Providence University College Public Lecture Series
This series of seven free public lectures are designed to offer a free educational experience for the general public by Providence University College faculty.
The third lecture in the series, titled "A Call to Reimagine Theological Directives for a Diaspora Church" will be given by Randall Holm, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Biblical Studies.
Lecture Description:
In a Western postmodern world, the church is slowly coming to terms with its new life scattered on the margins of society. Denominational loyalties are thin if existent at all, and previous theological identities that divided are now interlocking in new and divergent ways. The change has not always been welcome or uniform, but it is allowing the church to rediscover its best transformative work as perhaps the "Official Opposition" to societal norms and values.
About Randall Holm:
Randall Holm received the PhD from Université Laval in the field of theology. He is a currently a professor of Biblical Studies. Prior to his decision to pursue a career in academics in 1991, he pastored in the Province of Québec for 12 years.

Has a point about Evans. Both players go to ground at pace in opposite directions. He's very lucky that a) Shelvey caught him rather than the other way round and b) he wasn't seriously injured.
It can do, if United had been one-up then the game is over, or against lesser oppo. Seen it dozens of times. In this situation, probably no.
I always say that the last World Cup final, was a perfect example of sending offs maybe making a game better, if they'd happened. Couldn't have been any worse.
I'm old School, so I would have just booked Shelvey, but as Citizen Neville said, Evans was just as wild, so send them both off.
Do I contradict myself?
Very well then I contradict myself,

Ahaha Rafaelllll. Beauty.
We only start playing when behind, isn't this exactly what happened last season too?
Penalty, pure and simple. Don't care if he did a triple-pike after, contact and another wild challenge from Evans.
Didn't see the first half. Why did Shelvey have a go at Old Purple Chops when he was on his way to an early bath?
I mean, aside from being a cock, obvz. Had Ferguson said something?

We're still second best here. Looks like we're the ones with ten men.

3 Dimensional: Oakley Wake Team Drops Stunning 3D Film Project in Orlando, To Hit Stores in Europe & Latin America
Oakley's Wake Team is full of the most dynamic, high-flying wakeboarders and wake skaters on the Planet – packed with some of the most tantalizing tricks anywhere.
So it was only appropriate to give fans a front seat view of their aerial insanity…on the big screen…in 3D.
Atop the Orlando (Florida) skyline at Star Tower, the O Team kicked off the season with a super exclusive event set to debut their stunning 3D video project.
From young phenom Harley Clifford to Women's Team ripper Amber Wing, the entire team converged upon Blue Lake in Clermont, Florida for a three day shoot – capturing the drama and intensity that comes with busting out the gnarliest maneuvers ever thrown on the back of a boat or on a cable.
The resulting four minute, action packed 3D clip, scheduled to be showcased in 7,500 electronics stores throughout Europe and South America – as well as 110 Oakley Stores (domestic and overseas), will place the sheer explosiveness of Oakley's riders on full display for the masses to experience on 3D screens (with, preferably, Oakley 3D glasses).
But it wouldn't be a bona fide Oakley launch without some major good times.
Held on Easter Sunday at the roof top of a high-rise condo clubhouse and pool, celebration festivities commenced with catered food, a bar full of refreshments and custom Oakley gift bags that included Mastercraft T-Shirts, Oakley 3D Gascan Eyewear and tons of other gifts for guests.
And of course, no O event would be complete without the team itself, other top wakeboarding athletes/industry leaders and special guests…all of whom enjoyed a killer custom Oakley Art Show based on the team through the eyes of Josh Letchworth, Aaron Katen, Bryan Soderlind, Chris Garrison, Bill Doster and Joey Meddock.
To top it all off, a DJ and celebrity guests, including Chris Duhon from the Orlando Magic (NBA) and Santonio Holmes from the New York Jets (NFL), rocked the house for the O Team as it prepares to charge head first into the coming Wake Games and the 2012 season.
Stay tuned for an online 2-D version of the clip – and be sure to drop into your local Oakley Store this Summer to witness history with the World's first wakeboarding film.
Special thanks to: Mastercraft, Dive Bar, Vitamin Water, Kona Brewery and all the athletes/media that made the evening super special for Oakley.

Spring breakers aren't baring it all in bikini's this week. Instead, they're baring the cold, in hoodies and sweatshirts.
"We were hoping for like 80 degree weather but when we wake up its been like 40's," says spring breaker Allison Blanchard.
Many come to Panama City Beach to escape the cold at home, like Jessica Brock from the University of Delaware.
"Well, it's snowing there, and it feel like it could snow here," says Brock.
The average temperature for the last week in March usually hovers in the upper 70's. However, Tuesday and Wednesday, Panama City Beach-goers are seeing highs of 55 and lows dipping into the 30's.
"We've basically been at the pool most of the time anyway's because it's not windy, but the beach is too windy," says Blanchard.
For those not brave enough for the beach, many are passing on bronzing for buying. Hy's Toggery at Pier Park is seeing a boost in business thanks to this unusual chill.
they've been coming in off the beach exploring pier park a little bit here with the cold weather which has been nice. Get out spend a little money on some clothes instead of other things they normally buy," says store manager Josh Wakstein.
Often tourist end up shopping for the warm clothes they didn't bring on vacation. Hy's Toggery says number's have been up significantly over last year.
The good news for visitors longing for the beach, Friday temperatures are expected to reach into the 70's.

Staff Writer
---- — This year, instead of traveling to Gloucester's neighborhoods, the mayor will deliver her State of the City address at City Hall.
The mayor's annual address to Gloucesterites will come in a different form this year, but will still hit on residents' biggest concerns regarding the city's finances and infrastructure, with a special discussion on community development.
Mayor Carolyn Kirk will deliver her state of the city address Monday night as one large presentation, with public officials available to answer audience questions, rather than give the neighborhood addresses as she has in the past. Kirk said the new format will create an opportunity for residents to reach out to all of their public officials, instead of just the one or two she brought along to each community meeting.
"I love going to the neighborhoods, but the challenge is I'll bring the DPW director to Lanesville, for example, and I'll bring the CFO to Magnolia, rather than dragging each official along with me on each of the five nights ... and residents who have the CFO director in front of them wish they had the DPW director in front of them and vice versa."
Instead, this year residents can attend one consolidated presentation in Kyrouz Auditorium at City Hall on Monday beginning at 7 p.m. As requested by residents, department heads will attend, including the police and fire chiefs, chief financial officer, Public Works director, city solicitor, acting community development director, harbor planning director, environmental engineer, director of veterans services and the public health director.
Question and answer sessions will take place throughout the presentation, as inquiries arrive. Plus, Kirk intends to leave extra time for questions so city officials can answer as many as possible.
"People come out, they're there, and they have questions," Kirk said. "I don't like to leave any question unanswered."
Within Kirk's own Power-Point presentation, the mayor will highlight tax dollar revenues, planned and completed work on city infrastructure projects, such the water project, through charts, photos and images. This year's address will also paint a picture of upcoming community development work such as the Harbor Plan, and showcase some of the city's Community Preservation Act projects. And, Kirk said, it will introduce interested people to the projects, giving them a chance to dive in deeper later.
"It's like a tease," Kirk said. "If you want to learn more, go to the website and dig in, or if you have a project you think might work, learn how to apply."
Kirk hopes to see at least 100 Gloucesterites turn out for the presentation, emphasizing the format allows people to ask questions of their public employees or just listen to answers and put names to faces, and she said the address is an opportunity for community members, seasoned and new, to learn.
"It's a really good reminder to people who have lived in the city for a long time of what has been going on, and what is happening in the city," Kirk said. "And, it's a great orientation for anyone who's new to the city."
Marjorie Nesin can be reached at 978-283-7000 x3451, or firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you go Who and what: Mayor Carolyn Kirk gives her State of the City address. When: Monday at 7 p.m. Where: Kyrouz Auditorium, City Hall, 9 Dale Ave. How much: Free to the public.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Government forecasters say a big storm that they're calling "Frankenstorm" is likely to blast most of the U.S. East Coast next week.The storm is an unusual mix of a hurricane and a winter storm. The worst of it could be focused around New York City and New Jersey.Forecasters on Thursday said there's a 90 percent chance that the East will get steady gale-force winds, flooding, heavy rain and maybe snow starting Sunday and stretching past Wednesday.The hurricane part of the storm is likely to come ashore somewhere in New Jersey on Tuesday morning.NOAA forecaster Jim Cisco said the storm is so massive that the effects will be felt along the entire coast from Florida to Maine and inland to Ohio.

ANDERSON — Entering the sectional championship game, Jerian Beard was well aware of Cathedral's Terry McLaurin. And the Anderson senior's focus was making sure McLaurin became aware of him as well.
After a week on intense preparation, Beard held Indiana's Mr. Football award winner to just one reception on seven targets.
Not bad for a running back who gained 2,205 yards in three varsity seasons and didn't play defensive back before August.
"I think he's really better on defense," Anderson coach Randy Albano said. "After watching him cover the kid from Cathedral, I'd think he could cover about anybody."
McLaurin is heading to Ohio State after catching 97 passes for 1,911 yards and 22 touchdowns during his high school career. He played just 2 1/2 quarters against the Indians, and the Irish — with a host of other weapons — cruised to a 56-13 victory.
But Beard held his own against the state's most explosive offensive star. That might have come as a surprise to some, but not to the Anderson standout.
"I wasn't scared, I know that," he said. "He had the big talk going into the offseason, and I respect him as a player. But I respect myself, too. I knew he was good, but I'm going to always bring my 'A' game."
Injuries to his knee and ankle limited Beard to just seven games this season. And, all the while, he was learning a new position.
He'd been an outside linebacker for the Indians as a sophomore but played exclusively on offense during his junior season. Graduation losses in the defensive backfield convinced Albano to move Beard to safety this summer. When injuries depleted the depth chart at cornerback, Beard moved again.
He made 38 tackles, four for a loss, and had one interception en route to all-state recognition from the Indiana Football Coaches Association. He's also been named The 2013 Herald Bulletin Football Defensive Athlete of the Year.

The Eagles fought off countless Marion County rallies before finally picking up a 74-65 at Sumiton Christian High School.
Marion County trailed by as many as 14 points in the first half and nine points in the second half, but cut the gap each time.
The Red Raiders never got closer than four points in the final quarter and Sumiton Christian connected on free throws down the stretch to put the game away.
"One of our goals at the beginning of the season was to try to at least get second or third in the area so we wouldn't have to face the area winner on their home court," Sumiton Christian coach Bill Griffin said.
"We accomplished that. Now we get to play Lynn and try to beat them to get out of the area."
Sumiton Christian will take on Lynn in the area tournament at area champion Parrish next month. The loser will see its season come to an end.
On Monday, Marion County kept the game close behind Ready Swanigan and Collin Roberts. Swanigan had 18 of his 30 points in the first half while Roberts had all 20 of his points in the second half. The rest of the Marion County team accounted for 15 points.
Sumiton Christian controlled the game early.
The Eagles (18-7 overall, 5-3 in area play) were up 15-4 after the first quarter and pushed their lead to 18-4 early in the second quarter.
Swanigan scored twice in the final minute of the half to cut the gap to 28-24 and Sumiton Christian's DeMonte Hobbs drove the lane for a layup at the buzzer to put the Eagles ahead 30-24 at the half.
Marion County notched the game at 35-35 in the third quarter following a pair of Swanigan baskets and a Colton Dennis layup at the 4:17 mark.
Sumiton Christian retaliated with a 9-0 run.
Spencer DeFoor started the rally with a score. Vann Lovelady had four points in the run, including a putback with 2:03 left in the quarter to put the Eagles up 44-35.
Marion County cut the lead to four points at 48-44, but the Red Raiders got no closer.
Sumiton Christian put 26 points on the scoreboard in the final quarter.
For the Eagles, Lovelady led the way with 23 points, Hobbs put in 17 and Austin Bice added 10.
Sumiton Christian is scheduled to host Meek today. Marion County hosts No. 3 Parrish.
The Class 1A, Area 13 Tournament will be held on Feb. 8 and Feb. 10 at Parrish High School.
Sumiton Christian 40, Marion County 37
Kendell Hamm hit four 3-pointers and finished with 16 points as the Sumiton Christian Eagles outlasted Marion County 40-37 in the girls game.
Sumiton Christian (15-8, 3-5) trailed 6-4 after a low-scoring first quarter. Marion County led 20-17 at the half and the teams were tied at 30-30 after three quarters. The Eagles outscored the Red Raiders 10-7 over the final eight minutes to earn the win.
Both Collin Bowen and Anna Fitzgerald had six points for the Eagles while Abbie Brewster added 12 rebounds.
Walker 98, Fayette County 55
Walker was on its game Monday night at Songer Gym.
The Vikings put 65 points on the scoreboard in the first half and knocked down 14 3-pointers in a 98-55 rout of Fayette County. Walker's long-range has improved as the season has progressed.
"That's part of the way we play. We want to shoot a lot of 3s because we don't have a big presence underneath," Walker coach Rufus McDuffie said.
Following a loss to Tuscaloosa County on Friday, Walker got back on track against the Tigers. The Vikings held a commanding 32-16 lead after the first quarter and they pushed it to 65-36 at the half. Walker (14-8) led 86-51 going into the final quarter.
Aaron Morris paced Walker, knocking down five 3-pointers and finishing with 19 points, Dawson Salors connected on a pair of 3-pointers and had 18 points, Brandon Thursby made three 3-pointers and had 12 points while Kenyatta Woods added 11 points.
Walker plays at Cold Springs today.
Parrish 66, Lynn 33
In a matchup between county champions, Parrish ran out to a 26-8 lead over Lynn and never looked back, beating the Bears 66-33 at Lynn High School on Monday.
Parrish won the Walker County crown on Saturday while Lynn won the Winston County title on Saturday. Parrish (20-2, 7-0) coasted through the final three quarters. The Tornadoes were up 35-19 at the half and 49-29 after three quarters.
Trayvon Chatman paced Parrish with 18 points and six assists, Barry Hill had 10 points, 11 rebounds and five blocks and Jermichael Harris added 10 points.
Parrish hosts Marion County today while Lynn plays at Berry on Thursday.
Ben Cagle had 17 points while Peyton Moore added nine for Lynn (15-8).
Lynn 53, Parrish 20
Parrish, playing without several starters, failed to score more than seven points in a quarter as Lynn earned the 53-20 win.
Lynn (21-2) was led by both Reagan Tittle and Emma Easley with 18 points. Easley added 12 rebounds, Kelei McGough had six points, Brooke Harris added five, Abbey Terry put in four and Holly Murray had two points.
The Bears 14-7 after the opening quarter and added to their lead throughout the game. Lynn was up 30-12 at the half and 46-16 after three quarters.
For Parrish, Mekya Hill had 13 points.

Wheelchair basketball was born in 1946 in Veterans Administration (VA) hospitals in Birmingham (CAL) and Framingham (MA) where World War II veterans were being treated for various degrees of paralysis. Recognizing that they would by necessity use wheelchairs for the rest of their lives, they sought entertainment through numerous sports. Many started with ping-pong and pool, then progressed to bowling and swimming and quickly to wheelchair softball and basketball.
Within two years, six teams emerged, representing VA hospitals across the USA. National tournaments were organized and hosted by the Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA). Consequently, in 1948, the NWBA and the first official National Wheelchair Basketball Tournament (NWBT) were organized by NWBA Hall-of-Fame inductee Tim Nugent of the University of Illinois. That year, in a remarkable act of self-determination, the Birmingham (CAL) VA Flying Wheels took to the air and challenged teams throughout the USA. Wheelchair basketball soon became the number-one sport for individuals with disabilities.
Wheelchair basketball for women began to surface in the mid-1960s. In1968. a US team competed alongside US men in the Paralympic Games in Tel Aviv, Israel. Since only a men's division existed at that time, the few women who played in the US competed on teams consisting of men only. By 1970, one team had been formed, the University of Illinois Ms. Kids. During the 1973-1974 season, the Ms. Kids played the Southern Illinois University Squidettes in the Men's Old Gym on the University of Illinois campus in Urbana. This was the first recorded wheelchair basketball game between two organized women's teams in the US, and coincidentally, the first women's wheelchair basketball game between two collegiate women's teams. A proposal to create a Women's Division was submitted to and approved by NWBA delegates in 1977 by University of Illinois' graduate student and future Hall-of-Famer Bob Szyman. By 1978 six teams competed in the national tournament, hosted by the University of Illinois. At present, 5 teams compete in the traditional Women's Division, 5 in the Intercollegiate Women's Division.
Since 1991, the NWBA has attained considerable recognition in the public domain. It became an associate member of the US Congress. It is now an active member of USA Basketball. Its former Commissioner, Stan Labanowich, yet another University of Illinois graduate and NWBA Hall of Famer, was appointed to USA Basketball's Board of Directors.
Wheelchair basketball has come a long way since its origins in the US in the mid-1940s. The NWBA has since grown to 192 teams. We are also proud to say that the pioneering National Wheelchair Basketball Association has given birth to hundreds of teams from North and South America, Africa, Asia, and Europe, And we don't plan on slowing down anytime soon. The next stop for the NWBA - the Olympics.

BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC (WECT) – The Town of Navassa is allegedly still withholding money from an officer who left the town's police department earlier this year.
According to a spokesman for the NC Police Benevolent Association, Officer Kevin Smith went by town hall to pick up a check he said is owed to him by the town. Smith was told by the clerk it was a "direct order from the mayor" to not release the check. The mayor allegedly directed his cousin, who is a council member, to not release the check.
WECT.com reached out to Mayor Willis on Wednesday about the accusations. Willis said he never told anyone in the town to not issue the check to Smith. He said the town administrator is handling the payment of checks.
Willis also forwarded an email to WECT on Thursday. The original email is from Claudia Bray, who is the town's administrator and is titled "Kevin's Vacation Pay."
The email said the check has been cut for Smith but has yet to be signed. It also said, "Based on the outcome to today's court date, advise me on how to move forward with vacation pay."
Willis responded to the email and said, "I don't sign checks……. Nor did I instruct anyone not to sign that one………maybe, the Councilmen who do sign checks will do so now. If requested."
No other email thread was forwarded to WECT.com.
Officer Smith went to small claims court Tuesday to fight the town from taking his pet. The town gave the police department a K-9 unit several years ago under the stipulation Smith was the only handler and the full owner of the dog.
Smith arrested Navassa Town Mayor Eulis Willis for DWI in July 2011. He resigned from the department about a year later after the mayor allegedly made comments to indicate he was after Smith's job.
When Smith left, he asked to be compensated for his overtime work and accrued vacation time and took Luci with him. Town leaders were refusing to reimburse Smith until Luci was returned. A judge said Tuesday Smith can keep the K-9.
Willis was not aware that Smith went to the Town of Navassa Wednesday to pick up a check for a little more than $1,000 in overtime pay and compensation for 48 days of accrued vacation time.
The issue will be addressed during a meeting Thursday, according to the NC Police Benevolent Association.
The town's attorney Norwood Blanchard told WECT.com that the town never tried to withhold Smith's paycheck, but according to a letter sent to Smith from town administrator it said they would withhold any money until Luci was returned.

Remember Me
DELPHOS — City Council addressed a light legislative agenda in regular session of their first October meeting Monday evening.Council was addressed by Tom Mazur, executive director of the Lima / Allen County Regional Planning Association, and by Kathy Luhn on behalf of the Allen County Public Health Commissioners, in support of a resolution endorsing the creation of an Allen County Bike and Pedestrian Task Force charged with upgrading Allen County bike and pedestrian venues and improving the safety of the same.
Mazur commented that Allen County ranked very high in Ohio for serious accidents involving motor vehicles with bikers and pedestrians for urbanized area with population less than 50,000, just behind the Findlay area with the No. 1 ranking in the state. Mazur indicated a need for policy change, education, and enforcement to begin to change this statistic. Luhn spoke of the need to enhance bike and pedestrian pathways and usage as a means to improve the overall health condition of county residents and reduce chronic health conditions. The proposed task force would draw upon a wide membership base, and ultimately act to attempt to secure bike/pedestrian project funding from state and federal sources. Council responded with approval of a resolution endorsing the creation of the task force, an action that is at no cost to the city at this time. In other action, Mayor Gallmeier suggested and received approval for the re-appointment of Eric Kerner as a representative to the Allen County Board of health, a 5-year term. Safety Service Director Greg Berquist stated that various city departments are instructed to have their budget proposals for 2013 to him by Monday. Council has tentatively schedule an initial review of the 2013 budget by the finance committee on Oct. 15, same date as the next council meeting. The intention is to have the budget approved before the end of the year. Council also agreed to assist the administration in the annual "coat drive," to be held this year at the Canal Street City Building from 9 a.m. to noon on Oct. 27.Gallmeier indicated that trick or treat in Delphos would be held from 6-7:30 p.m. on Oct. 25.Councilman Hanser questioned Berquist regarding any action to potential re-roofing of the Waterworks Park Shelter House in conjunction with assistance provided by a Vantage carpentry class. Berquist indicated that this plan did not work out and bids for the project would be requested in the future. Berquist also indicated that no further action had occurred regarding the potential placement of a water line to service south Cass Street residents within an easement aside of the railroad tracks adjacent to Bunge NA, citing the need to move a filing for this action from Allen County to Van Wert County

Like a bull in a china shop, Terrapin's Side Project 16 unleashes its brash and boastful taste on the palate with a flood of malt flavor, a pang of hop bitterness and the woodsy rusticity from oak- As this trifecta of taste pummels the palate, it seems to do so with some love and care.
Pouring a dark and russet brown, its rusty and reddish hues dip and weave through its heavy haze. Building a dense sand-stained head above, its tightly woven froth is in it for the duration, trailing with concentric rings at each sip.
Deeply malty with toffee, toast, brown sugar and a hint of molasses and maple, its savory and sweeter tone is supported by bready underpinnings, seemingly of spice-cake or rum-cake. As notes of orange peels and sawdust waft about the nose, that fist sip is seeming more and more intimidating.
All that malty-sweet goodness of the nose is assured in taste. Those cake-like flavors are delicately laces with spice, toast and nuttiness to allows roasted chestnuts and French toast to come about. The middle balances with citrus tones of grapefruit, oranges and tangy verbena flavor. As the sweetness breaks apart slightly, its finish allows for a sharply resinous finish to dry the palate and bitter it up a bit. Lighter oaken echoes swirl about the palate as the malt further lifts and the hops latch onto the throat.
Full bodied and long to resist any fading, the bread and sweeter textures accompany the hops and oak deep into the finish. Its spicy alcohol bite and oaky powdery texture offers a slim sense of lightness even though its cake character continues in lighter capacity.
Reminding me of Stone's Oaked Arrogant Bastard Ale, the balance, power and controlled chaos is both impressive and scary- both for the brewer and for my own taste buds.

Dingy dark brown color, with a huge eggshell head. Great retention.
Aroma is pretty simple. Oak is obvious with a little underlying toasty brown malt. Not much to get excited about.
Flavor is basically a mirror of the aroma - heavy oak, with some nutty malt underneath. As I drink more, the oak becomes more pleasant and a little less overpowering. Flashes of raisin and some of the cinnamon-like character I get from beers with heavy oak additions and dark malt. Finishes bitter and somewhat dry.
Medium bodied, with soft carbonation that works well with the beer.
Not too much to say about this one. Seemingly a pretty bland base beer that's been oaked too heavily. Not terrible, but not something I'd pursue.

"Time traveling in at number 16 in our "Side Project" series of beers is "Phlux Capacitor." This wood aged bully is brewed to an unknown style from another dimension...We hope you enjoy our interpretation of this totally fictitious ale."
Poured from a 22 oz. bomber to a Terrapin Snifter. Served north of 58º Fahrenheit.
(Appearance) Pours a golden caramel cream head of a frothy fluffy consistency over a highly opaque medium brown body with burgundy highlights. Retention is slightly above average and lacing is light and streaked. Appearance isn't bad, although the head retention and lacing has room for improvement. 3.5
(Smell) Very potent notes of toasted oak, maple syrup, vanilla bean amongst a medium toasted caramel grain malt base, very heavy in body. Very tame hop profile by comparison, some moderate earthy bitterness and a touch of herbal and resinous hops to pair. Dark fruit notes are also notable- figs, plums and raisins make an appearance, but they are muddled by the oak character. The sweetness of this beer's high points was choking at first, but it mellows out in time. 3.25
(Taste) The malt base consists of a simple caramel grain malt note, overlying notes of dry oak, some mild maple sweetness, a pinch of vanilla. This is a graceful sipper of a beer, I don't often drink oak aged beers that have this much oak presence in it. It's about as potent as I could feasibly allow. The flavor is a testament to seasoned beer drinkers and fans of wood-profiled beers. I did not find it overly enjoyable, but still drinkable. There's a lot going on with the oak, and it far overshadows nearly everything else in this beer. As aforementioned, this beer, while big in flavor, grows on you, and I felt it far easier to enjoy once I got past the intensity of the oak notes. 3.5
(Mouthfeel) Texture is slick, smooth with a medium syrupy texture. Carbonation adds a touch of air to the mix to lighten up the viscosity of the beer without challenging the oak flavor. The body is medium for Strong Ales and medium+ overall. The finish is softly dry with a dragging white oak note. Alcohol presence is medium/high, perhaps amplified by Oak Aging, or the simplicity and submissiveness of the specialty malt build. The mouthfeel is one of the finer parts of this beer, or at least one of the lesser challenged components. 3.75
(Overall) Terrapin belts out the oak in this release, perhaps a bit too much so for the casual drinker, I'd recommend this only for those who appreciate Terrapin's specialty releases and certainly not for those who keep strictly to the drinkable Rye Pale Ale or Golden Ale. What I appreciated by this beer was the tame specialty malt bill and the overall cleanliness aside from the oak bill. It kept this beer approachable and enjoyable, rather than overly sweet. If you think you can handle wood-laden beers, this one will give you a run for your money. 3.5

Bottled: earlier
It's dark tea colored with a fine coat of light caramel foam. Smells of oak, toffee, nougat, cola, vanilla and some dark turbinado sugars. Flavor is smooth and sweet with a cloying sugary-ness; toss in some vanilla, nougat, roasted malts, some raisin. Medium bodied with low carb and a dry finish. A treat to try, but not something I'd seek again.

Hot List
100 Years After WWI: The Poll Diaries - Franz Ferdinand, the band, has shaken up some summer music festivals in recent times, but 100 years ago in the summer of 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand's assassination shook up the world. In Chris Kraus's 2010 drama film The Poll Diaries, young Oda (Paula Beer) rejoins her aristocratic German family in Estonia. Throw in an Estonian anarchist and a society on the brink of World War I and you'll find there isn't too much hope for love. The Poll Diaries is the first film in the Goethe-Institut's weekly WWI film series and is an apt film to spearhead the selection of poignant, beautifully melancholy wartime movies. 6:30pm, $5. Goethe-Institut San Francisco, 530 Bush, SF. (415) 263-8760, www.goethe.de
Murder City Devils -- Combining elements of garage rock and punk with dark organ lines and caterwauling vocals, Seattle rockers The Murder City Devils were a musical powder keg from 1996 to 2001, just waiting to be lit by a live audience. After a five-year break up, the band has sporadically reunited for concerts here and there, but hadn't put out a new record until this month, dropping The White Ghost Has Blood On Its Hands, its first album release in 13 years. Fans can look forward to hearing the new material, along with old favorites, when Spencer Moody and cohorts hit the stage in what always promises to be a gloriously unpredictable and incendiary performance. 8pm, $22. Great American Music Hall, 859 O'Farrell, SF. (415) 885-0750 www.slimspresents.com
Lee 'Scratch' Perry - The God of Dub may be pushing 80, but his live shows and constantly evolving studio production are not slowing down. Lee "Scratch" Perry, who helped to transform reggae into an aurally and technologically complex genre while virtually inventing "the remix," released a new album, Back at the Controls, earlier this year. The work was a true group effort, both because it was a collaboration with Rolling Lion Studios' producer Daniel Boyle as well as the fact that it benefited from a thriving Kickstarter campaign. To complement his new record, Perry embarked on an ongoing world tour, which hopped over to Europe for a three-month stint starting in March. Now back in the States, Perry looks to continue dazzling audiences with his idiosyncratic fashion, pulsating beats, and exhilarating reworkings of timeless classics from every kind of music. 79pm, $25. Independent, 628 Divisadero, SF. (415) 771-1421 www.theindependentsf.com
My Drunk Kitchen with Hannah Hart - How many YouTubers have baked brownies with Mary-Louise Parker (of Weeds fame) while drunk? Hannah Hart, the mastermind behind the "My Drunk Kitchen" YouTube channel, has come a long way since her first video, in which she set out to make grilled cheese — getting by with a little help from her friend, wine — and realized mid-video that she didn't have any cheese in the house. She appears this evening to promote her new cookbook, which is chock-full of tasty recipes (ones she made up while writing and hasn't tasted) and spontaneous fun. And hey, she has drunk Jamie Oliver's stamp of approval, so what more could you ask for? 7pm, free. Books Inc. 601 Van Ness, SF. (415) 776-1111, www.booksinc.net
Name Drop Swamp Records + Quiet Lightning - This new collaboration between independent SF record label Name Drop Swamp Records (Fox & Woman, Split Screens) and the long-running lit and spoken word series Quiet Lightning brings together live music, poetry, and performance for an evening that's sure to draw a crowd full of all kinds of artists — in addition to those being featured on stage. Featured performer Luz Elena Mendoza of Y La Bamba is someone you won't get to see in a small room for too much longer, thanks to her unique, rich vocals and skilled storytelling through song. The door is sliding scale and the aim is for this evening to be the first in a bimonthly series at the Emerald Tablet (sorry, "Em Tab,") so get in before it blows up. 5 - 9pm, $10-20; no one turned away for lack of funds. The Emerald Tablet, 80 Fresno, SF. (415) 500-2323, www.emtab.org
Built to Spill - Boise's Built To Spill has been churning out heartbreakingly lovely indie rock songs for over 20 years. Doug Martsch, formerly of Treepeople, formed the group in 1992. Since then, the band has gone through a whirlwind of lineup changes with Martsch as the only constant, but have managed to create seven equally beautiful, reverb-heavy studio albums. Martsch's music has been cited as a major inspiration by such indie rock royalty as Isaac Brock of Modest Mouse and Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie. Though it's been five years since they've released an album, Built To Spill's live show hasn't declined a bit. This three-night run at Slim's is a very special event, and certainly not to be missed. With Slam Dunk, The Warm Hair. 8pm, $28, Slim's 333, 11th St, SF. (415) 255-0333, www.slimspresents.com
Men Without Hats If you don't know the band, you know "The Safety Dance," and if you think you don't know "The Safety Dance," you'd know it if you heard it. Practically synonymous with '80s music, the Canadian New Wave band's 1983 hit is as ubiquitous as a party-starter as it is as a meme and an artifact from their weird, coldly distant decade. But while Ivan Doroschuk and his crew could have just sat back and enjoyed their shiny new houses throughout the '80s, the band has soldiered on with a stream of albums that have been largely absent from record collections in the States but still fly off the shelves in their home country. If you count yourselves among these loyal American fans, leave your friends behind and come see them at the DNA Lounge. T8:30pm, $15 DNA Lounge 375 Eleventh St., SF (415) 626-1409 www.dnalounge.com

Backyard home theaters come with a big wow factor. Imagine warm summer nights, friends on the patio, and a large projection screen showing a new Blu-ray release. That's the kind of scenario that will make you the envy of the neighborhood.
But outdoor theaters are tricky things to pull off, and one of the trickiest parts is locating and installing a projection screen. This week Vutec showed of a clever solution in the form of a retractable awing screen. The product combines a sturdy motorized patio awning with a built-in motorized screen. During the day the awning can protect you from the sun or be folded away to let the sun shine on your deck. At night, launch the awning and lower the built-in Vu-Flex Pro screen then turn on your projector.
The awnings can be built in sizes up to 23 feet wide with screens up to 123 inches (diagonal). The awning frame is constructed of sturdy aluminum with a durable powder coat finish. A variety of fabric colors are available for the awning. The screen can be configured for either front or rear projection.
So where do you put the projector? That depends on you and your installer. A quick fix for occasional viewing would be to use something like a portable Epson Movie Mate that includes a built-in DVD player and speakers. For a more professional installation, the projector could be built into a soffit under the awning or shoot through the patio door.

When Kaywin Feldman moved here to take a job as the director of the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, she knew it would be difficult to replace her home in Memphis. Designed by a student of famed architect Louis Kahn, it was a 1950s-built midcentury modern that she and her husband, Jim Lutz, an architecture professor, had worked to restore and improve over nine years.
After looking at nearly 30 homes, Ms. Feldman finally found another modern house with a boxy exterior and glass walls. But this one had a different provenance. Constructed five years ago in a Wisconsin factory and installed in a few weeks on-site, it was a "weeHouse," one of a series of prefabricated homes designed by local architects Geoffrey Warner and Scott Ervin of Alchemy Architects.
At 2,900 square feet, the four-bedroom, three-bathroom house is one of the largest of the series--the couple jokingly refer to it as their "not so wee house." Located in the Linden Hills neighborhood, which is lined with more-traditional early 20th-century homes, the house is made up of four glass-and-cedar modular units stacked just slightly off-center, with small cantilevers, topped by a flat roof.
The couple say they like the low upkeep of the weeHouse compared with their architecturally significant fixer-upper in Memphis. They're also enjoying more privacy these days:
For the glass wall overlooking the street, Ms. Lutz insisted on installing window coverings, strung on simple hospital-track metal fixtures, for privacy. At their previous home, which overlooked a city park, "I would sometimes have someone come up to me and say, 'Oh, I saw you getting a book off the shelf,' " she recalled. "I said, 'When we move here, I want drapes and I want them now.' "

Residents of Biscayne Park, who already have the highest tax rate in Miami-Dade County, may be dealing with a tax increase. Village commissioners have voted 3-2 to advertise a tentative tax rate of $9.90 per $1,000 in taxable real estate value.
The current tax rate is $9.50. The state limit is $10.
The owner of a $150,000 home would pay about $1,015 in village tax. That's a $65 increase, and assumes the owner qualifies for the standard $50,000 homestead exemption, and that the home's taxable value increased by 1.7 percent, the maximum allowed this year for an owner-occupied home.
Vice Mayor Bob Anderson, and Commissioners Barbara Watts and Roxanna Ross voted for the tax rate at the July 23 commission meeting. Mayor Noah Jacobs and Commissioner Bryan Cooper dissented.
"The village needs to become more fiscally responsible. We're eventually going to run out of money because we're nearing the cap," Cooper said, adding that raising the tax rate would not address other problems. "There has never been the political will to effectively manage the budget. I cannot support tax increases without seeing a clearly developed plan."
According to Ross, although a tentative budget was presented, there were several issues that were not included for example, infrastructure items, repairs on existing vehicles or acquiring new vehicles, and repairs to the log cabin.
"We need to start making plans for these things," said Ross. "We also received audited financial statements for 2012 that showed a loss of reserve funds. We need to be able to set aside moneys for the reserve fund."
Commissioners will discuss the budget at workshops at 7 p.m. Aug. 12 and at 6:30 p.m. Aug. 13. Public hearings will be held at 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 11 and Sept. 24. All meetings will be held at the Ed Burke Recreation Center, 11400 NE Ninth Court.
The final tax rate will be set at the Sept. 24 hearing. The new budget year starts Oct. 1.
