The former jiu-jitsu world champion rebounded from early trouble against MMA legend Fedor Emelianenko in the Strikeforce main event to secure a first-round submission victory over the Russian who has dominated the heavyweight rankings, pulling off an improbable upset in front of a crowd of 12,698 shocked fans.
"This is the happiest day of my life," said Werdum, who continued to call Emelianenko the greatest heavyweight in the world even after the win. "I waited for this fight my whole life."
Things looked grim for the Brazilian in the opening seconds as he was dropped in the first significant striking exchange of the bout. Sensing a finish, Emelianenko pounced on his downed opponent with an aggressive ground-and-pound attack, but his eagerness may have gotten the best of him, as he punched his way into an armbar, followed by a triangle choke that he was unable to extricate himself from.
"The one who doesn't fall, doesn't stand up," Emelianenko said after tapping out just 1:09 into the first round.
While he admitted that he got a little too focused on trying to put Werdum away with his striking, Emelianenko was as stoic and cryptic as ever when confronting the first true defeat of his career and what it might mean for his status as a legend of the sport.
"I was made into a kind of an idol," Emelianenko said in the post-fight press conference, where he showed up sporting light bruises around his eyes. "I'm a normal human being as all of us, and if it is God's will, the next fight I will win."
Werdum said he would be willing to grant Emelianenko an immediate rematch, or meet current Strikeforce heavyweight champ Alistair Overeem, who he beat in 2006, for the Strikeforce title.
"This man is the boss," Werdum said, motioning at Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker, who remained non-committal about who Werdum would face next.
In the women's 145-pound title bout, fellow Brazilian Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos proved why she came into the bout as the heaviest favorite of the night, battering challenger Jan Finney for two rounds until referee Kim Winslow finally halted the bout at 2:56 of round two.
Though Santos was docked a point for punches to the back of the head in the first round, there was never a moment when she wasn't in total control of the fight, overwhelming Finney with her striking assault and dropping her several times throughout the first two rounds.
Finney proved herself a game and eager opponent, willingly throwing herself into stand-up exchanges at every opportunity. Still, the fight seemed to go on longer than it needed to, as several times Finney found herself turtled up on the mat, offering no intelligent response to Santos' ground-and-pound.
In middleweight action, hometown favorite Cung Le avenged his loss to Scott Smith, dropping him twice with spinning back kicks to the midsection in the second round, finally finishing off his wounded opponent with a series of carefully placed punches at 1:46 of Round 2.
"I fought smart, let him come in, and he came into the power and he got caught," Le said. "Last time was his night, this time was my night."
Finally, Josh Thomson needed longer than many expected to dispatch fellow lightweight Pat Healy, but after two back-and-forth rounds he finally secured a rear-naked choke submission at 4:27 of Round 3.

After 14 years working for the Harrison Police Department, retired detective Marc DiGiacomo had a story to tell.
That story unfolds in the pages of "In a Small Town," a crime novel about a police detective fighting against a world of murder, rape and pedophilia hidden beneath the surface of a quiet Westchester community.
"I set out to capture the true essence of a police story," said DiGiacomo, 37, who retired from the Harrison Police Department in 2011. "Time and time again I have read books by famous authors, they just fail to show the realism of police work."
Set in Hutchville, NY, a fictional Italian-American community of about 10,000 people, the novel follows the story of Detective Matthew Longo, who is injured on the job and returns to find a growing element of crime in his community. Longo's story offers plenty of twists and turns as he battles corruption, crime and his own secrets.
With his partner Donny Mello away in Italy to attend the funeral of a family member, Longo is forced to answer questions from an FBI agent investigating his family business.
The book aims to capture "the dark stuff and grittiness of the job", DiGiacomo said. "From cover to cover, this book is as real as it can get for a work of fiction."
That realism is based on more than a decade of police experience. DiGiacomo said during his career he participated in investigations with agencies including the FBI and state police. Although the plot of the book is a work of fiction, DiGiacomo said he drew from that knowledge throughout the book to provide a rarely seen perspective.
"I would say I drew from lots of personal experiences," said DiGiacomo, who lives in South Salem. "Some stuff that I dealt with after the job and on the job."
DiGiacomo said he has had an interest in writing since high school, but wasn't able to find time during his active career. About a year ago he sat in front of a laptop and started writing.
"It just took off," he said.
One year later, the book is available online and in paperback.
"I really set out to write an amazing book," DiGiacomo said, "and I think I have."

The Herald Bulletin
FAIRMOUNT, Ind. —
Bengie Rodriguez's first season as Madison-Grant's baseball coach ended with a surprise Class 2A sectional championship.
Now all eyes will be watching to see what he does for an encore.
The Argylls open the 2013 season Tuesday against Wes-Del and will host Allendale (Mich.) on Friday before beginning play in the Nick Muller Memorial Baseball Tournament next week.
Just four starters return from last year's championship run, but the impact of bringing home the sectional hardware still is being felt in the program.
"Some kids already are talking about going back to regional," Rodriguez said. "Once you taste it once, you want to get back there again."
The Argylls' version of the core four — Tyler McClellan, Andrew Schwinn, Jacob Bair and Austin Purkey — gives Rodriguez a nice start. They'll be joined by a versatile group of youngsters, many of whom will be moving up from the junior varsity.
Among them: Dakota Brooks, Caleb Wybrew, Connor Michener, Alex Garringer, Justin Sollars, Cameron Myers, Luke Brown, Kyle Tobias and freshman Seth Nash.
Like many teams in the area, Madison-Grant has not been able to practice outside the confines of its gym this spring. So Rodriguez is looking forward to Tuesday's season debut.
"To be honest, I don't know how we're gonna look," he said. "We haven't seen the field yet."
The Argylls finished third in their inaugural Muller appearance in 2011, but lost to Pendleton Heights in the opening round a year ago. Madison-Grant opens this year's tournament on the road against the Arabians again.
"Everything we do is for the future," Rodriguez said. "This is a good tournament. It's good competition for us, too. We can see what we're made of."
The Argylls lost a productive senior class in David Anderson, Brady Franklin, Ryan Inglis, Heath Davidson and Kyle Massey. The team finished 15-13 overall in 2012, improving as the season wore on and peaking with a 7-5 victory against Tipton in the sectional title game at Eastern.
Even with all the turnover on the roster, there's a greater sense of continuity this time around. Rodriguez has had a full offseason with his team, and they in turn have a better feel for him.
The Muller tourney comes extremely early in the year, but Rodriguez sees it as another chance for his team to take a step forward.
"We're gonna go out and try to win it," he said. "But, if not, we're just gonna work on what we can get better at."

As I drive throughout the county on an almost daily basis, I can't help but take in the abundance of beauty. Whether it's a green pasture full of cows in Empire or a rusty old railroad trestle in Cordova, our county is full of wonderful aesthetics. I can't even describe the beauty of a sunset on Corridor X — a sight I get to see several times per week.
Unfortunately, Walker County's natural beauty is sometimes tarnished by the amount of litter along our roadways and in our parks. Many times, the same roads that are highlighted by God's amazing creation are also lined with trash.
An incident last weekend greatly brought our litter problem to my attention yet again. The family and I were traveling down Bryan Road in Sumiton near the city's community center. I noticed a handful of teenagers walking on the sidewalk in the opposite direction. Just as I noticed them, one of the teenagers nonchalantly tossed an empty soda bottle into the yard they were walking past.
I was immediately ticked off.
I honked the horn of our van as we drove by, but the group of teens just waved.
Something had to be done.
As we pulled to a stop at Main Street, I put the van in park, looked at Andrea and said, "I'll be back."
I got out of the vehicle, turned toward the thoughtless teenagers (who were probably 100 to 200 yards away), cuffed my hands beside my mouth and screamed "STOP LITTERING" to the top of my lungs. The teens turned, looking fairly concerned at this point, to see what crazy person was yelling at them. They picked up their pace as they walked away and I re-entered our van.
As I re-joined my family in the vehicle, I noticed all five of them had their jaws dropped. Even Joy, the 1-year-old, looked shocked. Andrea said, "What was that?"
With a straight face and in as serious a tone as I could muster, I said, "I can't stand litter bugs. They make my skin crawl."
About 10 seconds later, just as we crossed Main Street, my 7-year-old Breeze burst out laughing and in her best impression of me said, "STOP LITTERING!"
"I thought Dad was going to kill those kids," said Stone, our 9-year-old.
The entire car then burst into laughter. I'm sure Joy was fairly clueless to what had happened and she was even cracking up.
For the next 10 minutes, Stone, Breeze and Daisy would take turns saying, "STOP LITTERING!"
Many of you may be asking the same question my wife asked me as we drove. Why did a 30-something year old man find it necessary to scream at some random teenagers about their littering?
In a few years, my kiddos are going to be teenagers, and I don't want them to be disrespectful punks. They will probably find themselves walking down the street with some of their friends. If someone in that group decides they want to toss some trash down on the ground, I expect my child will think back to the time when they saw their dad let a bunch of random teenagers have it over an empty soda bottle. If strangers got me that fired up, imagine how upset I would be if my own children turned into litter bugs. Hopefully that will at least make them think twice about letting some trash hit the ground.
I look at littering as a matter of respect. If we have respect for ourselves and for the people around us, we should have the decency to hold on to a empty soda bottle, a paper wrapper or any other piece of trash long enough to find a proper trash receptacle. We should also have enough respect for our planet, our country, our state, our county and our city to put trash where it belongs — in a trash can.
I would like to officially start the "STOP LITTERING!" campaign in Walker County today. If you see someone littering, stop what you are doing and scream out, "STOP LITTERING!" If possible, go pick up the trash they had thrown down and put it in its proper place.
If my way seems a little too in-your-face, just do your best to not litter and pick up trash wherever you may see it.

More than 20 ex-pupils of closed Worcester school come forward following newspaper appeal
12:31pm Wednesday 9th April 2014 in News
MORE than 20 ex-pupils of a long-closed Worcester school have come forward following an appeal in your Worcester News.
Last month the paper reported a family of five brothers and sisters who all attended St Peter's School in Severn Street – which closed in the late 1950's – were hoping to get in touch with other former pupils to arrange a reunion after finding they were unable to track down any information about the school.
Susan Cole, formerly Dixon, attended the school along with her sister Gillian and brothers James, Bill and Barry and said 21 people had got in touch with her since the article but there were at least 60 others they had not yet heard from.
Any former pupils of the school can contact Mrs Cole on 01905 821 368 or email@example.com.

- Description
- Specifications
Perma-loc tape fittings are compatible with Toro Aqua-Traxx Tape, John Deere T-Tape and Chapin Tape.MPT x Permaloc Tape adapter used to connect drip tape to FPT (Female Pipe Thread).
About Drip Depot Perma-Loc Drip Irrigation Fittings:
Perma-Loc fittings are heavy duty reusable connectors, adapters and fittings for all your connection needs. They are very easy to use and require no special tools. Perma-Loc fittings are available for both Tubing and Tape. The Tubing connectors can be used on blank tubing as well as dripline.
- To use: Simply push tubing or tape over barbed end, then hand tighten locking nut over tubing or tape for a permanent secure fit.
- To Remove: Just loosen locking nut, pull tube off and re-use as needed.
Perma-Loc fittings look similar to traditional flange and locking nut plumbing connections however, in most cases they work differently. Unlike a typical locking nut which comes off the fitting and slides over the tubing, a perma-loc locking nut is usually not removed from the fitting. The exception to this rule are some of the larger 3/4" and above tubing fittings. Select a video from above to see how the perma-loc drip irrigation tubing and tape fittings work.

Tonight at 10 on Fox Sports 1 marks the premiere of the 18th season of The Ultimate Fighter, the long-running reality competition series that puts a bunch of up-and-coming mixed martial artists in a house and lets them duke it out for a shot at UFC glory. For the first time, half of the contestants will be female, and both mixed-gender teams will be coached by women: UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey and top contender (and personal Rousey rival) Miesha Tate. Rousey is a particularly important member of the current UFC roster, as she is seeing a tremendous amount of mainstream success since she debuted in the UFC earlier this year: She posed nude in ESPN The Magazine, appeared on the cover of Maxim, and will be showing up in the next sequels in both The Expendables and Fast and Furious franchises.
The premiere of season 18 is its first on the just-launched Fox Sports 1, which marks the third network for the show (it previously aired on SpikeTV and then FX). Through 18 seasons, the one consistent thread has been that of Dana White, the UFC president who also acts as the show's host, cheerleader, and verbal smackdown-layer. As noted in the current issue of Entertainment Weekly, the rise of UFC has a lot to do with White's skills as a promoter and a talker. EW caught up with White for an extended conversation about the current season of The Ultimate Fighter, the UFC's upcoming 20th anniversary (a documentary on its trip will air in November), and who his favorite celebrity fight fan is.

KXAS-TV5, an NBC-owned and -operated station serving the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area, recently completed a major renovation of its television studios. KXAS is the oldest TV station in the Southwest and posed unique renovation problems--the building that houses it has been designated an historic landmark by the state of Texas, and its studio had not been upgraded in 30 years.
The original configuration of the studio, which opened in 1948, resembled a motion picture soundstage more than a TV studio. The architectural plans for the building were adapted from plans for a high school, with the gym space becoming the studios. The last attempt to modernize the studio 30 years ago left KXAS with huge Kliegl SCR dimmer packs in the basement, a plug-in patch panel in the corner of the main studio, and a two-wire ungrounded electrical system.
Renovation of the Fort Worth facility included completely new wiring in the main studios, installation of Rosco/Entertainment Technology dimming and control systems, and a new lighting grid system. Design and implementation of the renovation was by William Merrill Lighting Associates (WMLA) of Arlington, TX, with TPS Inc. of Atlanta handling the sale of the equipment. The electrical contractor on the project was Reese & Associates Electrical Co. Inc. of Crowley, TX.
As the systems designer for WMLA, I had to address several unique issues in developing the renovation specifications and plans. The station produces 6-8 hours of news programming daily in the studio, as well as weekly sports shows, public affairs programming, and other shows. Understandably, station management wanted minimal studio downtime for the renovation. Also, the news set could not be dismantled or moved to allow work on the grid and electrical systems overhead.
The existing grid was woefully inadequate for the news and production needs of the station. Given the necessity for a complete rewiring of the studios and major structural work to upgrade the grid with the large news set remaining in place, a traditional approach to the project would have required taking the main studio down for a month or more. I decided to use Rosco/ET IPS distributed dimming to solve the problems, and the renovation was accomplished with only one week of studio downtime.
By working mostly on weekends, Reese & Associates was able to install a new electrical system and wiring conduits along the two catwalks which flank the main studio, with zero studio downtime. This new electrical system completely bypassed the old wiring and dimmers. Along the conduit runs, junction boxes were installed to provide forty 3-phase/ 20A outlets to power the IPS dimmers, along with 14 DMX outputs, fed by two Rosco/ET DA8 DMX distro amps, to distribute the DMX signal from the Pentium PC-based Rosco/ET Horizon Gold control system. Three-phase twistlock connectors on SO cable were installed at the junction boxes and left coiled on the catwalks. The DMX outputs were also on cable runs and left coiled on the catwalks.
Station personnel worked between newscasts prior to the start date to remove the drop ceiling system that had been installed above the studio years before. This exposed the original grid, which had been welded to the building superstructure. Lights in the production end of the studio were removed in advance. In a previous remodeling, a partial lower grid, inadequate for current needs, had been suspended from the original piping below the drop ceiling on a 10'x12' (3x4m) pattern.
On a Saturday morning in January, with a temporary newsdesk set up in the station's Fort Worth newsroom, Reese's electricians cut the power to the antiquated electrical system, energized the new system, and began demolition of the old Kliegl dimmers and patch panel. Under the direction of KXAS lighting director Libby Altwegg, station personnel removed the lighting over the news set while WMLA personnel began work on the grid at the production end of the room.
Between each of the existing lower grid pipes, WMLA installed new grid pipes hung from the original upper grid using piping and hardware supplied by Channel One Lighting Systems of Tulsa, OK. They then connected the two grid structures together, resulting in a new 4'x6' grid system with more than ample fixture hanging options. Concurrently, Reese's electricians replaced all of the old two-pronged twistlock plugs on the station's tungsten lighting fixtures with grounded twistlock connectors. They also installed new fluorescent worklights above the space.
Next, the Rosco/ET dimmer bars were installed on the grid, then the power supply cable coils were run out to the dimmers from the catwalks and secured along the grid pipes. DMX cables were run from the dimmer bars back to the DMX outlets. In some cases the DMX output boxes were mounted on the catwalks, in others they were brought out to locations on the grid, depending on the placement of the IPS dimmers.
Occasionally, promotional and HDTV spots are shot in the production end of the main studio with film-style electrical distro systems brought in by outside production companies. One advantage of the new power and control wiring configuration is that, if needed, both power and control outlets can be dropped from the catwalk level down to floor level to supply the distro boxes and to provide interface with the permanent lighting system.
Finally, under the direction of WMLA's Bill Merrill and Altwegg, the lighting fixtures were rehung and focused. In 1992, KXAS had purchased Videssence fluorescent lighting to light the newsdesks, in part because it could bypass the old two-wire electrical system with grounded house power available from a previous renovation of the station's office spaces. Due to a limited budget at the time, the Videssence lighting package had been designed and hung by Merrill with lightweight chains. As a part of this current renovation, Matthews telescoping hangers were purchased to replace the unwieldy chains. Final focus of the lights was completed on Friday and the station was again broadcasting from the newly renovated studios on Saturday.
Prior to the work on KXAS's main studios in Fort Worth, WMLA installed a small lighting grid and IPS dimmer system in the new Dallas news bureau, keeping both facilities on similar systems and allowing the flexibility of moving IPS dimmer bars between the two locations should the need arise. KXAS now has tremendous flexibility to expand or reconfigure its studio lighting system based on future needs.

18th September 2012: Birmingham (England); mini-pub-crawl.
2nd pint of the evening was in the Wetherspoons pub called 'The Brier Rose'. I enjoyed this immensely and found it to be far superior to its bottled version.
Same lovely dark ruby red body: this time the head stayed, a thick layer of tanned foam sat throughout the tasting.
Chocolate and coffee esters in the nose; carried on into the taste and then liquorice arrives to add extra flavours and balance. Malty molasses gave it some sweetness, which helped my enjoyment of the pint as I prefer the slightly sweeter brews to the hop bitterness some offer.
Richer and creamier than the bottle; this was a great beer and set me up for the rest of the evenings drinking.

Coming in a 500ml brown glass bottle, BB 20 August 2009, served cool in a straight imperial pint glass. * Notes: the label says this "traditional Scottish Stout" was awarded "CAMRA Champion Cask Beer of Scotland 2005", for its cask-conditioned version of course.
A: pours a black colour with a decently frothy tan head that settles to a thin cap to last throughout the drink.
S: a lively aroma full of dried black plums and roast walnuts dominates the nose; a closer sniff reveals the predominantly dark chocolate malts and roasted malts as a solid backbone, providing a thick malty aroma but neither cloying nor oily. The fruit-malt mixture is very enticing for a British (be it Scottish or English...) Stout.
T: sweet nutty dark malts caress the taste-buds with a really smooth-textured bitter-sweetness, against a lightly sour dark-fruity undertone and an enticing flow of earthy hoppiness. Almost herbally/licorice-ly bitter-sweet in the finish, with occasional chewy/dry-ish hints of both roastiness of malts and bitterness from hops, while more aromatic undertones stay deep down the palate.
M&D: although this bottle is apparently filtered and perhaps pasteurised, the texture remains very smooth on the carbonation side against a light+ body and a delicious but not quite complex flavour profile. All in all, I like this Stout for its integrity and a mild profile, which makes it a quaffable one in my book.

500ml bottle bought from The Vintage, Antrim...
Poured deep black with only the slightest hint of brown around the edges when held up to the light... mocha tan head poured pretty big and thick then faded slowly to thin covering... some good sticky lacing coats the glass throughout...
Aroma - Deep chocolate notes, roasted malts, light smoky traces, dark treacle sweetness, quite strong nuttiness, some creosote hints, sugary black coffee, some peppery notes, cardboard traces...
Taste Nice, quite sweet, chocolate maltiness... nicely roasted malts - not too much bitterness... milky / creamy notes, some rich fruitiness (black cherries, some blackcurrents), faint smoky hints, toasted nutty sweetness, light dustiness, some burnt dark brown sugar sweetness, nice pepperiness...
Feel - Pretty smooth and creamy with just a little spritziness coming through... pretty full bodied... A very drinkable stout at just 4.4% - could happily quaff a few of these in an evening...
Overall - A very good, nicely balanced and very drinkable stout... definitely recommended...

I really like this. At first I picked up a bit of a sour scent, but another whiff revealed choclatey malts, brandy and toffee. The beer is ruby-black with a tan head that formed a mound at the top of the glass.
Rich, chocolate and toffee taste with an ever-so-light sour, winey taste. This just tastes beautiful. A very rich stout, with a complex and excellent taste.
A very good, sessionable ale. A great accompaniment to me Scottish sausage.

From Tesco (£1.70 for 500ml):
Dark ruby, almost black and topped with a huge, foamy, dome-shaped head that is light brown and seems to get bigger the longer the beer is sitting.
Sweet with a few roasted malts to begin as expected along with some coffee and a nutty aroma too. Not the darkest stout on the nose with some nice fruit notes coming through too.
Sweet with the usual roasted malts and coffee with some chocolate and a few dark fruits as well and even a few hops coming through.
Light medium bodied beer, quite clean and almost watery with mild carbonation and a fair bit of bitterness along with a very slightly dry finish but nothing too severe with a good balance overall.
A little sweeter than I was expecting which was a pleasant surprise. There was a good balance and it was an easy to drink stout, the only real complaint was that it began to feel a little watery towards the tail end but other than that it was an enjoyable drink.

Colour is jet black, pours a heady foam of tan brown which recedes leaving a slight film and decent lacing.
Aroma has a lot of dark roast coffee, bitter dark chocolate, nuttiness. A lot of the roast malt comes through. Underneath perhaps some slight floral and fruity character.
Taste has got a good roast malt, with plenty of bitter coffee and chocolate. Roasted character is strong, but some nice underpinning flavours as well, apples, hay, all making it an interesting all-rounder. Nice complexity and overall stout profile.
Mouthfeel is moderate, drinkability is good, it isnt too heavy on the palate, rather a slight carbonation gives it a mild crispness. Dry on the finish.
A very nice, refreshing stout, not too heavy or overpowering on the palate, roasted and pleasant. Worth a try.

4.45/5 rDev +11.3%
Appearance: beautiful dark brown, opaque in the glass, nice big spongey layer of tan foam, good head retention, some lace
Aroma: faint wisp of molasses, roast, crackers, burnt caramel, malt, wee hint of diacetyl, coffee, hazelnuts
Flavor: scrumptiously balanced maltiness and roast, mildly sweet and bready, a bit tangy, dark chocolate, finishes dryish with an inviting aftertaste of malts and coffee
Mouthfeel: medium-full body, fine carbonation, silky texture
Overall Impression: Based on Wildcat and Stag, I was ready to write off Cairngorm as just an "OK" brewery. This "Scottish Stout", however, has really increased my opinion though! This is a fantastic stout with a perfectly balanced flavor. Sweetish at first, but dry in the finish. Highly recommended! It's a new offering from them, so availibility is probably limited still.

Pours pitch black with a nice big fluffy tan head.
The smell is milk chocolate, coffee and roasted malts.
The taste is milk chocolate, quite sweet, with some roasty coffee flavors.
The mouthfeel is medium bodied and silly smooth. The carbonation is low.
Overall a great sessionable beer, packs a lot of flavor for its abv.

Appears deep brown with reddish highlights. Tan head lingers on top.
Smells of roasted malt, coffee, some nuttiness. The taste is full, Rich roasted malt, coffee, nutty, chocolate, caramel. Really good. Long lingering nice slight biter aftertaste.
Medium body on this one - one of my top three at the fest - very drinkable.

Awesomely super easy medium tan rocky head. In the the glass there is a surprising wall of black . Coffee, tobacco, dark chocolate black bitterness which is very earthy are all well integrated yet emerge disappear and emerge over the length of each gulp. Not at all aggressive but firm and engaging and almost sessionable.
Had this satiisfying brewsky originally on cask when it won best Scottish cask beer back in 2005 but by British bottle standards this really is a triumph.

Purchased a 500ml bottle from the local Tesco in Stornoway.
The beer poured a very dark brown colour with a dark tan head. This was sizeable at first but it faded quite quickly to a thin film with decent lacing on the glass.
The beer gave off inviting aromas of roasted barley, nuts and burnt berries. These followed through to the taste with a malty hit followed by the berries and nuts with a tingly bitter aftertaste.
This is described as a stout and it lives up to it's name, a nice thick mouthfeel; a man's beer. Slightly sticky with a refreshing bitter afternote. Not a typical Scottish stout as they either tend to either sweet or quite bitter, but the Cairngorm brewery have struck a good balance here.
I thoroughly enjoyed the beer, one of the best examples of Scottish stout I have sampled. Stout is not my chosen beer style but I would sample this again, however too much of a dinner in a glass to drink all night.

On cask @ Guildford Arms, Edinburgh
Pours black with a slight ruby hue. Nice creamy tan head which leaves a goodly amount of lacing all the way down the glass.
There was a faint hint of sweet and roasted malts in the nose, but nothing which really stood out.
The taste was an initial roasted malt followed by a most unusual sweetness. Now I've have some sweet stouts before, but nothing that tasted like this. It was a huge diacetyl butterscotch wallop with hints of toffee and nougat. The best comparison I can come up with is the inside of a Crispy Crunch. Not sure whether I like it.
Nice smooth creamy and heavy mouthfeel.
I'm not sure about this beer. It certainly was not what I expected. On the borderline of being too sweet. Perhaps it'll work as a dessert beer, but certainly not a session beer. But, how many stouts are? The jury's still out IMO.

This is a pleasantly full-bodied beer, with a tan, lingering head. It's as dark as you'd like, too.
The taste is warm and rasty, with substantial sweetness and a background of basuc hops. The nose follows this closely.
Others here have identified toffee. Perhaps, but I get malt sugars plus butter - not generally a good thing in a beer. Whether that's intentional, a defect, or a problem in serving, I don't know.
For all that, this is quite tasty and easy-drinking.

A very good Scottish stout from an amazing brewery! Black Gold has quite a chocolatey coffee aroma. A soft coffee and chocolate tasting drink with hints of a bitter aftertone. Quite a flat bodied beer with a thin head which dissipates fairly quickly. Overall a fantastic beer, reasonably priced and easily found. This is a regular buy for me, I'd suggest checking it out if your into a nice heavy ale.

COUNTY, GA. (WRCB) -- Volunteers in Walker County are teaming up to make sure
families in need have food on the table this Christmas.
It's part of
the county's annual "Empty Stocking Fund."
Volunteers say this is something they look forward to year after year.
As the need
becomes greater, it's even more important to give back.
A warm
greeting, as volunteers in Walker County serve a helping of Christmas cheer to
families that don't have a lot.
"We're going to be able to supply those families with a good dinner for Christmas,"
says Billy Teems, with the stocking fund.
For decades, the Empty Stocking Fund has helped put food on the table for
families who may not otherwise have a good meal at Christmas.
This year,
the need is great.
"This year we had a record, about 750 applications," says Teems. "We're
probably up about 100 applications this year."
"I'm glad to see Walker County get this kind of relief, because everybody needs
it in Walker County," says Tammy Brock.
Families on
the receiving end are thankful.
"I really thank the community for all the love and everything that goes into
this," says Ron Watkins.
"It's just a blessing and an honor to get this, and be able to provide for my
family," says Arthur Wofford III.
volunteers appreciate the opportunity to take care of their neighbors.
"This community cares about them," Teems says. "The businesses, law
enforcement, fire department, local corporations care about this community."
The Empty
Stocking Fund is in its 39th year.
The program
started in 1973 in Lafayette and has expanded to all of Walker County.
The Empty
Stocking Fund is paid for by the United Way and other community organizations.
Law enforcement were out on the roadways making sure it was a safe Labor Day holiday for everyone.

Dear Developers,
First of all, I would like to express my appreciation for your efforts to reach appSIZED and submit your apps for review.
Over the past three years, appSIZED has grown quite a bit in terms of reach but remains a one woman show. I have full time work as a lawyer and have to contend with the demands of my job, my personal life and my love for writing.
Because of this, as sole contributor and editor-in-chief of appSIZED, I only have limited time and means to focus on game and app reviews. Please forgive me if I am unable to reply to your inquiries or accommodate your requests for review although I read all of them and evaluate which ones I feel fit what I have in mind for appSIZED. I also receive a number of promotional codes for apps which I feel could be better enjoyed by my readers.
Thus, to be able to aid you in promoting your app even though I may not be able to review it myself, I will be opening a section for promo codes where I will be posting, for public consumption, review codes of apps for my readers to enjoy. I hope that they will take the time to leave a review or rating on the App Store and even write a guest review for appSIZED. I feel that this is a good way to put your app out there without having to depend on a review from appSIZED.
It is your option to continue providing appSIZED with promo codes but unless I contact you personally to discuss reviewing your app, these shall be automatically submitted for giveaway.
I will do my best to help you promote your apps. At present, I have yet to formally monetize my site so there are no options for ad placements. I hope to work on this within the year, and revamp the appSIZED page accordingly.
Thank you for your time and continued support!
Founder, Editor-in-Chief and Girl Friday

East Peoria Mayor Dave Mingus is worried about the impact on the local economy if Governor Quinn signs the gambling expansion bill into law.
The bill allows for five new casinos throughout the state and slot machines at Chicago's airports.
Peoria and East Peoria share revenue brought in by the Par-A-Dice riverboat casino.
Mingus says adding a new casino just two hours away in Danville could hurt not just tax dollars, but tourist revenue and jobs.
"Competitive market certainly has its advantages, but when it comes to expanding gaming, it could have a true economic effect that won't be positive on East Peoria and our entire region," said Mingus.
There is no word yet on if Governor Quinn will sign the bill.
He is in favor of a casino in Chicago, but says the bill as passed goes too far.

LaPlace, La. -- School buses dot the parking lot of Lake Pontchartrain Elementary School on Highway 51, but there is no life on the campus. The building is clearly still gutted from floodwaters from Hurricane Isaac a year ago.
Up Airline Highway sits East St. John High School. With a lot of its campus still in disrepair because of storm damage only 9th graders are housed there; the school's 10th, 11th and 12th grade students continue to get their education at other schools.
Chanda Robinson, who lives in walking distance to the elementary school campus, has children affected by the slow recovery of the two schools.
"My 4-year-old who started Pre-K this year, she would have been attending Lake Pontchartrain Elementary," said Robinson.
Robinson's older daughter attends East St. John High School, but her classes continue to be held at another campus. "It's a little further out for her to have to travel and she said a little inconvenient because they have trailers, Robinson stated.
Money, school officials said, is the source of the problem. Specifically they point to a disagreement with FEMA over how much the school system should get in the wake of the hurricane.
"There's a huge difference in what FEMA is offering us and what we feel we need to put us back to where we were before Hurricane Isaac," said St. John School Superintendent Kevin George.
"Until we're assured of getting enough money to cover what needs to be done, we can't move forward on it at all," said School Board member Russ Wise.
Wise agrees with the superintendent that the elementary school is so damaged that it must be torn down. "If we can do that and use FEMA money and move it literally about 30 or 40 feet, then it will be high enough to avoid a flood like we had before," said Wise.
"I just think that it's imperative that FEMA give us the money to make us whole. We're not asking for a Taj Mahal, we want it back that way it was before the storm," stated George.
George's staff estimates there is a $17 million difference in what the school system says is needed to rebuild East St. John High, and it estimates $30 million is needed to build the new elementary school, but said so far FEMA has only offered $6 million for that project.
Robinson said it is especially frustrating for her daughter, who is a senior and was looking forward to returning to the school's campus before she graduates in 2014. "They did not want to have to graduate from this other school that they're redirected to, they would have preferred to graduate from their high school," she said.
But returning to the Airline Highway campus by then is seen as unlikely.
"Probably not, to be very honest, because where we are right now, we have to file an appeal with FEMA that could anywhere take from six to nine months to even a year," said the superintendent.
Wise is among the St. John Parish officials who met Wednesday afternoon with Louisiana's senior senator, Mary Landrieu (D-Louisiana), about recovery issues.
"She chairs the subcommittee that is responsible for FEMA and so she's got some clout in this area," said Wise.
As the school system works on its appeal of FEMA's offerings, Landrieu said an arbitration panel she helped create after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita could come into play in this situation.
"We're going to use that same ability to resolve this issue because the locals know best after a storm where is the best way to rebuild," said Landrieu.
Robinson and others who have children affected by the two schools hope there is progress soon.
"This is something that should have been addressed sooner and given the priority as far as attention," said Robinson.
School officials said they will continue to fight the federal bureaucracy to get what this community is entitled to in the aftermath of Hurricane Isaac.

On matchday, stay hydrated
On matchday, stay hydrated
Rain or shine, hot or cold, JELD-WEN Field is always packed and ready to rumble on matchday.
With all the yelling, chanting, flagwaving, pogo-ing and Tetris-ing to be had, it comes as no surprise that one may work up quite a thirst.
But did you know fans are allowed to bring their own empty water bottles into the stadium? And there's drinking fountains on both the west and east concourses as well as sinks in every restroom in the facility?
A quick look through other MLS stadiums as well as other major sporting facilities across the US puts JELD-WEN Field near the top of most accepting of outside water coming in. Moreover, JELD-WEN Field allows small amounts of food for babies and children.
It's a big match out there. Be sure to stay hydrated!

Democrat-led Congress' Secret Plan to Pass Obamacare - CONFIRMED
Original post made by ! on Oct 8, 2009
Web Link
Leaders in the House and Senate have a plan to pass President Barack Obama's sweeping health care plan by THANKSGIVING without any significant participation by the American public. CNS News has confirmed the details in our September 22nd titled "Passing a Shell of A Bill: Congress' Secret Plan to Ram Through Health Care Reform." Nicholas Ballasy reports "a senior aide to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) told CNSNews.com that it is 'likely' that Reid will use H.R. 1586a bill passed by the House in March to impose a 90-percent tax on bonuses paid to employees of certain bailed-out financial institutionsas a 'shell' for enacting the final version of the Senate's health care bill, which Reid is responsible for crafting."
This story confirms the four part scenario (below)
Web Link
on Oct 8, 2009 at 8:08 am
I sure hope that they use whatever means necessary to get it to pass for several selfish reasons I have. First, I am soon to lose my job because of the economy and my husband and I could retire if it were not for the cost of healthcare so if they can pass the public option I will go for it immediately. Secondly, my son and daughter in law just had a baby and even though they pay over 300 per month for coverage they still had to pay 1000 to leave the hospital for items not covered so they would drop their coverage and go for the public option as well so at this point I do not care how they pass it as long as it does pass. I have a question though. Since they are not going to address tort reform say something happens and the physican is part of the public option. Does the patient sue the govenment for the malpractice?
My other question pertains to Nancy Pelosi. what in the world is she doing with her mouth? She is constantly messing with her lips and teeth and looks like she is chewing cud but I cannot figure out if she has lipstick stuck on her teeth, her lips hurt, she is nervous, it is a habit, or she has had way to much nip and tuck???
on Oct 8, 2009 at 8:25 am
This article is very misleading.
The health care bills have been debated openly and publicly for months now. Make your criticism on policy, not straw-man intentionally vague procedural claims.
on Oct 8, 2009 at 9:25 am
If the bill was being snuck in, don't you think it would resemble the original proposals a lot more. Wouldn't the GOP and moderate dems be blocking it.
Isn't it funny when a poster one week says they are against something and the following week says that 'that something' is a secret?
How can you oppose a secret bill? Would you know it existed?
Reminds me of whe the Tea Party folks were screaming read the bill, read the bill, when the bill had not yet come out of commitee. Just a bunch of noise.
Too much cool aid! It must be a conspiracy, break out the tin foil hats!

SBA loans increase in Oregon district
Mar 24, 2013
SALEM — Oregon small businesses have received a record number of taxpayer-guaranteed loans for the second consecutive year, according to the U.S. Small Business Administration.
The agency in 2011 guaranteed $391 million in loans in its Portland District, which includes Oregon and part of southwest Washington. That jumped to $428 million in loans last year.
"We're on a record pace again this year," said Robert DuCotè, acting director of the SBA Portland District Office.
The Statesman Journal reports the size of loans also is increasing following an October 2010 change in loan limits. The previous limit was $2 million and that increased to $5 million.
Most SBA lending is made in its 7(a) program, and over the last two years, 2,745 of the larger loans were made in the country, including 26 in Oregon.
"Five years ago, the average loan was about $185,000," DuCotè said. "Today, it's over $300,000."
One recipient was Salem's First Call Home Health Care. The company constructed a new building that opened in southeast Salem in 2012.
First Call borrowed $4.4 million in two loans through a separate corporation called First Call Investment.
The company also doubled its employment from 80 to 160.
"On the home care side, we can hire another 50 very easily in the next six months," First Call CEO Jacob Mullins said.
In Oregon, 52 percent of loans and 62 percent of the loan money has gone to franchises. Among them are Dairy Queen, Subway, Travelodge, Quiznos and Best Western outlets.
"Franchising is a great opportunity. The SBA supports it a lot," DuCotè said. "It's a great way to get a business up and running."

NEW YORK — The Statue of Liberty reopened on the Fourth of July, eight months after Superstorm Sandy shuttered the national symbol of freedom, as Americans around the country celebrated with fireworks and parades and President Obama urged citizens to live up to the words of the Declaration of Independence.
Hundreds lined up yesterday to be among the first to board boats destined for Lady Liberty, including New Yorker Heather Leykam and her family.
"This, to us, Liberty Island, is really about a rebirth," said Leykam, whose mother's home was destroyed during the storm. "It is a sense of renewal for the city and the country. We wouldn't have missed it for the world."
Nationwide, Boston hosted its first large gathering since the marathon bombing that killed three and injured hundreds, and Philadelphia, Washington and New Orleans had large holiday concerts. A Civil War reenactment commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg drew as many as 40,000 people to Pennsylvania. In Arizona, sober tributes were planned for 19 firefighters who died this week battling a blaze near Yarnell.
Interior Secretary Sally Jewell, speaking at the reopening of the Statue of Liberty, choked up as she told the crowd she was wearing a purple ribbon in memory of the fallen firefighters.
"Nineteen firefighters lost their lives in the line of duty, and we as a nation stand together," she said through tears.
The island was decorated with star-spangled bunting, but portions remain blocked off with large construction equipment, and the main ferry dock was boarded up. Repairs to brick walkways and docks were ongoing. But much of the work has been completed since Sandy swamped the 12-acre island in New York Harbor, and visitors were impressed.
"It's stunning, it's beautiful," said Elizabeth Bertero, 46, of California's Sonoma County. "They did a great job rebuilding. You don't really notice that anything happened."

Burkhartsmeier replaces Ben Trujillo, who led the Knights to state playoff appearances in each of the past three years. Oñate didn't renew Trujillo's contact this offseason and has since named Burkhartsmeier as his replacement.
For Burkhartsmeier, it's his first head-coaching experience on the high school level. He's spent the past six years as an assistant coach, first at Las Cruces High under Matt Abney and then the last three with Trujillo at Oñate. Burkhartsmeier's daughter, Alexis, played at OHS before graduating in 2011.
"I was the one sitting back and watching. Now I'm the one doing the talking," Burkhartsmeier said of his transition to the head coach's seat. "But I also feel like basketball's all the same.
"I want to build good student athletes and good kids. I want to build good people, and basketball's a part of that."
During a phone conversation Thursday evening Burkhartsmeier stressed that theme, saying while he would "hate losing more than he likes winning," he added "my biggest emphasis right now is getting girls back on board. Get them back in the gym."
Burkhartsmeier has invited all Oñate students to open gym sessions he's holding from 6 to 8 p.m., Monday through Friday in an effort to build roster numbers.
Oñate girls basketball could be viewed as a difficult job locally. The Knights don't necessarily have the history and tradition of programs such as Mayfield or Las Cruces High, and now have another direct competitor with first-year school Centennial on the rise, an institution that leaves nothing behind from a facilities standpoint.
"We need to have fun again and we need to build good student athletes," Burkhartsmeier said. "Oñate is a great school. We need to get the program to where kids will play and have a good time.
"I want to build special student athletes and special people," he added. "That's what intrigues me about coaching basketball. If we can build a good program where everyone's involved, I think that will bring people to Oñate High School."

Was this a a professional thief carrying lock cutting tools? I want to know what I'm up against when if I visit downtown Mountain View.
on Apr 17, 2012 at 10:25 am
kongjie is a registered user.
Sounds more like a professional drug user looking for quick cash for another score. It would nonetheless be interesting to know if the lock had been cut, compromised, or if perhaps only the wheel had been locked and the thief was taking the frame and one wheel.
on Apr 17, 2012 at 10:30 am
Professional thug is more like it. Do NOT excuse this creep's violent acts either because he is a drug addict (which is a CHOICE!). Lock this bully up and throw away the key. It sounds like the pipe in the black plasstic bag... which thug thieves are using all over our communities. Let us come together and put these thug druggie thieves out of business permanently.

activities and attractions in St John's Newfoundland
In Bauline There are many fun, beautiful and interesting things to do inNewfoundland. We have listed some local things to do within walking distance from the Saltbox and some very useful suggestions forSt. John'sand the surrounding area. You will see that the city ofSt. John'sis very rich in culture, history, arts and entertainment.
Iceburg & Whale Watching Right from your own private deck!! You can kick back on a lounge chair, sip on a glass of wine and watch as Iceburgs and whales pass by. They are in abundance during the months of July and early August especially.
Fresh Water Swimming Hole Located 2 km up the road with a sandy beach and picnic tables…great for the whole family. The water is very clean and great to enjoy a day of swimming in.
Fishing For all of you fishing fanatics, make sure you bring your gear. Talk to the locals about the fantastic fishing opportunities, they are only too happy to help. You can fish for some tasty "brown trout" in the fishing hole just up the street and catch your evening meal. Or, cast a line off of the rocky point at the little harbor, just a stones throw away and catch some interesting ocean treats…..
Hiking Take an invigorating walk to the summit of a 1000-foot high mountain right behind you, this is where the picture was taken of the arial shot of Bauline (picture section). There are trails that will lead you to the top but please keep in mind that the path can be quite treacherous at times, it is a great cardio workout for you fitness enthusiasts and please be sure to bring lots of water and perhaps even a light snack to sit and enjoy the view. The hike takes approximately 3 hours up and down. Ask the villagers for directions.
Enjoy the local Fishing Community Bauline is a small, very active fishing village with many of the residence relying heavily on the daily catch to support their livelihood. Throughout the year, if you time it right, you can enjoy different ocean delicacies that are in season such as crab, lobster, squid, and if you are lucky, perhaps some other fresh "catch of the day".
The local Fishermen are a very friendly bunch, strike up a conversation and share in some interesting, entertaining stories.
Running, Walking and Fitness For many of our running-enthusiast friends and family, we challenge you to take the "Bauline Line" hill challenge! It is the road that you take to the Saltbox which doesn't seem too steep when you are driving down but wait until you start walking / running up!!! It is a great challenge for anyone looking for that extra "shock" to the system. For those of you who would like to enjoy this walk at a more leisurely pace, please make sure to bring water and don't push it too hard. You will see we also have a light bar bell weight set and fitness videos in the living room, please feel free to use them.
BerryPicking Bauline has a 1000 foot mountain that surrounds our tiny village and at the base of this mountain, there are beautiful fields full of assorted berries that are 100% edible. Each fall Rob and Francine go out with a couple large buckets and collect the ripe tasty morsels. We don't bake much but we get the "baking bug" in the fall and make amazing, berry filled pies. If you are lucky, we may have one left in our freezer for you to try…
Hikers will quickly notice the wide variety of berries. Cranberries, Bakeapples, Blueberries and Partridgeberries are abundant and have traditionally made up an important part of theNewfoundlanddiet. A day in the fields spent berry picking is the precursor to another in the kitchen preparing pies, jams, jellies and bottles of fruit for the winter.
Whale, Bird & Iceberg Watching Tours There are many boat tour operators inNewfoundlandoffering services similar to the trip that we enjoyed. For more information, you can call:

Read the meeting transcript
National Naval Medical Center Master Plan Update
(File Number MP059)
The National Capital Planning Commission approved a proposal by the United States Department of the Navy to update the Master Plan for the National Naval Medical Center (NNMC) located in Bethesda, Maryland. Per the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) action, the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, DC will close. Military medical services in the National Capital Area will therefore be split between the National Naval Medical Center and a new hospital at Fort Belvoir, Virginia.
The approved NNMC Master Plan will guide long-term development of the approximately 245-acre campus located on Rockville Pike in Bethesda. It is anticipated that by 2016 annual patients and visitors will nearly double and building square footage will increase from 4.7 million gross square feet to 6.35 million gross square feet.
See the Commission Action and Staff Recommendation
Square 101, Lot 874, 2013 H Street, NW Zoning Map Amendment
(File Number Z.C. 08-19)
The Commission advised the Zoning Commission that a proposed map amendment to change the zoning for Square 101, Lot 874 located on H Street, NW between 20th and 21st Streets in Washington, DC would not be inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan for the National Capital nor adversely affect any other identified federal interests. The map amendment would allow for an increase in allowable density on the site and remove a maximum lot occupancy requirement. The site's existing use would be expanded with a seven-story addition constructed next to an existing three-story building and carriage house.
See the Commission Action and Staff Recommendation
Marriott Marquis Hotel Consolidated Planned Unit Development and Map Amendment
(File Number Z.C. 08-13)
The Commission advised the Zoning Commission that a consolidated Planned Unit Development (PUD) and related map amendment to construct the Marriott Marquis Hotel on Square 370 at the corner of 9th Street and Massachusetts Avenue, NW in the District would not be inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan for the National Capital nor adversely affect any other identified federal interests. The PUD would allow for increased height. The map amendment would change the current split zoning.
The proposed convention center hotel would be located on an 82,888 square-foot site that would be connected to the Washington Convention Center by an underground tunnel. An existing seven-story office building would be renovated and incorporated into the project as a boutique hotel.
See the Commission Action and Staff Recommendation
BRAC 133 Project Mark Center Development
(File Number 6903)
The Commission approved the location and the preliminary and final building foundation plans for the new DoD Washington Headquarters Services complex, part of a BRAC-related item submitted by the Department of the Army for the BRAC 133 Project Mark Center Development. As part of the action, the Commission also commented favorably on the concept site and building plans for the project.
Per BRAC requirements, the Army is required to relocate offices and personnel to secure locations by 2011. As part of this effort, they propose moving 6,409 personnel from the Washington Headquarters Service and related support personnel to two new buildings on a secure 15.9 acre site in the Mark Center in Alexandria, Virginia. The Mark Center, an existing office complex, is located at the Intersection of Seminary Road and I-395.
The Commission recommended that the Army include planning for the location of a slip-ramp to I-395 from the south parking garage for federal employee traffic; conduct further design coordination with the City of Alexandria; complete the National Historic Preservation Act, Section 106 process for the north garage; submit a revised land use plan as part of the updated Fort Belvoir master plan; and continue to coordinate with the public.
See the Commission Action and Staff Recommendation
Consent Calendar: The Commission voted on Consent Calendar items without staff presentations or public testimony.
Delegated Decisions: Projects for which the Commission delegated decision-making authority to the Chairman, Executive Committee, or Executive Director.

My mother-in-law and my father were confronted with two different scams recently. I just want to tell you about them.
My father was outside in front of his house in Miami Beach. A young woman approached him and said she was collecting for an organization, something to do with the United Nations. My father is so giving—let's just say that all the homeless people in Miami know him by his first name—so he went inside and told his wife to give the woman a check for her organization.
As his wife was talking to her, she asked what organization she should make the check out to. Guess what? They do not take checks. The woman explained that they wanted their bank information and would withdraw the money directly from their account for deposit into their organization's account. They told her to leave.
My mother-in-law was looking for a parking spot at the Navarro in Sunny Isles Beach. She noticed a motorcycle about to leave a handicapped space and she drove near the spot to wait.
As the biker pulled out, he told my mother-in-law to roll down her window. She did, and he accused her of hitting his motorcycle. She was waiting for the spot, so she was never near his cycle.
He asked for her papers, and she wouldn't give them to him. He said he was going to call the police, and she said "good idea."
So she waited and waited; he approached her again and said the police were taking too long, that she better stay there and he would come back with the police. After a while, a Navarro employee asked what's wrong, she told him and they called the police.
We think he was trying to see if my mother-in-law would give him money so he wouldn't "call" the police. The biker never came back, and the police, who came pretty quickly, said they never got a call about this.
Just when you think you heard it all, here is a scam that came to me from Scambook.com, the online complaint resolution platform:
With many people moving during the downtime of summer months, scammers are exploiting this confusing time by offering unnecessary "change of address" services. Third-party companies claiming to represent the U.S. Postal Service offer to help consumers register a new residential address, resulting in unexpected monthly charges of $17 to $24.
Scambook has received over 300 complaints about "change of address" sites from consumers across the country, centralized in Florida, California, Arizona, Oregon, Washington state and Texas.
Individuals are receiving an initial processing charge of $1, followed by unwarranted monthly charges for additional services they did not knowingly purchase. Many have also experienced difficulty contacting the sites' customer service departments to cancel the unwanted subscriptions.
To avoid doing business with these third-party services during a move, Scambook recommends consumers only to use the official U.S. Postal Service change of address site by visiting https://moversguide.usps.com.

Black Corynth Grapes Recipes
Mulberry Pavlova with Black Corinth Grapes
Pavlova is an easy dessert that consists of a meringue base coated with whipped cream and topped with fresh fruit. I used what's in season and flavored the dessert with freshly-picked black mulberries from our garden and garnished it with black Corinth grapes. For a nice contrast in color and flavor, I decorated it with crushed pistachios and toasted coconut flakes.
You can prepare the meringue way in advance and assemble the dessert at the last minute. I prepared the base in the morning and later in the day, I sent the girls to get messy and pick the gorgeous mulberries. Once they were slightly crushed, a delightful, naturally slightly thick syrup oozed out. With just a little assembly, the dessert was ready to be served right away.
My second cookbook, Banh Mi, is officially out! You can find it on Amazon or in any Barnes and Noble store. Thanks so much for your support!

CATEGORIES Drama, Independent, Celebrities and Controversy, DIY/Filmmaking, Cinematical Indie, Movies, CinematicalIf you're still reeling from Britney Spears' performance at the MTV Video Music Awards last week, it might help to remember that it really was just the latest in a series of headlines calling out young celebrities for making fools of themselves. So, it was only a matter of time before someone decided to make a movie about it. The LA Times reports that independent film producer Joe Nasser is in pre-production on Hollywood Brats, an indie drama based on the so-called 'celebutards'. You might recognize Nasser from his work as the producer behind the somewhat sleazy Anna Nicole Smith biopic. Nasser is basing Brats on what he calls "the public record". Which I would think is no easy task considering the amount of half-baked gossip surrounding these gals.
According to Nasser, Brats will be "...all about these girls in Hollywood getting into trouble...You see them all go to jail, you see them get arrested, you see them go through trials and tribulations". Nasser says that he will use real celebrities in his story, but could not confirm whether it would be the 'unholy quartet' of Britney, Paris, Lindsay, and Nicole. My guess would be that he's waiting to see if anybody sues first. Although, Nasser seems confident that he won't be facing any legal action, saying, "As long as we stick to the truth, we're in good shape." Brats is scheduled to start shooting in Hollywood this October -- and then probably to a discount DVD bin near you. Hmm, unless you're willing to pay 10 bucks for something you get for free on Entetainment Tonight.
