reaction to the cabin fever mixtape
a lot of people have been hating on cabin fever, at least on datpiff. they say wiz is changing and that it sucks and all that. i think the opposite, it's just wizzle man being versatile. he can hit the mainstream crowd (black and yellow), the G crowd (Cabin Fever Mixtape), and the hoes too (Roll Up, even though i kinda like that too, it sounds geared towards the bitches). even if you don't think it was a good tape overall, wiz probably didn't try as hard as usual on it seeing as he didn't hype it up at all. but what do i know

Volunteer Hotline is now open to help fight a potential floodFargo, ND (WDAY TV) -- The City of Fargo and Cass County needs 1 million sandbags to help fight a potential flood.
Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) -- The City of Fargo and Cass County needs 1 million sandbags to help fight a potential flood.
Phone lines are now open for you to sign up to help meet that need. Day shifts are already filling up, but the need is still great. Since 8 this morning the phone lines here at First Link have been steady with people ready to lend a helping hand.
Cindy: "We're just answering calls, telling people where to go, where we're going to need help and the expectations of the days ahead."
Staff has been busy scheduling volunteers on specific days and time slots to make sure things run smoothly when sandbag central opens on Wednesday.
Cindy: "What we are looking for is groups of 5 or more to call the 476-4000 number to let us know what day they are hoping to come and someone from the city will call them back to make sure it's set. We obviously don't want 8 thousand volunteers coming on a day that would be more then what we need."
To put a number with the need...300 volunteers are needed each hour within the 3 to 7 P-M time slot to keep things up and running.
Cindy: "We need volunteers at the help line and we need lots of volunteers at sandbag central."
To fulfill volunteer needs the Chamber has reached out to all of it's businesses, by the end of the day more than 100 volunteers should be signed up.
Craig: "I think the closer it gets and the more snow begins to melt the interest level will pick up."
An email was sent out on Thursday looking for volunteers.
Whitney: "We already have one of our businesses as an example say they're going to send 30 employees."
The Chamber has played a major role with volunteer efforts in previous years. With 2000 members and more than 80 thousand employees the chamber hopes to do the same this year.
Whitney: "We have one of our staff people that is dedicated to helping make sure that we get the people scheduled."
Locals aren't the only ones ready to pitch in, a group from Bismarck has already signed up to help fight high waters.
To volunteer, call the 24 hour hotline at 701 476 4000
Sandbag central will be open From 8 A-M to 7 P-M Wednesday, April 3, through Saturday, April 6. It will be Closed on Sunday, April 7, and re-open 8 A-M to 7 P-M, April 8 through 13.

Editorial: The Inside Story
Welcome to the December issue of Quick Printing, which now includes expanded coverage of the overall printing industry along with the targeted coverage for quick and small commercial printers.
This month, our cover story addresses the "Three Myths of Integration" when building an automated workflow. EFI's Marc Olin warns that statements such as "That's the way we've always done it" or "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" can cripple any process improvement efforts.
On page 12, John Giles congratulates those printers who have survived the recession and points out the possible benefits of the shrinking pool of competitors. "The printers who are still here are expanding their offerings to take advantage of the new ways people are communicating."
Many printers often avoid performance reviews and appraisals because they can be stressful events. On page 36, Debra Thompson discusses the proper preparation and execution of performance reviews and ongoing performance feedback.
In Sales Clinic (page 37), Joe Rickard advises: "Gaining facts through good questioning technique is a critical skill for printing salespeople in building solutions that are difficult for competitors to meet."
It won't come as any surprise that the latest NAPL report finds major structural changes in the printing industry. On page 43, NAPL CEO Joe Truncale and chief economist Andy Paparozzi dissect that change and advise that the potential for growth still remains for those who are prepared to turn structural change into an opportunity.
In the first of a two-part article (page 44), Stuart Margolis and Tom Williams offer advice on when to use bank loans and how to assess their terms. In their opinion, despite the economy, there are still lenders that offer a variety of loan products for the printing industry.
This issue wraps up with Johnson's World (page 52) in which Steve Johnson advises "If the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, perhaps it is time to fertilize your own lawn."
Throughout this issue we offer our annual Quick Printing Company Capabilities, which each year allows industry vendors to more fully explain their offerings. As always, we remind readers that the advertorial information is provided by each particular vendor and should be considered in that light.
As 2011 draws to a close, we look forward to preparing for the new year and to seeking new opportunities and resources to provide you with information you can use to improve your business, your sales, and your bottom line.

The forests of eastern Tanzania are a globally important biodiversity hotspot. In this study 361 eastern Tanzanian restricted range forest tree taxa were assessed. Of these taxa, 223 occurred in the Eastern Arc, 150 in Coastal forests, 17 in Northern forests and 21 in the Lake Nyasa forests. The majority of the taxa had restricted elevational ranges with 76.3 occurring in no more than two 200 m elevational bands out of a total potential elevation range of 3000 m. The majority of the taxa occupied a small area in the eastern Tanzanian forests, with 201 taxa being only found at a few sites. In determining priority areas for conservation, selection of taxon definitions can have important effects. For example, tree size varies with elevation, so if only large trees are used then site selection will be biased towards particular areas.Resource Type: Journal Papers
Between 2000 and 2005, we estimate that 1.75 million ha of forest were lost from protected areas in humid tropical forests, causing the emission of 0.25–0.33 Pg C. Protected areas lost about half as much carbon as the same area of unprotected forest. We estimate that the reduction of these carbon emissions from ongoing deforestation in protected sites in humid tropical forests could be valued at USD 6,200–7,400 million depending on the land use after clearance. This is > 1.5 times the estimated spending on protected area management in these regions. Improving management of protected areas to retain forest cover better may be an important, although certainly not sufficient, component of an overall strategy for reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD).Resource Type: Journal Papers
Tropical trees in the genus Aquilaria Lam. are the principal source of gaharu, one of the most valuable forest products traded internationally. Although these species are the focus of increasing conservation concern, information on their status and distribution is lacking. Information from herbarium accessions, a national forest inventory (NFI), field surveys and gaharu traders was used to assess the distribution of Aquilaria species in Indonesia, indicating population concentrations in Sumatra and eastern Kalimantan.
Given current deforestation rates, these data suggest that all Aquilaria species in Indonesia classify as Vulnerable according to the IUCN Red List criteria.Resource Type: Journal Papers
To maintain the greatest resilience of Amazonian biodiversity to climate change as modelled by HADCM2GSa1, highest priority should be given to strengthening and extending protected areas in western Amazonia that encompass lowland and montane forests.Resource Type: Journal Papers
Although trade in non-timber forest products (NTFPs) has been widely promoted as an approach to rural development, recent research has indicated that NTFP commercialisation is often not successful. Analysis of the factors influencing success of NTFP commercialisation has been hindered by the lack of an appropriate analytical approach for comparison of case studies. We tested and further developed a methodology recently developed by CIFOR, by examining 16 NTFP case studies in two workshops held in Mexico and Bolivia involving a variety of stakeholders involved in NTFP commercialisation.Resource Type: Journal Papers
Virtually all of the tropical dry forests that remain are currently exposed to a variety of different threats, largely resulting from human activity. Taking their high biodiversity value into consideration, this indicates that tropical dry forests should be accorded high conservation priority. The results presented here could be used to identify which forest areas should be accorded highest priority for conservation action. In particular, the expansion of the global protected area network, particularly in Mesoamerica, should be given urgent consideration.Resource Type: Journal Papers
Fagus grandifolia var. mexicana (Mexican beech) is limited to about 10 populations (2-35 ha) in the Sierra Madre Oriental, Mexico. The objectives were to assess the current status and distribution of beech by surveying five sites. Species richness varied between three to 27 tree species in the canopy, and from nine to 29 species in the understorey. Basal area of trees greater than or equal to 5 cm dbh varied between 27.87 and 70.98 m2 ha-1, and density from 370 to 1290 individual ha-1. Beech represented 22-99.6 of total basal area, and 6.8-83.3 of total density. Beech dominance varied from monodominant to codominance with Carpinus caroliniana, Quercus spp., Liquidambar styraciflua, Magnolia schiedeana, and Podocarpus spp. Beech total population size ranged from 180 to 6300 trees with a total of less than 1300 individuals in four sites. Anthropogenic disturbance remains a major threat to these forests. It is uncertain whether Mexican beech will be able to survive without conservation efforts.Resource Type: Journal Papers
A reduction in forest area should result in a reduction of its number of species and, moreover, do so in a characteristic way according to the familiar species-area relationship. Brooks, Pimm & Collar (1997) applied this formula to the losses in forest area in the Philippines and Indonesia. Independently derived totals of the number of endemic bird species that are threatened with extinction broadly agree with these predicted losses. In some cases, however, predicted losses overestimate or underestimate the actual numbers of threatened species.Resource Type: Journal Papers
Although Asian bamboo species constitute a non-timber forest product of major cultural and economic importance, no detailed regional assessment of their distribution patterns has previously been made. To assess the potential of the existing bamboo species distribution data for production of regional mapping tools for planning the conservation of forest-based biodiversity, data on bamboo distribution and forest cover were combined. Over 1000 bamboo species from 60 genera of woody bamboos were incorporated, allowing the mapping of individual species or groups of species and genera, along with potential species richness and biodiversity hotspots. Over 6.3 million km2 of Asian forest potentially contains bamboo, with highest densities indicated from northeastern India through Burma to southern China, and through Sumatra to Borneo. The highest figures for potential species richness (144 spp per square km) were recorded in forests of south China, including Hainan Island. Despite substantial inadequacies and inconsistencies in knowledge of the taxonomy and distribution of bamboo species, this approach may provide a valuable tool for planning in situ conservation of forest biodiversity.Resource Type: Journal Papers
Commercialization of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) has been widely promoted as a means of sustainably developing tropical forest resources, in a way that promotes forest conservation while supporting rural livelihoods. However, in practice, NTFP commercialization has often failed to deliver the expected benefits. Progress in analyzing the causes of such failure has been hindered by the lack of a suitable framework for the analysis of NTFP case studies, and by the lack of predictive theory.
We address these needs by developing a probabilistic model based on a livelihood framework, enabling the impact of NTFP commercialization on livelihoods to be predicted.Resource Type: Journal Papers

The Hero's Journey: Departure Part 2: Call to Adventure
The Call to Adventure is the second part of The Hero's Journey, where the adventure is initiated. It has also been called the Inciting event, initiating incident, trigger, or catalyst. Regardless of what you call it, something has to happen to get the story moving. There are a number of ways that the Call to Adventure can occur. These methods can range from a message/messenger to some kind of disastrous event that forces the hero to take action.
Call to Adventure
There are a number of events that might move the hero into action. Those events may not even be caused by outside forces. It might be a desire that's boiling inside the main character. Because of this, choosing the right event is key.
String of Events
A series of events/accidents may force your character into action. Most of these events/actions/words/accidents will be coincidental, and will inspire your character to take on the adventure.
Temptation might be just the right element to get your hero to take action. Temptation could include the lure of a lover, treasure, knowledge, or exploration. The desire for something might be just the thing your character needs to start his adventure.
The Herald
The Call is often delivered to the hero by a character archetype called the Herald. Regardless of the Herald's personality, he'll always perform the same role. It's the Herald's job to initiate the call to adventure, and to get the story moving. A lot of the time, the hero doesn't realize that there's any need for change in his Ordinary World. He remains in a state of denial, and relies on crutches that he doesn't see to stay happy. The Herald is present to kick away those crutches, and make the hero realize that he's actually unstable. The hero will often have a difficult time in the beginning determining if the herald is good or bad.
Sometimes the Call to Adventure occurs because of the villain. The villain might invade the Ordinary World and start asking questions about the hero, or survey the area for any threats. This can sometimes alert the hero, forcing him into action.
Lack or Need
Sometimes the Call appears in the form of a lack or a need. This lack can come from the loss of anything precious, and the need to get that precious thing back.
No Options
The hero may take on the adventure because he doesn't have any other options. The situation might become increasingly dire, until the hero just doesn't have any choice but to take on the adventure. People in his world may even become fed up with him, and force him out.
Tragic Heroes
For Tragic Hero's, the Call may not be a positive summons, drawing the character out. It may instead come in the form of a warning of the Hero's demise, a failed adventure, or doom.
Multiple Call's
Because stories often have a number of layers, or a certain amount of complexity… they may contain more then one Call. If necessary, don't be afraid to include more then one. Do what you have to to get the hero out of his comfort zone.

Partita is a new and boutique approach for the new work habitat. The wooden X-framed legs present a solid and architectonic language to a high standard. This new offer brings the idea of "high touch" to the office as opposed to "high tech" presented by the steel-framed furniture of the past decade. Technology is invisibly incorporated in this design, where you can find alternative sources to dock in with your mobile phone , pc, laptop etc…
The overall design language strikes a fundamental tone by simplifying all expressions, concealing all details, and serving all contemporary needs without displaying the complexity of a configuration. It helps to create a calm atmosphere and natural aura; the touch of naturally treated wood surfaces introducing tactile elements into daily work - a quest for silent joy.
A specially designed steel under-frame connecting the legs to the table top is a functional solution that acts as a track for all IT links above or below the table as well as offering a horizontal cable dump with a big capacity. These connections can be easily achieved through centralization of capacity on this beam which can be installed by any service team. This allows a unique modularity as well as versatility, multiplicity, and easy customization of the desk system for corporate brands.
The desk attachment possibilities are; a) modesty/privacy panel under the desk, b) CPU holder, c) Selection of vertebrae for vertical cable traffic d) design of the cable channel for horizontal cable traffic e) Waste paper box. Above the desk attachment possibilities are; a) mini-screen in a special felt upholstery fabric, b) a tray or a small box above the desk for personal objects (wallet, mobile, cosmetics, medicines, stationery, plants etc…), c) personalized light fittings; task lamps, d) screen holder attachments, or e) signs, graphics.
Another important design decision is the organization of layout possibilities. The richness of the available configurations due to the geometrics of the desks is what gives a novel character to the program and this helps to create new possibilities in space planning. Due to the shrinking size of screens on any desktop today, the need to re-evaluate the proportions of the work top in relation to the activity that takes place is becoming even more crucial.
In a more collaborative work culture, it is critical that any table surface is planned and located to be used for working and/or meeting at the same time. Both producers and consumers are now enriching their overall product portfolios by feeding them with new plug-ins and add-ons. This shift from product to process allows a designed piece like Partita to be adapted over time according to personal needs and tastes.
Partita offers a complementary portfolio of building blocks that can be organized as mini-architecture in an open space, and creates a unique topography by arranging desks, side and personal storage and CPU holders, horizontally as well as vertically. As a proximity storage solution, partita offers a modular use of elements to be organized in accordance with the need of the work culture of each company. A small additional unit which acts as a power duct can be placed among any cabinet composition wherever needed, this provide cable and plug access for the user in order to charge mobiles, laptop or other electronic equipment at the place of working or during meetings without any distraction.
A provision for management desks is presented in the series by the help of special typologies that present a basic model with a side attachment. The depth of the desk is specially extended to aim for the sort of group meetings that a modern manager may hold many times during a work day. The depth provided in these desks can be up to 100cm if needed.
A critical meeting topography is central to the proposed layout solutions in Partita in terms of encouraging interaction in the work zones. İnteraction between employees is seen as a critical factor for organisational performance. The exchange of information and knowledge not only helps to improve organisational learning and teamwork, but also enhances social cohesion.
Within the same design language meeting solutions are also presented. The meeting table is designed with the same legs as the main design. Depending on the length of the table, a vertical cable duct is placed at the very centre to carry all necessary wiring from the floor grommets up to the vertical under-tray which is placed all the way along the table. Access to the tray and all plugs is easily provided thanks to the flap doors placed in the centre.

Three years ago, world-class figure skaters took the Peterborough Memorial Centre by storm with their sold-out show, Rock the Ice.
Wednesday (Feb. 6) promises to be just as exciting.
Famous faces will include three-time World Champion Elvis Stojko, Skate Canada Hall of Fame member Jeffrey Buttle, and Canadian Ladies Champion, Joannie Rochette, to name a few.
Rock the Ice is the first Canadian show to be put on by Germany-based Spotlight Productions, founded by skating champion and sports journalist Daniel Weiss.
Skating season runs from November to May. Off-season, skaters still find plenty of ways to remain active and involved in the community.
"I recently began go-kart training and I usually spend two to three hours a day at the track," says Mr. Stojko, adding that he's been busy traveling and performing as well.
Jeffrey Buttle, also an engineering student, jokes about going back to school if a career in skating doesn't pan out.
Life on the ice isn't just about skating. Both Mr. Stojko and Mr. Buttle have choreographed programs for themselves as well as other skaters. Mr. Stojko's musical upbringing has played a significant role in his skating career and eventually led to him recording his own album, 100 Lifetimes, in 2009.
Tickets for tomorrow's show can still be purchased by calling 705-743-3561 or online at www.memorialcentre.ca.

These women are known as 'Supermommies' - in Germany, Uber-mutti; in Spain, Madre Estupenda; and in Holland, BesteMoeder - and if you don't do as they do, a horrible fate is in store. If you've ever been shunned by the Amish, you know what I'm talking about."

As of Monday, March 5, 2012
© Copyright 2014 Albany Herald
I was on a school bus in 1934 with, I'd say, probably 17 children on the way to school. The bus driver was a good friend of my family. That particular a.m., this girl of 13 and I were sitting together and she saw my colorful pencil and asked me to swap her fountain pen for my pencil. I said OK.
As we got off the bus at school, this girl went to the office and told the superintendent that I stole her fountain pen. The bus driver was sitting in the office, and he told them exactly what happened.
I got reprimanded in the office, and my daddy whipped me that night. He told me, "We, your mother and I, don't send you to school to swap anything."
I learned my lesson. At 92 years of age, I remember that very well. Discipline at home goes all the way to the bank, and we must remember in our later day and age all children don't get disciplined. We must help wherever we can.
I remember the teachers at school lined us up for the class to see if you failed a subject and whipped each one maybe five or six licks. When you got home, you got eight or nine licks from your father. And it was all done in a loving fashion in front of class or the rest of the family. It made you think positive.

With a very high NRR (Noise Reduction Rating) of 33 and the fastest "attack time" in the industry at 1.5 milliseconds, Pro Mag Gold Ear Muffs provide MAXIMUM protection in extreme noise environments such as covered / indoor firing ranges or race day. So, what exactly is "attack time"? It's the time between the unit receiving a noise level spike and the time it takes to react to and compress the sound level to a safe level.
That lighting fast attack time is combined with an outstanding recovery time, which is the time it takes to resume normal monitoring after the high sound level subsides to a safe level. With Pro Ears, the attack and recovery time are accomplished without clipping or turning off the system so you hear all the sounds, only at a safe level with excellent clarity!
But there's much more to tell:

Cask conditioned at the 32nd Cambridge Beer Festival, as "Harveys Double Extra Russian Stout". ABV was 9.5%. Gravity dispense. Pitch black colour, low head. LOVELY complex aroma, surprisingly fruity: Plums, cherries, oranges. Roastiness, oak and cigars too. Flavour is extremely roasty and bitter, but also elements of oak and dark fruits. Warming mouthfeel, as expected from a 9.5% ABV beer. The roasty and bitter aftertaste lasts "forever", making it difficult to move on to another beer. Belongs in the top division of beers.

Pours very oily dark black with an ominous off white head.
Smells like black malt and alcohol.
In the taste, coffee and alcohol.
Molasses, earthy peat, little bitterness is left at this point.
Medium, smooth, may have lost a bit of carbonation that reads on the low-medium scale. Overall, a nice export stout worthy of celebrating.

Nice stubby bottle with label detailing some of the history of the Russian imperial stout style. Claims to be brewed under supervision of the first Russian brewery to produce Russian imperial stout.
Pours very thick, head looks like a thick chocolate mousse. Very dark almost black body.
Chocolate, raisins, Christmas pudding like aromas, maybe a hint of bannana.
Smooth almost velvet like. Coffee, bitter very choclaty, malt loaf like.
Mouth feel is very smooth one moment then overly carbonated the next.
Overall tastes great but seems a little disjointed through the sporadic texture and mouth feel.

(2009 bottle, kept in cellar temps presumably since obtained - drank it Dec 2013)
A: syrupy, black.... mocha head 3/4", thick foam.... head peters out fast.... small sheet of dark cap lingers long.... bunch of medium-sized bubbles
S: funky-sour.... sweet cherry, chocolaty-roasty.... raspberry and confectionery chocolate glaze.... dark caramelized sugars sneak through
T: wowww!... roasty as heck with a strong vinous undercurrent, but not so much fruity or bitter.... borders on sherry, but tempered enough by the malt and roast flavors.... super dry finish as in sweet aftertaste being nil, at first.... later, a sweetish, sherry-like, high-fruity finish - nearly red-wine vinegary
M: beautiful but brief initial silkiness up front, slips over a slightly powdery-roast dust into the supremely dry finish without desiccating... slow and soft release
O: this was absolutely wonderful.... better than the Courage Imp. Stout.... so much more complexity.... likely the best British imperial stout I've come across - what an imperial stout should taste like - tastes like history

This actually has 9 % ABV.
Let's see 10 years have gone by. Release of 2003!
Poured the blackest liquid I have ever seen, no light could get through and with practically no head.
Aroma of oak, dark fruits, licorice, toffee, earthy hops and coffee. Great, no infection! Let's go for the treaty then.
Distinguished taste with a strong character. Bold flavor of sweet concentrated toasted malts, lots of licorice, raspberries, definitely molasses all over it, prunes, figs, oak and cherries. Hints of cigars, condiments and shoyu. Not really sour, actually it has an elegant bitterness.
Liquorish body and as smooth as it gets. The beer was completely flat, all carbonation was gone. 9% ABV is completely harmonic and actually well hidden.
Awesome beer. A non-sweet Port Wine would be the closest drink to this brew. Not sure if I won the lottery here, but I am glad I got this release.

2008 vintage sitting on a shelf for 5.99 - should have known.
A: Poured a dark color with a nice thin mocha head
S: tartness, acidity, infection - some reviews indicated that this was there too, but that it was gone in the taste, so i proceeded.
T: a sour, acidic, tarty stout, and not in a cool tart of darkness kind of way.
M: a little light with appropriate carbonation
O: its no good, and if it was not infected I'd be pressed to see how it could be enjoyed. do not try.

2003 vintage
A-dark as can be, with a very thin beige head that quickly dies
S-Wow, massively vinous and dark. big hit of acidity and vinegar, too much so- it overtakes anything else that might be going on and leaves a massively tart and sour impression. Not appetizing and I'm thinking this might be a drain pour.
T/M- Thankfully the acidity doesn't dominate on the palate like it does in the nose. The carbonation is just right and contributes to a slick and oily body that coats your mouth. The vinous aspect translates well onto the palate. Seriously dark flavors of figs, raisins, and prunes coat the tongue with a red wine like complexity. The finish comes back to vinous and vinegar which stick to your mouth and lingers long after.
O- Really different, I'm not sure the nose is quite right, or as it should be. Maybe it didn't age quite right. It is very unique and probably more what the classic imperial stout was like as opposed to the chocolate and roast of the current american double stouts.

2003 vintage poured from an 11.2oz bottle into a US tumbler pint glass.
A: The beer is a deep black color, with a no head that fades slowly and no lace on the glass.
S: The aroma contains roasted malts, molasses, chocolate and a touch of dark fruit.
T: The taste is much the same as the smell with strong flavors of molasses, chocolate and some dark fruit but age has taken just about everything else out of this beer. The malt character is very hearty. The after-taste is slightly sweet.
M: Not crisp or smooth but quite viscous, heavy body, no carbonation left, finish is sticky.
O: Some flavor still left, a little filling, strong kick, I'm scoring the beer how it is at 9 years old but I plan on reviewing a fresher release of this beer at some point in the future.

Poured into a perfect pint. 2003 vintage.
4.0 A: Pitch ass black color. Half a finger of frothy light brown head that falls quickly and leaves no lacing. I'm impressed that there's any carbonation, so high scores here.
3.5 S: This smells like dirt wrapped in mud and roasted. Supremely earthy with mineral and soy sauce notes. Molasses, roasted barley, and some bittersweet chocolate. Quite interesting to say the least.
3.0 T: I have to evaluate the taste in the context of it being 9 years old. If this was fresh and thus the intended composition of the brewer, this would have to be evaluated differently. This is the earthiest beer I've ever drank. Dirt, mineral, mountain stream water dominate. Light soy sauce, molasses, and bitter chocolate. Pithy woodiness, moderate roastiness, and a light booziness. Interesting and not like much of anything I've had before.
4.5 M: Heavier medium body. Good carbonation, especially for a beer this old. Even a nice creaminess. Very good here.
3.5 D: For a beer that is almost a decade old, it's pretty good. I wouldn't want to drink this often, but I'm glad I had it. It's pretty tasty in a new type of way.

For International Stout Day, how about an international stout, a foreign Imperial Extra Double Stout, sounds epic. However, I also noticed the version imported here to U.S. is only 9% while BA lists at 10% so either it changed or they gave us the weaker version.... oh well.
2008 vintage on this puppy.
it pours out like thick black coffee, and reveals a huge fluffy head of 2 fingers, dark chocolate colored, fades slowly with lots of lacing that just coats the glass itself, over an essentially pitch black beer with no real light coming through.
Unfortunately nose starts with an infection set in, which is interesting as there was no infection appearance. A light sour tangy aroma, but behind that is a nice stout, a light acrid roast, bit of cocoa, fluffy nougat and caramel candy aromas, the chocolate caramel candies like milk duds, a hint of earthy malts and a touch of dark chocolate. The tangy infection fades very quickly luckily.
Taste doesn't really have any infection flavor, maybe just a hint in the background luckily. it does start with fluffy airy chocolate, a weird light bitter but slightly milky chocolate that's hard to really explain, with tons of caramel as well, and some fluffy nougat, adding just a touch of nutty flavor in the back makes this a combination of almost every candy bar out there, with much less sweetness thankfully. It brings just a touch of roast and acrid flavor but very little. It does bring some bitterness, but I think more from the charred roasty malt flavors, although a little earthy hop kick as well. It has that foreign extra stout like bitterness and earthiness which is unique and is that flavor I get an itch for from time to time. The chocolate flavor turns more towards baker's or dark chocolate as it goes, and fairly rich at the same time. Finish is like melted baker's chocolate, slightly creamy and thick, coats the mouth well with more bitterness and stoutness, little caramel and chewy malt like flavors, and a long bitterness that turns slightly salty even.
Mouth is fuller bodied, rich and thick with lots of carbonation that is infused well to give it a fluffy feel.
Overall pretty good. Other than that slight infection set in on the aroma it's nice. Good candy bar flavors without the sweetness, nice chocolate characters that change as the beer moves along, quite a bit of nice stoutness and bitterness throughout. Long finish as well.

look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
A - Pours a pitch black with a copper/chocolate-y head. There is some slight carbonation, but not very much.
S - Smells almost like a sour stout. I initially thought there would be a slight tang to the taste from my initial smell.
T - Malty coffee-ness and dates with a bitter chocolate finish
M - Light initially like a sour stout, but quickly becomes heavier and finishes likes a true imperial Russian stout.
O - This an an interesting beer and a good example of the style. Its initial smell lead me to believe it might have more sour characteristics, but it might be because lately I've been drinking so much sour beer. Nonetheless, the taste and mouth-feel were very pleasant and something I would drink again and recommend to friends. The cap said 2009, so I'm not sure how much the age of the beer affected it.

2008 Vintage Sampled August 29 2012.
Appearance- Jet back with a copper-colored head with a texture like velour. It only gives a thin surface cap but hangs around the edges of the glass waiting to reclaim thick legs that take entire minutes to fall. Opaque.
Aroma- sweet dried fruit, very vinous, suggestive of a brett character... getting chills and visitations from memories of thomas hardys. Flowery, earthy, leathery. Center of the aroma is well-fermented molasses, sour cherrys, faint metallic odor, baking bread, hint of ash, ..definitely some funk running up in here. I could smell this forever.
Flavor- Wow. Where to start? A little sour as anticipated, but grounded in a deep, rich, dark syrupy malt base with peppery alcohol dropping the bottom out for a roasty finish. Flavors and sensations pass in waves. Notes of baked apple and fig. Just bitter enough. Lovely fennel/ caraway dimension. Candied plum coming out with warmth. Chocolate-covered strawberries. At times begins to impersonate a well-aged fruit forward / jammy red wine. Hey rides into the sinuses. A little nut and mocha coming out in the finish. Amazingly the classic stout points of roast, chocolate, coffee, etc are basically the last thing I notice when drinking this beer. That stuff is really mellow and there is just so much else going on.
Mouthfeel - This beer makes love to my mouth. It is velvety, creamy, heavy, smooth, fluffy, oily, full-bodied, all at the same time. Carbonation is on the low side but certainly present even at this age. There is virtually nothing bracing going on at all. Smooth all the way down. Sourness and alcohol only tease the palate and tickle the senses making me want to keep this beer in my mouth as long as possible.
Overall - I don't know what to say. My mind is totally blown. I feel guilty I opened this without other people around. Why does nobody talk about this beer? It is literally the awesomest thing I have drank in my life. Why does this beer not have a higher score? Fine by me, I'll be buying it up every chance I get.

I was very lucky to get this in Secret Santa '11, 2001 vintage, poured at cellar temp. The cork was on the dry side, but this is an 11 year old beer. It pours with a very slight head. The color is jet black. The aroma has notes of cherries, coffee, wood, chocolate. There definitely is a sour note to the beer, it rounds out with coffee and chocolate. It is very smooth, very low carbonation, 9% abv not noticeable. This is the oldest brew I have ever tried, and it has held up quite well. A little different take on a RIS, but very enjoyable.

Vintage 2008, ABV 9%, 9.3oz Crowned bottle
Pours black with profound three fingers of mocha foam, this falls slowly, to a regenerative quilt of the same. Initial smell is like lacto and butterscotch. Hard to get past these two characteristics. The flavor is of leather, burnt beef, chokecherries and tobacco. Really nasty. Thin for the style with insane carb feel (although not a gusher) for the style. dry finish. Not sure how this beer earned all these medals indicated on its label, because this beer is shite.

2008 vintage. 9.3 oz bottle poured into a snifter. 9% abv.
Appearance is pitch black with a decent one finger dark brown head. Decent retention for a beer of this strength.
Quite a bit of cherry in the nose along with wood, dark cocoa, and red wine. Almost a slight sour, lambic smell to it.
Taste has a lot of cherry at first along with some other dark fruit. This then leads to a sweet, almost milk chocolate flavor along with some roastiness. There is a light tartness on the tip of the tongue along with a strong warmth from the alcohol. Mouthfeel is very slick and finishes quite sticky.
I'm sort of torn on this beer. There are many complex flavors but the whole package seems a bit overwhelming. The alcohol is more present than the 9% would lead one to believe and the sweetness comes close to being cloying. Not sure I would get it again but I'm glad I tried it.

2003 vintage. Served in a tulip.
Is it fair to critique a beer this old?
Tightly corked. Popped out clean.
Poured dark and flat. Totally flat. Nothing. Nada. Flat.
Chocolate notes picked up in the glass. Bitterness on the nose foretells what's to come.
Bitter chocolate. Like the most bitter chocolate you ever tasted that's intended for cooking, not to eat.
I want to savor this beer but just can't. No redeeming value to this beer at all unless you're into punishing your palate.
Drain pour? Haven't decided yet. I'm compelled to drink it just so I can say I did.
Update: I drainpoured this sucker. I just couldn't punish my senses any longer. Life is too short.

This one poured out as a deep black coloe with a brown colored head on top. the head settles pretty quickly with some scattered lace on the glass. The smell of the beer was a little on the musty side, very earthy and almost reminded me of a very old wooden barrel or something. The taste of the beer packs a little bit of a punch to it. I was surprised by the flavor but not really impressed by it either. The malts were roasted and that was ok but there were some other funky flavors going on that I wasn't too fond of. The mouthfeel of the beer was far too thin for an Imperial Stout in my opinion. Low carbonation and lacked depth. Overall I wasn't too thrilled with this brew. I can't see myself picking this one up ever again.

Corked and foil-wrapped 11.2 oz bottle dated 2001 per the label. Bought at Sundevil Liquor in Mesa, AZ. Label states the ABV is 9%. The cork was in excellent condition (couldn't as for better). Poured half the bottle (without disturbing whatever may be on the bottom) into a snifter.
Pours without head. The body looks black, but when held to strong light shows muddy-grey highlights. There is still some crimson life left in this beer, but it takes some strong light to show it. I didn't expect any red colors to be left, and I am impressed.
The smell is surprisingly powerful. Vinous notes, almost grape-like sweetness, and tawny port are prominent. A little swirl brings up a tiny bit of carbonation, and reveals that this was a stout at heart with sweet but charred notes of roast. Powerful, interesting, and complex. I am blown away by how this smells.
The flavor is crazy. I am not sure where to start. When it first hits my tongue I get a very sweet port-like flavor but this is very short lived. The next flavors are something like roast mixed with a tartness, and maybe the after-effects of what used to be hops. To this point the beer is quite tasty and easy to enjoy. It is in the aftertaste that things get strange. I think that this was infected (maybe intentionally?) with a lacto strain. A pleasant tartness and vinous flavor seems to be the result in the primary flavor. However in the aftertaste, there is an almost bitter acrid savory (almost salty?) taste that might be the long term result of this infection when paired with the roasted malt flavors. It reminds me of the aftertaste of infected Deschutes Abyss, except thinned out. As if the roast and the tartness conflict and produce a strange savory unpleasant taste. However aside from this mildy gross flavor, the beer overall is quite drinkable.
The mouthfeel is surprisingly thick after almost 11 years in the bottle. There is just a touch of carbonation left which surprised me, but I imagine this is due to the cork's excellent condition.
Conclusion: The more I drink this the more I think it was infected with lacto/pedo bacteria. In a way, I think that it is still somewhat tasty because of this, as the tartness is actually pretty nice and not overpowering. I wonder what it would taste like without it. If you love extreme aging for its own sake I say that you should try an example of this vintage, otherwise you will most likely feel that you wasted your money.

I poured this authentic RIS into a shaker pint.
Appearance- This one is a looker. Great three and a half - finger Tootise Roll colored head is quite magnificent. So many pock marks dapple the cap and are accompanied by tiny bubbles. And of course, the retention is great, with big, random flecks of chunky lace.
The body? Pitch black.
Smell- How incredibly unbalanced is this one! The list includes: red wine, roasted malt, wood chips, some dark fruit, and soy sauce. All of these flavors mixing together create some rather unpleasant scents.
Taste- Unfortunately this stout is not much better here. I get a definite feel of leather and some more red wine to lead off the drink. A nice touch that went far too quickly was some dark cherry tang.
Roasted malt is also doing some good things here, but it takes forever to pick it out after adjusting to the weird flavors. The finish is strong with some fresh mint and soy sauce. Wow. Wow not in a good way.
Mouth feel- The feel is good. Technically, this beer is fine. This one is pretty flat and slick, but for how long this was aged, I was expecting that. And the body is bordering on full.
Overall- Well, it is not terrible. But how incredibly strange can an RIS get? The smells and flavors are all over the place, and maybe parts of them worked, but as a whole it is mostly a mess.
Honestly, for how much a bottle of this was, I could never justify picking it up again.

look: 4.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5
The look is classic: opaque black with a thick tan foam. Not much more to ask for.
The smell is a link to Dark Lord, its long lost cousin: sweet chocolate, port, dark fruit and anise.
Mouthfeel is spot on: thick, full and chewy.
Overall, the flavors lean toward the sweet: caramel, toffee and dark chocolate take the lead. The signature flavor of this beer is a strong licorice note which has a cooling, minty finish that seems to be interpreted by some as a soy/acidic flavor. My guess is that's the source of polarization on the reviews and, needless to say, if you don't like anise flavors, this is one to avoid. My objection isn't to the flavor itself, but rather the lack of balance; there should be more char/coffee to balance the sweet and licorice. With repeated sips this lack of balance builds on the tongue. Overall this is a very interesting beer (both from a taste and historical perspective), but it's difficult to imagine a lot of repeat visits.

'99 bottle into a Duvel tulip. Shared with friends.
A: The cork slides out completely silently, and the beer pours an utterly flat, thick black color that coats the sides of the tulip with bright brown legs. Pretty nice for such an old, flat beer.
S: Definitely sour, but a great balance of coffee and molasses maltiness with acetic sourness. Smells like a Flanders Black, if there were such a thing. I'm a fan.
T: Sour up front, followed by coffee, chocolate, tobacco, soy sauce, and basement must. Tastes old but not spoiled, sour but not overbearing, roasty but not astringent. It's not great, but it's pretty darn tasty, especially with its rich chocolate aftertaste.
M: Still, thick, and sticky. Ok.
O: It took some getting used to, but in the end I really enjoyed this one. Not quite like any other beer I've had (even other sour stouts), it was definitely worth trying. I don't think I'll be buying more, but who knows.

Found several 11.2oz bottles of the 2003 vintage at Parti Pak.
Poured into snifter.
Aroma: Winey, bretty, and sour. Black licorice. Mouth waters in anticipation of the tartness. This is not how an imperial stout is supposed to smell...
Appearance: A hard pour yields no head whatsoever. This one looks flat as hell. The body resembles thick black ink.
Flavor: Black licorice up front, then Jaegermeister, then sour and funky, then a very strong bitterness, which clings to the palate like duct tape. Unpalatable...
Mouthfeel: Full body is thick as pudding. Had the flavor of the beer been even the least bit tolerable, the mouthfeel would have been great. Carbonation is low to non-existent as expected.
Overall: Lesson learned... I usually carry my iPhone w/ me into bottle shops to check BA ratings on beers I don't recognize. Had I done so this time, I would have promptly returned this $9 disaster to the shelf. I can only hope my fellow Indy BA's heed this warning and avoid this brew. 100% bonafide drainpour material.

Thanks to Andrew for this one. 11.2oz brown glass corked bottle. 2003, 9% ABV on the label.
Pours a thick, still black with some brown hues around the rim. Nose smells just awful...maybe infected, maybe just awful. Like old meat and tire rubber.
Palate...ugh...here goes...is foul. I can't believe this passed my lips! Acidic, acrid, rubbery, like a mouth full of top soil and vinegar.
Notes: AVOID this beer. Wow, that was f***g awful.

Bottled 2008; capped, not corked.
Appearance -- Pours a very dark oily brown with a finger of stiff creamy mocha head. It looks a bit thinner than the average American interpretation, but whatever. Handsome.
Smell -- The aroma is dominated by dark chocolate, roast char, raisin and tart cherries. Lots of vinous character, almost to the point of seeming infected, or least what I usually attribute this level of dark fruit character to in an RIS. However, smells quite good on the whole.
Taste -- Significant improvement from the nose. Big roast malt character, dark chocolate cherry bonbon, chocolate-covered raisin, hint of smoke and char. Again, very vinous and fruity in the tradition of the proper English style. Lingering flavor of dark chocolate, and berry skin.
Mouthfeel -- Feels full and creamy, almost velvety. Milder carbonation really makes this feel nice.
Overall -- Glad I picked this one up. a year before this I had a 2003 corked bottle (as pictured) and it was total garbage: soured, flat, and definitely 'corked'. If you're interested in trying this, do yourself a favor and hunt down a capped bottle.

*2008 bottle, 9%abv
A: Black with a huge thick tan head. Looks extremely creamy, almost like Guinness. Great retention and great lacing.
S: Sour, tart dark cherries with hints of roasted malt and dark coco powder. More than anything, the sour tartness dominates.
T: A very nice mix of classic RIS qualities (dark chocolate, dark fruits, roasted malt and coffee) with light sour/tart dark cherries. It doesn't seem like a good mix, but it actually goes extremely well together. As it warms, it gets even tastier! More dark fruits like dates, prunes and black cherries come out more. Slight tartness mixed with slightly bitter roasted malt flavors linger in the aftertaste.
M: Medium to fuller body, smooth and soft carbonation. Nice.
O: Very well done. Not sure what age has done to this, but if anything it has done it well. Its almost like a mix between a RIS and a wild or sour ale. Worth seeking out, or at least this vintage is.

Thomassd & EShorty - This is the photo I wanted to upload but it never came through in my previous post. I think this visual can help us understand what is happening in our bodies. We are working on gaining muscle and losing the fat. As a self confessed scale watcher for decades, this watching the scale on this program can play with our psychi!
Hopefully it helps to focus us on how strong we feel, how clothes fit and to stop being a scale watchers. I am sure you are doing great!!!! Keep up the hard work and it will all come together before you know it.
Sue, thanks so much for posting! I'm saving this to my phone and will look at it every single time I feel discouraged. THANKS sister!
E- Great post. Love the positive statement... "I'm feeling great!" that's awesome. Looking great in photos is a pretty nice bonus. Your turkey burger post reminded me to share my meatloaf recipe... it turned out great!
1lb lean ground turkey
8oz lean ground sirloin
1/4 c. egg beaters
2tbsp black bean/corn salsa (Newmans Own)- This may be the magic ingredient.
1tbsp olive oil
bell pepper
Last four ingredients to taste, mix it all up, cooking spray in a loaf pan and bake for about an hour @ 375ish. Couldn't be easier. Makes 6 servings, reheats great. Add a serving of brown rice, black beans, or roasted potatoes for a great meal. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Sue- that pictures says it all. We've all heard it for years, but I think the scale is more engrained in our minds than the phrase "muscle weighs more than fat"
LB workout today. Did not get up this morning!!!! Got to go at lunch. Been fighting a 3-day headache, thanks to the impending tax deadline.
1- lean ham, wheat sandwich thin, 1c. OJ
2- lean ham, 1c. grated potatoes cooked in olive oil
3- (Pre-workout) Whey shake, 1c. OJ, ON Amino Energy
4- (Post-workout) Whey shake, Apple, EAS Muscle Armor
5- 6oz Shrimp, 1c. whole wheat couscous, red peppers, cooked in olive oil, 1 banana
6- 8oz grilled pork tenderloin, green salad, balsamic vinegarette
7- Casein protein, 1c. skim milk
I'm stuffed just reading all that food. GOOD LUCK today.
Oh man, I just have to give a shout out to BDubs! It's soooo delicious! But OMG, awhile back when I was starting to care about my baby weight, I decided to order the naked tenders (gross) and guess what? THEY CAME WITH FRIES. Are you effing kidding me?!?! How does that work? I mean, I ate them anyway, but still. Help a waistline out. ;-)
Thomassd--good to see you back!!! Check in more often! About the weight thing....in 5 weeks (this is my 6th week)I've lost 5.5 lbs. Not a ton, but pretty on point with my last challenge where I lost 12 lbs total. Anyway, I really do see a difference in my photos. My clothes are still pretty close to the same fit though....Are you taking weekly photos?
Shorty, I totally kicked the ick! :-) And this morning I followed your and Jr's advice and had a shake within a half hour of the end of my workout. AND drank lots of water before/during, not so much after....baby steps! Oh, thanks for sharing about the burger....I was wondering....Have you made the scampi? Amazing. I did it with chicken since I didn't have shrimp but it's mega yummy.
Hey Jr--I'm mega jealous of your food consumption. :-) How does it feel? Like, do you feel like you're stuffing yourself or is it awesome???
Sue--Hey FB friend! ;-) I wanted to say that you already look REAL GOOD now, girlfriend. Can't even imagine what your 12 week pics will look like!?!? Dang, girl!

Foods planned: S1: EAS Shake M1: EFL Pancakes/Clem/Coffee. M2: Mini Meatloaves/sweet potatoes/green beans S2: SC/Yogurt M3: No clue, but I'll figure it out. S3: EAS Shake
Obstacles you have to overcome today: nada, feeling good!
Help you need or some great tips you want to share: So I was thinking about this last night as I making my dinner....I do some weird combos when I'm only cooking for myself. My new favorite thing to make is a cup of premade tri-color pasta scrambled with 2 eggs, EVOO spray, garlic powder, a little seasalt and pepper, and a few shakes of grated parm (the stuff for spaghetti). Omg, I LOVE it. Kinda weird, yes, but so yummy. And more like comfort food. Anyway, thought I'd share my weirdo combo ;-)
Positive statement about yourself: The only non-freeday "cheat" I've done in 6 weeks is ONE starburst jellybean. I'd say that's something to be proud of; especially with temptations all around. Good job, girl!
Gina- the diet is good and bad. There are times, like last night trying to down a cup of yogurt and a scoop of casein protein when I just felt like I was stuffing myself (and I was). That isn't fun. But the stuffed feeling doesn't linger like it does with a half a pizza. And I don't feel bad, just full. Also, I wish I wasn't getting 75+g of protein from shakes, it's just really hard to eat that much from whole sources that aren't loaded in saturated fat.
Also- I don't think I've told you how jealous I am of your home gym equipment. It's just my wife and I in 2000sq.ft. and we can't seem to find room for a home gym or an office... something's wrong with this picture.
2000 square feet and you can't find room? hehehe. :-) We have 4 bedrooms. One of them is the gym--we have the huge mirrors covering one wall and everything.
What's funny is that my Husband is a tennis pro and we get free membership to his really awesome club 3 miles away. I never go. I prefer my home gym.
Oh, and that's A LOT of protein shakes.....
Seriously, it's Thursday already?!? Time is flying…
Jr, how's the headache?? Um and I wish I liked the photos that were taken of me this past Monday. They gave me motivation to keep at it because I'm sick of not liking what I see. I will say, this was the first time I was more like "eh" because I know I'm on the right path and will one day not mind what the pictures show! And thanks for the recipe - sounds fantastic!
Gina, glad to hear you kicked the ick! Did the shake help after your workout?? Ummm, I have not tried the scampi but am thinking that will be my dinner come next week. Looks like I have 3 great options for dinner meals coming up: scampi, salmon, meatloaf. Woop woop! I'm glad to read that I'm not the only one who likes weird food combos :) One of my faves is scrambled eggs with a side of peanut butter. People always seem to cringe at that one??
Sue, I concur with Gina, you are going to look even more fabulous at the end of this! You and Jr should see how many magazine covers you can grace :) Get it girl!!! And that picture of the fat vs muscle still just amazes me.
Shout out to all of the other CCers - hope to hear from you all soon :) Please come back!!!

Hello, fantastic new friends, amazing support, my confidence is coming back, don't even get me started on the overall health benefits, etc…the list could go on and on!
Thank you guys so much for the words of encouragement. I have actually gone up a few pounds but my fat % has gone from 35 to 21.9 ( I hope that's correct) I am using calipers and this web site calculator. I see a difference in my body and my weight isn't a real issue as long as I get the results I want. You guys are so uplifting to read your posts when I can get to the computer. I will try so hard to check in more often.
Dang_Gina- I am taking pictures and actually its time for my 4 weeks ones
jrmcnaircpt- totally agree with you on the stuffing thing. I had to eat cottage cheese and an apple last night for meal 6 and I was so stuffed I was forcing myself to eat it. I did however not feel that yucky bloaty gross feeling of over stuffing with the wrong foods and it only lasted about 30 minutes.
Dang_Gina- I wish I had a home gym especially in the winter but our Ymca has an awesome hot tub so that's my reward everyday after my workout - woot woot-
Everyone keep up the good work. Its finally above 40 here today so I may get out and run with the dog just for fun.
Out the door to the gym- taataa for now.
Thomassd, you are rocking it!!! Keep it up sister - you're seeing results = most important; don't look at that damn scale. And remember, the boys at the club noticed ;) Enjoy your hot tub time - you've earned it girl!!
I think I'm addicted to Cottage Cheese Crack. First thing when I get to the office, I update my diet list for the day, then check in on the Cottage Cheese Club, to see how everyone's doing.
E- headache left about 11am yesterday, finally! Just in time for a killer LBWO, that I'm feeling today. That peanut butter on wheat with coffe is one of my favorite breakfasts. In fact... that fits into my diet today, so I think I may have that right after this post! I see you're mixing up the fruits a little... was your skin turning orange? ;)
Gina- that club sounds nice! Another reason i've never really pursued the home gym, is that having others around me helps motivate me. It's weird, but I enjoy a crowded gym, as long as people aren't obnoxious meat-heads and I can get to the equipment I want to use.
Thomassd- sounds like you're spot on, and seeing good results. I hope those 4 week pictures keep you motivated. I remember, my first set of pictures showed very little change, but I knew I was definitely changing.
Workout: Had a great UBWO push muscles (chest, delts, triceps) 6:30am
1- Whey, 1c. OJ, ON Amino Energy (pre-workout)
2- EAS Advantage, Apple, EAS Muscle Armor (post-workout)
3- Oatmeal (scratch that)--- Wheat toast, peanut butter, coffee
4- 8oz grilled chicken breast, 1/2c. black beans, salad (may throw the oatmeal in here)
5- 8oz grilled pork tenderloin, 1/2c. black beans, 1oz raw almonds, banana
6- 8oz grilled chicken, wheat sandwich thin (if you haven't found these at your grocer, they're awesome!)
7- Casein Protein Shake, 1c. skim milk
OMG, hey everyone!!! I'm totally with JrMc--completely addicted to the CC crack, too! Hello, my name is Dang_Gina and I'm a Cottage Cheese Club-aholic. ;-) I look forward to it alllllll day! I check the forum the entire day and a couple times at night, too! I only wish our founder was here to see the way I group feeds off each other--in a good way! Chubmom.....where you at, girl?
JrMc--Back in the day, for Challenge 1, I did all my workouts at the gym. Which was fine at the time because I worked there and my now-husband did, too. And we would workout together and flirt with each other ;-) ANYWAY, I'm not a fan of uber competitive people and sometimes I felt like all the rests between sets were uncomfortable. Like everyone was wondering what the hell I was resting for after 6 reps?!? (I'm sure that no one actually cared....)
Shorty--I'm trying to figure out how, exactly, one goes about eating scrambled eggs with PB? Like, do you put a dollop on your plate and "dip" the eggs? I'm going to need specifics... ;-) Oh, and most importantly, I'm so happy to hear you're feeling more confident! You totally should; you're hottie on your way to a slammin body! ;-)
Thomassd--Awesome, I'm so glad you're taking photos. You should post them!!!! We'll tell you how hot you are :-) That's some major body fat progress--damn! Good job!

Help you need or some great tips you want to share: Stacy's Naked Pita Chips. Baked. Yes or no?
Positive statement about yourself: Keep up the momentum!
ok im going to try and upload pictures. The yellow one is week one day one. The grey one is week 4 day 3
wow sorry those are really BIG....lol
Thomassd--Girlfriend, you look awesome!!!! I can definitely see a difference! Your waist has slimmed, you have upper abs forming, and don't even get my started on your calves! ;-) Sorry....this might be getting creepy now, haha. Keep up the great work!
Wow Thomassd!! I see huge progress!! It is hard to believe that your scale hasn't moved because you look amazing. Keep it up!
Gina- on the pita chips, I would lean towards keeping those on a free day. Maybe make your own pita chips by taking a wheat pita, cut in triangles, spray with Pam and seasoning and toast it up. Not quite the same but a bit healthier?
I am going to try and make feta, kalamata olive turkey burgers this weekend. My stomach just jumped thinking of them. I love anything with feta and olives in it.
And I am envious of the home gym! My 'home gym' is my power blocks in my bedroom. Cardio is impossible to do at my house which stinks but I am working around it. I used to be a HUGE runner. Like a short run was 6 miles. Last Jan '11 when my knee flaired up, I was told I have arthritis in my knee that was moderate. My knee still flaires up sometimes but I have never been able to get back out to running since Jan '11. Very sad as I did many races, halfs and my fav - Reach the Beach (5 times). *It is one of my dreams that after this challenage, my knee might be strong enough to go out for a little tiny run around the block*. We shall see!!
Workout done: Cardio on eliptical 45 mins & abs
Foods eaten: S1: EggWhite/EngMuff M1: EggWhite/EngMuff M2: LowCarbFlatbread/Turkey/LowFatCheese/Wrap S2: 3StringCheese/Apple M3: Chicken/Veggies/Grapes. S3: CottageCheese/Tomatos/Blueberries
Obstacles you have overcome today: Too busy & kids crazy but day is over. :-) I wish I could have a glass of wine.
Help you need or some great tips you want to share: So how long do you work on your abs? Like how many minutes do you does your ab workout last? I am wondering if I am doing enough.
Positive statement about yourself: I have made it to Thursday night! :-) I am looking forward to my free day, is that sad?!
