Described by the brewery as:
A full bodied oatmeal stout brewed with a blend of maris otter, roast, crystal and chocolate malts with wheat and oatmeal. The flavours are enhanced by the addition of Galena and Bramling cross hops to produce a rich and creamy ale with a strong bitter finish with blackcurrant and coffee flavours."Silver medal winner at the SIBA Northern region beer competition 2011"
A: near opaque, deep dark color, with slight reddish hues, nice head
S: mild to medium, full roasted with deep malt
T: very nice for ABV, roasted malt, dreamy, hazelnut
M: very good

3.81/5 rDev -5.9%
Black that goes ruby in light with pitted sepia froth.
Char, baker's chocolate, and, yes, fresh oatmeal cookies on the nose.
Espresso, bilberry, and ash with a tannic hit and blackberry, tea and wood hops.
Coffee hard candy finish and bitter linger.
Medium, soft, oily, chewy.
Not as smooth as you'd expect. Also has more burnt roast than usual. These plus big IBUs and tart berry notes make this pretty astringent for an oatmeal stout.

The 2013 ISIC Event took place in Copenhagen, Denmark from 20 – 22 May 2013.
The 2013 ISIC Event provided an exciting and informative three day programme. There were a range of speakers and presenters over the three days, interactive sessions, extensive networking possibilities, and bilateral meetings and a trade market to discuss both global and local opportunities.
Celebrating 60 years of ISIC!
The 2013 ISIC Event was even more memorable than previous ISIC Event's as it marks the 60th Anniversary of the ISIC card, a major milestone in student history! At the Third International Student Conference in 1953, the decision was taken by the students unions from Norway, the Netherlands and Denmark to: "take the necessary steps to ensure that an International Student Identity Card be available as soon as possible in as large a part of the world as possible". The third and final day of the 2013 ISIC Event will be dedicated to the official 60th Anniversary celebrations.
The 2013 ISIC Event brought together the entire global ISIC distribution network to promote cohesion, share knowledge and best practice, develop business opportunities, but above all provide a platform to discuss innovations around the ISIC card for the benefit of all students.

How much does the Federal Taxes take out of your paycheck?
No, the answer isn't subtact the net from the gross off your paycheck and take that amount and divide it from your taxable wages.
I would like to know whats the actuall number the IRS uses to take tax money and make deductions from your paycheck. For example I had one pay check that had FED INC TAX percentage deduction of taxable wages was 9.14% and another check that was only $76.00 more and that FED INC TAX percentage deduction came out to 9.50%. So obviously if you make more, the amount they take out will increase, thus theres a common number they use to make deductions based on your taxable wages.....and thats the number I would like to know. Thank you.

There are many criteria for calculating how much tax one pays, but mostly it depends on how much you make and the number of aloowances claimed. the more you earn, the more you pay back as tax, so it is better to claim all legitimate allowances as much as possible. making more money shoots you into the higher tax percentage rate.
That actual answer varies based on what you put on your W-4 and how often you are paid. The best answer given your lack of detail is the link below an IRS publication containing withholding tables.
There are so many factors involved in determining how much federal tax to withhold (#exemptions, annual salary, how much you contribute to 401k plan, etc.)
You can use the IRS withholding calculator to determine if you are withholding too much/too little.
John T
It's complicated. You have a number of exceptions you've claimed. Each one provides about $3,000 in tax relief.
You also are taxed at different rates depending on your income. So, there's the 10% bracket all the way up to 35% bracket. A higher income person will see a higher percentage deducted.
I'll bet that you have some sort of overtime or commision proceeds so that your paycheck varies. What you'll find is that the more you're paid per period, the greater that tax liability, since you are earning higher.
For example, if you made $25,000 a year, you'd be in the 15% bracket. But if you had a massive profit sharing for one week or something, your annualized rate might push you into the 25% bracket for that period, so you'd have higher taxes that week.
Increase your IRA or 401(k) deductions to cut your taxes. If you typically get a large refund, file a new W-4 to decrease withholding and get a bigger paycheck.
Go online and search for payroll calculators or take-home calculators. You can run the numbers there.

Hostage Judith Tebbutt from Hertfordshire released in Africa
Judith Tebbutt from Bishop's Stortford in Hertfordshire has been freed by her captors, seven months after she was kidnapped from a beach in Kenya.
During the raid her husband David was killed.
She was taken in September last year while staying at the Kiwayu Safari Village near the Kenya Somali border.
Click here for the full story and the ITV News exclusive first television interview
"I'm very relieved to have been released. Seven months is a long time and under the circumstances, with my husband passing away, made it harder.
I'm looking forward to seeing my son who successfully secured my release, I don't know how he did it, but he did."
It is understood that her family paid a ransom for her release and it is believed that she is on her way to Nairobi in Kenya.

Brooklyn artist KAWS — who redesigned MTV's iconic moonman statues for this year's Video Music Awards — celebrated two new gallery shows on Saturday.
The artist launched a new exhibition of sculptures at Mary Boone Gallery in Chelsea, and another exhibit showing new paintings at Galerie Perrotin on the Upper East Side. At an after-party at the Carlyle, guests included Pharrell Williams in an old-school gray fedora with his new wife, Helen Lasichanh, pop diva Alicia Keys and her producer and artist hubby Swizz Beatz, businessman and art collector Jean Pigozzi, the Strokes' Fabrizio Moretti, Glenn O'Brien, Nicole Miller, Ann and Annabelle Dexter-Jones, and artists Will Cotton, Richard Dupont and Max Snow.
Busy KAWS also has shows running at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas. Williams and Beatz have been Perrotin boosters since the Parisian gallery recently expanded to Madison Avenue.

iMac + Fusion Drive?
Recently, I bought my first Mac (a 2013 MacBook Air) and fell in love with OSX. For mobile I'm definitely an Android person, but for computer hardware and a desktop OS I'll definitely be sticking with Apple. My husband and I are planning on getting the 27" base model iMac for our house. From those of you who bought one (or anyone with an opinion, really) would you recommend paying the extra $250 and getting the Fusion Drive? Obviously I'm used to the SSD in the Air, and I think for a long-term computing solution it's probably worth paying the extra cash. Any thoughts? Any other upgrades you'd consider absolutely necessary?

So much so, that as I play GM, I am starting to talk myself into drafting Fisher at #8 for LT and sliding Cordy Glenn over to LG which could make for an absolute beast of a line -- assuming we get RT settled. Glenn by all reports was a road grader as a run blocker at guard and he would certainly be fine in pass protect. I know we need more defensive pressure, but this idea has, as Keith Jackson would say, become a "burr under my saddle" lately. What say you fellow Rumblers?

Review about Santa Claus (I still Believe in You)
------Performed by Alabama | 12/08/2006 10:00:00 AM
"There's still a kid inside of me that still believes you're true"
1 out of 1 Found the view helpful
This is one of the finest Christmas songs ever written. The sentiment expressed is so perfect. Adults get tired of all the schlock associated with Christmas, but when you see a four-year-old meet Santa again for the first time it's magic!
I love the way the lyric speaks to both life-weary adults and children at the same time. "...I know I've seen you. In sparking little eyes under the tree..." Children remind us to look for the joy in life. If we only believe we can share that joy for just a little while.
"Oh Santa Claus, the kids are tucked in tight
The hour has arrived
It's time to play ol' Santa Clause tonight"
I have listened to this album many Christmas Eves as I waited for the kids to fall asleep so that Santa could come. This song catches that feeling of love that comes from being able to provide a bit of Christmas magic for a child. Oh the anticipation as we prepare for Santa's arrival.
This song is a treasure of children's simple faith and joy. There are many who can not abide the myth of Santa. But in the eyes of childhood, may he live a thousand years!
"Oh Santa Claus, -- I still believe in you."
Thanks to Martin Christensen for submitting the review.

Mighty Oaks hit high fives
Oakwood A
|5 - 1
Maccabi London Lions White
|Anthony Kintish
Ric Blank reflected on a job well done as Oakwood made it two out of two after blowing the Lions away at Brunel
Oakwood were clinical against Lions in a game that was over by half time. Three first half goals from Toby Levy, Anthony Kintish and an absolute beauty from Alex Koslover put them in the box-seat.
Koslover's scored the goal of the game, hitting one on the half volley from 20+ yards. He caught it beautifully having waited the extra split second for the ball to drop. It flew into the far top corner. "Goal of the week definitely," according to Blank.
Oakwood had earlier "got away with one" as Ilan Scorah seemed to clip James Gershfield's heels as he went clean through, but the ref didn't give it. The official also let "an incredibly reckless challenge" on Sam Jacobson go in an effort "to keep it 11 versus 11".
Blank told JC Sport: "In the first half we looked like scoring every time we went forward as our front four ripped Lions to shreds. You never know what side Lions will have out on any given Sunday and we know they've had a tough time over the past 12 months. We had heard they'd be all kids and while they had some young players they still had a very experienced back four and centre mids with James Gershfield up top.
"They don't have as many young players in key positions as Brady say, or even the Lions team that thumped us 8-1 last season. So we're delighted with the win.
"Second half we took our foot off the gas and couldn't get any rhythm going. We scored with possibly our first shot of the half when Sam took aim and buried it in the bottom corner from 25 yards. We conceded a sloppy consolation before Kossy got his second, cooly slotting home with five to go.
"The ref then proceeded to play eight minutes injury time which, added to the fact he was 25 minutes late for kick off, meant by the time we got back from Brunel Spurs were already 3-0 down.

Natalie's Review
Mitchelton Shiraz 2004, Victoria, Australia: Vintages Wine Panel: Deep purple in color, this wine displays concentrated aromas of cocoa, ripe blackberry, cassis and toast. It's dry, full-bodied with a good depth of ripe black fruit flavors as well as notes of cocoa, mint and spice. It has ample tannin and acidity providing structure and a very long finish. My Note: Good solid wine with round richness. Aromas of chocolate and dark fruit. Drink: 2007-2010. 25379 14% XD 750 mL $23.95 Score: 89/100. May 26, 2007 Full Review

Who are you?
It's likely that your answer to that question will include things like your name, and your age, and your physical attributes, and your likes and dislikes. That's an easy one. Now, here's a harder one.
What are you?
"Well," you might say, "I am a human being. I am caucasian (or mongoloid, or negroid, as the case may be). I am American (or European, or African, or Asian, etc). I am a writer (or artist, or truck driver, or teacher, etc.)." And so on. Also easy. Or so it seems.
The difference between the "who" and the "what" question is one of reach. Because while you can define WHO you are all by yourself, it's nearly impossible to explain WHAT you are without referencing other people. Race, nationality, religion, profession... all invite comparison to those that differ from you. When you say "I am 26 years old," it's obvious how that makes you different from, say, someone who is 27 years old. But when you say "I am a Canadian chicken plucker," well, that doesn't tell me anything about non-Canadian chicken pluckers. And in fact, unless I know about Canadian chicken plucking, it tells me squat about you too.
In real life, we have plenty of opportunity to explain "what" we are to others, through experience and example, through conversation and companionship. But when it comes to role-playing games, we tend to swallow notions of "Race" and "Class" without a second thought as to how those things really relate to the concept of character.
Character races and classes in all role-playing games can be grouped into the larger category of "archetypes" -- original models or types after which other similar things are patterned. Which is to say, basically, that they are examples of "what" characters should be, leaving you, the player, to fill in the "who" blanks between the "what" lines.
But take a deeper look at those lines, and you inevitably start to ask yourself some questions: Why do elves have pointy ears? How can they work with Santa at the North Pole AND wield a bow-and-arrow with deadly efficiency at the same time? What's with clerics and blunt weapons? And what's with that whole "turning undead" thing? Why can dwarves see in the dark, and how come they sink in water? Why can't wizards wear armor, and why can Gandalf carry a sword? Why are orcs always so mean and nasty? What the heck does "orc" mean, anyway? Since when is thievery a recognized profession? Did people actually ever creep around in dank cellars listening at doors and disabling traps? And so on and so forth.
Sure, all these questions and more can be brushed aside with a casual wave of the hand, a haughty "Harumph" and the declaration that it's "just a game." This is particularly likely if you try to ask these questions of your Game Master before a heavy night of role-playing. But for those of you for whom that isn't good enough, there's a whole history buried beneath those two dozen races and classes that consistently crop up in every role-playing game and fantasy novel on the market. And it's about time someone dug 'em up and dusted 'em off.
If archaeology is a study of the remnants of ancient cultures, archetypology is a study of the remnants of ancient archetypes, the leftover bits of information that got tossed in the role-playing stew that we all eat on a daily basis.
And if you're anything like me, you'll want to know exactly what it is you've been eating all these years.
In some cases, the origins of our role-playing archetypes seem obvious: the noble paladin must have come from the crusader who fought his way to the gates of Jerusalem, cross on shield, prayer upon lips, and the deadly assassin must have come from the dark-cloaked rogue who crept through silent medieval streets at the bidding of his Lord. But did you know that those noble crusaders were known for acts of cannibalism? Did you know that the assassin originally got his name from a sect of religious zealots who were drugged up on hashish?
Probably not. The books leave all the good stuff out, don't they?
Over the coming months, I'll introduce you to ten different racial and class archetypes, names you're undoubtedly familiar with, with stories and histories that you probably didn't know about. Names that have appeared in fantasy fiction, film and role-playing games for decades, with nary a thought given to why we call them that, or why any of them are important enough to keep bringing up time and again.
We'll explore everything from why adventurers are always creeping around in dungeons (early 20th Century fantasy writers were undoubtedly influenced by the prominent Egyptologists of their era, busy exploring mystical Egyptian tombs and pyramids) to exactly why everyone is so intent on killing those poor winged lizards (the dragon was a symbol of Satan in heavily Christian medieval Europe, and for the Church-sponsored knights and crusaders, battling that dragon was much more figurative than literal). We'll take a look at what life was really like "way back then", and exactly how and why that all influenced the archetypes we've come to accept as gospel. And hopefully, we'll have a bit of fun at the same time.
In my first official installment of Archetypology: Fact, Fiction and Fallacies, we'll take a look at what is perhaps the most loved, hated, and misunderstood of all character classes. From the early days of pen-and-paper role-playing games, to the most modern MMORPGs, the class appears again and again, almost always with the same moniker. And yet nobody has ever bothered to ask what it's really all about.
Next month: the cleric.

The Mad Hatter Translation
Today, December 30, 2013, the LDS Church released the fourth Topic essay, on the Book of Mormon Translation.
Because I am very occupied with my children this holiday season, I'll keep my blog on it brief. I'll step through the claims.
Claim: "As a young man during the 1820s, Joseph Smith, like others in his day, used a seer stone to look for lost objects and buried treasure. As Joseph grew to understand his prophetic calling, he learned that he could use this stone for the higher purpose of translating scripture."
Sure. The seer stone is the 19th century "pet rock". As a young man, he had to have one. All the other guys had them and they all got dates, so Joseph Smith had to get him some seer stones action.
Now, my fellow editors at MormonThink ask this: Why would a common stone "discovered in the ground" have the same prophetic seering abilities as the spectacle urim & thummim which was ""kept and preserved by the hand of the Lord" and "handed down from generation to generation, for the purpose of interpreting languages"?
(To get a more complete view on the BOM translation process and the many problems not discussed in the LDS article, read MormonThink's section on Book of Mormon Translation.)
Claim: On Sept 21, 1823, Moroni appeared in his (upper) bedroom.
Joseph shared the room with his brothers, and they did not see Moroni appear. We believe that Joseph, a notorious wrestler, had put his brothers in the sleeper hold each night--a move he perfected and used as an early version of a "roofie" with women later on. (yes, yes, not funny)
Claim: "Joseph Smith did not call for punctuation, such as periods."
Apparently it was Smith's fear of periods that also led to polygamy. (Bada-dum!)
Claim: "Joseph could neither write nor dictate a coherent and well-worded letter, let alone dictate a book like the Book of Mormon."
We think that's actually partly true. He could speak well, but his writing sucked. It especially sucked when he wrote secret love letters to the wives of other men or his young child brides. This phrase, written to 17 year old Sara Ann Whitney comes to mind: "…the only thing to be careful of; is to find out when Emma comes then you cannot be safe, but when she is not here, there is the most perfect safty…"
Safty? Emma must have been one scary bich (sic in Joseph's letters). Anyway, see? Joseph did suck at writin' even if he got him some seer stones to attract young girls. And it's also true of the Book of Mormon. His writing was atrocious. The Book of Mormon underwent about 4,000 edits in the subsequent century. (The LDS Church has admitted to some of these edits here.)
Claim: "Joseph placed the seer stone in a hat, pressed his face into the hat to block out extraneous light, and read aloud the English words that appeared on the instrument."
Actually, we're pretty sure God made Reformed English appear from the Reformed Egytpian written on the plates. Because, if English words appeared, presumably from God, then why did the "most correct of any Book on earth" require about 4,000 corrections? Why did the extended biblical quotes (comprising about 6%) that allegedly came from a 600BC version of the old testament on brass plates and put in by Nephi have the translation errors King James scribes made in the 17th century? Oh wait, the King James scribes also used felt hats to translate the bible.
It has to be the felt hats. As hatters felted them, they used mercuric nitrate to treat the fur of small animals for the manufacture of felt hats. When Joseph put his head into his felt hat for prolonged hours every day for about three months, breathing residual mercury vapors, he grew as mad as a hatter. That's the origin of the Book of Mormon, with all of its 4,000 errors, its anachronistic phrases and events, misquotes of 17th century scribes and completely misguided assertions about the civilizations in ancient America.
It's the mad hatters translation.

You're so confused, David T. You expect a very uneducated man to act perfectly bringing forth a monumental work. Joseph Smith just did the best he could, which is better than you, as educated as you may be, can't do yourself.ReplyDeleteReplies
- AnonymousDecember 31, 2013 at 3:40 PM
Are you denying then that God adequately assisted JS in translating ? (Because if God was helping me write a book, I would hope he of all people would not worsen my ability to write, but better it...to perfection...as the book explains to be...the most perfect and correct book in the world...not to mention it has known Errors of the King James Bible in it. hahaha. Its kind of embarrassing to read...)Delete
- Megan D.December 31, 2013 at 8:13 PM
Interesting that the article at LDS.org fails to mention that he tried (unsuccessfully) to sell the copyright to the BOM. That's not the action of a man "translating" an "inspired" work of scripture.ReplyDeleteReplies
do you know the link to the article?Delete
- Megan D.January 1, 2014 at 6:39 PM
If you're asking about the LDS.org one, it's the one David referred and linked to in his first sentence. If you're asking about the copyright issue, there are various sites that talk bout it, but I'll link here to an article in Deseret News, the church-owned paper. http://www.deseretnews.com/article/705337036/Newly-found-revelation-of-Joseph-Smith.html?pg=allDelete
To the Anonymous poster who apparently is a believer, it is interesting that he judges David T as being, "confused." To me, an outsider, so to speak, and using my real name because I don't need to hide behind my convictions, it has been clear to me for a long time, after so many hours of study of history that this LDS thing is a product of old Joe's great and fantastic imagination.ReplyDelete
The one thing that's constantly overlooked is the obvious fact that a 600 page book in English could never be written on gold plates and moved freely from one location to another. The size of such a book would be impossible to heft.ReplyDelete
It's just one absurdity after another. Great article. I loved the background on the felt hats of the 19th century.

Afterward, the hair that's left behind will receive a loving blow-dry for a style that gleams and glitters like a ruby-encrusted bowling ball. During the treatment, stylists offer helpful tips and tricks to help clients care for hair at home. If a shampoo and cut isn't your cup of sports drink, put your Groupon toward the cost of another service, such as hair coloring ($55–$70), highlights ($75–$90), or a perm ($55–$70). Prices vary by location.

The strategy statement of a firm sets the firms long-term strategic direction and broad policy directions. It gives the firm a clear sense of direction and a blueprint for the firms activities for the upcoming years. The main constituents of a strategic statement are as follows:
Strategic intent includes directing organizations attention on the need of winning; inspiring people by telling them that the targets are valuable; encouraging individual and team participation as well as contribution; and utilizing intent to direct allocation of resources. Strategic intent differs from strategic fit in a way that while strategic fit deals with harmonizing available resources and potentials to the external environment, strategic intent emphasizes on building new resources and potentials so as to create and exploit future opportunities.
Mission statement is the statement of the role by which an organization intends to serve its stakeholders. It describes why an organization is operating and thus provides a framework within which strategies are formulated. It describes what the organization does (i.e., present capabilities), who all it serves (i.e., stakeholders) and what makes an organization unique (i.e., reason for existence). A mission statement differentiates an organization from others by explaining its broad scope of activities, its products, and technologies it uses to achieve its goals and objectives. It talks about an organizations present (i.e., about where we are). For instance, Microsofts mission is to help people and businesses throughout the world to realize their full potential. Wal-Marts mission is To give ordinary folk the chance to buy the same thing as rich people. Mission statements always exist at top level of an organization, but may also be made for various organizational levels. Chief executive plays a significant role in formulation of mission statement. Once the mission statement is formulated, it serves the organization in long run, but it may become ambiguous with organizational growth and innovations. In todays dynamic and competitive environment, mission may need to be redefined. However, care must be taken that the redefined mission statement should have original fundamentals/components. Mission statement has three main components-a statement of mission or vision of the company, a statement of the core values that shape the acts and behaviour of the employees, and a statement of the goals and objectives.
A vision statement identifies where the organization wants or intends to be in future or where it should be to best meet the needs of the stakeholders. It describes dreams and aspirations for future. For instance, Microsofts vision is to empower people through great software, any time, any place, or any device. Wal-Marts vision is to become worldwide leader in retailing. A vision is the potential to view things ahead of themselves. It answers the question where we want to be. It gives us a reminder about what we attempt to develop. A vision statement is for the organization and its members, unlike the mission statement which is for the customers/clients. It contributes in effective decision making as well as effective business planning. It incorporates a shared understanding about the nature and aim of the organization and utilizes this understanding to direct and guide the organization towards a better purpose. It describes that on achieving the mission, how the organizational future would appear to be.
An effective vision statement must have following features-
In order to realize the vision, it must be deeply instilled in the organization, being owned and shared by everyone involved in the organization.
A goal is a desired future state or objective that an organization tries to achieve. Goals specify in particular what must be done if an organization is to attain mission or vision. Goals make mission more prominent and concrete. They co-ordinate and integrate various functional and departmental areas in an organization. Well made goals have following features-
Objectives are defined as goals that organization wants to achieve over a period of time. These are the foundation of planning. Policies are developed in an organization so as to achieve these objectives. Formulation of objectives is the task of top level management. Effective objectives have following features-

Brian Robison
3-star M-LB, Class of 2002
Played for: Minnesota Vikings
Man-for-man, the Longhorns' 2002 recruiting class was the best class Mack Brown ever brought to Texas.
Ranked #1 in the nation by most news outlets, the class featured top-ranked heavyweights at every position. There was 5-star recruit Rodrique Wright, a monstrous defensive tackle out of the town of Alief who was given a perfect 5.0 rating by Rivals.com. Joining him in the defensive class was 5-star cornerback Edorian McCullough, a standout athlete with a blazing 4.3 second 40-yard dash. Along with fellow 5-star recruits Justin Blalock (offensive lineman) and Vince Young, they headlined a class that would lead the 'Horns to two Rose Bowl titles, a conference championship, and a crystal trophy.
Seemingly lost in the shuffle was Brian Robison, an All-State linebacker from Splendora High School. During his high school career, Robison played several sports, including basketball, baseball, and track & field. Rivals.com rated Robison as a 3-star middle linebacker, and OrangeBloods.com had this to say about the young footballer:
"Although Splendora, Texas linebacker Brian Robison isn't one of the more highly rated players in the Texas Longhorn 2002 recruiting class, that doesn't mean that he doesn't have high expectations for himself."
High expectations, indeed.
From the start, Brian Robison impressed his coaches and fellow players at the 40 Acres. After redshirting the 2002 season, Robison was able to play in all 13 games during the 2003 season. As a backup middle linebacker to 4-star recruit Aaron Harris, Robison racked up 38 combined and 22 solo tackes, as well as blocking four field goal kicks - a school record. However, Texas had found a potent linebacker duo in Harris and junior standout Derrick Johnson, leaving Robison on the outside looking in. Fighting for playing time behind two blue-chip recruits was always going to be difficult, and with the situation as it was, Robison's status as backup middle linebacker was seemingly set in stone.
However, fate had something else in store for Robison. One of the biggest pickups of the 2002 class was 5-star recruit Bryan Pickryl, a lanky defensive end from Oklahoma. An immensely talented player, Pickryl immediately took over the weak-side defensive end position as a true freshman, racking up 4.5 sacks in his first five games. However, Pickryl had suffered a series of shoulder injuries in high school, and in the second game of the 2003 season, cursed fate struck - Pickryl dislocated his left shoulder, suffering a posterior labrum tear. After two months of rehabilitation and a talk with Mack Brown, Pickryl decided to quit football for good.
Into the void, Robison was thrust. During the 2004 season, Brian started all 12 games at right defensive end. The movie brought immediate dividends for Robison, who racked up 48 combined and 27 solo tackles, on his way to earning an honorable mention on the Associated Press All Big-12 Conference team. And in his junior and senior seasons, Robison blossomed into one of Texas' most feared defenders. He was twice named First-team All-Big 12 Conference by the Austin-American Statesman, and recorded 13 total sacks over his last two years at Texas. Perhaps his biggest moment as a Longhorn occurred on the biggest stage possible - he tackled USC running back LenDale White on that infamous 4th-and-2 rush up the middle, allowing Texas QB Vince Young to lead the 'Horns to national title glory.
When all was said and done, Robison joined six fellow Longhorns in the 2007 NFL Draft. In the 4th round, he went to the Minnesota Vikings, and immediately started at the defensive end position - a position he still plays to this day. In his breakout 2011 season, he recorded a career-high 44 tackles, 8 sacks, and 3 forced fumbles, while lining up opposite fellow standout defensive end Jared Allen.
Not bad from a 3-star linebacker and track athlete out of Splendora, Texas.

Back in the preseason game against the Seahawks, guard Robert Gallery threw a "cut block" on DT Broderick Bunkley which gave Bunkley a minor knee injury and took him out of the game. Kevin Vickerson got into Gallery's face at the time and said the block was " uncalled for". Gallery.later said he would do it again as the hit was perfectly legal. Gallery was completely unapologetic about the hit. Later, Bunkley would not be critical of Gallery's hit. See the following article about the event.:
Well, Bunkley, apparently carried no ill will toward Mr. Gallery, although, if he had not seen Gallery moving to block him at the last moment, the injury could have been more serious.
So, some people say, "what goes around comes around" or in another way of putting it, bad Karma catches up. Yesterday, in the Steeler game, Robert Gallery, suffered a groin injury which will require surgery and he will miss four weeks or more of play. See story at:

iMac Prediction from January 5th, 2012 (no optical drive)
It's probably not all that cool to say this, but I will anyway...I totally called Apple getting rid of the optical drive in a forum post back on 1/5/12. I felt sure of that and that it would be thinner.
I was half way right on some stuff and very wrong on others.
I thought there would be flash - there sort of is with the fusion drive.
I thought we'd get a Retina display - as time got closer, it seemed more evident that wasn't likely.
Mostly, I was way off with how thin. I did a photoshop that was still way too thick right on the edge. The thickness in the middle might not be too far off.
I guess I can't claim to be Nostradamus, but it was nice that my main reason for posting a prediction was the thought that they'd axe the optical drive and I didn't really hear anybody else talking about that possibility.
How many people were surprised by the superdrive leaving the iMac?

I am finding it hard to dress around my latest fashion accessory: The Orthopedic Boot. My handsome manservant is about to take me to J.Crew so that I can procure some boot-friendly ensembles. I think this outfit would work wonders to combat this early Fall we are experiencing in Chicago, and disguise Le Boot.
One response to "Fall Fashion"
nothing like a pair of fly, neon shades to lift the eye. keep working on that bend and snap – works every time! mayzr

Three men face serious charges after police say they got drunk and assaulted several people.
Police say a female resident returned to her home to find highly intoxicated, disorderly people in her yard.
When asked to leave, they refuse and she tried to chase them away using an axe handle.
One of the intoxicated men knocked the woman on the ground and then threatened her with the axe handle he took from her.
A male neighbor tried to step in and yelled over the fence. The suspect and two other intoxicated people then tried to assault that neighbor, his son and a friend.
The intoxicated subjects took off with the female's axe and large knife or machete to assault the neighbors. A struggle left the suspects and the neighbors son and friend with non-life threatening injuries.
The 3 suspects then fled the scene.
Roscommon County Sheriff's Department and troopers located the suspects at another residence. Two suspects were taken by police and a third was found hiding in the woods.
Shaun Salminen faces four counts of felonious assault and two counts of assault and battery. His brother Zachary Salminen is charged with assault and battery. Jeremy McCarrik is charged with felonious assault.
The investigation in ongoing.

MARIETTA, Ga. -- The Columbus volleyball team fought.
Up against a team that was regarded as the best in Class AAAA, the Lady Blue Devils did everything but roll over and make it easy on Sandy Creek.
When the dust had settled from all the emotion and intensity, however, Columbus had come up just short, losing in four games (25-17, 25-23, 16-25, 27-25) on Saturday in the state championship game.
"Listen, they're a good team," Columbus coach Donna Fleming said of Sandy Creek. "I'm proud that we battled. We didn't lay down. I told the girls that they should be proud of their body of work. We were second out of 62 teams. That's something to be proud of."
Also worthy of pride was the fact that the team, with its back up against the wall, didn't fold.
Sandy Creek took the first two games of the match, including a heartbreaker in the second game when it appeared the Lady Blue Devils may mount a comeback. Down 24-20, Columbus scored three consecutive points but fell just short.
Fleming said that, for a lot of teams, that may have been the end of the battle.
"It's easy to get down when you fall behind 2-0 in this environment," she said. "There aren't a lot of teams that can come back from that."
But Columbus did.
It dominated the third game, allowing just one rally of three points for Sandy Creek, while it strung together two runs of four points and one of three. Up 21-16 in the game, Columbus put its foot on the gas, running off the final four points and taking a 25-16 win.
The fourth game was a microcosm of the match as a whole.
More than once, Columbus appeared to be overmatched and on its way to a loss.
Sandy Creek scored four straight early in the set to take a 4-2 lead, but Columbus rallied to take a 7-6 lead just moments later.
The Lady Patriots reeled off six straight points, erupting to a commanding 14-9 lead, but Columbus scored four straight to cut the lead to one.
Later, down 17-14, the Lady Blue Devils scored six straight and appeared to have taken control, only to have Sandy Creek battle back for a slim 21-20 lead.
Even down to its last chances at 24-23 and 25-24, Columbus forced extra points, before finally falling 27-25.
"We had opportunities in the fourth game," Fleming said. "But everyone played hard. They really did. They played every point with passion, and that's all we can ask for. A month ago, we might not have thought that we'd be here. But here we are."
Mikayla Swinson, who recorded 14 digs in the match, said the same thing about her team's ability to fight.
"No one thought we were going to be here," she said. "We came in as the underdog, and we knew we had to fight. It takes a lot of heart and a lot of drive, no matter what the result was."
Senior outside hitter Chandler Barre spoke of the team's ability to stay calm in the face of adversity.
"Everyone stayed calm," said Barre, who finished the match with 11 kills. "I'm just so proud of my teammates for staying in it."
Barre and Swinson, along with senior LeighEllen McCormick, are the only three that will be graduating from the team this year. Fleming said the team has a great outlook in the future.
"We had a young team this year," she said. "We had six juniors. This is just motivation to work harder. Winning a state championship is hard to do. To have that opportunity--now they know what they have to do to get here."

Man dies after vehicle falls 70ft off historic Natural Bridge in Riversdale
Death plunge
THE normally sleepy town of Riversdale, St Catherine was jolted into shock and grief yesterday when the motor vehicle being driven by a 60-year-old man plunged more than 70 feet from the historic rail-less Natural Bridge into a heavily vegetated precipice — a day after he celebrated his birthday.
According to the police, Luke Brown, who was visiting from Canada, had stopped by a cookshop in the vicinity of the bridge to purchase breakfast and was attempting to park his Suzuki Vitara on the slope near the bridge when the tragedy occurred.
"Him just come at the restaurant and ask what we have on the menu and we told him and him seh him going to park," related Sheryl Jones, a worker at the cookshop.
She told the Jamaica Observer that as Brown — who grew up in the neighbouring community of Troja and was visiting relatives — attempted to park his vehicle, several people began to scream.
"All of a sudden mi see the van skid and then mi nuh see it again," the distraught woman told the Observer.
The woman said she and others watched in horror as the vehicle, with a terrified Brown still clutching the steering wheel, skidded uncontrollably backwards then made angry contact with the waters below. For many, it was a surreal moment.
"I mean, we had to stand up and watch the vehicle going down. We couldn't do anything. Nothing at all," said Janeth Dunn, owner of the cookshop.
"It's a regular thing for him to stop by here for food when he visits," she told the Observer. "Mi feel it, feel it bad."
But what was more painful for Dunn, relatives and residents was the difficulty faced by rescue workers to reach Brown.
After the near two-hour operation, they retrieved his lifeless body, battered and bruised with several broken bones.
Yesterday, the dead man's brother, Alexander Brown, said he was at home when he received the news.
"I was at my home when someone called me on my phone and told me that me brother ran off the road and that was when I rushed from home and came here," said the younger Brown.
The tragedy took place a day after he had visited family to celebrate his birthday.
"It was just yesterday we gathered as a family and sat and spent some time together. We were also planning to go on the road today. He was my best brother," said the distraught Brown.
The mishap drew a massive crowd to Natural Bridge, dubbed the 'Eighth Wonder of the World' by residents because of its natural formation — a hole in a massive rock. It serves as a mini attraction for visitors to the area, who dare to descend the near 200 steps on a steep incline to view the piece of artwork created by nature.
"It really leaves all of us in shock to know that this was the man's regular area where him stop any time him come to Jamaica," said Ann Marie Brown, a resident.

Gold streamers, oversized red hearts, glitter, ribbon and lace: the Meadham Kirchhoff carnival for A/W14 was a multi-tiered, frothy display of holographic leather, striped velvet and metallic rainbow boots. "Imperfect, accidental, unapologetic," summarises hair stylist James Pecis. "London is a hub of creative energy, full of inspiring young designers. I always feel we get to do something fun here."
'Fun' is the perfect word to describe the MK sweetshop of devoré skirts, patchwork and petticoat dresses, caught somewhere between 17th century baroque and 90s girl power, which provided the soundtrack as Destiny's Child and the Spice Girls played out above the sparkling embellishment.
"Imperfect, accidental, unapologetic" — James Pecis
The hair and make-up had a sense of childlike innocence, kinking in unison with the ribbons that hung through the air. "We placed an awkwardly low side parting and blow-dried the hair with a spray mousse for tons of texture," explains Pecis. "We then created a soft marcel wave and brushed the hair out until it had a light fluffy feel. Right before the girls went out, we placed a contrasting coloured bobby pin on the front hairline."
As with any Meadham Kirchhoff show, there was a thread of darkness, apparent in the gothic lace tails and necklines on sheer dresses and button-down bodices. "At Meadham, it is all about the character," says casting director Rosie Vogel. "It is not about conventional beauties, the girls are a little bit more ethereal."

On 3rd July 2003 I was resting my eyes a bit watching TV. I
know this is a bad joke. But the movie did not require my full attention, so I
pulled out my hmt collection box and looked at the watches. The second watch I looked at, behaved very
strangely and the winding was inconsistent. Also the hands quickly moved
backward during the winding. I remember that I had opened this watch to write
this article, but as I remembered, I simply popped off the snap-on back and
there was nothing unusual at all. I had set the time for the wrist shot to 10:10
so I am sure I would have noticed anything strange. Watching the movie was
immediately canceled, the tool box was required now.
But before you will see the shot of the other side of the movement showing the keyless works where the problem was supposedly, have a look at this nice 17 Jewels hand wind movement licensed from Miyota Citizen. The finish is not great, yet all makes sense here. The movement is really very nice to look at. Have a look at the close-up picture at the bottom of this page.

No one hit all six numbers of the Powerball Lottery in Wednesday night's drawing, causing the jackpot to climb to $317 million.
One ticket sold in Georgia did match five of the numbers, but not the Powerball number. That's a ticket worth a smaller prize of $1 million.
Here are the numbers drawn Sept. 11: 11, 19, 33, 42, 52. The Powerball number is 33.
The next Powerball drawing is Saturday night. The jackpot is expected to climb even higher by then.

Enquirer: Feds believe at least two Cincinnati professional athletes are involved in illegal steroid operation.
Before you have a Simpson-style flashback, keep in mind that there isn't a lot of information available at this time and there is a good chance that this will have nothing to do with the Bengals. There are more than one professional sports teams in Cincinnati and quite a few professional athletes that don't play for the Bengals. However, just in case this turns into something that's bigger than nothing, we felt you should be aware. We'll keep you posted as more information becomes available, but for now, I wouldn't worry about this.

'Heroes Reborn': NBC Revives Cult Favorite
NBC is reviving the cult favorite TV show Heroes for a miniseries release in 2015, the network announced on Saturday during its coverage of the end of the 2014 Winter Olympics.
NBC has ordered 13 episodes of Heroes Reborn, calling the series "a new stand-alone story arc." The show's original creator and executive producer Tim Kring will oversee Heroes Reborn. NBC is keeping the details about the show's storyline secret and it's unknown if actors from the original Heroes will be returning.
Heroes, a science fiction series telling the story of a group of people discover they have supernatural abilities, aired on NBC from 2006 to 2010 and gained a large cult fanbase during that time. The show's huge cast included Hayden Panattiere, Milo Ventimiglia, and Ali Larter. Some of the characters' superpowers included spontaneous regeneration, mind reading, the ability to see the future, and super strength. The first season of the show gained some critical acclaim as well as the highest ratings seen by an NBC drama in years.
The original series followed the struggles of characters trying to understand their supernatural abilities while living in a realistic world very similar to our own. During the final season, the superheroes in the series, known as "specials," are pursued by the evil character Samuel who is looking to use their powers to build his own with the end goal of exposing the heroes to the regular world by killing thousands of people. In the final episode of the last season, the cheerleader character Claire (Panattiere) tells the world about the "specials" in a press conference.

I built myself a new bike to serve as a dedicated bike packing and epic event bike.
This is bike is a testing platform for some single speed touring.
Nothing on the bike is ultralight but nothing is heavier then needed. As pictured it is 22.9 pounds with a steel fork.
The bike starts with a 4.5 pound frame, the wheels are DT 540 and 490 rims with Specialized Fast Track and Captain tires setup tubeless and running XT hubs with DT spokes. Bars and stem are Ritchey WCS from years ago. The post is Thomson with a Specialized Phenom seat. Cranks are SLX with an FSA ring and a generic aluminum rear cog setup with a cheap eight speed chain. Brakes are XT in front and Avid in the back.
My gearing is 36×20 and the bike is built such that with a brand new chain the wheel sits all the way forward in the track ends with perfect chain tension. With a new chain you just throw the wheel in and you are "good to go" so it's very simple to manage. When the chain stretches I simply slide back a little bit and clamp it down again.

From AP/TMZ
The New York Yankees better clear out some space in their jewelery boxes -- TMZ has learned the team will be getting their World Series rings on April 13th ... when they play the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
This just in presenters of the rings will be the umpires from the ALCS who are big Yankee fans and are happy to be on hand to present the rings, one ump said, "Considering what Bud (Selig) and the umpiring crew did to help fufill this dream of a championship, we feel like we are really a part of the team."
That last part was kind of made up... or was it?????
Let's sweep them at their damn ring ceremony!
At least Physioc isn't the announcer anymore or we'd have to listen to him blabber on about the great Yankees during the telecast.

Rio's T-series sinking lines are 30' in length and come in four sink rates. T-8 240 grains (sinking rate is 6-7 ips), T-11 330 grains (sinking rate 7-8 ips), T-14 420 grains (sinking rate 8-9 i.p.s.) and T17 510 grains (sinking rate 10 i.p.s.).
You can fish them as shooting heads off of a running line or cut them down to build your own sink tips to match a specific situation. Great for use with Skagit style shooting heads. Whether you are on a big river, lake, or small stream with deep pools, these lines can be made to do what you need.
