The Peterson Institute for International Economics is a private, nonprofit, nonpartisan research institution devoted to the study of international economic policy. Since 1981 the Institute has provided timely and objective analysis of, and concrete solutions to, a wide range of international economic problems. It is one of the very few think tanks that are widely regarded as "nonpartisan" by the press and "neutral" by the US Congress. Its research staff has been cited by the quality media more than that of any other such institution. It was voted "best think tank in the world" in 2008 by the first global survey of over 5,000 such institutions and again in 2011 by the British magazine Prospect, whose selections are called "the Oscars of the think tank world" by the BBC.
The Institute, attempts to anticipate emerging issues and to be ready with practical ideas, presented in user-friendly formats, to inform and shape public debate. Its audience includes government officials and legislators, business and labor leaders, management and staff at international organizations, university-based scholars and their students, other research institutions and nongovernmental organizations, the media, and the public at large. It addresses these groups globally from its base in Washington, DC.
The Institute's staff of about 50 includes 20 senior researchers, all distinguished for their combination of research productivity and policy experience. The Institute's agenda emphasizes global macroeconomic policy, international finance and exchange rates, trade and investment, energy and the environment, and area studies of key economic regions. Institute staff and research cover all key regions—especially Asia, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East, as well as the United States itself and with special reference to China, India, Korea, and Russia.
Current priority is attached to the global financial and economic crisis and especially its European component; debt and recovery; the growing role of China in the world economy; the economic dimensions of the Arab Spring; globalization and its political controversies; global imbalances and exchange rates; national and international financial regulations; export competitiveness; reform of the international economic and financial architecture; sovereign wealth funds; and trade negotiations at the multilateral, regional, and bilateral levels.
Institute studies have helped provide the intellectual foundation for many of the major international policy initiatives of the past three decades: reforms of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), including those initiated by the G-20 in 2009–10; adoption of international banking standards and broader financial regulatory reforms; the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum and Trans-Pacific Partnership; the restoration and then extension of trade promotion authority in the United States; the development of the World Trade Organization; the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and other US free trade agreements (including with Korea notably); initiation and implementation of the Strategic and Economic Dialogue between the United States and China; a series of United States–Japan negotiations; reform of sanctions policy; liberalization of US export controls and export credits, and specific trade issues such as permanent normal trade relations (PNTR) for China in 2000 and Russia in 2012, import protection for steel, and Buy American legislation in 2009.
Other influential analyses have addressed economic reform in Europe, Japan, the former communist countries, and Latin America (including what became known as the Washington Consensus), the social impact of globalization and policy responses to it, outsourcing, corruption, foreign direct investment both into and out of the United States, global warming and international environmental policy, measures of currency manipulation and of equilibrium exchange rates, and the sources and growth of services trade.
The Institute celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2006 and adopted its new name at that time, having previously been the Institute for International Economics. In 2001 it moved into its new building, which received an Award of Excellence for Extraordinary Achievement in Architecture by the American Institute of Architects and a Best Architecture in Washington Award by the Washington Business Journal. It celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2006 and adopted its new name at that time, having previously been the Institute for International Economics.

GLOVERSVILLE - Former Northville school district Superintendent Kathy Dougherty was appointed by the Gloversville Enlarged School District Board of Education to serve as an interim principal at the Park Terrace Elementary School when Stephen Pavone retires at the beginning of December.
Dougherty, a longtime area educator, will fill the position while the search gets underway for a permanent candidate for the job.
Her appointment runs through the end of June, a news release said.
GESD Superintendent of Schools Michael Vanyo said the district will seek parent and community input in the hiring of a new principal for the school.
"I am certain Mrs. Dougherty's presence will greatly contribute to the learning environment for our entire elementary community," Vanyo said in a news release. "We look forward to her leadership as we seek a permanent candidate."
Dougherty has 35 years of experience in education. She retired as the superintendent of the Northville Central School earlier this year. Prior to leading the Northville schools, Dougherty was a music teacher and elementary school principal in the Greater Johnstown School District.
"I am very honored the board selected me for this very important position, and I look forward to working with the school community as the board seeks the next principal," Dougherty said.

SHERRILL, N.Y. -- There's another local tie to Friday's tragic shooting in Connecticut.
The mother of six-year-old James Mattioli is a Sherrill native. Cynthia Mattioli's parents, Jack and Cathy Radley still reside in the small Central New York town.
Sherrill's mayor says he did not know the family personally, but says his thoughts and prayers go out to them and all the families who lost someone in this tragedy.
"You would never think that something in Connecticut would be connected locally. It's a sad situation what this world's coming to and we can't even send our kids to school now and have them, you know, safe. It's a sad situation," Sherrill mayor Bill Vineall said.
Mayor William Vineall says he's tried to get in touch with the family, but has yet to hear back.

Imagine the perfect passion position: It would be comfortable, make you feel seductive and sensual and all but guarantee an earth-shattering climax. Sound like sexual science fiction? Actually, it's woman-on-top the carnal configuration that flips missionary sex on its head and puts you in total control.

"You decide how fast the pace is and how deep your guy will enter you, making it more likely that you will reach orgasm."
Another benefit? It makes guys go gaga. In fact, the men in this month's Cosmo sex survey rated it their number one way to knock boots. Seems that the sight of you playing cowgirl in his saddle is enough to burn him up with lust. Yet Cosmo gets tons of e-mails from readers saying they have no clue how to move in the female-superior pose and are scared of looking like a rodeo rider gone wrong. Well, honey, we think it's high time you ditch those jitters and hop aboard your favorite bronco.

Gasoline costs in the U.S. could fall as much as 30 cents a gallon if lawmakers would repeal a controversial shipping law, industry experts say.
The longstanding Jones Act—a section of The Merchant Marine Act of 1920—which requires any ship that carries goods or commodities in U.S. waters be American made, owned, operated and carry a U.S. flag, is being highlighted by one oil CEO as a reason behind the high price of gasoline in the U.S. and particularly in Florida.
"If foreign owned and flag ships were able to carry gasoline in US waters, the price of gasoline in the North East and in Florida could be 20 to 30 cents lower," Joe Petrowski, CEO of Gulf Oil, said.
(Read more: Watch out, US crude prices could correct 35%: Pro)
Petrowski added it also makes environmental sense.
"This goes beyond gasoline," he said. "Consumer products which are transported by trucks could also be shipped on U.S. waters, which would ease congestion on roads, reduce emissions and save money."
Vessels made in the United States are more than triple the price tag of their international competitors.
A mid-sized product tanker called an MR Tanker costs $130 million in the United States versus $34 million in Korea, and a 4800 TEU (20-foot equivalent unit) container ship would have a price tag of $200 million in the U.S. vs. $46 million in South Korea, according to Marine Money International.
Shipping insiders say the "American Made" mandate has had a negative impact on the U.S. transportation system.
(Read more: No glut here: Why Gulf refiners face a squeeze)
"The high cost of U.S. ship construction coupled to the Jones Act's absolute prohibition on the importation of foreign-built vessels has led to an inefficient major domestic transportation market sector saddled with an artificial shortage of ships, while the world is actually well supplied with modern and safe tonnage." said Michael Hansen, president of the Hawaii Shippers Council.
The council has its own reform proposal addressing the impact of the Jones Act on Alaska, Guam, Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
This is not the first time the price tag of the Jones Act has been talked about.
Ed Morse, chief commodity analyst at Citigroup, has said publicly the Jones Act adds between $6 and $8 a barrel to transport costs. Morse has said that based on his calculations, it's often cheaper for a Gulf Coast refiner to send gasoline to Brazil than to New York.
Per Heidenreich of private investment company Heidenreich Enterprise said that while he has no personal knowledge of how Petrowski came up with his calculations, he doesn't disagree and stressed the price of gasoline is also being jacked up in California.
(Read more: CFTC charges energy trading firm with 'spoofing')
"I will not doubt his calculations considering the domestic freight on tankers have increased on time charter basis to about $100,000 per day (compared to foreign-flag equivalent ships that earn about $12,000 per day)," Hedenreich said.
"There are also 17 or so Jones Act tankers that carry crude from Alaska to California that add to the cost of energy at the pump in California," he continued. "With Exxon's two new buildings under construction at Aker Philadelphia Shipyard at cost in excess of $200 million each, tankers that will replace old Jones Act tankers in the Alaskan/California trade this will sure increase the price at the pump in California."
Supporters of the Jones Act vehemently disagree with those who blame higher gasoline prices on the Jones Act.
Michael Roberts, senior vice president and general counsel of Crowley Maritime, noted that domestic shipping capacity is higher now than a year ago.
"This would tend to drive gasoline prices lower, not higher," Roberts said.
He also noted that marine transportation makes up a tiny fraction of the overall cost of gasoline.
The incremental cost of using American vessels and crews in U.S. domestic trade is also very small, "more like a tenth of a penny per gallon at the pump. I just don't see any truth in those numbers."
The price of fuel expands beyond the pump.
The airline industry, whose largest expense is fuel, is also behind the structural change in the legislation that would allow foreign-made vessels to transport on U.S. waters.
"Marine transportation is the only mode of transportation that has a restriction on where the vehicle used to provide the transportation is built. And in this case it's the restricting the vessels used on U.S. waters to be built in the United States." said John Heimlich, chief economist for Airlines for America.
"We don't need to change the entire piece of legislation but we need legislation that can benefit and reflect today's economy. Any commodity that moves by vessel is effected here," he said.
Heimlich said that between the Boston, Miami Dade and Fort Lauderdale airports, the Jones Act premium on jet fuel combined annual of $80-100 million dollars.
"What this means for customers is either a downward pressure on the amount of service we can offer or an upward pressure on price," he said.
Airports that are reliant on the transport of jet fuel also include, Fort Lauderdale, San Juan, Alaska, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Honolulu.
"Bottom line we will pay several cents more a gallon to fuel up at Boston's Logan or Miami than at D.C., Atlanta or Chicago, in terms of transportation costs." Heimlich said.
With consumers feeling the crunch at the pump with the U.S. national average around $3.66 a gallon and other industries such as the airlines getting hit as well, the time could be now for Washington to revisit the Jones Act.
(Read more: Gas prices jump, and are going higher, says AAA)
But energy analyst Kevin Book, managing director of research at Clearview Energy Partners, is not hopeful,
"The Jones Act has been around for 100 years and it hasn't been repealed yet," he said. "The argument that opening tanker markets to foreign flagged vessels would lower gasoline prices in the Northeast may be intellectually correct, but it also is politically tone deaf."
"Arguably, de-bottlenecking the mid-continent could make this argument stronger even with rails contributing to east coast supply," Book added. "As crude pools in the Gulf of Mexico, the price might make the trip by ship more accommodating."
Petrowski added that not only would repealing the law be more accommodating, but it would also incentivize refiners to invest capital in their refineries to increase capacity.
That would not only help drive down the price of gasoline—because there would be more supply—but it also would create jobs.
(Read more: Apache sells some Gulf holdings for $3.75 billion)
Repealing discussions are not new on Capitol Hill.
On June 25, 2010, Sen. John McCain introduced a bill called, "Open America's Water Act," which would fully repeal the Jones Act on anti-competitiveness grounds. But the move failed.
The GAO recently released a report on the impact the Jones Act has on the shipping market between the U.S. and Puerto Rico, and if modifying the Act would make sense. The results were inconclusive.
Shipping experts say they are frustrated with the lack of initiative from Congress to have a comprehensive plan on how to bring the law into the 21st century.
"We have gained no traction with this mission, which we call 'short sea shipping,' with any of our politicians." said Bob Curt retired vice president of ExxonMobil's worldwide Marine Transportation Division,
"No one seems to care about I-95 traffic, safety (the bus accidents), pollution and trucks tearing up our roads," he added. "Ships would not do this. Our mission is not to attack the Jones Act oil tanker business, but to get trucks with dry cargo and containers off the highways between Virginia and Boston and reduce transportation cost, improve road travel, reduce pollution, especially in the Northeast."
John Hill, marine consultant says the time is now for the Jones Act to be revised.
"In today's maritime world, the Jones Act has morphed from a strong positive to the biggest single reason for the demise of the US Merchant Marine," he said.

The Hawks didn't have much more luck when they took on the other Rail City school in a High Desert League dual match Wednesday night.
Reed didn't leave any doubt, dominating to a 72-6 victory on the strength of six pins and six forfeits. In two of those forfeits, Reed wrestled in exhibition matches and earned pins, so fans saw eight pin falls on the night.
"It was senior night. It was the last time Reece Dassinger and Todd Good would be wrestling in this gym," Reed wrestling coach Dan Barraza said. "Everyone wrestled better tonight. We just took third at the Fernley tournament this past weekend, and we were behind Spanish Springs and Lowry."
The Raiders opened up the night with a pair of forfeit victories at 130 and 135 pounds. Davey Hibler did wrestle an exhibition match at 135 pounds and earned a first-round pin, giving Reed a 12-0 lead.
The first real match came at 140 pounds with Reed's Tyler Wright taking on Hug's Jose Estrada. Wright dominated the match from the early going. He owned a 12-2 lead before pinning Estrada with 32 seconds left in the match, making it an 18-0 score.
Neither team had a wrestler at 145 pounds, but then the Hawks picked up their only six points of the night when Reed had to forfeit at 152 pounds. It was all RHS from that point on as the hosts tallied the next 54 points with nine straight victories.
Dassinger got that run started in the 160-pound match. The senior, who is battling back from a back injury, manhandled his opponent. Dassinger had five takedowns and one reversal before getting the pin with one second remaining in the second period.
At 171 pounds, Damon Gebhardt also earned a pin late in the second round. His match with Edgar Tamaya started off strangely. Gebhardt received four points due to three different illegal move calls. Then he started earning his own points. He had an 11-3 advantage before getting the pin with 13 seconds left in the second.
Roberto Landu made it three straight pins when he took down Julio Lopez-Torres three seconds before the first round ended, increasing Reed's lead to 36-6.
The pin streak didn't end there. Sophomore Spencer Empey stayed undefeated on the winter campaign in dominating fashion.
Empey had six takedowns in the first round and his seventh stunned opponent Aljandro Cruz, leading to a pin two seconds later, just 12 ticks off the second-round clock.
The Blue and Gold picked up 18 more points with forfeits at heavyweight, 112 pounds and 125 pounds. But the matches in between saw a pair of Raiders pick up pins.
Gavin Chicking, at 103 pounds, got caught in an early 2-0 hole. However, he tied up his match with Adria Rodriguez thanks to a reversal. He claimed a 5-2 advantage heading into the second round with a five-second near fall at the end of the first. He then finished the job at the 3:32 mark of the match.
What ended up being the last match of the night was also the quickest as 119-pounder Austin Warner pinned Jonny Truehill 1:25 into the match.
The dual versus Hug was Reed's first win in HDL action this year. The Raiders improve to 1-3 in league duals with their final one coming at McQueen. They have lost to the Lancers by one point the past two years.
"We've lost a couple close ones. Injuries and people being sick have affected us. That's why we need to have depth and hopefully we have that next year," Barraza said. "It should be a good one (with McQueen). I feel they and Spanish Springs are the frontrunners for regional titles. We do want to perform against them."

As we brought the first pictures of the new PS3 TOOL, we also bring more information, thanks to the FCC.
Finally the FCC's images of the DECH-1400A have been made available for public viewing, and they show very interesting hardware differences.
One would assume with a newer PS3 TOOL that they would use a new board, but according to the https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/prod/oet/forms/blobs/retrieve.cgi?attachment_id=1067664&native_or_pdf=pdf, the PS3 pulls ~300 watts of power, and pictures show that it features 4 USB ports.
However, the few internal shots that can be seen feature a much smaller Blu-ray connector, perhaps SATA, as the pincount is greatly reduced. What makes this unit so interesting is the fact that it seems to take the best components from both old and new systems- a newer BD drive, but with the old style mainboard!
More detailed pictures are below in PDF format!

This measure tracks serious pressure sores - also called bedsores - that develop while a patient is in the hospital. Serious pressure sores are very deep, serious wounds that may cause pain and serious infections.
Pressure sores are caused by staying in one position for a long period of time. Patients who have poor circulation or who are unable to move have a higher risk of developing them. Hospitals can prevent pressure sores or keep them from getting worse by turning or moving patients often and by regularly checking and caring for the patient's skin. Average or lower rates of severe pressure sores may be a sign of that the hospital's health care professionals are carefully following practices to prevent their occurrence.

If walls could talk, they would reveal the secret inner workings of a house. Many of a home's mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems are hidden inside walls and ceilings, says Dave Pedigo, senior director of technology with Custom, Electronic Design and Installation Association.
"What's behind the walls isn't very glamorous, but it's what makes the house work," he says. "Most people don't think about the things inside a home's walls until there's a problem and you have to fix it."
The web of a home's mechanical workings contains numerous systems: plumbing and venting; cable television wiring; in-wall speakers for surround-sound; central vacuum; alarm and surveillance; electrical outlets; Internet access; telephone wiring; thermostat/humidifier controls; motorized window treatments; electrical heating and ductwork; natural gas pipes; exhaust fan ductwork and wiring; lighting, and framing for doors and windows.
"It can be crowded behind the walls of a home," Pedigo says. "That's why it's imperative to run conduits that contain the wires, with an access point at which to get to them, should you ever need to."
A homeowner can aspire to build a top-of-the-line "smart" home, one in which lighting, heating/cooling, computers, entertainment systems and security alarms and/or cameras are automated, and can be controlled by one or more keypads in the house or remotely through the use of cellphones or the Internet. But homeowners who want to renovate and upgrade an existing house can also install luxury system wiring, whether or not they buy the equipment.
"While it's easier to start building these systems into the walls from the ground up, there are also many experts who are good at fishing wires behind existing walls for new systems," Pedigo says. "If you're renovating a home, at some point, you need to discuss with your contractor if it is more cost-effective to tear down interior walls to the studs to run all necessary wiring."
Pedigo says it is especially cost-prohibitive to fish wires in old homes with plaster walls. "When it comes to wiring behind the walls, drywall is your friend," he says. "Designate and have wires and cables installed for electronic items before walls go up. Whether you buy the equipment now or later, you have the wiring all taken care of."
For example, if you're building a home, have every room in the house wired for cable television hookup. That doesn't necessarily mean you'll have a television in every room, but it provides options to a homeowner.
Pedigo says when it comes to walled-in systems, there are four types of contractors who install the labyrinth of wires, pipes and ductwork: heating, ventilation and air conditioning professionals; plumbers; electricians, and specialty electrical systems contractors. Generally, as the pipe or wire becomes smaller, those are the professionals who do their work later in the construction process.
But no matter how elaborate a home becomes with automation, Pedigo says always start with the basics. "Building codes dictate a certain amount of electrical outlets and switches. Systems that first go into the wall include heating/cooling, plumbing and insulation," he says. "After the necessities are taken care of, you move into more luxury items, such as security, surveillance and sound systems."
Fewer wires may be needed as more electronic components become compatible with wireless equipment and controllers. But, despite dreams to be wire-free, the power for wireless systems still has to be hardwired into a home. And a wireless way of life isn't without its drawbacks, Pedigo says.
"Hardwiring a home is still the fastest and most reliable way to implement an electronic system," he says. "While technology is moving toward creating wireless systems, you may experience interference or a disruption of service based on other wireless devices operating on the same frequency in your home or your neighborhood."
When building a home or renovating an existing one, check references and have specialty contractors install systems within their expertise.
It's also important to walk through with contractors to ensure all systems are in place, especially before walls go up. "Once the drywall is in place, you can change things, but it takes more time and money," Pedigo says. "It's up to you how you want your house to be customized, but it's better to think about everything you want before the house it completed, rather than after. I've never heard a homeowner complain about running too many wires for systems they may use down the road."

No. 3 Saints Sweep Away Hurricanes in Peach Belt Action
Contact: David Beall, email@example.com
AMERICUS, GA – The 3rd-ranked North Georgia softball team got back to their winning ways on Friday afternoon, sweeping both ends of a doubleheader at Georgia Southwestern in Peach Belt Conference action.
Game 1: North Georgia 8, Georgia Southwestern 1
Jessica Coan (19-5) was back to her usual self in game one, tossing a complete game and not giving up an earned run, while striking out 16 Hurricane batters.
Coan and the Saints were forced to play from behind when Georgia Southwestern picked up an unearned in the third inning. The run for the Hurricanes was the 17th unearned run North Georgia has allowed in 35 games.
The Saints appeared to be down and out in the last of the 6th inning with the bases empty, two outs and trailing by a run. Hilary Cox stepped to the plate looking to start a two-out rally and she did just that when she reached on a walk.
Karlie Gillam followed and roped a double to left field to put two runners in scoring position for Sarah Johnson. The sophomore promptly lined a single up the middle to plate a pair and give the Saints a 2-1 lead.
North Georgia continued to add to their lead in the seventh inning, scoring six runs on four hits, including a grand slam off the bat of Johnson to give the Saints an 8-1 come-from-behind victory.
Game 2: North Georgia 5, Georgia Southwestern 2
The Saints jumped on top of the Hurricanes early and never looked back as they cruised to a 5-2 win in game two and completed their sweep of Georgia Southwestern.
Kayla Minger got the scoring going for North Georgia in the top of the second inning when her RBI double allowed Karlie Gillam to come around and score to give the Saints an early 1-0 lead. Minger finished 1-for-3 with that one RBI and also drew a walk.
Senior leader Hilary Cox blew the game open the next inning when her three-run home run gave the Saints a 4-0 lead over the host Hurricanes. Cox led the way offensively with her only hit being the biggest of the game as she finished 1-for-3 at the plate with three RBI's and a run scored.
Melissa Dickie got the start for the Saints in game two, but it was Coan who picked up the win in the game, as she threw the majority of the action with five innings.
Coan threw five quality shutdown innings, allowing just one earned run on two hits. She struck out six batters on her way to earning her 20th win of the season.
Johnson added to her impressive day with another RBI and a double, when she came through in the seventh to give North Georgia an insurance run they would show not to need. Johnson hit a two-out double to left center, allowing Taylor Merritt to come and give the Saints a 5-2 lead that hold until the very end.
In a day that started off slow for the No. 3 team in the country, North Georgia proved to be too much in the end for Georgia Southwestern, as they picked up their 30th win of the season and moved to 4-2 in Peach Belt action.
The Saints will have Saturday as a travel day before taking on Columbus State at Cougar Field in Peach Belt Conference action. The doubleheader in Columbus, Ga., will put a lid on eight straight road games for North Georgia to open the conference slate. First pitch is scheduled for 2:00 p.m.

I received this as a gift and I was really excited because the bottle is absolutely adorable! At first, I hated the scent. But now, it's not bad. However, I would recommend people to buy the sample pack with all 5 of them before getting the larger bottles since these are more expensive than some other fragrances.

The number of officers and PCSOs are being cut to help Essex Police reduce its annual spend by £78million by 2016.
It follows large reductions in Government grants.
The floods have shown what an impact the volunteers can have and what a Special can do for their county.
Following the tidal surge Colchester's Leon Dias, chief officer of the Special Constabulary in Essex, said: "This was a really amazing response, true to the ethos of the Special Constabulary of providing 'resilience at times of peak demand'.
"Some officers worked duties in excess of 18 hours, some left day jobs early, some took leave from day jobs to help, some changed family plans, but everyone did so without moaning and with enthusiasm.
"I was very proud to be part of this excellent team and humbled to serve alongside my fellow Specials on Thursday and Friday."
Police and Crime Commisisoner Nick Alston added: "The emergency service teams and partner agencies all rose to the challenge of the flooding with professionalism and commitment.
"The response of the Essex Police Special Constabulary was magnificent, and we should all be very proud of their endeavours to keep the people of our county safe from harm. As Police and Crime Commissioner, I thank Leon and his officers for a special response."

Pours a full black color with no opacity. Very thick head at pour relaxes to around the rim with a very healthy spotted lace on the glass. Aroma is dark, sweet malts with some dark chocolate presence and a hint of black licorice. Flavor is dominated by the dark malts - sweet up front with a mellowed backend.

From a 330 ml bottle (with a code that I can't decipher) into a snifter.
A-The brew pours heavily, but produces a tall (two-plus fingers) head of brown head. The head drops steadily into a hummocky cap. The beer is nearly black and opaque. Good looking stuff.
S-The smell is all dark, roasty malts. It is chocolatey and sweet up front, with a decent dose of sweet, dark fruit (dates and prunes) on the tail end. Some licorice flavor, as well.
T-The taste is more complex than the smell. There is still cocoa, licorice, sweet dark fruit, and just a hint of hop bitterness. The malts really dominate here in all of their dark, sweet, roasted glory. The booze creeps up on you; by the end of the glass, the alcohol is noticeably warm on the palate (in a good way) and more fragrant.
M-A little thin, with mild to moderate carbonation. Drinkable for the style and ABV.
O-I was not sure what to expect here, but I enjoyed this brew. One of my favorite aspects was that it was devoid of coffee/whiskey/brett/barrel-aged gimmickry, but still managed to produce a pretty full-flavored stout. This is not Parabola, and it isn't trying to be, but I sort of like that.

Super thick head, dark like a dirty carpet. Beer isn't black, but it's about the darkest brown I've seen,
Smell is yeasty and oaky, slightly sweet. Some sour coffee notes.
On the first sip, I'm getting a ton of coffee and some earthiness, none of the oak I smelled. Some chocolate further on. It's velvety and smooth. Well-balanced but not terribly complicated.
Overall, I would recommend this one.

A- It's pretty mush pitch black with a dark tan head. Head retention is poor. The ring of foam that remains leaves nice lacing down the sides of the glass
S- IT smells roasted, almost to the point of being smokey. notes of coffee, cocoa, ad caramel are first noticed in large quantities. Upon further inspection, dark fruits can be found.
T- Dark roasted coffee and caramel. A little smokey. The finish shows notes of dark cocoa and dark fruits, figs, black cherry.
M- Medium bodied with low amounts of gentle cabonation.
O- A big surprise from Sri Lanka.

This is a chocolately beer overall, however it's that classic roasted chocolate malt with no real no real chocolate chocolate flavor so you're deceived. It has a good mouthfeel and has good focus of qualities, but lingers in too specific of a range to be considered a classic. Don't let this review fool you, it's a significant achievement from a region of the world that doesn't have a history in this style of beer. It was a Sri Lankan student of mine who recommended this to me and almost concurrently, I discovered it on on my own. Great beer from the south pacific. If you like Youngs Chocolate Stout you will like this as a dialed-back derivation.

330mL bottle. there is a bottle code, but no clear date.
almost black in color, with thin khaki colored head. smell is a combination of roasty espresso notes and dark fruit- black cherry, plum. nice. the taste starts with bittersweet chocolate, and then finishes roasty and acidic. thicker bodied with lower carbonation. works well, pretty smooth drinking.
overall - a solid beer, good example of the style

look: 4.5 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Serving Type - 22oz bottle
Appearance - Dark tan/black with a really nice 3 inch creamy head and tons of lacing.
Smell - Roasted malts, chocolate, coffee, brown sugar/molasses, some minor fruits and a little oaked aroma.
Taste - One of the beers I blindly picked in my first ever mix and match craft 6 pack, around 2003, and the one I truly enjoyed. Drank many times, now founded in 22 Oz bottle, and realized I've never reviewed. Taste starts off with roasted malts, some milk stout like chocolate creamy flavor. Coffee and chocolate are noticeable. Some sour/bitter raisin and plum come out after the first flavor of malts. Some smokey, oaked flavors are also present. Nice mix of brown sugar/molasses adds some flavor.
Mouthfeel - Malts are the main flavor, along with some coffee and chocolate, they coat the tongue. Some bitter fruits and added sugars cover the palate. The aftertaste is a little sour, chocolate and coffee, and a little sweet.
Overall - Just as solid and pleasant to drink as it was years ago. Its for sure not as tasty as some of the stouts offered nowadays but the sentimental value, 4.99$ for a 22ozer, makes it a winner. It is a little thin by todays standards but still its a quality drink, and something ill be enjoying for the rest of my life.

A- Pours very motor oil black with a one finger of a frothy tan colored head. Decent head retention.
S- Roasty. A slight espresso and caramel note to it. Dry and woody. A slight dark fruit.
T- A light roastyness up front. A ton of caramel notes to this beer. It has a bunch of burnt caramel flavors that last the whole way down. A slight smokeyness and char character to this beer. Almost like a smore. This beer has a Slight dark fruit and fruity ester to it. A bit of a sugary caramelized raisin or fig.
M- A good feel to this beer. A roasty and dry finish. High carbonation.
O- I have nothing bad to say about this beer. It is better out of a glass then the can. A big, solid stout.

Pours opaque and nearly black, with a modest mocha head that soon recedes into a veil of patchy froth. Aroma is mild, smelling of brown sugar and Saaz-like hops. The taste is bolder than the aroma would suggest, with a roasty molasses flavor, raisins, and far more alcohol than would typically manifest on the front end, even for a beer with a rather high ABV such as this. A stickiness lingers on the lips after sipping. The hop presence, while not especially strong, doesn't seem to meld very well with the malt, lending something of a two-faced dynamic to the flavor profile. Even the finish is conflicted, with a rather enjoyable roasted coffee aftertaste being subjugated by an artificial, metallic flavor that I'm more used to encountering in Baltic porters. This could almost pass for a Baltic porter if I didn't know any better. Acetaldehyde is also noticeable. The mouthfeel has fairly nice body and texture and is on par for the style, making it one of this beer's stronger suits.
While this stout affords bold flavor and nice body, there is little in the way of synergy holding it together, and the alcohol becomes overbearing as the beer warms, making sipping a near necessity. Not a bad stout, but a bit too all-over-the-place for my tastes.

330ml bottle from The Cave, Glasgow:
Deep, mahogany brown on closer inspection. It is topped with a foamy, light brown coloured head about half a centimetre tall which manages to hold very well indeed, particularly for the strength of the beer; it barely budges other than a very slight initial reduction of no more than a millimetre.
Rich malts to begin along with a strong, dark chocolate aroma that is also quite rich and hints at some sweetness along with some sugar and a bit of cocoa. There is some darker fruits present, notably cherries and there is also some roasted malts and a faint amount of alcohol towards the end.
A nice mix of cherries and various other darker fruits. There is also a good blend of rich malts, chocolate and sweet, roasted malts that are pretty well balanced and seem to work well together. I also seemed to taste a slightly milky flavour somewhere near the middle and some slight bitterness right at the end.
Medium in body, slightly tangy and with a nice fruity character. There is medium to high carbonation and a nice amount of alcohol lingering in the background too.
Quite an unusually fruity stout but a very nice one nonetheless with a lot going on, especially with the depth of character in the smell. This one is certainly up there with the best stouts I have tried to date.

11.2 oz bottle into a pint glass.
A: Pours a very dark red color with nice opacity. The head is a huge, foaming three finger khaki color that descends to one finger after a while. Plenty of lacing is left behind, as well.
S: Big, massive, hugely sweet chocolate. Some dark fruits, as well. Actually, come to think about it, there's a minor whiff of sour cherries - infection, perhaps? We shall see. I still enjoy the aroma greatly, but that foamy head should have been a giveaway.
T: The flavor takes on more of a roasted barley and coffee bean tone, especially at first, while waves of chocolaty sweet and - unfortunately - tart cherries seemingly via an onsetting infection. After a while, the tartness takes center stage. Some herbal hop flavors also try to pop up in the finish, as well. So what we have here is a lightly soured stout, and it kind of works. Not perfectly by any means, but there's enough sweetness here to keep it in check.
M: Quite light in its loafers with wimpy carbonation. There's actually an esophageal burn and a bit of stomach turning which completely tanks the mouthfeel score for me. On the palate proper, it's not particularly dry, but nicely bittersweet'n'sour; whatever the blue hell that's supposed to mean.
O: Infected - it just has to be. But thank Odin it's a minor infection that actually gives it a pleasant twist, instead of twisting my mouth sideways and dissolving my tongue. This clearly isn't the final product as it's intended to be - thankfully I have a penchant for a good Flemish-style ale along side my stout tooth, so I still think it's quite okay.
If you're bottle has "123881841" on it, just be wary.

[Suggested Glassware: Snifter]
The pour was a murky pitch black with an average (1-2 finger) chocolate shake brown creamy head that was mostly diminishing, down to a thin film and medium collar that pretty much lasted throughout and had good sticky lacing.
The aroma was of a roasted dark malt, mild resin hops and a leathery yeast with notes of chocolate, dried dark fruit (prunes) and a nice mild alcohol tinge.
The taste was very malty and just a tad sweet with a hint of chocolate early on, then progressed with a mild bitterness, a touch of dark fruit and a bold coffee note towards the finish. The flavor hung on for a decent duration after the swallow with a smooth choco-coffee taste and a mild alcohol warming sensation at the end.
Mouthfeel was medium in body with a thin oily texture and a medium carbonation.
Overall this was a nice a roasty brew, although I did find it to be just a little thin for a stout it did possess very nice taste and a great drinkability...

Basically pitch black in colour, finger of tan head, good retention, solid lace as well. Smell is of dark chocolate, coffee and a huge roasted malt bill, bits of dark fruit come and go, milk chocolate as it warmed up. Taste is fairly roasted up front with milk chocolate, moderate sweetness, mild bitterness as well as some coffee and dark fruit in the finish. Medium carbonation, medium full body, nice full creamy feel here. Nice stuff and quite drinkable overall, certainly got my $2.05 worth on this one.

Poured it and then sat down to drink it while reading the reviews on here. Noticed the first swig full of flavor and inviting. It was all downhill from there. It started getting sickly sweet or something offensive. I'm not sure if it was the mouthfeel or the flavors. Before a gag reflex set in, I rushed to the sink and poured the glass and what remained in the bottle down the sink. I switched to a Sam Adams Winter Lager but that would not enough to cleanse my palate. There's a reason a large bottle of this is only $3.50. Stay away.

330 ml bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 6/9/2011. Pours pitch black color with a nice 2 finger dense mocha head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Some nice soapy lacing clings to the glass. Aromas of raisin, apple, dark chocolate, roasted malt, caramel, molasses, herbal, light char, coffee, and earthiness. Nice aromas with good strength and balance; quite a bit on the fruity side. Taste of big dark chocolate, roasted malt, char, caramel, raisin, molasses, apple, light coffee, herbal, and earthiness. Fair amount of herbal bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of dark chocolate, roasted malt, caramel, molasses, light fruit, and herbal on the finish for a good bit. Good balance of roasted flavors with light herbal hoppiness; slight amount of cloying flavors on the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a creamy, chalky, and slick mouthfeel that is good. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a small warming present on the finish. Overall this is a good foreign stout. Some nice robust roasted flavors with good complexity; quite smooth to sip on. A bit cloying at times, but is a nice sipper.

Into a pint glass:
A: dark brown colored body that yields a nice offf-white/tan/mocha three finger head that slowly dies to a one finger and stays for most of the brew. Really nice spider web lacing graces the sides of the pint glass and leaving some nice rings.
S: based around the cocoa, nuts, coffee and malts.
T: basically the same adding a bit of nice roastiness and letting the alcohol come slightly in as it warms. The sweetness becomes a bit subdued.
M: medium with nothing harsh on the tongue and comes across very smooth, slightly silky.
O: I like it, and with the price ($2.59 for a bomber), I would definitely come back to it.

A: Pours very black, and looks fairly viscous. About a finger an a half of brown head which dissipates somewhat quickly. Looks like a nice stout.
S: Here's where the trouble starts. Smell is quite strange. Somewhere between skunky and slightly sour. Highly grainy. Not good.
T: Grainy, with a bad lactic sourness in there. Pretty weak roasted flavor. Some dark fruit, dates. Crappy, highly tannic coffee on the finish.
M: Might not have been bad here if it wasn't for the high astringency.

Average porter. Average price. Average... ho hum... blah... move on... If you want something interesting, certainly don't look here. This beer is a porter... sure... it's a porter... yup... it sure is a porter! I'm pretty certain it's a porter. It tastes and looks and smells like a porter. It's a porter allright! I'm bored of this porter. It's unremarkable and average all the way through.

Poured from bottle into Trappitst Westvleteren tulip glass. No idea the of the bottling date, my guess is fall 2011. Pour yields a dark brown almost black color, with frothy light brown head -- looks like a thick coffee. Two finger head recedes leaving some lacing and a thin layer of head; a bit more than a black a coffee, with a lighter head. Smell is not too overwhelming, not much there. Coffee and oatmeal aromas present, with a hint of licorice. Taste is nice and clean, coffee and oatmeal is persistent, but nothing too over the top. Hints of burnt flavors on the end. It is roasty. Mouthfeel is very clean and smooth, no bite. Feels like coffee roasts with no lingering harshness or bitterness. Overall this is a decent stout. Not my first choice or "go-to" by any means, but something I enjoy. If you like stouts, Lion Stout is something nice and easy to try.

I've been looking at this beer in stores for well over a year and finally committed to grabbing a bottle. Poured into a snifter.
A - Dark chocolate brown with a massive tan head. Seems a bit less viscous than other stouts. Interesting.
S - There things here: caramel, chocolate and a bit of coffee. The combination leads to a rich coffee aroma that is not overpowering, good stuff!
T - Starts smooth with a silky texture. The beer moves on following some rich caramel malts into a bit of bitter/tart notes from the coffee. ABV is well hidden with just a pinch of warmth on the back end.
M - A medium body that has very little carbonation (which is a good thing to compliment the silky composition). Drinks fairly heavy but soft to the palette. I like it.
O - Very surprised with this beer, for I anticipated for it to much worse! A unique blend of flavors makes this one to try for sure. A fine way to mix up my normal rotation of stouts. Bravo!

Opaque, black body with a thick, creamy head. Sweet chocolate, cocoa nibs, roasted malt grains make up the core of the smell. Rich, smooth mouthfeel. Silky. Chocolate, hop bitterness, and a rather strong alcohol flavor dominates the taste.
A decent, strong stout. A little heavy on the alcohol taste, but otherwise is a well-rounded dark ale.

Hey, I'm Carolyn Kylstra with Cosmo for Guys. I'm hitting the streets to talk to hot ladies about men. What do you think all men should know about you as a woman?
I think guys need to know that women are complicated.
I would say generally that the men are thinkers, they tend to kinda overthink and analyze. So, just try to keep that in mind.
There are times we'd like to just want to be left alone, and there are times like when we want our men to, you know, be with us.
Women like when the men are upfront with them in the beginning.
It's that we don't break when we hear the truth. So ,even if you have something that you don't think that we're gonna want to hear, we'd rather hear the truth than a lie or something or just like avoiding the topic, it doesn't work.
Sometimes, well, when we're not feeling great, we don't much [unknown]
You got to know, that sometimes how you speak to girls are not like one of the boys.
I don't know, I think that we're a lot like guys in a lot of ways.
[unknown] to, you know, needy or kind of--
So the guys shouldn't be too needy?
Jealous guys are the worst, right?
Although a little bit of jealousy is okay.
You know, I really think, yeah. A little bit is okay.
Sometimes, I'll say things and I mean it in that moment, but I don't mean it forever.
I totally get it. Sometimes you needed to take back.
Take that back, exactly.
We're complicated

text: P.J. Griekspoor Archives Email Author Follow @P.J. Griekspoor And, Suddenly, It Is Winter Kansas Viewpoint You'd think we would get used to this summer one day, winter the next, but every year it is a shock Published on: December 6, 2011 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Blog RSS Permalink Print What a difference a couple of days makes!! Less than a week ago, my petunias, snap dragons and sole surviving geranium were still blooming in my front garden. Now, the fountain sports icicles and the once-vivid flowers are more like puddles of color on the soil. It happens this way every year -- we get maybe one cold spell around Halloween and then a month of summer-ish November weather followed by a sudden chill down. You'd think I'd be used to it after almost 22 years in Kansas, but every year it is a shock. My biggest regret this year is I didn't get out there in the sunshine and get my Christmas lights up. Now I either go without my annual display (UNTHINKABLE!!) or I get out there in the cold and the wind and tough it out. It'll happen this weekend. I'm shivering just thinking about it. On the bright side: I did get a new load of firewood.

Kazan, Russia — Nebraska's Jordan Hooper had two points and two rebounds as the U.S. women cruised to a 103-72 victory against Sweden in the World University Games quarterfinals Friday.
The 6-foot-2 senior forward from Alliance hit her lone basket in the first quarter to give the United States squad a 22-16 lead with 2:58 left in the opening period. Hooper, a two-time All-American and All-Big Ten selection for the Huskers, added an assist and a steal in nine minutes to help the Americans improve to 4-0.
Hooper is averaging 6.3 points and 5.3 rebounds in 12.8 minutes for the U.S., which advanced to Saturday's semifinal at noon.
Odyssey Sims (Baylor) led the Americans with a game-high 20 points and Bria Hartley (Connecticut) added 17 points. While the United States shot 53.5 percent (38 of 71) from the field, Sweden shot 36.1 percent (26 of 72) and hit 1 of 19 3-pointers.
If the U.S. wins Saturday, it will advance to Monday's gold medal game at 12:30 p.m.

For all the claims President Barack Obama and other liberals have made about helping the middle class, the new national health care law - Obamacare - is more evidence they really don't care.
One of the proudest boasts being made by the Department of Health and Human Services is that under Obamacare, about six in 10 Americans will be able to get "some level" of insurance for $100 or less a month.
But that "some level" covers only 60 percent of health care needs. And the $100 a month is after tax credits middle class families will not receive.
In other words, while 6 in 10 people may get affordable premiums - but later get stuck with big medical bills - 40 percent of Americans will pay more. In many situations, including older people, premiums will be much higher.
No wonder Obama and his allies are determined not to deal with the merits and harsh realities of Obamacare. They don't want anything to get in the way of their legacy of "having provided health insurance to all Americans." The cost and the quality is irrelevant to them.
