Matt Fox says Swindon has plenty going on
6:20pm Monday 12th November 2012 in News By Barrie Hudson

MATT Fox has lived in Swindon for only a little over half a decade, but he praises it with a fervour worthy of the most loyal local.
He is especially keen to tear town cliches about culture and our supposed lack of it, and has a ready answer for anybody who complains there's not much going on.
"We have a lot of people who are professionals in the industry," he said, listing Swindon performers with credits everywhere form the West End to Opera North.
"In terms of the training we've got, there are some excellent music schools, drama schools and dance schools.
"There's absolutely no reason why Swindon should be seen as a cultural backwater at all in terms of training. The real problem is there's almost this sense that people put themselves down, and don't think there's anything good.
"I think it's partly due to what's said in the media – people start to believe it – but I think it's also due to a lack of being able to see what's going on. A good example of this is Swindon Dance, which is perhaps one of the most important dance organisations in the country, but almost nobody knows it exists. But in London people know it's there.
"It's almost that nobody is talking about it, that nobody is showcasing this stuff."
Matt believes in encouraging as many people, especially young ones, to explore their potential as artists, but he's realistic about the reasons why this might be difficult.
"If you've got a choice between paying the mortgage and sending the kids to singing lessons, you're going to pay the mortgage. It's a real shame because talent isn't just something that middle class kids have, it's something that all kids have."
Matt is originally from Cornwall. His father is a driving instructor and his mother a teaching assistant. He has a 27-year-old brother, Sam, and a 22-year-old sister, Anna, both of whom work with people who have learning issues.
As a child and teenager, Matt lived within easy travelling distance of Plymouth, which he describes as having the most prolific theatre production schedule in the country. The 1,500 seater Theatre Royal and the much smaller Drum theatre co-operate, with the larger theatre helping to support the smaller one's encouragement of new talent and shows with a more limited market.
The arrangement shaped not only Matt's attitude to the arts but also his own career. "It involved doing a lot of workshops – writing, drama, music and a lot of performing.
"I was a member of a writers' group down there. That's where I got into writing. Me and a friend went along and that was the first writing I ever did."
Matt met his wife, Jessie, while studying at the University of London. The couple later lived in Cornwall while Matt completed a post-graduate degree but moved to Swindon, Jessie's home town, in 2006.
Jessie is the daughter of Janice Thompson, a major figure in music education locally. Swindon was chosen because the couple wanted to be close to at least one set of parents and because Swindon is rather more central than Cornwall.
After the triumph this summer of Swindon: The Opera, next year's theatre festival is a natural progression.
In the meantime Matt wants to drive home the message that there are plenty of interesting non-mainstream atttractions to be found here already.
"Look at places like The Vic, Swindon Dance," he said. "Look at places like The Furnace that had a piece of immersive theatre in it.
"It's all about looking past the obvious because if you only look at the obvious venues you're only going to see what they're putting on."

A 'High-End Squatter' Found a Sweet Spot to Stay in Wicker Park
A woman lived in a foreclosed, $1.5-million house for two years without a lease—even putting up holiday decorations and getting to know her neighbors.
List Price: $1,595,000
Sold Price: $1,482,500
The Property: Usually, when you read about squatters taking over vacant, foreclosed homes, they're in boarded-up houses like this one in Rogers Park or the 20 or so in Englewood that the Anti-Eviction Campaign has moved homeless people into.
But one Chicago squatter found a pretty sweet place to occupy: a newly built five-bedroom, five-bath home in Wicker Park that had an in-home theater, a sauna, and a rooftop deck with views of the downtown skyline. The builder lost the property in foreclosure in 2011. It wasn't until 2013 that the foreclosing lender, MB Financial, managed to get the squatter out, via a court order.
According to Melanie Giglio, one of two Sergio & Banks agents who sold the home for MB Financial, the woman appeared to have no lease and pay no rent for at least two years. The other agent, Melissa Govedarica, said the woman might at some point have had a lease with the builder. In any case, the bank didn't know there was a tenant when it gave the two agents the listing on the house in 2012, Giglio says.
"But she was living there; she had keys and she decorated [outside] at Halloween and Christmas," Giglio says. "The neighbors knew her, but they didn't know she was a squatter."
Selling foreclosures, agents frequently run into squatters—whether they are formerly legal tenants who now are just hanging on as long as they can, or are illegal occupants of a property. "But I hadn't seen any at this price point," Giglio says. "This was a high-end squatter."
Planning to sell the house after spending two years foreclosing the builder, the bank then spent more than another year evicting the occupant. Eventually a court issued an eviction order, with a definite date for the woman to vacate the property, but she didn't comply. Ultimately, police were called in to move all her belongings out to the street. The builder had completed the home but hadn't maintained it, Govedarica says, and the squatter "beat it up," Giglio adds. The bank spent about $100,000 on repainting, floor refinishing, and other touchups before putting it on the market in September.
New buyers put it under contract in October, and the sale closed December 12. Giglio, who also represented the buyers, said they were aware that there had been an unwanted tenant but weren't concerned. "They didn't see the house until it was cleaned up and restored," she says.
Price Points: The builder paid $500,000 for the site in 2007, according to the Cook County Recorder of Deeds; a year later he was offering the not-yet-complete house for $1,899,900. He took it off the market in late 2008—possibly because he had rented it out, although the recent agents said there was no documentation of that.
The bank started foreclosure in May 2009 and got possession of the house in February 2011. In September of this year, after the tenant was removed and the house cleaned up, Giglio and Govedarica put it on the market with an asking price of $1.799 million. That came down to $1.699 and then to $1.595 before it sold.
Listing Agents: Melanie Giglio (773-235-6100, email@example.com) and Melissa Govedarica (773-235-6100, firstname.lastname@example.com), both of Sergio and Banks.

HeathesFeathers, if you'd like to fill me in, email me: firstname.lastname@example.com. I'd love to have more of the story.
I have more to add to the story too - but will only discuss with you on confidential / anonymous basis. Please email me if interested in hearing more.
I can't believe we use police to do the dirty work of private, for-profit bankers and real estate agents. And yet if our bikes get stolen in the same neighborhood, some desk jockey takes the info on 311 and that's it.
Welcome to Rahm's Chicago... where the super rich guys always win.. and the rest of us are out on our ass.
There's always more to the story but the big picture is that we(Illinois) is a judicial foreclosure state. Which in a nut shell means that foreclosures have to go through the court system. Since the court system is so slow/backlogged, whatever, it usually takes about 15-20 months from the point where the bank starts foreclosing to the point they can take possession. Many times the homeowner's will just stay put until they're told they have to leave, where others will rent their home out and collect rent until the bank takes control. The stories are endless from renters who do not know the owner is not paying the mortgage, to friends living in homes for free, to you name it. The difference here is that when the person living there was told the home had gone through the full foreclosure process and they had to go... they used Chicago's tough renter laws to stay for bit longer. I know people have the inside story here but my guess is that was not too much malice involved. Person in there probably started out a renter or friend of builder and just used the place as long as possible.
You have been mis-led / mis-informed Beckola. The renter was involved in a UCC / Strawman scam trying to take the home from the bank MB Financial. He was incarcerated (for identity theft) while in the process of doing this and failed at his scam. The builder was in on it. The woman was a drunk and probably clueless to what was going on with her husband. Do some homework on the owner & builder. ChicagoBlockshopper.com there is a laundry list of odd real estate transactions with both supposed renter and builder.
I am the executive director of the Chicago Anti Eviction Campaign feel free to get fact checks, clarity quotes,comments by contacting email@example.com. Appreciate articles by you and Mr. Moser. There is a housing movement in Chicago that help birth and re energized occupy our homes,take back the land and other housing justice movements. We believe in a human right to housing and support community based solutions to vacant and abandoned properties.

Sophomore Lexi Panepinto could have been home in Buffalo, NY, last Thursday, making the most of the final days of winter break. Instead, she and nearly 400 other sophomores joined 100 alumni on campus for the kickoff of SophoMORE Connections, the annual event that helps second-year students explore career opportunities through inspirational conversations with Colgate graduates, faculty, and staff.
Participants engaged with alumni at 14 different sessions that explored careers in a variety of fields. They also attended workshops on networking, interviewing, and using LinkedIn. More than 40 juniors and seniors were on hand to talk with underclassmen about their summer internship experiences and off-campus study trips.
"It was honestly so helpful and worthwhile," said Panepinto. "All the sessions and panels were valuable in the sense of great information, advice, and connections, but they were also genuinely interesting and fun to listen to and engage in."
Registration was up nearly 30 percent for the weekend-long program, proving that students are proactive when it comes to preparing for life after graduation.
"It is the result of our new strategy to work with students earlier in their Colgate careers," said Associate Vice President and Director of Career Services Michael Sciola. "We saw the majority of the Class of 2016 during their first year on campus, so they were looking out for our program this winter."
A squad of student interns helped to promote the event on social media, and Jillian Arnault '10, alumni engagement coordinator in career services, led the event organization team.
The highlight of the weekend came on Friday, when Lisa Hillenbrand '79, P'16, director of global marketing at Procter & Gamble, spoke to undergraduates. Hillenbrand leads marketing efforts for one of the world's most recognizable brands — the company that brings us Olay, Cover Girl, Vicks, and much more. Check out these 10 key points from her keynote address.
Noting the number of alumni who left busy lives to attend SophoMORE Connections, President Jeffrey Herbst said, "That they have come back here this weekend is testament to their commitment to the institution and to you. What you hear today and the resources available through career services and the alumni network — these are all for you, and you should take advantage of them in order to complement a wonderful liberal arts education."

Blackburn man jailed over restraining order breach
3:00pm Saturday 28th June 2014 in News By Andrew Bellard, Court reporter
A 38-YEAR-OLD man who breached an 'unwanted' restraining order for the third time has been jailed for four months.
Blackburn magistrates heard Thomas Howard was found hiding in a back yard close to where his partner and mother of his four children lived.
She told police he had not been there despite a neighbour reporting a disturbance involving a male and a female.
When she opened the door, Emily Baron had a small cut to the bridge of her nose which she said she had sustained falling into a door.
Howard, of Sandon Street, Blackburn, pleaded guilty to breach of a restraining order and racially aggravated threatening behaviour towards a police officer.
Scott Ainge, prosecuting, said Miss Baron was very agitated when she answered the door and demanded to know why the police were there. She said Howard had not been at her home.
When he was arrested in an adjoining yard Howard accused a Muslim officer of being 'Taliban' and asked why he was working for 'this' establishment.
"They stitched you up for 9/11 and you are a disgrace to that beard," he said.
Jonathan Taylor, defending, said Miss Baron had made it clear she did not want the restraining order and was making efforts through her own solicitor to have it removed.
"At the moment we have a situation where she doesn't want the order and doesn't believe she should be restricted by it," said Mr Taylor.
"After his arrest he was taken through the house and his children were there. He didn't believe that was necessary. He used hurtful words to the officer and he is genuinely sorry for that."

Teaching Your Preschooler to Share
Question: My child has a difficult time sharing. She's very possessive about her toys and belongings. But that's just the beginning! She doesn't even like to share the swings at the park, her seat on the bus, or "her" patch of sand on the beach! How can I get her to share?
Think about it: When you're a little kid, nothing really belongs to you. Sure, you may get a baton for your birthday, but when you hit your brother with it, your father takes it away. It may be your favorite sweater, but when you grow out of it, your mother gives it to your little cousin. It may be your special swing at the park, but when you arrive and a big kid is abusing it, your babysitter tells you to wait your turn. You may start to believe that you have to keep all your important things hidden away to keep them safe from loss.
Practice: Set up non-threatening situations that lend themselves to sharing so that your child has practice sharing her belongings for a short period of time. A few examples are: games that require two people, such as badminton or checkers, puzzles where everyone is making the same thing, crafts where children are sharing supplies, coloring with one set of crayons or markers, or building a Lego city.
Explain your expectations: Let your child know exactly what to expect prior to a sharing situation. For example, before a friend's visit let her know how long the friend will be there, and reassure her that all her things will still be hers after the friend leaves. Allow your child to put away a few favorite things that do not have to be shared, but let her know that the guest will be playing with the other toys during the visit.
YOU share too! Share things with your child and point out what you are doing. For example, "Andrea, would you like a turn on my calculator? I'd be happy to share it with you."
Will you share with me? Encourage your child to share toys with you. It's often easier for a child to share with a parent, since the child knows you'll be careful and that you'll give the toy back when you're done. It makes for good sharing practice.
Give choices: Give your child choices instead of demanding that she share a specific toy. For example, "Sarah would like to play with some stuffed animals. Which ones would you like to let her play with?"
Save the lecture for later: It's easier to teach your child about sharing at times when she's not in a sharing situation. In the middle of a tug-of-war over her stuffed rabbit she won't be very receptive to your thoughts on the value of sharing. There are lots of good children's books about sharing that can be used to teach, as well as lots of opportunities to demonstrate sharing at home.
Create rules: Have very specific rules about sharing. You should have "joint ownership" rules, for things such as board games, sports equipment and other things that are owned by "all the kids" or the family. Have separate rules about things that are privately owned, such as toys that were received as gifts, or those things that a child has purchased herself. Allow children to have a few important things that they don't ever have to share, so that they will be more willing to share other less valued possessions.

Hey Ducks Fans,
Congratulations on a great win! I'm one of the writers over the The Rivalry, Esq., SB Nation's Big Ten Conference Blog. I just put up an early preview of The Rose Bowl Game.
Here are a few choice excerpts:
I stayed late at a local Grandview pub to watch the game, and after three Bells winter white ales, my buddy turned to me and declared: "I like this matchup. It pits strength against strength." He's referring, of course, to Oregon's spectacular run-spread attack against Ohio State's rock solid 3-4 defense. I agreed, with slight reservation. The Buckeye's struggles against the spread offense are well documented. Oregon State, which boasted the best rushing defense in the Pac 10 coming into the Civil War, gave up 288 yards on the ground to the Ducks. (They gave up less to Stanford, and its almost-certain-to-be-a-Heisman-finalist tailback Toby Gerhard).
The fact that Ohio State's defense, a unit that's adept at swallowing Big Ten power rushers, will be forced to de-stack the box, and dispatch into space to track a multifaceted (misdirectional) option attack should be cause for concern in Columbus. Last night, Oregon employed motion Pistol, two-back, and spread sweep sets, along with the bread-and-butter zone read to perfection against the Beavers.
But before you panic, remember, success begins and ends at the line of scrimmage. To compensate for the strength and depth of Ohio State's defensive line, Oregon will have to count numbers in the box, and hope for favorable blocking angles. When they get them, they can move on anyone like a hot knife through butter (see versus USC). When they can't, their attack is as flat as Kansas (see versus Boise State). If Ohio State's DT's can jam the middle and blow Oregon off the line early, they'll be sitting ducks.
The full preview is here.

WARREN COUNTY, N.Y. -- In Warren County, Sheriff Nathan "Bud" York says he's concerned about how New York's new gun control law was steam rolled through the legislature.
The sheriff chides New York lawmakers for rushing the law through the legislature without giving the public time to analyze and consider the provisions, and he is uncertain some of the law will have any significant effect on gun violence.
In a letter, sheriff York tells Warren County residents that not all of the state's sheriff's agree or disagree with the new gun law, but he believes they will all enforce New York's laws as required.

You need to read this. I said to. Do this first. Follow this pattern. This is the way to do it. Here is the right way. Sit still. Complete the front side. Number your paper. Do as I say. Raise your hand before speaking. Put your name at the top. I give this a 95%. Follow the classroom rules. Be engaged. Keep your eyes on your page. Choose A, B, or C. I talk, you learn. You're following my lesson plan. My classroom.
Little words. Tiny phrases. Together? They create fences that keep our kids in one safe spot where learning and exploring become all about what we say to do. Fences that keep kids from learning.
What do you think? How will this work? What way would work best? Where would you like to work? How does this show me what you have learned? I'm listening. We learn together. Our learning environment.
Little words. Tiny phrases. Simple body language. Together? They open the gates to the world. Real problems. Authentic learning. Thinking. A place where learning becomes about the students and their thinking and engagement happens, even when the gates are wide open. No, it happens because the gates are wide open.

An osteotomy uses is a procedure where the surgeon cuts the bone and then reorients the bone. There are two basic types of osteotomies: closing wedge, where a wedge of bone is removed to change the alignment of the bone; and, opening wedge, where bone is gapped open on one side to realign the bone. Depending on the type of deformity and the location of your osteotomy, your surgeon will choose one of these options.
Once the bone is cut and subsequently realigned, your surgeon may choose to use a metal plate and screws to hold the bones in the new position.
How long is the recovery from a knee osteotomy?
The recovery from a knee osteotomy can be difficult. Because the bone is cut, it needs time to heal. The total healing time is at least 8 weeks, and can take longer. Most patients need physical therapy to regain their knee motion.
What are the complications of knee osteotomy surgery?
The most common problem with this surgery is that it almost always fails over time. Now, if you can feel better for nearly a decade, and delay knee replacement surgery, it may be well worth it. However, it is not uncommon for patients to require conversion to knee replacement within a few years of the surgery.
Orthopedic surgeons also face the problem of performing the surgery in a manner that will not make a subsequent knee replacement surgery more difficult. Finding a doctor experienced in this procedure is a good idea.
Other potential complications include problems with healing of the osteotomy (a nonunion), continued pain from arthritis, blood clots, and infection.
How successful is this surgery?
When done in the right patients, knee osteotomies are usually successful at decreasing pain caused by arthritis. They surgery tends to last about 8 to 10 years, and after that time, many patients will require total knee replacement. In a large group of patients, knee osteotomy gives good to excellent results in about:
- 80% of patients for 5 years
- 50% of patients for 10 years
- 30% of patients for 20 years

Dick Martin is the superintendent of Death Valley National Park:
"In my mind,
(rangers) are heroes. Once in a while they have to tell someone to
do something they don't want to hear, but, by and large, they're
heroes. They respond to people in need, they get up out of bed to
help people in trouble, whether it's a medical emergency or whether
people are stuck in a ditch or out of gas. The staff goes to heroic
levels in resource protection efforts, in dealing with wilderness
protection and road concerns. As far as I'm concerned, the staff
has been doing everything to dedicate themselves to whatever it is
the American public wants them to do."

Oceanus Resources Corp. (TSXV:OCN) announced the details of this year's exploration program for its Mexico-based La Lajita gold property, commenting that field crews are currently preparing the drill sites, with exploration and drilling due to start in Q2.
The company also plans to conduct a private placement financing aimed at raising as much as $1,500,000.
As quoted in the press release:
Oretest SpA Drilling Services has been contracted to conduct the drilling. Priority drilling targets are the high-grade Santa Nino clavos and the Dos Hermanos zone, both of which returned excellent results from the first round of drilling in 2013. Continuity of the structure between these targets has been demonstrated from the combination of surface and underground channel sampling and diamond drilling. The objective of the 2014 proposed core drilling program is to test for high-grade gold both along strike and down dip at the Santo Nino and Dos Hermanos zones. Five to ten drill holes are planned for each target.

So, many in the media as well as many of the Viking faithful are getting nervous. Why? Because they feel like the Vikings have a team that looks to be a superbowl contender. For some reason this realization brings with it a panic that "This might be our ony shot!!!" and "If we don't do it this year we are gonna be too old!!!"
Yes, it is true we may be a QB away from being superbowl favorites, but the real name of the game is not "Quick trade away everything for a decent QB under 30!!" but rather keep drafting the best athletes that you can and watch your team grow with roots strong enough to be a dynasty! The Patriots made no blockbuster deals with their team. Neither has the Steelers.
On the contrary, teams like the Cowboys trading for Roy Williams, and now likely, the Bears for trading for Jay Cutler have made themselves boom or bust for one season in many ways. Overpaying to patch up holes in your team leads to a weak foundation. Unless the patch turns out to be truly great (see Jared Allen) then your team ends up bad for quite a while.
People say the Vikes are getting too old and need to try to win it now. Well, one of those pro bowl players who got too old was Darren Sharper. He's gone now and does anyone think we're worse off at the position? Not really. We might be better even because we DRAFTED a replacement for him. Winfield and Pat Williams will be next to be replaced as they are getting up there, but we will do so, and at some point this team will have a QB who is a solid starter. Maybe its Sage Rosenfels or maybe its our 1st round pick in 2010 that we will have because we didn't trade for Cutler.
Long story short we can feel confident that the Vikes will be worth watching for a long time to come beacuse of good personnel moves by the front office.
Bears?.........not so much.....
Best of luck this year Chicago. It might be your only shot.

Cyber Monday is upon us, and I for one love taking part in this fairly new tradition. Black Friday has me running for the hills. After being unable to find a parking spot at 11 a.m. at one of the largest outlet centers on the East Coast one Black Friday, I have never returned to the stores, regardless of how big the deals are. But searching the Internet for steals from the comfort of my home takes the bah-humbug out of the holiday shopping adventure. I did, however, learn a few tricks early this morning as I shopped my way through the Internet for gifts for my husband, son, and some other relatives. Here are my new rules for Cyber Monday (which might come in handy later today or next year):
1. Don't wait until later in the day. The hottest deals go fast, and the stores do run out. You can get rain checks in some cases, but you might not get the gifts you want in time for the holidays. Frankly, that just doesn't work for me. I want to be able to wrap up a nice package and put it under my tree, especially for my husband and son.
2. Only shop at stores that offer free shipping. So many of the stores offer free shipping that it is silly to waste time and money making purchases at stores that don't. You can find something just as good at a store that flips the bill for mailing it. (Some stores offer free ship to store and then you pick up your package at your local store, which is a great idea, too, if you often find yourself in the area of that store.)
3. Take time to really look at what's available. Shopping on the Internet is not the same as shopping at a store, where you can walk in, see what catches your eye or head to the sales rack. While some sales are front and center on Cyber Monday, you have to search for what you want. Use search terms or click through the categories that most stores make available to you. Click on the "Sale, Clearance, and Final Sale" links that many stores have.
4. Don't get hung up on all the gift craziness. When shopping for loved ones, especially your husband or wife, be thoughtful. Seek out meaningful presents and don't feel as though you have to spend your life savings. After all, the free gifts - kisses, hugs, support, a shoulder to lean on, love are far more precious than anything you can buy.

3.65/5 rDev -1.9%
12oz can into Ommegang BPA glass.
Pours an dark orange/amber with a medium sized fluffly off-white head. Smell is bright sticky citrus of the tangerine variety (some pine) and a hint of resin. Towards the extra hoppy side for an IPA. Taste starts with the citrus hops followed by a slightly musky malt. Nice and bitter. Mouthfeel is somewhat oily and medium in body and carb.
The strong hoppiness and somewhat odd malt give this IPA a certain strong sharpness that I'm not crazy about. There's a hop oil stickiness that is interesting as well. Worth a try for the west coast hop heads.

3.04/5 rDev -18.3%
12 fl oz aluminum can with appealing label art acquired as part of a 6 pack for $13.00 USD at the Growler Room and served into an Independence Brewing pilsner glass in me gaff in low altitude Austin, Texas. Reviewed live. Expectations are above average given the brewery. Reviewed as an IPA because it identifies as such in the name and on the label. No ABV is listed on the can. No best before/brewed on date. Bottom of can says "241K-3 03508." "Dry hopped."
Served cold - straight from me fridge. Side-poured with standard vigor as no carbonation issues are anticipated.
A: No bubble show forms as I pour.
Pours a three finger wide head of khaki colour. Nice creaminess and thickness. No lacing clings to the sides of the glass as the head recedes. Head retention is good - about 6-7 minutes.
Body colour is a clear orange-copper of above average vibrance. Translucent/transparent. No yeast particles are visible.
Overall, it's pretty standard fare for the style and ABV. Not unique or special, but there are no obvious flaws. I'm looking forward to trying it.
Sm: Pine, light onion (amarillo/simcoe methinks), floral hop character, herbal hop character, caramalt, pale malt, and biscuit malts. Not as resinous as you might expect. The caramalt mutes any citrus; I'm not getting the orange or grapefruit I expected. A bit buttery. The malts counteract the hops a bit more than is necessary; I do like the hoppy edge - especialy the pine, but the hop choices don't seem ideal based on the aroma alone. A pleasant hoppy aroma of mild strength.
No yeast character or alcohol is detectable. No off-notes.
T: Hop bitterness is nicely concealed by the malty sweetness for the most part. It got a nice piney edge, which is the dominant hop note (to its benefit). Floral, herbal, and vague citrusy hop notes are in there too. Pale malts, caramalts, pilsner malts, and some biscuit malts comprise the foundation. It's by no means a gestalt beer, but it has cohesion and decent balance. Lightly oniony. Could use more complexity and subtlety, but then so could most beers. It's fairly complex as-is, which I respect.
Depth of flavour is average for the style, as is duration of flavour. Intensity of flavour is slightly below average for the style.
No yeast character or alcohol comes through. I don't get any overt off-flavours either. As far as my personal tastes go, I'm not finding the naked hop bitterness and warm tropical pineapple notes I despise in an IPA. It could be more resinous. Hop choices aren't great.
Mf: Coarsens on the climax due to the hop bitterness, but it's otherwise smooth and wet. Unrefreshing. Sticky. Lightly oily. A bit buttery. Crisp. Overcarbonated, with a bit of a bite. Not as approachable as many beers in the style. Decent body and presence on the palate. Suits the flavour profile decently, but doesn't come across custom-tailored to it.
A bit abrasive, but otherwise not too flawed. Far from ideal for the style.
Dr: A downable little IPA from Karbach. At this price point, it's not worth getting again. I'm also asserting that it's more affordable in Houston, but I still doubt I'd pick it up again. There're some nice elements here, but it's by no means a world-class IPA. Slightly above average. I wouldn't recommend it to friends or trade partners.
The resinous pine note was a highlight for me. The onion, hop bitterness, and overcarbonated biting mouthfeel will be a downside for many.
Store cold.
Might pair decently with spicy food.

On tap at Christian's Tailgate in Houston.
The beer pours an orange color with a large, creamy, long-lasting white head. The aroma is full of toffee and orange citrus notes, with the two appearing pretty much in balance. A little maltier than I like in an IPA, but still nice.
The flavor is more hoppy than the aroma. I get a lot of pine and orange citrus notes, as well as some biscuit malt which keeps the beer from being too bitter. The hops and malt are well balanced, but the hop flavor still does a good job of coming through and standing out.
Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

I am trying the Hopadillo during an unplanned layover in Houston at Ruby's diner in Terminal E. The beer has poured a clear copper amber with thin white head that is leaving a nice lacing. The scent carries fresh hop that is leaning toward bitter than what is traditionally expected fro American IPAs. The taste is bitter through the drink, but not to the point where ira undrinkable. There is enough malt to balance the beer making it sessionable. In addition a bitter citrus, grapefruit, is present. The mouthfeel is medium body with smooth carbonation. Overall this is a very drinkable ipa.

Embassy employee Fitz Robinson writes about his home community in Brooklyn, NY.
As a Jamaican-American giving thought to Black History month, it gives me reason to reflect on how our communities help shape us as individuals.
As a Jamaican-American giving thought to Black History month, it gives me reason to reflect on how our communities help shape us as individuals.
I feel fortunate to have lived in several cities within and outside the United States. It is my opinion that Brooklyn, New York is one of the most culturally diverse, ethnically mixed and intellectually provoking communities I have lived in. Based on the 2010 census, there are approximately 2.5 million people living in Brooklyn, NY, 33% of whom identify themselves as African-American and live in highly concentrated "black" neighborhoods. Roughly 17% of Brooklyn's African-Americans claim Caribbean roots. For several years, I lived in Flatbush, where a large population of Jamaicans, Trinidadians, Haitians and splinters of other races and ethnicities all lived together. I also lived in Crown Heights, where a large population of Caribbean Americans, an even larger population of Orthodox Jews, and a "mixed bag" of other races and ethnic groups called home.
Growing up, I was exposed to this fusion of cultures, but more importantly, I was exposed to good role models and leaders within the community. These were people who cared about the community. Mamadu, a single mother of Haitian descent, raised five boys by herself, all of whom turned out to become highly successful professionals. Besides encouraging them to live their life potential, she encouraged them to give back to their community. Today, they all live blocks away from the home in which they were raised and are strong members of their community.
I guess it is fair to say that the areas of Brooklyn where I grew up were a bit impoverished and lacked any sense of affluence. However, these places had an identity. They had integrity. It didn't matter that most of the people I interacted with were blue collared, because we all looked out for each other and we called Brooklyn home. Furthermore, there is a certain expectation from someone who claims Brooklyn roots. You are expected to have a can-do- attitude even when others see non-negotiable obstacles. It was this vibrant community that helped shape me into the person I am today.


text: It's been reported that OT Matthews is returning to Texas A&M next year & that he will not be entering this years draft. Well now the big/top 4 OTs in draft just became the top 3. OUCH. What does that do the Rams chances of trying to get a top OT at 16 in the draft? The teams that are supposedly OT hungry this year in the draft are Philly, AZ, Chgrs & Phins all who pick in front of us at 4, 7, 11 & 12 respectively. Philly has lots of needs & may not draft Joeckel as projected. AZ may go QB. Chgrs seem to be a "lock" to go OT. If Miami lets Jake Long walk they are a high risk to go OT, but they could also go WR. Should we roll the dice & hope one of the big 3 fall to us at 16, or try to move up in front of Chgrs & Phins to get an OT? I will post the link below for the source on Matthews.NEW INFO 1/9/13: Taylor Lewan has announced that he is returning to MI for his senior year. Now another top OT is off the board, making it very unlikely that a top OT will be there for us @ 16. Only Joeckel & Fisher are rated high enough to warrant a pick @ 16. Others would be a reach @ 16. So what now? I will post the link for my source below.

I've been saying for a while now this 2013 draft class is a tough one to gauge. I'm not alone in thinking so too, as you'll see when you watch CBS Sports' Pat Kirwan offer his views on player prospects after pick #15.
The truly draft savvy among you may agree or disagree with me, but I can't help but compare this draft class to the one in 2009. We have top tackles like Luke Joeckle and Eric Fisher viewed as their position's best prospects, but could one of them wind up being a "Jason Smith"? The quarterback class looks a bit like 2009 too, with some first round reaches by desperate teams destined to happen. Matt Stafford would headline his year's class though, and seeing Geno Smith as the top QB this year has me shaking my head...
This draft has a muddle of talent, with few really being remarkable when compared to other draft classes. Yes, I think there are a few potential stars who will be taken in the top 10 or 12 picks, but after that?
Teams with great scouting departments are going to win in this draft. Kirwan and Gil Brandt - who's been around so many drafts, that in his first one Socrates went #1 overall - think there isn't much separation between pick #15 to #51. I agree, but I also think this presents a huge opportunity for NFL teams. The second round of the 2013 NFL draft is where teams are going to succeed or fail, and you might want to include the top of the 3rd round too.
I'll be watching the teams with multiple 2nd round choices: Miami, Cincinnati, and San Francisco. They have the draft "cha-ching" to move around the post #10 pick area at will. Interestingly enough, if you follow this line of thought, the St. Louis Rams are in the same position too. With picks at #16 and #22, plus #46 in the second round, the Rams have some serious draft capital to splash around if they find a player they truly want in the first round.
While I'm not sure Les Snead and Jeff Fisher truly have a single draft prospect they've fallen in love with this year, there are positional needs which could drive them to a "Best Player Available" line of thought. The safety class this year is deep, and I'm talking 3rd or 4th round deep too. If this is the case, I think most Mock Drafts we've seen are a bit off when it comes to the Rams. How many Mocks have the Rams taking Kenny Vacarro at #16? LOTS! I wouldn't be shocked to see the Rams trade down into the 3rd round to find a quality safety, and they'll be there too.
Next weekend, Turf Show Times will host one of the largest "LIVE" Mock Drafts of the year. It will pit draft savvy NFL fans against one of the toughest draft classes I've ever seen, especially in the second round. I wouldn't be shocked at all to hear NFL scouting departments are watching this Mock Draft. While their player opinions may differ from the MtD crowd, they'd love to see if one of the war rooms hits on a trade variant that could make sense for the big show in New York City the following weekend.
So if you want to be a NFL Draft savant, start paying less attention to the first round of the NFL draft, and look a bit deeper. Buried treasure is what you're looking for, and it's time to start digging.

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish hadn't lost since midway through January, going on a 9-game winning streak that included wins over Syracuse, UConn and Marquette. Call it a case of looking ahead--the Irish will visit the No. 9 Georgetown Hoyas on Monday--but on Saturday they were nowhere near as sharp as they have been, going 4-for-31 from behind the 3-point arc in a 61-58 loss to the St. John's Red Storm.
The Red Storm never trailed after going up 3-0 on a Sir'Dominic Pointer 3-pointer just 25 seconds into the game. From there, Moe Harkless took over. He led the Red Storm with 12 points in the first half, and 22 overall on 8-for-16 shooting. He also went 5-for-7 from the free throw line, helping St. John's to a 10-point advantage solely from the charity stripe.
Jack Cooley led the Irish with 18 points on the day. Not surprisingly, all of his points came on a 7-for-10 performance from inside the 3-point line. Jerian Grant and Eric Atkins went a combined 1-for-10 from long range for seven total points. Pat Connaughton came off the bench and struggled mightily, going 1-for-9 on his treys and just 3-for-12 for the game.
Notre Dame was able to force 16 turnovers to keep the game tight, but ultimately their awful shooting performance was their undoing. After the Hoyas, the Irish will finish up their regular season at home against Providence. The Red Storm improved to 13-16 on the year. They will play at Pittsburgh on Wednesday and will visit the following Saturday.

Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant, Financial Statements and Exhibits
Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Audit and Finance Committee (the "Audit Committee") of the Board of Directors of West Marine, Inc. (the "Company"), recently completed a competitive process to determine which audit firm would serve as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 28, 2013 ("FYE 2013"). As a result of such process, on and effective as of August 5, 2013, the Audit Committee determined to dismiss Grant Thornton LLP ("Grant Thornton") as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. Grant Thornton was advised of their dismissal that same day.
The reports of Grant Thornton on the Company's consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 29, 2012 ("FYE 2012") and December 31, 2011 ("FYE 2011") did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During FYE 2012 and FYE 2011 and for the subsequent interim period through August 5, 2013, there were no "disagreements" (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) with Grant Thornton on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to Grant Thornton's satisfaction, would have caused Grant Thornton to make reference thereto in its reports on the consolidated financial statements for such years, and there have been no "reportable events" (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
The Company provided Grant Thornton with a copy of the above disclosures and requested a letter from Grant Thornton addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating that it agrees with the above disclosures. A copy of such letter from Grant Thornton, dated August 9, 2013 is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Engagement of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On August 5, 2013, the Audit Committee appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") as the Company's new independent registered public accounting firm to perform independent audit services for the remainder of FYE 2013.
During the Company's FYE 2011 and FYE 2012, and for the subsequent interim period through August 5, 2013 (the date on which PwC was appointed), neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted with PwC regarding either: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered with respect to the Company's consolidated financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided to the Company by PwC that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a "disagreement" (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a "reportable event" (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
PwC did provide, and continues to provide, tax services to the Company and its subsidiaries, including preparation of the federal and state tax returns for FYE 2011 and FYE 2012. The Audit Committee has approved the tax services that PwC provides the Company in accordance with applicable SEC independence rules.
(a) Not applicable.
(b) Not applicable
(c) Not applicable.
(d) Not applicable.
16.1 Letter from Grant Thornton LLP to the Securities and Exchange Commission dated August 9, 2013.

New Platform Report on Uganda's Draft Oil Law 08.03.12
The report – entitled "The Ugandan Upstream oil law: A search in vain for accountability and democratic oversight", highlights the lack of parliamentary oversight, transparency, or consultation or involvement of affected communities in the proposed oil law. At the same time, the Bill does include clauses that restrict information flow and could potentially threaten or close down public debate.
Oversight and accountability to Parliament of these activities is virtually nil. The only provisions for dialogue with Parliament are that the annual report & accounts of the Petroleum Authority will be submitted to Parliament, and that the Authority will submit an annual statement detailing the monies received from royalties.
This is insufficient to ensure effective governance. Moreover, the Bill does not guarantee Parliament any leverage or the ability to demand answers.
Good practice requires that contracts and petroleum production licenses be approved by Parliament, and listed in parliamentary registers. It is unclear why such procedures are not being followed here.
The Bill fails to guarantee wider transparency. The only commitments are general, ie the Minister shall be "promoting and sustaining transparency in the oil and gas sector" and the Authority "ensure transparency in relation to the activities of the petroleum sector and the Authority". There is a clause to make information available to the public, although it remains at the discretion of the Minister. Given the past experience of Ugandan government attempts to hinder transparency, such commitments remain unpromising without clear and detailed commitments. This is especially so given the restrictions on the publication of data, and the lack of protection for whistle-blowers highlighting wrong-doing.
There is a crucial lack of consultation and involvement of affected communities, or the public as a whole. Although there are a few references to time-periods during which communities can submit objections, this does not equate to the active consultation processes necessary for actual consent. Moreover, there are very limited opportunities for communities to input anyhow, e.g. into petroleum production licenses.
Some of the clauses relating to "offences" have been formulated so that they are vague and general enough that they threaten future public debate on these issues, by creating the potential for a clampdown on those attempting to shine light and share material.
Download the Draft Oil Bill on which this analysis is based – dated 28th October 2011.
Past Platform reports on Uganda include "'Contracts Curse: Uganda's oil agreements place profit before people"

Interstate 10 is open again in Moss Point. The city's police chief says wreckage from a multi-car pileup has been cleared off the interstate. And cars are rolling again through Moss Point and Pascagoula.
Officers and tow truck teams have been at that scene since 5:45 this morning. They responded to a multi-car wreck.
According to police, two people died in the series of collisions. According to Chief Keith Davis, the victims apparently got out of their damaged vehicles just before sunrise, and got hit by oncoming traffic.
Three other people were taken to the hospital with what appears to be non-life threatening injuries. As many as five cars were involved in the wreck near the 68 mile marker.
WLOX News has a crew on the scene and is learning more about the accident. Look for details later today on TV and on line.

Former Auburn basketball star and football fan Charles Barkley does not think much of the LSU and Alabama fans.
AL.com reports Barkley was on 'The Dan Patrick Show' and did not hold back his opinion of the two schools' fans.
"Once you go to Auburn, you're part of the family," he said. "It's a really special bond. I know everyone says that, but it's unique when you're from Alabama and you have to deal with Alabama fans who have a great program. Once you go to Auburn, you're part of the program for life."
"Listen, other than LSU and Alabama fans most of the SEC fans are cool," he added.
Click below to check out Barkley on 'The Dan Patrick Show.' LSU makes the conversation around the 1:00 mark.
