Washington (CNN) - Before heading to Martha's Vineyard for a week-long family vacation, President Barack Obama took questions Friday from reporters at the White House.
He hadn't held a formal, solo press conference since April 30 - and topics ranging from the economy to government surveillance to terror threats arose at Friday's question and answer session.
The president also announced new measures to instill greater transparency in the government snooping programs that were revealed earlier this summer, which critics said amounted to massive federal overreach.
4:31 p.m. ET: Looking for a breakdown of the president's news conference? Look no further. From CNN Capitol Hill Reporter Lisa Desjardins: POTUS Newser By the Numbers.
4:02 p.m. ET: CNN Chief White House Correspondent Jessica Yellin notes that Obama didn't seem to get "prickly" during Friday's press conference, compared to previous sessions.
The testiest moment came during his defense of Obamacare, during which he went after the GOP for trying to repeal his law without offering their own plan.
4:01 p.m. ET: And that wraps up the president's news conference - he took eight questions, and spoke for just under an hour.
POTUS – Immigration: I don't know another issue where you have unions, chamber of commerce, evangelicals, you name it, supportive of bill—
Lisa Desjardins (@AskLisaD) August 09, 2013
3:58 p.m. ET: On immigration, Obama says he's well aware that no bill will completely solve the problem of undocumented immigrants in the U.S.
"There are very few human problems that are 100% solvable," he says.
3:56 p.m. ET: Next question, from NPR: How much leverage do you have in getting Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform?
If you couldn't hear @JessicaYellin she asked last time potus talked to @SpeakerBoehner he said fairly recently -before congress left—
Dana Bash (@DanaBashCNN) August 09, 2013
3:55 p.m. ET: Obama says he won't engage in negotiations with Republicans that include the threat of a government shutdown.
Obama – "the idea that you would shut down the government unless you can keep 30 million people from getting health care is a bad idea."—
Zach Wolf (@zbyronwolf) August 09, 2013
Asked about the last time he spoke with Boehner, Obama said he thought it was probably before Congress left for the August recess last week.
3:53 p.m. ET: CNN Chief White House Correspondent Jessica Yellin asks Obama about the GOP threat of a government shutdown unless Obamacare is defunded.
3:51 p.m. ET: "There are going to be glitches" in implementing Obamacare, the president concedes, but he adds that shouldn't detract from the law's benefits.
And he adds that Republican threats to shut down the government unless Obamacare is defunded aren't in the interest of the American people.
President Obama didn't ask Congress when he delayed ObamaCare. We offered and he threatened to veto –> bit.ly/1bJuPi8—
Eric Cantor (@GOPLeader) August 09, 2013
3:49 p.m. ET: Going after Republicans for the first time in the news conference, Obama says the GOP's "holy grail" is making sure 30 million Americans are uninsured.
He says their assertion is that "people will be better off without it."
3:48 p.m. ET: Obama is asked to explain why the employer mandate - which required businesses with 50 or more workers to provide employees health insurance - was delayed by a year.
He said that aspect of Obamacare was not the "core" of the law, and that other elements were already being set into motion.
Obama – the core of Obamacare implementation has already taken place.—
Zach Wolf (@zbyronwolf) August 09, 2013
Good line on getting Benghazi killers: "I didn't get UBL in 11 months either."—
Ari Fleischer (@AriFleischer) August 09, 2013
3:47 p.m. ET: In response to a question about when the perpetrators of the Benghazi attack would be charged, Obama said it would take time.
"I also said I'd get Bin Laden, but I didn't get him in 11 months," he said.
3:46 p.m. ET: Obama is asked a two-part question by Fox News: one on the terror attack a year ago in Benghazi, Libya, and one about the president's health care law, which is in the process of being implemented.
3:43 p.m. ET: "We are not going to completely eliminate terrorism," Obama says in response to questions about current terror threats.
But when pressed about operational tactics used to kill terrorists - namely, drone strikes - Obama refers back to a speech earlier this year.
3:41 p.m. ET: Obama says it's still accurate to say that al Qaeda's traditional core in Afghanistan and Pakistan has been reduced, but that threats from affiliate organizations, like al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, still remain.
Nice question, @jonkarl. Open-ended about the drones... and pivots al Qaeda to core al qaeda same way the admin. used them interchangeably.—
Zach Wolf (@zbyronwolf) August 09, 2013
3:41 p.m. ET: The fifth question, from ABC News, is about recent terror threats, and Obama's campaign assertions that "core al Qaeda" had been decimated.
POTUS – KEY NSA ansr: I am comfortable that these programs are not being abused; I just need to make Americans more comfortable.—
Lisa Desjardins (@AskLisaD) August 09, 2013
3:39 p.m. ET: The president's news conference is ongoing, but House Speaker John Boehner released a response, via spokesman Brendan Buck:
"Much of any public concern about this critical program can be attributed to the president's reluctance to sufficiently explain and defend it. Transparency is important, but we expect the White House to insist that no reform will compromise the operational integrity of the program. That must be the president's red line, and he must enforce it. Our priority should continue to be saving American lives, not saving face."
3:38 p.m. ET: Obama says he's "comfortable the current system is not being abused," and that if Americans fully understood the law, they would agree.
Did we know before that there was an ongoing review of the intel programs? Was it public info before the leaks?—
Zach Wolf (@zbyronwolf) August 09, 2013
3:35 p.m. ET: Obama denies that he's changed positions on government surveillance, but that he's now supporting greater transparency in the programs.
He suggests embedding some "technological fixes" that provide another layer of oversight into the surveillance systems.
3:33 p.m. ET: The fourth question, from the Wall Street Journal, goes back to the government surveillance programs. "Why should the public trust you" on the NSA programs, asked Carol Lee.
3:29 p.m. ET: Obama acknowledges the choice of the next Fed chair will be one of this "most important choices" of his second term.
But he says that criticism surrounding Larry Summers, who was the director of the National Economic Council earlier in Obama's administration, is unfair, and that both potential candidates could successfully fill the role.
"Both are highly qualified candidates," he said, adding he would make the decision in the fall.
In presser @BarackObama compares his defense of Larry Summers before Congress to defense of Susan Rice when she was attacked after Beghazi—

POTUS Answr 3: Fed chief is one of most important decisions, like SCOTUS. I have a range of good candidates, including Summers and Yellen.—
Lisa Desjardins (@AskLisaD) August 09, 2013
3:27 p.m. ET: A third question, from CBS News, is about the next chairman of the Federal Reserve. Many see two top choices: Larry Summers and Janet Yellen.
For more, watch this from CNNMoney.
3:26 p.m. ET: "I think people have questions about this program," Obama says, adding it's important for the government to provide answers about how citizens are being monitored.
"There's no doubt that Mr. Snowden's leaks triggered a much more rapid and passionate response than would have been the case if I had simply appointed this review board."
Now hold on. Did Obama just say he signed an order that would give whistleblower protection to Snowden? That accurate?—
Zach Wolf (@zbyronwolf) August 09, 2013
3:24 p.m. ET: Information about the classified NSA programs has come out in "drips and drabs," Obama says, and has included a lot of misinformation about how the programs are administered.
"Our laws specifically prohibit us from surveilling U.S. persons," he says.
Obama: "No, I don't think Mr. Snowden is a patriot." Says he wanted review of surveillance before leaks.—
Zach Wolf (@zbyronwolf) August 09, 2013
3:23 p.m. ET: Asked about the man who leaked classified NSA documents, Obama says, "No, I don't think Snowden is a patriot."
He adds he would have rather the NSA programs be discussed without their details being leaked illegally.
POTUS Qstn 2: Can u get things done w/ Russia w/out good relatinship with Putin? And do you now see Snowden as a whistleblower? Patriot?—
Lisa Desjardins (@AskLisaD) August 09, 2013
3:21 p.m. ET: Obama, asked by NBC about his personal relationship with Vladimir Putin, says "I don't have a negative personal relationship" with the Russian president.
He adds that analysis of the two leaders' body language often focuses on Putin's posture. "He's got a kind of slouch like a bad kid in the back."
POTUS: "If Russia does not have gay or lesbian athletes, it will probably make their team weaker."—

Donna Brazile (@donnabrazile) August 09, 2013
3:17 p.m. ET: Obama says the U.S. must "take a pause" in dealing with Russia to assess where the relationship stands.
He notes that while he won't attend a bilateral meeting with Putin in Moscow, he will attend the Group of 20 summit in St. Petersburg in September.
And he adds a boycott of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, is not on the table, despite a new Russian law banning "homosexual propaganda."
POTUS Question 1: Russia. How much of the problem is Putin? And are there any additional punitive measures you can take after Snowden?—
Lisa Desjardins (@AskLisaD) August 09, 2013
3:16 p.m. ET: First question, from the Associated Press, is about the U.S.-Russia relationship in the wake of Edward Snowden being granted asylum in the country.
"There's always been some tension" since the Cold War ended, Obama said, noting there was both cooperation and competition between the two nations.

UPDATE: Here's the administration's white paper, laying out their legal rationale for the government surveillance programs.
3:14 p.m. ET: Lastly, Obama says he'll create a group of outside experts to review the technology used in the government surveillance programs.
Obama said "we can and must" be more transparent in the government surveillance programs.
3:12 p.m. ET: Third on Obama's list: greater efforts toward telling Americans what the government is doing in relation to domestic surveillance. One step is creating a web site that will be a "hub" for greater transparency.
3:10 p.m. ET: The second area Obama wants greater transparency: the Federal Intelligence Surveillance Court (or FISC).
He said the court should hear from people raising civil liberties concerns.
Obama opens the press conference announcing he will take steps to reform the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. Watch LIVE on CNN.—
Adam Levine (@cnnadam) August 09, 2013
3:09 p.m. ET: Obama spelling out four areas where he'd allow for additional transparency in the NSA surveillance programs.
The first - Section 215 of the Patriot Act, which allows for collection of metadata in phone calls.
3:08 p.m. ET: Obama says it's "important to ask questions" about privacy amid revelations of government surveillance programs.
"It's not enough for me, as president, to have confidence in these programs. The American people have to have confidence as well," he said.
3:06 p.m. ET: Obama, beginning his news conference, says he's focused both on delivering his economic message while fulfilling his "number one duty as president" - keeping Americans safe.
3:04 p.m. ET: The White House delivered a two-minute warning to the beginning of Obama's news conference.

2:58 p.m. ET: Reporting from the East Room, Chief White House Correspondent Jessica Yellin says reporters are expecting six questions or so over the course of an hour-long press conference. Obama is known for giving lengthy answers during questioning sessions.
2:54 p.m. ET: What might the president be asked Friday?

Snowden is a HERO! Obama betrayed american people
the only reason he is not a patriot is because you got busted and we the people are sick of you and everyone else who is a career politician.........you all suck and have destroyed this country
Better to remain silent on the issue Mr guy acting as president lest you hear from the masses who elected you and those who didn't
An ordinary citizen like Snowden had the guts tell the world that his Government is doing something abominable. Shame on a Free Country. Calling him "No Patriot" is the most stupid utterance from President, I had a good respect for our President, Now I am feeling that he is no worse than the whole bunch of Republicans like Bush, Cheney and Nixon. It is a shame. History will tell who is right. Citizens have to be vigilant to protect freedom and they should not elect idiots, If they do, they will suffer too.
Why believe someone caught in lie after lie after lie. Obama (and almost all other Government Leaders) have no Honor, have no issue in going against their Oaths. The only question now is how do we take back control of our Government and our Freedom?
Bravo Mr. President. I applaud your understanding of citizens' concerns and addressing them in real and tangible ways.
Another vacation can you wait at least a month in between vacations at our expense.
We could use the tax dollars you waste on vacations and golf and save a few jobs.
Obama supported libya rebels which did in fact have terrorists within their ranks. We actually supported terrorists in Libya.
BTW where did all the weapons in Libya go? Some used on Benghazi perhaps?
4th ammendment! Get a warrant!
Let's see, the person that is in charge of the Government is going to choose who argues against the Government when the Government wants something, yeah, that's going to protect us. How stupid do they think we are?
Oh I forgot, Obama lost my vote. OK I understand he does not need mine.
How do we know the FBI wouldn't set people up with this information so they could throw them into the prison industrial complex?
@I'm NOT a liberal – Sounds like you're one of the sociopathic conservatives.
Apparently, he hasn't read the latest revelations to come out of Guardian today.
This type of surveillance is explicitly illegal.
If I were him, I'd be worried about impeachment. Obama, Democrats (including Diane Feinstein), and Sr. NSA officers all have made categorical statements denying that the NSA spies on Americans. In spite of repeated assurances, these statements all appear to be outright lies.
Snowden is No Patriot ? Really ? Like You and Your Bootlip staff are ? that is His Opinion. 1200 days left, then the public Can have Him. Good Luck.
Snowden is no patriot?
Obama is no citizen.
If being a patriot means having to swallow everything your government dishes out then I guess I am no patriot either.
Go ahead and collect all these comments and emails. Snowden most certainly is an American hero just as history will one day call Obama a villain. How dare you have the GAUL to denounce a man who simply had photos of this government with it's pants down, and up to no good. How dare you.
How could this nation have elected this outrageous person not once but twice. Other than calling himself Trayvon, what has he exactly done for the black race that overwhelmingly threw their support of him – nothing!
Snowden is a legitimate whistle-blower. I like Obama, but he's dead wrong here. Put the NSA program in front of the supreme court. They'll rule against it. When that happens, Snowden will be vindicated.
Mr "O" I couldn't agree more
Snowmen is no patriot. Well neither are you Obama. The way you have destroyed this great country. Do America a favor and just step down and make sure you take that bumbling idiot Biden with you.
Snowden IS a patriot for exposing more corruption of the Obama administration....
He's going on vacation again? He vacations more than he works, on our dime of course.
Repeal the Patriot Act.
You can thank Republicans for extending the Patriot Act in 2012, and you can thank Republicans again for voting against limiting the NSA's power in July 2013.
Obama was wrong to lobby against the NSA vote last month, but it was the Republicans that voted with him.
The majority of the Freeper idjits in this forum aren't smart enough to realize that.

Energy IG Tells Congress the Department Was 'Ill-equipped' to Distribute Stimulus Cash; WaPo Buries on A19
Energy Department Inspector General Gregory Friedman testified before a congressional committee yesterday that the department was "ill-equipped to quickly distribute billions of dollars in economic stimulus funding," reported the Washington Post's Ed O'Keefe in the November 3 paper.
"Friedman's testimony was meant to summarize more than 100 investigations conducted by his office into Energy's stimulus spending. The probes have recovered $2.3 million in fraudulently obtained money and sparked five criminal prosecutions," O'Keefe noted in his 12-paragraph story, which was buried on page A19 of the Post with the bland headline "Energy Dept. called ill-suited to loan project."
"Friedman also criticized the administration for touting the existence of 'shovel-ready' projects" that did not exist, noted O'Keefe.

of giving away, loaning or guaranteeing loans of money to anyone for any reason. That includes foreign aid, the U.N., etc. Need a loan? Go to a bank. Can't get a loan? Get 2 or 3 jobs and save for what you need.
The federal gov't should collect a modest flat tax from every working person to provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare (with STRICT limitations) and ensure the blessings of liberty for our nation.
Individual states should be collecting and spending the lion's share of taxes. Our money should stay in our states, providing services and jobs locally. We are seeing the results of states having to enforce immigration law, going broke over entitlements and pensions. Let each state set their own standards for providing services. People will flock to the states that provide the services that they require for the least amount of taxes. They will gravitate to where the best schools are, the death penalty has an express lane, illegal aliens are forbidden jobs and entitlements and the laws are enforced equally.
No one entity should be collecting taxes and giving them to another entity. Period.

Darlington precision driver Paul Swift's special powers to be put to test in US TV series
6:00pm Thursday 20th March 2014 in News By Matt Westcott
DARLINGTON precision driver, Paul Swift, is to star in a US television series about people with special powers.
Swift, who runs Paul Swift Precision Driving, is the self-professed squadron leader of the BBC's Top Gear Live stunt driving team and son of the legendary Russ Swift.
He has travelled to Las Vegas to film the series Stan Lee's Superhumans.
The series is co-hosted by Stan Lee, the legendary creator of the X-Men and scours the globe for the real-life counterparts of Lee's characters.
These include a man whose body is powerfully magnetic, another who can withstand deadly levels of cold and yet another whose brain performs complex calculations at staggering speeds.
"Its a series about people with unique skills," Swift said. "They are looking for genetic traits and people who have abilities that aren't normal.
"I think they have asked me because of my reactions and my spacial awareness. They are doing it at the speedway and will set up a mirrored maze which I have to work my way through."
The programme will be a shown on the Discovery Channel on a date to be announced.

Great Valiant Comics, terrible Conan comics, mediocre Marvel Comics... yes, it's another memorable week of floppies.
Look kids! Comics!

Are our reviewers cranky this week or was it a bad week for comics?
Chris Wunderlich considers the effect of race on comics and music.
Wow, Action Comics is really good.
It's a love/hate week for floppy comics, but you'll definitely love our writers' takes on them.

The more I play Destiny, the more I struggle to define what keeps drawing me back in.
On the surface, there's a lot to offer. Perhaps it's the way Destiny manages to recycle much of the same content while still keeping it fresh and enjoyable — something many other MMOs have not been able to do. The combat is satisfying in a way that many shooters fail to execute correctly, because they either make the enemies too easy or too difficult. Charging through the nameless hordes, organically pouring out of dropships or quietly shuffling around the guarded shells of a dead Earth, continues to excite especially after you find that great new weapon or apply that upgrade.
The grind still exists and Destiny isn't pretending it isn't there — it's just going out of its way to make sure you're still having fun while doing it.

Peach and citrus, sugary malty. Sweet and bubbly. not as spiced as Unibroue can be. Nicely aged.
Had again almost two years later in a relatively inexpensive gift pack brought in by LCBO. Seemed fresher and very enjoyable. Yeast not as interesting as when I had several of my first set of trippels.

Pours a murky orange-brown with a foamy bone colored head that settles to a film on top of the beer. Small streaks and dots of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of malt, grain, fruits, honey, and yeast. Taste is much the same with some slight spice flavors on the finish. This beer has a good level of carbonation with a crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a good beer with some nice aromas and flavors that make it easy to drink.

Pours a bit dark with the style with a billowing white head and a bit of lacing. Nice Belgian spice with some fruity aromas. Taste is similar with the addition of some clove. Medium body with good spicing. Drinkability isn't quite as good as many of the stalwarts of the style. Despite a nice taste, it doesn't leave me clamoring for more.

A: The beer poured cloudy dark yellow in color with a finger high creamy white head that has excellent retention properties. A moderate amount of carbonation is visible from the rising bubbles.
S: There are moderate aromas of light fruits and spices in the nose along with some hints of alcohol. Smells of bananas and pears stand out in particular.
T: The taste is similar to the smell but the flavors of spices are a bit stronger and there is a mild amount of sweetness.
M: It feels medium-bodied and very smooth on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
D: The beer wasn't too difficult to drink considering its alcohol content, which is well hidden. I will definitely try this one again as it is one of the best representations of the style.

Carbonated honey with lemonade borders. The crown of foam, as expected, was massive before the first few ounces left the bottle. It's an especially regal shade of alabaster and is smoothy creamy rather than firmly rocky. Shotgun-blasted sheets of Belgian lace stick with authority. I love the look after a second pour adds a smattering of yeast to the glass.
The nose is all kinds of wonderful. Having said that, I'm not tempted to go with the big number. It's chock full of golden orchard fruit and has an ideal amount of yeasty spiciness. Just as I suspected, even a few degrees of warming opens things up beautifully.
Simply put, St. Bernardus Tripel is world-class. It doesn't happen often, but there's nothing about the flavor profile that I would change. It's as if the monks tweaked the recipe over hundreds of years until it was a model of perfectly balanced perfection. Actually, that's probably exactly what happened.
This may be the fruitiest tripel in existence. Each sip delivers a controlled explosion of buttery pears and crisp apples, sun-ripened melon and juicy pineapple. Honeyed pale malt anchors the bottom end with authority. Wrapping it all up in a neat little bow is a perfect (there's that word again) amount of clove and white pepper spiciness. It looks like Tripel Karmeliet has some competition at the top of my 'most favored tripels' list.
How can so many flavors and so many flavor sensations be present at once and how can they work so well together? Tripel is sweet and tangy and bitter and fruit and spicy... all at once. A well-crafted tripel is almost as pleasing to my taste buds as a hugely hoppy DIPA. And this is *definitely* a well-crafted tripel.
The mouthfeel falls a fraction short of perfection. It's medium for the style, with an admirable amount of silky smoothness, but it doesn't quite reach that state of effortlessly creamy expansiveness that is otherwise known as mouthfeel bliss.
Brouwerij St. Bernardus has never let me down. I've enjoyed each and every one of their creations and am especially thrilled with Tripel. It's on my short list of the world's best beers, no matter the style. I plan to stock up whenever the opportunity presents itself. Only next time I'm going for the 750s.

4.4/5 rDev +3.5%
Appearance: Pours a clear pale golden color with a frothy head that leaves strips of lacing
Smell: Tropical fruits, Candi sugar and a int of banana; very yeasty with plenty of phenols
Taste: Starts out very fruity with a tart undertone that develops and strengthens; quite peppery, in fact, a flavor that builds with a sneaky bitterness after the swallow; not as sweet and banana-flavored as other tripels
Mouthfeel: Light and frothy; almost velvety, with moderate carbonation; slight warmth in the gullet
Drinkability: Enticing and intriguing, this is an unusual and challenging tripel

Bottle: Poured lightly hazy dark yellowish ale with a super huge head with excellent retention. Carbonation was extremely good and body was a thinner then expected. Aroma is quite particular with some weird but enjoyable sweetness (like some crazy candy my kids would love) and good strong malt. The sweet malt dominates taste with some undertones consisting of soft spices, candi sugar and yeast. Wow, this one was quite a surprise and probably ranked very close to my top Abbey Tripel.

Hand's down, one of the world's best beers. Big aromas of ripe or over-ripe fruits. Sweet and mature. Balanced spiciness with a light yeast, musk, and dough-like mellowness. Looks copper-peach with a thick haze. Moderately carbonated and an ideal foamstand. Tastes are bold and mellow of ripe peaches, pears, pineapples, mangos, papayas. Spicy from belgian yeast...almost like nutmeg, corriander, curraco, alspice. Sweet and dough-ey yeast and a viscous musk flavor shows it's age. Sweet alcohol flavors add to the complexity. Viscous to the entire mouth, cut through by the alcohol. Finishes sweet and refreshing, mildly drying and spicy. This is certainly one to savor although easily drimkable.

A - Poured a deep brown with a small off white head that faded rather quickly. Lots of nice lace down the side of the glass.
S - Smell was very fruity, hints of grain, along with pears, plums, apricots and apples. Sloght hint of alcohol as well in the back.
M & T - First impression was very smooth, not really a biting flazvor though. Nice and mellow for a triple. Lots of fruity tones mixed in with a nice spiceness. Hints of apricots and pears were the most prominent, along with a big alcohol kick.
D - Overall this was a nice triple and good beer. A little big to be an everyday one, but I really did enjoy it and it can occupy a spot in my fridge anytime.

Best Before: 19 07 10.
Appearance: Pours a clear, bright, orangey-gold body topped proudly with an inch of white foam.
Smell: Sweetish, malty nose with hints of spicy hops, fruit-flavored bubblegum, booze, and more candy.
Taste: Sweet pale maltiness with a tiny bit of breadiness to it. Large dose of toffee candy. Drop of lemon extract, a drop of vanilla extract. Spicy, flowery hops with a medium-low bitterness. Splash of bubblegum liqueur with its accompanying alcohol heat. Tiniest bit of sourness rides into the otherwise sweetish finish. After a few sips, a growing taste of black pepper develops.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Sticky mouthfeel. Medium-high, slightly prickly carbonation.
Drinkability: Another very good tripel from the St. Bernard Brewery-err, I mean Brouwerij. Though, for me, when pit side-by-side with the Watou Tripel, I do defer to the Watou.

This poured out as a really nice golden yellow color with a fluffy white colored head on top. The smell of some spice, yeast, and banana were on the nose in this brew. The taste of the beer was nice lightly spiced with a soft sweetness in there as well. The mouthfeel of this brew was soft, medium bodied and quite enjoyable. Overall I found this to be one of the better Tripels I've had.

Poured a hazy peach color with a huge blooming (almost to much) head that consumed the whole beer now a fluffy head on top of a Belgian tripel is nice but this went a bit overboard.I notice a little funk in the aroma like a saison in some ways with its mentioned funk and peppery spice with just a light note of citrus,quite spicey on the palate cloves coriander and black pepper really come thru with an underlying candi suger elemant.A nice creamy mouthfeel lended itself well to this brew.A nice tripel but I have had better the Witkap tripel I had just yesterday to me was more broad and enjoyable,all in all not bad but to me not worth the hype.

Served in a St. Bernardus chalice.
That monk is just so dern happy all the time! He must be enjoying nigh-constant Bernardus brews... This-a one pours a clear pale golden straw topped by nearly a finger of white micro-foam. The nose comprises heavy clove and pepper, banana, spicy yeast, a tiny bit o' that farmhouse stuff (hmm), and some lemon zest. basically, it smells like a tripel. The taste follows, brining those spices to the fore, backed by some nice banana and citurs blends, and finishing with a nice flourish of pepper and cardamom. The body is a fluffy medium, with a sharp carbonation and a somewhat dry finish. Overall, a very nice, nearly archetypal tripel. Get some, and be as happy as the monk!

12oz. bottle, BB date 01 06 09.
Pours a hazy peach tone, plenty of dense white foam. Lace sticks around for the duration of the glass. Tiny streams of capillary carbonation permeate the orange liquid.
Smells like pilsner malt, it has a certain lightness, but not a big bouquet.
Taste is fairly mild, carried by a velvety mouthfeel. Light sweetness, no fruit, but a little alcohol spiciness. Estery yeast, similar to a Wit or Hefe. Hint of toffee, but it's gone in a flash. Dry aftertaste, easy to drink...
In the end i'm not terribly impressed, but will give it another shot. A fresher bottle may yield different results.

Outside the Michigan Capitol the day of the vote, union protesters tore down the large organizational tent of the pro-right-to-work free-market group Americans for Prosperity and punched Fox News contributor Steven Crowder. It could have been worse. Crowder sustained a chipped tooth and a small cut on his forehead. But it was notable who was doing the punching.
At least it should have been. Some on the left have condemned Crowder for having the temerity to get assaulted (or as Stephen Douglas said of Charles Sumner before he was caned by Preston Brooks: "That damn fool will get himself killed by some other damn fool"). A writer at the website Gawker argued, in effect, that it was really stupid of Crowder to get in the way of a mob involved in the good, clean work of trashing other people's property.
Opponents of right-to-work complained of the rapid legislative action in Michigan during a lame-duck session. But Michigan's GOP legislators didn't want to repeat the experience of Wisconsin, where lawmakers were hounded and personally threatened in a drawn-out fight over collective bargaining.
The business of banging drums, shouting and occupying buildings is not about rational persuasion so much as a show of muscle to intimidate.
These aren't tactics favored by the right, and if they were it would be an ongoing national scandal. It was considered a danger to the republic at the inception of the tea party when constituents merely asked sharp questions of the late Sen. Arlen Specter and booed at a town hall meeting.
The same standards will never apply to the unions. Not that they would abide by them. Too much is at stake. For them, the Wisconsin and Michigan fights are fundamentally about power. They need the coercive power of the state to force as many people as possible to become members and cough up dues. And they need the dues to fund the election of politicians who will protect their interests. By inserting worker choice into the equation, right-to-work risks crimping the whole enterprise.
So they will fight and claw - civility be damned.

North American mills have the capacity to supply nearly all the steel needs of the "new domestic" automakers—even higher value-added and advanced high-strength steels.
Nucor Corp. supplies material to the new domestics as well as the Detroit-area Big Three automakers, said John Ferriola, chief operating officer of the Charlotte, N.C.-based mini-mill steelmaker. "We have not failed to be able to produce a type of steel that has been requested," he said, touting the capacity of the company's Berkeley, S.C., mill to provide a range of dual- and complex-phase steels that are both strong and formable.
Some in the industry claim that the new domestics are easier to work with than the Detroit automakers because they plan further ahead and communicate more clearly with their suppliers. "That statement was true many years ago," Ferriola acknowledged. "Today, frankly, we've worked very hard—as have other companies—to improve communications between the steel users and the steel producers."
U.S. Steel Corp., Pittsburgh, thinks it knows what both the new domestics and Detroit automakers are looking for.

Naomi Watts and Amy Adams are being eyed by Eastwood to fill the role of Helen Gandy (Hoover's personal secretary).

Classroom Spotlight: Out of Door Academy
Date: March 17, 2010
by: Maria Amodio | Observer Intern
Third-graders at Out of Door Academy have spent weeks preparing for their production of "Five a Day Live," a play about the importance of eating fruits and vegetables. The Observer caught up with them to find out what they've learned.
Max Ruschau, age 9, plays the role of Anthony Apple
Why are you putting on this play?
"We want to tell everyone that five-to-nine serving of fruits and vegetables every day can make you healthy and strong."
Why are apples good for you?
"They have a lot of Vitamin C and Vitamin A."
What does Vitamin C do?
"It's kind of like the sun. It helps you get sun."
What's your favorite type of apple?
"The red ones."
Gracie Schlotthauer, age 8, plays Paula Pumpkin
What foods do you like that have pumpkin in them?
"I like pumpkin pie, especially at Thanksgiving."
What is your favorite part of your costume?
"I don't know because the wig is itchy but the bottom has wires in it ... "
Anthony Squitieri, "almost 9," plays the role of a rockin' banana
Why are bananas good for you?
"Because they're high in protein and potassium."
What happens if you don't eat fruits and vegetables?
"You'll go to the doctor with a cane at the age of 9."
What's your favorite part of your costume?
"Definitely the guitar."
Caroline Lafoe, age 8, plays Brenda Blueberry
Why did you choose this role?
"Because it's fun. I get to be in the Vitamin C song and I get to dance."
What have you learned about fruits and vegetables?
"You have to eat one fruit or vegetable with Vitamin C every day."

"They have Vitamin C in them."
What foods do you like that have lime in them?
"I don't think I've ever had one."
Does fruit-flavored candy count as a serving of fruit?
"No, it can't be candy. Candy's not healthy and it has a lot of sugar."

I completed the turf wars and it became an obsession rather than fun what with all the bugs in the turf wars themselves. That part of the game felt 75% completed, or rather, not fully playtested.
I recently tried to play SA again and opened up the second area then just lost interest. IIRS I never really fully played it the first time. I finished it but never really explored it! Reply 0
"I remember playing through the part where you battle rioters to gain control of areas of the city, and hoping that it was all going to end soon."
That was one mission right? After that it was completely optional if you wanted to do it or not. I've heard of other people (also a mate of mine) dropping the game at that point because they thought they couldn't complete all the turf wars.
I mean come on! Reply +1

Yesterday I watched toms run before doing mine and still managed to put in a worse performance. This after the best run I've ever managed in the normal game.

50,525 level 2-1... am I getting better? I'm not sure to be honest, got a higher score but then everyone starts going on about a different scoring system that makes them look better (and me worse).
So here's my scoring system to make me look good and you worse. You start off with 100 points and every minute you last you subtract 1 point. I fail to score less than 60-70 with this method.
Pheer my 1337 skillz. Reply +1
What I really like is the sense of utter disbelief when tom dies. I can imagine him just sat in a pub somewhere staring out of the window.
"I could have made it you know, I could have been an achiever!" Reply +4
Day 5 - 20,000 or thereabouts and level 3-2 - that a +1 level improvement on my personal best.
I died right next to the exit :( Reply 0
I managed 1-3 yesterday with a very low score. For some reason I just jumped into an spike despite there being no need to even move in that direction. Reply +1

Starship Command retrospective
Wow did anyone here actually play this? At the time it was a technical achievement, fully rotating play field on an 8bit computer? I mean come on that kind of stuff sold games back then! The fact that it was quite a fiddly game to play compared other titles out out at the time is probably what confined it to the ranks of interesting, how did he do that? But ultimately dropped because it was a bit of a head-fuck to play to begin with.
Loved it myself but the lack of upgrades etc was what let it down. I suppose at the time this was not common design knowledge to keep players interested.

The E.T. excavation: Why we need to remember the industry's biggest flop
"The concept of the burial itself is such an anomaly in the pop-culture retail world - that a brand would just mass dump its products. I don't think there's any other example I can think of of that happening," Iannitti ponders."
Sony do this every new year with the unsold games that it has taken a gamble on and printed huge amounts for the Holiday / Christmas period. Rather than have them sell for low amounts they destroy them (actually in the UK they landfill them). Commercially this makes complete makes sense so as to not reduce the value of new PS3 games in the market place.
I heard this from a close friend who used to work at a Sony partner warehouse. He managed the destruction of many titles that hadn't sold as expected every year. Can't be any more specific than that as he still consults for them. Reply +2

Yorkfield Extreme Edition based on the 45nm Penry core architecture will meet heads-on with AMD Altair based on the 65nm K8L core in Q3 2007. Both are quad core offerings but AMD touted theirs to be a native quad-core with dedicated 512KB L2 cache for each core and an additional 2MB L3 cache for the 4 cores to share. Intel has different plans for Yorkfield. Instead of sharing L2 cache for all the cores, the L2 cache size is further increased. Due to its advanced 45nm process technology, Yorkfield XE is able to pack a total of 12MB L2 cache (2 x 6MB L2) and still achieving a much smaller die size. The clock speed is significantly higher at 3.46-3.74GHz too.
Yorkfield will feature Penryn New Instructions (PNI) or more officially known as SSE4 with 50 more new instructions. Yorkfield XE will pair up nicely with the Bearlake-X chipset supporting DDR3 1333, PCI Express 2.0 and ICH9x coming in the Q3 '07 timeframe as well. It is hard to predict which architecture will win eventually but it seems like AMD has packed more innovations into their K8L architecture while Intel moving onto 45nm process benefits its Yorkfield greatly in terms of lower power consumption, higher clock speed and a much bigger L2 cache. Certainly it is exciting ahead of us.
