Received in trade from MeadMe, thanks for the opportunity!
Pours a solid black with a good sized long lasting khaki head. Smells of chocolate and caramel with bits of dark pitted fruit, vanilla, oak, and bits of wood and bourbon. Smooth sweet chocolate with bits of dark fruit drizzled with vanilla and bourbon. The finish leaves a bit of bitter chocolate and roast with smokey ash on the palette that lingers long after each sip. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a sweet creamy and syrupy mouthfeel. Wow I really liked this one!

Pitch black upon the pour into the snifter glass. Two fingers of light brown head crowns the brew nicely. Looks rich and full-on.
Nice tone from the whiskey in the nose. Still has that Baltic Porter savory-like aroma. Notes of dark chocolate, dark roasty grain, vanilla liqueur, and earthy dark roast coffee layer like a cake. No imposing sweetness. Has that beery firmness.
Gonzo with a dose of whiskey barrel. This is recognizable, intense, and amazing. Whiskey has a great presence here; a little corn mash, a little buttery vanilla. The porter has transformed a bit. More of that dark chocolate with added notes of licorice, heavy roast, earthy hop bitterness, and slight seawater salinity. Alcohol swells late with a bright spiciness. Pairs well with the light hop presence in this beer. Still comes off smooth; not a big wallop of a stout. Carbonation gives the body some chew. With this body, there's a lot to chew on. Not saying that it's full-bodied, but it has some great whoosh in the mouthfeel.
An impressive and fantastic beer. I'll sit back and enjoy this treat. It's late, and I'm many beers down already, so it might take an hour or so. Recommended.

12oz Bottle labeled 11AA. Poured into a CCB Snifter.
A: Pours a very dark brown body. Aggressive pour yields a fizzy 1 finger head. Head dissipates quickly with little lacing, but settles to a nice silky rim.
S: Bourbon forward, dark figgy-like fruits, vanilla sweetness, caramel, chocolate, a strong molasses waft. As it opens up and warms, the bourbon smell fades a bit and the molasses and fig smells becomes more prominent.
T: Wow, this one is complex. The sweetness of the dark fruit and vanilla character balance and mellow out the bourbon well. At the finish, there is a ton of chocolate and oak.
M: medium-full body. Nice and creamy. Booze is hidden well. Low-moderate carbonation.
O: After a couple years in the cellar, this one has aged very well. The complexity of this is really wonderful. It definitely improved as it warmed. I love the balance of sweetness with the bourbon.

look: 4 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Presentation: 12 oz. bottle chilled and poured into a Russian River tulip glass. Bottle is labelled Vintage 11B.
Appearance: Dark brown in color. Pours a nice one finger, beige head that holds a nice thick lacing all around.
Aroma: Molasses, figs, raisans, vanilla, whiskey and cocoa powder all stand out upfront. Really unique aroma as more of the dark fruit and molasses notes stand out than in a normal barrel aged dark beer. Surprisingly nice balance of the barrel and base beer. The alcohol is certainly there but not overbearing.
Taste: Much like the aroma, big fig and dark fruit character. The barrel definitely contributes a ton of different flavors. Really nice chocolate and caramel tones round out the base beer. Whiskey, oak, and vanilla all contribute a really nice barrel character. Great improvement on the base beer. Very nice balance.
Mouthfeel: Lighter in body than an average porter. Nice, solid carbonation.
Overall, a really nice take on a barrel aged porter. A huge improvement over the base beer. Improves significantly as it warms. Really unique character from the base beer and a really solid barrel character. Really nice balance. A pleasant surprise I would definitely have again.

look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.75
Pours a near black color with brownish highlights at the edges. The creamy head is smallish and settles into a thick ring with some lacing on the glass.
The aroma is a bit faint for a whiskey barrel brew. I pick up some smooth caramel and vanilla with a hint of oak. Not much else.
The taste is of a light pumpernickle base with nice vanilla flavor and some caramel. A bit of oak and the whiskey pop through. Some roasty bitterness in the end, perhaps some dark chocolate. The whiskey doesn't really pop.
The feel is moderate with softish carbonation. Sweet on the palate and finishes with a slight bitter edge and dryness. Drinks very easy for a barrel aged brew, abv well hidden.
Falls a bit short for a barrel aged brew but it does have nice flavors and is quite easy to drink.

Barrel-aging can really work wonders, eh? The standard Gonzo Imperial porter was okay - nothing revolutionary, right, but I really enjoyed this barrel-aged version...
A: pitch black in my flute glass - decent finger of dark tan head slimmed quickly leaving but traces of lace
S: chocolatey malts and roastiness overlaid by sweet, smooth whiskey oak notes
T: a real classy drink - rich and full, bittersweet and roasty, with airs of whiskey and oak; some espresso stayed relatively subdued in the backgrund, allowing the dark malst and barrel-aging flavors to take center-stage.
M: smooth, light (for an imperial porter), mellow, great balance of bitter and sweet; great finish, too - nothing coating or sticky, just a dry, semi-sweet cocoa vibe
O: wonderful drink, highly recommended

12oz bottle poured into a large wine glass.
Pitch black with a short brown head that dissipates quickly.
Toffee, sugar and prune. Dark chocolate, raisin and a touch of blended whiskey.
Toffee, semi-sweet chocolate and cocoa nibs. Prune juice and raisin. Very sugary with touches of blended whiskey. Very light barrel character.
Medium bodied, smooth, silky and warming.
This one is very sugary sweet. Lots of toffee and prune. Again, this is very light on the barrel character. Not really worth the $8/12oz bottle.

1714th Review on BA
Bottle to Hangar 24 taster
Split with the Beer Geek Radio Guys.
App- This was a very dark brown with a dark center and a nice puffy head on it. Filled up the taster glass. Semi decent cling, but looked really nice in the glass. A good looking little taster glass.
Smell- I get the porter notes, but there is a raisiny off flavor behind this one. The aromas are a bit sweet with some of the prickly whiskey coming up to great you. Doesnt smell all that impressive really.
Taste- This just didnt go well for me. The porter notes are a bit thin and what I could day as the raisins from the aroma come in as well. The beer is just a bit better than average and dont do all that much for me.
Mouth- A bit of a lighter medium body with a lighter carbonation. Fairly bubbly and a little creamy. Residual oaky and raisin flavors.
Drink- Just kinda above average for me. Wouldnt say meh. But just okay. Not my favorite profile.

12 oz bottle poured into a snifter
A- Pours pitch black. A large lingering brown head.
S- Roasted malt. A nice bitterness and a faded hop smell. A little whiskey. Sweet and chocolatey.
T- A lot of carbonation at first. Followed up by a nice big roasted malt profile as well as a lot of chocolate notes. There is some toffee and caramel as well. The whiskey is subtle in this beer but does add another depth to it. The oak in this beer is noticable and ads a nice dryness to it.
M- High carbonation, a little too high in my opinion. A good silky feel to it otherwise. A fairly dry and roasty finish.
O- A tad disappointing but not bad. Also, no idea how old this beer is.

Vanilla, oak and booze swirl through the nose. Mouthfeel is thin to medium, right on for a porter but this looks so much like a stout that I was initially expecting more.
Taste-wise, this is a treat. The roasted flavors that are typical of a porter mesh beautifully with the barrel character. Vanilla is the dominant flavor from the barrel, but it doesn't overwhelm the other characters or the flavor of the beer itself. Well-balanced, smooth, and delicious. I'll buy this every time I see it.

A: Pours black with three fingers of brown head that fades into a thin layer with no lacing.
S: Roasted malts with semi-sweet chocolate, char, and touches of smoke. Hints of vanilla, oak, and whiskey follow, though they're pretty mellow.
T: Roasted malts with bitter chocolate and char dominate here. There is a light smokiness as well. The finish has some oak and whiskey notes along with a light alcohol burn.
M: Medium-thick body with moderately low carbonation, this beer is a little watery and boozy feeling in the mouth.
O: A decent beer overall, though not great. I'd like there to be a bit more presence from the whiskey barrels with less of an alcohol burn and a creamier body.

A-black with a pretty dark tan head
S-salty? grassy and creamy. not a strong scent. smells like a raw, strong stout really, almost menacing. overall, a let down for the nose
T-comes in with a really strong oak aged taste of dark bitter chocolate covered coffee beans. to be honest, a belgian rawness really lingers for awhile before the token cocoa and coffee come in. i'm really impressed with this. its much better than the regular version. has a nice lingering after-taste.
M-heavy carbonation with a watery finish
O-so this is amazing. and i'll tell you what i think sets it apart from other barrel aged stouts/porters. it has a certain belgian quality. it doesn't have the belgian grains, the spices, or those bubblegum sugars. it has that beglian rawness that i really enjoy from the true belgian ales. also, it has that carbonation that just fills the mouth with suds. i love that. i love this. by far, my favorite from Flying Dog.

Poured from 750ml corked brown bottle into a clear glass snifter. No freshness date but from the 2012 bottling. Purchased at WIne Warehouse (Charlottesville, VA) for $16.49.
A: Musty brown with impressive cola-like, beige 2-3 finger head that quickly receded to a thin rim of lace but only rare spots of lacing.
S: Great aroma, even 5 months after purchase. WHiskey is definitely evident with plenty of wood to go araound as well. There are nice dashes of vanilla and roast aromas to blend with the fig and rum raisin. There is still a bit of steely alcohol scent as well.
T: Really a great mix of dark malt fruit with fig, raisin, and grape flavors, molasses, mild anise, and the nicely accenting whiskey component. I wish I had been able to get two bottles to have one fresh. The oak is less flavorful but still adds some vanilla and woody qualities but more prominently provides a lot of drying. There are some woody, earthy qualities at first, maybe from the alcohol, maybe from hops, maybe from the barrel, but they recede after it sits out of the bottle for a little while. The alcohol is definitely not overbearing but there for certain, but whether it's from the whiskey barrel or the base beer is hard to say. The finish has a really nice roast aspect without the ashiness of some BA stouts -- maybe this is an advantage of BA porters? A really interesting flavored beer, I just wish it had a little more porter character.
M: Medium-bodied which was surprising for a 9.5% ABV beer. Plenty of dextrins but far from syrupy. Very active carbonation which I think could be toned down somewhat. THe drying of the oak tannins is pretty strong and give the beer a vinous finish.
O: A really nice beer from Flying Dog, and I hope they decide to keep offering this annually. It is a very unique beer on both aroma and flavor fronts at this stage. I will try my next bottle fresh though. I did enjoy this brew a lot though.

This review is a tribute to my boy Clay. They don't come any better than he does. This beer is listed as retired... he kept one for me for almost a year,. Gotta love this guy.
Thin less than finger of head. A lot of sticky lace. Deep dark brown.
Aroma is fantastic. Bourbon, wood, vanilla, sweet dark malt
Lots of wood up front,.. A bit of vanilla and some dark fruits. It's right here that you can detect the issue with the beer. THe body is a little thin for the flavor. Fades a bot too fast.
Not thin.. Not at all. bit a little too thin for the flavors included. I wish I could chew on it.
Still a very nice beer.
Clay... you DA man,...

2011 bottling consumed end of July on honeymoon
A: completely jet black, no hints of redness whatsoever. Pours about ½ fingers worth of mocha colored head, moderate lacing, big bubbles stick to the sides of the glass. Leaves a thin film after head dissipates.
S: huge huge molasses, figs and raisins, there is some creamy vanilla but not as much when I first tried this fresh. I also pick up on some chocolate notes and the obviously bourbon and oak characters.
T: again, big sweet molasses, slight toasty malt, oak and bourbon. Figs make up the dark fruit here in the taste with raisins coming up behind it. Creamy finish with a touch of bitter dark chocolate.
M: actually more on the medium bodied side than heavy in my opinion. Leaves a nice sugary, sweetness on the lips and tongue, and there is no presence of alcohol
O: thought that this one was better fresh. It had more vanilla character to it the first time that I had it, but this is still a very nice offering from Flying Dog. The components that make up this brew are nicely balanced as well. Many of the local shops sell these at a ridiculous $6-7 per 12 oz bottle, and it is simply not worth the money. I would consider it thought at $14 per 4 pack (if it was sold that way).

It's a fantastic looking beer. Dark brown color with a massive soft espresso colored head that's persistent.
Strong vanilla and wood bourbon notes with burnt malt.
The wood is overdone in the taste and drowns out anything the malt tries to contribute. It's extremely hot, even for a BA.
Mouthfeel has too much carbonation and is prickly.
Overall, an average at best BA beer and the price tag makes this a huge miss for me.

Vintage11BB. This is the "non wild dog" version. 12 Oz. bottle into a complimentary plastic hotel cup. Pours a dark brown body with a really dense mocha head. Thick lacing and retention. Smell is strong on the whiskey. Roasted malts, chocolate, toffee, dark fruits, and an oddly sweet finish. Taste is the same with some alcohol heat. Mouthfeel is medium with a coating finish. Not bad at all.

12 oz. bottle poured into goblet. Vintage 12AA.
A - Pours very dark brown with a camel colored head. The one finger of suds linger and leave a complete lacing.
S - Whiskey is apparent from the start. Lots of dark fruits sweeten the deal alongside some oak. Some red wine characteristics as well.
T - The malts are toasted and sweet. Molasses, tart cherry, and oak contribute a sweet, rich flavor. Finish is of whiskey and the first sip burns the back of my tongue. As my palate acclimates, the alcohol is less noticeable and the flavors become more intricate.
M - Carbonation is nearly perfect giving it a bubbly, but smooth feel. Medium bodied.
O - I was surprised to see that this one is now retired on BA because I just came across it this week in my local shop. The whiskey and oak flavors are prominent throughout and it drinks a bit hot. The mouthfeel is impressive. It grew on me as I drank more and I would consider paying $5 for another one, although that is a bit steep for a single.

Looked forward to this one for a while, nice pickup and share from my partner-in-crime. Thanks Dan! 4-5 oz. poured into a Kishimoto Duvel on June 20th, 2012.
A - Looks a bit more like a stout than a typical porter. Deep khaki head with quick dissipation. Decent lacing. Fair alcohol legs.
S Dark chocolate, toasted almonds and pecans, and lightly solvent whiskey-soaked oak. Robust and inviting beyond the traditional standard.
T - A bit more porter than stout here. Front end milk chocolate, middle coffee beans and cocoa. The oak and whiskey comes through at the rear with more wood character than sweetness, though there is a very light syrupy, sugar-like character.
M - Medium body, expected low to moderate carbonation, reasonable smoothness. Quite a lot of alcohol warmth after the semi-dry finish.
D - It's about as good as expected but not a bit more. I like the barrel character and it's got some panache for the style.

Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a snifter. Pours a deep, dark, inpenetrable brown, with a 1/4" tan head that slowly reduces to a thin skim of foam.
The smell is powerfully malty, with rich vanilla, cream, kahlua, maple syrup, and warm alcohol. It's so rich, just taking a sniff is like biting into a finger of tiramisu. There's no question that the barrel aging is having a huge impact upon this ale's aroma.
Boozy, the whiskey barrel aging is dominant, as if a half-shot of whiskey was dropped into this porter prior to serving. Malty and sweet, with honey, cream, bits of vanilla, and dark chocolate, there's a ton going on in this brew. So rich as to border on overwhelming, this is a slllooow sipper of a porter, more like a rich stout. Finishes with a slight bitter that's more coffee or dark chocolate than hop.
Full bodied, a true "fork and knife" mouthfeel brew. Smooth and creamy to start, the whiskey aging does begin to tire the tongue a bit as you get further into the beer, leaving it dry and almost chalky.
A real big brew, this beer in some ways is quintessentially American. Bold, complex, over the top and unapologetic, this imperial porter not only laughs disdainfully at other porter, it scoffs at most other stouts as well. It stands atop the food pyramid of porters, an alpha predator that will school other more timid ales. Pour one if you dare!

Poured from a 12oz bottle into a large snifter.
A: Pours a dark brown with a nice 2finger light mocha head. Minor retention and lacing are present.
S: Smells of roasted malts some oak is present but faint. Something else I can't put my finger on.
T: Lots of roasted malts then oak and whiskey. A tiny hint of vanilla is present as well.
M: Medium body with loads of carbonation.
O: Not what I was expecting. While the BA process is present, it's faint and doesn't seem to add anything to the porter itself. The carbonation seems over the top as well. To me the carbonation is one of the huge downfalls of this beer. It comes in super strong mid taste and drowns out everything else out.

I realised I had this review in the wrong place, this makes more sense now that I can see the bottle pic. Originally reviewed May 30th.
Poured from the bottle into a snifter glass. Vintage 11BB.
Very similar to it's on tap brother, creamy large milk chocolate brown/tan head settles nicely to a good whispy top, classic dark walnut body and hints around the edges of red. Looks real nice.
Nose is spicy milk chocolate, and yes banana. Choco banana, and even some salt.
Taste seems kind of lacking. Mild licorice, not much of a big sweetness but some residual charring and roast. Slightly silky but also some weak wetness also and a hint of fizz.
Overall I forgot I had this before (didn't), but boy that was sometime ago and getting the bottom of a keg. THis is more enjoyable slightly a bit out of the bottle, it seems to have more roast character and not as sweet as I remember.

Poured from a 12oz bottle into a brandy snifter. Looks like it's a 2011 ("VINTAGE11AA").
A: Pours an opaque black with a small tan head.
S: Whiskey dominates the nose. Big vanilla, oak, smooth liquor, a tiny bit of chocolate from the stout underneath.
T: Oaky liquor, heavy wood, very subtle vanilla tannins, a bit of chocolate in the background, raisins. Huge charred roastiness in the finish.
M: Full-bodied, fine carbonation.
O: The heaviness of the oak and roast in the flavor detracted from this beer. Looking for a little more sweetness. Good, but could have been better.

12oz bottle, split 3-ways. No bottle date but I think this is 2012. Poured this into my Boulevard tulip.
A: Pours a really deep brown/black. Really carbonated. About a finger of dark tan head. Nice alcohol feet.
S: Barrel really over takes the porter notes. It's not the normal woodiness or vanilla that I was expecting. It's just booze heat really. I don't get the chocolate or coffee porter hints.
T: I get the woodiness in the flavor though. It's a little over carbonated. Actually takes away from the flavors staying with you. The flavors don't have time to mingle on your palate at all. You get some oak and vanilla, but I wish more.
M: Medium because of the carbo.

Wowsers... I've had gonzo before but this was my first time with the barrel aged variant... they weren't kidding about it being weird turned pro... granted I wouldn't say it was weird... it was a pretty normal imperial porter... now is where it gets weird... a porter with that kind of oak whisky taste. This beer tastes and smells like whiskey... no 2 ways about it. It has an amazing reddish brown head that quickly dissipates despite bubbling out of the top of the glass. Taste is like dark chocolate and coffee beans. This beer is amazing.

When an adjustable-rate mortgage makes senseAugust 30, 2012: 5:00 AM ET
Locking in a historically low fixed rate might feel safer. But borrowers can save big on ARMs right now.
By Janice Revell, contributor
FORTUNE -- During the housing meltdown, adjustable-rate mortgages were vilified as a hallmark of irresponsible borrowing. Recently, though, they've been making a comeback, especially among affluent borrowers. This summer, for instance, Facebook (FB) CEO Mark Zuckerberg reportedly financed his home using an ARM with a rate of just 1.05%. Most borrowers can't snag a rate remotely close to that. But many would still do well to consider an ARM right now -- even if conventional wisdom says otherwise.
An adjustable-rate mortgage offers an introductory period in which you pay a lower interest rate than with a fixed loan; after that, the rate can fluctuate up or down. With rates near historic lows, the safety of locking in a fixed rate appeals to many borrowers. But they're paying a premium for that security: The spread between rates on 30-year fixed-rate mortgages and the most popular ARMs now stands at about one percentage point, more than double the difference just five years ago.
That means that homeowners who are planning to either move or pay off their mortgage over the next few years can save big with an ARM. Take, for example, a homebuyer who plans to pay down an $800,000 mortgage. Currently the rate on the fixed portion of a 5/1 ARM -- which is guaranteed for the first five years and adjustable once a year thereafter -- is around 3%. In a typical 5/1 ARM, the maximum increase during the sixth year is five percentage points above the initial rate. Alternatively, our hypothetical borrower could opt for a 30-year mortgage that locks in an annual rate of about 4%.
MORE: Mortgage applications up, mortgages not so much
Fortune asked Greg McBride, an analyst with mortgage tracker Bankrate.com, to run the numbers on both options. To be conservative, McBride assumed the worst-case scenario with the ARM -- one in which the rate shoots up to the 8% maximum in year six. Here's what would happen: For the first five years, our homebuyer's monthly payments on the ARM would be $3,373 -- or $446 less than what he'd pay under the 30-year fixed mortgage. Over that period he'd save a total of $39,000 in interest and would amass $12,000 more in equity. After the initial five years the monthly payments under the ARM would balloon to $5,490. But it's not until the seventh year of the loan that the savings garnered by the lower ARM payments during the first five years would be wiped out entirely. (This doesn't factor in the mortgage-interest tax deduction, which would be greater on the fixed-rate loan for the first few years but higher on the ARM thereafter.)
If after five years, however, the rate on the ARM increased at a more moderate pace of one percentage point a year, the initial savings wouldn't be eclipsed by the fixed rate until the 10th year of the loan. The bottom line: Unless you definitely plan to stay in your mortgage over the long term, it might pay to adjust your thinking.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"This card first caught my eye because grey was one of my wedding colors. I loved this design because it was simple and elegant. I also loved that the inside contains a picture of your choice. We had a destination wedding at Lake Crescent in Washington and I thought a picture of the lake would be beautiful and enticing to our guests. The invitation looked and felt high quality. And surprising to me, the picture came out very well for how much color it contained and how detailed of a photograph it was! This invitation was very different from any I have ever recieved. Everyone loved them!"
"I cannot fault anything. They are absolutely perfect. I ordered them on Tuesday, approved them on Thursday & they arrived on my door step on the following Tuesday all the way to Australia. I will DEFINITELY order from wedding paper divas again for future events & would highly recommend to anyone. It was such a smooth, simple process. There were a few things i wanted to change and nothing was a problem. They turned out exactly as i wanted. VERY HAPPY!!!"
"I loved this entire suite for my wedding...the initials on the front and then the complete monogram on the thank you cards was what made me love this at first, and then the ability to use a picture in the invite sealed the deal. We used our engagement photo in a soft sepia tone on the inside, and it matched the color scheme exactly. Our guests are raving about them, and we couldn't be happier!"
"I have received lots of compliments on this invitation- people keep asking me where I got them done. I did add small rhinestones on the design in the front and a mint colored ribbon for my wedding color. I didn't get any special paper or rounded corners, everything was standard, and I still loved them. Our picture wasn't perfect quality, but it's okay, it is paper after all. Delivery was fast and I was pleased with the packaging too- it doesn't come in a standard brown box- it's a white box with a nice quote in the inner flap."
"I needed My invitations fast, and I looked online, so glad I found this place! The service was just wonderful, the cards and RSVP looked stunning, the paper is a really great heavy quality . And your personal designer is here to help u with the final touches . I recomoned them to everyone I know"

Background: Persistent muscle imbalance and soft-tissue contractures can lead to progressive glenohumeral joint dysplasia in patients with brachial plexus birth palsy. The objective of the present investigation was to determine the effects of tendon transfers and open glenohumeral reduction on shoulder function and dysplasia in patients with preexisting joint deformity secondary to brachial plexus birth palsy.
Methods: Twenty-three patients with preexisting glenohumeral deformity underwent latissimus dorsi and teres major tendon transfers to the rotator cuff with concomitant musculotendinous lengthening of the pectoralis major and/or subscapularis and open glenohumeral joint reduction for the treatment of internal rotation contracture and external rotation weakness. Shoulder function was assessed with use of the modified Mallet classification system and the Active Movement Scale. Glenoid version and humeral head subluxation were quantified radiographically, and glenohumeral deformity was appropriately graded. The mean duration of clinical and radiographic follow-up was thirty-one and twenty-five months, respectively.
Results: Clinically, all patients demonstrated improved global shoulder function, with the mean aggregate Mallet score improving from 10 points preoperatively to 18 points postoperatively (p < 0.01). The mean modified Mallet score for external rotation improved from 2 to 4 (p < 0.01). Similarly, the mean Active Movement Scale score for external rotation improved from 3 to 6 (p < 0.01). The mean Mallet hand-to-spine score improved from 1 to 2 (p < 0.01). The mean Active Movement Scale score for internal rotation remained constant at 6. Radiographically, the mean glenoid version improved from -39° preoperatively to -18° postoperatively (p < 0.01). The mean percentage of the humeral head anterior to the middle of the glenoid similarly improved from 13% to 38% (p < 0.01). The mean glenohumeral deformity score improved from 3 to 2 (p < 0.01). Nineteen (83%) of the twenty-three patients demonstrated glenohumeral remodeling; one patient had progressive worsening of glenohumeral deformity.
Conclusions: Tendon transfers to the rotator cuff, combined with musculotendinous lengthenings and open reduction of the glenohumeral joint, improve global shoulder function and lead to glenohumeral joint remodeling in the majority of selected patients with mild-to-moderate preexisting glenohumeral dysplasia secondary to brachial plexus birth palsy. Future study of the long-term outcomes of these procedures will help to clarify the ultimate effect on glenohumeral joint function.
Level of Evidence: Therapeutic Level IV. See Instructions to Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
To the Editor:
The article by Waters and Bae reports their updated experience in the management of internal rotation contractures secondary to brachial plexus birth palsy. In it, they demonstrate improved glenohumeral relationships with open capsulorrhaphy. These new results contrast with those in their earlier publication in which they observed no significant improvement in glenohumeral deformity when no capsular release was performed (1).
There are several issues addressed by the authors that are inconsistent with our own experience including the suggestion that "extra-articular" procedures do not lead to significant glenohumeral remodeling. Before developing an arthroscopic approach, all the children under our care were treated with an open subscapularis slide (effectively detaching the subscapularis from its medial attachment on the ventral surface of the scapula). We reported the pre-operative arthrographic findings of 25 such cases in JBJS in 1998. 72% of the patients had significant glenohumeral deformity (2). Follow-up MRI of these children often showed extensive remodeling of the glenohumeral joint so long as external rotation was achieved at surgery and maintained at follow up (Figures 1A and 1B).
Figure 1A: arthrogram of two year old with pseudoglenoid on arthrography prior to subscapularis slide (extra-articular release, no muscle transfers). Humeral head (HH), glenoid (GL), pseudoglenoid (PsGL) and acromion (Ac). Reproduced from Pearl, M. L. and B. W. Edgerton (1998). "Glenoid deformity secondary to brachial plexus birth palsy." J Bone Joint Surg Am 80(5): 659-67, Figure 5A.
Figure 1B: Same child 3.5 years post-op showing round humeral head (HH) well centered on concave glenoid (GL).
We abandoned this surgical approach because 20% of the time we were unable to achieve an effective release without attention to the anterior capsule. Consequently, these data were never submitted for publication. For surgeons who still favor extra-articular procedures, however, it merits recognition that glenohumeral remodeling may occur so long as the contracture is effectively dealt with and the child is young enough. The surgical variable of "extra- or intra-articular" is only relevant to the extent that it does or does not allow for adequate release of the contracture.
A related concern is how the multitude of procedures presently in use for these children affects internal rotation. The authors report improvements in Hand to Spine of the Mallet scale from an average grade of 1 pre-operatively to grade 2 post-operatively and explain these improved results on the basis of their specific surgical technique. If we understand correctly how the authors are using this score, a Mallet score of 1 means that the children were not able to put their hands behind their back before surgery (on average) and the Mallet score of 2 means that they were able to do so (to the level of S1) postoperatively. The author's surgical approach apparently results in a similar amount of internal rotation as we reported for the arthroscopic approach, taken directly from our publication "The ability to reach up the back was… restricted at the time of follow-up, with the children only able to reach between the sacrum and L5 on the average" (3). The apparent discrepancy is that this is reported as an improvement in the present article but was experienced as a reduction of motion in the arthroscopic series.
These children have profound internal rotation contractures pre-operatively, sometimes availing them an extraordinary range in this direction. While some children begin with poor internal rotation, many of them can easily reach up their backs, Mallet 3 or 4 before surgery. After surgery, arthroscopic release or any other that we have tried, their weakened and diminished internal rotation leaves them on average with the ability to just put their hand on the small of their back (Mallet 2) but not always (Mallet 1). Furthermore, is it reasonable to expect a procedure that weakens the internal rotators will "improve" internal rotation, even in an otherwise normal shoulder let alone one that has paralyzed muscles and an irregular shape?
It is entirely probable that different surgical techniques are better suited to some children with varying ages, severity of contracture, and deformity, than others. It is also possible that the authors' surgical approach does not diminish internal rotation to the same extent as the arthroscopic release or other methods of treating the contracture. As presented in their current report, however, we do not see sufficient information to make this determination nor the means to differentiate patients that are perhaps better suited to one technique or another.

This article is the third in a series based on a presentation delivered at the 2007 NPRA Reliability & Maintenance Conference in Houston, TX. Here, as with the previous installments (which ran in the July 2007 and September 2007 issues of Maintenance Technology), the authors discuss how to distinguish competent pump repair operations.
Part II of this series, published in September 2007, concluded by promising specific assessment criteria for those considering entrusting their pumps to a non-OEM pump rebuilder. Referring to competent pump rebuild shops, we coined the term "CPRS."
CPRS assessment tool and matrix
The following information can be used as an assessment tool for any shop that you, as a pump user/owner, are considering for future work—as well as for those with whom you might presently be doing business.
Mergers and consolidations over the past decade or so have had a significant impact on both pump users and pump manufacturers. Given the consolidations in the pump industry and changing landscapes in terms of qualified workers/associates to effect a competent repair, it is strongly suggested that a pump user/owner use this tool and survey all the shops it is working with and/or considering working with, at least once a year. A lot of things can change—people come and go, improvements can be made or lost and financial performance pressures persist. These factors all have a direct impact on the capability of your outside repair shop.
Although this assessment tool is by no means complete, it can be the basis for assessing one's in-house pump repair shops and those of your OEM, as well as any non-OEM facilities. Routine assessments of repair shops can avoid unwanted surprises and the ensuing aftermath of a poor repair on a critical piece of equipment.
Formats and general information…
There are many formats that will allow pump users/owners to gauge or assess the competence of any repair facility. Indeed, true reliability engineering includes making an assessment of potential bidders for both new and old (or "mature") equipment [Refs. 1, 2, 3 and 4]. One such format starts with a general listing of items, names, and similar logistical and general information. It progresses to specialization reviews and obtaining answers to questions of real interest:
Then, we need to explore the shop's customer base and satisfaction information.
Just as a shop's inability or unwillingness to proved the data listed above would raise eyebrows, certain issues in Table III also should give rise to concern:
Scheduling system/visual management systems…
Next, the selection sequence should address the shop's quality assurance and quality control systems. The questions are as follows:
Documentation management…
The level of the shop's outside/procured services is of interest and must be explored.
CPRS assessment scoring matrix
Once an assessment is made, it is important for each surveyed category to be measured. Follow-up is needed to ensure that conformance criteria are met. Any categories found to be unacceptable need to be revisited and changes made to bring them up to acceptable conformance. A scoring matrix like the one shown in Table IV will help.
Needless to say, this scoring matrix can be expanded to include other items of interest. Note that the "comments" segment in it lends itself to cataloging highly detailed information.
Coming in Part IV
Next month, in the fourth and final installment of this series, the authors will present two case studies that illustrate the strengths of superior non-OEM pump repair facilities. MT

But if you're a McMinnville police officer, you can do all of these things and rest assured that the union will fight for you to keep your job, your rank, your pay, everything. McMinnville police officers are held to a completely different--and far lower--standard that the rest of the community.
If this is truly the local standard, I would be embarrassed to wear a badge that says "McMinnville."
• Assaulting a man without provocation, jail.
• Falsifying a police report, jail.
• Getting oneself into a drunken stupor and assaulting a man in a bar, jail.
• Attempting while drunk to violently break into an occupied house, jail.
• Colluding with one's spouse (also a police employee) to affect the outcome of a disciplinary action, jail.
Is it not enough, Former Officer Heidt, that you got to commit all these offenses and only paid with your job? Is it not enough that anyone else not on the city's payroll would have received jail time for the same behavior?
Former Officer Heidt and members of the local police union,should be grateful that he is not facing incarceration. Talk about looking a gift horse in the mouth.

The Rolling Stones - 50 Years
Hrvoje Horvat and Darko Glavan
Profil knjiga d.o.o.
Taking into consideration the short lifespan of a rock band, the longevity of the Rolling Stones can be counted as a miracle in an almost biblical sense. The question also arises of how many years are bands relevant through their careers? Not many, but the Rolling Stones are not the usual rock band. On July 12, 2012, the band celebrated a half-century of musical achievement (50 years since the band played its first gig at the London's Marquee Club). Regardless of the dramatic changes that have occurred along the way, with trends, technology and ideas, the group has remained consistent with its music, and has inspired countless other bands along the way, in addition to style, fashion and books. 50 years on, the band is known as one of the most commercially successful bands in musical history. The Stones has celebrated this diamond jubilee in its own way by publishing a book, a compilation and documentary, in addition to exhibitions and concerts.
The world is also catching up to mark this occasion in its own, most notably by publishing books. Among the many biographies, renowned Croatian journalists Hrvoje Horvat and Darko Glavan truly add to the portrayal of this seminal band with Rolling Stones50 godina (The Rolling Stones50 years) while being slightly different from the rest.
These days, with so much information at hand through the Internet, countless other books and articles by journalists. authors and music historians, it is dead easy to write a biography of a well-known band on a mundane level, be it the Stones or any other popular act. Horvat and Glavan may have never been near any of the band members or related sources, but that doesn't stop them from writing. On the other hand, it is difficult to deliver a unique story that adds something that has not been experienced or said. What makes this book relevant is the way these authors accentuate and describe the band's influence and how its music has been experienced in Croatia and the wider area of the Balkans, where the band has often performed.
Composer Frank Zappa once remarked that "most rock journalism is [from] people who can't write, interviewing people who can't talk, for people who can't read." That may be true for some journalists, but Glavan and Horvat can definitely write. Prior to this they co-wrote a book about the band Prljavo Kazalište Prljavo KazališteSve je Lako Kad Si Mlad (Europa Press, 2000), and each wrote other biographies separately, such as Horva's Fantom Slobode (Profil, 2004), a book about renegade Croatian artist Branimir Johnny Štulić, and Glavan's PUNKPotpuno uvredljivo negiranje klasike? (Gornji Milanovac,1980).
In its previous edition, titled Rock 'N' Roll Babylon (Šareni Dućan, 1998), The Rolling Stones50 Years consisted of two parts. The elder Glavan wrote the first, with details about the band's biography through to 1976even including original live reviews from the group' first visit to Zagreb, Croatia (then part of Yugoslavia) in 1976, in support of that year's Black and Blue (Rolling Stones). Horvat, wrote the second part, covering the ensuing years through to 1998. The book was originally published prior to the Stones' second visit to Zagreb in 1998, in support of Bridges of Babylon (Virgin, 1997). The authors' individual writing styles, while different in temperament, is complementary, with Horvat more fired up in contrast to Glavan.
Both writers opt for lesser known details from the Stones' biography when they construct their stories and do their analysis, calling upon sources and books like Roy Carr's The Rolling Stones: An Illustrated Record (Crown Publishing, 1976). Both are armed with an encyclopedic knowledge of their subject's work, but avoid mechanical citing of the band's enormous body of work and don't stray into tabloid speculations.

Gregory Baltoro 75 Pack
Products on Sale are Discontinued Styles or Colors.
Moosejaw Staff Pick
"The Gregory Baltoro 75 Pack is my favorite pack. It has all the volume I need to carry enough gear for a week on the trail and some extra fun on top of that. The fit is great because it keeps the load centered over your hips and does not restrict your bodies natural swing while you move on the trail. The Baltoro has by far, the best carry system. Each wing of the hip belt floats independently from one another and the shoulder straps are free from the hip belt too,so as your weight shifts from side to side as you walk the load stays centered with your torso. It's a breeze to adjust and has yet to have any piece fail on it . The Baltoro is for sure a great bag to get."

I went to a local outdoor store (not to be named) to try on packs and see them in person. While trying them on with a small amount of weight in them (20-25lbs), I absolutely fell in love with the comfort of the Baltoro compared to other packs. I quickly rushed home to place my order on MJ. I received the pack shortly after and completely loaded it out with 50lbs or so and went for a 10 mile hike. To my amazement, the pack was JUST as comfortable with 50lbs as it was with 20ish. And I didn't even break it in!! All around this pack is awesome and fits my needs. One of the best features of the Baltoro is the placement of the expandable/collapsible water bottle pouch. Other than that, the pack does what it is suppose to do and has all the pockets you need. I bought this pack based solely on the fit and comfort of this pack compared to the rest. Great product!
After doing a lot of research on packs for a trip to Nepal, I went with the Baltoro. Was a little hesitant to spend this much on my first real pack (have had a few day packs), but I'm glad I did. It's a little bit warmer and seemed slightly heavier than some other packs I tested, but the comfort, durable construction, and faith in the brand won me over. The waist straps are really comfy, and the water bottle holder shown in the picture is easy to access without taking off the pack. Without much experience with other packs, it's hard to point out other things that might be uniquely awesome about the Baltoro. Just stop reading reviews and buy it!
Great Pack! Lots of room from anything from an overnight to a 5 day trip. Excellent padding on the back and on the waist belt. Also waist belt adjust as you walk helps keep the pack aligned with your spine on uneven terrain. Lots of compartments makes it easy to organize your gear for easy access on the trail. Top part of the pack is easily removed to become a day pack. Very convenient water bottle pocket that adjusts to different size bottles and is easy to reach while hiking. This pocket is also collapsible when not in use. Second Gregory Pack I've owed. Bought my old one used with a rivet busted on one of the shoulder straps contacted Gregory and they repaired it free of charge. Used the pack for almost 5 years close to thirty hikes. The only reason I opted for a new one is the frame on the old pack was too large for my torso. Had such a great experience had to buy another Gregory pack. Down sides needs more ventilation on the back slightly heavy but durable.
I chose this bag over all the others I tried. This bag has tons of pockets which helps keep all my gear organized. The bag can be adjusted multiple ways to find the perfect fit. The zippers are great and work flawlessly. The 75 was perfect for a 5 day hike. I had plenty of room but it wasn't to big. You will not regret buying this bag.
I researched backpacks extensively, looking for something that would work for 2-3 night hikes, as well as week-long hikes. I narrowed my choice down to the Gregory Baltoro 75 and the comparable Osprey Aethers (70 and 85). Both are great packs. Each is slightly different than the other. The Baltoro is a little heavier, but fit me better and had better padding. The Baltoro has the exterior pouch formed to fit a Nalgene Water Bottle, and the Aether does not. The Aether has an exterior hydratyion sleeve, and the Baltoro does not. It was a close decision until I tried both on. I went with the Baltroro because it fit me better. I am pleased with my decision.
I can not tell you that this backpack is better than every other backpack out there, but I can tell you that this backpack is incredible. If you size it correctly (took me a couple tries), say goodbye to obnoxious lower back pain when you are backpacking with 40+lbs in your backpack. This thing carries weight like a dream (seriously, it is hard to believe how comfortable it is). All of the extra pockets are really awesome for organizing your things, I really appreciate that. Lastly, this thing is just really well put together. The zippers are all super smooth, the material feels so nice. Everything kind of gives off the aura of high quality and durability. I look forward to many long years of backpacking the Uintas and southern Utah with my new companion.
Gregory Backbacks really has done a great job engineering the Baltoro 75 Pack. The suspension, comfort, and general fitting is the best on market. The pack has multiple latch-on's points to attaching gear, along with many access zippers to get the stuff you need quickly without wasting time. The hip belt is more supportive and stronger than others on the market and worth the extra weight. I don't know what else to say except the fit is fantastic, suspension holds weight effortlessly, and the features outweigh the weight of the pack. It's a wise purchase for those that want a comfortable, enjoyable experience on mid to long distance trips. Enjoy your climb!
I have had this pack for about a year now and am no where near disappointed with my purchase. If you have back issues, like myself, the lumbar support on this thing is a godsend. The fact that it is a 75 liter pack makes it versatile as well, I have used it for plenty of single day climbing trips, along with a couple weeks in Central America. The molded hip belt adds a lot of comfort, but does make it clumsy for travel (although packed full I can still shove it in the overhead compartment). The pack is compatible with a 3 L water bladder, but I wouldn't suggest using osprey's hydrofoam nalgene bladder.
Took this pack to Europe and a few trips stateside and it was amazing. The removable brain is one of my favorite features on the pack. The hydration bladder sleeve made water easily accessible even after my water bottle conveniently stored on my waist belt emptied. The multiple pockets and access points make everything inside the back easily accessible. The 75 allows you to pack just about anything you can possibly need for your outdoor adventures. It is made to take a fair beating and when properly packed, it can be very comfortable with a heavy load.

I bought this pack because of the strong reviews (and my wife's experience with the Deva 60) and it did not disappoint. It handled our two person sleeping bag with ease and carried the overall load very well. Our over night hike was a technical 5 miles in (and out) and I barely noticed the pack. There are pockets everywhere that gave easy access to lunch, my nalgene, the camera, and rain jacket when we hit a stray shower.I know that there's place inside for a hydration bladder but I worry about it leaking and soaking my gear.Great pack. Really great!!

Public Bonds
Better Terms and Better Rates
Public senior and subordinated bonds are often the best term debt source for a publicly traded borrower. An underwritten bond issue reduces refinancing risk, helps near term cash flow, and matches asset lives to liability terms and can increase bank financing availability. PNC will work with you to determine if a public transaction is your smartest option. Public debt issues are often the right choice for:
- Transaction of $200 million or more ($100 million or more for REITs or certain High Yield issuers)
- Companies with public ratings or those intending to get one
- Companies that are or intend to be publicly reporting.
Convertible/Hybrid Securities
More Flexibility and Lower Coupons Instruments combining features of equity and debt may be the right solution for issuers, especially when trying to improve financial or regulatory capital ratios or when the coupon cost of straight senior or subordinated debt is too high. This can also be true of an issuer whose equity is broadly considered by the markets to have strong upside potential.
Tax Exempt Industrial Revenue Bonds
Save On Interest and Drive Growth
Tax exempt industrial revenue bonds are a good option for for-profit companies seeking to fund certain manufacturing, port and solid waste disposal facilities and capital investment in special areas such as the Liberty Zone and GO Zone. PNC is a nationally recognized leading issuer, with transactions completed in sizes from $2 million to $200 million. Term fixed and floating rate debt, direct credit and credit-enhanced structures are available in the private placement and capital markets; in some cases with maturities of over 30 years. A borrower can save as much as 3.0% interest per year on qualified bonds versus conventional financing. For projects that do not qualify for tax-exempt bonds, a borrower can issue taxable variable rate debt, like Tarpaper® that can be frequently be combined with local and state tax benefits.

Good afternoon puckheads! Been a crazy week to say the least, with dramatic last second game-winning goals, furious late 3rd period comebacks, a litany of shutouts, a successful All Star game weekend in Ottawa and record setting night in Edmonton!
Anyhow, my hot streak hit a bit of a lull last week going sub.500 for just the 2nd time in months. Time to get back on the horse!

Washington @ Montreal (2:00pm ET)
After kicking off 2012 with a more familiar brand of hockey, putting W's on the board and a reclaiming of 1st place in the Southeast, the Caps have now dropped 4 of 5 and find themselves back on the outside looking in again in the East Conference playoff picture. Meanwhile, the Habs, after the shocking the hockey world with a demolition of the Detroit Red Wings, have now dropped two in a row. However, their four losses in the past six and seven of ten are the more indicative measures.

Despite the Avs foiling in a 4 game losing streak, they've still been playing competitive hockey, losing all 4 by just a single marker. However, that factoid only begins to sum up the Nucks recent run of play. Vancouver only had 2 games in the entire month of January which WERE'NT 1-goal affairs. Giggy has really took the ball and run with it recently, with prized acquisition Varlamov only getting 1 start since January 15th!

As the Kings head to Carolina, they embark also on a 14-night, 6 -game road trip. One would think that a battle against the Eastern Conference basement dwellers is the ideal matchup for L.A. to kick off the trip. However, the Caniacs are coming off a 3-zip whitewash of the Stanley cup champs, so confidence may just be running at a season high.

The Leafs have received seven of a possible eight points. Although it really should have been a full eight of eight after spectacularly blowing a 4-1 lead with 5 minutes left vs. the Pens in Pittsburgh Tuesday night. However, to Toronto's credit, they did exact revenge the next night @ home with fan favourite Optimus Reim posting a shutout in his 1st start in over 2 weeks.

The Sharks have been picking up steam of late, winning 3 straight and beating their opponents by a 12-2 score in the process (with 2 shutouts to boot). Thornton and Pavelski specifically have reached mid-season form with a combined 9 pts in the past 2 game alone!
As for the Yotes, the free fall continues. They remain stuck on a 3-9 record in the new year.

After a night of epic proportions by young, skilled (yet underachieving) forward Sam Gagner, with an obscene 8 point night in Alberta, the oil kids will attempt to keep the momentum going. Unfortunately, the veteran-laden Wings, with countless Stanley Cup rings between them, will close the door and show who's boss in the West! After all, the Hawks, for all their success this year, have not had any success whatsoever with Crawford in net vs. the Oilers.

John Terry is the first current Chelsea player to discuss the club's proposal to purchase the freehold of the Stamford Bridge stadium site from Chelsea Pitch Owners - and it wouldn't be right for it to be anyone else.
No one in the squad has more special memories tied in with the ground, and it is unlikely anyone in the squad has a closer understanding of what the club means to both the supporters and to the owner Roman Abramovich.
The Chelsea and England captain is also much travelled around the football stadiums of the world and appreciates what it takes to achieve success within them. He knows the importance to a top team psychologically to have a top stadium to call home, and in addition to all that, he is the president of Chelsea Pitch Owners.
'For me obviously I have great memories of Stamford Bridge. I made my debut at Stamford Bridge and have spent my whole career at the one club,' Terry says, speaking exclusively to the official Chelsea website.
'But what excites me is the thought of my kids, who are Chelsea through and through, being able to grow up watching the team play in a big stadium.
'We're talking about the next generation of kids beyond that as well. It excites me because I know for sure that we can grow.
'We can grow if we're successful on the pitch and if we've got the capacity to expand and do what other clubs are doing.
'It's not hidden that other clubs throughout Europe have gone out and bought sites for big stadiums,' he points out, 'and we are not the only club with a rich owner. There are others, including QPR locally, who are going to look to expand in west London as well.
'We all have great memories of the Bridge but for us to go further, we might need to move, and we have to trust our owner. He has been amazing since he bought the club, along with our fans as well. No one is saying it is going to be an immediate change but we need to be looking because I am sure other clubs will be looking at the same potential sites.
'We have to remember that London is a hotspot, west London especially,' Terry continues, 'and big development companies can build substantial flats and penthouses here and if we're not putting our name in the hat for these sites, then without a doubt they'll be snapped up by developers. Especially with the Olympics as well, London is the place to be.'
As well as acknowledging the club's need to be able to secure a site quickly should the decision be made to build a new stadium, Terry highlights the fact that, with new financial regulations kicking in, some of our main competitors maybe adding one more world-class player to their dressing room every season with the extra revenue they generate compared with Stamford Bridge.
And there is also another benefit to having an enlarged stadium he considers, looking at it through a player's eyes.
'With teams like Stoke,' he says, 'it probably suits them to have a smaller ground and a smaller pitch, but the type of team we have become in the last 10 years with the type of players we have, for us to have a bigger pitch would be a big benefit.
'We have suffered from this at the Bridge in the last few years when clubs come and park the bus, as we often say. We find it a little difficult to break them down at times but with a bigger stadium and a bigger pitch, with the quality we have in the squad and the quality we are aiming to have in the future, that would certainly serve us well.
'Barcelona, Wembley, Arsenal's ground, Old Trafford, they are all grounds that impress me when I play at them and looking at Arsenal and Man United, they are getting a lot more income due to their capacity than us without an owner dipping into his own pocket, like Roman has done consistently year after year.'
The fact that Terry values highly Abramovich's ambition for the club is something he wishes to emphasise clearly.
'Looking back to the end of the season before Roman bought the club, there was speculation that if we didn't make the Champions League then the likes of myself and other prospects coming through would be sold for financial reasons. But we had Desailly, Zola and these kind of players and we were on the verge of becoming a very big club, and we almost lost that chance.
'Now we are a very big club which is why we have to put our trust in Roman. He is Chelsea through and through and he certainly wouldn't have put the money in and shown the attention to detail that he has done over the last eight years, only to suddenly now stop doing what he believes is best for the club.
'Anyone who has been to Cobham can realise the detail that went into the training ground with Roman making sure he got everything right, and not just on a first-team level, for the reserves and youth as well.
'The fans play a massive part in the club and I can understand people being a bit wary of this proposal but they've seen what the owner has done in a short space of time and we have to keep faith with him that he will do the right thing by the football club. He will do the right thing now and he will still be doing the right thing in 10 years' time.
'He realises that without the fans Chelsea is nothing. Players will come and go, managers will come and go over the next 50 to 100 years, but Chelsea fans will always be Chelsea fans. I am one of them, my kids are too, and I want to be part of that for the next 40 to 50 years.
'When Roman says that if we do move, he wants it to be within a three-mile radius, we have to trust him, and the people underneath him. Knowing the board as I do, I am sure they will answer questions fans have as honestly as they can.'
The club already addressed questions from supporters with a series of answers published earlier this week and Terry believes the club is being as transparent as possible about its decisions on future stadium development.
'I wouldn't be coming out, speaking publicly and backing the club if I didn't believe in it. I could quite easily say nothing and let the club do their thing but I've been here for so long and I've spoken to the owner on numerous occasions. He is Chelsea mad and wants us to be in with the Barcelonas, the Man Uniteds, and we know that doesn't happen overnight.
'We're not expecting it overnight. In the next five or 10 years he wants us to be in a position where we've got a great facility at Cobham and we also have the stadium to match our aspirations.
'All the fans who bought shares in Chelsea Pitch Owners have played a very important part in the history of the club. I am the president of CPO so I understand what it is about.
'If the club does end up moving then Stamford Bridge will never be forgotten, by myself or the fans. If the club does decide to move then there are some sites in west London that spring to mind that are not too far and I don't believe Roman ever wants to take us too far away from where the club started and where we've created our name.'
