My walnuts and dyeing with walnut husks Jalopähkinöitäni ja pähkinänkuorivärjäystä
Saksanjalopähkinää kasvaa laajalla alueella Euroopassa, mutta Suomessakin voi kasvaa jalopähkinöitä. Omani ovat vielä pieniä, viime vuonna saamani vuoden vanha taimi mantsurainjalopähkinää (Juglans mandshurica) talvehti hyvin viime talven maassa, sen emokasvi on Hämeenlinnassa, joten miksei se viihtyisi myös meillä. Kuva alla.
Husks of common walnut (Juglans regia) are one of the rare natural dyestuffs that are fast without a mordant. Different species of walnuts (Juglans) have been used for dyeing around the world and besides tannins, they contain many derivatives of Juglone, according to Cardon mostly in the fruits (6-8% of the dry weight), but also in the roots, young shoots and catkins.
Common walnut grows in most of the Europe, but also in Finland you can grow some Juglans species. My own trees are still very small, I got Juglans mandshurica a year ago and it survived last winter without any damage. Of course the mother tree of my little one grows in Hämeenlinna, about 100 kilometres north form us, so it should grow also here. Picture of my plant below.
Sain kasviystävältä muutaman pähkinän, jotka hän oli poiminut taskun pohjalle Budabestin puistoista. Sain nämä mustajalopähkinänä, Juglans nigra, mutta täytyy hiukan tutkia josko ne kuitenkin olisivat saksanjalopähkinää. Joka tapauksessa hienoa, että ne itivät nyt toukokuussa. Alla kuva taimesta.
Last autumn I sowed also some other walnuts, although it is doubtful if I am dyeing anything any more when these trees are mature and produce walnuts, but then they are for someone else:) It is always good to plant a tree.
I got couple of walnuts from a friend who picked them from a park in Budabest while in holiday there last year. I got them as Black walnut, Juglans nigra, but I have been thinking that maybe they are Common walnut after all, I'm not sure. Anyway, I am pleased that they germinated well this May. Picture below.
I also got from another friend Butternut (Juglans cinerea) walnuts from a tree that grows here in Finland, in Tammela, also north from us, and they all germinated well. I'm already late in giving them each an own pot. It seems I will have a whole forest of walnut trees here some day:)
Ladka. Katsokaapas miten hieno suklaanruskea väri!
Nyt laitoin kuoret likoamaan huhtikuussa ja kesäkuussa lisäsin liotusämpäriin kaksi vyyhtiä valkoista lankaa. Toinen purettamaton ja toinen alunalla puretettu. Ämpäri oli kasvihuoneessa lämpimässä kaksi viikkoa, kunnes viime viikolla otin langat pois. Ajattelin, että väri olisi tarttunut viileässäkin, mutta se oli aika vaalea värjäyksen jälkeen. Siirsin langat puhtaaseen veteen, jonka lämmitin 80°C, ja lisäsin 4g rautavihtrilliä, mutta en edelleenkään saanut tummanruskeaa, vaan väri muuttui likaisen vihertävän ruskeaksi. No voi. Alla kuvassa oikealla vaaleampi alunapuretettu ja vasemmalla tummempi purettamaton, ja siis molemmilla jälkipuretuksena rautavihtrilli.
Käytetty kuoriliemi on taas seisomassa, ja on hyvin tummaa, lisää väriä irtoaa ja pitää vaan odottaa.
Jatkossa teen kuten ennenkin: pitkän liotuksen jälkeen keitto ja värjäys kuumassa, jäähdytys väriliemessä. Ja pitkä liotus tarkoittaa useita kuukausia, jossain puhutaan vuodesta. Mitä pidempi sen parempi. Likoavat kuoret ovat sitten valmiina joskus kun ei mitään muuta värjäystä ole odottamassa. Vaikka en koskaan olekaan saanut sitä oikeaa tummanruskeaa, niin myös aiemmin saamani vaalean ruskea on ollut ihan hyvä, ja voisin kuvitella sen olevan hyvä pohjaväri vaikkapa krappivärjäyksille tai kokenillille.. varsinkin jos ei ole käytettävissä lampaanruskeaa lankaa, vaan ainoastaan valkoista.
Joka tapauksessa pähkinänkuori toimii näköjään myös kylmävärjäyksenä, vaikkakin väristä tulee vaaleampi. Saksanpähkinänkuorta löytyy nyt myös kaupastani.
I have previously dyed with walnuts with long soak, then boiling them and also dyeing in hot bath and gotten nice light to medium brown (a brown not biege), but nothing like what Ladka had gotten from walnuts. Look at that dark chocholate color!
This time I put the walnuts (200grams) to soak in April and after two months in May added two skeins of yarn to the bath, one unmordanted and one mordanted with alum and cream of tartar. I kept the bucket in the greenhouse and after two weeks I took the yarns from the bath. I though that walnuts would dye well also without heating ,but the color was quite pale (much lighter than if heated), so I put the yarns to fresh water and heated it to simmer, and added 4grams of iron to the bath for 15 minutes. I still didn't get dark brown but insted the yarns had changed to muddy olive greenish brown. Sigh. In the picture below the alum mordanted lighter yarn is on the right and unmordanted little darker on the left, and both had been in iron afterbath.
Now the used walnut husks are soaking again, and I am sure there will be more color in them after some months, I will just have to wait. It is good to know that walnut dye works in cold bath also (even if it gives lighter color), but I think next time I will do like I have done before: simmer after a long soak, and then dye in hot bath, and cool the yarns in the bath. Long soak means really a long soak, months, the longer the better. Some books even say a year, so I can keep the soaking husks and dye when I don't have anything else, even if it is next year.
Even though I have never gotten that dark chocholate brown, the lighter brown is also nice, and I can imagine it would be a good base to madder or cochineal, especially if there isn't natural sheep brown in hand, only white wool or silk.

I had a pair of white woolen socks that I died with walnut hulls when I was about 8 years old. The brown from the walnuts stayed true until the socks wore out about 20 years later!

It touched me to read with what loving care you tend your baby walnut trees while I'm blessed with an orchard (opened to everybody) with sixteen young adult walnut trees about five minutes awaxy from my home. There I can pick fallen green walnuts in June and green hulls in autumn.
And yes, it's always good to plant a tree:-)
- July 17, 2011 at 1:53 PM
I dyed with the green hulls from Juglans nigra without a mordant. I picked them up in autumn in a Botanical Garden. The color is a little bit lighter than chocolate but stable for years.

- Leena said...
Thanks for the comments. Perhaps it is the green hulls which give the chocholate color? Ladka, do you know if your walnuts are Juglans regia or Juglans nigra? Lilies book says that different species give a little idfferent shade of brown, but doesn't tell which species is the best.
- July 18, 2011 at 7:08 AM
Onnea pähkinämetsällesi! Kauniita pähkinäpuut ovat, vaikkei niiden satoa itse ehtisikään hyödyntää. Monenlaista jaksat! Tai taitaa olla niin, että ilman näitä kaikkia upeita kokeiluja ei jaksaisikaan:-)

- Ladka said...
It is the Juglans regia that I use ( ie. obtain) exclusively.
- July 18, 2011 at 12:10 PM
- Leena said...
Thanks Ladka, so it isn't the species but something else, because these husks are the same, except I have bought them dried.
Hei Larisa, minustakin ne ovat tosi kauniitä puita, ihan siksikin niitä on kiva kasvatella, ja kun nämä ovat Budabestin pähkinöitä lukuunottamatta kotimaista kantaa, niin niiden pitäisi olla myös kohtuullisen kestäviä. Nämä kasvijutut ovat minun hömpötystäni, ja ne kyllä auttavat jaksamaan:)

The tree you weren't sure about is a black walnut, I think. My 15-20 metre tall backyard tree is a Juglans regia, aka common, Persian or English walnut. The leaves are more rounded and have a much larger terminal leaf - more like your butternut.
I don't think the hulls work as well after they are dried. If I want to store them before I'm ready to soak them, I put them in the freezer, nuts and all. These are the culls, the only ones the evil squirrels leave for me!
The colours I get are tans to browns but not as dark as chocolate, even with iron modifier. Probably the black walnut is more intense but I've never tried it.
- July 18, 2011 at 6:30 PM
- Leena said...
Thanks Louisa. I hope it is is black walnut, because I think it is more cold hardy than common walnut. Butternut and Juglans mandshurica are more hardy, although quite rare in Finland, so that's why I'm so happy about all my small walnut trees.

agreed it's good to plant a tree for the future.
i have dyed using green walnut husks.
put them in a bad in water and put some silk skeins in the tub. some weeks later i remembered and took them out. lovely browns! same with wool, although the color came out a bit less rich.
still have the bag in the tub and add water periodically.the husks keep giving out color.

oops! i meant a bag :)

Thanks Neki for the encouragement, my husks are soaking again:)

Just FYI, you might want to not plant a black walnut in your garden as they have an excessive level of juglone in the roots that impedes the growth of other plants under and around them (roots can extend 3-4 times the size of the canopy). I've seen one large walnut poison an entire field. You have such a beautiful garden, wouldn't want to see anything happen to it. Other walnuts are fine though. :)
- July 21, 2011 at 3:09 PM
- Leena said...
Thanks, I didn't know that black walnut contained more juglone in it's roots than other walnuts.
We have about four hectares of land and I can plant them near the forest, so my actual garden is safe.:) And I hope the juglone keeps also hares and deer away from it.

Hi Leena
Lovely blog as always and very informative.
I have an idea - I think I have read somewhere that if the walnuts are exposed to air the colour oxidises and is not available as a dye. I will try and hunt the reference up. Like you I have had pale coffees but I have also had rich browns in the past.
- July 22, 2011 at 8:37 PM
- Leena said...
Thanks Helen, the oxidation feels familiar, I think I have read about it somewhere, too. A Finnish friend got dark brown from the same walnuts with only a week's soak and then boiling them vigorously for three hours. And her yarn was commercial superwash yarn, which always soaks up the dye better than my yarn. But I think I'm going to try prolonged boiling, too.

Where can I find information about the experiences of students with intellectual disabilities in college?
There are many postsecondary learning opportunities for students with intellectual disabilities, and participants in these programs have a wide range of experiences.
The Threshold Program at Lesley University in Massachusetts is one of the oldest programs; students in the Threshold Program attend classes for two years while living on campus. The Venture Program at Bellevue Community College in Washington State is one of the first degree-conferring programs for students with intellectual disabilities. Students in the Venture Program commute to classes and can earn an associate degree. Other programs offer individual classes that emphasize life skills, recreational activities, or training for employment.
The ThinkCollege website provides a series of self-reports by students with intellectual disabilities who plan to attend, are currently attending, or who have attended postsecondary schools.
For more information about postsecondary options for students with intellectual disabilities see the DO-IT Knowledge Base article, Can students with intellectual disabilities attend college?

Nigerian Leader Orders Tighter Air Safety
Nigerian president promises an exhaustive probe into the cause of the crash that killed 117 people.
Nigeria's president on Tuesday ordered stricter safety and maintenance procedures for all Nigerian aircraft and promised an exhaustive probe into the cause of a weekend plane crash that killed 117 people.
Making his first public appearance since the accident late Saturday and death of his wife only hours afterward, a somber President Olusegun Obasanjo told Nigeria in a televised broadcast that he rued the pair of "tragic events."
"I have already ordered a full and thorough investigation into the cause of the air crash with a view to ensuring that this sort of calamity does not repeat itself," said Obasanjo.
"In addition, I have directed the aviation ministry to ensure strict compliance with maintenance and operational requirements and standards for all aircraft in order to plug loopholes and ensure passenger safety," he said.
The Bellview Airlines Boeing 737-200 had just left the airport at Lagos, Nigeria's biggest city, for the capital, Abuja, when it crashed near Lissa, about 30 miles north of the airport.
Initial reports indicated the plane lost contact with the control tower five minutes after taking off and state radio said pilots issued a distress call before the plane disappeared from radar.
The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board said Tuesday that it sent a five-member team to assist in the investigation of the crash. The announcement came a day after Nigeria asked for U.S. help in the probe.
The 50-minute flight to Abuja was a popular route among Nigerians and expatriates. Airline officials said 117 people were on board - 111 passengers and six crew members.
The nationalities of all those aboard were not immediately known, but most were believed to be Nigerians. A U.S. Army major assigned to the Office of Defense Cooperation at the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria was among them, U.S. military officials said Tuesday. He was identified as Maj. Joseph J. Haydon, 40, of Fredericksburg, Va.
Obasanjo's 59-year old wife, Stella, died early Sunday after undergoing treatment earlier in the week at a cosmetic surgery clinic in the Spanish resort town of Marbella. Coroners performed an autopsy, but there was no word on the exact cause of death. Her body was returned to Nigeria late Tuesday.

Kangaroos Bounce Valpo 3-1
Friday, October 29, 2004Brian Garcia scored twice within 25 seconds early in the first half helping to lead UMKC to a 3-1 victory over Valparaiso on Friday afternoon in Kansas City, Mo.
Garcia beat a defender in the box and scored to the far post at 13:15 of the first half to put the Kangaroos on the scoreboard. Joe Chirco drew the assist.
Garcia then added his sixth goal of the year just 25 seconds later scoring from 25 yards out after receiving the ball form Ryan Kaufman.
Mark Korba (Portage, Ind./Portage H.S.) cut the deficit in half early in the second half. D.J. Catrow (Springfield, Ohio/Catholic Central H.S.) took a shot that was saved by UMKC goalkeeper Todd Dohlman, but Korba put home the rebound at the 56:15 mark.
Chirco added an insurance goal that the 67:17 mark scoring from 15 yards out to put UMKC in front 3-1. Garcia added his fifth point of the night with the assist.
UMKC (3-10, 2-3 Mid-Con) outshot the Crusaders 16-11 for the match, but the Brown and Gold held a 5-2 advantage in corner kicks won. Dohlman made six stops in the win for the hosts, while Valpo netminder Jeff Oleck (Indianapolis, Ind./Cathedral H.S.) made four stops for the Crusaders.
Valpo (4-8-3, 1-2-2) will return home on Sunday afternoon for a 1 p.m. match against Ohio State at Eastgate Field.

Summary of Beside a Burning Sea Summary of Beside a Burning Sea Reviews for Beside a Burning Sea An Excerpt from Beside a Burning Sea
From the author of Beneath a Marble Sky comes an inspiring new novel of a man and a woman from different worlds whose love is put to the ultimate test as they struggle to survive an extraordinary set of circumstances.From page one of Beside A Burning Sea, you know you are in the hands of a master storyteller. This novel has the aura of the mythic, the magical, and that which is grounded in history. Shors weaves psychological intrigue by looking at his characters competing desires: love, revenge, and meaning. Both lyrical and deeply imaginative.
View our feature on John Shors' Beside a Burning Sea.
One moment, the World War II hospital ship Benevolence is patrolling the South Pacific on a mission of mercy—to save wounded American soldiers. The next, Benevolence is split in two by a torpedo, killing almost everyone on board. A small band of survivors, including an injured Japanese soldier and a young American nurse whom he saves from drowning, makes it to the deserted shore of a nearby island.
Akira has suffered five years of bloodshed and horror fighting for the Japanese empire. Now, surrounded by enemies he is supposed to hate, he instead finds solace in their company—and rediscovers his love of poetry. While sharing the mystery and beauty of this passion with Annie, the captivating but tormented woman he rescued, Akira grapples with the pain of his past while helping Annie uncover the promise of her future. Meanwhile, the remaining castaways endure a world not of their making—a world as barbaric as it is beautiful, as hateful as it is loving.
With the blend of epic storytelling and emotional intensity that distinguishes him as a unique talent, John Shors reveals a powerful story of redemption focusing on unlikely lovers, heroes and villains, and war-torn countries—all, in their own ways, fighting to survive.
Amy Tan, Author of The Joy Luck Club
Shors sophomore effort (following Beneath a Marble Sky), set on an island in the South Pacific during three weeks in 1942, features achingly lyrical prose, even in depicting the horrors of war. After a U.S. hospital ship is torpedoed and sunk by the Japanese, a handful of survivors struggle for survival on a remote island. They include the captain and an officer; a Japanese prisoner, Akira, and two ships nurses he saved (one of them the captains wife); and the ships engineer, who saves a Fijian stowaway, Rat u. Akira, a college professor pressed into service, is haunted by what he saw, did, and didnt do at Nanking. Jake, the engineer, is a black farmer who sees in Ratu the son he never had. Ratu adds a colorful combination of winsome bravado, humor and childish fear; each main character is similarly well-rounded, excepting the single-minded traitor among them, unsuspected by his fellow castaways. Shors pays satisfying attention to class and race dynamics, as well as the tension between wartime enemies. The survivors dignity, quiet strength and fellowship make this a magical read.
Publishers Weekly
Praise for Shors debut BENEATH A MARBLE SKY:
Jahanara is a beguiling heroine whom readers will come to love; none of todays chick-lit heroines can match her dignity, fortitude and cunning...Elegant, often lyrical, writing distinguishes this literary fiction from the genre known as historical romance. It is truly a work of art, rare in a debut novel.
The Des Moines Register
An exceptional work of fiction...A gripping account.
India Post
Agreeably colorful...[with] lively period detail and a surfeit of villains.
Kirkus Reviews
Highly recommended...A thrilling tale [that] will appeal to a wide audience.
Library Journal
An absorbing novel about the extremes of passionwith much relevance for our own time.
Rocky Mountain News
As luminous a jewel as any that adorn the Taj Mahals walls.

Is that tank on backwards?
Star toilet
Hello, I am a newbie here so please forgive me if the question is stupid. To make a long story short, a neighbor is a "plumber". I am fixing to have knee replacement sugary plus have a bad back and I was given a ADA bare tank and bowl which my neighbor put in. Don't know the manufacture but it says "Star" just behind the seat.
Neighbor said it is a "Toto" configuration. I haven't been able to find anything about the "Star" toilet on the internet. Anyway, after he installed it, the tank is "wobbly' and now I am seeing a small leak, which I fear will become larger. The tank does not touch the bowl and from the front the the tank and bowl gasket can be seen while standing. After finally getting on the floor to get a better view, the nuts on the tank bolts above the bowl appear to be causing the gap between the tank and bowl, the tank and bowl are tight against the nuts on the tank bolts between the tank and bowl. I think this is causing the "wobble"
Do all tanks have nuts on the tank bolts above the bowl? The tank to bowl gasket is a generic Flushmaster from Home Depot so It may not be the correct one.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Last edited by Terry; 03-04-2013 at 10:23 AM.
No, the hole for the flush lever is in the front. Thanks for the response!
The "ideal" way to install a tank is with nuts on the bottom of the tank, but sometimes there is not enough room for them, (unless the openings in the bowl are large enough for them to recess into i)t, and causes the tank to not be snug to the bowl. BUT, that usually causes the tank to be "tight" and evetnually cracks the toilet. I have never seen a new "tank to bowl gasket" squish out that much, so I wonder if this was a used toilet which was taken out for some reason.
Licensed residential and commercial plumber
You have a two bolt tank. That doesn't make it "like" a Toto
There is nothing on the bowl to prevent the tank from rocking on your "STAR" Toilet.
TOTO would have had a cradle for the tank to set on. They form two ridges on the bowl that the tank is tightened to.
Your STAR bowl doesn't have those.
You might try just replacing the tank gasket with a harder one which should allow you to tighten it down with those nuts there. To keep it from rocking, you may need to come up with something hard, but resilient to use as a stop, maybe some hard rubber blocks. You'd probably want three of them in a triangle, or two strips, front and back. Doesn't look like a great design.
You could try removing the nuts between the tank and the bowl, and just tighten the whole thing down more until it dosn't leak, but don't go too far, or you could crack the tank.

NewsPress Release - 11/16/99
MARLBORO, VT -- The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA)
announced today that Vermont filmmaker Jay Craven, the head of the
film and video department at Marlboro College, will be awarded the
NEA's only narrative film production grant in the U.S. for the year
2000. The $35,000 grant will support Craven's film company, Kingdom
County Productions, for production of Disappearances, a narrative
feature film based on Howard Frank Mosher's award-winning novel.
Disappearances is a whiskey-running adventure and comedy set during Prohibition along the Vermont/Quebec border. It tells the story of Quebecois Bill Bonhomme, a hardy schemer and irrepressible optimist who loses his hay barn to lightning and resorts to whiskey-smuggling in order to raise the money he needs to save his livestock from the coming winter.
"The vivid characters and mythic themes of the film conjure a populist mix of Faulkner, Marquez, Chaplin, Terry Gilliam, John Ford, and Sam Peckinpah," said Craven. "Its hair-raising adventure, potent emotions, and laugh-out-loud humor promise to make Disappearances the most popular of the Mosher films."
Apparently, competition for the NEA award was fierce: Craven said his film project was up against applications from National Public Radio, Lincoln Center, PBS, the Guthrie Theater, and Sundance Film Festival. "The NEA panelists liked my previous work and felt strongly about our mission--to produce narrative films which are rooted in characters and stories from the region, using a combination of regional and national talent and resources. There isn't enough of this kind of filmmaking happening in the U.S," said Craven.
Craven explained that his films are cultural as opposed to being strictly commercial. "Filmmakers in France, Canada, Australia, and most other industrial countries tell important regional stories through films like The Full Monty, Shine, The Piano, My Left Foot, Mrs. Brown, The Sweet Hereafter, and Waking Ned Devine. This kind of character-driven filmmaking thrives because those countries provide substantial public subsidies for production, distribution, exhibition, and audience development for indigenous films.
"In the U.S., NEA grants are small in comparison to the public support given in Europe and Canada, but this NEA grant is extremely important to us as we work to build momentum and raise additional funds," Craven said. "It is worth noting that NEA support has been cut back in recent years," he added, "but it is about all there is, especially since the demise of PBS' American Playhouse."
Craven plans to work with scenes from Disappearances in his intermediate-level "Acting for Camera" class at Marlboro College this spring. Depending on his progress with casting and additional fundraising, Craven hopes that filming of Disappearances will begin next August or September and will involve at least a dozen of his Marlboro College students in one way or another. "There will be opportunities for them to work at a number of different levels," he said.
Craven's earlier films--Where the Rivers Flow North and A Stranger in the Kingdom--demonstrate his gift for creating award-winning films on modest budgets. His talent pool includes regular ensemble players Tantoo Cardinal, Bill Raymond, Rusty DeWees, and John Griesemer, and well-known stars like Michael J. Fox, Rip Torn, Ernie Hudson, Treat Williams, and Martin Sheen.
In related developments, Craven's Disappearances has been selected as one of 60 promising independent film projects (from among three hundred applicants) invited to meet U.S. and foreign financiers and distributors at the International Film Financing Conference (IFFCON) to be held in San Francisco in mid-January.
In his book, Party In a Box--the just-published history of the Sundance Film Festival--author and Sundance co-founder Lory Smith opens his concluding chapter by urging American independent filmmakers to "take a lesson" from Craven's unique commitment to high-quality regional filmmaking, self-distribution, grassroots exhibition, and audience development in small towns.
Craven's first dramatic feature film, Where the Rivers Flow North, played at Sundance in 1994, and he will take eight Marlboro College students to Park City in late January for a first-hand look at this year's Sundance fest.
Craven attributes his filmmaking success to focusing on the same basics he teaches in the Marlboro College classroom: writing and directing. He also emphasizes the importance of collaboration--with lighting specialists, actors, cinematographers, and designers. "I'm currently working to build a cross-collaborative film program that draws on Marlboro's impressive resources of filmmakers, actors, musicians, writers, photographers, and visual artists," he said.
Craven started making super 8-mm. "epics" as a freshman at Boston University in the late 1960s. In 1974, he settled in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, where he launched the Catamount Arts performing arts program, which grew by the mid-1980s to become northern New England's largest independent arts producer and presenter.
Craven's previous awards include the Producers' Guild of America's 1995 NOVA Award for Most Promising New Theatrical Motion Picture Producer of the Year (other recent winners include the producers of Shine, The Full Monty, and The Piano). His film credits include High Water (1989), Where the Rivers Flow North (1994), A Stranger in the Kingdom (1998), and In Jest (1999).

What is Java Auto Update? How do I change notify settings?
This article applies to:
What is Java Auto Update? How does automatic update work?
Java Update is a feature that keeps your Windows computer up-to-date with the latest Java releases. When you have auto update enabled, your system periodically checks for new versions of Java. When a new version is found we ask your permission to upgrade your Java installation.
You can schedule how often to check for updates, or check manually at any time.
Does updating from Java 6 to Java 7 remove any previous versions?
Yes, updating to Java 7, using Auto Update or updating through the Java Control Panel, will remove the highest version of Java 6 installed. Java 6 has reached its End of Public Updates, which means there will be no further public secure updates for Java 6. It is recommended that Java 6 be removed from your computer to make it more secure.
How do I change how often I am notified about new Java versions?Change the update schedule through the Advanced settings of the Update tab.
Typically, you will be notified of the update within a month of its release. However, if an update is considered critical, you will be notified within a week of its release.
Why shouldn't I disable the notifications?
By enabling your system to check for the latest version, you keep your system secure with the latest patch updates. We strongly recommend that you do not disable the update feature. Instead, change preferences for how often you'd like to be notified of newer versions. The default setting is to notify on a monthly basis.
How do I configure my system to automatically download newer Java versions?
Use the Notify Me option under the Update tab of the Java Control Panel.
Why can't I change the Update settings?
The ability to make changes to the Update tab may not be enabled if you are not logged in as administrator or if your network administrator has disabled that feature during installation.
Why is the Update tab missing from the Java Control Panel?
Java Auto Update is currently not available for 64-bit versions of Java. 64-bit versions of Java do not include the Update tab in the Java Control Panel.
How do I install the update?
When you are notified of a newer version, click on the notification message to start the update process.
Why aren't my update settings saved?
See Java update settings are not saved in the Java control panel for more information and a workaround.
Why am I notified each time I restart my computer?
If you have not responded to the notification, you may receive the prompt to update as well as the User Account Control (UAC) consent if you are using Windows 7 or Windows Vista. You may want to check the scheduled settings to change the frequency of the notifications.
Java Update Options
Change Automatic Update Settings
Change the Update ScheduleYou can change the frequency and the time for update notifications.
Change the Notification OptionsThere are two notification options:
Manual Update OptionFrom the Java Control Panel Update tab, you can manually check for an update any time by clicking on the Update Now button located at the bottom of the Update tab on the Java Control panel.
Alternatively, you can go Java.com to get the latest Java version.
Install the New Update
Windows 7 and Vista: Depending on your settings, you may be presented with a User Account Control (UAC) dialog, related to the Update notification. You will need to permit Windows to allow the Update process to continue.

EVS Wrist Brace for Left or Right Arm
Break your fall not your wrist! Adjustable dual compression straps with stabilizing high density FlexPlate inserts let you control the amount of support, while allowing for full wrist movement.
Seems to work very well. I've only used it once, but the option to add and take away stiffness was very useful.
After reading numerous reviews from other websites the wrist supports fit as advertised and was supplied with inserts for increased support. The velcro straps feel sturdy and I can't wait to wear them on the trail.

Spring 2006 Community College Working Group Meeting
In May 2006, OVAE convened a community college working group meeting focusing on the American Competitiveness Initiative (ACI). Proposed by President George W. Bush in his January 2006 State of the Union Address, the ACI is designed to build upon our nation's success in mathematics, science, and technology. Because a basic tenet of the initiative is to strengthen our ability to develop a highly skilled workforce and prepare students for the competitive global economy of the 21st century, community colleges will have a key role to play in its success. The working group participants included community college presidents and other campus leaders, leaders in K-12 education, and business representatives. The first panel explored how business and industry alliances can enhance academic goals and workforce readiness. Panelists included representatives from three community colleges and the CEO of the Texas Chamber of Commerce. The second panel addressed the types of programs, initiatives, and core curricula that need to be in place to better prepare students for college and to help them be more competitive in a global workforce. Panelists included a school district superintendent, a high school principal, and a community college representative. Facilitated group discussion centered on identifying best practices and overcoming challenges in implementing those practices.

is there a way to unlock the iPhone (with anysim or whatever) without having a working Wi-Fi connection? I#m having problems getting Wi-Fi to work so I can't use AppTap to install the desired Programs () for anySim. With Independence i get anySim on my Phone but it wont work there, maybe because of the missing software.
Wi-Fi isn't working because of getting no connection to my router (its an old t-sinus 130 dsl). but maybe there is a way to unlock it without wifi, would be great if somebody can help me with that.
thanks a lot,

The Tennessee room represents a parlor in a wealthy American home between 1828 and 1836, the years of Andrew Jacksons presidency. Jackson, the seventh president of the United States and a Tennessee native, is pictured here in an early 1830s portrait painted by his close friend and painter Ralph E.W. Earl. The mahogany and gilt or golden armchairs where made for the White House after it was burned by the British in 1814, If you look closely at Jacksons portrait, you can see he is sitting in one of the gilded arm chairs.

Lounges >Van Dyke Cafe
846 Lincoln Rd, Miami, FL | Directions 3313925.790418 -80.137580
Daily 8am-2am
Neighborhoods: City Center
In the Heart of it all – GREAT location. food took a while to get but didnt really mind. Very crowded sat and watched people for a while. waiters were helpful with other hot spots. Try the samon
Average streetside cafe – This cafe was personally recommended to us by a Miami local, and we saw it on a travel special on South Beach. We decided to check it out for the people-watching on Lincoln Road. Of all the restaurants on Lincoln Road, only this place and Nexxt Cafe were busy at 2 in the afternoon. The people watching was terrific. We sat at an outdoor table on the edge, which was nice even though it was very hot. We ordered a beer and glass of wine to start, neither of which was particularly cold. The menu is expansive, including breakfast, middle eastern, deli, italian, and seafood. How a restaurant can possibly do this many diverse menu items well is beyond us. We ordered the Cobb Salad, which wasn't good, especially not for $12.50. It took me longer to chop up the spinach, chicken, avocado, cucumber, bacon and egg than it took to eat it. The bleu cheese dressing was essentially Kraft from the bottle. I appreciated that the salad came on spinach, which is rare, but I wish the kitchen had chopped it all up for me or at least given me more than a dull cafeteria 2 cent knife for the chopping. My sister ordered the Italian grilled chicken sandwich, which was a panini. We really liked the sandwich, and the french fries were good too. The panini was fresh with a decent amoutn of brie. I wish there had been slightly more chicken to it. The fries were seasoned and not just a standard french frie. It wasn't that busy while we were eating, but our server never refilled our water. She also didn't get around to asking about a second round of drinks until we had finished our meal. All in all, we would not recommend this place. It wasn't cheap, and we would recommend going elsewhere for such average, mediocre food. We've been to plenty other cafes that have smaller menus with better results.
service was terrible – we thought that this would be a good place to people watch while on a recent visit to south beach. well, we were right about the people watching but the food was not good and the service was excuciatingly slow. after we were seated, no server came to offer us water or a menu for a good 15 minutes. a server finally came and said, "is someone helping you?" when we said, "no", he replied "i guess i'll take your order." "i guess"?!?!?! c'mon! food came waaaaaaaaaay later and it was not good. it took our server so long to get our drinks re-filled and another long stretch of time to get our bill.
So, So, So-Be! – Food...so, so. Music upstairs, superb! You'll soon forget the mussles are too saucy once you are seated before the most charming live enterntainment in SoBe.
3 Words: Cuban Meatloaf Sandwich – I vacationed in Miami over the summer, had an incredible lunch here. The place is great for people watching and is located in a promenade similar to Third Street - Santa Monica (to all my cali diners). When blessed with the opportunity to visit South Beach, please check out this restaurant. Try the Cuban Meatloaf Sandwich, huge and delicious.
It's all about jazz at this lively eatery, where pooches are as welcome as people. – In Short
Like the News Cafe, its Ocean Drive sibling, Van Dyke Cafe on Lincoln Road is one of Miami's premier people-watching outposts. Inside, it boasts hardwood floors, French doors and an upstairs jazz bar. Outside there's a vast outdoor seating area lined with trees. Van Dyke has a nearly identical menu to News Cafe's, including burgers, sandwiches, salads, omelettes, plus the delicious thin-crust goat cheese pizza. And for dessert they offer homemade cookies.
Just O.K. – No doubt that the outdoor cafe is definitely a great place for people watching, and the live music scene is great, but that's about it. The food isn't all that great.
We went there for dinner late on a Friday night with a party of ten. Initially, we were told that we could sit upstairs and eat (where the musicians play), but what they didn't tell us up front was that there was a cover charge (I think that it was $10 or $15). So we had to wait [again] to be seated in the main dining area.
As far as the food went, my husband and I shared the paella, which we found to be good. But the oversized shrimp that topped the dish was mushy. My mother-in-law was not happy with the lamb chops, which she said were very dry. My brother-in-law said that the pizza was just O.K. My sister-in-law didn't comment on the sandwich that she had, although it looked dry. All in all, this was a rather boring meal and I wouldn't go here to eat again.

Hoping to have a fresh start, five sisters move to LaPush and get imprinted on by the wolves. But these sisters have a secret, each of them controls one of the five elements and together are more powerful then any other species.
The Anderson Sisters:
Piper Anderson
Twenty One
Piper is the oldest sister. She has taken on the mother role and is very protective of her sisters. She is always looking out for them and giving them advice. She doesn't like using her powers unless it is necessary. She gets imprinted on by Embry.
Jasper's Girl
Blaise Anderson
Blaise is the second oldest and Brenna's twin. Just like her element, she is very hot-tempered and hard-headed. She is always getting into some type of trouble and loves to party. She loves using her powers whenever she can, even if it hurts someone, and gets imprinted on by Paul.
Thea Anderson
Thea is the younger twin and the complete opposite of Blaise. She is very calm and laid back, scared of using her power unless she is sure it won't hurt anybody. She gets imprinted on by Jacob.
Cassandra "Cassie" Anderson
Cassie is the youngest of the four sisters. She is very down to earth and a total bookworm. She is usually drawing or reading and loves using her powers. She gets imprinted on by Seth.
Miss Sixx
The Pack:
Embry Call - WhitniLovesYou
Paul Lahote - Jasper's Girl
Jacob Black - Miss Sixx
Seth Clearwater - Ducky
Boy And Girl
Be Nice (No Bullying)

Piper laughed as she ran out the door and headed to the beach maybe she would meet some one there that wasn't one of her sisters remembering Cassie wanting to come to the beach.
Paul looked bored and stood up on his paws restless he wanted to run and get the heck out of here hey kid holler for me whenever we start the meeting would ya he said as he took of running in wolf form.
Seth just nodded and laid there. He fell asleep in a small sunbeam
Blaise drove down to the board walk and decided to walk down the beach. Maybe she'd find something fun like someone's bonfire. But all she found at the end of the beach was a forest. She continued walking through it, liking the sounds of the woods
Paul was just running without thinking until he was near the edge of the woods and skated to a stop like Seth had only he hadn't slammed into anyone but he did she a blond girl she was actually kinda cute from what he could see in the foliage.
Paul froze whenever she looked at him he didn't mean to get caught he ran in the opposite direction and ran over Seth and flipped over Seth what are you doing lying around he barked at the younger wolf not really meaning to snap at him but he was frustrated with himself.
Piper saw Blaise pull up "uhh hey" she hollered to her as she sat in her car concern started to boil inside of her.
Paul glared at Seth why are you so tired he asked more out of wonder than conviction.
(Sorry, my laptop died and I forgot my charger cord at my house)
Cassie smiled as she finished her sketch walking back to the house, her mind on the watercolors she had sitting in her new room. She spotted two of her sisters and walked over wondering what was happening.
Jacob ran through the forest after the meeting unsure of what was happening with the other wolves. He came up next to Paul and Seth wondering what was going on with them.
Cassie stared at her sister in shock, just what was her sister saying this wolf was. She laid her hand on Blaise's shoulder trying to give her some comfort. "It'll be okay."
Jacob gave Seth a wolfy grin trying to make him feel better.
Seth just shook his head and laid down again in the sun. He looked at Jake So...why'd you call us here?" He asked, confused. They never had meetings unless it was something important.
Blaise shook her head "No you all think i'm insane!" She jumped out of the car and walked onto the beach. She took a deep breath "But it's not going to happen again." She turned to her sisters "So why not just relax?"
Piper sighed "Blaise neither one of us called you insane" she said "and you could have I mean we don't know nothing about the wildlife here the human eyes part through me off for a bit but still" she said then turned to Cassie "so how'd you enjoy yourself kid" she asked Cassie.
Paul just stayed silent and waited for Jake to get on with whatever he wanted so he could leave he kept the girl off his mind.

A Deadlocked Election Should Scare Investors
A hung election could spur a Wall Street drop.
Children throughout the country will be wearing Obama and Romney masks for Halloween—and those are two faces that really scare investors.
The reason for that fear has to do with the closeness of the presidential race, not the candidates' policies. The last thing Wall Street wants to see is an undecided post-election period like the Gore vs. Bush 2000 race that was ultimately decided after the fact by the Supreme Court.
"My Halloween nightmare is a hung election," says David Edwards, president of Heron Financial Group, a wealth management firm. "If that's what we get, stocks will drop 10 percent."
Even with the polls tightening, it's not the most likely scenario. But mounting uncertainty has already played a role in putting an end to the stock market's bull run. Back on October 2, when President Obama seemed to have the election all but won, the Dow industrials were at a multiyear high of 13,650.
Then came the first debate, and the president's surprisingly weak performance, which led to an overnight tightening of opinion polls. The Dow has shed 500 points since then, as Obama's lead began to vanish. It's not because investors favor the president. But they do like certainty.
[Read: Are Brawling Politicians Bad for Your Portfolio?]
"This election is on a real knife edge," says Edwards. "Investors like certainty and they dislike uncertainty—and that's what elections are all about. We have two candidates who are very different, and this election is getting closer as we reach the finale."
Obama and Romney represent much different approaches to the economy, taxes, healthcare, and a range of issues critical to businesses and investors. Decision-makers want to invest with a clear view of the future, regardless of who wins the White House. A hung election, in which neither candidate wins the 270-vote majority of the electoral vote, would prolong the uncertainty. It puts the decision in the hands of Congress and, more importantly, it would launch a new administration into a new term without being elected in the voting booth. That would be a shaky mandate at a time when Washington's deep political divides have already paralyzed progress on critical decisions. For a glimpse of the possible impact, remember that the battle over the deficit ceiling last year was a key factor in Standard & Poor's decision to downgrade the U.S. credit rating.
Undecided "purple" states, home to stressed-out investors. Research shows that U.S. investor confidence never fully recovered from the financial collapse of 2008 while George W. Bush was still president. Wealth research firm Aite Group reported in October that investors in political "swing states" are the most fearful about the market.
"What you see in the purple states is much higher dissatisfaction or lack of confidence in equity markets," says Javier Paz, senior analyst for Aite. "That higher incidence is problematic for the incumbent [Obama] and could turn on him, particularly in swing states like Florida and Ohio."
Florida, the key swing state in the last "hung election" back in 2000, is again locked in a very close race, and the state's business owners and investors are "hesitant to let go of money" with consumer confidence low, according to a leading trade group's chief.
"From an economic-growth standpoint, a job-creation standpoint, and a capital-formation standpoint, people are always concerned around an election," said Rick McAllister, of the Florida Retail Federation in a video interview on Tallahassee-based Capital Dateline Online. "One side or the other is concerned over so-and-so getting elected or re-elected."
Adding to the "scare factor" is a tactic used by both sides of painting the other party's candidate as an economic bumbler. Researchers have reported the highest-ever levels of negative political advertising. A Supreme Court ruling two years ago overturned legal limits on political action committees, unleashing the tirade of negativity.

Moyes, Spock and a Star Trek lesson
If seeking to understand Manchester United manager David Moyes' team selection on Sunday against Manchester City, the first Star Trek film that J.J. Abrams directed may provide some clarity. There's a moment in that movie when Leonard McCoy, the Starship Enterprise doctor, remonstrates with Spock, who has fallen out with Captain Kirk and cast him out to a distant colony. The Enterprise is soon set to confront a dangerous enemy, and McCoy questions the wisdom of doing so without Kirk, one of the least predictable yet most brilliant members of their crew.
"Are you out of your Vulcan mind?" asks McCoy. "Are you making a logical choice, sending Kirk away? Probably. But, the right one? You know, back home we have a saying: 'If you're gonna ride in the Kentucky Derby, you don't leave your prize stallion in the stable.' " Spock, unmoved by this impassioned argument, dryly replies: "A curious metaphor, Doctor, as a stallion must first be broken before it reaches its potential."
When riding into the Manchester derby last Sunday, United arguably had four if not five prize stallions -- Nani, Javier Hernandez, Shinji Kagawa, Adnan Januzaj and Wilfried Zaha -- they could have used. Unfortunately, they used none, with neither Zaha nor Januzaj leaving the bench in the 4-1 loss.
-Moyes didn't expect smooth ride
-Book: Mou cried at United snub
-Glazers back down on Old Trafford
Moyes, whose attention to detail might be highly regarded by Vulcans themselves, presumably believed these stallions had either not been broken, or were simply not prize enough to influence proceedings in any decisive fashion.
Anyone who has seen either of Abrams' Star Trek films knows that Spock, once he begins to act somewhat more off the cuff, is the star of both shows. He learns to work with the unpredictability of Kirk, rather than use it in fatally limited doses, and is rewarded for his appetite for risk.
Moyes was rewarded for the gamble that he took against Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League, starting Fabio and Kagawa ahead of Ashley Young, who had shown signs of improvement, despite being booked for diving - against Crystal Palace in the previous match. Kagawa's subtle combinations with Michael Carrick, Maroune Fellaini, and Patrice Evra helped to open up Leverkusen's left flank, and he could have performed a similar brief to that which Samir Nasri executed so devastatingly against Manchester United, cutting in from the left to form a fluid midfield three.
The attraction of taking risk and selecting these more ambitious wingers is that it would also take pressure off Fellaini, who actually adopted very similar positions to those taken by Fernandinho and Yaya Toure on Sunday, but who was criticised for his lack of dynamism.
Fellaini was not helped, either, by the selection of Chris Smalling ahead of Fabio at right back: the Brazilian could have provided an overlapping threat which might well have pushed the defensively suspect Alexsandar Kolarov back on his heels.
This defeat, brutal as it was, may be a useful lesson for Moyes. He has so far taken defensive approaches in three big Premier League fixtures so far this season -- against Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City -- gaining one point from a possible nine. It is one thing to lose two of those games in a spirit of abandon -- which is why many Manchester United fans are not so badly disposed towards the 6-1 humiliation at Old Trafford two seasons ago -- and it is another to succumb having adopted the spirit of containment.
Moyes' caution in these early matches is understandable, and it may be that -- commendably -- he is deferring to the senior players in the squad by trusting them in these high-profile fixtures. There is a sense, given Ryan Giggs' absence since the early part of the season, that Moyes is still deciding upon his best XI.
It should be remembered, too, that it was some way into last season before Sir Alex Ferguson finally settled on Michael Carrick and Tom Cleverley as his preferred midfield partnership. Of course, as Spock soon learned, it's best to get your finest horses into the fray as soon as possible: both for their own good, and for your hopes of winning the greatest race.

Decided to stop in after Lost Abbey since it was pretty close by, have always heard great things about this place so I was pretty psyched to check it out. It definitely has the english pub feel but with a more modern take. Atmosphere was solid. Lots of people all over the place enjoying themselves. Guys beside us were enjoying the USA hockey game from two days before, apparently oblivious to that fact. Quality was great. Food and beer were top notch and the furnishings were more than adequate, loved the dedicated darts area as most places don't leave you enough room. Service was fine. I didn't have to wait for a beer and our food came out quickly. Selection was awesome. Only a handful of the 50 or so taps were kicked and they had plenty of local offerings which is always nice to see. I totally forgot to look at the bottle list, wish I could go back and check it out. As far as food goes, we weren't super hungry so we just got an order of their loaded fries which were quite good. Prices were a bit high on certain items but nothing over the top. Overall an awesome pub, I would definitely be a regular here if I lived in the area.

Great British Pub atmosphere with darts and pool tables. Nice outdoor patio with fire pits for those cool nights. Only negative is that parking isn't great. This place is a phenomenal balance of awesome food and awesome beer. During the most recent Sand Diego Beer Week, there was a compelling reason to go to Churchill's every night...and I went almost every night. The food is outstanding. They have their standard menu of British Pub fare which is excellently cooked. They also have a menu of several different specials. Their food is always top notch. The beer selection is out of this world. They probably have over 50 taps, 2 casks, and one of the best bottle selections in San Diego. Every time I go, there are several beers on tap that I have never seen before: a unique twists on an old favorite, or a great vintage stashed away for a while. They frequently have special menus for holidays and beer dinner pairings. This is a phenomenal place.

This is a place to drink amazing beer, and that's about it. The food is always so-so. Sort of middle-of-the-road bar food. The beer list, however, is incredible. I've had some great rare offerings from Russian River and Hair of the Dog, just to name a few, but there are always a ton of options. This place also frequently hosts some great beer-themed dinners and is generally a welcoming place to visit.

The atmosphere is great for a pub of that size. They have reasonable inside seating, outside seating with a fire pit, and it is a kid friendly place. The beer selection is great, 50 beers on tap, two on cask at all times, and a healthy bottle list. The staff are knowledgeable and enjoy their jobs and it makes for a better experience. The selection of beer is amazing, the beer nights are great, and the food is pretty damn solid, with rotating specials. They also have a vegan menu. The price is pretty reasonable to me, and I frequent Churchill's quite often.

After hearing so much about Churchill's, I knew it was a must hit destination on my trip to San Diego. From the outside, it's not much to look at. Once inside, it has sort of a run-down English pub, dive-ish feel to it. Nothing wrong with it, but just not really what I was expecting. The service was prompt and friendly. The bartender went digging through the cellar to find me a bottle of CFH '13 to try so I was pleased. The selection is great. Nice bottle list and an excellent draft selection. The food was just okay. The burger was kind of mediocre (seemed to be a trend during my time on the West Coast...) Not terrible though, and decently priced, but I wouldn't come here to eat unless it was with a group who really wanted to check out the beer. Overall, I'm glad I came, but it didn't quite meet the hype.

Stopped in for dinner on my trip and to see my buddy's brother who lives in the area.
Half typical bar, half restaurant, all connected obviously.
Plenty of cool beers on tap, mostly local, was hoping for a rare Finest Hour Sighting, but I wasn't so lucky. Had some Societe and Rip Current beers with dinner. Obviously amazing.
Food was pretty good, a little on the expensive side. Service was decent enough, nothing worth while to say good or bad.

A - Doesn't look like much from the outside, almost displeasing to someone who doesn't know any better because of the reputation, but the inside is your typical pseudo-English pub in America. Highly clad with antiqued wood, a little dark and smaller than one would imagine for having such a large beer selection. But the people who work there make the place great and everyone there is always in a good mood. Not a lot of fraternity boys/college scene ordering shots of jager, etc. but most people are there to hang out, enjoy some pints and have a good time.
Q - Always have a hard time with this category...quality of the building, quality of the ownership, quality of the experience, quality of what? If it's a combination of all the aforementioned, then the place usually has me leaving with a good experience. No establishment is perfect, once I stopped getting jabbed in the head by pool cues while trying to eat dinner it was much better, but now just avoid sitting next to the billiards at night or you'll feel like you're in a constant wooden stick sword fight.
S - Can't speak highly enough about the staff. I'm always greeted by at least 1 person as soon as I walk in and the bartenders are quick to ask for your drink order if you're in the bar. If eating dinner the staff is very knowledgeable about the menu AND the beer and always make sure that you have everything you need without being intrusive. The bartenders aren't you're typical "I'm cooler than you because I can pour beer in a glass from a tap" but can constantly be found having social conversation/joking with bar-folk while getting their job done at the same time.
S - As most know, the beer list is what puts this place on the map. Something like 51 taps and 2 casks going at all times and constantly rotating. There are usually several high quality IPA/IIPA on tap including The Pupil or Pliny. Everything from BA stouts, sours, flanders reds, local beers, etc. What truly makes it great is the exclusivity Churchill's shares with few other establishments in San Diego and they get access to rare kegs, casks or beers made specifically for the pub. But like most people say...where are the Alpine beers??
F - Typical pub food menu items, although excellently executed, don't walk in hoping to get some small plate/gourmet, white table cloth type entrees. The chef is a master of his craft (often wonder how they keep him around) but I'm glad they do. Every now and then they'll do a special/ticketed/limited dinner with a brewery and prepare a special menu to compliment said brewery's beer, they are fantastic. There's a few "vegan" menu options (it's my knowledge that they use the same fryers/oil/pots/pans for the vegan items as the regular entrees) but a beer bar/pub with "vegan" food is kind of an oxymoron IMO.
V - Overall I very much enjoy going to Churchill's. I appreciate the low volume of people at the bar compared to other establishments around San Diego county, rarely have to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with bros to get a beer. I always enjoy myself and love sharing stories, catching up with friends in a relaxing atmosphere where I never feel pressured or rushed while inside. I'm treated how I would treat others and feel very welcome at Churchill's....now get more kegs of Churchill X ASAP.

A: Typical English pub. The pool table was a bit too close to the tables, so we often has a poolstick in our grills. Parking lot is a bit tiny, but I took my dad and he has a handicapped plate.
Q: The quality of their drafts was amazing. Great barrel-aged items, some good locals, etc.
S: Not bad. Took them about 10 mins to get to our table, but after that, it was great
Sel: Lots of great stuff on tap. Tons of bottles to choose from
F: Good pub food. Had the fish and chips. My dad had the Prime Rib Sandwich. Good quality.
V: Not too shabby, especially for the drafts they offer.

Located in San Marcos amidst lots of good breweries, this place is a natural fit for the clientele that make the area the best beer city in the world. The usual stuffy English bar layout, lots of wood, I think when you enter, its bar to the left, dining area to the right, patio area even further to the right.
I really like the ambience on the patio, there's some fire pits, very nice, where I'm from there'd be some BMC douches getting wasted and falling into the fire pit, suing the establishment and voila!, no more fire pits, but thankfully, this place doesn't seem to enable such people, so instead, we just had a nice cozy night by the fire with pleasant people around us. Its true, good people do drink good beer.
Quality of the beers was awesome, almost everything I drink there are things I've never had before. And most of those turn out to be pretty damn good too. Drank a lot of Societe and Iron Fist taps while we were there. Disappointed by the lack of Alpine, also disappointed that they never, NEVER have Churchills Finest Hour bottles available when I'm there, despite some BA's claiming they always have it, its been my exact opposite experience. Who knows, maybe I'm not local or cool enough to get a bottle, or maybe the waitress I get is always the clueless one, because the last one I had acted like she didn't even know what I was talking about, then when I informed her a little more, she kind of guessed that it was only available one day a year. Who knows, disappointing in the end, regardless of the reason.
Did enjoy a Cascade Figaro out of the bottle. $40 for something I couldn't order online, that was $25 I believe before shipping, seemed like a good deal. Was quite enjoyable. Food was decent, typical pub stuff, I think we had some irish nachos or something, was like potato skins with bacon and cheese on it. They offer smaller pours, but really kill you on the price per oz when you do it that way.
Really hate the slanted driveway out front, I only had about a gallon of gas in my truck, and because of the incline, I had to walk to a gas station, buy a gas can, fill up the truck. Nobody from the bar, not even the doorman who watched the entire time, offered any help. Not a big deal, but damn, last time I park in that spot again, we missed our reservation at Stone because of it!
In the end, I can see how Churchills could be a big favorite, especially if you have access to their unique offerings.

The look of the pub is fairly ordinary, which several televisions displaying sports games, random pictures on the wall, presenting a very casual atmosphere the belies how very great the food and beer is.
The tap list is exceptional. I spied five different vintage beers, and there are enough fresh IPAs to make any hop-head feel in heaven. There's also an extensive whiskey list if that is your fancy.
Service was great. We scored free desert because a friend on mine spilled ketchup on her pants. Service was always prompt despite being very busy.
The food is also exceptional. A simple item like Grilled Cheese is made delicately with gourmet ingredients. There's a good mix of items around ten dollars, and more expensive choices.
