Despite failing to score a single point in the second half, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish held on for a 14-10 victory over the USC Trojans in South Bend. USC had a chance for a game-winning touchdown drive, but Nelson Agholor couldn't quite hang on to Cody Kessler's pass on fourth down, and the Fighting Irish were able to run out the 41 seconds that remained on the clock.
The Trojans moved the ball well on their first three possessions, scoring a touchdown, a field goal and getting in position for another field goal (which was missed). But from there, the Trojans were completely shut down by the Notre Dame defense. It didn't help matters that star wideout Marqise Lee left the game with yet another knee injury.
Down 10-7 in the second quarter, Tommy Rees' 11-yard touchdown strike to T.J. Jones gave Notre Dame a 14-10 lead and all of the points that it would need to keep USC at bay.
Box Score Hero: In a game that had just over 600 yards of total offense, nobody was exactly lighting up the stat sheet, but Notre Dame running back Cam McDaniel had himself a nice game, gaining 92 yards on 18 carries.
Rankings Ramifications: Notre Dame wasn't ranked coming into this week, but they did earn a fair amount of votes in both polls. They should move into the 20s in next weeks polls.
But Did They Cover? Notre Dame was favored by four points, so it was a push.

The anarchists that sank Greece into a near state of chaos late last year are now taking aim at the Church: Greece is seeing an unprecedented spate of terrorist attacks against churches. Among the churches that were hit, in one case during religious service, were the Athens Metropolitan Church, the Piraeus Metropolitan Church, and the Church of St. Demetrios in Thessaloniki. Greek media have described these attacks, the likes of which Greece has not seen even when the country was under occupation, as a "declaration of war against the Church of Greece." All of the bombs were defused in time and only one, at Agia Triada in Pireaus, caused minor damage. The organization "Conspiracy of the Nuclei of Fire – Commandos" along with "The Nihilist Faction" assumed responsibility for the attack and in a manifesto claimed "Religion is a mechanism of power that plays a particularly devious role in subjugating people." Authorities in Greece are taking the attacks very seriously, especially in … [Read more...]

What's your process for managing clients?
I'm new to the forums and relatively new to freelancing. From my experience so far, I'm finding the hardest part is managing leads / clients. Do you have a successful process for client management that you can share?
This has been my process (more or less) so far:
1. Make first contact with a lead
2. Send portfolio of items that relate to the potential project (I'm a PHP developer, so I send links to websites and sample code if requested)
3. Discuss project objective with lead via phone / email
4. Send a proposal by email - usually hacked from a Word template that I've used for another client
5. Follow up with the lead to answer questions / confirm their interest
6. Send a PDF contract for them to sign and return
7. Collect deposit if agreed upon
8. Begin work on project - very little communication happens during the work phase
9. If it's an hourly project, jot hours down on a timesheet and send invoices (another Word template) periodically
10. Send URL of work-in-progress to client for review
11. Follow up with client, get signoff
12. Install project on client's server
13. Send final bill and wait patiently for a check
These are the issues that I'm facing:
- I feel extremely disorganized. Each time I share a portfolio, I gather resources to send and it seems like I'm doing duplicate work. For proposals / contracts, editing Word documents seem kludgy at best. Communication with the client is spread across many emails (and phone calls that aren't even tracked).
- Clients change their minds. It's a problem with scope as well as flip-flopping on features. Then I need to dig up an old email to "prove" to them that they originally asked for "A", not "B".
- Need to drag clients through the process. I'm often waiting for feedback from a client that puts development on hold. And getting them to pay for work that is already done can be like pulling teeth.
- Lack of transparency for the client. While I'm working on the project, it would be helpful if the client knew what was going on. I think part of the reason that they drag their feet is because they don't realize all the work that I put into their project.
So, any insight into whether you deal with the same issues or how you have mastered a process that works for you? Also, is there any software that will help manage the whole process? I know there are tools for certain aspects, like BaseCamp or Freshbooks, but I'm wondering if there's an overall magic bullet that takes care of everything?

What I use as a freelancer is a small Application called Billings, which lets you create customers, projects etc, for billing, then I use an online project management tool called "Collabtive", which is open source, so you can install it free on your server, this lets you handle milestones and stuff like that, you can even create a user for your customer, so he can see what's going on, and there is included instant messenger, so you can chat with your customer, if he has questions.
If you're using mac etc, there is a program called TextExpander, you can create default mails, documents and so, where it will fill in information you just provide - This is good for proposal or contracts
Taking contact with your customer is often time-consuming, also because many customers don't know much about the subject, so you really need to explain to the customer how everything works. But yeah, for me, I even have snippets in TextExpander, that contains information, what hosting, domains, databases, and stuff like that is, and a good way to explain it.
A tip, when you take contact to a customer, is to focus on one subject, if they only ask for 1 subject, the customer gets easy confused if you write about different subjects in same mail.. At least what experience I have.

Generally, Keep the client busy and engage them early. This helps with finding issues earlier on and also if you're late with delivering. I've never had a client complain about a deadline, if there was things to do for themselves.
On a more formal side, do you also have lots of fixes to do at the end of a project? You may need to spend more time on project planning, risk analysis and daily smoke tests may help you engage the client and reduce your bug rate.

So much of our Ability to help a client Is rooted in their level of organization. So some of our best clients are those clients who Organize their work in documents That are easy to understand. Things like chat can be Very inefficient. if a client wants something big, we first insist that they spend time creating clear instructions. with out this week generally will not accept a large project.
As for billing, We simply charge per hour. Our top programmers Are always fully booked. That is 1 of the reasons Why we will only Give them a new job When the instructions provided By the customer Are very clear. Otherwise, We are wasting valuable Programming time That could be used Actually doing work.
So as you can see, We expect a lot From our customers. And that means They can expect A lot more from us.PHP Link Directory Script -easy to create and profitable too

Of all of the new teams the Bearcats have the most history with Houston, and its not even close. The two schools have played 21 times over the years. The schools played in 13 of 19 seasons between 1957 and 1975 with Houston winning 10 of those. After 75 it would be 18 more years before the cats hooked up again, this time in Conference-USA.
The Bearcats dominated the match up during the C-USA era winning 6 of the 8 contests. Now it is back after a 12 year hiatus thanks to conference realignment. Houston will be the best team the Bearcats will face on the road this season. A win heading into the pre Louisville bye is going to be crucial.

The senior signal-caller completed 16 of 24 passes for 267 yards and four touchdowns, and ran the ball nine times for 136 yards and another score.
Fendley kept the ball on a read-option play and ran through the left side of Cordova's defense 10 yards for a touchdown on the game's opening drive.
Good Hope's next drive ended on a 20-yard touchdown pass from Fendley to Kainan Smith.
A bad snap to the punter caused Cordova to turn the ball over near midfield on the ensuing drive, and the Raiders needed only four plays to find the end zone when Fendley hooked up with Smith on a screen pass for a 45-yard touchdown.
Good Hope extended its lead to 28-0 with 3:08 left in the first half when Crumbley raced down the right sideline past the defense to haul in a 31-yard touchdown pass in the end zone.
Fendley's final touchdown, late in the third quarter, was a 24-yard screen pass to Justin Turner.
Cordova struggled to move the ball consistently, gaining 184 yards in the game, while Good Hope rolled up 497 yards of total offense.
Charles Woods led the Blue Devils with 73 yards on seven carries. Skylar Thomas caught three passes for 17 yards, including a four-yard touchdown from quarterback Jonathan Shumate with 21 seconds left in the second quarter.
Smith was Good Hope's leading receiver, catching five passes for 90 yards and two touchdowns. Crumbley had four receptions for 87 yards and a score, and Turner had two catches for 28 yards and a touchdown.
Running back Jared McClure had a busy night for the Raiders. He carried the ball nine times for 30 yards and caught three passes for 46 yards.
Cordova (2-6, 1-5) hosts Hanceville next week.
Winston County's playoff hopes came to an end at Hamilton High School on Friday night as the Aggies earned a 41-7 win over the Yellow Jackets.

With the win, Hamilton kept pace with Hanceville atop the region standings. Hanceville owns the tie-breaker over the Aggies thanks to a 26-12 victory in Week 3.

We flew into New Orleans Saturday afternoon before the cruise and stayed at the Embassy Suites in the French Quarter near the port.
The Embarkation was fast and easy, by far the quickest boarding time I have ever experienced. Our bags did not get to our rooms till about 4.
Days at sea:
The first two days at sea were lots of fun and filled with lots of activities.
Roatan was a beautiful island. We took the carambola gardens and island tour which I highly recommend. The tour gave a lot of insight into the lives of the people living on the island.
We took the Sergeant's cay snorkeling excursion, we didn't get to see much of the city but the water was beautiful.
We opted not to take an excursion in Cozumel due to the wide variety of activities available. It was beautiful there.
We fit 4 people into an interior room, it was very cramped so I think we will opt for 2 rooms next time.
Debarkation: debarkation was swift and easy, we were on the bus about 15 minutes after we were called to leave.

Earlham's publications — from postcards and stationery sets to the Earlhamite alumni magazine and the Curriculum Guide — are created with great attention to high quality appearance and content. Supporting the goals of other offices and serving their needs, our staff provides the campus with design and layout services, applying standards for graphic and written content. In addition, we help the campus control the quantities, timeliness and costs of items ordered.
The Marketing and Communications Office provides several services to campus departments, faculty and staff.
Every publication has a purpose. The office is dedicated to providing materials that emphasize institutional messages, reinforce the College's graphic standards, publicize Earlham events and programs, encourage and inform prospective students and Earlham alumni, and assist every department on campus in reaching specific audiences.
Depending on the scale of your printed publication, the time required will vary. For most pieces, the initial planning meeting must be scheduled eight weeks before the completed publication is needed. During that planning meeting, we will discuss:
More elaborate jobs, such as projects consisting of several separate pieces, will require more time. Please consult with us on your project's specific needs.
Adhering to standard deadlines helps ensure that your final product is accurate, timely and affordable. We depend upon a variety of outside vendors to print our publications, and their schedules hinge upon their clients' cooperation.
We ask that any materials you give us be as accurate and complete as possible. While we provide careful proofreading as one of our services, you bear the final responsibility for your publication's accuracy. If your department has already proofread and corrected your text, we can process your publication much more quickly.

Troy Williamson has had his opportunities in the NFL and he has blown them. Since being the heir to Randy Moss when picked 7th in 2005, Williamson showed that he was no Randy Moss, and that instead he was a bust.
Then after being sent to the Jaguars, he talked about wanting to "meet at the 50 yard line and go at it" with his ex-coach Brad Childress. Doesn't breed much confidence, does it?
But the Jags have needed to stretch their offense and Williamson is the kind of player that can do that. Vito Stellino of Jacksonville.com says:
Now that he might have a deep threat at wide receiver in Troy Williamson, offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter is ready to take the handcuffs off the Jaguars offense.
Williamson will line up opposite of Torry Holt against the Colts and will have some chances for long receptions. If he can hold onto them, he may be worth something this year in fantasy land. Don't expect consistency, but he could blow up for some big games if the defenses have to focus too much on Maurice-Jones Drew and Torry Holt.

They benefit from growing in soils with good drainage, good gas exchange capacity, a healthy food web, and fungal dominance.
Ross Gay and H. Michael Simmons teach you how to evaluate soils through testing and how to improve them with rock powders, cover cropping, mulching, and the use of compost and compost tea.

Dear Symbian Developers,
It has been apparent for quite a while now that the Meego os on the Nokia N9 has now become "dead", if i may use the term. It lacks the application support you would get on other symbian devices. Why not work on a Symbian based os for this landmark device?

Many families across Mississippi are still struggling with the economic downturn we have experienced. Families with children in college find it tough to pay for tuition and all the other fees associated with a college education. Now the college board has given approval for a 14% increase over the next two years at state colleges.
Almost every year, the cost goes up. Because of that, the number of young Mississippians who can afford to go to college goes down. Add the yearly increases in room and board and it's even more expensive.
If businesses told their customers they were going up 14% in two years, there would be a huge outcry with customers looking for other suppliers.
College officials say state funding has been cut, and the increases are needed to make up the difference. But placing the burden on the backs of students and their parents is not the answer. If this keeps up, only those with wealthy parents will be able to afford go to college.
We have a better idea. Colleges should do what every other business and government agency in America has done. Cut back, and do more with less. Tough economic times call for tough choices. Now is the time to make them,
That's our opinion, we would like to hear yours. Email your thoughts to firstname.lastname@example.com, or post your comments below.

After serving two years in prison for attempted possession of a weapon and tax evasion, Ja Rule has written a book about his life, 'UnRuly: The Highs and Lows of Becoming a Man.'
"I wanted to be as authentic as possible," said Ja Rule. "There are a lot of young men who grew up the same way I did; who may not have the same outlet that I had. Hopefully, when they read my book they can get a sense of hope. The book has a lot of that."
While in federal prison, the artist who had sold more than 30 million records, who had known fame at itshighestt levels at only 22 years old, changed his perception on life.
"Before I went into prison I was sliding down a slippery slope. When I went to prison I got a chance to be by myself. I discovered a lot about myself and the people I was hurting. When I was in prison all I wanted was to have a good tooth brush or good toilet paper. I wanted to be at my kids' games," said JaRule.
The husband and father of three is more focused than ever on his family. His favorite songs are those he's written with family in mind: 'Daddy's Little Baby,' which he wrote for his daughter; and 'Put It On Me,' written for his wife.
Ja Rule returns to Queens on Tuesday, July 1 to sign copies of 'UnRuly.' He'll be at the Barnes & Noble at Utopia Center in Fresh Meadows at 7 p.m.

Lucerne is both the geographical and historical heart of Switzerland. Names and places here are long and Germanic sounding and if you're planning on ordering a beer in the local lingo, you need to remember to the verb at the end of the sentence put.
Resorts, like everything else in the region, are centred around the lake and with 18-or-so to choose from, there's pretty much something for everyone. The two highlights of the region are Andermatt's 40km trail and the 12km, 2,000 metre descent from the Titlis to Engelberg. Neither are for the faint-hearted, but if you hate short runs and long queues, you should be in your element here.

Act 175 of the General Assembly makes hazing a criminal offense within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. "Hazing" is defined in the law as:
Any action or situation which recklessly or intentionally endangers the mental or physical health or safety of a student for the purpose of initiation or admission into or affiliation with any organization operating under the sanction of an institution of higher education. The term shall include, but not be limited to, any brutality of a physical nature, such as whipping, beating, branding, forced calisthenics, exposure to the elements, forced consumption of any food, liquor, drug or other substance, or any other forced physical activity which could adversely affect the physical health and safety of the individual, and shall include any activity which would subject the individual to extreme mental stress, such as sleep deprivation, forced exclusion from social contact, forced conduct which could result in extreme embarrassment, or any other forced activity which could adversely affect the mental health or dignity of the individual. For purposes of this definition, any activity as described in this definition upon which the initiation or admission into or affiliation with an organization is directly or indirectly conditioned shall be presumed to be "forced" activity, the willingness of an individual to participate in such activity notwithstanding.
Hazing is deemed criminal misconduct and is made a third degree misdemeanor, punishable by a year's imprisonment. 24 P.S. 5353 (Purdon's Leg. Service); 18 P.S. 1101. Colleges and universities are expressly authorized to suspend, expel, or fine students who engage in hazing, and to withhold grades and diplomas to compel payment of fines. 24 P.S. 5354(3) (Purdon's Leg. Service).
The object of the law is to ensure that no student at a Pennsylvania college or university, public or private, is subjected to physical or mental harm as a condition of joining, affiliating, or holding membership in fraternities, sororities, or other officially recognized student organization. An organization and its members are engaged in hazing if it engages in any activity, for purpose of initiation or continuing membership, which recklessly or intentionally endangers the physical or mental health of a student. This means any potentially dangerous forced physical activity; any activity which could cause a student to suffer extreme mental stress, as well as any other form of forced activity potentially harmful to the mental health or dignity of a student. Hazing activities include, but are not limited to, the following: whipping, beating, branding, forced calisthenics, exposure to the elements; forced consumption of any food; liquor, drugs (legal or illegal), or other substance; sleep deprivation, forced exclusion from social contact; conduct which could result in extreme embarrassment; and/or nudity, coerced sexual activity, confinement, physical restraints, or mental harassment. An organization and its student members are also engaged in hazing if pledge, initiation, or continuing membership activities cause the willful destruction or removal of public or private property.
Act 175 provides that no student can consent to being hazed. Any activity falling within the definition of hazing activities is considered to be a forced activity, subjecting the organization and its members to the full range of penalties. In compliance with Act 175 and in accordance with long-standing policy, Clarion University has the following regulation: All activities of student groups and organizations, including pledging and initiations, shall be conducted in such a way as not to embarrass or injure participants or in any way adversely reflect upon Clarion University. Hazing and one-way initiation rides are prohibited. Conducting pledging activities at strip mine sites are prohibited.
In general, the following acts would constitute violations of the university regulation on hazing:
- 1. Conducting activities which are abusive and/or humiliating to participants.
- 2. Coercing participation in disagreeable, objectionable, and/or embarrassing activities, and
- 3. Engaging in activities defined by law as hazing.
Several factors need to be understood relative to violations of the university regulation. Firstly, the test for determining if an activity was abusive or humiliating does not rest solely on the reactions of the participants. If it is evident that such was the intent of the activity or the result of the activity, it would be hazing whether or not the participants believed the activity was hazing. Secondly, if continuation of pledging, initiation, or membership was contingent upon participation in an activity, that participation in effect coerced. Should the activity be disagreeable, objectionable, or embarrassing to a participant, it would be hazing. Thirdly, the consent of the participant has no effect upon the determination of the activity being recognized as hazing.
Additional guidelines for determining the hazing potential of an activity are:
- 1. The activity is liable to be harmful because it involves improper or wrongful use of something.
- 2. The activity is liable to result in injury because the intent is to create an element of danger or fear.
- 3. The activity involves deliberate maltreatment of participants.
- 4. The activity is liable to be harmful due to negligence or lack of knowledge on the part of those conducting it.
- 5. The activity would be degrading of participants because it would subject them to public shame, scorn, or ill-repute.
- 6. The activity involves something which the participants would not freely do because of its offensiveness or unpleasant elements.
It should be remembered that university regulations are also violated by:
- 1. Activities which are dangerous, either by their nature or the conditions under which they are conducted, and
- 2. Activities in which the possibility of injury to participants is evident.
Any organization found to have engaged in hazing may have its official recognition permanently revoked. Any student who participates in hazing may be fined, suspended, or expelled from the university. Hazing is also a criminal offense. Any student who participates in hazing may be arrested and prosecuted. Conviction may result in a jail term of one year in addition of any other applicable penalty under the Pennsylvania Crimes Code.

Narrow your search
With its powerful processor, great camera, decent screen and gorgeous, waterproof design, the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact is the best small Android phone around.
With its aluminium body, high-quality digital audio amplifier, and ability to play lossless audio files, the Sony NWZ-Z10 is an MP3 player for the dedicated audiophile that demands top-quality sound.
The Xperia Z1S is the most impressive smartphone Sony has ever sold on any carrier, but an inferior screen makes Samsung's Galaxy handsets better deals.
With a large sensor and high-quality lens, the RX10 promises great photo quality. But its feature set may not match what many folks are looking for.
Sony's flagship Xperia Z1 packs a Full HD display, a quad-core processor, and a whopping 20.7-megapixel camera into a waterproof body and wraps it in an aluminium frame.
This USB tuner means Xbox One owners can watch TV via their console without switching TV input, and use voice controls too.
Pricing not available
The Xbox One Media Remote is a must-have accessory that makes it much easier to accept a gaming console as the hub of your living room.
It's true that Sony's MDR-1R headphones come with a lofty price tag, but if you're searching for highly accurate-sounding headphones with style and substance, they deserve your attention.
The cheaper, no-Kinect version of the Xbox One gives buyers a better deal by eliminating the one part of the console they probably didn't want to begin with -- but the PS4 remains a compelling alternative.
Sony's HT-XT1 sound stand is packed with features, looks sleek, and sounds great, making it a no-brainer upgrade over your TV's built-in speakers.

Sally Swartz on Martin County
By Opinion Staff
Sally Swartz's weekly column on issues in Martin and St. Lucie counties now will be available here, on the Opinion Zone blog. As the Martin County Commission gets ready to vote Tuesday on changes to the growth plan that could open western parts of the county to intense development, Sally looks at how the plan to break down the county's careful growth rules has evolved .
This week, a few more pieces of a scheme to develop western Martin County outside the county's protective growth plan fall into place. A few wealthy landowners for years have systematically put together the complicated puzzle.
The Indian Street Bridge is one piece. Another is the Kiplinger Tract, conservation land the state and county purchased, which included space on a river island for the bridge crossing. Yet another: Treasured Lands Foundation.
More puzzle pieces fit in the push for more intense development on thousands of acres of farmland in western Martin. On Tuesday, Martin Commissioners consider several major growth plan changes state officials told the county to reject. Florida Department of Community Affairs said they would crowd county roads, contribute to sprawling development far from areas where services are available and hurt wildlife and wetlands.
Sunrise Groves is an odd piece, creating a new "AgTec" land use. Why would Martin allow a 1,717-acre industrial-office development designed to serve thousands of existing and future Port St. Lucie residents? The developers, Consolidated Citrus/King's Ranch, gave $25,000 to a political action committee that bought campaign ads for Commissioner Ed Ciampi and donated to Commissioner Doug Smith.
Another piece: The controversial AA Marina, backed by H. Wayne Huizenga's companies, which donated $8,500 to the Smith and Ciampi campaigns. Other changes have similar links, with varying amounts to Commissioners Susan Valliere and Patrick Hayes. Total campaign contributions to all four: $60,400. See more about campaign contributions here.
No surprise, the commission majority — except for Sarah Heard, who took no money and consistently opposes growth plan changes — is poised to approve the changes. The county staff has tried to answer state objections, promising to postpone building roads or delay increases in the number of allowed homes until 2015.
Back to the puzzle. A few weeks ago, Audubon of Martin County, Inc. released an inch-thick report board member Bob Matheson prepared, alleging Martin County and state officials in 1994 "deceived the public in a deal to acquire an island, supposedly for conservation, for a high rise bridge crossing." (The $72 million Indian Street Bridge, now awaiting federal stimulus money.)
The report claims the public was hoodwinked because Martin officials used money from the 1989 "Lands for You" program in which voters agreed to use tax money to buy environmentally sensitive or recreational lands. Martin and Florida Communities Trust spent $1.8 million to buy 116 acres on the east side of the St. Lucie River's South Fork and 40 acres of a river island. The Kiplinger group donated the island property, stipulating that land be reserved for a bridge crossing. The county and state deny wrongdoing. Here's a summary of the report.
More about the puzzle. A 2010 County Commission goal: "Develop a public/private partnership to manage county-owned conservation and park lands." Enter the Treasured Lands Foundation, a private group the late Jupiter Island Town Commissioner and Manager Joe Connolly helped found.
Morris Crady, a former Treasured Lands board member, now represents the applicants on several projects the commission considers Tuesday.
Charles Barrowclough, once Martin's environmentally sensitive lands administrator, directs the Foundation, which lists lands Martin County acquired as if the Foundation deserves credit for saving them.
Unless the county closely monitors details of land donations or conservation easements, owners can win permission to build more houses on less land and still farm, hunt and bar the public from "donated" property.The Foundation website doesn't mention Mr. Barrowclough once worked for the county.
The puzzle is almost finished. The Indian Street Bridge was the first piece, and completed, the last. After Tuesday, western Martin development projects will be ready and waiting. Even with pieces missing, the picture is clear.

NFL Insider: Andy Reid 'expected' to land in Arizona
There has been much speculation about who will take over the head coaching reins of the Arizona Cardinals.
One name that has been linked frequently to the Cardinals is former Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy Reid.
CBS NFL Insider Jason La Canfora tweeted he expects Reid to wind up in Arizona.
I'm getting the sense more and more than Kelly stays at Oregon, but we shall see. Also expect Andy Reid to end up with the Cards job— Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) January 1, 2013
It has been reported that Reid will interview with Cardinals' brass about the head coaching vacancy.
The veteran coach was a mainstay on the sidelines in Philadelphia for 14 seasons and led the Eagles to five NFC Championship games and one Super Bowl appearance.
In recent years, Reid failed to meet the Eagles' hefty expectations and was unable to get high-priced free agents to perform. Philadelphia went a disappointing 12-20 over the past two seasons, sealing the acclaimed coach's fate.
Reid is expected to be a sought-after coach this offseason but he could be enticed to join the Cardinals, who already have a championship-caliber defense in place.

Unbeleivably well balanced. Rich chocolate start, with a bitter roasty coffee finish. Sweet and bitter balanced to perfection. If only i could get this beer in Sydney (only available on tap at the Portland Hotel in Melbourne). An enjoyable little brew, everything i like in a Irish style dry stout.

Sampled on tap at the Portland hotel in Melbourne. Well presented in the house pint glass. Lovely roasted flavour with a hint of cocoa and subtle spices. Slighly bitter rough sharp finish that suits the style perfectly. Very fresh on tap and a rare treat as I didnt know they had "pub only" brews.

good looking foamy head settles over a pearl black beer. stout always looks best poured from the tap where it gets time to settle on its own.
aroma was a bit lighter than it could have been. not much coming up to the nose.
the taste is where this beer really shines. one thing i dont care much for in a stout is that harshness i sometimes find, and this beer had none of it. just smooth roasted and full malty flavors.
really nice, smooth mouthfeel. a pleasure to drink.
its hard to fault this beer for anything really. a seriously solid stout.

James Squire The Craic
James Squire/Portland Hotel Brewhouse September 1 2005
A Dark, Dark Brown, almost opaque beer with a head that lasts so long that I got impatient to drink it.
Smell is subtle. No noticeable chocolate, coffee or toffee overtones, however, the smell of roasted malt/chocolate malt is apparent.
The Chocolate malt is the first flavour to greet you, followed by a tartness that I imagine comes from a combination of said malt and a few well-boiled hops. Mouthfeel is just about what I look for in a stout. Not thin enough to pass as a porter, but not so thick that it fills you up in one pint, either. Carbonation is excellent for the style. This is a good stout, for sure. Neophytes to beer wouldnt like it, but its a very acceptable stout for the masses. This caters to the Guinness crowd a little too much, perhaps. Granted, if youre going for a stout, there are worse beers to copy. All in all, a good irish stout; just not my favorite style of stout. Gimme some chocolate and coffee flavours! Still, highly rated.

On tap at King St Brewhouse, Sydney.
Excellent stout. Appearance, aroma & flavour all as you would expect for this style. Mouthfeel & overall balance is excellent. Good firm bitterness & roasted notes, balanced with a lightly sweet creaminess. Excellent winter drink in the beergarden.

The Craic is a great beer to drink at the portland hotel.
A = Pours a dark brown. Quite a sight with its bubbles flowing backwards and stuff.
S = Light scents of roasted malts and coffee.
T = Roasted Malt start that mellows to a slight coffee/dark chocolate bitter aftertaste. Very nice.
M = Very smooth in mouthfeel. Just could be a little bit more thicker. A little too watery.
D = Good. Nice one to have at the end of the night to wind down a session.

Tap at the Portland Hotel. From notes.
A - Poured nearly black with a creamy two finger tan head. Decent carbonation with great thick lace and one finger of retention.
S - Light coffee and roasted notes.
T - Sweet but not overly so. Light roastiness and bready.
M - Dry finish with a creamy feel and good carbonation. Really smooth.
O/D - Alright. Really drinkable and tasty enough.

the portland hotel is my pub of choice when im out for a session on a weekend. with 5 james squire beers and 5 micros on tap (a couple of which are here, some i will add later) you just cant go wrong, and they are all better than average beers. i tried this stout from the first batch they ever brewed and that was a fair dinkum little beauty of a beer. unfortunately it did not reach those heights for another 12 months, and remains to this day a little inconsistent.
at the moment tho, it is back to its best. its a classic irish style stout. dark dark brown color with no transparency, and the thick creamy tan colored head which works its way to the top. we all know this sight in itself is a thing of beauty. and it stays till the last drop, exactly what you want from this style.
if you like coffee youd love this beer. the nose smells of fresh roasted beans, and the taste is like an expresso with hints of chocolate, and just a little smidgeon of buttered toast. the texture/mouthfeel is smooth and creamy, and a very robust finish that is bitter without being overpowering.
they have struggled to get this balance right over time, often the coffee tones are overpowering, and can lack a bit of body. other times it has finished far far too dry, and the head just has not been thick enuff. it had disappointed me for some time so i had turned my attention to their other wonderful brews. on my last visit i noticed the gent sitting next to me polish of a couple of these and i could see the improvement. i tried one pint and ended up having a couple more. im hoping that on that tasting, the beer will remain at the level it is now, a marvellous irish stout that sits alongside the guinness we get on tap here.

There is something magical about a pint of stout pulsating in the glass as the head works its way up.
this stout looked good and looked like most other stouts That is black witha creamy tan head.
The smell was a little low key but I expect the colder than preferable serving temperature may have had something to do with this.
The flavour was charcoal toast but with an underlying sweetness. The best thing was the creamy smooth texture It was just lovely to feel it slosh around the mouth
I had this at the Docklands James Squire , and have made it a must before every Docklands footy game

The Crashsensor ACS-3 is equipped with a multi-axis acceleration sensor, evaluation electronics and micro controller combined in one housing. The system can be mounted directly on the machine or headstock. The system is designed to monitor acceleration to various limits. If a limit is exceeded, the datalogger writes this information to an alarm recorder with the date and time. The recorder can be read out via a serial interface.
The system makes it possible to prevent machine damage and downtime resulting from collisions caused by machine or programming errors. The system also helps with securing evidence as to the adequate use of machinery components such as spindles and bearings as well as documenting (date, time and amplitude value) whether a collision event occurred.

We differ from other game or trivia nights in that the action is fast, changing each moment from trivia to physical challenges to image/video/song recognition. Want to get your team points for folding the best paper airplane? FTW! Want to beat out the competition by a tie-breaking game of Rock, Paper, Scissors? FTW!
With FTW, the entire experience is based around one thing: having the most fun possible while winning great prizes and cash!
Teams may consist of as many members as you can pack around your table (singular), with entry fee being $5 per member. Play takes place in the form of three rounds with different segments in each round featuring quick answer, one on one, and group questions.
Want to cheat using your cellphone? That's not cheating at FTW, that's part of the game! With games like Twi-via (Twitter-Based answering), Find that Website, and other phone based games we encourage your cheaty instincts. As for our non-phone games, the time given to a team to answer is between 10-20 seconds, so if you can Google that fast, we dare you to.
Another aspect that sets us apart is our use of multimedia presentation, decor and costumes to turn a game/trivia night into a SHOW, complete with sound effects, laugh tracks, and a slightly abusive host.
And at the end of the night, the winning team takes home all the cash while other teams get fabulous prizes of other sorts!
