Bottle: Poured a clear golden color ale with a huge pure white creamy and foamy head with good lacing and retention. Aroma of citrus hops is quite dominant but also enjoyable. Taste is quite different from other beers Ive tasted before and can be describe like a wheat Indian ale. Dominant citrusy hops over a light wheat base beer. Very interesting concept that could have been even more interesting if the beer had been less dominant on hops.

Hazy orange/copper color. A few tiny bubbles streaming from the bottom of the glass. Thick off-white pillowy head. Good retention, and nice patches of lace left on the glass. Grassy, citrusy aroma. Malt flavor is a bit weak, then followed by a big amount of grassy, citursy hops. Very bitter. Malt character is lost. As mentioned before, very aspirin-like in the finish. Slightly warming, medium body. I think this malt/hop combo doesn't work as well as others, as this is somewhat overwhelming.

Pours a slightly cloudy golden orange color with about an inch of white head that leaves nice lacing behind.
Aroma is a nice mix of citrusy hops and caramel malts. Transitions nicely between the two.
Flavor is along the same lines as the scent. Spicy hit up front from the hops with a sweet caramel taste in the middle. Lasting hop bite and bitterness on the back of the tongue. Not sure where it is coming from (I no longer smoke) but I get a faint tobacco flavor also.
Medium body with average carbonation.
I only picked up one bomber of this during my travels but I don't think I would grab one over something else I like if I see it again. That tobacco flavor is getting stronger in the aftertaste. Am I the only one who noticed this?

music : arch enemy - "doomsday machine"
bomber for $5.79, working in manhattan isn't so bad sometimes.. I still don't get why you can't sell Stone brew here in jersey...goddamn laws...
slightly cloudy golden, ample carbonation, moderately sticky off white head, dissipates at a decent paste, nothing spectacular... nothing outwardly awfull
piney hops, citrus towards grapefruit.. yeah, amarillo hops, some of the alcohol is detectable if you really pry, not an explosively nice citrus smell like say 3Fs Gumballhead which is much more pleasant but this is nice enough, there is a slight dry moldy smell in there too, not sure how to mail the descrip on that aspect.. like the look it is not bad but not great.
taste etc..
the carbonation floats this one nicely across the bow of the mouth, some nice prickly sensation going on, not too bitter at all, but a nice little bitter after taste, there is a touch of cloying quality to this that makes me pucker on some sips... this takes away from the overall enjoyment. This isn't a hop monster but the ABV really does a courtsy in the stomach..I can feel that somnabitch warming my feet practically. Pretty light in the mouth and smooth, easy drinking.
nothing special for a 9th anniv beer... not bad but nothing I will go out of my way to ge again

This poured to a bright yellow and gold with a medium head that lasted fairly well. It left some nice lace too.
The smell is full of hops and nothing else. The taste is has a light malt profile but hops quickly take over. The mouthfeel is very sharp, while drinkability takes a hit for lack of balance although the alcohol remains hidden.
This kind of makes me think of an Arrogant Bastard without the hefty malt content. The hops could definitely use a stronger supporting cast.

3.43/5 rDev -10.7%
appearance: The pour creates a moderate, off white head in the snifter. The beer is a slightly hazy, pale copper/amber color.
smell: Up front there's a big resinous hoppiness and plenty of tropical fruit. Nice mango, pineapple, orange, and sugar cookie aromas. Hop oriented, but with enought malt to keep it interesting. Smells most like a DIPA to me.
mouthfeel: The carbonation smooth, between medium and low. The body is just slightly less than medium.
taste: The hops seem like the dominant flavor, but there is just enough light maltiness to keep them in good balance. All of the flavors are subtle, yet the combine to form a good flavor. The malt character is light. A green, leafy, resinous...yet well conserved...hop bitterness starts just after the swallow and continues into the dry finish.
drinkability: definately full of character, and drinkable
Enjoyed half a 22oz. courtesy of dirtylou during my visit in Madison. The other half of the bomber met with a less than noble fate.

Pours orange copper. Head is a thick and creamy white mass.
Smell is strongly of floral hops, lightly malty, fruit and spices.
Taste is dominated by grapfruit hop pineyness and spice character. Some balancing with sweet malt. Alcohol is present but it doesn't distract. Finish is quite dry with lingering bitter and orange flavor.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied and very carbonated.
Overall this brew makes me think of an APA. Quite full of citrus hop character. Stone is such a great brewery. However, I feel that this one is a bit sharp and one dimentional for my taste.

3.4/5 rDev -11.5%
Pours red and golden with an enormous dish soap head with small dots of lace on the glass.
Aroma of citrus, little bit of caramel and a perfumy, slightly soapy aroma.
Flavor of dark citrus, a little bit of dark malt and a hint of mediciney alochol.
Mouthfeel is sort of dry and somewhat abbreviated. Not unpleasant just rather bland.
Drinkability is very average. Easily the least attractive Stone brew that I've had. I'll chalk it up to being very young for the style but just doesn't seem to have the depth of character that I expect from Stone products.

3.33/5 rDev -13.3%
Appearance: Slightly cloudy, dark golden body. Ganormous fluffy off-white head, good retention, nice lacing.
Smell: Huge hop aroma, slightly grassy.
Taste: Lots of amarillo? hops up front. Light sweetness. Some bitterness, but not as much as I was expecting with the aroma. Not really that complex. The taste has one or two punches that don't really blend.
I'd give this a try. It's a tastes ok, and the hop flavor is interesting, but I'll probably not have another bomber.

On tap at Churchkey.
Pours a good looking bright tangerine color with a tiy bit of a brownish hue. Thin why'd head and some lacing. Nose brings forward some sweet caramel along with a bit of citrus rind. Taste is about he same without much sticking out. I would say this is past its prime. Feel is okay with a medium body and some carbonation to carry what flavors there are. Drinks okay, but I think this one is done.

9/2/2005 $6.19 22 oz. 7.80% September 2005 emblazoned on the front.
Pours a pale brown-gold, with roughly an inch of creamy white head that has some lasting power. Nice lacing upon settling.
Stone is known for their intense aromas, and this one doesn't fail to disappoint: smells like freshly juiced grapefruit, and pine essence, with a touch of fresh bread.
Fairly one dimensional at first, with mind numbing, palate killing intense hop (amarillo) bitterness. There is some sweetness towards the end, which is followed by a warming alcohol presence. Finish is long and dry, and not entirely pleasant. This is the same style as their famous Arrogant Bastard (the only Stone I don't like), and while this doesn't have the flavor of AB, I still don't like.

Had this one a long, long time. Figure I may as well drink it on a hot summer day.
Golden body. Finger of creamy white head.
Nose is a bit stale. Over-sweet malt and hops that once were...
Flavor is still pretty good. Strong but smooth. Marshmallow malt, light citrus, a little spiciness. Interesting blend of flavors.
Mouthfeel is solid, slick, low to moderate carb.
Overall, this is still a solid strong ale. I know that Stone was going for something lighter than their usual anniversary IPA with this one. They succeeded, but I wish I knew what it tasted like when fresh.

Poured from a bomber into a pint glass.
September 2005.
Pours a very clear, golden, copper color. Very fluffy, bright white colored head. Excellent head retention. Tons of sticky lacing, coating all sides of the glass. Good citrusy, hop smell combined with an even amount of malts. Hints of pepper, yeast and a slight biscuity smell. Taste mimics the smell, lots of hops and malts, followed by pepper and finishes very bitter. Medium bodied, smooth but leaves a funky grainy feeling in the mouth and on the teeth. Overall, not a bad beer, but my least favorite from Stone, so far. Hopefully their 10th anniversary ale will be much better.

Stone 9th Anniversary Ale is a little hard to classify. It's pretty much an IPA with wheat and just enough malt to edge it over into the strong ale style.
The pour is clear orange/gold with a creamy head. The noise is much like a big IPA with orange peel (not in the way witbiers use fresh and zesty orange peel), dried apricot and a pinch of herbs. The flavor is pretty much the same, although the apricot trumps the orange. The impending bitterness has a spicy bite and it gets an earthy, malty backing. The carbonation is solid and I didn't get nearly as much over-the-top alcohol flavor as some of the other reviewers. Balance was never one of Stone's goals, neither was keeping within traditional style guidelines and this one is no exception. I'll give them an "E" for effort right now. Hopefully the earthy, herbal flavors will calm down and mature with age.

Stone 9th anniversary Ale
Appearance- creamy nut brown with a decent creamy head.
Smell- alcohol, malt, and hops. In that order.
Taste- light smooth malt overpowered by alcohol. Strong grassy hops.
Overall- very bland very basic. Alcohol was too present. Won't buy again.

22oz Bomber.
Pours out a clear orange/yellow with a small, quickly evaporating head.
Aroma is fruity and piney.
Flavor is pine and grapefruit pith with some malty sweetness. Wheat is there, but barely detectable.
Grapefruity tingle on the finish. Kind of like a watered down Ruination.

On tap at Rattle N Hum earlier tonight.
Light orange, dense white head with good retention and lace. Nose has plenty of fruity oxidation, with golden raisins, plums,candy and a little citrus. Palate has a lot of oxidation with raisins, plum,cardboard and almost fatty, rancid mouthfeel. Flabby and loose, the finish is sweet with fruity oxidation. Medium in body with moderate carbonation , this decent.

Pours a mostly clear ornag color with a one inch frothy head that slowly settles to a thin spotty cap and thick ring, and leaves a very nice looking web of lace.
Smell; smells strongly hops with grapefruits and oranges, and some other fruits that I can't quite place (maybe apricots?). There's a pretty good malt presence in the nose to go along with the hops.
Taste; strong alcohol notes hit right away. Bitter hops with some sweet grapefruit and oranges following. This has a petty solid malt backbone to counter thos hops some. I just wish the alcohol didn't have such a pronounced presence in the flavor. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, and to syrupy for me, and the drinkability takes a big hit due to the alcohol taste.

22oz. bomber into a tulip, accompanied by some Vermont sharp.
Poured a very bright golden yellow.
Thick, frothy, white head. Nice lacing.
Moderate carbonation.
Very nice aroma of sweet malt and hops. Scent of grapefruit/citrus.
First taste has a suprisingly sweet citrus fruitiness to it.
There is somthing in there that tastes like bubblegum to me.
Strong bitter finish that sticks to the palate.
Kind of a roller coaster of a beer, at first sweet and a rather bitter finish making it a little confusing on my palate.
Strong flavors, not the most drinkable of beers, It tasted much better to me at the 9th festival. I don't think I could pound these all night long, but it has a very unique taste to it if you're in the mood for somthing different.

It looks good and smells good but it doesn't taste or sit in the mouth as well. It pours a cloudy yellow-orange with some sediment floating around beneath a small white head. The smell is dominated by the piney oily hops, I can feel the oils in my nose after a deep inhale. The taste is a little peppery and then a good bitter kick. The body is oily and it leaves a chalky residue on my teeth. I am a bit bummed from this beer; I thought it would be better. I just didn't like the chalky aftertaste, it really turned me off from this beer.

22 oz bottle date 9/05. Pours a yellow-orange with a big fluffy white head that lasts forever and laces the glass. The second pour from the bomber some yeast floaties.
The aroma is caramel malts with floral, grapefruity, piney hops. It's awesome at first (9), but as it warms it becomes more floral, peppery and medicinal.
The flavor is sweet malts followed by a large but rather subdued floral/grassy hop bitterness with notes of melon. As it warms, peppery medicinal alcohol comes out. The mouthfeel is smooth and velvety with a sticky bitterness.
Overall, it tastes like a decent mellow IPA. It reminds me some of Rogue's Brutal Bitter. As I go through the bomber, I like it less and less.

Updated 7:40 p.m. ET Tuesday
NFL owners and players resumed talks on Tuesday, as the two sides work toward a new labor agreement, NFL Network's Albert Breer reported. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that the meeting took place at a New York City hotel and included commissioner Roger Goodell, NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith, Chief Magistrate Judge Arthur Boylan and select players.
The two sides met last week in a Chicago suburb. The NFL and NFL players association released the following joint statement about those discussions:
"The parties met pursuant to court mediation. Owners and players were engaged in confidential discussions before Chief Magistrate Judge Boylan. The court has ordered continued confidentiality of the mediation sessions."
The U.S. Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments from both sides on June 3 in the league's appeal to Judge Susan Nelson's decision to end the lockout, which began March 11. Presiding Judge Kermit Bye urged the two sides to negotiate on their own and that their decision would be one that "neither side will like."
"I think it's fair to say anytime you have dialogue directly, that's going to lead to progress," Goodell told reporters last Friday. "I think we need more of that. As you've heard me say many times, I think this is going to be solved through bargaining, not through litigation. So (the Chicago meeting) was a positive sign for us."
The way we see it
While we don't know details about what was discussed or what progress was made, we can still conclude that this is a good sign. The judges want the two sides to get this done on their own, and it could benefit the owners and players to get a deal done before a decision is rendered. Keeping the talks secret also shows both sides are serious. These meetings need to continue.

Big, buzzy and cosmopolitan, Tabla in Hounslow is the best place in town to come for Indian fusion food, great people watching and stylish surrounds. Located on Hanworth Road, Tabla has a cavernous dining room which resonates with the lively good cheer of locals and curry-lovers alike. Each table is beautifully set with candles and modern glassware, and the room itself has a converted-warehouse vibe with its textured stone walls, mosaics, mezzanine level and comfy sofas. The bar serves up a stellar range of cocktails and wine, and the menu at Tabla includes favourites such as the lamb Rogan Josh cooked with Kashmiri spices, and the Goan fish curry simmered in spices and sweet coconut milk.

Simplify PCI data security compliance and more
For the insurance industry, a secure and robust managed file transfer solution is essential, but only practical if it is also easy to use.
The number of compliance regulations for insurance carriers governing data security, especially during file transfers, are onerous.
The Gramm-Leach Bliley Act (GLBA), Sarbanes-Oxley 404 and 409 (SOX), and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act all require insurance providers to have clearly outlined internal procedures that define how the integrity and security of private data will be maintained, including when those files are in transit.
In addition, health insurance companies must address additional issues:
OIG and State Anti-Fraud, Waste and Abuse Inspections:
Insurers for Medicare and Medicaid providers must have internally established guidelines and effective tools to maintain integrity and security of files in motion.
HIPAA and HITECH:
These daunting mandates aim to prevent data breach and its consequences while securing sensitive data as it is shared among insurance companies and healthcare providers.
GoAnywhere automates, simplifies, secures
GoAnywhere helps you ensure compliance by supporting all secure protocols including FTPS, SFTP, SCP, HTTPS, as well as popular encryption methods such as Open PGP and ZIP with AES encryption. In addition, the solution manages and automates file transfer processes originating from virtually any platform including Windows, Linux, IBM i, AIX, UNIX and Solaris.
Our managed file transfer solution makes it easy to manage projects like these:
|Securely streamline file transfer workflow and administration
|Automate and manage file transfers through a centralized solution
|Close inbound ports into your internal network and keep sensitive files out of the DMZ
|Control inter- and intra-company access to data, especially during transfer
|Maintain integrity and security of files-in-motion during transfer
|Transfer data in bulk for system migrations and ETL
|Exchange ACH and payment reconciliation data with banks
|Save money by centralizing processes that now run on different platforms and systems

(WMC-TV) - The mood is anything but cheery on Sunrise Street after two strangers sped away with the storm grates.
City crews put down replacements Monday, but people who live on Sunrise are upset.
"They're thieves. People can say they're scavengers ... They're thieves. They're nothing but a low down thief," said resident Jim Carter. "They knew what they were doing when they got here. They knew what they were doing was wrong."
It is three feet down into the sewer. If grates are not in place then someone could fall in and get seriously hurt.
Larry Turner saw a mini-van stop on one side of the street.
Two guys jumped out, stole the storm grates, jumped back in, pulled a u-turn, stole the other storm grates, and drove off.
But it is hardly unique. In October 2012 city officials said storm grates are stolen regularly with a cost between $150 to $300 apiece.
"It's a simple matter of they took the taxpayers money and thumbed their nose at us," said Turner. "We all say we work too hard for what little we got, we don't need anybody coming and borrowing it."
Turner filed a report with police over the phone. He says one guy was wearing a bright green "Blight Patrol" shirt. The BP was a group of ex-felons who teamed up on a mission to clean up Frayser.

Long are the days of flimsy, unsightly, waitress nails. Working in a restaurant, I thought I would never have beautiful nails. I do Now!!! MY nail tips are white, strong and growing fast everyday! A friend suggested I take it at night for better absorption, I am starting tonight. Just wanted everyone to know it has taken a month to see results ( 1 bottle). I am so incredibly happy with this product. Did I mention my hair is so thick now that I am beside myself!!! :) I am a happy customer.
Great product been using it for over six years

I have been using this product on and off for six years, it is a great product, Silica is good for the body and helps your nails and hair grow faster. It might have some benefits to your skin also. The hubner product seems to be the best one on the market that I have been able to find.
one of the best supplements you can buy!

I have taken this product for several years, minus a period when iherb stopped carrying (had to search another retailer). Happy it is available again. My girlfriend told me her Mom (in her sixties) had taken it for years and her hair was strong and healthy (she is African-American and hair can be very fragile). I believe in this brand. The purity and considered it fantastic for overall benefits. I also take with biotin supplement and the Neocell Super Collagen powder. A+++!!

In the corner of the Falls Wall directly above the Buoux Block is the climb. The lower section is hard to protect with the crux being getting to the large pocket and thus the flake. The flake above (easier) is very aestetic and takes a few good cams. Lieback on the flake as much as you want! The start I took is the feature on the far right that is shaded. The crux is getting to the big pocket (left of the tree) The flake is hidden in this pic but obvious from any other angle.
The bottom is tricky to protect. I used a large nut in a constricting crack/pocket. The upper flake takes some small to medium cams. Setting up an anchor is ploblematic. I used the bolts to the N with a good directional.

5 signs you may need a new credit card
You may find a better fit with a different card -- or discover that the rewards you're getting are no longer competitive.
This post comes from Jason Steele at partner site Credit.com.
Americans enjoy a highly competitive market for credit cards. In fact, though we find that there are few alternatives to many services, we complain that our mailboxes are stuffed with too many credit card offers.
At the same time, choosing a new credit card is not the most enjoyable activity, and many cardholders remain loyal to their cards for years rather than shop for a new one. But just as we will eventually have to retire our favorite T-shirt and our outdated electronic gadgets, there comes a time when you might want to add a different sort of credit card.
That said, there's a case for keeping the credit card you have open; the age of your credit accounts is part of your credit score, and that number affects your credit scores. (You can see two of your credit scores for free using the Credit Report Card.)
Here are five of the most important signs that you need a new credit card.
1. The card you have isn't even offered anymore.
Let's say that you go online to compare the benefits of your current card with others on the market, but the issuer no longer maintains a Web page marketing your card. That likely means that the card is no longer offered and has probably been replaced with a newer product.
Thankfully, the highly competitive market has created an environment where the new cards are almost always better than the older ones. For example, in early 2013 Discover replaced all of its consumer credit cards with a new card, Discover It, that combines most of the features of several previous cards. Existing cardholders have the option to retain their old products, but nearly all would be better off upgrading to a current version.
2. You are getting only a penny in rewards per dollar spent.
Credit card issuers and industry analysts argue all day about which rewards are worth the most. But one thing is for sure, a penny per dollar spent is no longer considered a competitive rate of return. Some cards offer 1.5 or 2 cents back on every dollar spent, but at the very least, cardholders should receive bonus rewards for purchases that they make regularly. Keep in mind that if you carry a balance month to month, a rewards credit card may not be your best bet.
3. You need a balance transfer offer.
You might have a competitive, up-to-date card, but you may still want to open a new account if you are carrying a balance. That is because there are many new cards that offer up to 18 months of interest-free financing on both new purchases and balance transfers. A new card with one of these offers can help out anyone paying interest at the standard rate, but they are especially valuable for those who have a balance on a card with higher-than-average interest rates.
4. There is a great sign-up bonus being offered.
Rewards credit card aficionados travel the world for nearly nothing by applying for credit cards that offer generous sign-up bonuses. But you don't have to be a dedicated hobbyist with grand travel plans to apply for a card with an exceptional sign-up bonus every now and then. During the past few years, several cards have been offered with sign-up bonuses worth $500 or more in cash back, points, or miles.
5. You are starting to travel internationally.
International travelers need a card that has a few features not found on most basic credit cards. First, they will want a card that has no foreign transaction fees. These fees are charged by most cards on any transaction processed outside of the U.S., and they are normally 3% of the amount charged. Fortunately, many card issuers such as PenFed, Capital One and Discover now waive these fees. In addition, other cards aimed at international travelers are now doing away with this fee as well.
Another feature travelers need to look for is an EMV smart chip. This small silver- or gold-colored square is visible on the front of the card and is necessary to ensure compatibility with the latest generation of credit card terminals being used in Europe and other parts of the world.

Reading is important for a number of reasons, for children who can't read they will struggle through their school lives. The problem goes far beyond school. Research shows that children who can't read are more likely to end up in the welfare system and 3 out of the 5 adults in the prison system in this country are illiterate. We talked with a research scientist and a local author about the importance of sitting down every day with your children and a good book.
Beckie Tau from Sioux Falls is now officially a published author and illustrator. The Little Ele-Funny is the first in what will be a series of children's books featuring Animals with Attitude. Beckie wanted to share her love for reading and writing with some of the children being treated at Avera Behavioral Health.
Beckie says, "Absolutely and I think they can relate to the characters and learn that what they are feeling is okay, it's normal and they aren't alone and maybe this can help with how and what they encounter in their lives."
Beckie wanted her books to also teach little life lessons, but scientists with the Avera Research Institute say what parents need to learn is the role reading plays in their child's development. It's never too early to start either.
Brad Uhing with the Avera Research Institute says, "The when and where isn't as important as what you should do when you are reading with them. Parents who are reading to their 6 month old and children one, two, three, four year olds need to practice dialogic reading. That's when you are talking to the child about the story not just reading with the child. You ask questions and let the child answer and expand on those ideas."
Children in those formative early years from preschool to kindergarten to 1st and 2nd grade are learning to read. Uhing says by the time they get to 3rd, 4th and 5th grade they are reading to learn and if they are behind in their reading skills the rest of their school career could be an uphill battle.
Uhing says, "Some studies show that children reading in those infant years do much better on intelligence tests and achievement tests. Can I say they are smarter? Well, you are born with intelligence but reading helps you academically."
While Elle the elephant and Beckie are teaching their listening audience that it's not nice to laugh at others just because they're different, Beckie is also subliminally teaching these children how a good book can make for a great experience when it's shared.
The experts say the more books you can get your hands on the better off your kids will be. It's easy to do that by visiting your local library. Residents in Minnehaha County (with exception to those in Dell Rapids) can get a free library card to any of the Siouxland libraries.

Krismo Sodi
Krismo was the most skilled and deadly member of the Kage Warriors, serving as their leader at the time of the Clone Wars. From atop a galloping milodon, he led his warriors through the subterranean caverns of Quarzite against the Belugan forces of Lord Otua Blank.
Asajj Ventress
An assassin trained in the ways of the dark side by Count Dooku, Asajj Ventress yearned to be considered a true Sith, but such status wasn't allowed under the Sith's Rule of Two. Ventress fought with twin red-bladed lightsabers, and clashed with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker many times. But her destiny would not lie with the Sith…
Boba Fett
With his customized Mandalorian armor, deadly weaponry, and silent demeanor, Boba Fett was one of the most feared bounty hunters in the galaxy. A genetic clone of his "father," bounty hunter Jango Fett, Boba learned combat and martial skills from a young age. Over the course of his career, which included contracts for the Empire and the criminal underworld, he became a legend.
Otua Blank
A disgustingly indulgent Belugan alien, Lord Otua Blank ruled the small planet of Quarzite with an iron fist. He marshaled an elite military force that protected his domain, but that weren't skilled enough to deal with the most elite of his enemies, the Kage warriors. Blank hired Boba Fett's crew of bounty hunters to protect a precious cargo delivery to his subterranean lair from the Kage marauders that prowled the underground.
A small, dense world whose inhospitable nature prevents it from truly flourishing as part of the galactic community, Quarzite avoided the battles that ravaged many planets during the Clone Wars. The world's surface is strained by incredibly strong atmospheric pressure that can crush starships and flatten beings. Underneath the surface, though, are immense crystalline cave networks of equalized pressure, where life can exist. For transit to and from the planet, an immense turbolift speeds people to an orbital space station. For travel beneath the surface, the locals rely on a subtram.
Kage Warriors
The crystalline caverns of Quarzite were home to an ongoing conflict between the powerful Belugans and the outnumbered Kage. The Belugans had wealth and technology on their side, but the Kage were a spirited and dedicated people. Their most powerful combatants pushed themselves to the utmost physical excellence, and Kage Warriors were tireless, elite fighters, nimble and stealthy, and effective with the electro sword or unarmed. Riding atop multi-legged milodons, they could keep pace with the subtram transports that supplied Blank's strongholds, and launch raids that caught the Belugan security forces off-guard.

'Kids' Stuff' or Good Entertainment?Opinion
Newsweek is the latest in a long line of articles to speculate as to why adults are increasingly drawn to children's literature. One opinion comes from Brand consultant Rebecca Hamblin, who attributes adult interest with childhood to a mixture of 'nostalgia' and 'unwillingness to accept responsibility and uncertainty about the future.'
"It's an easy way to hold onto things you feel secure about," she says. "You can escape into play."
maybe grown-ups like children's entertainment simply because it's better than their own. Since writers can't fall back on sex, romance or profanity, the storytelling has to be dramatic and clear. Critic Francis Spufford, who reread all his childhood favorites while writing his memoir, "The Child That Books Built," believes that kids' books fill a need for compelling stories currently missing in adult fiction. He blames modernism for encouraging experimentation at the expense of a sound narrative. "What's happening now is a return to the story in its strongest sense, to the primal excitement of wanting to know what happens next."

Reading's last trip to the Premier League lasted two years and was very fun, until their relegation. They were media darlings in their first year as a top-flight side, knocking off the Premier League's big boys with a lot of players that no one had ever heard of, including a 12-year-old babyfaced striker named Kevin Doyle. One year later, everything fell apart and they surprisingly went down. They've returned after a few years of exile in the Championship, better equipped to stick around for the long haul.
Unfortunately, this is a bad year to be a newly promoted side. There are usually a couple of teams that didn't deserve to stay up the previous season who stick around, and their awful form catches up with them. That's not the case this year, and Reading will actually have to be good to stay up. Fortunately for them, their defense is much better than those of Southampton, QPR and Wigan. They also went and bought a pretty darn good striker.
Pavel Pogrebnyak went to Fulham on loan from Stuttgart last year and played well, but the Cottagers couldn't match the wages that the Royals offered him. He signed for Reading on a free transfer and should be the best leader of a line among all of the teams battling relegation this season. He'll have an ample supply of adequate strike partners, but there are questions about whether or not he's going to get good service on a regular basis.
He might get some players to provide it before the close of the window, even if he doesn't have it now. Wealthy Russian businessman Anton Zingarevich recently bought the club, which was why they were able to out-bid others for Pogrebnyak's services. He's running Reading like a business and he's not about to write fat checks for players willy-nilly, but he's going to be a good owner by all accounts, and should recognize that he needs to open his wallet a bit more to ensure his team stays in the top flight.
Chris Gunter, Nicky Shorey and Adrian Mariappa are the new members of a defense that was the strongest in the Championship last season. Kaspars Gorkss has never played in the Premier League, but there's no reason to believe he isn't good enough to do so. Similar things can be said about Adam Federici, a keeper who finally got it together and started performing at a high level in his mid-20s. He's been one of the best keepers in the Championship for three years and should be able to make the step up.
Right now, Reading are a team full of rock-solid, but unspectacular Championship players with minimal to no Premier League experience. Their manager, Brian McDermott, hasn't made a trip to the top flight yet, but his team is well-drilled and the players seem to love him. Things are feeling a bit Norwichy here, aren't they?
Last year: 1st (nPower Championship); 27W 8D 11L.
This year: 17th, last team staying up
Key player(s): Pavel Pogrebnyak -- He's the best player on the team and he's going to have to create some goals from nothing for Reading to stay in the Premier League. He won't get top-notch service and Reading will be playing to draw pretty often, so don't expect anything outrageous, but his team could be staying up if he bags 12 league goals.

ADHD and IQ: The Effect of Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity on Intelligence
Your studies show that adults and children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD) often have high intelligence quotients (IQs), but they face challenges in school or life. Why?
The common wisdom used to be that if you have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD), you're not smart, and if you are smart, you can't have ADD/ADHD. Nonsense. I did a study of 157 adults -- all of them fully met diagnostic criteria for ADD/ADHD, and all had significant impairment in working memory and processing speed -- but they each had intelligence quotients (IQs) of 120 or above, or would fall into the top nine percent of the population. Many of these people had late diagnoses and weren't recognized as having ADD/ADHD problems until they were adults. They suffered a lot and often had difficulties in school before they received adequate treatment. All of them were demoralized and had given up. If they had been diagnosed earlier or had been in an environment where they were supported for their strengths and helped to recognize their limitations -- not given a lot of phony happy-talk -- their self-esteem would increase. Many people get put down so often that they develop defenses to protect themselves. Early diagnosis and treatment can mean so much in the arc of a person's life.

I've have had my Crescent Moon 9 shoes for several years now. The organization I work with has an assortment of Tubbs. I find the Crescent Moon is easier to get on, has more maneuverability in the woods and on hills, plus is more stable in icy conditions.
Since January, I have worn them almost everyday in all types of conditions. The Tubbs only seem to work better in deep powder which is a rarity in CT.

Because of this unique capture system, the binding translates the motion of your foot in every direction and makes the snowshoes by Crescent Moon highly responsive.

Summer Reading: Mutiny Gallery by Poet BK Fischer
June 28, 2012 at 12:08 pm , by Lauren Piro
It's summer time and the livin' is officially easy … doesn't a glass of lemonade (or chardonnay) outside on the porch with a great new book sound idyllic right about now? I can hear your sighs of relief already. We're sure you've got the drinks covered, but we'd like to recommend the read that accompanies you during your next moment of peace this season. BK Fischer is a poet from Sleepy Hollow, New York, and her novel-in-verse Mutiny Gallery is just the engrossing book you need. New to poetry? Fischer's thoughtfully crafted poems bring everyday life into a new, intriguing light—the perfect introduction to the genre.
We caught up with Fischer about the inspiration for the book, her life as a writer, and what to do if you feel like you want to be a poet … and you didn't know it. (Couldn't resist!)
Tell us a little bit about Mutiny Gallery. What was your inspiration?
Mutiny Gallery tells the story of a woman who leaves her suburban home and takes her 10-year-old son on a cross-country road trip, stopping at offbeat museums along the way. Two things inspired me to write the book. In 2007, I wrote a short play about a woman named Claire and her toddler son, Max, which was performed at the Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art in Peekskill, New York. When that production wrapped up, I was looking for a new project, and I wondered what would happen to those characters ten years later. At the same time, I picked up a book a friend had given me called Little Museums: Over 1000 Small (and Not-So-Small) American Showplaces, and I started to imagine Max and Claire visiting these strange places. Their visits to these museums began to tell the story of their experiences.
Readers new to poetry might be surprised to learn that your collection is actually a 'novel-in-verse,' a full story told through poetry. What makes poetry the best medium for this story?
I liked that telling the story through a series of poems allowed room for gaps—leaps in time, place, and emotion. Our lives are not usually one continuous story, but rather a series of memories, episodes, events, and intense moments (with long dull stretches in between). Lyric poetry is especially suited to conveying moments of extremity, fear, quest, and revelation, and for capturing the intensity of a stopping place in the mind.

Hundreds of members of a Marietta church descended on City Hall Wednesday to protest the taking of church property by eminent domain.Marietta officials want to expand Roswell Street, but in order to do that, they would need to take about 80 parking spots owned by a 70-year-old church. About 200 members of the Roswell Street Baptist Church showed up to protest the move. Church leaders say what the city wants to pay for the space is unfair."Now they want to just do a cash settlement for $365,000 and I've got an appraisal for $1.6 million," said Dr. Ernest Easley of the church. A motion was on Wednesday's City Council meeting agenda that would have condemned the church so that Marietta could take it by eminent domain. "I mean let's face it, that's a nasty word, especially when you talk about a city government and a church," said Easley.After they saw the hundreds of church members in attendance, the council took the eminent domain decision off the table for now, and instead voted to go into mediation with the church."My desire is to try to hammer this out, work with the church and let the church work with the city also and to try and find some common ground," said Marietta City Councilmember Anthony Coleman.The two sides have been arguing over the issue for nearly a decade."All we're asking is from the city, to be fair, you know, to give us a fair amount of money for the land that they're taking from us," said Easley.A professional mediator will be brought in to try to help reach a decision.

Decoupling of freight transport demand in the Western Balkans, 2000–2007
Additional information
The decoupling indicator is calculated as the ration of freight transport demand to GDP measured in 1990 US$ market prices. The bars depict the intensity of transport demand in the current year in relation to the intensity in the previous year. An index above 100 results from transport demand outpacing GDP growth (i.e. positive bar = no decoupling) whereas an index below 100 is explained by transport demand growing less rapidly than GDP (i.e. negative bar = decoupling).

People in Columbus are justifiably excited about the hiring of new head football coach Urban Meyer. From his time in Gainesville, Meyer is known as an excellent recruiter. And while he says he won't work at the level that drove him to health problems and a brief retirement, he'll still be expected to haul in blue-chip talents.
But Meyer only has about 60 days until signing day, so a large part of his first class will be comprised of what was left for him by Luke Fickell, Ohio State's interim coach.
And the group left by Fickell is pretty good. Currently, the Buckeyes have 16 verbal commitments. By Rivals' star rating, the class is 18th in the country, with a 3.3 average. That's also good for fourth in the Big Ten, behind Nebraska, Michigan and Wisconsin.
I'd personally place this class second in the Big Ten, behind only Michigan, as Nebraska has only eight commitments and Wisconsin only 12.
The class is headlined by defensive end Adolphus Washington of Cincinnati's Taft High School and running back Bri'Onte Dunn of Canton's Glenoak High. Washington is considered a solid commitment. Dunn is not, but Ohio State fans hope that Meyer's arrival will help to solidify his status.
Interestingly, Ohio State has only three commitments from out of state, and only one of those is from Florida -- a state Meyer once ruled in recruiting.
I'll chat with Along The Olentangy, SB Nation's excellent Ohio State blog today about Meyer's recruiting efforts. Look for that interview tomorrow.

UVM receives record number of applicationsThe Associated Press | May 12,2013BURLINGTON The University of Vermont says it received a record number of undergraduate applications 22,378 for fall enrollment this year.
That beat the record 22,365 for the fall of 2009.
Of this years applicants, 17,304 were accepted. Thats about 77 percent, which is roughly the same percentage as last year.
UVM administrators have said they want the percentage to drop to about 60 percent over the next few years, increasing the schools selectivity.

We are confident that the pieces we are putting into place to expand recruiting and marketing will achieve our strategic goals over the next four to five fiscal years, he said.
The states most selective school, Middlebury College, has accepted 19.5 percent of its 8,913 applicants.
A total of 2,144 Vermonters applied to UVM and 1,562, or 73 percent, were accepted.
May 1 is the deadline for students who have gotten in to commit to the school they plan to attend. The target for UVMs entering class is 2,425. Middleburys is 700.

Lafayette fire investigators determined that the fire originated on the exterior of the dwelling near the kitchen window. Evidence collected at the scene indicated that someone poured or splashed an accelerant on the exterior wall then set the fire. Louisiana State Fire Marshal's Arson Investigator assisted with an accelerant detection K9.
Additional information collected supports the possibility of the fire being set as retaliation. Officials continue to investigate to determine who may be responsible. If anyone has any information, please contact Crimestoppers at 232-TIPS or the Lafayette Fire Department, 291-8716.
Lafayette firefighters say the house fire at 610 Delord Street was intentionally set. Officials are now trying to determine who is responsible.
Shortly after 1:00 this morning, Lafayette firefighters responded to 610 Delord Street to a reported house fire. When emergency crews arrived, the single family dwelling was heavily involved in fire. Flames were coming from the front and side of the dwelling. Firefighters were able to get the fire under control within twenty minutes. The dwelling sustained heavy fire damage.The occupants of the dwelling were outside as firefighters arrived. They were awakened by the smoke and popping sounds. As they exited their bedrooms, they were confronted with heavy smoke. They managed to escape through the front door. Fortunately, no one was injured. Two dogs were lost in the fire.Fire investigators determined that the fire originated in the kitchen area of the dwelling. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

As humans and robots struggle to survive together, and sometimes against each other, on earth and in space, the future of both hangs in the balance. Here human men and women confront robots gone mad, telepathic robots, robot politicians, and vast robotic intelligences that may already secretly control the world. And both are asking the same questions: What is human? And is humanity obsolete?

"Forget the violence - Read this one for the humor"
I listened to this before I saw the movie. It's too bad that Will Smith is on the cover. Don't get it wrong, I love Will Smith and never miss any of his movies. He did a great job in the Movie. The problem is giving the movie the title of a great book and then turning the story up-side-down is an injustice.
I have to admit, until I heard a review of the movie on NPR I had never read any of Asimov's Fiction. Yes, he wrote GREAT Non-Fiction. Being a programmer I enjoyed the book. In fact I liked it so much I have listened to it three times and suspect there will be a fourth.
I recommend this book to anyone who likes technical detail with their SciFi Fiction. I am sure you will want to listen to it more than once. Oh, and I would rate this book G for Great for General Audiences.
"Thank you"
Thank you so much for publishing this classic, I Robot! I have been waiting the five years of my membership for this to happen! This is the first book I read as a child in elementary school.At that age I naively wrote Asimov a letter offering him $7 for the plans for the robot character. The mench he was, Azimov wrote me back appologizing for the plans not being his to sell. I Robot is the foudation of all science fiction robot behavior published in written or film form. I reccommend this audio rendition highly.
"Great Story - Great Job by the Reader"
I think the original cover would have been better suited, as the movie has very little in common with the book other than the title and some scant homage to the laws of robotics.
This is a classic example of 1950's science writing, though thankfully omitting the sensationalism pervasive in many of the SciFi short stories written in that time period. Considering that it was written when vacuum tubes had not been replaced by transistors, slide rules and paper were used to make calculations, and precision parts were turned out by human eye/hand coordination, the author's vision was still predictive in the ways that matter (although, unfortunately, we still haven't invented the positronic brain). It's amazing to me that the story, 57 years later, still has validity and raises issues that will continue to inspire musing about our future. Those who enjoyed this for what it is should also enjoy "Caves of Steel".
"Classic Book, Excellent Narration"
The book is a classic and if you haven't read it -- you won't be dissapointed with the picture of the future it paints.
The narration is excellent along with the audio quality.
The only minus -- it bears the image of Will Smith from the movie "I, Robot." The movie has 0.0% to do with the book, is the opposite of it in many ways with its hordes of killer robots. Dr. Asimov must be rolling in his grave.
"So many writers stand on Asimov's shoulders!!!"
That's right! I'm not saying you'll like it, just that if other writers have written more detailed stories, more exciting in your opinion... then I promise you one thing. Before they started WRITING, they READ Asimov. I love every word of this story, I read them first when I was a boy and they had an impact of how I saw the world. For the "bad" reviewers, I suggest you read a few hundred of the books that Asimov wrote and you'll have a better idea what this man was capable of. Great science fiction of course, great mysteries too, and yes! Great non-fiction, like the book that got me through Organic Chemistry. If you have not read Asimov, just pick one. Give it a whirl. I will bet you will glad that you did.
Thanks for taking the time to read this. Peace.
"Absolute Must Hear"
The Godfather of modern Science Fiction writes the Grandfather of all robot stories. Everything before was lacking in depth and everything after "borrowed" from this series. Asimov sets up rules of behavior for robots and a universe with a nearly unbreakable internal logic (only Asimov himself "bends" them with anything like impunity"). Other writers who have ignored the need for the Three Laws of Robotics have given us the Berserkers and the Borg and the like. Also good fiction; thus highlighting Asimov's genius in the first place! Enjoy!
"Great story, but it's NOT the movie"
Get this book if you're wanting a great story that explores the concepts of integrating robots into human society. If you're getting this book thinking that you'll get what you see on the silver screen, then pass it by because it has absolutely nothing to do with the movie...well, unless of course you count the robots. Otherwise, this book is written by Isaac Asimov and the movie is written by someone else.
This book takes you through the the concepts of how we could trust robots and how, through their obedience of the three laws, we could rely on them too much. It offers quite a few twists and turns.
I'm glad I finally got to read this book after so many years of just hearing about it.
Hello, I am an avid, when I have time, reader and have been with Audible since 2002. I have a vision problem which makes it hard to read books, so the audible format is a God Send!
"Great read."
The story starts out in the simplest of terms with the basic laws for robots, but quickly turns into complex thought provoking mind teaser. I loved the stories told by the lives of the characters and was sad for the book to end. The story starts simply but spirals up. Must read!
"A great book"
This is a great book and a good interpretation on audio.
Some comments have said it is disjointed. Well it would be because it is a collection of short stories rather than a novel. It should be heard as such and is the better for it.
As has been pointed out, there are no weapons and no wars. There is conflict but it is not overt and violent. This is a story written from the point of view of a robopsychologist and is about the psyche of robots. Asimov is not setting out to describe the building of a robot because the enabling technologies either didn't exist or were in their infancy. If you have just seen the movie and think this is more of the same - forget it. This is the original and best.
"Pleasure to listen to"
I had never read any of Asimov's books, despite having heard him as my college commencement speaker in the 70's. This book is really a collection of great short stories that is no less current now than when it was written. THis really is a pleasure to listent to. I wholeheartly agree with the other glowing reviews here.
"Great book, well read and at a bargain price."
Listening to this audiobook was a true pleasure. The classic sci fi tale of robots and the future of humanity has aged very well and many of the issues it rasies still feel contemporary. The book's structure is pure genius, taking several previously published short stories (some which feature on going characters & some which don't) and stiching them together with original work by means of a journalist conducting reseach. The stories are increasingly epic and complex, each one drawing the listener further into the world of the robots. This is also fascinating for any sci fan as it effectively documents the developement of the genre in the last century, from the simplistic and haunting stories of the pulp fiction anthologies (which make up most of the first half of the book) to the politicay complex novels that writers like Clark, Dick and of course Asimov went on to write.
On the production side the reader does an excellent job representing the different charatcers, both human and robotic!
This is a great production of a great book and at Audible's prices it's a total bargain, especially for subscribers. Get it now!
"Excellent stories, shame about the reader"
Isaac Asimov's robot stories are among the classics of science-fiction, and are a must-read (or must-listen) for anyone with any interest in SF. "I, Robot" is a compilation of some of the best, from among the earliest to among the latest, strung together with a linking narrative that fits them into their "historic" order -- from the first pet-like robots to the handing over of human government to the all-but-omniscient Machines.
The stories themselves easily rate five stars. Unfortunately, I've had to deduct a star because of this audiobook's reader, who manages to be flat and melodramatic simultaneously. He has little sense of dramatic tension, consistently emphasises the wrong words, and is unable to differentiate characters by giving them different voices. I suggest that prospective buyers listen carefully to the audio sample before making a decision.
Overall, though, I'm happy I bought this one.
Three simple rules that govern behaviours... and explore the consequences... listen, learn, discuss. Very enjoyable - a set of classic and linked short stories.
"Excellent story - but unexpected....."
Scott Brick is brilliant at reading and putting a futuristic ambience into a story and this one is no exception. If you are expecting a story of the film (starring Will Smith - which has been interpreted admirably in my opinion), be warned - as with classic stories, the book is not the same. Events are in a different order, the characters have different roles, it is not the same. But the story is a good 'un and should be read for its historic science-fiction interpretation, much the same as you would still want to watch Star Trek and yet love Next Generation. It has a great story and a lot of moralising issues, which is typical of Isaac Asminov. Excellent book - I would highly recommend if you like sci-fi (or even if you don't).
"A collection of exercises in logic"
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I see it more as a collection of short mystery stories than one whole book. Each chapter poses a problem, which requires working out what the problem is before a solution can be formed. Each time the solution is revealed it always makes sense. The movie version of this book, picks elements from in and around the book and merges them to form a single story that does not feature in the book.
"Really smart story and superbly narrated"
Really great read/listen. I'm sure many people will be happy that the film only takes inspiration from this book, the stroy told here is very different. It's basically a handful of short(ish) stories about the evolution of AI, each focussing on a specific time and problem encountered, linked together with an overriding story. Each of the four or five "flashbacks", for want of a better word, is really smart and introduces some excellent concepts.
Scott Brick's narration is excellent, demonstrating why he's won awards for narration. His "attempt" at a Scottish accent was a particular highlight.
"Thank You Mr Richardson"
Mr Richardson was my form tutor when I was eleven years of age and during what my school called "form period" he would read this book aloud to the class.
I have loved this book since then. A collection of short stories tracing the rise of robotics from the viewpoint of Dr Susan Calvin as she leaves her post to retire this may seem dated from the dates in the book but the concepts are still cutting edge.
Read reasonably the stories shine through on their own merit and stand the test of time. I would recommend this book to younger readers(9-15) as an introduction to the science fiction genre. Older readers may well enjoy this too!
If you have never read it then you should, this is, after all, a classic from a truly great author.
If only we had "The Rest Of The Robots" too!
"A great SF series of stories"
Lots of different robot stories all in some way connected in sequence, with mysteries to solve, usually explained (without giving the plots away) by the laws of robotics. Great to dip into. Enjoyable entertainment. A good introduction to some aspects of science fiction.
Great stories, immaculately read. A rare combination!
"I, Robot"
This is a really great story, and narrated about as well as I could imagine!
