Rick's Camaros is your one-stop shop for 1974 Camaro parts. The 1974 Camaro was a Second Generation F-Body Camaro, spanning from years 1970-1981. 1974 included the Z28 Coupe, Type LT Coupe, and Standard Coupe. 1974 marked the first major facelift of the second gen Camaros, with new front and rear aluminum bumpers, a body-color fascia above the front bumper, new taillights, a forward sloping grille, and the model length growing by seven inches. This was the first time that the Rally Sport option was not made available in the Camaro's run. New fuel tanks increased capacity from 18 to 21 gallons, radial tires were made available for the first time, wear sensors were added to front brakes and ball joints, and keying was modified. 1974 Camaros were the only models to be equipped with seat-belt interlocks, as mandated by Federal regulation, which required fastened seat belts before the engine would start. The Type LT saw new fabrics for seats, changed interior detailing, and added sound insulation throughout the interior. This was also the last model to feature the rear window style debuted back in 1970. In addition to carrying 2nd Generation 1974 Camaro parts, Rick's Camaros has parts for all Camaro models available.

My one regret is not spending the extra $ to get a hardware key logger which I could have removed/put on...at will.
When eblaster failed me, this one would have kicked in.
Another thing I want to bring up here is the number of situations where when the WS was confronted with videos, etc. -- IRREFUTABLE PROOF -- there were still spouses who steadfastly DENIED EVERYTHING.
I guess the bottom line for me now is:
Cut my losses!
(Though, like Jitter, I do occasionally *indulge* in a wave of EXCAVATIONS, etc.)
I'm fighting on 2 fronts:
Marital infidelity
Financial infidelity
They usually go, hand in hand.
Since I don't give a rat's ass about the punk anymore because "it is what it is and not what we had hoped it would be", the former is a moot point; however, the IRS can have a field day with the financials.
He acts so smooth, so unruffled, so suave about his deception & lies.
Ahhh, we shall see, we shall see!
Well, I think you're the one who said it (but regardless of who said it, it applies), I keep hoping that if I get enough proof to force him to admit or tell me straight what happened, we can actually sit down and deal with it.
Yeah, I was at least one of the ones who said it. I asked because you said that if it weren't for finances, you'd leave, so I thought something might have changed in terms of your expectations.
And probably that's not going to happen, is it?
This is the million-dollar question! I keep thinking that if everything came out, he'd *have* to feel relief. It must be *miserable* for him to live this way, etc., etc. If I think too long about it, though, I suspect I'm just projecting. He hasn't changed anything as a result of the lies I've caught him in already, after all, so realistically, why would I expect him to deal with the ones I haven't caught him in?
I guess it's like the story of the policeman coming to the door to say your spouse died, but you don't need to know how. After all, knowing wouldn't change anything in that situation, either, would it?
That analogy is about the best one I've read on this forum. It had such a profound effect on me that, the day I read it, I shared it with my H. I was *so* sure it would open his eyes.
Didn't make a dent. NOTHING seems to make a dent.
A couple of weeks ago I emailed him what I thought was a very articulate essay about lying. I *rarely* email anything to him, so I thought this might get his attention more so than if I'd just printed it out.
He came home early from work that day and said he'd received the email and that he "would read it." Would?!? He couldn't take five minutes and read it right then?!? I thought this, but I didn't say anything.
Four days later, he *still* hadn't brought it up. I finally got furious--and he had to have known I would be--but I may as well have been talking to a tree.
I mean really, what in hell is WRONG with these people? I know my H is a passive-aggressive conflict avoider. I think myself silly trying to understand him. But what am I? His shrink?!?
If the situation were reversed--if he were telling me that he had this HUGE problem with our marriage that was so serious he was thinking of divorcing me--I'd be scrambling all over the place to address it, to fix it, to at least *talk* about it.
He does . . . just the opposite. And if I thought it was because he simply didn't give a damn, I'd walk away. Am I kidding myself? Maybe he really *doesn't* give a damn. And ultimately, what difference do the "why's" make when the results are the same?
Okay here comes another barf emoticon:
I'm fighting on 2 fronts:
Marital infidelity
Financial infidelity
They usually go, hand in hand.
They usually go, hand in hand.
dreamlife, I'm dealing with financial infidelity as well. About a year ago, I demanded to see all his financial records, including his checkbook (we have separate accounts--ahem). I was floored to see how much money he takes out in cash every month.
To his credit, he's made an effort to be more open about his spending. Still, he hasn't explained where all that money went. Scratch that. He *has* explained. But he was lying.
I mean can all those little things coincidences add up to bad luck, misfortune on the SWS side or are they the part of the bigger picture, you know the little strokes of paint that create the picture itself.
Of course they lie and gaslight us like crazy hoping that we will believe them but the things keep happening and the gut keeps gnawing at you eitherway. If you cannot make since of it than most probable it is the simplet explanation rather than the coincidence situation They are cheating and don't want us to catch them outright, some BW's will leave for what looks like lipsticks marks on the shirt of her H and some will not. It all goes with what is going on in OUR HEAD at that time. I have heard some doozies out of my WS mouth but he will never admit to cheating. I can't belive he is so cruel as he knows it effects me almost everyday and little coincidences keep right on happening to me just the same. I ask him about them and he says I don't know or some other stupid completly idiotic excuse is offereed to me. Do I want to believe the lesser of the two evils, your damn right I do, but my gut says NO!
I can't belive he is so cruel as he knows it effects me almost everyday and little coincidences keep right on happening to me just the same.
I said this exact thing to my H about being cruel, Sodown. You'd have thought I accused him of strangling bunnies. Cruel?!? HIM?!? He just doesn't get it.
I ask him about them and he says I don't know or some other stupid completly idiotic excuse is offereed to me. Do I want to believe the lesser of the two evils, your damn right I do, but my gut says NO!
And like dreamlife wrote above, sometimes they're confronted with irrefutable proof and still deny it. I read a story--I think it was on this forum--where the W walked in on her WH and his OW in *bed,* and the WH tried to convince her she was hallucinating the whole thing.
I always wondered what would have happened if she'd taken a gun out and shot him a few times. You know, since she was only "hallucinating . . ."
My husband packed one of the books in his work bag for months, but never once cracked it open.
Like you, if my husband were talking about divorcing me, if my husband had refused to have sex with me for the last 5 months, I'd be SCRAMBLING, I'd want to talk, I'd want to fix things.
Like you, some days I think he must 'care' in whatever way he's capable because he keeps bringing me roses and making me breakfast and jumping to do any little thing he can for me.
But there's just no more room under that carpet. And he refuses to finally start cleaning it out.
But there's just no more room under that carpet. And he refuses to finally start cleaning it out.
Capri, is your (our? ) H this way with other kinds of problems? Does he sweep everything negative under the carpet--particularly when he's done something wrong or made a mistake--or is it just the marital stuff?
One thing I've realized about my H over the years is that he has a lot of difficulty admitting he's been wrong about anything. One of a gabillion examples: he once got a ticket for parking in the emergency lane while he ran into a store for a minute. He seemed genuinely outraged by this. As if the police officer should have given him a break . . . um, why? Because he's him? I have no idea.
But if he can't admit to *himself* that parking in the emergency lane was wrong, I can kinda see how admitting to me that he boinked a 20-year-old would present him with problems, you know?
Yeah. Everything under the carpet. I hate the carpet. Really hate the carpet.
Capri, is your (our? ) H this way with other kinds of problems?
We'll have to call him/them Mr. Jittercap or Mr. Capribug!
Well, that's a good question. He's very much shove it under the rug, but only marital issues spring to mind. I'm trying to think what other mistakes he's made. He's mostly so perfect, you know!
He met the girlfried before me when he was married to his 1st wife. He says they were just friends, that he told all of his problems to her, including his "supposed" problems with his wife. He started dating her a month after he left the 1st wife. I told him this was definitely an emotional affair and he only left the wife because he had the "friend" waiting in the wings. He denies this of course, but he knows he's wrong (or does he?) and that I know he is wrong. He just won't admit it.
I think he did the same thing to me. It is the only way of explaing how he could leave me so suddenly and cut me off completely. He already had someone else lined up. Poor girl.

Cats, I'd say the chances are pretty good that he had a PA with this "friend."

I'm betting you're right that he had someone waiting in the wings. This is so-o-o-o sounding like a pattern with him. And that's his tragedy. He'll wade for as long as he can in the shallow "stream of endless pussy," never having set foot in what could have been an ocean. His loss.
What I find so amazing about being "in the dark" NOW is how he kept *stressing* that he was an OPEN BOOK when we were dating for one year, +!
Yeah, dreamlife. There are times I become so untrusting that I think he's not just lying, he's saying the exact *opposite* of what is true.
My H has this weird habit of telling me what is "NOT" happening--out of the blue, especially when we're talking about our marriage. E.g.: "I'm not just saying this to make you feel better, but . . ."
First thing that pops into my jaded brain? He's just saying this to try to make me feel better. . . .
Anybody read it?
NOTE TO CAPRI: Here's what she has to say about "Glamour Gaslighters":
If you're involved with a Glamour Gaslighter, you may be nodding in recognition-- yet still feeling confused. You can see the behavior, but you're still not quite sure why it's such a problem.
Well, I can tell you why: At least some--and maybe all--of the time, your gaslighter is completely involved in proving to himself what a romantic guy he is. That's his version of the gaslighter's need to be right. he looks like he's relating to you, but he's really only involved with himself. The actions he chooses to fulfill his needs may seem loving, attentive, and satisfying, but his lack of genuine connection with you leaves you feeling lonely.
And the "Good Guy Gaslighter":
He'll do his share--and more--of the household and relationship work. Yet you never quite feel as though he's fully participating. And when you ask for emotional reassurance or try to connect with him more deeply, he'll look at you blankly. Why, you wonder, are you so selfish and demanding?
I am so getting this book!
I have learned to assume that when my WH tells me something is right -- its really left, etc.
And, also of course, to simply ASSUME that *every thing* he tells me is a lie, lie, LIE...makes MY life easier to understand & deal with, especially with respect to his convoluted universe where he delights in Mind Fucking, AKA "duping delight".
This is the favorite game played by sociopaths and predators on unsuspecting people who trust them.
I have actually heard him tell his 80+ year old father the most outrageous LIES about his job, his "bad health", etc.
Then after WH hangs up the phone, he'll laugh mirthfully about duping my FIL!
Then after WH hangs up the phone, he'll laugh mirthfully about duping my FIL!
Good grief, dreamlife, that's abhorrent. My H lies and gaslights, to be sure, but he's never been *proud* of it.
Um. I don't *think.*
Mind you, I should have gotten a clue years ago when fwh bragged about how he was smarter than his sister because he just lied to his mother and everybody went away happy, whereas his sister told the truth and got everyone riled up. But I somehow didn't really think that meant that HE did things he shouldn't and lied about it.

I was wondering, are any of your WS worried that you might have an A?
I don't think it would ever cross my H's mind that I might have an A. His ego, fragile though it may be, is just that big.
Although I reassure him that I wont, sometimes I feel like letting believe that I might or that I am. Although bogus, letting him feel just a bit of what I feel.
I can see how this might give you some gratification in the short-term, but it won't do anything to make your M better and would likely make it worse. I do understand the impulse, though.
Maybe we should all send each other a dozen red roses with an unsigned card. When H asks where they came from, we say, "Gosh, honey, I thought they were from you. . . ."
Or better yet: "What roses? *I* don't see any roses."

VIDEO: Foo Fighters Singing Protest Of Westboro Baptist Church (God Hates Fags)
Yesterday in Kansas City, the Westboro Baptist Church was all set and ready to protest the Foo Fighters. This cruel group was caught off guard by the Foo Fighters turning this into an anti-protest and dressed in trucker attire, sang to the protesters and excited the crowd.
The "church" of judgmental prejudiced assholes announced that it would be coming to protest the Foo Fighter's concert because they used their position in the media to promote "fornication, adultery, idolatry, f*gs," as opposed to "using it to encourage obedience to God."
Luckily, the Foo Fighters band members not only have a sense of humor, but stand up for what they believe in and shocked everyone by pulling up in front of the Sprint Center on a flatbed truck in their "homoerotic" video 'Hot Buns' attire. Dave Grohl took it one step further and made it clear that he supported diversity.
"I don't care if you're black or white or purple or green. Whether you're Pennsylvanian or Transylvanian, Lady Gaga or Lady Antebellum," he tells the crowd. "Men loving women and women loving men, and men loving men and women loving women, you all know we like to watch that. God Bless America, y'all!"
Way to go and make a stand against these sick and twisted group of individuals. For far too long, people have been rendered speechless due to their protests, and it is about fucking time someone who has the ability to stage an anti-protest has done so. They are a hateful group and if a God does exist (which I do not believe, but doesn't mean it's not true) than I would be willing to bet he would not forgive these people for the atrocities that they commit on the daily.

Which Is The Best Real Sound Gear?
By Mike Wheeler | Friday | 06/06/2008
We help fine-tune your music experience by providing a heads up on the best gear that will enhance your listening pleasure.
BEST CD PLAYERMarantz
Yes, its asking price may sound high, but this top-of-the-line, state-of-art CD player sets the benchmark for all CD players. It's not a brand new product for Marantz, but its quality and reproduction of sound has stood the test of time. Thus, for the serious audiophile, this player may even seem somewhat of a bargain. BEST RECEIVERYamahaRX-Z11
This hot new 11.2 channel uber-amp ticks all the boxes. The combination of features, design and performance took four years to develop. We say it's the most flexible, feature-laden and future-proof AV amp we've seen, and we're confident it will remain a class-leader for some time to come. Awesome!
BEST DOCKING SPEAKERSBowers & Wilkins
ZeppelinRRP $999.95
This B&W iPod dock raises the bar of iPod sound systems. Using technologies from the company's high-end 800 series speaker range, the dock is designed to provide audio quality never-before-heard from compressed audio files. Zeppelin is uniquely styled, guaranteed to stand out in any room.
This small but beefy subwoofer is an oldie but a goodie. We remain impressed by its versatility and the synergy of all that it does. As a decent sub should it has superb output, plus it will have the Wife Acceptance Factor with its compact, stylish looks. A very musical subwoofer, this REL is a real class act.
BEST SPEAKERS UNDER $3,000Acoustic Energy
Aelite 3RRP $1,999
Acoustic Energy proved its Real Sound chops back in the 80s with the Aelite 1. Fast forward a few decades and we have this more affordable and highly impressive floorstander: the Aelite 3. With its attractive and functional curved sides, and its metal cone drivers, you get exceptional neutrality with weighty but very smooth bass.
BEST SPEAKERS OVER $3,000Bowers & Wilkins802D
We think this behemoth of a speaker is still king of the castle of full-sized speakers. Sure, you need the dollars behind you to bring this king home, but rest assured, it is worth the cash. These speakers have been awarded by SmartHouse many times over, and the reason is that they continue to stand out in terms of sheer audiophile performance.

Houston >Arts & Entertainment > Saint Dane's Bar & Grille
502 Elgin St, Houston, TX | Directions 7700629.743899 -95.381247
Daily 11am-2am
Neighborhoods: Central, Neartown/ Montrose
Love this place! – I freaking love their ribeye steaks! Cant beat $10 steak Mondays! Its a pretty laid back place to hang out at and unwind with some friends. Drinks are reasonably priced and the service is great. I had really bad service once but I've forgiven them for it. Never happened again.
Best Buffalo Chicken Sandwich! – This place is across the street from my apt. so I frequent the bar occationally. I love the $3 Margaritas but my fav is the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich, I can eat this delicious meal any day of the week.
Very laid back enviroment and pet friendly!!! Bring your dogs in and hang while watching the games.
Great shrimp tacos – This place really has the best shrimp tacos I have ever had. make sure the waitress gets your order right as they like to forget things sometimes. this is also a great place to watch fights on PPV.
Very nice place – The owners of this establishment deserve all the success. The Midtown scene is very competative, but Saint Dane has been able to cut through the clutter and offer a great place in the heart of the city that offers quality food and drinks at more than reasonable prices. My wife and I had the fish tacos, she had wine I had a beer. The beautiful waitress(s) were both friendly and prompt. The scene is that of white collar businessmen and women along with the typical Midtown College scene as well, though everyone is welcome. Keep up the great work ! we will see you again soon.
Citysearch Editorial Review – The open-air converted gas station off of Elgin has experienced major changes since hipster hangout Late Night Pie left the location. Now, flat-screen TVs hang on the exposed brick walls and regulars flock here on game nights for the cheap drinks, camaraderie and probably the cute waitresses, too. The outdoor picnic tables and two equally noisy rooms are comfortable enough places to order a Miller High Life and pork chops (or the famous fried Oreos) off the full food menu. Other draws include Big Ass Beer Night and the occasional beer-pong table.

look: 2.75 | smell: 3.25 | taste: 3 | feel: 1.5 | overall: 2.5
A: Poured into pint glass, hazy brown head with large bubbles finished off into a cracker-thin brown head. Body - dark, but when put up to the light you can see it is a dark, dark, tobacco brow.
S: Dark Chocolate right off the bat. Notes of coffee, and toasted malts faint scent of dried apricots/cherries.
T: Chocolate cover cherries, with a dry hop finish. Interesting
M: Perhaps the weakest part of the experience. Thin, light, effervescent with not what I was expecting. I will be honest disappointed. I wanted that thick, milky experience - this beer just did't have it.
O: Eh, I wanted to like this beer. But in the end it taste like a brown ale with cacao nibs added. I wouldn't recommend this, especially four the price.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 2.75 | feel: 3 | overall: 2.5
Tasted 16 February 2013.
Pours black in the glass, deep brown at the edges. Half-finger of pale tan head, relaxes to a thin ring around the surface, and a touch of lacing.
Smell is a light milk stout topped with woody cacao and coffee. It's thin; fortunately the lactose adds some body and smoothness. A touch of smoke leaks in from the dark roast. But mostly it's bottom and top, and hollow in the middle. Lacking body, oomph, robustness.
Taste is thin, a bit flat, and dominated by a char bitterness and wood. I get very little milk or chocolate, which is disappointing. This beer isn't terrible, but I'd have a hard time calling it good.
Mouthfeel is fine. It's a low-ABV stout, so it's not super surprising that it's thin. But the milky feel isn't there, and it's even thinner than I'd expect. Carbonation is fine.
Nothing impressive about this one. As I said above, it's not terrible. But I'm not loving it.

650 mL bottle poured into a snifter.
Appearance - Despite thr description, it is not black as the night. Deep brown. Collar of foam and a single tentacle of foam.
Smell - Really chocolatey. Impressive milk chocolate aroma. Slight peanut butter aroma.
Taste - Less impressive, but still decent. Milk chocolate. Less intense. Not much else going on. Not a lot of lactose, which I like. Still has a bit of peanut butter to it.
Mouthfeel - Very light and thin. Medium carbonation.
Overall - Nice chocolate. Maybe I had this beer too late in the tasting, but I don't get a lot else out of it.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.5
I had high hopes for this beer coming in. I love a good milk stout, and chocolate is the perfect pairing for that profile. It's a local brewery that I dig, and I'd heard good things about this one in particular. Maybe my expectations were too high, but I do feel somewhat underwhelmed.
Pours like a Dr. Pepper: deep brown bordering on black, small mocha head that disappears pretty quick, not much left behind. I was hoping for something a little thicker I guess, but this just LOOKS thin and highly carbonated.
I smell primarily the cacao, rich and creamy and enticing. There's a roasty element and a bit of that lactose sweetness. Some vanilla in the undercarriage.
Here is where my trepidation becomes more justified. It's still pretty thin, and overly carbonated for what I want in the style. You get the initial burst of sweet lactose and creamy chocolate but it is immediately superceded by the carbonation and a bitter roast/burnt char character. The vanilla peeks in at the end again. Finishes with a bitter character that seems to flow from the char aspect.
As I said... I had high hopes for this one. They were not met. It's not a BAD beer, it's just not a particularly good one.

M- thin body and high carbonation
O- a good representation of the style with copious amounts of chocolate. It could stand to have a smoother mouthfeel but tasty none the less.

lots of bitter chocolate on the nose. roasted malt and slight coffee.
although a milk stout, i picked up very little sweetness. heavy on bitter chocolate and roasted malt. not overly complex and slightly one dimensional but that is not really a bad thing. would have liked a bit more sweetness.
light body, moderate carbonation.
decent overall, good stout, easy to drink.

Pours a dark woody brown, near black, with a huge tall head. Poured into a Perennial glass, the head is just as tall as the body.
Smells like chocolate brownie batter, milk, somewhat bitter coffee. Smells wonderful.
Tastes more bitter, more of the coffee flavor. Some chocolate and milk again, but much less rich than the nose suggested. Still very good.
As others have noted, even though there's plenty of carbonation and this is very frothy, the mouthfeel is slightly thin. It's still good, just not what your expect for such an otherwise dark and rich beer
This is a really nice chocolate milk stout. I'm glad so many breweries are experimenting with this style now as I really love it.

Pours a lighter brown shade, huge billowing tan head of foam, fairly long lasting retention also. Halo of delicate lacing in the glass, looks pretty nice.
Milk chocolate aromas, some husky black malt underneath that.
Very light bodied, authentic chocolate flavors mingle with roasted malt and coffee flavors. Initial natural sweetness and lingering dry roast, clean feel. Deceptively simple, though more than the sum of its parts.
Thanks to Mark & Kathy for this one!

bomber sealed with pressure cap.
split 2 ways and poured into a pair of wine stems.
Appearance: black body with a red hue when held up to light. 2 fingers of white/creme colored head that drops down to very thin cap.
Smell: gourmet milk chocolates with a hint of cocoa and lactose/milk sugars. Hint of roasty malt. This beer really has a fantastic nose.
Taste: Mild bitter cocoa seems to dominate this beers flavor profile. Slightly chocolatey and slightly roasty.
Mouthfeel: medium bodied beer with moderate carbonation. The beer feels a little thin, but the beer is very drinkable.
Overall: Wish that this beer tasted like it smells. Its a good milk stout, but a better flavor profile and a thicker mouthfeel will make this beer very desirable and make it a beer at the top of its style.

Pours a dark black with a tan frothy head that has good initial retention but eventually settles to a nice ring with good lacing. Smell is definitely chocolate, and I could not really pick up any roasted grain or hop aromas. Taste is mainly chocolate with a slight hint of roasted coffee on the back end. This beer is definitely all malt, with no real hop character that I could discern. Carbonation is medium to low, and overall mouthfeel is medium.
Overall, I feel that this is a very good, very smooth stout, that would make an absolutely fantastic dessert beer. I would like to have a bit more roasted grain / coffee taste to compliment the chocolate and lactose, but still a very good beer overall. It would be hard for me to characterize this as a "stout" since it doesn't really have any of the flavors I normally associate with a stout, but 4 Hands Brewing is definitely on my "brewers to watch" list.

4 Hands Brewing Co. Chocolate Milk Stout
Poured into a tulip glass form a fresh growler.
Pours a very dark, near night, brown with some mahogany hues. There is a nice 1 inch head that is slightly chunky and with a light tan color. Very sticky head and the viscosity seems low. (4.0)
There is an aroma of deep dark chocolate notes; bitter dark cocoa notes are present mixed in with some slightly grassy hop notes. There is also a nice dark roast to the brew with some slight coffee notes. There is some slight caramel sweetness mixed in with the nice cocoa sweetness and deep bitterness. (3.5)
Flavor starts off similar to the nose but it's a bit thicker and richer. Nice notes of dark cocoa nibs with some nice rich fudge notes and some slight milk chocolate sweetness. There is some nice roast to the brew as well. Some mild coffee mixed in with the slight dark cocoa bitterness. There is some lactose notes with the brew that really balance the roast in the middle of the brew but the cocoa notes really shines through at the end. Very nicely done. Body is medium and rich with a nice carbonation and a slightly grassy and bitter finish. (4.5)(4.0)
Overall. Very good brew IMO. There is a nice Milk Stout backbone to this brew. Dark malt sweetness and richness with some coffee comes in. Then the nice coca nib notes are present. Very well crafted and balanced yet extremely flavorful. (4.0)

An interesting beer to have while making supper. Thanks to rudzud for giving me this to try.
Pours a dark colored fizzy 1 finger head that fades slower than I expected from the many bigger fizzy bubbles, but still a med pace, decent frothy lacing, just about pitch black beer.
Nose just erupts with cocoa and chocolate, milk chocolate and a creamy lush chocolate, cocoa nibs and a little baker's choc, even a bit fudgey, I think a hint of lactose through that, and a little doughy cookie note, bit of a chocolate chip cookie.
Taste is more of the same, lots of chocolate and cocoa, quite a creamy milk chocolate, even a little chocolate milk but not a lot as a bit of lactose comes through. Again a mild doughy cookie malt center with hint of caramel and more chocolate chip cookie, mild dry cocoa powder too. Hint of an acrid like roasty malt as well with touch of coffee. Finish is a little sweet but quite dry, lactose dry finish, with a little more lush chocolate and cocoa, mild bitterness, and that's about it.
Mouth is med bod, fairly creamy and lush, nice carb.
Overall not bad, lots of great chocolate and cookie dough, nice cocoa and lactose milk chocolate, even a hint of roasted malt too, pretty tasty and enjoyable. Thanks Matt!

Received as an extra in a trade and poured into my Duvel tulip.
A - Pours a very nice rich brown hue that is too dark to see through with a nice almost two finger light mocha head that fades slowly to leave a good creamy blanket.
S - Nice aromas of roasted malts, cocoa nibs, milk chocolate. Not too sweet but smells nice and luscious.
T - Nice rich chocolate, milk and creamy and rich. Light roast malts and good bittersweet chocolate. This would probably translate and come across a little bit better if the finish was not so sharp.
M - Mouthfeel is a bit briskly carbonated for the style. I want something smooth and rich, instead this is a bit sharp.
O - Overall this is a tasty chocolate stout. Not too subtle at all this is a great balance of malts and chocolate. With the mouthfeel was not as sharp as it was more of a hindrance than anything.

Pours very dark brown, almost black with a thick head and clingy lacing.
Smells of roasted grains and slight chocolate
Tastes of roasted malts, dark bitter sweet chocolate and a slight bitter finish
A fairly high carbonation makes this seem a bit thin and gives it a bite at the finish
Overall, a really good chocolate stout, enough chocolate to know it is there, nice roasted malt character, as others have noted, the carbonation takes it down a notch.

I poured a bottle into a pint glass.
Appearance- Almost black in color with two fingers worth of tan head. Good retention with a large amount of clinging lace.
Smell- Milk chocolate and cocoa aromas with the tiniest hint of roasted malt.
Taste- More of a bittersweet chocolate flavor with touch of cocoa. Mild bitterness at the finish.
Mouthfeel- Medium bodied, smooth and creamy. An average amount of carbonation.
Overall- An enjoyable stout. Good chocolate flavor that is not overly sweet. I would buy this again in a pinch.

A- Pours pitch black and fairly thick. Medium, 2.5 finger head that is tan in color and retains very well. Lacing is also very good. Looks like a stout should in the glass.
S- Big notes of chocolate that are both sweet and slightly bitter hit the nose first. Somewhat dry chocolate scent towards the end of the drink. Chocolate is the only flavor coming through in this one.
T- Basically the taste version of the smell here. Big chocolate starts it out. Somewhat sweet before turning towards a little more bitter chocolate flavor. There is a small appearance of the classic dark malt flavors towards the end of the drink. Lingering chocolate flavor on the tongue after the drink.
M- Not as thick as an imperial, but still creamy because of the chocolate flavors. Rather high in carbonation gives it an odd feel combined with the creaminess. Not a bad overall feel. Lower alcohol level makes this one easier to drink than most imperials, as well as other stouts.
Overall, this is one of the better chocolate stouts out there. Goose Island's Big John is the only other chocolate stout that is comparable to this one.

Black, opaque with a nice head/lace.
Smells like loads of chocolate.
Tastes like bittersweet chocolate milk.
Smooth mouthfeel. Little bitterness on the back to balance out the chocolate.

The Book of Job and anguished attempts of Job and his comrades to understand the ways of the Creator have inspired and stimulated thinkers and philosophers for thousands of years. The ideas in this book are at the heart of the age old question: Why do bad people prosper while good people suffer?
The lofty and uplifting poetry of the Book and the stimulating ideas of its protagonists are among the most complex in the entire Talmud. Add to this the relatively small number of major commentators who elucidate the Books language and ideas. The result is a Book that is vital -- but tantalizingly sealed to all but the greatest minds.
In this work, one of the outstanding thinkers of the Torah world unlocks the treasures of Job. Rabbi Moshe Eisemann brings to this task a lifetime of immersion in the Talmud and the works of such seminal thinkers a Maharal and Ramchal. He has proven his ability to illuminate difficult texts with his classic commentaries on Yechezkel/Ezekiel and Divrei Hayamim/Chronicles. The depth of his ideas and the eloquence of his language make this new translation and commentary a landmark in the new genre of English language Torah commentary that is grounded in the teachings of the Sages.
This work on Job is unprecedented.
It will become the standard by which others are judged.

Ohio House of Representatives leaders are looking several years down the road in rejecting Gov. John Kasich's proposal to expand the Medicaid program, because they don't trust the federal government's promises.
Kasich has proposed the state go along with the federal health care law mandate that Medicaid programs be expanded by the states. In Ohio, that would add about 275,000 people to the program, which is funded jointly by state and federal governments.
The governor's analysis is that during the next three years, expanding Medicaid would be an undiluted benefit for Ohio. That is, in part, because the "Obamacare" law stipulates the entire cost of expanded state Medicaid programs will be paid by the federal government for the first three years. After that, Washington's burden would drop to 90 percent of the cost.
It has been estimated going along with the expansion actually would save Ohio taxpayers about $400 million during the upcoming two-year budget cycle.
But Kasich's fellow Republicans, who control the House, seem worried the federal government will not keep its promise.
Given Washington's history of promising allegedly economical social programs, then waiting a few years before making the true cost public, the House's concern is grounded firmly in realism.
Ohio taxpayers now pay slightly less than one-third of the cost of the existing Medicaid program. If Washington goes back on its word with the expanded system, the annual cost to Ohioans will be in the billions of dollars.
Legislators are absolutely right to worry and to reject Medicaid expansion.

Very funny. Also Brian was doing a signing of his Relationship album that had just been released. Fingers crossed he does that again, he's very sweet in person. :)
Pink Taco is good -- expect a wait though on a concert night. I'm not sure what my plans are yet for before the show.
Claudia A - is that at the pinball hall of fame and museum? I saw that online. Never been. Interesting...
For those of you from Vegas, my wife and I were thinking of getting dinner at the Pink Taco in Hard Rock. Any opinions on this establishment?

AUGUSTA — The Maine Legislature narrowly passed a $6.3 billion, two-year state budget Thursday night despite a veto threat by Gov. Paul LePage.

Lawmakers are taking up a budget proposal that earned unanimous committee approval and a veto threat from Gov. Paul LePage. (AP Photo/Robert F. Bukaty)
The final vote in the House was 102-43, just over the two-thirds majority needed to make the budget effective by July 1, the start of the next fiscal year.
The Senate's final vote, 25-10, also barely exceeded a two-thirds majority.
LePage has said he will veto the budget because it contains tax increases, even if it means shutting down state government on July 1.
Rep. Barry Hobbins, D-Saco, praised House Minority Leader Kenneth Fredette, R-Newport, for keeping most of his caucus together to support the budget, which the Legislature's Appropriations Committee endorsed unanimously last week.
"That showed his leadership abilities," Hobbins said.
Fredette said it is a "tough" budget, particularly for Republicans, because it calls for a temporary sales tax increase, from 5 percent to 5.5 percent, and an increase in the meals-and-lodging tax, from 7 percent to 8 percent. Both increases would expire at the end of the two-year budget cycle.
"It's only for fear of a government shutdown that Republicans voted for this," he said in an interview after the vote.
To put the budget in context, Republican Rep. Jeffrey Timberlake referred to his family's apple orchard in Turner, which produces 250,000 bushels a year.
To produce 6.3 billion apples would require him to raise the same number of apples for 250 years, said Timberlake, who opposed the budget. "It's a lot of money," he said.
House Republicans will come under "immense pressure" in the coming days to sustain the expected veto by LePage, said House Speaker Mark Eves, D-North Berwick, but rejection of the budget compromise would mean massive property tax increases.
"We believe they will make the right choice," he said.
To take effect on July 1, the budget must be passed as an emergency measure, which requires approval from two-thirds of the 151-member House and two-thirds of the 35-member Senate. That means 101 votes in the House and 24 in the Senate.
A veto override, on the other hand, requires approval from two-thirds of the members present in each chamber.
Critics of LePage's original budget, which he proposed in January, say it contained a significant tax increase because of a two-year suspension of municipal aid and changes to programs designed to provide property-tax relief.
In the budget approved Thursday, the increase in the sales and meals taxes would be used in part to restore $125 million in revenue sharing to cities and towns that LePage had cut. The budget also would restore $9.1 million to Maine's homestead property-tax exemption program, which LePage had proposed cutting.
While the Appropriations Committee restored most of the state money to cities and towns, its budget still represents a "huge tax increase" because it would cause cities and towns to raise property taxes, said Rep. Peter Stuckey, D-Portland.
"It's bad math and terrible public policy. This budget is balanced out of the pockets of hardworking people," said Stuckey, who voted for the budget nevertheless.
Stuckey had proposed an amendment that would have raised taxes on the wealthy to generate money for property-tax relief. The amendment failed, as did several other proposed amendments.
One Republican senator who supported the budget, Roger Katz, a former mayor of Augusta, said he's worried more about the impact on cities and towns than about the sales tax increase.
Under LePage's proposed budget, Augusta would cut services, he said, and property taxes would go up as well. "From my perspective, that is the last tax we should be raising," he said.
Sen. Patrick Flood of Winthrop, the ranking Republican on the Appropriations Committee, said the party caucuses are particularly divided this year, which made it more difficult for the committee to reach agreements on the 716-page document.
"I worked on eight of these budgets," he said during the floor debate in the Senate. "This was the hardest one."
In the House, seven Democrats and two independents voted against the budget plan.
In the Senate, the only "no" votes came from Republicans.

The big trend by look with TCCI - till now still on bulls, of course. But for today move, be aware of the bearish - I see the price try to test again to that 23.6 fib line (at 1.2195). So, of course - this could probably bearish first here till that 23.6 fib. But, for big move = this pair on still probably bulls = Once again = I see the TCCI 20day still give us a bulls pic to us.
The bulls of this pair (GBPUSD) look difficult to up = it's because price now must break that strong supply area that now appear above the current price. So, I see this will probably to just consolidation first near that supply area. but, if we see to the TCCI = the TCCI still show the bulls and we can say this pair (GBPUSD) can start bulls again after truly price can break up more that supply area near 1.5717.
I see = the bearish trend still here (USDJPY) but with weak move after price now on near that support area (77.94). With this look = I see - it's better to just wait and see - then, we can sell again here after truly price can break more down to that strong support line (77.94), of course.
USDCHF on look bulls = we see the price candle on the previous day = look like bulls pinbar = So, yes = this can product bulls max. to test again that 0.9840. So, with this look = search for Buy OP on smaller TF = better idea, I see.

1 Introduction to GNOWSYS
GNOWSYS is a specification for a generic distributed network based memory/knowledge management. Typically computer memory is managed as a tree, or as nested arrays. Our attempt in this project is to represent all forms of declarative and procedural knowledge as a network, and then develop network processing methods to create and publish knowledge as a network.
1.1 Node orientated computing
Just as the language LISP provides list oriented computing framework, we try to model the knowledge as nodes in a network. The interpretation (meaning) of a node depends on the links the node has with other nodes, and the interpretation of the other neighbouring nodes in turn depends on their network and so on. The nodes are organized and processed according to a complex data structure called the neighborhood, akin to a frame.
The network is constructed by interlinking all things to those whose interpretation is implicitly available to the computing system. Those nodes whose interpretation is known to the computing system may be called as primitive nodes since they are made available as the initial condition of the evolving semantic system. They may be also called as the factory nodes. Such nodes become the meaning mediators in the semantic system.
These primitives can be further devided into logical types and data types. The most commonly used semantic relations like "type of" and "member of" are the logical types, while the character set, numbers and other models of structured symbol sets with known interpretation are the data types. Thus the nodes in a network will be constructed with the known logical and data types.
New nodes obtain their meaning due to their relations with the primitives. That is by linking unknown symbols with known symbols GNOWSYS provides a mechanism to define new meaning from the already available meaning. The variety of possible meaning space depends entirely on the chosen primitive set of nodes.
1.2 The Structure of the Network Memory
The network construction uses the following principles:
- Everything is a node. The memory in GNOWSYS is a set of nodes with all nodes with a unique NID (Node ID). The NID with the address locator gives rise to a unique URI in the cyberspace.
- A node links with the neighborhood nodes through relations, and some predefined name and value pairs called attributes.
- Every node is described/interpreted by neighborhood, which is nothing but the set of relations and attributes a node possesses. This can be rendered as a context graph.
- A network can be obtained by merging the neighborhood of all the nodes as a graph.
- The set of all attributes and relations is the full set of knowledge represented in the network in the form of propositions.
- Each attribute or relation constitutes one RDF triple expressing one proposition.
- The representation of network memory can be completely encoded in any of the RDF notations.
1.3 The Dynamics (change management) of the Network Memory
- Insertion of new relations and attributes changes the neighborhood of the nodes concerned, and such changes can be tracked by holding the snapshots of the node's neighborhood at each instance of change.
- Being a collaborative space, the system records who did what change and at what time.
- Delinking is the preferred way of removing data elements from the network, and no node can be removed without prior removal of the links the node may have with others.
- Each Node's neighborhood at a given time becomes the state space of the node.
- Changing state of nodes can be recorded, and described as process nodes that record the prior-state and post-state of the nodes invovled.
1.4 Node types
Based on the type of attributes and relations, we can distinguish some widely repeated kind of patterns as node types for convenience. These node types can be used for managing the data of computing applications. New nodetypes can be defined as and when required, though minimalism is encouraged for ensuring generality of processing engines and maintaining parsimony. Currently GNOWSYS has the following node types:
- Type Nodes:
- Metatype
- Object Type
- Attribute Type
- Relation Type
- Process Type
- System Type
- Token Nodes
- Objects
- Systems
- Processes
- Triples
- Relations
- Attributes
- Special Derivative Nodes
- Union
- Complement
- Intersection
- Complex Expressions
- Node Specification
- Relation Specification
- Attribute Specification
- Expression
1.5 Acronym
GNOWSYS is an acronym for Gnowledge Networking and Organizing SYStem. The 'G' in GNOWSYS is pronounced hard just as the 'G' in GNU.
2 Features Implemented:
The specification is implemented currently in Python. The current implementation used Django framework.
Older implementations were done as a product of ZOPE (Zee Object Publishing Environment), a free web application framework. These are archived, and no further development from the main team is expected.
The currently available version (bleeding-edge) of GNOWSYS is can be obtained from the git repository. No stable version is released as yet. We expect to release a stable version in August 2013.
If you want to see live implementations, please visit http://beta.metaStudio.org or http://cube.metaStudio.org.
2.1 Features of GNOWSYS:
- a distributed knowledge network.
- metadata can also be added to relations and attributes.
- all changes to the data as well as to the metadata of knowledge is tracked.
- methods are accessible to clients and other servers as web services and through XML-RPC or jsonrpc, as well as restful protocol.
- can be used as an RDF triple store, the standard SPARQL query mechanisms are in the pipeline. Exporting to RDF in any notation is currently implemented.
- define arbitrary relations and attributes. subtyping, and class membership are inbuilt. All the datatypes provided by Django are supported.
- Metatype (type of types) and relations among them can also be expressed. Useful for knowledge representation using upper ontology elements.
- Quantifiers and modalities can also be part of the persistent data (processing of the inference logic based on quantifiers and modalities is not yet implemented).
2.2 Older Implementations
The following is a list of sites developed using the bleeding edge versions. None of them reached a stage for wider deployment.
- atlas.gnowledge.org: GNOWSYS is being used for the development of Gnowledge.org, a portal where an atlas of knowledge is under construction. It's a place were teachers can create learning tracks by specifying the prerequisites for a concept or an activity. This site will be migrated to Django based implementation soon.
- SELF Platform: Self-Platform is a collaborative-teacher centric authoring system developed using GNOWSYS. It has features like a course organizer used for networking and organizing various course components, a book shelf used to share a lesson or any other course component among courses, a file manager used to store the files of a user, a SCORM import/export module using which the user can import any SCORM file as a course into the system as well as export the courses on the platform, an internal linking mechanism used to create internal links among components. This implementation uses the older ZOPE framework. Both development and maintenance of this application stopped. We are looking forward for interested people to migrate SELF platform to the new Django implementation.
- gnome-gnowser: Gnowser is a gnome desktop application developed using pyGTK, Graphviz, Cairo and it acts as a GUI for GNOWSYS. The documentation for GNOWSER is available at gnowledge lab. The current version uses Zope implementation. This project needs to be migrated to the new Django based server.
- gnowsys-mode: "gnowsys-mode" is an Emacs extension package as a major mode for knowledge networking and organization using GNOWSYS. It is a pure text based interface for the collaborative authoring using a centralized GNOWSYS server. The current version uses Zope implementation. This project needs to be migrated to the new Django based server.
2.3 Possible Applications
Consider using GNOWSYS if you want a distributed database, your data model is evolving (not yet frozen), you are a semantic web engineer and wants to develop an ontology, or publish several ontologies in one networked memory, you want a distributed triple store with frame and graph based views, if you are doing structured content management application, etc.
You may use GNOWSYS:
- As a web based hybrid database (as a file system, RDBMS, OODBMS, distributed DBMS) with querying and remote management. This ability will make it highly suitable for agent oriented computing solutions across the Internet.
- For building structured knowledge bases with a higher degree of expressiveness. This will help build AI based applications using GNOWSYS as a database. (GNOWSYS has no inbuilt inference engine (Ongoing work). However it is possible through the SPARQL endpoint provided by 4store.
- For semantic web. All data stored can be exported as RDF (N3 notation completed), and can be imported from RDF (Ongoing work).
- Since GNOWSYS database is available as a web-server, dynamic web sites and web services can be made. Web sites built with GNOWSYS are "semantic web ready", for the structure of the data can be queried by software agents. Normal dynamic web sites conceal the database structure, while GNOWSYS sites do not.
- Any web framework can make use of the data stored in the GNOWSYS knowledge base though XML-RPC/jsonrpc.
- As a digital encyclopedia, thesaurus, dictionary or glossaries can be made very easily.
- For building elearning applications. Lessons and concepts (learning resources) can be organized according to the standard metadata suggested by LOM/SCORM models. Learning paths, evaluation tracks, usage history etc. can be persistantly stored and accessed by establishing networking relations and conditions among them. SELF Platform is implemented using GNOWSYS.
- For building community portals, egovernment solutions, or any such applications that require the special features outlined above.
2.4 User Interface
The current implementation uses Django-framework to expose the construction and publishing methods of knowledge networks.

5 Google Summer of Code Participation
GNOWSYS project is participating in the GSoC for the last four years starting 2007. As a part of the scholarship, Rakesh Pandit did a prototype implementation of version control for GNOWSYS in 2007. Divya developed a graphical user interface for managing GNOWSYS using PyGTK called gnome-gnowser in 2008. Divya in 2009, developed an emacs mode called GNOWSYS-mode for working with knwoledge networks as a major mode by extending the features of orgmode.
6 Google Summer of Code 2012 Ideas
- Synchronization of Data between gnowsys servers: Two or more remote servers of GNOWSYS exchange messages between them, subscribe to parts of database and establish sync relationships (subscription). Automatic agent based synchronization should happen between the servers. This involves, determining the changes, messaging the changes to subscribed servers, and initiating transfer mechanisms using RDF based data exchange. Good understanding of serialization of data, XML, RDF, and file transfer protocols, agent oriented services with good working knowledge in Python required.
- Collaborative Concept Mapping Activity in Sugar with GNOWSYS as storage: A pyGTK based extension of the gnowser project to do refined concept mapping. Based on the codebase of Labyrinth Activity in Sugar, we intend to develop a full featured collaborative concept mapping application using GNOWSYS as a storage. The application is required to have three modes: mindMap-mode, conceptMap-mode and conceptMap-mode-with-storage-gnowsys. Python and pyGTK are prerequisites for doing this project. Please discuss the projects in the firstname.lastname@example.com mailing list if necessary. If students come with their own ideas, please write about them in the mailing list.
