Ag Spending Bill No Longer on House Legislative Agenda
Despite words of confidence from House Majority Leader Eric Cantor after the defeat of the farm bill - the annual ag spending budget has been pulled from the House calendar. The measure is no longer listed on House legislative notices regarding this week's floor schedule.
The Rules Committee was still scheduled to consider the bill Tuesday evening. That does leave a chance for floor action before the House adjourns for the Fourth of July recess.
House Ag Appropriations Subcommittee Chairman Robert Aderholt told reporters Tuesday that this week is still a possibility - but said "we're on standby."
House Ag Chair Frank Lucas was expected to object to some of the legislated spending provisions in the appropriations bill when the Rules Committee met. If Lucas were to insist on his points of order - it could force more cuts in the bill.

Chiropractors primarily use manipulation of the spine as a treatment. Such treatments trace back to ancient China, Greece and Egypt.[1] It gained popularity in the late 19th century, with the development of osteopathic and chiropractic medicine in North America.[2]
Spinal manipulation (SMT) became more popular in the 1980s.[3] It includes manipulation and massage to "adjust" the spine and related tissues,[4] and is a primary basis chiropractic.[5] Typically, it is performed on patients who have failed to respond to other forms of treatment.[6] The safety of manipulation, particularly on the cervical spine has been debated.[7] Adverse results, including death, are rare, with very low mortality rates.[8][9] Chiropractors may use exercise and other treatments and advice.[5]
Skilled, specific hands-on techniques, including manipulation and mobilization, are used to diagnose and treat soft tissues and joint structures, to reduce pain and to increase range of motion and general health.[10]
The approach is generally conservative, and treatment may include:
- manual procedures, including spinal or joint manipulation or mobilization, soft‐tissue and reflex techniques;
- exercise, and other active care;
- psychosocial aspects of patient management;
- patient education on spinal health, posture, nutrition and lifestyle modifications;
- emergency treatment and acute pain management;
- other supportive measures, including the use of back supports and orthotics;
- recognition of the limitations of chiropractic care, and of the need for referral to other health professionals.
Manual and manipulative therapy[edit]
The Chinese used such therapy more than 3000 years ago. Hippocrates also used such techniques[1] as did the ancient Egyptians and other cultures.
In the late 19th century in North America, therapies including osteopthic and chiropractic medicine became popular.[2] Spinal manipulation gained mainstream recognition during the 1980s.[3]
In this system, hands are used to manipulate, massage or otherwise influence the spine and related tissues.[4] It is the most common and primary intervention used in chiropractic care;[5]
The safety of manipulation, particularly on the cervical spine has been debated.[7] While injuries and deaths may be under-reported,[8] these are generally rare, with very low mortality rates.[9] Chiropractors may also use exercise and other conservative treatments and advice.[5]
Neuromusculoskeletal disorders[edit]
Treatment is usually for neck or low back pain and related disorders.[11]
Spinal manipulation appears effective for chronic low-back pain.[12] For acute low back pain, it is not as effective as other treatments such as painkillers.[13][14][15]
National guidelines vary; some recommend the therapy for those who do not improve with other treatment.[16] It may be effective for lumbar disc herniation with radiculopathy,[17][18] as effective as mobilization for neck pain,[19] some forms of headache,[20][21][22] and some extremity joint conditions. .[23][24] There is insufficient evidence for its use on other symptoms.[25][1].
While safety has been debated,[7] and serious injuries and deaths can occur and may be under-reported,[8] these are generally rare and spinal manipulation is relatively safe[13] when employed skillfully and appropriately.[9] It is regarded as a cost-effective treatment of musculoskeletal conditions when used alone or in combination with other treatment approaches.[26] Evidence supports the cost-effectiveness of using spinal manipulation for the treatment of sub-acute or chronic low back pain whereas the results for acute low back pain were inconsistent.[27]
Non-musculoskeletal disorders[edit]
The use of spinal manipulation for non-musculoskeletal is controversial. It has not been shown to be effective for asthma, headache, hypertension, or dysmenorrhea.[15] There is no scientific data that supports the use of SMT for idiopathic adolescent scoliosis.[28][29]
All treatments need a thorough medical history, diagnosis and plan of management. Chiropractors, must rule out contraindications to any treatments, including adverse events.
Relative contraindications, such as osteoporosis are conditions where increased risk is acceptable in some situations and where mobilization and soft-tissue techniques may be treatments of choice. Most contraindications apply to the manipulation of the affected region.[30]
Adverse events are believed to be under-reported [31] and appear to be more common following high velocity/ low amplitude manipulation than mobilization.[32] Mild, frequent and temporary adverse events occur in SMT which include temporary increase in pain, tenderness and stiffness.[7] These effects generally are reduced within 24–48 hours [33] Serious injuries and fatal consequences, especially to SM in the upper cervical region, can occur.[34] but are regarded as rare when spinal manipulation is employed skillfully and appropriately.[30]
The relationship to stroke has been debated. Stroke is statistically associated with both general practitioner and chiropractic services in persons under 45 years of age, and these associations may be related to preexisting conditions.[35][36][37] Weak to moderately strong evidence supports causation (as opposed to statistical association) between cervical manipulative therapy and vertebrobasilar artery stroke.[38] A 2012 review found that there is not enough evidence to support a strong association or no association between cervical manipulation and stroke.[39]
Spinal manipulation is generally regarded as cost-effective treatment of musculoskeletal conditions when used alone or in combination with other treatment approaches.[40] Evidence supports the cost-effectiveness of using spinal manipulation for the treatment of sub-acute or chronic low back pain whereas the results for acute low back pain were inconsistent.[27]

Adopting a Dog? Here's How to Prepare
Welcoming a dog into your home is a big decision, especially if you have a family. Caring for a pet involves a lot of commitment, and that's especially true for dogs. They generally need more space and attention than cats, and most will need to go outside to relieve themselves a couple times per day. If you've decided to adopt a dog, prepare your home and vehicle before picking up the pooch. Use this checklist to ensure that your pet has a safe and smooth transition to its new home.
- Crate or cage – While it's not a good idea to cage your animal for extended periods of time, having a place where it's safe and secure while you're cleaning the house or bringing in loads of groceries can be helpful. Make the crate a safe and comfortable place with bedding, and keep the door open whenever possible so your new pet can come and go as it pleases.
- Bed – If your dog won't be sleeping in its crate, make sure it has a place to lie down. Designating a comfortable sleeping area will make it easier to keep your pet off the furniture and out of your bed.
- Grooming supplies – While you may prefer to have most grooming done professionally, it's still a good idea to have dog shampoo, a brush and nail clippers on-hand just in case.
- Lint rollers – If you get a breed of dog that is prone to shedding, a lint roller can help keep your clothes fur-free.
- Vet – Before adopting a dog, it's a good idea to find a vet in the area, especially if you need advice choosing a breed or finding a place to get your pup.
- Food – Ask your vet what kind and how much food your dog should get daily, and stick to his or her recommendation. Many dogs will eat well past the point of being full, so you have to help enforce portion control. It's also a good idea to find out what kind of food your dog has been eating, and if you transition to a new one, do so slowly to avoid an upset stomach.
- Dishes – Get food and water dishes for your pup, plus a couple spares to keep in the car for when you travel or go to the park.
- Toys – Get a couple toys before you bring your dog home, then buy more based on what your pup likes. Having toys to play with will reduce the chance that your dog will start playing with your shoes or the furniture. A few good chew toys are essential when adopting a dog.
- Vaccines – Ask the shelter or breeder whether your dog has been vaccinated, and be sure to get documentation. If your pet needs additional shots, arrange a vaccination schedule with your vet.
- Spay and neuter – Unless you have a show dog, or plan to stud or breed your new pet, you should consider spaying or neutering. According the Animal Protective League, companion animal overpopulation is a problem, and reducing the risk of unexpected puppies is the responsible thing to do.
- I.D. tags and microchip – After picking up your new companion, make sure it gets an I.D. tag, or even better, a microchip implant.
When taking your new pet home for the first time, keep in mind that animals can cause a distraction in the car, especially if they're in a new environment. Make sure you're covered by affordable auto insurance, and if you're looking for a provider, compare auto insurance ratings between companies before choosing a policy.

Rams QB Sam Bradford will sit out Sunday's game at Dallas with a high left ankle sprain. A.J. Feeley will start in his place.
This will be Feeley's first start since 2007, when he played for the Eagles.
Bradford hurt his ankle late in the Week Six loss to Green Bay. After a sparkling rookie season, Bradford has struggled this year, throwing only three TD passes in five games and getting sacked 21 times as the Rams remain winless.
St. Louis also waived WR Nick Miller.
The way we see it
The loss of Bradford is a big blow to the Rams, even though the team has struggled mightily with him behind center. Feeley has thrown only five regular-season passes in the past four years, and considering he hasn't started a game since '07, he's bound to be rusty. The Cowboys will likely stack the box, daring the Rams to throw.
PFW fantasy spin
Feeley has no fantasy value as a short-term play against a middle-of-the-road Cowboys defense at defending opposing quarterbacks. They're allowing 260 yards and nearly two TDs per game to the position. That's not much upside to warrant picking up a backup and playing him. Don't even consider it.
Look for the Rams to stress the run with RBs Steven Jackson and Cadillac Williams. Jackson is obviously the top option but at this stage in his career he'll need someone to spell him more often. Despite the fact the Rams will have to lean on the run, the rush defense is the Cowboys' strength. They're allowing only 104.3 offensive yards and 0.3 TDs per game over the last three to the QB position. Jackson makes a flex position back, and Williams is, at best, an injury fill-in this week.
The receivers won't take a hit as Bradford has been woeful, and it can't get any worse for fantasy owners with Feeley under center. The only wideout worth consideration to post above-average fantasy points would be Brandon Lloyd as a No. 3 or flex receiver since he knows the offense inside-out. Danario Alexander sees targets but not many receptions as a deep threat, so he'll be hit-or-miss, and I would look to keep him on the bench. Brandon Gibson has not improved all season, and with Lloyd in town, his starter numbers could be affected. Keep him on the bench and watch him. However, slot receiver Greg Salas has value in PPR leagues as the team may be forced to play catch-up if it falls behind too quickly.

child's body, semi dismembered
on the 25th day of december
santa brought him so much more
than that toy car he'd always adored
Chainsaw ripping through veins
followed shortly by painful anal rape
fisted with his own fucking arm
the battered child screams out in alarm.
blood and feces on his chin
hear those fucking jingle bells ring!
overcome by a sickening feeling
body writhes in agonizing disgust
within minutes you find yourself kneeling
puking up the contents of your anus.
excruciating constipation
Internal mutilation
Warm shit engulfs your throat
suffocating your body falls
face down in your own excretion.
haunting addiction building tension
habitual routine, nautious cravings
I sit down patiently and grind your bones to dust
and smoke the product, until it turns my brains to pus.
Inhale, exhale
inhale, mind fails.
the stench of bone and marrow
makes me spasm and wretch
the powdered mutilate
fucking nauseates.
Surrounded by entrails
skin is soaked in blood
ripping up the bodies
took longer than it should've
hair made into carpet
bones made into chairs
skin turned into curtains
guts hang like chandeliers
remaining bodily fluids drained
and used for lava lamps
not a limb discarded
not even feet or hands
furniture made from bodies
lie around my home
but the genitals i save
for the bedroom
I am the thing that scares you
what troubles your restless soul
I prey upon your children
for to devour them whole
infants killed then ingested
taste of flesh pleases my palette
what's that? you would like a balloon?
but you can't hold it without any hands
hacked up, severed dismembered
guts spilling and strewn on the floor
the taste of young meat is so damn pleasing
it leaves me gasping for more

Kingfisher, Kingfisher Readers, 2013
Level1 Beginning to Read
Grades K-1
Nonfiction early reader
"Buzz! What is that? It is a bee!"
The introduction to this early nonfiction reader is followed by a large photograph of a bee, designed, to catch the reader's interest. The text continues with interesting bee facts like why it buzzes, why they fly from flower to flower, the life cycle, and where they live, along with other bee details. The final page reviews the information and back matter in this 32 page book includes a glossary.
This book is a wonderful way to introduce nonfiction to beginning readers and gets a jump start on the Common Core need to include informational texts in the curriculum. The set goes up to Level 5, but Busy as a Bee is a great way to start young readers with nonfiction.
After reading the book, list the facts the reader learned about bees. Then read about ants, another animal living in a community. Write down the ant facts, and then make a chart to compare some of the ways they are alike and different.
National Geographic has good ant information.
KidsKonnect has more ant facts.
National Science Standard: organisms and their environment
Common Core: Ask and answer questions about key details (RI.1.1); identify the main topic and recall key details of a text (RI.1.2)

Himalayan Bamboo
A complex union of bamboo foliage and rich green florals. The subtle character of this fragrance is calming rather than overwhelming, so it is well suited for a high-end or aroma-therapy line - where a room filling, not house filling fragrance is desired.
- Beautiful scent overall, not what I was expecting
Wonderful scent, though not much of a hot throw. A more appropriate name for this scent would be "Cool Honeydew"
- Awesome!
IGI 4627 and IGI 4630
 10% Fragrance
 Very good hot throw.
- Wish it was stronger
Only 4 stars because I wish it was stronger. I LOVE this fragrance and it is the perfect bamboo, not too much "cut grass" smell. Very subtle and soothing smell, just wish it was more potent.
- Immediately one of my Faves!
Got it as a sample and I love it. I'm not big on floral scents and was surprised to hear someone refer to it that way. Very relaxing scent. Used in Paraffin 4627 Comfort Blend and has a nice hot throw.
- Clean and Fresh
Bought the sample size, and it smelled "green" with a floral note at the end. Used in GB 464, and everyone that smelled it really liked it. Has a nice floral cold throw (don't know where the green scent went) but is not giving a strong hot throw. Seems good for a bathroom, or somewhere that doesn't require a lot of scent. Overall, fresh and pleasant.
- Great scent
I really like this scent. Reminiscent of a clean bamboo forest.
- Very nice!
This smells like a mix of honeydew and bamboo scent. Clean and a bit floral. I like it very much!
- like it
I primarily make body products and room sprays with this. Nice clean fresh. almost like a real cucumber fresh smell. really like it and so do customers.
- Nice smell, medium scent throw.
A refreshing and pleasant aroma and a good but not great scent throw.
- Wish I could give it 6 stars
This one is simply amazing. It has the most beautiful scent. I did a festival this weekend and people went nuts over this one! I only had made a sample bottle..wish I had more.
- yuck
smells like grass with a coffee after tone did not like at all
- Lovely fragrance - one of my best sellers
Great fragrance, subtle yet very pleasing. Most customers that smell this one describe it as "lovely". Great cold and hot throw. Great for anyone that is interested in an aromotheraphy type of fragrance to their line.

God of War: Ascension single-player, release date appear
Kratos returns on PS3 with some new toys.
At Sony's E3 2012 press briefing, Sony Santa Monica director Todd Papy walked on stage to show God of War: Ascension's single-player footage for the first time.
While the game takes place early in the God of War timeline, and Papy has said in the past that Kratos won't be quite as angry in this game as he has been in many other God of War titles, the footage on display looks in-line with what we've come to expect, with an angry Kratos, brutal battles, quicktime events, etc.
New this time around: Kratos earns the ability to rebuild broken structures and slow down time, which may remind some of the Amulet of the Fates in God of War II and seems like it will play into the game's puzzles.
Also new: a spear that Kratos can throw at enemies, which seems similar to the Arms of Sparta in God of War: Ghost of Sparta, and a magic pound where Kratos sticks his blades into the ground to clear space.
At the end of the presentation, Papy revealed a release date for the game: March 12, 2013.

Rapid Renewal Service Details
How Does the Rapid Renewal Service work?
The Rapid Renewal Service is designed to be a seamless web transaction for citizens who renew their vehicle registrations online. Behind the scenes the Rapid Renewal Service is a complex system that simultaneously checks data held by the State of Maine and data that is supplied to the system by your municipality. Without the data supplied from your municipality, a vehicle cannot be registered online. Rapid Renewal relies on the municipal Motor Vehicle Registration data, especially the excise tax information that your municipality provides to the system each month. The following description explains how the Rapid Renewal Service works both on the user's scenes and behind the screens.
Locating the Record
The first step for the citizen is to identify the user's vehicle from the from the 1.4 million records in the Bureau of Motor Vehicle database and the Motor Vehicle Records uploaded to the Rapid Renewal Service site by a member of your staff. To identify the vehicle, RRS asks for the following pieces of information from the user:
Change of Address
A citizen can easily update a registration record with change of address information for address changes within the same town.
Mail To
The Rapid Renewal Service provides the option of either mailing the renewed registration to the address printed on their registration or to another address.
Collecting Insurance Information
Once a vehicle has been located in the system and the user has confirmed that the full registration record is correct, the user is asked to supply insurance information. Users select their insurance carrier from the list of registered insurance providers in the State of Maine.
Mileage Information
The user is asked to provide mileage information and the Rapid Renewal Service does a check to ensure that the mileage is greater than the mileage reported last year.
Paying the Excise Tax
The user is presented with a page listing the various fees including excise tax amount, registration fee and agent fee. The excise tax amount is taken directly from the data supplied by the municipality.
Once the user has agreed to pay the Excise Tax and Fees, the user will be asked to provide payment information. Each municipality chooses what payment types to offer- Credit Card and/or E-Checks. Please note that you do not have to offer credit cards in other areas of your municipal business to be offering credit cards on line. The Rapid Renewal Service does not hold credit card or e-check information beyond the transaction session.
Once the payment has been authorized, the Rapid Renewal Service provides the user with a confirmation page detailing the transaction.
E-mail reminder

By ERIK SCHELZIGAssociated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Republican Governor Bill Haslam's annual spending proposal calls for raises for state employees, more spending on construction on college campuses and tax cuts on food and inheritance.
The governor's $31.08 billion proposal relies on rebounding revenues to avoid more drastic cuts the state would have faced otherwise.
But Haslam is still calling for eliminating nearly 1,200 state jobs. Those cuts would leave the state with just shy of 44,000 employees - or about 6,000 fewer than in 2008.
Meanwhile, the governor wants to raise the salaries of remaining state workers by 2.5%.
Haslam is also proposing a $335 million increase in construction and building maintenance spending at the state's colleges and universities.
The governor says his proposals reflect his aim to deliver effective but low-cost services to Tennesseans.

MONTAGNARD IMPORTS is currently West Virginia's largest volume importer of French wines from Savoie. Savoie is a province in the beautiful Alpine region of France. Mont Blanc — the highest point in Europe — is in Savoie. For generations, Savoie has been known for its beautiful terrain, lakes, and mountain landscapes that delight fishermen, boaters, hikers and skiers alike. MONTAGNARD IMPORTS ("Montagnard" means Mountaineer) wants people in the United States to add "good wine," "good food," and "good times" to this list of attributes.
"Savoyards" are hardy, rugged and independent — which are some of the qualities we associate with being a Mountaineer. But, most of all they are convivial and friendly — definitely Mountaineer traits! And what better way to make friends than over a bottle of fine wine, and a table of good food!
And so, MONTAGNARD IMPORTS is proud to introduce five fabulous French Mountain Wines to the Mountaineers of the Mountain State. These wines were personally selected following extensive research which led us to two vineyards whose experience and tradition go back multiple generations: the Domaine Pascal & Annick Quenard and the Domaine Edmond Jacquin. This selection is locally imported directly from the vineyards for your enjoyment.
Enjoy these unique, distinctive wines at your next dinner, tailgate, reunion, or family gathering:
Allow Montagnard Imports to bring you a taste of the French Alps while never having to leave the great State of West Virginia!

Served at the 150th birthday party of three prominent local beer industry professionals, held at the Horse Brass Pub. Not sure when this keg was brewed, the only disclosure was that it was stored up for this special occasion. Billed as "TG Tripel IPA" on the specials list.
Pours fairly foamy (I think I got one of the first beers from the keg), with a body that comes in somewhere between orange and golden. The head, huge at first due to a long-lingering keg, subsides gradually to a pretty ring around the top of the beer. Nose is the requisite TG hoppiness, accompanied by some faint esters from the Belgian yeast. Palate is more or less that of TG IPA, although the hops are a bit muted. Some sweet, fairly tart fruity notes come through mid-palate, with just a hint of some spiciness from the Belgian yeast on the finish. Body is nice and robust, with just a touch of syrupy sweetness that you'd expect from a tripel. Overall, a tasty beer, and surprisingly refreshing on a summer day.

This was a new brewing so cannot be directly compared with previous reviews, but I can concur that the naming might be confusing, for sure it bore no resemblance to the Belgian Tripel that the name might suggest. Getting past that slight hiccup, this is an intense, richly flavoured strong IPA, but not even that totally. Appearance is a dark red mahogany, nose was largely malt sweetness with some citrus rinds in the background. Flavour not particularly sweet, but dark caramel appears. I would not say excessive hops here. An interesting, intense, slightly sweet strong ale.

From a growler fresh from the brewery! Initial pour showed a nice white foamy head, which quickly dissipated to thin haze atop the beer. The beer has a nice orange color to it and is very translucent. Flavor has a nice clean balance to it. Seems very difficult, and probably very dangerous, and to taste the powerful 9.5% alcohol content. Seems like a good session beer to enjoy year round. Highly recommended from this BA member.

On tap at Oregon Brewer's dinner.
A - Poured a hazy copper-gold, with 2 fingers of white head. Dissipates slow and left beautiful lacing.
S/T - Honey, flowers, bananas, and citrus hops.
M - Light bodied, hop dominated, thin, and sweet.
D - Not bad. Would recommend adding crystal malts and letting this one fully attenuate to reduce the hop dominance of this tripel.

Tasted at the 2002 Oregon Brewers Festival. Orange gold color. A full-bodied triple. Malty and hoppy. Rich flavor, although very strong. Aged in oak and it taste like it. Rich mellow oak tannins. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and crisp and slightly dry. Aftertaste is bitter. No alcohol bite despite 8.4% alcohol. Interesting beer.

Right upfront, I liked this beer, but it is not a typical example of the style. Served in a pint goblet. Poured a light mahogany color, with 3/4 inch of of off-white head that had good retention and OK lacing.
The aroma was sweet and malty, like a strong ale, but nothing like a Trippel. The taste was also very good, but also not to style. The flavors were rich and malty with a noticeable alcohol flavor.
The body was full and smooth, but again, not to style. Drinkability was very good, compared to the style not what's expected, but an enjoyable, easy, smooth drinking brew.

I had a four ounce sample at the 2007 Oregon Brewers Festival. It was billed as a "Belgium-style Tipel" so I made it the first beer sampled among the 70 or so available at the festival. I and my drinking buddy were sorely disappointed. It was more of a tripple IPA that was so hopped up that it sucked the joy out of my mouth. Of the 42 beer sampled during our visit to the festival it received our worst rating.
A: It was a bright gold with a tinge of orange. An abundant head that quickly disappeared leaving no lacing (not necessarily the fault of the beer given the plastic mugs used to serve beer at the festival).
S: It smelled of freshly mowed grass...very green and hoppy. I could detect (barely) a hint of malty sweetness. But it was buried under the mountain of hops.
T: If a beer could suck the life out of your mouth this one accomplished the task. The bitterness of the hops left a bitter residue that took severely of the following beers to wash from my mouth. The bite was definitely worse that the bark! I'm not a hop head...if I were this might be the beer for me...I have a friend that swears by TGs products and he cannot get enough IBUs crammed into his brews.
M: Ouch. But for the cool liquid I would say this was as close to a dry white wine as any beer I have every experienced. Thin and aggressively carbonated. It was like drinking a sour green apple fizzy.
D: Never again.
Comment: I rarely drinky beers with and IBU above 30 so my review is tainted by my timid palate. My main problem was the advertisement of this beer as a Belgium style Tripel...it was anything but a Tripel...except possibly a Tripple Hop Extravaganza. If you love the flavor of hops, bitter beer or a beer that bites you from the first to last sip...this beer is for you.
Orange gold color. A full-bodied triple. Malty and hoppy. Rich flavor, although very strong. Aged in oak and it taste like it. Rich mellow oak tannins. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and crisp and slightly dry. Aftertaste is bitter. No alcohol bite despite 8.4% alcohol. Interesting beer.

Yes, the spelling is correct. Though the name suggests the possibility of this being a Belgian-style tripel, the brew bears little resemblance to historic Belgian styles. Consequently the Americanized spelling of Triple is honest for partially curtailing any such expectations.
This beer is luminous spun gold. It is clear with a spotty head and well-intentioned lace. There is very little carbonation just a few confused bubbles. The mouthfeel is like dry paper.
Regardless of any intended style comparisons, TGs Triple is not an especially strong beer. No, let me rephrase that; its not an especially good beer. Its actually quite strong, though it seems that every batch has a different ABV rating. Mine, in October 04, was 9.3%. Triple has a light fruity aroma, but I otherwise found it tart and confused with hints of apple pectins and bacterial infringement. At times it was downright cloying. The substantial alcohol content detracted from the potential of the malt environment, turning this into a complex and elegant American malt liquor.
Triple is harsh and otherwise lacks definition. Terminal Gravity produces some world-class beers, but this is not one of them.

A mother who lost her 6-year-old daughter in the Sandy Hook Elementary shootings last December visited in Raleigh Friday to share her story.
Nelba Marquez-Greene's daughter, Ana, died in the tragedy Dec. 14 in Newtown, Conn.
Marquez-Greene said that since the tragedy, she has focused her efforts on her surviving son who was also in the school at the time, and on her nonprofit, the Sandy Hook Promise, which is dedicated to mental health issues and lobbying legislators on what she calls "middle ground" gun laws.
"The reality is no one wants to put their children on a bus send them to school and not get them back, so the middle ground starts with safety for Americans," she said.
Marquez-Greene was a mental health care provider before Ana's death, and said she continues to lobby for compassionate care for people with mental illness.
Ana Marquez-Greene was one of 26 people to die in the shootings at the school.

News: Lil Wayne Says My President Is Black, "Republicans Are Never Going To Like Us"
Wednesday, Sep 14, 2011 2:00PM
Grammy-winning rapper Lil Wayne has shown off a political side by sharing his thoughts on the conservative side of government.
Rathern than keeping an upbeat outlook, Weezy said Republicans will never fully embrace Democrats.
"You learn from what the right-wing is doing and you take something from it," Wayne tells VIBE. "I feel like as a people the most that we can do is better ourselves and learn. Then look at yourself and ask 'Am I the person they're talking about or am I not?' You have to make the most of who you are because the Republicans are never going to like us." (VIBE)
He also co-signed the notion of having an African American president plays into the negative conservative attitude.
Wayne added that the right-wings' at times blatant disrespect of the oval office has more to do with Obama's racial make-up than his policies. He admits that while he understands the criticism over the President's handling of the economy, he says some of the talk has gone beyond politics. "I don't think I have to say that for everybody to know that," Wayne says. (VIBE)
A few months ago, Grammy-winning rapper Lupe Fiasco called President Barack Obama the nation's biggest terrorist.
"In my fight against terrorism, to me, the biggest terrorist is Obama in the United States of America," Fiasco said in an interview. "For me, I'm trying to fight the terrorism that's actually causing the other forms of terrorism. The root cause of the terrorism is the stuff that you as a government allow to happen and the foreign policies that we have in place in different countries that inspire people to become terrorists. And it's easy for us because it's really just some oil, which we can really get on our own." (CBS News)
Earlier this summer, rapper Jay-Z gave his assessment on how Barack has done as the country's leader as of late.
Speaking to a small room of music journalists just hours before the Labor Department released its monthly jobs report, which found national unemployment numbers rising to 9.2 percent in the month of June, Jay-Z said of the criticism, "He's the president, it's fair." "You gotta fix [the country's current climate]," Jay-Z continued. "Can't fix it all in one day. Numbers don't lie, it's f*cked up out there. Unemployment is still high." Jay-Z then proceeded to joke about how Obama should have allowed him to deliver the news of Osama Bin Laden's death on May 1. Acting as if he were speaking at a press conference, Jay-Z adopted the accent of a street tough and said, "He was a threat, you know what I mean? We handled that." He delivered the line and laughed. (Billboard)

This just started today. I have to turn the knob in order for the latch to retract. Before, I could just push to door shut and the latch would retract when it hit the plate on the door frame. But now it just hits hard against it. Other than that, the door knob works perfect.
Why does my latch not retract when I push or swing the door shut, but will retract when the knob/lever is used?
This is going to drive me nuts because I can't think of what the proper name for this is, but your door latch probably has an extra piece (I'll call it a pin) that sticks out. When the door is open, this pin and the latch should move together if you push the latch in or turn the knob. However, when the door is closed, the door latch goes into the striker plate but the pin remains retracted. What this does is disables the spring loaded mechanism to retract the latch, preventing someone from using the credit card trick to open the door from the outside, so the only way to open the door is by unlocking it and turning the knob. In other words, it's for security.
My guess, assuming this is an external locking door, is that this pin is either jammed or some of the internal mechanisms that it activates have jammed. You can unscrew the door knob and remove both sides, then unscrew the latch and pull it out of the door. From there, try some lubricant (silicone spray and graphite powder are my preferred lubricants for locks, WD-40 will quickly dry and attract dirt). And if it still doesn't work, it's probably time to go to the store to pickup a new doorknob.
The answer provided by @BMitch is good, but here's another suggestion:
Check to see that the plate on the door frame is actually making contact with the angled part of the latch.
It's possible that due to thermal expansion or contraction of the door or frame, the plate is now striking the latch on the non-angled part causing it not to retract.
The exact same thing happened to us last week. We called Schlage, the manufacturer, and they said that part of the internal mechanism was broken. Because they warranty the mechanism for life, they sent us a new mechanism with instructions on how to install it. It arrived just a few days later, and installing it was a simple task. Now we can just push the door shut again without having to turn the knob.
The part you are refering to is a hardened pin designed to prevent someone from cutting the latch with a hacksaw to gain entry. It is a part of the backset mechanisim. The backset will need to be replaced. Most are lifetime guaranteed for mechanical defect, and commonly replaced by the manufacturer, or purchased at most building supply stores. I work in such a place on Vancouver Island in Canada. This is a very common problem, with a very easy remedy.

Dawson Community College freshman Debbie Schendel is the Mon-Dak conference volleyball player of the week. The 5' 7 outside hitter out of Great Falls, Montana is in her first year with the Buccaneer program and was recognized for the second time after another stand-out week of play for the Bucs.
In four matches last week she had 26 kills, 49 digs, 20 aces, and 3 blocks. Her serving efficiency was 92% and passing 98%. When Schendel commented on her second nomination in four weeks after the Dig Pink-beat cancer match against Williston State Tuesday all she could say was "yeah buddy!".
"I'm thrilled," said coach John Marble "DCC players have earned player of the week honors 3 of the previous 5 weeks."
Marble said Schendel's honor is well deserved. "Debbie is a multi-dimensional player. She put together great stats both offensively and defensively last week making a volleyball program highlight." Volleyball is in its third year under Marble's direction at Dawson Community College.

A beautiful exhibit of the real American West - a life that few will ever see up close. This book illustrates a brief two-day roundup in Utah. Being a real cowboy is hard work - and it shows!
