New programs at Honey Creek
The 2012-2013 school year is off and "buzzing" at Honey Creek Middle School. We have several programs that are being implemented that will continue the focus on student academics and behaviors.
In an effort to always be aware of our students' social and emotional needs, Honey Creek is putting forth a schoolwide effort with a new program called Second Steps. Second Steps is a program that looks at developmental areas that students deal with everyday. These areas are divided up into classroom-based guidance lessons that are taught throughout the school week. These lessons will continue during the school year for our students. With the help of our school board, central administration and Covered Bridge, this program will keep us at the leading edge that fosters our students' educational and behavioral development.
On the Thursday before school started, we invited all of our sixth-grade students to a "Bee Day" hosted by our Bee Keepers and Mr. Jeff Thompson. Mr. Thompson developed this idea and although he is now a teacher at Terre Haute South, he wanted to make sure his plan was carried out for this new program.
The Bee Keepers are current eighth-grade students who want to help mentor and be leaders in our building to help all students be successful. These students were chosen by teacher recommendations and how they display leadership qualities.
The Bee Keepers did ice-breaker activities to help take away some of our sixth-graders' anxieties about being at a new school. They also have yellow shirts that help identify themselves to our sixth-grade students if they need assistance. This day was a wonderful success and will continue as a "Bee Day" here at HCMS.
Student-driven projects are so wonderful to watch develop and we are blessed to see one developing here at Honey Creek. Seventh-grade student Taylor Lueking has come up with the idea of having a "Pink Buzz" club to help honor and raise money for breast cancer awareness. She has developed activities that include decorating pumpkins and scarecrows to donate to patients in medical facilities. The club may possibly raffle some of the items at upcoming basketball games to raise money. Several activities are scheduled throughout the year to support this important cause that affects everyone in the community.
We are excited to have such a wonderful start to our school year. The support of our fantastic teachers and staff at Honey Creek help us to continue to be a great middle school in Vigo County.
— Michael Cox, principal

Why Breastfeed?
According to the the American Academy of Pediatrics:
Breast milk is your baby's perfect food, containing all the right nutrients in just the right amounts.
Breast milk is always ready and accessible.
Breast milk will continue to meet the needs of your growing baby.
Breast milk enhances proper brain development, and may increase your baby's I.Q.
Breastfed babies are sick less often and generally develop fewer infections and allergies.
Breast milk is easily digested and breastfed babies experience less diarrhea and stomach problems.
Breastfeeding is free food. Formula is expensive!
Breast milk is easy. No mixing, measuring or heating.
Breastfeeding can make you feel closer to your baby.
Breastfeeding mothers burn more calories, reduce their risk of developing certain cancers and often get back into shape faster.

Texas Republicans propose a bill to drug test welfare recipients - should we drug test politicians as well? Laws legalizing the possession and use of marijuana passed in Colorado and Washington, is this the beginning of a new era in American drug policy? Mexico has a new president and many are hoping this will mark the beginning of a real solution to the war against the drug cartels. Finally, we just can't let this week go without continuing the discussion on Texas secession.
Tonight, the U.S. Poet Laureate is the featured speaker at UTSA's Creative Writing Series; Natasha Trethewey is expected to read from her Pulitzer Prize-winning poetry collection.
Trethewey was serving as the poet laureate for the State of Mississippi when she was selected as the 19th poet laureate of the United States in June. Her first poems, titled, "Domestic Work," won the inaugural 1995 Cave Canem poetry prize. Her third collection, "Native Guard," was awarded the 2007 Pulitzer Prize.
Vincent Valdez has been called one of San Antonio's great young artists. He was , at 24, the youngest artist to have a solo exhibition at the McNay Art Museum. On The Newsmaker Hour, we walk through his newest exhibit, America's Finest. We also talk to two filmmakers, Angela and Mark Walley of Walley Films, as they discuss their work documenting San Antonio artists. They recently completed their short documentary on Valdez' work. Finally we will hear Valdez in lecture, walking an audience at the McNay through his career.
City staff members are busy putting together the program that will offer full day pre-kindergarten to thousands of four year olds next year.
The building selections are underway that will serve as the model education centers, the finances are being worked out, and perhaps the most important task is assembling the board that will oversee the program.
At Thursday's city council meeting, Mayor Julián Castro said San Antonio is doing something it has never done before.
"War is a very indiscriminate villain," said General Hal Hornburg, US Air Force Retired, going on to say that in battlefields of the past, these men and women would not have survived the severe wounds that they come home with today.
"And rather than give them a pat on the back," said Hornburg, "we try to give them mobility, which results in freedom and allows them to return to society as productive as they can possibly be."
Marguerite McCormick leads the Children's Chorus of San Antonio
It's an evening of seasonal music by candlelight presented by the "elite choirs": the Chamber Choir and Youth Chorale. This year CCSA brightens Laurel Heights United Methodist Church with their music!
"This is always a very special concert because we can do more with programming, we can feature more groups within the choruses because these youngsters are the elite, the advanced groups," says Marguerite.
Saturday November 17, at 7:00 pm
Friday night sees four new works by Darian Thomas at the Radius Center in San Antonio.
It will include "Rant" - for solo viola with Jill Van Gee; "St. Anthony's Trio" - For string trio with Thomas, Darryl Tolliver, and Luke Bonecutter; "Juli-o" - For solo cello and rapper, featuring Luke Bonecutter and Derwin Mello Pokell Bios; and "The British Quartet."
Ewa Kupiec plays Ravel's masterful Piano Concerto in G
Ewa has previously played Beethoven in San Antonio, and performed with maestro Sebastian Lang-Lessing several times, including the work they'll play this weekend.
"I trust him [Lang-Lessing], which is essential these days, when you're breathing together, and making music together, without tension, you know what is coming next, and you enjoy each other!"
The story of how U.S. military veterans who are deported after committing crimes are living across the border. And a conversation with internationally-renowned author and San Antonio Poet Laureate Carmen Tafolla about her new art and poetry book, "Rebozos."
San Antonio Water System customers could be facing a rate increase of nearly 10 percent in 2013. An aging infrastructure is one reason, but another is pressure from the Environmental Protection Agency.
SAWS spokesperson Anne Hayden said each year the EPA targets cities to reduce sewage overflows. San Antonio treats more than 250 million gallons of sewage each day. Hayden said 99.9 percent of that sewage never escapes the system, but the EPA wants even better numbers for compliance with the Clean Water Act.

The Livingston County Sheriff's Department confirms they have taken two suspects into custody who they believe are involved in the theft of a donation jar from a 7-Eleven in Howell.
According to a press release from the sheriff's department, a male and female suspect were identified through information obtained from civilian sources and both suspects were positively identified.
After responding to the suspect's Howell residence, police say the 34-year-old male suspect was found hiding in a small crawl space under the floor in a laundry room of the home.
After being located, police say the male suspect was turned over to investigators from the Michigan Department of Corrections. The 28-year-old female suspect was identified as the wife of the male suspect and was also arrested and lodged in the Livingston County Jail without incident.
Police say a child that was present during the theft was released to a family member.
According to the press release, Sheriff Bob Bezotte thanked the public "for their involvement in bringing this incident to a successful close."

It's not every day that folks at the campaign office hold an ad-hoc dance off.
"Move that body!" shouts Jim Coleman, campaign manager for state Sen. Greg Ball (R-Patterson), in the video.
Coleman was directing folks to dance at Ball's campaign headquaters, in a video uploaded Wednesday to YouTube to his account on the site.
The video shows Coleman, plus three others dancing.
Ball is running for a second, 2-year term against challenger Justin Wagner (D-Croton-on-Hudson).

In Thursday's Republican debate in Iowa, the Minnesota congresswoman was asked if she would be submissive to her husband.
Bachmann, the only woman in the Republican presidential field,
says she interprets "submission" to mean "respect."
She said she respects her husband, calling him a "wonderful,
godly man and a great father." And she says he respects and loves
her, too.
The question by conservative columnist Byron York drew boos from
the audience.

MANKATO — It's a play the Cougars have spent a decent amount of time on in practice. And on Tuesday evening it paid off.
Midway through the first half of Mankato East's girls soccer match against Austin, the Cougars were awarded a free kick, and Caitlin Clause lined up to deliver it. She lofted the ball up to Rebekah Kolstad who was standing between the defense in front of the goal.
Kolstad intercepted the ball in the air and headed it straight back behind her into the net. The score stood up for the rest of the game as East ended up with a 1-0 Big Nine Conference victory at Thomas O. Anderson Fields.
"Yeah, we practice it," Clause said. "I shouted to her before the play to let her know it was coming her way. After I hit it I could see her eye light up, and I knew she was going to put it in."
Kolstad agreed: "I knew it was coming. I just wanted to time my jump right. I was a little surprised it was the only goal of the game, but sometimes that happens."
The Cougars and Packers played a fairly even first half with East having a slight territorial advantage. That was not the case in the final 40 minutes as East kept the ball almost exclusively in Austin's end.
"We didn't make any adjustments," East head coach Akram Osman said. "The girls were just determined to keep the ball in their end. We should have a had a few more goals, but it's a win and we'll take it."
East ended up outshooting the Packers 23-3. Defenders Clause, Amanda Broman, Sydney Halbur, Ashley Volk and a few others were rarely tested as the ball stayed mainly on the other side of midfield.
Sophomore Emily Flaherty got the shutout with three saves. The win puts East over the .500 mark for the season at 5-4-0.
The Cougars are back in Big Nine Conference action Thursday when they travel to Owatonna for a 7 p.m. game. East is back home Saturday to host crosstown rival Mankato West in the annual Pack the Stands game at 1 p.m.

The release of EA Sports' latest NHL game has us thinking back to days of yesteryear... long before the Nashville Predators even existed.
How in the hell do you underrate Wayne Gretzky?
As part of a sponsorship with EA SPORTS, how do the current Coyotes match-up against the Winnipeg Jets of 1994 now that NHL 94 mode is back?
Of course, it's in the NHL 94 Anniversary mode, but still, the old organ MIDI music is back and nice to hear. NHL 94 Anniversary Mode takes some getting used to after years of playing modern games, but while it's not the same, the spirit is there.
Kings and Wings, and NHL 94's unmerciful predictions
Ducks @ Kings, Jer commentates on a simulation of what tonight's game might have looked like in 1994.

Sending hacked emails aside, Padma is fairly amateurish. I tend to think she lost a family member in the plane crash, or she's the daughter of one of the terrorists trying avenge him in some way.
If she really is working for the initiative, then I'd be disappointed as there's already too much initiative in this story - I want more on real people. At least they are making fun of it in a way - all very Bondish. I did like that Emily clued in immediately that Crawley was spying on them. She will use that to her advantage.
What REALLY annoys me is the impossibility that someone like Padma - young, never an executive - would EVER be the CFO of a company worth hundreds of millions of dollars if not more. The CFO is in some ways the most important person in a company of that size, and they are privy to every deep dark secret. Nolan may be an emotional mess in his personal relationships, but he's smart in business, so there's no way he should have given someone with no resume and no background check that level of responsibility. And we know how easy it is for him to look people up for heaven's sake. I can see him wanting to trust someone - but not in that position.
Similarly Marco - while it's possible that Marco was at his side when the company was an upstart, at some point in its growth, every tech startup that hits the big time hires a few seasoned executives - they have to. I guess Nolcorp was never public and doesn't have a board (although I thought this was mentioned at some point, no?), because Nolan's choices for CFO would have never been allowed.
As for Conrad - my favourite character these past few eps! - I think his toying with public office is completely realistic. Men with shadier pasts have succeeded, and let's also remember that men like that have such huge egos that they think they can get away with a lot. Keep in mind he hasn't said what office he wants to run for either - could be a simple as mayor of Montauk, or a position in the state legislature, where people often want to support a local guy who's going to look out for their interests. Plus, he's only putting out feelers - again realistic to see what his opportunities might be. Plus he's bored - this is a way of keeping busy, an excuse to stay in the thick of things, and to mess with everybody, Conrad style.
Also, did everyone notice that Stonewall or whatever, that Crawley says is going to be very valuable in what was it? a few months? is a salvage company. Sounds like they are planning another terrorist strike, and want to have a company lined up to do the clean up who is on their side and will help cover up their involvement - and why not make some money along the way when they get the huge contract and triple their value?

Bottle courtesy of Nick at Liquormax poured into a tulip.
This one pours a hazy brownish amber with almost no head, which is to be expected I guess. There is almost no retention and only specks of lacing.
The aroma is big on roasted malts with no hop presence to speak of. I also got a substantial sugary syrup smell as well, with hints of dark fruit and wood.
The taste actually retained a bit of the hops up front, mostly of the earthy variety. Lots of roasted malts with caramel and sugar on top. The finish is very dry with a slight bitterness.
The mouthfeel is a bit thin for me with very little carbonation to speak of. As mentioned earlier, the finish is very dry.
I enjoyed trying this one though I imagine it's a little past it's prime. Either way, good drinking.

On tap at Stone Bistro, 8/14/2008...
Big, bourbon/oak body with extra sourdough/rye bready head. Looks like bountiful imposing stuff.
Powerful sweetness of bourbon, oak, apples, caramel and alcohol...not huge hop aroma - it's slightly grassy and in the background.
Dominant taste is earthy roasted chocolate malt backed with piney hop texture. Still tasting a little tightness.
For something in this weight class it finishes pretty clean. albeit nice and powerful.
Served in an 8 oz. glass this one's definitely a sipper. Earthiness makes me wonder if this one's on the back 9 but still very good.

22 oz. bomber poured between my roommate and myself. Dark brown with slight hint of red and a resilient finger and a half of smooth brown head and thick lacing.
Little identifiable hops have survived the four-year storage, and the malts here are huge. Very aggressive and in-your-face dark maltiness; roasted nuts, somewhat caramel, and even a bit chocolatey.
A little more bitter and much better balanced in the taste than the aroma, with somewhat of a piney hoppiness, though the malts still dominate.
Somewhat thick and syrupy, but still very drinkable. This one definely held up through the years.

On tap at Stone Bistro for RBSG 08. Muddy red color with a modest but sticky tan head. Aroma is of oxidized caramel and some roastiness. Flavors of roasted coffee beans and light cocoa powder, maybe a touch of soft fruit. Not very robust. Easy to drink, light and well carbonated.

Tried this earlier in 2008 at a BA tasting at the Brick Store Pub compliments of an unknown BA- Thanks to whoever brought this! Poured a hazy brown with a still lively head that faded to a thin ring. Smells treacly with some aromas of date and fig. The taste is similar, but still quite rich with date and fig fflavors and slight roastiness that provides a toast like backbone for the fruit. Very smooth and creamy, this is still holding up quite well with no oxiddised flavors detected at all. Nice.

Acquired via trade from Fishdawg71, so a big "Thank You" goes out to him. Poured from a 22oz bottle into a mug glass.
A: The beer is a medium brown color, with a thin off-white head that fades quickly and leaves a thin lace on the glass.
S: The aroma is very robust with roasted nuts and caramelized malts. In the background there's a touch of hops and spice.
T: The taste is malty and kind of sweet in the way that this type beer should be. Flavors of nuts, caramel and maple are the dominant ones. There's a mild hops presence as you would expect. The after-taste is slightly smoky and slightly sweet.
M: Crisp and very smooth, medium body, medium carbonation, finish is slightly sticky.
D: Very tasty, goes down easily, not too filling, good kick, very good representation of style. Given that this is a Stone beer and that it's a brown ale, I was unsure of what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised by how well this beer has held up after nearly 4 years for a style that typically doesn't age well. This is yet another well-made beer by the brewery that does it the best.

Had this on tap at the stuffed sandwich a couple months back and then again from the bottle last weekend at winter storm.
The beer poured a hazy brown/red color. It was more red when held up to the light. The small amount of head that did show up disapeared to nothing quickly.
The smell was kind of subdued but pretty nice. There were the obligatory brown ale qualities like the roasted malts and the sweetness. There was also a touch of caramel. It was a nice smell but it was mild.
The flavor however was still lively and potent. There was a little alcohol but it wasn't overpowering. There was plenty of chewey nut brown flavor as well as a small amount of hops. There was also some bitterness present. Interesting take on a brown ale and it isn't past its prime yet.
Wouldn't mind drinking this again but if I can't I still have plenty of other stone beers that I really enjoy.

On draft at the Stone Storm
Appearance is a murky amber red hue, off-white thin head dissipates, minimal lacing
Smell is clean crisp roast malts, nutty presence, touches of coffee and grassy hops, slight alcohol
Taste is considerable alcohol and roast malts, bitter hops are apparent as is a nice nut flavor, finishes mild and slightly bitter
Mouthfeel is medium-bodied, watery and slick texture, mild carbonation
Drinkability is very good, this is a smooth and flavorful brown ale (I believe Stone's only brown to date!), good malts and trademark Stone hops provide a perfect balance, I wish Stone revisits this style again sometime soon!

Sampled 1-11-2007. Pours a very dark ruby brown with almost no head to see. Nose is caramel, pine tar, and nutty. Flavor is still there, though the alcohol seems to be peeking out quite a bit. Nuts at the start and as an aftertaste as well. It really hits stronger after a few seconds longer. Most lasting palate experience that I can remember off of just one sip. Feel is thick, almost syrupy. Drinkable for sure. Masterfully crafted and seems to still have life left. Never had it fresh, but this seems pretty good without knowing the difference.

Was able to pick this up at the Pizza Port Carlsbad Stone Event. Always sad to drink a beer you know you'll never see again.
Gorgeous brownish-copper color. Small white head. The smell is pure caramel and malt. Not a lot of carbonation, settles into the glass rapidly.
The taste is lovely. Chocolate, caramel, and malt with a tinge of grapefruit hop aftertaste. I don't know if it's the aging, or what, but this beer tastes significantly better than the reviews would lead me to believe. This is particularly astonishing as I don't typically like brown ales.
I could drink this all day. But, sadly, never will get to.

Small pour of this at Stuffed Sandwich in San Gabriel today on my way into LA from the IE during their Stone 11th Anniversary celebration, this was the best tap offered topday, but it changes often
Only 4 bucks for this while a 22 ounce bottle was 23 dollars, not a hard choice
Left with a bottle of 9th Anniversary that I will review later when I decide to open it
Pour was a medium brown and smell nice and nutty
This beer was great with a roasted malt taste that stuck around for a long time
Had no head on it because keg is three years old, but still very very good
Could drink this all day, but it would get very expensive

Pours like a beautiful big brown kodiak bear. Deep down you can still smell that sugary malty smell you get when boiling the wort in your kitchen. Big mouthfeel with overwhelming flavors. Sweetness, bitterness, lingering aftertaste with more of a malty character as you drink your pint down. I remember drinking this beer back when it was released, it has lost a little of it's sweetness, but the hoppy and malty characteristics more than make up for it. It lives up to the stone qualification of an interpretation of a standard classic. If you can get it, drink it.

22oz bottle dated 08/2004 and purchased at Liquor Max. This one is almost two years old at this point. Color is dark brown (what a surprise) and the head is short and white. The smell is a little chocolate. The taste is a little chocolate and then standard boring brown ale. I bet this was really good when it was first released but time may have faded it a little. I was glad to have the opportunity.

Bought at Keg 'N Bottle in Isla Vista a few months ago.
A: Cloudy reddish brown with a 1/2 finger white head that leaves lacing.
S: Smells kind of winey and of raisins.
T: Winey sort of taste, like the smell. Also has raisins, dates and other wonderful flavors. Nice bit of tang to it also. Relatively complex by this point, and quite tasty. Despite the age (and possible bad storing conditions before bought), there is no oxidation.
M: Mouthfeel is slightly on the thin side for Stone, but not so much that it detracts. Finish is on the dry side.
D: Very, very drinkable. Tasty and not heavy.
This has aged nicely. Recommended.

Received in a trade with McAllister. Thanks, dude.
Bomber poured into a pint glass. Pours a cloudy reddish brown - very opaque, no transparency at all. Head is limited, but there is some definite lacing. Smell is interesting - there's some obvious roasted character, a bit of alcohol (even though the ABV isn't high, per say) and a little caramel. This is an excellent tasting brew - roasted up front with a citrusy hop finish. A little swetness in the middle makes this very complex and wonderful. Mouthfeel is nearly perfect - very chewy and memorable, creamy as well. I could drink this all night - great stuff. High recommendation if you can find it.

Pours a great head that lasts until the last drop. The dark brown color is nice too The smell is slightly sour ith very sweet tones of belgian sugar. The taste is very watery and light bodied. There's a slight roastiness with a sweet/sour mix that's not very enjoyable. The mouthfeel is a little less than good. Overall I would never have this beer again.

On tap at Stone Winter Storm
A: Muddy garnett with a full creamy light tan head. With each sip a quality ring is left behind.
S: Vanilla, marshmallow, carmelized brown sugar and powdered cocoa.
T: First sip reminds me of white chocolate liquer. Moves towards a cream soda personality with marshmallow sweetness. Lingering caramel with a milk chocolate character that finishes it off. Overall this beer has a powerful wash of bitterness which blankets the tongue towards the finish.
M: Medium body with a full mouthfeel. Just a touch of carbo sting.
D: Starts off not over powering but almost shocking. The flavors are very aggresive and the bitterness catches you by surprise. As it settles down this beer becomes very good.

Found a bottles of this at a local store. Was pretty sure this place would not have cellared them properly, so I was definitely taking my chances (esp. considering they were charing $10.99 a bomber), but I thought, what the heck:
Appearance: Very cool-looking body. A deep, deep, deep, deep, deep (did I say deep?) brown. From a distance it almost looks like a porter in terms of coloration. Pours with a half-finger head, settles into a thin layer. Lacing is markedly present and decently impressive, dissipating only after a while. The appearance turned out to be this brew's highlight, actually.
Smell: A very nutty, burnt/smoked roast malt aroma is the most prominent aspect of the nose. Unveils a big presence of toffee, a hint of chocolate and molasses, a little chocolate and coffee. Pine/floral quality from the hops are on the back end, with a note of alcohol. Pretty impressive for a brown, certainly. Does not smell, in any event, like the store I got the bottle from spoiled the beer. Yay!
Taste: Roasted malts. Almost a grilled vegetable-like flavor. Bitter espresso, caramel, prune, nuts. The flavor is a little more subdued than the nose, quite frankly. Might be a result of how the beer was kept, but considering I detected nothing spoilage-like in the nose, I don't think that's the case. Pine.
Mouthfeel: Smooth, nicely carbonated.
Drinkability: For being as old as it is, this beer holds up surprisingly well. Still, it's not a particularly exciting one. Considering its style, it has a great complexity of flavors, but it still has the brown session-like quality that makes it seem a little underwhelming for a Stone Anniversary offering. Still, in light of its varied flavor profile, it deserves a try.

First of all many thanks to Tim (Mookow) for letting me know where I could find some of this stuff. Poured from a bomber into a pint glass. This beer is a medium to dark, murky brown color. Mine had a tan head about half a finger thick that settles to a thin layer floating on the top of the glass with a ring lining the inside of the glass. It has some pretty decent lacing. Aromas of malts, dark fruits such as apples or plums, caramel and just a slight hint of sweet BBQ sauce are all present here. It sort of tastes like I am eating a steak with some A1 and/or sweet barbecue sauce, but certainly strong has flavors of malt, sweet caramel, and a hint of dark fruit along with a hint of hop bitterness. An interesting and well balanced taste. Leaves a slightly dry aftertaste and has a hint of salt, like the aftertaste of a steak does. I certainly have never had a beer that tasted quite like this before. I wonder how this beer would have tasted 2 years ago when it was fresh. Has a crisp mouthfeel with mild carbonation. Fairly easy to drink. A good beer, but a bit of an odd one. I wonder how this would have tasted if it had been properly cellared as opposed to (I assume) sitting in a cooler for 2 years. However it was an appropriate choice of purchase since I picked it up on my 24th Birthday and it is the 8th, and 24 is a multiple of 8.
I also drank this again on 4/13/08. Split a bomber I have had sitting in my cellar since December 2006. Split a bottle with my friend Jon Passow. Poured into my pint glass. This beer is a clear medium to dark brown color. Head was about 1/3 inch when poured. Eventually settles to a thin ring lining the inside of my glass. Decent lace. Aromas of some roasted malt and caramel are present along with a bit of nuts. The taste of alcohol is certainly noticeable but not overpowering. The taste is rounded out with a bit of hop bitterness. Has a very crisp and frothy full bodied mouthfeel with moderate carbonation. I must say this has held up very well. I know generally brown ales are not intended to be aged for 3 1/2 years before being drank but this was fantastic! I would love to drink this again and hope to be able to one day. More proof that Stone kicks ass!

A- Thin tan head on a cloudy dark brown body.
S- Toffee malts. Maybe a bit stale smell. Some chocolate also.
T- Some strong toffee and chocolate malts. Some stale taste going on. I think it is past its prime by a year or two. Pretty sweet also. Some alcohol does make it through but nothing big. Bit of a dry hop notice also. It helps balance it a little but doesn't really do anything big for it. I'm not sure if the hops are supposed to be that low of if they have lost their bang over the years (hoping they lost their bang).
M- Thinner body. Maybe it's a very thin medium. Low carbonation but enough to leave a little tingle on the tongue.
D- I think it is past its prime and is nothing amazing, or even to good. It is kind of hard to drink.

Poured out a murky brown beer, with slightly reddish hue around the edge. Compact bubbly off white head dissapears pretty quick. Smells sweet, bbq, caramel, coriander, wood, butterscotch, prailines. Taste is sour cherry, rotting apple, alcohol, pine, smoke, caramel, bunrt sugar. I also not recognise a very strange milk chocolate/yoo hoo flavor in both the nose and the taste. There's a lot going on in the nose and in the body, very complex, don't know if that translates into good. Finish is fairly clean, with a syrupy finish.

This beer tastes fine even though it is 2 years old. It has a nice head and decent retention and a nice rich full brown color.
Smell is of alcohol and caramel malts.
Taste is nice and balanced, not too thick, balance of alcohol and caramel malts. Sweet, some hop balance, but this is a sweet sweet beer.
Mouthfeel: crisp, but not thick.
Drinkability: an easy to drink beer. I'm glad I tried this brew.

I love you Kahn's Fine Wines in Indianapolis. They helped pop my Stone cherry.
Appearance- I immediately noticed a ruddy brown with deep amber highlights. Very, very murky. Good head with a bit of sticky lacing on my glass.
Smell- A instantly think of hop spiced brownies. Mild to deep malts give a hint of chocolate roastiness. Not as much hops as I expected in the nose though. Must have degraded with the aging.
Taste- Starts with a strong mix of roasted malts and slightly degraded hop flavors. Brownies and the resin straight from the citrusy flower. Then a more coffee like note mixed with some herbal notes. The finish is like runby malts with amber tasting hops. Not easy to describe.
Mouthfeel- A little biting considering the aged hopping. Lots of dark flavors to help balance the hops. Bitter finish, but that's ok.

I'm rating this beer based on how well it's held up.
Just slightly hazy liquid with a light white half inch head... Granted it was an agressive pour but I'm surprised this one still has any carbonation left! Very little lacing as expected.
Big roasted toffee nose. Sweet candy scents with a little bit of alcohol and tree bark?
Sweet coffee flavors. Almost like coffee with just a dash of hazelnut added. Very dry finish after swallowing. It's definitely a bit nutty.
It's a bit thin as I would imagine has happened over time. Still pretty good feel to it though.
Overall very drinkable and another great beer from Lee Chase. Many thanks go out to Boolshot for sending this one my way!

This beer was mooched off of the 22oz bomber that timtheenchanta had :).
This beer pours a muddy reddish brown with a thin tan head that dissipates to some thin whisps with little lacing. The smell is sweet with a combination of chocolate and roasted malts along with some pale malts. The taste is porter like at first but also has some characteristics similar to an english mild. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with a nice carbonation complimenting it. Overall a drinkable beer, very interesting, undefinable by style guidlines. Another impressive brew by Stone.

I never thought I'd punish my son by telling him he couldn't brush his teeth. Even this one has me puzzled. What kind of a father am I?
Well, he got permission from the misses to go to the bathroom after getting in trouble and proceeded to brush his teeth on his own. Proud of the little bugger actually. He actually wanted to brush his teeth, not just use it as an excuse to get out of bed/trouble.

Almost every Lakers coach has said it since 1996, with the exception of Del Harris. He was lucky enough to get a young, vibrant Kobe Bryant.
Phil Jackson, in his second tour with the Lakers, wanted to limit Bryant's playing time. So does current coach Mike Brown. Rudy Tomjanovich might have wanted the same thing too, but his tenure was, uh, a little short.

Macular Degeneration:
Enhance Your Quality Of Life And Remain Independent.
While there are a variety of medical treatments available for macular degeneration, doctors are frequently overlooking the patient's visual needs after treatment. Successful treatment may not restore normal vision, but it will prevent central vision loss from worsening.
Over 80% of age related macular degeneration patients have the dry or atrophic type of the disease. The less common, the wet form of the disease is more aggressive and threatening to one's vision.
Medications, such as Lucentis and Avastin, have become the standard practice for the treatment of wet macular degeneration. Although these injections help to prevent the growth of leaky blood vessels in your eye, often you vision will not recover.
Currently there is no treatment for the more common dry form of macular degeneration, and the treatment for the wet form sometimes does not meet the patient's visual expectations. To maximize vision the use of customized advanced low vision glasses for macular degeneration is of great help. These customized advanced low vision telescopes or microscopes glasses allow patients to read small print, watch TV, and some even return to driving.
For more information, contact Low Vision Specialists of Maryland and Virginia at www.lowvisionMD.org

Older Workers Remain Unemployed Longer
The ranks of laid off older workers are swelling faster than those of the young
Older workers continue to enjoy more job security than their younger counterparts. While the unemployment rate for the total labor force was 9.4 percent in May, only 6.7 percent of workers age 55 and older were out of work. But the ranks of unemployed older workers have been swelling faster than those of younger employees over the past month. The unemployment rate increased 6.1 percent for the senior workers, compared to 5.7 percent for those under age 55, according to an AARP Public Policy Institute analysis.
Once unemployed, it is more difficult for people over age 55 to find new jobs. Older workers continue to remain out of work longer than younger employees. The average duration of unemployment was 27.7 weeks for those age 55 and over in May, compared to 22.4 weeks for those under age 55, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. These figures are an increase of over one week for the older age group, but a slight decline for workers under age 55. About 36 percent of the older potential workers were dealing with long-term unemployment lasting 27 weeks or more in May, versus 27 percent of the younger Americans looking for employment. In December 2007, before the recession began, only 23 percent of the older unemployed and 17 percent of the younger were unemployed long-term.
Workers age 55 and older made up nearly 2 million of the approximately 14.5 million Americans out of work and looking for a job in May, according to the AARP. Evidence is mounting that many older workers are continuing to seek work during the traditional retirement years. Among people age 65 and older the unemployment rate was 6.1 percent in May, which is down from a record high of 6.8 percent in February 2009, but still nearly double the 3.3 percent unemployment rate in December 2007.

I made this pie last night, it was absolutely delicious. This pie was easy to make, I followed the recipe very closely, except I added a little bit of melted butter to the mixture and cooked each pie for about 55-60 mins each at 350. I also added a foil ring to the crust so it didn't get too brown. I highly recommend this recipe to other egg pie lovers, it's so very tasty and doesn't have that "too much egg" taste like others.
I put this in a small rectangular casserole dish because I didn't have a water bath pan that would fit a 9" pie plate. Otherwise, the only change I made was to add a little cinnamon and nutmeg. I don't know what I did wrong; but it did not set up and was almost entirely liquid under the hardened top.
this is the best egg custard ever, much better than the shops ones

Is there an Echo in here?
'Earth to Echo' aims to become this generation's 'ET'
It's no secret that all found-footage genre movies are the same. Grab a couple of characters, give one of them a camera, and expose them to something supernatural that's content to lurk just off-screen until the last five minutes. Everything else will just fall into place.
But that formula isn't particularly family friendly, if only because that thing waiting a few feet to the left of the cast is usually plotting their violent doom.
That's what sets Earth to Echo apart from the pack. It, too, follows a group of characters armed with a camera and a tendency to encounter unknown life forms. But all those familiar parts have been rearranged just enough to make it suitable for a much younger audience. > Read more.

---- — Special Town Meeting voters will be asked to support a plan increasing the youth center's footprint, while reordering how it will be built.
In the warrant articles for the Feb. 11 meeting, voters will be asked to amend the vote from 2011 Special Town Meeting so that it no longer references how big the building is. The new proposal is to create a one-story building with a footprint that is 4,000 square feet larger.
The center will cost more than expected in 2011.
The first $2.2 million spent on the project must come from money raised privately by the Andover Youth Foundation. Only then can the $2 million approved by 2011 Town Meeting voters be used. The rest of the money needed to finish the job would also be raised privately by the foundation, according to Nancy Jeton, chairwoman of the Andover Youth Center Building Committee.
"We found out that the building was going to be more expensive than we had anticipated," she said.
To help reduce costs, the committee decided to eliminate plans for a future second floor. Doing so removed stairs and an elevator from the project as well as additional, costly support structures for a second floor, Jeton said. However, the new design has a larger footprint by 4,000 square feet.
With rising construction costs, the cost of the project itself has risen sharply.
"With construction costs, plus a 10 percent contingency, plus the building fees, plus the design fees, instead of being a $4.2 million project, it has become a $5 million project," Jeton said. "What we'd like to propose is breaking the project into two phases. We would go forward with the original funding option that had been approved by Town Meeting voters to build everything but the gym."
In the original vote, residents agreed to give $2 million to the project after the youth foundation paid for the rest of the project first — $2.2 million at the time.
Now, the committee hopes to build 15,000 square feet with $2.2 million from the foundation and the town's $2 million, with the plans to build the gym wrapping up soon after with private money.
The first phase of construction, including most of the building and the foundation for the gym, will cost $3.8 million, according to Jeton. The gym to be built on the foundation will cost as much as $1.2 million, of which around $400,000 in the contributed town money will be used. The foundation would provide the remaining money, expected to be as much as $800,000.
When presented at a Board of Selectmen meeting Monday, the proposal met with some opposition.
"The warrant article that we voted on in December, 2011 is unambiguous: that the town doesn't put up one dollar until the town gets $2.2 million, at least, in the bank," Town Counsel Tom Urbelis said.
To illustrate his point, Urbelis said, with the building costing "$5.5 million, minus the two ... they (the foundation) have to put up the $3.5 million."
In response, Andover Youth Foundation Chairman Diane Costagliola said the agreement between the town and the foundation was that the foundation would provide $2.2 million, and then the town would pay $2 million. The originally proposed second-floor space, now slated to move to the first floor, was to have been built later with foundation money.
The articles also came before the Council on Aging Tuesday night, and discussion there focused on parking and how often the facility would be available for Andover seniors.
Conflicting numbers on how much parking would be added around Doherty Middle School this year put the increase in available parking anywhere from 4 spaces to 41. But for council Chairman Don Robb, it isn't how much parking that matters — it's how convenient it is for Andover seniors.
"We have many seniors who say they can't come to activities during January, February because they can't walk from the end of that parking lot, all the way through the school, through ice and snow," Robb said. "We're talking people in their 70s and 80s. That's an unfair and dangerous situation."
The plan also drew discussion on how much it would be used by seniors. During the meeting, Town Manager Buzz Stapczynski said the facility would be available extensively during daytime hours throughout the school year. He characterized availability during the summertime, when school is out, as "a little tricky."
"Our programs run year round. We don't take summer break," Robb said. "Therefore, the idea that you can use it while school is in session doesn't work for our schedule because we can't schedule around something like that."
The two articles coming to Special Town Meeting — including one to move the building by 35 feet to avoid a wetlands restriction — will both be publicly sponsored by the town after a unanimous vote from the Board of Selectmen Monday.
They also voted unanimously in support of the other article removing size references from the 2011 vote. Both votes came with four votes in the affirmative, with Selectman Mary Lyman absent from the meeting.
Special Town Meeting also will address a funding shortfall facing the Bancroft Elementary School Project. Previous estimates put the project around $5 million out of budget, but some construction bids could come in higher than originally projected. The warrant for the meeting closes tomorrow, Friday. To place a private article on it, 100 signatures must be submitted by 4:30 p.m. to the town clerk's office.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- The American Petroleum Institute late Tuesday reported a 4.1 million-barrel decline in crude supplies for the week ended Jan. 10, according to data from sources. Analysts surveyed by Platts had forecast a decline of 1.6 million barrels in crude supplies. Sources also said the API reported gasoline stockpiles jumped 5.4 million barrels, while distillate supplies fell 1.7 million barrels. Analysts were looking for gasoline supplies to rise by 1.7 million barrels and distillate inventories to climb by 1.3 million barrels. The API data come ahead of the more closely watched Energy Information Administration report due Wednesday.

Sick animals got a little boost from some elementary students who want them to get better.
Maple Elementary School's student council presented a check for $116.80 to the J.B. Ogle Animal Shelter on Thursday. Students raised the money by decorating candy canes like reindeer and selling them to other classes and school staff.
Sarah Green, the shelter's director, and Jeffersonville Mayor Mike Moore visited the school to get the check and thank the students for their work.
Green said it's nice to see children think about the animals that don't have owners and need support from the community.
"It's great to see a generation appreciating the fact that there are animals in need and wanting to help," Green said. "It makes me optimistic about the next generation and the treatment and care of animals. It's really great to see. I don't think kids think about that sometimes or know about the shelter and to come up with that on their own is great."
Green said the money will be used to cover some medical expenses for sick animals at the shelter.
Greta Reel, a fifth-grader at the school, said she and her friends wanted to give to the shelter because some of the animals there need help from people.
"We like animals and we thought it would be a good idea," Reel said. "It feels pretty good. I'm glad these animals will be able to get better."
Heather Hall, a fifth-grade teacher and student council sponsor at the school, said her students sold 255 of the candy canes at 50 cents each.
She said while her students raised a modest amount of money, she's proud to see them come together for a cause they all believe in.
"I just think it's really amazing because we have a very small enrollment," Hall said. "Our school has a high poverty level with high free and reduced lunch. We may not raise the most money in the district, but the money we raise really comes from the heart."

This year in 75 games he had 15 goals and 26 assists for 41 points.
If he keeps this up he won't stay under the radar much longer

Rockland County Legislator Alden H. Wolfe has asked the Acting Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to prepare a supplement to the 2007 Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The EIS was required to measure the impact of the FAA's Northeast Airspace Redesign Plan that developed new flight patterns over the New York, New Jersey and Philadelphia airspace. Wolfe maintains many of the assumptions reported in the EIS did not prove to be accurate.
He stated the impact of NextGen satellite-based navigation technology into the redesign plan was not adequately addressed in the final EIS and changes made to the redesign plan since 2007 need to be measured.
Wolfe questioned the accuracy of the redesign plan.
"For instance, the FAA expects NextGen to increase airport operations and the final EIS established a baseline of aircraft operations at Newark Airport of 451,505 based on actual operations in the year 2000 and then projected a steady increase, annually, in those operations," he stated. "For 2011, the FAA projected 524,140. The actual operations were 417,149. Interestingly, the number of aircraft operations have never exceeded the baseline in any year since 2001."
Wolfe also cited the FAA's original claim that NextGen technology would design new air routes to reduce the noise emissions made by flights by avoiding residential areas.
"Instead," noted Wolfe, "the FAA has admitted that new air routes have been consolidated to maximize fuel efficiency and have impinged on residential areas, generating the potential for new aircraft noise and emissions that were not disclosed in the EIS."
Wolfe said a report filed by the U.S. Government Accountability Office with Congress did not review the FAA's conformity with the Clean Air Act and did not "fully account for future use of new technology in the noise analysis."
"That, by itself," said Wolfe, "is a tremendous oversight."
"Given that and the failure by the FAA to fully disclose impacts from NextGen," said Wolfe, "I believe the FAA does have the responsibility to issue a supplemental EIS."

In Detail
Social media integration in our apps is almost a requirement. Using Phonegap, some plugins, and JSON, we can create an app that consumes Twitter feeds and allows the user to share on Twitter.
"Instant PhoneGap Social App Development" shows you how to create compelling mobile apps that integrate with social media based on Phonegap. The book will show you how to consume Twitter feeds and also share content to Twitter using Twitter Web Intents.
Using code listings and easy steps, this book will guide you through the process of creating a Phonegap app, adding plugins, and using the Twitter API and Twitter's web intents.
You'll learn how to install PhoneGap plugins so that you can extend the capabilities of your application. You'll also be introduced to Twitter's JSON API and Twitter's Web Intents which allow the consuming of feed content and the posting of content to Twitter respectively. Along the way, you'll also learn how to create a cross-platform mobile app that works on iOS and Android.
Filled with practical, step-by-step instructions and clear explanations for the most important and useful tasks. Get the job done and learn as you go. This book is concise and follows a clear, step-by-step tutorial approach.
Who this book is for
You'll need to have a desire to learn about mobile application development. Since Phonegap uses HTML, CSS, and Javascript heavily, it is important to have a good understanding of these topics. You should also have a good understanding of your desired platform and corresponding SDK and IDE (that is, if you want to develop for Android, you should be familiar with Eclipse. For iOS, you need to be familiar with Xcode.)

By Brett Arends, WSJ.com and MarketWatch
BOSTON (MarketWatch) -- Is Mitt Romney for real?
Romney, who may well be President Barack Obama's opponent in 2012, he had great time last week blaming the president for the current jobs shortage.
Speaking to the CPAC right-wing conference in Washington, D.C., Romney said that the dismal employment situation, a year after Obama took office, showed the president was a "failure" who was "going downhill faster than... Lindsey Vonn."
OK, let's take him at his word. Then what does that say about Romney?
The Republican contender was the governor of Massachusetts from January 2003 to January 2007. And during that time, according to the U.S. Labor Department, the state ranked 47th in the entire country in jobs growth. Fourth from last.
The only ones that did worse? Ohio, Michigan and Louisiana. In other words, two rustbelt states and another that lost its biggest city to a hurricane.
The Massachusetts jobs growth over that period, a pitiful 0.9%, badly lagged other high-skill, high-wage, knowledge economy states like New York (2.7%), California (4.7%) and North Carolina (7.6%).
The national average: More than 5%.
This was after four years. So far Obama has been in office for just one year. How was Romney's performance by his first anniversary?
Fiftieth out of fifty.
That's right. In Romney's first year in charge, Massachusetts ranked dead last in America in jobs growth.
What makes this worse for Romney is that he actually ran on a jobs platform. Romney -- who made his fortune building Bain Capital into one of the biggest venture capital firms in the world -- promised the voters of Massachusetts that as governor he'd use his business savvy and connections to bring new jobs to the state.
"I don't have to wait in the lobby to see middle management," he pointedly said during one campaign event. It was a shot at his opponent, state politico Shannon O'Brien.
Romney went on: "There's virtually not a chief executive officer in the country that won't let me in to sit down with them in their office to pitch Massachusetts. And that is what I'll do, inside Massachusetts, outside Massachusetts, outside of our country, to encourage businesses to come grow and thrive in the most robust portion of the economy, Massachusetts."
Net result: 50th out of 50 after one year, 47th after four.
