Barack HUSSEIN Obama – Islam's TROJAN HORSE!!!Tuesday, November 26th, 2013
When you look at a number of Obama quotes, there are some things that should come as no surprise.
"We will convey our deep appreciation for the Islamic faith, which has done so much over the centuries to shape the world — including in my own country."
"Islam has a proud tradition of tolerance."
"These rituals remind us of the principles that we hold in common, and Islam's role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings."
"I made clear that America is not – and never will be – at war with Islam."
"Islam is not part of the problem in combating violent extremism – it is an important part of promoting peace."
Need I continue?
Yes…I believe, to make the point crystal clear…I do.
"That experience guides my conviction that partnership between America and Islam must be based on what Islam is, not what it isn't. And I consider it part of my responsibility as president of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear."
"Throughout history, Islam has demonstrated through words and deeds the possibilities of religious tolerance and racial equality."
"Ramadan is a celebration of a faith known for great diversity and racial equality"
Are you starting to get the picture?
Maybe THESE quotes will help…

Seen in Brooklyn:
The picture says it all! The current production of Shakespeare's Cymbeline at BAM (through March 17 at the BAM Harvey Theatre) is stripped back to basics. An import from the Globe Theatre on London's South Bank, this production was directed by Mike Alfreds (the "master of play"), and features Mark Rylance, artistic director of The Globe. As Shakespeare may have said, the evening certainly was a merriment: a pure joy, with six actors playing over 30 different roles. Dressed all in white, with no costume changes to indicate their different characters (sometimes more than one in the same scene), the actors never leave the stage for the entire three-and-a-half-hour production. There is no set to speak of, just the bare rough walls of the Harvey, with a range of musical instruments for two onstage musicians. When not speaking, the actors sit around the playing area watching the action.
Jenny Tiramani gets credit as "master of clothing and properties," while Donald Holder is "master of lighting." This award-winning lighting designer of The Lion King had a very different set of constraints here, most notably as the house lights stay up for the entire performance (keeping in mind that Shakespeare's merry men played in broad daylight). Holder's spare rig, exposed over the playing area, used very little color while giving the actors a warm, ambient atmosphere. Considered one of Shakespeare's most difficult plays to stage, I personally found that this stripped-back approach allowed the language to become crystal clear. Apparently my sentiments were not shared by all: Bruce Weber in the New York Times reported that critic John Simon stood up during the first act, pronounced the play "unendurable," and left. Fortunately, John Simon is often a jury of one.--Ellen Lampert-Greaux
Seen on stages around town: The Dazzle, at the Roundabout Theatre, is suggested by the story of Collyer brothers, real-life eccentrics who were found dead in 1946 in their Harlem home, which was filled to bursting with debris of all sorts. Playwright Richard Greenberg, who admits in the program that he knows nothing about the Collyers, has imagined their lives in what must surely be one of the most eccentric plays of the season. In Greenberg's telling, Langley Collyer is a poster boy for obsessive-compulsive disorder, a pianist who can't bear to finish a song and who spends the entire day staring at a leaf. Brother Homer is a former lawyer who gives up his life to take care of Langley. The first act, which focuses on Homer's failed attempt to marry Langley to a socialite, plays like a spoof of an Edith Wharton novel, while the second act is a strange philosophical comedy, not that far from something by Anouilh or Ionesco.
God only knows what it's all about, but it is undeniably entertaining, with Greenberg's brilliant direction, and the stunning performances of Reg Rogers and Peter Frechette, as the main attractions. Allen Moyer's gorgeously detailed interior, with painted ceiling and turn of the century furniture, becomes progressively crowded with junk; the scene changes earn many laughs. Gregory Gale has provided Francie Swift, as Langley's fiancée, with some beautiful gowns, using a muted color palette.Jeff Croiter's lighting is carefully stylized to suggest various times of day; he also lights the onstage mountain of junk with strategically placed mini-units. Robert Murphy's sound design provides appropriate amplification for Lawrence Yuman's piano score and also features some very precisely placed sound effects. The Dazzle is definitely in odd one, but Greenberg is one of the best playwrights in America today, and everything he writes is worth seeing.
One Mo' Time, a big hit Off Broadway in the early 80s, has landed on Broadway. The show, written and directed by Vernel Bagneris, is a sort-of musical, sort-of revue set at the Lyric Theatre, New Orleans, in 1926. The Lyric provided black vaudeville entertainment, and the format here consists of a sassy, up-tempo number followed by a scene of comic backstage squabbling, followed by a sassy up-tempo number, etc. etc. The sort-of book features the members of the company feuding with their white manager and each other. None of this is unpleasant--the performers are fine and the onstage band is pretty sizzling--but there have been so many black music revues that the material feels overly familiar and the lack of a real story casts a pall.
Campbell Baird's meticulously detailed set miraculously crowds a proscenium, bandstand, dressing rooms, and even a bit of the neighborhood onto the Longacre Theatre stage, and John McKernon's lighting design suffuses the stage with hot colors and a parade of pink and purple sunsets. (The two designers, partners in real life, have assisted on many Broadway shows and designed for many theatre and dance companies; they are making their Broadway design debuts here.) Toni-Leslie James' witty costumes are equally colorful and full of amusing 20s details, including diamond patterns, tiaras, fans, etc. Kurt Kellenberger's sound design can be muddy at times, which dilutes the effectiveness of some of the numbers. Overall, One Mo' Time isn't a bad show, but it may be an unnecessary one.
The Last Five Years is a song cycle by Jason Robert Brown that tracks a relationship from first encounter to final separation. The structure is ingenious: His (Norbert Leo Butz) version begins at the beginning and goes forward; her (Sherie Renee Scott) story goes backward. Only once do they share a scene, on their wedding day. There's nothing revelatory here--they're a writer and actress whose ambitions drive them apart--but Brown is a hugely talented songwriter and the stars are both electric presences with superb voices. Beowulf Borritt's set is bound to be controversial--it's dominated by a large patio set up for a wedding and stood on end. Borritt comes up with fascinating concepts but this one may be too domineering for this rather small show. Certainly the set poses problems that have not been solved by the lighting designer, Christine Binder. Borritt also did the costumes and the very clear sound design is by Duncan Edwards. The Last Five Years is probably best enjoyed by hardcore musical fans, but it provides further proof that its author and stars are going places.--David Barbour
Seen at the movies: I'm as fond of George Pal's 1960 movie version of H.G. Wells' The Time Machine as the next person. It's definitely a minor classic—emphasis on the minor (after all, the stars are Rod Taylor, Alan Young, and Yvette Mimieux, not exactly the most glittering personages in the cinematic galaxy). Still, there's more than enough room for another Time Machine, and I was looking forward to the new DreamWorks film, which is directed, in a pleasing twist, by Simon Wells, the author's great-grandson. But while it's not a travesty, this version is unlikely to replace its predecessor in many people's affections.
Guy Pearce in his time machine
The filmmakers give their protagonist (Guy Pearce, whose face has become alarmingly skeletal), now a scientist in 1897 New York, a tragic love story as motivation for going first into the past and then to the future: it's a little threadbare when stacked against Wells' larger social concerns. But during its first part the film moves along easily, with charming evocations of old New York (subbed in Albany) by production designer Oliver Scholl, and an appropriately Victorian design of the title apparatus. The first futuristic stop is 2030, where Orlando Jones appears as an informational hologram in the New York Public Library—very amusing. I also liked the old-fashioned time lapses of the city and then the world changing around the machine as Pearce eventually spins 800,000 years into the future. The effect, supervised by James E. Price and accomplished at Digital Domain, honors the original film and remains a poignant demonstration of human insignificance in the face of global change.
More locks on the Morlock
The Uber-Morlock
It's when Pearce arrives in the distant future and hooks up with the dopey Eloi, who live in swallow's nest-like structures on the sides of cliffs (all shot at Warner Bros. Studios) that the movie becomes increasingly ho-hum. True, the first encounter with the underworld-dwelling Morlocks (clad in scary animatronic masks by the Stan Winston Studio) is rather thrilling, and Jeremy Irons, cast as the Uber-Morlock and made up to look like Johnny Winter, is entertaining. But the climax seems rushed and muddled—I'm not one to complain when a movie comes in at an economical 96 minutes, as long as it makes sense. The movie's hard-working costume designers are Deena Appel and Bob Ringwood, and the director of photography is Donald M. McAlpine.--John Calhoun
Heard from London: Lighting designer Mark Henderson took home this year's Olivier Award (the London theatre award) for Best Lighting Design. The award was for two productions, A Midsummer Night's Dream at the Albery in London's West End, and The Playboy of the Western World in the Cottesloe at the Royal National Theatre. For A Midsummer Night's Dream, Henderson says, "We tried to create a mysterious world within a forest clearing, lots of gobos piercing through the haze and through the trees, lots of beams and shafts of moonlight," he explains. "The problem always in the Dream is that Shakespeare has written a comedy at night in a forest, so you have to create the illusion of night and mystery, but keep it bright enough for the comedy to come through. Lez [Brotherston] designed a beautiful set that took gobos and sidelight wonderfully well and with a bit of haze in the air you couldn't really go wrong!" Henderson used a rather simple rig with lots of ETC Source Fours and PAR-64s.
"Happily Playboy wasn't too complex," he continues. "The concept came from the idea that these little Irish cottages are actually very dark inside, the windows are small, and we wanted to feel that it was very bright outside and that filtered into the cottage. The first act was all candle and firelight: very enclosed and claustrophobic and seemingly lit as much as possible from the real sources. By contrast, the following acts were as I say very bright daylight. I used a lot of very low frontlight, very shadowy, keeping the light off the floor and giving the impression that the light was piercing through the small windows and reflecting off the white interior walls."
Like many UK designers, Henderson works on and off the West End. The basic difference, he finds, is the repertory situation, at say The National. "You have to allow for the changeovers to other shows and be able to focus and set your show in the time allocated," he notes, as he hurries back to the drawing board, where he is busy designing the new West End musical, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.--Ellen Lampert-Greaux

TRAVERSE CITY — "It can't be."
That was Traverse City writer Fleda Brown's first reaction in November, when her doctor told her she had metastatic endometrial cancer and would need intensive treatment.
"Members of my family have always lived to be 95 to 100," said Brown, a former Delaware poet laureate and essayist. "I've always had a strong and healthy body."
Her medical treatments began in early December and ended June 18. Meanwhile, she turned to her own self-healing measures: Writing on her blog about cancer in an ongoing series of posts she calls "My Wobbly Bicycle," and a 27-year Buddhist meditation practice that helps her stay in the moment, rather than being trapped in fear.
"This doesn't mean that I haven't felt fear," she said. " I just haven't gotten caught up in it."
Fleda Brown's story continues in today's Body & Soul section.

Breading, the act of putting a slice of bread around your cat's head, has been in the news lately. Check out coverage over at Gawker, Discovery, Refinery29, Neatorama, and even the International Business Times. I am slightly embarrassed to admit that thanks to Taco Graveyard there is now an app for that.
My girlfriend revealed to me that she had been trying to bread the cats, but was unable to get them to sit still and accept their fate. I coded up an app that allowed her to take a picture of the cats and virtually bread them. Steve scanned in additional slices of bread, prettied up the app, and then we unleashed it on the App Store.
You can check out a gallery of pictures created using BreadIt over on our Facebook page. You will see that breading has moved on from cats to just about anything you can imagine.
Update: There is a BreadIt giveaway over at breadedcat.com.

DURHAM — N.C. Central gave the highest-ranking team ever to visit OKelly-Riddick Stadium all that it could handle, but the No. 4-ranked Towson Tigers dominated the second half to pull away for a 35-17 win. Walter Payton candidate Terrance West rushed for just 37 yards in the first half, but exploded in the second to finish with 139 yards and two touchdowns.
The Tigers won their eighth straight game, the second-longest winning streak in FCS football.
Towson held the Eagles to minus-24 rushing yards in the second half to break open a 14-10 halftime lead.
I told our guys its (the game) about us, Towson coach Rob Ambrose said. We made every mistake imaginable in the first half, and we were still ahead. But they are a very good football team: tough, physical and well coached.
N.C. Central quarterback Jordan Reid had a career-high day in passing yards (292) but was sacked six times. The Eagles also converted just 4 of 15 third-down attempts, while Towson was 9 of 15.
Our effort was high, but we have to do better execution wise, NCCU interim coach Dwayne Foster said. They (Towson) made some adjustments in the second half, but our guys fought back. We just didnt capitalize off turnovers when we got the ball back.
The Tigers scored on their first two possession of the third quarter to take a 28-10 lead: A four-play 67-yard drive that West sealed with a 22-yard run, followed by 86 yards on 12 plays that ended with Darius Victor scooting in from the 4.
The Eagles got their first break of the second half when Towson was called for two personal fouls just as the third quarter ended. Reid found Thomas Dixon for a 40-yard strike to pull to within 11.
Towsons second fumble was recovered by Eagles defensive back Ryan Smith, but Reid gave the ball right back with an interception.
Darius Victors 10-yarder gave the Tigers their final points with just under a minute left.
Were not looking for any moral victories, Eagles receiver Marvin Poole said. We know we can play with anybody. We just didnt execute in the second half.
After a scoreless first quarter, the Tigers broke the drought with a 13 play, 79-yard drive that culminated in QB Peter Athens connecting with tight end James Oboh for 9 yards.
The Tigers committed the games first turnover when NCCUs punt hit a player in the back, and the Eagles recovered at the Towson 23. Reid made them pay two plays later with a 21-yard strike to Poole for a 7-7 tie.
Towson struck back with a West 1-yard run before Eagles kicker Oleg Parent hit a 33-yard field goal with two seconds remaining.
Sacred Heart 78, Chowan 35: Sacred Heart scored three touchdowns on defense and another on special teams on its way to a single-game school record for points in Fairfield, Conn.
UNC Pembroke 41, Shaw 20: The Shaw (2-1) defense gave up 533 yards of total offense to UNC Pembroke, falling in the Cape Fear Classic played in Wilmington.
Saint Augustines 35, Stillman 7: AJ Gilford threw for two touchdowns and ran for another for the host Falcons (1-2).

October 14, 2012, 9:31 PM — Judy Klickstein is a cloud believer. As CIO of Cambridge Health Alliance, a midsized healthcare provider just outside of Boston, she's excited about the efficiencies cloud computing can bring to her organization.
Outsourcing management of the hardware can free her IT staff to focus on more strategic projects instead of just "keeping the lights on," while having a common place to store information that is accessed by CHA and other healthcare organizations could make hospital operations much faster and simpler.
But as a health organization, CHA is in one of the most heavily regulated industries in America. She can't just throw all her IT resources up into the public cloud without some considerable due diligence and assurances that it will work, and be protected. So is the cloud ready for organizations like Klickstein's?
CLOUD SHOPPING: Looking to cloud shop? Marketplaces are the new place to do it
FREE CLOUDS: 12 Free cloud storage options
Klickstein is certainly open to the idea of using the cloud, but so far CHA's IT investments, though working with management firm Egenera, have been around optimizing the IT infrastructure behind the company's firewall. The hospital has decreased the number of servers CHA uses through virtualization, and has automated as many processes as possible, including daily backups.
Ninety-nine percent of CHA's IT workloads are done on site, some in a private cloud, while a small amount of analytics involving non-personally identifiable information (PII) about patients is done in Amazon's cloud. She's unsure if public cloud services will ever be ready for the bulk of CHA's workloads. "We're so regulated, I have an obligation, a fiduciary responsibility really, to ensure personal health information doesn't get lost," she says, noting that a recent Boston hospital, the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, faced a $1.5 million fine after a worker's laptop had been stolen.
Security isn't the only concern. She's running IT for a health organization - what if the cloud goes down? Will CHA have to stop seeing patients? What if a doctor is in the middle of a procedure?
At a panel discussion last week outside of Boson, Klickstein joined cloud vendors, users and venture capitalists to discuss the state of the cloud industry and specifically around how the cloud market can continue to mature to meet the needs of organizations like CHA.

on a comment on Who's Above The Law? over 5 years ago
The official statement mistake of law defense was held not to have been established under the particular circumstances of the following case, where the accused's alleged reliance on advice from a county sheriff's office was found unreasonable.
State v Patten (1984, ND) 353 NW2d 30, defendant relied on sheriff and county sheriff attorney
Mistake of law defense is not available to people who rely, even reasonably, on a mistaken statement or interpretation of the law received from a police officer or other subordinate officer.
Stevens v. State, 135 P.3d 688 (Alaska Ct. App. 2006).
on a comment on Who's Above The Law? over 5 years ago
if a cop tells you something is ok, and a lawyer tells you something is ok, and it is NOT ok (i.e. illegal) mistake of law is NOT a defense, and while the Jury may not convict you because they find you innocent, if they did, and you appealed, you will not get anywhere.
Again, if a cop or lawyer tells you that smoking pot in california for medical purposes is not a federal offense, and they misread the laws and should have said state law offense, and you rely on that information, and you smoke pot for glaucoma, and the feds bust you, and your defense is "a lawyer and a cop said it was ok" then the court will look at you and laugh.
Mistake of the law is not a defense. Ignorance of the law is not a defense.
Mistake of the law and ignorance of the law is NOT MENS REA.
Choosing to pick up the joint and smoking it is the mens rea. Whether you did it thinking the feds cant do anything to you is not mens rea, its mistake of the law, which, AGAIN, is NOT a legal defense

So many supplements are only molecules apart from NFL-legal and the legalization issue is gaining strength.
The Journal Sentinel's team of Packers beat writers provide the latest news, notes and analysis
NFL Health series: expert Dave Ellis' warning on supplements
Green Bay - Dave Ellis, a national sports nutritionist, has worked with college and professional athletes for 20 years, first with the college football programs at Wisconsin and Nebraska, and now as an independent consultant based out of Colorado Springs. He creates individualized programs for athletes to determine their best weight based on their frame. But he also motinors what they eat and what they take as supplements.
He tests a couple thousand athletes a year. One of his issues and concerns are all the bad products on the market, like bad dietary supplements.
"We've just got a horrible mess going on, we have too many products making it in to our marketplace that are potentially doping," said Ellis. "They're not labeled and there's no way you could no by the label, they would just have to be tested.
"The sad part is, people could be doping for months and years and until they get busted through testing, they wouldn't know it because it's not labeled on many of these dietary supplements. This industry is absolutely out of control with the number of potential doping products with stimulants or anabolic agents that are not labeled, because they know if you feel it, you'll come back and buy it again. Peddling heroine will get you thrown in jail; peddling doping dietary supplements will get you a nasty letter from the FDA or a fine. At the end of the day, they're making so much money, they don't care."
He said that sports dietitians like himself play security guard to athletes who use supplements. A good dietitian will know what is legal and what isn't. They'll also know what is healthy. Athletes, like the rest of us, are fighting what is aready in our eating environment.
For example, Ellis said right now there are so many stimulants in our food supply that disturb our quality of rest. Add in other issues, particularly with college athletes - not getting sleep, binge eating, alcohol and drugs – and they affect the player.
"They show up to train the next day in a compromised fashion and they're not able to respond to their training," said Ellis.
That's why he does a body composition test on athletes, so see what they need, and what they're lacking.
"It's like when you want to see how old a tree is, you can count their rings," said Ellis. "When you do body comp, you can see how people are responding in to their environment."
When working with an athlete, Ellis determines the ceiling of an athlete to accrue lean mass - based not on generic measurements like body mass index, but for their specific frame.
"Most coaches have a prototypical weight they want their athletes for a certain position," said Ellis. "That might not have much to do with reality and the athlete's actual capacity to carry the weight."
Ellis finds the perfect weight specific to the player by looking at metrics for determining weight carrying capacity.
Hat, hand and shoe size are considered by Ellis to be weaker predictors. He looks at wrist circumference, seated height, length of the trunk in a sitting position, because he saw a correlation there between some athletes who are not that tall who can carry a lot of weight versus people who have a lot of height who can't carry that much weight at all, like an NBA athlete.
Secondarily, there were some characteristics of the trunk that could also be factored in: chest depth, shoulder breadth, breadth of the pelvis and the hips. An athlete with a long trunk with robust characteristics can carry even more weight.
An athlete's race, however, doesn't play much of a factor.
"I just base it on dimensions," said Ellis. "There are, in truly segregated cultural populations, profiles for the typical frame. You will see some trends. I've looked at a lot of that but now there's a lot of mixed race stuff going on out there. It's hard to say OK I'm going to give you the Asian handicap here, or the Hispanic handicap."

I thought the NFLPA would address this and the medical marijuana issue during the last contract dispute.
So many supplements are only molecules apart from NFL-legal and the legalization issue is gaining strength.
How can he " play security guard to athletes who use supplements" when the illegal substances included in products, but not on labels, are only detectable through testing. Does he have access to a lab that tests all of these substances on a constant basis to make sure they aren't tainted. Then you have to stick to specific batch lot numbers. Seems like a big hole in this story.

Medium amber color. Medium white foamy head. Aroma is fruity and sweet. A medium bodied amber. Malts are fruity and sweet. Hops are grapefruity, piney and citrus. This beer is very hoppy for an amber, but it balances the malty sweetness well. An interesting amber, it starts out fruity and finishes very hoppy. Nice beer. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

From BeerAdvocate magazine Issue #63 (Apr 2012):
LOOK: Hazed amber, impressive froth
SMELL: Dried grass, hazelnuts, chalky yeast, faint caramel, faint spice, browned apples
TASTE: Grainy, slightly tart, salty, grassy, citric hop, leafy, caramel, buttery yeast, ripe apples & pears; very dry, grainy finish
More of an old-school Amber Ale that seems to have been lost in translation. Thankfully, we speak Old-World microbrew, and understand balance and nuances are sometimes more important than using immaculate yeast and over-hopping. Nothing earth shattering here, just good drinking.

On-tap at the CIty Pub in Redwood City. On to the beer:
Dark amber colored with a tint of autumn brown. Reasonably lace sticks to the glass as it is consumed. The nose offers toffee and butterscotch notes, and some floral hopping. Fine so far.
The malt in the taste seems light. In fact, the overall taste seems light, but at least it offers complexity. Toast, subtle toffee, esters, touches of tea and floral hops. The beer is light bodied and in parts it seems to get watery.
It's an okay amber ale. Good to wash down lunch, and that is perhaps its greatest strength.

A - Pours a fairly clear red color with a touch of brown mixed in and a finger of frothy tan-brown head. The head fades down at a normal pace leaving behind some lace spots in the process.
S - Sweet rich lightly toasted caramel malts with a bit of citrus hops alongside. There is a touch of bread as well in the background.
T - Starts off with rich sweet lightly toasted caramel malts that have a touch of a syrupy element to them. There is a bit of orange and grapefruit hops alongside with just a hint of bitterness. Through the middle, the syrupy flavor starts to mellow out a bit and a bit more orange from the hops comes through. The finish is a mix of sweet caramel malts and a bit of citrus hop and bitterness.
M - A bit less than medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Smooth with a sweet finish.
D - Very drinkable. Could have used either a touch more body or a bit less syrupy feeling upfront. Could have used a touch more hop as well.

Scent is more like cardboard than barley. Best feature is the nice head and well carbonated mouthfeel. A little on the coarse side. Touch of barley heads toward sour grain very quickly. Fair amount of bitterness. Ends with a tedious dishwatery flavor. I'd like to give this some credit for low alcohol but the flat flavor combined with acidic sharpness is not something I want to return to.

Consumed 12/19 at the brew pub. Review written on a coaster, then transcribed.
A: Murky amber with a thin film of a head, weblike lacing.
S: A hint of hops and malt, but not much going on with the nose at all. Very nondescript, but you can pick up a bit of the hops after tasting it.
T: A fair amount of hops covering the slightest hint of the malt. The flavor is very one-dimensional, and does not finish cleanly leaving a metallic tang. Almost seems more like a PA than an amber...
M: Not much going on here either. It's got the right viscosity but the carbonation was a bit much for me.
D: It wasn't too bad, smooth and drinkable, but I felt it was a bit off for the style. I'm sorry to say it wasn't very memorable.

On tap at the brewpub.
Pours a clear deep medium amber color with a well-formed off-white head.
Aroma is fairly typical for the style: caramel malt and hops. The hops are slightly earthy with a noticeable cannabis presence.
Like many of HMB's hoppier beers, the wacky tobacky is a substantial flavor note here. Sweet caramel malt balances earthy, resinous, and weedy hops.
Medium-bodied, maybe a little on the light side, with average carbonation.
A respectable low ABV amber ale overall. Not amazing, but drinkable.

2.6/5 rDev -17.7%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 2 | overall: 2.5
This is a very standard-style, basic, thin, and one-dimensional amber ale.
Dark amber/copper, it has a medium large, off-white head steadily shrinking to a rich, frothy tring and wisps, with some decent frothy lace.
The aroma is at first orange but this quickyl is replaced by pineapple, grapefruit, whole wheat bread (of the basic, bagged, pre-sliced kind specifically), hint of dusty hay.
The taste is light with a hint of toastiness with light, thin, but assertive grapefruit and an odd plastic-tape quality underneath. It finishes quickly to a lightly but sharply bitter finish that is slightly grapefruity but with little real flavour. There is a faint caramelly-s aftertase under lingering sharp bitterness. Nothing is married well, the character is very light and thin, the feel is thin and watery and overall this is a dud.

2.38/5 rDev -24.7%
look: 2.5 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 2 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 2.5
Appearance: Hazy amber with a small head that sticks around for a minute or so before disappearing.
Smell: Syrupy malt and something slightly funky that I can't identify.
Taste: I wanted to give this beer a shot because it's local to me, and I don't see a lot of microbreweries in this area. This was a bad idea. This stuff tastes like it was made with cheap malt extract - it's totally one-dimensional with some nice metallic undertones, kind of like chewing on a piece of lead. Hops are faint and the aftertaste is fairly clean. I think my first homebrew was better than this.
Mouthfeel: Light-to-medium bodied, it's probably the one acceptable character of this beer.
Drinkability: Pretty light and sessionable if you don't mind drinking beer that tastes utterly mediocre.

2.05/5 rDev -35.1%
look: 3 | smell: 2 | taste: 2 | feel: 2 | overall: 2
The beer pours a dull and hazy amber color. The head is a very small light tan lace. The smell is metallic with hints of a British ale yeast. The malt profile is thin with a sharp hop bitterness. The mouthfeel is weak and the carbonation not quite high enough. Overall this tastes like a medeocre homebrew kit made by a beginner. Less than impressive and somewhat embarassing for a professional entry, do yourself a favor and avoid this beer.

This poured to a nice deep amber color with a nice head that lasted well. It left some nice lace behind too.
The smell seems out of place, it's too fruity for the style. Grains are readily apparent in the taste. The hop profile is strong but very plain. The mouthfeel is a little too sharp to be very good. It's pretty easy to drink.

I was looking forward to going to the brew pub and trying one of their beers on tap. 'Twas good but not great and I was a little disappointed but it definitely wasn't swill.
Poured brownish orange with just enough head on top to bring out the smell. It had an old orange rind and musky smell too it. Not too strong but rather gentle. I had to take a couple of long inhales to just get that. Otherwise, not much in there.
The first taste was also orangey with some lemony essence, too. A little too carbonated for me, at least from this tap. Refreshing but I took a while to drink it because of the bubbles. The meal ended and I wouldn't have minded another one.

01/21/05- On tap at the HMB Brewery.
Presenation- 4 oz sampler (part of a 2 day, 4 sampler binge)
Appearance- The sampler originally was all head. She had to fill it over a minute period. Light lacing and an amber pour.
Smell- Lots of malt and a good amount of hops too. Very fruity smelling.
Taste- A dull fruity taste. Over sweet for me. Hops are lightly piney and fruity. Tastes a bit stale.
Mouthfeel- Nice moderate carbonation that leaves the mouth wanting more.
Drinkability- Maybe got the end of a keg or something. This has potential to be a very good ale. As it is it's pretty decent.

Poured from a colorful 22 oz bomber with a picture of the surf on it. The aroma comes with a subtle malt aroma on top of this clear, rich colored red brew. A lacy and lasting head dwells on top. The flavors are subtle hops with malty esters, some citrus with a crisp lemon to back it up. The hops stand out but it is nothing impressive. It lacks a clear and chewy malt profile for the drinker to taste.

The headline for this brew, is Big Head Retention. This has one of the best head retention's I have seen. Too bad it other characterisitics were average. The smell wasn;t too bad, with earthy tones, hops, some malts, and citrus. This leads into the taste. The taste was very similar to the smell. Nothing out of the ordinary going on. I guess the cool thing about this brew was the kick ass logo.

Oracle Intentions: Move OpenOffice.org to the Community
Oracle announced its intentions to move OpenOffice.org to a community-based open source project and to no longer offer a commercial version of Open Office.
"We intend to begin working immediately with community members to further the continued success of Open Office. Oracle will continue to strongly support the adoption of open standards-based document formats, such as the Open Document Format (ODF)," said Edward Screven, Oracle's Chief Corporate Architect.
Oracle's press release only states that it is their intention to move OpenOffice.org to the community, yet no date was given for when this move would occur; however, Oracle states it is committed to open source technologies and remains focused on Linux and mySQL.

Crusaders Kick Off 2008 Slate at Notre Dame
Thursday, August 28, 2008
Shamrock Invitational - Notre Dame, Ind.
This Weekend's Action: Valparaiso kicks off the 2008 season at Notre Dame's Shamrock Invitational, facing Nevada on Friday, IPFW on Saturday and the host Irish on Sunday. The Crusaders also appeared at the Shamrock Invitational two seasons ago, dropping 3-1 decisions to #21 Notre Dame and #13 Missouri before defeating Idaho 3-2.
Looking Back at 2007: 2007 marked a new beginning for the Crusader volleyball program, which took to the court for the first time in the competitive Horizon League. But Valpo enjoyed similar success to what it had experienced in its first five seasons under Carin Avery, winning 21 matches, finishing in thrid place in the Horizon League standings and advancing to the league championship match.
Digging Into the Record Books: Senior libero Brittany Malicoat made history as well last season, soaring into the Horizon League record book with 740 digs on the season, 161 digs beyond the previous league record. Malicoat also surpassed her previous Crusader single-season record by 65 digs en route to being named the 2007 Horizon League Defensive Player of the Year and being placed on the All-League team. She enters the 2008 campaign just 200 digs shy of Valpo's all-time record in the category.

Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — By Rachel Johnson
The average cost of electricity for a German household has risen by 66 percent since they established a feed-in-tariff (FiT) system in 2000.
A recent opinion piece in this paper suggested that Michigan should look to Germany as a model for future energy policy. The author, Patrick Timmons, pointed to the boom in renewable generation in Germany — last year 25 percent of Germany's electricity came from renewable sources, up from 6 percent when the policy was enacted in 2000.
The FiT system has effectively incentivized renewable generation, but at a cost. To understand the cost, we must first consider exactly how a FiT works.
FiTs are a generic description for a policy that pays a price, a "tariff," for the electricity generated by renewable sources of energy that is "fed" into, or sold to, the grid. The FiT rate is what the person who generated the electricity is paid for the energy they create.
Consumers who generate electricity sell it all onto the grid at the FiT rate, they then buy back their own electric usage at the market rate. The requirement for utilities to buy electricity for as much as twice what they can sell it gets passed on to ratepayers.
Tariffs are not taxes; they are set rates paid for commodities like electricity. Germany's FiT rate is based on the cost of generation plus a 5 to 7 percent profit.
Some might argue that FiTs are worse than taxes. They are government-mandated fees assessed to ratepayers without regard to income. This makes them very regressive; lower-income families who may already struggle to keep the lights on are most vulnerable to rising electricity costs.
At Cherryland Electric Cooperative, we have an abiding commitment to doing what is best for our members. Often, that means defending their access to affordable and reliable electricity. That's why we are so excited about our new community solar project.
The community solar concept works exactly like a cooperative. Interested members purchase shares in a community solar array installed at our office in Grawn. For every share purchased, we install an additional solar panel. The infrastructure costs (racking, installation, etc.) are distributed amongst the participating members. In return for their investment, members receive a return based on the output of the array.
Using a model that has served rural America well for 75 years, we can make solar energy available as affordably as possible. Most importantly, this model doesn't pass additional costs on to Cherryland members who choose not to participate.
Rather than look to Germany for energy benchmarks, I would argue we need look no further than our own backyard. Co-ops are not just products of a proud past. These days, Americans from all walks of life have come to recognize the co-op approach - members working together to achieve price and service benefits - can work for other needs just as effectively as it delivered affordable power to rural Americans 75 years ago.

Portland, OR

I just completed the 8K Shamrock run in Portland, OR while wearing my new Montrail Rogue Racers, the green ones I might add, which was a perfect color for this St.Patrick's day race. Though this shoe may be better suited for a dirt path, I thought I'd try them out in todays race, which was on the rainy asphalt streets of Portland. This ultra light, snug fitting shoe worked out great, with my legs and feet feeling fine. I am not an avid runner, and was worried I might run into knee or ankle pain running in such a minimal trail shoe that hasn't been broken in, but it felt great. I might not of had the fastest time, but I'm content with running 8K just under 40 minutes. The highly breathable mesh did allow plenty of rain in, but that was to be expected.

Get used to bigger government, former Treasury secretary says
- By Jordan Weissmann
- The Atlantic
- November 14, 2012
- Leave a comment
Americans may need to get used to the idea that government will make up a bigger part of our economy in the future, former treasury secretary and Obama economic advisor Larry Summers said today at the Washington Ideas Forum.
At least, they do if they want to keep living in the sort of country they've gotten used to.
Summers tried to offer a dose of realism to the debate over debt reduction and the fast-approaching fiscal cliff, the massive package of tax hikes and spending cuts scheduled to kick in at the end of the year that economists, including Summers, say will plunge the economy back into a recession. Summers argued, as many have, that the final deal the president strikes with Republicans needs to address our long-term debt problems without imperiling the near-term health of the recovery. But he said that policy makers who want to pare government spending back so that it makes up the same portion of the economy it has in past decades -- say, around 20 percent -- are ignoring the hard truth about the ways the world has changed.

A three-year field study conducted by Ohio State University's School of Environment and Natural Resources in partnership with the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRD) has resulted in a valuable collection of research that can benefit the Calumet region. The results of this study will be presented to the public on Jan. 18 from 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant Auditorium, 6001 W. Pershing Road, Cicero. This seminar is eligible for Professional Development Credits/Continuing Education Units, and reservations are required.
The study compared the performance of MWRD's biosolids with the United States Composting Council's certified vegetative compost to determine its restorative qualities in degraded soil. Dr. Nicholas Basta, Professor of Soil and Environmental Chemistry, lead the study.
"Our goal was to evaluate the potential impacts of biosolids and compost application on surface water quality in the Calumet region," explained Dr. Thomas Granato, MWRD Director of Monitoring and Research. "This joint effort grew from a one day workshop in 2008 where members of the Calumet Government Working Group and experts in the field of ecological restoration discussed the state of the science of using biosolids for restoration and reconstruction of degraded land in the Calumet region. Biosolids are a cost-effective resource and are in abundant supply."
Biosolids are nutrient-rich, highly organic material developed through extensive treatment and are a superior, yet less expensive alternative to chemical fertilizer. Biosolids can be used in landscaping, for turf at parks and athletic fields and for agricultural crops. MWRD's biosolids are of exceptional quality based on federal standards and, as a service to municipal and commercial users in Cook County, the MWRD offers and delivers biosolids at no cost.
"Many area golf courses, park districts and communities in the Chicago area are using biosolids to improve the quality of their turf, and farmers in the nearby counties like the benefits of higher yields they receive by using biosolids," said Commissioner Mariyana Spyropoulos, Chairman of the MWRD Monitoring and Research Committee.
Reservations for the Jan. 18 presentation can be made by calling (708) 588-4264. The program and parking are complimentary.
Additional information about the MWRD's biosolids program can be found at www.mwrd.org.

But then, as we learned, this is a woman who's been through so much—poverty, abuse and more—that she can't help but be a force of strength, detailing her history and her presence with warmth and openness and ending our interview with a sincere hug. Lady Saw's seventh studio album, My Way, is out now on her own new imprint, Diva Records. She's earned the monikers.

Kokomo — A Kokomo man, who was driving without a license Tuesday evening, faces an array of charges after he drove his car into the front porch of a south side home while fleeing police.
Carl M. Brown Jr., 32, tried to elude police when he lost control of his car near Main and Firmin streets, police reported. Police initially tried to stop Brown on a traffic violation for failure to yield.
A Kokomo Police Department accident report stated Brown was driving at a high rate of speed when he lost control of his 2004 Chevrolet Impala. The car first struck a tree in front of a house in the 1600 block of South Main Street, then ran into the porch area of the home.
After the crash, Brown exited the car and ran from police. Responding officers located Brown a short time later hiding in some bushes in the area.
No injuries were reported.
Brown faces charges of operating while being a habitual traffic offender for life, reckless driving, possession of a controlled substance, criminal recklessness, two counts of resisting law enforcement and warrants for two counts of failure to appear and a parole violation.
Brown was on parole after being convicted of operating a vehicle while being a habitual traffic offender.

Star Wars fans might be in shock today with the news that creator George Lucas has sold the franchise of Luke, Leia, Darth and Hans to Disney!
Can we expect Mickey vs. Yoda? Sith Lord Roger Rabbit?
The deal continues Disney's quest for total domination of the movie industry (ala The Evil Empire?), having previously bought Marvel Entertainment and Pixar.
The most recent Star Wars movies have been slick events with super special effects, but does anyone else miss the "made in the garage" feel of the earliest movies, with plastic model spaceships flying around? The gritty feel added somehow to the whole adventure.
Lucas, after the $4.05 billion sale, will remain an advisor on future Star Wars movies, but don't be surprised if they have a slightly different feel. Disney knows how to appeal to the broadest possible audience, not the more narrow die-hards who have made Star Wars an icon.
Some other voices on the issue:
