3.3/5 rDev -18.9%
Thanks to Stakem for the share. 22oz bottle into a few glasses. Deep copper with thin off-white head. Rich spotty lace. Straight up vanilla in the nose with additional oak and candied sugars. Hot smelling alcohol as well. The taste is caramelized sugars, oak, vanilla and not much else besides some blinding fusel alcohol flavors. Super sweet with burnt finish. Full bodied, sharp on top and chewier underneath. ABV is in your face. Glad others had luck with this beer. Just too much booze and sweetness for me.

Big thanks to ygtbsm94 for sharing this one. Served in a mini snifter. Pours a moderate brown color with a short head. The nose carries a good dose of bourbon along with some oak, vanilla, and a big of fruit. Flavor hits toffee and caramel notes alongside bourbon and an underlying oaky vanilla character. Moderate sweetness and fruit character. Medium body without the amount of booze that the ABV would indicate. Worth a try.

Need some room in the fridge, decided to crack open this guy open. Had I known it was a 90 point beer, I may have saved it for more special of an occasion.
Pours a nice dark tree sap amber color into my tumbler. Crystal clear. White rocky head from a semi-vigorous pour. It recedes fairly quickly. Line of foam around the beer with very little lacing.
Vanilla and oak bombard the nose. Nice sting of alcohol rounds out the scent.
Smooth oak and vanilla on the palate as well. Hint of diacetyl? This beer is incredibly smooth. Alcohol is present, but is pleasant and not solvent-like. Would not have guessed in a million years that this is a 12% ABV beer.
Is there such thing as too smooth? This beer is it. Carbonation is moderate to low, which aids in the smoothness of the beer. I would rate the body as just a bit past medium. Doesn't quite have the body that I'd expect from a 12% ABV beer.
Overall this is a pretty incredible beer. I think it's a little too well attenuated and smooth for its own good. I'm kind of left wanting a little something else.

I've had this one in the cellar for a year. It is time...
Served in a Duck Rabbit snifter. That's good karma already.
A: It actually poured out a bit lighter in color than I was expecting, but still, it was a beautiful, caramel color that was uniformly murky and inviting. Not much head, but that's not what this is about anyway.
S: Buttery, coconuty, bourbon flair that was just the right strength to my mind. Lots of dark fruit as well: figs, raisons, and dates... all wrapped up in toffee.
T: First of all, I was awe-stricken with how smooth this one was. The coconut hit the palate first, then the molasses, and dark fruit, with none of this really sticking out of the pack.
M: Not even a trace of booze on this and it was utter perfection in that regard. Actually, I would have preferred a bit more heat, but that is just personal preference and a minor quibble. The carbonation was fine and this wasn't syrupy or sticky in any way.
O: 12.2% ABV? Really? REALLY? This was my first Karl Strauss brew and I'm already a fan.

Bomber split with friends and poured into a snifter. The brew appears a burnt copper color that is lighter to mahogany with a bit of an orange hue. A tan cap about a finger strong sits atop and leaves some stringy lace on the glass. A swirl revives a yellowish tan froth back to the surface.
The smell is solid with caramelized sugars. Hints of vanilla, oak, orange marmalde and an overall sugary candy quality fills the nose. As it warms up, there is a faint floral to citrus component mixing with minerals but overall the aromatics are all about the sugary quality of this brew.
The taste is caramel to toffee sweetness. Vanilla is present from the barrel aging mixing with fruity and floral elements. Big sticky sweet aspect to this brew with a bourbon burn trying to cut through. Oak and booziness persiste into the aftertaste with a mild orange zest aspect.
This is a medium to fuller bodied brew with a modest amount of carbonation. It is a big and boozy sipper with a cloying amount of sweetness and not enough alcohol or hops to cut it. Quite unbalanced and was a chore to try and get through my glass. As an after diner sticky sweet dessert, this might be more fitting. Not something I would care to have again though.

Bottle donated by Thorpe429. Thanks Mike!
The beer is copper hued with a thin, light tan head. Upon tilting the snifter, a nice sheet of lacing coats the sides of the glass.
The aroma offers oak, vanilla, bourbon. Smells strong and bold. nicely done.
A bit sweet, though certainly not lacking in flavor. Loads of bourbon, oak, and vanilla. A bit of heat in the finish. A nice beer to sip and savor. Best in small quantities, or enjoyed over a prolonged period of time. Recommended.

Amber in color with a thin khaki colored head. Smells of bourbon, vanilla, wood, and dark fruits. Plenty of caramel, toffee, and brown sugar to go along with it. Perhaps a hint of molasses along with some light oxidation. The beer tastes great. Caramel, toffee, brown sugar, and bourbon are the primary flavors with vanilla, oak, and dark fruits such as plums and raisins playing a role as well. The only knock I have on this beer is the body, which is quite thin.

This beer pours a medium bodied, somewhat cloudy dull amber in color with a one finger off white head. The nose is nice and bourbon forward, without being boozy. There is initially red fruits up front with a moderate amount of oak, vanilla, and caramel. I really like the nose. The flavors too are bourbon forward. The barrel shows itself off, showcasing plenty of vanilla, toffee, oak and bourbon. I dig it. It drinks like a lighter bodied barrel aged barley wine. The lighter body increases drinkability and appeal in my opinion. I could see how that would also turn some people off. Overall this is a really nice beer. It's enough to satisfy the barley wine fanatics that's for sure.

Thanks Kevin. Poured at cellar temp into a Hill Farmstead tulip. I really need to start using one of my other glasses for tasting. Nah.
A - Comes out as a dark orange with a touch of brown/red. Bubbly white head turns into lacing. Looks a little light for the style, but otherwise nice.
S - Lighter malts, candied fruit, oak presence.
T - Caramel and barrel take over almost immediately. Some candied fruits, malts, and some woodiness. Finishes a tad dry with noticeable heat, but nothing unpleasant. I'm not sure about the base on this one, but the barrel really takes hold of the beer. Favorable barrel notes are present from start to finish. Remarkable that it isn't hotter. There is almost a creaminess to it.
M - Medium body with some prickly carbonation.
O - Really a good beer. Not sure if aging will improve this beyond toning the heat down a bit and possibly merging the barrel more with the malts.

4.33/5 rDev +6.4%
Appearance: Pours a hazy copper color with a modest head that leaves some splashy lace behind
Smell: A boozy blend of caramel, oak, Bourbon and a hint of vanilla
Taste: Caramel, up front, with the oaky Bourbon elements developing by mid-palate; the boozy Bourbon flavors dominate the finish, with the vanilla lingering in the aftertaste
Mouthfeel: Medium to full body with moderate carbonation; considerable warmth in the gullet
Overall: Though it lacks some of the complexity I would expect in an Old Ale, this is still a fine beer and very tasty

huge thanks to egrace84 from bring this beer to a tasting! Thanks elliot!
reviewed from notes taken on 5/23/12.
Appearance: brilliant and clear copper orange bodied beer with 1 finger of white head that drops to a ring.
Smell: Big caramel and toffee notes with a splash of bourbon mixed into the beer.
Taste: Caramel, toffee, butterscotch. Oak, vanilla, and bourbon notes.
Mouthfeel: medium to full bodied beer with low carbonation. The beer is slick and sticky. Its a warming and spicy booze thats fairely mellow.
Overall: This beer is what Founders Better Half should have been! A really nice BA Old Ale that also has some overlap in the BA English Barleywine style. I really enjoyed this beer alot!

Pours a thin head that dies quickly. Collar left. Translucent caramel brown/orange color.
Very sweet smelling beneath the barrel notes.
A mix of sweet caramel and bourbon. Noticeable alcohol burn. Toffee! Would put this right at states ABV.
Average to above average carbonation which adds bite.
High abv but very smooth and drinkable.
First of all let me say, great price point. Nicely integrated old ale with the barrel aging. Thanks egrace84.

At the time of this review, this is #12 on the "Top Beers - Old Ale" list served in a snifter. Beer is dark yellow / light amber with a mild haze, a little white head, decent retention, no lacing, low to moderate carbonation.
Aroma is strong, boozy, a little overwhelming.
Beer is medium in body, thin on the front with the booze and alcohol, sweet, lacking that classic old ale character of depth. This is a good beer, a little hot, pretty strong but not overwhelmingly good. I don't think I'd have it again.

"I am trying to apply what I learn in class to my extracurricular activities, but I cannot do it without my professors. They are constantly involved in my life as teachers, but more importantly as role models."
"I first was looking at a bunch of different theater-intensive conservatories, but during my audition at Bucknell I was blown away by the professors. They tried to get to know me as a person rather than as a prospective student. Even the other theater students treated me as part of the Bucknell community.
"The most important thing Bucknell theater offers students is a strong community. The relationship between students and professors is one I cannot begin to describe. There is an immense amount of support and encouragement between everyone. Bucknell theater is truly a family within a family of Bucknell."
"I have always wanted to do theater but since I had only performed in shows coming into Bucknell, I was excited to explore the other facets of theater in college. In my three years here I have studied Greek theater, designed costumes, made collaborative and original work, danced, and directed my own piece. Since it is such a small department here, you get a lot of individual attention.
"The flexibility of the department allows students have the opportunity to pursue individual interests. For example, I am interested in using theater to reach out to communities. This semester I directed a show called 'Be You(tiful).' The department encouraged me to create a show exploring issues of body image on campus. With a cast of five women, I combined monologues by Eve Ensler with images we created as a team to visualize this problem on stage. Surprisingly, the audience responded positively to something so relevant and raw in their own community.
"I am trying to apply what I learn in class to my extracurricular activities, but I cannot do it without my professors. They are constantly involved in my life as teachers, but more importantly as role models. I am thinking about going to New York after I graduate. Ideally, I want to use my training from Bucknell to continue impacting communities through theater."
"In addition to performing in the theater productions, I am a publicity TA for the Theatre Department, a member of Cap and Dagger, the Play Selection Committee, the Dance Program, the East West Project, and a peer advisor for Delta Gamma Sorority.
"Another exciting opportunity I have received through the Bucknell Theatre Department is the East West Project. This past summer my professor, seven Bucknell students, and eight Western Washington students trained with Tectonic Theatre Company. The Tectonic Theatre Company is well known for their production of "The Laramie Project." We are working on a piece about the American family and this summer we are taking the show to Scotland to be part of the Fringe Festival, where we will be immersed in a city overtaken by theater for a couple of weeks."

Thread: MN for Rory?

MN for Rory?
What would you pair with Rory as a FN? I've really been adoring Rory lately, but I seem at a loss for what to pair it with. I've considered Rory Joshua, Rory Alexander, Rory Samuel, etc., but they all seem rather lacklustre to me. Someone suggested Rory Benjamin to me, and I like that all right, but meh, I'm just not very excited about any of them. What pairs well with Rory?!
Thanks, Berries!

Rory Jude Hawthorne?
March 6th, 2014 09:06 AM #5
Ooh, I do love Rory Dominic! And I have been itching to get it on my list as a middle. I actually do do two middles, but I just find it easier to attack one middle at a time. And honestly, one will probably be a family name, so there's that to consider, too.
Maybe an "E" middle? My sister's initials are RE, and I find it hard to honor her on my boys' list, so that is rather attractive. I wouldn't do Everett, though, as it's my second favorite boys' name and I can't see me ever hiding it away in the MN spot again. I am really loving Rory Dominic, though--that's definitely added to the "maybe" pile!

I quite like Rory Elliot! I generally try to avoid Eli- names since I could easily use Elias, Elliot, or Elijah for just about every name on my list, but I have already been considering Rory Elijah, so why not, haha. Is Rory Elliot too unisex? It's clearly masculine for me, but with the growing popularity of both Rory and Elliot for girls, I'd like to be sure.
I was also tossing around Rory Edmund, for my beloved Narnia.

Throughout the past year, we've featured entertaining and informative presentations by speakers, but now it's time for our group members to take a turn. Please join us at the meeting and bring something to share!
Part 1: Show-and-Tell!
All of our members are invited to bring something related to their own family history or research to share with the group. Perhaps you've inherited your grandmother's candlesticks or Seder plate. Maybe your grandfather's tallis was passed down to you. Or possibly you have a portrait of an ancestor or a snapshot taken long ago at a family gathering. Even if you don't possess any keepsakes from your ancestors, you may be able to show us a printout of their Ellis Island passenger manifest or a picture of the shtetl in which they lived. Please bring your item to show to the group (of course, don't bring anything that's extremely valuable or fragile), and tell us a little bit about the person it belonged to or how you received or discovered it. In addition, if you've joined us on our group trip to New York City or attended the 2014 IAJGS Conference in Salt Lake City, please tell us about your experiences and finds.
Part 2: Translations
If you would like a translation of a short passage written in a foreign language, our group members may be able to help. Please bring the original document (or, preferably, a photocopy) to the meeting. We're also asking members with expertise in a foreign language to volunteer their help in translating. We will have some language dictionaries and translation aids available, but please feel free to bring your own. If you plan to bring an item for translation, or if you wish to volunteer as a translator, please contact Susan Steeble in advance (firstname.lastname@example.com), so that we can anticipate how many persons wish to be involved in this project and which languages we need to cover. This is an ongoing project, so translations can be done "on the spot" at the meeting (as time permits) or with follow-up by email.
See our past programs here.

Are floated elements really removed from normal document flow?
If floated elements are removed from the normal document flow, why do the floated elements still seem to have some kind of "parent" behavior applied to them? For example, lets say I do:
html, body { margin: 0; padding: 0; } html { background: #ccc; } body { width: 600px; background: #fff; margin: 2em auto 2em; } div { margin-bottom: 1em; width: 200px; height: 100px; } .element1 { background: rgb(211, 206, 61); float: left; margin-right: 1em; } .element2 { background: rgb(85, 66, 54); float: left; margin-right: 1em; } .element3 { background: rgb(247,120,37); float: left; margin-right: 1em; } </style>
The float property has four possible values: left | right | inherit | none

Floating an element to the left or to the right will cause it to move to the left-most or right-most edge of its parent container. Floating removes the element from normal flow, and will cause elements below it to shift accordingly.

Floated elements still live within the parameters defined by their parent element, ie the width available and horizontal position. They still interact with text and other elements inside that parent element (or other following elements). In that respect, they are quite different from absolutely positioned elements, which are removed from the document flow and don't interact with other elements ... but even then, if they have a positioned ancestor then they are restricted by the envelope of that ancestor and will use that as the basis for calculating size and dimension (although they can still be made to extend or exist outside that positioned ancestor).

A mom has been arrested after her 6-year-old girl was found abandoned at McDonalds. The little girl went to get food and came out to find her mom had left her there on purpose.
And she had just gotten out of jail that same day.
Less than 24-hours after being released from jail, Lucy Parra was arrested again. She spent a week in Tent City for driving on a suspended license. Investigators say as soon as she got out, she broke the law again by getting behind the wheel, picking up her 6-year-old daughter from school, and taking her to McDonalds then leaving her there.
When the 6-year-old girl couldn't find her mom, McDonalds' workers helped search. They realized the 6-year-old had been left behind so they called police.
Police caught up with Parra 15 minutes later when she came back to the McDonalds at 23rd Avenue and Bethany Home.
The 23-year-old mom was not even supposed to have one-on-one contact with her 6-year-old. CPS had taken away her custody.
According to court paperwork, Parra has a drug problem. She was booked into jail for child abuse.
According to court documents, Parra has done this before -- left her kids with family members without telling them to watch them. The problem there is that no one knew they were supposed to baby sit them, making the abandonment issue that much more glaring.
She's been released from jail on house arrest and has been ordered not to have any contact with her children.
The kids are in the care of CPS.

Updated Jan. 24, 2011 @ 5:55 p.m. ET
LAKE FOREST, Ill. — Bears head coach Lovie Smith confirmed that the MRI performed on Bears QB Jay Cutler's injured left knee Monday revealed a sprained medial collateral ligament.
"MCL sprain," Smith said. "That's what the injury was. We knew that. We had an idea at the time that that's what it was and that's what we're saying now."
Cutler hurt his knee late in the second quarter of Sunday's NFC championship game against the Packers at Soldier Field and was examined by doctors at halftime. He managed to play the opening series of the third quarter before being replaced by backup Todd Collins. Collins was ineffective in two series and was replaced by third-stringer Caleb Hanie, who rallied the Bears before falling short, 21-14.
Cutler's toughness was questioned by current and former players from other NFL teams, but Smith and his Bears teammates defended him Monday at Halas Hall.
"(Cutler) is a tough guy," Smith said Monday. "He wanted to win the game as much as anyone.
"It's pretty simple what happened yesterday. Before the half, Jay hurt his knee. He showed a lot of toughness to continue to play with it. Right before the half … the medical staff, we all of course made the decision then that he couldn't go. We took him in at the half to try to work on him, which we did. We got the treatment there at the halftime. Didn't know for sure if he would be able to go. He wanted to go and tried to go in the second half as he went back in that first series. Never want a player to be out on the football field and he just can't perform his duties."
Before being removed from the game, Cutler completed 6-of-14 passes for 80 yards with no TDs and one interception. He had performed brilliantly in the divisional-round victory over the Seahawks the previous week, throwing two TD passes and running for two scores in a 35-24 victory.
Smith was asked whether Cutler would have been able to return in time for the Super Bowl had the Bears advanced.
"If things had gone our way and we had made it to the Super Bowl, it would've been questionable (as to) whether he could have gone then," Smith said.
The way we see it
For all of the doubters and fans who were so quick to crucify Cutler for not continuing to play, the clarification about the severity of his injury should make them think twice about doubting Cutler in the future.
Cutler took a beating this season behind a subpar offensive line. He was sacked more times than any other quarterback and still managed to play in 17 of the team's 18 games this season, missing only the second half of the Week Four loss to the Giants and the next week's game against the Panthers after suffering a concussion.

Andy Caldwell first hit the scene in 1994 with his debut single "Superfunkidiculous" which quickly became an underground club hit, leading to a collaboration project with childhood friend Gabriel Ren�. The pair (along with sultry singer/songwriter Gina Ren� and turntablist Mei-Lwun Yee) formed the highly acclaimed outfit Soulstice. Caldwell and Ren� produced and wrote music for the band's stellar 2001 debut Illusion and subsequent remix collection Mixed Illusions (both released on San Francisco's seminal electronic imprint OM Records).
As a solo artist, Andy has produced a steady stream of quality releases for OM Records, Naked Music, UK-based deep house imprint Inspirit Music and for Deep Dish's renowned Yoshitoshi Recordings' sub-label Shinichi. Andy has also become an in-demand remixer supplying his trademark signature to releases from artists like Miguel Migs, Narcotic Thrust and Hani as well as releasing collaborative singles with the likes of Kaskade and Jay-J.
Throughout his career his works have appeared on numerous compilations such as Mark Farina's widely popular Mushroom Jazz series (OM), Deep Dish's massive Global Underground: Toronto, as well as on collections from Hed Kandi, Renaissance and Naked Music. He's also dj-mixed two volumes of Inspirit Music's Insoul Sessions (UK) and compiled a Sounds of Om collection.
Over the past three years, Andy has focused on touring as a DJ, affording him an opportunity to share his love of music with fans around the world, playing records in every major city on every continent. In 2004, he and longtime colleague Bob Haynes (of Inspirit Music) launched their own Uno Recordings imprint, a joint label dedicated to edgy, experimental music laced with soulful songwriting, strong vocal performances and musicality. With a growing roster that includes Caldwell, Mei-Lwun, Behrouz, Yoshimoto and Soulstice, the fledgling imprint has already made its mark on the electronic and dance music industry. On Late Night with Andy Caldwell, he digs deep into his crates to construct a luxuriant midnight oasis rich with mood-enhancing grooves and radiant textures. This dynamic tour-de-force is an eclectic yet sensuous late night mix of deep house and organic jazz-inflected grooves with a gritty electro edge. With an arsenal of essential tunes that embody San Francisco's warm, soul-stirring tones, Chicago's pulsating jazzy-house bounce, Detroit's gritty and futuristic techno-funk, West London's rudeboy swagger, and Germany's minimal tech-house washes, this collection is a sparkling reminder of just how brilliant house music can be.

Someone was having the Best Day of their Life by BDOML - over 1 year ago
"This began as an attempt as a morale boost at the office. New policies had been enacted and everyone was down in the dumps before the holiday season. "Best Day of My Life" was my way to help get people to smile. Everyone would ask me how I was and I would respond with "Best Day of My Life." It took on a life of it's own, and 35 people bought shirts to show their support for me as well as the cause. "

I want to create scrollable graphics, not so large, as fullscreen ( N900, Qt Creator 1.3.83). After looking in animated tiles sample, I wrote the code below:
QGraphicsScene scene(0,0,400,400); //Smaller size
scene.setBackgroundBrush(Qt::blue); //for the first attempt
QGraphicsView *view = new QGraphicsView (&scene);
return a.exec();
In Maemo emulator (once more, Qt Creator 1.3.83 ) it shows blue fullscreen, not 400x400 area.
When I'm setting 900x900 size during my attempts - scrollbars are visible. This means, that parameters are exactly passing inside constructor and accepted OK.
I made a try to set
same thing (full blue screen, not area). Emulator, or something is forgotten|not known by me - any advice? (Maybe, I set wrong color, as in BSOD? )
P.S. How window title area with clock etc. may be hidden?

On arrival to Venice from Heathrow a rep was there waiting and without any trouble boarded a coach to take us to the port where the ship was waiting. The embarkation went very smoothly. We had cabins opposite one another 6032 and 6031 great cabins in a nice quiet part of the ship we were never disturbed. Our attendant was brilliant and kept the cabins immaculate. We liked the idea of the Windjammer eating informally although every night we all dressed up anyway. Several nights we also ate in the King and I, we had paid our gratuities beforehand which enabled us to eat at any time, but you still need to book each night before if you want to get a certain time, as it is always full.
Food was varied and plentiful, lots of choices all day long. I had chosen the soda packages for the girls and the husband and these really were not need as there is free lemonade, tea, coffee, water all day long. I also ordered a water package which once again you do not need. I did not order a wine package for myself, but had a glass of wine when I wanted one... tip ask for the one on special offer each night as it is half the price!
There was something to see every night in the theatre, some good, some not so good. The swimming pools are fairly small so did not have a chance to swim. Plenty of sunbeds although close to one another.
The best thing of the trip was going to sleep and waking up in a new place. We did not take any of the tours on offer as most were much cheaper if you did them yourself. It would have cost 50 US to take us into Corfu by ship coach when the local bus is there and cost us 7euros! we walked back just a ten minute walk. Mykonos get off the ship and walk to the right through the shops you then come to a nice beach where we sunbathed and a drink at the cafe there. Because Dubrovnik old town was far from the port we did take the bus and knew then what time we had to spare without any hassle getting back. Athens we took a taxi to the train then to the train to the Colliseum which was easy.
On Disembarkation, come out and wheel your suitcases where you will find water taxis if you do not want to use the shuttle bus back to the airport. Instead of waiting there for three hours, we took a guided trip from a water taxi around Venice (he even stopped while we got postcards) then took us all the way to the airport, where once you get off the taxi is a 10 minute walk to the terminal.
It was a lovely trip, ate far too much but thoroughly enjoyed it all, a great experience for us all.

The West High School girl's softball team visited East Texas on Friday evening vying for a regional championship, just weeks after a fertilizer blew up in their home town, destroying numerous homes and businesses and killing 14 people.
Some of the players lost their homes. Four of them lost family members in the blast.
The team is in Athens to compete in the regional tournament.
People across East Texas have been inspired by the team. Athens Independent School District raised money all week to. They planned a special presentation at tonight's game.

Chef serves up a birthday treat at lunch
11:33am Monday 11th February 2013 in News
TWO schools held a community lunch for invited guests.
Snape Community and Thornton Watlass Church of England primary schools, which are federated together, opened their doors to members of their respective villages.
The visitors were given lunch, had a tour of the school, and were treated to some singing.
Diane Nicholson who was one of the guests, said: "It is lovely to see all the children and keep up to date with what is happening here. " Chef Karen Paling, who was celebrating her birthday the same day, prepared meals at both schools for the visitors, staff, and children. The visitors and children sang her an appropriate rendition of Happy Birthday.
Carol Brotherton, executive headteacher, said: "This was an opportunity for the community to stay in touch with the children, look round the local school, reminisce on their childhood and to create a real community spirit with a delightful home-cooked lunch.
We want the school to be the heart of the village."

Track & field returns to Gainesville Sunday for UF Invitational
The JU track & field team is back in action on Sunday to compete at the UF Invitational in Gainesville, Fla.
The Dolphins are back in Gainesville for the second straight weekend after opening the indoor season with the Jimmy Carnes Invitational on Jan. 14. JU also sits a month away from participating in the Atlantic Sun Indoor Track & Field Championships in Johnson City, Tenn. on Feb. 18.
"Our goal for each remaining competition is to make progress as we move towards the A-Sun Championship," JU head coach Ron Grigg said. "We'll be at much closer to full strength this weekend with most of the athletes competing in their primary events."
At the Jimmy Carnes Invitational, Freshmen Shanique Walker, Courtney Walker and Shadaey Campbell along with sophomore LaTonya Payne put together the biggest JU highlight by winning the 4x400-meter relay with a time of 3:50.96.
Senior Stacey Young was the top collegian in the 55-meter hurdles with a time of 7.96 for third place and posted a leap of 18'7.75" in the long jump for fifth. Both of Young's marks lead the A-Sun.
Junior Charlene Charles took third in the high jump (5'5.25"), while junior Akeela Bravo paced the throwers with a toss of 41'7" (3rd) in the shot put. Courtney Walker finished her busy first collegiate meet by placing fourth in the 55-meter dash (7.09).

A spring seasonal that has been out for a few weeks in early Feb. seems kinda odd,but heh I picked it up anyway.Poured into a standard pint a clear copper with a frothy 1/2 finger white head atop.Lemony aromas with some caramel sweetness,not overly assertive but not bad.Drunken apricots and caramel sweetness on the palate, the light sweetness makes me wanna grab more,the hop profile is not big but plays a big role in bringing everything together in this beer.Iam not a huge fan of the Sorachi Ace hop but it goes well with the other hops in this beer,a very good sessionable ale here although the alcohol is a little high for that title.

3.94/5 rDev +10.1%
A: A medium copper beer with good clarity. The head is off-white made of rocky bubbles with good retention.
S: A blend of American citrus hops and those tropical fruit New Zealand hop. There are hops aromas of grapefruit citrus, some mango a bit of passion fruit and an herbaceous note. There is a low bready malt aroma.
T: A strong, fruity, citrus and herb hop flavor with a medium-strong hops bitterness. There is barley enough malt to support the hops but it make for and easy drinking, bitter beer. The finish if off-dry with a quick bit off citrus hops bitterness in the aftertaste.
M: A medium bodied beer with a Medium-strong hops bitterness.
O: A very good Pale Ale with a great blend of hops. A refreshing beer that is easy to drink and in my case a great to cool off with after working on the car most of the afternoon.

12oz bottle. Pours a clear copper gold with a medium white head that goes to a thin film that laces the glass.
The aroma is wheaty malts and fruity hops. The hops are well done - I've had Sorachi Ace and Nelson Sauvin that were too over the top.
The flavor is sweet bready caramel malts and honey with some grassy, fruity, resiny hops that have decent bitterness for a pale ale. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with smooth carbonation.
Overall, a solid pale ale with good bitterness and nice hop profile. Nice to see that NBB can do something with hops that I like.

12oz brown bottle with a freshness date.
LOOK: Quick to froth and thick at that, clear pale amber color.
SMELL: Spicy, fresh crackers, faint taffy, lemon pith, poppy seeds, green peppercorn, ripe pears, dried grass
TASTE: Very smooth, medium body, hop bitterness, spicy start, thick herbal, summer orchard, pungent lemon, biscuity, bitter semi-dry finish
Jumping on the new hops here, some say they take some getting used though I disagree. It is like spicing your food, either some go well together and others you have to be more subtle with. I understand what New Belgium was trying to accomplish but the hopping misses the mark for me a little bit, still a decent quaff.

The beer pours a golden color with a white head. The aroma has quite a bit of tropical fruit as well as some grass from the hops and some biscuit malt. The flavor is more of the same. I get some pine and orange citrus, as well as a little bit of grass and some biscuit malt. The bitterness is very low and the beer is very drinkable. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

Serving glass: Poured from bottle into Nonic Imperial Pint.
Appearance: Clear amber orange with a decent sized head.
Smell: Lemon zest, grapefruit, other tropical goodness and some trademark New Belgium biscuit. Unfortunately, the biscuity aroma starts to take over after a few minutes.
Taste: The malt backbone is certainly Fat Tire-like with the biscuit notes, but a little lighter. The hops are quite nice, with lemon and an herbal spiciness prominent; not as much tropical goodness as the aroma.
Feel: Moderately high carbonation, medium light body, nice dry finish.
Overall: I like the use of the Sorachi Ace and Nelson Sauvin hops. The typical New Belgium biscuit flavor annoys me slightly, but ultimately the beer works quite well and is refreshing. Slightly better than the previous seasonal, Mighty Arrow.

Poured from 12 oz. bottle into a Sam Adams perfect pint glass. Date on bottle is May 20, 2012.
Appearance: Pours a bright and clear copper orange with lots of fast rising bubbles. Solid three fingers of white head with good retention. Lots of lacing sticking on the sides of the glass.
Smell: A fairly vibrant hop aroma with lots of floral and citrus hops. Grassy hops and lots of lemon zest. Hints of citrus mango, grapefruit, and orange. Also some hay like grains and bready malts. Pretty forward with the lemon grass and floral hops.
Taste: Hoppy with lots of lemon although the malt presence is a little heavier than in the smell. Grassy floral hops and citrus hops with notes of orange, mango, and lots of lemon zest. Solid backing of caramel malts and notes of hay and grains. Nicely balanced.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with a moderate level of carbonation. Slightly chewy. Finishes somewhat dry.
Overall: A nice take on the American Pale ale. Nice lemon zest flavor and well balanced by the malts.

Poured out a darker yellow, a little bit of orange thrown in 3/4" head on the top of it. Aroma, lacking the hop quality.
Taste, easy enough to drink, nothing too special, gets better when paired with chicken tacos. A little bit bitter, carbonation was lively, mild citrus rind notes. Usual absent hop flavor from sorachi ace hops.
A decent option when looking for a straightforward pale ale that doesn't douse you in hops. Or at least not pungent hops. Not much in the way of distinguishing malt flavors. A decent option to have, but nothing that is going to make me rush out for a second purchase. Standard fare for the most part in this neck of the woods.

Motorcyclists age 21 and older could have the option of riding without a helmet in Tennessee if a bill passes this week.
The "Motorcyclist Liberty Restoration Act" is expected to go before the Transportation Committees in the House and Senate on Wednesday.
While many riders think the decision should be up to them, opponents argue this move would be a major safety risk that would drastically increase the number of motorcyclist injuries and death.
Tennessee motorcyclists have been required by law to wear helmets since 1967.

The late Sir Arthur C. Clarke was loved by nerds and normals alike for his contributions to literature, film, and technology. Here's a rundown of the five biggest reasons we'll miss him.

The legend of Santa Claus goes way back, and branches off in many directions. But he has only used reindeer to pull his sleigh full of toys for the past 200 years or so... or at least that's as far back as the research goes. This article at Cryptozoology hints at even earlier beginnings. The veracity of this research is documented at the bottom of the page, but it's an interesting read. The true story of how Santa harnessed his reindeer is comparatively recent.

The people behind the sunny pair of Hostel movies (the sequel being the movie I wish I'd never seen) claim inspiration from an urban legend that in some awful corners of the world, there exist services that allow someone--after a bidding war--to walk into a room and shoot a willing participant, whose family is then compensated. May that legend ever stay urban. But in the case of designer kidnappings, the customer is also the victim, or, really, "victim." NYC-based artist Brock Enright is usually credited... READ ON
Hamburglar, one of Ronald McDonald's original McDonaldland posse, was first voiced by Howard Morris, and thereafter played in commercials alternately by Frankie Delfino and Gaetano Vicini, aka Tom Vicini (also a stunt double who paints religious murals--the one pictured is a piece he co-created for a Milwaukee church in 1986). There have been complaints that an icon like Hamburglar isn't positive for kids, but he's been infantilized over the years so that his penchant is, I suppose, forgivable; however,... READ ON
I suppose you can't really fault Norman Mailer for being seduced by Jack Henry Abbott. After all, he had already courted Gary Gilmore (complete aside--how wild was it when Mailer & his son appeared on Gilmore Girls?!), who had been acquainted with Abbott in prison. And then of course there's Mailer's whole romance/own problem with violence (i.e. the stabbing-his-wife-incident in 1960--she didn't press charges, but she did eventually publish a book about it).

I've been thinking about lycanthropy--maybe because we're just that much closer to Halloween, maybe because the "Back to the Future" ride is closing down (I just can't choose between McFly and Teen Wolf), or maybe it's because of all the traction that Sea Wolf song is getting (though my friends Hang the Lights romanced the topic quite beautifully first).

Rotary effort in Dorchester sees aid arrive in Philippines
1:00pm Monday 6th January 2014 in News By Harry Hogger, Dorchester reporter
VITAL aid made possible by the generous people of Dorchester has been making a difference in the wake of the Philippines typhoon disaster.
The county town rallied round after the typhoon struck last year, helping rotarians raise more than £10,000.
The money was used by the rotary club to fund Shelterboxes and Water Survival Boxes to provide relief to those affected by the disaster.
The Water Survival Boxes were collected at the Rotary Club of Chelwood Bridge in Somerset before being shipped out to Tacloban City and some were taken on to Olatayan Island.
A total of 60 of the first 600 Water Survival Boxes sent to one of two government forward command posts at Roxas City were funded by the Dorchester effort and were distributed on behalf of the rotary club by the Canadian Humanity First team.
After reports that access to clean water remained a major unmet need for many of the families displaced by or affected by the typhoon, a second consignment of boxes was sent out to the Philippines and arrived in Roxas City on Boxing Day while a further 240 are being made available.
Atual Layah, who has been running the Humanity First operation in Roxas City, told the Rotary: "You cannot imagine how much the recipients of the Water Survival Boxes appreciated your donation. I wish you could have seen their faces.
"Thanks for your help and keep up the good work."
A spokesman for the Rotary Club of Dorchester praised the county town for funding 60 of the boxes that were among the first to be sent out to the Philippines.
He said: "Bearing in mind that half the total was also donated to Shelterbox, this is a massive testament to the people of the county town.
"There is continuing demand for boxes into the future, because of as yet unseen disasters that will inevitably hit some part of the world in the future."

text: African adventure diary Wild about Africa When people hear the word "Africa" it conjures up images of wild animals, adventure, breathtaking scenery and hot, sunny days. If those are the pictures that come to mind, you wouldn't be too far off. After a brutal 31 hours in transit, the tour group found it hard to imagine why Cape Town is one of the most popular long haul destinations in the world. A thick fog had set over the peninsula and Table Mountain, which usually dominates the city, was nowhere to be seen. Once the fog lifted and we had caught up on some sleep, things took on a different perspective. We spent a busy few days travelling around the Cape Peninsula, visiting the little fishing village in Hout Bay, the Cape Of Good Hope Nature Reserve, the Cape Point Funicular, the Boulders penguin colony, the Groot Constantia Wine estate and the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens with its diverse fynbos flora and backed by natural forest. We then travelled the winelands situated north-east of Cape Town, visiting Stellenbosch and Franschhoek. The region is steeped in culture and history with some excellent examples of typical Cape Dutch architecture dating back to the 17th century and we enjoyed wine tasting at its best in areas set amongst rugged mountain ranges. Departing from the Victoria and Albert Waterfront we took a ferry ride to Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela spent 18 years of imprisonment. The outing included a tour of the prison buildings and a brief tour of the island itself. Fine weather prevailed so after returning to the mainland we scaled the steep incline of Table Mountain, not by foot but in the rotating cable car. The views of Cape Town and its coastline from the top were not to be missed. We were invited to Mont Fleur, a wine farm belonging to the Trafford family, for our last evening in the Cape, where we received warm hospitality, tasted fine wines and sampled Dutch and Malay styled dishes such as bobotie and potjiekos while mingling with our South Africans hosts and guests. Before flying off to Namibia we were fortunate to be met by one of the Museum directors at Iziko and while the critical shortage of funds for art and culture in South Africa was evident, the fine collection of San rock paintings and engravings made the visit worthwhile. We arrived in Swakopmund on Namibias Atlantic coast by bus after landing at Walvisbay airport and settled into the comfortable Swakopmund Hotel, once a railway station. We explored the local dunes with Tommy Collard, Namibia's Crocodile Dundee, who seemed to know where every creature was hidden, assisted by the telltale footprints in the sand, his Bushman roadmap. He would suddenly slam on the brakes of his all terrain vehicle, scamper up a dune and begin digging into the sand. Very soon he would return with one of the creatures endemic to the Namib: the sidewinder (Namib Adder), the Palmato Gecko with its transparent skin and beautiful colours, the slow moving but well camouflaged Namaqua Chameleon, the swift moving shovel snouted sand-diving lizard, a burrowing skink and even a spider. We discovered plenty of life in this seemingly desolate landscape and learnt much about the ways in which these creatures have adapted to life on and under the sand supported by moisture from the fog that drives in from the cold Atlantic. A candle lit dinner in the desert with background music by the local Marimba youth band was another unforgettable evening. The following morning we journeyed back to Walvis Bay, where before our next departure we enjoyed a scenic boat ride of the harbour with its birds including pelicans and a Sub Antarctic Skua and seals, some very large and very friendly which came aboard. A magnificent spread including oysters and champagne saw to it that no one went hungry. A short chartered flight via the coastline and the now fiercely protected Sandwich harbour, once a port but now sanded over and a sanctuary to thousands of birds and other desert creatures, found us in Sossusvlei, one of the most spectacular sights in Namibia where we were to experience the vastness and silence and the colours of the desert. The lodge was quite unique, built with adobe bricks and with tents for accommodation similar to those of the Bedouin. Sundowners enjoyed by a rocky outcrop in the red light of the sunset was sublime and the sumptuous buffet dinner held out in the open, included barbequed steaks of exotic African game species. Our sunrise tour of the Sossusvlei, a hard-surfaced clay pan that is almost entirely surrounded by sharp-edged dunes, was breathtaking in every sense of the word. Travelling by our own choice in open sided vehicles for 60 kms in the early hours of the morning and wrapped only in thin blankets, we found the last of the desert night air much cooler than expected. It was bitterly cold. When we arrived the lodge staff had set up a breakfast buffet with tables and chairs under very old Acacia trees for us to enjoy surrounded by the worlds highest dunes. Soon we had to depart. Our stay was regrettably just too short. After breakfast we flew to Botswana via Windhoek and Maun and in the late afternoon we landed on the partially flooded grassed landing strip at Camp Okavango in the Okavango Delta, Africa's most unique wildlife and wilderness sanctuary. Accessible only by air or water, the swamps remains wild and unspoiled, yet our accommodation was very comfortable consisting of East African-style safari tents with en-suite ablution facilities and private sun decks individually situated on raised teak platforms very necessary to keep the hippos out. The staff could not have been more friendly or professional. On arrival we were taken on a guided mokoro (dugout canoe) excursion and enjoyed our first sunset in the magical beauty and serenity of the Okavango Delta. The routine at camp was: early wake-up call (usually 6:00 am); meet for light breakfast ½ hour later; off on an activity; back to camp by 11:00ish; a big brunch & siesta; 3:30 high tea - usually including a variety of hot and cold dishes, sweets etc.; late afternoon activity including a stop for sundowners a most wonderful practice which included an open boot bar enjoyed overlooking a watering hole. Then back to camp for a sumptuous dinner followed by fireside chats with fellow guests eager to talk about their game viewing experiences. Staff and guides who grew up and lived most of their lives in the area ate with us at mealtimes and shared their passion for the Delta. Walking in the Delta's wilderness is definitely the highlight of a 'true safari' experience. On our first morning we left by motor boat for a nearby island for a 3 hour game walk. Water levels were high due to recent floods, making animal sightings more difficult as they tend to move further inland to higher ground. The guides were very knowledgeable and taught us to appreciate the many sights & sounds of the bush. The pervasive smell of wild sage and basil was an unexpected bonus. After 2 hours of walking we stopped for a rest having spotted lechwe, a hippo, a huge Nile crocodile, impala, monkey, giraffe and an elephant. It was only when one of our party stood up to take a group photo that she realised an angry elephant was coming straight for us. Run for it, our guide Obed shouted. Unfortunately there was only one tree which we soon realised was just not big enough to hide 12 people. Keep running the next instruction came. There was no other option but to cross the open grassland as the elephant was by now no more than 25 meters away and gaining on us. Fortunately it stopped when Obed fired two shots in its direction from a Bang Banger which he suddenly produced, which convinced the elephant that further advance in our direction was not a good idea. We certainly got the close up and personal wilderness experience on that outing. Camp Moremi was land based and all game viewing is by open 4x4 safari vehicles in the Moremi Game Reserve. This area is clearly the one with the largest concentration of animals and good sightings are never too far apart, especially as the staff could radio each other if they spotted something interesting. There were wonderful sightings of giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, impala, kudu, crocodile and hippo, countless species of birds and plenty of lions. We arrived within minutes of three lion taking a young zebra down and watched up close as a pack of thirteen females and cubs lay sleeping in the grass next to the road. The vehicles are open and it is a strange feeling to be only a few meters from a predator that could easily jump into the vehicle if it wanted to. The camp is secured by an electric wire at night, at a height to only keep out giraffe and elephant. After dark one had to be escorted by one of the guides when walking between the rooms and the main buildings. This was necessary as one of our couples found out one night when they came face-to-face with a hippo on the pathway. In the evening the staff would sing their African songs around the fire and we would crawl off to bed and fall asleep to the night sounds of the bush. Our final destination was Zambia. We stayed at the David Livingstone Lodge, right on the Zambezi, so that you could hear the sounds of hippos in the river at night. The main building is a beautiful thatch complex that fits neatly into the surrounding bush. We visited Mukuni village, an authentic tribal village where dozens of inhabitants live and work. One of the local women accompanied us on our walk and explained the customs of the village. Most people live in round thatched mud huts with a small garden often containing a vegetable area and a chicken coup. Few crops grow here as the soil is poor and the rainfall is slight but there is a real sense of community spirit and support. The David Livingstone Museum was very worthwhile and gave insight into the history of Zambia and its people. We ended the day with a relaxing river cruise on the elegant Lady Livingstone watching the sun set over the Zambezi river. The trip was rounded off with a visit to the Victoria Falls "Mosi-oa-Tunya," the smoke that thunders. An apt description for the awe-inspiring 1,708 meters wide waterfall that plummets between 90m and 107m into the Zambezi Gorge along the Zambian border. It was the flood season, the river was at its peak and it was impossible to see the foot of the falls due to the mist spray. During our walk along the opposite cliff we were in a constant shower and shrouded in mist. Close to the edge of the cliff, spray shoots upward like inverted rain, especially at Zambia's Knife-Edge Bridge where we got totally drenched. It was beyond spectacular and one of those things you have to see with your own eyes. I am beginning to understand the lure Africa holds over so many people. African Adventure 2009 GALLERY

Dealing With Homework
Ideally, the goal of homework is to reinforce concepts and skills introduced in school, and experts generally agree that the amount of homework kids are assigned should take about 10 minutes per grade per night. If experts and teachers agree this is the right balance, why then are parents around the country reporting that elementary-school kids are routinely dragging home two or three hours of homework a night?
Because of the emphasis on standardized tests, for one thing, says Bob Chase of the NEA: "Teachers, schools and students are being judged by these tests; pressures are being applied from all angles to make sure kids do well. Does this translate into more homework? The answer is yes."
In addition, says Shirley Igo, president of the National PTA, teachers may assign as homework any material that won't be covered by standardized tests. To free up class time for test prep, subjects like art appreciation, health education and citizenship may end up as homework tasks. The alternative is to skip them altogether.
Sometimes parents themselves are supportive of heavier homework loads, says Chase. "Many parents just don't understand the appropriate use of homework," says Chase.
"They think if children are working harder they must be learning more." In fact, overburdened kids actually learn less.

Dr. Walid Alshaikha is a Syrian-American who has been working and living in the Quad Cities now for over 10-years, but he has family in Syria.
He hasn't been in contact with his parents in over a month due to recent turmoil in that country and he's very worried.
"It truly breaks my heart that there's a very good likelihood that my parents are not going to see my kids anymore," he said.
With thousands of people now reported dead he says he's always expecting the worst because he's already lost family members of his own.
"I already lost a cousin not too long ago. About a week ago my cousin lost his brother in law which was the second parent that two children lost because their mother died just a few months ago in an explosion in the building where they live," he explained.
And he says things aren't getting any better:
"The saddest thing is that I know from what I hear what I see that this is just a small portion of what's really going on and it's even worse than what you see on TV."
Although it's tough, Dr. Alshaikha says he stays hopeful.
"It is hard on us, can you imagine how hard it is on the people who are in the middle of it?," he said. "The people actually are hopeful which surprises me, and I think just to honor that fact I have to stay hopeful, that the right thing is going to happen."
Mosques in Bettendorf and in Moline are organizing several different ways to help those in Syria.
