I bought it in the mid 2000s from Best Buy as an open box item for just under $800 bucks. It wasnt a great computer. It featured an AMD Athlon 64x2 Dual Core 2.4GHz processor with 4GB of Ram. With the addition of an aftermarket video card, and a slightly better power supply it was enough to run the games I wanted to play and it worked great as a multimedia centre. I was very happy with how it handled. I had no issues running Bioshock or Oblivion on a 42 inch TV and had smug enjoyment playing from the comfort of my couch. As time went on I ended up with an Xbox 360, Wii, and three PlayStation 3 consoles. The computer started only being used as a multimedia workhorse, and for the occasional game of World of Warcraft. In the last year of her life, the few games she saw included replays of the Baldurs Gate series (I started with the EE, then gave up and went back to the original games with mods), Scribblenauts Unlimited, and a short go with the Old Republic. I knew there was little reason to try to tease her with demanding new releases (more on this in Part 2), and with so many other gaming devices I had my bases covered. Computerless, I had to decide how best to replace her. My first thought was to buy a cheap laptop for surfing and lurking -- why did I need yet another machine for gaming? Then again, I like to have more options and I remembered fondly the time spent modding various computer games in my computers glory days. I ventured onto the google to start comparing prices, with the notion that I might spend a little extra and get a laptop thatd run a game halfway decent. When it came to hardware, I wasnt sure what I was doing. I didnt know the difference between a 520m video card and a 640m. This led me to youtube for the reviews of various products, which led to websites with benchmarks, and ultimately websites about overclocking -- something I had often heard about, but never really understood or cared to learn about -- and then to computer building guides. By the time I had finish with all of the Linus Tech Tips, Tech of Tomorrow, and Tested videos and articles I was convinced that I had to build a computer. Not only was I determined to build the thing, I was actually feeling confident in doing it myself. To say I was excited to piece the machine together is an understatement. [center][img]http://s15.postimg.org/9hmmipcuz/maxresdefault.jpg[/img][/center] There was one other thing these people mentioned in passing and its that PC gaming could be cheaper on the whole, even after factoring in the cost of high priced items like video cards and processors. I knew of Steam as I had used it to buy a couple of games (Scribblenauts Unlimited at FULL retail price, gasp) but I wasnt aware of the crazy winter and summer markdowns. I was also unaware of Humble Bundles and GOG. I was fairly skeptical, but given that I now NEEDED a gaming PC I thought Id get to test out the claim myself. After spending some time on Newegg, I finally bit the bullet and purchased the parts. Without getting into too much detail about why I picked the parts that went into the build, Ill just say that everything was either on sale, had some sort of special, or there was a rebate involved. For example, the motherboard came with a free 8GB stick of ram. I also set my limit at $1,300 with the hopes of spending far less. Heres what I ended up with: Intel i5 Core 3570k $229.99 ASUS P8z77-V LK motherboard with 8GB of CORSAIR Vengeance $149.99 (I bought an additional 8GB of this ram, but it went into a separate build for my eldest child) Hyper 212 EVO aftermarket CPU cooler $34.99 OCZ ModXStream Pro 600W PSU $79.99 Seagate Barracuda 1TB Hard Drive $59.99 Sapphire Radeon 7950 Vapor-X Video card (included Crysis 3 and Bioshock Infinite) $299.99 Cooler Master HAF 922 Mid Tower Case $99.99 Cooler Master MegaFlow 200 - Sleeve Bearing 200mm LED Fan $13.99 Windows 7 Professional $139.99 [center][img]http://s24.postimg.org/m6vr2iad1/image.jpg[/img][/center] For those keeping score, the total price for the above build is $1,108.91. Before I ordered the parts for the system I priced similar builds with various sellers of gaming computers (ibuypower, alienware, cyberpower) and they were asking anywhere from $300 to $450 more. The price of my build was similar to some prices on websites like Wal-Mart and Best Buy, however, their systems were fairly dated and offered very weak performance for what was being asked. Thats to say they included weaker graphic cards and processors (far, far weaker). Also note that I already owned a working monitor and television, as well as a mouse and keyboard so I didnt include them in the cost. Once the items arrived, the case coming TWO days after the hardware, I was able to put everything together from memory (and the aid of the motherboard manual) with no issue. I cant stress how fun and incredibly easy building a modern computer really is. Aside from inserting the processor there isnt much you can really screw up if you follow the instructions. I even did it without an anti-static wrist strap. The process took about an hour, not quite two if you include installing Windows 7 and a few breaks to twirl around the room. [center][img]http://s7.postimg.org/jwzlorjl7/computer_confusion002.jpg[/img][/center] After everything was up and running, and after updating all the drivers, I started piddling around in the BIOS. I wasnt very confident with this step, so I backed out and loaded Windows. The nice thing about the ASUS boards is that the included software has a tool to safely overclock the processor. I started the tool and it adjusted the processor and ram speed. After running several stress tests, the system was stable at 4.1GHz (3.5GHz stock). I then proceeded to overclock the video card using the MSI Afterburner software. This was the icing on the cake. When it comes to overclocking video cards its a roll of the dice as some cards are able to clock higher than others, you just have to hope you score a good card. At stock the video cards clock speed was 850 for core and 950 for memory. With a few clicks of the mouse, the card was running smooth and stable at 1150/1500. I basically hit the jackpot. Using the Unigine Heaven for benchmarks, my scores went from 78 fps and a score of 1959, to 158 fps and a score of 3983 (an increase of 102%). With all the setup and overclocking out of the way, I was ready to get on with the real reason I bought the computer gaming! [center][img]http://s27.postimg.org/5vlj084wz/download.jpg[/img][/center] [b]Part 2: My Finance Report[/b] So now we know that my gaming rig cost just over a grand to build ($1,108.91 for those that skipped). Thats kind of high, I know, but its still considered mid-range as far as PC builds go. Its also important to note that I may have went a bit overkill for my needs. Im not interested in running games at perfect visional levels, but the system is capable of doing it and will be able to handle things for a while to come. My long term goal for this system is to use everything in it for five years before replacing or pushing it off onto one of my children. This isnt a crazy notion by any stretch of the imagination, and it does fly in the face of the upgrade myth. I also now know my dead computer could have handled such games as Far Cry 3, though not with the highest visual quality, but it would at least have been playable, so I do not think Im being too optimistic. With the rig and its cost out of the way, lets focus on the games. As stated in Part 1, during my research I learned about such things as Humble Bundle, Steam sales, and the various other platforms of digital delivery. After I decided to build the computer, and while I did research and waited on parts, I bought every bundle or sale that caught my eye. I pledged to myself that Id only buy games that I thought Id actually play (ha!) and only games that were on sale for at least 50% off or more. Its still a promise I stick to, with a few exceptions planned (South Park Stick of Truth, GTA V). I could just tell you the number of games I own and the amount of money spent for the entire collection vs. the retail price, but I have something much more tedious in mind. Im going to list every game I purchased with the transaction price and the suggested retail. Ill then give you the running total of the software cost, the software cost with hardware included, as well as the retail value. The number of games in my library bought since February of 2013 currently totals around 140 from various digital platforms including some 17 Humble purchases, so lets start there.

If I also factor in the cost of the rig we are looking at a total of $1,186.16, a difference of $332.70 from the retail value. Now onto my other games.

My out of pocket for just these 46 games was $170.88, for grand total of $268.12. Factoring in the cost of the computer brings the total up to $1,377.03, making the difference from the retail total $1,120.51. So, there you have it. Is PC gaming as cheap as some people make it out to be? Well, only if you consider spending almost a grand and a half cheap, but the reality is that gaming on the PC offers a lot of value and the potential to save on costs even after the large initial investment. It's also important to remember that this is just my first year with the computer and I've already recouped the cost of the parts with the money saved on the software. Owning consoles, I can say that there is very little in the way of deals or specials offered. Most of my big console scores are thanks to eBay where I am able to buy up used copies of games which are still steeply priced in the retail setting. Even taking into account the holiday specials or things like PSN Plus its hard to argue they are even remotely close. This is mainly thanks to PC being an open format with lots of competition with the delivery platform, though some publishers are actively trying to squash this and regain control (Ubisoft and EA). Its also, as people correctly point out, because you do not technically own the games being purchased, just a license to use the software. This isnt too far off from whats going on with PlayStation Plus and has never really given me pause. As it stands, Im happy with my venture back into PC gaming and it will probably remain my go to device for now, though I am excited to see what Sony and Microsoft will bring to the table with their newest consoles. I can honestly say that Im looking forward to 2014 and hope it turns out to be another excellent year for gaming and deals.tag:destructoid.com,2008:240365Baldur's Gate 10 Titles Master Collection - Enhance it Yourself2012-12-11T11:05:54Z2012-12-11T11:05:54ZI've made comments about the Enhanced Edition of Baldur's Gate, stating it should have been entitled the "Enhanced" Edition. I'm not going to discuss what's wrong with the Enhanced Edition, nor will I provide a review. What I want to do is put forth a better use of the $20 that might have been spent on the Enhanced Edition. Instead of buying BG:EE, get the D&D Anthology: The Master Collection. It's $20 bucks for the digital copies on Gamestops website (Here: [url]http://www.impulsedriven.com/products/ESD-IMP-W2574[/url]) and includes Baldurs Gate, Baldurs Gate Tales of the Sword Coast, Baldurs Gate II: Shadows of Amn, Baldurs Gate II: Throne of Bhaal, Icewind Dale, Icewind Dale: Heart of Winter, Icewind Dale: Trials of Luremaster, Icewind Dale II, Planescape: Torment, and The Temple of Elemental Evil. Special thanks to Shawn Spear for pointing this out. While the Enhanced Edition of Baldur's Gate features new content -- only six hours worth, ontop of the original 30+ hour game -- you'll be able to get the other enhancements and fixes to the Anthology edition simply through use of mods like Tutu, Co8, and Gibberlings and you'll have hundreds of hours of other Advanced Dungeons & Dragons games to play. Youll find it's a bigger bang for your buck and super easy to do! In this first post, I'm going to cover how to install the modifications for the first Baldur's Gate and what suggested tweaks to install along with EasyTutu. This information is available elsewhere, but it takes a bit of searching and some of it is outdated or just plain wrong, so I thought Id just make it easier on those wishing to do it. [b]1) First Steps[/b] Make your purchase and download Baldurs Gate Complete and Baldurs Gate 2 Complete. Let both of the games install. Youll then want to make sure they are patched to their latest versions. Baldurs Gate will be fully patched right out of the gate, but youll need to get the patch for Baldurs Gate 2 from Sorcerers Net [url]http://usoutpost31.com/easytutu/EasyTutu_ToB.zip[/url]. You have the expansion for Baldurs Gate 2, so download the Official Throne of Bhaal patch and install it. [b]2) Moving On[/b] You'll also want to get the main modification called EasyTutu [url]http://usoutpost31.com/easytutu/[/url]. Not only does it convert the BG engine to the one BG2 uses, but it also automatically patches the game with hundreds of fixes. As stated above, you already have the Expansion for BG2, so youll need to download the file called EasyTutu_ToB.zip [url]http://usoutpost31.com/easytutu/EasyTutu_ToB.zip[/url]. You should also download EasyTutu Degreenifier [url]http://usoutpost31.com/easytutu/EasyTutuDegreenifier-v4.exe[/url] for use after we patch the game with EasyTutu, Ill cover it below. Once youve downloaded EasyTutu, create a new empty folder on your master drive called BG1Tutu (C:\BG1Tutu). Now, run the EasyTutu program. Youll see that it asks for the location of your Baldurs Gate installation (C:\Program Files\Baldur's Gate) as well as for your installation location of Baldurs Gate 2 (C:\Program Files\Baldur's Gate II -- make sure it's the one with all the files and not the nearly empty SoA folder). When youre sure youve got the correct locations, click the start button. After its finished, youll want to start the Degreenifier ([url]http://usoutpost31.com/easytutu/EasyTutuDegreenifier-v4.exe[/url]) and install it before moving on. EasyTutu, for whatever reason, changes water to a sewage green colour if the 3D Acceleration is used. You can skip this step by simply not using 3D Acceleration (which is what I do). Please note that if youre gonna do it, do it now. You cant install it after the next step. So be warned. [b]3) Modifications & Enhancements[/b] Our next step is installing all of those wonderful fixes and tweaks. Head over to Gibberlings and grab the Baldurs Gate II Tweaks [url]http://www.gibberlings3.net/bg2tweaks/index.php[/url]. Dont let the name fool you, itll work on the first Baldurs Gate with EasyTutu. Drop the program into the EasyTutu directory we created earlier (C:\BG1Tutu), and fire it up. Below Ive included a quick reference guide as to what tweaks I would suggest that you install. These are my opinion only, so if you have any questions look at the included readme file. (Skip this list for the next step for wide screen modification).

Good suggestions! I've been meaning to get a thrumometer. That would make it easier to hit 110 in one drain. I could steep in the bucket and drain the bucket with a spigot through the chiller into another bucket.
Most of the year I can open my BK valve all the way and not adjust the flow of the water and it chills somewhere between 60-65. If the summer is really hot for the entire summer, I open the BK valve about 3/4. If I open it up all the way in the middle of a cold winter, I can chill into the 50s. I just use a little less faucet pressure in that situation. The thrumometer would take the guesswork out of that too.
I'm sold on the thrumometer. Thanks!
I tested a hot hop stand at 190-200F, but it didnt seem to work for me. Someone could have said in an earlier post, or I misunderstood, but I can try an cooler hop stand next time.
The hops stands I did was for an Imperial IPA (9% abv) and Pale ale (6.5 abv) I did not notice a difference between these and the previous batches. Typically these hops are a 5 min addition. I moved them to the WP addition instead.
Aprox. 37 oz of hops were used. This is with a 1.5 bbl batch and a 30 min hop stand. I can try at a lower temp next time, but it'll be a month or so before I know the results.
Well I would ordinarily agree, but look at photography, before digital. You had to wait to develop your film... So you would take notes on exposure settings. Flm back then was not inexpensive, and developing was costly, so you didn't just recklessly snap pictures - well usually anyway.
Taking notes and labeling your beer so you know which batch it is from will help to refine your process over time on how to eliminate flaws.
I plate chilled about half the batch and dumped it back into the kettle. The temperature was luckily 117F and then I did a 20 minute aroma steep. Score!
The batch did have some pretty good aroma before I pitched the yeast. Six weeks to judgement day.
I brewed 2 different 2.5 gal batches last week and both were FO only hop stands of 30 minutes.
One batch was a 1.060 Red Ale with 3oz Centennial thrown in at 190 degrees, stirred/whirpool every 5 min then cooled down to yeast pitching temps in 15 min. Temp dropped down to 175 after 30 min but I kept the lid on hoping to keep flavors in.
The other was a 1.058 Pale Ale with A 190 FO addition of 2oz Citra for 30 min. I also plan on dry hopping this brew with another oz.
I'm quite curious to see how these turn out, especially if they have enough bitterness, will ley you know in a few weeks.
Just thought about this today from a beer I made last night; does a hop stand affect when to add Irish Moss to kettle? I did a one hour hop stand at two temperature steps and noticed that the normal clumping of proteins and clarity of the wort in the kettle was underwhelming compared to when I chill immediately after boiling. What I did was add Irish Moss 10 minutes before the end of the boil, added flameout hops stirred gently every 5 minutes or so until at 30 minutes post boil the temperature was 180 degrees, then chilled to 160 for another 30 minute stand, then chilled down to 70 which took maybe another 1/2 hour (my tap water is on the warm side). Did the hour long hop stand render my Irish Moss ineffective because it was in hot wort too long?
Regarding time/temperature, I've done two Stone Ruination clones so far, both utilizing a hop stand. On the first batch, I dropped the temp to 190F, then tossed in the 2oz of Centennial pellets, and stirred occasionally while maintaining temp for 30 mins. The citrus aroma/flavor from this batch was absolutely fantastic.
On the second batch, I did the same as before, but extended the stand to 45 mins instead. The citrus aroma/flavor was no where near as strong as the first batch, to my disappointment.
I'm guessing 190F is above the flashpoint for the citrus flavor hop oil, and the longer hop stand only helped to diminish that flavor. For the next batch, I think I'm going to try a 45 min stand at 170F.
Does anyone know of an article/sight that lists the various hop oils and their flavors, along with flash points?
180 F is a simmer and really not all that different from boiling, despite the vigor. For a proper aroma steep, a safe zone is below 170-165 F.

4.3/5 rDev -5.1%
Was in town this last weekend and this place was on my "must-stop" list. Went down on Friday afternoon and most of the bar area was full already. Maybe it was the sunny day outside, but this place seemed really dark. The large cooler section behind the bar was a little difficult to see. A huge chalkboard greeted us with all of the taps listed though, so that was nice. Service was friendly and helpful. They carried a great number of bottles in addition to their taps, and from what I hear, you can purchase for carry-out. Very cool. We didn't get anything to go this time, but nice to know we can do that. A great bar for sure, one of the best I have been to in NC.

A truly authentic and impressive beer bar. They offer quite a few on tap and lots more in the bottle. They had a sour promo going on and we got to sample several from Cascade. I also putchased a couple of bottles to take home. Technically it's a bottle shop too but everything's behind the bar so it's not really set up for that. This is a fantastic place and a must stop in historic Wilmington!

Hands down - the best place to grab a beer in Wilmington. It's got that great dive bar vibe that I love, especially when you get to the back and see a stellar lineup of drafts. The bartender was a blast to talk to - every bit the beer geek I am. Killer beer. Killer service. Killer vibe.

This was the place where I really cut my teeth on craft beer. Originally located on Water St. (1 block behind their current location) in a place that could best be described as a walk-in closet full of awesome beer and awesome people, since their move to Front St. they've only grown by leaps and bounds. More awesome beers, more awesome people (Yeah, Low Lifes!), more awesome music... if you're anywhere near Wilmington you should definitely stop by and have a few beers.

Zerban? That is who your going to quote? Really? You are thinking that somehow, the person that the democrat that wants to beat Paul is somehow going to say something to change anyone's mind? That is like Dr. Octopus saying spiderman sucks, and thinking people are saying "wow, his opion must mean something" By the way, he also said "Congress needs a new direction and a new plan." Congress....Not the house, but congress, which includes the senate. I could actually agree with this statement.

Title VII prohibits a number of different forms of sex discrimination in employment. Gender stereotyping claims have been a growing source of litigation, where plaintiffs allege that they were disciplined or terminated due to their failure to adhere to commonly accepted gender norms. Many of these cases involve situations where an employee dresses or behaves in a non-traditional manner, especially where questions over sexual orientation arise.
However, other types of gender stereotyping cases deal with questions over male and female business approaches. Aggressive behavior may be applauded for male employees, but when displayed by female co-workers, it can be viewed as bossy or otherwise inappropriate. When this difference in perception leads to different outcomes in terms of performance evaluations, litigation can result.
In Potter v. Synerlink Corp., a new unpublished decision from the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, the plaintiff was the only female regional salesperson in the company. After several years of top sales and lauded performance, she began clashing with management over her reluctance to give up accounts to a newly formed sales territory. These disputes ultimately led to her termination, and she sued for sex discrimination, claiming that male salespersons had voiced similar objections, but had not been terminated as a result.
The Tenth Circuit agreed, reversing a grant of summary judgment for the employer. It rejected the employer's contention that the plaintiff was fired for not being a "team player." She introduced testimony from multiple male sales managers who disclosed that they had argued with management over changes in sales territories and customer assignment. These disputes led to negotiation and compromise, not termination of the complaining male employees.
This does not mean that the employer terminated the plaintiff due to her gender, but it raises sufficient questions of pretext for the reasoning offered to allow the claim to go to a jury for trial. Male managers may not realize that their decisions with regard to employees under their supervision can be influenced by common perceptions with regard to differences in acceptable behavior between males and females. When these differences appear based on cultural norms or stereotypes, the resulting employment decisions can form the basis of sex discrimination claims. Employers should be aware of potential bias in these areas, and should work to make certain that similar workplace conduct and performance are consistently treated. If legitimate business reasons exist for different treatment, these need to be thoroughly reviewed and documented to assure that they can be defended against claims that the differences were gender related.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Jacksonville Jaguars will be without starting outside linebacker Daryl Smith for the season opener at Minnesota.
Coach Mike Mularkey ruled Smith out Friday, saying he had a setback with his groin injury earlier in the week.
The Jaguars also likely will be without cornerback Derek Cox. He is doubtful for Sunday's game.
Receiver Justin Blackmon (ankle) and guard Uche Nwaneri (ankle) practiced for the second consecutive day and are probable.
With Smith sidelined, the Jaguars are expected to start Kyle Bosworth against the Vikings.
Mularkey says Bosworth "has gotten a lot of work in the preseason games. We feel confident about him going in there."
The Houston Texans selected defensive end Jadeveon Clowney first overall in the 2014 NFL Draft.

pleazen Review
I bought this bed for my 11 year old daughter and she loves it. I was able to put the bed together alone. The instructions were very easy to follow. The bed is quiet steady and looks great.

Modern civilization began right here in the Tigris-Euphrates river valley. Also known as the Fertile Crescent or Mesopotamia, this is the place where, six thousand years ago, agriculture, writing and mathematics were brought into widespread use.
The term "Middle East" comes from the British navy, which used it to describe the countries on the trade route from Europe to India and China. Everything from Afghanistan to Morocco may possibly be classified as "middle eastern", depending on whom you ask -- and when.
Only a partial list of past Empires in the middle eastern territory includes Sumeria, Babylonia, Persia, the Ottoman Empire and the Roman Empire!
When northern Europe was still lurking about in slimy cold stone castles playing chess, the Middle East was enjoying the flowers of poetry, luxurious craftsmanship, music and literature. In fact, the Renaissance in Europe was partly inspired by stories brought back from the middle east by travelers along the trade route.
Strategic location, religious history and the world's largest supply of crude oil have kept the Middle East at the center of world activity for centuries. The saga continues.

It's style above says Munich style Helles beer, how it got that category astounds me. This is a staple lager beer comparable to Carling Black Label or Pabst Blue Ribbon!
To say Munich style Helles means to me it should be brewed under the Rheinheitsgebot, but it isn't, which means it's brewed with chemicals!!
It pours nice, Then there's the first mouthful, not bad, hmmm, average beer, the aftertaste, like the first feeling from cottonmouth, dry sensation so I reach for a coke to provide hydration from the frosty dry feeling like I just had a mouthful of liquid nitrogen!
There isn't nothing else in here on tap so I stick with the Eichhof. After a few I order a double espresso and a coke. The drowsy and dry feeling I have needs to be dealt with, which has allowed my palette to recover, the night is young, so I order another. By now the company is good, the beer is getting worse and my buzz is good, so I order another.
In the morning I wake up and I have a feeling like it's Monday and I have to get up for work!! The I realise it's Saturday and my built in GPS is all over the place. I am dizzy with a feeling of dread, wtf?!
Oh, now I remember, a feeling like my first cheap piss up as a student drinking white lightening, Skol and Carling!! Yuuk! Whatever happened to my hangover free nights drinking quality German, under that marvelous purity law of 1516!?! One wakes up feeling fine and dandy!
Eichhof is a dry average lager comparable to Carling or Skol, not comparable to a far superior Bavarian Helles.

I brought a 500ml can of Eichhof Lager home from a recent trip to Europe. The beer pours a clear amber color with an initial thick white head that fades slowly leaving some lacing. The smell had grain and hop tones. Flavor is almost balanced with a slight hoppy finish. Mouthfeel was light bodied with good carbonation. Overall a decent beer.

Poured into a tumbler it produces a slight head with scant lacing. The appearance is straw and clear. The aroma is of spicy hops and pale malts. The taste is mild, slightly sweet, and slightly bitter. The feel is light with a clean finish.
This is a fine lager similar to the better popular American pale lagers.

M: Very light Lager body a high carbonation. Mild but pleasant hoppy bitterness in the aftertaste

Switzerland can not exactly be called famous for it's beers, and there is good reason for this ... first, the hard water here will make any efforts quite difficult ... but there is also a common lack of ambition and demand for any distinctive brews (distinctive as in 'tastewise distinctive' ...) ... this brew is packed in a truly uninspired label, however should be placed in the top tier of Swiss lagers (which again isn't the Oscar, honestly), as it is quite heavy bodied and has some consistency ... however, the typical soury after-taste is present here as well ...

From my notes 6/8/07 - Pours a two-finger white head that fades slowly leaving a very good lace. Crystal clear amber color. Hoppy/skunky nose. Very good carbonation and light bodied. Flavor is almost balanced with a slight hoppy finish. S.FR.5.00 ($4.07) for a 250ml glass on-tap at Grand Hotel Europe Lucerne, Switzerland.

To start, if you are in Switerland...and you don't like this beer...you might consider it the plague because its everywhere, its like you can't escape it. Theres nothing really special about this beer. It just your normal yellow lager with mild tastes. It reminds me of american macro lagers in that they have so much advertising for it and yet the product itself is not of good quality. I like the Eichhof Klosterbrau much more than this beer. Overall this is an alright choice if you plans are just to get drunk and not taste anything, and it is available everywhere so you won't be hardpressed to find it.

A crisp looking beer, nice contrast between body and head. Smells a lot like a summer brew, with lemon/grass and yeast. Taste was pretty good. Clean flavor of biscuit, sweet lemon and hops. Finishes smooth and crisp, good refreshment during the heat wave in Zurich.

Bud is to America what Eichhof is to Lucern, Switzerland. You can't go a block without seeing a sign for it. I was recently on my honeymoon in Lucern and tried this on tap at several restaurants as well as on top of Mt. Pilatus. At the very top of Mt. Pilatus, there is a "self-service" tap where you can get a 10oz cup of Eichhof for 3 CHF (approx. $2.75 US dollars). The reason for this is b/c the lager is made with the fresh water from Mt. Pilatus...or something.
Anyway, it pours a nice amber and is VERY fresh tasting (maybe it's that mountain water!). The smell is average -- it really does remind me of Bud in smell & taste, but with a fresher overall impression. It also goes down smooth and could be a great session beer. A nice standard lager.

Why, oh why god, have I been touring around this lager-filled scene when there's plenty of good beer in europe? Eichhof isnt really a top notch company, evidently; its lager firmly applies a synonym to what eichhof should mean in german (or swiss german): macro or mediocre. Golden tone, hop-and-malt average smell and tastes, medium carbonation, ya know, the usual stuff. But from....switzerland! ugh.

The local brew from Lucerne, Switzerland. No surprises here really, it may be a tad lighter than most in the Helles style. Cold, crisp and clean. Washed down our fondue nicely. Yeah, I know...fondue...oh well, when in Rome...

New grandstand construction work at Great Leighs racecourse due to start this week
3:00pm Wednesday 4th June 2014 in News
BUILDING work on a new grandstand at Great Leighs racecourse is set to begin this week.
The £6million project will hold as many as 3,000 spectators and will include hospitality suites and a betting hall. It will be built on the foundations of the old complex, removed in January 2011.
Owners Great Leighs Estates Limited, a collaboration between Betfred tycoon Fred Done and media partners SIS and Bet Solutions International, also plan to rename the track Chelmsford City Racecourse.
They hope to have work completed by November, and for racing return to the site – which had its racing licence revoked in January 2009 when it went into administration – by next year.

Wendell Castle: Wandering Forms
From the Publisher. American studio furniture icon Wendell Castle is one of the most important, influential and celebrated designers of the 20th and 21st centuries. For more than 50 years, he has consistently pioneered new territory in design and beyond. His visionary constructions and distinctive stacked-laminate woodworking process cross the boundaries between sculpture, design and craft. Published on the occasion of Castle's retrospective exhibition at The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, this publication is the first in 20 years devoted to the designer's work. The book focuses on Castle's exceptional early works in wood and fiberglass, which transformed the way we look at furniture and its making. These highly original works have influenced generations of furniture makers, designers, artists, sculptors, collectors and design enthusiasts. Renowned writer Alastair Gordon lucidly tells the exciting story of Castle's impact and innovations through the defining works of his career. The text is accompanied by hundreds of drawings, press clippings and never-before-seen images of Castle, his workspace and process. Beautifully designed by the award-winning Pandiscio Co. and incorporating materials from Castle's personal archives, this book is certain to be the definitive study of one of the most significant furniture designers working in the world today and one of America's true cultural treasures.
Wendell Castle isn't a household name, but maybe it should be. Castle was a pioneer in making furniture as three-dimensional sculpture, first with anthropomorphic carved wood pieces and then in candy-colored molded plastics. Alastair Gordon tells this story with great affection and sympathy in a beautifully made book.
