I'm surprised that IPAs are so big where you are, I thought that was more of a US thing.

I'm personally a big fan of darker beers like stouts and porters, and also of Belgians. I've also become a very big fan of sours.

It's not that they are so big. I mean, I have friends who don't like them and there simply are people who wouldn't have ever had one. But it's just that the microbreweries make them and they are the most acclaimed beers among the snobs. They definitely are much more popular in the US.

Porters might be the one style our region is known for. A "Baltic porter" is sort of a known commodity, although the name's etymology seems to have more of a historical meaning rather than that we make a huge variety of them nowadays.

But, yeah, there are good stouts and porters on our side of the world. I like them just as I like any kind of good beer but I guess I prefer other types. If I have a night where I want to drink a variety of beers, I'd probably have one or two though.

I still dont watch much MLS, compared to all the other soccer I watch, but its awesome seeing all those legends playing over here. I know Drogba and Giovinco have been brilliant this year.

If only the USMNT wasnt so damn disappointing.

there are rumors that Orlando City is talking a deal to sign Zlatan Ibrahimovic after his contract with PSG is over.

a few other big name players have said they're interested in playing in the league one day too.


the US team sucks, Jurgen needs to find some new players. there are several players that are doing well (mainly in MLS) that probably deserve a shot.

Unfortunately I think the Feilhaber ship has sailed. I'm convinced Jurgen has something personal against that guy.

I think we have a few very talented young guys coming up. I'd like to see them get worked into our qualifiers against weak competition.

Yeah, I'll never understand the Feilhaber and Lichaj snubs over the past few years. Neither would have been a game changer, but they both should have at least gotten a few callups.

Jurgen needs to move on to being just the technical director of US Soccer and let someone else coach. Grant Wahl wrote a good article about that last week. Jurgen is a big picture guy, perfectly suited for that role. He just sucks as a day-to-day coach.

Actually Jose would actually do well as the US coach, at least in terms of style of play vs type of players in US talent pool. Jose like hard working, team oriented, physical defensive minded players. He loves to play counter-attacking soccer. That's basically the only type of soccer the US can play since we lack the technical players to play beautiful, free-flowing, possession based soccer. He probably would have exiled Dempsey from the team by now though, since Dempsey doesn't really have a stellar work rate.

I'll take "How to Guaranty a Visit from the Department of Health and Human Services" for $100, Alex.

I did this to my ankle last Monday night playing hoops. I might be out of action for a few weeks.

I use a Mac mini as my desktop at home, and the fan on it is driving me insane. It's started making this metallic sounding droning noise. Need to take it to the Apple store but I know it's not under warranty any more.

Just doing some more googling on this drummer girl. Her name is Senri Kawaguchi, and looks like she is 18 now. Seems to be touring all over with a bunch of jazz fusion bands. Wow.

It's not sparking is it? My sister's old laptop starting doing that, and then a puff of smoke came out of it for the next 20 seconds. You'd know if it was doing that. Most likely the fan got mis-aligned somehow and is hitting up against something else.

No sparks, but agree it seems like it's rubbing against something. My theory is that it is warped. I took it out (which was surprisingly easy) and messed with it some, but was never able to get it to stop making the noise.

Bought a $15 replacement on Amazon that's getting delivered tomorrow, we'll see if that does the job.

Make a Genius Bar appointment and have them take a look. Doesn't cost anything for them to run diagnostics.

How old is it?
