– Note: MTM will no longer accept same-sex entries in any category.
from the contest rules for the More Than Magic contest hosted by Romance Writers Ink Chapter of RWA
It's taken me several days to be able to write this blog post, and the worst part of it is that my job isn't done with this. As president of the Rainbow Romance Writers, RWA's chapter for LGBT chapter, it's my job to address the situation. I intend to, but I admit, at this point I keep reading that above line and feeling heavy and tired and depressed. I try to tell myself it's because I've been felled by a pretty impressive cold for over a week and that it's what's making me tired. It's a good story, and I wish I could buy it. But the bald truth is that I read that line, and every time it just hurts all over again.
The membership of RRW has been braver than me. Several members have emailed to ask why the change; one member got a reply. She was told it was a hard decision, but some members of the chapter felt "uncomfortable" with same-sex entries. That word keeps resonating too. Uncomfortable.
Well, I have to say, RWI. Discrimination makes me pretty uncomfortable too.
I just can't get over the balls of stating, right there in black and white on a freaking website, "no same-sex entries." No Irish need apply. Whites only. Pick your discriminatory phrase and insert it right there, because they all fit. Does that seem harsh? Probably only if you're not gay or passionate about the rights of LGBT persons.
Here's the truth. LGBT romance is growing more and more every day, but don't let anyone try and delude you it's anywhere but at the more sunlit alleys in the ghetto of the publishing world. Despite our very good sales within our digital-first houses, we aren't even on the map for most New York publishers. Anyone within the genre knows too that LGBT romance gets plenty of flack from LGBT literary. It's the same fight mainstream romance has with the mainstream lit fic genre (much like snotty religions, they don't think they're a genre, just the True Disciples of Book) except LGBT romance gets some nice kicks in the teeth for having straight women in the room. I'd point out a whole hell of a lot of us are bi, but if you know anything about arguments within the alphabet soup, you know that gets a lot of sneers too.
So it's nothing short of a fine slice across the hand to be skimming through places LGBT romances might submit entries for contests, trying to get more exposure and out of the ghetto—this one is for published books and last year an m/m novel won—only to find a big fat NO GAYS sign.
When I asked about this, I was told the board made a ruling on same-sex entries in contests and said basically that chapters could make their own judgments based on genre. The heading of the issue was labeled "same-sex entries in contests," so there's no question this is the clause that made RWI feel they could pop that line I opened with onto their website, sigh in relief, and move on with their day. Make no mistake. RWA national said this is kosher.
Do you?
I don't mind someone reading my novel and disliking it. I don't mind entering a contest and not being chosen. I don't even mind someone seeing that my books have same-sex romances in them and saying that's not what they want to read. But I do mind someone discriminating on principle alone. I do mind someone telling me that I'm a genre one can just skip but not recognizing me as a genre for the RITA awards, making me compete against people who have no idea what a ghetto looks like and how hard it is to get out of one. But to say "here you're a genre, you can't play" and then "here you're not, so have fun with your teaspoon while everyone else gets a backhoe" is not fair. And not right.
It hurts. And it's wearing. I'm supposed to be professional and I'll get there, but right now I'm just Heidi Cullinan, author and reader and very tired person. You know what, RWA? We write damn good stories. We work very hard. Do we have some stinkers in our midst? Oh yeah. And you know what? So do the m/f books, and you know it. You know what, judges of RWI who are uncomfortable reading about same-sex relationships? I'm uncomfortable with you judging my work like that without reading it. I'm uncomfortable with you pasting RWA on yourself and then saying, with RWA national's blessing, that you don't want to read that gay stuff.
What LGBT romance needs are more readers. What we need is exposure and opportunity. We aren't asking for special treatment, and believe it or not, we aren't even asking for a genre label. Yeah, it's hell competing against the full press in the RITAs, but we're okay with doing it. In fact, we'd rather. We're willing to work. We're willing to throw ourselves at the walls of ignorance and nose-wrinkling and discomfort because boys and boys and girls and girls are kissing and wearing each other's clothes and revealing they're gender queer. Yeah, we're in our ghetto alleys, but we are here and determined and ready to work to show you how much we have to bring to the table. And we're ready to do it over and over and over until people listen.
So give us a chance, eh? You're "uncomfortable" with our pairings? We'll work hard to change your mind. But you have to work too. You have to let us play. You have to admit you're taking our dues and calling us full members, and you need to treat us like them. You need to not hang "no gays" signs on your contest windows. And if you do, you need to be called out on it.
Are you an author of LGBT romances? Are you a reader of them? Are you an advocate of LGBT rights? Please write to RWI's contest coordinator (firstname.lastname@example.com). Please write to RWA. Please don't yell and throw glass. You can be hurt, but please be civil. One little pebble thrown becomes an excuse to call us the bullies. And you know? I don't even think RWA or RWI are the bullies. I think they're not thinking. I think they're thinking of themselves and keeping things quiet and easy. I think they don't think for one second saying "no gays" is the same as hanging "whites only" over a toilet.
If you know that's exactly what it is like I do, tell them. Politely. Firmly. Over and over and over again.
RWI, RWA: Let same-sex entries into your contest. Change your policies. Don't discriminate.

Vehicle Profile: 2012 Land Rover LR2
The real deal in luxury SUVs.
Few would argue that Land Rover produces the world's most desirable luxury SUVs, but there are still people who might not know how accessible a Land Rover can be. The 2012 Land Rover LR2 delivers genuine brand performance and experience at a price not far from mainstream compact SUVs.
The 2012 Land Rover LR2 embodies the brand's 60-year-plus heritage in a crisply modern way, and an MSRP of $36,550 means you can enjoy genuine Land Rover design, capability and luxury for a price more commonly associated with minivans and entry-level European sedans, neither of which is capable of anything more than paved-road driving.
The Land Rover LR2 is a true luxury SUV that drives a lot like a good sport sedan. Chalk that up to a silky-smooth 3.2-liter inline six-cylinder engine that produces a healthy 230 hp. What you notice most about this engine is how quickly it responds in everyday driving, the result of delivering 80 percent of its 234 lb/ft of peak torque at just 1,400 rpm. A tough, smooth-shifting six-speed automatic transmission makes optimal use of this generous power.
That kind of response also benefits you when driving off-pavement, where the 2012 Land Rover lives up to its brand heritage with aplomb. A sophisticated chassis with four-wheel independent suspension combines with advanced intelligent all-wheel drive and the brand's Terrain Response
system to take the Land Rover LR2 where mere crossovers fear to tread.
With a dial on the center console, you simply select a driving mode that reflects the current road (or non-road) surface conditions, and Terrain Response adjusts the vehicle's engine, transmission, four-wheel drive and traction and stability systems accordingly. Modes that accommodate tarmac, grass, gravel, snow, mud, ruts and sand ensure that the Land Rover LR2 will have your back in difficult driving conditions. CommandShift mode lets you shift the transmission manually when appropriate, such as for greater engine control on steep inclines.
"Steep inclines" is not a phrase you see associated with many luxury SUVs these days. Being a Land Rover, the LR2 must pass a battery of vigorous engineering tests that certify its ability in such conditions. A body structure that uses a large amount of ultra-high-strength steel resists the flexing that off-road driving could otherwise induce.
When the going really gets steep, Hill Descent Control, Gradient Release Control and Roll Stability Control come to the fore to provide precision powertrain control for the kind of slow-speed maneuvering needed to get you through safely. The 8.3 inches of ground clearance provides ample room for many obstacles. A number you almost never see other SUVs reveal is fording depth, but the Land Rover LR2, which has special engine compartment features to prevent water intrusion, will get you through 19.7 inches of water.
The distinctive Land Rover design delivers functionality, too, offering nearly 60 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seatbacks folded. A 3,500-pound towing capacity (with a braked trailer) is enough to pull such recreational "toys" as watercraft, motorcycles or small boats.
Regardless of weather and road conditions, you'll enjoy true Land Rover refinement and luxury with such standard amenities as leather-trimmed seats, a six-way power driver's seat and four-way power front passenger seat, plus a standard panoramic dual-panel sunroof. Adding some of those features to a Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class SUV, a vehicle that starts at $35,880, does not offer comparable off-road capability and even charges extra for all-wheel drive, would require adding nearly $5,000 in options.
As in other Land Rover and Range Rover models, you can customize your level of luxury and amenities with HSE or HSE LUX trim lines. The top model comforts you with soft Windsor leather seating in a choice of four colors – ebony, almond, ivory or tan. A 480-watt Alpine
Dolby ProLogic II 7.1 Surround audio system delivers clean, powerful surround-sound through 13 speakers and includes satellite radio and HD Radio
Come drive the 2012 Land Rover LR2 and see how affordable a genuine Land Rover can be.

Neighbor's like Joe Webster who live on this quiet street Frayser, where Tencil Jones lives with her children, were shocked to find out she is facing two counts of reckless endangerment, "The kids are well behaved, they're never loud, they obey, she seemed like a good mom."
Jones and her friend Marvin Millbrook are facing the same charges after Jones' five year old son found a gun in this house, took it to school where the weapon fired inside of the Westbrook Elementary's cafeteria.
MORE: Gun in kindergartner's backpack discharges in cafeteria
Shelby County District Attorney Amy Weirich says, "We have to follow the facts, we have to look at the evidence, we have to look at the law and make those determinations in this case the grand jury has spoken."
Weirich says Jones and Millbrook are facing two counts because Jones's 8-year old daughter found the gun first. It was taken away and shortly thereafter found again but this time by Jones' 5 year old son whom investigators say put the weapon in his backpack.
Weirich says, "The message here is step up and be a parent, check your kids backpack before you send them out to school."
The D-A says even though the incident happened on August 22, the grand jury wasted no time handing up an indictment.
Weirich says, "Memphis Police began investigating this case immediately and at the end of that investigation the information was turned over to this office and indictments were returned.
Neighbor's say they're still unsure what to make of what happened, but D-A Weirich says she knows if parents don't step up, the law will continue to step in.
FULL RELEASE FROM OFFICE of the DISTRICT ATTORNEY GENERAL:
A Shelby County Grand Jury has indicted the adults connected to the 5-year-old who brought a gun to Westside Elementary School on August 22, 2013.
Tencil Jones (age 28) and Marvin Millbrook (age 27) were indicted Thursday on two (2) counts each of reckless endangerment.
The Memphis Police Department investigation revealed that on or before August 22, 2013 Marvin Millbrooks brought a loaded handgun into the home of Tencil Jones and her children. The weapon was not properly secured and Tencil Jones' eight-year-old daughter found the gun. Although the weapon was taken from the eight-year old child, it was stored in a manner and location accessible to the five-year old child who later retrieved it. The five-year old placed the loaded gun in his backpack and took it to school.
Officers responded to reports of a shot fired inside Westside Elementary School on the morning of August 22, 2013. Westside Elementary school officials reported the shot was fired inside the school's cafeteria among other children and adults. One of the adults notified school officials upon locating the gun inside the backpack.
Reckless endangerment is a class "E" felony with a sentence of up to six (6) years.

About the AuthorKristy Carpenter
carpekl Rochester, NY
I was born in 1987 and grew up on a farm in the small rural town of Bronson, Michigan, where there are probably more farm animals than people and only two working traffic lights.
In 2006 I moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts, started college at Harvard University, and fell in love with the city of Boston. Ensuring that I would never be employable, I graduated with a BA in Visual and Environmental Studies in May 2010.
I currently live in Rochester, New York, which I've learned is actually the arctic, judging by its cruel weather. This is my second year of graduate school at Rochester Institute of Technology - a campus composed almost solely of hipsters and engineers. I am working on my MFA in Photography.

The WebGeek Archive
by Scott Allen - January 27, 2014
Filed Under Blogging, Random
The WebGeek is back. Well, sort of. Let me back up a second and explain.
In case you're not familiar, WebGeek was a blog about Internet marketing, SEO, and web design, that I authored between 2006-2009, while I was running my previous company.
You might have wondered what I've been up to for the past few years since I've been pretty quiet. Well, I have a little story for you.
In the beginning of 2010, I closed my previous company down to follow the call of duty. I mean a literal call of duty, not like the game. I enlisted in the Army, and signed up for the Infantry so I could be in the front lines in the fight against terror.
Whoa, slow down there, high speed…why on earth would you do that?
One thing that not a lot of people know about me: The 9/11 terror attacks on New York City hit me in a very real way because I grew up in NY. It hit me hard. I remember standing on top of the World Trade Center as a kid. When 9/11 happened it felt like someone had attacked my home. For many years after that day I had a heavy feeling that I needed to get involved. It didn't go away and eventually I knew it wouldn't until I did something. I considered all kinds of options, but nothing clicked until the beginning of 2010. So, I closed down my company and joined up.
So if any of you wondered what happened to me or where I went, it's because I spent the last 4 years in the U.S. Army, including a combat tour in Afghanistan. It was good…and I'm glad I did it. Now I'm back to doing Internet marketing and web design. What do you know, in that time I haven't lost my edge. :)
Ok, back to the good stuff…
One thing I discovered is that people actually still want to read some of the old articles on here. Some things are no longer relevant because of the evolution of the web, but what do you know…some of them still are pretty damn relevant. So I dug out the database, and plugged it in here. I'm going to keep some key posts up, so not everything will be here.
Some of you might have wondered what happened to the WP-SpamFree plugin. I passed that on to some others to take care of while I was gone.
It may get involved with it again, but I haven't decided yet. We'll see. For now I'll leave its pages up as a reference to anyone who needs it. (UPDATE: I built a new anti-spam plugin on the foundation of WP-SpamFree. The new one is called WP-SpamShield, and is about 100 times better. Seriously. Check it out.)
In case you're wondering what I'm currently up to, I've started a new Internet marketing and web design company, Red Sand Marketing, based in San Diego.
So here it is…the WebGeek Archive. Enjoy.

Two Augusta commissioners say there's no reason to resign from their spots on the city ethics sub-
As we reported, commissioner Marion Williams says Alvin Mason and Corey Johnson should recues themselves from the committee reviewing city ethics rules.
The two admit to going to Falcons games in the luxury box of city contractor Heery International.
City rules allow commissioners to accept tickets so both feel there's no reason to leave the sub-committee.
"Occasionally it happens and commissioners whoever maybe given a ticket or whatever it maybe and there's nothing wrong with that George, people say that it's perceivable to be a big issue but it's not," says Mayor Pro-Tem Corey Johnson.
"People are making much to do about nothing If you don't like the rule we can always change it the fact of the matter is I'm following the rules of the game there is no reporting requirement I just want to follow the rules and that's what I've done," says Commissioner Alvin Mason.
Commissioner Donnie Smith is chairman of the ethics committee and says he's asking the law department to review the actions of the commissioners to see if policy was violated.

I've got a little pond on my allotment and I'm lucky enough to have newts as regular visitors. I saw them loads last spring and summer, normally basking on the surface of the water around dusk. I was really looking forward to their return this year and, sure as anything, they started to appear again in spring. I've never seen them out of the water though...until now.
I had to lift a piece of old carpet that's down on one of the paths to pull some weeds and I found this little guy, and left him uncovered just long enough to take a quick picture. I'm always amazed by wildlife (life is so satisfying when you're as easily please as me!) and newts are a more than welcome addition to the menagerie on the plot.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
After three cities and hundreds of shows, Paris fashion week is where the most influential designers crystallize the season's message and the major models stalk the runways. Miuccia Prada certainly delivered on the latter yesterday with arguably the best cast we've seen this month at Miu Miu. The lineup was bookended by Raquel Zimmermann, who opened, and closer Karen Elson. In the mix were plenty of other catwalk veterans including Malgosia Bela, Iselin Steiro, Jessica Stam, Hilary Rhoda, Delfine Bafort, and Diana Dondoe. It was a refreshing cap to a season that, for the most part, lacked big-name models. On that note, Miu Miu also illuminated some of the top newcomers including Irina Kravchenko, Marine Deleeuw, Esther Heesch, and Manon Leloup (pictured), who each had impressive freshman seasons. We've had our eye on Kravchenko since she opened Alexander Wang during NYFW, and the edgy redhead truly blasted off in the City of Light, where she opened Haider Ackermann, Viktor & Rolf, and Sacai and also walked Balenciaga, Givenchy, and Valentino. Meanwhile, Deleeuw's Paris highlights included Céline, Balenciaga, Dior, and Chanel—out of all the fresh faces, Deleeuw won the numbers game with 36 shows total. After skipping New York and London, Heesch kept the momentum from her Prada debut going with turns on top Paris runways, including Valentino (which she opened), Alexander McQueen, Balenciaga, Céline, Chanel, Chloé, and Dries Van Noten. For her part, Leloup did many of those same top shows (15 total in Paris), and both opened and closed Nina Ricci.
Saint Laurent was another highly anticipated moment that delivered on noteworthy newbies. Grace Mahary closed the show and also did Balenciaga, Givenchy (where she was an exclusive last season), Balmain, and Isabel Marant earlier in the week. Hedi Slimane also plucked Kristen McMenamy's daughter Lily as an exclusive, and she turned up at Chanel the next day. Others at SL included Juliana Schurig, who built upon her success from the first three weeks in Paris, walking Lanvin, Giambattista Valli, and Alexander McQueen, among others; Magdalena Jasek, who opened Céline and did Louis Vuitton, Valentino, and Viktor & Rolf; and Alexandra Martynova, who we first saw as a Calvin Klein exclusive and really capitalized on her androgynous appeal in Paris, closing Dior and also showing up at Rick Owens and Alexander McQueen, among others. Overall, it was a season full of promising newcomers who will be top contenders for the season's forthcoming ad campaigns.

ASK Devrim Ozturk what his name and he will tell you - its Superman (with accompanying arm movement).
"How old are you, Dev?" "69," he says. It has gone up from earlier in the day when he was 64.
Dev is, in fact, 14. Today, he wants to be rapper Jay Z. He has the swagger.
Dev is an entertainer. He is charming and expressive, he has no sense of embarrassment or teenage angst. He is just Dev.
Dev also has the genetic disorder Down's Syndrome. His mum, Debbie, loves the bones of him.
Dev can be affectionate and funny but he can also have outbursts of temper. As he grows older and physically bigger, it can be threatening. He has the mental age of a six-year-old.
Babies can be tested for Down's Syndrome while they are in the womb but Debbie slipped through the net.
She was the sales manager for a newspaper in London, enjoying a successful career in Canary Wharf, when she feel pregnant.
"I was 33," she said. "I wasn't particularly maternal. I went to have my 12 week scan. It was a Friday and they said come back on Monday.
"They said you need to prepare yourself for a difficult decision.
"When I went back, there were several people there and I had the scans. They said there was nothing to worry about.
"I believed them. I skipped down the road, everything seemed OK.
"At my 20 week scan, they could not see the four chambers of his heart and I had to go back again. They said everything looked fine."
But everything was not fine.
After Dev was born, the nurses took blood samples from him. Six weeks later, Debbie was called back to the hospital.
"They told me, unceremoniously, Dev had Down's Syndrome.
"It was very cold. They sent me home with some leaflets."
Debbie was on her own with Dev. Her former husband was living in Turkey and while they stayed in touch they did not have a settled relationship.
Debbie said: "I was devastated. It was the end of my life as I knew it.
"I did not tell anyone, except one friend, until he was three-months-old.
"I had to come to terms with it myself before I could tell anyone because I had to be able to deal with people's reactions.
"I only told my mum when I had to because I moved to live with her.
"I knew my life would never be the same again."
Debbie, 47, who lives in Colchester, admits if she had been told Dev had Down's Syndrome while she was pregnant, she may have opted for a termination.
"Statistics show most women do in that situation and given the sort of person I was then, I probably would have done so. I was selfish.
"You have this idea of children growing up to be clever and going to university.
"Now I am glad I was not told. I could not imagine my life without him."
When Dev was six-months-old, doctors at Addenbrooks Hospital found he had a hole in the heart.
He was referred to Great Ormond Street Hospital within weeks and underwent a seven hour operation.
Debbie said: "It was like watching someone else's life.
"You are given a bleeper and the longer it goes on without you being called, the better. It means nothing has gone wrong."
Debbie gave up work when Dev was 13 months.
She went from her high-flying City life to caring for a disabled child. It meant endless rounds of hospital appointments and sessions with occupational, speech and physio therapists.
"I went from one extreme to another. I did get depressed. I knew all our plans would not happen now.
"But I was devoted to Dev and he was and is my priority."
All the while Debbie watches Dev as he plays on his game. Her eyes light up as she speaks about him and there is not an ounce of resentment or self-pity.
Debbie had her second son, Tarik, who is now 12, and after a few years past, she decided to move to Turkey to try to make a go of it with her then husband.
"It was lovely at first. We had all his family there.
"It became more and more difficult. Turkey is about 50 years behind England in terms of educating children with disabilities.
"They do have schools but they are more like the old institutions."
Dev was taught at home but there was no structure to his days.
Debbie said: "I looked into the future and it frightened me to death.
"He did not know how to behave socially. I knew he had to learn how to integrate."
After four years, when Dev was 12, she moved back to England and Dev started to go to Lexden Springs special school.
"I knew in my heart I had to come back.
"At first, I used to get a call from the school almost every day because he was swearing at the teachers or behaving inappropriately.
"He has come such a long way. It felt fantastic that we were working together for him."
Debbie will never stop worrying about Dev. He has no awareness of danger, is vulnerable and open to suggestion.
But he is making progress. He is learning how to behave socially and play is central to that.
Debbie is supporting the 100,000 Smiles appeal to raise £100,000 to build a play area at Lexden Springs School.
She takes him to the play area at Castle Park in Colchester and said: "He tries to play with the younger children because that is where he is mentally but they just see a teenager.
"To have a play area at the school, which is a safe environment, would mean the world.
"Through play, they are encouraged to learn and learn about how to behave socially. It is also a good way of letting their frustrations out.
"If they got this play area, it would like all their Christmases come at once."
And Dev is clear. I ask him: "Do you like the swings, the slide, the roundabout?"
"Yes," he says and nods. Enough said.
* THE 100,000 Smiles campaign aims to create a new play area for the school which would include swings and a roundabout, which could be used by disabled children, including those in wheelchairs.
For the more able children, there would be a rope climbing frame.
A bubble tunnel and wobble board would assist the children with their agility and balance as would a wavy bridge while a wavy mirror would provide sensory stimulation for children.
To contribute to the fundraising appeal, send a cheque to the Lexden Springs Appeal Fund at Lexden Springs School, Halstead Road, Colchester, CO3 9AB, or go to www.justgiving.com/lexdensprings.

There's a lot of hubbub about the Strikeforce event coming up a week from Saturday, and with good reason. All four main card fights (Mousasi-Kyle, Beerbohm-Aoki, Kawajiri-Melendez II, and Diaz-Daley) are set to be spectacular. Not only that, but this will mark the first ever Strikeforce event promoted during a UFC PPV.
There's one name on the undercard that intrigues me, however.
His doesn't look all that great; at 33, his record is a mediocre 15-8-1. While he's won his last three fights, he lost the two prior to that and completely fizzled in his first stateside trip, going 0-2 with an ugly knockout loss in the WEC.
He also happens to be one of the best featherweights in the world.
To ensure that you stay interested, let me give you an interesting statistic: of Hiroyuki Takaya's last eight wins, seven were by TKO. He was the first man to beat Hatsu Hioki and, perhaps most impressively, the only fighter to EVER knock out Joachim "Hellboy" Hansen.
His reputation was so bad that his father actually fled their hometown to escape Takaya's reputation.
Rather than continue down the rather unpleasant road towards prison and the "in through the out door" moments therein, he turned his attention to MMA, going 4-0-1 in his first five (including a win over current #2 featherweight Hatsu Hioki wherein he dropped the future great several times) before being defeated by Strikeforce champ Gilbert Melendez. He would split his next 6 bouts, including an unsuccessful run at lightweight that saw him face and fall to Genki Sudo, Gesias Calvacante, and Muay Thai monster Andre "Dida" Amado.
Luckily, after dropping back to featherweight, he won his next two by TKO and packed his bags for the sunny, hot dog-filled land of America.
It also happens to be full of angry little people more than willing to punch your face off, however, as he was felled by Leonard Garcia and, despite a spirited effort that won him FotN, was released from the WEC after dropping a decision to Cub Swanson.
Takaya's time was about to come, however, as he entered DREAM's 139-lb. featherweight grand prix.
After knocking out debuting (and immediately-retiring) Jong Won Kim, he took on freshly-released former WEC bantamweight challenger Yoshiro Maeda. With 20 seconds left in the first round, he landed a monstrous right hand that sent Maeda crashing down, granting him an (admittedly premature) stoppage victory.
He proceeded to defeat fan-favorite Hideo Tokoro before losing via split-decision to Bibiano Fernandes.
Next up for Takaya was a date with current UFC competitor and consensus top-10 featherweight Michihiro Omigawa. Unfortunately for the Streetfight Banchō, however, the slick "Peekaboo" boxing of Omigawa nullified his incredible power and put him down halfway through the first.
Unbeknownst to onlookers, 2010 would be Takaya's year.
At DREAM 14 on May 29, 2010, Takaya stepped into the "White Cage" to face Joachim "Hellboy" Hansen, the one-time DREAM lightweight champion and all-around badass. While he was on a two-fight losing streak, Hansen had lost only to the elite and was having his second fight at 145, a much better weight for him. He entered at -280, fresh off a close split-decision loss of his own to Bibiano Fernandes.
This was a rebound fight for an elite fighter entering his natural weight class.
Showing solid takedown defense, Takaya was fairly even with his foe for the beginning of the fight. With less than 40 seconds left in the first, a hard right straight from Takaya wobbled Hansen. "Hellboy" shot back up to his feet, but left his hands back at his waist; another vicious right sent him tumbling back. A third and final shot did the impossible, glazing the eyes and deadening the arms of the indestructible Norwegian.
Takaya made sure not to let momentum slip away, next facing former WEC bantamweight champion Chase Beebe, who was looking to continue a two-fight winning streak in the wake of a nightmarish stretch of losses and an appalling robbery. Again, the wicked brawler forced his opponent to stand with him, stuffing ever shot from the vaunted wrestler before connecting with a huge left hook and turning out his lights with followup right straights on the ground.
Another visit to Dynamite, this time as the main event, awaited Takaya at the end of the year, as he was granted a title shot (much to the annoyance of Omigawa) against top-10 featherweight and BJJ ace Bibiano Fernandes, who had beaten Takaya for the title. The Streefight Banchō looked to build on the momentum set by lightweight associate Tatsuya Kawajiri, who had just run roughshod over Josh Thomson.
Before the bout, the VTR talked about both men's pasts; touchingly, Takaya said that he wanted his father there to see him win a belt.
The bout itself was, for the most part, sedate; the fighters broke even on the feet and Takaya shrugged off Fernandes's attempts to put him on his back. In the third, however, Fernandes made a terrible mistake, attempting to pull guard without really thinking about the fact that nobody had submitted Takaya in five years. The remainder of the contest was spent with Takaya mashing Bibano's head into pastry against the mat.
One unanimous decision later, to applause so raucous that nobody even heard the third judge's score, Hiroyuki Takaya was the DREAM featherweight champion.
I know this isn't as good as my last piece; I just thought Takaya deserved this. He's not a big name, but he should to be; not only does he have some EXCELLENT wins on his resume, but it wouldn't be exaggeration at all to call him one of the hardest pound-for-pound punchers in the sport. He's got a personality and a wonderful story, one which I wish I could better communicate.
And one which has a perfect ending. As the crowd exploded for the former bad boy, the camera zoomed in on his father.
He smiled.

If the Cowboys are to have a winning record and make the playoffs, it will depend on:
1. Having a positive turnover differential. Ryan's D will give up yards, but if it can generate turnovers, those yards will not translate into as many points as it might. Also, Romo has to protect the ball.
2. Being able to run the ball consistently. Garrett will seek explosion in the offense, and with Feilx Jones, Miles Austin, and Dez Bryant, we should have more than our share of big plays. Our D is the weak link. Like turnovers, one way to protect it is to be able to run the ball and control the clock.
3. Avoiding the big play against us. This is where our safety play killed us last year. We gave up far too many big plays and long TDs. We should be able to cut those down this year, which will force teams into longer drives that we might be able to kill with a turnover or sack.
4. Staying healthy at key spots. We need Austin and Dez to stay healthy, as the dropoff behind them is pretty steep. Romo needs to remain upright. The O-line has some depth at guard with Holland and Arkin, but almost no depth at tackle. Elam and Sensabaugh are critical to the D. And we're very thin at ILB. Even after Bruce Carter is healthy, he'll be a rookie trying to learn without any training camp or preseason games. Witten, Ware, and Ratliff are also essential.
5. Kicking field goals well. We lost one game last year because of a missed extra point. So many other games were swung by missed field goals, including the first Washington game, which shouldn't have come down to the Alex Barron hold. We need an accurate kicker. It's not hard to imagine that 2-4 games could hinge on this.
6. Minimizing dumb mistakes. Penalties can also be devastating. Tashard Choice's two biggest pre-season runs were negated by holding calls. These are drive killers and often cost points. Recent Cowboys teams have been horrible in this department. Let's see if Garrett can get this fixed. So far, it's looking pretty good. I would also add missed assignments like Gronkowski missing the blitz pickup that cost Romo his season in this category.
7. Being able to stop the run. At times during the pre-season, it appeared that teams could run on us at will. Denver pushed our starting D right down the field, then inexplicably called a pass when they could have punched it in (and would have won the game if they had). Minnesota also ran on us consistently. Nothing demoralizes a D more than not being able to stop another team's running game. The other team controls the clock, and needn't take any risks, minimizing turnover chances. This is a big question for the Cowboys this year.
8. Staying unpredictable on offense and defense. Ryan will certainly be unpredictable. Garrett also needs to. I like the new attention to screen passes. With the younger, mobile offensive line, and Felix Jones and DeMarco Murray, this could offer major big-play potential.
9. Winning the special teams battle. With David Buehler's leg on kickoffs and Matt Briar punting, we should excel in gaining field position on special teams. And if Dez is given some chances to run back punts, we have the chance to pop some for scores. This could win us a couple of games.
10. Protecting home turf. Last year, the Cowboys were 2-6 at home. That's horrible. We only beat the Lions and Washington. This needs to be flipped. There is no reason why with all of the offensive playmakers we have why we shouldn't play our best in the controlled environment of Cowboys' Stadium.
Will we do all these things? No. But I think there is a chance we could accomplish most of them, and be a solid playoff contender, with an outside shot at the division title. This team will struggle at times. The key will be how it fights in the face of those struggles. Jason Garrett seems to have stripped the players of a sense of entitlement with all the big salary cuts, and that should translate into more motivated play. I love the new offensive line. I love having Felix Jones ready to breakout, and Dez Bryant ready to torch teams. I love guys like Phil Tanner, and wish we had the equivalent kind of guy on defense.
What I worry most about is our defense getting pushed around and not being able to get off the field after third down, and our field goal kicker(s) losing games by missing makeable kicks. I'm also concerned that our young linemen may not hold up over a long season without the strength training they need.
My prediction is 10-6. We might do better, given the easier schedule, but the realist in me thinks we will lose some winnable close games.

In an interview with Raheem Morris someone asked the question, Is everything in place for your team to win this year. Raheem answered the question by saying it's a race to ten. He elaborated on the statement by saying the Bucs are in a race to win Ten games, that will step them up for a playoff run and they would be ready to compete with any one from there on. Why a coach answered the question( is everything in place for your team to win this year) by saying it's a race to ten, will tell what he believes this team can accomplish.
Break down the question, 1 part comes down to Rah giving an evaluation about his roster, and he answered by saying the Bucs are in a race to ten. No coach is going to say that unless he is sure he has that pieces in place to do this. What Tampa lacked last year, they have addressed in the offseason. There is still optimism about they way the Bucs addressed their issues, because they did so with some unproven and young talent. Raheem is not optimistic about what he has though. He is confident about the jump the team is about to take during training camp.That confidence in Raheem is something to feel good about, if you are a Buc fan.
Another part of the question came down to Rah answering if he think the team can win or not, and again the answer to the question was it's a race to ten. Expectations for the Bucs have them not even a .500 team. But everyone expects them to win at least more than the 3 games they won last year. Those are not Raheem expectations for his team.Body language and tone of vice tells you how a person truly feels when asked a question liked Raheem was asked. Rah answered the question like there is not a doubt in his mind that his team can go out there and win 10 or more games this year. The fact that he did not have that confidence last year should also be a sign of how far the Bucs have came.If Raheem had said that his team was in a race to ten last year everyone would look at him like he's crazy. Last year he was an assistant thrown into the fire of building a young team with no direction. This year it is different, it's a different vibe, a it's different swag, and a different level of confidence.

Not very happy with the projector bulb life (previous 3 bulbs provided under warranty by Epson) but I am happy with how fast the bulb I ordered from bulbamerica got to me. I would do business again. Only time will tell if results of this bulb are going to be any different.

The second day of William Carey's youth basketball camp brings in about 45 male and female participants, setting the stage for a battle of gender supremacy.
In one friendly competition, boys and girls line up on opposite sides of the court in a seated position, passing the ball down the line until the whistle blows.
The two players left holding a ball then sprint to opposing baskets, with the first camper to make a lay up eliminating a member of the opposition.
The last two players remaining decide the winner by duck crawling to half court, then racing to make a lay up from their knees.
While 15-year-old camper Zach Johnson can dunk, the boys still fell short to the girls, who were led by the Lady Crusaders.
Aside from friendly competition, campers, coaches and players say gender dynamics don't factor into the overall camp experience.
"To me it feels the same," says 7th grade camper Lauren Seymarth.
"We all have to go through the same things to get to a scholarship - girl or boy - so it doesn't matter," says 11th grade camper Johnson.
"That's something that the girls and boys will remember is having an actual player give some instruction to them," says William Carey assistant men's basketball coach Scotty Fletcher.
"It really doesn't matter to me. I mean I almost kind of like the boys because the boys are more competitive. They have that more competitive spirit about them, but I'm a girl so of course I'm more biased towards girls," says William Carey senior shooting guard Lauren Douglas.

Jerry Jones had rotator cuff surgery in July
Not much in the way of specifics: "Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones told ESPNDallas.com's Calvin Watkins on Sunday that he underwent surgery July 20 and that he's expected to make a full recovery. The 68-year-old Jones didn't offer any specifics on the type of surgery, only saying it wasn't life-threatening or heart-related. " *Edit: Turns out it was a rotator cuff surgery. Link has been updated to a DMN story: "The orthopedic procedure performed on owner and general manager Jerry Jones was a repair of his right rotator cuff, according to Vice President of Public Relations Rich Dalrymple."

JACKSON, MS (WLBT) - This new procedure is not widely used, but some doctors have implemented it. It's inserting a heart stent through the wrist instead of through the leg.
Doctors often insert tiny wire mesh tubes called stents to prop open clogged or narrowed arteries and they typically go through a large artery in the groin to get there. But going through the wrist lowers bleeding complications up to 80 percent. Recovery is much quicker and some patients go home the same day.
The surgery does take a lot of precision. The wrist artery is much smaller than the leg artery. Cardiologists at Ohio State University Medical Center are among the first in the country to perform stenting through the wrist.

It's A Family Affair
The Filmmaker's Presence
Donal, who is Dottie and Don's eldest son, and the older brother of Donna, never appears in the film. But you do feel his presence and that of co-director Michael Palmieri in the exquisitely sensitive way in which the family's story is framed, photographed and edited. Although they never use voice of God narration or graphics to explain events, nor do they make explicit statements, the filmmakers' sensibilities and compassion are palpable. Creating a carefully structured and impressionistic pastiche of revealing interviews, family discussions and incidental environmental shots of black crows flying across the screen, naked white tree branches standing out against the night sky like skeletons, Halloween goblins and other such images, they lead us through the Moshers' mental landscape, a millieu of family secrets, personal fears and patterns of denial that they are trying to escape.

Lord-Lieutenant visits Acorns Children's Hospice
Updated 1:21pm Monday 7th April 2014 in News
THE difference made to the lives of parents whose children are cared for by Acorns Children's Hospice was explained to the Lord-Lieutenant of Worcestershire during a visit.
Lt Col Patrick Holcroft, LVO OBE, visited Acorns for the Three Counties on Bath Road, Worcester, to learn about the services the children's hospice offers to life limited children and their families.
He was given a tour of the facilities by the charity's chairman David Butcher and head nurse Debra Clark.
He also met with staff, volunteers and parents to hear first-hand about the work of Acorns and the difference it makes to their lives.
Mr Butcher said: "We very much welcomed the opportunity to show the Lord-Lieutenant around the hospice and explain our plans for the future."
He explained the charity's current five year strategy for growth which will see a 50 per cent increase in the number of children using Acorns by 2018.
It will mean an overall increase in annual care costs of around £4.2m by the end of the period.
Lt Col Holcroft said: "The hospice team at Acorns are inspirational and work tirelessly to provide children and parents with a high standard of care.
"It was humbling to meet some of the families who use the service and I can fully appreciate just how crucial the work of the hospice is to those in need of its services."

4.5/5 rDev +23%
A clear, deep, russett-brown body reveals light mahogany highlights at the base of the glass. A rough pour brings up a short head of light tan froth, but it inevitably receeds to just a creamy collar around some lacy surface foam. A tilt of the glass, however, reveals some very fine bubbles; and its soft, low-level carbonation leaves it exceptionally smooth across the palate. It's obviously intended to have more of an English feel to it, and as such, a low-level head is quite appropriate. In the nose, some highly kilned malt borders on roastiness along with some chocolate, toffee, toasty nuttiness, and a swatch of sweet buttery caramel. The same character is carried over into the flavor; and although the body is light, the flavor remains rich. An underlying bitterness is necessitated by such a delicate ale, and it's excuisitely executed here. It finishes with a light touch of fruit wrapped in nutty caramel; then fades to a dry roastiness and dull bitterness in the aftertaste. A most impressive English-style brown ale that appears as if poured from a cask straight out of the bottle!

Thanks Derbert (from our Thanksgiving trade)
The first snow of the season sends a storm of song birds to the feeder in the backyard between the snow covered black slotted deck and the clearing between the house and woods stacks up with the usual mid Missouri wildlife. Just past the tree line 25 yards away two does watch as this years crop of doe play in the lightly falling snow - their first snow.
Inside counting myself lucky that my job of tasting beer keeps me at home. Like the bear on the label, I can slumber late and stay in the den.
Winter Ale pours "wet bear" chestnut brown, clear with mahogany highlights when the 0.4 L rastal sniffer is held up to the snowy landscape. The tan head has quickly vanished like the deer in the woods. The only trace is the tracks left behind around the meniscus. A ring sustained by fine bubbles of CO2 that rise and follow the edge. A wisp of lace hangs on the New Belgium glass like a icing of snow on the pine branch disturbed by a cardinal that sends it falling to the bare ground sheltered beneath.
Thankful that I choose the sniffer I huff in the aroma of heavy roasted malts, chocolate, toffee and sweet caramel. These are reflected in the rich flavors like my now half full glass against the window. I open the patio door to let my yellow lab, Daisy, in from her winter walk. A light body but still enjoyable mouthfeel is inhanced by a near perfect malt : hop balance. The bitterness from well balance hops keep the taste buds clean and the beer finishes with dry impressive end.
This English-style brown ale was a welcome winter guest as I listen to the cars race as their tires spin against the hilly country road made almost impassible for the day. A day when you take pleasure in your cellared ales that you have so wisely put away for winter storms.

Terrific beer. Really. Reminded me somewhat of DFH Indian Brown Ale.
Head was nutso. Kept whooshing up on me and not letting me finish my pour. Very thick, creamy, frothy, and persistent. Never went away.
This one could easily be considered a porter. It's that dark and roasty. Certainly hoppier than your typical porter. Really, really hoppy, but marvelously balanced out by those mysterious dark malty flavors. Not sweet at all.
Bursting with flavor, fairly unique. Definitely an all-out American brown ale, and a bold one at that.
Not currently available in AL, but if i ever see a six pack of this, i'm going for it.

Poured a lets say chestnut brown color since thats what the brewers are puporting this as, fairly accurate on the color side of things. 1" white head head quicly drops to a bubbly film with some lacing
Smell: Big fruity malt nose with good layers of cinamon and brown sugar.
Taste: Big toasty malt/nutty taste with some spicyness cutting through (brown sugar, vanilla & malt)
MF: Good carbonation, but not enough body for winter ale.
Drank just fine. but thought this was brown ale unless I didn't already know better. I'll try again out curiosity to see if aging affects for better or worse (my guess)

4.13/5 rDev +12.8%
Appearance: Dark, almost opaque brown with tinges of red. Tan head that has a decent retention and some lacing evident on the glass.
Smell: A roasty, almost nutty smell with some vigorous hops hidden in it.
Taste: A crisp roasted flavor permeates your tongue and is followed by a hops aftertaste. This is a somewhat bold brown since it has so much hops flavor and roastyness to it, but it is perfect for the winter season. There is no noticeable alcohol warmth and some residual sweetness to it that is akin to a molasses flavor. Very good.
Mouthfeel: A well rounded brown, it has a somewhat "meaty" feel to it and just below normal carbonation which allows one to really taste the beer.
Drinkablity: This a very drinkable beer and I found my glass empty before I was ready for it. I wish I had picked up some more!

This beer came from Maui which is kind of strange. The colour was opaque dark brown with an okay head. The nose contained lots of malt and some hops. I like big brown ales and this one was much like Dogfish Heads version. Very food friendly and quite drinkable, Butte Creek should consider calling this a Brown ale and selling it year round.

A pricey six pack of this showed up at my local store that stocks some craft beer. What the heck? I'm always looking to try new stuff and I'm hoping buying their beer will encourage a better selection. Anyway, I dumped this beer into a standard pint glass. I get a nice head with a decent amount of retention, thin whisps of lace. The body of this beer is clear, but a good deal darker than your standard brown ale almost like the "burnt sienna" crayon. The head is suprisngly white. Very sublte nose typical of brown ales, some smokiness and light touches of caramel and biscuit. This beer is a lot more flavorful than the nose would have you believe though. Toasted nuts, dabs of milk chocolate and caramel, a faint puff of smoke, and a nice hop smattering in the finish. The mouthfeel is soft and really quenching. A really solid and flavorful brown. Is this beer worth the $10 I paid for a sixer? Probably not. Also I think I think a brown ale is sort of a weird winter seasonal, but then again so is Celebration IPA.

4.03/5 rDev +10.1%
Appearance This one is a very dark brown in color with some light ruby notes along the edges of the glass. The head is huge and holds up really well. It left some nice lacing on the inside of my glass.
Smell The brownish, toasted malt notes are very pleasing, as only a good Brown Ale can be. The raw sugars are very rich and controlled. I can pick up a light English hopping of some kind that rounds things out nicely. There is a subtle yeastiness to the malts that keeps one interested.
Taste The darkish malts step things up big time at the taste. They are big and bitter and littered with coffee grounds. The light leafy hops actually manage to smooth things out here.
Mouthfeel This medium-bodied ale has some light carbonation and is very bitter.
Drinkability This is a deep, serious Brown Ale that demands respect. It went down nicely and I would easily buy again.

3.98/5 rDev +8.7%
Appearance: 12 oz bottle with no freshness markings. Pours a dark brown with some tawny hues when backlit. Very little light comes through this beer. The head is creamy and sits for a long time before thinning. Swirling also revives a nice, smooth head.
Smell: Very malty, toasted malts, chocolate malt, anise and grass.
Taste: Very roasty and tangy with a rich malty base. Very sweet with a mild spicing of cloves and pepper. Sandy with some dried cranberry and raisin flavors anda bit of red apple. Some floral hop flavor pops in at the end with faintly bitter ending. The aftertaste is very bready and sweet.
Mouthfeel: Light to medium bodied with a slightly watery feel. Smooth without any stickiness.
Drinkability: This is a tasty brown ale and breaks from other winter beers by being neither overly spiced nor terribly sweet. I like this beer in the winter or any other time. It's a solid offering from good brewery.

Served out of a bottle, poured into a pint glass.
Pours very dark, much like a porter, with nice fluffy 1.5 finger head. It is slightly sticky, but the lacing isn't overy impressive. But still it is a very nice looking beer. Initial smell is strong in fruits, raspberry maybe, and some toasted malts. Taste is bready, with fruit backing. Not much hop present. Mouthfeel is full and rich. Perfect amount of carbonation.
This is probably my favorite Butte Creek beer. Well done.

3.88/5 rDev +6%
Appearance: Quite something, this. Very deep true brown with a dense, massive, foamy head with great retention. Didn't see that coming. Honestly, I'm not sure if this head is a good or bad thing. I say good; but I'm gonna cut a notch off the score because it might be a case of carb gone crazy -- it may not be intentional.
Smell:Spicy hop, dense toffee malt and yeast combine into a nice spiced caramel apple.
Taste: Pretty good. Hops are MUCH more bitter than the scent would suggest, but are countered (beaten down?) nicely by thick, roasty, dark chocolate malt and buttery toffee flavors and a tangy apple tartness.
Mouthfeel: I actually like it quite a bit; syrupy, but the carbonation is remarkably (too?) strong and drags it back to the lively zone. Works for me.
Drinkability: I like it, but it's such a glassful of contrasts that I think one is enough. It's sort of like a sea urchin in a sense, with flavors and textures shooting out in all directions. It's good, but I can't help but wonder if some of this was an accident.

Our local distributor ordered way too much of this beer and had to sell it basically at cost. Thus, my store was selling it at $3.95/6pk, or cheaper than Budweiser.
Pours a deep amber hue, topped by a wisp of creamy white head that remains floating on top for a while. Very appealing aroma of sweet roasted malt, with huge notes of vanilla bean, bourbon whisky, and light chocolate. Palate is more of the same - nice, sweet roasted malt accented by mild bittering hops, along with notes of vanilla, pepper, and a faint hint of clove. Good, sturdy body lingers on the palate, helping to keep this tasty beer a slow-sipper. Tasty, and almost unbeatable for the (current) price.

The color a deep lucent brown, the head presentable in size, spumescent in texture, and a winsome light tan in color, lace is sufficient to cover the glass. Nose is caramel, sweet malt, crisp and pleasing with very light hints of toasted grain, sweet malt laden start, top is moderate in its feel. Finish is prickly in its carbonation; hops are upfront and pleasant in their spiciness, quite dry aftertaste, a nice drinkable beer that shows up here about every other year?

Pours a dark brown with ruby highlights, and an off white head that dissipates quickly. The aroma has some toasted bread, blackstrap molasses, spices, floral hops, chestnuts and hazelnuts and some roasted malts. The flavor starts out with roasted malts and toasted bread, followed by some blackstrap molasses, spices, spicy and floral hops, hazelnut and chestnut, nutmeg and cinammon. The mouthfeel is a shade lighter than medium with moderate carbonation and good drinkability. An enjoyable winter brown ale.

12oz brown bottle pours a dark copper ale with a half-inch thick almond head. Good carbonation and very little lacing, the head fades quickly.
Burnt toasty malt and caramel are the stand-outs with this warmer. After notes of toffee and nuts come into play. Not much in the hop dept. makes it through the sweet, malty nose.
To the tongue, sweet malts stand out, then give way to a nice roasted nut flavor (almond, pecan and hazelnut come to mind). The burnt malty smell translates to a somewhat smokiness in taste, not cloying however. All in all, it's a very "nutty" brown ale...style suited.
Not to sure of the ABV, it's certainly well hidden. A pleasant easy to drink brown ale with a filling, creamy mouthfeel and a well balanced smooth finish...a bit like Pete's Wicked if you will...cheers!

Pours a clear deep chestnut brown colored ale with an ample tan head.
Smell is roasted malt and fruity, with a noticeable alcohol scents. Chocolate and vanilla scents with a little sourness and butterscotch too.
Taste is coffee and chocolate up front with a slight tangy flavor. Mild sweetness and a subtle bitterness. Slight metallic flavor, not strong and it is mostly an aftertaste and subtle. Mildly warming in the chest would guess alcohol is 7-9%
Mouthfeel is the one weakness here it is a bit watery.
Drinkability is good. Sort of basic but well executed and pleasant, mouthfeel might be a bit light for a winter beer

The bear on the label gives a thumbs up and a big grin and so far the pour is bearing this to be so (no pun intended..ok, i lied, it was). Decent head on top of a dark, light trapping, brown boody and accompanied by a sweet nose with coffee and roasted nut notes.
The taste is malty and nutty and well textured and finishes with a surprising kick of hops. Carbonation is a little off, especially at the finish, where the beer is completely flat. It is better balanced than a lot of brown ales I've had but the taste doesn't quite do it for me and I wouldn't choose this beer for a session unlesss choices were pretty thin.

Russet brown body with ruby edges and a creamy light tan head. Caramel and molasses malt, nutty vanilla, and some hop spice make up the nose. Tastes of singed gingerbread malt. Nutmeg and vanilla spices throughout. Astringent/bitter hops strike early on the edges of the tongue. Malt turns soapy and cola sweet near the finish. Finish is licorice sweet and roasty/toasty bitter, and still kind of astringent and grassy. Not bad, but not a great winter ale.

Ok new offering 2003 Winter Ale..has big brown bear on label holding beer and giving thumbs up..cant beat that!
Well says this is a "chesnut brown "ale..its actually a lot darker..dark garnet in colour in fact ( almost like a Scotch ale)..with a small tan coloured head..I would have given the appearance an extra ).% had this not been out of style.
Pleasant but weakish aroma of malts ..milky , creamy scent also.
Nice enough tasste of the sweet malts..mild hop below..smooth
This is strange on the palate..its creamy and smooth and at the same time well carbonated..weird.
A nice drinkable ale..not excellent..but a good enough to quaff a few I dare say.

Pours an opaque, dark brown ("chestnut brown", according to the label- ok by me, but I can't tell the difference) with a medium tan head thta quickly drops to a nothing cover. Aroma is sweet, malty, some slight winter spice-pleasant, but nothing sticks its head up and begs to take note.
Flavor is a hit of winter spices (there they are!) backed by some hops at the end of the swallow. Some malty, creamy feel, but the spices are the main event here (as they should be).
Full-bodied, nice pleasant drink. This is an alright beer, but to be honest, I'm not a big fan of the style.

2006 Vintage.
Poured a medium brown hue with an incredible 7 finger foamy tan head. There was good retention and lacing. The beer was nearly impossible to pour because of the incredible head.
The smell featured a lightly sweet grainy malt with some smoky traces.
The taste was rather well balanced with an upfront soft sweetness that faded into a clean nuttiness.
The mouthfeel was of average fullness with some cloying sweetness at the start. Overly carbonated in my opinion.
Overall a decent brown ale.

This was an ok beer, but nothing to write home about. I bought it and all the other Winter beers that I could down here in SC a few weeks ago. I am slowly making my way through the beers and this one didn't really stand out from the lot. The smell was pretty good, with hints of roasted malts, some various spices, and cherries. The taste was similar, but more in the area of the roasted malts. It does get better as the beer warms up, but still nothing too exciting. Another notch in the preverbial "bed post" I guess.

A dark brown brew with a good tan head that grows with agitation. Aroma is molasses and cocoa with some coffee beans. Taste has a little luke-warm coffee taste to it with a bit of sweetness like chocolate syrup. An OK burnt coffee bitterness at the end.
A solid brew that sits well on a cold night, but I was hoping for something a little sweeter, which would have matched the smell.

The beer poured into the glass highly carbonated with a 1/2 liquid, 1/2 foam slightly hazy brown appearance and a brownish tight bubbled head which lasted for days.
The aroma was nutty and grassy through the extra high head. As the head retreated aromas of chocolate began to emerge alongside the grassy and nutty characteristics.
The flavor was nutty with a grassy and lightly menthol hop character. Chocolate was present as was a light orange citrus fruit. An odd mix of chocolate, nuttiness, citrus, grass and menthol coupled with a lightly vegetal flavor.
The finish was dry with lasting grass, menthol and vegetal. The body was medium with a huge carbonation level that made the beer difficult to consume through all the belches. An odd mix of flavors.
12 ounce bottle.

What Marvel character would I not love to get on? That's an easier question to answer. I would love any of it and I love Marvel, Joss and what they're doing. It's all about finding the right fit. Directing…in order to do your job right, you have to find ways to make it personal, and if we can find the right fit, then I would love to do it.
You're talking to a guy who had quotes from Daredevil painted on his wall while growing up. Even when I was 18, I still had the blood red door with the, 'I have shown him that a man without hope is a man without fear.' That was what I loved and so it's the sort of thing that if we can find the right project, I would love to do it.
"I'm a fairly worldly guy. I grew up in a very liberal place. I'm not saying we had a playroom, but I'm not shocked by [the sex in the book]. It's essential to tell the story. I can't believe films that don't invoke the sexual side of it. So it works for me."
"Every time someone came onscreen, she'd say out loud, 'Who's that?' Then an assistant would fill her in," says our source. "She even asked, 'Is that Jennifer Lawrence?,' which is weird considering she was probably watching the movie in preparation for an interview."
"She couldn't understand any of the plot twists and would ask 'What's going on?' every five seconds. It was crazy. Even when characters reappeared on screen after having shown up 20 minutes earlier, she'd be like, 'Who's that?'"

While on our pool purchasing expedition to Woodbridge, I decided to stop at a Shell station and fill up the gas guzzling XTerra. I wasn't exactly on empty, but I have this odd quirk in which I must fill up my gas tank if the needle shows that I only have a quarter of a tank left. Otherwise, I might end up stranded on some country road in the middle of nowhere, waiting for AAA to bring me a couple gallons of gasoline that would enable me to drive say, five miles or so. Not that I do a lot of driving through the middle of nowhere, as I most often use the SUV to pick up my drycleaning.
Anyways, I pull up next to a pump and start to fill up the XTerra with $55 worth of that wonderful product known as gasoline. The lady at the pump in front of me leaves, and I am now the only customer at the Shell station. Until, that is, two guys in a beat up Toyota pick up pull up right behind me and just sit there, as if they were waiting for me to leave so they could fill up their truck. I glance around at the five empty pumps and exchange a "WTF?" look with Jamie. A minute or so goes by (yep, still filling up, gotta big tank) and the driver of the Toyota finally pulls into the pump in front of me, as if he's suddenly realized that there are, in fact, multiple gas pumps. The best part, though, was this dude's parking job. Classic.
Nice dent

Dear all,
It is known that all of your customers, including me, want to have the direct and available contact with the available phone numbers in this site.
Please confirm this whenever called from wherever and whoever.
I have tried yesterday two times with the first phone number I have picked from the site and no response.I have picked only (011) 371.1002 which I felt enough.
I will try with the others to get information Today and consecutive.
Couldn't find any info on visa requirements. No one answers the freakin phone and no one responds to the emails either. Is it just an empty house inhabited by ghosts???
Good Morning I am trying to get hold of someone in either the South African Embassy in Ethiopia or the Ethiopian Embassy in South Africa. This is quite urgent. can you please let me know how do i get hold of someone.
An Ethiopian worker was humiliated in racism acts by her South African citizen white boss here in Ethiopia. Do the Embassy has any role to investigate the case if it is reported?

Plans are under way to make sure schools in Newtown are safer.
On Thursday night, the board of education approved more than 24 new school security cameras that were donated by a business called Advanced Security Technologies.
The owner said that if all goes according to plan, 30 news state-of-the-art security cameras will be installed at all Newtown schools by the end of next week.
A keyless entry system will also be installed at the new Sandy Hook Elementary School in Monroe.

Quick question about downgrading to an earlier iOS version
Im currently at the Genius Bar and might possibly be given a new iPhone for a hardware issue I have. Problem is, its bound to have the latest update.
Ive never updated my current OS past 6.1. Would I be able to restore from iTunes and downgrade from 6.1.4 if the phone were to get replaced? If not, I might just pass on getting the phone replaced. The tethering app I use from Cydia is way too important for work.

Liverpool and Sunderland played to a 1-1 draw at the Stadium of Light in a match that resembled an unimpressive sandwich. The two goals, one from each side, were the plain meat and cheese smashed between two large pieces of boredom parading as bread.
It took roughly 30 minutes of drab football before Sunderland opened the scoring. Craig Gardner turned Glen Johnson in circles and raced in towards goal before sending a cross right across Pepe Reina's net that found Steven Fletcher who coolly finished. Fletcher had fought off Martin Skrtel for the inside position and there's nothing Reina could do to prevent the goal.
Liverpool looked better in the second half with Glen Johnson and Steven Gerrard both managing to hit the post and Skrtel forcing an excellent save from Sunderland keeper Simon Mignolet. It took awhile, but Liverpool finally did find the back of the net in the 71st minute. Raheem Sterling's cross pin-balled in the box before dropping to Luis Suarez who scored the equalizer. The goal was a deserved reward for 25 plus minutes of solid attack in the second half from the Reds.
Not the most inspiring play from either side, but a draw is a fair result though Liverpool were the more dangerous attacking side, especially in the second half.
