I just tried a beer from a batch I bottled a couple of weeks ago and it tastes like my Homer bucket. Why? Because while I was collecting my first runnings, I thought it to be a good idea to collect it in my Home Depot homer bucket which I have calibrated to show me how much I have collected from my mash. This hot wort sat in the bucket for at least an hour while I heated up my sparge water and sparged into the same bucket (why? so I could see how much total wort I collected, of course). Apparently hot liquid gets the plastic going and the awesome Homer flavor went into my beer.
So the question of the day is SHOULD I DUMP THIS THING AND GO ON WITH MY LIFE? Or are the yeasties really that magical and can take away orange bucket flavor?
*Side note: I made two more batches using this method which I have not bottled yet. I tasted them this morning to see if they were affected as well. Tasted fine. WTF?
tuck it away in a dark corner for a few months and then taste it again
Really? plastic flavor will go away? I will totally save it if it's worth it. But plastic?
what stage is it in now ?
have you bottled it?
is it still in the fermenter ?
Where in the brewing process is this beer?
and what type of beer is it ?
Two weeks in the bottle.
Irish Red AG
pack it away.
the taste of homer should fade some over time !
and really I keep stuff like that around for the booze mooches. We all know one or 12 !!!
Thanks Cheeto. Looks like this sucker's going away for a while.
If it's not gone after a few months, I'll just go hand it out in the Home Depot parking lot.
the local mission is where most of my "limited editions" get given out !
If it tastes like the chemical found in a cheap home depot bucket, do you want to be drinking that, even if it doesn't taste as badly after a period of time? That chemical residue isn't going anywhere.
They made that bucket somewhere as cheaply as possible in order for it to be useful enough for holding liquid paint.

Mr BRUMBULL.....COME ON FOLKS, ALL TOGETHER...YOU ARE A WEIRDO.
Spain? come on old chap. You haven't got two beans to rub together.
gotta laugh
Notice this guy cant sleep. He posts in the early hours when his hot water bottle leaks....oops! not his water bottle He sleeps too much during the day me thinks.
well, I have his mugshot, know to an extent where he lives and we will take it from there....when I visit his area for a cuppa and a garibaldi
Im not going to know if he posts now as Im ignoring him and his aliases to date. Lets just alert the forum when we suspect another alias. Ignoring as from now
David....folks. Brumbull is posting as a former forum member here, viz., SOTONGEOFF. I think that might be an offence...Daniel, is it?
I have reported Brumbull and his aliases to Daniel but he is now making fun out of everyone here.
If anyone here thinks this guy is amusing then get real. He is really weird.
Well folks, I notice he's posted as SOTONGEOFF...a guy he hounded off this forum a couple of years back. We got that wrong didn't we?
Folks, I have reported to Daniel, have spoken with a family member in the local CID, think I have a picture of Mr Brumbull (this guy really will not know whats hit him if I see him, and I most surely will) and have got my teeth into this issue now as a priority. I have always managed to sort issues and this will not be the exception.
Brumbull is posting to beat the ignore button so lets keep focussed and reject him when he pops up.
I hope Swiss Sue now recognises what I pmed her about a while back and now ignores him.
For the record, I think I have worked him out as a loner...Albert???...living in a tiny bedsit and currently munching on a broken garibaldi biscuit with crumbs all over his lap. sorry folks....gotta laugh at him. He cannot spell, put words together grammatically and cannot quite remember what character he is purporting to be. He has fantasies about having the most popular threads and counts his "views"....read his own posts about this.
This is supposed to be a friendly forum for many good things. Think about the issues that have occurred and Mr Brumbull has caused every single one of them
Folks, its up to you. Only one guy is spoiling things here...if you allow it
Sorry folks. Brumbull is up to his old tricks again this time targetting me and using different names. He did this before. I will look Imto this now and try to stop him ....just wish I could locate him a little better but that will come. I have a bro in law in police force and will consult with him about this form of harrassment. Will inform Daniel too and hope others will do the same.
I hope any of you supporting him and Chrisabel....one and the same...will now realise he is the weirdo on the forum causing so much distress to posters here. Please ignore or he will contimue to cause trouble here
I now realise it was mr Brumbull who created a big issue some 18 months ago with another poster and who again caused problems when he "returned" late last summer with his FORKERS threads.
Cant work this fellow out but sure that he is a little odd and lives in a fantasy world.
Sorry folks.....this guy is pure trouble and it's about time it was spoken about.
Sounds good JIMMY. I think you are right to weed out those you don't like though and increase the quality of your stock.
Think I told of the time a neighbour allowed his dog to poo on my drive. I picked it up, rang his doorbell and duly deposited it on his doorstep. Told him I was returning his property. Never had a problem with him since and, in fact, we now get on very well
Somehow people need to stand up to bullies and the like ...it's the only way to gain their respect
Ok, better come clean. Someone I think is a weirdo here and by now we all know who he is is playing silly games again and posted under another name to me ( almost feel stalked folks cos it really is creepy but I am a 6' plus guy without such worry).
Lily, that was a great joke.....I almost fork got that one
Springfield, You won't get further damage now until next August at the earliest (from leatherjackets etc) so that's when you would apply nematodes.
Until this year I've used lawn grub killer to great effect. Now this product is banned so nematodes is only solution.
What a coincidence......my mother's name is Christabel.
Hopefully....all other things permitting......I will go to Bosvigo tomorrow

4. Talk positively to and about yourself every day
Sounds corny, I know. But it works. Keep reminding yourself:
- This is my chance to find the job I truly want and possibly make more money.
- I know there are jobs where I can help hiring managers fill a role.
- I can convince them that I am the best hire for them, even in a crowded market.
- I am optimistic and excited to be in job-search mode, as I will learn and get better every day.
5. Get professional help
If you have been looking for a job for a long time without success, it's reasonable that you feel down. But if you don't deal with the problem, you'll likely continue experiencing and feeling defeat.
Get some help from a counselor, a therapist or another professional who can help you regain your perspective. You need to deal with this, along with any other toxic mindsets, to give yourself the best chance of landing the job you really want.

Search for crew suspended after yacht found along with life raft
The US Coast Guard has suspended its search for four missing British crew members, including two from Somerset. They located the Cheeki Rafiki a week after the vessel went missing and later discovered its life raft still secured aboard.
Search called off after unused life raft found in yacht
Hopes of finding two missing Somerset sailors and their crew mates have all but faded tonight after their capsized yacht was discovered in the Atlantic.
The US coastguard said an unused life raft was found on board and they called off their search in the early hours of this morning.
Today the Prime Minister David Cameron said his thoughts were with the families.
Ken Goodwin reports:
Prime Minister: 'My thoughts are with the families'
The Prime Minister has said his thoughts are with families of the crew of the Cheeki Rafiki after the boat's upturned hull was found, with the life raft still in place.
Mr Cameron said: "My thoughts are with the families and friends of the crew of the Cheeki Rafiki after the sad news that its hull has been found with the life raft unused."
He added: "My sincere thanks to the US Coast Guard for leading the international search with great dedication - and to the US Navy, the Canadian authorities and to our own RAF C-130 aircraft who took part in it."
Chances of finding yacht crew 'non-existent now'
A spokesman for the World Cruising Club, which organises boat races around the world, has said the changes of finding the crew of the Cheeki Rafiki yacht are now "non-existent".
Jeremy Wyatt told the BBC: : "I think we have to be realistic and face facts that they're not in a raft and therefore the chances of finding anyone are non-existent now."
"In some ways it's a hard fact, but I think, after a week of searching, it's really the only conclusion you can safely draw," he added.
Read: Search for crew suspended after yacht found along with life raft
RAF plane cancels search for missing yacht crew
An RAF Hercules plane will no longer search for the missing Cheeki Rafiki yachtsmen today after the US Coast Guard discovered its life raft was still on board the capsized vessel, the Foreign Office said.
US Coast Guard will still cancel search despite hull find
A US Navy warship helicopter crew located the overturned hull of the Cheeki Rafiki 1,000 miles offshore Massachusetts and within the US Coast Guard's search area, Friday.
The warship diverted to the location and deployed a boat crew and surface swimmer to assess the boat.
The surface swimmer confirmed the name on the ship was Cheeki Rafiki and went in the water to investigate further. The swimmer determined the boat's cabin was flooded and windows were shattered, contributing to the complete flooding inside.
– US Coastguard statement
The U.S. Coast Guard made an announcement that search operations would be suspended at midnight Friday unless new information or sightings suggested the crew would still be alive. None of the current developments indicate that to be the case.
US Coastguard statement due soon on yacht search
The US Coastguard has says nothing has changed at this point in terms of their intentions to scale down the operation at 5am UK time. A friend of the families of the crew has said they have been at a meeting at the Foreign Office tonight and are aware of the news.
Reports: Hull of missing yacht found in North Atlantic
The US Coast Guard reportedly said it has found the hull of the missing Cheeki Rafiki yacht in the North Atlantic Ocean.
Families won't give up hope in search for missing sailors
The families of two Somerset sailors missing in the Atlantic say they haven't given up hope their loved ones will be found, despite being told the US Coastguard search will end tomorrow morning.
Steve Warren and Paul Goslin were on board the Cheeki Rafiki with two other men when contact was lost a week ago. Their families have been meeting with the Foreign Office today. Clare Forestier has the story.
One of the last photos taken of missing sailors
Family statement released on missing sailors
The Foreign Office have released a statement this lunchtime from the families of the four missing British sailors including two from Somerset. The statement thanks people for their support and says the families will be meeting with the Foreign Office to talk about UK involvement in searches.
The families of James Male, Andrew Bridge, Paul Goslin and Steve Warren still hold out much hope that their loved ones will be found soon. They have received so much support from the public and the yachting community, hearing endless stories of people that have survived many weeks and months in different circumstances at sea and have drawn much strength from this.
They were obviously saddened to hear that the US Coast Guard will be suspending the search. But, they were prepared for the fact that this would have to happen.
– Family Statement, Foreign Office
They are meeting with the Foreign Office later on today, to talk about UK involvement and any other avenues that can be explored.
Having spent the week getting to know each other better, along with hearing the endless accounts of survivors, the families are reassured that their men would work as an efficient and cohesive team. This gives them additional hope that they will still be found, as the US Coast Guard have found no evidence to the contrary.

So I'm looking for some more speed through some pretty short grass. My dog (a boxer) chases it and he is getting a little more "comfortable" with it so i need to outrun him lol. Pede is stock 2wd vxl running the stock 7 cell batt and stock 19/86 gearing. I'm gonna go lipo eventually but I wanted to get a golden horizons alum gearbox to keep temps down before I do. Any other tips to get some more speed? Is there a tire that works better in grass than the talons? Would that give me more speed or just better acceleration? With the alum gearbox could I run a 3s lipo without causing temp damage? Will a 2s lipo give me like 5 more mph through the grass? Sorry for all the questions.
Some new pics for your troubles lol. Lowered the body and put strc alum steering blocks on.

how to save and play depth and color videos using this package? I mean instead of having to connect the Kinect, I'm asking how can I use the Kinect to save depth and color videos and then use the example to read the data from videos instead of the Kinect?
Now my kinect xbox 360 works with matlab without using openni. I had the problem "The Kinect Sensor is either not Powered or is not supported" with microsoft windows sdk 1.7, but with microsoft windows sdk 1.8 the problem has disappeared.
Francesco, how did you fix your error? Im getting the same one "The Kinect Sensor is either not Powered or is not supported"
Do you mean the depth data or the metadata with XYZ information about each skeleton joint?
A general example on how to use all modes is available here: http://www.mathworks.com/help/imaq/examples/using-the-kinect-r-for-windows-r-from-image-acquisition-toolbox-tm.html
I have install the support package but I couldn't get the xyz data. When I run getdata(vidSrcDepth) 4-D frame data all same. Can you help me to optain x y z data if possible?

After tumbling as low as the 101.30 level overnight on atrocious GDP data, it was the same atrocious GDP data that slowly became the spin needed to push the USDJPY higher as the market became convinced that like everywhere else, bad news is great news and a relapse in the Japanese economy simply means more QE is coming from the BOJ despite the numerous articles here, and elsewhere, explaining why this very well may not be the case. Furthermore, as we noted last night, comments by the chairman of the GPIF panel Takatoshi Ito that the largest Japanese bond pension fund should cut its bond holdings to 40% were used as further "support" to weaken the Yen, and what was completely ignored was the rebuttal by the very head of the GPIF who told the FT that demands were unfair on an institution that has been functionally independent from government since 2006. The FSA "should be doing what they are supposed to be doing, without asking too much from us," he said, adding that the calls for trillions of yen of bond sales from panel chairman Takatoshi Ito showed he "lacks understanding of the practical issues of this portfolio." What he understands, however, is that in the failing Japanese mega ponzi scheme, every lie to prop up support in its fading stock market is now critical as all it would take for the second reign of Abe to end is another 10% drop in the Nikkei 225.

Overnight Rally, Driven By "Creative" Chinese Trade Data, FizzlesSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 02/12/2014 08:08 -0400
After initially sending the all important USDJPY carry pair - and thus all risk assets - into rally mode, the initial euphoria over manipulated Chinese trade data (see China Trade Puzzle Revived as Hong Kong Data Diverge), has all but fizzled and at last check the USDJPY was sliding to its LOD, approaching 102 from the wrong side. That, and a statement by the ECB's Coeure that the ECB is "very seriously" considering a negative deposit rate (and that the OMT is ready to be used even though it obviously isn't following the latest brewhaha from the German top court) have so far defined the overnight session, the latter having sent the EUR sliding across all major pairs.

A Walk-Thru The First Shadow Bank Run... 250 Year AgoSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 02/07/2014 16:23 -0400
Plain vanilla bank runs are as old as fractional reserve banking itself, and usually happen just before or during an economic and financial collapse, when all trust (i.e. credit) in counterparties disappears and it is every man, woman and child, and what meager savings they may have, for themselves. However, when it comes to shadow bank runs, which take place when institutions are so mismatched in interest, credit and/or maturity exposure that something just snaps as it did in the hours after the Lehman collapse, that due to the sheer size of their funding exposure that they promptly grind the system to a halt even before conventional banks can open their doors to the general public, the conventional wisdom is that this is a novel development (and one which is largely misunderstood). It isn't.

It is still all about the Yen carry which overnight tumbled to the lowest level since November, dragging the Nikkei down by 4.8% which halted its plunge at just overf 14,000, only to stage a modest rebound and carry US equity futures with it, even if it hasn't helped the Dax much which moments ago dropped to session lows and broke its 100 DMA, where carmakers are being especially punished following a downgrade by HSBC of the entire sector. Also overnight the Hang Seng entered an official correction phase (following on from the Nikkei 225 doing the same yesterday) amid global growth concerns and has filtered through to European trade with equities mostly red across the board. Markets have shrugged off news that ECB's Draghi is seeking German support in the bond sterilization debate, something which we forecast would happen a few weeks ago when we pointed out the relentless pace of SMP sterilization failures, with analysts playing down the news as the move would only add a nominal amount of almost EUR 180bln to the Euro-Area financial system. Elsewhere, disappointing earnings from KPN (-4.3%) and ARM holdings (-2.5%) are assisting the downward momentum for their respective sectors.

The Bernank CelebratesSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 01/31/2014 22:49 -0400
In economics the chicken must always come home to roost. Man can only live beyond his means for so long. Bernanke's reputation hinges upon the market not tanking as his successors close up the spout of gushing currency. The endpoint is coming. When it happens, the house of cards will tumble down. And with it will come the livelihoods and hopes of many. With every boom there is a bust. It's an immutable fact of government intervention into the economy. As Bill Bonner writes, articles full of lavishing praise for Bernanke will begin appearing in coming weeks. Writing puff pieces on state bureaucrats is often a high-paying gig. But they all reveal a particular trend: celebrating the wise achievements of someone empowered to govern society. When businessmen are praised in print, their accomplishments are chalked up as minor victories reserved for the few. When the selfless man of charity is given his due, the praise is mild. When a lord of government sees the pages of a major periodical, it's the kind of brown-nosing that would make a teacher's pet uncomfortable. For now, Bernanke will bask in exaltation. But his just deserts are coming. You can bet $4 trillion on it.

Guest Post: The Big Reset, Part 2Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/25/2014 21:30 -0400
The US wants its dollar system to prevail for as long as possible. It therefore has every interest in preventing a 'rush out of dollars into gold'. By selling (paper) gold, bankers have been trying in the last few decades to keep the price of gold under control. This war on gold has been going on for almost one hundred years, but it gained traction in the 1960's with the forming of the London Gold Pool. Just like the London Gold Pool failed in 1969, the current manipulation scheme of gold (and silver prices) cannot be maintained for much longer.

Germany Has Recovered A Paltry 5 Tons Of Gold From The NY Fed After One YearSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 01/19/2014 23:35 -0400
On December 24, we posted an update on Germany's gold repatriation process: a year after the Bundesbank announced its stunning decision, driven by Zero Hedge revelations, to repatriate 674 tons of gold from the New York Fed and the French Central Bank, it had managed to transfer a paltry 37 tons. This amount represents just 5% of the stated target, and was well below the 84 tons that the Bundesbank would need to transport each year to collect the 674 tons ratably over the 8 year interval between 2013 and 2020. The release of these numbers promptly angered Germans, and led to the rise of numerous allegations that the reason why the transfer is taking so long is that the gold simply is not in the possession of the offshore custodians, having been leased, or worse, sold without any formal or informal announcement. However, what will certainly not help mute "conspiracy theorists" is today's update from today's edition of Die Welt, in which we learn that only a tiny 5 tons of gold were sent from the NY Fed. The rest came from Paris.

When A Stock Bubble Goes Horribly Wrong And Hyperinflation ResultsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 01/10/2014 19:01 -0400
Perhaps the most amusing and curious aspect of this entertaining summary of the Mississippi Bubble of 1720, the resulting European debt crisis (the first of many), how bubble frenzies are as old as paper money, the man behind both - convicted murderer and millionaire gambler, John Law, what happens when paper money's linkage to gold is broken, and how everyone loses their wealth and hyperinflation breaks out, is who the source is. The New York Fed. Perhaps the Fed-employed authors fail to grasp just what their institution does, or have a truly demonic sense of humor. In either case, the following "crisis chronicle" highlighting how banking worked then, how it works now, and how it will always "work", is a must read by all.

Goldman's Payrolls Postmortem: Weak Job Report But Fed Still Tapers Another $10 Billion In JanuarySubmitted by Tyler Durden on 01/10/2014 11:19 -0400
The firm that advises its former employee Bill Dudley on how to run the New York Fed, speaks. Goldman's bottom line: bad jobs report, the weather was at fault (and apparently all those economists who had expectations of a 200K print were unaware it was cold out there until today) but the Fed will still taper by another $10 billion in January.

Gold Flash Crashes, Halts Trading As "Velocity Logic" Circuit Breakers TriggeredSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 01/06/2014 11:24 -0400
UPDATE: Gold futures are back in the green for the day... (and Bitcoin is back under $1000)
Rumors of a 'fat finger' abound from the gold futures pits but the precious metals complex just collapsed instantaneously... and the market was halted for the now traditional 10 seconds as circuit breakers were triggered, only this time instead of Stop Logic the event was "Velocity Logic" or lack thereof. Of course, the timing is perfect as it occurs right before the first POMO of the new year.

Fed's Bill Dudley: The Fed Doesn't Fully Understand How QE WorksSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 01/04/2014 13:56 -0400
Well, it took three years, but finally the Goldman Sachs-based head of the New York Fed, Bill Dudley, admitted what we all knew. From a speech just given by NY Fed's Bill Dudley at the 2014 AEA meeting in Philadelphia:
"We don't understand fully how large-scale asset purchase programs work to ease financial market conditions"
Or, in other words, "we still don't know how QE works." It just does (thank you Kevin Henry). And this coming from the people who want their word to become equivalent to gospel in a time when QE is being phased out and replaced with forward guidance. Luckily, at least the Fed knows all about how "forward guidance" works.

A Year Later, The Bundesbank Has Repatriated Only 37 Tons Of Gold (Of 700 Total)Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/24/2013 13:09 -0400
Procuring physical gold seems to be a rather problematic and time-consuming process, as the Bundesbank is learning. Yesterday Buba head Jens Weidmann told Bild that gold valued at €1.1 billion has been repatriated so far. Putting a weight to this number: to date the Bundesbank has received shipments of a paltry 37 tons of gold from its existing storage place in either New York or Paris to Germany: "The gold reserves of the country will be stored in Frankfurt because it has a special storage with the corresponding equipment," said Carl-Ludwig Thiele, a Bundesbank board member. The repatriated amount over the course of all of 2013 represents just over 5% of the total stated target of 700 tons, and is well below the 87.5 tons that the Bundesbank would need to repatriate each year if it were to collected the 700 tons ratably ever year in the 8 year interval between 2013 and 2020.

The more pressing point of discussion is that Claudia has been informed of Elizabeth and Philip's request to have her reassigned. Elizabeth says that can't have come as a huge surprise. Claudia narrows her eyes and says the whole thing ended up requiring her to fill out a 27-section form. Elizabeth: "I guess your job can be dangerous, too." Still more repetitive dick-measuring from these two, with all the old refrains. Elizabeth thinks Claudia is a soulless monster. Claudia thinks Elizabeth doesn't know half of what she thinks she knows about being a good spy. Round and round. "I know you better than you know yourself," Claudia says, taking a bite of the suspicious eggs Florentine. "And you don't know me at all."
At the travel agency, Elizabeth relays the news about the Colonel meeting and Prince's detention. Philip says the bug in Agent John-Boy's office has yielded a few hushed conversations that happened elsewhere, which could be any number of things. Basically, they won't know this is a set-up until they know. Elizabeth tells Philip that if this all does go bad, he needs to be packed and ready to go on the run with the kids immediately. Their timetable for this is very much shortened since Stan Beeman will be able to ID her on sight. (So... yet another reason why any other situation that wasn't the subject of a contrived TV show would have had Philip and Elizabeth re-assigned the moment Stan moved next door?) Philip, oh so fucking predictably, tells her that it'll be her going on the run with the kids, since he's taking the meeting himself. Chivalrous and presumptuous until the last. Elizabeth's argument makes much more sense, of course. Not only is the Colonel her mission from her agent, but the kids currently have a much better relationship with Philip and will be much more willing to leave town at a moment's notice and not put up too much bullshit resistance if he's the one calling the shots. But Philip is the Man and the Man falls on his sword for his lady and blah blah blah. Besides, she needs Philip to pick up the tape at Weinberger's house. (The irony, of course, in case I needed to remind you, is that the set-up is at Weinberger's, not with the Colonel.) More posturing from the both of them, both of them trying to be the tough guy, until Elizabeth puts her foot down and plays the "the Centre said so" card. That trumps, for now.
At the FBI, Agents Stan and John-Boy are being briefed about the hows and whens of the recording device at Weinberger's. It's in the trunk of a nearby parked car, and when the agents want to retrieve the recording, they just pick it up at the car. Looks like Stan's forming a plan. He also stares at the sketches like they're about to give him some huge epiphany.

Letter: The media's 'useful idiots' cover up Obama's scandals
Peter Homan, Sebastian
Letter: The media's 'useful idiots' cover up Obama's scandals
"Useful idiots" is a term invented in Soviet Russia to describe people who blindly supported the likes of Lenin and Stalin while they committed numerous atrocities. The term can be applied to the sycophant mainstream media that trade journalism for covering up the plethora of Barack Obama scandals.
Fox reports the truth. When 241 Marines died in the Beirut terrorist attack in 1983, President Ronald Reagan did not go to bed for eight hours, not available to order support. Reagan did not fly away for a fund-raising event. Reagan did not blame a video. He stood up and took responsibility.
As with President Richard Nixon's Watergate scandal, the crime is the cover-up. In the Benghazi scandal, two former Navy SEALs freed some 30 hostages from terrorist attacks and fought for seven-and-a-half hours waiting for backup support. Backup support was ordered to stand down. The administration blamed the attack on a video and mainstream media reported that as truth. Twenty survivors have been ordered not to speak the truth by officials. Threats have silenced them.
The crime of this administration is the cover-up. Does anyone think Reagan would order support forces to stand down and let four Americans die? Fox News drew the expected sycophant media condemnation for reporting it. It was Fox News that revived the career of liberal news commentator Juan Williams with a job after he was fired by liberal NPR. Williams was fired because he spoke truth to power. Someday in the future, children of the "useful idiots" will come to appreciate Fox News' place in history as the critics of Churchill came to realize, despite attacks by the appeasers to Hitler, that he saved Great Britain from the Nazis.

MIAMI — LeBron James did something very horrible to Hawks forward Paul Millsap during a very big moment in Monday's Heat victory.
To Millsap's credit, he was later able to laugh off the moment in the wake of Atlanta's overtime loss at AmericanAirlines Arena.
For James, such moments are becoming routine, just ask Ben McLemore, with the Kings guard turned into a poster last week.

Yesterday we arrived in Israel around 2pm. The reunion with the rest of the gang was exactly what I expected, fantastic. We headed over to the rental car place and we were on our way to a market in Jerusalem before the Sabbath began to grab a bite to eat and a few small things we were missing. Wine being one of them. Driving was interesting. The roads look just like North American highways. But the landscape did not. I was surprised to see so many pine trees in the middle of the desert ...

The Dead Sea and our first kibbutz experience
Today we left Jerusalem early for a trip through the desert to Qumran before the heat of the desert could catch up with us. Qumran is a ruin from the days of the Second Temple on the northwest shore of the Dead Sea. It became famous in 1947 when a number of ancient manuscripts were found in nearby caves. These manuscripts are now known as the Dead Sea Scrolls. Since the site of Qumran ruins is very close to the Dead Sea, and the Dead Sea is 400 meters (1300 ft) below sea level, we had ...
The Ascent...
... It gave our guide time to discuss what we were seeing looking out at the Dead Sea and what we were seeing at Masada itself. Very cool to hear all about what life was like there while watching the sun come up behind the Dead Sea. After some walking around, led of course by our tour guide, we sat down for a brief discussion about what happened at Masada. That instead of facing the Romans and fighting them, the citizens agreed as a community to take their ...

TEAMS: Oregon State Beavers, Utah State Aggies, Michigan State Spartans, Wisconsin Badgers
All-in-all it was a 7-5 regular season for the Badgers and a lot of it had to do with the QB carrousel never stopping. It's never good when you have to talk about three quarterbacks making multiple starts, but that's exactly what happened to the Badgers. Yet, Wisconsin found a way to win it's third straight Big Ten championship - proving that in an era where the QB is king defense and running the football well can still win you championships. Having said that as they move into a new era with head coach Gary Andersen bringing in a new offensive coordinator in Andy Ludwig. It'll be a fresh start for everyone involved and that can only be a good thing for a group that needs to put 2012 in the rearview mirror and get a fresh start. Background Wisconsin started the season with "highly touted" transfer Danny O'Brien behind center, but things clearly weren't working after a lackluster opener against FCS foe Northern Iowa and a terrible p...

- Classy placeOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 8/30/2014If I lived closer I would be at this place more often, esp the beautiful bar area. Every time I've dined there the food, drink and service have been excellent. This time it was a birthday celebration and they called to confirm and to find out what my husband's name was. When we got there there was a nice card on the table from the chef to my husband personally expressing his looking forward to making our night special. What a nice touch! Everyone working there was super - nice and attentive. The drinks were awesome, the food equally so. Everyone was very impressed (some had not dined there before). We had a GREAT time. I love being able to reserve on Open Table too.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic Hidden Gem in AllentownOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/30/2014This is a five star restaurant you may not even know is there. Located downtown at around 6th and Hamilton, the Cosmopolitan boasts and outstanding ambience and a sophisticated menu. My husband and I are foodies, as well as self admitted wine snobs, and both the food and wine menus are impressive. We were a party of six, and the service was timed perfectly. If you are looking for a romantic and stylish setting with wonderful and creative menu selections, this is your place. An added bonus is the complimentary and speedy valet service. You are treated as a special guest in this establishment. We will definitely be back with more friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We'll be back !FoodluvDined on 8/22/2014Excellent meal - no complaints! Will definitely be returning !Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OutstandingOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/15/2014Foie gras was exceptional, Caesar salad wonderful. Scallops perfect, NY Strip (special menu) just a bit tough. Nonetheless, wonderful setting, food, and ambiance. Best restaurant in Allentown.Special Features:
- NeilRobin1Dined on 8/8/2014Definitely will return! Everything was delicious and far surpassed our expectations. The restaurant is beautiful. Thank you, Rebecca, for your helpful suggestions and tour! Can't wait to go back!Special Features:
- First TimedinnerdateDined on 8/7/2014This was my first time at the Cosmopolitan and I would definitely return. The service was excellent and the food was amazing. I was surprised that on a Thursday night there were only 5 other patrons but it provided a nice quiet backdrop for a great date night with my wife. I'm figuring that Music Fest was affecting the attendance but as I mentioned the food was amazing and the staff was friendly and knowledgeable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always a pleasant experienceJamieDined on 7/29/2014This is our fourth trip to Cosmopolitan - once for drinks, once for brunch, and twice for family birthdays. The staff always works hard to make sure the experience is special, and they are very attentive and take great care in dealing with any issues. The food is also generally quite good. The highlights from our recent dinner there were the grilled Romaine caesar salad and the veal chop.Special Features:
- Fantastic late lunchJeffVIPDined on 7/25/2014We have had dinner several times before which was very good. Lunch was even better. House made corned beef sandwich was perfect as well the fish and chips. We will be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always elegantDonnaDined on 7/22/2014We are never disappointed at Cosmopolitan. The atmosphere is sophisticated, service impeccable, and food is superb. Valet parking is a treat and our car was waiting for us when we left.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very Good...Butyank999VIPDined on 7/19/2014Good food and service, except they changed the menu and I was happy they took off some of my favoritesSpecial Features:
- Always excellentg2eatDined on 7/16/2014The Cosmopolitan is always excellent. Never a bad meal. Appreciate the valet service. Waitperson attentive and courteous, although set down used knife back on table cloth rather than replace it with clean, or, at least, place it on side plate. No outdoor seating, yet, but informed by host that it is planned. Prices high, which is OK, but to stay competitive in a rapidly evolving restaurant market in downtown the restaurant should offer a broader menu with additional less expensive options. While the new restaurant around the corner (The Hamilton) was hopping with a full patio of patrons, we counted only 8 other seated customers by the time we left at ~ 9:00. It almost seemed a little matronly, rather than elegantly chic.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not their best showing, but okMrsKruseVIPDined on 7/10/2014We come here fairly often, and this week's visit wasn't their strongest. Food was good but not stupendous...they had changed their specials without updating their website, and our server kind of disappeared after our main courses were checked on (a runner cleared our table, brought us dessert menus, etc).Special Features:
- Great as alwaysBikergal50Dined on 6/13/2014We visit here every few weeks and as always the food and service never disappoints!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FantasticshubzDined on 6/11/2014Perfect venue for a 20 year anniversary. Our experience was great from the time we exited the car! Our server (Rebecca??) was truly attentive to us. Food was beyond fabulous. Many good wishes to the restaurant and staff with the downtown revitalization!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great service for our anniversaryLeeEDined on 6/7/2014The restaurant is very nice with beautiful interior. The valet attendants were cheerful and attentive. We had a reservation and were sat immediately. The tables were about 75% full. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary. The wine and beer list was extensive. We ordered the cheese & meat plate appetizer and it came with some great selections (very tasty). We both ordered the filet. She likes hers well-well-done and we made that request (asked for it to be butterflied to be sure). I ordered mine medium. Hers came slightly pink and my was a little too done. We sent hers back and it came back perfect. Our server was great, talkative and interested in us. He was very responsive to our table. Overall good meal, nice place.Special Features:
- Good DateBdonDined on 5/31/2014This is a good place to take a girl on a date. Service is excellent, food's not bad, maybe a little overpriced, but overall good place.Special Features:
- Impeccable serviceStoliEliteDined on 5/29/2014Felt we experienced top shelf service and food to match. A bit pricey but the service and food is par with pricing so from standpoint it's a wash. Absolutely we will become frequent fliers.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- UnderwhelmingMS22Dined on 5/18/2014The service and food don't really match the atmosphere that I imagine the restaurant is going for. I've been here twice for brunch. The food is just alright, but at the same time I don't necessarily think they overcharge either (you can get away for about $10-12 for a brunch entree) so I guess that works out. The service is pretty below average. The second time I went to Cosmopolitan, I tried to order the bottomless mimosa deal. The server informed the table that they wouldn't be offering the deal because "they were busy" that day. Seriously?? The decor is very nice and gives off an upscale feel but I've honestly had better service at McDonald's.
- Unbelievable find for this townOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/18/2014Went here to celebrate my daughters college Graduation. It was amazing to find a place Of this caliber in Allentown Pa. Or in this Part. They have free valet parking Which was nice as well. Too bad I found this restaurant her last year and not her First. We had brunch. Which was excellent But the lunch and dinner menu looks spectacular I'm sorry I don't live near bySpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- good but overpricedscotchontherocksVIPDined on 5/17/2014For the quality and service level. Especially the wine listSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mother's Day DiningjohnfDined on 5/11/2014Cosmopolitan offers the diner an outstanding experience from the time you get there until you leave. The friendly and helpful car valets welcome you and escort you to the entrance. The service staff is attentive, professional and not the least bit overbearing. The quality of the food will not disappoint anyone and the menu ensures tasty choices for any palate. As a "special event" destination you'd be hard pressed to find a better place. Our experience on Mother's Day was most enjoyable and we will return again soon. As a special note, Cosmopolitan offers Hess's famous strawberry pie on original Hess plates. I was in heaven with that dessert.Special Features:
- Great for Food and DrinksSmyley328VIPDined on 5/11/2014Service was bad, Food and Drinks were great. I'd come back for appetizers and drinks at the bar but not for an overall dining experience. Too many upper scale restaurants in the Lehigh Valley that have great service, for me to walk away from here feeling unsatisfied!!
- Mother's DayTrainerGalDined on 5/11/2014Took my mom there for Mother's Day. The food was very good; would have been excellent had it been hot and not just warm (brioche french toast and Chesapeake Benedict)! I really enjoyed the Blood Orange Mimosa. Our waiter was not very attentive. Always had to flag him down to get coffee refills. As to the ambiance - kind of blah. Not much decoration and not very colorful. We were on the ground floor and didn't see any of the other types of rooms so my comments are strictly for the area to the right of the entry. Still, we would return there and give it another chance as the food was quite good.Special Features:
- Nice time at bruncheveryonesgot2eatDined on 5/11/2014Took my parents here for brunch on Mother's Day. The service was slow but the bloody marys were fantastic and the food very flavorful and hot.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Service ruined itOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 5/11/2014We went for Sunday brunch and the food was fair not great (they used deli meat ham instead of Canadian bacon on my eggs benedict). The service however is what really made it an unenjoyable experience. Our server was inattentive, didn't refill water, clear plates, ask us if we wanted another drink, or remember who ordered what. She also mixed up a virgin and regular bloody mary so I ended up with booze that I didn't want. The restaraunt wasn't that busy so unless it was her first day I'm not sure what the issue was. I tipped only 15% and I usually never tip less the20%.
- mother's daybigdaddy76Dined on 5/11/2014Our French toast was burned. The hostess did not speak with us as we were leaving. The strawberry pie was amazing, but the chocolate tower seemed stale. Great atmosphere but too many inconsistencies.Special Features:
- Great FoodevbuckspaVIPDined on 5/10/2014Was looking forward to coming here, we had a FABULOUS SERVER - BUT - the waitstaff was horrible. We never got our table cleared before Dessert - the other tables got cleared and were severed bread (as there were men at our table THAT was a big deal). I was disappointed by this, so will not be eating here again. The Bar yes as the Tenders there are GREAT!Special Features:
- Great family dinnerDiningFamDined on 5/9/2014The food and service was top notch. I would definitely recommend the Cosmopolitan!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Another disappointmentMCDORNDined on 5/7/2014This is the second time my wife and I tried Cosmopolitan and again we were disappointed. The restaurant is beautiful but overall food quality was poor. My wife order duck and it was overcooked. We had to wait on water - the waiter cleaned up our salad and took our forks but did not replace so when the food arrived he dropped it off and was gone - had to ask for forks. The desert was absolutely unacceptable - chocolate tower that was stale. Would not recommend nor will we ever go back. We were the only ones in the restaurant - now we know why.Special Features:
- The following 444 reviews are from the Cosmopolitan - Allentown reviews archive.
- Slow servicegleedah18VIPDined on 4/30/2014On a Wednesday night we were seated at 6:15 pm and then waited 20 minutes for a waiter to come to our table. She greeted us with, "Sorry for the confusion", and gave no explanation. The rest of our meal was served by several waiters, sometimes in pairs (training?). The food was very good, with the exception of too much garlic in our Caeser salads. The setting is lovely.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Remarkable ServiceDebbieDined on 4/30/2014Service was particularly good. They commented that they received our special request through Open Table. Food was great--prepared as requested. Substitutions were allowed. All around an enjoyable dinnerSpecial Features:
- Wonderful night outDVreeseDined on 4/29/2014We had a wonderful night out at Cosmopolitan. There was a nice selection of appetizers to choose from. We shared the meat and cheese selection. It was awesome. Next, our salads were great too. Dinner was so good, like an explosion of flavor in your mouth. I had the chicken entrée and my husband had the salmon. I could not get enough of the delish flavor. We would have stayed for dessert too, but we were out of time. I can't wait to go back again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Blast from the pastLaLaDined on 4/27/2014Loved the fountain, chandelier, and Hess's Patio Strawberry pie. Nice to see these items from the old Hess's. We grew up with that store- great brunch for our dsughter's birthday!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always good food and good serviceShorti3844Dined on 4/25/2014I've been there a few times and they change their menu pretty frequently to keep things fresh. Food is great, service is great, and it's definitely a trendy place to go.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- New Old AllentownMsJaneDined on 4/22/2014The location and ambiance are enough to bring me to Cosmopolitan over and over again, but the food and service seal the deal. Lovely place, great atmosphere, and I've never been disappointed by a meal. Nothing exotic, but straightforward American fare, very nicely prepared and presented.
- My Experience Easter Brunch 2014luv2dinDined on 4/20/2014My experience and that of my guests was superb meal and service. We would most definetly return..I have already planned to return with other friends for our birthday in the month of May.Special Features:

GHFC is more of a place to go if you're trying to meet women. But, in Gainesville you can go anywhere and meet some great looking girls.
I just thought of a place you might want to check out its called The Downtown Athletic Club. If I remember correctly it was more of a hardcore gym. I think it was right off of University and SE 2nd ave.
All of the other gym's in Gainesville are more of a fashion show type place, and very expensive, so good luck finding somewhere.
tell him to go and say he lost his card and get a new one, he'll prolly have to pay some money, (that u'll pay), and then u can work out for free!Originally Posted by FighterInSnatch
