Houston Airport System Embraces Technology to Share Wait Times for Security Checkpoints on Fly2Houston.com
HOUSTON, Nov. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Effective immediately, passengers flying out of Houston have a new technology with real-time data on security checkpoint wait times at George Bush Intercontinental (IAH) and William P. Hobby Airport. A new innovative tool on www.Fly2Houston.com captures Bluetooth signals and displays how long it actually takes travelers to clear the checkpoint.
"We exist to connect people, businesses, cultures and economies of the world to Houston and this new tool is our gift to the traveling public this holiday season," said Mario C. Diaz, Houston Airport System Director of Aviation.
While passengers understand the need to arrive early at either of Houston's hub airports, until today they could only speculate on how much time they needed to get through the checkpoints. The Houston Airport System launched the new Bluetooth system at nine checkpoints on November 16 as it celebrates "Customer Appreciation Day."
Houston Airport System Security Checkpoints:
- IAH Terminal A North
- IAH Terminal A South
- IAH Terminal B
- IAH Terminal C/E Connector
- IAH Terminal C North
- IAH Terminal C South
- IAH Terminal D
- IAH Terminal E
- HOU Terminal
"We are using technology to enhance the customer experience," said Lisa Kent, Houston Airport System Chief Information Officer. "We've equipped all eight checkpoints at our five terminals at Bush Intercontinental and our single checkpoint at Hobby with this online tool."
The airport system's innovation team refreshes www.Fly2Houston.com every 15 minutes with new data. Fly2Houston.com displays one of three levels for each of the checkpoints to reflect the wait time length:
- Green - wait time is less than 10 minutes
- Yellow - wait time is between 10 and 15 minutes
- Red - wait time is more than 15 minutes
"This initiative allows us to be transparent in our operational efficiencies and provide the traveling public with a true snapshot of how much time they need to budget to be processed at any of our nine checkpoints in Houston," said Jeff Bream, Houston Airport System Technology Infrastructure Assistant Director.
The multi-checkpoint dashboard collects real-time data from Bluetooth signals as passengers are processed. The wait time program monitors how much time an average person spends moving through the checkpoint area.
The new technology to showcase multiple terminals with many checkpoints was developed through a partnership with Georgia-based Infax, Inc., which is a leading provider of display and computing technology solutions used in the aviation, mass transit and courthouse markets.
The Houston Airport System is a significant economic engine with a $27.5 billion impact to the local economy. During the Thanksgiving holiday season, more than 1.3 million passengers will travel through Houston's two commercial airports. November 16 is projected as the busiest day at Intercontinental with more than 180,000 passengers reported by airlines for advanced bookings. Hobby's peak day is November 19 with more than 17,000 passengers expected.

Toledo police say a 14-year-old girl who reported she was assaulted at a downtown bus stop lied. The report was originally made January 16. Investigators say the girl told them she was waiting for the bus near the Macomber building when a man grabbed and robbed her and tried to sexually assault her.
However, after an investigation, officers say certain facts from the girl do not match up with evidence uncovered by police. They add that the information the teen gave police to create a suspect sketch is false, and the image does not depict a real person.
The girl is now facing a falsification charge. The investigation is ongoing.

4 of 6 people found the following review helpful
They're Back!!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Union Of Souls (Audio CD)
After a 4 year split and 2 years after reforming they finally release their 3rd album.
3 Colours Red have moved on, they got a new guitarist and their songs have matured.
The album is a little short in length at 34 minutes and only has 10 tracks, a bit disapointing after it has taken two years.
The tracks are not their strongest but their are a few good gems like the first single Repeat To Fade and a potential single The World Is Yours which is the only song which would fitted on their debut Pure.
F.C.K.U is an excellent live track but they over produced the song on the album, which sound dull, it does feauture Jason Perry from A on backing vocal duties on this song.
Other highlights are Desenitive and Made In Indonesia, Their is no Beautiful Day but The Union Of Souls & Ceasefire are the slower ones.
Die-Hard 3 Colours Red fans should like this but it's not their best, but still a good comeback album.
New fans to 3 colours red should also listen to their previous 2 albums as that's where their genius still stands.

Just in case you mistakenly heard that it was all ice and snow in Russia, take a peek at the Big Bikini Exposition. This is right on the river Moskva in Moscow!
Moscow has been the capital of Russia for almost its entire history. The exception is during the period of the Russian Empire, which lasted from 1721 until the Russian Revolution 1917. For these two centuries the capital was St. Petersburg. The Russian Empire was the second largest contiguous Empire in world memory; only the Mongol Empire had been greater.

Although you may not have heard of Sochi, on the Black Sea, they're building up quickly and hope to host the 2014 Olympics.
Other periods of Russian history include the Tsardom of Russia, from Ivan IV to Peter the Great, and the Grand Duchy (14th-16th centuries).
The earliest period of Russian history was ruled by the Novgorod Republic and Kievan Rus, which was the first Russian state dating back to 800AD in Kiev.
Modern Russia remains one of the world's superpowers. They launched the earth's second satellite, called Sputnik 1, and were the first country to put a human being into orbit around earth. (The first one is called the Moon.)
After the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991, Russia became a federal republic of 83 states.

LONDON (Reuters) – Libya's ruling family tried to coerce billions of dollars from Libyan and foreign oil companies, and its leader Muammar Gaddafi exhorted the United States to sow division in Saudi Arabia, leaked American diplomatic cables reveal.
One cable seen by Reuters, sent from the U.S. embassy in Tripoli, shows Gaddafi's government exerting heavy pressure on U.S. and other oil companies to reimburse Tripoli the $1.5 billion Libya had paid in 2008 into a fund to settle terrorism claims from the 1980s.
The amount was the initial payment in a planned $1.8 billion fund. The cable suggests Gaddafi intended foreign oil companies to provide full funding for the scheme, which at the time was a key factor in improving ties between Libya and the United States.
Even before Libya paid into the fund, Gaddafi, "who prides himself on being a shrewd bargainer, made it clear that he intended to extract contributions from foreign companies to cover the … initial outlay," according to the April 2009 cable titled "GOL ratchets up pressure on oil companies to contribute to U.S.-Libya claims fund."
Senior Libyan officials met representatives of 15 oil producing and service companies — including Marathon, ConocoPhillips, Occidental, ENI, Total , Wintershall, PetroCanada, Repsol and StatoilHydro — to say they must contribute or Libya's National Oil Corporation (NOC) would be compelled to "reconsider our relationship with you," the cable says.
Prime Minister-equivalent al-Baghdadi al-Mahmoudi is cited as telling oil firms that if they did not comply, there would be "serious consequences."
When Challenger Drilling's representative said it would have legal difficulties if it chose to contribute to the fund, the officials "were quick to offer possible mechanisms that would allow (the companies) to circumvent such problems," the cable said, citing a representative from Hess who later complained that "pressure had turned into coercion" at the meeting.
The instinct to ask oil companies for money was apparently not new. An earlier cable, sent in July 2008, relates how one of Gaddafi's sons, National Security Adviser Muatassim al-Gaddafi, was demanding "$1.2 billion in cash or oil shipments" from the NOC itself.
The reported attempts by Gaddafi's sons "to use the NOC as a personal bank" alongside doubts about prospects for meaningful reform, suggest "the regime remains unchanged with respect to the way it conducts key elements of its business," says the cable headlined "National Oil Corporation chairman Shukri Ghanem may seek to resign soon."
Muatassim may have intended to use some of the funds to establish a military or security unit akin to that of his younger brother, Khamis, and to pay for unspecified "security upgrades" he wanted to make in his capacity as National Security Adviser, the cable says.
Gaddafi had laughingly dismissed the claim, the cable says; but it cites a Libyan businessman outside the NOC as stating Gaddafi's children are "undisciplined thugs": "No one can cross or refuse such people … without suffering consequences, particularly when the matter is to do with money."
The cables, obtained by WikiLeaks and seen by Reuters, also offer insight into Gaddafi's views on regional neighbor Saudi Arabia.
One cable recounts how, in 2006, Gaddafi had urged the United States to call for "self determination" for tribal groups of Saudi Arabia, "who would presumably choose a government other than the present monarchy."
Gaddafi's comments came on a visit by the late Democrat Congressman Tom Lantos, then a member of the U.S. House Foreign Relations Committee, and were made in Gaddafi's desert encampment on the outskirts of Sirte, according to the cable from August 2006 headlined "Congressman Lantos stresses bilateral achievements and regional challenges with Libyan officials."
In an hour-long meeting, Gaddafi mainly expounded on the rise of Wahhabism in Saudi Arabia, "which has become one of his standard topics," said the cable; he also lobbied for support for a plan to create "Isratine" — a secular Jewish-Palestinian state — as the best solution for lasting peace in the Middle East.
The cable separately recounts how a speech on political and economic reform by another of Gaddafi's sons, Seif Al-Islam Gaddafi, had earned a rebuke from Egypt's leader Hosni Mubarak. Lantos had congratulated Seif on his speech, it says. "Seif immediately noted that President Mubarak of Egypt called his father, the leader, to express his displeasure with the speech, saying it called for 'too much change and too much freedom' and warning that the country should be more conservative in its approach to change."
Seif claimed not to know what his father's reply to Mubarak was, the cable says, commenting that since the speech was broadcast widely on state-run media, it must have had the tacit blessing of the leader.
The cable also points to a bizarre sense of humor within Libya about the politics of dictatorship in the region. On the Lantos visit, it says, the delegation was shown an in-flight movie — an Egyptian film called "The Leader" — which makes fun of Middle Eastern dictatorships:
"Security personnel and a local translator confirmed that many of the jokes in the movie … could be aimed at Gaddafi or Mubarak, including a scene showing disregard for members of the cabinet," the cable says.
It goes on to comment that "it is unclear if this was to show that the leader does in fact have a sense of humor about his monopoly on political power, or that a certain degree of toleration exists in Libya, or that the Libyans love a movie that pokes fun at Egyptian politics — if in fact the Libyans intended any message at all."

Mochila insert follows…
Gee, other's countries leaders aren't morons, why ours?
I feel so bad for big oil being coerced by these thugs, it's kinda like the thugs that are gonna make me pay $5 dollars a gal or I can just walk cause they're not gonna do business with me. Jeebus,what goes around comes around!
Cable received by Reuters! Who owns Reuters? Spinning some truths with bold faced lies. Classic disinfo-journalism.
Ahhh da poor oil companies got squezed for a few billion dollars.
They would understand slightly better what the consumer is paying for their nasty products.
(This happens all the time, big oil, big deals and the US gov't in the middle. That's why we will never, ever get aways from Oil, gas and coal even if the planet caught fire.)
This may be the way to get rid of Gaddafi as we helped to get rid of Mubarak. Sometimes out of mistakes comes good.
At the risk of driving the teabagging/gop/paranoids crazy, why doesn't our government start getting involved in oil?
I'd like to see gas stations owned by our government too. Imagine how our economy would improve, and the privately own would have to deal with not getting so much power. And wouldn't have much hold on our government or us.
And sometimes not. It remains to be seen. I for one would like to see us go out of the regime change business. But I don't think we ever will.
Well, there go so many tinfoil conspiracies. Oh, never mind, I forgot WikiLeaks itself is a conspiracy.
I got a big scoop. Qaddafi made another incoherent rant on state teevee today. This time, he's blaming Osama bin Ladden and Al Qaeda. The bastard is desperate. That was a message to the US to invade. He is being coached by his pal, the other tinpot dictator with the beard and big cigar. Oddly enough, the other one released one of diatribes blaming the Western media (the one that is not allowed in Libya. The same on he praised so highly for the coverage of Egypt), Israel, NATO and the barber who wouldn't trim his beard right before Qaddafi's speech. If the whole thing weren't so morbid and tragic, it would be comic. Those two nuts on one side blaming everybody and the wolves on the other side, waiting and salivating. Those poor Libyans. How my heart aches for them! This is not Egypt.
Don't despair, Gerry. The winds of change are blowing. Besides, the US is broke. Caput. Done.
And consider the source. Imagine how things are really panning out.
This is exactly how Reagen ramped up US support for the Libyan airstrike , false translations, false accusations blaming Libya for unrelated events (or even event the US committed), etc. It's like a carbon copy of 1985-1986 and westerners are duping themselves again.
If you see it on your nightly news, 70% of what you saw is bullsh*t.
Ahem, consider WHERE you heard it from.
I hope you're wearing the tinfoil. I heard the gamma rays are particularly strong today.
Yes, Al Jazeera. The same Al Jazeera that reported the Egypt protests. Are you objecting to those too or no?
We govern by the golden rule. That's why those who have the gold rule. It's not that they are morons exactly, although they are. They do what is in their interest not ours.

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
Flower Hospital is in danger of losing its Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement after an incident in the psychiatric ward.
ProMedica says they would have an action plan submitted to correct the matter Monday April 28. Flower Hospital has been cited with an immediate jeopardy situation. Representatives from ProMedica say in order to fix that, they have submitted their action plan to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
Representatives from ProMedica say they will not be providing any additional information on the action plan and no details about what's inside. However, a representative last week said they will provide more details on the action plan after it has been accepted.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services say they do not know how long it will take to approve the plan. They say it depends on the length of the plan, and if ProMedica is asked for revisions.
The Ohio Department of Health also confirms this plan has been submitted.

3.78/5 rDev -4.5%
Poured from 11.2 oz bottle into Unibroue tulip.
A - Poured a crisp amber with a tall collar and super frothy and clingly lacing.
S - Pretty hoppy, but a pleasant even hoppy smell. Not overbearing. Subtle sour notes in the background as well as a hint of citrus, spices, and earthy tones. Not as funky as I was expecting. Actually, quite pleasant smelling.
T - Nicer balance of hops than the nose would lead you to believe. A touch sour, but somewhat subdued. A little funky, but nowhere near as funky as some other Brett beers I've tried.
M - Pretty boring. Very smooth, but not really alive. Kind of watery, but flavorful. Leaves a dry mouth with a slightly bitter aftertaste. Has almost an applejuice like feel to it with a slightly sour beer flavor.
D - Extremely easy to drink. Not really powerful in any one direction and very smooth. Alc is hidden pretty well. Not too sour, not too hoppy. A very easy drinker. If there was a beer flavored juice out there, this would be it.

11.2 oz bottle poured into a John Smith's tulip glass
It pours a very cloudy rusty brown with a generous 3 fingered pillowy ivory colored head. As it dies down into nice cap, sticky bubbles cling to the sides.
The aroma is classic brett. A marriage of earthy funk and pineapple fruit. I tried to find the strain used or whether it is a blend. I recently homebrewed a 100% Brett c. beer and the nose is very similar. I really enjoy an all Brett fermentation.
The taste is pretty earthy with a sweet finish. Not as much pineapple or fruit in the taste as the aroma. Alcohol can be tasted in the backend. This beer is probably designed to be pretty neutral in the malt and hop charecter and that is what it accomplishes. I can't fault it for that because the series is meant to be educational.
The mouthfeel is full and the carbonation high. It works with this beer well and in turn makes for a highly drinkable although relitively expensive beer.

4.35/5 rDev +9.8%
11.2 oz bottle, purchased at De Cicco's, Ardsley, NY, no bargain @ $5.99, no freshness/bottling date info to be had.
Pours a nice dense shade of orange/mango, cloudy, the head is soft medium tan, leaving cascades of tiny bubble film, sheeting and very fine lace , a full 3 inches up the glass.
Complex nose with hints of tropical fruit, sour fruit, slight barnyard funk, minty - cirtusy flourishes.
Highly enjoyable Belgian, plenty of subtle sweet and moderate sour, some light smoke, cheesy funk on the back side. I love this style of brew (BSPA? I think not, more of a wild ale/lambic/saison mix) and I love this brew. Complex, subtle/bright, great looking.
Bring on the funky and acidic cheeses and enjoy.

The beer pours a yellow-orange color with a huge white head. The aroma is excellent. I could smell this beer all day long. I get a lot of orange citrus notes with some great brett and leather qualities. The flavor is brett, oranges and caramel malt. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. This was sampled with the other four beers in this series and this one is head and shoulders above the rest.

3.75/5 rDev -5.3%
Funky aroma wafts through the room. Cloudy golden body with a ridiculous amount of thick foam. A bit of a tongue number, active carbonation. A little toastiness, carmel, citrus. Really good, and fun, if you like funk. Very drinkable, ends in tartness, and then a bitter aftertaste.

Served from bottle into a Surly Darkness snifter. Poured red-orange with a four finger off-white head that subsided to two fingers very slowly. Maintained excellent lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt, sour, tart, and barnyard funk. The flavor was of sweet malt, sour, bubble gum, and funk. It had a light feel on the palate with medium carbonation. Overall this was a pretty decent brew. This one definitely showcased the Brett for me. There was a massive funk going on in this one in the followthrough. This was also the first time I've picked up on bubble gum in a beer, I definitely hope this isn't the last time. Definitely get your hands on this one!

1 of 4 in Yeast Series; all tasted at the same time.
Pours a deep orange with a big fluffy and firm, long lasting white head. Nicest and f irmest head I've seen in a long time. Lovely.
Nose is "Belgian Ale" with just a hint of brett, which is surprising since this is a brett brew! Has more of a sweet fruity brett character, not the wet blanket/horse shit character one might usually expect.
Mouth is rich, bold, creamy and nicely integrated.
Flavors are just wonderfully integrated, complex and appealing - the best and most complex of the yeast series in my opinion. Big, bold and complex flavors of malt, coffee, herbs and spices, white pepper, celery and hint of salt along with the compleities of the brett character.
This is delicious, drinkable and with a bit of an earth, funk, burnt toast bitter finish. All around a complex, appealing and nice drink.

4.1/5 rDev +3.5%
9oz draft pour, served in a snifter, and sampled on 10/22/11.
A: Arrives with a small white head that lasts fairly long and provides random slings of lace. The body is medium orange, very radiant.
S: Great nose and unexpected hop aroma. Even though the yeast character is strong, the hops contribute floral notes plus citrus scents of orange, lemon and clementine. Barnyard,funk and Smarties are prevalent, but not overwhelmingly so.
T: Just a small drop off from the nose. Citrus fruit forward flavors continue while adding peach and pineapple. The malt bill is grainy and nondescript - a sensible decision for the yeast series. Brett is much more intense here and adds a butterscotch flavor plus chalk on the finish.
M: Medium body with a mineral-like texture. Carbonation is fizzy and adequate. Lightly sweet at first. Finishes dry with a moderate amount of bitterness on the backend.
O: Pretty darn good beer from Mikkeller. And redeeming enough for me to continue to take chances on this spotty brewery.

Bottle: purchased at Perry's Liquors (Livermore, Ca)
Consumed from Michael Jackson's "Tasting Glass"
A: Cloudy, blood orange colour. Pours with a thin white head.
Promises tart flavours.
S: Nose is tart orange, bitter citrus.
T: Taste of soft orange and tangerine. Tart brett is apparent but not overstated.
M: Delicate and lively. Tartness is playful yet smooth. Wonderful puckering.
O: Have had better Brett beers, but as always Mikkeller comes through with a delicious adventure into the world of Brett. Would almost call it a sour for beginners. Quite liked it.

3.48/5 rDev -12.1%
Poured from a 12oz bottle into a tulip glass.
Appearance: Pours a deep copper with two fingers of foamy, off white head that settled down after a few minutes of sitting.
Smell: Brett, grapefruit, some slightly sour fruits and a weird perfume aroma.
Taste: Bitter grapefuit, funky tart brett, hints of earthy dirt.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied and decently carbonated.
Overall: I had higher hopes for this beer, but this is one of the instances that brett doesn't make a beer better. Kudos to Mikkeller for trying something different with the yeast series.

4.03/5 rDev +1.8%
Poured from an 11.2oz bottle into a Mikkeller tulip.
A: Pours a rich looking, deep golden-orange. Sitting on top is a massively thick and creamy, khaki colored glob of foam that retained for ages. Much sparkly lace was left behind and the carbonation was pretty lively.
S: Equal parts musty funk, bright citrus, white grape, lime zest, and a hint of piney hops.
T: Pretty tart with a funky back. Loads of lime with snatches of lemon here and there. Old, musty hay and damp dirt.
M: Pretty bright on the tongue at first. As it develops, it becomes drier with a hint of chalkiness at the end of the finish.
D: Really pretty nice. This was my first of the series and I hope the rest to follow are at least as good if not better!

Pours a nice amber color, cap of stiff white bubbles, good retention and lacing. Scent is dominated by brett as expected, earthy barnyard funk, nice underlying fresh dried hay and grapefruity hops come through. Taste is brett forward as well, some tartness acompanies the funkyness. Unexpected light fruityness aside from grapefruity hops. Lighter side of medium bodied, lingers on lips and palate. A nice beer, very much a showcase for brett, but good underlying beer.

12oz bottle poured into a Tripel Karmeliet Tulip.
A - Very cloudy brown/tan. Almost muddy looking. Thick foamy tan head is formed when the glass is swirled.
S - Lots of funky goodness, citrus, band aid and a faint spiciness cinnamon maybe.
T - Obviously this beer is brett forward so the funkiness from the nose is there. Same with the citrus/grapefruit from the hops that leaves a bitter finish. Also getting some lemon. After a few more sips the bitterness really lingers.
M - Good carbonation and a light to medium body.
D - The only thing that would keep me from drinking a few of these in a sitting is the price tag. Very good all around beer.

3.5/5 rDev -11.6%
A - Copper colored beer with a bit of haze. Fluffy white head that left some spots on the sides.
S - Some tropical fruit, funk, citrus. Smells better than the other two I had.
T - Taste is about like the nose. Some funk, light sour notes. Little bit of lactic notes on the end.
M - Lower carbonation, medium bodied.
O - I guess this is the best one, although it's not great. I don't really care for the yeast series. I think if you are going to focus on different yeasts you should make sure the beers you're making are better.

3.9/5 rDev -1.5%
11.2 oz bottle.
It pours a decent pale brownish/honey/amber color. The head is huge and ivory in color. As it slowly recedes it leaves some nice lacing behind.
The smell remnds me of some other Mikkeller Brett ales. It is sweet and caramally but with the signature bretty must and funkiness. It isn't super funky since this is a young bottle, but enough to excite the nose. There is also a nice pinch of hops in there for a nice balance.
The flavor is suprising to me. It is very flavorful, even with my alergies acting up. There is a very intriguing and nice hopiness along with a nice big mouthful of brett. It isn't super funky but nice and spicy and yeasty. There is a nice hint of lemon and fruit.
The mouthfeel is perhaps a bit undercarboanted and would serve as the weak point of this beer. Think hoppy wild ales for this one, it would be in the realm of a Wild Devil.
Another Great mikkeller beer, but too bad about the price.

Served in a tumbler at ChurchKey.
The first entry in my...horizontal???...at ChurchKey. You know the staff knows you when, as you sit down at the bar, the bartender asks, "Let me guess, you want one of each?" Indeed I do. This one pours a clear copper-amber topped by about two fingers of ecru froth. They all pretty much look like this. The nose comprises sour white grapes, funk, wet blanket, wet hay, must, and, oddly enough, peanuts. The taste dips a bit, dominated by a harsh lactic sour that just doesn't seem to fit like other wilds. Cobwebs, wet blankets, limes, and swiss cheese round out the taste, making a not-so-enjoyable combination on the tongue. The body is a light medium, with a light carbonation and a rather dry finish. Overall, I thought this the weakest of the series, the brett not really in synch with the base beer as much as some of the other strains.

On tap at Max's today.
The beer pours slightly hazy, honey amber color (I should add that all of these yeast ales from Mikkeller look pretty much the same), with good decent head retention and lots of sticky lacing. The nose is about what you'd expect, with the beer showing considerable sour funk, orange and cherry. On the palate, there's really a lot going on in this beer. The sour funk and fruit are all there, but with some pepper, a hint of ginger and some hoppy bitterness in the finish. The sweet fruit plays very well with the sour funk, adding to the beer's complexity. Mouthfeel is medium bodied in this nicely carbonnated beer, and I'm impressed by the amount of flavor it delivers. Drinkability is quite good, with the alochol well disguised and nicely integrated into the flavor profile.
Not bad at all. Very nive effort from Mikkeler.

Snow days are the perfect days to tick.
A- Good work on the body and presentation of this one. Easy to form creamy head, off white in color, with thin layers of lacing developed. Retention a bit better than average, leaves me with a thick fluff for collar and central pillar. Tons of carbonation above this caramel apple sauce body.
S- There is an interesting spice to this beer. Some bubblegum hints, a nice fruit background that is citrusy, and some minor funk, and floral hops. The funk is relatively minor and nothing unique. Not a horse blanket or barnyard funk... more of a compost heap fermentation funk. Little bit of hop to it as well on the end. Bitterness.
T- Opens sweet, belgian candied sugars, some caramels, and grapefruit hits. Bubblegum does burst right before the citrus zest middle with the funk coming out here. Fades to a very hopped finish. The bitterness and crisp character lingers in the centre of my tongue giving me a dry feeling.
M- Mild bodied, creamy, crisp, zesty, clingy, resinous. It has some strong lingering potential. Very heavy in that respect. The alcohol never comes out for being an 8% pale.
D- The brett really isn't on display. It should be stronger, more apparent. This just places it in the middle and tells you to experience a minor thing that Brett can do. Very dissappointing. The fruit characteristics overwhelm the funk, but they also incorporate it and make it their own. Its a nice rendition, but not a better rendition than what could have been. Glad to tick it, never again will I buy it.

A: Poured from a bottle to a tulip glass. Had a bright orange color and a cloudy consistency. There was a big, foamy, long-lasting head. Very good lacing.
S: A nice sweet, fruity smell, with a touch of hops and yeast.
T: Tasted pretty much like it smelled. Hops, a mild yeast flavor, fruits, and a funky/musty quality. Slightly odd in character, but complex and tasty.
M: A highly carbonated beer with a dry, smooth finish. Medium-bodied.
D: A dynamic, focused, drinkable beer.

3.65/5 rDev -7.8%
On tap at Max's yesterday. Tried them all side-by-side
Orange/light amber with decent clarity, there's a dense, off-white head with decent retention, it falls off to a ring as it warms up. As for the nose - finally, one of the beers in this series smells like it should. A blend of clove and bandaid Brett character, these components blend really well with the citrus hops. The Brett has chewed through the sweetness, though some caramel character is present. Mildly tropical fruit-like too, I quite like this. The palate opens with a blend of Bretty compounds - clove, bandaid, pineapple, all of which work well with the citrus. Sweetness is moderate, there's some caramel, but thankfully, not too much. Decent finish with a blend of sweetness and Brett, this is mildly drying too. Medium-light in body with a solid finish, this is actually quite drinkable!
In summary, I found this Yeast Series to be very disappointing. The beers were too hoppy, too sweet, and too high in alcohol (which hindered drinability) to be educational.

First and only yeast series i have had so far. Poured up a nice golden color with a nice white head. Smelled like fermented horse piss and dirt. Tasted funky and semi sour with some grape tones being thrown around as well. I enjoyed this beer but its definitely an acquired taste.

A: slightly cloudy dark amber with lots of carbonation, with the head slow to dissipate. Poured into a tulip.
S: very bright with some funk but i really get alot of citrus along with sour raspberries.
T: very nice, some light barnyard and wet earth, but i really enjoy the apple/raspberry notes, followed by some oxidized sherry.
M: My favorite part - high level of carbonation seems to wash away thr funk and play up the fruit alot more. It seems like a funky sparkling cider to some extent and the 8.0abv is well hidden.
D: easily could do two of these and be happy for the evening.

A - Poured a slightly cloudy, copper color with a small, white head of fluffy foam. It slowly receded to leave soapy trails of residue on the glass.
S - Great phenolic aroma with funky barnyard aroma.
T - Great sour fruit flavor with a good deal of funky bite. Some underlying maltiness adds a little balance along with some hop spice.
M - It has a bit of puckering mouthfeel with all of the tart and sourness. A medium bodied beer.
D - This is the best of the yeast series - a really tasty wild ale.

11.2oz bottle into Delirium Tremens glass.
A: Pours a dark blood-orange amber with an oily thick tan head that took forever to reduced into a very thick film that left patches of sticky lace. Very good head retention.
S: Light notes of hay and fruit. Smells wonderful! There is a slight tartness to the scent with notes of unripened raspberries, green apples, ripe melon, blueberries, bubblegum and plastic (band aid).
T: Lightly tart and fruity flavors. Tastes almost like a tart Belgian pale ale with light herbal and spicy hop flavors. Loads of berries, cotton candy and bubblegum with a subtle malt undertone. Aftertaste has some sour funk and a light bitterness.
M: Medium bodied with a smooth "wet" mouthfeel and creamy soft carbonation. Dry finish.
D: Not outstanding but a really drinkable and fairly delicious beer. Great smell. Worth a try.

Subject: [TMG] What happened to Descendancy Narrative?
Date: Sat, 09 Nov 2002 10:15:53 -0500
In 4.0d my favorite report was the full "Descendancy Narrative", consisting of the "Individual Narrative" reports for the focus person and all his/her descendants. I don't see this report in 5.04, and it is not one of the greyed-out items on the menu (although it is actually mentioned in the help screen for the Indiv Narrative report dialog!). There is the "Indented Descendant" report, but this is definitely a different format from what I was looking for. In 4.0d this type of report was actually an option on the individual narrative report, where you could check a box for "all descendants of this person".
Will the full Descendancy Narrative (or Ancestor Narrative for that matter) eventually be part of 5.0x?

Finis Exoptatus
Boot and saddle, see, the slanting
Rays begin to fall,
Flinging lights and colours flaunting
Through the shadows tall.
Onward ! onward ! must we travel ?
When will come the goal ?
Riddle I may not unravel,
Cease to vex my soul.
Harshly break those peals of laughter
From the jays aloft,
Can we guess what they cry after ?
We have heard them oft ;
Perhaps some strain of rude thanksgiving
Mingles in their song,
Are they glad that they are living ?
Are they right or wrong ?
Right, 'tis joy that makes them call so,
Why should they be sad ?
Certes ! we are living also,
Shall not we be glad ?
Onward ! onward ! must we travel ?
Is the goal more near ?
Riddle we may not unravel,
Why so dark and drear ?
Yon small bird his hymn outpouring,
On the branch close by,
Recks not for the kestrel soaring
In the nether sky,
Though the hawk with wings extended
Poises over head,
Motionless as though suspended
By a viewless thread.
See, he stoops, nay, shooting forward
With the arrow's flight,
Swift and straight away to nor'ward
Sails he out of sight.
Onward ! onward ! thus we travel,
Comes the goal more nigh ?
Riddle we may not unravel,
Who shall make reply ?
Ha ! Friend Ephraim, saint or sinner,
Tell me if you can—
Tho' we may not judge the inner
By the outer man,
Yet by girth of broadcloth ample,
And by cheeks that shine,
Surely you set no example
In the fasting line—
Could you, like yon bird, discov'ring,
Fate as close at hand,
As the kestrel o'er him hov'ring,
Still, as he did, stand ?
Trusting grandly, singing gaily,
Confident and calm,
Not one false note in your daily
Hymn or weekly psalm ?
Oft your oily tones are heard in
Chapel, where you preach,
This the everlasting burden
Of the tale you teach :
We are d———d, our sins are deadly,
You alone are heal'd—
'Twas not thus their gospel redly
Saints and martyrs seal'd.
You had seem'd more like a martyr,
Than you seem to us,
To the beasts that caught a Tartar,
Once at Ephesus !
Rather than the stout apostle
Of the Gentiles, who,
Pagan-like, could cuff and wrestle,
They'd have chosen you.
Yet, I ween, on such occasion,
Your dissenting voice
Would have been, in mild persuasion,
Raised against their choice ;
Man of peace, and man of merit,
Pompous, wise, and grave,
Ephraim ! is it flesh or spirit
You strive most to save ?
Vain is half this care and caution
O'er the earthly shell,
We can neither baffle nor shun
Dark-plumed Azrael.
Onward ! onward ! still we wander,
Nearer draws the goal ;
Half the riddle's read, we ponder
Vainly on the whole.
Eastward ! in the pink horizon,
Fleecy hillocks shame
This dim range dull earth that lies on,
Tinged with rosy flame.
Westward ! as a stricken giant
Stoops his bloody crest,
And tho' vanquished, frowns defiant,
Sinks the sun to rest.
Distant, yet approaching quickly,
From the shades that lurk,
Like a black pall gathers thickly,
Night, when none may work.
Soon our restless occupation
Shall have ceas'd to be ;
Units ! in God's vast creation,
Ciphers ! what are we ?
Onward ! onward ! oh ! faint-hearted ;
Nearer and more near
Has the goal drawn since we started,
Be of better cheer.
Preacher ! all forbearance ask, for
All are worthless found,
Man must ay take man to task for
Faults while earth goes round.
On this dank soil thistles muster,
Thorns are broadcast sown ;
Seek not figs where thistles cluster,
Grapes where thorns have grown.
Sun and rain and dew from heaven,
Light and shade and air,
Heat and moisture freely given,
Thorns and thistles share.
Vegetation rank and rotten
Feels the cheering ray ;
Not uncared for, unforgotten,
We, too, have our day.
Unforgotten ! though we cumber
Earth, we work His will.
Shall we sleep through night's long slumber
Unforgotten still ?
Onward ! onward ! toiling ever,
Weary steps and slow,
Doubting oft, despairing never,
To the goal we go !
Hark ! the bells on distant cattle
Waft across the range,
Through the golden-tufted wattle,
Music low and strange ;
Like the marriage peal of fairies
Comes the tinkling sound,
Or like chimes of sweet St. Mary's
On far English ground.
How my courser champs the snaffle,
And with nostril spread,
Snorts and scarcely seems to ruffle
Fern leaves with his tread ;
Cool and pleasant on his haunches
Blows the evening breeze,
Through the overhanging branches
Of the wattle trees :
Onward ! to the Southern Ocean,
Glides the breath of Spring.
Onward, with a dreary motion,
I, too, glide and sing—
Forward ! forward ! still we wander—
Tinted hills that lie
In the red horizon yonder—
Is the goal so nigh ?
Whisper, spring-wind, softly singing,
Whisper in my ear ;
Respite and nepenthe bringing,
Can the goal be near ?
Laden with the dew of vespers,
From the fragrant sky,
In my ear the wind that whispers
Seems to make reply—
'Question not, but live and labour
Till yon goal be won,
Helping every feeble neighbour,
Seeking help from none ;
Life is mostly froth and bubble,
Two things stand like stone :
Kindness in another's trouble.
Courage in your own.'
Courage, comrades, this is certain,
All is for the best—
There are lights behind the curtain—
Gentiles let us rest.
As the smoke-rack veers to seaward
From 'the ancient clay',
With its moral drifting leeward,
Ends the wanderer's lay.

I love my job but not enough to live it and breath it 24 / 7. Cut us some slack! We can't all make enough on these prices to hire employees ya know….
That's exactly the sort of situation we'd love to avoid for both buyers AND authors
We've got a nice big pile of authors, so I'll disable the form for now. Thanks everyone for your interest, we'll be in touch with some of you soon.
visualkicks said
In fact I'm on vacation right now in Japan. I think I'm with a lot of the other authors on this one. No one needs to know this but me and the customers (whom I tell) who have questions I can't answer because 1) I don't have the right tools for question or 2) I have limited internet access etc etc.
I'll make sure I discuss this perspective with the authors in the beta, and if you're available, I'd love to have a quick chat on Skype with you. It sounds like you already have a process that works for you, but it'd be great to learn if/how we can help.
visualkicks said
What are the limitations on vacation time?
We haven't implemented any limitations. The focus is on providing tools to authors that help them proactively inform and set expectations with their buyers.
VF said
@justinfrench, you are saying as if this is optional but when the Support becomes mandatory for 6 months and 72 hours restriction put on response time, anyone going for vacation can't avoid using this tool/info right?
doru said
The answer from the authors is that we don't want the "72 hours" option to be forced upon us. Why do you want to test this vacation time? What is the point? Why going against the community?
theAlThemist said
We asked for this feature two years ago. You are now bundling it with something we DO NOT AGREE!.
Some aspects of the Item Support announcement are plans for December 1 and beyond, and many of them will go through a lot of refinement. The '72 hours' in particular was a starting suggestion, and there's clearly lots of feedback we need to take into consideration.
Other aspects of Item Support, like vacations, are related, but we'd like to see them launched much sooner, letting their usage, uptake and impact influence the rest of our decisions.
Bedros said
Hi friends, I was already apologized ; there was no need to do that ; we can handle our vacations ourselves, it's not something vital and only a work of adding a simple notification to our items' pages. Simple. But what I was mentioning was vital for us, for fellow authors, as you already know.
Please let us know about it.
Kind Regards,
No problem, I think we'll see those links back early next week, maybe sooner.
doru said
Do I get paid vacation? Why do I need to tell you this information?
You don't need to tell us, but many authors want to communicate this information to their buyers near the comment form and other places where buyers look for support.
dtbaker said
Thanks Justin! will sign up asap.. however:This form can only be viewed by users in the owner's organization.
Oh fail! I've fixed that now, thanks for letting me know
Hi folks!
As Collis recently mentioned…
We're also working on features for authors to let their buyers know when they're away on leave or taking a vacation.
Yes indeed we are I'm looking for a handful of authors to help us test and refine this feature before we make it more widely available. We're looking for a balance of authors from both CC and TF, with different sized teams, from solo authors all the way to bigger teams with many support staff.
We've got more than enough authors for the beta for now, thanks everyone!
refaktor said
I am a lone wolf, like many authors here. Say I want to take a longer vacation where I have no Internet access, or suppose I get seriously ill and am in the hospital. Things happen where people are unable to work, either by choice or by circumstance, and we should not be punished for that. I very rarely let a support issue go unanswered 24 hours during business days (Monday – Friday), let alone 48 or 72 hours, but I should not have to worry about the consequences if I am unable to provide support within a certain timeframe. These proposed changes severely limit the freedom that both buyers and sellers have come to enjoy.
We completely agree, and this is a huge part of making support sustainable for authors and clearer for buyers. As mentioned in Collis' post, we are working on a system for vacations, illnesses, etc.
We also recently released the author teams feature, which makes it possible for authors to share their support work out to other users (though we understand that some authors may not ever want to do this), and finally, we want to set an expectation with buyers that it can take a few days (rather than a few hours) to get a response due to time zones, weekends and other issues.

FinalDestiny said
Guys, you don't get it. Less support after 6 months? Haha, nice joke. Let me see one of you saying to a customer "Hello, unfortunately we can't offer any support since you purchased the theme more than 6 months ago" and getting a 1 star right after that.
Dangit that's a really valid point… Sorry if I missed a reply to that, it's hard to follow this thread, but maybe you should disable ratings after six months too then.
When I heard about this whole change I thought it was pretty legit, but after reading so many valid and well-thought responses against it I can see the vicious circle this could start.This thread shows once more how valuable this community is when it comes to decision making!
Absolutely, and while we haven't made a final decision, limiting the period that you can rate an item was on our list of changes, and it seems very fair to me.

WWE RAW and SmackDown branded house shows will end on May 26th.
Starting on May 31st, WWE house shows will now be advertised as "WWE Live" events. WWE is making the change due to the fact that the SmackDown shows had a stigma of being second tier events. The hope is that the newly branded "WWE Live" shows will be more appealing for fans.

Didn't expect much when I received this brush, wow, was I surprised! My makeup looks professional! No comparison to any stipple brush or sponge I've ever used. I also ordered the 776 crease brush which is the best for my hooded eyes. I don't think I will purchase other brands anymore. Please click yes if you found my review helpful.

the joys of land travel in asia
If you haven't yet had the rare pleasure of traveling internationally via bus, you've missed out. This should get you up to speed on the do's and don'ts.
- No shoes on the bus. I'm into this from the very start; I absolutely love being barefoot. In the summer. It's about 10°C and the driver seems intent on maintaining air circulation by keeping the air-con at a constant hum. I rapidly lose interest. Through an unfortunate series of events revolving around a much-needed bathroom stop (which actually just means that I finally convinced the driver to pull over to the side of a dirt road in rural Vietnam), I wind up losing my only shoes by falling hip-dip into a mud hole. The worst part is that Aristo manages to dig them out of the mud but we aren't even allowed to bring them on the bus because the driver is so hell-bent on cleanliness. Well, no, the worst part is that they have to hose me off with icewater before I'm allowed back on the bus. I'm pretty sure my toes froze together.
- Bring your own blanket and bring some socks, because you may die of hypothermia. That's no way to go.
- No eating on the bus. Never mind the fact that it's a 24-hour bus ride, there is no eating allowed. It's like being twelve all over again. But no matter—it's secretly thrilling. The drivers usually have some kind of assistant that patrols the bus and yells at people for any number of things, but it's a simple matter of shoving the evidence up your sleeve when he walks by and feigning confusion at his rapid gestures when he inevitably catches you with lettuce on your face.
- Don't ever expect anything to be on time. When the woman at the bus depot tells you that you'll arrive in 18 hours, that's actually code for 26 hours. Not that a backpacker really ever has any pressing social engagements, but still. Don't expect to arrive in a timely fashion.
- Consider booking a room in the arrival city before hand. It will invariably be a holiday weekend (no matter how strongly you believe yourself to have circumvented Chinese New Year or Tet traffic, something will be happening and you will be homeless). Even though this goes against everything I believe in as a backpacker, do yourself a favour and book a room. Or you will legitimately wander around the city for 4 hours with all your stuff in search of cheap accommodation that does not exist. After a day and a half on a bus and, for some, a tragic spill into a mud field, a shower is like gold and you will thank yourself for splurging and paying $15/night to get a room with actual hot water.
- Book the bus ticket from your hotel. You may think you are super clever when you decide to rent a bike and ride 15k on a dirt road to the bus station to buy the ticket directly, but you may feel slightly less clever when you discover that the difference in price is less than $1 and you have paid more than that to rent bicycles. Suck it up, pay the hotel, save yourself the shame. Plus, they will take you to the station in a little shuttle with everyone else and save you from paying for a tuk tuk.
- Then again, don't book from the first hotel or agency you run across. The government-associated tourist centre may seem reliable. It is not. They will charge you $80 for what you later discover to be a $25 ticket. You win some, you lose some. But don't lose some to the Thai government. It feels so predictable.
- Don't sit by Germans. They are constantly screaming at each other. They could just be talking loudly, but I swear there is something sinister about it. But either way, it's not conducive to sleep and if you are lucky enough to fall asleep between bumps on the road and having your head bashed into the window, you do not want to be blaming some six-foot blonde woman with a bowl cut for waking you up. She will have no qualms about redirecting the screaming to you if you even so much as think the word "quiet".
- Border crossings are not as big of a drama as everyone likes to think. As long as you aren't trying to illegally immigrate to Laos, no one is going to hassle you. But they like to make you wait (shocker), so don't think that hurriedly stumbling half-dressed out of the bus and powerwalking the 3k across the border barefoot is saving you any trouble (you have to cross on foot, who knows why). Then again, if you've lost your shoes there simply isn't anything to be done but to borrow two left foot clogs from the driver and stumble across dirt mounds in shoes 5 sizes too large.
- As far as I can tell, there is no VIP bus. It does not exist. The promise of a bed and toilet for a 24-hour journey is thrilling and it's easy to get suckered into paying the extra $5 or whatever for comfortable sleeping and bladder relief. The VIP bus will not be working. You will be sleeping in the same lounge seats as the normal bus, paying 50% more, and urinating in mud holes on the side of the road. Sometimes, you will be put in the only seats on the entire bus that don't actually recline and you will sleep upright all night. Other times, you will be sitting on the floor because they overbooked the bus and life is a bitch. Aristo once sat in a plastic yard chair. He did not enjoy it, but then again I was on the floor and took several kicks to the face from sleeping passengers so it's impossible to pick a clear loser.
All that being said, who comes to SE Asia to enjoy luxury? If you want to avoid drama, book a fucking flight. Otherwise, enjoy all the nonsense and get your money's worth later by telling these stories to everyone you meet. Bus stories are like war stories to other travelers and I fell into a sink hole at 3am, so who is the real winner here.

700 Santas Can't Be Wrong
The 12th annual Santa Cycle Rampage sets a new record for attendance.
It's official, Milwaukee's 12th annual Santa Cycle Rampage is in the books, with the biggest turnout yet. I wasn't sure what to expect when a handful of west side Santas and I rolled down to Cafe Hollander on Downer Saturday morning. But despite the rain and temperatures in the forties, there was a pretty decent crowd by the time we headed off to rendezvous with the rest of the merry makers at Lakefront Brewery. Our generous hosts at Lakefront handed out more than 500 chips and cups for free beer.
Given there were quite a few Santas who didn't take chips, we estimate that 600 to 700 Santas, elves, reindeer, presents, and dreidels braved the unseasonally nasty weather. The out-of-state contingent seems to be growing too. I met people who came in from Iowa, Illinois, and Minnesota. Because the crowds seem to be growing, next year's Rampage my have to be organized differently. There just aren't any places that can handle 1,000 Santas. Never fear though, through the magic of Christmas, Santa's helpers will put together another fun ride next year. Stay tuned here and to the Rampage Facebook for more details, but save Saturday, Dec. 14th as the date for the 2013 Santa Cycle Rampage.
This year there was also a lot of discussion among the Santas about making the event a fundraiser for the new Milwaukee Chapter of the Wisconsin Bike Fed. In the past the ride has always been just a fun pub crawl to help introduce people to the idea that it's actually possible to bike through the winter in Milwaukee. This year someone whispered in Santa's ear that if we reserved Turner Hall or some similar location early enough and booked some bands, the event could help support local cycling in addition to helping a few tavern and cafe owners make some money. As long as making money doesn't get in the way of making merry, this Santa has no objections.
If you skipped this year's ride, you can get a feel for what you missed by looking through the Bike Fed's Santa Rampage Flickr set here.
You might also start a Santa Rampage in your community. No matter what, you really owe it to yourself to come ride with us next year; it is just about the most fun you can have on a bike. Hey, 700 Santas can't be wrong!

Historic Dockyard
Historic Dockyard Review
The buildings and 47 retired ships at the 80-acre dockyard across the River Medway from Rochester constitute the country's most complete Georgian-to-early-Victorian dockyard. Fans of maritime history could easily spend a day at the exhibits and structures. The dockyard's origins go back to the time of Henry VIII; some 400 ships were built here over the centuries. There's a guided tour of the submarine HMS Ocelot, the last warship to be built for the Royal Navy at Chatham. Save your ticket, as it's good for a year.
