ON THIS PAGE: You will find out more about the factors that increase the chance of developing this type of cancer. To see other pages, use the menu on the side of your screen.
A risk factor is anything that increases a person's chance of developing cancer. Although risk factors can influence cancer, most do not directly cause cancer. Some people with several risk factors never develop cancer, while others with no known risk factors do. However, knowing your risk factors and communicating them to your doctor can help you make more informed lifestyle and health care choices.
The following factors can raise a man's risk of breast cancer:
Family history of breast disease or presence of a genetic mutation. About 20% of breast cancers in men occur in those who have a family history of the disease. Men with breast cancer gene 2 (BRCA2) gene mutations may be at increased risk for breast cancer or other types of cancer. Learn more about the genetics of breast cancer.
Age. The average age for men to be diagnosed with breast cancer is 65.
Elevated estrogen levels. The presence of certain diseases, conditions, or treatments can increase estrogen (female hormones) levels.
- Klinefelter's syndrome, a genetic condition in which men are born with an extra X chromosome, may increase the risk of male breast cancer because men with Klinefelter's syndrome have higher levels of estrogens and lower levels of androgens (male hormones).
- Liver disease, such as cirrhosis, can disrupt hormone levels and cause low levels of androgens and higher levels of estrogens.
- Low doses of estrogen-related drugs that are given for the treatment of prostate cancer may slightly increase the risk of breast cancer.
Radiation. High doses of radiation may increase the risk of breast cancer. An increased risk of breast cancer has been observed in long-term survivors of atomic bombs, people with lymphoma treated with radiation therapy to the chest, people undergoing large numbers of x-rays (such as for tuberculosis or to treat residual thymic disease or acne), non-cancerous conditions of the spine, and children treated with radiation therapy for ringworm.
Lifestyle factors. As with other types of cancer, studies continue to show that various lifestyle factors may contribute to the development of breast cancer.
- Being obese or even overweight increases the risk of breast cancer.
- Increased physical activity is associated with decreased breast cancer risk. This may be because exercise lowers hormone levels, boosts the immune system, and changes metabolism. Lack of exercise also contributes to obesity.
- Drinking more than one alcoholic drink per day may raise the risk of breast cancer.
Currently, there is no proven method for preventing male breast cancer. A person's best chance of surviving breast cancer is early detection through regular self-examinations, clinical breast examinations (breast exam performed by a doctor or other health care professional), and mammography (an x-ray of the breast). Men should be familiar with the feel of their breast tissue normally, so they can bring any lump or change to their doctor's attention. During an annual physical examination, the health care professional will perform a clinical examination of the breast. Mammograms are not routinely offered to men and may be difficult to perform because of the small amount of breast tissue. A doctor may recommend regular mammography for men with a strong family history of breast cancer or the presence of a genetic mutation that increases their risk of developing the disease.

Vivaldi L'Olimpiade UK premiere
(concert performance)
Vivaldi's operas are becoming ever more popular, so could we consider going through a festival of Baroque music in London in 2012 without presenting Vivaldi's dazzling setting of one of the most frequently used opera librettos of the 18th century, a love tangle set against the background of the ancient Olympic games? Clearly not, and who better to entrust with its UK premiere than Adrian Chandler's award-winning ensemble, soaked as they are in the vivid and vibrant music of the Red Priest?

Men's Tennis to Open A-Sun Play at Stetson on Saturday
FORT MYERS, Fla. – Traveling to DeLand, Fla. for its Atlantic Sun Conference opener, the FGCU men's tennis team is set to compete against Stetson on Saturday morning beginning at 10 a.m. The Eagles will stay on the road for a make-up match with UCF in Orlando, Fla. on Sunday, also at 10 a.m.
FGCU comes into the Stetson match holding a 0-3 record, while the Hatters are 8-2 and are coming off a 4-3 loss against UCF on Thursday (Feb. 24).
The Eagles' match with UCF was originally scheduled for Sunday, Feb. 6, but rain in the Orlando area forced the schools to postpone the match. The Knights own a 4-4 record heading into their Saturday meeting with FAU.
Competing for the Eagles will be seniors Steve Binninger (St. Augustine, Fla./Saint Joseph Academy), Carlo Checchia (Sao Paulo, Brazil/Ceteb/Coastal Carolina University) and Mitchell Lvovsky (Dania Beach, Fla./Keystone HS/Wingate University), junior Matthew Rock (Fort Lauderdale, Fla./Jacksonville University), sophomores Collin Brown (Tallahassee, Fla./Florida State University School) and Gabriel Echeverry (Popayan, Columbia/Gimnasio Calibio), as well as, freshman Dean Tsamas (Lexington, Ky./Henry Clay HS).
The Eagles have gotten off to a tough start this spring, coming up short in three dual matches to open the year. FGCU fell to USF, 7-0, in the season opener (Jan. 29) and then to FAMU (Jan. 30), 6-1, the following day, both in Orlando, Fla. In the most recent outing, the Blue and Green played well against visiting FAU, but a couple of three-set losses resulted in FGCU coming out on the wrong side of a 6-1 outcome.
Stetson opened the spring on a seven-match winning streak, but has dropped two of its last three contests. The Eagles are 0-3 all-time against the Hatters.
Results and recaps from both competitions will be available at www.FGCUAthletics.com following each day's play.

GLENSHAW, Pa. (AP) - A western Pennsylvania woman and her boyfriend must take parenting classes after they let the woman's 10-year-old daughter ride in a dog cage - in the back of the man's pickup on the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
The defense attorney for 29-year-old Abby Carlson and 33-year-old Thomas Fissinger, both of Millvale, says the couple didn't mean to commit a crime on May 27. They simply let the girl ride in the cage, which was tied down, because she wanted to be with the dog inside it.
Shaler District Judge Robert Dzvonick agreed Thursday, though he questioned the defendants' judgment before giving them six weeks to take the classes, after which the charges could be dismissed.
The judge says, "God forbid your daughter asks for a Corvette and you go out and rob a bank."

I hope I'm not breaking any news here, but there is more to the Vikings than what is currently happening at quarterback.
With that out of the way, this is a good time to address a forgotten problem from the Vikings' blowout defeat to the Bears: the defense.
This is a unit that had been playing well throughout the season and was the subject of last week's rant. However, it had a complete breakdown on the Sunday-night stage.
Credit has to be given to Mike Martz and the Bears' game plan, as the Vikings looked completely unprepared to deal with max-protection schemes and a passing game looking to get more yards down the field.
On the defensive line, Kevin Williams was neutralized on the interior while stalwarts Jared Allen and Brian Robison dealt with constant chips and double-teams. When they did get one-on-one matchups, they were unable to win them. Bears OLT J'Marcus Webb, who had struggled throughout the season, handled Allen well.
In the secondary, there were numerous problems. Receivers ran with too much space down the field, and they were able to exploit the middle of the field for numerous big plays. Cedric Griffin was the weakest link on Sunday, as the Bears targeted him when he was in man coverage and created positive plays out of it. He, along with S Husain Abdullah, were beat on the 48-yard touchdown pass to Devin Hester. Tackling by the entire defense was also an issue.
I said last week that I felt the defense was solid enough to keep the team in games if the offense played respectably. After Sunday night's performance, that isn't the case. The Bears created a blueprint for attacking the Vikings' defense: If you can take away the pass rush using max protection, you can attack the secondary down the field. The defense now needs to go back to the drawing board and figure out a way to counter this and fast. Aaron Rodgers is coming to town.

A. As you suspect, properly
fastened gypboard does have the capacity to resist
racking and/or lateral forces. The 1997 Uniform
Building Code (Table 25-1) gives shear values for
both gypsum wallboard and gypsum sheathing. In
fact, the allowable lateral force on a wall with
fully blocked 5/8-inch gypboard on both sides
nailed at 4-inch centers (350 plf) actually exceeds
that of a wall with 1/2-inch Structural I plywood
fastened with 10-penny nails at 6-inch centers (340
plf). Be careful, though: If you are working in
seismic Zones 3 or 4, note that even with fully
blocked edges you must reduce the allowable lateral
load on gypboard by 50%.
As to crediting the design for the strength of
the gypboard, this decision is based on the
materials selected for the particular structure. If
you build a house with rigid-foam insulation panels
on the exterior (under finishes) and gypboard on
the interior, then the gypboard is the
lateral force-resisting material. However, if the
interior gypboard is combined with plywood
sheathing on the exterior (or with diagonally
braced structural steel studs), then the strength
of the gypboard is discounted. In the latter case,
the plywood is considered the primary
lateral-force-resisting material because of its
greater strength and stiffness. In both instances,
the designer must make certain that the primary
lateral-force-resisting material is sufficiently
fastened to the framing to resist the
total lateral load despite the presence of
other secondary materials.
In reality, it is the combination of all the
primary and secondary materials that will resist
the applied lateral loads. However, should the
loading persist, the repetitive cycles of
load/release will cause fatigue of the weaker
materials (like gypboard) until essentially only
the primary lateral material remains functional. If
we were to credit the strength of the gypboard
towards the total lateral load (and reduce the
plywood nailing accordingly), our structure would
lack critical capacity after the time when the
gypboard had yielded. This is the reason gypboard
receives no credit for its strength.

This last week has been interesting. Along with a Polar Project diorama to put finishing touches on (read: send child to bed and make diorama look more presentable because other parents are carving penguins out of blocks of ice), and preparations for a trip to New York to contend with, I woke up a few days ago and my back was, well, seriously fucked up.
If you have a touchy back, you know what that means. It's the whatthehelljusthappenedholyJesus feeling of rolling out of bed in the morning and finding yourself hunched over like an old bewhiskered blue haired octogenarian.
I did my usual Oh, hell NO back stretches and realized that this was no small kink. Essentially my butt cheek had clenched up like a hermit crab in its shell (or a very cold testicle) and was not giving up its spastic hold. Every movement sent blazing pain down my leg.
So I spent the better part of this week flat on my back trying to coax my butt cheek to chill the hell out, popping Prednisone and trying to keep the 2-year-old out of the fish tank.
To date Theo has thrown in two pencils, a pen, a Lightning McQueen Matchbox car, the fish net and a closed container of fish food. Surprisingly (and sadly, because I am so done with the fish tank) all of the fish have survived the maelstrom of attention.
Knowing that my range of motion is severely limited, the 2 year-old decided that this would be a good week to act like a terrorist. This includes but is not limited to spending a lot of time on top of the kitchen table throwing things while yelling at the top of his lungs, "This is AWESOME!"
So, I have mastered how to pick stuff up with my feet and thought I would share my technique with you via a video. Please excuse my gnarly toes. And unshaven legs. And strangely short baby toe.
Remember that you can always enlist the bad toddler to help retrieve your narcotics. Just make sure the medication is in childproof packaging.

HFH Romania Welcomes Eclipse Build Volunteers From Around the World
HFH Romania Welcomes Eclipse Build Volunteers From Around the World
Beuis, Romania - July 29, 1999 - More than 250 volunteers from Romania, across Europe and around the world will join Habitat for Humanity Romania as they build houses in partnership with 10 families in need.
The two-week event will coincide with the last solar eclipse of the millennium, best viewed from Romania. Construction will begin the week before the eclipse. Volunteers will have the opportunity to view the eclipse Aug. 11 at Romania's Ramnicu Valcea. They will be accompanied by Ed Reichmann, a solar scientist with NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center and a Habitat volunteer.
The volunteers will help families in need as Romania welcomes people from around the world. Volunteers will work with future homeowners to build wood-frame houses. As part of the payment for their houses, each homeowner family has already worked about 300 hours with Habitat for Humanity. Habitat for Humanity will sell the homes to the families at no-profit, with no-interest mortgages.
"We can contribute to the peace of this region by building simple, decent homes with people who could not otherwise afford them," Millard Fuller, founder and president of Habitat for Humanity International said. "Habitat for Humanity's work brings people together, contributing to lasting peace and stable communities."
Through a partnership with the Good Samaritan organization, young-adult orphans who are no longer able to stay in state-run orphanages are employed on the construction site. The Eclipse Build construction crew will also include a team of volunteers from Northern Ireland, comprised of Catholics and Protestants working together. Other volunteers are coming from as far away as the United States and Singapore.
Habitat for Humanity International is a nonprofit worldwide, ecumenical Christian organization dedicated to eliminating poverty housing. Habitat for Humanity brings together people with resources and people in need to build simple, decent, affordable houses. The homes are sold to those in need at no profit, through no-interest loans. Founded in 1976 by Millard Fuller along with his wife Linda, Habitat for Humanity has built more than 75,000 houses, providing shelter for more than 375,000 people worldwide. It has affiliates in every state of the United States and in 63 other countries around the world.

North American Tea Championship Adds Packaged Single-service Tea Category
New Competition Rates Tea Bags, Instant Hot Teas and Other Packaged Single-service Teas
LAS VEGAS, Nev. (Nov. 15, 2012) – Consumers oftentimes think tea bags or other single-service teas are inferior to loose leaf teas. However, that's far from the truth, according to organizers of the North American Tea Championship (NATC), the only independent competition that's judged by professional cuppers, to distinguish the highest quality and best tasting teas that are commercially available in the North American marketplace.
To demonstrate the superiority off some "bagged" teas, the North American Tea Championship is adding a fresh tea class to its competition – Packaged Single-Service Tea, which is set to take place every November beginning in 2012.
The new category is in addition to other NATC evaluations that take place throughout the year – including Hot Tea assessments in July and February, and a judging of Iced Tea in May.
Kim Jage, sales and marketing director, World Tea Media, organizer of the North American Tea Championship, says she once harbored a common misconception that tea bags signal inferior tea. "Some consumers erroneously believe that if tea comes in a teabag, it is low quality," she explains. "However, tea can be low quality even if it's loose, and I have tasted superior teas that are offered in a bag. We believe that single-portion packaged tea is evolving and is no longer viewed as an impediment to a good cup of tea. Thus, this competition showcases packaged tea in its own right without having to unfairly compete against loose leaf tea in our other NATC events."
NATC's Packaged Single-Service Tea Class is designed to determine the best tea bags, packaged single-serve and instant hot teas available in North America. Teas in this category are evaluated by similar pack size. For example, teas sold in 50 to 100 count packs will be evaluated against similar packaged teas. And teas packaged in a box under a 25 count – which includes most specialty teas – will be evaluated against similar offerings.
"Above all, judges in this Packaged Single-Service Tea competition are looking for a quality cup – design is irrelevant. We want to award the highest quality and best tasting teas, not packaging or business practices," says Jage. For the annual Packaged Single-Service Tea competition, teas are brewed using one single-serve pack (teabag, sachet, portion pack, etc.) and steeped in an eight ounce serving cup. The water temperature and steep time for each category is according to a specific Brew Plan chart.
Every submission is evaluated blind and through organoleptic analysis of characteristics, including flavor, body, color, clarity and balance. An overall numerical value on a 100‐point scale is then calculated based on the ratings of each characteristic, and winning teas are determined by rank.
Categories include: Black Tea Single Origin; Black Tea Blends Unflavored; Black Tea Flavored; Pan-fired Green Tea; Steamed Green Tea; Jasmine Scented Green Tea; Green Tea Blended/Flavored; Oolong Tea; Oolong Tea Blended/Flavored; Puer Tea; Puer Tea Blended/Flavored; White Tea; White Tea Blended/Flavored; Herbal; and Herbal Blended/Flavored.
"There's a high demand for these types of packaged single-service teas, so it's important that we added this class to the North American Tea Championship," says Jage. "Also, the many stark differences between packaged teas and loose leaf teas makes it important to separate the types of teas for evaluation, as it grants the best of both types of tea the opportunity to be judged on their own inherent characteristics. So we're pleased to launch this new competition for the tea industry, and we look forward to bringing some of these great quality teas to the forefront."

2.93/5 rDev -23.1%
A hazy dark ruby hued beer, topped with a slightly off-white head that snapped down to a very thin lace, and eventually became completely still.
Some alcohol in the nose and rich malted characters, grain and light floral.
Carbonation is a bit lackluster, with a faint sharp-ish burn and crispness. Theres everything from sweet bread to nuts to ripe red grapes to some malted goodness of powdered chocolate, milky sweet coffee and burnt edges. Bitterness seems to mingle with the grape-ish flavors, becoming a bit floral tea-like in character, but its weak and watery at times. Overall, the bitterness is subdued. Finishes somewhat dry and bland, with notes of grain and mineral.
Started off interesting, but turned out to be a disappointment.

12oz brown bottle with no freshness date.
Color: Dark, nearly black chestnut. Impressive lacing on top.
Smell: Thick stodgy dark bread, faint herbal hop and caramel.
Taste & Mouthfeel: Smooth and creamy medium body. Bready, toasted bread, dried grass, some sweetness and mild suggestion of mocha. Modest hopping still stands tall enough to help balance. Clean palate throughout, 6.7% is barely noticeable.
Overall: Extremely drinkable, closed my eyes and I was in Munich on the first sip.

3.35/5 rDev -12.1%
12 oz bottle from the brewery.
Appearance: Dark ruby brown with a thin white-brown head that disappears on the quick.
Smell: a bit of coffee and burnt malt. Some chocolate.
Taste: similar to the smell but a bit on the light side for a bock.
Mouthfeel: Light, slightly under carbonated
Drinkability: quite good. Very easy to drink. In a way this is a downfall because for a bock this one is a bit too light and smooth.
This is a good bock for lite beer drinkers.
Cellaring Update: I cellared a couple of Uff-das for 6 months, 1 year, and 18 months. They cellared well and in fact I would say that I enjoyed them most after 18 months. The Uff-da had better developed dark fruit flavors and a richer body. I'm upping the score a touch.

12 oz bottle poured into a standard snifter. Bottle dating has this beer bottled in early April 2011.
It pours a very deep, rich brown and capped with a tiny off white head. Minimal lacing coats the sides.
The aroma is rich, filled with some deep breast distinct malt. Ithas the aroma of a fresh mash tun with using a good portion of dark malts. Towards the end some plum or dark stone fruit aromas are there.
The flavor us pleasent in it's simplicity. Dark but not roasted malt forward with a the same dark fruit flavors as the aroma. A fair amount of sweetness is in the finish.
Mouthfeel is on the fuller side but its not chewy or tough to drink a full glass. This has always been one of my favorite Bocks and I'm happy to see it back in rotation.

Picked this up in Madison when I had a "make your own 6" fest at Steve's Liquors. Great people.
A: Very dark brown almost black. Has some clarity, even though it is very dark. Golden mahogany coming through the darkness at the edges against the light. Delivered a nice creamy finger head. Head dissipated but a fine lacing started adhering to the glass immediately.
S: Deep hearty bock maltiness. Yeasty, grainy and slight spice. Hint of alcohol. Ah! Just the smell of a good bock will put hair on your chest.
T: There is strong toasty character - almost chocolatey but not bitter. It's nice and smooth. Definitely a caramel sweetness there. Slight hop but just enough to off- balance the malts. Toward the end, it did have a hint of cloying sweetness but that is an absolute nit pick.
M: Low carbonation. Very smooth and on the light side of medium bodied.
D: This one is easy to drink. I am not a huge lager drinker but this beer reminds me that I need to explore German lagers more than I have in the past. Very enjoyable. New Glarus tends to deliver, so not surprises there. A quality brew.

Purchased in New Glarus but not at the brewery, which was closed for the day. I used to be able to buy New Glarus products nearby, but they have reduced their distribution area. I will miss not being able to get any more for a while.
The appearance is a deep reddish brown and very clear. There is a small, creamy, tan head when poured vigorously. It makes for a very attractive beer. The smell is all malt. Very rich. A mixture of brown sugar and dark semi-sweet chocolate. Tastes like burnt caramel, whole grain bread, with a dark chocolate bitterness in the finish. Very little hops to balance the malt, but that isn't missing. A good, substantial mouthfeel. Very drinkable.

Pours a clear reddish brown with a small off white head that leaves some spotty lacing in its wake. A nice caramel nuttiness greets me from the start with hints of some dark fruit and cocoa. There's a sweet underlying graininess as well. Rather nice.
First sip brings a rich, fruity caramel maltiness. Hints of roasted nuts, cocoa and a smidge of coffee come through on the way down. A subtle sweet grain flavor rolls along with each sip. A tasty mix of flavors with a chewy malty core.
Mouthfeel is smooth and has a good body to it. Rich and velvety...it coats the mouth. Overall this is a nice bock that I wouldn't mind having again.

No dating. Chestnut, cloudy, no head really -just a teensy creamy khaki dusting and ring of small bubbles. Not much aroma at all, really cant get anything. Bit of malt maybe, just amazingly clean scented. Mouthfeel is strange, it feels very light, yet full at the same time. Very dry, you do not taste much, just malty. Reminds me of a brown. The whole thing is just so clean, it is not really there. Good drinkability, could down a bunch in a sitting since it is not heavy, but I would probably head towards a bit more intensity of flavor.

Courtesy of dirtylou...thanks.
Dark brown in color...very little can pass thru, but on the edges...takes on a mahogany shade with the assistance of artificial light.
Pleasant in the nose...sweetness comes thru with a long whiff, some chocolate and even some fruitiness.
The taste is quite good...alcohol is totally hidden and a nice roasty malt flavor shines thru. Chocolate, a hint of smoke, and raisins balance out this one.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied and the carbonation is sublime.
A sipper, but could easily enjoy a few of these on a winter evening...either way, I am real happy with this one.

Beer pours a very deep brown, almost black with a slowly dissipating head with good lacing. The aromas of this beer are of coffee, chocolate, and a hint of caramel. Upfront taste is of caramel, chocolate, and toffee, finishing with a coffee taste. Beer is medium bodied. One or two of these and this beer is very drinkable, but after that it becomes a bit cloying. Still a nice beer to enjoy, tastes better as it warms a bit.

Poured from a 12 oz. bottle into a tall New Glarus Signature Pilsner Glass.
Appearance: Pours a deep mahogany orange with a lot of rising bubbles. Huge four finger off white head that slowly settles into a thinner creamy layer. Leaves a decent amount of lacing around the glass.
Smell: A deep, toasty, and earthy malt forward aroma with good hints of toasty bread and chocolate. Upfront scent of toasted malts with hints of biscuit, toasted bread, caramel, toffee, chocolate, coffee, nuts, grains, and yeast. Sweet hints of brown sugar. Decent backing hints of earthy hops with some hints of grass. Also some subtle hints of dark fruit including cherry and dates. A pretty solid bock aroma.
Taste: Like it smells, a nicely toasty and earthy malt driven taste with good notes of toast, chocolate, and subtle fruit. Very bready upfront taste of toasted malts with notes of biscuit, toasted bread, chocolate, coffee, caramel, toffee, grains, nuts, cracker, and yeast. Some light sweet notes of brown sugar. Solid earthy backing presence of hops with some notes of grass. Undertones of dark fruit with some notes of dark cherry and dates. A really solid bock taste.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with a moderate amount of carbonation. Creamy and slightly slick and chewy. Finishes dry.
Overall: A very solid take on a Bock. Good dark toasty malt notes with a decent hop backing.

Pours an absolutely clear garnet with a smallish red hued head. No lacing or retention at all.
Smells nicely of ripened red cherry and plum.
The taste is very sweet. Lots of malty waves of fruit come up to greet you. Again, cherry and plum dominate with a hint of cafe in the background. Finishes with a bit of a whimper and then you get a little alcohol tingle.
Mouthfeel is slightly thin and maybe just a bit too bubbly, but not horrid by any means.
Despite my critcisms this is an easy drinking brew. I could have a few and be real happy. I'd really like to get my hands on some more beers by New Glarus.

3.43/5 rDev -10%
Looks like a free flowing bock, nice, dark, but not that English style dark, nor the ugly German bocks. Smells like a little sweet bit of mildly roasted chooclate, as if a stout.
Taste, sweet, strong, malty, even a dash of zest from maybe a little more hop presence than I was expecting. Mouthfeel hangs around, doesn't grow, or contract, somewhat drinkable for a bock.

3.5/5 rDev -8.1%
Clear dark reddish brown with a marginal 1/8 inch head that's off white in shade. Laces in rings. Aroma is lighlty malty, slighlty papery and not straying from caramel. Nice mouthfeel, full with moderate carbonation, the beer's best feature. The flavor is subdued though, light brown sugar and little else other than a slight peach brandy mid mouth. Hops are average but balance the malts well. This is easy drinking, doesn't seem 7% ABV and well crafted, but like many ordinary Bocks, the mouthfeel takes the day over flavor.

(Served in an American pint glass)
A- This beer has a black body with a slight mahogany hue to it at the base. There is a thin tan head that is smooth and creamy but fades a bit in the middle. There is a strong carbonation of tiny bubble gliding up the sides of the glass.
S- This beer has notes of dark raisins, prunes a smooth dark malt aroma and some softer caramel malt notes. There is a creamy nougat note that I actually don't mind in this beer but it is pretty soft.
T- The taste of dark caramel malt notes have a soft sweetness to them with notes of dark malt, and cola in there. There is a dark rum flavor that doesn't have the alcohol bite to it and a soft peanut brittle taste in the finish that comes through when it warms.
M- this beer has a medium-full mouthfeel with a creaminess in the texture and no alcohol heat to it.
D- This beer has a very nice complexity and although in my description it sounds very sweet it is really a very subtle sweetness. There is no pot caramel flavor that seems to dominate most bad bock and this one really caught me by surprise.

I have used this perfume. It is very light and doesn't smell that great. It is very feminine perfume though but doesn't last long ! It's very faint one.
The smell is quite good and very strong indeed, jst 2 sprays is more than enough...it is definitely long lasting but after some time the smell can be a little too much
In general its a satisfactory product...its worth it for the price.
This smells really very very sweet. It's got naturally sweet notes, not overly done by sugary stuff and cotton candy :P And I don't have to worry about overloading on this stuff because it'll wear off pretty quickly.
If u r looking for something very floral then I would choose L'occitane Peony Flower over this any day.

text: Does anyone have any good information on what fuel pumps will fit on the Red Diamond 450 engine? I have been looking around and can't seem to find a thing. The one that is on there now is a Carter MO973 but I can't find anything on it, and I can't really determine if the Carter M2213 will fit. I have a few emails out and I am thinking about calling the International Truck dealer to see if they can tell me. I brought the pump to NAPA today and they were stumped.

Qualifying began Monday and will end at 3 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 7.
Candidates wishing to qualify can contact Linda Ensor at 205-221-2026 or 205-302-2487, Bruce Bennett at 205-387-1217 or 205-275-4968, or Walker County Republican Party chairman Keith Davis at 205-275-9501.
"From what we can tell initially, we will have several races that will be crowded, the sheriff's race being one of those," Davis said Monday. "The coroner's race has drawn a lot of attention, too, and there could be four to five candidates in that race."
Davis said party officials are expecting at least six people to qualify to run for sheriff, and two to three to seek the coroner's post.
On Monday, Steve Miller and J.C. Poe qualified to run for Walker County Sheriff in the Republican primary.
Miller, who is president and CEO of Miller Roofing in Jasper, is a Curry High graduate and attended the Jefferson State Law Enforcement Academy in 1993.
"Back when I was going to the Police Academy, honestly the reason that I was going was to serve the people of the county, but it was also to prepare for the day that I would run," Miller said in an ad that ran in Sunday's Eagle. "I knew back then that I wanted to run, and I believe this is the right time for me to serve in this capacity. I believe that we are all here for a reason, and I want to give back. The county has been good to us."
Miller said if elected, he would serve without pay for the first year. "I will serve my first year as Walker County sheriff without any pay so that pay can be used toward purchasing much-needed equipment for the department personnel," he said.
Poe, who currently serves as Walker County coroner, graduated from Curry High School, attended Walker College and Bevill State Community College and graduated from the University of Alabama Police Academy in 1978. He spent seven years with Jasper Police Department before being hired as an investigator with the Walker County Sheriff 's Office in 1983.
After eight years as an investigator, he became the director of the Walker County Narcotic's Enforcement Team for four years in the early 1990s. In 1995, Poe was appointed as chief deputy for the sheriff's office. Poe retired from the sheriff's office as chief deputy in 2002 after 25 years of service.
In the race for Walker County Revenue Commissioner, incumbent Jerry Guthrie filed papers Monday to seek re-election.
Mark Pendley filed qualifying papers to run for Walker County Coroner, the office being vacated by Poe.
Other races that will be on the ballot include Walker County Schools Superintendent, chairman of the Walker County Board of Education and Walker County District Judge.
"It looks like we will have some races that won't draw any Republican opposition," Davis said, "and some even look like they may not have Democratic opposition."
At the state level, Richard Baughn and Bill Roberts have filed qualifying papers to seek re-election to the Alabama House of Representatives. Baughn represents District 14, while Roberts represents District 13.
Greg Reed has also qualified to seek re-election to the District 5 seat in the Alabama Senate.

Emily Heinz Bina '11
HuffPost Live Producer, New York City
The 2011 CSB graduate is situated in the swarm of New York City, working as a producer at HuffPost Live, an internet-based video streaming network run by The Huffington Post.
Colette S. Peters '93
Director, Oregon Department of Corrections
"As the first female director of the Department of Corrections, I do feel that it is an honor, but I do know the responsibilities that come with that," Peters said. "I think even though every leader has the responsibility to - as I said - hire the best and the brightest and most diverse work force, I think that bar is raised for me."
Lt. Col. Mark Vande Hei '89
NASA astronaut
"I'm pretty confident that I'm going to get the chance to fly to the space station, largely because there's been so much effort already put into getting me ready to do that," Vande Hei said. "That's why I was hired. It's not a good investment if they hire folks like me and don't get us up on the space station. So, I fully expect to do that."
Michael Hayden '87 and Carla Noack '89
Acclaimed actors
"I would just encourage students to take advantage of everything that is here, to see all the dance companies and shows and operas that come through here, but also to really take their time here by the horns and get involved," Noack said. "It's pretty easy as a theater major to spend all of your time here in the BAC, and I think that's a wonderful part of an education in theater. But I think what I've learned over the years is just what CSB/SJU taught me about getting involved in life."
Glen Werner Roseboom '93
Director, Colorado Springs Olympic Training Center
"I think the variety and daily challenges are the exact reason I have stayed with the United States Olympic Committee at the Training Center for 15 years," Roseboom said. "It's an incredibly exciting place to be each day and it brings me so much joy. To be around sports and the intensity it brings is the greatest way I can imagine to earn a paycheck."

By SUZANNE MOORE, News Editor
---- — ALTONA — An Altona man is charged with first-degree rape involving a girl younger than age 13.
John W. Peryea, 44, was arrested Friday, also charged with predatory sexual assault against a child and first-degree criminal sex act, both felonies, and endangering the welfare of a child, a misdemeanor.
Peryea was a friend of his victim's family, according to a State Police press release.
Chazy-based State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation, Clinton County Child Protective Services and the Clinton County District Attorney's Office investigated the case.
Peryea was arraigned before Town Justice Eli Lambert in Altona Court and sent to the Clinton County Jail without bail. He is scheduled to reappear on Aug. 6.
In December 2010, Peryea was charged with two counts of driving while intoxicated — State Police said then that he was driving recklessly, swerving across Rand Hill Road in Plattsburgh.
Because he had a previous DWI conviction, the charges were both felonies.

Test Center review: Open source data aces
Jitterbit 2.0 impresses with easy GUI for mastering migration projects, while Talend Open Studio 3.0 scales gracefully to meet enterprise integration demandsFollow @infoworld
There are other shortcomings. Although debugging is enhanced by live data views, actual interprocess debugging capabilities are absent. Projects involving multiple data sources with requirements such as data de-duplication and orphaned record management will still require preprocessing. Jitterbit's forte is normalizing or denormalizing translations rather than actually scrubbing data.
Also of note: I was disappointed to discover the Jitterbit Integration Server phoning home behind my back. While generating server usage reports via the admin shell, I witnessed the Jitterbit server send a blind copy of data to jitterbit.com -- despite my expressly opting out of the User Experience Program during the installation process. Jitterbit indicated that none of the data it siphons is personally identifiable. I've yet to evaluate the claim.
Jittering the bits
Jitterbit won InfoWorld's 2008 Bossie Award for Data Migration for good reason: Jitterbit is perhaps the most uncomplicated tool available to get your data from point A to point B. In my testing, Jitterbit made simple work of configuring source and target specifications with its form-based wizards. Although database table relationships must be defined manually, the tool did a fine job picking up Web service details via WSDL. In addition to databases and Web services, Jitterbit can also pull data from XML, FTP, HTTP, LDAP, and flat files.
Transformation mappings are configured via a drag-and-drop wiring process. A simple double-click on a node spawns a separate interface for building formulas to modify data en route. Here you can draw on decent string manipulation tools and regular expressions. Math and logic functions could use some filling out, but a variety of other functions -- for handling XML, date and time, and e-mail -- round out the options. You can even pull live data into the transform for on-the-fly validation.
I found job scheduling to be very flexible, and the granular ability to set runtime priorities was a plus. The onboard dependency checker is also smart, helping to provide impact analysis for easier change management across operations, including WSDL file updates.
Additional features, including a quick test of active connections and ongoing project validation, helped polish the experience. Collapsible panes and auto-formatting in the process designer help keep designs orderly. However, a thumbnail overview would make it easier to navigate larger projects. A few other minor nits -- including slow sync during object renaming and the lack of an onboard SQL builder -- were similarly easy to live with.
Administration of the Jitterbit server is done using the same client interface. User and group access controls are good. Access to projects and sub-objects can be configured to ensure that only the right users have write permission -- a nice touch.
However, queue and server management is limited. Instead of granular administrative control over engines and queues, I found manually refreshed logs and limited opportunity for intervention into stuck jobs. The ability to drill down into processes from the admin UI would be a good idea, as would the ability to reschedule stuck jobs or view live data streamed from multiple servers simultaneously.

Oxford United extend Bevans contract
12:33pm Tuesday 20th May 2014 in Sport By David Pritchard, Chief Sports Reporter covering Oxford United. Follow us on twitter: @oxfordmailoufc. Call me on 01865 425458
MATT Bevans will be staying at Oxford United for next season after the club activated a clause in his contract.
The 20-year-old's initial deal was set to expire this summer, but contained the possibility of a 12-month extension, which has been triggered by the U's.
Bevans was part of the inaugural intake for the development squad last summer, following his release by Watford.
The right back had to wait until December for his senior debut, in the 1-0 FA Cup first round replay win at Gateshead.
He went on to make 12 appearances for the U's, 11 of which were starts.
