Popcorn Media gives kids the chance to experience strutting down the red carpet during their Movie Star workshops and weeklong camps. Attendees soak up the secrets of screen acting from a director who works with Disney and Nickelodeon studios while producing their own unique work. They oversee each production element that goes into a film's creation, from lighting and filming to rehearsing and giving their parents an autograph. At the end of each camp, kids attend a red-carpet premier of their work amid the applause of friends and family.
With machines set up in rows to encourage competition, many ordinary gyms cater to men's bodies and psychology, right down to the urinals that were "accidentally" installed in the women's locker room. At Curves, you'll move around a circuit of hydraulic resistance machines that have been designed to work with women's bodies and promote weight loss, protect against osteoporosis, and deal with arthritis. An experienced trainer is always nearby to help manage your machine maneuvering and your muscle making. Instead of fiddling with weight stacks and losing your momentum, the hydraulic machines use your body weight and fitness level to create resistance that matches your abilities, decreasing the risk of soreness or injury. Because traditional lift-and-lower motions create bulky muscles, each machine uses push-and-pull motions to create toned, lean muscles perfect for crushing a grapefruit without looking like you can.
At GPP Fitness, instructors guide exercisers through tough yet simple workouts that transform bodies and burn away extra weight. Kettlebells, crunches, and runs may leave muscles sore, but they combine for an efficient training program that helps exercisers quickly achieve their fitness goals.
The minute someone joins Lady Fitness, the staff wants them to know that everyone is in it together—they're here to help each individual member reach her goals. New clients immediately get a comprehensive fitness evaluation, then a trainer leads them on a tour of the gym, recommending the best programs along the way depending on one's needs. That partnership doesn't end there—once you've signed up for a program, the staff can help you track your progress, and you're allowed to come back to the staff after 16 weeks to reevaluate.
Members have access to Lady Fitness's cardio center and weight machines, which are designed especially for women's bodies. Instructors also lead group fitness classes including yoga and sculpting. During Zumba, everyone gets moving to the tune of a Latin-inspired dance-party workout, and kickboxing students can pummel real punching bags instead of backpacks filled with packing peanuts. There are also childcare facilities onsite––including options for free daycare––and all of Lady Fitness's locations offer fun kids' fitness classes to help young ones learn the importance of staying active early on.
Since Joe Gold opened his first fitness center more than 45 years ago, his namesake gym franchise has grown to more than 600 locations worldwide. The four locations near Ogden house workout floors furnished with loads of exercise equipment as well as studios for group classes such as cycling, yoga, and TRX training. Most Gold's locations also feature Les Mills fitness classes such as Body Pump, Body Combat, and Body Attack, which keep things fresh by switching up their choreography and music every three months.
AMI Sports Club invites its clients to explore the breathtaking wilderness and drink in the stunning vistas of Utah with its shared use of motor sports equipment. This membership-based organization allows members to access a fleet of RVs, ATVs, snowmobiles, boats, and airplanes. Guests rent a spacious RV or nimble ATV to camp in the mountains and desert, borrow a 17-foot fishing boat to ply the waves of Lake Powell, or climb aboard a Cessna plane to view the wide open West from overhead. By becoming a member, clients have immediate access to a growing roster of airplanes, motor homes, boats, and other power sports equipment.

I looked for a long time for the word that described me and one day Patton Oswalt used that word in an interview and I Googled it to find its meaning and there I was. Here is a circle of Food experts and Food mad scientists who look at food as a path to healthy living or happy living. I don't think you will be disappointed.

Because The League of Extraordinary Circle Friends is not filled with social media superstars on the official Suggested Users List, but a very carefully curated group of super awesome people.

|Google+ Starter CircleAre you new to Google+? Well here is a circle built specifically for you to help you get started. To get the most out of Google+, you need to do two things: find great content, and share great content. This circle will help you do both.Side note: if you are just starting out, keep in mind that small circles are the best. it's just way easier to keep them clean.To help you find good stuff I have included some of my favorite pages and people here that keep the entertaining and interesting content flowing. Several of them are also connectors, they share circles about particular interests you may have (Photography, Doctor Who Fans, Technology, etc...).Those connectors will also enable you to better share good content as they often build circles and will add you to them when you ask. *The more people you have in your circles, the more fun it is to share the awsome stuff you find.* Hope you enjoy, #newtogoogleplus #googleplustips #sharedcircles #circleshare #circlesharing #circle #circles #amazingpeople #circleoftheday #topcircles #share #sharingiscaring #sharedcircleoftheday #publiccircles #publiccirclesproject #publicsharedcircles

|I've just looked at a few of my friends, and now I see why they think that G+ is a ghost town. Folks, you have to circle some people that post good stuff. Here, this circle was shared by +Terrence Lui a while back, and made my already busy stream actually too busy.Doesn't change how useful it is, or how fun it is.

|No Name NeededI wanted to add another user to this circle, so I decided to continue modelling my "league" after that of +Mike Elgan and reshare the circle with every addition. I also have a habit of notifying people whenever I share a circle that has them in it, but if people would rather I not do that, let me know! :)I added +Sarah Rios. While she has an unhealthy and unjustified addiction to all things #loki , she makes up for it with some pretty delicious #foodporn that pops up on her stream on an almost daily basis. When she isn't fawning over Loki or delicious food stuffs, she's usually posting some #geekhumor and nerdy content. As an active engager on even the busiest of threads, and a good plusser she's someone worth following.Check her, and the rest of the no-namers out!

|Who You Gonna Call?Do you have a problem? Do you wonder where you are going to go to get help? If so, this is this is the circle for you. These are the experts. They are the ones we go to when we need help. Not only do they know what they are talking about but they will all go out of their way to make sure you get what you need. Can't get much better than that. This is the first shared circle I have created. Heck it is the first shared circle I am even sharing. I created this circle, with the help of all of you (http://bit.ly/KYlY20), because I think experts are crucial to great community. Everyone who was mentioned is great. I went through everyone of the profiles, it took me almost 3 hours, and found some awesome people. But because I wanted to keep the circle relatively small I curated the list to my own standards.So here it is, a circle of Experts you can find on Google+. Everyone of them is an expert in some way and will be great engaging with you if you ever need help in their field of expertise. The list of experts is diverse. We have the more popular subjects covered like tech, photography and social media. We also have a strong group of creative people in art, writing, and movies. And then we have niche interest like running and physics. So add this circle it if you feel inclined. I give you my personal guarantee that you will find someone of interest in there or your money back. Note: If you were notified of this post you are in the circle.

|You Turn Me OnThis is my happy little constantly evolving circle of sapiosexual delights. Formerly a circle in which I shared folks who like smart folks, it's now a circle comprising people who post things that excite and arouse me for one reason or another. I've previously explained the root source for the prefix sapio ; here it is again, but from wikipedia this time.The word sapience is derived from the Latin sapientia, meaning "wisdom".[23] Related to this word is the Latin verb sapere, meaning "to taste, to be wise, to know"; the present participle of sapere forms part of Homo sapiens, the Latin binomial nomenclature created by Carolus Linnaeus to describe the human species. Linnaeus had originally given humans the species name of diurnus, meaning man of the day... he later decided that the dominating feature of humans was wisdom, hence application of the name sapiens. His chosen biological name was intended to emphasize man's uniqueness and separation from the rest of the animal kingdom..+Shared Circles on G+ +Sapiosexual +Public Circles +The Best Circles on Google+

Bookless library opened by new US university
Florida Polytechnic University's enormous facility promises to make 'many more books available for the students' in digital form.
There are no dusty bookshelves or piles of textbooks in the library of Florida's newest university. Welcoming its first students this week, Florida Polytechnic University's new library houses not a single physical book.
Instead, its inaugural class of 500 will have access to around 135,000 ebooks. "Our on-campus library is entirely digital," said director of libraries Kathryn Miller. "We have access to print books through the state university system's interlibrary loan program. However, we strongly encourage our students to read and work with information digitally."

//Paleo diet
Is there any real science behind the low-carb Paleo diet?
Against the grains
A carbs-rich diet has been blamed for the alarming explosion of obesity and chronic disease. What does the science show?
"Yet even if our ancestors were healthy without grains, that sheds little light on the situation today. Diet is hardly the only culprit pundits bring up to explain the health crisis in our midst. What about all the chemicals and toxins in modern society; or our lit-up nights; our sedentary ways?"

//Trans fat
You're Probably Eating Trans Fat Without Knowing It
A quick trans-fat primer, if you need it: It's naturally found in some animal products and is not quite so bad in these instances, but most of the trans fat Americans consume comes from partially hydrogenated oils — generally speaking, where there are partially hydrogenated oils, there is also trans fat.
And that's a problem since, last fall, the Food and Drug Administration tentatively determined PHOs to be "not generally recognized as safe for any use in food." (If that decision is finalized, partially hydrogenated oils will not be allowed in foods sold in the U.S.) Nutritionists discourage consuming even small amounts of trans fat, as it has been linked to heart disease and type 2 diabetes; the American Heart Association recommends cutting it out of your diet as much as possible.

Tomato-rich diet can lower prostate cancer risk by a fifth, scientists claim
Men who ate an optimal amount of selenium, calcium and lycopene had a lower risk of developing prostate cancer.
Tomatoes and products containing the fruit were shown to be the most beneficial food for preventing the disease.
Men who ate over 10 portions of tomato-rich foods a week, including tomato juice and baked beans, benefited from an 18 per cent reduction in developing prostate cancer.

Don't Want Me to Recline My Airline Seat? You Can Pay Me
"Tall people earn more money than short people, an average of $789 per inch per year."
A no-recline norm would also have troubling social justice implications — for short people. Complaints about knee room are not spread equally across our society. They are voiced mostly by the tall, a privileged group that already enjoys many advantages. I don't just mean they can see well at concerts and reach high shelves. Tall people earn more money than short people, an average of $789 per inch per year, according to a 2004 paper in the Journal of Applied Psychology.

Junk food rats ditch balanced diet to eat just like obese people
"The bottom line? Stick to home-made, whole foods to maintain a normal, well-functioning physiology that can optimally regulate your weight, metabolism, appetite, and energy balance."
Rats are very useful for studying human eating behaviour. Both rats and humans are omnivores, and both use flavour conditioning – learning through taste and experience which foods are good to eat and which to avoid. So if a particular flavour is associated with a desirable outcome like feeling full, this makes it more palatable, whereas a stomach illness would make it unpalatable.

Google must make Android safer – our data is at risk
Over the past few months, the Android platform developed by Google and based on the Linux operating system has been having a difficult time. Hackers, with malicious intent and those without, have been investing time in finding out how weak this operating system is.
Android runs on more than four out of five mobile devices. It is popular because it is free and its terms do not dictate to device manufacturers what hardware it must be used on.

Study: Dogs really do look like their owners
So why do dogs and owners resemble each other?
One contributing factor is health. Research has shown that overweight people tend to have overweight dogs, because these dogs don't get walked as much. Indeed, researchers have measured an overall increase in obesity among all sorts of pets as human obesity rates have climbed.
A more important factor may be preference — the idea that, in general, people tend to choose dogs that look a little like them.

Dash of Salt Does No Harm. Extremes Are the Enemy.
"Americans consume, on average, 3.4 grams of sodium per day, or about the equivalent of three and a half tablespoons of soy sauce. This is on the low end of the "safe zone" of 3-6 grams in the study. The United States Food and Drug Administration thinks that's not low enough. It recommends 2.3 grams per day. The World Health Organization says it should be 2.0 grams. The American Heart Association goes even further and recommends we consume no more than 1.5 grams."
For years, we have known that diets high in salt can be bad for people with high blood pressure. A study published recently in The New England Journal of Medicine confirmed this fact. It monitored more than 100,000 people in 18 countries and found that people who consumed more sodium generally had significantly higher blood pressures than those who d... more »

9 questions you were too grossed out to ask about the bacteria living on you
Your body is covered with microbes, inside and out. They're on your skin, in your ears, in your mouth, your gut, on your genitalia. It might sound gross, but it's perfectly normal — your bacterial cells outnumber your human cells by about ten to one.

//Instant noodles
Instant Noodles Tied to Heart Risk
In any case, Dr. Hu said, instant noodles are not part of a healthy diet. "Once or twice a month is not a problem," he said. "But a few times a week really is."
Researchers in South Korea, where instant noodle consumption is the highest in the world, studied 10,711 adults, a representative sample of the Korean population enrolled in a large survey of health and nutrition. They found two major dietary patterns — the "traditional diet," of fish, rice and vegetables, and the "meat and fast-food" regimen, rich in meat and processed food, including instant noodles.

//The Weekend Read
interesting piece.
The first smile
Why do laughter, smiles and tears look so similar? Perhaps because they all evolved from a single root.
"It's amazing that so much could spring from such a simple root. An age-old defensive mechanism, a mechanism that monitors bubbles of space around the body and organises protective movements, suddenly takes flight in the hyper-social world of primates, spinning into smiles and laughter and crying and cringeing."

Our Microbiome May Be Looking Out for Itself
"If microbes do in fact manipulate us, Dr. Knight said, we might be able to manipulate them for our own benefit — for example, by eating yogurt laced with bacteria that would make us crave healthy foods."
Your body is home to about 100 trillion bacteria and other microbes, collectively known as your microbiome. Naturalists first became aware of our invisible lodgers in the 1600s, but it wasn't until the past few years that we've become really familiar with them.

Sleep Hack: Keep Your Feet Outside Your Covers
Introducing a slightly odd but potentially very useful sleep hack: Keep one foot, or both feet, outside of your blanket. It could help you both sleep better and fall asleep faster, a sleep researcher explained to Science of Us.
But why the foot, specifically? The skin surfaces of both our hands and feet are unique, Dautovitch explained, both in that they're hairless and because they contain specialized vascular structures that help with heat loss. Specifically, the hands and feet contain blood vessels called the arteriovenous anastomoses, which — coupled with the lack of hair on the bottoms of your feet — are perfectly designed to help dissipate body heat.

We're happier when we chat to strangers, but our instinct is to ignore them
"Of course one can look for loopholes in these studies. One problem is the results may be specific to urban US culture. Another is this research involved isolated instances of chatting to a stranger. In real life, frequent commuters may avoid striking up conversation with fellow travellers, for fear of getting stuck talking with the same person everyday."

The majority of meals (57%) are eaten by solo diners, market researcher NPD Group found. Snacks have the highest percentage of lone diners (72%) followed by breakfast (61%) and lunch (55%). (Solo lunches include workers eating at their desk.) Although 34% of Americans spent dinner time alone, half of American families still choose to eat dinner with each other five times a week.

//Your skin
See the damage sun can wreak on skin thanks to a UV camera
Skin damage isn't easily seen at the surface, but it's there, lurking just underneath. A special camera designed to show what the world looks like in ultraviolet, rather than visible, light, however, can show these subsurface freckles. In the video above Thomas Leveritt did just that, showing people on the street the subsurface damage their skin has wrought because of the sun's rays.
When your skin is exposed to the sun's ultraviolet radiation, the high-energy rays can damage your DNA and injure your cells. In the short term, that might just mean sunburn, but in the long term, it can lead to bigger problems, like skin cancer or an accelerated appearance of aging.

Fast food and you: The effects of too much fat, sugar, and salt in your diet
Dr Nick Knight looks at what all of this fast food is really doing to our bodies.
"The best way to explain the role of sugars is to talk about the 'crash'. Not the Academy Award winning movie, no, but the feeling you get after you have demolished your fast food meal in record time, and then 60 minutes later slip into an exhausted, sluggish, and lethargic 'food-coma' to rival Sleeping Beauty. The simple, refined sugars in these foods give your blood sugar levels a huge, immediate spike – giving you that burst of energy – before being used up almost immediately. This is why you are left craving more – you are, in part, addicted to the sugar; just like kids and sweets."

A woman winning the Fields medal for the first time is great for tech companies and STEM education
In the 78-year history of the Fields medal, winners of the prestigious mathematics award often compared to the Nobel Prize had one thing in common: all of them were men.
That changed with the August 12 announcement that the four 2014 Fields medalists include Maryam Mirzakhani, a professor of mathematics at Stanford University who is an Iranian woman. (She is also the first Iranian to receive the Fields.)

Expanding waistlines will cause 3,500 more cancers each year, study finds
Scientists hope that linking 12,000 cancers each year to people being overweight will spark more action against obesity
"If we could magically remove excess weight from the population, we would have 12,000 fewer cancers."
Around 12,000 cancers a year are caused by people being overweight, according to a study which scientists hope will inspire more action to curb the obesity epidemic.
The study, published in the Lancet medical journal, is the biggest of its kind, involving data from 5 million UK adults. It finds that excess weight is linked to 10 different cancers, including cervical cancer, breast cancer and leukaemia.
The strongest links were in cancer of the womb, where excess weight was responsible for 41% of cases and in... more »

Nature, not nurture, holds key to gut bacteria
Intestinal bacteria, also known as the microbiome, is vital for good health throughout life because it affects everything from daily digestion to the long-term functioning of our immune systems.
But little is understood about how the gut of a newborn infant transitions from being sterile to becoming densely inhabited with bacteria.
Researchers from the Washington University School of Medicine discovered these bacterial communities, which assemble within the gut just weeks after birth, colonise in distinct, patterned progressions.

Trend for larger tattoos masks a deeper problem of toxins and the skin
"Tattooing may seem like just a piece of skin art, but it involves the deep injection of potentially toxic chemicals into the skin."
Evolutionary biologists argue that we humans climbed to the pinnacle of our mammalian tree as a result of a penchant for sun and sex. And that our human prowess was guided, if not driven by our adaptation to life on this sun-drenched planet (a remarkably high proportion of our genome is associated with UV receptors). While the potential dangers of too much sun on the skin are well known, what about the new skin fashion-du-jour – tattoos?

great piece.
Us and them
From newborns to nation states, we trust similarity. But does that mean we must hate difference?
"New-born babies gaze with equal attention at faces regardless of ethnic appearance, but by three months they prefer looking at faces from their own ethnic group. As their ability to organise their impressions develops, they focus on the kind of faces they see most often."
We come into the world with open minds, ready to tune in to whatever language or culture surrounds us. But as we lock on to the strongest signals, the others become less distinct. As our sense of 'us' develops, our sense of 'them' degrades.

Secrets of the Creative Brain
"And what are we even looking for when we search for evidence of "creativity" in the brain? Although we have a definition of creativity that many people accept—the ability to produce something that is novel or original and useful or adaptive—achieving that "something" is part of a complex process, one often depicted as an "aha" or "eureka" experience."
A leading neuroscientist who has spent decades studying creativity shares her research on where genius comes from, whether it is dependent on high IQ—and why it is so often accompanied by mental illness.

//The "Sunshine Vitamin"
Link between vitamin D and dementia risk confirmed
"We expected to find an association between low Vitamin D levels and the risk of dementia and Alzheimer's disease, but the results were surprising – we actually found that the association was twice as strong as we anticipated."
"Clinical trials are now needed to establish whether eating foods such as oily fish or taking vitamin D supplements can delay or even prevent the onset of Alzheimer's disease and dementia. We need to be cautious at this early stage and our latest results do not demonstrate that low vitamin D levels cause dementia. That said, our findings are very encouraging, and even if a small number of people could benefit, this would have enormous public health implications given the devastating and costly nature of dementia."

Is organic food better for you?
"The Stanford study was done with no external funding at all. The newer study, though, cost $429,000 and was funded by a charity that "supports organic farming research." That doesn't mean that a conflict of interest tainted the methods or results, but it should at least be acknowledged."
Recently, a study published in the British Journal of Nutrition said that organic fruits and vegetables are more nutritious.
A press release declared it the "largest study" of its kind. Because of its size and breadth, some people believe that it trumps previous research which showed organic food did not appear to be any safer or more nutritious than conventionally grown food.

(Another agency regulates meat and poultry.) One caveat is that use of the gluten-free label is voluntary; there is no requirement that a package containing gluten must declare that.

Vt. lawsuit spotlights privatization versus accessBy DAVE GRAM
THE Associated Press | June 13,2013MONTPELIER A lawsuit by a Brattleboro publisher and the American Civil Liberties Union of Vermont is raising a question about what happens to the idea of access to public records when government services are privatized.
Prison Legal News of Brattleboro says its been stymied in its efforts to get information under the states Public Records Act about settlements of suits brought by Vermont inmates against the Corrections Corporation of America.
That private company is doing Vermont state business by housing inmates from Vermont at prisons in Kentucky, Arizona and Indiana.
The issue of whether private contractors are covered by the Public Records Act becomes all the more important because theres been more and more outsourcing of state government services in recent years, said Allen Gilbert, executive director of the ACLUs Vermont chapter.
In addition to the state Department of Corrections use of prison beds managed by CCA, Gilbert pointed to a push in the states mental health system to house patients in private hospitals. That movement has grown since flooding from Tropical Storm Irene in 2011 forced the closure of the public Vermont State Hospital in Waterbury.
Like a lot of other people, were trying to get an answer to the question of whether a private contractor is subject to the Public Records Act the way a state agency would be if it were providing the service, the ACLU chief said.
The law says government records must be made available for public inspection unless specific exemptions apply.
Rep. Donna Sweaney, D-Windsor and chairwoman of the House Government Operations Committee, said Wednesday she expects a special review of Vermonts public records law will include asking what happens to public information when private companies take over government services.
That issue has come up and it hasnt been resolved, Sweaney said. It certainly does present a very interesting case. Private companies records normally are not subject to public inspection the way a government agencys are, she noted. But if youre doing the states work with public money, how open should your records be?
Prison Legal News first asked the Corrections Department for information about the lawsuit settlements but was told the agency didnt have the information and was referred to CCA, editor Paul Wright said Wednesday.
Wright accused the state of willful blindness and ignorance in government about the treatment of Vermont prisoners. He said the lawsuit, filed last week in Washington County civil court in Montpelier, followed similar, successful suits in other states.
Corrections Commissioner Andrew Pallito said in an email that while his department does not get copies of settlements, it does monitor major cases brought by inmates against CCA.
To my knowledge, contractors are not obligated to disclose settlements to the state, Pallito wrote. He said the CCA contract says the state is indemnified, meaning Vermont does not have to pay when the settlement of an inmate suit results in money going to the inmate.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER A lawsuit filed Wednesday against the state Department for Children and Families...

Gionn Peralta's head coaches at Vacaville High School talk of their talented senior wrestler like an artist.
"He has everything," co-head coach Clint Birch said. "He has the attitude, the playfulness, the pure enjoyment of wrestling. He's also highly competitive. He does special little things off the cuff that you can't coach that are fun to see."
So there's an art to what the 120-pound state contender does on the mat. It's also the reason he is among the best in a long line of Vacaville wrestlers.
Peralta joins Vacaville teammates Jordan Aquino (106 pounds), Anthony Hernandez (126), Hayden Fry (145), Jeramy Sweany (220), Bobby Ehman (132), Steven Gomez (195) and Mike McCauley (285) on the journey to Bakersfield for the California Interscholastic Federation state meet on Friday and Saturday. Dixon's Devan Turner (113) will also be competing.
Peralta carries a 47-2 record with 28 pins, and is ranked No. 2 in the state by The California Wrestler website.
His 195 career wins are just one shy of tying the school record of 196 set by Russ McGrew in 1999. His 142 career pins already is a school record.
Peralta can also become the first Bulldog ever to win four state medals.
He was the state runnerup last year, losing 11-10 in the high-scoring final to Adrian Camposano of Center of the Central Section. He also took third in 2012, and finished eighth in 2011.
"You just don't expect to be a four-time state medalist at Vacaville High School," Peralta said. "I'd be pumped for that."
This season, Peralta has picked up tournament titles in the Chukchansi Inviational at Madera South, the Battle of the Belt at Temecula and the Puma Classic at Santa Rosa. He opened the postseason by winning the Monticello Empire League title, and earning MEL wrestler of the year honors.
"He's one of those athletes you may not see again for a long time at Vacaville High School," co-head coach Adam Wight said. "Gionn came in as the best freshman we've ever seen. He's very creative and always trying to be an original, almost poetic. He also has a really good cradle, which helps a lot."
His mat technique is based on what approach his opponent is taking. He doesn't want to show his hand first.
"I try not to over-think things before I go out there," Peralta said. "I just put my headphones on and get into a zone and get ready to have fun. I try to go in and react to what the other guy is doing."
The past two weeks, he has finished second at the Sac-Joaquin Section Division I AA and Masters meets. He lost by points to division champion Israel Saavedra of Modesto before reaching the finals and having to pull out by injury default before another showdown with Saavedra.
"I should hopefully heal up and be 100 percent for state," Peralta said. "I'm going to put all I can into this week. I'm bigger, stronger and faster this year, and mentally, I don't feel like I can lose to anyone."
Losing is something that has happened only 19 times in four years.

4.6/5 rDev +1.8%
This is a big one: Founders Breakfast Stout. I've been told about it, heard rumours, news reports on CCN/BBC and Chinese whispers about the greatness of this beer, so much so that I was shocked to see it sitting quietly on a shelf in The Archive next door cellars... I had to have it and review it immediately, and here faithful reader(s) we are *sniff*.
Poured from a 355ml bottle into the sacred Chimay chalice, sorry the simple nonic pint was too lowly to behold this brew.
A: Black as Satan's publicist (hey Satan is an equal opportunity lord of terror) this brew presents with a Texas tea coloured body (that's oil son!) and no head, just a ring of tan lace around the edge, mmm.
S: Cant really smell anything apart from that Kona coffee bean, this literally has the aroma of a cold press coffee, delicious but one-dimensional (sorry Founders). I even agitated the hell out of it with anecdotes about my day, but nothing/nada/zip - just Kona cold press coffee.
T: Holy shit this beer rocks. The taste is like the richest coffee flavour my tongue has ever accounted. There are notes of roast chicory, dark chocolate and earthy/herbal hops impart a bitter finish. Damn this is tasty. Something about it keeps me sipping on it, it's difficult to put down. There is some smokiness in there as well. Maybe a hint of prune... I can't stop sipping!
M: First thought that springs to mind is "Man my tongue is totally coated in sticky coffee goodness". Heavy bodied and smooth, Marvin Gaye smooth. The viscosity is one of the most remarkable parts of this brew - it's soooo chewy and sticky, like a coffee Stout flavoured honey.
D: Wait I'm not done praising this beer yet; it gets better as it gets warmer, more flavours come out of the wood works - hints of brandy with some rich toffee too. That is truly a sign of a great beer: it gets better as it gets warmer. Which is why the English drink their beers at room temperature. I think I've found it - the best Stout ever. Period.
Food match: They call it a breakfast Stout but I think it is more a dessert Stout, our an after-dinner cigar Stout. Or even a screw-eating-just-main-line-it-into-my-arm-with-an-IV Stout, and if that's a mouth-full so is this brew.

Phenomenal beer. This is about as good as a stout gets, which says a helluva lot. Excellent mix of dark malts, coffee, chocolate flavors, with no one quality overwhelming the overall taste.

355ml Bottle from Good Spirits Co, Glasgow (£4):
Black with a thin, light brown lacing that covers the surface & holds until I start drinking.
Strong with oatmeal & chocolate, some coffee & some milky notes plus a little sweetness. Good roasted notes & bitterness feature, offset with some sugar. Despite the strength the alcohol is masked by the chocolate & dark malts.
Strong chocolate, subtly sweet with light bitterness & strong coffee, some oatmeal too. There is some espresso like flavours & lots of cocoa with roasted malts & darker fruits, sugar & vanilla. Complex & great tasting.
Full bodied & smooth, the alcohol content is almost completely hidden with only the slightly warming feel giving an indication as to the strength of this one. Strong sweetness with the occasional bit of bitterness; frighteningly easy to drink too.
An exceptional beer from Founders, definitely the best I've tried from them and up there with the best I've tried from any brewery for that matter. Excellent stuff from the start & one I'll be picking up the next time I spot it anywhere.

330mL bottle,best before date of 8/2014. I was tempted to save this one for when I did feel like a beer for breakfast, but its the only beer in the house, and too cold to go out and get another.
A - pours thick, black with a thin creamy brown head and thin lacing
S - burnt chocolate, toasted malt and oats
T - Biggg intense kick of burnt coffee, pure dark chocolate and roasted malt. Faint bitterness at end. The coffee taste is very strong, so much that I could actually enjoy this beer over breakfast
M - Oily texture, heavy body, low carbonation, alcohol taste is nowhere to be seen
O - This really is a unique beer, the coffee taste is very strong, muted alcohol taste. Im going to have a second bottle over some bacon and eggs tomorrow morning

A- Pitch black with light brown head. Good head retention and nice lacing. This is a good looking beer.
S- Coffee aroma is strong upfront. Chocolate are there in the background, with brown sugar or molasses faintly there. Smells great!
T- Follows the nose. Very strong coffee notes at first and chocolate follows. Nice and roasty taste, although I find it to lean more towards the bitter side i feel as if it use a bit more sweetness. Overall it's fantastic.
M- Light carbonation with decent amount of body. Almost perfect here.
O- This beer is phenominal. Id say if the body was a bit more heavy and just somewhat sweeter this would be perfect. The strong coffee taste is amazing with the chocolate playing as a supporting role. I find this an almost impeccable beer. I highly recommend.

More to Love (2014) Romance (DVDRip)
Genres: Romance
Sisters Margo and Karen, along with best friend 'Chelle, were full figured, bootylicious and proud of it – they loved hard, laughed out loud and lived life by the code, "the more the woman, the 'More to Love.'" That is until Margo returns from Chicago with not just a new job, but a new body to go along with it. Armed with a new image, no man is safe, not even Terence, Karen's Bar Exam study partner and secret crush. Believing that a full figured woman could never land a man like Terrence, Karen moves out of the way and Margo and Terrence get engaged. However, on Karen's 30th birthday, Terrence professes his love for her. After sharing a night of passion, Karen must decide whether to fight for the man she loves or watch him walk down the aisle with Margo.

August 29 2014 Latest news:
Poor old Neil Adams. Makes you wonder how many mirrors he's shattered of late.
So that's it for the Premier League for now – but for how long? Bouncing straight back is a much harder task now than it was in years past.
What does it feel like to win an East Anglian Derby?
There was almost a sense of release after a weekend that pushed Norwich City into the Premier League's bottom three.
Two words struck a chord as Norwich City's weekend and midweek reinvigorated a club still trying to work out if there's going to be a marauding, moaning hangover from Premier League relegation this season, or repeatedly joyous Championship abandon.
Sunday really couldn't have turned out much worse; a performance redolent of the dark days of last season, a sending off, a defeat and an allegedly racist incident in the stands. As bad days at the office go this was off the scale.
