The options for providing user connectivity to the Internet are given below:
1. Terminal Dialup/Modem (Shell connection)
- Most common option
- User requirements limited to modem and communications software
- Text-only access
- Shell accounts were more popular before the advent of the Web. A shell account lets you use your computer much as if it were a virtual console associated with a remote computer. You can type commands, which are interpreted by the remote computer, and view the resulting output on your computer. Although a few web browsers, such as Lynx, can operate via a shell account, they don't generally support the highly graphical, multimedia pages which web surfers have come to expect.
2. SLIP (Serial Line Internet Protocol)
- Computer is treated as though it were directly connected for the period it is online
- Utilizes telephone lines
- User must have modem, TCP software, SLIP software, & software for Internet applications
- Multimedia access
3. PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol)
- Computer is treated as though it were directly connected for the period it is online
- Utilizes telephone lines
- User must have modem, TCP software, PPP software, & software for Internet applications
- Multimedia access
- While your computer is connected to the Internet, you can use it to surf the
Web with your favorite browser. If your ISP allows, you can even run a
web server, providing pages that can be viewed by others around the
4. ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network)
- Most often used to connect remote telecommuters to office LANs
- Requires ISDN phone line access
- Faster than analog terminal dialup/modem service
- User must have ISDN phone line, ISDN card, communications software,
TCP software & SLIP or PPP software multimedia connectivity
- The DIAS offers a wire-line solution for high speed symmetrical Internet
access on the existing telephone lines. It provides an "always on" internet
access that is permanently available at customer's premises. DIAS
combines voice and internet data packets on a single twisted pair wire at
subscriber premises that means you can use telephone and surf internet at
the same time.
6. Cable Modem
- The term "Cable Modem" is quite new and refers to a modem that operates over the ordinary cable TV network cables. Basically you just connect the Cable Modem to the TV outlet for your cable TV, and the cable TV operator connects a Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) in his end (the Head-End).
- Actually the term "Cable Modem" is a bit misleading, as a Cable Modem works more like a Local Area Network (LAN) interface than as a modem.
- In a cable TV system, signals from the various channels are each given a 6-MHz slice of the cable's available bandwidth and then sent down the cable to your house. When a cable company offers Internet access over the cable, Internet information can use the same cables because the cable modem system puts downstream data – data sent from the Internet to an individual computer – into a 6-MHz channel. On the cable, the data looks just like a TV channel. So Internet downstream data takes up the same amount of cable space as any single channel of programming. Upstream data – information sent from an individual back to the Internet – requires even less of the cable's bandwidth, just 2 MHz, since the assumption is that most people download far more information than they upload.
- Putting both upstream and downstream data on the cable television system requires two types of equipment: a cable modem on the customer end and a cable modem termination system (CMTS) at the cable provider's end. Between these two types of equipment, all the computer networking, security and management of Internet access over cable television is put into place.
7. Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) connection.
DSL is a very high-speed connection that uses the same wires as a regular telephone line.
Here areare some advantages of DSL:
1. You can leave your Internet connection open and still use thephone line for voice calls.
2. The speed is much higher than a regular modem
3. DSL doesn't necessarily require new wiring; it can use the phoneline you already have.
4. The company that offers DSL (e.g. BSNL) will usually provide themodem as part of the installation.
But there are disadvantages:
1. A DSL connection works better when you are closer to theprovider's central office.
2. The service is not available everywhere. Other types of DSL include:
1. Asymmetric DSL (ADSL) line – The connection is faster for receiving data than it is for sending data over the Internet
2. Very high bit-rate DSL (VDSL) – This is a fast connection, but works only over a short distance.
3. Symmetric DSL (SDSL) – This connection, used mainly by small businesses, doesn't allow you to use the phone at the same time, but the speed of receiving and sending data is the same.
4. Rate-adaptive DSL (RADSL) – This is a variation of ADSL, but the modem can adjust the speed of the connection depending on the length and quality of the line.
8. Direct Connection (Leased circuit)
Most often used to connect sites within a specific organization; such as a university or business requires owning or leasing of cable (from 64 kbps to 1345 Mb) users typically connected via Ethernet LANs multimedia connectivity at its fastest.
9. Satellite connections
This connection allows you to download Internet files via a satellite connection. This is an efficient method for receiving large Web graphics and other items, but you still need a modem connection for other features. You must purchase the connection hardware as well as subscribe to the service.
10. Wireless connections
Pagers, cellular phones and personal digital assistants (PDAs) now allow varying levels of Internet access, from notification of E-mail to limited Web connections. Many of these services remain in the experimental stage.
The PPP connection is called as TCP/IP connection or PSTN dial-up connection. ISDN connection is called as ISDN dial-up connection. Cable Modem, DSL and Direct Connection are always-on connection.

Meth lab busts in Indiana are up, and in our counties, they seem to be holding steady compared to last year.
Indiana State Police now say the Electronic Tracking Log for the sale of pseudoephedrine isn't working.
"No longer are we finding these elaborate setups in old barns and farm houses," said Posey Co. Sheriff Greg Oeth.
Oeth says the meth situation is turning urban. Labs are being found in crowded neighborhoods, like Friday in a mobile home park in Mt. Vernon.
833 labs were found in the state last year. This year, there's already been 938. The numbers in the Evansville region are holding steady.
State Police say these totals only show cases they worked. These numbers will likely go up once local police departments report their stats.
Niki Crawford with the Indiana State Police says one thing is clear: the electronic pseudoephedrine tracking log for the sale of pseudoephedrine isn't stopping meth cooks.
"It looks like it's not doing much to prevent our meth labs," Crawford said.
Crawford says the users are using fake ID's, some pharmacies aren't double checking ID's, and cooks are getting creative.
"There's so many ways to get around the purchase to solidating a number of friends and you can still get the product," said Oeth.
Indiana State Police say with the number of people now buying the pseudoephedrine at pharmacies it's getting very hard to investigate.
Local authorities say the only thing that is going to truly stop meth is to put more restrictions on pseudoephedrine.
"If we put it back into a prescription that is going to have a tremendous impact on the manufacturing process," said Oeth.
If there is any good news, Vanderburgh County is not number one as of now. State police have worked the most labs in Madison County this year.
But officials say bust worked by just the Evansville Drug Task Force are not yet in these statistics and could push Vanderburgh County back up to number one.

Former Martha Stewart Living Exec Now Oversees Edible Feast
Could 62-year-old Eric Thorkilsen, formerly with Martha Stewart Living and This Old House magazine, show AOL's Patch the way it should have been scaled? That's one of the underlying and very intriguing questions that frames Tim Loh's recent piece in Greenwich Time about the Edible Feast CEO.
From a home office in New Canann, CT with a great view, Thorkilsen watches over a network of 90 U.S. and Canadian regional magazines covering the topic of locally grown, farm-to-table food. The company launched a decade ago in Ojai, CA as Edible Communities; Thorkilsen bought a controlling interest last year and currently manages a virtual staff of 15. There's also a 13-episode PBS spinoff in the pipeline:
"We're trying to be the go-to, first leader in this space," Thorkilsen says. "If we do our job right, we'll be important to the marketers that want to reach those households. And it's not just about food, it's about the cars they drive, it's about the appliances they have, the kitchen cabinets they buy. It's everything."

This review hasn't been rated yet.
If you've got 3 and a half hours to have dinner on a school night, then by all means drop into Newman Street Tavern. It takes 20 minutes for our first drink, a toffee apple cocktail, to arrive as we wait in the (not very busy) bar downstairs. It was delicious but I suppose thirst is a potent tonic. It takes us a while to order food once we're all gathered upstairs, partly because we confusingly get 3 menus each, partly because there is a great range of tempting fish and meat dishes (not much for veggies btw!), and partly because it takes an age for the staff to come. Sadly my meal wasn't really worth the wait. I had almost finished the glass of manzanilla which was supposed to "go" with my starter by the time that actually arrived and could have done with another, or better yet something stronger, to wash down the ham which was disappointingly one part treacle cured to 99 parts salt. All I can remember of my main (some sort of seafood pie) is the final mouthful of slimy white fish which ruined an otherwise OK, bisque-y flavoured dish. The boys chose wisely ordering Monday's speciality: an amazing steak which absolutely melts in the mouth. But the triple cooked chips it came with? Either the restauranteurs are just jumping on the "triple-cooked" bandwagon here thinking we won't notice that these are bog-standard fries instead of super duper crunchy on the outside, fluffy on the inside chunks of starchy heaven as invented by Heston or they were running so behind they didn't have time for all 3 cooking stages. Desserts were interesting but not worth missing the last tube home for. The atmosphere is very "Fitzrovia" (arty shots of What You're About to Eat Before It Was Killed on the walls) so it's not a bad place to spend a protracted evening with friends. Just don't come if you've got an early morning meeting the next day.

So my second post on this blog (http://www.collegetips.com/blog/packing-for-vacation-110) here had to do with how to pack if you're on a vacation, which I actually already did a follow up to about two months ago here: http://www.collegetips.com/blog/traveling-tips-681, so I won't do a third one, until I actually go on another trip, which won't be for a while, because I'm seriously broke. The next time I MIGHT be taking a plane or maybe even a bus will not be probably until March or October, when there are Walt Disney World Auditions in San Francisco.
My third post after that was titled Meeting the Disneyland Ambassadors: http://www.collegetips.com/blog/meeting-the-disneyland-ambassadors-128. Since then, Disneyland has chosen two new ambassadors, both of them are women and they both worked in my department! I actually briefly met one of them! Anyways, it's still my dream to become an Ambassador and it would be a dream come true if I could be the next one. The Ambassadors serve for two years, if my memory is serving me correctly right now, so the next ones won't be picked until fall of 2014. I have some time to take the course that Disneyland offers and then make sure that I don't have any late points and then apply for it. I want it so badly! I have time because I'm only 21. My old roommate is 27 now and she wants it pretty badly too! But I feel like if she's that much older than me and is still trying, I can too and I have much more time than her!

What would you do if the Internet were a million times faster? Hard to imagine the possibility isn't it? Well that's one potential for a future technology – "Silicon Photonics" – a technology that uses everyday silicon to send and receive optical information among computers for faster, smaller, more energy efficient and much cheaper communications components than ever before.Why is it important? As processor core count keeps climbing, transfer of massive amounts of data will be essential for future computers. Heavy-duty computing applications such as doctors who are diagnosing and treating patients in remote villages or for lifelike 3-D virtual worlds will require ultra-fast data transfer. We spent some time at the Intel Museum in Hillsboro, Oregon talking to some local fifth graders about the exciting research Intel is doing in this field. See their enthusiastic response! Photos, videos and more facts.

Should we encourage our child to believe in Santa?
My husband and I are trying to decide what to tell our son about Santa Claus. I still recall how hurt I was when I learned as a young child that my parents had lied to me about this. Our son is too young to know the difference now, but my husband and I both love Christmastime and we want it to be special for him without having to lie to him in the years to come.

we will tell our DD the story of the first St. Nic....and how he has come to represent the spirit of giving....but will focus on the TRUE meaning of the season from our Christian standpoint....that Jesus was born of a virgin and lived a perfect, sinless life...and died on the cross to save us from our sins....and we must do all we can to tell others of this: THE MOST MIRACULOUS GIFT ever given!! BTW-my parents NEVER told me santa was real....but we loved the "magic" of Christmas without lies....it was and still is my favorite time of yearposted 11/28/2005 by tpiatt
How can you ever teach your children NOT to lie to you but YOU as the parent they are meant to put all their trust in - LIES to them about fictional pagan characters! Think about this carefully. What is more important to you - conforming to society or having a trustworthy relationship with the most important human in your life.?posted 11/28/2005 by onejoh
Any intelligent parent will investigate the facts & PROVE xmas has NOTHING to do with Jesus Christ's birth but everything to do with Pagan worship. We did & are happy to have never celebrated this festival. We love each other & give gifts all year through. THAT is true love - constant.posted 11/28/2005 by onejoh
You can enjoy fiction w/out believing it is real! My children love the stories of Christmas, they love the movie "Polar Express", but I don't tell them it's real because it's not. That doesn't make Christmas any less enjoyable. If anything, Christmas is even more exciting, and will continue to be, because it's a birthday celebration. Also want to point out that children that don't believe that Santa is real, they aren't going to "ruin" it for your disillusioned children, you should know since you are an adult how wonderfully easy it is to believe a lie once you start at such a young age! SOMETHING ELSE for you PRO santa people to think about is: YOUR children may not be EXACTLY like you are, and they may be the child that gets deeply hurt & affected by this lie, as many many other children have in the past. I don't see anything wrong with enjoying the fiction of Santa, just like enjoying the fiction of Pinnochio or Peter Pan.....but Santa isn't real so why lie every year to your child about it? But if you do, I don't think it's going to do any real significant damage, I'm sure most of the damage will be due to quarreling adults that don't know how to have a civil discussion...or maybe the divorce that is so popular and rampant, or that funny Uncle that likes to visit your kids, or that slight drinking or pill popping problem that you seem to have picked up since your Man left you....posted 11/28/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
In my home we celebrated both Santa coming and the birth of Jesus. We read the Bible story together, and we also looked forward to Santa coming. Plus, my parents never told us there was no Santa, we figured it out on our own and it never bothered us. Actually, to this day my parents still act like there is a Santa, even though we know it isn't true. I think you just need to find the right balance.posted 11/28/2005 by NWohlander
I think that whatever you choose to do is exactly that...your choice. He's your child, don't let anyone else tell you what is right for him. If you don't want him to feel lied to in years to come, then don't start. However, remember, there will come a day when he goes to school with other children who do believe in Santa Claus. And then he may wonder why he is the only person who Santa doesn't visit. I honestly agree that I also felt that my parents lied to me about it, but with further thought as I have my own child now, I realize that they only did it to make me enjoy Christmas that much more (with the added bonus of "Santa won't come if you aren't good" when my brother and I weren't being good! lol). The thought that magic is a possibility makes things better. And I personally intend to raise my son to believe in Santa because I would prefer to keep him innocent as long as possible. In the meantime, as long as you feel you're doing what's best for your family, that is all that is important. Just make the choice that's right for you and inform your families that this is what you're doing and you would appreciate their support.posted 11/28/2005 by Crystal_Murphy
I so remember my father finally scolding me and belittling me for still "believing" in Santa Clause and it hurt me so deeply. I felt I was doing it more for my little brother than anything and that's why I was trying to keep the Santa thing going. I never really believed and KNEW my parents were always behind it. It's such a farce to make your children believe in something "magical" when it does nothing more than make them expect more presents from someone they don't even know! It's ALL due to the commercialization of Christmas and this family will have nothing to do with it!posted 11/27/2005 by Beachsidepad

ALANA MOM OF 3, I can't help but notice how angry and mad you sound. Are you sure you are doing the santa thing for your children? Or is it possible that your anger stems from a deep seated childhood resentment when you found out that the big santa lie was just a game your parents thought was fun???? And that the character that you had put all your faith and love into was 'dead'.posted 11/01/2005 by woodcraft4u
THIS WORLD IS GOIGN TO HELL!! Everyone has to be politiclly correct now a days. And we owe all our problems to our parents. WHAAA!!! So we shouldn't lie to our children? We should tell them when we can't pay our bills so they understand hardship right? We shouldn't keep things from them. So when my daughter asks why she's diffrent then her daddy (at 3 years old) I should tell the truth and say her REAL dad wanted me to have an abortion? GIVE ME A BREAK PEOPLE! SANTA IS FUN IT'S FOR KIDS. LET THEM ENJOY THEIR YOUTH. IMAGINATION ONLY LASTS SO LONG. YOU GROW UP AND HAVE REAL PROBLEMS AS AN ADULT. LET KIDS BE KIDS. SANTA COMES TO OUR CHURCH EVERY YEAR. I DOUBT JESUS MINDS! MAYBE WE'LL GO TO HELL FOR BELIEVING IN SANTA BUT THATS NOT SOMETHING A CHILD SHOULD HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT. THEY CAN QUESTION THINGS WHEN THEIR OLD! HAVE FUN NOW. IT'S AS MUCH FOR THEM AS IT IS FOR ME. I LOVE PUTTING OUT PRESENTS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE SO AGAINST IT NEED TO GET A LIFE. IT'S ONCE A YEAR GET OVER YOURSELF!! GOOD GOD.

When David Wozniak (Patrick Huard) discovers that the thousands of dollars worth of sperm he donated in his late teens has made him the father of 533 children, it's hard to know whether to chalk it up to good timing or to fate having an easy laugh: Just days earlier, David, a hapless delivery truck driver for his family's butcher shop, found out that his girlfriend (Julie LeBreton) is pregnant but having doubts about keeping him around as the father. It's hard to blame her (when we meet him, David is $80,000 in debt and growing pot, and poorly so, in his apartment), but her pregnancy awakens his paternal instincts, and not a moment too soon it seems. Of his 533 existing kids, 142 are suing the fertility clinic David used to find out his identity.
Starbuck's quirky premise no doubt helped it become a box-office hit in Canada, and secured director Ken Scott the opportunity to do a Hollywood remake starring Vince Vaughan, out in theaters later this year. But it's also, exaggerations in David's situation aside, yet another example of modern-family predicaments getting stuffed into the traditional-family-values message of conventional comedies. As if David's leap into fatherhood wasn't enough to establish the film's themes, everyone around him is also overcome by the grievances of parenting. David's brother is on edge about the prospect of having a child, while David's lawyer (Antoine Bertrand), a father of four, complains at every opportunity about his kids who "don't pick up the frequency of my voice." But of course both turn out to be loving, caring parents when it comes down to it. And while there's a preponderance of male characters in the film (David's girlfriend is the only prominent female), the filmmakers don't grant much specificity to anyone's worries and anxieties as fathers. We never hear a word about or see the wife of David's lawyer, yet it's never made clear whether he's a single father. Rather than getting into particulars, the film favors platitudes—mostly of the "lean on me" variety—that are apt for any family or gender.
Starbuck is, on the face of it, a comedy, though one might miss that fact considering how it eschews laughs for sentimentalism. As part of their lawsuit, David's 142 kids send him personal profiles, presumably to touch David's heart and convince him to come out as the father. David decides instead to become their guardian angel, stalking them one by one until he finds a moment to shower them with a random act of kindness. And while this leads to one great scene where David finds himself at a meeting with all 142 of his unknowing children, otherwise it's just more fodder for David's self-realizations and yet another sappy montage. One might assume that discovering you've fathered hundreds of children would call into slight question the notion that all blood runs thicker than water. Starbuck, though, is more intent on making it a pivotal event for hundreds of insights about the importance of family. And once you realize that discovering 533 new heirs will be an unambiguously positive event in David's life, it really takes a lot of the fun out of the gag.

By the time Weems W. Duvall Jr., hit 45, he was close to 300 pounds, his cholesterol was sky high and his blood pressure was out of control. "I was pretty much a walking heart attack," he says.
Diet books advised him that adding fish to his meals would help him reduce calories and take advantage of a hefty dose of heart-friendly fats called omega-3 fatty acids. He began replacing his red meat with fish and felt better -- and lost weight. As Duvall likes to put it, "I was hooked."
Since 2002, the American Heart Assn. has recommended that healthy adults eat at least two servings of fish a week to protect their health. "Calorie for calorie, the benefits of fish oil exceed any other nutrient in the diet," says Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian, a cardiologist at Harvard's Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston who researches the heart benefits of fish.
But in the last few years, a battle over safety has erupted, confusing many consumers about the benefits and risks of eating fish. All fish contain low levels of contaminants (ingested from water or by eating smaller, contaminated fish), notably polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), cancer-causing industrial chemicals banned in 1976; and mercury, a heavy metal found in lakes, streams and oceans.
Environmentalists and consumer groups argue that toxic contaminants in some popular types of fish, such as tuna, put the public's health at risk and that the federal government is doing little to solve the problem.
Physicians and nutrition researchers, on the other hand, fear that all the talk about the dangers of fish scares people away from a food that most of medical science generally agrees offers significant benefits.
"For adults in this country, the main problem is that people don't eat enough fish," says Dr. Eliseo Guallar, associate professor of epidemiology and medicine at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health.
Indeed, Americans are not big fish eaters. The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates that people eat about 3.4 ounces a week, with Californians and other Pacific coast residents eating a bit more: about 3.7 ounces.
By comparison, the USDA estimates that per capita red meat consumption totals nearly 21 ounces.
"Yet fish is healthier," Guallar says.
Benefits not without risk
Scientists now think that the healthful effects of fish are largely due to substances called omega-3 fatty acids, especially two known as DHA and EPA, which are plentiful in oily fish such as salmon, trout and herring. But the long list of possible benefits (see related story) doesn't translate to a blanket endorsement of all fish, any fish.
Fish in fish sticks, for example, is generally low in omega-3s. Fish in fast food restaurants is often high in the unhealthful trans fats used to cook it.
These factors can neutralize the benefits of fish. In an investigation known as the Cardiovascular Health Study, in which 4,775 adults older than 65 were tracked for many years, those who ate baked or broiled fish one to four times each week had 27% fewer strokes than those who ate fish less than once a month. People who ate fried fish or fish sandwiches more than once a week had 44% more strokes.
"Before I did this research, I might have considered a fish sandwich at a fast food restaurant or fish sticks a 'fish meal,' " says Harvard's Mozaffarian, lead author of this work.
Another complication is that not all of the studies on fish-eating have been positive -- possibly, scientists say, because of the effect of contaminants. A study of 1,833 men in Finland, for example, reported that those who ate mercury-contaminated freshwater fish (and who ended up with higher mercury blood levels) suffered twice the rate of heart attacks and deaths from strokes as those who did not eat contaminated fish.
This raises the possibility that the presence of mercury in fish may reduce or eliminate its cardiac benefits, says Guallar of Johns Hopkins, who has conducted studies that indicate similar results.
"It's concerning," he says.

Family of Horwich motorcyclist killed in Cumbria crash pay tribute to 'loving father' (From The Bolton News)
Family of Horwich motorcyclist killed in Cumbria crash pay tribute to 'loving father'
Updated 1:55pm Tuesday 1st April 2014 in News By Charlotte Dobson, Health reporter
THE family of a motorcyclist killed in a Cumbria crash have paid tribute to a "a loving father, son, brother, uncle and partner."
Ian Alan Broughton, aged 52, suffered fatal injuries in the crash on the A684 at Langston Fell, near Sedbergh, at about 2.15pm yesterday.
In a statement, Mr Broughton's family said: "Ian was a loving father, son, brother, uncle and partner who was taken from us on March 30 after a tragic motorbike accident on the A684 in Sedbergh.
"During his life Ian enjoyed going to the Isle of Man TT races following in the footsteps of his idol Joey Dunlop. He loved nothing more than riding his prized MV Agusta motorbike with his treasured friends.
"Ian always lived life to the full and the family take great comfort knowing that he was taken from them doing what he enjoyed the most.
"His lifelong interest in music and attending concerts was shared with his cherished daughters Kellie and Rebecca.
"Sadly missed by all who knew him."
The car — a gold coloured Volkswagen Tiguan — was heading east when it was involved in a crash with Mr Broughton's black and red MV Augusta motorbike.
The 55-year-old man driving the car, from Sedbergh, escaped with "light" injuries and was treated at the scene by paramedics.
Police are appealing for any witnesses to the crash or the circumstances leading up to it.
The road was closed for several hours as the emergency services dealt with the accident Mr Broughton was one of four motorists - three of them motorcyclists involved in separate incidents - who died on Cumbria's roads yesterday.
Anybody with information can contact Cumbria Police on 101 and ask for PC 1567 Kevin Jackson at Kendal Operational Support Unit, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.

Clara H.'s News Feed
Leave a public message for Clara H..
Clara take a look at a picture I posted of a baseball team from Padre Valera, maybe you recognize somebody there I also went to that school, maybe Daniel A. remenbers somebody from that picture
Hello, Clara: Greetings from Houston, TX. It is a very small world the one we live on. I never expected to find your name here. I am so shook up I dont even know how I landed on your page. Honestly, I did not know you were a Pedro Pan sister and honestly I dont recall knowing you from before but the minute I saw your name, a light went on my little brain. I recognized your name instantly although it has been close to 50 years since I have heard it. You are Pedros sister. I remember him well. Pedro and I were in the same boarding school (Padre Varela) back in Cuba, in Colon, Matanzas. I think you might had another sister at the same school that was ahead of me in school (a very politically correct way to say that she was born before I was). For those that will read this message and did know Pedro I will say that Pedro was a young man that was assassinated by the milicia. Pedro was a patriot. Pedro is a guy that should never be forgotten. It is amazing how this data base brings us full circle, how it triggers back so many memories, how it ties together a bond that time, distance and circumstances were never able to dissolve. Best wishes to you and your family wherever you might be.
Haydee, I am so blessed that we found each other again, confirming that the bond that united us as children would never be broken. Hopefully, we will find our other Pedro Pan sisters.

News: Coco Says Nicki Minaj's Butt Is Fake, "I Heard It From Her" [Video]
Wednesday, Jun 15, 2011 5:11PM
Reality star Coco may have broken this year's biggest story by claiming Young Money's Nicki Minaj is not as real as fans may think.
Speaking to celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, Coco spoke on Minaj's biggest asset.
"Well, I read that it wasn't," Coco said when asked if she thought Minaj's backside was real. "Yeah, I thought she came out with it. I heard it from her. Yeah. OK, I've known -- I don't know. We're not even going to go there anymore. Scandal? Right? [laughs] And you know, I say about a lot of stylists, that work with me, and a lot of hair and makeup, they work with me. They touch my body, they're doing stuff all day long. So they're doing that same thing to Nicki Minaj. And they're saying it's a little bit different." (Perez Hilton)
Earlier this month, Coco shared her opinion on butt implants.
"I'm not against plastic surgery but me going through surgery, I know what it feels like. And I'm kind of against the fact that you should get butt implants because one thing that you're missing out here, is that when you have boobs, you're not sitting on you boobs 24-7, when you get butt implants, you're sitting on your butt for most of the day. You have to think about that. I'm so worried about how I move my boobs here and there. I have to wear a sports bra when I go to the gym. You can't jiggle all the time, you might jiggle them out of place. Think about that as far as the butt thing goes because they may jiggle out of place and you might not be able to fix it. I hear some really horror stories about the booty thing and I know I might sound hypocritical to do your boobs and not your butt. But, it's so unnatural. I mean you're not touching the chest area all that much, you're not walking all on the chest area all that much. You do a lot with the butt." (VIBE)
Minaj recently discussed fans' infatuations with her booty.
"I don't mind the question, I don't mind the fascination. It's all good," she said. "I've said this before. It doesn't define me, so I try my best not to focus my energy on it. Like if you guys focus energy on it, I don't mind it. if people are sitting in a barbershop talking about my butt, it's conversational. That's what people are going to do. As long as they're talking about Nicki Minaj, it's good." ("Full Throttle")
Last year, Minaj denied speculation claiming she used butt pads.
Nicki Minaj doesn't have much time for her detractors, including those who recently set the Web ablaze with speculation about whether her assets had been enhanced with "butt pads." Did it bother her? "Absolutely not!" the Queens-bred rapper and Lil Wayne protégé says with a laugh. "People will pick anything to talk about, and that happens to be the thing at the moment. I love being a conversation piece." (New York Post)

For those who don't know, the Warriors are holding an exclusive season-ticket holder BBQ before the game against the New Orleans Hornets. It will be 4-7pm in the Oracle Arena "D" parking lot. Of course, admittance REQUIRES a RSVP (one entry per individual season ticket).
I'll surely be there (look for the white ALMEDA jersey), and it'd be nice to have a nice GSoM "council" meet-up during the event.
I know that a lot of the GSoM readership don't have Season Tickets, but we need to get our voice heard more often at these NBA games. Refs are just not cutting us any slack.We just be louder, so maybe we can get a group together and see just what happens these last few games.
Quite frankly, I don't mind yelling REF U SUCK till the end of the season, regardless of the ref, so the NBA takes some kind of notice. It's an important time of year too, as our players are NOW considering whether sticking with the Warriors is really the way to go. Since we're essentially the REASON these players love playing at Oracle, the type of energy we gave the Warriors during the Kings game gave them JUST enough push to win it. (sans Jackson, Biedrins, injured Maggette, Wright, etc.).
It's Fan Appreciation Month, but really it's Player Appreciation Month for our ol' boys being patient enough through a controversially difficult and emotionally taxing season.
LET'S GO DUBS. See everyone at the BBQ.

Decatur city school leaders took extra measures in order to ensure the safety of their students.
These measures included hiring an extra school resource officer to rotate around school campuses.
Most Decatur city schools have newly installed security systems as well. School officials are following a trend that started after the Sandy Hook tragedy in Connecticut last year: to do everything they can to keep children safe while they learn.
In Decatur, every elementary school in the district will have a new buzzing system. Any visitor wanting to enter a school building must be buzzed in. There are new security cameras on campus, and school officials are working with 911 call centers to provide live camera access and camera feeds to school buildings.
The new gun law is now in effect, and Decatur Superintendent Dr. Ed Nichols stressed that firearms are not allowed in schools. "I own a gun, I hunt. It's not that issue. We don't believe guns should be in school settings," Dr. Nichols said. "And we're going to prohibit those any way we can. And we hope to get some more clarification from the legislature."
Not every school will have the same new security measures in place, but Dr. Nichols said the high schools are next.

Obviously, the main difference between a twin pregnancy and a regular pregnancy is the presence of two fetuses. At the end of a twin pregnancy, a mother will give birth to two babies, rather than just one.
The experience of a twin pregnancy can also be very different for some women. In some cases, women who are pregnant with twins experience enhanced or increased pregnancy symptoms, such as nauseau, fatigue, or edema (swelling). While it's not quite accurate to say that these symptoms are doubled in a twin pregnancy, the increased levels of hormones do exacerbate them for some women.
In addition, a woman who is pregnant with twins is at greater risk for some medical complications, such as preterm labor, preeclampsia, pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) and gestational diabetes. Women who are pregnant with twins should be encouraged to receive proper medical care, follow a healthy diet, take in ample fluids, and minimize any activity which puts the pregnancy at risk.
Researchers are still exploring the specific ways that a multiple pregnancy is different from a single pregnancy. A 2009 study by Edinburgh University found that the biological process of premature birth varied from singleton to multiple birth. The study focused on a progesterone gel treatment that was found to be effective in reducing early births of singletons, but did not have the same effect with multiples. It is hoped that further research to understand the differences will point the way to preventing preterm birth.

Well, well. Quite the eventful week in the Land of the Broke and the World at Large. Let's see …
The ludicrously dubbed "Arab Spring" deteriorates into a deadly Autumn, heading now toward a bitter, long Winter. Reacting to the brutal murders of diplomatic personnel and to the dozens of US embassies under violent protest and outright attack, President Obama tells Netanyahu to not let the door hit him in the ass on his way out, yuks it up with Letterman, and heads to Las Vegas for a fund-raiser. Campaign operatives move his scheduled speech from a large outdoor venue to a smaller indoor arena due to good weather.
Media responds with withering assault on the timing of candidate Romney's remarks (after careful collaboration on their strategy), and report on ridiculously skewed polls showing the Presidential race still very close. And photos of a topless Kate Middleton.
Unionized Chicago teachers abandon children (only half of whom might graduate, if they live that long), rejecting a 16% raise. Schools remain open, though, so breakfast and lunch can be served. CPS is $1.2 billion in the red, Union official says "This is our Arab Spring."
First Lady Michelle Obama identifies our greatest national security threat as obesity (perhaps a veiled suggestion to Chicago schools to not feed the kids?).
Fed chair Bernanke announces another stimulus, $40 billion a month to cover mortgage-backed securities, with no ending date. Said $ to come from … oh, wait.
Oh! The iPhone 5, much criticized by those "in the know," sells out in first day of sales.
God help us.

Scotland Posts Best Season In 14 Years (08-Jun-10)
Scotland, June 8, 2010 - Although Scotland's ski season is
Although Scotland's ski season is not yet officially over, with CairnGorm Mountain expecting to operate at weekends in June, ski-scotland is already evaluating the benefit of what has been a phenomenal season.
Since the season started in late November, Scotland's five mountain ski areas have had 373,782 skier days), the best result since winter 1995-96. The previous best over the last 15 years was season 2000-01 with over 366,000 skier days, and it is only recently that ski-scotland has realised this figure has been beaten.
"All winter, we realised we were heading for a great season," said Chair of ski-scotland Heather Negus. "We had hoped to match the figure for 2001, but didn't realise we had beaten it until recently, when everything was added up – and of course, CairnGorm Mountain is still operating, so we're still counting!"
The ski season is estimated to have generated at least £37.5M for the Scottish economy, at a time of year when tourism businesses are generally quiet. This great result is not only good news for the ski companies; research shows that for each £1 spent "on the hill" at a ski area, a further
£3 is spent off the hill. Therefore over £28M has been spent this winter by skiers in local accommodation, cafés, bars, restaurants, shops and filling stations.
"All the ski areas have been delighted to see other local businesses thriving this winter," continued Heather. "Everything really came together for us – we had lots and lots of superb snow, which kept on coming, some truly amazing overhead weather giving 'bluebird' conditions, and, because there was also snow elsewhere in the UK, people realised that the Scottish Highlands did have skiing and snowboarding to rival the best and they came here to enjoy it."
The figures for the five individual ski areas are:
The Lecht operated on 110 days, was closed for 5 days, due to road closure, and had 52,147 skier days.
Glencoe operated on 113 days, was closed on 13 days, due to storm conditions, and had 26,135 skier days.
Nevis Range operated on 117 days, was closed on 11 days, due to storm conditions, and had 34,886 skier days.
Glenshee operated on 110 days, was closed on 6 days, due to road closure, and had 116,614 skier days. They narrowly missed beating their 15-year previous best by around 1,500!CairnGorm Mountain had operated on 143 days (and still counting), was closed on 19 days, due to clearing road, train track and lifts of excess snow, and has so far had over 144,000 skier days – and counting.

A UFO was noticed from SOHO project's photos released by NASA. It was discovered and posted by YouTube user Myunhauzen74. The video seems to show an object making an intelligent movement, ruling out a comet or other space bodies. Its size would appear to be the same as the Earth based on the Sun's perspective in the photos.
The SOHO is a joint project of the European Space Agency and NASA. The orbital solar telescope has been taking photos of the Sun, solar flares and any activity around the Sun. It is placed 1.5 million kilometres from Earth. The data sent from the telescope is loaded in the website of NASA without editing, giving UFO researchers a chance to examine the raw images.
Report about a UFO around the Sun is not new. In fact, there are hundreds of reports about the anomaly around the Sun involving an unidentified flying object. American meteorologist Scott Stevens has even made a theory about it saying that solar flares are results of space aliens' experimentation. He said in an interview that he believes UFOs are flying around the Sun.
KENS NOTE: I have been tracking and downloading these events every day for a few years. The objects are the size of planets or much larger. I really do not know what they are because of the heat generated from the Sun. You would think anything would burn up thousands of miles from the Sun but this is not the case. Now if NASA came out and said " its molten material being blasted out into space from the Sun ", I could deal with that. It would make sense to me but I have not heard any explanations from NASA about this phenomenon except for some egg head explanation that make no sense to me. "Double talk" is an art with NASA. Check out my Sun gallery on www.worldufophotos.org . I have approximately 1,100 photos of the Sun with these objects highlighted. A couple years ago NASA displayed high definition images on the SOHO web site but in January of 2011 the hi-definition images went away. Now they are low definition images but they are still good to see this phenomenon around the Sun. The images enclosed are a few of the finds I have on the Sun. My theory is these craft are possibly using the energy of the Sun to fly their ships through space.
I have enclosed 4 images of the Sun and UFO's. Two of the photos are a prime example of these objects hardly moving within a 24 hour period....Of course, to you debunkers and so called scientist, they probably moved a million miles in one direction or another but look at the image. I am interested to see if the object will be there tomorrow at 00.06 Zulu.
thanks for the feedback taeko......ken

I used this case file as a remote viewing target, but this is not the first time I have looked at these things since Major Ed Dames has called our attention to it. They are extremely large ET craft or space stations. Mostly they are Reptilian. They take solar energy and by wireless transmission send it to ET settlements on other planets. At the same time they suppress solar flares or redirect them away from the planets. Back in the 1980s and 90s earth authorities had made ET very angry by breaking agreements with them. The Reptilians were going to allow earth to be hit by powerful solar flares that would wreak civilization. This is the "kill shot" you might have heard of. However, recently the situation with ET has been improved and the kill shot has been called off for now.

I drink a lot of tea—in a typical day, I'll have anywhere from three to six cups, usually Irish Breakfast tea with fat-free milk. But after 4 p.m., my tea habits make a drastic change. That's because black tea has about 50 mg of caffeine per cup—not as much as coffee, which contains anywhere from 100 to 200 mg, but still enough to affect your sleep if you're drinking it late in the day. And I've found that I'm especially sensitive to caffeine. For this reason, I try to limit my caffeine consumption to no later than 4 p.m. The only problem with this no-tea-after-4 rule is that I often want something to sip in the late afternoon, and I definitely need something to sip after dinner!
The solution: Herbal spice tea. I love it because it's extremely versatile—if I drink it straight up, it has a sharp, peppery kick. If I'm in the mood for something creamy after dinner, some warm fat-free milk added to a strongly brewed cup of spice tea creates a hot chai latte. And in the summertime, I drink it iced, both with and without fat-free milk.
Second, the robust flavor is really satisfying. In fact, I'll often drink a cup of spice tea instead of having dessert. Cinnamon, a key component of spice tea, has a natural sweetness—you'd be surprised how sweet a cup of spice tea is without the aid of added sweeteners. And for those times when I still need a sweet treat, sipping a cup of steaming spice tea helps me relax, slow down, and savor my treat (one sip tea, one bite dessert…and repeat).
Another perk: The herbal spice tea I drink most often is a strong blend of cinnamon, cloves, ginger and black pepper. The concoction makes my stomach feel great (probably from the ginger, which has been studied for its nausea-soothing properties in pregnant women and people who experience motion sickness).
And although herbal spice tea doesn't contain actual tea leaves, like black or green tea, it still packs some powerful antioxidants from the spices like cinnamon and cloves, which protect your health and reduce your risk for a variety of diseases. So, the next time you're searching for something to sip at night, consider herbal spice tea, which comes in a variety of flavors from cocoa spice to options with a hint of chili pepper! It can be tea time any time of the day thanks to herbal spice tea!

MyDD / Courage Campaign Poll: Republicans Divided On Iraq, Accountability
by Chris Bowers, Mon Aug 14, 2006 at 11:27:32 AM EDT
In an important development paralleling the Vietnam-era split in the Democratic Party base, a split is developing among Republican Party base voters around the war in Iraq and the credibility of Republican Party leaders who initiated the war. In post-election polling done by Courage Campaigns and MyDD.com in the Republican-leaning California 50th district, we found that only 19% of Republican voters believe that the Republican Party will hold Bush accountable for mistakes made in Iraq, versus 48% of Republican voters who believe that the Democratic Party will hold Bush accountable.
Other findings include:
- 63% of Republican voters believe that Bush has made some or a lot of mistakes in Iraq. 24% of Republican voters believe that Bush has made a lot of mistakes in Iraq, and another 39% believe that Bush has made some mistakes in Iraq.
- 34% of Republican voters believe that Bush has definitely or probably not told the truth about the situation in Iraq. 14% believe that Bush has definitely not told the truth about the situation in Iraq, and another 20% believe that Bush has probably not told the truth about the situation in Iraq.
- 34% of Republican voters believe that Bush should probably or definitely be held accountable for the situation in Iraq. 19% of Republican voters believe that Bush should definitely be held accountable, and 15% believe he should probably be held accountable.
- 48% of Republican voters believe that the Democratic Party is likely to hold Bush accountable for mistakes in Iraq, versus only 19% who believe that the Republican Party is likely to hold Bush accountable.
Voters and likely voters in the bright red California 50th Congressional District believe that George Bush made mistakes with regard to the conduct of the war in Iraq, is not truthful about that war and that Democrats, not Republicans, are the only force that can hold him accountable.
This poll demonstrates clearly that the occupation in Iraq matters to voters and that progressive candidates have the obligation to assure that Congress will be in charge of holding the president accountable.
These stunning findings are from a new poll commissioned by the Courage Campaign, a non-partisan, progressive 527 based in Los Angeles, and MyDD.com, a progressive blog devoted to analysis and commentary on political campaigns and infrastructure. This poll was conducted as a follow-up to the polling memo the two organizations released on August 2nd, which examined reasons for Francine Busby's loss in the special election in the district. The poll was conducted from August 2nd-3rd by Wright Consulting, and surveyed 308 registered voters who participated in the July 5-26 Courage Campaign / MyDD poll. The poll has a margin of error of 5.8% for the entire sample, with smaller subgroups have a larger margin of error.
Full questionnaire can be found here:
Complete crosstabs can be found here:
For further information, contact Chris Bowers of MyDD at email@example.com, or CJ Frogozo of the Courage Campaign at email@example.com
Complete findings can be found in the extended entry.
Bush Has Made Mistakes--A Lot of Mistakes (Question #1)
While President Bush has had a difficult time admitting he has made any mistakes during his time in office, registered voters in the CA-50 hold a very different view. 53% of voters said that President Bush has made "a lot" of mistakes; 21% said he has made "some" mistakes, and 21% said he has made "a few mistakes." Only 3% said President Bush has made no mistakes, and another 2% were not sure. While partisans had very differing views on how many mistakes Bush has made, even 24% of Republicans in the district indicated that Bush made "a lot" of mistakes, and 39% indicated that he has made "some." 82% of Democrats and 60% of Independents said that Bush has made "a lot" of mistakes.
Bush Has Not Told the Truth On the War (Question #2)
Most residents of this conservative district also feel that President Bush has not told them the truth on the Iraq war. Only 41% of registered voters in this district believed that President Bush has either "definitely" or "probably" told the truth on the war in Iraq. By contrast, 55% of people surveyed said that President Bush has either "probably not" or "definitely not" told the truth on Iraq, with the largest percentage (32%) of those surveyed falling into the "definitely not" category. Again, this finding cuts across party lines, as a full 34% of Republicans and 61% of Independents do not think President Bush has told the truth on Iraq.
Bush Needs To Be Held Accountable, But Republicans Won't Do It (Questions #3 and #5)
Most importantly, by a clear margin of 57% to 34%, those surveyed felt that Bush must be held accountable for mistakes in Iraq, and only 17% of those surveyed felt that Republicans in Congress were likely to do that. By contrast, 61% believed Democrats were likely to do that. Even among Republicans, Democrats in Congress held a huge edge on this question, 48% to 19%. In the California 50th, where Republicans outnumber Democrats 3-2, these findings make it clear voters overwhelmingly view the Republican Congress as a rubber stamp for the Bush Administration, and as impotent when it comes to conducting their traditional oversight role on matters of national security. This issue alone might motivate swing voters who otherwise stayed at home in the Busby race to show up and vote for progressive candidates who demand accountability and oversight.
Commentary from Chris Bowers and Rick Jacobs
Chris Bowers of MyDD:
"Our first poll showed that the culture of corruption message did not work for Busby, that the district was not right-wing on immigration, and that the famous Busby "gaffe" did not swing the election. Instead, Busby lost because Independents turned out at low rates, and those who did turn out voted for third-party candidates. This follow-up, however, shows that communicating a message to hold the Bush administration accountable for mistakes in Iraq should find wide-ranging appeal. Even large numbers of Republicans believe that Bush has not told the truth, that he needs to be held accountable for his mistakes, and that a Democratic Congress is the most likely way that he will be held accountable. The key for challengers this year will be to focus on accountability, not policy fixes voters do not believe anyone would be able to enact."
Rick Jacobs of the Courage Campaign:
"The message is very clear. North San Diego County is very Republican by registration and heavily military by background. People do not trust George Bush on his conduct of the invasion and occupation of Iraq. They believe that a strong opposition party, the Democrats, is the only viable means by which true oversight and thereby accountability can be injected into a bloated government run amok. This poll shows Democrats a clear path by which to talk about Iraq, to demand an independent oversight role similar to what Senator Harry Truman led in World War II. The people of San Diego country, more generally conservative than the nation as a whole, want answers. A new majority in Congress is their only path to those answers. It's not a laundry list of policy aspirations. It's not pointing fingers. It's adults in the room who will ask the tough questions."

From Trader Joe's, poured from bottle into a pint glass.
"Best Consumed Before: 07/31/13"
A - Nice amber color, nothing extraordinary, but nice. Good thick head with some retention.
S - Nothing impressive and very minimal scent.
T - Surprisingly good. Some bitterness, some sweet, but smooth and balanced overall. Very easy to drink.
M - Smooth and pretty good. Not much of an aftertaste.
Summary - Not bad. Not my favorite brew, but I wouldn't turn one down.

I just returned from Zie Motherland so I had my fair share of Maibock style beers during my trip. I was happy to see that my local TJ's had this on sale for a mere $3.99 a six pack! So this was a no brainer (keine Krähen)
Appearance - deep copper w/ slight head
Smell - did not detect much aroma on this, no biggie - beer is for drinking, not smelling
Taste - light, crisp bright, carmel/butterscotch sweet bready flavor, very drinkable. Some maibocks can be a bit sticky sweet but this one is very drinkable and smooth.
Mouthfeel - good
Overall - a great maibock and a great price (the reg price is $5.99 so even the regular price is a good deal)

From the 12 fl. oz. bottle with an expiration date of 08/13/13. Sampled on May 19, 2013 so I am ahead of schedule.
It looks very nice and the way it should with a copper-amber pour that has a significant amount of carbonation leading up to only a small head, that fizzles.
The aroma is malty with some biscuit, caramel, toffee, sweetness, and other sugary-type malts that are obvious but I cannot think of how else to describe them.
The body is smooth and medium.
The taste has an intense malty sweetness up front to the point of being a bit over the top with the slightest of low hop bitterness on the tail end. I mean I could drink this again because it does have some interesting characteristics but it really is malt-heavy and malt-forward.

Comes in a bottle (6 for $6.50). "Best by" date is 5 months off, so I'm assuming it was brewed a month ago or so... Not refrigerated like all of trader joe's beers.
Pours a clear rich amber with a thin tan head on top. Aroma is deep and rich with loads of dried fruit: figs, dates.
Taste starts off very mild, but sweet and builds with rich caramel, toffee, fig and raisin notes. Finishes cry and crisp with a spicy hop bite at the back end.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied. Has a a nice silky mouthfeel in the middle and finishes dry and crisp with help from the carbonation and hops. Alcohol is definitely there, but is inoffensive.
Overall a decent maibock. Not one of the best I've had, but definitely one of the best for this price. I would buy again just based on pricing.

Appearance - red orange color with a white head that actually sticks around quite nicely.
Smell - a nice floral sweet smell. Small smells of hops as well.
Taste - a very crisp and refreshing brew. A nice mix of of sweetness with the hops.
Mouthfeel - good
Overall - a great spring/summer beverage!

Clear caramel color under a briefly tall, plush-looking head. Rich toasted malt aromas...slight noble hop spice. Continued toasted malty richness in the mouth. Bready and spicy, finishing on the clean side and leaving some lingering sweetness. Medium-to-full feeling body, some residual sugars, and smooth with fine-bubbled carbonation. Not a bad stab at the style at all.

Poured into a Celebrator pokal. Pours a reddish coppery amber with a fine half finger ivory head with good retention and lacing. Aroma is quite bready malt with hint of rye bread, hints of caramel and nuts. Flavor is sweet biscuit and bready malt, grassy German style hops, hay. Nice creamy medium body. A slightly sweet, but overall well balanced malty maibock with tradtional hops that give this a nice finish. A quite well done inexpensive maibock, and possibly my favorite among the Josephs Brau line. Better than expected and something I'd buy again in a pinch.

JosephsBrau Prost has an extremely thick, cream-colored head, a clear, bubbly, copper appearance, and rather heavy lacing left behind on the glass. The aroma is of sweet, syrupy, bread crust. Taste is the same with a wonderful, prominent hop bitterness coming in near the end of the sip. Mouthfeel is light to medium, and JosephsBrau Prost finishes crisp, refreshing, and surprisingly drinkable. Overall, this is delicious!

If you are lucky enough to live around a Trader Joe's then you are lucky enough to shop there. One of their specialties is very good beer at an extremely nice price, which they exemplify in their Joseph Brau collection.
"Prost" is a season beer, which should be purchased promptly, and fits very well into their niche. Simply put, the beer is very good but at a price you would expect to pay for an OK beer. Nice head, malty and rich this beer goes well alone and would pair wonderfully with a rich stew or grilled red meat.
At this price and quality I say buy two six packs before it disappears.

Another Trader Joe's special! I was hesitant to getting it but after reading the description I was pulled into trying it.
A-Pours an amber color with minimal head.
S-Lacks a hoppy smell contrary to the description.
T-Smooth with an odd fruity after taste.
M-Lacks constancy.
O-I think this beer is okay and would be a good sipper.
Drink on!

Bought from Trader Joe's on 3/23/13. poured from a 12 oz bottle into a mug, served at room temp.
medium orange amber with a no nothing head. I bet lacing will be non existent. I was right.
aroma: sweet caramel malt, reminds me of Sam Adams Oktoberfest. A faint Noble hoppiness meekly presents itself.
mouthfeel: a little unfinished., syrupy.
taste: sweet caramel malts with a touch of spicy noble hops that creates some bitterness at the end.
Notes: not bad. Fairly easy to drink.

Went to trader joe's and bought this beer along with a few others. I had never been there before and seeing beer at 5.99$ a sixxer and brewing beer myself I became curious "How bad could a cheap sixxer of beer be" ?? I bought their IPA which was under hopped but good. I cracked the top on this Prost beer, poured it into my beer glass and it pours a red-orange amber beer with brown toffee looking head and gives very little lace, but carbonated enough to add to the taste.
I rate this beer very high because everyone I have shared it with is floored at the price and taste. MMMm Rich Malty Lager. I lift weights and am very carb conscience my one complaint is I'm pretty sure this beer is 200 calories or more. It's 7.3% alcohol WOW ... it hides this potent ABV very well and shockingly provides a malty slightly sweet taste. I have one every few days with a dinner, and it compliments most foods nicely!
Overall I am absolutely impressed with this beer. I'm going to try the oatmeal stout, and other cheap beers at Trader joes because this beer has shown if you go load up on brew at TJ your going to save allot of money and get beer that should be costing 10$ a six pack!
GREAT BEER !!! I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great brew at an unbelievable price.

a: I poured this from a 12oz bottle into a Dundee Pilsner Glass. I got a nice head with larger bubbles, however it left as quickly as it came. It is a very appetizing copper color.
s: I really enjoyed the smell. A nice floral bouquet that offered some notes of deep apricot notes.
t: The taste, I'll be honest, was difficult for me to pick it apart. I did get a nice buttery taste within it all along with some toasted coffee flavors. Very faint and appropriate bitterness coming out during the tail-end of each sip.
m: Very nice, medium body mouthfeel - accurate for the style.
o: A truly nice Bock beer. Enjoyable to drink, and unique enough to trip up palate. This is a great addition to a craft pack, not a beer I could drink several of.

3.68/5 rDev +10.2%
from notes taken on vacation in montreal 5.16.2010.
listed on their website as being first brewed in the brewpub december of 2002, so i'm guessing it's either year round or seasonal availability.
served in an imperial pint glass.
color is a standard reddish copper with a thin cap of tan head that lasts to the end of the glass. leaves thick swaths of lace behind too.
smell is nutty and grainy with a light herbal hop presence.
taste is nutty, toasty, carmelly and bready with some slight bitterness in the finish. i usually like malt heavy beers, but i'd prefer just a bit more hops to help balance this out.
mouthfeel is thin with medium carbonation.
this is definitely a session beer. of the four beers i had at the brewpub, this was the least exciting. seems to fit the style well though.

Do You Hate Doing Dishes?
Side Score: 5

They are the bane of my existence...the reluctant white whale of household chores, but not so difficult to catch. Back when I was just a kid, I had a gig washing dishes at a restaurant in NYC, and I had to wash dishes all day then come home and wash more dishes or get whacked with a wooden spoon! Growing up Sicilian in New York City...was an interesting experience.

Let me be honest! Yes, I hate washing dishes...because it takes my time and I can do interesting affairs instead of it, even useful for me. Particularly, I noticed that I became to hate washing it recently...my lessons are over my head and this big heap annoyed me. I had to do it in order to not to hear how my mother scolds me. However, I found out that doing dishes has good effects on human organism. Let me introduce them.
Firstly, washing dishes can help to get rid of problems, which you had during hard working day. Professor James John from Harvard Medical School stated: "Water takes stress away". I guess, all of you listen to seashells near seaside. Have you ever noticed it really gives pleasure and you start to dream. It is a murmur of the sea. Therefore, running water under the faucet takes away your troubles and worries, by concentrating on your spiritual condition and thoughts. Also even surrounding things are nothing for you and you do not notice how fast washed your dishes. If look at doing dishes from different angles, it is not hating thing.
Secondly, my piece of advice - try to wash dishes with music. It really helps. Concentrate more on your music or lyrics, just sing or even dance. It is funny. Anyway, it is a good exercise to stretch all body. You want to dance, but you are afraid of that your friends react negatively, even start to laugh at you. It is not problem. Dance where ever you want. At first, start from dancing in front of sink. Just try to find positive sides of doing wishes. I heard that some people even talk to themselves in front of dishes. It sounds crazy, but it is real. Experts recommended to express your negative in a right way and doing wishes even can be one of them, and in near future will be approved.
Finally, all young people get used to complain that they hate that or that. In general, we must stop it. It is simple act to wash dishes. Our mothers did it from their childhood and did enough, and now it our time to continue and help them. We hear that they lived in difficult time and never moaned. We stopped to think how important these words, because we did not face with their problems - when water was a deficit, when food was a deficit, when dishes never washed spotlessly. Shame on us. We need to thank that we have things from what we can drink and eat, that we have enough water even to wash dishes, sink-where to put them. Now is time to get experience to do things double fast in order to be in time in future. Take into consideration, if we spend double less time to ordinary household chores, we have a lot of time for our free time.
To conclude, I wanted you to pay attention to positive sides of everything, which you face with in everyday life. Do not panic, do not hate, because life is so short to hate something or someone. Enjoy every moment. Relax! Take it easy!

Don't you just love it when you are done washing dishes and then you let the water out then rinse the sink out making it look nice and clean and maybe even shiny then someone puts more dishes in it causing you to have to put more water and soap in the sink?
