A look back at Newt Gingrich in his own words from the campaign trail.
For months now, his name has gone hand-in-hand with that of Newt Gingrich.
Newt Gingrich will officially end his bid for the Republican presidential nomination next week, his spokesman said Wednesday, and will back Mitt Romney in his bid to defeat President Barack Obama in November.
Newt Gingrich tells North Carolina supporters he is not backing out but is rethinking how his campaign can remain helpful.
If I had my way, Newt Gingrich would run in every presidential primary there ever was. This year, his ego made him shine in a Republican field populated by nonpersonalities. He's certainly a lot more fun than the presumptive nominee. Having Mitt Romney at your cocktail party is the social equivalent of two people not turning up.
Newt Gingrich said Sunday that he'll do everything he can to support Mitt Romney as the Republican Party's presidential nominee when that time comes. But that time hasn't come yet.
Newt Gingrich is determined to stay in the race for the Republican nomination, his communications director said Wednesday, even though he's laid off one-third of his staff and faces increasing calls to cede the contest to front-runner Mitt Romney.
GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich says he is "staying in the race." CNN's Piers Morgan has more.
After Romney's win in Illinois, a political panel weighs in on whether they think Newt Gingrich will leave the race.
If Newt Gingrich can't win Alabama and Mississippi, where can he win? The former House speaker fell short in the heart of Dixie on Tuesday, and it's not clear where he goes from here.
Newt Gingrich congratulated Rick Santorum on winning the Alabama and Mississippi primaries.
Aside from winning his home state of Georgia and the bordering state of South Carolina, Newt Gingrich has had a lackluster performance in the Republican race. It is about time for Gingrich to step out of the race and endorse Rick Santorum.
Newt Gingrich compares his "grit" experience to Mitt Romney's while speaking to Southerners at an event in Alabama.

What does it say when a politician is willing to get up early to do four of the five national Sunday talk shows?
Since 1988, when Michael Dukakis beat his main Democratic rivals in a slew of March primary states, "Super Tuesday" has usually played a pivotal role in determining presidential nominees in both parties.
Gas prices are on the rise, and so like clockwork, politicians are now selling the promise of lower prices at the pump.

Presidential candidates Mitt Romney and Ron Paul challenge Newt Gingrich's spending projects.
Lost in the laughter over the past two weeks has been GOP presidential candidate and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich's core point about America's future in space.

CNN's Don Lemon speaks with Herman Cain about why he is endorsing Newt Gingrich as the GOP candidate for president.
Newt Gingrich likes to fancy himself a counterestablishment rebel. He has attempted to tap into the anger of tea party Republicans by reminding voters about his glory days as a maverick conservative in the House of Representatives, which culminated in the Republican takeover of Congress in 1994.
Newt Gingrich has absorbed a fair degree of ridicule for his campaign proposal to build an American colony on the moon. Before focusing the laughter solely on Gingrich, however, let's recall that it is the declared policy of the U.S. government to return a human being to the moon by 2020, in preparation for sending a human astronaut to Mars. If Gingrich is wrong (and he is), he's not wrong alone.

What do you mean by that?"

The 2010 Supreme Court ruling that allows unlimited contributions by corporations and unions has already affected the 2012 presidential campaign. But it could play a larger part in the balance of power in Congress this fall.
In the first of this two-part edition of Explain it to me, Tom Foreman explains how presidential hopefuls raise money.
Newt Gingrich is a political opportunist. His job is to pack as much powerfully charged meaning into every sentence as he can, which makes him a working poet. So he knows full well that calling someone a "food stamp president" brings up the working person's fear, looming reality, and in some cases the actual experience, of unemployment -- while making a shout-out to racism and affixing a stigma to poverty. All the while hiding behind the symbol of a flag.
Perhaps you remember the Oscar-nominated movie "12 Angry Men." It's the story of an all-male, all-white jury meeting for a slam-dunk guilty-of-murder-one verdict against a Spanish teenager. Except for one lone juror, known only as No. 8. He quietly, persistently presents his arguments, asks questions and refuses to be diverted by emotional outbursts or personal attacks until he persuades the other jurors to examine the case logically and objectively.
At a forum this week focused on recruiting more black Republicans, the message was clear: "We have a sales and marketing problem."

During Thursday's Republican debate, Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney spent time recounting the ethics investigation into former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich.
The prospect of Newt Gingrich becoming the GOP nominee is making a few top Republicans nervous, as Dana Bash reports.

Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum finished third in the first Southern state primary, a disappointing showing for the candidate who just days ago was declared the winner of the first 2012 GOP presidential contest in Iowa.
It was the perfect storm. Newt Gingrich seized on one of the wildest weeks ever in primary politics to win Saturday's South Carolina Republican presidential primary, taking 40% of the vote in a contest that showed Republicans are energized and focused on beating President Obama.

Newt Gingrich blasts CNN's John King for asking him about comments his ex-wife made about their marriage.
When someone asks when the Republican Party abandoned its longstanding position as the party of family values, we will all be able to say it was shortly after 8 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on January 19, 2012, in Charleston, South Carolina.
After two strong debate performances, momentum appeared to shift in Newt Gingrich's favor Friday as a key adviser predicted an almost-certain victory in Saturday's South Carolina primary and longtime front-runner Mitt Romney went on the defensive.
Presidential candidate Rep. Ron Paul argues against what he calls an "entitlement system."
The South Carolina Republican presidential primary is often a free-for-all, but this year's contest probably sets a new standard for volatility. Not surprisingly, Palmetto State GOP insiders see a close finish in the primary Saturday between former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, according to a CNN survey.
John King says that it was his decision to ask Gingrich about his ex-wife's allegation; David Gergen weighs in on the issue

Police: 'New criminal offence of trading in cash for metal'
Paul Crowther, deputy chief constable of British Transport Police said: "The new laws that come into place today change a number of issues in respect of scrap metal. First of all it increases the sentences that are available under the existing legislation.
"It provides powers to the police to end unlicensed scrap metal dealers for the first time and introduces a new criminal offence of trading in cash for metal, which is a very significant measure in tackling metal theft at the point where it's sold into scrap metal yards."

Gout is characterized by sudden, severe attacks of pain, redness and tenderness in joints, often the joint at the base of the big toe.
Gout — a complex form of arthritis — can affect anyone. Men are more likely to get gout, but women become increasingly susceptible to gout after menopause.
An acute attack of gout can wake you up in the middle of the night with the sensation that your big toe is on fire. The affected joint is hot, swollen and so tender that even the weight of the sheet on it may seem intolerable.
Fortunately, gout is treatable, and there are ways to reduce the risk that gout will recur.
The signs and symptoms of gout are almost always acute, occurring suddenly — often at night — and without warning. They include:
When to see a doctor
If you experience sudden, intense pain in a joint, call your doctor. Gout that goes untreated can lead to worsening pain and joint damage.
Seek medical care immediately if you have a fever and a joint is hot and inflamed, which can be a sign of infection.
Gout occurs when urate crystals accumulate in your joint, causing the inflammation and intense pain of a gout attack. Urate crystals can form when you have high levels of uric acid in your blood. Your body produces uric acid when it breaks down purines — substances that are found naturally in your body, as well as in certain foods, such as organ meats, anchovies, herring, asparagus and mushrooms.
Normally, uric acid dissolves in your blood and passes through your kidneys into your urine. But sometimes your body either produces too much uric acid or your kidneys excrete too little uric acid. When this happens, uric acid can build up, forming sharp, needle-like urate crystals in a joint or surrounding tissue that cause pain, inflammation and swelling.
You're more likely to develop gout if you have high levels of uric acid in your body. Factors that increase the uric acid level in your body include:
People with gout can develop more-severe conditions, such as:
Make an appointment with your doctor if you have symptoms that are common to gout. After an initial examination, your doctor may refer you to a specialist in the diagnosis and treatment of arthritis and other inflammatory joint conditions (rheumatologist).
Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment, and what to expect from your doctor.
What you can do
Questions to ask the doctor at the initial appointment include:
Questions to ask if you are referred to a rheumatologist include:
If any additional questions occur to you during your medical appointments, don't hesitate to ask.
What to expect from your doctor
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may reserve time to go over any points you want to talk about in-depth. Your doctor may ask:
Tests to help diagnose gout may include:
Treatment for gout usually involves medications. What medications you and your doctor choose will be based on your current health and your own preferences. Gout medications can be used to treat acute attacks and prevent future attacks as well as reduce your risk of complications from gout, such as the development of tophi from urate crystal deposits.
Medications to treat gout attacks
Drugs used to treat acute attacks and prevent future attacks include:
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). NSAIDs may control inflammation and pain in people with gout. Your doctor may prescribe a higher dose to stop an acute attack, followed by a lower daily dose to prevent future attacks.
NSAIDs include over-the-counter options such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others) and naproxen (Aleve, others), as well as more-powerful prescription NSAIDs such as indomethacin (Indocin). NSAIDs carry risks of stomach pain, bleeding and ulcers.
Colchicine. If you're unable to take NSAIDs, your doctor may recommend colchicine (Colcrys), a type of pain reliever that effectively reduces gout pain — especially when started soon after symptoms appear. The drug's effectiveness is offset in most cases, however, by intolerable side effects, such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
After an acute gout attack resolves, your doctor may prescribe a low daily dose of colchicine to prevent future attacks.
Corticosteroids. Corticosteroid medications, such as the drug prednisone, may control gout inflammation and pain. Corticosteroids may be administered in pill form, or they can be injected into your joint. Your doctor might inject a corticosteroid medication during the same visit as a joint fluid test — where he or she withdraws (aspirates) fluid from your joint with a needle. Corticosteroids are generally reserved for people who can't take either NSAIDs or colchicine.
Side effects of corticosteroids may include thinning bones, poor wound healing and a decreased ability to fight infection. To reduce the risk of these serious side effects, your doctor will try to find the lowest dose that controls your symptoms and prescribe steroids for the shortest possible time.
Medications to prevent gout complications
If you experience several gout attacks each year or if your gout attacks are less frequent but particularly painful, your doctor may recommend medication to reduce your risk of gout-related complications.
Options include:
Medications that block uric acid production. Drugs called xanthine oxidase inhibitors, including allopurinol (Aloprim, Lopurin, Zyloprim) and febuxostat (Uloric), limit the amount of uric acid your body makes. This may lower your blood's uric acid level and reduce your risk of gout. Side effects of allopurinol include a rash and low blood counts. Febuxostat side effects include rash, nausea and reduced liver function.
Xanthine oxidase inhibitors may trigger a new, acute attack if taken before a recent attack has totally resolved. Taking a short course of low-dose colchicine before starting a xanthine oxidase inhibitor has been found to significantly reduce this risk.
Medications are the most proven, effective way to treat gout symptoms. However, making certain changes to your diet also may help.
The American Dietetic Association recommends following these guidelines during a gout attack:
If gout treatments aren't working as well as you'd hoped, you may be interested in trying an alternative approach. Before trying such a treatment on your own, talk with your doctor — to weigh the benefits and risks and learn whether the treatment might interfere with your gout medication. Because there isn't a lot of research on alternative therapies for gout, however, in some cases the risks aren't known.
Certain foods have been studied for their potential to lower uric acid levels, including:
Other complementary and alternative medicine treatments may help you cope until your gout pain subsides or your medications take effect. For instance, relaxation techniques, such as deep-breathing exercises and meditation, may help take your mind off your pain.
During symptom-free periods, these dietary guidelines may help protect against future gout attacks:

Butch Jones has resigned as head coach at the University of Cincinnati to take the job at the University of Tennessee.
Jones will not coach the Bearcats in the Belk Bowl against Duke on Dec. 27.
Steve Stripling, a 30-year coaching veteran who joined the UC staff in 2010 was named interim head coach. The 2012 Belk Bowl will mark the 23rd bowl game Stripling has played or coached in throughout his career. He led Central Michigan to a 44-41 double-overtime win over Troy in the 2010 GMAC Bowl. Stripling was the Bearcats Assistant Head Coach and defensive line coach.
"UC is bigger than Butch Jones," said UC Director of Athletics Whit Babcock during a press conference Friday morning.
Babcock said there is a slight chance a new coach will be hired before the Belk Bowl.
Players had mixed emotions to Jones' news. Senior wide receiver Kenbrell Thompkins said he felt good and bad.
"I felt good for him because he's a great guy and a great coach," said Thompkins. "I felt bad for the young guys. Coach Jones recruited them to play for him and now he's going to another school."
Junior wide receiver Anthony McClung said the meeting was emotional.
"He basically expressed himself to us. We felt bad for him, we love him, but he has to do what's best for him and his family and we have to move forward," said McClung.
University of Cincinnati President Dr. Santa Ono tweeted Friday morning, "#BearcatNation we are bigger than any one person and I will make sure we continue to compete at the highest level. I have your back. UC is a great university with a proud history in sports. I promise you that statement will ring true well into the future."
Babcock said Jones informed him at 5:15 Friday morning that he had accepted the job at UT.
"Now is the time for our fans to stick with us," said Babcock.
Jones pulled his name from consideration for the Colorado job on Thursday morning. Not long after that, Babcock said he received an offer from Tennessee. Babcock gave him 24 hours to make a decision.
Babcock said the university had been in talks for a new contract for Jones. On Ono's second day in office, he met with Babcock about the direction of the athletic programs and they had a goal to keep Jones at UC. In the middle of the season, Babcock told Jones, "You're our guy," and that they were committed to keeping him as head coach.
After the South Florida game, at least five schools expressed interest in Jones. Babcock and Jones talked about the pros and cons of each school, and Jones said he wanted to look at Purdue and Colorado.
Jones will be introduced as the Vols new coach at 2:30 p.m. Friday afternoon at Neyland Stadium.
Jones will replace Derek Dooley, who was fired on Nov. 18. The Vols pursued Louisville coach Charlie Strong, who elected to stay with the Cardinals.
Jones led UC for three years, leading the Bearcats to two conference championships. In each of the last two seasons, he has been honored as the Big East Coach of the Year. In six seasons as a head coach, he has led his teams to four conference titles. He has a career record of 50-27.
Jones, who changed his Twitter handle to @UTCoachJones on Friday morning, tweeted, "It is truly an honor and a privilege to be a part of the Vol Nation!"

---- — PLATTSBURGH — Lightning may not strike twice in the same place, but Handel was an exception last summer.
The fallout is "Too Hot To Handel," presented by the SUNY Plattsburgh Gospel Choir and Champlain Valley Voices at the choir's Soulful Christmas 2012 concert Sunday.
"It was serendipitous," said Dr. Dexter Criss, artistic director of the Gospel Choir. "Andrea (Ogle, music director) and I were talking about 'Too Hot to Handel' over the summer. I said this would be a great thing to do with Champlain Valley Voices."
Two weeks later, Dr. Karen Becker, artistic director of Champlain Valley Voices, called Criss with the same idea.
"I said, Karen, you will not believe this, Andrea and I were talking about this. I told Karen the logistics would be crazy, but let's just say yes and work out the details later."
Baltimore Symphony Orchestra music director Marin Alsop collaborated with Gary Anderson and Bob Christianson to create "Too Hot to Handel," a jazzy and soulful interpretation of G.F. Handel's classic "Messiah."
"It's almost like a collision of two worlds: gospel and the classical form of the oratorio," Criss said. "'Too Hot to Handel' represents a marriage of the gospel and classical genres.
"The fact that our two choirs can come together to collaborate speaks well to what can happen when people decide to bring to the table the best of what they do. The Gospel Choir brings in the rhythmic and energetic part. CVV brings the disciplined choral approach.
"Having a skilled band that can handle the music, it will make for an amazing night. As I have been telling people, it's a night too hot to handle."
"Too Hot to Handel" selections include "And Suddenly," "And He Shall Purify the Sons of Levi" and "Glory to God."
The second half of Sunday's program features the choir's traditional soulful holiday and gospel fare, as well as the kinetic offerings of the Praise Dance Team and Step Team. WIRY Home Town Radio's Charlie Stone will emcee the event.
"We're doing traditional Christmas carols and down-home Southern song selections," Ogle said. "We're doing a mixture."
The choir will perform a "Joy to the World" sing-along, "Higher Medley" from the film "Joyful Noise" and "Have You Heard About the Baby," recorded by the Broadway Inspirational Voices.
Down-home selections include Patti Labelle's rendition of "Ready for a Miracle" and Donna Lawrence's gospelized a capella of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas."
"That is going to be nice," Ogle said. "Joining us on that is a UVM student, Alan McCarthy, singing bass. He's super excited."
Sunday's program gets an additional dose of Handel with Quincy Jones's gospel arrangement of the "Hallelujah Chorus." The Gospel Choir unites again with Champlain Valley Voices.
"It's definitely more upbeat," Ogle said. "It's definitely not one you can stand poised and just sing it. You have to really bop and kind of groove with it, which makes it so fun. Quincy Jones is really creative with coming up with that arrangement.
"The 'Hallelujah Chorus' is the meeting of the two genres, of the two styles. It's at the end of the program, a closing selection with CVV."
The Champlain Valley Voices and the SUNY Plattsburgh Choral Union will present Handel's "Messiah" at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 8, at United Methodist Church, 127 Beekman St., Plattsburgh.
"It really gives a better appreciation of the different styles of the interpretation of religious text," Ogle said.
Email Robin Caudell: email@example.com
WHAT: Soulful Christmas 2012, presented by the SUNY Plattsburgh Gospel Choir.
WHEN: 4 to 7 p.m., Sunday.
WHERE: E. Glenn Giltz Auditorium, Hawkins Hall.
ADMISSION: Tickets in advance from Angell College Center desk: $5 students, $12 faculty, staff and public. Tickets at door: $8 students, $15 faculty, staff and public.

For Immediate Release
Contact: Matt Schilling

COLUMBUS, OHIO (Sept. 5, 2012) – For the 28th consecutive year, the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) today ordered Ohio electric and natural gas utilities to reconnect or maintain service for customers who have been disconnected or are facing disconnection. Last winter heating season, more than 316,000 Ohio utility customers utilized the PUCO's winter reconnect program.
"Through programs like the PUCO's winter reconnect order, families and individuals experiencing hardship can have a sense of assurance knowing their heating service can be maintained or reconnected through these up-coming winter months," PUCO Chairman Todd A. Snitchler stated.
Under the program customers who are dealing with disconnection can have their service restored or maintained if they pay the amount owed or $175, whichever is less, plus a service reconnection fee of no more than $36. Customers may use the program once during the upcoming winter heating season between Oct. 15, 2012 and April 15, 2013.
There is no income eligibility requirement, but the plan requires customers to sign up for a payment plan to pay any remaining past-due balance on their utility bill. Eligible customers may apply payments from the Emergency Home Energy Assistance Program toward the $175 amount. If a utility's reconnection fee is greater than $36, the utility may bill the balance of the reconnection charge to the customer the following month.
Income-eligible customers who are interested in re-enrolling or maintaining participation in the Percentage of Income Payment Plan Plus (PIPP Plus) or Graduate PIPP Plus programs will now be required to pay the balance of any missing PIPP Plus or Graduate PIPP Plus payments over $175 before the due date of their next bill.
The winter reconnect program also applies to customers seeking to establish new service. Customers requesting new natural gas or electric service who have no outstanding balance with the utility may establish new service by paying $175, rather than paying the required security deposit. Customers who use the winter reconnect program to establish new service may have the remaining balance of the required security deposit added to their next month's bill.
The winter reconnect program is only available to customers of the PUCO-regulated electric and natural gas utilities that serve approximately six million residential customers across Ohio. The Commission urges rural electric cooperatives and municipally owned utilities that are not regulated by the PUCO to adopt similar programs.
There are several other state and federal programs available to assist those who qualify. The PUCO suggests that customers explore all options including PIPP Plus, the Home Energy Assistance Program and the Home Weatherization Assistance Program. More information about these programs and additional ways to save on home heating bills this winter is available at Ohio's Winter Heating Resource website www.winterheat.ohio.gov. Visitors to this site will also find information about budget billing, energy choice and energy conservation.
Customers who have questions about the PUCO winter heating season reconnect program may contact the PUCO at (800) 686-7826. To access an electronic copy of today's Commission order, visit the PUCO's website at www.PUCO.ohio.gov, click on the link to Docketing Information System and enter the case number 12-2382-GE-UNC.
The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) is the sole agency charged with regulating public utility service. The role of the PUCO is to assure all residential, business, and industrial consumers have access to adequate, safe, and reliable utility services at fair prices while facilitating an environment that provides competitive choices. Consumers with utility-related questions or concerns can call the PUCO Call Center at (800) 686-PUCO (7826) and speak with a representative.

Another $400 off and add IS and I might be interested. But the 24-70/2 OS rumor has me in a "wait and see" mode.

That's nearly worth buying and selling on eBay... is it?Since its going for $1999 everywhere...and you arent offering a warranty, you'd have to mark down to what, $1900ish? Take away Ebays fees and congrats, you made maybe $50.
Now, if you can resell on a forum like FM or POTN for $1900, then yeah, there is money to be made
NOTE: I suppose this means the I.S. version is getting ready?....No, it means like every lens Canon has released in the last year (24mm, 28mm, 35mm, 24-70f/4 IS, etc), they realized they overpriced by about 20-25% of what the market will pay. The 24-70 should have been $1999 from the start, and they are adjusting their prices to reflect that.
If you see this lens at <$1600 without rebates, then yeah, maybe they are bringing out an IS version
I wish it was a out right rebate instead of a mail-in-rebate ... jealous of you Americans.
Yeah... if it were instant, like they have been before, I'd have ordered and shipped to Canada.
Likewise, I dislike dealing with MIR. Even though, I did purchase the 135mm under the current Canon lens sale.
canon rumors FORUM
This is FOR REAL. I just hung up with customer support and was credited $300 on my purchase of this lens last week.
THANKS CANON RUMORS for putting $300 back in my pocket !!!

He still can get Tamron 24-70 VC for 1.3K. It's sharper than Canon 24-70 MK1 and comes with VC though it's not as sharp as Canon 24-70 MK2. He also could wait for Sigma 24-70 f/2 OS. I believe Canon 24-70 IS version will be priced about 2.8K.Another $400 off and add IS and I might be interested.Well ... I guess you are entitled to your dreams.

From: Binny's, Arlington Heights, IL
Date: 2009 edition
Glass: Tulip
A very strong wheat ale that bears no relation to the "American Wheat Ale" style: syrupy malt, caramel, and ethanol flavors dominate. Further, while the label seems to suggest usage of a German yeast strain (claiming tastes of vanilla, clove, and banana), I don't notice any of these flavors. This is probably closest to a wheat wine, a bottle best shared among many friends, and generally rather average in my opinion.
A slightly hard pour produces a head of 1.5cm, dirty white in color, which has fairly average retention, lasting a minute or so. The receding foam leaves a modest amount of lacing along the sides of the glass. Body is dark copper colored, with light bringing out burnt orange, red, and brown hues. Body has a strong opacity, but is not fully opaque. Carbonation is visible, though a bit sluggish.
Aroma is fairly pleasant for the style, with notes of heavy caramel, mild toasted nuts, and noticeable, but not overpowering ethanol. Slightly oxidized by this age as well, as could be expected.
Tasting opens with plum, Bosc pear, dates, and grape-like fruity esters, all tangled up with heavy caramel sweetness and some obvious ethanol. Mid-palate finds continued caramel, heavy ethanol, a bit of bourbon character. Back of palate continues with heavy, syrupy malts; caramel; and very noticeable ethanol. Aftertaste is of syrupy malt sugars, caramelized sugar, and heavy ethanol.
Beer is heavy to medium-heavy in body, with moderate levels of carbonation. Very rich, a definite sipper. The resulting mouthfeel is smooth across the palate, with fairly high ethanol levels. The high ethanol content and resulting burn across the tongue, throat, and heat in the nostrils makes it difficult to want to drink more than half a glass of this.

3.4/5 rDev -13%
A - Pours a red amber color with very thin lacing ring, no head from the start, no carbonation, and very viscous as it sticks to the glass like clear syrup. Appearance is thick.
S - Sweet and heavy caramel/toffee candy sugar, alcohol, and bready malt, slightly medicinal. The look or aroma does not resemble a wheat beer, smells more like a Doppelbock.
T - Medicinal, cloying sweetness with pronounced alcohol warming in the back of the throat that lingers for many minutes. Sweet caramel toffee malt that starts out on the cloying side until midway through when some faint lemon citrus bitterness surfaces as a poor attempt to keep the cloying sweet malt barely under control. There's some light oak notes buried in there as well as a little bit of clove spice at the very, very end.
M - Thick bodied, slick, viscous, and velvet as it glides over the tongue.
O - A cloying, boozy mess. Then again, this bottle is three years old, I'm looking forward to locating a 2012 and revisiting my review. If you still find a 2009 on the shelf, maybe best to pass it up.

2009 vintage 750 ml poured into pint glass
A- Cloudy, looks a lot like apple cider. Dark copper color. About a 1" head with lots of chunky sediment floating around.
S- Wet vegetables. This strange aroma juxtaposes the other sweet and matly smells coming from the beer.
T- VERY strange, and the taste is quite similar to the smell. The vegetables come out in a big way, ending with a musty taste like if you licked the basement floor. The sweetness from the malts is what keeps this beer together. That, and the slight bitterness from hops at the end.
M- A thicker mouthfeel than expected. A bit grainy, as well.
O- Meh. This is a very strange brew that I would recommend only for the more adventurous palettes. Thick taste without thick flavor to back it all up (last sentence from my notes, I guess it is what I thought when drinking the beer).

Summer 2011 bottle. 8%. Probably past its prime, but I'd rather try it than not!
Light golden in colour with a large white head. Good retention.
Wheat is clearly present in the nose, to no surprise. Some breadiness and some floral and grassy hop scents. Lemon. A bit of caramel.
Taste is pretty faithful to the nose. Wheat, grassy hops, lemon, caramel, bread. Some banana but not a lot. Alcohol is noticeable. Somewhat unusual. I wouldn't call this an APWA, though neither is it a traditional weizenbock. Not bad but not a real winner, in my view.
Pretty highly carbonated, medium bodied, alcohol noticeable.
Overall, pretty good but not great. I expect that it would be better if I had managed to get a fresher bottle. It's not bad but could use some work. I imagine the 10% version must have been far too boozy, because even the 8% comes across quite strongly.

Always fun to review regional beers...
pour is golden a shit.. honesty. I expected this to be a nice bottle conditioned beer, and it is the clearest goldenest color I have seen in a beer.
nose is full of hay and grass...
taste is exactly what I would expect from the nose... hay... boring hay. booze comes through, to break up the boring... but it is ultimately boring.... this is just an average imperial whit... though I can think of any other imperial whit... so I guess this is great?

Bottle: Poured a bright golden color ale with a big foamy white head with good retention. Aroma of dry wheat is pretty intense and interesting. Taste is also dominated by wheat with a dry finish. Not a lot of banana and cloves notes are discernable thought. Body is slightly above average with some adequate carbonation and no alcohol is discernable. Overall, this is way more interesting then the brewery usual offering but still not as complex as expected.

Grand Reserve 2011. Only 8% ABV as per the label.
Poured in to Duvel tulip.
A - Pale straw yellow with a small amount of white head that quickly dissipated.
S - Belgian yeast up front with almost a slight funky aroma to it. Bready malts and a touch of sweet caramel with a light floral hop presence.
T - A crisp bitterness up front from the hops. Belgian yeast, cloves, light banana & citrus flavours. The malts provide some semi-sweet bready flavours. The alcohol is not well masked at all here, which seems to be a theme in LTM beers.
M - Medium body; light to moderate carbonation.

750ml Bottle
Appearance – Hazy yellow/amber colour with a large size fizzy off-white coloured head. There is a low amount of carbonation showing and there is some fairly good lacing. The head lasted for around 5 minutes before it was gone.
Smell - Wheat/grains, lemons, bananas, spices
Taste & Mouth - The beer has an average amount of carbonation. I can taste wheat mixed with lemons, bananas, and a bit of caramel sweetness. There are also some notes of cloves and/or coriander. It finishes with a sweet lemon/banana aftertaste.
Overall – I was expecting this one to be overly sweet, but it was actually quite drinkable. Another solid beer from this brewer that is well worth the 6.99 price tag. I'd buy it again.

Poured into a wine glass. Pours a medium copper hue with a large light tan head that drops fairly quickly to a cap of foam.
Aromas of banana, wheat, alcohol, toffee and caramel. Bready wheat.
Flavors of sweet caramel, wheat, toffee, warming alcohol. Golden raisins. Green apples and pears. A little on the boozy side. Some alcohol bite.
Mouthfeel is medium, sticky malt, low bitterness, good level of carbonation.
Overall a very nice effort. Not an american pale wheat ale. Actually a wheat wine. Good none the less.

A - Pours a hazy golden orange colour with a two fingers of head with solid retention and some sporadic lacing.
S - Sweet citrus notes, but some caramel and cloves come through nicely.
T - The citrus notes dominate, much like the scent, and certainly very fruity with orange and lemon coming through nicely. A caramel malt comes through, but it is nicely complemented by the fruit notes.
M - Medium bodied with solid carbonation that goes down smooth and finishes with a touch of dryness.
O - I can understand why this is so highly rated. The drinkability of this 10% ale is incredible and could be easily disastrous. If you have the opportunity, you will not be disappointed.

750ml to stemless tulip.
I had the 2010 vintage so the abv is now at 8% not 10.
Pours a hazy golden orange with almost 3 fingers of head. (could be the operator not the beers issue)
Smells malty sweet with a bit of fruit, slight citrus smell near the end.
Taste is very nice. Notice a bit of fruitiness and general sweetness in the front. Balances nicely with a dry slightly bitter finish, though a definite yeast hint hits right at the end. The carbonation is slightly obnoxious on the tongue at first, but really mellows out as you drink it.
Paired well with baked ham and other rich foods.
Its a nice beer, and a nice drink though not as high on my list of repeatables as some others from Trois Musquetairs.

2009 bottle.
Poured into my Schneider & Brooklyner Hopfen Weisse glass a clouded and somewhat murky burnt orange with a large fluffy off white head that settles into a creamy mass.Vanilla and candied orange aromas are quite strong,sweet alcohol notes come into play as the beer warms as well.Whoo this is a big sweet monster on the palate,clove and vanilla yeasty notes to go along with that candied orange,the sweetness is not really held in check,I would say as I drink more it rears its head more.Full and creamy the mouthfeel somewhat counter balances the sweetness but its a sipper.Anyone who thinks there getting a "big" weizen will get a shock,its a big weizen,a really big sweet weizen.

"There would be no advantage to be gained by sowing a field of wheat if the harvest did not return more than was sown."
--Napoleon Hill
Ete (Summer) 2009. Marvelously murky and brassy pumpkin orange with sunny Sunkist accents. The pour produced almost three fingers of golden ecru colored mousse that is lightly creamy and looks good from creation to dissipation... which takes a while. Glass coverage could be more extensive.
The aroma is an equal combination of caramel malt, hefeweizen and alcohol. The first is a surpise (pale malt would've worked better) and the last two are pretty much as expected. Let's hope the fruitiness isn't quite so boozy on the palate.
Imperial Weizen is decent big beer that comes across as more of a BSAA (Belgian strong amber ale) at this point. The use of toasted-earthy-nutty malt partially covers up what should be the flavor focus. That is, hefeweizen yeast. A little more alcohol mellowing would have been good too.
The flavor profile is akin to caramel-dipped bananas covered with toasted nuts and bitter tea leaves... with a splash of brandy. This is a unique ale if nothing else, but it doesn't rise to the heights of the world's best Imperial weizens. Warming takes off some of the rougher edges, but doesn't otherwise change things.
The mouthfeel is actually a co-highlight. It's at least medium-full, lightly slick, lip-sticky, and the bubbles add just the right amount of energy. Not Belgianesque, but solid.
Les Trois Mousquetaires Imperial Weizen Grande Cuvee is interesting beer that doesn't quite make it over the hump. Fresher might have been better, but then again, an even more raw alcoholicity would not have done it any favors. Not recommended.

Reviewed on 12/31/2009. Bottle. Pours a murky orange brown with a small white head. Aroma of stale wheat and odd sugary malt. Flavor of sweet orange chewable vitamins and old malt. Probably an old bottle (although I don't know for sure). This was pretty disgusting, but I will try to update my rating if I can get a fresher bottle.

4.03/5 rDev +3.1%
A: The beer is cloudy orange in color and poured with a thin layer of bubbles that consistently covered the surface. A light amount of carbonation is visible from the rising bubbles.
S: There is an intense aroma of fruits in the nose; apples and berries stand out in particular.
T: Similar to the smell, the taste has mainly dominated by flavors of fruits and wheat. Some notes of alcohol are perceptible in the taste.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied and smooth on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
D: The presence of alcohol in the taste makes this a beer that needs to be sipped.

3.93/5 rDev +0.5%
A - Hazy orange with a fluffy, two finger white head. Very vibrant orange colour.
S - Very zesty with orange notes. Slight alochol aspect.
T - Slight booziness again. Lot's of orange and zest in there. Same components of aroma are present but just alot more intense. There is a slight yeast flavour present with a nice punch of fruitiness.
M - Floods the mouth with every gulp. Slight bitterness in the finish. Mild carbonation.
D - As the alcohol makes itself present this is held back. Having a 750mL bottle of this ABV would be way too much to session obviously. You could most definately go for a few glasses of this no problem. Nice and refreshing.

How do I parse the value of a checkbox xProfile field
I have an xProfile field named Specialty and defined as type=checkbox with 4 options: Area1, Area2, Area3 and Area4.
I can retrieve a specific members settings for this field via the following two lines of PHP:
get_var("SELECT `value` FROM wp_bp_xprofile_data WHERE `user_id` = $id AND `field_id`= $fieldID"); ?>
For example, the output for someone with Area1, Area2 & Area4 checkmarked is a:3:{i:0;s:5:"Area1″;i:1;s:5:"Area2″;i:2;s:5:"Area4″;}
This appears to be some type of encoded array but I can't find anything that explains the format.
I think I've figured out that (a:3) above means an Array of 3 elements and the first element (i:0;s:5:"Area1″) means the key is an integer of value 0 pointing to a string of 5 characters who value is Area1
1) is this format documented anywhere?
2) are there bp_* functions already defined that will properly parse this information?

The dam break is the second-worst natural disaster in the state of California: The failure of the St. Francis Dam, on March 12, 1928, killed more than 450 people, leveled farms and homesteads, destroyed property and livestock, and changed the way dam safety was addressed forever.

We'll tell you that we're cautiously optimistic that 2011 will ring in better times, deliver more bang-for-the-buck, and offer wine lovers a greater selection of affordably-priced wines.

The Baltimore duo Matmos crafts a unique brand of experimental pop music. Drew Daniel and Martin Schmidt use abstract instrumentation like elk whistles, balloons and bowls of water to create their rich sound, which makes for a performance unlike any other we've seen on Morning Becomes Eclectic. Matmos recently joined us to perform songs from its latest album, The Marriage of True Minds.

great location, nice house, wonderful garden
Great property, not far from Key West, but far enough to have a quiet stay. The house is perfect, but needs maintenance. The ground flour is too damp and the bathroom needs to be refreshed. The pool filtration doesn't work well, so it's difficult to keep it clean. Despite these few details, the owner, Steeve, is great and made everything to improve our vacation. One thing that could have help us, you can't use the docking for a boat, the water is really too shallow in the area. Locals can do it, but if you don't know the place, forget about it.

Classes will be held in two locations: the UMaine Extension Penobscot County office in Bangor and the UMaine Extension Aroostook County office in Presque Isle.

Cost is $50.00 per farm with a limited number of partial scholarships available. Sponsored by the University of Maine Cooperative Extension and Risk Management Agency.
Last year 63 people attended this program and all who attended felt more confident in their ability to create a viable farm business. Ninety-four percent said they would recommend others to attend.
"Before this workshop I felt I would succeed in farming, but through trial and error, now I feel I will succeed based on my new knowledge of farming." — Participant

ATHENS - Georgia held a third straight day of full-pads practice, which is very unusual for the Bulldogs. Normally in a game week they only go once in full-pads, on Tuesdays.
It would appear to be a nod to playing LSU, which is known for its physical style of play.
It was mainly to keep the right kind of tempo. The right kind of mental edge. And carrying your pads isnt a bad thing to do. The goal wasnt to splatter everybody and get everybody hurt. The goal was just to keep a good frame of mind during practice.
Richt shrugged off a question about potential risks for injury.
We came through it well, I guess is the best I could tell you, Richt said.
Long snapper still up in air
Nate Theus and Trent Frix have continued to split time the long-snapping duties at practice this week. A decision will be made by assistant coach John Lilly before the game, according to Richt.
Theus, a sophomore, was the first-string snapper on field goals, extra points and snaps. But a muffed snap on a short field goal at Clemson and a high punt snap against North Texas has put his job in jeopardy.
Frix, a freshman walk-on, is the brother of Ty Frix, who last season wrapped up a four-year career as the long snapper. Frix made the last two punt snaps against North Texas.
Elsewhere on special teams, punter Collin Barber said he expects Marshall Morgan to handle the kickoffs. Barber kicked off the first two games, while Morgan was on suspension, then Morgan struggled on some kickoffs against North Texas. But Morgan has continued to get the reps at kickoff this week.
Injury updates
Receiver Jonathan Rumph (hamstring) and tight end Jay Rome (ankle) werent able to practice fully on Wednesday, putting their status for the game further in doubt.
I would not count on Rumph right now. He has not practiced full speed, Richt said. Jay Rome is doing his best right now. If he had to play today it wouldve been tough. But hes got a chance.
Rumph, a junior college transfer, has yet to play, but the possibility of a redshirt isnt yet being considered.
I dont think were there yet, Richt said. He did well enough for us enough in camp that if we could get him healthy wed like to get him going if we can.

54 poems / 95 pages
Introduction by Gail Anglada Miller, Nov. 8 1983
First of all, you don't have to have known him previously to read the poems. He tells you what he believes in:
• His typewriter is his friend • His father is his judge • His work is his torment • Women are the secret of the universe
The poems are a tribute to creative persons, the ones who hang in, who don't desert, who stay, and transform "all the piddling little stuff" into something from which the rest of us can glean a measure of dignity.
The poems are frames--frames around the spaces between acts: between waking up and getting up, between getting up and going out, between "Sunday night / Monday morning."

BRADENTON -- Out with the old and in with the old school.
Within the week, new seats, though reflective of an older era of baseball, will arrive and be installed inside the 90-year-old McKenchnie Field ballpark in Bradenton.
New seating is part of a $10 million renovation of the ballpark, which has been the spring training home of the Pittsburgh Pirates since 1969.
On Monday, construction crews installed the framing for the future seats, which will be traditional baseball flip-up chairs. Trevor Gooby, the Pirates' director of Florida Operations, said the chairs will arrive later this week or by early next week.
The infield seats have all been removed. Additional seating in the outfield will swell McKechnie Field's capacity from 6,500 to 8,500.
Completion of the renovation project is slated for mid-February, in time for the Pirates' intrasquad game on Feb. 22.
Upgrades at the facility, also the home stadium for the Bradenton Marauders, the Pirates' high-Single A affiliate, include a 19,000-square-foot wooden boardwalk with tiki bar, covered bleacher seats, a building in centerfield that includes a concession stand, and a luxury, two-level party deck in left field that accommodates up to 80 people. The scoreboard has been moved to a new location on the field and the pitchers' bullpens, which used to run along the first and third-base lines, will now be positioned along the outfield walls in right and left fields.

U's may move to a new ground
9:00am Thursday 3rd July 2014 in Headlines By Mark Edwards , Sports Editor. Call me on 01865 425451
THE leader of Oxfordshire County Council has said he would back a move which could see Oxford United leave the Kassam Stadium and build a new ground at Water Eaton.
And last night, Ian Hudspeth said it would potentially allow the club's present home in Grenoble Road to be redeveloped for housing.
As revealed in Friday's Oxford Mail, U's owner Ian Lenagan is involved in takeover talks with at least two consortiums, and this newspaper understands any successful negotiations are likely to depend on the club owning their home.
But that might be away from the Kassam Stadium.
While an official approach has not been made for the site, which is located next to the Water Eaton Park-and-Ride and proposed new Oxford Parkway railway station, Mr Hudspeth confirmed informal talks between the county council and United have taken place.
But he warned there would be a number of obstacles to overcome with the land, which falls under Cherwell District Council's authority.
He said: "I had the idea a few months ago that it might be a potential location and did speak to Oxford United about it, but they were informal talks.
"The county council is not the planning authority. However, as an Oxford United supporter, I am obviously keen for the club to own its own facility.
"Water Eaton might do that.
"However, it is on Green Belt land and there would have to be discussions with Cherwell District Council."

- 11am Update: Bridle owner Stewart Donald backs Oxfordshire businessmen's consortium
United have paid rent to landlord Firoz Kassam since moving from the Manor Ground in 2001, which is now believed to be around £500,000 a year.
That burden has hindered the club's progress, with the U's posting losses of in excess of £1m for each of the last two years.
Mr Hudspeth believes a move to a new location could suit all parties. He said: "From a transport point of view, it [Water Eaton] would be next to the train station, is on bus routes and there would be car parking, so transport-wise it is a very good location.
"We could then look at the Kassam Stadium, and it might mean that could be redeveloped for housing to assist Oxford City Council to provide the need for homes.
"I am aware that the desire of all Oxford United supporters to own their own ground is great."
Bob Price, leader of Oxford City Council, said the area would be ideal for such a development.
He said: "If ever you were looking at a site that's worth developing, then that would be it. It is obviously a viable site.
"The football club and the rugby club [London Welsh have shared the ground since 2012] are very important parts of the community and they serve a wide section of the community.
"We would be happy to take part in any discussions that ensure they both remain viable. We will look at anything that sounds feasible."
A consortium led by Mark Ashton appear to be favourite to take over the club should it be up for sale, with a team of Oxfordshire businessmen, fronted by Charlie Methven, also interested.
Mr Lenagan and Mr Kassam were yesterday both unavailable for comment.
Cherwell district councillor Michael Gibbard, the cabinet member for planning and the councillor for Water Eaton, said: "This is not something we are aware of and nothing has been put to us yet.
"My immediate thought is that it would be a major visual development in the Green Belt and not one to be encouraged but you could look at whether it is a special case."
