Jinjuseong Fortress, which is historically linked to the Japanese invasion in 1592, was originally named Geoyeolseong Fortress during the Three Kingdom Period, later renamed as Chokseokseong Fortress in the Goryeo Dynasty and finally settled as Jinjuseong Fortress in the Joseon Dynasty. The reinforced stonewall has a circumference of approximately 1,760m, 5m-8m in height and contains three wells and springs. According to Ha Ryun's Seongmungi in Donggukyeojiseungnam Record, the castle had been frequently destroyed by the Japanese invasion and was later reinforced by Jinju's minister, Kim Jung-gwang during the fifth year of Goryeo Woo King's reign (1379). During this period, the circumference was 800 bo(pace), with Uijeongmun Gate to the east, Jijemun Gate to the north, and Yehwamun Gate to the south. Outside the castle, Cheongcheon River flows in the west and Namgang River in the south and a pond lies between the castle and the trench dug during the war times. As a fortress to safeguard from the Japanese attacks, it blocked the Japanese from advancing toward Honam during the 25th year of Joseon Seonjo King's reign (1592). Within the temple lies Chokseoknu, Kim Shi-min Memorial, Uigisa Shrine, Seojangdae, Bukjangdae, Changyeolsa shrine, Jinju National Museum, Hoguksa Temple, and an outdoor stage.

Pesto Rice Salad
This salad can be served warm as a first course and it's extremely good as an accompaniment to fish or chicken main course dishes. Served cold it makes a lovely addition to a selection of salads for a buffet. If you can get Pecorino Romano for the pesto it has a more gutsy flavour than Parmesan but, if you can't, Parmesan will do well. Vegetarians might like to know that a vegetarian parmesan-style cheese is available from www.bookhamcheese.co.uk
Serves 4-6
|Need help with conversions?
This recipe is taken from Delia Smith's Summer Collection and Delia's Vegetarian Collection.
To make the pesto sauce, if you have a blender, put in the basil, garlic, pine nuts and olive oil together with some salt and blend until you have a smooth purée.
Then transfer the purée to a bowl and stir in the grated Pecorino cheese. If you don't have a blender, use a large pestle and mortar to pound the basil, garlic and pine nuts to a paste.
Slowly add the salt and cheese, then very gradually add the oil until you have obtained a smooth purée.
Now measure the rice into a glass measuring jug, then add about one quarter of the pesto sauce to it and stir it around to coat all the grains.
Tip the mixture into a shallow saucepan or frying pan with a lid and pour the boiling stock into the jug, then pour this over the rice.
Now turn on the heat and stir with a wooden spoon, adding 1 level teaspoon of salt.
Then, when it begins to boil, put the lid on, turn the heat down to low and let the rice cook for exactly 20 minutes.
As soon as it's ready, tip all the rice into a serving bowl, then simply pour in the lemon juice, olive oil and the remaining pesto sauce.
Combine the ingredients together, stirring and tossing. At this stage taste and season with salt and pepper.
Finally scatter some torn basil leaves, finely chopped spring onion and then some shavings of Parmesan over the surface of the salad as a garnish.
If you want to serve the salad cold, add the basil, onion and Parmesan just before serving.

again, a lot of very smart scientists with significant institutional backing
have spent a lot of time and a lot of money coming up with brainless conclusions
and age-old solutions.
this case, after spending millions of dollars over 10 years in 10 different
cities, a team of well-credentialed researchers backed by the National Institute
of Child Health and Human Development have "discovered" that children who spend
over 30 hours per week in day care are more likely than children who spend less
than 10 hours a week with someone "other than their mother" to be at the upper
range of normal when it comes to aggressive behavior.
fix-it for this fearful fact is, of course, Mom. If more Moms stayed home with
their kids, more kids would be better behaved, say the researchers. The fact
that we need researchers to do this bit of knee-jerk finger-pointing only tells
us how much we're willing to pay these days for expert-generated,
science-cloaked myth – in this case, the misogynistic idea that whatever is
wrong with our kids is Mom's fault. Of course, there is a "positive" side to day
care in that kids who spend more preschool hours away from their Moms seem to
have better language skills and are more kindergarten-ready when that time
comes. In that case, Moms are to blame for selfishly keeping their kids at home
when they could be off at preschool fine-tuning their kindergarten-readiness
Either way, it is mothers' choices that cause their children to come out dumb or
mean – an idea that is, to put it simply, dumb and mean. Just look around at how
dumb and mean so many of our institutions are – our mass media, our welfare
policies, our school systems, our work life, the consumer pressures we face –
and then explain how the most underpaid, overworked, and least respected among
us (that is, mothers) merit the most responsibility for the fact that some kids
"talk too much" and occasionally "get in fights."
look at what the research says.
Children who stay home with their Moms have a 6 percent chance of being somewhat
more aggressive while their counterparts in day care have a 17 percent chance of
same. Interestingly, the behavior of the day care kids exactly "mirrors what we
see in the population at large," according to Deborah Vandell, one of the
researchers on the project (Boston Globe, April 26, 2001). So, kids in day care
are simply getting a head start acting the way they'll act for the rest of their
lives. Maybe something about our day cares, schools, work places, etc. causes 17
percent of us to be a little on edge, aggressive, even cruel. If those numbers
are a problem, what should we do? Stay at home with Mom forever in order for 11
percent of the population to not develop these admittedly "normal" attributes?
Do adults who live with their mothers exhibit fewer bullying behaviors? If they
did, would that represent a solution to the problem? Of course not. But when we
see the "normal" population-wide statistics played out among preschoolers, we
use it as an opportunity to tell Mom to STAY HOME!
kind of guilt-tripping coercion is important because – Surprise! Surprise! —
most Moms don't want to stay home with children. Three out of four said they
would rather work. Add most Moms' desires to the low wages most families
generate, and you find that the stay-at-home-Mom solution is not possible. Even
if it meant that preschoolers would be somewhat less aggressive, any gains in
that direction would flitter away as soon as they joined the non-Mom-centered
population, also known as kindergarten, followed by the rest of their lives.
thus far the research tells us that Moms should ignore their inclinations and in
all likelihood their financial needs, and stay at home with their preschoolers
in order for approximately 11 percent of those offspring to temporarily be
marginally better behaved.
Speaking anecdotally and as a non-expert, mandates like these are enough to make
a Mom develop a twitch. My own personal study shows that 99 percent of the Moms
who read this study develop anxiety in at least the upper normal range.
trade-off that the research poses is questionable at best. Time Magazine (April
30, 2001) distills the latest day care controversy down to the following
question: What if day care makes our children smarter – and meaner? With a huge
complicated question shrunk down to a single trade-off, I imagine millions of
Time readers pondering the choice between having dumb kids that don't talk back
and smart kids that do.
must we really view our children and our choices through such a narrow pinpoint
of a lens?
that we shouldn't address aggression in children. By all means, we should. But
it says something about the state of public debate that the latest day care
study has focused our attention on the choices of individual Moms rather than
generated some discussion about the nature of our institutions. It's a bit more
challenging to consider the possibility that our institutions foster tension,
anger, or some collection of emotions that elevate aggression. Is there anything
about the norms of our society that reward "talking too much" and "getting into
fights"? Do we ever consider publicly, debate amongst ourselves, or even
privately envision what behaviors we would like to nurture – not just in our
children but amongst ourselves as well? Must we accept day care as it is, with
no changes, and parenting as it is, with no changes, and choose between them?
And are our imaginations so limited that we can't conceive of communities, work
cultures, and networks of care and support that foster a cooperative spirit
among children — and meet Mom's needs as well?

A pregnancy site is a great asset for ladies of all foundations and ages, particularly on account of adolescent pregnancy. A pregnancy site can tell a young lady the first month indication of pregnancy and early indication of pregnancy she may be encountering so she can right off the bat get legitimate restorative consideration and counsel.
For a pregnant high schooler the data on a pregnancy site from first month indication of pregnancy to right on time indication of pregnancy could be precious in what in all probability is an enthusiastic and troublesome time. Youngster pregnancy detail let us know that children conceived in the United States to adolescent moms have a higher chance for school disappointment, neediness and physical or emotional instability. While that is bad news for an anticipating that mother will listen, it will maybe help impact the future choices that adolescent mother may need to make. Adolescent pregnancy could be an emergency for a youthful mother and it is exceptionally vital that if a young person figures out she is pregnant she promptly search out help, through a visit with a medicinal specialist or guide who can address her inquiries and give fitting therapeutic consideration.
A pregnancy site is likewise a secret route for a youngster to find a first month side effect of pregnancy and an early indication of pregnancy that she may be encountering and have an opportunity to consider her current circumstance in the event that she is undoubtedly pregnant. There are likewise extraordinary message sheets accessible on a pregnancy site some of which may incorporate; new mothers, hopeful mothers, raising children and single parents. There are a lot of pregnancy sites with data to include:
child name discoverers,
due date adding machines,
pre-birth (morning affliction and pre-birth mind),
labor (birthing routines),
bosom bolstering (profits of, procedures),
(post pregnancy anxiety and baby blues works out)
what's more new patterns in the process of childbirth torment medicines.
A pregnancy site is so exceptionally accommodating at telling a high school young lady that she is not alone in what she is experiencing.
Some other data a pregnancy site on youngster pregnancy can incorporate are realities, for example, how adolescent pregnancy rates are a great deal higher in the United States contrasted with other created nations. Every year pretty nearly one million adolescent ladies get pregnant with the lion's share of those pregnancies being unplanned and something like one quarter of those high school moms having a second youngster inside two years. While these pregnancy facts youngster appear to be to a degree overpowering it might be noted that general the teenager pregnancy rates have declined as of late.
A pregnancy site could be a great apparatus when a young lady may be encountering a first month manifestation of pregnancy or early indication of pregnancy. It might be not difficult to confound first month side effect of pregnancy as they could be like a lady's normal premenstrual signs, for example, swollen delicate bosoms, weakness, feeling bloated, cramping and implantation dying (which may be mixed up for an ordinary period). A percentage of the other soonest conceivable indication of pregnancy can incorporate; expanded salivation, migraines and a change in charisma (build or decline).
A pregnancy site may offer guidance on first month side effect of pregnancy and early indication of pregnancy and when a lady will begin to encounter these indications. A lady will typically begin to recognize indications several weeks after origination (twelve to fourteen days) unless a lady is convey twins, triplets or all the more as they will have larger amounts of pregnancy hormones in the framework. On the off chance that a lady has as of now had kids it is likely that her body will be more delicate to the hormones and she'll feel the manifestations sooner.
A pregnancy site can uncover first month manifestation of pregnancy, soonest conceivable indication of pregnancy and early indication of pregnancy with the main ten pregnancy signs being:
basal body temperature staying high,
missed period,
regular pee,
nourishment repugnances,
affectability to smells,
sickness (feeling like you would prefer not to consume or hold any nourishment down) and regurgitating,
implantation dying (effortlessly mixed up for a consistent period) or cramping,
delicate swollen bosoms,
weariness (getting up in morning feeling like you haven't dozed)
also obviously the positive home pregnancy test.
While a pregnancy site may be a significant apparatus to a young lady who is managing a pregnancy it can't supplant the exhortation, help and mind that a legitimate therapeutic specialist or guide can give. When a high school young lady figures out that her first month manifestation of pregnancy and early indication of pregnancy are truth be told pregnancy she ought to verify that her healthful, enthusiastic and different needs be appropriately met. Teenager pregnancy indeed could be a troublesome and passionate time and at the soonest conceivable indication of pregnancy ought to be met with the right help and forethought of family, companions and doctors.

Here I sit, watching a freshly installed FreeBSD box run through cvsup on all ports, to be closely followed by a new kernel compilation. As the output flies by in the xterm, I find myself wondering why I don't run into more FreeBSD in the world.
The truth is that I've been using some form of BSD since 1993 or so (the days of BSD/386). A foundational server that I've run since 1995 used BSDi initially, transitioning to FreeBSD back in the 3.0 release days. I can't contemplate using any other OS for this box and the myriad tasks it performs. We're not talking about a system that sits idle most of the time; this box generally deals with 250,000 to 300,000 emails a day (mostly spam, which produces a heavier load than actual mail delivery), and it serves up DNS, Web, and SMTP/POP/IMAP services for dozens of domains. It generally hovers at a load of 0.50 with the occasional spike.

Right up until last week, this FreeBSD box had an uptime of 1,057 days, or nearly three years. This streak was broken only due to a UPS failure during a brief power outage. It rebooted with nary a hitch. However, this event caused me some concern over the age of the hardware and the install itself, since it's still running a patched 6.1 release on a 10-year-old Compaq Evo W6000 workstation with a couple 1.7GHz Xeon CPUs and 2GB of RDRAM. (Yes, that's right -- Rambus.) And this box has been rock-solid stable the entire 10 years, with only a disk failure or two in the middle.
I attribute most of that longevity and stability to the OS. Sure the hardware plays a part, but make no mistake: FreeBSD is a fantastically stable and reliable operating system. In fact, all the *BSDs are: NetBSD, OpenBSD, TrustedBSD, and the like. As we know, BSD forms the foundation of OS X, albeit with the Mach kernel. There's a reason for that -- stability, reliability, and the forgiving licensing.
Beyond the stability, FreeBSD was way ahead of Linux with significant features like DTrace and ZFS. In fact, Linux still doesn't officially have native ZFS support, though Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is working on exactly that through a contract with the DOE. Then there's the matter of FreeBSD's pf firewall that is much simpler and more powerful than Linux's iptables, and the BSD TCP stack is generally known as the reference implementation, and it's used in many internetnetworking speed tests for this reason.

What's with the flag?
Original post made on Jun 28, 2007
Onate said he was waving the flag to take a stance against the Iraq war, specifically to show his support for the bill Congress recently sent to President Bush setting a timetable for Iraq.

Congratulations to Joe Onate, a real man who is standing up for his right to free speech. Joe is a hero in this world of dreary sameness and religious dogma, which spreads like communism through the ranks of the republican party. Kudos to Joe for having the guts to go out there, amid extraordinary circumstances, and express himself.

freedom of speech is a great thing. to bad we don't even have it here. i've seen many comments deleted, for being considered libelous. but i have to say, why go against your own people, and our communities sons. i'm not going arounf pumping people full of patriotic beliefs. so please don't try to pump me full of anti-patriotic beliefs. I love America, and why wouldn't I it has supplied me with more tools for success, advancement, and fredom than any other country could. If people really don't like were they live move. I've left neighborhoods, because I didn't like the people surrounding me, so keep that in mind.

There are lots of debates out there regarding this subject. Basically, the Weekly, as a private company operating and paying for the equipment, software, and support costs for this forum, reserves the right to delete comments and I support that. I don't see how this impedes freedom of speech. Freedom of speech doesn't mean a person gets to use someone else's time, money, and resources for their own opinions. I believe Joe Onate understands this concept.

On March 31, 2011 at approximately 1210 hrs, San Juan County deputies were dispatched to a residence in on County Road 2400 in the Cedar Hill are north of Aztec New Mexico. Calls had been made by family members of a resident in a home there stating that an individual threatening suicide.
"The suspect had called relatives in Colorado and informed them that he was going to kill himself," explained Sergeant Kory Faulk. "The relatives also reported to dispatch that the suspect had an AK-47 Rifle." Deputies tried unsuccessfully to contact the suspect by telephone while en route to the residence.
Upon arriving at the residence two deputies made contact with the suspect at the rear of the residence. "Michael O'Hare who resides at the home with two relatives was in the back yard of the residence when deputies arrived," stated Sergeant Scott Facka. "He was carrying two machetes, one in each hand. He was waving them around in a threatening manner and banging them together. At one point he started to advance upon the deputies with them."
O'Hare then turned and ran into the home. At this time a command post was set up on County Road 2400, approximately 100 yards south of the home and a staging area was set up another ½ mile south of that. The San Juan County SWAT Team and Lenco BearCat (Armored Vehicle) were called in. "We also set up a perimeter around the residence, evacuating anyone who was in residences nearby as a safety precaution," said Lieutenant Brice Current.
Negotiations were started with the suspect. "I was able to make contact with the suspect by telephone. He kept telling me he wanted to visit his mother, who we were informed was deceased. He also shouted that he was going to come out of the residence armed and kill police officers," continued Facka.
Throughout the negotiations it was determined that the safest course of action for both the deputies and the suspect was to bring in the BearCat. "The BearCat was driven to within five feet of the suspect's door," explained Current. "SWAT Team members were inside."
At this time the suspect began continued entering and exiting the home. "He was carrying an AK-47 in his hands as he kept going back and forth," said SWAT Team Member Shane Ferrari. "At one point he went up to the BearCat and within 10" of the front window aimed the rifle at the deputy sitting in the driver's seat."
As the suspect continued his trips of entering and exiting the residence, he was also aiming his rifle at the deputies on scene. At one point he leaned across a vehicle, used it as leverage and took aim at every member of the SWAT Team inside the BearCat. "What's more he was nearing the BearCat each time he took his route in and out of the home," explained Ferrari. "The SWAT Team members inside the armored vehicle were able to come up with several options on subduing him. We tossed around the idea of using the bean bag gun or using the tasers." In the end it was the tasers that subdued the suspect.
"As the suspect neared an open window of the BearCat I was able to shoot him with the taser," said Ferrari. Within seconds members of the SWAT Team jumped from the back of the BearCat and had the suspect subdued.
"I can honestly say that the BearCat saved the suspects life today," said Current. "Because we knew the SWAT Team members were safe inside while the suspect was aiming the rifle at them we were able to make the decision to NOT shoot him and wait for the opportunity to disarm him safely."
Michael O'Hare was taken into custody and charged with six felony counts of Aggravated Assault Against a Police Officer. "This could have turned out quite differently," said Ferrari. "When this was over the victims relative came up to us and said 'thank you for not killing him when you had a chance to' that states it all, that is why we do what we do. We try for the peaceful ending if it is at all possible."

LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- Behind the scenes of U of L's big win in the Sugar Bowl, Greg Dutton and Ari Schwartz were working hard to create shirts and gear U of L fans would want to buy. Dutton, of Print Tex, explains, "Teddy threw the touchdown pass the first play after they got the on-side kick there, and I told my wife, 'I'm going to work.'"
Schwartz, of Synergism, says, "I wasn't certain of it until Florida missed their two-point conversion. That being said, I put my shoes on and raced over here."
That was at 1:00 Thursday morning and he immediately began the screen printing process. "It's a stencil," Schwartz says, "and puts each color down on the press. Once that's done, the ink is going to stay on there. You'll have holes in the shirt before the ink comes off."
He works with retailers. The company says this will be the only merchandise to hold the official Sugar Bowl license and U of L license produced in Louisville. The long-sleeved shirts are selling for $15, the short-sleeved shirts sell for $12.
J.C. Thurman of Cardinal Authentic at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium says she will be getting official Sugar Bowl Adidas gear early next week: "I do know I'm getting a hat and I'm also getting about five shirts and one ladies shirt. Phone is ringing off the hook. Almost feel like I need to stay right next to the phones."
Schwartz says, "The number of orders that I had that I was prepared for has doubled in the last hour."

Oomph! Biography
OOMPH! is an industrial rock band from the neue deutsche härte scene. OOMPH! consists of: Dero Goi (vocals, drums) Robert Flux (guitar, mixing) Andreas Crap (lead guitar, keyboards) The band was formed in 1989 in Wolfsburg, Germany. They are (next to KMFDM and Die Krupps) founders of the new fusion of hard metal music and industrial sounds known as Neue Deutsche Härte, though OOMPH! owed a lot to Nitzer Ebb in their first album. (It is interesting to note that Die Krupps and Nitzer Ebb released a single - "The Machineries of Joy" - together in 1989, the same year OOMPH! was founded.) OOMPH!'s change of style between their self-titled debut (1992) and its successor "Sperm" (1994), leaning more heavily to a guitar-driven metal sound without ever giving up their electronic roots, inspired numerous musicians, most famously Rammstein, to follow their lead. (Rammstein have quoted OOMPH! in several interviews as their main inspiration.) OOMPH! released their first album on Jor's Machinery label, then releasing their consecutive albums on its sister-label Dynamica. They stayed with Jor, until his labels disappeared during the acquisition by Sanctuary Records at around 1996/1997. It was Virgin Schallplatten where OOMPH! finally signed, because Virgin had asked way before Rammstein became successful (according to an OOMPH! interview). Between 1998 and 2001 they released three albums on the Virgin label, fulfilling their contract, but did not continue, feeling that the record company never fully explored their potential. With the benefits of major-label status however, OOMPH! gained a larger following, and toured with labelmates Skunk Anansie in 1999. In 2004 OOMPH! released their first single "Augen auf!" on a new label, this time on Supersonic Records, part of the Sony BMG group of music companies. It marks their first Number One hit ever in Germany, thus eventually bringing forth their major commercial breakthrough. It became part of the FIFA 2005 soundtrack. The band's ninth record, GlaubeLiebeTod was released in March 2006, including the controversial single "Gott ist ein Popstar" and its follow-up "Das letzte Streichholz", the third single was Die Schlinge. In 2007, they won the third Bundesvision Song Contest (a contest between the sixteen states of Germany) for Lower Saxony (Niedersachsen) with "Träumst du?", which featured Marta Jandová from Die Happy. It should also be noted that while OOMPH! are not widely known within the United States, the band did perform at a New York festival in 1993. In Europe they have performed at M'era Luna, Ozzfest, Dynamo Open Air and Wacken Open Air. The members of OOMPH! listen to and have been influenced by a variety of artists including The Beatles, ABBA, Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails, Björk, Garbage, Korn and Mozart and most notable Einsturzende Neubauten. OOMPH! consists of: Dero Goi Robert Flux Andreas Crap 1989 Wolfsburg, Germany

By Brenda L. Holmes
Lexi Hall recently returned from a trip to London where she represented herself and the town of Plainfield during a New Year's Day parade.
She got the opportunity through her cheerleading experience at Plainfield High School.
"I was at a UCA (Universal Cheerleaders Association) camp at IU and our coach talked to all the seniors about trying out," Hall said.
Hall, along with Plainfield senior Bailey Jackman, were chosen to cheer at the annual celebration representing the community.
"We both made it, but Bailey didn't end up going," she said. "It was really kind of scary. I didn't know anybody else going. I got really sick on the plane ride. I told them, 'I'm dying. I'm not going to make it. But I ended up having so much fun."
Hall ended up rooming with a cheerleader from Marian and says the two became good friends.
"It was very different there," she said. "I think it made me appreciate home more. I was excited to be there, but America is much better."
The group of about 180 cheerleaders got to go sightseeing for a couple of days. They were able to visit various sights including Windsor Castle and St. Paul's Cathedral.
"The pictures I took don't do it justice," Hall said. "It was so beautiful."
The task of cheering with girls from across the country proved to be a difficult.
"They had sent us the dance we were going to do ahead of time," Hall said. "It was kind of hard because we had to learn it on our own and then they changed it when we got there."
She said the changes came only two days before the New Year's Day parade.
"We were doing all the sight seeing and didn't have much time to practice," she added. "The changes were stressful. They taught us some chants we did during the parade, but there really wasn't much time to prepare."
Hall said she has been cheering for three years. She no longer cheers for PHS but continues to cheer on the West Side Cougar All Stars, a competition team.
Hall is the daughter of Jodi and Normal Craney and Ryan and Michelle Hall and the sibling of Sarah and Jenna Craney and Tyler and Ellen Hall.
"I'm the oldest and quite a bit older," she said. "Jenna is the closest to my age and she's 11."
Her youngest sister, Ellen, has not yet reached her first birthday.
Hall is finishing up her senior year at PHS. She is planning to attend Indiana University in the fall and major in forensic pathology.

4.03/5 rDev -1.2%
Appearance: pours a golden color with a partly transparent body and a huge white head that flowed out over the op of my Brooklyn Flute Glass.
Smell: huge phenolic yeast flavors with banana wood butter and spice. A lemony citrus bitterness and floral perfume is also present.
Taste: Lots of lemon and herbal tea with a unique minty/hop/pine mix with the typical banana clove flavors of a Weizenbock. Starts with lots of strawberry banana, honey and cloves (coriander too) and finishes very minty with lemon drops and Hauls and ginger spice. The mid is a bit sweet on the fruit-salad side but [head shaking] interesting.
Mouthfeel: Rich and thick. A substantial sugar and sweet maltyness on the tongue gives it a sticky feel. maybe a little too much so. Nice carbonation level though.
Drinkability: I did not find this sweet chaos to be very refreshing. It is terrifically interesting but as a drinkable session beer, I think not. Half the bottle and I am quite done, though very happy to have given it a shot.
Hope this is helpful.

The second in consecutive days of the great collaberation stuff from Brroklyn and Schneider and bothe are great beers in my mind.Poured into my Aventinus glass a mix of light goden and peach with a very nice fluff-sticky white head just a great pour,citrus dominates the nose with a bit of spice,wow 8.2% ABV couldnt be more well hidden its just fresh and citrusy with light spice and good leafy herbal notes.I really liked this beer maybe even a little more than the American variety its just refreshing and flavorful great for a warm day.

Appearance - This is a fuzzy dark orange in color with a nice white head.
Smell - There are some super-sharp citrusy hops in here that are full of spices and herbal notes. There is some nice yeast in here but it is really hard to find. The light banana though keeps this one honest.
Taste - These flavors remind me more of a stiff Belgian bitter, and then you have the banana and clove of the weizen style. This is really a complex beer with flavor combinations that I have never had before. I get everything from the nose with maybe a bit more malt.
Mouthfeel - Man is this a thick beer. It's almost full-bodied and is a meal unto itself. The carbonation is strong but fluffy.
Drinkability - This is a very different beer and almost impossible to rate using style standards or comparisons to past examples of the style. I know it was very fun and exciting to drink though so thumbs up for that.

A: Yellow with brown hues, plenty of yeast haze. 4 cm white airy head that dissipates after a while, while leaving nice lacings on the glass.
S: Nice hop character up front - grapefruit, grass an resins, some pine-needles. Banana. Some yeast. Quite a lot of white pepper. Decent malt character beneath - white bread, wheat. Quite nice overall, but there are some notes that are slightly too assertive, not really harmonious.
T: The taste is not as impressive as the smell. Again, there are plenty of hops, but they are not as well defined as in the smell (grape, grass, floral notes). A rather sweet and juicy malty backbone mixes with a prominent spicy character (mostly white pepper). Some flavors of bubblegum, and of course banana. The finish is mildly bitter and dominated by a very sweet and sticky taste of alcohol, making the beer slightly perfumy. Faint mineral-notes, bread and hints of lemon lingers in the mouth.
M: Moderate body, plenty of carbonation but the bubbles are rather calm. Slightly chewy due to the alcohol.
D: This is a rather good beer, but for some reason it didn't really do it for me. This one proves that more hops is not always better. It lacks balance, the flavors are not integrated with each other and the alcohol is too prominent.

Looks (3.5/5) – Pours a rich gold with some nice orange colours to it. Head is decent: it rises a bit small on a hard pour; it's texture is a bit soapy; it falls very slowly to a decent cap that really lasts and leaves little lacing. It is really ridiculously opaque, which makes it look a tad dark.
Smell (4.5/5) – The smell is a really great marriage of the hops and the yeast. The yeast is very citrusy, it has some lemon, but it's pretty firmly in the grapefruit- range. That's complemented really well by the banana notes of the weizen yeast. There's also some light fruit notes like orange peel and pear that come through on the finish that are probably yeast (maybe spicing or hops). I notice that the clove yeast aroma is relatively minimal, which I think works for the style.
Taste (4.5/5) – Really nice; it actually reminds me a bit of the Dogfish Blood Orange Hefe. The malt character is fairly mild, but falls into a lightly sweet graininess and a bit of that distinctive wheat flavour a bit of crystal and/or biscuit. The hops are of the same, primarily grapefruit flavour. There's some citrus and a very little bit of resin, but this is really about that one citrus flavour. That plays really well with the yeast, which is more complexly fruity than many hefeweizens; the banana plays really well with the grapefruit, adding a bit of softness to the harsher grapefruit flavour, but there is also a good assortment of other fruity notes (pear, peach, apricot, etc) with a bit of high-alcohol perfume in there. A high-medium hop bitterness carries through the end with the grapefruit flavour the really balance the sweetness.
Feel (4/5) – I think this one was like a really good hefeweizen in its feel. Light-Medium body and relatively good carbonation (actually a touch lower than usual here) mix with the mouth-coating hops and a slight hint of alcohol to make it feel something like whipped cream.
The balance of this brew is really something great. The new world hops with that grapefruit flavour meets really well with the hefeweizen yeast. I think this mix was especially good because that yeast – for whatever reason – seemed to have a bit less clove. Now, I love clove in my traditional hefeweizens, but this just played it so well. It's rare that these beers pop up in the LCBO and I love it when they do.

OMG! this might be the greatest beer I have ever had!... It is the best of both worlds... the centurys of German knowledge in brewing ...combined with the hop craze on this side of the pond... equals what I would say is a hybrid between an American IPA and a german hefe- weisse!... I can't believe I have never heard of or read any posts on this brew... It is only a matter of time before everyone gets hip to this... and it will be untouchable...

Pours into my glass a hazy dark yellow with a creamy two finger head and lots of active carbonation with some patches of lacing. Aromas start with somewhat toasted grains that quickly gives way to a blast of spicy, herbal hops. Yeast, cloves and a touch of fruitiness. The noble hops really lead the way here and mask much of the standard weiss aromas. Interesting.
First sip brings a toasted grain maltiness with a hint of caramel. It's easily overshadowed though by a huge spicy, herbal hop flavor. Somewhat floral as well and quite unique. As it flows down there's a nice yeasty hit with some cloves and a fruity aspect as well. Finishes with a sturdy hop bitterness and a lingering hop flavor. An interesting weizenbock without a doubt.
Mouthfeel is on the lighter side with huge carbonation that makes it a bit prickly and adds some creaminess at the same time. Goes down pretty easily. Overall, this one just doesn't really grab me, maybe I'm not a fan of this particular hop. Either way it's an interesting collaboration with a big punch of hops. It's still worth trying at least once if you can find it.

Heard good things about this one, figured I'd give it a shot. I like the style, but not something I pick up often.
Poured into a tall hefe-glass. Murky, yellowish-brown body. Large white head on the top that held on well. Sporadic lacing sticks to the glass.
Smells really good. Lots of banana and clove. Loaded with spicy, floral hops. Has a pineapple, wedding punch aroma as well. Smells exactly like wedding punch to me actually. I like wedding punch, haha.
Spicy yeast, wheat body. More spices in this than the typical banana profiles. A bit more subdued than the aroma indicated. Don't know what else to say about it. Tasty, typical hefe taste for me. As it warms some alcohol become noticable.
Nice full body. Crispness introduced by the carbonation, a bit prickly actually.
Overall a tasty beer and a bit unique with its level of hoppiness, especially in the aroma. Good stuff and worth a try.

I was excited to try the first of the two schneider-brooklyn collaborations (the other being this same beer done at Brooklyn...yet to come).
Appearance was cloudy on the first pour with good off white head that faded. The pour at the end of the bottle looked like blended oatmeal that you couldn't see through with a flashlight.
Aroma was all up front astringent hops.
Taste doesn't stray too far from the acidic hop in the aroma. Mouthfeel is ok, pretty thin overall. Sweetness does come through and fades pretty quickly into a bitter finish.
I wasn't thrilled, as you might be able to guess. I'm hoping that the Brooklyn version will be better.

Pours a hazy gold. Nice head, but not long lasting.
Aroma is of hay, a bit of alcohol and a lot of juicyfruit bubblegum.
Taste is solid, with a nice sweet malt flavor, some banana, and still a lot of bubblegum. Very nice.
As it warms though, the brew picks up too much of the alcohol flavor, so it takes a hit on drinkability.
Overall, a very nice, solid beer, that I plan on picking up some more bottles of.

Presentation: (Part of a 5 pack gift set with glass.) It was poured from a brown 500ml bottle into the Aventinus glass that came with the beer. The label on the bottle has the abv (8.2%) and a description of the beer on the back. There is no freshness date but there seems to be a batch number or bottle code on the back label.
Appearance: It has a thick cloudy, yeasty looking body with a tan/orange color and a tall white head. The head fades fairly fast and leaves just a small ring of foam on top. Lacing is minimal and spotty and slick.
Smell: The aroma has a good wheat bready and yeasty character with hints of ripe banana and citrusy herbal hops.
Taste/Palate: There is a good bit of bready/yeasty character and flavor. I get mild notes of banana, pineapple, clove and hints of orange. The hop profile is more noticeable than most Weizenbocks and adds a good balance of spicy, herbal, (almost minty) and citrus bitterness. The palate has a smooth and silky, almost oily texture with mellow carbonation.
Notes: The hop balance gives this beer a nice complexity and interesting flavor. This is one to seek out, especially if you liked the Brooklyn version.

500 ml bottle served in a large Kapuziner wiessbier glass. Pours a murky amber body with a titanic offwhite head that initially occupies most of the glass. Second pour with the yeast swirled in produces a dirty mustard brown color. Head retains well and becomes rocky and pitted.
Aroma begins with a prominent clove essence. Fresh sliced Valencia oranges add a nice citrusy ester. American IPA type hops provide notes of grapefruit and pine resin. Interesting, but odd, atop the German yeast and wheat malt.
Mouthfeel has a medium body and carbonation.
Tastes just like what I imagine a mixture of an IPA and Hefe would be. Citrusy grapefruit bitterness trumps the faint banana note. Clove and white pepper add a pleasant spiciness. Wheat is subdued but yeast is a major player. Finishes grapefruity bitter somewhat like an IPA.
An interesting collaberation to be sure and exquisitely crafted. Personally, I just don't care a great deal for such an aggressively hopped German Hefe.

Typical mid size German type bottle, has some sort of info on the rear label, but I can't make any sense of it. Got to love Brewery taking chances, working together and trying to push the friggin envelope a bit more...this offering pours very cloudy ripe apricot, with a frothy light tan head, plenty of loose head, sloppy lacing and better then moderate retention and carbonation. Yeasty, hoppy, flavorful brew. Nose of bananas, yeast, coriander, ginger. On the tongue I get notes of more of the same, also some peppery spice, mustard seeds, plenty of yeasties and german goodness. Overlay all that with a not quite subtle hoppyness, and you realize you are enjoing one of the planets more interesting and cutting edge brews. While everybody else is working on trendy wild ale/sour/lambic kinda things...Schneider and Bklyn have gone in a new and differant direction...love the result and the new "style"

Pours a dirty yellow straw color with a small white head. Lots of suspended yeast throughout the beer. The aroma is citrus with bready malt and a slight hop character. The flavor is yeast, lemon, bready malts and hops. I didn't think this one was as complex as the Brooklyn version. Medium mouthfeel and carbonation. Good drinkability.

500mL bottle from the LCBO. Poured into a hefeweizen glass.
My first observation with this beer is its murkyness, which I have to say places this brew as among the murkiest weizenbeers I have ever had, even for a weizenbock. A tan-peach concoction with about a half inch of head that recedes into a fine ring. Not the world's best looking brew, but this will become utterly irrelevant in a few moments.
The nose is exactly what I had predicted: a stellar combination of the wheat beer notes (wheat malt, banana, clove, herbal hops) and American hops, which give the brew a lovely citrus aroma (lemon and grapefruit).
Now this is a wheat beer whose extra hops make this truly greater than the sum of its parts. The soft wheat and banana notes are brought to the fore along with a tangy, citrussy blast of lemon and grapefruit, making for one refreshing brew indeed. Clove and herbal hops linger in the background. Medium bodied, slightly chewy.
A great summer brew that proves to be an excellent marriage of old and new styles of brewing. I will definitely be back for this brew many times over as the heat wave continues unabated...

Opened 16.9 fl oz bottle, poured into Weizen Glass.
Pours a sturdy head of 2" that dies down to ¼" of nice froth atop a hazy honey amber brew. Obviously unfiltered.
Citrusy hop smell is quite prevalent, also banana smell comes through with some floral and spice notes. Taste Follows through with banana notes - at first - while hops and citrus become more prevailing. Very interesting balance of hop to wheat creates an explosion of flavors. Is a tad hot on first taste, but future taste disguised the 8.2% ABV. Nice finish, great taste. Great beer.

Appearance: Looks like a beautiful orange yellow weisse, nice and cloudy, pours a nice head that recedes to a thin but sturdy lace.
Smell: Weak banana weisse, with only the faintest wisp of hoppy citrus
Taste: Hops kick you in the teeth, citrusy, piney, with a bitter aftertaste, the yeasty banana weisse I know and love is bound and gagged in the trunk, a little out of balance. I had the FFF dreadnaught at the brewpub and it seemed to be better balanced at 100 ibus. This one's like a grapefruit mimosa, though it tasted better toward the bottom of the glass, maybe it's the yeast or my numbed palate, the alcohol was very well hidden.
Mouthfeel: Decent, not outstanding but smooth and rich.
Drinkability: Have to try this one again, I love this brewer and I'm surprised not to love everything they do.

Did you make any apple butter at all this Fall? I did. I made a lot of it. I came across this recipe in the December issue of Martha Stewart's magazine and thought it was a brilliant idea to put some apple butter in between two slices of bread and make some french toast out of it. It was even a healthy recipe too, and the nutrition info was posted on it. That's always a bonus for me, because that's one less step I have to figure out.
I was pretty proud of myself for not using any butter or oil to cook this recipe. See, recipes can taste good even with out butter. Usually, I'm all for the butter but have recently come to realize that I need to start watching what I eat again.
Ingredients from Martha Stewart
259 calories, 5 g of fat, 14 g protein, 38 g carbs, 4 g fiber
Points Plus: 6
1 cup low-fat milk
2 large eggs 2 large egg whites, slighlty beaten
1 tablespoon of granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
8 slices of whole wheat bread
non stick cooking spray
1/4 cup of apple butter
2 teaspoons confectioners sugar
1. Preheat oven to 250. In a large shallow dish, whisk together milk, eggs and egg white, granulated sugar, vanilla, and pumpkin pie spice.
2. Place 4 bread slices in milk mixture and let soak 1 minute per side. Coat a large non-stick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium. Add soaked bread to skillet and cook until golden brown about 8 minutes, flipping once. Transfer to a wire rack set in a rimmed baking sheet and place in oven. Wipe out skillet. Repeat with remaining bread.
3. Spread each of 4 slices with 1 tablespoon apple butter. Top with remaining slices and dust with confectioner's sugar. Serve immediatly. Serves 4.

The Steelers will release WR Hines Ward, the team announced on Wednesday.
"We had a conversation today with Hines Ward and informed him that we plan to release him of his contract prior to the start of the 2012 NFL calendar year," Steelers president Art Rooney II told the team's website.
Ward, who was drafted by Pittsburgh in 1998, spent 14 seasons with the Steelers and is the team's all-time leader in receptions (1,000), receiving yards (12,083), receiving touchdowns (85) and 100-yard receiving games (29).
"Hines has been an integral part of our success since we drafted him in 1998 and we will forever be grateful for what he has helped us achieve," Rooney said. "He has meant so much to this organization, both on and off the field, and we appreciate his efforts over the past 14 years. Hines' accomplishments are numerous, and he will always be thought of as one of the all-time great Steelers. We wish him nothing but the best."
Last season was Ward's least productive since his rookie year. He finished with 46 catches for 381 yards and two touchdowns in 15 games. Ward had four consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons from 2001-04 and had three seasons ('02, '03 and '05), with double-digit receiving touchdowns.
Ward released the following statement, via Andrew Siciliano of NFL Network:
"This isn't how I wanted this chapter of my career to end. I did everything in my power to remain a Steeler and finish what I started here 14 years ago. I want to thank the organization, my teammates and coaches and everyone who made my run as a Steeler the best years of my life. To Mr. Rooney, thank you for allowing me to play for one of the greatest organizations in the world. To my fans and in particular, Steeler Nation, thank you for your support and all the great memories. I gave my heart and soul for you every down and I will always bleed black and gold. I do feel that I still have more football left in me and I am looking forward to playing in the NFL, again, this upcoming season."
Steelers WR Mike Wallace is a restricted free agent and WR Jerricho Cotchery is an unrestricted free agent. The only receivers under contract for 2012 who caught a pass last season for the Steelers are Antonio Brown and Emmanuel Sanders.
The way we see it
This does not come as a huge surprise. Rumors swirled earlier in February that Ward would be released. At the time, Ward responded to the rumor by saying that he wanted to finish his career with the Steelers and that he was willing to restructure his contract. Obviously, the two sides didn't meet eye to eye on his future.
Ward will go down as one of the greatest players in the franchise's rich history, and we can't help but wonder if his career is finished.

PEORIA, Ill. -- Congresswoman Cheri Bustos announced Friday a grant of over $4 million for Peoria-area Head Start programs.
The grant is awarded through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
"Today's grant will help children and families in our region get a jumpstart on a quality education and allow our young people to develop the skills they need to excel and be healthy and productive members of our communities," Bustos said.

First off, I just want to say that like many of the other reviewers here my husband and I were weary of purchasing a mattress, let alone a memory foam mattress, over the internet with no way to test it. We decided that since it was relatively cheap, we'd go ahead and try it. We could not be happier! This mattress is exactly as it's described. It is very, very comfortable. We did wait the 48 hours to let the bed air out like the product says to. We didn't want to take any chances on messing it up or ruining it. We never did get the full 14 inches, but we're less than a quarter inch from it, so it's no big deal. The mattress does come with a mattress cover, but it's not a traditional one. It's more like a couch cushion cover and I'm assuming it is zipped up somewhere on the side, but we could never find it to take it off, but it's quilted and very soft. It's softer than our sheets. We still went ahead and bought a waterproof mattress cover because we have two large dogs and anything could happen. Of course, everyone's opinion of "medium firm" differs, but for me it is still pretty darn firm. I sink into it, but not as much as I would like but it is okay because I do tend to have lower back pain as well as shoulder pain. Since sleeping on this mattress I can honestly say that my back and shoulder have not bothered me. I like to also sleep on my side and stomach (I am not a back sleeper) and it is wonderful. :-) My husband sleeps on all sides including his back and he loves it. Like most memory foam mattress' you do tend to get really warm. If you tend to have hot flashes, I would not recommend a memory foam mattress. However, since I get really cold a lot this is perfect for me. I stay warm and sleep like I have never slept before. It is so hard for me to actually get up in the morning and start my day. I am so glad we decided to purchase this mattress. It is wonderful and now my husband and I can sleep in the positions most comfortable to us without bumping or kneeing each other at night like we did in our old pillow top Queen.
I would recommend this this everyone who complains of back pain from sleeping on springs I only wished I had purchased this mattress a long time ago. It's awesome the best.
This matress is wonderfully comfortable and truly is 14 inches thick. There was no foam smell and it is cushiony yet supportive. We love it. Nice heavy zip off cover.
I shopped mattresses for two months locally and couldn't believe how expensive they were. I have back problems and was leaning towards the memory foam mattress. Then I received the Overstock email featuring the mattress sale and saw this mattress. I was hesitant to buy because of three things: 1 - the price was so affordable making me question quality; 2 - I knew I could not handle a firm mattress and 3 - I worried that it would be hot. DO NOT WORRY. After studying the reviews closely I decided to order and I have not had one bit of buyers remorse. It is basically shrink wrapped and compressed and expands when you open it. You will need two people to maneuver it unless you are really strong and have plenty of room. Once in place simply unroll, open and voila! It expands into a wonderful mattress. The quality of this mattress is excellent. It is soft enough that it keeps pressure off of my shoulders and hips and firm enough to support my back without causing pain in the morning. Medium Firm is accurate. There is a slight odor at first but it was gone completely within one week. I slept on it the first night but I would recommend waiting at least 24 hours to let it completely expand. That also allows it to air longer before covering it with sheets. It sleeps cool, for women with hot flashes and night sweats (been there) you need not worry. If you are considering a memory foam mattress, I would not hesitate to recommend this one. As a matter of fact, I have to several people.
I wanted to wait a while before I put up my review of this bed. I wanted to sleep on it for a while and then make my review. And my review is.....this is great! I owned a higher end Tempurpedic at one time before, and wanted to get another bed but just didn't want to pay the outrageous prices of the Tempurpedic brandname. I searched Overstock for quite some time and finally came across this bed. I read the reviews and decided on purchasing it. The bed arrived quickly and well packaged. Like many of the reviews before me, it did have a strong chemical odor which did last for about two weeks, but that was to be expected. I unpackaged the bed and it rose to almost it's complete size within four hours. I did notice that the bed was a bit harder at first but that mellowed out and got better with the week following. This bed is great for someone who likes the memory foam mattresses but doesn't like them super stiff. It is a great balance of firm and soft. It is soft, but definitely not too soft. The bed is close to 15" when fully expanded. We actually use it on a platform bed and it works great! This is a great buy and well worth the money! Good job Overstock!
This is a great mattress. It is slightly firm, but still pretty soft. One negative...it sleeps HOT. This is the 2nd memory foam mattress I have bought from overstock. The first mattress slept normal and I never got overly hot at night, but this with this mattress, I wake up in the middle of the night covered in sweat. It traps heat terribly.
Extremely comfortable and exactly as advertised. I got the bed it was about 2" thick and it started to expand to its final size within minutes. It's the best sleep I have had in years and I had the adjustable comfort air mattress just before this one. Well worth the money! All you need is a solid board under it, no need for expensive box springs. You do need deep pocket fitted sheet for the bottom. Love it!
Love this mattress. I have been suffering from back pain from an injury years ago and finally I can sleep comfortably! I never want to get out of bed. This mattress literally """" you back in every time!!
The first 2 or 3 nights the bed felt very firm---however, after a few nights it has settled into a very comfortable bed. We are very happy with the mattress! We use it on a platform, and wish we could turn it over, but most mattresses cannot be turned now, so will see how it does. We buy a new mattress about every 2 years (My husband has 6 compression fractures in his back) to make certain the bed is always 'just right' for him. We don't like to spend too much money for a mattress we are going to change frequently and this one is just right price and comfort wise. Also, it is hard to beat Overstock for good service. We are happy.
I have two of these for guest beds. I just had two couples here for a weeks sleeping on each of them. They raved about them! Great product. Don't be afraid to purchase this.

Four In The Net, Pizza You Get is finished
Round Table has discontinued their program of free and/or discounted pizza every time the Sharks score four goals at home. The reason? The Sharks have allowed a competiting pizza place - Amici's East Coast Pizzeria - to sell their wares at HP Pavilion this season. Hat tip to Working The Corners commenter Jeff for this link.

What do you mean.. "Something to be concerned about??" Of course it's something to be concerned about. If you know in advance that there's going to be a 'ditch day'.. take away the car keys! Make a date to drop them.. pick them up at school! Meet them on the quad for lunch!
Kids who 'ditch' get in trouble.. cause trouble.. get hurt or worse. They're supposed to attend school. See that they do.
If you don't.. 'that's' something to be concerned about!
Thanks for the warning...

I heard the same rumor from another parent. I always thought the Monday after Senior Ball was the traditional skip day.
Pleasanton schools have an automated system for dailing homes when kids are late for class or miss a class. The online Zangle program also notes when a student misses a class.
There's no reason with these two programs that any parent should be in the dark on whether their student was in class or not.

Right, *after* the fact. But true.

Maybe somebody meant to say Senior Snitch Day? Or, Senior Stitch Day?
I can understand somebody want to stitch his/her shadow to a tree but to snitch about it, puzzles me...hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?

My 2 cents:This is a great plan (Still go for the IS I.. really good bang for your buck but you can only find used).
Sell: T41 + EF-S lenses + 85 1.8 + 100 2.8 L and 70-200 f4 = $3200ish
Buy: 5D III + 24-70 II and 5D II + 70-200 IS f2.8 IS I or version II
Keep: 35L
You can always rent 16-35 II if needed or buy one a year from now.
However the original still works, but a 5D III and II combination would go good together! Or if you didn't mind, 2x 5D IIs (just chucking out there. Good quality for a cheaper price).
But still, your original plan was good. I just think it would be more effective with 2 FF's though.
