It was painful to watch.
The Titans 31-17 loss to the 49ers left one to wonder. Is this the same team that got off to a promising 3-1 start, or is it a 3-4 team that bumbled and stumbled around LP Field Sunday?
It was 24-0 through three quarters. The team that professes to have a power running game managed all of 70 ground yards on 13 plays. Quarterback Jake Locker returned from a sprained hip and knee and said he suffered no pain during the game. Locker was the least of the offensive meltdown.
Ten penalties took away 100 yards and this team can least afford that and expect to beat a team that lost in the Super Bowl a year ago.
The Titans punted after making one first down on their opening drive. On the second possession, they reached their 47-yard line before a holding penalty pushed them back 10 yards. They got back to the 48 before a second holding penalty forced a punt.
That scenario played out all too often in the first half. Locker was dumped for an 11-yard loss to stall their first drive of the second quarter. On the next possession, Locker threw an interception.
On their final drive, they failed to get past their own 37 before reaching halftime and were 17-0 in arrears. In effect, those wearing Code Blue T-shirts could have headed home and would not have missed anything. The players are the ones who should have worn the Code Blue shirts. They never displayed much of a pulse.
So will this be a team that plays up to its capabilities, or will they continue to be their own worst enemy?
"We didn't play well and we hurt ourselves,'' Coach Mike Munchak admitted. "A lot of it was self-inflicted. That's the disappointing part, the part with penalties and the fumble for the touchdown and the interception. We have to work to fix that.''
Locker was in complete agreement.
"I didn't think we were struggling to get going. I thought it was us struggling to keep going,'' Locker said. "I thought we moved the ball. We just had some things to end the drives for us – penalties and other stuff, missing throws, dropped passes. … We found ways to stall drives out.''
There were certainly other areas of concern. Punt and kickoff returner Darius Reynaud has proven he is not the man for the job. His judgment on fielding punts is suspect at best. He lost a fumble that was recovered in the end zone for a 49ers touchdown. It has been an ongoing problem, one that has to be addressed before the next game.
Wide receiver Kenny Britt continues to make selfish mistakes, losing his temper and drawing a 15-yard penalty with an official looking right at him. Britt should concentrate on catching passes. He was targeted twice and caught one pass for eight yards. He is more of the problem than the solution.Munchak and staff have to spare no prisoners as they try to get this team back on track.
"We're going to look at what changes are necessary and make them,'' Munchak said. He didn't rule out that one of the moves would include replacing Reynaud as a kick returner.
Britt needs to find a spot on the inactive list. Veterans who continue to incur penalties need to get their acts together.
"This is a game where we did not play our best, in any phase,'' Munchak said. "Every game up until this point, we definitely felt we could have won the football game.
"With our group, we have to figure out how to go out and fix things, whether it be working how we need to work, who's playing. All those things will be made by us. … All is definitely not lost.''
Munchak's future depends on righting the ship this season. Another year of not making the playoffs will put his job squarely on the line.
The Titans have nine games remaining in the regular season. The AFC South is still wide open. The Colts went into Sunday night's game with Denver with a 4-2 overall record, 3-2 in the division. The Titans are 3-4 overall, 2-3 in division play. Houston is riding a five-game losing streak and the Jaguars are 0-7.
It's there for the taking. The ball is in their court.

The Andover Townsman
---- — Editor, Townsman:
In the upcoming election for state senator, I think it is very important that we elect a candidate who is familiar with the way things work in Andover and what is needed. It would be a definite plus to elect a person who grew up here and attended Andover schools, as Barry Finegold did. He and his wife Amy Finegold are raising their lovely family and conducting businesses here in Andover, also.
Barry has done an excellent job as state senator and has shown much concern and caring for the elderly. He has advocated for seniors to be priority for power restoration when there is a power outage. This is essential for those who need life-saving medical equipment in their homes.
Barry has consistently served our town well – in many capacities, so let's allow him to continue to work for us.
These are some of many reasons I plan to vote for Barry Finegold for state senator. I urge you to join me on Nov. 6,
with your vote.

Lucien Engelen: Will there still be Telecoms in 5 years ?
Somethings puzzling me, invoked by how companies innovate and choices they make to change course.
I see a lot of dynamics in (at least) the european telecom market in terms of prices-drops, mergers and new regulations. On the other hand there is this development where cable companies are vastly enrolling a mesh-like wireless network through WiFi-sharing by private router-sharing. And Google is creating internet-networks through balloons in Google-x project Loon (i.e. in rural areas). Add to it that more and more applications communicate through the IP (Internet Protocol).
Comes to mind the question : whether or not telecoms in general will still be in business in a few years. And what are telecoms doing about this, what kind of transition do the fore-see themselves. Merging INside the sector won't solve the challenge IMHO.
Or will we see "newcomers" like cable companies (in terms of wireless-network-coverage) disrupt a huge chunk of the current telecom market, in a way Clayton Christensen teaches us over and over again.
I see great parallels with healthcare and Science on the level of needed innovation of "the Model", aside innovation on the processes and the products and would love to hear your opinion in that.

Pathways for Exceptional Children is the recipient of a $5,000 grant from a foundation formed by a coalition of Phish fans, the Mockingbird Foundation announced.
The grant money will be used to fund various expenses for Pathways' music programs, which are set to expand this year as the group is planning to open a new creative space in Montville.
The Mockingbird Foundation is a nonprofit organization run by volunteers inspired by music of the rock band Phish. Phish's following has spanned three decades, the band's concerts continuing as one of the largest live acts in the country.
The Foundation was formed in 1996 and has distributed more than $700,000 in grant funds to organizations throughout the country to support music education for children.
"We continue to be amazed by the vast need for music education funding, and impressed by the dedication of people such as you who work diligently to help fill those needs," Ellis Godard, executive director of the Mockingbird Foundation, said. "We were particularly impressed with the request submitted by Melinda Jennis at Pathways for Exceptional Children."
Ten grants totaling $46,200, including the grant for Pathways, were announced last month as part of the Foundation's 16th round of grant funding. Other grants included for musical instruments and equipment at music schools.

SUNNYSIDE, Wash. - Sunnyside police have identified the man who died in the officer involved shooting.
Officers say 27-year-old Ramon Ayala of Outlook had been firing shots near Harrison and Tacoma on Wednesday night.
Police say when they arrived and told Ayala to drop the gun, he didn't, and instead turned the gun towards the officer. The officer responded by shooting.
Paramedics took Ayala to Sunnyside Community Hospital where doctors pronounced him dead shortly after.
Police blocked off the area and contacted the Washington State Patrol to continue with the investigation, which is the police department's policy whenever an officer is involved in a shooting.
SUNNYSIDE, Wash. - The Yakima County Coroner says a man shot by Sunnyside Police Wednesday afternoon has died from his injuries.
Police say they were forced to shoot the man outside the TW Mini Market. Neighbors say the man had shot at store windows and was firing into the air.
We are working to get more information, and will bring it to you as it becomes available.

Franconia (German: Franken) is a region of Germany comprising the northern parts of the modern state of Bavaria, a small part of southern Thuringia, and a region in northeastern Baden-Württemberg called Heilbronn-Franken. The Bavarian part is made up of the administrative regions of Lower Franconia (Unterfranken), Middle Franconia (Mittelfranken), and Upper Franconia (Oberfranken).
Franconia (like France) is named after the Germanic tribe of the Franks. This tribe played a major role after the breakdown of the Roman Empire and colonised large parts of medieval Europe.
Modern day Franconia comprises only a very tiny and rather remote part of the settlement area of the ancient Franks. In German, Franken is used for both modern day Franconians and the historic Franks, which leads to some confusion. The historic Frankish Empire, Francia, is actually the common precursor of the Low Countries, France and Germany. In 843 the Treaty of Verdun led to the partition of Francia into West Francia (modern day France), Middle Francia (from the Low Countries along the Rhine valley to northern Italy) and East Francia (modern day Germany). Frankreich, the German word for "France", and Frankrijk, the Dutch word for "France"; literally mean "the Frankish Empire".

The Czech Republic didn't create many chances for themselves today at the Stadion Miejski, but when it really counted Milan Baros and Petr Jiracek combined to score the game's lone goal, giving the Czechs the top spot in Group A and a spot in the quarterfinals.
The first half started great for Poland as they put the Czech Republic defense under a ton of pressure early but failed to take advantage by putting a ball in the net. As the half progressed, the Czechs were able to wrestle away possession and slow the match down to the plodding crawl that benefited their desire for a draw. All that changed in the second half.
With Greece going up 1-0 on Russia in first half stoppage time (the 47th minute to be exact), the Czechs were now faced with the need for a win to advance to the quarterfinal, just like Poland.
That fact was clear from the start of the second half, as the Czechs were far more aggressive on the attack compared to the first 45 minutes. The biggest difference, and the main reason Poland wasn't able to generate the kind of chances we saw in the first 25 minutes or so of the first half, was the fact that the Czechs were able to completely shut down the wing play from Poland.
The Czechs had a brilliant chance to take the lead in the 65th minute as Tomas Sivok directed a point-blank header on goal, but Przemyslaw Tyton was up to the task, making a defensive reflex save to keep Poland's hopes alive.
The Czechs continued to put on the pressure, and their persistence paid off in the 72nd minute. After a rare foray forward for Poland, the Czechs hit on the counter attack. After an extremely poor giveaway by Rafal Murawski, the Czechs rushed forward, getting to the ball to Milan Baros who patiently held things up just long enough to allow Petr Jiracek time to make a run to his left. Baros made a simple pass and Jiracek beat Przemyslaw Tyton with a low shot.
Poland had a last gasp effort denied by a tremendous defensive play from Michal Kadlec. Jakub Blaszczykowski drew out Petr Cech and chipped a shot over the sliding keeper that looked destined for the back of the net. At the last second, Kadlec came flying in and deflected the shot away, preserving the victory for the Czechs.
The co-host Poland will go out of Euro 2012 lamenting their inconsistent play and wondering what might of been had they connected on one or two of the excellent chances they had in the first half.

Question: What is 10 - 4 ? Answer:


text: As health care continues to be exceedingly complex, expensive, and at times unsafe, health care systems and providers have been examining ways to make care more cost-effective and less harmful. In 2000, the Institute of Medicine's report, "To Err Is Human: Building a Safer Health System," pointed out that health care in the United States needed to fundamentally change to meet the demands of an aging population, rapid growth in technology, and the need to both improve quality and control expenditures. An underlying principle in the report is that most errors are related to problems with administrative and clinical processes.

Operation Indy Commute is a new initiative by INDOT to strategically open up recurring commuting bottlenecks in the Indianapolis metropolitan area. The program is modeled after successful, quick-turnaround traffic flow improvements built in other states under the Federal Highway Administration's Localized Bottleneck Reduction Program.
View live Operation Indy Commute construction photos.
During construction, traffic will be maintained on the existing I-65 and I-465 ramps until improvements are completed. During peak commuting times, three lanes will be maintained in each direction for both I-65 and I-465. Occasional lane closures may be required at night and other off-peak times.
Widening of I-465 is expected to begin in 2014 and will require reconstruction of the Sherman Drive bridge. Walsh closed the bridge on Dec. 2, 2013. During the closure, Sherman Drive traffic will be detoured to Carson Avenue over I-465. The bridge is expected to reopen by September 2014.

GREETINGS FROM SINGAPORE!

Business Week Article Supports Foxhall's Strategy
Posted July 2, 2007
0 Comments
BUSINESS WEEK ARTICLE REINFORCES FOXHALLS GLOBAL STRATEGY This week BUSINESS WEEK(1) published an article about the well known Princeton University professor and economist, Burton Malkiel. The article reinforces the underlying foundation of FOXHALL CAPITALs global investing strategy. Burton Malkiel is most famous for his classic finance book, A RANDOM WALK DOWN WALL STREET. In the past, he has been a leading proponent of the EFFICIENT MARKET HYPOTHESIS, which contends that prices of publicly traded assets reflect all publicly available information. FROM WALL STREET TO THE GREAT WALL But now in his new book, FROM WALL STREET TO THE GREAT WALL: HOW INVESTORS CAN PROFIT FROM CHINAS BOOMING ECONOMY. (W.W. Norton, December 2007) he now sees Asia and specifically China as the greatest investment opportunity in the world today. He says investors are getting a bargain for the most undervalued currency in the world.

Braintree, Vermont - July 1, 2008
This morning, Brooke Bennett's biological parents, James Bennett and Cassandra Gagnon, and her sister, Savanna Andress, were on the CBS Early Show to talk about the case of the missing 12-year-old from Braintree.
They talked to Harry Smith.
Smith: "Cassandra. Michael Jacques is your sister's husband. Are you concerned he may be involved?"
Cassandra Gagnon: "I'm very concerned. I just hope her well being is still fine."
Smith: "Do you have any instinct what may have happened to her?"
Savanna Andress: "There's so much to think. So much that we are hearing. I know that she is alive and is OK, and she's going to come home. I'm scared of what could happen to her."
Read the affidavit containing the police evidence against Michael Jacques.**

November 29, 2012 - CISAC, FSI Stanford In the News
John Lewis discusses Sino-US relations on Chinese TV
CISAC Faculty Member and FSI Senior Fellow John Lewis, one of the world's leading scholars on China, sits down with Chinese news anchor Yang Rui in Beijing to talk about how U.S.-China relations have evolved since the fabled Ping Pong diplomacy of President Richard Nixon. In an in-depth interview, Lewis talks about the heady days of hosting the first-ever Chinese table tennis players and scholars here on the Stanford campus. "We knew we were part of history; it was thrilling," Lewis recalls. Watch the interview, with now-historic video, here or go to to the English-language CCTV website.

CATEGORIES MoviesFilm: Damsels in Distress (2011) Cast includes: Greta Gerwig (Greenberg), Carrie MacLemore (Gossip Girl), Megalyn Echikunwoke (Fix), Analeigh Tipton (Crazy, Stupid, Love.), Adam Brody (Jennifer's Body) Writer/Director: Whit Stillman (The Last Days of Disco) Genre: Comedy | Romance (99 minutes)
"Look... there." "Yes, I think so."
It's Seven Oaks' orientation, and Violet, Heather and Rose are looking for someone to help. Lily looks like a good candidate.
"We'd like to help you... Life can be pretty bad," says Violet. "Would our help and guidance be something you'd appreciate? Or would you like to sink or swim on your own?" As it turns out, the college has lost Lily's dorm room assignment, so maybe it's a good thing that Violet's threesome could use a fourth.
Violet and the gals are brimming with helpful advice. When they go to a party at the DK house, Violet explains that the "guys are crying out for guidance... Do you know what's the primary problem in contemporary social life? It's the natural tendency to seek someone cooler than yourself." But it's better to "take a guy who hasn't realized his full potential... or doesn't even have much... and help him reach it." We soon learn that Violet, too, is striving to reach her full potential: "I'd like to do something really significant in my life."
Maybe that's why the girls started the Suicide Prevention Center -- where no case is too hard or challenging. The girls are always ready with donuts and tap dancing at the first sign of a suicide that needs preventing. Priss, for example, has been crying for weeks, ever since her boyfriend left her. ("He used to gaze at me with such love in his eyes.") Violet and the gals to the rescue! But when Lily questions Violet's methods -- yet again -- Violet points out the obvious: "We've got a rebel amongst us."
You'd think when Violet's heart gets broken and she ends up in a "tailspin," she'd have an epiphany about the bizarre advice the gals dispense. But Damsels in Distress isn't that kind of movie. It strives for persistent deadpan humor and, in fact, delivers many charming, clever moments. But the misguided goody-two-shoe act turns out not to be an act. While it's often quite creative, it's hard to care about what happens to the characters. The film is nicely produced and the acting is rather good, in that they play these wacky characters with total sincerity. The beginning is quite cute, and the end has a fun musical finale, but the middle seems like an excruciatingly long hodge-podge of silliness. At one point, Violet wonders what the plural is for doufus. Is it doufi? As it turns out, it's a word that might come in quite handy when thinking about the damsels and their projects.

3.43/5 rDev -15.5%
Color: Deep gold with a thick white head that settles quickly, carbonation is medium to low.
Aroma: Fairly clean malt with notes of apple and a hint of caramel.
Taste: Malt sweetness, again the apple shows up along with a little pear, caramel, then a very nice light bitterness.
Overall: A pretty good example of the style but the esters seemed just slightly more up front than I thought they should be, although apple was by far the most dominant. I really could not taste the alcohol. I prefer if there is a bit of spiciness and alcohol brightness in a maibock. But hey, it's a good beer and quite drinkable so who really cares?

On tap...Twin Cities Pub Crawl 2004...
Bright orangey amber and clear. Creamy head, 1/4 of an inch in height and good duration. Lots of sheeting lace on the glass. Outstanding aroma! Just reeks of quality brewing. Spicy, juicy, raisiny. Good mouthfeel, a speck light, flavor has fresh fruit cocktail connotations, slight breadiness, prickly hot cinnamon. Peppery and fresh at the close, just a note of hops. Malty, great smell, a very good Maibock for style and as a beer on its own. No regional bragging here (which I'm not a fan of), this is just a first class rendition.

Another 1 L handfilled bottle courtesy of feloniousmonk.
Ruby-stained apricot with a short, whispy beige head that quickly subsides to surface swirls.
Nose full of toasted caramel, doughy dark breads, and honey.
Malty in full. Caramel-soaked, under-baked raisin bread. All doughy and wet and gooey in the middle. Crusty on the outside. Plenty toasty and sweet with Vienna and Munich notes. Nougat middle, coupled with burnt tangerines and brown sugar and roasted, honey-glazed walnuts. Minor grapey vinousness. Clean in flavor and texture, and obviously well lagered. A conjoined pear-prune essence manifests itself towards the finish. The finish itself is full of Germanic hop spice, via dead grass and dessicated herbs.
Full bodied with low-to-nil carbonation (certainly due to the rebottled nature), and resultingly a touch sticky. Regardless, it is still very impressive.
Seemingly the intersection of mai- and doppel- bocks.
Very good indeed. I can only imagine what this becomes straight off tap.

Presentation: 64 fluid ounce brown glass Minneapolis Town Hall Brewery Growler, filled at the Town Hall nonetheless. Looks resplendent with a white and blue text Town Hall sticker across the white screw cap which is sealed in place with a seemingly vacuum-drawn charcoal colored tape which wraps the cap and neck, took some getting off but it served its purpose perfectly. Small white stickers are placed beneath the words Enjoyed By [6-2] and Beer Style [MB] on the reverse.
Appearance: Deep copper colored body, ESB like the ruddy dark red sunset hues littler my desk with ruby transient reverse shadows. Off-white vanilla colored creamy head, massive in depth, complex in its honeycomb make-up with an obsequious character. Nice lacing and a streaky smattering of froth lines my 25 ounce handled Mug. Gentle swirls reveal fine conditioning and resuscitate as well as invigorate the head back to life.
Nose: Sweet malts, freshly baked breaded middle and a Commando like apple fruity streak that clambers all over the nose. Toffee like thickness to the odors lends a glue-like cement consistency to the malts which stick easily to the hairs in the nose. The nuances are harder to detect, for they are easily masked by the lovely malts, yet worthy of a Search and Rescue mission to find them. Candy sugar, toffee apples, malted rye bread, yeasty unproven dough, it's all here.
Taste: Not exactly backwards in coming forwards, the decidedly malty front is bold and naked; it enforces its malt base with thick slashes of spicy hops. Cob like middle has a wholemeal bread skeleton. Light bitterness, some sweetness, Granny Smith apples finger the lips whilst a hint of candied fruits play with the tonsils. Spicy hop finish lingers in the swallow.
Mouthfeel: Thick and full-bodied it has an oily presence on the tongue at first and it benefits from a solid malt bill that builds intensity and depth into the lingering spicy hop laden bitter finish. But malty nevertheless.
Drinkability: One word, Illustrious. Two words, Harmonious. This really is a devilishly enticing brew that is both big and beautiful. Drinks well, wonder what the strength is ..if I wake up at 3am on the sofa next to an empty Growler I guess I may get my answer.
Overall: Im still amazed how great beer can be from Growlers, shipped thousands of miles and enjoyed days, or even weeks, after it was poured, but this just was the case here. Fresh and invigorating the MTHB Maibock was a joy to share the evening with. Did I really finish 64 ounces of this one guess so.
I havent had that many Maibocks, and it is not a style that I know much about, nor do I have that much experience of, but this, oh my this is the Epiphany of Maibocks - Top Drawer stuff!!!
A HugeBig Thanks to BigHuge for this. Awesome!

The appearance is a great golden color with a nice white head . The smell is a mix of malt and fruity esters . The taste is a quick burst of fruityness followed by a malt kick with a touch of bitterness . The mouthfeel is light and enjoyable adding greatly to the drinkability . Overall another great selection from Town Hall .

Pours to a clear copper color with an off-white head. The aroma is very complex. It is malty, fruity I get cherries with this one. It has a spicy hop aroma, and is a bit toasted and caramel-like as well. The flavor is malty, toasty, with a spicy fruity hop flavor toward the finish. It has a subdued bitterness, but is does finish somewhat dry. A very complex brew that is medium-full in body. Kudos to Hoops on this one.

"...blessed by the local priest to ensure a good crop.". Pours a faint amber color with a decent head that doesn't stick around too much. Smells of very floral hops and some nice grain malt. Taste follows th nose - very grainy malts start off the beer. These fade to a really nice herbal, spicy pine combination. There is some faint bitterness on the shale mixed in with the grain malts. Very drinkable beer...I wish I would have tried this one eqrlie in the night because would have ordered it all night.

Fresh growler purchased at the 2005 release party: One of the darkest Maibocks I've seen. Very dark ruby copper color with only slight gold tones at the edges. That aside, it looks great, bright, clear set body and a huge foamy head of foam growing up quickly to generously cap the top. Cap sits for a good while before settling down to a hefty murk and the lacing coats in sheeting.
Aroma is clean and sweet with a good load of tangy candy-like malts bordering lager-like and heavy. Slight husk grain and herbal hops sit in the background.
Taste is bold and solid with a beefy maltedness that's thick, slick, and semi-chewy with some light fruity qualities, more so eluding to some caramel, but heavier set within a Munich malt breadiness thats glazed over with some butter. Sits on the tongue remotely like thin syrup. Finish really comes on nicely as the malts fade off. Sticky leftover fruits and bread gets brushed aside by a lovely build up of herbal hops spiced just right. The finish is almost smokey in a sense in the way that it emerges from the malts. Pretty cool character to have for a Maibock. I really like that part of it alot. Very nice hop finish on this one.
Feel is oh my thickly good. Almost too thick, if you can believe that. Big full malt body, smooth, clean, slick, and some chewyness all make for a nice sipping experience with this. I kept wanting to slam this stuff, but its a bit difficult. Registering in at 7.1% Its just too big for that. Very filling. Very satisfying though. Good stuff!

Served with a finger of khaki head. Good retention with some lace left. Color is a clear golden orange. Appealing.
Aroma: Bready malts, grassy, kind of sweet. Fairly simple.
Taste: Much more flavor here. A lot of grains and bready malts. Grassy/earthy hops. It reminds me a bit of a pils. Has a citrus flavor as well.
Mouthfeel: Creamy and malty. Lighter bodied with a medium amount of carbonation. Ends clean.
Overall, a little bit weak on the nose, but the flavor makes up for it. A bit malty, but it should be. Easy drinking. Solid maibock.

Scores are an average of two years tastings..detailed scores for each are below..
06-I though the 06 version was much too hot and alcoholic...a little spicier than malty....had a hard time drinking the whole growler over two days.
04Poured from a growler....dark copper with orange hints...some mild chill haze...small white lace....nose smells like an O-fest or actually a true Vienna with a lot of toasted maltiness....very toasty...body is on the high side of medium...substantial as it should be in my opinion....very smooth....very sweet Maibock with strong toasted maltiness..guessing vienna malts are used...a nice doughy yeasty bready component too...spicy hops lie in the background but blend perfectly....
I really like this...perhaps the best Maibock I have had but probably cloer to top 5...One of my favorite Town Hall brews..

Perfect shade of dark golden copper and crimson. Absolutely clear. A decent sized ivory white head caps it off and is well retained. The lacing comes in full sheets. Aroma is very nice. Whiffs of munich malts, bready yeastiness and biscuit like tones dominate. The flavor follows suit with the nose. Very nice indeed. Toasted malts accent the caramel dripped doughiness to perfection. And again...what I believe to be a munich/vienna malt blend provides a very nice breadiness and chewiness to the mix. And theres just a touch of some earthy, dry hops. The body is full and the carbonation is just ever so appropriately prickly. This is so damn drinkable. Probably favorite maibock to date. Nirvana in a glass.

Clear and clean amber-golden with a good head and good head retention. Clean and still rich with plenty of toffee, caramel and the melanoidins. Only slightly bitter with what I assume is a "noble" bitterness. Medium body and a slightly sweet bready finish. A very well done lager.

Appearance: clear amber color, great, solid, creamy white head.
Aroma: soft, sweet, honeyish.
On first sip: big sweetness ensues, honey, touches of citrus and other fruits, great, lusciously sweet, lingering finish.
Flavor resides anew in every sip and swallow, each time lip meets glass a resonation of honey sweet and luscious malt occurs.
Big malt, little to no hops, but terrifically true to style, in fact, an utterly exemplary example!
Sweetness never gets too cloying, though it shines very brightly and awards the senses with each subsequent consumption.
Continually ringing sweetness, a touch buttery, but every bit perfect.

Tyler police have arrested a man on charges of aggravated robbery and credit card abuse, a month after the crime occurred.
Timothy Pullins was arrested on March 4th. Police say in late January 2013, Pullins was involved in an armed robbery in southeast Tyler.
On the morning of January 27th, police say a woman was leaving the Electric Cowboy club, and walking to her car. She was approached by a white car with four men inside. Police say one of the men pulled a gun on the woman, and took her cell phone and purse before driving away.
After that robbery, Pullins was identified on surveillance video using one of the woman's credit cards.

Grand Theft Auto 5 Book Club chapter 1: The first 10 percent (Warning: Spoilers)
A quick note: I'm not sure how to do this without talking about plot points and characters, so this is going to be full spoiler for the sections we discuss. I'll post percentage completion, but I'm not sure how that changes with side-quests, so be aware that you may read about things you haven't yet played. Proceed at your own risk.
Can we talk about the technical aspects of Grand Theft Auto V for a few moments before we get into the story and mechanics? Rockstar clearly wanted to end this generation of consoles with a bang, but the things that Grand Theft Auto V are trying to do remind me of watching a bear ride a unicycle. You don't expect it to be done well, but you're pretty impressed that it's happening at all. (A quick note: After writing this, I saw this article. Some of these issues may be due to the fact I'm playing the PSN version of the game on an original 60GB PlayStation 3.)
The PlayStation 3 is clearly straining with the pressure of keeping all this madness happening, and the frame rates tend to be lower than I'm normally comfortable with. The aliasing is distracting, and the amount of objects that just kind of pop into existence after a moment or two are annoying as hell. The game has moments of beauty, and Los Santos itself is detailed and lively, but I found myself frequently wishing I was playing on a next-gen system or my PC.
You get used to everything an hour or so into the game, however, and unless things get even worse later in the game, I think it's safe to leave the complaints there. Keeping in mind both the PS3 and Xbox 360 only offer 512MB of RAM; Grand Theft Auto V is an amazing technical achievement, although it's far from perfect.
So how's the game?
The hood and the retiree
Franklin is a two-bit hood who helps a local car dealership "repossess" vehicles that are sold with less than optimal financing. Michael used to rob banks, but he got out of the life with a wad of cash and what seems to be a clean slate. They're very different characters in terms of background and outlook on life, and circumstances throw the two men together early in the game.
They're both unlikable, of course. Franklin interacts with his friends through a thick haze of crime and expletives, and the dialog often sounds like it was written by children who are trying desperately to sound tough. I might be getting old, or I may just be stodgy, but I kept wondering if they really needed to curse so much.
Michael has everything and enjoys nothing. His wife is sleeping with her tennis instructor. His son is a piece of shit who spends all his time playing video games on his impressive home theater conveniently located in his room, close to his bong. "You might be 12, but I'll rape you anyway!" The kid screams at the TV, while his sister calls him a "homo" in the other room.
Franklin is tasked with grabbing the kid's car after he falls behind on payments, and this leads to a fun scene where Michael hides in the back, gun ready, before turning the tables on our young car thief. Michael is retired, you see, but you don't take what's his. The old reflexes and street smarts kick back in, the owner of the dealership gets his ass beaten, and suddenly Franklin is out of a job, but he has an invitation to meet Michael for a drink.
Michael is drawn back into crime because he's bored, and roughing someone up and getting his car back by force seems fun. Soon he's hanging out with Franklin, passing on some wisdom about why crime doesn't pay, and then they're off chasing a boat. Don't ask.
We're running through plot here, but the Polygon article about the mundane details making the game is right on. We spend a lot of time with these people, and their friends, and we learn about what makes them tick and how they operate just by paying attention to what they do, where they go, and how they deal with these situations. Part of this is up to the player, but these men feel like real people, even if they're people you may not want to invite into your home.
Los Santos is a crazy place if you're in the mood to get lost, and the best way to play is to let go a bit, drive around and explore, and do whatever you feel like. The story unfolds at a comfortable, leisurely pace.
I paid 20 virtual dollars to watch an art film, and I have no idea why I sat through the whole confusing mess. I wanted to get my money's worth, I guess? The amount of things to see and do can be overwhelming at first, but once I got used to just picking something, doing it, and then moving onto the next thing it became more comfortable. The tennis minigame is surprisingly enjoyable, and I get to work on my virtual cardio!
You get introduced to a dog who runs off to hump another male dog, and the game helpfully tells you that if you download an iPhone app you can train him and improve his behavior. I feel like the player is the one being trained in this instance, however, and decided to pass on that particular aspect of the game. I'm not interested in a canine Tamagotchi.
What's interesting about the first few hours is how low these stakes are. There are a few gunfights, but no one ever seems to be in actual danger. Sure, Michael and Franklin destroy a house they assume belongs to the tennis coach who is sleeping with Michael's wife, but that's as intense as the destruction gets in this early part of the game. The two men are just kind of screwing around and enjoying each other's company, and it plays like a stranely pleasant buddy comedy.
The house ends up belonging to an actual, operating gangster, however, and suddenly Michael is on the hook for $2.5 million of renovations, and who has that kind of cash on hand? No one has to save the world, or stop a supervillain, we're just trying to keep a complacent ex-robber alive for a few more years. But how the hell does someone come up with that kind of money?
Michael has someone he can call. His name is Lester. More soon.
A quick note on comments: Please avoid spoilers from the game that occur at a later time in the game than what is described in this story. On the other hand, I'm not going to police the comments for spoilers, so read at your own risk. Standard "don't be a dick" rules apply.

Good ... if you move to Doha, let me know ... I've been here for 6 years, I can tell you all the good locations for photo opportunities ... it's a tiny country, you can criss cross the whole country in half a day. Good luck.
You are welcome ... don't know which part of the middle east you plan to move to but make sure to bring your camera and lenses ... coz life here is pretty dry in terms of entertainment, socializing etc if you are an expat and you really do need a hobby to keep you occupied during your free time, especially between April - October (it is hot as hell goes up to 55 degrees celsius) ... but it is a good place to save money ... no income tax and deductions etc
Thanks for the info. It would be Doha or Dubai (not sure at the moment). I'll surely be bringing my gear along ... Can't live without it (As my friend says my blood group is "P+")

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
Toledo Edison has sent out a report of potential door-to-door utility sales fraud.
The company says they've received numerous reports of sales people going door-to-door, claiming to be from Toledo Edison and promising to save people money on their electric bills.
"Toledo Edison and First Energy are not engaged in any door-to-door sales campaigns," said Regional President Linda Moss. "In some cases, we've heard the sales people have been quite aggressive. We urge our customers to remain vigilant before they admit any person to their residence, release any personal information or sign anything presented by an unsolicited visitor."
All Toledo Edison employees will have company uniforms and proper identification. The company says any customers who have doubts should call Toledo Edison at 1-800-447-3333, or call the police if the sales person acts suspiciously.

MarkWest Energy Partners and The Energy & Minerals Group have executed definitive agreements with Gulfport Energy Corporation to handle condensates produced in southeastern Ohio's Utica shale play.
Gulfport, rapidly developing its acreage within the wet gas, retrograde condensate and oil windows of the emerging Utica Shale, currently has more than 147,000 net acres under lease.
Under the agreements, MarkWest and EMG would provide stabilization services and potential gathering services for condensate produced in southeastern Ohio's Utica shale play through a new joint venture, Ohio Condensate Company, LLC, related to the development of industry-leading facilities and services to support the rapid growth of condensate production in liquids-rich areas of the Utica Shale.
MarkWest and EMG are already in discussions with other Utica producers about the joint venture's condensate solutions.
Initial infrastructure development will consist of a new condensate stabilization facility, with associated logistics and storage terminal capabilities to be constructed in Harrison County, Ohio, and placed in service by the third quarter of 2014. The facility will have initial stabilization capacity of 23,000 barrels per day (Bbl/d) and an immediate 30,000 Bbl/d expansion is anticipated. The facility will be co-located and fully integrated with condensate storage, and a truck and rail loading terminal that will be constructed and operated by a subsidiary of Ohio-based Midwest Terminals that will exclusively serve the joint venture.
Raw condensate will be delivered by truck and stabilized at the facility. Once stabilized, the condensate will be transported by truck and rail to local refinery markets as well as Canadian export markets. Down the road, they said a condensate gathering system and regional pipelines may be constructed to support additional deliveries to the facility.
The facility also will serve as the origin for MPLX LP's previously announced Cornerstone Pipeline, a condensate pipeline project that will terminate near Canton, OH, and is scheduled to be operational by late 2016.
MarkWest and EMG are currently developing the largest fully integrated midstream solution in the Utica Shale, which includes hundreds of miles of gas and natural gas liquids gathering pipeline, up to three large-scale complexes totaling more than 1 billion cubic feet of processing capacity and 138,000 Bbl/d of ethane and heavier fractionation capacity.
In announcing the agreement with Gulfport, MarkWest Chairman, President and CEP Frank Semple said they were "very excited to continue expanding our relationship with Gulfport Energy and provide a critical new service offering for the stabilization and marketing of condensate."
"Together with EMG, the formation of an integrated condensate solution is a significant milestone in our ongoing development of full-service midstream infrastructure in the Utica Shale and will provide producers with the ability to capture additional uplift from their growing liquids production," he said. "We believe the increased use of condensate as a feedstock for refineries, and the growing demand from Canada for diluent, will support local, regional and international consumption of Utica condensate."

Le camp de Péran
You are at the center of Camp Péran or Camp Burnt Stones (10th century).
Discovered in 1845 by Baron De la Pylaie, the walled enclosure is located on the common Plédran (Côtes d'Armor) and is classified a historical monument since 1875.
The camp consists of two concentric walls (each formed by a parapet and a ditch) in the shape of an ellipse (134m to the long axis and 110 to small). The inner rampart, which is the highest, sustained the action of a violent fire in the same way as glass castles of Scotland, probably remains of a Viking invasion ...
The carbon-14 dating is the fire that led to the vitrification of stone about the year 915. However, texts are the landing of the Normans bulldozer, Barbetorte at Dol, in the year 936. The future Alain IV Barbetorte said, then allegedly stole the mouth of Gouët, and have fought with the Vikings, entrenched in a camp.
Is this one of Péran, defensive place situated on a plateau rising to 160m?
The legend says that the fire lasted 7 years ...

France is affectionately referred to as "the Hexagon" for its overall shape.
French history goes back to the Gauls, a Celtic tribe which inhabited the area circa 300BC until being conquered by Julius Caesar.
The Franks were the first tribe to adopt Catholic Christianity after the Roman Empire collapsed. France became an independent location in the Treaty of Verdun in (843 AD), which divided up Charlemagne's Carolingian Empire into several portions.
The French monarchy reached its zenith during the reign of Louis XIV, the Sun King, who stood for seventy-two years as the Monarch of all Monarchs. His palace of Versailles and its Hall of Mirrors are a splendid treasure-trove of Baroque art.
The French Revolution ended the rule of the monarchy with the motto "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity!" On July 14th, 1789 angry mobs stormed La Bastille prison and began the Revolution in which Louis XVI, his wife Marie-Antoinette and thousands of others met the guillotine.
One decade after the revolution, Napolean Bonaparte seized control of the Republic and named himself Emperor. His armies conquered most of Europe and his Napoleonic Code became a lasting legal foundation for concepts of personal status and property.
During the period of colonization France controlled the largest empire in the world, second only to Britain.
France is one of the founding members of the European Union and the United Nations, as well as one of the nuclear armed nations of the world.

Is Pawlenty Opting Out of a Third Term Because He Can't Get Elected?!?
by btchakir, Tue Jun 02, 2009 at 10:56:44 AM EDT
Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty announced today that he wouldn't seek a third Governor's term in 2010. The question is why?
Most of the press thinks it's because he intends to run for the Republican Presidential Nomination in 2012 and needs the time to push towards that run.
I think, however, that the miserable publicity and lack of concern for State residents having a full Congressional representation which Pawlenty has built up while supporting Norm Coleman's attempt to steal the senatorial election from Al Franken is the real cause. The people, even those who didn't support Franken in the first place, are pretty pissed-off that Pawlenty didn't certify Franken after the recount, or after the recount review that gave him even more votes, but has backed Coleman's taking the recount to the State Supreme Court where arguments wereplayed out yesterday.
The press and observers don't think Coleman has a chance after Jurists seriously questioned the lack of rel information he was using. When they come back, probably in the next couple of weeks, with a verdict, and if it supports Franken, which most of the press assumes it will, Pawlenty will be stuck on a spear through the butt! At that point, Franken can probably get seated by Harry Reid and won't need Pawlenty, and Pawlenty's participation in a stall that didn't work will make him appear much weaker.
Will he go hand and hand with Coleman to the US Supreme Court? If he does, he'll be screwed in front of a much bigger National audience... and there goes the Presidency.
