A father and son are lucky to be alive after being shot allegedly by a man trying to rob their Chicopee home.
That man is now in custody.
The father spoke exclusively with CBS 3 Springfield, saying if it wasn't for the family dog, the night could have turned out much differently.
It was late night barking from 2-year-old beagle Roxy that roused Corey Bergeron out of his bed late Monday night.
"She was very adamant and banging on the door and I was in my bed and I'm trying to call her to the room and she won't come," Bergeron said.
When he followed her to the back door of their Madison Street home, he noticed the back gate was open.
"But I still didn't think anything of it," he said.
That was when Roxy ran down to the basement.
Bergeron never could have expected what he would find then.
"She kept barking and lunging and barking and lunging so I just kind of squatted down until I could see in the basement and came face to face with his gun ... all I could get out of my mouth is, 'What are you doing in here?' and I literally froze with probably fear, I couldn't move," Bergeron said.
Police say it was 34-year-old William Wright of Westfield who was in the basement.
Bergeron says Wright forced him upstairs, where his son, Nicholas Bergeron, and his girlfriend were watching TV.
"He said we're going to do this the easy way or the hard way. All I'm thinking is we're going to be duct taped, zip tied and killed over nothing," Corey Bergeron said.
He then threatened them, following them around the house, collecting jewelry and Nicholas Bergeron's savings from his room.
"That if we didn't put things into the bag that he would start shooting her legs, he put the gun right to her leg, put the gun to my son's head in the bedroom, telling him that he knows he has more in there than we had," Corey Bergeron said.
When the robber asked to be taken to the front door and let out, Corey Bergeron said he suddenly turned, thinking he had been trapped, and that's when instinct kicked in.
"I mistook him turning around that he was going to shoot me and I basically attacked him at that point, just absolutely attacked him," Corey Bergeron said.
Corey Bergeron said Wright fired several rounds.
"I turned his hand this way and I thought I had the gun pointed the other way and he just released one, two, three."
Bullets sprayed the ceiling, then the wall, before finally making contact with first Corey Bergeron and then his son.
"I've got two holes, two holes and my son has two holes in his back side for jewelry and cash."
The robber finally ran from the home where Chicopee police were pulling up and waiting.
Police say Wright even fired a round at them, narrowly missing an officer.
He was taken into custody and his attorney waived his right to appear at his arraignment Tuesday in Chicopee District Court.
Corey Bergeron says he can't believe someone was lurking in his basement without him having any idea.
"He made it all the down my driveway and into my house and we knew nothing, we knew nothing. And I gotta tell you I never wanted a dog."
But he says if it wasn't for Roxy, he may not be alive today.
"If I didn't have that dog I'm telling you, he would've gotten me. I would've just gone out the door and closed the gate and he could've done anything, my back would've been to him at that point."
The Bergerons say their back door was unlocked but from now on they will lock it.
Wright is being held without the right to bail pending a dangerousness hearing next Tuesday.

Focusing more on lending to MSME units as they fetch better margins: IDBI Bank Deputy MD
IDBI Bank wants to put its money where its mouth is. Over the last two years, the public sector bank has taken a calibrated approach to growth, focusing more on the bottomline than the topline.
In an interaction with Business Line, B.K. Batra, Deputy Managing Director, said his bank is focusing on lending more to micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) as they fetch better margins. In the case of large corporates, that typically drive a hard bargain on interest rates, the bank is laying more emphasis on earning fee-based income by offering services such as trade finance, debt syndication, treasury and cash management services.
IDBI Bank's position as it stands today
Today, we are the sixth or seventh largest bank in terms of size. If you look at our financial parameters over the last four-five years, they have been consistently improving, whether it is in terms of profitability, current account and savings account (CASA) ratio, cost-to-income ratio, and employee productivity. Where we stand today, we are really a combination of the strengths — solidity, solvency, trust and inherent government backing — of the public sector and efficiency, fast turnaround time, customer-centricity, good range of products and services of the private sector. We offer certain things which others may not have — like we have the capability to provide advisory services, debt syndication services, which not all banks provide. We are quiet up-market in treasury services and trade finance services, on par with any private sector or foreign bank. In all the areas where we are working, we keep on benchmarking ourselves and trying to make improvements in processes, turnaround time, refinements in products and services. We survey and re-survey the needs of customers and accordingly respond to their needs.
Has the bank attained critical mass?
We certainly have the potential to grow faster. But at this stage we are focusing more on profitability. Over the last two years we have followed the strategy of calibrated growth. Before that we followed the strategy of aggressive growth for three continuous years when we were growing at over 30 per cent. Then, we slightly changed tack and realised that we needed to consolidate, have a re-look at our systems and strengthen them because we had grown at a fast pace. And we needed to re-evaluate and look at our systems so that they are on par with the growth that we are handling. So consciously for the last two years we have been following a strategy of calibrated 15 to 16 per cent growth, on an average.
Why this controlled growth strategy?
We still are behind many of our peers in terms of profitability, and the differentiation in strategy flows from this. If you have to improve profitability then you have to be selective in growth, in picking up clients and loan proposals. We should be doing business which gives us better margin. We should be focusing on those areas which contribute to higher margin.
So we are focusing on the micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) segment where the funding need is large and where people are prepared to give us higher margin. In the process, we can also improve our NIM. Similarly, amongst the mid and large corporates we are going in for such bundle of services where we have to give lesser fund-based assistance and more non-fund based assistance. Since corporates are aggressive in negotiating interest rates, margins for banks are lower. But then we can charge them for services such as trade finance, debt syndication, treasury and cash management services. So, we earn more fees and less interest income from corporates. On CASA growth
We focus on raising more low cost — current account and savings account (CASA) — deposits so that our overall cost of funds comes down and net interest margin (NIM) improves. If you are focused on profitability and NIM then your volume of lending cannot be very large. Towards this end, we are consciously making do with lesser growth in fund-based services and higher growth in non-fund based services; higher growth in CASA (so that we control our costs); and wherever we give fund-based services, we focus more on those clients from where we will be able to get higher margin.
On branch expansion and customer focus
We are adding branches every year. Currently, we have 900 odd branches and we are planning to add 150 this year and maybe a total of 500 in the next three years. The normal contribution towards CASA from each branch is getting added. But at the same time you need to deepen your existing customer base by engaging them so that they have more balances in their savings bank and current accounts. So, customer relationship management and customer value management become important in respect of all these clientele.
Loan growth
I must admit that it continues to be sluggish because the demand has slowed down on the consumer as well as investment side. Credit growth this year has been subdued vis-à-vis last year. So far this is the trend that we are seeing. But one is optimistic that if the climate for investment improves in the next few months then the demand may also start improving. It is basically going to be driven by investment demand followed by consumer demand.

M. Night Shyamalan: "I would be the greatest protector" of Rowling's workPotterCast
Director M. Night Shyamalan would treat J.K. Rowling's source material as "sacred," he told PotterCast earlier today.
"I would be the greatest protector of an author's stuff," he said when asked how much liberty he'd take with Harry Potter plot and theme.
The director, who is doing press for his new fantasy film, Lady in the Water, and has only ever presented films based upon his own creations, was asked earlier this week by ComingSoon.net if he would consider directing a Harry Potter; he said he'd been offered the first film, but at the time was working on Unbreakable and so couldn't consider it; he also said that "it needs to be kind of handed over, adoption papers and everything."
He clarified his statements today, in a PotterCast interview that will be published with the next installment of the podcast on Sunday.
"I would be very wary of screwing it up," he said. "So I would be very careful...I would cherish it."
He also said that if given the choice between the remaining two projects, he would like to direct film seven, and that missing his opportunity to helm the first film "haunts" him.
A full preview of this interview is now available on PotterCast.com.

Beyonce sang it best: "All the single ladies, all the single ladies!" Though the entertainer isn't a bachelorette, plenty of Hollywood actresses are, and on Independence Day, we salute their spirit.
Diane Keaton, 67: The preppy Oscar winner ( Annie Hall) has had her share of enviable romances — e.g., Woody Allen, Warren Beatty, Al Pacino — but flies solo, raising two adopted kids by herself. Earlier this year Keaton told AARP a possible reason: "Relationships are hard. You're lucky if you find someone."
Susan Boyle, 52: The Scot who shot to fame on Britain's Got Talent is a movie star too now, playing a church warden's wife in the upcoming Christmas Candle. Boyle told The Scottish Sun she's ready to be one off-screen, too. "I want to find a man. . . . I really want to start going on dates and I've asked my friends to set me up. I'd like to settle down one day."
Dana Delany, 57: One of TV's sexiest medical examiners on Body of Proof told The Talk panel in 2011 that she's not the marrying kind. Could be because her parents divorced. "I didn't see marriage as this positive thing, and it just wasn't something that I thought was going to make me happy so I didn't really look for it." Though Delany doesn't mind relationships, she isn't sure she could give up her freedom. "I like my alone time, I like working weird hours. If I feel like taking a nap at 3 o'clock, I will; if I feel like staying up all night, I will; if I feel like leaving clothes on the floor, I will."
Sheryl Crow, 51: The country crooner lives the good life in Nashville, with her two adopted boys. But it doesn't sound as if she is averse to walking down the aisle; Lance Armstrong famously said the reason they split was she was nagging him to set a wedding date. Eric Clapton was her favorite mistake, though.
Cameron Diaz, 40: We don't worry about this former model who has men like A-Rod, Justin Timberlake and Jared Leto in her wake. But Lady Gaga is reportedly nervous the actress is getting too close to beau Taylor Kinney while shooting the romcom ironically titled The Other Woman.
Oprah Winfrey, 59: The TV diva has been with Chicago businessman Stedman Graham since 1986 (and got engaged in 1992), but they never made it official. Maybe because she likes her OWN bank account. But The National Enquirer reported last year Winfrey was looking to stage a live wedding with Graham to bolster viewers on her cable network.
Diana Ross, 69: The Supremes legend had a tumultously exciting love life, having one child out of wedlock with Motown exec Berry Gordy and two marriages. The mother of five (son Evan is dating Ashlee Simpson) doesn't seem to think marriage is the cure for a love hangover. Read all about it in her upcoming memoir, Upside Down: Wrong Turns, Right Turns and the Road Ahead.
Sharon Stone, 55: Many have tried, but few could keep up. The mom of two adopted boys does things her own way. The twice married actress even tried things out with a boytoy (Argentine model Martin Mica, 27), but loving herself seems to be the greatest love of all.

The United States is one of the most diverse countries on earth, jam packed full of amazing sights from St. Patrick's cathedral in New York to Mount Hollywood California.The Northeast region is where it all started. Thirteen British colonies fought the American Revolution from here and won their independence in the first successful colonial rebellion in history. Take a look at these rolling hills carpeted with foliage along the Hudson river here, north of New York City.The American south is known for its polite people and slow pace of life. Probably they move slowly because it's so hot. Southerners tend not to trust people from "up north" because they talk too fast. Here's a cemetery in Georgia where you can find graves of soldiers from the Civil War.The West Coast is sort of like another country that exists to make the east coast jealous. California is full of nothing but grizzly old miners digging for gold, a few gangster rappers, and then actors. That is to say, the West Coast functions as the imagination of the US, like a weird little brother who teases everybody then gets famous for making freaky art.The central part of the country is flat farmland all the way over to the Rocky Mountains. Up in the northwest corner you can find creative people in places like Portland and Seattle, along with awesome snowboarding and good beer. Text by Steve Smith.

Sept. 9 marks 50 years since Dr. Sonnie Hereford III walked his six-year-old son, Sonnie Hereford IV, to Fifth Avenue School in Huntsville. It was a walk that would take its place in Alabama's history books.
On that day, Sonnie Hereford IV became the first black child to successfully integrate into an all-white public school in Alabama. His father tried to enroll him in the school the previous Friday, September 6th, but was met by state troopers dispatched by Governor George Wallace.
Hereford IV said he was only six at the time, so he didn't remember much of the walk. On the other hand, Dr. Hereford remembers every step. The family lived only two blocks from the school, but Dr. Hereford said, "It seemed like 20 blocks that morning."
Fifth Avenue School was demolished in 2003, but a historical marker now stands in its place, outlining the history that was made in the area.

Keeping the faith
The historic limestone church at the corner of Union and Arch Streets has served the campus community since the University's very beginning. St. James' Anglican Church, which is, in fact, as old as Queen's itself, has actively guided the spiritual lives of students, faculty, staff, and alumni for almost 175 years.
"We like to say that Queen's grew up in our backyard," says Rev. Valerie Michaelson, Associate Anglican Priest, whose main role is serving Queen's students as chaplain. "We were here when Queen's was formed, have gone through two world wars together, and witnessed Queen's moving from its roots as a small theological college to a secular university with international status."
Today, in a move to ensure stable funding for the Queen's chaplaincy, the Anglican Diocese of Ontario has established an endowment fund, with the express purpose of providing financial support for outreach to students through worship, activities, and pastoral care.
Two long-time supporters of the Christian community on campus, Prof. Emerita Marguerite Van Die (History and Religion) and Prof. Bob Crawford, (Computing), have spearheaded the formation of the Anglican Chaplaincy at Queen's University Endowment Fund.
Crawford, who has taught and worked in administrative capacities at Queen's for almost 42 years and is due to "officially" retire come December, has long seen the wisdom of making spiritual guidance available to students. However, he became acutely aware of the need to do so during his 10-year tenure as Dean of Student Affairs (1995-2005). Now that he's returned to teaching, which is his first love, he sees that students continue to seek out a spiritual life. This is proven by the numerous faith-group gatherings that occur on campus.
"The report of the Principal's Commission on Mental Health clearly recognizes religion and faith as important elements in the lives of many Queen's students," he says. "We know that faith communities enrich campus life, and there's hard evidence to indicate they also enhance the mental health of individual students."
Being on the frontline, Valerie Michaelson agrees. "Some students come here because the Anglican Church is their religious tradition. But many come without that affiliation and are seeking answers to some of life's big questions; they're trying to make sense of things and what it means to be human," she says.
Michaelson stresses that she is not a counselor, pointing out that Queen's has excellent mental health care and counseling services on campus, to which she sometimes refers students. Yet, she believes that the St. James chaplain is very much part of the conversation about mental health and can play a key role for some students. "Students tell me they get something different here. There are places on campus for care for your physical health, your social health and your emotional health. Here we offer a place for spiritual health, which is equally important," she explains.
In addition to regular worship services, St. James runs an intern leadership program for students who want to grow in the ministry. During exam period, parishioners prepare "heaps of food" for study-weary students. Music is played; coffee is served; healthy food is eaten, and students then go on their way to the library and study halls to prepare for exams. During times of crisis, such as a death of a student on campus, or a global disaster – such as the 2011 tsunami in Japan – the Church has an emergency plan in place for students who need extra support.
Marguerite Van Die hopes to reach out to all those alumni who have had a connection to St. James when they were students. "Many alumni have benefited from the services of St. James Church while they were students," she says. "We want to let them know that those services are still available each year to a new crop of students. "The endowment fund will ensure that we can offer them for years to come."
Recently, the Anglican Archdiocese of Ontario, a long-time financial supporter, had to end its annual grant of $10,000. Crawford and Van Die hope to build a sufficiently large endowment to replace this and thus generate enough annual income to secure the current position of a part-time chaplain and cover small expenses.

Pours not quite a lump of coal dark but close with some nice ruby tint thru out with an off white head that is gone quite quickly.deeply roasted malt and dark fruit in the nose with a hint of milk chocolate,big robust flavors for a big stout tarry and fruity roasted of course with a light smoky flavor in the finish.Wow I really like theis holiday stout big and complex and quite quaffable to boot.

3.95/5 rDev +14.5%
Appearance - Well, beside the lack of head I noticed that it's really not all that dark. I mean, yeah, it's dark, but not like a lump of coal. It said "Dark Holiday Stout" on the label too. It looks nice, just not super dark.
Smell - This English Stout has a nice, light burnt malt aroma with some notes of yeast and nuts. I hate to say chestnuts because it sounds so cheesy (holiday beer and all) but that's kind of what I'm getting.
Taste - This has a sharp burnt malt flavor to it that really lingers beautifully on the palate. There are some sugars at the taste that I didn't catch at the nose, but they are relatively subdued.
Mouthfeel - This just does meet my definition of medium-bodied. It lacks that nasty citrus tang that I've found in some cheap examples of the style. The blackened malts offer some bitterness at the finish.
Drinkability - The slight dryness at the end makes you want to drink more of it, but the flavors are sharp enough to keep one sipping. Nothing out of this world but nicely done just the same.
Update - I re-tried this holiday beer the day before Thanksgiving 2009 and it's just as I remembered it from my notes. I got a little better aroma from the glass this time around so upped my Smell rating half a point but otherwise this was right on.

Clever label, mediocre beer. A 50dc bottle poured into an imperial pint glass. The beer was dark brown with red highlights. It had a medium-sized tan head that disappeared quickly. Roasted malt and faint chocolate aroma. Coffee and chocolate taste, teeny bit of hops. The beer seemed to be pretty watery, and I don't think I'll have it again.

The beer pours a dark brown to black color with some off-white bubbles but not real head. The aroma is heavy on the chocolate and roasted malt with some anise notes mixed in. The flavor is almost identical. The chocolate and roasted malt are what really stands out, but the licorice/anise notes are in the flavor as well. Thick mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Not great, but one of the better Ridgeway beers I have tried.

Poured cold from 1pt 9oz bottle into pint glass. Nice creamy looking head low, holds at about 1/8 of an inch.
Smells of malts and maybe a hit of copper. Taste is nice, albeit light for a Stout, I think that this is a nice stout for people who normally find a stout a little stronger that what they would normally drink. It does have a nice chocolaty taste and nice creamy mouthfeel.
A little bitter aftertaste on the finish, but all in all a decent beer.

Appearance: poured opaque black with some reddish brown hints on the edges , a creamy tan inch of head dissipated to a nice , lasting layer.
Smell: dark, roasty , and slightly sweet malt , some dairy , hint of chocolate syrup , very faint licorice.
Taste: Nice creamy body of roasted malt , bittersweet chocolate , slight dairy, coffee bean , some darker berry / fruity qualities , and pleasant hop bitterness keeps it all very well balanced in the finsh.
Mouthfeel: creamy and smooth.
Drinkability: A very nice stout. The only thing that makes it holiday like imo is the warming strenghth. Very pleasant roasty , chocolatey ,and sweet flavors that are kept in a great creamy balance.

The best part of this beer is how it looks. Midnight black pour with a short-lived brown head. It goes downhill from there. Sour, fake-malt aroma with dank wood and grain. Thin, watery mouthfeel. The taste is not like any stout I have ever had. Corn, grain, sour hops, metal, and burnt malt, but in a bad way. The worst is yet to come: a Jelly Belly popcorn aftertaste. Seems like a gimmick name for a bad, overpriced beer.

served into a nonic glass from a brown bottle 1pt.9oz. with crimp-on cap.
Opque,black reddish hue in light, 1" tan head dissapated quickly into coating throughtout,a bit of spotty lacing down the glass.
Strong chocolate aromas,also carmell/toffee/roasty,complex malt aromas.a winey,fruity smell,hints of vanallia,Samuel Smith comes to mind in the aromas.
Very chocolaty tastes,also roasty.a sweet boozy taste,a bit winey.
Notes of vanallia,the finish is dry,tart,bitter,yet very clean. Not a bad taste, just a bit boring.
A medium mouthfeel,creamy,a tad sticky. Easy drinking, just wouldn't
drink more than a few. This beer just reminds more more of a porter than a stout. Not a bad beer nothing to get excited about though.

Bought this for the novelty of the bottle. my initial impression? "eh". not the best. beer was very dark, almost too dark. Pitch black. malty taste.
Like some of my other reviews, this was taken from my notes, and is from winter 2007. I definitely need to retry this beer.

Poured from a 500 ml bottle into a New Belgium Globe glass.
Appearance: Pours a very dark blackish brown with a slight hint of ruby. Moderate amount of bubbles and about two fingers of light tan head that recede into a thin patchy layer. Leaves a decent amount of spotty lacing around the glass.
Smell: A roasty and sweet dark aroma. Roasted malts with hints of chocolate, coffee, burnt caramel, toffee, and hazel nut. Mild hint of smoke. Also some light undertones of dark fruit including prune and raisin. Sweet scents of brown sugar. Hop scent is very light. A pretty nice roasty and burnt aroma.
Taste: Like the aroma hints, a nice roasty and sweet mix of dark malt flavor. Dark roasted malts with a taste of chocolate, burnt caramel, toffee, hazelnut, coffee, burnt toast, and a little smoke. Burnt sugars add some sweetness. Light taste of dark raisin, fig, and prune. Subtle earthy hops in the background. A pretty nice roasted taste.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with a moderate amount of carbonation. Creamy and somewhat slick. Moderately drying finish. Alcohol is hidden pretty well.
Overall: Pretty good for a smaller English Stout. Nice roasty flavors and balanced sweetness.

A 500ml bottle with a BB of Oct 2014. Picked up from Booths about a month ago. Described on the label as a dark holiday stout - this is the second Christmas brew that I've had from Ridgeway recently. Lots of grains on the ingredient list.
Poured into a tulip pint glass. Bottle conditioned. A very deep ruby hue that appears black in the glass. Low carbonation. Produces a large head of creamy off-white foam that lasts for a few minutes before subsiding. Aroma of sweet, fruity malt with notes of prunes, dried fruit, molasses, mild roasted grain, subtle coffee, chocolate, faint smoke and yeast esters. Well-rounded but holds back on the roastiness that many stouts have.
Tastes of fruity malt with a dry finish. Notes of dried fruit, molasses, fruit cake, mild roasted grain, chocolate, faint coffee, leather, earthy yeast, a twinge of smokiness and stewed hops. Slightly sweet. A subtle bitterness upon swallowing. Mouthfeel is smooth, spicy and lightly tingly, with good body but a lack of carbonation. Mildly astringent, with an aftertaste of fruity malt and earthy yeast. The flavour doesn't linger much.
Not bad, though it seems like more of a porter than a stout. The strength doesn't show either - it's an 8% brew that drinks like a 4%. Looks alright and the aroma is decent, but the flavour seems rather muted. Some more roasted malt notes/bitterness would be nice. Body is OK, if a little flat. I guess for the ABV I expected a more complex flavour profile and a longer finish. A reasonable Christmas beer that doesn't quite live up to expectations. Worth trying but no need to seek it out.

Pours almost black with garnett highlights. Light tan head which quickly dissipates to a thin film. Aroma is chocolate and coffee. Taste is initially chocolates, then roasted malts, fruitiness in the finish. Seems medium bodied, lighter carbonation and some alcohol burn at the end. This is a pretty good stout, I'll probably get this again.

Despite the claim on the label, it does not pour out black as can be, its actually more brown and ruby. Aroma was lacking anything but slight roast.
A good dallop of nuttiness and toffee out of this one. Easy drinking enough. Slight plum and raisin feel to it. Keeps the bitterness in check. Good price on it, under $4, might go back to this one once a year around the holidays, a little changeup for that time of year.

Dark but not opaque, mahogany highlights shine through. Tannish head head is not big but leaves collars for lace on the glass. Aroma is reserved, mostly pale caramelized sugar, not much special. Flattish mouthfeel and not that pleasant, not coating or creamy. Flavors show some aspects of generic fruit-flavored gum, transitioning into mild and weak coffee but without an overall hard-roasted bitterness. This beer has the alcohol content to verge on Imperial or Double in strength, but compare it to Samuel Smith Imperial and its easy to see that it doesn't have nearly the interest. Sweet and unidimensional, maybe cantelope flavors are most obvious.

3.15/5 rDev -8.7%
Dark bodied stout with ruby highlights when held toward the light, mocha tan head swells leaving behind even thin bands of lacing. Aroma dark fruit and dark roasted malts very bitter root like notes, with fruit sweetness in the edges a bit of booze comes off in the nose as well. Flavor is creamy with dark chocolate and some packed in fruit notes mainly a touch of yogurt tartness and plum or raisin pudding. The mild coffee and dark chocolate roasts reign supreme bringing out a bit of alcohol in each sip. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a creamy lightly carbonated milky feel to it. Overall drinkability is decent but definitely not a beer to give up on American crafts for.

On-tap at the Brick Store.
Pours a clear dark brown color with lighter brown highlights and a one-finger light tan head. The head recedes into a thin layer on top leaving solid lacing.
Smells of watered-down roasted malt with light amounts of cocoa powder and nondescript fruits.
Tastes similar to how it smells. The roasted malt flavors are a bit more robust than the smell intimates and kick things off. Cocoa powder flavors join in midway through the sip along with a light fruitiness reminescent of certain Irish Dry Stouts. The ending is mildly bitter.
Mouthfeel is alright. It's a bit on the thin side with moderate carbonation.
Drinkability is OK. I finished my glass however I'm not sure about another.
Overall this wasn't a bad stout however the flavors really didn't make any kind of impact, rather they were just there. Not one to avoid but not one to seek out.

(Served in an imperial pint glass)
A- This beer has a deep black opaque body that looks like it has a slight hint of brown. The head is a big mat of soapy bubbles on top of a thin film of creamy light tan foam.
S- The smell of roasted malt and black malt has a dark coffee bean note to them. Nice and earthy in the roasted qualities with a hint of coffee with cream as it warms, but no note of hops.
T- This beer starts of with a dark black roasted malt flavor that is nice and dry. It is quickly followed by a sharp sour/tart note at the finish. The tart note is really big and bright with a hint of cherries so I don't think it is an off-flavor as it warms it give more of a cider flavor. The finish has a coffee bean flavor that is soft and dry.
M- This beer has a medium mouthfeel with a hint of astringency that makes my jaws tighten up a bit.
D- This had some nice roasted dark malt aromas but it sour/ tart cidery taste is really dominating the finish. I'm not sure if because this is a holiday brew that this is on purpose or if this is a bad bottle. It doesn't have notes of oxidation or any other signs of infection such as over carbonation or mold floaters.

I guess I was naughty last year. There was something very wrong with this beer. It was totally sour and gross. Maybe that was the point, or some infection was the culprit. The beer was black, but the head was more like a white haze on the top. There was next to no smell, and the flavor was like sour milk. I guess there was nothing wrong with the mouthfeel, exept being thin for the style. Oh well. DNF.

When I was a kid I used to have my grandmother take me on the Nasa tour as often as I could. Sometimes you would get lucky and get a chance to walk inside the wind tunnel (when it was not running of course). You could see the smaller area the aircraft was tested (from the larger room where the air moved into the tighter space), and the huge vents used to redirect the air. Pretty amazing. They would also show you the prototype model used to test the Space Shuttle that was, at the time, still just a concept. It would be cool if they still did those sort of public tours.

Too bad there won't be tours of the wind tunnel itself.
on Dec 7, 2012 at 5:54 pm
Yep, I helped design the supercomputer that built the Space Shuttle. Everyone at Cray Research was horrified when the Challenger disaster happened...quite a few machine hours were used to find out why it happened...
My MatSci class had a tour of the facility.

Used to live in Mtn. View. I went to Whisman School in the 1940's. When the wind tunnel started up, it made the school shake. I had an opportunity to go into the wind tunnel as the water tower cooler was being repaired many years ago. The interior is unbelievably smooth.

I'm pretty sure everyone figured out the blowtorch from the side booster is what made it happen

I went on a tour several years ago, we saw the centrifuge and inside of tunnel, no big deal.

Software-defined storage architectures
In data centers, the IO path to storage is long and complex. It comprises many layers or "stages" with opaque interfaces between them. This makes it hard to enforce end-to-end policies that dictate a storage IO flow's performance (e.g., guarantee a tenant's IO bandwidth) and routing (e.g., route an untrusted VM's traffic through a sanitization middlebox). We are researching architectures that decouple control from data flow to enable such policies.

What a night at the 1/4 mile bullring Wake County Speedway. This is the first time I a have raced this track in a Super Late Model. Everyone told me the bullring was a drivers track, and I can tell you they are right. I had a great car, but still had to wheel it. I had a blast, and cant wait to do it again.
I had the opportunity to race with some of the veterans in the Super Late Model world. We struggled during practice, but the car came around for race day. I scored the outside pole for qualifying, and with the re-draw we started 4th. Unfortunately with four laps to go, the leaders tangled going into turn four. There was a small hole that me and the forth place car decided to squeeze through. But the hole was not big enough for both of us. We ended the night with a 6th place finish.
I have to thank all the people and Company's that make this happen for me.
Randy Refrow, he has helped me with everything, He is a mentor, friend, and the go to person on our team. If you want to be fast, he is the man to call on.
Bobby Gower and Craig Gower from Cleveland Auto Spa. If you want your oil changed, car inspected, or the best wash in the area. Go see them.
All the guys from RPM Motorsports These guys take care of all my parts needs. Best performance shop around. Thanks Martin Cox for all the help in the pits.

Very dark, works most of the time on my waterline. Sometimes I cannot make a thin line but I have to try harder. Rubs off a tiny bit and smeared a little on my inner corners but overall good just wish it was cheaper.
This is my Holy Grail black eyeliner. Its insanely pigmented and stays put all day (for days if you really want!)
I particularly like this in the waterline and its very pigmented and stays put. Its quite thick and not very smudgey - you definitely can buff it out slightly, but don't try to use it like you would with MAC's Smolder.
I gave it 4 stars for the packaging b/c its a retractable liner and sometimes wish I could sharpen it to a finer point.
I also gave it 4 stars for the price, b/c I use this so much I buy one every 4 months or so.
I've yet to find a better eyeliner in black. so despite my mild woes, I re-purchase again and again.
Omg LOVEE! This is my favorite mac eyeliner. When I buy an eyeliner I want it to last on the waterline as well as the top. I tried the eye kohl in smoulder but it smudged waaay too freakin much. But this baby right here. . .it stays on most of the day, doesnt smudge, and glides on easy(: It does gather in the outer corner of my eyes but all my pencil liners do. The tip does tend to break if you're not careful so DO NOT roll it up more than you need. I wish mac would give a little more product for the price but it's not really a big deal. The second color i'm geting is smoothblue, to make my brown eyes pop. Mac's best eyeliner in my opinion and i hope they never get rid of this. BUY IT.
The best black pencil eyeliner that I have tried so far. However, it is not as smudge proof as the brownborder. I was disappointed when it started smudging on me because the brownboarder works so well. Although it is the best black pencil I've tried, I probably wouldn't repurchase because I feel like there are better ones out there.
Like the reviewer below, i have been using Clinique Quickliner for years and so i purchased the MAC Technakohl to try.
I am really happy with the quickliner - it stays put and does not smudge. The technakohl is very good - a deeper black than the quickliner. I think the technakohl goes on easier and smoother and is much easier for lining the lid than the quickliner. I have used technakohl on the lower lash line and whilst it glided on smoothly and with good colour, it did smudge a little where as the quickliner does not do this.
Hmmmnnn... it's tough to choose between the two, but i have ended up using technakohl to line my upper lash line (not lid) and then either clinique quickliner in black to line my lower lash line (softer look) or clinique intense quickliner in intense black (dramatic/stronger look).
They cost about the same and i suppose i could use quickliner to line my upper lash line, but i love the fact that the technakohl is really smooth to apply and so there are no tears when i line my upper lash line using it!
Hope this helps you...
I think this liner has better staying power than Smolder, and I much prefer the packaging because you don't need to carry a sharpener and the thickness of the lead is always the same. I am on my third stick and will most likely buy another once this one is done.
I love how soft this is. It goes on really smoothly without dragging the skin. It doesn't stay on my waterline but I have yet to find an eyeliner that does. Think I might try this in a black/brown next time.

I was shocked to see such a low rating on this product! It has become my HG liner for my waterline after the first use. I used to swear by MACs Fluidline for the waterline for years. It was my mission since I started wearing makeup to find something that didnt have to be checked for smudges every half hour and reapplied at the same time. Fluidline was my dream come true after 15 years of searching, but I just happen to casually ask a SA if she could recommend anything in pencil form for the waterline. I didnt have great expectations, but she recommended this and I had a gift card to use, so I figured worst case I could use it for top of my lid. I threw it on quickly just to try it and forgot about it. It was 5 hours later when I happen to look at it and it was still set in place without a smudge or fade. I will note here that it is VERY black on me. I honestly couldnt be any happier with this product. Since the Fluidline lasted so well on my waterline, I didnt really mind taking the few extra minutes to have to use a brush, but this just cuts that step and can more easily be thrown in my makeup bag for on the go use. I have a steady hand for a brush, but why not cut steps if you can? I

This was my first eyeliner and first MAC product I ever got, so I didn't have very high standards then. I loved how natural the black was when I used it as a liner, very good for cat eyes. I love how it's a twist type without needing a sharpener, very convenient especially for touchups outside. Hence, I've always repurchased.
However, after comparing with other eyeliner products I've gotten over the years, I have found cheaper alternatives. This one doesn't go on as smoothly as my Milani liquify (costs S$10) and Solani eyeliner (Taiwan cult product which is even cheaper). Technakohl smudges too, but it is better after application of eye primers.
For S$29, you can do better.

Minnesota Vikings: 7 Top Players to Target in Free Agency and the Draft | Bleacher Report
I expect us to Draft Ryan Khalil, sign Finnegan, V.Jackson. Draft Tommy Streeter. That right there is a big boost to our team
Damn man ... who is Ryan Khalil?
Just busting your balls there.
If we did all this (which is all affordable and doable) we would be very interesting and competitive next season. We could easily draft Minnfield, Streeter and Kalil. We could also bring in Finnegan, Jackson and Lofton without breaking the bank.
I have a hard time believing that all those free agents would WANT to come here. But if we convinced them to and drafted that well ... we would immediately be an 8-8 type team with 10-win upside (if Ponder in fact improves).

Just setting yourself up for disappointment.
I fully do not expect us to make any major FA signings (No V-Jax, Lofton or Finnegan). Some depth players, some young players with high upsides and draft well. Tht's what we need to do. We're not going to be winning the division this year, build for the future.Otherwise we're just tying up future cap money to lose.

I'd much prefer Bowe over Jackson, but if we do get either I'll be thrilled. I'd like to draft Kalil, and a WR in the 3rd or 4th and with our 2nd pick just go DT or maybe even OG. Lot of holes to fill.I am NOT here to provide good football insight or rational observations. I am an emotional 19 year old Viking fan and I expect you to adjust your expectations from my posts.
vikings top Fa
Then the draft scenario:
Trade with the Redskins and get their #6, #38 & #102. Value chart says theat's about right, we may get more for it if it starts a bidding war.
Round 1
Riley Rieff - LOT Iowa - Some have him just behind Khalil and could be a great get. He has good feet and good technique.
Round 2
Donterie Poe DT -Memphis - Big body and a good 0 Tech. Marrdro will be happy. Very hard to move and eats up blocks.
Michael Floyd WR - ND or Stephon Gilmore CB- USC, Xavier Rhodes CB -FSU (this depends on who we sign in FA. If we get a WR we should draft a CB and vica versa.
Round 3
LaVante David OLB -Neb. - He has great hips, great mobility and is a playmaker. Great speed for OLB and great in coverage. ONly knock he is a little undersized.
Round 4
La michael James RB- Ore- Great change of pace guy. This may change depending on Peterson and Gerhart's status.
Shawn Prater CB -Iowa - Redkins pick #102) We all can agree we need help on the back end even if we get a top Fa or a top draft choice we need more than just one CB we need a few.
Round 5
Ryan Miller OG - Colorado
Quote from Walter football:
Miller had a strong senior season with some impressive games. He showed the ability to be a forceful run blocker. Miller is a very good athlete and has excellent quickness to fire out of his stance to get to the second level. He anchors well in the pass rush and has the mobility to slide with defenders. Miller has the skill set to get some consideration at right tackle. He had an impressive game against Washington.
I think our OL would be dramatically improved and we would be dangerous on O with a true #1 in Wallace. La michael James would add a dangerous twist to our O.
ON D adding Poe would solidify our run D and help JA on the line. David will help as he can run with backs and TEs. And hopefully the Two CBs drafted will work out and we will improve a pass D!
Just some thoughts and if all the players work out I think we could be *8-8 in 2012 with alot of upside in 2013. Just my opinion and what I would do if I was in charge. What do ya think?

There s only two things stopping you - fear and common sense!! The Truth you CAN"T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!
Also, Mike Wallace is a restricted free agent that would likely cost us a boatload in cash (to keep it from being matched) and a first round pick. He simply would not be worth that much. He will remain in Pittsburgh unless they magically just decide not to keep him around for some reason.
For the money and the pick he would cost we could WAY overpay for a Vincent Jackson type in a 4-year deal and still not be dishing the kind of money Wallace would cost.
As for your other FAs. I think Nicks definitely could be leaving town due to the money that New Orleans is going to spend on Brees. But I also would not be shocked to see Nicks get franchised. All that said. They are going to have to franchise Nicks or Colston, which means one of them will see the open market and both could help fill a need here.
I would love to see us in the market for Brandon Carr. But I think most pundits out there see him back in K.C.
I don't mind the trade back scenario though as I do like Rieff. I just don't think he is the elite level OT like Matt Kalil is. I am hoping that if we are able to move our No. 3 we can move it to the Browns and then take Kalil anyways at No. 4.
I think the scenario presented in the bleacherreport article is not all that far-fetched. The biggest problem with going after V.Jax, Colston, Bowe, Lofton, Finnegan, Carr, etc. is convincing them that we are a team that can win NOW and seriously contend SOON. Once one of the dominoes falls then a couple others might, but getting that first guy to sign is going to be very tough.

NEW ORLEANS (BP) -- Filipino Southern Baptist leaders focused on strategies for church planting and training disciples for cross-cultural international missions via tent-making during their June 19 meeting held in conjunction with the Southern Baptist Convention annual meeting in New Orleans.
"If we want to do missions the same way we have been doing missions in the past, we can never reach the world with the Gospel," Nono Badoy, executive director of the Philippines Missions Mobilization Movement (PM3), said during the meeting of the Filipino Southern Baptist Fellowship of North America. "So, nontraditional missions are very crucial," the Filipino leader said, "if we want to really see the world reached with the Gospel."
For Filipinos, non-traditional missions means tent-making -- using one's non-church vocation as a platform for sharing the Gospel, Badoy said. With an estimated 10 million Filipinos living overseas, and more than 1 million of them Christians, Badoy said Filipinos are "scattered souls for the Kingdom."
"We've got to mobilize [nominal Christians] to be engaged in missionary work," Badoy told pastors and laypersons attending the meeting at First Baptist Church in Kenner, La.
A global movement is necessary, Badoy added, because the Great Commission commands believers to make disciples of all nations. By 2020, he said, PM3 wants to commission 1 million cross-cultural disciple-makers who will catalyze church multiplication movements among the unreached people of the world.
"We're empowering churches and training them so they can mobilize and train their church members," Badoy said. "On and off the job, the objective is to bring people of other cultures to a growing relationship with Jesus Christ."
Noel De Guzman, vice chairman of Filipino Southern Baptist Ministries in California, reported to the fellowship that more than 3,000 churches are part of the Luzon Convention of Southern Baptist Churches in the Philippines and 1,463 churches are affiliated with the Convention in Visayas and Mindanao of Southern Baptist Churches.
Ken Weathersby, the North American Mission Board's (NAMB) ethnic ambassador to the Southern Baptist Convention, noted the importance of working together to accomplish their goals.
While ethnic believers have open doors for involvement within the SBC, they also have "a door of obligation," Weathersby said. "It's a commandment to make disciples among ethnic people, a commandment that we are to love one another."
Weathersby lamented, however, that many Christians have "allowed fear to immobilize us and stop us from being obedient to the Father."
Describing church planting as the best evangelistic strategy, Weathersby said Filipinos' cultural adaptability provides an "opportunity to share the Gospel and disciple new believers."
Weathersby noted the fellowship's emphases on church planting, cultural adaptability, leadership and joy.
"I want to commend you for how you love one another [and] I want to challenge you to work together to penetrate lostness in North America and around the world," Weathersby said.
Jeremy Sin, NAMB ethnic church planting consultant, encouraged the Filipino fellowship to plant churches in Asian populations and to network with and support new churches near their own churches.
"We have one mission to accomplish, and that is the Great Commission," Sin said. "We have to multiply and we have to start churches."
Aiming for new churches plants in Atlanta, Baltimore and Chicago, Sin added that current churches must be intentional in fostering disciples who will be church planters. Citing success with new churches in Las Vegas, Toronto and Vancouver, Sin left pastors with three mandates: Be a supportive church, a standing church, and a multiplying church.
Noel De Asis, regional coordinator of the fellowship's Asian Multiplication Evangelical Network, underscored his "passion" for multiplying churches.
"I believe that God is a God of all cultures," said Asis, who encouraged pastors to continue sharing the Gospel, but warned, "If we won't change our attitudes to what is going on around us, the church will shrink and we will be out of touch, and we will be disconnected."
Filipino leaders engaged in a time of prayer for mission teams from Woodhaven Baptist Church in Tickfaw, La., and Atlanta (La.) Baptist Church that are scheduled to travel to the Philippines later this summer.
The Filipino fellowship encompasses 200-plus churches in the United States and Canada.

Forever Young
Taking it Slow and Easy
With so many older yoga students on the mat, it's becoming easier to find classes tailored to seniors, as well as more teachers skilled in leading them. The poses in a 55-and-older class will probably focus on those key skills of sure-footedness, strength, and flexibility. Angelena Craig, a Kripalu instructor in Newburyport, Massachusetts, thinks forward bends, backbends, and spinal twists are essential, too. "You're only as young as your spine is flexible," she says. asanas done in a seniors' class are frequently offered in a modified version, with extra time spent doing gentle stretches to warm up the neck, back, shoulders, feet, and hands. There's usually ample time alloted for pPranayama, too. "Breathing is the biggest problem as we age," Iszak says. "Poor posture happens over time and compresses the lung area, so breathing gets shallower. Rhythmic, mindful breathing is one of the first things we emphasize, and students start feeling better, lighter."
Props, too, tend to figure prominently. A teacher may use a chair to raise the "floor" about 18 inches for a modified Downward-Facing Dog or Extended Side Angle Pose, or to help maintain balance in Tree Pose. For students who are disabled or especially fragile, doing yoga on a chair is an option when standing for a few minutes isn't possible. Blankets, bolsters, blocks, and straps can give extra support and ease stiffer bodies into and out of a pose. But don't make the mistake of thinking props or modifications are a crutch, Cappy says. She often uses them as a starting point. "I start with the modification. So if, for example, we're doing Warrior I, we might start with the feet only 2 to 2 1/2 feet apart so it's not too taxing. Then they work on that over a period of months at their own pace," she says. "The idea is that if you have them do the pose with their feet 4 feet apart, that knocks out a whole bunch of people who haven't stretched their legs in decades."!--page-->

PASCO, Wash.-- More than one thousand high schoolers from across the state are gathering in the Tri-Cities this weekend.
The 32nd Annual Washington Association of Student Councils Conference, WASC, is taking place at Chiawana High School in Pasco.
The students are very excited for the conference. They're making the trip from 89 different high schools, from all corners of the state, to learn about how to make their school a better place. Students and faculty at Chiawana say it's a big honor to host this major conference.
These kids are pumped to spend their weekend at school. High school leaders from student councils and clubs arrived at Chiawana High School Friday for the WASC conference that's just as much fun as it is informative.
"I've been to WASC three times and I think that every year I've learned something new that I can make my school better at," said Brandie Kulmus, student conference co-chair.
Conference chairperson and school advisor, Sarah DeLuc, said a lot of hard work went into the event.
"It's a huge thing for my students and I. We've been planning it for two years and so the fact that we were recognized two years ago as being an up and coming program is really exciting to us," said DeLuc.
This year's theme is Catching the Dream.
Student-run workshops will share advice on all types of topics from community service events, fundraisers and spirit ideas. Guest speakers Will also deliver inspiring messages on how to achieve your goals.
"Each day has a sub-theme, dream it, believe it, achieve it. The kids can reflect and think back to what they want to see happen not only in themselves but at their school," said DeLuc.
"You're going to look within yourself. So I think that's one of the biggest parts of WASC. You grow from it," said Ilennis Martinez student conference co-chair.
Organizing this event is no small feat. It actually involves years of preparation by the school and the community. With each year that passes at WASC, the hope is that students leave feeling like they can make an impact.
"The most important take away is for them to look at themselves as leaders and look at where they are and where they can be and find areas to grow," said DeLuc.
Over 300 families are providing homestays for out of town students. The conference continues through Sunday.

Movie Brings America to Wheat Belt
Wheat.....it's a staple of nation's food supply, but most don't know where it's grown or how the finished product got the supermarket. In a interview with KNEB/Rural Radio Network, Film Director Conrad Weaver of Conjo Studios has a vision to show America how the nation's wheat is harvested through his film documentary "Great American Wheat Harvest". Weaver says the project is one step closer to reality with the sponsoring of John Deere.
Filming will begin this winter Weaver and the film's production crew will travel to Colby, Kanas to meet with one custom harvester. The story will begin when the crew picks up their equipment as they prepare for harvest.
In February, March and April, the film crew will be shooting interviews and telling the story of several different harvest crews and the process of gearing up for harvest.
The film will be true documentary with Weaver following four separate harvest crews , but there is no script. As things progress throughout the story change, Weaver says film crew will follow story, but he does have some key benchmarks in telling the story.
The Great American Wheat Harvest documentary will debut in 2014 at the National AG Day event in Washington DC. Then the movie will debut in a harvest-run movie tour - - where the film will be shown in all the wheat states in movie theaters in Texas to Canada. Locally, the film will be shown at the Midwest Theater in Scottsbluff, Neb.

AMORY, Miss. (AP) — The Amory Public Schools has adopted an abstinence-only policy for sex education classes in the fall.
Mississippi schools have until June 30 to decide how to incorporate sex education classes into the curriculum for the 2012-13 school year.
The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reports (http://bit.ly/ItkhVa) that the school acted this week.
The state is requiring that every district teach either abstinence plus — which includes information about birth control and sexually transmitted diseases — or abstinence only.
Students will be separated by gender. Parents will have the option of opting in or out of the class.
Abstinence-only prohibits discussion of abortion. Contraception can be discussed, but not demonstrated.
The curriculum is approved by the state Department of Education.

I like to train. It's been in my blood since I was a kid playing pop warner football (American) and I been at it ever since. I wake up everyday wanting to get the best out of myself Physically, Mentally and even Spiritually. Staying on the Physcial note though, I find the toughest routine to get up for when I hit the gym is core exercises. The shit kills me man, everytime! They have this new workout at this gym I go to, where u set your feet up to the point where you're dangling upside down and u have to pull yourself up. I figured new routine, I'll try it, why not. Did as many as I could until I burnt out... Bad idea! On my last count I couldn't lift back up and was left swaying back and forward like a fucking punching bag (Imagine that) until i could garner enough strength to pull up lol.
That experience led to the idea to ask people here who workout (or not), share what the toughest routine you've done or herd of doing while training?

I hear ya...they can't live with themselves taking that L so much so that they'd kill someone so they have to under those circumstances SMH.
It's crazy because they're willing to kill someone and do jail time...JUST to put themselves in a prison situation where nothing's safe. Backwards math, if you ask me.
I wanna try the that workout Mayweather does for his neck. Don't know what it's called, but it's like a strap around his head with a weight attached from a harness. Anyone know if that universal or just some improvising?
It's called a neck harness, and I actually bought one from Ringside.com years ago. It strengthens your neck, so you're able to take a better punch...unless Matthysse hits you of course.

Petition to Amend the DAC General ManagerŌĆÖs Two Year Employment Agreement so That the Agreement no Longer Renews Each and Every Day
Petition to Amend the DAC General ManagerŌĆÖs Two Year Employment Agreement so That the Agreement no Longer Renews Each and Every Day.
To the DAC Board:
We, as members of the Denver Athletic Club, desire to have the┬ĀEmployment Agreement between our General Manager Andre' van Hall and our club renegotiated. Specifically, we desire that the Board of Directors renegotiate the agreement in order to remove the "Evergreen Clause", which states "It is intended that the term of employment be a rolling two year term" and "shall renew itself daily."
We make this recommendation in light of being made aware at the recent DAC Town Hall Meeting that a previous DAC Board of Directors had entered into a two year employment contract with Mr. van Hall, which renews each and every day in perpetuity. The recommendation set forth in this petition solely pertains to Mr. AndreŌĆÖ van HallŌĆÖs Employment Agreement and does not pertain to any other employee contract with the Club.

Oxford enjoys a taste of the Orient
10:00am Friday 7th September 2012 in News
THE colours, rhythms and sounds of north east Japan have been celebrated outside Oxford's Ashmolean Museum .
Oshu Kanatsu-Ryu Dance Troupe are in the country to take part in the Thames Festival in London this weekend. But yesterday they gave a 45-minute performance in Oxford after being invited to the city by the museum.
UK troupe manager David Hughes said: "The Thames Festival likes to bring at least one troupe from somewhere else in the world. They had decided on Korea but because of the tsunami in north east Japan they wanted to have representation from that area."
He added: "I thought it was very well received and a lot of people came up afterwards to ask about it."
Mr Hughes said the traditional dance, known as the deer dance, "sympathises with the souls of slain deers hunted for food".
He added: "Traditionally it has also been danced to send people on their ways and in this case it was for those who were lost in the tsunami."
The dancers, whose suits weigh about 20 kilos, also blessed the museum and the 300 people who gathered to watch.
