Wow that line quality in your figures is mind blowing! I suppose i need to start drawing some organic forms like that soon! Keep up the awesome updates! Cant wait to see more from you!!
Really like those figure drawings!
Those heads aren't as bad as you think they are, and I think the colours are the best part about them. Here's a paintover of one of them, since it does have some structural issues. I still have some trouble with this head angle myself, so take this with a gigantic grain of salt. =)
I'm basing the head angle on the angle of the nose - if you're seeing that much of the underside of the nose, there's going to be a pretty decent chin tilt. The features are going to be a little less far apart, and the bottom of the chin is flatter. You've painted the lips more or less as though they were straight-on; at that angle, you'd see more upper lip, and the lower lip would be a little more straight-across. The eyes - if you want her to have crazy-eyes, they'd be a bit wider, and if she's just sort of looking down, they'd be that narrow, but the pupil wouldn't be so far down. Also, remember to wrap the features around the face. As you tilt, you'll see more of a curve of the features. The eyes should be angled, not in a straight line.
I do love her hair, BTW. It's got great volume.
Impressive work man keep at it , i see improvement.
Yeah the line quality is pretty great in your last post Keep working on those faces. I can already see a lot of improvement.

I've had a lot of roleplaying going on over the weekend, so I wasn't able to scan the stuff I did. So here comes my (not really) big ass sketchbook update from the last 2-3 days:
A couple figures (the spider-like were without ref, the others with ref)
And a more finished painting: (I think that I should really do some self portraits next)
wow ecki i love the reffed figures more emphasis in volume and balance would be nice sometimes it feels as if they are floating others are spot on perfect tho, and the digital paintings are coming along really nicely keep it up!
my sketchbook! Drawing like a maniac!!
My Blog
Destroy your weaknesses! theres nothing more to it! stop bitching grab that pencil and sketch Away!
nice updates since i last checked this sb! i dont have much to say since you seem to be on top of everything, just keep practicing really. one thing you could do is maybe explore outside of characters and try environments or creatures? just a suggestion though, anyways keep at it!
I can see confidence in your lines, good work.

@lionheartGFX: Hey thanks Well, I still don't care about balance. Mostly I'm just trying to get an interesting pose or composition. Maybe I should really care a little more about balance
@kevin_: Thanks ;D I'll be doing environments again, but first I want to spent another week or two only on anatomy, faces and skintones. I really need to get this stuff in
@Danny_K: Thanks, It really helped to remove the eraser from my pencil
@Suira: Hey man Thanks! Faces are really tough
Today, I've got one photo study (I just now notice how much I failed with the proportions, but I mostly tried to observe skintones and values which are also way off here ):
One black colored pencil rendering:
Damn, your figures are getting better so fast. The multi-limb position ones are freaking awesome. Great line quality too. But that's not air guitar, it's an invisible strap-on.
Big jump up on that portrait; the likeness is quite good. A few things to help out. Push your values even more. In spite of what we hear, don't be afraid to use black where it naturally occurs (occlusion shadows, mostly) as well as pure white (pure specular highlights). The bottom lip, for instance, has a good amount of specularity to it, so using white there will help to sell that it is a glossy or wet surface. Your edges could also use a bit of lovin', but that naturally comes with close observation of value changes across forms. I do recommend some simple geo-form renderings, like you've commented on my page. They seemed simple to me, at first, but have been getting quite complex to pull off right. Good thing is that I know that I'm getting better with each one I do, and all I care about is moving forward, as I'm sure you do too. Keep up the great work, sir!
Man MrFrenik is awesome!! So much good advice! I learn alot from just reading what he writes hahahaha That painting man!!! Dammmmmmmmmmmmm!!! Im so jealous of your rendering abilities! I am only focusing on form right now, soon i will get to doing what you are doing Still scared about it hahahah Color and light and in my nightmares when it comes to learning them hahahaha Keep up the good work man and thanks for stopping by my sketchbook!!!
I agree with the two dudes above me,that portrait has huge improvement in it,watch for edges though if you observe closely you will be suprised sometimes by how many simple shapes there are in your subjects.
Truly awesome updates Ecki. Thats some great shit in post #155. Very much like the one where she's holding the axe. Cool! Your line and poses are really looking nice. I do think balance is important to at least keep in mind, no point in not thinking about it. Also, still some small brush use, that's not really adding much to your painting. The lips do look real nice to me in that last update. Also, as far as I know you're making good decisions in terms of color. Cool.
@Kvetch: Thanks, I'm afraid that you're right D: I just didn't want to write that because I didn't mark this thread NSFW
@MrFrenik: Thanks mate I had big troubles with white and black in the past, so I'll be staying away from them for some longer. But I'll keep it in mind and I will experiment with this I try to use almost black and almost white, though. So that I'm still able to use color. Mostly I still have to dim them down a little. Maybe I'm lacking a little confidence with using really bright and really dark tones? I will pay more attention to this in the future! Geo-forms and the Scott Robertson approach seems quite a nice practice, I should also watch this stuff again. The thing about sunlight = parallel rays of light was really enlightening to me and explained a lot of weird shadow phenomenon that I had in the past while observing.
@Joe777k7: Thanks, but I'm not that good with rendering actually. I'm often having troubles with showing form. Just keep working and you'll be kicking my back soon
@GrayPersona: Thanks, but I'm not sure if I'm betting this right? Are the edges related to the simple shapes or are those 2 separate statements?
@I STRaY I: Thanks a lot, sir! The one where she is holding an axe is actually from an Bavarian farmer pinup-calendar (which is pretty weird) I'm trying to think about gravity more and how the muscles are influenced by that. Maybe I should put more purpose into my poses (like have them doing something). Then, I would need to apply balance. You're spot on with the "small brush"-thing. It's so rewarding while painting It looks so nice while doing it. But looking at it after one day, the magic has worn of and it just looks awkward. I think I should stay away from that voodoo
I've spent the last days painting, but everytime I finished, it was too late or I was to tired to upload my stuff, so here I go:
First, some random sketches:
One photo ref study I did yesterday:
2 Paintings (no ref):
Holy crap!!! You are really coming along man... once again making me feel lazy. Those photo studies are top notch and these last two paintings are great! Especially that last one. You're killing man, keep this up and you'll be a pro in no time!

Very good figure and head sketches. I really really like how you did the hair on the girl in post n166, it's just so alive !
In your pencil drawings i like the technique you use in making the shadows.
Fantastic figures in these latest batches, multi-limbed figures are great as ever. I see a few wonky noses here and there, might be something to watch out for.
You do man, your dedication is fucking awesome!

The last portraits are coming out really well, i specially like the one in post 160, and for that one painting with a heart headband, the right arm which is supposed to be coming at us looks too flat to me, and the head could use a lot more emphasis on perspective, the mouth and chin could be bigger and the eyes and forehead area alittle narrower.

As most of you know, I love taking pictures. No, I am not one of those people who's quitting my day job to become a wedding photographer, but I enjoy the science of photography. So that is why last Christmas, when I finally got a digital SLR, I felt like I had finally gotten the toy I wanted. The past year, I have taken pictures everywhere...but, I do miss my point and shoot model. There was something about not having to change lenses, adjust the metering, aperture, and shutter speed and just 'take pictures' that I missed. Nevertheless, I kept taking pictures. It's what I do.
Recently, on this DSLR camera that was barely a year old, though...something wasn't working. I just noticed the picture quality had dropped significantly and I wasn't getting what I wanted out of most every shot.
That's when I noticed what professional photographers call "DEAD PIXELS" on all of my pictures. These are little white spots where the sensor has failed and no longer captures the image and create jagged edges or noise in the picture.
Long story short...I called the manufacturer and they told me to send it in and they would fix or replace the unit completely, no questions asked. This is a great response when you have invested (at least to me) what is a good amount of income on one of these 'big boy cameras'. I've had to call the manufacturer two times before...and I admit, they ROCK with customer service...which, is a big part of why I buy their brand.
The facebook status read the following as I boxed up the camera and sent it off.
I just sent my camera back to the factory. As I stood there at the FEDEX counter, I had visions...they looked like this...where a highly trained team of experts from around the globe had assembled and were waiting, waiting... for my package to arrive so that they could immediately assess my camera in a scientific and controlled environment. Some of the worlds brightest minds in digital imaging and spectral rationalization had only one wish that knew no limit....to fix Chuck's camera and get it back to him so he could post more pictures to facebook. This is my dream...so don't even try to frig with it...get your own, if need be...but, this dream...this one is mine.
Now, as I wait for my camera to return, I also wonder about a return to the 'point and shoot' life that I am seeming to miss with this high end camera. Sure, they have an "auto" setting even on these higher end models...but when you have one of these DSLR cameras...the tendency is to adjust your settings accordingly. Wow...as we advance, things become more complicated, don't they?

So much potential coexists with so many scientific, environmental and economic challenges
Philip T. Pienkos, Lieve Laurens, Andy Aden
The technical hurdles described above have all been overcome to some degree (in the laboratory or in pilot facilities), but the biggest challenge to the commercial viability of algae-based biofuels is to carry out steps at low enough cost to produce a competitively priced biofuel. Analyses over the past 20 to 30 years predicting cost have ranged from what could be characterized as wildly optimistic (less than $1 per gallon) to more conservative but hardly encouraging (more than $40 per gallon). Until true production costs are understood, cost reduction from research and development gains are difficult to quantify. Therefore, NREL is attempting to establish baseline costs for producing algal biofuels using technology readily available today.
To do this, we apply experience and methodologies used previously for technoeconomic analysis of lignocellulosic, or woody, feedstocks for biofuels production. Technoeconomic analysis combines detailed conceptual process design with economic analysis to tie performance to cost. To do this, we have modeled baseline algae processes for both open-pond and closed photobioreactor systems. The models include growth; harvesting; concentration; lipid extraction and recovery; and conversion to fuel. The baseline models currently assume that spent algal biomass goes through anaerobic digestion to recover some of the energy value as methane. However, the models will allow alternative coproducts to be explored. The material- and energy-flow rates calculated from these models can be used to determine the size of equipment needed and to develop capital and operating costs for the algal biorefinery. In the end, the algal oil is assumed to be converted to diesel or jet blend stock.
In our recently published baseline analysis, fuel product at a 10-million-gallon-per-year facility could be produced for between $10 and $20 per gallon. Although many parameters affect the economics, we have identified two key cost drivers: lipid content and growth rate. With improvements to these and other parameters, as well as several coproduct scenarios, the potential for cost reduction is significant. Further enhancement of these models will come from using more experimental data from pilot operations underway across the country. Assumptions regarding the recycling of nutrients and water to reduce cost and improve sustainability will be tested for validity.
The composition of the biomass produced by a given process hugely influences the economics. The ratio and composition of proteins and carbohydrates in a given algae crop will determine the fate of the residual biomass once lipids are extracted. That can play a significant role in the overall process, perhaps even driving the development of alternative uses of residual algal biomass. For example, biomass with high fermentable sugar content could be converted into fuel ethanol, a product with more commercial value than methane.
One problem that also must be tackled is the large range in reported algal lipid content in the literature. The use of a wide variety of extraction methods and solvent types is part of the problem. The lack of a standard lipid-quantification procedure, differences in compatibility of the polarity of the solvents, differences in the polarity of the lipid molecules, and the accessibility of the lipids to solvent penetration all play a role. Inevitably, the extractable oil fraction will contain nonfuel components (such as chlorophyll and other pigments, proteins and hydrophobic carbohydrates). Thus it is necessary to assess the fuel fraction—the fatty-acid content of extracted lipids—within these oils. This is vital for accurately capturing productivity improvements. We must be certain that an observed increase in extracted lipids is not an artifact of the measurement process.
In this context, the algal-biofuels research community is moving away from extraction-based lipid quantification and toward a whole-biomass transesterification process, which gives an accurate yield of the potential fuel fraction. It does that by measuring only the fatty acids as methyl esters. Since the fatty acids are ultimately going to form the basis of the biofuel produced, this is an accurate measure of the total oil yield.

Fisherman's Lodge Tobago beach accommodation
Originally a fisherman's shack, this delightful renovated lodge offers luxury Tobago beach accommodation for those seeking a special beach holiday on the lovely Caribbean island of Tobago. Fisherman's Lodge, superbly located overlooking the beaches and bay of Castara, has dual aspect views to the beach below and to the Caribbean Sea to the west enabling guests to enjoy the spectacular sunsets whilst only a five-minute stroll from the beach immediately below.
In July 2009, we finished a complete renovation of the original shack around which we created the new bedroom and the covered deck and dining area in 2007. The central part of the accommodation has now been upgraded to the same very high standard that you will find in Birdsong where the primary material is the local cypress hardwood with its glossy yellow grain. The result is Tobago beach accommodation with some of the quirkiness of the original fisherman's shack integrated with quality and modern facilities in the shower room and kitchen. The spacious new shower room now reflects the standard that people have come to expect of Castara Retreats and our holiday rentals in Tobago.
The kitchen area is better integrated into the open plan living space (20ft X 15ft) with completely renewed floors, double boarded walls and windows all in yellow cypress. This has been sensitively done to preserve the building's unique Caribbean character with weatherboard exterior and fretwork trim. The kitchen itself has been extended with new gas cooker, tiled worktops and sink creating a much more efficient working space for those of you who love to cook, socialise and hang out at the same time. There is an enormous fridge/freezer, good quality pots and pans, cutlery and china for six people, glassware, toaster, coffee pots, teapots and blender. We have also continued our theme of carved sunray patterns over the doors and windows. The lighting has been improved with inset spotlights in the shower room, above all the kitchen surfaces and across the living space with dimmer switches and multiple choices to help you create the atmosphere for the mood of the moment. In this way, Castara Retreats has created a romantic atmosphere for couples or those seeking a special place for their Tobago beach holiday.
The bedroom (13ft X 15ft) has louvered windows designed to catch the cool breezes that come over the hill from the east, two hanging rails and a rustic wooden dressing table/desk as well as a wicker chest of drawers in keeping with our natural approach. The bedroom has a polished hardwood floor, similar to Rainforest, and a queen-sized bed with white bed linen and frame mosquito net. As you would expect of Castara Retreats accommodation in Tobago, we provide a hair dryer, hammock, free standing ventilator fan, iron and security safe for documents and valuables. We have just installed a good quality iPod docking system in all of our Tobago accommodations and you can also use your iPhones and MP3 players on the system provided you pick up a mini jack to stereo RCA cable (available at Dixons at airports). Castara Retreats happily provides this system and requests that our guests are mindful of volume levels during both the day and the evening so you do not disturb your neighbours. Outside the living area is a large covered deck (13ft X 15ft) that offers a wonderfully open environment for hanging out, gazing at the views, dining or liming with other people. Similar to the bedroom, the covered deck is constructed of wide hardwood planks of cypress giving the floor a gorgeous yellow glow. The deck is furnished with comfortable seating for four people with a large low level table for informal dining with space to seat up to eight friends and family. There is also a small full height breakfast table as an alternative dining option. Next to the covered deck is a lockable storage cupboard for beach gear, snorkels, diving equipment etc.
Beyond the covered deck is a spacious outside deck with westerly panoramic views - thought by many to be the best in Castara. This deck has sun loungers and comfortable beach chairs providing perfect viewing points for sunsets, stars and fireflies or for simply taking your ease after a day on the beach in Castara.
People who have stayed in Fisherman's have been fulsome in their praise of their Tobago beach accommodation for both its location on the hillside above the beach, and also its intimacy and privacy. In designing the renovation, we have taken great care to maintain the perfect flow of space and energy that clients have so appreciated. This means you have a wonderful choice of eating areas, spots to be private, places to observe nature or socialise with friends both inside and out and all with stupendous views. What better place for a vacation in Tobago or to celebrate a special anniversary.

Quality Archery Designs Ultra-Rest Pro HD Drop-Away Arrow Rest
Fully supports and captures the arrow, and drops away only when the bow is fired. Patented Lock-Down technology for total fletching clearance. Harmonic Damper for additional vibration dampening. Injection molded rubber thumbwheel is designed to force peak vibration amplitude to a minimum, while durable molded rubber creates a comfortable feel. Right-hand only. Color: Realtree AP™.
Manufacturer model #: BP-QURHDR.
Rated 4.9 out of 5 by 48 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by gatorguy4287 You will not believe how amazing this thing is! I had been looking for weeks at the different drop away rests to replace my whisker biscuit. I was able to shoot DECENT groups with it, but was not satisfied and felt they could be alot better. I finally decided to get the pro hd, and folks i have never been happier. With this rest and a well tuned bow your groups will shrink an incredible amount. Im now shooting a nickel size dot from 20 yards with my bowtech tribute. Also you don't half to worry about refletching your arrows like you do with a whisker biscuit. Do yourself a favor and get this rest, I promise it will be the best investment you ever made for your bow and you won't regret it. September 28, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Manny1974 Ultra-Rest rocks I bought this rest because my best friend has an older one and it is really nice. I need the locking feature because I shoot an overdraw (speed freak) and I need to lock it up so my broadheads will clear the riser. The cable clamp takes a little bit to get tight enough so it won't slip, but when you do it can't be beat. The timing on this rest is superb; I'm shooting 325fps and have no contact issues and the consistency is enough that I cannot shoot the same spot at 20yds without hitting my shafts. June 29, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Arkansas15 Can't improve perfection I have been using this rest for a couple years now and can't say I have a single complaint. It performs flawlessly every time. Worth the extra $$$. Cheaper rests will just break anyways and you'll end up losing money replacing the cheap ones. January 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by GeorgiaHunter77 Accurate The QAD Ultra-Rest Pro HD is pricy but has definitely lived up to my expectations. I just bought a new Mathews Z7 Extreme and the local bow shop recommended it over all the other rests. In all my years of shooting my groups have never been tighter. It also has the advantage of fully containing your arrow so you don't have to worry about the arrow not being in the right place at the right time. September 6, 2012

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.5
Enjoyed on-tap at Bar Volo, with the owner of Beaus. A complex aroma of coffee and yeast. Black with a notion of head. Medium mouthfeel, or even a tad below for its style. A story in chocolate, and yeast. Very drinkable, more of a single stout really. A touch of sourness mid-sip.

look: 3.75 | smell: 3.25 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 3.25 | overall: 3.25
Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a large dark brown foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of light coffee notes with some medium black chocolate bitter notes also discernable. Taste is a mix between some medium dry black chocolate notes with some light roasted malt notes which is well round off by some oat notes. Body is a bit light for style with good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Not bad overall but a bit too thin for style while lacking some character. I also don't get the Belgian yeast part of this beer.

Matt's Sleepy Time Belgian Imperial Stout shows shimmers of clarity along the base but, by and large, looks like a deep body of water overhung by storm clouds. It is not black but might as well be given its murky darkness. Despite there not being any choppy waves of head, I still wouldn't be traversing those waters. Looks dangerous.
I swear whatever strain of yeast this is I can find it in my spice rack. That, or it's been hanging out with my spice rack. Strong notes of anise, pepper, ginger, and clove dominate to such an extent that it's hard to say what it'd smell like had the Belgian yeast not provided its perfume free of service. It's especially burly at first but calms down a tad with air.
The beer hits virtually all the typical stout notes - cocoa, coffee, toasted nuts, roasted barley - but also features (due to the spice) the taste of chilies and (owing to the oak) the faintest hint of bourbon in the finish. At times, it can be very Vegemite-like and is oddly savory (more so even than spicy or sweet). There's also just a bit of brambly fruit (blackberry in particular).
The spice doesn't have nearly as strong a grip on the palate as I had anticipated. In fact, the aftertaste doesn't stick around long at all (fortunately neither does the alcohol, which is nearly undetectable anyhow). Still, brief hints of candied ginger show with warmth and that alluring play between spice and stout keeps me coming back for more.
Dive into Matt's Sleepy Time for a spicy, dark chocolaty, before-bed treat. The use of (a particularly expressive) Belgian yeast and oak chips have given this beer a more complex, assertive and intense nature than your usual stout. It may be a slightly acquired taste but it's undoubtedly one of the more successful "Belgian stouts" I've come across.

look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.5
On tap at Volo, served in a snifter.
Pours a clear dark ruby red, black away from the light, thin light tan head forms and quickly settles to a thin ring around the glass, no real lacing and the dies quickly.
Smell is neat, quite oaky, alcohol, dark fruit, a bit of brown sugar sweetness, light chocolate wafer and a touch of roastiness, vanilla, not bad.
Taste is similar, sweet up front, chocolate, some roast, caramel, a bit of dark fruit, oak, vanilla, alcohol, I like the fruit character but the oak was a touch astringent.
Mouthfeel is light bodied, almost thin, with rough carbonation, maybe not so much highly carbonated but not so well integrated. Some significant warmth going down. Won't roll with the big boys, but a good experiment.

600ml bottle from the Ottawa LCBO - part of a mixed 4 pack for $22
Appearance - Dark brown colour with an average size frothy light brown head. I can't make out the amount of carbonation showing and there is some fairly good lacing. The head lasted for 5 minutes before it was gone.
Smell - Malts, chocolate syrup, coffee
Taste & Mouth - There is a below average amount of carbonation and I can taste malts, chocolate syrup, and coffee. There is also a bit of a yeasty spiciness and a graininess.
Overall - Some nice chocolate flavour going on and some interesting grainy/yeasty taste. Not your typical Imperial Stout. My bottle is going on a year old, and it has held up very well.

Bottled on 11/27/12. Poured in to tulip glass.
A - Poured dark brown and settled black with two fingers of fluffy light brown head.
S - Big roast and Belgian yeast aromas up front with some chocolate in the background. Not getting any of the oak.
T - Belgian yeast dominates the palate up front and throughout. Some roast, chocolate, and a very faint touch of oak come through as well but the Belgian yeast flavours completely overpower and make this difficult to drink.
M - Medium body and creamy. Light carbonation. A nice body.
O - Very one dimensional.

The first in a new series of small batch beers from Beau's - a brewery who have impressed me by putting together a very nice regular lineup.
Pours a rich dark brown with a creamy tan head that dropped to a film and left some nice streaks behind. Misses the boat on the blackness a bit, but carrying on... Smooth, roasty aroma puts me in mind of a café mocha, though as it warms up the fruit gradually take over and I start to get more and more plum. Its much the same with the flavour, which initially seems characterised by a smooth roast (coffee, cream chocolate), but then has increasingly noticeable fruit tones. That's not to say that the fruit ever dominates the flavour, and I would have preferred perhaps a bit of cherry in this to amp up the Belgian aspect. It certainly doesn't drink like an imperial stout, and I have a hard time believing the listed ABV of 8%, either something's askew or these guys have a darn good talent for hiding the alcohol! Slightly thin body would match the flavour better if it was bulked up and smoothed out.
Overall, a very quaffable offering that didn't take too long to polish off. It seems that one of the hallmarks of this brewery is that they can put together some insanely drinkable offerings. Stylistically this doesn't really tick the boxes for an imperial stout as it doesn't really seem big enough, and as a Belgian offering it doesn't seem Belgian enough. A beer like this could fall between a number of stools, but somehow I still liked it. It will certainly be interesting to see what the upcoming offerings will be.
Big thanks to TJ for picking me a bottle of this up from the brewery!

Review from BeerAdvocate Magazine Issue #51 (April 2011):
Look at Canadian craft brewers making some noise! Throwing down the gauntlet with a Belgian Imperial Stout that is aged on oak staves. The darkness draws us in and a cropped lacing does its job. Hints of mocha, blackberry jam, musk and burnt bread come to mind within the first few sniffs. Creamy body with a snappy crispness. Complexities try to cram on to the palate all at once; choco-roasted malt, herbal phenols, warming fruity alcohol and a kiss of hop bitterness. Suggestions of anise, charcoal and black peppercorn in the middle. Dry maltiness is strong but lets every- thing slowly unfold. Dark unsweetened chocolate and alcohol in the finish.

On cask at Volo, served in a tulip.
Pours almost black, some mahogany highlights. Few fingers of fluffy and soapy offwhite head, no lacing but fantastic retention. Nose mild chocolate notes, some tripel-esque esters, some pear and a raw banana peel scent becomes really apparent with warmth. Taste has this banana peel again, milk chocolate, mild green apple and vanilla. Some harsh alcoholic qualities becomes evident halfway through the sip, and burns. Odd for a relatively low ABV (in terms of being imperial). Lacks a degree of body here, and I find this to be a very confusing offering overall. Some qualities of a tripel and imperial stout are blended in a less than impressive way, lacking coherence. I was befuddled by this, and was left indifferent and unimpressed. I recall having this when it initially debuted at Volo last summer and being significantly more impressed , but either by a function of palate development or otherwise, I can't say I feel the same way about this now as I did then.

on tap: Puts a dark brown-black ale in the glass, puffy tan cap, good kacing, soft carbonation. Aroma is musty-Cocoa-toasty, belgian yeast evident here. Flavor is lightly sweet but toasty-nutty with smoke undertones, not mucj hop balance, what there is is woody oak tones, long roasty chocolate finish. Interesting and tastey, no hint of the strength of this beer.

Bottled November 27, 2012.
Beer is very dark brown, almost black. A large tan head on top. Moderate retention, nice amount of lace.
Nose prominently displays Belgian yeast, oak, roast malt, anise and dark fruit flavours (plum, fig).
Taste contains oak, chocolate, dark fruit (fig, raisin), coffee, vanilla and Belgian yeast. Some anise. A bit smoky. Moderately bitter. Dry. Lots of flavours going on, but all integrated well with each other. Definitely get both sides of the story: Belgian ale and stout (though certainly leaning towards the latter).
Full bodied, moderately carbonated.
Overall, a good beer, The best I have had from Beau's. Have been interested in trying this one for awhile and am glad they brewed it again. Does not fit well into the imperial stout category, but it is a tasty brew.

Smell is chocolatey with spice, belgian yeast is pretty in your face, orange peel like citrus is also here with a bit of sweet sugars as well. Taste is spicy, roast and anise, lightly sweet as well, a bit herbal with some coffee bitterness, spicy in the finish. Medium carbonation, medium bodied. Just OK, some interesting things going on here, and I could have another glass of this again but not something I would go out of my way for.

Bottle from the brewery brought around by bobsy, thanks man!
Pours a dark brown, certainly no black, with a finger of head that has some decent retention.
Nose is light, giving off some nice fruitiness from the yeast, just a hint of coffee and roasting malts.
This is a real odd duck. It's certainly no imperial stout, no way in hell. It could be a Belgian stout but it's not overly roasty to point you clearly in the stout direction. The yeast and esters are fairly restrained, not playing up the Belgian. Seems to back away from all categories and yet somehow seems to work. Balanced is the key word here, some light fruitiness is layered under a pleasant roast, a hint of coffee, a little cream and vanilla, some cocoa powder, a hint of baker's chocolate.
Light body, hides the ABV - would certainly guess it's lighter than 8% and, in all honesty, it might be. Drinkable, though certainly not made to any style guidelines, certainly not an Impy!

Delighted to finally track down a bottle of this limited release. However am reviewing it specifically as a Belgian Imperial rather than an American Double, as I found the Belgian yeast overwhelming pretty much all other flavours in both aroma and taste.
Beautiful dark colour with coffee coloured head and silky mouthfeel. Not oily, but a creamy, thick texture. On the nose the Belgian yeast was predominant, with faint hints of roasted malts in the background. This may have been a result of the age of the bottle, as likewise in the taste the yeast was definitely in the forefront. Hints of oak, but less complexity than I'd expected.
Perfect for anyone who enjoys Belgian beers!

Appearance: It has a nice dark brown, almost black color to it. It has a nice thick beige head that dies down slowly and leaves little lacing.
Smell: The aromas definitely give out hints of Belgian yeast, sweet roasted malts, chocolate and light dark fruit.
Taste: Like the aromas, it has a some Belgian yeast, roasted malts, chocolate/coffee, some oak and a touch of vanilla.
Mouthfeel: It has a low carbonation with a nice overall balance and feel.
Drinkability: It's a very smooth drinkable beer accompanied with good flavors and aromas.

Bottled April 1 2010 and purchased from the brewery.
Pours a dark black with an off-white head. Surprisingly clear for a stout when held up to the light. Not a bad looking beer, but you'd never guess it was a stout. That's all I'm saying.
The aroma is too subtle for words.
Tastes like liquid marigold's. Somewhat cheesy. Inelegantly bitter. Roasty. Cold coffee. Black Dutch licorice. Oh man, this needs work. I'm not sure it's a stout, it's certainly not what I have come to expect from an Imperial stout, and the Belgian aspect clashes big time. I'm assuming they're using the same yeast they dropped in the bogwater. It tastes similar but it worked way better in the latter. Alcohol is incredibly well hidden. I agree with Rob's assessment than plum flavors come out as it warms and, indeed, there is a subtle shift from herbal roastiness to fruitiness as you go along.
It's not a drain pour but totally not something I would recommend trying or which should take up valuable brewing resources that could be better used brewing the Beaver River IPEh.

From the Best of Beau's Mix Pack 2012.
600ml bottle poured into a goblet. ABV 8%.
A - Poured a dark brown with a beige coloured head. Head reduce to long lasting bubbles. Minimal lacing.
S - Smells like a sweet stout mixed with a strong Belgian Ale. As it warmed the oak became much more noticeable.
T - Holy this is sweet. Espresso coffee, brown sugar, some burnt toast, wood, vanilla, bitter finish.
M - Body is heavy, good carbonation, sticky, oily, harsh finish.
O - Interesting concoction. I found it too sweet and I'm not liking the finish.

I picked up a bottle at the brewery when it was released but haven't had the time to review until now.
Poured a deep black with a big light brown head that settled to a small ring of foam. It left some lacing behind.
The smell is light with scents of an earthy coffee. Not much else really. The taste has a bit more.. coffee predominantly but there are some bittering hops towards the end. I get virtually no fruit flavours except for a touch towards the end. It's not terribly complex and the flavours that are there don't really jell together all that well.
Mouthfeel is hindered somewhat by overly aggressive carbonation, but otherwise ok. Drinkability is average.

Appearance: it never fails - these guys know how to make a beer look good! very dark brown with ruby when held to the light; full, dense, cappuccino head had amazing retention
Aroma: on the tart/acidic side; orange peel, anise, just a hint of chocolate in the background; mild
Taste & Mouthfeel: more of a mild taste than expected, but finishes with a delicious chocolate/coffee flavours that is full and not bitter at all; some resinous, and slightly citrus hops slide in after a few seconds - this is a beer with a real flavour build, doesn't start with much has a great profile in the end; great mouthfeel - perfect carbonation, full body, silky smooth, with some chewiness
Overall: stunning roast, with no sense of espresso bitterness often found in this style, just rich, luxurious chocolate/coffee flavour and some mild hops; only caveat is wish it had a bit more punch

Tap at Volo.
Poured a dark black and surprisingly clear, there was a little mahogany hue around the edges of the glass, and an ever so slightly tanned head that sunk to a slight film. Not much retention for the head or lacing.
The nose is pretty interesting. The belgian yeast character gives it a nice kick . Front off there is a hefty amount of smoke, charcoal, a little chocolate and vanilla along with a herbal character that is similar of cola nut. The yeast brings out some ripe raspberry and strawberry qualities as if they are stewing in their own juices and just mingle with the roast and chocolate tones.
The taste leans away from the smoke and puts front a very rich roasted cocoa beans, coffee, chocolate and vanilla. There is a little herbal quality that floats over the tongue and is blended with bready notes from the yeast. The finish is very nice and dry and snaps quickly with cloves and pepper and leaves the berry-like sugars resting on the palate. It is fairly complex.
The mouthfeel does end up seeming a little thin with it's high carbonation and why I would lean away from wanting to place it with other imperial stouts, but what's in a name? It doesn't take away from the drinkability of this one.
Belgian Strong Dark Ale seems more appropriate for its characteristics. As a stout it seems to fall short of what I want, mostly in the mouthfeel.

Chronic hives, also known as urticaria, are batches of raised, red or white itchy welts (wheals) of various sizes that appear and disappear. While most cases of hives go away within a few weeks or less, for some people they are a long-term problem. Chronic hives are defined as hives that last more than six weeks or hives that go away, but recur frequently.
In most cases of chronic hives, a cause is never clearly identified. In some cases, chronic hives may be related to an underlying autoimmune disorder, such as thyroid disease or lupus.
While the underlying cause of chronic hives is usually not identified, treatment can help with symptoms. For many people, antihistamine medications provide the best relief.

Welcome to the
Scripps Howard Center for Media Studies
The Scripps Howard Center for Media Studies at the University of Southern Indiana represents one of the finest opportunities in mass communication education in the Midwest.
The Scripps Howard Center is anchored by a multi-purpose teaching computer laboratory where students edit digital video, develop Web sites, study digital photography and craft enticing graphics for an array of modern communication purposes. The 17-unit Macintosh dual processor (featuring both Mac and PC platforms) laboratory primarily serves students in advertising, broadcasting, journalism and public relations.
The Center, which is made possible through a $200,000 grant from the Scripps
Howard Foundation headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, features the Burleigh
reading room where communications students can examine magazines, videos,
newspapers and other reference materials.
In the reading room, students can display photographs, PowerPoint presentations, videotapes, motion pictures and new media products. All student organizations in the department, such as the Public Relations Student Society of America, the American Advertising Federation, and the Society of Professional Journalists, hold meetings in the reading room.
Communication edge
However, the Scripps Howard Center is more than a computer laboratory. The Center is the department's focal point for special activities ranging from professional journalism seminars to a place where high school media advisers can learn from one another. The Scripps Howard Center has become the nucleus for:
- Professionals in residence
- Symposium on Social Media
- Roundtables on emerging news issues and trends
- Outreach programs for Tri-state high schools
- Publications workshops and practicums
- High School Media Day for Tri-state journalism students
A new beginning
As more students and more faculty contribute to the impetus of mass communication activity, the Scripps Howard Center will continue to generate educational opportunities not only for USI students but also for media professionals, regional educators, middle school students and the general public. The department is building a foundation for the digital future of communication education. Some of these additional objectives include:
- Sponsor of journalism, broadcast, advertising and public relations and communications studies advisory councils
- Graduate courses for high school media advisers
- A student-operated, youth-oriented news service for area media
- Student-run advertising/public relations agency
- Summer minority workshop for high school students
- Special diversity workshop
- Summer workshop for middle school reporters

News"Edge of Miracle or Disaster" Art Exhibit Documents Movement
Marlboro, VT—Senior Camille Grec presents Edge of Miracle or Disaster, an art exhibit mapping personal and geographical movement, from Friday, December 1 through Sunday, December 10 in the Drury Gallery at Marlboro College.
Using a variety of found objects including mirrors, yarn, plexi-glass, cloth, spray paint, and copper plates, Grec exhibits two- and three-dimensional artworks.
"I make art because I have to, because I cannot contain within myself all the beautiful things I experience," says Grec. "After I had already started deeply exploring these ideas and experiences through my work, I began to see that I was finding a way to share all the beauty and magic in my life."
Her Plan of Concentration in visual arts explores movement, documenting physical exchanges with personal experience. "I don't make art to understand myself," says Grec. "I make art to make myself, to reinvent my constantly shifting self."
Grec intends to see wherever her travels take her after Marlboro College: "Wherever I am, that's where I'll be."
The Drury Gallery is open Sunday through Friday from 1:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m.
For more details, call Kathy Reynolds in the Marlboro College Public Affairs office at (802) 251-7644 or log on to our Web site www.marlboro.edu and click on the "About" and "News" links.

Dana Whites apparent hatred for Tito Ortiz (15-6-1) is apparently less than his hatred of seeing him perform in another organization, so the love-hate relationship with White will continue to boil anew as Ortiz and the UFC announced a new deal that according to Dana White will see Ortiz retire in the UFC.
A less-than-impressive record of 0-2-1 in his last three fights was not enough to deter White from re-signing a fighter he once managed before he became the president of the UFC.
Rumors of negotiations between Strikeforce had trickled out but with few light-heavyweight options for Ortiz the UFC always appeared to be the best place for the former champion.
The rumored return could take place in November or December. bOrtiz is rumored to be facing off against fellow wrestler and former UFC heavyweight champion Mark The Hammer Coleman who is fresh off a victory over Stephan Bonnar.
Check out this hilarious video of Dana White and Tito Ortiz bickering following his last fight in the UFC.
