In a year where so much is at stake and the candidates are neck and neck, party talk dominates many adult conversations. Don't leave the kids in the dust — keep them in the know with their own stash of political reads. Grace for President ($11) What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Geared for children ages four to eight, Grace for President is a lively tale of a young girl destined to lead her classmates even if it means enduring a tough campaign! You go Grace! 1 / 6 If I Ran for President ($7) What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Perfect for introducing the electoral process to youngsters, If I Ran for President explains campaigning, voting, speaking and handshaking to elementary students in a fun and inventive way. Tots aged four to eight will certainly find some humor (and education) in this story. 2 / 6 Madam President ($12) What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Madam President reinforces the idea that voting a female into the highest elected office is not out of the question. The cute tale follows a budding politician who dreams of wielding her powers on the playground, in the cafeteria, and in other areas of play. A great read for preschool to elementary aged tots. 3 / 6 Barack Obama: Son of Promise, Child of Hope ($12) What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Nikki Grimes tells the childhood story of presidential candidate Barack Obama in Barack Obama: Son of Promise, Child of Hope. She tells of the inspiring challenges he faced as he grew up as a biracial child in Hawaii, Chicago, Indonesia and Africa. Along the way, he learned how to hope and make changes to better his community. Older elementary age students will enjoy the read and the illustrations. 4 / 6 My Dad, John McCain ($12) What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Written by his daughter, Senator John McCain is portrayed as the great American hero by Meghan McCain in My Dad, John McCain. Detailing his childhood, military dedication and his role as a family man, the book highlights the Senator's accomplishments. The story is geared toward children aged four to eight. 6 / 6 Goodnight Bush ($10) What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A parody of Margaret Wise Brown's classic Goodnight Moon, Goodnight Bush is a tale that wickedly tells rhymes of the Bush administration. Not particularly suited for children, my guess is it will easily become a collector's item. 6 / 6 0 0 0 0 0 Read More Music And Books For KidsElection 2008PoliticsBooks Music and Books For Kids 10 Ways to Get Kids to Turn Off the TV and Read This Winter 1/24 How to Make Potty Training Easier 1/21 I Have a Dream: 5 Books to Teach Tots About Martin Luther King Jr. 1/20 13 Age-Appropriate Books For Young Gifted Readers 7/17/13 Read Between the Lines: 10 Classic Kids' Books With Delightfully Subversive Subtext 6/04/13 14 Award-Winning Books to Add to Your Kids' Library Lists Today 1/29/13 BlairBear 5 years We already bought the Obama and McCain books, haven't gotten to read them yet but hopefully soon, we like to keep them informed!

Cavalry scouts are an elite group of soldiers capable of performing a multitude of complex and diverse missions. When called upon by a higher authority they become a force multiplier and the "one-two punch" a commander may need to accomplish a tough mission.
Soldiers assigned to 2nd Squadron, 1st Cavalry Regiment, attached to the 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, Combined Task Force Raider, along with the 2nd Kandak, 2nd Brigade, 205th Corps of the Afghan army, recently completed an extremely tough and delicate retrograde mission which included the lawful transfer of authority of the Village Stability Platform Naw Bahar from coalition forces to the 1st Kandak, 2nd Brigade, 205th Corps, ANA and Afghan local police forces. The mission took place in the Naw Bahar district, Zabul province, Afghanistan, Jan. 15-20.
This multi-unit mission took a lot of time and precise planning to execute.
"This was by far the biggest mission I've ever had to plan," said Maj. David Fulton, the 2-1 Cavalry, 1ABCT, 3rd ID, CTF-R operations officer and native of Yucaipa Calif. "This operation involved multiple American units and several different Afghan army units, along with two different ALP units."
Maj. Fulton added, "Additionally during the planning phase of this operation, intelligence on enemy activity was presented by the intelligence officer of the 2nd Kandak, 2nd Brigade, 205th Corps, ANA and it was spot-on and confirmed much of what we expected."
While mission execution was far and above what everyone expected, the 2-1 Cavalry, 1ABCT, 3rd ID, CTF-R commander was extremely pleased at the performance of both his soldiers and the ANA.
"We spent a lot of time preparing for a mission like this prior to deploying here," said Lt. Col. Charles "Chuck" Lombardo. The St. Louis native is the commanding officer of the 2-1 Cavalry, 1ABCT, 3rd ID, CTF-R. "My soldiers executed this mission with precision, and the ANA did more than their fair share. As a matter of fact I was very impressed with their discipline and professionalism."
Lt. Col. Lombardo went on to state, "Several times we had to call on them [ANA] to assist in dealing with the local villages and village elders along our egress route."
While the ANA performed exceptionally well, the praise they received did not come from Lt. Col. Lombardo alone.
"The ANA in this area has excellent leadership," lauded 1st Lt. Aaron Zakarison, a platoon leader assigned to A Company, 2-1 Cavalry, 1ABCT, 3rd ID, CTF-R and native of Pullman, Wash. "They performed well above what I expected and they interact well with my soldiers."
With the conclusion of this retrograde mission the ANA are now firmly in control of VSP Naw Bahar and have proven their mettle in actual combat operations.
Cavalry troopers of yesteryear were highly valued for their mobility and "can-do" attitude. The scouts assigned to 2-1 and their attachments have paid homage to that rich heritage by partnering with foreign forces and executing a complicated mission with few complications.

Introduction to the Cooler Master CM Storm Sentinel Advance 2 Gaming Mouse
When it comes to gaming you need every advantage you can get. A faster rig, low latency internet connection, a good keyboard with easy to reach macro keys and quick flexes are just a few of the things that can give you the luxury of fragging with the best. But none of these is more important than a good mouse. The mouse is what gets you from point to the map to the other. It's what allows you to aim with extreme accuracy. It's an extension of your right hand when it comes to gaming.
Cooler Master has had good success with their series of gaming mice. Even in my household we CM mouse connected to every machine. My system has the original Sentinel Advance, my laptop has a Choiix unit connected to it and my wife has the Spawn. Yes, Cooler Master has us all covered.
Cooler Master has released a new mouse which is actually an upgrade to the Sentinel Advance called the Sentinel II. The new model takes the form of the older brethren but does have a more advanced laser sensor. The new Avago maxes 8200 DPI for greater quickness and accuracy.
CM's take on the Sentinel Advance 2
Contains the latest Avago sensor that is capable of over 8000DPI. It brings much higher sensitivity and accuracy at all DPI levels. Low DPI gameplay is much easier with its ultra low lift off distance. Multiple color, DPI, profile, and macro settings await you to assist in making the most of your gaming experience. Change DPI settings, profiles, and more on-the-fly with buttons dedicated to the task.

Tapatilla's deadly striker Oscar Padilla got things going with an athletic run past numerous defenders and, against all odds, put one in the back of the net in only the second minute of the first half. The Soccleats, embarrassed by their cold feet in the game's dawning moments, found redemption soon enough when striker Marcos Bernard retrieved a beautiful through ball from Joe Solomon and slid it past a diving Tapatilla goal keeper in the sixth minute, leveling the game at 1-1.
Tapatilla had many opportunities, sliding in and out of The Soccleats defenders, but couldn't find the net. Solomon made phenomenal athletic runs down the wings and nearly put a few past the Tapatilla keeper, but just couldn't finish.
Jenny Carlson, center midfielder for The Soccleats, had a standout game terrorizing the Tapatilla defenders and midfielders with numerous runs on goal, but the always solid sweeper for Tapatilla, Cesar Arreola, was there to close the door time after time, maintaining the 1-1 tie through the first half.
Both teams came out firing on all cylinders in the second half, but it was Tapatilla that would get the go-ahead goal. After a defensive mix-up between The Soccleats' right back and sweeper, the ball bounced through an open midfield and onto the foot of Meno "Ronaldinho" Pena. With brilliant poise and skill, Pena maneuvered his way through what was left of The Soccleats defense and poked the ball under the goalie's arm into the back right netting, giving his team the much deserved lead.
But The Soccleats were not ready to roll over. Solomon chased down a ball no one thought retrievable and was able to level the score at 2-2 with a no angle shot from the six-yard box past the prone goalkeeper.
With only 13 minutes remaining and the tension between the teams building, play picked up. Both defenses and goalies were put up against a barrage of shots and through balls, but the offenses couldn't find the sweet touch they had been scrounging for all game. Then, after waiting all game for the perfect opportunity, Padilla was able to box out his defender and create enough space to give his team the go-ahead and ultimately winning goal. After a brilliant ball from Arreola, Padilla faked as if he was going to take the through ball out of the air, but with a little magic and a beautiful touch was able to bamboozle the defender and puncture The Soccleats' defense one last time and put away the game-winner, making it 3-2.
Solomon had a few more opportunities than goals, but nonetheless played a phenomenal game and did all he could to try and reel in the streaking Tapatilla team. After the game, Arreola noted, "That… is how a soccer game should be."

The African masks that inspired painters like Picasso in the early twentieth century were only a small part of a larger cultural context and spectacle. The festivals of Canton Bo, located in the dense forest region of Southwest Ivory Coast, centered on the spirit forms of ancient ancestors who appeared in post-harvest festivals wearing carved masks and full-body coverings of straw, animal hide, textiles, and paint. Until the 2002 Ivory Coast civil strife, the Bo people invited the spirits each year to protect their village against unknown threats and to stimulate fertility for both women and crops. With such protection and fertility, the whole community would prosper. Through rare drawings and photographs, along with masks from the Peabody Museum collections, Masked Festivals explores the different kinds of masked spirits and their performances.

Flower Loom
This is one of the best craft products you will ever come across and if you've never used a flower loom before you could quite easily get addicted! The basic premise is that you can make "flowers" or "rosettes" by winding yarn round the pegs of the loom. You then stitch through the yarns on the loom, which holds everything together, pop the whole thing off and you have your flower. The beauty of this loom, unlike rigid flower looms, is that the pegs are interchangeable so you can create four different sizes and each of them can be round or square.find out more

Pondering Christmas...
As we celebrate the birth of one of the world's great religions, it is time to reflect on the meaning of that foundation.
The words in the Bible that are attributed directly to Jesus seem to have missed the ears and mind of today's so-called Christians. Where are the concerns and empathy for the poor today? Where is the love for the Samaritan or "other"? Where is the love? Where is the peace? Those were the emphases of the message of Jesus. Today they are but a distant and strange story, a cute little story that nobody seems to want to relate it to today's greed and insensitivity and war-mongering.
Today's son of a carpenter might have to rely on food stamps or other assistance, and the society that surrounds him would look down on him and pass all kinds of negative judgments.
Today's outside immigrant, like the Samaritan, would be unaccepted by the society. Yet Jesus, by example was caring and a friend. What would Jesus say about today's immigrants?
Perhaps nothing would be more criticized by the Nazarene than today's greed-mongers. It is absolutely amazing that the rich and powerful use all their power to ask for more benefits while denying them to the poor. How can you possibly equate that to Jesus? Yet many of these same greedy rich today wear a Christian halo proudly. Nauseating.
Imagine, the richest nation in the world spends billions of dollars preventing equal health care for all of its citizens. Imagine Jesus stating, "Sorry, you do not have adequate health care insurance." Imagine Jesus telling his followers that one-payer systems for health-care are not fair and democratic. Imagine a health care system that is different for the haves than the have-nots. A Christian nation? C'mon.
Do you see any of the loving, compassionate, empathetic Jesus in today's Washington, D.C? The lobbied Congress persons who are bought and sold to keep things from the needy and given over to the rich show absolutely nothing related to the message of Jesus.
And the fundamentalist Christians who chastise today's poor and needy by telling them to do an HONEST day's work, might want to tell the men and women who sit in the House and Senate to also do an HONEST day's work.
As you listen to today's messages from Christian leaders, please reflect on the words and actions of Jesus. And try to maneuver your way through a muddled message that is bought and sold by the have's to confuse you. Try to reflect on democracy as preached by the Nazarene. Try to reflect on what is represented in the humble crib of the Baby Jesus. Cathedrals, Vaticans, gold altars, concocted vestments, bigotry, selfishness, greed....all rampant in today's power groups...are out of sync with a manger, a poor young virgin, and a loyal carpenter.

You've been there. You're up late one night trolling job boards and in between travel ads the perfect job opportunity appears. You hear the heavenly hosts cheering you on and rush to update your resume.
But before you add your latest and greatest skills and accomplishments, your brain interrupts with the job seeker debate: Should your resume be one page or two? The answer, dear job seeker, is-it's all subjective.
Google this topic and you'll get 100 different sources with 400 different pieces of advice. The truth is, we've been conditioned by the old-school tradition of the one page resume. But the current digital age (where resumes aren't always submitted on paper anyway!) has blazed a trail of new opinions.
That said, there are a few good rules of thumb to consider when deciding if a +1 should accompany your resume.

Get an Answer Already! How to Deal with People Who Won't RespondBy The Daily Muse | Work + Money – Wed, Jul 3, 2013 4:59 PM EDT
Get an answer
Do you ever feel like you're shouting into a black hole when you send an email or leave a voicemail for someone? You put your request out into the universe-and then sit at your desk with your fingers crossed, hoping for a timely response.
Thanks to my job in the PR world, I've seen it all when it comes to unanswered messages. I've managed correspondence with CEO clients (a.k.a. the perpetually busy ones), the executives and legal teams of my clients' clients (a.k.a. the ones who think I'm not important), and the media (a.k.a. the ones who don't want to deal with PR people). And along the way, I've learned a lot about how to get answers when you need them.
No matter the cause for the delay, here are some tips for getting those busy (and yes, annoying) slow responders to pay attention.
Make the Connection
First and foremost, when you connect with another person, you must give him or her a reason to want to help you.

How to (Really) Help a Friend Job SearchBy The Daily Muse | Work + Money – Wed, Jul 3, 2013 4:53 PM EDT
When you find out that one of your friends or family members is job hunting, your first instinct is to leap in and save the day. Whether that means proofreading cover letters, conducting mock interviews, or just checking in to make sure she isn't getting discouraged, you want to be as supportive as possible. But while your heart is in the right place, your constant help and advice may not be exactly what she needs right now. After all, job searching can be incredibly frustrating and tiring-especially if advice is coming at her from every direction. So how can you support your friends and family without being overbearing? From the way you act on a daily basis to the general advice and assistance you offer, here are a few dos and don'ts to keep in mind.

Stay-At-Home Parent? How to Kill it on Your Comeback ResumeBy The Daily Muse | Work + Money – Wed, Jul 3, 2013 4:42 PM EDT
You've been busting your rear for the last several years. Your multi-tasking skills? Second-to-none. Ability to handle adversity and problem solve? Top notch. Project management capabilities? Exceptional. You've got a gazillion amazing skills-this is indisputable. The problem? Many of your talents have been refined over the past few years through your most recent job as a stay-at-home parent. And while no one is going to argue that your job is among the hardest on the planet, your "at home" time can present serious challenges as you prepare to venture back into the 9-to-5 workforce. How the heck do you market yourself when you've not held a "real job" for several years? How do you hide the gaps in your career chronology? How do you convince a corporate employer that, in spite of your hiatus, you're excited and ready to work-and that you're the ideal candidate for that position? Don't panic.

How to Ask Stupid Questions (Without Sounding Stupid)By The Daily Muse | Work + Money – Fri, Jun 14, 2013 2:39 PM EDT
Ask stupid questions
Ten months.
That's how long I evaded making coffee at my first corporate job. Until that point, I'd been riding on the coffee-making coattails of my co-workers, making sure I was never the one who emptied the last few drops from the industrial-sized carafe.
Then, one day, the spout sputtered into my empty mug, and I had to suck it up and ask an embarrassingly easy question: "So, how do you brew a new pot of coffee?"
And no matter your level of experience, you're bound to encounter a similar situation at some point. Whether you never learned how to use a mainstream program, you don't quite understand something your co-workers can do effortlessly, or you've just entered a completely unfamiliar industry, you'll have to ask some "stupid" questions, too.
But while everyone will tell you "there's no such thing as a stupid question," you still want to phrase your inquiries in a way that helps you come across as capable and confident. So if you've been holding back on yourRead More »from How to Ask Stupid Questions (Without Sounding Stupid)
3 Strategies for Keeping Your Cool at WorkBy The Daily Muse | Work + Money – Fri, Jun 14, 2013 2:31 PM EDT
Level-headed at work
You get a rude email from a co-worker.
You read it once and start to feel annoyed, then you read it again, just to make sure. Yes: It's obnoxious. So, you hit "reply" and start dashing out a response to set the record straight, feeling your blood rise with every keyboard stroke.
Sound familiar? Whether it's getting angry with an annoying colleague, getting frazzled by a problem in a project, or just getting frustrated by little speed bumps in the day, there will be times when something minor grates on you in the office. And, like me, your first instinct may be to get angry, to snap, or to react.
But there's a better way to handle these moments. First-of course-don't send emails when you're upset. But more importantly, you have to relentlessly remind yourself to keep a level-headed perspective on the job.
I know-easier said than done. But next time something gets to you, try one of these three simple techniques for staying cool, calm, and collected.

The 7 People You Should Befriend at WorkBy The Daily Muse | Secrets to Your Success – Tue, Jun 11, 2013 4:31 PM EDT
People to befriend at work
When you don't quite know your way around the office-or heck, even if you do-it's good to know people in high places.
But by "high places," I don't necessarily mean the executive suite. While buddying up with the CEO probably wouldn't hurt, there are a few other well-known office archetypes who can really help you out.
So, when you're kicking off a new job, seek out these seven officemates-stat.
1. The Human Snack Machine
You know the feeling: It's 3 PM, you're starting to get the "maybe that rice cake wasn't enough for lunch" shakes (or the "a client just yelled at me for 20 minutes straight" need for stress-relieving indulgence), and you're a quarter short for anything in the snack machine.
This is precisely when it pays to know that guy in the marketing department who keeps a drawer full of candy-and is willing to share in exchange for a few minutes of office chit-chat. (Just make sure to occasionally offer treats in return or contribute to the snack fund!)

4 Sneaky Ways to Determine Company Culture in an InterviewBy The Daily Muse | Secrets to Your Success – Sun, Jun 9, 2013 11:12 PM EDT
When you're looking for a new job, you don't just want the right position-you want the right culture fit: An office that matches your laid-back vibe, your work-hard-play-hard attitude, or your uber-creative personality. A team that supports your love for collaboration, your do-it-yourself spirit, or your desire to have a great mentor. Sure, you could do good work anywhere-but if the attitudes and predispositions of the workplace feel like second nature, you're more likely to hit the ground running (and to be happy there for the long haul). But unfortunately, you can't just ask "Can you tell me about the company culture?" and consider yourself covered. Much like you tout your best self in an interview, the person you're interviewing with is putting his or her best foot forward-and you may hear a canned response that gives you very little insight. So, your best bet is to ask questions that (okay, sneakily) give you the real details about what it's like to work there. Try these four toRead More »from 4 Sneaky Ways to Determine Company Culture in an Interview
Moving On: How to Quit Your Job with GraceBy The Daily Muse | Secrets to Your Success – Sat, Jun 8, 2013 4:20 PM EDT
Quit Job With Grace
You've finally decided to quit your job-congratulations!
Maybe you landed a great new gig and you're moving on to greener pastures. Or, maybe you hate your boss and-let's be honest-can't wait to stick it to him with your two weeks' notice.
But whatever the situation, quitting your job can be awkward and uncomfortable-and if you don't have a clear plan of action, you might end up burning bridges and sacrificing valuable references down the road.
So whatever's pushing you out the door, exit the right way: with grace, class, and preparedness. If you're not sure how to make the big announcement or navigate your last two weeks, don't worry-I've created an easy three-step plan to guide you through it.
Step #1: The Set-Up
First, set a firm date for your last day of work. Make sure to give yourself enough time to tie up any loose ends and train your replacement, if necessary. In most states, you're not required to give two full weeks' notice-but as a professional courtesy to your co-workersRead More »from Moving On: How to Quit Your Job with Grace
4 Ways to Go Above and Beyond at Your JobBy The Daily Muse | Work + Money – Tue, May 28, 2013 12:46 PM EDT
Above and beyond at job
Every classroom had one. First hand raised, the right answer to every question, and a perfectly painted solar system science project to top it all off-the token overachiever.
And while you may have scoffed at his or her overreaching ways, let's be honest: Whenever the teacher had a special assignment, reward, or treat to give out, it usually went to that one kid who always went above and beyond.
Turns out, the office isn't much different. When you want to prove your worth (e.g., during your first week on the job or while you're gunning for a promotion) you'll want to be that person. Of course, you don't want to be that annoying person, drawing attention to yourself for the sake of showing off-you want to demonstrate your value by making a genuine impact on your team.
So, how do you do it? To get you started, here are four ways to go above and beyond at work-without going over the top.

Very dark brown with a crown of tan foam. Looks good. The initial aroma coming off of this beer is alluring, so I'm wrapping up with my appearance review.
Sweet milk-laden coffee with a liqueury quality, robust earthy malts, beefy dark roast, floral sweetness, and a hearty mash. Nice coffee nose with a classic porter backbone.
Much thinner in flavor. Dampened by some age, the malts are bland and a bit dirty. The coffee is weaker, and seemingly has grit. This is not composed anymore. A porter, unraveled.
Medium body and medium-soft carbonation. Could use a little more air to elevate the feel.
I wish this could've held up. Not sure about the initial release date, but it couldn't have been that recent. This might be marvelous when fresh. Extra quarter of a point for what I don't know.

Poured from a 650 ml bottle into a snifter.
A: Black. Pours a 1 finger, foamy, brown-white head. Settles fairly slowly. Leaves a smattering of foam on the surface. Solid beer ring lacing. Head renews fully with each pour.
S: Roasted espresso, bittersweet dark chocolate, and oak chips.
T: Charred grains, espresso beans, and unsweetened dark chocolate. A little peat character.
M: Thick and hearty. Feels a little shallow. Slightly bitter finish.
D: Sip and enjoy.
Atmosphere is good. Dark hue, nice foamy head, and persistent lacing. Nose is coffee and roasted malt. Charred grains, roasted espresso, dark chocolate with a little peat. Overall, this is a really good quaff.

I gave this all 5s because I cannot imagine a better glass of beer.
I ordered this at a small tapas restaurant in Dover, DE. When I say the mouthfeel was "perfect" I note it was not typical for a porter (large bubbled, slightly watery finish) but more of a stout.
The 12 oz. pilsner glass was gone quickly, especially after my wife and daughter each snuck a taste. I eagerly ordered another.
The bartender turned to the tap and started to pull my beer. All of a sudden, he stopped after perhaps 3 oz. The keg was empty.
Dismayed, I ordered something else. He set the 3 oz. glass aside. I was going to ask him for it, but it quickly dissappeared. The SOB drank it himself!
My search for a perfect beer continues! This was probably the last glass of Harpoon's coffee porter in existence.
To clear up what one reviewer said--referring to this as a wintry brew--that is not the case. Porters were traditionally brewed for working class consumption, while on the job, year around. That is why their ABV is always a bit low.

Poured into a glass tulip.
This pours a pitch black with a tan colored head about 2" thick and it disappears pretty quickly but laces decently. I smell a lot of coffee when I take a whiff - high quality beans. A little bit of chocolate is there in the background. Not surprisingly, coffee is the predominant flavour - roasty and slightly chocolaty as well. I'm surprised at how smooth this goes down. The coffee is not too bitter and the beer is not overly sweet which is a nice quality. Not overly complex, but It's much more crisp and refreshing than a lot of other beers of this style.

An uncharacteristically cold and wet Memorial Day weekend provided a good opportunity to finally sample this "wintry" offering (this being a limited release available during the winter months). I poured my sample into a Harpoon IPA glass. Light lacing and a head that dissipated quickly. Soft aromas of chocolate, caramel, and vanilla. Not as much coffee smell as I would have expected. Very easy drinking with fairly heavy carbonation. Smooth. Caramel, light chocolate, and toffee highlights. The coffee comes more to the fore as the beer warms. The 28 I.B.U. rating seems right on the mark. Nicely done.

22oz bottle from Harpoon's 100 Barrel Series, served in imperial pint glass. Beer pours dark brown to black with a thin, bubbly head. Aroma is surprisingly malty, as much brown ale as porter, and not at all the morning cup of coffee that coffee and espresso porters tend to be. Flavor features a solid porter body with coffee in equal balance flavoring and bittering vessel. The label reveals only 28 IBUs; the rest of the dryness must come from the coffee. Tertiary flavors of chocolate and toasted barley.
Interesting in that it's unique among the coffee beers I've tasted, if not as flavorful. Still, a great concept and execution, definitely worth trying while it's available.

Received this as an extra from jageraholic. Poured the bomber, dated Enjoy By 3/15/13, into my Deschutes tulip glass...
A - Pours a dark cola brown, with 2 fingers of off-white colored head. Falls rather quickly leaving no lacing behind.
S - Smells like a cup of coffee with notes of chocolate syrup.
T/M - The taste is of bitter coffee, with hints of chocolate. I'm also getting some burnt malts as well. The mouthfeelis light, with good carbonation.
O - It is a very coffee forward porter, but the mouthfeel is very light. Even for a porter. I wish I had more to say about this one, but it's kind of a one trick pony.

Draft at The Pour House in Westmont, NJ.
Pours an opaque, dark chestnut brown color with a two finger beige head that has very good retention, only slowly settling into a lasting cap/ring. Streaks of soapy lace left being.
Rich and robust malt aroma with a strong roasted coffee presence along with silky chocolate, caramel, toffee and hazelnut. Also a bit nutty with a subtle lactic presence. Smells like gourmet roasted coffee in beer form.
On the lighter end of medium body and sligtly watered down with a deeply roasted malt and coffee presence that lingers throughout. Slightly burnt and acrid with stale coffee/espresso bean, dark chocolate, oatmeal and burnt toast. Not as complex as the nose suggests. Creaminess, sweetness and nutty flavors found in the aroma are lacking. Not terrible but one dimensional and too light for the style.

Pours a medium of the colored brown body. There's a nice tan capped head, some nice lacing and some nice density.
Coffee....really this is coffee. There's some nice caramel, vanilla, caramel light aromas here. Nothing is dark and over roasted, but that's what a porter gives you.
Caramel, vanilla, and just a long long lingering medium roast coffee flavor. This is a bit watery for so much coffee.
Maybe it is just me, but if you put a beer in a bomber and charge 4+ (I think this was 4.99 or 5.99) a single bottle, it is supposed to be BIG. This is the kind of beer you expect in a 10 dollar 6 pack based on this feel.
As I just said, over priced and under whelming. Still if you want something relatively light with a lot of coffee flavor this is a great option.

A-Pours a dark brown with a dark tan head. Head keeps a respectable height. Lighter waves of lacing. Modest light penetration.
S-A focused aroma of sweetened coffee. Luke warm medium-roast coffee with a generous dosage of cream and sugar. Milk chocolate dances around the java. This beer nails its intended target.
T-The flavor is even better. Such a pinpoint coffee flavor. Espresso! Choco-undertones. Dried coffee beans usher in a wave of delectable sweetness. The first few seconds of this beer are blissful. El Triunfo is devoid of that unpleasant chalky flavor that many Porters display. I know I'm repeating myself but this beer really hit its goal here.
M-Medium bodied with light roast-imparted bitterness. Carbonation is soft but subtly energetic. Quite drinkable.
O/D-One of my favorite Harpoon brews. A liquid blitzkrieg of delectable java. I would take this over a cup o' Joe any day…consequenty I'd be asleep by noon.

A: The beer is nearly jet black in color—bits of reddish amber are visible near the bottom of the glass when it is held up to a bright light. It poured with a finger and a half high dense light tan head that has very good retention properties and consistently left a short head covering the surface.
S: There are aromas of coffee beans in the nose along with some faint hints of dark malts.
T: The taste is similar to the smell but isn't completely one dimensional with coffee flavors. It's rounded out with some hints of chocolate and roasted malts as well as a light amount of bitterness.
M: It feels medium-bodied and a little smooth (and slightly thin) on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: If you really like coffee, this is a nice flavorful porter that is also very easy to drink. There's little in the way of roasted malt flavors but the coffee beans have a nice enough taste to make up for this.

Pours a deep chocolate brown color with a tight cream colored head that settles into a light ring. Some amber highlights peek through.
The aroma is of a light freshly ground coffee. Perhaps some woody notes and light caramel but the coffee is forefront. Wish it was a bit stronger.
The taste is of a mild roast base, caramel and some tea and lemon notes; traditional english porter base. The coffee flavor is nice; freshly ground coffee flavor. The coffee really stands out. It could use a touch more sweetness as it dry and a touch bitter from the coffee.
The feel is light to moderate with fizzy carbonation. Quite a dry feel, almost powdery. Bitter in the finish from the coffee. Solid porter body.
I really like the coffee flavor in this porter. However, the beer is screaming for some sweetness, perhaps some oatmeal or lactose.

Bomber bottle, w/o freshness information.
Pour dark dark brown, medium mocha head, fine and high quality in its look. Leaves a thin collar, fine film and decent fine fields of webbing and additional scattered lacing.
Just some faint dusty chocolate and stale coffee on the nose.
Flavorful porter, moderate dark chocolate shining through and less bright coffee notes. Dry in the finish. Chocolate and coffee linger in the finish.
Pretty typical 100 barrel series brew. Decent craft beer but nothing special. Good way to check out new styles in a user friendly manner.

Thanks to angrybabboon for sharing the bottle.
Appearance: Dark brown. Ruddy and muddy. Head is off-white Small cap is creamy and smooth. Poured a bit heavier than expected.
Smell: Fresh roasted coffee beans. Vaguely oily. Some minor roasted malts. Chocolatey. Cocoa dustings and some sweeter milk chocolate. Some older coffee in the back. Vaguely grassy in that porter way. Clean. Straight up iced coffee.
Taste: Lightly roasted iced coffee. Grassy chocolate. Mild roasted malt character. Some chocolate and chocolate malts. Freshly roasted coffee beans. Some cool coffee. Some herbal notes. Sweet building maltiness. Light toasted. Cocoa dusted.
Mouthfeel: Light to medium body with some minor carbonation. Clean.
Overall: A standup performance from Harpoon.
Mellow iced coffee. The end.

Consumed 2/9/13
Appearance: Dark brown, with some light brown clarity around the edges - pours with a nice, light beige head - small, off-white cap - leaves some streaks and spots of lacing
Smell: Coffee, more specifically iced coffee - honestly, this smells like a great bag of coffee beans - roasty, not particularly burnt - some chocolate, some caramel, maybe even some vanilla - remarkably charming
Taste: Follows the aroma - in other words, this tastes like coffee - coffee, with a teaspoon of sugar, more realistically - nicely roasty, with some caramel and toasty malts - nice level of burnt sugar sweetness - again, did I mention this tastes like coffee?
Mouthfeel: Medium body, nicely carbonated, smooth, with a dry, roasty finish
Overall: Did Harpoon brew a Coffee Bender clone?
This reminds me of Surly Coffee Bender. And this is a very good thing, since that is one of my favorite coffee beers. This is truly an impressive brew from Harpoon. Shame it will only be brewed once, and it's not in tallboys...

A - sparkly shiny black with over two fingers of than foamy head, takes two pours to fill my tulip, head fades slowly and has goo retention as itrings
S - now this is how a coffee porter/stout should smell, distinct fresh ground coffee aromas hit the nose first, quickly followed by some cocoa powder for a nice chocolate sweetness, wrapped up with some roasted malts, perfect for this snow day
T - the chocolate steps up in the taste, competes with the coffee in a great way, my taste buds love being fought over, some dark plum like fruits crop up in the malty finish for a great combination
M&D&O - a fantastic porter, layered flavors of coffee and chocolate with a malty backbone, real coffee, real chocolate, real beer, real good!

Strong coffee taste and aroma this porter stands tall. To those of you who have acquired this brew my suggestion is not to drink it on an evening where you will have to get up the next morning. This brew has major coffee and kept me up all night lol! worth the time seeking out and worth drinking. Pours very dark with a small head.
Bottom Line: Good porter, you have been warned!

22oz bottle, recent release. Served at around 55F.
Pours dark brown with red highlights and a two finger tan head that holds a small, but good cap and leaves nice sheets of lacing behind.
Aroma is coffee, caramel, toffee, hints of chocolate, roasted malts, nutty, touch of vanilla. The coffee is pretty nice, definitely the strong suit here. Good strength.
Flavor is coffee, chocolate, roasted malts, caramel, toffee, a bit astringent, mild sweetness, mild bitterness, mild alcohol. Good Porter, but not as robust as others on the market these days.
Mouthfeel is medium-plus bodied, creamy, soft carbonation.
Pretty good coffee Porter. I'm a little spoiled here lately with some of the bigger coffee Stouts such as WnB & FBS, but this one is nice for something a little lighter in body and lower in alcohol, but with a good coffee aroma and flavor.

S - coffee, chocolate, roasted malts
T - coffee, chocolate, creamy, roasted malts, some bitterness in the finish
M - medium bodied, well carbonated
This is a really very delicious porter. The coffee flavor is intense but balanced. There is also a strong chocolate presence which offers a little sweetness. This is an all around sound, balanced, and highly drinkable beer. It is definitely worth a try.

Pours a dark chestnut brown, clear, with hints of orange. Light penetrates the edges. Small tan head has very little retention.
Smell is heavily roasted malt, coffee and a whiff of caramel.
Taste is toasty malt, robust coffee, some caramel and toffee. Some chocolate shows in the aftertaste but none of the floral notes the label promises.
The medium plus body is a bit watery during the swallow. Effervescence is light and a bit tingly. Warming with a hint of dryness. Overall, a good brew but since the label says its a robust porter I would like a bit more body.

22oz bottle poured into a Harpoon 100 Barrel stemmed glass.
A - Pours a very dark brown color and shows good clarity with mahogany highlights showing around the edges when held to the light. Two thick fingers of dense foam shows excellent staying power. After several minutes the foam approaches the surface leaving behind lots of webby lacing on the glass.
S - As expected, the aroma is intensely coffee...fresh brewed medium roast. Some dark roasted malt, touches of burnt espresso-like coffee. A bit nutty too. This would be a great aroma to wake up to in the morning.
T - Medium/dark roasted coffee...quite strong and intense in the flavor. Light astringency with some fruity qualities to it. A bit of burnt espresso bean flavor, some bakers chocolate...if I didn't pour it myself, I'd think this could be coffee soda. This is far from complex...it is coffee all of the way. If you like coffee, however, it is difficult not to enjoy this.
M - Strong carbonation over a thinnish body. Fruity at the start with astringent, roasty and bitter coffee flavors...lingering past the swallow with the bitter astringency taking a stronger hold after the swallow.
O - Overall...this strives to be a coffee forward beer and definitely succeeds in this venture. The coffee is intense and essentially overpowers whatever else may be in this beer. In that respect it is outstanding...however, the lack of nuance and the one dimensional nature leave a little to be desired. I find this highly enjoyable, but it feels a bit heavy handed and lacking some artistry in its execution...throw a ton of coffee in here - how can it go wrong? A bit more porter character would round this out and give more complexity.

Smell is robust dark roasted coffee and chocolate. Maybe a subtle hint of fruit, like cherries, in the background.
Taste is toasted malt, dark roasted coffee and dark chocolates. Slight hint of fruit in taste, like with the aroma. Nice balanced bitterness.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation.
Overall this was an excellent coffee porter. Tons of coffee notes in aroma and taste.

Hi Guys,
1st of all sorry to bring up my problem here however I looked everywhere on the net to solve my issue with no luck.
I upgraded my Atv to the new update 3.0.2 hacked on to my Atv with atv usb creator everything went well.
After that I realized that the software menu does not work properly along with boxee and xbmc so I decided to roll back to the 2.4 but as a dumb I decided to do it thru ssh on the terminal once completed my apple remote stopped working, I tried to pair it and unpair it with no luck, the remote responds but can not navigate thru the menu, tried to patch it again however now I am stuck with the language screen with no way to scroll down or to choose the right language.
I have the recovery dmg in my Mac but upon reading different websites I am lost and don't know exactly how to do it, I tried the method of mounting my own patchstick with the OS.dmg, the combo update and apple tiger I am able to follow all the steps in the terminal but once I plug the usb key to the Atv it's still stuck.
If someone can point me on how to use the recovery.dmg ( I don't have an external drive right now if I can do it with the usb key that will be perfect).
Please note that I am unable to ssh to the Atv all I get is connection refused port 22.
Thanks a lot

Reasoning with underdog is like talking to a brick wall. If Peyton Manning admitted that was a blown call underdogg would still say it was the right call. there is no need trying to convince this blatant homer anything.

Jealousy is an emotion reserved for the weak minded."5 things here. 1. I don't think refs hand us games. 2. What bothers me are one sided pats fans who never see the fact that they get calls/non-calls, too. 3. And you do represent America's brightest? LOL.4. For you to use a tag line about Jealousy and weak-mindedness while expressing that very emotion in your posts only serves to characterize...YOU. The most humourous thing is that you don't even realize it. 5. As for objectivity, I have demonstrated more objectivity than you ever could. I called the PI 50/50. I have never said that Faulk didn't get the first. what I have said is that the ref who is responsible for the spot, had a better spot to do so than any of the camera angles, and that is good enough for me. Still wondering why Belichick didn't use one of his timeouts to challenge?

In Response to Re: Holding the NFL Officials accountable:[QUOTE]Love both these dolt mouthpieces here! Im still waiting for them to explain why in 8 straight quarters against the Pats ZERO flags have been thrown on their defense against the Patriots.....Posted by ccsjl[/QUOTE]Just out of curiocity I just looked at the last two gamebooks. This game showed three Defensive penalties on the Pats. A Bodden PI, a Bodden unsportsmanlike conduct, and the Butler PI. The Colts had none on D, but plenty on offense. At the 2008 game, the only defensive penalty on either team was against Dave Thomas of the Pats during a FG attempt for "covering the center" - which was really ST. There were only about three penalties called the whole game. In 2007, the Pats had five defensive calls against them: PIs by Samuel and Hobbs, illegal contact by Harrison, Neutral zone infraction by Warren, and a Delay of game (after the game sealing fumble) by Colvin. The Colts were called for a hold (Bethea) and a PI (Bethea). So the last two games you're complaining about included a total of three defensive penalties on the Pats. Wow! That's real lopsided! As for the 2007 game (which you didn't have the foresight to whine about) - maybe you should consider the notion that the team that commits the penalties typically get called for them!

The league is going to be forced to acnknolwedge they blew this just like after the AFC title game. There are grumblings all across the national landscape that this was a completely blown call. The league can't hide behind their technicalities on this one. The fact of the matter is, the Colts cannot beat the Patriots without the zebras help and i'm glad this blown call happened in the regular seaoson and not when it really matters. All eyes will be on the zebras nationally after the last 2 jobs and they will be forced to call a straight game the next time the Pats and Indy play. that will likely be next year, (in Indy of course) because we all know Peyton will pull the usual one and done come playoff time.

Encinitas - whoops to the 1 TD in the first half. Thanks for the correction. As for the other thing. I am sick of talking about calls. Everyone is focusing on the calls that screwed the pats but no one wants to accept that the pats got away with calls, too. Until that happens, there really can be no rational discussion. The masses here seek objectivity from colts fans while demonstrating none of their own. Irony?Addressing your specific points: 1. Lined up in the neutral zone? Come on. Again the location of the camera appears to be 8 to 10 yards (maybe more) behind the spot of the ball and not at the line of scrimmage. This creates a skewed perspective very different from that of the field judge who, at the actual line of scrimmage, has the ability to both see whether or not players are lined up in the neutral zone and exactly where he believes faulk was when he actually possessed the ball. I don't care whether you have frame by frame dvr or pats colored glasses, you don't have the same angle as the ref. 2. Feel free to call Faulk ball adjustment whatever you want. Don't call it a bobble. That's fine. Just don't call it possession until he actually possesses it. Take off your pats colored glasses and use your HD DVR and watch as the ball hits Faulks hands and then bounces/separates/leaves (choose your word) from Faulks hands until it is actually secured the second time it touch his hands. 3. your snarky conclusion that Belichick could be the intended focus instead of the correct call demonstrates a clear lack of objectivity on your part. BTW, the nfl network ref is actually the head of all refs in the NFL and apparently called out a number of poor decisions by refs in other games. Whatever makes you feel better is no skin off of my back. Continue to believe what you need to in order to wake up tomorrow for another day. On my end, I saw 2 calls that went the colts way and could have gone the other way. Neither is conclusive and neither would be overturned. If you are upset that the colts got the close calls, I am fine with that. But don't assume that the colts get all the calls/non-calls. I've got plenty in my head that merit question from the NFL and can easily be construed as slanting

What is CEOS? Community Educational Outreach Service has existed for more than 90 years in Berkeley County. The Extension Service came into being with the Morrill Act signed July 2, 1862, by President Lincoln. Many of your moms probably belonged when the organization was called Farm Women's Club. The CEOS functions in partnership with the West Virginia University Extension Service. Our mission is to strengthen individuals and families through continuing education, leadership development and community service. Our goal, as members, is to become productive contributors to meet the needs of our changing and diverse society. We have seven clubs in Berkeley County and more than 100 members. Our articles in The Journal are not for self-gratification, but a means of informing the public that we are seeking new members who may be interested in service to the community and learning lifelong skills. We are interested in teaching others how to preserve our heritage.
We serve. Yes, we do sit, but while we are sitting, I would like to share with you what we are busy doing. In 2012 in West Virginia, CEOS clubs contributed 544,000 volunteer hours. In Berkeley County, our total was 20,000 hours. A volunteer hour is worth $21.36, according to Volunteers in America.gov. This adds up to $11,619.84 contributed to the economy of West Virginia by WVCEOS members. I can't begin to list everything we have done in 20,000 hours, but please let me share some of our talents. We made pillow cases for a special project called "A Case For Smiles" for seriously ill patients, stuffed "Boo Boo Bears," prepared "heart pillows," packed and delivered meals for Meals on Wheels, purchased gifts and food for the Union Rescue Mission, made quilt lab robes and provided special gifts for the elderly from the Christmas tree at Kmart. Our members volunteer in their individual houses of worship, our public schools and in the community at large. We also have supported with our time, energy and money: Relay for Life, Hospice, Humane Society, Horses with Heart, 4-H, Union Rescue Mission, PASS, Friends of Action and Bags of Love, just to name a few.
We learn. The primary purpose of the WVCEOS is education. We encourage and provide reading of educational and/or entertaining books in categories of fiction, non-fiction, West Virginia authors and self-help. We encourage our members' creative writing skills. Each month at our meetings, we present programs of interest prepared by the Extension Service. We also provide education to the community. Advanced Directives was our workshop last year. Every member of our clubs has a gift to share. I'm glad to call them my friends. They are special individuals.
I do thank our Journal Junction commenter for observing our continued efforts to let our community know what CEOS is and what we do in the area. Maybe you or some of your friends are interested in joining us. That means more members who will share more service hours. It seems like every time we turn on the news or pick up any paper that bad news is the overwhelming majority of what is reported. Thank you for letting me share some good news with positive outcomes.

The Best Birth Control
Why more young women should start using IUDs.
Ask an American woman in her 20s or 30s to define an IUD, and she might tell you about a roadside bomb instead of one of the oldest forms of FDA-approved contraception.
In the late 1970s, this form of reversible contraception was used by nearly 10 percent of U.S. women on birth control. But today, IUDs are used by less than 2 percent of this U.S. market despite being wildly popular overseas, particularly in developing nations.
The intrauterine device is a small—roughly 1 inch—plastic "T" inserted into the uterus that hampers the interaction and implantation of the sperm and egg. It has to be placed by a trained gynecologist, midwife, or nurse practitioner, but once in, it's a practically foolproof method of birth control—99 percent effective—that can last up to 10 years. * While daily or monthly forms of birth control can cost up to $60 a month, an IUD is a one-time cost between $300 and $500—though it's often covered by insurance. There's nothing to remember to take (unlike the pill), put in (unlike the NuvaRing), or take off (unlike the patch). And while efficacy studies suggest that the pill, patch, or ring are 99 percent effective in a clinical setting, real-life compliancy—like forgetting to take the pill at the same time every day—reduces its success rate. All that is a nonissue for the IUD: Once in, it requires no maintenance for the length of the device. Perhaps best of all, it can be hormone-free, which is better for the environment and ideal for women prone to some of the negative effects of hormonal birth control, like weight gain, mood swings, acne, or high blood pressure.
They seem like the perfect form of contraception: simple to use, long-lasting, reversible, hormone-free, economical. So why are American women so late to this party? Perhaps the better question is: Why did they leave the party to begin with?
That was my question when, after eight years and more than a dozen different incarnations of oral contraceptives, I decided to go back to the drawing board. I had never been good at taking the pill every day, and while my doctor suggested the patch and the ring, both were still under patent, making them more expensive than my monthly grocery bill. I needed something cheap, un-mess-up-able, and, ideally, hormone-free. So I did what any modern girl would do: I Googled. And thus began my research into the IUD and its mercurial history in the U.S. market.
"The major reason why women in the United States aren't using IUDs and doctors aren't recommending them is due to the erroneous belief that they're highly dangerous," says Dr. Katharine O'Connell, a gynecologist at Columbia University who specializes in contraception. Many in my mother's generation remember the IUD's heyday, when the contraceptive was linked to the horrors of pelvic infection, hysterectomy, and possible death. That negative rap stems from a particular device known as the Dalkon Shield. Heavily marketed in the early 1970s, it was the most popular model in the United States until a number of deaths from septic miscarriages caused the manufacturer to halt sales.
A study at the time linked the shield and other IUDs to pelvic inflammatory disease, and lawsuits were promptly filed. With the possibility of litigation of all IUDs on the table—and the terrible press at the time—the U.S. pharmaceutical industry abandoned the research and manufacture of IUDs in the mid-1980s, claiming the devices were no longer profitable. The result was a huge generational gap in knowledge about the IUD. Today, for women over 40, the thought of an IUD strikes terror into nether-regions; for those under 30, it's a meaningless acronym, attached to a vaguely cautionary tale mentioned as an afterthought in high-school sex-ed class.
But while the United States panicked, other countries never took IUDs off the market, and they became only more popular. In France, they are used by 23 percent of women on birth control, and in China, 45 percent of married women use an IUD.
Eventually, stateside science caught up to the IUD witch hunt. In the early 1990s, a study inthe Journal of Clinical Epidemiology challenged the validity of the research that had condemned the IUD. It's now generally understood that the problems in the 1970s were due largely to the Dalkon Shield's faulty design, which made users more susceptible to infection, as well as a lack of testing for sexually transmitted diseases before insertion, says O'Connell.
Now the IUD is being remarketed in the States, where there are two major IUDs: Mirena (FDA-approved since 2001) and ParaGard (one of the only IUDs that remained continuously available, though scarcely promoted, since the early 1980s). Mirena is made of a soft plastic and releases a steady amount of hormone directly in the uterus, comparable to taking a birth control pill or three a week. ParaGard is also made of plastic, but instead of releasing hormones, copper wire is wrapped around the device; the wire interferes with sperm transport and fertilization. Both IUDs also create a mild inflammation, which prevents sperm from fertilizing eggs and blocks fertilized eggs from implanting on the uterus.

All fees must be paid or pended in the Cashier's Office by the date and time listed in the University Calendar online. Failure to pay or pend (based on financial aid or third party sponsorship) may result in registration cancelation. A $100 late payment fee will be assessed on all fees not pended or paid in full by the date and time listed in the University Calendar. If your tuition bill is deferred against pending financial aid, your aid must be disbursed to your account prior to the expiration date for financial aid or you will be assessed a $100 late fee. FINANCIAL AID IS NOT AUTOMATIC. You should check your myWings account on the status of your aid and to ensure that you have completed all documents, signed promissory notes for loans, etc. NOTE: You must be enrolled in at least six credit hours to qualify for Bright Futures and student loans.
A fee transaction, regardless of amount, confirms a student's intention to attend all courses for which he/she is still registered at the close of the drop/add period, and grades will be assigned unless the student officially withdraws. Students are fee liable for all courses they register for (unless they drop the course by the published deadlines to do so) regardless of attendance in the class.
A fee payment check returned for any reason (i.e., insufficient funds, stop payment, account closed, wrong account number for e-check) does not cancel the student's fee liability. A service charge and a $100 late payment fee will be assessed and the payment must be made by cash, money order or certified check. If the University has received one returned check, future payments must be made with certified funds (cash, money order, credit card). Personal checks will not be accepted. A returned e-check for an incorrect account number will result in the assessment of a $100 late payment fee if restitution is not made by the payment deadline. A third return for an incorrect account number for an e-check will result in a $25 service charge (in addition to the $100 late payment fee, if appropriate) and payment must be made by cash, money order or certified check. Personal checks will not be accepted.
