rloyd // August 17, 2010 6:15:06 AM UTC
Yeah its me again. If you don't think skynyrd is totally bad ass just listen to one song on this album. Its the song "on the hunt" Written by ronnie, and the rythum and lead and vocals, Perfect. Where was this song? Should have sored to no 1 easy. Nothing can match the solid playing and vocals of this down home southern bad ass song as "on the hunt". Thank you from the bottom of my heart skynyrd for continuing to produce exceptional albums like vicious cycle! well done jonnie well done man you took the raines from your brother and still put heart felt skynyrd songs down. I was there right after skynyrd returned after the terrible crash. Mobile Alabama my home town. the fairgrounds. Who was on the ticket? rossington collins, jonnie vanzant band, and blackfoot. I was so happy they were back i threw my leather hat up on stage and rickey from blackfoot put it on his head. Special moment for me. they might not have been altogether again, but you could just see jonnie eventually steppin in for lead vocals .The rest is history and still making that old skynyrd sound we were all used to. Special thanks to jonnie I can't imagine how much pressure you were under following your brother. You resurrected skynyrd and ran with it . GOD BLESS YOU JONNIE, GARY, RICKEY, BILLY, RONNIE, STEVE, CASSIE, AND THE REST! keep on rockin that southern rock and roll!!! ALWAYS ALWAYS IN MY HEART!!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone,
This is just a quick update on some things you should have seen in the last week and what's coming up next here -
1. We pushed performance to a P1 issue last week, and I hope you all have seen a major improvement there. I was getting load times >30 seconds and I know you were too. We are continuing to look for places to improve.
2. Points were fixed yesterday and should continue to work as before.
3. We're testing a few things in stage for the next patch. I don't expect we'll get everything in, but I think direct messaging and read tracking are possible. More on that as we get closer.
4. We're changing the default view back to flat from threaded. Threaded is a performance hit, anyone will be able to choose threaded if they prefer it.
5. Code formatting - it's a bug in the platform itself and we've requested they up the priority on a fix.
6. Recent Activity widgets - I'm sure you've noticed the empty ones all over the place. I'm going to start pulling them out and moving subspace links into that area this week. Basically the blank ones are due to how we designed the old forums, and what served as nodes that you would pass through as a category are now spaces with no content. I'm trying to figure out a longer term fix for that, but for now I'll pull those empty widgets out.
Thank you for the fixes.
Hemant K Chitale
2. Points were fixed yesterday and should continue to work as before.
Thanks, I really didn't think I deserved my temporary Guru status
I think the forum editor requires a lot more attention that just fixing syntax highlighting. Unfortunately I used <pre> tags instead of {code} tags in many code examples, and pretty much all is screwed up after the forum upgrade. I tried to re-edit a few posts, but it usually turns out to be very time consuming and I cannot be bothered. The editor is very unreliable and I already lost hours of work. It cannot be used for anything with advanced formatting or extended editing sessions without risking to be logged out and loosing all content.
Unfortunately I have not found any HTML editor that would allow me to fully exchange HTML documents with the forum. The biggest issue for me is the incompatibility of paragraph and line endings between the forum and standard HTML. I already reported the issue:BUG: Forum uses HTML <p> instead of <br> tags.
Btw, the view as pdf option has improved, but it still needs improvement. For instance when using documents like GUIDE: Oracle VM VirtualBox and Oracle Linux NIC bonding. Try to view it as pdf, and it should be obvious what I mean.
Trying to get the text cursor back when inserting a link, code and tables is another very annoying problem.
Regd the editor - as per Sonya
Code formatting - it's a bug in the platform itself and we've requested they up the priority on a fix.
Hi sonyabarry
regarding points fixed " 2. Points were fixed yesterday and should continue to work as before. "
i am dropped to 'Explorer' from 'Journeyer'. is it fine or something is not rite ?
just asking...
When might be closer to the next patch?
I think the next official one is Sept, but I think they are going to try to sneak a thing or two in over the next week or two. Bunch of testing going on right now.
It is correct now, and should be consistent going forward.
Sneaky fixes
Sneaky breaks
Well, we're doing as much testing as possible to avoid the second issue now.

About the bladder and bladder cancer
The bladder is an expandable, hollow organ in the pelvis that stores urine (the body's liquid waste) before it leaves the body during urination. The urinary tract is made up of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra and is lined with a layer of cells called the urothelium. This layer of cells is separated from the muscularis propria (bladder muscles) by the lamina propria (a thin, fibrous band).
Bladder cancer begins when normal cells in the bladder lining, most commonly urothelial cells, change and grow uncontrollably, forming a mass called a tumor. A tumor can be benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous, meaning is can spread to other parts of the body).
Types of bladder cancer
First, the type of bladder cancer depends on the type of cell where the cancer begins:
Urothelial carcinoma. Urothelial carcinoma accounts for about 90% of all bladder cancers and begins in the urothelium. Urothelial carcinoma is the common term for this type of bladder cancer. It was previously called transitional cell carcinoma or TCC.
Squamous cell carcinoma. This type accounts for about 4% of all bladder cancers and starts in squamous cells, which are thin, flat cells that form part of the bladder lining.
Adenocarcinoma. This type accounts for about 2% of all bladder cancers and begins in glandular cells.
There are other, less common cell types that can develop into bladder cancer, including sarcoma (which begins in the fat or muscle layers of the bladder) and small cell anaplastic cancer (a rare type of bladder cancer that is likely to spread to other parts of the body).
In addition to its cell type, bladder cancer may be described as noninvasive, non-muscle-invasive, or muscle-invasive.
Noninvasive. This type of bladder cancer usually does not extend through the lamina propria, while both types of invasive cancer can extend through the lamina propria. Noninvasive cancer may also be called superficial cancer, although that term is being used less often because it may incorrectly imply that this type of cancer is not serious. Noninvasive bladder cancer is less likely to spread and can often be managed with surgery to remove tumors and chemotherapy placed in the bladder (see Treatment).
Non-muscle-invasive. Non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer typically grows only into the lamina propria. It is called invasive, but it is not the deeply invasive type that can spread to the muscle layer.
Muscle-invasive. Muscle-invasive bladder cancer spreads into the bladder's muscularis propria and sometimes to the fatty layers or surrounding tissue outside the muscle.
It is important to note that both noninvasive and non-muscle-invasive bladder cancers have the possibility of spreading into the bladder muscle or to other parts of the body. Additionally, all cell types of bladder cancer can metastasize (spread) beyond the bladder. If the tumor has spread into the surrounding organs (the uterus and vagina in women, the prostate in men, and/or nearby muscles), it is called locally advanced disease. Bladder cancer also often spreads to the lymph nodes in the pelvis. If it has spread into the liver, bones, lungs, lymph nodes outside the pelvis, or other parts of the body, the cancer is called metastatic disease. This will be outlined more in Staging.

2008 winner of the $500,000 Lemelson-MIT Prize
DeSimone was born in Norristown, Pa. His mother is an accountant, and his father is a tailor who emigrated from Italy. They are both inquisitive and meticulous DeSimone acquired these attributes from them. In 1986, he received his B.S. in chemistry from Ursinus College in Collegeville, Pa., a small liberal-arts college that was the only school on the east coast to offer a polymer chemistry course. Im a firm believer in a liberal arts education, and especially using that education as a bridge to go into the applied sciences and engineering area, said DeSimone.
His exposure to polymer science led him to pursue a Ph.D. in chemistry from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg, Va. At the age of 25, DeSimone joined the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) as an assistant professor in chemistry and launched the universitys polymer program with his mentor Dr. Edward Samulski. He resides there today as the Chancellors Eminent Professor of Chemistry at UNC, in addition to serving as the William R. Kenan, Jr. Distinguished Professor of Chemical Engineering at North Carolina State University.
Among DeSimones notable inventions is an environmentally friendly manufacturing process that relies on supercritical carbon dioxide instead of water and bio-persistent surfactants (detergents) for the creation of fluoropolymers or high-performance plastics, such as Teflon®. More recently, he worked on a team to design a polymer-based, fully bioabsorbable, drug-eluting stent, which helps keep a blocked blood vessel open after a balloon-angioplasty and is absorbed by the body within 18 months.
DeSimones newest invention is PRINT® (Particle Replication in Non-wetting Templates) technology, used to manufacture nanocarriers in medicine. At present, DeSimones Lab is vested in a variety of projects that also extend beyond medicine, including potential applications for more efficient solar cells and morphable robots. In 2004, DeSimone co-founded Liquidia Technologies with a team of researchers from UNC to make the technology available in the market. Liquidia is using the PRINT technology to develop precisely engineered nanocarriers for highly targeted delivery of biological and small molecule therapeutics to treat cancer and other diseases. DeSimones proposed applications for cancer treatment with the PRINT platform was instrumental in UNC landing a grant of $24 million from the National Cancer Institute to establish the Carolina Center for Cancer Nanotechnology Excellence.
You can do all the innovating you want in the laboratory, but if you cant get it out of the university walls you do no one any good, said DeSimone. He instills an entrepreneurial spirit in his students that focuses on the importance of commercializing technology and scientific inventions. One of DeSimones greatest accomplishments is his mentorship of more than 45 postdoctoral research associates, 52 Ph.D. candidates, six M.S. theses and 21 undergraduate researchers. Furthermore, he speaks to groups of high school students about the inventive process and encourages them to learn and explore areas that are less familiar to them to broaden their exposure to other disciplines.
A prolific inventor, DeSimone holds more than 115 issued patents with more than 70 new patent applications pending, and he has published more than 240 peer-reviewed scientific articles. In 2005, at the young age of 41, DeSimone was elected into both the National Academy of Engineering and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, a high honor in the academic community. DeSimone has received numerous awards and recognition, including the Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award (1997), the Engineering Excellence Award by DuPont (2002), and the American Chemical Society Award for Creative Invention (2005).

My kids were all late crawlers and didn't crawl until they were almost a year old! When did your baby start to crawl? -- Chris, Strongmoms Facilitator
Hazel rolled over for the first time at 3 1/2 months, crawled around 5 months, started pulling her self up at 6 months, took her first step at 7 months, and was fully walking steadily on her own at 9 months, running (like a butterfly flies) at 10 months, climbing at 12 months... I have had my hands full with this one haha
My baby is about 9 1/2 months old and just now able to hold herself up on her hands an knees. She can scoot but not quite crawl. Trust me each day that goes by, there are more and more items I can no longer leave lying around because she travels and gets a hold of them. It's now time to baby proof the house.
Each kiddo follows their own trajectory in regard to developmental milestones-so long as they are within a range of time it is just fine. It sounds like both your kiddos fit right within that time range. Great news!
That's the crazy part of being a parent! We are excited to see them crawl, walk, ride a bike and hit all these milestones until they crawl or walk around a corner out of sight and we freak out!
3 out of 5 of my children did not crawl until they were a year old! It was nuts, but it was kinda nice not having to chase after them until they were a little older!
Both of mine became crawlers around 5 to 6 months of age. I kind of like the idea of a late crawler - I was running around like mad!
My son crawled a "low crawl" at 6 months and then crawled with his belly off the floor at 8 months. He didn't crawl long though, he started to cruise around the same time and preferred that. He started walking by himself the day after his birthday.
MommyRN4 your post made me smile. We all want out kiddos to reach those milestones, but sometimes we need to slow down and just appreciate where they are at!

corked caged 750ml bottle
Some of the other reviews stated no brett. My bottle was a little dusty so maybe the brett came out more. Well the type of brett.
Color much darker than I expected. Dark amber.
Nose was malty. Very malty, but I got some cherry pie normal for a type of brett. Not the horse sweat brett at all.
Taste.. well it was a surprise. More hops than I thought for that cherry pie nose. A slightly bitter bite. Not to abnormal for saison though. No flavor or aroma from the hops.
I got some small amounts of sour from the brett. It made me think this beer was made to age and mix with a sour.
Mouth feel. Well like I said It made me think this beer was made to age and mix with a sour.
Over all. I was nice to get the cherry pie brett nose and sourness. It would be a good beer to brew to mix with a lacto and pedie ale to make a good flanders red, brown or the type. Enjoyed the beer very much. Great buy if you like malt and cherry pie.

750mL into a Hennepin glass. Pours a clear amber w/ a 1-finger head that leaves behind some fine lace. Moderate carbonation.
Aroma is spicy, earthy, and floral. Some wet hay. Typical Belgian saison character.
Taste is a little more complex than the nose. A blend of pale and sweet caramel malts, along with some spice and fruit. More floral notes; warm, bready yeast. No hint of alcohol.
Mouthfeel is smooth and slick, very drinkable. Crisp clean finish.
Overall a really nice saison from De Proef. There are more traditional versions of the style, but this one gives it a unique twist.

750 ml bottle into tulip glass, no bottle dating. Pours very hazy very dark reddish brown color with a small 1 finger foamy off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Decent spotty lacing clings on the glass. The cork hardly popped when I opened it, probably pushing 4 years or more in age. Aromas of caramel, toffee, molasses, prune, raisin, toast, pepper, earth, and big phenolic yeast esters. Aromas aren't very pleasant at all; very stale and unbalanced feeling. Taste of caramel, toffee, molasses, prune, toast, biscuit, raisin, earth, herbal, grass, and light yeast spiciness. Lingering notes of caramel, molasses, toffee, toast, biscuit, dark fruits, herbal, earth, and light yeast spices on the finish for a good bit. Pretty good flavor balance and complexity; but it feels more like a Belgian dark ale than a saison. Flavors were not as robust as I was expecting; no cloying sweetness. Medium carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a fairly creamy and slick mouthfeel that is good. Alcohol is very well hidden with pretty much no warming noticed at all after the finish. Overall this is a pretty solid dark Belgian saison. The aromas were pretty bad, but the taste turned out alright. Fairly enjoyable, if only they dated these bottles.

Poured from a 750mL bottle into a Tripel Karmeliet tulip. No bottle date as far as I can see. Beer seems interesting from the description, but like it should work...brett to finish a saison, not too out there.
A: Cloudy amber hue, head has medium size bubbles, off white color. Lacing is great, retention is also pretty good.
S: Incredibly fruity, definitely some brett character in the nose. Smells a little like Pez candy (in a good way).
T: Kind of a light tasting Belgian amber with extra fruitiness from the brett and a more aggressive bitterness. Not what I was expecting, but tasty.
M: Nice and dry for a beer of this gravity.
O: It is a unique version of the style, unlike any beer that I can remember. Reminds me of a mild dubbel they dried out further with brett. Good stuff (but I forgot the price).

S: Earthy with some bread, a touch of yeast, almond paste and maybe some cola nut.
T: Big malty flavors with distinct notes of earth and bread and some alcohol peeking out. Subdued peppery hops and some hints of lemon on the finish. Not a bad beer at all but probably not one I'd go for again.

750ml bottle into an Old Engine Oil snifter. Thanks to vonschplieffen for sharing.
A: Hazy deep amber body with a dense tan head. Ok retention, spotty lace. Not bad looking, but way too dark for the style.
S: Sweet candied fruit and not much else. Caramel apple, some plum, and a bit of grassiness. Not that good for a Saison. A Tripel, maybe, but never a Saison.
T: Follows the nose - super sweet, fruity, and sugary. Nothing but candy. Meh.
M: Medium body, moderate amount of creamy carbonation. Great.
O: This was a disappointment, as it was WAY too sweet for the style, and the Brett really didn't add much of anything. It was mediocre for a sweet beer, and decidedly underwhelming for a Saison.

Saison Imperiale - Belgian Farmhouse Ale
De Proefbrouwerij (bvba Andelot)
Pours a dirty gold bordering on light tan. Decent amount of froth forms and recedes fairly quickly. In the nose, Belgian yeast esters, mild fruity notes, brett, and some earthy/musty farmhouse aromas as well. In the taste, tempered fruit notes (fig, pear, plum) as well as a little brett funk but not really tart or sour. Caramel, toffee, even banana flavors emerge. A beer full of nice complexities that make this beer a sipper. Soft woody hop bitterness, and just a hint of alcohol. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied, semi-dry, and a clean finish. Overall, a really nice effort, a perfect night cap.

Poured orange/brown into a small stange glass. White, fluffy foam rounds on top, above the rim of the glass and sticks around with delicate lacing decorating the walls.
Very light farmhouse funk with some pear and apple esters also present. It's a light, refreshing aroma.
Delicious. The Brett is immediately present and a variety of light colored fruits are bouncing around. A delicious aftertaste of bubblegum lingers.
Effervescent and light bodied. Anything more would hide the complexities of this farmhouse ale.
I really liked this. I've heard a lot about these bubblegum flavors that are created by a lot of Belgian yeast strains, but this is the first time I've been able to track it down interdependently.

The Saison Imperiale is a Belgian style beer with a brownish color and citrus aroma. The head is a creamy color. There is moderate head retention. The appearance reminds me of a British brown ale. There is a malt aroma coupled with citrus. The taste is balanced between bitter and sweet with a slightly more sweet finish. There is no lingering aftertaste. The mouth feel is moderately carbonated with strong alcoholic heat. The Saison is one of the more interesting Belgian style beers I have yet to try.

A: a very hazy caramel hue. much darker than most saisons. billowing off-white head.
S: the aroma begins horsey. definitely get the Brett aspect. following the tart, a moderate amount of caramel and fruity smells. pears and apples.
T: im really enjoying this funk. very unique to this bottle. not overpowering, but certainly present. the palate then moves to a big malts. chewy toasted caramel and toffee. more fruit. figs. plums.
M: great carbonation. perfectly dont bottle carbonation here that makes for just the right amount of fizz. medium/full body.
D: really neat saison here. very different. the funk as well as the additional dark malts really makes this brew unique.

Poured a clearish red-brown w/ 2 finger offwhite head that died real slow and left lace ring as it descended. A great mix of that Belgianesque aroma of yeast and orange, as well as some citric fruit/floral hops, a touch of sourness (or funk) and I'm getting a rather good amount of sweet caramel malts. The beer passes my tongue smooth, even slightly creamy, a bit chewier than a regular saison as there is some bready type malt in here. I still get that yeast/wheat twang with helps the beer go down easy and has some residual sweetness. Also picking up tart, citric fruit flavors mixed w/ touches of cherry/sour fruit and some dark fruit as well. The sweetness is there as there is a nice chunk of caramel and sugary sweet malts. The the spices and hops come together (w/ just a touch of the alcohol) for a dry, crisp finish that complements the rather sturdy and complex finish. To me, maybe closer to a Belgain dark ale than your typical saison as the malts and hop bite are stronger, but nonetheless a great beer.

A- Hazed amber body with moderate sized off white head. Light lacing.
A- Caramel malts and some light dark fruit aromas. Quite pleasant, occasional belgian + cinnamon spiciness.
T- Caramel malt up front, with a belgian spiciness following. When the beer was cooler I got phenolic flavors, as it warmed they seemed to go away. Raisins, dates, and molasses.
M- Medium-full body that coats the mouth. Moderate carbonation.
D- Quite enjoyable. The smell I initially got was amazing.

Autumn bronze gold color with a massive crown of dark beige foam that never moves. Impressive. Lacing is a lather of leftover sticky foam that coats the glass thickly.
Soft but alluringly complex nose with some dark earthy spices, fruits, and grasses. Quite musty as well with some rum raisin bread, a touch of dirty wood, all spice, and a pinch of cinnamon.
Taste is of paled breadyness and light fruity tang of dark malts. Some raisin and dates softly display a bit of dark tangyness. Caramel and molasses seep in as just a nudge of some the earthy grasses and spice tinge towards the finish as it stays mostly sweeter throughout. A bit drab overall on the taste and a bit muddled. However I do like it, but the complexity I found in the nose wasn't as prevalently showcased as I would like on the taste.
Body is a fluffy sweet medium with some malty tangyness creating a soft and smooth roundness with just a touch of grass and spice along the edges to make it interesting. Reminds more of a bakery with its bready flow and cookie spices as it goes along.
A OK to good Saison that's more on the malty side, which I tend to favor in this style.

A - Ruddy amber with a finger of thick white foam. Some yeast floaties are present.
S - Smells heavily spiced; cinnamon and the like. Still an undercurrent of yeast and a touch of saison funk.
T - Not quite as spiced as the smell would lead you to believe, but the cinnamon/nutmeg combo is coming through here and is really brought forward by the caramel malts. Not too much like a traditional saison, but some of that farmhouse flavor does come through. Also some citrus and other fruits; pear, grape etc.
M - Medium bodied and fairly high in carbonation; luckily this one doesn't cloy or the spices might be too much.
O - I like this beer; that being said, it really is unlike any saison I've come across. I guess the intensity is the whole 'imperial' part of the equation. Personally, I would desire this beer on a cooler evening where the warming alcohol and spices could comfort better.

ruby red and brownish hue's make this a little bit out of the norm from a typical Saison. Great lacing
mostly malt, not a ton of yeast which I was expecting. Hoping for some more funk. a little bit of plum and some dark fruits in the nose which are pleasant. not overpowering like a belgian Dubbel. crazy fruityness going on...not sure what kind at all but seems more like the tropical type. Really nice.
Similar to the smell. Somewhat subdued in the taste department, malt, caramel, dark fruits, tropical fruit.
mouthfeel -
low to medium mouthfell with low carbonation.
overall -
Interesting belgian beer. Hard to think of it as a Saison, but it's definitely a tasty beverage. Something just doesn't really work in this one. Maybe it's too fruity, or not yeasty enough. It's just ok.

Picked up a bottle while out in Orange Co, as I don't recall seeing it much in Philly.
Poured into a snifter with a fat, frothy off-white head over a chill-hazed amber body, with a touch of carbonation flowing up the middle.
Aromas are wild - lots of guava and mango fruit sweetness, cinnamon, and oatmeal in the finish.
Flavors carry through the aromas, but seem more leaning toward watermelon in the fruity profile. Lots of dull spices, biscuit, bubble gum, and just a touch of orange citrus.
Mouthfeel is rich, but lacking in carbonation for the style.
This is clearly not a traditional saison - as advertised, it is "a truly unique saison experience."

look: 3.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4
Appearance: Not much of a looker. Cloudy dark amber brown glass manages to hold a film thin head and a collar of tan foam.
Smell: Wow. Bubblegum, banana, juicy fruit. A Belgain yeast note and some background dark fruit. Close to a 5 here, really great smell.
Taste: Much of the smell is in the flavor,with a sour cherry finish that goes just a hint tart and funky. The banana is there, the bubblegum drops off a bit. A slight cola sweetness, a bit of gummi bear.
Mouthfeel: Medium light body goes a bit thin in the finish. Low carbonation is very noticable. Very slick and oily in the mouth after a swallow, takes two or three tries to really get it all.
Overall: Not what I was expecting at all, and I'm very happily surprised. Going to try to grab another one of these.

Pours a hazy yellowish amber brown, with a one finger head. The darkest saison I have ever seen, but the label on the bottle warned of such a color.
Smells tart for a saison. Almost a sticky sweet toffee, fruity esters.
This is the lovechild of a saison and a quad. The first sip took me by surprise and I was mildly turned off, but the following sips grew on me quick. Dark fruits sweet, balanced by a lambic tartness.
A brave and interesting brew. A great twist on the style.

Appearance: Pours a murky amber color with a couple of head fingers; leaves a nice pattern of lace behind, too
Smell: Expecting a Saison, I am picking up an Old Ale, with caramel and a range of fruity esters; there is a bit of funk, but it is very subtle
Taste: Plenty of caramel and fruit, up front, with pear, apple and cherry elements; by mid-palate, however, the Saison spice arrives to add a vaguely herbacious angle, though very subtle; after the swallow, the caramel lingers while the herbal and fruity elements combine to add contrast
Mouthfeel: Medium to full body with moderate carbonation
Overall: An Imperialized Saison??? Well, I can't say the style does anything for me; interesting, but many things are off here, ranging from the overwhelming taste of caramel to the heavy mouthfeel; everything I love in Saisons is missing from this brew; glad I tried it but not something I would seek out again

A: Amber to golden amber in color with a hazy clarity, and this one is topped with a nice mother of pearl colored sea foam head. Good head retention and spiderweb lacing. Looks pretty great.
S: Lemon and black peppercorn come to mind as well as coriander and hints of clove and subtle floral note. I can't help but wright that i get a dried raspberry component to this as well. Smells really nice actually, I would have expected more barnyard. a white sugar cane note floats in there too.
T: Spicy and complex. Soft flavors overall, this is an elegant beer. Citrus zest like bitterness meets earthy spicy flavors. Subtle brett funky spice is the key to this one I think. No barnyard just spice. Overall a bit to sweet in this department for my particular taste though.
M: Prickly
O: Pretty good stuff though It could just as well read Saison sans Imperial on the label. If your into spice driven saison this is worthwhile.

Pours a murky copper with amber hues and a light tan head that starts foamy and scatters as it dissipates to a voluminous lacing.
This saison possesses a unique aroma immediately exuding the yeasts that are traditional to such a beer. Beneath the yeast lays certain sweetness, perhaps a touch sugary, perhaps a bit fruity or zesty like citrus, maybe even plum. There is also certainly some clove spice in here as well.
The flavor somewhat mirrors the aroma with the same yeasts, but also pepper like spice, as well as both dark and citrus fruits. It is also quite earthy and increasingly sour as it warms.
Medium to light in body with generous carbonation while remaining both crisp and assertive, and also just a hint puckering and a hint spicy.
This is fantastic beer, I am really impressed. The unique combination of aromas and flavors really leave you craving the next sip. A must try.

750ml into a tulip. Pours a unique shade for a saison, a raspberry copper, creamy dense head, nice lacing.
Aroma is sweet and fruity, perhaps I'm imagining but raspberries here as well, maybe not but fruit loops definitely and a multitude of quiet spices. Some hay but no real funk.
Raspberries again in the taste. Begins with a hint of a lambic, suddenly stops to have a mild saison middle then ends with just a hint of tart. Very little bitter, just slightly dry. Medium bodied mouthfeel. Sweet tiny tart fruity aftertaste.
Interesting arrangement of flavors but weak as a saison. This needs some serious whacks with a brett stick.

Poured into a MJ tasting glass.
Pours a hazy, reddish orange color with a huge light tan, yeasty head. Head drops after a few minutes leaving big chunky lacing.
Aroma of sweet malt, figs. No real hop aroma.
First sip is of a cross between a flandres red and a saison. A touch of watered down sourness, barnyard funk, dark fruits, with a slightly bitter finish. Good level of carbonation, but no carbonic bite.
Mouthfeel is a little thin, almost watery. Slight prickle from the carbonation.
Overall good drinkability. Not my favorite example of the style. A little too sweet, although the sweet and sour mix is a nice touch.

Business faculty research focuses on forest products industry
March 8, 2013Many businesses have sought ways to achieve competitive advantages during the "great recession." New research by one of Northland College's business faculty members suggests specific actions that can help companies combat a number of challenges. Though geared specifically toward forest products industries, this research is relevant to other sectors as well. The Forest Products Journal (FPJ) recently published research by lead author and Northland College faculty member Rajat Panwar that explores how forest products companies can prepare for and predict economic downturns.
"Companies should not exclusively rely upon outside economists," said Panwar. "The recession does not hit every company at the same time so companies should have an in-house capability that could tell them when an economic recession is coming and when is the threshold for when it will start affecting them."
Panwar is the Chapple Chair of Business and Social Responsibility at Northland College. His article published in the FPJ, "Gaining Competitive Advantage in the New Normal," presents research that may have implications for the forest products industry in northwestern Wisconsin. According to the article, forest products markets experienced the worst downturn in recent years since the first oil crisis in the 1970s. Panwar's research focuses on the business cycles and offers insight into what companies should be doing when a recession hits.
"When faced with a recession, companies can take two types of actions: defensive and offensive actions. The best results belonged to companies that focused on operational efficiency while continuing to invest in buying assets and market development. Other alternatives did not provide comparable results. In fact, companies that laid off employees faced the worst results." Panwar said, "When the recession was over, production was way worse."
Panwar's analysis is based on a number of studies that used data collected during the last three recessions. His findings suggest that companies will gain more from an adaptive leadership style to help their employees adjust during a recession. His research explores whether businesses may benefit from "share the pain" programs that ask employees to work fewer hours to save jobs during an economic downturn.
"This is not just a philanthropic act. This is a fundamental change in the culture of how we view ourselves within an organization," said Panwar.
His research also indicates that continuous improvements in manufacturing and support system technologies will allow companies to better adapt to market changes.
Panwar presented on this topic as a keynote speaker at the 2012 Division 5 International Union of Forest Research Organizations Conference on Forest Products in Lisbon, Portugal. He is one of the eminent sources on corporate social responsibility and strategic management in the forest products industry. Panwar has written many papers on these topics, including for the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Panwar is also the editor of the "Journal of Forest Products Business Research" - a publication of the Forest Products Society.
The FPJ is also a publication of the Forest Products Society, an international nonprofit association that provides information on the forest products industry. The FPJ is respected among peers in the forestry sector for its peer-reviewed findings on the state of wood science, technology and issues of importance in the international forest products industry.

An Osterman Research report recently conducted a survey of 760 individuals addressing the bring-your-own-device, or BYOD, issues facing their organizations and found widespread use of third-party, cloud-based storage and file synchronization offerings that are sometimes used with IT's blessing, but more often not. Dropbox, for example, is used in 14 percent of 1,000-plus-employee organizations with IT's blessing—and, conversely, in 44 percent of them without approval.
So enterprises need to look for a system that combines easy-to-use file sharing and synchronization services with enterprise-class security controls. eWEEK with the help of Jon Pincus, senior vice president of products at Accellion, a provider of enterprise-class secure file sharing solutions, brings together 10 best practices on this topic.

Tasted Jun 7, 2008
Wow!!! This is one hell of a Sour/Lambic. Shared a decanter of this 5 year old Horse with Urbain, Peter, Phil, and Joe at the Struise Farm. Pours into the glass as an orange/hazy color with hardly any head. This is where fun begins; the aroma was fruity and vinous with a hint of cherry, along with a light hint of wood. Flavor is a light cherry goodness, while remaining lightly vinous, lightly acidic, along with a light hint of wood; an exceptionally complex brew. The balance of this stunning sour and intermixing of sweet and sour flavors, with an underlying hint of cherry is just superb! Perfectly smooth light body and juicy funk to balance the sourness. Absolutely a world class beer and one that I would love to try again; words can't do this brew justice! Thanks Urbain for this rare treat.

Review from notes. Bottle 94 of 100, vintage 1983 unblended generously shared by Trey and Dan 3-26-11. Thank you gentlemen!
L - Brilliant clear copper that looks to suck in light and then let it back out. As I gaze into my swirling glass, strokes of alcohol glide around, hoping to give way to aroma and flavor.
S - Apple and apple cider vinegar immediately jump out of the glass, followed by sweet yet faint maraschino cherries. Deep clover honey happily joins the party, with seemingly long strands of dark raw sugar that pulls the entire package into one. The subtlety of funk and acetic acid interact with a simple, light wooden cask to bring the aroma together.
T - Delicate apple skin and cider meets with a sherry and light oak up front. Dark clover honey and light molasses make the flavors pop. Perfect bland of acetic acid, the restraint really is majestic and the gentle funk, touch of mineral, and green vegetal flavors finish the structure perfectly.
M - Essentially imperceptible carbonation makes the smooth liquid just break over the tongue. Glides like a blanket of satin into my throat.
O - Truly a thing of beauty for something this old! I am thrilled and thankful to have drunk this masterful homebrew (twice).

notes from 1/12/2013
90/10 blend consumed from a de struise tulip glass.
poured a murky maroon almost brown with a thin foamy head that hung out for a bit. smelled rahter musty and fruity at the same time. apples and old berries...tastes pretty great. tart fruit with must. like overripe berries with must and age. tart. really nice lambic, but this is no don quijote. the mustiness is fairly heavy all around this beer. it is very good for a beer that has some 30 year old beer blended in there and it is extremely drinkable and had some really nice fairly bright fruity flavoring as well.

Review from notes, sample from an auction bottle opened at Ebeneezer's summer 2010, thanks for the opportunity Chris!
Pours a lightly hazed light red color with a smallish pink and white head that dissipates quickly. Smells of cherry pie, leather, funk, a bit of lemon and raspberry with a hint of acetic. The flavor is tart with a nice fruity edge to it. Lemons cherries and raspberries meld nicely with a hint of vinegar some leather, oak, and funk. Medium body with a light level of carbonation and a tart puckering mouthfeel. Very nice kriek, it seems to have held up very nicely.

Cherry pie like aroma; cherry, vanilla, caramel, slight funk, apple and grape. Lots going on in the nose. The flavor is mirrored by the aroma; sweet cherry and fruit notes with some overarching funk to it. Not as funky or sour as I would have expected. Balanced. Overall, am I impressed by this? Yes and no. Yes in terms of how this has held up and the overall experience of getting to drink this. No in the fact that if this was a "new" beer I would have been a little let down. Some carbonation would have been nice. Medium mouthfeel. I find myself saying that I could drink this all day.

1983 unblended from a vial filled from a growler from Ebenezer's. Shared by Romulux. Never thought a single drop of this beer would pass over my tongue, but the little bit that did was amazing and left me wanting more.
A - Dirty reddish-orange with no head. This may be due to the small amount we had access to.
S - Vinegar and cherries.
T - The cherries are still there and taste great with a wonderful lemony/acidic finish. Not as much funk as described by others.
M - Nice dry mouthfeel.
O - The little bit I had lives up to the hype. Left me wanting more. So great. Big thanks to Romulux for sharing this rare treat.

1983 Unblended on Tap pouring at Copenhagen Beer Celebration like boss. Beautiful hazy purple pour with pink foam. Impressive webby lacing. Nose is sharper raspberry. Taste is seedy raspberry, grapefruit peel, big lactic acid, citric acid, zippy all the way. Quenching palate. No acetic. No sweet cherry. Could even be framboise. Excellent. Rich cherries come in and out and provide some amazing complexity- sweet and sour playoff. Amazing. Couldn't believe this was on tap for hundreds of people. Manna from the gods! 5/12/2012 8/5/8/5/16=4.2
750mL Auction bottle 20/250 courtesy of Urbain. This was of course the beer I looked forward to the most during our sour epic. But this was very disappointing. It pours a beautiful dark pink with a small, white/light pink head. Aroma is stellar: it is probably the best kriek/sour nose I have ever encountered: it is full of cherry pie, wet oak, soft leather, tannic acid, horsey Brett. Very soft nose and refined. Taste is a little bit sweet, slightly medicinal, full of sweet cherries, sour raspberries, and light vinegar/acetic acid. But overall is light-bodied, a bit thin, and not too acidic/tart. 6/8/2010 10/4/7/3/14=3.8

Wow. Big thanks to bsuedekum for getting this and sharing!
100% 1983 version
A - pours rustic reddish orange without a head
S - tons of tarts cherries intermingle with a layer of funk; lemony citric lambic is in the mix, along with a little bit of musty blanket and a touch of BO
T - starts off with a boat load of cherries as to be expected. I am surprised just how well the cherries have held up given the age of this beer. The cherries yield to a little bit of sour lambic notes. Ends with a blanket of funk and oddly enough a little bit of grain malt.
M - medium smooth decent carbonation
D - can't believe I had a chance to try this one! Held up fantastically over the years. It's sour, but not Cantillon sour, and the cherries still shine. Thanks again for saving some Blake!

Woahh, 1983 unblended Dirty Horse, wuddup? Thank you Ebenezer's. Poured from a keg to a sampling glass.
Pours maroon, no head, some flecks. A small white ring is formed with some agitation. Fine considering the age.
Nice scent, big cherries and lemon juice.
Taste brings on pretty intense cherry+lemon sourness, some musty basement funk but it's mostly fruity. Some red grapes/red wine presence there as well. Quite fruity+bright considering the age, impressive.
Good mouthfeel, surprisingly lively and drinkable for the age+ABV.
Happy to finally bite the bullet and try this - though it's not quite world-changing, it's very good and you'd probably never guess it was nearly 30 years old.

1983, Unblended. like a boss
A - A moderately cloudy garnet body with no head (surprise, surprise).
S - Tart cherries, light vinegar, black pepper, barnyard, gym socks, woody notes. It's a good array of things.
T - An almost spicy tart cherry flavor is up front, with a strong wood presence throughout. There's a touch of salinity, an acetone-like dryness and heat (esp. on the finish).
M - Dry and smooth.
O - I mean...this is a 30-year old lambic, poured from a keg, into a glass, then into a 1.5 ounce vial, and then into another glass at a rather hefty price tag. It's really good, and quite complex (but I haven't though this much about other beers in a while, so it's complexity might not be out of the ordinary). I like it, I'd drink it again.

1983 Unblended Version
Not a bad looking brownish red and definitely hazy. Basically no head except for a tiny ring around edge that is now gone. The musty aroma is there, but the cherry still comes through pretty strong with some barrel. Flavor is slightly sour at first, followed by the cherry and then I get the vinous flavors coming through. It is hanging around between sips and very enjoyable. The feel is pretty thin, but I think it's fitting. Overall very enjoyable. I am very grateful to have been able to try this legend.

1983 Unblended version.
Finally able to ride this Dirty Horse. Pours a hazy reddish/brownish color into the Cantillon sherry tasting glass. Little to no head on the pour. A nice cherry, musty, and leathery aroma wafted from my glass that I greatly enjoyed. The taste combined some sour cherries, with a slight lactic souring. Red jammy and dark fruit also present in the taste. Mouthfeel was medium to thin, very smooth and I was surprised at how the carbonation held up. Very drinkable and I was glad I tried this gem. Would like to see how the blended bottle versions are tasting right now for some comparison.

Pours a slightly clouded reddish color with little head. The nose is slightly musty with sour cherries and a big of barrel. Smell is really nice. The taste shockingly still has a solid presence of cherries. Vinous and slightly sour/funky. Very nice flavor. Age has treated this one well. The mouthfeel is light and low carb. Drinks very easy. Overall, this is a very good one to have tried. The effort at this point might be a little much to justify, but it is a really good beer.

100% Unblended 1983 keg, finally ponied up and got some this year at Ebenezers.
In small plastic sample cup. Great ruby red with some stuff floating around but not too murky. No head or lace at all.
Aroma has some musty hints like my tent after being in the basement for many months. Big cherries that are nice and sour but seem fresh somehow. Some oak and fruit peels.
Very fruity and vinous. Shows no age to me here besides a hint of cellar must. Oak, cherries, wine, grapes and some acetic as well.
Thinned out most likely from age with low carbs from the keg. Tartness builds nicely to a very good level of acidity combined with the vinegar aspect.
Not overly funky at all but it certainly shows up with some barnyard horse funk. Outstanding and impressive fruit flavors for its age.

1983 unblended 100% version On tap...
Pours a dark hazy reddish maroon. Looks like an old kreik. A touch of bubbly head that dissipates almost immediately.
Smells really nice, tons of cherry aroma with a kick of tart sourness on the nose.
Tastes very tart, a bit of funky. Very mellow while still being acidic. Amazingly not oxidized for a 29 year old beer.
Nice light carbonation, sits very nicely on the tongue. Overall, a stellar beer. Worth what it costs? Well, maybe not. But well worth the experience

Bottle shared at Blue Palms during RBSG 2012. Pours a dark berry-amber color. Tart raspberry and cherry throughout, not terribly sour but with a solid lactic presence. Funky citric, leather, brett, lots of complexity. Well deserving of its prized status.

Pours a hazed cherry red color with a small head. Nose is sweet cherry pie with a nice lactic tartness underneath. A bit of musty wood, grass, apples, and berries. The flavor is nicely tart, mostly lactic with just a hint of red wine vinegar. Musty oak along with lots of cherry flavor. A hint of red fruit (berries?), some leather, and a definite citrus zest quality. Was not expecting this to be that good, but I really enjoyed it.

From notes from July 4th 2011. Big thanks to Urbain for sharing this with us as well as purchasing a grill so we americans were able to bbq on the 4th. Offered us both the unblended '83 version as well as the unblended '05 version side by side. Score is the higher one.
We'll start with the '83. Pour is a dark copper with orange edges and thin bit of light tan head. Nose is pretty solid for how old it is. Some leather brett like notes up front with accompanying cherries. Some dusty cob webb and lactic acid notes behind. The taste has dry, dusty cobwebs with a leathery note behind. The cherries are nicely blended with some vanilla and lactic notes behind. Very faint sourness in this. The body is light and creamy with a gentle carbonation and fairly dry finish. Solid beer for the age, held up well. Flavors are a bit muted, not very bright, but well integrated and deep character. 747415.
Now the '05. Pour is dark ruby red with light pink head. Nose is dusty, dry brett, light leather, brighter tart cherry and some low pleasant acidity. Taste is well integrated cob webb funk and leathery brett blended with very tart cherry and assertive sourness. Lactic notes in back. Body is light and soft with a gentle carbonation balancing enough and a very dry finish. 848416

**Review #1200**
"THE" Chicago Crew's 3rd Annual Mega Tasting aka Epic Tres. 750ml bottle bottle brought by Alex (Masterski). 90% 1983, 10% 2005 purchased at auction some time go. Poured into Narke tulip.
A - Pours an rusty orange/yellow/brown color, white head.
S - Fruity & funky, nice tartness, musty, berries, light acidity, and oak. The balance is amazing...perfect amount of fruity & tartness. Nothing too sharp or acidic as well as nothing too sweet. Just right.
T - While the nose is really nice, the taste is even better. It's more fruit-forward then I was expecting, but in subtle nuances. It doesn't scream "fruit", but the tartness and sweetness work together to create it. I would say mostly tart berries & sour cherries, with a light jammy character. The oak helps balance the tart & sweet notes. Finish is tart fruit.
M - Light body, good carbonation, dry finish.
O - Well, I really wasn't sure what to think of this beer because I've never been totally "wowed" by Struise. This one lives up to the hype and stood tall amongst a mountain of super-rare beer that we opened on 6/23. I hope Urbain releases some more, because I want a bottle all to myself! :D
Thank you, Alex, for sharing! You're a super-generous dude!

226th Review
On-tap at the Copenhagen Beer Celebration 2012 (highlight of the event and worth the trip to Denmark alone)
Poured in a CBC taster
Enjoyed on 11/12 May 2012
Vintage: 1983 100% unblended
A: Deep cherry red (almost maroon, but not quite). Single (off-white) fingernail head fades slowly.
S: Smells of soft sour cherry, oak, and faded mixed berries. Touch of funk and must, but not terribly pronounced. Hint of lemon, spice, and vanilla fade to aged, worn leather. Definitely old, but soft earthiness makes this quite appealing. The complexity of the nose is very inviting!
T: Wow - this beer is quite deep, rounded, and complex considering its age! Loads of soft cherry tartness up-front followed by touch of lemon zest, vanilla, oak, and plum. Mixed berries follow along with soft yeast and mild spice. Sourness and funk is smooth and slightly faded, but very enjoyable nonetheless. The complexity, yet simplicity, is what makes this beer amazing and so tasty!
M: Medium body with almost no carbonation. Soft, crisp, and dry. Very smooth and easy to drink!
O: What can I say...this beer lived up to the hype for me and I thought it was absolutely stellar. I was happy to enjoy multiple pours of this each day at CBC and think the character, fullness, and depth is brilliant. I'd be curious to see how this holds up in the bottle. Superb beer that is worthy of the hype! Urbain doesn't disappoint and neither does this beer. Standing ovation!

The illusive Dirty Horse. Got a chance to try a sample of this at The Copenhagen Beer Celebration this past weekend. Cheers to Urbain and the gang for bringing this one to the festival as part of the mind-boggling thirty beer collection. For some reason I thought Urbain was going to bring the 2005 version only, so I was thrilled to see the 1983 starting at me in the face. This was definitely a highlight for many of us.
Tap into a tasting glass
100% 1983
APPEARANCE: Pours a medium sized, tight, rose-white head with great retention. Kind of a maroon or burnt umber brown, hazy, with no visible carbonation. Head eventually fades to a nice wisp that remains the whole way and leaves some nice dots of lacing down the glass. Hard to imagine that this is almost thirty years old.
SMELL: Somewhat mild at this point, but you can tell it's old. Some funky notes with some sweet fruit on the nose. Some sweet melon and lemon, but the red fruits are still there. The cherry is not the star of the show, but it blends well with the other components. Mild, yet well-integrated.
TASTE: Sweet-sour up front with funky yeast notes, lemon, citrus and some sweet melon flavors. Nice tart red fruit component with a definite cherry backbone still. More prominent than the nose had advertised. Mild yet lingering finish of tart red fruits and a touch of bitterness as well. It is obvious that this is quite old and not as bold as it probably once was, but it is very nicely balanced with just the right amount of tart sourness to work with the fruit flavors. This is quite enjoyable.
PALATE: Medium body and medium carbonation. Semi-creamy on the palate, goes down fine and finishes slightly sticky.
OVERALL: This was a real treat. Dirty Horse has aged very gracefully after almost thirty years, but you can tell it's starting to get old. Consequently, while drinking this was a wonderful experience, is was probably not as memorable and impressive a beer as it would have been years ago. That said, this was very well balanced and the flavors mellow enough to drink is mass quantities. The cherry flavors, while muted after so long, still provide a nice, tart flavor to go with the funky sourness and light bitterness. It was great to finally try this beer, and I look forward to trying the 2005 batch at some point in the future. Thanks again for bringing this one to Copenhagen gents!

I had the 1983 version on-tap at the Copenhagen Beer Celebration. I was extremely excited to get to try this rarity. Served in a tasting tulip.
Appearance: Pours a clear reddish amber color with a layer of off white head that fades to a thick ring around the pour.
Smell: Sweet caramel malt with some tart red fruit notes. I'm also getting some vinegar and a hint of cranberries.
Taste: The tartness is a bit stronger than the malt sweetness in the flavor. The vinegar and red berry notes are both here. The finish is tart but extremely smooth. There is no real bite to this beer.
Mouthfeel: Medium body with smooth carbonation and a dry finish.
Overall: Getting to try this beer was a real treat. Very smooth and I loved the level or sourness compared to the other flavors. I would love to have it again, but who knows if that will be possible.

Bottle at the DC Lambic & Sour Tasting on April 14, 2012. From Notes. 100% 1983 version.
Appearance: pour is a murky dark plum/raisin, not particularly impressive.
Smell: Heavy malt, caramel, toffee, brandy, slightly sweet with some oxidation. Not particularly sour or funky.
Taste: Similar to the smell, slightly sweet with malt, caramel, toffee, brandy, and vanilla.
Mouthfeel: a bit chewy, little-to-no carbonation
Overall: On my beer bucket list, but a bit past its prime.

Review 1001 (it's all better from here?). 100% 1983 unblended version, bottle 96 of 100. Shared by craytonic. This review is going to be a little short since BA ate my previous attempt to enter it. Thanks!!!
Pours a murky, tawny brown with minimal ruby tinges and zero head. Flavor and aroma are mild and subtle with less sour or acidity than expected. Wet earth, bready malt, sherry and tart cherry dominate. Slight oxidization but nothing out of the ordinary for something this age. Medium thick, soft chewy body with trace carbonation. This and V005 were our most anticipated beers of the tasting. This bottle of Dirty Horse was an amazing experience, but was a little past its prime and the blend is probably a safer bet at this point.

Bottle of 100% 1983 Dirty Horse courtesy of craytonic. Bottle 96/100. This beer gets me back to 100/100 on the top 100. Served in a Struise cervoise.
Pours a murky red-tawny color with no head and nothing in the way of lacing or even bubbles. Given that this beer is older than me, I'll give it some slack and go with the standard 4.
The nose brings some malt with a bit of oxidized bread and brown sugar with a touch of caramel, flowing into a nice base of cherry and earth, plus a touch of vanilla in the background. The flavor boosts the complexity level was a nice earthy cherry flavor plus heavy sherry notes. Faint oak in the background. Average duration on the palate with moderate acidity and light-medium funk.
The body is medium and a bit chewy with a bit of sherry-like creaminess. Obviously no carbonation, but this leads to a smooth, semi-acidic finish.
Overall, a beer that's obviously past its prime at this point, though still quite fantastic. I'd love to eventually try the blended version, which others have said has a bit more bite and complexity. Either way, fantastic work, and I'm glad Urbain started this experiment nearly 30 years ago.

United Methodist Women's Carbon Footprint Toolkit
What is a "carbon footprint"?
Several different chemical compounds contribute to global warming and climate change. Some, like water vapor, are important for helping to regulate the temperature of the earth and making our planet livable. However, human-induced climate change is attributed to our production of these greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone and chlorofluorocarbons. As we go about our daily lives, our actions produce these greenhouse gases directly and indirectly.
An individual's annual carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases that are attributable to our actions in one year. This "footprint" includes greenhouse gas emissions from certain types of fuels that we burn to heat our home or power a vehicle, those created from producing the goods and services that we use, from power plants that generate electricity, and from landfills where our trash gets sent, among other things. (Footprints also can be measured for businesses, nonprofits, buildings, etc.).
Why is it important to reduce my carbon footprint?
