Iâm a sucker for the 990âs Rally inspired looks, so navigation in the tower? Hell yes! First step in that direction is the Touratech GPS Mount Support, which places the GPS front and center right in your line of sight, when used in conjunction with the Handlebar Mount (http://www.touratech-usa.com/shop/show.lasso?sku=065-0523 ). Thereâs no arguing with the placement, but reading the instructions I balked a little at the sentence, âDrill two 12mm holes in positions shown in photo 5 or cut them out.â No harm or foul, the experience wasnât scarring. The only issue to this otherwise well thought out mount is that itâs only affixed by two mount points at the rear of the assembly, allowing it to vibrate at the front. Some double-sided carpet tape is in order.

I really liked the design of this adaptor in that it allows for multiple height and depth variations to adapt to whatever GPS and mount you have. That was until this morning when the bracket broke completely in half causing my GPS and the nifty Touratech mount to swing around in front of my odometer/tach and scatched up the face of my gauges before I could stop. After drilling the two holes through the top of the dash to mount the holder to the faring subframe, the break occurred right where it begins to cantelever forward. I am pretty much forced to buy another one, but I think I will look into fortifying it more before I install my expensive GPS again.

When Sandy Tryszyn signed up for cosmetology as a high school elective, she had no idea the class would be a blueprint for her future career.
"I picked cosmetology because it sounded fun, and 33 years later, I'm still doing it," Tryszyn says.
The Pittsburgh native opened her own salon, Sandra D's Hair Designs, in East County in September 2008 after owning salons in other states.
"We have a lot of fun here," Tryszyn says. "I want a warm, welcoming atmosphere."
Although Tryszyn has dabbled in other business ventures over the years, including helping with her ex-husband's trucking company and answering telephones, she's always gone back to work as a hairdresser. Even when she owned her own bakery, getting up at 2 a.m. to start work, she'd still go out to cut hair all day.
"I was nuts back then," she says, laughing.
The self-proclaimed workaholic started doing appointments as early as 6:30 a.m. after a customer offered to pay her double if she could accommodate his business schedule.
"I was there by 6:15 a.m.," Tryszen says. "It started as a joke, and it picked up after that."
She moved to the area six years ago from North Carolina, renting space at other local salons. But none of them felt like home.
"I couldn't find a decent place to work," Tryszyn says. "I was very frustrated."
The experience ultimately led her to open Sandra D's. And the business move has proven successful. In just eight months, she went from three stylists, including herself, to more than a dozen.
"I've got the best staff in Lakewood Ranch," she says. "I'm very proud of them."
Rescue worker
For two-and-one-half years, Tryszyn fostered dogs for Bishop's Animal Shelter in Bradenton, but it became too hard to part with the animals. Now she has a pup of her own, Callie.
"She picked me," Trysyzn says, laughing. "I didn't pick her."
Avid reader
The Bradenton resident loves to read, mostly mystery books. "Anything non-political," she says. "One of my favorite authors is Jonathan Kellerman."
Feelin' groovy
"I'm stuck in the '70s with music," Tryszyn says. "I like it all. Barry White's got to be my favorite, though."

HIGH-RISK IMAGERY: Data from satellites can help spot environmental conditions--such as the 2007 Sudan flood seen here--that up the risk for infectious diseases, including cholera and malaria.

Rather than searching for weird weather or enemy missiles, some satellites are helping researchers to track—and predict—the spread of deadly diseases.
With the pandemic spread of H1N1 swine flu and the continued advance of the H5N1 avian flu, scientists are anxious to better predict the spread of infectious diseases and are looking for new tools wherever they might be—even if that's hundreds of miles in the sky.
"Ideally we could predict conditions that would result in some of these major outbreaks of cholera, malaria, even avian flu," says Tim Ford of the University of New England in Biddeford, Maine. Ford and a group of experts have co-authored a perspective paper (pdf), due out next month in Emerging Infectious Diseases, that proposes making use of environmental data—tracked via satellite—to predict disease outbreaks.
"As climate changes, and even with many of our weather patterns, [it] directly affects the distribution of disease," Ford says. Hantavirus, the pulmonary disease spread by rodents, for example, has been linked to changes in precipitation. With more rainfall, vegetation increases, which then fuels rodent populations. And pinpointing an area as relevant conditions emerge—before an outbreak starts—buys precious time to spread public health messages.
Satellite imaging can also help warn of cholera outbreaks, which are predicted to worsen with climate change. The satellites provide information about water surface temperatures, which are key to the spread of this waterborne disease. One study found that giving people simple preventative instructions, such as filtering water through a sari cloth, reduced cholera-related deaths by an estimated 50 percent in some areas.
Remote data have already been used to map the avian flu in Asia. Xiangming Xiao, associate director of the University of Oklahoma's Center for Spatial Analysis in Norman, has been tracking likely outbreaks of this highly pathogenic flu by looking for key habitat and weather changes. The domestic duck—determined to be the main carrier of the disease—is a common inhabitant of Southeast Asia's rice paddies, and the movement of migratory birds—a secondary carrier—could be predicted based on temperatures. So using both land-use and temperature information from satellites, Xiao and his team could track the spread of the flu by estimating where the birds would be.
If visual data from satellites is combined with information from radar and LiDAR, (light detecting and ranging, which provides laser-measured data about 3-D contours), Xiao explains, researchers can really hone prediction of some diseases down to a tree line. "You can look at… the transition of pasture grassland to forests," he says, habitats which determine the range of deer. "And this has very important implications for tick-borne diseases, like Lyme disease."
Much of the satellite work, however, still relies on clear skies. And all of it has been dependent on quality information from willing providers, such as NASA and its Earth Observing System, the availability of which researchers hope will continue in the future.
Even with the clearest NASA images, though, current methods are far from perfect. They employ complex models and incomplete information, risking false alarms and missed outbreaks.
The satellite data are still just a portion of the equation. They allow researchers to start "standing back and looking at the picture from a distance," Ford says. He and others are heavily reliant on ground-based measurements and observations. Xiao notes that, "the in situ observations are still very, very important. So the key is to combine those together—that's a real challenge."

Ex-Ute Marshall Henderson imperfect poster boy for upstart Rebels
OXFORD, Miss. — The talkative and brash Marshall Henderson is the face of Mississippi's basketball program.
Sometimes that's good, sometimes it's not so good.
His play and antics have led to plenty of attention for the No. 16 Rebels (17-3, 6-1 Southeastern Conference), who face No. 8 Florida (17-2, 7-0) in Gainesville on Saturday in a matchup of the SEC's two top-ranked teams.
Henderson has been so good during his first two months in the SEC that the 6-foot-2 junior has brought a rare spotlight to a program that hasn't been to the NCAA tournament since 2002. He leads the conference in scoring at 19.3 points per game; he's averaging more than 21 in SEC contests.
Being the SEC scoring leader also brings individual attention.
The scrutiny into Henderson has revealed a player with a dynamic personality and a flair for the dramatic that opposing fans love to hate. In the first 20 games of his Ole Miss career, the fast-talking, emotional Henderson has hit a 35-foot buzzer beater against Vanderbilt to tie a game, celebrated in front of an angry Auburn student section after making two game-clinching free throws and scored a combined 60 points against Tennessee over a two-game period.
Coach Andy Kennedy has had several conversations with Henderson about channeling his emotions, but has stressed he views the exuberance as a good thing.
Opposing coaches — including Tennessee's Cuonzo Martin and Kentucky's John Calipari — have said they enjoy watching Henderson play.
"I think it's passion," Kennedy said of Henderson's reactions. "We don't want it to be misconstrued. Everything that he does is sincere. It is team first. We just want to make sure he funnels it in the proper way. He's a guy that's certainly going to garner attention."
But all the attention has also revealed details about Henderson's checkered past, which includes a stint in jail last year because of a probation violation.
— According to court documents, Henderson was arrested for a 2009 incident in Tarrant County, Texas, and charged with misdemeanor forgery after buying marijuana with counterfeit money. He was eventually sentenced to two years of probation.
— Henderson was arrested for misdemeanor possession of marijuana in 2011 in Texas and sentenced to four months in jail during early 2012 for violating his probation — though not all of that time was actually served behind bars because he was on a work release program. Court documents also show that Henderson failed tests for alcohol, marijuana and cocaine while on probation.
Ole Miss officials have said the athletic department was aware of Henderson's past legal issues when he signed, and that there have been no problems since he arrived on campus.
Kennedy said Henderson's past might be news for opposing fans, but he doesn't expect the publicity to rattle his star guard.
"We've talked about it," Kennedy said Thursday. "Marshall's a free spirit and a different thinker. I don't know exactly what would upset him one way or the other. These are things that he's dealt with. This is his reality. All of these things were two, three, some of them four years ago. I don't think people talking about them will offend him or get him off focus. I'm going to certainly try to make sure that's the case."
Henderson was not made available for interviews on Thursday.
It remains to be seen if all the attention will change Henderson's torrid scoring pace as Ole Miss enters its most crucial stretch of the season. He scored 21 points on Tuesday in the Rebels' first SEC loss to Kentucky, but shot just 5 of 19 from the field, including only 2 of 11 from 3-point range.

The European Union has fined eight banks a combined 1.7 billion euros in a historic accord over alleged collusion to fix two benchmark interest rates. The settlement, worth about $2.3 billion and announced by European Union antitrust officials on Wednesday, relates to alleged actions by traders at some of the world's largest banks, including Citigroup, Royal Bank of Scotland and Deutsche Bank. The banks were accused of fixing rates for the London interbank offered rate, or Libor, as it relates to the Japanese yen and the euro interbank offered rate, or Euribor.

I worked at Capital IQ full-time for more than 10 years
Pros – Great entry level work, resume builder, benefits, telecommuting.
Cons – The company is too political, and to get ahead, you must kiss up to your manager and/or management. Lou Eccleston and his Thomson cronies have not brought any value or market driven products to the marketplace. As a result, he has taken the easy route by making a name for himself by reorganizing and most importantly, cutting costs. Reducing staff, salaries, & compensation is the standard which has made for a very unhappy, insecure workforce that is fearful of losing their jobs.
Advice to Senior Management – McGraw Hill needs to change management and create a culture that values and rewards it's employees from the bottom up. The company needs to make a real investment in market research in order to better understand the needs and wants of customers in order to bring real, market driven products instead of forcing unwanted products to customers.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

look: 3.25 | smell: 2.75 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 2.75 | overall: 2.75
Appearance: foamy tan head, medium burgundy color, opaque
Aroma: beet, prune, slightly sugary malt character, Belgian yeast character-- pungent and slightly earthy
Taste: blast of sugary sweetness at first, then developing beet/prune/date flavor, with supporting bitterness, and surprisingly balanced and somewhat dry finish
Mouthfeel: High carbonation, tingly in mouth, surpringly light bodied for the style (medium body), nimble and not at all cloying,
Overall Impression: This is the Quad to end all Quads. An immediate dark fruit punch in the mouth with slowly developing dark malt and yeast character that somehow manages to stay medium bodied and a slightly dry finish. Although it is very similar in taste to most well made quads, its nimble body and drying finish take the Westy XII to another level. This is a malt bomb that is amazingly drinkable.

This beer was so bad that it inspired me to write my first review. After walking around Fenway Park for a while, I came across one of the beer stands that sold something other than Bud Light. I'm a huge fan of English Brown Ales, so I figured I'd give this one a try.
The mouthfeel was thin and watery, almost like a light beer. No real toastiness or nuttiness that goes along with the beautiful style of beer that is an English Brown. Very bland taste that didn't improve at all as the beer warmed. The watery taste gave way to a faint graininess that faded away into a hop bitterness that just didn't compliment the thin beer at all. This is a pathetic excuse for the style. Avoid this brew. Go with a Samuel Smith's or a Boneshaker instead.

One of the "1001 Beers You Must Taste Before You Die" -- #26 of the ones I've reviewed here.
A beer so classic Humble Pie sang about it in "30 Days in the Hole". The color of it is nice, although docked noticeably for having a head that vanished almost before I put the bottle down. The nose wasn't awful, but wasn't anything at all like you'd might expect from a brown ale, or even a beer this shade of brown -- it smelled to me noticeably like muted apple cider vinegar. (Ie no sharp bitterness, I don't think it was a bad bottle, though who knows of course.)
The mouthfeel is quite pleasant, this is one of the few beers I've reviewed here recently where they hit the sweet spot for me. It didn't taste like much of anything, maybe a little grain and a little hop bitterness, although the finish is surprisingly pleasant, reminiscent of toast, of all things. Maybe freshly toasted 7 grain whole grain bread or something.
Kind of a hard beer to review. It's pleasant and by no means undrinkable -- it's sort of eccentric, too, in it's nose and flavor profile. Still I can't imagine scenarios where I'd be trying this again. Probably worth trying once and deciding for yourself -- I find it genuinely odd that such a mild, eccentric little beer became the favored brand of working class toughs, but history is filled with such oddities.

A- It pours a deep copper/red with a rocky tan head. head retention is good, and it leaves thin yet well defined rings of lace.
S- Light bready malt, a hint of english hops.
T- Bready, light earthy bitternes in the finish.
M- Light bodied with gentle carbonation. The finish is watery.
O- Its good, but not great. It is, in my opinion, one of the best beers you will find in most grocery stores.

Serving Type - 500ml can poured into nonic pint glass.
Appearance - Pours an (unsurprisingly) dark brown colour. Held up the the light its more of a deep amber. There is a light head which faced quickly and leaves behind very little lacing.
Smell - Not a lot going on here. What is there is sweet caramel and toffee. Sugary smell, almost like candy.
Taste - Some light alcohol initially. Caramel dominates after that. Maybe some honey - not sure, but regardless it's very sweet.
Mouthfeel - Not bad. Low carbonation and a medium to light feel.
Overall - 3/5

Poured from an oversized bottle into a perfect pint glass.
The head quickly settled into the body and very little residue stuck to the sides.
The aroma was earthy and mineral and decidedly British, with some alcohol in the nose. the beer is a pretty copper-ruby color.
The first taste revealed a pleasantly thick mouth-feel without much carbonation at all, a toasted bread characteristic mid palate, and then, a vinegar-esque bitterness in the finish with a taste of minerals and yeast. No alcohol taste at all. The bitterness remains.
I wouldn't slam this beer- it is full of British nostalgia, and is quite drinkable, especially deep into the six pack.
The color and mouth-feel are standouts here, making the beer almost beautiful and full bodied.
The off flavors and bitterness would be much better replaced with true hop flavor, but until then, its not a bad choice at an outdoor barbecue, or when the alternative is euro lager green or keg beer.

Poured from a bottle into a nonic pint.
A - Crystal clear reddish-brown with a one finger eggshell colored head which disappeared quickly. Minute patches of thin lacing.
S - Ugh. Skunky formaldehyde. Some residual malt sweetness underneath, but the horrible formaldehyde aroma is overpowering. Why, oh why is anyone still bottling beer in clear bottles with everything we know about beer these days ???
T - Some dextrin sweet malts, and grain husks. Tiny amount of earthy and slightly spicy hop in the finish. (actually the hops might be good if the other off flavors weren't taking center stage) Sadly, the light struck odor is also present in the taste. Tastes of adjuncts. Bland, inoffensive.
M - Thin bodied and watery. Also severely under carbonated, to the point of being almost flat.
O - I think this beer would be much better and might be at least drinkable if it wasn't light struck, but as it is....it's swill. Just a horrible misfire on nearly every level with no redeeming qualities. Terrible.

A- Bownish-Red. Typical for a brown ale. Nice frothy head that dies to a small amount of lacing around the glass.
S- LIGHT AND REFRESHING SMELL! Lightly roasted malts. Toffee and honey. Sweet. Even a slight spicy note. Very inviting!
T- Tosted malts, toffee and honey like in the smell. Bready-ness overall in the palate. Biscuit perhaps as well? Sweetneess rounds out those flavors nicely, but is not sickly sweet. Hoppy likespice in the finish to balance everything out. Clean taste and finish!
M- Light and watery, but is so flavorful at the same time. Several at a time can be put down.
Overall, I've always liked this beer and I'm liking it now while reviewing it. It's just so easy to put these down. Better than light lagers becuase this is a really flavorful, light bodied beer. If I need a beer to bring to an outing that I can drink all night with no problem whatsoever with flavor, it'll be this!

A- Clear brown color with a small, light tan head. No retention and minimal amount of lacing.
Smell- Sweet malt, grass, nutty, and a tad skunky likely due to the clear glass
Taste- Caramel malt flavor with some sweetness and nuttiness. A hint of floral hops at the finish.
Mouthfeel- Light bodied and watery for a brown ale. An average amount of carbonation for the style.
Overall- This is just an average brown ale, but better than other macros. It is just slightly above average for a beer.

Newcastle indeed looks a 'nut' brown ale, its colour being some blend of chestnut and pecan tones. Despite quickly losing all its foam the beer remains quite the looker; sheeny highlights and spotless clarity really show-off against the light. I see why they put it in a clear bottle.
The aroma has a minimum amount of nutty, toasted maltiness and a needless amount of sweetness; corn syrup is masqueraded as caramel. The difference is plainly apparent and, like using margarine in place of butter, there's just no substituting the real thing. The flavours are vaporous and passive, not engaged. Smells more like an amber ale than nut brown.
That minority of people who were happy finding tootsie-rolls in their trick-or-treat bag is probably the only group likely to find this satisfying. I base this on the beer's bland, penny-candy quality (though its corn syrup/cocoa/condensed milk profile does create an actual tootsie-roll-like flavour). The mouthfeel has a mineral element that tastes copper-y (like old pennies).
The best brown ales finish with a dusting of chocolate-mocha richness - this one has (maybe) a semblance to soft-serve chocolate ice cream but it's more so because of the milky sweetness, not any cocoa-like taste. The brewer used only enough caramel malt so as to lend colour; the taste of plain pale malt is about as captivating as waiting in line at a drive-thru.
Newcastle is a name synonymous with the brown ale style. This should be attributed to the brand's history and no other reason. Presently, it's a brown ale with a lager's outlook on life. The brewery's aim is no longer to produce the best, most flavourful brown ale but, rather, to market a dark(ish) beer that is still insipid enough to have mass-market appeal.

Oh how the mighty have fallen. I remember this beer 20 or so years ago when you could only get it in pint bottles. It tastes nothing like it once did. There is a rather odd aroma that smells like dirty socks. Flavor wise it reminds me of bad home brew. It tastes like it's brewed with a lot of cane sugar. Dry, cidery like finish that's just awful.

I poured a bottle into a pint glass.
Appearance- Clear brown color with a half a fingers worth of light tan head. No retention and minimal amount of lacing.
Smell- Sweet malt, grass, nuts, and a little skunky.
Taste- Caramel malt flavor with some sweetness and nuttiness. A hint of floral hops at the finish.
Mouthfeel- Light bodied and watery. An average amount of carbonation.
Overall- This is just an average brown ale. It is not impressive in any way.

Appearance- Pours a clear chestnut brown with a thin line of bubbly head.
Smell- grass, straw, sweet malts, corn adjuncts.
Taste- Sweet "caramel" like malts followed by the grass with a slight hint of nutiness.
Mouthfeel- Light to medium bodied with moderate carbonation.
Overall- An agreeable English brown ale. There are better examples of the style out there but this one is good for what it is. I wasn't too impressed with the aromas, however, the taste improved my overall thoughts of this beer.

Appearance-pours red brown with very small light khaki head, mild carbonation. 3.25
Aroma-Carmel, hint of roasted nuts, some light brown sugar, nothing much going on here. 2.5
Taste-light roasted malts, roasted peanut, a little brown sugar, better than aroma but not by much. 2.75
Feel-light bodied, very watery, barely coats palate, aftertaste is brief, as drinkable as water. 2.5
Overall-Wow, I used to love this beer. Revisiting now is kind of eye opening, my palate has came a long way. This beer isn't horrible but its not anything other than beer to drink to get drunk. The flavor is better than most lagers but compared to other brown ales it is falling very far behind. Lots of other fish in the sea.2.75

Poured a 12 oz. bottle into a Sam Adams glass. Poured a clear, medium-light brown, with almost no head and even less retention or lacing. Aroma is malty, with what I thought smelled like caramel. But there's not a whole lot to it. The taste is about the same. Not much distinctive or notable about it. Oddly enough, it had a nice mouthfeel. There's nothing bad about it, but there's not much to it, either.

I bought this at my local liquor store for $3.39 + tax (18.6 oz). I heard about this beer so i decided to try it. To be honest i feel a little disappointed. It had a very classic average taste to it. Nothing really impressive. It's not a bad beer, it's just not gooD enough to be my first option.

Ahhh, Caledonia, also known as "Scotland", tis a bonnie land of whiskey and tap ales. Newcastle is in England geographically so it is a curiosity that a Scottish brewery should make an English ale and a famous one at that, perhaps Australia should start brewing a New Zealand lager and sell it back to them as their own? They are practically our seventh state. In any case it is what it is - a famous brown ale that I've not tried since 2001, having not been particularly fond of it in the first and I doubt much has changed.
Poured from a 330ml bottle into a nonic pint.
A: Fairly brown body actually... it's in the name, with a chalky white lacing for a head, it looks ok, amber bodied beers are more appealing overall, however from an objective standpoint it's good marks here.
S: Smells a bit like a pub floor (I've mopped a few in my days). There is a malt grain note mixed with hints of yeast, slight fruity hops but that pub floor smell drives home that this may be a mediocre brew... lets see how it goes with the taste before we confirm.
T: It's got a classic array of English ale flavours; nutty, caramel malts, slight sour yeast, light fruity hops in the background and more of a dry than bitter finish. Certainly doesn't taste as bad as it smells which is unexpected. Still not as good as many other English ales I've tried, such as - St Peter's, Old Hooky, Landlord... take your pick.
M: Light(ish) bodied with flat carbonation.
D: A bit of a "meh-beer". There are plenty of superb English ales vying for my attention for me to be remotely be interested in this, and a 6-pack costs $20 which is well overpriced for such an average brew. We sold a lot of Caledonian beers at the bar I worked at in Edinburgh and not a single one of them could hold a candle to the real ale pull tap beers from brewers like Harvestoun, which is telling of the overall state of the market between macro/craft brewers: craft will always trump macro in the battle for my taste-buds.
Food match: A nice hot vindaloo curry will completely overpower the flavour of this brew... which isn't such a bad thing.

COLOR: Medium Amber
BOTTLE CODE: None
Varies depending on where you buy it. But it ranges anywhere from $11.99 to $16.59 for a 6 pack.
12 oz bottles, 12oz Cans, Draft
Depending on how vigorously you pour the beer, the head will be somewhere between nonexistent and 1/2 pinky finger. But it only sticks around for a brief period of time then dissipates.
Crystal clear. Light carbonation. It doesn't look like any brown ale I've ever had. The color was more like a dirty Budweiser.
Very fruity smelling beer. Just like most English ales. There's a malt sweetness that is very present in the aroma, but nothing over the top. There's a light breadiness that evens out the malt sweetness.
The first thing your going to notice is that there's absolutely NO hop character in this beer, which goes right along with the English Brown Ale style.
The bitterness is only slightly noticeable in the aftertaste, which only sticks around on the back of your tongue for about a minute then disappears.
There's no alcohol taste or presence in this beer. But I wouldn't expect that from a 4.7% beer.
The pronounced English fruitiness is ever-present in the taste, and is one of the only redeeming qualities about this beer.
Surprisingly, in the bottle that I reviewed, there was none of that Import-Clear-Bottle-Skunkiness. This was certainly refreshing, as I've never had a bottle of Newcastle that wasn't completely skunked.
Is it Worth the Money? "No"
This beer was on sale at my local grocery store for $12.99 for a 12 pack. That's down from it's normal price of $16.59. However, it's normal price at my local beer and wine store was only $11.99.
I just can't see myself paying nearly $18.00 (after tax) for the regular grocery store price. Not when it's only $11.99 down the street.
Since there's such a wide price-range on this beer, if your heart is dead set on buying Newcastle, seek out the best price. Don't just go to your favorite grocery store and lay down nearly $18 when it can be much cheaper at another store. This is just too over priced for what it's delivering to the senses.
I feel like the flavors and aromas are so light and muted that this beer just isn't bringing much to the table.
If you're looking for a flavorful beer that you can drink quite a few of, this is not the beer for you. It doesn't really taste like much. However, yes you can drink a ton of them and not even get buzzed.
Although, I guess you could consider this a nice transitional beer for someone looking to dip their toes into the craft beer world. But would I call this a craft beer? Definitely not.
This is what I consider the English equivalent to a Budweiser looking like. It doesn't taste like much but because of it's worldwide hype, everyone wants to drink it.
If I'm going to spend nearly $18 on a 12pk of anything, it's going to be something like Sam Adams or Sierra Nevada or another more flavorful beer than this. Something that I can sit back and relax and have one or two and be completely satisfied. Newcastle just doesn't give me that sense of satisfaction.
This almost feels like a novelty beer to me. For example:
A point of advice when shopping for this beer...
I've always complained about how this beer usually has that clear bottle import skunkiness like Heineken and Corona. But as long as you don't buy it off the shelf where it's been sitting in direct light (even fluorescent light), then you should be alright. Personally, I always get the pack that's all the way on the back of the shelf.
Always buy the 12 pack of bottles or the cans because the packaging shields the beer from the harmful rays. If you buy the 6 packs, there is more surface area exposed to the light which will skunk the beer faster.

Newcastle Brown Ale is one of those beers that I've had in the past, enjoyed, and was able to partake of recently and still enjoyed after all the time that had past.
I really do like the brown color to this beer - a burnt caramel is what I would call it. The smell was mostly a muted mix of the normal barley and malts, but at least it wasn't overpowering. The beer can pour a tall head if your not careful, and has you would think, it had little staying power. Surprisingly, the lacing was very evident and stuck all the way down the glass. Mouthfeel was like most others, a high level of carbonation evident the moment it hits your tongue. What really stands out is the smooth taste of the dark ale, it was very, very drinkable - that just stands out to me. Overall I really do like this beer - strong taste, little after affect, and was simply happy to be reunited.

Brown reddish color. Poured a two finger head with good retention.
Light aroma of toasted malts and earthy hops with notes of caramel.
Taste follows nose. Malty but also refreshing with hints of pine and licorice. Dry and mild bitter aftertaste.
Light body with low carbonation.
Reliable British beer, specially considering they produce it in large scale. To drink a few on a hot or cold day.

My friend swears by it, it's his favorite beer.
This is a very beautiful beer. It has a reddish brown color to it. A very nice head that lasts quite a while and also very nice lacing. Probably the prettiest beer I've seen.
Smells fruity, nutty and of roasted malts.
The first thing I notice is the taste of caramel and roasted malts. It has a light body. A fruity and nutty taste to it. It left me with an crisp, clean aftertaste. The downside of this beer is that almost every bottle I've had has been a little skunky. Newcastle needs to start using brown bottles, at least for the beer they export.
It's a very smooth beer. Pretty watery, lacks thickness. Medium carbonation. Very drinkable though.
It's alright. I think it's pretty mediocre for a brown ale. I prefer New Glarus Fat Squirrel over it.

Quite a few elements hinting softly of delightful-ness. Haven't had it out of a can - on tap a couple times (including here) and from the bottle maybe a half-dozen. First time I tasted this was probably 15 years ago, and I can't recall thinking much of it even then.
It's a bit of an almond brown with some light creme foam that has more staying power than you'd anticipate. Not much at all going on in the aroma department - perhaps some watered-down brown sugar and dried-out, powdery bubblegum. The taste, when at its best, can show a decidedly blandish processed cake batter/nougat and hints of dry, lightly-toasted nuttiness, but nothing suggesting all-natural, baked bread crust or mildly chocolaty, sweetish malt. At its best, it's okay - it drinks light-mild and clean with not much bite (unless it's too cold)... You can coax some flavor out of it, depending on the serving...
Seems like a bit of a wartime ration recipe they have here. Still, you can make a flavorful and rich, complex enough brew from not much and they're clearly pandering to a lowest-common denominator audience. I've had this out of the bottle a few times over the past year, showing slightly more character and malt dimension and I could only wonder if this bar hadn't cleaned there lines in awhile. You never know..

Gator Softball Coaches & Support Staff
Kenny Gajewski
A member of the 1994 Oklahoma baseball national championship team and former director of Tennessee baseball operations, Kenny Gajewski heads to Gainesville to join the University of Florida softball coaching staff for his first season as a Gator in 2012-13.
Gajewski will step into the role of assistant coach for Florida, joining Walton and assistant coach Jennifer Rocha on the Gators' coaching staff, four-times the NFCA Southeast Region Coaching Staff of the Year, and will replace the departed Jenny Gladding, who is pursuing a career in education.
"I have known Kenny for 22 years as a friend and colleague and I am thrilled to bring someone of Kenny's caliber on board with Jen (Rocha) and myself to complete our coaching staff," Walton said. "With Kenny comes an unprecedented amount of enthusiasm, passion and energy that will positively impact our players and program. We share the same vision for the future of Florida softball and there's no one better to help assist with those goals and the overall development of our student-athletes."
Gajewski (pronounced `GUY'-eh-ski'), comes to Florida having served as the director of baseball operations at Tennessee the past year under first-year head coach Dave Serrano. In addition to managing the overall operations of the Volunteer baseball team, Gajewski was UT's camp manager, while also overseeing all student managers and serving as an academic liaison to the Thornton Athletics Student Life Center to ensure the success of the baseball student-athletes in the classroom.
"I am absolutely thrilled to be a part of the Florida family," Gajewski said. "Having known Tim as long as I have, I know what he's all about as a coach, educator, mentor and family man – that's what I want to be a part of at UF. I can't wait to get started at Florida and help build upon the foundation of tremendous success that Tim, Jen and Jenny have already established with the softball program. My family and I have been extremely fortunate with the opportunities we've had the past couple of years. We are excited to set roots in Gainesville and we're looking forward to being Gators for a long time."
Walton and Gajewski cross paths on the diamond for the third time after playing baseball together at Cerritos Junior College under Serrano, then later for Oklahoma as the duo helped guide the Sooners on their storied '94 championship run. Gajewski spent time at both Cerritos and Cal State Dominquez Hills before transferring to Oklahoma. Likewise, Rocha also shares the Oklahoma connection, having donned the Sooner uniform from 1996-98.
Following his playing days, Gajewski served as a graduate assistant for the Sooners in 1995 and as a volunteer assistant at Kansas State in 1996. He then returned to OU as the university's athletic turf and maintenance director in 1997. In that role, Gajewski was responsible for maintaining all of the athletic fields and outdoor facilities while supervising a crew of seven full-time grounds workers and five full-time maintenance workers.
In 2001, the field at OU's L. Dale Mitchell Park was named the Beam Clay Baseball Diamond of the Year. That same season, the OU Softball Complex was presented the Field Maintenance Award by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association and TURFACE sports field products.
Since 2007, Gajewski has been the owner and operator of three Norman, Okla.-based turf business - Champions Athletic Turf (athletic field renovation), Sooner Curb and Border (decorative concrete) and Ameriturf MidSouth (synthetic turf).
A native of Los Alamitos, Calif., Gajewski married the former Kristen Clifford of Oklahoma City in January 2002. The couple has a son, Preston (6), a daughter, Logan (1).

64GB SDXC: exFAT format incompatibility

from San Francisco, CA
Took one star off because it was NOT compatible with my tablet; turned out that my (unrooted) Android tablet can not read exFAT formatted files. If you need to read the card on a tablet and don't need the 64GB capacity, get the 32GB card, which should have the FAT32 formatting that is compatible with just about all the tablets. None of the web descriptions would tell you what format is used in the card. I only found that out when I tried to use the 64GB card on the tablet and discovered the exFAT format incompatibility.Otherwise the exFAT formatted 64GB SDXC card works fine in my new camera and also on both my Windows 7 and MacOS 10.6 laptops.

Volunteers wanted for physiotherapy study
Researchers at the University of Newcastle are looking for volunteers who suffer from poor balance or dizziness due to a stiff or painful neck for the next stage of a physiotherapy study.
PhD student Sue Reid said the study aimed to determine whether physiotherapy procedures were effective in relieving dizziness and neck pain.
"Our earlier study showed that manual physiotherapy was effective in the short term," Ms Reid said. "Now we will investigate if gentle manual therapy and/or exercises are effective in the long term."
Volunteers for this study must not have dizziness that is a spinning sensation, a current Workers Compensation claim, or conditions (such as a fractured neck or cancer) that prevent them from having normal physiotherapy.
The University's health and medical researchers work in collaboration with the Hunter Medical Research Institute (HMRI). HMRI is a partnership between the University of Newcastle, Hunter New England Health and the community.
For more information or to volunteer for the study, contact Ms Sue Reid. She is available for interview from 2 - 5pm on Monday 19 April and all day on Tuesday 20 April 2010.
For further information please contact:

The Fast clamp for your cymbal.
The Tama MCA53 is a great piece of hardware to add cymbals and accessories to your drum kit without adding another cymbal stand. It works perfectly for stands with pipe diameters of 19.1mm to 28.6mm.
FastClamp Easy Set Up System
Do you ever feel like you need three hands to attach a drum clamp? Are floor searches for dropped and scattered parts a source of constant frustration? That's why Tama came up with FastClamp. It really is as easy as 1-2-3: 1, Open the FastClamp just like a clothespin; 2, Close the FastClamp on the stand just like a clothespin; 3, Now the FastClamp holds the clamp in place so you can tighten the T-bolt.
Quick-Set Tilter
The toothless "Quick-Set" tilter securely holds position with the friction of six metal disc plates instead of traditional gears so you can adjust it to any angle you desire. This mechanism also has a more durable structure than the conventional gear tilter.

This is a very nice crack climb! It is a very right-arching, flared splitter on a lightly overhanging wall. Start out on a decent tight hand and climb into ever thinner jams as you move up the arch, encountering one bomber finger lock along the way. At the end of the arch, you will find a decent rest before some more hard moves to get established in the vertical upper crack. One or two more hard moves at the top of the vertical section lead to a thank god hand jam on the shelf above the climb. There is one section that is particularly brutal, but aside from the first few moves the climbing is difficult and sustained throughout. Also, hanging on to place gear is especially difficult in some spots. The rock, movement, and general aesthetics of this climb are absolutely top notch in my opinion.
This is the obvious, right-arching crack on the left side of Coyote Rocks when viewed from the road while driving in.
I used two Z5s, one Z6, a #1 Friend and a #1.25 Friend (not in that order), though you may want to bring at least one Z4-sized piece or equivalent to fit your own preferences. I wouldn�t bother with anything smaller or larger.
The grade on this is nothing but a proposition, and it is meant to be honest when compared to other crack climbs around the U.S. Matt Segal checked out the line before I did the FA and he told me he felt that it was solid 14, so it might even be on the stiff side. I was going to call it 13+, but after hearing what Matt thought I decided to split the difference. Repeats will help settle the grade, up or down. For me, the one time I TR'd it, I felt like it was equivalent to a power endurance V11, and putting in the gear on lead adds quite a bit to the diffculty in my opinion. I also want to extend a big public thanks to all the people who I goaded into belaying me on this thing on various occasions. Without your guys support I would not have been able to do this. These people are Jesse Brown, Rob Pheres, Jeremy Medley, Brian Scoggins, Tim Long, Jose Riofrio, Josh Helke, Bob Scarpelli, Julian Pouche, Patrick Kingsbury, Bjorn Kruse, Chris Veniegas and Vanessa Cassat (I hope that is everyone). I especially want to thank Jesse Brown and Rob Phares because more than anyone else they both had to be bored to tears from watching me fail on this. Each of them pushed up on the other end of my rope for a ridiculous number of attempts.
Holy jeebus! Nice freakin' job, Justin.
Well it's about damn time! Yet again Mr. E proves to be ever the unsung badass. Congratulations, Justin.
Hardest in Wyoming?
Thanks guys. Molony, in terms of cracks it might just be. Another contender would be Fiddler on the Roof with Steve Petro's beta. Though new beta has been uncovered for that one which makes it easier, in my opinion Steves solution has to be at least V12, though I can't really comment on that one in any meaningful way because I can't do it the way he did. Pretty sick for the eighties, and in Fires no less.
Congrats, Justin!
Nice job! this might be a stupid question.... what's Z4?
Thanks Pete and Wade. Not a stupid question at all, Wade. A Z# is what Wild Country uses to signify the sizes on their Zero camming units. Specifically, a Z4 would be roughly equivalent in size to a blue Alien. The stem design on the Zero's is brilliant in my opinion and on this particular route that design gave me a greater comfort of mind (check out C and D on that link, as well as the pictures at the bottom, to get a better idea).
Speaking of crazy hard cracks, now that you have done this one: there is a steep splitter down by Curt Gowdy State Park, south side of Happy Jack highway, new piton driven in at the base - a nice traverse boulder problem nearby - do you know which line I am talking about? Has anyone done this thing yet?
A Z4 is the smallest piece I've ever placed as legitimate protection. I have the Z3, and I've only placed it once, and didn't climb above it. I do recall that first day you got a rope on this thing and aided between moves. And especially when that piece blew on you unexpectedly. Because I was staring off into space when you fell and it took me quite by surprise. I also remember a few other trips when I thought you would send. Good work Justin!
Richard, I know which crack you are talking about. Do you happen to know if that is private property or part of Curt Gowdy? Brian, again, thank you for your support on this. A Z4 is also my limit, though that is more psychological than anything. Both the Z4 and Z3 are 6kn, so they are equally good when placed well.
No idea what the property ownership is, nor do I have any hope of even trying this thing, looked way too hard. Just walked by it and thought "there's a 5.14 crack". Great job on your send!
Proud send, Justin! It's got me psyched for this weekend up there!
Congrats, Justin! I've walked by that crack and pictures don't do it much justice.
It was a pleasure to be a slave to such a wonderful project, plus I got to boulder at Coyote and polish off the area classics! It was fun. I know you will find a new kick ass project soon to drag me out, too! P.S your name selection for this route Rocks!!!
Looks like "Jammer" has added yet another overrated and self aggrandizing send to a long list of personal back slappers. Tell me "Jammer" what happened to "some guy" sending this one? And how does it compare to Andy Johnson's masterpiece "Bloodletting" at Reynolds? Congrats.
So Handsome, I was just wondering what you thought of this overrated and self aggrandizing climb, more specifically? When you climbed it, what was it you didn't like? Did the movement not work for you or was the grade a little softer than you thought it should be? Since this is now the hardest trad line in Wyoming (so far) it would be awesome if you could give us some more insight into why you did/did not like it when you climbed it. Problems of this grade will draw people to the area and your feedback will help other climbers figure out whether or not this climb is worth the trip. Thanks!
I didn't like the way the light hit it.
"Just for the record, what other 5.14, or for that matter 5.13 trad lines are you comparing this route to? I see you have bouldered V9, but have you even led 5.12+ in the Creek? Seems like a joke to compare a trad line to a boulder problem, but then again isn't it only 30' tall?" Awfulwidth: You can always tell a hater because they don't actually take you to task on what you have done. If you think the grade is in need of correction, go climb it and then submit your opinion.
30 feet of climbing is plenty in Vedawoo. Plenty.
This route is not as straightforward nor as easy as it looks from the ground. Even standing at the opening moves it looks 5.11 honestly. Initially there's a nice, tight-hands/off-fingers crack with a bit of a slab below it. So you think, what's the big deal, I'll just walk my feet along the slab. If you have a 4 year old child, this would be sick beta. This route is a lot of fun and big props to Justin again for sending. I did not send it, so at the moment, I'll decline to rate it, but I will say it was more fun to climb on it than hate on it on this website. Hell, it was even more fun to climb it than put this post as well :)
To the people who are knockin Justin's beautiful new line. For the record, what's the hardest line in the Voo you've sent? All I can say is, if you lap Squat for fun, you have the right to comment on the rating of this climb. If not, go clip some bolts.
As a relatively new crack climber, I feel like even getting on something into the 5.10 range makes you more bad ass than probably 99 percent of the world, and at Vedauwoo where I have gotten on a 5.6 that was slightly overhanging for a few moves, 5.14 probably climbs like 5.15d in Boulder Canyon.
Justin . . . I hate to break this to you, but I did this crack back in 2001 with only three spoons and an old fork with broken tines as makeshift protection, using an old laundry line as a rope, wearing two left shoes, and without chalk or tape. I rated it 5.8+ because it felt a number grade easier than Lower Progressive. I also scrawled "Eat Me Whore" at the crux with a can of spray paint (like I do on all my FAs), so I'm surprised you didn't know it had already been done. Scarpelli belayed me, so he can verify all this. He'll remember it because it's the same day we stumbled on a couple kids from Colorado committing necrophilia on a deer carcass at the base of Legal Eagle . . . no, really, I'm serious.
Punkencack. That is the funniest thing I've read in a long time. Bravo. I'm heading to Vedauwoo for the first time in a couple weeks and just stumbled onto this "discussion", now, my $0.02 isn't worth very much. But, it seems to me as if one can't disparage the grade on a route without having climbed it oneself. So really, there are only a few people in the world who could ever have anything meaningful to add to this discussion. And in the end, stop bitchin' and start climbin'. I've found it makes for a happier life.
This thing looks hard, especially for shorter individuals.
Last week at Nautilus I met a roadtripping climber from Montreal (didn't catch his name). He was shorter than me (5'10") and said he had been working the route, calling the crux 5.13+.

Third ascent. Sheesh. See above.

FCS Diversity and Inclusion - PROPOSED RULE - MARCH 2011
Dear Mr. Van Meter,
As the President of Kirschenmann Family Farms in North Dakota I know how important affordable capital is for the next generation of farmers to enter the farming business. We have a young family managing our farm for us in North Dakota and it is my goal to have them eventually own enough of the farm so they can support their own family into the future. Since North Dakota is the only state with a state owned bank, the state has had the opportunity to launch a lending program for beginning farmers which
makes capital available to them at a little below 2% interest. This has made a huge difference. This young family now owns 240 acres of our farm with a farmstead and we look forward to them owning more of it shortly. Low interest loans, I believe, are critical to sustaining an adequate farm population to meet our food production needs. and as we are learning almost every day, farmers producing food in and for thier own communities is becoming increasingly critical to the food security ofour
communities. So I hope the FCS will support the effort to make low interest loans available to small and midsize farmers.

Document Your Love – Stay the Night – February 14
January 21st, 2013 by webAdminValentine's Day! It can be a challenge. You love your sweetie madly; but how to show it on a day so loaded with romantic expectation? A bundle of flowers can't express just how much you appreciate it when she organizes your stuffed animal collection. A box of chocolates won't thank her enough for all the times she fed your turtle for you. Before you get Valentine's Day fatigue and go down in a fiery crash, consider a new, stress-free strategy:
Rent a room at a great price at the Modern Hotel. Then join the talented and creative people from Story Story Night to document your love. They'll spirit you away to their audio love laboratory and record your story. So testify — that's right, testify! What made you cross the room to meet her? How did you know he was the one? Stand up and tell your tale of love?
This is a story you can call your own and share with pets, children and in-laws, if you wish. It can be passed down through your family, a testament to your hot romance. You can share it with the world or tuck it away in the catch-all drawer of life.
After your testimony, you and your flame can have your photo taken in our Valentine's Day photobooth—we promise no hearts or stuffed bears, just an image to remember for a lifetime. Your parting gift is a photo and an MP3 of your own love story, starring you and your cupcake. Then retire to your room for frolic, snacks or sleep — your choice. What joy!
Stories recorded by: http://www.storystorynight.org/
Price of the room includes photobooth picture and audio recording.
Treefort 2013
January 17th, 2013 by webAdminAgain this year we are blessed with the Treefort Music Festival. Great bands migrate north from the warmth of Austin, Texas and will breeze into town to warm up our city March 21-25.
If you didn't go last year, I'll offer some words of wisdom–or what I'm proclaiming to be wisdom. Go to Treefort, indulge yourself. Attending Treefort is like being the first one down the mountain after a fresh snowfall. It's like being the first water skier on a glassy lake, carving beautiful rooster tails. It is primo. The indie music festival South by Southwest is an aging monster, now in its twenty seventh year. Boise's own Treefort is your chance to catch a festival in its youth. My advice: be at Treefort when it's young, instead of looking back and wishing you were there at the beginning. The Modern Hotel still has a few rooms in the belly of the beast, the heart of the action, the hub, baby! We have rooms available with or without discounted passes. Call the Modern Hotel for details.
Use promo code TRFT to add discounted 4 day passes to your stay.
Modern Resolutions
January 17th, 2013 by webAdminThe Modern would like to thank all the Modern Resolutionists who participated in the Modern Resolutions event in December. The fire dancers, personal trainers, Radio Boise, and the Record Exchange all made this an evening to remember And I must say, Edward's Greenhouse knocked our socks off with their bed of flowers.
The Boise Sesqui-Shop, a shop put together to help celebrate Boise's 150th birthday, made a fun presentation, too. If you haven't had the chance, I suggest that you scurry down to have a peek at their shop on 10th and Main Street. http://www.facebook.com/BoiseArtsandHistory/app_100265896690345

Shutterfly (NASDAQ:SFLY), declared its second quarter results last week. The company beat its own expectations and reported a significant growth in revenues, gross margins and operating margins despite a dip in net income. The announcement was greeted with much enthusiasm by the market as a result of which the company's prices jumped almost 10% over the past week.
The company is primarily an online photo sharing, storage and printing service which enables users to create customized products using their images. It competes directly with services like HP's (NYSE:HPQ) Snapfish, American Greetings' Photoworks and Webshots brands, and even Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL).
We maintain our $47.03 price estimate for Shutterfly's stock which is about 40% higher than the current market price. We believe that the difference can largely be attributed to the fact that the key gift giving season of the year, the principle business period for the company is in Q4 and that the enterprise business which has exhibited strong growth is expected to further grow.
Check out our complete coverage of Shutterfly
The primary business quarter for the company is Q4
The company reported a positive adjusted EBITDA of $3.6 million for the second quarter. This was backed by improved efficiencies in material, labor and shipping costs. Higher revenues were supported by better than expected average selling prices, along with delays in expenditures associated with the Kodak migration and holiday preparations which will occur in the third quarter.
The company reported an average consumer order value of $31.70 for the second quarter, an increase of 5% year-over-year. These figures are inclusive of the Treat.com service the company started offering in April 2012. With the primary business quarter being Q4, the revenues we expect to exhibit high growth on the back of strong performance in non primary business quarters.
The 'Consumer' base expected to grow faster
The customer base in the consumer category grew 14% year over year on a pro-forma basis. Also, the company recently completed the acquisition of Kodak gallery's accounts and customers. Existing customers of Kodak were given the opportunity to migrate to Shutterfly systems or opt out. The company is currently in the process of migrating the customer across the systems and expects to complete the same in the third quarter.
Also, the company started offering a new service 'Treat.com' in April 2012. The service allows customers to customize and send across personalized greeting cards. The company estimates to corner a major segment of the offline greeting cards market using this service. With additional customers from the new service and migration of Kodak's customers, we expect the customer base to expand aggressively.
The 'Enterprise' base continues to exhibit aggressive growth
The company reported a net revenue of $4.6 million from its enterprise category. The revenues from the category grew almost 70% on a year over year basis. This growth was backed by trust from existing customers as well as the addition of new customers. The company expects the category's performance to improve as it outgrows its early stage nature. The enterprise category currently accounts for 5% of its total revenues. This is an increase of a single percentage point over last year second quarter performance.
Key Risks: Infrastructure Costs Soar, Off-cycle business may be slower than expected
One of the primary risks to our price estimate is increase in infrastructure costs associated with aggressive user base expansion. With a high growth rate, the company will have to invest in new storage space and manufacturing facilities to meet the demand.
Also, the current quarter is an off-cycle quarter for the company. The business this quarter can be slower than expected on the backs of international events like the as the London Olympics, the upcoming presidential election, the challenges in the Euro zone and the U.S.'s upcoming fiscal cliff, which may occupy consumers' mind share.
Furthermore, if competition from Apple and HP intensifies, there could be an impact on the growth in customer base across both the categories. This in turn, may make the operating costs and the costs associated with recent acquisitions, service launches seem formidable which will impact the margins. This could lead to a slowdown in the company's expansion in the U.S. market.

Brilliant nappies love them
Very good bought olds off different one this is the best
Ideal nappies from birth onwards. Very absorbant and no leaks even when the nappy gets very full. The only difference we can spot when compared with a more expensive leading brand of nappy is that the Just For Bums are slightly less shapely around the body, but as they are still a good snug and secure fit this is reaLly no problem at all.
Delivery was brilliant,always in contact with delivery driver ,price of nappies was better than supermarket ,fit on babies was good as we have twins which are different weights .highly recommend Kiddicare for all babies and children needs.
My daughter in law has tried everything available on the market to make sure she uses the best and Kiddicare are the best! So easy to use, no leaking, comfortable fit, no nappy rashes - in fact perfect in every aspect. Delivery - Wow!! ordered late one evening and nappies delivered by 9.00 am the following day - doesn`t get any better than that.
