Rats blamed for blaze at historic house near Alresford
Updated 1:35pm Tuesday 27th May 2014 in News
A BLAZE that damaged a farmhouse in Cheriton was probably caused by rodents gnawing through cables.
Fire investigators spent yesterday (May 26) assessing the scene at the historic property on North End Lane after fire broke out in the roof the previous evening.
They found the origin of the fire was most likely to have been electrical cabling in the roof, which had seen its PVC insulation chewed off by rodents, the fire service said this afternoon.
Though part of the house's roof and top floor were badly damaged, the officer in charge of the incident paid tribute to the firefighters who managed to keep much of the property intact.
Station Manager Mark Budden said: "The firefighters worked extremely hard to stop the fire spreading to the rest of the roof and also salvaged much of the owner's property from the house.
"The first crew on the scene put in place a really good plan, which ultimately saved much of the roof and top floor of the building."
Eight people, four adults and four children were in the house at the time and managed to evacuate. They were then able to call 999 to raise the alarm. No-one was hurt in the incident.
Station Manager Budden added: "The family did absolutely the right thing. In the event of a fire, we urge people to get out, stay out and call us out."

OT in Tallahassee
By Opinion Staff
To no one's surprise, the Legislature has extended the session almost a week from its Friday deadline. That will alarm those of us who always worry about the potential for mischief when the Legislature is in session, but leaders of the House and Senate say that the extra four days next week only will be to finish work on the budget. Anything else has to be done by this Friday, the regularly scheduled end of the session.
The failure to adjourn on time is not a surprise. The House has been in a mess since an ethics investigation forced out Ray Sansom as speaker. His replacement, Larry Cretul, never wanted a leadership post, and it showed. He basically said that he's ready to get out of office and come back as a lobbyist. The real power is Dean Cannon, set to be speaker in 2011 and 2012. Just as everything Gov. Crist does is focused on getting him to the U.S. Senate in 2010, Rep. Cannon wants to make decisions now that will help him in two years. Today's problems? Long-term help for the state? Not a priority.
We wouldn't rule out the Legislature having to come back in July, after the new budget year starts. If the swine flu story scares people away from Florida, the budget may come up short almost as soon as it starts. Republicans won't admit it, but they would be stumped without that federal stimulus money they criticized Gov. Crist for supporting.

First Review! Spoiler Free.
"On that level, it's a story that will appeal not just to Trek fans, but universally to any fans of good storytelling, who can connect with individuals and the relationships that develop between them, with their character arcs of growth, failure and sacrifice, and their authentic human experiences even amidst the backdrop of exploding photon torpedoes.
Were there things I didn't think were perfect? Well, sure. I thought that Nero actually read a little flat on the page—no pun intended—but, having seen even just brief clips of Eric Bana's performance from the TV spots and trailers, I realize now that he could see in the script what I didn't. He's definitely taken the character and punched him through to the stratosphere.
I also thought there was one brief action set-piece that felt a bit too familiar to one from another film of the same genre (again, no spoilers, so I won't say what); but when you've seen as many SF films, episodes, comics, scripts and pitches as I have, sooner or later you'll find all sorts of moments that can start to seem familiar. It's the only one I found in the script here, though, and if it's executed correctly on the screen, it's going to be a fantastic sequence.
So, all right, it's a great script. But
Star Trek
scripts need to be more than great stories; they need to be great
and that means fidelity to all the precise continuity that goes along with it
Talk of reboots and reworkings and reimaginings makes fans afraid that they're about to rewatch Tim Burton's
Planet of the Apes.
We've all seen Greedo shoot first, and in Hollywood the words "trust me" and "**** off" often sound remarkably identical. When I moderated the
Star Trek
panel at the San Diego Comic-Con last year, the subject of the film naturally came up, and Wil Wheaton, sitting next to me, put it best: "We are all living in a Post-
Phantom Menace
I also have a number of good friends who have written Trek professionally for the screen, and as much as I fully respect them, there's a sentiment among some that resists not just change, but
change. Those friends might very well disagree with me about this script, but it's likely that they would have been disappointed no matter what story was made. Hell, some
Star Trek
fans already have Internet firefights worthy of the Dominion War, and that's just for stories that
restart the franchise. I couldn't produce stories that pleased every single one of those fans when I ran the Trek titles at IDW, and Orci/Kurtzman don't make the mistake of attempting to do that here.
But, just in case you're concerned that this story marks its new continuity by pissing all over the old one, let me reassure you: That isn't what happens here. The script doesn't ignore 40+ years of continuity, it doesn't replace it and it doesn't even eulogize it. It constructs a deceptively elegant device to leave in place all that has gone before, while striking off in a bold new direction. It's a fresh coat of paint on the ship that we're all already familiar and comfortable with.
There is indeed a moment in the script—I won't say what it is, even though it's already been leaked and widely discussed, since I promised no spoilers—that indelibly marks this as a new continuity; it's sure to be controversial among the fans, but it's not a cheap stunt or way of dismissing the old stories. It's the story's way of cementing a new identity all its own.
It's also entirely fair to say that Paramount has hoped to refit the franchise for a new generation, acutely aware of the gently aging demographic that has devoted itself up until now; and in that respect it definitely represents a more modern sensibility and departure from the back-to-basics, "
gets involved in two warring factions on a planet" type of routine story that made
such an epic fail.
But while teens will most definitely love it, I'll also say that my dad is 72 years old, wouldn't know a phaser from a fork in a toaster, and I'm going to make him see it on opening weekend. It's a story that communicates everything we've loved about Trek, to the masses who could never quite fathom why we loved it; it is, in almost every way, the
Star Trek
movie we've been waiting for."

LAKE CHARLES, La. – Junior Dominic Fratantuono had two hits and drove in three runs, including the eventual game-winner in the top of the 15th inning, as Towson University (2-0) outlasted McNeese State (0-2) in 15 innings, handing the Cowboys a 10-9 loss at Cowboy Park on Saturday evening.
The game was the second-longest contest in school history, topped by an 18-inning loss to Old Dominion in 2006. The game lasted five hours and featured 36 hits, eight errors and 30 runners left on base.
With the victory, the Tigers improved to 2-0 on the season, marking the first time that Towson opened its season with back-to-back wins
In the top of the 15th inning, the Tigers pushed across a run to end the marathon. Third baseman Zach Fisher led off the inning with a single to right centerfield. Sophomore Brendan Butler followed with a single to right centerfield as Fisher reached third base. Fratantuono drove in Fisher with the go-ahead run when he lined a sacrifice fly to right, giving Towson a 10-9 lead.
In the bottom of the 15th inning, senior lefthander Mike Ryan nailed down the victory when he retired the side for the third inning in a row.
The Tigers appeared to have won the game in the 13th when they scored twice to a take a 9-7 advantage. Sophomore centerfielder Brandon Gonnella reached base on an error to lead off the inning. Fisher followed with a walk. When Butler doubled to left field, Gonnella scored with the go-ahead run but Fisher was thrown out at the plate. Fratantuono upped the lead to 9-7 when he singled to centerfield, scoring Butler.
In the bottom of the 13th inning, the Cowboys came back to tie the game. Tyler Klouser led off the inning with a double. Shortstop Hans Ask drove in a run when he reached base on an infield single. Andrew Guilliotte and Matt Williams followed with back-to-back singles to score Ask with the tying run.
At that point, Coach Mike Gottlieb went to the bullpen and summoned Ryan to replace sophomore righthander Greg Baruka. Ryan struck out two of the three hitters he faced, sending the game to the 14th inning.
The Tigers, who won the series opener on Friday night by a 12-5 margin, took a 2-0 lead in the first inning. With one out, Fisher singled and stole second base. An RBI double by Butler gave the Tigers a 1-0 advantage. Fratantuono gave the Tigers a 2-0 lead when he hit a run-scoring single to centerfield. Junior Kurt Wertz added to the lead with a solo home run in the second inning.
In the bottom of the second, McNeese State erupted for four runs on five hits to take a 4-3 lead. Skyler Barrentine gave the Cowboys a lead with his RBI double to cap off the rally.
The Cowboys upped their lead to 5-3 in the third inning when Jackson Gooch led off with a triple and scored on a sacrifice fly by Chase Marion.
The Tigers trimmed their deficit to 5-4 in the fourth inning when senior catcher Andrew Parker (right) led off with a double and scored when second baseman Pat Fitzgerald reached on an infield error.
In the fifth inning, Parker blasted a three-run homer over the left field fence, giving Towson a 7-5 advantage.
The Cowboys added a run in the fifth inning when Barrentine and Gooch hit back-to-back singles and Barrentine scored on an infield ground ball hit by Taylor Drake.
Towson protected its 7-6 lead until the bottom of the eighth when McNeese State scored the tying run. Phillip LeBeau led off with a pinch hit single and went to second base on a single by Marion. After Matt Henry grounded out to third, both runners moved up a base. When Klouser drew a walk, the Cowboys had the bases loaded. A pinch-hit single by Michael Sullivan tied the game.
However, sophomore righthander Mike Cioffi escaped the jam by getting Guillotte to ground into a double play.
In the bottom of the ninth inning, the Cowboys made a bid to win the game. With one out, Ballentine and Gooch hit singles to put runners at first and third base. With LeBeau at bat, the Cowboys tried a squeeze play. When LeBeau missed the pitch, Parker retired Ballentine trying to score. LeBeau grounded out to end the threat.
McNeese State outhit the Tigers by a 20-16 margin as Gooch had four hits while Barrentine added three hits.
Butler led the Tigers with three hits while Parker had two hits and drove in three runs.
Ryan picked up the win, the third victory of his career. He pitched three scoreless innings and allowed one hit with two walks and four strikeouts.
Towson and McNeese State will play the final game of their three-game weekend series on Sunday afternoon at 1:00 p.m.

Boris on our 'pathetic apology' for an energy policy
"It is a good 20 years since I last drove all the way to Scotland, and in the interim something unbelievable has been done - in our name - to our green, pleasant and precious countryside.
"I mean the windmills, the turbines - whatever they are called. I mean the things that look like some hideous Venusian invasion, marching over the moors and destroying the dales; the colossal seaside toys plonked erratically across our ancient landscape; the endless parade of waving white-armed old lunatics, gesticulating feebly at each other across the fields and the glens.
– Mayor of London, Boris Johnson
"They seemed to be everywhere, and I asked myself, when were we consulted? Was there a referendum? Did someone ever warn the British people that these moaning seagull slicers were going to be erected on some of the most sensational scenery that God ever called into being?

If we sign Lofton and draft Blackmon in the 1st and Lamar Miller, Doug Martin or David Wilson in the 2nd, and a LB in the 3rd.......mine would move too. I think the Bucs like what they have at receiver now though.
^ Could still get our RB in the early 2nd.
That would go against what Schiano says his philosophy is, run first.
I just did ..... And it moved. Seinfeld fans know what I'm talking about. Yep, it moved.
None as good or close to Trent richardson. Which is why he will be our pick at 5.
At end of day, I just want Bucs to stick to their board with that first pick. Take the highest rated player regardless of need. That's the best approach. Worry about crowded positions later.
Exactly. BPA. That's what this team was built upon years ago. If I where the Bucs then my top 5 board would look like this-Kalil-Claiborne-Blackmon-Coples-RichardsonIMO

A Colorado woman was impaled by a light pole after she crashed because she was texting and driving.
The National Rifle Association said more security is the solution to school violence during a press conference Friday.
The NRA held the much-anticipated news conference to respond to the tragedy in Connecticut and the renewed debate about gun control.
Protesters interrupted top NRA lobbyist Wayne LaPierre several times.
But his message was clear.
He says only one thing will stop an evil person with a gun and it's not more gun control laws
LaPierre also says there is no evidence gun control laws protect anyone.
But President Obama has appointed Vice President Joe Biden to look into the issue of gun control
People on both sides of the debate are passionate about the issue of gun control. And the tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut has had two distinct reactions. We've seen a surge in gun sales in Charlotte and across the nation. But at the same time, some lifelong gun owners have decided it's time to turn in their weapons.
Carl Rosen calls it a "symbolic gesture" to give up his assault rifle. He got the gun from a childhood friend 14 years ago. He says he knows there will be some people who disagree with his choice, but he also hopes it will inspire a few more people ask themselves if they really need a gun like this and maybe decide to give it up too.
"I thought I'd be safer if I bought a weapon like that," Rosen said. Over the years that thought changed. And then the shooting at Sandy Hook happened - - the shooter used a gun similar to Rosen's AK.
"Nothing can be done for the victims of that tragedy but I feel that I have a chance to take one assault rifle out of circulation forever," Rosen said.
Rosen says he no longer feels he needs the 30 round clips and the Romanian wood carved stock. He also feels no one needs such a high powered weapon expect the military or police.
Rosen's wife Freda is also glad to see the gun go.
"It doesn't really matter how many good people there are in the world own a weapon...nobody can be everywhere at all times and know what's in the mind of somebody whose intent it is to hurt another person," Freda Rosen said.
Asked what the couple thought about the NRA's recent announcement of wanting armed security at all the nation's schools, "I think that method is already being used to some extent but I think Carl said it pretty well someone who is motivated to do harm is going to do that anyway," Freda told WBTV.
"I think we need to come up with other preventative measures...more education..make it more difficult to obtain weapons such as this..maybe we might not need that intense security," Carl Rosen said.

Greensburg Daily News
Greensburg —
Angela Hall is accepting orders.
The owner and operator of Greensburg's newest eatery — Just Loafin' — opened her restaurant Jan. 2.
Hall sat down with the Daily News for a brief chat Thursday afternoon, just after lunch rush.
"We've been very pleased with business so far," she said.
Before opening her business, Hall was a teller at Napoleon State Bank. About three years ago, she started college at Purdue, working on a degree in Organizational Leadership and Supervision.
"Those classes really got me thinking about what I wanted to do," she explained. "I've wanted to open my own restaurant for a long time, and the classes gave me a good foundation to move forward. It seemed like the right time."
For Hall, the right time was one class short of earning an Associates degree and a handful of classes from a Bachelor's. She'd like to eventually complete both, but right now, even a single class would be too much.
"I'm putting everything I've got into making this place successful," she said. "And I just don't have time right now."
Thankfully, she's got plenty of help. Her three children — two boys and one girl — work around the restaurant, as does her husband Jeremy.
"My oldest son is in the back doing dishes right now," Hall pointed out. "The other two are in school, but they always help after school."
To date, Hall has experienced significantly heavier crowds at lunch compared to dinner.
"The lunch crowd just keeps getting bigger and bigger," she said. "We haven't seen near as many people at dinner, and we're thinking about ways to change that."
Hall's menu is heavy on sandwiches, salads and wraps, which, she conceded, probably plays a role in the heavier lunch crowd.
"We're thinking about running a nightly special at dinner," she explained. "For instance, we might make Mondays Baked Spaghetti Night and Tuesday's Meatloaf Night and so forth. But nothing's decided yet."
A nightly dinner special would be in addition to the weekly special Hall already runs.
The first week of operation, she featured Ruebens; the second week, the special was homemade tomato soup and grilled cheese; while Ham, beans and cornbread are this week's feature. Next week, Hall be featuring Beef Manhattan.
She emphasized that, though she might eventually feature a daily dinner special, she otherwise prefers weekly specials.
"Weekly specials are better for spreading word-of-mouth interest," she explained. "If you miss the special on Monday, no problem; you can still get it on Tuesday or Thursday or Friday."
"Plus," she continued, "a weekly special cuts down on food costs."
Hall values her customers for more than just their business, she said, explaining that her menu has partially been shaped by customer suggestion.
"We featured the ham, bean and cornbread last week," she explained, "because a guy came in the first week requesting that."
Hall has also added one particularly popular item because from a customer request: Lemon Gooey Cake. The sweet, gooey treat has made a fine addition to Hall's ever-changing assortment of cookies, brownies, pies and cakes.
"I don't have any other name for it," she said. "We had two customers come in one day and request something sweet with lemon in it. We've been selling it ever since."
Hall welcomed any and all suggestions from the community.
"I love to cook and make good food," she said, "and I love to make people happy with my food. If you've got a suggestion we want to hear it. We're glad to do customized requests, but you never know, your suggestion might just become a regular part of our menu."
What ever Hall adds to the menu, it will be homemade, she added — as is almost everything on the menu now.
"We make everything in store from scratch wherever possible," she said. "I experimented with baking my own bread at first, but doing so would just take up too much of my time. If we did our own bread, we wouldn't have time for anything else; we'd be spending our days kneading and rising, kneading and rising and baking."
Hall refuses to add a deep fryer to her kitchen, though. She wants her menu to be as healthy as it is tasty.
"If you want something greasy and deep fried," she said, "you'll have to go somewhere else. There's already plenty of other places in town where to buy that kind of food."
Just Loafin' has already found a fan in Melanie Maxwell, Decatur County's director of tourism.
Maxwell tried the establishment Thursday afternoon for the first time and was favorably impressed. In fact, it was Maxwell who alerted the Daily News to the new eatery.
"Everything I had was just amazing," Maxwell exclaimed. "The noodles in the chicken soup are made from scratch, and the chocolate chip cookies tasted fresh from the oven."
"I'd been seeing the sign out front and was wondering if they were open for lunch yet," she continued. "So I decided to try it. I'm glad I did. Everything was so fresh."
Just Loafin' is located at 826 North Michigan Avenue and is open Monday through Friday from 10:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., and from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturdays.
For more information, call 222-2253.

Two major, contemporary, theological works hit the prepub page yesterday: Berkouwer's Studies in Dogmatics (14 vols) and Pannenberg's Systematic Theology (3 vols).
You might be asking, "Are theologies really the kind of book that benefits from an electronic edition?" Absolutely.
Theologies are chock full of scriptural references, and as a Logos Bible Software book all those references get turned into hotspots…even if they're buried in a footnote. This overcomes a number of limitations of the print:
- It now takes zero effort to look up Bible references to confirm the author's interpretation.
- We effectively create a Scripture index for the entire series of books, not just each volume…no page-flipping needed.
- By creating a defined collection of books and adding it to the Passage Guide report [learn how], the software will remember to search your theologies for references to whatever passage you're studying…without you having to think about it!
That's just a few of the benefits of owning theologies in electronic editions. I could go on and on about searchability, links to other works, the ability to copy and paste, automatic footnoting…but instead I hope you'll check it out for yourself by pre-ordering Berkouwer or Pannenberg or both.
There's only one question left, and that's the inevitable…"Awesome…now how about Karl Barth's Church Dogmatics?" Which provokes our usual response…"Yes, we'd love to do that, too."

McNay Art Museum Meets $50.8 Million Capital Campaign Goal
Announces Completion Committee for Additional Endowment Support
Museum, Region Enter New Era with
Opening of New Stieren Center for Exhibitions June 7
SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS — Tom C. Frost, chairman of the McNay Board of Trustees and
"The success of our campaign was made possible by community leadership and generosity
in the tradition of Marion McNay," said Frost. "As chair of that campaign, I extend my
gratitude to all our supporters. Our financial inspiration began with a magnificent bequest by
our dear friend, the late Arthur Stieren and included The Tobin Endowment, AT&T, The
Ewing Halsell Foundation, the Semmes Foundation, Inc., The Brown Foundation, Inc of
Houston, the Kronkosky Charitable Foundation, Valero, and the scores of other donors who
embraced this project. I'm especially grateful for the commitment of my colleagues, past and
present, on the McNay board of trustees to enabling us to reach our goal. Members of the
board rolled up their sleeves to support this effort as well as opening their checkbooks, and
personally contributed $33 million to our capital campaign,"
After recognizing the key assistance of fellow board members, past and present, in reaching
their campaign goal, Frost announced the formation of a Completion Committee to raise a
minimum of an additional $5 million endowment to support the continued expansion of
programming and rise in expenses.
In what has been the most ambitious capital campaign to date for a San Antonio art
institution, the 54-year-old McNay will soon enter a new level of exhibitions and
programming afforded by the Stieren Center expansion. "It is truly a time for celebration at
the McNay. We've met our fundraising goals, we're about to open the Stieren Center on
time and on budget, we have tremendous inaugural exhibitions to share and are launching a
wide range of innovative educational programs," said Dr. Chiego. "Yet, in order to meet the
needs of our increased attendance, rising operating costs and our commitment to provide
exciting new exhibitions and programs, we must further enrich our endowment."
"Representing the private enterprise sector of the city's cultural institutions, the McNay Art
Museum does not receive any government funding," said Frost. "Throughout its history, the
McNay Art Museum has continuously operated in the black, and moving into a new era, the
only way to maintain that impressive track record is with a strong endowment fund," he
The museum projects a growth in attendance by 40% in the remainder of 2008 and at least
30% in 2009. Total average attendance in 2007 was 100,000 with as many as 45,000
adults, teachers, students and families served by the McNay's variety of art education
programs and resources.
About the McNay
Built by artist and educator Marion Koogler McNay in the 1920s, the Spanish Colonial
Revival-style home opened as Texas' first museum of modern art in 1954. Today more than
100,000 visitors a year enjoy works by 20th-century masters including Paul Gauguin,
Vincent van Gogh, Edward Hopper, Georgia O'Keeffe, Pablo Picasso, Jackson Pollock, and
Pierre-Auguste Renoir. In June 2008, the museum opened the 45,000-square-foot Jane
and Arthur Stieren Center for Exhibition designed by internationally renowned French
architect Jean-Paul Viguier. Nearly doubling the McNay's exhibition space, the Stieren
Center includes three separate outdoor sculpture galleries, the first in South Texas.
Beginning June 10, museum hours are Tuesday through Friday, 10 am – 4 pm; Thursday,
10 am – 9 pm; Saturday, 10 am – 5 pm; and Sunday, noon – 5 pm. Admission: McNay
members – free; Adults -- $8; Students 13 and under -- $5; Seniors -- $5; Active military --
$5; Children 12 and under – free. The museum will be free to the public every Thursday
evening from 4 pm until 9 pm and on the first Sunday of each month.
The McNay is closed on Mondays, New Year's Day, July 4, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.

It is a light but very clear amber with a goog sized head but lots of lacing
Great saison smell, some citrus along with Brett (?)
Good taste but nothing special
Mouthfeel is also solid, plenty of bubbly feel followed by warming
Overall, decent but would not seek it out

On tap at the Oak Cafe. Pours a cloudy golden-orange color, kind of pale, no real head to speak of other than a thin white film that hugs the edge of the glass; minimal lacing. Aroma was, of course, heavy with peaches, but it was balanced out cleanly with a heavy dose of yeast. Some booze comes through on the nose as well, but not harshly so. Taste was kind of weird for me - at first, I wasn't a big fan of it. Peach hits a little too abrasively and is almost a little too sweet, kind of distracting to the rest of the beer. As it warmed up a bit, it got much better. Some alcohol came out and really helped to balance the peach. Also tasted some apricot and pear. Very slight clove and bubblegum were detectable, mostly likely due to the Belgian strain of yeast used. The mouth is left with fading notes of sweetness and yeast. Thin-medium in body, medium-heavy carbonation.
This one is still weird for me. The latter half of it wasn't too bad, but I didn't like it at first. Not completely awful, and perhaps I could evolve to enjoy this one over time, but at this moment, I'm not really digging this one. At all.

22 oz bottle. Pours yellow orange with a medium creamy white head that retains well and laces the glass.
The aroma is peaches, musty yeast and brett.
The flavor is sweet citric peaches, champagne-like alcohol and some musty peppery brett. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with bubbly carbonation.
Overall, a very nice balance of peaches and brett. I like it.

On Tap
Urge Gastropub
San Diego, CA
Hazy, glowing golden peach in color with a creamy off-white head. Nice retention and lined lacing down the glass. Very pretty.
Sweet peaches lead in the aroma, as I was hoping, along with some biscuit and syrup sweetness, and a tough of a dish rag aroma I don't care for, unfortunately.
The flavor is peach-forward, along with just a whisper of funk, bread and biscuit, syrup sweetness, and again a flavor of wet towel/dish rag, especially at colder temperatures. The unfortunate flavors did seem to dissipate after warming.
Medium bodied with moderate carbonation.
Simple, even boring, considering the kitchen sink of ingredients. Tasty enough, but no reason for me to revisit this one.

Poured from 22 oz. bottle into a New Belgium Globe glass.
Appearance: Pours a hazy copper golden orange with a moderate amount of bubbles. About two fingers of off white head that quickly recede into a few thin patches. Lacing is fairly light.
Smell: A sweet and fairly tart aroma. Big scent of peaches upfront with some citrus lemon and orange. Some funky Belgian yeast, Brett, and earthy grass. Sweet molasses, candied sugars, and bready malts. Definitely has that typical Saison scent with that earthy farmhouse element. A pretty sweet smell, but not cloying. Pretty interesting.
Taste: Like the smell leads, a peach forward Saison with lots of grassy funk. Belgian yeast and tart peaches upfront are followed by good notes of citrus orange and lemon zest. Brett along with some molasses and Belgian candied sugars. Lots of earthy grass and barnyard funk. A little bit of pepper. Some bready malts add some sweetness in the background with some notes of caramel and biscuit. Sweet but actually nicely balanced by the funky spice. Quite good.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with a moderate amount of carbonation. Slightly syurpy but very smooth. Can't really notice the high alcohol content.
Overall: A pretty good Saison. I was fearful that this would be sickly sweet, but its far from that. Its sweet but fairly balanced. The peach and Brett add a nice and interesting twist.

ST: 22oz poured into a wineglass
A: Dark orange, hazy, a hint of bellini, with a half-a-fingernail white fluffy head, Peach leaves a little lacing.
S: Very interesting. Herbaceous with strong lemon peel, earth, peach, and a hint of sweetness (most likely from the molasses).
T: It starts out malty and bitter from lemon peel, but some peach enters the flavor shortly after. There is a bit of a sour flavor from the peach and lemon. The molasses is not very sweet, more of the stale sweet flavor mixes with slightly refreshing peach in the finish.
M: Medium and lingering.
O: An interesting mix of flavors. The aroma works better than the taste. The molasses confuses the finish, and the beer might be better without it.

Review from notes.
A: Pours an orange body with slight golden tints to it with a small off-white head that has decent retention. A small cap forms on top and random bits of lacing cling to the glass.
S: Some light peach upfront with a malty sweetness on the back, presumably from the molasses. Slight funk mixed in.
T: More peach in the beginning mixed with a bit of citrus. This is followed up by a pretty heavy malt sweetness. There is a bit of straw/mustiness mixed in as well.
M: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation.
O: Not a bad beer, but was hoping for a bit more in terms of the peaches. The entire time I drank it, I wanted the beer to be much tarter as well.

Bomber poured into a goblet. Served at around 50 degrees.
Peach Porch Lounger is a pale golden yellow color with good clarity. It has thick head at first but settles somewhat quickly leaving some nice lacing behind.
Aroma is pleasantly peachy with hints of lemon and wild yeast.
Flavor is more mild and balanced than expected, especially given it is over 9% ABV. Sweet up front which leads to a lemon tartness towards the middle. It finishes slightly sour with a dryness from the alcohol. It hides it's strength well but it doesn't shout about it's attributes either.
Mouthfeel is balanced and drinkable. Deceptively smooth and fairly refreshing on a hot August day.
Overall a very solid beer but one that really doesn't fall into a category. I wouldn't call it a saison/farmhouse as it says here. Somewhere between a fruit/veg beer and a wild ale.

Pours a hazy golden with a thin white head. Aroma of peach and biscuit. Wow -- the brettanomyces gives an excellent kick of sour, balancing out the sweet peach and bready malts. A bit cloying in the finish, but this is really tasty and really interesting.

A - copper with a thin white head that has little retention; carbonation bubbles rising to the top
S - some yeast, a hint of peach, fruity, some warming alcohol, maybe some white grapes
T - funky, yeast, some peach, faint white grapes, alcohol, molasses is there adding some earthiness
M - warm, medium bodied, well carbonated, a bit crisp
I like this. The alcohol is bit heavy but the peaches are a bit sweet. The Belgian yeast adds some funk and some additional fruit. This is a nice twist on a Saison. It's worth a try.

PHOENIX (AP) - The state Board of Regents has given final approval for construction of the University of Arizona Cancer Center-Phoenix outpatient clinic.
The regents on Thursday also approved a ground lease for nearly 2 acres from the city at the Phoenix Biomedical Campus and a 20-year facility lease with St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center/Dignity Health.
Construction on the $100 million cancer center will begin later this month. The six-story, 230,000-square-foot clinic should be open to patients by early 2015.

1 sprig of thyme
1/2 tsp all-purpose seasoning
1/2 tsp chicken seasoning
1/2-1 tsp soy sauce
1 or 1/2 small hot pepper
5 seeds pimento

6 teaspoons feta cheese

On a medium outdoor grill, grill chicken thighs for about 15 minutes, turning each thigh to allow even cooking on each side. Cover and set cooked chicken aside. Next, grill the flat bread for 1-2 minutes on each side.
Remove bread and set aside. On each round of bread spoon 2 tablespoons of tomato sauce and add toppings as desired. For each bread round add 2 olives sliced, 1/4 of a red bell pepper sliced, 2 teaspoons crumbled feta and finish by garnishing with baby mixed greens, spinach or lettuce. Cut each bread round into 6-8 triangular-shaped pieces.
*To roast your own bell peppers, cut bell peppers in half and remove seeds. Lightly season with salt, pepper and olive oil, char on grill for a few minutes on each side until skin appears black.
Cover in a container for a few minutes, peel away outer skin and use inner part of pepper. Recipe serves 6-8 persons.

Before grilling bring chicken to room temperature. In a small sauce pan on low heat simmer rum, orange juice and brown sugar for a few minutes until reduced.
Chicken thighs may be grilled whole without the use of skewers for approximately 6-7 minutes per side.
Strain chicken marinade, place in a small sauce on medium heat. When it starts to boil, add the rum and boil for 5 minutes, then remove from heat. Remove thighs, cut each thigh into two or three strips and thread each strip onto a skewer. Spoon the rum sauce reduction over cooked chicken skewers.

Tip: When grilling pineapple, you may find it easier if pineapple is skewered with bamboo skewers, soaked at least one hour in water to prevent sticks from burning. Long tongs may also be used.
Method for Salsa:
Combine all the ingredients except salt and pepper in a large bowl.
Stir gently, cover and refrigerate for at least 45 minutes. When ready to serve, add salt and pepper and serve at room temperature. The recipe yields 4 cups salsa.

3 corn on the cob
Sea salt (to taste)
Cracked pepper
Butter to taste
6-inch skewers (for presentation)
Strip corn husk away from corn kernels. Do not discard husk, grill slightly and reserve to garnish platter. Roast corn on medium heat on an oiled grill rack for 6-7 minutes on each side, rotating corn often to allow for even cooking.
Close lid of grill to allow corn to steam. Corn that is not young may need a little more time on the grill. Total cooking time may range from 10-15 minutes.
Place each roasted corn cob on a cutting board. While holding corn down on board firmly, use a large knife to cut 1/2-inch circles or pinwheels.
You may have to rock the knife a little until you get to the inner core to make a clean cut. Place roasted corn pinwheels in a large bowl and gently coat with a little butter.
Season lightly with a little salt and black pepper if you so desire.
Recipe serves 9 persons, 3 corns should yield 18 rounds "lollipops".

A group of British architects who have never built a building together have won the world's most prestigious architecture award.
Archigram, established in 1961 to challenge accepted views on architecture, has won the Royal Gold Medal for Architecture.
They designed flying saucer-shaped buildings set high above ground on stilts and connected by walkways.
The Times says the group took its name from an amalgam of the words 'architecture' and 'telegram'.
Their inspiration came from the space race, the underwater village built by Jacques Cousteau in the Red Sea and from oil rigs.
Paul Hyett, president of the Royal Institute of British Architects, said: "The work of Archigram reflects a freshness, a courage and a creativity that is simply mind-blowing. Those guys started in the days of the mini-car, mini-skirt and the dawn of a mini-technology and still dazzle today."
The group also tried to imagine future lifestyles and designs. In the Plug-in City, the car became part of the home. The Cushicle idea involved a suit of clothes which could be inflated into a home.
Their ideas influenced Lord Rogers of Riverside in his design of the Pompidou Centre in Paris, and on Lord Foster of Thames Bank, for the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank headquarters in Hong Kong.
The medal, which is approved by the Queen, is made annually to a person or group whose body of work has promoted the advancement of architecture. Previous winners include Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier and in 2000 the American architect Frank Gehry, who designed the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao.
Although other awards carry large cash prizes, the medal remains the most prestigious. It is the oldest such award and was first made in 1848.

Do did we and 5 kids later haven't had much trouble with the transitions. My kids are 4,6,8,10 and 13 and we still talk about how great it is to have so many sibs. We remind them often that they are best friends through it all. Siblings are the best gift. Good luck!

We did all of these things with our 2.5 year old son and the transition was relatively smooth. He's been a pretty good big brother so far. However, when we tried to include him in the naming process, his primary suggestion was "Bus Beep Beep, " so we opted to head in another direction. LOL! :)

We've noticed our 2 1/2 y.o. daughter adores babies but gets jealous when we interact with them, so we've been doing a lot of prep with her...I'd love to hear other parents' ideas, too! Here's our strategy list: - Referring to the new one as "our" baby (i.e. the whole family's) - Kids books that reference the ways big sibs are special and important (I'm a Big Sister - J. Cole & Best-Ever Big Sister - K. Katz) - Letting her shop to choose a gift from herself to the baby - Presents she'll get to unwrap: pj's and t-shirts with a Big Sister motif; baby supplies for her doll (Graco has a pretty cheap kit with a playard, stroller, baby gym, and diaper bag) so she can do for her doll what adults are doing for the baby - Introducing her to babies - if you don't know any personally (!), a lot of new parents at the mall have been more than happy to let our toddler interact with their newbies (just have your toddler ask the baby's parents first!) - Transitioning her to a toddler bed, booster seat and potty well in advance so the new baby isn't using 'her' stuff - Brainstorming with her about ways she can be involved when the baby gets here (passing us wipes, etc.), since she takes pride in being helpful ...Hopefully the transition is a relatively smooth one!

Photo: Don King Calls Boxer Arreola 'Wetback'
During a 15 minute rambling news conference speech attempting to promote his two boxers, the legendary boxing promoter, Don King, 80, left the room aghast with a racial slur.
King entered the news conference dressed in a sparkling Mount Rushmore denim jacket with miniature Texas, U.S. and México flags waving in his hands. His purpose was to boost boxers, Eric Molina and IBF World Lightweight Champion, Tavoris "Thunder" Cloud, before Saturday's big event. Among other topics, King quoted Queen Elizabeth and touched on important Texas history in an attempt to inspire the crowd. He predicted his boxer, Eric Molina, the self described underdog with an 18-1 record would quickly defeat opponent Chris Arreola.
"We even brought in a Mexican-American to give him a chance to get out and be at the front of the forefront. No more wetbacks running up and down picking the fruits and things. Now, we're rolling, you know what I mean," said King.
The Mexican American opponent with a 34-2 record, with two world title fights under his belt responded to King's 'speech' by saying, "I do take offense on that wetback thing because both of my parents are wetbacks and I'm proud of being a wetback myself. I am honored to be Mexican, 100 percent."
His reference offended more than just the media attending the news conference. The opposing boxer, Chris Arreola, son of Mexican immigrants, left with a new impression of the legend. In an interview after his 'easy' victory over Molina, Arreola expressed that he had looked up to King as a child, but now realizes he is a "racist asshole."
Realizing that Arreola had taken offense to his comments, King attempted to respond by saying, "Chris you may have gotten the wrong intent . . . because we're all wetbacks, baby."

It's a tale of two friends who lost touch 62 years ago. They met in Marine boot camp, served in World War II, lost touch and now have become friends again, right here in Phoenix.A friendship that survived war and like a Phoenix, rose again right here in the valley of the sun."I saw his name and thought, could that be the same John Farnam that I was in the squad with for six months?" said Dr. Tom Edwards.They were both Marines in boot camp, served in World War II -- one in Okinawa and the other in Iwo Jima. They lost touch and then met again at the Terraces Dinner Hall in Phoenix."It was amazing to see him because I hadn't seen anybody that I'd been in boot camp with ever," said Edwards.Now both are doctors thanks the the military G.I. bill and both treated people here in the valley for many years. Farnam in Mesa, Edwards in Phoenix."Radiologist and the internist didn't see a whole lot of each other," said Dr. John Farnam.They had never seen one another again until now and never lost their sense of humor.62 years later, they're learning about how similar their lives really are. They both married women named Dottie, they're both doctors and both now call Phoenix home."We see each other periodically and we get together and discuss things and say hello to each other," said Edwards.They've become new friends again.

Masssachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010 - $16,650
In order to meet the needs of local communities in developing countries, NGOs, designers, governments, academics, and policy makers need comprehensive, accurate data. But existing data collection processes are time-intensive, costly, and ultimately extract information from communities without engaging the community members themselves in the analysis.
This team is developing mSurvey, a simple, accessible technology that uses text-messaging technology to survey communities through mobile phones in developing countries. The technology captures data in real-time from anyone with a mobile phone and pays each respondent with mobile funds. The survey's model enables communities to reflect on the disseminated data results from each question asked, a unique feature absent from current survey methodologies in developing countries.
The team has already performed two pilot projects in Kibera, Kenya, one of the largest slums in Africa for another team at MIT (Sustainable Vision grantees Sanergy). mSurvey reached out to over 360 community members in 2.5 hours, who texted their input to 25 questions about housing conditions, sanitation, and other demographic information.

Auto Show has faint green tintMonday, December 8th, 2008
A friend and I went to the Auto Show of the Palm Beaches Sunday afternoon, after lunch at CityPlace.
The crowd was light and many of the vehicles were anything but.
I received sticker shock when perusing the assorted SUVs, trucks and cars. I knew the Hummer models get junky gas mileage, but there were plenty of cars on display with only slightly better fuel efficiency.
Gas prices are on the way down, but that isn't going to last forever.
Makes me wonder what the Detroit automakers were thinking all these years, fighting fuel standard increases and moving slower than an oceanliner to adapt to the changing market.
The bright spot is, there were a number of hybrids exhibited, from a number of manufacturers.
Some of the SUVs shown, including hybrids by Lexus and Ford, had mileage numbers firmly in the "not bad" category. If you just have to have a larger vehicle, there are options out there.

I previously purchased a set of 1200 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets and wanted a spare set, so I purchased these ones expecting to be a bit dissapointed after the weight and feel of my other set. When these sheets arrived the first thing I noticed was the hemstich detail and the color - which is amazing! It is actually much richer than shown in the photo. My husband and I love the color so much, we have decided to paint it on our bedroom walls which are currently a red I have loved for years. This color is not ordinary terracotta, but a redder richer, deeper color. (Not at all orangy) Very lovely with my Asian themed bedding set. These sheets have just a hint of a sheen and are very study. I love the extra deep pockets - we have a pillow top mattress with a pad on it and these sheets fit over everything with no hassle. I love the feel of the sheets against my skin and we have found that we don't need a blanket when the evenings are cooler; still the sheets breathe and keep us cool on warmer nights. Compared to the 1200 thread count set, I honestly see very little difference and honestly I prefer these because of the color - so the original set has been demoted to extra set status.
When you wash higher thread count sheets in hot water, they will pill! You have to use cold water if you want quality sheets to last. Just an fyi. . .
These are, by far, the worst sheets I have ever purchased. They quickly developed pilling all over the sheets, making them very rough and uncomfortable to sleep on. I'm throwing these away and trying to find a sheet set which does not feel like sandpaper after only a few washings!
These sheets were beautiful when then arrived. I washed them prior to putting on the bed. After one week of use and one more wash the sheets are showing terrible wear with pilling. I read previous reviews that shared the same experience but, I washed these sheets by themselves and still had bad results. I would recommend going to xxxxx to buy linens.
I bought these because of reveiws, Not sure why mine are pilly after one washing... Color is beautiful. I have a new pillow top bed, these still don't cover to the bottom-its not even extra thick
I ordered the persimmon color. Very pretty! I was expecting abit of a softer feel but as they wash I hope they soften. They are very pretty.
Was looking for a good quality sheet set that wouldn't break the back. After reading that Royal Velvet quality had declined, I found these and I'm so glad I did. Will be buying more.
These sheets are very nice quality.My only regret is not ordering more sets.
I got these sheets in the teal color to match a duvet set, and I've been very happy with them. These sheets are soft and wash well - I took the advice of another reviewer and only wash in cold water to avoid pilling, and I've had no problems at all. I will be buying another set for my quest bedroom.
Disappointed in the feel of these sheets, and am surprised that others find them soft and appealing. They feel very cheap and scratchy to me. The color is darker than it appeared on monitor, but it is a pleasing color nevertheless. Would not purchase again, even though the price was certainly right.

Ariana Grande
- Real Name:
- Ariana Grande-Butera
- Date of Birth:
- June 26, 1993
- Hometown:
- Boca Raton, Fla.
- Resides in:
- Los Angeles
The most recent in a line of teenaged double threats Ariana Grande has been called the mini-Mariah, who the 20 year old readily admits is her biggest inspiration, since her first single, "Put Your Hearts Up," gained radio attention in 2012. She continued her pop chart domination with "The Way" and released her debut CD, Yours Truly, in September 2013. She'd been acting since 2008 when she played Charlotte in the Broadway musical "13." In 2010, she landed a recurring role as Cat Valentine on Nickelodeon's "Victorious" series and now plays the same character in the spinoff "Sam & Cat." The flame-haired cutie's private life is pretty tame although reports of an online feud with her former bestie and costar Victoria Justice surfaced in early 2013. She was also commonly linked to Josh Hutcherson although both she and the "Hunger Games" hunk have both claimed that they are just friends. She dated Nathan Kress ("iCarly") for a short time in 2009.

---- — LAWRENCE — Three armed, masked men who were captured Friday night after barricading themselves inside a South Union Street convenience store are suspects in numerous other robberies in the city — including at least six this month, according to police.
Two of the men have already been charged in one of those other robberies, Lawrence police Chief John Romero said yesterday.
"We believe these individuals have gang affiliations as well," Romero said, declining to elaborate.
The three men tried to shoot their way out of a locked back door, but failed and surrendered when police surrounded the South Union Market at 280 S. Union St. Friday night.
Two of the men were charged with a Jan. 9 robbery on Shawsheen Road, Romero said.
"And this whole group is suspected in as many as a half dozen robberies in the last month, including one in which a man was shot in the leg. They're all punks, 18 and 19 years old," the chief said.
Those arrested Friday night were identified as:
Michael Tesaun Alicea, 19, 59 W. Laurel St.
Richard Mora, 18, of Lawrence, no street address given.
Ruben Saldana, 18, 309 Prospect St.
They are charged with robbery while armed and masked, kidnapping, unlawful possession of a firearm, discharge of a firearm within 500 feet of a dwelling and unlawful possession of ammunition.
The kidnapping charge relates to the seizure and manhandling of an employee at the South Union Market who was found inside a freezer at the store after the men surrendered.
"That woman was extremely traumatized. She hid inside the refrigerator," the chief said.
Romero said police found one weapon, which he described as a .22-caliber machine gun.
He added that police are also looking for a suspected getaway driver who was seen pulling away from the scene in a maroon, four-door, American-made car, possibly an Oldsmobile, as police arrived.
Romero said Alicea and Mora have also been charged in the Shawsheen Road robbery on Jan. 9, when a man was robbed of $300 when he arranged through Facebook to meet someone to buy an iPhone.
He added that the three men arrested last night and their getaway driver are also suspected in at least six other holdups, including one on Jan. 10 at the Kailey Market at 324 Prospect St.
Police said four armed men stormed into the store about 9:15 p.m. wearing Halloween masks, one of them a "Joker" mask.
A man in the store was knocked to the ground and shot in the leg.
Witnesses said one of the men carried a red golf bag with what appeared to be a shotgun sticking out of it; another had a rifle; and two had handguns.
Four shots were fired after they fled with an undisclosed amount of cash.
"This is a very active investigation, and these are dangerous people," Romero said.

PEORIA, Ill.-- The Mid-West Truck and Trailer show featured a special on Saturday.
Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White was a presenter at the Safe and Courteous awards luncheon at the Peoria Civic Center.
Some of the drivers being honored have never had a moving violation or accident in nearly 50 years of professional driving.
When White first took office in 1999, he made it his top priority to improve the state's commercial driver's license program.
He took the opportunity today to thank truck drivers for being responsible.
White said, "I'm here to really congratulate the truckers for just their ability to get from point 'a' to point 'b' in a safe responsible manner and to continue to transport the products we use here in this wonderful country of ours."
The Secretary of State also reminds all truck drivers that they are no longer allowed to use their cell phones while on the roads in Illinois.

KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) - Dexter Fowler had two RBIs in his Houston debut and Chris Carter added a run-scoring double that helped the Astros beat the Atlanta Braves 7-5 Friday night.
Fowler was acquired from Colorado this offseason to play center field and bat leadoff. He put Houston up 2-1 in its spring training opener with a two-run single in the second inning that chased Braves starter Brandon Beachy.
Marc Krauss put the Astros ahead 3-2 with a ground-rule double in the fifth. Carter followed with a double to left field that made it 4-2.
Dan Uggla drove in two runs, and Freddie Freeman had two hits and an RBI for the Braves.

LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- An old prom dress can earn you a gift card to Mall St. Matthews this weekend.
The Prom Project is seeking donations of old prom dresses, shoes, and jewelry. The organization helps local high school students who want to attend their prom but don't have the money to buy a new dress and shoes.

More than anything else, donations of shoes and jeweler are requested.
Mall St. Matthews will give a $10 gift card to anyone who donates during the Prom Jam event from noon to 4p.m. this Saturday. It will be held in front of the Express store.

Our family has yet to come to terms with the sudden loss of our parents, and our children's grandparents, in a tragic road accident. Kind, generous and unassuming, they brought us into this world and looked after us all, unfaltering, for more than 60 years. We now have to let them go, thankfully together, and with tremendous gratitude for their love, guidance and devotion.

Recently I saw a sign that said "Had Enough? Vote Republican!" I began to wonder what one would need to have "had enough" of to consider voting Republican.
Even setting aside issues of maturity and humility, it's hard to view the current city government as a rousing success for the GOP. For a party that proclaims government is the problem and private enterprise is the solution, they don't practice what they preach. We've seen two boards (it's early) ransacked of members who were business professionals (and overwhelmingly Republican) in favor of elected officials. Score one for unquestioning fealty.
We can put another check in the column of fiscal conservatives who have appropriated $130,000 for … TBA. Add in the $250,000 for a movie theater that will at best employ four people full time and a budget that includes bonuses for elected officials (and their appointees) who have been in office only 10 months, and you have to question why the tea party isn't picketing. At least we know that one of our local Republicans is against spending money on "… a study of stuff we already know." Good thing he wasn't around to talk sense into Copernicus or Galileo.
Not that county government is much better; it's mostly the same story. Don't like the judgment of a citizen board? (Sensing a theme?) Just replace them with yourself.
I'll let the sad state of the fire district speak for itself. Though I would ask, is anybody in the fire district actually paying 30 cents per $100 of assessed value as was claimed in the Jan. 20, 2010, Pharos-Tribune? And has anybody seen a township trustee involved in that decision lately, besides on a milk carton?
I'd like to be able to say we could credit Republicans at the state level for the beautiful Ivy Tech campus, but then I'd have to point out that our current state representative was for it before he was against it. Of course, it wasn't just him, every Republican in the House voted against HB 1001; it was important that they put party before policy. Sometimes you've got to stamp your feet and flail your fist to be taken seriously.
I cannot fathom what the local Republicans would constitute an improvement over, Somali warlords? If insanity is doing the same things over, expecting a different result, I fear for the owner of that sign.
