Miami Beach could finally have a new city manager by Wednesday.
Mayor Matti Herrera Bower placed an item on Wednesday's regular commission agenda "to select the city manager."
Two candidates are vying for the position: former County Commissioner and current Doral City Attorney Jimmy Morales, and 40-year City of Miami staffer Frank Rollason.
A third finalist — Monica Cepero, an assistant to the county administrator in Broward County — dropped out of the race in late February.
Miami Beach has been without a permanent top-administrator since July 2012, when Jorge Gonzalez stepped down amid a slew of corruption scandals and arrests. He was never implicated in the hanky-panky, and even reported some of the bad behavior himself to authorities.
The city's next manager will have plenty to do: The Beach is embarking on a massive overhaul of its old convention center, a project that's expected to cost up to $1 billion. The new manager will also be expected to clean up and restore confidence in what many residents say is a corrupt government.

Poochyena has many difficulties to face when trying to find a spot on a team. It not only has terrible stats, but also sports a largely unimproved movepool that limits its possibilities. Its one bright spot is its decent ability, Quick Feet, which allows it to outspeed many threats when afflicted with a status condition. That bright spot isn't nearly enough to make Poochyena decent, and it should never be seriously considered for a teamslot.
Poochyena reaches 21 Speed when Quick Feet is activated, outspeeding every unboosted Pokemon in Little Cup. If Poochyena can get a Howl boost on the turn Toxic Orb activates, it can become a fearsome sweeper. Sadly, Poochyena will rarely be able to do this, as most opponents will just stay in and attack. Facade is actually Poochyena's most powerful move when affected by status, while Crunch hits Ghost-types and is a solid STAB move that doesn't rely on the status boost. Fire Fang is the best move in the last slot to hit Steel-types such as Ferroseed and Magnemite super effectively.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Ice Fang and Thunder Fang are options, but they have little additional coverage with Poochyena's other moves. Iron Tail can hit Rock-types such as Dwebble, but has low accuracy and poor coverage otherwise. Super Fang could deal steady damage to most opponents, but most of Poochyena's moves do more. Poochyena learns quite a few support options, such as Roar, Taunt, Yawn, and Heal Bell, but is much too frail to take advantage of these moves. Snatch could be used with good prediction to steal a Dragon Dance from Dratini attempting to set up. Protect is a good option for Poochyena, as it can let Poochyena safely activate its Toxic Orb. Dig is useful to hit Steel-types that aren't weak to Fire Fang such as Aron, but it is easily countered since it takes two turns. Swagger could be used to give an opponent problems, but it is too unreliable, much like Poochyena itself.
Checks and Counters
Fighting-types such as Scraggy and Mienfoo easily defeat Poochyena with their STAB moves. Rock-types, especially Aron and Dwebble, wall Poochyena if they have decent Defense, as Poochyena doesn't hit very hard. Priority moves in general will usually KO Poochyena, especially after a few turns of Toxic Orb damage.

Friends of the Clark to Travel to Boston March 24
For Immediate Release
March 03, 2004
The Clark Art Institute will sponsor a day trip to Boston on Wednesday, March 24. The group will see two special exhibitions of art from hotter climes: Gauguin-Tahiti at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and Made in Mexico/Hecho en México at the Institute of Contemporary Art. The group will depart the Clark at 7:30 a.m. and return at approximately 7:30 p.m. Cost for the trip is $100 per person for members; the price includes motor coach transportation, admission, tour guide fees, and a snack on the return home. Space is limited; reservations are required by March 17. To reserve, call the membership office at 413-458-2303, extension 225.
Paul Gauguin's years in Tahiti produced his most powerful and mysterious canvases, full of brilliant color and exotic subjects. Gauguin-Tahiti traces Gauguin's career from his departure for Tahiti in 1891 until his death in the Marquesa Islands in 1903. The exhibition of more than 150 works by Gauguin received rave reviews in Paris. The MFA is its only U.S. stop.
Made in Mexico highlights the work of twenty international artists who explore Mexico as a site for both artistic inspiration and cultural commentary. In work ranging from photography and video to sculpture and installation, these artists express their views of the country, its history, and how it is seen by the rest of the world.
Day trips and international travel opportunities are among the many benefits of membership in the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute. For more information, 413-458-2303, extension 225.

Discussion in 'Major League Baseball' started by Jokersgoon, Nov 21, 2011.
I said AFTER the loafing on the field incident. I doubt they'd be interested now.......
tee hee
From 2006 to 2009, the Red Sox basically had a revolving door of pretty mediocre, weak-hitting shortstops. They tried Alex Gonzalez, Julio Lugo, and Nick Green and none of them really worked. Undoubtedly the Red Sox would have loved Hanley Ramirez manning the position during those years even if he was the second coming of Manny Ramirez. Performance trumps work ethic.
What difference does it make?
Well still waiting for a link for a proposed Red Sox trade AFTER the loafing incident with Hanley and Freddi......c'mon lets see those links.
Reread my posts and you'll see why it makes a difference.
Your opinion is worth less than my dogs currenlty worm infested sh*t, but here you go! http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/plenty-foul-picks-dubious-award-news-picks-top-ten-baseball-turkeys-2009-article-1.419578 page 2 #7 under david samson. Youre a special kind of dumbass because no digging is needed to understand that boston has tried to get hanley back for YEARS. Its all over page one of my google search. There are even rumors of them trying to get him back now.
Hanley supporters? Lol I'm one of the few in miami. Most people feel the same way you do. Im calling whatever nursing home you're in to make sure they limit your access to the internet.
But its been SINCE 2009 that Hanley has been a problem here. A proposed March 2009 trade is well before the problems & bad attitude of the last two seasons appeared.
I did. They don't really answer the question. It's bizarre to focus on that one incident.
If the Red Sox are less interested, it probably has more to do with Hanley's injury status and/or diminished production since 2009 and not his attitude. Or the fact that they have Scutaro locked up through 2012.
Again that is a link to an article BEFORE "Lollygag gate". I want to see something since then......c'mon smart guys give me those links.
And your personal shots are really unnecessary.
How about you find a report of his bad attitude and problems after the 2009 ball boot from a credible source? And not some retard saying he has issues, but SPECIFIC INCIDENCES.
Unless I'm mistaken I suggest you check the date the article was published.
You are contradicting yourself. You just said that the Red Sox traded him to the Marlins in the first because of his attitude problems. So by your very own account, Hanley has been a "problem" long before the incident you are talking about even took place.
You can't just change your argument. That's crap.
I believe that incident is where a lot of Hanley's continued bad attitude has come from. It was the 1st time he had been publicly lam basted and I don't think he has ever gotten over it. He still carries resentment to this day.
Not really, there have been rumors his whole career of attitude. The "Lollygag" incident is just when the problem came to the forefront for all to see.
Yeah, he's being really inconsistent and contradicting himself. His whole argument has been that Hanley's been a headcase since his minor league days with Boston. In that case, I don't see why the lollygagging incident really makes a difference in terms of trade interest.
So again, the Red Sox who by your own words traded him because of his attitude were not aware of Hanley's attitude problems until the Lollygag incident?
You can't have it both ways.
Haven't changed my argument. Not at all. He has had an attitude problem for years, and when Boston wanted to get rid of someone with so much potential it has to raise an eyebrow. I think Hanley was contented for a while, especially after Miggy was gone and then he was "the Man" with his new contract. Then "Lollygag Gate" happened and he's been a headache since then, off the field with attitude, and on the field with subpar play. Bringing Reyes here, and paying Reyes more and on top of that asking Hanley to move positions, I am not sure that even a "raise" on his contract will make him happy.
People can grow up, and many thought he had "turned the corner", but Lollygag brought all of it back. His rep from the old days he just could not, and seemingly cannot now shed.

ADA Press Release
ADA, Health Volunteers Overseas Announce Rebuilding Efforts for Haitian Dental Offices
Initiative seeks to raise $300,000 by end of this year
Contact Information:
Telephone: 312-440-2806
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com (Journalists) or Contact ADA (All Others)
CHICAGO, July 21, 2010 – The American Dental Association (ADA) through its Division of Global Affairs and Health Volunteers Overseas (HVO) announce a joint initiative to help rebuild or re-equip some 30 Port-au-Prince dental practices damaged or destroyed by the earthquake in Haiti earlier this year.
HVO is a U.S. non-profit organization dedicated to improving the availability and quality of health care in developing countries through the training and education of local health care providers.
Nearly a third of dental offices affected by earthquake
The effort by the two organizations, "Adopt-a-Practice: Rebuilding Dental Offices in Haiti," seeks to raise $300,000 by the end of this year. Port-au-Prince lost nearly a third of its dental offices because of the January earthquake.
"With about 350 dentists for a population of 9 million, Haiti has the lowest ratio of dentists per population in the Western hemisphere," said Dr. Samuel Prophete, president, Haiti Dental Association. "Our biggest challenge actually is to try to do as much as we can to give the dentists who lost their practices after the earthquake the opportunity to rebuild and stay in the country in order to better serve their fellow Haitians."
"Because of the depressed economy in Haiti, even small contributions will go a long way toward putting dentists back on their feet so that they can resume their practices," said ADA President Ronald L. Tankersley. "A shortage of dental care pre-existed the earthquake in Haiti. So it is critical that we do what we can to help restore the country's dental workforce."
How to donate to the Adopt-a-Practice fund
An estimated $10,000 can greatly contribute to rebuilding each practice, according to Dr. Prophete. So your donation—no matter the amount—can make an enormous impact in the communities surrounding earthquake-devastated Haiti. Donors can contribute to the Adopt-a-Practice fund at http://www.hvousa.org/membershipForm/haiti.php. HVO also accepts donations by phone at 1-202-296-0928 and by mail to Health Volunteers Overseas, 1900 L Street, NW #310, Washington, D.C. 20036. Donation checks must be made payable to Health Volunteers Overseas and the memo line should read: ADA/HVO Haiti.

Hi Team,
Bumped some random key and just accidentally deleted the post I had entered, so here's the shorty version:
1) I love our little group, I feel like we all know each other so well! I'd vote for keeping our group going, and we can double subscribe to both groups for those who want to. (Cajunbluez - they seem like a fun bunch of people also!)
2) Can't wait to see everyone's progress at the end of 12 weeks! I've been my own worst enemy this past week, hormonal, bloated and HUNGRY, these darned carb cravings have NOT gone away! Just trying to "keep it between the lines" like Stephon said, but it's like my crazy 12 year old bouncing off the sidewalls of a go-kart track with the pedal jammed all the way to the floor this week! 'Nuff said.
3) Found 2 bikinis, a tankini and a malliot swimsuit today, woo-hoo! According to my husband they have "too much fabric", he told me he had hoped I would come home with something skimpier......told him I need to not mortify the kids on vacation in front of their teammates!
4) A couple possible names for the group:
B2 (as in "B Squared"), could stand for Bikini Bottoms / Buff Biceps
Quad Squad
Lunging Lunatics
Gym Rats
Okay, need to get to bed, have a great final HIIT tomorrow everyone! And Solid Rocker........I'm in on the 5k for tomorrow after the HIIT portion is done..........want to up the ante to 5 miles? Seriously, I'll do it if you will, even if I have to walk/crawl/yell like Claude to get there!
Glad to see your daughter is joining us Stephon, have her post a little "hello" message so we can get to know her, and tell her we say "Welcome aboard"!
Happy Happy HAPPY SATURDAY WEEK #12!!!!
Congratulations everybody!!! WE HAVE MADE IT!! * pats on your back *
TINA - Didn't see your post in time to respond (2 a.m.? Yikes) But I got up a little late this morning due to heavy storms in our area last night had me waking up and not able to go back to sleep. Although I was running a little short on time; I hit 2 miles at 19:55, 3.1 miles at 31:00, and went on to run 4 MILES in exactly 40 minutes!!! What a great wrap up to challenge #1: This was the first time I've ran 4 miles since starting to run again! I can honestly say that I could have kept going to 5 miles if the time to do it had been there! Thanks for the challenge Tina! All my Saturday runs from now on will be HIIT for 20 minutes and then anywhere from 5k to 5 miles.
Have a Blessed day and lets get ready for C2!
Blessings <><
SolidRocker - the 2am was due to the coffee I drank while trying to warm up in the hockey rink last night, kept me up WAY too late!
I think we run at about the same pace for distance, I hit the 5 mile mark at 49:22 today. I was DYING afterwards, went to wash the sweat off my face and it was beet-red, when I do my normal HIIT for 20 minutes I am barely sweating at the end, guess I just need to run longer! The 5 miles was a stretch for me, I've never in my life run that far. But when I finished I thought "dang, that was almost a 10K, that would be doable by the end of summer...............just a thought!
I cheated a bit and didn't use any incline, was feeling a bit funky when I started the run. I "lost" a minute somewhere on one of my earlier intervals, so ran the last 45 seconds at 9 mph to see how far I could get in 20 minutes. I actually hit 2:16 miles at 20 minutes, due to no incline and the last gasp push on minute 20!
Everyone - what would you think about "mini-challenges" during our AR week? I saw this one one of the other threads, where the members receive an extra "challenge" each month, I think recently it was to do one burpee each day of the month to correspond with the number (so on the first you would do one burpee, on the 10th you'd do 10, etc). Maybe we could challenge ourselves to 25 pushups, 25 squats, 50 crunches for 100 movements each AR day, call it our "dollar a day" challenge since we'd hit 100 moves ($1.00) each day? Since we won't be doing our regular workouts, this will help keep a little more "Active" in Active Rest! I'm really looking forward to a week of "unstructured" workouts, just doing some fun activities like swimming, running with the boys on the beach (NOT in my swimsuit though!), rockclimbing wallls, ziplines, and whatever else a teenager and pre-teen can throw at their mom!
I was going back over my results and took my weight/measurements today, my "paper" results the first 8 weeks were much better than the last 4 weeks. I was much less strict with my diet this past 4 weeks, too many BLT's (bites, licks and tastes), and my calorie counts were higher because I was just so darned hungry all the time. I think part of it may have been just dealing with the mental/emotional issues surrounding my MIL's death as well (she passed away the day week 9 started), and I think I mentally gave myself permission to loosen up a bit, I had been wound pretty tight the past several months trying to keep everything together. I'm okay with that, I knew what I was doing and still rocked every single workout. It will be fun to see what my body fat percentage change is, I'm getting it tested Monday morning for my 12 week results, and will post pix and final numbers then. It will be fun to see what everyone has done - I didn't meet all my goals that I set 12 weeks ago, but I'm darned close on some of them, and THAT is a success in my book!
We are heading out on vacation Thursday, I will be starting C2 with you all on the 3rd and doing the best I can with the temptations in front of me!
Hello Team! Today is the end of the 12 week contest for me. I started on a Sat. and ended today. I however didn't finish like I would. I am still posting my beginning and ending photos and am starting again April 3rd. The second contest I am going to end much better!!
Stephon...I vote to start our own group. Any name is great! I kind of liked Quad Squad. Rockin Rebels sounds good too! Any way, let me know what it will be and I will be there. Thank you!
I am excited for each of you that have done this contest til the end and made great changes. You are all so wonderful! Can't wait to see pics!!
Here are mine:
Starting: Ending:
Okay, so not exactly fabulous..but improvement. Here's to contest 2!!!
Happy 12 weeks my friends!!! (Scroll Down)
What a wonderful 12 weeks it has been for all of us. I certainly stayed dedicated and never looked back once I started to see progress.
Jaimee-Your pictures look fantastic. Your overall decrease in weight and size are really impressive. Congratulations on a job well done.
SolidRocker-You continue to strive for the top and it shows with all your treadmill exercises. Your recent 4 miles run is off the charts. I can barely make it to 2 miles. Keep up the great work and congrats on your 5k run. You deserve a ton of credit for your dedication and motivation. See you in C2.
Tina-I have one suggestion for you. Listen to your husband and go get those skimpy bikinis. He gave you the go ahead. Lol. You have inspired me in more ways than one with your posts and encouragement. I certainly hope we can all do the next challenge close together because we really have someone nice going here. I followed your progress on the treadmill and was really excited when you hit the 2-mile marker. Remember that!!! Well, before I run out of room, I want to sum up my results.
Unfortunately, I did not measure my arms, legs etc. I did weigh myself and measure my waist. Here are the official results:
1/3/2011 3/27/2011
Weight 192.8 172.8
Waist 38-39 33
Arms ? 13'
Legs-Thighs ? 17'
Legs-Calves ? 12.5
The real results were in my cholesterol, triglycerides, blood pressure etc. I was removed off all medications accept one which is a life long medication. As you guys may remember I had heart surgery at age 34. I had a defective aortic value. I will tell you that I almost had to stop this nutrition program at one time. I pushed on and overcame the rough time. Here are the other numbers:
1/3/2011 3/27/2011
Cholesterol 230 169
Triglycerides 468 89
Blood Pressure 152/90 111/70
I have posted my pictures to my profile. Was not sure how to add to web forum.
Let me know everyone's thoughts.
Best Wishes
Oh My Gosh Scott!!!! You have done GREAT! You look really good! I am shocked by your triglycerides number. That in itself was worth all the hard work!
I hope you will be with us in C2!!!!!!
Congrats Scott! Your numbers show how well this lifestyle really works! Way to go!
Jaimee - Your progress in your pictures is awesome! You should be so proud of yourself!
I was unable to weigh, since I refuse to own a scale at home and not able to go to the gym due to daughter's stomach bug (on the way to recovery :)) but I did check the messurements I took kinda late in the game. I am down 2 1/2 inches in my waist and the same in my thighs. I plan to measure better for challenge 2. I was even able to fit into the top that was my goal, which is perfect for this wonderufl spring/summer like weather we are having here in South Texas! I did take pictures and will attempt to post them soon. The best thing is I feel better than 12 weeks ago and my hubby and I are looking around for a 5K to enter (thanks Stephon for that motivation!) Everyone enjoy your free day and active rest week.! WE DID IT!!!!!
Just wanted to post my official results of C3 BFL
When I started BFL in April 4 2010 it was just after April fools. and I weighted 200.3lbs and said to myself, Wow I can't believe I got that big. I wasn't that big in my life. So here I am now almost one year later.
For Challenge 3#
Starting Date 01/03/2011
Weighted in at = 185.5
rt thigh=22.5
lt thigh=22.5
7 weeks later of C3
weight =177.6
rt thigh=21.5
lt thigh=21.5
Then I got my body fat done and my BMI done.
body fat was 43.4%
BMI was 29.7%
Week 12 of C3
weight = 171.8
abs= 38
rt thigh=20.5
lt thigh=20.5
body fat now 40.5%
BMI now 28.6
I was hoping to reach 170, That was my goal for Challenge 3, Next time I will hit my next goal make for Challenge 4... =)
Boom ~ Chica ~ woot.
I just have a second, so I just want to give everyone a well deserved CONGRATULATIONS for making it this Challenge! I've read all your posts and viewed all your results, and am blown away happy for everyone!
My pictures get taken this evening, but my morning weigh in for the final time came in at 194 lbs, 27.5%BF, 25.0 BMI. That's down from 230lbs, 31.9%BF, 29.7 BMI. So I am really happy with the results this challenge, but have a ways to go to see those abs and pecs that are still a bit concealed. But, that's what challenge #2 coming up is ALL ABOUT....taking it to the NEXT level, eh??
I'll write more later when I have the time. right now, gotta get back to work (yes, it's a work day for me today).
Well everyone...my final photos are up...but haven't posted my measurements yet...have to get to bed..will post tomorrow night. KEEP UP THE WORK EVERYONE....I am resting for a week and joining the Q2Crew for another Challenge on 4/4.
Scott, Jaimee and Cajun.............
I am so proud of all of you, and so impressed by all your photos!!!!!!!!!! It is so cool to see what progress you all made in 12 short weeks - especially in the abs area, every one of you! And Stephon - your numbers are very impressive, I'm guessing the pix will be as well!
My husband is taking my "after" photos for me tomorrow, and I'm getting my body fat tested after that, I'll try to get them up by evening. Only down 11.5 pounds total for the 12 weeks, but lost 4" off my waist, 3.5" off my hips, and 1.5" off each thigh, so I'm really happy with the results. Can't wait to find out my new body fat percentage tomorrow!
I had a very free free day today, and boy was it good! Chocolate donut after church, pizza for lunch, taquitos for dinner, and a misc. other snacks here and there!
I need to set some concrete goals for C2, and be as diligent about the eating as I am about the lifting....my appetite is my downfall, I was never that date in highschool who would just order a salad for dinner!
Have a great week of AR all, and looking forward to hearing the rest of your results!
Hope everyone had a great FREE DAY!! I know I did.
Well, my profile is updated with before and after pictures, BUT I won't have before and after measurements until tomorrow probably...just been a busy day today with work and all.
I haven't had a chance to look at everyone's updated pics and info. but will do so over my AR week (what else am I gonna do? LOL)
Everyone get rested up, and get ready for C2!!!
Cajun!!!!!!!!!! Are you kidding me???!!!!! You look FANTASTIC!!!
All I can say is....look...it works :) Thanks Jaimee and MN Mom...I hope you ladies are joining us on Q2Crew for round 2. Facebook me if you want...stay in touch! Karla Cormier
Good Evening Team,
Well, I am blown away by everyone's pictures and results. I will agree that i went over board on my free day and paying for it today. One of my C2 goals was to have a free meal instead of a free day. I will keep everyone posted on the progress. My first day of C2 was a success NOT only at the gym but I really fine tuned my eating meal plan.
Cajunbluez-Your photos look wonderful. You have a lot to be proud with those results. Congrats.
Tina- You have done extremely well throughout the 12 weeks. I am excited to see your results as well. Keep it up and think about C2. I can help with some of the ideas. I have really studied the C2 challenge by reading other forums and changing some things. I know 11.5 pounds is tough. Just think of your progress. Congrats to you as well.
Solidrocker-Wow. Awesome results along with a strong attitude to succeed. Kudos to your hard work as well.
Jaimee- Thanks for the nice works. It was hard but worth every ounce of effort. You keep up your efforts as well. You have strong drive and determination.
I think we certainly can agree on a couple of things. First, THE BODY FOR LIFE PROGRAM REALLY WORKS WELL. Second, we have a great support group. Finally, our way of life has improved 100%.
Just to make a comment. I am now in C2 and more determined then every to see those ABS. I don't know who quotes this, but "YOU HAVE NOT SEE ANYTHING YET."
Enjoy your evening and keep the updates coming.

Akoy Agau is ready to transition from Eagle purple to Cardinal red.
The Omaha Central basketball player signed Wednesday with Louisville, the team he'd chosen publicly in late September after visiting the school.
He said he's not expecting Cardinals coach Rick Pitino to redshirt him, in part because the team could have three players go in next year's National Basketball Association draft.
"He told me he sees me being a factor and coming in and playing right away," Agau said. "I didn't want to go to some place for three years and not play. I'm definitely excited to come in as a freshman and do things."
Agau, considered the state's most sought-after college prospect of the past 20 years, said he never wavered from his September decision to go with coach Rick Pitino's team — although the possibility of going to Nebraska stayed with him.
The 6-foot-9 senior never took an official visit to NU and canceled his only other planned visit, to Georgetown, after getting a look at Louisville.
"For a student-athlete, it's the one time you get to be selfish and make one decision for yourself," Agau said. "This is a new chapter in my life. Things will be different. New challenges, new people, new places."
Agau's new Central teammate, Omaha North transfer Nick Billingsley, signed his letter of intent with UNO at the ceremony. Also there were new University of Nebraska at Omaha recruits Colin Buckley in men's tennis and Lia Mancuso in softball.
Josiah Gustafson of Millard North, the other returning All-Nebraska boys basketball player, signed with Division II Pittsburg State of the MIAA.
At least 18 girls signed Division I letters for volleyball, including the Nebraska-bound threesome of Papillion-La Vista South players: twins Amber and Kadie Rolfzen and Kelly Hunter.
NU also signed Seward guard Hannah Tvrdy in women's basketball. The other Division I signings Wednesday in women's basketball were Alexa Kastanek of Lincoln Southeast, bound for Iowa; Haley Moore of Milford (Eastern Michigan); and Kourteney Zadina of Seward (Northern Colorado).

Virtual Graphics Card-Play latest Games without Graphic Cards
by piscianemperor
This sounds almost too good to be true,doesn't it?
Many times we are stuck up with a system that just doesn't provide enough juice to run the latest game…the result being-
- you either spend a pot of money (atleast Rupees 3500 or 70$) for getting the latest graphics card
- or you just read reviews of games like Crysis , Far Cry on gamespot and feel like a noob,fully knowing that your system just won't be able to support it.
Take heart ! Here's a wicked software with which you can beat 128-256 MB of graphics card requirements with a very modest 1GB DDR2 RAM.
The savior is 3D-Analyzer.Click to download.
What it does is,it uses a part of your RAM as Graphics card memory. For example,if you got 1GB DDR2 RAM,then it'll use 128MB of it as a Virtual Graphics card,and the remaining 896MB will be used as a regular RAM.
Cool right….so you can Virtually emulate NVIDIA GeForce TI 4600,NVIDIA GeForce FX 4900 ULTRA,ATi Radeon 8500,ATi Radeon 9800 PRO.Follow the given procedure:
After downloading the software,first install it.
You'll see something like this:
Next,click on 'Select' option.
Select FarCry.exe
Next step,select the options as shown.Note that i have selected the VendorID as 4098 and DeviceID 20400 as i want to select the ATi Radeon 9800 PRO graphics card(use the index provided in the screen on the right). Click on Run.Doesn't matter even if you don't save the batch file.Your ready to roll ! Please note that the .exe file is to be selected from the main folder,and not the shortcut present on the desktop.
I got Oblivion 4 and Neverwinter Nights 2 to work using this. For running Oblivion however,you need to install a patch called Oldblivion.Click to download and follow the instuctions on Oldblivion site.
For Neverwinter Nights 2,you need to tweak the stuff a bit.
Go to Start->Run->regedit.Then press F3 and search for hardwareinformation.memorysize.Click on the file,and modify the binary values to 00 00 00 08.This fools the system into believing that you have 128MB video RAM.Then select only the 'emulate hw tnl caps' option.Do not select any other.Select ATi Radeon 9800.Click on Run.
On Popular Demand :
Here is a video showing how to choose the settings for FIFA 09. The procedure is basically the same for any other game. The Vendor ID and Device ID are not properly visible in the video and are 4098 and 20040 respectively.
Please read:
Hello! I am glad to see the overwhelming response. I wrote this post way back in 2009, when graphics cards were not so common. Moreover the games 3 years back were not as graphics intensive as the games right now. This is how heavy some of the games 8 months back were- I have a Alienware laptop with 2GB graphics, 4GB RAM and a i7 quad core processor. Even then, Call of Duty black ops used to run at very low frame rate. It was almost a pin playing it. That choppy.
My point is- no game you guys are trying to make work is going to work with this software. There is no other option except to go for a graphics card- that too a high end one. Or else, get a Xbox/ Playstation. Hence, I am closing the comments on this post.
Thank you.

The original un-censored lyrics:
I'm wild again
Beguiled again
A simpering, whimpering child again
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
Couldn't sleep
And wouldn't sleep
Until I could sleep where I shouldn't sleep
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
Lost my heart but what of it?
My mistake I agree.
he's a laugh, but I like it
because the laugh's on me.
A pill he is
But still he is
All mine and I'll keep him until he is
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered
Like me.
These are being used in the new revue "With A Song In My Hart" - based on the sophisticated and witty lyrics of Lorenz Hart. Being performed for three nights only on 10th, 11th and 12th June, 8pm, at The Mill studio in Guildford. Tickets £10 (£8 concession) from 01483 44 00 00

Brewery announces record breaking news: 226,000 visitors from all over the world visited Prazdroj last year (Translation)
13 January 2011
Plzeň, 12 January 2011 - Last year, Plzeňský Prazdroj brewery attracted 226,720 visitors to the West Bohemian metropolis, 4.5% more than in 2009. The tourist attractions of the Pilsner Urquell and Gambrinus breweries, together with the Beer Brewing Museum and the Plzeň Historic Underground, were seen by people from more than 100 countries from all over the world. The Visitor Centre of Plzeňský Prazdroj recorded the most significant increase in the number of Czech visitors, which rose by nearly 40%.
"The increasing popularity of Prazdroj as a tourist destination was mainly boosted by the interest of domestic visitors, a fact we appreciate the most. Like last year, we were able to offer them some new attractions, and on top of that we had the advantage of a 2010 trend where Czechs and Moravians stayed home for vacations and were looking for domestic touring destinations. The opening of the second Plzeň brewery, Gambrinus, to the public played a major role with domestic beer consumers," commented Tomáš Raboch from the Plzeňský Prazdroj brewery's department of tourism.
The portion of Czechs as a total number of visitors makes up nearly half of the grand total. Germans remained in second place, with 5% more coming in 2010 than the previous year. The 43,000 visitors from Germany represent almost 20% of all visitors, a big portion. Pilsner Urquell is also traditionally popular in Taiwan, with 10,000 visitors coming from there.
"Taiwanese visitors held their third-place position and their number increased by 38%. On the other hand, Australians, Bulgarians, and Mexicans, typically small groups of visitors, started to visit in higher numbers thanks to our active participation in international tourism fairs and our cooperation with the Czech Tourism Agency. The visitor-rate increase during the last year was also supported by group tourism activities, while the short-term decrease in 2009 was the result of a global plunge in tourism in general," added Tomáš Raboch.
Plzeň brewery has also traditionally offered conference rooms to be used for organising various events and parties. Conference Centre Secese was used by many more organisations and firms in comparison with the previous year. The brewery received a huge amount of interest in the organisation of conferences, meetings, parties, and even private events, especially during the fall and winter seasons.
Among the novelties of the past year we can mention especially the new sightseeing tour at Gambrinus, which includes not only brewing spaces such as the cooking and filling rooms but also the interactive "Gambrinus Arena" and school of beer tapping, which was fully open to the public in August as a part of the Pilsner Fest. The gift shop in the brewery's courtyard also recorded an increase in sales. During the last year, the gift shop underwent a major interior reconstruction and now offers a wider range of beer-related items.
Notes for the editors
- Areas of Plzeňský Prazdroj offered to visitors of Plzeň include the Visitors Centre, Visitors Path, Pilsner Urquell and Gambrinus breweries, Beer Brewing Museum, and Plzeň Historic Underground downtown.
- The brewery belongs to the group of the most attractive destinations in the Czech Republic.
- To get inspired to visit, people can visit the pages at www.prazdrojvisit.cz, which are dedicated exclusively to sightseeing tours and services offered to visitors by the brewery.
- Besides Czech, English, and German, visitors can take tours in French, Chinese, and Russian.
- The brewery also offers the cultural centre Secese, which is ready for the staging of a wide variety of celebrations, showcases, and cultural and educational events.
- The Beer Brewing Museum in Plzeň is located in the original house from the First War era, which has been preserved untouched in its authentic condition on Veleslavínova Street. It was opened in 1959 for the centennial celebration of the trademark "Plzeňské pivo" beer from Pilsen.
- An 800-metre-long sightseeing loop of Plzeň Historic Underground is accessible from the Beer Brewing Museum. The labyrinth of catacombs, cellars, and wells was built in the 14th century and is connected with both the history and present times of the town.
- In 2010, 226,000 visitors from all around the world visited the brewery, Beer Brewing Museum, and Historic Underground.

NEW ORLEANS, La.-After placing in the top eight at the recent NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, Oral Roberts senior Clive Chafausipo (long jump) and junior Jack Whitt (pole vault) have been named to the USTFCCCA All-American First Team in their respective events. Additionally, Jeffery Gibson was named a second team All-American and Camila Pirelli earned honorable mention honors from the organization.
As a team, the ORU men's track and field team finished the season ranked 20th in the nation according to the points scored at the national championship meet. The Summit League as a conference ranked sixth, behind the ACC.
Whitt became the second outdoor track and field National Champion in the history of ORU as he cleared the bar at 5.65m (18-6.5), four inches higher than the second place competitor from UCLA. It was a school record mark for Whitt.
Chafausipo won his flight and finished fourth overall in the long jump, doing so with a mark of 7.82m in the championship. Although not his longest jump of the year, Chafausipo did set the school record in his senior campaign, doing so in the preliminary rounds as he finished as the West Region runner-up to qualify for the championship. Entering the NCAA preliminary rounds, Chafausipo was ranked 18th in the region.
Gibson qualified for the NCAA Championships in the 400m hurdles, and finished 12th overall with a time of 50.72 seconds, just 0.03 seconds off his school record time.
Pirelli set a school record in the javelin to qualify for the NCAA championships and went on to finish 20th to earn her honorable mention honors.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I love our wedding invitations. At first I thought the color of the vineyard picture was an odd color, so I had them customize it to make it brighter. Once I saw it in person though, it was too bright. I called them up and they allowed me to return the product for a refund without any hassle. Now I'll receive the same invite in it's original color. I couldn't be happier with their customer service; quick, hassle free, helpful, and friendly. I can't wait to get the new ones, so we can send them off!"
"Awesome, simple invitations. Goes perfectly with the rustic vineyard theme I am going for. The paper is textured, but great quality. With a couple added personal touches (lace, ribbon) this invite will be perfect!"
"Able to customize the color of the letters, but wish I could've customized the color of the graphics. Otherwise, wonderful service and beautiful product - we are very happy"
"I was very happy with all aspects of my order. I called in and received customer service advice on the wording to use. I found the paper quality to be high, and the invitation looked just as nice in real life as in my hand. It was perfect for our California vineyard wedding. I selected rush order, and the invitations arrived a day earlier than promised. Very satisfied."
"These invitations were absolutely perfect! All of our guests loved them and we could not be more happy with how they turned out. I would recommended wedding paper divas to all of my friends. Excellent quality products!"

22 oz bottle from 2012 bottling. Says best after 8/2013. Aged since 11/2012. Poured into Belgian ale glass directly from aging refrigerator so served around 52 degrees.
A) Reddish to cordovan, moderate carbonation bubbles. 2/3 finger head when poured, not very much retention, thin ring left.
S) Sour cherries, mustiness from yeast, maybe some citus or lemongrass
T) Very smooth and very complex. Cherries and citrus, not too much funk at all, not very sour at beginning. Finish is sweeter. Really well done.
M) Medium to full bodied, not as much carbonation as indicated by looking at it, really no evidence of the 11.4% alcohol content. This is really well-done.
Russian River Supplication has been surpassed. This is masterful. Will have to grab more than one bottle the next time they release.

2010 vintage. Batch 2. Best after 11/01/11. Poured from a 22 oz bottle into a Deschutes snifter glass. Acquired in a trade from nedvalton, thank you sir!
A- Pours a hazy, muddy brownish- maroon body with a two finger white head that reduces slowly to a white ring of foam.
S- Smells of funky brett, tart lactic acid, sharp sour lemons, grass, caramel/toffee, dark cherries, white wine, grapes. So complex, aromatic, and inviting. I can't wait to sip this.
T- Wow.. this is amazing. The first thing you notice is the tart cherries/citrus notes. I wouldn't call this acidic.. I'd call it on the higher end of tart. The tartness combines with some funkyness coupled with a slight astringent hoppiness. The finish is sweet with some very nice vanilla, caramel, toffee, burnt toast, charred bready notes. Very complex.
M- Medium body, good drinkability, medium carbonation.
I've really been looking forward to trying this beer and it didn't disappoint! Super complex and balanced. Very well done, Deschutes. 4 years has done wonders.

The beer comes in a dark rusty reddish brown.
The aroma has tons of tart cherries, vinegar sourness, some alcohol.
The flavor follows with a punch of "old" sour cherries, vinegar, some caramel and toffee sweetness, oak, and then a hit of alcohol.
The alcohol is decently hidden, but still shines through as something that is quite big. 11% is not a huge surprise however. I prefer the beers in the style to be less alcoholic and more refreshing. Still a wonderfully complex and delicious beer.

Cloudy cloudy cloudy. Amber. Small tan head. Poor head retention.
Cherries and tart fruit. Light malt. Goaty funk.
Big fruity flavour followed up by sourness. Nice earthy character than combines with lactic acid. Cherries really pop.
Moderate body with moderate carbonation. Solid.
Excellent beer. The tartness and fruit works well. Nice stuff.

Bottle shared by Liam, batch 3
Hazed red colour, ring of off white head, not much in the way of lace either. Smell is full of cherry and oak, vinious and fruity, red berry, alcohol at points and some malt/wheat as well. Taste is of cherry but also fairly malty before getting to oak and tart fruits, drying sour berry with a bit of alcohol flavours on the back end. Medium drying carbonation, medium body. Quite good, but I feel this would benefit from a bit more time but would have it again gladly anytime.

Shared at a tasting by nrbw23. I had been wanting to try this beer for quite a while. Thanks Brad.
A) Dirty rust water brown. A thin, soapy head dies off but swirling helps. Spotty lace.
S) Lots of dark sour cherries with a pastry-like backing. Hints of vinegar. Interesting in that is has a sugary but not sweet smell.
T) Only moderately sour but it still has a good amount of sour cherries to it. Semi-sweet dark bread. Very faint hints of spices. Full, malty flavor but not terribly sweet. Very dry finish.
M) Medium body with slightly abrasive grittiness. Smooth, moderate feel. It's the sort of feel I can totally get behind.
D) Great to drink. I really like this one.

From a 650 ml waxed bottle (best after August 20, 2013) into a wine glass. 2012 vintage.
A-The brew is murky brownish-cherry in color. There is a short-lived soda-pop-like head of khaki foam. The visible, active carbonation keeps a patchy cap hanging around for a while. Pretty standard look for the style with a better than average reddish hue.
S-There is a lot going on here. Up front, there is sour cherry and green apple tartness paired with a big dose of funky oak that gives suggestions of vanilla. The oak also provides a nice bit of drying tannic-like smells. I also smell prune from the malts, but the prune isn't terribly sweet, and this beer is fairly dry and lacking in sugar sweetness for the style. The alcohol is spicy and warming.
T-The taste follows the smell mostly. I don't get much sour, only a light tartness with sour cherry being most noticeable. The prune and raisin component are stronger than expected, but the malty dark fruits pair well with the oaky vanilla and mild, earthy funk. The alcohol is spicy and warming, but well-integrated.
M-The feel on this year-old bottle is very soft for the style with smooth, ultra-fine carbonation. Heft is medium to full.
O-A nice effort. This brew is quite drinkable for 11.4% ABV. I originally was hoping for more tart flavors, but after about two sips, I started to really enjoy the less sweet (for the style) malt-forward character. It is complex and balanced and the taste really grew on me. I'm not sure what food this would pair with, but it drank well on its own after dinner. This is a great (and powerful) take on the style.

October 2012 bottle shared generously by who else but cbutova. Had a 'drink after' date of August 2013.
Pour is darkish amber with some haze. A small off-white head forms a ring after some time and stays as such. Nose brings a good balance of tart dark fruits, red wine, and oak.
Taste once again brings an impressive balance. It's tart and oaky but not puckering or over the top. Dark fruits, red wine, brown sugar and vanilla. Incredibly smooth for 11+% with moderate carbonation, very drinkable.
Like The Abyss, this is a testament to making a complex 11% beer very subtle. Low-end sourness and acidity sets this apart some for the style and lets the wine barrel show through a bit more.

2012 bottle, best after August 24, 2013 I think it said. Reviewed from notes taken last night. Split with my usual tasting buddies.
A- Murky blood red pour into five glasses. Appears brown in the middle with the red around the sides. Small fizzy off-white head but looks like carbonation is gonna be low. Small foamy ring after lackluster head retention and almost no lace in sight.
S- Spicy figs and dark red fruits like cherries mixed with a nice amount of wine grapes and some vinegar acetic acid hints. Slight dark brown sugar.
T- Pretty big Belgian yeast spice opens up in the flavor. The nice acetic acid and cherries carries over from the nose as well as that dusty Flanders tart funk feel. Some molasses, brown sugar and oak hints. As with the nose the wine influence is nice with grapes and some sweetness.
MF- Fairly low carbonation but the high ABV and flavors allows this to not be a huge deal. Pretty oily and moderately thick on the palate. Tart vinous bitters in the finish.
Authentic Flanders fruit vinegar feel mixed with nice Belgian yeast spice and some good darker sugar flavors. Like the wine grape and oak complexity. ABV is also non-existent.

2012 650ml maroon waxed bomber poured into tulip 7/9/13, cheers Rutager for the bottle
A murky dark amber, looks thick with bubbles struggling to get to the surface, short lived finger of foam leaves no lace
S wet wood, cheesy funk, cherries and raspberries, brown sugar, vinous notes, more earthy funk and some vanilla and spice I can't place
T caramel and a little booze but considering it's 11.4% I'd say it's well concealed, wet funky wood and sour fruit
M full bodied with mellow carbonation, slick on the palate with just a little heat, funk and brown sugar linger
O a nice mix of funk, fruit, sugars and barrel, hard to believe only 20% of this was aged on wood, something I'd look for again and I'd love another bottle to age as I could see the funk coming out down the road
I rather liked this brew and would love to try an aged bottle or other vintages, in all honesty the only reason this one made it past its best after date is I forgot I had one

Poured from a wax sealed bomber into a goblet in high elevation Kalispell, Mont. Reviewed live. Expectations are high. The "best-after" date is August 20, 2013.
A- Small, mostly clear head with active carbonation and large bubbles. Deep reddish-brown color. Slightly hazy.
S- Powerful wild yeast scent. Vinous and boozy aroma with some cherries. Strong, wild smell with distinct notes of aging. Clear it is very alcoholic.
T- Tartness and definite notes of barrel-aging. Woodenness that lends itself to chocolate and tobacco flavorings. Cherries and some red wine tannins. Complex, flavorful beer that surprisingly hides the wine-like alcoholic notes quite well. Has an aura of scotch whisky about it as well. Interesting.
M- Vinous feel with subtle carbonation. Wet finish.
O- Apart from the feel, which was just above average, this was an outstanding beer. Glad I waited to drink it. ...although I wonder what it would be like fresh.

My first bottle of the 2012 reserve. Best after 8/20, have two more bottles I'm aging so I'll re-review then. Poured into a snifter
Pours a rich brassy copper that gets nice and cloudy in the middle. Little transparency, little carbonation. Had a half finger of foam which receded quickly, moderate retention. Not bad looking for the style. Smells of cherries, oak, apple, vinegar, some citrus and some malt. Taste is upfront sour cherry and apple, which quickly turns from sour to a mild bitter. Malty after taste, gets a bit sweeter with each sip. Feel is a little bland, doesn't finish with a bang. Pretty sticky though, acids leave a nice tingle. Overall it's pretty good, and should really improve with age. The malts and yeast still have a lot of work changing over the next year hopefully leaving this beer with a tangy and sweeter kick. Looking forward to popping another in August
Re-review, 8/30/13. Hit the best after date, bomber to a snifter, 2012 reserve
Pours a nice color- caramel, amber, copper, mahogany. A very vibrant shade between red and brown. A finger of foam has quickly receded to a ring a froth in the center. A thin but steady stream of carbonation shooting from the center. Good lacing and legs, transparency near 90%, perfect score
I have a bit of a stuffy nose but the smell seems a bit muted. When I really get in there- sour cherries, oak, red wine, vinegar, apple, and a sweet malty finish. Smell has gotten a lot sweeter, melds well with the sour
Taste is with the nose, sour cherry along with some apple with the fruits, strong oak coming through along with the wine. Sweet malts come through with the finish, some good complexity
Feel is a medium body, medium sourness that's balanced nicely with the sweetness from the malts. Nice tingle on the tongue, pretty drinkable. Most all the alcohol is concealed, very smooth
Overall: Better color, development of legs, oak and wine coming through much stronger on nose and taste, sweeter finish, better feel. Has definitely improved through the aging and very nicely, can't wait to get more this year, I'll re review a third time when I open the third

Props to joemcgrath27 for sharing this tasty brew with me.
A - Pours a murky ruby colour, thin layer of head which quickly dissipates and leaves no real lacing.
S - Musty funk, wooden oak, sour cherries.
T - Sour cherries with subtle undertones of oak. Reminiscent of a sour cherry blaster candy but the sweetness is subdued and complemented by some earthy funk. ABV is barely noticeable with the exception of a bit of heat that lingers in your chest.
M - Medium bodied, smooth and a touch of dryness.
O - Incredibly flavourful with a high voltage ABV that goes completely undetected. A true privilege to have had the chance to enjoy it, and an even more stoked to share it with my BA bro in crime.

From a 650mL bomber. This is the 2012 run of Dissident, drank July 24, written from my notes.
Nose: As soon as the seal was broken the scent of sour cherries hit my nostrils. Very tart, sharp aroma. It's a familiar smell from other sour cherry ales, but Dissident is stronger, sharper than anything else I've had. Lots of cherry here, but not overly sweet - the funkiness is very much there. Some oak, vinegar as well.
Taste: Wow, reminds me of Driftwood's Belle Royale but on steroids. That great cherry sourness hits pretty solidly right away, moderately sweet. Very dry finish and it has a sharpness that I'd liken to extra old cheddar - this last trait is what's unique about Dissident for me. It actually wasn't until I had drank about 200mL that I noticed the ABV - I had assumed it was similar to other sour cherry ales I've had but it was significantly higher at 11.4%. This surely has a lot to do with that sharpness I found.
Overall: Really good if not a little overly acidic for me. I find it so powerful that it has to be a special occasion beer - it lacks the accessibility of some of the less potent sour cherry ales, but accessible is not something it's going for.

Poured into a Saint Somewhere wine-style glass. Label says Best After 8/20/13
A- Pours a semi-murky reddish light brown color with a 1/8 inch light tan head that's short-lived and soon dissipates to a thin ring around the edge of the glass and minimal surface foam. Non-resilient lacing leaves a thin ring behind on the glass.
S- Aroma is bursting with lactic acid bringing notes of tart cherry, sour apple and wine-like alcohol fumes.
T- The oak comes through wonderfully in this beer as it meshes with the fruit and tartness to create a balanced and drinkable combination. Not incredibly sour and the alcohol is masterfully hidden. I almost wish there was just a tad more flavor but this pretty much hits the spot. Semi-astringent oak aftertaste.
M- Slight pucker but quite quenching. Low carbonation and a medium body.
O- This is one knockout of a sour but it's so subtle in its execution. A slow sipper but every one is a delight.

A: beautiful blood red in color, huge carbonation… creating a solid fingers worth of khaki colored head formation that dissipates quickly, but leaves a slight film.
S: huge cherry sourness right up front assaulting the nostrils. Picking up on a enormous raspberry character as well. Big vinous characters, huge French oak barrels are amazing as well… some slight touches of barnyard funk, hay and even a slight tinge of manure.
T: wow… not really what the smell had to offer. I was expecting more acidity and fruit forward beer due to the aromas, but this is not what getting. I pick up on huge French oakiness that dominates the palate. An enormous amount of sugary syrup. Cherries are definitely evident but they fall way behind the big oak. There is a big dryness here, with characters of hay and barnyard funk but the balance is off.
M: heavy side of a medium bodied brew (not quite full bodied for the style). The finish is an immense sugary sweet maple with an enormous dry oaky wine finish.
O: awesome appearance and awesome aroma. But it immensely lacks in balance, taste and mouthfeel. Very happy to split this bottle with one other person.

Reviewed as part of Blind BIF round 8
A: Pours a murky, cloudy copper color. Very thin off-white head, holding only onto the edge of the glass.
S: An interesting sweet aroma with the subtlest underlying tart bite. A little cherry perhaps. A touch of honey possibly too.
T: Lightly acidic, but more sweet than anything. Cherries definitely on my mind, but I could be way off. I don't even think I know what style this is. It looks like a Barleywine, but it doesn't taste like one.
M: Medium bodied, somewhat creamy, with just the perfect amount of carbonation. Absolutely no alcohol detectable, which is impressive at 11.4.
O: This is a pretty tasty brew, and getting better as it warms. Sweet, but not overdone. Much lighter tasting than the alcohol would lead you to believe. Since I'm completely dumfounded here, I'll guess its so sort of American Barleywine, but I don't feel confident about it.

In the interest of full disclosure, I was pretty bombed when I cracked this bomber...solo.
I'm not a huge sour-style fan but I grabbed two of these upon release and tossed them away...until last night.
Smelled like bottled Cherry Clan's...if you remember what those are.
Poured a nice golden hue into a tulip glass...minimal head.
Each sip got better and better...but it could also be my buzz that got better and better (its 11+%) and was super enjoyable.
As I said, I'm not big into this style but if this was the benchmark, I'd be into it all day.
A very enjoyable beer, even if its a month before its "best after" date.

2012 vintage. Tulip glass.
A: Pours a dark, clear copper-like color with a half finger of foamy, light tan head which fizzles out pretty quickly to a ring. So-so retention and no lacing.
S: Bright cherries meld nicely with lactic sourness, fruity Jolly Ranchers, a little acetic acid, and mild toasted oak.
T: Oak and chocolate, a little vanilla, and cherry Jolly Rancher way underneath, with a short/abrupt finish. Vague tartness and off dry and tannic on the finish. Kind of a mess: it's a shame that the fruit is hidden under all the barrel flavor.

The beer pours a cloudy, syrupy looking auburn with no head or carbonation. The nose is a tad tart, sweet with notes of raisin and candi sugar, masked booze, and no bitterness. The taste is definitely modestly tart, sweet, a touch of cherry and raisin in the finish, no bitterness. The mouthfeel is sweet upfront, slightly tart, no bitterness, and only very slightly dry finish. This beer is excellent and almost like a rodenbach on steroids...

22oz bottle poured into tulip - 2010 bottle
Pours a hazed dark cherry color with some brownish tones. Crop of beige head bubbles up, fading into a collar of film with some spotty lacing.
Scents of lactic sourness with dark cherry, red wine and warming oak. Smooth alcohol warmth, funky yeast and currants.
Nice bite of sour right up front (you can feel it in your gums), featuring black cherry, overripe red grape and a touch of raisin. Dark malted tartness continues with oak, red wine, leather and soft dark fruit sweetness. Finishes warm and sour with lingering yeasty notes.
Medium body, decent carbonation, bubbly and dry on the tongue. A top tier Flanders Oud Bruin with a decent balance between the higher abv and fairly aggressive dark sourness.

This poured out as a brownish red color with a white head on top. The soapy looking head fades and leaves a ring of foam around the edge. The smell of the beer is tart on the nose some really nice cherry aromas. The taste of the beer is tart and sour. There is some sweetness in tere as well that is a little on the syrupy side. The mouthfeel of the beer is nicely carbonated with a medium body to it. Overall this beer is pretty good. I feel it could be a little more sour. It's still a pretty good brew.

Poured from the bottle at Smoke & Barrel for the DC bottle share. Bottle brought by ? From notes. Vintage 2012 I assume.
Good sample pour brings a falling tan soapy looking head, collapsing on to a faint orange bronze body, seems quite light for a bruin but otherwise fine.
Nose has a mild sense of acid with a nice good malt sweetness. Some nice citrus orange sensing fruit peeks out a bit mixing with a sense of sour orange. Very unique and different, quite pleasant actually.
Palate though just seems odd. A good moderate sense of tartness and bringing the fruit orange on the nose, but a very fizzy strange almost medicinal finish. Finish doesn't really compliment much of the light sweet malt and good balanced acid on the palate. Mouthfeel seems perfectly acceptable but a bit with higher than expected carbonation feel, but luckily doesn't detract from the palate.
There's some interesting things going on here, but first sip was a bit of a strange shock and quite odd. It does have some good qualities to it and a future visit might be in the cards, but by no means my favorite bruin at all. Strange aftertaste.

A rich Pfalz Kabinett at 12.5% abv and with a fair amount of residual sugar that retains enough acidity to stay fresh and pure. Aromas of mint, orange blossom, citrus and sweet spice lead to a polished, pure, mouthful of ripe fruit with a hint of clove-like sweentess. The lemony acidity and touch of slate on the back keep this balanced and gently mouthwatering.

June 14-September 7, 2003 - Turner: The Late Seascapes
Inspired by the Clark Art Institute's Rockets and Blue Lights, this exhibition explores the last decade of British artist J.M.W. Turner's lifelong fascination with the power of the sea. The 35 oil paintings and watercolors in this exhibition represent the summation of the life's work of an artist who has reached his full maturity and depict marine subjects ranging from whaling and slave ships to shipwrecks and historical figures. Guest curator James Hamilton, a noted Turner scholar, examines Turner's depiction of the sea as a stage for human action and reflection and explores the artist's debt to Dutch seascapes and his interest in scientific advances of his day. The exhibition has been organized by the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute and the Manchester City Galleries, Manchester, United Kingdom, and will also travel to the Glasgow Art Museum.
Through November 3, 2003 - Art in Nature: The Clark Art Institute Today and Tomorrow
Earlier this year, the Clark unveiled acclaimed architect Tadao Ando's designs for its building expansion and campus enhancement. Models, drawings, and plans for this design, as well as the plans by landscape architects Reed Hilderbrand Associates, are on view in this special installation. This extraordinary project enhances the Institute's setting, expands the facilities for its academic and public programs, and reconfigures its galleries to broaden the ways in which visitors experience works of art. Included in the installation is an overview of the Clark's history, growth, and mission presented through photos, videos, and artifacts that tell the story of this remarkable art museum and center for research and higher education.

Microsoft Agent allows websites and programs to display animated characters that speak and move around the screen. The Microsoft Office "Clippy" character, the animated paper clip, is an example of a Microsoft agent character.
Agents can be created through the web browser by loading and interacting with an ActiveX control. Once this control is loaded it will start the Agent Service process, and pass requests from the browser to the service. More information can be found at the following site.
Remote exploitation of a stack based buffer overflow vulnerability in Microsoft Corp's Microsoft Windows 2000 Agent service could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the logged in user.
The vulnerability exists within the Agent Service (agentsvr.exe). Due to improper handling of specially crafted URLs, an attack can cause stack based buffer overflow.
Exploitation of this vulnerability results in arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the logged in user. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would have to use social engineering techniques to convince a user to visit a malicious website. No further interaction is needed.
With default settings, Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express can not be used to directly exploit this vulnerability. By default, Outlook and Outlook Express both run in Restricted mode which prevents Active Content from being loaded. However, an attacker could send an e-mail with a link to a malicious website. By following this link a user is susceptible to exploitation through the browser.
iDefense has confirmed the existence of this vulnerability in the Agent service included in Windows 2000. Microsoft reports that newer versions of the Agent service are not vulnerable.
Setting the kill bit for the following CLSID will prevent the control from loading in the browser:
This will not fix the vulnerability, but it will prevent it from being exploited through the web browser.
Microsoft has addressed this vulnerability within MS07-051. For more information, consult their bulletin at the following URL.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned the name CVE-2007-3040 to this issue. This is a candidate for inclusion in the CVE list (http://cve.mitre.org/), which standardizes names for security problems.

Best Picture winner Argo. As far as acceptance speeches go, his was the perfect example of spontaneous joy.
Visibly sweating and speaking with lightning speed, Affleck took time to thank his wife, actress Jennifer Garner. "I want to thank my wife who I don't normally usually associate with Iran. I want to thank you for working on our marriage for 10 Christmases."
Affleck wins Oscar, humbles himself in speech
The camera panned to Garner, who was smiling but also looked a bit concerned. Realizing that he had acknowledged that their marriage was "work," Affleck quickly clarified his statement. "It's good. It is work but it's the best kind of work and there's no one I'd rather work with!"
Viewers immediately latched on to Affleck's bumbling categorization of his marriage.
Umm... Did Ben Affleck just call his marriage to Jennifer Garner work in front of a global audience? Awkward? #oscars— Time Out New York (@TimeOutNewYork) February 25, 2013
Others thought Affleck's honesty was romantic.

Affleck went on to thank everyone in Hollywood for working with him, referencing his first Oscar win as screenwriter for Good Will Hunting with Matt Damon. "I was here 15 years ago or something and I had no idea what I was doing . . . I went out and I never thought I would be back here. And I am, because of so many of you who are here tonight."
Since their wedding in 2005, Garner has taken time off her career to focus on her family. In an interview with Barbara Walters, Affleck said Garner "has given up a lot of opportunities in her career for our kids . . . I went and worked so much and I started directing, and that was taking two years, so she didn't feel oh well now I can take ten weeks and go do a movie. So she really spent her time with our children and you can see the benefits it pays. You know, not everyone is able to do that. Not everyone is that lucky."
Affleck and Garner have three children together. At the end of his acceptance speech last night, the emotion audible in his voice, Affleck finished by thanking them. "Violet, Sam, and Sera, this is for you."
