Rental-inspection decision postponed
Hours of testimony in Ventura
A Ventura County judge has denied a request to overturn a months-old Ventura County Board of Education decision that allowed several families to transfer their children out of Fillmore schools.
The Fillmore Unified School District board had asked the judge to set aside the June 2007 decision, filing suit in Ventura County Superior Court. A hearing was held in October.
Attorneys Henry Kraft, representing the county board, and Barbara Macri-Ortiz, representing the families, argued that the case was moot because the students finished the 2007-08 school year months ago. All have remained in schools outside the Fillmore district.
Superior Court Judge Ken Riley agreed, writing in his order that "having made their decisions about what schools to attend, the students are presumably in the middle of their second full year of classes."
Fillmore Unified Superintendent Jeff Sweeney said his district was more concerned with the court's interpretation of state law and whether the interdistrict transfer policy met its requirements. It's an ongoing issue because both Fillmore and the county board continue to still rule on transfer requests and appeals.
But Riley declined to provide "an advisory opinion" on the district's ability to limit the number of students transferring out of Fillmore schools. Because of that, Sweeney said, "we're going to continue to follow our current policy." The policy balances parental and district rights, he said.
The district denied about 30 percent of its 2007-08 interdistrict transfer requests, and more than a dozen Fillmore families appealed those denials to the county board.
In June 2007, the county board ruled that Fillmore's decision-making process was flawed and that the families should be able to send their children to public schools outside the district.
State law allows Fillmore and other districts with fewer than 50,000 students to limit transfers to 3 percent of overall enrollment. Fillmore adopted that policy in 2006 and used it as a basis for its denials, which the district said was based on advice from the Ventura County Office of Education.
The county board at first upheld Fillmore's decisions but changed its position after receiving legal advice that the limit should not be applied to multiyear transfers involving child care issues, parents who work for other school districts or students already attending other districts under previously granted transfers. Many of the Fillmore parents who appealed to the county board said their requests fit those exemption criteria. Fillmore school officials disagreed, saying the 3 percent cap applies to all requests and that they will continue with that policy .
Ventura County trustees said at a meeting Monday night that they want to work with Fillmore officials to resolve the issue for possible future transfer appeals . The Fillmore board is scheduled to meet next week and is likely will to discuss the court ruling at that time.

Brebbia began manufacturing pipes in 1953 in Italy and produces nearly 35,000 air cured briar pipes annually. The company was initially the result of a partnership between that of Brebbia founder Enea Buzzi and Achille Savinelli of Savinelli pipes. Brebbia continues a 60 year tradition of pipe making, using machine lathes for the early stages of the pipe production while finishing each piece by hand.
The shapes are modified Italian classics, and are often smooth, sandblasted in a tumbler, or wire-wheel rusticated. Some of the stems are hand cut from cumberland rod, but the majority are preform vulcanite or acrylic bits, and all tenons are a Brebbia-designed inserted tenon - which often fit a sleeved mortise.
71 Brebbia pipes in this category, 3 new.

LAUREL COUNTY, Ky. —
Good friend, Les Crandall from Montgomery County stopped by last weekend to give me a hefty bag of chunky bluegill fillets and giddily showed me photographs of several big bass he had caught and released back into Cedar Creek Lake there in Lincoln County.
Les had called earlier in the week to try and get me to make the fishing trip with him but I begged off because my left arm is still not up to cranking a reel handle, and any attempts I might make to bait a hook would be laughable. The stroke I had in March, combined with complications caused by Parkinson's Disease, have put a serious hitch in my ability to pursue the fishing habit.
The only pleasure I get out of fishing these days is remembering the many, many trips I have made with my late fishing buddy, Junior Helton; my Uncle Jim Adams; and a host of uncles and cousins when I was growing up on Blair Branch.
Every uncle I had on both sides of the family and, for that matter, several of my aunts were hooked on fishing whenever they had time to spare. My Dad, on the other hand, was the only member of our extended family who missed the fishing gene, and he had absolutely no interest in hunting or fishing.
But somehow he understood mine and my younger brothers' inherent need to wet a line. Before I was even old enough to start school, he would stop by a big patch of bamboo reeds on the edge of Black Bottom when we went to trade at Oscar and Susan Back's little grocery store. He would let me select a long reed pole which he would cut off with his pocket knife and then haul it home dangling off the bed of his old Chevy pickup.
We housed and boarded several mining ponies in those days and the sweet feed they ate came in 100 pound burlap bags, the tops of which were sewn together with strands of stout nylon thread that made, when raveled out, 6 or 8 feet lengths of perfect fishing line. Mom would bend straight pins into V shapes, tie the pin heads to a length of sack string and we would wind it around the tips of the reed poles, and presto, the perfect fishing rig for the horny head chubs then residing in every little pool on Blair Branch.
By the time I was in fourth grade in the late 1950s I was allowed to spend two weeks every summer with my Uncle Jim and Aunt Alpha who lived on the Kentucky River. Uncle Jim was a fisherman's fisherman and he had a big selection of bait casting rods and reels. He also had the patience to teach his nephews how to use and care for them. Other kids may have counted the number of days until Christmas, but I counted the days that remained before I got to spend a vacation fishing with my ever-grinning Uncle Jim.
I believe he, too, looked forward to our visits because it gave him a valid excuse to pretty much fish around the clock for two whole weeks. Of course Aunt Alpha would insist that the garden had to be hoed, the lawn mowed, her flower beds weeded, beans picked, and other such chores done before any fishing was allowed, but that was just fine with me.
With Uncle Jim peering over my shoulder on one trip or another, I caught my first bass, catfish, redeye and red-horse sucker and I have, on many occasions, watched in awe as he played and landed trophy-grade small mouth bass that nobody else on the river seemed able to tease into biting.
As Les Crandall backed his boat out of my driveway, he yelled back at me, "You sure missed out on a heck of a fishing trip!"
And I thought to myself, "I'm sure I did, but I'll bet anything that I've had a thousand better."
I'd also bet about anything that Les never experienced the thrill of catching a big horny head chub with a pin hook and a reed pole.

Propeller Hefeweizen
A - Cloudy Golden colour, unfiltered yeasts take on a swirly appearance inside the beer, quite unique. Foamy head, but not long lasting.
S - Strong hints of Banana, clove, wheat. Smell is very appetizing and matches the style.
T - Mild Banana flavour, mild clove and grassy notes, very mild bitterness on the sides of the tongue. Corn comes out in the aftertaste, almost like plain corn chips, but not off-putting, and goes away quickly.
M - Very smooth and refreshing, good carbonation.
D - A very good beer in the Hefeweizen style, fantastic attempt for a Canadian Microbrew. Not quite as good as Konig Ludwig or Hacker-Pschorr in my opinion, but much better than Erdinger. If you see it, get it!

hard to believe I'm rating the same beer, and reading these reviews I second guess myself even after consuming this beer less than an hour ago
a: gorgeous hefeweizen served in a curvy logo imperial pint, golden colored and absolutely opaque with yeast slurry - easily the most heavily clouded beer I've seen, absolutely no light penetration, big chunky white head sticks around and leaves lots of lace
s: huge yeasty aromas stacked high on the sweet wheat structure, like a bowl of banana pudding, lots of ester and phenolic components, just a monster aroma, only thing missing here would be some bubblegum
m: carbonation around medium, body light-medium and a little sticky with wheat sugars
t: huge yeast flavors on a moderately full wheat malt body, big on the banana and clove, thick with the yeast influence - almost chalky, very meaty and firmly flavored for what often tends to be a bland style
d: no problem, just a great example of the style

12oz split courtesy of bobsy, first beer of the night.
Mine is the bottom pour of the bottle and it comes with a slight haze. Slight, while the top part of the bottle is clear. Golden straw yellow, a bout a finger of head. Not great retention, just a few bubbles kicking around.
Light wheat, clove and light banana in the aroma, but nothing that jumps out.
Pretty light, easy drinking hefe which also means it's pretty tame and uninspired on the flavor front. Light banana and cloves, a light grain tang, pretty quaffable but I wish it was a little dryer, a little fuller, a little SOMETHING more. Pretty thin body.
Easy drinker but lots of better hefes around.

12oz bottle from BBrianBoogie.
Pours a clear and radiant gold with lots of bubbles clinging to the edge of the glass, and a bone white head kicking up. Even the second half of the bottle is only moderately cloudy. Upon examining the bottle, only a tiny bit of sediment remained behind. Some slippery lace struggles to stay on the side of the glass as the head drops to a film. Grain, pear, clove and light banana in the aroma. Not as intense with the banana and clove as I'd expect, but as this has inadvertently turned into a kristalweizen, I guess it should come as no great surprise. Decent quaffable flavour is fine, but a little plain. Good wheat body to it, with a generic spiciness in the finish. Banana and clove are there, but again, not as much as would be expected. Medium body with a moderate carbonation keeps this summery and drinkable.
By no means a bad beer, but not a great one either. Perhaps with more sediment this would have been a lot better, though as it is it still makes for a drinkable summer brew.

Bottle: Poured a dirty and hazy beige/yellow color ale with a super huge foamy white head with great retention and very good lacing. Aroma of wheat malt with light cloves notes. Taste is quite refreshing though dryer then the style usually suggest with nice cloves notes and no bubblegum notes that the style usually suggest. Body is quite full with great carbonation. Well done though it lacks some character and ester that I usually associate with the style.

One of the only Propeller beers I'm not a huge fan of.
Pours golden into a pilsen glass, a LOT of foamy white head at first, but settles in a bit after a minute. An 1/8 inch of white head remains on the glass as you drink it. Highly carbonated.
It has the characteristic banana/clove flavours of a hefeweizen, but MAN is that flavour strong in this one. A bit too much for me. On the other side of the coin, my wife really loves that flavour and loves this beer. It may just not be for me.
Minimal bitterness, feels heavy in the mouth, effervescence cuts that a bit, but not enough for me.
It's a heavier version of the hefeweizen than I'm used to. i can see it is probably very true to style, but to my palate it is a bit too much.

Thanks to BBrianBoogie for this one!
Sampled immeidately after a Half Pints Hefe (which was bottled in the last 4 days). This bottle was bottled during the 4th week of January according to the label, seems a tad old, but I no Hefe aficionado.
Looks really nice, although it had clearly settled over time as it was clear until I have it the prerequisite last 1/4 swirl. Pours a hazy yellow to brown (a bit odd the colour). The colour though is easily ignored when paired with a beautiful fluffy white head that fills the glass and leaves very nice lacing.
The aroma on this beer is much more muted than the aforementioned beer, but it has some banana with a bit more coriander / clove spice on the nose. Enjoyable, but I was expecting a greater OOMPH across my olfactory glands.
The taste is incredibly disappointing in this beer. The flavours are so muted that I let the beer warm to see if more would be released. Initially it came across as a light fake-wit macro a la Rickard's or Keith's White... Not sweet, but with the bitterness being surprisingly upfront. Leaves an odd aftertaste. There are moments of banana and I am beginning to conclude that the aftertaste is some clove, but not in any enjoyable sense. I hate to be so harsh to the beer, but it is what it is...
The beer has a certain thickness to it, with a crisp carbonation. Finishes with the oddest of flavours that is in no way enjoyable, causing it to become difficult to drink. I hope this is due to age on the beer (3 months since bottling), but no matter what not a good Hefe.

At Propeller you can walk in the brewery with a large growler and they'll fill it up for you straight out of the fresh keg!
The Hefeweizen is their attempt at a Belgian/German Wheat beer. I would say this is more in line with a Schneider-Weisse than a simple wheat ale like a Hoegarrden.
It has an off-white with a touch of orange appearance.
Smell - Yeast, bready and some hops
Taste - Delicious lemon and orange with a hop bitterness. A bit overpower hops for the style, but still tasty. Some cloves for good measure.
Easy to drink and even easier to enjoy.
A great attempt but certainly not propellers best beer.

Viggo shared this one. thanks eric!
12oz bottle. sampled sept 4/09.
pours slightly hazy deep golden yellow wiht a big white head. even after sitting for a half hour it still maintained a decent layer of head on top. lots of lace.
aroma is nice. banana and clove. light spice. light alcohol. bit floral and fresh. white bread and cracker. touch woody.
taste is nice. whole wheat bread and cracker. banana and clove. light alcohol. floral and bright. bit of other spice present too. fairly simple and clean, but good.
mouthfeel is good. medium-light body with a fairly dry finish. medium-high carbonation level.
drinkability is good. a solid example of the style that stays true to its roots and doesn't taste "americanized".

12 oz bottle, pretty sure Bobbyok sent me this one in a trade.
Pours a lightly hazy amber, some orange highlights, dark for a hefe, medium sized white head forms, quickly settles down to a thin ring around the glass, a couple lace spots stick. Smell is nice, sweet banana and plantains, caramel, a touch of toasty malt, some fruit, oranges, just a touch of clovey spice. Taste is nice, sweet and fruity, orange peel, banana smoothie, biscuit, wheat, touch of clove, very dry and glutinous finish, a bit sticky. Mouthfeel is nice, light bodied with medium to high carbonation and a very dry finish. A pretty nice hefe! I am impressed. Thanks Bobby!

341 mL bottle with bottled-on date notched into label. Poured into weizen glass.
Pours a yellow-gold, cloudy, with a large, tightly bubbled foamy head. Good retention and some lacing left as I drink.
Nice clove/bubblegum aroma with hints of banana.
Nice sweet banana and peach flavour, hints of clove, bubblegum and pepper in the background. Mild lemony and wheat tang.
Medium to light body, very nice bite from the carbonation, but a strong astringency on the finish. Starts sweet, but ends dry.
A very pleasant brew, refreshing, easy drinking, and will be a pleasure to consume as the temperature rises. Recommended.

A new seasonal Propeller beer, I had no choice but to head down with my growler, and see how it turned out.
Poured out into a very cloudy somewhat dark orange yellowish, with a bit of head. Smell is strong, yeasty, with hints of banana, but also somewhat sour. The taste starts out with a bit of a bitter bite, which quickly smooths out with a hint of bananas. Very drinkable overall, I've already gone back for a refill!

Move over cupcakes, it's all about the lollipop now. The Cheesecake Factory showed us how to make cheesecake lollipops in the Good Day Cafe.
Cheesecake Lollipops
Chocolate Shell Mixture
1¼ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
4 T unsalted butter
Melt the chocolate with 2 T butter in Microwave. Heat on Medium 30 seconds at a time stirring occasionally until butter and chocolate are completely melted. Once mixture is lump free add the remaining 2 T butter and stir until melted to working temperature 100 to 105 degrees.
Cheesecake slices (deeply chilled) - We suggest The Cheesecake Factory "Original," White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle, and/or Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake
Wooden sticks
Your favorite toppings (Jimmies, mini chocolate chips, chopped toffee, coconut and chocolate curls, etc.)
Use small scoop to create round balls in the shape of lollypops.
Place a lollypop stick in the center of the cheesecake balls
"Deeply chill" cheesecake lollypop balls by placing in freezer for 1 - 2 hours. Keep in freezer until ready to use.
Remove from freezer. Completely submerge the cheesecake "Lollypop" in melted chocolate (see above recipe for melted chocolate). Be sure to cover the entire ball keeping a clean stick for a handle. (Variation: Using a spoon, pour the chocolate over the Cheesecake "Lollypop".)
Once the slice has been covered in chocolate, hold it over the mixture to let most of the excess drip off.
Immediately roll them in toppings. Set on a sheet pan.
Once the slice has been dipped and garnished, return to the freezer to set. After setting, each lollypop can be wrapped in a cellophane bag or plastic wrap for up to one week in the freezer.

Baylor Bears quarterback Robert Griffin III is one of the more interesting players in the 2012 NFL draft because opinions of him range all over the map. NFL scouts seem to be split the same way on the intriguing quarterback, according to NFL Networks Albert Breer.
One thing I know now after tapping into scouting community for some draft research: Assessments on Robert Griffin are all over the map.— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) January 17, 2012
... What that tells me, based on the principle that it "only takes one": There'll be a vigorous market for Griffin. Good chance he goes 2nd.— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) January 17, 2012
Breer currently has Robert Griffin III going second overall in his mock draft, but he has the St. Louis Rams trading the pick away to the Miami Dolphins. Griffin has also been linked to the Cleveland Browns, who have the ammunition to trade up if they feel Griffin will not make it to the fourth overall pick.

text: The jury for the Brent Benefield heard the final testimony today as both the defense and the prosecution rested their cases. Today prosecution called in Oregon Deputy Medical Examiner for Lane County, Daniel Wade Davis, to testify on the cause of death to Lucas Benefield. Davis said that he had concluded the death a homicide as a result from blunt for trauma to the head which Davis said was caused by shaking. A CT scan taken six hours after the 911 call showed what Davis described as "Fresh" hemorrhaging and bleeding over the brain. Photos taken of Lucas Benefield showed swelling and five blood clots. Persecutors said that the two healing rib fractures found on Lucas were caused by squeezing the child as they shook him back and fourth. The defense argued these rib fractures were caused by CPR. However, Davis said he has seen no research or documentation to prove that. The defense rested and the jury was ordered to return tomorrow where they will hear closing arguments before going into deliberation. Jack Carney Newschannel 6

ALBANY, N.Y. -- Governor Andrew M. Cuomo has announced $1
million in funding will be available to law enforcement agencies to video record
criminal interrogations.
"Fairness and integrity form the foundation of our justice system, and New York State is committed to providing local law enforcement with the resources necessary to improve the effectiveness of the process," Governor Cuomo said. "Wrongful convictions not only harm the innocent, but they allow the actual perpetrators of crime to remain free. The new equipment that will result from this funding will improve the strength of New York's criminal justice system, making all New Yorkers safer as a result."
The one time grant, available through the New York State
Division of Criminal Justice Services, will fund either the purchase and
installation of video recording equipment for police departments and sheriffs'
offices that have not yet implemented the practice, or allow agencies to
upgrade older equipment to ensure it functions properly.
Currently, 345 law enforcement agencies in 58 of the state's 62 counties video record the interrogations of individuals suspected of committing crimes in their communities. These grant funds will allow the remaining agencies in those 58 counties that don't currently video record interrogations to do so and also will expand the practice for the first time to agencies in Hamilton, Seneca, Schoharie and Tioga counties. There are more than 500 local and county agencies in the state.
DCJS will receive and review grant applications, which must be submitted by district attorneys' offices in cooperation with law enforcement agencies in their counties.
DAs' offices will receive the funds and provide them to the
appropriate law enforcement agency in their respective counties. They must also
partner with police agencies in their counties to develop video recording
protocols to detail, among other items, the type of crimes with which an
individual is charged that would require the interview to be recorded.
The grant recipients are scheduled to be announced sometime this fall.

DURHAM — On a day when offense and steady quarterback play was hard to find, Duke defensive back DeVon Edwards put up the most points of all.
Edwards, a redshirt freshman, returned a kickoff 100 yards and two interceptions for scores, and thanks to that effort, Duke beat N.C. State 38-20. He joins former Duke cornerback Leon Wright as the only two players in NCAA history to turn back-to-back passes into pick-sixes.
The Wolfpack (3-6, 0-6 ACC) had the lead with 6:37 left in the game.
The Blue Devils went through two quarterbacks in the second half Anthony Boone was benched after throwing his third interception of the game (seventh in the past two contests) in favor of Brandon Connette. Initially, the change didnt generate a spark, as the Duke second-half drive chart read punt, punt, interception (Boone), lost fumble (Connette), punt, punt, punt.
With Duke stalling, N.C. State took advantage with a quick strike, an 80-yard touchdown pass from Brandon Mitchell to Quintin Payton, and the Wolfpack momentarily had a 20-17 lead in the fourth quarter. Payton beat Breon Borders in coverage and shook off Edwards on the way to the end zone.
They always told me, everyone gets beat deep, Edwards said of the coaching staffs advice to the defensive backs. The only thing is, what are you going to do the next play?
Before Edwards put together his own highlight reel, Duke (7-2, 3-2) took the lead for good. The offense finally put together a sustained drive, with Connette hitting Jamison Crowder for back-to-back gains of 18 yards. Juwan Thompson, who moved to linebacker prior to the win at Virginia Tech, returned to running back and ran 31 yards through a large hole in the line. At that point, Duke had first-and-goal at the N.C. State 8-yard line, and Connette ran it in from 5 yards out to give Duke a 24-20 lead with 3:31 remaining.
Thats when Edwards took over.
On his next play after getting beat for the touchdown, he intercepted a Mitchell pass, jumping and tipping it up in the air before corralling it . Edwards took the ball 24 yards to the end zone, giving Duke a 31-20 advantage.
Pete Thomas entered on the Wolfpacks next series, continuing a game-long rotation, and his first pass was intercepted by Edwards at the N.C. State 45-yard line and taken to the house. That cemented the late-game blowout.
Jeremy Cash added a third fourth-quarter interception on the next Wolfpack drive, again courtesy of Mitchell.
The game came down to the fourth quarter, N.C. State head coach Dave Doeren said. Obviously Duke beat us in the fourth quarter today.
Before the interceptions, Edwards 100-yard punt return nullified the Wolfpacks first lead of the game at 13-10. After a 24-yard field goal from Nick Sade, Edwards fielded the kickoff in his end zone and took it the length of the field.
Duke had a 10-0 lead at halftime, thanks to a 75-yard pass from Boone to Crowder and a Wolfpack turnover on downs deep in its own territory.
On fourth and 1 from N.C. States 26-yard line, Thomas was under center, but Dave Doeren called for a handoff to Shadrach Thornton up the middle. That was stopped for no gain by David Helton and Jonathan Woodruff. The Ross Martin field goal came three plays and eight yards later.
The Boone-to-Crowder touchdown was the only play for either team that went for over 20 yards in the first half. N.C. States quarterback duo of Thomas and Mitchell finished the first half 4-of-13 for 41 yards. The Blue Devils finished the first half with 161 yards, 86 yards without the long pass play from Boone to Crowder.
Boone, who struggled against Virginia Tech in Dukes last outing, finished 13 of 21 for 139 yards, one rushing touchdown and three interceptions, all of which came on errant throws over the middle. He was benched after the third interception, which went to D.J. Green with just over seven minutes remaining in the third quarter.
The Wolfpack, though, converted Dukes four turnovers into just three points.
No one dressed in blue at Wallace Wade, however, was focused on the offensive struggles. Instead, as the full student section emptied out onto the concourse, they chanted We want Florida State! in reference to the Blue Devils chances to win the Coastal Division and advance to the ACC championship game.
When told after the game, Duke head coach David Cutcliffe laughed.
Hold your horses, he said. I love them. Thank goodness for their energy, their youth, their enthusiasm and their inexperience. .

A: The beer is crystal clear and a light shade of yellow and has a moderate amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a finger high off white head that died down, leaving a large patch of bubbles on the surface, a collar around the edge of the glass, and some lacing down the sides.
S: Light to moderate aromas of bready malts and floral and grassy hops are present in the nose.
T: The taste is similar to the smell and has some notes of grain plus hints of spices towards the finish. A light amount of bitterness is present.
M: It feels nearly medium-bodied and rather clean on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: While this beer feels lighter compared to other maibocks, it doesn't seem watery and the flavors are pretty good. It is rather drinkable. I would recommend this as a beer to try for a novice craft beer drinker that wants to sample this style.

I picked up a bottle of Hofbrau's Winter Spezial last week for $1.69 at The Lager Mill. I had an extra space in the six pack I was making and I decided to take a chance on this beer, so lets see how it goes. No visible bottling date, but I think it's fairly fresh, 2012 vintage. Poured from a green 11.2oz bottle into an imperial pint glass.
A- The label looks nice, it's got that typical Hofbrau look to it with a nice winter scene in the background. It poured a pale yellow color that took on a nice golden hue when held to the light with three fingers worth of fluffy white head that quickly died down to a thin ring that stayed till the end and it didn't leave much lacing behind. This was a looking beer, the appearance was pretty true to style.
S- The aroma starts of with a good amount of malts that have a higher amount of medium sweetness to them and impart lot of grain and bread like aromas followed by a slight bit of honey. After that comes a slight German yeast aroma followed by some earthy hops towards the end. The aroma was pretty close to a Maibock but it held on to a lot of those crisp and grainy Helles aromas, it's nice.
T- The taste seems to be fairly similar to the aroma, it starts off with a good amount of malts that have a medium amount of sweetness to them and impart some grains, bread, and bread crust like flavors followed by a light yeast flavor. Next comes some honey which sticks out just enough and it's followed by some earthy and slightly grassy hops that impart a light amount of bitterness. This is beer tasted good and it was true to style, I liked it.
M- Pretty smooth, crisp, slightly creamy, medium bodied with a good amount of slightly higher medium carbonation. The mouthfeel was pretty good, I liked how it was a little thicker then I expected.
Overall I thought this was a good beer and pretty damn good example of the style, it had lots of crisp and clean flavors without being too light, I enjoyed it. This beer had great drinkability, it was very smooth, with just enough flavor to hold my attention, I could see drinking more then a few of these when in the mood, it seems like this beer would really be nice in the summertime, it's pretty sessionable. What I liked the most about this beer was the drinkability and the mouthfeel, they were both pretty good and they worked well with this beer. What I liked the least about this beer is that it's marketed as a winter seasonal, I think it would do much better as a summertime beer. I would buy this beer again, but it's only available by the case or singles and I know it won't be around long, but I would buy a couple next year and I would recommend this beer to just about anyone. All in all I was happy with this beer, it didn't really have any aspects to it that made me think it's a winter seasonal, but it was still good nonetheless and would make for a pretty good session beer and I know it would be great with a nice brat and some German mustard. This was another really solid beer from Hofbrau, one of my favorite German breweries.

Clear, golden yellow with a dense white head that holds up well. Bready malt nose with some vague skunk from the green bottle, but not distracting. Some mild, spicy hops mixed with the alcohol.
This appears to be an amped up Munich Helles, but very good - fresh character. Bready and mildly sweet with some alcohol pepperiness. The mouthfeel is smooth and soft with a medium to heavy body -- mildest syrupiness.
This could easily be mistaken as a Maibock or Helles Bock, but HB doesn't call out any style on the label, and it's nothing like their Spring seasonal.
A very nice strong German beer.

I guess this is the first year Hofbrau bottled (or made?) this. I think its awesome...the old world breweries trying new things. You don't see many christmas beers out of Germany.
A-i didn't expect such a light colored beer. translucent golden with a lot of bubbles with a nice white head. looks like a true bavarian lager!
S-smells so refreshing! especially after drinking so many gimmicky christmas ales lately. it smells how a german beer ought to smell. fresh and crisp grassy grains. has a touch of honey to it, i think i'm going to like this. decent strength, decent quality.
T-comes in tasting amazing actually. it just really tastes like an extremely crisp grainy lager from germany! nothing christmas to it actually...which is a relief this season. there's a decent bitterness to it, and it keeps a strong matching after-taste. you can really taste the grains in this one. some honey, some grass as well.
M-high creamy carbonation with a creamy finish. very quaffable.
O-I bought one bottle. I should've bought more. This is just way too drinkable. Maybe not the most flavorful beer I've had lately, but it does have flavor, and i wouldn't mind having a full fridge of this. its just really filling all my german cravings. go out and try this. you'll wish you didn't decide to drive!

The Logansport Municipal Utilities repower and expansion study team will host a public information session to discuss the possible construction of a power plant fired by refuse-derived fuel.
LMU superintendent Paul Hartman said a press release was created in anticipation of positive results from the Logansport Utility Service Board, which will meet at 7:30 tonight to consider the project.
The team, made of experts in the energy field who have gathered information to see if project is a possibility, will be revealed at tonight's meeting, Hartman said.
As one method to save and increase local jobs, the team is expected to recommend Logansport Municipal Utilities construct a new refuse-derived-fuel power plant. The plan, the news release said, is to achieve total system capacity of 300 megawatts as the best approach to maintain local independence for electricity generation and distribution at a cost of 4.5 to 5.5 cents per kilowatt-hour.
Wednesday's information session will provide members of the public the opportunity to review information with the team and ask questions.
"The more educated the public is about what we're trying to do, the better things will be," Hartman said.
Proposals to upgrade and expand LMU's power generation facilities are expected in January, according to the news release. If implemented, the first phase of repowering the existing plant would be completed no later than 2016. Construction of the new power plant would likely be completed in 2016-2017.
The city and LMU would evaluate proposals based on the responders' experience with the proposed technology, the quality of their technical proposal and an assessment of their ability to deliver electricity at the desired cost level.
Future phases of the project, the news release said, will involve public hearings and permit approvals from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management.
Want to go?
Who: Logansport Municipal Utilities repower and expansion study team
What: Public information session
Where: City council chambers, City Building, 601 E. Broadway
When: 7 to 9 p.m. Wednesday
Why: Provide members of the media and public the opportunity to review information with the team and ask them questions

The cleaner the kitchen, the better the food? Lucas County health inspectors think so, but that's not what they found.
Panda Chinese Restaurant on Sylvania Avenue in west Toledo received six total violations in its last inspection. Inspectors are calling the facility's conditions "unsanitary and inadequate." Food was found uncovered, a sink was far too dirty, and litter was seen inside.
Also on Sylvania Avenue racking up violations was McDonald's. Inspectors noted violations against its employees who were wearing jewelry and sporting artificial, polished nails.
Happy Rose Buffet on Airport Highway in south Toledo racked up 17 violations. Black build-up was discovered inside the ice machine and grease build-up was found on the cook line and dish room walls. Inspectors also found damaged ceiling tiles and food improperly dated.
At the Sonic Drive-In on Secor Road in west Toledo, inspectors found hot dogs, chicken and eggs all expired.
Up the road at the Golden Dragon, seven violations were served. According to inspectors, the dish machine wasn't dispensing sanitizer, plus floors, walls and ceilings were covered in food debris and grease.
If you're looking for somewhere to grab a snack, try Cafe Donuts on Monroe Street in west Toledo or the Sundance Kid Drive-In on Navarre Avenue in Oregon. Neither restaurant received violations.

This scoop it profile by @Tom D'Amico (@TDOttawa) includes many useful blogs and articles that aim to teach in the 21st century. This includes learning with the use of technology. What he refers to as the 'iGeneration' includes many useful updates that can be used for both the students and teachers in the classroom. A few i came across that sparked my interest were a description on how to set up a blog with wordpress for teachers, this can be very useful to me as a student now and also in the future. I enjoy D'Amico's profile as he scoops quite interesting topics.

Steve raises his voice, a bit of the old punk rage perhaps asserting itself again after all these years. "You had to work to go and see a band back in '77, had to get off your arse and go to a gig, and then go to a record store to purchase the product. There was a lot more work involved. Now it's just mindless consumption."

Kurt Cobain passed 18 years ago and like when John Lennon passed, I was genuinely devastated. I was also in bad shape at that point. I ran into Kurt on a few occasions with Teenage Fanclub when they toured together in 1992/93. It was around that time I first met Courtney Love, Kurt's then partner. What's sad is he had really only just begun in music. I think some people just handle that level of attention better than others, and I think Kurt found it not just difficult, but impossible.
In truth, I grew up in a violent household, just like most Glaswegian households of that era - no more or less really than any other from that time. I ended up getting 16 stitches in the back of my head after a bit of parenting from my dad when I was 15 for being cheeky. My mum and gran used to smash me about as well, it was just a different time then in the 60s and 70s.

Joking aside, if the police confirm that I have indeed been hacked, I will still sue. The joke to me is that in the period they are talking about, whoever had the pleasure to get into my voicemail would have been faced with hour-long Courtney Love rambles about her new songs at 5am UK time.

I'd like to pay my respects and say R.I.P to Sir Jimmy Savile, who died on Saturday. I met him only once, weirdly, it was at a dinner at Chequers in October 1999. I was first to arrive that evening (sad but true) and I was standing talking to Tony Blair, who was rocking his Gap casuals. Anyway, who is the next guest to arrive, but Jimmy Savile. At that point I thought life is definitely getting surreal. Rock 'n' roll to the end, he spent the entire night trying with persistence to chat up my wife, Kate. He was a rock 'n' roller even in his 70s, a bit like my Dad. Actually, my Dad just does the rock 'n' roll, not the charity work.

Alex is a teenage role model for agriculture
11:00am Thursday 29th November 2012 in Bridgwater Area News
A DEDICATED teenager, who gave up his Saturday mornings for two years to carry out unpaid work, is being held up as a shining light of the agricultural industry.
Representatives of the Community Council for Somerset, working on a new project titled 'Somerset's Dairy Career Project' funded by the Big Lottery's Local Food scheme, interviewed 16-year-old Alex Hutchings last month.
A video of the interview, recorded at the Hawkins Agri store in Bridgwater which will be passed onto schools and colleges throughout the region.
Alex, who left Huish Episcopi Academy, near Langport, in July, was taken on as an apprentice at Hawkins Agri, in Bridgwater, after carrying out two years of unpaid work there to build up his experience.
His father, Julian, told the Mercury: "The Community Council for Somerset has picked him out as a role model for other people of his age.
"He will be featured in a video which will be taken to schools and colleges, and be available online, to show what's available in the dairy industry.
"It's all testament to his endeavour and drive and myself and Alex's mother, Carrie, are both very proud of him.
"Lots of people in his position wouldn't consider doing two years of unpaid work as a way into employment.
"He got up at 6.30am every Saturday and went to sweep up, make tea and clean machinery."
During his apprenticeship, Alex's tasks will include working with combines, bailers and other agricultural machinery.
At the end, he will be a qualified New Holland agricultural technician. Mr Hutchings thanked Hawkins Agri for taking on his son.
He said: "Nobody takes on apprentices these days - it was a bit of a leap of faith as they were concerned but it's been rewarded."

Doraneko wrote:The Kadokawa Group, which controls the major light novel labels including Dengeki, Fujimi, Sneaker and Famitsu, practically holds almost 80% share of the entire light novel market. If they want they can easily designate the English rights to its US branch and then send us a C&D requiring all current and future titles from the above labels to be removed from this site. This has happened before to Animesuki, which received a C&D from Media Factory delivered from Japan and has since then refrained from listing any MF work (so yea the US branch part in my previous scenario is redundant if no lawsuit is intended). The difference is that the market size of Media Factory in the anime sector is totally incomparable with the influence of Kadokawa in the light novel sector, explaining why AS managed to come out almost unscratched. In contrast Kadokawa is the copyright mammoth in the light novel industry.More fun would ensure if MF cooperated with Kadokawa and sent us a C&D to ban both Kadokawa and MF light novel titles. By that time B-T would have nothing left except these forums. On one hand, their chance of them bringing the whole thing to the court is low. On the other hand, their cost of sending us a C&D is also far from high. It has been the practice of B-T to be complying to legal requests and I don't see how it would change in the future. In that sense, they can easily put an end to our activities at a whim. We are literally at their mercy.

Practically, they don't seem to have done much about it.
Not that it matters. We, as a group, or more particularly The Big Boss, isn't going to try to fight them anyway. We're not in the business of competing against them, but simply providing the materials in English as long as they don't have plans of doing so themselves. For that matter, we're not "in business" at all!

But IMO if the English copyright holder, be it a local licensor or a copyright managing branch (as illustrated in my previous example), takes legal action such as sending C&Ds within a reasonable time after they have acquired the rights, the claim that they have not taken reasonable steps to defend their rights will not stand before the court.

This was our 2nd Princess cruise and we sailed on the Voyage of the Glaciers Alaska cruise in September 2013. While not a true "sister ship" to our previous cruise aboard Caribbean Princess, its layout and interior design was a very close match.
Cabin - We stayed in a balcony cabin, A743, which is starboard aft, only the 2nd cabin in from the back door which leads to the aft pool and then up another short flight of stairs to the aft bar & entrance to the Horizon Court buffet restaurant. We love this convenience. In warmer climes, we love access to the quiet adult-only aft pool, but that was only available for a few hours of sunning ourselves on nicer days during our Alaska journey. The cabin was decent in size and just as expected with the exception of the beds running horizontal from the door perspective to allow access to the balcony. This would be fine except that we had a third passenger in an upper bunk that had to squeeze between the beds to access the ladder. This would be fine for children but was a slight challenge for an adult to maneuver. I quickly learned the best way to manage this, though.
Dining - We opted, as usual, for the early traditional dining. We love the assigned waiter (we had Roy from the Philippines). On this cruise we did miss 2 dinners in the dining room because we were in port late or attending other activities on the ship (in our case - whale watching). The dining room staff was right on point with food selections & timing, with the exception of the last night where the Baked Alaska on Parade is a highlight, but took too long for our preference and we left before the festivities. The other two nights we could have reserved an "Anytime Dining" time with 24-hours advance notice, but opted for the casual approach of the Horizon Court buffet. On our previous cruise the Horizon Court offered some of the same dishes featured in the main dining room, but that was not the case on this sailing. Regardless, the options were tasty and varied and the service was appropriate for the casual setting. We did not choose any of the specialty restaurants on this cruise, but there is also a steakhouse (located in the far aft section of the Horizon Court) and Sabatini's Italian Restaurant whose aroma was beckoning!
Activities/Entertainment - We only attended one show and were slightly disappointed at the shortened length of only 35 minutes. However, the singing, dancing, and costumes were similar to other Princess performances. We really enjoy the other shipboard activities like the trivia contests and game shows and here the cruise staff excelled, as usual. There were also multiple events for dancing and learning to dance as well as Bingo and casino games, which is typical of most cruises. The highlight for me on this sailing was the addition of the onboard naturalist who sailed not only the entire journey with us, but sailed the whole Alaska season on the Diamond Princess. He provided a variety of talks in the theatre as well as some impromptu get-togethers on deck and dedicated points-of-interest commentary from the bridge. The best was the evening sail through Snow Passage (between Ketchikan and Juneau) where he explained how to see identify whale activity and described sightings of each whale, porpoise, harbor seal, and stellar sea lions. It was an amazing event.
Ports - This sailing left Vancouver and sailed northbound to Ketchikan, Juneau, and Skagway before ending in Whittier. We also had a full day of scenic cruising in Glacier Bay National Park where the National Park rangers were brought aboard for a full day of commentary while viewing several major glaciers in the park. These were excellent ports with a wide variety of activities and convenient docking areas.

Phil Hughes hasn't gone five innings in either of his starts. Michael Pineda is recovering from shoulder problems. Freddy Garcia has thrown five wild pitches in four innings. Andy Pettitte is pitching well for the Tampa Yankees. These are all loosely related.
Pettitte pitched four innings in his latest outing for Class-A Tampa, allowing just two hits and striking out five. The lefty also induced a double play, so he finished his four innings having thrown to one batter over the minimum. He'll rejoin the Yankees soon, but not that soon:
It's only his second minor-league start and Girardi said, "Usually you give a guy six starts." It's unclear where Pettitte will pitch in his next outing, but he likely will increase his workload by about 15 pitches, Girardi said.
Pettitte will make at least one more start in Tampa, according to Brian Cashman. After that, he'll likely join the Trenton Thunder to complete his tuneup.

(WMC-TV) - A survey, conducted by the health website ShareCare, found that Memphis women are the heaviest drinkers in America.
Sharecare recommends one drink each day for women will be good for their health, while men can drink two. But when your one glass of wine at dinner turns into an entire bottle, you could be putting your health at risk.
While the women in Memphis ranked number one on the list of heaviest drinkers, the Bluff City ranked eighth on the list of men who drink the least
According to the survey, Knoxville is on the top of the men's list.
Both cities are in the top 10 for strong social networks, and according to Sharecare, drinking tends to be a social activity.
"We use alcohol socially because it tends to break down inhibitions and makes it easier for people to open up and have a good time," said Keith Roach, MD, Chief Medical Officer of Sharecare. "The iconic, club-lined Beale Street in Memphis and the University of Tennessee in Knoxville add plenty of opportunities for residents to get their drink on."
The women in Salt Lake City and the men in Louisville follow Memphis and Knoxville, ranking number two on the list.
