2.05/5 rDev -31.4%
Pours a clean yellow color with a white head. In the aroma, faint nose, more lager tones than ale. In the taste, a bit sweet, and still lager like, not so much ale like. A small bite and a lighter bodied mouthfeel, with a small dryness of a standard lager. More a lager that ale, however fresh nonetheless.

Presentation: 12oz brown twist-off bottle. No freshness date.
Appearance: Bright, clear, light gold beer with a pure white creamy foam head.
Smell: Not too much in the aroma. Faint grain, faint herbal hops.
Taste: Smooth, crisp, refreshing. Malt sweetness is thin. Loads of dry grain/husk tannin falvours and feel. There's a light hop bitterness -- slight lemon-like twang, salt -- that flashes the palate. Light fruity esters. Finish is grainy, dry.
Notes: The Ballantine XXX Ale of Canada? Not too bad if you're looking for a quick beer to suck down and quench your thirst.

12 oz can, the pale dusty golden colour shows its clarity off and a thin crown of white lace. Clean aroma with a thin sweet malt and faint alcohol. Pretty damn smooth when poured into a glass yet still retains its crispness. A touch of malt comes to the palate with a faded but drawn out hop bitterness and spicy flavour that mingles with a semi harsh graininess.
At $8.99 a 12-pack I'll pass as there is far better to come from a can a cheaper at that.

Appearance - Nothing special here, average head on my pint glass.
Smell - Nothing over the top, simple with a slight malty aroma.
Taste - Has a fairly strong malty flavor to it, with a slight bitter finish.
Mouth feel - Refreshing!
Drinkability - I grew up on Labatt's 50 and find that it is one of my "go to" beers. Although it is imported, I consider it a glorified domestic, ranking higher than the macro's of the U.S. The taste is consistently very good, and has yet to let me down!

First off appearance is much like most of the other macro lagers out there pale straw colored golden hue with a bright white head retention is actually decent and carbonation doesn't seem over done with fizziness. Oh yeah and lacing is actually there evenly with each sip fine even and intricate on my chalice. Aroma contains an actual mild citrus and herbal toned hop profile with a minimal amount of cereal sweetness and mild perfume like accents. Flavor wise some residual honey like sweetness after the crisp light malt grain and adjuncts clear. Mineral water with a trace of citric and herbal hop kick just peaking through in the finish. Mouthfeel is light bodied carbonation does tickle the back of the throat but overall quite unremarkable. Drinkability is mediocre this is definitely a macro brew, that I can do without.

Decent sized white head slowly settles into a nice lacing above a clear golden colored beer.
Sour grain malt aroma.
Same sour grain malt taste as in the aroma but not overbearing makes this a easy drinking beer with just that touch of sourness.
A light dry aftertaste with just a little bit of the tastes remaining behind with this light bodied beer.
Seems like another standard light drink.

My 341ml bottle says Labatt 50, with 'Canadian Ale' in very small print. Enjoyed before a Fringe show at the Black Dog, put on by a friend of mine - break a leg, Zyp!
This beer pours a clear, medium golden yellow colour, with two fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and soapy off-white head, which leaves some spotty streaks of lazy cloud lace around the glass as it quickly dissipates.
It smells of semi-sweet grainy malt, dry honey, warm corn cereal, a twinge of sour yeast, and weedy, somewhat floral hops. The taste is sweet corn, subdued barley grain, a hint of stale bready caramel, mild and indistinct citrus and apple fruity notes, and more low-key floral, weedy hops.
The carbonation is moderate, just a soft trilling edginess throughout, the body a day late and a dollar short of true medium weight, a bit oily, and somewhat clingy in its punch-clock smoothness. It finishes off-dry, the breakfast corn cereal showing off its resiliency, amongst the equally dogged floral, weedy hops.
Another ale from the big boys that blurs the line between lager and ale (Kim Mitchell should look into this!). I drank most of this before being distracted by watching an (entertaining) amateur play, so it turned out to be sufficient for the lull, but now onto something more modern and appropriate for the venue - oh, right, Big Rock.

1.33/5 rDev -55.5%
AP: A clear yellow/gold color, good carbonation creates a thin 1/8" all-white head that dissipates very quickly with barely a cap.
Nose: Macro lager all the way...a rusty-metal, sour yeast, weak malt with veggie green hop; but just barely.
flavor: yikes! The metallic bitterness hits hard right off, it's as if someone crushed up tylenol in this poor beer. There is a very thin malt flavor with a bit of sour yeastie tang and wheat. Any decent flavors are destroyed by the metallic, bitterness that just made me cringe.
Feel: light and thin but crisp.
DA: could not finish.

Probably 30 years since may last "fitty". Not sure if it was the nostalgia or the ale but I enjoyed it on tap at the Sheraton Toronto. Wish it were more available as an option when compelled to drink a mass produced product or chlorinated tap water.

A - Poured out a hazy straw color with a decent but fleeting head that gave to some lacing.
S - Grains with some cooked cereals.
T - Grain flavor dominates with some faint hop bitterness in the finish.
M - Watery with good carbonation.
O - Disappointing since I can recall this beer being much more heavily hopped many years ago. I wouldn't turn one down, but I don't see myself buying this again as there are better choices in this class for the same money.

I used to drink this quite a bit once I reached legal drinking age and I began experimenting with different biers. I could pick this up for the same price as domestic macros, so I used it as a fall back.
Golden appearance, some hops on the nose, not much else.
Not all bad in the taste department. A little hop bitterness right away. Not alot of backbone as far a malt goes, but enough to keep things going. Mass-produced tasting...but not horrible. Kicks the snot out of most domestic macros.
I realized that I can't find this in the area anymore. Doesn't really concern me, since I wouldn't drink much of it now anyway.
I guess it is sort of a bier without a niche. Too much juice for the swiller, and not enough for those who know better.
But if you don't want to invest the cash in a superior brew, and are just looking to tie one on without much thought...here's one for you.

Labatt Canadian Ale is, indeed, an ale. It was launched as "Labatt 50" in 1950, and was Canadas best-selling beer until 1979! It pours a deep golden color, and raises a finger-thick head of creamy white froth. The head retention is slightly better than average, and it leaves some nice lace about the glass. The nose is mainly malty, basic and sweetish, and there's a light touch of fruity yeastiness. It's medium bodied and gently crisp across the palate. The flavor offers a very well balanced combination of gently sweet malt, a mild yeasty fruitiness, and some leafy and mildly grassy hops. It's still a basic golden ale, but there's more to it than most golden lagers offer. It finishes dry with a drop of sweet maltiness that fades quickly, leaving behind a refreshing bitterness and some dull, lingering hops. An interesting and refreshing golden ale!

Had a bottle with dinner at The Ark in Point Pleasant, NJ.
Now this isn't a bad beer, but there's little resemblance to a typical APA. It's more of what I'd call a macro ale, as it reminds me a great deal of a macro lager. The taste is slight and sweet and the carbonation is a bit sharp. The flavor isn't bad when you pick it apart - husky grain and white bread with a sweet green apple note. There's even a hint of hops for balance, but this is closer to a blonde ale, than anything else I can think of in the ale category. On par with Genesee Cream Ale.

Not a bad beer, all in all. I did not consider this an ale, but a beer of some sort. It has some grain to its taste, and just a hint of hops. This is proably as good as it gets from Labatt's.

Notes from dismal selection at Phoenix Concert Theatre while attending the Stephen Malkmus concert.
Poured into a clear plastic cup a clear bubbly golden with thin bubble head. Nose was malty, grain. Taste was surprisingly crisp and decent, pale malts and more grain/grass but mixed together well. Mouthfeel was thin and watery.
Overall, a surprise macro that works well in dire situations, when theres no other choice at shows.

Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a Sam Adams pint glass. Smells very sweet and creamy. No hop scent.
No head, no lacing. It's also quite cold. Definitely very sweet, a bit of hops on the end. Definitely some bitterness in there to counteract the sweetness. Seems like lager, but has that ale taste.
Nothing special on the mouthfeel, maybe a bit sticky.
I think this beer is definitely an above average macrobrew. It's cheap, has no really bad qualities and is drinkable. I might keep this around the house.

one finger white pillowy head with little retention or lacing, straw yellow and relatively clear.
floral hops, biscuit, some skunk, light fruit
Taste follows the nose with corn and light fruit (pear)
Light body, some carbonation, slight bitterness, refreshing and balanced.
A tasty macro worth sucking back in a pinch.

Bottle: Poured a golden color ale with almost no head. Aroma is very weak, almost non-existent. Taste is a mix between some sweet malt and light bitterness. Better then most crap that Labatt produce but this is still macro beer without taste. Im not even sure this one should qualify as American Pale Ale.

With all of the praise and approbation which BC: Rearmed is receiving, it's possible to forget that a full 3D remake is also on the way. It's not a game we've seen a lot of so far, but from the looks of this, that's not because it needs hiding.

A jail credit of $2,184 will be applied to any outstanding balances and then will apply to the new fine.
Smith was arrested July 4, 2012, in Lac du Flambeau after he was initially stopped by law enforcement for driving 45 mph in a 25-mph zone. According to court documents, his preliminary breath test was 0.260%.
Clint M. Allen, 33, of Lac du Flambeau, charged with battery/domestic abuse and disorderly conduct/domestic abuse, both as a repeater, Nov. 1, 2012, had an initial appearance adjourned to Jan. 28 at 10 a.m.
Kami L. Beighley, 22, of Lac du Flambeau, had a charge of physical abuse of a child with intent to cause bodily harm amended to child neglect, a Class A misdemeanor. She pleaded no contest to the amended charge and was found guilty.

Mann, 20, of Lac du Flambeau, charged with physical abuse of a child-intently causing bodily harm, and disorderly conduct, Sept., 9, 2012, had an initial appearance adjourned to Jan. 28 at 10 a.m. The defendant also missed an adjourned initial appearance last Jan. 7 because she said she thought she wasn't being charged. Mann was to appear for an initial appearance Oct. 1, 2012, but she missed that court date and a $2,500 cash warrant was issued. She paid that Dec. 21.
According to the complaint, Mann went to another person's residence to pick up her infant child and the person refused to give her the child because she was allegedly intoxicated. Mann allegedly struck the victim with a closed fist in the forehead.
Spencer A. Smith, 17, of Lac du Flambeau, charged with hit-and-run injury, reckless driving causing injury and operating without a license Dec. 1, 2012, had a preliminary hearing set for Feb. 13 at 2 p.m. He was released on a $1,000 signature bond with the conditions that he does not possess or consume intoxicants and he does not drive.
According to the complaint, Smith was driving a vehicle that allegedly struck a power box and then left the scene without reporting the accident. The accident caused a power outage in the area and a witness reported the accident to authorities.

Billie J. Frank, 35, of Lac du Flambeau, charged with substantial battery Oct. 12, 2012, saw his case dismissed without prejudice. District Attorney Albert Moustakis told the court that he moved to dismiss the case due to uncooperativeness from the victim.

Negani, 20, of Lac du Flambeau, charged with burglary of a building or dwelling and misdemeanor theft, had a preliminary hearing set for Jan. 29 at 10 a.m. Negani allegedly took a television, PlayStation and some games from an apartment at 379 Tomahawk Circle in Lac du Flambeau Jan. 10, 2012.

Leatherhead Football Club wall collapse under investigation
Updated 2:14pm Tuesday 29th January 2013 in Sport By Alice Foster, Reporter
A safety investigation has been launched after a wall collapsed at a football club on Saturday as fans celebrated a goal.
The referee abandoned the game at Leatherhead Football Club between Leatherhead and Dulwich Hamlet in the 78th minute after the waist-high, breeze block wall gave way.
Half a dozen supporters ended up on the ground surrounded by the remains of the wall but none were hurt.
The club issued a statement yesterday announcing they were offering assistance to a Ryman League investigation into the 'extraordinary scenes' at the match.
Peter Ashdown, chairman of Leatherhead FC, said: "We are pleased to report that nobody was injured when a section of the wall in front of the terracing collapsed whilst Dulwich Hamlet supporters were celebrating their second goal.
"We shall of course keep supporters informed of any league decision as a result of their investigation, and if the game is to be replayed."
A spokesman at Leatherhead FC said they were also waiting for advice from health and safety officers from Mole Valley council who visited the site on Monday.
He said: "We have closed that section of the ground and we are dealing with it. We won't be able to use that section of the ground for the next game until we repair it."
He said the collapse happened as a Dulwich Hamlet player approached the fans who had been told not to jump on the wall.
He said: "It was not their fault; it was no one's fault. We are just relieved no one was hurt."
The score was 2-0 to Dulwich Hamlet at the time of the collapse.
The matter is expected to be discussed at the monthly Ryman League Board meeting on January 31.

this was an awersome book
The characters were flat, the premise was silly, and there were several holes in the story, but what ultimately finished me is this line from the MC when she's being chased by the bad guy:
'If she were a boy, maybe she'd have a rifle or at least a machete hidden away in her closet.'
WTH? About ten pages from the end I came to a screeching halt because of that line. Seriously? Do boys hide machetes in their closets?
oh no no no!

I am really new in Nfc techology, and I want to made my grad thesis in nfc.
I think a project like this;
First we are goint choose one objcet for example one shirt,Second,We will place chip or smartag but our choice is chip if we can find,then
As you can know,When the user of the phone closes up phone towards the chip or tag,he can receive infos about product,price,where to produce ex....
Finally asking the user whether to buy or not if he buys it the money decreases from his account.
Here is the question
**Which tools(developer kit, phone, chips) do we need to achieve the project and how are we going to find them?**
thanks for anyone who interested

Back in the day you could easily throw up a 1 page site, target a single keyword, build links and pull in money. That just doesn't work anymore. Google wants more.
If you're going to give Google what Google wants, so you can get organic traffic from them you're going to have to have a plan before you start any website project. It doesn't matter if you're creating a site for affiliate marketing, or social media marketing, or even a site to create leads for your network marketing business… you're going to need a plan.
I must say… the planning stage of any website is my absolute FAVORITE part. Here's how how I handle planning a website project.

So for most white-collar workers working in companies whose IT staff is able to deal with sourcing and supporting two platforms and handling the fairly minimal integration between Mac OS and Windows, the Mac can be brought in as-is.
But the more controlling and/or farflung an organization is, the harder it is to support Macs. Standard asset management tools don't have good Mac clients, for example. Remote management of a Mac beyond what an Exchange policy can enforce also becomes tricky, due to the lack of good Mac client management support in Windows Server or in tools such as HP OpenView, IBM Tivoli, LANdesk, and CA's management suites.
The departmental focus of Mac OS X Server also doesn't lend itself to central management across multiple office locations, and the need to bring in a Mac to an Apple Store or authorized repair shop also becomes problematic outside of major cities or when there is no local IT staff.
And the Mac's lack of presence outside basic applications also becomes an issue. (Apple maintains a list of business Mac apps that's worth perusing to see if your apps have Mac versions.) Although some specialty apps, such as IBM SPSS's analytics software, have Mac versions, most don't -- or they have only limited-functionality versions. Office 2008 for Mac is a great example: Not only does it not support Visual Basic, but its Exchange client, Entourage, doesn't support away notices or allow users to see which addresses are contained in an Exchange-hosted group address. These partially capable clients make it impossible to assure everyone has the same capabilities, and thus creates exceptions that IT has to manage.
Thus, the more applications your organization uses, the more of a headache these Mac software issues create. That's why in large companies, the Macs tend to be clustered in specific departments, such as marketing, where they can be managed locally and for which the specialty software the users need is available for Mac OS.
iPhones faces the same scale ceiling
The situation for the iPhone is no different: If remote management, compliance adherence, and large-scale management are necessary, you're out of luck. There are no native Lotus Notes or Novell GroupWise clients for the iPhone, just limited-capability Webmail access. The iPhone's Exchange policy support is much better than what Google Android or Palm WebOS provide, but nowhere near the level of BES (BlackBerry Enterprise Server) or what Windows Server can do with Windows Mobile.
You can distribute configuration profiles to iPhones via email or Web sites that contain Exchange ActiveSync policies and VPN settings, but you can't monitor whether users have installed them or track what version they have -- something many public companies must do to meet various compliance requirements. Having a local IT person hook up each iPhone to a USB connector and view its settings in Apple's iPhone Configuration Utility is not a workable option in large businesses, where their scale requires automated management.

You can see brown fabric through the white "C". Looks like it is already starting to wear out even though it's brand new.
My husband doesn't drop many hints for Christmas, but when I saw this T, I knew I couldn't go wrong. He's a loyal DD drinker, and isn't afraid to show it!

I got two hours of sleep last night (I fell asleep at 1; the kid woke up at 3) and my ambitious work plans for today have crumpled into a pile of exhaustion that a few gallons of coffee have not re-integrated. I can't even mix my metaphors correctly.
Anyway, here is what is on the agenda for this week.
***Integrated Top 120 Prospects List. Right now I have this list locked in pretty well through about spot 30 and am still plugging away. There will be an AQA discussion once the list is done.
***Draft sleepers (yeah I keep promising this, but other things keep coming up)
***Matt is working on more draft reports. Florida high school outfielder William Abreu is next on the list and will be posted tomorrow morning.
***Daily discussions of course
***Prospect Retro list: Marlon Byrd, Brandon Moss, George Brett, Mike Schmidt, Jason Schmidt, Tom Glavine, Ken Griffey Jr., John Lackey, Randy Johnson, Chase Utley, and Vida Blue are on the list. I want to get all of these done as quickly as possible so I can shift gears into the regular season. I may do others for topical reasons, but I haven't forgotten these guys.
***Kevin Gausman vs. Kyle Zimmer Smackdown
***I will harass you to buy more Baseball Prospect Books.

A new blog about climbing in the southeast. Www.climbsoutheast.com I hope you enjoy!
Nice one Rob, followed. Seriously psyched to be moving to NC from the UK in the new year!
Oh wow, big move coming up! Well I'm happy to have you following and make sure you stay in touch. The climbing here is wonderful! Where are you moving to?
Man, NCRob83 I could use some beta on that crag, I don't suppose I could tempt you into sharing? If you'd rather pm me or have me pm you thats cool, we just need to get out of Crowders.
new posting up about a great less travled NC sport line!
Awesome blog by a great dude. Good luck on the theatre Rob.
Sounds like you need some tips for sport climbing in the cold.....
I'm a creature of comfort :-)
New posting about leaping lizards at rumbling bald
Blake, yes I have climbed hanging chain wall. Spry look is about as good as face climbing gets. I would love to get back out there sometime soon. Email me Blake and lets link up sometime out there. firstname.lastname@example.com
Yeah my first time ever on that route was with you Ryan. That was such a fun trip! Hey Ryan shoot me an email when you have time man I have a few questions and you would be the man with the answers!
Seems like there are a lot of good hard routes up there. Looks like there are quite a few mythical unrepeated/seldom repeated Reed routes huh? I'm in Chattanooga, but would love to head that way one cold cold weekend.
Blake, feel free to comedown here and climb anytime. The climbing is amazing. Maybe I can make my way up there and climb the t wall with you before the season is gone for the year.
New blog posting about frustration and rock climbing!
New post looking for pictures! www.climbsoutheast.com/?p=426
hey check out my post about posting a post because i'm bored. Rob really? T P.S Im bored trying to stay awake in class
A new must read blog posting about the deep dark life I lead
"Anybody who knows the T Wall knows Suck Creek Road for its fast driving, strange locals, and kids that play on roofs near the street?" Yeehaw. MC always says that it ain't a trip to the TWall if all four tires don't come off the ground. Also, as an FYI, I believe Eddie's woman's name is spelled "Chloe" and that shed with the truck on top is on Mullens Cove Road. Otherwise, good post.....and interesting blog.
If you give me a few days I'll send you a sick picture from LCC to go along w/ the one of you on Trinity Cracks. Have you seen Fallen Arches? Has to be the best crack I've ever been on (even though I couldn't do all the moves). PS just bought an Edelrid rope ;-)

DOC wrote:Just looking again for peoples thoughts and opinions.
I have just received planning permission for a client from a local authority and from An Bord Pleanala (after third party appeal) for a sizeable house extension which involves the provision of an entirely new roof structure and roof finishes to the existing house (and obviously the new extension). The house is detatched.
The roof tiles to the existing house are pretty standard suburban Dublin profiled Marley roof tiles (the ones you see almost on every suburban house from the 1950's onwards).
On the planning drawings, for the proposed extension and new roof to the existing house, I have clearly specified that all new roof tiles are to be plain coloured concrete 'mini' tiles (i.e. small flat roof tiles with no profile), as per the clients wishes from the outset.
In local authorities decision, the following condition was stated:
That all external finishes harmonise in colour and texture with the existing premises.
In An Bord Pleanala's decisions, the condition is elaborated a little further, stating:
The external finishes of the proposed extension including roof tiles/slates shall
match those of the existing dwelling in respect of colour and texture.
In one way, it's all a bit ambiguous. In other ways it not.
My client sees no issue or ambiguity whatsoever and is forging ahead with the 'mini' roof tiles, because they are concrete, they match the texture of the existing roof tiles and the colour will also roughly match the existing.
I am probably reading a little more into the ambiguity of the condition than the client or I am worrying about nothing? Any opinions appreciated.
onq wrote:This doesn't rest with your client at all Doc.
It rests with you and the liability you are willing to take on with this small job - on behalf of your client - when you eventually issue your Opinion of Compliance with Planning Permission.
"Your mission Jim, should you choose to accept it..." is to make sure your client realises that he is obliged to carry out some form of due diligence - or you are, in his behalf - to resolve this.
This matter cannot be left hanging to suit your client, leaving your office in an impossible position when it comes around to certification.
onq wrote:Having thought a little about this, and quite apart from the three ways describe above, there is a fourth route - it does however involve a little bit of semantics.
The Board Condition wording is as follows; -
The external finishes of the proposed extension including roof tiles/slates shall
match those of the existing dwelling in respect of colour and texture
There is a distance between saying "the existing roof tiles/slates" and saying "those of the existing dwelling".
For example. certain works are exempted development and renewal of slates/tiles is one of them AFAICR and please confirm that you didn't include re-reoofing the original dwelling in the permission.
onq wrote:Doc,
I thought you'd be a man for wonadem ODOS solutions or a Zinc roof or whatever.
What's all this Tile Trad stuff about anyway - thought I was the trad head here.
DOC wrote::D We can't all be starchitects!
Still battling with the ambiguity this morning.
My latest thoughts are that the ABP condition is a simple copy and paste job and the intention of the condition is standard for any extension, i.e. the roof finishes to the proposed extension should match the existing house. The fact they have stated 'tiles/slate' leads me to believe this is a standard condition. Have re-read the ABP inspectors report and nowhere within her consideration is materials and/or roof tiles mentioned.
Yes, in this case there is an extension but also there is a completely new roof to the existing house requiring new roof finishes as well.
henno wrote:TBH seeking a decision of compliance or not from an enforcement officer, or planner, to me is passing the buck onto a person less suitable to making this executive decision. Any doubt from the planning section, which is highly likely given my past experience with LAs, will result in detriment to your clients wishes, schedule and probably budget.

The City of Davenport is placing its bets on owning a casino. Aldermen voted to pursue buying Rhythm City Casino by allowing the Mayor to sign a purchase term sheet.
The term sheet allows the city to outline terms for a potential transaction. It also gives city leaders the ability to discuss the transaction, with the community, RDA, Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission, and potential developers. The term sheet does not commit the city to purchase the casino, it does not commit to a location and it does not allow bonds to bought or property taxes to be raised.
Before aldermen voted to pursue buying Rhythm City, several people spoke out about their thoughts on a city owned casino.
"I do not think it is a good decision for the city to get into the gaming business."
"It's basically immoral. The only reason a casino gambling operation is able to make money is because they know how to take advantage of human weakness."
"I stand in favor of this transaction. I think personally it's one of the best and smartest ventures the city can enter into in a long time."
The city administrator gave a presentation about how bonds will pay for the $46-million dollar price tag and that the bonds will be paid back from revenue from the casino. Davenport leaders are using a city owned casino in Dubuque, which is profitable, as an example. Most of the aldermen say they are pursuing purchasing Rhythm City, because it's so early in the process and they want to continue to explore the option. However, not everyone on council agrees.
"My ward meeting had the most constituents I've had at one meeting in 4 or 5 years. An overwhelming majority asked me not to do this. I represent them and that's a big thing I need to consider," says Alderman Mike Matson.
"I'm of the opinion that the status quo is unacceptable. I think we can manage our debt and I think we can pay the bonds back quicker than the 20-year time frame," adds Alderman Jeff Justin.
Thursday afternoon the city will give the RDA a presentation. Next week, the request for proposals from private developers will go out and negotiations will begin with the Isle of Capri. In November, work will begin on creating the non-profit that will run the casino, the city will under go a background check, and DCI review, and meet with the IRGC. In December, a developer will be selected. Tentatively in March and April, the IRGC will approve the sale, the bonds will be bought, the riverboat will be re-branded, and ground will be broken on a land based casino.

Riley Cooper of the Philadelphia Eagles admits he has no problems eating a dozen Krispy Kreme donuts.
FOX 29's Tom Sredenschek caught up with the Eagles wide receiver to talk about his appetite for donuts.
Cooper says there used to be a Krispy Kreme in Gainesville, Florida where he went to school. He says he'd drive by, stop in and get a dozen donuts for himself.
He admits he tries to watch what he eats, but for Cooper, it's hard to say no to Krispy Kreme.

Jack Abbott: From the Belly of the Beast
Abbott Defends Himself
After a parade of damaging prosecution witnesses, it was time for Abbott to defend himself. On the morning of January 14, 1982, he was called to the stand. Abbott was not a large man. He stood only five-foot-seven and had a thin, wiry build. Since he almost never smiled, the defendant had a hard, stern appearance, marked by chiseled facial features with a touch of Asian ancestry. His dark brown hair was slicked back and combed neatly. Wearing thin wire framed glasses, which gave the impression of a serious minded college student, Abbott sat uncomfortably in the witness chair. Guided by defense attorney Ivan Fisher, he recounted for the court the awful story of his luckless life from the time he was a child in Michigan. He told of years of foster homes and his inability to adjust. While he was still a teenager, Abbott said, he was incarcerated in a reform school where he was frequently placed in solitary confinement. Later, as an adult, Abbott said he was tortured with drugs and more during solitary confinement.
"They were out to get me!" he said of prison guards.
On the night of the killing, he admitted that he met the two women in a bar and later they agreed to eat something at the Binibon. He said they had been drinking but it did not affect his mood. "We put away quite a few but I don't get drunk so I felt fine," he told the court. He said that Adan was the one who was aggressive and whatever Abbott did, he simply reacted to perceived hostilities. "If I was alone," Abbott testified, "I would have walked out of it a long time ago." He said that Adan asked him to step outside. Abbott admitted carrying a knife from his apartment. He said that he was afraid of Manhattan streets and was armed only to defend himself.
Abbott said that Adan took him to a dark alley and appeared to pull out a weapon. "I was going to run," Abbott said to the court, "but then I thought 'You don't do that.'" According to Abbott's explanation, Adan tried to stab him and he only defended himself. Abbott told him not to come any closer but Adan approached in a threatening manner. "All of a sudden, the knife was in his chest and it was dead still," Abbott testified. He then returned to the restaurant, told the girls what happened and they all left the Binibon immediately.
"It was one of the most tragic misunderstandings I can imagine," Abbott explained to the court. Of course, Abbott's version was very different from that of other witnesses who testified it was Abbott who was the aggressor. During cross-examination, prosecutor James Fogel had the defendant repeat the story in detail and challenged him on his self-defense claim. When asked why he didn't retreat if Adan was threatening him, Abbot replied, "I couldn't back off!" As cross examination continued, Fogel read excerpts from In the Belly of the Beast to the jury. He wanted the jury to see what type of a man Abbott really was.
"You move your left foot to the side to step across his right side, body length. A light pivot toward him with your right shoulder and the world turns upside down. You have sunk the knife to its hilt. Into the middle of his chest Slowly he begins to struggle for his life... You can feel his life trembling through the knife in his hand."
When he finished reading the paragraph, Fogel turned to Abbott and asked, "Did you write that?" Abbott smirked and replied, "It's good isn't it?"

- Closer Feliz feels good after throwing session
- Rangers decide to keep Lowe at Triple-A
- Rangers Double-A prospect Beltre suspended
- Briefly
ARLINGTON -- The Rangers may have bullpen issues, but manager Ron Washington does not see Alexi Ogando as the answer. He made that abundantly clear before Wednesday's game with the Blue Jays."I'm not taking him out of the rotation," Washington said. Washington said that multiple times in the course of the discussion, especially when Tommy Hunter, Brandon Webb and Scott Feldman were brought up. All three are successful Major League pitchers who are on the disabled list but could be back by June 1 or earlier. They are working out in Arizona, and Washington isn't speculating on what will happen when they return. "I can't answer that question because they are on rehab and Ogando is pitching great," Washington said. "When they're ready, we'll make a decision, but I'm not taking [Ogando] out of the rotation. ... I'm not taking him out of the rotation if he continues to pitch like this. "I'm not going to rob Peter to pay Paul. Paul has to earn his pay. Ogando is Peter and those guys are Paul." Ogando was one of the Rangers' top relievers last season before joining the rotation this year. He is 3-0 with a 2.13 ERA after four starts and will be on the mound on Thursday against the Blue Jays. "I'm not sure what will happen, but we have to quit talking about Ogando," Washington said.
Closer Feliz feels good after throwing session
ARLINGTON -- All-Star Rangers closer Neftali Feliz, who is on the disabled list with inflammation in his right shoulder, threw for the first time on Wednesday since being sidelined. He threw 30 pitches from 90 feet while playing catch with pitching coach Mike Maddux."I feel better," Feliz said. "I feel strong. It doesn't bother me. I think I'm going to be ready to come back when I'm supposed to come off the disabled list." Feliz was placed on the disabled list retroactive to April 21 and is eligible to come off on May 6. That will be the first game of the next homestand against the Yankees. "I think five to six days off would have been OK," Feliz said. "But they decided to place me on the 15-day disabled list. It's a little extreme, but I understand." Darren Oliver is serving as the Rangers' primary closer during Feliz's absence.
General manager Jon Daniels is still predicting a short stay on the DL for Feliz.
"If he's not activated on the 16th day, it will be shortly after," Daniels said. "If anything, he is doing better than expected. He's got his range of motion back."
Rangers decide to keep Lowe at Triple-A
ARLINGTON -- The Rangers needed a reliever from Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday but decided veteran right-hander Mark Lowe was not the one. Lowe was sent to Triple-A nine days ago, and the Rangers want him to remain there."We haven't forgotten about Mark Lowe," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "But he's doing what we need him to do, get regular work. The way we're falling, he'll get his chance. But we haven't forgotten about him. We check on him every time he touches the ball." Lowe had a 13.50 ERA in four appearances with the Rangers before being sent down. He is 1-0 with a 5.40 ERA in three appearances with Round Rock. In five innings he has allowed six hits and four walks and has struck out seven.
Rangers Double-A prospect Beltre suspended
ARLINGTON -- Double-A Frisco outfielder Engel Beltre has been suspended indefinitely by the Texas League for his role in an altercation with fans after Tuesday's game in San Antonio.The suspension will likely be for 10 days. Beltre will be assigned to extended spring training in Arizona until the suspension is over. The altercation occurred moments after the Roughriders' 7-6 loss that saw manager Steve Buechele and pitching coach Jeff Andrews ejected from the game in the top of the ninth inning. San Antonio led, 7-5, with two outs in the ninth when a possible three-run home run by Roughriders designated hitter Mike Bianucci was overturned and changed to a ground-rule double. Instead of an 8-7 lead, the Roughriders ended up getting just one run and the next batter popped out to end the game. That's when the altercation broke out between Roughriders players and a group of unruly fans. Beltre allegedly threw a plastic trash can into the stands. Two fans were arrested and Beltre has been suspended. He is the only Roughriders player expected to be suspended, but the Rangers are still looking into the matter. "We are going to continue to look at it as far as the involvement of other people," Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said. "It's not something we're going to condone. It's something we take seriously. It was a black eye for all involved. We do not know everything that happened, but we're looking into it."
Manager Ron Washington said that Mike Napoli will be behind the plate on Thursday with Alexi Ogando on the mound for the Rangers. Brett Tomko threw five scoreless innings in relief for the Rangers on Tuesday. It's the longest outing by a Rangers reliever since Kameron Loe pitched five innings on Aug. 17, 2008, against Tampa Bay.

Tax Free Weekend Today-Sunday
Clothing and Footwear
Retailers are not required to collect state and local sales or use tax on most footwear and clothing that are sold for less than $100 during the holiday. Exemption certificates are not required. The exemption applies to each eligible item that sells for less than $100, regardless of how many items are sold on the same invoice to a customer. For example, if a customer purchases two shirts for $80 each, then both items qualify for the exemption, even though the customer's total purchase price ($160) exceeds $99.99.
The exemption does not apply to the first $99.99 of an otherwise eligible item that sells for more than $99.99. For example, if a customer purchases a pair of pants that costs $110, then sales tax is due on the entire $110.
The exemption also does not apply to sales of special clothing or footwear that the manufacturer primarily designed for athletic activity or protective use and that is not normally worn except when used for the athletic activity or protective use for which the manufacturer designed the article. For example, golf cleats and football pads are primarily designed for athletic activity or protective use and are not normally worn except for those purposes; they do not qualify for the exemption. Tennis shoes, jogging suits and swimsuits, however, are commonly worn for purposes other than athletic activity and thus qualify for the exemption.
The sales tax holiday exemption does not extend to rental of clothing or footwear; nor does it apply to alteration (including embroidery) or cleaning services performed on clothes and shoes. Additionally, tax is due on sales of accessories, including jewelry, handbags, purses, briefcases, luggage, umbrellas, wallets, watches and similar items.
Backpacks priced under $100 sold for use by elementary and secondary students are exempt during the sales tax holiday. A backpack is a pack with straps one wears on the back. The exemption includes backpacks with wheels, provided they can also be worn on the back like a traditional backpack, and messenger bags.
The exemption does not include items that are reasonably defined as luggage, briefcases, athletic/duffle/gym bags, computer bags, purses or framed backpacks. Ten or fewer backpacks can be purchased tax-free at one time without providing an exemption certificate to the seller.
Purchases of School Supplies Using a Business Account
Persons buying qualifying school supplies during the holiday are not required to provide an exemption certificate - with one exception. If the purchaser is buying the items under a business account, the retailer must obtain an exemption certificate from the purchaser certifying that the items are purchased for use by an elementary or secondary school student. "Under a business account" means the purchaser is using a business credit card or business check rather than a personal credit card or personal check; being billed under a business account maintained at the retailer; or is using a business membership at a retailer that is membership based.
A sale of a qualifying item under a layaway plan qualifies for exemption if the customer places the qualifying merchandise on layaway during the holiday or makes the final payment during the holiday. See Rule 3.365(i).
Eligible items that customers purchase during the holiday with use of a rain check qualify for the exemption regardless of when the rain check was issued. However, issuance of a rain check by a seller during the holiday period will not qualify an eligible item for the exemption if the item is actually purchased after the holiday is over even if the rain check is presented at the time of purchase.

Chantal Hoskam said: "I heard things going on but I didn't know what was happening. Then I heard the ambulance.
"I came out and saw lots of people trying to help her.
"I hope she's OK."
One resident, who asked not to be named, added: "It's very sad. My wife is a nurse and went out to help.
"Everyone came out to see if they could do something."
John Reeves added: "We hope she makes a speedy recovery."
Poilce are appealing for any witnesses to contact them on 101.

The roads should be designed so one small mistake by a cyclist or driver doesn't cost the life of the cyclist.

AMERICUS, Ga. — A man at the center of a police beating controversy has died.
Americus Police Chief James Green, said that Eddie Bridges, 55, was taken by EMS Sunday to Sumter Regional Hospital Urgent Care, and then transferred to St. Francis Hospital in Columbus. Bridges died Monday. Green said Bridges was picked up by EMS at a residence on U.S. Highway 280 West.
"I have sympathy for the family, but it wouldn't be appropriate for me to further comment," Green said Monday afternoon.
Sumter County Coroner Greg Hancock said Bridges' body was to be sent to the State Crime Lab in Atlanta for autopsy. Hancock said Bridges died in the Columbus hospital around lunchtime Monday.
The details of a physical altercation between an Americus police officer and Bridges, a pedestrian, on April 16, in front of the Goodwill store in the Wheatley Plaza will go before a grand jury later this month or in August to determine if the incident warrants a jury trial, District Attorney Cecilia Cooper told the Times-Recorder recently.
Cooper said the behavior of both the officer and pedestrian will be under scrutiny by the grand jury.
Witnesses' accounts describe Officer Michael Middleton striking Bridges in the eye with significant force after Bridges threw a can of fruit punch at the officer. Due to conflicting accounts, it is not clear how many times Middleton actually struck Bridges.
According to the police chief, paramedics told Middleton at the scene that the eye injury was beyond the scope of Sumter Regional Hospital's (SRH) temporary facility and Bridges would have to be transferred to Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital, Albany.
Green ordered two of his officers independent of the incident to transport Bridges to Albany. The officers took Bridges by SRH to have the eye checked before they made the trip by patrol car to Albany.
Middleton was on high alert for vagrants the particular day of the incident because store managers in the Plaza had complained to the police department about vagrants hanging around the Plaza and harassing customers.
Middleton found out after the altercation that Bridges wasn't one of the vagrants. The manager of Goodwill, who was reluctant to speak to the press on April 26, said the Plaza had been having a serious issue with loiterers but Bridges wasn't one of them.
She said Bridges didn't drink (alcohol) and he carried out the trash for the stores in the Plaza.
Middleton was placed on administrative leave in the initial days after the altercation while the Americus Police Department conducted an internal investigation into the details of the incident. Green told the Times-Recorder Monday that Middleton has returned to work. The chief said he took disciplinary action on Middleton's lack of proper radio techniques (calling for backup) and he will deal with the use of force issue after the grand jury review.
Green told the Times-Recorder in late April that it was known by several people "around town" that Bridges was somewhat mentally unstable, but Middleton said he wasn't familiar with Bridges until the altercation, according to Green.
Green showed photos of Bridges' eye to the Times-Recorder that were taken immediately after the altercation.
Bridges' eye was badly swollen and protruding from its socket. The eyeball was about the size of a plum and bloody around the perimeter. Green said he was a little stunned when saw Bridges' eye.
"Middleton told me he hit him with a lot of force," said Green.
Green also showed the Times-Recorder photos of Middleton that were taken after the altercation. They showed small cuts and abrasions on Middleton's neck, fist and an arm. His radio was ripped from his shirt during the incident, the police chief said.
Criminal trespass, aggravated assault and obstruction were the original charges against Bridges.
The Prison & Jail Project (P&JP;) of Americus called for Middleton's firing.
On Monday, the P&JP; called on the Federal Bureau of Investigation to "step up" its investigation into the beating incident.
The P&JP;'s media release states that "Bridges's death is being investigated; it appears he may have died from a heart attack .... "
The release also says, "Since the incident, family members have said that Bridges' health has deteriorated. He began having an increased number of seizures and was not himself anymore, a family member told the P&JP.;"
In the release, P&JP; Director John Cole Vodicka says, Mr. Bridges's untimely death brings this matter to a whole new level. We want to know if the senseless beating he received in April might have caused Mr. Bridges's body to shut down completely 7 weeks later. We continue to demand that the city fire police officer Michael Middleton."
