A day after learning Cincinnati's Horseshoe Casino pulled in $21 million in its first month of operation, its impact on Indiana casinos is also coming to light.
Statewide, Indiana's 13 gambling halls saw revenue fall 4.4%, with Rising Star Casino in Rising Sun, and Hollywood Casino in Lawrenceburg, taking the hardest hits.
At Hollywood, attendance and revenue fell 25% compared to March 2012 according to Indiana Gaming Commission numbers released Tuesday, which is nearly a $10 million hit.
Rising Star also saw big declines. Revenue there fell 23%, equaling $6.80, with attendance down 20%.
Belterra in Vevay brought in $12 million in revenue last month, down 6% from last year.
For some people who frequent the Horseshoe Casino and Indiana facilities for their gambling needs, they say the signs are pointing to more people gravitating to downtown Cincinnati.
If you take a look around the parking lot at the Rising Star Casino, you might think it seems empty because it's Tuesday afternoon. But, the numbers suggest there may be more the story, thanks to the Horseshoe Casino.
"They got different variety. They got better machines, and it's just a better atmosphere," said Timothy Milliner of Newport, KY.
For some players, they still enjoy the gaming places in Indiana and what they offer, especially the view.
"We like to see the river and watch the corn grow once the fields were planted.," said Pat Emmett of Cincinnati.
For one woman, she says she's noticing a small change that might actually tell a much bigger story as to why it seems like people are taking their money from Indiana casinos, to spend right here at the Horseshoe Casino in downtown Cincinnati.
"I keep on looking at the license plates, and I did notice when I came in here, that there's not nearly as many Ohio plates as there were in the past," added Emmett.
In line with the latest numbers, one gamble says he doesn't expect to take his cash back to Indiana.
"This seems to be a little bit better facility, different audience and overall I think it's a better casino," added Milliner.
But even though it looks like the numbers are taking a hit at Indiana casinos, for one player, either one works for her.
"This is the first time I've come here since they opened the new casino, but I like the new casino in Cincinnati, too," said Emmett.
On the heels of these numbers, the head of Indiana's Gaming Commission says it's becoming more likely that Indiana will make the shift to land-based gambling.
Ernest Yelton says the declining revenues and other factors are helping drive the push that state lawmakers would have to approve.

Performances play Nov. 17-Dec. 29 on the Donald and Darlene Shiley Stage in the Old Globe Theatre. Opening night is Nov. 23.
The Grinch — with book and lyrics by Timothy Mason and music by Mel Marvin — is directed by James Vásquez. The original production of Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas! was conceived and directed by Jack O'Brien. The show has additional lyrics by Theodor S. Geisel, additional music by Albert Hague and original choreography by John DeLuca.
Alternating in the role of Cindy-Lou Who are Caitlin McAuliffe (repeating her work from last year) of Poway, CA, and Lilith Freund of University City, CA. The cast also includes Steve Gunderson (Off-Broadway's Forever Plaid), returning as Old Max for his 10th appearance in The Grinch at the Globe; Jason Edward Cook (Off-Broadway's With Glee) as Young Max; plus Geno Carr (Papa Who), Kelsey Venter (Mama Who), Phil Johnson (Grandpa Who), Amanda Naughton (Grandma Who), Annie Buckley and Kaitlyn O'Leary (Annie Who), Sydney Rose Horowitz and Madison Pyle (Betty-Lou Who), Dylan Nalbandian and Jordi Bertran (Boo Who) and Aaron Acosta and Liam James Brandt (Danny Who) with Luke Babbitt, Ava Marie Bunn, Jacob Caltrider, Nancy Snow Carr, Kevin Davison, Sophia Dimmick, Randall Dodge, Katrina Heil, Brooke Henderson, Kyle J. Johnson, Gabi Leibowitz, Alison Grace Norwood, Carly Nykanen, Allison Spratt Pearce, Avalon Robbins and Maxine Sutton (Ensemble).
For tickets and information, visit TheOldGlobe.org.
The Old Globe will offer an autism-friendly performance of Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas! on Dec. 15 at 10:30 AM. Following in the footsteps of successful autism-friendly performances of The Lion King and Mary Poppins on Broadway, The Grinch will be performed "in a friendly and supportive environment for children on the autism spectrum and their families."
Slight adjustments will be made to the production including fewer loud noises and flashing lights that may be challenging for some audience members. Additional features will also help make the experience safer and more enjoyable for children with autism and other sensitivity issues, including a pre-show visit to the Globe to familiarize children with the theatre; an online social story available to view and print at home that will outline in words and pictures the experience of a visit to the Globe; a quiet area in the lobby of the theatre; and on-site volunteers to assist families as needed.
Theatre Development Fund's (TDF) Autism Theatre Initiative serves as an advisor for The Old Globe's autism-friendly Grinch performance.

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
A U.S. soldier is in custody and another man is dead after an apparent assault at a home outside of Adrian Saturday morning.
Michigan State police say they were called to an assault in progress around 8:30am Saturday, where they found a 20-year-old male victim unresponsive on the living room floor.
Troopers say the man was being administered CPR by residents of the home and had obvious ligature marks on his neck.
Troopers also found an 18-year-old man with stab wounds to his shoulder.
The incident happened at the Lee Villa Mobile Home Park northeast of Adrian.
Both victims were taken to the hospital by ambulance, where the man who had been found unresponsive was pronounced dead.
The man who had been stabbed was treated and released.
The suspect, a 31-year-old man, currently on leave from the U.S. Army, is in custody at the Lenawee County Jail.
He was visiting his estranged wife.
Troopers believe the suspect strangled the first victim during the early morning hours and that the second victim was stabbed by the same suspect as he attempted to give first aid to the first victim.
The investigation is ongoing.

Car bombings are something you would expect to see in a mob movie, not in the middle of a sleepy Holly neighborhood, but they've happened at one house three different times, and the most recent bombing is the worst yet."My husband jumped up and said, 'Not again,'" Lynne Oliseck told us.Not again is something you say about kids knocking over trash cans, not blowing up a truck, and it's happened not once, but three times -- the latest early Thursday morning."We heard this loud bang and both of us jumped out of bed," Oliseck explained.The Olisecks found their grandson's truck gutted by an explosive. The impact was so powerful the neighbors felt it."It sounded like it was coming through my house," said Becky Ford.There is shattered glass and debris all over the neighborhood, leaving so many asking what's next?"When I moved my family here, I didn't think we'd have to deal with things like this," Ford said."The gas tank could've blown up. My house could've gone up and everybody in it," said Oliseck."This is the third time it's happen now and each time it seems to progressively get worse," Ford remarked.The bombings began about a year ago and every single one has happened in the middle of the night, and the target is always the Oliseck's grandson's truck. This is his third one."He's evidently made somebody mad," his grandmother said.But why? Neighbors said he's a nice guy."Just turned 20 in August, and he is in Ohio working," Oliseck said.However, a teenaged neighbor said she knows the 19-year-old who was responsible for the first two bombings."He told me straight up, up at Lakeside Park, which is right down the road, that he was the one who did it," said Breanna Conner.Why?"I think they got in a fight in high school once."The dumbest reason imaginable and Holly Police know all about it, but that teen who we are not identifying, may not be responsible for this latest bombing. For one, the explosive used this time is a lot more powerful than the one believed to have been used in the first two bombings. Plus, the teen is on a tether because he's awaiting trial for other crimes.Meanwhile, this latest bombing has gotten the ATF's attention and people in this neighborhood hope that will be the key to ending this."It's going to come out and then they're going to face time and they're going to feel stupid for doing it all this time," Conner said."If you have a problem with my grandson, meet him face to face. Don't be a (expletive) and take it out on property," said Oliseck.Now that the ATF is involved, this will most likely not be a local issue. Whoever is behind this could face federal charges.

Tony Award-winning costume designer Ann Hould-Ward has been selected to receive the inaugural Patricia Zipprodt Award for Innovative Costume Design by the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT).
Hould-Ward, a protegee of the late costume designer Zipprodt, won a Tony for her designs for Disney's Beauty and the Beast.
The award will be presented at the Players Club on May 3 by FIT president Dr. Joyce Brown, honorary chair Joel Grey, and co-chairs Marion Seldes and Connie Zipprodt-Zonka.
FIT established the award program last year as the institute expands its theatre profile through its connection to Zipprodt. Zipprodt was a frequent Tony Award winner and nominee. She won three Tonys for Fiddler on the Roof in 1965, Cabaret in 1967, and Sweet Charity in 1986. Among her Tony noms are Zorba in 1969, Pippin in 1973, Chicago in 1976, and Shogun: The Musical in 1991.
FIT has long-term plans of expanding its curriculum and setting up joint programs with sister State University of New York (SUNY) schools to share design facilities and programs.
Its awards program will honor lifetime achievement and best of Broadway season winners. The winners will be chosen by a committee consisting of Tony winner David Sadler, fashion designer Donald Brooks, American Theatre Wing's Isabelle Stevenson, and two FIT faculty members.

The state Department of Transportation backed off of its proposal to demolish the westernmost 150 feet of Freighthouse Square to build a new Amtrak station. Now the agency wants to hear your design ideas.
The DOT said it would hold two meetings this month to ask for feedback from the public. Those meetings have now been scheduled:
- 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 23, Room 708 of Tacoma City Hall, 747 Market St.
- Noon to 2 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 30, Room 708 of Tacoma City Hall, 747 Market St.
The DOT will follow up with a third meeting in February to unveil designs based on the feedback received. The time for that meeting has not been set.
Residents told the DOT earlier this month that the Amtrak station should move from the west end to the east end of Freighthouse Square, and that the design should retain the original shell of the building.
In December, a small group of Dome District residents and business owners attended a meeting at Freighthouse Square to receive an update about WSDOT's plans for the building. The design's unveiling was not popular.
According to state Rep. Jake Fey, a vice chairman of the House Transportation Committee, transportation officials "were feeling kind of embarrassed because (the December meeting) set things in the wrong direction. … If they could do a do-over, they would not have released (the design) or brought it up. (The design) was in the very early stages."
Tacoma planner Ian Munce said the city is trying to marshall resources to hire a local architect, and plans to ask the DOT to chip in, too.
The proposed Freighthouse Square station is part of an $800 million statewide plan to reroute Amtrak trains from the slower route that runs along Puget Sound to an existing Sound Transit inland route that roughly parallels I‐5 from Tacoma to Nisqually, according to the DOT. The new route requires moving the Amtrak station from its existing location on Puyallup Avenue to Freighthouse Square just a few blocks away. Tacoma's new station is part of $89 million expected to be spent in Pierce County on the Point Defiance Bypass.
The Point Defiance Bypass is nothing new. The state Department of Transportation started working on this as early as 2006.
For more information about the meetings and the Point Defiance Bypass, visit the WSDOT website.

FreeNAS: BSD Line and Linux Fork
The FreeNAS project had discussed whether the free storage systems should use BSD or Linux in the future. The result is that both variants will now be available.
The open source software for network attached storage (NAS) runs on Intel and AMD64 processor and supports protocols such as Samba, FTP, NFS, AFP, rsync and iSCSI. For a base operating system FreeNAS uses M0n0wall, which itself is based on FreeBSD. That means it can use the ZFS filesystem, which is compatible with the BSD license.
As rumors in the FreeNAS forum emerged that the software will be developed under Debian GNU/Linux in the future, some participants feared the loss of the powerful ZFS, which for licensing reasons can't be included in the GPL-licensed Linux kernel.
Meanwhile project founder Olivier Cochard-Labbé has come out with some clarification. He writes that on the one hand main developer Volker Theile will undertake a rewrite based on GNU/Linux with the name OpenMediaVault. On the other hand development will continue on the BSD track. The sponsor for this work will be iXsystems, the San Jose CA company that will free some work for its professional FreeBSD developers to completely rework FreeNAS. As a first step, Cochard-Labbé himself plans to upgrade FreeNAS to the newest FreeBSD version 8.0.
CoreNASThe intermediate project leading up to OpenMediaVault is called CoreNAS:
www.corenas.org
OpenMediaVault promises to be a very useful NAS. FreeNAS was good, but Volker plans to make OMV even better.
Not zfs, BtrfsWhy so much noise with ZFS? Linux has Btrfs, which has a more solid fundation than zfs (http://lwn.net/Articles/342892/) and it's maturing and becoming stable - i'm using it as my root filesystem for the past two weeks and I haven't had any problems.
zfsI want zfs, i hope oracle will change the license to be compatible with the linux kernel.. it will give a lot of power to linux, of course until M$ catches up - which wont be long - we will soon be praising M$'s new filesystem...it will have all the features of zfs. i dont doubt.
BSD licenseThanks for the alert, originally the author wrote "compatible with BSD license", which has been corrected now.
ZFSZFS is CDDL, which is not compatible with GPL, but is with BSD. It's not BSD licensed as you say, otherwise Linux would be able to use it.

Why Read This ReportNorth American and European governments are striving for efficiency, openness, and responsiveness as their constituencies increasingly organize and mobilize using social technologies. However, governments' initiatives remain in their infancy. Forrester's recent Forrsights Workforce Employee Survey reveals government information workers lag their private sector counterparts in access to technologies and work styles — like portable technologies, advanced collaboration tools, and mature telecommuting initiatives — that can help fulfill this vision of a more participative government. To turn the tide, government Content & Collaboration (C&C) professionals must focus on the overall workplace experience and tailor solutions to meet the needs, attitudes, and behaviors of a changing government workforce.

The Sanderson is an edgy hotel with original and extravagant design by Philippe Starck. Innovative rooms feature a mostly all-white color palette designed without interior walls. There is an emphasis here on texture, seen in the layers of sheer curtains that divide different areas of the room. Design touches include carpets with Voltaire's handwriting and luxurious bathrooms, some with separate walk-in showers and freestanding soaking tubs. There are many hotel highlights beyond the rooms, including an all-white tranquil spa with 14 treatment rooms and meditation beds. A contemporary fitness room has individual TVs at cardio machines, and a billiard room features 1950s stained glass. The restaurant, Suka, serves Malaysian food, and a Mad Hatter's themed afternoon tea is served in the striking courtyard.
This boutique hotel exudes a playful rock 'n' roll vibe, thanks to extravagant details such as diamante-studded door handles and electric guitar rentals. It isn't as classy as the Metropolitan, however, and rooms are starting to show a bit of wear and tear. Celebs such as Britney Spears have been spotted here, but the Sanctum Soho mainly attracts British reality TV stars and rock star wannabees who like to party all night (the rooftop bar and Jacuzzi are open 24 hours). Since rooms are not well insulated from noise, light sleepers may prefer a more tranquil hotel.

Flagship Cinemas showcases new-release films in 11 theaters peppered across seven states, equipping each of its 103 screens with stadium seating and digital surround sound. Beyond providing family-friendly entertainment for more than 15 years, Flagship Cinemas strives to maintain a reputation as the "neighborhood theater" by ensuring each location has a presence in its surrounding community through contributions to local organizations. Flagship Cinemas also builds camaraderie with customers by offering free birthday visits and distributing fanatic cards, which guests can use to earn rewards such as free film tickets or an autographed photo of their favorite usher.
Nestled into an idyllic New England landscape, the Camden Snow Bowl's tubing hills, cross-country trails, and challenging mountain slopes entertain winter warriors of all ages and skill levels. Tracing its history back to lively community winter fests in the '30s, the Snow Bowl's rugged hillsides, glassy ponds, and primeval pine forests have entertained thousands of rosy-cheeked visitors over the years. If visitors make it 1,300 feet up Ragged Mountain, they'll also be rewarded with a view of the Atlantic Ocean.
Today, the Ragged Mountain Recreation Foundation ensures that sustainable development practices help future generations enjoy the Snow Bowl's slopes, tracks, parklands, and resort areas for years to come. Adults and kids alike learn their way around the powder during skiing and snowboarding lessons, preparing them to explore the park's four chair lifts, 400-foot toboggan chute, and 850 feet of vertical ski slopes. After winter's chill dies away and the snow machines go on summer break, hikers, boaters, and other adventurers arrive at Ragged Mountain to mountain bike across rustic trails, fish in Hosmer Pond, and find cool unmatched ski gloves just lying around for free.

Shaking hands with a starfish, choreographing a puppet show, and drafting a system of roads and bridges in a single day no longer requires a college degree or being a Nickelodeon executive's son. At Children's Discovery Museum, hands-on, informative exhibits engage kids' bodies and minds, meting out a palpable understanding of the world under the guise of role playing and interactive fun.
Children can introduce themselves to their coastal counterparts in the Touch Tank for Kids, where crabs scuttle and sea cucumbers swim away from predatory pickle jars. A bona fide Maine campground, equipped by L.L.Bean with tents, backpacks, and live animals, makes a great stomping ground for active legs and imparts the importance of conservation. A functional theater provides a venue for young directors to stage puppet shows and musicals, and bank counters and restaurant kitchens spark imaginative scenarios as kids learn the basics of counting change, preparing healthy meals, and coercing ketchup out of glass jars.
Sensei Kevin Webb, the head instructor at Martial Arts Institute, holds a sixth-degree black belt in goju ryu karate and a fifth-degree black belt in Okinawan kobudo. These did not come easy, and Sensei Webb has been training to this advanced level since the early '80s. Now the senior student of his master, Hiroji Kuniyoshi, Sensei Webb has been honored with the task of preserving the traditions of goju ryu here in the States.
During youth and adult classes, Webb and his team of instructors first teach the martial art's more aggressive tactics, referred to as "go". These include blocks, punches, and kicks. The instructors then teach the equally important soft aspect of their art, known as "ju" tactics, which incorporate breathing and other fluid movements. Through these lessons, the Martial Arts Institute is also giving their students the skills for further self-improvement and discipline.
Mrs. Kelleen Longfellow, a piano instructor with a master's degree in education, teaches students of all ages to tickle the ivories with the ascending-chord progressions commonly found in churches and gospel music. She constantly practices this approach, since she also serves as administrative pastor for the First Baptist Church of Hallowell. Students can learn to play jazz piano or develop skills in classical music in order to justify wearing a powdered wig to bed.

Tuesday, I pointed out that, historically speaking anyway, there's been no special advantage for a World Series team that swept its League Championship Series, as the Tigers did this year. Which isn't the same as saying the Tigers don't have one or more other advantages.
First, though, it's only fair to mention that neither of these clubs was a powerhouse this season. The Giants finished with the fifth-best run differential in the National League, the Tigers with the seventh best in the American League. Both teams added an every-day second baseman during the season, and both sparked their clubs down the stretch. The Tigers also added a fine starting pitcher in Anibal Sánchez, while the Giants stuck with their same starting five all season long. The Giants did add Hunter Pence to their lineup, but he didn't nearly make up for the loss of Melky Cabrera (even if the Giants actually scored more runs without Cabrera than with him).
Both teams finished sixth in their leagues in scoring, but that's a little misleading because the Tigers played half their games in a pretty good hitter's park -- relative to their league, anyway -- while the Giants played half their games in a really tough park for hitters. On balance, it's difficult to avoid the conclusion that the Giants actually hit better than the Tigers this season.
Unfortunately for the Giants, they are not at all built for the games in Detroit. There will be a Designated Hitter in those games, and the Giants' options against Detroit's all-righty rotation are essentially limited to switch-hitting Héctor Sánchez and lefty-hitting Aubrey Huff. The only problem there is that neither of those guys have hit much lately, and by lately I mean in the calendar year 2012. Or '11. Unless you count Sánchez's Spring 2011! in the California State League.
The good news for the Giants is that they can stack their lineup against all the Tiger righties; leaving aside those lousy DH options, they will have five switch- or left-handed hitters in their lineups, with the only exceptions being Buster Posey, Hunter Pence, and Marco Scutaro.*
* By the way, if you're interested in betting on a sure thing, bet that Scutaro's run, which is now nearly three months long, will hit a wall against the Tigers' starting pitchers. Great story, but nothing lasts forever.
All that said, the Giants actually fared just as well (slightly better, actually) against left-handed pitchers as right-handed pitchers this season. On the other hand, the Giants ranked 15th in the National League in strikeouts, which might mean they're less vulnerable to the Tigers' power pitching than most teams would be. They do make contact, and they will draw their share of walks. So, they've got that going for them.
What they don't have going for them is Justin Verlander. And (again) unfortunately for the Giants, that cuts both ways. In the first game of the World Series, the best pitcher in the major leagues will start for the Tigers, while the Giants will start Barry Zito.
This season, 88 pitchers threw at least 162 innings. Among those 88, Zito ranked 82nd in Wins Above Replacement.
* That's according to FanGraphs. According to Baseball-Reference.com, Zito was 81st. Much better.
On paper, this must rank among the great Game 1 mismatches of all time.
No, they don't play the games on paper. But yes, that's where the smart money goes.
So if I told you that when the World Series started, the Giants would have to win four out of six games, what would you think? Because it's not easy. If the Tigers win Game 1, they have nine paths to three more wins. If the Giants lose Game 1, they have only six paths to four wins. And assuming that Verlander is slated for Game 5, four of those six paths include beating Verlander. With (presumably) Zito or Tim Lincecum going for the Giants. In Detroit.
There are, of course, so many wild cards in all of this. There are 50 players on the World Series rosters, and roughly 45 of them have measurable chances of turning around the Series with a brilliant or dreadful performance. Most obviously, we still don't have any idea what Jim Leyland will do with late-game leads? Will he return to José Valverde? Will he insist on deploying Phil Coke, even against the Giants' good right-handed hitters?
But the biggest wild card of all is Madison Bumgarner. During the regular season, he was just as good as Matt Cain. In his last three starts, though -- one in late September, and two in this postseason -- Bumgarner's given up 14 runs in 12 innings. He's slated for starting duties in Game 2 and, if that goes well enough, Game 6. If Bumgarner pitches like he pitched for most of 2012, the Giants have a fighting chance. If he doesn't, they're probably sunk shortly after leaving port.

Looking for a book, actually I know there were at least 2 in the series.
May have been published in the 80s. I think it was that long ago since I've read it.
Basically the first book is a fantasy murder mystery. The magic in these books is sort of an occupational magic. The first chapter starts out with a bunch of character narrations of different occupations explaining that "Balance" is the key to their magic mastery.
A baker that also has "baker magic" while "magic-ed" does all the right things, and they would make the best of all breads. An acrobat with "acrobat magic" while "magic-ed" wouldn't fall, and could jump higher and farther. Each persons magic makes them extremely better at some specialty.
The hero of the story is the youngest member of a traveling troop of acrobats that have come to a local kingdom fair. The young man doesn't seem to have the same kind of magic that his brothers have that lets them be exceptional acrobats. Later it turns out that his "magic" is the ability to tell what other peoples specific magic is when they are "magic-ed"
Someone gets killed in a second story inn room with a sword. The room was locked from the inside and it looks like only one of the acrobats while "magic" could have jump in through an open window from a neighboring tree. It looks like one of the hero's brothers has done the deed and is jailed by the king.
The hero not believing that his brother is to blame gets tasked with finding the real killer.
Not sure I've given enough information. I'll try to remember more.
I've been thinking about this book for a long time so if anyone has any suggestions on what it might be.

I had this after enjoying Brouwerij Van Steenberge's Red Ale (7%) and Old Buccaneer Reserve (9%). Like those two, the alcohol is tough to detect in this beer, especially at 11%. You do get a hint of it, but not the kick one might expect.
I poured this one in a small glass and it had a bit of head, but very little of one. Like the other two beers, it dissipated rather quickly. This beer pours a dark, golden color.
The taste is a little bitter - "smoky" my wife said. Good, drinkable and masking that 11% very well. Belgian Strong Pale Ale is a style of beer I need to become more familiar with.

Appearance Hazy orange in color with tons of sediment and carbonation. The head was a decent size, especially for such a high ABV, but it was the lively and active body that made this one gorgeous to look at.
Smell The classic Belgian spices lead off this incredible offering. The quality malt and strong orange peel are followed by a warning of alcohol. This one is a heavy hitter for sure.
Taste This is the real deal. The Belgian spices are heavy and powdery. Theres definitely some big pepper here along with coriander and maybe something black like allspice. The orange is more like a tangerine or a tangerine peel. The malt is thick and sweet but more in the background.
Mouthfeel Lightly carbonated and extremely full in the mouth. The alcohol sting is noticeable but not too much.
Drinkability This was a pleasure to consume. It went down very well and left me wanting for more.
Update I drink this from time to time so thought it would be interesting to re-review it in August 2006. What I really like about this beer is how the alcohol, hops, malts, spicing, and sweetness are balanced just to my tastes. Its a personal favorite of mine and the wonderful mouthfeel, fluffy and slightly stingy from the booze, is awesome.

11.2 oz stubby brown bottle with no freshness date, not to worry this is a bottle conditioned 11.0% alcohol by volume brew and has quite a long shelf life.
Appearance: Decent amount of the signature Brussels Lace over the hazy golden brew, quite bubbly and effervescent.
Smell: Big aroma of tropical fruit with some solvent alcohol in the back, chalk yeast and a pale honey like malt round the nose out.
Taste & Mouthfeel: Juicy up front, very smooth in the mouth. Then a slowly warming stinging alcohol unfolds with exotic fruit and big flamboyant esters. Rolling spicy tones. Mild pale malt with sweetness underneath. The bitterness is right up there, clean and cut with a touch of yeast to follow.
Notes: A big boisterous strong pale from Belgium, a lovely one at that. A stiff veined cheese would be a great pairing to pit against this brew.

11.2 ounce, stubby Belgian bottle, with no freshness dating. Liquid is a dulled golden, cloudy, lifting a snow white head which leaves widely scattered lacing. Nose is flowery and herbal. This is a very flavorful and strong (11%) brew. Alcohol up front and noticable, this is a beer my wife has one sip of, declares it to be "rocket fuel" and wonders how I can enjoy such stuff...oh well maybe she'll get it someday...Notes of juniper, medicine, spice,bubblegum, yeasty phenolics, very tasty stuff, packs a kick, Belgian lovers delight.

330mL brown bottle with a happy pirate on it, and surprisingly no best before date on it - I thought this was compulsory in Australia?
Pours nicely with a pillowy head, sparse sticky lacing and a dirty gold cloudy body. Head retention is good for a beer of this strength.
Has that unique Belgian Strong Pale Ale candied sugar sweetness to it. Faint gentle hops, otherwise difficult to identify any particular aromas. Typical of the style but not otherwise remarkable.
Strong alcohol dryness imperfectly complemented by excessive sweetness. While I like a lusciously sugary sweet Belgian ale as much as the next enthusiast, this one has seemed to overstep the accepted limit of alcohol strength and make up for it by packing it with honeyish, cane sugar sweetness. However, the alcohol and bubbles create a nice sensation in the stomach, so I'll be more favourable with this beer from now on. There is some flavour that reminds me of a flower garden for some reason. Maybe it's that springtime pollen smell, like you get on wattle trees at this time of year (for Aussies' benefit). Otherwise, the sweetness keeps making me think I'm eating honeycomb and drinking diluted ethanol... which I guess is what this is really. A bit strong but definitely nice.
Mouthfeel is a little unbalanced, because of the drying alcohol, but the creaminess is nice. I like the idea of this beer and would like to give it extra marks but the mouthfeel and drinkability are not its redeeming features. Mouthfeel - a bit rough, especially considering other pale ales that are a bit like it, such as Bieres de Garde and Saisons. Stomachfeel is good on this beer, and I appreciate that... the aftereffect is one of the great joys of beer, and not only the effect of the alcohol itself.
As for drinkability, this beer should come later in the night, because it's not bursting with flavour, and the strong ABV might numb the taste buds for future beers. I enjoyed a Maredsous 8 some time before this, and I'm glad this came second. Overall, I wish I could give this beer more marks, mainly because I like the look of the pirate on the label, but it's really not outstanding.

Pours clear gold, lots of bubbles, and a medium white head. Fruity aroma with some yeast and spice. Taste flip-flops between fruity-sweet and funky sour. One moment there is strawberry, grapes, honey, the next is a bretty funk. It was okay once you got used to it.

Appearance -pours a hazy ale colour with a white head. About 2 finger head, fairly foamy. Some good lacing. Not a lot of carbonation but some.
Smell - found the smell to be sweet based. there are nodes of banana and wheat, I can also pick up hints of a grape in there.
taste - found the taste to be a lot like the smell, banana and grapes. ther wheat is fairly well hidden. Alcohol was not a factor either, little bitterness near the end.
mouthfeel - this was ok, i found the alcohol REALLY came through. Made the beer have an extreme bitter taste, lasting as well.
drinkability - meh, not a bad beer, not something i would go after again in the future.

From a 750ml botte, pours a honey color sunburst with a golden glow. The head is thick and creamy with good retention, leaving behind sticky, amazing lace clinging to a La Chouffe tulip. Plenty of bubbles racing to the surface throughout the duration.
The aroma is delightful and warm, consisiting of light citrus, honey, caramelized sugar, cinnamon, clove, and a sublte floral characteristic.
The flavor provides citrus, strong spices, some apple and pear, honey, sugar coated malt and hops, and plenty of alcohol--burn baby burn (ABV 11 %).
The mouthfeel is tremendous: warm, bright, playful, and very complex. A riot in your mouth.
Drinkabitlity? I wouldn't drink too many at a sitting, but no one should.
My progression through one bottle was delightful. I would compare it to drinking a single malt scotch--there's an explosion of complexity and flavor, but you've got to expect a bit of a burn at the end. Enjoy the
flavor, enjoy the burn. A very solid Strong Pale Ale.

Wow...just wow...
So, I had Piraat...obviously, which is good. This one is very good.
The smell is strong, floral, hoppy... strong... and grassy.
The flavor is explosive, and clean for such a hoppy beer...
I really enjoy the light grassy, citrus bitter notes with this one.
I will get this one again.

Appearance: Golden with a vibrant white head nice sized leaves a beautiful lacing. Aroma: Rich fruit tropical tone to it hops are floral and herbal at the same time this one's a winner. Taste: The bastard child of a Kasteel XXX and a Piraat is the best way to describe this brew very malty rich and alcoholic with blends of the fruit ester tones making their way into the flavor, good stuff. Mouthfeel: Medium body syrupy texture very rich. Drinkability: Easy like a Sunday morning well it does go down way to smoothly.

Nice Belgian nose, yeasty, apples and citrus, some dustyness. Lemony and dry, some acidity, but generally, a pretty soft mouthfeel, especially for 11%. Only a hint of toilet cleaner in this one, which was relief. Also, considering the strength, it does mighty well in the balance department.

Pours a clear golden orange with an uncontrollable white head that melts to top coating sticky lacing.
Aromas of definite Belgium yeasts, Belgium candied sugars, sharp hops and alcohol.
Taste is very Belgium with golden sweet malt, candied sugar, soft tropical fruits melting to citrus hops and finishing with alcohol.
Aftertaste of tropical fruit and alcohol....nothing cloying from the sugars, but definite tropical fruits.
Ok...this isn't a GREAT Belguim...sort of a cheap one where the ingredients tell you it isn't supposed to be great, but still I like it. There may be enough of an alcohol burn and presence to make you forget about quality and just enjoy the very high class buzz.

T- Tart lemon and orange with a clove spiciness. Alcohol is very present and a bit varnishy.
M- Tart/ sour with a vaporous varnishy alc. touch slight calcium taste/feel in the end.

Pours a remarkably clear bronzed gold, with a big head that settled quickly and left a mass of lace in its wake.
A very aromatic beer, I could detect sour apples as the beer was being poured a foot from my nose. Closer up, there's still sour apple, but also pungent currants, white pepper and a big barnyard funk. Hell yeah. Milder, sweeter fruitiness works its way in if you're patient enough.
Mouthfeel begins smooth, but opens to a wild fizziness and a weird varnish-like finish. The flavor isn't as balanced or complex as the aroma promises. There a push and pull between the alcohol heat, the untamed yeastiness, peppery spices and the sweet & sour fruits. Nothing comes together that well. A mess, but somehow an enjoyable mess despite the faults. And as many times as you can say "well-hidden alcohol" about many big Belgian beers, you can't say it here. It's about as ugly as the buccaneer on the label.
But...the part of me that loves big, weird, funky, dirty, wild Belgians can get something out of this. It's just a bit too "hot" and definitely not the most attractive Belgian of its type. Van Steenberge already has the to-die-for Piraat, not sure why they bothered to dream up this bad boy.
But man, does it smell awesome.

A: yellowy pee-y bronzey colour. Lacing reasonable. 3.5
S: alcohol. Then when I smell deeper it reminds me of Chimay. Not necessarily Chimay white either. It actually reminds me of the blue. You get some creamy maltiness here also. 4
T: also reminds me of Chimay. I'm thinking blue bruised fruits here? Overripe plums in particular. Then you get a smooth golden maltiness. A lot of candi sugar. Very good, intensely flavoured beer. After reading other reviews I would also say peach juice. But not the peach in la fin du monde, this is juicy peach but not as cloyingly sweet. 4
M: The beer feels like silk in my mouth, this along with the smooth sweetness is heavenly. 4.5
D: although I'm drinking it slowly and appreciating it, you could really put this down effectively. The only things that would stop you are its sweetness and price. 4

Milky brass with a rolling white dome.
Fragrant of warm dough, hay, pine nuts, and pineapple.
Start with its raw sugar. Sweet and plain. Notions of fruit, or just something mimicking pineapple, follow. Toasted grains and peanuts materialized towards the middles. The raw sugary notion stays put all the while. Dries on the homestretch with notions of white pepper, thyme, and clove. The sugar finally caramelized late, as it closes, sweet again, with nougat and vanilla.
The mouth belies it's strength, but is also a bit abrasive with its uppity CO2. That in itself makes this drink more reasonably slow.
Solid, but not remarkable. If the potency doesn't make you forget it, you will sooner or later anyway.
It's stuck in some sort of limbo amongst the Duvel clones, the tripels, and the beers that simply strive for fat ABV numbers.

Good ingrediants all around, although disjointed together. You can smell and taste the booziness a bit, but the yeast is there. SIgnificant bitterness from the European hops which I liked, but it is drying. Malt midstream. Maybe more malts..or less. Not bad at all.

Poured from a 330mL bottle into my Bruery tulip glass.
Golden body body with radiant yellow-gold highlights. A glowing slightly cloudy mixture with a finger of light and airy merengue-like froth on top. I take pleasure in marring the perfect white page of foam by shaking out the last several drops of brown yeast sediment. Pebbly lacing brought back down rapidly by the viscous legs. Very good retention for such a high ABV.
Heady aroma of clove, oranges, red banana, sourdough, and hints of orange rhum, honey, and funk - very nicely put together. Somewhat floral, but the alcohol seems to disguise the hops to some degree.
Bitter and bready on the palate, while making no apologies about its alcohol content. Esters come next in the form of orange peel with hints of cherry, while the finish brings out some pepper and a little heat. Fairly dry overall - sort of like a hot-rodded tripel with more attenuation.
Very filling mouth-feel, the carbonation is plush and expansive lending a creaminess to offset the spice and heat. A little hot for the style yet still refreshing - though it wouldn't be wise, I could see drinking more than one of these in a session.
While not on par with the best examples of the style (lacking both relative complexity or delicacy), I think this is somewhat underrated, and might be my personal favorite of the many beers brewed by Van Steenberge...

Interestingly enough, this "pirate" beer is put out by the makers of Piraat! Its slightly-hazy golden body has an orange-ish cast; and it teems gently with streams of tiny bubbles beneath a billowy white head that holds surprisingly well given it's 11% abv; and leaves wonderful sheets of lace about the glass! It's zesty in the mouth with a medium-light body and agressive but very fine, natural carbonation. The nose is yeasty and spicy with some bubblegum/sugar; a slap of phenolics; some tropical fruit; and alcohol. Fruit (which is restrained but varied including lemon, apricot, peach, and some banana) and spice dominate the flavor over a malt that's timid. It's honeyish, but also washed with alcohol. And, in fact, it seems that this beer is all about the yeast and alcohol. It finishes dry and spicy with a splash of leafy hop flavor and a warming alcohol finish; although some mustiness comes through in the end to lend it at least a touch of character. It's far from being clean enough to be a Duvel, and not fruity and malty enough to be a Piraat.

AVONDALE, Ariz. -- The police chief in Avondale is retiring after nearly a decade with the department.
City officials announced the retirement of Kevin Kotsur on Monday.
Assistant Chief Dale Nannenga has been appointed acting chief of the West Valley city.
Nannenga is a 33-year veteran of law enforcement who has been with the department for almost 10 years.
During Kotsur's tenure, the department almost doubled to 171 employees, opened two substations and formed a community action team, which is credited with reducing crime in the city.

What's Next
While in London in late September, I attended the release of Coca-Cola Enterprises' (CCE) Sustainability Plan. Titled Deliver for Today: Inspire for Tomorrow, the plan represents a major step forward for the company. The launch was silky smooth – an in-studio event filmed at The Hospital Club in London's Covent Garden, kicked off by CCE's CEO John Brock, featuring a panel of accomplished business and NGO leaders assembled to assess the plan that was moderated by Catherine Cameron of the University of Cambridge Programme for Sustainability Leadership, and all unfolding in front of an expert audience containing the likes of Marks & Spencer Chairman Robert Swannell and Two Tomorrows Executive Chairman Mark Line.
I've just returned from a visit to Philadelphia and New York last week where I had the opportunity for in-depth conversation with students and faculty at Wharton Graduate School of Business, as well as business and thought leaders from Coca-Cola, Johnson & Johnson, SAP, Unilever, Interbrand, Ogilvy, GRI, Corporate Responsibility, SustainAbility, The Economist and many others. All of these conversations touched on how we are unfolding our thinking about, and finding ways to measure, new forms of value that business might deliver to its customers and other stakeholders in the future. Underpinning these rich and varied conversations was the growing drumbeat, launched in New York, of #occupywallstreet. This growing movement is yet another indicator of the pressure on business to demonstrate its ability to extend its focus beyond profit to other forms of value creation for broader swaths of society.
The fact that the focus of #occupywallstreet seems to center on "corporate greed" as the target of its aggregated angst is just one sign of disconnect between business and the stakeholders to whom business is supposed to be delivering value.
"We're here to put a dent in the universe." Steve Jobs
Steve Jobs has passed away at the age of 56, having transformed the way we use and think about technology. Those of us working toward a more sustainable world would be wise to pay attention to how he did it.
I was working in the mobile phone industry in January 2007, when Jobs stood up on stage and revealed the iPhone to the world. Many of my colleagues looked on unimpressed – sure it looked good, but it was too expensive, too big, too slow for internet browsing, too hard to type on… in fact too just-about-everything. The consensus seemed to be that Jobs, as an 'outsider,' just couldn't understand the complexities of the mobile landscape we all inhabited. What my colleagues missed was that Jobs wasn't looking to find his own place in that landscape; he was planning to terraform it. And terraform it he did. Five short years ago very few people outside the industry had ever heard the term "smartphone," but now it seems that every other handset you see is either an iPhone or an imitation of it.
What does all this mean for the business of sustainability? Well, Apple may not be known as a leader on environmental or social issues, but its winning formula serves as a great model for those who aspire to be. Jobs built an organisation that actively sought to shatter the status quo in every market it entered. The iPhone is just one of a number of successess – Macintosh, iTunes, iPad, and so on – that prove how a single company can really change the game if it thinks differently.
I've blogged recently on roundtable discussions that SustainAbility hosted in Washington, DC and London. We organized these sessions in order to connect some of our corporate and civil society partners in more intimate conversation than fits the conference circuit – smaller, more focused, more relaxed; all discourse, no presentation – and yet capable of creating more diversity and dynamism than possible when we only meet bi-laterally. A simple added benefit has been the experience of talking to people who are all of one place, in cities where we have offices ourselves. Our work so often takes us far afield, or into meeting environments built around destinations convenient to all but endemic to few, that it is easy to forget how both content and tone change when everyone has a common geography.

King and Dibben in GB's World Championships squad
Updated 12:59pm Wednesday 6th February 2013 in Sport
Olympic champion Dani King has been chosen in the British team for this month's Track Cycling World Championships, along with Southampton's Jon Dibben.
Hamble rider King joins Laura Trott and Elinor Barker in the women's endurance squad for the competition, held in Minsk, from February 20-24.
Dibben is included in the men's endurance side.
King and Trott were part of the women's team pursuit line-up that won gold at London 2012 last summer.
They have also claimed the team pursuit title at the last two world championships and will be favourites to do so again.
Performance director Sir Dave Brailsford said: "The first year of an Olympic cycle is always an interesting one as it gives the opportunity for our young riders to compete alongside the world's best and experience the competitive environment which is crucial for their development.
"With that in mind, the focus for the team is to perform to the best of their ability as the route to Rio firmly begins."
