Chris still struggles. She says that Kayla was outshining the rest of them and getting her pose on, which motivated Chris further. Well, allegedly. She still looks kind of crazy. Liz, meanwhile, has to keep patting her sweaty face with a paper towel. She says that her back was on fire through the black leather jacket, and she was about to explode. Liz then has to move to the back of the boat and kneel on hard, black wood. Her knees are burning, and she's in pain, and if she'd finally get a good shot maybe they'd put her out of her misery. Chelsey notes that Liz is the champion of complaining, and that's not tolerated in the industry. Simone tries to direct her into a good shot, while Jay tells her that her hand looks like a catcher's mitt. Also in bad news, Jay tells us that Chris actually got more awkward as the shoot progressed. That seems impossible, but it happened. Meanwhile, Kayla continues to kill it. Once the shoot is complete, Jay gives the three girls a few pointers, one being for Chris not to put her tongue completely in Mario's ear. Chris denies it, but Mario points out that it's still a little wet in there. Kayla tells us that she thinks Chris did a mediocre job on the photo shoot and adds, "Chris is not high fashion." That's a little bitchy but also, I think, true.
Next, it's time for Ann, Chelsey and Jane to do their shoot. Ann tells us that vying for Casanova's attention was stressful. She sure does have a hard time getting a good body position, even though she's in the front of the boat, which is the exact same location where Kayla rocked it. Maybe Ann is too tall for boats? She tells us that her shyness is a big hurdle to get over, and adds that she's been in the bottom two. Tearfully, she says she doesn't want to screw up in such a high-stakes competition. When Ann is sad and stressed-out, it really makes me sad, too. I may be without pity, but I am certainly not made of steel. Jay tells the girls to get into character before noting that Ann looks petrified. Chelsey really plays up the role of syphilitic whore, to kudos from Jay. She reminds us yet again that she has more drive than anybody else, and it's frustrating not to have gotten best photo yet. A big part of this might be how whack she actually looks in her photos. I think she does have some modeling skills, but even her pretty photos never look pretty. Jay loves what Jane is doing. She had a difficult positioning, kneeling behind all the others, but she had her own little moment back there and made it believable. He felt with Jane like he was looking back in time. I will reiterate that this has more to do with her face than her Ivy League coursework.

Today, T-Mobile announced it will pay the early termination fee (ETF) carriers charge you if you try to back out of your contract early if you switch. You also have to trade in your old smartphone to T-Mobile to take advantage of the offer. The amount it pays depends on the value of your phone, but T-Mobile says it could be as much as $650 per line.
A few days ago, AT&T announced it would offer up to $450 in credit if you switched from another carrier.
But there is some mixed messaging here. When T-Mobile's CEO John Legere caught wind of AT&T's offer, he told CNET that AT&T was trying to bribe customers away. Now, T-Mobile is effectively doing the same thing, paying people to switch networks.

I am using api.ashx/v2/forums/threads/unanswered.json to get unanswered threads/post. It works well for me, except for one issue. If a user posts a brand new thread and it is marked as Discussion, that newly posted thread will show up with the api unanswered json call. This is great, I want it to. However, if anyone replies to that thread it will no longer show in the unanswered api call.
Now, I realize that a thread that is marked as Discussion isn't marked as answered/unanswered...but since the first post of a Discussion thread will show up on on the api call unanswered, why won't the replies to Discussion marked threads? How can I make the replies show up in that api call?
It sounds like you're using Evolution 6, is this correct? If you're looking to retrieve forum replies, they have their own endpoints, described here: telligent.com/.../list-forum-replies.aspx. There isn't an answered/unanswered status for replies however.
This is expected platform behavior to have a Discussion type thread marked as answered after 1 reply. It sounds like you may need to make a separate call to get all "recent" forum threads that are Discussion type, instead of relying on the unanswered endpoint.

Tag Me! Tag Me!
OK, so here's where I admit that I occasionally do wish that I were one of the Cool Kids. Most of the time I'm like, "yeah, I know the cool kids, but I don't hang out with them. Because, you know, I've got my own stuff to do," but lately several of my favorite blogs have all been doing the Four Things Meme, and I confess I was feeling a little left out. Although no one's technically tagged me, and I can't pretend that I never do memes (because why would you do that?), I'm going to pretend that John tagged me because I'm listed among the four blogs he's following. Thanks, John, for making me feel cool.
Four jobs I've had
- Temp, Executive Office of the President
- Research Assistant, The World Bank
- Webmaster, Mecklermedia
- Senior Developer Support Engineer, Macromedia
Four movies I can watch over and over
- A Letter to Three Wives
- Christmas in Connecticut
- Wife vs. Secretary
- The Shawshank Redemption
Four places I've lived
- Athens, GA
- Arlington, VA
- Norwalk, CT
- San Francisco, CA
Four TV shows I love
- Veronica Mars
- Entourage
- My Name is Earl
- Flip This House
Four places I've vacationed
- The Wicklow Way, Ireland
- Kapalua, Maui
- New Orleans, Louisiana
- Auckland, New Zealand
Four of my favorite dishes
- Bulldog tofu
- Homemade frittata with potatoes, scallions, red peppers, and a mix of boursin and cream cheeses
- Mutter paneer
- Spicy tuna rolls with mango and black sesame seeds (ONLY IF the spicy sauce is made with mayonnaise)
Four sites I visit daily
Four places I'd rather be right now
- Snuggling my poor, sick husband
- In Portland with Val
- Anywhere with Kristin
- Pushing Austen around San Francisco
Four people I'm tagging
(I have to say this is the hardest category, since practically everyone I know and read has already been tagged, some of them months ago...)
shucks... i was hoping you'd tag me!
Posted by: Lori Herrington at February 3, 2006 10:18 PM
I'd be happy to! Tag, you're it!!

Diaristic Photography Journal about Birmingham, the United Kingdom.
Like any international student, the first places I get to know in a city are the school, the nearest clinic, the police station and the shopping centre. My family and I have realized that we have been living a long period of waiting without enjoying our life.
To get out of this small circle we planned to get lost without direction in the streets to explore. Little by little, we needn't to use the GPS device to lead us home. So, my advice to all expatriates, the more you get lost, the more you know your city.
For me, Birmingham is too beautiful to stay at home.

TEAMS: Pittsburgh Pirates, Milwaukee Brewers
Really, I'm not sure that I can pick my favorite moment from this game. Marlon Byrd's game-sealing three-run homer into centerfield bushes followed by a simultaneous Steve Blass and Twitter explosion of Byrd puns was pretty great, but all it really did was put the finishing touches on a game that had looked like a win for a while. For my money, I'm not sure I've ever seen anything like Andrew McCutchen's standing steal of second in the fourth inning. Because McCutchen got such a giant jump on Tom Gorzelanny and because Gorzelanny threw his pitch in the dirt, 'Cutch was able to ease up and get into second standing ahead of Jonathan Lucroy's throw. What made the steal even more impressive was this game's other standout moment: the 14-pitch Marlon Byrd at-bat that preceded it, that included numerous throws to first by Gorzelanny to try and keep McCutchen in check. Byrd ended up striking out, but the long at-bat tuned the PNC Park crowd into the game and ...

The skilled technicians at Karma Hair Salon pamper guests with a full menu of hair and waxing services, which anchor themselves on a vast selection of beauty products from Paul Mitchell. To honor her father?s memory, Karma?s owner offers free haircuts to firemen, police officers, and veterans, as well as discounts to their spouses and children.
Lorrain Lombardo-Shapiro is a medical clinical aesthetician and kundalini yoga teacher. The diversity in Lorrain's resume speaks to the way Bella Faccia Skin Care and Wellness Spa operates: a combination of clinical and holistic care used to achieve cosmetic beauty and self-confidence. The center's marquee services are its customized facials, which are designed to address each client's unique skin needs and are supplemented by 10-minute relaxation treatments. There's a whole slate of organic facials as well that incorporate a variety of nourishing ingredients in service of a radiant face: organic cherry, green tea, grape seed masks, and wild rose bub. Bella Faccia takes the same holistic approach to harmonizing mind and spirit with body treatments such as visual meditation and Reiki energy healing.
Harmonious HandZ offers respite from the daily shuffle of work, family, and furniture whittling with a menu of therapeutic massage modalities. In the comfort of a private room, a licensed massage therapist can promote relaxation with flowing Swedish strokes or administer deep-tissue pressure to access lower-layer aches. Harmonious HandZ also offers romantic couples packages, complete with sparking wine and sweet chocolates.
At Cloud Nine Therapeutic Massage, licensed massage therapist Peggy Pulak fosters tranquility of body and mind with traditional massages and alternative therapies. Her Swedish massages utilize oils and gentle, flowing strokes to soothe muscles. During Hawaiian lomi lomi massages, she may treat two areas of the body at the same time—the left shoulder and right hip, for example, a combination that's rare outside of Simon Says games. Pulak also administers alternative therapies designed to promote general wellbeing, such as reflexology foot massages and energy therapy.
The extensive education the licensed professionals at Tryangles have undergone over the years has enabled them to specialize in services that beautify from head to toe. They cut, color, and smooth hair, blast through acne and oil with facials, and remove body fuzz using warm wax. Spiritual readings tap into clients' inner wellness, and massage therapy tends to tense muscles and chronic aches.
The knowledgeable aestheticians at Sky Skin Center fend off unwanted follicles, signs of aging, and skin conditions with an assortment of spa and laser treatments. During laser hair-removal sessions, strand assassins take aim at unsightly bristles with Candela GentleMax or Palomar lasers, allowing patients to become perfectly drag-free for Olympic slip 'n' slide time trials. Med-spa treatments—such as chemical peels, photofacials, vascular treatments, and microdermabrasion—tackle conditions as varied as rosacea, acne scarring, and sun damage. Skin-lift injections, including Botox, Juvéderm, and Radiesse, restore visages' youthful appearance, and soothing facials and massages ease muscle tension caused by trying to dead-lift 50-pound sunglasses.

2011 Puligny Montrachet, Domaine Jean Louis Chavy(6x75cl)
An elegant yet full bodied style with citrus and honey aromas, which are echoed on the palate and complemented by a touch of toasty oak, underpinned by fresh acidity.
2011 Meursault Poruzot 1er Cru, Domaine Jobard-Morey(6x75cl)
Very fine, subtle oak and vanilla cream with underlying flintiness and fresh ripe-pear fruit. Plenty of richness and body, but this is held in check by a constant thread of minerality running through the middle. Just when you expect the flavours to fade on the finish, they do the opposite and reach a glorious, complex crescendo. Magnificent.
2011 Puligny-Montrachet les Combettes 1er Cru, Domaine Jacques Prieur(6x75cl)
Well-focused and beautifully pure with hints of white fruit (peach and pear), as well as underlying anised and liquorice. Refined, polished, taut, and dynamic. Spicy, tangy, and crunchy notes. Very elegant, long finish.
2013 Petit Chablis, Domaine Louis Michel(6x75cl)
Bright white gold in colour, with a citrus and mineraly expressive nose. This wine is dry, super crisp, light and racy, with mineral acidity, green apple and lemon rind flavours with a refreshing, dry finish.
2011 Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrières, Domaine François Mikulski(6x75cl)
Concentrated, ripe and intriguingly complex on the nose. It releases a cocktail of tropical fruits among its toasted hazelnut and fresh bready aromas. It's full bodied too, filling the mouth with bags of melon and pineapple fruit with hints of bananas all underpinned with a stylish grapefruity acidity and a sumptuously silky finish.
2012 Chablis 1er Cru Les Vaillons, Domaine Bernard Defaix(6x75cl)
There is a deft touch of wood surrounding the white orchard fruit and honeysuckle aromas that have glimpses of oyster shell poking through. The rich, forward and relatively generous flavours possess a seductive mouth feel and excellent complexity on the dry for the vintage finish. This should age well for the medium term.
2010 Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatières, Domaine Alain Chavy(6x75cl)
Fresh, floral, lemony white burgundy with lots of new oak on the finish.
2013 Chablis, Domaine Bernard Defaix(6x75cl)
Classic Chablis nose of lemon and lime with a hint of spice. Dry and steely with flavours of lemon and honey offset by a certain richness and complex finish.
2009 Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatières, Domaine Alain Chavy(6x75cl)
Fresh, floral, lemony white burgundy with lots of new oak on the finish.
2011 Chassagne Montrachet Blanc, Domaine Bernard Moreau(12x75cl)
Medium lemon yellow in the glass. Fruity nose showing grapefruit, pear, and well-judged oak. On the palate, the finesse and balance of the wine comes through with enlivening acidity and a complex seam of minerality. Old World subtlety and depth at its best.

Can you recommend a calibration device for new 27 " iMac and home inkjet printer setup?
Thinking of Epson R2000 or Canon printer. I am just a hobbyist not a pro but would enjoy printing some "keepers" for a picture albums and wall display.

The third-ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish will play to keep their BCS hopes alive, and avoid a debilitating loss on the eve of their annual clash with USC, when they face the Wake Forest Demon Deacons on Saturday.
The Irish, 10-0 for the first time since 1993 after last week's methodical, 21-6 win over Boston College, are looking to go 11-0 for the first time since their 1988 National Championship season. Notre Dame now leads the nation in scoring defense, allowing a paltry 11.1 points per game. Quarterback Everett Golson, who established himself as the starter after beating Oklahoma, has thrown for more than 200 yards and completed two touchdowns in each of Notre Dame's last two games. While Heisman buzz around senior linebacker Manti Te'o may have quieted, he remains the team's leader in tackles (92) and interceptions (6).
Wake Forest comes into Saturday's game off a blowout 37-6 loss to North Carolina State last week. The defeat dropped the Demon Deacons to 5-5 on the season and 3-5 in the ACC, with a win over Notre Dame or Vanderbilt needed for them to become bowl eligible. Wake Forest's offense has struggled all season, ranking 114th in FBS football in rushing yards and 108th in points. The Demon Deacons have managed more than 16 points just once since September, a 28-14 win over Boston College on Nov. 3. However, receiver Michael Campanaro leads the ACC in receptions per game, having caught 65 passes for 618 yards and six scores this season.
Game time, TV channel: 3:30 p.m. ET, NBC
Point spread: Notre Dame is a 24-point favorite.

Lovely pale yellow with lots of foam, normal Belgian yeasty aroma. Leaf dry hoppiness that works with the yeast, and works up in the finish a fruity and grassy climax. Well done "blonde".
Finished the bomber myself at lunch, I was tempted by the relatively lower ABV. It was a good pale Belgian and unique.

On tap at the ColLAboration beer fest at the Belasco Theater in Los Angeles, CA.
Pours a murky honey orange with a foamy orange-white head that settles to a thin cap on top of the beer. Foamy swaths of lace form on the glass on the drink down. Smell is of malt/grain, herbal hops, and some slightly funky aromas. Taste is very much the same. There is a mild bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a good level of carbonation with a crisp and clean mouthfeel. Overall, this is a good beer that is very refreshing and tasty.

A: The beer pours yellowish orange in color with a large bright white head that quickly dies down into a thin layer of bubbles that consistently covers the surface. A light to moderate amount of carbonation is visible.
S: There are mild aromas of citrusy and floral hops in the nose along with some hints of spices and yeast.
T: The taste has a light amount of bitterness and some malty sweetness with notes of apples, candi sugar, lemon, oranges and pepper.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied, crisp and smooth on the palate. There is a mild amount of dryness, mainly in the aftertaste.
D: The beer is very refreshing and easy to drink. The low alcohol content and good flavors make it a sessionable beer, particularly one well suited for the warmer months.

Ripe apricot with a gentle dusting of fine yeast. The polished ivory crown has the texture of warm marshmallow and comes pretty close to the magnificence of a world-class Belgian ale. Sticky bridges connect head and glass and then break in slow motion. Fine sheets of delicate lace look good as well.
Devotion smells like a classic Belgian pale ale that has been tinked with by an American craft brewer. There's less yeasty spiciness and more bright, floral, citric hoppiness than expected. I'm pretty sure this is going to be great beer.
Great might be a stretch, but it is very good. In my opinion, The Lost Abbey pushed it over the top by adding so many hops. Style purists of Belgian and Belgian-style beer might disagree. However, there are plenty of traditional brewers who are jumping on the 'stuff it full of hops' bandwagon. If you're a hophead, I'd definitely recommend drinking this one fresh.
Pale malt is present as no more than a skeletal structure on which to hang the hops and the yeast. The hoppiness is sunshine bright, hugely lemongrassy, spicy and citrusy. I'm thinking predominantly Saaz with a handful or two of an American ringer. Man oh man, Devotion tastes as fresh as if it was bottled this morning!
I haven't even mentioned the fruit and spice yet. Let's see... golden delicious apples, barely ripe pears, a hint of clover honey and a sprinkling of ground clove and (especially) white pepper. Each mouthful is a glorious combination of bitter, tangy and sweet, with bitter winning handily.
Although the mouthfeel is generously bubbled, the beer doesn't expand to fill the mouth as completely as it could. It's still a pleasure to gulp and swallow. Drinkability is impressive, in all senses of the word.
I had a pretty good idea that Devotion would be good beer, I just didn't think it would be quite this good. It's still waaay too early to say for sure (let me drink the handful of Port offerings that are biding their time in my cellar first), but this brewery has a chance to be one of my favorite sources for Belgian-style beer in this country.

Appearance: Pours a hazy apricot color with a modest head that persists, nevertheless, quite wll and leaves a nice pattern of lace on the chalice
Smell: Fruity, with plenty of apricot, apple and some citrus
Taste: At first, there is a bready flavor that becomes rather fruity by mid-palate, with apple, apricot and citrus; after the swallow, the hops make an appearance, but in a fairly subtle, but somewhat lemony fashion; the finish is rather dry
Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation
Drinkability: Very light and subtle; a nice beer for the summer months

Devotion is exactly what it takes to prepare an authentic Belgian Ale. Where no shortcuts are acceptable- where attention to details- where the choicest ingredients are paramount, this is what Lost Abbey does to create a beer worthy of its name.
The expressive ale pours with a billowing exuberence that easily topples the glass. Its high effervescence captivates the eye with its tall, bone-white column. As the foam settles, it laces the glass with delicate patterns. Pale straw in color, the beer's haze shows off its unfiltered character.
Bright, peppery and zesty aromas seem as much like champagne as it does of ale. Dried fruit notes are citrusy, as if constructed with dried orange, lemon and lime peels. A balancing note of white pepper, coriander and paradise seed tingle the nose. Wrapped in a cocoon of malt, its husky grain character is lightly bready, wheaty and with slight honey. A grassy scent gives the ale a rustic damp hay character heading into taste.
Light on sweetness, the beer's dry malt taste is supportive of the fruit and spice balance, but is wafer-like, bready and slightly doughy. But its that middle palate of floral spice, peppercorn and dried citrus that shapes the bulk of the beer's complexity even though it allows for a mild soapy taste to emit. As the ale finishes strikingly bitter, it hops character is grassy, hay-like and pithy.
Light and airy in texture, the ale simply bounces off the tongue with ease. Its dry malt character is just as alive in mouthfeel as it is in taste- ushering in a fast and fleeting finish that makes the beer best appreciated as echoes in its aftertaste. Warm and peppery, the ale continues to deliver flavor and depth even late.
"Devotion" is seriously devoted to delivering excellence in Belgian flavor, balance, complexity and palatability. Though the ale seems effortless, its painstaking recipe formulation and brewing execution does not go unnoticed.

750ml bottle served at 45 degrees and poured into a Flute Glass
A Poured a very nice and very bright yellow tinted amber. Lots of cloudiness and haze were apparent throughout the glass and only proceeded to thicken up as the bottle got closer to the bottom, really bringing some of the yeast forward on this one. A rather large and intense three inch high head of white frothy and foamy lace then formed on the top and decided that it was going to hang around for a while, and really just did not ever fade. Even once it started too settled, it still reaches a height of almost an inch even toward the end of the session. Needless to say copious amounts of side glass lace were present and coated the entire inside of the glass throughout the entire time.
S Wow, now I knew here I was in for a treat right away. This was such a rich, vibrant, light and fruity smell that I could not nearly contain the joy after the first whiff hit my nose. I am a big fan of Belgian Pales, and especially the ones that have he hop notes to them, and I knew right away I was going to be into something great here. Huge bouquet of light fruity yeast with hints of apples and pears, peaches all coming together and being surrounded by light grains and fresh grass. The topped was a very nice hop profile, bright floral citrus hops, not too pungent, but rather just accenting enough to really bring out everything and meld it together in an aromatic representation of rolling around in a fresh meadow. Just absolutely wonderful.
T As if it could get any better I was then able to finally take a sip. Wow is the only word that would come to mind. This is exactly what I had been looking for. A perfect example of this style and just a testament to what Lost Abbey can really do. The flavor started out as bright as I could have imagined wit ha big wave of fruit flavors just rolling over you bringing mostly hints of apples, pineapple and pear. This evolved and started to incorporate some almost lemon like flavors with hints of grass and grain, but still staying very light and bright in the profile. As it finished up it rolled off with a very long lasting finish. Very nice and dry and bitter you could really taste the hops coming through here about five seconds after your last sip, just dragging you back, making you take another. Just great here, one of the best tastes I have had in a while.
M Very very smooth this light bodied ale was really quite deceptive. The flavors were so big, but the body was so light that you really struggled to figure out how that packed so much into it. Very smooth and creamy, the carbonation here was excellent, never at all getting flat, even the last few sips which I let sit around for about 15 minutes were as fresh as the first. Very nice indeed.
D Now cmon this was just great. A light bodied well carbonated ale with a huge bright flavor profile and low abv too? How could it not be sessionable? Well its almost too good to be sessionable, as it is not like this is easy to get, but if I could have it on tap at my house I would in a second. I dont really think that you could get bored of this one, even after time it just kept getting better.
Overall this was a fantastic beer from Lost Abbey. I have been slowly working my way through their lineup and to be honest this is my favorite so far. It was so right up my alley that its not even funny. Such a great light profile and rich flavors, I am not sure how I could have not found this one earlier. This was just simply excellent and I really need to get more of it.

Bottle courtesy of Bu11zeye: Poured a deep clear golden color ale with a nice big foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of light brett with some Saaz hops. Taste is a mix between what appears to be light brett notes with some nice Belgian-type malt a dry noble hops finish. Medium body with some good carbonation. While I enjoyed that beer I have to admit that I will stick with DDC Dernière Volonté when I feel in need of an hoppy Belgian ale.

A: The pour is a slightly hazy pale golden color with a fluffy white head and some spotty lacing.
S: The nose is very heavy on the clove and coriander with some spicy hops. There is a bit of breadiness to it as well.
T: The spices completely dominate the flavor. There's a very earthy flavor to the beer as well. These two factors really overwhelm everything else, unfortunately.
M: The body is medium with a crisp, dry carbonation and feeling on the tongue.
D: This beer just seemed too heavily spiced for its own good. The base of the beer is overshadowed by these flavors.

Appearance: Pours a clear, light copper body with a tall, meringue-like white head.
Smell: Honey-scented aroma with a bit of mustiness and meadow flowers, too. Also, there's just a faint trace of Belgian spices and grassiness.
Taste: Soft, sweet malts upfront with a slight herbaceousness and a drop or two of citrus oil. Pears, spice, and fresh dough arrive midway until the alternately spicy bitter/sour finish.
Mouthfeel: Light body, with unexpectedly light carbonation.
Drinkability: I find this one to be fairly refreshing, myself.

This beer poured out as a golden yellow color, the head was white and left a decent lacing on the glass. The smell of the beer was typical, there were some grainy aromas along with some citrusy hop notes in there too. The taste of the beer had a good bitterness to it that left a sharp tingle in the back of the tongue. The mouthfeel was light and drinkable, good crisp carbonation with a dry finish. Overall it's not a bad pale ale, just not one I'd seek out again.

A - Poured out a cloudy, golden yellow color with a small, foamy, white head. It left some nice lacing.
S - It smelled of yeast, fruits (like lemon and pear) and candy sugar.
T - It tasted fairly spicy with a bready maltiness and a fruity kick.
M - It was fairly crisp and sharp. A light to medium-bodied beer.
D - This is a pretty good Belgian styled ale.

Appearance - Pale amber, clear with a slight haze. Pours with roughly an inch of head; retention is reasonably good and provides a bit of spotty lace. Overall a nice looking beer.
Smell - A bit musty and dry. Strong notes of orange rind and grapefruit, with an underlying graininess.
Taste - Dry and quite bitter, but more of a fruity bitterness than a hoppy bitterness. Mild funk. Grainy and grassy flavors are present but take a back seat to the fruity bitterness. A slight tartness appears in the finish, mixing with the bitter bite to create a strong grapefruit-like bitterness. It seems like they were going for an Orval character with this beer, though it lacks both the complexity and balance of Orval. Still, not a bad beer.
Mouthfeel - Light-bodied, slightly watery. Very active carbonation. Decent.

This week's Mean Monkey Monday was brought to you by Subtropic Bob.
Mean Monkey Monday 2
31 Responses to "Mean Monkey Monday 2"
HEY! That monkey on the right is humping her leg! Naughty monkey!
Hey I just scanned a bunch of pages from Man's World, 1957.
was monkeyphobia really that big of a thing back then?
I'm more perplexed by the "I don't want my daughter marrying an American" article/whatever that it's advertising.
I'm more perplexed by the "I don't want my daughter marrying an American" article/whatever that it's advertising.
It's simple: she's the daughter, the man is the American, and the monkeys are her parents and extended family.
Looks like this woman has flung herself to the fate of those angry monkeys, rather than have to marry that American behind her?
The link for Mean Monkeys page 3 doesn't work.
I wish I had something clever to say about the cover, but I've only started my morning coffee. That poor woman's leg looks like it's been dislocated.
Look at the man's physique. He's pale, lean and moderately muscular, with hair on his chest. Today, that body type would be considered a scrawny weakling. The Hero would be shaved, tan, glossy and bulked up like The Incredible Hulk.
The Damsel's still a babe, though.
Wow. I don't remember Savannah being anything like that.
Besides, Asheville, NC is going to have something to say about that: http://www.stagmags.com/L-to-M/Mans-Life/imagepages/image14.php
AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! i f***ing love the mean monkey mondays!!!!! i cannot get enough of these awesome pictures! NEVER stop posting them! if you run out, draw some more. it really feels like a glimpse back into a simpler time when people had real fears that involved incredibly violent monkeys instead of pissing themselves over "super-bugs" and imminent terror attacks. at least these pictures send a clear message: monkeys hate you and they WILL NOT hesitate to murder you. i think that's something we can all agree on.
"Spider Monkeys Tore Me Apart."
Think about it. The Man's Life deadline was rapidly approaching. Someone actually sat in front of their typewriter, (desperate for ideas) with an ashtray full of cigarette butts and an empty bottle of whiskey nearby, rubbed the stubble on his chin, then suddenly said "aha!" and typed the above title. Once he had the title, the rest of the article practically wrote itself.
Ahh, the creative life.
I don't know whether it's the artist or the editor writing the caption, but someone has never seen a spider monkey.
I'd love to see the LAST issue of this magazines. Did the editor include a farewell message? "It has been my pleasure to provide you, our readers, with the finest in primate attack fiction . . ."
The more I see these, the more I think I need to subscribe to MAN'S LIFE.
This is so much more awesome than the free subscription to Boys' Life we got in boy scouts. If they'd sent us Man's Life instead, I'd probably have stayed in to get my Eagle badge.
"Spider monkeys tore me apart."
Serves her right for going into the jungle without a good sports bra. She's going to have terrible nipple chafes when she has to run away from that guy with the beer gut.
"You came to us in the middle of the sweaty jungle with perfectly styled hair and lipstick! But we disapprove of your foundation and blush!! You wore 'Whitewash McWhitey' with that shirt??
You must dieeeeeeeee!"
Boingboing, all the nerdy stuff I want, now with more of the nostalgic magazine monkey attacks that I need!
Savannah's not that happy. Mean monkeys would only improve it.
This is why, in the 80s' we developed technologies to Spank and Shock the Money.
Umm.. That should have been Monkey, as in "Show me the monkey!"
C'mon! Did you look at what she was wearing? She was asking for it!
Ok, after post 2, I was like "Hah, weird cooincidence." After post 3 I was like "The people at Man's Life must REALLY like drawing angry monkeys" Now with post 4 I must be forced to conclude that the magazine is actually entirely ABOUT monkey attacks. And I also want a subscription.
To be fair, these covers are from the magazines ALL-MAN, MEN, MALE and MAN'S LIFE respectively: clearly one of them made a killing with their monkey-themed covers and the others followed suit.
I'll bet they started going with the monkey covers after sales were flat on this issue:

I don't know. The one wrapped around her waist seems almost friendly, like it's giving her a hug.
Yeah. The one on her arm just wants to style her hair. If she'd just stop thrashing about and screaming the hair dye wouldn't be getting all over the place.

Beautiful failed typewriter design: the writing ball
The Malling-Hansen writing ball is a proto-typewriter that, sadly for contemporary aesthetics, lost the battle for typewriting supremacy. This page from the Malling-Hansen Society claims it was superior to the winning design, and they may be correct; but it certainly is more striking (no pun intended) to my eye.

Anomalous price impact and the critical nature of liquidity in financial markets
AbstractWe propose a dynamical theory of market liquidity that predicts that the average supply/demand profile is V-shaped and {\it vanishes} around the current price. This result is generic, and only relies on mild assumptions about the order flow and on the fact that prices are (to a first approximation) diffusive. This naturally accounts for two striking stylized facts: first, large metaorders have to be fragmented in order to be digested by the liquidity funnel, leading to long-memory in the sign of the order flow. Second, the anomalously small local liquidity induces a breakdown of linear response and a diverging impact of small orders, explaining the "square-root" impact law, for which we provide additional empirical support. Finally, we test our arguments quantitatively using a numerical model of order flow based on the same minimal ingredients.

Do You Want Your Child to Read?
Children model their parents' behavior (scary concept, I know); what their parents DO is much more important than what their parents SAY. So, if you want your children to read, make it clear that your home values reading. Carve out some evening time to read and suggest your children do the same. Even better, carve out some time to read together. And best of all, join a Literary Masters Parent/Child book group to discuss what you've read together. Not only will you learn something about the book--I guarantee you, you will learn something about your child!

A Roll of a WHIRL!
As you well know, WHIRL stands for What Have I Read Lately, and I have to say, I have been on a roll! I won't have time to do full reviews or even "Should Your Book Club Read..." reviews--sorry! But I can give you a "blink" of what I think.
So, What Have I Read Lately?
here. To read these two book together is a real treat, but if you don't have the time, read this one! It is a sparkling gem of a novel! New York City in the late 1800's--and the social climbing involved in surviving there. The more things change, the more they...
Five stars.
Well, what have YOU read lately?

Should Your Book Club Read The Good Lord Bird by James McBride?
So what can your book club discuss?
Warp-speed plot summary: It's 1856 and Henry, a slave in Kansas Territory (where pro-slavers and anti-slavers are up against each other), meets Old John Brown, the legendary abolitionist. Old John Brown, who sees things the way he sees them, not only gives Henry a new name--Onion, he also gives him a new gender, turning him from Henry to Henrietta. Onion joins John Brown, or the Captain, on his quest to free all the slaves--just as God has ordained--and travels with him for the following years until the big event at Harpers Ferry, which will precipitate the Civil War.
Henry tells us the story and rips us along on his adventure much like he was ripped along by Old John Brown. Fasten your seat belts, for you are in for a ride!
You'll want to discuss the language!!! You'll want to savor it for sure, but you'll want to consider why the author used this sort of wild west/Huckleberry Finn/caricature style to tell his tale. How does it affect your reading experience? How does it affect the meaning of the book for you? What purpose does the humor serve?
You'll want to discuss why Henry becomes Henrietta for so long, and what makes him revert to Henry. Are identity issues being explored here? Or is it saying more about Old John Brown's view of the world, seeing what he wanted to see. Or is John Brown creating the world he wants? Is Onion able to do more as a girl than a boy? Or is the author subverting traditional notions of male/female abilities? Is he making a statement about the time, 1856?
You'll want to discuss Onion in depth. Hero? Villain? Neither? Reliable narrator? What does he learn on his journey? What was his purpose to Old John Brown?
You'll want to discuss Frederick Douglass and his portrayal in this story. What point is being made by his characterization?
You'll want to talk about the role of slaves and the role of free blacks in dealing with slavery and abolition. This book makes it clear that it was a complex issue, so you'll want to "dig deep" into what exactly the book is saying about this.
You'll want to discuss whether this is an important book and why or why not. Is it an essential addition to the literature about slavery and the civil war? Can it help race relations today?
And of course, you'll want to talk about the messages or overall point of the book. You'll want to ask yourselves, What is this book about???
There's lots more to discuss, but that ought to get you started! Enjoy!

Should Your Book Club Read Three Strong Women by Marie Ndiaye?
My answer to whether your book club should read it is: it depends on your book club. This is not a typical book club read, and I can't imagine everyone loving it...having said that, it is worth reading and worth discussing--if your book club can handle a book that is, well, beautiful but suffocating, compelling but depressing.
So what can your book club discuss?
Warp-speed plot summary:
The book consists of three stories that are very loosely connected. In the first part, Norah has been called back to her native Senegal from France by her father, a demonic character who has a grip over Norah that she can't shake. Or can she?
In the second part, Rudy has brought his Senegalese wife Fanta back to France where only Rudy can legally work. Although schooled and trained to be a teacher, Rudy works as a kitchen salesman. His boss is the man with whom Fanta had an affair. Rudy immediately forgave his boss, but has had trouble forgiving Fanta and has treated her horribly in retaliation. Rudy is now desperate because he thinks Fanta may leave him for good.
In the third (and most depressing) part, Khady has been kicked out of her deceased husband's family's house and told to make her way from Senegal to France. With no schooling, no family, no home, and no way to make an independent living, Khady has no choice but to do what she is told. Or does she?
One aspect of all these stories that you'll want to discuss is the mental stability (or lack thereof) of the three main characters. Is Norah slowly losing her mind, her grip on reality? Can we readers trust her as a reliable narrator? How does her account of her trip to and stay in Senegal change from the beginning of her narration to the end? Is Rudy losing his mind? If you think Norah and/or Rudy are losing their grasps on reality, how do you think they end up? Do they go totally insane? Do they pull back from the brink and return to reality? Do they remain just as they are? Is Khady in touch with reality? Why or why not?
You'll want to discuss the symbolism and imagery in the book and what meaning is conveyed to the reader and why. There is a touch of magical realism in the first and second stories in particular--or is there? Instead, are we simply listening to the thoughts and rantings of mentally ill people?
You'll definitely want to discuss the language and the way the author creates an atmosphere that is oppressive and claustrophobic--for the characters as well as for the reader. And what about the dreamlike states the characters seem to drift in and out of? Are they related to the question of mental illness, or do they have a different purpose? How do they make you feel as reader? Like you're moving in slow motion?
You'll want to talk about the title. The word "puissant" in French means powerful. Why does the English title use the word "strong"? And who is strong or powerful? What kind of strength or power is wielded in this novel? Oh yes, this is a big discussion. Possibly the biggest.
You'll want to talk about mothers, fathers, and other relationships in the novel. Is there a pattern? Who are the villains and why? How are the children responding to the legacies left to them by their parents?
Talk about how the stories are connected. Are the stories more meaningful because they are together? Are there repetitions? Are there similar themes?
There's much more to discuss, but that should get you started. Let me know how it goes!

Here are some of the better prospects fighting this week. I'm not perfect, if I've missed a fight that you know of... or someone has pulled out of a fight let me know in the comments section.
RUFF - 30 Nov - Shanghai, China
Guan Wang (12-0-1) vs. Bakbulat Magomedov (11-0)
Age: 27
Height: 5'11
Magomedov was going to fight Will Chope on the UFC card in Singapore, before his pesky contractual obligations got in the way. This is a big fight for both men as Wang could pick up a very good win over a guy that UFC clearly wants on the roster and Magomedov needs to keep winning in order for his UFC roster spot to still be there when he is free and clear. It is not common to find two undefeated prospects with over 10 wins each facing each other, so I'm very curious to see how this plays out. Wang brings a Sanda martial arts base to the cage, and will match it against the Sambo of Magomedov. I've seen Wang described as the best Chinese fighter Pound for Pound. Magomedov has won 10 of his 11 of his fights by stoppage so far with a mix of TKOs (7), and Submissions (3).
Show Fighting Enterprise - 30 Nov - Quito, Ecuador
Ben Reiter (11-0-1) vs. Amilcar Alves (15-4)
Age: 26
Height: 5'11
Reiter is a powerful fighter, who is looking to clinch and put fighters on their back, where he can work Ground and pound or submissions. Alves is a UFC veteran, but was fighting at Welterweight during his time in the organization. This still would be a big win for Reiter, as he recently went to a draw with Strikeforce vet, Marcos Rogerio de Lima.
M-1 Global - 30 Nov - Tula, Russia
Yuri Maia (12-1) vs. Magomed Magomedov (5-2)
Age: 20
Height: 5'8
Maia is on an 11-fight win streak and has been looking for a step up in competition. He was scheduled to meet Julio Cesar Neves (28-0) in early November before Neves signed with Bellator. Now Yuri will travel to Russia to face Magomedov, who brings a three-fight win streak into the match. Yuri's striking has improved from his early fights, but he still needs to work on his transitions from striking to takedowns if he wants to take his game to the next level.
KOTC - 30 Nov - Orville, CA
Josh Paiva (4-0) vs. Anthony Figueroa (8-7-1)
Age: 22
Height: 5'6
Paiva has a wrestling background, and you can see it in his game. Look for some nice slams, and throws when he closes the distance. His standup game is developing, and but his wrestling is still his bread and butter. Figueroa is a Strikeforce vet, and should a good challenge for Paiva.

A man who claims to be the prime suspect in a Surrey homicide called a Vancouver TV station to proclaim his innocence.
Barry McQuarrie, the suspect in the slaying of Gary Quesnelle last Monday, called CTV News Sunday to say cops will have to "do their job" to get him behind bars.
"This is a cat-and-mouse game. I'm not handing myself in to the cops because I'm not getting myself out when I get arrested. So they have to do their job and find me," McQuarrie told CTV news in a phone conversation broadcast on the weekend.
He said he has no plans to turn himself in — at least when the weather is nice.
"I want to enjoy the summer as much as I can," he said. "When the time comes after the summer is over, maybe I might hand myself in. If I make it that long."
Police believe it was the wanted man who called the station, not an imposter.
"He knows we are looking to speak with him," said Integrated Homicide Investigation Team spokesman Sgt. Adam MacIntosh.
The safety of the public, officers and McQuarrie himself is the police's goal, said MacIntosh, "and the person who has the most control over that is Mr. McQuarrie.
"The best way to do that is to turn himself in, so I encourage him to give us a call."
Investigators believe McQuarrie, 33, is still in the Lower Mainland.
He is wanted on unrelated warrants. He has not been charged in the death of Quesnelle, 32, who was found with gunshot wounds in his Cloverdale townhouse May 12. Investigators said the motive for the homicide likely stemmed from a domestic dispute.
McQuarrie has a criminal record, with charges including drug possession, theft and break and enter.
MacIntosh said anyone with information on McQuarrie's whereabouts is asked to call the IHIT tip line at 1-877-551-4448 or anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
He reiterated that McQuarrie should still be considered armed and dangerous, despite his protestations.
Meanwhile, surveillance shots have turned up that police believe show McQuarrie as he used a payphone in Aldergrove on Sunday.
The blurry shots, which IHIT and Surrey RCMP released to give an updated description of the suspect, show a man in cap and sunglasses carrying a dark satchel.
