Benard was waived by the Browns after dislocating his elow Friday night.||||||| Benard could return to the club if he's not claimed by another team. Last October, not long after leaving practice, Benard crashed his three-wheel motorcycle into a guardrail and was thrown an estimated 80 yards. Benard sustained a broken hand and other serious injuries that required a three-day hospital stay.
Benard has pleaded not guilty to two traffic charges stemming from his motorcycle accident last week. Benard did not appear in Parma Municipal Court on Tuesday. His attorney faxed in the pleas.||||||| Benard, who is done for the season after breaking his hand and sustaining other unspecified injuries, was charged with reckless operation and driving with a suspended license. No new court date has been scheduled. Benard spent three nights in the Cleveland Clinic following the crash. Police estimated Benard was thrown 241 feet after smashing his Can-Am Spyder into a guardrail on Interestate-71.
A person familiar with the decision says the Cleveland Browns will pay injured linebacker Marcus Benard the remainder of his salary for 2011 following his motorcycle accident.||||||| The team was not obligated to continue paying Benard because he sustained a nonfootball-related injury. However, the Browns will pay Benard roughly $370,000 he's still due this season. Benard broke his hand and suffered other undisclosed injuries when he crashed his three-wheel motorcycle into a guardrail on Monday after practice.
Benard has been lost for the season with a broken hand sustained when he crashed his three-wheel motorcycle.||||||| The Browns placed Benard, their leader in sacks last season, on the reserve non-football injury list Wednesday, ending his season after just four games. Benard remains hospitalized in the Cleveland Clinic two days after his accident, which happened shortly after the Browns completed their first workout following a bye week. Brooklyn Police estimated Benard was thrown nearly 80 yards after smashing his Can-Am Spyder motorcycle into a guardrail.
Benard is facing two charges after crashing his motorcycle following practice. Brooklyn Police Sgt. Scott Mielke said Benard has been charged with driving under suspension and reckless operation. He is due in court Oct. 18 in Parma.||||||| Benard broke his hand Monday when he slammed his three-wheel motorcycle into a guardrail on Interstate 71. He remains hospitalized at the Cleveland Clinic. Mielke said Benard lost control, smashed into the guardrail and "flew" over it. Mielke said no other vehicles were involved and police were trying to determine how fast Benard was driving. Benard led the Browns in sacks last season and has played in all four of Cleveland's games this season.

Christmas is officially less than 100 days away. Can you believe it?
Unfortunately the "most wonderful time of the year" can sometimes turn into the most "stressful", "crazy", and "hectic" time of the year for many. My hope is that this year we can work together to hold each other accountable to spending just a little time each week to help make the holiday season more enjoyable. By taking these steps now, once the month of December rolls around we should all be able to relax and enjoy the time with family and friends.
So that is my challenge to you...join me on this "Countdown to Christmas" journey and let's have some fun in the proces! Instead of waiting until the last minute to blow through a mile long to-do list, lets start now and do it together little-by-little.
If you would like to take me up on this challenge just leave a comment telling me you're ready to go! If there are any holiday time to-do items on your list that you want to make sure we cover make sure to mention them in your comment too!

Why not, the Empire State Building had them, flagship Nike Store in New York had them and even Google had bed bugs. What makes your hotel in Toronto so different? Bed bug bites are at epidemic proportions now and can be found in all major hotels.
Bed bugs are not choosy and it is a myth that they are only found in dirty down market establishments. Bed bugs are not that choosy – in fact they prefer a nice clean linen to fighting their way through dirt and debris to get to their source of food – human blood.
The fact that you are a hotel gives you a high level of chance that you will get bed bug bites. Bed bugs are transported from establishment to establishment via people's luggage. They cling onto people's night clothes or any clothes that have touched an infected bed and then are packed away in the suitcase as your visitors move from place to place.
So how do you know that you have bed bugs or bed bug bites? Well bed bugs are shy, little, nocturnal creatures that like to hide in crevices and under mattresses so you are unlikely to see them directly. They do leave behind small dark red dots that are their fecal matter so train your room staff to keep an eye out for these signs.
Unfortunately the first time you hear of your infestation may well be from a customer complaint. That is not going to do a lot of good for your reputation. You now know that there is a bed bug epidemic and that clean places get infested as well as the dirty ones, but will your customer understand? Probably not.
So the answer is to obtain regular, precautionary pest spraying from your Toronto pest control company. They will make regular and discreet visits to your hotel in order to check for infestations and deal with any warning signs very quickly. This will ensure that if bed bugs have arrived at your hotel they are dealt with as soon as possible.
When the word discrete is used, it means that you will not have sign written vans parked outside the front of your hotel with workmen moving through your corridors as in the "Ghost Busters"! A professional Toronto pest controller knows about the bed bug infestation, knows how to recognize the signs and more importantly knows how to kill the bugs before they become a problem to your hotel!

Antiques dealer shuts up shop after 44 years (From Bournemouth Echo)

Sandy's Antiques shop in Christchurch Road to close after 44 years of trading
1:00pm Thursday 3rd April 2014 in News By Darren Slade
AN ANTIQUES dealer whose business became a Boscombe landmark is shutting up shop after 44 years.
For 33 of its years on Christchurch Road, Sandy's Antiques was notable as the shop with the stuffed bear in the window.
The bear disappeared several years ago but owners Mike and Michelle Sandy continued trading, even though changing fashions took their toll on the antiques trade.
They now send a lot of Victorian furniture to an auction house in Texas but will dispatch their last container on April 14 and close the shop by the end of the month.
Mike Sandy said Boscombe had a busy antiques trade when he opened the shop in 1970.
"It was thriving down here. People used to come down from London and think it was like a mini Portobello Road in the 1970s," he said.
"The shops slowly closed and now I'm one of the last left standing."
Local people used to give directions by mentioning the shop with the bear in the window but objections from animal rights supporters prompted Mike to sell the stuffed animal to a dealer seven years ago. It is now back in the Black Forest region from which it came.
"It was hunted back in the Victorian days but that was all the fashion in those days. Of course you wouldn't go and do it now," he said.
Mike and Michelle regularly send Victorian furniture to Texas.
"We've been shipping in 40ft containers to America for the last 30 years. There's a big demand out there and no demand in England," said Mike.
He said Japan was also a bigger market for antique furniture than the UK.
"It's unbelievable. It's all going abroad. It's never going to come back," he added.
Mike said the slump in demand was one reason for closing the shop, along with the fact that he had reached retirement age.
"We've had hundreds of people walking in saying they can't believe we're closing and they're really sad," he said.
"I'm just going to retire and will probably dabble in antiques in a small way but without the shop."
Mike and Michelle owe their marriage to the business, since they met at an auction 20 years ago.

They used to say that you could put 2 antique dealers on a desert island and they would both make a good living.

Disney on Ice is in Denver at the Pepsi Center, Dec. 9th-12th (with a special show in Spanish). Use COLORADO in the coupon/promo code box for a discount on tickets when purchased through Colorado Kids.
I saw a Disney on Ice production a few years ago at the Denver Coliseum and it was, well, um….not great. I'm not sure if the venue was the problem or if I just had high expectations, but I remember thinking it was a tad cheesy and not really a show that lived up to the level I associated with Disney.
The allure of a Disney production means hope beats eternal for this writer and mom, though. So when Colorado Kids asked me to do a sneak peek (with complimentary tickets), I gathered up my two younger kids (4 & 8) and two of their BFF's and off we went.
What you need to know if you go
Getting there: To avoid dealing with parking, we took the train in from the 'burbs and it was very easy-peasy. The Pepsi Center is a great venue—much better for a Disney show. The staff there is just fantastic, and we got to meet several of them (which is what happens when you lose a coat and then have a kid fall on the escalator—she was fine, but good times, peeps, good times). Anyway, they were very professional and really gracious.
Concessions: We paid $4.50 for a big tub of popcorn from the Pepsi Center and then $12 for a bag of Disney cotton candy, spun by real princesses (I'm guessing). :) Know that there is 'reasonably' priced concession foods and then Disney snow cones, treats and paraphernalia. So plan accordingly. I made the kids get (multiple) drinks at the drinking fountain.
The show: Overall, it was a good show and I think worth the ticket price. It felt more substantial then the show a few years back, though I wasn't as wowed as I had hoped. There were definitely little wows and by the kid's faces, they liked it. NOTE: At about the 15 minute mark the show gets a bit creepy for young kids. Characters from Tim Burton's A Nightmare Before Christmas take the ice and the kids I was with were a bit scared. After the intermission, there is a pretty neat bit where the ice is lit on fire. All the kids in the audience sang along to a song from The Princess and the Frog and there were a nice number of very familiar Disney princesses and characters. The Toy Story characters were a crowd favorite. The overall arch of the story will be lost on most kids, so I would strongly encourage you to get seats as close as you can so they will be able to focus on the characters. (Side note: I wonder why they don't use the big screens to project the show? Hmm…)
The actual skating was average to pretty good with several crowd pleasing moves.
But, really, your kids aren't there for the skating—they are there for the cotton candy.

Here's the Story Circle we did on Episode 325! We were going to do something completely different this episode (which you can still hear on episode 326 once it goes up!), but we spent entirely too much time on Conspiracy card discussions. Since we didn't have time to give our intended topic the treatment it deserves, we hurriedly decided to pick one of the new legends from Conspiracy and do a Story Circle! This one looks like a lot of fun to play. That could be because it bears a small resemblance to some other Commander decks we've played or created in the past. Either way, hope everyone enjoys!
Remember Commander Shenanigans 2? It was episode 303. Later that day, we recorded another episode. This is it. For some reason, when we record one live episode it records through the USB mic, which is why CS2 sounded good. When we record a second one, it defaults to the built-in laptop mic. That happened here, and we didn't catch it. This episode is a few days late because I decided to try to make it sound better, because it really sounded like crap. Sorry about that, but hopefully you'll think it was worth the wait.
Since there were five of us (the usual four dorks and Brian's buddy Jon Raymer), we decided to play a game of Assassin, since it is easily one of Chewie's favorite game types ever. This episode is actually a really good way to learn that everyone plays the game differently, as evidenced by some of our reactions to the way Jon started the game (really Chewie was just irritiable at having his Titan killed).
After the Assassin game, Dirk had to leave. The rest of us took advantage of having time left at the end of the first game to play a "lightning round". We all grabbed EDH decks that would lead to relatively quick games and played. It turns out it wasn't quite a "lightning" fast game, but it was still quicker than our usual games. Hope you guys enjoy!

You knew it was coming. Deep down, you knew. Once they announced the new Commander product, you even started asking for it. As the decks were revealed, you even demanded it.
Well who are we to ignore the pleas of our beloved fans? So here we go. The four of us gathered at Brian's house along with John, The Fifth One. You might recognize him from some of our Prerelease Field Recordings, he's been there for a couple of them. But we each grabbed an unedited Commander 2013 deck and commenced beating the holy living crap out of each other. In an epic three hour game (and that's not counting the break for lunch in the middle) we traded haymakers, board wipes, and verbal barbs until only one dork stood victorious!
Which of the green decks did Dirk play? Which of the dorks almost lost their temper and all interest in the game? Who ended up winning the whole shebang? Which of those was a trick question? For answers to all of these and more, tune in to listen. Don't worry, after the editing the game wasn't the full three hours.
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
We are joined this episode by Uriah Oxford, the progenitor of the CMDR Decks video series! Why? Because he's awesome! And because we have the entirety of the Commander 2013 decks to talk about! But first, there's a bit of other news to discuss. Mike and Brian have to tell us about their latest foray into FNM, or Standard, or drafting, or whatever. It was all of the above mixed together. Then there's a new Duel Decks and Magic Online Vintage Masters.
After that, we're off into Commander previews! We're taking a hard look at each of the decks, checking out both the new awesome cards and the old awesome cards in each one. And there are some seriously awesome cards here. I mean holy crap. But that's pretty much it for the rest of the episode, so we hope you enjoy!
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
As if you couldn't tell from the title, we're joined this episode by former Muse, former Gathering Magic writer, former Star City Games writer, current DailyMTG writer and longtime Mana Pool listener Bruce Richard! Be sure you pronounce that all French-like, it turns out he's Canadian. But don't hold that against him, he's still completely awesome! You can follow him on Twitter @manaburned
We begin the episode by getting Bruce to give us some background. Who he is, where he came from, that sort of thing. From there we dive right into Commander previews, because heaven forbid we have any freakin' time at all between preview seasons. But at least these cards are pretty cool, if not a little wordy at times.
After an appropriate enough musical break, we've got a really fun Magic Mad Lib, followed by a brand new Story Circle! We've gotta do a Commander-style Story Circle with one of these new legendary dudes, and if you were listening closely to the previews I'm pretty sure you'll be able to figure out which one. If you want to see the full list we came up with, just click here: http://themanapool.com/the-deck-box/storycircle298edh/

Research in Industrial Projects for Students (RIPS) 2006
A Program for Undergraduates
June 25 - August 25, 2006
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
RIPS2006 Opening Day Schedule - June 26, 2006
RIPS2006 Projects Day - August 18, 2006
What is IPAM-RIPS?
The Research in Industrial Projects (RIPS) Program provides an opportunity for college and university upper classmen/women to work in teams on a real-world research project proposed by a sponsor from industry or a national lab. RIPS recruits its students from all over the world. Each RIPS team is comprised of four students, a faculty mentor, and an industrial sponsor. The research problem is developed by the industrial sponsor in consultation with IPAM - it is always something that the sponsor really wants to know the answer to. The students, with direction from their faculty mentor and industrial sponsor, spend nine weeks during which they learn about the problem, master the latest analytical approaches and techniques to solve it, and develop report-writing and public-speaking skills to be able to make professional presentations about the progress and results of their work to a scientific audience. Company mentors provide regular contact between the team and the sponsor, monitoring and helping to guide student work. Projects focus on problems of serious interest to the sponsor and offer a stimulating challenge to students. Participation in RIPS provides valuable real-world technical and managerial experience for students and valuable R&D for sponsors.
RIPS Program Director: Michael Raugh, Ph.D.
Comments from former RIPS students:
What kinds of projects are suitable for students at this level of academic preparation?
Projects are selected to have a major mathematical component and to be something that will pose an interesting challenge to talented undergraduates. Students selected to participate in RIPS are usually college or university upper classmen either majoring in mathematics or in disciplines which require a strong mathematics background. Recent projects have ranged from how to do a physics-based animation of a lava lamp, how to stitch together two images, how to analyze cancer data using microarrays, statistical data assimilation methods for weather data, modeling particle transport phenomena in reactors, and designing missions to the moons of Jupiter. This is only a sampling of the types of projects that have been available for RIPS students. New industrial sponsors join the RIPS Program each year and the types of projects are different from year-to- year. Last year's sponsors were Arete, Hewlett Packard, Jet Propulsion Lab, Lawrence-Livermore National Lab, Los Alamos National Lab, Microsoft Research, Pixar Animation and TimeLogic. Please contact IPAM at the email address listed below if you would like to discuss an idea for a summer project.

Who should consider applying to RIPS?
RIPS is a program for students who are enrolled in or have just completed an undergraduate degree-granting program. Students with a strong background in mathematics and who are interested in seeing how mathematics is used in the real world are encouraged to apply. Competition is strong for the limited slots available and participant selection is based on academic standing. International students are eligible for RIPS.
What does RIPS have to offer a student at my level of preparation?
Most summer REU research experiences focus on an academic problem where students work closely with an academic mentor. RIPS is unique in that students learn how to apply their mathematics knowledge to a real-world industrial problem (such as the ones described in the previous section). For many RIPS students, this is their first experience working in a team environment. Each project is assigned to a team consisting of four students and each team is assigned a faculty mentor (typically a UCLA faculty mentor or someone from another Southern California university) as well as an industrial mentor (someone who represents the industrial sponsor and is responsible for the project at the industrial site). RIPS students have an opportunity to explore careers in technology before having to make a career decision. They learn about the specific company that is sponsoring their project through communication and interaction with their industrial mentor and at least one site visit to their company. They also learn about the companies sponsoring other projects through presentations and discussion with other RIPS students. Throughout the summer, RIPS students learn report-writing and public presentation skills that will be invaluable to them should they chose to continue with an academic or professional career in an industrial setting. These latter skills, combined with real-world research know-how, give students an added edge that makes them more competitive in today's career marketplace.
In addition, UCLA and West Los Angeles are the perfect place to spend your summer. RIPS students form close professional and personal relationships and live, work and socialize together over the summer. Each student receives on-campus lodging, board and a summer stipend. An office and computer are assigned to students at the IPAM Building in order to conduct their work. Other computing resources are available, depending on the project. Westwood Village is located approximately four miles from the Pacific Ocean and is also within close proximity to other popular local attractions.

fergus is a hero to me, he's always been. i've been to st john restaurant 3 times, always coming from italy just for gourmet weekends in the uk.
now my high opinion on him as a chef-patron has been heavily stroke.
yesterday i called st john bred and wine and asked if there was any sunday brunch, and asked for a 4 people table starting from 10.30: they took the reservation.
when there today the menu was only ham toast, porridge and plums, yogurt and stewed apples. we ordered all, plus apple juice, coffee and water. it was 10,55 when i asked for cider, but the waitress refused to serve it because "we serve alchool from 11". so i waited 5 minutes, asked it again and obtained it. after 15 minutes they changed the menu turning into the proper brunch menu – and i got really pissed because nobody told us there would have been a change of menu in 30 minutes. we were very interested in trying the mackarel and ghe sardines, but never managed to order them as all the people working in the restaurant sat at a long table beside us and started eating THEIR brunch – that actually looked beautifull – and drinking coca cola in big plastic bottles.
the most depressing restaurant/café experience in uk ever.
surely won't do it again. uk is full of beatyfull traditional pubs, butchers and markets where to eat old style simple food: realizing this was the only good aspect of the day.

text: If you're new to any of Glenn Danzig's music (The Misfits, Samhain, Danzig) I don't suggest this album for you, because you will not be able to fully appreciate it. However, if you're a fan of The Misfits and/or Danzig, this is a treat to own. While the recording quality is pretty bad, you won't care, because if you like the Misfits, you've learned to overlook that. So "Live: '85-'86″ is basically every great Samhain song played live. It starts with a remake of the Misfits' "All Hell Breaks Loose" simply re-titled "All Hell" and ends the concert in the Samhain classic "Arch Angel". Personal favorites on this album are "The Howl", "All Murder, All Guts, All Fun", "Black Dream", "Death Comes Ripping", "Mother of Mercy", "To Walk The Night", "Halloween II", "London Dungeon", and "Arch Angel". Glenn Danzig fans from all around: buy this album, it's a rare treat.

Poured into a pint glass. Clear reddish brown with a sticky beige head. Tangy citrus aroma with bready brown malts. Flavor is toasted wheat bread with orangey hops, maybe some caramel. Rather light. Mouthfeel is average in every way. Drinkable but boring.

Kind of a amber/brown hybrid here low on the hops that are more noticable in the nose subdued but noticable big fruity esters and juicy fruit packe flavors.Brown sugar notes are quite big up front on the palate with a drying earthy finish.Anunderlying dark cola flavor becomes more prevelant as I drink more it is quite a sociable ale Iam guessing quite low in alcohol nothing to blow you away but I dont think it was intended to by any means.

More brown than amber. A tanned bronze without much head.
Juxtaposed nose of caramel nougat and pine needles.
Begins with a rye notion, dense and bready with wavering spiciness. Migrates toward grainier places as this continues. Sweetens considerably with brown sugar and caramel. Remains sweetish, grain-laden and toasty through the remainder. A minor influx of piney bitterness appears at the close.
Medium body with moderate carbonation. This is semi-agreeable, boring amber/brown ale. Neither the malt or hop structure has much allure.
Ok, at best.

A slightly hazy, very dark and reddish copper body rests gently beneath a short head of ivory colored foam. It drops shortly to an average collar, but leaves some nice splashes and spots of lace. The nose offers a blend of yeasty fruitiness, some dark caramel malt, and a sprig of piney hops. It's delicately zesty in the mouth with a very fine, median carbonation. The flavor picks up where the aroma leaves off, and adds a firm bitterness and more hop flavor into the mix. It finishes dry with some gently lingering malt, fruit and hop. This beer won a silver medal at the 1996 Great American Beer Festival in the English-style brown ale category. And although there is a certain depth to its malt character, I really don't see it as a brown ale. But on the other hand, it's much more than a pale ale. A hybrid, perhaps? Interesting and enjoyable!

Off the tap with one finger of head on a cloudy, dark straw colored body.
The aroma is citrusy and honey, pretty nice.
The taste is mildly sweet with a hop spicy middle.
It's smooth with moderate carbonation.
Here's a good beer with some unique flavors and still an everyday drinker.

On tap at Maggie o grearys
Pour was a light amber. Light creamy head that had light retention and nice lacing.
lots of floral hops with a sweet candy malt.
Nice light sweet amber flavor with a dominating floral hop presence.
Light body with a mild carbonation. Light sweetness left behind.
The scores for this were lower than I would have thought. I found this to be a fun amber with a nice hoppy flavor. Very easy to drink. I would buy this again for sure.

Ruby-brown in hue, kind of murky, influences of orange as well, no animation was noticed in the liquid. The head was beige in color; at the summit the foam reached one finger in height, it quickly faded to a soapy cap. Subsequent lacing was almost zilch. In the glass it looks ordinary but kind of mucked up. The nose is interesting. The label on the bottle proclaims it won the Silver Medal at the GABF in 96 for the English Brown Ale category. So what has changed since 96? Is it the definition of an EBA? Or has this recipe changed because this is far too hoppy for the style. Malt starts the bouquet, sweet and caramel with a good base. Butterscotch. It is a little yeasty too, both fruity and doughy. At the back, enters the hops, hints of citrus but definitely piney. Odd. Inviting if I ignore the style I love Brown Ales so I am disappointed in once sense. The palate is interesting, as the malt is pleasant at times but, overall, too mushy. Caramel is nice. Faint butterscotch (while maybe not intentional) is okay. Bready qualities like fresh dough, yeasty too. Fruitiness is prevalent with flavors like raisins and some nondescript chocolaty dark fruit. I like it. Hops are at the back, kind of raw, misplaced, leafy and piney. This beer is really a hybrid of a Brown Ale and an American Amber. It works; still it is not a standout. Aftertaste is sweet and tacky. It needs food. I think this beer would work well with burgers and whatnot; I wont bother with it as a standalone beverage. But thats just me. Medium in body, it does have some bulk, the carbonation is moderately low, and the mouthfeel is doable but noting special. Sure, this beer is drinkable. I dont find it to be a great drink; I could quaff it again. In conclusion however, this beer is not an English Brown Ale, so ignore the labeling. I purchased one bottle of this beer in Brookfield, WI because I never heard of this brewery before. Decent.

Pours a medium iced tea color with an amber/copper hue, minimal off white head, and some carb action.
Difficult to smell the caramel malt and citrus hops.
Moderately acidic, lightly bitter, and wet staw taste with lots of grapefruit hops.
Medium bodied, dry almost watery texture, average carbonation, and a strong metallic and moderately astringent finish.
The wet straw taste and strong grapwfruit metallic finish would limit my session.

Although the bottle states that this beer won a silver medal at the Great American Beer Festival as an English Brown Ale, I have to disagree and say that it comes across to me more as an amber ale. Although this beer pours dark amber, it lacks the nutty, chocolate, or even roasted malt flavors that I've detected in brown ales. The malt flavors instead suggest caramel and sweetbreads, with the hops balancing the sweet malts pretty well. I don't mind a sweeter tasting session ale as long as it finishes dry. This a medium bodied beer, but is very much a session ale, with a not so bitter, but dry finish -- so it's okay with me.

Last bottle of a sixpack originally purchased at a Bay Area BevMo couple of months ago. The first five were big fizzers so I did everything I could on this 6th one to control that. Delicate pour from an ice cold bottle yields a 2-inch head of rocky, sand colored foam. Aggressive carbonation is apparent through this beer's murky, amber body. Not an unpleasant sight.
Aroma is that of roasted malt with a hint of cinnamon. Nice malty flavor from the start but a slight medicinal bitterness offsets, and the carbonation is attacking my mouth like a pitbull. I would like to try this fresh from the brewpub some time, but I don't think I'll be buying any more sixpacks from BevMo.

Brownish amber with plenty of haze. Modest cream white head fades quickly. Good amount of lacing. Aroma is sweet and grainy. Taste is sweet with a rich hop presence. Hops weave in and out and finish is medium dry bitterness. No abv listed I would guess it is about 5%. No date on bottle and I think this is a bit over the hill. Good Amber would like to have a fresh one sometime.

Pours a clear copper color with a white head that leaves a ring of lacing.
Smells of toasted malts with a touch of citric hops, but quite faint.
Tastes of the toasted malts and citrus, but the flavors feel muted. Sweet caramel and toasted bread notes lead off. This gives way to some citrus hops along with an earthy spiciness. Everything feels underdone and could use an extra kick.
Mouthfeel is medium with a smooth amount of carbonation.
Overall, it doesn't jump out at me and say this is even a pretty good beer. Again everything feels muted, and while there is nothing that turns me off to it, I can't see myself drinking another one.

Deep hazy amber with a thin white lace. Smells of fruit bread and sweet esters. Mild, bready malt up front with some dried apricot esters on a soft, medium-thin body. Hops are subtle and barely balance the sweetish malts with a leafy tea-like bitterness. Finishes quite dry with a gentle hop aftertaste. Highly drinkable, reminiscent of Boont Amber.
A nicely made English style ale; I could imagine this being very tasty on cask. Perfect balance with a lot of finesse, but just a little too thin.

The beer presents a medium to deep amber color on the pour, the head is substantial in size, bubbly in texture and the color an off white, the lace forms a sheet to cover the glass from view. Malt dominates the nose, crisp and citrus like tones noticed, sweet as is the start and the top average or middling in feel. Finish is perfectly hopped, fair to moderate carbonation and a dry aftertaste, a good drinking beer, one I order on a somewhat regular basis from beer on the wall, got a 12 pack of different beers on the way woo-hoo.

Pours a hazy brown ale with not much of a head.
Smell is sweet and fruity with a bit of pine and tea in the scent.
Taste is dry and malty with a strong caramel flavor. Fruitiness does not show up in the actual flavor. Just a bland ale flavor here, disappointing the scent held promise of a good beer.
Mouthfeel is blah whatever.
Drinkability is Blah. I will finish the glass but I won't be drinking this again.

Paid about $7-8 for a 6 Pack of this from a small liquor store in Morgan Hill. Gingerly poured into a pint glass.
Small half inch light tan head. Dark brownish amber color. I can just barely see through the glass to the other side. Not heavily carbonated. Some lacing that dissipates in a matter of a couple of minutes.
A slightly spicy aroma with hints of caramel and cinnamon. The aroma is very mild.
Like the aroma, the taste is rather mild. Not very hoppy at all. The caramel aroma is not as prevalent in the taste. Watery finish. Quality ingredients used sparingly in this English Brown Ale.
Lightly carbonated, light bodied.
Very easy to drink. The ABV is not listed, but I would imagine it is pretty light.
I remember tasting this one on tap directly from the belly of the beast in Morgan Hill. I liked that pint better than this one indicating that freshness may be a factor. It is not the best brew by El Toro, but it certainly is one of their most common and popular. This beer won Silver Medal at the 1996 Great American Beer Festival for English-Style Brown Ale.

Deep amber color, a bit of ruby red. Rocky head is quite substantial. Subdued nose, a bit of nuts, but not much more.
Medium mouthfeel. Fills out the palate just enough for session beer. Sweet, bready malts. A touch of candied nuts. Carmel. Spicy hop finish with a very late arriving bitterness.
Finishes nicely with fairly long sweetness holding in there.

Acquired from rayjay courtesy of Secret Santa 2007, so a big Thank you goes out to him. Poured from a 12oz bottle into a US tumbler glass.
A: The beer is a light brown color, with a short off-white head that fades slowly and leaves a thick lace on the glass.
S: The aroma is of caramelized malt, maple, nuts, some fruit and a little hops.
T: The taste starts with a malty breadiness and then some sweet flavors of maple, fruit and caramel come in, but it doesnt overdo the sweetness. Theres a decent hops presence that provides a good balance. The malt character overall is hearty but on the thin side for the style. The after-taste is slightly sweet.
M: Smooth and very crisp, medium body, medium carbonation, finish is clean.
D: Tasty, goes down easily, not too filling, mild kick, good representation of style. This is a good beer to drink for a long time if youre in the mood for the style but looking for something lighter than most brown ales.

A good solid flavorful, refreshing amber ale. Nice tan head left nice rings of lace. malty aroma with subtle hop notes. Good hoppy balanced malty taste profile. A very refreshing brew that is more quenching than most ambers which are a bit too chocolatey for me. Most drinkable and plenty of other patrons were ordering poppy as well. Good stuff.

Short Review
The Carbon Copy is here for the weekend, so no time to write long posts at the moment. He also pointed out that 'Reading Between The Covers' post sounds like I've never actually read a book, and just look at the covers and "how many birds I saw on the day I bought the book"... oops, if I came across as a bit of a dullard! Succinctly, what I meant was that if I want to enjoy a book, I'm more likely to do so.
Being a brief post, I'm going to tell you about the book I'm reading in as few words as possible. It's Yes Man by Danny Wallace.
Review in 10 words: Man starts saying yes to everything. Non-fiction. Very funny indeed!
Hmm. Verbose. Let's try 5 words: Man always says yes; funny!
3 words: Comedian says yes!
1 word: YES!

Sean Penn Dating Charlize Theron?
Out with Scarlett, then.
Sean Penn was rumored just yesterday to be dating Scarlett Johansson, but her rep shot that one down fast. Now rumors are getting kicked up that Sean's actually seeing Charlize Theron, who split from her longtime boyfriend last year.
Read: Scarlett Johansson and Sean Penn Hooking Up?
Interestingly, Sean Penn is said to have been romancing Charlize at the same place as his supposed Scarlett hook-up site, the Chateau Marmont.
The National Enquirer (via Celebitchy) said that Sean and Charlize "nuzzled, snuggled, kissed, and cooed" with each other near onlookers.
"Sean and Charlize have been good friends for years. But now that neither is in a relationship, their friendship has blossomed into full-blown romance. They aren't ready to go totally public yet, but are spending lots of private time together!"
Read: Sean Penn's Girlfriend Arrested.
Let's say that you like what Sean Penn did in Haiti, and you think he's a good actor. Very well. But if you page through enough photos of him, you'll see that he looks rather... rough. Definitely not a comeback piece per se, or a hot hook-up. Like why would you waste your time? His reputation with women and relationships is abysmal, and he's a chain-smoking grouch.
Would you feel differently about Charlize if you found out she was dating Sean Penn?

Video of Cool JavaFX Demos at JavaOne 2008
During the Tuesday afternoon general session at JavaOne 2008, there were some cool JavaFX-related announcements and demos. Grab some popcorn and watch this video of a portion of the session, which includes:
- An announcement that ON2 and Sun now have a relationship that will make the ON2 video codec available as part of the Java and JavaFX platforms. This will allow video to be converted to a common format and played on any machine or device that supports Java.
- The JavaFX version of the parleys.com website, which is the Belgium Java Users Group's (JUG) site for sharing video presentations about Java. Stephan Janssen, who leads the JUG as well as the JavaPolis conference in Belgium, presented the site with Jo Voordeckers, the JavaFX developer of the site. Stephan also announced that any JUG can post presentation videos to the new parleys.com site, which up to now has received most of its content from the JavaPolis conferences.
- An early peek at a design tool for JavaFX in which graphics can be created in Photoshop and Illustrator, and exported for use by a JavaFX program. This tool is currently named Distiller, and will support the collaboration of graphic designers and software developers. As a side note, ReportMill is also making some great progress on their JavaFX designer tool.
- A demo of a three-dimensional multi-player game named MoonTank developed in JavaFX. One of the demonstrators is Chris Oliver, the founder of JavaFX.
Enjoy the video. This JavaFX stuff is getting exciting!

It is a cool approach that designers can export to javaFX script from Illustrator..
... but wouldn't a better idea be to provide a native PSD / AI / SVG format renderer in Java? No need to export...just use Adobe Photoshop/Illustrator/SVG files directly from Java. Just a suggestion :-)
Not even Adobe's own Flex can do that if I recall...

Meanwhile, "the watch video of this session" is in flash! Irony or being realistic. Early bird catches the worm, Java had it's chance to be a video option years ago, it missed it, and now Flash owns video embedding in the browser. Just ask MS who also lost to Flash video. Just my 2 cents, I will stick with server Java where it's safe to say it will be around for a long time. Wasting time and resources on client Java, I will leave to you guys... enjoy ;)

A Lewis County jury has acquitted Ronald Morris on a charged of threats of terroristic acts.
The charge stemmed from an incident at Sharpe Hospital in Weston.
Prosecutors said Morris threatened to bring a gun to the hospital and shoot his coworkers there.
He was arrested later the same afternoon.

Dockers® Alpha Khaki - Midnight 375 460
too short Dockers has, for some reason, decided not to make these pants in a 34 length in the smaller waist sizes (32). That's a shame. Not every tall person is a large waist. August 25, 2013
Appears to be a great pair of khakis....I would have bought other colors but most colors weren't available in my size which seemed strange to me August 20, 2013
These pants are freakin' great I wear Alpha Khakis to work every day. I like the feel of them so much that I usually end up wearing one of my pairs on the weekend as well. I WISH they were a touch more rugged (heck, I wish they lasted a lifetime) but I have a pair that is going on 16 months now (with lots of abuse) and it is still wearable, if worn. Bottom line: These pants are awesome. August 15, 2013
too slim I got these for my son and when he put them on his sister said he looked like a skater boy. The pants were too narrow at the hem. My son is very slim, so we needed a slim pant, but didn't like the skinny look. August 12, 2013
Great pantalones These are great everyday work pants. I can wear them out to meet clients or check on jobs. Great modern fit. August 12, 2013
Great Khaki I can share with my bf I bought Alphas because I love the loose fit and casual look on a girl's body. When my guy friends saw me wearing them, they demanded that I let them all try the Alphas on. They loved the fit! August 11, 2013
good but not perfect I love alpha khaki, but the fit in this color is baggy, for this reason i recommended other color, maybe black. August 9, 2013
I love alpha khaki this alpha kaki have alll necesary to look perfectly. When I receive and wear my first Alpha black, reorder other pair. I love it August 9, 2013
So tight... Wow these are tight. It must be my athletic thighs, because these are so tight around my butt and quads. The length was good (34X34) but they don't have a tight waist and fall all over the place even with a belt(A 32X34 would have been better). Now I'm stuck with ridiculously tight pants that I do not prefer to wear. Would not buy this product again or recommend because none of my friends have pencil thin thighs. August 8, 2013
Cool color and nice fit. I got this pants for my husban and, I have to say that, he loves the color and the style however I have to say that the fabric is not very strong. August 8, 2013
Dockers does it again with Alpha Khakis The Alpha Khaki is a good pant and feels just right. Slim in style, it gives a great look and the loops will take a wide belt which I like. July 31, 2013
The best pants I am on my second pair--have to wear all black at work---the fit and look is amazing--i'm 5/9, 145--so need shirts and trousers that are fitted or they hang on me--to the that said they need to be ironed, take them out of the dryer while still damp, and hang em up----next morning they are dry and wrinkle free---I have NEVER had to lay an iron on them! July 30, 2013
Great fit and color... The fit of these pants is great. I'm 5'-6" and 155 lb. - typically wear 32/30, but found the 33/30 to fit better. My thighs were a bit snug in the 32s. A great looking, slim pant that can be dressed up or down. The material has a nice weight (sturdy, yet breathable) and they hold their shape very well. July 29, 2013
great pants these pants are terrific! The only problem is that I cant find them in the color (s) I want i.e. navy, safari beige, etc. July 15, 2013
perfect Pant for real Alpha Man i don't have to say much, it's the perfect pant a game changer for your week end your night out depend on the color or your style! July 13, 2013
Like jeans, only way nicer I'm not really a "khaki guy" but I took a chance on Alpha Khakis. They fit my body well, tapered nicely at the ankle and are a good substitute for jeans, which I usually wear all the time. One note: Alphas are a bit snug in the thigh so if you've got muscular legs, try them on first and do some bends while you're in the changing room. June 21, 2013
Almost Perfect; So very close. I am very happy with my purchase of two Alpha Khakis and definitely plan to purchase a few more. The fit is really comfortable; slim but not skinny and a flat front is a must. Men's pleat front pants need to be banned for good! My Alpha Khakis garner compliments so very often and they are quite flattering. I wear them at work where jeans are usually the norm and they feel great all day. Now my only gripe, and what makes these a four star instead of five is the fact that they get wrinkled so easily even fresh out of the dryer. Due to the heavier fabric used they must be ironed. Now I never iron my jeans and I hate ironing so if the Alpha Khaki is supposed to be somewhere between a Jean and a Khaki, then it is essential that these be fabricated with a wrinkle resistent fabric. If these were made with a somewhat lighter weight and wrinkle resistent I would wear them every day and they would truly earn a perfect rating. Please Dockers, make Alpha Khaki version 2.0 lighter weight and wrinkle free. Thank You. June 18, 2013
Great Color Again, the Alpha's are my "Go-to" pants. Great color and the fit is always right on. Dresses up sneakers and looks good with dress shoes. June 13, 2013
Like the pants. Need the boots! I have two pair of the Alphas. They fit great and wear well. I want the boots that the guy has on in picture. Does anyone know what they are? June 12, 2013
Awesome pants! This is my first review. These pants are awesome! The only problem is I don't own enough. Dockers needs to restock sizes quick. June 11, 2013
One of my favorite pairs of pants These pants fit like a glove! I'm just disappointed I had not bought a pair sooner. Docker's has done well with the Alpha Khakis. June 9, 2013
Best Khakis Awesome fit and a fine mix between hipster/profesional. June 6, 2013
Great cut This fit is fantastic. Easy to dress up/down with, and extremely comfortable. I have 2 pairs, and will be needing another for certain. Only thing I would change is the low-rise. Other than that, perfect. June 6, 2013
Apha Khaki-all colors Crazy good pants...much like refined jeans, perfect fit for a slim guy, fit great around butt with nice taper to cuff. Unlike the Signature line these do not have a crease built in June 6, 2013
Great pant This is not my first pair, may be my 10th, of Dockers. Reliable, easy to wear and great seasonal colors. June 3, 2013
Disappointed the fit simply doesn't match up to what I was advertised. May 30, 2013
Heard good things about these. So far so good. Only worn them twice since getting them, but as others have mentioned, these are a touch more refined than jeans and much more wearable for my business casual work environment. Should also work well on weekends. Fabric seems substantial and the color is consistent throughout the pants. The 34" X 30" seem just a touch longer than I'd like (or maybe it's the taper that makes them seem a bit longer?), but I will wash them just in case there is any shrinkage before I decide if they need hemming. I think 34" X 29" would be a bit too short for me though. I like a very slight break, but not into the highwaters look. May 29, 2013
Alpha Kackis Nice material - but cut way too large. Will need to return for smaller size May 22, 2013
Found my new favorite pants I have forever struggled trying to find well fitting pants that don't need extensive work at a tailor. These are nicer than jeans, fit perfectly, not too slim and don't suffer from the saggy butt that most khakis do. I can't wait to get them in all the colors. May 19, 2013
Best khakis...hands down. The fit is unlike any khakis I've had before. Bought two pairs and now own five pairs including camouflage. Great for casual or dress up with a blazer. Would like to see more colors available online... May 17, 2013

News: Nicki Minaj Watches Her Moves, "Whether They Love Or Hate It, People Are Going To Pick It Apart"
Saturday, Apr 9, 2011 7:41AM
Young Money's Nicki Minaj discusses her recent fame with a platinum-selling debut album and mainstream exposure in the new issue of Elle magazine.
Within the feature, Minaj explains how achieving such a high profile has made her more cautious with decisions she makes.
"To know that I'm 'making waves,' it feels good but it gives me a little more pressure. Because before, I would do things without thinking," she said. "I would do an interview without thinking or wear something without thinking, but it makes me put a lot more thought because now, I know people are going to pick it apart. Whether they love or hate it, people are going to pick it apart...It comes with the territory. You want to be one of those females in the business that people want to see what you're going to wear and what you're going to do and what you're going to say...I just take the good with the bad. I cannot complain. I've been living my dream, and I wouldn't trade it for the world." (Elle)
Last month, Young Money leader Lil Wayne said Minaj's show-and-prove mentality helped her succeed.
"I can't front, I just thought she was going to be the new female MC that none of these other female MCs can touch," Wayne said about Nicki. "But now, she's blossomed into a megastar with this new attitude and this style. Now when I talk to her, I just tell her, 'Do what you do, baby.' I used to be able to go into the studio and say, 'Nah, don't say that, don't say that.' You know, 'That was better.' Now, do what you do, baby. I don't have a clue about what you're doing right now, but it's working, do it." (MTV)
In late December, Minaj credited model Amber Rose for hooking her up with Grammy-winning rapper Kanye West, which resulted in multiple collaborations.
"Well I was great friends with Amber Rose when they were dating and she had recommended me to him for his album and finally I guess he relented [laughs]," Minaj said of meeting West. "One day I got a call from her and she said Kanye wanted me to come down to Hawaii and record for the album. He told me I could pick what I wanted to be on. I heard the beat for 'Monster.' I fell in love with it and that's how the 'Monster' verse happened...When it came to me putting my album out, I was like 'I can't have an album without Kanye. He has to be a part of it.' He's become my mentor, he gives me advice, he hits me, takes random pictures off-line and says 'Oh this is a good picture of you.' He's really into fashion so he's a good person to have a well-rounded conversation with." (RWD Mag)
As of this week, Minaj's debut album has sold over 1.2 million copies.
Young Money rapper Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday remained at No. 20 with 19,900. After 19 weeks on the chart, Nicki's debut album has sold 1,281,300 copies. (SOHH Sales Wrap)

News: White Female Movie Writer Hired For N.W.A. Biopic
Monday, May 3, 2010 1:00PM
Film writer Andrea Berloff has reportedly been hired to write the biopic for famed West Coast rap group N*ggaz Wit Attitude (N.W.A.).
Reports of Berloff's involvement made headlines over the weekend.
Berloff is writing "Straight Outta Compton," the story of the rise and fall of the Compton, Calif.-based group. Having a white writer on black-themed projects, especially biopics, is a fairly recent trend. Sheldon Turner penned a draft of the Rick James project "Super Freak," while Brad Kane wrote the draft of the Richard Pryor project that attracted director Bill Condon. Especially noteworthy is that the person tackling the N.W.A. adaptation is a white woman. However, the scribe, repped by UTA and Benderspink, is known around town for tackling true-life stories. On top of "World Trade Center," she wrote "The Fugees," adapting a New York Times article for Universal, about a group of international refugee soccer kids who settle in Atlanta. (The Hollywood Reporter)
Former N.W.A. member Ice Cube will also be involved on the film.
The film is set up at New Line, with Cube and business partner Matt Alvarez producing along with Tomika Woods, the widow of Eazy-E. The MC died in 1995 at the age of 31, just a couple of weeks after revealing that he had been diagnosed with AIDS. It is not known whether the biopic will cover this period, but E's condition did bring the troubled group to reconcile their differences. (MTV)
Details on the film's overall premise were released last year.
The bond Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, Eazy-E, Yella and Ren formed surviving on the streets as teens is the foundation of the movie as we then see them go through trial after trial once they hit the big time. From manager Jerry Heller, to the fighting between Cube and Eazy-E, to the media backlash that they faced. The movie will show how the group was torn apart and then how they ultimately reconciled during the news of Eazy-E's bout with AIDs. While the script does touch upon Eazy-E's death, it is the ties that bind the group from their early days in South Central that bring them back together again as they say final goodbyes to Eazy. (WoooHa)
Initial reports said fans would be introduced to an in-depth look into the careers of each member.
New Line is developing Straight Outta Compton, an urban drama about N.W.A. The project will chronicle the rise and fall of the rap quartet, founded by Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, and MC Ren, whose songs were so incendiary (i.e. "F--- tha Police") they were banned from radio playlists but still sold millions of albums. The film's producers, which include Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, and Tomica Wright (Eazy-E's widow), and Circle of Confusion entertainment, are now actively searching for a director along the lines of Curtis Hanson (8 Mile). (Entertainment Weekly)
No further details have been revealed as of now.

U.S. Supreme Court
Justice Kagan Reveals Her Hunting Prowess
Posted Apr 4, 2012 9:26 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
Justice Elena Kagan has a way with weapons, thanks to her colleague, Antonin Scalia.
Speaking at Marquette University on Tuesday, Kagan said Scalia has taught her how to shoot a gun, and she has used her newfound expertise to bag pheasant and quail, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. "He's made a huntress out of me," Kagan said.
Kagan said she has come to view hunting as "really good fun."

Situated 20km from Perth GPO.
This suburb was named in 1901 following a request by 32 residents of the area for a townsite to be declared here. The residents chose the name "CALAMUNDA" as the name of the proposed townsite, combining two Aboriginal words recorded in a book on Aboriginal language by Bishop Salvado. "Cala" signifies "home, district, settlement," and "Munda" signifies "forest" and the residents hoped it would be considered an appropriate name. The name was respelt 'Kalamunnda' by the Surveyor General, but later in 1901 was amended to Kalamunda.

ION Reports
Since 2004, ION's reports have turned the lens on domestic public companies of all sizes, supplementing research provided by Catalyst focused on Fortune 500 Companies. This year, for our Tenth Annual Status Report, we formed a strategic alliance with GMI Ratings International to provide the key statistical data for all Russell 3000 companies in the 18 ION-represented states, among other research support. Detailed state-by-state data will be available in late 2013.
While the numbers are moving slowly, thousands of highly qualified women are ready and willing to step into corporate board positions. So now ION must focus on the "demand side" of this equation to:
- Identify root causes and deep-seated cultural barriers/biases inhibiting real change
- Support ION Member Organizations by providing a national voice and resources to personally engage leaders who will drive change
- Boldly highlight gender stereotypes — and celebrate effective leaders based on results, not style
Download the Executive Summary of ION's Annual Status Report of Women Directors and Executive Officers of Public Companies in 18 US Regions.
A Lesson in Diversity
Companies can be leaders even without the mandate of public officials or prodding by institutional investors. Leading Companies highlighted in previous ION reports offer many lessons:
- Gender diversity at the top is a business imperative, not just a feel-good initiative: board's composition must reflect the environment in which the company operates and competes
- Leading companies that have added multiple women directors have done so not by specifically recruiting women, but by identifying the board's strategic needs and seeking the best-qualified candidates to fill those gaps
- Exceptionally well-qualified women can be found. Sometimes it's just necessary to expand a board search beyond the usual networks, or direct retained search firms to seek out talented women
- Qualified women directors can be found in every industry and sector of the economy
- A diverse board results in high-quality discussion and results

After two hours of canvassing neighborhoods asking for school supplies, Sherrie Conrad and her three kids stuffed her Toyota Camry with books, notepads and markers for Crestline Elementary students.
The "walk and knock" was Conrad's 8-year-old daughter's idea after seeing the rubble that remains after a fire torched the 4-year-old school.
"I thought about the stuff thatI had at my school and I thought they could use some of that stuff," Angela Conrad said.
The supplies, along with $153.25 in cash they collected, will add to the thousands of dollars in money and supplies the Evergreen School District has received since the elementary school burned down last Sunday.
The district has received so many donations, a staff of volunteers is dedicated to sorting and dividing the supplies between the teachers who lost everything in the fire.
The following message was posted on the Evergreen School District's Facebook page Friday:
"We would like to thank everyone in the community for their support. There are several fundraisers currently happening, so we're asking anyone still wanting to do something for Crestline Elementary School to wait and check back with us in a week. That will give the district time to see what the needs are following the initial wave of support!"
Find a list of current fundraisers here.
The district's insurance company will replace the school, hopefully by the beginning of the 2014 school year, according to Evergreen School District spokeswoman Carol Fenstermacher.
The district is still working with the insurance company and teachers to figure out the full extent of the damage. Fenstermacher hoped they would have an estimate by the end of the week.
In the meantime, the district is looking for an empty building to serve as a temporary campus for Crestline students. If there is no suitable building, the district may build portable classrooms on an empty lot for Fall 2013 classes.

09.12.2012 meeting minutes
A lot of people didn't have a lot to say because the semester is over. Those people are Brook, Dyer, Curtis, and Jared.
Nick-If you have a flash drive that you are willing to give up for the winter, put 30-40 minutes of music on it and bring it to Luke or Matt. It'll be used for the dining halls! You also will probably do some voice work with those two so it has a live feel to it.
Alea-Once we figure out the twitter password out, I'll be using the account from last year to…post things. If that doesn't happen, I'll just make a new one! Also, I forgot to say this at the meeting but for the break I will not be able to get any tickets for the Chameleon. I'm sorry if this inconveniences anyone, but once school is back in session, I'll be able to!
Tyler-Sorry about the website, but we're getting a new one over Christmas break!
Howe-We're going to get SWAGGED OUT next semester with some bumper stickers and also pins!
Cody-Allocations is happening, we're getting a new advisor, and also everyone clapped for Roger because he's the only graduating senior.
Luke-He talked about flash drives too. He's going to have different office hours because it's finals week and he'll actually be here pretty much all of break. For the flash drive, make sure you stick with stuff you usually play.
Pauler-Tell people to join next semester!
Witzel-He's going to have regular hours for finals week. Please rotate your commercials! Especially the underwriters!
Doc!- He needs people to make videos for their majors.
Bri-We have a finals week grid!
Graduating seniors (Roger) have first dibs until midnight, then everyone gets it before noon but you can only pick one time slot, and then after noon tomorrow you can sign up for as many as you want!
Codes of conduct and time slot forms were handed out. THESE NEED TO BE FILLED OUT AND HANDED IN BY NOON THIS FRIDAY (DECEMBER 14)
There will be posters in the station next semester with Dos and Do Not lists.
Shannon- There's the Schreiber (spelling? I'm not good at this game) Volleyball game on February 23, 2013! Witzel will be DJing til 4:30 and then somebody else can take over. We also usually have a team, so PLEASE sign up if you're interested!
Marauder Ball is MARCH 8. We need tons and TONS of help with this (set up and tear down) so please take off work or whatever so you can help out! This is a semi-formal dance that Witzel will be DJing.
Next semester we will have a probation period. Basically, we (council) we listen intently to new DJs' shows, people that have strikes, or whatever and then give them feedback. There will be a high way clean up sometime in February (weather depending!) It will be a "first come, first serve" mentality with sign-ups. So, get there quick before all of the spots are taken!
We nominated people for Miss Millersville: Miss Shannon Sisson and Miss Amanda McFadden! They're going to have a street fight to decide who does it. No bets will be taken.
Secret Amigo will be next semester because time slots are changing!
We then did awards and White Elephant!
Annnnnnnnnd the award for total grossest gift goes to the shoes with condiments on them. Like, what?

NBCRightNow.com -- The state's Department of Social and Health Services' Economic Service Administration said private information of possibly 7,000 households may be in the wrong hands after a coding error caused ESA letters to be mailed to clients' previous addresses.
The ESA discovered the error in October and they said they are worried that some of the letters that went to the wrong households may contain private health information.
They also said some letters may include social security numbers, employment or earnings information, and what public assistance services the client is receiving.
All letters were sent in envelopes marked "return service requested", but the DSHS doesn't know how many letters were returned from wrong addresses.
The department is still trying to find out what caused the error; they will notify clients whose credit or identity may be at risk.

Servant Girl Annihilator
May Day
Six months had gone by, and no one suspected a predatory killer on the loose. Stapleton points out that the city, with a population of 23,000, was recovering from the Reconstruction Era and was attracting people from all over to work in the area. Numerous convicts were employed as well to help with public buildings. There were lots of strangers in town, and many of them frequented the public houses and taverns. A killer could move among them, undetected.
On Wednesday, May 6, he seemed to have struck again. The victim's name was Eliza Shelley (Hollandsworth spells it "Shelly"), and she, too, had been a black servant. Her battered body was found lying on the corner of Jacinto and Cypress Streets. The newspaper, aligned with other major papers of that era in seeking sensational and lurid events to report, mentioned what her murder and her occupation had in common with Mollie Smith's situation, and that reporter's observations would eventually earn the killer a nickname: "the Servant Girl Annihilator."
"The Foul Fiends," ran the Statesman's headlines that day, "Keep up Their Wicked Work." They had performed yet another "Deed of Deviltry" in the "Crimson Catalog of Crime."
The victim was found on the property of Dr. L.B. Johnson, a former state legislator who lived with his wife and niece near the railway track. Behind his house was a cabin in which Eliza Shelley had resided with her three children. For more than a month, she had been the Johnson family's cook. Mrs. Johnson had heard screams coming from Eliza's cabin, and had sent her niece to check on the children. She returned to report a ghastly sight, which Mrs. Johnson in turn told her husband.
He found 30-year-old Eliza Shelley on the floor, dead. She had been wounded in the head with the punctures of a sharp implement, as well as a gash that appeared to have been made by an ax. The killer had hit her so hard that the weapon had gone deep into her brain, and as Hollandsworth describes, had cleaved her skull nearly in two. Blood-covered pillows indicated that she had been attacked while asleep in bed and was then dragged to the floor, onto a pile of blankets. Because her nightdress was pulled up and her nude body oddly elevated, exposing her, it was surmised that she had been sexually assaulted as well. The weapon, whatever it was, had been taken. A set of large broad footprints coming to the cottage and leaving indicated that a shoeless male had done this deed. But Eliza's husband was in prison and she had never been known to entertain other men.
Eliza's eight-year-old son spoke to a reporter and described a man entering the cabin in the middle of the night. The boy woke up and the man shoved him into a corner, placed a blanket over him, and ordered him to be quiet. He apparently fell asleep (or was treated to chloroform that recently had been stolen from a dentist's home in Austin), because he had no idea what had happened to his mother until he saw her the following morning. His younger brothers, who slept in the same bed with their mother, were unable to add anything to the report.
Again, the bloodhounds were sent for, and again, the dogs came up short. Nevertheless, Marshal Lee quickly arrested a 19-year-old boy, who was walking around barefoot and was sufficiently dull-witted not to protest strongly. The tracks were measured to compare against his, but it soon became clear that he was not the person who made them. It wasn't long before he, too, was released because of lack of evidence. Then another black man who once had lived with the victim was arrested. He'd recently quarreled with her and had no alibi. But he, too, was innocent, and this became clear when another violent attack occurred in the area.
