Selecting an engagement ring, is one of the biggest decisions a man will
make in his life. This is a fact both because of its meaning – it isn’t
just jewelry, it is a lifetime commitment after all – but also because
it is the one item that most women will wear every day. Making a
meaningful selection that is symbolic of the relationship, while meeting
her aesthetic preferences is important. Sometimes this means a
traditional diamond; other times the choice is a bit more heroic.

Ideally, what would you put in your beer? If you said, maple, bacon and coffee, then your dreams have come true my inebriated brother.
This Porter beer by Funky Buddha Brewery should make you very very happy. All of those flavors in a beer should add up to a very delightful drink. Here’s how they describe it:
Evoking a complete diner-style breakfast in a glass, Maple Bacon Coffee Porter is a complex beer with a multitude of flavors at play. It pours an opaque ebony brew with a frothy tan head. Aromas of sticky maple syrup, coffee, and cream creep forth from the glass. The mouth feel is luxuriously creamy, with layers of sweet malt, toffee, and roast giving way to waves of smoke, coffee, and salted chocolate. It finishes sticky, rich, and sweet, with the flavor of maple syrup lingering pleasantly on the tongue.
Well sign me up. Unfortunately, I don’t know if or when this beer will be available outside of their brewpub locations, but the company’s website should soon have the answers.
Organized crime is famously good at exploiting time-sensitive industries like construction, fishing, and—of course—garbage removal.
