Each week we examine whether Vikings QB Brett Favre, who is being paid more than $1 million per game this season, earned his paycheck. Let's take a look at the Week Nine win over the Cardinals.
In a word, yes. Sunday's comeback win is exactly the kind of performance the Vikings expected out of Favre when they sent three players on a plane down to Mississippi back in August. In fact, it was a vintage Favre performance: mistakes and misfires early, heroics late.
The fact that Favre's 446 passing yards were a career high came as a shock to many, or that he only once before had passed the 400-yard mark (402 vs. the Bears in 1993). He hit six receivers with at least four receptions and was picking apart the Cardinals' soft defense, throw after throw.
The two early mistakes were both poor interceptions, both on Favre. Thank goodness for the heads-up hustle of Greg Camarillo, or the first one would have been a pick-six. Camarillo's Don Beebe-esque strip of Kerry Rhodes might have saved the game from really getting out of hand early. The second INT was a Favreian blunder near the endzone, the kind of hair-pulling throw he makes with some regularity.
But everything after that was magic. It's possible he was better than his numbers. Really.
Favre hit on his final seven attempts, all completed for 11 yards or longer. His quick slant to Bernard Berrian was classic Favre improvisation. Both men saw the coverage at the line of scrimmage, changed from the called run play, and Favre checked to the quick hitter that set up the game-winning field goal in overtime. Even Brad Childress can't argue with that decision or result.
It's possible Favre earned $2 million with his performance in this game ... of course, that only makes up for a few duds earlier.

writer2036 says: This game is so vast and huge. I think I have only seen about 5% of it so far. Definitely not a game to be rushed at all. If you like your games to be intelligent and open ended then this is probably a game that will interest you.
writer2036 says: Another great looking game that I is very character driven.
writer2036 says: I love this game feels very much like Diablo in some ways but has much more depth to the story and characters.
writer2036 says: This game is really very much like playing a novel and you are the lead character and every decision you make effects everything. So this game makes you think carefully before you decide what to do next. Character is also highly customizable.
Treat your GOGmix as your child - name it! ;)
Coming up with a cool and descriptive title should be your first priority. Being original is in your best interest - bet you wanna get lots of nice votes, right? Go all crazy if you want, but be sure to keep it civil!
So, what are the ingredients?
Pick a game that belongs in your GOGmix from the list, or find it by typing something in the text field. Relevance is key here - Earthworm Jim doesn't quite fit the "Sexiest heroines of all time" bill now, does it?
Justify your choice... Or not!
OK, so it's not required, but now that you went through the trouble of adding a game, telling everyone why you did it would be a nice finishing touch. After you're done here, add another game, rinse, repeat.

Review: A Practical Guide to Distributed Scrum
Published by: IBM Press
Reviewer RatingsRelevance:

One Minute Bottom Line
|Irrespective of whether your team is distributed or not, this book is an excellent read for all members of a Scrum team.
ReviewAfter using Agile in IT projects for the past few years, and using Scrum exclusively on my last project, I wanted to read this book to get a better understanding of the theory of what I'd been following. This book gave me more. When reading the Preface I was excited to learn that the 3 authors used Scrum to write the book. In addition, as they lived in different places and in different time zones, they used some of the tools and strategies they describe in the book. Thus, the team of authors used distributed Scrum over a series of sprints to deliver the written product. I liked that; it gave me a strong feeling of confidence in the contents of the book!
The book, including the Forewords and Preface, is less than 200 pages long, split into 10 chapters. The Scrum framework is summarized in Chapter 1 and then examined in more detail over the remaining chapters of the book. It has an easy to read style and I found that I could read and digest a chapter on the bus ride to work. The book provides a good level of detail, and the authors have used real life tips or strategies from a large number of contributors who have worked on distributed Scrum projects. These contributions are used when a point is being stressed or an idea or strategy is being reinforced. They add value and give the feeling that the tips being offered have been used successfully and are therefore well worth considering.
The things to look out for in order to get a Scrum team running smoothly are largely the same whether the team is distributed or not. However a distributed team has a heightened sensitivity to things that impact Scrum performance. Chapter 2 takes you through some of these. It is common sense stuff: use plain language when communicating (especially with those whose native tongue isn't the same as the one being used by the project team), watch out for local phrases, be careful with humor, be aware of cultural differences (especially when communicating - for example, did that "yes" mean "yes, I understood" or not?), take note of public holidays in different countries, build the team by embracing cultural differences. I liked the tip that suggests getting all participants to telephone into a meeting if behaviors aren't working for a split meeting where some attendees are face-to-face, and the rest are not. This puts participants on the same footing as far as communication goes making the meeting easier to manage.
Communication seems to be the key for distributed teams. The teleconference theme is used in later chapters to reiterate the fact that distributed teams will not have the benefit of non-verbal communication when in a meeting. How do you know if your participants on a teleconference understand what's just been explained? Tip: get them to explain it back to you.
If your team is distributed when do you schedule the daily Scrum meeting, especially when time zones are taken into consideration? Chapter 6 provides a number of solutions, each of which are summarized at the end of the chapter with their respective pros and cons.
Chapter 7 emphasizes the importance of the agile practices of continuous integration, test automation and test driven development for improving quality and collaboration in a distributed team. The benefits are felt by all teams using these practices, regardless of whether the team is distributed or not, and the book fails to make clear why they are especially important for distributed teams. However it does provide a good, clear understanding of what they are and how they work to improve code quality and team collaboration. When conducting a sprint retrospective good tips are offered for the facilitator: know the personalities of your team, and be alert to cultural differences. Some team members may not feel comfortable voicing their feedback – perhaps they are introverted, fear conflict, or culturally it's not a normal thing to do. In these cases the book suggests getting team members to write down their feedback and send it in prior to the meeting. This can even be anonymous to the facilitator if another person collates the feedback removing name identifying information. The aim of these tips is to help engender open discussion during the meeting.
I found there was little not to like about this book. Some of the diagrams were too simple to be of use, and other more complex ones were poorly explained. At the end of each chapter a reference section is provided. It includes links to online documents - I tried a few of these and some didn't work. However the documents were easy to find using Google.
I enjoyed reading this book. It provides a thorough understanding of Scrum, with demonstrated practical solutions to the problems that you may encounter when working on or running a distributed team. One last thing that I like - all the royalties from the sale of the book go to 3 charities.

Take action: Don't let divisive and racial politics wreck the census
by Restore Fairness, Wed Oct 28, 2009 at 11:09:52 AM EDT
Republican Senators Vitter and Bennett are trying to wreck the US Census. Mr. Vitter is demanding that the census be forced to add a question about citizenship status to its 2010 questionnaire - a move that would cost millions of dollars in tax payers money and fundamentally compromise the nature of the census.
In a incredibly narrow minded move, the Washington Times reports that he has written letters to senators from nine states telling them it's in their interest to support him because they may lose seats to states with higher undocumented immigrant or noncitizen populations.
"Voting for cloture or against my amendment could very well be a vote to strip your state of proper representation in Congress and cede your state's influence to other states that reward illegal immigrants like California and New York," he said in his letter to Indiana's two senators, which would be among those at a disadvantage.
The reason for this is that huge immigrant population increases in some states during the last decade will change the proportional representation, resulting in a loss of House seats in about eight states, including Vitter's home state of Louisiana.
If passed, the Vitter-Bennett amendment would throw a monkey wrench into the U.S. Census by requiring over 120 million questionnaires to be reprinted, wasting over $7 billion in research, planning, and preparation that has occurred for Census 2010.
Don't let politics undermine the accuracy of the 2010 population count and inject an anti-immigrant agenda into every realm of public life.
Click here to write your Senator and tell them to vote NO on the Vitter-Bennett amendment.

Yu knew this was coming.
He was OK with giving up five early runs to an anemic Mariners offense in his first ever big-league start. He acted indifferent about an opening stretch which included 13 walks in three starts. He contended everything was fine.
And it turns out everything is fine.
Darvish found himself on April 24th against the Yankees. The 8-inning shutout gave Rangers fans a tantalizing glimpse of what their new hurler was truly capable of. It opened a window to the reason an astute front office committed 110 million dollars to his acquisition.
During his last three starts, Yu Darvish has been better than good. He has struck out 30 hitters in 21 1/3 innings while only walking 8. He's drawn weak, ground-focused contact. And he's done it against the 6th, 7th and 12th-most prolific offenses in all of baseball. Darvish has been absolutely filthy lately. If you juxtaposed his stats from the last two weeks over last season, here's where he would rank among 2011's league's leaders:
|Strikeouts/9 innings
|Strikeout to Walk rate
|Groundball rate
|Swinging strike rate
*Fielding Independent Pitching -- A predictive equivalent to ERA. Only accounts for peripheral stats: Strikeouts, walks and home runs.
Granted, the assumption that Darvish will sustain these numbers through the extent of a season is silly. However, I would believe that three-start sample far more than what we saw in Yu's first three appearances. Darvish has always started slowly -- during his first start in 2011, he gave up seven runs to the NPB's Seibu Lions (The Mariners are bad; the Lions might be an above-average AAA team).
Yu's stuff is making hitters look absolutely foolish, and scouts are more than happy to agree with the numbers: "If the command is plus and he's getting ahead in counts, he's going to be up there with the best starters in baseball." (Hat tip to Lone Star Dugout's Jason Cole, who you should follow on Twitter)
The command issues are still there, and it seems like they are the only factors which might hold back Darvish's ascent to ace status. But with his extreme tendency to induce strikeouts and get ground balls, walks will hurt him less than most. And while some may have jumped off the bandwagon after a worrisome start, it's becoming progressively easier to believe what Yu Darvish said all along: He's going to be just fine.
And maybe a little better than that.

In the bottom of the eighth, Bruce Bochy summoned Jeremy Affeldt from the bullpen, and the lefty struck out Miguel Cabrera, Prince Fielder, and Delmon Young.
In the top of the ninth, Jim Leyland summoned lefty Phil Coke from the bullpen, and the lefty struck out Hunter Pence, Brandon Belt, and Gregor Blanco.
Which set up the bottom of the ninth, with Game 4 still tied 3-3.
With Affeldt still pitching for the Giants, Andy Dirks struck out. Jhonny Peralta came up next, and hit a fly ball to center field that seemed simple enough ... until the wind took ahold, and pushed it to the warning track, where a surprised Ángel Pagán hauled it in, more than 400 feet from the plate. Here was Affeldt's reaction:
With Affeldt having reached 29 pitches, Bruce Bochy yanked him in favor of righty Santiago Casilla, who nailed Omar Infante on his left hand, sending Infante straight to the clubhouse. Danny Worth entered as a pinch-runner, with Gerald Laird coming up.
Laird hit Casilla's first pitch to Pablo Sandoval, who tossed to second base for the inning-ending fielder's choice.
And so we're heading to the 10th inning, the score still 3-3. With Worth taking over at second base for Infante.

Ryan The Penguin
Ryan Potter may be known for his quick kicks and cat-like reflexes as the leader of the Supah Ninjas crew, but the animal he'd REALLY like to be doesn't quite have the same smooth moves. In fact, it walks pretty funny. That's right. Ryan wants to be the cutest, flightless bird of them all...
Ryan told us, "I would be a penguin 'cause of the way they walk. I oftentimes wish I could walk like a penguin without being given that look like, 'wow what is this kid doing?' You know that look?"
Yes, we definitely know that look. We know that look well. But who knows, maybe Ryan could be the first-ever ninja penguin. Plus, he'd already have a snazzy suit!

(FOX 11) The Bell corruption trial ends with high drama and the judge declaring "all hell has broken loose" with a deeply divided jury.
A day after five former city officials were found guilty on multiple counts -- the jury deadlocked on remaining charges and the judge declared a mistrial. The tensions in the jury room were evident in a series of handwritten notes to the judge. In one -- a juror writes about the pressure and stress that may have produced an improper verdict of guilty. In another, one juror accuses others of making false accusations and insults.
Jurors asked to be escorted from the courthouse without speaking to reporters.
Defense attorney Shepard Kopp says that's exactly the type of potential misconduct that could lead to a new trial. And he says he and the other attorneys will investigate what exactly happened with the jury before deciding if they will appeal Wednesday's guilty verdicts.

Don't you just love vintage childrens books........I have some I kept from my childhood and they are so full of imagination and character. A different league from today's childrens books.
I also have one or two my mum had as a child and the illustrations are wonderful, the smell and feel of the paper. If there was ever a house fire, guess what I would be grabbing?

Once upon a time in New York City, on the intersection of Broadway and Bleecker, there used to be a club where the lights never shone. In the cavernous dark, Marc Jacobs' Black Book of desperate, disposable, beautiful boys could blindly bump into one of club goddess Amanda Lepore's naked body parts. But when you're in one of the steamiest, most-crowded gay hotspots in the world with candlelit backrooms, a scandalous vibe, and servers in top hats and backless aprons, such concepts as personal space become fantasy.
This week, gay partygoers in San Francisco will get to experience the iconic Mr. Black nightclub thanks to a likely alliance between Mr. Black founder Luke Nero and SF party promoter Joshua J. Cook. On Thursday, motorcycle-themed club Rebel will host the launch of the monthly Mr. Black SF night with Stanley Frank of Viennetta Discotheque opening up for DJs Aaron & Aaron, Mr. Black's original, signature DJs. The party will recur the first Thursday of each month.
"I've never worked on a party that so effortlessly promoted itself," said Cook, promoter and creator of Big Top and Stallion Saturdays. "Everyone I've told about it wants to be involved." (Representing the party with stereotypical-looking, half-naked go-go boys on the cover of the advertorial Gloss gay party magazine, however, may belie his statement.)
Not surprisingly. Mr. Black, the NYC version, was the well-kept secret everyone was talking about. A twisted funhouse for eccentric socialites and underground club kids, it was too perfect to last. In 2007, the brick-walled club was forced to shut down after NYPD conducted an undercover, in-drag drug raid and arrested two employees (including Nero) and 15 patrons. The club relocated shortly after to Hell's Kitchen but failed to recapture much of its relevance. Recently the party started once again, this time in Webster Hall.
"When Stuart Black and I started it in New York there was nothing like it," said Nero. "It's as if we had created our own Studio 54."
Proving that a great ass can take you places, Nero went from the infamously bare-bottomed bartender in New York to creative director of all things Black.
After the raid, Mr. Black, the brand, followed Nero to Hollywood, where he is currently the promoter of the LA version at Bardot. The cross-country relocation has kept the party "fresh" for Nero who enjoys seeing each city's reinterpretation.
"In L.A. it's more youthful fashion. It's where the cool hipster kids go," he said.
And as for San Francisco's reinterpretation? Cook expects a crowd of "art people, fashion people, those who want to be seen. The crowd will be the main attraction."
The promoter has already enlisted a circus of characters to liven-up his version, including Los Angeles-based Andres Rigal, Lenora Claire and William Cullen and from San Francisco, Lady Bear and Miss Terry T. Earlier this month, Rebel held a contest looking for a slew of bare asses to prance around for Mr. Black SF.
With such noted scenester talent, the Mr. Black allure, and Cook's own connections, the party is sure to be a huge hit, although perhaps for a less cutting-edge gay crowd. The original Mr. Black club had a capacity of 162. For the SF launch, there are already more people RSVPs on Facebook.
The move out of New York, however, has smeared Mr. Black in some edgier eyes. The party once held in an unassuming basement in NoHo is now at a V.I.P. lounge in Hollywood. The party that once took great pride in not having bottle service and hosting the likes of Naomi Campbell, Chloe Sevigny and Boy George without much fuss now has a photo blog, a Facebook page, and hundreds of fans, including every contestant on RuPaul's Drag Race.
"Those are my greatest memories, says Nero of the original Mr. Black. "Sneaking in all those people into the party and no photographic proof that they were there."
Now, with the expansion to SF, some bristle at the idea of outside promoters coming into the city when there are already many native parties that appeal to art and fashion crowds, utilizing much of the same local talent.
Ultimately, though, and however fun this iteration may prove to be, Mr. Black itself is not really a brand, but a memory. For even if all the lights are turned off at legal venue Rebel on Thursday night, the camera flashes will probably reveal none of the spontaneous scandal or Marc Jacobs exes the original could brew up. Despite all the name-dropping, no party will ever be Mr. Black at its underground, unpretentious, dirty prime.
Perhaps it is the Internet, that word of mouth now travels faster than the click of a mouse. Perhaps it is the promoters, who realized that there is more money to be made when there's a line out the door. Perhaps it is the crowd, who wants to not only be seen but also immortalized via a mobile device. Perhaps it is our fault, that we now confuse reality show contestants for true stars.
Perhaps it is fate, that all great underground parties reach their capacity, die, and come back, bigger and sleeker. But not as Black.
Oscar Raymundo is a freelance writer and fabulous book club leader who blacked out plenty of times at the original Mr. Black.

Anything that broadens the options of the pathetic gay nightlife in this town is very much welcomed.
Would love to see an article in this paper about how two people basically owning all of the gay bars in SF outside SOMA has killed nightlife in the Castro.
I've written plenty about the sad state of Castro nightlife in the past -- at this point, I say let the people who enjoy it, enjoy it. There are plenty of great options for adventurous queer folk outside the Castro (and even inside it!), as I've been detailing in my column for years -- and in this week's cover story: http://www.sfbg.com/nightlife2012
It'll be interesting to see how Mr. Black turns out: so far its promotions don't really appeal to me. (Although I adore Terry T, Stanley, and Lady Bear.) But yes, it's something -- if not exactly something wholly different.
PS: If you actually look at who owns many of the Castro bars now, you'll see that it's a little more varied than a few years ago -- even if some of the horrid music, body conformity, and LCD vibe is the same. People have moved on to lamenting high real estate prices and hetero influx, fwiw.
But Mr. Black was never "Studio 54." You shouldn't have let Nero get away with that. Mr. Black was a more drug-drenched version of The Saint (if that were possible without mass cardiac arrest) - but with less beautiful people.
The problem, oftentimes, with doing these parties cross-coast is that they never really live up to the vision of what people who never went to the original imagine they were like. Having lived in New York and attended Mr. Black I can tell everyone - it wasn't really as good as Nero is making it and if he were smart he'd aim to set the bar lower for the SF version than he did in this interview.
Anyway - kudos to you for the awesome nightlife coverage Marke - you really make this paper readable.
Thank you guest. Love the line about the Saint.
Couple things -- Oscar, the writer of the piece, did actually attend the NYC version -- I'll clarify that above. And we decided to let Luke's Studio 54 line speak for itself. Tomorrow night should be interesting ...
SNOOZE FEST GALORE! who cares.... i went to the original in NYC doing bumps with Leigh of the Misshapes, and that door cunt Diandra! the SF version is weak, and the LA version is just dumb.

Bill Battle was officially introduced as the University of Alabama's new athletic director in a press conference held Friday in Tuscaloosa. Battle admitted he accepted the job with a heavy heart as he replaces his longtime friend Mal Moore who is facing serious health problems.
The decision to hire Battle as Mal Moore's replacement was formally made Friday morning in a unanimous vote from the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees held via teleconference.
UA President Judy Bonner, Chancellor Robert Witt, members of the board of trustees, Coach Saban and his wife and other UA coaches attended the press conference.
Dr. Bonner spoke first, describing the university's athletics department as "second to none." The university president also said she's looking forward to having Mal Moore join her in the president's office, where he will serve as her special assistant.
Moore announced his decision to step down from his role as AD on Wednesday, citing health reasons. Last week he was admitted to Brookwood Hospital then transferred to Duke University's medical center for follow up tests for pulmonary problems.
President Bonner said today she has "full confidence" in Bill Battle as the next athletic director, adding that Battle has a full understand of what it takes to be successful.
Battle played football at the University of Alabama under Paul "Bear" Bryant and is also a successful businessman.
Dr. Bonner described him as "someone I believe is uniquely qualified to build
on the foundation of excellence that is a hallmark of the department of athletics."
Battle also spoke during the conference, saying he was honored to be there and his prayers are with Mal Moore.
"He has got a hard long
hard road a head of him but he has got a lot of prayers behind him from all
over the country," Battle said.
Battle said after he met with Dr. Bonner and Dr. Witt, he still questioned if this was what he wanted to do. He said he was happy in retirement living on a farm in Georgia, but after consulting with his wife he agreed to take over the AD's job.
"If I didn't do it it would be a
big mistake. I could payback the university, if I can, what a great debt I owe
the university," Battle said.
The new AD said he built a culture in his old company that Coach Saban would be proud of, and he decided it was time to get outside of his comfort zone. He said he was most impressed by Dr. Bonner telling him that as good as things are for the university, "we have to work harder to keep things going."
Battle said his new job will be a "labor of love" but also admitted it will be a challenge with the athletic department at an all-time high and he has a steep learning curve when it comes to running the athletic department.
"We have to get student athletics ready compete on field and in life and to bring honor to the university," he said.
Coach Saban also spoke at the press conference, welcoming Battle on behalf of all UA coaches and describing him as a "first class individual."
"We are extremely excited to have Bill and his
family here. We as coaches want to make the transition a successful one," Saban said.
Battle has the backing of his predecessor Moore as well. In a statement released by the university, Moore said Battle was "the one person who could sustain all the good things that have happened the past few years while also moving us forward with planned improvements."
Battle is planning a six week listening tour to pick up as much information as he can about running a first-class athletic department.

Poured into a small tulip glass a slightly orange tinged lemony yellow with a half finger white head that left a few broken chunks of lace as it settled pretty quickly.Spiced phenols and tropical citrusy fruits really stand out in the nose over top of toasted grain.Very citrusy on the palate,I mean the citrus really jumps out at ya,mild phenols and again toasted grain underneath.Not bad with it's big citrusy flavors but not real overly complex.

Appearance: 1/4 inch head, moderate carbonation, gold in color, hazy
Smell: grains of paradise, cardamom, and coriander
Taste: lemon, orange, peach, grains of paradise, clove, and other Belgian spices, slight other hops
Mouthfeel: medium body, sweet with a slight bitter end, low carbonation
Overall: A nice and flavorful citrusy wit. The bitterness is not as pronounced here as it has been in other examples of the style I have had. This is a beer I would reach for if I wanted this style.

The beer poured a nice golden color from the bottle. It formed a nice foamy head that gradually settled down. The aroma was a crisp, citrus smell. It tasted like a nice wit beer; there was a light fruit taste that was light on the palate and felt clean in the mouth. Wheaty. Very good overall.
Would I buy this beer again? yes.

Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a St. Bernardus goblet glass.
Appearance: Pours a very hazy golden orange with a moderate amount of bubbles. About one finger of white head that quickly fades into a thin patchy layer. Leaves a good amount of lacing.
Smell: A fruity and spicy wheat malt forward aroma with hints of orange, coriander, and straw. Belgian yeast with big hints of coriander as well as some clove, white pepper, and chamomile. Wheat malt with hints of straw, grains, cracker, and slight caramel. Big citrus fruit presence with hints of orange peel, lemon zest, pineapple, and melon. Also some fruit hints of banana and apple. Subtle earthy hop presence with hints of grass. Pretty solid.
Taste: Like it smells, a yeasty, fruity, and spicy wheat driven taste with notes of orange, coriander, and straw. Belgian yeast with a mix of spices including coriander, white pepper, clove, grains of paradise, and chamomile. Wheat malt with notes of straw, grains, caramel, and cracker. Citrus fruit notes of orange peel, lemon zest, grapefruit, pineapple, and melon. Also fruit notes of dried banana and apple. Background earthy hop notes of grass. A pretty nice wheat taste.
Mouthfeel: Light to medium bodied with a fairly high level of carbonation. Creamy, juicy, and very smooth.
Overall: A pretty solid take on a Wheat beer. Good mix of spices and fruit esters with a nice hop kick.

Great hoppy flavor that is quite earthy with a little pine. Definite pale malt character and a little earthy yeast character as well. An interesting blend of a white ale's starchy/estery/spiciness and an IPAs sharp bitterness and pine/citrus hop character. Definitely refreshing and earthy overall.

Pours into a tall Prima Pils glass with a turbid glowing orange amber hue with a bright light off white head forming thick, you can see proteins and yeast sediment suspended in the body. Aroma is full of citrus, spice, and orange peel notes. A nice bready yeast/malt combo going on, almost like a Sam Adams Summer Ale I also notice grains of paradise on the ingredients listed on the bottle. Flavors are really combined into a spice mix pack with a mediocre IPA with citrus forward hops. Very dry presentation the bitterness comes from the spices, orange peel, and hop additions. Somewhere in the mad mix of adjuncts you have a drinkable beer, medium bodied spritzy carbonation, dry bitter finish. Overall not a bad beer and much better than some of the other White IPAs I have tangoed with.

(Served in a nonic)
A- This beer pours a light hazy pale yellow body with a sticky snow white head that makes a bit of lacing with each sip. The second pour creates a dense hazy in the body. There is a relaxed swirling carbonation
S- The floral green pineapple weed hops take on a lemon joy soap aroma as it warms and a peppery finish. During the pour there is a wheat dough aroma but it takes on more of a hair perm smell as the beer opens.
T The dry papery green hops have some dried pineapple hop taste with some spicy hop notes in the finish. There is a watery taste in the finish that is a bit dry. A papery hop bitterness lingers for a moment.
M- This beer has a medium mouthfeel and a slightly chalky texture with a gentle fizz in the finish.
O- This beer starts of pretty tasty but it falls off quickly to a harsh odd hop flavor and the yeast character disappears as well.

This is a pretty nice, well balanced, drinkable white IPA. It has a nice herbal hop character as well as an enjoyable citrus note. The nose was tremendous. Overall, very enjoyable. It's definitely worth a try though it won't appease those looking for something dominantly hoppy or dominantly belgian-y.

Too Old for Brazilian Butt Lift?
No, You are not too old. It's not a matter of age, it's a matter of health. I have operated on patients in their 70's with no problems and have had to turn down patients in their 30's and 40's because of health problems. To have this surgery, you want to be in your best health and well nourished so that you can heal well and get a great result.
Web reference: http://www.danielmarkmannmd.com/category/buttocks-augmentation-brazilian-buttocks-lift-fat-grafting/
Surgery and age
Age is not a contra indication for surgery , as long as you are healthy and your internist is clearing you medicaly for surgery. The more important issue is what method to use for the butt augmentation. Fat injection to the butt , requires large amount of fat to obtain a siginificant improvement in size and shape. This technique is not very reliable. In many cases, the fat completely disappears or nearly , completely disappears after a period of time. Usually after 1 year. I had 6 patients , lately, who had that unfortunate experience , done by other surgeons. They came to see me and obtained butt augmentation with implants. Implants , do not disappear , are soft and come in different sizes. Be sure to select an experienced plastic surgeon who is experienced in that procedure, in order to get good result and reduce complicatios.
Best of luck,
Dr Widder

Age is not the issue. If you are in good general health, and no contraindication to genral anesthesia, then you are a candidate.
Brazilian butt lift age for surgery
Age is not a major factor that I take into consideration to determine if you are going to be a candidate for surgery. Your health, skin tone, amount of fat among others are more important.

To say that sketching is a big part of my design process is an understatement, it is a big part of my life. I sketch every day. I appreciate drawing as an analytical and design tool, but I also enjoy the narrative and aesthetic qualities it produces. Sketching teaches us how to capture moments in life and see things we normally would not.

Town Square
Negativity towards Town Square
Original post made by Emily West on Feb 20, 2009
Yet people say they are afraid to comment and be attacked for their opinions.
In my experience "offline," people here are seem to be much friendlier than in other communities. Why the big disconnect?
What do you think about this?
on Feb 20, 2009 at 11:47 am
I like the blogs and think they are a great way to discuss local events and issues. The problem seems to be a couple of "trolls" that appear now and then to spoil the party.
on Feb 20, 2009 at 1:58 pm
I think people use whatever means they can to ignore obvious concerns. I am a parent of children in the PUSD and will not voice my coincerns to administrators or the board. I do so in these blogs. For example, I will vote for or against the parcel tax, and my concerns are valid.
It depends on who you talk to. For example, the "yes" people who already are going around promoting Casey's parcel tax propaganda are doing what they can to discredit these blogs. But keep in mind these people are not that many. Have you ever visited a PTA meeting? Not that many people there. The board meetings are quite empty too. They do not represent the parents in the school district, and they definitely do not represent the community at large.
And yes, there are some blogs that are quite negative, but I think in general, posts are thoughtful and many are quite valid.
Town Square is a good place for people who do not want their name all over the place. We think of our kids, and with them in mind, prefer to be anonymous and voice our opinions, concerns and questions that way.
on Feb 20, 2009 at 2:01 pm
I think these blogs can be like road rage on a keyboard. Anonymity empowers people to lash out and forget that their comments are directed at real people. I think this blog has benefits for the public discourse, but we need to use it as a place to exchange ideas and not bash others who don't share our views. Some of the comments made on threads about teachers have had very real, negative consequences for the morale of teachers in our district. I think it's sad that a minority of people can have that kind of impact on a group of people who serve the public well for modest pay.

Every pair of eyes is unique. That's the view at Blink Lash Boutique, where owners Janelle Koch and Jen Pearson lead a skilled staff in providing custom eyelash extensions for their guests. Each team member applies synthetic extensions one by one, making lashes longer without fitting them for tiny platform shoes. The strands themselves are available in a variety of styles and thicknesses to create looks from subtle to dramatic. No matter what the desired outcome, the team places client safety and comfort first?Jen and Janelle are both professional aestheticians, and all of their fellow lash stylists undergo rigorous training to ensure their work is suitably flirtatious.
Whether lightening the appearance of wrinkles or blasting away dead skin cells, the medical staff at both locations of Mosa Med Spa rely on up-to-date cosmetics equipment. Board-certified physicians Jose I. Garri, MD, DMD and Dr. Ramiro Peréz, Jr. lead a team of medical professionals, all of whom specialize in minimally invasive techniques such as skin-resurfacing microdermabrasion and anti-aging facials. One of the med spa's crowning jewels is the Candela laser, which heats away melanin deep in the follicles to remove hair from nearly any skin type.
Dr. Eddie Armas, director of Le Nouveau Eco Medical Spa, brings more than 25 years of experience to the clinic's roster of cosmetic and anti-aging procedures. His team of aestheticians fights wrinkles with various peels and collagen-boosting therapies or slims physiques with noninvasive body contouring. Medical weight-loss programs help dieters drop pounds under the watchful eye of a physician, and bio-identical hormone pellets inserted under the skin boost vigor and brain function better than an IV of Jolt cola.:m]]
From the moment guests walk or cartwheel into Ohana Spa of South Miami, a variety of stimuli work together to help them to relax: the sounds of calming waterfalls and the subtle smell of lavender, lemongrass, and peppermint. Owner Dionne Corona's eyebrow-shaping wizardry and custom facials have been featured in multiple publications, which isn't a surprise considering Dionne has been in the business for more than 20 years.
HD Esthetique focuses on the little things. Its trio of doctors includes a highly trained urologist, a board-certified plastic surgeon, and a specialist in eyelid and facial plastic surgery, all of whom work to make each body part look its best. The variety of services range from liposuction to buttock augmentation and laser hair removal. For a small touchup, clients can undergo Botox or dermal fillers, which inject serums filled with the rubbings of magic erasers under the skin to erase fine lines and wrinkles. More full-body makeover treatments include ultrasonic cavitation to help decrease fat cells and PRP skin rejuvenation using the patient's own plasma to tighten saggy skin and decrease the appearance of wrinkles.
It's not enough to be just pretty. The staff at Isis Wellness Nail Bar describes the salon as a "nail clinic" in which each mani-pedi results in more than just glossy nails, but also encourages healthy hands and feet. Technicians shape nails with disposable files and scrub away dead skin with disposable buffers and spongers. All tools that are nondisposable are disinfected with a hospital-grade autoclave, more effective than soaking them in butter. But this is not a sterile, cold salon. Aqua-blue recliners cosset customers during treatments, and they can add on mini facials and hot-stone foot massages for ultimate pampering.

ManilART 2013: ManilART For All
At its 5th year, ManilART has successfully positioned itself as the definitive visual art event in the Philippines — indeed the hottest contemporary art fair in the country. ManilART 2013 is at once the venue to support new talent, celebrate icons, and advance art appreciation into the cultural mainstream. Organized by the Bonafide Art Galleries Organization (BAGO) and supported by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA), ManilART 2013 showcases Philippine contemporary art through exhibitions of the country's finest galleries, as well as forums, workshops, and various activities for aficionados, artists, collectors, and investors.
Highlights: ManilART 2013
In the run-up to the show opening, ManilART launched caravans throughout the country so that more artists outside Manila can exhibit as well. Several works by iconic Filipino artists heralded guests into the art fair. Among them: 10,000 Shades by Michael Cacnio; MIST by Impy Pilapil; and abstract pillar sculptures by National Artist Arturo Luz. Meanwhile, the Art Appreciation Walking Tour this year was even more successful than the 2012 edition, with up to 3 sessions for each day of the show. Further, the Gala Night was attended by the country's tastemakers, and aside from lectures, the 2013 show featured a screening of Puti, the narrative film by Mike Alcazaren that features several original paintings by very talented Filipino artists.

Odd or Even Years for PA Elections? Measure S
Original post made by Paul Losch on Oct 7, 2010
As best as I can tell, the people favoring Prop S, which would move the local issues and candidates voting to be part of the larger ballot such as what we are about to deal with, are advocating it as a cost savings measure.
As best as I can tell, those opposing Prop S are providing the point of view that voters will be better focused and able to get more information is they are not also dealing with all the stuff that we get in even numbered years, from General Election information.
I lean with the opponents.
I get accused at times as being a Palo Alto insider. I may be guilty as charged, but I lived here for many years before I got to know those people who do paid and sworn volunteer work on behalf of Palo Alto.
The more I learn, the more I take the point of view that too many of us were like me, not really knowing the issues Palo Alto faces. We live in a wonderful community, and also in an important globally significant City.
It may cost CPA a little more money, and I think it is worth it. NO on S

5 bolts to a 2 bolt anchor. This could easily be set up as a toprope as the anchors are far back from the edge. Bring some slings to extend your rope over the edge.

Free web editor wanted
Would like to know if anyone is aware of a good free WYSISYG web editor. (Sitepoint threads on this are very old )
As with some of these, Kompozer enables the user to use a split screen so that the html can be worked on when needed.
1 Selecting text in the design view also selects the same area in the HTML view enabling one to to go straight to the relevant area for adjustments and is very helpful in learning about HTML.
2 Kompozer is also extremely good at showing your webpage in design view as it will appear in the browser. One or both of these two features are missing in several otherwise good editors, including Aptana, Amaya and Seamonkey.
Kompozer stopped development years ago.
If you are using an editor that can do 1 & 2 above please let me know. Your input is appreciated.
Please do not suggest a text only editor and please no hate mail from those who hate editors. My part time employer produces his HTML newsletter in publisher (arrgh!) and I want him to learn to use something like Kompozer.
Many thanks,

In a way, I'll miss her bizarre postulations, now that Republican Christine O'Donnell has lost her race. Though perhaps, like many of her ilk, she'll continue to entertain from the fringes.
Regardless of which party we members of the betrayed wives club happen to support, I can't imagine there's a single one among us who thinks that masturbation is adultery. In fact, I firmly believe that ALL of us would rather our husbands made love with Palmala Handerson...than any of the...ahem...partners they chose.

Phillies ace Roy Halladay has not pitched since being removed after two innings of their game against the Cardinals May 27. A strained lat was diagnosed and he's been on the disabled list since then.
Halladay could be close to a return to the majors:
Halladay will start Thursday for Class A Clearwater in his first game action since May 27, according to [a Philadelphia Inquirer] report.
If there are no setbacks, Halladay is likely to start next Tuesday against the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to the report.
Halladay had been pitching significantly below his career norms before the injury, although he wasn't pitching badly; he was exactly league-average in ERA (100 ERA+) and had a good 1.14 WHIP, a bit lower than his career average.
His return is no magic elixir to return the Phillies to contention — they stand 13 games under .500 and dead last in the NL East — but they'll be happy to see him taking the ball every fifth day, anyway.
For more on the Phillies, please visit The Good Phight and SB Nation Philly.

The Dordogne is an area of France in the South West of the country, which is a 'department' (like a county in the UK), with its capital of Perigueux and is named after the Dordogne river which runs through to the Gironde. It is part of the larger region of Aquitaine and sits between the Loire Valley to the north, and the Pyrenees to the south.
The region is extremely hill and contains dozens of small villages, country towns, and castles which makes it extremely picturesque and wonderful touring in the car.
Many of the villages will appear to be the stereotypical one-horse town where the horse has long since bolted, but which continues to function as it has for hundreds of years. Stop for lunch at the restaurant and ask for a bottle of the house red, and the most fantastic plonk will arrive which costs virtually nothing and is made by two brothers and their dog in a shed half a mile down the road. However, don't buy any more of it unless you are planning to drink it quickly, as these wines are not made to last and almost certainly won't make the journey home.
If you are touring of course, do remember your direct car excess insurance, since the roads are narrow and winding in many places, and very busy.
The Dordogne is a bon-viveur's delight. As well as excellent wine made around Bergerac (which will make the trip home), the region is justly famous for the pate de fois gras, the walnuts and the truffles that come out of it (literally in the case of truffles).
The area around the town of Rocamadour is famous for producing cabecou goats' cheese which you will frequently find served in the salads in the restaurants, while other local specialities also include hams and sausages.
Most towns have regular markets which will sell cans of the local produce which the visitor can take home for a gastronomic souvenir.
Many of the menus in the restaurants of the region will have duck and goose dishes heavily featured, and many of the dishes on offer will be interchangeable between the birds, so fun can be had in trying both versions and seeing which is best (though obviously not at the same time since portions are typically generous).
Many of the vineyards in the Dordogne offer free wine tastings at certain times of the month, although it is polite to buy something.
The Dordogne is a tourist's delight, modern in some places, deeply traditional and bucolic in others, a place that offers a succession of superb places to visit and plenty to please the palette when the need for refreshment arises.
For those that love to just lose themselves and see what they can find, it is an ideal destination.

Quins suffer Heineken Cup heartache
Updated 2:08pm Sunday 12th January 2014 in Sport
Magic moment: Quins scrum half Danny Care somehow keeps the ball in play and set up Quins' try for Matt Hopper with a clever reverse pass
A moment of genius from scrum half Danny Care was not enough to inspire Harlequins as they all but crashed out of the Heineken Cup after a 16-13 defeat to Clermont Auvergne.
The 27-year-old's reverse pass on the touch line midway through the first half - after collecting captain Chris Robshaw's chip - set Matt Hopper up to put his side7-3 up before two Nick Evans penalties made it 13-3 at half time.
But they could not withstand Clermont's second half onslaught as tries from Naipolioni Nalaga and Sitiveni Sivivatu and a late Brock James penalty booked the French side a place in the last eight.
O'Shea said: "We knew we'd be up against it at times and it would be the team that scrambled the most.
"The pitch was heavy going but we scrambled and stayed in it but we could not quite seal the deal when we had the chance.
"It is disappointment, but we'll get over it and get on with it."
Quins, who are out of the competition barring an extraordinary sequence of results in the final round of group games, can still secure a spot in the Amlin Cup, but will need to win at Scarlets next week.
