Max Payne 3 Reviews roll in
Rockstar have lifted their embargo on reviews for their latest shooter, Max Payne 3. At the time of writing, the game held a score of 87% on Metacritic which was made up of three perfect scores.
GamesRadar had the following to say about the title in their 10 out of 10 review, "Max Payne 3 marks an exceptional comeback for the series. While prior games were certainly dark tales, the stories of addiction, double and triple crosses, as well as some grim surprises ripped straight from urban legends.
"It maintains the mechanics that made the prior games great while modernising them to excellent effect. Between the arcade mode and multiplayer, there's enough substantive content to keep you hooked for some time.
"While there are some mechanically wonky moments, they're too minuscule to tank a stellar sequel that was worth the wait. Between its pacing, its presentation, and its excellent gunplay, Max Payne 3 has raised the bar for other action games to follow."
OPM UK awarded the title an 8 out of 10 concluding that it was, "A dark, cinematic single-player campaign lasting around ten hours coupled with a compelling multiplayer offering make this a worthy addition to the genre, even if it can't quite compete in the very top tier. But for legacy's sake, we hope that this time Max's retirement is permanent."
Edge Magazine were, however, less impressed with the title giving it a respectable 7 out of 10. With a score that is still something not to be sniffed at they stated, "This is a game about a world-weary killer doing the only thing he knows how to, and for all its spectacular action beats there's something apt about Max's fatigue.
Regardless of what the critics are saying about the title, will you still pick this up after such a long absence?

If I had to tell you my biggest weakness, it would be knowing my limits. I'm all or nothing and I don't stop. Growing up, "lazy" was worse than any four letter word. But the time has come for me to slow down. It is not easy but fortunately I have gracious friends who are helping me gently step away for a bit.

- Page:1/1
- " Good place to stay, plenty of toilets, staff is friendly, ambiance was great, spacious kitchen but really busy. The free Breakfast and laundry makes the difference compared to other hostels. Still expensive but it's Darwin. "
- 15 Jul 2014 Anonymous France
- " All the hostels in Darwin are expensive. Dingo moon at least has a nice kitchen with pans you don't have to put a deposit down for. The eight bed dorm is cramped but at least there's AC. The best parts are the free laundry and breakfast. "
- 12 Jun 2014 Anonymous USA
- " Well located, just outside the noisy part of the main street, good range of travellers, plus some longer term residents. Rooms clean and smart but could do with lockers (A lockup room is available however). Facilities good (pool, good kitchen area, fridges, free clothes washing facilities) but no bar. Be happy to return there when in Darwin. "
- 06 May 2014 Anonymous Australia
- " Simply great. Best place in Darwin. "
- 23 Jan 2014 Alexandre Canada
- " The most welcoming place I have ever stayed. Within 12 hours of being in Australia I had drunk beer, eaten steak, made $40 on and off spec job, been offered a job and bought a car. Does it get any better. Staff and facilities are superb. There's an awesome laid back party vibe. So good I stayed a week! "
- 11 Nov 2013 SarahW England
- " The rooms are very basic (p.ex. no lockers, no ladder on bunk bed), but in overall it´s a nice place to stay for a few nights. Liked the pool and the outdoor kitchen. "

This budding book is for you, band alums.
The Georgia Tech band turns 100 in 2008 and an alumni ensemble is compiling photos and stories for a book slated for publication next fall.
"A bunch of students got together in 1908 and wanted to form a band. There were 14 members — a couple of drums, some brass and clarinets," said Mark Anthony, Psy 90, a member of the committee working on the book.
The book will include a 1930s photo of the band performing for a dance. "The band is playing before this ghastly, huge radio equipment," Anthony said. "They were playing and the music was being broadcast live to a dance that was being held five blocks away on the roof of the Capital City Club."
The band has continued to grow in numbers and broadcast range.
"My freshman year in '85 there were 90 band people, and that included percussion and the Reckettes. Now the band is nearly 400 strong and that doesn't count flag, majorettes," Anthony said, his voice trailing off as his cell phone rang. The ring tone was "Ramblin' Wreck."
"We're finding out that not much has changed over time. Some of the high jinks that have been played, some of the traditions that we thought were relatively new go back a long time. We have a story from the 1950s that the trombone section was doing its own rituals before football games even back then," said Anthony, a saxophone player.
Committee member Sam "Fireball" Feuer, ChE 92, said he is responsible for starting one trombone tradition. "Now each individual in the trombone section plays their high school fight song under the North Stands before each football game."
Brian Clements, Cls 02, the third member of the committee, added, "Each section has added various songs to the middle of both 'Ramblin' Wreck' and 'Up With the White and Gold.' At this point, we have identified almost a dozen different songs that have made it into the two songs."
Anthony said there's probably a reason why the band has continued to play the "Popeye" theme over the years. "We just don't know what it is. That's one of the stories we'd like to find out."
There may not be a deep story rooted in the ode to the spinach-eating sailor. Take the Budweiser jingle for instance.
"It started back in the '70s as a joke and just grew into a tradition," Anthony said.
To ensure there's nothing left to say, alumni may contribute their band notes and photos at www.gtbandhistory.org.

The Dodgers had Mark Ellis, Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier in the lineup for the first time in almost two months. And they won their 19th one run game tonight, 2-1. Don Mattingly was happy to get Belisario and Jansen some work in Arizona even though the Dodgers were behind. Mattingly thinks Jansen pitches better the more he pitches.
Mattingly mentioned that Javy Guerra had a personal issue and it was reported by Dylan Hernandez that Javy Guerra's father had a heart attack this morning and he will undergo open-heart surgery tomorrow. Guerra will leave the team tomorrow. Guerra is likely to go on a leave list when a player finds it necessary to leave the team to attend to a serious illness in his or his spouse's immediate family. A player must miss a minimum of three games and a maximum of seven games. The team can use another player from its 40-man roster to replace a player on the bereavement list.
Mark Ellis said "we kind of know who we are," in terms of a low-scoring team. Mark added as long as everyone does their job, Matt and Andre will do theirs.
Kershaw said he threw too many pitches tonight. Gave credit to the Padres for getting guys on base.
Kemp said "The second half is important, it is important to start off hot." "I'm going to play as hard as I can."
Tomorrow night Edinson Volquez faces Aaron Harang in the second game of the three game set.

Twenty States Down, Fourteen More to Go!
Lee Schalk
November 22, 2013
Thanks to grassroots pressure and bipartisan support, the Ohio Legislature this week passed a Balanced Budget Amendment (BBA) Convention Application, growing the roster of states with BBA resolutions from 19 to 20. Thirty-four states must pass similar resolutions to reach the two-thirds threshold to call on Congress to set a time and place for a Constitutional Convention.
It's no secret why taxpayers across the country are so eager for the passage of a BBA. Washington has run deficits during 45 of the last 50 years, proving that as an institution, Congress is no longer capable of restraining itself. Clearly, any solution to our spending crisis must come from outside Washington, D.C.
Thankfully, Article V of the Constitution allows state lawmakers to exercise certain powers to prevent a catastrophe due to federal excesses. As we wrote in "Why You Must Lead the Congress" over two decades ago:
The Founding Fathers had no way of predicting the current irresponsible spending policies of the federal government. Yet although they could not foretell the future, they were men of great wisdom. They did foresee the possibility that Congress might fail the people. It is for that reason that Article V of the U.S. Constitution enables the states to amend the Constitution.
The time has come for the states to exercise their constitutional authority over the federal government, and our hats are off to the Ohio Legislature for doing their part to seize this historic opportunity. Stay tuned to NTU.org as we continue the push for an Article V Constitutional Convention for the sole purpose of adopting a Balanced Budget Amendment.
NTU's letter calling on Ohio leaders to pass an Article V resolution can be found HERE.

Grand Rapids, MI -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/10/2013 -- We all know it is difficult to stay abreast of everything that is happening financially in the United States today. Dennis Tubbergen, a financial advisor, author, radio show host and CEO of PLP Advisors, LLC can be counted on to give a hand when it comes to understanding the latest events in U.S. and world economics.
Whether people enjoy his monthly newsletter at http://www.moving-markets.com or his blog at http://www.dennistubbergen.com, Tubbergen is dedicated to sharing his viewpoints and opinions. On July 8, 2013 his blog was titled $7,000 Gold?
"James Rickards was quoted in a Business Insider article predicting that gold would reach $7,000 per ounce," began Tubbergen.
Below he quotes from the June 29, 2013 article.
Emotion is overshadowing fundamentals in gold right now and several factors point to a long-term bullish move in the metal, two gold bulls told "Squawk on the Street" Thursday.
"It all depends on Fed policy," said James Rickards, managing director at Tangent Capital, who expects deflation fears to outweigh the Fed's desire to taper. Right now, he said, the fact that real rates are above inflation is a bearish signal for gold, and expectations of continued policy tightening is also pushing down prices.
"The case for buying gold is that the Fed is going to back off," he said. "They're not going to taper later this year. They're actually going to increase asset purchases because deflation is winning the tug of war between deflation and inflation. Deflation is the Fed's worst nightmare."
"In the next two months, the Fed is going to make it clear that they will not taper," he predicts. "That's very bullish for gold."
Aside from Fed policy, Rickards expects China to start buying gold at these low levels, up to perhaps 4,000 tons. "People will say 'Why is China buying gold if it's so worthless?'" he said.
Tom McClellan, editor of the McClellan Market Report newsletter, is also bullish on gold, comparing the technical level of the commodity to the 2009 bottom in the stock market.
"It's the same emotional play that's going on, people falling out of love with stocks back then, people falling out of love with gold now," McClellan said. "We're reaching the climax point equivalent for the March 2009 low for the stock market."
"It's a hugely bullish condition for gold and I'm expecting a really large rebound," he said.
Rickards said that the destination for gold is $7,000 per ounce, although tightening of Fed policy could drive it down to $1,000 on the way there.
McClellan's target is between $2,800 and $4,400, based on his own technical analysis, although he did not dismiss the $7,000 level. He said that we haven't yet seen a "blow up moment" in the gold market yet.
"The moment that we see a major gold producer announcing that it's curtailing production or it's going out of business, that'll be the moment that we mark the low in gold. I expect to have one of those announcements any minute."
"We're getting down to the production price of gold right now and they won't continue producing gold at that level for very long," McClellan said.
"While I wouldn't go out on a limb and forecast the ultimate price of gold, I do agree with both Rickards' and McClellan's assessments of the gold market," notes Tubbergen. "Central Banks around the world have two options as I see it: One, let deflation set in and let the debt excesses that exist in the financial systems be purged. Two, attempt to stave off deflation by printing money."
Tubbergen goes on to say that while the latter won't work to solve the problem as Japan's policies of the last 20 years have taught us, he believes that there will be too much political pressure to take action to combat deflation. Faced with taking action, the Fed has just one tool to use: the printing press. And they will probably use it.
"In a winter economic environment, gold typically does well while stocks perform poorly," concludes Tubbergen. "While that has not been the case recently, I expect that trend to continue long term."

Tubbergen's syndicated radio show can be heard on metro Michigan stations WTKG 1230 AM and WOOD Newsradio1300 AM and 106.9 FM.

This year is full of a new breed.
My prediction for December was a bad choice. It is like choosing the day old bread when the waiter has already brought you them nice garlic sticks in the basket for the table that you find in the chain factory restaurant of Olive Garden. I will eat these bread sticks all day and not stop even though I know they are there to fill me up.
My prediction for January on the season of Golden State is that it is worthless to make a prediction because I am not a Jesus walker on water and even if I was then what does being a Jesus walker on water have to do with predicting how good the Golden State basketball field court walkers will do.
With the Jesus Rich and his ailing body out in the future for the whole month I say that we trade him for the Carmello Bar. The Denver team would never make a trade like that, but I would like to make the Golden State to make a trade anyway. They should get the Denver to trade Carmello Bar for Jesus Richardson for just one day. Then the people would all be talking angry on the radio and TV how you can not trade your best player even for one day.
I would laugh because then we could get the Carmello Bar jerseys made in the Golden State warrior size and color.
And Denver would then have the Jesus Rich for only one day and all the people in Denver would be upset because they would say, "We only got J Rich in return for Carmello Bar. Does the god of the sky not kid with our heads? You can't make that trade. Carmello Bar is worth more. Yes, Carmello Bar is worth more. I think we should get Shaq for one day."
This mention of Shaq by the Denver people makes me think that the trade could expand to a three team deal trade exchange where each team gets the other players for one day and the trade would only last two days.
I also think that Mr. Chris Mulkin should put a clause in the bottom of the trade agreement that says if you don't fly J Rich into Denver then the warriors get to keep both Carmello Bar and J Rich. Make it super small and hide it so no one would see it. That would be a good prank. The one day trade that changed the world and made Golden State a power horse of Trojan land for the remainder of the century.

A pioneer by definition is the first one to open roads into virtually undiscovered territory.The career of DJ and producer Anderson Noise is one as pioneer of the electronic music scence in Brazil. Native of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Noise started DJ ing in a slow but steady manner as is the custom in his region of Brazil. Yet he never forget to take the necessary steps to insure total success. In 1989, during the explosion of Acid House on the club scene, Noise started playing around the local circuit in his hometown. With the professional passion for DJ ing, hes noted for saying that, the function of a DJ is to emote the audience or bring them to an emotional frenzy. Subsequently Noise started organizing and producing large scale events in which he could also DJ for as early as 1992.
With a fervor, he opened space for the expansion of the electronic music scence in the capital city of Minas Gerais, which as the time was in an embryonic state locally speaking.
There were more than 40 party events thrown in places like mental institutions, car dealership lots, shopping centers, historic buildings, etc, etc. The Noise Family turned into an institution, as the entire family was involved in organizing and working the events. Mamma Noise, Anderson�s mother worked as hostess in the events,and Alvinho Little Noise joined in the fun burning up the dance floor spinning records along with Anderson. The first compilation disk come out in 96, "Paralisia Cerebral", when the dream of producing his own records turned into a reality in the talented hands of Anderson Noise.
In 1997 he was invited to include "Shantytown" on "Electronic Music Brazil", the first CD of 100% Brazilian DJ's& Procucers released by Sony-Mercado Mundo Mix.Without fear of expanding his horizons, Noise promoted the first trio electrico playing exclusively electronic music in 1999 during Carnabel�, the off season Mineiro Carnival that turned into a must see perfomance. Without knowing it, he would be acquiring the experience which would later prepare him for a bigger challenge playing on Daniela Mercury�s trio electrico during the Salvador Carnival of 2002, giving him huge national exposure in the media. On the shelves of the great DJ�s are always something besides records, that being trophy's and awards.In 97', Noise won the Best Underground DJ award for the magazine ,"DJ Sound". In the two times that "DJ Sound" ran the competition Anderson won each time.
Then he won the trophy for the best producer and the best DJ of techno music which was called the "Night Illustrated" award created by Erika Palomino from the newspaper "A Folha De S�o Paulo". The fa�scas trophy, an award Noise Won 3 years in a row was offered by the Minas Newspaper, "O Estado de Minas" for those artists that shook up the nightlife in Belo Horizonte and in 2003 he was runner up in the Cool Magazine Awards, Brazils most elegant electronic music magazine.The trophy was given to him in the subsequent year of 2004, as best DJ. Anderson has always participated in the major national/Brazilian Eletronic Music Events.His presence was felt by all in every edition of the Skol Beats Festival since it's inception,serendipitously closing the 2003 Skol Beats Festival with great fanfare.Noise also participated in the "Electronic Tent" of Rock in Rio in 2000.
It was in this year that his second compilation CD was released called "October", with some tracks produced by his own record label ��Noise Music. The label started up in 1999 with the intention of bringing music to the world composed and produced by Brazilians. In his own words;" We Brazilians always buy music by gringo artists and the gringos in turn never have any of our music". There has already been great electronic music produced in Brazil of excellent quality waiting to be shown to the world.
In 2001 Anderson became a DJ in residence at "Headstart Night" in the "Turmills Club" of London, integrating a select group of Brazilian DJs that were playing in the UK and Europe at the time. At the same time Noise played abroad he would share the stage with great interational DJs when they would tour Brazil. The must notable of them who was impressed by the mineiro DJ was Carl Cox, considered the greatest DJ on the planet. Carl Cox was impressed by Noise's force of playing the first time Cox toured Brazil. "Anderson is very talented. He played with me sometime before, sometimes after. He also has his own label, Noise Music. They�re good records, too good to ignore. In the 2001 issue of DJ Magazine, "2002 Top 100", Cox classified Anderson as the future "DJ Hero'.
His third CD compilation came out in 2002, greatly pleasing his Brazilian fan base, "Noise Music Compilation 100% Mix, Anderson Noise". It was released by a major record company,bringing all of the best Noise Music tracks into the form of an awesome set list compilation. It was well received in Brazil as well as in Europe , calling the attention of Trevor Rockcliffe, the owner of Mentor Records, a very well respected English label.After hearing the material, Rockcliffe wanted to release "Voc� Mesmo" on his Mentor Label. In 2002 Anderson started up his radio show, �Radio Noise�, as one of his various weekly programs in his site.
In 2003 Anderson was invited by "DJ Magazine", the worlds most respected publication dedicated to electronic music, to produce his fourth CD, "DJ World Series, Anderson Noise". In a series of 5 records that the magazine released, where each DJ, representing a different continent would make a record representing his continent of origin, Anderson was chosen to represent Latin America.
From then on Noise's international career kept growing steadily.He has participated in the biggest international festivals: Homelands, Dance Valley, Creamfields, Sonar, Exit, Nokia Tredns, Rock in Rio Lisboa, SAMC, Knebworth Ministry of Sound, etc. His presentations around the world have given him the opportunity to play in various countries such as; Argentina, Bolivia, China, Chile, Colombia, Czech Republic, Ecuador, England, France, Germany, Holland, Ireland, Japan, Malaysia, Paraguay, Peru, Portugal, Scotland, Serbia and Montenegro, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, United States, Uruguay and Venezuela. Noises CD�s, records,and DVD's have been released by international labels such as AFU LAB, Audio, Circle Music, Desaper Here, Eukatech, Harthouse, Jericho, Lo Kik, Mentor, Missile, Molecular Pild, Primate and Spectrum and are being played throughout the world.
Noises fifth CD is an innovative one for the Brazilian public called, "Anderson Noise Live @ Skol Beats 04". It is the first electronic music CD recorded live by a Brazilian DJ during his gig at the Skol Beats Festival which is the biggest electronic music festival of it�s kind in Latin America. In Anderson�s never tiring mode, he released shortly afterwards the first DVD from a Brazilian DJ, "Brazilian Love Affair",that accompanies Anderson�s club/gig- circuit in many different states/regions of Brazil in which he is resident DJ. As far as Noise is concerned, there exists no limits that can't be surpassed.
In 2005 Noise created TV Noise together with �Toro Productions�, including weekly programs from the DJ�s perspective showing clubs,parties,and festivals in Brasil and all over the world. After having played in Tokyo,Anderson entered into a partnership with �Womb�,considered the second best club in the world by MIXMAG for presenting annual tours in Brazil and Japan.
In 2006 Anderson Noise for the second time closed Skol Beats,the principal electronic music festival of Latin America with great acclaim.In June he returned to Japan for his second tour of the �Womb Noise�project. This year he was ranked in the top 100 DJ�s,coming in at 79th place by DJ MAG.
2007 Anderson Noise was voted 54th in the top 100 DJ ranking from DJ Mag!Beyond being the only Brazilian DJ to compete at this level,Noise is the only one fro

text: When a conductive fluid is electrically charged, the dynamic behavior can be very different from the behavior in the absence of charge. The electrical charges tend to migrate to the surface and, once there, they suffer electrostatic repulsion forces. These forces are trying to destabilize all the fluid, which in absence of that forces would tend to adopt stable configurations. The instability results, in many cases, the emission of fluid microjets at certain points of the surface. This issue of microjets is the fundamental mechanism of electrospray techniques that allow the generation of microscopic droplets. It is also the foundation of the so-called colloidal thrusters used in micropropulsion. A classical result by Rayleigh establishes a viscous drop of a perfectly conducting liquid should become unstable for a large enough value of the net electric charge contained by the drop. We compute the correction to this result due to the fact that the drop, instead of containing a perfectly conducting fluid, contains a dielectric liquid with ions (electrolytes) dissolved. One particular issue that can be analyzed is the formation of the so-called Rayleigh jets that appear when a drop contains a supercritical amount of electric charges. It has been previously shown that when the fluid is perfectly conducting Rayleigh jets do not appear but instead conical tip singularities at the interface develop in finite time (cf. [1], [2]). We show that Rayleigh jets appear due to the corrections introduced by considering a finite ion mobility or equivalently, by replacing the Maxwell stress tensor for a perfect conductor by an asymptotic expressions that we obtained.

When I think if great QBs in the league today, I think:

Brady may have won 2 superbowls but he needs to make 5 to 7 yrs before I put him in the greats of all time.
#2- How do you justify (other than being a Viking fan) that Pep is better than Brady??? Are you INSANE? Pep shouldnt even be on that list...3 Straight Division Champs
SI Players' Poll on QBs
I didn't say he was better, I just said until he stays in the league longer, like a farve or a mcnair he doesn't get my vote. It is easy to say he is great after 3 years but I don't believe he is great until I get proof in the form of longevity. Look at that list of QBs 20 great QBs some a lot better than others in the term of leadership, all were skilled to get on that list. If he can struggle through a season when his team is crap then.
Montana was a great QB but I wouldn't have decalred him great after only 3 years.

5 or 6 years ago Warner would have been on this list just like greg BRADY
Is Warner on anyones list of great QBs now?

SI Players' Poll on QBs
Yeah, Brady did get the MVP. It would have been different wthout the FG and the def TD. I thought the MVP was ADAM, mister CLUTCH. 48yds time running out.
The defense and the kicker won that game.
Int rtn for td and a game winning FG. 48 yds!!!!

And I am not arguing with ya, muchluv.
Is Favre the gunslinger he was? Nope.
Is he starting to float some passes high? Yep.
Is he able to repoduce the crazy scrambling passes he used to? Not really, and Delhomme does it better.
Would I place him in the top 2? Probably not right now.
Would I place him in the top 10? Absolutely.
Like any aging player, pure raw talent is replaced with experience and knowledge. And he has one thing that a lot of QB's, including Pepper, don't have right now, and that's solid leadership and the ability to inspire a team. You don't hear Driver going up to Favre and saying "Come on, Brett, lead us!" like Moss was doing to Daunte last week.
Last season is a perfect example. Say what you will about the holy thumb and Papa Favre, but he managed to take a team that was not going to make the playoffs and came within a stupid offensive decision (4th and 1) and a stupid defensive play (4th and 26) of making it to the NFC Championship against a team we waxed in Week 1 this season. He is able to inspire a team to play better, and there's no stat for that.
That is what we will miss most when he retires, because I think it will be easy to replace his stats.
JMO...agreeing with you but still stating a case for him.
I agree with you Los. I just totally disagreed that favre was the 2nd best QB in the league right now. I think the players just put him up there because they respect what he has done in his career, but that doesn't mean they actually think he is the 2nd best QB in the league right now. I would definitely put brady, mcnair, and manning as the top 3, in no particular order. After that it is up for grabs, with daunte, favre, vick and mcnabb.

The beer pours a brown color with a thick frothy cream colored head that slowly fades to lacing. The aroma is good. It has a nice malty scent that boasts of pale and crystal malts along with a dry, yet fruity Belgian yeast aroma. The scent is sweet and creamy; very nice. The taste is great. It has a very smooth and rich malty flavor with a sweet and warm finish. It is full of flavor and malt complexity. The mouthfeel is excellent as well. It is a full bodied beer with adequate carbonation. This is a damn good beer. It is full of flavor and aroma; a great drinker.

First had: bottle at Eulogy, Philly, PA
Also known as Kasteel Bruin. From the name, I thought this was a brown ale. But it's actually something between a dark strong ale and a quad, and is labelled as the latter by BA.
Poured a dark semi-hazy brown with just a bit of head that receded to a film of bubbles. Caramel malts and peppery spice in the aroma, and distinct alcohol. Similar taste with sweet malts and Belgian sugar, slight molasses, and some dark fruits also noticeable; not as much spice as I detected in the aroma. Medium-heavy body with some carbonation, pretty drinkable, but a bit strong.

4.1/5 rDev 0%
Pours dark brown with a thin, dissipating head.
The smell is of brown sugar and toffee. Some banana-like fruitiness in the back mingles with the dark maltiness.
The taste is sweet - brown sugar upfront. Complexities arise as it progresses: dark friuts - plum/prune/raisins and licorice. Sherry-like with some earthiness. Sweet, rainsiny finish.
Full-bodied, it is almost sticky/cloying, but has a nice, velvety texture.
The sweetness and abv slow this one down, but it is a nice, complex, dark Belgian brew that is very nice to sip on.

This beer was served to me in an interesting goblet with the beer logo on the side. A dark, dark brown beer with an initial (though not long lasting) tan creamy head. The beer is quite sweet with lots of caramel notes. A bit of toffee as well, and a finish that is lightly bitter. The bitter seems to be as much from the high alcohol as from the hops. It has quite a thick body that gently caresses and coats the mouth in it soothing embrace. This is quite a good beer, A dark contemplative brew that is great as a rainy Belgian afternoon snack.

Beautiful off-white head of three fingers. Lots of lace. The color of the brew is brown where light barely shines through. Attractive.
Farmlike smells; earthy and dark. Some crystal and chocolate malt aromas.
Sweeter than I expected. Strongly malty. Notable alcohol warmth. The body is warming (from the alcohol strength) and thick. The carbonation is relatively light for the creaminess. I don't detect any hop or any other balancing ingredient.
This is an easy beer with which to get snookered. It's subtle and powerful. It isn't a beer with complexity.

11.2 oz. Belgian-style stubby bottle,
A: Pours a reddish brown, with a thick tan-orange head, that's the best I can describe it, which lasts forever, though the bubbles are a little too fizzy in the beginning.
S: Smells heavily of raw brown sugar and prunes, raisins and figs.
T: This may be the sweetest beer I have ever had. Full of residual sugar, the heavy sweetness shocked me a little at first, but I soon got into it. This malt barrage is backed by a large amount of dark fruit, specifically raisin and prune, and also what could be a bit of almond brittle, and Mission fig.
M: Thick and rich, almost syrupy, a little cloying at times, warming as well, there is a definite alcohol burn on the first sip.
D: An interesting beer, I've heard this described as a Belgian Barleywine, and I can understand why, though Quadrupel seems to fit it well as a style on this site. A very good beer, sweet and warming, the smell and taste could use a bit more "oomph," but overall, an enjoyable warming beer, or nightcap.

Deep joy, another beer presented to me to pour by my daughter at her Belgian beer and food night.
Poured into the lovely correct goblet style glass with the castle design on the base of the glass stem. The glass really sets it off nicely.
Very dark, almost forbodingly dark, with a rich biege head, wonderful. Held up to the light you can see it is clear and clean, even though it is so dark in apperance.
The whole experience was good, the aroma was a dark chocolate cake mix with currents, the taste not far off the same.
Rich and smooth feel to it, very drinkable even at 11%, we polished off 4 (small) bottles on the night.

As noted by others, this is somewhere between a high ABV brown ale and a Belgian quad, but not really either definitively. I was served a bottle of this in Ghent, Belgium. It was poured into a Kasteel goblet; Belgians really take delicate care to utilize proper glassware. In the same bar I reviewed this in, a waitress was ashamed when a customer asked (in Flemish) for the proper glassware, because she realized she had served a beer in the wrong glass. Dropping more eaves than was polite, I noticed that the "wrong glass" was actually a glass from the correct brewer but not the exact beer for the bottle. Respect. Reviewed from notes.
A: Half-finger head; actually thin. Fair retention, especially considering its 11% ABV. Black colour. Perhaps some might call it an extreme dark brown.
Sm: Caramel, nuts, and light alcohol. I was disappointed to discover the alcohol is present even in the smell, which isn't a great sign.
T: Caramel and nut hop body. Complex. Balanced but strangely built for either style (brown & quad). The dark fruit I've come to expect in a quad is missing, replaced by the standard brown ale nutty hops. The effect is confusing, if not jarring, but the beer still tastes good. You get acclimated and it tastes better.
Mf: Nicely coarse and wet. The alcohol is warming, but a bit unwelcome.
Dr: Not good enough to order again at this price. I can't imagine what this costs in countries in which it's an import.
Reviewed again on-draught in SoCal. 2009 vintage.
A: Pours no head at all. Body colour is a caramel-brown. Nontransparent. No yeast particles are visible. No bubble show.
Sm: Caramalts. Biscuit malts. Brown malt. Residual sugars. Minimal floral hop character. Toffee. Quite sweet. A mild strength aroma.
T: Sweet. Malty, with caramalt, biscuit malt, and brown malts. Simple but enjoyable. Decently balanced for what it is.
Mf: Smooth and wet. Decent carbonation. Good thickness. Suits the flavour profile well.
Dr: Drinkable and enjoyable, but a bit too sweet and simple. I wouldn't get it again, but I'm glad I revisited it. Liqueur-esque.

750ml bottle corked/caged: 11/03 - cork, Best Before 11/08 on bottle...
Appears a dark, dense mahogany brown with a creamy 2 finger tan foam that settles into a foamy cap that doesn't want to leave. Fine amounts of lacing are left around the glass.
Smell is of caramel, brown sugar, vanilla, raisins, molasses, nuts, earthy yeast notes, and mild clove and peppery spices. There is also a gentle port wine character to it, along with an aged, and slightly oxidized, cork laden aroma that doesn't detract too much from the overall complexity and beauty of this beer.
Taste is of the mentioned aromas in a mix that is comparible to the best that Belgium has to offer. Lots of caramel and candy flavors entice the palate with sweets, spices, and a gentle alcohol punch that lets you know this is a heavyweight.
Mouthfeel is smooth, medium bodied, warming, complex, mildly bitter towards the cocoa powdery, dry finish.
Opened this with a friend to celebrate the births of my new daughter, and his new son. He stays away from dark beer but this one certainly won him over.

4.15/5 rDev +1.2%
Poured from a dusty green bottle - thanks to a friend - of an unknown vintage, the bottle has a 08-2009 marking on it.
Right after the pour I get a slightly musty aroma, like it's been laid on its side and absorbed a little cork, or seen a little oak. Dark fruits also dominate with plum and date aromas and a little clove around the edges.
The appearance is a hazy brown with a quickly disappearing (acceptable for an 11% brew) tan head that leaves a little lacing. The flavor reminds me vaguely of plum wine for the smooth esters. I'm also tasting white grape and blueberry with the plum and dates. There's also a slight spiciness that could come from either noble hops of yeast phenols, either way they add a nice subtle layer.
Overall, this is a very good beer and incredibly smooth for the strength, but it doesn't quite have the awe-inspiring complexity of the great quads. Still, very much worth trying.

From a growler purchased at Half Time, pours dark mahogony, seems to be pretty low in carbonation, mellow head, with just minor lacing observed. Nose is nicely glowing with cola, vanilla, bourbon and spice. Strong late night sipper kind of brew. Plenty of dark candi sugars, cola, alcohol, complexity etc to please all the strong beer/quad lovers out there. Character, boldness obviously evident, well worth a try if you like the style, not for everybody, but certaintly for me! A treat and in nice shape on tap/growler.

(Served in an long stemmed chalice)
A- This beer has a smooth creamy head on a dark dense brown thick body. I couldn't tell if there was any visible carbonation but it was low light in the bar.
S- Nice smell of dark sweet malts with notes of prunes and other dried fruit. A hint of molasses in the finish also.
T- This is deep complex flavors but hints of apples and prunes stuck out the most. As it warmed it became more of an apple juice flavor. However there were lots of other flavors like port and brown sugar with some prunes and red wine hints also.
M- Medium-light mouthfeel with a hint of alcohol but it doesn't feel like 11 %
D- This is a good complex malty beer that has great complexity. I happen to meet the brewer after I wrote my review and he said the kegs are all pasteurized but the bottles are still alive and kicking so I will have to try those next.

Pours a four-finger brown head that fades slowly leaving a good lace. Mahogany/brown color. Good carbonation and medium bodied. Malty nose. Flavor is caramel, dark fruit, sweet. Clean finish. High ABV is hidden. I need more of these to cellar! Bottled Jul 2007, $4.20 for a 330ml bottle from a Tully's Beer & Wine Wells, ME.

11.2 ounce bottle into chalice, bottled on 090901. Pours fairly clear super dark brown color with a small off white head that recedes quickly to a ring of lace. Small amounts of spotty glass lacing; with slight carbonation streaming up from the bottom. Aromas of big raisin, grape, prune, molasses, caramel, candi sugar, red wine, bread, and slight yeast spiciness. Some nice and well balanced aromas with good strength. Taste of big raisin, grape, prune, caramel, molasses, pear, apple, toffee, candi sugar, bread, red wine, earth, and slight yeast spiciness. Lingering notes of raisin, prune, molasses, caramel, bread, toffee, and earth on the finish for a good bit. Very sweet with minimal spiciness; but it is not cloying at all. Fantastic flavor balance and good complexity. Light-medium carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a nice creamy and fairly slick mouthfeel. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a very slight warming noticed on the finish. Overall this is a fantastic Belgian quad! Big flavors with good balance and complexity; and very smooth to sip on for being 11%. Loved this one, and will get it again sometime.

Hooray Belgium.
The beer is chestnut brown with crimson highlights, sporting nearly an inch of beige head. The aroma offers dark fruits, yeast, malt, alcohol, brown sugar. The taste follows suit, with the 11% abv well hidden. Sweet, but not cloying. Thick body with moderate carbonation. Palate coating and a tad syrupy. Notes of nuts (clever alliteration, n'est pas?), perhaps almonds. Brown sugar, spices, perhaps nutmeg. a solid quad. I would definitely have this again.

At first glance 'brune' seems about all there is to this beer but a birds-eye inspection reveals a universe of colour swirling about the glass. In both reflection and rim there is cognac-like amber, Bordeaux-like red, and rich roasted coffee brown. If this sample is proper indication, expect to see as much head as the Atacama dessert does rain.
I don't need to read the label to know that this is strong; each and every of the eleven percent alcohol is present and accounted for. Still, this potent fog hardly makes breathing more difficult, instead it makes it so much more pleasurable: notes of dark sugar and toffee, anisette, dried cherries, figs, dates and plums reward each breath.
It's a marvel how such disparate things as figs and yeast, barley malt and dates can end up tasting so much alike. When we use to the term 'fruity' in describing beer flavours it is most often a suggestive, nuanced term. Not in this case. The taste is exactly as I'd imagine a blend of macerated figs, dates, dark cherries and pomegranates.
It is like dark fruits were pressed through a sieve, their juices distilled and then the distillate was blended back in with the puree as well as some additional juices. This has the lush, plumpness of perfectly ripened, in season fruits as well as their intense, potent, concentrated spirits. It has as much depth and complexity as any single malt, spirit or wine.
The beer's heightened flavours and fervent potency definitely lend it to a snifter. Often times more can be better with these toothsome, sensual Belgian ales but I'm happy this came in the 33cl bottle because a 75cl one would simply be overkill. It's needless to have more than one glass to appreciate a beer so exorbitant and gratifying.
This is one of those ales that inspires people to make the claim that 'beer is more sophisticated than wine'. While wishing to keep myself out of that discussion, I'll admit, Kasteel Bruin certainly helps out their argument - it really does transcend the world of malted beverages. Any first-rate, self-respecting beer cellar will keep this in stock.

A: Poured a bright, and vibrant cranberry-sherry color with a thin creamy khaki colored head which quickly gave way leaving a thin, broken film lacing on the way down.
S: very vinous, tart grapes and berries with some noticeable alcohol.
T: sweet sugary malt with vinous grapes, tart berries and a big tart alcohol flavor. There was a big acidity with a wine like nature. Ripe fruit and sugar plums were detected before finishing with a warming tart alcohol finish. Overall a sweet, very acidic, vinous drink that drank more like a sherry or wine then beer. Good overall, but probably wouldn't be interested in buying again.
M: light, very vinous, smooth with sweet sugary malt and tart berries followed by a big tart alcohol finish on the swallow.
D: A nice drink overall, but definitely a slow sipper and the bomber will take a while to get through. The alcohol was noticeable but was halfway through the bottle before I read the 11.0% abv which soon made sense. A good drink I thought but more wine then beer which sways me not to try again.

Only beer I've had that got progressively worse and undrinkable as time went on. Pours a dark mahogany brown, lots of off white head and lacing. Smells is sweet malt, alcohol, and dark fruits. Taste is horribly sweet, dark cherries, and overpowering alcohol. The mouthfeel was the only pleasant thing about this beer, the carbonation was good. This beer is only good for cooking, it tasted like brown sugar mixed with rubbing alcohol, and this was a bottle that had been aged for 7 months at my house. Insanely one dimensional, it burns from the alcohol. Not recommended at all, horrible. It took all my willpower to force it down and not throw this out.

3.53/5 rDev -13.9%
Appearance: Very nice dark chestnut brown with deep amber and red highlights. This was topped by a thin lacing of light brown foam that showed a little stickage and good retention.
Smell: Big roasted malt aroma with some alcohol, dried fruit, tobacco, and floral/perfumy hops. Nice complexity and balance.
Taste: A little too sweet for my taste. Maltiness is quite strong with a good deal of cherry-like fruitiness. Not much in the way of bitterness to balance the sweetness. The finish is quite long, with a spicy phenols and alcohol becoming prominent.
Mouthfeel: Full body and viscous, with lots of unfermented sugars. Low carbonation. In fact, it leaves a sticky residue on the lips. Alcohol warmth is noticeable on the tongue and at the back of the throat.
Drinkability: The syrupy sweetness makes it difficult to get through a whole bottle by myself. The aroma and flavours are quite pleasant, but I just can't get over the sweetness...

Pours a dark brown color. 1/2 inch head of a pale tan color. Good retention and decent lacing. Smells of sweet malt, hops, citrus, tart malt, and slight roasted malt. Fits the style of a Belgian Strong Dark Ale. Mouth feel is smooth and crisp with an average carbonation level. Tastes of alcohol, sweet malt, slight hops, caramel, slight tart malt, yeast, and slight cherry. Overall, good body, but noticeably strong alcohol dominates.

Three year olds…
… not sure what to think of them.
My child was so much easier to manage as a two year old. Before he could speak properly. Nowadays he finds new ways to send me over the edge every single day. The power of repetition, he's definitely cracked it. He also seems to cop on to the fact that being nice to people can earn you some brownie points. What did he say to me the other day? 'Mummy, you look pretty!' Then after a little pause: 'I am saying this because I love you!' Hm, what to make of this now? I'm sure the statement came out with the best of intentions but if he was a grown up, I would have smacked him! He also has learned how to charm the ladies at pre-school, he just takes their hands and leads them to the toy he wants to play with and they are chuffed by how sweet he is. But then their JOB is to play with him, so it's OK.
Pre-school and his new found confidence in English have definitely changed him. He can finally make himself understood (most of the time) and if over excitement doesn't get in the way, he's trying really hard to communicate his play ideas to other children. He's actually using German grammar in some English phrases, it sounds funny: 'I know that not' (I don't know). Unfortunately he's also joining in with all stupid loud and annoying games nowadays. He started to push a little for fun. Not so nice. And he ignores my 'NOOOOO's.
The good news is that he's finally properly out of nappies. We had a few bigger accidents in the first weeks but lately they get scarce and even the big toilet is not a show stopper any more. I don't even have to remind him all the time, he's quite a good judge of when to go.
To follow up on my last post, my eBay selling went well, I was happy with the result. However, we still haven't put together the remaining of our new Ikea shelves. I think I'll leave this to Frank for when Yannick and I will be in Germany. We are going there for three weeks and he can have all the fun with about 10,000 screws and other bits!
Oh, finally, here a recent drawing that Yannick did. And don't tell me you can't see what it is!

Just how big is 53.5 points in Olympic basketball?
Well, BeyondTheBets.com did the math. And in 16 Olympics appearances in which they have won 13 gold medals, the United States has won 15 games by 54 points or more. But it has only happened twice since the U.S. started using NBA players in 1992. And it hasn't happened at all since 1996.
So, while the game will never be in doubt. It will be interesting to see if the United States can push the score to rare heights.

A lawsuit filed by the state of Florida against Georgia over its water consumption could be challenged in the U. S. Supreme Court this month.
Meanwhile Governor Nathan Deal says southwest Georgia farmers won't be left out of the fight and are actually helping with the battle.
Deal says many who claim Georgia uses an over abundance of water have made bogus claims as to the amount of water farmers use for agricultural purposes. He says water metering initiatives are helping show just how much water is being used for agricultural purposes.
"With participation the farm community has had in the metering system it has shown that the usage is not nearly as great as many people have tried to exaggerate it to be," Deal said in Albany. "So we will continue to try to be sensitive because agriculture is the number one industry in the state of Georgia and we will not abandon that."
Last month the state of Florida sued Georgia citing it's unchecked and growing consumption of water which the allege has crippled the states oyster industry.

The Oklahoma City Thunder hope Game 2 of their first round playoff series against the Dallas Mavericks goes a little easier than Saturday's game one.
The Thunder trailed for much of the game until Kevin Durant's floating jumper with 1-point-5 seconds left lifted OKC to a 99-98 win over the Mavs at Chesapeake Arena.
Oklahoma City also hosts Game 2 Monday night. Head coach Scott Brooks says the Thunder have to play their game to beat the defending champs.
"We're not going to change, we're not going to be a slow-down, half court, 13-pass team," Brooks said. "We have to defend you, we have to make you turn it over and we have to rebound and run. We are at our best when we have that formula. In the playoffs, we're not going to change it we just have to do it better every game."
Only five players scored in the game for the Thunder, with Russell Westbrook leading the way with 28. Durant added 25, Serge Ibaka had 22 and James Harden scored 19 off the bench.
Tonight's game is scheduled for an 8:30 p.m. tip-off and can ben seen on TNT.

Gloucester Daily Times
---- — The idea of jumping into a body of water to cool off no doubt crosses just about everybody's mind these days, and that was especially the case last week, when temperatures reached into the 90s for five straight days.
But it's hard to believe that at least a dozen young people chose to do so in reservoirs — bodies of water that are labeled as part of Gloucester's public water supply – and even more troubling that, by all appearances, those partying by and swimming in the these waters had not come upon them by accident, but made them their destination.
To that end, it was good to see Gloucester Police crack down on the practice last week, when officers arrested 12 people — nine from Reading, three from Danvers — and towed eight cars from the Klondike and Haskell reservoirs. Yet it's also clear that other public drinking water swimming holes, like Dykes Reservoir, are drawing visitors as well (see news story, Page 1). And that's getting to be a scary prospect for city residents.
We'd all like to think, of course, that the city's drinking water system and its chloramines would make our water safe for drinking by the time it flows from these reservoirs to our home taps. And it's important to note that, no, there is not yet any sign whatsoever of any water contamination.
But it's also important to listen to the words of Larry Durkin, Gloucester's DPW environmental engineer and resident water expert. While noting that officials are generally powerless to keep any wild animals out of the reservoirs, it would be nice if some of those "wild animals" weren't humans as well. With people hitting the water as well, he said, "you're more likely to get e. coli bacteria into a surface water supply."
Look, the city cannot possibly fence off all of its reservoirs, and it's not practical to have uniformed officers spending entire shifts on reservoir patrol.
It could be worth a look, however, to have reserve officers spend more time in the areas prone to these reckless and disrespectful swimmers, at least through the summer season. And it is essential that our courts take these charges seriously and assess fines that represent more than the usual slap on the wrist.
Diving into the ocean or a pond is obviously a cooling experience on a hot day; but diving into a reservoir isn't cool, it's against the law, and it can threaten public safety. Let's hope the city continues to step up its efforts to drive that point home.

Suspect shot, killed in officer-involved shooting after high-speed chase identified
Police say man had female hostage during pursuit
ESCONDIDO, Calif. - A man who was fatally shot by a San Diego police officer in Escondido after a high-speed chase, during which police say he had taken the female driver hostage, has been identified.
The suspect's name has not been officially released, but a family member identified him to 10News as 27-year-old Aaron DeVenere of San Diego.
"I came here to try and figure out what was going on, asked detectives stuff and they didn't give me any answers ... of course they can't," the man's aunt told 10News. "I told them I know you know if there was a gun in the car, but they told me they couldn't tell me anything."
The incident started when San Diego police officers attempted to pull over a truck during a routine traffic stop shortly before 7 a.m. Sunday on northbound Interstate 15 near Aero Drive.
Police say the woman driving was being held hostage by a man in the passenger seat.
"A male subject emerged from the vehicle very aggressively, very uncooperatively and then jumped back in the car and a pursuit ensued," said Escondido police Lt. Neal Griffin.
The pursuit reached speeds of up to 80 mph. Police say the man called San Diego police during the chase and said he had kidnapped the driver and was forcing the driver to flee, and made threats that he had a gun pointed at her and would shoot her.
In addition to the gun, the suspect also said he was armed with an explosive device, according to Griffin.
The pursuit ended in gunfire about 40 minutes later in the vicinity of North Centre City Parkway and Country Club Lane in Escondido.
Officers put down spike strips, which deflated two tires before the truck came to a stop. A San Diego police officer fired a single shot, which killed the suspect.
The driver was released from the hospital after being treated for minor injuries sustained in the incident. It is unclear what her relationship is to the suspect.
The bomb squad searched the truck but did not immediately find a gun or any explosives.
Investigators are now looking into a motive.
"It did appear on a number of occasions the victim tried to stop the vehicle, but she wasn't allowed," said Griffin. "At this point, we're going to investigate whether she was allowed to stop the vehicle."
Northbound Centre City Parkway was closed at Country Club Lane, according to Escondido police.
The off-ramp from Interstate 15 to North Center City Parkway was also closed because of police activity, according to the California Highway Patrol.

Wait For Us In The Respawn Brother, Then We'll All Take The Field Together
THIS $7 DEVICE WILL SAVE YOU FROM THE MOST COMMON TYPE OF INJURY WE FACE IN AIRSOFT. A mom recently called me and had a really good idea. We tell everyone at the safety briefings over and over about how important it is for the younger players to wear either a full face mask OR a mouthguard when playing airsoft. We do not require our players to actually wear either of those things if they are comfortable without them. However, we have 3-4 teeth chipped every year. THERE IS NO SMILING IN AIRSOFT GUYS! Or if you must smile at your opponenets, you'd be smart to wear one of these when you play. Just another heads up to our players. The choice is yours, but we HIGHLY recommend that you wear one of these on game days.
Player news
Bad Karma Airsoft is the 3rd largest Airsoft Field in the country and the largest field of it's kind in the U.S. The field is privately owned and 100% supported by the players who play on it. Bad Karma Airsoft is not a business... just a place to come and play. The field upkeep, additions and maintenance comes directly from the $25 annual field dues donated by the players. There is no other cost to play on the field with the exception of a couple special games held during the year. Once a player has paid their field dues, they can play FOR FREE at any open game or they may reserve the field for their own playdates.
The field is open for public playdates all year long with the Official Season lasting from the middle of March until the Middle of November.
The field is the home of the annual "Noob Day" event in March, which is the second largest annual airsoft event in the country and the annual "Colombian Blend" Scenario Game in September.
The field is open to anyone 15 or older by themselves or 14 and under as long as a parent or guardian is on-site with them. Most field play dates are open to anyone that wants to come by and play, but the field can be reserved for private or "pay to play" functions as well.

How Falling Exchange Rates 2000-2007 Have Affected the U.S. Economy and Trade Deficit (Evaluated Using the Federal Reserve's G-10 Exchange Rate)
AbstractFalling exchange rates reduce the purchasing power of the dollar, increasing import prices. Higher import prices have two effects. (1) A substitution effect that shifts demand from imported to domestically produced goods. (2) An income effect that reduces the total amount of real income available for spending on domestic goods and foreign goods. Based on U.S. 1960 - 2000 data, this paper estimates an econometric model that finds that the income effects of falling exchange rates overwhelms the substitution effects, causing a net negative influence on the GDP and income. Results indicate demand for both imported and domestic consumer and investment goods is adversely affected because the income effect is so dominant.. For investment goods, there was virtually no substitution effect out of imported goods when import prices rose due to a falling exchange rate. Declining real income also caused decreased demand for domestically produced investment goods. For consumer goods, the substitution effect stimulated domestic demand, but was more than offset by the negative effect of declining income. The decrease in demand for domestic goods and services was 3.6 times as large as the decrease in demand for imports. Therefore, the trade deficit fell far less in dollars than the GDP. The study estimates that, other things equal, the trade deficit would fall from 4.3% to 2.1% of the GDP as a result of a large twenty percent weakening of the dollar, such as occurred 2000-07. Had the exchange rate not fallen during this period, we estimate the average annual growth rate of the U.S. economy would have been 3.7%, not the 2.7% it has actually averaged, assuming sufficient capital and labor availability to do so. Finally, we find that a falling trade deficit induced by falling exchange rates, reduces the size of the annual transfer of U.S. assets to foreigners needed to finance the deficit, but does not result in a faster rate of net growth for U.S. assets, because declining income also reduces domestic savings by a comparable amount.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) – If your New Year's resolution includes counting calories, new research suggests the food labels at many fast food and sit-down restaurants under cut the numbers by almost 20-percent.
Researchers at Tufts University measured the calories in 29 meals from quick-serve and dine-in restaurants and counted the calories in several popular entres and compared it to the calorie count the restaurant has posted. They found the nutrition guides for eating out were actually about 20% more calories that what they said. This finding is actually not too alarming since the FDA allows for the calorie counts to be off by up to 20%.
A bigger concern is that some restaurants included side dishes when you order, but did not include the total meal calories in the nutrition guide, which in some cases turned out to be double the calories listed.
