Cleveland Vice Mayor Avery Johnson told the City Council on Monday he is concerned about new cracks developing in the dome at Cleveland High. He said, "We really need to somehow or another come up with some funds to de-comission that building before it falls down."
Director of Schools Dr. Martin Ringstaff agreed. He said, "I would like to get started on the demolition as soon as possible."
Dr. Ringstaff also told the Council it would be more expensive in the long run if the building collapsed before it was demolished.

The first 100 people who lined up outside the Oswego Chick-fil-A Wednesday morning were guaranteed free chicken for a year if they stay on site until 6 a.m. Thursday morning, and that's just what they did.
The parking lot of the Chick-fil-A at 2740 Route 34 was full of pitched tents, tables and chairs as people from all over the country set-up camp for the promise of free chicken.
Murray Barrett from New Braunfels, Texas, was there with his son.
"We're heading up to a wedding in Wisconsin on Saturday," said Barrett. "We planned a stop here into our trip," making it the sixth Chick-fil-A "First 100."
Ron Hubbard from Montgomery said it is his second, and that he appreciates the fact that the chain closes on Sundays for a day of worship.
"Anytime you can help spread Jesus and God's message through a Christian group like this… it's great," he said.
The Chick-fil-A staff kept the campers entertained with various activities and a band later in the evening. Some opted to take naps in their tents, set up a bags game or pull out a deck of cards to pass the time. Free drinks and food were supplied to everyone who attended.
While playing bags with a group of friends, Oswego resident Rich Fitzgerald said it was his 14th Chick-fil-A overnighter.
When asked what he did with all of the free chicken – a year's supply is coupons for 52 free meals – Fitzgerald chuckled and said he ate a lot of chicken. He also, along with many there, gave away coupons to friends or family members or even passing strangers .
"These are just so much fun," he said, gesturing to the assortment of people in the parking lot. "I always see people here that I've met before. These are like big reunions."
Fitzgerald was very eager to have a restaurant open in his hometown. He said that before the Fox Valley location had opened, he would plan his vacations to try and stop in at a Chick-fil-A along the route to get his chicken fix.
"It's great that they're here," he said. "A great addition to Oswego."

A flood can really disrupt your life. First there is the physical damage, then the emotional backlash, followed by insurance claims, clean up and restoration.
While no one can change what happened, a professional restoration company can help to make your recovery just a little bit easier. Even though your life has been turned upside down by a flood, you still need to start the clean up process as soon as possible. This is where a professional restoration company can really come in handy. They can handle every aspect of the clean up, repairs, and restoration while you focus on trying to put you life back together.
But, as with any professional service, there are drawbacks. So we have put together a list of the advantages and the disadvantages of professional water damage restoration companies.
- Efficient and speedy clean up and restoration
- You and your family will have a shorter waiting time to go back to your normal life
- Professional restoration will lessen the time for secondary damages caused by water to set in – mildew, mold, pests, etc.
- When you go back to your home, you will be sure that it has been certified safe and sound for re-occupancy
- Cost: Prepare to have at least a thousand dollars or more to pay for the cost of the services and the repairs. But if you have the right homeowners insurance policy, most of these, if not all of these costs will be offset.
As you can clearly see, the advantages of a professional restoration company clearly outweigh the disadvantages. So if you feel you could benefit from a professional water damage restoration company or if you have any questions, please contact Atlantic Environmental Solutions by calling 877-296-6653 or click here today!

LEXINGTON, Ky. (10/3/13)—It was ladies night and just like the weeks before, we found ourselves trying to figure out which bar we wanted to go to. We wanted something low key, with good music, great drink prices and enough room to do a little dancing. We were looking for something new, and we were set out to have fun.
Walking into the front door of Survivor's Bar and Grill, the first thing I saw was a sign that said "Enter as strangers, leave as friends." I immediately knew we had made a good choice.
Looking around the bar I saw a variety of different people. People of all ages were mingling together, making new friends and dancing like there wasn't a worry in the world. The bartenders were not only welcoming, but made the best Long Island Iced Tea I think I have ever had. By the end of the night I had beat an older couple in pool and danced with a friend to the sound of someone singing karaoke, and when I left at the end of the night, there wasn't a stranger to me in that bar.
"There was good drinks, good music, and great people," said Jamee Adkins, a first time Survivor's patron. "We had so much fun and the night was full of laughter. It is definitely on the top of my list to go to back soon."
Located at 161 East Reynolds Road, Survivor's offers drink and food specials throughout the week. When the sun goes down, that's when the fun begins. If you are looking for a bar with great drink prices, a fun atmosphere, and a variety of people, Survivors Bar and Grill is the bar for you this weekend.
For more information on deals; hours of operation; and dart, Texas Holdem, and pool tournaments call (850) 272-8294 or visit the Survivor's Facebook page.

Abstract: John DeVeaux Olmsted was born on March 2, 1938 and died March 8, 2011. He founded the Mendocino-Tahoe Conservancy. He also worked to establish or save many California State Parks. He was instrumental in the creation of the Independence Trail, a wheelchair accessible nature trail in South Yuba State Park in California.

Language of Material: Collection materials in English.
John DeVeaux Olmsted was born on March 2, 1938 and died March 8, 2011. He had a 40 year career as a naturalist in California. Sometimes called "the father of the trail", he founded and saved California parks, including Jug Handle, a state reserve near Mendocino, the South Yuba River State Park which includes the Independence Trail, the first wheelchair accessible nature trail. Before his death, he founded the Mendocino-Tahoe Conservancy
Greatly influenced by John Muir, John Olmsted spent more than 40 years preserving open space in California. His life's vision was to create an across California trail from Mendocino to Lake Tahoe, which would be called, "The Cross California Ecological Trail." He strongly believed in Muir's contemplation, "When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe."
Fellow conservationists remember John Olmsted as a conservationist who loved to teach people about the nature beauty of California. While at the Golden Gate Park, he created a collection of images that gave 720 examples of California plant and animal life. He taught with the Oakland Museum, UC Berkeley Extension and the Mendocino Art Center.
The collection consists of 2 DVDs entitled, "My Father Who Art in Nature: John Olmsted Memorial" and "Stories of the Yuba: a Filmmaker's Journey on the River of his Youth, both by Alden Olmsted, the son of John D. Olmsted. There is also a set of slides entitled "The Language of Nature, Set 1, California Plant and Animal Life in 720 Slides, edited by John D. and Priscilla C. Olmsted.

For the second time in two weeks, Holyoke police laid out guns and drugs taken off the streets, this time arresting nine people for allegedly being part of an oxycodone drug selling ring.
"I really do believe this makes the streets safer. When you interrupt the drug trade, you interrupt violent street crime that goes on on our streets," said Holyoke Police Chief James Neiswanger.
Police say the drug ring operated in Florida, where people would be recruited to buy Oxycodone from clinics there.
The pills would then be brought to Holyoke and distributed, and the money would be put into bank accounts in Massachusetts.
Police raided houses on Oak and Walnut streets in Holyoke in conjunction with raids in Florida and Puerto Rico Thursday morning, seizing guns, Oxycodone and heroin.
One of those arrested, Idalia Morales, was taken into custody from her job at the Kelly School. As far as police know, she hasn't distributed drugs to any students there.
But residents say it doesn't make them feel any better.
"I have a grandchild that goes to a school around here and it concerns me because there's a lot of that stuff going around," said Annette Tardiff, a Holyoke resident.
"Not too good, not too safe. I'm glad they were able to, but somebody else will pick up and do the same thing all over again," said Marlene Rame, a Holyoke resident.
Still, they say they're relieved to see police conducting raids.
"We even hear guns going off here and everything, so I'm glad they're doing something and not ignoring the issue," Tardiff said.
"I'm glad the police are doing what they're doing. They're cracking down on people doing illegal stuff, it's important," said Drew Reardon.
Police in Florida arrested more than 20 people there, and in Puerto Rico, another six were arrested in connection with that drug ring.

Cheam Rotary's Santa sleigh damaged in bad weather
Updated 2:48pm Friday 17th January 2014 in News By Drew Nicol
Even Santa could not escape the recent bad weather as high winds battered Cheam's much loved sleigh.
Old Nick was shocked to discover serious damage to the front and back of the sleigh, with parts of the side panels completely torn away.
Cheam Rotary, who organise the sleigh, have already started repairs which are estimated to cost up to £1,000.
The sleigh has been a regular feature of the festive period in Cheam and Sutton for the last 48 years. The familiar float can be seen touring the area in the weeks before Christmas taking donations for local charities.
Next month Cheam Rotary are planning to hand over £11,000 to local charities raised by the sleigh and collections in North Cheam Sainsbury's.
The Rotary is now hoping to find a new sponsor who can ensure that Santa can continue the good work next Christmas.

Jane Harman
Jane Lakes Harman was a Democratic member of the United States House of Representatives, representing the 36th district of California. She is married to Sidney Harman.
EMILY's List
Harman has been supported by EMILY's List during her campaigning.
Woolsey/Sheinbaum fund raiser
Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey, the first Member of Congress to call on the President to bring our troops home, was be in Los Angeles on Saturday February 4th 2006, for a 'very exciting but critical fundraiser against the most well-known, well-financed challenger she's ever faced". woolsey was facing a primary challenge from a termed-out Assemblyman Joe Nation, a moderate Democrat who has been critical of her stand on the war and on bringing home our troops. He is raising money from people who have given money to Tom DeLay and Bush-Cheney and his legislative district covers 60+% of Congresswoman Woolsey's district. Congresswoman Woolsey is a "champion of equal rights, civil liberties, protecting the environment and fighting for single payer healthcare. Congresswoman Woolsey must be re-elected by the same victory margin she has had in the past to send a message to progressives everywhere that's it IS OK to be courageous, and to not back down on issues that matter."
The Host Committee for this fundraiser includes:
Ben Affleck; Ed Asner; Warren Beatty; Jodie Evans; James Cromwell; Matt Damon; Tom Hayden; Wendy Herzog; Mimi Kennedy; Norman Lear; Stephen Rohde; Susie Shannon; Stanley Sheinbaum & Betty Sheinbaum; Lorraine Sheinberg; Kathy Spillar; Gloria A. Totten; Peg Yorkin; Senator Barbara Boxer; Congressman Joe Baca; Congressman Xavier Becerra; Congresswoman Lois Capps; Congresswoman Jane Harman; Congresswoman Juanita Millender-McDonald; Congresswoman Grace Napolitano; Congresswoman; Lucille Roybal-Allard; Congresswoman Linda Sanchez; Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez; Congressman Adam Schiff; Congresswoman Hilda Solis; Congresswoman Maxine Waters; Congresswoman Diane Watson; Senator Sheila Kuehl and Assemblywoman Karen Bass.
The fundraiser was at the Stanley & Betty Sheinbaum residence in Brentwood. Both Sheinbaums have been members of Democratic Socialists of America.[1]
Cuba Trip
From Dec. 15 - Dec. 18, 2006, a Congressional Delegation of ten congressmen and women from the U.S. House of Representatives visited Havana, Cuba. Leading the delegation were Jeff Flake and Bill Delahunt. The other participants were Hilda Solis, Jo Ann Emerson, Jerry Moran, Michael Conaway, Jane Harman, Lincoln Davis, Gregory Meeks and Jim McGovern. The delegation met with Cuban Foreign Minister, Felipe Perez Roque and other communist officials. The delegation asked to meet with Raul Castro during their weekend visit to Cuba, but there was no word on whether such a meeting would take place.[2]
Staffer's trip to Cuba
Rep Harman sent Harry Jay Hulings to Cuba for 9 days in June/July 2008. The trip was courtesy of a $$1,668.00 grant from the Institute for Policy Studies connected Center for Democracy in the Americas... "To attend educational meetings and events focused on better understanding Cuba and U.S. policy toward Cuba" .[3]
"Progressive Record"
On January 14, 2010, Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey wrote a letter to Progressive Democrats of America defending Jane Harman's "progressive record";[4]
- Dear Tim, Mimi, Donna and Norman,
- Thank you for the thoughtful letter and the opportunity to respond.
- I will be attending the fundraiser on Saturday.
- Jane Harman has been a strong ally on an issue important to progressives—health care reform.
- From the early days of the debate, Jane has been an unwavering advocate of the robust public option, and on the Energy and Commerce Committee voted against the Blue Dog amendment that weakened the public option. She also urged that the Kucinich amendment that would have given states the option of adopting single-payer health care plans be included in the final House bill. I appreciate Jane's support for "real" health care reform.
- Since her election in 1992, Jane has compiled a solid progressive record on a number of issues. Her first vote in Congress was for the Family and Medical Leave Act, and she has consistently opposed all efforts to roll back a woman's right to choose. NARAL has given her a 100% pro-choice rating.

Born in the UK , Dan took a gap year in Whistler, British Columbia after high-school which planted the seed for a mountain obsession. While his passion for mountain life took a backseat as he finished an Aerospace Engineering degree in England, it wasn't long before he returned to the mountains to start shooting his friends in action. Dan spends 8 months of the year chasing winter around the globe shooting the worlds best skiers and snowboarders for companies like Oakley, Salomon and Columbia. His work has been featured in ski and snowboard magazines from Japan to Canada and everywhere in between as well as innumerable commercial campaigns for an ever widening list of clients. He now lives in the resort town of Whistler when he is not on the road, which provides the perfect backdrop for many other types of adventure, landscape and nature photography. Since starting a blog on his website a few years ago Dan's interest in all things digital has pushed him to learn, write and teach about many aspects of photography from HDSLR movie making to HDR photography and of course share his knowledge about ski and snowboard photography.

The A5100 is the latest edition to Sony's increasingly popular mirrorless system and for the price point they're hitting, this camera comes with a few surprising video features.
One of the main differentiators between Sony's F5 and F55 cameras is the ability for the latter to record 4k XAVC footage internally to its SxS cards, but this might all be about to change.....

This week Canon launched the latest in their lineup of of XXD cameras, the EOS 70D. It features a 20.2MP APS-C sensor, environmental sealing and 7fps continuous shooting speed with built in WiFi connectivity. What's particularly interesting about this launch though is that the headline feature of the whole launch has nothing to do with shooting photos at all. It's all about the video functionality.

Less than a year after the launch of Canon's Cinema EOS system they have announced the third camera in the lineup, the C100. Positioned at the opposite end of the lineup to the new 4k C500, the C100 shrinks the same form factor and adds a few new features designed to make this HD camera the choice for one-man operations such as news gathering and documentary work. With a list price of $8000 it now fills the void between DSLRs and the C300 and will be available this November alongside the previously-announced C500.{C}

Just before NAB, Vision Research announced a new version of the recently expanded Phantom Miro lineup, the M320s. The new M320s joins the recently updated Miro family alongside the M310, M120 and M110, all of which offer variations in connectivity and sensor sizing to suit a variety of industries. Filmmaker Jim Geduldick shot with the cameras before NAB to get some footage to use at the show. This has now been released online and I got a chance to ask him a few questions about working with these new cameras.

The new Meizler module was teased a month or so back on RED's website but at NAB the nearly finished product was on display. At the RED booth it wasn't possible to get up close to it but outside at the 3ality Technica booth they had one just sitting there all wired up and ready to play with. It seems that not many people knew this and I only stumbled upon it in my final hours at the show. So what's this module all about then ? Essentially it's aim is to streamline your camera rig and remove a number of the additional boxes and adapters that necessarily hang off the side of most rigs on a big production. Anyone who has rigged up an Alexa is appreciative of the built in connections for focus, iris and zoom motors and the built in receiving capabilities using the remote controls from ARRI and C-Motion. The Meizler module adds similar functionality to the Epic.

As I wandered the show floor at NAB 2012 bumping into friends and colleagues, the inevitable question arises; ' so what's the coolest thing you've seen so far ?' Every time this was asked, for the first couple of days at least, my mind jumped back to the Sony booth. Using multiple cameras in a fixed position to cover the length or breadth of a sporting stadium is nothing new. In fact just around the corner from the dual F65 setup was a similar display showing the same idea using regular HD cameras, a system that is on the market and in use by many broadcasters. With lowly old HD though you would need a plethora of cameras to achieve the flexibility that was shown by just two F65s.

On the Sunday evening here at NAB 2012 Canon screened two short films shot with their upcoming 4K cameras, the C500 and EOS-1D C. The first short, The Ticket, was shot by Shane Hurlbut with the 1D C and the second by Jeff Cronenweth on the C500, Man & Beast. Both DPs were given a chance to speak afterwards about their experiences with the camera which was then followed by a technical presentation by Larry Thorpe. A few key pieces of information about these two cameras were revealed during the talk so let's take a closer look.{C}

CATEGORIES MoviesIt's mid-January! Which means, well, not much -- unless you are a George Lucas fanatic. This Friday, the first non-"Indiana Jones," non-"Star Wars"-related Lucas project in 17 years will hit theaters.
George has been trying to get his Tuskegee Airmen epic, "Red Tails," off the ground for years, and this weekend it will finally see the light of day. However, "Tails" goes up against plenty of admirable foes, both new and old. For a closer look at what's in store this weekend, let's check out Moviefone's Weekend Movie Preview.
"Red Tails"
What's the story: "Red Tails" tells the true story of the Tuskegee Airmen, a group of African-American fighter pilots called into action during WWII. Despite the segregation issue in the United States at the time, the soldiers were still given the opportunity to fly. The film stars Terrence Howard, Cuba Gooding Jr., Bryan Cranston and, for some reason, Ne-Yo.
Box office prediction: If you haven't heard, this week George Lucas announced his retirement, sort-of. He's now done making blockbuster movies (but he left an out clause for "Indiana Jones 5"). So, will the Lucasfilm faithful flock to the theaters to see one last big-budget movie from Lucas that doesn't star Indy? Probably not, especially with competition from "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol" and last week's box-office winner, "Contraband." $11 million
[Showtimes & Tickets]
"Underworld Awakening"
What's the story: For those keeping count, "Awakening" is the fourth film in the franchise. It sees the return of Kate Beckinsale's vampire warrioress Selene (she sat out the third film in the series, "Rise of the Lycans"), who escapes a government facility where she was cryogenically frozen for 12 years. Selene looks to try and stop humans from destroying Vampires and Lycans (advanced werewolves).
Box office prediction: The last "Underworld" with Beckinsale had a strong opening, at $26 million. However, its closest competition, at No. 2, was "Hoodwinked," which came in at $10 million. Although "Underworld" is the only sci-fi-based film out this weekend, it will still be facing an uphill battle with other action movies, "Haywire," in particular. $17 million
[Showtimes & Tickets]
What's the story? This Steven Soderbergh-directed film stars former MMA fighter Gina Carano as Mallory Kane, a highly trained government operative. However, when a mission goes wrong in Barcelona, she gets double-crossed and is forced to fight the people she originally trusted. If you've seen the trailer, you know her former team picked the wrong person to mess with.
Box office prediction: MMA has a very dedicated fan base, but -- as "Warrior" proved -- they might not be willing to pay to see anything MMA-related. Thankfully, "Haywire" has no shortage of stars. The cast includes Michael Douglas, Michael Fassbender, Antonio Banderas, Ewan McGregor and Channing Tatum. Although this movie might not make a lot of money opening weekend, expect it to grow strong as the weeks progress. $9 million
First up on the limited-release front is "Coriolanus," a modern retelling of the Shakespearean tragedy. Directed and starring Ralph Fiennes, the movie tells the story of the revered Roman general, Caius Martius 'Coriolanus,' who's kicked out of Rome after the public turns against him. To take revenge, he teams up with his enemy Tullus Aufidius (Gerard Butler). Speaking of war movies, Christian Bale stars in the Chinese epic, "The Flowers of War," while "The Front Line" tells the story of a battalion in the Korean war. Last but not least, for all the Anime fans out there, there's "Fullmetal Alchemist: The Sacred Star of Milos."

Fever crush Liberty by 21 on the road
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Erlana Larkins scored a season-high 15 points and the Indiana Fever used a big third quarter to rout the New York Liberty 74-53 on Saturday night.
Indiana (5-8) led by three at the half before blowing the game open in the third, outscoring New York 31-6. After the Liberty scored the first basket of the second half, Indiana had 11 straight points, including five by Larkins.
Kara Braxton scored with 5:10 left in third to make it 48-38, but that was the Liberty's last basket of the period.
The Fever then got hot from behind the arc. They hit five 3-pointers, including a four-point play by Erin Phillips that made it 63-40. Indiana has won four of its last five to climb within a half-game of the Liberty (6-8) for fourth place in the East.
Kokomo sweeps Plymouth in Legion play
The Kokomo Post 6 American Legion baseball team swept Plymouth Post 27 in a doubleheader at CFD Investments Stadium Saturday
The Sixers won the first game 7-0 behind a complete-game effort from pitcher Damon Prater. He gave up four hits, four walks and had seven strikeouts. On the offensive side, Jesse Broomfield singled and doubled for the Sixers. Logan Barnes and Justin Blevens each singled twice. Isaac Turner doubled.
Kokomo won the closer 11-10 in a regulation seven innings. The game was tied at 10-all through five before Kokomo pushed across a run in the bottom of the sixth. Drew Harris singled to start the rally. Jesse Broomfield then reached on a fielders' choice, and later scored on Logan Barnes' double.
Reliever Eli Grimes was the winning pitcher. He threw three innings with no runs, two hits, one walk and four strikeouts. Harris led the offense with a 4-for-4 effort with four singles. Barnes had two singles along with his double, and walked twice. Conner Milligan and Blevens each had two singles.

Black Jack pours an almost black brown color. With a very fleeting off white head.
Smoky aroma notes dominate.
The flavor is smoky with a little spiciness from the hops.
The beer is so smooth all the way through. Feels medium bodied.
Very drinkable.
A pretty good porter indeed.

Pours a deep amber with a thin head that leaves a trace of lacing,aroma of coffee and fruit with some bitter chocolate as well but it is subdued.Taste has a fruity edge to it with some milk chocolate and earth it mingles pretty well together.A pretty solid porter what have liked a little more muscle to it but good none the less.

Served on tap at Tyler's Taproom in Apex, NC
Arrived at the table in a tapered pint glass, showing off a very dark brown color and a modest 3/4 inch of creamy light brown foam. Head retention was decent on this and there was good lacing all the way down the glass.
The aromas on this were a little different as there seemed to me to be something on the order of molasses mixed in with a light mocha smells. There was something else reminiscent of black licorice but very faint. It all came together quite nicely.
The flavors for this weren't quite as complex as the aromas, but that doesn't make this brew bad by any stretch. Nice full mouthfeel combines with robust flavors of chocolate and light coffee. That creamy head foreshadows a similar silky texture as it wraps around the tongue while light carbonation dances across the taste buds. The finish starts a touch on the sweet side but goes dry pretty quickly with moderate lingering of coffee.
Complex, solid flavors, and smooth textures make this brew quite enjoyable. I only had one but it made an impression. Recommended to the porter lovers out there.

Presentation: 12oz brown bottle. Bottled on date stamped on the side.
Appearance: Very dark brown with ruby hues. Pours foamy and thick, then settles to a tan creamy, patchy lace.
Smell: Roasty, touch of smoke and light grain aromas.
Taste: Real smooth and creamy. Full-bodied and near robust. Carbonation is tight. Roasted malt flavours come forth first with a typical black malt astringency. The beer goes crisp, a bit dry. Chocolate, liquorice and dark fruit flavours follow within the beer's sweet malt profile. A touch of hop bitterness and flavour is present, mixing with the roasted astrigency to just about balance the beer. Aftertaste is dry with grain flavours.
Notes: One of the better Porters to have passed along my palate in a while. Just the right level of sweetness and astringency

3.3/5 rDev -11.1%
12 oz. bottle poured into a New Belgium snifter.
A - Direct pour produced a minimal tan head that disappeared almost immediately. Very dark brown and opaque.
S - Roasted malt, dark chocolate, simple black breakfast coffee, hint of burnt caramel. Some hops appear in the nose as it warms in the glass.
T - Burnt toast, bitter chocolate. Bitter chocolate spread on burnt toast. An over-baked dark chocolate cookie.
M - Somewhat creamy with moderate carbonation. Reasonable body. Finish is drier than expected from the style, and disappears pretty quickly, making it seem thinner than it is.
D - Not smoked/burnt roasted enough to be an American pseudo-stout, but lacks any sweetness to balance the bitter chocolate taste like a good porter. Imagine drinking quite bitter dark chocolate without the melt-in-your-mouth creaminess.

3.25/5 rDev -12.4%
Appearance: dark brown with a small head
Smell: malt, molasses, chocolate, and a taste of caramel
Taste: Not nearly as complex as the smell. cream in the beginning followed by an expresso finish
Mouthfeel: sharp, crisp, dry, medium bodied, with a bitter taste right before a sweeter finish
Drinkability: This is not a bad beer by any stretch. It is a victim of timing. I have had a lot of excellent porters lately and this is not up to the same degree. If this was in a variety pack, I would have fun consuming--however I am more likely to get one of those other porters as a single first.

Poured into a pint glass, the beer poured a dark brown with rust colored highlights when held up to a light. The head was thick, khaki colored and creamy.
The beer smells of roasted malts and coffee, which is also how the beer tasted. The taste also featured some chocolate notes.
This is my first beer from Left Hand and I have was very impressed. I would definitely order this again.

Mahogany with ruby red highlights,nice color. 2" creamy light tan head with good retention leaving a nice pillowy layer with spotty lacing.

Moderate roasty tastes with lots of cocoa/chocolate. Good balance with a clean pleasing citusy finish.
Very smooth with a lighter feeling body,colud pass for a brown ale. Easy drinking beer could put a few of these away.

12oz bottle, 2/07/07. Pours a dark brown with a caramel bottom. Two-finger off-white head recedes quickly, but leaves behind a sheet of sticky lacing.
It's smells of sweet malt and cocoa, along with some grain. The flavor is dominated by the chocolate and roasted malt, along with hops and a bit of alcoholic sherry presence on the finish.
It's medium-bodied and easy drinking. Has nice complexity, as is oscillates back between the sweet/bittersweet and the roasted and charred elements. Would not turn one of these down.

A 355ml bottle with a BB of March 2013, so it's a little out of date. ABV is stated as 6.8%. Picked up a while back from Trembling Madness in York and stored in my garage. I hope it hasn't deteriorated unduly. For some reason there is a squid on the label....
Poured into a tulip pint glass. A dark reddish-brown hue with light carbonation. Yields a decent head of creamy beige foam that lasts for a few minutes before reducing to a patchy surface layer. Aroma of roasted malt with hints of burnt grain, mild coffee, chocolate, faint molasses and earthy yeast. Initially a metallic note was present but it disappeared after a while. Understated but pleasant.
Tastes of roasted malt with a dry bitter finish. Notes of burnt grain, mild coffee, subtle chocolate, a hint of molasses/caramel and earthy yeast. Dark and well-attenuated, with a restrained bitterness upon swallowing. Mouthfeel is smooth, dry and slightly tingly, with decent carbonation but a rather insubstantial body for the style. Somewhat astringent, with an aftertaste of bitter roasted malt and earthiness.
Not bad but not exceptional. Looks a bit lacklustre, though the aroma is nicely rounded. Flavour is OK but not amazing - it lacks depth. Body is a bit too thin. A worthy effort, but it doesn't match the best porters I've tried - increased fruitiness in the flavour/aroma might improve it. There is the possibility that it has faded over time, although it doesn't seem off. Worth sampling, but no need to hunt it down.

Deep brown with garnet hues around the edges. A light brown frothy head rises up minimally and settles to a fine cap of thin foam.
Aroma of roasty malt and cocoa, a bit of raisin.
Flavors of richly roasted dark malt, cocoa, and espresso. Some oak and charred bark, plus a cherry tartness in the finish. Mild hops flourish in the back of the mouth, cocoa lingers, followed by oaky notes.
Rich and fairly full mouthfeel. Tasty beer, very drinkable.

3.5/5 rDev -5.7%
Pours a semi-transparent brown with a thick taupe head. Lots of retention and lacing.
Smells weakly of coffee and a little bit cocoa.
Tastes nice and malty up front with quite an assertive, astringent oaky bite to it. Slightly acidic ripples of charcoal come to mind. Finishes nice and smooth with just an essence of the cafe and chocolate ebbing away.
Mouthfeel is just a scant thin for a baltic porter.
It's a nice beer after a long week.

A pleasant porter with a very dark brown color. I was a little disappointed by the head however, as it disappeared quickly. I am assuming that my glass was thoroughly clean, but there is a slight chance that this may have affected the head.
The aroma is dinstinctly marked by chocolate and roasted malt. It was quite sweet and enticing, but almost dominated by the chocolate alone. It seemed to me as if there was a slightly fruity element underneath the chocolate that was just dying to be released.
Taste is quite nice, though the chocolate flavors seem to be a little over-done for my personal tastes.
The only notable black mark against this otherwise fine beer is its mouth feel. I would describe it as thin... definitely not what you expect out of a porter style beer.
Depsite the lack of body in this beer (a significant factor to my personal enjoyment of porter styles), it is still quite good. This is my first experience with the Left Hand Brewing Company, and I would definitely like to try more of there offerings.

---- — BEVERLY — A Beverly man has pleaded not guilty to a charge of aggravated domestic assault and battery after his girlfriend, who said she is six weeks pregnant, told police he slammed her into a door repeatedly late Monday afternoon.
Christopher Burns, 28, of 3 Chestnut St. pleaded not guilty during his arraignment yesterday in Salem District Court, where a prosecutor filed a motion seeking to have him held without bail.
Prosecutor Patrick Collins told a judge that police were called to the home shortly after 5 p.m. Police found the woman bent over in apparent pain and, she told officers, bleeding. She was taken to Beverly Hospital.
The woman told police that she and Burns got into an argument and that he repeatedly pushed her into a door, hard enough to cause damage to it. A neighbor told officers that she heard three to four loud "thuds" and a woman screaming, "Oh, my God."
Burns, through his attorney, William O'Hare, denied the allegations, claiming the woman was in violation of a stay-away order from the home because of another legal proceeding involving her and Burns' father, who also lives there.

GBP plans on stacking the card with WW fights. Could be as many as 4 fights. So who do you think will be on it? I say Maidana, Matthyse, Josesito Lopez, and thats all I can think off.

Cant wait for this one! Finally, Special K can bring his ass to the U.S. and make some things shake. I'm not sure if he ever was opposed to coming to the U.S. in the first place, so I wont hold it against him.
I think I just get a bit flustered when a guy wants a U.S. fighter to come to their country and fight, when its well known that foreign fighters come to the U.S. to become bigger stars (Hatton, Hamed, Khan, etc). Im sure foreign fighters worry about being robbed in the U.S., who wouldn't?
I like this matchup, problem is, somehow someway, Devon seems to find a way to make the fight boring. He brings the fight, but sometimes, I cant put my finger on how it gets boring.
Brook WILL be a handful for Alexander, Im not disputing that, but if he struggled with Carson Jones, then Devon my be too much for him in patches of the fight. I can see Maidana possibly being on this card because he'll take chump change to fight, but I believe Lopez and Matthysse can make money on their own separate cards.
I cant think of any other WWs at the moment, who can be on this card, other than Paulie facing Maidana, or Soto-Karrass facing Bailey. What a minute, did I just name some WWs? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Grilled Chicken with Peach Sauce Recipe
I've been cooking since I was a young girl growing up on a farm in Indiana. This recipe was adapted from a pie filling. I've served it many times to family and friends.
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons peach or orange gelatin
- 1 medium peach, peeled and finely chopped
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
- In a small saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch and water until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in gelatin powder and peach; mix well until gelatin powder is dissolved. Set aside 1 cup for serving.
- Grill chicken, uncovered, over medium heat for 3 minutes on each side. Baste with some of the remaining peach sauce. Continue grilling for 6-8 minutes or until meat thermometer reads 170°, basting and turning several times. Serve with the reserved peach sauce. Yield: 4 servings.

Even though the hostel wasn´t booked out the staff tried to change our twin room to 2 single rooms and after we denied they wanted to add the tax on the amount which has to be paid on arrival. After some discussion we got the room we booked and paid what we had expected to pay. Beside this the location and security of the hostel is very good, and the breakfast was tasty.

I stayed here for a few days before and after an Amazon trip -- it's a cozy place to stay, and fairly affordable for a single traveler to get a single room with a private bathroom. It is an older place, but otherwise clean. Location is also great. A lot of places in La Mariscal are extremely noisy, but I had a room in the back and didn't hear much at all.

Bill Baker blasts McNerney on Iraq stance

On Bill Baker,
Bill's Baker's blasting Jerry McNerney is typical for the neocons that are about to have their reign come to an end. Congressman McNerney wants out troops out of Iraq with a timetable. This is good, but not good enough. We have no business there and should leave now. To expand Bill Baker's thinking maybe he should look at Ron Paul 2008, or just continue sinking our country in debt until it is bankrupt.
on Jan 22, 2008 at 4:50 pm
Thank you, William,
Clearly said and correctly clarified.
on Jan 23, 2008 at 7:24 am
WASHINGTON - A study by two nonprofit journalism organizations found that President Bush and top administration officials issued hundreds of false statements about the national security threat from Iraq in the two years following the 2001 terrorist attacks. The study concluded that the statements "were part of an orchestrated campaign that effectively galvanized public opinion and, in the process, led the nation to war under decidedly false pretenses."
The study was posted Tuesday on the Web site of the Center for Public Integrity, which worked with the Fund for Independence in Journalism.

I was disappointed that we did not actually go around the Horn like the brochure suggests. Really, we went under Cape Horn from east to west, and then turned around and went back the way we came from. I thought rounding Cape Horn meant going around Cape Horn from west to east since we started in Santiago in the west and ended in the east in Buenos Aries.
The ship was very stable, even in 54 knot winds. The coldest we had was about 6C. But of course the wind made it seem colder.
Avoid cabins near A624 and A623 if you don't like the slamming of food trolleys in elevators from 3 am onwards. I had to wear earplugs. Don't know if the crew could have avoided making such a racket.
Speaking of crew, the general crew on this ship seemed less than happy. I am not sure why? About a third of the passengers were south americans who may have been tougher on the crew - that is the only explanation I could think of, having experienced pushiness and rudeness from some of the passengers from that part of the world.
Anyway, it was a good adventure, rather than a pleasure cruise. The scenery was spectacular, and I got a strong case of penquin fever - I love those little critters.
Santiago was in better shape than Buenos Aires, though Buenos Aires had faded elegance that would have been impressive in its day - the Paris of South America. Now it is ratty around the edges, though you can still see its former glory in the big avenues and elegant buildings. And the locals are less than helpful, many being somewhat surly. I guess the bad economy and inflation is hurting.

Late last season, the Red Sox collapsed and missed the playoffs. The problem was that the pitching wasn't good, but because bad pitching doesn't make for compelling copy, the story was that the Red Sox had crippling clubhouse concerns. Pitchers were eating chicken and drinking beer in the clubhouse on days they didn't pitch, and this was supposed to show a lack of commitment that contributed to the catastrophe.
There will be no such tales in 2012. Bobby Valentine is Boston's new manager, and he has banned beer from the clubhouse. There are certain teams that have beer bans and certain teams that don't, but Valentine apparently wants to change the culture, or what he thinks might be a part of the culture.
Terry Francona was Boston's manager last season and for several seasons before. In talking about Valentine's beer ban, he had some words:
"I think it's a PR move," Francona, now an ESPN analyst, said Monday morning on ESPN Radio's "Mike and Mike in the Morning" show. "I think if a guy wants a beer, he can probably get one. You know, it's kind of the old rule ... If your coach in football says no hard liquor on the plane -- I mean, you serve beer and wine -- somebody's going to sneak liquor on the plane.
"If you furnish a little bit, it almost keeps it to a minimum."
"I don't think it's a surprise that they put this in effect, or the fact they announced it," Francona said of the alcohol ban. "It's probably more of a PR move just because, you know, the Red Sox (took) such a beating at the end of the year."
Said Valentine when he heard about Francona's remarks:
"How is it a PR move?" Valentine shot back, according to a tweet by ESPNBoston.com's Gordon Edes. ''Were 20 teams looking for PR when they made good decisions?''
It's hard to say who's in the right and who's in the wrong, here, probably because neither side is absolutely right or absolutely wrong. There probably is a PR element to this, but it's not like there's any obligation on the Red Sox's part to provide alcohol for their players. On the other hand, let's not make too much of a guy having a beer when he isn't playing, or when a game's already over. Joe Maddon said that he wouldn't implement a beer ban, saying that he sees "nothing wrong" with a player having a drink when he's finished.
Bobby Valentine and Terry Francona are two different managers with two different sets of philosophies, and beer in the clubhouse happens to be one area where they disagree. That's fine, and it's up to the Red Sox's players to adjust, because with Valentine, a lot of things are going to change. Those who want to drink will still be able to drink, if a little more inconveniently, and while Valentine will get credit for his discipline if the Red Sox bounce back and make the playoffs, ultimately the clubhouse beer policy isn't going to be the reason. I wonder how much longer we're going to be hearing about this story. I'm hoping that the answer is "not".

Similarly to Shane Vereen, Stevan Ridley could get some touches in Bill Belichick's rotating backfield, but he will be hard-pressed to get fantasy points.
The Patriots needed to add backs, and by adding two on Friday it appears that the three veterans — Fred Taylor, Kevin Faulk and Sammy Morris will be gone. While BenJarvus Green-Ellis and Danny Woodhead had breakout seasons, Belichick likes to split carries, and Green-Ellis is likely not a 300-plus carries guy. But, Green-Ellis will take the red-zone carries with Woodhead getting receptions.
Where does Ridley fit in? He's a solid blocker, meaning he could give Woodhead spells on third down and become a good pass catcher for Tom Brady. He ran for over 1,000 yards in the SEC, so he can be productive, but doesn't have the speed to help on returns.
Unless Ridley has a training-camp breakthrough like the backs ahead of him had last season, he won't get enough looks to be a fantasy option, especially considering he will have to battle with Vereen to be the team's third back.

so you people do not think it is a wise way for Canon to either buy Sony sensors fast as he... or show that they can do anything similar as Sony, Panasonic, Omnivision, Aptina?
No, i've had the discussion where, at some point, if Sony is outright making the best sensors by far that it would be fine/great if they were put in Canon SLRs to be used with the excellent lineup of lenses.
I would like to see what the new sensor tech on the coming Canon big MP sensor is like. If Canon is able to trump the image quality and dynamic range of even the Sony sensors, as is rumored, then no further discussion or ongoing comparisons, even in the future, is needed. ever.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — There will be a winner and a loser every Super Bowl Sunday. But at the "Puppy Bowl," it's always a win for animal shelters.
The show provides national exposure to the shelters across the country that provide the puppy athletes and the kittens that star in the halftime show, and introduces viewers to the different breeds and animals that need homes, animal workers say. Many shelters see bumps in visits from viewers who are inspired to adopt a pet.
The "Puppy Bowl," an annual two-hour TV special that mimics a football game with canine players, made its debut eight years ago on Animal Planet, a cable channel. Dogs score touchdowns on a 10-by-19-foot gridiron carpet when they cross the goal line with a toy. There is a Most Valuable Pup award, a water bowl cam, a new lipstick cam (it's in the lips of the toys), slow-motion cameras, hedgehog referees, a puppy hot tub and a blimp with a crew of hamsters. Bios on each puppy player flash across the screen during close-ups of the action, letting viewers know how to find each animal for adoption.
Most of the puppies, however, are usually adopted by airtime since the show is filmed months ahead, said executive producer Melinda Toporoff, who is working on her fifth "Puppy Bowl."
The inaugural "Puppy Bowl," which was promoted as an alternative to the Super Bowl, had 22 puppies and was watched by nearly 6 million viewers. Nearly 9 million tuned in last year and another 1.4 million watched via video streams.
"Puppy Bowl IX" will feature 84 animals, including 21 kittens from a New York shelter for the halftime show, and 63 puppies from 23 shelters.
Only four of the puppies have yet to find new homes, Toporoff said. They include Tyson, Daphne and Sacha — three pit bull mixes from the Pitter Patter Animal Rescue in Silver Lake, Wis., — and Jenny, a terrier mix from the Pitty Love Rescue in Rochester, N.Y.
The "Puppy Bowl" airs on Feb. 3 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. in all time zones and will keep repeating until 3 a.m. The Super Bowl starts at 6:30 p.m. ET and 3:30 p.m. PT.

Wednesday afternoon, Major League Baseball did something they've not done in a long, long time ...
They held a lottery. Officially, MLB held a Competitive Balance Lottery, with the winners awarded extra draft picks in next June's Rule 4 (amateur) Draft. The teams included in the first round of the lottery included those which ranked in the bottom 10 in revenues last season, or the bottom 10 in market size. The second round of the lottery included the teams that didn't get a pick in the first round, plus any team that didn't qualify for the first round but did receive revenue-sharing money last season; this time around, that was just the Tigers.
The six picks awarded in the first round of the lottery will be slotted after the first full round of the draft. The six picks awarded in the second round of the lottery will be slotted after the second round of the draft.
Here were the results of the lottery:
Round A (after Round 1)
1. Royals
2. Pirates
3. Diamondbacks
4. Orioles
5. Reds
6. Marlins
Round B (after Round 2)
1. Padres
2. Indians
3. Rockies
4. Athletics
5. Brewers
6. Tigers
Overall, these Round B picks will be roughly the 70th to 75th picks in next June's draft. As MLB Network pointed out so helpfully, you can pick up some pretty good players with picks in that range. Examples: David Cone, Ken Caminiti, A.J. Pierzynski, Grady Sizemore, and Dan Haren.
Granted, five non-Hall of Famers over the course of two decades isn't particularly encouraging for the clubs who now own these picks. But lesser players can be useful, too. You'd rather have the picks than not have them.
Oh, and remember all the talk about the Cardinals winning the World Series and getting an extra pick in the draft? Because they play in a small market? Well, the Cardinals didn't get a pick. Their chances were lessened because of their 2011 winning percentage, and they've been shut out completely.
Of course, one might still wonder why the Diamondbacks are getting an extra pick -- and a pretty high one, at that -- considering how many games they won last year, and also since when is Phoenix either small-market or low-revenue?
Ah, the mysteries of Bud Selig's Brain.
Now the fun really begins, as teams with these picks are free to trade them at any point before the season ends.

Harsh weather conditions couldn't stop the Grassroots team to give its best!
Great team spirit and the commitment of all participants helped us to finish this race in the category "Business" ranking 191 of 800 teams.
Even before the start at 8:30 clock very dark clouds hung in the sky over Zurich, and not even 20 minutes after the start bad weather conditions made this become an even tougher exercise: Heavy rain, wind and temperatures below 10 degrees dominated the anniversary edition of the Zurich Marathon. However the Grassroots Switzerland team took the challenge and showed really great team spitit finishing this race in the category "Business" ranking 191 of 800 teams.

Heritage Plans come to life in 2013
The idea of the Old Church Lodge started some years ago following the Parish Plan consultation in Clophill. This process led to a group of diverse yet like minded volunteers putting together a charity to resolve the issues at St Mary's Church in Clophill.
Since the first ideas and options were discussed in 2007 there has been much community and voluntary work to set up a charity and a company limited by guarantee (Clophill Heritage Trust) as well as development work to provide a long term viable and beneficial solution for the site.
In doing so the Trust has managed to gain funding for related activities such as the Heritage Building Skills network which was established in 2012 in partnership with Bedford College to ensure the involvement and training of young people for the many heritage assets across the region.
The Trust has now established relationships with over 100 supporters and partners and has developed a programme to not only resolve the current issues for Old St Mary's Church but provide benefit for both the community and the wider Greensand Ridge area.
The Trust are working to raise funds for the final stage of the Eco Lodge. Any donations, small or large would be much appreciated. The consolidation of the scheduled ancient monument (Old St Mary's Church) which sits at the centre of the beautiful, 40 mile long Greensands Ridge walk is fully funded and work is well under way. The monument will have the added attraction of a heritage observation tower to enjoy the stunning views.
These projects are now in the delivery phase and when completed in 2014 they will eliminate the anti-social and criminal activity at the site and allow the monument to be removed from English Heritage's 'Heritage at Risk' register as well as provide a long term sustainable future for the site for visitors to enjoy.
The Trust would like to thank all of those who have helped us to date and look forward to a continued relationship over the delivery and operational phases of this exciting, innovative and locally-driven programme.
