An Atlanta restaurant on Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard is in some hot water with the health department this week.
"When they came in last Wednesday I wasn't on shift," Yasin's employee Ebony Sealey said.
Yasin's Homestyle Seafood failed with 48 points and a "U" for unsatisfactory. An employee did not wash their hands with soap, raw fish was stored above tomatoes and utensils were not sanitized.
"Why not wash hands with soap? Everybody knows to do that," CBS46's Adam Murphy asked.
"If you come in we have a facility right there with the soap and water to wash your hands. What the employees do when I'm not on shift I don't know, but when I'm on shift my hands are always clean," Sealey said.
Management took us into the kitchen to show us how they've corrected most violations, but we still found a hidden health inspection, uncovered ice used in customers drinks and raw chicken sitting in buckets of water in the kitchen.
"This is how the health department told us to set it up, that way we don't have to be back in forth in the refrigerator, which is contamination," Sealey said.
"Have you ever had a score this low?" Murphy asked.
"No, we've never had a score this low since I've been working here," Sealey said.
Now to some good scores.
Our featured restaurant of the week is McGuire's Biscuits and BBQ near Lawrenceville in the city of Auburn at 1365 4th Avenue. They're open for breakfast and lunch and everything on their menu is under $10. Plus, they received 100 points on their inspection.

Ben Hill County -- A Fitzgerald man whose family were victims of a break-in has a warning that what happened to his loved ones could happen to anyone. Now he's calling on residents in Ben Hill County to protect their community.
Rev.Stacey Foster was in a state of panic last week when he returned home to discover that thieves had broken the locks on the back door of his home.
"They had to snatch this door here open in order to get entrance here," says Foster as he point to his broken back door.
Foster says the thieves didn't just break in his back door they came inside his home and stole a DVD player. Then the thieves went inside his bedroom where his wife and 1-year-old child were sleeping. They snatched the sleeping women's purse off the desk and made their get away.
"They removed everything off the computer stand right beside her head and it was just a stunning thing to her that she did not wake up while they were in the residence," says Foster.
But Foster's neighbor Harold Window says he was not shocked there was a burglary in his South Jackson street neighborhood. He says just last week thieves lifted several bikes and a scooter out of his backyard.
"Lately there have been nothing but burglaries around here," says Windom.
Burglaries Foster says he wants to help stop by calling on the neighbors on his block and all over Ben Hill County to work together so they won't become the next victims.
"Call immediately, as soon as you see something that does not look right in the neighborhood. Don't keep your mouth closed ,call them and notify them let them know that something is gone wrong in the neighborhood," says Foster.
Keeping an eye out for each other and becoming the first line defense for neighborhood safety.
Police have arrested and charged a man with burglarizing the Foster's home.

Weber GrillsJune 7th, 2010
There is nothing that smells as good as food sizzling on a red-hot grill (with the possible exception of onion and garlic sauteing in hot butter.) With summer fast approaching, you may be in the market for a new gas or charcoal grill. I've been using a Weber Genesis for about one year. Before that, I had a Weber Baby Q (due to a small living space and a small budget). Both grills have been absolutely outstanding, but what I have also discovered is that Weber is also quite possibly the most helpful and responsible company I have ever dealt with.
In general, I noticed right away that the products were of wonderful quality; easy to assemble and very solid. I haven't had any issues with the grills. My first experience with Weber's customer support came when a Weber-branded cookbook I purchased began to have issues with the binding (pages were coming loose). I sent an e-mail to Weber's general customer support address, expecting absolutely nothing in return. Most companies don't respond to e-mail with anything more than a canned "thank you for your e-mail, we will look into it," and I assumed I had basically wasted my time. I was surprised to receive this promptly in return:
"Dear Jon,
Thank you for your email. I apologize for the disappointment with the pages falling out of the cook book. We will send a replacement at no charge. Please provide me with your shipping address and phone number. If you need further assistance, please let me know."
I had heard that the customer service was good, but I guess I was still surprised that they were willing to take responsibility so quickly and correct the issue without suspicion or complaint. That's the way it should be, but many companies are not doing things that way.
I'm not the only one with this Weber customer support experience. Now that I know the company better and have been talking with other Weber grillers, similar stories from others are everywhere. One man recently posted that he had somehow managed to bend part of the cookbox (a heavy tray under the grill to catch ashes and drips). He contacted customer service. Weber immediately offered to send out a new one free of charge. No questions asked.
Weber's grills appear to be expensive for what you get when they are lined up against the gigantic, shiny cheap grills at Lowe's and Home Depot. Other grill brands seem to offer more features and more space at a much lower cost, and they appear to be well-made at a glance. Don't be fooled. Most grills that are half the price of Weber really aren't built to last. They are usually made overseas. They often have terrible customer service and are difficult to assemble or maintain. Sometimes, the parts themselves are just plain crappy quality.
My parents used to buy a new brand-X grill for $200 every 4 years. Each time, it rusted and fell apart. As I feel about cookware and many other things in life, buy once and buy right. A Weber Genesis or Summit grill will last 15 years and longer if it is even minimally cared for. If you do have a problem, Weber will make it right. It's worth the cost.
As for my Genesis gas grill, it's just about perfect. The electronic igniter lights immediately, every time. Food is cooked evenly and it's simple to get a very hot sear. The stainless steel grates are very thick and very durable. The temperature gauge is accurate. And the whole thing looks nice in stainless steel. It's been a dream. A few times the burners did snuff out while heating the grill, but that is probably my fault for trying to grill in very windy 40 degree weather over the winter.
Buying a Weber grill was the right choice. It's one of the rare times I feel that I got more than I paid for. So, if you are looking for a new grill this summer, forget all of those shiny, tempting "bargains" at the store. Weber gets my whole-hearted recommendation – both the product and the customer service are top notch.

The November 18 issue of Radio World (US) features the smiling face of none other than Leo Laporte, "The Tech Guy," on the cover. (Over to the left, you can see his big bronze Axia Element console peeking out from behind the mic arm).
Inside, you can read the story of how Leo, once an ordinary talk radio host, rose to become a syndicated radio personality heard on over 160 stations every week. And along the way, built his TWiT (This Week in Technology) network into a powerhouse of of streaming tech shows covering just about every angle of today's consumer and professional technology. Telos' own Kirk Harnack even has his own show - TWiRT (This Week in Radio Tech) avidly followed by broadcasters around the US and abroad.
Naturally, we're very happy that Leo, a tech guru par excellence, has chosen to equip his studios with Axia consoles and routing equipment. His latest addition, a Radius IP console, was installed as part of the new TWiT studios detailed in the Radio World article. After all, it's always neat when you get to hang around the cool kids.

Boston sends Rajon Rondo and Keyon Dooling to Milwaukee in exchange for Brandon Jennings and Andrew Bogut.
If any Rondo trade takes place I think it should be for Brandon Jennings. Jennings is young, and he can score in bunches. BJ wants out of Milwaukee after this season to play in a bigger market, could Boston be his next home? I really like him he's a hard worker and he's filled with potential. Not sure if we could get Bogut from the Bucks but if we could we would have a solid center. He can score, rebound and is capable of being a really good shot blocker. The only bad thing about Bogut is he's always injured. Guess he would fit in here perfectly right?
Personally I don't want Rondo to be traded, break up the Big 3 first. Why would we give up our young all star point guard vs almost washed up vets? We should sign a player or two in the offseason to play with Rondo.
Whatever we you Danny, DON'T TRADE RONDO TO THE LAKERS!!!!

NEW YORK — Miguel Cabrera of the Tigers and Chris Davis of the Orioles look to be the favorites for American League Most Valuable Player, but who is the Red Sox' representative in the balloting?
So many players have saved the day. Will Middlebrooks did Sunday with a tying home run off Mariano Rivera in the ninth inning, though the Red Sox finally lost the game, 4-3, on a wild pitch by Brandon Workman in the bottom of the ninth to score Ichiro Suzuki.

November 2, 2006
Nashville - The Berrien County Sheriffs Office also participated in Operation Falcon Three.
They worked closely with US Marshals and deputies from Tift, Colquitt and Dougherty counties to arrest dangerous criminals and sex offenders.
Deputies from Berrien County primarily worked in other counties during the operation... but they did arrest four suspects on minor drug charges.
Sheriff Jerry Brogdon says although the operation ended last week... they will continue the efforts initiated by the program. "It's an on-going thing. It didn't quit on the 28th. There are others out there that we haven't found but will be included in the final numbers once we get them arrested."
This was the third time Berrien County participated in the program. They hope to be a part of Operation Falcon Four.

The Steelers are now on the clock. Pittsburgh finished with the best Defense in football last year but was destoryed by what was Tebowmania. They lost their #1 RB in the last game of the season with an ACL tear and that means that for the 2012 season it is expected to not play at all. All 3 of their back-up QB are set to hit the market and your only as good as your back-up as teams like the Colts and Bears found out. We hate the Steelers so not much more to say about this team.

The Xbox One's UI May have sold me on the Kinect pack-in
I'm sitting in a small room with Jeff Henshaw, who is the Engineering Manager on the Xbox One platform, and I'm here to take a look at the stuff that's supposed to be a broken mess. The user interface, the voice commands, the swapping from app to app… according to Internet rumor none of this stuff works, and everyone is in a panic.
Henshaw laughs when I bring this up, and asks what forums or sites I've been reading. He seems laid back, and excited to show off the work.
That's not to say that the team isn't working hard to get this out the door. I asked how many people are crunching on getting the software finished. "Everybody," he said.
"We have several hundred people that are cranking away on both the console client and the Live service as well as all the support for game developers. You will probably hear a few quotes that we have been throwing around the last few days," he explained.
"All of our launch titles are now in certification. Or out of certification. We have some that are being pressed onto DVDs now. That was a huge magic moment. We have a bell that we ring whenever a title ships. And to have the Xbox One bell being rung, as titles come out of certification and are being manufactured on BluRay discs was a huge, huge moment for us."
The Kinect has a towel over it, and Henshaw removes the blinder and takes a few steps back. The interface changes as it recognizes him, and brings all his content to the home screen. You can see his individual things he has pinned to the home screen, including The Walking Dead so he can always catch the latest episode. There is a frozen instance of Forza 5 that he can jump in and out of instantly.
There is an impressive level of granularity here: If you pin a show like The Walking Dead you can pin the series in general, or a specific season, or a single episode. With music you can pin a station, a playlist, an artist, a specific album, or even just a song.
The system can keep one game "hot" at any time, so you can pause the game and move to a television show or a Skype call or anything else and the game sinks into the background until you call it back up. There is no loading time, no need to save the game. It simply goes away into the background, and you can return via a voice command at any time.
"Kinect actually has an array of microphones in it that can do a tech called Beam Forming. It's able, to within about five inch accuracy, which is about the width of a human mouth, pinpoint the source of a spoken command, so when it hears someone say the command that we just said, it knows which skeleton it came from. And it has mapped that skeleton to a biometric profile on the console," Henshaw said.
So when I say "Xbox, show me my stuff," it matches the voice, but also my relative size in the room. My son can walk in and give the same command, and it will match the voice and his size and bring up his content. If he does so and tries to play an M-rated game and his account is locked down, he won't be able to play.
"We actually want to be pretty liberal about letting people play as other people," Henshaw said. "If I can't get past a level, I want to be able to hand you the controller and get your help. So we stayed liberal on leaving the account logged in and letting other people use it. We stayed conservative on if you log out because you don't want your son… if you don't want anyone playing as you, your son can't get around it."
So if I leave myself logged in and a kid comes in and picks up the controller, the system won't boot him because it only sees a small skeleton, but if I set it the parental controls and log out it will look for both my voice and a figure of my size before it lets anyone else log in.
"I don't know the exact percentage, but it needs to see a percentage of your skeleton to map it to you to biometrically ID you. We actually do a really smart blending of facial characteristics and overall skeletal structure, and we combine those two into a profile," Henshaw said. "That profile is what we use to authenticate you. So you can't just take a glossy 8-1/2 by 11 and hold it up in front of the camera. We did think about that. We had college dorm room visions of people trying to hack that. So we were pretty smart about it."
Seeing all this in action is impressive, and it's pointed out to me that you don't have to yell; you just speak conversationally. He brings up the television feed, Skype, Internet Explorer, music, and the system switches between each application nearly instantly, and moves back to the main screen just as quickly. We jump back into the game, and then pause the game to take a Skype call. I use a few voice commands to capture a scene in Forza and we edit it into a little video.
I try to speak quietly to try to slip up the system, but it recognizes my commands. I ask him to go to a few different things in different order just to make sure this isn't canned.
Henshaw leans back, and reminds me that I had believed none of this was working when I walked in.
The science behind the magic
"So we just switched between 8, 9 apps. Forza is still hot. And this is really key," Henshaw said. "Because on any other platform, and you're going to be talking to all the big boys shipping new consoles this year. On any other platform, if you exit the game to go check the sports score in a game on TV, or to go browse the web for a hint on your console, you just lost your progress unless you saved. You just lost the state of your game. Not on Xbox One." This is their goal, to keep the game always ready to go, no matter what else you do, or what other apps you use. The game is always ready for you to return, even if you're using the Xbox One for other media.
How the hell does that happen?
"So around the E3 time frame, there was a lot of noise about how Xbox One incorporates like 3 operating systems," he told the Report. "And technically, that is true. We have a hypervisor at the very bottom of our stack that was written by Dave Cutler and I don't know if the name Dave Cutler means anything to you, he's the guy who wrote VMS and wrote the Windows NT kernel."
"So the dude… he's legendary in the industry. He knows his core operating system shit like no one else. Dave wrote our hypervisor. We have two LS virtual machines. One that handles the dedicated game, and one that handles the round-robinning of all the apps. Those are completely separated," Henshaw continued. "Your game always has a fixed view of the world of hardware resource, it's running any hypervised dedicated VM. And that was why there's always one that's hot at a time. The apps run in a much more Windows 8-like round robin VM. So you'll always have 2, 3,4, 5 of those hot, depending on what they do. Those are managed separately and they can be reset separately."
This is important, because you have don't have to worry about cleaning up after the system. Even your smart phone likely benefits from a hard reset every few days, but the Xbox One has been designed to always stay on, and to run the entirety of your home theater.
"Generally that whole VM reboots whenever you start a new game. It's cleaned by virtue of watching a new title," Henshaw said. "And the apps that we are flipping through so quickly and doing all this stuff, they have automatic clean up that happens in that VM and that whole VM can be restarted without ever affecting the game."
And this is what Microsoft has done such a poor job of communicating: They're spent a significant amount of time and money making sure that the Xbox One can run your home theater, but they also made sure to keep the gaming aspect of the hardware front and center. You can step away from the game at any time, and the system will keep the game frozen, ready to jump back into action when you're ready to play again.
The PlayStation 4 does this on a system level; you'll be able to put the system in standby mode and walk away, but the Xbox One allows you to do this for the game itself and continue using the console for anything else. It's a powerful feature that doesn't really sink in until you see it in person, and goes a long way to justify Microsoft's claims that this should be the middle of your entertainment experience.
I'll be testing all these issues in detail in my own home very soon, but this meeting at least proved that yes, this exists. It works. And it's pretty damned cool.

I am looking for a partner in crime. a Brain to my Pinky; A Batman to my Robyn; a R2D2 to my C3PO; a Dr. Horrible to my Penny... Someone who wants to go on Adventures- anything from kayaking in San Diego to visiting the La Brea Tar Pits to doing heart attacks at 2 in the morning.
A bit about me:
I am a bit of a nerd and a goofball with a streak of sarcasm that I occasionally repress.
I love my family, but from a distance.
I love the water/ocean, but not the beach. I am SCUBA certified even though it has been years since I have been diving. I love to kayak, sail, and go canoeing. I love to camp as well.
I have a BA in Anthropology (which is just a fancy way of saying I like to people watch and dig in the dirt). But, since I didn't get into grad school I am moving on to different dreams.
I want to open my own restaurant in a couple of years. Along those lines I quit my steady office job (where I was completely miserable) and took a part time minimum wage job at a bakery and start culinary school. I then left California, went to live on an island 60 miles from the closest movie theatre to work in a small cafe and live in a camper for 4 months. I am now in Georgia and working as an apprentice chef.
Here is to the pursuit of happiness.
I love to read and write and hope to be a published author sometime in the not to distant future... I actually have a finished manuscript that I need to edit about another hundred times before I will send my baby out into the world.

4.5/5 rDev +30.4%
This beer pours a light golden color. The head is one inch in height, and recedes slowly into very good lacing for the style. The aroma is of light caramel, toast, hints of toffee, and even hints of spicy hops. This is a very complex aroma not just for an adjunct lager, but for any beer. The taste impresses me even more. The malt is even more strong than it was in the aroma. The is more caramel, more toffee, and a nice spicy noble hop finish. The mouthfeel is a little fuller than light bodied with moderate carbonation which really allows the taste of the beer to come through. Overall, this is the best adjunct lager I have ever had. This might be a beer that has adjuncts in the grain bill, but it wasn't made with them it was crafted with them. I think that if it were mandatory for every macro drinker to try this beer there would be millions of new converts to craft beer.

4.38/5 rDev +27%
Poured golden in color thick clumpy laceing present on the glass. White Head is 2 fingers deep.The head slowly diminishes until there is a fine layer over the top. But it is back again with the swirl of the glass. Smells of bready dough, malty grains. Floral hop aroma, faint, but present
Tastes like sweet bread mild malty sweatness. Hops are there, but not the primary tastes.
This is a very clean, crisp lager. Mouthfeel is medium thickness with medium carbonation.
I recommend trying this beer, its pretty tasty and the clean dry finish is very nice. I think it would be a great beer for you budweiser fans. But this again is no pos water beer for the craft brew lover.
Alchahol info was not published, but I'd guess its right around 4.7-5.5 abv.
I got this at The Cellars in Roseville for $11
It also came with a quirky booklet and all sorts of funny shit you can try to do. An example would be this crazy whistle call, similar to the loon call, but useing your empty bottle and your fists..

4.18/5 rDev +21.2%
Clear golden yellow with a close-cropped white head that disappears without a trace over a couple minutes.
Doughy nose with whispers of grain, honey, and pears. Hops bring a light, dried florality. For the style, it's a concentrated and atractive aroma.
Through the mouth, its honey-sweetened grains first, puffing up fuller with a prevasive doughiness and a light dusting of ground corn. Clean and brisk through the middle, with a vague apple cider note. Hops are role players, but bring mown hay and leafy grasses.
Fuller than many American lagers, but still on the light side. Steady carbonation, non-fizzy, and taut in feel. It presents as an US / Helles Lager hybrid.
This plain and simple, and, plain and simple, it's a very nice quaffer.

12 oz. bottle into a pils glass
Pours a crystal clear golden color with a ton of rising carbonation that initially forms a one inch white head but it then rises another inch over the rim of the glass forming a cinder cone. Moderate lacing is left behind.
Aroma is grainy, mildly sweet, with very light grassy hops. Very weak overall but nothing to complain about.
Taste is light and simple overall - some sweet grainy malt, light grassy hops in the finish.
Mouthfeel is light bodied, very creamy texture though. Crisp and highly drinkable.
This one is really good, so much that I find it hard to believe there are any adjuncts in it. Very good session beer.

this "fisherman's lager" pours out a perfectly clear lightish golden colour, without much head..but some simple lace supported by a bit of carbonation hangs around. light adjunct corn aroma...somewhat bready and biscuity...smells nice for a lager. a hint of spicy hop peeks through also. the flavour is classic lager; some bready maltiness followed by some corny sweetness...never offending and always crisp and refreshing. a nice subdued hop bite to balance the residual sweetness...finishing on the dry side with a sweet back end kick. mouthfeel is supremely spritzy and crisp with the body being about perfect for a well constructed lager. drinkability rates high just for the fact that this tastes good for an adjunct lager.
all marketing gimmicks aside...this is a nice lager beer. a bit more substance than the deer beer brand and less overall sweetness than grain belt. and the pics of the lakemaids don't hurt either.

Clear bright sun yellow. Thin and airy white head. Snow white. Lace is sporadic and spotty in nature. Good aroma for a "macro." It's sweet, but it's got a nice little bready smell to it. Judging this as an "American Macro Lager," I'll give it high points. Much better than almost everything else that is out there. This is good. Nice maltiness. A little biscuity. Hops don't add much, but they don't need to here. This is an easy going smooth drinking lager. You won't mistake this for a Dortmunder, but for what it is, it's enjoyable. Put it in cans and I'd buy more of it in the summer.

Appearance: Yellow-gold, clear, good head and lacing.
Smell: Sweetness, grassy.
Taste: Sweet bready flavor with mild grassy hop finish.
Drinkability: Easy drinking pilsner, nice summer or tailgating beer.
Picked up a 6er since it was on closeout and cheap. Pretty good lager, has a nice set of flavors and goes down easy. If it was this cheap in the spring/summer I'd probably buy it as a lawnmower beer.

12 oz bottle.
Various hot mermaid-like chicks on each label... the one I'm currently drinking has a label featuring "Miss Largemouth Bass".. I was going to attempt some joke about how this beer should be available in "nice cans", but I've been informed that it would be impossible to make a joke like that funny.
Pours a clear straw-gold with a solid head of white froth..a good amount of lacing as well.
Aroma is grainy, with a slightly grassy hop note.
Bready sweet malt flavor, grassy hop bite, and lemon zest.. Really clean flavor, perfectly carbonated, and refreshing.
I have learned to expect not-so-great things after buying a beer strictly based on packaging, but this one really surprised me. As far as Macro Lagers go, this is pretty damn good.
Apparently a portion of the proceeds go to the International Game Fish Association, so you won't have to feel guilty if you drink a dozen of these while you're out on a fishing-boat somewhere.

Had all the characteristics of a simple lager, but no harsh finish at all. Clear gold in color, big airy white head that dies pretty fast. The body looks pretty alive, a fair amount of bubbles released within. Semi sweet malt taste, no hops that I could gather, and not too much abrasive carbonation. If in mood for a traditional lager it goes down really easily.

12 oz into a pint
A - Pours extremely clear, strongly carbonated beer. Bubbling is strong, but it only feeds a light film.
S - Mostly pilsner malts come through for me - a malty leading smell. Some grainy notes make their appearance.
T - Starts off with a light malt sweetness. Not very potent. Moves into the dry midstream, more bitter, but not balanced. Finishes with a hefty pilsner malt note. Leaves behind the pilsner graininess.
M - Moderate body - not empty, not thick. Carbonation bite solidifies the body, but doesn't drive it. Finishes mostly clean, with some pilsner sweetness.
D - Very easy drinking. ABV is beyond manageable. Not filling and the flavors are not overwhelming. Seems to fit with sitting back and having a beer.
I would see this as more of a pilsner, than a knockoff of our regular american adjunct crap. That said, this is a nice sessionable offering vs. going to swill-land.

Bright and clear highly yellow body with a moderate pacing of bubbles racing upwards. Small whitish capping of foam developes quickly to then reside to an always present thick film and collar. Thin horse shoe shaped lacing is complexly linked together across the glass.
Aroma is slim and clean with a light sweet starchyness of grains and bread dough.
Taste is pretty good with a steady flavor and crispness of sweetish bread dough added with a twist of dark bread crusts and light grassy elements pinching out a very tiny bite and bitterness.
The feel and body of this "macro" is where it truly stands out from all the others that overly trend and market the style. Quite fullish, smooth, clean, crisp, and finely textured with a bready grit and grain. Nice finish that lasts of lightly tendered toasty malt and tinted with a grassy hop bite.
Totally drinkable and down right solid for a sessionable summer-time lager. Not surprised that August Schell knows how to get a beer like this right.
Plus, the goofy marketing to the fisherman crowd and its funny label make for great conversation. However, not too sure why its so spendy, as its pricy tag compared to other "Macro" cheap shelfers may lure away most fisherman who would rather spend their extra cash on actual bait?

Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a Sam Adams Pint.
A: Pours a clear, medium yellow orange, with one finger of pale cream head. Average retention and lace, nice carbonation.
S: Hay and sweet malt, seems to have more malt aroma than typical for the style, I think that's a plus.
T: Light, creamy malt flavor. A bit of hops on the finish. Flavor is clean and without the typical flaws of cheap adjuncts. Starts out a bit timid, but actually improves with a little warmth.
M: Light mouthfeel, carbonation is midway between creamy and fizzy.
O: Best adjunct I've had in recent memory. As I'm drinking this, I've also got some brats cooking in a couple of these, I'm thinking that those should turn out well. Hats off to Schell for making something in a style that rarely makes it above a "meh."

Pours to a clear light golden yellow with a thick pure white head. Disappears quickly to a thin film on top of beer.
Can smell a hint of hops and a biscuity maltiness.
Has a mild hop bitterness up front with a mild lightly-toasted bread flavor coming through before a dry finish takes over. Nice balance.
Has a crisp refreshing fell in the mouth. Good Carbonation and refreshing!
A beer I could drink over and over again! Plus the each beer has a fish and size under each cap so you can make a fun drinking game out of it.

Reviewed cold from a bottle to a glass
A - orangish/yellow, carbonation present. 2 fingers of foam that disappeared rather quickly, lacing ring was present
S - Citrus, malts with hints of hops
T - Slight lemon flavor, very light tasting and very easy to drink
M/D - Pretty drinkable light bodied brew, another good summer time brew. A little crisp at first but finishes smooth. Another Schell's brew that I recommend!

Thanks KeefD for pointing this one out to me.
Calling northern Minnesota "home" for much of my life, I really appreciate when a brewery takes time to brew a beer for the outdoorsman. Schells nails it on the head with with one.
Great all day beer drinking beer. Nice bottle too. Has everything that a sportsman could want. Great taste, Lower ABV, Nice Bottle, and locally brewed so the price is right. Look no further. In my opinion, much better than any of the big name lager beers out there. Also helps that this one comes in a brown bottle with a real bottle cap.
Taste is spot on. Fresh tasting, not too filling, great smell and appearance. While at home in the boat, it would also be great for deer hunting camp.
Way to go Schells. Another solid preformer.

Got this bottle from RagingBull a while ago and finally opened it up. The labels are cool with various "lakemaids" on each label all are fairly attractive.
I pop the cap off and land a 20 lb northern pike, Im pretty sure that is a serious fish.
The beer is at cellar temp and poured into a snifter.
Pours a bright clear gold hue with lively fizzy bubbles giving me a bleached white head of .5 cm that fades to a clingy edge layer quickly.
Aroma is grainy malt a little corn sweetness and some faint earthy hops. Overally pretty much as expected.
First sip reveals a lite body with fine fizzy carb.
Flavor is what you would expect from this style. Some grainy malt notes a bit of sweetness and some earthy or maybe spicy mild hops on the finish. Very easy to drink and would be nice on the beach or in this case out on a boat I imagine. I think this is a good example for the style and would buy it when the situation calls for a similar beer, also a good one to give to macro buddies as a crossover.

UPDATE: Games will be at 3 pm PT and 7 pm PT on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Monday's if necessary game will be at 7 pm PT.
On Sunday, the NCAA announced that UCLA would be one of the 16 hosts for the Regionals on the weekend of June 1. It marks the third consecutive season that the Bruins will host a Regional, which is quite the accomplishment considering that before this run UCLA had never hosted Regionals in consecutive seasons.
The three teams that will join UCLA at Jackie Robinson Stadium next weekend
will be announced during Monday's Selection Show are San Diego, New Mexico and Creighton, but tickets for the weekend are already on sale for Wooden Club members, who should have received an email for the presale this evening. For everybody else, all-session tickets will go on sale on Monday at 10 am PT and single-session session tickets will go on sale on Friday.
Tickets can be purchased online via the UCLA Central Ticket Office. All-session reserved tickets are $80 for adults and $65 for youth and students. All-session general admission tickets are $55 for adults and $40 for youth and students.
The Regional will begin on Friday and continue with doubleheaders on each day through Sunday. There wil be a single game on Monday if necessary. Game times are scheduled to be at 3 pm PT and 7 pm PT each day with Monday's possible game at 7 pm.
Kudos to the athletic department and ticket office for having things ready to go with clear information, a presale and a well planned ticket plan. They have really improved things from the previous two years and have done an exceptional job.

Idea sounds great until you do the math.
The Internet is afire with a grand proposal. Instead of bailing out AIG to the tune of $85 billion, why not divide the money among all 200 million or so U.S. adults?
That gives $425,000 to every woman and man, the widely circulated e-mail says, or $297,500 after taxes. Wow.
This idea has gotten a lot of traction online, particularly as Congress is now considering a $700 billion bailout or rescue or whatever for America's financial institutions.
"Sounds like a plan," exclaimed Cathy at Cathy's Blog -- For Me For Once, one of many bloggers who've passed the $85 billion "We Deserve It Dividend" proposal on.
There's only one small problem with this plan.
"It only works out to $425 per person," an anonymous reader of Cathy's Blog wrote. "Whoever is circulating that idea is an idiot. Don't believe everything you read." And how.
Blogger plans to be a house with cash.
Too much credit and then a shortage thereof might be sinking the economy, but the personal attitude of blogger "NCN" is "Credit? Who needs it." He hasn't borrowed money in any form or fashion for four years -- and that includes using a credit card.
Remarkably, he's even saving up to buy a house with cash. Is this a radical approach that's impossible for most people, or an idea whose time has come? Either way, he explains how to do it.

When the recession began to really hit home, there was plenty of chatter about selling your plasma, undergoing paid medical tests, and even cutting off your lovely locks for a profit. Here are some of the more off-the-wall commodities we found, and they are making some people a bit more comfortable these days.
Mother's milk. As a mom who nursed three of her four children, I completely understand the benefits and time commitment of breastfeeding. When situations prevent a mom from being able to do this herself, there are some options to keeping the milk flowing, even if it's not her own. Thanks to the hard work and dedication of mothers nationwide, milk has been made available to those who need it via milk banks and other donation centers. The Human Milk Banking Association of America is a good place to start learning about the guidelines for donation, storage and transport.

This devil's advocate post will cover something that's bound to elicit a lot of discussion: Here are four reasons why you shouldn't donate money to charity.
That's right. You read that correctly. I have four reasons why donating your hard-earned money to a charity is a bad idea, and chances are there is at least one reason here that you haven't even considered. If there was ever a devil's advocate post to end all devil's advocate posts (don't worry, it's not the last one), this would probably be it.
High-income earners often display some particular traits.
This post comes from J.D. Roth at partner blog Get Rich Slowly.
In June, a user at Ask MetaFilter wondered: What are the differences between someone who makes $100,000/year and someone who makes $30,000? As you might expect, this question generated a lot of discussion -- all of it interesting.
Many commenters noted that, from their experience, high-income earners generally exhibit several of the following traits:
Before you order, think about what the menu is trying to pitch.
Did you know that when you open a four-page menu, your eyes are naturally drawn to the center of the right-hand page? In menu circles, that's known as the "power position."
That's where you'll find the entrées the restaurant really, really wants you to buy -- signature dishes that keep you coming back and those with the biggest profit margins, said Thursday Bram in a post at our partner blog Wise Bread.
- Bing: Find restaurant coupons
Menus are, after all, "the only piece of printed advertising that you are virtually 100% sure will be read by the guest," wrote David Pavesic in an article reprinted by the Restaurant Resource Group. Beth Panitz, in an old post at Restaurant.org, added, "If you think customers decide on their own what to order, think again." (Thanks to Liz Kay of the Baltimore Sun's Consuming Interests blog for those links).
Several bloggers, including Dan Mitchell of The Big Money's Daily Bread blog and Liz, have written recently about the menu tricks restaurants use, and we'll assemble some here to give you an edge next time you go out to eat.
Don't be misled by clever marketers.
Sara at On Simplicity simply states what she calls the "cold, hard truth": "Advertising sucks. ... It's engineered to make you feel like you're incomplete, that you have an unfulfilled need, that you're not good enough."
Eluding ubiquitous advertising is one of the "18 means for living below your means" at Marc and Angel Hack Life, a blog that features compilations of valuable tips to deal with life's vexing problems.

Once again, Marc and Angel do not disappoint.
Clearance meat can help stretch the food budget.
I had a $1 steak for lunch, but it was no one-buck chuck. It was certified Angus beef sirloin, with no hormones or antibiotics, and "minimally processed," according to the label. In addition, this steer apparently ate only vegetarians: The label also said "100 percent vegetarian diet."
How'd it get to be a dollar? First it went on sale, then it got old.
Meat department managers keep a constant vigil against meat that's close to its sell-by date. They need to sell that flesh pronto, so they discount it deeply.
That's how people like me end up with steaks whose original per-pound cost was one and a half times the federal minimum wage. That same shopping trip netted me a two-pack of sirloins that initially cost $8.99 a pound; I paid $4.07 total. Another pair of steaks cost just $1.24 and $1.52.

From Big Stone Lake to the St. Croix River from west to east, and from Lake of the Woods to the Fairmont Chain from north to south, there are thousands of lakes, rivers and reservoirs for Minnesota anglers to wet a line. The following options are but a few of the many choices where abundant populations of fish await those who relish the feeling when a fish takes the bait, bends the rod, and ultimately ends up caught. Here's a look at our top spots for Minnesota fishing in 2012.
Lake Irving Walleyes
Ice-fishing is in full swing and anglers are pounding holes not only in the ice with their augers, but they're also pounding holes in the bottom with their lures as they search for that elusive walleye. It's best to pick a lake that has a high population of these fish, and with a surface area that is manageable. Lake Irving fits the criteria well.
Lake Irving's inlet is the Mississippi River and the outlet dumps into Lake Bemidji, another well-known walleye factory. The beauty of Irving is that its small size (600 acres) allows it to freeze fast, which is a boon to early-ice anglers.
With a maximum depth of 20 feet, anglers will want to focus on the deeper water around one of the four humps. Expect some company in the narrow trough between the hump on the north side straight out from the boat landing and the hump in the center of the lake. That is a proven winter walleye haven.
The successful early-ice angler on Irving will be the one with an aggressive style. It pays to drill a lot of holes and work them fast and furiously with a lure that creates a reaction bite, one like the Chubby Darter or the Lindy Darter. Those lures do not require live bait and are perfect for that hit-and-run approach.
If the walleyes seem to prefer a finesse approach, take a large Genz Worm and thread about 8 to 10 maggots on the hook and twitch it right in front of their noses. That's a trick perfected by the "Godfather of Ice-fishing," Dave Genz, and works wonders on finicky walleyes.
Island Lake Panfish
Panfish become a coveted target as the season progresses; the goal is to find a lake where big ones reside. Island Lake is a great option for catching big bluegills.
With a well-developed deep weed edge, the lake's anglers should focus on the rim of that foliage. That's where the bigger bluegills sit and wait for an easy meal.
Island Lake is also a good candidate for the underwater camera. Clear water means you can watch the big sunfish swim up to the lure and then either take it or ignore it. If they ignore the lure, it is time to try something different.
Many anglers consider those tiny ice lures when chasing panfish, but the big bluegills in Island Lake don't seem at all shy about hitting a half-dozen maggots threaded onto a treble hook on a 1/4-ounce jigging spoon.
The goal of the angler on Pine Lake is to find the hefty two-to-a-pound bluegills — and they are there to be found. If the fish you are catching are small, then keep up the search until you strike bigger fish.
Maud Lake Crappies
In March crappies start migrating to the deep-water haunts near the mouths of bays where they will spawn when the right time comes. In Maud Lake the deep holes where they've been all winter are those spots, so the crappies stay put and are easy to pattern on this lake when many other bodies of water are in that tough transitional period.
The holes are on the south end of the 550-acre basin, but don't rule out the inside turns on the weaving bottom contour. These cuts in the breakline are productive because fishing pressure in these locations is marginal compared to the holes.
There is no secret to catching Maud Lake crappies. Just send down a tiny teardrop jig with a minnow attached. If the crappies don't seem to want that offering, it might not be because it's not the right bait; it might just not be the right time. As is typical of crappie fishing on the ice, the low-light periods are always the most productive, and on Maud, even the dark of night tends to be the best time to target them. Keep the lure suspended above their heads and make the fish come to the bait.
Mississippi River Walleyes
In April the urge to spawn is driving walleyes upstream to the dam and into the tributaries along the stretch of Pool Four that runs through Red Wing. Anglers who have been walking on hard water for the past few months take to this part of the river in droves in their boats to get in a little open-water walleye fishing before the season opens on inland lakes. Those who are familiar with fishing current are highly rewarded.
The first inclination is to head right to the dam where walleyes get stopped in their migration and concentrate in numbers where they're easily targeted with a properly placed jig and minnow. This is a good idea if you don't mind the crowds.
Keep in mind that walleyes don't all head upstream at the same time and they don't all end up at the dam. There will be concentrations of fish at river mouths, on rubble shorelines below current breaks, and in channel dips.
Take lots of jigs. This stretch of the Mississippi is notorious for eating the lead-surrounded hooks, and so you'll go through plenty of them. Also toss a bag of sand and salt into the back of your tow vehicle. That's in case the boat landing gets iced up should temperatures drop.

Old Dominion University ranked 53rd in the country in conferring master's degrees on African-American students, according to this month's issue of the magazine "Black Issues in Higher Education."
According to an article titled "Top 100," Old Dominion granted master's degrees to 139 African Americans in all disciplines combined during 2001-02, more than such notable institutions as the University of Maryland, Michigan State and Norfolk State. Data was culled from analyses of U.S. Department of Education preliminary reports from that period.
ODU also ranked seventh in conferring master's degrees in health sciences and related professions to American Indian students, ahead of Northern Arizona, the University of Michigan and Washington State.
Old Dominion's ranking in other categories included:
14th, African American doctorates, social sciences and history;
22nd, African American master's, English language and letters;
26th, African American master's, engineering;
26th, African American master's, education;
31st, African American master's, social sciences and history;
45th, Hispanic master's, engineering;
51st, all categories combined, American Indian master's.

Cheh: 'Hiring Issues Must Be Dealt With'
Dorothy Rowley | 4/7/2011, 1:08 a.m.
Ward 3 Council member Mary Cheh said that while the outcome of hearings she's convened on the high salaries, nepotism and cronyism that have plagued Mayor Vincent Gray's administration, bottom line is that they are issues that must be dealt with. No matter how boring or minuscule they might appear to observers -- including Ward 8 Council member Marion Barry --- who says the meetings are ridiculous.
Cheh, 60, initially called for a March 28 hearing to determine if any wrong-doing had occurred with the Gray administration's hiring practices. But the daylong testimonies produced little substantive evidence, she told the Washington Informer.
This week's hearing on April 7 was slated to include testimony from Gray's former chief of staff Gerri Mason Hall, his campaign manager Lorraine Green, and Sulaimon Brown -- the disgruntled former Health Department employee who touched off a firestorm of concerns after he went to the press in the wake of his abrupt firing in February.
Since then, Brown's allegations that he bowed out of last fall's mayoral race to throw support to Gray in exchange for the job he lost two weeks later, has cast a black eye on the Gray administration. The mayor has denied the allegations and retained go-to-attorney Robert Bennett.
Cheh said that last week's hearing revealed Brown "as sort of a pest - one who was struck by his own importance in the campaign."
Otherwise, she said Barry's perspective is one to be kept in mind.
"We have 30,000 employees [in local government] and the mayor has only about 100 who head agencies," Cheh said.
"The mayor hires and fires at will and it's not unusual for him to fill posts with people he's worked with and has confidence in."
But Cheh said there are limits in terms of salary, and that some people in Gray's administration were hired with pay checks that were above the cap.
However, "that was explained by saying that all along they were going to come to the Council and offer a resolution to allow that," Cheh said. She added that a case that plainly reeked of nepotism was that of Hall's son, who was quickly terminated.
"Because Gerri Hall was chief of staff for the mayor, she sat at the pinnacle and any job she gets for one of her family members would arguably be within the nepotism limit," Cheh said.
"But the nepotism law calls for a remedy-that you fire that person -and he's gone."
Cheh also noted a problem with people being properly vetted. She said the law allows for minimal qualifications. "But we didn't find anyone who fell below that threshold," Cheh said.
She added that "cronyism means you're hiring someone unrelated to you, whether they can do the job [or not] or you're only hiring them because they are a pal."
She said former Mayor Adrian Fenty used to send over his "running buddies" for various posts. But they weren't automatically considered because they lacked job qualifications, Cheh said.
"Even though you can hire and fire at will in executive service, there are questions about who set their salaries," Cheh said. "And with respect to Brown, the question would have been who sent him over there and why."

News: Black Rob Blasts Diddy's Bad Boy Roster, "Ain't None Of Them Selling More Records Than Me"
Friday, Jun 4, 2010 4:55PM
Former Bad Boy artist Black Rob has revealed his opinion of Diddy's artist roster and turned down a possible opportunity to return to the label.
According to Rob, he does not want to wait behind Puff's artists who, in his eyes, are not pushing out units.
"It was something spoke about it like that with the Vice President of Bad Boy, [Harve Pierre], myself and Puffy on the phone," Rob said about Diddy wanting him back. "But, Puffy's doing what he's doing right now with all these other artists. So, I'm not gonna try to take a backseat to none of these artists that ain't selling no records. Ain't none of them selling more records than me. None of 'em sold more records than me, so I'm not gon' take a backseat to none of them dudes. None of them n*ggas is better than me. I don't care how many records you make my man... I'm out of the contract. I'm done with Bad Boy. I got the official decision letter two days ago. So I'm officially done with Bad Boy. As of now, I'm officially a free agent. I can go anywhere I wanna go." (Hip Hop DX)
Last month, Rob updated fans on his relationship with Puff since recently being released from jail.
"Nah," Rob said when asked if he still had a relationship with Bad Boy. "If you tell me you love me, you tell me you my man, then I'ma take that, I'ma run with that. You feel me? So when something happens to me and you turn your back on me regardless of the situation, regardless of what we're going through. I don't appreciate that, I don't respect that. Because if you're my man, I'm always gonna be your man unless you flip on me. I was under the assumption I was family. If you follow Black Rob's career, you know I been through a whole bunch. When the album's getting ready to come out, I'm either in jail or somewhere I'm not supposed to be. I'm not blaming Bad Boy, let me set the record straight, I'm not blaming P. Diddy -- I did that, that was me. I have no hatred..." (BET)
Last year, Rob debunked rumors of being dropped from Diddy's label.
"I haven't heard from these dudes, they might've took me off the Bad Boy website or whatever but I haven't heard from anyone telling me what the deal is. So until I get a piece of paper saying that I'm no longer a Bad Boy artist, I'm still reppin' that flag. I'm a team player man." (XXL Mag)
He previously served time behind bars after being arrested in 2004 for theft.
The rapper, whose real name is Robert Ross, was arrested at 11:45 a.m. at the On the Ave Hotel for entering and remaining in a hotel room, and removing jewelry from the room without authority, according to a police spokesperson. Ross's accomplice, Damien Ashmeade, was arrested at 3:50 p.m. (MTV)
Diddy's current Bad Boy roster consists of himself, Cassie and Red Cafe.
Check out Diddy briefly speak on Black Rob below:

Singer Marc Anthony appears to have gone public with his relationship with 24-year-old Venezuelan model Shannon De Lima.
"A mi @Shadelima mi estatua de libertad. Besos bebe," Anthony Tweeted on Tuesday.
In English, the sentence means: "To Shannon, my statue of liberty. Kisses baby!"
On Wednesday, Anthony also posted a Facebook photo of him and De Lima kissing, with the caption: "Gracias!" More than 9,000 people "liked" the post.
Friends took to Twitter to congratulate the couple, who have kept their relationship quiet up until now.
The 43-year-old singer split from his wife of seven years, Jennifer Lopez. The couple announced in July that they were breaking up, but they did not specify a reason for the split. The two married in June 2004 and their twin son and daughter, Max and Emme, were born in February 2008.
Meanwhile, Lopez, 42, has also moved on with a younger man, 24-year-old backup dancer Casper Smart. Lopez and her new beau celebrated the Thanksgiving holidays together on the beach in Hawaii, with the singer's twins.
Before Lopez, Anthony was married to actress Dayanara Torres between 2000 and 2004. They have two sons - Cristian, who was born in 2001, and Ryan, born in 2003. Anthony also has a daughter named Ariana, who was born in 1994, with ex-girlfriend Debbie Rosado.
In August, Anthony got candid about his split with Jennifer Lopez during an interview with ABC's "Nightline" and said, "I'll always love Jennifer."
When asked about the split, Anthony says, "It is sad because you think about the impact of all those people who believed in you, you think about your family, you think about the possibilities."
Lopez has been married twice before but has no other children other than her and Anthony's twins. She and Ojani Noa were married between 1997 and 1998. Lopez wed actor and dance choreographer Cris Judd in 2001. They divorced in 2003.

I have an E63 which I've been using for a few months now and quite like. I have been wondering if an E72 may be a worthy upgrade or if there would be little point.
Predominately I'm thinking that since I've been making good use use of the E63 maps (bought a BT GPS) but they need registration yearly (only a few bucks) that navigatoin on the E72 would be nicer (and I won't need to remember the GPS, but won't hurt if I have it.
I have heard that the E72 does not support sattelite information as my E51 did and the E63 does.
I'm thinking that the higher data speeds and CPU on the E72 may also make skype via 3G nicer too. Does anyone here know?
Naturally I've compared the specs on gsm arena and looked at a few reivews. So just wondering if anyone here has any opinions they'd be willing to share.
Sadly after reading around it starts to look to me that the E63 is about the best cost/benefit phone and that the E72 has some significant bugs in it.
thoughts welcome
Solved! Go to Solution.

I don't own an E72, but an E73, which is very similar except for some differences in the case design and the built-in software. Given the similarities, I've closely followed E72 firmware bugs and updates. There were apparently a number of complaints when the E72 was first released, I think mostly due to stability and memory use issues...but I've seen few complaints from the latest 081.003 firmware. FP2 phones require a lot more ram than FP1 phones, though, leaving the E72 with only around 40 MB free once booted. (Your E63 may have around twice as much.) This is nowhere near enough for the browser on large web pages and when running several large apps simultaneously, and it's apparently a design issue that can't be fixed. This hasn't been a huge problem for me: it's a phone, and I don't expect it to do everything that a full computer can.
You've seen the upsides in the specs: free maps with voice navigation, accelerometer, magnetometer, secondary camera, 16 GB memory cards, etc. Also the newest browser is 7.3.x and (in spite of the memory limitations) is likely more compatible with newer web sites. Nokia Email also does a better job with HTML email and has a better implementation of Mail for Exchange.
The E63 doesn't support 3G? I thought it did. For any kind of voice, data, or video streaming, more speed is always better. The E72 uses both traditional satellite-based GPS and AGPS, and should be at least as good as the E63. GPS can sometimes take a long time to get a satellite signal. Not sure why.
Some people buy a new phone or a new graphics card every year...or lease their car and get a new car every 2 years? I am not one of those people. I expect to use this E73 for a long time, but did recently start thinking about an N8 or a 701. The E72 is a very capable phone, but unless you feel really constrained by something on the E63, you may want to save your money for now. Hope that helps a little.

thanks for your reply. I didn't question E63 using 3G, but that the data rate on 3G was slower (does not support HDSPA . The E72 is HSDPA, 10.2 Mbps; HSUPA 2 Mbps while the E63 is only 384kbps.
I can probably live without the sattelite information (how many sattelites you have available) on the GPS
Would you mind expanding on the FP1 and FP2 points please? I'm wondering if this means firmware revision and if I can just leave the phone (or reset back to) on the initial firmware?
thanks for your inputs

The FP2 Nokia GPS can see 32 satellites. (Hmm, that's 5 more than are apparently in the sky. Perhaps this helps future-proof the phone?) In Control Panel, there is a separate GPS Data app, which among other things includes the Satellite Status screen.
Keep in mind that I don't own an E72 owner, but from comments here, the latest firmware seems the most bug-free. Some previous revisions were embarrassingly buggy. I wouldn't recommend an older version, and downgrading generally can't be done.
My FP1 vs. FP2 comments were mostly about RAM use. There are lots of other FP2 changes, too: use of the center navi button as a 3rd menu (in addition to the 2 soft keys), screen navigation animation (can be disabled), rewritten drivers (apparently FP1 phones tethered to a computer can't simultaneously share the data connection with the phone), and lots of other little things. Look for a review. But the RAM use doesn't change much with firmware upgrades. The original E72, the latest 081.003 firmware, and everything in-between all leave you with about 40 MB free. The E5 breaks this mold with 256 MB of RAM, but then Nokia went cheap on everything else: cheaper screen, cheaper camera, no 2nd camera or accelerometer or magnetometer, etc. I won't get into the newer touch-based phones. FP2 phones from other lines (like the C5-00) may be better or worse, but excluding the E5, you should probably expect around 40 MB free on any FP2 phone. Was that better?

Just a very small point:
E63 supports 16GB cards just fine (not sure if this is mentioned in specs or not, but it's definitely working).

Hi, my phone history looks like this: [don't remember] --> Nokia E60 --> Samsung i7110 (also Symbian S60) --> Nokia E72 --> Samsung Wave S8500 (oops, Bada!) --> Nokia E63 (back to Symbian... quite happy!).
I like E63 much more than E72:
The two things I dislike at E63 are:
- but I'm certainly ready to live with that
I think that E63 has better value for money.
That's my personal opinion, of course. Anyway it's a forum - all opinions are personal
28-12-2011 20:02
If you considering E72, buy second hand cause of the price for new ones is even higher as for the E6, in Sweden anyhow.
E6 can be bought for euro 200 here now and is more powerful and faster (good graphic processor) and will have better updates in the years to come...
I see auto focus for close up pictures as the only main reason for buying E72.
And perhaps applications from certain suppliers that for moment isnt supported by Symbian 3, for example symplayer from telexy.com.
28-12-2011 20:40
As the owner of two E72s I'd go along with that. I think the camera bit is a darned shame, because I also make good use of the E72's business card / text scanner and wouldn't use the camera for decent shots anyhow. Perhaps somebody already made a card scanner app for Symbian ^3/Anna to provide the function via an ordinary digital camera (perhaps even one connected by Bluetooth (if not - please make it, somebody!))
After 18 months with E72s I feel I'm getting left behind really fast software-wise, and that's not going to get better.
I don't have an E6 but it doesn't seem to be making much of a stir on the these pages. No news really can be good news.
When you've tried a faster processor you won't want to go back and the one in the E63 and E61i (which I also still use) are slooow by comparison - right from startup.
The E72 screen is smaller than the E63 (2.4"?). At 2.46", the E6 screen is a bit bigger _and_ hi-res at 640 x 480. Although the E72 keypad isn't bad, it, too, is narrower that E63 and E6. I like the E72's Optipad thing and have learned when NOT to use it. It's excellent for scrolling through e.g. the BBC website in the Nokia browser.
A second hand E72 might be an option but make sure it doesn't have issues.
There is the issue of some earlier Symbian apps not working with Anna, but my favourite, the ViewRanger mapping app is said to work. I never had problems with my E72s' GPS - those who do have likely got a faulty phone or live among skyscrapers. I get the same results with the built-in and an external Holux USB GPS.
Sorry this is a mess...

As video cam E6 is far better than E72 and even for photo shooting, at least I think so.
Faster bluetooth transfers, hot-swopable memory card also and the excellent qwerty on E6.
The screen is far more crispy and vibrant on E6, but when surfing I use Opera, (not opera mini) as you can adjust pages to bigger fonts as you like. Sometimes is Nokia browser better though.
The learning curve is higher for E6 when you adjust the screen resolution with opera, built in adjustments and font magnifier, but when you are familiar with these settings you sure not want to use E72 anymore...This is the main disadvantage with the high resolution but the main reason for me is, removable battery, excellente talking quality (noise cancelling mic) and the best possible receptions to the 3G whe on the move in car, by foot in the city.
The bluetoth is great on E6 and I also think the audio quality is high standard.
The Nokia E6 is a bargain at prices around Euro 225... www.elgiganten.se
PS Soon also E6 as all Symbian 3 Anna, Belle, will have the Microsoft Mobile Office for free, for example OneNote DS

ok, well 3 days ago I took delivery of an E72 (type 1) which I thought would solve this question.
Here are som initial thoughts in no particular order:
did any of the reviewers ever have their hands on both devices (as they claim to have done)? If yes then they are often not very observant.
the predictive text on the E72 can not hold a candle to that of the E63. The E63 outshines it so much as to be truly a shame on the developers of the E72. The omission of capitalisation of i on the E72 let alone inclusion of ' in didn't is pathetic. Step backwards on that one
Data rates on 3G are stunning on the E72, as expected by specification.
Skype runs well on the 3G network, but I am as yet unable to find a version of skype which allows the front facing camera to be used. Thus the front facing camera is a bit of a "hip pocket on at T-Shirt"
Screen on E72 has much nicer colour range, and seems to be slightly better outside in the light of the sun
Optical navi key is pretty much what you read (and no I didn't like it much but thought it had potential). I thought this quote summed it up neatly
"I felt as if a swipe of the Optical Navi Key should trigger kinetic scrolling, a capability not built into the E72's operating system. The wish for kinetics makes sense when you consider that the Optical Navi Key is not effective for scrolling, unlike a continual press on the d-pad."
Keyboard is actually a weeny bit smaller than the E63, it is noticable when you've spent time on the E63
Unable to zoom in and look around the better images from the camera on the E72. Strange as the gallery on the E63 did this nicely with keyboard shortcuts too.
Maps do not navigate any better than those on the E63, and it seems (anyone have a fix?) the accellerometer does nothing in maps. Meaning that maps on the E63 with a Bluetooth GPS are just as effective. Time taken to get a sattelite lock is often longer than the drive there (read 45 minutes) while my E63 using the BT GPS just gets the lock in 5 or 10 min. Yawn
Perhaps version 3 maps is nicer for searching.
Message creation has less options when creating "new message" perhaps this is to help dummies, but I actually learned from the E63's menu that I could create and send an audio message with less difficulty than an MMS with an attached audio.
I do not know why in New Message on the E72 I do not get Create: MMS, only Message and Audio Message. This prevents me from attaching a subject to the MMS and thus using it more like an email to a phone via phone system. Poor oversight if you ask me
The E63 seems to automatically engage the recorder and save the audio file in the right 'codec' when activated from MMS
The mail app is nice enough and I do like the "look" of that mail client better than that of my E63's .. reminds me a lot of the E51 I had. Personally I use my mail as IMAP and do not really "keep" it on the phone for long. I then deal with it more long term on Thunderbird or on the corporate mail. Thus the clearing of the inbox (on the phone once mail is read on the main client) is to me a good thing.
configuration of browser keys is nice on the E72
hands free speaker is whimpy, even on flat surface or upside down. E63 wins hands down there.
Do not like the inversion of the physical feel of the one-touch keys. Prefer the top and bottom rows to be pronated and the one touch keys down.
WHY CAN'T THEY PUT RED AND GREEN COLOUR ON THE CALL AND HANG UP ... I will be using a texta on this from the underside asap
Just like the E51 I love the "breathing" light.
Don't care much for the side buttons for volume. If you happen to be left handed they don't work well. D ring works which is good.
Love that I can move icons around in their groups, that can't be done on my E63. It helps me to arrange things into an order that the apps which are not on my home screen can be found fast
Love the E72's scanner, works fine for most business cards. If you know diddley squat about how OCR works it is just a great system. If you don't know anything and its all "white mans magic" then you'll be frustrated and probably have problems.
Discovered that camera AF can be achieved without the optical navi by pressing and holding the main button till AF is acquired, then releasing the button to take the picture. handy.
Torch on the E72 is a legend .. much wider in spread and brighter.
24-01-2012 10:58
I must say that I'm also one of the disappointed that Nokia have munged up the IMAP on the E72. Unless you sign up with Nokia (giving them your user name and password [like surrree]) your phone will drop your connection (to your IMAP account) 300 seconds after obtaining it. Even though it may not drop your internet connection.
I'd just love to hear from the developers on *that one*

I gave up trying to 'synchronise' my ordinary IMAP account (let's call it 'X') with my E72s, mainly because the phone uses more juice that way because it has to check at such regular intervals to be of any use.
There's nowt wrong with OVI mail, though. You're not giving Nokia anything, because OVI mail runs on Yahoo! It gets me my mail moments after it's been sent. And now I have my 'X' account send all my mail to OVI mail and set it to require manual send and receive. So I get my mails without using as much battery, and can always reply to mail from my 'X' account if I need to. I use another accpount altogether for mail from expected senders - e.g. daily newsletters - and only ever check that one manually when away from home.
Only thing I don't like about OVI mail concerns the web interface. Although it's fairlly well thought out, it decides which language you use, and although its security check is re-assuring, it _always_ seems to want me to decifer the wobbly letters when I'm in a rush...
Never miss a message - well, never say never but...

"I do not know why in New Message on the E72 I do not get Create: MMS, only Message and Audio Message. This prevents me from attaching a subject to the MMS and thus using it more like an email to a phone via phone system. Poor oversight if you ask me"
Not quite. Open a new message, choose "Options", then "message header fields", and click on "subject".
This creates a "subject" field in the message, if when filled, will automatically turns the message into a MMS message. If leftt empty, the message remains a SMS message.
This also allow you to choose if you want the "Cc" and "Bcc" fields in your messages.

The main problem the E72 will have relative to the E63 is the lack of RAM.
Contrary to what some may believe, this is a major problem that undermines the phone quite seriously. Not only is the RAM insufficient, but it seems the phone suffers from serious memory leakage as evidenced by a lack of increase in RAM even when ALL apps are turned off.
This problem makes the native browser unusable and also the Nokia Maps. And this is only with ONE other program running. The only viable workaround is to turn the phone off, then on again. Not good enough.

interesting, as my experience is that on 3G it does not make any noticable difference to my E63. I have used EnergyPro to monitor battery use and indeed can see nothing to indicate any such drains. I have also performed the same tests on the E72 (for the duration of 5min that it stays on IMAP) and also see no difference.
I have been actually thinking of putting this evidence up on a blog post.
Having your phone connected to WiFi does impact the battery life (and is visible in the power consumption graphs).
The connection manager also keeps my connection open (unlike Android) and means that I get to keep my phone on 3G running Skype and IMAP for the entire day at work without effecting my battery life.

but the E63 and the E72 have the same amount of ram ... or so I thought (ram, not storage memory).
I agree that this is a more notable restrictoin on the E72 because the browser is so good that you want to use it more.
E72 seems to be better at style sheets too

Why Did Leonardo da Vinci Paint "The Last Supper"?
Because his employer requested he do so. Leonardo da Vinci worked for Ludovico Sforza, Duke of Milan, for nearly 18 years (1482-99). The Duke decided he wanted this particular religious scene of Jesus and the Apostles at the Last Supper painted and Leonardo, who was not stupid, decided painting it made perfect financial sense.
How Big Is It?
It's huge, really -- 460 x 880 cm (15 x 29 feet). It covers an entire large wall, very unlike reproductions sized to hang neatly behind one's sofa.
Where Is It?
The original mural is on a wall of the refectory (dining hall) in the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, Italy.
If you'd care to see a reproduction, they're easily found. As an image, "The Last Supper" is the most reproduced religious painting of all time and has been put on everything from mirrors, to mouse pads, to musical pillows. If Leonardo were still around, he'd be earning billions of (insert your currency here) on licensing fees alone.
How Long Did It Take Leonardo To Paint This?
He began working on it in 1495, and finished "The Last Supper" in 1498. This is worth noting, as Leonardo was a known procrastinator with a marked tendency to leave projects unfinished.
Why Is the Composition Remarkable?
First, it is remarkable because the disciples are all displaying very human, identifiable emotions. "The Last Supper" had certainly been painted before. Leonardo's version, though, was the first to depict real people acting like real people.
Secondly, and of major importance -- the technical perspective in "The Last Supper" is incredible. You can see that every single element of the painting directs one's attention straight to the midpoint of the composition, Christ's head. It's arguably the greatest example of one point perspective ever created.
What Does Last Supper Depict?
"The Last Supper" is Leonardo's visual interpretation of an event chronicled in all four of the Gospels (books in the Christian New Testament). The evening before Christ was betrayed by one of his disciples, he gathered them together to eat, tell them he knew what was coming and wash their feet (a gesture symbolizing that all were equal under the eyes of the Lord). As they ate and drank together, Christ gave the disciples explicit instructions on how to eat and drink in the future, in remembrance of him. It was the first celebration of the Eucharist, a ritual still performed.
Specifically, "The Last Supper" depicts the next few seconds in this story after Christ dropped the bombshell that one disciple would betray him before sunrise, and all 12 reacted to the news with different degrees of horror, anger and shock.
Who's In It?
Looking across the picture from left to right:
- Bartholomew, James Minor and Andrew form a group of three. All are aghast, Andrew to the point of holding his hands up in a "stop!" gesture.
- Judas, Peter and John form the next group of three. Judas, you will note, has his face in shadow and is clutching a small bag (of silver?). Peter is visibly angry and a feminine-looking John seems about to swoon.
- Christ is the calm in the midst of the storm.
- Thomas, James Major and Philip are next. Thomas is clearly agitated, James Major stunned and Philip seems to be seeking clarification.
- Matthew, Thaddeus and Simon comprise the last group of three figures. It appears that, when a situation turns ugly, Simon is the "go to" guy for explanations.
Why Is It Falling Apart?
Leonardo, always the inventor, tried using new materials for "The Last Supper." Instead of using tempera on wet plaster (the preferred method of fresco painting, and one which had worked successfully for centuries), he thought he'd give using dry plaster a whirl. His experiment resulted in a more varied palette, which was his intent. What he hadn't taken into account (because, who knew?) was that this method wasn't at all durable. The painted plaster began to flake off the wall almost immediately, and people have been attempting to restore it ever since.
Why Doesn't Jesus Have Feet?
Rest assured, Leonardo intended for Christ to have feet and, in fact, painted them. Around 1650, some unnamed, woefully misguided soul -- on a mission to insert another door into the refectory -- apparently decided that the only logical spot for said door was smack dab in the middle of that wall. We probably shouldn't grumble and just consider ourselves lucky that he wasn't engineering windows.
I Heard This Story About "The Last Supper." Is It True?
Do you mean the story in which Leonardo first paints Jesus Christ, after searching many months for the perfect model? And then, years and years later, after painting all 11 other disciples, has an even more grueling search for the perfect model for Judas? And -- amazingly -- the same person ends up being the model for both? That story?
No, it's not true, and for so many reasons (all of which are detailed in a piece at Snopes). It's a neat bit of fiction, though, complete with a moral.
