PokerStars, also blocked on April 15, 2011, paid back its U.S. players in a fairly timely fashion, but Full Tilt appeared to be illiquid and unable to pay. PokerStars recently acquired Full Tilt&#8217;s assets, and will pay the U.S. government $547 million over a period of three years. Part of this money will be used for repayment of $150 million to U.S. residents who played on the Full Tilt site.

It&#8217;s called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.beertext.us\/\">BeerText.us<\/a>. You text the name of your beer to 315-679-4711 and the service will text back a description, ingredients, and alcohol content. I put that number in my phone&#8217;s Contacts as soon as I saw it! Can&#8217;t wait to try it tonight as I work on beers 47, 48, and 49 for my 7th plate at the Flying Saucer.<\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t Downtown news, but I want to mention it anyway because I know many of my friends like to stop at CK&#8217;s Coffee Shop for late-night food on the weekends. The Memphis Business Journal reports that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bizjournals.com\/memphis\/blog\/morning_call\/2012\/07\/new-cks-coffee-shop-owners-close.html\">10 Memphis-area CK&#8217;s have been closed very suddenly<\/a>. However, if you go to the Poplar\/Evergreen CK&#8217;s, you&#8217;re in luck: That one had a different owner and remains open.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s all for now&#8230; I discovered that my sandals have a hole in them, so it&#8217;s time to hit Payless for a new pair.
