Names the 50 best beer, wine and spirits products for 2014; includes 'Best of Category' awards
NEW YORK, Feb. 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Drink Me Magazine, the beer, wine and spirits lifestyle publication, today announced its top 150 best products for 2014. The Drink Me editorial team tasted through hundreds of different examples in each category to narrow down its 50 best beers, wines, and spirits. The judging and selections were led by Brian Freedman, Drink Me Magazine's new Editor-in-Chief.
The inaugural Drink Me 2014 Elite 150 includes a wide range of beverages from producers both large and small, a breadth of choice that the selection process itself is designed to accommodate. From ambitious bottlings crafted by the largest manufacturers to more niche products pushed to market by smaller independent producers, the Drink Me 2014 Elite 150 represents the best of what the team of editors has sampled in the past year, regardless of how familiar or potentially surprising they may be to consumers and industry alike.
"By leveling the playing field, and considering everything we have tasted on its own merits and against likepriced products, we hope to introduce readers to beers, wines and spirits that they may not have considered or known about before," Freedman explained. "On this year's list, for example, our favorites ran the gamut from a Cognac costing more than $20,000 to a Blaufränkisch that offers fantastic bang for the proverbial buck at under $20. We believe that, these days, lovers of great beers, wines and spirits appreciate quality at all price levels."

Vans Era 2 Tone Plimsolls – Black/Camouflage
Initially released in 1976, the Vans Era was one of the original shoes that was created for skateboarding because of their ankle padding and flexible sole. In the conventional Vans shoe silhouette, the Era 2 tone is an alternative to the very-popular Authentic trainer.

New monthly Out-of-Pocket Cost for FULL TIME Employees
UT offers UT SELECT, a self-funded medical PPO plan, administered by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas, a Division of Health Care Service Corporation, a Mutual Legal Reserve Company, an Independent Licensee of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association.
When you enroll in UT SELECT, you can receive care from any licensed doctor you choose; no referrals are required. If you use a network doctor, you will receive the highest level of benefits, pay less out-of-pocket, and will usually not have to file any claims. If you use an out-of-network doctor, you will still be covered, but your out-of-pocket costs for health care services will be substantially higher.
NETWORK - Network benefits are available to UT SELECT participants living in Texas, New Mexico and Washington, D.C. who receive services from providers who have a network contract agreement with BCBSTX. Network benefits may also be available when services are rendered by providers outside of Texas if that provider has a network contract agreement with the Blue Cross and Blue Shield plan in the state where services were rendered. Network providers have agreed to charge only up to the BCBSTX allowed amount. You are responsible for applicable deductibles, copays and/or coinsurance.
UTSW Network Pilot Program- As an additional network option, OEB would like to introduce a new collaborative pilot program between The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center and UT System OEB called the UTSW Network. If any In-Area UT SELECT member receives medical care from a UTSW physician or at a UTSW facility, the out-of-pocket cost will be greatly reduced or eliminated. Benefits include $10 primary care and $10 specialist copayment, no out-of-pocket cost for inpatient or outpatient care, no deductible, and no coinsurance.
Physician fees for services performed at affiliated hospitals are included in this benefit. However, the benefit does not include facility charges for other hospitals (e.g. Children's Medical Center, VA North Texas Health Care System, Parkland Health & Hospital System, Baylor, and Texas Health Resources) even when a UTSW physician refers you to a non-UTSW facility. For Dallas and surrounding counties, UTSW has a clinically affiliated physician program (UTSCAP) in which UTSW selectively partners with quality internal medicine and family practice community physicians who are included in the UTSW Network. More information is available at http://www.bcbstx.com/ut/important.html or by contacting BCBSTX Customer Service.
OUT-OF-NETWORK – Out-of-network benefits are available to UT SELECT participants living in Texas, New Mexico and Washington, D.C. who receive services from providers who do not have a network contract agreement with BCBSTX. When receiving services from out-of-network providers, you will be responsible for applicable deductibles, copays and/or coinsurance, as well as any amounts exceeding the BCBSTX allowed amount.
OUT-OF-AREA - Out–of-Area benefits apply only to those UT SELECT participants whose residence of record is outside of Texas, New Mexico and Washington, D.C.
Preventive care services are offered at no out-of-pocket cost. Eligible services are outlined in the federal regulations based on U.S. Preventive Service Task Force Recommendations.
To view a list of preventive care benefits offered through the UT SELECT Medical plan as well as information on preventive care benefits as required by the Affordable Care Act (healthcare reform), go to the Living Well: Make it a Priority website at www.livingwell.utsystem.edu/myhealth.htm#preventive.
Please be aware that you may incur some cost if the preventive service is not the primary purpose of the visit or if your doctor bills for services that are not preventive.
In most cases, an active employee or dependent of an active employee enrolled in UT SELECT should enroll in Medicare Part A and decline Parts B and D once eligible, typically at age 65. Once you retire, you and your Medicare-eligible dependent(s) should then enroll in Part B without penalty and continue to waive Part D. In most instances, if you are eligible for Medicare and are working at UT in a benefits-eligible position for at least 20 hours per week, your UT medical plan will be primary for you and your covered dependent, regardless of age, and Medicare will be secondary. Medicare may be primary for some Medicare-eligible active employees with certain medical conditions such as end stage renal disease (ESRD). Consult with your local Social Security Administration office to learn what illnesses qualify for Medicare coverage prior to turning age 65.
When you or your covered dependent(s) become eligible for Medicare, you and your Medicare-eligible dependents should enroll in Part A (typically inpatient coverage) and Part B coverage (typically office visits and doctor fees). The University of Texas System urges all retired employees and dependents to enroll in Medicare Parts A and B when they become eligible at age 65, or earlier if they are eligible due to a disability such as end stage renal disease. Retired employees, or soon-to-be retired employees, or their dependents who are eligible for Medicare must have Medicare Parts A and B to receive the maximum benefits available from the UT SELECT plan. It is your responsibility to inform your institution Benefits Office if your covered dependents are Medicare-eligible.
In most instances, if you are eligible for Medicare and are working in a position for at least 20 hours per week, your UT medical plan will be primary, and Medicare will be secondary. Medicare may be primary for some Medicare-eligible active employees with certain medical conditions such as End Stage Renal Disease. Consult with your local Social Security Administration office to learn what illnesses qualify for Medicare coverage prior to turning age 65.
If you are retired and also eligible for Medicare, Medicare becomes your primary payer and pays your medical claims first; UT SELECT pays second. If you choose a doctor who accepts Medicare assignment, you will not be responsible for any difference between the billed charge and the Medicare allowed amount.
If you decline Part B, you will have to pay a higher premium if you ever re-apply for Medicare coverage. As a retired employee, if you or your Medicare-eligible dependent have declined Medicare Part B and fail to re-apply, you will be required to pay the portion that Medicare Part B would have paid as primary insurer for Part B-covered items for yourself and any Medicare-eligible dependents.
To ensure claims are correctly processed, you should contact Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas and report your or your dependent's Medicare Health Insurance Claim (HIC) number and the effective dates of Medicare Parts A and B immediately upon enrollment.

2 Allowed charges are the lesser of the Medicare Limiting Charge or the Blue Cross and Blue Shield allowed amount. If the Blue Cross and Blue Shield allowed amount is less, the member may be billed the difference.
Special rules are mandated by federal law when coordinating benefits between UT SELECT, Medicare and another coverage. Generally, the law states that Medicare is primary to retiree plans.
Medicare is secondary when
The following examples show the proper coordination of benefits for some common insurance situations:
EXAMPLE A John is 68, continues to have a full-time position at UT, and is covered as a dependent under his wife's retiree plan with ABC Company. John's claims will be paid in this order:
John and his wife may wish to consider whether the reimbursements received as a dependent on his wife's plan justify their additional premium costs. In many instances, Medicare's secondary payment will cover the out-of-pocket costs remaining after the primary insurer pays.
EXAMPLE B Linda is 67, has retired from UT and returned to work in a position working less than 20 hours per week. Linda's husband also covers her under his retiree plan with XYZ Company. Linda's claims will be paid in this order:
Although Linda has returned to work after retiring, her position is not benefits-eligible; therefore, her insurance benefits are obtained as a result of retirement, not employment.
EXAMPLE C Meredith is 72 and has retired from UT. During her phased retirement, she returns to teach for the Fall semester, from September 1 through January 15. She is covered by her husband's employer. During the semester that Meredith has returned to a benefits-eligible position at UT, her claims are paid in this order:
For the remainder of the year, when Meredith is not teaching, her claims are paid as follows:
It is important to inform your providers and health plan carriers of all the insurances in which you are enrolled. Understanding correct coordination of benefits will help to ensure timely and accurate claims payments. If you have questions regarding your specific insurance situation, please contact your institution Benefits Office, the UT System Office of Employee Benefits, or your health care administrator.
For more information on UT SELECT and Medicare, please see the Important Notices section of this handbook. You may also request a copy from your institution Benefits Office.
Your UT SELECT Medical ID card features the Blue Cross and Blue Shield symbols and the PPO in a suitcase logo telling providers that you are part of the BlueCard program. This means you and your covered dependents have access to Blue Cross and Blue Shield network providers throughout the United States and around the world. To receive the network (highest) level of benefits when you need to seek care, please call 1-800-810-BLUE (2583) printed on your Medical ID card.
If you or a covered dependent are being treated for certain chronic or ongoing medical conditions at the time you enroll in UT SELECT, and your doctor is not in the UT SELECT PPO network, ongoing care with your current doctor for up to three months may be requested.
Transitional benefits are subject to approval. To request transitional benefits, complete a "Transitional Benefits Form"available from your institution Benefits Office or online at www.bcbstx.com/ut.

Absolutley no risk of anything bad happening, whether it spins or not, just an annoyance.
I pulled the handle off again. It does not look like the tabs in the handle have broken off. I pulled the handle off the other shower that I replaced the cartidge and compared the tabs. The tabs are definitely different (different shape and positioned differently). I don't even remember if the handle stopped or not before I use the darn shower every day. Anyway, is there any risk as long as I don't go spinning the handle around and around?
Last edited by walds11; 12-12-2009 at 04:21 PM.
Absolutley no risk of anything bad happening, whether it spins or not, just an annoyance.
If your Moen still drips, you would have to take it apart again and clean the barrel of the valve and make sure there is no foreign matter anywhere in the new cartridge or barrel. I had to do this twice.
Also mine, which looks just like yours, has two plastic pieces that fit into the stainless sleeve, which limit the turn of the handle. Are you sure these are in right? or not forgotten?
Hope I could help. I am very familiar with these.
It does not drip anymore.
I am working on the shower faucet in my master bathroom now. Attached are two pics. I still can't remember if the handle stopped in either direction before I took it apart yesterday. Maybe I put it back together incorrectly?
And attached is a pic of the handle from my other bathroom shower (the one I replacement the cartridge eariler in the post). This handle works perfectly in my master bathroom shower. You can tell the differences between the handles. The first one has a larger diameter opening, a plastic ring inside and the tabs are in a different position.
part number for first one is 96997 and second one is 14114.
So now what? Buy a new handle?
The 2 plastic pieces that I am referring to are shown in the enclosed picture as "C" and the other is shown installed into the stainless sleeve already.
These limit the travel of the handle and you can set them to limit the water temperature.
Yours may be different, but there must have been something like this. Maybe the shaft of the replacement cartridge you purchased is a little longer. That could be the problem.
I have a different set-up. The plastic handle just slides onto the metal collar. There are no other parts involved that I am aware of.
The 2nd handle that you posted looks like a posi-temp handle. It works entirely different than the first handle. The positemp faucet rotates to turn it on.
I suspect that the 2nd handle was replaced at one point with a positemp handle. It may have been replaced by a previous owner who may not have known the difference between the 2 handles. Botoo is showing the basic positemp faucet in his pic
That makes sense. I was at Lowes today and they had the same handle that I posted in post #34. It was labeled posi-temp handle on the box. I have to pull the handle to turn the water on, not rotate it. It's the wrong handle as you suspected. No big deal, just a minor annoyance.
Hi, I'm new here, and am just a do-it-yourselfer, not a plumber.
Yesterday I replaced a Moen positemp shower catridge that had been dripping for a month or so, then suddenly started leaking in more of a light stream. The old cartridge, by the way, was VERY hard to remove--I had to use a small pry bar and wooden blocks to gradually leverage it out.
I put in the replacement cartridge and the dripping stopped, everything seemed to be working fine. But now today, less than 24 hours later, a slow but steady drip has started again. Any ideas on what the problem could be and how to fix it?
You can try pulling the cartridge out and flushing th lines, cleaning the cartridge. These moen cartridges are very sensitive to foreign debris, so its very likely that the new cartridge may have been damaged in the install process. It may warrent a new cartridge again.
Usually you can contact moen on their 1 800 number and they will send you a new cartridge with-in 3 working days free of charge
I bought my first catridge at Home Depot last week. Cost me about $19. I totally forgot that Moen offers a limited lifetime warranty on parts. I just called Moen tonight for a replacement cartridge for my other shower. They asked if I was the original owner and if I had proof of purchase. I do not have the proof of purchase, but they still sent me a replacement cartridge 1225 for free. Yes!!!
Thanks, Krow. I wasn't previously aware of the warranty by Moen. This morning I called them, and they said they'd send me a new cartridge for free (although they tried to talk me into paying to receive expedited shipping).
I also hadn't previously been aware of the importance of making sure to use a genuine Moen replacement part. The replacement cartridge I installed turns out to be some generic brand--Danco--that's made in China (could be part of the problem with why it still leaks!), and that my local hardware store sold me as a replacement for my Moen cartridge for the "bargain" price of $44. I think I'll pull it out, stick the old Moen cartridge back in--the amount of leaking between it and the new one isn't that great--and see if I can get a refund.
I noticed when I removed the old cartridge that the interior of the bronze fixture has some greenish mineral deposits or corrosion (I guess we have bad water here in Houston), which I wonder, after reading this column, might be causing the drip. I tried to remove them with a small wire brush before putting the replacement cartridge in, but wasn't able to get all traces out. When I open up the valve again, do you suggest that I try polishing the interior of the fixture with fine emery cloth to get it completely smooth?
Thanks again for the advice.
Just a little bit of white vinegar (red vinegar is for salads) Get as much cleaned as possible, but don't go crazy. It should be fine.
The chinese stuff doesn't handle very good, does it.

Among the selections, my favoured tint is #5 Dulux – Vivid White. Since whites have been known all over the world to appropriately combine with any other color, I find my preferred shade a statement. Perfect for accent walls and other applications, I think it is the best. I love how the green apples give added life to the kitchen. Thanks for sharing these selections.

Hi thanks for your awesome blog and great advice. We have horizontal timber panelling, over half way up the wall, throughout most of our living spaces. We'd like to paint it white but not sure which white! What would you suggest? Also would you paint the panels and the walls the same colour or have a slight contrast. Thanks

Hi Megan, I would paint the timber panels & dado rail Dulux Antique White USA Semi Gloss & the walls Antique White USA Low Sheen Acrylic. I just did something similar in my house using Natural White & it's a tad too stark I would warm it up a bit. Hope this helps. Regards

Hi there! This post has helped me to pick AWUSA for my walls, which I believe (from the samples I've done) to be perfect!! YAY! I have very mottled travertine tiles everywhere ranging from yellow to beige, caramel and dark brown tones in them. I am looking at trim colours that will compliment the AW as well as not clash with all the colours in the tiles. Do you have any recommendations on where to start? I wouldn't mind a browny-taupe but nothing too dark. Something that would work with gold as I have some shiny gold furniture accents around the place. Nothing with any hint of green in it.
Appreciate your advice!

Sorry Vanessa I don't think I can help you out - in order to pick colours I need to see all the samples, your furniture and the space - if I just picked a random colour without any visuals I'm likely not to give the right advice.

Hi, great blog. I wish I had read it afew days earlier! We are in the process of painting our new house, the painter painted half of the house(bedrooms) in dulux lexicon quarter and while it is exactly the colour I was imagining, after seeing it am now wondering if it is too stark as you suggested. I'm thinking of now doing the open plan living kitchen area in natural white. I thought I needed a cool white to go with the grey floor but as this area doesn't get as much light as the bedrooms so I'm worried that the lexicon could look to stark and maybe abit blue. Have u used the natural white in half strength just so im don't get too much warmth? Any help would be much appreciated.
- January 23, 2014 at 5:44 AM
- Melissah said...
Hi there, I use Natural White Half strength on the ceilings only. I would try Natural White full strength in a test patch to see what you think. If it is too warm try dropping it back to a 75% strength to sharpen it up a bit.
- January 23, 2014 at 9:00 AM
What trims would you do with natural white?
- January 23, 2014 at 9:09 PM
Great blog, we have just chosen natural white for our walls, hoping to have white plantation blinds so wondering what colour to paint trims and doors, think maybe quarter strength natural white or completely different and make it lexicon quarter. Thanks in advance!

- Melissah from Coastal Style said...
Hi there,
In answer to the last couple of queries reqarding trim - this is the formula I used on my house & I'm very happy with the results
Dulux Natural White - Full Strength on walls - Low Sheen Acrylic
Dulux Natural White - Full Strength on trim (skirts, arcs, doors) - Semi Gloss Aquanamel (hard wearing but washes up n water) - You could also go half strength if you like a bit of contrast but I'm happy for it to all blend in.
Dulux Natural White - Half Strength - Ceilings - Low Sheen Acrylic
I hope this helps
Happy painting!

Another great white is white duck 1/4. It's a grey brown white. With 1/2 lexicon it looks great!
- February 21, 2014 at 1:27 PM
Hi Melissa, What Dulux white colour could you suggest use with gloss two pack cabinets that are having Caesarstone Frosty Carina bench tops? Thought Dulux Designer White or Vivid White or White on White? Not keen on creamy beige bluey green undertones but prefer greyer cooler undertones. Understand the stone is warmish though. The walls will be same colour and medium colour wooden flooring. Prob more industrial.You have a great site.Thanks.

According to Matt Wade, chief deputy for the Calhoun County Sheriff's Office, the 17-year-old suspect convinced the victim to skip school with him and pressured her into having sex. Wade said that when the suspect was brought to the Sheriff's Office on Friday, he told deputies he raped the victim because "she wasn't right" and he thought that he could get away with it.
Wade declined to provide the victim's specific disability, saying it would identify her.
Deputies said today that the victim told her mother about the incident a couple of weeks later.
Wade said 2nd Chance, the Calhoun Cleburne Children's Center and the Daybreak Rape Crisis Center have all been involved in the case.
The suspect was at the Alabama Department of Youth Services today, Wade said. The suspect faces charges of one count of second-degree rape and a count of second-degree sodomy, both felonies, according to a report from the Sheriff's Office.

Evans: Torres deserved his red card
Jonny Evans has backed referee Mark Clattenburg for sending off Fernando Torres in Manchester United's 3-2 win at nine-man Chelsea.
After the Blues had overturned a two-goal deficit, they were reduced to nine men when first Branislav Ivanovic was dismissed before Torres received a second yellow card for diving following Evans' challenge.
The decision prompted angry exchanges between managers Sir Alex Ferguson and Roberto Di Matteo before Javier Hernandez scored the winner for the visitors.
Asked whether there was any contact between himself and Torres, Evans told Sky Sports 1: "At the time I didn't feel like I'd made contact but I've seen it again and there was a bit of contact.
"I didn't feel like it was enough to bring him down.
"He probably realised he wasn't getting the ball and I think the referee's made the right decision in sending him off."
A David Luiz own goal and Robin van Persie's ninth strike of the season had put United firmly on top but Chelsea showed their courage to equalise through Juan Mata and Ramires.
However, the dismissals changed the face of the game and Hernandez scored the decisive goal in the 75th minute to end United's 10-year wait for a win at Stamford Bridge.
"I think that's probably the hardest game we've had this season, especially towards the end of the first half," Evans added.
"Chelsea really came at us and put the pressure on us and it was tough. We were probably lucky to see it out 2-1 at half-time.
"You've got to show character in games like this.
"We came out for the second half and you've got to stand up coming here to Stamford Bridge.
"It's a tough game, we knew we were going to be under pressure and they get the equaliser and the sendings off in-between that but we managed to finish it off in the end."
If Chelsea were feeling hard done by with the two dismissals, Chelsea were dealt another blow as replays showed Hernandez was in an offside position before scoring.
"We don't care. We win. We have the three points, that's the only thing on my mind," the Mexican said.
"For some people it will be be very controversial and for other people it won't.
"We're very happy because we get the three points."
Ferguson believes Torres had only himself to blame for being sent off.
"Did he intend to dive? I thought he went down," said the Scot.
"I think Jonny may have just caught him a little bit but he can either carry on running - which he could have done - but he chose to go down.
"He could have carried on and scored so I cannot understand it. It's his own fault."
Ivanovic's dismissal was less controversial, the Serbia international seeing red for bringing down Ashley Young, who had been played clean through by Van Persie.
And Ferguson admitted that was the turning point.
"You have to give credit to Chelsea, they never gave in," he added.
"They showed a great desire to get back in the game.
"I think the sending off from the right-back was the turning point. I think we wouldn't have won at that point.
"But we put Chicharito (Hernandez) on and he gets the winning goal and I think the momentum was with us then."
Di Matteo blasted the officiating as Chelsea suffered their first league defeat of the season and their second in a week following their midweek Champions League loss at Shakhtar Donetsk.
The Italian is adamant there was contact between Torres and Evans and believes the Manchester United defender should have been sent off as he denied the Spaniard a goalscoring opportunity.
"The key decisions from the referee today probably influenced the result," said Di Matteo.
"He sent off Fernando Torres and the third goal is offside and it clearly has decided the game.
"He's (Torres) put the ball between his legs and is through and gets a kick on his shin and he goes down.
"It's a free-kick for us and I think it should have been a sending off for Evans because he's through to the goal.
"Everything went for United and that really makes us unhappy."

I am quite sick of seeing her grabbing media headlines actually. However, if you are not sick of her yet, here's a video of an interview Ris Low did with Shan and Rozz on clicknetwork:
In the video, Ris Low spewed swear words openly and coined another term, "Shingz" to add to her "Boomz" dictionary. She also stripped to her "bigini" at the ending. No doubt a publicity stunt.
If you don't know also, Ris Low has started her personal website/blog – http://rislow.sg/
Clearly, she loves all the attention, regardless if it's positive or negative. Are we all going to still lap it up to her to inflate her ego?
The way I see it, she is following closely in the footstep of another Internet superstar – Steven Dragon Lim. Will Ris Low also be opening a modeling agency too in the near future? :)

Hadon tap at blind tiger- pours a hazy bright golden yellow, with minimal head, retention and lacing.
Smell is mild- pale malt, yeast, some candy sugar and a hint if smoke.
Taste is very nice but unexciting considering the name if this brew. Lots of traditional tripel flavors; banana, yeast, pilsner malt, candi sugar. If there's any hint if smoke, it lingers throughout and never punches through.
Mouthfeel is nice medium body and light carbonation. I like allagash- but this is not up to snuff imop.

Draft at The Pour House in Westmont, NJ.
Pours a hazy, dark golden yellow color with straw like edges and a pillowy, two finger white head that slowly settled into a lasting ring. Streaks of soapy lacing left behind.
Slight spicy aroma with bready yeast, citrus and pale fruit. Not much smoke but has some subtle funky yeast. Hints of pepper and coriander with a strong bread and citrus zest character. Smells like a slightly funky tripel with only faint smoke after it warns.
Medium bodied and slightly more tart than expected. Again, not very smokey with just a very faint presence after it warms considerably. Peppery with clove and coriander flavor followed by bread and funky yeast notes. Lots of citrus sweetness with grapefruit and lemon juice toward the finish. Also, there's a touch of sweet boozy toward the back end. Only slightly different than the regular tripel but not as good or complex. The smoke presence is way to faint for my preference and the slightly funky flavor is a bit odd here.

This guy was served from the tap at The Blind Tiger in New York, NY. It glowed a hazy, golden honey wheat coloring through the walls of the generic tulip it arrived in. it held a one finger head of creamy white bubbles, showing nice retention. Tight patterned lacing was left dripping. There was big haze to the beer, with no sediment, and average carbonation. The aroma showed pale malts, nuttiness, sour notes of lemon and orange flesh and rind, and leathery booze with cooling winter spice of bubblegum esters. Clovey phenols came on the back, with a surprisingly light smokiness. Our first impression was that there was huge smoke and peat sitting alongside significantly citric and souring malts. As we sipped, big smoke and meatiness of a winter ham hit the palate. These flavors mixed with apple and orange flesh sweetness, and walnut smoothness. The middle peaked with clove and more of that succulent ham quality, with more bittering phenols, orange peel sweetness, and the biggest smoky punch of the entire tasting. The finish was of big Band-Aid phenols and bittering medicinals, coconut and walnut sweetness to cut, and a final smoothness of caramel sugars and vanilla booze. The aftertaste breathed of smoke and char, winter spice, piney hops, and hollow echoes of fusel ethanol. The body was medium, and the carbonation was medium. There was nice slurp, smack, cream, and froth, with massively big bubbles bouncing around the mouth. The palate was slightly dried, and a bit puckered, but otherwise happy. The abv was appropriate, and the beer drank on the easier side.
Overall, what we enjoyed most about this brew was the big smokiness of flavoring. It really hit the palate hard, waking you up much like too much wasabi. Through the flavoring comes a big variety of maltiness, and the Allagash Tripel base does become apparent. The smoke plays off this nicely, but by the end of the glass it becomes a bit much, and you might be hoping there was someone by your side to split the burden with you.

I had this on-tap during Baltimore beer week. Served in a sample glass.
Appearance: The beer pours a slightly cloudy golden color with an amber hue. There is a layer of off white head that leaves a decent ring around the pour.
Smell: I would say this one is light and yeasty. Belgian yeast spice is there with some malt sweetness and a touch of funk/tartness. Not too much smoke here.
Taste: Belgian yeast spice is the main flavor. I am getting some smoke here, but not very much. The overall flavor is light with just a small amount of malt sweetness. I'd say this one is a bit boring, but not bad.
Mouthfeel: The body is medium with strong tingly carbonation and a dry finish.
Overall: I would have liked more smoke in this one. It wasn't a bad beer, but I had hoped it would be more interesting.

Sierra Grille, always seem to have the semi-obscure Allagash brews lately. Had this on-tap there last week, reviewed from notes.
Pours into the Allagash tulip orange with a finger or so of white head. Eventually reduces to a patchy cap with spots of lace left.
Smell/taste - Smoky pale Belgian, woah. Smoky and hammy malts blend with citrus, apple, straw, yeasty and bready tones. An odd combo of flavors for sure but pretty good and well-balanced.
Mouthfeel is decent, a bit high on the carbonation, drinks quite easy for the alcohol content. (listed as 9.2%).
Kind of a novelty beer, this is sure to get some mixed reactions, but unique and enjoyable overall.

Fans of rauchbier should definitely give this a try.. lighter style of rauchbier than you'll see from the Schlenkerla Märzen or Doppel.. more in the line of High & Mighty Fumata Bianca, but without the wheat character. Good fruit and subtle citrus up front with a great blast of smokiness on the finish. To lover of the style, or anyone who is doing a barbecue.. give this beer a try! Stays refreshing while still smokey.

In January, General Motors sent a shockwave through the Corvette community by offering for sale some of the marque's most famous experimental, developmental, and pilot-line cars. These special Corvettes were part of the GM Heritage Collection, an assortment of significant vehicles from throughout the corporation's 100-year history. Although GM did not offer an official explanation for the sell-off, it was believed to be part of a desperate bid to raise operating capital in the face of plummeting new-vehicle sales.
Thirty-three Corvettes crossed the block at Barrett-Jackson's annual Scottsdale event, and all of them sold. What follows is a list of some of the more interesting Vettes included on the docket. (Note: Sale prices include buyer's premium.)

AUSTIN -- The latest round of test results from the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness exam, STAAR, have been released.
Students took the controversial STAAR last spring. It was the first time for the test, and it showed students in Texas are struggling.
Those who failed took it again in the fall. According to the Texas Education Agency, passing rates among the 9th graders, who are now in 10th grade, jumped 10 percent overall with the second round of testing.
- In Biology: 91 percent met state standards.
- In World Geography and Algebra: nearly 85 percent passed.
- In Writing: nearly 73 percent passed.
However the writing portion still proved to be the area with the largest gains. During spring testing, just 54 percent met state standards.
The test scores are designed to make up 15 percent of a student's overall grade. Many school districts and parents fought the standard.
"Basically I feel like our schools are caught up in a vice between budget cuts on the one hand and this kind of testing craziness," said parent Mike Corwin.
Districts are fighting for change in the ongoing lawsuit on school finance. The Austin School District is among them. Officials at AISD claim that the budget cuts enacted in the last legislative session took away necessary resources to meet the new state standards.
"AISD wanted to join with all the other school districts across the state who are seeking more resources to help our ever changing, challenging demographic of students to meet the standards the state has set," explained Edna Ramon Butts of AISD.
Education Commissioner Michael Williams signed documents in the fall which will keep STAAR test scores from counting toward the final grade for high school students this school year. It will be the second year in a row for such a waiver.
Several bills have been filed in the State Senate and the State House to review and potentially change the standards of the STAAR exam.

GRANA here; last night we made plans to go to the flea market today..The last visit;t was a hot July day & we both faded out& left for home early,planning to return once the weather got better for hubby to push my wheelchair around for r hours.Before we left he got himself a dozen pairs of sports socks for only ( $3_ and also 4 pairs of plaid otton briefs, also $3_I saw several racks of Native American earring thatI liked but agreed to wait for moreaccoodating weather& another visit.today was to be that visit At 0200 hrs( 2AM)we woke up to the sound of heavy rainfall, & immediately realized that the outdoor flea market would be flooded & muddy. We both got some more zzzzz's & our kitties impatiently allowed us old humans to get our much needed rest, trusting they would be fed breakfast "pretty soon", typically 7AM!The rain stopped @ 10AM; the sun shone brilliantly too late for the vendors to arrive& set up their tables& racks for business Their & our day of flea market business was past & hubby apologized for my disappointment( no fault lt of his) I smiled& suggested"another week might be another chance for me.The last time one vendor had racks of naïve American "dream catchers" woven from fine threads in colors to go w/ several of my fall silky blouses & I hope there are enough in my preffered colors o make bargainingrealistic. I've found when a vendor has 2 racks ( 50+ pairs) bargaining is more likely than when only a very few pairs are left. Sometimes a vendor has only 2 or 3 pairs of vintage earrigs & hubby or I grab them whatever the price!!!!!!!!I have wires in both 14Kt & stelrling silver[ anniversary gift 10+ years ago & hubby faithfully buys drops to fit on both metals. ever since. I have (vintage) drops in garnet , onyx I& pearl that are usually admired by those who see them...( docs, dentist, hair dresser, checkout clerks; friends & myself to be worn by others & usual;ly at a bargain price of less than $20 pair, not counting the wires( gold $95 - $220 & silver $30_Since the wires are mine, bought new I have no concerns about health risks from previous usually deceased owners.

'This area is so rich in history …'
By Ashley Rader
Members of the Southeastern Outdoor Press Association took in some of Carter County's most historic tourist spots during a Friday morning visit.
About 20 members of the association were part of the Carter County tour, which stopped at Sycamore Shoals State Historic Area, the Carter Mansion, the Covered Bridge, downtown Elizabethton and the Bonnie Kate Theatre and Café, where they were treated to a performance by the Front Porch Storytellers.
The Carter County Tourism Development Council hosted the local tour.
At Sycamore Shoals State Park, Interpretative Ranger Jason Davis gave the group a tour of the fort, and told the story of the first settlers. The tour group was also told about the historical importance of the Fort Watauga.

How is radiation therapy given?
Informed consent
Before treatment, you will be asked to sign a consent form. This form gives the doctor permission to treat you with radiation and do the tests that are needed to plan your treatment. The details of the consent form may vary, but it usually says that your doctor has explained to you how radiation therapy may benefit you, the possible risks, the type of radiation to be used, and your other treatment options. By signing the form, you are saying that you have gotten this information, that you understand it, and that you are willing to be treated with radiation. It also means that you understand there is no guarantee that the treatment will work.
Before signing the consent form, be sure that you understand these things:
- Your diagnosis
- The type of radiation treatment the doctor plans to use
- Other treatment options available for you
- How the treatment will be given, including how long it will last
- Whether you will need tattoos or permanent markings for treatment
- The potential benefits of the treatment
- The possible side effects, including when they usually show up and how long they last
- When to call your doctor
- The possible outcomes if you refuse treatment

Packing list for Philippines
From Peace Corps Wiki
This list has been compiled by Volunteers serving in the Philippines and is based on their experience. Use it as an informal guide in making your own list, bearing in mind that experience is individual. There is no perfect list! You obviously cannot bring everything on the list, so consider those items that make the most sense to you personally and professionally. You can always have things sent to you later. As you decide what to bring, keep in mind that you have an 80-pound weight limit on baggage. And remember, you can get almost everything you need in the Philippines.
General Clothing
For Women
- Two or three blouses and cotton skirts (at least knee length) and two or three dresses (at least knee length) for work, meetings with officials, social events, and formal Peace Corps functions

- Several nice T-shirts, including plain white ones to be printed with Peace Corps designs
- Lightweight sweatpants and sweatshirt (for the occasional cool, rainy nights)
- One lightweight jacket or sweater

- Five to eight casual but neat T-shirts
- Eight to 10 pairs of cotton briefs or boxers
- One or two undershirts

- Camera with silica gel and airtight container to protect film and equipment from the heat and humidity; most standard black-and-white, color, and slide films are available in larger cities, but the quality of processing varies markedly (you can buy mailers to send your film to the United States, Japan, or Australia for processing)
- Durable, waterproof backpack for overnight trips
- Photos of your family, pets, home, etc. to share with Filipino co-workers and friends
- Duct tape (useful for fixing almost anything and hard to find locally)

At a black-tie gala to celebrate the grand opening of the Omni Orlando Resort at Championsgate, developer David Mitzner, a former prisoner of war, spoke about the origins of the project. "There was one interchange that did not belong to Disney," said Mitzner, referring to the land off Interstate 4 near Walt Disney World Resorts. "I looked at it, I liked it, but at the time, I never knew what I was going to do with it."
Seventeen years later, it all came into focus.
On December 4, fireworks and a ribbon-cutting ceremony featuring special guest Arnold Palmer heralded the arrival of the newest player in the competitive Orlando-area resort and meetings market. Palmer, along with golfing greats Lee Trevino, Bernhard Langer, Vijay Singh, and others were there to participate in the Office Depot Father-Son Challenge tournament held at the resort's Championsgate Golf Club. The lobbies and receptions were buzzing with talk of bumping into the golfers, some of whom were also staying at the hotel.
The golf tournament was just one of the highlights. Some 550 invited guests, including meeting planners, were on hand for the celebration, dubbed The Fine Art of Hospitality. Through golf, receptions, and art displays, the hosts showed off the resort's upscale accommodations and amenities: 730 guest rooms and suites; 27 meeting rooms and 70,000 square feet of meeting space; two ballrooms totaling 45,000 square feet; a European-style spa; two fine-dining restaurants; two bars; two championship golf courses designed by Greg Norman; and the world headquarters of the David Leadbetter Golf Academy. The Championsgate Golf Club won Corporate Meetings & Incentives' 2004 Golden Links award for the best new golf course.
As you drive in under the "Championsgate" gate, you realize that it's more than just a resort—it's a community. The 1,500-acre property also includes condominiums and retail shops and will soon have villas and townhouses. The hotel cuts a commanding presence on the landscape, rising 16 stories, making it the tallest building in Osceola County.
"Sensible luxury, natural beauty," is how Paul Pebley, director of marketing, describes the property. Pebley sees it as an attractive alternative for groups that prefer a "peaceful, quiet, and rejuvenating" setting. With golf courses off the back entrance and all the necessary meeting accommodations on site, the resort offers a contained as well as controlled environment for meetings without the distractions of theme parks and other activities to pull attendees away from their work. But not to worry, for those who want to enjoy the Disney experience, it's just a few miles down the road.

Nice Guys' Finish
We are now entering the part of the presidential race in which things are going to start to get interesting. Nearly every day or at least once a week there's going to be major polling released about how the candidates are doing nationally and in the swing states. With each poll, there'll be plenty of spinning.
If the results of any one poll are not favoring one candidate, there will be a complementary question that will overshadow the point that the pollster would like to cover up. One of the questions of late is likability. How well do you like the candidate? Do you want to have a beer with this candidate? Here in Wisconsin, beer seems to be a pretty important subject. But I like to think that presidential politics when it comes to voting should be taken a lot more seriously than what kind of beer you would have with either the president or the governor.
There is so much to be done with all levels of education in the United States, and so much that is being done horribly wrong, and so much that is offered as a solution that is even more wrong, that I shall try to shed some light on where we have been, where we are, and where we are heading in higher education. There isn't enough room here to even touch the surface of higher education, let alone all of education in the U.S.
The backbone of higher education in the U.S., historically, has been in the field of liberal arts. Liberal arts have been the springboard to original thinking, and freeing us from the narrow-mindedness and short-sightedness of business and industry. To be sure, business and industry have fluorished in America. That is obvious. Less obvious, but far more profound, has been the impact left by liberal arts in the U.S.

While critics of guns are lining up myriad attachments to the recent Sikh temple killings in Milwaukee [Oak Creek], these oversimplifications are far exceeded by the defenses and excuses for our gun culture and the silly attachement to the Second Amendment in the U.S. Constitution. Our "well regulated militia" has us killing each other in record numbers.
Look clearly, something has to be done. Killings with guns developed for battle have become all too regular. These group murders have become increasingly common even in Wisconsin. We have to grow up and come to grips with solutions not excuses.

Our Children's Summer Reading Program party is tomorrow!
Friday August 10th from 2:30-4:00 PM.
It becomes more apparent each day that the United States of America has become infested with greed, guns, violence, ignorant fundamentalism, bigotry, ad infinitum. What to do? Is the onslaught too much to do anything about? While many Americans profess that they cling to the Holy Bible for guidance, the history of the world indicates that either these same people are not reading the Bible or are ignoring it. No religion, no ideology has been more violent and more killing than have been the Christians ...sometimes of other Christians. The domestic terrorism in Oak Creek is not an isolated case. Using violence and guns in particular, Wisconsin has a recent history of religious or other bigotry manisfesting itself in multiple murders. Add greed, add selfishness, add more guns, add a warlike culture, and you have a recipe for these actions.
I struggle, too, to try and make any sense of it. Allow me to share some quotes with you...
After the shock and sadness related to the domestic terrorism at the Sikh temple in Oak Creek, the metro Milwaukee community has had an opportunity to reflect on a wide variety of things that are infecting American society. During these dark hours, our better selves have surfaced. People have embraced our Sikh neighbors. Too often seen as "the other," during their recent pain and suffering we have come to see them as our brothers and sisters. No longer are we prone to judge them simply because of their turbans and beards. Where confusion reigned, there is now some enlightenment ...finally!
I hope this sort of insight continues. Bigotry is a disease that infests us too much and too often. And it is contagious. But peace, brotherhood, love, compassion, understanding, openness, etc. can also be contagious. This painful lesson must be etched in our collective memory and translated into progress in human relations and tolerance. It is time to embrace each other, not to judge and produce hateful violence.
Mandela Barnes is the one for Assembly 11.
As elected members of the Glendale-River Hills School Board, we are pleased to throw our support behind Mandela Barnes for the 11th Assembly District.
Mandela Barnes has pledged to work with legislators from both parties in the legislature to reform the way our schools are funded. Glendale-River Hills schools receive less than 7% of our funding from state aid. We shoulder the burden of funding our schools through the property tax. Voters in our school district have repeatedly supported referenda that allow us to maintain top-notch programs and services, and to maintain our school buildings. Mandela will work to correct the flawed funding formula and to ease our property tax burden.
Mr. Barnes is also vehemently opposed to expanding vouchers to suburban school districts. Vouchers are a "double-whammy" to our public schools. Right now, our public schools are required to offer special ed services, speech and occupational therapy, and bussing services to private school students. Since they are not enrolled in the public schools, our school districts CANNOT count those students in our per pupil budgeting, yet we have to provide them services without additional resources to do so. Vouchers maintain the unfunded public school services requirement for private school students, but ALSO siphon away thousands of additional dollars per pupil to help pay for private school tuition. Expanding the Milwaukee voucher program to the suburbs will decimate our fine school district's budget.
Mandela Barnes understands the complexity of the school funding and voucher issues and will support the taxpayers in Glendale by advocating for school funding reforms and by opposing vouchers. We ask you to support Mandela Barnes in the Democratic Primary on August 14.

Assassination Attempt
Soon after the naming of Paul Ryan as Mitt Romney's running mate, both Republican and Democrats were cheering. The Republicans were cheering because Paul Ryan is an excellent choice. The Democrats were cheering because they have already done their research and have a lot of half-truths and lies ready to spread about Paul Ryan. The Democrats affectionately call this the good, the bad, and the ugly. Their emphasis is on the pad in the ugly.

Greed, Guns, Bigotry ...IMAGINE!
Following the London Olympics opening ceremony where the Brits celebrated universal health care and John Lennon, etc., and following the string of shootings throughout the U.S., I thought it was time for us to think of a world better than the one that greed capitalism is giving us. The lyrics to the song "Imagine!" by John Lennon, played at the Olympic opening, follow. Please think of a world that could be...could be. Imagine with all our wealth and riches shared, just imagine what kind of a world we could build.

The parade of extreme right-wing groups is destroying America. And they parade more often now, and with more confrontational assertiveness, more guns, more religious overtones, etc. Our nation is being stolen from us. There seems to be a right-wing joy today in preventing legislation, giving us religious sermons, demeaning our President, lies, deception, and support for the military-industrial complex. Not only do the greedy individuals and corporations benefit from this warped loyalty, they are making puppets and stooges for the wealthy and the war corporations. Tax the poor, reward the rich. Sad.
The American form of fascism has us believing that we need war, we must prepare for war, we need to give tax breaks to the military corporations, and we need to "protect" the rich. And it is bathed in patriotism. The following quote is especially aimed at those religious nuts who confuse and co-mingle the Bible with their political ideology. When you parade around about the Bible being God's word, consider the following:
