Lavish Lifestyle in the White House: Another Round of Golf Anyone?
Original post made by Jeff Davis on Apr 8, 2013
What seems stuck in the craw of millions of patriotic Americans is Obamas' 1 percent lifestyle the endless ski and beach vacations for the couple and their daughters, including the president's 118th round of golf while in office.
"My kids asked me a couple of years ago why we never went on family vacations," states patriot Steve Gibson. "I told them that we had to pay all of our expenses first and there wasn't any money left over for a family vacation. Then I keep seeing … stories about the Obamas taking trips everywhere and I don't know what to think. I have been laid off twice in the past year and am currently in the job search mode again. I just don't understand why the Obamas think they deserve to vacation on my tax dollar."
Patriot Ron Kaye agrees that "this is not about those pampered girls, it's about the money, which looks worse and worse every month. But the Obamas don't care what it 'looks' like. They ARE the first family and by G-d they're going to go when and where they want on as many planes as it takes; taxpayers be damned. Can anyone spell uppity?"
Patriot Charlene Sanders echoes Mr. Kaye with a Marie Antoinette twist. "He doesn't give a damne' about us. He's the president and by god he's going to do what he wants … to heck with whatever anybody else thinks. Seems like a 'Let them eat cake' attitude to me. And then his uppity wife tells us how to eat in a healthful way. What crust! And coming from someone who was lower crust until they oozed their way into the Oval Office."
White House watcher Barry Kahn juxtaposes the first couple's lavish lifestyle with the president's decision to cancel all White House tours. "Their extravagance boggles my mind. Why is it that they can get away with this stuff? The White House is closed to tours by American born citizens for supposed security reasons and meanwhile some posers from Kenya can globe trot with security in tow and the media says nothing?"
Patriot Scott Hord is flat-out disheartened. "I used have to some measure of respect for the Office of the President, until that ... well, regardless of who was in command, but this current President and his family putting on airs has truly left a bad taste in my mouth."
Constitution reader Jason Lockwood also sounds fed up. "You know this Obama high-steppin', jazz-listinin', high falutin' lifestyle? I'm continually amazed that our country continually allows this narcissistic family to live such lavish lifestyles at the expense of the rest of the hard working 'Joes.' I'm printing off a copy of my comment here and sending it in with my quarterly payment to the IRS. That'll show 'em."

Really...have you looked at the people in pleasanton...they take more vacation, pull kids out of school all the time, etc. Etc. Etc.
I think the potus deserves his vacations

Surely, the author if this article, Joseph Curl, did not intend for you to copy and paste without attribution or even a link to the Washington Times where it appeared. As an editor at the Drudge Report, though, Mr. Curl's opinions are biased and often verge on hate speech. Why would you present his words (with a few additions of your own, such as "Patriot" So-and-So) here as your own?
If you think you can do the job better, Jeff Davis, throw your hat in the ring. But, please, do not stand on the sidelines mocking and disapproving the president and his family without at least acknowledging the incredible difficulty of the job he has been elected twice now to perform.

Hello Neighbor,
Yes, Washington Times, Drudge Report, Weasel Zippers have all presented variants of this piece - all popular sites where Enquiring conservative minds search out the Truth. I think there is much more going on in the piece, and thus my own contributions in order to reveal the rather poorly disguised 'point of view' that's being pushed. It seems you missed it, so perhaps it needs to be made even clearer.
Variants of this 'story', including my own, emphasize that the Obama family does not deserve to be in the White House. Bush took far more days off than Obama, and Bush's daughters ... well, you do remember them don't you? But the gist of this piece in all its variant forms is that the Bush family deserved the vacation time, while the Obamas (for rather obvious reasons, if you're a conservative who reads the Moony-owned Wash Times, the Drudge drudges, or Weasel Zippers) do not deserve the vacation time. Restated: when the Bushes or Romneys go to Martha's Vineyard, they're simply hobnobbing with their own; when the Obamas go there, the presupposition among many (probably most) conservatives is that they're being uppity. That this piece and its variants has circulated through so many conservative publications, I think, speaks volumes as to the level of 'moral consciousness' of so many conservatives. It expresses the very core of their being.

By JENNIFER MEIER
For more than an hour, NorthWood High School senior Brittney Martin left her wheelchair by the side of a large tank in the Denver aquarium, donned scuba gear and went face to face with sharks, barracudas, sea turtles and a variety of other fish.
This was no typical family vacation, but a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Martin and another teen, 19-year-old Jonathon Wallace of Chicago, to complete the last few dives that would earn them their scuba-diving certifications.
The opportunity was funded by Epsilon Sigma Alpha sorority in partnership with Riley's Children Foundation, A-1 Scuba and Travel Aquatics Center, the Denver Aquarium and the Cody Unser First Step Foundation.
Martin, who has spina bifida, and Wallace, who has cerebral palsy, are just the third group of students to complete the program.
Great opportunity
The journey to receive her scuba certification began several years ago at Camp Riley at Bradford Woods near Martinsville. The camp offers traditional activities for children ages 8-18 with disabilities.
"I can't imagine how it would be now if it weren't for Camp Riley," Martin said. "One of my counselor's was also in a wheelchair and I really got to learn what it was like to live independently."
Through the seven years that Martin attended camp, she was able to try a variety of activities including horseback riding, rock wall climbing, water skiing and scuba diving.
And before she aged out of the camp, the directors chose her to be a representative for Riley, talking about her camp experiences at the annual Board of Governor's Luncheon at the James Witcomb Riley Home in Indianapolis.
It was there that Martin was offered the chance to receive her scuba certification. On Valentine's Day, Martin, her mother Dori, 10-year-old brother Treyton and her grandmother Becky Hochstetler boarded a plane and headed to Denver.
Also on board was Maureen Manier, Vice President of Communications and Marketing for Riley's Children Foundation.
"I'm also very involved in Camp Riley," Manier said. "(Martin) responded so well to the introduction to scuba diving. And she is a tremendous role model for other campers."
Friday was spent reviewing basic skills at the A-1 Scuba Travel and Aquatics Center.
That evening the entourage went to the Unser Racing Indoor Karting Center.
Two-time Indianapolis 500 winner Al Unser Jr., gave Martin a few quick lessons on how to operate a specially equipped hand-controlled kart.
"I had never driven before — at all," Martin said. "I spun out multiple times and crashed. I wasn't going to do that again."
But she did. And this time there were no spinouts or crashes.
"The first time she raced it was pretty harrowing for her," Manier said. "She may be a very sweet girl, but she is also very determined. I am so proud of her, so impressed."
Taking a dive
Saturday, however, was the big day for Martin and Wallace.
"We dove in two different tanks," Martin said. "First, we just needed to prove we could dive in salt water with marine life all around. The instructors had to know we could use all the hand signals."
Then the two were ushered off to a 15-foot tank brimming with sea creatures large and small, as well as hundreds of people peering in from outside the glass.
"It's pretty crazy to breathe under water. It just doesn't seem natural at first," Martin said. "When you are used to it, it's kind of quiet. You just hear yourself breathing. It's very relaxing."
The rule was, Martin said, you couldn't reach out and touch the fish, but if they happen to swim by and touch you that was fine.
Martin came face to face with sharks, large groupers, sting rays and a few very friendly sea turtles.
"I didn't get too close to the eels," Martin said. "They were pretty creepy looking."
The dive lasted one hour, but Martin and Wallace could have stayed longer.
"Watching them was amazing and inspiring," Manier said. "She handled it so gracefully and beautifully. She dived like she did it every day."
Manier also called the whole experience emotional.
"They both did so well," Manier said. "There were a lot of people watching that weekend and waving to them. They had no idea that when the dive was over, these two divers had to be lifted up and put in wheelchairs."
From the time she got there until the moment the group left, Manier said Martin was all smiles.
"The last night we were there she told me she didn't want to go to sleep because she knew when she woke up, she would have to leave." Manier said.
Martin's mom also received her certification. Her brother was allowed to snorkel in the tank and her grandmother video taped the entire experience for her to relive anytime she wants.
"I definitely want to do this again," Martin said. "I don't want to get this certification and then do nothing with it."
The trip also included a tour of The Denver Post newspaper offices. That visit meant a lot to Martin who plans on studying journalism at Grace College next fall.

Omar Morales feels lucky to be here for his son Joshua's 10th birthday on Monday. Morales was one of the passengers on board a USAir flight that made an emergency landing at Newark Liberty International Airport about 1 a.m. Saturday morning.
The flight had taken off from Philadelphia. It was a small twin-engine aircraft with 34 people on board.
As the pilots were preparing to land the landing gear malfunctioned. One pilot came out of the cockpit with a flashlight, looked out the window, and said there was a problem with the landing gear.
Morales said the pilots circled the airport twice apparently trying to dislodge the landing gear. But when that didn't work, on the third try they had to make an emergency landing.
Morales then called his wife and texted her "emergency landing. love you and the boys."
The plane landed on its belly and the cabin filled with smoke. When it came to a stop, everyone clapped, Morales said.
No one was injured. Authorities are investigating.

VISTA (CNS) - Arraignment is now scheduled Wednesday for a suspected drunken driver accused of going the wrong way on Interstate 15 near Via Rancho Parkway in Escondido, killing a recently retired father of five riding a Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
Brian Joseph Webb, 34, of Murrieta, was arrested shortly after Saturday's head-on crash on suspicion of gross vehicular manslaughter, driving under the influence causing bodily injury, driving under the influence with a prior conviction, hit-and-run resulting in death and driving with a suspended license, according to jail records.
Webb was driving a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 when he entered northbound I-15 the wrong way from the northbound Del Lago offramp around 12:35 p.m. Saturday, the California Highway Patrol reported.
About the same time, neurophysiologist Robin Vaughan, 60, of Escondido was riding his 2002 Harley-Davidson northbound in the same lane and was struck head-on by Webb's vehicle, the CHP reported.
Officers found open containers of alcohol in Webb's truck, according to the CHP. He was arrested at the scene.
Vaughan and his wife of 40 years, Donetta, were preparing to serve an 18-month mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, U-T San Diego reported. In addition to his five children and wife, Vaughan is survived by 15 grandchildren, according to the newspaper.

Inspired by: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Devising an Easter egg decorating technique that truly outshines all the others is no easy task — unless you happen to be an industrious little miner with a store of diamonds at your disposal. Adorned with faux gems and silvery "diamond dust" glitter, these paper eggs are just as sparkly as the ones the seven dwarfs are apt to leave in Snow White's basket. Hide them around the yard for a holiday scavenger hunt, or attach ribbon hangers and turn them into sun-catching window ornaments.
You'll need:
- Egg template
- Scissors
- Pencil
- Scrapbook paper or other colored paper
- Glue stick
- Clear faux gem stickers and/or glitter glue
1. Print the template and cut it out.
2. For each egg you plan to make, use the template to cut out two matching egg shapes from scrapbook paper.
3. Glue the egg shapes back to back with the colored sides facing out.
4. Decorate the egg with faux gems and/or glitter glue.
5. If you choose to hang your eggs as ornaments, simply make a small hole in the top of each one and thread a piece of thin ribbon (or monofilament) through it. Then knot the ends together to create a loop.

Dow Chemical to pursue legal action against Kuwait
January 8, 2009
Dow Chemical Co announced it will take legal action against Petrochemical Industries Co of Kuwait and is seeking more than $2.5 billion in damages from Kuwait for backing out of a joint venture agreement, according to Reuters. Last month, Kuwait decided to scrap a deal to form a $17.4 billion petrochemical joint venture with Dow, potentially upsetting Dow''s plans to buy rival Rohm & Haas Co. Dow had planned to use proceeds from the joint venture to repay a large part of the debt financing for the $15.3 billion Rohm & Haas acquisition. Under the joint venture agreement, Petrochemical Industries was to pay Dow $7.5 billion.


text: February 10, 2014 at 5:00 AM How staff benefits and student services drive up college tuition Posted by Katherine Long Corrected version Higher-education watchdogs have often speculated that the rapid rise in college tuition is largely due to administrative bloat – or the increase in college administrative costs. The size of administration and high pay for college presidents and professors are often fingered as root causes. It's an important issue, because if costs could be cranked down or at least held steady, it would open the doors for more students to get their degrees without going into debt. A new report by the Delta Cost Project takes a look at the nationwide increases, and finds some of these ideas hold true — but others do not. It is true that compensation costs per employee are rising steadily, and there's a widespread increase in the number of administrative jobs. In fact, "professional staff increased twice as fast as executive and managerial positions and account for nearly 20 to 25 percent of all campus jobs," according to the report. But the authors found that most of the increase was for jobs that provide non-instructional student services, like counseling, admissions, financial aid and athletics. Overall, public research universities and community colleges average 16 fewer employees per 1,000 full-time students today than they did in 2000.

Our Science – Das Website
Debananda Das, Ph.D.
Dr. Das's current research interests are as follows:
1. Prediction of affinity of small molecule inhibitors against proteins with resistant mutations: The prediction of activity of a new inhibitor against mutant proteins is important in light of drug resistance in several diseases including AIDS and cancer. More reliable predictions of the binding affinity of inhibitors against proteins with drug-resistant mutations would be of use in the design of novel and more potent inhibitors. We are working on improving the performance of current free energy of binding algorithms with improved treatment of solvation and electrostatics to more accurately determine the binding free energies of newer potential inhibitors.
2. Interaction of small molecule inhibitors with CCR5: We had built a robust model of the interaction of CCR5 with its inhibitors. Over the years we have made improvements to our original model to rationalize new experimental data. We are currently working on deducing structural interactions of several new classes of inhibitors with CCR5. The structure-to-activity relationships deduced by our models help in the future design and synthesis of inhibitors with improved potency and properties.
3. Virtual Screening to identify new class of inhibitors: We are applying virtual screening techniques in identifying new class of inhibitors against well validated cellular and viral targets of HIV.

Most kids can relate to transport images, but not all kids have a love for them. Those that do will adore colouring in these printable colouring pages. Be it a big rig, ship or plane, set the imagination free when these images are brought to life.
Colouring in pages which you can print out from home are a great alternative to buying colouring books.
Online colouring activities on Kidspot include hundreds of free children's printable colouring pages for your little one to create hours of fun. Colouring in is an activity for kids of all ages, with younger toddlers preferring to ignore the "colour in the lines" rule -- be prepared for a little creativity and fun rather than a neat presentation of a coloured image.
Some learning experts worry that giving children colouring in pages too young can stifle their creativity and somehow hinder their ability to draw and master creating hand-drawn shapes. Colouring in activities do help with hand-eye co-ordination, though.
Colouring in is also a great activity to help children develop their fine motor skills, which can help develop things like writing, dressing and being able to feed themselves later on. It can be useful not only as an activity to do on a rainy day, but ultimately help them meet developmental milestones later on.

Our week long vacation with another couple was awesome!! The villa was like home. The 3rd bedroom with twin beds was where we slept. We were able to push the beds together to make a king. Perfect for 2 or 3 couples to stay here--or a family. It had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The manager was very helpful in making us feel welcome. She went out of her way to make sure we experienced Hawaii to the fullest. We could've walked to the lagoons/beach, but it would've been a jaunt if we'd have taken the chairs and snorkling equipment and other beach gear that was there in the garage. I will recommend this villa to others.

Owners response: Great couples. I had a great time visiting with them and making suggestions on what was worth the extra effort on the island. First day to the Villa I met up with them after they settled their gear and took them to Costco which is about 2 miles from the house. Numerous times during their stay I received calls on where to go or what to do. So glad they had a great time and I look forward to their return. Thanks Geri

I haven't had a vacation in ages and won on a lottery ticket. I decided to take my two teenagers to Hawaii. We scored with this home. Everything for entertaining teenagers on an inexpensive vacation. The house was spotless two twins beds in a large room with separate Tv for two active teens was great. Boogie boards and beach chairs. Walking to the beach was just like to owner said. REstaurants and deli close by and right across the steet to the New Disney resort and all the Lagoons. Short jaunt to the city for excursions and the museums. Loved it!

I took my parents to Hawaii for their 40th anniversary. This house was perfect a main floor unit for dad made access to the unit and the wonderful Lanai just perfect. A large green area between the lanai allowed for privacy but made the outside dining very private yet open to the great out doors. It was very private for all parties concerned as the two bedrooms were on separated by all the living area. Walking distance to all the restaurants/fine dining right out the back door was so convenient. Walking distance to the beach was right across the street. Mom and I walked the Lagoons every morning before 7:00 AM it was just fabulous. Shopping and sight seeing in Honolulu was just 25 minutes away. Centrally located to sight seeing and the airport was so important.

We had a great time in this wonderful accommodation. The beds were incredible, I haven't had such a great night for sleeping prior to arriving or since I left. Their Westin Heavenly beds are a special additional to a wonderfully appointed unit. Close to the lagoons and beach activities. The home was stocked with beach towels, Boogie boards, coolers and umbrellas for the beach.
Responses from the manager while we were there were prompt and they took care of everything immediately. The resort is fabulous and our children throughly enjoyed the lagoons.

Multiple news organizations, including ABC World News, the Washington Post and USA Today carried an Associated Press article on the deaths of two University of Maine students and a recent alumnus in an airplane crash Nov. 16 at the Knox County Regional Airport in Owls Head. Coverage included interviews UMaine Vice President for Student Affairs Robert Dana, who said the university community is reeling from the immense loss of alumnus William "BJ" Hannigan and students David Cheney and Marcelo Rugini, all members of the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity. Other news media reporting on the incident included the Bangor Daily News, the San Francisco Chronicle, Channel 5 (WABI), Channel 2 and Channel 7 (WVII). A Portland Press Herald article included interviews with family and friends of the men, and a second Press Herald article included comments from the airport manager and a representative from a local air service based at Owls Head. A Fox News report included comments from UMaine President Paul Ferguson, as did the Bangor Daily News, which also published a separate profile on Rugini, a UMaine dean's list student from Brazil studying under a four-year scholarship.

A steady stream of questions from the KCTV5 News investigative team appears to have spurred on a major policy change by the Kansas City, MO, Water Services Department that could finally stop the flow of bills to the one in eight city customers who are not using water.
After 45 years, the agency says it will no longer require residents to pay the cost of digging up their own pipes in order to permanently disconnect from the system.
That change, which could save more than 21,000 customers approximately $3.5 million, comes as welcome news to Kansas City, MO, resident Simmie Crawford. He contacted KCTV5 in early January, confused and upset about the two water service bills he had suddenly received. He said his parents made a request to cancel water service to their home in the Leed's neighborhood back in the 1980s.
"Now I'm getting a water bill, and that's what I don't understand," Crawford said. "The water's been shut off for 33 years."
Crawford said his parents made a request to cancel water service to their eastside home. He said he had no idea that in order to stop all water charges, customers like his parents needed to dig up their pipes to the water main. Since they didn't do that, the inactive account can still accrue monthly service fees.
"The only thing they are doing is taking money out of your pocket," Crawford said.
A city water services spokesperson told KCTV5 late last year, the city decided to dust off inactive accounts and see if they could collect the outstanding fees. The bills went out without warning or explanation, catching people like Crawford by surprise.
Over in the Waldo neighborhood, Betty Pugh was quite surprised to say the least when a bill landed in her mailbox. It's been 15 years since Pugh and her husband had the house next door knocked down to increase the couple's outdoor space.
"We just needed a backyard," Pugh said. "What did we have - about 4 feet of yard in the backyard?"
Since that house was bulldozed, no water has been used at the property. Pugh couldn't imagine why she would be receiving a huge water and sewer service bill for the vacant lot.
"I was kind of shocked," Pugh said. "We had never received a bill. We called, didn't get any help whatsoever. And then my husband talked to someone and they said, 'You're just going to have to pay that.'"
Unable to convince anyone at KCMO Water customer service that their backyard could not flush a toilet or access a tap, Pugh who lives on a fixed income, paid the bills totaling more than $940.
"It doesn't seem to make any sense," KCTV5 investigative reporter, Eric Chaloux stated while looking over the water bills.
"No, it didn't to us either," Pugh replied. "That was the way it was, so we went ahead and paid it."
The person perhaps most taken aback by a water bill that arrived was Prairie Village, KS, resident Sara Passan.
"Wait a minute, this is KCMO. I'm in Prairie Village, KS," Passan said of the bill she received. "I couldn't believe it would be so bogus."
According to the bill, sent out by the KCMO water department, the owners of "building d f", presumably Passan, owe the city money water and sewer services. Passan called KCMO water customer service for an explanation.
"They were nice enough," Passan said, "but they didn't instill that much confidence. They couldn't tell me why it happened."
But as KCTV5 discovered, it's been at least a dozen years since any building occupied the property in question, not in Kansas, but the middle of Midtown Kansas City. During one of the city's largest ever land acquisitions; the property was turned into a parking lot, surrounded by fast food restaurants and a big box store.
"My biggest concern was they couldn't assure me this wouldn't happen again," Passan said. "They had no idea why it happened."
The water department has since assured KCTV5 that the bills to Passan will indeed stop and that Pugh will get a refund of the $940 bill she paid. A spokesperson thanked the television station for letting the agency know the property no longer includes a house.

Poured from a corked and caged bottle dated 2/17/2011 into a champagne flute. Cork was moldy on the outside around the edge.
Appearance: Translucent, golden amber with a large, loose white head that dissipates slowly. A crown persists through the end of the glass, but no lacing to speak of.
Smell: Sour blackberries, funk. I've never been so reminded of a fruit flavor in a beer that doesn't have any fruit in it than with this beer. Lots of Gueuzy funk in this beer, quite vinous and a hint of alcohol comes through in the nose as well.
Taste: The blackberry strikes again. I'm almost entirely sure this is because of that mold on the outside of the cork around the lip of the bottle, but I did clean it off before pouring. I've had blackberry fruited sours that taste less like blackberry than this beer does. Lightly bitter, and far from the most sour beer I've ever tasted. Very mild, not at all mouth puckering. That blackberry mold flavor is really delightful though. If this qualifies as infected because of that, it's delicious. Wouldn't mind having one of these every day, except that I'd go broke fast.
Mouthfeel: Highly carbonated, but soft in the way a fine champagne is. Not prickly at all. Really beautiful.
Overall: While I'm sure that mold affected the flavor and smell of my beer, it wasn't a bad thing. This was delicious in every way. Would love to get more of this somehow, some way.

Thanks to Ron for bringing this one to the tasting. This one was super carbonated - after twisting the cage off, the cork popped out on its own. Surprisingly enough, no gushing over. It pours a cloudy, dull-golden color with a white head that grows big and settles around a quarter-inch or so. No real lacing to speak of, only a little bit of wet legging.
Golden Blend has a nice pungency on the nostrils; sweet apples, lemons, and white grapes, mild funk and musk, lots of acidity and a heavy sour/tart character that is easily accessible just from smelling the beer. Some dry oak in the finish, along with some more funky and corky notes that come out more as the sourness settles a bit. I'm really digging the way this one smells - plenty of sweet and tart, juicy fruits with a perfect amount of funky yeast.
This one is super crisp and light on the palate. The heavy carbonation seemingly allows the beer to evaporate seconds after hitting your tongue. Super tart fruit up front, namely apples, white grapes, and some lemon zest. Very tart and puckering right out of the gate - even more so than the aroma would have you believe. Once the initial tart spike subsides, it's time for the funk.
Big, heavy yeast flavors join; funk, cork, wet wood. The funk was a little stronger in the aroma than on the palate, but it's still a large contributor. Near the finish, I'm picking up some light cherry tartness as well. There's a slight bitterness near the very end, perfectly dulling the tartness and creating a nice "fade-out". Aftertaste is full of oak and funk mixed with the lasting fruit sweetness.
Wow, what a great tasting gueuze. Great balance of tart, sour, and funk. Easy to drink and so ghost-like on the palate that it's scary. Many thanks again to Ron for sharing this with us.
EDIT: Enjoyed this again a few weeks later thanks to Kevin. Still just as delicious as the first one. This is definitely the type of gueuze I would seek out because at this point in time, it's still not too hard to reel in, but it tastes amazing.
EDIT #2: Have enjoyed this many more times - the flavors and aromas are usually on point and delicious, however some bottles are overly carbonation and sometimes the wispy mouth feel is a bit too sharp and distracts from the flavors. Other than that, a great beer that ever gueuze lover needs.

Bottle shared at bu11zeye's 10,000th rating tasting.
The beer pours a yellow color with a large white head. The aroma is full of very tart lemons, with some nice wheat and yeast notes, as well as quite a bit of barnyard funk. The flavor is also quite funky, with some nice lemon and wheat notes. There is a medium amount of tartness and some nice yeast notes. Thin mouthfeel and medium carbonation. A very interesting, funky and tart beer that I am glad I got to try.

375ml cork and caged bottle a little above fridge temp poured into a snifter. Bottled 2011/02/17 (roughly 2 1/2 years of age)
The cork showed that it had leaked a bit before removing. Pours out with a ton of carbonation, took a few minutes to fully pour and your left with a huge billowy white cap atop a cloudy golden orange body. Tons of carbonation bubbles streaming up. After awhile your left with a super creamy retentive white head. I've never seen a lambic hold such a nice head.
Lots of tart funk. Rotted wood or rotted cork comes to mind. Old socks and horse blanket funk, more as it warms, Bright lemon citrus.
Very tart and quite sour,lemons, some lemongrass, classic 3f house flavor, like a zesty lemon, musty, hay, quite complex. Some acidity lingers. Almost minty.
Has this really nice mouthfeel that you really only get in select guezes, hard to describe. But it flows over the palate so nicely, the perfect feeling carbonation despite what the pour led me to believe. Leaves a lingering sourness on the palate similar to sucking on a lemon.
Pricey and worth it, but maybe not worth more than one or two bottles. Though its been awhile since I've had the regular oude gueze, its very similar with a bit more complexity.

Acquired via trade
Thanks, Thorpe429!
Careful all, this cork is ready to explode out of the bottle once the cage has been undone.
Cloudy orange and light amber with a huge bone-white, moonscape head that makes pouring this beer somewhat of a challenge. Eventually, when the head has settled down, a nice off-white rin sits atop the beer all the way down, eventually leaving irregular lines of lace down the glass. A gorgeous beer, and perfectly appropriate.
A very expressive, funk-forward aroma: this has a good amount of old/wet towel notes, with big notes of barnyard and manure, earthy cheese, mushrooms, along with some bright lemon citrus, and an acidic sour character. On paper, that sounds awful (or not), but it smells amazing.
The flavor is simply stupendous, with the incredibly funk/barnyard/earth/cheese notes bumping up aggressively against layers of lemon flesh and peel, sour character, brick, and basement. Complete; flawless.
The mouthfeel shines. It's as good of a mouthfeel as any gueuze I've had the pleasure of drinking. Light in body, with high carbonation, though disappearing, but flavorful throughout.
This ranks with the Armand'4 beers has some of my favorites ever crafted.

What an amazing Gueuze by Drie Fonteinen, Armand really out did himself with this blend. An amazing crisp taste to it from the second the cork pops off till the last drop in your glass. Appearance is a deep golden yellow that captivates the viewer with bewilderment as it has the appearance of an elixir. The smell wakes up the nose with citrus notes with lemon and beyond. The taste bring additional citrus notes along with tart and sour notes of a gueuze all perfectly working together to create one hell of a brew. After the bottle was consumed, I thought back on what beer could top this in my list, and nothing could hold up to this. Seek this brew out as it is one of the best out there. Next time I would like to try it side by side with 3F normal Oude Gueuze.

Appearance- Golden and hazy, with a 2 finger bright white head. Nice lacing on the glass.
Smell- Lactic sourness is behind lots of lemon, grass, mustiness and barnyard funk qualities. Good stuff.
Taste- Way more sour punch than I was expecting. Very dry finish as well, leaves you wanting another sip right away. Big lemony tartness and a bit of oak are in there as well.
Mouthfeel- lively carbonation and light body, nice and refreshing
Overall- An excellent beer, but I'm not sure if it's worth the price tag. I can't fault it for anything really, but I just don't think it is worth breaking the bank over. There are plenty of other great guezes out there that are very good and cost much less than this one. That said, if you have the means to stock up on this stuff, I'd go ahead and do that. I'm looking forward to trying my second bottle a few years down the road.

Poured from bottle into Jester King Farmhouse glass. Pours a hazy orange color- small bubbles retain in the head. Looks like most gueuze so far. Small- vinegar funk, funky/hard cheese, tart. Taste- up front a slight vinegar tartness, followed by a sweet malt with tight carbonation, finished by a green apple sour finish. This is an exquisite gueuze. So smooth, well done.

375ml caged and corked bottle. Another weird opener for this brewery - after the final twist was applied to the cage's wire, the cork just plum popped off itself, this time deftly into my waiting hand, as opposed to ricocheting off the ceiling.
This beer pours a hazy, medium golden amber hue, with three fingers of very loosely bubbly, fizzy, foamy dirty white head, which leaves a low sudsy wall of cushion lace around the glass as it evenly sinks away.
It smells rather pungently of sour lemon, over-aged white wine, under-ripe green apples, a growing musty funk, a weak bready maltiness, and a soft kiss of astringent, grainy wood. The taste is sharply acidic apple, white grape, and lemon, with an actually perceptible, combined fruity sweetness, some bomb shelter pale grain, with a certainly laid-back funk, what with it being only a tad musty and cheesy. A lingering oaky woodiness seems incapable of letting go.
The carbonation is light, and fairly frothy, the body medium-light in weight, the airy bubbles providing a bit too much distraction for straight-ahead smoothness to take hold, which is strange, given the initial edgy acidic notes. It finishes off-dry, incredibly, the tartness abating for the most part, the fruit on the rise, in a complex interplay with the grain, tame funk, and neutered wood.
Wow, what a show - almost unpalatable acetic acid to start off, and then a slow, easy conversion to a balanced fruity, zingy oak-touched pale ale, Belgian-style, that is. Very drinkable, robust, and enjoyable well beyond expectations. However, since those expectations came from the 'regular' Oude Gueuze , and the price comparison between them is double, at least, that puts me in a quandary as to recommendations - try this, I guess, at least once, for an occasion. Mine appears to be a Monday night.

Spencer Hawes is an NBA center that played roughly 17 good games in his four-year career. Philadelphia 76ers fans are so fed up with him that they go apoplectic whenever he checks into the game. After a predictably forgettable sequence that included a missed layup and horrible defense on Joakim Noah, coach Doug Collins had seen enough. He needed to get Hawes out of the game, and he needed to do it now.
Basically, Collins wanted Hawes out so badly that he didn't initially think to actually replace him with anybody.

FLORA – It's been a busy summer at Carroll Consolidated School Corp. Students are back in session, and classroom renovations are nearing completion at Carroll Junior-Senior High School.
Although the renovation isn't done, students occupied the classrooms Wednesday when a new school year began, said Chris Lagoni, superintendent at Carroll Consolidated School Corp.
Two new high school science classrooms were added and four existing rooms were renovated to make two other large science classrooms. The physics lab was also updated and storage was added, Lagoni said.
Lafayette contractor J.R. Kelly Company, who received the bid for the science classroom renovations, is wrapping up work and have only exterior items to complete. Painting and cleaning of the site will be completed soon and some exterior doorways still need to be installed, said Tim Brigham, project manager.
"We're in the final stages," Brigham said. "Any remaining work will be completed on weekends or after hours so it doesn't interrupt studies."
There is a new science addition on the junior high side and another on the high school side of the building, Brigham said.
The lab has technology allowing teachers to show digital slideshows at the front of the classrooms. Multiple cameras, projection screens, sound controls and microphones have been added. Teachers will have the ability to control, send images and display them using iPads, Lagoni said.
Students will also have the room to complete and display experiments, Lagoni said.
The room will have a traditional lecture area on one side of the classroom and a lab on the other side. If another class needs the room, they will be able to use it, Lagoni said. Because of the space, students will be able to complete a project and move items around.
The focus of the new classrooms is on students being able to do presentations, Lagoni said.

Sheriff Mike Dewey says being the Sheriff is his life and he couldn't imagine doing anything else. He became Sheriff in 2009. His opponent Matt Elsberry currently owns an Information Technology company and has worked as an investigator for both Brooks and Lowndes County Sheriff's Offices.
"I've dedicated my life to Brooks County and law enforcement and I want to see the Sheriff's Department do better and be a department in Brooks County that the people can be proud of," said current Sheriff, Mike Dewey.
Dewey says in the four years he's been Sheriff, the department has arrested more than 3,500 suspected criminals. If he's not re-elected he says he'll go back to farming.

- Sock Designing Master Class by Ann Budd Review by NULL NULL
An EXCELLENT publication I will use forever. Ann is a superb teacher and speaker and I found the DVD to be an excellent learning tool; however, it could use a little help. First, the glint off Ann's glasses was very distracting. Second, showing the techniques from underneath the work in progress was very confusing, and lastly every now and then the technique being demonstrated would move out of the picture frame. I would recommend this book in a heartbeat.

- Sock Knitting Master Class Review by Deborah Silverman
I adore this book! The clearly written and descriptive text is unlike any other book I have seen about sock knitting. I even taught myself the Old Norwegian Cast-On from this book and I am strictly a visual learner! The illustrations are beautiful and there are instructions for heels and toes that I have not seen before. This book is going to be my new Sock Bible!! I think I had better buy a second copy right now as this first copy is going to quickly be worn out... Thank you, Ann Budd!! P. S. My sister in law is buying one this weekend!

- 100++++ Stars Ann Budd ROCKS! Review by Mickey Van Pelt
The DVD alone is amazing, I wish I would have had this when I first started knitting years ago, Ann Budd demonstrates the techniques like she is in my living room with me, I caught myself asking a question to my tv screen, and she actually demonstrated that in the next moment!! The book is beautifully done, the title says it all, Master Class in the techniques you will learn (from beginner up not just the hard stuff and masterpieces in the sock designs from the top Master designers today.

- Sock Knitting Master Class Review by Sue Reall
I pre-ordered this book and it came yesterday. If you are a sock knitter, as I am, you will love this book. It comes with a DVD which I have watched, and am going to watch again. It contains so much informaiton and Ann Budd shows you how to do techniques, explains the needles you can use, demonstrates various cast on, one of which I had not seen. The patterns are all different and use lots of techniques. I am looking forward to trying out most of the patterns and will try to follow her blog on this.

Those who have given the gift of life-- in some cases, after their death-- were honored today at a special ceremony.
Organ recipients were on hand for the Lights of Life Ceremony, which celebrated stories of survival, like that of Leticia's.
Five years ago, Leticia received the gift of a lifetime: a kidney transplant.
She was able to quit dialysis treatments and live the life she always wanted, seeing her children grow up and complete accomplishments.
But for some, like heart transplant recipient, Kristen Lester, the happy occasion of receiving a vital organ was bittersweet.
Lester says, "I think you go through every emotion because your heart breaks because someone else has lost their life. But, on the other hand, you're looking at, oh, I get to go on. I was raising two sons, and I get to be there for them. But, I make sure that my family honors the ones behind me that gave."
Eight organ recipients and their families, as well as families of organ donors, participated in today's ceremony.

The Ladies of Charity, established by St. Vincent de Paul, providing services to the sick and the poor, are an essential part of the history of the Vincentians in the United States.
To preserve the history of the Ladies of Charity, the National Board of the Ladies of Charity of the United States of America transferred their operational files to DePaul in June of 2002. Approximately 20 feet of materials containing publications, conference reports, correspondence of presidents, as well as minutes, memorabilia, photographs and histories are currently housed at DePaul. While most of the materials date from the formation of the ALCUS (Association of the Ladies of Charity of the United States) in 1960, there are some handwritten minutes dating to the 1930s.

PZ uses boltbeam most of the time.
I'd say something lik this if you ran a choice set:
Dark Pulse
If you ran an agility set, just forego D.Pulse for agility. If PZ had the defenses of P2, this set would be very appealing.
PZ can also run a surprise mix set w/Return that can 2HKO Blissey. A very nasty surprise indeed.
Nasty Plot/SubSalac/Tric/Specs are other choices (the first two going together)
SubSalac means substituting untill your HP is low enough to activate Salac Berry (upping speed) (nasty ploting when you get the chance) then fire away with +1 speed and hopefully +2 s.atk if you got a plot in. Priority screws this set and your HP must be devisable by 4 for it to work.
Nasty Plot
Tri Attack
Trick and specs are essentially the same thing too since PZ with specs is generally a bad idea due to his sub-par speed, but with trick you can come in on a switch and ruin his would-be counter Blissey by tricking a choice item on to her. Any Blissey (barring the odd specs Bliss) HATES getting choiced.

It's another battle in the highly charged debate over abortion. This time, Virginia's governor has submitted an amendment to a bill before the Virginia General Assembly.
It would not allow health insurance providers to pay for abortion coverage under the new health insurance exchanges being required under President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act.
Planned Parenthood of Metropolitan Washington isn't too happy with that. President Laura Meyers says it's "deeply disappointing that the governor of Virginia would seek to deny health care and strip away coverage that already exists." She says it would adversely affect small businesses and low-income women.
Anti-abortion rights advocates are pleased with the action. Spokeswoman Mallory Quigley of Susan B. Anthony List says his action is consistent with what 20 other states have already moved to do.
The amendment allows exceptions in cases of rape, incest or danger to a woman's life.
The Virginia House and Senate are set to reconvene next Wednesday.
Some staffers say the language of the amendment needs clarification.

Hello Respected Developers,
I am using QLineEdit to enter data for my application and used IAPClient to enable In-App-Purchase.
I have 7 QLineEdit fields to accept user input (i.e. QLE_1, QLE_2, QLE_3, QLE_4, QLE_5, QLE_6, QLE_7).
If I am not creating a new object of IAPClient, then the application opens a text editor with virtual-keyboard for each QLineEdit which overlaps the whole screen and user will be able to see what data he/she is entering.Working fine as user is able to see what text/data is entered
But when I created a new object of IAPClient, then the QLineEdit calls only the Virtual-keyboard and the text editor is not visible. Again the keyboard overlaps on lower part of the screen with some QLineEdit (3 to 4 fields depending on different devices). For example, QLE_4, QLE_5, QLE_6, QLE_7 are hidden under the virtual keyboard and I am trying to enter data for QLE_6. In this case I am not able to see anything while entering.
My target:
I need to move the UI up and down with respect the keyboard
i.e. if the keyboard will come then, I will have to slide the UI upward.
And if the keyboard goes, then I have to slide down the UI to original position.
What I have tried:
I am receiving "textChanged" signal sent by QLineEdit and setting the UI's geometrythis slides the UI upward in the screen.Code:UI->setGeometry(originalPosition-30);
I tried to receive "returnPressed" signal to set back the UI's geometrybut QLineEdit is not emitting "returnPressed" signalCode:UI->setGeometry(originalPosition);
Is there any other way to achieve my target?
Thanks in advance for any help

Matt Lewis Discusses "Deathly Hallows: Part 2"Lewis
In a new interview with Empire Magazine, Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom) shares his thoughts on his role and the evolution of his character in "Deathly Hallows: Part 2":
Neville started off rather timid and nervous, but he ends up very different, wouldn't you say?
Absolutely. It was sort of method acting really. If you look at some of those early films when I'm looking terrified in front of Alan Rickman or whatever, it's probably because I am! But when it got to the last film, Deathly Hallows, I could just have a chat with Alan, so it sort of evolved the same way as the character, I suppose.
We didn't really see Neville much in Part 1. But Part 2 is, judging by the books, his finest hour.
I felt quite lucky to have been in Part One, to be honest, because the character's not actually in the book until the end. But, you know, David said he wanted to stick him in just to remind people what was going on back at school. And it was just nice to have been in, because it means I was in all eight films even if it was only for one line!
Lewis also discusses the way the movie departs from the book. Warning, there are some potential movie spoilers:
What sort of thing has been added?
Just stuff where you see what the students are getting up to while they're in this war. The book's focused very heavily on Harry Potter. But the film keeps coming back to the students and the teachers and what's going on. And the whole war is very real. It is really life and death. I won't give too much away, but the whole thing for me was just so much fun because there was so much in. There was a bit of light humour at the beginning; a bit of, sort of, French Resistance stuff. But then the war kicks off and there's action to do and there's a lot of drama as well because there are people dying around us, and Neville's in charge of these people who are dying. I just got to do so much different stuff. It was great.
You've said before in interviews that Neville's seen carrying a dead body.
Yeah, that's right. I mean, because Neville is the leader he's determined to act like one so he's always on the frontlines. I think he feels responsible for every student that dies because he knows that he's the one putting them out there. But it was a challenge. I really hope they keep it in because it really shows Neville at his best. There's all this fun stuff where Neville's very adrenalised and on autopilot. But that bit brings him back down to Earth for a minute. And I really hope they keep it in.
You can read the rest of the interview here. "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" will be released in the US and UK July 15th.

Actually, the Texas Rangers' season figures to hinge upon two questions.
We'll dispense with one quickly, and spend a bit more time on the other ...
Like most clubs, the Rangers have a great deal of play in their pitching rotation. Colby Lewis and C.J. Wilson pitched better last season than they'd ever pitched before (in the majors, anyway). Were they for real? Considering they're easily the club's two best starters, a significant dropoff from that pair would probably doom the Rangers to second place. And what about the others? Matt Harrison and Derek Holland are relatively untested, and Tommy Hunter's opening this season on the disabled list (which gives him a three-season streak).
Essentially this same rotation was plenty good enough last season; Cliff Lee won only four games during his stint with the club. So there's no reason to think they can't do it again this season. But there is at least some room for mild skepticism, given the lack of a strong collective track record.
They'll probably do well enough, though. There's not much room for greatness, but plenty for the requisite goodness.
The Rangers' corner outfielders are another story entirely. Between left fielder Josh Hamilton and right fielder Nelson Cruz, Texas might have two of the five or six best hitters in the American League.
The trick is keeping them in the lineup.
In 2009, Cruz missed time with various injuries, most notably a sprained ankle that cost him 16 games. In 2010, he spent three separate stints on the Disabled List, each time with a pesky left-thigh injury. Can you fix a left thigh between October and spring training? We'll find out this summer. But while Cruz might never hit again like he hit in '10, it'll be interesting to see what he might do in 150 games rather than the 108 he managed last year.
Much the same might be said about Josh Hamilton. Granted, he did win (and probably deserve) the MVP Award last year. But he played in only 133 games ... and in only 89 the year before that. Hamilton's injury log over the last four seasons looks like some mad doctor's fevered dream ...
respiratory, flu
thigh soreness
viral illness
dental injury
groin soreness
neurological injury
knee inflammation
trunk fracture
Trunk fracture? Yeah, trunk fracture. He busted his ribs running into a fence.
Hamilton's supposedly a full-time left fielder now, with the idea that he won't be running into fences as often as he did whilst playing center field. We'll see. Players who have often been injured tend to keep getting injured.
Since reaching the majors in 2007, Hamilton has averaged 117 games per season. You know about Nelson Cruz. The latter is 30 years old; the former turns 30 in May. If these two 30-year-olds can combine for at least 280 games, the Rangers may well score enough runs to balance whatever deficiencies might arise among the pitchers.
But if this is one of those years when they can't stay in the lineup -- like Cruz's 2010 or Hamilton's 2009 -- the Rangers may well lose too many 5-4 and 4-3 decisions.

Civil Rights
Another famed NY retailer faces 'shop and frisk' allegations in suit by black actor
By Martha Neil
Oct 28, 2013, 11:50 am CDT
It isn't just after shopping at Barneys New York that black customers claim to have been detained by city police due to legally making expensive purchases.
Treme actor Robert Brown, who is a 2008 graduate of Amherst College, says in a lawsuit against Macy's that he was handcuffed and "paraded" through the store on June 8 after buying a $1,350 Movado wristwatch for his mother, according to ABC News, which characterizes the suit as a "shop and frisk" case.
A federal judge held in August that city police had violated the constitutional rights of individuals both by stopping and frisking them without adequate legal basis and by racial profiing that disproportionately targeted minorities for such investigation. Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg angrily denied that the city had done anything wrong and vowed to appeal, the New York Times (reg. req.) reported.
Attorney John Elefterakis is representing Brown in a suit seeking unspecified damages over the Macy's incident. The lawyer describes the case as "about justice, not money."
Brown had been about to buy a $350 pair of Prada sunglasses as well, when he was swarmed by plainclothes officers, he told the New York Daily News during a Friday interview at his lawyer's office. He said he initially thought he was being robbed and demanded to see the officers' ID, at which point he was handcuffed. "Why was I put in cuffs? Why was I even approached?" he said. "It was a slap in the face."
Brown says he was detained for nearly an hour after buying the watch as police accused him of fraud, even though a Macy's employee went through his identification, at his request, to prove to the officers that the credit card he had used was his. He says police gave different explanations for why he had been stopped, with one telling him at one point that a suspicious Macy's employee called them.
Macy's said in a written statement Sunday that its employees were not involved in the incident, but the store provided a small room to police officers when they requested it, ABC News reports.
"Our company will continue to investigate all aspects of our alleged involvement in this incident, and to cooperate fully with the courts and the New York City Police Department, with which we have a close and important working relationship," the statement continues. "If Macy's policies are found to have been violated, we will take swift and decisive action."
In 2005, the store paid $600,000 to settle a complaint by then-state Attorney General Eliot Spitzer that its New York department stores had racially profiling customers when determining which to handcuff and detain as shoplifting suspects, the Daily News notes. Macy's also agreed to train employees and put an internal security monitor in place.
Last week, Barneys hit the headlines as two black shoppers said they had been detained by police–one had allegedly been jailed for two hours–after leaving the store. Police accused them of using fake debit cards, they said, but in fact they had made pricey purchases with legitimate debit cards.
The store said its employees were not involved in at least one of the claimed incidents and retained a civil rights expert to review its policies and practices.

New Orleans -- A Franklinton man was arrested for stealing electronics from a Covington woman. The incident occurred Monday at 2:00 p.m. in the 600 block of West 24th Ave in Covington.
According to police, the woman was carrying three bags and two children from her home to her vehicle in her driveway. She placed the bags on the ground while strapping her children in the vehicle. The woman drove off forgetting the bags on the ground. Once she realized her mistake, she turned around and returned to her home to retrieve her bags. When she arrived at her home, the bags were missing. An Ipad, Iphone and camera were inside the bags that were taken. She contacted police, once she realized the bags were gone.
Detectives were able to track the missing electronics using tracker applications installed on the Iphone and Ipad. Police tracked the items to Poole Avenue in Covington, where they were located in a pickup truck. Officers found the owner of the truck, who was identified as 55-year-old Robert Warren. Warren confessed to taking the woman's property and was arrested and booked in the St. Tammany Parish Jail. The electronics were returned to the woman.
A woman who was texting while driving was impaled by guardrail pole.

Alex Barbero came to worldwide attention when he moved from Europe to the US in 2008. As a rookie on the Dew Tour, he came tenth and 11th respectively in the Cleveland and Orlando stages of the tour, and automatically qualified to take part in the competition the following year. He had already established himself as one of the undisputed leaders of the European scene. He won the Italian Championships in 2003, and, over the next three years, finished first at the Suzuki BMX Masters in Cologne, second in the Nokia FISE in Montpellier, and first in the King of Paca in Marseilles. His success continued in 2007, when he was chosen as Italian Freestyler of the Year, as well as winning 'Best Trick' at Hit The Target. Growing up in De Ceva, a small village near Turin in northern Italy, Alex wanted a dirt bike to ride, but his father bought him his first BMX instead. At the age of three he was already whizzing around without the stabilizers. Initially flitting between dirt and street BMX, Alex soon decided that park tricks were what he was really into and he first made an impression in 2000 when he secured a third place at the Italian Championships. He says that his special talent is 'tailwhips and tricks', with his favourite individual trick being the Double Whip. As a youngster he was influenced greatly by the Australian style of Ryan Guettler, Corey Bohan and Colin McKay, while also admiring the legendary American rider Dave Mirra.

Nanofabrication Technology: A view of the Future
"In a lecture that dips into both the anatomy and history of the semiconductor, Grant Willson offers some provocative thoughts on whether industry can continue improving on this most useful of inventions. He describes how steady advances in miniaturization enabled the astonishing progress of microchips over the past 40 years. Today, says Willson, you can buy a transistor for less than the cost of a single written character in your local newspaper. When he began at IBM in the 1970s, the silicon wafers produced were only 1.5 inches in diameter; now they're bigger than pizzas. Willson delves into the technological changes that both enabled printing on circuits to grow smaller, and the final product to grow larger."
