3.05/5 rDev -3.2%
Better than the regular Enjuku.
Appearance - Brown with a lot of carbonation. Looks a bit like coke.
Smell - Sweet with roasted maltiness.
Taste - It's not bad. Reminds me of a blend of coffee, Guiness, and coke.
Mouthfeel - Not so pleasant. It's carbonated and not so smooth.
Drinkability - I can tollerate it for a while.

Nice dark brown body is let down by a rapidly fading off-white head. Sweet malty aroma, with some mild nut and caramel flavours going on. Taste has some cocoa and caramel sweetness and a touch of leafy hops. Fairly soft in the mouth, and with a refreshing crispness from the steady stream of bubbles. Light body and medium-high carbonation.

Well first of all, you have to understand that this is strictly not a "beer" according to Japanese definitions. If the malt content is less than 67%, then in Japan the brew is defined as a "happoshu".
In fact this beer contains less than 25% malt. Yet, it tastes malty. So, what the heck is it made from ?! Who knows ?! And I think I'd like to know. There seems to be a growing market in Japan for non-malt beers (containing e.g. Soy, non-malted barely, wheat etc), that do not attract as much tax as full malt beers. So, they are cheaper, maybe 60% or less of a beer price.
In taste terms, this one is reminiscent of a classic British Mild. But even though it is called Kuro (Black), it is not - its more like a very dark brown, as you'd see when you get near the end of the glass. Its nothing like a stout or porter, and is sweet, though not off-puttingly so, and carries a hint of caramel. Its 6%, and being used to Milds, I'd have guessed it was more like 3.6 % !!!

A-There was no head at all after a second or two, and absolutely no lacing. The color was a dark caramel deal, and overall it reminded me of coca-cola.
S-All tin and sulfur. Neither my drinking partner not myself could detect anything else.
T-Very sweet and caramely. The finish had a hint of wheat in it with a lingering and pleasurable dry sensation. Definitely a lot more adjuncts than barley in this one.
M-I'm gonna say dead average on this one. Nothing remarkable or otherwise about it.
D-Very drinkable, although I wouldn't pick it out myself. If someone stopped by with a six pack, I could finish off my half without complaining.
The big problem is that "kuro" is synonymous with stout, so a drinker looking for a creative low-malt take on stout will be very disappointed by the fact that this is "usui" like any other happoshu.

Kirin Enjuku Kuro. Another happoshu, but a strong dark one, (kuro means black). Impressive looking happoshu here. The head is similar to the pale Enjuku, fast and fizzy, but perhaps a little better retention and of course there's the nearly black body. Just translucent when held to the light, this is pretty good-looking.
Oh my god, there is something in the smell, other than adjuncts. Wait, it's probably a trick, different adjuncts. Anyway, this is not your typical Japanese near-beer! Nice, wheaty, malty smell here could possibly be mistaken for a number of other, European styles.
The taste is not so hot. Brings me back to earth, oh yeah, this is happoshu. But a pretty good one. Again, like the regular Enjuku, it's got a nice all around flavor, highly drinkable. Believe the hype! Check it out. We may have a winner here, best cheap "beer" in Japan.

Ooid Formation
About the author
Imperial College London
Ooids are spherical or ellipsoid concretions of calcium carbonate, usually less than 2mm in diameter (Donahue, 1969; Tucker and Wright, 1990). There have been examples in the Neoprotozoic of ooids that are 16mm in diameter (Sumner, 1993), but all modern ooids are 2mm or less. The interior of an ooid is usually composed of a nucleus, which is surrounded by a cortex of calcite or aragonite crystals that are arranged radially, tangentially or randomly (Figure 1). These crystals are arranged in concentric lamina. The nucleus can be a shell fragment, quartz grain or any other small fragment (including an aragonite/calcite amalgamation).
Figure 1: Two main types of ooid. An ooid with tangentially arranged crystals is shown in the left and an ooid with radially arranged crystals is on the right.
The formation of these objects has been speculated from the early 19th Century and ideas for their origin range from crinoid eggs, insect eggs to the present day explanation of precipitated layers of CaCO3 (Simone, 1981).
Recent ooids are forming today in places such as the Bahamas (Tucker and Wright, 1990; Newell et al., 1966) and Shark Bay, Australia and are all composed of aragonite.
Life Cycle
Ooids do not form continuously; instead they go through stages of growth and rest (Davis et al., 1978). Davies et al. (1978) describe the typical life cycle of a Bahamian ooid:
- Suspension Growth Phase Nuclei introduced into a suitable location, with enough turbulence to keep them in suspension and water that is supersaturated in CaCO3, will induce a short lived inorganic precipitation of calcium carbonate on their surfaces. The precipitation is stopped by crystal poisoning, which is the addition of Mg2+ or H+ onto the surface. If the proto-ooids remain in this environment the outer coating will be lost due to attrition. This means the suspension phase is short lived, but may be repeated several times.
- Temporary Resting Phase Coated nuclei resting in the marine environment will quickly equilibrate with the surrounding fluid. Removal of the 'poisonous' ions will reactivate the coated surface in such conditions. However, not all 'poisonous' ions are removed, so after several growth and temporary resting stages have been completed a third stage is required.
- Sleeping Stage A new surface is required in order to form a new coating. This membrane is probably organic in origin. Experiments show that this takes 1-3 weeks to form. The membrane forms a new, stable substratum for new CaCO3 precipitation.
The timing of these stages means that an ooid spends only 5% of its time actually growing; the rest is spent 'sleeping' (Davis et al., 1978; Bathurst, 1967).
As can be seen from the life cycle, the following factors will have an affect ooid growth: (Monoghan and Lytle, 1956; Newell, 1960; Bathurst, 1967; Davis et al., 1978; Deelman, 1978; Heller, 1980; Simone, 1981; Sumner and Grotzinger, 1993):
- Supersaturation of CaCO3
- Nuclei
- Agitation
- Location
- Water depth
The supersaturation of the seawater is of vital importance (Monoghan and Lytle, 1956). Monoghan and Lytle (1956) investigated the effect of CO3 concentration on the formation of ooids. They found that the concentration needed to be above 0.002 moles/litre and below 0.0167 moles/litre for ooids to form successfully. Below 0.002 moles/litre only aragonite needles or poor ooids formed. Above 0.0167 moles/litre the ooids formed an amorphous mass.
Other authors have stressed the importance of supersaturation, but they give no quantitative information (Bathurst, 1967; Davies et al., 1978; Simone, 1981).
The type of nuclei affects the rate of growth and the size of each lamination (Davies et al., 1978). Organic coating on the nuclei give faster and longer precipitation, while using oxidised quartz show much slower and shorter precipitation. Davies et al. (1978) show their results as a change of pH (a negative pH change is assumed to indicate precipitation), rather than growth or precipitation rates.
The agitation an ooid undergoes must be enough to keep it in suspension for the growing phase followed by removal to a non-supersaturated fluid (the rest phase) (Newell, 1960; Davies et al., 1978; Heller, 1980).
Davies et al. (1978) conducted a study using two different speeds of water current to test this: 5cm/s and 10 cm/s. The ooids were kept in suspension by this water flow, and in other experiments involving horizontal shaking and tumbling motion formed, the ooids were non-existent or more like those formed in non-agitated water in the presence of organic compounds. In all cases of different nuclei the larger water current increase precipitation rates, but the time that precipitation changed depending on the nuclei type.
Agitation may also control ooid size (Sumner and Grotzinger, 1993). As the ooid grows the mass lost per impact with another object increases as the cube of the radius. The mass gained from growth is proportional to the square of the radius. Eventually, the mass loss will equal or exceed the mass gained, limiting the size of the ooid. Sumner and Grotzinger (1993) performed numerical modelling on ooid formation. Their model gave a higher ooid radius in higher velocity flows, with a decrease that looks like an exponential or a power law with decreasing velocity (Sumner and Grotzinger, 1993, their fig 6). They did not include the impact of ooids to limit size.
The agitation can come from waves or tidal movements. Storms provide that mixing of ooids in the rest stage and those that can no longer precipitate.
There is some change in crystal orientation with the amount of agitation (Donahue, 1969). Ooids can form in quiet waters, but organic CaCO3 precipitation is needed for them to form (Suess and Fütterer, 1972). These ooids will show radial crystals. Ooids formed in agitated waters have crystals arranged tangentially. The change between suspension to bedload transport may also initiate this change (Deelman, 1978).
The location off ooid formation is important. They must be kept in the same area throughout the formation, in order that their life cycle can be completed (Simone, 1981).
Water Depth
Most ooids form in water less than 2m deep (Simone, 1981), but this may have more to do with wave agitation and tidal movements than water depth itself. Newell et al. (1960) surveyed sediment at various depths and calculated the % fraction of ooids in the sediment (Figure 2). All the sediments that are near 100% ooids are formed with 8m of the surface.
Figure 2: Variation in the percentage of ooids found in Bahamian sediment with depth. An exponential curve has been fitted (dashed line). After Newell et al. (1960).
Ooids are spherical accumulations of carbonate grains as either aragonite or calcite. They require a high level of supersaturation with respect to carbonate, the presence of nuclei and agitation. There is a relationship between the amount of ooids formed and the water depth, but this may be due to shallower water having a higher level of agitaiton. Ooids go through several stages during formation, including a sleeping phase, which may involve the use of organic material in order to initiate a new layer.

Trials & Litigation
New York lawyer sues Brooks Brothers, claims it gave him wrong suit after alterations
Posted Apr 16, 2013 8:06 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
A Manhattan personal injury lawyer claims in a lawsuit that Brooks Brothers gave him the wrong suit after he asked the store to do some alterations on his new purchase.
Robert Ginsberg is seeking $7,646, the New York Daily News reports. According to the suit, the amount represents the price of the suit ($646), the cost of his time when he argued with store personnel for 90 minutes ($2,000) and punitive damages ($5,000).
"Leave it to a lawyer to file suit over a suit," the story says.
Ginsberg says he purchased a three-button suit with a faint pinstripe in December, but when he returned to pick up the garment the store gave him a used gray jacket and pants that were two sizes too big, according to the story. He says tried returning the suit at Brooks Brothers' Liberty Street store, but store personnel refused.
Ginsberg says he brought the suit home in January but he didn't discover the mix-up until last month when he opened the garment bag to try on the clothing.
David Rees, the manager of the Liberty Street store, told the New York Daily News that Ginsberg should contact him and he would be happy to help.
Ginsberg was previously in the news when he sued American Airlines for $2 million after he argued with a flight attendant. Ginsberg had claimed he tried to move a food cart to get around it and the flight attendant pushed him into it. Police detained Ginsberg after the flight landed and he was barred from boarding another flight. A federal judge dismissed the case, saying Ginsberg caused the incident by refusing to follow the flight attendants' orders and he had no damages, the story says. The case is on appeal.

Isidro Lopez - vocals and alto sax with accompaniment by his orchestra - unless otherwise noted.
Isidro "El Indio" Lopez (his father was a full-blooded Apache Mescalero from New Mexico) is one of the founding "fathers" of Tejano Music. He began to record in the late 1940s with Narciso Martinez, Tony De La Rosa, and Eugenio Gutierrez's Orchestra for the pioneering, regional IDEAL recording company. His appealing, smooth yet emotional voice, charismatic personality, and superb saxophone work soon made him very popular and encouraged him to front his own, distinctly hot Tejano dance orchestra. Isidro Lopez in no time became the brightest star on the emerging Tejano music scene. This CD contains 15 more early hits recorded at the height of his long career.
1.Traigo Mi 45 (Ranchera) & his orchestra
2.Al Ver Que Te Vas (Ranchera) & Mariachi Ideal
3.Como Arbol Torcido (Ranchera) & his orchestra
4.Amor Perdido (Bolero) & his orchestra
5.Alejate (Ranchera) with Conjunto Ideal de Amadeo Flores
6.Cuartro Vidas (Bolero) with Mariachi Ideal
7.Andando En La Parranda (Ranchera) & his orchestra
8.Descupaste Mi Carino (Bolero) with Conjunto Ideal
9.Donde Estas (Rock N' Roll) & his orchestra
10.Echame A Mi La Culpa (Ranchera) & his orchestra
11.Mi Rosita (Polka Ranchera) & his orchestra
12.Mi Soldadita (Bolero) & his orchestra
13.Por Tu Carino (Polka Ranchera) with conjunto Norteno
14.Sabor A Mi (Bolero) & his orchestra
15.Nunca Creas (Ranchera) with Mariachi Ideal
"The great Tejano innovator Isidro Lopez died in August of 2004, so it seems fitting that a second volume of his hits — 15 More Original Hits — was released later the same year. All of these selections have been taken from the recordings Lopez made for IDEAL between 1954 and 1964, capturing the singer/saxophonist in his prime. Lopez is accompanied by fairly large arrangements, featuring horns, strings, and accordion in various combinations, but his penetrating vocals — smooth, romantic, and deeply felt — are always front and center. There are fun songs like "Andando en la Parranda," which vacillates between uptempo instrumental sections and slower-paced vocal segments, and simple romantic-styled fare like "Desocupaste Mi Carino." There are fun throwaways like "Mi Rosita" and laid-back fare like "Mi Soldadita." While one might guess that IDEAL chose material they believed would be popular, the songs on 15 More Original Hits never succumb to the cheesy production values one finds with a number of more mainstream bandleaders like Henry Mancini during the '60s. For anyone wishing to trace the roots of Tejano music, or perhaps just pick up an enjoyable collection of well-played and sung songs by Lopez, 15 More Original Hits is a fine place to start."

Woodworth, Rays Fall in Gulf Coast League Championship
CLEAR WATER, Fla. – Former FGCU starting pitcher and 2010 Atlantic Sun All-Conference first team selection Pete Woodworth (Tampa, Fla./Chamberlain HS) finished up his first professional season with the Gulf Coast League (GCL) Rays on Thursday night, as they fell to the Phillies, 10-4, in game three of the league championship.
The Rays took game one, 4-1, before the Phillies took game two, 6-3, to force the third and deciding game.
Woodworth made one relief appearance in the GCL Championship, tossing 2.1 scoreless innings with three strikeouts in game two. For the year, the righty worked 28.1 innings over 18 relief appearances. Woodworth finished with a 1-1 record, 2.24 ERA, one save and 29 strikeouts. He struck out multiple batters in his last seven appearances and gave up a run in five of 18 outings.
Woodworth went 9-2 with a 5.31 ERA over 84.2 innings of work en route to helping FGCU claim its third consecutive conference regular season title in 2010. Woodworth ranked third on the team with 67 strikeouts. Woodworth went six or more innings in 11 of 14 starts, including six outings that had a pitch-count over 100.
Woodworth finished his four-year career with a 25-9 record to tie the program record for wins. He also finished second all-time in strikeouts with 261 behind teammate and current Chicago White Sox reliever Chris Sale (288). A native of Tampa, Fla., Woodworth worked 272.2 innings over 61 appearances, including 39 starts. Woodworth ranks in the top-3 in each of the previously mentioned stats.

Colchester Castle Museum to reopen this May
4:20pm Tuesday 4th February 2014 in News
ONE of Colchester's biggest tourist attractions will reopen on May 2 following a £4.2 million overhaul.
Colchester Castle Museum will now feature new displays and artefacts while offering visitors a greater impression of what life was like in Europe's biggest surviving Norman Keep.
The museum has been closed since March 2013 while the revamp, funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, the European Union, Colchester Council, the Arts Council and local groups, takes place.
Robyn Llewellyn, lottery fund head for the east, said: "Colchester Castle is one of the finest surviving Norman buildings in Britain, a Scheduled Ancient Monument and Grade I listed.
"We are delighted to see the opening of the refurbished museum in sight, and look forward to the reinterpretation of some the most fascinating stories in our Island's history."

Visiting the Castle cost £6.25 for adults and £4.00 for children. Yet across the road stands the free to enter Firstsite, which attracted a claimed 147,000 visitors to its year-end, along with annual grants of £850,000 from the Arts Council and £150,000 from Colchester Borough Council.
On 21st November 2013 Colchester Council announced it was cutting their funding to Firstsite by 15% to help maintain frontline services. Then on the 19th January 2014 it was announced in the Essex County Standard that Firstsite had just been awarded a further £292,500 to help boost tourism to Essex - despite their visitor numbers falling by 25,000 in their second year of operation.
Firstsite's story is an interesting one, it opened on the 25th September 2011 at a cost of £22,450,000 and can boast, 5,446 twitter followers and 319,000 visitors during its first two years.
Compare that to Turner Contemporary, the art gallery in Margate which also opened in 2011. The Turner Contemporary was designed by David Chipperfield, cost £12,937,000 to build and on its second birthday had attracted 850,000 visitors and 36,500 twitter followers despite a population of only 61,223 and an annual arts council grant of £570,000.
Given that one can achieve remarkable things on less money, as the Turner Contemporary have proven, it would seem to make sense for Colchester Borough Council to open the Castle (which receives no Arts Council funding) for free when it re-launches this spring and instead allow Firstsite to introduce an admissions charge.
Perhaps then Colchester Castle could attract even more people to this beautiful and historic town, where they might decide to spend their money in our shops, hotels and restaurants.

Although no one mentions the real reason for closure, the inside building from 1960's has concrete cancer and needed replacing before the roof fell in.

A pair of big tests heading into spring break for JU
Related Links
Riding the high of a five-game win streak and an 11-game home winning streak, the JU women's lacrosse team faces one of its crossroads tests the next two games.
The Dolphins won't get much time to enjoy next week's spring break as highly regarded Louisville invades D.B. Milne Field Saturday at noon followed three days later with a visit from nationally-ranked Cornell.
Louisville, which has beaten JU in their two meetings, comes in at 2-4 but two of their losses were to ranked teams – No. 1 Northwestern and No. Vanderbilt. They are led by Nikki Boltja and Jamie Redding who have combined for 38 goals this season.
"Louisville is a well-respected team and they've come out strong against us the last two years,'' JU coach Mindy McCord said.
"We always love the great competition when we play them.'' The Cardinals won 17-7 last year in Cumming, Ga., and 21-9 in the Dolphins' first year in 2010.
McCord said she isn't one to start getting hung up on a team's previous efforts.
"In any game you have an opportunity,'' she said. "We try not to compare other scores we really try to put our game plan together that we feel will be appropriate for each opponent and stay focused on that.''
If having Louisville come calling weren't enough, Tuesday Cornell, which is on the receiving votes list in the coaches poll this week and ranked 16th in the Inside Lacrosse poll, is in town.
"You try to stay focused on one game at a time,'' McCord said. "We feel very fortunate to be bringing two great programs that are doing well in here and give us an opportunity to compete against them. We always feel the better the opponent the more we have an opportunity to learn and we hope to put our best foot forward and execute our game plan.''
The Dolphins have some firepower of their own in a trio of sophomores who score goals in bunches.
Attackers Jen Cosgrove and Ali Hoffman lead the way with 14 goals each and now have last year's top freshman scorer nationally, Morgan Derner, back from injury. Derner was shut out in her first game back on March 7 against Temple but had a hat trick last week against Monmouth. The Temple game ended a nine-game goal scoring streak for Derner which at the time was a school record.
That mark now has been taken over by sophomore midfielder Kaitlin Stewart who has recorded a goal in 11 consecutive games.
Jess Hotchkiss leads the team in ground balls with 16 while Morgan Basler has 12 and Hoffman 10.

Benjamin Franklin once said: "…in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes". Bear this in mind when heading out the door with you guitar amplifier, especially if it is a vintage tube amp. Tubes are fragile things that will age and are liable to blow when you least expect them to. The lifespan of the tube varies according to the type of tube (pre- or power- amp) and how loud and overdriven your guitar sound is.

The Register-News
---- — Jerry F. Lyle, 79, of Fleming Island, Fla., died at 10:18 a.m. Sunday, June 9, 2013, at his home.
Funeral services will be at 2 p.m. Friday at Hardage-Giddens The Oaklawn Chapel at 4801 San Jose Blvd. in Jacksonville, Fla. , with Pastor William (Bill) Register officiating. Visitation will be after 6 p.m. on Thursday at the funeral home. Interment will be in Hardage-Giddens Oaklawn Cemetery in Jacksonville, Fla.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his memory to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
Jerry was born on Aug. 30, 1933, in Mt. Vernon, to Robert B. and Elsie M. (Smithpeters) Lyle. He married Shirley Elizabeth Riley, who survives him, on Sept. 14, 1956, in Mt. Vernon.
In addition to his wife, he is also survived by two daughters and a son-in-law, Cheryl and Jeff Davis of Fleming Island, Fla. and Denise Lyle of Orange Park, Fla.; two grandchildren, Stephanie (Brandon) Taylor of Jacksonville, Fla. and Steven Davis of Fleming Island, Fla.; a sister, Delores Powell of Mt. Vernon; and a nephew, Larry (Sharon) Powell of Mahomet.
He was preceded in death by his parents, two brothers and one sister.
Mr. Lyle served his country proudly in the Air Force during the Korean War. He retired from CSX Transportation in 1992, after 31 years in the railroad industry. He was a very special husband, father, grandfather and friend to everyone he met. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by everyone whose life he touched.
Hardage-Giddens The Oaklawn Chapel, 4801 San Jose Blvd. is serving the family.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick failed to provide his fantasy owners with any touchdowns against the Arizona Cardinals, but he did throw two interceptions. In addition to those negative points, Vick completed just 16-of-34 passes for 128 yards. Vick did help owners by rushing for 79 yards, though he couldn't find the end zone that way either.
Going into the Cardinals game, Vick was trying to change around what had been a subpar first half of his season -- both for his actual team and those that were counting on the quarterback for fantasy points. Vick hadn't been living up to his first-round status as he'd thrown 11 touchdowns compared to nine interceptions.
His match-up against Arizona wasn't expected to yield huge fantasy numbers for Vick considering they had been giving up just 18 points to quarterbacks entering this week. Part of that is due to teams being able to use their running game to sustain a lead against the Cardinals, but it didn't exactly bode well for Vick entering Sunday's game.

Narragansett, R.I.(AP) — Marine scientists say a strange rise and fall in the water of Narragansett Bay earlier this month was a small tsunami.
Chris Kincaid, an assistant professor at the University of Rhode Island's School of Oceanography, tells the Providence Journal the June 13th anomaly likely was caused by a derecho, a straight line of thunderstorms out at sea that caused the pressure over the ocean to suddenly drop.
The tsunami hit at about 4 p.m. Eric Collins, general manager of the Pleasant Street Marina, says the water level in Wickford Harbor went up and down a couple of feet over a period of 20 minutes.
Charles Ebersole, a steward at the Wickford Yacht Club, says the current caused boats to rip a cleat and some stanchions from the docks.

This is by far the best image viewer program I've ever used! It's insanely fast, extremely minimal and well designed, and can open just about any kind of image file. It does everything I want it to with absolutely no fuss! If I were to offer one critique, it is that this program needs a configuration window. Editing a text file just doesn't cut it.
This is the absolute best program I have ever used to view and maintain my photo collections. It's just so fast and easy to use, simply perfect for me. This program is so awesome I created an account on sourceforge just to rate it. Beautiful job.
Optimal for eyes and photo management
Thank you for labor; this app is fastest,quality, small,quite simply, using and functional but not support printing document. This program is latest version added please printing documents. I wish you success. Thanks again. Best Regards.
Clean, fast, and easy to tweak via the UI or better yet in the well commented config file! PERFECT for viewing a series of images in glorious full screen, without giving up ANY of your tools/ options, much less ALL of your tools/ options as is the norm. After at least a decade I finally took the top 4 or 5 image file associations from my beloved Irfanview! Many thanks..

Ross's charity match will fund screening session
12:00pm Wednesday 7th May 2014 in News
A MAN who started raising money for charity after losing his sister to an undiagnosed heart condition, hit his cash target by organising a charity football match.
Ross Kerwood, 21, lost sister, Jenny, in 2012 to Bland- White-Garland syndrome, a rare heart condition which affects one person in 300,000.
She was just 22.
He organised a football match and fete at Billericay Town FC on Saturday to raise money for the charity, Cardiac Risk in the Young, raising £2,080 as the team he picked for the event beat Team Olly 2-0.
The proceeds of the match will be pooled with £5,500 raised by Tim Butt, who cycled around South America for the charity.
The cash will fund a heart screening session for local people at the club's Blunts Wall Road ground later this year.

TYLER, Texas (AP) - An East Texas sheriff's deputy has been accused of selling methamphetamine and crack cocaine while on duty.
Smith County sheriff's Deputy Kimbrick Bernard Jones has been charged with two counts of narcotics distribution. He was arrested early Wednesday at the Smith County Jail sallyport.
At a news conference, Sheriff Larry Smith said officers found drugs in Jones' patrol car, Jones was advised of the charges and he was terminated.
Jones was turned over to federal authorities for prosecution. If convicted, the 38-year-old Tyler man could receive up to 20 years in prison for each drug count and at least five years in prison for a firearms count.
A spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney's office said she did not know where Smith was being detained or if he has an attorney.

A welcome respite in traveling!
During our family's 7 week road trip up and down The East Coast, we were lucky to book this home for 3.5 weeks. We picked it for it's central location to New England and the beautiful lake view. All communication with the owner was good. She was able to accommodate us for the dates we needed and accommodate a few of our other needs. We were in text communication with the owner until we arrived and she toured us through the home. She explained the "interesting" water situation and care of the home. She also said she would pick up the trash later in the week. We really loved the view of the lake, even though it was winter, it was lovely there. The game room was a hit with the kids in the family as they found countless games to play and I was able to shut the door for peace and quiet. I enjoyed curling up in the living room near the fire and big windows. The home had plenty of books to read. The kitchen is fabulously stocked with everything I needed to cook. There was plenty of appliances, spices, and sundry items available. I did miss my dishwasher, but it was awesome in every other aspect. The bathrooms were well stocked with towels and any toiletries you might have forgotten. It was a little cramped only having one shower in the home, but the additional half bath helped out (loved the heated floors in the half bath!). The location was a bit far from a lot of places. Everywhere took over 20 minutes to get to, up to an hour. The Walmart and grocery store are nearby though. Would I stay here again? Absolutely. I would love to be able to swim in that lake!!!
Mid-Winter Memories
My family and I are most fortunate to have spent the long Presidents' Day weekend at this comfortable, inviting home. Happy Times indeed! From the moment you view this private home, nestled at the end of a charming lakeside road, you are pleased. It is even better when you enter the well cared for property. There are the "creature comforts" but the home beckons you to sit and enjoy the ever- changing,wonderful lake vistas from so many seating areas! My family and I enjoyed the wonderful dining table for enjoyable meals and many fun board games! There are many spots for family gatherings and for some quiet time, as well. if you want to venture out, there is much to do in the neighboring towns. From shopping to snow sports, everything is just a short drive away. The owners are most considerate and pleasant to work with. One of our nights was quite stormy & windy and yet we felt protected and safe in this very sturdily built home! We look forward to a return visit and we thank the Owners for allowing us to share their beautiful, lakeside retreat!

Online petitions are not part of the legal process
Arnold Schwarzenegger, I guess you're getting pretty sick of these petitions. But that's what I want to talk to you about. I would just like to remind you that online petitions are hardly the best evidence on which to make legal decisions. After all, if all public decision-making was handed over to people on the Internet, then Chuck Norris would be President. No offence. Thanks

- Harry Potter The Deathly Hallows Part 1 Poster
Harry Potter The Deathly Hallows Part 1 Review:
- Never mind the feeling you have as you walk out of the theater after seeing "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1". It is completely normal. It's what happens when you see a movie and the bad guys pretty much win. To make matters worse, there are a few things that could potentially leave you with another feeling. The best way I could describe it is that it's like going to a great restaurant and having some delicious soup, an amazing salad, and then right when you expect the big juicy steak entree to come out, well, that's when the lights turn on and they tell you to go home
- Unfortunately, the best thing that the first part of a two part tale such as "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" has going for it is also its worst. While being completely entertained and enjoying the movie, the truth starting creeping up on on me the further we went. They are going to stop aren't they? At some point, this movie will end and I'll be left hanging for another eight months
- So what is the best and worst part? The fact that the creators of this beautifully crafted movie have taken the time, effort, and energy to break up an extremely long book into two movies because they felt that they needed the time. This is fantastic because in perhaps a year's time, I'll be able to sit down and watch Part 1 and Part 2 back to back, creating what I'm sure is will be an up and down five hour thrill ride. However, those same creators have left me desperately wanting more this very night, almost making me think less of the movie. That is what makes this terrible
- It's just that as a fan of the movies, this is the first time one has ended and I felt like there just needed to be something more. Don't get me wrong, this is a very entertaining movie. However, it may only be entertaining to someone like me, who would watch a movie with these characters if they only sat and watched paint dry. It would probably be a frustrating bore to people who are not really into the story so far
- It's difficult to summarize a movie like this as you have to be expected to know what has happened in seven previous films. Basically, Harry, Hermione, and Ron, for the first time in the franchise, do not go to Hogwarts. Instead, the three of them embark on a quest to find several mysterious objects called Horcruxes, which hide pieces of the big baddie Voldemort's soul. Once these Horcruxes are destroyed, only then can Harry fight and kill Voldemort as he is destined to do. Along the way, there are some very genuine thrills, some unexpected scares, plenty of humor, and lots and lots of heart
- At the center of all of these movies are the characters, Harry, Hermione, and Ron. In fact, my least favorite part of the movie was when the threesome was broken up for a short time. This really is a testament to how fantastic Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint have been in these roles. Considering they've been playing them since they were small children, they can probably step into these characters in their sleep. Can you even imagine how terrible these movies would have been had Warner Brothers not completely hit the jackpot on all three of these young actors?
- There is no doubt that if "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1″ is your first foray into this wizardly world, you will not like it. Director David Yates and writer Steven Kloves don't try to explain away why there are seven people disguising themselves as Harry Potter. Actually, they don't even worry if you ask, "Who are these people and why do we care?" It's apparent that this movie, more so than any of the others, was made specifically for fans of the movie franchise. It may even have been made with the idea that everyone in the audience has read the book. To be honest, this final book has so much build-up towards the climatic battle at Hogwarts that filling this movie with backstory would be an injustice to those that have been there from day one
- So we all have to wait until July of next year for the final chapter of this fantastic tale. If Part 2 continues the tension, drama, and thrills of Part 1, then there is really no way it can disappoint. In fact, the only reason I left "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1″ disappointed is because July seems so damn far away
- The poster will be shipped rolled in a cardboard tube
- The movie poster's size is optional
Package Included:
- 1 x Harry Potter The Deathly Hallows Part 1 Movie Poster

Moody's: Physical stores key to retailers' online growth strategy

Users of popular social media must learn to think before they post, tweet
Social media has seemingly consumed the general public.
Sometimes beyond belief.
Most times it's as harmless as reading a stunning announcement moments after someone feels the need to update everyone on their status — as they're washing their car or eating a ham sandwich.
But sometimes, sadly, it goes much further into a realm of bullying and even criminal behavior.
Unfortunately, many users of the relatively new phenomenon of social media do not think before they post or tweet.
This week, Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine demanded an end to threatening postings on Twitter aimed at a girl who was raped by two high school football players.
The girl essentially became a victim once again.
Two of her peers, ages 15 and 16, were accused of posting threatening tweets Sunday following the conviction and sentencing of two Ohio boys for raping the 16-year-old West Virginia girl after a party.
They are charged with intimidation of a victim, telecommunications harassment and aggravated menacing.
"What's sad particularly to me is that the victim has had to go through the rape, the aftermath of the rape, the trial, and she continues to be victimized on the social media," DeWine pointed out.
This should serve as a stark reminder for kids that they can't use Facebook, Twitter and other social media to bully and threaten.
Lots of kids, and even some adults, think that what they do on social media outlets is above the law and they can't be held responsible for anything they post.
They are wrong.
This event should send the message that the authorities can — and will — take action if postings get out of line.
We're glad that law enforcement and the Ohio Attorney General jumped on this and we hope it happens more when people, including juveniles, step over the line.
"People have the right to express their point of view, and they have the right to be stupid, and they have the right to be wrong, but they don't have the right under Ohio law to threaten to kill someone," DeWine added.
Cyber bullying and responsible use of social media are new items for parents, school officials and the general public to be concerned about.
While the world has seemingly gotten a lot smaller as information blazes along at lightning speed via the Internet, we must find ways to effectively communicate and use technology to benefit our homes — not harm others.
As we push the "post" or "tweet" button and broadcast our thoughts to potentially thousands, if not millions readers, take time to think about the ramifications of that post. Some social media experts even suggest to "never post emotionally."
We must make the parameters clear and monitor use for individuals under our care.
We encourage everyone to take this opportunity to have a frank talk with their children or grandchild about responsible social media use.

We can now tell you the name of the Charlevoix county man who police say lit a pick-up truck on fire.
Police arrested Robert Cronk over the weekend, for arson last week in Boyne City.

It happened exactly a week ago, around 12:30 in the morning.
The fire destroyed the truck, and damaged another vehicle parked next to it.
Besides arson, Cronk is charged with obstruction of justice, malicious destruction of property, and for providing alcohol to minors.
