I am new to being a Atheist and I keep having people mostly family question me over and over again. I find I am at a big disadvantge because I don't have a lot of knowledge about the facts and the proof of no god( im not sure if that made sence).
When I say to them" I just dont believe that is all" that is not good enought for them. And they keep throwing things at me like bible verses and so forth. I have not read the bible enought to counter what they are saying. I feel totally dumb when it comes to those who question me and I hate that. I think it makes me and other Atheist look bad. I have made a few attempts to explaine that I do not see any proof for a God and that it is just what I believe. I have come out and even asked why it matters so much to them what I believe, I am not hurting them in any way. And they say to me prove there is not god. The best I can say to them is prove there is a god. They say to me we have faith and then tell me I also have faith for me to belive there is no god it takes faith. That is just plan crap to me. But I end up being shut down and I feel it is the lack of my information.
I have tried to read books like The Making of the Fittest by Sean B. Carroll, Darwin, Christopher Hitchens and to be honest they are hard reads for me. I have found a book called The homemade Atheist by Betty Brogaard " A Former Evangelical woman's Freethought Journey to Happiness" That is a little easier to read. But it does not state many facts or im just missing them.
What I would like help with is, is there some books out there that have facts and information that is a somewhat easy read that will help me stand up to those who come at me.
I want to learn as much as possible for myslef and so I can have a intelligent conversation.
My husband is a Atheist and we have some really good talks but he is way above my head in his knowledge and I at times feel like im just not getting it. But I will keep trying.
If anyone has any ideas for some reading I could do to help me out here I would love it.
I will even keep tying to read the ones that seem hard to me to understand but maybe a few books that are a little simpler to start out with.
I am sorry for the any words not spelled right I am in a hurry and also a bit frustrated as I was hit with questions once again just last night. I did my best but feel I fell short.
Thanks for your time and any advie given

Just google "Bible Contradictions". Or check out this: http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/2G2dif/www.thealmightyguru.com/Atheis...
You will find reasons to not believe in their lies. Don't be harsh with them, just tell them you have a hard time believing any of it when it contains so much confusion.
Also, while I am an Atheist, I hold on to a piece of my former beliefs, which is Deism. When I split from Christianity, I chose to look into Buddhism and Deism and used them both. Deism for the rational belief and reason, and hope in a creator, and Buddhism for the morality and teachings of peace and balance. However, over the last 9 months, I've strayed away from Deism because I kept looking into science and contemplating on the idea of a creator. And as of now, I'm an Atheist and will remain until Science proves be wrong. BUT!!!! Since you are on your path of searching for answers, buy these books: The Age of Reason (both parts, a 2 part book, most online versions contain both) by Thomas Paine and Deism A revolution in Religion, a revolution in you - By Bob Johnson.
Both of these books are Deists books, but the reason I hated them at first became the reason why I loved them so much. They both contain so much information that proves Christianity to be false. They show contradictions and flaws in text and in thought, in science and in reason. http://www.deism.com/books.htm
I'm not telling you to be a Diest, I'm just telling you that these websites contain a whole lot of information that lead me to where I am today. I will vouch for them. Plus, it's good to hear arguments on all sides.
Thanks I will check out the site.
Hi CJ and welcome. First of all, don't ever feel that you have to explain your position or your world view. You are an individual with the same rights as them and they need to respect your privacy. Having said that, you are doing the right thing by trying to educate yourself and all the suggestions given are all fantastic. I would like to offer one more... read the bible. The bible is the single biggest resource for atheism in the world. And I mean read it cover-to-cover. you will come face-to-face with giants, sea monsters, unicorns, a flat earth, UFO's, zombies, prophisies, etc. Most christians are completely unaware of what is in their own book and how outlandish it really is. They go to a members-only club for 1 hour a week and listen to some guy read to them and then he tells them what he just read means. The stuff they are saying to you is just regurgitation of someone elses ideas. I would like to also suggest the website evilbible.com. Its always helpful to know what the god of love has to say about rape, slavery, infantcide, genocide, and other equally pleasant topics.
Stay strong. You are NOT alone.
Thank you I will use the wesite you gave me. I guess I never thought of reading the bible front to back would be helpful but when you put it the way you do It makes sence.
There are some atheist youtube channels that address a lot of the areas you're concerned about. While some simply mock the Christian side, there are many videos that examine popular arguments and then present well thought out counter arguments.
Here are some channels you may find useful in countering the typical Christian arguments:
Village1diot (a lot of Atheist Experience broadcasts are posted there... great show. you can learn a lot from this one)
This "debate" has a lot of typical arguments from the Christian side:
You might do well to hang out in a Christian forum and pick up on the BS they spout there when they attack atheists. For every answerer they give, you can most likely find the counter provided on one of the youtube channels above… or even on this site. It's just a matter of educating yourself about what both sides are saying. With a bit of study and practice, it won't be so intimidating to debate believers.
Thank you for the wesites. My husband showed me one called Christian apologetics.
They state that it is a website that is in defence of the christian faith through logical arguments. I have not read it yet just a few lines enough to know there will be not much truth to what they are saying. But will be good to know what is being said.
Again thank you
Thanks for this post CJ.......I am sure there are many of us in the same situation and after reading through all the information I have discovered some new interesting site to visit
Type in 'Atheist Religion Debates' in you tube! Watch all the debates you can! It's perfect for understanding silly Christian arguments and finding great ways to counter those silly arguments!
It's easier than reading books... and more entertaining :)
Yes I really enjoy watching and listening to the debates. I find I love to watch Christopher Hitchens debate people . I have watched Bill Maher also and find some of what he says interesting. Have even seen some people I have never herd of Sam Harris for one I like him also. Love Richard Dawkins . I will check out the Atheist Religion Debates also
Thanks again
I have also herd Kurt Cameron and ohhh what is his name Ray Comfort ( don't know about the spelling) and Ohhhh my I was amazed at the banana idea. I mean Really.

Los Angeles Times (10.09.12)
The Archives of Internal Medicine recently published an article on what is thought to be the first analysis of its kind— researchers assessed HIV mortality rates among different racial and ethnic groups, including their level of education and gender. The authors analyzed records of more than 91,000 HIV-related deaths among adults between the years of 1993 and 1997. The study concluded that even though the extensive usage of multidrug treatments has greatly reduced HIV-related deaths, mortality rates remain disproportionately high for African Americans, particularly those with limited education, and HIV death rates were significantly elevated among blacks, compared to whites, within every category.
Findings covered the following: For males with the highest education levels, mortality rates per 100,000 population decreased from 118 to 15 for blacks and from 26 to 2 for whites. The mortality rate for black women with low education remained steady at 27 per 100,000. The authors of the study suggested that black men and low-income black and Latino women faced greater risks due to lack of knowledge about their own testing status, HIV prevention, social stigma, and marginalization, and a lack of accessibility to healthcare. The use of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) for HIV has caused HIV mortality rates to drop significantly for all groups since 1996, except black women with 12 or fewer years of education.
"These findings suggest the need for focused interventions and resources to facilitate the identification of high-risk individuals, as well as entry and retention into care for these most vulnerable groups affected by the HIV epidemic in the United States," the authors wrote.

Tennessee Shakespeare Company presents its Vaudevillian The Taming of the Shrew inside Hugo Dixon's new 1927 home
Memphis, TN (March 20, 2014) – – Tennessee Shakespeare Company (TSC), the Mid-South's professional classical theatre, presents William Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew inside Dixon Gallery and Garden's Winegardner Auditorium from April 23 – May 4 in Memphis.
Directed by TSC's Founder and Producing Artistic Director, Dan McCleary (Hamlet, The Tempest, Glass Menagerie, Macbeth, Othello, Julius Caesar, A Midsummer Night's Dream, As You Like It), this roaring '20s production is sponsored by Ann and Wellford Tabor. The exclusive media sponsor is CA Media/gomemphis.com. Additional funding comes from First Tennessee Foundation's ArtsFirst.
Likely inspired by the European traveling troupes performing Commedia dell'arte, William Shakespeare composed either or both The Taming of the Shrew and The Taming of a Shrew between 1590-1594. Commedia was a comedy of broad humors that cast skilled actors and clowns in stock character roles, playing traditional storylines but with improvisations employing daily news and lazzi (gags, bits).
With a familiarity and even popularity today that rivals that of over 400 years ago, Shrew features a famous pair of hard-headed, though soft-hearted, lovers in Kate and Petruchio as they make their way from an impossible first date, through a rushed marriage and famished honeymoon, and finally a rare coming-together that has been staged as many ways as there are productions.

"I was very pleased with the quality of the card. I did add the pearlized paper and was happy with my choice. The picture quality was good and everything arrived promptly."
"After days of narrowing my search, I'm so happy that I chose this card. They turned out wonderful and the opportunity to add additional pictures to the back allowed me to share more memories with my family and friends! I love them!"
"This was a perfect holiday card. The wording is simple yet so fitting for the time of year. I really appreciated the fact that you had some flexibility with personalizing the border background as well as the wording and front size and type. The quality of the paper was great and did not distort the picture in any way. All 200 cards arrived with the exact same quality. The only very small draw back was that the card did not fold perfectly. It was a little longer in the back than the front but that did not take away. Everyone who received the card said it was our best one yet. Thank you! This was my first time using this site and it was such a positive experience that I will definitely use again."
"I loved the colors of this card - I ordered the black with gold and then I chose the vintage setting for the photo I used and it matched the colors in the card very well."
"The card turned out even better than expected. I used the sunshine filter on the photo (I used a color photo of my kids in front of the Christmas tree) and the yellow tint to the photo really went well with the gold in the damask pattern. Quality was outstanding and I am very pleased with my purchase. It was nice that tinyprints offers modified rectangular envelopes for their square cards. It was nice to not pay extra for postage. I often avoid square designs for this reason."

San Antonio Independent School District has named Manuel Isquierdo, who is currently the superintendent of Sunnyside Unified School District in Tuscon, Ariz., as the finalist for the superintendent position.
It's been more than a year, but trustees finally made the decision at a special board meeting on Monday night. Isquierdo was the only one of three candidates called back for a second interview.
In order to curb the amount of debt owed by the Texas Department of Transportation, Sen. Kevin Eltife, R-Tyler, is proposing the state raise the sales tax by one-half cent.
"Over the past ten years a large part of funding for TxDOT projects has been done by issuing debt. TxDOT has outstanding debt exceeding $12 billion. If we continue down this path it will 2045 before all these bonds are paid off and it will cost the taxpayers about $28 billion including principal and interest," Eltife said.
An Article 32 evidentiary hearing is scheduled for this morning in the case against Senior Airman Christopher Oliver of the 324th Training Squadron.
The former military training instructor is charged with having unprofessional relationships with three basic trainees and a fourth woman who was a tech training student. Oliver also faces charges of sexual assault and sodomy against one of the trainees, as well as maltreatment of trainees, and obstruction of justice.

The health of San Antonio is gauged each year by the San Antonio Metro Health District's annual report. Bexar County and San Antonio have never been beacons of health, but the report details the specific issues that we are dealing with locally.
From unprecedented levels of syphilis infections to amputations from diabetes at a rate four times the national average, the city still has major health problems.
Maria Schneider has emerged over the past several decades as one of our most original composers and arrangers for jazz orchestra. She studied music theory and composition at the University of Minnesota, graduating in 1983, then earned a Masters of Music in 1985 from the Eastman School of Music, studying for one year as well at the University of Miami.
Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston is going green. New electric vehicles have taken to the streets of the post to save money and reduce pollution.
On-post errands at Fort Sam Houston used to be done in large, multi-passenger or cargo vans, sometimes even when only a smaller vehicle was needed.
About six months ago the post acquired 36 Low-Speed Electric Vehicles that Army North spokesman Eric Lobsinger said are working out well in more ways than one.
The Mexican Government has agreed to release additional water into the Rio Grande from its tributaries outside of a 79-year-old treaty on water rights as both counties face a difficult drought.
The 90-day agreement will allow additional water from the San Rodrigo River to flow into the Rio Grande and be used by the two countries.
The agreement comes a few weeks after several South Texas congressmen voiced grave concerns about water shortages.
This is the sixth gambling bill that Sen. John Carona, R-Dallas, has authored in the last decade and he is hoping for the passage of a constitutional amendment that allows Texas voters to decide on the issue of legalized gambling.

Texas State Parks suffered a tremendous drop in visitors in 2011 that was blamed on extreme heat, the drought and the devastating wildfires - especially in Bastrop State Park.
The Stonewall Democrats of San Antonio are the only Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender organization of their kind in Bexar County to screen and endorse candidates for public office.
For endorsement consideration, candidates must fill out a questionnaire on issues like non-discrimination and during its recent review of candidates for the San Antonio City Council, 22 of the 39 candidates completed their questionnaires.

Montrose got off to an early lead and maintained it through the first half, but in the final quarter, with the Indians leading 27-7, Rock Canyon came back strong.
But it was too little too late, and the Indians prevailed with a final score of 27-21.
After the game, senior Kordell Bradshaw, one of the team's five captains, said the team was eager for the win.
"We were ready for [the game]. It was one of the big games, and it helped us boost our season and our energy in practice," he said.
The "zero week" game against Rock Canyon gave the Indians little practice time, and they had to play the non-league game early, since it didn't fit in their regular schedule.
The team wanted to focus on minimizing their mistakes against this big 4A team, Casebier said.
"There is nothing like a game atmosphere in terms of conditions," he said. "It gives us an advantage, because most people have not played yet."
Overall, the team – especially the defense – played a physical game, Casebier said; the special teams were solid, he said, adding that he also liked how the team ran the ball and "took care of business."
The game gave the team a place to work from, Casebier said. The team needs to practice tackling and other technical moves, and although he said he's happy the boys were successful after all their hard work, the team has a long way to go.
The Indians didn't make the playoffs last year, and broke a four-year tradition by not capturing the Southwestern League title, but the coach had little to say about the difficult season besides emphasizing the need for improvement.
"It was not a great year. We need to play better, and we need to coach better," he said. "As the head coach, that starts with me."
But the team has put in extra effort to overcome last year's dismal showing, including lifting weights last winter and going to summer football camps.
"It has been a long road, and hopefully we will see the rewards," Casebier said.
The team has close to 90 athletes in the program this season, he said, and a 50-man varsity squad, but the numbers are still down from last season.
"We have got to deal with it, and we have enough good guys to get the job done," he said.
Although the season is still young, the team is showing signs of a good year, Casebier said, with good chemistry, a willingness to work hard, good linebackers and a strong offensive line.
Team captains are seniors Bradshaw, Del Oliver and Cole Panter, as well as juniors Drew Casebier and Blake Alexander.
"The coaches talk about leading by example, so I work as hard as I can in practice, and hope everyone follows what I do," Bradshaw said.
The team has nine other seniors this season, giving it good depth, but Coach Casebier said he expects all the starters to lead.
The Indians will be on the road for the next two weeks, facing Piedra Vista on Friday, Sept. 2, and Glenwood Springs on Friday, Sept. 9, and then returning for the homecoming game on Tuesday, Sept. 16, against Steamboat Springs.
Casebier said he expects the Indians to have a better season this year, and that, in the many team huddles the Indians have after practice, he and the other coaches preach to the players to be accountable to themselves and to each other.
"If we do that, the wins will take care of themselves," he said.

City Council Discusses Gap in School-Construction Funding for Some Charter Schools
Published: November 7, 2012
The prospect of Transform Baltimore, a Baltimore City push for massive school-construction funding modeled on the Maryland Stadium Authority ("Schoolhouse Plot," Mobtown Beat, Oct. 29), has suddenly highlighted a potential gap in the plan: funding capital improvements to privately owned facilities leased by public charter schools.
The City Council's Committee on Education and Youth's packed-house informational hearing on Nov. 1 about Baltimore's 33 charter schools—13 or 14 of which lease private space, according to hearing testimony, and currently cannot tap into schools-system funding for facilities improvements—provided a forum for officials and citizens to discuss the problem.
The hearing was scheduled quickly, thanks to a fast-tracked resolution by City Councilman Bill Henry (D-4th District), who said Transform Baltimore "doesn't take into account charter schools that aren't in city-owned buildings." After having conversations over the past few weeks with charter school parents and operators concerned about this, Henry said, "it was clear that we should probably all be in one room having these conversations at the same time."
Carol Beck, director of the nonprofit Supporting Public Schools of Choice, said 12 percent of the city's public schools students now attend charter schools, which are operated independently of the appointed school board, and while 11 of the 14 City Council districts have charter schools located in them, all districts have charter school students as residents. The charter schools, Beck said, "are funded by a state formula," but the lack of public funding for charter schools' facilities that are leased from private owners poses a question: "How do you provide the best facility possible?"
Henry told the gathering that, after some hive-minding as a result of the hearing, "we can all together go to our delegates and senators and ask" how to address the funding gap with state legislation during the upcoming Maryland General Assembly session, which begins in January.

Wahpeton football is in full swingWahpeton, ND (WDAY TV) - Last season Wahpeton's offense was stuck in neutral, only scoring over 40 points once.
By: Jody Norstedt, WDAY
Wahpeton, ND (WDAY TV) - Last season Wahpeton's offense was stuck in neutral, only scoring over 40 points once.
This year, they're averaging an absurd 43 and a half points per game.
The most in class 2-A.
And Quarterback Jack Christensen is the one holding the keys to the offense,
Jack Christensen wears purple on Friday's, but he likes to compare his game to a guy that wears green and gold on Sundays.
Jack Christensen- Wahpeton Sr. Quarterback: "If I had to say one it would be Aaron Rodgers, Packers all the way."
Christensen might just be the Aaron Rodgers of North Dakota high school football, his numbers are outrageous, and he's passed for 12 touchdowns and rushed for 10 more, while leading his team to a perfect 5-0 record.
Christensen: "Yeah, it's a lot of fun when we can run the ball and throw the ball, do whatever we want. If we can put up points like we have. We'll be good all year."
Hunter McCall- Wahpeton Sr. Center: "Most of our offense is based on Jack making decisions and most of the time, he makes the right decision and helps us score points and everybody like scoring points and winning games."
A year ago things were a lot tougher for Christensen, as a junior he entered the season as the Huskies starting quarterback.
But, he suffered a foot injury in the team's season opener and lost the starting job.
Christensen: "Foot got turned in the bottom of the pile and I was really mad about it. But, I couldn't let it affect everyone else on the team. So I just had to keep my mouth shut and keep working hard. Hopefully, I'd get another chance."
Now, in his senior season, he's making up for lost time.
In a game against Lisbon earlier this year, he set a new Wahpeton record with 5 passing touchdowns in one game.
Brian Dokken- Wahpeton Head Coach: "When I first got here. We'd hardly throw the ball 5 times in game and the great thing was that Jack kept wanting to throw the ball. That was good."
Christensen: "All the work we put in is really starting to show on the field, I think because we've been winning."
Something that has Huskies fans already thinking about a deep postseason run.
On Friday, the 4th ranked Huskies travel to 3rd ranked Shanley, we'll have that big showdown for you live on WDAY 6-3.

The Pennsylvania Board of Pardons voted 4-0 to reject a request from Hubert L. Michael Jr. for a clemency recommendation to the governor. Unless a court stays the execution or Gov. Tom Corbett grants clemency and reduces the sentence to life in prison, state officials plan to execute Michael for the death of Trista Elizabeth Eng.
Michael, 56, who has admitted killing the girl, is scheduled to receive a lethal injection Thursday night at Rockview State Prison in Bellefonte. If put to death, he would become the first inmate in 13 years to be executed in Pennsylvania and the fourth since the U.S. Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty in 1972.
Suzanne Eng, Trista's mother, set the tone Wednesday for relatives and friends who emotionally appealed to the pardons board to keep Michael's execution on track.
"He kidnapped her, he raped her and then he executed her," the mother said. "As she begged him not to kill her, he shot her three times" and left her body on state game lands in York County.
A clinical psychologist and a clinical social worker who testified on Michael's behalf said he has symptoms of Asperger's disorder that impair his ability to make sound decisions and get along with others. They said that may help explain why he asked for the death penalty and has repeatedly changed his mind about pursuing appeals.
But York County District Attorney Tom Kearney said Michael has a long record of violent crime and does not deserve mercy, calling him "the worst of the worst."
"I despise the man," said Morgan Eng, the victim's younger brother. "I think about him every day, wondering if he's asking for forgiveness."
Michael was not charged with rape in the Eng case because of a lack of physical evidence, although prosecutors suspected it.
Ron Travis, one of Michael's lawyers at the pardons board hearing, declined to say whether they would seek reconsideration of the board decision.
Michael's lawyers appealed U.S. District Court rulings rejecting a pair of requests to stay the execution to the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia.
In a related development, a federal judge ruled that the state Corrections Department cannot use curtains or any other method to prevent witnesses from seeing and hearing all of what transpires in Michael's execution if it goes forward Thursday.
U.S. District Judge Yvette Kane's ruling in favor of two newspapers that challenged the state's execution protocol included a preliminary injunction that applies only to the scheduled execution and requires that the witnesses be allowed "full visual and auditory observation" of what goes on.
Corrections Department officials are weighing whether to appeal Kane's ruling, spokeswoman Susan McNaughton said.
State prison rules allow six members of the media to witness executions, along with prison officials, six citizens, four victims' representatives and the inmate's spiritual adviser.
The Philadelphia Inquirer and The Patriot-News of Harrisburg argue that they have a First Amendment right to view executions as a surrogate for the public and that the ability to witness the entire execution is essential to thorough reporting on the process.
Previously, officials have used curtains to block witnesses' view of the death chamber until after an intravenous line is inserted, again if it is necessary to physically check the inmate's consciousness after the first of three drugs is administered and finally when the coroner examines the inmate after the injections are completed.

Poured as part of the "We Want the Funk" flight at Trappist Provisions from a 22oz bottle into a 6oz wine glass. No freshness or bottling date. Consumed "05/08/13." Review is from my notes.
If this is supposed to be a "femme fatale," I'm torn, as the color is intriguing yet undeniably strange. Ruby-plum, almost to the point of being lavender or purple colored, and absolutely as hazy and cloudy as a beer could be. Hardly any head to speak of. Indeed, I cannot find any clarity in the bottle, and it swirls as a sludgy, cloudy, mucky liquid. Every sip left behind some cloudy residue sticking to the glass. I might have gotten an extra yeasty pour, but I don't really know what to think of this here.
The aroma is actually a far better start to this, containing a variety of dark fruits combined with a slight tart sourness and ridged musty phenols. Plums, raisins, brandy, earthiness, skunky, sour, aging yeast, and beyond all, a sour flavor caused by the Brett that is subtle yet adds character to all of these flavors. This is really *all* about the yeast here, as well as the sour backdrop that accentuates the fruity notes. My only complaint is how murky and muddled the phenols smell overall here, and the muted hop profile, as well as slightly distracting Brett strain, make it rather a chore to seek them. It's unique enough to hold interest, but some clarity and balance is needed.
The flavor is quite similar, although less soured than I expected it would be. Here, it tastes like an average Belgian-style dark ale, only notable for its slight extra acidic astringency at the back of the tongue. There's an initial vinous, semi-strong aroma of plums and figs, only to quickly fade away and be replaced with an abnormally bitter and muddled mess of flavors. Burnt currants, black tea, black soured cherries, oak, maybe some tobacco, or maybe some leather, but the finish that is slightly acidic yet sludgy from the yeast makes this a chore to drink. The acidity AND smokiness that slowly reveals itself at the back gets far stranger, in fact. This wasn't as bizarre as the Fantôme Printemps that I had on the flight, but it was almost equally grating.
Wasn't a big fan of this one. The initial soured plum flavor is quite pleasant, but it quickly deteriorates with the smokiness and soured flavor. There needs to be more balance here, even for style at hand, as well as rustic bright notes from the Brett rather than extra acidity. I have enjoyed other beers before by Evil Twin, but this one didn't hold enough interest for me in the long run.

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3
Poured into an Urthel glass on 5/15/13
Dark, stained brown with a nod toward black. The head rises slowly to one finger before dropping to a slanted shelf of foam. A few drippings of sandy brown lace. The lace gets thicker after a few sips.
Pine needle and hop greenery are a prominent realization in the aroma followed up with thick dark roast and some chocolate. The brett seems pretty marginal here, adding something of a dampness to the pine needles. The fragrance thus seems akin to a forest. It smells pretty good.
Oh, but the brett tastes oh so strong. I can't tell if the hops are incredibly one dimensional and brittle or if the brett is merely telescoping in on the mildly sticky and heavily bitter hops. After several sips I am inclined toward the latter, but I cannot be sure with Evil Twin. The roast is moderately dry and there are touches of dark chocolate sweetness. The roast reveals burnt and charred notes as the beer warms. The finish is tart; somewhat puckering when factoring in the piney bitterness. Seems like there are some hints of lemon in here too.
The feel is pretty well where I like it. An underlying medium-full, silky body distressed with hop resin and gradually soothed carbonation. It is a feel like this that makes manageable the musty aspects of the brett.
I really like brett in lighter, crisper golden ale sorts of things but I'm not sure what is the point of putting brett into an alright black IPA. I took a chance on this since it seemed kind of interesting and gave it the benefit of the doubt because it was brewed and bottled at Westbrook. Femme Fatale Noir has her charms but not nearly as much as Dead Letter Office covers and black & white cinema.

look: 4 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 3 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
Poured from a bomber into a shaker pint, the beer is a very dark brown-to-black coloring with chestnut highlights around the edges and a frothy, foamy, dense head that is light tan and starts around an inch, but quickly settles into a thin, filmy coating. Aromas of roasted grains, resiny and bitter hops, and a touch of smoke. There are some coffee notes, and the tangy hops have highlights of citrus on the nose, as well. Very aromatic, and it smells tasty. Flavors are a bit muddled. Initially, the forward tongue is wrestled over by a chocolate-coffee blend and some citrus and bitter hops. That imbalance flows all over the rest of the palate, with a bitter, dry roasted characteristic ultimately winning over by the end of each sip. Some of the chocolate-coffee flavors build as you drink, which in turn mutes just about every influence from the hops, including the hints of resiny bitterness and citrus tart/sweet that peek around the corner every once in a while. The aftertaste becomes a little more balanced, with a heavy roasted coffee bitterness that is undercut by grapefruit and floral hops. Smooth, clean finish, with the coffee flavors lingering around a bit. I liked where this beer was heading initially, but the flavor profiles just didn't mesh for me.

She's dark, mysterious, alluring. She's bitter, tough, raw, and with the strength to kick your ass. She'll make you like the beatings and ask for more; she's Femme Fatale.
She opens with a dark "bark" brown color and a mid-sized blanket of foam. Holding firm, her head lasts the session and laces brokenly as her froth trails behind. Hazy and ominous, she's rich with yeasty sediment- just the way I like 'em!
Sharp aromas of burnt toast, pine needles, and resinous citrus oils pierce through the nose in nearly intimidating intensity. Wood, slight char, walnuts and burnt sugars wrap around the hops and offer a delicate balance.
Flavors fare similarly as the short-lived sweetness evades the taste early and leaves the middle palate to recon with the blend of toast, then grapefruit, and then burnt barley husks. She culminates with an embattled taste of resinous pine, pithy citrus oils, and a bitter walnut-type bitterness to close.
Dry throughout, body is tight and lean as any would-be sugars fall to her wayside as she favors an arid, almost chalky finish with sharply astringent "stemmy" hops, grass, and husk.
She's a raw and rustic American Black Ale that's dry like IPA but balances with charred malt character to enhance her palatability without distracting from her hop onslaught.

Served from bottle into a Westbrook snifter (it was brewed there at least). Poured a massively dark brown (almost black) with a one finger light tan head that subsided to a minimal amount slowly. Maintained phenomenal lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt, roasted malt, dark chocolate, funk, and earth. The flavor was of sweet malt, dark chocolate, roasted malt, cream, earth, earth hop, and subtle dark fruit. It had a light feel on the palate with high carbonation. Overall this was fairly good brew. In all honesty, I'm not a huge fan of this style but I'm always open to revisiting things. This one did have some nice touches going on, but the flavor was definitely way more on the roasty side than I usually enjoy. However this was still a fairly nicely put together brew. Definitely worth your time if you are a fan of the style.

@ Bottle Revolution
I was warned it was a little odd looking and she was right...murky brown, like iced coffee with cream. It's not necessarily unattractive though, the head is thick and creamy, covering the surface for the duration. Resinous, oily pine hop aromas with some char and earth thrown into the mix. Flavors of bitter pine, subtle roast, hefty citrus rind, light coffee, and some herbal hops. No funkiness so speak of, but there is an interesting peppery heat in the finish. Aggressively bitter hops linger on the tongue well after the last sip. Medium bodied with a dry finish. Intriguing and pretty well done all around.

Poured into a Dogfish Head pint glass. Pours a very dark brown, appearing black in the glass, with a half finger light brown head with good retention and lacing. Light aroma of citrus hops, bready malt, faintly earthy. Flavor starts with day old coffee, toasted, slightly smoky malt, dry and slightly astringent. Light fruit fruit flavor (apple and pear) develop in the background, then finishes dry, roasty, with hop bitterness and the brett yeast becomes more noticeable. Finish is a bit astringent and dry, which may be a plus for brett fans. Medium bodied. An interesting, rather idiosyncratic ABA; I like the light touch of brett (or at least it is well covered by the nice toasty malt), but I'm not sure it works well with this very dry toasty body. I'm a fan of very light, deft touches of brett, and it is not assertive in this beer. Intriguing, but not a beer I will want to return to.

A - Dark dark brown, near black with a really nice near 2 finger brown head, decent retention, ok lacing. Head kind of reforms as you drink a bit.
S - Piney earthy hops and heavily roasted malts, fun and maybe some sweeter chocolates as well.
T - Some brett funkyness and pined hops hit at once. Brett is not overpowering but very much present, lots of roasty malts and earthy hops. Malty sweetness occasionally makes an appearance through the roastyness.
M - Lightish body for what it is, well carbonated, quite drinkable.
O - Honestly, I think this was one of the better (although unconventional) black ipas had. Definitely not for everyone but glad I tried it.

look: 3.75 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Beer is black with a smallish tan head. Head fades fairly quickly. No lace.
Nose contains a mix of chocolate and citrus. The Brett is there as well, imparting a bit of a funky/yeasty scent, but it is not prominent. To be honest, if I had not been looking for it, I might not have noticed it. However, it is not hard to notice when looking.
The Brett is more prominent in the taste, resulting in a flavour that is quite dry and a bit a bit medicinal. The chocolate and citrus are also present, bringing in the more expected black IPA flavours. The two are quite balanced - neither is more prominent than the other. That being said, it is not a balance that works that well. I find the flavours to clash somewhat.
Medium bodied, moderately carbonated. Quite dry.
Overall, pretty good, but not great. The Brett imparts a very noticeable dryness, but not a lot of the flavours that I tend to associate with Brett. I don't know enough about Brett or the brewing process to say why this is, but the all-Brett beers that I have had seem to often turn out this way - dry but not the sour cherry-like flavour that I often get in beers where Brett only plays part of the role.

Pours pitch black with a small off white head. Aroma of lots of strong pine and some dry wood smell that comes off like cedar. Flavor is lots of pine with some interesting underlying black ale sweetness. Dry finish with lingering pine, and I think a lot of the dryness might come from the brett here. Pretty strong carbonation increases the dryness. Gains an extra creaminess as it warms. Pretty interesting and unique black IPA. Not my favorite of the style, but very nice.

pours a turbid deep dark brown with no head. the nose is earthy, slightly spicy cascade-like hops and a bit of carob. the taste presents potent chocolatey malty base with some kickin earthy hops in the back end. medium bodied mouhfeel that presents a standard black IPA although it's a bit more of a tart finish than I expected. definitely different, probably not worth a second glass.

Femme Fatale Noir has an outstanding appearance, with its near-opaque blackness, tan, frothy head, and ample lacing. Perfect for the style. The aroma is quite alluring, with fresh citrus and kiwi fruit esters, and the herbal brett being the most noticeable characteristics. The taste is quite smooth, beginning with a big punch of piny hop bitterness intermingled with earthy brett, then fading out while the roasted malt comes in. It's got a very light body, perhaps a bit too light, but there's a nice, creamy mouth feel to it that picks up the slack. . The finish is very dry, and the bitterness sneaks back in. Overall an interesting beer from the great Evil Twin of Denmark. Recommended.

Pours a slightly hazy dark brown with one finger thick brown foam. Big spray of lace sticks down the glass. Smell: light roast and smoke, chocolate, spicy, citrus peel. Taste: peppery, citric, slightly garlicky... earthy with cocoa, finishing with caramel and toast and a bit acidic... lemon, pine. Creamy, fluffy feel. Really enjoyable.

Poured from 22oz bottle into crooked stave tulip. Purchased at Total Wine Norwalk for $8.50.
Poura a nice deep black with tan rim and lacing. Looks inviting and nice. Great hop aromas just fill the air when opened; complemented by the slight roasty malt and slight funk/earthiness. Really nice.
Great mild hop flavor with nice bitter coffee malt backbone. There is a slight funk to it, but its very mild...almost dont really notice the brett - and probably wouldnt even comment on it if I didnt already know. Like the bottle says, its difficult to have such a hoppy beer fermented with brett as they dont really work well together. Im thinking this was a not so hoppy back ale that was insanely dry hopped right before bottling when the brett was done...but however it was done, its damn tasty. well worth it...and kudos on a job well done on this brew!!

22oz bottle split and poured into a tulip.
A: Pours a very dark opaque brown with a light tannish cream head. A touch of lacing on the glass. Easily can swirl the glass to create more head. A coffee like brownish hue with a mocha top.
S: Floral hops are the first thing with a chocolaty backbone. Roasted malts as well a bit of nuttiness. Bit of a saison presence. Light only gets through about 1/8 inch.
T: This is one complex beer, lots of flavor in it. Starts off a hoppy yet roasty profile. Fresh floral and citrus hops that linger perfectly with the Brett. Bit of nuttiness on the backend. Certainly a funkiness to it from the Brett. Taste more boozy than it is. The farmhousey flavor comes out more when it lingers in the backend with the hops.
M: Medium body with low carbonation. Quite crisp finish. Leaves you with a dry mouthfeel. Not overly sticky for the hops.
Overall a very complex and interesting beer that took a lot of thought to review. A new approach on one of my favorite styles. Would love to get another to set down for a year to let the yeast develop.

Appearance: Dark as night, with great head retention and a multiple strands of lace
Smell: Just sniffing it, the aroma overwhelms with floral citrus and black bread elements; hard to pick up the Brett
Taste: The citrusy hops and the Brett intermingle, with the black bready malt laying down a base underneath; in the middle, the Brett really starts to dominate, adding a chalky/lemony tone though, in the finish, the malt re-emerges to balance the bitter and tart flavors with some underlying sweetness
Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation
Overall: A Brett ABA, well that's another first for me - glad to have tried it

Pours black. Very little light getting through, opaque. It actually looks pretty murky when thinned out a bit. Based on the flavor, I'm wondering if a little Sinamar or something snuck into this beer. Very nice beige head. It's a thick blanked of fine bubbles. Aroma is a superb mix of big tropical and bright citrus hop flavors with some clean brett funk. I guess "clean" is sort of an odd adjective for funk, but all brett beers often seem clean to me. It's more bacteria and poor fermentation that seem messy. Anyway, there's a touch of roast in the background, but the hops are really the star. Pineapple, mango, kiwi, tangerine, raspberry, grapes. Wonderful. The taste is also quite nice. There's more roast/chocolate flavor, but it's still mostly bright, flavorful hops with a bretty background. Fairly dry. Lots of hop flavor. Some roast and hop bitterness in the finish. Finish is a touch astringent but otherwise quite good. Medium, prickly carbonation. Hoppiness lingers for quite awhile. I'm not a big fan of ABAs and strongly prefer ones with less roast character. This is right up my alley, but I'm not sure if that will be a universal opinion. On a sidenote, there is a ton of sediment at the bottom of the bottle.

Not sure why I didn't give this a 5 across the board. I've been making a point to try both Black IPAs and anything with Brett for a few years now, but I haven't seen a pairing of the two. An issue I have with some Brett offerings is a lack of balance as many tend to be overpowered by the Brett funk. Although this beer is unmistakably Brett it is also unmistakably a very hoppy, roasty black beer. This beer is firing on all cylinders and is everything one should expect from a Brett black IPA.
A: as advertised, black. Careful pour yields a finger foam, nice lacing. A surprisingly thick sediment coated the bottom of the bomber after the last pour. The last few drops were a dark, thick motor oil, but I always enjoy the taste and mouthfeel addition of sediment to the final pour when present.
S: hops, roast, brett. I honestly didn't appreciate the smell enough and just wanted to dive in.
T/M have to be considered together here IMO. Very silky, bitter, funk, bbq roast. I'm feeling redundant but everything is as advertised for a black Brett IPA with nothing more, but everything meeting hopes and expectations perfectly. The aftertaste is teasing me. Time to go to bed, and I regret having to brush my teeth and drink water.
O: see above. I'm very impressed and wish I had bought more. Purchased at a wonderful diamond in the rough Community Tap in Greenville, SC. I bought one bomber amongst other purchases and am kicking myself for using restraint in a beer store for once. I may call a friend to shelve away a few more to ensure I have something to look forward to for next visit.

The youth hostel is almost a 3 star hotel. Wonderful room with plenty of space and nicely furnished, Very clean. The swimming pool at the top floor is very nice. Very important thing: you have a free transport to many places in town or the Chatuchak Market. We had a taxi for the 4 of us. The staff is not the best you could expect. They speak very little English.

Was a lovely clean room with a comfortable bed. The staff were very helpful and ordered us a taxi for 4am in the morning. Would have been nice to know that the pool was being mended though as this was one of the reasons why we chose this hostel over another one that was closer to the airport.

Acropolis Museum, Athens
After decades of planning and years of construction, the Acropolis Museum in Athens opened in an ultra-modern new building on June 20, 2009. Located at the foot of the Acropolis, the new museum displays statues, reliefs and artifacts from the Parthenon and other sites on the Acropolis.
Immediately after the War of Independence (1821-29) drove the Turks from Athens, plans were discussed for an Acropolis Museum. Under Ottoman rule, many foreign visitors had taken souvenirs from the Acropolis back to their own countries (the most infamous being the Elgin Marbles) and the protection of the remaining artifacts became a significant part of establishing independent Greek identity.
The first Acropolis Museum was built in 1865 southeast of the Parthenon. After archaeological excavations of the Acropolis began in 1886, this small museum proved inadequate to hold all the finds. A second museum was built in 1888, which was in turn demolished in 1946-47 in favor of expanding the original.
By the 1970s, the old museum was proving too small for the amount of artworks, insufficient for the numbers of visitors it received and inadequate for the beauty and importance of the artifacts displayed there. Discussion for a new museum began and architectural competitions were held in 1976 and 1979, but the project stalled.
In 1989, in large part in the hopes of getting the British Museum to return the Parthenon friezes to Athens, Minister of Culture Melina Mercouri initiated a new competition. But construction plans had to be canceled after the discovery of an ancient residential area on the building site.
Finally, in 2000, a fourth architectural competition was held, with the winning design going to architect Bernard Tschumi. The old museum closed in 2007 for the final phase of construction and the new Acropolis Museum opened to the public in June 2009.
The completion of the new Acropolis Museum has brought an ongoing debate to the forefront: should the British Museum return the Elgin Marbles to Athens? Taken by Lord Elgin when he was ambassador to the ruling Ottoman Empire in the early 1800s, these Parthenon reliefs have been a prize exhibit in London's British Museum since 1818.
Among the reasons given by the museum for not returning the Parthenon friezes to Athens is that there would not be a suitable place to display them there. That argument, at least, has now been rendered obsolete. On the official website of the Acropolis Museum, the Greek Minister of Culture writes that not having those fragments in Athens is like "missing a piece of our soul" and that he expects them to be reunited in Greece soon.
What to See
The new Acropolis Museum is housed in a state-of-the-art building designed by Swiss-born architect Bernard Tschumi. With an area of 226,000 square feet - 10 times larger than the old museum - the new building feels open and full of light. Its design has received mixed reviews from locals, but there is no doubt it is a striking and highly functional work of architecture.
The Acropolis Museum houses all of the portable objects removed from the Acropolis since 1834, with the exception of a few bronzes displayed in the National Archeological Museum and inscriptions in the Epigraphical Museum. The museum's artifacts are primarily religious in nature, including a fascinating collection of ancient statues used in religious ceremonies, and they provide a fascinating visual history of Greek religion.
The permanent collection includes the following exhibits:
In addition to the Parthenon frieze, notable highlights of the collection include several statues and offerings from the Archaic Temple of Athena and the original Caryatids salvaged from the Erechtheion Temple (replicas are displayed on the original site).

.380 ACP Sig P238. Kimber Solo, Kahr PM9 and Ruger LC9 (compact 9mms) all had too much felt recoil for me to comfortably shoot and practice with. My favorite gun, my XD40subcompact in .40 SW, is just a tad too large to carry, based on dress code requirements.
I know the .380 is not ideal, but it's better than my OC spray if things turn deadly. Loaded with the Buffalo-Barnes 80gr TAC-XP, I feel confident I could stop someone.

My carry gun is a 4506 S&W. Big, heavy, accurate. Will digest ANY .45acp ammo, but I prefer 230g JHP's. For deep concealment and/or backup, I have a Taurus 85, loaded with 125g XTP's. Surprised .38spl isn't on the list.
38 Special
I always have my Ruger LCP .380 in my front pants pocket, in a Desantis "Nemesis" pocket holster. In colder weather I carry my kimber Stainless Ultra carry ll 45 auto. It's the only cadillac I own. At Home I always have both within reach and loaded......plus 2 dogs, one has a nasty attitude !!
I carry a 642 with BB 158 gr LSWCHP
I carry a Kimber Eclipse Ultra II 45ACP and at times a Kimber Altra Aegis 9mm.
