Community Bible Study
Twenty years ago a storm came through and knocked a lot of fruit off the trees at Gross' Orchard in Bedford.
That fruit was usable, but could not be sold.
That, according to Ronnie Gross, is when they learned about the Society of St. Andrew in Big Island, and were able to coordinate the gleaning of the fruit at the Gross' Farm.
That partnership has been ongoing for the past two decades, including last week during the Commonwealth Day of Gleaning.
A piece of Bedford history is for sale.
Court Street United Methodist Church, with a dwindling congregation, closed after a final worship service on Nov. 19, 2011. There were only 10 members left. Now, the building sits empty, except for visits by Danny Thompson. Thompson, now 58, grew up in the church and has the key. He acts as the agent for the congregation.
"It's hard, it's hard," he said. "Every time I come in here, I get choked up."

'Best'-laid plans forming
Consultant analyzing uses for building
A consulting firm is working to help Henrico County officials determine the best way to utilize the former Best Products headquarters building, located at Parham Road and I-95, which the county purchased last December for $6.2 million.
The county hired the Washington, D.C. office of architecture and design firm Gensler this summer to conduct a study of the 93-acre site and county agencies that could be relocated there. The firm expects to complete its study and make recommendations by April, Henrico General Services Director Chris Winstead told the Citizen last week.
County officials jumped at the chance to acquire the site, which was vacated by Best Products in 1998 and later used by Bank of America until 2010. It features 286,000 square feet of usable office space – more than what exists at the county's western government center and annex on Parham Road.
"It's exciting for us," Winstead said of the possibilities for the building. "It's a great opportunity. The reason we exist is to serve our citizens. Whatever happens at Best Plaza, it's going to be something focused on, 'How do we better serve our citizens in the years ahead?'"
Officials from Gensler and its local partner firm, BCWH, have been interviewing and surveying officials from each county agency viewed as a potential fit for the Best site – those whose needs are limited primarily to office space – Winstead said.
After receiving Gensler's recommendation in the spring, county officials will hire an architectural firm to design the first phase of occupancy. (Officials intend to move agencies into the building in several phases rather than all at once, Winstead said.)
In addition to providing centralized space for a number of county agencies, the Best building will provide Henrico with relief from rental fees. The county currently leases about 141,000 square feet of office space at 12 different locations to house various departments, Winstead said.
"There would be a sizable reduction in the amount of leased space over time," Winstead said. "Certainly, that is an opportunity for us, and we're definitely sensitive to that. We see this as a very good opportunity to map out a plan for many, many years to come."
Freeing up office space at the county's western government center could provide opportunity for the expansion of the county's courthouse, which is quickly outgrowing its space there. For nearly a decade, county officials have discussed the need for a new courthouse, but the price tag has been estimated at more than $80 million. Without a bond referendum, no funding for such a facility expense exists.
The Best Products building was built in three phases during an eight-year period, beginning in 1977. In addition to office space, the complex includes a cafeteria, jogging trails and a softball field.
The building itself features an open floor plan, Winstead said, with an atrium that is several stories in height. The facility is in relatively good shape, he said, but a number of improvements will be necessary before county employees move in.
Officials also intend to upgrade the site to make it more energy efficient, Winstead said.

A fun, fuzzy ride
'Muppets Most Wanted' worthy of its franchise
Do Muppets sleep? It's hard to say.
They don't really eat (or breathe, as far as anyone can tell). And only occasionally do they have visible, functioning legs.
As far as anyone knows, sleeping might be off the table. And that makes it very hard to accuse the Muppets of sleepwalking through their latest feature, Muppets Most Wanted – even if that's exactly what's going on.
Jim Henson's beloved creations were back in a big way after 2011's The Muppets, with fame and fortune and even an Oscar, a first for the group ("Rainbow Connection" was nominated, yet somehow failed to collect at the '79 ceremony). > Read more.

The mount_smbfs utility is used to mount a remote SMB share locally. It is installed set-uid root, so as to allow unprivileged users to mount shares, and is present in a default installation on both the Server and Desktop versions of Mac OS X. For more information visit the following URL.
Local exploitation of a stack based buffer overflow vulnerability in Apple Inc.'s Mac OS X mount_smbfs utility could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with root privileges.
The vulnerability exists in a portion of code responsible for parsing command line arguments. When processing the -W option, which is used to specify a workgroup name, the option's argument is copied into a fixed sized stack buffer without any checks on its length. This leads to a trivially exploitable stack based buffer overflow.
Exploitation of this vulnerability results in the execution of arbitrary code with root privileges. In order to exploit this vulnerability, an attacker must have execute permission for the set-uid root mount_smbfs binary.
iDefense has confirmed the existence of this vulnerability in Mac OS X version 10.4.10, on both the Server and Desktop versions. Previous versions may also be affected.
Removing the set-uid bit from the mount_smbfs binary will prevent exploitation. However, non-root users will be unable to use the program.
Apple addressed this vulnerability within their Mac OS X 2007-009 security update. More information is available at the following URL.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned the name CVE-2007-3876 to this issue. This is a candidate for inclusion in the CVE list (http://cve.mitre.org/), which standardizes names for security problems.

I have been trying to get Geo's IPSF working on my phone, it's never had the seczone manipulated before, I've only used "good" AnySIM's but when I try and unlock now I either get a 004999 IMEI or it just doesn't unlock.
./process runs correctly with no errors. All instructions run correctly in fact. When I check the locktables both in the seczoneout file and also a norz dump they match that of written unlocked ones.
I'm performing the unlock with 03.14 purely because thats what iTunes spat out when I had to do a complete restore. I tried with 04.02 last night as well but that gave the same results. I know all the tutorials are for 04.03 but the very nature of this unlock means it should be version independent. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what could be wrong?
Just for reference, I have always reloaded the virgin seczone between attempts so it's been starting from scratch each time and still not working

Invisible Selves: The Uncanny Portraits of Jenny Morgan
By Nancy Hightower, 2012
We demand much from portraiture artiststo be true to the real while propelling us into the conceptual, to give form and shape to those aspects of ourselves which seem to escape the description of language. This is no easy task in a society where our bodies are visually spliced and diced by mirrors, camera phones, Facebook posts, or the man or woman sitting across from you in the restaurant. Such participatory surveillance constantly thrusts us into a world of objectification; we have been conditioned to define ourselves by a host of identities that never actually represent the core of who we are. Many of us perhaps feel the weight of that uncanny strangeness residing within us, that battlefield of the other and the self.
Jenny Morgan's portraits offer a visual doorway into that conceptual realm, where multiple selves are revealed through her realistic nudes. The way in which Morgan photographs her subjects brings them to a place of both objectification and agency: "My lack of direction leaves the model feeling a bit uncomfortable and vulnerable in front of my camera, especially if they have agreed to be nude. I am most drawn to the vulnerable state, where they look into the camera as if to feel connected to something." She is acutely aware of the "multiples of the individual," yet letting those multiples play on "one picture plane" allows the uncanny repetition of self to further loosen the boundaries we might wish to hold against the other. The French philosopher and literary critic Julia Kristeva extends Freud's theory of the uncanny by stating it is a an aesthetic that allows one to see the false self we have created and believed as an opposition to all that which we regard as foreign. We often define ourselves by such binaries: artist/civilian, Republican/Democrat, hipster, intellectual, aesthete, Walmart shopper, white trash. Such labels are bandied about without a second thought amid one's own "group" and yet by creating this sense of foreignness, we thus split ourselves even further into a state of objectification (Wilbur).
Influenced by artists such as Jenny Saville, Gerhard Richter, and Kaye Donachie, Morgan's expansive nudes strip her subjects of all such "markers." Instead, the viewer is left to engage with the multiplicity of selves presented in totality of the body. Morgan begins all of her paintings with a red background, and then uses layers of paint to produce more flesh-like tones, the subtleties of hair color or eyes. Her subjects look oddly at home in front of the viewer despite the gaze of longing or struggle. Take, for instance, We Are All Setting Suns (2010), where the subject of Morgan's work is her own face. One vibrantly red hand reaches up to touch her lips, as if making sure she is indeed flesh and not simply spirit. Pure black tube paint blurs a vertical line through the pupil, drawing my eye up to her dark flyaway hair. It is like she caught in an electric current, between avatar and human, the face almost ephemeral while the foregrounded hands are still in the process of metamorphosis. In Self Portrait 27 (2009), Morgan's face is sanded down into a mottled, abject space while her breasts take the forefront. There is at once both a vulnerability and indictment going on here, for how many women have felt themselves being effaced by their sexuality, as opposed to being propelled to a deeper understanding of their sensuality? The body is split into objects: breast and face. Morgan's betrayed eyes peer through the charred effect to ask us why this must be.
Her other portraits of women are equally as mesmerizing. Dissolving Contract (2008) shows only an older woman's face and shoulders. We cannot tell whether the woman is sinking back into the canvas or emerging from it, whether her mouth is open in a dying gasp or taking the first draughts of air. She is transitioning between states of the familiar and the strange (heimlich and unheimlich), and the ambiguous title does little to help us know exactly what kind of social contract is being dissolved. Will it lead her to chaos, or to being reborn? Sisterhood (2010) shows two women who could be sisters or lovers, one cradling the other's head so that her breast falls beautiful in line with the other's neck. The taller woman looks serenely at the viewer, yet on her guard. It is the younger sister whose face is slightly blurred and whose look is more uncertain. The red hands that wrap around them seem almost otherworldlyone is merely the outline of a hand. While we know they are the sisters' hands, they are strangely placed, almost as if they could at any moment pry the women away from each other. Despite such ambiguity, there is a realist consistency inherent in all of Morgan's workwhich, oddly enough, is what lends itself to the uncanny moment. The uncanny is a powerful aesthetic, but one that plays by certain rules. Kristeva argues that "Artifice neutralizes uncanniness and makes all returns of the repressed plausible, acceptable, and pleasurable" (187). The moment we move into the totality of conceptual art, we are allowed to dismiss the strangeness we encounter in the name of intellectual rigor.
Morgan's newest exhibit continues this journey into otherness as more shadow selves begin to erupt from the canvas. The face that hovers upside down over the subject in His Return (2012) presents itself almost as doppelganger, the sanded down features creating a ghostly antagonism. Will these two heads stay conjoined, and, like some circus performing act of long ago, travel around with great tales about how they share only one brain? Or will their narratives be more dreadful, for certainly that shadow self has the possibility to take over the more "real" portrait. The man looks calm, if somewhat amused at his predicament. It will be a test of wills to see who wins.
Morgan also introduces a different color palette with this seriespale yellow forms the background for Anchor (2012). While the forearms have a soft blue creeping up past the elbow, the woman's torso looks rather spotted, with color ribbons striping her arms and upper chest. She reminds me less of a vulnerable girl and more of a planet ready to whir off into distant galaxies. The yellow background and blue forearms are more muted in color, suggesting that the artist is finding a new route to take us into the genre of portraiture. This newer series definitely expands portraiture into a more conceptual encounter with the bodyit is up for us to do the work of analysis.
The uncanny serves to destabilize the "self" that we believe we own; it is that ownership, that consumerism of the self that leads us to dismiss all that we wish "not to be" as an Other we learn to hate. Kristeva reminds us that looking at realism is "[t]o discover our disturbing otherness, for that indeed is what bursts in to confront that 'demon,' that threat, that apprehension generated by the projective apparition of the other at the heart of what we persist in maintaining as a proper, solid 'us." By recognizing our uncanny strangeness we shall neither suffer from it nor enjoy it from the outside. The foreigner is within me, hence we are all foreigners. If I am a foreigner, there are no foreigners" (Kristeva 192). The beautiful nudes of Jenny Morgan resist creating identities as objects; instead, she brings in a sense of doubleness to trigger the uncanny within her work. The "demon" that Kristeva refers to then becomes only a mirage once one has acknowledged and embraced the foreigner as being an aspect of the self, when one has looked at the body in its raw totality and see it as beautiful. All those pieces that at first defined youwife, lawyer, teacher, husband, student, bankerbegin to fly away like pieces of charred skin. Thus Morgan sets her audience on a rather daunting journey when they step into the gallery. Instead of pedantic realist portraits, she has built a wall of mirrors. Forget what the nudes will show youare you really ready to be seen?

To help meet the needs of starving children around-the-world, the Religious Conference Management Association, for the second year in a row, has donated $100,000 to fight hunger.
"Unbelievable, unbelievable!" said James T. Morris, executive director of the World Food Programme. "I'm overwhelmed with the generosity of RCMA. These funds will feed 3,000 children for an entire school year. We are so profoundly grateful to you for your ongoing support."
Noting that 18,000 children die each day from malnutrition and hunger, DeWayne S. Woodring, CMP, CEM, executive director of RCMA, said, "Our association feels a responsibility to help those less fortunate and to minister in a tangible way to meeting their needs. Through this contribution, our members and associate members can feel they have a share in this special form of ministry."
The humanitarian program to which RCMA contributes is one that provides food to the hungriest children through schools. "Instead of searching for food, or working, children receive a nutritious meal as well as an education, which contributes in the long term to the reduction of disease and poverty," said Woodring.
The World Food Programme is the United Nations' frontline agency in the fight against hunger and the largest international food aid organization in the world.

The seventh seed ran away with a first-round victory over No. 10 Faith Christian (10-5), 76-31, on Tuesday night, pairing it with the second-seeded Jacksonville Golden Eagles in the next round.
"Everybody has opinions and they have the right to their opinion," Yellow Jackets coach Tanya Peoples said. "All I know is I told the girls that we don't have a lot of respect. You get respect when you earn it and that's something we have to earn with wins. We've been competing and we've been taking steps."
The game did not start the way Oxford (6-12) would have liked, however, only leading 9-7 midway through the first quarter.
"I think (Deanna Clark) started hitting some outside shots and our transition game picked up, just picking up the flow of the game and I think we started to get into the flow."
Oxford's flow included numerous points in transition, allowing it to never lose its lead.
"We didn't want to get in transition," Faith coach Scott Shiflett said. "We wanted to slow the ball down and Oxford wouldn't let us."
With Oxford scoring points quickly, its two-point lead multiplied within minutes. A 10-2 run to end the first quarter led to a 10-0 run to start the second. By the half, the Yellow Jackets had a 44-15 lead.
"I know the scoreboard didn't show this, but most of their points were in the transition," Shiflett said. "We played really good defense when they set up in an offense. We gave up 19 points."
Looking for more respect, Oxford will have its chance to gain a substantial amount on Thursday at 7 p.m. against the only team to receive a first-place vote at the seeding meeting other than Anniston.
"We know each other very well already," People said. "They came to our place and beat us by 20-something, we went to them during the holidays and they beat us by nine.
"Sharon Osterbind is so versatile and physical. She plays so hard and is tough. They're really aggressive on the boards and play good aggressive defense."
Peoples added the first thing the Yellow Jackets need to do entering the game is believe they can win.
"(We need to) understand it's a four-quarter game and basketball is a game of runs," she said. "They're going to make their runs, it's just whether we break. You can bend, but you can't break. We just have to keep our confidence."

look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 4
Poured from a 25oz bottle into a tulip glass.
Look: rich caramel color with a thin creamy head.
Smell: malty and yeasty with hints of vanilla.
Mouthfeel: a little thin for a Wee Heavy, but pleasant with just the right amount of carbonation.
Taste: spot on for the genre. Loads of mulch and caramel and vanilla. I did not get any of the smoke that is mentioned on the label, but that was just fine by me.
Overall: a very pleasant poor. I would definitely drink it again. I know they make a barrel-aged version and I would love to try it. Perhaps that could compare to my favorite wee heavy, the backwoods bastard.

4.16/5 rDev -0.2%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.25
Year old bottle.
Look: Dark, golden pour with huge, thick (small bubbles at start), creamy, light mocha head. Has medium speed retention (small bubbles breaking down into bigger ones and then collapsing), goes down with some sticky lacing, leaves creamy, puffy top layer. The layer leaves some fine lacing when you drink it. It's clear, deep, dark amber, can barley see through.
Smell: Rich yet smooth and fresh. First association are raisins in sugary scotch. The fruity part is mostly dark fruits, white grapes, plums and some dry fruits like raisins. It creates most of the fresh part. Malt character is also very well developed - burned and brown sugar, honey, molasses, light smoke, milk chocolate and roast. Nothing spikes out, it's smooth and pleasant. Also some oak and earthy notes to play with the present alcohol, scotch notes. Alcohol/fusel is noticeable, but suits the overall complexity and is not distracting.
Taste: Medium heavy molasses, honey, caramel, chocolate start, continues the same path to full-on molasses with smoke (ash; stronger than in smell) and roast sweetness. Dark, dry fruits, raisins with scotch/rum stick around. Ends with light alcohol/stronger scotch and medium sweetness - that creates medium bitterness with light sour. Also some oak comes out in the after-taste. Lots of caramel and molasses sweetness stays on your lips when time goes on.
Mouthfeel: Full medium heavy, melting carbonation, very creamy and smooth. Light warming of the alcohol at the end, but goes with the overall concept and it should be there.
Overall: Probably one of the best examples of this style, the alcohol notes are present but get a bit annoying only in the taste (that last spike of bitterness). Smell is rich and smooth, could smell it all day, the taste is smooth enough and makes me appreciate the scotch ale style a bit more (not my favourite). The appearance and mouthfeel are superb. A bit of ageing could probably make it even smoother.

3.74/5 rDev -10.3%
look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.75
Appearance: mahogany tending towards black. Two fingers of a tan head that fade slowly and leave a lacing behind. Red hues through light and noticeable clarity through thinner sections
Smell: super malty and super sweet. Caramel and toffee and brown sugar. Some roasty to smokey malts as well. Lots of peat and earthiness.
Taste: opens up with sweet caramel, toffee and brown sugar. Next comes some roast and smoke mixing with the peat. A hint of alcohol but not much
Mouthfeel: starts of a bit creamy but ends up bitter from earthy hops, peat and smoke. Good thick mouthfeel
Overall: good big beer. Lots of sweetness but too much peat, smoke and roast for me. Also I am not the biggest fan of the bitterness.

750 ml bottle poured into a Founders snifter.
Appearance: Pours dark brown with a 1 inch light brown head. Decent lacing.
Smell: Rich caramel, toffee, molasses. Hints of smoke and peat. A bit of raisin. No alcohol presence. Complex.
Taste: Similar to the smell, with caramel/toffee, molasses, peat, and dark fruit. Quite rich. It's sweet, but with enough bittering hop presence to keep it far from cloying.
Mouthfeel: Full bodied with medium carbonation. I could probably do with a little less carbonation, but it's a minor complaint.
Overall: Exemplary wee heavy.

Taste - raisin, plum, grapes, toffee, chocolate, brown sugar
Mouthfeel - smooth, creamy, full& luscious carbonation, medium bodied, slightly sweet upfront and a bit of roastiness in the finish, not boozy at all

Poured from the 750 ml bottle into oversized snifter glasses.
Pours a nice deep dark brownish burgundy. Minimal head.
Smells very nice. Some spice, bit of cloves, lots of caramel and deep roastiness.
Taste is in line with aromas. More complex. Some raisin, some dark fruit. Perfectly balanced with malts. Where is the alcohol? This is 10% abv? Surprisingly absent from the taste profile. Something I have come to expect from Wee Heavys. This is not a knock, just something new for the style for me anyway.
Mouthfeel was nice.
Overall, this is a very nicely crafted Wee Heavy and honestly, probably the most drinkable Wee heavy I've ever had. Could have used more alcohol in the taste, but it was delicious.

look: 4.25 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25
Appearance- Pours up a huge amount of head which looks to have obnoxious, I mean, excellent retention. The head is a light to medium beige/tan while the body is a dark chestnut brown that shows a lot of burgundy and garnet when held up to the light. Substantial lacing as already been left.
Nose- Nice solid, Scotch ale aroma. Big notes of caramel and brown bread. Some toffee. Light notes of raisin and dark fruit. Some roasted notes hang in the background. Faint citrus. Swirling shows deeper notes of raisins and dark fruit. Some banana.
Taste- Takes the nose and runs with it. Big notes of caramel and toffee that are flush with raisins and dark fruit. Big, brown bread. Nice subtle smoke on the finish that gives this more complexity and adds more nuance than your average Scotch ale. Some banana, some honey, even a suggestion of coconut around the edges. Lots of complexity but still fairly smooth. There is a slight bitterness from the combination of smoke, wood, and roasted malts. No indication of alcohol which makes this a very dangerous beer. Great balance and integration. Really good beer with some flashes at being great. I imagine the barrel-aged version accomplishes this but I don't want to spend 40 dollars to find out. Some brown sugar and molasses. With the pronounced malt presence you might think that this beer would be cloying but it's way too refined for that. Some oak. Brown sugar tends toward maple syrup and the oak and smoke suggest ash, tobacco, and leather.
Mouthfeel- Between medium and heavy bodied with light carbonation. Some syrup to the texture.
Drinkability- This doesn't drink at all like a 10% beer and is definitely dangerous. Solid to almost great Scotch ale that I would have no problem purchasing again. 11-12 bucks is a little pricey but it's well worth with it.
Overall- Really good beer that has some inclinations toward being great. Very good representation of the style and a must try for fans of it. Fans of any style should enjoy it as well. It's very accessible and very easygoing. I'm glad I finally gave this a shot. I will be looking for the barrel-aged version on tap.

nice take on a scotch ale, less peaty and smoky than many out there, this is driven by malt sweetness rather than earthiness, but retains some of the quintessential characteristics of the style. dark brown amber color, dense looking, without a short lived tan head. a nose of sweet musty grain, caramel malt, brown sugar, and smoke. the taste isn't that sweet though, only a little in the finish when it warms up and the booze comes out to play a little bit. its not as full bodied as i like mine to be, but it helps this drink pretty easy. a beer that almost demands food. smoked meats, cured meats and cheeses, even bread pudding all leap out at me as foods that this beer was made for. well hidden abv for the most part too. well made bottle, a must share though at this strength and density.

Thanx jzeilinger:
Into a thistle:
A: dark brown close to brown colored body with a two finger white foamy head that dies at a nice pace; lacing is extremely light and tries to cling but spider webs and slides
S: a nice assortment of caramels, chocolates, the normal light peat that usually comes in a Scotch ale, slightly boozy
T: sweet through the previously mentioned flavors; nice boozy somewhat chocolatey aftertaste; the finish is really interesting actually, I get the sense that it wants to be dry, hmmm....but comes across slightly smooth and sweet, maybe even somewhat sticky
M: she sits about a medium in body; sessionable - not really, more of a sipper; carbonation comes across slightly smooth
O: you know what - wow, I really like this Scotch Ale, wow, the ABV seems to have died a bit in the taste and mouthfeel since its from April of 2013, but hey, I must have had it at the exact right time as there's just enough "boozy" feel for a nice Alaskan winter's night

it may not count in my rating but alesmith has a great look to their line of brews and the simplicity of their logo.
anyhoo, small sizzle with soapy craggy foam, the cap is off white and after the sizzle session it fades pretty quick but does not disappear completely, there is a nice meniscus but not much in the lacing department, legs are apparent from the ABV... but not long legs, about as deep ruby as deep ruby can get, when held up to the light a torrent of bubbles is revealed, a good
looking brew
sharp grapes mixed with malty sweetness, almost vinegar bite, spicy like bits of cinnamon floating on a gentle breeze, slight waft of the booze, pretty standard for the style
taste etc...
smooth like silk on the mouth feel side of things, really subtle carbonation that just is perfect, the use of hops here is great, it adds just enough bitterness to make this very american-ized but not so much so (ie over-hopped), the malts are real nice, they have an almost maple syrup
like quality to them except with that wee heavy bite, the ABV is well in place and not a distraction at all (dangerously so I might add), the malt flavor really pops - I think it has to do with the hops that really play well off each other, great use of the right hops here.
addictive, at first I was not blown away but damn this grows on you like VD, except good VD. Really consistent flavor, fantastic mouth feel and a kicked up ABV - what's not to love?

750 ml bottle poured into a tulip.
10% ABV, Bottled on 10/11/13, "Serve in a Goblet at 50-55°"
"Wee heavy's complex malt profile lends itself very well to a host of roasted or grilled meat and vegetable dishes. Robust cheese, salty blues, and nutty farmhouse-style cheeses also pair very well with this beer."
A - Prune-like in color, the beer is almost black in the glass but when held up to the light, hues of purple, mirroring the bottle's printing, poke through the dark copper color. Vigorously poured, the beer has a plump khaki head that slowly diminishes to leave plenty of whispy lace caked on the glass.
S - AleSmith's Wee Heavy has a subdued aroma, completely lacking in hops but soft with malt complexity; faint sweetness suggests caramel and toffee while undercurrents of dark fruit drift through and leave prune and raisin notes smeared on toasted wheat bread.
T - Like the aroma before it, the flavor of AleSmith's Wee Heavy is terribly subdued to the point of being peculiar. Smooth? Sure, but there's little going on, just like the aroma; sweetness resembling caramel and toffee hovers over the dark fruitiness but both attributes seem purposefully suppressed as the finish is clean and without any lingering character.
M - Medium bodied for a higher alcohol, malt-driven beer, Wee Heavy's sugars have been almost completely fermented out leaving a clean profile from start to finish, grazing over the tongue with slickness that finishes with next to no trace of sweetness nor bitterness; only a slightly warming touch of dry alcohol remains.
O - AleSmith has created one of the most interesting and personally conflicting beers in Wee Heavy; on one hand their ability to completely downplay the amount of alcohol this beer contains is quite incredible; it's barely even HINTED at! On the other hand, the subtle nature of the malt profile shows serious promise but, with each sip, I wonder where the flavor's run off to. Deep complexity is one thing but to have next to no stand-out flavor at all is another. I would expect some forward sweetness...at least something; all the characteristics seem to hide in the shadows unfortunately. It leaves me feeling that the only reason I might reach for this beer again would be to down something high in alcohol with little temperament; not a sugar bomb, not super bitter, just...there.

750ml bottled in June 2013 poured into a tulip.
A: Chocolate brown color bordering on black. Carbonation is not evident immediately upon pouring, but makes itself known within 30 seconds with a brilliant pillowy 1/4-inch head. Lacing is average.
S: Toffee, smoke, biscuit malt, and caramel. Very malt-forward nose with almost no hoppy notes present.
T: A very complex, yet well-balanced beer. Caramel and toffee sweetness are at the forefront with smoke and stone fruit in the background. I was surprised at the hoppiness of the beer. It's definitely not a Pale Ale, but they managed to get just enough earthy hops in there to balance out the sweet notes of the beer. Exceptionally balanced.
M: Amazing. It's definitely a heavy beer without being syrupy. It's an easy-drinking 10-percenter.
O: I'm a big fan of this beer. It's probably AleSmith's most balanced offering. It's malty and sweet without being cloyingly so. It's a high ABV beer without being syrupy. The taste profile is really complex, yet everything works in harmony. This is one seriously underrated beer. Highly recommended.

Poured from a 750 ml bottle into a Surly Darkness chalice. Bottled on 04/04/13.
Appearance: Pours a very dark brownish black with a moderate amount of bubbles. About two fingers of light tan head that slowly fade into a thin creamy layer. Leaves a decent amount of lacing around the glass.
Smell: A toasty malt driven aroma with big hints of caramel and dark fruits. Toasted malts with big hints of sweet caramel, toffee, biscuit, yeast, nuts, smoke, and some peat. Some roasty hints of chocolate as well. Sweet scent of brown sugar. Big dark fruit presence with hints of raisin, fig, prune, dark cherry, dates, and lots of juicy grapes. Subtle earthy hops in the background. A very good malty aroma.
Taste: Like the aroma, a big malty taste of sweet caramel, toasty bread, and lots of juicy dark fruits. Toasted malts with a taste of sweet caramel, toffee, biscuit, smoke, peat, nuts, and yeast along with a slight roasted chocolate note. Sweet taste of brown sugar. Lots of dark fruit taste with notes of grapes, raisin, fig, prune, dates, and dark cherry. Subtle undertones of earthy hops in the background. Slight booze taste. A very good malt driven taste.
Mouthfeel: Medium to full bodied with a moderate amount of carbonation. Creamy and very juicy. Smooth with minimal alcohol heat felt.
Overall: A very good take on a Scotch Ale. Good toasty malt and smoke flavors. Great presence of dark fruits that almost make it seem like a Dubbel.

wee heavy, my butt . . . this stuff is just plain HEAVY....
beautiful thick creamy, rich HEAD on top of a super dark brown and thick liquid. malty aroma; malty and sweet to the point of wondering if this ought to be classified as a dopplebock....what IS the difference between a wee heavy and a dopplebock, anyway?
some bitterness at the front, the sweet aroma is definitely taking a back seat to this bitter 'twang'. thick and heavy, bitter and twang-y. I guess the 10% abv is why it's so difficult to quaff down... maybe a good storage in a bourbon barrel would do it some good....
overall, it does its job. and a good job it does. it's decent, it's not terribly difficult to drink, and at 10% that's an admirable quality. but the higher abv does seem to make a difference and maybe this one can stand to make an improvement? or, maybe at a BA score of 93, it doesn't need to improve itself.... it just seems a bit 'thick' to me. but still a great finished product!

As really a Barleywine dressed in Scottish Strong Ale clothing- this heavily malted beer extends beyond the realm of anything Scottish and enters the world of cognac, brandy and Scotch whisky but in the most succulent and candied way possible.
Pouring an ominous tawny bronze color, its mysterious haze allows just enough light to pierce that its brilliant depth of colors may be explored. As a slow and deliberate rise of bubbles coat the surface, they are short lived as the slowly creep toward the edge before holding firm through the remainder of the session. With no lace in sight, the ale instead relies on its sugar laden brandy-type legging to adorn the sides of the glass.
Savory, sultry and undeniably masculine, the aromas of black-strap molasses captivates the nose immediately. Its rich and succulent scent is chocked full of chocolate, light coffee, light mesquite, vinous port, rum-soaked cherries, dates, figs, grapes and cashews. Heading into that first sip, its sweet and powerful scents are nearly as intimidating as they are rewarding.
Its incredible sweetness isn't for those that don't have a sweet tooth. Complex in taste- those deep molasses flavors are caramelly, nutty, and woodsy. Venturing past- other complexities keep building. First, there's a rich Belgian chocolate tone that joins with burnt toffee, and then reels in light Kona coffee, rich nutty taste, light campfire and cola. But then the fruity- winy flavors send the complexities into orbit! Rum-like and spicy, notes of dark, dried and pitted fruits offer up cherry, grape, figs and dates that when joined with a particular saltiness- reminds me of teriyaki.
With utmost certainty, the ale is full bodied and with a lush syurpy texture that layers on the mouth without apology. Its masculine strength offers up a warming tartness gives the texture a chewy character with a certain oily viscosity and makes it much more of a savory sipper that a quaffable drinking beer.
I have no problem with this ale being a "mere" Wee Heavy that's scaled up to Barleywine-type proportions. Forget the style. Forget the rules. Forget its origins and inspirations. One sip changes all that and demands that the beer be seen in a special light- one not meant for the mere entusiast.... but for the connoisseur!

Deep cognac coloring supported a thin layer of foam the slowly ebbed away so that the ale actually resembled cognac in the snifter.
The scent is deep with dried fruits with prune, grape/raisin, and dates. The back is chocolatey with a slightness of sweet alcohols.
Chocolate hits the palate first and then the raisin and prune flavor carries near the end. The back is soft coffee that stays on the palate without objection. Dotted throughout the taste is vague tea leaves and malt.
The 10 pct ABV is hidden rather nicely in a lower carbonated setting, making this ale a real pleasure to experience.

A - pours a deep opaque brownish black. A rigorous pour yields a froathy tan foam approximately 3 fingers worth but quickly dissipates to a thin film. Leaves a touch of spotty lacing on the glass.
S - the nose is deep and rich. Toffee, caramel and hints of butterscotch serve as a base. Notes of cherries, raisins, and plums while hints of dusty cocoa powder and wood add complexity.
T - flavors of silky caramel, whole grain toast, and hints of wood and butterscotch. A noticable yet smooth hint of booze in the center along with flavors of chocolate, raisins and cherries. More malty sweetness on the backend. Medium length finish.
M - full bodied. Creamy texture. High carbonation.
O - interesting take on a scotch ale. While it has plenty of rich malt character there are plenty of other flavors which keep it in balance.

A: Pours a dark golden slightly reddish color with a 2 finger fluffy kahki colored head. Some noticeable lacing on the glass along with some alcohol legs.
S: Some caramel, toffee, roasted malts prevailing. Some slight dark cherry wafts through the aroma as well.
T: Reminds me of a red cream soda spiked with something. Getting that rich caramel malts, with toffee back drop and some of that cherry I got off the aroma. Creamy and smooth. Getting rich malts with a hint of smokiness. Slighty bready as well.
M: Smooth, full bodied with a slight alcohol burn.
O: A fantastic beer that I highly recommend. Esp if you're a scotch ale fan as I am. This cranks the style up ten fold, creating a fuller bodied experience. The alcohol makes its presence known but isn't an ass about it.

Pours a sable brown with half an inch of dark tan head that recedes leaving moderate surface layer and moderate lacing.
Aromas of caramelized sugars, dried fruits with a hint of mineral and alcohol in the background.
Flavors follow through the aromas with a touch of bitter coffee.
Medium to heavy bodied with moderate carbonation and a sweet finish and moderate aftertaste.
Overall a very nice beer. My only complaint is that I expect a little more smoky flavor from the style. Would go very nice with some sweet BBQ.

Pours a slightly dark brown with a distinct red tinge. Head is medium-thin, but gorgeous, dense and foamy. Settles to nice bubbles with some great lacing left behind.
Sweet, roasty and nutty on the nose. Almond, hazelnut, buttery toffee. Hint of sunflower seed and honeyed cereal grain. Would have liked a bit more grounding, or oomph to take it to the next level.
Taste is a bit more substantial. Coffee notes on there, with burnt roast character, dark cherry, blood orange and toffee. Slight spice. Still very much on the sweet side which I'm generally not a fan of, but there's depth of flavour here; it's clearly well made.
Lot of texture. Body is not all there though, so it's a bit sharp at times and ends pretty dry. Not bad.
Not quite kismet with me and this beer; in the right person's glass this could be heaven but it makes me craving more spice or something to balance out that sweetness.

Poured from a capped bomber into an Alesmith tulip (picked these up at the brewery when I was there three months ago)- pours a dark brown/charcoal color with 1.5 fingers of beige head, modest retention, and nice even rings of lacing.
Nose is lovely- rich malts, dark, dried fruit notes, some smokiness. The smoke reminds me slightly of peat smoke, not the usual campfire stuff.
Taste is consistent with the nose but more fleshed out. I get some coffee and bitterness up front, followed by a plum/pomegranate flavor, then some floral hop notes and the smokiness to finish.
Mouthfeel is rich, smooth, but not too heavy. Medium full bodied with moderate to full carbonation. I'm no expert with Scotch ales, but I can't really imagine it getting any better than this. I had it on tap at the brewery, but I like it better aged three months out of a bottle. Definitely get more of the smokiness. Paired this with some sheep's cheese and they go very well together- also have a mini bread pudding as well.
Update: I got Basque Sheep's cheese but I think that a stronger sheep's cheese would go better with this.

Jay-Z Discusses No Longer Owning a Share in the Brooklyn Nets
Jay-Z rapped about his co-ownership of the Brooklyn Nets on "N-ggas In Paris," his hit single with Kanye West, and on the recently released "Open Letter."
But the music mogul had to relinquish his ownership stake in the NBA franchise now that he's launched Roc Nation Sports, a sports agency.
Roc Nation Sports signed New York Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano earlier this month and NBA rules stipulate that an owner of an NBA franchise cannot have an ownership stake in a sports agency.
"Being a member of the Nets organization surpasses some of my greatest ambitions," the Brooklynite wrote on his Life + Times blog. "It was never about an investment; it was about the NETS and Brooklyn. My job as an owner is over but as a fan it has just begun. I'm a Brooklyn Net forever."
Jay-Z goes on to thank Mikhail Prokhorov, majority owner of the Nets, among others, for helping make the Nets a first-class organization.
Ray J Seemingly Featuring Kim Kardashian Lookalike in "I Hit it First" Video
Ray J has waffled about whether or not his "I Hit It First" single is about former girlfriend Kim Kardashian.
But images don t lie.
Behind-the-scenes footage for the song's upcoming video features a pixelated image of what appears to be a Kim Kardashian lookalike on the set.
Ray J appears to be making the most of the pair's famous relationship, which included the release of a sex tape, in order to promote his new material.
In fact, Ray J also modeled the cover for the "I Hit It Single" off of a photograph of Kardashian on the beach.
The obscured image also resembles certain versions of the album cover of Kanye West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy album.
Kardashian is now pregnant with the child of West, her boyfriend.
"I Hit It First" has generated a steady stream of publicity since its recent release.
TMZ, Wendy Williams and Los Angeles radio station Power 106 DJs Big Boy and Felli Fel are among those who have discussed the song, which includes the lyrics, "She might move on to rappers and ball players, but we all know I hit it first."
Wiz Khalifa Says He Hasn't Taken His Two-Month Son out of the House Yet
Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose's son may be nearly two months old, but that doesn't mean he is out and about.
The Pittsburgh rapper told New York radio station Power 105.1 that his son Sebastian "The Bash" Taylor Thomas is always inside.
"I haven't even [taken] my son out the crib yet," Wiz told the show. "I'm like defensive. I don't want nobody to see him yet. I'm so scared cause he's so young. He's so little."
The "Remember You" rapper also told Power 105.1 s The Breakfast Club show that he was active during Rose's pregnancy.
"I went to birthing classes," he said. "It was the sickest [thing] ever. The videos [were] cool, but the pictures are graphic. I had a panic attack and almost passed out the first time."
Nonetheless, Wiz watched the baby being born.
"It was cool," he said. "It was awesome."

DMX Gets Emotional Video Plea From Iyanla Vanzant
DMX's drug addiction was among the factors that cost him his marriage and tens of millions of dollars, among other things.
Now, one of the rapper-actor's supporters is reaching out to him again in a moving video.
Spiritual healer and motivational speaker Iyanla Vanzant featured the troubled artist on her Iyanla: Fix My Life show, which aired on Oprah Winfrey's OWN Network last week.
DMX's appearance was reportedly set up in order to address his alleged addiction to women.
But it is DMX's addiction to drugs -- the Yonkers, New Yorker's crack cocaine addiction and its fallout was detailed extensively in his Behind The Music episode, which debuted in 2010 -- that has Vanzant particularly worried.
In a new video, Vanzant makes it clear that she is more worried about DMX's substance abuse issues than his other vices.
"What concerns me is what I'm hearing from your friends and family, those who love you … is that they re just waiting for the call," Vanzant says in the clip. "But I'm not waiting for that call. I'm calling on you and I'm not going to give up on you. I will not stand by and watch my brother die."
Jay-Z Among Seven Cover Subjects for Time's '100 Most Influential People in the World' Issue
People who complained about the attention Jay-Z's recent trip to Cuba received may have to reconsider their stance.
The rapper-businessman is among seven cover subjects for Time magazine's tenth-annual "100 Most Influential People In The World" issue.
On its website, Time writes of Jay-Z that his "journey from hip-hop artist to powerful entrepreneur symbolizes, according to Michael Bloomberg, the American Dream narrative."
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg wrote the special profile on Jay-Z for the issue.
Jay-Z is among the best-selling rap artists of all time and has been a successful businessman since the 1990s, excelling as a record company executive, clothing magnate, pitchman, minority owner of the Brooklyn Nets and, most recently, a sports agent, among other endeavors.
Jay-Z has been a fixture in the news in recent weeks because of his much-ballyhooed trip to Cuba with wife Beyoncé and his new song "Open Letter," which discussed the trip and President Obama s alleged reaction to it.
Tyga Says Cash Money Records Only Paid Him Once
Tyga is signed to two labels who promote big spending and operating as a family.
But the Young Money/Cash Money recording artist – who released his second Cash Money album, Hotel California , April 9 – said he's yet to get paid from the label home of Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Drake and others.
"I never got a check from Young Money or Cash Money," Tyga said during an interview April 15 on New York radio station Power 105.1.
While on the surface those comments may seemingly be the cause of bad blood between Tyga and label heads Lil Wayne and Baby, he seemed to make the comments as a statement of fact rather than with any sort of animus in his voice.
Going against his previous statement, Tyga also said, "I got a signing bonus when I first signed, but that was it."
The California rapper also said during the interview that the label pays for his videos and other things.
Tyga appeared at ease with the relationship because he said that he was never dependent on the label for his success.
"I've always treated my career like independent," he said. "Everything that I got is because of myself, my own endorsements, my own touring myself."
Common, Wyclef Jean Latest to Rework Jay-Z's "Open Letter"
Several rappers have taken Jay-Z's "Open Letter" as an open invitation to remake it as their own.
Common and Wyclef Jean are the latest to revisit Jigga's new cut.
Pitbull reworked the track Sunday; his version was "Open Letter Freestyle."
On Common's "Open Letter Pt. II," the Chicago rapper leaves Jay-Z's initial verse as-is before coming in on the second verse.
At the beginning of his verse, Common compares Jay-Z to Black Panther activist, convicted felon and fugitive Assata Shakur, whom Common says he visited in Cuba.
Shakur fled to Cuba after escaping from prison in 1979 and Jay-Z recently visited the island country with wife Beyoncé, causing a backlash that was at least partial inspiration for Jay-Z's "Open Letter."
Common also had the song "A Song For Assata" on his 2000 album, Like Water For Chocolate . The tune depicted the shootout with New Jersey police that led to Shakur's arrest and the fallout surrounding her case.
Drake Revisits Destiny's Child on "Girls Love Beyonce"
Drake often presents himself as a player in his music.
On his new "Girls Love Beyoncé" song, though, the Canadian rapper-singer revisits Destiny's Child's "Say My Name," asking the girl he's singing and rapping to to say his name in order to ensure no one else is around her.
"Girls Love Beyoncé" gets its title from the first line of Drake's lyrics, but the song is not about Beyoncé.
Indeed, "Girls Love Beyonce" is much more thematically in line with "Say My Name," a hit single from Destiny's Child's smash 1999 album, The Writing's On The Wall .
Beyonce, of course, is Destiny's Child's frontman.
"Girls Love Beyoncé" flips the perspective from female to male and features Roc Nation crooner James Fauntleroy singing the chorus.
Also unlike "Say My Name," "Girls Love Beyoncé" has a slow tempo and spare instrumentation throughout.
"Say My Name," by comparison, hits an energetic crescendo in its chorus and features dramatic vocal inflection and runs.
Pitbull Makes Pro-Cuba Song, Defends Jay-Z Over Track For Jay-Z's "Open Letter"
Pitbull is famous for his party tracks.
Now the Miami rapper is flexing his political commentary skills on "Open Letter Freestyle," his version of Jay-Z's "Open Letter."
Pitbull raps about his love for Cuba (he is of Cuban ancestry) and his hope that Cuba will be free one day, as well as Jay-Z and wife Beyoncé's recent trip to the island country.
Jay-Z's "Open Letter" was inspired, at least in part, by conservative lawmakers' uproar regarding his recent trip there.
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) is among those who have blasted Jay-Z for the trip, saying that Jay-Z should have met with oppressed people while in Cuba.
Pitbull questions politicians attacking Jay-Z on "Open Letter Freestyle."
"Question of the night: Would they have messed with Mr. Carter if he was white?" Pitbull raps.
Jay-Z's given name is Shawn Carter.
Drake Tells Media: Stop Preying on Chris Brown's Insecurities
Though their battle over Rihanna appears to be over, Drake and Chris Brown continue attacking one another in the press.
Drake appeared on East Village Radio's "Keep It Thoro" show April 12 and told host Elliott Wilson that the media should stop preying on Chris Brown's insecurities.
"His insecurities are the fact that I make better music than him, that I'm more popping than him, and that at one point in life the woman that he loves fell into my lap," Drake said Friday. "I did what a real [brother] would do and treated her with respect, so she's not up there talking down on me. All those things combined create an individual that comes up to your radio station and is going to do dumb [stuff]."
Drake and Brown both dated Rihanna, though Brown has been Rihanna's long-time, on-again, off-again boyfriend.
Drake, Brown and their respective entourages got into an altercation at a New York club in June 2012 after Drake – who was dating Rihanna at the time – allegedly taunted Brown about his being with Rihanna.

Coleman v. Maryland Court of Appeals - Post-Argument SCOTUScast
Running Time: 00:20:21
On January 11, 2012, the Supreme Court heard oral argument in Coleman v. Maryland Court of Appeals. The question before the Court is whether Congress, in passing the "self-care" provision of the Family and Medical Leave Act, validly abrogated the Eleventh Amendment sovereign immunity of states. Under the self-care provision, a state worker may sue if the state interferes with the worker's statutory right to a certain amount of leave due to a personal, debilitating health condition.
To discuss the case, we have Elizabeth Price Foley, who is a Professor at the Florida International University School of Law.
