While neither Barcelona or Real Madrid lineup is particularly shocking for the second leg of the 2011 Spanish Supercup, they are at least interesting and give us some talking points. Xavi Hernandez and Gerard Pique are now both completely fit after starting the first leg on the bench and start for Barcelona tonight. The same cannot be said for Carles Puyol, and Javier Mascherano will start in central defense in his place. Up top, Pedro is preferred to Alexis Sanchez.
For Real Madrid, Marcelo has no place in Jose Mourinho's lineup at the Camp Nou. Three position newcomer Fabio Coentrao will start for him at left back. Many thought that Mourinho would switch to a 4-3-3, but he's stuck with his 4-2-3-1 formation.
FC Barcelona lineup (4-3-3): Valdés; Alves, Piqué, Mascherano, Abidal; Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta; Pedro, Villa, Messi
Real Madrid lineup (4-2-3-1): Casillas; Ramos, Pepe, Carvalho, Coentrão; Khedira, Alonso; Di María, Özil, Cristiano Ronaldo; Benzema
Also, Cesc Fabregas is fit and has made the bench for Barcelona tonight, and it would be a bit surprising if he wasn't given his debut at some stage. We'll be covering the match from start to finish right here in this StoryStream. For more on Real Madrid, check out Managing Madrid. For more on FC Barcelona, check out Barca Blaugranes.

That said, enabling efficient parallelization still has limitations today. Yet exciting conversations are happening around areas like shared memory and more efficient message-passing models. When those problems are solved, concurrency on the Web could make the Web platform a far more powerful stack.
Figure 1. Behind the scenes of RiverTrail
Here's a simple example of how we would increment the value of each element in a simple array, using the ParallelArray API:
We create our array:
var first = new ParallelArray(1,2,3,4);
We increment each element:
var inc_pa = first.map(function f(val) {return val+1;});
As you can see, the complexity of an OpenCL kernel is completely abstracted and a higher-level API is exposed, providing power and safety. To see RiverTrail in action, have a look at the particle simulation shown at IDF 2011, and the liquid image resizing demo first shown at Research @ Intel day 2011.

Chauncey arraignment set for District Court
A scheduled first appearance in Scotts Bluff County Court for a former Gering resident charged in the 2008 death of two year old Juliette Geurts was not held Monday, as the case has been filed directly to District Court. 26 year old Dustin Chauncey is charged with manslaughter and felony child abuse resulting in death. Chauncey's District Court arraignment will be this Thursday at 1:00 p.m.
Chauncey, the child's mother Charyse Geurts and another male were in the Gering home when Charyse reported she found Juliette dead in her crib on July 11th, 2008. The case has been investigated as a homicide after the autopsy showed the child died of blunt force trauma.
Geurts was charged with being an accessory to a felony and providing false information but the charges were dismissed earlier this month due to statute of limitations requirements. Chauncey has been in the Colorado corrections system after he was sentenced earlier this year to four years in prison on firearms and drug charges.

Earring posts too big.
The posts are too big around; to try them on I had to actually screw them into my earlobes which takes too much time, and hurts.
High Quality Earrings - for sure.
Excellent color, excellent cut, excellent clarity = amazing sparkle. The Premium Pt diamond earrings purchased from Blue Nile are very nice and just the right size. They are not too big, not too small. Just right! I had purchased the 1/3 ct diamond earrings and they seemed just as high quality, but seemed too small. This was a once in a lifetime purchase so I returned them for the 1/2 ct diamonds and am glad I did. They were a graduation gift and she loved them.
Beautiful earrings
Beautiful earrings with lots of sparkle. Perfect size for everyday wear. Love the screw backs. I don't ever have to worry about losing them.
I love the Quality for the prize
I didn't realize they were that small. I will have to exchange them for larger ones same quality, beauty and value.
They were beautiful but I had to return them because they were a bit to small for me.
I checked many stores and sites. Blue Nile is the best for value, full disclosure of product prior to purchase. I am happy with the 1/2 ct.tw. diamond earrings but I wish I would have purchased bigger ones.They glitter nicely so I recommend to buy 1 ct. tw if you want to show off or else 1/2 ct.tw is good for a daily wear. They arrived next morning I bought . Now I know where to buy jewelry with trust.
These earrings were nice but my wife already had a comparable set, and so I returned them. The return process was excellent, and my full refund has already been issued. Kudos on your return process.
My wife loved her new earrings
My wife loved them! The service is excellent and product (diamond earring) was stunning.
Top notch customer service
Beautiful. Perfect size for my wife when she put them on. She loved them. Outstanding customer service by Bluenile. Very professional. These earrings was my second purchase at Bluenile. (1st was engagement)
Perfect Gift
Earrings arrived very quickly and looked great. My girlfriend loves them. Perfect gift!
I love these earrings
I have been looking for a good quality pair of earrings for quite a while and I am pleased to say that I have finally found them at such a great price! The diamonds have a lot of sparkle (you can even see them sparkle when it's dark) and are perfect for wearing all of them time. I think the 1/2 carat size is just right (not too big and not too small) to wear with both casual and formal outfits.
My wife loves her earrings.
Your diamonds are spectacular. They are truly worth the money. My wife can not keep her eyes off her new diamond earrings. Thank you again.

Appearance Dark brown in color with an orangish hue. The head was a decent size and showed good retention.
Smell The roasted grain wasnt as bad as I thought it would be. Theres also a deep molasses aroma here that intrigues.
Taste The cheap grain is helped along by some big roasty flavors. The molasses comes out big at the tongue as well.
Mouthfeel This is hard to describe. On the one hand, the bitter, roasted flavors salivate the mouth and feel huge, whereas the beer itself is rather thin. Ill call her medium and leave it at that.
Drinkability I can find a lot better examples of the style, but if youre in a grocery store with a macro selection and want something dark . . . give this one a try.

Pours a mahogany brown color, slight ruby tint; good clarity for a beer this dark. Creamy, light-tan colored head, leaves surprisingly decent lacing along the glass. Aroma is somewhat faint and kind of weak, hard to pick up on, especially when it's cold. Some astringent metallic notes, toasted caramel malt, floral aromas, and not a whole lot else. The malt is certainly dominant, but the floral element is still obtainable. The taste is lacking a bit as well; slightly metallic at first, but it tends to mellow out over time. Toasted malts and grains, light caramel and toffee flavors which turn to a very slight floral bitterness across the palate. A little bit watered down; carbonation snaps on the tongue to bring out the hops a bit more, but they are still secondary to the Munich malts. The lager yeast is also very detectable on the tongue, especially near the latter half of the brew. Thin body, medium-high carbonation.
Pretty average brew. Not really sure how this one compares to the rest of the Beck's family since I haven't had any others. I'd take this over just about any BMC lager, but I'd still be looking for something else first.

Presentation: 12 oz green bottle with a gold foiled neck, "best before end" freshness date on the back label.
Appearance: Big frothy chunky cream coloured head sticks sporadically, deep brown hue holing a sublime clearness that possibly shows strong filtering.
Smell: Big malty, bread aroma. Spicy smell feigns rye with cracker maltiness and hop in the nose. Clean to the nose.
Taste: Nice crispness that is structured well with the medium carbonation and full graininess. Maltiness bring a handful of sweetness but more grassiness of the grain, more graininess piles on to bring in a slow astringency. Odd mild toasted malt comes forth off the astringent flavour. Hops get mixed around, yet don't get in the way. Palate goes thin and husky tearing away at the want to drink this brew.
Notes: Sadly this brew turns into something that may have been good to something that is a tad hard to drink. There are better dark lagers in the world that will beat this one time and time again.

Been a couple years since I had one of these. Pours a very dark brown, very small head is quickly gone. Very little lacing. Not much to the nose. Medium body that seems a little watery. Faint taste of chocolate and malt, with a slight hop finish. Drinkability is helped by the watered down sensation. Maybe that's to be expected for this style, but I liked these much better a few years ago. Not a bad dark lager by any means, just not what I'm looking for.

12 ounce bottle, best before dating. Pours dark brown, mollasas in color, off white head, some lacing. Malty nose with some chocolate. Soft chocolate notes on a malty backbone. Some hops come in late to balance the sweetness. Medium body. Fairly dull brew. Better then the skunky lighter version. Better then most macros in a pinch.

Opened 12 Fluid Ounce Bottle (BB Date 11/08), poured into Nonic glass.
Pours no head atop a cola dark opaque brew. Some lace across top of glass.
Smells a tad bit skunky at first with some dark malts. Taste follows nose with slightly skunky, corn taste. Some maltyness and bread taste. Bubbles are present and a tad bit harsh. Not a bad beer, but not what I would look for normally. Finish is OK, but nothing to look forward to. Drinkable, but must be ice cold.

I had this at Fellingham's in Southampton, N.Y. I drank it in a wine glass. (They had no beer glasses!)
Pours a clear and very deep garnet with brown tints. A one finger head of tan bubbles forms, then quickly dies. No lacing was observed on the glass.
Aroma is DMS, brown sugar, faint pils malt, very faint spicy hops if you work, and some off smell I can't identify.
First flavor is watery brown sugar and caramel, DMS or some other sulphur compound, and a back of the throat astringency. Gentle hop bitterness and a slight spicy hop flavor, with a short and bitter aftertaste. Not terrible, but not great, either.
Mouthfeel is thin and watery with a mouth-puckering astringency. Carbonation is fizzy.
I drank this because it was the best one or two choices in the place, and is the only reason I would drink it again. It's not a horrible beer, but it's definitely made for a newly adventurous American beer drinker.

On my previous encounters, I had thought (as others had) that this tasted like regular Beck's, only dark. But this tasting was a little more than that. The color was dark ruby with a short-lasting thin head. The smell was of sweet malt. The flavor was much more flavorful than the aroma let on. The roasted malt was pleasing, but not complex enough to consider great. There was good carbonation, but it was a little thin. I would rate this beer as highly drinkable however...it had decent flavor and was light to drink. Refreshing.

12oz. green bottle pulled from the fridge poured into a standard pint glass. best before 08.2011.
pours out a clear brownish color, ruby red in the light. fizzy light tan head that faded to a thin ring pretty quick. no lace.
aromas of toasted grains, mineral water, a bit of fruits, lager yeast, and floral herbal tea hops.
sweet toasty grains, a touch nutty. lager yeast funk. mineral water. herbal tea hops, with a bit of bitterness. decent balance.
smooth mouthfeel, light to medium body. a bit over carbed, a little fizzy at first.
drinkable for sure, easy to session, but i would pick so many more beers over this for the price. i prolly wont buy this again.

Pours out dark with some hints of deep red. A nice thick almond colored head appeared, but quickly reduced to a thin lace. The smell was difficult for me to place, but seemed to be a little fruity or citrus. Nothing really stood out there. The taste is pleasing, but not as full as I would expect from such a dark beer. It has malty characteristics and a nice hop flavor, but not as expressive as I would like. It finishes with a hint of hop bitterness, but not as strongly as I would expect. The mouthfeel is decent...but not wonderful. I drink this beer occasionally to shake things up. Nothing to drive miles and miles to find, but a worthy offering if you like darker beers. I suppose this is a beer that was almost great...but came up just a little short in most areas.

Pours brown with tan head. As others have said, the head falls quickly. Aroma has some malt, faint floral hops and some faint roasted smell. Flavor is malty with little hop bitterness. Some roasted flavor there too. Mouthfeel is thin. This isn't bad, its drinkable but it has too little flavor and its too watery. That said, its better than any BMC type beer.

Dark burnt umber color, clear...good 1/2 inch head early, clears in a minute. Aroma has a little bit of spice to the malty sweetness. Not bad nutty and toasty flavor. Munich-like. Lighter-bodied and a little paste-like early, malt impression carries to the end. Finish is similar to the start, with a little drying hop and a grainy quality. No skunk. OK beer, pretty average and theres so much more to explore in the world of beerdom than this one.

Appearance: Dark caramel brown with a decently frothy tan head impressed by the length of the retention, lacing still lies rather thin specks. Aroma: European hopping dosage with cooked veggies and darker roasts bringing slight caramel notes not bad. Taste: Much better than I recall Beck's ever tasting, with slight sweet mild chocolate notes and a hoppy cooked veggie finish not bad refreshing and flavorful not bad. Mouthfeel: A bit thin but it's not horrible light to medium bodied nowhere near as watery as a typical American macro. Drinkability: I could definitely buy a sixer of this to watch a football game with has some flavor and character therefore not bad in my book.

Small to medium light tan head quickly falls into a pretty decent lacing above a clear reddish amber colored beer.
Initial skunky aroma is quickly replaced my a light roasted caramel to toffee malts.
Light roasted to almost burnt caramel/toffee taste, there is a slight bitterness within the taste, might be some hops sneaking in although I really can't taste it.
There is a little bit of the light caramel that stick around on this dryish aftertaste. A medium bodied beer that holds a pretty decent but lighter side tastes.
After drinking a regular Beck's this is quite a step up, but I guess making a average beer is way better than making a crap one.

ManUtd.com's Mark Froggatt reported live from the Etihad Stadium...
18:48 Notably, Moyes was also full of praise for Wayne Rooney's performance: "I have to say I thought Wayne Rooney was arguably the best player on the pitch today. He certainly didn't deserve to play on the losing team - that's for sure. He was outstanding today and that's probably as good a Wayne Rooney as I've seen. But going back to Robin, he's a big miss for us."
18:46 The manager went on to shed light on the groin injury that ruled Robin van Persie out of action at the Etihad: "I don't think it's that bad, we thought he was going to make it. He just felt something in his groin, he did a bit of training in the last couple of days, but he just felt it when he did any sharp movements and he didn't want to aggravate it, so we took that decision."
18:44 David Moyes has just appeared in front of the media and after such a disappointing defeat, the boss cut a frustrated figure – though he calm about its impact on the season: "I'm disappointed that we didn't perform," he explained. "We played very well in midweek so there was no reason for us not to perform well today. But it's one game, there are plenty more to come. There is plenty of time for us to try and fix it."
18:16 City manager Manuel Pelligrini is currently speaking to the press and, understandably, the Spaniard is pleased with his team's performance this afternoon. "It was a very important result, normally you don't expect to win 4-1 against Manchester United," he explained.

On the Maplewood trail where 16-year-old Anna Hurd was murdered on Feb. 23, family and friends gathered to pray shortly after her killer, boyfriend Anthony Mitchell, was sentenced.
Mitchell will turn 18 next month and was sentenced to 22 years in prison on Tuesday, but with good behavior he could be out in 14. At that point, he'll barely be 32 years old.
Neither Mitchell nor his family spoke during the sentencing, but Hurd's family continues to be haunted by his repeated lies in the days before his arrest.
Anthony Mitchell was certified as an adult last month and admitted to stabbing Hurd five times while they were on the trail back in February – he was upset she wouldn't speak to him, and also upset she was moving to Texas to live with her mother without him.
Reports from the medical examiner show one of the stab wounds went into Anna's heart, and she bled to death. Those and other details make family grateful they are not going to trial.
"We picked up the 600-page police report today and I got to page three and I threw up," Anna Hurd's mother Jennifer Hutchings said.
To say family hoped for more prison time is an understatement."I just wish they had the death penalty in Minnesota, because what he did to her was overkill and she suffered so much," Hutchings said.
Friends are still trying to wrap their heads around the entire situation.
"He's going to be in jail less time than she was alive, and he even admitted to it," friend Jess Lacasse said."I think all of us are just hurting so much, and so mad and just so confused because Anthony was our friend, too," friend Alea Marose said.

Toronto FC was one of the worst defenses in 2011. On Monday, they made another move toward improving that situation, signing Chilean defender Miguel Aceval. The 29-year-old left back/center back most recently played in the Chilean first division with Universidad de Concepcion, scoring five goals in 30 matches. He made his national team debut on Sept. 4, going 90 minutes against Mexico.
"Miguel is an experienced defender that has a lot of potential and can be very important for our club," Toronto FC Head Coach & Technical Director Aron Winter said in a team release. "Our defence needed to be addressed during the offseason and this signing complements our recent activity from last week."
Aceval would seem capable of helping Toronto FC at either center back or left back and could prove a significant upgrade over either Andy Iro or Danleigh Borman.
For more on the signing, be sure to check out Toronto FC blog Waking the Red.

Somehow, she took what was a perfectly lovely red dress when Kate Winslet wore it years ago and made it terrible: The color is nauseating, the beading looks cheap, and the bottom is just incredibly unflattering - she's all hip-y and wide. Add the (I think) shiney hose and the ugly shoe, and it's just a hot mess.

She is so into this ghetto fabulous look that she can't move away from it. This dress does nothing for her AT ALL, I think the reason she chose it is because it shows some skin...well leg...I hate this dress, there is nothing appealing about it whatsoever.
ashleycakes 7 years
This looks like every other dress she always wears. Plus, the leg slit is a little high for an event like this. The color is awful on her. _________________________ Cheese It!!

I don't like this dress on Beyonce, but I'm just really REALLY glad she's not doing that "Here are my armpits" pose. That has to be a plus, right?

Def not flattering, but her hair and makeup look better than usual.
sofico 7 years
my bad....long hair can look elegant in the red carpet, but I still beyonce should try something new
sofico 7 years
this dress made her body shapeless....and she needs to pull her back...and try a new style!!!! please...I am tyred of seeing the same look!!! she should try either a ponytail or a new haircut but keeping the long of her hair... or whatever..but the long hair is boring...and is not that elegant for the Oscars unless you have a haircut

Her hair and make-up are perfect. The dress is just not doing ot for me.

Her hair looks very sleek, but the dress is a mistake. Too much leg, satin, and jewels. Looks like a costume, not an Oscar dress...
lemuse20 7 years
That's a dress for showing off some leg and errmm, no. Those shoes are too disco for that dress. The make up is good though, but I don't think credit could go to her for that.
poty 7 years
It doesn't looks like a great dress for the Oscars
SweetB10 7 years
Dress is kind of boring, hair and makeup are nice! Also, thank god there weren't any armpit shots!
rani85 7 years
Maybe if someone else was wearing that dress it wouldn't be so horrible! (ok, maybe not) I think beyonce always looks the same in the red carpet, in a kinda trashy old fashined cabaret way and it soooo boring!! Maybe she will look much better if she hires another personal dresser ( i'm maybe that won't happen cause she listen fashion advices from her mother!)

Doug Kimmel with Scout.com and their Utes blog Inside the Utes sent me the write up below giving his impressions of Star Lotulelei and the impact he predicts he will have on the Panthers defense and NFL in general. Doug is not only a long-time Utes fan who attends every game but he is also a Panther fan who knows our team as much as any of us. So here is his take broken up a little where I decided to insert some of my own comments.
The Star of the Draft
by Doug Kimmel with www.InsideTheUtes.com
No offense to Eric Fisher, Luke Joeckel, or Chance Warmack, but I am confident that the best player in the 2013 NFL draft was Star Lotulelei. I believe Fisher, Joeckel, and Warmack will all enjoy long careers littered with trips to Hawaii (assuming that exist in five years) and will be foundations to their respective organizations for years to come. Yet, the impact that Star will bring to Carolina is unparalleled by any other player in the draft!
If I was Luke Kuechly, Big Beast, or Thomas Davis I would just be coming down from my natural high the #14 pick of the 2013 draft brought to me. Hell, Star won't be blowing blockers for me for the foreseeable future and I am just beginning to come down! Carolina might not know what they have yet, but after covering Star and the Utah Utes for Fox Sports/Scout.com for the past year, I believe they have the next great thing!
I think I'm still riding that 'high' that will soon turn to thanks for all the pundits that helped Star slide to us.
I watched Star's stock take a hit when he had the heart scare at the combine, to which I totally understand, but what I didn't understand is the critics that began to emerge when Star was momentarily down and out. I began hearing analyst say things like "even if Star didn't have the heart condition, I still don't believe he is worth a top pick, his motor is suspect..." Suspect!? I went to every Utah game this year, and I saw Star taking on 2-3 blockers on every single play. Number 92 players 92% of the plays this year, and never once did he take a play off.
More came from the woodwork during this time to point out Star's "inconsistent play" during the 2012 season... like I said, I went to every Utes game this year, and Star was about the one consistency the Utes had! Game in game out Star gobbled up his double and triple teams, and was able to come away with five sacks and 11 TFLs. Star was consistent enough to make it to six All-American teams and built on his 2011 campaign where he won the Morris Trophy (awarded to the Pac-12's best defensive lineman by vote of the league's starting offensive linemen). In 2011, Star was a dominant space-eater, in 2012 Star built upon that by becoming a dynamic playmaker, adding to his repertoire.
I also came across some early profiles that said Lotulelei was a tireless worker who never came off the field so I wondered what had happened for some many to recently claim he was inconsistent. I mean, if a guys job is to take on multiple blockers play after play and he still puts up the stats Star did then how does that reconcile with 'inconsistent'? It doesn't.
I cannot think of a weakness in Star's game... I have heard national pundits say he isn't a skilled pass rusher; once again this is not this case. Why didn't Star Lotulelei ever manufacture sacks like Warren Sapp did over his 13 year career? I highly doubt it, BUT I could see Star racking up 5+ sacks or more a year. The guy certainly doesn't need to come off the field on 3rd downs.
Though I expect him to rotate it is nice to know he is conditioned enough to not come off the field on 3rd down. We need his ability to collapse the pocket from the middle of the line.
Scheming for the Carolina Panthers front 4 went from a challenging to damn near impossible! Both Charles Johnson and the Kraken already demand extra attention, throw in Star into the mix and there is no winning for the opposition. At the very least, Carolina will have three guys who are worthy of double-teaming, and then a solid vet player in Dwan Edwards, a potential homerun in Kawann Short, and Frank Alexander who I believe could be the best third defensive end in football after 2013! I am sure Drew Brees and Matt Ryan are sleeping easy now, but come when the Fall rolls around... I wouldn't want to be them despite their hundred millions!
Doug might sound like he's being rhetorical here but money cannot replace your spleen after it gets crushed by the Panther front four!
Star Lotulelei will end up the most valuable pick in the 2013 draft. He may not have the sex appeal that ESPN is looking for, but Carolina Panthers have never really had that, nor do they want it. I have no doubt in my mind that his worth will exceed Dion Jordan, Ziggy Ansah, and Barkevious Mingo, all of which have a high potential to be busts. With Star, I have seen a lot of comparisons to Kevin Williams and Ndamukong Suh and I can totally see it. I personally believe Star is a blend of Casey Hampton and Haloti Ngata- Star has the ability to eat blockers and take up space as well as Casey Hampton, but he also has the explosiveness to destroy a play in the backfield like Ngata does for the Ravens.
So teams will need to double him very play or risk a bull rush to the backfield! Have no mercy Mr. McDermott, bring him every play!
David Gettleman has been preaching "big hog mollies" since arriving in Carolina, Thursday night, he landed THE hog of all hogmollies. The entire Carolina defense should be eager for the 2013 season, their lives just got a lot easier. Star will never create the attention like Cam, he will never display the fire of the Kraken, and he will never rack up the stats like Kuechly... but come 2015, I truly believe Star Lotulelei will be the most valuable player on the Carolina Panthers.
With a hellish 2013 schedule, a secondary that is suspect, and a 23-41 record since 2009 the Panthers are on very few radars... Star will change that faster than you can say "lo-too-leh-lay!"
'The Star of Hogmollies!' might just be the most overplayed phrase of the past week or so but I'm not tired of it just yet. I'm hoping every team the Panthers play leaves wondering what hogmollie truck they just got run over with!
A big CSR thanks to Doug Kimmel for sharing his thoughts on the Panthers lucky star selection at #14!
Keep Pounding!

you guys know that "Twitchy" isn't a real person, right? RT @colbyhall: @AndrewKirell: perhaps it's time to start ignoring Twitchy?—
Tommy Christopher (@tommyxtopher) December 21, 2012
Self-proclaimed "objective" journalist Mika Brzezinski had the vapors today after GOP Rep. Tim Huelskamp appeared on "Morning Joe." Twitchy — where we do our best to hold the media accountable for what they put forth — reported on Brzezinski's decidedly un-objective conduct. And, well, that didn't sit well with "real reporters" at Mediaite:
Does Twitchy REALLY think Mika is considered an "objective" journalist and that she's not a known liberal? twitchy.com/2012/12/21/mik…—
Andrew Kirell (@AndrewKirell) December 21, 2012
No, Andrew. We don't think so. At all. But you know who does? Mika Brzezinski.
"What I think people like is that while we both come from different ideological standpoints, our objective is to be objective."
@colbyhall I know. They just infuriate me because there's a lot of potential in Twitter aggregation. And instead it's just OUTRAGE 24/7—
Andrew Kirell (@AndrewKirell) December 21, 2012
Clearly an avid Twitchy reader. We certainly never have any fun around here.
Mediaite founding editor Colby Hall and our old pal Tommy Christopher rounded out the intellectual jam session:
@tommyxtopher um…yeah?—
(@colbyhall) December 21, 2012
@tommyxtopher there are a lot of things on the Internet that are better left ignored.—
(@colbyhall) December 21, 2012
Anyone have a mirror?
@colbyhall Sure, but the Twitchy "team" provides valuable data on the random chimp theory. It's not Hamlet,but there are only 3 or 4 of them—
Tommy Christopher (@tommyxtopher) December 21, 2012
Actually, Tommy, there are nine of us chimps in the Twitchy tree. But unlike you, we don't spend our days flinging poo.
@tommyxtopher it was the blurst of times—
(@colbyhall) December 21, 2012
That'd be Dickens, actually, if we're gonna get nitpicky. Not Shakespeare. But we digress.
@colbyhall @AndrewKirell if you let the Twitchy team type long enough, eventually, they'll produce the Twilight series.—
Tommy Christopher (@tommyxtopher) December 21, 2012
Nyuk nyuk nyuk! Quick! Someone find a waiter for us to tip.
It's generally easier to ignore stupidity, but where's the fun in that? Twitchy's fearless leader Michelle Malkin kindly stepped in to inject a little truth:
.@AndrewKirell @colbyhall The @TwitchyTeam covers a wide array of Twitter stories & you won't stop readin because we know you use our work.—
Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) December 21, 2012
.@AndrewKirell @colbyhall And we know Mediaite has used @TwitchyTeam material that has resulted in traffic boosts. You're welcome.—
Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) December 21, 2012
@AndrewKirell @colbyhall @TwitchyTeam You said our site is "OUTRAGE 24/7." If you read it regularly, you know that's not true.—
Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) December 21, 2012
.@AndrewKirell @colbyhall @TwitchyTeam In any case, WE'RE angered by lib media's selective outrage. WE are counterbalancing.—
Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) December 21, 2012
Exactly. Mediaite might not care to fully cover the media, but we do.
A parting thought from one of our resident chimpanzees:
@tommyxtopher @colbyhall @AndrewKirell Well Tommy isnt a real reporter so makes us even.—
William Amos (@WilliamAmos) December 21, 2012

My Ghoul Friday
Check back often!
Recent Moans from the Minions...
I've come across a couple of interesting ideas for serving watermelon at your next bone-bash. The first, a watermelon brain, comes from two sources and seems pretty straight forward.
You can try following scoochmaroo's detailed instructions (her melon brain is pictured right), or Disney's version.
Feeling a bit more brave and artistic? I got a good chuckle when I saw this idea of having the dead rising out of the grave (or melon, as the case may be).
I've tried to find the original source for this idea. I always feel a bit unclean when I post an image or idea without giving credit. Unfortunately, Kim's Halloween Recipes page where I found this image simply label it 'online idea' without a reference. If anyone knows who came up with this little beauty, I'd love to know.
Kris Kuksi is a genius. I can get lost in the tiny details of his sculptures. Whenever I view his work online, I end up leaning forward in my chair, nose close to the glass of my monitor, but I can never see it as clear as I'd like to.
Each piece is like two works of art in one: you have the wide view, like a dark landscape; and then you have all the tiny characters within it.
Luckily, it seems he is coming to the Meta Gallery in Toronto from May 15th to June 14th, 2009, so I will finally be able to see those micro-beauties clearly.
For those of you who aren't going to check out his show in person, you can view his sculptures online. He has a handy (yet finicky) flash application that allows you to zoom in fairly tight on the images.
He has an interesting bio posted on his site, not unlike many stories we've heard before. But there were specific quotes that resonated with me:
A quick post for this snowy Tuesday.
I'd stumbled across Devon Devereaux's work months ago (maybe even as far back as 2007). It's been sitting in my "stuff I have to blog about" folder ever since, sad and neglected.
This image is part of his Perihelion Show, a collection of sketches starring cartoon creatures of the night, many of which have an on-the-road theme.
I picked this picture as my favourite simply because of the small character depicting Mary Poppins.
I always knew there was something fishy about her.
I thought I would share a few videos with you to help fight off the Monday blahs.
First it's the Happy Tree Friends in "Remains to Be Seen". In this episode, the furry creatures deal with the disaster of zombies.
I think my favourite moment is when the manual lawn mower comes out.
You can see more episodes (including some with a Halloween theme) on the official website.
The second flick (below) is a music video brought to my attention by Eve Noir who thought I might like it. And I will admit, it has grown on me.
It's been a cold Saturday spent working on props.
Marmota Monax is coming along slowly. Though I don't plan on having his body be visible, he's gotten a sloppy clay covering over his torso. I've been experimenting with a new clay recipe and thought this was a safe opportunity to test it.
When you start a business, it's important to know your target audience and the positioning of the product you're selling (a basic decision of who it's for, what it does, and how to appeal to your target group). With this in mind, I think the folks over at Casket Furniture need to work on their selling angle. Or at the very least, reorganize their website. I get the feeling they didn't want to miss out on either crowd - people mourning a loss and people who look at coffins as entertainment.
For example, the second menu item on their website after 'Casket Furniture' is 'Casket Gaming' where you can find items like this Coffin Poker Table.
Are you now in a fun and fancy free mood? Totally on board with how coffins aren't just for funerals? Goooood! Because the third menu item is 'Casket Plans' where we switch gears from fun and games. Suddenly the messages take on a sombre tone to discuss how hard it is to lose a loved one, and the products aren't for fun, but for eternal peace.
Recently I posted a bone scan of myself I'd had taken a while ago. I'd remembered I had it because I was getting x-rays done. Turns out the x-rays were useless to the doctor, but they're a welcome addition to my growing collection (nice profile, don't you think?).
It's all rather fitting, since there's been a blogging frenzy this week covering an x-ray lamp made by Sture Pallarp (shown right), and I'm thinking of making my own sometime.
While I've seen 'how-to's online that get people to attach their x-rays to existing paper lampshades, I think I'll pick up a plastic shade made for DIY stained glass projects.
I'm sure most of us can remember a time in childhood when our parents nudged us out the door to play, even though something - be it the local bully or the crazy neighbour's dog that's always loose - was waiting for us. I can remember many a battle taking place at the local park. Though I will admit, I never had to fight zombies (not real ones, anyway).
This corner snapshot from Jason Chan's "Zombie Playground" sums up a metaphor of what it was like to battle those foes way back when.
Gives a whole new spin on "King of the Castle", doesn't it?
Ray Villafane is a professional artist and sculptor. He's done work for Sideshow Collectibles, Reflex Publications, DC Direct, McFarlane Toys, and Bowen Designs.
Apparently in his spare time, he'll carve a pumpkin or two.
I found these on a flickr account after reading a post by Ray's brother who was bragging (justly) about Ray's talent as a pumpkin carver. I did a little google detective work and found Ray's website.
To see all of the pumpkins and a 'how to' (ha ha ha...right), check out Ray's pumpkin page on his website.
While there are many things to legitimately fear in the world, I find that human beings have a tendency to heighten these fears to the point where we lose scope of what we should actually be afraid of; what the original source of fear was, and how to act in order to protect ourselves. If you lose sight of what the original source was, then any action you take to prevent it from happening again is fairly useless.
I just read a news story from last October about a town in Pennsylvania who, after 16 years, lifted a ban on trick or treating after dark. The ban was put in place in October of 1992, after an 11-year-old girl, Shauna Howe, was abducted and murdered by two men.
Death is tragic. Murder of children is devastating. The people who commit these acts are the source of fear, and have nothing to do with a holiday.
I decided to do a bit of digging on the original story, and what I found illustrates my point of displacing fear.
The girl wasn't taken on Halloween. She was actually attacked on October 27th, while walking home from a girl scout Halloween party. On her own.
My self-published book is still available!

If you are involved in caring for someone whose welfare may be at risk if you fall ill, you may also be entitled to a free NHS flu vaccination. This includes:
- Front-line healthcare workers
- Residents of nursing or residential homes
- People who are in receipt of a carer's allowance
- Those who are the main carer for an elderly or disabled person
Are there any side effects connected with a flu vaccination?
Most of the side effects are not serious and should disappear on their own in a day or two. The most common* side effects include:
- Fever
- Feeling unwell
- Shivering
- Headache
- Sweating
- Muscle and joint pain
- Skin reactions such as redness, pain, bruising and hardening of the skin at the injection site
*Common is defined as greater than or equal to 1 in 100 and less than 1 in 10.
Rare reactions include:
- Nerve pain and inflammation
- Numbness
- Tingling
- Fits
- Thromboctyopaenia (a blood disorder)
- Vasculitis (inflammation of the blood vessels)
- Rare nerve disorders
- On rare occasions anaphylaxis may occur (we have procedures in place to deal with this)
You should get medical advice if you experience any of these reactions.
Will I develop flu from the vaccination?
No, you will not contract flu from the vaccination.
Can I still catch flu after having the vaccination?
Being vaccinated is likely to provide effective protection against the virus responsible for causing most cases of flu. However there is still a small chance that you will catch seasonal flu. After the vaccination it takes between 10-21 days for it to become fully effective against these viruses so it is sensible to organise your vaccination as early as possible.
Do I need to tell my doctor if am coming to Boots for a flu vaccination?
We recommend that you tell your doctor you have been vaccinated so that your medical records can be updated.
What is influenza (flu)?
Flu is caused by different strains of influenza viruses, which are passed around by coughing and sneezing and through hand contact. Your best protection against flu is hand washing. Regularly washing your hands with hot water and soap will help to get rid of potentially harmful germs that lead to flu. Each year a different strain of the virus can cause a new outbreak of flu and this is sometimes called seasonal flu.
What are the symptoms of flu?
Although everyone can experience different symptoms of flu, the most common ones are:
- High temperature (fever)
- Muscle aches
- Coughing
- Sneezing
- Headaches
- Extreme tiredness
- Sore throat
- Catarrh, feeling blocked up
How long does flu last?
The main symptoms of flu normally peak after two or three days and within five to eight days you should feel a lot better. Sometimes symptoms like catarrh may last a little longer. The symptoms and the length of time they last will vary from person to person. They tend to be more severe in the very young and the elderly and other vulnerable groups who should take individual advice if they develop flu.
What is swine flu?
Swine flu is caused by a particular strain of influenza, a virus which is called influenza A (H1N1v).
What's the difference between a cold and the flu?
It's often difficult to know whether you have flu or a cold but here are some tips for understanding the differences:
- The symptoms of flu tend to come on very quickly, much more so than a common cold.
- You are far more likely to run a fever with flu than with a cold. This can be 38°C/100°F or higher.
- With flu you are more likely to feel extremely tired and ache all over. The tiredness will last a lot longer than with a cold.

A new poll indicates that Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal's approval ratings remain strong. A survey taken January 20 of 460 registered voters in Georgia shows Governor Nathan Deal with a strong approval rating of his job performance by voters. Asked "What is your opinion of the job performance of Governor Nathan Deal," the weighted results were:
Approve: 55%Disapprove: 29%Undecided/No opinion: 16%The survey has a margin of error of +/- 4.6%InsiderAdvantage/FOX 5 political analyst Matt Towery said the poll results weren't surprising.Towery said that the results suggest that Deal would be a strong candidate if he chooses to run for a second term next year.
"At this point I would say that Gov. Deal is about as popular as a governor in this region of the nation can get. We used to require approval of 50 percent to say a governor was in good shape for reelection, but that bar moved several years ago to around 45 percent, so Gov. Deal is sitting pretty as of now," Towery said.
Firefighters are calling a man a hero after he helped save a family from a burning home in DeKalb County.

Poured from the tap a hazy lighter yellow with some peach colored hue a thin quick to fade head atop.Toasted wheat clove and some bannana reminisentmore of a Bavarian style sheat than a Belgian white in my mind.Pretty standard wheat flavors somewhat clovey and toasty with a faint hint of citrus in the back end.Decent and basic beer, my wife would enjoy this, me well I thought it was ok.

I find this beer a little lacking and one dimensional. Appearance is fine at a yellow gold with a large white head. The nose is lemony and herbal. Coriander and orange peals are quite present. Taste follows the aromas with the addition of a strong yeastiness and a bit of ginger and cloves. All the ingredients are there but this beer just doesnt scream, Im a fun and cheerful wit to me like I like my wit beers to. Its really almost hefe like and not very wintery to boot.

Pours a faint yellow-amber color, cloudy and almost completely opaque. The first thing you notice on the nose is a hefty helping of wheat and yeast, certainly making a lot of sense for a witbier. This is appropriately followed up by a handful of kitchen spices; clove, coriander, and some light citrus and orange zest. The taste plays a little heavier on the spice side at first, transitioning to the citrus and fruit-like undertones more towards its second half. The spice isn't overpowering by any means, it's actually quite refreshing. When the citrus makes its appearance, it provides a great balance and certainly boosts the drinkability by a large margin. The hops come along and add a perfect amount of bitterness, helping with the balance of the malt and wheat sweetness combo. Yeast, as expected, is noticeable at nearly all times, but plays more of a background supporting role. Medium body, medium-high amount of carbonation.
Overall, a very good witbier. Packed with a nice array of flavors thanks to a decent contribution from malt, wheat, yeast, and hops all at once. Nice amount of spice, balanced by a subtle wheat sweetness and a blend of citrus and hops. Not bad at all.

Poured a 12 oz. bottle into a pint glass.
A: Sort of a pale straw yellow color, slightly hazy. No discernible head but a nice thing ring of white bubbles clung to the sides of the glass. No lacing to speak of.
S: Pale malt and spice, perhaps coriander or something else.
T: The lightness of the wheat comes through quickly on this, though there isn't much in the way of malty sweetness. The hops provide nice balance and play well with the spices that are present in the background. A relatively quick finish and slight bitterness in the linger.
M&D: Light & crisp. Mostly smooth drinkability. The carbonation was medium to light and matched very well with the style. Overall a very nice beer and refreshing for a winter ale.

Pours a cloudy bright yellow/orange with a small head that rolls down to a ring around the glass. Spotty lacing lies in its wake. Nice big yeasty wheat nose with notes of cloves and coriander. Big and inticing!
First sip brings a nice citric, yeasty wheat maltiness nuanced by spicy cloves, coriander, pepper and a bit of banana as well. Tasty and well balanced...this is a fine wit right here.
Mouthfeel is good with just enough body to roll over the palate smoothly..good carbonation. Drinkability here is very nice...easily sessionable. I personally think this would be better as a summer seasonal. As a side note...the label picture is beautiful..kudos to Bell's on another tasty brew.

Pours a cloudy light gold with mild white head. Belgian yeast smell is characteristic, with pale malts contributing to the mellow and light flavor (barley and wheat). Malt taste, with very slight notes of citrus/coriander. Medium body, crisp carbonation. A nice light and drinkable winter beer, especially if you aren't big on spice.

A - Pours a cloudy straw color with two fingers of quickly dissipating head.
S - Aromas of coriander and a small amount of citrus.
T - Tastes of wheat, some faint citrus hops and spices, mostly coriander. Flavors balance well. They aren't too exciting, but not bad.
M - Pretty light mouthfeel, but I guess appropriate for the style.
O - A pretty easy drinking, if not particularly interesting, wheat.

12 oz. bottle poured into a New Belgium snifter. Enjoyed a couple of these on draft this evening and came home to find a bottle in the fridge waiting for review.
A - One-finger head of white, big bubble foam that dissipates rather quickly, leaving a thin lace across the surface. Lemon yellow in color and opaque. Cloudy when held to a light.
S - Clove/banana with a citrus and pine hop background. Almost bubblegum in the nose.
T - Very much like the nose. Banana really jumps to the front, showing off the fruit. Hints of cinnamon and nutmeg in the finish. Subtle spicing makes the finish, not the hops, although I'm editing my review to note that Bell's website says they don't use any spices in this brew.
M - Fizzy. Pronounced carbonation. Good body and structure. Finish lingers longer than the lightness of the beer indicates.
D - A different twist on a winter beer. It's very much in the hefeweizen style but doesn't have the crispness in the finish you'd want in the summer. Very tasty. Could easily drink several of these in a session.

3.73/5 rDev +2.8%
A - It is as it says: white, or really a light straw color. It pours with a small head that disappears fairly quickly.
S - Very citrusy and yeasty, fruity, a hint of banana
T - It looks like a witbier. It tastes like one too, but with a more aggressive and persistent flavor. Lots of citrus and yeast spice across the palate. The follow is lemony and sweet at the same time.
M - Full bodied and refreshing, estery.
D - A most drinkable beer, even more so than the Bell's Christmas
I've seen some critiques of this beer that ding it for being atypical with respect to winter styles. I don't recall seeing a rule that a white ale could not be a winter beer. This kind of innovation in the winter line is very welcome. Sort of an, um, winter welcome.

Thanks to Gaisgeil for this one of many...
I needed to do something to shake this hot ass weather we've had here in the Northeast, so a Winter brew it is....
Pours a very pale yellow w/ half a finger of white head...doesn't stick around along, but a thin layer hangs on. Lacing is thin and has very little cling.
Aromas are faint...mostly sweet malt with a hint of citrus notes...not much spice but other flavors I just can't pinpoint...my inexperienced pallet to the style...damn you.
Taste is enjoyable and instantly cools me off...I can feel the chill in my face...just what the doctor ordered.
A real clean finish...no bitterness and perfect carbonation.
Mouthfeel is thin, yet average for the style.
Witbiers are not my first choice, but I'd gladly enjoy a few of these on a day like this...in the Winter, I'd rather reach for something that warms the belly and this is not that beer.

Serving glass: Poured from bottle into tall glass.
Appearance: Very cloudy dark yellow with vanishing bubbly head, leaving a flat juice look.
Smell: Banana, clove, coriander, citrus and light wheat malts.
Taste: Traditional Hefeweizen flavors of banana and clove battle light coriander, orange and lemon. There is some light wheat flavor in the background, but the yeast and spice reigns supreme. Maybe some light noble hops on the finish.
Feel: Moderate carbonation, light to medium body with a semi-dry finish.
Drinkability: Refreshing blend of Hefeweizen and Witbier. I have read this beer uses a blend of both yeast strains, and that really comes forth. I guess this has to be classified as a Witbier since that style is a little more loosey-goosey with the rules than the Germans are. Strange that it's a winter seasonal, and it may look like terrible, but it is a tasty brew.

Gallup points to 70 plus blowout for now
by Jerome Armstrong, Tue Oct 19, 2010 at 01:05:53 PM EDT
Shorter Nate Sliver: Between 20 to 80 seats!
A gain of as large as 70-80 seats is not completely out of the question if everything broke right for Republicans. Conversely, if Democrats managed to see a material rebound in their national standing over the final two weeks of the campaign, they could lose as few as 20-30 seats, as relatively few individual districts are certain pickups for Republicans.
haha, that's one way to cover your bases.
The problem with predicting House races is that there are too many to base it on polling because not enough polls are done. I'll predict right now that there will be upsets that very few saw coming, simply due to the lack of any public polling being done.
There are going to be at least 100 races that Democrats either lose, or come within single-digits of losing. In both 2006 and 2008, I went with predicting what the wave looked like, and it turned out that way. If you go with what the wave looks like now, it winds up in Jim Geraghty's lap.
If you look at those Gallup numbers though, in this redistricting decade, you'll see that it does tend to tighten as the election nears during the month of October.
Democrats had a 23 point lead that closed to 7 points in 2006.
Democrats had a 1-3 point lead that closed to a Republican 6 point lead in 2002.
After that 2002 election, the makeup of the House of Representatives was 229 Republican seats and 206 Democratic voting seats.
So, if the Democrats are able to close the current 17 percent difference by about 12 percent, making it 5 percent, a good marker would point toward a swing from the current 255 seats held by Democrats to the 206 seats held after 2002. Which happens to be, at 49, right near the current consensus.
That's not too surprising either-- to see prognosticators gravitate toward the to-date extreme for the current CD makeup to predict the mid-term results when it looks like a blowout is pending (it did get a bit worse for the Democrats after the 2004 GE when the makeup was 232 Republicans to 203 Democratic voting).
A 49 - 52 seat loss (bringing the Dems back to 203 - 206 seats), seems to be as bad as conventional wisdom could imagine.
A 17 point generic Republican lead however, like the current Gallup shows, means that any seat where there's a less than a less than a D+10 makeup is more than on the table. ~70 is just grabbing a higher number. There is no sure way to know. It should close from here I'd imagine, but we'll see.
U.S. voters' preferences for the party they will support in this year's House elections have been quite stable over the past three weeks, with Republicans leading by low single digits among registered voters. They lead by substantially more than that among likely voters, including both high-turnout and typical-turnout scenarios.
It is not clear from the historical record how likely these patterns are to continue through the end of the month. Gallup's pre-election polling in prior midterm years documents that there were some years when the structure of voter preferences by this point in October was generally maintained through the elections (1998 and, to a lesser extent, 1994), but others when it changed substantially (2002 and 2006).

FORT WORTH - A four-year-old boy nearly drowned while saving a three-year-old girl Monday afternoon at a north Fort Worth neighborhood pool.
The boy was transported by helicopter ambulance to Cook Children's Hospital after a drowning was reported at a Woodland Springs neighborhood pool at Timberland Boulevard and Old Denton Road. The boy was reported to be unconscious and not breathing, but he did have a pulse.
Upon arriving to the scene, emergency crews also discovered a three-year-old girl had nearly drowned. A MedStar spokesperson said the boy was supporting the girl above the water as she struggled in the deep end of the pool when he went under.
The girl was never unconscious, but was taken by ambulance to a local hospital after swallowing some water. She was reported to be in fair condition at 8:45 p.m. Monday.
As of 10 p.m. Monday, there has been no update on the boy's condition.
Tim Johns, a spokesman with the Fort Worth Fire Department, credited the quick response to the accident to Christy Daae, an off-duty nurse from Harris Methodist Hospital who was nearby.
"I had gone to the little pool to be with my three year old, and then I heard the scream," Daae told News 8. "And then I responded."
The emergency room nurse and another woman performed two-person CPR after the boy was pulled from the water, and continued until MedStar arrived.
"As I've kind of relived it and gone over it, I knew exactly what to do," Daae said. "I didn't second guess."
The child's frantic parents stood nearby as Daae and the other woman performed CPR.
"[It was] very upsetting," Daae said. "I couldn't imagine being the mom that was beside that little boy, talking to him the whole time as we were doing CPR."
Daae was told that the boy regained a pulse as he was loaded on to the emergency helicopter.
"I knew that's what I needed to do -- help," she said. "That's what any mom would do."
