Texas mom rips off 6-year-old son's scrotum, tries to superglue it
One Texas mother took her anger to new extremes when she partially ripped off her 6-year-old son's scrotum.
Jennifer Marie Vargas, 34, grabbed her son by the scrotum in a fit of rage and pulled him toward her as hard as she could, accidentally tearing it in the process. She then tried to superglue his skin back together, reports My San Antonio.Vargas, who resides in Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston with her soldier husband, was arrested on Wednesday for the assault. She admitted to authorities that she had caused injury to her son before applying rubbing alcohol to the wound and trying to superglue it together. She told him to go to bed and did not seek medical attention.
My San Antonio reports that a criminal complaint affidavit states that the child's father came home from work on Sept. 27 and found his son in his bedroom, crying. He then found the bloody paper towels in his son's underwear and learned of the assault. He took him to the San Antonio Military Medical Center, where it was discovered that the laceration to his scrotum was 4 cm long, and he had bruising in his genital area. Doctors performed surgery on the boy to repair the damage.
The child is staying with his father while he recovers from the surgery. Vargas was detained without bond, though she has not yet been charged. She has no record with Child Protective Services in Texas, but investigators are looking at other states where the family has lived to see if there were previous interactions with other family agencies.

ST. CLOUD, Minn. -- A portion of I-94 is open again following a deadly crash near St. Cloud.
A stretch from Minnesota Highway 15 to westbound I-94 was closed Monday after a crash involving multiple vehicles killed at least one person.
The crash was reported near Minnesota Highway 23 at about 3 p.m. Several ambulances were on the scene. One person has died, according to Sgt. Jesse Grabow with Minnesota State Patrol.
The crash happened as a snowstorm was moving through the St. Cloud area. Law enforcement from several agencies were responding to numerous reports of crashes Monday afternoon.
Stearns County handled at least 11 crashes or vehicles in the ditch countywide as of 3:45 p.m., said Chief Deputy Bruce Bechtold. The county called some deputies in early because of the high volume of crashes, he said.

"You have to remember, he didn't come from the University of Nowhere," York said. "Chris played in two world junior championships for Team USA and was a part of two N.C.A.A. titles with us. But you do have to give him credit for stepping into the biggest market in the country and not just looking comfortable, but excelling." York is not alone with his Boston College pride. After Kreider's third-period star turn, Parker Milner, his goaltender at Boston College, wrote on Twitter: "Are you kidding me, Kreids. Word is they are chanting Kreider at MSG."Kreider Speeds Into a Vital Role (New York Times)
What we do have is a terrific mindset that once you enter our program, you are an "Eagle," and that's way above any individual pursuits here, like All-America honors or Hobey Baker honors. Then there is that feeling that we share this with each other – we care for each other, kind of a cultural thing, a BC thing. That is what separates us from a lot of other teams. Other teams have gotten good players, and have mastered the Xs and Os, but our emotional involvement in winning games and chasing trophies is what drives our whole engine.Q&A: A Few Minutes With Jerry York (BC Chronicle)
There are lots of average teams and there's nothing wrong with that," said York. "Of the 58 teams, probably 40 are average. That means they win one, lose one. They're in the mix. "But the next step is the elite college teams. We had to make a self-evaluation about what type of team we wanted to be. We could continue and win a couple, lose a couple. Or we could go after that elite status. If you go after that, then you have to bring a better work ethic, a better intensity to every day. "Our kids didn't want to be average."Frozen Four preview: Boston College points to quiet bus ride as turning point (USCHO.com)
When we look at Air Force, and do some research on the (Falcons), Frank (Serratore) has had some really tremendous efforts in recent NCAA games," said York. "You look at their win against Michigan, 2-0, (in 2009), their loss against Vermont in double OT (in 2009), the loss to Miami in OT (3-2, in 2008), it's remarkable how close they've been to Frozen Fours. So they have our attention." [snip] "Our whole team understands, this is a national tournament," said York. "You've got 16 teams; they're the elite teams in college hockey. And the best team wins on that particular night. We understand. We've gone deep into the tournament, we've won national tournaments, and we've also lost first games. So we're ready for Air Force. If they beat us on Friday, they're just the better team than we are that night. It won't be because we're not ready."Frozen Four road begins for BC, Maine (ESPN)
Has Jerry York really accumulated 400 wins in just 15 years? The math couldn't get much more impressive. In the 14 full seasons since York hit the 500 milestone, he's averaged 26.5 wins a year. If you throw out his 18-win seasons following the 2001 and 2008 national championships, that average goes up to 28.75. Other than those two years when the celebratory losses to the pros were near-insurmountable, his worst season has included 24 wins. Read that again. A worst season of 24 wins.Jerry York and a remarkable string of success at Boston College (USCHO.com)
"What Chris had to learn, as he gets towards the NHL, is that the pros have a lot of very smart defenseman, and they're as strong as he is and some guys are even as fast as Chris," Clark said. "So he had to learn how to play a team game. And that's what [Boston College Head Coach] Jerry York was able to provide for him. And he and that coaching staff have done a great job. Everything isn't just dependent on him. At prep school it was "if Chris went we won." At Boston College you're one of the team; he's learned how to play a team game and learned how to play his position."Rangers Director of Player Personnel Gordie Clark and his take on why Boston College is a great fit for Kreider.
The Post has learned the Rangers do not believe that 2009 first-round draft choice Chris Kreider has made an irrevocable decision to return to Boston College next year for his junior season, though that's what Eagles head coach Jerry York announced yesterday. It is believed that the Blueshirts are in communication with the winger, who will turn 20 on April 30. The Post last week was told by an individual close to Kreider that he is leaning toward returning to school.The New York Rangers won't take no for an answer, eh? (New York Post)

Entering Virgo
Sun entering Virgo brings a sign and element change, from Leo's fire to Virgo's practical earth. Food, health, grains, service and small animals are in the news and on our minds. It's one month till autumn. Pumpkins and persimmons are ripening. Venus is in Leo. We radiate warmth; we're generous, playful and affectionate. Everyone shows off in an ardent, passionate, warm-hearted, romantic and over-dramatic way, reflecting Leo's fiery nature. Think of life as Shakespeare wrote: life is a play, we are its actors on the same stage together.

The 2013 Santa Cruz County Readers' Poll and Critics' Picks It's our biggest issue of the year, and in it, your votes—more than 6,500 of them—determined the winners of The Best of Santa Cruz County Readers' Poll. New to the long list of local restaurants, shops and other notables that captured your interest: Best Beer Selection, Best Locally Owned Business, Best Customer Service and Best Marijuana Dispensary. In the meantime, many readers were ever so chatty online about potential new categories. Some of the suggestions that stood out: Best Teen Program and Best Web Design/Designer. But what about: Dog Park, Church, Hotel, Local Farm, Therapist (I second that!) or Sports Bar—not to be confused with Bra. Our favorite suggestion: Best Act of Kindness—one reader noted Café Gratitude and the free meals it offered to the Santa Cruz Police Department in the aftermath of recent crimes. Perhaps some of these can be woven into next year's ballot, so stay tuned. In the meantime, enjoy the following pages and take note of our Critics' Picks, too, beginning on page 91. A big thanks for voting—and for reading—and an even bigger congratulations to all of the winners. Enjoy. -Greg Archer, EditorBest of Santa Cruz County Readers' Poll INDEX

I think this is a good community question,
With Manny, almost everything flows through Top Rank and Bob Arum. But for Floyd, when big fighters are negotiated there are several people involved. Is there a percentage of who gets what in terms of money and percentages? For Floyd, being one of the biggest names in boxing, love him or hate him, would he be better off just managing himself? What is the official title of all these people concerning Floyd's fights?
Al Hayman
Golden Boy Promotions
Floyd Mayweather Productions
Leonard Ellerbee
Richard Schaefer
Floyd Mayweather himself
That's SIX different parties involved in negotiating and compromising. For instance is Leonard Ellerbee and adviser, an attorney, or just a good buddy of Floyd with a lot of street smarts and business sense? Do these parties all have good interests in Floyd's career and marketing? Or is there a grain of salt with whom to trust and not to trust? For instance Tyson was a huge P4P star in his prime, but he still had good friends, but inexperienced boxing people like Aaron Snowell and Jay Bright. Who from the list is the best asset and potentially worst liability for Floyd, and why? And in a big Mayweather fight, who gets what on the percentage deals and profits?

December 4, 2011 - Jennifer Brookens
A few weeks ago, when the first snowflakes fell, my kids were elated! Even though it was more like ice pellets, they insisted in going out and playing in it. And like most snowfalls, that elation lasted only about 5 minutes. Plus the icy mix wasn't enough to even erase the Halloween chalk drawings from the sidewalk.
But now that it's December, it seemed almost fitting the snow began to fall this weekend as the kids and I decorated the Christmas tree (I couldn't stand the pestering anymore, which began the day after Thanksgiving). But this time the children were content to celebrate the snowfall my way - as in staying inside with mugs of hot chocolate and watching the Charlie Brown Christmas special after we finished the tree.
Day 2, and I had to venture out into the snow... Well, it really wasn't too bad, providing everyone rememebered or quickly re-learend how to drive in winter. The temps remained in the 20s, and, well... I couldn't really complain. Perhaps if the temps stay above the goose egg, I thought, maybe winter won't be such a bear after all.
On that optimistic note, I'll revisit this once the holidays have passed...

On Thursday KCBD received a chilling 911 tape from a wife as she watches her husband try to kill their family's dogs here in Lubbock. Police believe he was attempting to "sacrifice" the dogs to "God" after the man said he smoked a legal herbal drug.
On June 14th, Lubbock Police arrested 24-year-old Joseph Johnson for animal cruelty and torture, a state felony.
During the 911 call you here Johnson's wife telling dispatch there was something wrong with her husband. She says she thought Johnson was a threat to himself, but then moments later she begins screaming over the phone.
The chilling screams are hard to listen to as she says "Oh my goodness, what are you doing. Oh my goodness he's hurting another dog." Screams follow and then she says "He's killing our dog."
According the arrest warrant when police arrived at the home, a black dog was standing in the corner of the yard with blood coming from his nose and mouth. The documents say the dog was obviously in pain, and also had a swollen eye.
The other dog, a small brown Chihuahua, was lying on its side also with blood coming from his nose and mouth.
Johnson's wife told police she saw Johnson pick of the brown dog and slam him to the ground.
When questioned, Johnson told police he had been "smoking a legal herbal drug" and that he had "disappointed his father – referring to God". He then told police he was going to "present a gift to his father."
The officer says he believes Johnson tried to kill the dogs as a sacrifice to God.
We're unsure what kind of legal herbal drug Johnson had been smoking but UMC Emergency Director Joe Sasin says that behavior is consistent with the side effects of legal synthetic marijuana like K2 or Spice.
"People often kind of gravitate to those hyper religious or hyper paranoid thoughts like people are trying to kill them, or there are a lot of religious overtones to it," said Sasin. "So, sacrificing dogs to God would be something you would expect with that."
Sasin says with the synthetic drugs readily available in stores, they see about a dozen patients come to the ER each month with psychotic episodes linked to the synthetics.
Officials with the animal shelter say the black dog is doing better. As far as the small brown dog, it's unsure whether he had to be euthanized.

Game on MSG at 4 PM.
Game Notes:
Game on MSG at 4 PM.
Game Notes:
The team needs to play a hard 40 minutes. Chaz Williams needs to play like a PG that does not turn the ball over a lot. He's a great player we need him to continue playing like one, minus the turnovers. This is a good ODU team even if we contain Gerald Lee that does not mean we will win they have other strong options. I think the keys for us winning are the following.
1. Shoot a high percentage. Driving to basket, taking uncontested shots.
2. Getting to the line. We have not been able to do this all season
3. Limit the turnovers.
The team follows those three things they are going to win. I don't care that the game is in Virginia (I know it matters), but this is a team that can win.
This is a game where our bigs have to step up defensively and on the glass because of Gerald Lee. He will get his, because he's that good, but GW has to make it tough on him, block some shots, without getting 3 or 4 fouls in 10 min. of play this time (not too much to ask in a game like this??). And, we need Halil and Szabo to help out on the glass and just make Lee work. If it's another easy game for Lee against us, it will signal big trouble.
Score Predictions:
Ken Pomeroy: Old Dominion 65, Hofstra 53
Michael Litos: Old Dominion 59, Hofstra 56
Hofstra had a nice run @ ODU shortly after entering the league. It was the beginnings of a nice little rivalry that benefitted both schools.
After the NIT quarters (@HU), the rivalry has lost a little luster. However, this will as hard a home win for ODU as we see all season.
I watched you guys v. Charlotte and saw Spears have his way - if that is the HU coming to the TED, then your prospects are not good. However, I expect Pecora to have a solid game plan and this to be a low-scoring and brutally physical contest. Will probably look a lot like the CAA quarters last year.
I have an extra Blue Room Ticket for any Hofstra fan that makes the trip. Your program has been successful and respected through the years, and I'd be happy to buy someone who makes the trip a beer.
Here's to an entertaining and well-played game.
Will be tough to beat us at home:
"Entering today's game against Hofstra, ODU has sent 16 straight visitors home in a lousy mood, building a streak that ranks ninth in the nation. "
Good luck!
Newsday says Old Dominion is favored by 12.

A Chinese Christian High School in Alameda, California, Taps Into a Growing Demand
Going to a U.S. high school and learning to learn like Americans are what increasing numbers of students in China are hoping to do in order to improve their chances of getting into an American college, CCHS says. As an evangelical private high school with experience teaching students from China, CCHS has been taking in more of these overseas students and is starting to refer others to like-minded Christian high schools in the U.S.
Foreign students like Mr. [Tom] Zhou now make up about a third of the 217-person student body at CCHS, the U.S.'s oldest accredited school founded by and catering to evangelical Christians from China, according to superintendent Robin Sun Hom. The school also has students from Taiwan and even one Mandarin speaker from Venezuela.

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
No one will be charged after a man was shot and killed outside a south Toledo club in the early morning hours of November 13, 2013.
Police say 26-year-old Jomar Quinn was shot after an altercation escalated outside Royale Place, a south Toledo club near Airport Highway and Wenz Road. Just hours after the shooting, police said they knew who pulled the trigger, but had not made an arrest.
Now, a Lucas County grand jury has decided not to induct the shooter. The day of the shooting police said he or she had a license to carry a concealed weapon and that Quinn was armed at the time of the shooting.

Zeebrugge is the gateway to Bruges, the capital of the Belgian province of West Flanders. Bruges was a wealthy city during medieval times when trade with Baltic ports flourished. The Zwin River, connecting Bruges with the North Sea, slowly began to narrow, marking the end of the city's great trade period. Today, visitors flock to Bruges to enjoy the charming, well-preserved medieval architecture lining the old and narrow roads and canals and to see some of Western Europe's finest artistic masterpieces.
The following Shore Excursions are available for this port on this cruise, and may be reserved beginning 240 days before the cruise begins for guests receiving Concierge amenities, and 180 days before the cruise begins for all other guests. Guests receiving Concierge amenities will receive a 5% discount off of the prices shown below for Regent Choice tours.
Smaller and more contained than many other Flemish cities, Bruges gives the impression that you have stepped back in time to the 14th century. A short drive from the port brings you to the old city where your guide will walk you through the narrow, twisting cobbled streets, past picturesque views of ancient buildings, tree-lined canals and gabled facades. Stroll through the bustling marketplace; see the Belfry Tower, the Town Hall and the Chapel of the Holy Blood. Discover another aspect of the city during what will undoubtedly be the highlight of your tour, a 30-minute canal boat ride. While sitting back in a small boat, you can enjoy the serene waterways of this romantic historic city. After some free time to explore on your own, re-board your motor coach for the return journey to the ship.
Please note: This tour includes approximately 2 hours 30 minutes of walking - at times on uneven ground, cobblestone surfaces and some steps to negotiate at the canal boats. It is not considered suitable for wheelchair guests or those with mobility concerns. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended. Dress conservatively to enter cathedral.

School reform negotiators tell FOX Chicago News they may be on the verge of an agreement to lengthen Chicago's scandalously short school day by one full hour.
Some experts blame the poor performance of many public school students on the fact that they spend less time in class than students in any other big city.
State Sen. Kimberly Lightford (D-Maywood) said that no final deal has been reached, despite months of intense negotiations with unions, school administrators and others.
Leaders of the state's two powerful teachers unions are adamantly refusing to sign off on any agreement that would strip them of the right to strike. That's been a key goal of reformers.
They consider teacher strikes a "nuclear weapon" that gives teachers unions an unfair advantage in bargaining with local school boards.
There's another little-known factor that has enabled teachers unions to block reform proposals. Their leaders wield a huge political war chest. In last year's campaigns alone, teachers unions gave a whopping $4.5 million to candidates seeking seats in the General Assembly.
One reform group is trying to change that lop-sided power equation. Stand for Children Illinois, founded by Jonah Edelman, has raised a $3 million war chest.
Near the end of last year's campaign, they gave $650,000 to a small group of reform-minded legislators. Edelman said they may play an even bigger role in the 2012 campaign.
Edelman is among those who have participated in the negotiations overseen by Lightford. She is assistant majority leader of the State Senate. She said she hopes the chamber will act next week to send a final school reform bill to the Illinois House.
Lightford said one collective bargaining proposal the teachers unions might accept would require a 45-90 day "fact finding" process. It would begin after collective bargaining reached an impasse. Both sides would have to make public their best and final offer. An arbitrator would choose one or the other. But teachers could reject the decision and go out on strike, Lightford said.
Edelman said in a taping of FOX Chicago Sunday that he was encouraged by the prospect of a longer school day for Chicago students.
"Let me just say this. The teachers I've talked to, and I've had the privilege of meeting with many teachers here in Chicago, they want a longer school day and year. They want a richer curriculum that comes from that."

Main :: James Tyler Variax Guitars
Support community for JTV.
by pauliusmm on 2013-01-12 08:20:06
Is it true you can't set your action pretty low without sacrifiying the modeled tones? By low i mean 4/64 at the last fret, thats how i like to set my guitar.
What is your action on JTVs?
by Krontab on 2013-01-12 08:25:04
Treble or Bass side. I found with light picking I could run it as low as 2/32" on the bass side at the 12th fret and 1/32' on the treble. I found that this did sacrifice sustain as all low action tends to because the starting amplitude of the string has to be lower to accomodate having less space to vibrate in. In the end I run 3/32" on the bass side and 2/32' on the treble (measured at 12th fret) and I can play pretty hard without buzz.
by silverhead on 2013-01-12 08:52:18
It's hard to answer based just on the action measurement because fret buzz is a combination of action and playing style.A heavy hand with higher action can generate more buzz than a lighter touch with lower action. It requires experimentation for each individual to find their preferred combination of action, touch, and acceptable fret buzz with modeled guitars (any modeled guitar - not just Variax).
IMHO, I find that fret buzz (any amount of fret buzz) definitely has a negative effect on the modeling. After experimenting I ended up with a slightly higher action on my JTV than on a standard guitar. That, for me, provided the best balance of action and modeling tonality given my playing style. I think you will need to experiment to find your personal balance.
by Krontab on 2013-01-12 09:06:53
Agreed, another thing often overlooked overlooked is how subtle amp feedback can affect buzz. I'm not talking about the howling sort, but like the effect that having to much bass dialed in on your amp. This can add energy into the string as well and cause buzz where you did not have it when the guitar was unplugged. I encounter this with hollow bodies and accoustics quite often, I will reitterate silverheads point that because of the physical interaction with the piezo in the bridge vs the magnetic pickup when you are using modeled mode the buzz is more pronounced. You have to treat it like an accoustic in setup because where a magnetic pickup ignores some buzz the piezo will pick it up.
The information above may not be current, and you should direct questions to the current forum or review the manual.

Beer pours a rich dark black color with a good bit of tan head. Almost 2 fingers worth.
Beer smells roasty and earthy, wtih a bit of hops. Not much to smell.
Beer tastes roasty on the initial sip and then follows with some very light citrusy and bitter hops. Hops and malt are both a bit too understated for my liking.
Mouthfeel is just too thick.
Overall, just misses the mark. Could have used either more roasty or hoppy. Both seem to be a bit too muted in this beer.

I love the hops and I love a good Baltic porter so I picked this up today to see how the two styles mesh.Poured into a 1/2 liter stein a deep dark roasted chesnut brown with some deep reddish hue,a huge fluffy tan colored crown that never really settles atop.Dark roast,molasses,and earthy hops in the nose,the hops are not in your face but are pretty "big".Heavy roast and molasses-like sweetness up front with a bit of coffee,the hops provide earthiness and leafy notes.Hmm I wanted to like this more than I did,I have had hopped up big porters,and American black ales but this is a little different.It's decent but not great although I applaud SA for giving it a try.

In a pint glass this beer was a very dark brown with a thick tan head. There was abundant lacing.
A little light on the aroma. A bit of citrus and a bit of roasted malt.
Things came through more in the taste. Sweet chocolate, coffee. Some grapefruit.
The flavors all worked well together, making this nedium-bodied beer fun to drink.

A - Pours a clear deep reddish-brown with almost two fingers of creamy tan head. Head has good retention leaves nice lacing.
S - Big chocolate aroma, somewhat herbal and a big dose of citrus hops. Some roasted malt as well.
T - taste is similarly chocolate forward, with a cocoa aspect as well. More roasted malts in the taste than the smell. Hops come in midway and bring orange seat bitterness through the finish. Pretty good, bit I was enjoying it more before the hops came in.
M - Medium mouthfeel starts with some creaminess, before turning bitter and dry.
O - Pretty good, but I think I would enjoy this more
than with a more subdued hop profile.

12 oz bottle. Pours dark reddish brown with a medium light tan head that goes to a thin film that leaves some lacing.
The aroma is strange - roasted malts and maybe some smokey, hoppy plastic and leather?
The flavor is sweet caramel malts with smokey roast that has decent resiny bitterness in the finish. The mouthfeel is medium bodied.
Overall, I didn't really care for this. It was too sweet with a lot of off notes that I couldn't quite identify.

LOOK: Very active carbonation, epic lacing, black, opaque
SMELL: Herbal, hop resin, faintly citric, coffee, sweetness, cocoa powder, dried plums, faint alcohol
TASTE: Very smooth, full bodied, roasty, very sweet, milk chocolate, burnt sugar, toffee, hop oil, hop bitterness, nougat, charred drying finish
Pretty good, seems a bit chaotic with sweetness, roasted flavors and hoppiness not meshing all of the way. Worth a try.

Appearance: chestnut brown in color, 1 inch head, clear, moderate carbonation
Smell: citrus hops and light baker's chocolate
Taste: baker's chocolate, some dark and milk chocolate, citrus hops especially towards the end.
Mouthfeel: medium-light bodied, moderate-high carbonation, sweet start that gets to be moderately bitter fairly quickly.
Overall: This strikes me as more of a sweet Black IPA than a Baltic Porter. I love the multiple layers of different chocolates in this one. I would pick this one up again if I was in the mood for a black ipa.

Thanks to blutt59 for sharing this bottle.
The beer pours a very dark brownish-red color with a tan head. The aroma is made up mainly of chocolate and roasted malt, with a little bit of pine thrown in from the hops. The flavor is similar. The pine from the hops adds a decent amount of bitterness, but there is also a chocolate and roasted malt backbone with a little bit of cream thrown in. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

Poured from bottle into a Sam Adams Glass.
Appearance: Dark red carmel color, beige head of about three fingers that lasted a long time with heavy lacing on the glass.
Smell: Smokey, hops, roasted malts?
Mouthfeel/Taste: Medium bodied, smoother that I thought it would be. Taste was a smoked flavor with bittersweet hops.
Overall: Not really my type of beer, surprised this was released with a summer IPA varity pack, I would think this was more of a fall/winter beer. Unfortunatly I did not enjoy this beer and will not buy it again.

4.38/5 rDev +18.4%
Serving glass: Poured from bottle into Dimpled Mug.
Appearance: Dark reddish-brown with thin light tan head.
Smell: Citrus and pine are most noticeable, over top of chocolate and a light roastiness. As with hoppy Imperial Stouts and strong Black Ales, the combination reminds me of roses and meat. Odd, but I have gotten used to it.
Taste: Tastes like a fruity, chocolatly, clean lager, but sabotaged with a buttload of citrusy and piney hops. The juxtaposition is great.
Feel: Definitely has the mouthfeel of a Baltic Porter (medium full body, moderate carbonation, smooth, clean), but with an unusually high level of dryness.
Overall: Fantastic clashing of styles that is way more adventurous than I expected of Sam Adams. Extremely impressed.

3.68/5 rDev -0.5%
Dark brown with an extraordinarily large, billowy head. Thick head with good retention.
Deep roasted malt aromas with a bit of coffee in the background. Earthy and rich. Pretty nice.
Roasted flavors, big malt profile, and some coffee flavors again. Sweet as it warms up but pretty bitter initially.
Creamier body than I expected. Smooth and pretty drinkable. Alcohol content is masked.
This is not an amazing brew but certainly worth trying. Rich, pleasant, and roasty.

Forever has always existed.
In the mythology of Oceanic peoples, it's been there along with Darkness and the Sea.
The Earth came from the efforts of Old Spider, who soared over the endless sea and found a giant clam. She opened it and crawled inside, finding a snail there to share the space with her. She set the snail in the west and made it into the Moon to shed some light into the darkness. Together they raised up the top of the clam shell to make the sky, pushing it until it was wide open.
Then they pushed the bottom half of the clam shell in the other direction to make the ground. The earth was called Papa and the sky Ranga. These are the two first beings who created all the flowers, plants, trees and animals on the islands, and fish in the sea.
They celebrated all their open space by making as many beautiful creatures as they could imagine, but they still remained separated by the work of the original Old Spider. Each night, Ranga weeps for his beloved Papa earth, and this is where the morning dew comes from.
Polynesia means "many islands" and when you see these pictures, you will want to visit all of them. To make it simple, the islands sit in a triangle described by connecting Hawaii, New Zealand and Easter Island.
There are over a thousand of these islands of surfer's paradise in the central and south Pacific Ocean. It's stunning. Look at the color of the water here! And the sunset... these speak for themselves. Could you be happy in this little house? How about some reef diving inside a lagoon?
Put this one in full screen and don't come back. Love, 360.

I was googling "Patrick Marleau awkward" today like I usually do, and I came across a "Marleau facts" tumblr. Unsurprisingly they're rip offs from BoC. Can BoC legal sue them?! And on another note, this thread from HF Boards showed up and was hilarious. A user there found the original Patrick Marleau facts "highly insulting." We can only assume that Patrick Marleau himself made that comment.
Marleau, Thornton, Seto and Pavs over in Germany, taken by Brodie Brazil. Any suggestions for a caption? Mine: "Varying degrees of awkward."
Because I know the readers here at BOC would appreciate this more than anyone else. H/T to @hockeydarling.
For those who want to see all of the Zito pictures that were posted this season.
Matt Vasgersian authors the most uncomfortable segue in the history of television in trying to lighten the mood after video of Brad Hawpe being hit in the head by a throw. I really like Vasgersian as a play-by-play man, but that's very unpleasent to watch. It's like something from the British Office, but it's real. . . For what it's worth, I do think Vasgersian was pretty stand up in showing his face to the Kissing Suzy Kolber crowd and owning up to his mistake in the comments section: "I am an idiot .. Save the racial stuff which is just flat out wrong, almost all of what has been posted on my regrettably horrific timing is spot on .. It was a bad decision made on live tv and i can absolutley understand how that make an announcer sound insensitive. Bad on the spot judgement. Nobody feels worse about it than I do guys" HT to Deadspin on both stories.

No secret that school gets back in session for most of the country about now. No matter if you are a student yourself, or have kids going to school, you could not have possibly missed annual barrage of Back to School ads, promos, sales, and such. You know, the annual tradition that begins barking to us in the dog days of August as an unwelcome reminder that in a few preciously short more weeks summer will be drawing to a close. August also, oddly, seems to spawn forth the release of seasonal (?) pumpkin beers, which at this point have already been on the shelves for several weeks. But the process of getting them there started much, much earlier.
With an average brewing time presumably in the 2-3 week range, after which they are then stockpiled and sent to wholesalers around the country to eventually hit retailers' shelves by—in some seasonally-challenged instances—early- to mid- August. That means that while you were only a month or so into your summer tan and more concerned with your beer-geek friends critiquing you for pouring your local brewery's summer wheat into a freezer-kept mug (after all, it's so damn hot today right? Well, I actually agree with them…), your favorite pumpkin ale brewer was taking delivery of massive loads of pumpkin and working on their posters reading "Get Yours Today!!" (complete with fallen leaves, dried cornstalks and other autumnal imagery that Mother Nature will be catching up with three months later).
It's the way of the world. Hell, I remember one summer many many years ago in Los Angeles I was dating a girl that was a personal assistant to Neil Diamond, and I recall her bemoaning that she was growing sick of hearing the Christmas songs he was working on recording for his upcoming holiday release. (Never mind that Neil is Jewish; I thought the end result was a great effort.) And y'know, I never have really forgiven myself for not taking at least enough advantage of that previous relationship to swing by the offices for a pic and an autograph.
Anywho. While you were diving into the pool / lake / river / ocean / sprinklers / hydrant in the middle of the summer, your fall sweaters are receiving their final stitching in China and Bangladesh. Or thereabouts.
But I digress. We were talking about Back to School, which, as I haven't managed to get to yet but will now, reminded me of my relatively recent commencement speech I gave to the 2012 graduating class at Cuyamaca College just a few short months ago. Why would anyone ask me to give a Commencement speech one might reasonably ask? Well, the previous spring I'd been invited to give an environmental keynote to a Green Business Symposium that was being held on the campus, and I guess they liked my message. And delivery. I'd hoped they did, but I admittedly get a little bombastic at times, especially if it's a topic that I care about, and I was pretty certain that I was either going to eventually get invited to give another talk perhaps, or politely asked never to set foot on campus again. Fortunately it was the former, but I hadn't expected to get elevated to Commencement-delivery status. I was honored. And gave an enthusiastic Yes!
But what would I say to a group of students about to head out into the quote-unquote "real world"? As I contemplated my own graduation some 25 years previous (not that I can even recall who gave my university's commencement or any of the words of wisdom that they gave unfortunately), I tried to think about what I wish I'd been told when I was handed my degree, and the pen just couldn't stop flowing. The proverbial pen, that is. I actually used my laptop, as I am now.
Anyway, I think I did OK, if I may say so myself. And I really enjoyed getting a chance to share my thoughts and perspectives with the young and not-so-young minds (Cuyamaca is quite delightfully diverse, with graduating students from the 2012 class ranging from a brilliant 18 year old, and an equally-inspiriational-but-in-a-different-way octogenarian gearing up to take their next step. Since then, I've seen some nice feedback from a snippet of my speech that was posted by the college, and I thought, well heck! Why not share my thoughts with the world? Or at least the thin slice of the world that's represented by you, my dear readers.
Yes, some people might disagree or scrunch their noses at some of my suggestions, but that's alright as it's quite impossible to say anything that's worth saying at all without at least a modest percentage of scrunched noses… so if you feel inclined, please do scrunch away. While I may not agree with the scrunching of your nose, I will defend to the death your right to scrunch it. Or something. No matter. I wrote it for those who, like me, are rarely satisfied with the status quo… those who are always looking for ways to innovate, improvise, and improve along the way. If you're of that cloth, feel free to read on. And if you're not, you may benefit from reading it most.
So, without further delay, mention of sweaters, Christmas albums from Jewish singers, August onslaughts of pumpkin beers, or other asides, here is the text of my 2012 Cuyamaca College Commencement Speech:

The British government's emergency committee has met today after yesterday's attack by two men near London's military barracks.
An active duty British soldier was killed. One of the attackers went on video to explain the crime, waiving his bloodied hands with a meat cleaver near the body that lay in the street. Police shot and wounded both suspects.
Prime Minister David Cameron says there are strong indications the attack was terrorism.

A man who robbed a Sioux City convenience store with a hammer will spend time behind bars.
As part of a plea agreement, 42-year-old Shannon Ivory pled guilty to one count of robbery, and one county of burglary. He was sentenced to 25 years in prison. He must serve at least seven years.
In September, police say Ivory went into the Kum and Go store on Pierce Street.
They say he showed a hammer and demanded money from the clerk. He was subdued by customers who entered the store.

You wake up at dawn and get the morning paper. You decide you'd rather read it somewhere else this time, so you walk to the nearest coffee shop and order a tall vanilla latte, skim please. While reading the paper you come across a somewhat controversial article about the war in Iraq and you express your strong, dissenting opinion to a nearby person who is also reading the article. A debate is opened up, and soon others in the vicinity are joining in and expressing their various opinions on the war, on politics in this country, on this country in general.
This is perhaps a common illustration of what many Americans do every day, nothing out of the ordinary — a typical morning consisting of a caffeinated beverage or two and an exercising of free speech to go along with it. But did you ever, in the midst of your coffee and debate, think about why? Or how? How you are able to do this every day?
It's so easy to take all of our rights for granted – though I try not to, I'm certainly guilty of it. It's easy to criticize a war from the comfort of our living rooms, wrapped in blankets on comfy couches as CNN bombards us yet again with more reports of political unrest, more suicide bombers, and a higher death toll than yesterday. It's not hard to speak up then, and I've been known to speak up, too. What I try to remember, though, is that I have no room to talk. Until I have been taken from my family for four years, as my grandpa was during World War II, until I have been drafted to fight in Vietnam, as my dad was, or until I am a DOUBLE amputee who continues to fight on the front lines of America's Afghan surge, as 27-year-old Dan Luckett is doing, until then I have no room to talk.
I know we honor soldiers regularly on designated days, by sticking yellow ribbons on our vehicles, and by placing flags outside our homes. It still doesn't seem like enough. I can't even imagine for a second what they're all going through daily. I try to keep perspective when I have a "bad" day at work or a rough time with my kids. My bad days are nothing. I'm not brave enough to risk my life for my country, to protect and fight for so many freedoms and rights that so many of us take for granted. I am in awe of each and every man and woman who is that selfless and strong, that courageous to willingly (or unwillingly – you think anyone WANTS to go to war?) fight for our rights every day, as we sit back here and freely criticize the war they're fighting, when ironically, the fact that they're fighting and continuing to fight is the only reason we have this right to free speech and right to criticize anything at all.
I'm not trying to sound preachy. This is just a topic that gets to me, partly because I don't always feel worthy of all the rights I have since I have never stood on the front lines to get them myself, and partly because it baffles, annoys, and bewilders the living crap out of me that we live in a society that exalts and worships the likes of reality TV stars…for what? Having a pulse? We should know the names of these soldiers who are dying every day FOR US, and instead we know the names of every untalented, unworthy, unbearable "star" in Hollywood. Why?
