Patriots SS Patrick Chung has left the game with a knee injury. His return is questionable.
Chung left Sunday's game against the Chargers early in the second quarter. Chung is second on the team with 47 tackles this season. The second-year player has a blocked punt and field goal as well.
Backup S Jarrad Page is out with a calf injury. The Patriots signed S Sergio Brown from their practice squad on Saturday.
The way we see it
The Patriots could use Chung back in the game to help defend the Chargers' potent passing attack that has already found success today. The safety position is extremely thin. James Sanders and Brandon Meriweather are the top two safeties with Brown being the only other active safety on the roster.

While we are still awaiting official word regarding Clint Dempsey's injury suffered while playing in a match for Fulham in the Premier League (early word is that it's "cruciate knee ligament damage"), SB Nation's Daily Soccer Fix takes a look at how the U.S. Men's National Team can cope with Dempsey's loss if he is forced to miss the World Cup.
Shifting Landon Donovan to the right is an option, but then that weakens the team as a whole, so maybe not the best idea. Steve Davis at Daily Soccer Fix offers his suggestion: Stuart Holden.
For me, this is the option that makes the most sense, and one that actually presents a chance for minimal dropoff. Holden could become to 2010 what DaMarcus Beasley was to 2002: a young, relatively unknown (around the world, that is) winger who causes trouble with his pace and hustle. If you watched Holden at all last year with the Dynamo, you know that guy works his little dri-fit socks off. He's always chasing back to help holding midfielder Ricardo Clark.
I've said before that I think Holden's best spot is out wide. The Dynamo plays him inside because that's where he best fits the club. Fair enough. But if he catches on somewhere in England this winter - and I see that as a big possibility - I do believe it will be as a wide midfielder.
There's also DeMarcus Beasley, Robbie Rogers, Sacha Kljestan and Jose Francisco Torres. But Holden should still be the number one choice as Dempsey's replacement, if needed.
In my mind, Holden is the best hope. He's got something. He may be as close as this team can come to replacing Dempsey with a dynamic, confident presence, one capable of seizing initiative through bold action. Technical proficiency isn't a problem. Heart and effort aren't a problem. His mad moment against Everton at last year's MLS All-Star game may raise some red flags, but in the absence of further evidence that he can't stomach the big stage, we can call that one a one-off accident for now.

Local heroes are being honored for their role in saving a little girl who could have drowned. Instead, the 8-year-old is alive and well, and on Thursday night, she was able to stand and thank the Good Samaritans who made her rescue possible. It was so close to being a summer of heartbreak in Fayette County when the lifeless body of an 8-year old was pulled from a neighborhood pool on June 29. John Wolka pulled the little girl, whose name is Ty'Ana, from the bottom of the pool. His wife started CPR, and Chris Carter helped.Battalion Chief Craig Woods was nearby with an AED. The timing was critical. From the call to the actual AED shock was 2 minutes and 35 seconds. That 2 minutes and 35 seconds of team work is why Ty'Ana is alive. The Fayette County Commission awarded the parents, paramedics and firefighters who worked as a team to coax life back into Ty'Ana, including her brother and a young neighbor who guided rescuers down the nearly hidden path to the community pool.Doctors now believe Ty'Anna suffered an epileptic seizure in the pool. The third grader is doing better now.
A fifth arrest has been made in connection with the murder of a 13-year-old in his own bedroom on Sunday.

DURHAM — Normally at Duke footballs radio show every Tuesday at Washington Duke Inn, theres a healthy gathering of loyal supporters.
This Tuesday, it was SRO with no chairs to spare.
As defensive end Kenny Anunike, cornerback Ross Cockrell and guard Dave Harding, the shows guests for the night, rotated between the on-air set, buffet and dining table, well wishers continually came up, offering congratulations. Cockrell, wearing a walking boot on his right leg to protect the injury that kept him out of most of the second half of Saturdays 13-10 win at No. 16 Virginia Tech, constantly reassured fans he would be fine.
Anunike and Harding were summoned during one break to sing Happy Birthday to one of their biggest fans. Someone even submitted Hardings name for the end-of-show raffle, much to his surprise (and to the surprise of co-host Art Chase, Dukes sports information director, who shot Harding a look before picking another name from the fish bowl).
Every one of the football players on this team came to Duke when it wasnt cool, when people didnt understand why, Harding had said Saturday in Blacksburg, moments after coming off the field. It was to do something like we did tonight. To become bowl eligible in back-to-back seasons for the first time in Duke history and to beat an excellent, ranked team on the road. This is a momentous win for us, and Im just proud of Duke football.
The thrill of victory still hung in the air at practice Tuesday morning and especially among fans and supporters at the radio show that night. Thats how coach David Cutcliffe wants it, as the Blue Devils have more time to savor the feeling with this weekends open date. The goal now is to take the positive momentum and use it to win the open date, as Cutcliffe says, getting healthier and better for the next game, Nov. 9 at home against N.C. State.
People have asked me, which one was bigger, the UNC game or this one, said tight end Braxton Deaver, referring to the 2012 win over the Tar Heels and last weekends win in Blacksburg against the Hokies. And I said this one. Obviously the UNC game was huge, a movement in culture almost for us, but this game was really the punch through the mold that put us on the map that weve really been trying to get on. It was unbelievable.
Beyond just the added attention around campus there were about 40 people waiting for the team bus when it returned to campus Saturday night the national media noticed Dukes win, too. Linebacker Kelby Brown was named the National Defensive Player of the Week, and the Blue Devils were named the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl National Team of the Week. USA Today, Sports Illustrated, ESPN and Yahoo Sports also drew attention to Dukes historic accomplishment.
I would tell anybody that it breeds confidence. Its good, Cutcliffe said of the added attention. But its been earned.
A lot has gone into this. Even if its for a day, to reap the benefits of all that, its got value because its not been handed. Its been earned. And thats a great lesson for these guys.
There is plenty left to accomplish and improve on this season. Most glaringly, the offense, which never found any rhythm in Blacksburg, must execute considerably better going forward. And the team as a whole must finish stronger. Last season, Duke lost its final five games after starting 6-2 (though the end of the year schedule, which included games against Florida State and Clemson, played a role in that).
Theres a big difference when youve been there, Cutcliffe said. A year ago, it was almost like, Weve done it. Were a bowl team. These guys, because they had never been to one, are like, Whats that going to be like? What do we do?
We had meetings all over campus, we had a meeting on the bowl, we had a bowl committee OK, hey, slow down a little bit. Theres four games left, each one of them has significance to us.
The Blue Devils returned to practice eager to improve Tuesday. That drive, Cutcliffe said, will ensure they build on their success.
The work was outstanding, he said. Were just going to keep doing what we do.

Now I must say the boat hasn't changed much in the last 8 years. And compared to the Freedom of the Seas and Disney Dream it was tiny and old looking. We got to the port at 10:45 dropped off the luggage, parked, checked in, photos taken and were seated in the holding area upstairs as our zone was already called all by 11:15. As soon as we were seated VIP were called to board. Within 10 minutes I was walking on. We went upstairs to the Lido and Mongolian Wok. It was ok better than most food but not something I would get at home. We then wandered over to the roast beef, burgers etc it was ok. Now the people watching begins. With the low rate you see everything imaginable. To my delight I saw less than 10 kids the entire trip... yeah school!
1:15 room was ready Our room was on the empress deck and 3 doors from main elevators and atrium lobby. Couldn't have asked for better location. Room steward greeted us, called us by name and kept room perfect. He was the best and immediately met every request. Room was super dark and perfect for my nap time. Hey it's my vacation and that includes a 2 hour nap daily. Typical inside room newer tv everything else was as pictured on website.
Due to last minute booking we had YTD. The Fantasy dining room was one floor up and we could see from outside the cabin by walking 10 steps (awesome room location). Even with a slight line we were always seated within 5-7 minutes. 3 nights same section last night different. Food was ok, always warm with a few things hot. Zydeco's menu with pictures was spot on so I knew exactly what to expect. Again nothing was great but all edible.
Entire trip weather was perfect! A few clouds, 10 minutes total rain and nice breeze.
Ports: Freeport took cab $8 round trip to Radisson Port Lucaya paid $10 to use pool(loved the pool with swim up bar), chairs on beach and most importantly restrooms! Less than 20 people at pool and beach combined which is nice however weird at same time.
Nassau stayed on boat until after dinner. Pool had a handful of people in it and plenty of open chairs everywhere. After dinner took $4 cab to Atlantis gambled a little walked around and came back.
Day at sea longer buffet lines and pool was packed and I mean packed. Music is the same as 2004. Any updated music would be appreciated. 1 pool is never enough.
Yes they are aggressive with alcohol, jewelry and picture sales. It's a cruise again it's expected.
Cruise director Wee Jimmy was funny and friendly. Shows were hokey. Funniest was love and marriage which was a hoot. I don't go on cheap cruises for the shows.
Be warned this boat rocks. 1st and last night you would think we were in high seas but the water was flat. It's like they turned off stabilizers those nights. The higher up you went the worse it was. Everyone noticed. Everyone was taking about it at breakfast. Very very rocky!
We took our bags off boat( otherwise we were group 19 which was slated to get off at 9:30) and at 7:30 we were off the boat. 7:45 thru customs and in our car pulling out of garage.
This boat is way out of its prime. However the staff was friendly and it met my last minute need. I wanted a fun girls trip. I went in with low expectations and was sometimes pleasantly surprised. Would I do this ship again? Probably not. Would I cruise Carnival again yes!

We had open seating dining and ate all our dinners in the main dining room. We never had a problem getting a table for 2 and the food was always well prepared. We ate a few breakfasts and lunches in the main dining room as well and as opposed to our experience on some other Holland America ships, service on the Ryndam was always prompt. Overall, service provided in the dining room and by our room stewards was excellent.
The Lido buffet offered a good selection of food, however, it seemed that some of the food was not held at a high enough temperature, and resulted in cool rather than hot entrees and sides.
In terms of entertainment, the ship had a contingent of 5 singers and 2 dancers who put on good shows for a ship of this size. In addition, one night there was a British comedian who was very good. On another night there was a pianist, who was not very memorable. The show that was the biggest disaster was Duo Des Iles, who did a fair job with their quick change routine and acrobatic dance, but tried to do a comedy skit that probably was the worst excuse for entertainment that I have seen in my many years of cruising.
The cruise director and his staff did a nice job in providing activities on board. The captain even participated in one of the cooking demonstrations and seemed very comfortable cooking. Captain Rowden was probably the most visible captain that I have seen on any cruise ship. He also did a great job of keeping the passengers informed about the ports we would be visiting and of a change in our itinerary. He and his staff kept an eye on weather forecasts and noticed that we could have problems trying to get into Marseille. So, a few days before our scheduled stop there, he mentioned that he was changing the itinerary and we would stop in Villefranche rather than Marseille. This was an excellent decision on his part as other ships were not able to dock at Marseille and we had no problems in Villefranche, which is a picturesque port from which either Monaco or Nice can be visited easily.
The ports for this cruise were Messina (we took a tour to Mount Etna), Argostoli, Brindisi, Kotor (a beautiful old city with an excellent hike to the fortress above the city), Civitavecchia (we took the bus to Tarquinia to visit the Etruscan necropolis), Livorno (we took a train to Pisa), and Villefranche (we took the train to Monaco). Kotor and Villefranche were tender ports, but the tendering operation went smoothly and we experienced no delays in getting ashore.
The Ryndam does not have the glitz of the newer ships and some of the furniture in a few of the lounges needs replacement, but I enjoy a ship of this size. Finding a place to sit was never a problem. The Ryndam even has happy hours in many of its lounges with the first drink at regular prices and the second for $1.
Since we packed light, we used express disembarkation and were off the ship shortly after it arrived back in Barcelona. Even with a delayed arrival because of bad weather, we were off the ship before 9 a.m. The biggest bottleneck was getting a cab after the cruise because the Ryndam passengers shared a taxi queue with passengers from a large NCL ship.
Overall this was a very enjoyable cruise and Holland America provided a cruise experience that met our expectations.

Nutt: Rugby trailblazers can inspire Old Tiffs footballers
10:00am Saturday 15th March 2014 in Sport By Jack Miller
Old Tiffinians chairman Greg Nutt is hoping the club's football section can follow in the footsteps of their rugby counterparts after landing FA Charter Standard status.
The Old Boys, who play in the AFC Intermediate South Division, join 7,000 other clubs across the country in attaining the award, and they hope it will open up access to greater funding.
And, with Old Tiffs rugby team currently 10 points clear at the top of Surrey Division One after Saturday's 11-7 win over Old Paulines, Nutt – who took charge four months ago – knows the example his men need to follow.
He said: "When I joined 10 years ago we were getting out seven teams every week. This has now dropped to just three, which is a common trend in old boys' football.
"Five years ago they [the rugby section] were in the same position, but they've turned it around too and their stunning league results reflect that. Hopefully, we can put together a run on the pitch like theirs."
He added: "Moving forward, achieving the next level of FA standard is definitely a long-term goal for us. But for now we are aiming to keep ourselves above water with the teams we have.
"We're also trying to re-establish links with the school that we had lost, and try and get a youth team going in partnership with them."
Old Tiffinians' rugby men, who have five games left, host third-placed Old Wimbledonians this afternoon.

A cloudy, rusty-orange pour....medium white head. Nose was subtle....some clove...only a bint of banana. Taste was modest...again, some banana and glove....little wheat crsipness. Mostly smooth and creamy mouthfeel...light bodied....not as pronounced as i might have liked. Very drinkable however.

served in weizen glass.
Look (4/5) - the color is light yellow, almost like the skin of a banana. Very opaque. A very large head rises and falls slowly, very mousy and very slowly falls. Some nice carbonation rises from the bottom of the glass.
Smell (4/5) - the nose if good for the style. Some nice wheat aroma, almost a bit more than most hefes, which give more on the yeast. As for the yeast, it's a bit more tart than usual (which I like), but well within the usual banana-clove arena
Flavor (3/5) - something's a bit off with the flavor on this one, it's almost more like a witbier than a hefe - more tart and citric than I'd have expected and with a very mild banana-clove profile than I'd have thought given the nose. Also, there is a bit of a latex or surgical glove taste to it, which I'm not digging.
Feel (3.5/5) - pretty standard for a hefe, maybe a touch too heavy with medium body and medium-high carbonation. More-or-less standard, though.
Drink (3/5) - I think the flavor was a bit off here - ended up having a very Belgian profile and didn't taste that much like a hefe. It was decent in terms of drinkability outside of style, if not for that rubbery flavor.

From BeerAdvocate magazine Issue #66 (July 2012):
LOOK: Hazed-over pale amber, excellent head & lacing
SMELL: Banana bread, dusty clove, bread, green peppercorn, light bubblegum, ripe fruit, yeast
TASTE: Incredibly smooth, big breadiness, medium body, green plantain chips, peppery, allspice, modest hopping, grainy, nutty yeast; grainy, semi-dry finish
More US brewers are emulating this beer style with great success, and it seems to be the trend style of the year as well. With that said, this brand might have a tougher road ahead if it's trying to make its way into the US beer market. Overall, a good sip and worthy of your time.

0.5l (in Berlin) ... a cloudy golden/yellow beer, crowned with a creamy, thick ringed lace. Notes of clove, light grain and yeast in the aroma.
Smooth, creamy mouthfeel. Semi-sweet malt character with a mineral/steely backbone. Lemon/lime hop bitterness. Nutty suggestions, with a light rounding banana flavour.
A refreshing weizen, quite easily consumed, and enjoyed.

The trusty Schöfferhofer is really good value at $19 a six pack, when singles of Schneider are $7 and Erdinger's at least $6. Reliable - doesn't vary much in flavour. Appearance is good - strong dense white head sticks around, carbonation great, colour is a rusty yellow, spot on for a Hefe. Smell is overwhelmingly overripe banana, and a few other aromas, nothing too complex but nice, and appropriate. Taste is predominantly thirst-quenching - it's not a rich melange of curious flavours but it's refreshing, tasty, and goes with anything that's not too potent. I had it with some Wensleydale cheese and marinated artichokes today and that was a great combination. Kalamata olives were too powerful in flavour, as was some ashed Tasmanian goat's cheese. Right now I'm having it on it's own and it's delicious.
Mouthfeel is a little thin but undistracting. Better hefes have more to them, and the wateriness of this refreshing beer is noticeable. Still leaves a damn nice taste in your mouth though. As for drinkability - at this price, you can't do better. I had two this afternoon, my girlfriend had one, and I've just had three delicious Schöffers in a row and wish I had another six to enjoy. This isn't the first and definitely not the last time I've had this beer. It's extremely good value for money and every last beer is rewarding. Best value for money Hefe I've had in Australia - with the different beer taxes in Germany, I may find another favourite. Overall, a splendid brew.

Single bottle as part of the LCBO's summer release. Hot almost-summer's day, patio and sun - the perfect mix for a hefeweizen!
Poured into a hefe glass. A brilliant looking hefe - cloudy, amber-golden, a two inch head that displays outstanding retention, scads of sticky lacing. First rate.
Nose is pleasant hefe: wheat malt, yeast, a bit of bubblegum, floral hops, citrus.
Dry, good notes of wheat and flowers, and finishes slightly citrussy and bitter. Banana and bubblegum flavors are hard to detect, but they are lurking there. One of the driest hefe's I've encountered in a long time, somewhat lacking in the flavor department. Creamy mouthfeel, sticky, thick-bodied, mild carbonation.
Too subdued, not among my favorites, but certainly pleasant to drink. But there are better hefeweizens to be had at better prices.

A middle of the road German wheat, which is not a bad thing at all, light, sweetish, fruity (banana), bubblegummy, but not overly so of any of these, very refreshing aswell, not overly interesting, but highly drinkable.

Have had this beer on tap in Frankfurt Airport, and also in bottle form at home in UK, purchased in a local supermarket.
Appearance is good and typical of the German Hefe Weizen style, though aroma is less pronounced and "fruity" than most other German Wheat beers. This is reflected in the flavours. It has a thinner and much drier taste and texture than the best German Wheat beers, lacking in depth or complexity, though is refreshing. Very little of the cloves and banana hints as in most Wheat Beers, just a dry crisp character that in the end is rather bland and uninspiring. Whilst this would be refreshing well chilled on a hot summers day, it is hardly inspiring or grabs your attention to want more.
There are so many other far better German Hefe Weiss beers than this, Schneider being my favourite, followed by Andechs, Paulaner, Aying, Erdinger, Weihenstephen, Weltenburger, Karg....not necessarily in that order...and many others.
The brewery address seems to indicate that Henninger Brau beers are also brewed on this site, non of those being particularly good either, so it seems to be an "industrial" brewery complex!

This poured to a nice light gold and yellow color, with a large head that lasted well. A thick lace looks good too.
The taste has a light grain feel, along with hints of banana. The smell is highlights the etsers. The mouthfeel is pretty solid, and it's easy to drink.

500ml bottle, best before December 2012.
This beer pours a misty, yet bright, medium golden amber, with three fingers of slick, shiny white whipped egg yolk head, which settles at an agreeable canter, leaving some ambitious geologic arches of lace around a portion of the glass.
It smells of grainy wheat malt, banana muffin, mild lemon oil, earthy clove, and subtle musty hops. The taste is fruity wheat, further mild banana esters, a bit of yeast, pleasantly muddled spice - I get more clove and some pepper, mostly, with a soft earthy dryness rounding things out.
The carbonation is a tad zesty at first, but drifts into a more somniferous state soon enough, the body a decent medium weight, no more, no less, and adequately smooth. It finishes off-dry, yes, but between the edgy, spicy wheat, and the latent ambiguous hops, it's not by much.
An enjoyable, fruity, well-balanced hefeweizen, which really has no problem showcasing what the wheat can do for you.

Deep golden orange and very turbid. Loads of apparent carbonation on pour. Massive tower of off-white foam shows good retention and cling. Mild banana and lemon aroma also shows a hint of vanilla. Solid bubblegum and banana flavour with bright citrus piercing through. More bubblegum than banana. Clove is muted and hard to detect. This seems a little less carbonated than more well-known weissbiers like Paulaner, Hacker, or Weihenstephaner. Smooth mouthfeel. A decent & simple weissbier that leans more towards the candystore flavours and less toward the spice rack.

If you're making a list of the toughest losses in Detroit Tigers history, you have to start with the winner-take-all postseason games:
Game 7 in the 1909 World Series
Game 7 in the 1934 World Series
Game 7 in the 1940 World Series
Game 5 in the 1972 American League Championship Series
Most Tigers fans don't remember any of those games, except perhaps the '72 loss to Oakland.
In recent memory, the toughest Tiger loss happened exactly two years ago today.
In 2009, the Tigers owned a seven-game lead in the American League Central in early September. But then the Twins got hot, and at the conclusion of the schedule the two clubs both were 86-76. So on the 6th of October, they played a one-game playoff for the division title.
Though mired in a controversy about his condition the previous weekend, Miguel Cabrera hit a two-run homer in the third, and the Tigers led 3-0 early. The Twins fought back for the lead, but Magglio Ordonez's solo shot in the eighth made the score 4-4. Brandon Inge RBI double in the 10th pushed Detroit ahead by a run, but Tigers reliever Fernando Rodney gave the run back in the bottom of the 10th; only a thrilling line-drive double play kept the Twins from winning then.
In the top of the 12th, the Tigers loaded the bases with two outs but couldn't score. And in the bottom of the 12th, the Twins finally pushed the winning across the plate and headed to their Division Series date with the Yankees (which they lost, as usual).
The pain from that game will never go away completely. But beating the New York Yankees would certainly salve the wound a little. Or maybe a lot.

FreeBSD 8.0 with Production-Ready ZFS
The FreeBSD project has released its 8.0 version of the free UNIX operating system, thereby starting a new stable branch.
The FreeBSD group declared the ZFS transactional filesystem production-ready in the new release. The Sun-based filesystem is under its CDDL licensing that prevents it from adoption into the Linux kernel.
In matters virtualization FreeBSD can serve as host or guest for VirtualBox and guest for Xen. The typical BSD "jails" are organized hierarchically. The developers also completely rewrote the USB system and NFS v4 has experimental implementation support. The MIPS platform also has experimental support. The GNOME desktop environment supported is version 2.26.3 and KDE is 4.3.1.
The FreeBSD release notes have the release highlights, with another version going into further details.
The new BSD release is available for download on 32-bit and 64-bit Intel processors, AMD64, PowerPC and SPARC64, with images for various installation methods.

Reviews by ghetto90007:
3.73/5 rDev -8.6%
Poured into a pint glass, served at about 55 degrees.
Thick tan head, dark brown to black, nearly opaque. Lacing is substantial.
Nose is roasted malt, chocolate, some espresso notes, and I can tell there will be some piney hops.
Hmm, this one is an "imperial" stout? Roasted malt character seems to take a back seat to mild milk chocolate sweetness and caramel. Some espresso notes lurk in the background, but nothing bordering on complexity here. Hops comes in and while I would want to say that they are balancing, they don't seem to be melded into the flavor enough - instead they are sort of jumbling.
I had high hopes for this one, but I was a little unimpressed here. The malt profile is straightforward, lacking the complexity that we all love in imperial stouts. And the hops, while tasty, don't lend much to this beer and instead create a confused beer that is like scattershot on the palate.
Mouthfeel is very soft, smooth from the lactose character. Drinkable. Carbonation is just right.
This one seems to lack the richness and intensity of an imperial stout. While intense does not always equal good, as we have discussed here on BA, intense seems to be part of the imperial styles, particularly the American Imperial Stout which traces it's roots to the Russian Imperial Stout. Accordingly, I found this one a little underwhelming.
With the lower key roasted malt character and strong hop notes, it struck me more as a Cascadian Black Ale (or American Black Ale, as it is officially referred to here on BA), or a stout of a lesser order.
I enjoyed drinking this beer, but it doesn't stand up to other imperial stouts.

TASTE: Intensely creamy, mild coffee, brown sugar, sweetness, warming alcohol, sorghum, burnt raisins, tangy; charred finish
What we have here is a very different Imperial Stout. Highly drinkable and interesting, with a tangy dryness that keeps you coming back for more. Love the balance and the depth that opens up after each sip.

On tap at Imbibe. Had this many times on tap at KRBC but never posted a review. Pours black with a thick head. As you drink the beer it leaves a lot of lace down the glass. The smell and taste is that of cocoa with a hint of chocolate. The mouthfeel is medium to heavy. What I think makes this stout so good is the depth of flavors. That fact that it is a three way stout probably contributes to this. A very good stout that never disappoints.

Thanks to solomon for this brew in a trade. Cheers! Pours jet black and with a very thin head. Smells of malt & coffee. Taste is an enjoyable mix of roasted malt and coffee. Mouthfeel is very smooth. It takes a few sips to detect the etoh but it is in there. This is a very good American Stout.

Poured dark, dark brown, maybe see-through black with red edges. Flat tan head, moderate lacing. Chocolate and burnt malt aroma. Claims Chinook and Cascade hops, but the aroma is more veggie than resin. Smooth, slick mouthfeel which compliments the smooth taste. Caramel and chocolate are dominant but it remains sweet rather than bitter. No soy sauce, nice. Again, I'n not feeling the hops, which is probably good. Kern River has something going here. Buttery coffee finish with a little cream. Liked it.

Nearly black in color with a thin dark brown head that leaves thin sheets of lace down the glass. Pretty and appropriate.
Nice, complete, rich aroma of dark chocolate, coffee, and dark roasted malt.
The flavor is very similar to the aroma with dark chocolate and coffee flavors dominating, along with moderate levels of dark roast, and some muted hop bitterness.
Medium bodied with moderate carbonation.
Very nice, very tasty, somewhat low-ABV, imperial stout.

Black pour tan head. Inviting aroma of chocolate and alcohol.
Whoa, there's lots of chocolate in this. And it never goes away, its there throughout the entire bottle and mouthfeel. Rich. Alcohol is not as strong as I thought it would be, melds nicely. No off flavors, mild hopping, but make no mistake, the chocolate is the top dawg on this one. And its lovely. If you like Rogue's Chocolate Stout, this is similar in the immensity of the chocolate, but has a thicker and chewier mouthfeel to it. Good amount of smooth and sweetness to it, this one really does push forward all the good things from a milk and oatmeal stout with the largeness of an imperial and of course, the chocolat!

Dark tan head forms nice and thick with chunky sporadic lacing forming nicely between sips and as it settles. Aromatics offer up dark chocolate and coffee roasts with hints of anise and herbal hops in the background. Flavor wise the chinooks were evident with a green spicy herbal leaf flavor amongst te dark creamy chocolate and coffee bursts. A very nice big American stout from the west coast, these Kern River beers are so drinkable this one has a big body but nothing about it hurts the drinkability. Carbonation is smooth and mellow slightly chewy with body being so big, but it never becomes cloying. A beer I will be on the look for if it every comes East or shows up in the Burgh.

Shipped from Hi-Times back in July... brought a couple of bottles to share at DDay.
Pours black with a 2-finger off white head.
A copious amount of dark malt in the nose. Hints of coffee and some hops as well. I can tell this is a west coast stout right off the bat. Nothing too nuts, but this is a solid pour and first smell.
Those roasted malts and coffee are prominent in the taste as this glides down easy. Not picking up much more as it warms. Perhaps some added sweetness. As expected, a tad thin in the mouthfeel, but that makes it all the more drinkable.
My first taste from Kern River and I hope I can try the BA version of this in the future.

Thanks to glitchedmind for this one.
A: Pours black with a small khaki colored head on top, decent retention, leaving a thin ring on top. Nice lacing all around the glass.
S: Very clean, mostly dark roasted malt with some dark chocolate and a little bit of coffee.
T: Nice chocolate flavor mixed with roasted, grainy malt. There is a touch of brown sugar. the hints of coffee in the aroma do not translate to the flavor profile.
M: Medium bodied with low to medium carbonation. No sign of abv at all.
O: Not a huge Imperial, more of an easy drinker. Nice flavor profile, very clean.

Pitch black color with no penetrable light. Large, dense foamy tan head with excellent retention and lacing.
Nice mocha, coffee, rich roasted malt and faint bourbon notes on the nose.
Flavors are great and robust with excellent balance. Nice mocha and dark chocolate, coffee and deep dark malt notes.
Full bodied but not heavy at all. Very nice. Just a touch dry. Med-high carbonation but a nice creamy carbonation.
Overall, Just a perfect imperial stout especially for the value. IMO this and Stone IRS are absolutely the best overall stouts around especially for the price. Excellent from nose to flavor and mouth. Bright and robust. Better that many big special released imperials I've had.

Overall the cruise was okay, but I don't really think it measured up to the 4.5 rating that it was scored at.
Our room was a balcony, but we endured noise all night long, coming from the kitchen area above. All night long we could hear carts rolling, along floors and through doorways. We advised guest services the first night, and on the second night we called them in the middle of the second night and a staff member came in. They did not have any other rooms, and since we already had a balcony we were not looking for an upgrade - just a peaceful sleep. They offered us a discount, but this really wasn't what we wanted - we did not expect this continued nightly noise from the staff and kitchen.
The food was okay, but not exceptional. We were quite selective where we ate - our dinners were all in the dining room with open seating, but we sat in the same section and enjoyed exceptional wait staff - Clive and his helpers. The food was quite good, lobster, prime rib, fish - the soups were excellent and the desserts amazing - especially recommend the melting chocolate dessert.
Buffet was not as good. I enjoyed the salad bar, the deli sandwich area, and the fresh pizza, but in general the buffet was lacking in many choices of food.
We enjoyed morning room service, however coffee was not very hot when it arrived - the thermos containers were plastic and didn't seem to keep it hot. Citrus fruit sections tasted like they were canned instead of fresh fruit. However breakfast arrived at the time ordered.
As well, I was shocked the the lack of hand sanitizers. I was actually looking for them and they were often out of the way, and lots were empty or not working. This made me a bit uneasy. When we came back from time on shore we were not greeted with wet facecloths, sanitizers, drinking water, or any of the normal amenities other cruises offer.
In general, I was quite surprised that staff seemed to have issues - generally not very friendly, often preoccupied, frequently walking in front of guests, bumping people with trays, chatting to each other while ignoring dirty tables..
The room was fairly large, with a larger balcony, but there was gob of food dirt on the outside the balcony glass that was there for the entire cruise, even after they cleaned the balcony (since it was on the outside the glass).
Bed was comfortable. Room was adequate. Still old fashioned TV's that stuck out on shelf and I kept hitting my head on it. Nice when they convert to flat screens.
No creams, moisturizers, in the bathroom - shampoo in dispenser on the wall. Pretty bare minimum - they did provide bathrobes.
As in post cruises, the lounge chairs are empty but covered with towels. No one monitoring this, so all prime location loungers are reserved.
Entertainment: We enjoyed a couple of shows, and the Legend 12 piece band was excellent. They were the highlight of the entertainment. Compared to other cruises, entertainment wasn't that great.
I was also quite surprised by the disembarkation process. We had to be up and in the theatre by 7:30 am (all the non American guests, that is)... so we were up really early, waiting to get cleared by customs, then sent back to our rooms, and then had to be out of the rooms by 8:45 although we couldn't take our luggage and go off with the US guests (the non American guests could only leave the ship by zones and couldn't take our luggage and walk off) So it was a really long process to leave the ship.
Most disappointing was the fact that I mistakenly left my Iphone in the stateroom when I left,(I had to set the alarm to get up and out by 7:30 am) and have not been able to get it back. When I was on shore and away from the docks it was impossible to call Carnival on the weekend to get any response or to locate the phone. When I called on Monday morning they reported the incident, and now a week has gone by with no response from them. I'm still hoping Carnival will come through and return my phone to me.

Michael Appleton a perfect fit for Oxford United, says new chief executive
9:30am Monday 7th July 2014 in Sport By David Pritchard, Chief Sports Reporter covering Oxford United. Follow us on twitter: @oxfordmailoufc. Call me on 01865 425458
MICHAEL Appleton officially starts work at Oxford United today, with the man who made the appointment comparing him to Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers.
The new head coach will meet the players for the first time this morning to end a whirlwind few days at the club.
The move to sack Gary Waddock and bring in the former Portsmouth and Blackburn boss on Friday took everyone by surprise.
It was part of a shake-up at boardroom level with the arrival of Darryl Eales as chairman and Mark Ashton as chief executive.
Ashton has known Appleton for more than a decade and sees similarities between the 38-year-old and the previous manager he hired, during his time at Watford.
He said: "I look for a specific DNA in managers and coaches.
"The last manager I appointed was a gentleman called Brendan Rodgers.
"He was a coach at Chelsea who no-one had heard of at that point, but I saw something in Brendan and he has exceeded everyone's expectations.
"If Michael gets anywhere near that we'll have all done very well.
"I see that hunger, determination and professionalism and he has been educated in that way."
Appleton will need to hit the ground running, with the season less than five weeks away and United's first pre-season game, at Farnborough, this Saturday.
He will be the fourth person picking the side in less than six months, with caretaker manager Mickey Lewis and Waddock following on from Chris Wilder's exit in January.
United are in need of some stability, with Appleton in a similar position.
He will be remembered by many for stints at Blackpool and Blackburn, which both lasted just over two months, following on from a year at a financially troubled Portsmouth.
Ashton believes Appleton has been unfortunate and is confident this will not be a short-term arrangement.
He said: "Michael's taken on some challenging roles.
"His words to me were 'yes the next club I go to is vitally important, but more important are the people'.
"With myself, Darryl and Ian (Lenagan) he sees stability and he's adamant he wants to be somewhere he is successful for a long period of time, so we think the fit is right."
The pair first met at West Brom, when Appleton was a player and Ashton, a former goalkeeper at the Hawthorns, was running the club's centre of excellence.
When injury cut short the midfielder's career, the club offered him the chance to work in the coaching system.
Ashton said: "What was clear was as a player he was a natural leader.
"We brought him in and he started with the under 13s and progressed through to assistant manager to Roy Hodgson.
"He was educated in a way of working with a group of people who allow the first team head coach to focus on purely winning football matches.
"He understands that and hence we felt the fit was perfect."

I wish Appleton all the best as am glad Waddock is gone, i'm sure he won't lose 7 of his first 8 games
To be fair, MA was on a hiding to nothing at his previous clubs who were even more comically run than we have been for the last 6 months or so.
Good luck to him. Let's hope the players respond well to him and that he is able to bring in a couple of decent new signings as we are desperately crying out for some strength and experience.
