3.9/5 rDev -3%
A - The beer poured a deep black in the center part of the glass and showed amber on the edges where the beer was not as thick across the glass. A one finger head sat on top of the beer but dissipated very quickly. Once the head dissipated, a thin veil of head residue and medium sized bubbles cover all but a halo, that sits slightly inside the edge of the glass.
S - I picked up a smokey sweetness. It reminds me of milk chocolate and bacon that is on the brink of burning. Great! I am stuffy today though, so I might revise this if I drink it on a day where I have less sinus blockage.
T - There is the very, very, very slightest first taste of sweetness, like a brown sugar, which is instantly over powered by the burnt bacon flavor, and finishes slightly bitter. The bitterness is much less than I expected compared to Arrogant Bastard and porters in general. I truly like the unique flavor, but I do not feel like I would pick this beer off the shelf again if I recalled my experience. As a dark beer fan, I find that there are more traditional flavored porters I prefer.
M - Very carbonated after being in your mouth for a second. Goes down silky smooth.
O - Good beer. I am happy to have tried it, but I probably will not be buying another one.

Served in a bottle at Idle Hands in New York, NY
A: Pours a clear dark amber to brown in color with some ruby hints when held up to the light. There is a thin off-white head that reduces to a thin ring of bubbles at the edge of the glass. Moderate lacing is observed.
S: Roasted and caramel malts followed by a lovely peat smokiness and some hints of sweetness. The smell reminds me a bit of a good scotch.
T: Slight hint of iodine/band-aid from the smoke but that just adds to the flavor in my opinion. Some caramel sweetness but not as much as you might expect from the smell, followed by the peat smokiness, and leave a scotch like flavor on the tongue as a aftertaste.
M: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Slightly thin.
O: Definitely a really interesting beer with a good flavor but I personally could not drink a whole lot of this one - just doesn't match my palate as well as other smokey beers. Definitely a quality offering from Stone and a good one to sip on.

Bought a 22-oz bottle and poured into a snifter
A: brown with ruby highlights. Nice fluffy tan head.
S: Subtle smoke that reminds me of ham & campfire. Soft chocolate malt aromas.
T: Light blend of smoke, chocolate and some roast. Everything is well balanced as each flavor molds together nicely. As it warms, some raisin and a little fig. Low hop flavor.
M: Significant bitterness upfront that eases into a creamy mouthfeel. Seems medium-full to full.
O: A well made beer overall. A solid porter with an element of smoke to it.

A- nice black body with a slight mahogany color when put up against the light. Also has a thick light brown head.
S- prominent charcoal/smokey smell at the nose. Also a great underlying smell of oak.
T-a wonderful oak flavor hits your palate. As it goes down you get strong smokey and bitter hop flavors, then it cleans off nicely. Very smooth for the style.
M-nice heavy body with mild carbonation.
O-what a great porter. Nice smokey flavors, basically everything you would want for this style.

22 oz brown bomber. Awesome screen printed Stone label as always with this brewery. Poured into a nonic pint glass.
A - darkest of brown splashed with touches of deep ruby. Tan to beige head that pours thick and fluffy leaving behind a fine display of lace. Good stick.
S - sweet dark malts with a slight smokiness to it. Hints of coffee along with a whiff of chocolate and a light touch of vanilla. More whiffs of smoked grain deep within.
T - rich chocolate with roasted coffee notes. A small taste of dark fruit creeps up through a steady flor of mild sweetness. A good dose of smoked malts on top of everything. Burnt like malt and some hops create a nice semi bitterness in the finish.
M - medium bodied and delicious. This is on the thick side and very drinkable.
O - awesome porter from stone. Has the porter 'it' factor with a stone style. I don't think they make an average beer. I could drink this any time. Definitely in my list of top 3 American porters. It's that good.

Coronary Angioplasty Care
- Overview
- What It Is
- Reasons For
- Complications
- What to Expect
- Results
- When to Call a Doctor
Coronary Angioplasty Details
Alternate Names for Coronary Angioplasty:
Your doctor will likely do the following:
- Blood tests-especially if you are taking certain medicines (high blood pressure pills, blood thinners, heart medicines)
- Electrocardiogram (ECG, EKG)-a test that records the heart's activity by measuring electrical currents through the heart muscle
- Chest x-ray
In the days leading up to your procedure:
Talk to your doctor about your current medicines. Certain medicines may need to be stopped before the procedure, such as:
- Anti-inflammatory drugs (eg, ibuprofen ) for up to one week before surgery
- Blood-thinning medicines such as warfarin (Coumadin)
- Metformin (Glucophage) or glyburide and metformin (Glucovance)
- You should take aspirin before and during the procedure. Your doctor may also prescribe clopidogrel (Plavix) before the procedure.
- The night before, eat a light meal. Do not eat or drink anything after midnight.
- Arrange for a ride to and from the procedure.
- Arrange for help at home after returning from the hospital.
Local anesthetic will be given. It will numb the area of the groin or arm where the catheter will be inserted. You will also be given sedation and pain medicine through an IV. This will help to keep you comfortable during the procedure.Description of Procedure
The area of the groin or arm where the catheter will be inserted will be shaved, cleaned, and numbed. A needle will be inserted into the artery. You will receive blood thinning medicines during the procedure. A wire will be passed through the needle and into the artery. The wire will be guided through until it reaches the blocked artery in the heart. A soft, flexible catheter tube will then be slipped over the wire and threaded up to the blockage.
The doctor will be taking x-ray pictures during the procedure to know where the wire and catheter are. Dye will be injected into the arteries of the heart. This will make a better view of the arteries and blockages
Once the blockage is reached, a small balloon at the tip of the catheter will be rapidly inflated and deflated. This will stretch the artery open. The deflated balloon, catheter, and wire will be removed.
Your doctor may also insert a small mesh tube called a stent into the artery where there was a narrowing. A stent acts to keep the artery open by providing support inside the artery.
After the procedure is done and the blood thinning medicines have worn off, the catheter will be removed. Pressure will be applied for 20-30 minutes to control bleeding.
A bandage will be placed over the groin or arm area.How Long Will It Take?
30 minutes to three hoursWill It Hurt?
The anesthetic should numb the area where the catheter is inserted. You may feel a burning sensation when the anesthesia is given. You may also feel pressure when the catheters are moved. Some people have a flushed feeling or nausea when the dye is injected. You may feel some chest pain during inflation of the balloon.Average Hospital Stay
The usual length of stay is overnight. Speak to your doctor to see if this is an option in your case.Post-procedure Care At the Hospital
You will likely need to lie still and flat on your back for a period of time. A pressure dressing may be placed over the area where the catheter was inserted to help prevent bleeding. Or, a vascular closure device may be used to seal the arterial puncture site. This will allow earlier movement and hospital discharge. It is important to follow the nurses' directions.At Home
You may be sent home on blood-thinning therapy. This may include one or more of the following:
- Aspirin
- Warfarin
- Clopidogrel
- Prasugrel (Effient)
- Ice may help decrease discomfort at the insertion site. You may apply ice for 15-20 minutes each hour, for the first few days.
- To lower your risk for further complications of heart disease, you can make lifestyle changes. This includes eating a healthier diet, exercising regularly, and managing stress.
- Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions .
Sometimes the procedure is not successful or the artery narrows again. You may require repeat angioplasty or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

UPDATE: Council Bluffs Police say Kier turned herself in to authorities in Clarinda Wednesday morning. Her child was unharmed and placed into protective custody. Kier is being held om Clarinda on a warrant out of Council Bluffs.
By: Leah Uko
COUNCIL BLUFFS, IA (KPTM) – An Iowa family is searching for a baby they said was kidnapped from state custody by a woman they believe could be dangerous – the child's mother.
Council Bluffs Police Department issued a warrant for 23-year-old Sara Kier Tuesday afternoon. Kier is accused of kidnapping her 9-month-old daughter, TaLiah Ellison, from the Village Inn restaurant on Broadway in Council Bluffs Monday morning.
"Everyone is terrified and she shows no feelings or emotions towards any of this," Marcy Hurley continued. "Like, it's not even affecting her at all. This is about the baby this is not about her."
Hurley, who is Ellison's cousin, said she took temporary custody of Ellison in February after Kier lost full custody due to a domestic violence incident.
Family said Kier has been battling with drug abuse since she was 16.
"I'm scared for TaLiah. I really am," Kier's mother, Curstie Kier said. "I don't know what Sarah's going to do. I know—I know she's using again."
Kier met with a caseworker for a supervised visit with Ellison. Police said when the caseworker went to the restroom; Kier left the restaurant with the baby.
Curstie said she feels and worries Kier is not thinking of how this kidnapping will affect the baby's future. She also added that raising a child "on the run" would never work.
"That baby can't go to school. That baby can't go to a doctor. That baby's not going to get medical treatment."
Kier faces up to five years in prison if convicted.

Bonds said nearly a decade ago: "I don't need a headline that says, 'Bonds says there's racism in the game of baseball.' We all know it. It's just that some people don't want to admit it." This is the story of the Black athlete today: Die a hero or live long enough to be a villain.

My T-shirt reads, "If Barry goes to jail, then baseball can go to hell!" An all-Black jury is seated to determine if Major League Baseball is guilty of running a profit-then-deny scheme by a bunch of lying, cheating racist ringleaders.

AT&T Park shook so hard I thought I was on a pogo stick the night Barry Bonds crushed a 3-2 Mike Bacsik pitch into right center to go past the great Hank Aaron and crown himself Major League Baseball's all-time home-run king. He circled those bases to a deafening hometown roar.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's new novel, Americanah, begins in a train station in Princeton, New Jersey, where Ifemelu is on her way to Trenton to get her hair braided. This errand, seemingly simple, could stand as a microcosm for a plot that is all about transitions—epic, life-altering journeys from Nigeria to America and London, the transition from high school to college, the evolution of teenage crushes to true love, right down to the minute, but no less significant, detail of where a black girl can get her hair done.
Ifemelu and Obinze fell in love as teenagers in Lagos. The military dictatorship in Nigeria made it almost impossible for them to complete college, and both hoped to go to the United States. Ifemelu left Africa first, living in Brooklyn with her aunt and cousin Dike, and then on to college in Philadelphia. The plan was for Obinze to join her, but, unable to get a visa after 9/11, he instead went to London and plunged into the dangerous life of an undocumented immigrant. Both young people did whatever they could to survive, and the subsequent feelings of shame and embarrassment changed their relationship.
Fifteen years later, Obinze is a wealthy man with a family in newly democratized Nigeria. Ifemelu is at Princeton, the author of a wildly successful blog about race in America with the wonderful tongue-in-cheek title Raceteenth or Various Observations About American Blacks (those formerly known as Negros) by a Non-American Black. She has a sexy academic boyfriend and a lively and diverse group of friends. But she is homesick for Nigeria, and realizes that her thoughts of returning are all wrapped up in her unresolved feelings for Obinze.
As she did with Half of a Yellow Sun, Adichie creates a multigenerational tale, spanning th[Mon Sep 1 04:23:53 2014] enhancedContent.pl: Wide character in print at E:\websites\aquabrowser\IMCPL\app\site\enhancedContent.pl line 249. ree continents and incorporating the complicated politics of Lagos, the slippery codes of race and class, and the emotional network of family and friends. The novel is stuffed with characters—single mothers, students, hairdressers, cab drivers, academics—each a perfectly realized portrait in a lively tapestry. Adichie's observations are needle-sharp when it comes to race, but her empathy makes Americanah—a term that is used for Nigerians who go to America and return with an exaggerated sense of superiority—a warm and surprisingly funny read. Americanah is an engaging novel about love, change and identity in today's globalized world that is not to be missed.Copyright 2012 BookPage Reviews.
In his ingenious third novel, How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia, Mohsin Hamid spoofs the self-help business guides that are all the rage among Asia's would-be entrepreneurs. Throughout the narrative, he writes from the second-person point of view, employing "you" to refer to his anonymous protagonist, a poor young man from a provincial part of Asia, who, armed with a little education and a lot of ambition, seeks opportunities in the big city. He tries his hand at various enterprises and eventually becomes rich through a (somewhat sketchy) bottled-water business. His big dream, though, involves a woman whose fortunes have run a similar course. Composed of 12 chapters, each of which bears a scrap of advice as a title—Work for Yourself; Have an Exit Strategy—this masterfully crafted story captures the manners and mores of contemporary Asia, but also serves as a shrewd commentary on the desires that drive us all. This is a remarkably inventive novel from a writer who isn't afraid to take risks.
In her vividly realized memoir, With or Without You, Domenica Ruta looks back on the turbulent childhood she experienced with her drug-addicted mother, Kathi. Raised in Danvers, Massachusetts, she grows up in a household where poverty and mayhem are the order of the day, overseen by a mom who's often dysfunctional. Money is always short. The time Ruta spends with her father in his comfortable, suburban neighborhood only heightens the sense of deprivation she feels at home. Kathi, who comes from an Italian-American family, has a feisty spirit and an unpredictable disposition. With her moodiness, her endless need for drugs and her taste for drama, she's an unforgettable character, and Ruta does a wonderful job of bringing out the paradoxes in her mother's personality. Ruta's own struggle with addiction is part of the story, and she writes about it with unflinching honesty. She depicts her unorthodox upbringing with dark humor and lucid prose, making her relationship with Kathi come alive on the page.
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's hypnotic third novel, Americanah, tells the story of Ifemelu, a confident, beautiful Nigerian who immigrates to America. In her new home, Ifemelu struggles to adapt and to survive financially. But she makes it through college, starts an acclaimed blog about race, and wins a fellowship to Princeton. All the while she's haunted by memories of her former boyfriend, Obinze. Soft-spoken and introverted, Obinze immigrates to London where he ekes out an uncertain existence before being deported. Back home, he becomes wealthy as a property developer. When Ifemelu returns to Nigeria, her old feelings for him are revived, and the pair find themselves in the grip of passion. Both are forced to make difficult decisions about the future. Adichie's dramatic, sweeping narrative functions as an emotionally riveting love story, as a profound meditation on race and as a revealing exploration of the immigrant experience. It succeeds—beautifully—on every level.
Ifemelu, the Nigerian expat and Princeton lecturer at the heart of this latest novel by Orange Prize winner Adichie (Half of a Yellow Sun), writes biting, dead-on blog posts taking aim at the cultural schism between non-African blacks, Africans, and everyone else. She also observes her Auntie Uju turning herself inside out to attract a man as Ifemelu's nephew silently accepts his mother's aspirations. Whether Ifemelu is writing a treatise on how to care for black hair or a scathing take on American students earning extra credit for bombast, her opinions bring her money and acknowledgment. But one day, as she is complimented on her nurtured American accent, Ifemelu senses that she has lost her way. A parallel plotline follows Obinze, the man Ifemelu left behind in Lagos, who emigrated to London and longs for a life in America with her. VERDICT Witty, wry, and observant, Adichie is a marvelous storyteller who writes passionately about the difficulty of assimilation and the love that binds a man, a woman, and their homeland. Her work should be read by anyone clutching at the belief that we're living in a post-racial United States.--Sally Bissell, Lee Cty. Lib. Syst., Estero, FL[Page 67]. (c) Copyright 2013. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
Adichie burst onto the literary scene in 2006 with Half of a Yellow Sun, her searing depiction of the civil war in Nigeria. Her equally compelling and important new novel follows the lives of that country's postwar generation as they suffer endemic corruption and poverty under a military dictatorship. An unflinching but compassionate observer, Adichie writes a vibrant tale about love, betrayal, and destiny; about racism; and about a society in which honesty is extinct and cynicism is the national philosophy. She broadens her canvas to include both America and England, where she illuminates the precarious tightrope existence of culturally and racially displaced immigrants. The friendship of Ifemelu and Obinze begins in secondary school in Lagos and blossoms into love. When Ifemelu earns a scholarship to an American college, Obinze intends to join her after his university graduation, but he's denied a U.S. visa. He manages to get to London where his plight is typical of illegal immigrants there: he uses another man's ID so he can find menial, off-the-grid work, with the attendant loss of dignity and self-respect. The final blow comes when he's arrested and deported home. Ifemelu, meanwhile, faces the same humiliations, indignities, and privations--first in New York, then in Philadelphia. There, attending college, she's unable to find a job and descends to a degrading sexual act in order to pay her rent. Later she becomes a babysitter for a wealthy white family and begins writing a provocative blog on being black in America that bristles with sharp, incisive observations about racism. Ifemelu writes that the painful, expensive process of "relaxing" kinky African hair to conform to cultural expectations brings black women dangerously close to self-hatred. In time the blog earns Ifemelu fame and a fellowship to Princeton, where she has love affairs with a wealthy white man and, later, an African-American Yale professor. Her decision to return home to Nigeria (where she risks being designated as an affected "Americanah") is the turning point of the novel's touching love story and an illuminating portrait of a country still in political turmoil.

South Carolina might be in the heart of NASCAR country, but the Palmetto State has the nations second-worst drivers.
The state ranked last in careless driving pedestrians and cyclists killed per 100,000 people, according to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration data compiled by the website carinsurancecomparison.com.
South Carolina placed next to the bottom in the percentage fatalities related to alcohol and fatalities per 100 million vehicle miles traveled.
Only Louisiana drivers were worse overall in the nation, according to the rankings.
South Carolinas best category was its drivers failure to obey traffic signals and wear seat belts. The state ranked 29th among the 50 states and Washington, D.C.
Vermont had the safest drivers based on the stats. Utah, New Hampshire, Minnesota and Oregon followed among the safe-driving states.
The silver lining? South Carolinians may be bad drivers, but were dying less often on the road.
The number of traffic fatalities statewide was down 13 percent to 714 through Dec. 15 compared with the same period a year ago, according to S.C. Department of Public Safety data.
Traffic deaths are up, however, in three Midlands counties increasing 33 percent in Orangeburg, 26 percent in Aiken and 16 percent in Richland County.
Most readers more than three out of four responding to an unscientific online survey on The States website thought South Carolina deserved its No. 2 ranking.
Ive lived in Southern California and outside of DC, where speeding would be my most common complaint, one reader posted on Facebook. However, in SC, Ive never seen so many completely ignorant drivers and the glaring observation that 98% of drivers dont use their turning signals.

Philip B said
May I take this opportunity to express how delighted I am with the kitchen recently installed by Goliath. From the first time I came into your showroom, the professionalism of your company was obvious, and everyone I have met or spoken to since has maintained that image. having heard from other people horror stories of the mess and disruption involved in replacing a kitchen, it was a real pleasure to return home each evening to find the area thoroughly cleared, and all rubbish removed from the site - no skip cluttering the premises. I know it is unfair to single out any particular employee, as they have all done an excellent job, but I do have to give special thanks to Jason Clay, who, as my first contact, was invaluable in giving advice and suggestions over the long period it took for me to finalise the design. When I first started all I knew was I needed a new kitchen - I had very little idea of what was available. His skill and patience is much appreciated. I now know where to start looking when the next improvement project comes along, and I would have no hesitation in recommending your company. I wish everyone involved with Goliath a very successful future.

(WMC-TV) - Memphis police are looking for multiple suspects in two separate, unrelated shootings Tuesday night.
A 69-year-old man was critically shot at 1581 Orr Street in North Memphis. Police say the suspect could be wearing a brown jacket.
Neighbor Sherita Miller said, "We heard and saw a lot of police cars, came out to see what was going on, heard that some guy was possibly shot. We saw them load a guy on a stretcher."
In a second, unrelated incident a 19-year-old man was shot during what appears to be an attempted robbery, according to police.
The suspects, possibly two men and a woman, fled 2006 East Shelby Drive in a maroon vehicle.

Sorry, that home is no longer available
Apartment | 4 bedrooms | sleeps 10
Absolutely amazing apartment with an Arabian courtyard and an authentic battlement wall from the same period. Located one minute from the Cathedral in the most popular neighbourhood in Valencia.
Impressive, luxurious, spacious and full of character apartment that offers a calm accommodation in the very fun neighborhood of el Carmen. It is conveniently situated in the very centre of the historical part of the city and is an ideal choice for your visit to beautiful Valencia.
The area surrounding the apartment;
The La Muralla apartment is located in the heart of the Carmen district, where one can enjoy the most traditional, bohemian and historic area of the city. The area is an ideal and recommended place to stay.
All the main important landmarks are within this area: the modernist Central Market, the Cathedral, the Carmen Museum, the San Pio V, the Botanical Gardens, IVAM, and many more... only minutes away on foot.
Getting to the beach or to Valencia's new port, is very simple, thanks to the well distributed public transport.
The apartment;
La Muralla apartment is a must for any visitor looking for tranquillity but also a truly centrally located apartment. It is on the ground floor and can accommodate up to 10 guests.
Two apartments in one, with two entrances, it is joined together by an immense second living/dining room which is given charm and character by the huge white sofa and a glass topped dinner table; the whole looking out onto the tranquil terrace.
The most impressive and fabulous part of the apartment is its immense patio/terrace that has two distinctly separate areas. An area with a table and sofas where you can eat and chill out together, and a second area, designed as if it where an old Arabian courtyard with part of the original battlement wall dating back to Arab times, way before the Romans! Quite an experience for the senses ... like travelling back in time by hundreds of years!
Its 300sqm surface area (150 + 150) comprises of four bedrooms; one with a double bed and the other three with two single beds each. There are three bathrooms with large showers, one of them en-suite.
The kitchen is between both areas and despite it's comparatively compact size it is fully equipped and perfectly well prepared to cook your meals if you wish to. It also has a laundry corner.
The first living room has a comfortable sofa bed which can sleep 2 extra guests, a second TV set and DVD player.
The exceptional décor incorporates well distributed radiators for the winter, a/c for the summer, fans on the ceiling, wireless internet access and wardrobes to comfortably place your belongings in. All of these details contribute to create an extremely welcoming atmosphere in each and every room.
Thanks to its space and the incredible terrace, La Muralla apartment is a fabulous choice for your stay in Valencia, and one which you will always remember!

vacation rental description
Experience the peace and solitude that surrounds this Mediterranean style villa perched above Smuggler's Cove with expansive views of Jost Van Dyke and beyond. Casa Luna has been designed for outdoor living for those who love the breezes of the gentle tradewinds and the calming sounds of the sea. As you ascend from the pergola covered carport to the main level of the villa, the slate stairs meander around the large volcanic rocks covered with local orchids and bromeliads.
The patio is complete with a covered Al Fresco dining area, living area, and a spot for sunbathing just steps from the large pool with a unique crescent moon and mermaid glass mosaic bottom. To the side of the patio, a stainless steel grill and full outdoor bath are found.
As you step inside the villa through a large, arched doorway the gourmet kitchen with 6 burner commercial stove is extremely well equipped for all your cooking needs. The kitchen opens to the comfortable living area with Cable TV, DVD, CD player, a 5 speaker sound system and extensive DVD collection for those lazy evenings.
Beyond the living area, a pergola covered patio with dining table and chairs offers more views of the sea and sunset and leads you to the queen bedroom with ensuite bath. A winding staircase from the kitchen leads upstairs to the master suite.
The master suite boasts a king size 4 poster bed, a walk in closet and full bath with a river rock bottom shower. A balcony sits off of the front of the bedroom, a large patio with 2 teak lounges is set behind the bedroom.
There is a newly added downstairs complete with private deck, entrance and private driveway. It includes a kitchenette, full bath, and a tropical hardwood king size platform bed. It connects to the living area of the main house via a spiral staircase.

3Halle Berry's Baby Will Be A Boy
Halle Berry is currently pregnant with her second kid – her first with fiancé Olivier Martinez – proving the biological fact that everyone but the actress knew: she's not past child-bearing age just yet. Hurray!
In any case, Olivier recently spilled the beans on the baby's gender at the Champs-Elysées Film Festival…
From People:
"My son will be an American, but I remain French," Martinez told PEOPLE in Paris on Wednesday.
God, I'm jealous of that kid already. Not just because he's rich, but also because he'll have dual citizenship! That shit's hard to come by and really useful.
On another note, it's cool that Nahla is going to have a little brother. I bet she's not all that thrilled about it, but oh well.

3 Responses to "Halle Berry's Baby Will Be A Boy"
Wonder how long before their relationship goes dysfunctional and they become adversaries?
Until Halle's brain goes astray….
Halle Berry has always come across as that "so pretty she's crazy" kind of woman to me.

I've seen Kenny Rogers slot machines and Barry Manilow slot machines in Las Vegas, but I just got a press release that Dolly Parton is getting her own slot machines.
They're expected to be unveiled at the Global Gaming Expo in early October. International Game Technology (IGT) is the manufacturer of the slots.
One of the slot machines is video-based (Dolly Parton Video Slots) and the other two have five reels that spin (Two Doors Down and Nine to Five Spinning Reels). Apparently Dolly cheers you along and you get to hear music.
Would you play a Dolly Parton slot machine? What's your favorite music-related slot machine?

Prevent Kidney Disease
Learn more to reduce your risk of kidney disease and take the pledge to #preventkidneydisease.
There is an urgent need to increase the number of organs available for transplantation in the United States. Supply has not kept pace with demand. In the past 10 years the gap between the number of people on the waiting list and number of kidney transplants each year has more than doubled and is now over 50,000. Every two hours someone on the waiting list for a transplant dies.
Immunosuppressive Drug Coverage
Every year, thousands of kidney patients receive a Medicare covered transplant. Medicare benefits, including coverage of immunosuppressive drugs, continue without a time limit for aged or disabled beneficiaries. Kidney recipients who are non-aged or non-disabled retain Medicare eligibility only for 36 months following their transplants. Many EDRD beneficiaries face the challenge of enrolling in private health insurance or otherwise paying for their immunosuppressive medications when coverage ends. Extending Medicare immunosuppressive coverage would improve outcomes and enable more kidney patients to consider transplantation.

Hmmm, it will surprise nobody who knows me to learn that I did not get out of bed quite expeditiously enough to have the 6-mile run that I had envisioned, but I did have time to do four, and it was what we call round here a very nice little run - beautiful morning for it, and singularly good for the mental health to have any kind of run at all. Probably just as well that I did not go longer, as lungs are still very tender.
Now I must rush to get myself out of here in time for that train! Have a good weekend, everybody...

Windows has no momentum for high-dpi displays
I have to wonder how this is going to play out. The 8.1 update is less than a month away, and presumably along with it a host of high-dpi display laptops and tablets (that will come at a premium). So far I've yet to find a single application outside of Microsoft's stuff and the store apps that are updated to high-dpi settings. In fact several applications such as VLC, Steam, and Photoshop don't just have blurry text but broken UI's, which would render a purchase with one of these displays a complete waste in my book. Chrome finally has a flag for high-dpi in the Canary build, but turning it on crashes the application.
The rMBP was at least usable from day one.
I don't post this to be a dick to hypersensitive tribe members. I want to run Windows on my rMBP, and I'm frustrated that even after waiting all this time for 8.1 it's still virtually unusable.

From Todays Teddy Greensteins Column
Silence is golden
Have you noticed the "Comment on this story at suntimes.com" tag at the bottom of Sun-Times pieces? You won't find it at the end of Jay Mariotti's columns.
Earlier this week, the tough-guy columnist asked management to remove reader comments from its Web site. So if you want to rip Mariotti for ripping Jim Hendry in his Thursday column, you're out of luck. Kind of. A few readers slammed Mariotti at the bottom of a Greg Couch column Thursday.

---- — BEVERLY — The Lynch Park carriage house has come a long way since volunteers began working 11 years ago to turn the seaside building into a viable community center.
Now Mayor Bill Scanlon wants the city to push the project to the next level.
Scanlon last night asked the City Council to approve spending $100,000 on renovations to the carriage house.
He said the money will pay for new windows and doors that will add to the improvements that have already been made and allow the city to rent out the building for more wedding receptions and other events.
"The goal is to reach the point where revenues from rentals make the building self-sufficient," Scanlon said.
About $400,000 in renovations and improvements have been made to the city-owned building since 2002, when a group of citizens formed the Lynch Park Advisory Committee with the goal of saving the deteriorating structure.
Much of the work has been done with money raised from private donations. The city has spent about $150,000 on the building.
Lynch Park Advisory Committee chairwoman Denise Deschamps told councilors that 10 private events, including six wedding receptions, have been booked for 2013. With more improvements and marketing efforts, the building should be able to attract even more customers, she said.
"We could have 20 weddings per year," Deschamps said, with a fee of around $3,000 per wedding.
The latest improvements would include the installation of French doors or large windows that would provide "spectacular ocean views," Scanlon said. The plans would also create an outside seating area and cosmetic improvements to lighting, walls and windows.
The carriage house was built sometime between 1893 and 1907 and is the only remaining historic building from the former estate, which the city purchased into 1946 and turned into Lynch Park.
The council must hold a public hearing on the spending request, so no final vote was taken. But most councilors seemed to be in favor.
"I'm in full support of this," Councilor Maureen Troubetaris said. "We have to spend money to make money, and we will make money on this."
Councilor Jim Latter asked Scanlon whether the $100,000 could be better spent on other projects.
"Not that I could think of at this minute," Scanlon said. "There will be a return on our investment."
Scanlon said the city will also be able to use some money from the Community Preservation Act, which voters passed in November, to pay for more improvements to the carriage house.
Scanlon said he would like to see the improvements completed by May 15. The council voted to hold the public hearing on April 1.

The Blue Ridge Area Food Bank's biggest donation drive is falling short.
Postal workers in central Virginia and the Shenandoah Valley collected 149,000 pounds of food for the Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive. That's about 43,000 pounds less than last year's total.
Dave Canoles and volunteers at Buck Mountain Episcopal Church counted their blessings by post office bins.
"We went down there kind of expecting to pick up five or six boxes of food and were met with nine of these huge carts," said Canoles.
They're sorting through the Earlysville Post Office's Stamp Out Hunger donations, which will supply the church's food pantry for at least two months.
"We'll feed a bunch of folks with this," said Canoles.
That bounty is a big difference from the rest of the one-day drive's totals for the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank.
"This food drive in particular is what bolsters us going into the summer - which we call our "summer slump" period - when donations drop severely," said Joe Caputi, BRAFB Charlottesville branch manager.
The Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive brought in a little more than 25,000 pounds of food for the Charlottesville branch. That's 9,000 pounds less than last year.
"We're grateful for the amount we collected at the post office this year, and hopefully people understand that was a shortfall and they'll help us out again," said Caputi.
At the same time, this branch of the food bank is serving about 4,000 additional people every month.
"We'll probably just have to double down and purchase more food to make it all work," said Caputi.
Back at Buck Mountain, Canoles is thanking the Earlysville community for going above and beyond to help their neighbors.
"It's going to mean a lot of people have nutritious meals and they don't go hungry and that's what we're all about," said Canoles.
The church opens its food pantry two times a month to anyone in need. The next is Wednesday starting at 4 p.m.

Timing Milk Kefir
Many people go through three phases when it comes to milk kefir. Stage one is learning about how wonderful milk kefir is for you and then determining that you must make it and eat it yourself. Stage two is learning how to make milk kefir. The final stage is drinking the milk kefir and loving it... or not.
And if they do not love the flavor they often falsely assume that they simply do not like milk kefir and never will.
The problem with that assumption is that milk kefir can be cultured differently to produce a different-flavored kefir. The milk itself does matter, but the timing of the culture and the temperature at which it is cultured can produce a slightly tangy mild kefir or a strongly flavored robust kefir, depending on the variables.
If you're brand new to milk kefir and would like to dip your toes in the wading pool, then we recommend starting with a mildly flavored kefir.
Here are examples of three different culture times and the end results they may produce. In this scenario room temperature is an average 68-72 degrees, and we will explore temperature control later on.
12 Hours. This is as simple as placing kefir grains in a jar with milk in the evening. The next morning strain out the kefir grains and you will have mildly tangy cultured milk. It will probably still be fairly thin, like milk, and not have a lot of "tang" to it as a more robust kefir would have.
Because it has only cultured for 12 hours you can be fairly certain that a fair bit of lactose still remains in the milk. You may also be able to drink this kefir without any flavorings as it is quite mild.
24 Hours. To produce this kefir simply combine kefir grains and milk in the morning and allow to kefir all day and night. The next morning you will find that your kefir is a bit thick, somewhere between yogurt and milk, and once you taste it you will notice a stronger flavor. It shouldn't be overpowering, but it will have a distinctly tangy, yeasty kefir flavor.
This type of kefir, if your palate isn't accustomed to it yet, is wonderful in smoothies. Its stronger flavor is masked by the sweet fruits and add-ins and it goes well with ice or frozen fruit as well.
This length of culturing will ensure that much of the lactose in the milk has been consumed by the culture.
48 Hours. This kefir is for the veteran kefir lover. When cultured on the counter top for 48 hours the kefir will generally begin to separate into curds and whey. These two components of the kefir can be whisked back together to make a homogenous mixture. You can also put these curds and whey through a cheesecloth-lined sieve and strain the whey out to create a kefir cheese with a cream cheese-like texture.
You can be assured with the longer culturing time that the milk sugar lactose has been completely consumed by the kefir culture.
The flavor of this kefir is almost cheese-like and very tangy. It is best suited for kefir cheese or a kefir beverage for those who truly enjoy all of the acid and yeast flavors of kefir.
Taking Temperature into Account
If you are working in a kitchen that is not centrally heated to a perfect 68-72 degrees you may be wondering how you will produce consistent results. The full answer is that you will have to go through some trial and error through the various seasons to determine how long to culture your kefir to get results that are to your liking.
During this trial and error, though, you can keep one principle in mind: If your kitchen is 10 degrees cooler or more then you will require an extra 12 hours. If your kitchen is 10 degrees warmer or more than you will require 6 or fewer hours to achieve the flavor you prefer.
If you are in extremely warm temperatures try to find a space that allows a bit of air flow, but is still insulated. A cooler just barely cracked is one way; a root cellar or a small hole in the ground is a more traditional method.
So make sure you give kefir a shot by using the above culturing times. You may be surprised to find that you actually really love kefir — mild or extra zingy!

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) – There are more ways to give the gift of life, an exchange program Thursday at Pennsylvania's Harrisburg Hospital involving kidneys and two surgeries has the potential to save five times as many lives.
It's called the paired kidney exchange and you'll find it on the website of the National Kidney Registry. It links donors and recipients who are not compatible with each other, to people who are compatible across the country. So, it allows the donors to give and those in need to receive a kidney, but not from the person they had paired with at first. Even better, this paired exchange works like dominos.
In the case Thursday, there are actually 20 people involved, ten donors and ten recipients. All of them are scheduled for surgery within the next few days. Meanwhile, there are about 100,000 people on the registry right now waiting for a kidney.

Old School Tim
Honorable Mention. The Karate Kid
(June 1984) - I made this movie an honorable mention because it is one of
my favorite teen movies, but I would not quite classify it as a comedy. It
is the same reason that Say Anything is not on this list either. The
Karate Kid featured Ralph Macchio as Daniel Larusso and Pat Morita as Mr.
Miyagi. Who can forget "Wax on, wax off"? It was the very first film role
for the incredibly beautiful Elisabeth Shue. It also featured William
Zabka as the bully Johnny Lawrence (Zabka would play that jerk role well
in the 80's also appearing as the bully in Just One of the Guys and Back
to School too) This film did not feature many classic 80's tunes, but it
did have "Cruel Summer" by Bananarama.
10. Better Off Dead (October
1985) - This one just barely made the list. The main reason it makes it
is because it stars of my all-time favorite actors, John Cusack. Cusack
plays Lane
Meyer who is dumped by
his girlfriend and challenges a guy to ski a dangerous slope in an
attempt to get her back. Favorite Classic quote: "I want my two
dollars!" Classic 80's song featured in the film: "Like to Get to Know
You Well" by Howard Jones.
9. Just One of the Guys
(April 1985) - This is one that not everybody has seen. It did not have
any young stars, but still delivers in great 80's style. A high school
girl feels she is being discriminated against because she is a girl, so
she decides to transfer to a different school and pretend to be a boy. She
helps give a makeover to another guy, falls for him and hilarity ensues.
Classic quote: "Of course you're confused. You're wearing my underwear."
Classic 80's tune: (Not a lot of great options) "Trouble" by Lindsey
8. Fast Times at Ridgemont High (August 1982) - A great movie,
especially for its time, this one ranks a little lower for me because it
actually deals with some serious issues and does not make me laugh as much
as some of the others do. This movie was written by Cameron Crowe (Say
Anything, Jerry Maguire, Almost Famous) and featured such future stars as
Sean Penn, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Judge Reinhold and Forest Whitaker. It is
hard to believe that someone as serious as Sean Penn was once known for
playing surfer dude Jeff Spicoli. Fast Times contains a scene that most
guys growing up at that time remember in which Phoebe Cates exits a
swimming pool topless (nice). Classic quote: Many to choose from, but my
favorite is Spicoli saying "Relax, alright? My old man is a television
repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools. I can fix it." Classic
80's tune: "Somebody's Baby" by Jackson Browne.
7. The Breakfast Club
(February 1985) - This is the first of 4 movies written by John Hughes on
this list. Again a great movie, but ranks a little lower because it deals
with some serious issues and does not have as many "laugh out loud" scenes
in it. This is the first of 3 movies that feature Anthony Michael Hall in
its cast. He and the rest of this cast (including Emilio Estevez, Judd
Nelson, Molly Ringwald and Ally Sheedy) brought a lot to these fantastic
characters/stereotypes that they played. Classic quote: Principal Vernon
says "Don't mess with the bull, young man. You'll get the horns." Classic
80's tune: "Don't You
(Forget About Me)" by Simple Minds
6. Can't Buy Me Love (August 1987) - A very under-rated film which
I still find funny and entertaining to this day. It stars Patrick Dempsey
(now more known for his role on Grey's Anatomy) as geeky Ronald Miller who
desperately wants to be part of the "cool" crowd during his senior year of
high school. He convinces the gorgeous head cheerleader, Cindy Mancini
played by Amanda Peterson (hot), to pretend to date him. His plan works
for a while and then there is a moral at the end of the story. A couple
interesting members of the cast include Seth Green as Ronald's little
brother Chuckie and Gerardo (Rico Suave himself) as Ricky one of the jocks
in the cool crowd. Classic quote: "Nerds, jocks. My side, your side. It's
all bull$hit. It's hard enough just trying to be yourself." Classic 80's
tune: "Dancing With Myself"
by Billy Idol
5. Sixteen Candles (May 1984) -
Another film written by the great John Hughes and another film featuring
Anthony Michael Hall (as Farmer Ted, the Geek). The film revolves around
Samantha, played by Molly Ringwald, with her family forgetting her 16th
birthday and her crush on Jake Ryan. There is a foreign exchange student,
Long Duk Dong, who steals every scene that he appears in getting big
laughs each time. Also John Cusack has a small role in this film as Bryce,
one of Farmer Ted's geeky friends. Classic quote: Anything from Long Duk
Dong like "What's happenin' hot stuff?" or "No more yanky my wanky. The
Donger need food." Classic 80's tune: "If You Were Here" by The Thompson
4. Weird Science (August 1985) - What do you know? Another film
written by John Hughes and another film starring Anthony Michael Hall.
This is a funny movie that I still thoroughly enjoy. This is a tale of
Gary (Hall) and Wyatt who are two dorks who somehow create Lisa, a
beautiful woman played by Kelly LeBrock, with their computer. Obviously
far fetched, but makes for a great storyline. The film also featured
actors Robert Downey Jr. and Bill Paxton early in their careers. Paxton
plays Wyatt's older brother Chet and is involved in many of the funniest
scenes in the movie. Classic quote: "Well, my nuts are halfway up my a$$,
but other than that, I'm perfect!" Classic 80's tune: "Weird Science" by
Oingo Boingo
3. Real Genius (August 1985) - Came out the same month as Weird
Science and just as funny, if not funnier. This film stars Val Kilmer as
Chris Knight who is one of the brightest minds in the country, but he
doesn't act like it most of the time. I find the dialogue/banter in this
movie to be outstanding. If you have not seen it in a while, go watch Real
Genius and pay special attention to the dialogue. William Atherton plays
the perfect jerk as Professor Jerry Hathaway and Robert Prescott plays the
perfect dork as Kent. Classic quote: Lots of great banter to choose, but
my fav is when Chris says to Kent "What about that time I found you naked
with that bowl of Jell-o?" and Kent replies "Look, I was hot and I was
hungry, okay?" Classic 80's tune: "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" by
Tears for Fears
2. Ferris Bueller's Day Off
(June 1986) - This is the last of the John Hughes films on my list and
this one does not star Anthony Michael Hall. It of course stars Matthew
Broderick as the classic title character. This movie takes the place over
one day when Ferris decides to skip school and show his buddy a good time.
Very funny and charming movie from start to end. Many great performances
include Jeffrey Jones as Principal Rooney, Alan Ruck as Ferris' buddy
Cameron, Jennifer Grey as Ferris' sister, Ben Stein has the monotone
economics teacher and Charlie Sheen in an early role as simply "Boy in
police station." Classic quote: "Life goes by pretty fast. If you don't
stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." Classic 80's
tune: "Oh Yeah" by Yello
1. Revenge of the Nerds (July 1984) - This movie tops my list
because it has all of the elements of a great teen comedy, but it could
just as easily swap places with any of the other top 5-6 movies on this
list. This was a rated R movie which allowed it to get away with some
things that other teen comedies could not. It is the story of Louis
(Robert Carradine) and Gilbert (Anthony Edwards) as they go off for their
freshman year of college. If you have not seen this one in a while, I
encourage you to watch it again (and not the edited television version).
Some interesting cast members include Timothy Busfield who played
Poindexter, Ted McGinley who played head jock Stan Gable and a young John
Goodman who played the football coach. Classic quote: "Those nerds area
threat to our way of life." Classic 80's tune: "Burning
Down the House" by Talking Heads
There's my list. Like I said, put them in any order, but those are pretty
much the best 10 flicks. Some movies that others might put on their list
include Pretty in Pink, Footloose,
Valley Girl, The Sure Thing, One
Crazy Summer among others.

Continuing from the previous post. Starting from Yodoyabashi station again, we will now venture toward Umeda to check out more Christmas lighting displays.
Getting a good look around the area.
This was one cool looking tree!
I believe this is the Hankyu train station in Umeda. One of department stores there set these elaborate Christmas displays up for people to just stand in front and take photos. Pretty cool.
The display in front of Hankyu Men's and Hep 5.
In front of Yodobashi Camera next to Osaka station.
Giant tree display on the Osaka station building
The Ferris wheel on top of Hep 5. Yup… there's a giant Ferris wheel on top of a building in the middle of a city. That's Japan for you.
From far away, I thought this was a tree at first until I got a closer look ^^;.
Plenty of couples out and about enjoying themselves around the lights too.
The main highlight of Osaka Station's illuminatino display were these lights that dance in sync to the music that was playing. Really neat!
Outside the main entrance of Osaka station.
And I'll end it here for the Umeda area. Still not the end of the illumination nights though!
