Voltaren (diclofenac) belongs to the class of drugs known as NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). NSAIDs are commonly prescribed to treat arthritis. The brand name version, Voltaren, which was manufactured by Novartis, was FDA-approved in 1988.
What is the availability of diclofenac?
Diclofenac is available as an immediate-release tablet, liquid-filled capsule, and an extended-release tablet taken orally (by mouth). Diclofenac immediate-release tablets and capsules are available in 50 mg. and 75 mg. strength. Diclofenac extended-release tablets are available in 100 mg. strength.
When is diclofenac prescribed?
Diclofenac is prescribed for relief of the signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis, relief of the signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, and for acute or long-term use to relieve signs and symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis.
Diclofenac, like all other NSAIDs, have anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. The mechanism of action is thought to be related to the inhibition of prostaglandins which are involved in inflammation.
Are there any special instructions regarding how to take diclofenac?
Usually, directions suggest taking NSAIDs with food to decrease the risk of gastrointestinal problems, but diclofenac is available as an enteric-coated tablet. The enteric coating helps protect the stomach. Therefore, taking diclofenac with food is not mandatory.
Patients are advised to take the lowest effective dose of diclofenac for the shortest duration possible. Some patients will be treated with the drug longterm. Your doctor will adjust dose and frequency to meet your needs. The recommended dose for osteoarthritis is 100-150 mg. per day taken as 50 mg. two or three times a day, or 75 mg. twice a day. The recommended dose for rheumatoid arthritis is 150-200 mg per day, taken as 50 mg. three or four times a day, or 75 mg. twice a day. For ankylosing spondylitis, 100-125 mg per day is recommended, taken as 25 mg. four times a day with an additional 25 mg. dose at bedtime if needed.
What side effects can occur with diclofenac?
Common side effects associated with diclofenac include: diarrhea, constipation, gas or bloating, headache, dizziness, and ringing in the ears. If these side effects are bothersome and do not go away, call your doctor.
Side effects that may be more severe and warrant an immediate call to your doctor include: weight gain,excessive fatigue, lack of energy, nausea, loss of appetite, itching, stomach pain (especially upper right part), skin or eye yellowing, flu-like symptoms, fever, rash, hives, swelling of eyes face, tongue, lips, throat, or upper/lower extremities, difficulty breathing, difficulty swallowing, hoarseness, pale skin, rapid heartbeat, cloudy or discolored urine, back pain, or painful urination. The side effects listed are not exclusive. If you have any unusual occurrence while taking diclofenac, call your doctor.
What special warnings and precautions are associated with diclofenac?
Diclofenac, as is the case with all non-aspirin NSAIDs, may be associated with increased risk of serious cardiovascular side effects, such as heart attack or stroke, which may result in hospitalization or death. Diclofenac, like all NSAIDs, can cause gastrointestinal side effects, such as bleeding and ulcers. The scary part is that the gastrointestinal complications can occur without warning. Rarely, diclofenac can be associated with serious skin side effects including Stevens-Johnson syndrome, exfoliative dermatitis, and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis which can result in hospitalization and death. Anaphylactic reactions are also possible. Patients should be aware that the serious side effects are possible and be aware of unusual symptoms.
Are there drug interactions associated with diclofenac?
Be sure to tell your doctor about all drugs and supplements you take. Drug interactions can occur with diclofenac and the following drugs: aspirin, methotrexate, cylosporine, ACE inhibitors, furosemide, lithium, warfarin, and CYP2C9 inhibitors.
Are there special instructions for pregnant or nursing women?
Use of diclofenac is not recommended during pregnancy or while nursing.

ESTERO: Two men broke into an Estero home Wednesday afternoon, but the residents weren't cooperative while deputies were trying to piece together the crime.
It started around 5 p.m. when a witness reported a black male a white male, who only had one shoe on, running scared down Sandy Lane towards Corkscrew Road.
Another witness saw them get into a black vehicle on Groveline Court and speed away.
Deputies traced the start of the incident to a home on Fruitful Drive.
Jeremy Baker, 20, said he was in his house when he heard a knock at the door. He didn't recognize the men, but cracked the door open to see what they wanted, according to the incident report.
The men forced their way inside and chased Baker to a bedroom.
Baker grabbed a shotgun, according to the report, and struggled with the two men before the black male fired a handgun he had.
The men then fled.
Baker refused to let detectives into his home to investigate the crime and wanted deputies to leave, according to the report.
He and his live-in girlfriend, 24-year-old Arielle Burchill, said they just wanted "this over with" and said they were leaving for California anyway.
Nothing was stolen and no one was injured in the incident.

Purpose of Barricades
Barricades can be a lifesaver, they simply save lives by their presence. One of the main and most important applications for barricades are blocking people and cars from entering certain areas. Crowd control is another way barricades are used.
How to Buy Crowd Control Barricades
Used by companies and organizations, crowd control barricades are primarily set up to ensure the crowd's safety and to maintain control during events. Follow these steps to buy barricades that will suit your needs.
What Are Galvanized Barricades?
Corrosion is the destructive result of the chemical reaction between a metal and its environment.
Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD)
PDF format - Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD)
2009 Edition, dated December 2009, U.S. Department of Transporation - Federal Highway Administration
Barricades, also called barriers, are used for crowd control, traffic control, and event management. You'll find them at airports, construction sites, highways, and road ways. They are usually made of plastic, and are mostly for temporary applications. Some have the ability to interlock and become a solid, continuous safety perimeter. Traffic control barriers are designed with the goal of preventing passage into a protected or hazardous area. Some of the larger traffic barriers are water-filled and can be safety stabilized by filling a ballast with water to make the barrier heavier to withstand wind and bad weather. These heavier barriers prevent forcible passage by a vehicle and/or direct traffic safely through high-speed work zones. To further enhance safety and visibility, some traffic barriers can be equipped with high-intensity reflective sheeting and signage.
Portable plastic barricades
are ideal for small jobs or short-term projects that often can't justify the high cost of concrete barriers. In these cases, plastic barriers save time and costs, because they can be moved with easily – no trucks or cranes are needed.
Portable barriers
are also re-usable in a number of different applications (traffic control, crowd control, special events, security).
Metal crowd control barricades
, sometimes called bike rack barricades, crowd control barriers, or police barricades, are designed for crowd control and/or crowd direction at public events. Metal barricades are frequently used at sporting events, parades, political rallies, demonstrations, and outdoor festivals. Event organizers, venue managers, and security personnel use barricades as part of their crowd management planning. Crowd control barriers act as both a physical and psychological barrier, used to delineate "no access" zones, and to designate space for lines. They are also used by riot police to control large gatherings and at outdoor concerts to separate the stage "pit" from the crowd.
Crowd control barricades are most commonly made of galvanized steel, although lighter-weight plastic variations made of ecological and recyclable polypropylene are being used more frequently due to their stackability, easy storage, and no-rust factor. Some even have the ability to
display graphics and signage
via a highly visible large advertising panel and are compatible with flying flags, lights, and stanchions. Other options include the ability to be customized to have a functioning gate that swings on the attachment hinge, which is useful for corralling dogs. Certain indoor situations require redirecting traffic from unsafe and hazardous conditions for which there are
expandable barricades
Barriers are most effective when they interlock, being attached to each other in a line via hooks or pins at the side of each barricade. When barricades are interlocked, they become a one-piece continuous enclosure in which security personnel can use to create impenetrable lines, because such lines of barriers will not likely be able to be toppled over or broken through.
We offer a full spectrum of barriers and barricades, in both metal and plastic, ranging from
FAA approved low profile ramp and airfield barricades
to large
federally-accepted traffic control barricades
steel barricade trailers
for barricade transport and storage. We also offer a complete range of crowd control products such as retractable belt stanchions and traffic control equipment.

Atmosphere - it's like a Belgian Monastary, but with a few twists. There are all types of Belgian beer signs, and a giant touch screen beer explorer. Stained glass is on certain walls and arches, and the place is poorly lit, even by bar standards. Nice big booths, and a lot of tables and chairs in the front room.
Quality - Great.
Service - usually quick, and with good recommendations. There are a lot of unique Belgian beers here and knowing which bottles are good is very helpful (tap beers too).
Selection - It is extremely unusual to see so many great Belgian beers on tap.
Value - $7 for a beer is a lot, but they are all great imported Belgians so that is a fair price. I'd say the bottles go a little high, with bombers and 750 mls, but normal mark-ups.

Came into the Red Monk after enjoying a brew from the basement bar (The Royal Mile) and asking around about where the location of the Red Monk was! Signage was very limited for this beer bar but there were two sets of stairs to come up to this belgian jem. Didn't spend much time inside but can review it based on the great experience I had!
Walking up the wooden stairs from the Royal Mile, you are introduced to a kitchen on the left and the bar straight ahead. There are stain glass windows with Westmalle, Orval, Chimay, and others branded on the colored glass. Wooden tables and very neat all around. Very easy going beer bar but nothing too wild about it... Selection blew my mind from a distance though!
Quality and service went hand in hand here but were very good. Was given a beer list on request and while she didn't have the prices memorized, she looked them up in the computer for me. The price for each beer the only thing they needed to add on their beer list... Some beers may have been overpriced since they didn't list these.
The selection was VERY good! I ordered a Boulevard Love Child #2, which I have never seen in a beer bar yet. There was also a Lips of Faith, Delirium, and many other Belgians on-tap. Their bottle list was the most incredible part and many visible in the cooler they had behind the bar.
I suggest starting out at the Royal Mile or checking out what music they have outside (if your here on a weekend night) before coming up to the Red Monk. Trust me, it will still be waiting here for you.

As you go upstairs from the Mile you see additional restaurant space with similar motif. But towards the end of the room is a wall with gothic-style stained glass windows with a smaller bar area beyond. Introducing the Red Monk. A beer bar that focuses on Belgian beers and others that are Belgian style or heavier than the norm. It can be summed up as "they have delirium tremens on tap!" They even had tulip glasses to ensure you get the full bouquet of the beer. The bartender was knowledgeable about the beer menu and was s good server. My only beef is the music getting unnecessarily loud after 7. So sitting in the area by the stairs is a good balance. You are able to get the Royal Mile's food menu and beer from both places. If the Miles is a bit crowed and loud, take a walk upstairs for a good beer experience.

Walked into the Royal Mile, was directed up the steps to the bar. It was 8:35pm on a Saturday night and there was no one there. The selection was resonate from John's Grocery, only a few things tht John's may not have had anymore. Their beer selection was good, expecially for Iowa, however they had only 4 types of glasses: St. Bernardus, Orval, and Duinin....along with a pathetic little glass they have many of to give to people to use. The theme of the bar was definetly kinda Belgian, there are what appears to be mythical birds holding lights in their beaks. The lights are swining I found out after leaning back in my chair and bumping one. Nice atmosphere, but after 10pm the place started to pack with Miller Lite/mixed drinkers. There were still some people who ordered the Belgians, there were just Miller/mixed drinkers too. My Lambic was very nice, I have never had a chilled lambic, but it warmed up after a couple of hours and I finished it. Very nice. Another bothersome thing to me was that the older couples (2) next to me had ordered a giant Guldan Draak, one gentleman asked me if I would trade some of my beer for some of his. We traded and I noticed right away in the smell it was very boozey and nothing like any Guldan Draak I had ever had before. It was like drinking alcohol flavored with cardboard, they did keep in in th fridge (probably for over a year). Perhaps the seal dried, causing so much oxidation. I notice they also have over 1/3 mark up. Nice. I should've expected less because it was Iowa, but I expected it to be like Chicago or Wisconson. Still the best of Iowa is not the best of the beer scene.

The Red Monk is located in the same building as the Royal Mile. Except it's on the second floor and doesn't open until around 8pm.
After you ascend the many stairs..the atmosphere upstairs is very dark, low lighting, like an old candle-lit monestary (I'm assuming that's the look they were going for). Additional stained glass windows make it look gothic and add to the authenticity..
Six Belgians on-tap when I was there. St. Bernardus 12 & Tripel, Delirium Tremens, La Binchoise, Gulden Draak, and I can't recall the other one at the moment.
I asked about a couple beers on their menu, and they were out of them both unfortunately. As far as the service, the bartender seemed to know enough, but with a slight arrogance that everyone in the group I was with noticed. He seemed to be mildly annoyed even by our casual chit-chat, but no big deal. Since the place is quite small (bar maybe seats 8-10), it's a pretty cozy atmosphere.
This is the best Belgian bar in the state. I don't really think you can argue against that.. however, the Lava Lounge in Waterloo is a fairly close second. Essentially the same tap rotations..both have St. Bernardus 12, Delirium, La Binchoise, Gulden Draak, Piraat, etc. Bottle selection is a bit better at The Red Monk, though.
Overall, it's obviously a great place to stop if you want to try some fantastic Belgian beer. Since there are some great British beers just downstairs, you can kill two birds with one stone.

I want to love this place.
Every time I've been the music has been too loud and louts have been crowding the bar.
Caters to the Belgian import crowd, or would if any erudite student of beer could get close to the bar. Chimay, Westmalle and Orval stained-glass as you walk in; the marketing inside the doors is more along the mainstream lines: Chimay again, Piraat, Lindeman's.
Good selection, some holes to fill. St. B 12 on tap is a two-thumbs up plus, although 1664 is a two-thumbs down minus (a weak Frenchie in a Belgian beer pub?) Also, putting Westvleteran on the beer menu (albeit with the "subject to availability" qualification) is a bit pretentious, esp. when the barkeep told me he hadn't seen it in "a few months."
Decent lambic selection, but where are the Cantillon?
Awesome place to visit, more than recommended if you're from the area or just passing through. No beer to go is a bummer, but if you are in need of a solid import bar with a good selection of cold Belgians, stop right in.
Update, first of September '06: still loud, still a packed bar. Nice tap rotation, throwing in the Tripel, Binchoise and Gulden Draak. How long has the St. Bernie's 12 been there though?
One huge complaint I had the first time but forgot to mention: Bottles are EXTREMELY cold. I want my Bud Light to be icy, but most of the beers in that fridge will recommend 45 degrees or higher as their serving temperature. Rough estimate is that these fine, fine Belgian ales are served below 40 degrees.
*Update 2* October '08: Smoking ban = awesome for this place. The atmosphere was much better than in the past, and my bottle wasn't AS cold as I remember. Taps - meh. Seem to be phasing out the challenging beers and putting in easier to drink ales. Local John's White Ale is cool, a New Belgium is acceptable once in a while, but this is getting to be the norm.

I've been wanting to make a trip to this Belgian haven since it opened. It's upstairs above the Royal Mile, and not very big, which is fine. The entrance to the bar area has monestary-like window, with stained glass and Orval, Westmalle, and Chimay logos. There's a few tables and booths, it's kind of dim lit overall. I didn't really like the loud music they played from the jukebox, it made it harder to have a conversation. Also I would like to see this sort of place be non-smoking.
The bartender was friendly, but I'm not sure how much he really knew about the beers. The one thing he did know was that they were out of most of the ones I was trying to order. Some of the best: St Bernardus 12, Rochefort 10, and 8, were all listed on the menu, but not in stock. I settled for a St Bernardus Tripel. They had a few taps, Delirium Tremens, John's Beglian White, and couple others. The cooler was stocked full of different bottles, a few of which you don't see at many liquor stores in the area.
Overall it has the best selection of Belgians in the area, but it wasn't exciting enough for me to want to go there often. Alot of smoke and loud music. People will literally go there because they hear that St Bernardus 12 is on tap, so may disappoint a bit when its not. Great place for Iowa though...

The Red Monk is a small bar tucked next to a restaurant upstairs from a bar. Sounds rather complicated...
Anyway, the Royal Mile used to have the entire upstairs as a restaurant and the downstairs as a bar. Now, the upstairs is split in half with the Red Monk taking up half of the space.
The beer selection at the Red Monk is the finest in Iowa, bar none, especially if you like Belgians. They have the standard selection of trappist and abbey-style ales plus a few other strong Belgians. Beers are at least served in tulips. Some beers (ie, Chimay and Orval at least) are served in authentic glasses. There are only a few taps (4 I think) but they usually have excellent beers in the taps.
The bar tenders tend to know their stuff and can describe most of the beers if you haven't had them before. They can also recommend things if they happen to be out of something. They really seem passionate about the beer and sharing what good beer is with other people.
The bar doesn't open until 9 despite the fact that the restaurant and downstairs bar are open earlier.
Prices are very reasonable for what they have to go through in Iowa to get such fine beers.
My biggest complaint with the place is that it seems to attract an above average number of heavy-duty smokers. The room is entirely too small for the amount of smoke typically present. Perhaps I have just become spoiled by drinking without smokers, but the Red Monk seems pretty bad. The last time I was there, my eyes were watering even after we opened the window. It makes it even more of a shame that you can't order their wonderful beer while eating in the non-smoking restaurant section.

This can be better understood踩踩 0ن½œè€…ï¼ڑcharlesdh هڈ'è،¨و—¥وœںï¼ڑ2013-06-24 ه¤چهˆ¶é"¾وژ¥ و"¶è—ڈ
The best thing is anyone can have love and affection of other peoples as long as he loves other people. Love and affection is not only available with human beings it is also available in animals. Love and affection only makes this world a meaningful place to live. Assume a situation where no people show affection and love towards others. In such situation all of our life will become a hell. This can be better understood by the following example.If we look at the sky on a perfectly fine summers day we shall find that the blue colour is the most pure and intense prada bags that all three are important, but that of the three, engagement and meaning make the most difference to living a happy life.
As I write to you now, I know that when you are back next week Ill probably tell you how much I love you and this letter may just seem superfluous. Please know that when you read it in the fifth, tenth or thirtieth year of our marriage, I love you then as I love you today when our marriage is a full year old, and we are miles apart on our first wedding anniversary.Life becomes hell without love and affection. Love is one of the hidden treasures of our life.We are fortunate enough to live in a lovely world. Many of us would die without love and affection of other peoples. There is no thing in this world is stable except the prada sale love.

Anthony Tolliver anyone????
I think he's a free agent. Not sure what he's looking for contract wise... I just don't see Deandre Jordan progressing as much as we expected. If Anthony Tolliver can be had at the 2-4 million per year range, I think he would be a great pick up to back up either Griffin or Kaman.

Thomas R. Horgan: Students should not let debt scare them away from college
The New Hampshire College & University Council is a nonprofit consortium of our state's public and private colleges and universities working together to reduce costs and share resources. One program we promote in partnership with the New Hampshire Department of Education is NH Scholars, which encourages high school students to take rigorous academic courses in high school so they will be prepared to do college-level work or go into the workplace. Fully 87 percent of NH Scholars head to college entirely because they took more challenging classes in high school. Being better prepared academically helps increase student access to higher education. Keeping federal student loan interest rates low is another important avenue to higher education access.

Hello Silver and Black Pride! It's almost over, but the 2010 season has been nothing if not full of surprises. Some good, some not so good. I know Raiders fans are disappointed to a degree, yet encouraged as well by the improved showing of the Raiders this year, and make no mistake, the Raiders are an AFC West team on the rise. With McFadden, Ford and others, Oakland is a team to be reckoned with.
The Chiefs are also a team on the rise, and have risen faster and further than nearly any Chiefs fan had dared hope. With the division and playoff berth clinched, the only thing left to decide for the Chiefs is playoff seeding, will they be #3 or #4? A win against the Raiders locks up the #3 seed and a home game against (miost likely) the Jets. A loss, coupled with a win by the Colts, and the Chiefs fall to the #4 seed and a likely matchup against the Ravens.
The other thing to be decided is: will the Raiders become the first AFC West team to sweep the division? The Raiders have, so far, done the unthinkable and stand at 5-0 against the Chiefs, Chargers and Broncos. A win Sunday on the road would be an interesting talking point, at least, for the next few months.
Have some questions about the Chiefs? Fire at will, and looking forward to a fun, hard-fought game next Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. May the best team win!

Now that i got your attention, i'm wondering whats been going on lately about the heats supposed "code". First we are linked to a serbian douchebag and asinine teammate (milicic and blatche). Which does not fit the suppose code of our great president and our organization. Having passed on guys like carter , mcgrady because they didn't fit the bill of what the organization is about, it seems like there is a double standard.
The reason why i say this is because this fits into what is being reported out of the AAA that juwan howard is training there. Don't get me wrong i love juwan but other than to waive a towel, play the last 30 seconds, or tell grandpa stories i don't want him on this team. He does not serve a purpose at all, we gave him the ring he was so badly after, and its not like this team has no playoffs or championship experience.
I know that looking at the big picture it might not mean much, but i care about every single prospect and i actually look for the best opportunities for the roster. In my opinion that spot should be for vanardo, gladness, or hamilton before he left or simply by a free agent.

A: Golden yellow with off white head. Good retention and some lacing.
S: Tangerines mainly. Pine and spicy hops with pineapple and a bit of mango. Some sweet malt in the back.
T: Grapefruit pineapple bite upfront. A very brief presentation of a sweet peach and malt flavor. Pine, spicy hop, and a touch of alcohol in the back end.
M: Medium bodied with medium-light carbonation. Carbonation is fine. Drying.
O: I'm pretty sure this beer is a bit older than I would like but it held up nicely.

Thanks to APreacher for the bottle!
22 oz bottle pulled from the fridge and poured into a snifter. No freshness info. I too think there was some sort of labeling error as I at first thought this was the Winter (rye) Ale, but this is definatly an IPA.
Pours out a slightly hazy deep golden orange color with a very nice white head that shows some great retention and leaves quite a bit of sticky lace stuck to the glass.
Very nice aroma. Dank, pungent hops, smells like maybe some Nelson was used. Vegetal, juicy tropical fruits, candied citrus.
Loving this beer. Reminds me a little bit of Nelson from alpine and a little bit of nugget nectar. Juicy, dank, resinous. Juicy tropical fruits, a bit vegetal and onion, but totally in a good way, sweet citrus, a little pine needle, maybe some fresh sticky weed. Again, tastes just like Nelson hops were used with maybe a bit of citra? Malt isn't too noticeable, maybe just enough for the hops to play off of.
Finishes really clean and drink rather smoothly with a lot of bitterness that lingers. A bit sticky in the mouthfrom all the hops, medium bodied, almost feels a bit light and airy from a slightly higher than normal carbonation.
Im very impressed with this beer. Smells and tastes like a handful of fresh hop cones. If this was available to me, I'd come back to it again and again. Trade for this now!

Poured from a bomber into a pint glass in high elevation Libby, Mont. Reviewed live. No bottled-by date readily apparent. Got this bottle up in Montana from my buddy Kojevergas. I confused it with the Winter Rye Ale.
A- Thick one-finger white head. Middling retention. Nice white lacing and orange body with high clarity.
S- Floral hops, orange blossom, rye and other floral notes.
T- Bitter-sweet. Well developed, floral and flighty. I enjoy this taste very much.
M- Medium-bodied, smooth and wet.
O- Well-received. I like this beer quite a bit. Extremely drinkable DIPA.

[Poured into a generic pint glass]
I: When I see a bottle from Kern, I usually pick one up without much thought taking into account that they are kind of a rare beer at the store. While I've never been impressed by their brews, I'm usually satisfied. Here's to hoping to be impressed by their Winter Ale. [Update]: I believe there was a labeling error(it has the Winter Rye Ale) and instead got the 5th anniversary winter ale. Appearance and taste do not reflect the label on my bottle based on other descriptions.
B: [8.00% ABV 1 Pint 6 FL OZ 2013 Bottle] This isn't the most attention grabbing bottle by them I've seen. That said, it has winter written all over it(snow and flakes). Label is missing that glossy feel that I've come across in previous brews. As for info, the label leaves much to be desired. No back story, abv, brief description other than winter ale, etc.. Overall it's not the shelf worthy at this point, unless it can amaze during my taste.
A: Orange transparent body with a bubbly white head that settles into a thin layer of cream(slow dissipation), and good lacing.
S: Orange citrus and cascade hops.
T: Loads a big spicy citrus(enhanced by carbonation as well) with slight creamy sweet malt, slight sour lemon zest,orange, and grapefruit.
M: slick/crisp finish, medium body, medium carbonation, and little apparent alcohol.
O: Very tasty and drinkable DIPA with great citrus presence. There's no going wrong with picking up a bottle of this stuff. While I'm confident that my bottle is the 5th Anniversary Winter Ale IPA, I can't be 100% sure do to a mislabel. Whatever it is, I could drink it all day. I would recommend and buy again.

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - A mental competency hearing is scheduled Monday for a woman accused of fatally shooting her ex-lover inside his Imperial Beach apartment after stalking and harassing him for a year.
Vegas Bray faces 50 years to life in prison if convicted of murder in the death of 31-year-old Victor Saucedo. At Bray's arraignment last year, prosecutor Harrison Kennedy called the killing "the ultimate act of obsession."
During a preliminary hearing in April, Bray shouted that she was not jealous of the victim and didn't remember shooting him.
Judge Ana Espana granted a defense request to have the defendant evaluated to see if she understands the charges against her and can assist her attorney at trial.
The prosecutor said Bray and Saucedo met while they were both in the Navy and started dating in 2010. The relationship lasted for several months and ended toward the later part of 2011.
He said the couple broke up because the defendant was jealous of the mother of Saucedo's child, and she continued to pursue him after they broke up.
Bray, 24, committed seven acts of vandalism against Saucedo's car and apartment, including popping his car tires, smearing peanut butter on his door, and even tracking him down after he changed apartments, the prosecutor alleged.
Last Oct. 15, the couple had some "social interaction" in which there was talk of rekindling the relationship, but Saucedo said he wasn't interested in the long-term relationship Bray wanted, Kennedy said. Bray felt "spurned" and left the victim's apartment the next morning, the prosecutor said.
Around 3:30 p.m. on Oct. 16, Bray returned to Saucedo's apartment armed with a .38-caliber revolver and minutes later, neighbors reported hearing a series of gunshots, Kennedy said.
Bray called 911, indicating Saucedo had committed suicide, but investigators found the victim with nine gunshot wounds and a loaded gun next to him.

Police have arrested one person for a shooting in Triana and are searching for two more.
Officials charged 40-year-old Gary C. Grays with one count of attempted murder. He was booked in the Metro jail on a $60,000 bond.
Triana, Madison Police and Madison County Sheriff's deputies responded to the scene at 225 Zierdt Road Monday night. Investigators said Demetrius Cosby was shot in the chest.
Madison County Sheriff's Office has taken over the investigation. Investigators believe the shooting was sparked by a confrontation prior to the incident.
Cosby was taken to Huntsville Hospital by MedFlight. Officials said he is expected to be okay.
Madison County Sheriff's Investigators are still searching for 25-year-old Brandon O'Neal Grays and 40-year-old Mashan Roman Vaughn.
Madison Police are assisting in the investigation. Brandon Grays and Vaughn are believed to still be in the Huntsville area.

yes i know its kind of early to be concerned with the draft as our season isn't even over yet but all these mock drafts coming out recently have got me thinking. We need a pass rush desperately. If rex can win the superbowl with the pass rushers he has he deserves a contract for life. Saying that i think we need to do what we do in the draft an get Von miller even if we have to move up for him.
Id like to know your opinion on our draft.

New York police want to talk to him, but the Canadian rapper Drake has no plans to turn himself in for questioning about the nightclub brawl involving singer Chris Brown that left a bevy of clubgoers bruised and bloodied.
"Why would he turn himself in when he did not commit any wrongdoing?" Drake's rep, Kelly Bush, told the New York Post on Sunday in an email.
But law-enforcement sources said detectives trying to get to the bottom of the early-Thursday melee at the W.i.P. nightclub in SoHo want to question everyone in the hot spot before and after the fight.
That includes the hot-headed hip-hop artist, 25, who several witnesses have already said hurled a liquor bottle at love rival Brown and his posse.
Law-enforcement sources said cops were days away from arresting anyone in the brawl but noted that Drake could be slapped with charges ranging from reckless endangerment to rioting if it is determined that he threw the bottle.
If he does not come in for questioning, he could be arrested, sources said. "There's a lot of people in that club who left. [The cops] want to talk to everyone in the club even if they left before that incident," one source said.
Police Commissioner Ray Kelly told the Post on Sunday that authorities are still sorting out what happened.
"The detectives are looking at it and investigating it, and if an arrest is appropriate, an arrest is going to be made," Kelly said. "When detectives got there, no one was there. Eight people were injured. The place was in disarray. They're gathering information."
The rivals and their crews reportedly got into a beef over singer Rihanna, 24, who has dated Brown, 23, but lately been hooking up with Drake.
Rihanna consoled herself a day after the drunken brawl by getting a new tattoo at her favorite ink haunt, Bang Bang Tattoos, on the Lower East Side on Friday. It is of an Egyptian falcon shaped like a gun.
Cops shuttered the club Saturday, as Drake -- a Canadian whose full name is Aubrey Drake Graham -- performed at Jones Beach.
Brown -- still on probation for beating up Rihanna in February 2009 -- has already spoken to police.

From BeerAdvocate magazine Issue #64 (May 2012):
LOOK: Brilliant gold, impressive lacing
SMELL: Grassy, biscuity, doughy, nutty, faint malt sweetness, floral, clean
TASTE: Smooth, moderate body, pale malt, Grape Nuts, grassy, taffy, floral, mild hop bitterness, yeast, clean; dry, grainy finish
Extremely well balanced, perhaps the best lager out of Canada to meet our lips to date. The drinkability scale is showing off the charts. Pit this up blindly against a fine German lager, and we'd have a tough time picking which one is from Canada.

Yellowhead Brewing Company has set up shop in the old Maverick brewery in downtown Edmonton, the one with the big glass windows showing the shiny vats to passerby on 105th street. What was good then, is good now - a small, downtown, walkable location, independent, with a reputable Euro-style brewer. However, they've kept the same target market - lagers - that had to play into Maverick's problems in the recent past. Everything feels so familiar about the whole thing, but the hosts at their tasting room this afternoon were quite friendly and informative, and you can buy cold half-litre bottles of their current sole offering at said location...
This beer pours a clear medium golden hue, with three fingers of thick soapy lily-white head, which leaves some cirrus layers of lace around the glass as it recedes in due time. It smells of biscuit and bready malt, and some mild grassy/floral hops. The taste is bready, grainy malt, some very subtle lemon citrus, and grassy, straw-like hops. The carbonation is quite soft, the body moderately weighted, smooth, a bit unctuous, and a tad creamy. It finishes dry, clean, and with a mild essence of floral hops.
A mild, but well-balanced and flavourful German-style bright lager. I'm looking forward to trying it on tap this summer.

from notes last summer at a restaurant in Edmonton
A - clear golden copper, showed up with head having settled at a thin covering with some random lacing
S - biscuity malt with faint adjunct aroma, mildly pepper and herbal
T - bready grains, straw, some very mild citrus, generally a run of the mill lager flavour
M - light with gentle carbonation, a down the gullet type feel which I suppose it the point
O - always glad to see a new local brewer, this one seems to be made for the average Joe beer drinker, and while I am an average Joe in general, I am not when it comes to beer, so I have to rate it average overall

Big off-white head atop a clear coppery coloured body. decent retention and some sticky lacing left behind.
Aroma comes across somewhat soapy at first, but seems to separate to a bready malt with a healthy dose of citric hops.
Tastes of crackery/biscuity malt, with some caramel in the middle that seems to grow in influence with each sip. Becomes quite sweet for a lager, hops come across as a light herbal impression at the finish.
Fairly full bodied and a little sticky feeling, with healthy carbonation. A touch heavier than I'd suggest for the style.
Not a bad beer, a little fuller and sweeter than I prefer for a session lager.

Bottle: Poured a golden color ale with a relatively large white foamy head with OK retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of lightly sweet malt with clean cereal notes is refreshing. Taste is also dominated by clean cereal taste with lightly sweet ending. Body is quite full with good carbonation. Not bad but lacking fresher cereal notes and maybe some light crisp hops.

The first time I had this beer, I distinctly remember it being among the worst I had ever had. Apparently my BA colleagues disagree, so I'm giving it another try.
It pours a dark golden/medium amber colour with a nice thin foamy head.
The aroma is distinctly sweet and has hints of caramel and spice. Notes of vanilla toasted grain float around in the background.
The taste is rich and toasty with some nice hints of popcorn and vanilla/marshmallow. There is some faint grassy hops, but this beer is mostly about the malt character.
Overall, this is WAY better than I remember. I might have to make this a regular part of my beer fridge! My first bottle must have been bad. Or perhaps they hadn't figured things out when the brewery was just getting started. Glad that there's another quality beer in E-town.

From a 500 ml brown bottle. Pours out a clear golden hue, tall creamy white head.
Clean biscuit malt on the nose, faint spicy hops in the background.
Things bottom out in the flavour. Flat grainy malt offers no backbone whatsoever for the otherwise adequate spicy hops, it just doesn't pull together.
Slick, thin mouthfeel, low carbonation, not much body.
Underwhelming, it has room to grow if they work out the kinks, however for now I have no desire to have another one of these.

Visited the Brewery / tasting room in Edmonton. Unfortunately they had just sold their last available bottle, so none to take home, but still got to enjoy a fresh tapped version.
Clear, dark golden color, foam settled quickly to a thin floating cap, thin stringy lace.
Smell of fresh, biscuit malt, some slight herbal grassiness. Taste started with the same light grains, good overall lager flavors, hint of lemon at the end.
Light body, good carbonation, refreshing and easy to drink.
Nothing spectacular, but nicely done. Looks like they are going the Steam Whistle route and sticking with just one beer.
I will look for it again next time I am in Edmonton.

At least as far as Alberta microbreweries are concerned, Yellowhead produces by far the best lager. Now granted, the Alberta scene isn't nearly as big as some other provinces, let alone that of the U.S, but for a locally produced lager, Yellowhead is heads and shoulders above it's competition.
Lager's personally aren't my favorite style, but it's hard to be a pint of Yellowhead premium lager on the rare occasion Edmonton has a hot day. For the best quality, stop by the brewery downtown and fill up a growler; it's cheap, environmentally friendly, and you get the freshest possible product.

Munich Helles? Really? To me, this comes off a lot more like a bohemian pils than a helles. There's a much stronger hop presence, lots more bittering, and a fuller body than something like lowenbrau.
Pours a deep yellow - a few shades darker than the usual german pils - similar in colour to pilsner urquell, exceptionally clear, with a dense, sticky head.
Smells slightly spicy, with an odd malty tang - slight tartness. It carries a strange herbal note that must be hops, but I can't identify it - it's not at all citrusy, more earthy and maybe even a little catty. The same notes is present in the flavour. It finishes with a lingering bitterness. There's very little malt presence in this beer. Other than that tartness I mentioned, there's not really any yeast character to this beer - it's very clean.
Body is medium-full. It's noticeably sticky on the palate, but not at all sweet and certainly not cloying.
It's an interesting beer - definitely not boring, in a style of beer that are usually quite boring. I think I like it.

Poured into a glass mug. Three finger fluffy off white head on a deep golden yellow. Good head retention. Some moderate lacing. Malty smell. Caramel in the taste. Sweetish. Light hop finish. A bit weak. Medium body. Not bad drinkability. No real flaws but the sweetness would get a bit cloying after a while.

Disclaimer - This is not a post about salary cap ramifications and/or breaking down the specifics of Brooks new contract. I wanted to write something about what I think the contract itself along with the way it was handled speaks to the state of the 49ers and their overall philosophy when it comes to managing the roster.
I have always like Ahmad Brooks as a player. I felt that for whatever reason he was buried on the depth chart and destined to never get an opportunity to show his skills and then move on to another team or toil on/near the bottom of the depth chart. He was given an opportunity and seized it. Now he was been rewarded with a new contract this week that could keep him in the San Francisco until 2017. By all reports he potentially took less money to stay in SF and not hit free agency, which speaks volumes as to the state of the 49ers.
I believe that this signing is yet another example of the new 49ers regime making their philosophy very clear to us all. They are going to take care of their own above all others. They are not going to make big splashes into the free agent market. In the past few years they have rewarded the following players with extensions/new deals:
- Joe Staley
- Patrick Willis
- Vernon Davis
- Frank Gore
- Ray McDonald
- Ahmad Brooks
All of these players (with the exception of Brooks) were drafted by San Francisco. I believe that these players represent the core of the team and are prime examples of what the 49ers are trying to do under Baalke. All of these players are "team" first guys that care about winning above all else.
Willis and Davis are the unquestioned heart and soul of the team. They have been here during the bad times and are now veteran leaders on a team with a future as bright as any in the league. There is no question that these two should have long term deal at top dollar.
I beleive that there is a lot of parallels between Davis and Brooks. Both players were brought on board because of their immense potential and ability. Both had a lot of growing up to do once they tasted what the fame and fortune that the NFL can offer. Davisand Brooks have both turned the corner and are now true professionals and are examples to others. These two more so than the others represent players who have not only succeded in exceling on the field but have grown as people off the field. This type of player is at the core of the type of team/family atmosphere the 49ers are building.
The 49ers are becoming a team with such a strong core of leaders that players will have no choice to 100% buy in to what they are striving to acheive. I believe that players will want to come play for San Francisco to be a part of this. All the players above are examples of guys that have come in, worked hard to be successful and have begun to taste the fruits of their labors. But they all realize what it takes to get to where they want to go.
The last two major free agent signings that I can recall are Nate Clements and Justin Smith. Both of these players were signed from other teams by the previous regime. A lot of people were/are not happy with Clements (I for one thought he was good and worth it, but I am in the minority) and Justin Smith is obviously one of the better signings the 49ers have ever had.
I do not expect the 49ers to make a major signing in free agency this year or in any subsequent year for that matter. They have built from the inside out and will continue to supplement the roster with mid tier veterans that fit what the 49ers are doing. I think that getting guys that fit in the locker room is more important than on the field talents.
What this means for Rodgers and Goldson remains to be seen. I think that Rodgers will be presented with a 3 year deal at average money for CB as Baalkefeels that Rodgers is a 49er type of guy. Goldson will be probably be franchised and then probably walk after next year for more money than the 49ers are willing to play.
So more than anything the Brooks contract signifies a clear change in philosophy. The 49ers are committed to taking care of their own and I could not be happier about this.

Hair Productions, a tenant in the Riverside Plaza building that housed the defunct Spoons Restaurant, was booted out. The salon's owner, Barbara Colyar, said after renting there for more than two decades, the Plaza's owners sent two letters this month evicting them by July 31.
Jeff Axtell, a spokesman for the Plaza's owner, Vestar, said they axed Spoon's tenants because the building is "uninhabitable." He wouldn't elaborate, but Colyar said inspectors told her the structure had mold and asbestos problems.
Colyar quickly found a new space at 3735 Jurupa Avenue, Suite H ,where she and she and her five-member staff are now ensconced. They're in good company, co-habiting the strip mall with four other salons and a barber shop. The Productions staff is happy. Manicurist Cheryl Farmer said she loves the new digs because the salon is a big bigger, the AC works and there's more parking.
Read the story later today online and in the business section on Thursday, July 25.

This is my favorite Brandon video:
An underrated decimation of Atlanta on BOTH ends. Shows that before his knees started to go he could be a 2-way player. Everyone forgets that he used to be a decent-good defender, and that's unfortunate.

A tornado warning (SAME code: TOR) is an alert issued by weather services to warn that severe thunderstorms with tornadoes may be imminent. It can be issued after a tornado or funnel cloud has been spotted by eye, or more commonly if there are radar indications of tornado formation. When this happens, the tornado sirens may sound in that area, letting people know that a tornado was seen or is forming nearby. Issuance of a tornado warning indicates that residents should take immediate safety precautions. It is a higher level of alert than a tornado watch, but it can be surpassed by an even higher alert known as a tornado emergency.
The first official tornado forecast (and tornado warning) was made by United States Air Force Capt. (later Col.) Robert C. Miller and Major Ernest Fawbush, on March 25, 1948. The USAF pioneered tornado forecasting and tornado warnings, mainly due to the Weather Bureau's strong discouragement/ban on the use of the word "tornado" in forecasts or statements, fearing that it would cause the public to panic if they predicted tornadoes. In 1950, the Weather Bureau revoked their ban on the word "tornado", thus allowing public tornado warnings.

Wednesday, facing the Red Sox, Blue Jays starter Brandon Morrow got throttled. He allowed eight runs on eight hits in 4-1/3 innings, raising his season ERA to 5.12. That puts him right in between Bronson Arroyo and Brad Penny, which is bad.
Wednesday, Morrow also generated five strikeouts against one walk. The game moved his strikeout rate to 26.4 percent, which puts him between Justin Verlander and Clayton Kershaw. That's good.
Welcome to the Brandon Morrow Absurdity, where a guy can give up a ton of runs despite striking out a quarter of the batters he faces. This has been going on for two seasons, now. Since arriving in Toronto, Morrow has posted a 4.81 ERA and a strikeout rate of 27.3 percent. That ERA ranks 106th out of 128 starting pitchers. That strikeout rate ranks first. Morrow has punched out a greater rate of hitters than any other starter, and he's posted a worse ERA than Jeff Francis.
In other words, Morrow's ERA hasn't matched his peripherals. It's not like his walks or home runs have been out of control. FanGraphs keeps track of a handy stat, here. FanGraphs is the home of FIP, which is a stat that calculates what a pitcher's ERA "ought to be" based on his strikeouts, walks and home runs. Since 2010, Morrow has posted the same FIP as Jon Lester. The difference between his FIP and ERA has been the biggest in baseball.
Now, ordinarily, when we see ERA and peripheral disagreement, we write it off to luck or unsustainability. We don't put too much stock in it. But with Morrow, this hasn't been going on for one season. This has been going on for two seasons, and some people are losing their patience. Some people believe there's something wrong with Morrow that's causing this inequality.
And many of those people have focused on Morrow's pitching with runners on base. Just check out the comments on this FanGraphs post. A few excerpts:
He must have shortcomings/mechanical flaws in his stretch or he starts breaking down mentally after allowing men on. Either way, its not something which will just correct itself; he (and the Jays) are going to have to figure out why he falls apart in those situations.
And he is clearly less effective from the stretch, as mentioned above. It might be fixable, but it has also been a problem for 300 Innings now. His delivery hides the ball quite a bit, so maybe the less deceptive motion from the stretch hurts him?
Morrow is terrible with runners on. I wish I could find his BABIP with runners on; It probably would be extremely high. Not only does he lose deception out of the stretch, but also his location. He loves to groove fastballs down the middle.
It makes some sense. As a Blue Jay, Morrow has allowed a .216 average and a .331 slugging percentage with the bases empty. With runners on, those numbers have risen to .284 and .477, and with runners in scoring position, they've risen more to .305 and .498. Based on that evidence, it certainly looks like Morrow has been falling apart when runners have gotten on base, which would explain the ERA.
It's just that, when you dig deeper, that explanation is unsatisfactory. I'll explain with numbers spanning the 2010-2011 seasons.
Strikeout Rate
Bases Empty: 27.3%
Runners On: 27.4%
w/RISP: 27.8%
Walk Rate
Bases Empty: 10.2%
Runners On: 8.8%
w/RISP: 9.7%
HR/Fly Ball
Bases Empty: 7.5%
Runners On: 10.1%
w/RISP: 9.0%
Morrow's home runs have gone up with men on, but only by a little bit, and not by an extraordinary degree. And one notes that the strikeouts and walks have not declined. If Morrow were truly falling apart with runners on base, we wouldn't expect him to maintain his strikeout and walk rates. We'd expect them to be much worse.
Let's just get to the punchline:
Batting Average on Balls in Play
Bases Empty: .293
Runners On: .367
w/RISP: .400
Line Drive Rate
Bases Empty: 21.8%
Runners On: 19.1%
w/RISP: 19.0%
Morrow has allowed a pretty average BABIP with the bases empty. He's allowed the second-worst BABIP with runners on, and the absolute worse BABIP with runners in scoring position, all without a corresponding increase in line drives.
What does it all point to? That wholly unsatisfying yet frequently accurate conclusion that what we're seeing is pretty much unsustainable noise. Given what position players have done on the mound, you can spare me the argument that Morrow has been up there throwing meatballs at the wrong times. The evidence suggests that it's just been bad luck, and even though it seems weird that bad luck might carry over two seasons, it carries over one season often enough, so why should a second season be that weird? Sometimes these things just need more time to even out. That doesn't mean we need to construct an alternate explanation.
Maybe I'm wrong about all this, but the probability is on my side. Brandon Morrow is a 27-year-old righty with a career 95 ERA+, but Brandon Morrow is also most likely one of the better starting pitchers in the league.
