I want to edit the css of the menu, but not everything is in css some of it comes from js. Where can I edit the float of the li tag?
P.S. Your support forum – don't find the Almera theme to open a question there…
Actually – problem solved… it's located in custom.js…
Glad to hear that! Thanks!
Beautiful template! Good job! I like to buy it, but before i want to know if it would be possible to put a description to an image when i open the image. E.g. – when i click the menu item "Gallery/3 Columns" and i hover the mouse over an image the description appears. But when i click onto the image to enlarge it, there is no more description. I would like to have also a description there. Possible?
Hi there,
Thanks for your interest in one of our products, we really appreciate that! Regarding your question:
The answer is "YES", there is an opportunity to do that just by adding a title to each image in the code.
Regards, Alex
Hi, I purchased the template but how does the comments work for the blog? It's not working right now. Do I have to create a MySQL database for this?
Hi there,
That's not possible with site template, which you've purchased without some custom php work. Cause that's static site template, which doesn't work with MySQL. Our wordpress theme is coming soon for this template where it would be possible to have comments on posts.
Regards, Alex

I've tried changing one of the pages to a php extension (e.g. about.html to about.php) and updated the reference to this page on index.html, but when I click the link (or if I type the direct URL to the about.php page in the address bar), it just takes me back to index.html
Is there some restriction on not being able to use php pages in this design?
No, there is no any restriction on file type. You just need to check custom.js file to change there also your file names. Please let us know if you have any other question.
Regards, Alex
I would like to have a title and description for the full sized images. Alex mentions above that you do this by "adding a title to each image in the code". Could you be more specific? where "in the code"? is this done with an alt tag or a class – need a little more detail

How do I point the blog link to an external blog? I keep changing the href link on the index.html file but it doesn't go to the specified website.

Regards, Alex
Alex I have registered previously with your support system. It has not helped answer this question. Is this not an easy question to answer?
If you use a default template version, you could use an usual way of linking, in case you're using Ajax version we'll need to ask our developers regarding the way of linking. That's why I asked you to register in our support system. Please let me know how long have you been waiting for a response from our support team?
I'm using the html template and noticed the first accordion section on the features page is always expanded when the page loads – how can I set the CSS to collapse all accordion sections when the page loads?
Hi there,
Thanks for using one of our template, we really appreciate that! As you can know the accordion works only the way as it is on a demo. The one you want to get usually called as a "toggle" or "FAQ". There is one other thing there, it's not done with a css (I mean the effect), but with some help of JavaScript. In any way the thing you want to reach needs some code customization. Unfortunately we do not do any for our customers neither for free nor for money. Sorry for any inconveniences.
Regards, Alex
Hello congratulations for your template, I want to buy your site, but I have a problem when I look at the template with the Iphone, when I click a picture, you can see this one in a scroll, and when i scroll the image is every were white.

Hi there,
Thanks for your interest in purchasing one of our products, we really appreciate that! Could you please let us know the iPhone version you are using? And if it's possible to provide us with a screenshot of what you see?
Regards, Alex
Hi Alex,
I have an iPhone 4s with the iOS 6.1.3 version… but I tested on an Android and the problem is the same. Once you click on the image I can see the image but the scroll is very long downwards in white…. and I would like not to see that… just the image fixed in a window. I have uploaded three images so you can have an idea…http://thefonz.it/themeforest/screenshot-1.jpg http://thefonz.it/themeforest/screenshot-2.jpg http://thefonz.it/themeforest/screenshot-3.jpg
best regards
Thanks for your feedback, we've already defined the same and added it to a list for our next theme release.
Very nice theme..Just a quick question. The theme suddenly now telling 'your page is in French. Translate to english?' Is that anything to do with the theme?
There is nothing to do, except customization. It seems you're using Google Chrome and it suggests you to translate the page
If I want the site to begin with an epic slider rather than the default home. How would I do that or is it a matter of just changing home5.html to home and vice versa?
Hi Chris,
Yes, your right. You could replace the names and that's it.
Regards, Alex
Photographers love the color black – but it's beautiful I had not seen this beautiful template – it was great to be designed in two colors: black and white
thanks for preload image
Thanks for your suggestion! We'll take care about that in one of our future releases for sure.
Hi and thanks for your great job! I was wondering were is the responsive css part? I'm having issues with the nav as long as I've changed the code for wide screens. Can't figure out were Is it… A little help would be awesome! Thanks and good luck for the sales http://2.envato-static.com/assets/smileys/grin-5f7c72bae94b93b2f4be36971faa186e.png
Hi there,
Usually all the responsive styles are in css/layout.css, please check.

So, congrats to the Cardinals for rather easily taking care of the Tigers. There's one question that keeps running through my mind as I sit here contemplating their victory; what do they have that the Braves don't have?
They had starting pitching problems (no Mulder, bad Marquis).
They had bullpen problems (Izzy giving way to Wainwright).
They have a scrappy lead-off guy, so do we.
They have an MVP-type middle of the order player, so do we.
They have solid role players or All-Stars at every position, so do we.
Was their team that much better than the Braves, or were they just a bit more lucky? It just makes me scratch my head. Thoughts...

If this is stupid, please take it easy on me...but I was just thinking.
McDyess, Grant Hill and Anfernee Hardaway (not comparing talents) had similar spells of multiple injuries putting them on the shelves for multiple seasons. Redd is a talent, and a 3-point shooting talent. He is a remarkable locker room guy and someone who will command less $ because of risk. Its a proven fact that Arnie Kander is a miracle worker. This could be a good low-risk gamble on the court...and a guaranteed win off the court.
What say ye?

I will get us there safe, friends
No thanks
A guy at a princess store in Disneyland was asking me if I related to Merida in any way and I was like
"I don't know man. I'm more of an Elinor."
And he busted out laughing.
What I love most about this movie is that shows that being a princess is not wearing a beautiful dress, marrying a prince and live happily ever after, but a job, a hard job with duties and responsibilities were a lot of people depend on you
being the Lady of a medieval estate was SUCH AN IMPORTANT FUCKING JOB AND SO FUCKING FULL OF HARD WORK WHICH MEDIEVAL MEN ACKNOWLEDGED TBH
(one problem with perception of medieval gender roles is that most of the people who were writing, especially those who were writing HISTORY, were CLERGYMEN who had never been married and lived in a weird situation cut off from the way the rest of the world worked and had like no actual life experience with the real world - and then popular culture's idea of it has been heavily informed by VICTORIAN choices of who and what to translate and popularize)
upper class medieval women were expected to run and manage the entire estate that they got from their husband (or that they already had in their own right through inheritance or as their marriage portion), a job which was acknowledged as being way difficult and requiring a wife with strength and fortitude and business sense if you wanted to be a successful person
they were the HR managers of households that might have over a hundred people in, and tho a duchess or a queen would certainly not go to the store to do the household shopping, and she probably had a steward to assist her, it was ultimately her responsibility to know what things were needed for that household, to make sure that the appropriate people obtained those things, to oversee the use of the household materials, to make sure that EVERYTHING got done so that ALL those people could live and work smoothly. they wrote letters and managed the business of the estate and networked with other members of the nobility for both important game-of-thrones political reasons and for smaller more personal reasons like 'that guy has a really nice deer chase, so if i send him some marmalade from our garden, he might send some venison back as a return gift"
even in lower class households mom managed everything and women were basically considered to be shrewder and have better heads for that particularly kind of business than men and choosing a wise wife was the best thing you could do for yourself as a man who intended to be successful
they were like hands-on CEOs and shit yo and don't get me wrong society was sexist as fuck and they were limited as hell in what they could do and everything was classist beyond belief but no way was being a noblewoman just a matter of sitting up a tower looking pretty & the contributions that they made are so important
also, the ladies of castles were responsible for defense when their husband was away at war (which happened a lot), so while personally participating in battle was unusual (though not entirely unheard-of) they did often find themselves in strategic command. and in wartime they frequently functioned as a sort of de facto logistics officer.
oh, and has anyone mentioned diplomacy. because an arranged marriage is only the START of a princess's diplomatic career. the alliance she forges with her marriage is one she's responsible for maintaining her entire life. unless she decides to go ahead and take over the country; that's been an option too from time to time. :D
suddenly i really want to see a disney movie about a princess AFTER the wedding — forging a political bond with her new husband, defending the castle, sending troops and supplies to make sure he comes home from the war, reading secret reports from her spies in the enemy's court… *swoon*

Jane is sleep-tackling Aranea. Doesn't anybody else think that's cool as hell?
Her body's just being puppeted around by the Condesce though.
Yeah, Pretty much. Although, if anyone /really/ thought about it, and took the crown off of Jane's head, she'd probs go back to a normal, if not confused and disoriented state.
Hades and Persephone

can someone explain this god damn american government thing i keep hearing about it wtf
the ministry has fallen. scrimgeour is dead. they are coming
Sadly, no. More like Lucius Malfoy is throwing a hissyfit about the fact that Muggleborn might be let into St. Mungo's. Not that he goes to St. Mungo's. He has a personal physician, doncha know.
This is what I like to do with my free time.
Science, get on this. Catowls look like wonderful pets.
instead of hairballs they will give you pellets, which in turn would become educational fun for the children in your life
You realize this is what baby griffins would look like, right?
What the fuck? Whitewashing? It's a danish fairy tale! You can't just throw in diversity for the sake of it. It has to make sense, thats like if people were like "Why are there only Chinese people in Mulan?" Because it takes place in fucking China before anyone immigrated there!
"typical light hair, fair skinned, blue eyes" The only other Disney princesses that fits that description all the way would be Cinderella and Aurora. The only other one close is Rapunzel. Disney does extremely well with making the animated princesses fit the time period and area they are from. Let me show you a thing.
Alright this is Snow White. The whole reason this is her name is because her skin was as white as the fucking snow. She had hair as black as a raven. And lips as red as a rose. Snow White was originally a GERMAN fairytale. Ya know what color they are in Germany? White….
Now this bitch right here is Cinderella. This movie was made in 1950. Ya know what was going on in 1950? Segregation. So I doubt that in 1950 they would make some black fairytale princess considering Walt Disney was white and all the employees at Disney were white, and I'm sorry but in the 1950's all the white people were racists. Yes, Walt Disney was fucking racist. But that's because of when he grew up and how things were. He was actually a pretty loving and kind man and I'm sure that he would've had an open mind to ending segregation if he had grew up different. FYI Cinderella is French. French people be white.
This chick right here. Her name is Aurora. Her movie was made in 1969. There were still racist little bastards then. But ya know what, she's also freaking French. And in her original fairytale her hair was the color of sunshine gold, and lips that shamed the red red rose.
Now meet Ariel. She is often times many people's favorite cause she's fun and quirky and her hair looks like a fucking fire truck. Her fairytale is Danish. Danish people are white. The Danish fairytale though? It's actually based off of stories sailors told of seeing this girl with bright red hair and the tail of a fish. Idk, but have you ever seen a naturally red headed black woman. Cause I haven't….
Now Belle here is the frenchiest of the French. Her story is actually based in France. Not just a nice fairytale that was made in France. Again, French people are white. But you see light hair on her. No. She is brunette! And she has brown eyes. Nuff said.
Now this…. this is Jasmine. She is not white, she does not have light hair, and she does not have light eyes. She is brown. And beautifully so. And she's not so sweet and fragile either. She is independent and don't need no man.She is Arabic and she looks like it. I don't see any white washing here. See this is where white washing would ACTUALLY come into play. If they made Princess Jasmine, based off of Princess Badroulbadour from an Arabic folk tale, and made her white. A white girl in Agrabah. Nope.
My personal favorite. Pocahontas. Again. No white washing. She is nice and brown, and has nice Indian features. Thing about her? She was a real lady. In fact her sequel actually told her story better than the first one.
Meet mulan. She's Chinese. She saved China. Nuff said.
This lovely lady is Tiana. She made a lot of ground as being the first black Disney Princess. She was from New Orleans. She's american. This movie was based in the 1920's and they did her right because she was a waitress, working 3 jobs just to make a few dollars a day. She lived in the slums/the ghetto with all the other colored folk. They kept it right to the time period they were representing but they also made her fa-boo!
Now this chicky is my girl punzy. She is the first Disney Princess since 1991 that was white. I think 20 years time is a good amount of time to bring in another white Princess. Disney had wanted to do Rapunzel for a long time. She's one of the classic fairytale princesses. Everyone know who this chick was, but there was no Disney movie about her. The reason why they didn't she make her movie in the 90's was because she was white. She was just another, golden haired, fair skinned, damsel in distress. I am soooo happy they waited on this one too. Cause after being in the works for so long they took this story about a chick with long hair being rescued by a Prince, and they made her this barefoot, rebellious, bad-ass, sweetheart, that was magical and already a Princess. In fact her "prince" wasn't a prince. He was a thief. And the coolest thing, so that she wasn't just a typical blonde princess, they cut off her hair and it turned brown. So now she's this edgy but sweet brunette, short-haired, girl. Also, the original fairytale is German, so Disney stayed true to it's roots and kept her in a German setting.
This is Princess Merida. She is Scottish. Technically white. But still not just some American accent, blonde, white girl. She made a big leap in the Princess world because unlike all the others who are all strong too, she didn't even find love in the movie. Who knows, maybe they'll make a sequel a few years later where she's older and more grown up and she gets married. Fun fact, Brave is loosely based around Scottish folklore of King Fergus.
So yeah, white washing would be if they made the beautiful ethnic ladies here just white. Alot of fairytales come from mainly white countries. Disney is just trying to tell a good story. Maybe they should look more into some Arabic fairytales, maybe some African ones. But all they're doing is staying true to stories and lands.
I love you.
The townspeople of Oakville, Washington, were in for a surprise on August 7, 1994. Instead of their usual downpour of rain, the inhabitants of the small town witnessed countless gelatinous blobs falling from the sky. Once the globs fell, almost everyone in Oakville started to develop severe, flu-like symptoms that lasted anywhere from 7 weeks to 3 months. Finally, after exposure to the goo caused his mother to fall ill, one resident sent a sample of the blobs for testing. What the technicians discovered was shocking – the globs contained human white blood cells. The substance was then brought to the State Department of Health of Washington for further analysis. With another startling reveal, they discovered that the gelatinous blobs had two types of bacteria, one of which is found in the human digestive system. However, no one could successfully identify the blob, and how they were connected to the mysterious sickness that plagued the town.
WHAT THE FUCKI live 15 minutes from Oakville. O_O
I looked into this story and it checked out.
All Hail the Glow Cloud.

I love the sophistication of this dress. It shows that you don't have to show a lot of skin (super short, strapless dresses) in order to look sexy for those who are more conservative or feel uncomfortable in those types of dresses. Jovani definitely appeals to a wide array of tastes and preferences. Beautiful gown as always, Jovani.

text: The suburb of Henley Brook takes its name from one of the earliest named areas in Western Australia. In March 1827, Captain Stirling was exploring the Swan River and when he reached the extremity of navigable water for their long boat, he made a close inspection of the country. Stirling named an area near Upper Swan "Henley Park" and this name was used as a property name in 1830 by W H Mackie and F C Irwin when they settled here. A brook flowing though the property was recorded as Henley Brook in 1842 and this name was approved as the suburb name in 1972.

Prayer Before Wedding Photo Goes Viral
Holding true to their vow not to see each other on their wedding day before they walked up the aisle of the church, Bre and Josh Curtas of Virginia, united in prayer before the ceremony. The photo has gone viral twice already this wedding season.
Moments before the wedding began, Josh suggested they hold hands from chairs placed around the corner from one another and pray for their marriage.
That commitment will carry them through many days ahead whether they be joyous or sorrowful. In the society in which we now live, it is rare, indeed, to see this love and with such a beautiful story BEHIND the picture, I felt it needed to be shared."- Photographer Kimberly Burke
Bre wrote in her blog:
My husband prayed that God would bless our marriage, that through thick or thin together we would never lose hope in one another. That instead of focusing on each others' imperfections we would always rely on Christ's perfection. That we would wake up every day and choose to love one another not through our own strength but by the power of Christ's perfect love."
The couple also made the decision to not have sex until after they were married.
Parents have been sharing this photo with their own children who are dating or engaged to be married. It serves as a powerful reminder to enter into marriage with the right God-centered attitude, compassion, and mutual respect for one another.
Thank you Josh and Bre, for setting the standard by which young couples should enter holy matrimony.

Santee Christmas Bird Count - One of the most popular Christmas Bird Counts (CBC) in South Carolina, this survey includes the entire Santee National Wildlife Refuge, the town of Summerton, the town of Santee, and the Santee State Park. This one-day bird survey will generally result in over 130 species seen. Part of the Audubon organized event which takes place across North and South America, 2011 is the 112th year of this count, which has helped reserchers document shifts in migratory bird populations due to a changing climate.

Getting A Home Appraised Before You Buy
In real estate marketing today, we are facing terrible times specifically with the bizarre amount of foreclosures occurring there is an abrupt need to reevaluate the equal market value of property and also the current enviroment of the property.
Recently, there have been a few adjustments within the real estate appraisal idustry such as a mandate for lenders to use appraisal management companies, for example LVJ Appraisal Management Company, by 2009.
Our company takes a stride forward by offering a combined service of appraising and inspecting the property. Appraiser's survey the assess of the property opposing a home inspector observe and report the rank of the property.
Regardless the buyer generally pays for the appraisal, it is by law the property of the lender and abide with that loan file for the duration of that loan even if it's sold on the secondary money market.
Warnings have been said in the past and as a result there are some appraisers that inflate the value of the property. LVJAMC workers' appraiser's with an unbiased approach so that the integrity of that appraisal will remain even after the loan has been sold.
LVJAMC also has certified home inspectors that will thoroughly check all the systems of the home and recommend the necessary repairs.
We take a twofold approach that exceeds today's standards, and we do it without any conflict of interest: an appraisal has to do with the loan and is required by the lender before making the loan on the property compared to the home inspection being something that is usually requested by a home owner, buyer, or agent .

September 3, 2004 Albany-- Hurricane Frances may prove to be catastrophic for much of Florida. As hundreds of thousands of people pour into Georgia and Alabama, there is an economic ripple effect.
The retail and restaurant district of Northwest Albany is always busy, but it is even busier than normal Friday. The evacuees are here and the employees at places like the Cracker Barrel and Golden Corral are meeting a lot of them.
I talked to the chamber today and they said evacuees are asking for lists of restaurants and they want to know where to find Sam's Club and Super Wal-Mart.
We didn't have to go far in the WalMart Parking lot before we started
seeing Florida license plates- some from as far away as West Palm Beach. The evacuees we talked to say they come expecting to spend money. "There's nothing else to do, So we've been going to all the stores, finding things that we left behind," said Florida Evacuee Ricki Schiffman.
These evacuations must be expensive for them between hotel bills, three meals a day and even entertainment. But as far as businesses here are concerned, these next several days will be great ones for their cash registers.
Some restaurant employees say their lunch business doubled today because of business from evacuees.

A - pours a slightly hazy orange amber color, fluffy off white head, some circular lacing
S - tart lemon, key lime, farmhouse style yeast, bit of cracked black pepper
T - tart, almost green apple, definitely lemony, back of the palette is pretty dry and slightly bitter, want more spice characteristics
M - good carbonation for the style, high side of light bodied, crisp
D - they make another springhouse ale that has a higher ABV, would like to get 2 of those bottles (one to drink, one to age), only had one of these though, held up rather well, towards the end the alcohol shows up a bit more

on tap at the big hunt - pretty stoked to have a local saison on what turned out to be a night of saisons
cell phone notes
appearance: served in a standard pint - rich amber body (is this the right beer?). light beige cap
smell: big and bready - minimal saison funk
taste: well well. probably the worst saison this side of Lazy Mutt. This was truly not drinkable for the style - tasted more like a jacked up (bad) american amber. a girl at the table noticed we werent drinking it and tried/loved it. that was the final indication that this was that bad. very little saison traits, and from the sounds of it 3 years old
mouthfeel: WAY too heavy
drinkability: not

Pours a hazy gold into a pint glass from my growler. This was kegged only about a week ago, so its still quite fresh.
A- Freshly mown lawn, hops, a summer's day.
T- Bitter hops, with a funky, undefinable taste to follow. Certainly unique, intriguing, and worthwhile.
M- Smooth, with just the right carbonation.
O- I had this last year in the bottle, but this year's version on tap is even tastier. A really refreshing beer, and as I mentioned previously, very unique. I'm really starting to love saisons, and this is a fine example of the versatility of the style.

Thanks to a good BA, guinnessfan, for this 650 mL bomber, number 1963 of 2008. Bottle 2 of my night of saisons.
A: The saison is a darker amber color, a coupla' hues lighter than its bottle. The fuller darkness leaves the ale opaque. A small head, practically nonexistent after a few minutes, doesn't leave any lace.
S: The nose is pretty malty, lacking the wild essence of a saison (in its defense, it is labelled as an American farmhouse ale). The strength is reminiscent of a strong ale, which was its original designation. Cereal grains and some sugary sweetness fight for the spotlight.
T: The strength of the ale reveals a strong fruity depth. Sweetness mixes with in-your-face cereal grains. Apples and green grapes appear prominently, driving the mid-sip flavlor. The finish is sweeter, sugary with a mild anise aftertaste. Some funkiness runs below the surface, not tart but enough to remind you that it is there. An interesting ale that can't quite make up its mind between strong ale and saison.
M: The mouthfeel is at once dry & fruity and sweet & tart. Its strength is much better suited for colder weather.
D: The heaviness is evident, weighing down the drinkability. The fruit flavors are a welcome complexity in the ale.

Pour is outstanding. A Murky gold with burnt orange hints and carbonation dancing around all over the place. A very tight, thick white head forms atop and leaves very thick intricate lacing. Very visually appealing beer.
Smell is a little soft. Very common smells for saisons come out. Barnyard funk, slight citrus, grass, and soil. Not bad, but nothing really stands out at all.
Taste is nice with a slight tartness at the beginning that fades to a citrus body and a nice dry finish.
Mouthfeel is creamy and a fairly heavy body. Very drinkable.
A middle of the pack saison that would find it's way to my fridge fairly often if it were available in my area.

Poured from the bottle into a tulip glass.
Deep orange colored body, quite opaque, but with a faint nice middle column of carbonation and some small slow rising white bubbles along the sides of the glass. Slight retention a bit for a three finger tall head, very soapy and off white in color.
Slight crisp yeast and farmhouse dryness bouquet. Sweet sucrose a bit and a sense of peanut butter. Somewhat floral, a little bit grassy, but there's a good note of malt sweetness getting more into Belgian strong ale than hinting a saison.
Palate comes out with Belgian character, but more muted saison qualities. Sweet orange and candied fruit, a light bodied palate that brings some honey notes. Virtually no funky quality and minimal dryness on the finish. Slightly wet palate, but surprisingly feels a little flat considering the well displayed and noticeable carbonation levels. Hints toward some nice peachy fruit also that isn't cloyingly sweet or syrupy thick.
It's not awful, but really not what I look for in this style. This really comes off more of just a decent Belgian Strong Ale. Good to know Alewerks still makes some other great things though.

new batch from Williamsburg
a: unibroue tulip, rich golden-orange in color, a voluminous head fills the glass and recedes very slowly, great retention
s: nose of delicate fruits - peach, apricot, becoming more grainy as it warms, nice sugar presence stays in check, lightly tropical with some ripe pineapple, orange, and flashes of banana, dusty yeast, hops bright and almost spicy
m: carbonation lively, a bit heavy for the style - ranging towards medium, but not really a detractor
t: pale malt body brings light-moderate sugars, sweet for a saison, and flavors of peach, banana, orange, and apricot before transitioning to a light spiciness and more grain in the middle, finishes bitter with a pulpy citrus hop flavor
d: no problem, a nice little saison and much better than recent tastings of the old version with mr. lou

3.96/5 rDev +12.2%
A: This beer poured a hazy golden light amber with a generous off white head. Good lacing and head retention.
S: Spicy notes with low floral hop aroma. The hops are not allowed to overpower the malt/wheat aroma from this saison. Citrusy, grapefruit and a wee peppery note are complimentary to this brew.
T: Much as the aroma belies, it has an upfront spicy floral and grapefruit and orange flavor with a background of wheat. It has a nice balance of sweet light malt with a low tart/tang of a pleasant citrus.
M: Medium light body with a medium high carbonation.
O: This is a great beer. I like the refreshing tartness and sublime fruit notes. All the ingredients are well balanced. If you're a fan of belgians and witbier this will be a favorite. I'd buy a case of this.

Poured out of a 750 mL bottle, into an Alewerks snifter (came in the gift set).
A: Hazy golden-orange color, beautiful color in the glass. Fizzy head, diminished almost immediately, no lacing.
S: The scent is very mild. Smells like citrus, and mild apple scents overlaid with a straw scent.
T: Citrus fruits with pear and mild cherries in the front, quickly takes on an herbal and floral character. Finishes with a slight sourness, but nothing that overshadows the earlier flavors.
M: The mouthfeel is light, with a bit of carbonation that makes up for the lightness of the body. Easy drinker.
O: It is sold as a saison, but probably not a great example of one by style. As a beer it is tasty, and enjoyable to drink.

I had this at the November Baltimore BA tasting. Served from the bottle into a tasting snifter.
Appearance: The beer pours a clear amber color with a layer of off white head that fades to a ring around the pour.
Smell: This one reminds me of a hefe. Light sweet malt, bright and a touch fruity. I'm getting some alcohol as well.
Taste: There is a light fruity sweetness. I'm getting some banana along with a mild citrus presence. There is just a touch of bitterness in the taste, but it fades towards the finish.
Mouthfeel: The body is medium with aggressive carbonation and a finish that's a bit dry.
Overall: There is enough going on to keep you interested, but it's not super impressive. I think I'd pass on having more.

22oz bomber, 2010 release, from grape & gourmet. pours a gorgeous orange-gold with a massive, creamy, white head leaving thick sheets of lace. aroma is very nice with big, crisp fruit notes of pear, apricot, and green apple skins with hints of red grape backed by belgian yeast, spice notes of coriander and clove and touches of wheatgrass and dry malts. flavor is pretty tasty with sweet, slightly dry fruit notes of apple, pear, and white grape up front backed by dry, slightly funky, yeasty, dark bread, light spice, wet grass, and earthy hops. palate is medium bodied with big carbonation and a dry, herbal yet fruity finish. overall, a tast belgian strong from geoff and the alewerks boys.

Purchased a 22oz at the brewery. First off, the bottle and label were beautiful. Very nice. The appearance on an aggressive pour was fluffy head, nice bubbles and a cloudy yellow appearance. The smell was all saison funkiness. Some citrus as well. Taste was funk-a-rific as well. Nice farmhouse saison. I could tell this wasn't from a big brewery since some of the flavors were off a little bit. would love to have on tap.

Forrest appeared on MMA Tonight and gave his opinion on the highly surprising Sonnen-Jones match-up for The Ultimate Fighter(transcribed by MMAfighting.com):
Griffin, whose status on the year-end card is unclear at the time of this writing, offered his response to the TUF announcement to Ariel Helwani on UFC Tonight.
"I'm not mad at him," Griffin said, referencing Sonnen. "Why fight your way to the top when you can talk your way to the top?"
I would be surprised if this wasn't the reaction most other up and coming people have. I am curious to see reactions from other fighters especially the light heavyweights close to a title shot. Sports are supposed to be a meritocracy. An athlete/team is supposed to get what they have by winning. This completely goes against that. I'm sure the fighters who have collected skulls of other light heavyweights aren't happy that they got skipped over by someone so far back over something that had absolutely nothing to do with fighting.

Like so many people around the planet, I tuned into some Olympic action over the weekend. Ever since childhood, I have enjoyed watching events that do not usually grace the American sports airwaves and learning about other nations and cultures. For some reason, this time I've been paying attention to the "also-rans." You know, that person out in lane eight that's usually not in the camera, except at the start. What strikes me about it all is that while everyone shakes hands, pats backs and exhibits good sportsmanship, the Olympics, in a competitive sense, is one of the cruelest events on Earth. You either have what it takes or you don't. And winners aren't decided by tippy-toeing around the issueeven in the case of the gymnastics floor exercise. The reality is that you have to be the stone-cold best to win.
Besides the unusual and (as my English friend coined it) "very British" opening ceremony, the big news of the first few days of competition were the failings of a well-known swimmer and a major disappointing performance by a gymnast. It just goes to show you that those who were once considered the best eventually have bad days that could mark the end of their careers. Thinking about the let downs of a few well-known athletes and a Zacks.com customers question about stocks to sell gave me an idea. What are the big-name companies that have already peaked or are primed for a fall?
Be Careful with Big Name Stocks
Almost every stock that grows into a large market value began life with a small market value (or at least that's the way it used to be before the mega IPOs). As the corporation brought desired products or services to the marketplace, it became more and more profitable. As profits grew, investors began to notice and purchased the stock. After many years of this cycle of success, the company eventually matured into a big player in the corporate world and its market cap increased as well.
However, as both the Olympics and the stock market illustrate, if you're near the top, sometimes there's no other place to go but down. If the company stagnates and fails to innovate, or becomes susceptible to competition, a mature company will begin to decline. Because some well-known stocks will peak, it's a good idea to identify them before they begin to slip.
Avoid the Downside
Using the Zacks Research Wizard, I researched ways to recognize big-name companies before they underperformed. Since the Research Wizard contains hundreds of pieces of data for each company all at my finger-tips, it took me just a short while to discover a strategy that identified well-known companies that are "sell" or "short" candidates. Below are the results from a 10-year backtest that compares a strategy of those "biggies destined to collapse" alongside the S&P 500.
Here's one way to find "sell" candidates or stocks to short:
- First, the stock has to be a member of the S&P 500. (We want only the largest market cap companies.)
- Of the S&P 500 companies, select only those 50 with the largest market value. (We want to focus on the biggest of the big.)
- Add another filter by selecting only those stocks with a Zacks Rank greater than or equal to 3. (Any Zacks Rank of 3 or greater is expected to either be at or under market performance.)
- Next, pick the 20 stocks with the lowest Sales/Assets Ratio. (Remember we are looking for poor performance and one of the best indicators of this is a low Sales/Assets Ratio.)
- Finally, choose the 10 stocks with the highest Price-to-Sales Ratio. (A high Price/Sales is usually a sign the stock is overpriced and ready for a decline to bring the valuation back in line.)
Here are five of the ten stocks that passed the screen this week (8/03/12). Remember these are SELL candidates:
QCOM QUALCOMM Incorporated
QUALCOMM designs, develops, manufactures, and markets digital telecommunications products and services. This large cap stock has a Zacks Rank of 3, which isn't bad but not great either. Its Sales/Assets is 0.4, which is another fairly mediocre number. But what alarms me the most about this company is the P/S of 5.54. That means for every $1 of actual sales, you need to pay $5.54 for the pleasure of owning this company. Think this company is due for a major correction? I do too.
OXY Occidental Petroleum Corporation
Occidental Petroleum engages in the exploration and production of oil and gas properties in the United States and internationally. This company has experienced numerous downward revisions in earnings expectations for the next 3-4 quarters. That's never a good sign, and is the reason behind its awful Zacks Rank of a 5. If sales indeed soften up, the stock price of this company will surely follow suit.
KO The Coca-Cola Company
The Coca-Cola Company engages in the manufacture, marketing and sales of nonalcoholic, sparking and still beverages worldwide. This well-known company has seen its stock price approximately double over the last three years with little change to corporate fundamentals or profitability. When you see a strong, increasing price chart and a flat earnings trend, a little red flag should pop up. Also, this company has a poor Zacks Rank because of decreasing earnings prospects. It's P/S of 3.8 means that if a can of Coke costs $1, an investor could purchase the ownership of that $1 revenue for $3.80. That doesn't sound very refreshing.
AMGN Amgen Inc.
Amgen discovers, develops, manufactures and markets human therapeutics based on advances in cellular and molecular biology for grievous illnesses, primarily in the United States, Europe and Canada. This stock, as well as the entire biotech industry, is up over 27% YTD. That kind of run usually brings into question a stock's valuation. And the questions are surfacing regarding Amgen, which has a P/S ratio almost two times the S&P 500's average. Its Sales/Assets ratio isn't that great either by bringing in only 33 cents of revenue for every dollar in assets.
GOOG Google Inc.
Google maintains an index of web sites and other online content for users, advertisers, and Google network members and other content providers. The current stock price of this mega-company is about the same as it was in December 2007 even though a lot of zigzagging has occurred over that time. What's noteworthy is that Google still looks expensive by almost all valuation measures. Its P/S ratio is more than double the S&P 500 and over 1.5 times its industry average. The company has also seen earnings projections revised downward.
Your Ticket to Gold (or at least profitable investing)
Remember back in 1984 when a certain fast-food restaurant chain had a scratch card game that gave away free food depending if an American athlete won a medal for a specific event? Remember also that the Soviet-bloc countries boycotted those same Olympics as payback for the boycott of 1980? That combination resulted in a windfall of almost as much free food as you could eat. Using the Research Wizard to find outperforming strategies is almost as easy as getting a free lunch. Although you can't use it to win a gold medal at the Olympics; you can use the Research Wizard to profit in the stock market. That's the closest competitive arena for most of us anyway.

Petersburg police investigate two shootings
PETERSBURG - Two men were shot in separate incidents Thursday.
The first unidentified man was shot Thursday afternoon and taken by helicopter to Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center in Richmond for treatment. He was shot once in the leg during an altercation. He was taken by helicopter as a precaution, not necessarily due to life-threatening injuries, police spokeswoman Esther Hyatt said Thursday.
Police continue to work on a suspect and leads, and continue to seek information from the public. About a dozen police officers and many police cruisers were seen near the intersection of Rome and South Dunlop streets.
The second man arrived at Southside Regional Medical Center with three gunshot wounds that "he said he obtained during a business transaction that became confrontational," according to police. That incident occurred in the 1300 block of Patterson Street at around 4 p.m., police said in a statement Friday.

Tourism Industry Wants More State Money
The message at the 2012 Tennessee Tourism Governor's Conference, held at Sevierville: the state is doing really well in attracting tourists, but could do even better with more money from state government.
Excerpts from a News Sentinel report:
Gov. Bill Haslam and Gaylord Entertainment CEO Colin Reed told an audience of about 500 people that all Tennessee's already burgeoning tourism industry needs is a cohesive Memphis-to-Mountain City initiative to ratchet it up even another level.
"If the tourism industry works together in a way that has never happened before and we coordinate our efforts and message, I think we can see an unprecedented return," said Haslam.
..."We're doing well, but we think we should double-down," he said. "We feel we can do even better."
...Reed, charged in April 2011 by Haslam to form a statewide tourism committee, presented several preliminary findings and suggestions.
..."This notion of culture and heritage where people seek real stuff is very important. We have the original birthplace of this stuff. We've got to package it, communicate it and bring it to life."
Reed said the way to do that is get the myriad tourism organizations on the same page, brand their message and convince the state to appropriate more money for advertising and promotions.
Reed said he's confident that Haslam will sign off on the committee's final plan and recommendations, which he expects to be presented in the early part of December.
"I haven't seen a governor committed to tourism like this governor," Reed said.

In: Articles by Chris "FighterAce100" Salazar19 Apr 2011
With so many viable contenders — and a lot of completely nonviable ones — the list of possibilities can vary so much that these games. Nevertheless, I will point out five games that I think deserve the title of best of racing games. The genre has been around since the first console with Mario Kart and has evolved to Gran Turismo 5 and Forza 3, but what's really worth your time and money for current systems?
Here's what I think deserve your attention.
1. Gran Turismo 5 — PS3
I do not even own this system, yet I am going to rate this game as number one on my list. Gran Turismo has been around since 1997 and has sold over 63 million copies. If that number doesn't shock and awe you, the newest game in the series will. GT5 has more than 1,000 cars to choose from, 26 locations around the world with over 70 track variations, and day and night racing. Developer Polyphony Digital even included weather effects. I know of no other game, even with DLC, that has anywhere near the 1,000-car mark, much less the size and details of the tracks included with the game. Tracks are beautifully and painstakingly designed from the pebbles on the side of the road to every curve and bend on the Nürburgring raceway. Racing styles also are covered from top to bottom from NASCAR events and rally racing to basic circuit and advanced GT series racing. If you want a game that seriously covers it all, this is the game for you and you will not be disappointed. For the "tuners" out there, just like the real engineers, you can tweak nearly every little detail on your car from tire pressure to spring dampers and sway bars.
2. Forza 3 — Xbox 360
I can hear the fanboys screaming at me now, but Forza must ride in second place. The Forza franchise has sold a little more than 10 million copies of the game, which is significantly fewer than the more well-established Gran Turismo franchise, but just like GT, Forza is console exclusive to the Xbox. This has, in my opinion, stunted the growth of the franchise, but it is worth noting that with each release, the game content has grown tremendously. Forza 3 features about 500 cars and 25 tracks. With the variations of the original tracks, Forza 3 has more than 70 tracks to test your skills on. The devout online tuning and modification community has undoubtedly contributed to the success of each release. Racing is mostly limited to daytime track racing, broken down by vehicle classes. The career mode is extensive and can keep you busy for well more than half a year or more and the unlimited tuning, painting, and modifications allow the game to keep the cars fresh and new. Forza had done the "cockpit" view the best out of all the racing games to date until Gran Turismo 5 released, but even now, there is another game out that challenges this once-unique and defining feature of the series.
3. Shift 2: Unleashed (Need for Speed) — Xbox 360, PS3, PC
Just released this month, Shift 2 has such high potential and lasting value that it deserves some recognition, especially because it is so vastly improved over the first game. Improving the "cockpit" camera by renaming to the "helmet cam" and realistically recreating head movements that a racecar driver has on a course, it fully completes what other games have come close to recreating but haven't been able to attain. Shift 2 does not have the level of detail on its tracks compared to GT5 or in some cases of Forza 3, it makes up for it with the sheer sense of speed and battles that occur during an actual race. Its gritty, rough, unrelenting, and an adrenaline rush all at once. This game is harder to master, as well, due to the sensitivity of the cars while driving them, and it emphasizes that a race is more than just a few cars on a piece of pavement moving at 150-plus miles per hour. I also think Shift is great because it further involves the Autolog feature from NFS: Hot Pursuit by allowing you to post times and challenge friends and other players online. It turns the game into a social network and adds more to the multiplayer and single-player capabilities. Did I mention the interiors of the cars are so incredibly detailed and realistic that it puts GT5 and Forza 3 to shame?
4. Dirt 2 – Xbox 360, PS3, PC, PSP
Owning to the heritage of rally racing that world-famous Scottish driver Colin McRae left behind, Codemasters has made a magnificent franchise bloom into something more than just driving off road. Dirt 2 is one of those games that is honed to a specific kind of racing: Rally style. Rally racing is mostly done in off-road environments around the world, with emphasis on speed, driver skill, and highly tuned and specialized cars. Rally racing has produced some of the world's premier sedans and hatchbacks like the Subaru Impreza, Mitsubishi Lancer, Ford Focus, and Hyundai Genesis coupe. The game features rally racing in its pure form by time trials, but also has Baja, raid, and rallycross races as well. The level of detail on the tracks is mind blowing, as the impressions left by your car chewing up the track stay there for the entire race. Mud and dirt roads handle very similar to what real-world roads feel like and although the cars are not highly detailed inside the cockpit view, you get a great sense that you are racing in the jungles of Malaysia or in the dunes of Morocco. This game is by no means a simulation and leans more toward the arcade, but this lets a wider audience enjoy a sport that very few have seemed to notice over the years. If you want a game that's fun to play with your friends and you don't mind getting a little dirty, this game is for you.
5. Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit — Xbox 360, PS3, PC, Wii
This game is just too fun to not have on my list. In fact it's so fun and easy to learn how to play that gamers who normally stay away from racing games can take a liking to this one quite easily. Rated the highest out of all the Need for Speed series, it won great reviews from all who played it. Based on the fact that it is an arcade racing game and is in no way, shape, or form a simulator, it takes what's really fun with racing the world's hottest cars and turns them into either street racers or police cruisers. The whole idea is to smash your opponents off the road in dramatic cut scenes by using a variety of tools — or the good ol' fashioned way of bustin' them off the road with your own car! With an open-world setting, Autolog to help post your bragging rights and issue challenges to friends, and great soundtrack, you can easily loose yourself into the world of Need For Speed. The game also has more than three bundles of new DLC to expand your car collection and available races to continue in your career. If that isn't enough to get you sold, the multiplayer is vicious and not for the faint of heart. This is where its okay to hit the car next to you, showboat and pull a slick 180 on the road in pursuit, and show how patient you can be using weapons like electromaginetic pusles, roadblocks, tire spikes, and other assorted items to take out your opponents. Besides it's fun to be racing in a Lamborghini police cruiser at 190 mph on the chase. This game will keep you busy for hours on end — just be sure to race your friends and post your scores so you can get the most out of it.
Racing games have come quite a long way from the early roots of Mario Kart and Burnout, and it's become something that can be as real as you could imagine. You can, in your vitural gaming world, go into the complexity of working as an engineer for a racing team or you can keep it as simple as just smashing your opponent off the road because he is a fugitive and trying to run from the law. I'll grant I left out some other fun games from this list that have made impressions on other racing-game fans, but I guarantee if you pick up any one of these games for your console or PC, you will have a blast racing for the checkered flag every time you play.
Heres my $.02
GT5 – Nope, passed it. It took forever to come out only to fizzle into something not worth it. (Wait for GT6)
Forza 3 – I would approve on this list. Great ablilites to tweek, adjust, and customize to your hearts content. Online Community is rather nice too.
Shift 2 – I was never really into Shift. Trying to be an Edgy Forza/GT There was "Another" Game I think that plays better. We'll get to that later.
Dirt 2 – With RalliSport Challenge dead, I always thought a new Rally game would never come out.. until Dirt came. Dirt 2 was just Icing on the Cake. Great Arcade/Sim ablities.
NFS:HP – Im sorry, I was so excited for this, and then is fizzled out too. Criterion you did your best, but did we really need a Burnout: Hot Pursuit.
Wanna know my 5. Here we go:
Dirt 2 – See above
Forza 3 – See above
Grid – Thank you Codemasters.. Yes Dirt was great, Dirt 2 was also great. So was F1 2011, But I think its time to come back to the Tarmac and whip up another Grid. Nothing has gotten me so pumped to play a 24 Le Mans race than this has.. ever. Just enough Sim and Arcade to make this right.. thus why Shift was really meh to me.
Burnout Revenge – Now before you shout, WAIT 3 TAKEDOWN.. Revenge to me was bliss. Talk about taking out some anger while playing this. Crash Mode, Traffic Attack all that. 360 Version being Suppior in many ways.. heck it looks like it should havce been IN an Arcade machine. PERIOD.
Split Second – WHY WAS THIS NOT IN THE LIST. I have not had this much fun playing a Racing game in so long. Over the top ways to take people out, getting chased and shot at by a helicopter and dare I say.. Survival mode being one of the best Racing modes ever created (way much fun online too). I guarentee to hear a Sequal maybe this year at E3.. if not then next year.
My half-cents worth:
Test Drive Unlimited 2 is a great DRIVING game, but really can't compete with your list of RACING games.
I think Track Mania is one of the great racing games. Sure, it is arcade racing, but it does it very well. TM is internationally famous with a huge user base.
I guess neither of these choices try to simulate racing, so they may be for a different list.
I haven't played any of the racing games in your top 5 list. However, you list is stacked with racing simulation games. The other sub-genre of racing games is arcade/story style games and I like them the best. My favorites in this console generation that I've played on xbox 360 or Wii in single player mode only are:
Need for Speed Carbon – Played this on the Wii. This game was almost perfect. I did not like the drift races, however I liked everything else about it. I also really like the night driving because that is where I feel the true street racing happens. Also, the canyon races added a unique challenge. Awesome!
Burnout Revenge – Played this on xbox 360. The crash events were fantastic! The computer opponents challenging.
Need for Speed Undercover – Played this on xbox 360. This one was fun, but it was not long enough. The game campaign ended shortly after unlocking the 3rd area of the city. I wish there was more, otherwise a great game.
Others that I played, but were mediocre or frustrating to play were:
Project Gotham 3, Need for Speed Most Wanted, Midnight Club L.A., Burnout Paradise.

The Demand for Electricity Services and the Quality of Supply
AbstractThe spiraling costs of energy within the last decade have stimulated renewed interest in the increased efficiency of energy production and consumption.' Electricity is a relatively mature sector where considerable theoretical work on the economic aspects has been carried out since the 1950s.2 While the microeconomic principles underlying optimal investment planning and pricing policy have received much attention in the recent literature, less effort has been devoted to the effects of quality of supply and output reliability.

Sensitivity analysis can be used to quantify the magnitude of the dependency of model predictions on certain modelling assumptions, e.g. parameter values, initial conditions or inputs. The finite difference method, a local sensitivity analysis technique, is discussed in detail and situated among other methods. A lot of attention is paid to the practical issues concerning the implementation of this technique, more specifically the effect of non-linearities of the model and numerical problems. The influence of the perturbation factor on the sensitivity calculations is investigated and different criteria are proposed to assess the quality of the sensitivity functions. The influence of numerical integrator settings is also demonstrated.

The San Francisco 49ers will play host to the Carolina Panthers on Sunday in Week 10. San Francisco (6-2) is riding a five-game winning streak, while Carolina (5-3) is on a streak of four consecutive wins of their own. Carolina has played some pretty poor competition over the past four weeks, however, while the 49ers are coming of a week of rest from their bye week.
Still, the Panthers have one of the best defensive front-sevens in the NFL, so they are a force to be reckoned with. San Francisco's offense is totally imbalanced, with the No. 32 passing offense and the No. 1 rushing offense, while the Panthers are No. 2 in the league at stopping the run.
Despite that, most experts are picking the 49ers to hold at home. SB Nation's panel of six experts were unanimous in the selection of San Francisco. That panel consists of Ryan Van Bibber, Joel Thorman, Jason Chilton, Stephen White, David Fucillo and Matt Ufford.
The experts over at CBS Sports were slightly more divided, though six of the eight still went with the 49ers. Will Brinson and Jason La Canfora were the dissenters in that case.

Oxford Resource Partners LP (OXF) will suspend cash distributions on its common and subordinated units for its fourth quarter, citing continued weakness in the coal markets and a need to further preserve liquidity.
Units sank 24% to $4.50 in recent premarket trading. Through Monday's close, the stock has dropped 65% in the past 12 months.
Still, Oxford said that it "continues to benefit from its low-cost production profile and strategic importance to its customers," noting that its sales book is 98% committed and priced for 2013 based on currently anticipated levels of production.
The coal producer said it continues to look for ways to enhance its liquidity, including the sale of certain excess Illinois Basin equipment. It is also pursuing the refinancing of its credit facility.
While arrearage amounts resulting from suspension of the common units distribution accumulate, those resulting from suspension of the subordinated units distribution don't.
Going forward, Oxford will first pay the then-minimum quarterly distribution to common unitholders, and will then pay them any additional distribution amounts until their previously unpaid accumulated arrearage amounts have been paid in full.
