"Learning Portuguese with your Android device"

Browse through the units and do the exercises
Learn Portuguese with busuu.com is an android application based on the website with the same name, in which you can practise your Portuguese from a beginner level to an advanced intermediate level.
In the main menu, you can choose to start a Course by tapping on Course Selection. Then, you can choose the level and start with the units. Each unit has 3 sections: the first one, with pictures and small explanatory texts about the main topic, a dialogue between people and some questions regarding it and finally a review, in which you can answer questions that cover everything you've seen in the previous sections. You can also choose to listen to the text instead of reading it, or doing both at the same time.
Back to main menu, you can continue your course right where you left it or choose to overview the mistakes you made during the tasks you were given, which is rather useful.
The main disadvantages of this learning application are the following two: firstly, in tablet devices you can't see the complete questions: you only see a part of them and it's kind of hard to do some of the exercises. Second of all, some of the units are paid features and you need to buy them on the market, so not everything's free.
Useful application for Portuguese learners, but it should be fixed for those using a tablet and some of the exercises should be reviewed. Maybe they could add an extra level for kids who don't know anything about Portuguese but like to play around with their parent's devices.

I like that I can do one lesson in a short break in my day. Each lesson or segment targets listening, reading, and writing, and does so in a way that one can be successful. It's a good way to get daily exposure to the language. I like that there's a lot of lessons, with a good breadth of topics, not just the usual travel scenarios. Also, the lessons generally have vocabulary ranging from basic to
This app makes learning easy and fun. I love it, and it running smoothly on my HTC OneX.
Wonderful app!
It doesn't seem to sync with your account, however, so you will have to repeat lessons or just use it to practice things you've done before. Overall busuu is a terrific and fun way to learn a new language and meet lots of nice people.
I really like this app. I have a hard time learning new languages but this app keeps me motivated. easy to use and progressive so I dont get bored. Love it
Wish you could see what you type on the typing portion of the course. But if you don't learn with courses other users will make it much easier and fun.
Its great!

Mike Flood pulls out of Governor's race
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) _ Nebraska's outgoing Speaker of the Legislature Mike Flood is bowing out of the governor's race less than a month after he declared he was running.
Flood said Thursday in a statement posted online that he is withdrawing from the 2014 race to care for his family because his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer this week.
Flood is a respected Republican lawmaker who helped broker compromises on difficult issues while leading the Legislature. But term limits are forcing him to leave office.
Current Gov. Dave Heineman cannot run in 2014 because of term limits. Republican Lt. Gov. Rick Sheehy is running for the governor's job.

UPDATE: BENDIGO residents are sweltering through the second heatwave of the year, with temperatures staying high for at least another two days.
The mercury has already topped 41 degrees this weekend, as residents pour into the local pools, the redeveloped Bendigo Library and Bendigo Cinema to avoid the heat.
Bendigo experienced temperatures of 40.6 degrees on Friday and 41 degrees on Saturday, with an expected top of 43 degrees today.
Residents will have to swelter through one more day of heat tomorrow too, with a forecast top of 41 degrees.
It has been declared another Total Fire Ban day, with the CFA reminding people it is illegal to light a fire in the open air without a permit.
CFA Loddon Mallee community education co-ordinator Paul Tangey said people should not rely solely on warnings when it came to fire danger.
"People need to check the conditions and keep up-to-date with what is happening in their area," he said.
The RACV is also calling on Victorian motorists to ensure children are not left unattended in cars as the hot weather continues.
Road user behaviour manager Melinda Congiu said RACV roadside assistance patrols faced increased demand from members due to vehicle breakdowns in the heat, meaning the message was ever important.
She said RACV patrols had already rescued 48 children and pets from locked cars since January 1.
"While RACV prioritises call-outs to vehicle lock-ins, the few minutes it can take for a patrol to reach the scene can make an enormous difference when temperatures are extreme," she said.
"It can only take a few minutes for a child locked in a car with that temperature to become seriously ill or die due to heatstroke or dehydration."
Bendigo Health will release figures of heat-affected patients that attended the hospital today.
EARLIER: AS temperatures soar this weekend, Golden Square residents are making the most of the local pool, which was saved through community efforts late last year.
The pool was packed yesterday, with several local families staying cool in the water.
Golden Square resident and councillor Elise Chapman spent the day teaching her daughter Blayze to swim.
Cr Chapman said the pool was worth fighting for.
"There's no doubt all the hard work was worth it," she said.
"We've had 8500 visitors through the pool this summer since the pool opened.
"At our record in the past we hit 10,000 people and we're hoping to get there again."

- Fresh & DeliciousAlianogDined on 8/29/2014The title says it all. The crudo we ordered was simply seasoned and delicious. The main course dishes were equally delicious - we had the pork and the fish. Both were fantastic. My fish was fresh and the seasoning complimented it beautifully and didn't overpower the dish. The pork was tender and juicy. I highly recommend this place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent SeafoodIlovebeefVIPDined on 8/28/2014The crudo at Barchetta is absolutely one of the best I've ever had. Be sure to have the crudo flight for $28 to get a great variety of incredibly fresh fish. All other entrees, including the cooked fish are done to perfection. Cocktails are also excellent and well balanced. Wonderful and lively place to celebrate!Special Features:
- Great fish!globalgirlDined on 8/23/2014As someone who's spent alot if time in Japan and the Mediterranean area, I love fresh fish. This place has great fish. Not quite as good as those places, but darn close. The sever was excellent. The place is lacking a bit in atmosphere. But if it is good fish you are after, this us the place.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pescatorial PleasureEggHeadDined on 8/22/2014Excellent service; excellent food; thoroughly enjoyable. Arrived VERY early--5 p.m. because we had to--to an empty restaurant--and were shown to "the best table in the house," which it probably is, looking out an arched window onto the beautiful, rear-yard greenery of the London Terrace Apartment building. Our waiter assured us we were his favorite table (we were the only one at the time) and was very helpful with descriptions of menu preparations--95% seafood (Barchetta is an offspring of Esca), and persuasive about the evening's special which was truly excellent and, serving three, well-priced. Every food item was imaginatively and thoughtfully made with little twists indicating attention to little details that make a big difference.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- deafeningPortenduereDined on 8/20/2014The level of noise in the restaurant is simply beyond. No conversation or enjoyment of the great dishes and service is possible.Special Features:
- GreatOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/16/2014We had a very exquisite experience from the moment we entered until we left. Our waiter, who was from Slovenia, was incredibly nice and knowledgeable. He made the experience of dining at Barchetta even better.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Requested Booth;Noisy KitchenOpenTable Diner Since 2003Dined on 8/15/2014I live in the neighborhood and have had eaten at all of the restaurant iterations at this location, so I know the space well. I specifically requested a booth and instead we were given a table right in front of the kitchen door. Great. I asked for the booth again before we were seated (it was set for 3) and was told both booths were reserved (for who? a party of 2). The table was all to be expected, very busy, noisy and new waiters dropping and breaking plates. Not a great experience. Bad table and the place wasn't even full. Unless you live in the neighborhood, I would not make the trip out. Food is fine for NYC but it does not overcome the bad front of house.
- AdrianaVIPDined on 8/15/2014Great food, great service. A nice surprise. The "grilled orata" was simply delicious!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A great find!!OpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 8/9/2014We chose Barchetta primarily based on location and reviews, but we will definitely choose it in the future for the delicious food and wonderful service! With so many choices it's nice to find a restaurant in NYC that you would want to visit again. We will definitely return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BonnieVIPDined on 8/8/2014We were very pleased with our first dining at Barchetta. We dined early, in part to avoid the most negative complaint that the restaurant is too noisy and we succeeded. Everything we ordered we would order again: grilled octopus, lobster with pasta and crab with pasta. Red wine from the Piedmont enhanced the entire meal. Many events take us to Chelsea; we'll be back.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Just fineAP11VIPDined on 8/7/2014The restaurant looks nice and the atmosphere is pleasant but it was so loud in there we couldn't even hear our waiter. The food was good, just good.
- Tough but tender choicesBigrosieDined on 8/2/2014Although the shared entree of black bass was wonderful, the number, variety, and quality of crudo and appetizers is awesome. We were amazed when we counted up the sheer number of courses we had ordered and consumed. Leaning towards preferring Barchetta before Esca, with its cumbersome menu. One page is quite enough at Barchetta.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic FishYummyVIPDined on 7/29/2014We are very lucky to have this awesome new neighborhood addition. The menu is exciting and constantly changing. The prices are reasonable, especially the wine list which is interesting, well-organized, and filled with lots of delicious choices under $100. All of the fish dishes are memorable. The whole sea bass, the monkfish, and the salmon were all excellent. The flights of crudo (think sashimi from an Italian POV) are succulent with just the right hint of seasoning. We have been 5 times since it opened and will keep going back!Special Features:
- Delicious!discerningdinerVIPDined on 7/28/2014The food was excellent, even better than Esca! Try the whole grilled pompano. The crudo flight was a lot of fun. Up to the minute food, expertly prepared, warm service, very interesting Italian wine list, including some fun wines by the glass.Special Features:
- The mixed reviews are wrongJuv3001VIPDined on 7/26/2014I read mixed reviews before trying this Mediterraneanesque seafood gem, most regarding the noise level, the darkness or the service. I can safely say that I disagree. We had an absolutely fantastic meal here with wonderful service and great ambiance. It wasn't full so the noise level was okay and the wine selection and knowledge of the staff regarding the wines was exceptional. We loved our experience and the food and cannot wait to visit again. One of the highlights was the pompano, very fresh and a rare find in nyc. Also the dessert was fantastic, a butter cake that was more like a delicate italian pastry. The prawns appetizer was also a standout. Many more delicious options that I can't wait to try on a return visit!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious dinner!LoxannaVIPDined on 7/25/2014Fish lovers run, do not walk, to enjoy creative and delicious preparations at Barchetta. We enjoyed the grilled octopus appetizer and the sardine appetizer, as well as entree preparations of pompano and black bass. We were less excited about the crudo sampler - one small piece of 6 different fish - we probably should have picked one or two full crudo selections. Lots of choices on the wine list, and the server was helpful with suggestions on wine options.Special Features:
- Great seafood but INSANELY LOUDthegforcenyVIPDined on 7/23/2014GREAT crudo tasting, two different whole fish options (for one or two people) and a few other fish entrees. House made seafood pastas, interesting and appetizers. Varied, high quality wine by the glass program, and dessert wines. Speaking of dessert, talented pastry chef. Loved it. BUT, insanely loud room.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 7/22/2014crudo was good, but rest of the meal was unimpressive. Restaurant is also very dark - this restaurant you can skip!Special Features:
- great addition to West ChelseaOpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 7/20/2014Esca has always been a favorite restaurant and now we have our own version in West Chelsea. Great food, great service. Warm and friendly. Christopher was the best. Enjoy before it gets mobbed.
- Italian seafood gem in ChelseaChelseafoodfiendsDined on 7/20/2014The best of both worlds, a neighborhood gem and destination restaurant. The crudo is delicious. Everything is beautifully prepared and presented. A seafood lover's delight. Salads and vegetables are seasonal and divine. The service is warm, friendly and welcoming. As Chelsea locals we're thrilled the "little boat" has docked!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding addition to ChelseaabracadabaVIPDined on 7/18/2014We had a great dinner here on Friday night. All of the food was superb. We especially enjoyed the tomato salad and the grilled octopus but can't imagine a bad choice on the menu.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ROCK STARmedwinshopVIPDined on 7/16/2014so simple yet so good, awesome crudo plate to start something called "moonfish" Had a solid bavette with jumbo lump crab meat with zucchini flowers and finished with semifredo with local blueberries. Easy beautiful and elegant, i dug the whole thing except the noise its a loud one.
- Loved this place!OpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 7/14/2014We have always loved Esca but this is even better and more our style. No pretense, no frills, just really incredibly fabulous food in a great setting. I had the "crudo" tasting menu to start and it was amazing. I have never had fresher or more carefully selected fish and each bite was full of flavor. Everybody at my table had an equally great experience with what they ordered. Shark was a wonderful main course and the vegetable sides were so fresh and delish. Chef Dave came to visit us at our table just to see how we were doing and we had a really fun conversation with him. We will be back here again and again.Special Features:
- Crudo is a hit!MaxGomezVIPDined on 7/12/2014Outstanding meal. If you love crudo this is the place. The crudo tasting is a great way to experience the wide variety of offerings on the menu. The fettuccine with lobster pasta was perfectly served with lots of lobster. The wine list although not as extensive as other places offers is well thought out at reasonable prices. Service was excellent and the atmosphere welcoming.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointingPeterVIPDined on 7/11/2014Despite enthusiastic service and a great location and remodel, and notwithstanding really wanting to like Barchetta, our experience was disappointing. The smell of seafood knocks you over when you enter, and not the good kind, more like raw-bar-in-the-face. The crude sampler had some interesting bites, but overall was monochromatic. Similar issues infected my tuna steak--nice piece and perfectly cooked, but bland and uninspired. My wife's roasted greens salad was an over-salted, over-oiled tasteless mess. The bread was wonderful, as was the inventive desert, but the good was not enough to overcome the bad.
- Ok food, service lackingJJH3Dined on 7/8/2014We were a table of four and waited 30+ minutes for a table on a Tuesday night despite the reservation made five days in advance. The cocktails at the bar were expensive given that the bartender used a jigger to measure the liquor precisely which resulted in weak drinks. The food was fine and our server seemed very professional but hindered by an inefficient kitchen.
- Great food; noise level hurts!FlatironGourmandVIPDined on 7/8/2014We reserved for dinner on a Wednesday night. It was a birthday celebration. The food was fantastic -- creative, interesting and delicious. The room was beautiful, with a wonderful art collection. However, the noise level was so loud, it would qualify for an OSHA violation. My dinner companions literally had to scream at each other to be heard over the roar. Failing that, we resorted to texting each other. Until this restaurant gets the noise issue under control, I'd recommend ordering take-out, if they would do that.Special Features:
- disappointinglive2eatVIPDined on 7/1/2014This restaurant is very disappointing. The noise level is extreme. One has to shout at the person less than a foot away to be heard. How is that anybody's idea of a good time? the food is just okay. I find this hard to understand after enjoying so many fine meals at Esca and Il Pesce, Pasternak's other restaurants. Both times I dined at Barchetta, Pasternak was at the restaurant so I find it hard to understand the difference in the quality of the food. When I order crudo at Il Pesce I am always thrilled and delighted but found it to be so so at Barchetta. Same with my appetizer of grilled polpo and whole mackeral. I hope something is done about the noise level. Get in there Dave and start cooking. I want this restaurant to succeed.
- table for 3, please.Neighbor455LondonTerraceDined on 6/30/2014Food was fantastic; even the 'simple' Arugula salad exploded with flavor and still remains a "talking-point" when discussing high points of recent dining. the Pasta (spiced tomato sauce) was 'spot-on'; my friend who dined with us stated that it was 'on-par' with the Pasta in her travels in Venice... and those were just the Appetizers!.Special Features:
- SonnafaDined on 6/28/2014This spot is beautiful and the staff were all impeccably friendly and helpful. The food itself was solid and tasty and the rotating menu ensured that the seafood was all very fresh, but there were some technical inconsistencies that impeded our enjoyment a bit (we each had several pieces of crudo to start and one of us had sinewy bits in every single piece, another crunched into a couple of scales). The whole fish was excellent and definitely worth trying as well as a couple of the heartier pastas. The drinks and desserts were also stunners. I'd recommend this spot if you're in the neighborhood and enjoy good seafood, but it's no Le Bernardin.Special Features:
- Really great!NycresidentDined on 6/28/2014Fantastic Saturday night meal for 2 couples. Was nervous after reading uneven reviews in blogs, but Barchetta seems to have taken criticism to heart and ironed out all the kinks. Service was professional, accommodating & warm. Crudo apps were excellent (fresh & well cut), as were the whole orata, salmon and vegetarian beet ravioli entrees (beet ravioli was surprisingly tasty). Desserts were also all above par, and we are usually disappointed by NYC restaurant desserts. Corntorni were the only weak spot - fingerlings were great but root veggies and greens not as good. Atmosphere was casual chic, a bit loud but not overbearing. They brought the whole fish out to the table before taking it back to fillet - a classy touch. We would return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great accommodating serviceFavneweatsVIPDined on 6/25/2014Great food great service feels like a pub atmosphere so a bit incongruent but I like the casualness. Best sommelier, host, hostess, servers!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fish at its freshestDavidfDined on 6/24/2014Everything we had was perfectly cooked, great combination of seasonal fish and innovative cookingSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good foodMianyDined on 6/23/2014But you may leave hungry. I'm a fan of small plates but I spent an awful lot of money ($170 with tip - three glasses of wine one dessert) and actually left hungry. Ok we know raw fish isn't filling but a little more generosity on the pasta should be a no brainer. Leaving hungry took away from what I think would probably have been a more enjoyable experience. If you want to stay in the neighborhood for a long time, take a cue from Red Cat.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice place to wander intoFeasterVIPDined on 6/22/2014Delicious, and like it's predecessor, a perfect opportunity to provide an elegant culinary experience but the MUSIC IS TOO LOUD. It has all the trappings of a romantic place but misses a trick with the noise level. This is the same group as ESCA in Hell's Kitchen so food is really good.Special Features:
- Can't say good thingsHauntsandJauntsDined on 6/21/2014Everything we ate was phenomenal!!!!! Service is excellent, they really care about what they are doing here. Can't wait to go back and try a whole bunch of other things. One of the best restaurant meals I've had in a while.Special Features:
- Superlative TerritoryFildinerVIPDined on 6/20/2014Barchetta has an unbelievably good kitchen. Every dish was impeccable. We had charred veggies, grilled octopus, crispy troutlings, cavatelli, ravioli, and roasted sea bass. For dessert, we had rhubarb crostata and cheesecake. When the last crostata flake was scraped off the plate, we looked at each other and said, "Damn, THAT was a meal." Unfortunately we were so uncomfortable at our table that it was hard settling down to even order. The noise was so loud I couldn't hear the person next to me. Our table of five was in front of the stairs and was constantly jostled by passing waiters and guests. The Barchetta's cooking is the kind that induces a state of well-being. The interior design and noise are designed to do the opposite.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Terrible, skip this oneLuv2eatDined on 6/16/2014The bread was stale, the crudo fish ok but definitely nothing special. I took the tuna as a main which was totally overcooked - approaching mush. My husbands lobster pasta was short on lobster and long on 'bland and dry'. We took one veg side of chard - it came dark green and overcooked like it just got dumped out of a can, yuk. A totally disappointing experience - for the price you can do SO much better - this is Manhattan after all! This restaurant doesn't belong here, save your money and taste buds.
- Good food & service but ...MK48Dined on 6/16/2014It's a shame when the food and service warrant a return visit but the ambiance is so irritating that you know you won't return. it's so dark that you can barely read the menu or see what you're eating and it's so noisy you have to yell to be heard.Special Features:
- And there is the foodabferrariDined on 6/16/2014There was some buzz about opening of this restaurant but my expierience there was very disappointing. Service was great but food is simply terrible. I hope they will fix food issues soon because it would be great to have this restaurant around. As it stands today I will not be back. Spend your money elsewhere!

Brilliant gold with a white head. A nose like someone who was allergic to blueberries ata a quart in the next room an hour ago - a background smell (maybe it's the blueberries mixed with the Ringwood) that I found distinctly unpleasant.
The flavor is blueberry all the way through, in good proportion to the wheat & malt. Definitely grows on you as you drink it. The finish is a nice blueberry - wheat grainy malt balance. A very tasty fruit wheat beer, once you get past the nose. Definitely better straight from the bottle IMO.

Blueberry, that's what this beer is. The aroma is overwhelmingly blueberry with some malt. It starts sweet and becomes a blueberry flavor. There is no bitterness and finishes slightly dry. This is very drinkable if you like blueberry and don't like beer taste you'll like this.

Presentation: 12 oz. brown long neck with the freshness date clearly marked.
Appearance: Clear light yellow gold with a very thin ring of lace.
Smell: Mild esters, subtle blueberry and some malt sweetness in the nose.
Taste: Crisp with a balanced blueberry flavour that fades quickly, some sweetness from the malt and a light spicy bite from the grain and hops. Hop bitterness is relaxed yet proportioned nicely.
Notes: A pretty good fruit ale with some character on the side.

OK... call me names if you want - I actually really like this beer! Among the "fruity" beers, this is actually one of my favorites. I suppose that could be due to the lack of blueberry beer options in the Hartford area... but... I still like it!
It pours light and translucent a yellowish gold color and it definitely smells of blueberries, with a somewhat hoppy smell as well. There is a pale off white colored head. The blueberry flavor is just a little sweet (perhaps too sweet for some, but that's why I like it!). I guess it sort of comes off tasting like a light beer but with the blueberry flavor. It feels smooth in your mouth and it goes down smoothly as well - it is a fast drink. It's cool and refreshing and now that it is getting warmer out I will likely enjoy it on a hot summer day.

On tap at the Half Door on Hancock Street in Quincy, Massachusetts 6/24/05.
Clear golden color, tiny head with some lacing. Pleasant smell of blueberries, assuming of course the smell of blueberries is pleasant to you, as it is to me. Taste is of plentiful blueberries with the first few sips, but the flavor fades after that.
A refreshing beer and nice change of pace.

Appearance: clear, no head, dark gold
Smell: sweet blueberries and wheat
Taste: very blueberry
Mouthfeel: sweet, light, and smooth
Drinkability: This to me is the standard bearer of blueberry beer...If I have a fruit beer, I want to be able to taste the fruit it represents. For the style I believe this is the best at what it does..While it is sweet, I can drink this year round for a nice dessert beer or a session beer...I like it and think it is one of the best fruit beers I have had...For as much as I like it in a bottle as I had it for this review I love it on tap more.

Opened up this wheaty-micro from Bangor,and immediatly smelled much Maine wild blueberry. Poured in a pilsner> glass, it was a nice clear, light, gold color with a thin disipating head. A fine head was maintained ,with a medium carbonation rate. Taken to the nose , very floral hops and strong presense of definate blueberry. Smelled like it could be a breakfast cereal. Blue , flowery taste, with light maltiness. Medium bubbly mothfeel. I found This Sea Dog to be very drinkable although i would not drink many as im not really into the fruity ales. Of the ones i've had its the best. At 4.6- 4.95 ABV , normal pleasant effect to the brain and senses was achieved.

Poured from a bottle into a pint glass.
Appearance: Golden yellow color with a thin white head, no lacing.
Smell: Blueberries, honey, and wheat.
Mouthfeel/Taste: Smooth light bodied. Taste of mild blueberries, alcohol and maybe some honey on the aftertaste.
Overall: Good, average blueberry beer. Nothing special, but not bad. Worth a try if you have the chance.

Tap @ The Bell In Hand. Smells and tastes like blueberry cake with powdered sugar. Pours gold with a little white head. The wheat back does come through on this beer, which is nice, but the blueberries make it just too sweet. At the same time, it is nice to have a fruit beer that has real beer flavor in it.

This beer may not appeal to the seasoned beer connoisseur, but it will be your guilty pleasure, and your wife/girlfriend will love it. This beer goes down so smooth and so easily with an incredible taste of fresh blueberries that you won't think you're drinking beer. Is this beer?
Appearance and mouthfeel are adequate, but who am I kidding? This beer is all about the taste and the smell. I can open a bottle of this 20 minutes before my girlfriend gets home from work and the instant she walks in the door, she knows that I've been drinking this beer (and she wants one).
This is an easy drinking, high quality beer that I can't say enough good things about. I love it.

Appears a pale golden tone with a quickly dwindling white head leaves minimal lacing. Aromatics it has a tart blueberry with sharpe wheat accents kinda a dry woody tone as weell. Flavor not overly sweet with the blueberry, a nice balance of sharp acidic wheat notes and mild blueberry flavor not like the common alco pop versions that are always at brewpubs. Mouthfeel is light body evenly carbonated easy drinking summer time feel. Drinkability not one I would drink in number but not a bad version very solid for the style.

The Toronto Blue Jays are a walking disabled list. Seriously — click here and scroll down to the Jays team listing. Pretty soon, they'll petition to have the 60-day DL renamed the "Blue Jays 60-Day Disabled List".
Jays righthander Drew Hutchison, who left a start on June 15 with an elbow sprain, was trying to rehab it, not throwing for four to six weeks and hoping the rest would heal it.
It didn't work. Tommy John surgery is next. Bob Elliott:
Drew Hutchison was supposed to have the lesser of the two elbow injuries suffered by Blue Jays starters in June.
However, the rookie right-hander left the Bobby Mattick facility Monday afternoon headed for surgery later this week with Dr. James Andrews.
Look how many changes have been made in the Toronto rotation due to injury this year:
The Jays will have lost [Brandon] Morrow, [Kyle] Drabek and Hutchison for 27 starts when they face the Tampa Bay Rays Tuesday night in the opener of a series at Tropicana Field.
J.A. Happ becomes the sixth starter to fill in for the missing trio.
Brett Cecil, Aaron Laffey, Carlos Villanueva, Jesse Chavez and Joel Carreno have filled in for the injured threesome. Only Laffey and Villanueva remain in the rotation, along with Ricky Romero, Henderson Alvarez and Happ.
And yet, Toronto plugs along, still just five games out of the AL wild-card lead. They'll have a chance to move up this week as they face the Rays.

The Prairie Fire Festival in Cottonwood Falls celebrates the annual range-management practice of burning the tallgrass prairie to promote new growth. Indigenous Native Americans noticed that bison liked to graze on the freshly burned grasses and shared the concept with European settlers, who went on to develop exceptional cattle-grazing territory.
The festival marks this Flint Hills tradition with a weeklong schedule of talks on everything from "The Kaw Dwellings in Morris County, Kan." to "Mammals of the Tallgrass Prairie" and performances by historians and bluegrass groups.
Event: Prairie Fire Festival
Dates: April 4-9, 2011
Location: Cottonwood Falls
Most events take place at the Emma Chase Music Hall or Emma Chase Café. Saturday offers a full day of speakers and singers. Review the schedule of events or call (620) 273-6020 for information.

About Naturepedic
Naturepedic was founded by Barry A Cik, a quarter century veteran in the field of environmental engineering. In anticipation of his first grandchild, Barry went searching for a suitable baby crib mattress. Sadly, he found all of the crib mattress offerings completely unacceptable and was in shock at the state of the industry. "I knew all about vinyl/PVC, polyurethane foam, and the various chemicals contained in them and there was no way I was going to put my grandchild to sleep within a few inches of these chemicals."more »

Chuck recently moved to Portland, Oregon from Gainesville, Florida, where he was a staple of the music teaching and performing community for more than 25 years. Originally from Chicago, Chuck completed his BA in Music History and Masters of Music (MM) at the University of Florida. Chuck became obsessed with The Beatles when he began piano lessons at age 12. His first attempt at composing was actually improvising melodies over the ending chords to "Hey Jude". Along with playing Beatles tunes Chuck learned classic standards from a set of Reader's Digest Songbooks inherited from his grandmother.
Chuck has performed with classic rock, top 40, funk, R&B, and jazz groups, and has served as an opening act for Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, and legendary Texas bluesman Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown. As a soloist he's played classical music, blues, jazz, and original compositions. Before devoting himself to music full time, he worked for 8 years as a radio announcer on WUFT-FM Gainesville hosting shows such as "Nothing but the Blues", "Montage" (acoustic jazz), and "Musica Antiqua" (Renaissance and Medieval).
Chuck has taught students of all ages and skill levels in piano, guitar, organ, flute, digital keyboards, recorder, and ukulele. He's also a multi-faceted composer whose instrumental pieces are infused with elements of classical, blues, and jazz styles.
Chuck's teaching philosophy: "In my 25 years of teaching I've found that everyone learns in different ways and at different rates of progress, so each of my students is treated as a unique individual. I try to get to know my students in the first few lessons so I can be more sensitive to their personalities. This helps me choose the best teaching approach for them. From the very first lesson I create a relaxed setting so students feel no apprehension, especially when trying something new. This allows them to feel free to take chances and experience playing music as something enjoyable, not a life or death situation! The biggest measure of my effectiveness as a teacher is when my students embrace new challenges and the opportunity to improve".
*** Lesson Details ***
My primary goal as a teacher is to present musical material in a way that keeps students excited about what they are learning. Even with absolute beginners, I will have a student playing actual songs that they are interested in as quickly as possible. Along with way I include fundamentals such as scales, strength-building exercises, rudiments of theory, and ear training. Some of the method books I use include the Alfred and Faber and Faber series, and Hanon's The Virtuoso Pianist, among many others. These materials are always supplemented with arrangements and transcriptions of popular songs and classical pieces, along with original exercises designed to teach specific styles and techniques. I also use interactive music websites to introduce students to concepts of music theory. The styles that I cover include classical, rock, jazz, and blues. As students progress in their creativity, I also introduce them to composition and improvisation.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Kawai K50 upright piano, music playback devices, Hammond C3 organ, multiple keyboards/synthesizers, acoustic and electric guitars, amplifiers, computer recording equipment; parents are encouraged to sit in on lessons.
*** Travel Equipment ***
I don't provide any specific equipment. Piano students should have either a well-tuned piano or full-sized weighted-key digital keyboard (Casio Privia, for example). Guitar students should have a well set up electric or acoustic guitar and an amplifier (for an electric guitar).
*** Specialties ***
I teach students of all ages and skill levels. The styles that I cover include classical, rock, jazz, and blues. I also teacher recording techniques using computer software including Ableton Live, Reason, and Pro Tools.
Bass Guitar, Beatbox, Classical Piano, Composition, Didgeridoo, Djembe, Drum, Ear Training, Flute, Guitar, Hand Drums, Logic Pro Software, Music Performance, Music Recording, Music Theory, Percussion, Piano, Saxophone, Singing, Songwriting, Speaking Voice, Spoken Word, Stage Performance
I'm a multi-instrumentalist from the Northwest with lots of love for teaching people to groove. I got my bachelors in music from Whitman College with an emphasis in Jazz Performance. I can teach anyone to rock, swing or get unreasonably funky. Lessons can be casual or serious and I'm down to tell you how to get to Carnegie Hall or onto the stage at the local jam.
*** Lesson Details ***
I like to teach my students what they want to learn! I'm always game for setting up a fun path to being able to play your favorite songs as fast as possible. I don't scold or shame and having a blast is the name of my game. I can teach you to improvise, read music, become a strummer or virtuoso, it's all up to you.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Lessons in the basement studio, piano, guitars, amps, hand drums, a bass, woodwinds, FULL DRUM SET!
*** Travel Equipment ***
I can travel with a sax, flute, guitar, electric bass, and a didgeridoo....
*** Specialties ***
I'm a jazz musician! But I listen to and perform all styles of music. I have written string quartets, been the front man for a funk band, and recorded every style of music under the sun. I can teach Bach and the Beatles and explain how/ and why they intersect and are similar musically.
Bass Guitar, Guitar, Music Performance, Music Recording, Piano, Singing, Speaking Voice
A Professional Musician, I am now happy to pass my skills and knowledge on to the next generations so that they may have ALL the fun and enjoyment of music in their lives, that I had in mine.
Having toured the East Coast Venues (NYC to Key West) for 30 years, and self produced 10 CDs, I have 3 EMMY AWARDS for soundtrack music for the EXPEDITION FLORIDA SERIES, Nature Documentaries. They were funded by the University of Florida, Museum of Natural History, and the Tourist Development Council of Alachua County, Florida.
Playing acoustic and electric six string guitars, electric bass guitar, piano and keyboards, drums, percussion and hand drums, I majored in Flute and Voice at UF and have spent my life immersed in and obsessed by the world of music.
I have played classical, rock, reggae, folk, jazz, swing, country, bluegrass, praise, gospel, afro-pop, ska and 80's music, and have toured as a solo act, a duo, a trio, and with a full 6 piece band, SKATTERBRAINZ, for 8 years.
I teach lessons and classes full time, and also perform LIVE and in person frequently in local venues for profit and community service.
*** Lesson Details ***
Lessons start with learning the names of notes, how to read music, a bit of music theory (time signature, sharps and flats) and how this translates to the instrument the child chooses. All instruments are taught by fingering first and then musical notes second. It is easier for the child this way, and he/she can be playing a song with both hands by the end of first lesson.
As the child learns the beginning steps of reading and implementing music, I encourage them to tell me what songs they like, and then try to find an easy one to start with.
So that while we are learning "real music" we are also having fun with a piece that your child enjoys and has "CHOSEN".
This way they have some discipline AND some fun!
As pieces are mastered, the same pieces can be redone on different, more difficult levels, so that pieces are always growing and improving.
Eventually the student can read music competently on the instrument, as well as hear and play by ear.
At higher levels I teach the ability to improvise and read music and chord charts in order to play professionally with other musicians. I also encourage students to get with other students and friends to have music "sessions." They can bring their musical friends to lesson to help learn songs for TALENT SHOWS or CHURCH or what ever their immediate needs or desires are. I can also record "Karaoke" tracks for songs they write or want to sing for talent shows/ auditions.
All lessons are custom designed for the student's abilities, tastes and goals. ALL LESSONS ARE DESIGNED TO BE FUN, and ENJOYED BY THE STUDENT as well as the instructor. I want both of us to have a great time in lesson and learn while we do.

I've studied music at Portland State University, and am well dug into the Portland music scene. I teach you how to turn basic chords and strumming patterns into your own musical ideas, as well as learning your favorite songs. I have experience teaching students how to play most any song in front of family and friends, or with others. Students will get real music theory training as well as advanced guitar techniques. I usually teach students to sing and play the songs in order to help students work on melody and chord structure at the same time.

I have a BA in Psychology, and an MA in Parapsychology. I studied Architecture for 3 years, and Music Education for two years. I was a National Merit Semifinalist in High School for good SAT scores, and in the Honors Society in High School and College. I play piano, percussion, flute, cello, guitar, bass, cornet and glockenspiel, and teach music lessons. I enjoy playing duets with my students, sharing the fun of making music with them. I do macrame', draw and paint, and am certified as a Reiki Master. I always loved school, and enjoy helping other people to learn. My Dad is my role model, since he was a calm, patient tutor for me - I try to live up to his example in my own teaching work.
I like to work with my students in a learning partnership, letting them work at their own pace with my encouragement and support.
I love to teach, and can help you love to learn!

MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay (AP) -- Uruguay coach Oscar Tabarez has ignored the recent furor surrounding Luis Suarez and called up the Liverpool forward for an international friendly match against Romania on Feb. 29 in Bucharest.
In his squad named Tuesday, Tabarez also included forwards Diego Forlan and Edinson Cavani, who helped Uruguay win last year's Copa America -- the continental championship.
Suarez refused to shake hands with Patrice Evra of Manchester United before last Saturday's Premier League game at Old Trafford. It was the players' first meeting since Suarez was banned for eight matches for racially abusing the Manchester United defender in October.
Suarez apologized for not shaking Evra's hand the following day, with Liverpool's main commercial sponsor raising concerns with the club over the incident.


text: Baby-throwing puzzler Offspring Fling is your indie treat for the week Gaming 02 April 12 by Mark Brown Tweet Offspring Fling Reveal TrailerKyle Pulver Offspring Fling, a one-man indie game from a chap called Kyle Pulver, invites you to "experience the thrill of motherhood" in a "baby-throwing adventure". Now there's an offer that's tough to refuse.Thankfully, the young ones in Fling -- in which you play a forest creature searching for her missing children -- are resilient little critters that aren't harmed when tossed, dropped and slung about each level. Which is handy, seeing that your own kids often become the tools to solve puzzles.In each stage you'll balance a baby or two on your head (making your jumps less springy with each additional child) and then place them on pressure-sensitive switches, bounce them off reflectors, launch them into breakable blocks and throw them about like props at every junction. In every level your goal is to deliver your lost offspring to the exit. You'll get graded on your speed (with silver and gold flowers), can go up against your own times and share your best replays online.Pulver -- known for indie favourites like Verge and Depict1 -- constantly adds new ideas, mechanics and puzzles as you play through the game. No level is like any other, making Offspring Fling consistently creative and endlessly imaginative. With 100 or so levels, that's quite an achievement.The game is also very pretty. It's got a disarmingly cute style, with colourful retro artwork that's especially reminiscent of the Super Nintendo. Offspring Fling also has a chirpy, catchy soundtrack, composed by Aquaria co-creator Alec Holowka. You can buy Offspring Fling for $7.99 (about £5) on Mac and PC through the Humble Store. You'll get a DRM free download of the game, though you'll probably come back soon enough to buy Holowka's soundtrack on Bandcamp.

If your teenage son told you he wanted out of your care you would probably just send him to his room.
Well, not if you're Will Smith.
It seems his son wants out for his 15th birthday, and the Philly actor isn't exactly against the idea.
The Overbrook native says in an interview that his son, Jaden, wants to be an emancipated minor.
The teen says he wants to live on his own and get his own place to live.
Smith says he and his wife do not punish their kids and understand if they want to take command of their lives.
