Celis Pale Bock by Michigan Brewing Company tastes like a beer that wants to be whiskey, and who am I to discourage such a noble ambition! I am required by the site to base the rating partially on appearance and, again, I must admit to drinking straight from the bottle. So I trust others who say it has an orangeish or amber hue, and that this is normal and correct. It smells like a fine whiskey, tastes like same and drinks like same (just "lighter", of course. After all it's a beer). I don't know whether a "bock" is supposed to taste like that, as this is the only brand of bock I've tasted so far. Carbonation is just right for this interesting and winning combo of flavors (beer meets whiskey). It's not so carbonated that it has a rough or burning finish, and it's not so flat as to suggest stale soda. The very first one I drank helped inspire two poems and a declaration of love that I came to regret the next morning. What more can one ask from a fine brew?

Appearence: Pours a simple copper with a thin bubbly white head. Nice carbonation and clarity.
Smell: The smell is a nice mix of rich malts and bitter, balancing hops. Some sweetness is present, with loads of fruitiness. Very complex and tasty smelling.
Taste and Mouthfeel: Simple malt flavors, balanced by simple hop flavors. Nothing over-the-top or crazy. The malt flavors are grainy, raw, and rich, balanced nicely by a little bit of hop bitterness and citrus flavors Some sweet bubblegum and cotton candy notes as well. The mouthfeel is full bodied.
Drinkability and Overall: Definitly achieved it's goal: an easy drinking, full-flavored, session brew. Nothing special or stand-out in anyways, which makes this one special, and stand-out to me. Simple, subtle, and delicious.

Poured from 12oz brown bottle into a clear pint glass. Freshness date stamped on bottleneck.
A: Soft leather-brown shade with tall light caramel colored 1-2 finger head with lots of lacing.
S: Abundant sweet caramel, toffee, and brown sugar aromas.
T: Sweet bock lovers will have a great time with this beer. Great sweet candy malt flavors mix with buttery caramel and just enough hops to mute the sweetness a little.
M: Medium-to-full bodied with even carbonation and delicious sweet caramel aftertaste.
D: A really great bock beer that blends the best features of a lager with sweet caramels to produce a smooth, very enjoyable beer.

A - Dark orange color. Offwhite head settles at an eighth inch. Thin spots of lacing.
S - Rich caramel aroma with sweet, toasty and lightly smoky malts. Light corn and a very mild diacetyl smell is there as well.
T/M - Starts out smooth and thick feeling with a light caramel malt flavor. A sharp bitterness and carbonation bite hit and the malty flavor increases and becomes sweeter. Finish leaves sweet malts with some bitterness.
D - I see nothing "Belgian" about this beer, but for a bock I think its very good. Even has low alcohol so you can have a few.

4.13/5 rDev +22.2%
Appearance: Pours a fairly clear amber color with a huge rocky head that fades quickly that retains well and leaves layers of lace
Smell: Rich fruity caramel aroma with hints of cocoa
Taste: Starts out with a mouthful of toffee character that moves in a herbacious directon by mid-palate, with orange peel elements as well; after the swallow, an earthy fruitiness takes over and overwhelms the sweet malt
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation
Drinkability: A whole lot of flavor for a low alcohol beer; I think this beer is mis-understood as many ratings here are looking at this as a Belgian and downgrading it - read the label (it says it is a bock) and go to the website (it has Belgian spice) and then wrap your mind around what this beer is about; it is clearly a hybrid and a pretty interesting one at that

This is a really good offering. Poured out to a dark and clear amber color with a short lived medium bodied head. Medium low carbonation. Aromas of dark fruit, malts and yeast. Taste was along the same lines as the smell; fruit, bread and malt blended well with some bitterness toward the finish. The mouthfeel was slightly weaker than I would've liked, as it was on the thin side, but still good enough. High level of drinkability, this could be a great session brew considering the low ABV. Hopefully the bottled version is as good as the tap. Recommended.

Bought locally (Grapevine refrigerated shelves), a couple of days in my fridge, reviewed 45F-55F.
A medium-sized, noisy, cream-colored head collapses fast (almost like soda pop). There's no lacing to speak of. The beer is a gorgeous copper color.
Mmm. Malty, nutty smell. There's some fruit in the front, with a toffee/malt middle. The finish is nutty, malty, buttery with nicely balanced hop bitterness. This is a nice, well-balanced, darkish session.

Quite a tasty find, Celis Pale Bock is smooth, fruity, and easy to consume. The presentation was nice, with one finger of off-white froth capping a clear amber body. The nose was very fruity, with a hint of roasty malted goodness. I like the taste, with the fruit predominant. I detected a good deal of cranberry, cherry and grape, with a modest peppery taste to finish. Well done.
The carbonation was decent, a little on the weaker side, which I find characteristic of Celis's concoctions, honestly. Yet this is easy to enjoy, and worth grabbing a six, or mixing and matching with other fine Celis creations. A good beer on a cold day.

Appearance: Medium amber color with just a touch of haze. The head is off-white, about a half-inch in size; it slowly fades to a paper-thin layer. Lots of quite small bubbles rise lazily to the surface; the lacing is quite good.
Aroma: Strong caramel, home baked bread, and nutty notes; quite pleasant.
Taste: Intensely rich toasted malt flavors usher in the taste, followed by a masterful use of mild citrus hops, which play off the malt especially well. Finishes with spicy, peppery notes and nutty flavors.
Mouth feel: Very smooth and pleasant.
Drinkability/notes: This beer seems as good as it was when it was brewed in Austin by Celis; although I have no data to support this conclusion. At that time, I lacked even the barest rudiments of beer tasting ability, alas. This is an excellent beer that will reward the effort of seeking it.

Clear copper color, with quarter inch of froth atop it. Smell is sweet malt with a fair amount of fruity yeast nose. Decent bitterness at the front, accompanied by a floral hop flavor and a touch of ripe apple fruit flavor. Moderately malty, but finish is dryish.
Not a traditional bock at all, this top-fermented beer is still a quite drinkable session brew. It's too bad it's no longer made down in Austin, though.

This is a good beer. Pours out to a bright amber to almost bronze in the glass with a very, slight head. Aroma is that of malt, caramel and citrus. The taste is very good. A generous amount of malt shines through with a slight taste of caramel. For a minute, I thought I was drinking an Octoberfest. Very well done.
Thanks to trbeer for the sample.

A tasty amber in the psuedo Belgian tradition. Bright burnt gold, weak skull. Big chewy caramel nose wheezing notes of watermelon bubble gum and spring buds. Sips toffee smooth, buttery, a mildly hopped ESB? Never had a true Celis Pale Bock back in the day, but if it was anything like this one it was a most definite English style ale. Smooth and yummy, but the labeling conjured higher expectations. Thanks trbeer.

This beer pours a nice deep amber color, with a shortlived white head. There are very strong malt and hop smells, along with a slight fruit smell. Upon first taste the balance of malt,spice and hop is very much appreciated. After the taste buds get past the well balanced malt and hop, there is a citrus fruit flavor that hits the tongue and finishes quite pleasant. Overall I would say this is a very excellent beer, very well balanced, yet complex.

This poured a hazy copper with off-white head. It smelled like rich roasted barley and sweet caramel malts with a bit of lemon hops and wheat. It tasted like barley and caramel malts blended with sweet citrus hops. It was slightly thick with a bit of carbonation, and had a bittersweet aftertaste (briefly bitter, then lasting sweetness). Overall this had a very nice and clean flavor - I couldn't decide if it was simple or very subtly complex. But either way, it was really easy to drink and to enjoy.

Undated 12oz poured into a tulip.
Clear amber with minimal carbonation and an off white head that, despite its small size and short lifespan, leaves a decent broken sheet of lace as it goes down.
Buttered biscuits and some caramel malt in the nose. A pinch of dry hops underneath.
The hops are more pronounced in the taste. They don't dominate as there is just enough carmel malt to give it a backbone. Overall its pretty dry. Nice crisp clean finish. Good flavor plus a low abv equals a really good session beer.

Pours a dark amber color with a frothy off-white colored head that fades into a thin lace. Nose is sweet malt, wet hay, and nutty yeasts. Moderate in body with lots of sweet malt in the beginning followed by some spicy notes of coriander and pepper. A nutty yeastiness comes through towards the end along with some citrusy hops leaving a crisp finish. A very enjoyable brew. Unfortunately, I never tried this beer when it was brewed here in Texas, so I cant compare the two.

A - Hazy orange brown that is slightly reddish in the light with lots of tiny bubbles rising to a 1/2 finger tan head. Some huge swaths of lacing coat the glass.
S - Biscuits and toast with some sweet honey and caramel undertones. The hop profile is very mild.
T - Musty and dank hop oil with big burnt caramel notes and some very bitter leafy flavors. A bit mouldy and dank. It is pretty unique, I'll give it that. Gets better with warmth as grapey fruit flavors show themselves.
M - Feels thinner than I think it should be. The finish is extremely dry and bitter. Nice.
D - This is a near miss. It's almost good, but somehow falls short.

I can only assume that Pale Bock was intitially intended to compete with Shiner Bock, as Michelob's ZiegenBock now does. But I'm not sure of that. What I am sure of is that Michigan's version is slightly different, and more harsher than Pierre's was. It has more bitterness (Pierre's was in the 22 IBU range, but this seems more like 28-30). Of course, that could just be perception due to the hardness of the water, or something else (spicing level, residual malt, etc). It does have it's good points though. It pours a deep copper color, and the creamy ivory head holds fairly well. The nose is delicately sweet with a touch of caramel malts, candyish with a hint of clove, and generically herbal and spicy. The flavor is fuller, and adds a spark of citrus that helps to enliven it; and the spicing is fuller. It's dry and herbal and spicy with yeasty phenolic undertones. Not a bad tipple. Makes a good apertif or after dinner drink.

Pale bock isn't so pale, clear copper color with a small white colored head.
Smell is sweet and malty with a strong fresh bread aroma. Bruised banana scent and a little almond. Hops are of the Nobel type.
Starts out a little sweet with a nice toasted whole grain bread flavor. Slight bitter bite in the aftertaste but is by no means harsh and is about right. Slight banana flavor but not quite Banana Bread.
Mouthfeel is good.
Overall , Impressive for the low alcohol content. Tasty let something you can drink all night.

Poured from a 12 oz. bottle into a pint glass
A: Beautiful clear ruddy brown color with a reasonably good white head that fades quickly to a thin white layer of bubbles. Light lacing.
S: Light malt on the nose, caramel mostly.
T: Light caramel toasted malt is prominent leaving a sweetness on the tongue. There is little bittering noticeable at all until the finish where there is just enough for a quick finish and then back to a lingering maltiness.
M&D: Light to medium mouthfeel. Not a ton of depth to the brew but it's very easy to drink. Moderate carbonation is a good match.

Nice color and head. Hazy copper and thick rich whitish head. Smells malty and sort of sweet. It tastes light and malty with a carmel-like sweetness. A bit thin but quite easy to drink. It's lighter and weaker than any other bottle of beer that said "Bock" on it but it's actually a Belgian Pale Ale, I guess. Still, it tastes pretty good.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
We seem to excel at generating our own jokes, memes, gifs, funny stories, tales of drankin, and the like. And there's still a vast desert of time between here and the beginning of delightful football season. In yesterday's DV, someone mentioned how entertaining a drinking contest between a few mascots would be.
Therefore, I propose a collaborative effort between myself and co-conspirators like you. Here are the steps:
1. With the help of you fine people over the next five days, put together the list of the 32 most drankingest mascots in NCAA football. With a couple tomato cans thrown in for conference auto-bids.
2. I'll assemble them into a tournament bracket
3. One of you clowns either does, or shows me, how to set up an online poll, where the commentariat can vote on who they think would win the matchup.
4. After a day or so of voting, a volunteer (either myself or someone else who excels at funny drinking stories) writes the fictional play by play of said drinking contest. Maybe it involves Mike the Tiger trying to eat Puddles. Maybe it involves the Leprechaun and the Mountaineer in a bareknuckle brawl. We have imaginations, and can make each other laugh.
5. Winners advance until we crown a champion.
If you think this is a good idea, say so. And if you're willing to help write the stories of the drinking contests, also say so. I have free time, but not enough to write 30+ hilarious tales of drinking contests.

IT'S OFFICIAL, THE SAFE ACT, (H.R. 695) JEOPARDIZES ISRAEL'S SECURITY! -- HON. GERALD B.H. SOLOMON (Extension of Remarks - May 22, 1998)
[Page: E973]
in the House of Representatives
Mr. SOLOMON. Mr. Speaker, the Israeli Ministry of Defense has just issued a statement regarding encryption which states that the decontrol of encryption exports, as allowed by the SAFE Act, (H.R. 695) would threaten Israel's national security. Listen carefully to their exact statement: `Israel considers the regulation and control of encryption products and technology to be vital to its national security, the combating of terrorism and effective law enforcement. Engagement of any kind in encryption technology in Israel is controlled by the Government of Israel. Israeli government policy will continue to protect sensitive and essential interests by enforcing strict national security policy in this regard. It is Israel's view that all countries should do their utmost to prevent the acquisition of strong encryption technology and products by terrorist and criminal entities.'
And yet, as we all know, H.R. 695 allows for the immediate export of unrestricted encryption technology and allows for the acquisition of strong encryption technology by international terrorists. When questioned about the effects of H.R. 695 (The SAFE Act) Major General David Ivry, Advisor to Israel's Minister of Defense said that `we would encourage all of our friends in the United States to oppose the bill.' Any friend of Israel in the United States Congress who are cosponsoring H.R. 695 should ask for a briefing by the NSA and then remove their names from the bill.
All Americans who care about Israel's security should find out where their Member of Congress stands on this most important issue. The proponents of this bill maintain that Israel's enemies will eventually possess encryption technology. Even if this is true, it fails to explain why we should rush to place this technology in the hands of our enemies.
The Department of Defense, the National Security Council, the National Security Agency and now the Israel Ministry of Defense believe that America and Israel need time to develop countermeasures to address the various threats posed these new technologies and H.R. 695 does not give us this time. The truth is that now that we have the official Israel position on encryption no real friend of Israel should remain a cosponsor of H.R. 695.

I am working on methods for locally increasing model resolution in the atmospheric dynamical core. The two primary methods for doing this are grid nesting and grid stretching. These techniques will allow the GFDL atmospheric model to be run at a very high resolution over a limited area for use in hurricane forecasting, long-range chemical transport, seasonal prediction, and regional climate modeling. More information is available here.
I also have a few nice GrADS scripts, along with examples, that I use for some of my work that others may find helpful.

The Division of Public Health collected the raccoon from a home on the 800 Block of Elwood Road in Mullica Township last week. Five cats belonging to the property owner had possible exposure to the raccoon and will be observed over the next 6 months for signs of rabies since they weren't current with their vaccinations. Health Officials are reminding residents to be sure their pets are up to date with their rabies vaccinations, and avoid contact with wild and stray animals.

Montes faces six felony charges, up from one
Carlos Montes, the Los Angeles-area activist whose home was raided by Sheriffs and the FBI last month, had his first court appearance today. He now faces six felony charges of allegedly violating firearms codes, instead of the one count he was originally informed of.
On May 17, the LA Sheriff's Department SWAT team and FBI agents raided Montes' Alhambra home. He was arrested for allegedly forging a firearm application.
The six felony charges that Montes faces are relating to perjury and an ex-felon having a gun and ammunition.
Critics say the raid was politically motivated. Montes, who is a member of the LA Committee to Stop FBI Repression, is a long-time Chicano activist and heavily involved in the peace and solidarity movements.
While in police custody, Montes said the FBI questioned him regarding his political activities. According to Montes, agents seized documents related to his more than 40 years in activism, along with his cellphones, computer, and a kaffiyeh, a type of Arabic scarf.
Last year, Montes was also named on a warrant that targeted 23 anti-war activists in the Midwest and North Carolina for alleged material support for terrorism. It is part of an ongoing Justice Dept. investigation focusing on the peace movement. Critics say it is an effort to silence dissent toward U.S. foreign policy.
Approximately 80 supporters of Montes picketed the Alhambra courthouse while he waited to appear before the judge.
"I'm nervous, but, with all this support, I feel good," he said.
Acting as his own attorney, Montes requested a copy of the police report and affidavit regarding the raid on his home. District Attorney Kathy Gentry would only agree to turning over redacted versions of the documents, along with the stipulation that they not be released to news outlets.
Judge Carlos A. Uranga granted Montes three weeks to procure legal representation. His next court appearance is on July 7.
As he exited the courthouse, Montes received cheers, hugs and high-fives from supporters.
"This is a political attack," he told the group. "The fact that the FBI was there, questioning me directly about my political activities and also going through all my political documents, has nothing to do with the issue that they are charging me with."

Firm Profile
"A bay is the space expressed between two columns. It is spatial possibilities created by structure." - Calvin Powitzky, Founding Principal
Since its beginning in 1995, Bay Architects has maintained a reputation for quality work, committed employees and dependability in the educational architecture arena.
Bay Architects was founded by Calvin E. Powitzky and Mark R. French to provide a unique blend of expertise in architectural services. In 2011 Bay was pleased to join with IBI Group Inc., a TSX listed company (TSX: IBG). IBI Group is a partnership which, directly and through its subsidiary entities, provides professional services, including planning, design, implementation, analysis of operations and other consulting services in relation to four main areas of development, being urban land, building facilities, transportation networks and systems technology. Our partnership with IBI Group and Bay Architects' diversified staff consisting of 4 principals, 5 associates and over 65 experienced professionals assures that our clients needs will be exceeded.

Master Planning
Large campuses such as universities, community colleges and high schools require careful, strategic planning to maximize site usage and future expansion.
Many of our school sites today are planned for multiple campuses that must be designed within a master plan context. Many districts must project future growth in order to understand its implications on district facilities. Bay's method of district-wide planning involves the community and the educators in exploration workshops to develop growth strategies which will best respond to existing school capacities, new grade alignments and possible new facilities; all balanced to meet expected growth projections for five and ten year periods.
Facility Audits
In order to understand the full range of facility needs, a district will need a facility audit. This is a thorough visual assessment of site, architectural, structural, electrical, mechanical, and roofing systems that will identify all system-level deferred maintenance and repair deficiencies needing correction. This evaluation will also identify systems components in need of replacement based on life cycle or component renewal needs. All component items identified will be listed in a computerized database including categories, establishment of priority, estimated costs, deficiency location and corrective action description.

A second man has been found guilty in the shooting death of young man.
The crime occurred on Highland Avenue in 2007 when 21-year-old Corey Sanders was robbed of cash, marijuana and shot to death in his front yard.
Several men were charged with his murder, including Devonta Cunningham, 20, Deaundra Smith, 19, and William Gentry Davis, 20
Cunningham was convicted of first degree felony murder and especially aggravated robbery in 2012 and is currently serving a life sentence.
Deaundra Smith, now 25 years old, has received the same conviction.
A life sentence requires a minimum of 51 years in prison.
Smith's sentencing hearing for the especially aggravated robbery charge will take place in July.
Four other men still have pending charges related to this case.

Hi there my MMA loving friends.
Till now I just posted my UFC event "mug shot" card sketches but I have done some other non static stuff here and then. This is dedicated to one of my favorite fighters and I hope it serves as a talisman of some sort and reanimates the Korean Zombie, where the hell is he? He's gotta come back because I'm starting to miss his flamboyant style in the octagon!
Till next time (which I hope is with the UFC on Fuel TV 8 sketches...which is less then 3 days, gotta move!)

The trade deadline is coming up in less than a month, and i am expecting a lot more activity this season because of the uncertainty regarding the labor issues. Some teams may want to unload certain players because of the possibility of the restructuring of the salary cap, this could be beneficial to the 49ers team. Additionally, the 49ers seem to have more depth at certain positions and could look to unload a Heitmann or Lewis. The 49ers also picked up 3 extra 2011 draft picks (4th from San Diego), (6th from Seattle), and (7th from Detroit), that they can utilize if need be.
So lets look at who may be available and for what.
WR- Sammie Stroughter, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
At first look this wouldn't seem like a move the 49ers would make, it did seem they were deep enough at WR, but with injuries to Ginn and Williams the 49ers had to bring the enigma that is Jason Hill back into the mold. Stroughter is currently listed as their #2 WR on ESPN, but could easily be had because of the possible emergence of rookies Mike Williams and Arrelious Benn as well as the addition of Michael Spurlock who has been playing a lot more recently. Stroughter had 31 receptions and a TD in 2009, but has only accumulated 2 catches thus far in 2010. Possible swap of Stroughter for 6th or 7th round pick
FB- Earnest Graham, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Not sure how he would fit into the 49ers scheme, they appear set with Norris starting this season. However, i could easily see them making a move for Graham who had a combined 14 TDs the last two seasons, and could couple with Dixon in short yardage attempts and play a quasi FB role. 6th or 7th round pick
CB- Nnamdi Asomugha, Oakland Raiders
This really seems like a match made in heaven! Oakland has been looking to unload Asomugha, who is one of the top 3 corners in the NFL because of his salary, and the 49ers have the room to fit him in. This would be a great deal for the 49ers. Trade CB- Tarell Brown, 4th round in 2011 and conditional in 2012 and bring the shutdown corner to team with Clements and Spencer.
DL- Richard Seymour, Oakland Raiders
There is no question that Seymour isn't happy in Oakland and would like to be moved. He would fit perfectly into the 49ers 3-4 system as an end opposite Smith. His age may be an issue, so i wouldn't give up a whole lot for him. Maybe Soap and a mid round pick. Or Ray McDonald straight up
CB- Eric Wright, Cleveland Browns
Cleveland and Holmgren have been attempting to rid themselves of the players from the previous regime, they did a lot of that in the off-season, and Wright is a holdover. I really like the way he plays, and he could be had for a mid round pick and a player. Maybe Curtis Taylor and a 5th in 2011. Or Tarell Brown straight up
There does seem to be a nice amount of players available that the 49ers could use. Additionally, Eric Heitmann, Michael Lewis, Soap, and Delanie Walker could possibly be moved by the 49ers

Don't look now but cans are cool. Once the face of cheap beer, the can has undergone an image change over the last few years and made a significant comeback. Almost 53 percent of the beer consumed in 2O11 was served in an aluminum can, up from a low of 48 percent in the years leading to the economic slump that began in 2OO7. After peaking at 6O percent in 1991, the can's popularity gave [...] Read More »

2011 was a rough year for Bastrop County -- wildfires destroying homes, land, and taking the lives of two people.
Terry Fletcher's home burnt down that Labor Day weekend and now he's hoping people will be careful and won't repeat the past.
"Right now the people that are burning brush are crazy as hell. They shouldn't do it because we lost 1,700 homes in this county," Fletcher said.
Friday morning, Mike Fisher with the Bastrop County Office of Emergency Management recommended the judge instate a burn ban because this summer's drought is just not looking good.
"Very dry...particularly the fine fuels, we call fine fuels, the grass and weeds. And especially along the roadways. The heavier fuel, the trees, are not quite as dry but it's just certainly a matter of time," Fisher said.
Fisher announced the move on the Emergency Management Facebook page. Most people overwhelmingly supported the decision, but there was some backlash.
"Everybody gets frustrated at some point. Clearly my friends and neighbors in Bastrop County including myself and my family still have memories of that awful September of 2011 and that invokes a lot of different emotion in different people," Fisher said.
Fisher says the ban is on open burning. It's still ok to burn in containers that keep the flames in like barbecue pits.
Welding operations are also ok and so are fireworks.
"We urge people if they're gonna do that, be extraordinarily careful. Follow the recommendations that the fireworks industry and our website puts out," Fisher said.
Ellee Johnson is a downtown business owner. Despite having to evacuate in 2011, her family's home didn't burn down.
"There's a lot of people here locally that are still suffering from that fire. Just the devastation of it, trying to rebuild, trying to get their lives back together," Johnson said.
Johnson is all for the burn ban. Even if their trash pile will start getting bigger.
"It just has to pile up! It'll just pile up but we will wait," Johnson said.
Fisher says the burn ban order lasts 7 days but he expects it will be extended until late August or so.

Youth support group secures new locations to stay open
12:00pm Tuesday 4th February 2014 in News
Volunteers at a charity dedicated to helping young people are celebrating after discovering the organisation can remain open.
Youth Aid, which is based in Blandford but helps people aged up to 25 from across the county, faced closure this winter.
But three months after an appeal for help, the charity has revealed eleventh-hour support from the town will ensure it is able to continue its good work.
Founder and project manager Sue Sullivan said: "We have managed to secure two new locations for Youth Aid. Scruples Coffee House has offered us its internet cafe and we'll be there twice a week for drop in and once for one-to-one confidential sessions. The DT11 forum has also given us the use of its buildings on Fridays too."
Youth Aid opened in March 2012. It offers advice and counselling to young people.
Its base in Salisbury Street is also used by the social services as a meeting place for families.
But the charity struggled to raise the £1,000 needed each month to keep running.
In its first year, Youth Aid had 1,720 visits. Between 10 and 20 clients receive support every day For information, call Sue on 01258 480317 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez upended the negotiations with David Beckham and his investors Monday by proposing that the group consider building a Major League Soccer stadium on the downtown waterfront but not at PortMiami.
As an alternative, Gimenez proposed filling a massive boat slip between Museum Park and AmericanAirlines Arena, which, according to the mayor, would create enough new land for a stadium as well as a pedestrian walkway along Biscayne Bay.
Downtown Miami will greatly benefit from the creation of a grand waterfront park that will serve to bring our urban core closer to the water, providing a magnificent bay front walk along Biscayne Bay, Gimenez wrote in a letter late Monday to Beckhams real-estate adviser.
The mayors request could significantly shift the soccer debate, which up until now has centered almost exclusively on the ports southwest corner. That waterfront site has drawn strong opposition from some county commissioners and port interests, led by Royal Caribbean Cruises, which is headquartered next door.
PortMiami is still in play for a possible 25,000-seat, open-air stadium, Gimenez told the Miami Herald. So are other potential sites, including adjacent to the Miami Marlins ballpark in Little Havana.
But by formally requesting that Beckhams group look into filling the slip and report back to the county in two weeks, the mayor is steering negotiations toward an option that had only briefly been discussed nearly six months ago.
Ive always said everybody needs to take a deep breath, Gimenez said. Were still working through this.
In a statement, Miami Beckham United said it will examine the feasibility of filling the slip and building a stadium, which the group has pledged to pay for using private funds. The group won approval in Tallahassee last week to apply for a state subsidy.
Our goal from the outset has been to create a great fan experience, to provide an economic asset that creates jobs, and design a stadium that communicates the energy of Miami to the entire world, the group said. The Port is a strong site; however, a stadium next to AmericanAirlines Arena is an exciting possibility.
The head of the Miami Seaport Alliance, which was organized by Royal Caribbean in opposition to a port stadium, said the organization would not put up resistance to locations outside of PortMiamis Dodge Island.
Whatever site the community wants to do is lovely and wonderful, and we leave it to our elected officials to decide, said John Fox, the alliance president and a Royal Caribbean lobbyist. Our position has always been that were not in favor of getting this done at the seaport.
No one is suggesting that filling and building what is formally known as the Florida East Coast Railway slip would be easy or cheap.
For starters, the property is owned by the city of Miami, which would have to sell it or convey it to the county. The city charter requires a public vote over the use of any waterfront property. Gimenez said municipal attorneys would have to determine if a vacant slip falls under that provision.
Shortly before Gimenez sent his letter Monday, Miami Mayor Tomás Regalado said he had not heard any official word on a potential interest in the slip.
But it has been the topic of conversation many times, he said, adding that filling it would be a monumental task.
In December, both Gimenez and Regalado said the possibility wasnt under serious consideration for soccer.
Developers have long eyed the slip as one of the last remaining bayfront properties. At one point, the Marlins considered it as a possible location for their ballpark. But they nixed the idea as cost-prohibitive because of the millions of dollars it would take to pump out water and fill the site with rock trucked in from elsewhere.
In 2000, Gimenez, then Miamis city manager, wrote in a memo that filling the entire slip would create a 9.8-acre developable site. It would require 400,000 cubic yards of fill material and the construction of a new seawall. Those improvements would have increased the value of the site to $42.7 million, Gimenez wrote at the time.
Neither Gimenez nor John Alschuler, Beckhams real-estate adviser and one of his lobbyists, would say Monday how much the filled property could be worth today.
Gimenez did say the county estimates it would cost between $10 million and $16 million just to fill the slip using commercial material as opposed to rocks unearthed during the ongoing PortMiami dredge, which Gimenez said might be too far along to tap as fill.
The slip has actually been on the radar for months. A Nov. 15 county email regarding topics for discussion for an upcoming soccer meeting a list of issues involving filling the slip. Among them was that environmental and building permits from several state and federal agencies would be required, including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
But because its a man-made slip without any protected sea grass beneath it, Gimenez said county environmental regulators have given him generally positive feedback about the idea.
For its part, Beckhams group didnt list the possibility among its priorities because it didnt think the county would like the idea of possibly losing potential parkland.
That calculus has changed because Gimenez has asked the group to consider the property behind the arena, known as Parcel B, as part of the expanded park space that could be linked along the bay to Museum Park. A Cuban exile museum has been pushing to build there.
The mayors willingness to add Parcel B to the discussion is a fundamental change because it means the park would be larger and arguably better, because it has a greater percentage of bayfront property, Alschuler said.
Miami Herald staff writers Douglas Hanks and Charles Rabin contributed to this report.

Urinalysis, 24-hour urinalysis
This test looks for uric acid in your urine. Your liver creates uric acid when it breaks down substances called purines. These are found in higher levels in foods like dried beans and peas, some types of fish, and liver. Some people may get rid of more uric acid in their urine. These include people who:
Eat foods high in purines
Have a type of arthritis called gout
Have certain types of leukemia
Are undergoing chemotherapy or radiation for certain cancers
Uric acid can also accumulate in the kidney as a type of kidney stone. Kidney stones can be painful to eliminate when urinating.
You may need this test if your health care provider suspects that you have gout. He or she may also use this test to monitor you while you have cancer treatment, or to check your urine after you have a kidney stone.
Your doctor may also test the pH, or acidity, of your urine and check for a substance called creatinine.
Many things may affect your lab test results. These include the method each lab uses to do the test. Even if your test results are different from the normal value, you may not have a problem. To learn what the results mean for you, talk with your health care provider.
Adults normally lose about 500 to 600 milligrams (mg) of uric acid in their urine every 24 hours. If you're eating a normal diet, losing more than 800 mg a day is considered too much.
If you eat lots of animal protein or purines, you may have more uric acid in your urine. A number of health problems can also cause you to make more uric acid, including gout, leukemia, obesity, cancer treatment, ileostomy, glycogen storage diseases, and Lesch-Nyhan syndrome.
This test requires a urine sample. Your health care provider may measure your uric acid levels using a 24-hour urine specimen. First, you will empty your bladder completely in the morning without collecting it and note the time. Then, you'll collect your urine every time you go to the bathroom over the next 24 hours.
This test poses no known risks.
Drinking alcohol or eating a lot of foods high in purines can affect the level of uric acid in your urine. If you are dehydrated, your level may appear high. Certain medications may also affect your test results. Ask your health care provider whether you should avoid any foods, beverages, medications, or other substances before having this test.
Be sure your doctor knows about all medicines, herbs, vitamins, and supplements you are taking. This includes medicines that don't need a prescription and any illicit drugs you may use.

Great idea... but..24 May 2013
By sloaners
Amazon Verified Purchase
I gave it 3 stars due to the issue of actually connecting to the hub. I use it with a galaxy note 10.1. When its connected its great, no dropouts, no lag. At times it connects first time, other times it has taken me around 15-30 mins. At that price i want a connection first time every time. Would I recommend? No.

Be wary of power adaptor.. 20 Nov 2012
By Stomuk
Amazon Verified Purchase
I purchased this item a couple of days ago and received it when expected.
Unfortunately none of the product information seems to specify that the unit comes with a European 2 pin plug instead of a UK plug.
Supplier has offered to refund me the costs if I source a uk plug for it (its a basic android phone adaptor kind of PSU) but I don"t see that this is something I should be doing. Items purchased in the UK should as far I am aware come with the correct plug adaptor fittings to suit.
At this point I am yet to get home and test the unit out.

Miracles Happen
Chloe told Daniel there had been a miracle; Parker was his son.
At first, Daniel thought she was lying. Chloe assured him she could prove it. She and Philip had another DNA test done, and it said that Philip couldn't possibly be Parker's father. Chloe said she had proof. Daniel thought she was playing some sort of game with him.
Kayla arrived noting she'd just gotten off the phone with Stephanie. Chloe urged Daniel to let her in, so she could explain things. Kayla confirmed that Parker was Daniel's son and went on about how Stephanie's friend, Ian Burton, had changed Parker's original test results to help Stephanie. When Stephanie learned the truth, she felt horrible and wanted to set things right. So did Kayla, noting how Caroline had actually switched the paternity tests back to their original results.
Seeing Is Believing
Daniel read the lab results and realized it was all true. Then, he asked about Philip. Chloe said he was miserable, but had always sensed Parker wasn't his. Chloe noted that Philip was over Victor's with Parker saying goodbye. Daniel mentioned how he hadn't seen Parker since he was born. Chloe suggested they go over to Victor's together to see the boy.
Jennifer Takes a Fall
Jennifer told Lucas she was in love with Daniel and headed off to see him. Unfortunately, she stumbled over some boxes outside, fell, and ended up unconscious. Lucas took her inside to the couch. Billie arrived and felt terrible, since she'd left the boxes outside. Soon, Jennifer regained consciousness.
Lucas and Billie wanted to take Jennifer to the hospital to get checked out. Jennifer hemmed and hawed at first, but finally relented and let Billie drive her there. Jennifer received a text from Daniel, noting he needed some more time before she arrived.
At the hospital, Jennifer waited for the results of her MRI. She was anxious to leave and meet Daniel. When Billie went to find Jennifer's doctor, Jennifer slipped away.
Ready to Start a New Life
Nick told Maggie he would soon be starting a new job with Kate. Maggie was thrilled he'd be able to provide for his family. Gabi interrupted, and the three chitchatted about Nick and Gabi's upcoming wedding. After Maggie left, Gabi went on about how her mother wouldn't be attending their wedding. She couldn't lie to her mom about her child's paternity, so it was best if she didn't come. Then, Gabi sent Nick off to his bachelor party.
Bachelor Party
Sonny and Will headed to the coffeehouse for Nick's bachelor party. The twosome, Chad and Cameron discussed how few of them were there. Of course, it was because most of Nick's friends were still in jail. Cameron's ears perked up, when Chad mentioned that Nick got out of jail after Labor Day. Cameron headed off. Will phoned Gabi and questioned her about the doctor she'd been seeing. Gabi noted it was Cameron. Will informed her that he now knew Nick wasn't her baby's father. Soon, Lucas and Nick arrived. Lucas sensed that Will didn't seem very excited about Nick and Gabi's wedding.
Somebody's Listening
Gabi went to the hospital, found Cameron, and said they needed to talk. She asked if everything they discussed about her pregnancy was confidential, and Cameron assured her it was. He wouldn't say anything to anybody about her baby. Cameron asked if Nick knew the baby she was carrying couldn't possible be his. "Nick knows everything," swore Gabi, noting that the baby's biological father knew, too, and agreed to do what was best for their child. Little did Gabi know that someone was outside listening to everything.
Father and Son Reunion
Henderson announced to Victor that Philip was there with Parker. When Maggie returned, she found her husband looking distraught. "What aren't you telling me?" she asked Victor. Later, after Victor explained, Maggie was stunned. She wondered if Daniel knew, yet. Victor noted that Chloe was currently telling him. Later, Daniel arrived with Chloe. Victor said how happy he was for Daniel, who went into the living room and found Maggie with Parker. "He's so beautiful," whispered Daniel. Chloe picked the boy up and asked him to give Daniel a hug. Daniel tenderly embraced his son.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -
Three former Tigers played their way onto the LPGA Tour Sunday at the LPGA Final Qualifying Tournament in Daytona Beach, Fla. Maria Martinez (`06) finished at 10-under par and in third place, earning full exemption status for the 2007 Tour.
"I am very proud of Maria," Auburn head coach Kim Evans said. "She put five very good rounds together and will spend 2007 competing with the best in the world as a result."
Danielle Downey (`03) finished just two strokes shy of earning a full exemption, placing tied for 17th at 1-over par. Celeste Troche (`03) finished at seven-over in 51st place. Both golfers will have non-exempt status on the 2007 Tour, which allows them to play a limited number of events.
The fourth former Tiger in the tournament, Diana Ramage (`05) was disqualified.
Overall, 41 golfers earned exemptions in the five-day event, held at the LPGA International Champions and Legends Courses. The 90-hole tournament had golfers playing each course twice before Saturday's cut to the top-70 and ties. Sunday's final round was played on the Legends Course.

For as long as I can remember the Astros have been known for their heavy hitting catchers. If we run down the list of Astro catchers, it's practically a home run derby. Quintero, Corporan, Towles, Cash, Munson, Rodriguez, Ausmus, Chavez, Zaun, Meluskey, and Eusebio have caught the majority of the innings in Houston for the past 11 years. Ok, so my sarcasm about some of those guys is a bit over the top. Ausmus wasn't here to hit and apparently he did everything a catcher is supposed to do, and he did it well. Personally, Eusebio was my favorite. Not only did he hit the ball to the opposite field (every time he made contact), but he had a great voice for interviews with a thick accent. And boy, he loved to talk. Despite my affection for some of them, that list of catchers really didn't add much offense. Meluskey was the only above average hitter, but had many other flaws. I thought those times were finally over. At last we had a top prospect that could catch. At last we had Castro the Astro.
Well, we did have him until, like all things Astro related this season, he got broken. To make it even worse, his injury happened during spring training just after some fancy-pants, voodoo, injury prophet had warned us of the possibility. Damned soothsayers never have good news. Can't one of these crystal-ball peepers look deep into, whatever it is they look into to discern the likelihood of an injury, and give us some good news? So out Castro went for the season leaving Quintero, Corporan, and Towles to guide our pitching staff and carry on the legacy of Astro-home run-mashing-catchers. I had hoped that Towles would grab hold of this opportunity and pull himself out of the minors for good...he didn't. In all, the Astros' catchers contributed this slash line for the year .209/.255/.290 with the fewest home runs in the league (5).
I hope that Castro will return at full strength next season and stay that way. Maybe "hope" isn't the right word...I pray, and I'm not religious...I pray that Castro is back and healthy. I would say that the Astros are praying for his return as well, but at this point, I don't think anyone in the front office cares about next season. Is there even a front office anymore?
Here's what Mr. Castro can do to make me happy. First of all, he needs to bring some of what Ausmus brought and give us brains, pitch framing, pitch blocking, and a solid arm behind the plate. He doesn't have to be the very best, but he has to be above average. Then, of course, I hope he can bring a bat. He won't have to do too much to improve our overall production from the catcher spot, but I would be happy with a Carlos Ruiz (this season) type of performance from him. I came up with Ruiz by looking at other players that had a BB% of 10-13% and a K% of 10-13%, (I think Castro could be in that neighborhood) and happened to find a catcher. Realizing that catcher is the position that Castro plays, and taking this as an omen, I decided to look at Ruiz's other stats this season to see if I thought they were reachable for Castro and if I would be satisfied with them. Ruiz's slash line for the season was .283/.371/.383. I would take that. Would you? I have to be honest with myself, and to expect such production in his first full season after a major knee injury is too much. But maybe in 2013 a line like that will be possible.
In all, Castro may never live up to his expectations, and he may prove right all the people who wanted a different player in the 2008 draft. But if he does solve the catcher dilemma for 4 or 5 years bringing good defense, good game calling, along with a Ruiz-type bat, I personally won't complain. But there is a glimmer of hope that someone can hit the ball and catch next season.
