Kristin Mamrack -
Unlike Starkville''s ordinance which requires sidewalks in all new residential and commercial developments, Columbus'' Complete Streets ordinance -- requiring curbs, gutters and sidewalks in new developments -- has met with no opposition.
"It was my sense from the constituents it would be something to promote healthy living, where we could put bicycle lanes and walking lanes in new streets and new developments," said Ward 5 Councilman Kabir Karriem, who proposed the Complete Streets ordinance, which the city council voted to approve Aug. 17 and on which no negative feedback has been reported. "I haven''t heard anything (from residents or developers), but I thought it was a real good idea to promote healthy living.
"Columbus doesn''t have a lot of big streets we could use, but the streets that are big enough to put that stuff (like sidewalks) in, we need to do it," he continued. "People ride bikes here; people walk a lot. I think it''s a good thing. I think it''s something we need to pursue."
Columbus'' Complete Streets ordinance requires a 4-foot-wide paved shoulder be included with construction of all new roadways or with the resurfacing or reconstruction of a roadway, when roadway traffic is greater than 1,000 vehicles per day.
Additionally, the ordinance requires "bicycle and pedestrian ways" be established in new construction and reconstruction projects undertaken by the city.
Bikeways and walkways are not required when the cost of establishing the paths exceeds five percent of the total cost of the development or when "severe topographic, right-of-way or natural resource constraints" prohibit the installation of the sidewalks "without incurring excessive costs."
Exceptions also are provided when "there is very low population density and scarcity of residents or other factors indicating an absence of present and future need" in the development, according to the Columbus ordinance.
"(City Engineer) Kevin Stafford really went through the ordinance," Karriem said. "We want to promote development in Columbus, but we also need to try to look to promote a healthier community, as well. I think (the ordinance) is a win-win for the developer, as well as the city."
Columbus residents in neighborhoods without sidewalks were quick to express their desire for residential walkways, when polled Saturday, in their East Columbus neighborhoods.
"I wish we had them," said Nefertiti Patmon, who has lived off Emeralde Drive for four years. "We have a lot of kids in the street and it would be a good thing to have."
"The reason I think it would be good (to have sidewalks) is because the new kids moving in and out and the grown people are moving through the yards (now)," said Melissa Johnson, a resident of Deerfield Drive, noting it would be "worth it" to pay more for a home in an area with sidewalks. "A lot of kids tear up stuff. You could make them stay on the sidewalk and out of your yard. It would keep them out of the streets, too."
"They probably would be used by elderly who walk the street and if you had kids, I guess they could use them, which they probably wouldn''t anyway," laughed DeRon Terner, a resident of Ryan Place in East Columbus, noting sidewalks also would be used by "dog walkers."
The Columbus City Council will be asked to issue final approval on the city''s sidewalk ordinance during the Sept. 21 meeting of the council.
Starkville''s sidewalk ordinance, passed in 2009, recently has drawn controversy, with Golden Triangle Planning and Development District Executive Director Rudy Johnson threatening to pull the GTPDD out of Starkville over the ordinance.
A new 14,000-square-foot building for senior citizens is planned for construction just north of the GTPDD offices on Miley Drive, but the ordinance requires about a quarter of a mile of sidewalks be constructed along Miley Drive and C.C. Clark Road before the city would issue an occupancy permit for the new building.
Additionally, the ordinance has come under fire by local developers in Starkville who protest the aldermen''s unwillingness to grant variances of the ordinance.
The Board of Aldermen recently voted to zsend the ordinance back to a Starkville transportation committee for possible revisions.

I hadn't tried a mask in a really long time but this one definitely takes the cake for me. MudPot is an organic face and body mask harvested twice a year in Nevada's Black Rock Desert.
So here's why I really love it, I have sensitive skin so I worry about putting products on my face. MudPot is completely natural and full of minerals which helps restore skin and pH balance. After wearing the mask for a little over fifteen minutes I felt my skin feel extremely refreshed and hydrated.
What's even better is all the dryness on my face was eliminated, it was as if I hadn't been putting my skin through all of the harsh winter months. I even made my boyfriend try it and after getting it in his eye found it was non-irritating and very easy to remove. Word of advice spritz your face with water every five minutes to keep from drying.
This all natural solution is seriously the best kept beauty secret. What's even better the jar is recyclable and the box is plantable so you can look good and go green!

AereA is a music themed Action RPG in which the player explores Aezir, a floating island that was broken into pieces. To really tap into the music theme of the game, SOEDESCO cooperates with Broforce composer Deon van Heerden for the soundtrack. To add more music to the release, the boxed version of AereA includes the game's original soundtrack as a special edition. To celebrate the cooperation there's an all-new trailer introducing AereA's four heroes. Players get to play as Wolff the Harp-Archer, Jacques the Cello-Knight, Jules the Lute-Mage and Claude the Trumpet-Gunner. As disciples of Great Maestro Guido's it's their mission to find and return the nine primordial instruments to restore balance and peace in the world. Van Heerden composed a special soundtrack for this trailer.

For the first time in a long time, I can say I was largely bored by the Week 5 action. There simply were not many great games played this week. Perhaps a bit of the separation between teams is beginning. Perhaps conditioning on older teams is beginning to kick in. Are the fogeys starting to get their legs?
If nothing else, I'm fairly certain that you'll need garlic, silver, and a very, very, very long stake to kill the Packers this season. In fact, that might only kill off a few of them. Last year, they won with 38 guys and 15 "what's his names." This year, with 53 guys they're just pounding the living daylights out of game plans, and opponents and their smack talking fans.
The Lions aren't scared, but the Lions haven't played this team.
The Falcons had the Packers by the holes in their Swiss speedos…and they let 'em off the hook.
Cam Newton threw the worst pass of his career on Sunday. It so happens that it was his first pass of the game. And, it so happens that instead of winding up in the waiting hands of Steve Smith, it wound up in the hands of the New Orleans Saints. The pass was returned deep into the red zone and led to an opening touchdown. The Panthers played uphill for the rest of the day. By the time they mustered up the strength to take the lead late in the 4th quarter, the defense was running on fumes and gave up a decisive score. The Panthers dropped another close game, 30-27. The team seems to be getting close. Losses this season have been by 7, 7, 5 and 3 points respectively. Next up, a desperate Atlanta Falcons team.
We're going to find out a lot about the resiliency of these teams on Sunday. The Falcons are hosting and should win by 10-14 points, but the Panthers have exceeded expectations all season.
Do you want to play this team?
The Lions do. The Bucs didn't. If you had high expectations for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this season, it's probably time to put those on the shelf until 2011. The team has three marginally impressive wins (I'm being kind) over Minnesota (1-4), Atlanta (outdoors), and Indianapolis (sans Peyton Manning). The Bucs lost an eagerly anticipated matchup with the Lions in their home opener and this weekend, they laid the egg of all eggs. Last year, Tampa was strong enough to go West and return with a 21-0 win over the Niners. This year, the Bucs were forced to walk the plank in an embarrassing 48-3 rout.
In other news around the league:
- Quick Pass Roethlisberger passed for five touchdowns against the Tennessee Titans. Four different receivers caught touchdowns. Slow Pass Roethlisberger apparently missed the bus. Steelers 38, Titans 17. If he gets rid of the ball on time and uses all of his weapons, the Steelers will score lots of points for the rest of the season. Mike Tomlin's fake punt call opened the floodgates. Kudos to the coach with the cojones.
- The Giants figured out a way to do the unthinkable. Big Blue blew a chance to take tremendous strides in the division by losing a home conference game to the lowly Seattle Seahawks. While the Cowboys and Redskins watched at home, and the Eagles stuggled elsewhere in the state of New York, the Giants were busy finding inventive ways to put their guests in unique scoring positions. The Giants also hosted a Coming Out Party for Stanford's Doug Baldwin (8 rec, 136 yds, 1 td).
- The Andy Reid Reject Bowl took place between Arizona and Minnesota. There were no winners there, except for Donovan McNabb. Statistically, he did enough to keep the train on the track. Kevin Kolb was abysmal. Thankfully for Kolb, he is benefitting from a media white out that has yet to call for his head. Kolb may well be the NFL's leading affirmative traction candidate.
- Kolb, Part Deux. The national media may have already been instrumental in duping the Cardinals into believing he was worthy of his juicy contract. Kolb is not a proven winner and he faces a significant up hill climb. It's too bad he only has Larry Fitzgerald. I wouldn't be surprised if we start reading articles about how Larry has lost a step or doesn't know the playbook or gives up on plays or something — and if we do, they're sure to come from ESPN (Chris Mortensen — Week 9?)
- The Vikings need to get better at the QB and the WR position. McNabb's not a Back Foot Betty (Favre, Romo, Kolb, etc.), but he just throws too many balls in places that defy explanation. Berrian is fast but he has not used his speed wisely in tight spaces. He isn't getting separation and has demonstrated poor route running and pass catching over the first month of the season. He has to step his game up.
- One thing that struck me about the San Diego Chargers is that Philip Rivers has always been blessed with well-rounded backs. LT2, Darren Sproles and Michael Turner were not one-dimensional. LT and Sproles were excellent blockers. Turner has been known to throw a knock-out block or two as well. Tolbert is solid, but he's not as proficient as Turner across the board. Matthews is on the rise, but he has yet to arrive. The overall versatility of LT2, Sproles, and Turner gave the Chargers a much bigger matchup edge than they have now. The well has not run dry, but it is simply not as deep.
- Matt Cassel's ribs are healed. Four touchdowns and a close relationship with Dwayne Bowe and Steve Breaston mean big things for the Chiefs. Jamaal Charles isn't there, but Jackie Battle has stepped in and played well. The Chiefs look a little different this season, but they have some pieces and are still in the fight. Following historically bad losses to Detroit and Buffalo, the Chiefs have rebounded with wins over mediocre teams and are in position to challenge in the AFC West.
- The Chiefs and the Jets are both 2-3. The teams in the AFC West ahead of the Chiefs are Oakland and San Diego. The teams ahead of the Jets are New England and Buffalo. If the Chiefs are definitely out, so are the Jets. Right?
- The Jets. Ehh!!! The Jets. Losers on the road at New England. Losers on the road at Baltimore. Losers on the road at Oakland. There is a reason why this was called "The Make or Break Portion of the Schedule." Up next: Miami, San Diego, bye, @Buffalo, New England, @Tebow, Buffalo. And then there's that Week 15 game vs. the Eagles. It's early, but this team is going to be CHALLENGED to make the playoffs as a 3rd entry from the AFC East. Put simply, if the Jets get in, it will come at the expense of either the Steelers, Chargers, Raiders or Ravens. They've already lost to the Raiders and Ravens. It doesn't look good.
- I've got nothing on the Eagles.
- Quiet as it's kept, the Houston Texans dropped another game in which the performance of QB Matt Schaub was decisive. Last week, Arian Foster did the heavy lifting vs. the Steelers. Schaub has to prove he can get it done in big games. Next up: Rested Rapacious Ravens Relentlessly Ripping Ravaging and Rolling with Ray Rice.
- Congratulations to the Raiders for beating the Houston Texans 25-20. "Just Win, Baby!" Nicely done.
Week 6 is sure to provide more fireworks. Looking forward to the Lions-Niners, Cowboys-Patriots, Panthers-Dirty Birds, among others.

Alphacool is making great strides with the new NexXxoS GPX cooler! This new cooling concept offers optimal performance and quality at a reasonable price!
The GPU is actively cooled through ingenious new injection technology. All the other chips are sufficiently cooled through the passive cooler in which the GPU water cooler is enclosed.
Cross Slot Structure
The cross slot technology in the base plate, patented in 2004 and used in the Alphacool NexXxoS XP, has been developed further. The fins and channel structure have been refined. The remaining panes are 0.5 x 0.5mm in size and 2.5mm tall. This enables a very large and fast rate of heat transfer from the copper to the coolant.
SLI Operation
Through the outside-facing inlet and outlet, this cooler can be used in SLI configurations with little difficulty. This way, up to four graphics cards can be connected with the Alphacool GPX SLI Connector.
Every cooler now includes a backplate which uses little passive cooling fins to cool the graphics card again, as well as giving the graphics card a finished appearance and protecting it at the same time.
Cooling fins
Passive cooling happens through perfectly balanced, barely 18mm deep cooling fins, which completely cover the remaining parts of the graphics card. Light air circulation in the case means this cooler is in no way inferior to conventional coolers.
Graphics card not included
- KFA² GeForce GTX 1080 Hall Of Fame, 8GB GDDR5X, DVI, HDMI, 3x DisplayPort (80NSJ6DHL2SK/80NSJ6DHL2SH)
- Galax GeForce GTX 1080 Hall Of Fame 8GB GDDR5X (80NSJ6DHL2SN / 80NSJ6DHL2SH)
Scope of Delivery
- 1x Graphics card cooler
- 1x Backplate
- Thermal pads
- Thermal paste

Attention: The manufacturer Mayhems advises that Mayhems fluids, especially the Aurora line of products, have been manufactured and distributed solely for show and modding purposes. These should not be utilized in the system for more than 14 days.
We would also like to advise that Mayhems fluids can damage water cooling products, and using Mayhems fluids can thereby void the warranties offered by the following manufacturers: Koolance, Phobya, Alphacool, Aqua Computer, Watercool.

Hello everyone, I am so honoured that Leah has asked me to guest blog on Cook Kosher: I have been an avid follower here recently, and I'm very excited that not only do I get to share my passion for food photography with you, but voice it on one of the blogs I particularly enjoy reading.
I am a young blogger and photographer from Italy; my blog, Labna, is focused on both traditional Italian recipes and Jewish Sephardi food . I hope you'll visit, and come away with some new ideas and inspirations for your own culinary and photographic experiences.
Now, let's dip into the topic: here are my tips! Some might sound quite obvious to those of you who are already very much into food photography, but repetition is the mother of memory, so here we go.
Shoot outside, when possible, but preferably in a shady place: natural light improves all pictures, but direct sun light might be too harsh and create a lot of shadows in the picture.
If you can't shoot outside, as in my case, choose a place in your house with a balcony or a window and stick to that place; once you have chosen your place, try to shoot the same subject from different positions and in different times of the day, so you get to know the way natural light interacts with the object of your shoots.
When you are shooting in front of a window, consider placing simple, light, white curtains, which will definitely make the light coming from outside a lot softer.
Being the window your only source of light, it might be helpful to place food on a table in front of the window and a white foam board (easily found in DIY shops) right behind it, so the light coming from the window will be reflected from the board on the food.
A window with curtains and a white canvas is all you need to play with light: I'm pretty sure everyone can do it!
To make it easy for you to understand, here is a shot of my "studio", which happens to be situated in my bedroom.
Winter in my country tends to be very dark and good natural light is only available from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when everyone is probably working.
During winter I use two simple lamps for food photography, which I bought online, and the foam board I have already mentioned. If you are on a budget, you can build your own set of lamps for food photography following this tutorial.
Styling is also very important in food photography.
Feel free to experiment and develop your own taste, but keep in mind a few simple pieces of info.
Plan your styling and composition before starting to shoot and don't be afraid to experiment with details, possibly adding "levels" to your pic: a plate on top of another, a napkin casually laid on the table, some scattered cutlery, breadcrumbs... every detail contributes to bring the picture alive.
This leads me to the subject of props: props can also make a huge difference. If you can't afford buying a lot of stuff, ask your friends and relatives if you can borrow a couple of plates and glasses, or that lovely old pan... it will make a huge difference! By the way, given the chance, always prefer small stuff, like tiny plates and bowls, so your food will stand out.
Background texture is also very important: a light, white or cream tablecloth as a background will make your food look better, adding extra light to the shot. Generally speaking, choose background linen that has a nice feel, maybe a rough texture: this will make your background come alive and will add depth to your image.
What is more important, eventually: dare to step out of your comfort zone. Like to shoot on a plain white table? Try wood instead. Love that nice simple serviette you use in all of your shots? Buy a new, colorful one. Throw off the bowlines and sail away from the safe harbor, as Mark Twain once wrote: you'll be surprised of your own resources, learning to trust your eye and develop your personal, creative style.
I hate those photographers who won't reveal such details, so I'm telling you: I have a Canon EOS400 and I have a couple of different lenses, as I am keen on photography in general, but for food I use mostly my 50 mm 1:8, which is fine. The whole stuff is not super professional, it's like DSLR entry level, and is ok for my needs.
Whatever the camera, even if it's a compact one, learn how to use it properly. Study your camera instructions and practice, practice, practice, trying to work in manual mode instead of automatic. Lear the basics of photography, that is: ISO, aperture, exposure and shutter speed.
Here's what you need to learn, generally speaking, in a nice simple info graphic.
For food photography in particular, there's not much you need to know, except for these tricks.
· ISO: ISO in my camera is never, ever higher than 200, unless I'm doing restaurant shooting in a dark room, because a higher ISO equals a grainy, noisy picture.
· EXPOSURE: My pics tend to be overexposed of a couple of points (see the info graphic again), so the resulting image is brighter and needs less - if none - editing.
· SHUTTER SPEED: Learning how to choose your shutter speed might be interesting but it's pretty pointless, since we're doing still life photography.
· APERTURE: This is quite important and can change your pics a lot, but it's also quite easy. I'll explain it in a very unprofessional way so everyone will understand: a small aperture number (from 1.5 to 4, more or less) means little depth of field and only small details well focused; a bigger aperture number (from 4 to 10, approximately) means a lot of depth and everything sharp and clear.
As usual, practice makes perfect. Practice a lot, using one subject only and changing your settings until you feel comfortable with your camera.
So now, what are you waiting? Rush to your homemade "studio" and have an awesome time shooting!
Thank you so much for all these wonderful tips. It gave me great ideas and information which I will be using the next time I photograph the recipe/food. I am using a simple camera, a Canon PowerShot Elph 300 HS. Loved the idea of using a white board and the advice about the wood board-great!
As a photography enthusiast, I really appreciate these food photography tips. The photo of what the actual "studio" set should look like really helps. Can't wait to try these tips with my Canon EOS 40D. Thanks!

Blessed Be everyone!
Wow, have things been going on! Some really cool things and some very serious things…
I celebrated my 21st birthday with my beloved parents and Little Bro by going to the movies and seeing something I've wanted to see for months, "Rock of Ages" (yay)! I'm a huge fan of the Broadway performance and the movie didn't disappoint, although, the movie and the musical are two completely different things that I love for completely different reasons. The movie has a HEA ending while the musical ending is more realistic but still happy. Both are awesome in their own way.
Some might know that a couple of weeks ago was the Summer Solstice also known as Midsummer or Litha. And it's not just a Wiccan or Pagan holiday, its celebrated all over the world as the longest day of the year and as the half way point to the end of summer. It's the end of the Oak King's reign and the Holly King has taken his place, and the time has come to prepare for the upcoming harvest.
When Litha came, I wasn't in a very good spot. It was a mixture of things that I could write ten pages on, but let's just say it was multiple stresses from multiple areas of my life. I had a plan that I wanted to make Litha a big thing with my family and we'd go outside and have a bonfire with marshmallows and a small ritual and…everything fell though as sometimes it does. I was disappointed because I have been putting off all the sabbats and esbats because things would come up with my internship or me trying to muster up the creative energy to work on my creative writing that I hadn't touched since May which isn't going very well…
The sun was setting, and I was alone with my family doing their own thing.
I couldn't take it anymore. I walked outside, barefoot in my cupcake pjs, and knelt at the foot of the several years old willow-esque tree in the back yard where I like going for making offerings and doing rituals. I felt awkward and uncomfortable, not just because I was kneeling on some very hard dirt in my unpadded pajamas. I had only felt that way once before in the seventh grade when I had to talk with the school counselor after a poem I wrote about a grey cloud made my English teacher think I was depressed…don't ask.
I knelt in the quietness of Nature and I cried everything out of me, every frustration in my life, every angry thought that I had of me and how disappointed I felt with myself. After the crying, I still sat. And…I talked. I talked to the God and Goddess for what seemed like hours, but it was only a couple. I know my neighbors must have thought, "Oh, that neighbor's kid is just not right" but… I had never felt so connected to Spirit than in those moments. I felt a pressure release inside of me and a velvet comfort in my mind that seemed to say "I hear you. I understand. It'll get better".
My point of this is that life has its sucky moments where you feel mentally and emotionally shattered. It could be from the death of a beloved person in your life or from financial hardships or just from plain loneliness. But I think something that M. Flora Peterson said rings true, "Today in our fast paced lives, its challenging to find those 10-15 minutes a day where we can find our center, find our balance, and really feel that divine connection in our lives". For months I've been feeling that something was missing. That something wasn't right. I don't know if what I described could be called a 'spiritual awakening' or 'wakeup call' or something. But whatever I was…It was something that I really needed and maybe it's something that many people need.
So I want to assign some homework for anyone who wants to do it and it will only take 10 minutes…
Go someplace where you feel comfortable, preferably somewhere quiet. Close your eyes and empty your head of all the junk we accumulate in the average work week, boss is ticking you off, parents are breathing down your neck about something, the kids aren't listening to you. Just chuck that out the window for 10 minutes and let the silence speak to you. Because I have come to believe that silence can tell you a lot more than the noises we have to listen to on a daily basis.
Blessed be everyone and have a great July 4th!

10 Disgusting Beers You Should Never, Ever Try
When we decided to do a list of the 10 worst beers ever, we were kind of excited -- drinking on the job sounds like an awesome idea. Then we spent the next two days sampling every beer we've ever heard was kind of gross. You have to give us some credit for our serious and thorough approach to research -- we're committed. It stopped feeling like such a stellar idea when we woke up with massive hangovers in an Arby's bathroom, reeking of malt liquor and roast beef sandwiches. We collected our personal items, including the results of our painful research: a vomit-soaked list of the worst beers we have ever tasted. We left that Arby's bathroom ready to face the world. We also left because the Arby's manager threatening to call the police. For your consideration, here are 10 beers that we've tried and hated, so you never have to. Don't say we didn't warn you.

St. Ides High Gravity Malt Liquor Mint Flavor
Fun Fact: What do Tupac and The Notorious B.I.G have in common other than a well-publicized rivalry? They were both spokesmen for St. Ides High Gravity Malt Liquor. Why on earth would anyone want to consume a mint flavored malt liquor? We imagine it's for the low life who wants to get drunk then drive. Most times, though, it's the whole weaving through traffic thing that gets you a DUI, not your breath.

Champale is the malt liquor for stupid people who have dumb friends. The Champale website explains that Champale uses yeast that is traditionally used for wine fermentation giving it a similar flavor profile as champagne. Anybody who would buy a malt liquor because it uses the same yeast as champagne should come see us. We're selling a 1997 Hyundai Accent that uses the same anti-freeze as a Ferrari. It's basically a Ferrari.

Any beer that starts with a SCH
Schlitz, Schaefer and Schmidt's. All three of these beers are brewed by the Pabst Brewing Company, and they are all pretty similar to PBR. Each one of these beers was founded in the late 1800s and is marketed to trick hipsters into thinking that they are still made by a regional, family-owned beer company. Stupid hipsters, every one of these beers is owned by billionaire investor C. Dean Metropoulus. We went to a bar that had all three of these beers for $2 a can. we were excited; nothing gets us pumped like getting drunk on a budget. Each one of these beers had the same flavor profile, tastes like nothing when ice cold and immediately taste like the liquid that collects at the bottom of a recycling bin when it reaches one degree above ice cold. These beers taste like schit.

Game Day Beer
7/11 sells a ton of beer. One day some genius at their corporate office thought that if they made their own beer they could make more money and thus, Game Day Beer became a beautiful reality. We have to admit we bought into the idea of a cheap beer exclusive to our favorite convenience store with a sweet sport reference for a name. What we forgot is that this beer is produced from the same store chain that makes the worst chicken wings, taquitos, pizza and churros. Game Day Beer shares one quality with all the products just mentioned. It is always stale.

Budweiser & Clamato Chelada
Budweiser & Clamato Chelada is Anheuser Busch's attempt at mass marketing a Michelada. A Michelada is a hangover cure of Mexican origin -- a mixture of beer, spices, a mixer (hot sauce, Clamato, teriyaki, soy or Worcestershire sauce) and sometimes peppers. Anheuser Busch decided to get into the Mexican hangover cure game with Budweiser & Clamato Chelada. They start with Bud heavy, which is like drinking a brick, then add Clamato, spices and "natural lime flavor". The result? Clamato is disgusting. It is literally a mixture of the juice of a tomato and the juice of an animal. The only acceptable juices are orange and cranberry. End of discussion.

Mississippi Mud Black and Tan Beer
Mississippi Mud Black and Tan beer is off-putting from first sight. First off, the container looks like a jug used in the percussion section of an Appalachian jam band. The name of this beer is Mississippi Mud, which leads us to believe that the makers of this beer want you to equate their beer with swamp mud. Smart! A traditional black and tan is all about presentation; a black and tan is made when one takes a pint glass and fills it halfway with either a pale lager or ale then one slowly pours a stout or porter over an upside down spoon, separating the two beers making for an impressive presentation. Mississippi Mud Black and Tan takes all the pageantry out of the a traditional black and tan by ignoring the process and just throwing a porter and lager into the same container and calling it a black and tan. Uncool.

We like the routine of going to a bar, ordering a shot of tequila, licking the salt, taking the shot, biting into a lime and finishing with a refreshing swig of beer. Tequiza was Anheuser Busch's attempt at consolidating that glorious routine into one step. The step turns out to be drinking a beer infused with non-alcoholic rail tequila flavoring and artificial lime juice. Some things just need more than one step.

Drinking Zima conjures memories of the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand. For those of you who aren't history buffs, the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand lead to Austria-Hungry declaring war on Serbia, which consequently led to World War I. Zima lead to the production of Smirnoff Ice, Smirnoff Ice led to the 'bros icing bros' phenomenon, which can lead to being "iced" six times in two hours (this really happened to one of us.) World War I and being "iced" may sound different to you, but war is hell, and so are chalk-white, highly carbonated malt beverages. Also, Zima tasted like a five-year-old ground up Smarties and dumped them into a can of Sprite.

Anheuser World Select
The large American breweries are masters of marketing; they weigh the marketing implications of every decision they make. This is what makes them so successful. It is also the reason why they create some of the most questionable beers ever to hit the market. Instead of trying to develop a new great tasting beer like nothing else on the market, the large breweries want to grab existing market share. Anheuser World Select was Anheuser Busch attempt to grab some market share from Heineken. That's right, Anheuser Busch knowingly brewed a beer that taste like Heineken, a beer that tastes like licking a brass pipe covered in skunked beer.

Guinness Black Lager
Guinness Draught is a lot like the first trilogy of the Star Wars franchise. There was nothing out there in the beer world quite like it. It has a devoted fan base that will fight you to the death if you argue that anything is better than their Guinness Draught. The Guinness Brewery then decided to come out with Guinness Black Lager, the Phantom Menace of the Guinness Brewery. Both Phantom Menace and Guinness Black Lager resemble the original but really just leave you yearning for the classic.

Dmitry Kostyukov / The News York Times via Redux
Anzor Tsarnaev, left, and Zubeidat Tsarnaev, the parents of the two suspects in the Boston bombing, during a news conference in Makhachkala, Russia, April 25, 2013.
The mother of Boston Marathon bombing suspects Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was placed in a U.S. terror database in the fall of 2011, a counterterrorism official confirmed to NBC News.
Zubeidat Tsarnaeva was placed on the database by the Central Intelligence Agency at the same time as her older son Tamerlan, who was shot and killed by police in the manhunt following the bombings. That Tsarnaeva was placed on the database does not mean the CIA had any specific information that she might be a threat, the official said.
A review of government records found that Tamerlan Tsarnaev was entered into three classified counterterrorism databases, according to public statements by government officials and NBC News sources. He was entered into a Guardian file maintained by the FBI, as well as Homeland Security's TECS database and a master TIDE list maintained by the National Counterterrorism Center.
The entries for Tamerlan Tsarnaev used some different spellings and dates of birth, a U.S. official brief on the probe said.
An email alert was sent to a Homeland Security officer in the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force office in Boston when Tamerlan Tsarnaev traveled to Russia in January 2012, sources have told NBC News, but that spurred no further investigation.
The suspected bombers' mother has said in interviews that the FBI was watching her son.
"They were monitoring him and I know that because I used to talk to them," Tsarnaeva told NBC News' U.K. partner ITN News. "They used to come to our house, like two, three times. And then my son Tamerlan used to tell me that he used to talk to them, too, because they called me once and they wanted his number."
Tsarnaeva said that she began to practice a "pure" form of Islam while living in the United States about four years ago. She moved to the southern Russian republic of Dagestan about a year ago with the suspects' father.
On Saturday, a senior law enforcement official told NBC News that investigators are downplaying any connection between a man known as "Misha" and the bombing investigation. Relatives of the suspects earlier this week suggested the man may have helped lead Tamerlan Tsarnaev to radicalism.

What makes ski mountaineer and trail runner Kilian Jornet tick? It's not winning races or setting speed records, although he does excel at both. For him, it's all about the mountains.
"I am just a person who loves the mountains. I spend every day in the mountains," says Kilian, "I love them because the landscape is amazing and full of challenges but I think the mountains gives a lot back. When you are in the mountains, you feel that you are nothing. When you have nothing you have everything to discover."
That passion stems from his childhood – Kilian grew up in a mountain hut in the Spanish Pyrenees where his father worked as a hut keeper and mountain guide. From a young age, Kilian was living and breathing mountain life. "The first time I walked for five hours alone in the mountains I was two years old!" says Kilian. He went on to climb his first 3,000er aged three. "I have conditioned my body to long distances from an early age!" he says.
It clearly paid off. These days Kilian is known for dominating not one, but two mountain sports; ski mountaineering in winter and trail running in summer. As a trail runner he's proved himself to be one of the world's best – dominating ultras and setting a slew of records from the Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc to the Hardrock 100 and dozens of races
In 2012 Athletics Weekly argued that he was the 'world's best runner' and he has one of the highest Vo2 levels recorded of an athlete (85-90).
When the snow comes Kilian switches over to ski mountaineering where he has been world champion four years out of five since 2010. "Ski mountaineering is hard because you want to go fast. You have to push, you have to power through every step," says Kilian.
But again, it's the lure of the mountains that ultimately win Kilian over, not the battle of competition: "Sometimes it's in the forest, sometimes in couloirs. You can go wherever you want. You don't have to follow a trail. You make your own track. It's this feeling of freedom you get from ski mountaineering."
Yet Kilian is more than a record-breaking trail runner, a world champion ski mountaineer. With his Summits of My Life Project, in which he has set speed ascents on the Matterhorn, Mt Blanc and Denali among others, he has redefined what it means to be a mountain athlete, moving into territory once the preserve of elite alpinists.
What beckons next for the athlete is never certain, but one thing is for sure – it will take place somewhere in the mountains. "The day I stop winning I'll continue to go the mountains," says Kilian, "I don't run for victory. I don't practice sport for competition. The reason I ski or run every day is to be in the mountains."

The Lindenwood University Board of Directors today authorized the administration to begin the application process for NCAA Division II membership.
Board Chairman Jim J. Shoemake said Lindenwood, which currently competes in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), would submit its NCAA application by June 1.
"Lindenwood has made great advancement in recent years and has experienced tremendous growth in academics, enrollment, and facilities," said President James D. Evans. "While the NAIA is a quality organization and Lindenwood has been a proud member for nearly 40 years, we feel that NCAA Division II is the best fit for our institution in the future."
Athletic Director John Creer said Lindenwood should know by July 1 whether it will be accepted into NCAA candidacy. For two years, Lindenwood would remain a member of the NAIA and Heart of America Athletic Conference. In 2012-2013, the school would be a provisional member of the NCAA. The fourth year, 2013-2014, the NCAA would vote to make Lindenwood an active member.
A committee made up of Lindenwood administrators, coaches, faculty, staff, and alumni began studying a move to NCAA Division II last summer and recommended the switch.
The Lindenwood University athletics department is currently one of the largest in the country, sponsoring 46 programs and giving collegiate athletic opportunities to approximately 1,500 student-athletes. Lindenwood has won 35 national championships since 2002, and regularly finishes among the top NAIA programs in the NACDA Directors' Cup standings, which judges athletics departments for the overall success of their program.

Are Stephenville residents seeing more UFO activity in the area once again?
Posted by dandare on October 25, 2008
I have just seen this article on WFAA " Stephenville residents report more UFO sightings " which includes a video report.
" Over a three-month period this summer there were 1,000 UFO sightings filed with the National UFO Reporting Center.
Some 75 of those UFOs were reported over the state of Texas.
Stephenville is one hot spot we've shown you before.
Now the small town is getting buzzed by UFOs again and we have the video " (extract from article).
Also at stephenvilleufos.com " more lights spotted in stephenville skies " (posted 24th october, 2008.
If anything signifigant develops, i will post it on here.
A you tube video can be seen below:
The Stephenville Empire-Tribune has a post on this (dated october 24th 2008 ) "More lights spotted in Stephenville skies " I have added the post below :
" Dozens of Stephenville and Erath County residents have reported unidentified lights in the Texas sky this week.
Recent accounts started coming in Tuesday, Oct. 21. More sitings were reported Wednesday night and a stadium full of parents watching a Junior High Football game spotted more strange lights Thursday night.
Many witnesses reported seeing the lights and then watched jets chase after them. Local residents made headlines nine months ago after reporting unidentified flying objects in the southeastern county skies". Lets hope the reporter does not lose her job as well, if anything more comes of this.
UPDATE (27th October 2008 )
I missed this article written by the Stephenville Empire-Tribune (posted on 26th october, 2008 )
Here is the full article, and the only new information i can find about recent events; again i do not usually take the whole article and show it here, but i think it is needed as alot of activity seems to be going on again, and i cannot easily summarise it… so here it is. " They're back "
" Dozens of Stephenville and Erath County residents reported seeing unidentified lights in the Texas sky last week.
Accounts started trickling in on Tuesday. But on Friday, they poured in, with dozens of people claiming to see unexplainable lights across the area Thursday night.
Erath County Sheriff Tommy Bryant said dispatch received multiple calls from people claiming to see bright lights in the southern part of the county Thursday. Callers reported that the lights would flash and disappear, then reappear a short time later.Charlie Carrasco, who lives in Stephenville, said he saw two fighter jets flying low to the ground around 8:30 p.m. Thursday, chasing flashes of light in the air.
Ashleigh Cole was also working with her horses around 8:40 p.m. when she turned her attention to the night sky.
"It seemed like it was really close," Cole said. "I've never believed anybody when they say they saw a UFO, but I saw one myself."
She said there were three lights in a row that would move straight up in the sky and at an angle.
She was about 10 miles south of Dublin and thought the lights were flashing and moving around for about five minutes.
Darlene Ross, who lives south of Ranger, noticed two orange lights in the sky about 8:45 p.m. Thursday. The two lights turned into four lights in a straight line, one stacked on top of the other.
"It was just the weirdest thing I ever saw in my entire life," Ross said. "It was acting weird and it was scary."
Nick Horn caught part of what he saw Thursday night on video.
He was at his house west of Stephenville talking on his phone outside. He saw on orange light above the house and went inside to get his family.
He said jets were flying across the sky coming out of nowhere. He grabbed his video camera and caught about 20 seconds of lights flashing across the sky.
Nick's four-year-old brother Matthew was so excited that he tripped over a rock and bumped his head on the sidewalk.
Juli Gibson was riding her horse in the southwestern part of the county around 8 p.m. when she noticed the lights.
She said there were four white lights flashing on and off.
"It's like they were talking to each other," Gibson said. "It was just weird."
The flashing lights spooked even her horses.
Stephenville resident John Darby and his daughter were driving on Highway 67 near the Seldon cutoff when they saw the lights around 8:30 p.m. Thursday.
"At first I thought it was my lights reflecting off the power lines," Darby said.
But he quickly realized it was something more than a reflection.
The lights started out small and orange. They grew larger and began to display different colors in a beachball-like pattern. Then they disappeared.
His daughter jumped out of the vehicle trying to take a picture with her cell phone. The lights reappeared in the sky when she came back to the truck.
Darby said there were about nine jets traveling at a high rate of speed and headed for the Metroplex.
He is convinced they were not passenger airplanes.
"If it were my speculation, they were doing maneuvers with some kind of tracers," Darby said.
Monica Diaz was driving on the Northwest Loop near the high school in Stephenville around 8:15 p.m. on Thursday when she saw the lights.
"It looked like a row of stadium lights," Diaz said.
The four lights would turn on and off individually, but they would move as a group. The show only lasted about 30 seconds.
She pulled over and watched the sky but she never saw or heard anything else.
"It was very odd," Diaz said. "I don't believe it was aliens but it was definitely something different."
Diaz said the lights were white and round and didn't resemble anything close to an airplane.
D'Ann Wheeler is a Hico resident and a skeptic.
"I never had a personal experience until last night (Thursday)," Wheeler said.
She and a friend, who confirmed Wheeler's story but did not want to be identified, were stargazing around 9 p.m. when they noticed a lot of activity in the sky.
"There were jets all around them (the lights) but you couldn't hear the jets," Wheeler said.
She saw two sets of lights that she described as a string of pearls. Then the lights just disappeared.
"I have never in my life seen anything like this before. I went in the house and shook my head and thought, what did I just see?" Wheeler said. "The lights disappeared and then came back on a second time. They stayed on for about a minute."
The lights were large and white, and moved up and down with the jets close behind.
"I know they were big and far apart, but I couldn't tell how big or far apart," she said.
Wheeler said the sight unnerved her the rest of the night and she had a hard time sleeping. She even went back out around midnight to check the sky, but she didn't see anything.
Ashley Ainsworth was driving on Highway 377 near Tractor Supply Company around 8:30 Thursday night when she and several other cars pulled over to watch the lights dancing through the sky.
She counted six yellow lights on the horizon that moved in a circular motion. They disappeared completely but started blinking on and off.
"I'm not into that alien thing, but it's kind of weird," Ainsworth said.
She reported her sighting to Mutual UFO Network (MUFON).
"I saw four, five, six jets, then bam, hit my head," Matthew said.
Unlike other witnesses, Nick said he got a good look at the lights above his house. It appeared to be a metal object hovering about 400 feet in the air.
He said it moved away from the house and disappeared before reappearing closer to Dublin.
Steve Hudgeons, MUFON Chief Investigator in Texas, said he received reports of three sightings near Stephenville on Thursday. At press time, he had not yet interviewed the witnesses.
At least one witness came forward to say she saw lights in the Stephenville skies on Tuesday night.
Sherry Sechrist was outside of her house in town when she and her family noticed the lights around 8:30 p.m.
She snapped a few pictures on her cell phone and her mom even caught video footage on her phone.
Sechrist said the lights would flash and move up and down and side to side. She could hear jets buzzing around the lights, but doesn't think the jets produced the lights.
"I'd like to know what goes in reverse," Sechrist said. "The lights would fly over and then they would stay still."
United States Air Force Reserve Major Karl Lewis, public affairs officer at Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base in Fort Worth, responded to the numerous sightings.
"Seven F-16s from the 457th fighter squadron flew from Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth to the Brownwood Military Operation Area (MOA) for normal training operations, Thursday, 23 October 2008, from approximately 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. local time," Lewis stated in an e-mail.
Similar sightings made national headlines 10 months ago after reporting unidentified flying objects in the southeastern county skies " (extract from article).
UPDATE (30th october 2008 ):
First coast news has " UFO caught on camera " (+ video )
" AUSTIN, TX — Two men believe they saw a UFO flying over Austin in October.
They said they have the videotape to prove it.
Carl Lancaster and Doug McCullough were both outside their apartments on Oct. 8 around 9 p.m. when they both saw three bright lights. Lancaster said he saw a red light and two white lights that flew in a zigzag pattern across the sky " (extract from article).
WFAA.com has (28th october,2008 ) " UFO group probes light mystery in Erath, Comanche " (also with video).
" An investigator with the Mutual UFO Network has traveled to Erath County to talk to dozens of people who all reported seeing unusual lights in the sky last week" (extract from article).
Star-Telegram.com (30th october 2008 ) " New UFO sightings investigated in Erath County "
" Most of the descriptions are of an oval shape with lights around the outside, said Alejandro Rojas with the Mutual UFO Network, a nationwide organization created in 1969 to scientifically study UFO sightings. A MUFON investigator is interviewing witnesses, and the group has already sent requests for radar data from the F-16s " (extract from article).

The Mystery Wranglers become suspicious of all pilots, suspecting them to be aliens, so they set out to interview them all – one by one.
October 31, 2008 at 1:24 am
Stephenville has had three more UFO sightings. All three were yesterday. One has a video.

Took at least twice as long as stated on a much higher heat, the sausages didn't taste of the extra flavourings (and they were good quality sausages which I have had before), there was no stickiness and little flavour. The juices in the bottom were watery. No idea why this didn't work for me.
12th Jun, 2015
A really yummy and tasty dish, surprisingly so. I did fry off the sausages before I put them in with all the other ingredients, so that they looked a bit more roasted, also, the 1st time I cooked this dish I omitted the tomatoes and I do think it tastes all the more richer for not adding them. Served this with waitrose ready made garlic mash and garlic wilted spinach. A keeper :)

A Scotsman phones a dentist to inquire about the cost for a tooth extraction.
"£85 for an extraction, sir" the dentist replied.
"£85!!! Hiv ye no' got anythin' cheaper?.
"That's the normal charge," said the dentist.
"Fit aboot if ye didnae use any anaesthetic?"
"That's unusual, sir, but I could do it and knock £15 off.."
"Fit aboot if ye used one of your dentist trainees and still without an anaesthetic?"
"I can't guarantee their professionalism and it'll be painful. But the price could drop to £40"
"How aboot if ye make it a trainin' session, hiv yer student do the extraction, with the other students watchin' and learnin'?"
It'll be good for the students", mulled the dentist. "I'll charge you £5, but it's going to be very traumatic."
"Och, now yer talkin' laddie! It's a deal," said the Scotsman." "Can ye confirm an appointment for the wife next Tuesday then?"
