Half-Blood Prince Book by JKR Wins Two Quill AwardsBooks
October 12, 2005, 06:32 AM
Previously we told you that J.K. Rowling and her latest book were nominated for the Quill Awards. The winners have been announced, and author J.K. Rowling has won the prize for "Book of the Year" and "Children's Chapter Book/Middle Grade" for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. From the AP:"You've made a sleep-deprived mother very happy," Rowling, mother of a baby girl, said in a videotaped acceptance speech." These awards will be broadcast on NBC on October 22nd. Congratulations Jo!
UPDATE: Scholastic has now issued a press release on this and has this additional quote from our favorite author:
"I am thrilled and honored beyond words to receive the first-ever Quill Book of the Year Award. I am still not used to the idea that so many people across the world are intimately familiar with the characters who, for so long, I alone knew. Awards like this, where readers themselves vote, are therefore especially meaningful to me."

Coming home to a living room filled with shredded foam rubber and polyester is not fun. Watching your furry friend suffer as they try and digest it isn't fun either. I wondered why nobody made a tough dog bed that wasn't made of polyester and foam rubber. After many hours of discussion with friends and neighbors I decided it was time to stop waiting for someone else to solve the problem and start creating a solution myself. RuffNight was born. What would a tough, all natural dog bed look like? What would you use for the shell? And what could you stuff it with? I decided to try and answer those questions.
Matt Rhodes If you can dream it, Matt can build it. For years, Matt has been the owner and principal of a boutique remodeling company focused on sustainable design and build. After coming home from a long day on the job-site to discover that then puppy Duke had destroyed his third bed he wondered to himself, "Why doesn't anyone make dog beds out of construction pant material?" Thanks to Matt, RuffNight now does. Bringing his proven project management skills, business acumen, and good 'ol fashioned creativity we're confident there's not a problem any man (or dog) can throw at Matt that he can't come up with a practical, and eco-friendly, solution to.
After many drawings, trips to the fabric store, and pin-pricks to fingers, a solid design began to emerge. We would create a washable, reversible bed made from organic cotton duck and stuff it with shredded denim. Both products are used everyday by hard working people around the world, so why not use them to make a rugged dog bed?
There are no products matching the selection.

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) - The Chicago White Sox have claimed right-handed pitcher Maikel Cleto on waivers from the Kansas City Royals.
The White Sox made the move Wednesday. They designated infielder Jake Elmore for assignment.
The 24-year-old Cleto pitched in one game for the St. Louis Cardinals last year. He was a combined 3-5 with a 5.52 ERA in Triple-A for St. Louis and Kansas City, pitching as both a starter and reliever.
Cleto made 13 relief appearances for the Cardinals in the last three seasons with a 10.34 ERA.
The 26-year-old Elmore was claimed off waivers from Houston in November. He hit .242 with two homers and six RBIs in 52 games for the Astros last season.

· Hybrid HDD or SSD in iMac?
Hey folks, I'm running a late 2010 i7 iMac (one of the last ones you can upgrade the HDD without jacking up the firmware. Love the screen, love the killer processor, but I'm considering swapping out a new harddrive (and more ram). 95% of my work is through LR4 with some Photoshop and Final Cut thrown in.
It seems like the best way to eek out a tad more performance would be going to SSD, but I'd like to keep my harddrive around 500 GB or more, so things are still a bit cost prohibitive there. Anyways, just wondering if anyone is running an aftermarket SSD or Hybrid drive (disk + small SSD in one) in an iMac and if it's made a noticeable difference in your workflow.
It's worth noting that for $500 plus selling my iMac and old Macbook Pro I could spring for a top-of-the-line MBP with retina display, and possibly have the best of everything. So that's also on the place.
Anyways, opinions/experience welcome.
Sidenote: I'm thoroughly entrenched in the Mac camp, so Windoze lovers need not apply...

SSDs are like upgrading from dialup to broadband. You may be able to have OWC (macsales) put an SSD in and keep the internal HD - Possibly at the expense of the superdrive depending on your imac screen size.

Hmm. If I go through OWC I'd likely only do the 240 GB version, which is enough to keep my LR catalog and previews on (as well as OS + apps), but not my working files. Still worth the cash?

· Hybrid HDD or SSD in iMac?
do you need the a full load of work files on the system drive? If not the smaller drives like 256 (what I have, crucial drive) are very workable. Just shuffle large files off device when a project is done...or done for the moment anyway. No need to have work you don't realistically touch weekly on the drive. this a workable caveat for the speed boost imo.
Hybrid as an alternative will get some speed but....only on files you work often. Hybrid drives basically jsut give a huge cash from which to stage often used data. So if working a say a wedding shoot from the day prior the buffer will see that and load it up cache to remember. Now when done that and go onto several other tasks you have to ahve the cache switch gears. the faster you hop around different tasks, the harder it is for cache to load up to remember key data. The cache games are your caveat for faster drive that is bigger.
I tried both drive. Preferred SSD. the hybrid is now an external for capsules and such. Once a string of work done (pics or video) source files unless something I see being used weekly get off the system. BUt I am hobbyist admittedly and don't have clients from months ago swinging buy for reprints out of the blue.

· Hybrid HDD or SSD in iMac?
Hmm... I do have my LR catalogs broken down a decent amount (ex: right now I'm working within my 2012 Weddings catalog), and all my older files are on an external, but I think even that current working catalog will be too big to store on a 240 GB SSD. I like to keep all the photos from one catalog in one place, as I sync them to a portable so that I can work on them on the road.
That said, I think I could tweak my workflow to include a "currently editing" folder that could easily be stored and then shuttled off the smaller SSD.
Good thoughts all around.

OWC does do a larger drive about 460GB but it has nearly an $800 price tag. It is a superfast drive but I am not sure if your iMac can take advantage of it. The new MacBook Pro is pretty fast but you need to configure when you buy as it cannot be upgraded. The screen is absolutely stunning. I use Aperture myself and went to the store to check it out. I used the same image and checked out the loupe on non and then Retina display. On the retina display, with the loupe on the eye, it was pin sharp where on the non Retina is was ok but it did not appear that crisp. It was very noticable.
With the new MacBook Pro, not only do you have the screen but you have thunderbolt. So the standard one upgrading the Ram to 16GB and about $200 for an external thunderbolt drive should have you humming. It is worth a trip to the store to check it out.

Mike -
OWC SSDs are generally 50x faster in small file random read/write operations and "operations per second" - so the use case of a Lightroom or Aperture Library on an SSD is perfect. In addition - aperture combines all thumbnails per project into a single file and this file gets fragmented like crazy which can kill loading performance of projects and albums... SSDs suffer zero problems due to file fragmentation.
SSDs generally offer only a mild improvement for already compressed data files (JPGs, raws, videos, etc) - so I prefer a dual drive setup on my laptop - Library and apps on SSD, Master files on HDD.
Totally worth it. Especially for thumbnail and preview generation.

· Hybrid HDD or SSD in iMac?
Hybrid drives offer little benefit unless something is used much more than other files, and it is doubtful that you'll get any benefit for Lr.
An SSD offers the scope for much greater benefit but the cost per GB is high and the limit on GB is relatively low. An SSD in a two-drive setup is good but a small SSD together with external second drive might be worse than a single internal HDD.
If your iMac has thunderbolt then you have access to accessories that will after speedy external data access, either via relatively expensive thunderbolt drive systems or by a thunderbolt to eSATA adapter (such as from Lacie) that gives you eSATA access. You could go for a thunderbolt to USB 3.0 adapter instead but you'll probably lose the ability to use a second screen because those adapters that I have seen so far do not offer a second thunderbolt port.
The benefit you get from an SSD varies according to how you use Lr. In the develop module Lr is always reading and writing the image files as well as the caches but in the Library module it mostly uses the catalog and caches instead so long as you don't try to zoom in more than the preview image allows. If you are working on a small portion of a large catalog then you can have Lr move those files to the SSD until you have finished editing them and then move them back to the SSD. That way nearly everything you do during an edit session will make use of the very speedy SSD.
If you spend most of your time working on just a few images then you'll get less benefit from an SSD. The more different images you work on in a given period the more benefit you will perceive from having them on an SSD.

I've not got a mac, but it terms of Hybrid vs "standard" I upgraded to one when I replaced my old HDD with a larger one.
Must say, I've noticed a difference in start up time (even a months on, so in theory over the "new installation" honeymoon period). General use seems fine, but not hugely different if I'm honest.
As far as I undestand it, youll see the most benefit in an SDD if your transfering or working on lots of small files (smaller than images...say 10kb). As its much faster at accessing, opening, writing, closing etc.
+1 for Hybrid though and at literally £10 more than the equivalent Standard HDD, it was a no brainer for me.

I don't know how things work in the Maciverse, but on a Windoze box it's not terribly difficult to transfer the installed OS, applications, and swap space to a SSD. The resulting speedup is nothing short of 'breathtaking.'
It looks like 128GB is the current sweet spot for SSD drives. For < $100 you could do worse than to give one a try. You can always add another if you find you're doing too much shuffling between drives. (I assume Macs have plenty of SATA ports.)

Go through OWC and have them install an SSD in your main HDD bay and then add another drive ( for working files or another SSD for catalog ) in your CD bay ( just get an external usb drive, or mac airdrive, after all, how much do you use your CD bay? ) You can even go so far as to add an ESATA port and hook up to an external bay with some fast results, especially if you use the OWC brand Mercury Elite Raid array as a working drive with up to 16TB storage
OWC FTW, they are fantastic.

danger he might encounter. Or is he?

Warrior Within was a controversial release. It's not surprising - the ar direction was completely different from the beautiful magical Sands of Time, the narration went from a fairy tale to a teenage Godsmack fan wet fantasy. Hell, the sand enemies BLEED. As in red blood.
These things are incredibly stupid, i'm not even going to try to justify them, apart from saying, that theread more art design is actually quite good, even if quite "grungy". But what is absolutely amazing about Warrior Within, is gameplay. The game is very open-ended, playing closer to Metroidvania title, than to the linear experience of SoT. The combat, the worst part of SoT (even though it had some good ideas and looked good), is absolutely fantastic. In fact, i still consider it the best of its kind, God of War, eat your heart out. And the acrobatics and avoiding the traps is still as good as in SoT.
So, what we have is probably the best Prince of Persia game (sorry, the classic one), which unfortunately has some issues in terms of art direction and the story. And some technical issues, which i expect to find in the GOG release as well, since the game was never patched. So you may experience no sound in several cutscenes and few annoying bugs. There are very few, but it's still a shame, that Ubisoft never bothered to fix them.
P.S. There's also a nice bonus for PoP fans in the form of tons of videos in this game. Videos about history of PoP and about making of Warrior Within. Very interesting stuff.

Warrior Within is an improvement of almost every aspect of Prince of Persia: Sands of Time as well as being the continuation of its story--a story that will continue in the third game, The Two Thrones--and as such should not be missed out on.
No longer the youth he was in the first game, an older, more harried Prince is forced on the run by a powerful and quite single-minded mythicalread more creature--which, unfortunately for the Prince, turns out to be all too real. In the course of evading his pursuer and finding a way to stop it, the Prince will visit a variety of interesting locales in two different though interwoven timelines.
Everything that was fun to do in the first game is here improved. The platforming is fast and fun and fluid, there are more things you can climb and wall-run and slide down on, there's a wider variety of enemies, and the combat is a VAST improvement on the first game with dozens of new moves.
The game was criticised on release for its aesthetic and its darker tone. It's true it doesn't retain the magical feel Sands of Time had. It's also true the setting is at times both figuratively and literally dark--at times the level design does grate. For all that, however, the game world is interesting, expansive, and worth exploring. And the sections where you are chased by the Dahaka and have to run for your life are, for me, the best part of any Prince of Persia game, ever.
A final word of advice: be sure to get all life upgrades, in order to get the Water Sword. Don't be afraid to consult a walkthrough to learn where they all are--even though the game lets you backtrack, when I played it there was a bug that prevented me from getting one of the upgrades, thus preventing me from reaching the [SPOILER REDACTED].
You'll have fun with this game.

After the great plotting and theme of Sands of Time, we get an entry that improves upon the gameplay, and then destroys a lot of goodwill by adding some nonsensical changes - heavy-metal music to battle scenes, an angry Prince who decided to die his hair black, and some over-the-top sexualized misogyny in the form of Shahdee and the Empress of Time.
I'm not OK with the Prince yellingread more "You bitch!" at nearly-naked Shahdee, and the weird moaning and "pleasure from pain" lines during battle suggest that the designers - now minus Jordan Mechner - are not much above the level of 12-year-old boys.
Still, if you can get past that, the platforming and fighting aspects are top-notch.

When Georgia came up short against Alabama in the SEC title game earlier in December, it cost the Bulldogs more than a national title shot.
The difference in revenue for the Bulldogs between the BCS National Championship Game and the Capital One Bowl likely is about $600,000.
As bowl season begins Saturday (December 15), it's another reminder that the postseason -- especially the elite BCS bowls -- is very lucrative for college teams.
According to available information and estimates, SEC champion Alabama will make about $1.925 million for playing Notre Dame in the national championship game on January 7.
Georgia, by virtue of its loss to the Tide, will play in the Capital One Bowl on January 1 -- a non-BCS bowl that has a far lower payout than the elite games. One estimate is that the Capital One Bowl has a total purse of $4.5 million. The Bulldogs would retain about $1.325 million of that amount.
The BCS title game has an estimated payout of $18 million; the other BCS bowls -- Rose, Orange, Sugar and Fiesta -- pay an estimated $17 million.
Florida was invited to a BCS bowl, as it finished higher than the Bulldogs in the final BCS standings. So the Gators will get a payout of about $1.825 million. No conference can have more than two teams in the BCS bowls.
However, all SEC teams will benefit somewhat from the bowl bonanza. According to the SEC's revenue-sharing formula, bowl revenue not paid to the participating teams is divided into 15 shares -- with each of the 14 teams getting a share, and the conference itself getting a share.
Yes, that means bowl teams get two payouts. This year, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, LSU, South Carolina, Vanderbilt, Texas A&M, Mississippi State and Ole Miss are in bowl games.
(Material from the SEC office in Birmingham, Ala., was used in this report. The SEC office would not confirm bowl payouts, just the conference's revenue-sharing formula.)
-- How do you think Alabama, Georgia and the other SEC teams will fare in bowls? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

murky orange brown with a large three finger high head of thick gooey and sticky lace that really clung around for a good long while before finlly settling down
The aroma was very bourbonesque with a weird almost off color woodiness to it that was difficult to place. As it warmed some other almost fuity like aromas started to come out with hints of figs, and plums really dominating the profile as it came up to room temperature. Lots of dark fruity flavors were the favorites here and really served to push the envelope a little bit in try to bring out some of the other flavors. There was a nice and very deep underlying earthy flavor that really seemed to ry to bring balance to the whole thing, however this was comletely thrown out one the alcohol flavors decided to get involved and really flex their muscles, and flex they did completly overpwoering the rest of it until it warmed enough to allow the subtle hints of fruity yeast to trounce back to the surface.

12 oz bottle poured into Chimay goblet.
Pours a very flat hazy cloudy baby poop brown color. Decent amount of floating matter in the glass, and the tiny bubbles around the edge of the glass don't add much appeal.
The smell is very interesting after 6 or so years in the bottle. At first it smells like a cognac with nutty notes and cherry booziness. Then I get whiffs of pure apple cider. There is also a definite cardboard mustiness, but nothing really overtakes the surprising fruity booziness. Lots of apple, cherry, banana, and alcohol ester.
Taste is downright abrasive and not in a good way. Rotten banana, booze, rancid cider, and wet cardboard. Age has not been kind to this one. This is the last bottle from the cellar and that is probably a good thing. I remember this one being boozy when fresh, but I am shocked at how boozy it still is. Booze and off flavors is all that is left here.
The mouth is flat and oily...definitely well past its prime. If Founders decides to make a quad again, I will most certainly try it, but this beer is happily retired.

3.48/5 rDev -3.6%
Got via trade(thanks FlandersNed)...pours a deep cloudy/hazy brown. Unfortunately little to no head...just a thin ring on the surface.
Aroma is strong! Heavy dark, over-ripe fruits...definitely raisins. Complex and boozy scent. Heavy roasted malts and a tad oaky.
Flavor is a little weird...if I may say so. At first, not much at all...just Belgian yeast, roasted malts, and small notes of dark candy...but then a very strong raisin flavor rushes over and over the tongue and down the throat, along with the booze burn. The raisin flavor is a little overwhelming and almost ruins the flavor. It adds a little TOO much complexity.
It's no doubt a sweet flavor and full bodied...not easy to drink. Not the best example of a Belgian Quad, and not my favorite Founders brew by far...but worth trying.

3.33/5 rDev -7.8%
Appearance: Pours an apricot nectar color with burnt orange highlights; the modest amount of foam quickly declines to a ringlet
Smell: Fig, bubblegum and a dollop of toffee
Taste: Figgy, up front, but a souring medicinal element kicks in rather quickly; by mid-palate, however, a caramel sweet tone starts to subsume the other flavors, while adding a fusel alcohol character to the fray; after the swallow, the alcohol and fruit flavors buttress the finish
Mouthfeel: Medium to full body with low carbonation
Drinkability: Age has not been particularly kind to this beer; though the complexity is intriguing, it is all over the map and the sum is not equal to the parts

Poured from 12oz. bottle into a Westvleteren chalice. Beer was a clear, copper color with a very small, light brown head. Light carbonation and lacing.
Aroma was very sweet. Notes of apple, brown sugar and toffee.
Taste was also very sweet. Dark fruit, candi sugar and a slightly spicy finish.

2.93/5 rDev -18.8%
Common examples include: procrastination, fidgeting, overspending, nail-biting - Wikipedia. Pours a very clear amber red color with a light brown hue through out. A little light for style but ok. A soft fizzy head that hid to the edge of the glass and not much for lacing.
The nose is sweet, even for a quad. A candy like sugar nose up front with some minor sweet caramel and malty undertones. Not really depth or complexity. Very limited yeast aromas, too clean in a way. Some minor plums and figs notes but subtle. Some minor medicinal and light metallic/coiny notes but light.
The taste is bit more on style but still lacks that distinct Quad taste. The malt is sweet with sugary note and a mild caramel malt taste. Limited overall, I would like to see more depth and body. The esters come out a bit more versus the nose. Some plums and raisins with a light sweet orange flavor. A bit too clean for yeast but only minor off notes. Light plastic/medicinal, no where near the nose. Some minor alcohol, very clean considering the ABV.
The body is moderate to moderate full. Really lacking the depth and complexity that I would like for a quad. Carbonation is light but ok. Some warming from the alcohol, but mostly clean. Overall, easy enough to drink but just needs to take a step further with the malt and yeast temps to add that complexity.

12oz bottle poured into a regular snifter, recieved as an extra. Not sure when this was brewed.
A- Bad Habit pours a dirty tan color out of the bottle while settling to a dark brown/ mahogany color once in the glass. Some debris can be seen also. Up to light a nice deep orange bronze color. Not much head and no lacing.
S- Smell consists of a bunch of dried fruit with apples and a off caramel malt sense. A bunch of alcohol as well. Toffee with syrup. A bit of a candi essense. Some raisin with warming and some plum.
T- Starting off I got a nice apple taste with caramel from the malt following and of course some alcohol, that can't be denied. The toffee came with warming along with even more sweetness with raisins which did not mesh well.
M- This quad was a bit lively once first opened but quickly lost it's feel and became quite flat. I prefer this in very small sips as anything more and your in for sweet alcohol. A step above medium bodied.
D- The flavors don't collide well leaving me scratching my head. I'm glad I tried it but won't miss it. Hopefully founders releases a revamped version later in time, as this bottle may be past it's prime(Not sure the year on this).

Pours a very opaque and muddy brownish red in color. No head forms at all on the pour. You can immediately pick up some fruity tones upon popping the cap. That's where the positives cease. This tastes like a fruity alco-pop. Very fruity and alcoholic. Like a cheap bottle of Mad Dog 20/20. Medium mouthfeel and a somewhat cloying aspect. I love my boys at Founders, but they severly missed with this one.

nlmartin hooked me up with this one via BC2. Thanks Nate!
Fairly clear and deep reddish orange with a thin skim of foam that formed a solid collar. Some sticky, spotty lace. Significant alcohol in the aroma, but it was fairly mellow with no fusels. Notes of fruity plum, floral hops, toasty and doughy malt filled things out. Very fruity flavour with some sweet malt, plums, strawberry, and a peppery alcohol finish. Some higher alcohols were present. Medium to full bodied with gentle carbonation, warmth and a bit of stickiness. Drinkability was pretty good. I thought the higher alcohols worked for this one, especially since they didn't seem overly hot or solvent-like.

4.13/5 rDev +14.4%
Pours into a tulip with a quickly settled tan head to coating atop a dark tawny hue offering little bubbles rising to the surface.
Deep plum and sugar syrup scent. Tons of sweetness roll off this surface. Pancake and syrup. Dark fruit scent of fig, cherry and red apple dominate the nose.
First swigs: Touch of root beer meets fig. Sassy quad. complexity derived from a liquorice anise flavor. Warm boozy coating as it goes down. Fruit cake flavors flow from this sipper like the cat's meow. Yeasty belgian strand is in there to give this an authentic style bonus. Perhaps a touch too much candi wasadded to almost push this into a Big Tripel direction.
Feel is full bodied quad with a thick tongue coating. Zippy and buttery. A touch of heat on the palate, no doubt from the 9.8% ABV as touted on the label. Something about the feel was a little beat up and rough.
Last swigs: Bonus points for complexity in the drinkability category. Bad habit hangs in there to really get the quad job done.

3.05/5 rDev -15.5%
"Bad habits are like a comfortable bed: easy to get into, but hard to get out of."
Harvest orange with butter rum colored trim. Unfortunately, the beige crown is small, soft, less than sticky, fizzy and isn't exactly coating the glass with lace. It's difficult to imagine a Belgian-style ale that looks less Belgian. The high ABV may be a foam killer, but I've seen plenty of high-ABV ales that were more attractive than this.
The aroma sketches the faint outlines of the style when bold brushstrokes are called for. Each sniff delivers cherries and berries macerated in Stolichnaya. If the beer is this boozy now, it must have been something else back in the fall of '06. Will it be more competently buried on the palate?
Founders is one of my favorite American craft breweries. I had to get that in because Bad Habit is not a good quadrupel. In fact, it's a car crash of a big ale that, nevertheless, isn't a *total* loss. Where the hell do I start?
A considerable cherry cough syrup sweetness is cut off at the knees by a rubbing alcohol quality that undermines the whole operation. The remainder of the flavor profile includes butter toffee, black cherry, red raspberry and pink bubblegum. Can BHBQ possibly be brewed with nothing other than malt, hops, yeast and water?
It feels stupid to grant an average taste score since Bad Habit is anything but average in the 'run of the mill' sense. With respect to quality, however, the above score is entirely appropriate. I think I'm starting to hallucinate. Are we sure this stuff isn't 14.8%?
The mouthfeel isn't as big or as sticky as anticipated. It starts out that way, then dissolves into lightly viscous and modestly mouthcoating. A few too many fine bubbles don't help the cause.
Founders is not in the habit of brewing less than delicious beer. However, they missed the mark widely with Bad Habit Belgian Quad. They should either go back to the drawing board or should forget this colorful mess entirely and concentrate on brewing the beers that we all know and love. Breakfast Stout, Kentucky Breakfast Stout, Imperial Stout, Red's Rye, Black Rye, Centennial IPA, Devil Dancer... and on and on and on.

2.7/5 rDev -25.2%
12oz picked up in trades (sorry I don't remember everyone who has sent me one of these, I promise I am keeping better trading notes now.) Poured into my red wine glass and am still listening to Sasha's Involver mix.
Hazy muddy orange pour... waaaay to big of a head. Lacing is good.. but nothing even remotely great.
Bazooka Joe bubblegum, banana and harsh Belgian yeast spicyness dominate the nose.... sugar syrup with lively fruits.. plums... plums... a little bit nutmeg. Alcohol is hot... If it was warm enough, I could set it on fire.
Flavor is candy sweet... Hefeweizen banana and cloves... too much, way too much fruitiness... I normally need a little sweetness to tie together the Quad flavor nuances, but this is nearly off the charts. Mouthfeel is heavy/thick and cloying... I've been sitting on my last bottle of Bad Habit for close to a year now (thinking that time would do it well) ... My notebook reviews show the same disdain... although, this review is not nearly as bad as when I first had it back in January. I wrote, "Bad Habit needs a recipe reformulation and this bottle needs a LOT longer bottle time". That being said, I would really like to score another 4-6 of these and not touch them for 3-4 years.

a: Medium copper in color, slightly hazey. Pour leaves a lovely , frothy white head that lasts and lasts.
s: Alcohol soaked figs or raisins and some brown sugar are the most noticeable, Some sour wheat and cherries appear as it warms.
t: Alcohol and cherries are the dominant flavors here. This is the most flavorful U.S. quad I've had but it's just too much. Some sweet sugary malts are here along with an alcohol burn at the end.
m: The carbonation comes pretty close the genuine Belgian article. It's certainly thick and silky enough for the style.
d: I don't know how old this bottle was but some age might have helped mellow this out. I won't be in a hurry to try this one again.

Former prime minister Ehud Olmert positioned himself for a political comeback, slamming Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu in a meeting with Jewish community leaders in New York Wednesday.
Olmert's associates have said that he will decide on his political future following the US election, and US President Barack Obama's reelection is encouraging to the former prime minister. He is expected to make an announcement soon after he returns to Israel after November 15.
"Netanyahu's behavior in recent months brings up the question if Netanyahu has a friend in the White House, and I'm not sure," Olmert said. "This could be very critical in certain areas."
Olmert also criticized Netanyahu for turning Israel into a partisan issue.
"The prime minister has a right to prefer one candidate over another, but it would be better, obviously if he kept it to himself. What took place this time was a breaking of all the rules, when our prime minister intervened in the US elections in the name of an American billionaire," Olmert added, in reference to Jewish-American casino magnate and Yisrael Hayom owner Sheldon Adelson, a major donor to Republican candidate Mitt Romney and Netanyahu.

Reddit user ThatNordicGuy is responsible for an amazing Photoshopping job that has massaged the faces of Abrams Star Trek cast over the faces of William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy and the original series legends. In most cases it works out pretty well:
"I was showing my wife an early cut of Star Trek Into Darkness," he said, "and there was this one scene where she was literally like, I just cant see whats going on. I dont understand what that is. I was like, Yeah, I went too nuts on this.
STID co-screenwriter Bob Orci is the latest to lash out at a critic who dared to question the integrity of Abrams sequel. In the comments section of an article posted to TrekMovie, Orci lashed out in defense of his effort. To his credit, the column is titled, Star Trek Is Broken: Here Are Ideas On How to Fix It. Pretentious. And Orci called the author on the carpet.
Now that weve gotten past some of the more Cumberbatch-y releases, theres plenty of other releases out this week that might very well suit your fancy. Its a great week for television releases, from network to subscription cable stations, and some more of this weeks releases are listed can be perused more fully after the jump.
See that hunk of metal in the circle there? Don't you dare call it a hunk of metal, or a stupid little short-circuit or any other kind of C-3PO insults. That's R2-D2, being sucked out of the U.S.S. Enterprise and into space in the middle of the Vengeance's attack in Star Trek Into Darkness. Yes, R2-D2 in Star Trek. It's a crazy world we live in
Yesterday we brought you a fuzzy rumor that Benedict Cumberbatch was in line for a role in Star Wars: Episode VII. Today we are obligated to bring you the denial from his representative. Talking to The Daily News the Star Trek Into Darkness and Sherlock star's rep said this
I love how they break down the many ways in which Captain Kirk is a horrible leader, from really failing to protect anything in the universe to replacing Simon Pegg with Anton Yelchin as chief engineer. Fictional characters or no, you always want to keep Pegg by your side. Or at least I do. Platonically.
The trade says that Paramount started looking beyond the Bad Robot regulars after the release of Star Trek Into Darkness and contemplated getting X-Men: First Class scribes Ashley Edward Miller and Zack Stentz or a younger pair of writers to pen the movie. Ultimately, they returned back to Kurtzman and Orci, who also worked Paramount on the first two films in the Transformers franchise as well as Mission: Impossible III.
Ashley Edward Miller and Zack Stentz are being eyed to pen the third installment of this rebooted sci-fi franchise. Together the pair might be best known for contributing to superhero scripts like Thor and X-Men: First Class. So, we can safely assume they have a solid base for scripting the kind of out of this world action sequences a Star Trek movie demands.
J.J. Abrams second Star Trek movie and the twelfth in the franchise did well at the box office, grossing nearly $450,000 and paving the way for a third movie. Those who cant wait for the new flick will at least be able to watch Star Trek into Darkness when it hits Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray, DVD, and On Demand on September 10.
Now Streaming: Netflix Instant Alternatives to Star Trek Into Darkness, The Hangover Part III, And Epic
Looking to Star Trek Into Darkness, The Hangover Part III, and Epic for inspiration, we've pulled together a selection of Marvel Universe movies, romances from literature, and crowd-pleasing comedies with underrated stars.
Want to know how they chose the film's villain? Want to know just how much they think about Trek fans and what they've been demanding of the sequel ever since the first one came out? (Spoiler: they care a lot). Want to hear about the decision-making that went into one of the film's biggest scenes?
Its too bad its impossible to get an exact count on how many people were drawn in by the films advertising campaign. I cant assume a large number of people went based on Abrams trademark secrecy, which didnt quite work for this film the way it did with Super 8.
Star Trek Into Darkness is a hit. Not a giant hit, and not the kind of thing that has studios calling all of their rivals and screaming "Suck it!" while guzzling champagne at 8 a.m. (at least , that's how we picture it), but a big enough hit all the same. Especially when you account for its huge improvement with global audiences, Star Trek Into Darkness has done well enough to keep the franchise alive which means, inevitably, it's time to start talking about sequels
There has been a lot of build up for the first of what are likely to be many more sequels in the Star Trek franchise reboot and it's arrival didn't disappoint at the box office, though it didn't quite manage to outperform its predecessor.

In 1957, Gibson cemented her status as a tennis legend by becoming the first black woman to win at Wimbledon – and she repeated the win in 1958. As her wins piled up, her celebrity grew, leading to engagements like this appearance on game show What's My Line?...
The multi-talented Gibson also appeared in the movie The Horse Soldiers and embarked on a recording career. Her one-and-only album, Althea Gibson Sings, didn't lead to a musical career, but it wasn't for lack of listenability – Gibson's singing voice was rich and pleasant.
Of course, what we knew her best for was her athleticism and her groundbreaking work in the tennis world.
Given the times in which she lived, Gibson's achievements were impressive. Before the Civil Rights Movement opened new doors to black Americans, before Title IX guaranteed girls the right to play school sports, before the United States considered black people to be full and equal citizens under the law… Gibson ascended to the top rank in her chosen sport. She was a pioneer and an inspiration.

Crozier set for next step in international rugby progression
12:44pm Friday 1st April 2011 in Rugby By Simon Spurgeon
Colchester Rugby Club's Tom Crozier is set to take the next step of his intrenational progression on Sunday when he pulls on the shirt of the England Under-18s Clubs and Schools.
It will be the highest level Crozier has played, having also represented his country at under-16s level and captained the London Divisional Under-18s side earlier this year.
The England youngsters are set to face Worcester Academy at Bromesgrove School near Coventry on Sunday, with Crozier playing as hooker.
The Colchester Sixth Form College student has also been selected for the England Under-18s Clubs and Schools side that will face Ireland Clubs and Schools in Dublin the following week.

Surveillance video of a young woman thrown onto the subway tracks in Center City Philadelphia is absolutely shocking to watch.
SEPTA cameras captured the violent attack, and as a result of those cameras, police quickly nabbed their suspect. He's behind bars on $2 million bail.
The assault happened Tuesday afternoon. Forty-eight hours later, police arrested their suspect.
Just a few years ago, it would not have happened so quickly, if at all. But that's the power of a camera.
Mike Gritsko, a SEPTA detective, agrees, "It was shocking, it was horrifying."
The 23-year-old victim had loaned a stranger a cigarette lighter. Moments later, she's dragged off the SEPTA subway platform at the Chinatown station and thrown onto the tracks.
"I been here 20 years, and I haven't seen anything this horrific, where a young woman is just sitting there and brutally attacked," Gritsko insisted.
By Thursday afternoon, police had taken 36-year-old William Clark into custody, after a SEPTA police sergeant spotted him a few blocks away.
Sgt. Nicole Lawson told FOX 29 what caught her attention: "His facial features, with the pictures you could clearly see his distinctive facial features."
Those are photos she received on her smartphone just 15 minutes after the attack.
The surveillance cameras inside the subway station, which captured the entire assault, also provided police with their best lead.
"Oh it's phenomenal! SEPTA Police Chief Thomas Nestel told FOX 29.
"It's phenomenal. Investigatively it's just no better tool," Nestel continued. "Because that's a witness that isn't going to be afraid to come to court, is never going to get sick, and is completely neutral."
SEPTA now has tens of thousands of cameras in its subway stations, on its subway cars, and in its buses and trolleys.
"They're adjustable so we can move around, we can zoom in," SEPTA Detective John Cicala showed FOX 29.
Detectives can watch in real time or can review a recorded event after they get a 911 call. That's what happened with the subway attack.
If this had happened just a decade ago, the man probably would still be walking the streets, looking for his next victim.
"The video technology has really taken it to where I didn't think we'd ever be," Gritsko added.
The victim was not seriously injured. With so many cameras, there's no way SEPTA can monitor each one real-time. But the video is still incredibly helpful after the fact.
By the end of this year, SEPTA's entire trolley fleet, all of its subway cars, and 90 percent of its buses will have cameras.

Pig assault lands man in jail

Wow, James your parents must be so proud. We were looking at the goats on the first Tuesday of the Fair when a drunk was trying to let a goat drink from his beer. The goat tried to grab the beer and down to the ground it went. We were in hysterics. That guy had just bought an $8 beer for himself, hadn't taken a sip and it ended up on the ground. And that goat didn't even call him the next day. hahahaha.
on Jul 9, 2012 at 9:56 am
Book him, Danno -- a man who'll do that to a helpless animal will also do that to a helpless relative, friend or child. You don't even have to care about the pig to understand that this young inebriate needs an important life lesson -- denominated in months or more.
Of course, food animals already live abjectly lousy lives, by and large -- assault should be added to misery!

Harrassing a helpless animal says alot about his character. I'm glad they took him to jail before he got in his car and killed someone while DUI.

Yes on Prop 36
by Geri Silva
Prop 36, the Three Strikes Reform Act of 2012, will be on the November 2012 ballot! California's Three-Strikes law, studies show, has significantly contributed to the increase in California's prison population with its long, 25-years-to-life sentences. Nearly two thirds of the second or third strikers have been incarcerated for nonviolent crimes.
According to the Justice Policy Institute, Three Strikes has had a disparate impact on Blacks. With only 7 percent of California's population, Blacks comprise 45 percent of the Third Strikers.
The iconic "pizza thief" who got 25 years for stealing a piece of pizza was a Black man, Jerry DeWayne Williams.
This ballot measure will amend the current Three Strikes law as follows:
- Eliminates life sentences for most minor, non-violent, non-serious crimes, such as petty theft and simple drug possession. Defendants who commit violent or serious crimes will continue to receive life sentences.
- Provides that repeat offenders who commit a new non-violent, non-serious crime receive double the ordinary sentence instead of a life term.
- Prisoners currently serving life sentences for non-serious, non-violent crimes can apply for a sentence reduction. A judge can reduce the life sentence to a term of years no less than double an ordinary sentence if the judge determines that the sentence reduction would not cause "an unreasonable risk to public safety."
- Exception: Any defendant who has ever been convicted of an extremely violent crime, such as rape, murder or child molestation, will receive a life sentence no matter how minor their third strike crime.
The ballot measure makes no changes to the rules for "second strike" sentences.
Cost savings:
- The state auditor estimates that the current Three Strikes law costs the state at least $200 million per year to incarcerate inmates convicted of non-serious, non-violent crimes.
- This ballot measure will save the state $150 to $200 million per year by eliminating the cost of incarcerating and paying health care costs for aging non-violent, low risk inmates.
Re-sentencing provision:
- Prisoners currently serving life sentences for non-serious, non-violent crimes that would not result in a life sentence under the new law can apply for a sentence reduction. A judge must reduce the prisoner's life sentence to a term of years no less than double an ordinary sentence unless the sentence reduction would cause "an unreasonable risk to public safety."
- The burden is on the prosecution to prove by a preponderance of evidence that the prisoner is an unreasonable risk to public safety. The prisoner must be re-sentenced to the shorter sentence if the prosecution cannot meet this burden.
- A prisoner will have a right to a court-appointed attorney at any re-sentencing hearing. All relevant evidence can be considered at the sentencing hearing, including but not limited to: prison disciplinary records (both positive and negative reports), health records, family support, sobriety and employment prospects.
An estimated 3,000 inmates will be eligible for a new sentence under this initiative. While this measure is more conservative than Prop 66, it reflects what the ballot authors wanted AND it's what we have. So, we shoot for an overwhelming victory with Prop 36 in order to carry the fight to abolish the law beyond November 2012!
That's where we, you and I, come in!
There's something for everyone to do:
For us at FACTS, it's all about outreach, voter registration and voter education. That means public forums, town halls, Three Strikes Sundays, speaking at colleges and universities, tabling at events, house parties, going in groups of three or four to parks and setting up tables – we're always registering new voters – taking sign-in sheets wherever we go and recruiting new folks to be involved in the campaign, getting lawn signs up, hitting up local businesses, churches and schools to put up signs in windows, on counters and bulletin boards, and holding barbecues, bake sales and voter registration and voter education events.
If you or your loved one would like to get busy with one of our chapters or representatives in cities throughout the state or if you want to play an individual role in your community, please call us at (213) 746-4844.
Geri Silva is a founding member of Families to Amend California Three Strikes – FACTS – and the Fair Chance Project. She is an active participant in California Families to Abolish Solitary Confinement.

Poor iconic pizza thief Jerry Dewayne Williams committed strong armed robbery and is now the victim because he only came away with some pepperoni? Nice↓
John Mulligan
Jerry DeWayne Williams isn't even serving life. It was reduced.
"With only 7 percent of California's population, Blacks comprise 45 percent of the Third Strikers."
That's on you, not society.↓
Then if it's on US then why in the HELL do you keep on coming on this site
Evidently you JOHN MULLIGAN feel guilty and responsible about the increase of Blk Prison pop. adding your pathetic 2 cents opinion↓
the 57%
Same reason I do, to see the bullshit you publish as news and laugh our asses off at how stupid you niggers are.↓
It is the same reason why your own dumb a$$ Cavedwell'n kind walks into schools, restaurants
and MOVIE Theatures and shoot up they're own b/c they have f'd up lives and their too stupid to end
their own life so they walk into a public place and kill other people↓
the 56%
It should be 3 strikes then a bullet to the head. If you have committed 3 felonies you probably are not going to change. Act like a human and you will be treated like a human, act like an animal and you will be put down like an animal.↓
John Mulligan
Because I don't like racism Selina, just how I don't like what 57% posted. He's racist, and so are you. Every single article on this website that deals with crime is racist. Every time an article dealing with crime is posted here, you ignore the crime in the black communities, in effect, you condone it. You don't care if blacks kill blacks, if blacks kill whites or if blacks kill asians. But oh no when a cop kills a black guy, a great injustice has been done. Why? Because the black guy had a gun? Because he was wanted for murder? Because he's doing life for committing multiple violent crimes? That's what gets you upset? It's ugly Selina, and if you want to post your ugliness online for the world to see, prepare to get called on it.↓
No, I'm not a Racist you said it's up to us to changes our condition
I agree it is up US ( Blacks) but it petty for anyone outside of the BLK-community to stick nose into
issue or even waste their energy with being concern w/other peoeples
According to this country's mainstream Cacasians have a High unemployment rate of 22%-30%??
nation wide and you all have highrate of home/forclosures not soley due to OBAMA but beginning with George Bush II
BUT is that ANY of my concern NO I'll deal with my own problems of my society NOT yours
Why Because I can't DO A DAMN for you :)↓
John Mulligan
That would be true Selina, if your problems didn't spill over into everyone else's business. As for G. Bush, I'm well aware he's a POS.↓
My problems "spilling over into everyone else's business" SO WHat and you bringing your "don't have a life self on this site is gonna solve MY problems
Do you live in the innercity? And don't just say your tax dollars pay for my problems, remember your so-called great Pres., FDR created the welfare syst., to help your poor a$$ ancesters you got caught in the dust bowl and the great depression
Because you don't even have control over your tax dollars first point, AND YOU CAN DO THE DAMN RESEARCH FOR YOUR SELF majority of your tax dollars goes pay for Wars ie the two current wars and to help those countries re-build new infastructor and schools your nation's army help destroy
Like for instance Iraq more tax payers money sent over their and other countries for "so-called" Aid in exchange for natural resources like petroleum↓
James Holmes, dylan klebold and eric harris, James Huberty-who shot up McDonalds in 1983
Patrick Edward Purdy who shot up a school in Stockton, CA and this is short list because there's many more
These Barbaric Bastard's acts of evil SPILLED OVER into the family's of their victims and none of these BASTARDS showed no remorse for their victims↓
John Mulligan
The difference is you don't see people crying for guys like James Holmes. The right reaction is good riddence. You don't seem to get that. Try to find an article somewhere on this website from the last two years that discusses inner city violence, there isn't one. Try to find an article here that puts the blame squarely where it belongs, the thugs pulling the trigger, there isn't one. What does Iraq have to do with this conversation? Are saying that because Iraq was wrong we should ignore the gang problem in ths country?↓
"Try to find an article here that puts the blame squarely where it belongs, the thugs pulling the trigger, there isn't one. What does Iraq have to do with this conversation? Are saying that because Iraq was wrong we should ignore the gang problem in ths country?"
Your problem is that you're mentally on a plantation as the overseer by coming on this sight using you use your whiteness as a authority to tell African people how conduct themselves but nobody is listening and that's what irritates you the most
The thuggs pulling the trigger is the US-Army in Iraq, Iran, Grenada, all over Latin America constantly in Africa, w/AfriCOM
THE REAL THUGGS ARE THE US-ARMY and the various military contractors BlackWater [ XE }↓

California's Three-Strikes law, studies show, has significantly contributed to the increase in California's prison population mindfully concept is really very handy for me. By after reading your post I've come to know more some delightful knowledge about the teaching writing issue. I hope such kind of writing is really very effective to me for get more some response in my teaching career.↓
This was very interesting info in this website that to I like this information in this blog. I am very much satisfied by this information in this blog. I really admire to this information in this blog↓
You may have not intended to do so, but I think you have managed to express the state of mind that a lot of people are in. The sense of wanting to help, but not knowing how or where, is something a lot of us are going through.↓

Derry News
---- — LONDONDERRY — It took a community to get Londonderry High School's Marching Lancers to Washington, D.C., last week for the inaugural parade.
Parents, the LHS music department, community supporters, corporate donors and, at the top of the list, student musicians and color guard members worked hard to put their collective best foot forward to represent New Hampshire in President Obama's second inaugural event. It was the Lancers' second such appearance in four years.
"We are so proud of the 262 members of the Marching Lancers who participated in the inaugural parade. They worked hard to prepare and, when the big moment arrived, they were ready," said LHS music director Andy Soucy. "All would agree that it was a great thrill honoring the president and vice president on this special occasion."
Tenor saxophone player Connor Student, an LHS junior, was thrilled to be part of it.
"It was a great trip," Connor said. "I had fun with my friends and it was an honor to march for the president."
Senior trombone player Ben Morrill agree.
"It was an excellent trip with a spectacular performance," he said.
The Marching Lancers have represented the community and the state in places as far flung as China and as local as the Derry holiday parade.
"The Lancers represented our school, community and state as musical ambassadors every place they went, receiving compliments for behavior, work ethic and, ultimately, their performance," Soucy said. "They also represented music education in New Hampshire and, in a way, the many fine school music programs we have. It was an amazing opportunity to participate in something historic and we are most pleased with the final outcome."
