I have been loving this color since it came in a little green pot- in fact this was probably one of my first Clinique purchases back in the 70's. I relegated it to storage for several years and eventually tossed it when it went rancid. Recently purchased a two-sided balm/gloss tube and instantly remembered why I loved it in the first place. It is the perfect natural berry shade and makes my skin look creamy in contrast. This will be a staple for me this fall and winter.

Cant rave about this enough, I've bought this more than one time and no matter how many lipsticks I own, I have to ALWAYS own a tube of this. For me (not always for everyone) this is a sheer deep berry that's both dramatic and wearable..I dont know how it does that but it does. I can layer it on in the Fall, or slick it once across in the summer and no matter what, I dont look out of season. I know for some, this is drying, and I'm on maybe my millionth tube and I've not had that issue.
It also makes a great sheer tint for cheeks too!!

This is one of my favorite lip products. I'm not a huge fan of lipsticks and glosses in general because I think they make me look like a clown and I dislike the heavy greasy feeling most products have. That being said this is one of the very few lip products I use and replace on a regular basis. It adds the perfect hint of color and shine to my lips. It's noticeable but very subtle and sheer which you wouldn't expect from something that looks so dark in the tube. It also feels like a million bucks. It's not heavy or greasy at all. My only complaint is that since it's more like a balm it doesn't have great staying power but it feels so nice I don't mind reapplying a few times throughout the day. It also keeps my lips moisturized which is a plus.

Lovely balm like texture and subtle colour for those days when you don't want gloss or lipstick. I find this a bit too much on the purple/brown side when I use more than one layer (it makes me look a little sallow - I have very yellow undertones) but once I rub one layer in with my finger, it gives a slight berry stained look that is much more pretty! It doesn't last too long on the lips (2-3 hrs with eating) but its easy enough to reapply that it's not a problem.
A slightly more browner version of this would be 'fig jam' by revlon which I also like!

Love this as it is so effortless and always looks good. Perfect color. Perfect feel. Easy to carry and use. Love it for travel.

I like this product a lot actually. It has a nice color and the texture is very nice. Staying power isn't too long it it doesn't bother me. On my lips it comes out as a sheerish bright red. It looks pretty but I'm not really a red lipstick kind of person. I like the Rosey pink, berry, and mauve kind of shades more. But it's really nice.
Another cult product that lives up to his fame. I think this has that perfect plummy/pink/brownish shade that gives a MLBB effect. I'm sure it looks better on darker skinned ladies as I'm on the paler side and my natural lip color simply isn't brownish. However, i still think it looks great and i love the formula since it glides onto my lips without tugging and it is moisturizing.
i was really excited to try this because I've read good reviews. i really like the texture and how it moisturizes my lips and it provides some color, love the packaging too. However, the color is a little to dark for my Nc25 (asian) skin and made me look older. Love the formula but color does not suit my skintone.
I got a free sample of this with a sephora purchase. I like the texture of this lipstick- it is gel-like and goes on smoothly. It is also quite pigmented. I have very fair skin and with two swipes of this lipstick, I already have a dramatic look. I like how this product is not drying on my lips. Although I do like this product, I do not consider this product to be amazing or superior in any way. I would rate it a three overall.
Update: I am taking away a lippie because no matter how many times I try to use this product, it sticks to ANY dry skin on my lips and makes the color look uneven. I have tried to be patient, but this is ridiculous!
Awesome. When I have a couple extra dollars this is another lip color I've bought over the years and always been delighted with. Color perfect as it's so sheer. Packaging, not so much. Lip falls off easily. If it stayed on for a long time it would be absolutely perfect, but...what is?
The End.

Some bands wear their influences on their sleeves. Phoenix trio Emperors of Japan are no exception, but the quirky group has altered its attire. The Emperors wear many clothes. For example, "Reptile," the opening track to the band's first album, opens like an old Cure song, with spacy, dreamy keyboards. But when the high-pitched vocals come in, the song suddenly sounds like Pixies frontman Frank Black doing outtakes from "Caribou." EoJ's song "The Perfectionist" sounds like early, super-stripped-down Modest Mouse, but with the fuzzy guitar progressions of Dinosaur Jr., while tracks like "These Walls Are Thin" and "What Happened to You" resemble the chugging rock of Foo Fighters, but drenched in New Wave synths. Overall, the band's sound is dominated by simple guitar progressions, ethereal keys, and warbled vocals, proving that melting pots aren't bad provided you don't throw too much into the pot.

Trea Turner Rumors
Padres Sign First Three Picks
FRIDAY, 5:40pm: The Padres have announced the signings of Turner, Gettys, and Lemond.
4:50pm: Turner tweets that he has officially signed with the Padres.
He will receive a $2.9MM bonus that lands about $177K above the allocation for the 13th overall pick, tweets John Manuel of Baseball America. That is an unusual result for a collegiate player, Manuel notes.
1:40pm: Callis now reports that Lemond has agreed to a $600K bonus that will save the Padres about $31K (Twitter link). Turner is the only of their top three picks to remain unsigned at this point.
WEDNESDAY, 9:07pm: The Padres have reached an agreement with Gettys for $1.3MM, reports MLB.com's Jim Callis (on Twitter). That's about $217K over slot, and since Turner and Lemond don't figure to come in on under-slot deals, it will likely have to be made up further down the draft board.
8:16pm: The Padres are nearing deals with each of their top three picks — NC State shortstop Trea Turner, high school outfielder Michael Gettys and Rice right-hander Zech Lemond — a source tells Dennis Lin of the San Diego Union-Tribune (Twitter link). The assigned pick values for the Nos. 13, 51 and 86 picks are $2.723MM, $1.083MM and $632K, respectively.
Baseball America ranked Turner ninth among draft prospects, while MLB.com ranked him 14th and ESPN's Keith Law ranked him 18th. Turner is said by some scouts to possess 80 speed on the 20-80 scouting scale, and most feel that he has the instincts, range and a strong enough arm to handle shortstop. There are questions about his bat, as he could be a strong leadoff hitter if things break right or a bottom-of-the-order type if he doesn't improve certain elements of his offensive approach.
Gettys (37th per MLB.com, 40th per BA and 45th per Law) is regarded as a true center field prospect with 70-grade speed and raw power but questions surrounding his hit tool. Lemond (36th per Law, 58th per MLB.com and 78th per BA) battled elbow inflammation this season and has spent time as both a closer and a starter in his college career. As Law writes, he could be a mid-rotation starter with improved consistency of his curve and changeup, but if not he should be able to carve out a career as a high-leverage reliever.
The Padres entered the 2014 draft with $6,098,600 to spend on their picks, per BA, and giving slot deals to each of their top three picks would use up about 73 percent of that budget.

Rosenthal's Latest: Cards, Yanks, Phelps, Asche, Turner
In his latest notes column, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports quotes one rival executive that said Cardinals GM John Mozeliak "realizes he has more talent than anyone else — and he's reluctant to get rid of it." (That reluctance is illustrated by Mozeliak's comments to Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, as the GM told him that external changes aren't much of a consideration at this time.) Rosenthal looks at some of the recent improvements in the Cardinals' offense and echoes Goold's initial report that patience seems the likely route for St. Louis at this point.
More trade-, draft- and prospect-related highlights from a lengthy piece that also looks at slow starts in the AL East and a surprising start from the Twins…
- The Yankees have better pitching depth than many realize, Rosenthal opines, noting that Adam Warren could be moved into the rotation when Shawn Kelley is healthy again. He also points to a quartet of hard-throwing relievers at Triple-A — Diego Moreno, Jose Ramirez, Danny Burawa and Branden Pinder. A trade is still something the Yanks will likely explore, but despite the aforementioned depth, the team likely doesn't have the firepower to land someone like Cliff Lee, in Rosenthal's eyes. They have little more to offer than relief help and high-end catching talent and could be competing with at least two other AL East teams in the Orioles and Blue Jays.
- David Phelps wasn't the Yankees' priority when scouting director Damon Oppenheimer went to see Notre Dame play prior to the 2008 draft. Oppenheimer was scouting Phelps' teammate Kyle Weiland, but Phelps impressed him with his competitiveness, prompting Oppenheimer to push for him in the 14th round, which looks to be a nice bargain pickup six years later.
- The Phillies are having internal discussions about moving Cody Asche to the outfield in 2015 in order to clear room on the 25-man roster for top prospect Maikel Franco at third base. Though Rosenthal doesn't mention this, that does raise the question of what will become of Domonic Brown, the team's left fielder who is once again struggling after what looked to be a breakout 2013 season.
- Rosenthal hears that NC State shortstop Trea Turner is drawing interest from teams in the No. 6-10 range of the upcoming draft. The fleet-footed shortstop also has pop in his bat (he's second in the ACC in homers), but some scouts wonder if he can stick at shortstop. Rosenthal points out that both the Mariners (No. 6) and the Mets (No. 10) have needs at shortstop heading into a draft that is light on college shortstops.
- Analysts from the Pirates and Marlins made the same comment to Rosenthal in the past week: the most useful data regarding defensive shifts comes from where hitters put the ball in play against a team's own pitchers. The Marlins aren't particularly focused where batters hit the ball against soft-tossers, due to the flamethrowing nature of their rotation. Likewise, the Pirates' shifts are based largely on batted ball data against Francisco Liriano, Gerrit Cole and Charlie Morton.

-- Robert Preidt
MONDAY, June 17 (HealthDay News) -- The younger you are, the less likely you are to realize you are infected with HIV or receive treatment for it, a new study finds.
Early diagnosis, prompt and continued care, and antiretroviral drug therapy are key to lowering the risk of illness and death among patients, and reducing transmission of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.
However, this study of 2009 data from the National HIV Surveillance System found that people under the age of 45 who are infected with the virus are much less likely than their older peers to know they are infected or to be getting proper care.
The study also revealed that more than 200,000 of the more than 1.1 million Americans who are infected are unaware they carry the virus. The investigators also found that only about 37 percent of infected people received regular care, only one-third were prescribed HIV-suppressing medicines, and 25 percent had achieved a "suppressed viral load," meaning HIV was being kept to very low levels.
These results varied widely by age. For example, among HIV-infected people aged 13 to 24, only about 40 percent had received a diagnosis of HIV infection and only 30 percent had been referred for care.
Lower percentages of people aged 25 to 44 received regular care, were prescribed drug therapy and had a suppressed viral load, compared with those aged 55 to 64, the study found. For example, 28 percent of young adults with HIV were receiving treatment, compared with 46 percent of those aged 55 to 64.
The study was published online June 17 in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine.
Overall, more than 850,000 Americans with HIV had not achieved the treatment goal of viral suppression. This included 75 percent of men with HIV, 79 percent of blacks, 74 percent of Hispanics, and 70 percent of whites.
"Individuals, health care providers, health departments and government agencies must all work together to increase the numbers of people living with HIV who are aware of their status, linked to and retained in care, receiving treatment and adherent to treatment," concluded researchers led by H. Irene Hall of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"In 2011, the HIV field was shocked to learn that only about a quarter of individuals living with HIV were successfully receiving HIV treatment," Drs. Katerina Christopoulos and Diane Havlir, of the University of California, San Francisco, wrote in an accompanying commentary.
"The sobering numbers of those missing out on effective treatment because they did not know they were infected and those who knew their status but did not seek care spurred collaboration between the HIV treatment and prevention movements, two areas with different funding streams that often operated independently of one another," they noted.
"Already the HIV community has mobilized to further develop and study interventions that address bottlenecks in the cascade. Achieving an AIDS-free generation will be within reach if, and only if, these efforts succeed," Christopoulos and Havlir concluded.

What's Your Brewpub?
- Chinon00 Mar 11, 2007 09:59 AM
I've noticed that there are pretty much three distinct types of brewpubs in America:
1) Nanobrewpubs – These are pubs that are rather "mom & pop" and who make brew for very local distribution and consumption (i.e. on the premises). They are very small operations with no bottling or canning facility. If their beer is "distributed" it is either via growler or the occasional keg provided for a regular. They frequently model themselves after English pubs in terms of not only their brew (always one on engine), but also their food and décor. These places do have a steady rotation of beers that take on a fairly consistent character but they do tend to experiment often (which is cool). Their beers may lack the refinement of the microbrews which some find actually very charming.
2) Microbrewpubs – These are regionally or nationally distributed breweries that besides offering their year 'round brews (some even on cask) they also provide us an opportunity to taste a wide array of their seasonals on draft. They are also prone to intense merchandising. One "to remain unnamed" microbrewpub offered: ball caps, mugs, glasses, yard glasses, fleeces, t-shirts, polo shirts, hooded sweatshirts, tap handles, belt buckle bottle openers, golf balls, license plates, miniature trains, metal lunch kits . . . The food and atmosphere are never as interesting as their beers though. They can be described basically as a TGI Friday's or Ruby Tuesday's with an outrageous draft beer selection. The only plus being (as it turns out) it's the kind of place that you can easily take your SO, kids or parents and yet still get a great beer!
3) Chainbrewpubs – Like the nanobrewpubs their beers are distributed only to the far corners of the pub itself (with no bottling or canning operation). Many do however offer growler service. The beer can be very good but often to me tastes like imitation microbrew. Often though the food (and décor) at a chainbrewpub can be the best of the three.
In my experience it isn't wise to order a wheat, wit, or IPA at a chainbrewpub. If you are a fan of these styles you will surely be disappointed. Their pales, stouts and Vienna lagers usually are adequate though. They also always will have a light lager (for the macro crowd) along with a cloying raspberry, blueberry or strawberry wheat.
Of the three I probably frequent the nanobrewpubs the most. I appreciate the rustic quality of their beers and their aforementioned experimentation. They also tend to be places with an atmosphere where you can usually grab a seat at the bar (even on a weekend evening) and strike up a smart conversation on beer or other topics with another customer. I visit micros a little less often than nanos mainly due to the atmosphere, which again can be fairly generic. I probably like chainbrewpubs the least because of the styles that they tend to brew and their flavors which all seem to me to be carefully "market tested" (for lack of a better expression). As a result I've rarely had great or very interesting beer at chainbrewpub.
Which do you frequent the most? Why?
There's a local brewpub I love that I guess would fall under your 'Nano' classification. South Street Brewery in Charlottesville, Virginia. They make excellent beer, bottle nothing, and sell growlers and kegs to regular customers. And their beers have won awards. They don't really follow the English pub style, in that it is a large-ish restaurant and the food ranges from burgers and ribs to homemade bruschetta and fancy pastas. Unfortunately, their beer has become so popular that getting a seat at the copper bar on a Friday night is next to impossible.
I'm really excited for the next step from their brewmaster. He is opening his own brewery and hop farm in the fall. It will be set up like a vineyard, complete with a tasting room and tours, only they will grow hops instead of grapes. I can't wait!
re: mojoeater
Another good option in Charlottesville is Starr Hill. They're a nano-pub moving into the microbrewpub level this year. Well, they're moving much of their beermaking operation to a larger facility so that they can distribute more widely, probably nationally. The nanopub/restaurant/concert hall/reception hall space in C'ville is pretty good (the food varies a lot in terms of quality) and the beer is excellent. I'm a big fan of the Amber, especially and they also do a lovely stout. That's the beer I miss most now that I'm on the west coast.
Breaking down brewpubs into strict catagories might prove just as difficult as breweries; where, once there were "National-Regional-Local" breweries, and then "Microbrewery" and "Contract Brewery" added to the list, eventually some "micros" and "contractors" grew BIGGER than local and regionals (one contract brewery BOUGHT a regional brewery) and, with new beer markets developed, many "regional" sized (and smaller) breweries ship their product all over the country, making them national in distribution but "regional" in size.
In NJ, which came late to the microbrewery movement (which, in most states, required some changes in post-Prohibition alcohol laws that usually prohibited breweries from selling direct to the consumer and from owner bars), there are still legal distinctions between "brewpubs" and "microbreweries", so your (2) is illegal in NJ (and, IIRC, some other states). When Stoudt's first opened, there was some legal technicality that separates the restaurant (which existed before hand) from the brewery (altho', you'd never know it while there) and, IIRC, Carol Stoudt owns the brewery and her husband owns the restaurant. Whatever law that was, it doesn't seem to apply anymore, given the situation at Victory, etc.
I think NJ also prohibits a license holder from owning more than two brewpubs- which is why Triumph has expanded across the Delaware in New Hope and Phila., since they already own one in Princeton and a planned one in Red Bank.
A distinction you might add to your criteria, is whether a brewpub was created as such or a small brewery was added to an existing establishment. In both cases, there seem to be establishments that are "restaurants with a brewery" and true beer-oriented "brewpubs".
NJ (which I know best as far as brewpubs) has one of the strangest cases- a brewery in a huge "fast casual" chain restaurant chain location- Pizzeria Uno- yet it's the only one in the chain, IIRC. There are numerous other "unusual" brewpubs I've read about. I always thought that a brewpub/laudromat would work well- give the patrons their change in dimes and quarters (I don't know, these days do laundromats take cash cards or debit cards?).
re: JessKidden
There's a lot to digest there. But could you please further differentiate between a "restaurant with a brewery" and a "true beer oriented brewpub". My definition of a brewpub was simple; an establishment where beer is produced, sold and consumed on site.
I've found that a lot of brewpubs (in many, but not all, cases, they are of the type where the restaurant existed BEFORE adding a in-house brewery) don't really stress the beer and aren't really "beer oriented" places. As such, a lot of them seem to have "dumbed down" lowest-common-denominator beers, since they're attempting to sell them to the general public, not just the "beer geek". If the color of the beers in a brewpub's sampler is the most noticable difference between the beers, I'm always a bit disappointed in the place.
Certainly, the aforementioned Pizza Uno in NJ is such a place. Also, if you're at the bar in a brewpub and a large percentage of drinks in front of customers are wine, mixed drinks or bottles of megabrews, to me, it's not a beer oriented brewpub- and the brewery is more a "gimmick" than a reason for being. Granted, it's a hard balance to achieve- food vs. beer- and every business seems to approach it differently.
Hey, it's not like I don't frequent both sorts of brewpubs- and happy I've got the choice- when in a "new" area looking blind for a place to eat, a brewpub is almost always my first pick. But, I've gotten a lot of "eh" beers over the years at many of them.
re: JessKidden
ok, I'm just not familiar with that model I guess (i.e. pre-existing restaurant that incorporated a brewing operation). But here is a full disclosure list of which "brewpubs" I've been to (at least once) and how I catergorize each
General Lafayette Inn (Lafayette Hill, PA)
G.G. Brewpub (Glenside, PA)
Nodding Head (Philadelphia, PA)
Appalachian Brewing Company (Harrisburg, PA)
Dock Street Brewpub (Philadelphia, PA)
Lancaster Brewing Company (Lancaster, PA)
Victory Brewpub (Downingtown, PA)
Slyfox Brewpub (Phoenixville, PA)
Dogfish Head (Rehobeth Beach, DE)
Barley Creek Brewery (Tannersville, PA)
Chain (or Chain-istic [i.e. having the attributes of a chain]):
Rock Bottom Brewery (King of Prussia, PA)
Triumph Brewery (New Hope, PA)
Iron Hill Brewery (North Wales, and Media, PA)
John Harvard's (Devon, PA)
Brew Moon (Boston, MA)
Offshore Ale (Oak Bluffs, MA)
Boston Beer Works (Boston, MA)
Lowell Brewing Company (Lowell, MA)
Bethlehem Beer Works (Bethlehem, PA)
McKenzie's (Glenn Mills, PA)
Manayunk Brewpub (Philadelphia, PA)
Independence Brewpub (Philadelphia, PA)
Porterhouse (Lahaska, PA) Note: Yards Brewing Company contract brews at the restaurant.
The place i frequent doesnt really fit into anyone of the categories, but rather is a sort of combination between one and two. Pizza Port Solana beach makes outstanding beer. They manage to nail whatver style they are doing which is quite a feat considering they brew every wstyle imaginable. Their Hefeweizen tastes like a Bavarian one, a feat not easily pulled off in the US, their Irish Stout is like Guines only if Guiness were full of flavour, their IPA, 2xipa, Beligans are all fabulous as well. They make good renditions of english ales, pilseners and usually have something available on cask. Everything is fresh and delicious.
i think the only beer they bottle is the sharkbite red but you can get growlers there and they have begun bottling their belgians under a sister company the Lost Abbey. The food is decent enough as far as non NY pizza goes.
Hmm...interesting. Your list is heavily Pennsylvanian- a state with a great brewing history, both pre-micro (when they had more breweries than any other state) and post micro.
The brewpubs I'm thinking about in my description of "restaurants with breweries" are mostly in my current home state of NJ (where just an on-premise liquor license might cost 1/2 a million). Some (but, as I noted, not *all*) were in business before getting a brewing license- like Ship Inn, Pizza Uno (?- I guess, I don't remember it but, then, chain pizza isn't my thing) and the closed Mill Hill Saloon in Trenton, etc. Others that fit that description, tho', were (I think) opened as new businesses like the two Basil T's, .
Offhand, I'd say I've been in brewpubs in most of the New England states, NY, NJ, PA, DE, VA, MI, CO, LA, CA, NV and Ontario. If I had a good enough memory, I could probably name a few more brewpubs that would fit the concept of non-beer centric .
>Porterhouse (Lahaska, PA) Note: Yards Brewing Company contract brews at the >restaurant.
Well, there's another catagory- the fake brewpub. I recall non-brewing restaurants that used the name "Brewing Company" or "Brewery" in many places over the years. Bub's in PA. Dutch area (it later did open a brewery, IIRC), one up the Poconos, another in the White Mts. of NH, several NYC outlets over the years and I've read that Climax Brewing Co., in NJ, "secretly" supplies draft beer for a number of brewpubs in the NY/NJ metro area (as well as being the hired brewer at the Tom's River Basil T's).
Is the Porterhouse the brewpub that burned down a few years back? I was there when they were brewing and found it to be pretty mundane (the most memorable thing being a horrid "cherry" flavored beer that was given to me as sample- I've had lolli-pops that tasted more natural). I'm in the New Hope/Lambertville area alot flea marketing; will have to drop in when the weather turns next time I'm in the area now that you've reminded me of the deal with Yards.
re: JessKidden
So being from Pennsy I have a biased view I guess. The "fake" brewpub in the Poconos that you are refering to is PBC (Pocono Brewing Company). It is a very weird brewpub for the fact that you have to inquire about their brewed beers as they play 2nd (or 3rd) fiddle to the other imports and micros (and wines) that they have on tap. Their brewed beer is really just an afterthought (and actually isn't even brewed on site). They too actually have dummy brewing equipment displayed on site (I guess for affect). Weird!
As for Porterhouse I'm not sure if they burned down but previously Riverhorse was the contract brewer (I liked them) but about a year ago Yards took over. There standards are their on tap (IPA, ESA, Philly Pale, etc) while the stuff made locally can range from serious to "dumbed down lowest-common-denominator beers".
Back to the question at hand, North Carolina is replete with pretty good #2s. Better than Bennigan's, less flair than Applebees, but not that far off the beaten path. I do believe that more brewpubs would like to experiment, but find it hard to stray too far from formula when 99% of the crowd is looking for fish and chips.
Thankfully, the beers produced by these traditional microbrewpubs tends to stay local and is of very high quality. Foothills in Winston-Salem, Natty Greene's in Greensboro and Carolina Brewery in Chapel Hill are some of my local favorites.
I am really ready for brewery/restaurants to take on more risks with their food.
re: peetoteeto
I'm glad that you mentioned food and brewpubs. As I stated earlier in my opinion the "chain" brewpubs tend to have the best food and decor of the three mentioned. But for truly outstanding food (and atmosphere) which is oriented more toward beer I go to gastropubs or belgian bars. No (or very few) brewpubs that I've been to aspire to present food equaling that which I've had at gastros or belgians. They tend to go for more of the standard fare and "family friendly" menu at most brewpubs. But as I also stated in the OP this is a cool option to have as a beer lover if you are out trying to please folks with a less than adventurous food tastes.
re: Chinon00
In NJ, both Triumph and J.J. Bittings had very upscale "eclectic" menus when they first opened in the mid-90's. (How upscale? Well, this blue collar, road food aficionado said, "I don't even know what half of this stuff even *is*." when first reading their menus) and both, expectedly but somewhat to my disappointment, seemed to "dumb down" their menus to typical "pub grub" later (Triumph, being in Princeton and New Hope, a little less so). Not particularly an upscale dish, but I still miss the oyster po' boy at Triumph which seems to be only available occassionally (perhaps due to the seasonal nature of the seafood).
Also, the two, now unrelated, Basil T brewpubs both have predominately Italian menus, the Red Bank one tending towards the "upscale" segment of the market.
re: JessKidden
For me food at brewpub could range from casual to very upscale. It appears to me that casual food from any cuisine works with a brewery (Italian Osteria, Mexican Taqueria, English/American Pub Grub, French Bistro/Brasserie, German Brauhaus, etc.) But as the ethnic cuisine becomes more upscale it can seem forced to me. So IMHO I think that the food at any upscale cuisine brewpub should take on its own specific character.
i like the nanos as well. not a whole heckuva lot of any of the three types in central FL, unfortunately. locally (for me) i've been to spanish springs in the villages, orlando brewing partners in orlando (no food), TBBC in ybor and dunedin brewing in dunedin. used to have the mill in winter park but it closed down. shipyard's hub at OIA likewise.
i'd like to visit hoppers over in the tampa area, and saint sebastiaan in spring hill in the near future. also i think something is opening over in tarpon called 'saint somewhere' ? (no really, that's literally the name)
chinon00, compare your list to mine and feel my pain as you gloat.....on your way home with your next growler..... LOL
not locally, i've been to river city - jacksonville FL, jack of the wood - asheville NC, broad ripple brewing, oaken barrel, alcatraz and rock bottom - indianapolis (last 3 were prolly more like #2 or 3s),
Like MVNYC, my two favorite don't fit neatly in your categories. So call them category 1.5
They would be: McNeil's in Brattleboro, Vt. (bar snacks only) & The People's Pint Greenfield, Ma. (food menu) Both places brew extensively on the premises, have growlers and sell in bottle locally.
I love the Northhampton Brewery, in Mass. I guess it's a nano, as I have never seen their beers bottled anywhere. I have also never been disapointed by a meal there.
a BJ's opened up near me in St Pete Florida, tried it the other day thought the Porter and Stout were sickly sweet to my taste, the food was standard chain american bistro. I seriously doubt I will go back.

Introducing HandySpeech
Giving a voice to people without one
HandySpeech 4.0 is here!
With the local voice feature you do not need an internet connection to use HandySpeech! Of course, we recommend either WiFi or a cellular connection to take advantage of the best voices on the market, but with version 4.0 you will be able to communicate anywhere! Best of all, HandySpeech is smart enough to figure out whether an internet connection is available or not and use the appropriate settings.
Have we mentioned that all 13 languages are included in the new version for free?
Have we mentioned that all 13 languages are included in the new version for free?
The HandySpeech app is appropriate for individuals who have a speech disorder resulting from a vocal fold pathology (i.e., affecting the larynx). This includes individuals with oral and laryngeal cancers, motor speech disorders affecting the larynx and oral structures such as apraxia of speech, and patients who are placed on vocal rest due to recent surgery to treat vocal nodules or overuse of their voice. This app could also be useful for individuals with ALS and muscular dystrophy as long as they have enough motor control to write. This app will help to reduce the frustration and helplessness associated with the inability to talk.

Health officials: Brevard Co. woman dies of flu
Brevard County Health Department officials say a woman in her 30s has died of the flu.
Florida Today reports the woman died Sunday at Holmes Regional Medical Center in Melbourne.
Director Heidar Heshmati says two others - a pregnant woman in her 30s and a 62-year-old man - are on life support due to influenza. Heshmati says the woman refused to get the flu vaccination.
Last week, Brevard County health officials issued a report warning of an uptick in flue activity. They urged anyone over 6 months old to get the flu vaccine.
Heshmati did not release the names of woman who died, or the two patients on life support.

SAVOY, TX -- All Texas schools have put in plan since the Columbine shooting more than a decade ago.
Savoy superintendent Brian Neal is doing his dissertation on rural school security. He said there's no way to completely stop something like this tragedy, but they're doing everything they can to prevent it.
Neal said school designs are now more open and visible.
Most schools only have one entrance - which is monitored, he said.
He said Savoy schools have frequent lock-down drills, and are always on their guard.
"We are at a higher sense of alert now than we were - everyday. Just because of the world that we live in and the things that we see in the news," he said. "Something little like a car you don't recognize on your parking lot."
Future generations will take security into account when building new schools, Neal said. An "environmentally" secure design, like open spaces, smaller windows and more visibility will help deter criminal activity.

Best Uses
I use the bike on paved trails and streets where it is very good.The 24 speeds give me a lot of different gearing which I use and need.The brakes are also very good which is essential on street use.The lightweight is also great in many ways,can lift the bike easily and get up to speed quickly.
Best Uses
This is my first real bike, having ridden cheap ones off and on in the past. It was well worth the investment of a few more dollars! The seat is a little hard at first, but I've gotten used to it. It really moves on the paved trails around Northern Virginia, much more efficient than my wife's hybrid-comfort bike. I've taken it numerous times through DC and have had a blast riding! It's a little rough on gravel roads, though. I wouldn't spend too much time off the pavement with this one.
Best Uses
I am 53 years old and I use this great bike every day. I bought it and a Verve2 for my wife. She likes the front shocks. I love the smoothness and handling of the 7.2 and it really does have the power to flatten out the hills and makes it a joy to ride. It shifts gears so easily and the brakes are great also. I really can't say anything bad about this wonderful work of art. Our bikes are 2013 models and we have over 2000 miles on them in a year!! We both have lost over 40 lbs. each and aren't stopping. We love our TREKS and I've even gotten into watching the Trek Factory Racing teams at races around the world. Long live TREK and Bontrager!!
Best Uses
I told the salesperson that I wanted a bike that I could ride to work in the morning and then take out on a 15 mile fitness ride after work. This bike fits that to a tee. The only problem to date (I have had the bike for two months now)was on the very first day, the front shifter indicator broke. Not a real big deal, just the little red tab that lets you now which front sprocket you are on broke lose. Shifter works fine, but on the first day!!?
Best Uses
I was sitting on the fence for a few months about buying a bike in general. I was a runner( a few half marathons a year), but it was becoming more difficult for me to keep up that pace. During the hot humid mid Atlantic summers, running would completely drain me. Not to mention the toll I was beginning to feel in my legs. Realizing I wasn't exercising much at all, I decided to give biking a try. I did quite of bit of research into the style of bike I wanted and went to a bike shop to try out the 7.2 FX. I didn't want to spend to much on my first bike just in case I didn't care for biking. I even considered getting a bike from a department store. After trying one, I realized it was worth the few extra dollars to get something nice. I have not been disappointed. In less than 3 weeks I have already ridden over 200 miles and have enjoyed it. I do not feel drained after exercising and am actually refreshed. I would ride more if I had the time. I look forward to my rides and am motivated to exercise again. For someone looking for an alternative to running. I would strongly recommend getting this bike. The only draw back is the seat was uncomfortable at first. But the more I ride and aftere a few minor adjustments it has become less of an issue.
Best Uses
Gives us the freedom to get out in the world and get a good workout!
Best Uses
To and from work and i now understand the difference between a mountain bike and a hybrid my average speed on the road has doubled you just fly along. I had all the components to upgrade to 9 speed on the rear and really was worth it as there is not such a big jump between gears when you want it just that little easier or little bit harder. I also added bar ends that have made it even more comfortable. Love this bike but still prefer to hammer through the bush on my trek 4500 MTB
Best Uses
I really like this bike. It is my first bike in years, but I am quite impressed. It is fairly light weight and has a smooth ride. I know it can be changed, but the grips are a bit too gel like for my taste. My initial test drive didn't realize it, but they become slick and somewhat uncomfortable on longer rides. The gears and overall mechanical feel of the bike are amazing. I went with the 7.2 over the 7.1 for the more modern and light design.
Best Uses
Ive been running 4 times a week for a while now but wanted to add biking to the mix since the running eventually starts to take its toll on your knees and stuff. I bought this Trek after owning one many years back that I liked. This is a great bike and im very hapy with it. The components are excellent, everything works smoothly, and the bike is fast. Its a quality bike all around. I feel the 7.2 model is worth the upgrades over the base model. You get a better crank, better pedals, and I believe a better derailer. The only negatives would be the uncomfortable stock seat and the fact that the bike is supposedly a hyrid but I can tell you right now that off road it would NOT work well at all! It doesnt take bumps that great on the street and really jars you if you hit a bump or whatever. Its a stiff bike and frame. Strong, but not very giving. So, IMO this is a street bike for pavement and thats it. Otherwise, I LOVE my Trek! Highly recommended for pavement or fine gravel use.
Best Uses
I bike around 22 miles a day for my commute to work and ever since I got Trek 7.2 there was no looking back . I was kinda worried initially whether it would carry me well as I'm on the heavier side.But the bike is absolutely fine with all those Seat might be a little bit uncomfortable in the beginning but will blend in after a while Loved the light weight of the bike.This is my first after very long time This is the best bike I have rode in my entire life Even though i got a non disc version the brake is absolutely a life saver as it did save my thrice already (which made me write this review) I can't think of anything that is not good about it absolutely loving it and this just made me love the whole idea of biking around

American ISP flashes phantom bandwidth cap
5 Gigs not enough
Ha you should see our telecommunications in South Africa. With good old Telkom, on average the packages are between 2 and 3 gigs. Then after wards international traffic is down but local is uninterrupted. (at a fee of course)
The Moderatrix will see you now
Just one question
Who's your daddy?
NY street-cleaning truck swallows dog
Seriously people!
Wow the human race is more screwed up than I thought. All you people who think its funny, wonder how you would all feel if your kid (yes animals are like children to some people) or even your pet if this happened to.
OpenSolaris still has some Linux copying to do
Hope so
I still signed up for a free Opensolaries live CD a few weeks ago. Well after playing with it for a while, I could not get my Audigy and Network drivers to work. No matter what I did.
Sun is going to have to do a hell of a lot if they want it to compete with already well established versions of linux.
Until then, I shall be using my Vista and Ubuntu
Firefox record breaker sets the date
You people seriously
Some people I do not understand, you guys complain how much you hate IE. Then now you are complaning how much you dislike Firefox.
Microsoft needs Windows Home Server test dummies
It's about time
Well its about bladdie time they fixed up Home Server. Its even more buggy than Vista before SP1.
American auto dealer offers free handguns
I'd take the gun
What happens when Ford meets the wild west? Personally I'd take the gun, that way you could just whip out your gun when you going to fill up. Easy way to get ones money worth.
The bird, yeah if you charge me for the fuel
Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 delayed
Who's surpried
Since Vista was 5 years late, who expects the service pack this decade anyway
Yes! It's the vacuum cleaner mouse!
We need this why?
Now if it could make coffee fine, play music (gimic) fine but suck. Unless its supposed to suck some one who well "ahem"
Paris cause, well c'mon she's good at sucking
Swedes to probe cow-belch threat to planet
Ok, reseach starts with which nations has best legs. Why do people get plastered at parties. NOW THIS? Who on earth allocates this research?
Paris cause she's always ready to try new postions (I mean things)
Time Warner moots billing based on bandwidth usage
Quite right
As Philip said, you guys have it easy,,, here our DSL prices are insane and of cause the service has its moments when its slower than dial up. To make it even worse, there are many areas where we can not even get DSL
@ Philip where in SA are you? Me in Western Cape
Mexico and Africa to become malware hotspots
Living in South Africa
Ok, now this coming from someone who lives in South Africa, yeah sure our broadband sucks, (I only get 2GB cap a month at 384kbps); however if those mallware scum (I mean makers) really want to cause us trouble. They will FIND A WAY TO DO IT!
Heathrow 777 crash flattens servers
Come on!
What ever the cause of the crash, at least most of the people survived (or everyone); I don't know about you all but I would not have been able to accomplish what those pilots did)
Hackers go after Excel
S#it happens
Lets be honest no piece of software is perfect, whether MS or not. Personally I think if
other office applications were used as much as MS Office, then there would be more known issues.
Poisoned MySpace page masquerades as Windows Update
Stick to topic
Gotta say who ever came up with that one, has some skill. Throw away the keys!
*Off topic rant*; why is it that most people can not stay on topics with these comments. I mean seriously don't the admins read this stuff. So then do not complain when an article does not have an IT angle, cause when it does your comments are off topic.
Welcome to the El Reg bumper demographic survey
Good old South African here
Personally I really love El Reg, and of cause the humor thats added to everything. My really only complaint is when people still to this day ask "where's the Paris Hilton angle"
I swear I will scream!
IBM to shove ads onto DVDs
Yeah and I love anydvd
Personally I feel that a FEW non intrusive adertisments are acceptable. But when you are watching TV for an hour and the show is about 30minutes while rest is ads. That is going to far. Now on DVD's, give me a break, do you really want to pay for something and still get ads with it.
Hell no! If this happens, hello streaming internet and of cause hello anydvd!
Xbox girl-on-girl game upsets Singapore
Am I missing something?
Surely thats not it? I mean if it is.... Then dang
Plastic police to enforce London bag ban?
In South Africa
Well in South Africa all that they did, was charge people for each and every plastic bag. Sure in the beginning people complained but many got used to it.. I presume less people are using plastic bags or just continue to use the same ones
OLPC offers one-for-two to generous North Americans
Wouldn't it be better?
So much for $100 laptop eh. Anyway if the company can afford to give one to the needy and one to the donor. Then wouldn't it make more sense to rather donate 2 laptops instead of one to needy children. Instead of giving one to the donor (who I doubt if they can afford to donate would really want a PC like the OLPC)
US man blasts stubborn wheelnut with shotgun
Guess no body told him
I often wonder why products often ship with warnings that are so obvious (example do not use your BBQ in doors) but I am guessing that this guys "SHOTGUN" did not come with a warning.
Attention do not shoot objects at close range, due to the facts bullets can and do ricochet'. He will probably end up suing the manufacture now.
Fedora 8 spins into action
Fedora 8 looks impressive
To be honest I have never been fond of Fedora but I must admit Fedora 8 looks very promising. Now if only my damn surround sound would work on it. My personal favorite addition is pulse audio. Similar to what Windows has when you can adjust the volume for each application individually.
Orbital tourism industry holds spacewear fashion show
Now I have seen it all
Ah, oh well even if it would take an entire life time to reach another planet etc. At least everyone will have fashion sense. *Hides*
Winona Ryder to suckle Spock in Star Trek XI
I could ask whats the IT angle but...
Well asking whats the IT angle I guess would be plain pointless but another Star Trek movie. I dunno hey, part of me thinks it could be pretty good of cause its never good to milk an old cow
Six-month hangover for 60-pint Scotsman
Stupid question here but how come didn't he end up in a coma?
Microsoft invades 'city of friendly people'
Quite right
@Dale I must agree with you. As you say lots of MS products at the start seem to be pretty crappy but after a few months/years they do seem to improve. I personally think Windows Vista is the perfect example of this. Anyway back to the subject any ideas on how many more centers MS is going to build?
Quacks probe brain-boosting tech ethics
Talking about the morals
Thats true that "Flowers for Algernon" is fiction. My feeling is (no not saying that its right, just a personal thing) if we ban people in sports for using steroids before a race. Then would it be unethical to pop a pill before writing a test, etc?
Medical science and the human race
Pretty sad that the human race is not happy with the abilities our brains have to offer. If people are going to start messing around I suggest they read "Flowers For Algernon"
Mum sends stripper to teenage son's school
School will never be the same again
I have to know, the teacher stood there watching for ages. Until the boy was supposed to rub cream on the stripper. Didn't she notice the woman moving around in her underwear????
Wish I had that at school

In the year 2000, (insert Conan O'Brien intro) I was working at Restaurant Daniel in Manhattan and applied for the Gilbert Le Coze James Beard Scholarship. The winner received a one year apprenticeship at a tiny little restaurant called Alain Ducasse, in Monaco. The applicants got widdled down and the finalists' last interview was lunch at Le Bernardin, with of course Eric Ripert. Not with Eric Ripert cooking, but with him sitting right next to you dining. I was one of the two finalists. In what I'm sure will be a shock to you all, I was the runner-up.
I am, quite honestly, much more of a seafood guy than Hosea. I completed a fellowship at my alma mater, the CIA, in the fish kitchen. I've put to rest and cooked thousands of lobsters. I've filleted just as many salmon. And yes, I've pinned down eel, and cut everything from Opah to Shad. My first chef position was at a restaurant that had a fish tank where a poisonous blowfish resided. When that fish passed away, I cut it. Just to know I'd done it.
All of that being said, my meal that afternoon at Le Bernardin is one of, if not, THE most memorable meal of my life. And I eat a lot. I remember a raw dish of mackerel like the first time I kissed my wife. And I had the same physical reaction probably. I was just stumped. I thought it was a trick. It had to be hamachi I thought. Mackerel is strong. A bloody, stinky, pig of a fish, best left for a smokey grill. At Le Bernardin, mackerel is Miss America (who I met this weekend BTW).
The chefs get a chance to experience Le Bernardin themselves. They are all in awe, as they should be. Except for Jamie, who gives us that Top Chef cliche line, "It's just not my kind of food." This carries some weight when the challenge is flipping eggs at a greasy spoon or making an appetizer from a vending machine. It's just silly when you're at a three-Michelin star legendary restaurant.
