Great mugshot

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT! Meet 19-year-old Michael Maxwell of Palm Bay, Fla. He decided to roll up on a house with his boys Wednesday morning with the intent to rob the place. But he and his crew were met with brute force. The residents of the home, kicked, beat and tased Maxwell to submission until the cops arrived. They took him to a local hospital where he was treated for his injuries. He was charged with one count of home invasion robbery with a firearm or deadly weapon and four counts of battery. This mugshot should be posted around the area for all would-be invaders to know what can happen to them if they try to roll up on an innocent person's home with some foolishness. #CHINCHECK FOOL! http://newsone.com/2455644/michael-maxwell-palm-bay-florida/

George Holland You have either the choice to drink warm beer or put ice in. The beer will stay cool for only 10 minutes; the larger bottles will take longer to drink. In Suk/Silom you can only buy small bottles. I don't think its to do with keeping the beer cool; they know they can make more profit by selling small ones for 80-100 baht. They only cost them 20 baht.

Frank Gilbert Anderson As a beer drinker for decades, I can attest that putting ice in my beer is to keep it cool on the way in and down. If you prefer warm beer that is fine, but if you like it cool and it's warming up because of ambient temperatures, do what suits you.

George Holland If lager was always served at room temp like some beers not many would drink it. The fact its chilled makes it tastes better....until it gets warm...then its time for the ice. In the uk there is no need for ice for obvious reasons.
