A man with a U.S. census badge knocked on Amy Schmalbach's door on May 4. Thinking that answering the door to a government worker was a safe bet, she did. And then she wondered why he looked so familiar.
As soon as the man left her Pennsauken home, Schmalbach realized where she had seen him before: on the state's sex-offender registry.
"I figured this is a government worker, I'm safe," Schmalbach, 33, told the Inquirer. She had given him names and birthdates of her family to the man who called himself "Jamie."
The man's real name is Frank J. Kuni, but goes by many aliases, including Jamie Shepard. It was under the name "Jamie Shepard" that he applied for a door-to-door job with the census bureau.
Schmalbach verified on the sex-offender registry that the man who was knocking on doors in her neighborhood was indeed the 47-year-old Kuni who has been convicted of assaulting an underage girl, and having "inappropriate contact with two other victims," according to the registry.
Then Schmalbach called police and warned her neighbors.
"If I had not recognized who this person was, none of my neighbors would have, and I believe he would have continued to go door to door," Schmalbach told the Inquirer.
Kuni was arrested Monday on charges of false representation and impersonating a public official, according to police.
A census official told the Inquirer that a "Jamie Shepard" had been hired in late April after passing the name check, but was fired May 5, as he failed the fingerprint check.

BlogOz Blogknot – Blogging Research
1 October 2007 8 Comments
The first breakout session I attended at blogoz had the intricate title 'Researching Blogging and Blogging Research'. The three panelists were Axel Bruns, Jean Burgess, and Melissa Gregg. All are experienced bloggers in an academic context.
There was much discussion about the place of blogging as an essential tool in graduate student and postdoctoral life and everyday activity. While there was some element of elitism in the early days a blog helps break the isolation of an academic researcher, helps publicise thoughts to a wider audience and provides a space for dialogue. A blog is now a necessary tool for PhD students to develop their research. the blog posts also become a valuable information repository for paper and thesis publication and the blog structure becomes an information management tool.
An amusing hint urges graduate students to make sure to mention famous scholars in their blogs. The widespread blog searching tools inevitably bring such posts to the famous scholars' attention and they are often encouraged to reply via the comments on the original posts. Another property of blogs is that you can be sitting on the bus next to a reader of your blog without ever knowing!
Another spectre raised concerns treating blog posts, that presumably met some minimum standard, as academic publications. The pressures of the Research Quality Framework might force this thinking. I personally support this concept as blog posts crafted to the same standards of scholarship as paper publications might very well form valuable micropublications. A viable archiving and referencing mechanism would also be needed for the blog-post-as-micropublication to work.
Axel also led us on a multi-faceted discussion about how blog connectivity might be measured and how the impact of this connectivity might be observed. He showed us the graphical output of some proximity analyses of political blogs with Andrew Barlett's blog appearing prominently. Other tools to be mentioned were Textmap, Leximancer and the work of the Association of Computational Linguistics. We were teased by hints of a soon to be announced tool from local Gold Coast stealth company distIP housed in inQbator in Varsity Lakes. distIP is using some of the IP from the DSTC which is now closed down.
I raised the research I am doing with using undergraduate blogging for teaching and learning. While the blogging skill was thought to be essential for all students there was some reservation about 'forcing' them to blog.
At the end of the session I was left with the impression that several of the academic bloggers lamented the good old days when fewer blogs existed and small, highly specialised groups of bloggers were the norm. It is clear that most postgraduate students should now be blogging as a matter of course.

Conditions for Arming Pilots
Some stipulations the Bush administration attached to its support for arming commercial pilots:
_A test program must be undertaken to establish the viability of arming all 85,000 commercial pilots.
_Only pilots who volunteer to carry guns would do so, and they must undergo firearms training and safety instruction.
_Protocols should be established to coordinate pilot responsibilities with those of armed air marshals and other law enforcement officials who travel with guns.
_Pilots should be issued individual lock boxes that would be used to transport weapons to and from aircraft.
_Cockpits would have to be redesigned to accommodate special sleeves to hold guns.
_Studies must be undertaken to determine how to comply with state, local and foreign gun laws, as well as to determine liability issues involving use of the weapons.
_Congress would need to come up with more money, which the administration estimates would cost $900 million to start and $250 million annually to maintain. The Transportation Security Administration does not have money in its budget to cover the expense.

Saturday Night Recap: Antuanne Russell Makes History At National Golden Gloves; Nelson Retains WIBA Title With Second-Round TKO; Harrison Scores Fourth-Round TKO in West Virginia!
Let's start in Las Vegas where Gary Antuanne Russell made history tonight by winning the National Golden Gloves 141-pound title with a victory over Jarod Ennis of Pennsylvania. Russell now joins his brothers Gary, Allan and Antonio as the fourth member of the family to win a national Golden Gloves title. No family has ever accomplished this.
This is the ninth national Golden Gloves title a Beltway Boxer has won in the last five years.
Antonio Russell's bid to become just the third boxer in Beltway history to win two national titles fell short as he lost to Ruben Villa of California at 123 pounds. Reports are that Antonio Russell injured his shoulder during the tournament.
The Washington, DC Region team took the second-place trophy at the event. First place went to the Colorado-New Mexico region led by Fort Washington, MD native Marquis Moore who won his second straight national title at 165 pounds. Moore is in the Army stationed at Fort Carson, CO.
Meanwhile, at the Ernst Center at Northern Virginia Community College in Annandale, VA, Tori "Sho Nuff" Nelson successfully defended her WIBA Welterweight championship with a second-round TKO over former world champion Mia "The Knockout" St. John.
Nelson was truly the aggressor throughout the contest, landing her left hand repeatedly. Early in the second round, Nelson landed a crushing left hand that sent St. John on wobbly legs. The bout was stopped at the 42-second mark of the second round when referee Steve Smoger deemed St. John unfit to continue.
Nelson scores her first professional knockout and remains undefeated at 9-0-3, one KO. St. John falls to 47-14-2, 18 KO's.
We will recap the rest of the card later today here. However, Pro Am Fight Talk does have complete results.
Also, Dusty Hernandez Harrison scored a fourth-round TKO over Roberto Valenzuela in Chester, WVA. Harrison is now 22-0, 12 KO's. Harrison dropped Valenzuela in the third and fourth rounds before the bout was stopped.
We hope to have some results from the amateur shows at Club One in Millersville, MD and the Belfast-Beltway Boxing Classic later today as well.

Injury to his shoulder?? Get outta here with that crap. The young boy from Cali is the truth and beat him. Stop making excuses like them Russell always do when they lose. Shit.. they even make them when they win too..LLS
- Tuesday, May 20, 2014
Their are so many haters toward The Russell Family and their success and accomplishment in boxing. Yes, Antonio did hurt his shoulder in the tournament,but still made it to the final. Antonio really won the fight for he carry the entire fight and was the one landing the most punches.(watch the fight on youtube under Gary A. Russell vs Ruben Villa) The Cali kid Ruben Villa only fought in spots having his best rd the 2nd half of rd three.The standing 8 count was BS because the left hand ruben threw didn't land clean. If this bout would have been a Pro fight Antonio would've won easily. So quick been a hater in give this family the credit they deserve. The Russell are some well train boxer who truly know how to fight in win. In fact Antonio and Antuanne was the only two boxers who made it to the final from the DMV Team that was sent from DC...
- Saturday, May 24, 2014
Ruben beat Russell and ruben had just turned 17 year 3 week before the nationals!!! He started the tournament 16 years, ruben took Russell apart,you probably can notice how he had Russell all bloody from the nose !!!!
- Wednesday, May 28, 2014
I just watched the russell vs. villa fight and from what I saw russell clearly out worked that kid. That villa kid fought in spurts while Russell worked for 3 minutes each round. That 8 count was ridiculous.
- Saturday, May 31, 2014
I agree with you Antman but I wouldn't waste my time debating with these Russell Haters on here. Most of the haters are from this area and the same color. I'm biracial and it sickens me to see how my other half are so against each other.
- Saturday, May 31, 2014
I'm glad that people can see with their on eyes on youtube that Antonio Russell was truly robbed at National..The fight is on youtube under (Gary A, Russell vs Ruben Villa)in judge for yourself. Don't have to listen too what all these "Hates" is saying who's so jealious of the success and accomplishments of this outstanding boxing family. WhEN YOU ON A HOLD OTHER LEVEL IN BOXING..You're going to have those who's against you no matter what!!! The things that is so great they can't stop the Destiny that God have for this well school and humble family....

According to CNN, five people were killed in a fatal car crash in Sydney, Australia. The driver drove over pedestrians on a busy street, and two men, a woman, a 10-year old girl, and a 3-month-old baby were caught in the crossfire.
It has been reported that the 3-month-old baby tragically died later that evening in the hospital. Altogether, at least twenty people were injured, and the authorities were able to shoot and wound the suspect before putting him into custody.
At first, the suspect got into an argument with some acquaintances several blocks away and eventually stabbed and kidnapped a woman. A witness told Sky News that there were "bodies flying everywhere".
Six people are in "a critical, but stable condition" and ten other people are being treated. On top of that, four children were very badly injured, and a baby tragically died.

Hi Folks,
As I'm unable to add to an existing Forum posting on the subject, I'm seeing if adding a new posting works.
Has anyone been able to visit the "http://www.r-labs.org/projects/issue-template/wiki/About_en" website? I've tried several times and each time the browser says the site is not available.
I'm trying to see if there is a plugin that allows you to edit the layout of a TRACKER and in particular add "comment fields" to add completion.
I know that for Custom fields, it is possible to display the "description text" that was added when creating the custom field (by moving the courser over the field name on a Tracker), but this is not possible for the standard fields that come with RedMine.

The day after Halloween, our friend Miranda (also a fairly recent transplant from New Hampshire) turned 3! The kids were very excited to attend her party. But first we had some errands to which to attend. The car needed an oil change so we dropped it off and wandered around the pet store talking about the various animals, habitats, food, toys, training, maintenance, etc.- you know, pet store talk. As we were leaving the pet store, the local humane societies were pulling up to drop off their pooches available for adoption. They spend the day with volunteers outside the pet store in hopes that someone will take them home and they won't have to make the trip back to the shelter at the end of the day. We stood for a long while watching the preparation process and the unloading of the dogs. An extensive discussion about responsible pet ownership ensued.
After picking up some protein smoothies, we retrieved the newly oiled car, and went to get Daddy to go to Miranda's!
Elijah and Miranda have party blower duels.
The kids were in heaven. They decorated crowns and wands and their own cupcakes!
Considerable time was also spent decorating Miranda's patio with chalk drawings. Spectacular party, Miranda! Thanks for having us!

South Lakes Windows Ltd are proud to announce that they are now accredited members of the DGCOS (Double Glazing & Conservatory Ombudsman Scheme). In order to be accepted into the scheme we have had to be assessed in key areas such as Customer Satisfaction, Quality of Workmanship, Company Ethics, Service and Aftersales, and we passed every level required with flying colours.
As a FENSA certified company there is a requirement to give the customer an insurance backed guarantee, however we have noticed that many of these guarantees are not worth the paper they are written on. The DGCOS on the other hand gives all of our customers complete peace of mind as they qualify for Deposit Protection Insurance, Work in Progress Insurance, an additonal 10 year guarantee that mirrors the South Lakes Windows Ltd guarantee (of which we cover all frames, colour, glass and moving parts), FREE access to independent inspectors and, if necessary, the Ombudsman and access to the Ombudsman Compensation Fund to honour any awards made by the Ombudsman.
The DGCOS is the only scheme to give you this advanced level of protection and confidence. All of its members have had to go through a lengthy accreditation process and ensures that they are at the top of their industry. We feel that our customers deserve this level of protection and this undoubtedly instills even more confidence in our company.

Ron Pope
Fifteen years and seven studio albums into a career hovering at the edges of the music business, fighting for a seat at the table, Ron Pope is now in the midst of flipping that table over. It took a decade to become an overnight success. Hundreds of millions of streams, millions of singles sold, concerts packed out into the street all over the world; all of a sudden Ron Pope is part of the discussion. "At the very least, now I don't really have to give a shit what anyone in the business expects from me. That's pretty liberating. It's like 'Everyone's making music that sounds like such and such this year' and I can say 'Cool. I don't give a fuck; my fans just want me to do something good and they'll stick with me as long as what I record is real and honest and full of songs that are worth listening to. So I'm just gonna keep doing what I do.' That's the freedom that holding onto my independence for so long and finding real success has bought me" Pope says from the East Nashville office of Brooklyn Basement Records, the label he runs alongside his wife and manager, Blair Clark.
For his newest album "Work," Pope once again co-produced with Grammy Award winner Ted Young (The Rolling Stones, Grace Potter, Sonic Youth). The duo decided to record in Nashville at Welcome to 1979, an analog-centric studio. For Pope, this album marked his first recorded to tape. "It forced us to make choices. Digital recording allows you to do a limitless amount of takes. In the past, we could do five or ten takes of everything and pick and choose, but on this record, if we wanted to record another take of something, we often had to erase what was already there. Those decisions influenced us to play like we meant it on every take. Our friend Charles Ray, who's my favorite trumpet player, came in to help on the record and what you hear on 'Dancing Days' is his first take, no editing, no fixing, no reconsidering. That's just what he played and we all just yelled 'Next' and moved on! The spontaneity and looseness flavored this album in a way that feels really exciting and new to me."
"On some of these songs, you can hear Nashville. On others, we're walking down the street in New Orleans giving away beers to strangers, or I'm down on the Florida panhandle at 19 arguing with a frat boy when my blood ran a little hotter than it does now, or I'm back home in Georgia playing the bars I grew up in or singing quiet songs in my bedroom, looking back and looking forward; you find us a lot of places on this record."
The concept for this album came into existence one afternoon in Texas. "The boys and I were playing a daytime party in Austin, packed into the corner of this little bar on the east side of the city. Everybody was on top of each other, sweating through our boots, amps turned up, day-drunk. The horn players were almost touching the drummer; the stage was so small that the guitar players and the keys were on the floor. We only played for about an hour, but we murdered that gig! I was playing guitar solos on my tiptoes, dancing with the people who were standing in front of me; they were sweating on us, we were sweating on them, it was madness! It felt like when I was back playing the bars as a kid. The only difference was, we were just playing my songs (and people actually wanted to hear them). I wondered what it would be like to make a record that was driven primarily by those kind of songs, tunes that your favorite bar band could play, that felt new but somehow also familiar. And that's what this new record 'Work' is all about."
"All of the best characters from my own life pop up on this record; girls who burned me down and threw the ashes out the window as they drove away, the 7th grade teacher who told my mother that I'd end up in prison, my father who usually speaks in parables like the Bible, Grandpa who's taught me a lot about how to grab life by the throat, different versions of me, both from today and as a much younger, more dangerous version of myself, my stupid friends of course, my brother who keeps me honest…the gang's all here. Some of it is serious, some of it is playful, but all of it is honest. Whether I'm screaming over booming Memphis flavored horns or whispering an acoustic love song, I'm just trying to tell you who I am and what's on my mind without any bullshit."
"We ended up using a bunch of the rough mixes that I put together in the studio; they just captured the vibe right and I didn't want to over-mix and ruin it. Sometimes 'better' is the enemy of 'good' or whatever that expression says," Ted Young commented.
"Paul Hammer and I sat down to write but we'd gotten as drunk as two shithouse rats the night before and were the worst versions of ourselves that morning. He looked like he might cry or fall asleep at any moment and I could barely sit upright. We started talking about how we can't really drink like we used to, but we're not ready to hang up our dancing shoes just yet and before you know it, 'Dancing Days' was born. There's lots of little snapshots like that, from different moments in my life all over this record. Like the song says, I'm just gonna keep on dancin'. I'm dying to put these songs on wheels and get out on the road to work up a sweat with the fans every night."
Ages and Ages
Ages and Ages is more than a band. It's a collective of like-minded souls that believe in the power of music to change the world and elevate the spirit. Their music is bright and uplifting, with lyrics, penned by bandleader Tim Perry, that deliver serious introspective messages full of insight and consideration for others.
"When we made this album, we wanted a word to describe how we felt and what we were going through as individuals and a band," Perry says, "so we made one up. 'Divisionary' signifies a group whose vision of 'right' is upsetting to the existing power structure. It includes a philosophical, spiritual, and physical 'breaking off' from the status quo. It also references the individual inner conflicts that arise as you struggle to make the right choices in life. Visionaries don't always create conflict, but they challenge the establishment with new ideas and with the threat of change. Where there is change, there is usually resistance, controversy, division.
"The songs on our first album, Alright You Restless, described a group of people leaving a selfish, destructive society for a place safe from the madness. That was like starting a band, wanting to establish new rules and a language to put some distance between themselves and the noise outside. Those songs were optimistic, energetic and self-righteous because that's how a group of people who broke off from society would feel. As the group faces the struggles of actually making their community work, reality sets in and things get more complicated. Divisionary details the second phase of the journey."

Here's a link to a Christianity Today article that attempts to match Martin Luther to some recent revelations about Mother Theresa. For those who don't know, Mother Theresa wrote in private letters that she sense the absence of God for a prolonged period, stretching decades. It seems that the article is trying more to excuse Mother Theresa than it seeks to explain Luther. For the record, Mother Theresa's admissions run far deeper and are much more troubling. As a Christian I believe that Rome's gospel is a false gospel. Mother Theresa struggled with these feelings because she was deceived about her relationship to the Lord.
Christians struggle with assurance when they sin. This is right because sin does not present us with evidence of the Spirit. Mature Christians are especially bothered by sin (See Romans 7:14-24), but the absence of the Spirit is what produces total absence of salvation. Too much of Luther's comments are made here, yet we would do well to examine ourselves for evidence that supports our profession of faith.
"So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure." (Philippians 2:12-13)

I'm usually several years behind on what's going on on the Internet, and this blog has been showing it. I've gone through and revamped it a bit, adding in options to allow people to post what I'm saying elsewhere, although I'm not sure why they'd want to...and adding a few other new features.
Not really sure what I think of it yet, but we'll see...

Revamping the blog

2012 was the first time I wrote about my resolutions and it's actually a bit disappointing that I didn't reach or accomplish even half of 'em. Haha! I wasn't going to post my list this year but something made me change my mind. I'm just not sure what was it. Maybe I realized I can write anything on my blog since this is mine. I don't really care to those non-believers. Ooops! I'll try to do better this year.
1. Make exercise part of my lifestyle. Yes, it's on top of my list this year. I have never made exercise a priority last year for some reasons that again, I'm not sure. Though, my hubby was kind enough to pay for my 1 year membership fee in FF, I rarely go there towards the end of 2012. I got lazy. Though, I also quit my job in 2012, I enjoyed being a Blogger getting invitations for food and restaurant reviews, product launches, etc., and when I get home, I'm, physically and emotionally tired.
I made plans for this year on how to free–up my schedule so that I could exercise. And yes, I got a new job already which I tend to keep and maintain longer than my previous jobs. I'm making a master plan. I am also considering running. Since most of my friends are into running already, I guess, there's nothing wrong if I also try it. Good luck to me!
2. Travel and learn to explore new and different places. Mind you, I have not been out of the Philippines for the whole 2012. How's that?! Tsk!
I also want to travel with Francis more. We've done a few and quick out of towns years back and it was so much fun. I blogged about some of them too!
3. Have more dinner or intimate get-together at home. I love having friends in our house when I was still single. But since I got married and we moved to a smaller apartment, it's hard for us to accept guests and have a little party at home. Me and Francis is eyeing a better and bigger place for us this year. I will update you guys about this.
4. Have at least 7 hours of sleep everyday. This means less time on Facebook and syndication. Haha! Let's see.
5. Drink more juices, less on coffee. I noticed my teeth are getting yellowish and I don't like it. So, I'ma stay away to those liquids that's making my teeth less white.
New year is all about getting another chance to do better. I like a bit of pressure in my life that's why i think, making a new year's resolution list works for me. Personally, I find being effortless overrated. To move forward takes effort sometimes, a lot of it. It also make me feel good to be able to achieve or reach that personal goal that I set.

Dogfish Head Midas Touch
Brewed by: Dogfish Head
Style: Traditional Ale
IBUs: 12
Bottle: 12 fl.oz.
Served in: Wine glass or pint glass
Place of purchase: this was a birthday gift for Jugsy (Thanks Ara & Leon!)
Price: unknown
Mugsy and Jugsy hope that this Memorial Day finds you relaxing, enjoying a good brew, and perhaps contemplating the finer things in life. To that end, we bring you a review inspired by the legendary King Midas, who had the ability (or so the story goes) to turn everything he touched into gold!
Dogfish Head touts this brew as the "actual oldest-known fermented beverage in the world!" They followed an ancient recipe using the original ingredients from the 2700 year old drinking vessels discovered in the tomb of King Midas and by their own admission, this brew lies "somewhere between wine & mead... and will please the Chardonnay or beer drinker alike."
In every proper review, your trusted husband & wife team of Beeraucrats will examine the Appearance, Aroma, Taste, Mouthfeel, Drinkability and Overall Rating of the Beer and arrive at a Total Score from 1 to 10.
Dogfish Head Midas Touch
Mugsy: Darkish yellow color. Very slight amount of carbonation visible. Thin head that dissipates to an even thinner head. Looks like a lager. No lacing left on glass.
Jugsy: Amber in color with a very slight murkiness. Practically no head to speak of, but very visibly carbonated during pour, although now appears normal.
Mugsy: Sweet scents of honey come to the nose first. Sweet, dessert wine aroma is next. Extremely sweet smelling, almost like candy.
Jugsy: Smells fragrant and sweet, like a spicy, perfumed essential oil. Floral smells and honey -- smells like mead! Sweet malted barley and light orange blossom scent permeates throughout. If this brew has any hops, I can't smell them.
Mugsy: Sweet! The muscat grapes predominate this. Almost tastes like a very mild, slightly carbonated muscato wine. There is a slightly sugary after taste, but it's not overwhelming. Doesn't taste at all like other beers from any other styles that I can think of.
Jugsy: Yeast and barley flavors hit all at once, but in an unexpected way. Tastes more like wine than beer. Yeast and muscat grapes are strong middle-notes along with the spices (the label says it's saffron).
Mugsy: The sugary content of the beer makes for a bit of a coating on the tongue. Goes back easily, if not somewhat watery.
Jugsy: This beer is neither rich nor watery. Has a tongue-numbing effect after a few sips, though.
Mugsy: The 9% ABV would keep you to drinking only a couple before moving on to something else. Also, the high sugar content coupled with the high ABV would make for a pretty nasty hangover!
Jugsy: Definitely not a brew you can continuously throw back, and not merely due to its 9% ABV, but its sheer overpowering taste! Really drinks more like wine than beer.
Mugsy: Definitely a neat concept. Not bad overall. May be a little too sweet and little too watery for me. Drink this one cold and finish before it warms up to any degree! Would purchase again at least once, just for fun.
Jugsy: I was really excited to try this beer after finding out about its ancient recipe and heritage. The beer smells amazing and unlike anything I've smelled before, but the actual taste is somewhat disappointing. There's a sharp taste to it, more reminiscent of wine, which nearly always gives me a stomach ache, as this beer is doing now. It's possible the bottle was mis-handled and the taste spoiled; I can't be sure. Definitely should not be drunk on an empty stomach!

Wolaver's India Pale Ale
Brewed by: Otter Creek Brewing, Middlebury, Vermont
Style: IPA
Bottle: 12 fl.oz.
Served in: Pint glass
Place of purchase: Wades Wines, Thousand Oaks, CA
Price: $1.50 / per bottle
In celebration of American Craft Beer Week, (May 17-23, 2010) we thought it would be nice to review a craft beer from a small brewery in Vermont. Wolaver's takes beer back to its basics, and by that we mean organic and unadulterated beer!
Not only do they use a minimum of 98% organic ingredients to make their beers, but they also have a laundry list of sustainable "green" practices: everything from feeding their spent grain to local livestock, to treating their wastewater themselves with an in-house management system! 'Don't know about you, but we were impressed!
In every proper review, your trusted husband & wife team of Beeraucrats will examine the Appearance, Aroma, Taste, Mouthfeel, Drinkability and Overall Rating of the Beer and arrive at a Total Score from 1 to 10.
Wolaver's India Pale Ale
Mugsy: Medium golden color. Creamy head that dissipates quickly, however, leaves lacing on glass.
Jugsy: Amber and copper hues, slightly murky with a medium, frothy head -- no visible carbonation whatsoever.
Mugsy: Lots of sweet malt with a subtle hint of hops. There's a little bit of yeast in there, too. Sweet malt definitely dominates here. As the beer warms, there's a slightly funky smell that becomes noticeable. I can only imagine it's from the yeast.
Jugsy: Incredibly yeasty and rich smells hit the nose first. Something approaching "funk" but more distinctive. Aromas of apricots, licorice, dried cherries and vanilla beans combine for a striking fruitcake aroma. Slight scent of hops, but not as much as I would expect from an IPA.
Mugsy: Bitterness from piney hops hits the tongue first, followed by sweetness from malt. There is an unpleasant aftertaste, however. Almost chemical (ridiculous, of course, as this is organic!) I think it's from the yeast but it's hard to tell.
Jugsy: Initial taste is yeasty, like the aroma. Middle-notes include dried apricot and light citrus-orange(?) taste. Hops come through near the finish. Hint of piney hops appears and disappears, leaving a bitter finish.
Mugsy: Sting on tongue from the hops remains in the mouth for a little bit. Very watery finish.
Jugsy: Feels very creamy going down. The lack of carbonation makes for smooth and easy drinking. Bitter coating on tongue is only mild and dissipates quickly.
Mugsy: 6.5% ABV makes this easy to drink all night, but I wouldn't necessarily want to. The unpleasant aftertaste, smell and watery finish ruined it for me.
Jugsy: From a taste perspective, this brew is bold and flavorful -- maybe too much so for a typical session beer. And at 6.5% ABV, that might be for the best. All in all, a pleasant and drinkable beer.
Mugsy: The more subtle bitterness level reminds me more of a British style IPA as opposed to American style. That's fine with me, however, I just can't get past the aftertaste and smell. I really do believe that it's coming from the yeast. Maybe this bottle had seen too much light or become too warm in the store. I can't be sure, but I do know that this is not a very enjoyable beer for me. I wouldn't purchase it again. I've had other beers from Wolaver's that I don't remember being at all bad. This one surprised me.
Jugsy: While this isn't at all what I would expect from and IPA, it isn't a bad beer! The funk is kind of growing on me! However, since Mugsy just mentioned that he doesn't even want to finish this beer due to an awful aftertaste (words I seldom hear!) it occurs to me that the bold funk of this brew is not everyone's cup of... well, beer! Proceed with caution.
Mugsy: 2.9
Jugsy: 5.75

Beers at the Toronado Pub in S.F.!
In a word, friends, YES.
The Toronado is not a fancy bar. You wouldn't take a woman there on your first date (unless she was a devout lover of quality beer). It's not the kind of place where you casually meet up with co-workers after a hard day. No. The Toronado is a beer bar for beer aficionados. The walls are adorned with old beer advertisements from around the world along with a bumper sticker proudly proclaiming, "No Crap on Tap." Indeed! The lighting is dim… the seats, not terribly comfortable, but what it lacks in atmosphere, it more than makes up for in the sheer variety of tasty craft beer selections.
For your reading pleasure, we'll include a mini-review of some of those brews here.
In every proper review, your trusted husband & wife team of Beeraucrats will examine the Appearance, Aroma, Taste, Mouthfeel, Drinkability and Overall Rating of the Beer and arrive at a Total Score from 1 to 10.
Beer: Death and Taxes
Brewed by: Moonlight Brewing Co.,
Style: Black Lager
Bottle: On draught
Served in: Pint glass
Place of purchase: Toronado,
Price: $5
Mugsy: Black, opaque. Very thin head. Some lacing on glass.
Jugsy: Dark brown with little to no head and not
much carbonation.
Mugsy: Roasted malt, coffee – almost chocolaty, like Quik chocolate milk mix.
Jugsy: Sweet chocolaty malts, possibly even the sweet smell of dates. Very light scent of roasted coffee; overall scent is of chocolate and fruit.
Mugsy: Sweet roasted malt with a fair bit of hops. Slightly chocolaty with a nutty finish.
Jugsy: True to its smell, chocolate malts hit the tongue first. Taste of hops in the finish and hops / yeast aftertaste. Also some dried fruit flavors, prunes, perhaps.
Mugsy: Bit of sting from bitter malt and hops. Goes back quite easily, like a lager should.
Jugsy: Drinks light – a bit on the watery side with a thin mouthfeel.
Mugsy: Could drink all night. Not too heavy. Quite refreshing, actually.
Jugsy: This is a drinkable "everyday" beer.
Mugsy: Would order again in a heartbeat. Tasty and refreshing. Don't let it get too warm, though. Savor, then throw it back!
Jugsy: The taste reminds me of Black Hart Irish Stout, only fruitier. I wouldn't seek this out, but I wouldn't turn it down, either. It's a good beer, but with a name like Death and Taxes, I expected something slightly more bold and creative.
Mugsy: 7.7
Jugsy: 6.5
Naturally, with such an extensive selection of brews from which to choose, Mugsy and I wanted to try all sorts of different things on our own as well! So, we'll break with tradition a little bit here and include some solo reviews. You'll notice that one of us had a few more brews than the other!
Beer: Grand Cru
Brewed by: Brouwerij Rodenbach,
Bottle: On draught
Served in: Tulip glass
Place of purchase: Toronado,
Price: $6
According to its website, the "Award Winning Rodenbach Grand Cru is a blend of 'young' beer (33%) and an older beer (67%) that has matured in oak vats. It is the high percentage of the older ripened-in-oak beer that gives it the complex and intense bouquet with a very long aftertaste like a Grand Cru wine. This is a complex beer with lots of wood and fruity esters, wine-like and with a balsamic vinegar aroma. A sharp taste, fruity, refreshing and with a balanced Madeira-like sweetness."
The late Michael Jackson bestowed upon this beer the titles of "World Classic" and "the Burgundy of Belgium."
Mugsy: Dark, coffee brown with a very thin head. Thick lattice-work of lacing.
Mugsy: Malt vinegar! Slight scent of alcohol and a slight hint of citrus; sweetens as it warms.
Jugsy: I can vouch for the strong vinegar smell – whoa!
Mugsy: Malt vinegar! Extremely sour. Slight hint of sour cherries, sour blackberries..
Jugsy: Okay, I had a sip. Just one. (That was all I could handle.) Who put vinegar in my lambic and why?!?
Mugsy: Little sting from the bitterness, otherwise goes back easily. Aftertaste is quite overwhelming and stays in mouth for a long time.
Mugsy: Only in small doses. Far too sour for me.
Jugsy: Saying this beer is "sour" is actually being kind. I love vinegar, but not in my beer glass!
Mugsy: Interesting to try but otherwise far too sour for my palate. Wouldn't say no, but probably would not order again. Not complex.
Jugsy: I don't really understand people who think this brew is drinkable. After one sip, I absolutely refused to have another taste.
Mugsy: 3.5
Jugsy: 1.0
Partly to get rid of that awful vinegar aftertaste and partly because we were getting pretty hungry after drinking our beers and watching patron after patron bring in what looked to be utterly delicious sausage sandwiches from the place next door, we decided to take a little food break. If you find yourself at the Toronado, we highly recommend getting a sandwich from Rosamunde Sausage Grill. They have everything – including vegan sausages – you can add sautéed onions and mustard and it comes in a warm & toasty sourdough bun. Heavenly!
Beer: Blind Pig IPA
Brewed by: Russian River Brewing Co.,
Style: American IPA
IBUs: 72
Bottle: On draught
Served in: Tulip glass
Place of purchase: Toronado,
Price: $5
Jugsy: Golden amber with some carbonation visible. Thin head dissipates quickly.
Jugsy: Nothing but an influx of fresh, piney hops! Smells like an Evergreen forest in a glass!
Jugsy: Smooth and bitter, with an overwhelming hops punch. Can't taste much else when it's cold, but as it warms, an apricot flavor emerges. Hops aftertaste.
Jugsy: Very smooth. Not watery at all. Fair amount of carbonation present. Leaves a bitter hops coating on the tongue. Tastes like it has a higher ABV than it actually does.
Jugsy: Very drinkable, but only for pure hopheads!
Jugsy: I really enjoy the beers I've tried from Russian River Brewing, Pliny the Elder being my favorite so far. Blind Pig is not a balanced brew by any stretch of the imagination, but I don't think that was ever its purpose. It's difficult to taste anything but hops. I really like it, but it's definitely not for everyone!
Jugsy: 7.2
And… possibly saving the best for last (of the beers at the Toronado, that is) – Mugsy ordered another fine brew and, as always, offered me the first sip (ever the gentleman!) The Dubuisson Scaldis Quadrupel. Oh, so good!
Beer: Scaldis
Brewed by: Brasserie Dubuisson Frères,
Bottle: On draught
Served in: Tulip glass
Place of purchase: Toronado,
Price: $7
Mugsy: Golden amber, tan. Thin head, lacing on glass is a lattice-work
Mugsy: Lots of yeast, fruity scents: passion fruit and figs
Mugsy: Honey drizzled on top of sweet fruit. Slight hoppiness comes through. Passion fruit and ripe fig strong aftertaste.
Mugsy: Delicate. Balance is sweet with slight hint of hoppiness.
Mugsy: Like drinking fruit juice. Could get you in to trouble very easily. Easy to drink. Watch out for the hangover.
Mugsy: Beautiful balance of honey, fruit, yeast and hops. Fruitiness may be a little heavy-handed, though. If anyone hasn't bottled the Greek God's gift 'Ambrosia' as of this writing, then Scaldis may be able to take the copyright.
Mugsy: 8.90

Beer Run for the President!
Beer run for President Obama!
According to one of the many news articles on the subject, Obama "kiddingly" asked for BEER during a visit to Maine.
Kiddingly?!?! We think not!
From the podium, while addressing a large crowd, President Obama mentioned Bill Milliken, a small business owner -- that business being Maine Beer and Beverage -- and said that he hoped he'd get some free samples in exchange for the publicity!
Way to use your position of power, Obama! Mugsy and Jugsy approve!!!

El Camino (Un)Real Black Ale
Brewed by: Stone Brewing/ 21st Amendment Brewery/Firestone Walker Brewing Co.
Style: Dark Ale
Bottle: 12 fluid oz.
Served in: Tulip glass
Place of purchase: Stone Brewery, Escondido, CA
Price: $5.00 (or so - we weren't counting at this point....)
Figs and Fennel and Chia - oh my! Just some of the ingredients in the latest Stone Brewery collaboration. This time it's Stone Brewing meeting up with 21st Amendment Brewery, in San Francisco, CA, and Firestone Walker Brewing Co. in Paso Robles, CA.
Jugsy and I tried this one on tap when we were at the Stone Brewery. However, we decided to just enjoy Jugsy's birthday and not concentrate on reviews. We purchased bottles of this collaboration and reviewed them at home, once we were sober!!!! As mentioned on the bottle, "(We) tried to capture some of the historic flavors of the old El Camino Real by brewing this beer with fennel, chia, peppercorns and mission figs. It was a fun beer to brew, and in some ways took us back to the 4th grade, when our schoolteachers first introduced us to the history of California and its Missions.
Jugsy and I are both very proud NATIVE Californians. You don't find much of our kind around these parts. Let us review the kind of beer that famous Brother and Monk Junipero Serra may have enjoyed (at least we hope they let him drink beer!)
In every proper review, your trusted husband & wife team of Beeraucrats will examine the Appearance, Aroma, Taste, Mouthfeel, Drinkability and Overall Rating of the Beer and arrive at a Total Score from 1 to 10.
El Camino (Un)Real Black Ale
Mugsy: Black, as the name would imply. Completely opaque, even when held to the light. Medium sized, beige colored head that dissipates somewhat quickly, leaving a thinner but lasting small head. Very little lacing left behind on glass.
Jugsy: Brown/Black with a hint of dark red. Medium tan/pink head dissipates relatively quickly, leaving lacing behind. Dark and completely opaque in appearance.
Mugsy: Strong nose of piny hops mixed with coffee. Smells woodsy. Ever so slight scent of anise or licorice. Begins to smell fruity as it warms.
Jugsy: Initial aromas are of multi-layered hops, coffee and roasted malts. Sweet black licorice comes through as the beer warms a bit. Overall smell is fresh (slightly piny) with rich coffee, chocolate and herb sweetness.
Mugsy: Hops and roasted malt come first. Next on the palate is light taste of chocolate and then fruit. The fruit flavor intensifies as the beer gets warmer. Fruits like prunes or sugary dates. Very complex. Definitely becomes sweeter and less bitter as it warms.
Jugsy: Bitter hops and roasted malt hit the tongue first, then quickly give way to a bittersweet chocolate flavor. Definite taste of licorice and something herbal - lavender, perhaps? Complex flavors reveal something different in each sip. Aftertaste is of bitter hops, coffee and licorice.
Mugsy: Very light on the tongue. I wouldn't describe it as watery, due to the sweetness, but definitely not heavy like a stout or porter. Quite refreshing, actually.
Jugsy: The flavors make for a bold mouthfeel, neither heavy nor light. Carbonation is significant and the bitter, numbing hops only add to the sensation.
Mugsy: Very easy to throw back, especially when on the colder side. As it warms, the sugary taste of the beer may become a little off-putting. Also, at 9.5% ABV, this is one that you would want to sip and not slug.
Jugsy: While the El Camino (Un)Real is a very enjoyable and drinkable beer, both the complexity in palate and high ABV (9.5%) make this a specialty rather than a session beer. It's clearly meant to be savored and sipped to be properly appreciated.
Mugsy: Complex, especially when it's colder (mind you, not right out of the fridge cold - ales should be enjoyed between 50 and 60 degrees Fahrenheit, depending on the ale). The sweetness becomes dominant as the ale warms which is unfortunate, as I really liked the original mix of hops, malt and fruity, chocolaty sweetness. Whatever the case, would I drink this beer again? Absolutely. I would just drink it quicker! Is this my favorite Stone collaboration? No, but that's not my point here. It's obvious that the guys at Stone, Firestone Walker and 21st Amendment had a blast coming up with this fabulous concoction that includes mission figs, fennel and chia (ch-ch-ch-chia!) seeds. This is a great example of the kind of fun, out-of-the-box ideas about brewing that we get from Stone (and their collaborators) that make their beers stand out above so many others. Nice work, folks! This would pair well, with rich foods like roasts, stews, or saucy dishes.
Jugsy: El Camino (Un)Real? Named so perhaps because the flavors take you on a journey that's familiar yet mysterious at the same time. The taste can best be described as kaleidoscopic, as new flavors jump out unexpectedly and dance for a moment on your tongue. I can't imagine what food would be able to hold its own against this beer. I say, drink it on its own (but on a full belly!) and allow yourself to explore the dark.
Mugsy: 7.65

Just a little something...
Just a little something to keep you entertained until we put up our next post... which will either be a review of the new Stone collaboration "El Camino (Un)Real Black Ale" or the "Sawyer's Triple Ale" (whose proceeds go completely to charity - more on that later) or, we were toying with the idea of reviewing a He'Brew beer in honor of Passover. Any thoughts?
It's true what they say, "So many beers, so little time!"
We know that we review a lot of Stone brews and some of our followers on the East Coast get frustrated from time to time, but you're likely to see even more in the near future, since that's where we went to celebrate Jugsy's birthday this past week! The folks at Stone are as lovely and welcoming as their brews.... Stay tuned for our interview with Dan, the Tour Master at Stone (at least, that's what we call him!) There's a lot of typing involved for us on that one, so it might take a while ;-)
In the meantime, we thought we'd offer up an "appetizer" of sorts. Since so much is often said about the pairing of wine and cheese, we thought it would be a good idea to celebrate the heavenly combination of beer and cheese! It's not entirely new, as a commentator on the AOL article this morning said, "Beer and cheese have always been a matching pair in my book. Forget the fancy stuff... any kind of beer goes with any kind of cheese. At the high end: Guinness and brie. At the low end: Bud Light and Cheetos. The flavors just seem to compliment each other in a way that wine does not."
There's also a pretty cool pairing on the Kegerators blog. Mmmm. Wonder what would pair well with vegan cheese???

Smithwick's Irish Ale
Brewed by: Guinness & Co., Dublin, Ireland (originally brewed by Smithwick's, Kilkenny, Ireland)
Style: Irish Red Ale
IBUs: Unknown
Bottle: 12 fluid oz.
Served in: English pint glass
Place of purchase: Trader Joe's
Price: $6.99 per 6 pack
So, here we are, the middle of March. The 17th, to be exact. Why do I have a strange inclination to eat boiled potatoes and soda bread while listening to The Pogues and drinking beer? OK, I always have an inclination to listen to The Pogues and drink beer, but all of it combined speaks quite strongly of - - Saint Patrick's Day! The celebration (at least here in the U.S.) of all things Irish: wearing o' the green and tons of other Irish stuff, most importantly, drinking. Yes, drinking. Drinking beer. And drinking whiskey (notice the spelling, boyo?) Wait, that's a whole different blog!
OK, back to drinking beer. Jugsy & I, having been to the British Isles (including Ireland) many, many times, did some very serious searching for a beer to review at this specific time. Of course, we could have chosen Guinness Stout or Harp Lager (both fine beers!) but we decided on a brew that is not as readily available, or at least, is not as well known, here in the U.S.
Smithwick's Irish Ale is celebrating it's 300th anniversary this year, having started its brewing operation at the St. Francis Abbey brewery in Kilkenney, Ireland in 1710. A family tradition of brewing resulted over the next 300 years and gives us the beer we have for review today.
In passing, here are a couple of famous Irish sayings - ones that we love; just to get you in to the St. Patty's Day spirit:
"There are many good reasons for drinking,
One has just entered my head.
If a man doesn't drink when he's living,
How in the hell can he drink when he's dead?"
"Here's to a long life and a merry one
A quick death and an easy one
A pretty girl and an honest one
A cold beer and another one!"
In every proper review, your trusted husband & wife team of Beeraucrats will examine the Appearance, Aroma, Taste, Mouthfeel, Drinkability and Overall Rating of the Beer and arrive at a Total Score from 1 to 10.
Smithwick's Irish Ale
Mugsy: Deep bronze color. Dark amber when held to light. Creamy looking head that dissipates quite quickly. Slight bit of carbonation visible. Very little lacing left on glass.
Jugsy: Clear, copper/red in color with a thick, frothy head that dissipates to a thin, white head. Very little carbonation can be seen. No lacing left behind.
Mugsy: Slight bit of yeast. Some malt comes through also. Not a strong aroma at all.
Jugsy: Delicate scent of mild yeast and hops. Smells slightly sweet and fresh, a hint of peppermint candy and pine cones.
Mugsy: First and foremost is a "cheesy" taste. I can only assume that this is attributable to the yeast. Slightly sweet malt is present, as well. While the hops couldn't be detected with scent, they do come through here, if only very slightly. Slight toasted nut after taste and very slight chocolate, caramel and coffee become present as the beer warms.
Jugsy: Unusual combination of yeast (Irish soda bread?) and roasted coffee/malts. There's a skunky bitterness from the hops that becomes a very pronounced middle-note before the yeast and coffee re-appear. Aftertaste is bitter sourdough. As the beer warms, a distinctly nutty and pleasant taste (and aftertaste) emerges.
Mugsy: Quite a nice feel. Very creamy. Slightly bitter bite on the tongue. Goes down without any "soupiness" but with just enough substance to make sure you know that this has some weight to it. As beer warms just past its perfect temperature, it does get a little watery feeling, though.
Jugsy: The initial expectation is of creaminess, but this beer actually ends up being a little on the thin side.
Mugsy: At 4.5% ABV, it would obviously be no problem for a serious beer drinker (who me?) to throw back many of these, however, the watery finish as the beer warms past its point of perfection is a slight turn-off for me and makes me think twice. Guess I'll just have to drink the next several Smithwick's much more quickly!
Jugsy: At 4.5% ABV, this is a classic "session" beer and I'm pretty sure Mugsy would have to drink a gallon of it just to feel a buzz! The beer needs to warm somewhat in order for it to reveal its full character. Quite drinkable!
Mugsy: Quite well balanced. Not overdone on any aspect, making this an obvious choice for the first pint at the pub on the way home from work. It all comes down to, as mentioned so many times before, "would I drink this beer again?" And the answer is "Yes - but I wouldn't necessarily seek it out." Not a bad beer by any means (and believe me, I've had some pretty bland beers in the British Isles), I just feel that there are so many better, more interesting beers out there on which I would rather spend my money. Let's put it this way - the next time I go shopping for a great beer, am I going to head straight for the Smithwick's? If it's St. Patty's Day, then it would certainly be one of the two or three Irish beers I would select. Otherwise, no. However, the next time I find myself in Ireland or anywhere in the British Isles (as Jugsy and I often do, believe it or not) then Smithwick's would definitely be one of the beers on rotation at the pub. Would pair very well with rich St. Patty's day foods and equally well with rich, creamy desserts.
Jugsy: I'd love to be in Ireland, drinking this ale alongside a talkative, old pub-regular, nestled in the supernaturally green and misty countryside. There's something in this beer that I can't put my finger on, but when I taste it, I know I'm drinking either an Irish or a Scottish ale. Yeast strain, perhaps? Peaty water? I don't know, but it makes me a bit nostalgic.
Mugsy: 5.0
Jugsy: 6.0
From both of us at Beeraucracy, we wish you a very happy Saint Patrick's Day!!

Belgian Beer Tasting - 10 Brews
Belgian Beer Tasting! (a.k.a. 10 Beers for $5!)
We know it's been a little longer than usual since we've posted a review, but rather than give you a long story about pipes bursting and flooding our home, we figured we'd just give you more bang for your buck! (We realize it's free to read our blog, so really… you're getting a heck of a lot of "bang" for nothing!)
Last Thursday, one of Mugsy & Jugsy's favorite purveyors of fine beers (and other spirits), Wades Wines, hosted a Belgian Beer Tasting. Jason, or "the beer guy" as Jugsy refers to him, selected 10 Belgian brews for the tasting and provided lots of cool information to all the curious tasters in tow. (Did we mention it was only $5?!?!)
Beers were presented in a specific order according to the complexity of taste and alcohol by volume, in general, lowest to highest. We struggled over whether or not it was fair to assign a point-value as we would normally do, simply because the environment and amount served was not conducive to the proper attention and appreciation that beer usually requires. So, bear that in mind before taking our ratings too seriously on these!
Without further ado, we present our mini-review of 10 beers!
Belgian Beer Tasting – 10 Beers for $5!

Mugsy: Hoppy, clean – 4.5
Jugsy: I didn't even bother to take notes on this one. It tasted watery and weak

Jugsy: Amber/murky, funky yeast, mild piney hops, citrus, bitter, barnyard funk, aftertaste of yeast & hops – 6.4

Jugsy: Clear brown, some head, roasted malt & yeast smell, very funky sour yeast and malt flavor; not pleasant to drink – 4.5
Beer #5 – Malheur 10 (Tripel)
Mugsy: Super murky & super funky, very citrusy – like orange, smooth, sweet and creamy. Can definitely taste the ABV. Quite balanced between sweetness & hops. Fruity – 7.5
Jugsy: Amber/opaque (murky), lots of fruity yeast, smell of fresh citrus; smooth, creamy, fruity with a nice hop balance. Delicate, sophisticated flavor, and I'm feeling the ABV. Sweet and light. Love it! -- 9.0

Her most delicate places
Last year for Valentine's Day, he surprised her with a huge gift: A brand new MacBook Pro from the Apple Store. It was love at first sight. She didn't go anywhere without her Mac tucked inside her courier bag. But after about six months, something was wrong. In the center of her screen, there appeared some irregularities, like someone or something had rubbed the screen too hard or touched it too often. But that was impossible! She never let anyone touch her most delicate
This year, he got to the bottom of her problem: Keyboard grime. Every time she closed her laptop, the screen contacted the fingerboard, and the natural oils that gathered there were transferred to the monitor. Simple problem, meet simple solution.
A quick trip to First Tech on South Hennepin Ave. revealed an ingenious product by RadTech called ScreenSavrz. For $16, he bought a small "microfiber" keyboard cover—it's like a thin piece of moleskin cut perfectly to size that she can sandwich between screen and keeb every time she shuts down. Even niftier? The cloth can be wetted and used gently to work on tough spots, even removing small scratches and buffing out pits.
Now that's a great way to prolong a love affair!

FirstTech is one of those under-appreciated places in Uptown. Sure it's a tad bit out-of-place and has a high level of geekery, but they know their shit... and they know the right stuff to stock. I wish I got a kickback from this comment... !

Agreed! I think the place has imporved ALOT in recent years. WHen I was in there to buy this keyboard thingie, they ran to my service and practically doted on me, without making me feel like I was a dirtbag for not dropping $5K on a new laptop or flatscreen.
Kudos to FirstTech!

Faith - American Theocracy
The internet is a-buzz with talk about theocracy in the good ol' US of A.
Joe Carter has a post on how those wacky liberal lefties are mis-using the term and are really only trying to use perjorative words in describing those who have different vieews to themselves.
When those of us on the "religious right" hear such paranoid ranting it naturally elicits a chuckle. After all, more than half of American evangelicals are either Baptists or non-denominational. We don't even want a centralized church government much less a central government controlled by the church. So where does this silly canard come from?
Powerline gets in on the act, reporting on a conference called "Examining the Real Agenda of the Religious Far Right" which was reporting in the Washington Times
"She compared the Federal Communications Commission's threatened crackdown on indecency on television with the Taliban, the repressive Islamic rulers of Afghanistan who harbored Osama bin Laden's terrorist network until toppled by a U.S.-led invasion."
In Afghanistan under the Taliban, girls weren't permitted to attend elementary school, and large numbers of people were executed before crowds in soccer stadiums. In "theocratic" America, the FCC thinks that women's breasts shouldn't unexpectedly pop into view while millions of children are watching a sporting event. SAME THING! NO DIFFERENCE! These people, by the way, pride themselves on "nuanced" thinking.
Stanley Kurtz from the National Review comments on Harper Magazine's recent focus on "The Christian Right's War On America".
Traditional Christians are openly excoriated in the mainstream press as evil, fascist, segregationist bigots. Their political speech is placed under legislative threat. Their institutions of higher education are attacked and destroyed. Naturally, America's traditional Christians are fighting back. They've turned to the political process in hopes of securing for themselves a space in which to exist. Weary of being the butt of hatred by those who proclaim tolerance, conservative Christians are complaining, with justice, about the all-too-successful attempts to exclude them from society.
I have also a recent post on similar cries of theocracy in an editorial.
To insist that anyone with religious belief and associated morality is a theocrat is ridiculous. I guess it is quite a concern that someone who disagree's with the writer's morality could get on the judiciary, but instead of trying to use scare words and lowering the discussion to inaccurate perjorative name calling, perhaps we should let democracy take its course and let the people decide. I realise that this writer will never go for that, because he is under the delusion that religious and moral neutrality is possible.
Unlike Joe, I don't think we should be chuckling. The smear attempt needs to be answered with reason and correction before we allow those who despise christian morality are allowed to twist yet another word to their own agenda.

1 hour / 400 hands / 6 BI
Sort of makes me feel like I know how to play poker. Current plan. Keep winning. Beat Bayne in our wager. Use my rapidly growing FTP points at 1800 for a 26$ token. Keep on rolling.
Hand of the day. I have AK. Call a re-raise. Possibly a mistake. Flop comes AK6. I call a bet. Turn is a K. Can I get away from AA here? My instincts were saying he had it but I could not let go.
Down a buyin I re-bought and worked it back up to up a BI. This added to my morning session where I crushed for 5 buyins in like 1/2 hour. Now it is time for dinner and some WoW ecconomics later.

IT leaders need to prepare for changed business priorities as the economic climate is going to get harsher, the head of Gartner's global research, Peter Sondergaard, has warned.
"We see the potential for troubled times ahead," Sondergaard told delegates at Gartner's recent symposium held in Cannes, France.
The troubled housing market, the credit crunch, the continuing energy crisis "and, last but not least, the declining rate of CEO confidence" all signalled more difficult times ahead, he said.
This would change the priorities and strategies of businesses, he warned in his keynote address. "Your bosses will move from growth to execution. You must be prepared for changing business objectives."
Sondergaard questioned the belief among chief information officers that IT budgets would continue to grow. A Gartner recent survey showed 59% of CIOs expected to increase their IT budgets in 2008. "But are you sure this is the case three months from now?" he asked."
CIOs should prepare two budgets for 2008, he urged, echoing remarks he made last month at Gartner's ITXpo, held in Orlando, Florida.
The first should assume growth similar to that seen over the past six years, while the second should "assume the need to cut costs with the arrival of a recession," Sondergaard said.
CIOs and other business executives will try to deal with the more difficult economic climate with "new efficiencies, new innovations and new ideas to sustain growth", he said. "IT will be at the core of those responses."
This situation "confronts you with heavy responsibilities", Sondergaard warned.
The Gartner research chief said 2007 had been a "milestone year" for IT, which was set to become a £1.5 trillion (NZ$4.04 trillion) market. But a tightening economy would "change the growth rate of the IT industry in 2008," he cautioned.
The past year had seen other key developments, such as the huge growth of consumer-driven Web 2.0 technologies. In the US this year, MySpace had accounted for 6% of all internet visits – "33% more than Google", Sondergaard said. It had also been "the year of green", which saw a growing understanding of the importance of power consumption issues among IT users.
Increased interest in virtualisation and the rise of software as a service had also marked the year out, he added. "Innovations such as these are increasingly visible to business leaders and your non-IT colleagues."
IT leaders would find their colleagues wondering why these new developments were in the marketplace but not in their own enterprise, he added.
Sondergaard listed a series of "imperatives" for IT organisations: attracting and retaining customers; maximising performance and profitability; improving critical business processes; boosting the effectiveness of the workforce, and managing risk and compliance.
"May the computing force be with you," he concluded.

A new family moved in today, and are getting settled. Mom cried and cried when she saw her new apartment. She was truly overwhelmed, and kept saying "This is so nice, this is so wonderful, thank you, thank you (apologizing for crying between her tears)." Her four year old daughter threw herself down on the bed, stretched full out as if making a snow angel on the bed, and announced "I'm tired!" She was clearly not tired, but savoring the notion of being in her own place with her own bed. She was full of gratitude beyond her years, saying again and again "Thank you!"

The copper has a patina which is not sealed. The colors will change as you wear it, creating a piece that is truly unique to you, your body chemistry, and your surroundings. **************************************************************************** To save trees and reduce production costs for me (which keeps prices as low as possible for you), I do not include a printed receipt with your purchase unless specifically asked. You can track your package and find your receipt via Paypal. This gorgeous piece will come to you with free shipping, plus a free gift! I ship once a week on Saturdays. Disclosure: The bones/skulls I use are from various online sellers or from roadkill I collect. Most I process myself. Since I buy from more than one seller, these bones can come from a variety of sources: found bones, bones from taxidermists, trappers & hunters, or from collectors. Bones are *not* the reason people hunt or have animals mounted and/or stuffed, they are a byproduct of these actions. It is up to you as a buyer to decide if this qualifies as an "ethically sourced" product.

I get wrapped up in craft projects often. For weeks my coffee table or dining room table will be covered in paper, glue, wire, ribbon, paint, whatever supplies I need for this particular craft explosion. Right now it's paper, glue, scissors and hole punches. I'll show you what I'm working on sometime soon. But for now I want to share about a great craft supply website. See I can't go to craft stores because I always end up spending more than I want to. I browse around and think I'll use this or that and before I know it I'm way over budget. That's why I like Papier Valise. First, they have amazing thing. Second, I can edit myself a little better on-line. Here are some things I could use for my most recent project
I know they make no sense together but in my craft they totally do. They also have lockets, which I love to wear.
The crafty ideas from this page are endless. Hope you feel inspired.

Police investigating fatal crash in Bixby
BIXBY, Okla. (KTUL) —
One person is dead after a head-on collision near East 111th Street South and South Sheridan Road in Bixby.
The impact was so forceful, that close up, it was difficult to discern between one car and the other.
Sgt. Andrew Long of the Bixby Police Department said it looks as though drugs were possibly involved.
Police say the SUV was waiting to turn left when the sedan began to drift toward them. In an effort to get out of the way, the SUV tried to make the turn, which resulted in an accident where both vehicles hit head on.
The two people in the SUV received minor injuries, but the driver of the sedan, a 27-year-old male, died. He was not wearing a seat belt.
The name of the victim has yet to be released.

It was so sad.
the ending was really sad, it was the only submission on here that almost made me cry.
It was so sad.
the ending was really sad, it was the only submission on here that almost made me cry.
hey this sucks. I guess all you can use is motion tween, so I am suspecting that making this flash didn't take long. You could have at least not made the big serpent a symbol so you can make it twist and curve better than motion tween. Didn't you care when you were making this flash that the sserpent's body was coming apart during the fight? And the parts where you tried to make it slow-motion, you made it way too slow. I mean, really slow, so you should watch out for that. For the walking, did you make that an movie clip and make Siegfried walk like that? If you did make it a movie clip, you should try really really hard so the walking and running all look good during the movie. When Siegfried was walking to the top of the castle, he was like sliding. I mean seriously, he didn't even have to move his leg up. Your king looked crappy but that made it funny =). If you were to send a reply to this, I know you'll probably talk trash about how I'm evaluating you, but please keep in mind that I'm not trying to insult you or anything, but only that I'm just telling you some ways to improve your flashes. Good job though. I wanted to rate it at least an 8, but it just didn't seem right to my expectations.
an oddity it was
it was odd. the entire knight thing really isn't tackled anymore. i give you props on that. The ending blew though. it was a little better than what i've been seeing lately.
Its alright but the ending was a bit of an anticlimax...=S
damn that LOTR music was a nice touch.
the end almost made my cry damn it! you couldve made the fall a little bit shorter though.

Louisiana Nursing Home Owners Charged
The owners of a nursing home where 34 people died after Hurricane Katrina hit Louisiana where charged with multiple counts of negligent homicide on Tuesday. Investigators are also looking at similar cases and as more charges will probably follow. Read the entire article here. I wonder what the law says in the case of public officials, could citizens sue for the negligence of local and federal officials? With the FEMA and local response as bad as it was, I would be interested to know what is possible/likely, maybe a law student could post a comment informing the blog.

Since finishing second in the top flight and winning the Scottish Cup in 2006, the Tynecastle side's constant struggles in the league have coincided with a lack of stability in the dugout.
Laszlo's appointment in July saw a six-month-long search for a new manager brought to an end.
The Hungarian (pictured below) makes his managerial bow in Scotland against Motherwell today and he is well aware that the supporters are expecting a vast improvement on last season's disappointing eighth-placed finish.
But Laszlo has pleaded with the Gorgie faithful not to expect overnight success. "A Uefa Cup place is maybe a target point but the reality is that this team finished eighth and they must do better," he said.
"We must make improvements. What has happened in four years can't be rectified with one jump."
Hearts supporters will not be treated to any new signings at Tynecastle. Ugandan international David Obua has been granted a work permit but the midfielder has not yet arrived in the country.
Laszlo has hinted he is ready to offer Danish trialist Mike Tullberg a contract if the striker proves he has overcome his injury problems.
Dundee United manager Craig Levein has revealed that Roy O'Donovan, who made just four starts for Sunderland following a £500,000 move from Cork City last year, should make his United debut at Hamilton on Monday evening.
The 22-year-old striker has joined the Tannadice club on a season-long loan.
The Scottish FA were yesterday contacted by lawyers representing East Fife regarding the suspension handed out to Kevin Fotheringham.
East Fife intend to pursue judicial review proceedings against the eight-match suspension that was imposed on the player, after he was found to be in breach of the Association's disciplinary procedures in respect of unacceptable conduct.

We've put a timer on the Xbox, and Duncan is just itching for more time. I've never had such a cooperative son! He's been willing to do just about anything around the house for more minutes. I'm sure this will be a bit of an annoyance some day, but for now I'm totally enjoying it.
We went to church and Jason went to nursery somewhat painlessly. Usually Brett has to take him in, but I did and he let go of my hand and clung to my friend Virginia. Nice change.
The lesson in Relief Society was about the scriptures. How we need to read them and read them to our family. What peace it brings into our lives. I've been trying to read the Book of Mormon. It goes in spurts but I've read more in the past few weeks, then in a long time. It does help me relax a little. I only can get it in when Jason is busy, but it seems to help my day.
Sacrament Meeting was a bit of a fiasco. The plus side, Brett got to come down to sit with us. That at least helped a little bit. Samantha went to the bathroom 2 times, Tori and Duncan were goofing off, with Jason. Jason tried to escape at least 6 times. Although there was all the craziness, I did actually listen to the speakers. They all did a good job. The youth speaker is a good kid and will be going on a mission within the next year. Kelli, did an awesome job! She is a very sweet person, and I love her. She is AWESOME! Mark, lives down the street from us. He is a really nice guy as well. He's always ready to smile and wave. It was, on a whole, a very pleasant meeting.
Then we went to dinner at Mom's. Three days in a row, with Jason. You should have seen the exhaustion in my Dad's face. We had Stew, and home made Bread. Always a favorite! Even Jason ate. My sister Kristen, will be moving in with my parents soon. They sold their house and will be moving in the next week or so. So we got to play with Mitch and Brock. The boys love Brett! They are both turning out to be AWESOME little men!
The girls are going to Braille camp this morning. I had to be up by 6:50am, how rude! =)
We picked up their new buddy Annie and drove to the carpool. They were so excited to have their canes, they asked Annie where her's was. She smiled and pulled her's out of her backpack. Annie doesn't like to use her cane, but it would be a great benefit for her if she did. Maybe having my girls be sooooo excited about them will help Annie. I hope and pray that our girls will never need to use a cane, Braille, or any of it. However, it doesn't hurt to learn anything! They are going to have a ball!!!
Duncan is downstairs playing on his computer. I really think we need to put a timer on that as well. =)
