Appearance – This is a nice, very dark brown in color, OK almost black, with a big, fluffy, tight, dark white head.
Smell – I like the roasted aroma but there's just not enough of it. This bouquet is very faint and consists of dark roasty notes along with a light raw sugar sweetness.
Taste – It's equally light in the ass at the taste. Again, all the flavors are here it's just a little empty and lacking in depth. I'd say it's almost watery.
Mouthfeel – There's no bitterness to this ale which is better than light-bodied but far from medium. The carbs are a bit too perky for the style as well.
Drinkability – This is an easy-going beer that won't impress anyone but will stay out of the sink.

Thanks to Mike for giving me this bottle at a recent tasting. It was in his 'Free Beer...Please Take Home' box
It pours a transparent deep deep chestnut brown with crimson highlights. A fluffy generous khaki colored head tops the beer with medium retention and minimal lacing.
The nose is very mild. It has a minimal amount of roasted barley as well as a slight plum esters and finishes just a bit sweet.
The roasted barley is once again nearly non-existent. There is not even a hint of coffee or chocolate commonly found in beers with a decent amount of roasted barley. There is just a slight dark grain taste. Once again a lot of plum esters are coming through. There is almost a medium amount of bitterness which balance some of the malt sweetness in the finish. The plum is just too prominent.
The body is very thin and watery and the carbonation level is medium low which does not compliment this beer at all. Drinkability is just above average, it's not hard to down the beer because it's so thin and watery but at the same time it's very boring, so not enjoyable. It's like they mixed 1 part Guinness with about 5 parts black lager. It ends up with a mash-up that does nothing to accentuate the roastiness of a good dry stout and the crispness of a good lager. I'd only choose this again if BMC is the only thing available. I'd much rather just have the original.

In a pint glass this beer was a very dark brown, almost black color. It had a medium-sized tan head that disappeared quickly.
Roasted malt aroma, sweet cocoa. Kind of faint.
The taste was even fainter. Weak coffee, a tiny bit of chocolate.
Very thin and watery. On the positive side, you could drink a number of these in one sitting.

330ml brown bottle w/ no freshness date.
LOOK: Off black color w/ reddish hue. Good lacing.
SMELL: Sweet, cocoa, mild charcoal, lightly bready, clean.
TASTE: Smooth, slick, lighter body, wet, mild roasted grain, dried grass, muted hops, bitterness, residual dextrins.
I was not sure what to expect but after several goes at it I am still trying to wrap my head around its inception. Regular draught Guinness does a great job ... consistent, drinkable, the story behind it. Sort of a lesser Guinness that has a typical carbonation of a Euro Lager. I guess I just don't see the market for it. I can understand why FES was brought to the states, 10-15 years late to the party but this concoction just does seem to hit it with me. Not saying it is bad at all, it hits the right elements ... drinkable, easy going flavor. Is it for 38-56 year old males who make more than $75,000 a year that are not into beer that much but are sick other Euro Dark Lagers? If someone was looking for a dark lager why wouldn't they just look for a solid Munich Dunkel or a dark Czech lager? Go figure, best of luck guys ... still trying to figure this one out. Regardless, it is worth a tick.

12 ounce bottle
Pours dark cola , minor tan head, thin collar and minor lace.
Just a very faint whiff of dark bread on the nose.
Notes of some dark bread, not much else.
Pretty lame and boring brew. Unfortunate that Guinness doesnt seem to care to put out more of an interesting product. Oh well, glad I only poached one of these from a friends assortment box

3.4/5 rDev +9%
Appearance: black in color with a 1/4 inch head, opaque, moderate carbonation
Smell: toasted malt and caramel
Taste: toasted malt, caramel, smoke--like a less dense Guinness Draught
Mouthfeel: light bodied, high carbonation, sweet and smoky
Overall: Not a bad beer and certainly above average for the style. I could see myself getting a glass or two again. Probably my least favorite from the brewery. Try to grade against others I have had in the style. If I was not, this beer would be closer to a C.

Poured from can into a pint glass.
Appearance: As the name implies, black in color with a foamy beige head. Mild lacing on the glass.
Smell: Light malts and hops.
Mouthfeel/Taste: Smooth medium bodied. Taste of light bitter hops with malts, bread like yeast as well.
Overall: Not a bad brew. I would have this again if it was offered to me.

Worst Player
Goal Choice
O. GiroudArsenal Position: Attacker
Team Ratings
Tottenham Hotspur
H. Lloris
Proactive and quick off his line, and he had to be given how high the Spurs defence were positioned. Couldn't be blamed for letting Mertesacker's deflected header sneak past him.
B. Assou-Ekotto
Frequently exposed at left-back, granting acres of space for Walcott to dart into and Jenkinson to overlap. The majority of Arsenal's threat came down his flank. His long range passing was frequently wayward.
K. Walker
Showed his extraordinary pace both offensively and defensively, recovering to make several crucial tackles and interceptions. Defended competantly, with Arsenal posing little threat down his flank.
M. Dawson
Like centre-back partner Vertonghen, Dawson initiated more measured ball retention and built a solid base alongside the Belgian. Commanding in the air, especially when crosses and set-pieces were fired into the box.
J. Vertonghen
Offered some respite from Arsenal's dominant possession control by calmly retaining the ball. Showed good awareness to step up and intercept several dangerous through-balls, and made a great recovery challenge on Walcott. An excellent display.
S. Parker
Often ponderous and slow in midfield, he was regularly swarmed and dispossessed by Arsenal's more mobile midfield. Created the second goal with a smart pass behind the Arsenal defence for Lennon.
A. Lennon
Showed sparks of his fiendish pace against Monreal, scurrying towards the byline. Burst in behind the defence to round Szczesny and pass the ball into an empty net. Always a threat on the break, and defended as manfully as ever.
M. Dembélé
Struggled to influence the game, outnumbered in the middle of the pitch by red shirts. Worked hard off the ball, closing space, tackling and pressing. Went off injured with just a few minutes to play.
G. Sigurðsson
Wonderfully threaded the eye of a needle to release Bale for the opening goal. Worked hard and sought the ball, but often left Assou-Ekotto exposed at left-back, however, and dallied when through one-on-one against Szczesny.
G. Bale
Was a peripheral figure in the first half until he sprung the offside trap and nonchalantly stroked the ball past Szczesny. Missed a sitter after Assou-Ekotto had fizzed a cross into the box. Could be credited with an own goal.
E. Adebayor
A frustrating afternoon for the Togo forward, who had been flagged offside three times and picked up a yellow card before being stretchered off the pitch without even having had a shot in anger.
W. Szczęsny
Perhaps could have done more for both of Tottenham's first-half goals, and was rounded far too easily by Lennon. Otherwise largely untroubled, with Spurs offering little goal threat for much of the match. Kicking occasionally caused jitters.
P. Mertesacker
Played Bale onside for the first goal, pulling too deep behind the rest of his defence. Made amends as his header, which took a slight deflection off Bale, beat Lloris just after the restart. Controlled and assured at the back.
Nacho Monreal
Didn't track the run of Lennon as the winger sprinted through on goal and doubled Spurs' lead. Dealt with the sprightly wideman a little better when higher up the pitch. Almost solely responsible for Arsenal's width down the left flank.
T. Vermaelen
At fault for both of Spurs' first-half goals, remaining static as Bale and Lennon darted into the space behind him. Didn't look at all comfortable with the high line and was worried by Spurs' pace.
C. Jenkinson
Got forward with intent, pushing Sigurdsson back and drving up the flank. Fired in several very dangerous crosses and regularly exposed Spurs' high line, while he was troubled little defensively. Unfortunate to be subbed.
Kept possession ticking over in midfield and put in a good shift, but the match often passed him by. Afforded time and space in the middle of the pitch, he didn't do enough to breach Spurs' high defensive line. His negative passing saw him sacrificed as Arsenal chased an equaliser.
A. Ramsey
Responsible for bringing steel and grit in the middle of the pitch, working extremely hard in midfield and won the free-kick from which Arsenal scored. Moved to right-back in the second half and was equally assured.
J. Wilshere
Creative and full of ideas, but also competed extremely well against Tottenham's midfield. Found pockets of space, bursts into gaps and always looked a threat. Alongside Cazorla, he was largely responsible for Arsenal's control of possession.
Pulled the strings for Arsenal, drifitng across the pitch to pick up the ball and dictate proceedings. Probed Spurs' high line but occasionally wilted in the face of the home side's power and physicality.
T. Walcott
Didn't make good enough use of his pace in behind Spurs' high line. Always looked a threat when darting between Vertonghen and Assou-Ekotto, though often made his move a little too early. Provided the free kick delivery from which Mertesacker scored.
O. Giroud
Started the match quite well, pressing high, competing for aerial balls and threatening in behind, but was presented with few chances in the match and didn't do enough to get on the ball and influence the match.
T. Rosický
Came on in place of Jenkinson to further outnumber Spurs in the middle of the pitch but wasn't particularly effective.
L. Podolski
Was brought on with a little over 10 minutes of normal time remaining as Arsenal chased an equaliser. Brought more width down the left and forward impetus and looked a threat.

What MPs and council chiefs think needs to be done now
Updated 8:21pm Saturday 15th February 2014 in News
OXFORDSHIRE'S political leaders have pledged to work together in a bid to tackle flooding in the county.
It comes after the county faced further rain yesterday, putting at risk the good work done by firefighters and Environment Agency officials across the county.
Oxford East MP Andrew Smith yesterday called for politicians to pull together to tackle the issue of flooding.
And today this message has been echoed by colleagues across the political divide.
Prime Minister and Witney MP David Cameron:
"Flooding has a devastating effect on people's lives, I am seeing the effects on the ground for myself. We are facing extraordinary weather events and the Government is doing everything it can – the resources are there, the money is there but tragically these things take time to get right.
"I know that many farmers, businesses and residents in my constituency have faced a tough time and continue to face a tough time. We are coming forward with new solutions to help those affected."
Andrew Smith, Oxford East MP:
"Oxford faces a dire situation, with all the heartache and worry for those at risk of flooding, and the widespread disruption and economic cost to the city and surrounding area.
"I am keeping closely in touch with the efforts to protect local people, and praise the frontline effort being put in by all the agencies and councils. We will all be pulling together, across political parties and councils to mobilise the city's case."
Nicola Blackwood, Oxford West and Abingdon MP:
"We are all grateful for the work the Environment Agency and emergency services have done to respond to the flooding, keeping key routes like the Botley Road open.
"But what we need now are long term solutions, strategic dredging and clearing of drainage routes and improvements to our inadequate drainage system. We must all continue to work together to turn political will into local flood defence solutions."
Sir Tony Baldry, Banbury MP:
"I am really proud of what Cherwell District Council and the communities have done in north Oxfordshire to protect Banbury from flooding.
"Banbury has not flooded which means there is no water coming down the River Cherwell and the Oxford Canal to threaten Kidlington and Oxford.
"This is the highest rainfall since the late 1700s. It is unprecedented, so thought is going to have to be given in the future in respect of the River Thames and some of the tributaries serving it."
Ed Vaizey, Wantage MP:
"While not yet as bad as 2007, the level of flooding in my constituency is of huge concern. I have to praise the emergency services, as well as the local councils, for responding quickly to problems and supplying sandbags.
"The leader of the Vale of White Horse District Council, Matt Barber, has been working non-stop and providing me and many others with invaluable updates."
John Howell, Henley MP:
"I have had a meeting with the Environment Agency and discussed what they are doing and whether it is adequate. They are doing a good job, though there is an issue of whether the policy over the last 10 years has been the right one.
"Global warming must be a contributory factor."
Bob Price, Leader of Oxford City Council:
"I am delighted at the way in which the fire service and our engineering staff have worked together to find a solution for Botley Road and applied the same solution to Abingdon Road.
"I don't think any council can tackle the issue on an individual basis because the river runs through so many different parts of the county.
"We have to see this as something which involves all representatives from all of the councils."
Ian Hudspeth, Leader of Oxfordshire County Council:
"The flood summit we have organised is a key part of us working together.
"We have got to get over the floods and then it is important that we get all the information we can beforehand.
"We have invited as many people as possible, all the local MPs and some senior Government ministers and we will be working to get the best deal possible."
Barry Norton, West Oxfordshire District Council:
"From our perspective in West Oxfordshire, we have been lucky in that we are blessed with lots of flood meadows that take a lot of the water before it goes into roads or into houses.
"Since 2007 we have had a number of initiatives in place across the district which have stood us in good stead this time.
"We will be attending the flood summit and working to identify what we can do."
Ann Ducker, South Oxfordshire District Council:
"It is important that we work together to achieve the best for Oxfordshire.
"We will of course have differences, but we have to argue those out sensibly at the time the issue is raised. We are very fortunate in South Oxfordshire that we have not had much housing built on flood plains like some councils but we have to sit around a table and see how we can improve things."
Matt Barber, Vale of White Horse District Council:
"We have already had some quiet discussions with the Environment Agency about what can be done. The Western Conveyance seems to be gaining support and while we would have some concerns about its effect on Abingdon we are looking at what works could be done with it as a package.
"It will have some benefits for parts of the district and what we understand is, the effect on Abingdon will be small. Homes flooding is devastating but there is also the wider economic impact on the whole of the county and the whole of the region.
"When you close Botley Road and Abingdon Road it is not just people in those roads who are affected."
Barry Wood: Cherwell District Council:
"Working together is the obvious thing to do. Flooding is a priority for all of us."

Yet, last summer, Vale councillors granted planning permission for 100 houses to be built on this area. Local residents objected, in an area with a record of flooded properties they were very worried. So, hard working families stumped up hard earned cash to commission an internationally renowned hydrographer to examine the site. Conclusions included that flood risk assessments for development on the site had serious flaws and that there was a future risk to flooding of local properties as a consequence.
By contrast the EA's contribution was that flood risk was perceived as low, but, they stated, they did not have the resources to carry out the research required and recommended that the developers did this.
As was asked, by an exhausted volunteer worker, of Minster Phil Hammond, at Wraysbury, "what will it take for you to listen to us, what do we need to do, what do we need to show you".
I would have thought an expert's conclusions would have been a good place to start. I don't expect councillors and politicians to be experts at everything - however, some of them are identified as "leaders". Leadership includes decision and action after taking advice - even if it only comes via the lowly local electorate rather than the under-resourced EA.
So, politicians, in the spirit of new political co-operation that is apparently abounding at the moment, if you really want to get it right, when you have your discussions do not forget to involve the people - they are the ones that have the wisdom - or is what you are saying here just the usual old flannel, to be dropped the minute the waters recede? .

One could take the view "Caveat emptor" or how about trying to sue the council that gave planning permission, or in many cases the planning inspectorate that probably overruled the council's refusal to grant planning.

Youve got to be leery of anyone who takes his lifes philosophy from bumper stickers, but I saw one that summed up perfectly my attitude toward a contentious issue. It read: If youre opposed to abortions, dont have one.
Thats also how most Americans feel. A Gallup Poll released in January showed that fewer than 30 percent of us favor overturning Roe v. Wade. But the current case of the Philadelphia doctor accused of killing babies after they were born is enough to make some people blanch and could change minds.
Dr. Kermit Gosnell could turn out to be the unwitting star for anti-abortion activists. He is accused of murder in the deaths of one patient and of seven babies who were allegedly born alive. The medical examiner in Philadelphia said he couldnt be sure whether any of the fetuses had been born alive, but witnesses have said some were and described horrible scenes in Gosnells now-shuttered clinic.
Heres my question: Is it possible to be in favor of a womans right to choose what to do with her body but still be horrified by what Gosnell is accused of doing, of essentially aborting a kid thats almost ready for college?
I was thinking about abortions as much as I usually do which is not at all when I got an impassioned phone call Tuesday from former schoolmate the Rev. Patrick Wooden, pastor of Raleighs Upper Room Church of God in Christ.
Shouldnt we be concerned?
He was incensed at the high percentage of young black women in his 27610 ZIP code who comprise the visitors to Gateway, a religious group that counsels women before they seek abortions. I was told its 62 percent. Im not going to sit back and watch this genocide, he said, before telling me that his church is hosting a fundraiser for Gateway on Sunday.
Pat and I rarely see eye to eye on anything, but shouldnt we all be concerned when it seems that abortions are being cavalierly used as a contraceptive a late-term contraceptive device?
Despite all of the various contraception available, with human nature being what it is, people will still make mistakes and get pregnant without meaning to. Or, even if they meant to, the woman may belatedly realize that the home slice with whom she laid down is no Heathcliff Huxtable or Ward Cleaver and will not make a good father.
For whatever reason she decides to end the pregnancy, the decision should be hers although common sense and common decency should play a part in the decision. Does it really take 24 weeks thats six months to determine whether youre ready to be a mama?
Hey, Im just asking.
Dreaded slippery slope
Neither side in the abortion debate is willing to concede anything, lest a concession lead to the dreaded slippery slope of caving in. For my measured, reasoned query, I suspect Ill be called everything but a caramel-colored kumquat by people on both sides.
The indisputable truth is, though, that both sides harm their arguments when they refuse to see any shades of gray.
For instance, pro-birthers, yall look like idiots when you equate taking the morning-after pill to murder. Pro-choicers? You appear complicit when you dont strongly condemn actions like those of the gruesome Dr. Gosnell. (Have you actually heard anyone but his attorney defend him? Neither have I.)
I asked Wendy Banister, executive director of Life Care, a religious organization that works with Gateway, how often that organizations counseling services succeed in dissuading women from having abortions.
Were not about the business of dissuading young women, Banister said. Were about the business of giving accurate information, including adoption options. What weve found is that most girls who know what they are choosing are much happier with their choices. Choices that are made in ignorance or without understanding are not really choices; theyre just a knee-jerk reaction.
Heres what happens, she said. Many girls come in with their own conception of their pregnancy. Oftentimes, when a girl receives an education on fetal development and where she is in the pregnancy many times, when they realize theyre carrying a 12-week-old baby and see that baby on the (ultrasound) screen, their decision becomes, My goodness. I had no idea this was actually a living human being. I am not choosing abortion for this.
There is vigorous debate about whether a 12-week-old fetus is a baby. Heck, some people think a 12-minute-old fetus is a baby and should be carried to term.
Theres a word for those people, but my editor wouldnt let me use it.
He did let me use the one I wanted for Dr. Gosnells alleged actions: ghoulish.

#Tip of the day from Journalism.co.uk – how to ask for data under FoI
At a meeting of Hacks/Hackers Canterbury on Monday, Nicola Hughes, a Knight-Mozilla fellow working at the Guardian, was asked a question about how to best get hold of a spreadsheet containing data when using the Freedom of Information Act.
Hughes explained that if the data exists as a spreadsheet or CSV file, the authority is obliged to make it available.
If a council or public body responds by stating it cannot release the data as some is confidential (details of those in foster care, for example), a request can be made to find out what details are in the database or spreadsheet and the person digging for information can then tailor their request to exclude the confidential information.
Ask for the "schema, name and footnotes" and the relationship between them, Hughes said, and then you can ask for what you are interested in.
For more on how to submit and FoI request see this guide.
If you have a tip you would like to submit to us at Journalism.co.uk email us using this link.

WASHINGTON (AP) - A new study finds that the process of drilling and fracking for natural gas doesn't seem to spew immense amounts of the greenhouse gas methane into the air, as has been feared.
This bolsters a big selling point for natural gas, that it's not as bad for global warming as coal. And it undercuts a major environmental argument against fracking, a process that breaks apart deep rock to recover more gas. The study doesn't address other fracking pollution concerns.
The results, which generally agree with earlier EPA estimates, were published Monday by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
About 90% of the study funding came from nine energy companies that drill for natural gas. The rest came from the Environmental Defense Fund.

Microsoft stays silent on Xbox One sales stats in quarterly report
Microsoft reported its quarterly earnings this week looking at most aspects of its business. One of the things that didn't get talked about during the quarterly report was exactly how sales for the Xbox One are going. Early in the launch cycle for the new console, Microsoft was bragging frequently about how the console was selling.
All we heard on sales stats for the console during the earnings report was that Microsoft shipped 1.1 million Xbox One consoles in the last quarter. Microsoft has only moved 100,000 more consoles than it did last year in the same period when the Xbox One wasn't available.
The last official Xbox One sales figures came in May of this year when Microsoft said it had shipped over 5 million Xbox One consoles to retailers around the world. That number put it about 2 million units behind the PS4 in sales.
Tim Cook says business can revive iPad sales
Apple posted its quarterly profits this week and shed a bit of light on sales for its popular iPad and iPhone devices. While iPhone sales are up, sales of iPad tablets are slowing with sales slumping to 13.3 million units during the quarter, a 9% decline.
This marks the second quarter in a row where sales of the iPad have been on the decline. CEO Tim Cook says that the key to reviving iPad sales is to get more of the tablets into the business world. Cook notes that Apple has 76% of the commercial market with its products, but tablets are used less often in the commercial setting than laptops.
Apple admits that sales for the iPad last quarter were less than some analysts predicted, but says that sales were in line with its own predictions. "We still feel the category as a whole is in its early days and there is significant innovation that can be brought to the iPad and we plan on doing that," Cook said.
Google offers $1 million prize for designing a better power inverter
Google is offering a new prize for anyone who can build a better power inverter. The price is a cool $1 million and it is being offered as part of the little box challenge. To win designers need to build a better small-scale power inverter than is available today.
What Google and the other firms backing the prize are looking for is a kW-scale power inverter with a density of at least 50W per cubic inch. Some believe that a power inverter of this type will allow the unlocking of billions of dollars of commercial value from the electric grid.
Google says, "We believe that inverters will become increasingly important to our economy and environment as solar PV, batteries, and similar power sources continue their rapid growth. More broadly, similar forms of power electronics are everywhere: in laptops, phones, motors drives, electric vehicles, wind turbines, to give just a few examples. We expect that the innovations inspired by this prize will have wide applicability across these areas, increasing efficiency, driving down costs, and opening up new uses cases that we can't imagine today. It also doesn't hurt that many of these improvements could make our data centers run more safely and efficiently."

Flir One thermal camera accessory for iPhone unveiled
Flir is a company that has been making thermal imaging cameras for commercial and military use for a number of years. The company has been under pressure to branch out into the broader consumer market and has an interesting new product to help. The new product is called the Flir One and it is an accessory for the iPhone 5 or 5S smartphones.
The accessory camera will sell for $349 making it much cheaper than the $1000 price the next cheapest thermal camera sells for. A version of the Flir one for Android users will roll out next year.
Flir thinks that consumers will see the benefit in a thermal imaging camera that sells for $350. Using the camera people can do things like check for cold or hot air leaking into or out of a home allowing them to better insulate and save money on heating and cooling. Developers are working with Flir now on making apps to take advantage of the camera.
2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat priced at $60,990
Muscle car fans are probably familiar with the Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat; the car is one of the most powerful production muscle cars in the world. Dodge gave the Hellcat a massive amount of power with an engine making 707hp and claiming the horsepower crown in the muscle car realm.
With the Camaro ZL1 packing 580hp and the Shelby GT500 packing 662hp, you might expect the Hellcat with significantly more power to be price a lot higher, and it is more expensive. The sales price for the Hellcat is going to start at $60,990. The Camaro ZL1 starts at $57,650 and the GT500 starts at $55,935.
707hp is an insane amount of power to come from a factory engine in a car meant for the streets. The Hellcat will go on sale this fall along with the other available versions of the car. The SRT 392 version of the car will sell for $46,990.
EA's revenue climbs 8% this quarter to $1.21 billion
Electronic Arts posted its results for the first quarter of the fiscal 2015 year (the three-month period that ended on June 30) where the company saw a net revenue of $1.21 billion. This is an 8% increase compared to EA's revenue in the previous quarter, which was $1.12 billion.
When comparing to year-over-year results, it's an increase of 27.9%. The company has also increased its digital revenue by a little over 9% in the last three months too, increasing this revenue from $491 million to $536 million. EA's net income dropped 8.7% for the last quarter, dropping from $367 million in Q4 of fiscal 2014 to $335 million.
If we compare it to the same quarter of last year, EA's net income has increased by a whopping 50.9%. The company took the time to announce two delays for two of its biggest franchises, with Dragon Age: Inquisition being pushed back a month into November, and delaying Battlefield: Hardline into 2015.
Apple awarded patent for smartwatch in the US
Rumors continue to swirl that Apple is getting ready to launch a smartwatch in the US. A patent has now been granted by the USPTO that covers an electronic wristwatch that was originally filed in July 2011. The patent certainly shows what Apple was thinking about a wearable device as far back as three years ago.
The patent is US Patent 8,787,006 and went public yesterday. If you are hoping that the patent will shed light on what the iWatch, or iTime device might be like, all the patent really shows is what Apple was thinking in 2011. The watch in the line art with the patent looks nothing like the bangle we have seen in concept renderings.
The watch in the patent is a wristband that has a mobile device component that can be clipped onto the band worn on the wrist and can function when off the band too. The patent does call the device iTime, but no note of a trademark being filed for that name has been found. This patent almost looks like a spinoff of the iPod nano watchbands that were common a few years ago.
EA delays Dragon Age: Inquisition, new release date of November 18
EA has delayed a second game today, with the first being Battlefield: Hardline pushed back into sometime next year, but Dragon Age: Inquisition is also getting a little more time in the oven. Bioware's upcoming fantasy RPG has a new release date of November 18, 2014 - an extra month of waiting.
Executive Producer on the game, Mark Darrah, explains: "I'm writing to let you know that Dragon Age: Inquisition has a new release date of November 18, 2014 in North America (November 21st in EU). We appreciate the enormous support we've received from all of you to get to this point, and while this extra few weeks may not seem like a lot, I know the game you'll play will be all the better for it".
Darrah continued: "Since we began working on Dragon Age: Inquisition almost four years ago, our goal was to create the best Dragon Age experience ever. It was that goal that motivated many of our decisions: moving to Frostbite, bringing race choice and customisation back, improving tactical camera, building a team of characters whose relationships evolve based on your actions, and most importantly, crafting an epic, nation-spanning story that both draws upon past games and takes you to many new places in the realm of Thedas".

The fight to keep consumers safe online is important and difficult
The lure of easy pickings in online cybercrime has drawn many criminals to the Internet, where they look to compromise users, steal debit and credit card information along with other personal data. The use of social engineering to manipulate victims remains popular, but many Internet users provide information to criminals too easily.
The basic tips apply: don't provide personal information when you don't have to, such Social Security numbers; always monitor bank accounts; avoid clicking links in unsolicited emails, or other suspicious messages; and choosing a secure password are important.
"Con artists are going online to steal your hard-earned money," said Bob Gallo, AARP Illinois State Director, in a press statement. "Common sense should tell us that if it sounds too good to be true, chances are it is. But AARP's nationwide Fraud Watch Network can also help you beat con artists at their own game and get critical information to fight back and protect your money."

Commonwealth Games to be recorded in both 360-degree VR and 4K
During the Commonwealth Games that take place between 24th July and the 3rd of August, BBC Research and Development will be conducting a few trials and public demonstrations. These experiments will see a number of industry partners working together to help create the future of BBC R&D's vision of the future of TV. These broadcasting milestones include:
- The first ever Ultra-HD broadcast of a Commonwealth Games
- The first major live event to be produced and delivered entirely over the Internet
- The first UK trial broadcasting live coverage over 4G mobile networks
- The first live virtual reality broadcast combining 360 degree video with 3D audio
- The first public outing for several cutting-edge BBC R&D projects demonstrating the editorial and creative potential of a new Internet-based broadcasting system
The biggest part here is that we're going to be seeing the first live VR broadcast done, which will use a combination of 360-degree video with 3D audio. The BBC R&D team will be getting a hand from UCL, where they will create "the most immersive live virtual reality broadcast to date". The demonstration will involve "a panoramic, 360 degree video camera, and a 3D audio microphone will be placed into the SSE Hydro Stadium in Glasgow, streaming the live feeds to an Oculus Rift virtual reality headset in the Glasgow Science Centre". They continue, by teasing that "This provides the viewer with the sensation of being transported inside the stadium and being part of the crowd. This work forms part of ongoing projects to explore the creative and editorial potential of new consumer audio-visual technology".

Vikings' backups prove they can help team win
Duluth News Tribune
Posted on Mon, Nov. 28, 2005
Commentary by BOB SANSEVERE
[size=18px]Vikings' backups prove they can help team win[/size]
It covers C.J. Mosley's upper arm and part of his right shoulder, this tattoo of a lion with flames rising off his mane.
"Keep that burn," Mosley said, explaining the flames. "You've got to have that fire."
That is how Mosley wants to play football. With that burn, that fire.
"Look," he said, nodding to the tattoo. "You can see the lion with his chest out."
It's a proud lion. A lion telling you there isn't anything that can douse his flame.
"You've got to stay hot," Mosley said.
Mosley sure did that Sunday during the Vikings' 24-12 victory over the Cleveland Browns. He's just a rookie, a sixth-round pick out of Missouri who hadn't done much before Sunday. When Kevin Williams injured his knee on Cleveland's second offensive play, Mosley replaced him. He brought that burn into the game.
Mosley was one of the Vikings' standout defensive players with seven total tackles, two sacks and a forced fumble that set up the Vikings' first touchdown.
"It's about stepping up and doing your part," Mosley said.
Several backups have done that this season, particularly during the Vikings' four-game winning streak.
Check it out:
• Since Daunte Culpepper's season-ending knee injury, Brad Johnson is 4-0 as the starting quarterback.
• Defensive end Darrion Scott, who is playing more because of the season-crunching injury to Kenechi Udeze, had four tackles, a sack and a fumble recovery Sunday.
• Brian Williams has been exceptional since replacing injured cornerback Fred Smoot.
• Rookie Dovonte Edwards, who also moved up the depth chart after Smoot got hurt, returned an interception for a touchdown in last week's victory over Green Bay.
• The offensive line, which has just one player, Bryant McKinnie, who began the season as a starter, gave Johnson enough time Sunday to pass for 207 yards, three touchdowns and a quarterback rating of 110.3.
• Marcus Robinson and Travis Taylor took more reps Sunday because of injuries to Nate Burleson and Troy Williamson and had impressive performances. Robinson caught all three of Johnson's TD passes, and Taylor had five catches for 70 yards.
"When a guy goes down, we don't worry," defensive tackle Pat Williams said. "We have hungry backup guys."
"This train is going to keep on moving," Johnson said.
This is the best depth Mike Tice has had in four seasons as the Vikings' coach, and it is better than most of the years Denny Green coached the team.
"I guess that shows the coaches know how to develop young talent," Tice said, seizing an opportunity to tweak his critics. "Players don't just go out there."
When Mosley went out there in place of Williams, he got a quick bit of advice from defensive coordinator Ted Cottrell. "I told him, 'Play like hell. Play like crazy,' " Cottrell said.
Mosley was planning to do that, anyway.
"When you go out there and play, you've got to make the most of the opportunity," he said. "I could have taken it the wrong way and choked."
Instead, he did his part in strangling the Browns' offense, which had five turnovers and didn't score its lone touchdown until the game was way out of reach.
"I heard (Mosley's) name on the head phones a couple of times prefaced by a curse word," Tice said. "So I would say he had some good plays and had a few bad plays."
More good than bad.
"He was all revved up," said Pat Williams, who played alongside Mosley. "That's how you're supposed to play, how you want to play. I go out there and play with anger. It doesn't matter who we're playing against. I always play with a chip on my shoulder."
Mosley's locker is next to Williams'. He heard everything Williams had to say, and he nodded in agreement.
"Like Pat, I'm mad," Mosley said.
And like that lion with the flames rising off his mane, Mosley was on fire.

RAMIELE MALUBAY Sails to "American Idol" Top 12 Finals
Filipino-American Ramiele Malubay survived the last cut to sail through the Top 12 of this year's American Idol.
In the last elimination before the Top 12, Ramiele was among those who luckily made it to the next round. The four who were eliminated and did not make it to the Top 12 were Luke Menard, Kady Malloy, Asia'h Epperson, and the openly gay Danny Noriega.
The remaining six female contestants and six male contestants will go up against each other starting next week.
Ramiele will be joined in the Top 12 by fellow female contestants Kristy Lee Cook, Syesha Mercado, Amanda Overmyer, Carly Smithson, and Brooke White.
The male contestants who made it to the next round are David Archuleta, Chikezie, David Cook, Jason Castro, David Hernandez, and Michael Johns.
For her first performance in the elimination round, Ramiele sang "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" by Dusty Springfield that drew praises from the three judges—Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul, and Simon Cowell.
Ramiele's next two performances though—"Don't Leave Me This Way" by Thelma Houston and "Against All Odds" by Phil Collins—did not impress the judges too much. But without a doubt, Ramiele has one of the best vocals in the competition, enough for America to put her through the Top 12.
The winner will win one million U.S. dollars and the honor of being the seventh American Idol.

KIM CHIU Chosen as the Pinoy 'My Girl'
Kim Chiu cried a tears [of joy] when the lead role of "Jasmin" for the Philippine version of the hit Koreanovela "My Girl" which starred Lee Dong Wook was awarded to her by ABS-CBN.
The good news was announced during the press conference of Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Season 2. Kim Chiu, the big winner of the first edition, was surprised that she will have another primetime tv series on ABS-CBN. Her first was Sana Maulit Muli opposite Gerald Anderson which was a hit in the tv ratings in the first quarter of 2007. Sana Maulit Muli is now being shown in Taiwan.
But who will play the role of Korean heartthrob Lee Dong Wook? Of course, the name Gerald Anderson will first come to our minds. But ABS-CBN has not confirmed about this one. Are they considering a new love team for Kim? Enchong Dee, Aldred Gatchalian or Dino Imperial perhaps? We will see.
Kim Chiu is currently preparing for her debut party next month with Gerald Anderson as her escort, of course.
SELDA - Movie Preview
Selda is another award-winning indie film helmed by Paolo Villaluna and Ellen Ramos starring Sid Lucero (Donsol), Michael de Mesa, Emilio Garcia and Ara Mina. This Gawad Tanglaw winning movie is going to have a rerun on Robinsons' Galleria on March 5 to 11, 2008.
Set in two contrasting environments that undeline the same premise of imprisonment, Selda tells the story of Rommel, a young man who accidentally kills a boy, resulting in his incarceration. Inside the jail, he befriends another inmate, Esteban, who becomes his rock and protector. Seven years later, Rommel is living in the province as a farmer together with Sita his wife. Esteban tracks down Rommel in hopes of renewing a brewing love affair. Rommel and Sita welcome Esteban into their lives, until their intimacy crosses borderlines and results in the undeniable scourge of self-discovery.
Selda is a return to classiscist forms and delivers a stylish, deliberately-paced treatise on love. At moments strange, Selda is a sublime and disquieting portrait of a young man whose search for happiness, innocence and true love is laden with guilt and doubt.
LOLIT SOLIS Yet to Face Another Case in Court?
Here is a text message from Ruffa Gutierrez regarding Lolit's "defamatory" statements. Lolit allegedly exaggerated what transpired between Lani and Ruffa just a simple snob incident.
"I have consulted my legal counsel n because of Ms. Solis' defamatory remarks agains me, that are completely false and off topic, i'm now exploring possible legal action. i don't need this cheap publicity and would rather focus my attention on my children, my career and furthering my education."

ANNABELLE RAMA to LOLIT SOLIS: "Gusto Mo, Mag-Upakan Tayo!"
Tuluyan nang lumaki ang isyu tungkol sa diumano'y pang-iisnab ni Lani Mercado kay Ruffa Gutierrez sa birthday party ng GMA-7 executive Wilma Galvante noong February 22 sa Imperial Palace Suites. Ito ay dahil sa pagsali sa eksena ng manager ni Lani na si Lolit Solis at ang ina ni Ruffa na si Annabelle Rama. Pagkatapos ilahad ni Ruffa ang pang-iisnab daw sa kanya ni Lani sa The Buzz noong Linggo, March 2, ay hindi naman napigilan ni manager Lolit Solis na ipagtanggol ang kanyang alaga na si Lani, na piniling manahimik para huwag na raw lumaki ang isyu.
Ayon sa kuwento ni Ruffa, nilapitan niya si Lani sa birthday party ni Ms. Wilma para batiin sa pamamagitan ng pagbebeso, pero tinalikuran daw siya ng misis ni Sen. Bong Revilla.
Nagkitang muli sina Ruffa at Lani sa burol ng ina ng talent manager ni Aga Muhlach na si Ethel Ramos. Dahil sa insidenteng nangyari sa birthday party ni Ms. Wilma ay hindi na raw binati ni Ruffa si Lani sa muli nilang pagkikita para hindi na siya mapahiya.
Bagama't sinabi ni Ruffa na ikinuwento lang niya ang naturang insidente, wala siyang balak palakihin ang isyu. Nagbiro pa nga siya tungkol dito nang sabihin niya sa The Buzz na "My pretty, perfect pouty lips [were] left hanging on air" habang tumatawa.
Kung si Lani ay nanahimik na lang, hindi naman napigilan ng kanyang manager na si Lolit na magsalita laban kay Ruffa.
Sa panayam kay Lolit ng entertainment columnist na si Ogie Diaz sa radio program nitong Wow, Ang Showbiz! noong Martes, March 4, ay sinabi ng talent manager na hindi obligasyon ni Lani na batiin ang kahit na sino.
"Ang ipinagtataka ko lang, ba't kailangang maging obligasyon ni Lani ang batiin ang kahit sino? Ang mga na-link sa asawa niya, e, siya ang legal wife? Hindi pa ba sapat na civil lang si Lani at kailangan talaga makipagplastikan yung tao sa mga nali-link sa asawa niya, sa mga sumasabit-sabit na babae kay Bong?" sabi ni Lolit.
RUFFA & BONG'S PAST. Ang tinutukoy ni Lolit ay ang pagkaka-link kina Ruffa at Bong noon. Inamin kasi ni Ruffa sa The Buzz na na-link sila noon ni Bong noong wala pang asawa ang panganay nina Eddie Gutierrez at Annabelle Rama.
Kuwento ni Ruffa sa The Buzz: "Siguro, inisip ng mga intrigero na parang na-link sa akin si Bong like 25 years ago. My gosh! Let's all move on naman. May mga anak na ako. Panahon pa ni Mahoma 'yon, di ba? I mean, if it's that, God, it's like 25 years ago! I was only like 15, di ba? I don't see a reason na 'yon ang maging dahilan."
Sagot naman ni Lolit sa panayam sa kanya ni Ogie, "Day, sa totoo lang, hindi si Lani ang nagpalaki ng isyung ito, sila. Kung hindi sila kumibo, hindi sila nag-react, dedma, di ba? Nalaman ngayon ng mga tao na may nakaraan pala si Ruffa at si Bong. Dati ba, may nasulat na naging sina Bong at Ruffa? Wala naman, ah? Kaya si Lani, tahimik lang. Hindi siya dapat mag-react, dahil siya ang legal wife!"
Nang tanungin ni Ogie si Lolit kung posibleng maging simula naman ito ng pag-aaway nila ng ina ni Ruffa na si Annabelle, ito ang sagot ng StarTalk co-host: "Naku, 'pag nakita ko si Annabelle, sasabihin ko rin sa kanya na ang daming babae ang sumasabit-sabit sa asawa niya [Eddie] no'n, kaya 'pag tumatalak siya, naiintindihan siya ng mga tao, dahil siya ang legal wife!"
ANNABELLE FIRES BACK. Kagabi, March 5, ay nakapanayam naman ng TV Patrol World at 24 Oras si Annabelle kaugnay ng mga binitawang salita ni Lolit tungkol kay Ruffa. At gaya ng inaasahan, galit na galit ito at hinamon pa ng suntukan si Lolit, pati na si Ogie Diaz, dahil sa kawalang-galang ng mga ito sa kanyang pamilya.
Sinabi ni Annabelle na wala sa lugar ang mga komento nina Lolit at Ogie. Nagpakita lamang daw ito ng kawalan nila ng respeto sa Gutierrez family.
"Hindi ko maintindihan bakit sobra-sobra ang reaksiyon mo [Lolit] sa pagtira sa anak ko. Lolit, nakalimutan mo na ba kung saan ka galing? Dati katulong ka ni Mother Lily [Monteverde], hinaharbatan mo ako ng bag, ng pera, ibinibigay ko sa 'yo dahil mahal kita, nirespeto kita.
"Ngayon di mo ako nirerespeto dahil kinakalaban mo anak ko, pati mga apo ko tinatamaan mo. Ngayon, Lolit Solis, kung matapang ka, hinahamon kita. Sabihin mo saan, ano'ng oras, gusto mo mag-upakan tayo ngayon din, okay sa akin!" nanggagalaiting pahayag ni Annabelle kay Mario Dumaual ng TV Patrol World.
Dagdag pa ni Annabelle, itinapon daw ni Lolit ang mahigit tatlumpung taon nilang pagkakaibigan dahil sa kanyang mga komento. Sinabi ng palabang ina ni Ruffa na partikular siyang na-offend sa sinabi ni Lolit na maraming babae ang nagkakandarapa kay Bong dahil sa "nota" nito, na parang pinalalabas na ganoon din si Ruffa.
Ani Lolit sa interview ni Ogie sa kanya, "Malaki kasi ang nota niyang si Bong, kaya naeelya-elya ang mga babae sa kanya! Maglaway-laway man sila sa nota ni Bong, si Lani pa rin ang legal wife!"
Isiniwalat din ni Annabelle na bago ang interview ni Lolit sa radio program ni Ogie ay nagkausap na sila ni Lolit. May usapan na raw sina Annabelle at Lolit na huwag nang palakihin ang isyu, pero hindi raw tumupad sa kanilang kasunduan ang manager ni Lani.
"May usapan na tayong dalawa kahapon [March 4], bakit nag-ano ka...nag-iba ng usapan ngayon? Tinitira mo si Ruffa sa radyo at saka sa diyaryo. Huwag kang ganyan, 'Day. Huwag kang maging duwag. Ako ang kalabanin mo," sabi ni Annabelle sa panayam naman sa kanya ni Lhar Santiago sa 24 Oras.
Hindi rin nakaligtas kay Annabelle ang alaga ni Lolit na si Lani.
"Bakit ang anak ko ang iniisnab-isnab mo? Bakit, ano ba ang nagawa ni Ruffa sa 'yo? Sabi mo magsu-sorry si Ruffa sa 'yo, for what?" ani Annabelle sa 24 Oras.
Pinaratangan din ni Annabelle si Ogie ng pag-atake sa kanyang pamilya sa media.
Pagkatapos ilahad ni Ruffa ang pang-iisnab daw sa kanya ni Lani sa The Buzz noong Linggo, March 2, ay hindi naman napigilan ni manager Lolit Solis na ipagtanggol ang kanyang alaga na si Lani, na piniling manahimik para huwag na raw lumaki ang isyu.
Napag-alaman din na sinubukan daw tawagan ni Lolit si Annabelle, pero pinagbagsakan ng telepono ng ina ni Ruffa ang manager ni Lani.

RAMIELE MALUBAY of American Idol 7 Faces Cyberspace Scandal
The latest season of the popular talent show American Idol is proving to be more than just singing and scornful Simon Cowell remarks. Recently, it's also about scandals and stunning revelations on the background of its roster of contestants.
That includes Filipino-American Ramiele Malubay.
According to reports, controversial photos of Ramiele are currently popping up in cyberspace, showing the 20-year-old talent grabbing the breast of a co-worker in a sushi bar. Fox News reported that there's another photo where, this time, the hand of Ramiele's friend was caught placed on her breast.
People think the revealed photos may either strengthen or weaken Ramiele's chances going on to the final stretch of the contest. "If you're hated, you're doing something right," wrote Ramiele when asked to list down her favorite quote on her profile.
But Ramiele's issue paled in comparison to the scandal faced by another semi-finalist named David Hernandez. The Associated Press recently reported that David used to be a gay-club stripper rendering lap dances on mostly male patrons.
The report said that David was employed at Dick's Cabaret, a club joint located in Phoenix, for three years.
Speaking to AP, Dick's Cabaret manager Gordy Bryan was quoted saying: "He had the look and the type that people like, so he made pretty good money here."
Based on his employment record, it was found that David last reported at Dick's Cabaret on September 30, 2007. He never renewed his state license.
If there's any good news for Ramiele and David, it seems they will both stay on American Idol despite the controversies hounding them—until they are voted out of the show, of course.
Ramiele and David are still in the competition and are expected to sail through the Final 12.

KRIS AQUINO, Buntis?
Kasalukuyang nasa Phuket, Thailand, si Kris kasama ang kanyag mister na si James Yap. Silang dalawa lang ang umalis as part of their bonding moment. Naiwan ang mga anak ni Kris na si Joshua at Baby James sa kani-kanilang mga yaya at staff. From Phuket, didiretso ang mag-asawa sa Bangkok.
Umalis sina Kris at James kahapon, March 3, isang araw pagkatapos ng championship game ng Purefoods at Sta. Lucia sa PBA last Sunday, March 2. Second place ang team na kinabibilangan ni James, ang Purefoods.
Babalik sina Kris at James on March 10.
After a week, posibleng bumalik ang mag-asawa sa Phuket o di kaya ay sa Hong Kong na paborito ni Joshua. Kung anuman ang mapagdesisyunan ni Kris pagbalik nila ni James sa Thailand, doon na magbabakasyon ang pamilya ni Kris sa Holy Week. Bakasyon daw kasi talaga para sa pamilya ni Kris ang buwan ng Marso.
Senyales daw ito na gusto rin talaga ni Kris na magbuntis ulit sa kabila ng hirap na pinagdaanan niya noong nagdadalang-tao siya kay Baby James.

A Phoenix man has pleaded not guilty in the shaking death of his 4-month-old daughter.
Police say 25-year-old Amos Carle Andreas was arrested Aug. 22 on suspicion of second-degree murder and child abuse.
Police have been investigating the case since Andreas and the girl's mother brought her to Phoenix Children's Hospital on July 22. The girl died on Aug. 15.
Andreas says the girl was sleeping on his chest when she fell on the floor the night before. But a forensic pediatrician found that the girl's injuries were consistent with being shaken.
Maricopa County prosecutors say Andreas entered his plea in court Thursday. His initial pretrial conference is scheduled for Oct. 25.

Morning Dump: San Diego Chargers News Around the Web
- Stefanie Smith
I can't help but wonder how on earth AJ Smith even has a consulting job with the Redskins. He made some real costly blunders during his tenure with the Chargers. They are saying on NFL.com that the Robert Meachem signing could end up going down as the biggest FA signing bust. Then there is Ryan Leaf, then there is Gaithers, then there is letting VJax walk. Man, how is this guy even working?
He has to be embarrassed at his sub part performance.
- Michael Johnson
AJ Smith was not responsible for Ryan Leaf. The rest, yes. He also did a few good things early on before he started overthinking everything and before the power got to his head. He was considered the Top GM in the league in 2004, and I remember reading this articles and loving him. His magic in the 2004 draft was amazing. It's easy to sit back and look at Kaeding/Merriman now and consider it a bad draft, but we all know how valuable that draft was to the team early on. He did do a few good things – they were just all so early on.
- Stefanie Smith
Yeah, I stuck Leaf in there. I was thinking AJ was around back then. Shows I don't know Charger history.
- 1961 Fan
Double Duh.
- Stefanie Smith
Michael: I can't say for a fact, but I often wonder if the Spanos kids and family have a big hand in messing up the team. They sort of remind me a little of Jerry
- Brandon
You know whats funny is the spanos family is good friends with Jerry jones.
- 1961 Fan
Duh! You are just figuring that out. Thirty seasons of screwing up my Chargers. Just maybe he has chosen two people who can fix this mess called a team.
- Nick in PB
AJ, in the beginning was a really good GM. Unfortunately, after we had a stacked team, I think he tried too hard to find those "diamond in the rough" kind of players. Players with upside that could develop as starters as time went on. The problem was Norv. Norv never developed talent. He was not a teacher. Norv just let the talent rot. AJ brought in some good players. Look at our D Line guys. His drafts through 2008-2010 were horrible. All reaches. He let his ego get in the way. A detriment to his own success.
- sd_woodturner
Good comment, but can't blame AJ for Leaf, However, he now reminds me of Beathard (the bottom fisher) who took the bolts down so far that Leaf was a choice. Had Indie taken him and we got Manning……..
The '05 and '06 draft looks like a fluke now.
- Derek
I forget who but they said it best aj ruled the gm like he was the smartest guy in the room. Kinda like Jerry luckily for us aj had someone to check him. At best aj is a great scout, he can recognize talent but needs someone to concurr so the redskins got a good pick up hell they stole Kerrigan and we got to royal before them. They been thinking alike for a while
- Stefanie Smith
Man, thanks for pointing that out. I thought AJ was with SD back then. It seems like he has been here for eternity.,
- Derek
He said himself upon his final months he sucked. For better or worse the redskins acquired another good scout. I say scout because I assume all scouts have good n bad picks the gm tries to turn all the opinions in the front office to good picks so they stay out the paper
- 1961 Fan
The Ryan Leaf fiasco was during the time of that other genius GM by the name of Bobby Beathard. Instead of staying with then Head Coach Bobby Ross who just took us to our only Super Bowl appearance Dean Spanos decided to fire Ross and keep Beathard. It was just a few years ago that some fans were saying A. J. Smith was the greatest, only to be proven wrong just like this years Bolts chances of winning the Division.
- oregonboltfan
shows a lot about our ownership, let ross go and keep beathard then let maryty go and keep AJ. ownership is the big problem.
- Brandon
Not to mention Bree's, turner, sproles, cromartie. Who else's I'm missing someone?
- Stefanie Smith
You are so right. There are so many of them.
- Stefanie Smith
The team has shipped Sean Lissemore to the San Diego Chargers in exchange for a 2015 seventh-round draft pick, reports Todd Archer of ESPNDallas.com.
Dallas locked up Lissemore, a high-motor defensive end capable of moonlighting at nose tackle, to a three-year, $6 million contract extension last September.
- Brandon
I really like what we already have on the defensive side. I really hope they start pulling some offensive line in the mix.
- arnie
Why? What concerns you about the O-line?
- Brandon
The depth and experience. If our o line get injured again we don't have a whole lot to lean on.
- arnie
You are referring to Troutman, Ohrnberger, and Harris?
Troutman played well, as a 2nd year player, Harris gave up one sack, and beat out a 10 year vet for the swing tackle spot, also not bad for 4th year guy. And Ohrnberger is entering his 6th year.
All in all there is always room for improvement, but as far how they played, i'm not too concerned.
- Brandon
I know and I'm hoping the best for all the team. Just from what we have had in the past it does put me on edge a lil bit. I hope by week six or so I can breathe a lil better.
- arnie
Hey you're not alone in thinking that way. I just moved on, and don't put, how aj made feel on Telesco's shoulders.
- Brandon
I also read a few years back that aj smith was nothing but an ass to our pro bowl caliber players that's why most of them left with out the chargers trying to keep them. I will take a 2 and 14 season without aj smith then a 14 and 2 with him any day. We can finally start the rebuild process. Bolt up 4 life.
- Stefanie Smith
Yes. I have read that and heard that also. Glad these new guys are around. We don't want to end up like Tampa did, where no players wants to come play on our team. You end up having to pay more to get players then.
- arnie
You know i can't say this enough, but it sure feels good around here. I mean just dumping all the dead weight (meachgaither) it just feels like this big heavy weight has been lifted off the Chargers.
I feels like i don't have to worry about the mess that was created, because TT is working his butt off to make this team better.

In this class students will learn to design repeat patterns and structures for weaving, printing, and other digitally controlled output systems. Participants will be introduced to methods of analog and digital repeat generation while gaining fluency in ProWeave, and furthering their knowledge of Illustrator and Photoshop. Arrangements with affiliated institutions will allow students to have their designs digitally printed, die-cut, or industrially woven, expanding the opportunity for fulfillment of their concepts on a scale and complexity previously unrealized. Classroom discussion will examine the impact of historical, cultural, industrial, and contemporary factors on pattern design. No Prerequisites. Open elective. Required for FMS majors, year is not prescribed. Offered Spring only.
