Looking for some help from my fellow Vikings Fans.
I didn't do so well in last years draft pool we run at the shop.
Mostly because I don't follow college ball enough (Gophers don't get much coverage down here in VA) to know all the prospects.
Here are the rules for scoring points in our pool:
a. Team picking in that position (trades are big here)
b. Position picked
c. Player picked
d. You have to submit the first two rounds.
For example in my Mock I have the Raiders picking Jamarcus at number one.
If in fact they did do that then I would get 3 points, however, if they pick Calvin Johnson I would only get 1 point.
Got the team right, but missed position and player.
Were I was missed most of my points last year was I would get the team and position but missed the player.
Again, don't follow the college players much.
With that said, here is what I have for the first round based mostly on team needs and a bunch of time spent on each teams web page(s) and alot of chat rooms.
;D I think that CJ could fall to us in this scenario
#1 Oakland (2-14)-JaMarcus Russell QB LSU
They are in the driver's seat for this draft, however, they also have huge cap problems and need to restructure or let go some of their key players.
Andrew Walter hasn't been effective enough during his time on the field to solidify his claim to the quarterback position come next season.
They also have a pretty young OL and could use some help at RB and WR depending on what happens with Moss and Porter.
Oakland can go any position with this pick, to include trading out of it, but if Oakland wants to start winning, they need a franchise quarterback and judging by what all expert accounts say, Russell fits the mold that Big Al likes.
#2 Detroit (3-13)-Brady Quinn QB Notre Dame
Detroit needs help at OL, QB and CB, in that order, so I really thought about Joe Thomas here as McMillen needs to do something sooner rather than later.
Still don't know how he still has his job.
Tough call to decide what he will do (current need/future of team) so I threw the QB situation (Kitna/McCowan) into the mix as a number one priority and have come to the conclusion that they are not the long term solution in Detroit.
McCown's best season by quarterback rating was in 2005 when he posted a 74.9 rating. He's shown flashes of being a strong quarterback, but has not been consistent enough to prove he deserves the starting job. With that said, the lions look to the future sooner rather than later in the draft.
#3 Cleveland (4-12)-Joe Thomas OT Wisconsin
The biggest problem for the Browns was the injuries to the offensive line. With center LeCharles Bentley apparently out for the duration of next season bolstering the protection up the middle becomes a priority. Joe Andruzzi and Cosey Coleman played decently this season, but too many sacks have been allowed and the running attack has been sub-par.
A lot of discussions on other boards by experts and browns fans have them picking Adrian Peterson here but I an not sure that a RB or their QB will be very effective with out a solid front line.
#4 Tampa Bay (4-12)-Gaines Adams DE Clemson
The Bucs are getting really old on defense. LB Derrick Brooks is closing in on his mid-thirties and getting paid a hefty sum, while Shelton Quarles is even older and will be thirty-six next season. It would be wise to begin preparing a young linebacker heading into next season for extra support and depth.
At defensive end, the Bucs could loose veteran in Simeon Rice, and the team would be wise to put some youth behind him as well. The cornerback position also presents concerns. Ronde Barber is in his thirties, and the Bucs picked up former Raider and Texan Phillip Buchanon because of their need. With the future a concern on defense, Tampa Bay will use their draft choices to add as much young depth as possible.
The other major need on offense is depth behind Joey Galloway at wide receiver. Galloway probably doesn't have much left in the tank at thirty-five, and receivers Michael Clayton and Ike Hilliard have not produced as was hoped. With 2006 third round draft pick Maurice Stovall on the bench, the team could test the market and bring in a veteran free agent receiver—like Drew Bennett—to get the job done and compliment Galloway.
Mostly because I want CJ to fall to the Vikes as well as team need, I am going to go with Def as my pick here.
Rationale is that
no matter what position on the line, the Bucs need a defensive force. Why not get the best defensive player in Gaines Adams who would pile up huge sacks for a team that missed Warren Sapp's intensity.
#5 Arizona (5-11)-Leon Hall CB Michigan
This is one that puzzles me a bit.
With Thomas, the only player that can help their biggest need (OL) off the board and Calvin Johnson still on the board, will the Cards trade out here to someone who needs a WR (i.e. Pats with two first round picks)?
Rolle and Green are is doing a good job but Macklin hasn't been what the Cardinals had hoped and the position lacks depth. The safety position will also need to be considered during Arizona's off-season plans, since Wilson and our boy Robert Griffith (age) have had troubles in coverage at times stopping the bigger faster wide receivers.
If they keep this pick I have them fixing their 3rd need (Secondary) here.
#6 Washington (5-11)-Alan Branch DT Michigan
Washington sure needs a lot of help on the defensive side of the ball, (ie. DE, CB, and MLB in that order) and don't have a lot of picks this year.
With that said this is another touchy spot for us to get CJ as I believe they will be looking to shop this pick and get some extra picks.
I haven't' worked out the details yet but believe if we don't switch with the Cards here is were we make our move up to get CJ.
Gonna stay with Wash taking a DT here but eventually I am gonna change this if we don't get a couple of FA WR's.
#7 Minnesota (6-10)-Calvin Johnson WR Georgia Tech
I know this is a pipe dream but I am going to stick with CJ here.
Again, I think, if we are gonna do it we will make a push for him at either #5 or #6 to keep other teams from coming up to get him.
For now I will let him fall to us at #7.
If he isn't there then I see us trading out of this spot if we can to get some additional picks however, not sure who would come up unless a team wanted Adrian Peterson bad enough to come up and get him and fix our WR position with later picks as this position is now pretty deep with quality blue chippers in later rounds.
#8 Houston (6-10)-Adrian Peterson RB Oklahoma
The Texans really need to address both the OL and DL in that order.
For the third consecutive season, had their quarterback (soon to be gone David Carr) sacked at least forty times. No team can win consistently when they are allowing their leader to be pressured so much and taken down so often.
Add to that the pressure of not taking Reggie Bush last year I have them taking RB at this position and using up whatever cap space and draft picks towards fixing defensive and offensive lines.
Additionally they could look at a QB here depending on what happens in the combine; however, I don't think anyone will warrant a pick here.
#9 Miami (6-10)- Laron Landy S LSU
Even with Daunte I think Miami would select a QB here if there was one available here.
If Quinn slips as far as some expect he could go here.
With that said, and no Quinn here the Dolphins they will either go for DL help for Jason Taylor or go with some help in the secondary.
Because of injuries in the secondary I have them picking Landry or Nelson here as he seems to fit their overall scheme.
#10 Atlanta (7-9)-Michael Griffin S Texas
Because SS Lawyer Milloy will turn thirty-four next season and FS Chris Crocker may not be entirely suited for the position, the Falcons could go secondary with this pick, but the Falcons could really use a DT if they like one here.
#11 San Francisco (7-9)-Dwayne Jarrett WR USC
Even though the 49'rs have used their top picks on offense the past two years and could use some help on the Defensive side of the ball they can't pass up on either Bowe or Jarrett here.
I have them picking Bowe on one of my mocks but put Jarrett here. Either one will give Smith better wide receiver than some he's thrown to this season.
#12 Buffalo (7-9)-Jamaal Anderson DE Arkansas
This is one that is tough also.
They could either go with a DB or DE here.
Cornerback Nate Clements is expected to depart via free agency, London Fletcher-Baker is also not expected to return and add to that that their DT aren't playing up to par.
#13. St. Louis Rams - Patrick Willis LB Mississippi
St. Louis has a desperate need at LB and DE with a possibility of taking a WR here.
Because dexter Coakley and Brandon Chillar have not played well and Chillar is still developing they should take a LB here.
#14. Carolina Panthers - Reggie Nelson S Florida
The Panthers need help at S, LB, TE and possibly QB.
Because there isn't really anybody here that fits the QB or TE bill I have them going for the best safety here to add depth to that position and LB is a reach, I have them going for their biggest need.
My rationale here is that even though Minter is in his mid-thirties he has a year or two left to develop Nelson. Together with Shaun Williams they should be set.
#15. Pittsburgh Steelers - Justin Blalock OG Texas
The Steelers need help at OL, WR, LB, and DE.
The first place that the Steelers will work to address is on the offensive line. Blalock can play both G and T.
My rationale here is that age and FA will hit them this year and they will be looking to add depth/fill holes.
Faneca is thirty, C Jeff Hartings will be thirty-five and RT tackle Max Starks will be a FA.
I wouldn't mind seeing the Vikes try to get Starks by the way.
#16. Green Bay Packers - Marshawn Lynch RB Cal
Ahman Green is getting older.
That is all I want to type about the Puckers.
#17. Jacksonville Jaguars - Lawrence Timmons OLB Florida State
Not sure what to do here as the Jags are not a bad team.
My thinking is that Jacksonville could either go LB here or OL (Levi Brown).
Both units played pretty good last year but are young and need some depth.
#18. Cincinnati Bengals – Brandon Meriweather S Miami
Then Bengals need help at a lot of positions because they are not sure who will be in jail from one game to the next.
Seriously though I have their needs at DB, DL and TE.
They could bring in somebody to learn from Sam Adams and maybe provide some relief/situational versatility alongside Bryan Robinson and improve their rush from within.
#19. Tennessee Titans - Levi Brown OT Penn State
Tennessee needs help at the OL, WR and DL positions.
With Drew Bennett possibly gone
;D(hopefully to our beloved Vikes) ;D they might look for help here but because they already have Brandon Jones, Bobby Wade, and Courtney Roby as a young group of receivers I think the OL is a bigger need at either
the G or T positions.
Rationale is that Mawae will be thirty-six shortly is starting to have some injury problems they will look to help protect their franchise (Vince).
I put Brown in here but think they might find someone else that moves up during the combine.
#20. New York Giants - Michael Bush RB Louisville
Because Tiki is leaving I have the RB as the Giants top concern heading into next season only because I am not so sure that they think Jacobs can carry the load as the number one back. If the team thinks that Jacobs can adequately replace Barber, they will still look to add depth to the position, since there isn't much left after Jacobs.
Louisville supposedly wanted to switch bush to WR when he first came in.
He has speed, can catch the ball and would provide the Giants with a Tiki like presence.
#21. Denver Broncos - Darrell Revis CB Pitt
I had the biggest holes for the Broncos at S, DT and WR.
Lynch is getting old, and they couldn't get any push up the middle from their DT's this year.
With that said, I had completely forgot about the loss of Darrant Williams.
Thanks to one of our fellow PPO'rs I fixed this by putting in a CB.
#22. Dallas Cowboys – Arron Sears G Texas
Dallas is another team the doesn't have to many pressing needs but should take a look at their OL starting with the G position, the team will look to add talent, depth, and youth. Right guard Marco Rivera will be 35 and Kyle Kosier may not be the permanent answer at left guard. The line has allowed 27 sacks up to this point, suggesting that changes will be made.
#23. Kansas City Chiefs – Demarcus Tyler DT NC State
KC has some holes on the Offensive side of the ball at WR, OL but should look at their other side of the ball problems here (i.e. DT or CB).
I think Allen and Hali seem to be ok at DE and will do better next year if they can land someone who can add some pressure up the middle.
#24. New England Patriots - Aaron Ross CB Texas
The Pats have the most leverage of all teams in this draft, at least in the first round with 2 picks.
They need help at S, LB and WR.
The smart move here would be for me to have them take Ginn, but I think Bellicheck is smart enough to know he is the most overrated player in this draft next to Quinn.
Rodney Harrison has battled injuries the past two seasons, and will turn 37. Although they have James Sanders at the position I think they will try to add some more talent/depth in the draft here.
I don't want to discount to much their other needs LB (age, Vrabel will be 32, Colvin 30, Bruschi 34, Seau if he returns 38) but Banta-Cain has been solid so I think they can wait and add a LB later not as a potential starter but more for insurance in case on of the old guys goes down.
Even though Caldwell and Jackson did pretty good Brady could lobby for a WR here also if he has any say.
We might see one of the lower level WR's taken here or with their next pick.
#25. New York Jets – Victor Abiamiri DE Notre Dame
The Jets did a lot better than I thought they would last year. They added "The Brick†and Mangold on the OL and Coles Cotchery did pretty good at the WR spot.
I think they expected more out of McCareins and Dwight Smith is old.
With that said I think their bigger concern is on the DL.
Abraham's leaving hurt so I think they will look to replace him here.
#26. Philadelphia Eagles - Earl Everett OLB Florida
The Eagles need help at the LB, S, and OL.
Trotter's health continues to be a factor driving them to look at this position especially if Gaither and McCOY are not the answer the team is looking for. Also, additional help at the outside linebacker spot will help since the position isn't as strong as it once was.
Safety is another spot with Dawkins turning thirty-four and little depth on the roster.
I will probably change this pick altogether after the combine.
#27. New Orleans Saints - Dwayne Bowe WR LSU
Here is another team that played better than expected.
They really only need some help at CB and TE, WR.
With Horn leaving I think they will look to steal a WR ahead of the Pats here and take Bowe or Ginn.
#28. New England Patriots (f/SEA) - Paul Posluszny, LB Penn St.
They fix their LB problems here.
Tough and mean.
Only issue is what shape his knee is in.
#29. Baltimore Ravens – Kenny Irons RB Auburn
The Ravens needs are RB, OL and maybe QB.
Lewis is maybe starting to show some wear but did do better after "Bill ick†took over play calling duties.
Although he will probably still start next year there isn't a bunch of depth there especially with Mike Anderson turning 34.
Iron's is a project but can run with power and catch the ball.
They could also go OL or QB (McNair still has some life in him) but Bush is just to good to pass up here.
#30. San Diego Chargers – Ted Ginn WR Ohio St
The Super Charges don't need much help that I can see.
Most of the drafts nicks have them needing WR and OL help.
IMO he slips this far because of his size, he is just too small, and drops too many passes to go higher.
#31. Chicago Bears – Amobi Okoye DT Louisville.
The bears need help on the OL and LB (Briggs will be a FA) but I think they will have to take a look at DT here just in case somebody goes to jail.
Don't want to talk about them anymore than the Pukers ;D
#32. Indianapolis Colts – Quentin Moses DE Georgia
:)Congrats to the Colts, Tony Dungy, Marvin and Peyton.
:) Edgerin Who?
They could go OL or LB here but because of Freeney might only be around for another year as they are going to Franchise him.
They might want to go ahead and pick a DE here.

The Murnaghans have called CHOP home for several months, Sarah's parents have been by her bedside every night. But tomorrow's homecoming could be the biggest breakthrough yet.
From the Facebook status update that Janet Murnaghan longed to share with the world, to the welcome home balloons at the family's Newtown Square house, elation is in the air with 11-year-old Sarah's return home just one day away.
Only FOX 29 was there when medical equipment was dropped off ahead of her arrival. Neighbors say they are thrilled to have Sarah continue healing where she belongs.
"We've been always praying and thinking about her, sending her positive thoughts and it's such a relief for all of us," says Felice Hefferan.
Felice Hefferan lives next door and is a close family friend. News of Sarah's homecoming has touched her deeply, but she says it's even more heartfelt when she looks at her son Ryan.
"He's asking about when Sarah is coming home. He's very close with Sarah's siblings. It's been great," says Hefferan.
"I like Sarah because I haven't seen her in a long time," says Ryan.
Sarah's journey inspired the nation for months, as the Murnaghan family chronicled every moment with pictures and videos. We first met her in June, during her dire need for a double lung transplant. She was dying from Cystic Fibrosis.
Her story made international headlines when we learned of a donor rule preventing her from getting on the adult transplant list because of her age.
The family celebrated when the rule was suspended and she got the lungs she badly needed. But a setback was just hours away, when those lungs failed.
A second surgery followed with new lungs, but ones that had to be treated, as doctors cut away a presence of pneumonia.
But we've seen several miracles and milestones after that. Sarah quickly recovered, her breathing tube was removed, she took her first steps after being bed-ridden for weeks. And we celebrated her 11th birthday with her while she continued the fight from her hospital room in CHOP.
Now a wish comes true as she prepares to take her first steps into her home.
Sarah's family has scheduled a 4 p.m. press conference from their door step tomorrow. That's when we will see Sarah at home for the first time. They will talk about this whole ordeal.

How far is too far when it comes to regulating smoking? It seems just about every week, more regulations are being proposed for cigarettes and tobacco products in the state of Illinois.
The battle lines have been drawn. In Chicago and all over Illinois, smoking regulation is a hot button issue for business owners, politicians and private citizens.
There are currently proposals in Illinois to ban smoking on college campuses and in cars with kids. A Chicago condo building even banned smoking inside private residences recently.
Senator Ira Silverstein of the 8th district backs the proposal regarding smoking in the car with minors. The Democrat said it's the secondhand smoke people are worried about.
"I think people are becoming more aware how harmful secondhand smoke can be, especially minors, which I'm targeting now," Sen. Silverstein told Good Day Chicago. "Secondhand smoke in children causes bronchitis, asthma, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), respiratory failure and cancer. The problem is that children breathe much more rapidly than adults and inhale more harmful chemicals per pound than adults do."

Educational Conferences & Workshops
Alzheimer Society of Washington offers both conferences and workshops that are intended for care partners and those who serve people affected by dementia related
Alzheimer's, and other dementia related diseases, can alter the way we connect with those in our community. Rather than isolation, there is hope. Learning about and accessing the resources, services, and support in our community can strengthen our circle of care. Organizations and individuals can learn more effective ways to connect with people experiencing the stages of dementia related diseases. It is critical that each individual affected, including care partners, understand they are not alone in one of the most challenging of life's journeys.
Our goal for both the workshops and conferences is to help our participants provide engagement opportunities that foster physical, emotional, cognitive, social and spiritual well-being of everyone involved. Each conference or workshop has specific objectives that they are built around from, categories of activities and engagement for a human being and the value of each when someone has dementia or is caring for someone with dementia, to providing knowledge of progression of the disease and typical behaviors to identify and develop appropriate and effective programming and care for each person involved.
- See our Calendar of Events for dates and locations of our next workshop Continuing education credits are available for healthcare professionals

A wreck involving a truck and an RV is causing major back-up on Interstate 435 Friday afternoon.
The wreck was reported on Northbound I-435 at Truman Road about 2:30 p.m. I-435. The two left lanes of the northbound roadway are closed. Also, the left lane of southbound I-435 is closed for emergency vehicles.
Officials said no injuries were considered serious.
Road crews hoped to have the scene cleared by 3:30 p.m. but, as of 4:05 p.m., the two left lanes of northbound I-435 remained closed. Officials altered that time and said they looked to have the scene cleared by 4:15 p.m.

Do You Still Need to Air Contest Rules?
Now that contest rules are consistently listed on radio station websites, what do stations need to do about broadcasting those rules over the air? A Radio Ink reader asks the question: Is there a law requiring we broadcast them on a regular basis through all day parts and do those rules apply to streaming as well? We turned that question over to broadcast attorney John Garziglia.
A disgruntled listener filing a contest complaint at the FCC is one of the surest ways to provoke the FCC into an enforcement action against a radio station. Therefore, asking about streaming is good as no broadcaster wants to be on the receiving end of an FCC complaint. Section 73.1216 of the Commission's rules governs on-air broadcaster conducted contests. That rule requires that, when a radio station-conducted contest is advertised, the broadcaster fully and accurately discloses the material terms of the contest, and conducts the contest substantially as announced or advertised.
There are no FCC contest requirements for programming on a streamed channel. For the on-the-air contest that is also streamed, provided the contest rules so state, the broadcaster may limit participation in the contest to residents of a certain geographic area, or require that prizes be picked up in person, to limit the contest to contestants in the broadcasters market area, rather than allowing streaming listeners at some far away location to enter and win.
The FCC states that the time and manner of contest rules dissemination are up to a licensees reasonable discretion. The material terms of a broadcaster conducted contest must be broadcast when the audience is first told how to enter or participate. A contests material terms must be disclosed periodically by announcements on the station, but do not need to be broadcast fully each time an announcement promoting the contest is broadcast. According to the FCC, the broadcast of the material terms of contest rules in a reasonable number of announcements is sufficient. Simply broadcasting the full contest rules at 3:00 a.m., however, is insufficient.
It is useful to note that the FCCs broadcast contest rules are not applicable to the commercial advertisement of non-licensee-conducted contests. Nonetheless, as with any advertisement, the station still has a liability for material broadcast so even if the FCCs contest rules are not implicated, the basic tenants of avoiding fraud, other scams, and violations of state and federal laws, should be observed.
Broadcasters are sometime asked to run a contest that the broadcaster believes may violate the law. The contest may involve what is believed to be an illegal lottery, offshore gambling, internet poker, the giving away of controlled products such as alcoholic beverages, or prizes that appear to be simply too good to be true. The broadcaster, of course, does not wish to turn away a buy, but also must avoid violating the law. My suggestion to a broadcaster in such a situation is to ask the entity or agency making the buy to supply a letter from its lawyer stating that the contest as planned is legal under applicable law. Asking the client for
a lawyer letter usually quickly ferrets out questionable broadcast material. Needless to say, even if you receive such a lawyer letter stating that the questionable contest is legal, you should still consult with your own legal counsel if you have any remaining doubts.
There are no separate FCC rules for contests on streaming channels. The FCCs contest rule purview is limited to licensee-conducted on-air contests. With all broadcast and streamed content, however, keep in mind other state and federal laws are also likely applicable.
Démystifier les mensonges, est un non-sens, comme la lecture d'un cruel devrait être, en particulier chez les personnes amour désespéré, mais vous n'aimez pas quelqu'un quand cruauté désespérée ne devrait pas arriver, surtout chez les personnes désespérées que vous aimez, mais vous n'aimez pas quelqu'un désespéré quand vous devriez être cruel, si la relation entre les deux hommes a commencé à croître inconscient, comme des clous que vous retirez les ciseaux viennent, la partie excédentaire de la coupe.

Jaguar Cub Maya turns 1, plays with pinatas and shows her stuffby Lynn Kalber
If you're a Paws Here fan, you'll remember our fun streaming web cam about 11 months ago, introducing the Palm Beach Zoo's new jaguar cub to the public.
Our exclusive web cam followed her progress for a couple of months before she was allowed into public view – she played with her mom, attacked her favorite toy ball, climbed on big sticks and was generally as cute as a button. She had fans all across the country!
There was a "name the cub" contest and she was dubbed Maya. Well, she just turned 1 this week and weighs in at 75 pounds. See her story here.
The zoo had a big birthday day yesterday. Hundreds of school children turned out to wish her well and draw pictures, which were attached to the guard fence around the jaguar exhibit. She was given a pinata full of jaguar food, and once she figured out food was in there, she attacked it quickly and successfully.
Last night, the zoo hosted a private birthday party and I attended – here are some of the photos from that event. Maya got a second pinata and didn't hesitate to jump quickly to tear it down.
There are a bunch of long, sharp reasons she's in a cage. Look at her claws in the photo of her pawing through the cage walls. Yikes. Good kitty.
The Ritz-Carlton catered the event, and Maya's birthday cake (the one for humans) was a true work of art. It had a portrait of Maya on it (see photo) that was solid chocolate! You'll have to trust me when I say the cake itself was delicious, too. A classy cake for a classy little girl.
She is still a doll. As we left the zoo around 7 p.m., there was a huge roaring that started up. It was very loud. It sent chills down our spine.
We turned to the zoo staff with a questioning look. "That's Maya. She's hungry," they said.
Whoa, kitty cat. Happy Birthday!

In their opening match of the 2012 CONCACAF Champions League, the Houston Dynamo pulled off an important away win in El Salvador. With Olympia beating CD FAS in their first match, it was vital for the Dynamo to get three points here in order to keep pace. They needn't have worried about it -- aside from a (too little too) late rally from FAS they were in control throughout, eventually earning a 3-1 win.
Brian Ching nearly ensured a perfect start for the Dynamo, winning a free kick on the right flank and then nearly scoring from it, just failing to get on the end of the cross as FAS' defence went missing on the set piece. A similar situation played out at the other end of the pitch, with Alejandro Bentos very nearly causing Tyler Deric some major issues.
It was obvious very early on that the hosts weren't doing enough to limit Houston's attack, and they were made to pay the price in the 12th minute. Colin Clark was given all the time in the world to cross the ball in, and Jose Miguel Granadino didn't even bother tracking Ching's run in front of goal. That was an error, and the 34-year-old made him pay, smashing a header past Luis Contreras to make it 1-0.
FAS replied with a good scoring chance of their own, with Alexander Larin picking out Ricardo Ulloa with a free kick -- this time it was Houston's turn to give up a free header, apparently. Fortunately for the visitors, Ulloa's aim was nothing like as good as Ching's, and they'd emerge unscathed.
And then it was 2-0. Some great interplay set Kofi Sarkodie free down the right hand side, and upon seeing Cameron Weaver free at the back post, the fullback sent in a perfect cross. It would have been very difficult not to score, and Weaver didn't disappoint, doubling Houston's lead via a header that Contreras got a hand to but couldn't keep out.
The hosts managed to get back into the game but found themselves playing overelaborate football in front of Deric's goal. They were also fairly unlucky -- it's a bit of a mystery why FAS didn't get a penalty after Nathan Sturgis knocked down Bentos in the penalty box before halftime, and even when they got a break with a blown offside call, they still couldn't profit, with that same Bentos screwing a shot just wide when free on goal.
Houston needed a third goal to be completely confident in taking home the points, and they got it on the hour mark, when Sturgis curled a corner onto Je-Vaughn Watson's head, making it 3-0 with three headers. But that scoreline wouldn't last long thanks to an incredible blind flick from substitute Jonathan Aquila, who reacted to a loose ball with an instinctive backheel scoop that he managed to squeeze past Deric to get a goal back.
Deric had to move very quickly to preserve even that 3-1 lead when Edwin Sanchez let fly with a long-range piledriver, but the Dynamo keeper was up to the task, flying into a fingertip save that took the ball just beyond the post. A less charming part of his game popped up in the 84th minute, when he was booked for timewasting, but it was difficult to blame him with Houston edging closer to a big win.
Three minutes of stoppage time later, they got it.

The Herald Bulletin
The Herald Bulletin
---- — ANDERSON — The post of general director for the Church of God Ministries, based in Anderson, was turned over Wednesday to the Rev. Jim Lyon.
Lyon was chosen by the faith movement's General Assembly to serve the role served by Ronald V. Duncan who is retiring after 11 years in the post.
Lyon has been pastor at the Madison Park Church of God.
Wednesday, Lyon thanked General Assembly delegates for giving him the role. He said the church's role of focusing on people was like the face of Christ. "Can you imagine a church of which you can so very proud and humbled to be a part of?" he asked.
In handing over the torch, Duncan said he set five goals when taking the post in January 2002.
"Among the five was to hand off to my successor as few problems as possible," Duncan said. "My successor will be receiving a financially sound organization. We have no external debt. The building is debt free and we have a few dollars in reserve.
"Not many, Jim," Duncan said, looking toward Lyon who was at the assembly.
The change of leadership, which had been expected for months, capped the end of the movement's Global Gathering 2013, a conference for members and congregations worldwide.
Duncan urged assembly members to work together in espousing the movement's beliefs "to discover the beauty of holiness and unity and deliver that message in a 21st century context."
He said new churches must be planted "at a rate that exceeds our past record."
Lyon's Madison Park Church of God is in the process of filing for bankruptcy after it could not sell property to help pay back a loan for construction of its building when it moved to its south side location from a Scatterfield Road site.

Opportunism knocks in Missouri
Add Rand Paul's name to the list of opportunists seeking to exploit for political purposes the tragic shooting of young Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. The race-hustlers populate the list, of course. So does President Obama, who sees a topic in his supposed wheelhouse (but in reality a local matter) through which he can distract attention from his disastrous foreign policy.

Rand Paul: To the left of Eric Holder on felon enfranchisement
I wrote here about Rand Paul's unconstitutional plan to propose federal legislation that would enfranchise some felons. Now, Sen. Paul has addressed the constitutional issue posed by such legislation. He argues, in essence, that states decide who votes in state elections, but the federal government has the final say on who can vote in federal elections. Roger Clegg makes short work of Paul's contention: The U.S. Constitution itself explicitly gives »
Rand Paul — faux constitutional conservative
Rand Paul is fond of invoking the Constitution to support his policy preferences. But is he really a "constitutional conservative"? Roger Clegg raises the question in light of Paul's announced plan to introduce federal legislation to enfranchise some felons. This plan probably reflects Paul's desire to increase his appeal to African-American voters. But is it constitutional? No, it is not. As Clegg explains: The Constitution gives the states the authority »
Rand Paul lets Obama off the hook in the Middle East
Rand Paul said today on Meet the Press that he does not blame President Obama for the instability in Iraq and elsewhere in the Middle East; instead he blames President Bush. Paul told an undoubtedly delighted David Gregory: What's going on now I don't blame on President Obama. Has he really got the solution? Maybe there is no solution. But I do blame the Iraq war on the chaos that »
A long, hard fall for Rubio and Christie in New Hampshire
A new Granite State poll of likely New Hampshire Republican primary voters is out. The poll was conducted for WMUR by the University of New Hampshire. The results can't be taken too seriously because only 1 percent of those surveyed say they have definitely decided how they will vote. But the results are interesting, nonetheless. Rand Paul is the leader at 15 percent. He is followed by "favorite daughter" Kelly »
Is Paul Appealing–Or Appalling?
We've got a link in our "Picks" section this morning to Bret Stephens's Wall Street Journal column mockingly titled "Rand Paul for President," whose subhed suggests that perhaps the GOP, like Democrats in the 1980s, needs to suffer a landslide defeat to get its head on straight. Stephens thinks Rand Paul's "bark-at-the-moon lunacy" would be just the ticket. Paul's partisans will discount Stephens as part of the neocon conspiracy. But »
The 1970s are calling
Rand Paul says he will call for the creation of a bipartisan committee to probe and reform the intelligence community. Paul wants the committee to "watch the watchers," along the lines of the post-Watergate Church Committee in the 1970s. This idea was well-received by Berkeley students, as you would expect. The Church Committee too was very popular in leftist circles. The Church Committee was a response to serious abuses of »
Rand Paul Does Berkeley
Rand Paul is one of a small number of Republicans–Marco Rubio is another–who have the potential to expand the playing field in 2016 and bring a mostly-conservative message to voters who aren't used to pulling the GOP lever. He showed that again today when he visited the University of California at Berkeley: Nobody should be surprised that Rand Paul got so warm a welcome Wednesday, even in a city whose »
Rand Paul: Did an Old Prejudice Rear Its Head In His CPAC Speech?
I want to like Rand Paul. I really do. He is a very smart guy and in most respects a solid conservative. He has tried to distance himself from some of his father's less savory positions, and has even described himself as a "social conservative," although what he means by that is not at all clear. And Paul is indisputably an effective, even charismatic politician whose unique slant on the »
Will conservatives give Marco Rubio another look?
Politico reports that Marco Rubio is "seeking to rehabilitate his image with much of the GOP base" by falling back on "staunch conservative positions" such as a "more aggressive U.S. response to Russia in the Ukraine crisis." I hope that denouncing passivity in response to aggression by our adversaries remains a staunch conservative position. Rubio explained that "many of my supporters maybe disagreed with me on immigration — and disagreed »
Poll has Clinton and Christie in a dead heat
For what it's worth, and that may not be much, Chris Christie is in a statistical dead heat with Hillary Clinton in a poll by CNN/ORC International. The poll puts Christie at 48 percent and Clinton at 46 percent. Christie wins nearly six in ten votes among independents, and wins a majority of suburbanites and older voters. Clinton wins decisively among women. Unfortunately, Christie is the only Republican among those »
Ted Cruz trounces Rand Paul and Marco Rubio among "Value Voters"
Ted Cruz has won a straw poll at the Value Voters Summit. Cruz picked up an impressive 42 percent of the vote. His fiery rhetoric regarding the shutdown showdown, a topic avoided by other legislators who spoke to the group, must have helped. Rick Santorum and Dr. Benjamin Carson were next in the poll with 13 percent. Rand Paul finished fourth with 6 percent and Marco Rubio was fifth with »
Rand Paul auditions for role as voice of reason
Rand Paul said today that he would support a short-term funding measure "to keep the government open while we negotiate." The negotiations Paul has in mind would take place in "conference committee." Paul would put a time limit of a week or two on these negotiations. What are we to make of the Senate's most prominent libertarian breaking ranks with Republican hardliners in the name of reopening the federal government? »
The Foreign Relations Committee's Second Vote
Today the Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted 10-7 to authorize a limited use of military force in Syria. Those voting for the resolution included Chris Coons, Robert Menendez, Barbara Boxer, Benjamin Cardin, Jeanne Shaheen, Dick Durbin and Tim Kaine, all Democrats, joined by Republicans Bob Corker, John McCain and Jeff Flake. The resolution was amended, at McCain's insistence, in a manner that puts the U.S. on the side of the »
Marco Rubio and Rand Paul, compare and contrast
Marco Rubio and Rand Paul both questioned John Kerry and his sidekicks during yesterday's Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on Syria. Rubio was very skeptical about the president's idea of attacking the Assad regime; Paul was adamantly opposed to it. They were coming from different places. Rubio said he favors taking out the Assad regime, though he acknowledged the risks of doing so. Paul wants a "hands off of Syria." »
The Christie-Paul fight, and other fights to come
Chris Christie and Rand Paul are in the midst of a food fight. Not literally, but very much figuratively. Their debate has devolved from one about warrantless federal surveillance programs to the question of which state, New Jersey or Kentucky, receives more "pork." You can read some of the lowlights here. For the record, I'm with Christie on the original issue — warrantless federal surveillance programs — and agnostic on »
Quantum Conservatism?
So the big story on the right today is that Gov. Chris Christie has leveled a blast at libertarians, in particular his potential 2016 primary rival Sen. Rand Paul: "This strain of libertarianism that's going through both parties right now and making big headlines I think is a very dangerous thought. … You can name any number of people and he's [Rand Paul] one of them," Christie said at a panel »

High Availabilty for VPNs
IPSec prevents many of the clever tricks high-availability products employ. We'll show you a solution that provides transparent backup for IPSec connections.
System administrators often want a network connection system that switches transparently to a backup if the primary connection goes down. But if you use a VPN with IPsec to protect your traffic en route through the Internet, the backup line needs some special attention. The reason for this attention is that IPsec [1] [2] requires consistent IP addresses at the endpoints of a tunnel, so when the network switches to a different tunnel, the IP addresses must switch to the new endpoints or else existing connections will be terminated. The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP [3]) offers a reliable means of maintaining a highly-available pool of IP addresses with a number of providers. Unfortunately, provider service agreements often prevent admins from using BGP for an existing Internet connection.

In the wake of the Federal Government shutdown, public ire continues to grow against Congress members who refuse to pass a funding bill.
A recent poll by the Public Policy Polling Organization graphically reinforces this, finding that of the registered voters polled, 85% disapproved of the job Congress is doing. Only 8% approve.
Democrats, Republicans and Independents are pretty much in agreement on their distaste for the Legislative body.
For comparison purposes, pollsters asked about the public's opinions of witches : 46% approval, jury duty: 73% approval, hemorrhoids: 53% approval, and zombies: 43% approval.
In fact, the only thing those polled hated more than Congress right now were the Ebola virus, Honey Boo Boo and Miley Cyrus. You can see the rest of the poll results here.

Appearance - This is a rich, heavy orange in color yet clear with a nice, retentive head that came up on a vigorous pour.
Smell - The pine is stiff but balanced. There's some orange in here as well along with a much larger floral hop aroma. The malts are very sweet and full of butter.
Taste - The malty butterness is wonderful here and the hop combination from the nose pairs nicely with it. The floral notes are a bit more prominent but otherwise this is rightly balanced.
Mouthfeel - This is a bit lighter than I would have liked but just does qualify as medium-bodied. The carbonation is appropriate for the style. This ale is very smooth and creamy in the mouth and the light bitter bite at the end is just stiff enough to get noticed.
Drinkability - This is a very smooth DIPA with no hint whatsoever of the 9% ABV. It is big but not overpowering and would be an excellent choice to introduce the novice drinker to the style.

Review from BeerAdvocate Magazine Issue #35 (Dec 2009):
Obligatory chill haze on the orange-amber hue clears as the beer warms up a bit; solid- looking head. Smells of freshly macerated ruby red grapefruit, mint, faint pineapple and mangos. Mouthfeel pings off the palate with a sublime creamy body and smooth carbonation. Hop bitterness may have that initial sting, but the flavors really unfold with each sip; grapefruit rind, arugula and light minty tone. Some tropical fruit in the mix within the warming estery alcoholic profile here. There is enough malt to go around though, which keeps most of the bitterness in check. Stays juicy even while the hops pummel the taste buds.
Hop character is in your face--or ours, rather--fume of alcohol for good measure, and it all makes for a very good Double IPA.

A - Pours a slightly hazy almost amber color with a dense tan head that leaves a lot of sticky lacing behind.
S - Primarily tropical fruit hops, mostly pineapple. Some sweet caramel malt comes through as well.
T - Massive hops up front, again mostly tasting of pineapple, with some other tropical fruits mixed in. Nice amount of malt balances this out nicely.
M - Nice, bright medium mouthfeel with a nice level of carbonation.
O - Easily the best beer I've had from Karl Strauss, though still a notch or two below the best DIPAs I've had. Still, a very drinkable DIPA with hardly any noticeable alcohol.

22oz brown bomber.
Chunky sea foam head, excellent retention ... Sticks all over the glass. Hazed amber orange color. Big aroma of spearmint, grapefruit, lime zest, and wild flowers from the hops ... Hint of bready caramel malt and esters in the back. Smooth bitty medium body. Hops are here to play, to take over, to show their strength and they do. Alcohol settles in quick, warming and a hint of fruity esters. Bready and yeasty edge within. Hoppy after taste with a fume of alcohol.
This beer has a full on grasp of the style, a great beer all around.

Thanks to bman1113vr for sharing this bottle. This is beer number 2500 for me.
The beer pours a golden-yellow color with a white head. The aroma is very fruity. I get a lot of grapefruit, pineapple and papaya notes. The tropical fruit notes in the beer really stand out, with very little else coming through.
The flavor is more of the same. I get a little biscuit malt, but I also get a ton of pineapple and papaya. The beer is full of hop flavor but the bitterness is fairly low. Overall, the beer is very drinkable,
Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

A- nice fluffy white head, very clear amber hue
S- it's official... I can pick out Nelson Sauvin in a beer. That was the first thing I said when I took a whiff, and sure enough it was mentioned in the description. smells like Grand Marnier, almonds, marzipan, white wine. very intricate, yet one dimensional, as these are all aromas produced by the hops. The aroma is mouth watering, really.
T- There's hops in it...
For the most part, the taste mirrors the smell, but with further subtle intricacies. I get hints of pomegranate on the tail end, toasted malt, almost quinine-like bitter notes, lemongrass and ginger. This is a really layered beer
M- this beer hides its ABV remarkably well. you simply can't tell that you are drinking a 9.0 % alcohol beer. The body is thin, but the flavors linger and evolve long after each sip.
O- While I don't think that this is a groundbreaking DIPA, it is a world class example. My only gripe is the $8 price tag that I paid (at a store that is known for marking up a bit high). At a good price, I would buy this again.... but only if Pliny wasn't available.

A rare good DIPA from Karl. Poured hazy orange with a frothy white head and good lacing. Very nice orange and grapefruit aroma with equal parts piney goodness. Some caramel malt that fades in the background. Hearty mouthfeel without being sticky. Solid hop bomb of citrus and herbal/resiny hops. Leans on the sour citrus rather than the tropical sweetness. Enough malt to keep in balanced, in terms of DIPA's. Really, really liked this.

Big Barrel is one of my favorite KS beers. The New Zealand hops come strong in this one.
Appearance- Golden hue with a light head
Aroma- I get a lot of Mango and Pineapple
Taste- Tropical fruitiness with light-medium malt backbone
Drinkability- An easy drinking Double IPA with my type of hops.

Glowing orange with a thick off-white head and lots of stick left all over the glass. Gorgeous.
Incredibly pungent and tropical aroma. The distinct Nelson hops really shine here. The aromas are of strong, smashed pineapples and grapefruits, along with a strong floral note, and some dank, sticky marijuana. Love it! One of the best aromas I've ever experienced from any DIPA.
Medium to high bitterness, but loads of grapefruit and pineapple flavors balance things out. Again, the Nelson hops shine through tremendously.
Medium to thick body with a dry finish.
An absolutely wonderful DIPA. I need to have this one again (and again and again and again). Honestly, I never expected a DIPA this good to come from Karl Strauss--count me in as very pleasantly surprised.

Good light orange and light brown appearance. Amazing musty Nelson aroma, lots of dry pine to it, followed by a heartier, thicker grapefruit contingent.
Taste, hoppy, ample bitterness, doesn't weigh heavy in the mouthfeel. A little upbeat with ever so slight mint feel to it. The most complex and best Karl Strauss I've ever had I'm thinking at this point. . . by far. Melds dryness with stickiness and a great reperesentation of the Nelson hop. Kinda strange, I've had this and the Nelson for the first time within the last month, and the results are completely surprising, as I like the KS more than the Alpine (for once).
A great amount of drinkability for a beer this strong, very easy going down. I would recommend you drink this earlier in your night (order wise with other beers) as the Nelson hop is delicate, but here, it is strong, but I just think the Nelson hop needs to really shine a little warmer and earlier in the evening.
$6 a bomber and well worth it. Easily the best thing ever from Karl Strauss.

Crystal clear hue deep copper with a big off white cream colored head chunky textured billows above the rim of my nonic imperial pint glass. Fine speckled lacing around the sides of the glass. Aroma hints of juicy ripened fruit with citrus/herbal hops in the backend. A bit of maltiness and diacetyl popcorn butter tones. Just a hint of that ,with caramel malt tones earthiness balances as well. Flavor this one is in the mix between a light barleywine and a heavy DIPA it has alot of juicy malt caramelized sugars flowing back and forth. Sugary malt layers is really off putting with a bit of hot alcohol tones this is not refined nice and easy going big West Coast hoppy ales this is a diefferent direction. Mouthfeel is a bit cloying resinous but heavy on the palate residual sugars eliminate the clean drinking experience carbonation does live up to the bigger body. Drinkability has to get better for this style, no more heavy set women taking up arms unless you know somebody is getting to you, and want if you want me to get involved again, then maybe someday we will get a more refined version of what we're looking for.

Bottle shared by Joe - thanks!
Pours a slightly hazy copper color with a one-finger off-white head. The head recedes into a patchy layer on top leaving decent lacing.
Smells of a combination of pale and moderately dry caramel malts with large amounts of citrus and tropical fruit hops.
Tastes similar to how it smells, although the hops aren't quite as robust as in the nose. Equal amounts of pale and caramel malt flavors kick things off and are joined quickly by large amounts of citrus, tropical fruit, and lightly herbal hop flavors. The flavor profile sweetens a bit midway through the sip before ending with a solid amount of bitterness.
Mouthfeel is good. It's got a nice thickness with moderate carbonation.
Drinkability is very good. I had no problems finishing my glass and could easily have a few more.
Overall I was pleasantly surprised by this beer after not really enjoying any of the previous beers I'd had from Karl Strauss. This one's well worth a shot.

The Nelson Sauvin hop was really interesting in the Mikkeller single hop, and it is masterfully used here. First comes the "white wine" taste (and the aromas are lovely grapes) and a good one at that, then in the finish, other hops put the beer into 90 IBU territory, so hops in your face. Nebver harsh, this was an absolute delight and worth seeking out. Above average mouthfeel, a great smooth drinker.
Kudos to my southern neighbour that sent this one.

Karl Strauss is rather easy to overlook in the San Diego beer scene - there are just so many great brewers at work in the area. I enjoy their sessionable ales once in a while, but here we have an attempt to make a BIG beer on par with some of the offerings from their more renown neighbors.
Poured from a 22oz bomber into my Dogfish Head shaped pint glass.
Deep tangerine colored body toppd by a thick, lasting, soapy beige foam finger. Ropy lacing and faint glassy legs.
Nelson hops are readily apparent in the nose, adding a candy/berry like fruit note with a hint of guava and grapefruit as well (from the Ahtanum I suppose). Malts are present with a vague sweet/spicy/smokey element too.
Big citrus (grapefruit) flavors up front with a pungent pine-like element, but smoother than most C-hops. Hay-bale like backbone, sweet and grassy, but rather bitter, probably from a mixture of malt and (Warrior) hops. Smooth, almost cocoa or even oat-like finish once the bitterness finally recedes, though the fruit persists as well.
Medium-bodied, well carbonated, and very lightly astringent - alcohol is well disguised/integrated.
Unique, subtle, and very tasty - I'll be picking up the rest of this series of "big" beers over time.

Pours an effervescent honey/apricot with 2+ fingers of tan head. Very good lacing & head retention
S: Piney & citrus hops in copious quantities
T: Breadyness then grapefruit & pine up front, along with a bit of booze. Pineapple & cakeyness surface as this warms along with a slight smack of pine & grapefruit as this warms, along with toffee. Finishes cakey with leafy & grapefruitty hops
MF: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation & fair balance
Drinks pretty easy for the ABV & style, another stellar DIPA from Cali & a damn good showing from this brewery...

On tap at the Toronado (San Diego, CA) on 11/10/09. Served in a pint glass.
Pours a crystal clear copper, topped with a thin layer of brite-white creamy foam. This stays VERY rich when swirled, leaving a nice frothy cascade of lacing back, which quickly slides down the sides of the glass. The aroma here is totally West Coast smelling, with just at TON of floral hops, spice, and pine cones. This mixes in beautifully, with a thick underlying layer of grapefruit juice and bready caramel, which is still able to boldly show itself under all of that crazy hop activity. This just has a fresh and fierce pop to it, that I'm really digging.
The taste pretty much matches the aroma, with a strong and assertive hop presence, including monstrous notes of resins and spice, barely being balanced by a softer feeling backbone of sweet toasted caramel malts and tropical fruit character. Man, this is all about the hops though, with a bitter finish of peppery spice, resinous pine, and citrus rind, that just STICKS in the mouth. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, maybe even a bit fuller, with a big prickly creaminess to it that goes well with the huge hop profile. This is actually going down pretty readily considering the big bitterness and alcohol content here.
This was one of the big surprise beers from our recent San Diego trip, that was one of the more complete West Coast IPAs that we've had from there lately. Just big juicy hop flavors here, with just enough of a sweet backbone to keep this balanced and drinkable. It's great to see bold new beers like this coming out from Karl Strauss.

Pours opaque brow, with some light on the edges showing some red and brown. A big mocha head leaves tons of lacing.
Smell is sweet dark bread, chocolate and vanilla, roasted malts and a light fruitiness.
Taste is similar, sweet and roasted malt, chocolate, a hint of vanilla, almost rich.
Texture is smooth and light, yet still almost creamy. The beer leans from medium to light bodied in thickness, and is very easy to drink.
They got a lot of good texture and flavor into an almost thin beer. Pretty amazing. The sweetness is a nice break from the smoky char I was expecting, and if it were thicker, I would call it a stout. Very good drinking, especially for 8%.

A dark brown porter with ruby highlights at the edges. The most incredible lacing shines down the glass. Leaves the glass sticky and messy. Looks rich and decadent.
Roasted malts on the nose. Smells like a roasty and robust porter, though I don't get much chocolate aroma.
There's certainly more chocolate in the flavor and it's actually really nice. Balanced, sweet, bitter, roasted malts, chocolate--very good.
Medium bodied. Ample carbonation.
A tasty yet unaromatic porter. This beer has a decidedly nice chocolate character. I enjoyed it a lot and it made for a wonderful dessert.

Medium brown color with tawny hues. 1-finger tan head with very short retention.
Hot chocolate, vanilla, roasted barley, Hershey's chocolate syrup and a light coffee note. Some sense of sweetness in the aromas, but not excessive.
On the palate, cappacino, vanilla, mocha and a mild asprin bitterness on the back of the palate.
Medium bodied and fairly dry in style for the flavors. Pretty good attenuation in the beer. Finish is fairly short and and carries bitterness and astringency that remind of cold coffee.
Like the idea, but the beer lacks synergy.

Poured from 22oz bottle.
Overall, this is a perfectly average porter, but did not have much that is going to get me to come back and have this beer again.
The beer pours medium to dark brown, with a tanish head, visually appealing and a good start.
The smell is overall earthy, with hints of chocolate, with malt and a bit of copper, so pretty much an earthy porter.
The taste is what you would expect from a smokey porter, with hits of chocolate, and something creamy in the mix. It is simple but I enjoyed the experience. It also had a nice feel to it, but that was not enough to make me want to come back for more.

Appearance - Pours a deep, dark near black auburn brown with a light, brownish off-white 2 finger head. Great retention, leaving a strong layer of microbubbles floating on the surface. Moderate lacing on the glass.
Smell - Not strongly aromatic; touches on chocolatey roasted malt and a buttery character.
Taste - Not what was expected. More off-flavored butter flavor than chocolate. Chocolate is present, but moderate at best. Acidic bite. Moderate roast near the finish.
Mouthfeel - Medium to full in body with low to moderate carbonation. Acidic. Fair smoothness.
Overall - When drinking this, the first thing that comes to mind is neither chocolate, nor porter; not good when the name of your brew is 'Chocolate Porter'. I'm one and done with this beer. There are dozens upon dozens of chocolate forward brews I'd much rather have.

Pours a finger and half of head on a black body.
The aroma has some roasted malt and dark chocolate. It's a little on the faint side though.
The taste starts with some chocolate sweetness, then some mild bitterness, moves to roasted malt and bitter chocolate finish. Nice profile and well balanced.

On tap at The Bruery Annaversary Party. 4oz taster. Reviewed from notes.
Pours a dark brown almost mahogany color. Thin light tan head. Ok lacing.
Aroma is kinda fake chocolate smelling like hersheys chocolate syrup. Little bit of roast.
Taste is a roasty tasty porter. Little bit of chocolate that's not fake like the aroma. Smooth with a nice roasty bite.
Mouthfeel is a little high on the carbonation but pretty smooth.
Overall a tasty porter. I would buy it if it was in 6 packs.

Appearance- I knew this was a dark beer going into it, and once I poured it I wasn't disappointed. I held it up to the light and saw very little light shining through.
Smell - I picked up milk chocolate and maybe some hints of dark chocolate.
Taste - I like the taste of this 22 oz. bottled version, but I prefer the taste of the nitro version on tap at the Hangar 24 Brewery in Redlands, CA. They're both good, but the nitro version is much creamier and goes down smoother which, in my opinion, makes the nitro version on tap much better (Believe me, it's worth a trip to the Hangar 24 Brewery to try the nitro verison). Both have a distinct milk chocolatey taste with some mild bitterness but overall the nitro version is less bitter, even when it sits awhile and gets warmer.
Mouthfeel - The carbonation is much more present in the bottled version. As I said above, the nitro version is smoother and creamier. Both are good, but the nitro version goes down smoother for me.
Overall - I would choose the nitro version overall. Or, if Hangar 24 ever comes out with a nitro can or nitro bottle version, then I'd gladly buy a bunch of those and drink that. Some might read this and say, "Oh, c'mon... Guiness already has a nitro can and a nitro bottle." To that statement I would respond, "Yes, but Guiness is not 8% ABV."
I live in West Los Angeles, so Redlands is quite a drive for me. But in the meantime, until my next one-and-a-half hour drive out to Redlands, I'll probably continue to pick up some bottles of Hangar 24 Chocolate Porter (but I really hope they read this review and make some Chocolate Porter in nitro cans or nitro bottles). Enjoy, everybody!

TE Connectivity has managed to wire up another dividend. The Switzerland-based company has declared a payout of $0.25 per share for its current fiscal Q4 2013. This is to be dispensed on September 13 to shareholders of record as of August 30. That amount matches the firm's previous distribution, which was handed out in June. Prior to that, TE Connectivity paid $0.04 less, or $0.21 per share.
The just-declared dividend annualizes to an even $1.00 per share. That yields just over 2% at TE Connectivity's most recent closing stock price of $49.40.
The fresh distribution comes several weeks after the company posted encouraging Q3 results. For the quarter, it took in revenues of $3.45 billion, and netted $372 million ($0.88 per diluted share) on an adjusted basis. Both figures beat analyst estimates.

Nervous? No. Excited.
Your heart is pounding. Breaths, quick and shallow. Hands, shaky. Stomach, tight. Are you nervous or excited? What's the difference?
I choose excited. And it is a choice; one that you can consciously make. A very crucial choice. The physical signs are similar, if not exactly the same. Plus they both usually occur before an uncommon event, normally one with social implications or pressures. But the connotations? Opposite. Nervousness undoubtedly carries a negative connotation, apprehension about the perceived outcome. Excitement, on the other hand, denotes positive anticipation. Yeah, I think that's it: apprehension vs. anticipation.
So next time you have to give that big speech, want to talk to that cutie, ask your boss for a raise, take the game deciding free throw: Are you nervous? Nope. Excited. Go beast it.
