Bought for my Hitachi CF10 table...Posted May 28, 2012
Bought for my Hitachi CF10 table saw. Once set up with the easy to understand instructions, this miter gauge is dead on accurate. Previously I always struggled with making perfectly sized mitered corners at my miter saw with a laser guide - my measurements almost always ended up a micro-fraction off resulting in miter corners with gaps. The Kreg Miter Gauge is worth its weight in gold for it's dead on accuracy both in perfect 45 degree miters and in consistant measurements cut time after time after time. After having my Kreg M.G. if I ever had to replace it, knowing what I know now, I'd gladly pay double it's current price tag.
The most accurate and best miter...Posted March 13, 2010
The most accurate and best miter gauge I've ever had. Took a little time putting it together and adjusting it on the saw but was worth it. The blue color is great.
This miter gauge was just what...Posted December 17, 2009
This miter gauge was just what I wanted. Began cutting smaller more accurate pieces on my table saw and the gauge that came with the saw just wasn't doing it. This is very easy to set up and use. The only problem I had was with the plastic adjusting screws on the bar for the "T" slot. The holes for them were poorly tapped - a lot of metal filings in hole. Had a terrible time getting screws in holes and got one stuck so badly that the head broke off and I had to drill it out and re-tap the hole. Chased all other holes with a tap, then everything was OK. Highly recommend this gauge with a 10/32 tap. NOTE: The instruction manual was not up to date with the enclosed parts (which were better). Easy to figure out but shouldn't have had to.

Washington, DC (PRWEB) July 13, 2014
The PreK-12 Learning Group of the Association of American Publishers (AAP) is launching its first Fall Policy Exchange, a daylong conference offering insights into critical preK-12 education issues - standards, alignment, and student data privacy - for professionals across the learning resource industry.
The new event will be held Thursday, September 11 in Washington, DC.
Developers of instructional materials have a lot to navigate said Jay Diskey, executive director of the PreK-12 Learning Group. Because of the complex and ever-changing developments in politics, we will focus on key issues led by experts to help industry professionals manage their long-term strategies with greater discernment and efficiency.
Important takeaways for attendees include business strategies to deal with the fluctuations in school policy, content strategies focusing on student achievement over local politics, and development strategies to ensure data-driven results without compromised privacy.
Nathan Gonzales, deputy editor of The Rothenberg Report will be the keynote speaker and will provide insights on the mid-term elections.
Other speakers and moderators include Ezra Dodd Church of Morgan Lewis, Maria Fergusun of The Center for Education Policy at George Washington University, Aimee Rogstad Guidera of Data Quality Campaign, and Mark Schneiderman of The Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA).
Sessions include Navigating the Student Data Privacy Jungle, Common Core Implementation: Whats the Future of the Core? and Redefining the Student Data Privacy Conversation.
The event will be held at the Capital Hilton in downtown Washington, DC from 8:45 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Registration and breakfast start at 7:30 a.m. Those interested in attending can register online at http://www.AEPweb.org.

Even though Shady Spring won't be a part of it, the Class AA/A Region 3 tournament could prove to be a lot of fun in less than two weeks.
Greenbrier West won the 36th annual Coalfield Conference Wrestling Tournament on its home floor Saturday, but it wasn't a runaway. The No. 2 Cavaliers scored 183.5 points to edge fourth-ranked Independence, which was second with 178 points.
It was the fifth straight championship for the Cavs.
"That is pretty spectacular in itself," coach Jeremy Tincher said. "That said, the two that matter are still in front of us. It would be nice to win the regional and especially to win the state tournament. I think we are definitely in that conversation."
But Tincher knows his team is not alone.
Independence had four individual champions to West's three. The closeness set up what should be a hotly-contested regional Feb. 15-16 — this time in the Patriots' gym.
"It should be a close region between us and Independence," Tincher said.
Winning titles for Greenbrier West were 152-pounder Malik Boatwright (35-0), 170-pounder Tyler Parker (36-0) and 220-pounder Cody Loudermilk (31-4).
Parker was named Most Outstanding Wrestler.
"Tyler's work ethic and attitude are second to none," Tincher said. "He is wrestling at a pace few people can keep up with. His conditioning is unbelievable."
Champions from Independence were Will Cox (34-7) at 113, Thomas Williams (24-8) at 182, Dylan McBride (31-9) at 195 and Zach Fleshman (36-12) at 285.
Williams defeated his twin brother Trey in the 182 title match.
Shady Spring came close to crashing the party. The Tigers, who moved up to Class AAA this school term and will be in Ripley for regional action in 12 days, was third with 173 points.
The Tigers had five champions: Johnny Forren (31-2) at 120, Tyler Kosut (26-7) at 126, John Duncan (26-8) at 132, Nick Farley (27-4) at 138 and Brandon Stump (33-9) at 145.
Rounding out the top five team scores were Greenbrier East in fourth with 126 points and Wyoming East fifth with 40.
Winning titles for Greenbrier East were freshman Jasiel Kinder (32-6) at 106 and Josiah Solak (32-6) at 160.
Only six teams were able to make the trip because of more snow that hit the region Saturday. The tournament was supposed to be a two-day event beginning Friday, but many schools were not permitted to participate because their counties canceled school.

Child Labour
In Amos 2v6 God promises that He will not turn back His wrath on those that sell the needy for a pair of sandals
But right now there are kids as young as 5 working like slaves. Depending on where you live, while your brothers and sisters might be in school, these kids have been denied the right to be kids
Between 158 million and 218 million children aged 5 to 14 are engaged in child labour thats at least one in six children in our world.
At least 126 million of these kids are involved in hazardous work.
Whether in textile, agricultural or industrial industries whether through a lack of education, forced military enlistment or out of poverty children are being used as a cheap alternative for production.
They are denied the basic rights of education, workers protection, medical care, safe workplace standards and a fair wage. Kids often find themselves with no other option than to work and support their families. Others are kidnapped from their homes, trafficked by gangs and sold as modern day slaves to meet the global demand for cheap labour. These kids frequently use drugs and alcohol to help them cope with their servitude.
UNICEF reports that 12% of Indian children are in the child labour force Thats 135 million children... More than double the entire population of the UK. In some cases an Indian child's income has accounted for up to 37% of total household income.
In Bangladesh 13% of all children aged 5 to 14 work Thats 19 million kids More than the entire population of Chile
45% of all children in Cambodia are involved in child labour.
And in Chad, 53%
But the picture worsens Some studies show that the more severely affected by HIV/AIDS a child is, the more severe the labour in which they are likely to be involved. In Zambia, for example, the pandemic has added up to 30% more workers to the child labour force.
So who will stand up for these kids?
Where are the people... the groups... the organisations with creative ideas to rescue and protect our worlds most vulnerable?

Aquarium Welcomes Underwater Explorer Dr. Eugenie Clark
Legendary "Shark Lady" Will Discuss – "Sea Monsters I have Known."
Chattanooga, Tenn. (March 25, 2009) – Dr. Eugenie Clark may be one of the most remarkable underwater explorers on Earth. Her career studying marine life throughout the world's oceans has spanned more than five decades and taken her in submersibles to investigate the darkest and coldest waters 12,000 feet below the surface.
Her passion for marine science began with a family visit to a nearby aquarium. "I don't think I ever consciously wanted to be an explorer," said Dr. Clark. "I don't think I knew what an explorer was. I just knew that I wanted to study fish. And it was when I went to the old Aquarium at Battery Park in New York, I just thought, wouldn't it be wonderful if I could spend the rest of my life studying fish and actually going into the water with them." So perhaps it's fitting that Dr. Clark will visit the Tennessee Aquarium on Thursday, April 2nd to deliver a thrilling presentation about her award-winning career and possibly inspire others to look at sharks and other "sea monsters" in a new light.
Dr. Clark's shark research earned her the title of "Shark Lady" at a time when very few women were gaining prominence in marine biology. Her 1969 bestselling book, The Lady and the Sharks focused on her role as scientist and founder of the Cape Haze Marine Laboratory, now known as the Mote Marine Laboratory, located in Sarasota, Florida. Dr. Clark remains active as Mote's senior research scientist. Her expertise has been called upon to produce two dozen television specials seen throughout the world including the 1982 National Geographic special, The Sharks, which holds the highest Nielson rating on PBS. Dr. Clark has also garnered numerous awards including the gold medal of the Society of Woman Geographers.
Over the years, Dr. Clark has studied fish face-to-face by snorkeling, hard-hat diving, scuba diving and patrolling for deep water sharks in submersibles. And at nearly 87, she continues underwater studies with a current focus on convict fish, Pholidichthys leucotaenia, a species of reef fish highlighted in Under the Sea 3D. In the IMAX film, audiences observe the curious behavior first studied by Dr. Clark - swarms of juvenile convict fish funneling into the underwater tunnels of their parents to deliver them food.
Dr. Clark's presentation, "Sea Monsters I have Known," will take place in the Tennessee Aquarium's River Journey Auditorium from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. on Thursday, April 2nd. Desserts and coffee will follow with a book signing and optional cash bar. Admission is $20/Member; $25/Non-Member. The proceeds support Tennessee Aquarium's conservation programs. Register online now or call 423-267-FISH (3474).
Join the Conservation Society for an invitation to an exclusive reception with Eugenie Clark, with complimentary tickets to the lecture. Call the Development office at 785-4106 for more information.
The Tennessee Aquarium inspires wonder and appreciation for the natural world. Admission is $21.95 per adult and $14.95 per child, ages 3-12. Each ticket purchased helps support Aquarium conservation programs. The IMAX® 3D Theater is next door to the Aquarium. Ticket prices are $8.50 per adult and $6.00 per child. Aquarium/IMAX combo tickets are $27.95 for adults and $19.95 for children. Excursions aboard the new River Gorge Explorer depart daily into "Tennessee's Grand Canyon." Cruise tickets are $29.00 per adult and $21.50 per child (3-12). Advance tickets may be purchased online at www.tnaqua.org or by phone at 1-800-262-0695. The Aquarium, located on the banks of the Tennessee River in Chattanooga, is a non-profit organization. Open every day except Thanksgiving and Christmas, the Aquarium and IMAX are accessible to people with disabilities.

The Rams have announced that owners Chip Rosenbloom and Lucia Rodriguez have entered into a signed agreement to sell the team to Illinois-based auto-parts manufacturer Shahid Khan, pending league approval.
"Lucia and I are happy and proud to welcome Shahid Khan to the Rams family," Rosenbloom said. "He is a man of achievement who we believe can make a great contribution to the National Football League."
The 55-year-old Khan is the president of Flex-N-Gate Corp., an auto-parts manufacturer based in Urbana, Ill.
League sources told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that Khan will purchase the 60 percent of the team owned by siblings Rosenbloom and Rodriguez, who inherited the franchise from their late mother, Georgia Frontiere, in early 2008. The transaction is subject to NFL rules, including approval by league owners, and the rights of Stan Kroenke's entity as a Rams partner.

TAHLEQUAH — Riding on the back of Justin Hooper's 231 yards rushing on 35 touches the Sequoyah Indians rallied from a 32-12 deficit with a 22-point second half rally that fell just short as the Indians drop a heartbreaker to the visiting Locust Grove Pirates 38-34 in the District 3A-7 opener for both teams Friday night .
"Our kids showed a lot of heart out there tonight," said Indian's coach Shane Richardson. "They fought every snap tonight and could have given in when we were down at halftime but they didn't. They fought back and gave us a chance to win it at the end."
Pirates quarterback Mason Fine engineered a pair of first-quarter touchdowns, one being on the ground the other through the air. He then struck again early in the second quarter and put Locust Grove (4-0, 1-0) up 22-0 with 9:45 left in the second quarter.
Then the Indians (1-3, 0-1) seem to answer a wake-up call when Nick Kingfisher took the ensuing kickoff back 52 yards to the Pirate 41. Seven plays later Hooper trotted in from the 5-yard line and gave Sequoyah some life, down 22-6 with 6:32 until halftime.
Fine and Locust Grove struck again when he connected with Cameron McIntire from 34 yards out. But the Indians wouldn't back down as they gutted out a 12-play 4:49 drive with Tiron RattlingGourd diving in from the 1 and keep the Indians in the game 32-12.
After Hooper scored again with 8:20 to go in the third, the Indians found themselves within striking distance down just 32-18.
"Justin just gets better every week," said Richardson. "He is such a competitor and lifts our offense up."
Then it was Zach Parish's turn to do some work for the Indians in the fourth quarter. Parish found Caisen Green from 24 yards out to pull within 38-26 with 5:15 left.
RattlingGourd recovered the onside kick and once again the Indians were in business at the Pirate 47. Parish marched his troops down for the Indians second score in a two minute span. This time he connected with Green from 31 yards away to close within four points, 38-34 with 3:44 left in the game.
"We challenged our kids at halftime to show some heart and hook up and they did with that rally," said Richardson.
One last onside kick was unsuccessful, then with 1:55 to play, Parish and the Indians were unable to muster a final drive pinned at their own 8.
"We missed some opportunities out there tonight," said Richardson. "We dropped some passes, we missed some open receivers, we missed some tackles. But we played a very good football team tonight."
Former Muskogee head coach Matt Hennesy, in his third season at Locust Grove, was happy after his Pirates held on. His team matched last year's victory total with the win.
"I am proud of our kids," he said. "They have come a long way from where they were two years ago and to come in here and play at team like this and pull out a win says a lot for them."

A metro high school gathered Thursday night for a big unveiling. Thomas Jefferson High School in Council Bluffs finally has a statue of the founding father. It's made of bronze.
The statue represents the end of a big community fundraising effort and was the idea of a former teacher.
If people would like to go check out the statue, there will also be an open house Saturday afternoon.

This was my introduction to Heavyweight Brewing and it was not a good one. I simply did not like this beer one bit. It was somewhere between a Belgian and a Barley Wine but came out tasting pretty bad. Smell was nice at first (apple, sweet) but become very medicinal and metallic after. The taste was very medicinal as well. Kind of like dates with cough syrup. The pour was a dark copper/amber. Like a deep apple cider. I would not drink this again.

Pours a murky amber/brown color producing a thin bone-white head. No lacing noted. Nose of earth, spice, dark fruit, yeast, candy sugar and some oxidized wet cardboard notes unfortunately creep in (old bottle I suspect. No dating observed on label). Mouthfeel is a tad syrupy, but smooth with a pleasant, fine carbonation. Somewhat scattered, confused, but interesting flavors of ripe fruits, banana, yeast rolls, roasted malts and plum with a strange underlying tart sourness. Finish a bit quick and fleeting. OK, but one bottles enough.

Murky, reddish brown topped by a thin wisp of tan head with a rocky ring. Minimal short-lived lacing. It smells of candy sugar, fruit, licorice, with crystal malt sweetness and a bit of burnt malt. The flavour is all over the place - waves of ripe fruit, roast, sweet malt, and tartness come and go. Notes of cherries and red grapes also appear. There's also a bit of alcohol (with some warmth) in the finish, along with some saltiness. The body is on the heavy side, but this may be partly due to fairly low carbonation making if feel a little flat. Slightly slick texture. This beer sure kept me guessing throughout. Not everything worked that well for me (like the carbonation/texture combination), but there were elements that I really liked (fruity tartness appearing between other flavours). Definitely an interesting beer.

12 oz bottle served in my trusty Delirium tremens glass.
Pours a murky brown color that has a lot of haze and clouds, with a small, but standing, head of tan/cream.
Immediate smell of salt, and - honestly, soy sauce. This is the third beer that I ever tried that had this taste to it. I am not sure where this came from either, very very strange.
Taste - first sip - soy sauce, maybe tamari, with hints of figs and a brown malt flavor that does not come through in a very appeasing way. I am not sure the bottles I had were fresh, or possibly stored correctly. However, due to the timing of me trying this, coupled with the availability of this beer - this is the best I could do.
If you are looking to try Heavyweight, this is not the beer you should search for first. I am a firm believer of Heavyweight, and really love many of their beers. I wish Tom and Peggy the best in their new endeavors - but, can not recommend this beer as your first Heavyweight experience.
Great company, great people - not this beer though.

8/12/2005 $2.00 12 oz. 8.20% No best by date.
From the distinctive snub nosed Heavyweight bottle, this beer pours a deep opaque mahogany with minimal carbonation that leads to just a thin wisp of white on top.
Subtly sweet with a burst of alcohol and an odd musty scent that is offputting.
Can you say oxidized? At least I hope that's the reason this tastes as it does. Grapey and acidic with an odd alcohol/fruit finish. Down the drain with my $2 you go

Poured a murky dark copper hue with a one finger creamy head. There was decent retention and lacing.
The smell was a combination of black cherry, prune and an earthy yeast. There was a definite Merlot element to the aroma as well.
The taste starts off with an acrid red wine taste, but almost immediately mellows to a dark malt biscuit and a mildly spicy fruitiness.
The mouthfeel is on the lighter side, which was suprising.
Drinkability is not this beers strong point. Not my favorite style, but I can appreciate the quality of this ale.

poured into pub glass in 2 pours. Appears thin, but not watery, medium brown with burgundy tints, thin beige head that is gone very quickly, very light lacing. Large sediment.
Smells very strong spicy alcohol, almost too boozy of a smell. Has earthy,musty smell with the presence of figs/dates, allspice, and clove.
It has a moderately strong spicy alcohol taste, very creamy and buttery. Tastes much better than it smells. The alcohol presence is a bit strong on the backtaste, but not offensive. It has a taste that reminds me of a nice tawny port wine with some coffee taste. Nice mouthful. I really didn't expect it to cling to your mouth like it does, especially for a strong ale. The taste and mouthfeel improved significantly with the yeast pour. Much more rounded flavors and smoother.
I would gladly try more of this, but I think this is a one at a time type beer that needs savored and not for fast drinking. I'm not sure if this is really 100% true to style, but I thought it was quite good.

Blood orange with a dark bronzy glow, a truly gorgeous color. A few busy streams of carbonation can be seen wending their way through the particulate-filled beer to the creamy, dense cap above. Eventually, the head resembles melted butter pecan ice cream (without the pecans) and deposits a good bit of lace in a blurry rings pattern. Note: when the glass is empty, the lace pattern resembles actual lace.
The nose doesn't immediately blow me away, but it's a good one and is complex enough to get the job done. It's moderately dark malty, fairly spicy and smells almost as much like a weizenbock (without the banana) as it does the stated style. A little more power would bring the various elements into greater focus and into greater relief relative to one another. Good, not great.
Baltus O.V.S. tastes like a sweeter, less spicy version of some of the great Belgian BSDAs. It's definitely good beer, but it doesn't have the layers of depth and complexity that I crave in the best of this style. It may seem counterintuitive, but for me, great Belgian-style beer needs to have strongly individualistic notes to its flavor profile that also combine seamlessly into a beautifully symphonic, harmonious whole.
Never mind what it does wrong, what does it do right? Plenty, that's what. As with many Heavyweight brews, it tastes like a combination of styles that works out well, rather than messily, in the end. I have to give the brewery credit for pushing the envelope and succeeding more often than not. The beer is both sweet and sour and is fig and date fruity with a light sprinkling of allspice; all of it resting on a sturdy brown ale base. Delicious.
The body either needs to be bigger, in which case the restrained amount of carbonation would be perfect, or the mouthfeel needs to be more lively, in which case the lighter than expected body would be perfect. Still though, what has been provided is perfectly in keeping with the 'goodness, but not greatness' of the beer in general.
Baltus O.V.S. is an enjoyble, slightly offbeat, Americanized BSDA. It won't make me forget some of the otherworldly versions that hail from the country after which the style was named, but I'm enjoying it immensely all the same. I hope that the rumors of the brewery's demise are greatly exaggerated because it'd be a damn shame if Baltus and the rest of the always interesting, often extraordinary Heavyweight lineup were no longer available.

Poured at the correct temperature, but into a pint glass rather than proper glassware (because I had no idea what style it was and didn't bother to look it up!) Cloudy, light brown -- actually a fairly unique colouring. Orangey highlights, and a smallish head that fades with not much lacing.
Smells typically Belgian, although the sour fruit is a bit more prominent than usual. Fruity or flowery hops, mildly roasted malts, and maybe a bit of toffee.
Taste is quite tart and sour. Unexpected, and I'm not sure if I liked it (but that might have just been because it was unexpected). Some citrusy hops, upfront maltiness, and strong yeasty/doughy flavours rounding it out. Decent mouthfeel, but a sweet, malty aftertaste that I didn't really like.
Not something I could drink a lot of at once.

12 ounce bottle poured into a Brooklyn snifter glass.
A - A hard pour produces an opaque, dark reddish brown with a very thick off white head on top. Laces the glass very nicely.
S - A bit crazy here. A bubblegum smell seems to be leading the way folloed by a lot of candy sugar and a yeasty character. I;m not crazy about it but the aroma leaves me intrigues as to the taste.
T - A lot going on here, but I;m not liking this one at all. A lot of pure sugar/bubble gum tastes leave this one tasting like a mix of a saison and a really bad hefeweizen. Too much bubble gum and sugar with no real balance. It's hard to place any more flavors here but I really think this beer falls off huge here.
M - A nice amount of carbonation and smoothness, still the taste is really not there in my opinion.
D - I gues it's just not my style but to me this beer is a hodgepodge of flavors that have no balance and don' meld well.

Pours a super cloudy brown, huge off white head, sticky lace all over the glass. Smell is sugary sweet, brown sugar and molasses, raisins/dates, chocolate, citrus, an orange spice aroma similar to Orval. Taste is sweet and citrusy, brown sugar and raisins, with orange peel and spice, some iron and chocolate. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, highly carbonated, it spewed forth from the bottle after it was cracked, but very tasty. Thanks sammy.

This is a nice offering from HBC. Deep courdoroy brown, no head very little lacing. Dried fruit and cranberries kep this beer real. This beer reminds me of a highly alcoholed beer from Delaware (no names), but better. Rasians and brown sugar make this sweet on the palate.
Considering the ABV this beer presents, I find it very drinkable. Alcohol is nicely balanced in the beers malt body.

poured a deep ruby-copper color with only modest tannish head that soon dissipates to only a slight ring. Smell is very malty, with pronounced dark fruit noted. Roasted grain also present. Taste is very dark and fruity (raisins, plums) and thoroughly enjoyable. Alcohol is extremely well hidden. Finish is suprisingly smooth and tasty. A very well-made beer that I will definitely revisit.

This beer is colored dark brown with little carbonation and only a faint head. The foam does not hold nor does it leave behind much lacing. I can smell: plums, dark fruit, and roasted malts. Very interesting, but way too powerful as opposed to subtle, which in my opinion leads to greater exploration of the beer. The alcohol taste is upfront followed by a bitter spice taste. My throat was very dry after just a few sips which probably has to do with the alcohol content of this beer. I enjoyed this beer but it has too much of an alcohol taste upfront to have a high drinkability score.

Bottle provide by my buddy, Sulldaddy. Thanks again for the opportunity to try something new. Pours a half finger tan head over a very cloudy (murky?) brown orange liquid. Well, it's a belgian dark, so I stirred up the sediment and into the glass it went. Smells like a belgian dark. Chocolate, molasses, candy sugar, some alcohol, butter, toffee. Delicious. Tastes sweet and chocolate to start with an unexpected sour cherry then jumps in. Some alcohol burn with brown sugar and molasses, but that sour keeps coming back. An unpleasant distraction, actually. Late, I get a hallow caramel, iron, and dry dry cocoa. The finish is dry with tiny acrid carbonation on my tongue. The sour persists into the aftertaste, as does the tiny bubbles forming on my tongue. Md body and mild, but sharp carbonation. Minimal lacing on the inside of the glass. Dumped the last couple gulps so I can move on to an IPA.

I got this as a single at the Northeast Taproom in Reading. No date on the bottle or label, but with this beer it doesn't matter.
Pours a slightly hazy dark amber with a one finger head of cream colored foam. The head drops to a coating and a ring, with decent lacing. Slow, soft carbonation rises to the top.
Aroma is at first phenolic, then dark, fruity, rich malts. Dried plums, pears, apples. Spicy. The phenolic smell disappears quickly.
The first taste is dark malts, quickly followed by alcohol heat. Then the fruitiness comes through. Dark, dried fruits like above, dark candi sugar, spices like black pepper and cinnamon. This is a yummy beer! Aftertaste is sweet and heat, with dark fruit overtones. The phenolics are here, but really muted.
Mouthfeel is lip-smacking sweet and smooth as silk. Carbonation is soft and makes the beer feel luxurious in your mouth. Finish is sweet and heat. (duh!)
At 8.2%, this will knock your dick in the dirt. But the way this beer tastes, you won't really care after two or three. Highly recommended.

Much malt and some hops on top of a sourness discovered in the Heavyweight products I have had so far. Cocoa and coconut and candy sweetness.chewy yet not yeasty. An experiment yet a cross-bread. Worth having the one time. Taste average and does not disguise the alcohol.

8.2% Alc. by Vol.
unfiltered and bottle-matured
No date (was stored here for a few months)
Appearance slightly opaque dark amber body; very light carbonation rising through the life; pours to a finger-thick, light cream colored head that dissipates quickly to nothingness; lace is non-existent
Smell cherries blended in coconut cream with a bit of alcohol
Taste toasty, table sugar, bit of caramel, ripe dark red cherry; bit dry, tart grape skin with a touch of sweetness in the aftertaste
Mouthfeel good burst of carbonation at first sip; rather full throughout in the top half of the glass when colder and leaning toward a medium/full body when warmed as the glass empties
Drinkability the closing tartness isnt a big detractor; the aftertaste is certainly pleasant; not too dry; flavor is a nice adventure; the feel is a carbo bomb on the tongue just after cracking it open
Recommendable when looking for a Belgian Dark. There are some worthy components. Certainly give it a go.

My favorite of Tom's beers, I miss it now that it's a seasonal. But I do have some laid away for those snowy days!
This beer pours a cloudy chestnut color with lots of fruit and alcohol on the nose. The palate follows the same pattern with a fruity, bready, warm flavor. I have had this beer 1 day old and 3+ years old. It only gets better with time. The alcohol profile smooths out over the aging but is still up front.
The Belgian/English hybrid is quite evident as it doesn't favor one end of the spectrum more than the other. The Belgian yeast gives it that candi sugar flavor, but the English malts favor the Old Ale style.

This is a very yummy beer. I wasn't expecting the fullness this beer offered. Gobs of lacing and a thin layer of very fine bubbles cover a rich caramel colored brew. The smell is mostly candi and some alcohol but the taste is divine. Full body and superb balance! Indeed the bitter sweet I get on the tip of my tongue is smoothed over by a wash of malty sweetness. I will be looking for more of this in the future as I have only this one bought as part of a sampler.

12oz. bottle poured into a snifter. It pours a deep deep amber color with one finger of head. There is minimal lacing. The smell is sweet, fruity, and slightly tart. Sour grapes and cherries reign supreme. The taste hits hard. I knew this was 8.2%, but I just wasn't ready for it. There is some sweetness present, with a bit of honey and some cherries. The mouthfeel is fairly thick and strong. The drinkability suffers some from the alcohol. Thanks to Kev for sharing this interesting treat.

The beer pours a dark ruby red/brown color with a one finger offwhite head that fades to lacing. The aroma is good. It has a wonderful malty scent that boasts of pale and crystal malts along with some Belgian candy sugars and a fruity yeast aroma. The taste is awesome. It has a very complex palette. First it starts with a smooth and creamy malt flavor that goes down easy with a slightly earthy feel. Next, it finishes with a fruity, tart Belgian yeast taste. It is full of flavor and excellent mouthfeel. It is a full flavored beer with adequate carbonation. This is a fine Belgian dark. It has tremendous flavor and aroma; a good drinker.

sampled as part of 'heavyweight night' at moan and dove
funny that im the last person to review this since my opinion has changed so much over (what appears to be) a short period of time.
looks great. opaque, dark orange with a sizeable, wafty head. aroma is all over the place with candi sugar. what the f*ck? last time i drank this (albeit from the bottle) it was malty and icky dark roasty chocolatey.
according to the brewer, the change with this 2005 version is westmalle yeast instead of a la chouffe yeast.. doesn't make sense to me (i like chouffe much more than westmalle) but hey, good choice!
taste is wicked smooth, light banana and crisp fruitiness. dubbel breadiness and freshness.. licorice finish. delicious beer. wish i could have had this all night, but was in it for the sampling. the standout beer of the night and something that must be experienced from the GRAVITY CASK.

After a sheriff's deputy shot and killed their unarmed father as they watched, the two young daughters of Marine Sgt. Manuel Loggins were falsely imprisoned and isolated by police for 13 hours before they were released to their family, according to a claim filed by survivors of the dead Marine.
The family also alleges in their claim that Loggins was lawfully sitting in his car and making no threatening movements when Deputy Darren Sandberg shot him to death on Feb. 7.
Allegations in the claim differ substantially from the narrative after Deputy Darren Sandberg shot Loggins in the parking lot of San Clemente High School at about 5 a.m. after he crashed into a gate.
(See the full text of the claim in the PDF attached to this article.)
"That's classic false imprisonment," said . "They were intentionally secreted away."
Dunn said the girls were told only their father was at the hospital, Dunn said, though OC Fire Authority spokesman Marc Stone told Patch shortly after the shooting that Loggins died almost immediately.
Also outlined in the claim was that Loggins was shot multiple times -- "at least two, maybe three," Dunn said.
The claim was filed naming Sandberg and the Orange County Sheriff's Department on behalf of Loggins' wife, Phoebe Loggins, four children identified by initials, and the estate of Manuel Loggins.
"At no time ... did Sgt. Manuel Loggins Jr. pose any reasonable threat of violence to the involved deputy, nor did he do anything to justify the use of deadly force against him," the claim states.
The claim reads that Loggins made, "no aggressive movements, no furtive gestures and no physical movements which would suggest to any reasonable deputy that he was armed with any kind of weapon, or had the will, or ability to inflict substantial bodily harm against any individual."
The claim cites faulty actions, faulty training, faulty hiring, faulty supervision that led to the shooting, and claims a host of other damages, such as assault, violation of civil rights, wrongful death, false imprisonment and others.
The claim, which Dunn said he sent out to the department today, is the first step in civil litigation. The family in the document claims damages in excess of $10,000 "within the unlimited jurisdiction of the California Superior Court."

Letter to editor
The Duncan Banner
To the Editor:
As I come home from work each morning, I meet the school busses on Beech. They are not half-full. Why do we need more busses? Fill the older one.
Remodel the old school building on the inside, then work on the test scores. As a parent, the scores are more important to me than how the outside of the building looks.
I disagree that more than half of the houses in Duncan are $50,000 or less.

Delaware has 689 historic places, 13 historic landmarks and now one national monument. President Obama created five new national monuments Monday, including the first one for Delaware and the 400th unit of the National Park Service.
First State National Monument (Delaware was first to ratify the U.S. Constitution) includes several colonial sites, starting with Dover Green, where the legislature met to make its historic vote in 1787, and the New Castle Court House, where the then colony voted to separate from Britain.

Cranford is getting "greener" every day, and according to a report released by the Environmental Commission, the efforts have just begun.
The Cranford Environmental Commission recently released its Annual Report for 2011. The report lists many of the initiatives that the organization and the business community have completed in the past year.
"We are very proud of our accomplishments this year, believing that, in a small way, they have enhanced the quality of life and the environment in Cranford. We are very grateful for the support of the Township Committee, in particular our liaison, Ed O'Malley," Commission Chairman Nelson Dittmar said.
The principal projects in 2011 were the Green Business program, the Anti-idling
campaign, the creation of a website called My Green Cranford, and the Clean Energy Program. The website serves as a resource guide for residents for issues relating to the environment, energy-savings ideas, and environmental events. There is a resource page with links to helpful green websites. Visitors have the option to sign up for the e-mail newsletter, which offers monthly tips and news.
According to the annual report, Cranford was certified as a Sustainable Community in 2010 by Sustainable Jersey, a statewide program that encourages communities that want to go green to pursue local initiatives and actions that will control costs and save money. So far, more than 350 communities in New Jersey have registered for the program, of which only 96 have been certified.
"Working with The Green Team, we continued some of these programs, including the Green Business recognition program, which recognizes businesses for taking actions that benefit the environment while being economically beneficial. Twenty businesses were certified as being green and received certificates of recognition from the mayor," Dittmar said. "We also offered to residents plots in the Community Gardens at Walnut Avenue School."
According to the annual report, the commission also joined the fight against the proposed Birchwood Avenue development project. The group submitted a letter to the NJ Department of Environmental Protection on Dec. 21 concerning an application for a flood hazard area permit by the developer, S. Hekemian Group, to construct 360 apartment units in a flood-proned area on Birchwood Avenue.
The commission also took steps to raise awareness about the environmental dangers of idling vehicles, Dittmar said.
"To raise resident awareness about New Jersey's vehicle anti-idling law and the health dangers of idling, we purchased 52 signs urging residents to turn off their vehicle engines when standing. The signs were around town, including at all schools," the chairman said.
Another initiative that the Environmental Commission took on last year involved the Clean Energy Program. This program encourages residents to take actions to save energy such as switching to compact fluorescent light bulbs and purchasing ENERGY STAR qualified products. During the year, residents took the Change The World, Start with ENERGY STAR pledge at www.energystarcranford.2ya.com.
Public buildings in the township also benefitted from the Environmental Commission's efforts in 2011, Dittmar explained.
"As part of the Sustainable Jersey program, we obtained a grant for an energy audit of the Community Center in 2010. During the year, one of the recommendations of the audit report to install light and motion sensors in the hallways and meeting rooms was implemented," Dittmar said.
The commission also met with Superintendent of Schools Gayle Carrick and representatives of the school district to discuss the possibility of implementing a townwide composting program.
"As a result, 12 55-gallon composters were built and placed at the schools. Students are learning about the appropriate kitchen waste to compost," the chairman added.
In the fall, the commission turned it's attention to leaf removal, urging residents to forgo the use of powered leaf blowers and rake leaves on two designated Saturdays. The Rake For The Planet program was endorsed in a resolution by the Township Committee.
The chairman said the commission was pleased with the efforts of residents and businesses in 2011 and is hoping to continue working toward a greener Cranford in the coming year.
"I am looking forward to continuing many of these programs in 2012 and starting new ones. We make presentations to community groups about the Clean Energy Program and energy-saving ideas," Dittmar said.
Anyone interested in joining the commission can email the chairman at email@example.com. To read the full annual report, visit the website at www.mygreencranford.com.

Information provided by and written by Samuel Nadell.
Three current and four former swimmers from have qualified for the 2012 Olympic Team Trials that will take place from June 25 to July 2 in Omaha, Neb.
The seven swimmers are Sam Metz (Class of 2010), CJ Smith ('11), Max Grodecki ('12), Reed Malone ('13), Jack Mangan ('13), Samantha James ('12) and Riley Hayward ('13).
"I was pretty excited because it's such a privilege. It's something that a lot of swimmers work towards in their swimming careers and so it's a pretty big accomplishment. But, it's also a privilege to get this opportunity," said Smith, who swims at the University of Minnesota and will be competing in the 400 and 1500 meter freestyle events.
At the conclusion of the Olympic Trials, 26 men and 26 women will be awarded the highest athletic honor – to represent the United States at the 2012 Olympic Games in London.

Fastest Meet in America
"The Olympic Trials is a special meet. It's the fastest meet on American soil," Metz said. "It's a lot different than your typical U.S. Nationals because everyone goes. None of the big names are missing. Everyone is there."
Metz, who currently swims at the University of California, was on the 800 yard freestyle relay team that placed second at the 2012 NCAA Division 1 Men's Swimming and Diving Championship meet. California has won back-to-back National Championships.
At the Olympic Trials, Metz will be competing in the 200 and 400 meter freestyles, 200 meter breaststroke and 200 meter IM.
"I think it says something about the program overall. I think it says something about the New Trier Swim Club, the girls program, the boys program and how those work together and are able to produce, not only Olympic qualifiers, but really are able to work with and coach kids of all abilities to the best they can be. Certainly Olympic qualifiers," New Trier Boys Swimming and Diving head coach Mark Onstott said.
New Trier, a Swimming Community
On the women's side, James, who signed her letter of intent to swim at the University of Virginia, will be competing in the 100 and 200 meter backstroke events.
"I really would like to see myself get best times in both events," James said. "Just do the little things right and see how far I can push myself."
Hayward, at age 17 just finished her junior year at New Trier and will be representing the New Trier Swim Club in the women's 100 meter breaststroke.
"I really couldn't believe it. I didn't think I was looking at the right lane until I heard all my teammates because they were cheering on the side. They were all going crazy. It took me a second to process it all and soak it all in," Hayward said about her reaction to qualifying for the Olympic Trials.
"I think it speaks highly of the level of swimming in our community. It's not the first time that we've sent student-athletes to Olympic Trials and it certainly won't be the last," New Trier Girls Swimming and Diving head coach Mac Guy said. "I'm really proud of them."
IHSA State Champs
All seven qualifiers won Illinois High School Association state championships for New Trier.
"All of us our pretty close. All the alumni from the New Trier swimming organization are extremely close. We all talk to each other; whether we are going to the Olympic Trials or not," Smith said. "Everyone is pretty supportive of what the other person is doing, so it's very exciting for everyone."
Metz talked about New Trier's swimming philosophy and how it has created a model of excellence.
"It's kind of a created culture of success where you go and work hard, because that's what everyone's doing and then you swim fast. That's just kind of how it works. I think it's a reflection of the hard work of the coaches and the swimmers. Not only the swimmers who are going, but the swimmers who came before us, whether they were seniors when I was a freshman or ahead of some of these guys who are still in high school. I think it's just a total team thing, much more than the seven people. It's a really great team culture," Metz said.
Grodecki, Malone and Mangan were a part of the 400 meter freestyle relay team that set a national high school record this past year. Grodecki will be swimming at the University of Wisconsin in the fall and is competing in the men's 50 and 100 meter freestyle and the 100 meter backstroke events. Malone will be competing in the 100, 200, 400 and 1500 meter freestyles and 200 meter butterfly and Mangan will be competing in the 100 meter backstroke.
"My main goal right now is to take in the whole experience. It's my first time ever going, so I just want to have fun," Smith said. "But on the swimming side, I also want to swim a couple personal bests and hopefully crack the top 16 in the 1500 free. Compete at a higher level and a level that I believe I can compete at."

The Express-Star
A group huddled within the walls of the Grady County Veteran's Memorial on Nov. 11 to celebrate the lives of those who were willing to sacrifice their own.
In addition to veterans and their families and friends, students from Pioneer School were also in attendance.
Sherri Lewis, of the Oklahoma Veterans Recognition Committee, acted as Master of Ceremonies for the event. She shared a quote that she said resonated with her reasons for recognizing veterans.
"A Veteran is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a blank check made payable to the Untited States of America for an amount of 'up to and including my life,'" she recited to the gathered crowd.
Grady County has a high number of veterans and others involved in the military.
Grady County, Lewis said, has more military per capita than any other in the Untied States.
The Grady County Veteran's Memorial has the names of Grady County's Veteran's etched onto its walls. It is located on the west side of Shanoan Springs Park.
A Veteran's dinner was served at the Chickasha Elk's Lodge #2125 after the ceremony. Afterwards, the residents of Shanoan Springs Residence Center welcomed attendees for a meet and greet within their facility.
To have the name of a veteran added, Lewis said to contact Chickasha Monument Company at 405.224.5003. Applicants must be Grady County residents, born and/or raised within the county or when in service. If family members do not have a DD214, other proof of service is required.

Minnesota's 2014 National Distinguished Principal: Michelle Krell

MESPA 2014 Rock Stars.
MESPA members selected 12 of their peers to receive the
2014 MESPA Division Leadership Achievement Award
. This is an annual recognition with which principals honor their peers. Principals are responsible for a school's instructional, school culture, and resource leadership. The award honors principals whose exemplary leadership and sustained efforts have made noteworthy contributions to the operation of effective school learning programs -- improving education, their communities, and their profession. The awards were presented on February 6
at the annual MESPA awards banquet.
Michelle A.M. Rosen
, assistant principal of Fairmont Elementary School in the Fairmont Area Schools, is Minnesota's 2014 National Outstanding Assistant Principal.
MESPA and the National Association of Elementary School Principals (NAESP) present the prestigious award. "I know that everyone from parents to bus
Michelle Rosen
drivers, custodians, students, teachers, and community members all play an integral part in ensuring the success of our students," said Rosen.
Rosen has revamped and expanded the district's early childhood program; it now has received a Parent Aware 4-Star rating, the highest possible. "My goal is to get people to know that we are an E-6 school supporting learning for life," said Rosen, 'and to have the Fairmont community embrace the idea that lifelong learning starts at birth, never ends, and is for everyone. As an administrator of the Fairmont Area School District, I want people to know that I will do everything I can to enhance the learning of all."
From the Outside In:
While there are many distinctions between schools and businesses, some of the most obvious may be that businesses operate for profit and control the raw materials they receive to help ensure the final product meets expectations. Not so with public schools.
Debates abound about whether schools can or should be run like businesses, or whether schools perform best when drawing strictly from educational experiences, methods and innovations.
In these dynamic times, the most improved outcomes
will likely result from a variety of public and private models and experiences.
Educators themselves are best qualified to synthesize, evaluate and apply educational methodology.
