American Indians are said to have introduced this warning centuries ago to early settlers, and nowadays the saying is applied to the months without an R, namely May through August. But it may be outdated.
Shellfish can be problematic in the summer for several reasons. The first has to do with red tides, vast blooms of algae that collect along coastlines, usually in warm weather. They can spread toxins that are soaked up by oysters, clams and mussels.
Studies have linked toxic outbreaks to this phenomenon, but only when people ate locally harvested shellfish. Most shellfish sold in restaurants, supermarkets and urban areas are commercially harvested, and as a result are subject to regulations intended to eliminate such hazards.
Another problem in the summer is that it is usually when shellfish spawn. As any oyster aficionado knows, a fertile oyster turns unpleasantly thin, milky and soft — far from ideal. Many vendors avoid this problem by importing shellfish from cooler climates. Oysters can be genetically modified so they do not spawn. But while they taste the same as their regular counterparts, they tend to look different.
Finally, shellfish can spoil more easily on a hot day if not stored properly. This makes them unappetizing, but not necessarily toxic.
Commercial shellfish are no more likely to be toxic in summer.

Hi, I'm Peter Pudaite, a curious human who's been enjoying the adventures that the technology revolution we are living in has given us. I have been involved in a variety of technology fields since forever. Initially software development for a telecom equipment vendor dealing with performance and scalability, to building large scale networks across Europe, and more recently leading technology teams to delivering the future. I've worked for numerous large companies as well as my own businesses which were not always tech focused.
In my off time, which my wife will argue is too infrequent, I spend time with my kids, take photographs, learn languages (presently Spanish and Mandarin) and run (mostly to get alone time).
I'm on most social platforms though not hugely active. So follow me or say hi if you like what you see here.

Can You Help Find This Pup?
My good friend and blogger Juliepatchouli writes with some very disturbing news that after recently relocating to a new home in the Strawberry Plains area, her wee Pomeranian pup has disappeared, and she would truly appreciate any help in locating the critter, shown in the picture on the left.
Here are the details about his last known location, and please folks, if any of you see him or have some other information, please add it to the comments on this post. A lost pup, traveling in and around major roads is a most fearful thing, especially for an indoor and very small dog like this"
"He's been missing since Friday night 11/2 from the Ashley Oaks Subdivsion, which is off 11E in Strawberry Plains, 3 miles inside the Jefferson County line. He's been shaved recently and has a green halter on him. He has no ID on him! I could kick myself for that, just haven't gotten around to that having just moved, but that is no excuse!!
He's a 3 year old male neutered pom with that golden fox like appearance.
I've sent in a picture to the Jeff county humane society and taken fliers to the vets around here, and to the neighborhoods, and posted them at stores and stop signs. I've been to the Knox shelter too. It got so cold last night, that really is so scary.
He was spotted not to far from Highway 139 (Douglas Dam Road) around a pasture area on Sunday afternoon. We have looked all through that area. There is a BIG trailer park around there and we are going door to door there in the afternoons."
Late this summer, I too had a beloved pet disappear from the home and the absence was pure old Hell on my wits and on poor lost Sophie too.
So help Julie if you can, and send some good thoughts her way!
UPDATE: Sadly, there has been neither a sign or a hint of the lost pup, as of today (Friday). I do appreciate the concerns (as does juliepatchouli) and the search will continue.

My sister-in-law turned me on to these recipe books years ago, when I first met my husband. They are classic and everything is amazing...the pumpkin roll is out of this world...
I did tweak a thing or two in my version of the recipe tho..always add a pinch of cardamom and I like some walnuts in my apple pie crumbs.
I also slightly upped the sugar..go figure! lol
I have been making this pie for 23+ years now.
If you have an apple peeler corer slicer, you are golden! This thing is a major time saver. I have a pampered chef brand one for 20+ years now...but this one is cheaper and my friend has it and uses it with great success..
Crumbly Apple Pie
Flaky Pie Crust (recipe below)
make pie crust below and put into pie pan
In a large bowl..
peel core and slice 5 apples (macintosh is my go to for baking, use your fav)
3/4 C white sugar
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp all spice
1/4 tsp cloves
1/4 tsp nutmeg
pinch cardamom
dash salt
mix apples well to coat with the sugary deliciousness.
Pour into crust...
In food processor (or a bowl using a pastry knife to cut butter)
1 C brown sugar
1 C flour
1/2 c walnuts (optional)
1/3 C butter( I use a little more, I'm out of control)
whirl in food processor until grainy
sprinkle over..okay dump...and push it around until its evenly distributed.
Bake in 400° preheated oven on the bottom rack (rack all the way in bottom level) for 35 mins....I put a crust shield over it after 25-30 mins to prevent the crust edges from over browning.
Flaky Pie Crust
3 C flour
1 tsp salt
1 C (scant) shortening
6 tbsp water
I put all of this in the food processor...you can cut it together by hand with a pastry blender if you prefer.
dump out onto counter and form into a ball making sure its all moistened..cut into three parts and roll out.
You can bake this ahead of time for tarts....I do not pre-bake for this apple pie.
Some things that will make your pride making experience easier, of course you're welcome to use premade piecrusts, and having an apple peeler corer slicer or is a huge timesaver.
I am going to make a few more this week, we are drowning in apples so I will take more pics when I make it again, and update this post.

Alzheimer???s Association Houston & Southeast Texas Chapter received artifact from the World Trade Center

Alzheimer???s Association Houston & Southeast Texas Chapter received artifact from the World Trade Center
Fourteen-foot long section of the third rail from the PATH train stop located under The World Trade Center to be a destination along the new walking path in the garden space at the Chapter???s headquarters.
Houston, TX (August 11, 2016) ??? ???We are honored to accept an artifact from the World Trade Center (WTC) for our soon to be created 9/11 memorial,??? said Richard Elbein, CEO of Alzheimer???s Association Houston & Southeast Texas Chapter. ???Every day we work to support those living with Alzheimer???s Disease and their caregivers. ??We are dedicated to helping them find ways to stay connected to important memories and to each other. ??This artifact represents an important memory in our community and in our nation???s history. It was clear that we needed to help honor and preserve those important cultural memories as well.???
???Dedicated to the courageous acts and tragic losses of September 11, 2001, this commemoration will offer a place for respite and reflection.??? said John Harris, Staff Lead for Federal Public Policy. ???We are proud to become the home of one of the only artifacts from the World Trade Center in Texas.???
Recognizing the importance of preserving and honoring memories, Elbein requested an artifact from the Twin Towers to create a memorial along the new garden path on the spacious grounds of the Chapter???s headquarters. The artifact, a portion of steel rail from the PATH station located in the WTC basement, bears witness to the train operators who bravely continued to evacuate victims as the building collapsed around them. It was gifted by the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey to the Houston & Southeast Texas Chapter of the Alzheimer???s Association. The Houston Police Department escorted the artifact on the final leg of its trip. ??Direct Scaffolding Supply was on-site to receive the 700-pound artifact and provided the in-kind donation of unloading and placing the piece in storage to await the Fall 2016 unveiling.
Construction on the memorial and walking path has already begun and a dedication ceremony will be scheduled this Fall in conjunction with the 15th anniversary of the September 11th attacks.?? Elbein says, ???On 9/11, our first responders bravely set aside concern for their own safety in order to serve others. We see caregivers on a family scale, every day, set aside their own lives to care for someone they love. ??Our hope is that this new monument will be a space that honors the brave men and women who worked courageously on 9/11 and all those who dedicate their lives to the service of others.???

John Fitzhugh Wyckerly has been the spare heir all his life, supporting himself with gambling and charm. The news that he's inherited the bankrupt title of Earl of Danecroft shatters his indolent world. Even penniless, he's always paid his debts, but now the estate's creditors are closing in. He can fake his death and run for cover...or accept overwhelming responsibility and find a rich wife—one who will also accept his illegitimate terror of a daughter.
On his way to find an heiress, he meets Abigail Merriweather, who is neither rich nor aristocratic, but she can tame The Terror and stomp cockroaches. Unfortunately, she needs a wealthy, powerful man who will fight her father's executor and retrieve her four half-siblings. When an unexpected inheritance falls into Abby's lap, she sets out for London to seek a lawyer.
Can Fitz charm his practical Abby into trusting him to save her siblings when it's doubtful that he can even save himself? And can Abby surrender reason and logic for the folly of love offered by a man who can have any woman he wants but insists he wants only her?
"Patricia Rice's historicals are deliciously fresh, sexy, and fun."—Mary Jo Putney, author of Not Quite A Wife
"Rice is a master storyteller …A wonderful blend of humor, pathos, adventure, and charm, this page-turner is book one in Rice's promising Rebellious Sons series." Shelley Mosley, Booklist —a top ten romance for 2010
"I loved it. It's a heartwarming tale that kept me smiling all the way through. Every character entertains and satisfies, from the engaging scapegrace hero who I loved more and more through the book, his wild and insecure love-child and the loving, down-to-earth heroine, right down to the devious old butler and the dyslexic assassin. It's a sweet, sexy, fun romp with so much heart. I can't wait to read the next book in the series." Anne Gracie, author of The Winter Bride

Wanting to ensure people reach the polling stations on Election Day, Game was handing out $20 to voters to take the train, and even driving some to the polls.
We've been hearing from a lot of rappers about their views on the Presidential Election, with the majority of them backing the President Elect, Barack Obama. California native, Game has been doing more than just simply blasting his followers on Twitter with pro-vote tweets. The Compton native is in New York and helping people affected by Hurricane Sandy get to the polling stations by offering them money for transit and giving some rides.
In an interview with Fuse, via HHDX, the rapper says that he has given more than 500 people $20 for them to take the subway to vote, and that he has even picked up would-be voters in his car and drove them to the polls.
He explains that he already completed his absentee ballot, and since he was not one of the many stuck in long lines waiting to vote, he used his time constructively. "Well, what I wanted to do was try to encourage people to in New York [to vote]," the Jesus Piece artist explains, "I filed my absentee ballot for Obama, so when I got out here, I wanted to just give 500 people $20 to get on the train [and] we went to some gas stations, picked people up, took 'em to vote and took 'em back."
Check out the interview below.

Today, just a few short months ahead of the Windows 8 launch, the company has announced a number of new input devices. The highlights of the four products unveiled today are the Wedge mobile keyboard and the Wedge touch mouse, both of which are portable devices aimed at use with Windows 8/RT tablets (as seen above).
Images of both the Wedge mouse and keyboard were leaked in the past weeks, otherwise the designs might come as a bit of a surprise. The keyboard is compact, with an iPhone 4-like metal band around the side (though the finish is brushed as opposed to satin), and it come with a rubber cover. When the cover is removed it will activate the keyboard and then it can be folded into an acute angle (where it will hold its shape) and be used as a stand for a tablet. When the cover is in place it can be held up against a tablets screen without sliding or scratching the glass.
Of course, the keyboard has a Windows hotkey, complete with the new Windows 8 logo. Four of the function buttons have been linked to the Windows 8 charm commands as well.
The mouse is the more peculiar of the two Wedge products. It's extremely small — in fact it's only designed to accommodate two fingers while your palm is placed on the desk surface. There is no wheel, but it can handle 4-way, single finger gestures. This allows the user to scroll up and down as well as side-to-side (which will be useful in the Windows 8 start menu).
Both devices include a number of clever design features. For example the battery covers on each are attached so they can't be dropped or lost in transit. Also, both devices have mechanisms in place that will power them down when they are not in use so your batteries (AA for both) don't drain. The cover on the mouse has a great spring-loaded action which will be hard for fidgety people to stop playing with. Also the battery cover on the mouse won't close if the battery is in backwards. It uses a BlueTrack sensor, so the Wedge mouse will be able to handle all sorts of difficult surfaces, like polished wood and granite.
Along with these two products Microsoft has announced the Sculpt mobile keyboard and the Sculpt touch mouse. These don't have the distinctive design of the Wedge devices, but they aren't as expensive either. The Sculpt keyboard is a thin, compact, wave-style keyboard (as in, somewhere ergonomic) while the mouse is a bit larger then the Wedge but still has the 4-way touch area. This touch area on the Sculpt mouse is actually clickable, so it acts as a third button (the mouse actually has three of them, whereas the Wedge is effectively one big button).
The Wedge products will be available "soon" and keyboard will sell for $80 while the Wedge mouse will be $70. The Sculpt keyboard and mouse will both be $50 when they are available.

Unix OS Agent - Premium Agent convergence
AntonioSgro 120000718K Visits (11303)
IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.2.3 FixPack 1 introduced a first stage of convergence between Unix OS Agent (KPX) and Premium Agent (KPX) on AIX platform.
The new KUX agent introduced a set of metrics coming from the Premium Agent as described in the following link:
The data collection of these metrics is done by a new daemon (aixdp_daemon) that is controlled by the Unix OS Agent and it is enabled by default and can be controlled (locally or remotely using tacmd CLI) using the KUX_AIXDP configuration variable.
The data collection of the new metrics starts only on AIX and only at the following minimum AIX levels: AIX 5.3 TL12 and AIX 6.1 TL5
The KPX and new KUX agent can coexist on the same machine and the upgrade is allowed only from old KUX agent to the new KUX agent.

When it's a master player that you have a "chance" to get if you win I don't even bother. I haven't heard from one person who's actually gotten a player like that.
They want you to spend. So they make the chances smaller than hitting the lottery.
I did the boom or bust pack for 500 madden cash and my second pack I got Saquon thats pretty sad lol

A group of former bankers and hedge fund financiers have come up with a radical plan to distribute the government-owned shares in Royal Bank of Scotland and Lloyds Banking Group to the public, as an alternative to a conventional bank privatisation.
The proposal has won the backing of the Liberal Democrat backbench Treasury committee. Stephen Williams, MP for Bristol West and co-chairman of the committee, will present the plan today.
RBS and Lloyds had to be bailed out in 2008, leaving them 84% and 43% owned by the government. Lloyds recently reported its first full-year profit since the crisis, although RBS is still in the red. As the banks return to profitability, the government is expected to sell its stakes, which could happen as early as next year. The new proposal is billed as an alternative way of rewarding taxpayers for the £66bn in government money that was ploughed into the banks.
The corporate finance firm Portman Capital Partners, set up in 2009 by five former City professionals, drew up the plan, which is outlined in a paper, seen by the Guardian, entitled "Getting your share of the banks: giving the banks back to the people". It proposes that state-owned bank shares should be handed out, for free, to all 45 million British adults on the electoral register, with each person receiving about 1,450 shares in RBS and 440 in Lloyds.
"Nothing like this has ever been done before," said Williams, adding: "There are no insurmountable hurdles." When he was still in opposition, the chancellor, George Osborne, floated the idea of a "people's bank bonus", a scheme under which shares in state-owned banks would be sold at a discount.
Portman has developed a model that guarantees a fixed minimum price, known as the "floor price", allowing people to pocket the difference when the share price rises above this.
So, for example, the floor price could be fixed at the level at which the shares were bought by the government – 51p per share for RBS and 74p for Lloyds. Then, if the share price rises to, for example, 75p for RBS and £1.10 for Lloyds – well below their historic highs – the profit would be more than £500 per person. Automatic trading would be the default option for individuals, meaning that the shares could be sold on their behalf within two to three years, although people could opt out and trade the shares themselves.
Williams and Portman admit that there is a risk that, if the shares do not rise, it could take a while for the government to get its money back. But they argue that the alternatives are far less appealing – a heavily discounted share sale or a sale of large chunks of RBS and Lloyds to a long-term investor, such as sovereign wealth funds in China or the Gulf states. Qatar has already expressed an interest.
"If we don't go down the proposed route, sovereign wealth funds and somebody else's citizens will pick up the benefits," Williams said.
The government will not be able to offload its large stakes at once, requiring sales over several years, and the shares would have to be sold at a substantial discount. This increases the risk that the public will never get their money back – as has happened in the US, where the Obama administration has lost at least $10bn (£6.1bn) in selling a tranche of its shares in General Motors, Williams said.
Portman wants to kick off the process with a £5bn convertible bond sale covering 6% of the shares and a £10bn share placing, raising £15bn for the government upfront. It estimates total costs, including investment banking fees, at about £250m, far below the £700m investment banks might charge for a conventional privatisation.
Toby Fenwick, Portman's public sector practice director, who previously worked for NatWest and the Treasury, described the plan as "putting real flesh on the 'big society'".
"We'll make sure the fees are as minimal as possible. We'll be pushing for the equity placing to be the biggest pro bono work the City has ever done," added James Conway of Portman, who previously worked for Deutsche Bank and hedge fund Arrowgrass.
Williams says the plan offers an "idea for giving us all a stake in the banks, for HM Treasury to clear its debt and just maybe for an increase in confidence that capitalism can be popular and fair".

When Justice League drops later this year, we will know exactly how it measures against The Avengers.
Today, however, box office receipts and Rotten Tomatoes scores are meaningless. We're talking about the power dynamics of the two legendary teams that defend the home turf of DC Comics and Marvel. What happens when you put Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman opposite the Hulk, Thor, and Captain America?
As they say in the myriad "who would win?" threads, it all depends on who's writing the script. Fair play, but if we take a look at the individual strengths of each superhero, it's clear who emerges victorious. The Justice League has a deeper bench of talent, a more diverse set of heroes, greater experience in the line of fire, and this guy named Clark Kent.
There's more to the story, so here are The 15 Reasons The Justice League Would Beat The Avengers:
15 Their Darker Origins Are A Huge Advantage
If the Avengers were forced to take on the Justice League, it would be nothing short of a doomsday scenario. That's good news for the motley crew from DC Comics. As Bane might say, they were born in the darkness and molded by it. Batman's childhood was an emotional hell and Superman survived the extinction of his people, but almost all of the Justice League members have equally tragic beginnings.
Diana Prince has seemingly lived a thousand lives and continually watched her loved ones die of both natural and violent causes. Victor Stone suffered monstrous attacks and awoke to find his prodigiously athletic frame replaced by chunks of metal. That's a horrific scenario that has no equal on the Avengers. From Spider-Man to Captain America, these metahuman boosters are gifts, not curses. Even the Hulk, perhaps the most tragic figure on the team, sees more good than harm from his all green upgrades.
Dark origins don't necessarily make the Justice League better than the Marvel counterparts, but it certainly gives them the edge in the heat of battle.
14 They've Trained Against Worthy Villains
It's not a question of strength as much as style. The Avengers and their solo fighters have certainly encountered all manner of earthly and intergalactic goons throughout their career. Though they have demonstrated incredible physical prowess in their fights, the Avengers would have a tougher time against the primary villains of The Justice League. The DC Comics rogues gallery is as nasty and diverse as they come.
On the ground level, you have freaks like the Joker – villains who specialize in theatricality, gamesmanship, and chicanery. This requires the cunning intelligence of Batman to keep the team above water. Then, there is the WrestleMania class of villains led by monsters like Doomsday. Superman made the ultimate sacrifice just to put that mad dog down for good. Finally, there are the cosmically dangerous baddies like Darkseid, the sort that demand the total attention of every member of the Justice League.
If The Avengers' villains are equivalent to a Bachelor's Degree in Fist-Fighting, the Justice League have a Ph.D. in Global Defense. You can be sure that level of experience will be a major factor in the final showdown.
13 They Have A More Defined Hierarchy
The Justice League is not unlike the United Nations Security Council. Though each member is powerful in their own right, a select few are nigh unstoppable. Superman is without question the most fearsome fighter on the squad, but his humility allows the League to operate like a well-oiled machine. He even empowers Batman (arguably the moral spine of the team) with a sliver of Kryptonite as a failsafe should he ever lose control. Though the Justice League is not without instances of infighting, envy, and mistrust, it's built on a solid foundation of respect and order. They know who's in charge and continually keep the peace. Even in times of dissent, they maintain an air of diplomacy
While The Avengers bear the American pride of Steve Rogers and the bank account of Tony Stark, it lacks the organizational structure of the Justice League. Though Marvel's finest certainly know how to exploit each other's strengths in the line of fire, they will be eclipsed by the Justice League's big picture approach to battle.
12 The Avengers Lack Powerhouse Fighters
Taken in total, The Avengers are not to be threatened. Armed with the hammer of Thor, Peter Parker's webs, and Iron Man's suits, the possibilities are endless for Marvel's main team. When you pick apart their marquee players and separate them from one another, however, the cracks start to show. The fact remains: The Avengers don't have enough powerhouse fighters to match the Justice League. Yes, they have a Hulk, but he's best in short bursts and when kept at arm's length from the Man of Tomorrow. Outside of Ol' Jade Jaws, you're looking at Black Panther, Hawkeye, Falcon, Black Widow, and other superheroes who will fade like daylight in a turf war against the Justice League.
When you have a legitimate warrior princess in Wonder Woman, a god-like alien with limitless strength in Superman, and a billionaire brawling tactician in Batman, it's hard to look at The Avengers with any sort of fear. Sure, Scarlet Witch could hex the hell out of the League, and Captain America would pose some problems, but nobody from Marvel's main office has the gift for unhinged combat like the Justice League.
11 They Don't Assemble. They Unite.
Without kicking off an MCU vs. DCEU grudge match, the defining slogans for both teams must be assessed. Call it semantics, pettiness, or boredom, but there's a chasmic difference between "Assemble" and "Unite." For starters, the Justice League existed in comics long before the Avengers. They didn't have a catchphrase, nor even need one to justify their existence. When Marvel realized they needed a metahuman tag-team of their own, they drafted the Avengers and gave them a defining slogan: "Assemble!" It proved a fun, albeit casual avenue to put their most popular and colorful characters in a single comics panel.
The Justice League is different. They don't align because they want to. They do it because they don't have a choice. Just look at the latest Justice League trailer and the prominent conversation about leaders: "They said the age of heroes would never come again," Diana posits before Bruce Wayne responds, "It has to." The Justice League doesn't just assemble. They unite. And in the world of superheroes, that makes all the difference.
10 Martian Manhunter Is The Wildcard
Superman often gets credit for being the top dog, but the Justice League has an equally powerful alien in its midst. Martian Manhunter is the vastly underrated fighter with an even greater array of physical powers and abilities than the Man of Steel. Beyond his game-changing super-strength, Manhunter can fly, regenerate, and even blast energy beams from his eyes. Most importantly, J'onn J'onzz's biggest advantage is his ability to shapeshift. This means he can effortlessly move through objects and become entirely invisible at will. Martian Manhunter may not be the most famous member of the Justice League, but according to Superman himself, he's the "most powerful being on Earth."
This spells trouble for The Avengers. Standing side by side, the Man of Steel and Martian Manhunter basically sound the death knell for anyone standing in their way. So long as The Avengers don't figure out that fire is J'onn J'onzz's undoing, they'll be in for a world of hurt.
9 They're Richer Than The Avengers
Ah, the money card. Beyond box office numbers, wealth matters in the superhero world. While the combined resources of The Avengers and the Justice League would make a dent in the global GWP, it's DC's squad that ultimately contributes more. Bruce Wayne is the obvious sugar daddy and the billionaire majority shareholder of his own company. There's Oliver Queen, who not only sits atop his own multi-billion dollar venture but frequently gives hefty sums of money to benefit the Justice League. Aquaman has amassed quite a fortune in the high seas, and as he explained in the New 52, there is over $60 billion in shipwrecked treasure at his disposal. Finally, there's Wonder Woman, the Amazonian princess with access to legendary amounts of wealth.
The Avengers, of course, have Tony Stark's success to back them up, plus Black Panther's insane national wealth, but their combined resources and net worth can't compete with the diversified strengths of the Justice League.
8 Superman Handles Hulk
The Hulk's primary advantage is his ability to lose control. His anger accesses a berserker rage that would leave most superheroes crying uncle. Superman is one of the few fighters who could handle the Green Giant without dying in the process, and in each of their three recorded crossovers in Marvel/DC history, the Man of Steel has unsurprisingly been victorious. The reasoning is clear: what value does the Hulk have when he can't compete with Superman's speed? In a one-on-one fight, Kal-El would quickly wear out Jade Jaws, like Manny Pacquiao against Floyd Mayweather's draining routine. An uppercut from the Hulk would undoubtedly throw Superman for a loop, but his ungodly reflexes should defend him from almost any counterattacks the Hulk can muster. Even if Superman were caught, the Hulk would get zapped by his enemy's heat vision and lose all momentum.
Considering his penchant for peace, and his hesitancy to ever access the depth of his powers, Superman would ultimately forego killing the Hulk and likely blast him into a neighboring solar system. That could lead to another World War Hulk scenario, but that's a problem for another day.
7 Actually...Superman Takes All
In a battle against the Avengers, the Hulk would only be the title fight. After dispatching Ol' Jade Jaws, Superman would methodically lay waste to the rest of the Marvel team before they could even bid each other farewell. Flying at the speed of light, the Man of Steel would steadily dismantle Iron Man, Black Widow, Captain America, Thor, and anyone else who dared to stick around. It would end so quickly that if fans paid to watch, they would demand a refund. A properly enraged Superman would essentially turn The Avengers into the Ronda Rousey of the superhero world.
Though they have a deep bench, the Avengers have few fighters that could withstand more than a second of contact against the Man of Steel. Thor and Hulk are the only ones who even have a shot at survival, while everyone from Iron Man to Black Widow would be instantly killed by Superman's insurmountable strength and speed.
6 Flash Bests Quicksilver
In a one-on-one battle, Flash would wipe the floor with Quicksilver. No matter which version you choose of the legendary speedster, he's guaranteed to run laps around the fastest man in the Marvel Universe. Assuming both metahumans have full access to their enhanced strengths, the Flash would tap into the Speed Force and exceed the speed of light, while Quicksilver might near the sound barrier. In more technical terms, Barry Allen sees objects fly past him in an "attosecond." This translates into a straight up embarrassment for Quicksilver, who remains so outclassed by the Flash that he would never even see him.
Speed aside, Barry Allen has received hand-to-hand combat training by not only Jay Garrick but by the leaders of the Justice League. Batman and Superman have personally taught the Flash how to punch above his weight. In addition to thinking fast and moving faster, Barry Allen can duke out his enemies with a surprising amount of force.
5 Aquaman Rules 70% Of The Planet (And Then Some)
He might not be able to take down the whole team, but Aquaman would present a major problem for The Avengers. Not only can he hold his own on land (as the new Justice League seems keen to showcase), but he rules the roost in his aquatic lair. That gives Arthur Curry the leg up on 70% of Earth's surface area. When in water, he can swim over 6,000 miles per hour, see in total darkness, and use his telepathic powers to communicate with all manner of marine life. This gives him the potential to set killer whales and sharks on his foes.
Not unlike Superman's enhanced powers on Earth, Aquaman is arguably even stronger on land. He has been known to lift buildings, beat Deathstroke, and even nearly choke out the Batman himself. When armed with his nearly unbreakable trident, he can turn enemies into a kebab and summon lightning like Thor. It's not hard to see why Aquaman would make The Avengers a little uneasy.
4 Green Lantern's Power Ring
Armed with a power ring, Hal Jordan can pick apart The Avengers like fish in a barrel. Arguments about his overpowered abilities are totally valid, because all Green Lantern needs to wreak havoc on Stan Lee's A-team is a potent imagination and an iron will. He could not only create a hammer to flatten the Hulk, but he could atomize 'Ol Jade Jaws if he so desired. Should none of these options appeal to him, Green Lantern can also take advantage of the "pocket dimension" and literally trap the Hulk inside the universe of his ring (as Abin Sur once did to a malevolent sorcerer).
Call it unfair, repetitive, or even boring. However you slice it, Green Lantern wears the ruby slippers of the superhero world. He may not be physically unbeatable, but his power ring is truly unlimited in nature. This gives him the drop in not only his one-on-one matchups, but against the Avengers as a whole.
3 Batman Outsmarts Captain America
It has been said that Batman and Captain America are the most evenly matched fighters in the Justice League/Avengers showdown. Though they are both brawlers in their own right, Bruce Wayne and Steve Rogers have less in common than you think. On the surface, Captain America has this fight in the bag. Amped on super soldier serum, he carries a Vibranium shield that serves as the ultimate offensive and defensive weapon. Batman, on the other hand, is merely a wealthy mortal with high-tech toys and a keen understanding of the art of war.
But that's all he needs. With ample prep time, Batman would counter Cap's advantages and run him into the ground. While Steve Rogers is known for his patriotism and bravery, the Dark Knight is known for his intelligence and his cunning. In addition to marshaling the Justice League as a whole, Batman's stealth and strategy will reveal Captain America's vulnerabilities and find him wanting. By the time the Caped Crusader landed the final blow, he would have figured out 5 different ways to take down the rest of Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
2 Wonder Woman Breaks Thor
However exciting the other matchups may be, Thor vs. Wonder Woman would undoubtedly be the sickest fight of all to watch. It's the closest thing to Ragnarok in all of comics, pitting the son of Odin against the reincarnated God of War and daughter of Zeus. While a hammer-wielding Thor is no idle threat, he would hardly stand a chance against the woman who may be the most powerful fighter in comics. Indeed, Diana Prince is the all-in-one supreme goddess filled with the powers and abilities of Mount Olympus' finest. She not only inherits the physical prowess of her deific ancestors, but gains their wisdom and intelligence, too (traits that were largely left out of Thor's DNA).
Considering how much older her ancient people are than the Asgardians, Wonder Woman brings centuries of additional combat experience to the table. She capitalizes on her history by wielding a set of weapons that outclass Thor's whack-a-mole hammer. Ultimately, it would be a fight for the ages, but Wonder Woman would eclipse Thor and affirm her value in the Justice League.
1 Each of the Seven Are Willing to Die
In the age of heroes, there is great glory in death. Rest assured, members of the Justice League have died many, many times. Though the Avengers are not without their moments of sacrifice, the JL squad have a distinguished history of falling in the line of fire. Batman famously got blasted by Darkseid's omega beams, getting burnt to a crisp and (briefly) dying before getting catapulted through time and space. Superman gave the last full measure in his final showdown against Doomsday. The Flash literally ran himself to death to keep the world from imploding. The Anti-Monitor (a popular DC comics hero killer) reversed the clocks on Wonder Woman and dissolved her from existence. Hal Jordan sacrificed himself to literally restart the sun. The list goes on, and on, and on.
Nothing is more intimidating than fighting heroes who are unafraid and willing to die. The Avengers can put up their best fight, but they'll never outmatch the sheer will of the Justice League.
What other advantages does the Justice League have over the Avengers? Do you think Earth's Mightiest Heroes would come out on top against DC's finest? Let us know in the comments!

Hi Kiwis,
finally come out now another post about Zoo Adventures. This time I wanna bring you with me to a special place called Arnhem, Holland.
In this wonderful town I already was several times but I don't really have pictures to show you about it as I never took my camera with me in that days. Arnhem is an eastern city of Holland, just 150 km around far away from where we actually live, a good reachable place by car.
If you are asking yourself the answer to your question is for sure YES. We visited nearly every zoo in the near of 200 km, isn't that crazy??? By the way, as I already told in the "Welcome to my new world" post, we bought a new 75-300mm camera lens. So which better place if not the Burgers' zoo for test and practice with it?! That practice trial is also the main reason why in this post I will show you less photos than usual. 😀 I avoid it, I had some serious troubles at the beginning to hold that heavy lens on, therefore for bird photography it was hard. At the end of our visit I felted my arms like if I lifted weights for an hour!
Visiting Burgers' Zoo, Arnhem
As this post is the resume of a catastrophic photography trial, I wanna let you judge by yourself the result and give more space to the photos than to words.
So let's start with it!
Maybe that Tiger photo is the proof of all my shooting efforts during that hours in Arnhem. Probably not the best shot I have ever done, but enough good for being satisfied of the first results. No doubts about the fact that if it wasn't the glass effect in front this picture would be thousand times better and colorful.
One of the things that made me return a child in a couple of seconds have been staring that two elephants enjoying their meal, they looked so happy about it, like a kid when is opening a gift. I rarely saw elephants eating, I guess the first and last time I just was 5 years old, but look them in this way with my adult eyes was another story. Is useless to say that the Burgers' zoo had conquer my heart after few minutes I was there.
That's probably the perfect photo for do a comparison with the elephants. When I see this Meerkat I still remind me how much angry I was become for get one of them in focus as I wished for. They move always and very fast, that seriously improved my capabilities and my patience.
Who follow me on Instagram or my blog, know very well how much I love reptiles and amphibians. So, you can imagine how my eyes shined when I saw this amazing 2 mt long Monitor Lizard, diving in the water and its gentle movements for return up. Isn't that face sweet and lovely?!?!
Burgers' Zoo have been probably one of the places where I have enjoy the most to experiment photography. Till now I tried to use that lens just on far away subjects and it worked really good. But what happens if I try to use it as a macro? Well, this tiny mushrooms shot is the result of another worthy trial. Aaaaah, think about it, is really true that the best fairy tales are the ones with a happy ending! 🙂
Something that I have extremely loved of the Burgers' Zoo is the variety of natural habitude they have create. Is not to underestimate that. Many zoos they simply put in the same area animals that have nothing to do next to each other, without really taking care of the real physical needing of their little (or big) guests. This zoo merit a real huge "Z" for the good work they did. One of these areas that have simply let me speachless have been doubtless the Tropical Rainforest "Bush". This is so well build that you could nearly believe was all true, catapulted in the tropics in a couple of seconds and overwhelmed by the (nearly intolerable) heat and humidity.
Another macro trial. This photo express in it all the delicacy it could exist in this world.
P.S. I haven't kill the flower, I just hold it shortly for get a photo in focus!
Another thing of the Burgers' Zoo that have let me speechless was the luxury of that bathroom. When you go to bathroom in public places you expect something totally different from that. Such kind of bathroom even not some 4 stars hotels have it!
As probably you already recognized, in this zoo the care of details and the refinement is transmitted not just by the animals but also by the seldom plants and flowers they choose for it. In that afternoon I had the chance to admire also some plants I had never saw with my real eyes my whole life long.
Here following some photos…
Bananas. Everyone of us have seen banana palms once in life. I am from Italy and I avoid that is possible there to get some banana fruits, but it will never grow up enough for become yellow as a minion and eatable. What's stunning of that picture is that rarely you will get the chance to see a banana palm get fruits in a glass tropical house. Well, that was it seems my lucky day!
"We will make Burgers' Zoo greater again!". I should seriously start to take in consideration a career as creative copywriter in facts…
If they would need a sentence that advertise them I guess this could be perfect. Like americans it seems they like do things always better and bigger than all the other Zoos. Before the bananas and now? An unbelievable tall Cacao Tree (or cocoa for the american followers). BAAAMMMM and in one second they have blown away the competition.
Probably all great comments I said about the Tropical glass house in Arnhem I can resume it with these photos (and without add other words).
So with this last macro picture, that describe perfectly how nature is able to play with creativity and create masterpieces, I close this post about Burgers' Zoo, that gifted us great stunning and unforgettable moments.
Burgers' Zoo have been able to create such an amazing place, for their animals but also for their human guests. That for a while permit you to detach your feet and eyes from the bad reality and dive in an amazing world that seems nearly surreal so perfect it is.

East Antrim MP Sammy Wilson has welcomed a decision that will ensure continuity of electricity supply for Northern Ireland.
In a statement, Mr. Wilson said: "Whilst I am glad the regulator has made a decision on the future of Kilroot, there is obvious disappointment with the loss of 85 jobs, however I am pleased that 178 have been saved.
"In general, for Northern Ireland, it is good to have continuity of supply. That was always a major issue. Kilroot was supplying 42 per cent of Northern Ireland's power. To have lost it would have been disastrous for our economy and could have led to massively disruptive outages.
"A service agreement has been reached. Indeed, this agreement is an indication that the original complacency of both the Regulator and Systems Operator, regarding the loss of Kilroot, was misplaced."

Please review the "Tips for Success" pdf below for important information on how to make the most out of exhibiting with us!
For those exhibiting in any public shows in the Province of Quebec, you should be aware that there are language laws found in the Charter of the French Language, which are in effect when doing business in the Province of Quebec. These laws were recently amended in May 2011. The changes clarified that all companies showcasing at a public event (all National Event Management Shows are deemed public events) regardless of whether you are based outside of Quebec or outside of Canada you must comply with French language laws.
What does this mean for exhibitors?
Catalogues, brochures, folders and commercial directories must be available in French at the show. Handouts can be bilingual or publications may be in 2 separate versions, one exclusively in French, the other exclusively in another language, provided that the material presentation of the French version is available under no less favourable conditions of accessibility and quality than the version in the other language.
Public signs and posters may be exclusively in French or both in French and in another language, provided that French appears at least as prominently (twice as big or as present).
Since French is the official language of Quebec, there should be at least one French speaking staff person available in your booth during all show hours. Consumers of goods and services have a right to be informed and served in French. There are a few exceptions to these rules, based on trademarked names, showcasing of company name, etc. For the complete Charter, please visit http://www2.publicationsduquebec.gouv.qc.ca/dynamicSearch/telecharge.php?type=2&file=/C_11/C11_A.html
***Please refer to the Commerce and Business Section (Chapter VII), and the Exceptions to Section 51 for situations where English is permitted (Company Name, Trademark, etc.) Please review the legislation changes and your booth signage, materials and staffing plan to ensure you are in compliance with the new regulations.
Insurance for booth/show
Exhibitors must have their own liability insurance covering a minimum of $1 million in damages. Please list National Event Management as "additional insured".
Transportation Insurance
Show Management is NOT responsible for damages caused during the transportation of your products. We strongly recommend purchasing transportation insurance when booking your shipments.
Exhibitors will be liable for, will indemnify, and will hold harmless Show Management from any loss or damage whatsoever occurring to, or suffered by, any person or company. This includes, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, exhibitor, other exhibitors, management, the owners of the building and their respective agents, servants and employees, and members of the public attending the show, either (a) on the said space or (b) elsewhere. Neither the facility nor Show Management will be responsible for loss or damage to persons, exhibits, or decorations by fire, accident, theft, or any cause while in the exhibition buildings.
- Diagram #1 shows the drapes that are provided as a part of your booth cost.
- Diagram #2 shows the allowed clearance for displays, banners and products within your booth.
- No exhibit may exceed a maximum height of 8 ft.
- Side panels 8 ft. high, must not exceed a depth of 4 ft. extending from the back of the display.
- The remainder of the 6 ft. depth from the front of the booth must not exceed a 4 ft. height.
- Any exceptions to this must have pre-approval from Dina Latina ([email protected]).
Prefab booth partitions must be finished on both sides. If they are not, please request drapes prior to the show.
No signage or material may be extended above the 8ft height at the back of your booth nor hung from the ceiling or across the aisle, without approval from Show Management. All signs must be printed on one side only. Your brand messaging can only face the inner walls of your exhibit space.
Carpet or Flooring
Carpet or Flooring is mandatory for all exhibits. You can use the show decorator below or you are welcome to bring in your own at your own cost. See Tape Restrictions below.
Tape (Floor, Wall, and Carpet Damage)
It is important that you use the proper carpet tape in your booth. If you do not use the correct tape there will be a charge for tape removal.
Here are the models of two-faced tapes that are authorized by the facility.
- Polyken 105c LPDE
- Scapa 274004
If you bring your own carpet, you must adhere to the above Tape Restrictions. If you do not have the proper tape, please notify Show Management before installing your carpet or tiles.
Restrictions for Booth Installation
Painting, nailing, drilling, or screwing to the floors, walls or any other part of the building is not permitted. Exhibitors are also responsible for oil, grease, or any general damage to the carpeted area. Exhibitors wishing to lay any floor coverings may not fasten the coverings to the building floor. It is suggested that building paper or the approved tape (Polyken 105c LPDE OR Scapa 274004 OR DC W002A) is used instead.
Displays, demonstrations or distribution of advertising materials, are not permitted outside the confines of your booth. If audio visual equipment is used, the sound must be subdued to such an extent as to ensure its having no nuisance effect on neighbouring exhibitors. The use of microphones is not permitted without prior management approval.
Fire Regulations
All exhibitors planning to use any type of fuel (such as gas, oil, helium gas, or propane) in their exhibits are requested to contact Show Management. All displays or exhibited materials must be fireproof to conform to Federal, Provincial/Sate, and City Fire Laws.
National Event Management is obligated to abide by the Fire Code regulations in each city. We therefore retain the right to refuse any material or object that does not confirm to code. If you have a question or need information re the Fire Code please contact Dina Latina, [email protected], 905-477-2677 or 1-800-891-4859, ext. 224.

Helium Balloons
Helium balloons are prohibited in most venues. There is a large retrieval fee when balloons are lost. Please contact Dina Latina ([email protected]) if you wish to use helium balloons in your display.
Mechanical Conveyances
Mechanical Conveyances such as electric carts, scooters, or bicycles will not be allowed in the aisles during the show hours. The only exceptions to this rule will be in the case of handicapped persons visiting the show, or those with authorization from Show Management.
National Event Management reserves the right to make changes, amendments, and additions to the rules and regulations without notice, as considered necessary to the efficient and proper conduct of the show. Interpretation of these rules and regulations shall rest with Show Management and non-compliance can result in ejection of the offending exhibitor or in the closing of his/her exhibit.

Reasons to scrap your car
There are a lot of reasons for wanting to scrap an old banger. In our experience the most common reason of all is that the vehicle has failed its MOT and the required work to repair it is simply too expensive. If you have an old car that is not being used you will either need to declare it of the road or scrap it, but keeping the car you will still need to keep it taxed.

- The nice thing about starting a more hectic schedule at this time of year is that you know IT WILL GET BETTER. Of course it will get better because ALL (most?) schedule changes get better. You adjust. You tweak. You compromise. But having a schedule change occur during the darkest part of the year means that while it is awful right now, there is (literally!) light at the end of the tunnel and in a few months one of the tweaks you make is to not fall asleep at 6pm.
- Getting on a different schedule with less free time means all of a sudden I feel compelled to fit ALL THE THINGS into that free time. I seriously do not think I have meditated or done yoga in 3 months and while it is a worthy endeavor to find time and space, it is NOT a worthy endeavor to beat myself up over it. Also, since I DO want to fall asleep at 6pm these days, I'm basically trying to cram a bunch of self-improvement stuff into the 5am – 8:30am time slot which includes an hour wait time between taking my thyroid meds and when I'm allowed to drink coffee. Insane.
- One thing I HAVE been religious about since the roads got icy and the sun went away is using my elliptical in the morning. I find it very boring, but a month or so ago I finally broke down and got an iPhone 6 which is just a big enough screen to watch romantic comedies on. That makes it bearable and sometimes I can trick myself into working out a little longer if I get to a good part.
- Although if time and weather cooperate on the weekends, I still prefer a walk outdoors. After a few weeks of icy temperatures, things have warmed up here and there is pretty much no snow on the ground and today it rained. RAINED. I love it of course but it is weird and also making me anxious. Like I'm waiting for the other, ice-storm-power-out-for-days, boot to drop.

LONDON — The phantom finally has a date.
"Love Never Dies," Andrew Lloyd Webber's long-awaited sequel to his blockbuster tuner "The Phantom of the Opera," will premiere March 9 at London's Adelphi Theater before bowing on Broadway Nov. 11 and in Australia in 2011.
Originally skedded for fall 2009, the delayed production was to have opened simultaneously in London, New York and an Asian city rumored to be Shanghai. The London premiere is now set to take place some distance ahead of its international rollout, with previews in the West End beginning Feb. 20. Lloyd Webber announced the new schedule for the show at a press conference Thursday in London.
The already recorded cast album will be released on March 10, the morning after the show's world premiere.
Staged by the "Hairspray" team of director Jack O'Brien and choreographer Jerry Mitchell, the production has a book by Lloyd Webber and Ben Elton, with Glenn Slater and Frederick Forsyth, and lyrics by Slater ("The Little Mermaid," "Sister Act").
It will be designed by Bob Crowley with lighting by Paule Constable. Ramin Karimloo will play the Phantom, with Sierra Boggess ("The Little Mermaid") as Christine. Both actors are revisiting roles they have played before — Karimloo in the London "Phantom" and Boggess in "Phantom — The Las Vegas Spectacular." No further casting has yet been announced.
Set 10 years after "The Phantom of the Opera," "Love Never Dies" continues the story of the obsessive Phantom, who has moved from the Paris Opera House to haunt the fairgrounds of New York's Coney Island.
The follow-up has its work cut out for it in trying to emulate the success of "Phantom," which is still running in London after more than 9,500 performances since its first preview on Sept. 27, 1986. It is also Broadway's longest-running show (it opened on the Rialto in January 1988) and has been seen by 100 million people worldwide, been translated into 15 languages and appeared in 25 countries including China, Brazil, Poland and Korea. Global album sales are in excess of 40 million copies. The producers describe "The Phantom of the Opera" as the single most successful piece of entertainment of all time, with a total worldwide gross of $5 billion.
Tickets for the musical sequel in London will have a top price of £67.50 ($108) — a new high for the West End.
With work on "Love Never Dies" continuing through much of next year in London and New York, that schedule places a question mark over the timeline for "Catch Me if You Can," the tuner adaptation of the 2002 Steven Spielberg film, also directed and choreographed by O'Brien and Mitchell, respectively. The show had a tryout run in Seattle this summer, and while no Broadway plans are firmed, legit insiders have been speculating about a possible spring opening.
"We're weighing all of our options, but we can't comment at this time," said Michael Hartman, a spokesman for the show. However, the timing of "Love Never Dies" in London and New York leaves a window open for "Catch Me" to come into Gotham at some point in between.
(David Rooney in New York contributed to this report.)

With the recent shooting at a school in Newtown Connecticut and the shooting in Aurora Colorado violent video games are in the news again. The old men in the old media are blaming violent video games as they always do when a shooting hits the national news.
Violent video games have been the target of old media and conservatives for years. They will spout dubious studies and claim there is a link. They will blame any act of violence on violent video games even if the perpetrator never played a video game in his life.
In 1954 Fredric Wertham published the book Seduction of the Innocent[1] in which he blamed comic books for juvenile crime. From his book arose the comics code which castrated the comic book industry for decades[2]. Decades before the film industry suffered similarly. In 1930 the Hollywood studios instituted the motion picture production code which like the comics code castrated the film industry. The Hollywood studios instituted it because of a growing moral panic about immorality in films and the film industry feared the government would step in and regulate the morals of the film industry them selves[3].
Both the comics code and motion picture production code restricted or out rite banned violence, sex, gore, the super natural, criticism of authority, how criminals where depicted, drug use (even if it was an anti-drug message), depictions of homosexuality, depictions of relationships between people of different races, etc.
Views: 112
It is not just the media. The National Rifle Association in its eagerly-awaited press release yesterday blamed violent video games and violent film for the shootings, and demanded a national registry of the mentally ill. That is where the media got it.
The last is a chilling thought: the mentally ill are eleven times more likely to be the victims of violent crime than others, and one-in-four reports violent crime against them every year.
Such a database as the NRA is asking for is similar to public sex offender registries. First, they get posted everywhere. Second, you can't get off them, and you can't know who all has posted them where. Third, it makes you a target for someone who wishes to do violence.
Such a database would have the exact same effect on the mentally ill, a subjective diagnosis for many at best. It would cause undue hardship in employment, relationships, insurance, you name it.
As for the Comics Code Authority (a voluntary measure of self-censorship enacted by the comic companies to avoid government regulation of their industry), it is now defunct.

There are many milestones in our lives that get celebrated. Usually, an event worth celebration brings with it an opportunity to give gifts to the person having the special day. When it comes to giving gifts, it can sometimes be a difficult choice, depending on the occasion. One gift, which is always welcomed, is a photo frame. Think about how many pictures you already have in your home. Do you have photos waiting for frames? If you're like most people, you probably have more than a few photos stuck in limbo that are waiting on frames. Baby showers aren't the only time that a baby photo frame makes a great gift. There are actually several occasions when it would not only be appropriate, but it would be a very thoughtful and appreciated gift. Birthdays are always special, but there are some which we put extra meaning to, and these birthdays would be a great time to give a framed baby photo of the person having a birthday. Give a baby photo framed with a birthday boy (or girl) who's celebrating a milestone birthday. You can give a sweet sixteen celebrant a photo frame that includes images of the first 15 years, or find a humorous photo to frame of a now "over the hill†birthday boy or girl. Nothing says your children are growing up on you more than graduation. It's that time when they're expected to go out into the world without you and enter college. If you're lucky, you live within driving distance to the college of choice, but how often does that really happen? On graduation day, there's one way to let them know you're still there to look out for them, even if they are becoming an adult. A graduation themed baby photo frame will let your graduate know they're still a kid in your heart, and give them a piece of home to take with them. A wedding is yet another perfect time to give a baby photo frame. It will let the bride to be know that although she's marrying another man, she will always be daddy's little girl. A bridal themed photo frame is a popular gift for weddings, but you seldom see a baby photo frame complete with the bride (and groom) as a child given as a gift. You can give a gift that's both unique, and expresses your love for your daughter. A baby photo frame is more than just a baby shower gift. It can represent different feelings, depending on the occasion for which it's given. It's a universal gift, since everyone was at one time, a baby. With a little imagination, you can probably think of other situations where it would be an appropriate gift. With the availability of a wide assortment of themes, you can practically match a frame with almost any occasion imaginable. If you have a theme in mind and you can't locate a frame that you like locally, you might want to go online and find an even larger assortment of frames. Some shops will even custom create a frame for you, and it's more affordable than you might think.

Beerman's Pick
FLENSBURGER BEERS are decidedly different. Their unusually fresh, full-bodied taste really is something special. Their high quality is achieved by the use of outstanding ingredients, state-of-the- art brewing technology and the expert care of experienced master brewers.
We've got four styles to choose from. Check 'em out!
- Flens Pilsener
This brew is unmistakable in character and freshness. Its unusually hoppy-fresh aroma and wholesomeness are the epitome of good taste in beer.
- Flens Gold
This is a mild, tasty beer with an elegant hoppy touch. It's brewed with fine aromatic hops in absolute premium quality - naturally to the strict standards of the 1516 German Purity Law. Flens Gold is a pale golden beer brewed like a pils with a good head, a full, soft, fresh taste and a pleasant, lightly yeasty bouquet.
- Flens Weizen
This is Flensburger's wheat beer. "Plop-fresh", prickling and naturally unfiltered. Glass or bottle? That's merely a matter of taste.
- Flens Dunkel
This is a dark treat with a finely hoppy, fresh and full taste, not least thanks to the malts that give it its dark but very mild character.
12 oz bottle $1.99 each
Be sure to come by THIS SATURDAY, 12-6, for a sampling of these unique beers!
