R.A. The Rugged Man – Dumb Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh wow, it's me, how you like me now?
Yeah I'm still on the scene, and you don't know how
Blah, blah, blah, blabber, bragger, bold ceremony master, chains snatcher, thug rapper
Frank Sinatra Ratpacker, not the Rawkus backpacker
I'm back at you like "don't they know I'm the wrong dude to fuck with?"
I'm the dude all the rappers had bad luck with
In fact fuck bad luck, they all hate my guts
Cause they sell more records, but I fuck more sluts
Now let's get off that topic, let's see who the most obnoxious is
Who rocks shit, who got it locked, shits stopping
I'm rap's all time infamous underdog
Are you still pissed that I fucked your board?
Are you still pissed that we fucked that whore?
Would you call the cops if I bust your jaw?
Suburban, I get diggey-dumb
The history of rap, white boy, name one better that's not warned
I get dumb
[Hook x2]
Dumb, du-du-dumb, du-dumb, dumb
Dumb, du-du-dumb, du-dumb, dumb
Dumb, du-du-dumb, du-dumb, dumb
Dumb, du-du-dumb, du-dumb, dumb
[Verse 2]
Oh yes yes, it's true, I'm back with more shit
Everytime I record shit
It's some get butt-naked fucking-your-whore-shit
Thought I lost it, cause I signed to a label and got kicked off it?
VH1 will never do my behind the scenes
Cause it's way too explicit for your TV screens
I'm like "Can we please talk about me a little more?"
And why I don't sell out and I stay hardcore
And why I never did a video for TVs
And never bought a beat for more than 3 G's
And never put an album out, not one year
I don't give a fuck about my career
Yeah, people talk about me like they know my ass
But where the fuck was you when I had no cash?
Oh wait, I forgot, I still don't got none
Hope my album gon' blow up, if I ever drop one
I'm allergic to worship, perfect
You can hurt quicker than Trevor Burbick hurted
Ice Cube, Daddy Kane, Hollywood burning
Bitch scream when the dick's inserted, remember where you heard it
I get dumb
[Hook x2]
[Verse 3]
Yes yes y'all, y'all know the Rugged Man is the best ya'll
Top 5 lyricist, no less ya'll
Funky fresh ya'll, I be the D-I-double B-S y'all
Wondering where handicapped Rugged Man be at?
They like "Ain't he fell off?"
"Oh no, he can't be back"
So you're like "Yeah right he did that? No, he didn't, did he?"
"You heard that Mr. Cee best of Biggie?"
"Yeah, that kid he's a real sicky"
B-U-B, R-U-G, we like Doug Fresh, Slick Ricky
Bon-stickity-bon-hon, gon' cock-riggedy-run
Ask Das, I get diggedy dumb
[Hook x2]

Community leaders met last month at the Cheney Family Boys & Girls Club to discuss services offered at the club and how to reach more families.
Information gathered will help direct efforts for the coming year.
Key areas for youth, 6-18, include age-appropriate programs in character and leadership, education and career, health and life skills, arts, sports, fitness and recreation, as well as technology.
"Enthusiasm is contagious when community leaders are brainstorming about advancement of our local kids," said Judy Hosea, the director for development of the Boys & Girls Clubs of South Puget Sound.
Natalie Kuzmick, the area director of the Boys & Girls Club, said the goal is to let children and parents know about the opportunities the club provides every day.
"It's so amazing to have community advocates that are just as passionate as we are to help our local youth," she said.
Carol Virak-Siler, who was the special project manager focused on building the Gig Harbor club, has given many tours of the facility.
"The Boys & Girls Club in Gig Harbor is an amazing organization that functions at the highest level in meeting the emotional and intellectual needs in a young person's life," she said. "While it is certainly a caring and nurturing place for kids in their after-school activities, the activities themselves help young people develop strong character, and the programs the kids participate in are exceptional."
Virak-Siler noted a range in programs, from computer technology to acting.
"Programs the HOPE Center in Gig Harbor has for young people are cutting-edge in technology and are programs that are not available elsewhere in our community," she said. "This organization is accepting kids in their after-school time and helping them excel because of the quality of activities available. What more could a parent ask for, especially those parents who are working?"
Gig Harbor Mayor Jill Guernsey said those who attended the forum shared valuable ideas.
"I wish the club had been open when my sons were young," Guernsey said. "As a working parent who commuted from Gig Harbor to Tacoma, it would have been a lifesaver for our family."
Mark Starnes, president and CEO of the Boys & Girls Clubs of South Puget Sound, called members of the focus group a "Dream Team" of influential leaders.
"We are thrilled to have such an outstanding group of Gig Harbor community leaders help us tell our story," Starnes said.
The group included Dan Gregory, Brad Cheney, Jeff Brown, Jan Kampbell, Darren Zemanek, Hugh McMillan, Walt Smith, Jinnie Hanson and Mark Hoppen, as well as Hosea, Kuzmick, Virak-Siler, Guernsey and Starnes.
For more information, call Kuzmick at 253- 502-4670 or email firstname.lastname@example.com McMillan is a longtime freelance writer for The Peninsula Gateway. He can be reached at 253-884-3319 or by email at hmcmnp1000@ centurytel.net.

Best of Total Beauty: All Our Best Beauty Product Stories in One Place
Hi, just throwing this out there. I work at a small medical office of 10 employees. Our "new" girl (she's been with us about 1 year) took an extra 1.5 hours on her lunch "to run a few errands". When she came back to work, her hair had went from brown to blonde and was a couple of inches shorter. (Weird, right?) When someone questioned her about it, she said during the day was the only time she had to have her hair done because she is so busy after work and on weekends. So, the question is- Is it ok to take time off work to have beauty procedures done during the work day?
I don't think it's okay to add extra time(especially not THAT much extra) to your lunch to run a personal errand. Especially if she didn't get permission first.
Hmmmm. Sounds a little off to me. Does she have a second job nights/weekends?????
If not, I think that's going a bit far. I know I couldn't get away with it at my job--'m a legal
consultant. When I have taken some time off during the week--I have to catch up by going in
for a few hours on Saturdays. How does your co-worker make-up for time lost?
Kendall Malloy
Chicago, IL
It definitely seem unprofessional on her part to do that during a lunch break especially since she's only been with the company for such a short period of time.
i think the best thing is to confirm with the boss if such a "long-break" is acceptable for the job. I'm not sure what the best way to handle it would be, since I'm not familiar with the environment that you work in. I think it's okay to take time off during the work day if you are allowed to, if not, then no.
Like if she's still getting paid for that extra long break, then that's just ridiculous. Otherwise, it's her time to waste, she can spend it however she likes.
That's really rude to take off like that! It is her problem, not that of the employer that she can't find the time on a weekend! I'd give her a verbal warning. If she gets away with it once (especially being new) she will keep it up!
very unprofessional and selfish-this probably created extra duties for her co-workers and definetely says little of her work ethic.

Francisco Rodriguez has 45 saves on August 8th. If injuries and his team don't falter much, he's breaking the all-time saves record in a year when one of the greatest relief pitchers ever, Goose Gossage, went to the Hall Of Fame. The game has changed very much since back then. Closers only go 1 innings most of the time yet at the same time matter more than they ever used to. Because of the lack of dominant starting pitching and better offense, closing the door has become tougher and more rare to find than ever. Which is why K-Rod's rate right now is remarkable and the fact that if he continues this over some more years, he's obliterating the all-time saves record held by the overrated Trevor Hoffman (I'll explain later). And even though he's only pitching for 1 inning most of the time, he still does his job the way the Angels were hoping and then some.
After the season though, chances are it's goodbye K-Rod. After this monster year, he'll bolt to the free agent market and demand the biggest contract ever by a reliever. And he'll AT LEAST get that. The Angels won't re-sign him seeing as K-Rod has already declined their latest offer and the Angels appear to be grooming a replacement in Jose Arredondo (4-0, 1.03 ERA in 35 innings this year). You can take the big 3 payrolls out of it (Yankees, Red Sox, and Mets) seeing as either they already have a closer or wouldn't spend that money on a guy who may be overworked or have problems looming in his body already. His velocity has been a tad down this season and that incredibly violent, hurky-jerky motion he flings toward the batter's box has scared practically everyone since he was on the draft board. But he's also added a wicked change-up to his repertoire this year and is still very young. And if he gets another World Series ring? Forget it.
But what this does is it brings up an interesting subject: Do closers really mean that much and are they overrated? My answer is a simple, straightforward "No, the role of the closer is not overrated". Now, with that said if I was a team that could use a closer I still probably wouldn't get K-Rod. The reasons being that he will cost a ton of money and long term contracts with pitchers very rarely work out. Either they don't live up to expectations (A.J. Burnett) or they completely self-destruct in a array of homeruns and walks (Barry Zito). While none of those mentioned are relief pitchers, the risk is all the same. So I wouldn't do it unless you're a team that can afford him and can contend now (Dodgers, Cardinals- Dave Duncan would probably do an incredible job with K-Rod. Duncan is the biggest genius in baseball by far. That's another topic-, or maybe the Tigers). All 3 teams have had an incredible tough time closing out games.
With that said, closers are one of the most important aspects of any baseball team. It's not fair to compare them to a kicker in the NFL because quite frankly, the kicker has the easier job. It's another universe trying to go out on the mound in the 9th inning and getting 3 hitters out when all the pressure is on you. While closers don't pitch as much as they used to before the complete game starter evaporated and offenses weren't juiced up, the fact still remains that closers are becoming equally important. Look at the WS champs of the last 10 years and the guys they had locking the door in the 9th:
98', 99', and 00'- Yankees with Marino Rivera (117 saves, 2.20 ERA collectively during those 3 seasons)
01'- Diamondbacks with Byung-Hyun Kim (19 saves, 2.94 ERA)
02'- Angels with Troy Percival (40 saves, 1.92 ERA)
03'- Marlins with Brandon Looper (28 saves, 3.68 ERA)
04'- Red Sox with Keith Foulke (32 saves, 2.17 ERA)
05'- White Sox with Dustin Hermanson and in the playoffs Bobby Jenks (40 saves ,2.40 ERA collectively)
06'- Cardinals with Jason Isringhausen and Adam Wainwright in the playoffs (36 saves, 3.34 ERA collectively)
07'- Red Sox with Jonathan Papelbon (37 saves, 1.85 ERA)
08'- ???
There's always some exceptions to every rule and here it's no different (here it would be the Diamondbacks and Marlins, as both teams won more from great starting pitching and clutch hitting). And while both Bobby Jenks and Adam Wainwright were inexperienced and nothing special in the regular season, both were absolutely lights out in the postseason (2.25 ERA with 8 saves total as both won WS. Adam Wainwright didn't even have an ERA). The point is, you CAN NOT win in the long term consistently without not a good closer, but a GREAT closer. You just can't. If the Yankees never found Mo Rivera, they would have never won those 4 championships because there's no one like Rivera. Not only has he been able to keep his job forever, you have to remember he delivered in most big spots in his career under the constant pressure-cooker that is NY. Not many people have the arm and stomach to do that. You look at his postseason numbers and they are truly scary (34 saves, 0.77 ERA). He's an example of when you have a great closer, you can always win in big games. Now, once again there are exceptions. The reason why the closer position is still a near impossible shoe to fill is because many guys can close in the regular season but melt under the pressure of October baseball. I'll bring up two names for example: Armando Benitez and Trevor Hoffman. Both are somewhat different situations with the same results. Benitez was the kind of pitcher that always had tons of potential. At times, he was shutdown nasty (see his 1999 and 2000 years). But, while he racked up saves and strikeouts, he would always implode in the big spot. He just didn't have the nerves. He was always a tease and that hurt the Mets deeply when they lost in 5 to the Yankees in 2000. Hoffman is a different story. Trevor Hoffman holds the record for the most saves ever with 548 which is quite an accomplishment. Because of that and the fact he's been able to stay in the league for so long, he deserves to go to the Hall Of Fame. But Hoffman is an extremely overrated closer because in the big spot, he's not good. The 1998 series, the All-Star game a few years back, the one game playoff between his Padres and the Rockies last year, you can name multiple occasions where he's done terrible for a closer of his caliber. It shows that even when you get a closer who can rack up save after save in the off-season, you're still nowhere close to home.
That is why having a great closer means so much. When you have a great closer, the game shortens for you and not only does your team have supreme confidence that the game is over when he jogs toward the mound but also the sense of dread in the other team. The other team realizes that they have little chance so they start trying to hard which causes an easier time for the closer. The dominant closers today (Mo, Papelbon, Nathan, Jenks, and K-Rod) all have that shut-down aura around them. While a legendary closer certainly doesn't need that, it sure does help. If you have great stuff with iron flesh, that will come packed in. If I had to rank today's closers on tiers, I'd go as follows:
Top Tier= Marino Rivera, Jonathan Papelbon, Joe Nathan, Bobby Jenks, Francisco Rodriguez
Second Tier= Billy Wagner, Joakim Soria, Troy Percival, Francisco Cordero
Third Tier= Trevor Hoffman, Brad Lidge , B.J. Ryan, J.J. Putz, Kerry Wood, Takashi Saito
Forth Tier= Brian Wilson, Salomon Torres, Matt Capps, Huston Street, Brain Fuentes
Bottom Tier= C.J. Wilson, Kevin Gregg, Eric Gagne, Todd Jones, Brandon Lyon, George Sherrill
I judged everyone on their careers, this season, and their playoff experience if they have any. Take a look at the top tier. The teams that are represented there are the Yankees, Red Sox, Twins, White Sox, and Angels ( just realized they're all in the AL...wow). All those teams are over .500, two division leaders, one wild card leader, and they all share a combined record of 326-245 this year. While that isn't all the closers credit, they play a gigantic part.
The closer has become just as important as the front-line starter and the impact hitter. All 3 are vital parts to a team and need to be had 99.9% of the time to win big year after year. The only way to close the door in a season the right way is to win a championship. And a great closer does that better than anyone.

Basements can be the hardest part of a house to decorate. They tend to be dark, gloomy and sometimes damp. Too often they become dumping ground for old furniture and other things you don't want seen on the upper floors. But with the right light, colors and attention to detail a basement can become just as beautiful as any other room in the house. Whether it functions as a rec room, an office, a bedroom or an entire apartment, make sure you put the appropriate thought into your basement and make it a space people will actually want to spend time in! Here are some tips on how to decorate a basement.

Tried this today and loved it. I love IPA's, this is not as bitter, great for non-IPA enjoyers. Not as filling as other dark ales, very enjoyable. I see bad reviews, but this beer got me to sign up here and offer a few good words. I enjoy Shock Top, this is a surprising departure.

Half finger head with some lacing on a murky/muddy brown body. Chocolate malt, earthy hops and breads. Flavor is similar with a chocolate malt base, pepper, earthy good and a slight metallic finish. Medium body and moderate to high carbonation. As expected a bit watery, under malted but decent flavor for the brewer.

Poured from the bottle into a pint glass, End of the World is very lightly colored for a beer that advertises "midnight wheat and chocolate malt", it's amber-brown at best. The head is thin and non-active. Rather than a nice semi-liquid yeast at the bottom of a wheat beer that you can gently swirl in, this beer has large chunky particulate that takes forever but eventually settles to the bottom of the glass - not very appealing. The nose is unremarkable for a chili and spiced beer, wheat and weak chocolate malt notes is all I'm getting. The taste is a little more interesting with some spicy notes and chili flavors coming through; seems overly bitter as a side effect from the spices. Mouthfeel is thin and carbonation is minimal, chunky bits lose points. Overall a miss by AB on this one in my opinion.

12 oz. bottle, with no apparent bottled on date present. The bottleneck has a code 12 307 DD22 printed on it, so perhaps that means something. My guess is that this beer is from sometime in 2012, so not exactly the freshest pickings available, although considering it is an Anheuser-Busch product, I'm not expecting much anyway.
Poured into a clear balloon snifter glass, for the sake of knowledge.
A - Aggressive pour straight down the center yields about one finger of doughy fluffy off-white head on top of a bloody ruby colored body. In this beer's defense, it doesn't look nearly as bad as it actually is.
S - Smell is of stale dusty caramel malts, with perhaps some "midnight wheat", some unidentifiable spices, and perhaps the faintest hint of what is supposed to be chile spice. Pretty nonexistent, though.
T - I can actually taste what I think is the chocolate malts with some sublte cocoa presence, the faintest bit of chile spice, and some wheat grains, so I guess this beer does actually deliver what the label suggests, although very little of it. Still, the subtle chocolate presence is a surprise to me, since I was unable to detect any of it the last few bottles of this that I drank. Finishes with just a slight bit of peppery chile heat.
M - Feel is thin, watery, sugary, sticky, with some mild heat from the chile spice.
Overall, this is about what I expected it to be, considering the source. Probably a bit old at this point, although I think it hardly matters much in this case. Definitely not a complex or interesting brew at all; probably only good for those easing their way into more flavorful beers. The only reason I bought it was because the guys at the beer store gave it to me for $6.99.

I was pleasantly surprised by the Shock Top offering of "end of the world midnight wheat". I picked up a twelve pack for 11.99 and I consider the money well spent. Do not be turned off by the chili flavoring as it is not too pronounced and actually adds something to this brew. If you can get any of the Shock Top offerings at a decent price, they should be considered.

A - Pours with one finger of white foam on top of a hazy, dark amber brown body. The head settles fairly quickly and leaves little lace.
S - Toasted malt and a touch of toffee with little else.

M - Medium body, moderately high carbonation, and a balanced finish.
D - Not bad, it isn't as interesting as it sounds on the label, but considering the source I didn't expect all that much.

Look – The beer by and large looks good, however, there is one glaring issue and that is sediment. You can probably see some floating in suspension in the photo. I know there are ways to pour a beer to keep the sediment in the bottle and out of the glass, but I don't mind a bit of sediment in my beer. The instructions on the bottle itself advocate the "pour most, swirl, then pour rest" method which would introduce sediment so I feel justified to comment on it. Again, I don't mind a bit of sediment, but this is too much, it's especially too much when I know it's being produced at an Anheuser-Busch facility, which has brewing down a science and thus I can only assume this much sediment is intentional rather than accidental. Other than that it's a nice copper hue with a snowy white head that never gets past maybe ½ a finger and dissipates quickly thereafter. No real tracing on the glass to speak of.
Smell – The smell is very mild, far milder than I expect from this style. If I really breathe deep I can get a bit of banana and some spicy notes, but not much else.
Taste – I'm looking at the last few sips of this and still don't have much to say. It tastes like a standard, if a bit lacking, wheat beer with maybe a bit of cinnamon (which might be the spice the bottle is promoting). I will readily admit that I don't think I have the palate to notice any of the tastes specific to midnight wheat nor chocolate malt, but unless those are milder version that a typical hefeweizen I don't feel like they're contributing a whole lot. None of the flavors are off or bad, they're just not really there in the first place.
Feel – Crisper and drier than I'd have thought. I guess the I keep trying to compare this beer to a dunkelweizen, but it just isn't. It's more like a spiced wheat beer, but even still I tend to expect something a bit creamier and smoother than crisp like this. Not a knock against it, but not really a positive either, it just is.
Drinkability – Unexpectedly drinkable for how dark a beer is it. Goes down very easy, and at a respectable, but not ridiculous, ABV of 6.0% you could kick back a few of these on a chilly day and feel alright about it.

Pours a scarlet tinged amber with a pinky of tan head. Soome lacing & head retention
S: Faint pear & brown sugar notes
T: Follows the nose, some apricot too up front, faint chille & mocha notes. Slight fig & cocoa notes, plus dryness & slight grainyness, slight pear notes as this warms & a touch of
chille again. Finshes dry, slightly spicy/fruity
MF: Thin with subtle carbonation, alright balance
Not a bad try, but not one I'd buy a sixer of either. Better than most of the Shock Top portfolio

Shock Top "End Of The World Midnight Wheat"
12 oz. bottle, dated "12279DG53"
With a name like "End Of The World Midnight Wheat" you've got to try it, right? And the graphics are pretty good too. This was made as a kind of joke on the predicted end of the world as accorded to the last date of the Mayan Calendar (12.21.12) - which didn't happen ;p
So, first off, "midnight wheat" is a proprietary brand name for a dark wheat malt from Briess Malting in Chilton, Wisconsin. It's part of their "Maltster's Reserve Series" (which is an interesting way to sell malt in today's market), and it delivers a very dark malt at 550 Lovibond (chocolate malt is in the 350-550 range, and roasted barley is generally 450-700) without the bitterness and dark malt acidity that's usually expected.
The beer pours a clear russet-brown body with ruby and orange highlights before you add the yeast swirl. It then becomes hazy and the highlights are lost. The head is a dolloped pillow of off-white that rises up majestically at first, and then settles into a fairly dense finger-thick cap. The head holds well, and it leaves some very nice lacing as it goes.
The aroma is not nearly as bold as the name might suggest. In the nose you'll find some apple-like fruitiness, lightly sweetish wheaty and caramelish malt, a suggestion of spice and cocoa, and a hint of roastiness that's not unlike cold and damp spent coffee grounds.
The flavor is fuller than the aroma suggests, but it still doesn't live up to the anticipation suggested by the label: "ALE BREWED WITH MIDNIGHT WHEAT, CHOCOLATE MALT, CHILI AND SPICE" - however, that shouldn't really come into play if we're just looking at the beer for what it is. The wheat malt is clearly present, as is the chocolate malt, although both are restrained - there's malt to it, but it's not really malty, and it's just lightly sweet with a flicker of brown sugar and toffee. With that said, there's not much room to really do anything with the chili and the spice as they can only get to a minor level before they would start to overwhelm. You will find the chili though, probably at the back of your throat, and you'll know that the spices are there too (what exactly they are isn't clear). This could have been something big, bold, and bombastic but it's been done as a really refined and fairly easy to drink beer that ends up losing all of the points it's earned for complexity to its basic drab-ness. Beyond that, it is 6.0% by volume which gives it a little something, but it never really satisfies in terms of maltiness.
Overall, it's not a bad beer by any means, it just doesn't really stand out from the crowd.

Poured from a bottle into a nonic pint.
A - A murky kind-of-shit-brown with a wispy pinkie finger off-white head. LARGE amount of sediment floating around in my glass. Looks like a snow globe. I mean, I know some sediment is to be expected, but come on. Scary. Zero lacing.
S - Is there a such thing as stale chocolate? What about stale chilies? Somehow that's what this beer smells like; a faint odor of better smells gone bad.
T - Thankfully, it tastes marginally better than it looks or smells. Dark pumpernickel graininess forward, followed by very subdued chocolate (akin to the black cookie part of an Oreo), and mild chili (think chili powder that you would make chili con carne with) A hint of fruity orange in the finish. Not terrible, but not rich or exciting either.
M - Light bodied. Aggressive carbonation. Slightly syrupy finish.
O - A dialed-down version of a style done much better elsewhere. That said - if somehow BMC drinkers switched to this because of the AB label, it would be a huge step up. Definitely not a repeat buy for this BA, however.

look: 3 | smell: 2 | taste: 2.25 | feel: 2.5 | overall: 2.25
- Ale brewed with midnight wheat, chocolate malt, chili and spice. Bot. code 12 321 (Mar 21,2012)?
A: Dark cranberry, dense with little light emittence, a strong show of carbonation fills the vessel. The head is tan with a frump, cottage cheese like texture showing an average rate of retention. A thick spongy band encompasses the glass for lacing.
S: Aroma of sour fruit, cranberry, and tart black berries. The chocolate malt and chili spicing seems to be absent or very well restrained not adding much. Pretty much a staple and dictionary term for unimpressive.
T: The flavor is stale, flat chocolate, with some sour fruitiness, cherries and berries. The chili is there but again as with the nose, very insignificant not adding much to the overall effect. Dry wheat, powdery taste of chili is faint on the tongue, the spices mute and mostly indistinguishable. A dash of sour orange is detected.
M: Small tingle of carbonation, slightly creamy, light-medium body with a small chili powdery coating on the tongue.
O: Overall the beer is not so much bad taste wise as it is underwhelming and monotone coming off rather bland and lifeless, safe and conservative, with a mute and underutilized spicing that seemed like they were hesitant to pull off in the first place. Drinking factor is flat-line for me, could care less.

Acquired as part of a cheap sixer at my local Von's grocery store (aka Safeway/Pavilions). Expections are very low given the brewery. Reviewed live. 6.00% ABV confirmed. 12 fl oz brown glass bottle with branded twist-off pressure cap and cool label served into a conical Samuel Smith's pint glass in me gaff in low altitude Los Feliz, Los Angeles, California. Reviewed live.
Served straight from the fridge. Side-poured with extra vigor as carbonation issues are anticipated.
A: Pours a four finger head (maybe I gave it too much vigor) of beige-khaki colour, nice cream, decent froth, decent thickness, and good (~5 minute) retention for the average ABV. Body colour is a nontransparent translucent hazy copper. No yeast particles are visible. No bubble show. Meh. Nothing unique or special here.
Sm: Pumpkin, clove, nutmeg, and maybe cinnamon. I can only report what I detect. I honestly don't get wheat, chocolate malt, or chili pepper. A mild strength aroma. Not a bad one either. I don't detect yeast or alcohol. If you gave this to me blind, I'd have no idea it was a Budweiser product. It's not a bad aroma by any means. I'm looking forward to trying it.
T: Wheat, clove, spice (nutmeg), light pumpkin (I'm as shocked as you may be), generic malts, and light chocolate malt - which comes through in the third act. Surprisingly well balanced. I don't get any yeast, chili pepper, or "midnight wheat" (whatever the hell that is), but it's fairly tasty. Little complexity and/or subtlety. But a pleasant brew all around.
Mf: Smooth and wet. Pretty good carbonation. Good palate presence. Suits the flavour profile fairly well. I think the mouthfeel is well executed. Maybe a touch too thin, but chewy and enjoyable.
Dr: A drinkable beer all around that I think gets savaged because of the brewery. In a blind taste test, I could see this beating many microbrew craft offerings. Honestly, it's not at all a bad brew and I'd choose it over many Widmer, Pyramid, or Red Hook offerings if I was out at a pub. Worth trying and well priced. Hides its modest ABV as well as you'd expect.

Hazy brown in color with a tight tan head that leaves splotchiness and a ring inside rim of glass. Smells are bready with a hint of banana. Tastes is a bit bland and dry. Not really sweet but not really bitter either. I can't really pick up the chili that's advertised. There is a hint of spice towards the finish. And a touch of cocoa but I do mean a touch. Not bad but pretty average.

Served in a weizen glass
A - It is cloudy. The body is a dirty amber color with burnt orange highlights. It is topped of with an inch of tan head.
S - The peppers are apparent on the initial smell. The chocolate comes through as it warms. I also get that "wheat" beer aroma.
T - Now the taste seems to have more of the chocolate. The peppers come through more in the aftertaste and build with each drink.
M - Moderate
O - I waited about two months too long to drink this beer. I found it at the local grocery store and thought the chocolate malt and peppers were an interesting combination. They were albeit, not real strong in flavor. This may have been better fresh, but it an A-B product, so I doubt it ever had a lot of flavor. Overall, it is the best Shock Top I have had.

It lives up to the name "End of the World Midnight Wheat". If you are a shocktop fan, you are expecting a citrus based beverage full of body and flavor. This reminds me more a light IPA. I bought it for its name, and probably won't buy it again. It was fun to try.
A little citrus, but very bitter, almost like they used grapefruit? Vary bold flavor that left a bitter aftertaste. Very full bodied and heavy to drink.

A- Pours a middle brown color with lots of haze. Fairly large, 3 finger head that retains and laces pretty well.
S- Starts with a little bit of wheat flavor and moves quickly into the chocolate and spice flavors. Chocolate is present but not very dominant. Spices however are more powerful with detectable nutmeg and cinnamon-like scents.
T- Starts with a spicy flavor profile. Spiciness has a hint of pepper, but mostly the nutmeg and cinnamon. Lots of chocolate malt in the middle. Slight wheat flavor presides throughout. Chocolate and spicy notes linger in the aftertaste.
M- Thick and chewy as far as wheats go. Lots of carbonation and medium weight on the palate. Spice profile could make drinking more than one or two tough.
Overall, a very interesting beer. Chocolate and spice in this one are a good introduction to spices in beer. Interesting and drinkable, too bad this is a one time seasonal, it's a good change of pace.

Pours a hazy, copper color. 6/4 inch head of an off-white color. Great retention and great lacing. Smells of sweet malt, pale malt, hint of hop, hint of spices (coriander?), hint of wheat, and slight adjunct. Mouth feel is sharp and crisp, with an average carbonation level. There is also a noticeable metallic flavor. Fits the style of an herbed / spiced beer better than it fits into the American Pale Wheat style. Tastes of a pale malt, slight sweet malt, hint of wheat, hint of spices, slight metallic of adjunct, and a hint of roasted malt. Overall, weak body that is dominated by metallic flavors.

Picked up a single of this brew at my local establishment, Civera's Deli. Let's see about this. I've heard slightly positive reviews about this one. Let's see if Anheuser can surprise me.
Appearance: Pours a cloudy, dark, brown with an almost amber-like hue. Head is about an inch high, and sticks around appropriately, like a common, good beer should.
Smell: Has a nice aroma of citrus. Also noted in this is a slight hint of chocolate, but not as apparent as the appearance is. I also noticed some hints of light spices. Not too bad, but nothing that "wows" me. I guess better luck next time.
Taste: Somewhat light, a nice hint of citrus. As I got to the bottom, there was a nice taste of dark malts. The chocolate was only minor. So far, no appearance of chili or other spices as mentioned on the bottle. Nice try Anheuser, but looks like you dropped the ball on that. Just reminds me of a maltier Shock Top with a slight hint of chocolate.
Mouthfeel: Has a moderate carbonation.
Overall: To be quite frank, I wasn't expecting much out of this beer. But i guess I set my hopes a little too high to begin with when I read on the bottle the ingoing spices and all. Maybe my palate is a little off, but I didn't once taste chili. Overall, this isn't a TERRIBLE beer, but definitely just reminded me of a hybrid Shock Top. I probably won't have this beer again, mainly because it's a limited release. I guess the big breweries tried on this one, and it didn't go exactly as planned. Just took a popular, trending topic and made a beer out of it in an attempt to boost sales. I'll look elsewhere next time if they release a "Return of Jesus" beer. Cheers!

Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a promo glass acquired with the beer. Pours a dark red with a nice off white head. Smells of wheat and dark malt.

This pours a light brown color with a foamy beige head. There is a slight scent of chocolate and chili spice mixed with wheat. This is a complex, darker wheat flavor with elements of chocolate and spice as it promises. Surprisingly decent for being an AB-InBev competition product to Blue Moon's line.

Shock Top seasonal wheat beer wasn't what I expected, wasn't as good as some of their other offerings, but it still hit the spot.
The beer poured out as a beautiful dark-honey color, very nice to my eyes. The head was thick, had staying power and with good lacing. I smelled strong scents of barley and malt with a distant hint of spice. It tasted very potent, not the sort of beer to guzzle, but to spin and take in slowly. The mouthfeel helped out with that since it rolled around my tongue thick and rich. What disappointed me was that I could only pull out the barley and malt flavors - none of the spice I smelled or cinnamon the bottle claimed.
Overall, a good beer but nothing overly spectacular.

Fun concept but this whole Shock Top brand is simply reactionary to what smaller brewers have already done. Just feels like every release they are pulling their punch. Sort of a muddled mess, one and done.

I really wish this was more than a sessional brew, I spun my first one in late november, expecting something less than good. Thankfully I was wrong, the mild spiced flavor was a celebration in my mouth with a hint of chocolate that I could barely taste, seemingly a teaser for one to explore. The semi dark color hinted to a heavier feel, which I did not find in this generally whimsical lubricating experience.

OLTL has just fallen off the rails with all of the new ppl. It's just too much. Hey, they fired the gays, whom will they blame next for the ratings??ReplyDelete
I have to say that AMC has been interesting.
I actually think the opposite. I love the Ford boys and Nate. I don't care about Star though well I kind of like her with James. I hate Cole, Jessica and Natalie, Rex and Gigi but I put up with them. I actually watch it more than GH and Days two of my favs. I'm sorta watching AMC but if I even get an inkling their putting Rylee back together then I'm out.ReplyDelete
Just like to add that, Univision's telenovela, Soy Tu Duena, which premiered in June, averaged a 2.7 HH number for the week and 5.39 million viewers. Some nights it won the 18-49 and 18-34 demos among broadcast networks.ReplyDelete
Thanks, FoxCrane. I try to add Univision in when I can find the details. It's a fast-expanding audience.ReplyDelete

This section of our website aims to give you an overview of epilepsy and its treatment. We also have a broad range of information leaflets, which you can access here.
We have teamed up with HealthUnlocked to provide a safe and secure forum for you to share your experiences of epilepsy with others. To join just click on the icon below:
Epilepsy is a common condition that affects approximately one in 103 people. It is usually diagnosed in childhood and in people over the age of 65, but it can affect any one.
The only visible symptom of epilepsy is recurrent seizures, and these are caused by too much electrical activity in groups of neurons in the brain. The behaviour that a person displays during a seizure depends upon the area of their brain that is affected. Click here for some background information about how seizures arise.
There are three main types of seizure: primary generalised, focal and secondary generalised. Primary generalised seizures involve the entire brain, whilst focal seizures affect a specific region. Secondary generalised seizures begin in one part of the brain and then spread throughout the whole of it. You can read about the different types of generalised and focal seizure in our information leaflet entitled 'What is epilepsy?'.
Epilepsy Research UK is currently funding research to find out exactly what happens to the brain before and during a seizure. For example:
- Professor John Jefferys, at the University of Birmingham, is studying a certain type of brain wave and its role in seizure generation. You can learn more here.
- Dr Ivan Pavlov, at University College London, is investigating the role of a neurotransmitter known as gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in initiating seizures. You can read more here.
This is just one project from our research portfolio, which includes studies into many different aspects of epilepsy. To view the full portfolio click here.


text: U.S. BSE Cases Potentially 'Atypical' Atypical cases may present little infective risk to humans. Published on: Jun 14, 2006 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print Three U.S. cows have thus far been found to have BSE. The first, a Holstein in Washington, was born in Canada. The other two were found in Texas and Alabama. And, according to a reports, USDA chief veterinarian John Clifford was reported to say that these later two cows appear to have had an atypical strain of BSE, not related to the common form found in Canada and the England.These so-called atypical cases match results in seven cases discovered in France, says Jean-Philippe Deslys, project coordinator for NeuroPrion, the European Network of Excellence, but are dissimilar to three other French cases as well as a handful of cases discovered in Italy, Germany and other nations. The U.S. cases are so-called "high-weight" on a molecular basis, while the other atypical cases are "low-weight." (Results of ongoing experiments on this topic are due to be presented at Prion2006 in Turin, Italy in October.)Deslys says it could mean one of three things: that the "classic" BSE infection has mutated, much like a virus; that these cases are linked to scrapie in sheep or are truly spontaneous like most CJD (Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease) cases in humans and present little or no infective risk; or most ominously, that a new pattern of infectivity has emerged and may not be identified for years.Ed Curlott, a spokesman for USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, agrees that the major issue is the source of infectivity. "We have no data on transmission at all," he says. "Right now, we are just following the science." That may take several years, says Deslys, one of the world's top researchers in prion diseases. In the meantime, he recommends, steps should be taken to increase testing of animals sent to slaughter, and feed bans and other means of controlling amplification of the disease should be maintained or strengthened. "Risk assessment of this development is going to take at least a few years," he says. He notes that, to date, all atypical cases have been found in relatively older cattle, most more than six years of age.--Michael J. Baker is a Beef Cattle Extension Specialist for Cornell University, Ithaca, NY.

I also prefer the original ambush to the new scent. I won't purchase again, until they go back to the original scent. Why mess with perfection.

Written by KCinSoCal
The new Ambush is a heavy melon scent, nothing like the original spicy scent that so many people love. Someone told me that Dana's men's scent Canoe is the old Ambush scent so I tried it. They were right, sort of. Canoe IS the original Ambush scent, but with a little more 'pepper' notes. I'm using it as a replacement Ambush scent until they bring back the original Ambush. I'd be curious to hear from others who have tried Dana Canoe as a substitute.

Prieto's great cinematography in ARGO has really captured the very essence of the 70's and the Middle East. It has given this marvelous film credence to what it is all about! With its top-notch ensemble, adaptation, editing and award caliber direction of Ben Affleck, it is, to me, the movie of the year which is being embraced by critics and audiences all over.

John Metcalfe on Tom Kersten's 'Utopia'
'Utopia' is the debut recording of Tom Kerstens with his newly formed G Plus Ensemble. The group was created specifically for the recording of newly commissioned writing.
It is no accident that the two composers featured on this recording, Joby Talbot and John Metcalfe, both come from a background that combines art rock and classical training.
John Metcalfe, from New Zealand, was, in an earlier incarnation, the viola player for Manchester-based sonic adventurers Durutti Column and came later in his career to composition. John plays viola with the Duke Quartet, and is the arranger for Peter Gabriel's new 'Scratch My Back' album. He was introduced to Peter at Real World whilst producing his compositions on 'Utopia'.
In the G Plus ensemble, the guitar's plucked sound decays quickly; this contrasts with the sustained string sound. Combined with the vibraphone and in the absence of an inevitably dominant piano, the G Plus ensemble sounds quite magical. John Metcalfe says there is no other ensemble like this and that it reverses the role of the guitar. A rock guitar offers a vertical way of playing; there are chords and the guitar usually determines the key and how a piece modulates. John has deployed the quartet in that vertical role for some of his G Plus pieces; he has used the guitar as a linear, horizontal instrument that does not just play chords but, instead, plays melodic lines. For John, this can make the guitar line much more fluid and interesting; the guitar can act as a more harmonic instrument - the role usually taken by the piano.

Ok Folks,
I need some info and quite possibly some help. I have a OTB 1.1.1 which I bought from the US in October and I JB'd it using jailbreakme.com and then anySIM 1.1 to unlock it so I could use it in Cyprus on the local Cytanet/Vodafone network.
After the unlock, I threw away the ATT sim card that came with it, and the phone was working fine in 1.1.1 with BB 04.01.13_G . Last week I decided to upgrade to 1.1.2 using octoprep and then foolishly to 1.1.3 using the official dev team release. The upgrade did not go very smooothly so I wanted to downgrdae back to 1.1.1 and start again. I did the proper downgrade in itunes and I am back to 1.1.1 but I noticed that my firmware is now 04.02.13_G. My question is
(1) can i jailbreak/activate a 1.1.1 with 04.02.13_G using jailbreakme.com and
(2) can I do it without using the original ATT sim card?
Please help!

Along with the thousands of viewers of the first episode of "Who Do You Think You Are?", I was intrigued by the story revealed to Sarah Jessica Parker of her 9th (?) great grandmother Esther Elwell, who was convicted as a witch during the witch hysteria in Salem, Essex, Massachusetts in 1692. Sarah J. Parker was relieved to know that her ancestor was not executed, however. As I watched her story unfold, I realized that Sarah and I have this in common: my 9th great grandmother, Mary Perkins (Mrs. Thomas) Bradbury (1614-1700) was also convicted, but not executed as a witch during the Salem trials in 1692.
This is my descendency from Mary Perkins Bradbury:
1. Thomas and Mary Perkins Bradbury to their son William (b. 1649)
2. William and Rebecca Wheelwright Bradbury to their son William (b. 1672)
3. William and Sarah Cotton Bradbury to their son John (b. 1699)
4. John and Hannah Greeley Bradbury to their son Rowland (b. 1725)
5. Rowland and Mary Stevens Bradbury to their daughter Molly (b. 1760)
6. John and Molly Bradbury Burbank to their daughter Mary Burbank (b. 1779)
7. Onesiphorus and Mary Burbank Flanders to their son Jesse (b. 1813)
8. Jesse and Elizabeth Phelps Flanders to their son Lewis (b. 1849)
9. Lewis and Sarah McMillan Flanders to their son Milo (b. 1883)
10. Milo and Nannie Becker Flanders to their daughter Ruby (b. 1924)
11. Ernest and Ruby Flanders Margheim to ME, Mary Rebecca Margheim Jamison (b. 1947)
The following brief article explains the events better than I can.
Mary Perkins Witch Trial Information
Source: "The Family of John Perkins of Ipswich, Massachusetts", by Geo. A. Perkins, M.D., Salem, 1882
"In 1692, Jacob Perkins's sister Mary Perkins Bradbury was placed on trial for witchcraft. At the time, she was living in Salisbury, Massachusetts. Richard Carr's father had been a suitor of Mary before she married Thomas Bradbury. This led to a fifteen year disagreement with Mary and he probably influenced his sons' and his son's friend in their testimony. Her reply to the indictment was as follows:
"I plead not guilty. I am wholly innocent of such wickedness through the goodness of God that hath kept me hitherto. I am the servant of Jesus Christ, and have given myself up to him as my only Lord and Saviour, and to the diligent attendance upon him in all his holy ordinances, in utter contempt and defiance of the Devil and all his works, as horrid and detestable; and have endeavored to frame my life and conversation in accordance with His holy word and in that faith and practice, resolve, by the help and assistance of God, to continue to my life's end. For the truth of what I have to say as to the matter of practice, I humbly refer myself to my brethren and neighbors that know me, and to the searcher of all hearts, for the truth and uprightness of my heart therein, human frailties & unavoidable infirmaties excepted, of which I bitterly complain every day."
All of the depositions against Mary were recorded in Seargent Thomas Putnam's handwriting except one. Richard Carr and Zarubabel Endicott testified that they had seen a blue boar come from and re-enter her yard and window. This was spectral evidence. Samuel Carr, Richard's brother also testified that he had seen Mary perched on the capstan of a ship at sea when things were going badly. William Carr testified that there was nothing he knew against Mary and referred to a broken love affair between the families.
Mr. and Mrs. Bradbury were prominent citizens and signatures of 118 of her friends and neighbors of a statement
"Concerning Mary Bradbury's life and conversation, we, the subscribers, do testify, that it was such as became the gospel: she was a lover of the ministry, in all appearance, and a diligent attender upon God' holy ordinances, being of a courteous and peaceable disposition and carriage. Neither did any of us (some of whom have lived in the town with her above fifty years) ever hear or ever know that she ever had any differences of falling-out with any of her neighbors, man, woman or child, but was always ready and willing to do for them what lay in her power night and day, though with hazard of her health or other danger. More might be spoken in her commendation, but this for the present."
This written testimony was not enough, as she was convicted anyway. By this time the Court of Oyer and Terminer had agreed not to execute any who plead guilty, but Mary had pleaded not guilty. She was convicted of witchcraft on 9 Sep 1692 and sentenced to be executed on 22 Sep 1692. Her husband and friends, including Jacob, broke her out of the Ipswich jail and she fled to Amesbury where she died two years later. The last convicted witch execution took place on 22 Sep 1692. In the following month, the neaid trip to Massachusetts so I can visit the Historw Governor Phipps was appointed and put an end to the Court of Oyer and Terminer that had been doing the sentencing. Any remaining convicted witches (those that had plead guilt) had their sentences commuted by the governor. This was the end of the trials.
On 17 Dec 1711, the governor and council authorized payment to twenty-three persons condemned at Salem. Mary's descendants received twenty pounds in compensation."
Now if I can just figure out how to get an all-expense-paid trip to the Massachusetts Historical Society and view all the original documentation regarding my great-grandmother's trial like Sarah Jessica Parker was privileged to do! But if anyone asks me "Who do you think you are?" after researching my family's history for the past decade, I can tell them, "I don't have to Think who I am, I KNOW who I am!"

Should professor be fired for boosting Obama?Wednesday, September 19th, 2012
A professor at Brevard Community College is on unpaid leave while the college investigates complaints that she asked students to support President Obama during classes.
Florida Today reports that a parent lodged the first complaint against Sharon Sweet, an assistant math professor.
That was followed, the paper says, by "dozens of emails and phone calls expressing concern."
The college says Professor Sweet, who has worked at the college for five years, asked to be put on leave. College officials are investigating the complaints and plan extensive interviews with Ms. Sweet's students.
A college spokesman told Florida Today: "We are a nonpartisan, public institution….It is very important that all of our faculty and staff act in that manner at work and while they're on campus."
What do you think? If the professor was campaigning for President Obama during class time, should she be fired? Take our poll and/or leave a comment.

Adjunct Associate Professor of Environmental Chemistry and Exposure Assessment
Department of Environmental Health
Department of Environmental Health
My research examines critical questions about the public health consequences of air pollution through inter-disciplinary, biologically-relevant exposure assessment research. Specifically, my research combines traditional measurement methods with novel exposure assessment methods to advance how we think about air pollutant sources, exposures and health effects. In this effort, my research has four fundamental focuses, first to identify and apportion important air pollutant sources, second to show how individual behaviors modify air pollutant concentrations and through this their health impacts, third to use new exposure measures and approaches to examine source-specific impacts on biological pathways and to identify susceptible populations, and finally to develop GIS-based spatial smoothing methods to predict air pollutant concentrations for locations or for times when few air pollution measurements are available. Through these foci, my research has helped establish causality in pollutant exposure-health associations, offering physical explanations for the observed heterogeneity in particle-mediated health risks and for the differences in susceptibility among individuals. Scientific knowledge of this type is essential to identify the sources of ambient air pollution most important to public health.
