Kokomo Tribune
---- — I created quite a stir at the Unitarian Church last Sunday. Mary Ellen was embarrassed when she first heard it. The entire congregation was starting to look in my general direction. Noelle started elbowing her husband. She thought Dan was the instigator. Dan was almost 100 percent sure it wasn't him. Spouses were poking each other, and some of the kids were giggling. My wife thought I should excuse myself from the sanctuary.
Was that my stomach growling?
No one has this identification problem with other bodily eruptions. Everyone clearly knows who the originator is — although with one sound in particular (and its result) there is usually blame-shifting that unfairly maligns the family dog. But with things like sneezing, hiccupping and coughing, it's seldom an issue.
"Hey, Dick, that was quite a belch!"
"Actually, that was you, Bob. It's an easy mistake to make."
Even husbands and wives, after years of marital bliss, still ask one question as they drift off in each other's arms: Was that you or me?
I'll admit that I do have loud internal plumbing. Each week I record a version of this newspaper column for broadcast on the local public radio station. Scott Hoke, my producer, listens through his headset during the recording session to ensure the audio is top quality. "Let's do that last line over again, Dick. I just heard WFYI's sewer back up. Or was that your stomach?"
The technical name for a grumbling stomach is borborygmi. The term comes from the Greek word borborugmos. The dictionary says this is an example of onomatopoeia, a word that imitates the sound associated with something. Yes, just like the Anglo-Saxon term bowwow accurately mimics the noise your Rottweiler makes, the Greeks nailed it with borborgymi.
Now, before you start Googling (which is also medical jargon for what my stomach is doing), I have already looked up this symptom and I am now aware that stomach rumbling is one indication of about 35 different illnesses, including uremia, mesenteric ischemia, aerophagia and functional dyspepsia — none of which I had ever heard of. That meant I needed to Google those particular disorders, as well, but more Googling would have turned my stomach — which was the last thing I needed. By the way, don't look up things like insomnia, headache, fever, sweats or constipation unless you want to see a long list of diseases you could have … but probably don't.
When your insides churn noisily, your brain is sending a message to your gut to prepare for a meal. As one medical site notes, your belly is saying: "Hungry. No food here; must eat soon." Why do stomachs sound like Tonto talking to the Lone Ranger?
Apparently, your intestines are always growling, says another expert, but when you have eaten, you are less likely to hear them. "It's like putting a pair of sneakers in the dryer by themselves versus with a load of towels." That thought is enough to give you the munchies.
I've been at my computer writing this column all afternoon, and my wife just sent me an email saying she had a tough day and wants to go out for a quiet dinner. I hated to tell her, but that wasn't going to happen. Not when I'm this hungry.

GA. (WRCB) -- Friday marks one week since the Sandy Hook Elementary School
shooting that left 20 first graders and six teachers dead.
Friday night, North Georgians braved frigid temperatures and high winds to
gather in honor of the victims.
candles, they took time to honor the lives lost and pray for those left behind.
Those prayers came from parents and local children, who have a message for the
people of Newtown.
"We wish you
a Merry Christmas, with lots of good cheer even though your loved ones could not
be here," says Nicholas Riley.
Seven-year old Nicholas Riley hopes his words will mend the hearts of the
parents, who lost children in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.
"This year, we added a special angel to our tree, to support the little heroes
in your family," Nicholas says.
Nicholas and his sister Chloe stood with their mother, as songs were sung,
prayers were prayed, and candles lit.
Ashley Garner says she's been open with her children about the shooting.
"For one I wanted them to know if they knew what to do in case of an emergency,"
Garner says. "And, I wanted them to know how lucky we are to be together."
Dozens of people gathered outside Cloud Springs Elementary School, as pictures
of the 26 victims scrolled by.
In glove covered hands, families held candles with messages of hope and peace.
"We just felt like it was something we needed to do," says Jimmy Yarbrough from
"We wish them a Merry Christmas, and we are so sad," says Chloe.
Though they're hundreds of miles from the tragedy, these North Georgians want
the community of Sandy Hook to know they aren't alone.
"Don't be sad for the kids that you miss," Nicholas says. "This year, they were
on God's Christmas list."
Nicholas and
Chloe drew pictures to send to the families of the victims.

Lebanon —
Four families that built homes through the Boone County Habitat for Humanity program now own those dwellings free and clear.
Shirley Martin, Gloria Wells, and Karen Gochenour, and Tammy and Juan Echeverria have achieved the dream of paying off their mortgages.
"In today's economic environment, it is very rare to see a homeowner pay off their mortgage," said Deb Clark, a Habitat for Humanity board member. "Our Habitat families understand the importance of home ownership and work hard in all areas of their lives to make that a reality for themselves."
The Gochenours moved into their home in 1993.

Kevin MacRitchie is part of the Cisco Systems "Giving Back" program in which key executives are loaned to not-for-profit organizations and state and local government agencies to provide business and technology expertise on key initiatives. Mr. MacRitchie started his initiative to help the Livingston County School System (MI) expand and develop a technological advantage that would provide superior education for their students. This project has grown to embrace other school districts, county governments, and first responders, and has now expanded to a statewide initiative that will include 16-20 counties and create east-west and north-south interconnected corridors. Kevin presents at state educational conferences and speaks with Congress in Washington, D.C. on the topic of how technology can help the economy and its effects on education.
As the vice president and chief global strategist for the Global Government Systems Group at Cisco Systems, Inc., Mr. MacRitchie established a world-class team focused on expanding Cisco's ability to address the exceedingly complex defense and public safety challenges facing governments worldwide. Kevin's team provided the coordination and subject matter expertise that enabled the Cisco in-theater teams to provide core, advanced, and emerging technologies to meet the needs of their government customers while driving the growth of Cisco's global public sector.
Mr. MacRitchie joined Cisco in April 1993 as a systems engineer and quickly moved through the ranks of the Systems Engineering Organization as a systems engineering manager and a systems engineer director. As a director, he led the U.S. Federal System Engineering Team to achieve its highest customer satisfaction results. Kevin later played an instrumental role in driving Cisco's Global Y2K Readiness Program. Promoted to vice president of WW Channels Technical Operations in August 2004, MacRitchie's innovative strategies enabled the success of Cisco's Partner Community through focus on partner development, brand protection, and customer and partner satisfaction and loyalty. Following his success in Channels, Kevin led the Global Defense, Space, and Homeland Security arm of Cisco's Global Government Solutions Group (GGSG). In that role, Kevin expanded GGSG's reach far beyond the U.S. and Canadian borders, creating opportunities in the fastest growing markets in the global public sector.
MacRitchie holds one of the industry's first Cisco Certified Internetworking Expert (CCIE) certifications.
Kevin, his wife, and two children live in Michigan on their horse, cattle, and buffalo ranch.

The mangled pieces of metal on the Kennedy Expressway are the beginning of 'Carmageddon.'
"I was expecting a little chaos," said Steve Hennessy, a Naperville resident.
Despite the cones, construction and detours greeting weekend commuters navigating their way to the city, Naperville resident Steve Hennessy says surprisingly the drive was a smooth one – taking just 40 minutes.
"I thought about taking the train because of 'Carmageddon,' the bridge and all the festivals that were going on but the drive wasn't bad," said Hennessy.
"It wasn't that bad at all. Transportation was easy right down North so it wasn't bad for us," said Kristen Deangelis, a Wicker Park resident.
"As we were coming in on the train, the cars were flying by us at this point so I think people were frightened away from driving," said Sue Baader, a Kildeer resident.
Despite a packed Taste of Randolph Street, from above, Blues Fest looked bare, with empty seats even though organizers insist there was no impact from 'Carmageddon.'
"But possibly tomorrow people will be driving if they've seen that it was open a little bit more but it could be pretty bad tomorrow," said Baader.
Late Saturday afternoon, the Illinois Department of Transportation announced the project to remove all of the old Ontario Street bridge of the Kennedy Expressway will now take place over two weekends instead of three.
"We came on the train. Normally we would have driven in but we heard about the construction and did not want to be a part of all that," said Baader.
"I think I just saw it primarily on social media, Facebook and Twitter. I saw that there was going to be a problem and avoided it at all costs," said Tim Cyborski, a Mokena resident.

Seen Off Broadway:
One of the great revelations of recent seasons has been the emergence of Liev Schreiber as a skilled Shakespearean leading man. That's why, in the current Public Theatre/Shakespeare in the Park production of Henry V, it's disconcerting to see him nearly upstaged by director Mark Wing-Davey. No one should have to contend with Wing-Davey's gimmick-a-minute approach--to wit: the clergy's argument against France is staged as a kind of medieval Powerpoint presentation; Pistol (Bronson Pinchot) and Nell Quickly become a pair of Brooklyn greasers with Noo Yawk accents, the French King and his court appear in bathing suits; when they turn around, letters on the back of their robes spell out "Vive La Guerre!"
Schreiber seizes the stage in Henry V Photo: Michal Daniel.
But, like Henry rallying the troop on St. Crispin's Day, Schreiber leads an adept company--including Steven Rattazzi's lucid Chorus, Daniel Oreskes's dignified Duke of Exeter, and Peter Gerety's touching Fluellen—to a series of tactical successes. Best of all, Nicole Leach scores a mini tour-de-force in two roles, as Falstaff's page and Princess Katherine of France; the scene in which Henry woos Katherine across their language divide, aided by her attendant (the primly hilarious Mercedes Herrero) is a high-comedy gem. The design is well-executed, although there is, arguably, too much of it. Mark Wendland's setting is dominated by dozens of gold chairs, plus an upstage bridge with a billboard that features, among other things, a giant state portrait of Henry and Katherine. Gabriel Berry's costumes begin with a period look then switch over to more eclectic territory; some of it is superb (Katherine's dresses) and some of it is silly (those bathrobes, Pistol's sleazy tuxedo). David Weiner pulls off some stunning lighting effects, particularly in the battle scenes. The sound design by Acme Sound Partners is a fluid blend of music and effects, although sometimes it overpowers the actors; still, the Acme team has achieved a major upgrade in sound quality at the Delacorte Theatre. That's a lot to pick at in this production, but it does have certain sweep, an intelligent and well-spoken cast, and a magnetic star. What more do you want for free?
Michael Cunningham's novel Flesh and Blood follows one Long Island family through five decades of wrenching changes. It begins with the bullying, driven Greek immigrant Constantine Stassos, who gets rich building cheap housing developments, and his unhappy, self-doubting wife Mary. It continues with their three children: Susan, a suburban matron; Billy, a gay schoolteacher; and Zoe, who drifts around the East Village picking up drugs and men. It concludes with Jamal, Zoe's son by a black lover, and Ben, Susan's "perfect" son, who is crippled by a violent, inexplicable self-hatred. The novel is highly readable, but Cunningham struggles to keep control of his unwieldy plot; a similar problem plagues Peter Gaitens' stage adaptation, now at New York Theatre Workshop.
Cherry Jones finds family life is no party in Flesh and Blood Photo: Joan Marcus.
Even with a running time of three and a half hours, it's all Gaiten can do to get the story on stage; what's missing are the little details, moments of insight, and bits of narrative connective tissue that you keep interested in these characters. The result is a churning soap opera about a family torn by homosexuality, incest, adultery, AIDS, and various secrets and lies. Even with his extreme fidelity to the book, Gaitens oversimplifies and sanitizes the subplot about Ben and Jamal until it doesn't really make any sense, which kills the power of the final scenes. In addition, Doug Hughes' production is not well-cast. John Sierros' Constantine isn't the menacing loose cannon of the book; Mary's gnawing insecurities are obliterated by Cherry Jones' self-assured portrayal. (You'll really wonder how these two ever got together.) A deeper problem is the story's essential banality: do we really need to hear again that the 1950s suburban ideal was not all it was cracked up to be? Do we really need another all-wise drag queen like Cassandra, Zoe's friend, whose main function is to dispense little nuggets of truth to the others? In spite of its extreme length, the production is reasonably well-paced, and there is good work from Jessica Hecht as Susan, Peter Frechette as Billy's steadfast lover Harry, and Martha Plimpton, who visibly ages as Zoe succumbs to AIDS. Christine Jones' unit setting—two walls and a staircase in front of bare trees—is drab and generic and Scott Zielinski's no-color lighting adds the general pall. David Van Tieghem's sound design is awfully minimal; more scene-setting cues would have been helpful. On the other hand, Paul Tazewell's costumes are first-rate, nailing each time period with notable accuracy. Flesh and Blood is an interesting experiment, I guess, but great plays are made of different materials.
Café a Go Go was seen in London under the title A Slice of Saturday Night, where, according to the program, it broke records, had four national tours, plus 300 more productions in nine languages. I have no explanation for this. Yet another nightclub show posing as a musical, Café a Go Go wants to do for the British Invasion what Grease did for 50s rock and roll. But I'm afraid it's a no-go. The action, set in a London clubs circa 1966, is non-existent; the script consists mostly of raging-hormone jokes. The score hasn't been composed so much as sampled from period hits--one song features the exact same chord progression found in "Summer Lovin," from Grease--but the results are strictly B-side stuff. There's a song about vomiting, another about premature ejaculation. One number is performed, in its entirety, offstage; I'm still trying to figure that one out.
Cafe a Go Go Photo: Carol Rosegg.
The scenery, lighting, and sound, by Cameron Anderson, Rick Sands, and Janet Kalas, look to be the products of too little time and money. (I felt bad for Kalas who has to contend with the loudest air-conditioner in New York). Brian Giacchetto is billed as costume coordinator, but his work is at least amusing, providing an extensive catalogue of 60s fashion crimes. Be warned that the show includes some participation—you will be urged to get up and dance with the cast. The producers also gave us Tony and Tina's Weddding; they shouldn't expect a similar success.--David Barbour
Dirty Pretty Things Photo: Laurie Sparham/Miramax Films.
Seen at the Movies: Stephen Frears' Dirty Pretty Things is a beautifully made but very strange film about illegal immigrants in London and the lengths they go to change their status. The protagonist is Okwe (an excellent Chiwetel Ejiofor), a Nigerian doctor who in England is confined to work by day as a taxi driver and by night as a hotel desk clerk. At the latter location, he stumbles across a black market operation in human organs, and is able to practice his profession for the first time since leaving his native country. There are a few gruesome sequences involving kidney removals, and the overall air of queasiness is enhanced by DP Chris Menges' propensity for blue-green light. On the other hand, the movie and its imagery burst with vitality, and the cast comprises an engagingly motley crew, from Audrey Tautou as a Turkish hotel maid to Sergi Lopez as the oily ringleader of the hotel's illicit operations. Production designer Hugo Luczyc-Wyhowski makes expert use of the unusual London locations, and gives the hotel rooms, which are mostly built sets, the feel of locations, too. Dirty Pretty Things is a little too schematic in its view of exploiters and exploited, but it's well worth seeing.--John Calhoun

My company is interested in publishing personalization content through OVI.
But nowhere can I find information about how to become a premium publisher. I see other people asking about publishing personalization items but no answer from Nokia. Someone from Nokia/OVI needs to step up and provide this information. Please.
We were interested in offering some of our back catalog of j2me games on OVI as well, but the java verified requirement is effectively preventing us from doing so because getting numerous titles through certification will be a considerable expense for titles already published through other channels.
Thanks in advance for your answer.

Police in Wadeboro say no charges have been filed in a wreck that killed a 13-month-old girl on Christmas Day.
According to the Wadesboro Police Department, officers were called to US 74 near Morven Freight Line Road on Wednesday around 4:01 pm to the report of a crash.
Thirteen-month-old Alexis Hooper was killed in the crash.
According to Wadesboro Police, the Hooper family was in the Volkswagen, heading back home to Gaston County after a holiday get-together in Hamlet.
Police say the family's Volkswagen crossed the center line and hit an oncoming Dodge Intrepid.
According to officers, driver Alexander Hooper, his wife Kelsey Hooper and his younger brother Caleb Hooper were injured in the crash, as well.
Officers say both vehicles were on fire when they arrived, but the fire was restricted to the engine compartments of both vehicles.
Officers say a passenger in the Dodge, Saundra Davis, had to be rescued from the vehicle and airlifted to Carolinas Medical Center-Main in Charlotte. She is currently listed in Fair condition.
Her husband, Clay Davis, was transported to Anson Community Hospital where he was later released.
Carolinas Medical Center says Alexander Hooper and Kelsey Hooper have been upgraded to Fair condition. Caleb Hooper was treated and released.
According to police, Samaritans stopped to assist the two families and helped get them out of the vehicles before first-responders arrived.
Alexis Hooper, 13-month-old, was airlifted to Carolinas Medical Center where she was later pronounced dead.
Police say Alexis was properly fastened in an approved child passenger safety seat, which was properly installed in the vehicle.
"After a careful examination of the evidence, the investigative team has been able to definitively determine that no type of alcohol, narcotic or pharmaceutical impairment was involved in this collision," officials told WBTV on Monday. "Both drivers of each vehicle all tested negative for any type of an impairing substance."
Officers say both vehicles were doing the appropriate speed and they do not have any reason to believe that fatigue was involved.
"Our investigative team has met with the District Attorney's Office and presented our evidence and findings to them," officials told WBTV. "We are awaiting a decision from them as to whether or not any charges will be filed against any driver's involved in the crash."
"This tragedy is one felt by all of us. It's a terrible thing to lose a family member, especially on a day that is centered around being together with family," said Chief Thedis Spencer of the Wadesboro Police Department.
"I want to let the families of all of those involved know that the officers of the Wadesboro Police Department send out our condolences and prayers to you," he continued. "I also want to thank all of the good Samaritans who stopped to help, as well as all of the officers and first-responders who, when faced with a devastating tragedy, worked professionally and diligently to help these two families in their time of need."
Monday night, friends and family members held a vigil for the Hooper family in Dallas, NC. About 100 people came out to show their support for the family.

Thanks to Will for this one. Shared with my wife.
Pours a dark brown with a lot of white foam that doesn't quite turn into a head. Sort of russet around the edges. The smell is faint leather, some plum, a little wood. It's quite sweet, really, reminding me of a mild cola; lots of melon and fruit, with some rich undertones of tobacco. It's quite effervescent, but creamy at the same time - very pleasant. A nice treat that I'm glad I was able to try.

Many thx to Thijs for opening this very rare bottle
Poured into a westy 12 tastingglass
Poured medium-to-deep amber with no head.
The aroma picked up soft, dusty, spicy yeast over well-aged toffee, raisins, and dates The flavor held up as well with some caramel and accents of port , raisins, and faint smoke
Medium-bodied with lower carbonation on the palate..

33cl bottle poured into Crooked Stave tulip
Mid/late-90's, I gather from discussions with the individual who passed this my way. Cheers!
I shared this at a random Wednesday afternoon tasting at Crooked Stave (thanks Chad for welcoming us!) as part of "December to Remember - 2012". Drank alongside Westvleteren Dubbel, amongst others.
A: Light brown. Quarter, (tan) fingernail, bubbly head on medium pour. More carbonated than its brethren!
S: Notes of dark fruit, raisin, light brown sugar, and breadiness. Touch of mild cherry here too.
T: Hidden cherry starts things off followed by soft dark fruit, caramel, and cardboard. Touch of sour too and I know this thing is past its prime.
M: Medium/full bodied with soft (nearly flat) carbonation.
O: Surprisingly bad and over-the-hill. Quite strange to me considering this bottle is younger than the Red Cap. I find it amazing that the lower ABV withstood time more resiliently than this. Granted they are different styles, but they generally have the same characteristics in my opinion. My recommendation, do not bend-over-backwards to get this.

Poured from a 33 cl bottle, into a tulip.
A: Hay colored. Lots of carbonation. Pours a cascading bubbly head. Settles fairly quickly, but does leave a smattering of bubbles on the surface. Sparse spiderweb lacing.
S: Fresh cut grass and hay. Sourdough.
T: Fresh cut grass, a little honey, bitter rye, and a little bready.
M: Light, crisp, bittersweet finish.
D: Not much resistance. Go for it.
Atmosphere is good. Nice hue, carbonation, and head. Nose is bittersweet and grassy. Flavor is fresh cut flora, with some sweet notes. Overall, this is a really good quaff.

Drank at Kulminator, Antwerp 98 vintage from a st sixtus chalice
A - Pours a nice deep mahogany colour with a an off white two fingered head that stays the distance, amazing
S - Port, toasted bread and raisins. Very pronounced.
T - Wow, this beer has held up amazingly well, the yeast and raisins are very evident still with a little port like flavours as well. The finish is so smooth and not boozy at all.
M - the carbonation is almost all there with the body medium. Smoothness is impressive.
O - Although this beer is 13 years old I'm amazed at how well it has held up. So much flavours and complexity still exists in this beer. It's a privalidge to taste masterpieces like this and although a little past it's best I cannot mark it down because it has truly lasted the test of time and for a beer that is only 6.2% that is quite remarkable.

A huge thanks to drabmuh for sharing this whale of a beer with us on his birthday.
The beer is orange hued, displaying a thick, lasting head that coats the chalice with a sheet of lacing.
The aroma offers malt, butterscotch, basement, rain water, canteloupe. Interesting. It does smell old...like a monk's closet.
The flavor was decent, especially given the age of the beer. Interesting to say the least. Dank basement, melons, butterscotch, caramel malt.
I was really impressed with the mouthfeel. Perfect carbonation and silky smooth on the palate.
Overall, what an experience. Thanks Matt!

This has been a long time coming, a personal "whale" of mine, drinking a Westvleteren 6 out of a Westvleteren goblet...doesn't get much more "baller" than that in my mind. I loved this experience.
Beer is amber to brown with a slight haze, almost no head, low carbonation, no lacing, no retention.
Aroma is sweet, almost cherry like, mild sherry notes, thin, perhaps a bit oxidized.
Beer is sweet, bright on the palate, not funky at all, drinking pretty nicely, mild notes of oxidation on the palate, a strong finish on the beer overall. I enjoyed it and if possible I'd have it again.

From 02/25/12 notes. Bottle shared by drabmuh at his birthday tasting; thanks Matt, was very excited to try this one. Tried in line with a 25 year old bottle of Westy 8, a relatively newer Westy 8, and a Westy 12.
a - Pours a murky mahogany brown color with one inch of off white head and moderate carbonation evident.
s - Smells of fruity malts, raisins, dark fruits, a little musty, bready malts, light caramel. Smell is sweet and a little oxidized, but still very nice.
t - Tastes of dark fruits, raisins, sugar, fruity malts, earthy notes, more musty then the nose, sweet. A step down from the nose and oxidized again.
m - Medium body and low carbonation. Pretty easy to drink.
o - Overall a nice beer but a bit oxidiized and I'd guess a bit past its prime. Taste was a little too sweet for me. Very cool to try and was better then the 25 year old Westy 8, but didn't compare to the fresher Westy 8 and Westy 12. I'd suggest drinking yours now if you've got one left.

Huge thanks to drabmuh for acquiring this bottle. Served in a small Westvleteren chalice.
A: Pours a very slightly-hazed amber-copper color with a half-finger white head and just a bit of spotty lacing on the way down.
S: The nose carries a pretty heavy amount of fruit. Slight oxidation plus a bit of cherry and other dark fruits. Almost a touch of melon waiting in the background.
T: The flavor is a bit less traditional. Some melon-type flavor comes through along with a bit of bread and a touch of caramel. Really quite interesting. Maybe a bit of strawberry. There are definitely fruits present, but not in the traditional way. Hard to place.
M: Body is light to medium with good carbonation and a semi-dry finish. Very light bitterness.
O: This has held up fairly well. Good fruit presence and a bit of malt. Assuredly past its prime, but still certainly worth a try.

With thanks to BA Brabander, I was able to try this beer. Brabander brought his beer to a tasting organized by Fiona de Lange (the Dutch beer lady).
A - A murky fluid with no head whatsoever.
S - It has got the smell of a sweet sherry.
T - Gone! This beer is long gone! It became sour. Not that I mind though, because of the sweet sherry it is very nice to drink.
M - A very light carbonation, no bitterness.
O - I would love to try one that is still good.

Had at Akkurat. Pour is slightly murky brown with ruby red edges and a light tan head. The nose has tons of sweetness, loads of raisin, caramel malt, syrupy dark berries. The taste is more balanced but also less bright. Seems a touch oxidized, raisins and caramel are most dominant, syrupy dark fruits almost artificial berry-like, flavor thins out in the finish. Full bodied, very thin finish, syrupy texture on the tongue, light carb and slightly oily.

Brown glass bottle with no label and the distinctive Red Westvleteren cap served into a goblet at Akkurat in Stockholm, Sweden, in July 2011. Vintage was 1996, making it roughly fifteen years old. Cost was a brutal 295 SEK (~43 USD at the time). They had to fetch this from the cellar for me, and it was opened pretty carefully. Served fairly cool but not too cold.
Reviewed from detailed notes.
A: Pours a half finger head of brilliant beautiful cream, good thickness, and bad retention for the ABV. The head is white in colour, while the beer is a very appealing dark ruby-black. I can't wait to dive in.
Sm: Cherry, raspberry, strawberry - all light fruit hop esters (as opposed to 'dark' fruit like in the other three Westvleteren beers I've tried). It's a very excellent fruit aroma all around. Refreshing, and evocative of fruli or framboise summer beers. I didn't expect the fruits to smell as bright and pleasant as they do. Amazing, pleasant, and perfect. Incredibly subtle; I think the age has done the aroma well.
T: Creamy foundation with bright fruit ester hops atop. Everything from the nose is present; lots of strawberry dominates. There's a bit of a water note, no doubt from the aging. Structurally, each act is quite brief but impressively flavorful. The climax is bright ester laden. It's brilliantly balanced, ignoring the water (which is easy to do). It's beautifully artfully constructed. Complex and wonderful.
Mf: Masterfully complementary of the flavours of the body. It's a bit vinegary/watery after the climax, but that's not the brewer's fault. It's delicately soft, subtly creamy, and incredibly well suited to the complexity of the taste. Very carefully crafted indeed.
Dr: The obscene price is to be expected. No alcohol comes through. It's a wonderful beer but sadly it seems to be getting steadily worse with time; it probably peaked five years ago. Drink it while you can, because soon it will be shite vinegar (see La Trappe Amber). I've given is a score based on its full character as is now, but I suspect at its peak it was an A- or even an A. Either way, it's fantastic.
[Note that I gave it a B+ at time of review, prior to the new number system coming in. A B+ at that time was 3.76-4.00.]

With a heat advisory in effect, it's not a day to be without air conditioning, but there are some people at a Northland apartment complex who are dealing with that exact problem.
"The A/C doesn't work. There's leaks on floors and ceilings," resident Stephanie Mitchell said.
There is a laundry list of problems at the Englewood Apartments, and residents said it's gone from depressing to dangerous.
"Water is leaking from the pipe down and it turns into mold," another resident, Tashema Akins, said.
"Electrical problems, like the light switch. When you click one of them on, it sounds like it's popping in the back," said yet another resident, Shaniqua Johnson.
At the apartments on Northwest Waukomis Drive, it seems everywhere you turn there's a problem.
From mold to broken windows, plumbing problems, even gas leaks, residents said they have filed complaints.
"We've tried contacting HUD [the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development], we've tried contacting the management team, we've tried finding out the owner's name," Johnson said.
But there's been no help.
Some problems like Johnson's broken window, which a winter storm blew out seven months ago, is frustrating but she's been patient. With temperatures soaring and air conditioners out in several apartments, she now said her patience is shot and some said it's now a dangerous situation.
"My concern is my kid with asthma and he can't be in this type of situation," Akins said.
Akins has a letter from Children's Mercy Hospital insisting her son have basic utilities and still she has seen no change.
"We are suffering. It's hot outside. I don't have anywhere else to go," she said.
Local management for the apartments referred KCTV5 to corporate, who didn't answer any questions either.
In the meantime, residents with no other options said the problems keep piling up.
"You don't know what you are going to get at Englewood," Johnson said.
The apartments are a part of Section 8 housing. The local HUD office sent KCTV5 to their state office. No one at the state office was available to address the concerns.

Hello, we are developing a test application using Nokia 3220, finally we are going to use the following SDK: Nokia_NFC_RFID_SDK_1_1. For a first prototipe we want to simplified the application not using the Secure Element of Nokia 3220.
Testing, we have seen that Nokia 3220 is detected by our external reader as it was a Mifare 1k Tag.
is it possible to write from an external recorder in Nokia 3220 as it was a Mifare 1k Tag?
if this is possible, can I read or write from this "virtual tag" from a Midlet?
Looking for information in the discussions forums I have seen references to a "Tag-emulator mode" but I have not seen references to "Tag-emulator mode" in the documentation I have.
Thanks in advanced.

Uncertain global macro economy may have slowed the pace of growth for the Indian BPO players, but it is nowhere near stagnation and companies need to explore new geographies to keep the momentum going, BPO firm EXLService Holdings said on Wednesday.
"The industry (BPO) is growing. It is slower to what people have historically got accustomed to, but it is certainly not stagnant.
"It is consequent to what is happening in other parts of the world. Also, the industry is maturing... maintaining growth rates of mid-2000 is going to be challenge," EXL Service Executive Vice President and COO, Pavan Bagai, told PTI.
"However, we do not see the industry anywhere close to stagnation...we are still bullish about the industry," he added.
Bagai said most of the large banks and companies have already outsourced many of their processes.
"BPO firms now need to tap into regional or mid-tier insurance companies/banks/or whichever industry they are playing in, in the existing geography," Bagai said, adding that the players also need to expand into new geographies in Europe or other parts of the world where they see potential.
Stating that going forward, healthcare and analytics will be two major areas for the industry, Bagai said the work that the BPO companies are now handling is more complex than before and they need to focus on enhancing domain expertise to tap new businesses.
"We need to enhance our capabilities and our offering because the new stuff is more complicated and requires greater understanding of the business of our clients... domain knowledge is extremely important to tap into new set of areas and activities that have not been out sourced," he said.
The Indian BPO industry contributes to over 37 per cent of total global sourcing BPO revenues
Talking about the industry growth in the near future, Bagai said: "The current rate of growth will continue for next couple of years... depending on what happens to the rest of the world, if they come out of recession and investment activity are aggressive."
He, however, added that while the global economic slowdown does open up more opportunities for the sector as clients look to outsource business to save cost, the decision making process by potential clients also slows down and the deal sizes also shrink.

Although neck pain can be the result of stress, age or injury, it is most often associated with poor posture.
Chest pain could be simple indigestion or a heart attack. Knowing the warning signs of a heart attack, and knowing how to respond, could save a life. The following guidelines can help you make the right decisions and take the right steps when seconds count.
Bruises are a part of life. By the time you notice a bruise, though, it's already started to heal.
Fainting is a loss of consciousness, falling down or needing to lie down, followed by spontaneous recovery. Fainting by itself is not a problem, but it could be a sign of a serious health condition.
To reduce scarring, keep the skin area out of the sun. Ultraviolet rays can darken your scar, making it more noticeable.
If you're heading out of town, and you or your child has allergies or asthma, proper planning can help you keep sneezes, sniffles, wheezing and attacks under control.
Whether you buy a first aid kit at a drug store or put one together yourself, make sure it has all the items you may need, such as medications and emergency phone numbers.
Appendicitis, an infection of the appendix, is the most common reason for a child to need emergency abdominal surgery.
Common injuries include a twisted ankle, sprained wrist, overextended elbow and damaged knee ligaments. Fortunately, you can take steps to help prevent joint damage.
You may think wearing goggles is enough to protect your eyes, but many injuries can happen to your eyes that goggles won't prevent.
Knowing about common injuries and how to prevent them can keep you on track toward achieving your fitness goals.
We bruise when blood vessels beneath our skin rupture and bleed. As alarming as these purplish marks can be, they're usually harmless. With passing years, however, they become increasingly common with the mildest bump or blow.
A good guideline to follow is that a medical emergency is any time your child has an injury or illness you believe threatens his or her health or may cause permanent harm.
If you know CRP, you could make the difference between life and death for a stranger or someone in your family.
The number of people losing their vision is growing, yet experts say much of this vision loss could be prevented.

Sea Turtle Nesting Season is March Through October
Sea turtles are marine reptiles that have existed since the Age of Dinosaurs. Of the seven species of sea turtles worldwide, three of these, the loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta), the green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas), and the leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) nest regularly on the beaches of Broward County from April through September every year. The loggerhead is the most common sea turtle using the area for nesting. In fact, Florida, from the Space Coast to the Gold Coast, is the second most important nesting area in the world for loggerhead sea turtles.
Florida Sea Turtle Species
Kemp's Ridley(endangered)
Sea turtle populations have been seriously reduced world-wide through a number of human influences. Over-developed coastal areas have reduced natural nesting habitats while capture of adult turtles for eggs, meat, leather, and tortoise shell has decreased breeding populations. Incidental capture of adults in fishing nets and shrimp trawls is also a significant factor contributing to sea turtle mortality.
Sea turtles in Florida are protected through Florida Statutes, Chapter 370, and by the United States Endangered Species Act of 1973. Briefly, these laws state that: "No person may take, harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture or attempt to engage in any such conduct to marine turtles, turtle nests, and/or turtle eggs." Any person who knowingly violates any provision of the act may be assessed civil penalties up to $25,000 or a criminal penalty up to $100,000 and up to one year imprisonment.
Sea Turtle Nesting Season
The nesting season in Broward County begins in early March of each year with the leatherbacks, followed by loggerheads in April, and greens in May and June. Leatherbacks are less predictable and can nest as early as February or March. Nesting continues through the end of September, with the peak season for loggerheads being the end of June and the beginning of July. If undisturbed, the females leave the water at night and crawl up the beach where they dig an egg chamber cavity.
After resting briefly, they then deposit approximately 100 golf-ball size eggs, gently cover the eggs with sand and then they spread sand over a wide area to obscure the exact location of the chamber. They then leave the nest site and reenter the water.
Since adult sea turtles do not nurture their hatchlings, the female never sees the nest site again. A single female may nest several times during a season and then not nest again for one or two years. Approximately half of all emergences result in a female crawling on the beach for long distances and reentering the water without digging a nest. These are called "false crawls" and usually occur because the turtle was disturbed or it could not find a suitable nest site. The crawl tracks left on the beach are always made by female sea turtles and they resemble marks left by a tractor tire. Male sea turtles never leave the ocean.
Incubation of the nests takes about 45-55 days. Here in Broward County the eggs that are deposited in the chambers are either left to incubate naturally or are moved, (relocated) to a safer area of the beach. Some of the nests are relocated because of the extent of the development on our beaches and the bright lights from condos, streets, and highway traffic. The relocation process serves to protect the emerging hatchlings so they can exit the nest and traverse the beach to the water on their own. Nests that are not moved are those that are already on safe beaches.
After incubation, the hatchlings emerge from the nest en masse and, using various environmental and inherited cues, quickly migrate to the water's edge. If artificial lights are lighting the beach, the hatchlings will be disoriented, travel in the wrong direction, and possibly never make it to the water.
Once in the water the hatchlings swim directly out to sea, facing a perilous struggle to survive to adulthood. The best scientific estimates available indicate that only one in 1,000 hatchlings will survive (anywhere from 12-50 years) to become a reproductive adult sea turtle.
The maximum age of adult turtles is unknown, but some have been kept in captivity longer than 50 years.
Sea Turtle Emergency Line
Report all stranded (dead, sick, or injured) turtles to the Sea Turtle Emergency line at (954) 328-0580. Do not report normal crawling or nesting (digging or laying eggs) activity unless the animal is in a dangerous situation (on a road, in a parking lot, or has wandered well off the beach).

PAPA ROACH's new album, "The Connection", sold 22,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 17 on The Billboard 200 chart. The CD arrived in stores on October 2 via Eleven Seven Music.PAPA ROACH's previous album, 2010's "Time For Annihilation... On The Road And On The Record", opened with 16,000 units to debut at position No. 23 on The Billboard 200 chart. The band's 2006 CD, "The Paramour Sessions", premiered with nearly 37,000 copies — a drop from the 52,000 first-week performance of 2004's "Getting Away With Murder" — to land at No. 16. "Time For Annihilation... On The Road And On The Record" featured a mix of live tracks and new studio cuts. "The Connection" was recorded at the band's hometown studio, The Red House in Sacramento, California, and was produced by rock veteran James Michael (SIXX: A.M., HALESTORM) and John Feldmann (PANIC AT THE DISCO, THE USED, ESCAPE THE FATE). PAPA ROACH's video for the song "Still Swingin'" was filmed in New York City with David Brodsky of Brooklyn's MyGoodEye Music Visuals (HELLYEAH, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, GOATWHORE, MUNICIPAL WASTE, SUFFOCATION). Of the tune itself, singer Jacoby Shaddix told Loudwire in an interview, "It is the most important statement for the band. I think it just says a lot about [PAPA ROACH]. It's about my personal life, my highs and lows and what I've gone through and I'm a fuckin survivor dude. I'm a fighter. I think it's taking a challenge and I'm always willing to step up to it and I'm not going to go out without a fight. And [PAPA ROACH], we're the band that no matter what we're fucking up against, we're gonna prevail." "The Connection" track listing: 01. Engage

13. As Far As I Remember PAPA ROACH in August officially dropped off the Rockstar Energy Uproar Festival after just one week, with Shaddix needing surgery to remove a nodule on his vocal cord. Shaddix was diagnosed earlier this summer and attempted to take care of it without an operation, but issued a statement saying, "I was hoping to be able to go out there and kill it on this tour by resting and doing vocal exercises, but my voice has just gone out on me. I hate to let our fans down, but unfortunately surgery is the only way to fix it. The last thing we want to do is give our fans less than 100% every night. We know they'll understand and we'll be back better than ever."
The throat problems follow a tough period during which Shaddix split and reconciled with his wife of 15 years and also fell off the wagon. "Still Swingin'" video:
