Obama's Broadcast Coup
by Jonathan Singer, Fri Oct 31, 2008 at 10:25:26 AM EDT
The final numbers are in and a whopping 33.6 million viewers tuned in to watch Barack Obama's prime time broadcast on Wednesday night. For reference, that's more than watched the final game of the World Series later in the evening and more than viewed the finale of "American Idol" last season. That prompts the folks at First Read to ask and answer: "Was the Obama infomercial worth the millions the campaign spent on it? It looks like it."
Rasmussen Reports, which seemed to have mixed up the lede in its coverage of the event, polled voters responses to the broadcast and also found that it was a genuine success. Check out what Rasmussen buries starting on the 15th -- 15th -- paragraph of the write up of its survey.
Fifty-four percent (54%) say the ad makes them more likely to vote for Obama, even though 62% say it didn't tell them anything that they didn't already know about the Democratic presidential candidate.
Twenty-four percent (24%) say the ad makes them less likely to vote for Obama, while 20% say it will have no impact.
Fifty-nine percent (59%) of female voters say the ad makes them more likely to vote for Obama versus 50% of men.
Twenty-one percent ( 21%) of GOP voters and 36% of unaffiliateds say the ad increases the likelihood that they will vote for Obama. Thirty-three percent (33%) of unaffiliated voters say they are now less likely to do so, but only four percent (4%) of Democrats agree.
Twenty-nine percent (29%) of voters also say the ad told them something about Obama that they didn't already know, but nine percent (9%) are not sure. Fifty-four percent (54%) of voters ages 18 to 29 and 50% of those who will be voting for the first time in this election say the ad told them something new about the candidate.
Those who watched the ad became significantly more likely to vote for Obama, and a decent chunk of viewers learned something new about Obama that they had not previously known. What more could you ask for from a telecast that reached 33.6 million viewers?

For several months, owners of the mall had allowed the shelter to display animals at the former Sneaky Pete's location in the food court.
The locally owned coffee shop, Coffee Ninja, is now open at the site, and the staff of the Walker County Animal Shelter is preparing to move alongside K-Mart.
Jennifer Bidwell, temporary manager for the shelter, said the new area will hold about the same number of animals as the original mall location.
Bidwell said the mall site has been a great supplement to the shelter's headquarters in downtown Jasper.
"(At the mall) they can come in, sit down and play and interact with the animals," she said.
Volunteers with the animal shelter have been working to renovate the group's headquarters in Jasper, and Bidwell said they plan on having an open house soon.
She also said the shelter's fundraising program The Festival of Trees has started. Participants in the project pay $25 to purchase and decorate a Christmas Tree, which will be displayed at the shelter's site at the mall. Local residents will also vote on the best tree. Individuals and groups can also purchase wreaths for $10.
Bidwell said the shelter is always in need of volunteers and donations of any kind.
Anyone interested in contributing to the shelter can contact Bidwell at 205-388-0625.

High taxes push California businesses to Arizona
By KTAR Newsroom
Originally published: Feb 13, 2013 - 6:59 pm

Proposition 30 has pushed California businesses out of the state with a large percentage moving to Arizona.
According to KCRA.com, California's new Proposition 30 triggered billions of dollars in new taxes, causing many CEOs to come to Arizona looking to relocate their businesses.
When Proposition 30 was passed, Greater Phoenix Economic Council President Barry Broome flew California CEOs to Arizona with the intention of expanding job opportunities in Arizona.
"We do not have the regulatory and tax and expense and anti-business attitude that exists in California," said Barry Broome, president of the Greater Phoenix Economic Council.
The migration of businesses could bring jobs in life-science companies, aerospace defense contracting and engine technology companies, along with software and digital companies.

Walls died Dec. 7 at a Birmingham hospital after a lengthy battle with several illnesses, his son, C. Lee Walls Jr., said Wednesday. He was 79.
A memorial service is planned at 2 p.m. Saturday at Vestavia Hills United Methodist Church.
Walls grew up in the newspaper business when his father, Carmage Walls, ran several newspapers, including Gadsden and Macon, Ga. After graduating from the University of Alabama in 1956 and serving for two years in the Air Force, he got into the newspaper business, becoming publisher of the Cleveland Daily Banner in Tennessee.
He started Walls Newspapers Consultants in Cleveland and began buying newspapers in small- and medium-sized markets. The headquarters moved to Houston and then to Birmingham in 1986. It included newspapers in nine states.
He retired at 75 and his son is now president and CEO of the business. In addition to the Cleveland newspaper, the company includes daily newspapers in Jasper; Cartersville, Ga.; Cookeville, Tenn., and Bolivar, Miss.
Lee Walls Jr. recalled growing up in Cleveland and his father taking him many times to see the newspaper being printed. "He loved watching a press run," his son said. "He would have a smile on his face and talk about feeling the press in your feet."
The son said he could remember subscribers calling his father at home to say they missed the day's paper. He would drive to the Banner office, pick up a copy and hand deliver it to make sure the readers stayed happy. When someone was out on the newspaper staff, Walls would jump in to set type, help with the press or visit a local retailer to pick up ad material.
"He loved the business. He was an 'ink in the blood' newspaper man," his son said.
Felicia Mason, executive director of the Alabama Press Association, said Walls was a quiet leader who made sure his papers not only delivered the news, but supported the communities they served.
"Lee Walls was an icon in the newspaper industry in Alabama and other states for many years," she said.
James B. Boone Jr., CEO of Boone Newspapers Inc. in Tuscaloosa, became friends with Walls when they were students at Alabama and remained close as they built their businesses. "Lee was involved with and spent his whole life with community newspapers, and his newspapers were and are very good ones. His stewardship for the communities he served was excellent," Boone said.
He said Walls had many interests outside newspapers, including being a talented musician, becoming a licensed pilot as a teenager, performing tricks on water skis as a young man, and being an accomplished photographer.
Besides his son, survivors include: his wife, Yvonne Walls; his daughter, Sarah Elizabeth Malinak of Asheville, N.C.; his stepson, Mark Miller of Houston; his brother, Byrd Cooper Walls of Vancouver, B.C.; his sister, Lissa Walls Vahldiek of Houston; his stepmother, Martha Ann Walls, of Houston; and his sister-in-law, Nell Dunn Walls of Lanett.

Jet black in color with a very slight very dark head,the aroma is sweet like molassis and a little nutty.The taste is very earthy and coffeish with a sweet backbone,the alchol is also prevalent in the finish.This is a mans beer for sure one will do me just fine.

Appearance Straight black in color with a dark brown head like the crème you find on top of an espresso shot. The head literally did not go away. It was the last of the tasters and, although they were all poured at the same time, the head was the same when I got to it as it was when the waitress brought it over to my table 20 minutes earlier.
Smell The dark, roasty malts had some good alcohol notes. This is a big nose. The coffee and stale espresso were bitter and inviting.
Taste The alcohol was indeed big at the taste. The dark, roasty malts were incredibly smooth. What a terrific flavor! The raw espresso beans puckered my cheeks. The hops were present as well but lighter than what I remember from drinking the bottle.
Mouthfeel This one is not quite full in the body but its big. The flavors certainly are full. The alcohol sting is hard but makes you want to say thank you, sir, may I have another.
Drinkability This is a must try for any serious Imp Stout fan.

On tap at Rogue Ale House in San Francisco.
Absolute crude oil black appearance with no hues whatsoever, even when held to direct sunlight. Just blackness! Head is thin and dark brown with lovely lacing. A superb looker. Hansom as Imp. Stouts come. Aroma is a bit lacking in comparison to some of the better thought of Imp. Stouts. Still, there is much to be said of it: Plenty of roastedness, black currants, espresso, anise, cocoa, and spiced rum. Flavor is magnificent. Alcohol content is well covered. Deeply grainy with strong coffee and cocoa flavors. Mild hop presence. Subtle vinous qualities. Mouthfeel is sublimely smooth. Wildly drinkable. Quite dangerous really. When I mentioned that the alcohol was well concealed I meant it. I can see myself drinking several pints of this and then collapsing from my bar stool when I stand up to use the mens room. The booze in this can really creep up on you. Wonderful beer.

2006 vintage, ceramic bottle. Serving date: 2009-08-07.
A: Pitch black with a small beige head. Some lacings.
S: Lots of hard roasted malts, chocolate and coffee. Notes of licorice and dark fruits. Some alcohol.
T: Roasted malts, coffee and dark bitter chocolate in the mouth, with notes of dark fruits and licorice. Some wood. The flavor is rather sweet, but there are some salt notes as well. The finish has an almost ravaging bitterness to it that together with a surprisingly prominent taste of alcohol runs havoc in the mouth. Notes of soy sauce and tannins.
M: On the lighter side of full-bodied, smooth texture, gentle carbonation.
D: A very good and powerful imperial stout. There are some pretty bold flavors going on here. Unfortunately, I think the bitterness in the finish was a bit too much. Interesting to note that the alcohol is still this prominent after three years in the bottle.

Poured black with small brownish head that laced for a while. Has a little bit if red around the edges in the light. Smell is roasted malt coffee chocolate. Smell is very nice. First taste was of the roasted malts and a bitter chocoloate. Not very sweet. Swallowed kind of bitter with an espresso taste on the back end(dowgraded the taste because of this flavor). This was a rogue beer and in typical fashion there were plenty of hops to balnce out the malt, but hard for me to pinpoint their flavor. Into the glass as it warmed, a few esthers vecame more apparent. A little thinner in the mouth than typical for the style-the alcohol however was nowhere to be seen. Overall pretty good-want to see how one tastes after a year laying down.

Review from Inaugural Issue of Beeradvocate Magazine.
Here's an old-school 2000 Rogue XS bottle, a seven-ounce mini-bottle with a painted label which warrants props for listing all the ingredients, year bottled, plato (26), IBU (87.5), lovibond (258), apparent attenuation (77) and a recommendation that it's best served when aged for a year. Well, folks, how about over six years? Let's find out.
Popping the twist-off cap made little noise, so it's no surprise that the pour led to barely any head, but what's there is a thin topping of chocolate-colored bubbles. Beneath is an ominous, black-as-hell liquid, sitting heavily in the brandy snifter. Oxidized aroma of sherry, Port-like alcohol, wet paper, herbal, leaf, hint of smoke, and some peppery rubbing alcohol. Falls fl at on the palate. No carbonation. An even, somewhat thick, hard-water consistency; slightly chewy. The big malts that this beer was known for have been converted, dried up, and weakened greatly by time. It's become more vinous, sharp, with young Port-like flavors, and a dash of black pepper, but a powdery chocolate and smoke character is all that remains of its former malt presence. Hint of chocolate cake breadiness. Some semi-bitter, raw leafiness from the hops are still intact. An unpleasant smoky, dry and powdery fi nish, with a candied-fruit booziness that seeps out of the palate and lingers for a bit. Not overly fun to drink, but interesting.
If you're cellaring some of these at home, they've hit their peak and are probably good candidates for the kitchen. We'll be turning our remaining bottles into some tasty drizzle reductions for desserts.

2003 bottling. Glugs out a black that's as dark as night. Very nice chocolate colored head. Man, I love the smell of these stouts. This one smells of chocolate and prunes (good, even though I hate prunes). Taste is pretty much the same, very thick with a chocolate, coffee, fruity flavor. The only problem I have with this beer is the excessively bitter aftertaste. I don't mind bitterness in the flavor, but this lasts way too long. The taste is great, the aftertaste leaves much to be desired.
Overall, a fair impy. Pretty warming on a cool fall night. But that aftertaste is a killer...

Vintage 2001. 12oz XS series bottle. Pours into my SN tulip glass an extremely thick, viscous dark crude oil black with a rising extremely deep tan head that leaves spotty lacing everywhere. Like a black hole..this beer envelopes light. Simply fantastic. Aromas of deep, rich dark chocolate malts erupt with vinous sherry-like scents as well. Notes of bitter coffee, vanilla and burnt malts mix with a citrus hop background that is still noticeable after 4 years in the bottle. I'm not getting any off aromas at all. The anticipation builds...
First sip brings a slick dark roasted maltiness with a big blast of chocolate flavors. Light swirls of bitter coffee along with a vinous and sherry notes backed by mellow alcohol tones. The sweet toasted malts hit initially, followed by a nice bitterness comprised of mellow citrusy, herbal hops. Toasted marshmallow comes to mind on the way down. Big, bountiful and damn good. Quite the impressive Russian Imperial Stout.
Mouthfeel is big, thick and creamy with a smoothed out carbonation that allows it to flow down very easily. At 10.5% the abv is very well hidden and makes it easy for you to get ahead of yourself while drinking it. I would gladly drink another if given the opportunity..but at this abv it's really more of an occasional treat. Truly one of the best imperial stouts around. I'm glad I have a 2003 waiting patiently for me in the cellar. Rogue...please bring back the 12oz XS bottles, please??

Served in a tulip glass from one of the XS bottles. It was an impenetrable black with a thick brown head. It had a coffee and roasted malt aroma, maybe a little chocolate too. Similar taste: espresso, roasted malt, a tiny hint of chocolate. The alcohol was hidden well, but I think it warmed things up a little. A little bitterness, but good mouthfeel. Good beer.

Rogue XS Russian Imperial Stout. 7 oz bottle. Bottled 2009.
Poured into a small snifter. Black as you can get. nice thin cocoa head.
Smell is weaker than I expected. Definitely some alcohol on the nose. Hint of sweet dark chocolate cherry.
Wowza. It's got some heat to it. Sweet chocolate booze up front with a lingering bitter aftertaste.
The bartender warned me this was still a little young, and I'd have to agree. I drank several drafts of this in a session last year this time, but would not want anymore than the 7 oz i have in front of me right now. If you happen upon some, I'd get it and stash it away for a while. I'll probably pick up a couple more of these little guys and do the same.

A - pours pitch black with two fingers of light brown head. Head fades pretty quickly and doesn't leave lacing.
S - massive amounts of bittersweet chocolate in the nose. Also hints of coffee, a bit of sugar and lots of roasted malts.
T - Similar to the smell there is a huge amount of chocolate in the taste, along with more roasted malt than I got in the smell. Some charred malt as well, maybe a bit too much. Very smooth with almost no noticeable alcohol. Nice.
M - Slightly syrupy full mouthfeel. The roasted malts give a very dry finish.
O - This is a very nice RIS, and the age has led to very smooth brew. One of the better Rogue offerings.

Rogue XS, 2002. Beautifully dark and thick chocolately brown. Scant amount of head, but what there is a nice creamy beige with dark brown climbing up on the tops for a bit... tiny ring on the edge and slight pretty clouding swirl across the top. Great scent of port wine, cream sherry, warm alcohol scents, chocolate and coffee. Dark and burnt flavors, great taste. Earthy, very dark good chocolate, dark black coffee, burnt toast, toffee, bit of oakyness, hoppy and roasted malt flavors allll mingling... So good! I keep just wanting to describe it as "dark", that is a good thing to me. Not to heavy at all, good body/mouthfeel, just enough carb and not too much. I could easily kick back alot of these. I can hear some of my friends saying it is too bitey for easy drinkability though. Leaves tons and tons of flavor sitting in your mouth.
Taste makes me think of the aftertaste from when you have dark chocolate covered espresso beans...
Very good Rogue offering!

Had on tap at the Novare Res tap take over.
The beer is black with a big frothy tan head. The head remains to the end.
The aroma is fantastic and creamy. Hints of raisin and a light roasted coffee and chocolate.
The taste is nice easy chocolate and roasted coffee as well as hints of leather at the end. very nice I would love to try this with some age on it.

12 oz brown bottle with a 2001 bottled vintage date.
Appearance: A think vicious brown head forms three fingers deep, awesome slow-motion cascading effect. Retention is superb. Jet black colour shows no trace of light.
Smell: Soft espresso, ghost smoke, sharp unsweetened chocolate and light burnt malt come from the blend of roasted malts. Ripe black currants, molasses and a rough smell from the hops as well.
Taste & Mouthfeel: Almost syrupy in the mouth with a heavenly creamy smoothness. This brew is just bursting with roasted malt flavours. Fresh espresso, bakers chocolate and light charcoal. Hops bitterness is not to be ignored, bitter oil resins all over. Alcohol is there but does not see to flare out too much, more warmth in the back end. Some sweetness does make it threw with complex tones of dark sugars. Bitterness from the hops and roasted malts drives a day and a life into the after taste.
Drinkability & Notes: No holding back, big time flexing and just so outrageously good. To sum it up this brew as far as Imp Stouts go is one to be reckoned with. Some chocolate covered hazelnuts went very well with this one.
Tasted on 12-30-99. 7oz 1996 vintage bottle. As black as black could be ... with a wispy brown yet sticky lace.
Smell: A touch of sweetness that has hints of over caramelized fruit and a mild acidic twang from the roasted malts ... some hops are there but underlying. There is also the smallest hint of wet paper which shows a bit of aging.
Taste: Oh so smooth with a massive chewy malt mouth feel in this more than full bodied brew. Catastrophic flavours erupt from this thick black liquid ... rich dark chocolate and espresso, sweet and bitter hop flavours ... this is a war upon the taste buds. A faded papery taste is there yet is cast aside as the finish come forth. The finish is a devastation of roasted malt flavours and well as residual sweetness.
Notes: Yes this brew seems like it is peaking in its 3rd year ... a god like brew, this stout is only for those who are worthy of drinking the best. The weak will surely perish upon the mere touch of this brew to their lips. As close to perfection as you can get.

2002 bottle found at City Wide Liquors in South Bend, IN. Opaque oily black with a smallish, fading rich brown head. It is leaving some rather nice lacing though. A swirl of my glass stirs up pungant hops that fade to rich dark chocolate and dark roasted coffee beans. The flavor works just the opposite. Upfront you get a short charge of creamy milk chocolate and a nice cup of joe. That is short lived because the hop flavor and bitterness are WAY over the top. So much so that it is a big turn off. The palate is rich and creamy. Crank back the hops a bit and we have a real winner.

12 oz bottle, 2001 vintage. Pours a dark and thick opaque black body with an elegant and creamy light brown head. Good retention and lots of lacing on the glass. Lots of good stout aromas, with bitter burnt coffee and unsweetened chocolate. Very roasty and smoky dark malts run rampant in the nose. Mouthfeel is creamy and full bodied, with low medium carbonation. Taste is dominated by the toasty, roasted dark malts. Burnt coffee bitterness, some chocolate cake, and a note of black cherries. Just a hint of the big alcohol. Bitter roasted malt finish with a hint of raisins in the aftertaste. Hops presence seems muted with age, and no hops notes were picked up. This one seems unlikely to benefit much from further aging. Very nice American double stout, but I wish I had sampled it when younger for sake of comparison.

12 oz bottle, bottled in2003 etched in bottle. Pours black with minimal head, very fine bubbles and lace. Super Rich and thick, this is strong stuff! Alcohol obvious in nose, taste, mouthfeel and in head (IE: it goes there quickly). Heavy body, use a knife and a fork! Strong roasted malt, expresso coffee, dark chocolate,and molassas, notes. Dry in the mouth, chalky, bitter, hops a blazing. A fine after dinner sipper. Balance and craftsmanship on full display.

2004 12oz. bottle
Damn...this thing pours an evil, cloudy, dark as night black w/ a full finger of thick mocha head. Tight lacing that is motionless on the side of the glass...this is one serious brew!
Smell is a sweet raisins and coffee w/ just a hint of alcohol...real pleasant. Some chocolate scent as well, but not what is dominating at this point.
Did I say thick??? Holy crap, this baby is like a milk shake...packed with chocolate, coffee, malt and hops. For its consistency, this baby is still refreshing. It is very smooth and balanced...not bitter at all and leaves a tasty aftertaste. I wouldn't say drinkability is rated high, but it is no struggle to finish off this pint w/ a huge smile on my face. I do not taste the alcohol one bit at just above room temperature...but I can feel its effects after just 8 ounces...I like that!
Great beer...next.

2009 vintage in a 7 ounce bottle.
The beer pours a dark brown to black color with a tan head. The aroma is roasted malt and chocolate, with a little something else added to it. I ran out of beer before I could identify it.
The flavor is bitter roasted malt, chocolate and some alcohol. The flavor is not as complex as I hoped it would be, but it tastes very nice.
Full mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

My husband wants sex, but I don't. What should I do?
My husband has made it clear that he finds me as desirable as ever and wants to continue having sex during our pregnancy. But I feel too big, tired, and unattractive to get in the mood. How can I explain this to him without hurting his feelings or making him feel deprived?

Keep the flame going..i say. Sometimes, its important that you give them pleasure.. try to make the routine starting with a complete body massage for him.. and slowly give him an oral, followed by the actual stuff. Ask him to stay gentle. Do this as often as you can. Its important to connect intimately in marraige, even if there are a bunch of issues/excuses on the plate. ENjoy it too.posted 09/26/2007 by rc2008
If you want to have sex.. Try eating some chocolate to get you into the mood. Chocolate does make you horney! Why do you think men give so much to women on Valentines day..lol.

want to hear about having a hard time making love or finding time to be alone. I am 18 weeks pregnant moods are up and down, still getting morning sickness, and in the process of moving out of state. we are living with my parents right now until my husband is done with his training. I have three sisters 19 16 and 13 who all live with my parents and there is constant fighting and yelling over more time in the bathroom or other girl things and my parents are very nosey and have to always be wondering what your doing. so trying to find some alone time is hard enough cause everyone is always around, let alone trying to find time for sex even harder, or trying to get in the mood. hearing people arguing in the other room not exactly a mood maker. the thing that gets us through is my husband is absolutly amazing and understanding about everything. we do things like take walks, read books, offer to go grocery shopping for the family...best advice make communication top priority it works for usposted 02/08/2010 by a BabyCenter Member

Im lucky if i get anything in 2 weeks or longer. I dont get why im not good enough but i would gladly give in and have sex if thats what he would want.posted 02/15/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
I am 12 weeks pregnant and I do not want anything to do with sex. It litterally makes me crindge. I hate the idea of it, the feel of it, there is nothing there for me. I feel bad for him, as he is a sex addict. But why can't he understand why I don't want it. It is a chore I hate at this point. It makes me feel violated or raped. He dosn't care nor does he care how it makes me feel. I just want peace and to be alone. Instead of being forced to in the middle of of rhe night during a deep sleep. I mean where is the respect at anymore? Not that there ever was any.posted 11/05/2007 by Sweet_#6_on_tha_ way

You ladies are lucky your husbands still want to have sex! I'm always wanting it but getting turned down. I'm 21 weeks and my husband feels weird about having sex. He says he feels like he is poking the baby and even though I assure him he's not and the doctor does too he refuses! He shows no interest what so ever. I feel totally unwanted and undesirable. Anyone have any suggestions for me?!?posted 01/12/2014 by a BabyCenter Member
I am jealous of most of you. I am one of the few on here whos husbands have no desire in me for sex or really any type of intimacy. Before the pregnancy wasnt good so I guess I shouldn't be surprised but it's still very upsetting...posted 04/15/2013 by a BabyCenter Member

The Boston Red Sox are in need of some serious reinforcements, in short order. Their awful start to the 2012 season has been compounded by injuries to outfielders Jacoby Ellsbury and Jason Repko. The team has no major league-ready options at Triple A Pawtucket and Carl Crawford is still rehabbing from an injury stemming from last season. They need outfield help in a hurry and they may be getting it sooner than you might think.
On Saturday, it was reported that the Sox were nearing a deal with the Chicago Cubs that would bring Marlon Byrd to Boston. Jon Heyman of CBS Sports reports that Byrd could be in Boston as soon as Sunday.
Byrd has also had a slow start to the 2012 season but would be a definite asset to the Red Sox.

The timetable for RB Adrian Peterson's knee injury is far from known now, but the early prognosis is that a return prior to Week One is far from assured. On the one hand, the Vikings want to play it safely, knowing they potentially have $100 million ($36 million guaranteed) invested in him. On the other hand, however, they also know he is the centerpiece of the franchise offensively and that his healthy (and, hopefully, quick) return to a team that otherwise lacks an offensive identity is essential. Peterson has a torn ACL and a damaged MCL in his knee, which usally means a nine-month recovery time. There is some hope, however. Players such as Cadillac Williams and Wes Welker have suffered similar injuries late in seasons the past few years and were able to return to action the next Week One, even though they later said they were not back to feeling themselves at full strength until the following season.

Dr. Mohler's review in the latest Southern Seminary Magazine (Spring 2009, Vol. 77, No.1):
Worldliness — Honest Talk About Seduction
By R. ALBERT MOHLER JR.
My friend C. J. Mahaney and a few of his friends have written a powerhouse of a book in Worldliness: Resisting the Seduction of a Fallen World (Crossway). In its essence, worldliness is "a love for the fallen world," Mahaney explains. "It's loving the values and pursuits of the world that stand opposed to God." More emphatically, it is "to gratify and exalt oneself to the exclusion of God."
Just in case anyone might miss how to apply this, Mahaney and his team go right after major temptations inherent in worldliness. Craig Cabaniss writes about worldliness and media with good insight. To no surprise, Bob Kauflin goes after music, bringing the same theological insights he brings to his music ministry. Take this zinger, for example: Kauflin warns that a sign that music has become an idol is when our passion for Christ has waned but our passion for music has not.
Dave Harvey writes about worldliness and "our stuff." (Loved his warning about "virtual giving.") Mahaney then turns to worldliness and dress, offering good and much needed advice, and Jeff Purswell concludes by talking about the Christian's right understanding of the world. We are not here by accident.
Worldliness offers other good features, including a foreword by John Piper. Most importantly, the book is Gospel-centered and avoids both legalism and antinomianism. Read it, savor it, ponder it… and then give a copy to someone else.

AUSTIN -- A 36-year-old Austin man is recovering from his injuries after he said a hit-and-run driver left him for dead last week.
"I can't work right now. I can't stand for long periods of time and stuff like that so it's really eating into my pocketbook," said Joe Montgomery.
On Monday, Sept. 2, Montgomery was on his bicycle at Oltorf and I-35 heading to work when witnesses said a pickup cut him off, hit him, dragged him for a distance and kept going.
"I just don't understand what their thought process was like. I mean, were they intoxicated? Did they know they didn't have insurance?," asked Montgomery, who doesn't have medical insurance.
He said when he called the driver's insurance company, as directed by Austin police, an insurance employee told him the driver in question was not covered at the time of the accident.
"She was like 'When were you hit?' and I told them Sept. 3, and she said, 'Well that person doesn't have, they didn't have a policy, they don't have insurance on that date,' said Montgomery, who now has a broken vertebrae in his back and several broken chips out of his legs.
A personal injury attorney told KVUE that victims of uninsured drivers do have more options than they think.
Attorney Willie Schmerler said victims can take legal action against an uninsured driver's blood relatives or spouse if they live together.
Schmerler also dispelled the myth that personal injury attorneys won't take a case without money up front.
"Most people don't pursue uninsured motorist coverage because they think it's going to count against their insurance rates and it's not supposed to," Schmerler said.
He added that an uninsured driver with a judgment against them can lose their license if they don't pay.
"The DPS has a long-standing policy of not allowing that person to renew their license without having satisfied that debt," said Schmerler.
Austin police confirmed a detective has been assigned to the case. Witnesses turned in his license plate number. However the driver has not been arrested as of yet.

Steve Johnson had himself a nice outing Sunday, catching five passes for 52 yards and a touchdown on eight targets from quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. Unfortunately, a decent day for fantasy owners wasn't enough to end the Buffalo Bills' losing streak. Johnson has now recorded a touchdown reception in three consecutive games.
If your fantasy league rewards excessive, slightly awesome touchdown celebrations, Johnson was your MVP last week. One celebration was not enough for Johnson, who managed to mock opposing receiver Plaxico Burress by feigning a shot to the leg and a crashing plane as an homage to the New York Jets. He packed in two celebrations since that was his lone touchdown and his first since Week 6.
Johnson had 622 receiving yards on 54 catches prior to this game. He had scored five touchdowns. Fake Teams ranked Johnson 21st on their receiver rankings for Week 13.
For more on Johnson and the Bills, check out Buffalo Rumblings. Be sure to follow @SBNationFantasy on Twitter as well.

Owen Thomas, Business Insider
Here's the stats Microsoft shared:
- Full year 2012 sales nearly tripled year-over-year (as of Jan. 31, 2013)
- Fourth quarter sales quadrupled year-over-year (as of Jan. 31, 2013)
- Number of paying customers increased 165 percent in 2012
- Yammer has surpassed 7 million registered users
Microsoft also says that Yammer added "a record 290 new paying customers" in the fourth quarter, including GlaxoSmithKline, T.G.I. Friday's, Trek Bicycle Corp. and Woolworths Ltd.
But, as we previously reported, employees are growing increasingly unhappy at the company.
Earlier this month, Microsoft laid off 20 Yammer employees in sales and marketing. What really burned was that the company confirmed the layoffs to tech news outlet TechCrunch before management actually told employees about it.
For what it's worth, Yammer was on track to do $15-$30 million in sales in 2011, according to analysts. That would mean that 2012's revenue was $45-$90 million.

Why Nick Clegg's still taxing Cameron and Miliband
Date: 19. February 2012
Gavin Kelly
This post originally appeared on Gavin's New Statesman blog
It remains a curiosity of today's political scene that a small and unpopular party bumping along on 7 to 10 per cent in opinion polls is making the waves on the central issue of tax policy. On this one issue at least, the two main parties find themselves reacting to the gauntlet the Liberal Democrats have laid down.
Nick Clegg's recent speech to the Resolution Foundation making the case for going further and faster in reaching a personal tax allowance of £10,000 has been widely reported as a significant moment in the genesis of the forthcoming budget which due to the precarious position of the economy, and the increasingly creaky nature of the Coalition, is destined to be a highly charged affair both fiscally and politically.
The coalition's woes with women
Date: 13. September 2011
Gavin Kelly and
If you want to see a fearful expression, talk to senior coalition members about shifting patterns of support among women voters. Call it a cold-sweat, or a premature onset of mid-term jitters -- they are distinctly, indisputably on edge. Which is odd, at least on the face of it, given that the Conservatives -- if not their Coalition partners -- are currently polling at broadly similar levels of support to the last election.

Heriberto Viramontes grabbed a wooden bat, jumped out of the car and was gone long enough for one song to play on the radio, his alleged getaway driver testified Monday.
During that time, prosecutors contend, Viramontes attacked Natasha McShane, an exchange student from Northern Ireland, and Stacy Jurich, her friend, leaving McShane unable to speak and walk, the Chicago Sun-Times is reporting.
Marcy Cruz, the alleged getaway driver, testified Monday against Viramontes, 34, who is charged with attempted murder, armed robbery and aggravated battery in the April 23, 2010, attack.
The women were on their way to Jurich's home in Bucktown in the early morning hours after a night of celebratory drinking when Viramontes allegedly attacked them in a viaduct in the 1800 block of North Damen Avenue.
Cruz testified that she met up with Viramontes at a private club at West Division Street and North Campbell Avenue that night. They drove over near Presence Saints Mary and Elizabeth Medical Center at Division Street and North Western Avenue, parked and had sex, she said.
Then they drove to Bucktown, crowded with people, Cruz testified, and Viramontes allegedly told her he "wanted to rob them."
After parking on a little street next to an alley. Cruz said Viramontes told her: "I don't want you to be involved in what I'm about to do."
Viramontes grabbed a wooden bat, jumped out of the car and was gone long enough for one song to play on the radio while Cruz stayed behind and smoked marijuana, she said.
He came back carrying purses, Cruz said, and told her to "drive off."
Later, he allegedly told Cruz, "The girls were really pretty, and that he did some bogus s---."
Viramontes also later told Cruz "if anything happened, to say that he got the purses from a crackhead," she said.
The attack captured international attention, and McShane has remained at home in Northern Ireland while her parents and other relatives attend the trial in Cook County Judge Jorge Alonso's courtroom.
Cook County prosecutors have said Viramontes and Cruz took credit cards from the women's purses after the beating and began a spending spree at a gas station at West Augusta Boulevard and North Western Avenue.
Jurich, now 27, has admitted on the witness stand she "never saw a face" during the attack, though, and may have initially described the assailant as a "black man." Viramontes is Hispanic.
A store clerk from the gas station also admitted he didn't see any blood on Viramontes the morning of the attack. Viramontes' attorneys maintain that if he had hit Jurich and McShane, he would have had blood stains all over his clothes.

Police search for Vista hit-and-run driver
Officers: Good Samaritan struck on Highway 78
VISTA, Calif. - Authorities asked for the public's help Tuesday in finding a North County motorist who sped away after striking and seriously injuring a good Samaritan who apparently ran onto Highway 78 to help two drivers who had just been in crashes caused by a mattress in the roadway.
The wrecks began about 11:30 p.m. Monday, when a 36-year-old Oceanside woman in a Nissan Altima crashed into a center divider while attempting to avoid a mattress on eastbound Highway 78 west of Vista Village Drive, according to California Highway Patrol Officer Jim Bettencourt.
A short time later, a 30-year-old Encinitas man traveling in the same direction struck the mattress with his 1994 Toyota pickup, Bettencourt said in a statement. The pickup spun out of control and struck the Altima before coming to rest on its side, he said.
A woman who presumably witnessed or overheard one or both of the crashes from frontage road ran onto Highway 78 to render aid, Bettencourt said.
After checking on the Altima driver in the center divider, the woman attempted to run back across eastbound lanes. She was struck in the slow lane by a dark sedan with an antenna sticking out the rear window, Bettencourt said.
The driver kept going.
The good Samaritan was transported to Palomar Medical Center suffering from major injuries, Bettencourt said. They Altima driver was taken to Tri-City Medical Center with moderate injuries, he said, adding that the pickup driver was not hurt.
A fourth crash, involving three vehicles, also occurred on eastbound Highway 78 as a result of motorists trying to avoid the wreckage from the previous accidents, but only one person from the three-car crash was taken to a hospital, according to Bettencourt. That victim was taken to Tri-City Medical Center suffering from minor injuries, he said.
Anyone with information about the hit-and-run crash or the location of the hit-and-run vehicle was asked to call the CHP at 858-637-3800.

I went I over and he asked to see our "darkest red" and I knew he was talking about wine so I said "sir, this is McDonalds. The darkest red we have here is ketchup" and he had me pour him a glass of ketchup and he drank it while looking me directly in the eye.

There are several resources that can be consulted but a couple that I think give a good amount of detail about the James boys are; Jesse James: The Last Rebel of the Civil War by TJ Stiles and Frank and Jesse James: The Story Behind the Legend by Ted Yeatman. Both are good reads and well researched.

7.1%, according to the website...
dark(er) color than expected for the smell i was getting.... thin foam....
smell is hop-py, for certain, with the amber color.
taste is light hops, some malt in the mix, some bitterness but easy to drink.
overall, decent, semi-sessionable.... nothing overly impressive....

Poured on-tap in a pint glass at the pint house in Fullerton, CA.
A- Half a finger white head. Medium retention. Deep orange-brown color and some watery lacing.
S- Darker malts. Medium bodied hops.
T- Bitter hops and dark malts. Finishes surprisingly watery and bitter.
M- Unfortunately watery and kind of unappealing.
O- Suffers from watery feel and flavor. Wouldn't do again.

Draft at the brewery.
Pours a hazy, golden apricot color with a half finger white head that immediately settles into a thin ring. Minimal spots of lace.
Earthy hop aroma with lots of malt sweetness. Hints of caramel, toffee, hazelnut and subtle fruit countered by floral, piney hops.
Medium bodied with a blast of dry, bitter hops that linger over the sweeter malt notes into a dry finish. Much hoppier than the nose suggests with lots of dank pine needle flavor that's countered by caramel, toffee, nut and light fruit. Finishes dry. A bit thin but easy to drink and flavorful.

On tap at Tony's Darts Away in Burbank, CA.
Pours a clear amber color with a 1 inch beige head that settles to a film on the top of the beer. A very nice foamy lattice of lace forms on the glass on the drink down. Smell is of malt and some herbal and citrus zest hops. Taste is of sweet malt and herbal and citrus zest hops. The aftertaste has some slight tropical fruit. A mild bitterness lingers on the palate after each sip. This beer has a crisp level of carbonation and a somewhat dry mouthfeel. Overall, this is a good beer that is easy drinking.

It's interesting how some beers are a work in progress. Rather than dropping them, the brewer sees some kind of potential and keeps working with the recipe until the beer matures into its full taste potential.
At first drink, Rocco Red didn't impress. Don't remember much about that first meeting, likely because I tend not to remember non-tasty beers. Scratch pad memory, y'know.
One day, a couple of Bootleggers employees sat around drinking after shift. Polite curiosity, I asked the name of the suds being consumed. When he replied 'Rocco Red,' I mentioned that RR didn't spark up my mouth the first time around. 'Ah,' the employee, 'this beer has evolved since then.'
It sure did. Strong smell and taste of hops now right up front, far stronger than I remembered, yet very smooth and drinkable. Then Rocco turned maltier, which complemented the faint, unidentifiable fruit essences. What was once a blah experience has turned into a tasty beer in my regular rotation at Bootleggers.
Low to medium head, middling carbonation, a dark cherry color poured into the glass.
Here's to Rocco making it into the bottle someday so I can enjoy this fine beverage at home.

Had on tap with Klym @ the brewery when we picked up our Knuckle Sandwich! review from notes 7-18-11
poured into a bootleggers jar (?.. not a fan)
A: Iced citrus tea with everything but a lemon in it. Sugary small egg shell bubbles cover the top. The jar shows no lacing. The jars fault I think. Light toffee reds like you'd expect, transparent candy apples.
S: Persimmon orange cranberry tea. Super soft and light. A very light fruity floral hop that smells soaked in tea juice. This has a very candy gummy like sweetness. Grape-nuts sit quietly in the background.
T: A very interestingly balanced brew, featuring the integration of toffees and nougat. The middle is truly dripping with candy flavors. Floral hops point you in the direction of the maple sugar candy store. Malt sweetness throughout, but not painfully sweet either.
M: Medium light body with a very mellowed carbonation. Very blanket like textures that sooth rather than cause friction. There's no spike in the feeling at any point. This does a good job of paralleling the experience of the flavor.
O: Quite good. Clean flavor with a strong parade of hard and soft candies. The sweetness is in check, and allusions to all types of candies are solid. A malty treat with flavor to spare. I'd take this as a good early-session offering. You'd never believe hard candies to be so drinkable.

Had on-tap at the brewery... out of a jar (I get it matches their image but maybe a headless jar pour isn't the best way to appreciate a well-crafted beer.. up to them, though).
A: Pours a translucent brownish red with little head (more due to the pour than the beer I think) but some decent lacing anyway.
S: Definitely hops! Reminiscent of the knuckle sandwich to me with its equal concentration on juicy fruits. Tangerine and orange stick out to me with some banana.
T: Starts with a nice and dispersed hop hit which dies off, leaving a small period of taste-pause then the fruits of the nose and malt kick in. The taste dies out and reveals remnants of hop bitterness.
M: Some hop heat concentrates itself in the top of the mouth and there's a tingle to the after feel of this beer. Body is medium-light.
O: This was really a good red. I've found myself greatly enjoying hoppy reds and this is a delicious one to be sure. I wish the hop flavor gave me more notes (hops seemed a little bland), though, or that they upped the fruits in the middle and mid-late flavor. Anyway, definitely worth trying this if you stop by the brewery. Check it out!

On-tap at Bootlegger's
This is the first batch of what will become a new production beer of theirs. They didn't have a catchy name for it yet, so at this point it's just "Red Ale".
A: The pour lives up to the expectations of the style. Amber in color with a finger of khaki colored head.
S: Starts off with a nice citrus hop note of grapefruit and tangerine. The hops quickly segue to the malt aromas of toast and bread. A mild toffee aroma and some red fruit flavors.
T: A similar story on the palate. Grapefruit and tangerine hops and just a subtle pine bitterness. Toasted bread, toffee, and a slight caramel sweetness. There are some red berry type flavors in there as well.
M: Medium in body and carbonation.
O: Looking to see what kind of tweaks that will be made to this beer as they continue to brew it.

There will definitely be an adjustment period, especially for some of the younger guys, but I feel like once our team gets together we'll be a tough team to beat. Our goal, as always, is to win another National Championship and I feel like we have a good opportunity to accomplish that feat if we are able to play up to our potential.

We're not going to look at this season like we are defending a National Championship. Other teams may look at it that way - that they have to knock down the reigning champs. We're going to look at it like we have to attack teams just as much as they're going to attack us. We're not sitting back and defending anything.

Archived:Overview of standard QWidget library on Symbian
Archived: This article is archived because it is not considered relevant for third-party developers creating commercial solutions today. If you think this article is still relevant, let us know by adding the template {{ReviewForRemovalFromArchive|user=~~~~|write your reason here}}.
Qt Quick should be used for all UI development on mobile devices. The approach described in this article (based on QWidget) is deprecated.
Qt provides a rich set of standard widgets that can be used to create graphical user interfaces for applications. Qt's widgets are flexible and can easily be sub classed to suit specialized requirements.
Widgets are visual elements that are combined to create user interfaces. Buttons, menus, scroll bars, message boxes, and application windows are all examples of widgets. Qt's widgets are not arbitrarily divided between "controls" and "containers"; all widgets can be used both as controls and as containers. Custom widgets can easily be created by sub classing existing Qt widgets, or created from scratch if necessary.
Standard widgets are provided by the QWidget class and its subclasses, and custom widgets can be created by sub classing them and reimplementing virtual functions.
A widget may contain any number of child widgets. Child widgets are shown within the parent widget's area. A widget with no parent is a top-level widget (a "window"), and usually has its own entry in the desktop environment's task bar. Qt imposes no arbitrary limitations on widgets. Any widget can be a top-level widget; any widget can be a child of any other widget. The position of child widgets within the parent's area can be set automatically using layout managers, or manually if preferred. When a parent widget is disabled, hidden, or deleted, the same action is recursively applied to all its child widgets.
Labels, message boxes, tooltips, and other textual widgets are not confined to using a single color, font, and language. Qt's text-rendering widgets can display multi-language rich text using a subset of HTML and most widgets can be styled using a description language.
Qt widgets used in various user interface components. The widgets were arranged using Qt Designer and rendered using the Plastique style, demonstrating Qt 4's standard look.
The widgets shown include standard input widgets like QLineEdit for one-line text entry, QCheckBox for enabling and disabling simple independent settings, QSpinBox and QSlider for specifying quantities, QRadioButton for enabling and disabling exclusive settings, and QComboBox, which opens to present a menu of choices when clicked. Clickable buttons are provided by QPushButton. Container widgets such as QTabWidget and QGroupBox are also shown. These widgets are managed specially in Qt Designer to allow designers to rapidly create new user interfaces while helping to keep them maintainable. More complex widgets such as QScrollArea, are often used more by developers than by user interface designers because they are often used to display specialized or dynamic content.
Why WIDGETS ?
Call them gadgets, mini-applications, or badges, but widgets are becoming more and more popular with both consumers and advertisers. They give users a way to interact with your brand and your content far beyond your web site. Keep reading to find out more about these useful bits of code, and why they may spawn a small revolution in the way we use the web.
The below graphical example shows us that how we can drag item and make QWidgets.
1.QPushButton Screen Shot
2. QSpinBox and QSlider
QSpinBox *spinBox = new QSpinBox; QSlider *slider = new QSlider(Qt::Horizontal);
3. QProgressBar
5. QToolBar and QToolButton
6.QDial and QSpinBox
