An Arizona company that produces technology to shoot enemy rockets down expands its operations in the Tennessee Valley.
The company is called Orbital Sciences and is a very well known name in the missile defense field.
In Huntsville, they produce short, medium, and long range targets, but they also produce the interceptor that shoots those targets down. It's the same technology that could shoot down a North Korean missile.
Orbital already has one facility on Redstone Arsenal, but they're expanding their operations to Research Park and officials said they are not ruling out moving more of their projects to the Tennessee Valley in the future.
"We've supported both the target side and the interceptor side for over 25 years," said Orbital's Mark Ogren. "Sometimes we play the bad guy, and sometimes we support the missile interceptors."
Orbital's new building could help them with any future expansion as a portion of it is still not filled.

(WMC-TV) - The Tipton County Sheriff's Office continues to search for a man who reportedly went missing with his motorcycle Wednesday.
Michael Olin Holland, Jr., 32, was last seen wearing his work uniform which is black carhatt pants, a tan shirt with the Tennessee Valley Authorities or TVA logo, and a black TVA ball cap.
According to his wife assisting detectives in the investigation he did not arrive to work on time in Brownsville. Co-workers contacted his wife at 7:00 p.m. indicating that he was not at work, and that this was out of his character.
"It's different, its very hard. It was going to be our fifth wedding anniversary next week on June 3," said wife, Rebecca Holland.
Family and friends believe Michael went out riding yesterday, and had a wreck.
Deputies confirmed no reports at local hospitals or crashes in the county involving motorcycle victims.
His wife said his motorcycle was not at the house upon her arrival from work Wednesday.
Deputies found no signs of foul play at the residence.
All his personal items are still inside their home.
"His TVA badge is still inside, can't get on the property without the TVA badge. His work bag where he carries his snacks, pens all his work equipment," said Rebecca.
The motorcycle is described as a green (has a yellowish tint) and black 2011 Harley Davidson Sportster motorcycle bearing TN motorcycle tag # 5ZT974. Michael is known to ride rural routes throughout the area but especially the roads in Tipton and Lauderdale County near the Mississippi River.
Michael is described as 185 lbs, 5'8" in height, brown eyes, brown short hair, no facial hair wearing black glasses. He was last seen Wednesday morning at 6:00 a.m.
If anyone has information in this case, please call the Criminal Investigations Division at 901-475-3300, Central Dispatch after hours at 901-475-4300, phone in tips at 901-475-3307, email tips to email@example.com or Facebook at Sheriff J.T. "Pancho" Chumley".

Enjoy your Night HoppingPosted on Jun 30, 2011 under restaurants, travels | No Comment
My friend has been enjoying his international vacation in the United States. You see, it has been a month since he visited the country and until now he has no plans of coming back to his hometown. My sister said he saw him once in one of the nightclubs in NYC where my sister is currently working. Well, I never thought that he's into night clubs lately, though he was really a party goer when I was with him in our old home.
Anyways, I called him the other day and ask him about his bar hopping extravagance. Surprisingly, he admitted what my sister saw. So it was definitely him enjoying all the night lights, drinks and of course – the girls! He said that he's be going too at one of Boston nightclubs with some of his newly acquired friend and might also visit the
top Chicago nightclubs as well before the end of this month.
Well, there's nothing wrong with bar hopping thingy because he is of age and he is not really committed to anybody or not even exclusively dating to any girl. But I do hope after his nightclubs adventure, he'll finally slow down and decides to get serious with his life. And maybe settle down so that his mom will be happy enough before her times comes.
I really hope so! Urgh!

CHAPEL HILL — Not that long ago questions surrounded North Carolina questions that appeared daunting.
They went like this: How would the Tar Heels adapt without P.J. Hairston and Leslie McDonald? Who would emerge on the perimeter? How would coach Roy Williams compensate for the loss of his two most experienced guards?
Could Marcus Paige, the sophomore guard, be counted on to provide consistent, reliable scoring? Could J.P. Tokoto, the sophomore forward, play shooting guard? Could James Michael McAdoo play small forward?
There was another question too, after UNC suffered that 83-80 loss against Belmont nearly a month ago: Would UNC even be good enough to reach the NCAA tournament?
It seems silly now, with what has transpired in the past month. Nearly all of those questions have been answered in the positive.
A month and a half into the season, the Tar Heels have the best resume in the country. They have wins against then-No. 3 Louisville, then-No. 1 Michigan State and then-No. 11 Kentucky, which entered the season ranked No. 1.
Williams, whose team hosts Texas on Wednesday night at the Smith Center, was asked Saturday after the victory against Kentucky about whether his players have figured out their roles, and accepted them. He thought for a second and said, I think theyve accepted it.
Im not sure that weve figured it out yet, Williams said. I think theyve accepted it. J.P. knows hes going to spend some time at the two, James Michael knows hes going to spend some time at the three. With such a young group, and sometimes an immature group, we dont want to give them too fat and happy kind of thing.
A month ago, Williams might have been worried about when or if his team would put it together. Now hes worried about becoming, in his words, too fat and happy. That speaks to how far the Tar Heels have come.
The loss against Belmont and then the victory against Louisville raised questions about which performance represented the true Tar Heels. A loss at UAB earlier this month made that question louder. Since then, though, the questions have been replaced by this one: How have the Tar Heels, without two of their best players, become one of the most impressive teams in the nation?
McAdoo, the junior forward, spoke Saturday of belief. How he and his teammates have had it all along.
Why do we believe? McAdoo asked, repeating a question. Why do you play the game? We love the game. We love each other. This is what this team is about playing for the guy next to you. Playing for the guys that might not be in the game as much as, per se, me. Even P.J. and Leslie this is North Carolina basketball.
McAdoo hasnt always appeared comfortable playing small forward, but he appeared to turn a corner against Kentucky. He broke out of a prolonged scoring slump and scored 20 points 12 coming at the free throw line. Tokoto, too, provided essential first-half points. Paige, meanwhile, took over in the second half.
A year ago, McAdoo said after the Kentucky game, We got killed in games like this. Indiana. Down in Maui.
At Texas. The Tar Heels suffered an 85-67 loss in Austin, Texas, against the Longhorns last Dec. 19. Now, nearly exactly a year later, the most-doubted UNC team in a while is making believers and erasing questions. And theyre doing it without Hairston and McDonald, both of whom continue to sit out amid NCAA eligibility concerns.
The primary questions that have surrounded them still remain: When will they return? Will they return? Another one has emerged, too: If they do come back, how will that affect the good thing the Tar Heels have going?

The Governor's Office says Pat Quinn will sign legislation Sunday increasing penalties on gun owners who don't report the theft or loss of a weapon.
It's a law pushed by Chicago area legislators and Chicago Police Chief Garry McCarthy.
Police seize more guns off the streets of Chicago than New York and Los Angeles--combined.
A federal report says 3,300 guns were reported lost or stolen in Illinois last year.
They believed that's an under-count.
370 guns were reported missing by federally licensed gun dealers.

STOCKHOLM — Three U.S.-based scientists won this year's Nobel Prize in chemistry on Wednesday for developing powerful computer models that researchers use to understand complex chemical interactions and create new drugs.
Research in the 1970s by Martin Karplus, Michael Levitt and Arieh Warshel has led to programs that unveil chemical processes such as how exhaust fumes are purified or how photosynthesis takes place in green leaves, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said. That kind of knowledge makes it possible to find the best design for things like new drugs, solar cells or catalytic converters for cars.
The strength of the winning work is that it can be used to study all kinds of chemistry, the academy said.
"This year's prize is about taking the chemical experiment to cyberspace," said Staffan Normark, the academy's secretary.
All three scientists became U.S. citizens. Karplus, an 83-year-old U.S. and Austrian citizen, splits his time between the University of Strasbourg, France, and Harvard University. The academy said Levitt, 66, is a British, U.S., and Israeli citizen and a professor at Stanford University School of Medicine. Warshel, 72, is a U.S. and Israeli citizen affiliated with the University of Southern California in Los Angeles.
Levitt told The Associated Press the award recognized him for work he had done when he was 20, before he even had his PhD.
"It was just me being in the right place at the right time and maybe having a few good ideas," he said, speaking by telephone from his home in Stanford, California.
"It's sort of nice in more general terms to see that computational science, computational biology is being recognized," he added. "It's become a very large field and it's always in some ways been the poor sister, or the ugly sister, to experimental biology."
Jokingly, he said the biggest immediate impact of the Nobel Prize would be his need for dance lessons before appearing at the Nobel banquet.

Purchased this bomber at Princeton's in Maple Grove.
Poured a light orange into a tulip glass. During the pour there almost seemed to be a shade of purple visible, but it didn't show up in the body. Small white cap, almost no lacing.
It smelled strange. I'll admit that I have limited experience with the style (I've had a few different Flander's Red Ales), but I just don't understand the appeal of some of the more pungent aromas here. On one hand, you can smell the flowers and figs, but in front of them is the barnhouse.
Taste was a bit unpleasant. Tasted about like it smelled. Weird sharp wheaty tang. It did taste better as it got warmer, however. The dirty tang was lessened and more mellow lemon moved in. I might consider pouring this much warmer if I have it again.
Mouthfeel was meh. Nothing extraordinary.
Drinkability was average too imo.
Avery makes some of my favorites. Their Maharaja is the stuff of legend in my apartment. And I REALLY enjoyed 14. Lot's of stuff going on in that one. It's one of my favorite beers of all time. Overall, I wanted to, and was expecting to enjoy this. It's certainly off the beaten path for me as I've been stuck in a style rut for most of the past year. But, at the end of it, I ask myself: did I enjoy this beer?
No. Not really.
Perhaps my palate isn't developed enough yet... but I just don't see myself seeking out this beer again.

Appearance - This poured a nice, glowing orange in color that was muddled yet shiny and brilliant. The pure white head was gorgeous.
Smell - This nose is a mix of farmy wild yeast notes and American hops. It's almost like a non-sour sour ale but with an American Pale Ale hop profile. It's very intriguing to say the least.
Taste - The flavors aren't sour at all. It's like a Belgian farmhouse ale but like I said with some dominant hoppy notes. The malt base is pretty much lost but you can find it if you look hard enough.
Mouthfeel - This ale is a solid medium-bodied, actually a tad bigger, with some tight, wonderful carbonation and a mild but significant bitter finish. Nicely done.
Drinkability - I wouldn't call this a drinker or a session ale, but it's interesting and quite unique among American breweries.

Bottled in April 2008, enjoyed July 2013; that means over five years of aging for this anniversary, 100% Brett beer. Who knows what those critters might have done in that long of a time frame! Cloudy and gold with a lighter, hay-straw colored bottom. The broken and chunky, off-white head is large and volatile with a gentle pour - impressive for five years of shelf-sitting.
Holy smackers - funk city. But what else do you expect when you give wild yeast a chance to work its magic for 60 months? Wet hay, bubblegum, lightly tart pineapple, heavy bandaid (one of the first times I can say I smell bandaid). Plenty of dank, musty and cheesy-ass cellar basement floor like aromas abound. My god, da funk is here.
The aroma is about 90% funk, with the other 10% consisting of some phenol alcohol, herbal hops, and a grassy twinge that I'm going to call hibiscus because the bottle says "hibiscus" on it. There may be some other spices sifting through the static, but at five years and counting, the brettanomyces just continues to swallow everything in its path.
Fifteen may have been shitty during its release (as early ratings would indicate), but it seems that time has treated it well. Either that, or you know, "there's nowhere else to go but up". The taste is just like the aroma; fully loaded with musty forest floors, sweaty horseblanket, clumpy yeast and damp wood, rotten pineapple... just unabashed, funky shit all over the place.
The extremely mild Brett-induced pineapple tartness quickly melds into a finishing sweetness with a touch of Belgian-like spices, peppery and floral, with more of those grassy and hibiscus-esque notes in the finish. The mouth feel is pretty good and light, carbonation is lively and even borderline effervescent. It's safe to say that this sucker has held up pretty well.
Well there's no doubt that if funky-ass beers are your thing or you enjoy eating spoonfuls of brettanomyces yeast, then you'll love Avery's Fifteen with five solid years on it. It's like a poor man's Sanctification, only without the insane tartness (which I was kind of hoping to find here and didn't get it). I love funk, too, but it was almost just a bit much in this capacity. Still not a bad pick up for the price, especially since 100% brett'd beers aren't the most common in Michigan.

Dull gold in color without much lasting head.
Aroma is funky and fruity with darker dried fruit notes.
A bit of lemony tartness up front, funk and a orange/peach kind of fruitiness. The finish is spicy and dry.
A little to clean and lacks anything too great going on. I've had this about five times now, and I think i'm done giving this chances.

This beer has a light hazy orange color and a thin head. The aroma has sour cherry, spice, and fig notes present. It has a light body with a relatively clean finish and subtle malt and figs. I'm not sure why they'd release this beer as their 15th Anniversary option.

From BeerAdvocate Magazine Volume II, Issue VI:
Brettanomyces create a beer that's an acquired taste. Some say it's the pate of beer. Not only is Fifteen an American Wild Ale, but it runs the short path to extreme beer land with the use of black mission figs, hibiscus flowers and white pepper. Oh yeah, and it's fermented with 100-percent Brett!!!
Good head retention, lacing as well. Bright clarity with a light rose water-hued yellow color. Aroma is funky. Super funky, so funky it's love it or hate it, but we can take the funk just not sure about anyone else. Ripe fruit and barnyard combo in the nose. Smooth medium body. At first sip it's knee-slapping funk. Very ripe fruit, Band-Aid and barnyard funk are clearly dominant. Medicinal flavors throughout. Hibiscus tartness matches the tartness from the Brett and the white pepper is more warming than flavorful, though the alcohol plays a part in the warmth as well. Mission figs never really peak, though there is a cooked fig flavor deep within. Finishes dry and somewhat clean.
Funk, lots of it. Again, love it or hate it. For us, it's great to try but on its own but really should be paired with some sort of soft cheese or hearty game meat.

I've tried this beer on tap and from the bottle. I really didn't much care for what was on tap back in May 2008 when I first tried this, but figured I'd give a bottle a shot.
This review is from the bottle.
The funk is there, but pretty restrained really. Their Brett strain seems a bit tame, at least in this beer. Ample spiciness comes through, but strikes me more as a yeasty spiciness, not white pepper. Notes of past prime cantaloupe, horse hair, basement mustiness, aspirin dust, alcohol burn, 'turned' (as in spoiled) grapefruit juice, and old lemons. All in all though, for the funk that's there, it's quite "bright" and still has somewhat of a delicate fruitiness. Not the 'funkbomb' I was expecting. I mean, it's funky, but not explosive, "F-BOMB" funky.
On the palate, it has a funk profile, but the fruity figgy notes seem to subdue it to the point where the funk breaks late and low, almost sneaking past the fruity/figgy notes. There's a definite sour character, but it's quite tame, and overall acidity is lower than expected. The finishing sourness is very much reminiscent of Sweetarts Candy--but with a moderately funky aftertaste ('Funktarts'). At "only" 7.7%ABV the alcohol REALLY comes ripping right through all the rest of it. Perhaps the white pepper, which doesn't really stand out on its own, is helping to pull out the alcohol's sharpness.
Overall, this one really doesn't work for me. Neither did their Thirteenth Anniversary beer, which was a major disappointment. It's rare that I find Avery beers that I don't like. Seems to be restricted to their anniversary releases. I love that they're experimenting, however, and hell, if I brewed either this beer or their Thirteen, I'd be beyond thrilled. Not bad beers, but still did not live up to my expectations. Let there be no doubt, I finished the bomber, but not with the vigor I'm capable of...
Final note: The main difference between the bottle and what I had on tap (when fresh) was that the tap version had more prominent notes of "off produce" instead of the "Funktarts" character that dominated the bottled sample.

3.85/5 rDev +7.2%
Pours from the bottle an extremely hazy sunshine yellow with an inch of white head on top of the brew and good retention. Aromas start out with crisp malts and deep floral nuances. Earthy Brett funkiness melds with fruit and fig scents. Spicy yeast in the background with some sour twang as well. Complex and enjoyable.
First sip brings slightly sweet malt upfront with floral flavors and a good meld of fruit and fig. Brett kicks in alongside spicy, earthy yeast tones. Flows down on the dry side with lingering funk, herb and spice aftertastes and a mild tartness.
Mouthfeel is a bit on the lighter side with fast moving carbonation that creates a creamy feel. An interesting brew with a good kick of funkiness. A bomber is enough for me but I look forward to aging the others I have for a bit longer.

22 oz bottle. Pours a hazy golden orange with a small white head that quickly diminishes to a thin collar.
The aroma is rather unpleasant funky (and slightly burnt) yeast and bandaids with some spices and some tart fruits. Some buttery malts (popcorn) come out as it warms.
The flavor is a little tart fruitiness (lemons) and buttery malts that is quickly smothered by a kind of peppery and floral bitterness. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with lots of sharp carbonation at first that mellows.
Overall, an interesting concept, but not nearly as good as it sounded. The combination of flavors and smells didn't mesh well with me. It'd be interesting to see if more sourness comes out as it ages.

Bomber pours a hazy golden amber body with a small bonewhite head that leaves some thin sheet lacing.
Aroma has figs and funk, with an earthy yeastiness.
Mouthfeel has a spritzy carbonation and a light medium body.
Taste is complex. The Bretts are going to work here. Wet gravel and barnyard notes abound. Dry and funky all the way through. Year old dried figs blend into some horse blanket. Dirty and earthy, like chewing on twigs.
Pleasantly funky and highly drinkable. I think Avery does a better job with their anniversary ales than anybody out there. This one reminds me of some of the better Deproef wild ales.

Bomber bottle, "bottled in April, 2008", label pays homage to famous Belgian painters. Gold foil over the cap. Pours clear initially, the yeast cake on the bottom of the bottle creates cloudy later pours. Minor lacing left from the short lived eggshell head. Carbonation on the low side. Allowed to warm, the nose is of Brett laced horseyness. Sourness is quite moderate, I get licorice notes, some coriander, some farmy and sour funk and not much else. I will do my best to get a few bottles more of this one and let em sit around for a year or so to see if the Brett kicks in more fully. This fresh bottle seems to have a ways to go to reach its complexity and interest apogee.

I was surprised to see this on tap in July 2010 at the Fort Worth Gingerman.
The beer pours a hazy gold color with a white head. The aroma is a lot of citrus fruit with some brett character. The flavor is a nice mix of brett, leather, oranges and yeast. Medium mouthfeel and medium character. Not bad.

Pours murky yellow with a thin, fizzy white head. Aroma is very pleasant, possibly the only good thing about this beer. Figs, apples, and the advertised funky yeast reminiscent of a Flemish. The taste is brutal. Up front is nice: fig, hops, and hibiscus flavors. Then the wretched wild yeast takes over. Sour is not the word for it. It tastes like the tangiest pink taco you could imagine with a bile back. I gave this one a chance, making it thorugh 2/3 of a bomber until I cried "no mas." The only reason this rating didn't go lower is because I like Avery and applaud their willingness to take a chance. However, you could not force me to drink this again. You can ban me for life for this rating, I will stand by it until I die.
And yes, I like sours, I like Bretty beers, I just could not take this. Sorry.

Appearance is gold to slightly amber. Slight haze but decent for a conditioned bottle. Rough off-white head lingers for a moment and disappears. Interesting aromas. Brett definately present but the malt actually dominates with the hibiscus, fig and hops delicately balanced altogether. Taste is much the same as aroma but Brett starts to compete with strong malts as the brew warms up. The hibiscus, fig and hop are a nice balance to the Brett. Medium to medium-full body with a nice touch of carbonic bite at the tip of the tongue. Hop bitterness is just enough to remind you of their presence and complements the sourness from the Brett. A very full-flavored beer but nothing really dominates in this beer because it is so nicely balanced between malt, hops, and Brett. I suppose this beer is too mild in Brett flavor and aroma for the style so I will "ding" it for that, but I really enjoyed this beer. I would expect this beer would get more "horsey" as it ages so shelve it for a bit if that's what you like. Or, get two and drink one now and save one for later for comparison.

I've had my share of wild ales, but this beer was definitely not what I was looking for. It is definitely spontaneously fermented with lots of horse-stable straw flavor, but it had almost no acidity to balance out the funk. It was like drinking a beer version of Rocqueforte cheese that wasn't salty or tart. Combined with a mineral quality it had a distinctly meaty taste. It looked alright, pale and couldy, with almost no head and smell was fine.
Most disappointing was that I had this at City Tap House in West Philadelphia, at an event termed, "Best of the best," when in fact this was one of the worst wild Ales I've ever tasted

This beer pours a hazy golden yellow color, witha thin white head. The head fades fast, leaving too few laces.
This beer has an earthy yeast aroma. It smells subtly spicy. I can detect some sweet fruit as well. Apples and cantelope. It has a slightly sour aroma.
This beer tastes much like it smells. More fruity in the flavor. Definately aple and cantelope. Some earthy yeast flavor. A slight coriander flavor is also present. This beer dosent have the sour flavor that the aroma lead me to believe.
This beer leaves a sweat fruity aftertaste. It is highly carbonated, suiting the style well.
This beer would probably make a good session beer. The flavor isnt too aggressive, and the alcohol isnt all that high.
Overall: Thanks go to Russpowell for this generous hook up. This beer is great. I was hoping it would be sour, and it wasnt, so I was a little let down, but it was still a great beer.

Bottled April 2008, poured into a snifter.
A- Amazingly fluffy Duvel style white and rocky head atop a perfectly pale yellow beer. Leaves great thick lacing and has superb retention.
S- Smells quite tart and rather barnyardish. I never tried this beer when it was released but I can't pick up any of the fig character in the smell or taste.
T- Exceedingly dry almost like a champagne. Not nearly as tart or sour as it smell (to my disappointment). I no expert on figs but the label said it imparts a Jam like flavor. There is really no sweetness left in this brew so I imagine that flavor has been fermented out by the brett. I the very end I begin to possibly pick up on the pepper which is not necessarily an unfamiliar flavor (it just seems to emphasis a saison like taste) and adds a very slight burn to the back of the throat only noticeable after drinking most of the bottle.
M- Not a bad mouthfeel I just felt it to be average. Light on the tongue, a little too dry and yet somewhat of a lingering aftertaste.
D- Decent drinkability really nice on a warm summer night or day with enough kick to make a 22oz worth the buck.

Had this on-tap at Trappeze in Athens.
Pours a murky yellow-orange color with a one-finger white head. The head dissipates fairly quickly into a wispy layer on top leaving some lacing.
Smells good - mild funkiness with an equal amount of fruit aromas - tart apples, pears, and citrus.
Tastes similar to how it smells. The funkiness isn't as pronounced, instead letting the fruit flavors do most of the work. Tart apples, pears, and citrus are all still there, slightly more on the sweet side but still with a solid tartness.
Mouthfeel is good. Good thickness with active carbonation make this go down smoothly.
Drinkability is good. The flavors, most notable the tartness, aren't overpowering. I could have more than one of these.
Overall this seems like it would be a good gateway wild ale - not too overdone on the funk or tartness. This is certainly not in the upper tier of sours by any stretch, but it's done well and is definitely worth a shot.

(Served in a tulip glass)
A- This beer pours a clear yellow body with a slight orange hue to it and a snow white head that is thin and sticky creeping up the glass with each sip.
S- Even during the pour there is a musty sweet funk of Brett. The notes of perfume flowers and grapefruit pith increase as the beer warms with a hint of wet straw coming through in the last glass.
T- This beer has some nice smooth tartness with grapefruit notes and a faint brie rind flavor. There is a light fruity tang to it aswell. The finish has a faint black pepper heat to it with some sweet jam flavor that appear after the finish and linger a bit. The finish has a nice white cheese flavor to it aswell.
M- This beer has a medium-light mouthfeel with a fizzy note at the finish that helps balance the sweet jam flavors. There is no alcohol heat noted.
D- This is my first 100%brett beer and it was interesting. The yeast flavors were wild and dominating and all the other flavors were really muted like figs, hibiscus,, white pepper and other spices but I was fine with that.

Poured a cloudy light orange...tangerine colored liquid with a nice full head of two fingers that melted quickly to a faint ring with no lacing.
Aroma is hard to identify...tobacco...funky bret...sour....sweet citrus peels.
Taste is equally hard to pin down. Very complex.
The sour is balanced very well with the sweet. For this old palette, it is too hard to identify. Much of the aroma is present in the taste including the tobaco and lots of drying hops at the end without the bitter bite usually associated with hops.
Nice dry mouth after the swallow. Overall a very enjoyable brew...difficult to describe...best described as ....'I like it...enjoyable...drying...satisfying.'

A: For some reason I was surprised by the light color of this beer. I was expecting it to be dark and cloudy but it poured a pleasant golden color with a half inch of froth that faded quickly leaving light lacing.
S: With Brett. being one of the stars of this show the bread/sourdough smell was expected. I also got hints of oranges, gas, & brine. My wife & her friend picked up more on fruit & cider.
T: The standouts were malt, sourness, and spice which seemed to blend together very well. The fig & hibiscus flavors are there but they are very subdued. The fig flavor came through as a sort of aftertaste- as in after you have eaten dried figs that were more dried than they should be- not a lot of sweetness. The hibiscus was very mellow- the hibiscus is the one of the reasons I thought this beer would be redder. I had just brewed a batch of hibiscus/Irish red homebrew where the hibiscus was a bit overpowering and sour. This was just a touch of floral and sour that worked very well.
I also noted an astringent flavor that made my tongue tingle slightly, I associate this flavor with a flower I have eaten but I can't recall the name, it looked similar to chamomile I think but edible marigolds and calendula have some similarities. The after taste of this beer was malt with a very pleasing blend of all those flavors listed above- Fantastic. My wife did not enjoy it; said it tasted of "scrumpy" (?) a cheap cider that welsh teenagers get drunk on. Her friend (female) enjoyed it noting more fruitiness than I did and told me I was crazy for the tingly tongue thing.
I felt this beer is very drinkable if you like sour. It has good body, nice carbonation, & seems to be a well thought out/crafted beer. I really did not taste the alcohol as I thought I would given the ABV & I'd like to pick some up for winter as it struck me as a nice Autumn/Winter beer. I had my second glass with my spaghetti marinara and it blended perfectly.

Pours a clear light amber with a ton of carbonation and a medium white foamy head. The heads not big,but it does leave good lacing. The smell is pungent with spices,alcohol,and bread yeast. The taste has a hop crispness followed with a sour bread yeast flavor,spices,alcohol, and some dark fruit aftertastes. The m/f is light with the flavors mixing well. A pretty good beer,not great, but better than some of the reviews.

Bottled in April, 2008. Let's see if the last three years have been kind to the Fifteen.
It pours into a goblet with an orange-copper color. The clarity is good but the head settles immediately. So, overall, this looks like cider.
At first the aroma reminds me of apple juice too but after a minute it starts to open up. The brett is subtle but noticible and there is a nice floral quality.
The flavor is pleasant and mild. It's not a hugely sour beer like many wild ales but it has a lot of complex flavors. There is orchard fruit, floral and herbal notes, and some pepper.
Mouthfeel is medium-light with a little too much carbonation. Alcohol is well-hidden.
Overall not a bad beer but not an exceptional one either. I think Avery has always had good 6-pack beers but has occasionally struggled with their "specials." This was not one of their best.

Take a refreshing break in one of these four hand-picked bolt-holes. From stately spa to beachside bliss, there's something to suit every budget, says Sophie Dening.
Gilpin Hotel & Lake House is family owned and run, but it's far more than simply a welcoming home from home. This is true English luxury: the 20 rooms are decorated with textiles from Zoffany and Brunschwig & Fils, the food is some of the best in the Lake District, and there's a ridiculous amount of beautifully designed space to roam around in. At the main hotel, the garden suites have private decks with hot tubs and views over woodland, waterfalls or the llama paddock. The Lake House itself (pictured) provides Gilpin's most private and luxurious accommodation. It has six suites, amazing views, and its own indoor pool and spa, with patio doors opening on to a lawn down to the lake and jetty; in summer, you can have spa treatments in a gazebo on the edge of Windermere. There's a rowing boat, canoe and dinghy to play with, not to mention 100 acres of woods and moorland. Doubles from £320 B&B.
Anne and Shaun Malindine have been running a B&B in Bristol for decades, and still take a lot of pleasure in making their house beautiful for their guests: Anne decorates the three bedrooms with cut flowers from the garden; Shaun makes the orange-and-ginger thins. Painted in Farrow & Ball colours, and hung with prints and etchings 'by people we know', Rosebery House is on a Georgian terrace, a short walk from both Clifton village and the harbour. Breakfast, served in the green/blue breakfast room, is impeccably 'local': apple juice and eggs from nearby farms, sausages made in Bristol by a small producer, bread from Mark's Bread, and Anne's own jams and marmalade. Doubles from £95 B&B.
This recently revamped boutique hotel isn't an architectural beauty, but who cares? The location is perfect for Camber's dunes and miles of beach, the interiors are stylish, and you can bring dogs. In the Beach Bistro, the chef makes the most of the region's superb produce: look out for Rye Bay scallops, salt-marsh lamb, and fish in Kent-ale batter. There are 18 rooms, all with driftwood furniture, L'Occitane products and a supply of shortbread; deluxe rooms have sofas as well as super king beds; and the beach hut suite has its own outdoor entrance. There's loads to do round here, from kite-surfing and seaside strolls to taking tea in Rye. Do bring a windcheater. Doubles from £135 B&B.
The faux-stately style of this member of the Exclusive Hotels group won't be for everyone, but provided you're not looking for urbe in rus chic, Pennyhill Park has two cracking trump cards. One is its gastronomic restaurant; the other is the monster spa, replete with no fewer than eight pools, indoor and out, including a 'ballroom pool' with underwater music, and hot tubs with jets as cruelly powerful as you like. Among the superbly appointed treatment rooms is a VIP suite, and rooms for two, where couples can cake each other with therapeutic clay. The bedrooms are plush, the suites more so, combining very good, handmade mattresses and conservative textiles with some gorgeous antiques and baronial views. Doubles from £335 B&B.

A Toledo man charged with raping a toddler was arraigned Monday morning, but not for the rape.
On April 24, police arrested Aubrey Dale Marshall, 55. He has been in jail ever since.
Court records show Marshall, who is already a convicted sex offender, did not register his address, which was a requirement after being convicted of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor back in 2003. Marshall faces felony charges for failing to register as a sex offender.
Police discovered Marshall moved two weeks after the most recent alleged rape occurred. However, since he did not have a lawyer, his arraignment was continued.
At his second court appearance April 25, Marshall was arraigned on two counts for rape of a victim under the age of 13, after allegedly raping a 2-year-old. The judge continued his bond of $2,050,000.
Marshall is due back in court May 7.

Q&A: Waverley
Define your genre in five words or less:
Fun, High Energy Grunge.
So, someone is walking past as you guys are playing, they then go get a beer and tell their friend about you... what do they say?
"Just saw a kick-arse gig going down in the bandroom, they just finished their second song. They sound kind of like a heavier Jebediah with more harmonies, and I think I have a crush on the drummer! We should check em out!"
How long have you been gigging and writing?
Waverley formed just before releasing their debut EP in early 2009 and have been writing and stage testing new material while gigging since then.
What has been your favourite gig you've played to date?
You'd probably get four different answers from four different guys on this one. It's been great to get the opportunity to play some of the bigger venues around town like Hi-Fi Bar and Billboard, but I think we have the best time when we play a smaller room that we know will be shoulder to shoulder and we can really communicate with the crowd.
Which band would you most like to have a battle/showdown with?
Calling All Cars for sure. We feel like we play a grungier, more dynamic style than the CAC guys, but we'd be pushing it to keep up with their freight train of a live show. And by pushing it I mean failing miserably. Those guys are giving bands in Australia a great name at the moment. You'd want to be at that gig… it would be intense!
What inspires or has influenced your music the most?
In our earlier material we really had a strong fixation on some pretty heavy emotions. We kind of used the band as a vehicle for getting some pretty bitter stuff off our chests, but lately we're really interested in the idea of turning some of those emotions on their head and seeing what happens if you come at things from different angles.
What do you think a band has to do these days to succeed?
I think we are at the stage where we have to take the decline of live music seriously. We have to work together and look after each other--across different genres and styles--to make gigs fun and social places so that more people would want to come and see bands in general.
Do you have any record releases to date? What? Where can I get it?
2009 EP They All Said We Wouldn't Last And You Proved Them Right – available on iTunes, as well as 2011 single Where Were You – selling at gigs and on iTunes from September 23.
Why should everyone come and see your band?
Our goal with live gigs is to bring back what we grew up on. When you'd go out to be entertained and watch a band that plays songs that speak directly to you.
When are you playing live/releasing your album/EP/single/etc?
We are releasing Where Were You, the first single from our debut mini-album on Friday September 23 at Yah Yah's

Bachelor Ben Flajnik is the laughing stock of America for getting romantically involved with model Courtney Robertson. After dumping several wonderful women on The Bachelor 2012 season so he could have more sex with the leggy brunette, he's not only made himself look like he was disingenuous with the show's production staff about the kind of relationship he was looking for, he appears to have tricked several the women who came on the show with their hearts open to the prospect of finding love with him.
On March 5th, 2012 the Women's Tell-All episode aired on ABC. The Bachelor 2012 show host Chris Harrison did his dead-level best to keep his own comments about the affair between Ben Flajnik and his mistress Courtney Robertson neutral, but it was clear that he was struggling to keep his mouth shut both to an about Ben. You could hear the tension in his voice when he questioned the women of the house about how they treated one another, but he was visibly not enchanted with the testimony of Robertson. The entire atmosphere of the house seemed to be poisoned by the woman who proclaimed herself "winning" all season.
This year's show has been the most troubling season since the show first aired. Clearly, the producers kept cameras rolling thinking that the scandals and sensationalism would sell like crazy — but they goofed. Ratings have been flat, viewers are outraged, and people who have watched the show for years swear that if Ben proposes on camera to the worst contestant that has ever been cast on any season they will never watch the show again. It's been a PR nightmare from start to finish — for the show, for the wine maker bachelor, and the venom Courtney put out on camera between seducing Ben and primping while getting ready to go on cam has even become an embarrassment for her family and alleged friends. [We know she has family but her claim that she's got friends in real life is dubious.]
As one previous show fan named Debbie says, "What a waste of a Bachelor. He should have just gone to Vehas [sic] and found a showgirl/arm candy to pump his sorry ego. I find this so pathetic. Like the Miss America swimsuit pageant. All looks and no substance! Ben deserves whatever misery Courtney brings his way. I hope they end up despising each other. Wouldn't it be kismet if he ended up begging Lindzi back? To all of the ladies on the final episodes; he isn't good enough for ANY of you!! Do not feel sad! You all are worth so much more than his shallow mentality. My heart breaks for all who suffered thru Ben!"
Harrison noted they were doing something unusual for the Women's Tell-All. He gave the troublemaker an opportunity to defend herself and apologize to the other women — as well as gave all the girls in the house to come clean about what was really happening between the women who were living together in the house on the various trips throughout the season. And, he let Ben talk to the girls to hear more from them.
Here's the recap — including what Ben and Courtney each had to say to the various women. But be forewarned — if you were expecting closure or for Ben or Courtney to show real remorse to those they hurt the most with their shenanigans, it didn't happen. Ben showed no empathy for the women he dumped or anything any of the women went through because of Courtney's wicked tongue and antics.
- Jamie the shy and awkward super-slut wannabe was so embarrassed watching her awkward footage of trying to coach Ben on how to romance her on cam, we felt a little bad watching. But, what did the girl expect? The only thing producers could have done better was to pan more tot he shocked faces of people in the audience. We felt sorry for her parents because she clearly had no idea what it means to court a man.
- Blakely really kicked it up a notch on night one, letting people know she was there to meet Ben — not make friends. Rachel was really offended, as was Jen. Samantha bragged that she made great friends with the other girls and claimed Blakely was a bully, but the waitress says she wished she had not had her guard up as much as she did. However, she said when she was in the moment, her priorities were to meet and fall in love with Ben. Claiming she could only be herself, she only did what she could. Samantha does not care what anyone says, she thinks Blakely was mean — but the other girls say it was she that was annoying and simply won't shut up. Calling out Samantha for being a barking Chihuahua, it was clear which girl was the bigger dog. We mean that in the most complimentary sense, though — Blakely might be Alpha, but we think she was truly there to play for love and did so with her whole heart.
- Shawntel got blasted by the girls when she tried to crash the season and the women were really upset when she again crashed the women's tell-all. She claimed Ben was everything she wanted in a love partner. When she found out he was the Bachelor, she called Chris Harrison and asked to be brought on the show to meet up with and marry Ben. The women who were already there and playing the game were as horrible to her as any one woman could be to another. They called her Brad's dumpster trash, insulted her saying she was much uglier in person, and they scared Ben so bad he sent her home. What a mistake that turned out to be for him, as his remaining women were Courtney and Lindzi in the final season. Shawntel the Funeral Director is still torn up emotionally by how they treated her. She's mortified by how they treated her and the horrible things that they said behind her back. Before the show she did not have body issues — now she is worried that people think she is ugly, a bitch, or has wide hips. Shame on the producers for hiring contestants who would act with such bitterness. Stuck in an impossible situation all the way around, Elyse was the first girl to offer a half-assed apology. Rachel said she feels a little guilty but blames Shawntel; Emily said there was a right way and a wrong way to approach the situation and thinks Shawntel approached the girls the wrong way by coming in to take Ben; Jaclyn said she was a bitch and defended herself; Erika said she was ugly, had big thighs, and was white trash. Emily defended her and said anyone who sees her knows she is stunning. We agree — but disagree that because she was prettier than anyone in the house that the other ladies should have viciously attacked Shawntel's looks, figure, or personal character. Shame on them! We would not wish those kinds of women as girlfriends or wives on anybody.
- Emily got filleted on the show by Courtney and Ben. She was a really pretty girl, had a good demeanor, and truly cared about what was going to happen to Ben in the future. She hates seeing people misled she says, and was the only one to tell Ben the truth about Courtney. Broken-hearted that Ben did not listen and let her go home thinking she had done something wrong, Emily got the sympathy of all nice girls in the world. She said once she said something about Courtney, Ben saw her as an antagonist from that point on and it killed their connection. At the same time, she says she would never want to end up with someone who would fall for what happened with Courtney. Ben only seemed to be interested in sex while Emily was only interested in a genuine relationship. To that end, she knows Ben was a bad match for her. When she told him her concerns, he told her to tread lightly and warned her that she did not know him as well as she thought she did. Emily put it nicely when she said that a man who she would want to be involved with would have told her thanks for coming to him with her concerns, that he respected her opinion and appreciated her willingness to confide in him. Emily said if Ben ended up with Courtney (like we all know he did thanks to spoilers), its his bed and he'll have to lie in it. Which, when you think about how much Courtney lied and lies to him is actually a great description about what the future with the megalomaniac model will be — a fitting end!
- Nicky was left alone in Switzerland in tears. The darling divorcee was madly in love with Ben. She thought he was beautiful and fun to be with; dating Ben made her realize how much she wanted to get married again. She confessed she was head over heels for him and he ditched her for Courtney. She was the fun and beautiful one though, and man did that boy blow it when he dumped her! The dental hygienist from Texas really loved him and the home town date convinced her he was the one. Chris Harrison brought up how natural the chemistry was between them, but Nicky thinks maybe he was too comfortable with her. She was shocked when he dumped her without cause, noting she had no clue the sudden dismissal was happening. She had the best response to Chris that any Bachelorette ever had — Nicky said she has questions for Ben about why they broke up but NOT about what she did wrong. Nicky says she knows she did not do anything wrong because she was 100% herself! And the audience agreed, cheered her, and offered huge applause.
- Kacie B the administrative assistant from Tennessee was the first one of the girls to tell Ben she was in love with him. A truly nice girl, she should have been one of the final two but their home town date seemed to wreck the relationship. She's likely to be the next Bachelorette because she was the most open to finding love on the program. She even flew to Switzerland to confront him about why they broke up and to tell him to be cautious with Courtney. Watching the show, she's learned that she and Ben have different core values because of where they are from geographically and their families. Kacie wants to fall in love again but with the right man the next time. Namely, not skirt chasing and duplicitous Ben.
- Courtney… oh dear. That woman is not even a hot mess. She's used her trout pout and lady bits to lure Ben away from women who really did love him so she could make herself rich and famous. She hurt and frustrated ever woman in the house except for her single loser mignon. And she's single-handedly done more damage to the producer's reputations than even Ashley H's frustrating crush creep Bentley Williams. Bringing her on the Women Tell All show before she and Ben are married in real life, she was on her best behavior (acting like she was the one who was wounded by all the other women), but it is really clear that nowadays when she is with Ben or on television she is play acting her emotions like a soap opera diva. Most viewers gut reaction is this woman is about as sincere as Rush Limbaugh was when he offered an apology to that college student he called a slut. Kacie B was the polar opposite of her — kind, sweet, genuine… but Ben likes nasty and insincere women apparently. Showing the recap of some of the things she said and ways she acted to the women makes some of the girls feel a bit sorry for Ben. When the day comes for her to switch that venom and direct it to him, can you imagine? What if they do get married and have kids? The power she will have to hurt him and the kids if they get divorced will be immense.
- Noting that Courtney seems to have a split personality, we had to give her her own bullet. Chris Harrison said the women were justifiably pissed. Lourtney blamed the women and said she came to the house not wanting confrontation. Blakely confronted her immediately about calling her a stripper and saying that sh was the kind of girl a boyfriend cheats with. The other women say her skinny dipping was absolutely trashy. She tried to back peddle about what she had done to Emily. Nicky confronted Courtney about what made her finally issue an apology — she said that realizing she was going to lose she apologized to Ben. At no point did she care about the harm she has done to the women. Kacie B confronted her about the constant jabs, and again Courtney blamed the women. Jen thinks the apology to ben was only to be top two; moreover, the girls unanimously say that the only reason Courtney was at the tell-all was to repair her image. The other women point out that everyone was just as nervous as Courtney but that did not make them lash out with verbal barbs or make them sneak around with Ben. Courtney sat and looked teary eyed, still blaming them for making her feel uncomfortable living in a house full of women and never owned the responsibility for initiating and saying all the nasty things about them. Since Ben believes her and not the other women despite overwhelming evidence he was being played for a fool, it makes him look like more of a villain — because after all, she's never claimed to be a good person. He has, and isn't. Now, she's claiming it is their fault for not trying to get to know her better and saying that them questioning her sincerity with Ben is hurtful. She says she is not a mean-spirited person and that the situation brought out the worst in her. Now, she claims the mean things said about her are starting to affect her family negatively. She offered a half-hearted apology to the women while blaming them, denying being mean, and saying she has to work on things. She's followed the playbook for an emotionally abusive person to wiggle out of a situation. When Blakely asked her to recant her words, she had to cover her mouth because she started to laugh. Then, the louder the women got, the more she wanted it to stop. She pretended to cry and apologized for hurting Ben. She claims she cared for and says she still does, but from the tone of her words, she and Ben — as the tabloid spoilers suggest — might have gone to the final rose ceremony for her to win the game, but there is a chance they have already broken up. By the time she exited to the limo she was not tearful at all — only when the cameras were rolling in front of the live studio audience did she seem to pretend cry about being sorry to the girls at all.
- Ben Flajnik started his bit saying, "Welcome to my nightmare." Not good. Jennifer asked why he sent her home and kept Blakely. Ben said he never compared one woman against another. If he was not feeling a connection, he sent the girls home early rather than later. Emily wanted to know why he gave her no closure — and Ben continued to blame HER for telling him about Courtney Robertson's split personality antics. Nicky is still blinded by love for Ben. She thinks he is the best guy ever… but he wants to know at what point in their journey his feelings for her ended. Ben claims he had no idea what was going on when he sent her home, but he was just going on instinct to ditch her and keep Courtney Robertson. He apologized to Casey S of all people for the curt way he sent her home. Jamie told him again she really liked him and gave him an open invite to hook up in the future. Chris Harrison said this had been the most unusual season ever. During the lighter moments video clip, Ben streaked in his vineyard. When the show panned back to him, he said, "See? That was not the only time I got naked." Insert appropriate eye roll at big LOSER man.
- WHO WILL BEN PICK TO BE HIS WIFE? He claims Courtney Robertson, the shallow and vacuous mean-spirited model is a nurturing and sincere woman. He claims she is the total package. He loves that she is quirky and weird and that he sees his life with this woman. Nicky watched their love-fest video clip segment shaking her head — like the rest of America, she knows Ben is and was totally being played all season. Kacie B knows the same thing and you can see it in her face. No one thinks he will propose to Lindzi Cox (the horse girl from the wealthy family). He describes her as someone he thinks is a firecracker. He liked her positive spirit and attractive for that reason. Nicky softened watching them together but lots of the other women rolled their eyes hearing Ben describe his relationship with her; everyone knows he's just setting her up to leave heartbroken in the end. Poor Lindzi (like the rest of the women) most likely won't see the end coming. She truly wants to settle down and spend her life with someone, but there is really no way he could have a better relationship with her than he did with Nicky or Kacie B… and you see where that got them. To that end, having Courtney on the show to the end was not only unfair to do to the other women who were there for the right reasons, Ben has done indelible damage to his own personal and professional reputation (as no one in the future could ever trust his judgement about business dealings with other humans). Ultimately, one can only turn off the television knowing that Ben Flajnik following his vanity and lust helped him pick the exact kind of woman who would hurt him in a split minute — and will.
You don't need to be a psychic to make that kind of prediction. She will only be sweet as long as he has something to offer her that she wants — whether that be fame, fortune, or a whipping boy who will babysit her and indulge every whim remains to be seen.
All we know is we feel sorry for his family, as they are likely to end up being treated the same way Courtney treated the rest of the women — his mother is especially at risk of being ousted. Next target sisters and women friends. Then business partners… she will weed friends and family out of his life until she has total control.
Then, if he acts up, she'll divorce him, take all his money if they are married, and would only use kids to manipulate him for child support and to break his spirit. Will Ben have a season two like the previous Bachelor Brad Womak did?
If they re-hire him, they are likely to have such poor ratings no one will ever take the reality show seriously again.
ABC — if you are listening — never cast a Bachelor who is such a bad kisser ever again. That smacky-slurpy lip thing he's done with all the women is disgusting… especially because you keep failing to mute his nasty sound effects. And don't cast contestants that act anything like Courtney Robertson. She might be pretty on the surface, but she's even lower than The Bachelorette villain Bentley Williams for staying and playing the game. At least he had the decency to reach a certain level of fame, then quit.

A family from a Cleveland suburb has a problem. They see dead people. Dead people doin' it.
"It look like, like ghosts having sex in my living room," according to Euclid resident, Dianne Carlisle. "They are having sex, you can see the lady's high heeled shoes!"
Dianne claims her 4 year old granddaughter even took pictures of the dirty living-dead deed. Somebody needs to call the Ghostbusters and child services.

Some Loose Ends to Say Before The Fall Terms Finishes – S2E15
This is not the end yet, I just wanted to say that it has been a fun term taking three of Peter Hogdins' classes. Although, I am not sure how I will do after the exams. It has been a blast.
Some loose ends. I've been bombarded with questions by people within Canadian Studies asking me if I "live" in the Canadian Studies Lounge and "why are you always there?" The answer is no. Here's my reason, I did not expect the 12th floor of Dunton Tower to have wireless Internet access around the 2nd or 3rd week of September. I usually hang out at the tunnels or the library, if there is space. It's ridiculous finding a place to sit. Also, the readings for Peter's 4th year classes are in the lounge so I can read them through. Another thing is that I can never live without the Internet.
The funny thing is that I made it 5 days to going to the lounge. As usual, I only have class 4 days a week because I don't have class on Wednesdays. All I can say it was good timing that I saw someone and showed him my comics.
To people from CDNS2210, CDNS4200 and CDNS4400, I gotta say that you all are great and I will probably miss you since I won't be seeing anyone in the Winter term.
Even though, I ended up getting hurt on occasion for Thursday's class.
Since it is this time of year when music artists come out with their greatest hits album.
Here it is, U218 Singles. I got it on iTunes and I can't stop listening to it on my iPod. The Deluxe version on iTunes includes live tracks from the 2005 Milan concert.
Back to Back Entry – S2E14
Don't ask why, but "someone" told me to make another entry for my blog. I know entering my blog has been sporadic at times due to my unusual scheduling at Carleton. I made an entry on Thursday, so this is a rarity of sorts. So yeah, this person wanted to give a "shout out" and we were messaging while I was in class, the Friday morning class. Also, mentioned about Target's Choxie.
Whoever I tagged (A Facebook.com "exclusive"), you will find out who tagged or not :D
Onto the other class (the Friday afternoon class). Peter Hodgins' Cultural Landscape and Cultural in Canada. It was an interesting and fun today because before class, Peter opened up some food from another floor in Dunton Tower. Somehow, there was a conference and the people over-ordered food. It was nice to have wraps and fruits. It's been the second time(not in a row) that there happens to be "free" food in the Canadian Studies department. It seems that Peter is synonymous with his laughter and "love" with food.
Now, with class. I dunno why, but I was the "savior" because my Apple laptop(Macbook pro) worked on the projector. Sorry to PC fans, I know you are not a fan of Apple Computers.
Also, I can't stop laughing with the songs I played from my iPod and iTunes. A grad student was singing along and it was funny.
Here's the playlist;
The Saints Are Coming (Live from New Orleans) – U2 & Green Day. "Someone" did not know what song I was playing. I hope this helps, LOL
A bit of "Maneater" by Nelly Furtado. A small way to hype up her performance at the Grey Cup.
Jump – Madonna
Hungry Like The Wolf – Duran Duran
West End Girls – Pet Shop Boys
Don't Look Back in Anger – Oasis
My Girl – The Temptations
I also hope no one was curious about the album art screen saver. I don't mind it, but I am embarrassed if anyone was wondering about the Chinese ones. :)
A step back from Thursday night, I am wondering if the Canadian TV group recovered from drinking too much beer. :)
Rain Rain, Thursday – S2E13
I am not liking this weather lately. What's with the rain? This ain't Vancouver. I had been wearing a different shoe and it made me look tacky. Blue shoes and for the long time, I decided to wear a shoe that is not adidas.
Well, enjoyed a nice presentation on Canadian Television in CDNS4200 aka Canadian Popular Culture. I hope I am not sucking up. I couldn't stop laughing with the Kids in the Hall clips. Though, I really wanted to see the "Street Legal" opening. :) "Post" presentation, I decided to go to Mike's Place and chill out with the presentation and with Peter. Plus some "guest cameos". Originally, I was suppose to take the bus to downtown and take the express bus, but I decided to go to Mike's Place instead. Supposedly, I was planning to stick around for a bit, but decided to stay longer because it was interesting to hear about what people are talking about.
It was entertaining and fun having to show a Youtube video of Diet Coke & Mentos. Geez, I don't even bother watching "gross out" videos. I watch "vintage" music videos from Hong Kong.
It was funny to hear some good stories from the prof, Peter Hodgins (I have to put his full name on this entry for Google purposes) and from the gang in the class.
Though, I still haven't got over the other Hodgins class from last Friday. It was just bizarre.
Comic picks. Finally, Civil War #5 came out and I was partially surprised to see a Marvel character make a "truimph" return to the Marvel Universe. Lately, that "person" hasn't been in the mainstream Marvel Universe.
Another favorite comic is Astonishing X-Men #18. The conclusion to "Torn." Gotta hand it to Joss (Buffy, The Vampire Slayer) Whedon and John (Planetary) Cassaday for an "astonishing" story.
Other picks are 100 Bullets #78 and New Avengers #25.
Last point, I am still enjoying my Macbook Pro. :D
I also never expected someone to be using Bluetooth during CDNS4200 class and "try to steal" songs on my laptop. Well, you can't use my songs because it's protected. It's from the iTunes Store. Too bad, so sad. :D
What a Weird Friday – S2E12
I don't know how to explain it, but in Peter Hodgins' CDNS4400 class, it became strange because the one presentation was a one man show and somehow the partner for the presentation showed up late and then left like 15 mins later.
It was a bizarre time in class because of it. I looked at Peter and he was clueless and I acting puzzled myself. I looked at others if there were looking surprised as well. It was just downright bizarre on Friday.
As usual for myself, Friday is always my brutal day because of waking up early and going for early morning class and then the afternoon. I know it's depressing to have a Friday afternoon class.
After the short class, a few of us, including the prof. went to Mike's Place and it was enjoyable and nice to hear "interesting" stories.
Last thing, this entry will be Googled if you type "Peter Hodgins" :)
Comic picks from this past Wednesday.
Batman #658. All I will say that I was pretty disappointed with it. The final part of Grant Morrison and Andy Kubert's first run on the Cape Crusader ended on a flat note.
Two other comics I picked weren't from this week, they were from October. The Authority #1 (Another Grant Morrison comic) and Civil War: Choosing Sides.
Macbook Pro and Presentation – S2E11
Well, I am happy and partially relieved that I got my Macbook Pro and did the CDNS4200 presentation.
It couldn't come at a right time with the new laptop. It arrived on Wednesday and I was just happy to getting it. I still need to get used to the two finger scrolling and etc.
I don't know what to say, I am pretty sore from the tumble I had before class started. I thought I wasn't in any pain but after leaving Dunton Tower, I was feeling sore on my left leg.
All in all, I guess the presentation went well. Humourous or not, it was enjoyful using the remote control to use the presentation slides.
Now, it's time to try writing essays soon. It is crunch time.
Comic picks for this week. Criminal #2, Justice League of America #3 and American Virgin #8. Action Comics #844, which I picked up, but was released last week.

The array of solar panels all facing south give the appearance of a shimmering lake. And by late December, the 300,000 solar panels, each roughly the size of a 46-inch flat screen television near the Maryland Correctional Institution-Hagerstown off Roxbury Road, are expected to generate a peak of 20 megawatts of power per hour.

Solar Energy Is Ready. The U.S. Isn't
Clean energy has become a dirty word in presidential politics. In their second debate, Mitt Romney and Barack Obama each tried to outdo the other's love of fossil fuels: Obama extolling his record on oil and natural gas production, Romney vowing to take "advantage of the oil and coal we have here." The Republican candidate has ridiculed the administration's $535 million loan guarantee to Solyndra, the bankrupt California-based solar panel maker, and accused Obama of living "in an imaginary world where government-subsidized windmills and solar panels could power the economy."
Cities Enticed by Pay-if-You-Save Energy Deals
WHEN the city of Brea, Calif., about 25 miles southeast of Los Angeles, set out to reduce its carbon emissions and save money on energy costs, the challenge was the same faced by many other cities nationwide: allocating the funds to pay for the program.
Democrats Seek to Aid Solar With Control of Arizona Board
Arizona Democrats are vying to wrest control of the state utility board so they can expand the use of solar energy in the nation's sunniest state.
Ikea uses sun, wind to become energy independent
Energy independence by 2020? The idea has been touted on the U.S. presidential campaign trail, but global home furnishings retailer Ikea is announcing plans Tuesday to achieve that goal with solar and wind power.
First Solar Rises as Permit Resolved on Los Angeles Plant
First Solar Inc. the biggest maker of thin-film solar panels, climbed the most since June 12 after receiving permission to continue construction on a $1.36 billion power project in Los Angeles County.
Savvy Consumer: Renewable Energy Has Also Become Affordable
The heat is taking over in North Texas, and that means higher electric bills and probably more air pollution.
But there is an alternative to those problems to consider the next time your electric plan is up for renewal: Switch to a renewable energy plan.
First Solar Gets L.A. County Go-ahead for Massive Solar Site
First Solar Inc. is restarting work on one of the biggest construction projects in Los Angeles County after resolving a code conflict with the public works department.
Adding Solar To The Grid Can Help Electricity Challenges In Texas
As Texas braces for predicted tighter electricity reserves and higher electricity rates this summer, a new report from the Brattle Group shows that adding solar capacity to the Texas electric grid would result in lower wholesale electricity prices for customers in the state.
Feds OK 1st major solar plant on tribal land; project planned for reservation outside Vegas
Federal officials have approved a solar plant on an Indian reservation outside Las Vegas, marking the nation's first commercial-grade solar energy project on tribal land and new territory for the Obama administration's renewable energy agenda.

Where were you the last time the Los Angeles Galaxy lost a game? Can you remember anything about May 1? It was quite a long time ago, after all. How about the other time the Galaxy lost, back on March 26?
It's really nothing short of remarkable what the Galaxy have managed to accomplished this year, seemingly without too many people expressing their amazement. Let's take a closer look, shall we?
Just as impressive is their lack of losses over the past 14 games is the way they've been doing it. The Galaxy have now won eight of 12 and outscored their opponents 19-5. They've done this while only getting minimal contributions from Designated Player Juan Pablo Angel, missing Landon Donovan for four games and lacking the services of goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts for seven of the past eight games. Add it up and you have a team that is not only leading the Supporters' Shield by three points, but one that is on as impressive a run as any in MLS.
Those two teams they lost to, by the way, were two of the league's better teams. Against teams currently outside of playoff qualification, they are 6-0-6, including a 3-0 win over the Portland Timbers, the team they visit tonight.
The Timbers really do not look like the kind of team that is going to halt the Galaxy's impressive run. After a nice start at home, they have gone winless in their past six games at home (0-4-2). Overall, they've won just one of their past 10 (1-7-2) and have been outscored 20-11. A win would be among the biggest upsets of the seasons.
TV: ESPN. Time: Wednesday, 10:30 p.m. Pick: Galaxy, 2-0.
Sporting Kansas City vs. Real Salt Lake, 8:30 p.m., Wednesday
It has been more than two months since Sporting lost a MLS game, an impressive run of form no matter the circumstances. The reality, though, is that the bulk of that run has been against teams that will likely miss the playoffs as seven of those 13 games have come against teams will little hope of making the playoffs. Real Salt Lake should provide their best test, at least at recently christened Livestrong Sporting Park. RSL is coming off a rare home loss and will no doubt be looking to get back on form, perhaps with some lineup tweaks. Pick: Tied 1-1.
Chicago Fire vs. Philadelphia Union, 9 p.m., Wednesday
For all the talk of the job Frank Kloppas has done in turning around the Fire since taking over for Carlos de los Cobos, they have just one win in nine games under their new coach. There's been some improvement, no doubt, but there is still a lot of work for Kloppas to do, especially on the offensive side where the Fire have produced all of five goals during his tenure. Facing a defensive team like the Union hardly seems to be a recipe for success even if the Union are going to be missing Sheanon Williams. Pick: Union 1-0.
