… with his typewriter. Yes, it turns out the Twain-man couldn't quite untangle his feelings about the revolutionary device. Mr. Clemens certainly made history when he wrote Tom Sawyer: it was the first-ever typed manuscript to be submitted for publication. But though he loved his typewriter, he couldn't bring himself to offer a public endorsement for Remington, the manufacturer, as we see in this letter. (more…)

An Ode to the Lovely List February 28, 2012
I have a confession to make: I absolutely love lists. Writing them, reading them, going over them in my head – call it a compulsion, or a hobby, or just a way of life, but lists are essential to my daily functioning. They may be the simplest form of writing, but they're probably my favorite. If you were to make a list of my favorite types of writing, you might even say they'd be #1. Whether it's prioritizing my homework for the weekend, or reading top 10's online, there's just something about lists that always gets my attention. (more…)
Overlooked Writing Genres That Are Secretly Awesome September 27, 2011
Want to get the creative juices flowing, but not interested in writing the Great American Novel or being the next e.e. cummings? Why not a try a frequently-derided yet secretly awesome writing medium? Here are five somewhat unconventional ways to hone your skills and share your art with the world. (more…)
Creative Prompts for Writing July 13, 2011
When you're running short of ideas for your writing, there are a few methods via which you can try to get over the proverbial block that sits between you and your goal of writing. You can ask your friends, you can draw from something you're already reading, you can sit outside and wait until you eavesdrop on an interesting conversation, so on and so forth. But one of the time-tested and age-old methods is, of course, to seek inspiration from a writing prompt.
I had every intention of writing a blogpost with a list of good resources for writing prompts online. I wanted to say "if you're running dry of ideas, go here or here or here and here, and they should give you ample fuel for your writing drive."
And this search was spurned by need. As some of you may know, I intend to participate in Camp NanoWriMo this summer, but I have not yet been able to start. Why? Lack of inspiration. So what better a topic for a blogpost than offering sources that I myself am in desperate need of. Right? Right? Ehhh.
I know I frequently offer websites to you all that I think will be useful to writers. But today I found one that I myself am going to use, because it does something for the serious writer that I used to get from fanfiction.net when I was in middle school–it allows you to post your work, and receive feedback from peers.
Camp is in Session July 6, 2011
Hey there again, writers. I know I've already lobbied for the awesomeness that is Camp NaNoWriMo, but let me give you a breakdown of the tools that are available now that the site is live and you can actually log in and all that.
If you're unfamiliar with NaNoWriMo in general, the typical tools available involve a word count tracker which shows your progress over time and in comparison to your ultimate goal of 50,000 words. This site seems to be a little bit less streamlined, but I don't really mind because everything is inundated with a kitschy summer camp theme. And for someone like me who never actually went to camp as a child and never lived out the desire to be the sassy, leather jacket-wearing Lindsay Lohan in The Parent Trap, a summer camp-themed writing website sounds pretty damn awesome.
Agents, Contests, Jobs, and Journals: Resources for Writers June 29, 2011
Sifting through the clutter of literary contests posted online or catalogued in different publications can be a very daunting task for writers who wish to submit their writing for publication.
I've known writers who have sifted through the different databases of contests and journals and fellowships, as well as the bible for writers, The Writer's Market, and created their own rankings of contests and journals. But when combined with the notion that writers submit to many of these contests and journals hoping for acceptance but expecting rejection, and the fact that a 99% rejection rate would be considered a success, it can make for a downright horrid experience that anyone other than masochists would prefer to avoid.
But there is help.
Camp NaNoWriMo June 22, 2011
Hello there writers. For those of you who don't know, NaNoWriMo—National Novel Writing Month—is an annual challenge for writers to write a novel (or 50,000 words of one) in the span of one month.
The traditional NaNoWriMo happens every year over the month of November. However, the good folks at NaNoWriMo are doing something new this year—Camp NaNoWriMo. In the words of Lindsey Grant, one of NNWM's fabulous admins:
"This camp-themed version of National Novel Writing Month enables participants to write a novel in a month other than November. You bring the words and we'll meet you there with the encouragement, tracking tools, and a tent!"

Highways in southern West Virginia are expected to be clogged with traffic during the Boy Scouts of America's 2013 National Jamboree.
The Department of Transportation says traffic will be heaviest on the West Virginia Turnpike, U.S. 19 and State Route 16.
The jamboree will be held July 15 through July 24 at the Summit Bechtel Reserve in Fayette County.
Buses will take scouts daily to service projects in nine counties and to whitewater activities in the New River Gorge.
The heaviest congestion is expected July 15 and July 24. Heavy congestion also is expected from 5 p.m. to midnight July 20 when a concert is held.
West Virginia State Police Superintendent Col. Jay Smithers says motorists should use common sense and be courteous while traveling near the jamboree.

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — State Sen. Frank Simpson called Wednesday for stepped-up scrutiny of Oklahoma's veterans centers after learning that seven workers at the Norman Veterans Center have been fired.
The workers allegedly took money from the estate of veteran resident Bill Marshall, who died in 2010.
It is believed that Marshall's estate was worth in excess of $200,000.
Meanwhile, termination notices received by The Transcript through an Open Records request reveal the names of the seven employees fired after they all "received money from the patient's estate," according to the notices provided.
Those fired were Rose Ballinger, Glen Williams, Darold Lairson, Sue Pace, Tracy Wilkinson, Janice Mooneyham and Ruth Johnson.
Bollinger's notice disclosed that she had been named as executor of his estate and continues to serve in that capacity.
Simpson, R-Ardmore, said Wednesday that Korean War veteran Marshall "must have been a kind-hearted man."
"It is sad. It is against the law," the senator said.
Shane Faulkner, spokesman for the Oklahoma Department of Veterans Affairs, said Tuesday, "I can confirm the seven individuals at issue were terminated from employment with the ODVA, effective Sept. 9."
Faulkner said the agency is prohibited by law from revealing the names of those seven in connection with this case. However, their letters of termination are public record.
Sen. Simpson pointed to a new law passed by the Legislature, stating that someone giving care to nursing home residents could not accept more than $1 from a patient.
Norman center resident Mike Simmons said he was well-acquainted with Marshall. He said a veterans center staff member had been named executor of Marshall's estate and also had paid his bills.
"She knew how much money was in his bank account," Simmons said.
Simpson is planning Senate committee meetings this fall so lawmakers can delve into the myriad of problems at the centers. Meetings are scheduled for Oct. 22 and Nov. 12 at the state Capitol.
Simmons said lawmakers need to scrutinize staffing at the seven veterans centers in Oklahoma, looking at increasing pay while providing better training for employees.
Simpson retired as a Navy chief warrant officer in 1988 after serving for 26 years.
The senator said there should be more military veterans holding positions at the centers.
"One problem I have is there are too many internal promotions," he said. There need to be "some fresh eyes" among the staff, he said.
He also questioned membership on the state War Veterans Commission, which oversees the centers, noting that several military service organizations are excluded from representation.
Meanwhile, the ODVA received information last year about alleged exploitation of Marshall and launched an internal investigation.
Criminal charges could be filed against the workers.
Cleveland County District Attorney Greg Mashburn said he is aware of the investigation, but the ODVA hasn't presented any information to the DA.
"There might be something there, but it is too early to tell," Mashburn said.

Michael Thomas, a senior at Morehouse College, wishes the college he loves so much would find another way to balance its financial books.
"I think this could have an impact on my education," Thomas said.
Morehouse, one of the most respected historically black colleges, said it must furlough all staff and faculty for five days this academic year.
Enrollment dropped by about 125 students, because fewer students can get loans because of stricter federal standards.
"It's definitely tough paying for an education when you're student and you're only making so much," Thomas said.
Morehouse faces a budget gap of more than $3 million.
Robert Franklin, the college's president, said that even he will be forced to take those furlough days.
"Furloughing faculty and staff is a last resort measure," Franklin said, adding the budget cuts will help save money "in the mid six figures."
The college would make up the remaining shortfall by cutting vacant positions and putting off some maintenance projects.
Franklin said the cuts won't affect the quality of the student's education.
"We believe the faculty and staff are committed to excellence at Morehouse College," Franklin said.
Franklin said the budgets would not include layoffs.
Staff members will take their furlough days during spring break to minimize the impact on students, Franklin said.

Declaring "I'd prefer to go in a body bag than to be handcuffed," a Monroe County man wanted on a probation violation refused to cooperate with Bushkill Township police early Sunday and had to be shot several times with a Taser, according to court records.
Police found Scott A. Bender Jr., who turned 21 on Thursday, in dark clothing walking along Belfast Road near Jacobsburg Road. When he was finally in custody, he and three township officers had to be treated for injuries.
In a criminal complaint, township Officer Jacob Abel said he got a call from an off-duty township officer, Nathan Correll, about the man in dark clothing who turned out to be Bender. Abel, accompanied by Correll and township Officer Mandy Lohman, said the man had a "dazed appearance," had trouble answering questions and was "very agitated."
When asked to identify himself, he said, "I'm an original." When asked where he was going, he said to his aunt's house. "She just lives down the street. I'm already sitting in the living room watching TV," the complaint said.
Once he identified himself as Scott Bender -- his address is Long Mountain Road, Gilbert -- police discovered a warrant out of Monroe County for a probation violation. The original charge was receiving stolen property, the complaint said.
Bender ran from the officers after being told he was under arrest. The officers caught him, but Bender continued to struggle. At one point, Abel's glasses were knocked from his face and were damaged.
When the officers couldn't "substantially control" Bender, Lohman used a Taser X26 drive stun. After "multiple drive stuns," Bender submitted and the officers were able to handcuff him.
Bender and the officers received medical treatment from township EMS at the township police station.
Bender was charged with resisting arrest, criminal mischief, disorderly conduct and public drunkenness. He was arraigned later Sunday morning by on-duty District Judge Diane Marakovits of Northampton and committed to Northampton County Prison in lieu of $25,000 bail.

Burris Remains Defiant With Durbin
by Todd Beeton, Tue Feb 24, 2009 at 01:11:52 PM EST
Illinois' two US Senators, Dick Durbin and Roland Burris, had what sounds like an awfully awkward meeting today. The short version sounds a little something like this:
DURBIN: Resign.
BURRIS: No.
Lynn Sweet has a more complete play by play:
Durbin said he told Burris he would not support his candidacy in 2010. Durbin said he asked Burris if he was going to run in 2010 and Burris said he has not decided. [...]
In recapping their discussion, Durbin said, "I told him it would be extremely difficult for him to be successful in a primary or a general election under the circumstances.
Burris was under some pressure, Durbin said; Burris' legal fees were "hundreds and thousand of dollars."
"I told him that under the circumstances I would consider resigning if I were in his shoes. He said he would not resign and that was his conclusion," Durbin said.
Sweet reported earlier today that a source had told her that Burris has in fact decided not to run in 2010. That may have been premature. This guy doesn't look like he's dropping out of anything.

Most garlic presses can press garlic. The beauty of this one is that it is so easily cleaned. Fine product!
The right tool makes the job of mincing garlic so easy! This garlic press is the last one you'll ever need to buy. Easy to use and a breeze to clean. It's dishwasher safe as well.
The only thing I found that I don't like is some of the garlic squirts "backwards" into the press and it's hard to get out of the hollow handle "tray". I've been a die hard Zyliss fan but decided to try this one and LOVE how easy this one is to clean. It presses large cloves easily, no need to peel and it's comfortable in my hand. Haven't had it long so not sure of its staying power.
Well worth the money. Minces very fine & is very smooth to use.
Great product. Even "mince". No need to peel cloves. Easy to clean. Sturdy.
The garlic press works great in mincing through garlic cloves in no time, fits comfortably in my hand, and is easy to use.
Always wanted an awesome garlic press....and this version by Kuhn Rikon is IT. Works like a dream in your hand, produces perfect crushed garlic and cleans like a dream. Very pleased to have this weighty piece in my drawer!
It lived up to its billing as the best press according to "Cook's Illustrated." It works very well for fresh ginger as well. A bit of the pricey side and not as easy as some to clean, but all in all, worth it.
I was hesitant to spend that much money on a garlic press, but it's by far the best one I've ever used. To make cleaning easy, do it right away or stick it in water right after you're done using it.
I have gone through several garlic presses, with handles breaking, the press mechanisms breaking, or the "cleaning" features falling off. Ihave not been happy since the one I got 13 years ago that was overused to death that just fell apart. I think it was an Oxo brand one, but I could not find a replacement. I tried 4 presses in the past 2 years and none did a very good job of pressing garlic.
With this Kuhn Rikon brand garlic press, there is no need to peel the cloves, and it is effortless to squeeze! For those of you that need to use two hands to get your current presses, switch to the best! It might cost more than your normal press, but this one works like you wouldn't believe, and I don't evision having to replace it for many many many years! It is top quality and is an amazing kitchen tool!!!
A bit pricey but it works great! Love it!
I purchased this garlic press after Cooks Illustrated rated it the best. Its ergonomic design makes pressing even the largest, toughest clove of garlic a breeze. The perforated metal plate through which the garlic is pressed is hard to clean. It would have been nice to have a mechanism to "reverse press" against this plate to allow the fibrous garlic residue to be easily removed.
Don't overload this gem it gets a little messy. Otherwise it does an incredible job. I have two other presses I won't be using.
To get top quality you have to willing to pay for it. This garlic press will last forever. Works great for cracking pistachio shells.
does what it is supposed to do-
prefer other models that are coated aluminum but they don't last long is washed in dishwasher. I like the stainless steel material of this model that can go in dishwasher
Best Garlic press i ever owned,and i have owned a few.
easy to clean, very heavy duty, easy to press,need little force!
It is easy to use and easy to clean. I have broken several presses over the years. This one is sturdy and effective. I love it!
This is the best I've ever used but time will tell how it holds up. It looks very very sturdy so I expect it will have a long life.

TAIMANE: Her name means "diamond" in Samoan and perfectly reflects the different facets of her nature. Whether delicately finger-picking through Bach or radically ripping through Led Zeppelin, Taimane has the ability to morph genres – from classical to rock to flamenco – and stretch her instrument far beyond the familiar melodies of Hawai`i, where she grew up.
Among Taimane's 'ukulele teachers turned admirers are Roy Sakuma and Jake Shimabukuro. When Don Ho caught wind of the talented teen, he invited her to join him as part of his venerable variety show at the Waikiki Beachcomber, further fueling Taimane's desire to perform for and connect with audiences.
In addition to performing her own distinctive versions of well-known pieces, Taimane weaves in original compositions that are as far ranging as her musical tastes. Her breakout CD, 'Ukulele Dance features Bach's "Tocatta," Lalo Schifrin's "Mission Impossible Theme," and pieces she wrote for the planet Neptune and the Moon, as part of her series on the solar system.
With the fierceness of a rocker, the grace of a dancer, and the pageantry of a performance artist, Taimane and her music are wowing ever-larger audiences. She lights up rooms wherever she goes, sparkling like the diamond that she is. Learn More
Grand Ukulele
Jake Shimabukuro's highly anticipated follow up to his last record, 2011's "Peace Love Ukulele", which topped Billboard's World Albums chart. Shimabukuro describes recording the album as a "truly magical experience for me. I'm just excited." All the tracks on the album (a mix of original songs, as well as covers) were played and recorded live. "There were absolutely no overdubs," notes Shimabukuro. "Bringing all these people together, and everyone brings their own experience, their own background, their own interpretation, their own spirit, and love and passion for music."
Produced by Alan Parsons, assistant engineer of the Beatles "Abbey Road" and Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of The Moon." Orchestration for the CD was done by Kip Winger, and it's a real treat. The album will not only take Jake to the next level, but is poised to redefine the Ukulele itself. Jake's version of "Over The Rainbow" is completely "over the top" and his cover version of "Rolling In The Deep" is incredible.

Michael Buble's first full-length Christmas album is old-fashioned in the best possible sense. He will be featured in an NBC Christmas TV special in December, and this collection does sound like the soundtrack to a classic holiday production. There is a bit of swing here, contemporary pop there, and a few special guests sprinkled around. Christmas is the top new holiday collection for 2011 and will appeal to the broadest possible audience as soundtrack to your Christmas celebrations or simply to accompany holiday decorating or giftwrapping.
Michael Buble Reworking Christmas Classics
Michael Buble reworks a wide range of Christmas classics here in his lightly swinging, pop standard style. However, one of the true standouts is his version of Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You." The Motown influences of the original are stripped out in favor of a traditional, keyboard-based pop ballad treatment. The result is another taste of Michael Buble as contemporary pop singer delivering a surprising amount of emotional intensity.
"Silent Night" showcases just how simply beautiful Michael Buble's vocal delivery can be. The opening "It's Beginning To Look a Lot Like Christmas" will please long-term Michael Buble fans as will the gender reversal on "Santa Baby (in this case 'buddy')." Michael Buble will bring out a smile if not a few good-natured chuckles while you listen.
Solid Guest List
As one would expect on this type of Christmas album, there is a solid short list of three guest artists. First up is the English-Italian trio the Puppini Sisters. They collaborate on a hot swinging version of "Jingle Bells." The holiday spirit positively sparkles here.
The second guest artist is Shania Twain. She steps completely out of the country realm to croon along with Michael Buble on "White Christmas." It is a superstar Canadian duet, and fans of both artists will likely enjoy the pair.
Finally, Latin star Thalia joins Michael Buble for what may be a surprise to listeners. They deliver a grand closing production of "Feliz Navidad." Chorus and strings join the singers and classical guitar in a sweeping performance that provides a pleasing conclusion to this outstanding new holiday album.
Top Tracks On 'Christmas'
- "Jingle Bells" featuring the Puppini Sisters
- "All I Want For Christmas Is You"
- "Santa Baby"
- "Silent Night"
- "Feliz Navidad" duet with Thalia
Michael Buble Delivers a New Holiday Classic
Make room among your holiday purchases for some new Christmas music, and put Michael Buble at the top of your list. Most pop music fans will not be disappointed regardless of their favorite genre of music. For those familiar with Michael Buble and long-term fans, this is the type of Christmas collection you would expect with a few surprises tucked in. If you have not yet discovered him, or turned away from his delivery of pop standards, this is an album to check out. You will hear more versatility than you expected and a winning holiday spirit.

There are three things I expect from a pair of safety glasses:
The first one is easy; there are hundreds of models of safety glasses on the market and all must meet ANSI Z87.1 standards. Gateway's Flight series eyewear meets the standard, which includes ratings for resistance to blunt impact, dust, splashes, UV rays, and just about anything else that could damage your eyes.
Comfort is more difficult to come by, but clearly, some glasses are more comfortable than others. It's easy to make the comparison because I have a bin full of free glasses that came with various nail guns and power tools. If I had to guess I'd say the conversation about which glasses to include with those tools went something like this:
And unfortunately, many safety glasses feel like they cost 2 cents a pair. That's not the case with Flight series glasses, which have unusual cushioned wings at the temples. More flexible and rubbery than the hard plastic used in the rest of the frame, the wings and temple pieces grip your head without creating pressure points. The nose piece is soft rubber and there's no bottom frame to block your vision.
How comfortable are these glasses? I've had a couple of pairs (clear and tinted) for over a year and I seek them out whenever I need to wear safety glasses—even if it means searching my shop.
As for the dork factor, these glasses don't have it. They look like sunglasses or the kind of safety glasses you would use for sports.
Flight safety eyewear is available with multiple lens options, including clear, gray, amber, and mirror. They can be purchased singly or in boxes of ten. I've seen them online for as little as $4 a pair.

3.9/5 rDev -0.8%
look: 4.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 5
Poured from a 330ml bottle into a pint glass. Emerges nearly pitch black with a tiny bit of cocoa nibs highlights around the very edges. A creamy, slightly tan head forms and remains about 1/2 inch in size during the entire consumption of the beer.
Aroma is quite fruity with a minimal amount of roasty, stout like characters. This seems to fall a bit short on the export front. Slightly metallic. Very porter-like.
Flavor resembles the aroma. Minimal roastiness with a pronounced fruitiness and a touch of burnt chocolate. Raw chocolate and raisins. Again, more like a porter.
Creamy mouthfeel and finishes a touch dry. This is perhaps the most drinkable 8% beer I have had. I would have guessed around 5% abv. No alcohol in flavor, aroma or tastes. Quite drinkable and enjoyable, but far from great.

look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 5 | overall: 4
Pours black with brown tins and a dark brown head. The smell is sweet with smoky flavor, and heavy malt tones. The taste starts malty and smoky and finishes sweet. The ABV is hard to detect. The finish is malty with a hint of the smoky flavor. The mouthfeel is great, milky smooth, not super heavy-just a medium mouthfeel, great flavor balance, and a perfect carbonation for a stout. The drinkability is nice, the flavor can keep you coming back. This one is definitely worth checking out.

I bought a bottle of this on impulse at a bar that sells beer from around the world. I'd never heard of this brew, but I decided to give Sri Lanka a try.
This blew me away. It has a nice chocolatey flavor, but it's thick and smooth at the same time. It's strong enough that you can only have 2 without getting plastered.
I just bought a six pack from a high end liquor store for 9.99. Imagine, swill sells for about 2 dollars less. This will be on frequent rotation in my fridge. A great find!!!!

3.85/5 rDev -2%
look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4
It's a stout, so two guesses if it was a dark, almost black in color with a tan head. (Hint: Yes.)
There's some chocolate, coffee and raisin in the nose with a hint of floral hops. Definitely a roasty aroma overall.
It tastes like it smells with the chocolate and coffee and dried fruit, some molasses, but with a very subtle creamy ripe banana taste to it. There is just the right amount of hop bitterness to keep the sweetness from being cloying. There's bit of a smokey flavor to it like you would find in a porter. Overall it's a bit sweeter than I am used to in a stout, but it works. And if this beer really is 8% I for one can't taste it.
It's light bodied and it may not be the most complex stout ever made, but that could well work in its favor as it's really quite enjoyable.

4/5 rDev +1.8%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
A: Pours a dark black color, no light, only a faint brown twinge to it. Provides a two finger brown head.
S: Lots of burnt and roasted malts. Espresso/coffe and cocoa are the most predominant scents, with some dried fruit.
T: Just like the scents. The cocoa hits up front followed by some very faint dry fruit. The backend provides the coffee. The coffee is the backbone of this beer.
M: A decent about of carbonation, just about the right amount.
D: A really nice Stout. A moderate ABV makes this beer enjoyable.

look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4.5
Poured into a pint glass. Enjoyed while cleaning some old tools and things in my workshop.
A-Attractive shiny black beer. Dark tan head rose lusciously off the pour, then reduced slowly to a thin layer.
S-Chocolate is thick, roasted malt with it. Hints of dried fruits, maybe some dark berry aromas.
T-Chocolate and roasted malts appear and are quickly usurped by dark fruity esters. These then bow down to the returning biumverate of chocolate and roast. Finishes with a slight alcohol, hoppy and roasty.
M-Moderate-low carbonation, contributing a pleasant prikle on my tongue. Body is medium-full, feeling big and great, slick and almost chewey.
D-Pretty good. The first of many stronger and fuller stouts that I had ever tried, I am happy to find that I still thoroughly enjoy this brew.

3.68/5 rDev -6.4%
look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Poured this 625 ml bottle into a standard pint.
Appearance: Beer pours a deep jet black (no light was getting through) color with a mocha cherry creamy looking head. A standard pour yield a 2 finger head.
Smell: Heavy molasses smell mixed with dry candied fruit.
Taste: The beginning of a sip starts out with as previously mentioned sweet molasses that moves into prune undertones. Finally sweet dry fruit (apricots especially) round it out. Light amounts of alcohol while it was cold became very noticeable when warm.
Mouthfeel: Thick, smooth, creamy feel all around the mouth. Good for the style.
Drinkability: I could have had another 625 ml bottle afterwards but then I would have to try something lighter.
Final Thoughts - I have always wanted to try this stout and finally got to with the single bottle. Decent to purchase a single bottle every now and then however a six pack at the current price limits this one a bit for me.

A- Pours jet black opaque color with a creamy beige head that leaves nice lacing.
S- Smokey malt nose with aromas of bittersweet chocolate and coffee.
T- Strong roasted malt flavor with a blend of coffee. Some bitter chocolate can be detected in the finish along with a peppery smoked flavor.
M- Medium/full, smooth and creamy a bit oily though. Somewhat chewy and a lingering roasted aftertaste.
D- Not a bad brew, just nothing overly complex.

4.13/5 rDev +5.1%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5
Poured from a 650mL bottle into a pint glass.
Pours an opaque black, with a huge creamy mocha colored head. Great retention, good lacing.
Nose has a nice roasty quality, and sweet milk chocolate and fruit. Maybe even some light vanilla in there. It smells like a milk stout with a heavier roast profile.
Taste follows the nose. Sweet start, dark fruity and chocolate. There's a slight tinge of floral hops, and the sweetness gives way to a nice bitterness, from the hops and roast. Very good balance. The contrasting flavors work well together.
Body is lighter (medium) than expected for a stout, but it's very very smooth. Really soft creamy feel. The 8% never really makes itself known. This is one of the more drinkable stouts I've tasted.

Picked this up at the Liquor Loft in Tallahassee, FL.
Pours completely black with a two-finger dark tan head. The head recedes into a thin pancake on top leaving decent lacing.
Smells of roasted malts, molasses, and dark chocolate, in that order. As it warms the chocolate aromas intensify.
Tastes similar to how it smells. The roasted malt flavors are not quite as strong as the aroma led me to believe as they give way to molasses and dark chocolate flavors fairly quickly. The ending has a nice bitterness but also manages to leave a sweet malt aftertaste.
Mouthfeel is good. It's a bit on the thin side but still manages to go down smoothly.
Drinkability is good. I had no problem finishing the bottle and could have a few more, even with the 8% ABV.
Overall this is a very solid stout, comparable to a strong Milk Stout. Worth a shot.

look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5
Pours dark brown/black with a rbown frothy head, some fair lacing.
Deep roasted malt and dark dried fruit hints in the aroma. I got a good whiff of booze too.
Dark roasted malt, coffee grounds (burnt), some creamy/slightly sour edge in there -- maybe molasses or licorice - some dark fruit, bitter chocolate. With all of these things going on, still kinda run of the mill. Did not really get kicked in the face by the alcohol, but if you are looking for it, it is not hard to find.
Body was creamy and mouth coating.
Overall -- eh. Glad I tried it, not really blowing me away. It was a sipper for sure, but I'm glad I didn't have 5 more in the fridge. Just worth checking out, but one and done for me.

330 ml bottle, pouted into a standard pint glass. Tall fluffy mocha tan head, slow to recede. Leaves spidery rings on the glass with each sip. Color is almost black brown, with ruby/garnet highlights.
Smell is sweet chocolate mixed with chili pepper. Taste is a highly creamered coffee with bitter chocolate.
Mouthfeel is creamy, but the carbonation is a little too much. Solid stout.

look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 2.5 | overall: 2
As black as black gets. Completely eclipses any light on the other side of it. No color glow on the edges. I poured a 625 ml bottle into a tulip glass that produced a two-finger head that appeared as a thick and frothy tan. There is some pretty ringed lacing.
Pleasantly rustic, and a bit musty, but sweet with a strong mocha presence. The former is due to some spicey dark fruit notes and a little smokiness. The smell of alcohol is noticeable.
Interesting...I can't tell what kind of stout it's trying to be. The coffee/mocha aroma doesn't really translate through in the taste that much. There's a molasses sweetness that fades into a finish of bitter, dark roasted grain. There's even something else there at the end that just tastes foreign. Maybe it's that spice that I smelled. I know Sri Lanka is a mecca for spices.
A bit on the flat side, and finished wet and long.
I wouldn't drink more than one bottle, nor would I buy it again. But I enjoyed the bottle I had enough.
This beer looks and smells better than it tastes. But I felt that I would have enjoyed it more if I had a smokey aged cheese and artisan bread to go with it. It needs an edible companion.

A - black with a huge coffee colored head
S - Smells delicious - very sweet, chocolate malts. There is a nice balance of roasted malts as well. The most balanced smell to a stout I have had the pleasure of knowing.
T - the taste is great. This is pretty sweet upfront; some chocolate and caramel malts first. Next, I was hit with roasted malts, and some booze on the finish.
M - thin and leaves a cough syrup-like coating. The booze is decently hidden.
D - This is a pretty fantastic stout. I am glad this recently came to Missouri because I am going to be buying this frequently.

Bottle bought at the swedish Systembolaget.
Dark liquid with a rwo fingers thick foam.
Some malt, licorice and some notes of chocolate.
Malty, the licorice i caught in the smell stands back here for the chocolate. The alcohol is very well hidden.
A nice creamy mouthfeel.
I think the drinkability is nice when you think about the high ABV.
I was a bit surprised actually about this one, I didn't have high expectations but it was rather good! It will propably find it's way to my home again =)

look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 3
Appearance is good, a very dark brown and almost black hue with a nice crown of head that leaves some good lacing.
Smells very malty, molasses, chocolate, a hint of roasted malts. Something just slightly off, a slight sour smell.
Taste is good, but nothing outstanding here. This is a run of the mill stout that is good for its price. Surprisngly low on chocolate, I was waiting for it to hit and got nothing, instead you get a lot of cream and molasses. Again, good, but plain.
Mouth is a bit of a problem, the body is right on at thickness but it seemed way too bubbly for my stouty tastes.
Overall if I'm at a store and see a sixer of this next to a four pack of Great Lakes Blackout for the same price, I'm going to the GL every time. Just no reason to revisit this beer, though I can't find anything to say outwardly negative. Just nothing special.

This is one of my favorite beers that I have enjoyed for a number of years!
Appearance: Pours a deep black color with a coffee colored head
Smell: Sweet but I picked up a little hint of smoke as well
Taste: More mild than other strong stouts I have had before. Some sweet characteristics come through from start to finish
Mouthfeel: To me, it has a great mouthfeel, being not too light and not too heavy
Drinkability: Well, being 8%, I'm not sure how many I could drink in a row, but the alcohol is delivered very smoothly and not overpowering.

What the fuck comes from Sri Lanka? Lions motherfucking Stout, thats what. Outstanding stout, dark as night in the country with a blindfold.
Poured a deep dark black with a nice dark tan head.
Smells of chocolate malts... Very enticing. I'm definately salivating.
Taste is superb. Chocolate, silky smooth, good balance of sweet and bitter. Great fucking stout with a nice thick and creamy mouth feel.

3.9/5 rDev -0.8%
look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
My bottle reads "Sinha Stout" but it's the same beer.
Appearance - 4.5
A firm pour yeilds a thick, brown, moussy looking head over a an opaque black body, completely impenetrable to light.
Smell - 3.5
I get the impression that this is a stout that would pair very well with oysters. It smells rich, roasted, some burnt astringency, roasted coffee, dried fruit, very grainy for a stout, also somewhat salty.
Taste - 4.0
Very smooth with a good balance of chocolate and molasses sweetness with burnt bitterness. Alcohol presence is barely perceptible amongst the strong flavours, finishes dry.
Mouthfeel - 4.0
Very smooth with low carbonation, feels quite thick, heavy and oily in the mouth.
Drinkability - 4.0
Slightly unfortunate aroma aside, it drinks well for a stout of 8%ABV.
Possibly the darkest beer I have so far reviewed, only in the final few millimetres did it become cola-like in appearance. Apart from its unusual aroma, I found this to be a highly enjoyable stout, particularly impressive seeing as it comes from Sri Lanka, not a nation known for brewing.
* After typing this I see that I have made an all-to-common mistake. Stouts and and other dark beers are easier to brew than lighter, crisper styles. Despite the fact that most countries in the world brew at least one pale lager, it is actually one of the hardest styles to get right. Still, good to see a generally non-brewing nation making a stout.

Loved this beer! Went to Independent, a local classy bar in downtown St Petersburg for St. Patty's Day to celebrate. Came across this magnificent find. I prefer drinking from the bottle but Lion Stout is best suited for a glass. It had slight head, maybe an inch at most, thick and frothy so I didn't mind it. Chocolate/coffee aromas. dark not in any way translucent. Flavors of natural bittersweet chocolate, smooth texture, not too filling, settles well so I could probably drink a few. Coffee aftertaste without leaving residue behind. An extremely quality beer. Highly recommended.

look: 4.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5
First off, this is an outstanding stout! Pours a rich black color with a nice two finger head with lacing all the way down the glass. Rich, creamy mouthfeel. Smells and tastes smokey, very different taste than most stouts, although, it does include the coffee, chocolate and toffee like flavors. I was stunned upon trying this, as to it's origin, but this is one of the best out there.

look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Pours black with a nice sized tan head that has good retention. A little bit of lacing on the glass. Aroma of roasted malt, cocoa, nuts, and caramel.
Taste is chocolatey, with toasted nuts, a nice roasted bitterness, caramel, hops noticeable towards the finish as well as a slight fruitiness. The 8% is very well hidden. A damn fine stout in my book.

3.98/5 rDev +1.3%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 3.5
app - monster tan head, somewhat creamy and with excellent retention. Beer is effectively opaque, but bright light shows some garnet highlights.
smell - roasty with some chocolate and an overall sweetness to the aroma.
Taste - some malty sweetness, chocolately and fruity. Good complexity in the malt and esters, but nothing overpowers. Finishes roasty sweet - those flavors linger.
MF - full body and moderate carbonation. Some very gentle alcohol warming. A nice, smooth mouthfeel overall.
D'ability - A bit heavy for an every day beer, but quite drinkable by 8% ABV standards. Alcohol is well controlled.

A threat of a possible shooting at Friday night's Harris County High School football game has parents, administrators, and law enforcement on high alert.
"I'm not the only parent. It really concerned me when I was talking to another parent that works in the school system, she is keeping her child out and at home, and so, she opted to keep him at home also," said a parent who asked to remain anonymous.
She is asking why the Harris County School District did not alert parents about a threat of a possible shooting at Friday's night's football game.
Superintendent Craig Dowling says he understands, but they did not want to raise concerns even more.
"As a parent, I would have liked to have known but experience and wisdom says the best way to handle this is as low key as possible. It is not trying to keep people uninformed. It is just to not have it look like its bigger than it really is," said Dowling.
Dowling says it all started after a fight on Tuesday between about half a dozen students. He says officials then found some online posts between the students and one post suggesting that there may be a shooting at the game.
"Those students have been suspended or if their involvement was further, they will be going to a tribunal, and we, in fact, found one student that is not a Harris County resident, and he has been withdrawn," said Dowling.
The superintendent says there will be more deputies at the game. He says the deputies will have pictures of all the suspended students to keep them from even coming on campus.
However, this mom says she, like some others, checked out her son early from school on Friday and is not sure when she will let him go back.
"He hasn't missed one day of school since school started. He wanted perfect attendance this year, but I decided to keep him home today. Now, I don't know when I am going to let him go back to school," said the parent.
Dowling says he expects attendance at the high school was lower than normal on Friday, but he said that it was a calm day at the school.

I prefer handmade artwork on the walls in our house. There's something special about hanging art that has been made with love. We have very few pieces of store bought art. This latest art collection I made with the twins and is proudly hanging in our dining room.
We began this project by heading to the park one afternoon after school and collected a few sticks. The canvasses were on sale at Aaron Brothers (buy 1, get 1 free).
Here's how these fun fall crafts for kids are made.
Each tree design begins by gluing sticks to the canvas using hot glue.
Set your canvasses aside to dry.
Tip: Don't set them within reach of your dog or you could end up re-doing one like I did. Who knew my dog loved sunflower and pumpkin seeds.
You can make these with a variety of items – leaf stamps, pom poms, paper, yarn, sequins.
Have you made any fun fall crafts with your kids? I'd love to hear about them. Let me know in the comments below.

Thank you Kathy. If you want to keep this completely natural, you can also press some small fall leaves.
I love it! What a great project for the kids.
I love this! very simple yet fun art!

The Duncan Banner
The hills were alive with the sound of music, and visual art, as a pair of Duncan elementary music teachers took part in an intensive artistic study at the Oklahoma Fall Arts Institute at Quartz Mountain.
Ginger Thornton (Emerson Elementary) and Cheryl Johnson (Horace Mann) took classes from master artists in literary, visual and performing arts.
"I have thoroughly enjoyed our unique workshop," said Johnson. "I had a wonderful time and hope to bring the ideas I received into my music classroom."
The two received full scholarships to the exclusive program, which was held at the scenic Quartz Mountain in southwest Oklahoma.
"I was inspired by the beauty f my surroundings and the opportunity to educate myself in the arts," Thornton said. "I leaned new strategies for integrating music with literature, storytelling and folk dancing."
The Duncan educators were sponsored by the Oklahoma State Department of Education, Raymond and Bessie Kravis Foundation, and Anne and Henry Zarrow Foundation, with additional support from the Oklahoma Arts Council.
Oklahoma High School students will have the opportunity to attend a similar camp this summer (June 15-30) at the Oklahoma Summer Arts Institute, where they will learn from renowned artists. Auditions for the program will begin in January. For more information, visit www.oaiquartz.org.

From Phil Williams:
All executions have been put on hold in Tennessee while the U.S. Supreme Court decides whether lethal injection is constitutional.
Some Republicans have chided Gov. Phil Bredesen for not using the electric chair in the interim to keep the executions going.
But a decision Friday out of Nebraska may provide ammunition for those who believe Bredesen did the right thing -- as well as for those who believe the death penalty is wrong.
The Nebraska Supreme Court ruled that the electric chair amounts to cruel and unusual punishment.
"Electrocution's proven history of burning and charring bodies is inconsistent with both the concepts of evolving standards of decency and the dignity of man," the high court ruled.
"Examined under modern scientific knowledge, '[electrocution] has proven itself to be a dinosaur befitting the laboratory of Baron Frankenstein than the death chamber' of state prisons."
The court added that it recognizes "the temptation to make the prisoner suffer, just as the prisoner made the innocent victim suffer. But it is the hallmark of a civilized society that we punish cruelty without practicing it."
A number of years ago, fearing such a legal challenge, Tennessee made lethal injection the preferred means of execution. Inmates who had previously been sentenced to die in the electric chair would only face electrocution if they chose it themselves.
Tennessee death row inmate Donnie Johnson has chosen the electric chair -- at the same time, he has challenged whether it's constitutional.
So far, the courts have ruled that there's no constitutional problem since it was his choice, not the state's.
But if Tennessee were to resort back to the electric chair, as a backup, the state would almost certainly face the same sort of legal challenge that won the day in Nebraska.

The Resolution Martini is a variation that gives and takes a little from other popular gin cocktails. It is most similar to the Thanksgiving Cocktail, the difference being the absence of vermouth in the Resolution, so it is a bit sweeter.
Fresh lemon juice is almost essential here because the bottled varieties often contain more sugar than what is necessary to balance the drink, but if you must you must, I just don't advice it. The Resolution Martini is, however, ideal for New Year's Eve and toasting to your new resolutions.
Prep Time: 3 minutes
Total Time: 3 minutes
Yield: 1 Cocktail
- 3 ounces gin
- 1 ounce apricot brandy
- 1/2 ounce fresh lemon juice
- Pour the ingredients into a cocktail shaker or mixing glass filled with ice.
- Stir well.
- Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

As one controversy rapidly overtakes the last nowadays, the public discussion surrounding George Zimmerman's killing of Trayvon Martin has begun to fade from the headlines. Like everyone else, I've got my opinions. But the other day it occurred to me that one of the benefits of living in my neighborhood is that the specific circumstances that led to that tragedy couldn't happen here. I'm not saying that downtown Knoxville is somehow immune to homicide, though I can't think of any recently. But there are some key differences to downtown that undermine some of the basic premises of the Sanford, Fla. shooting.
First, it may be worthwhile to reiterate what I refer to when I say "my neighborhood." As most of you know, I live downtown. For the past 10 years, I've called it home. And most of that time I've had a Gay Street address. With rare exceptions, I've confined this column to events, news, and random thoughts about this neighborhood. It's a pretty specific area that's bounded on the north by I-40, on the east by the James White Parkway, on the south by the River, and on the west by Henley Street. That's roughly the same as the Central Business Improvement District, but not quite.
From time to time I've had to correct friends who mistakenly claimed they, too, lived downtown. Granted, many of them live a short walk from my front door. Some of them even closer to me than the Gay Street Bridge. But as I have told friends in Fourth and Gill, Fort Sanders, and other close-in neighborhoods, if you live in a place that already has a name of its own, it's not downtown.
Those boundaries that I mentioned I've jokingly referred to as The Walls. Once you cross one of those, you're into a very different kind of place than anywhere else in the city. It's defined by its density, its mixed use, its buildings, and its uniqueness as a place here. I'm proud to say that it's one of the most visited neighborhoods in the city. Most Knoxvillians probably see it as the city's cultural and entertainment district. But there are probably now more people living in this small area than nearly any other comparable space in the city. It is very much, to us, a neighborhood.
Some years ago I was involved in an effort to form a neighborhood association. It seemed like a good idea at the time. I'd been told by some in the city administration that there might be more weight given to a united voice on some of the issues I was, as an individual, routinely bringing to them. To aid in the effort, someone from the city's Department of Neighborhood Development showed up at one of our precursory meetings to offer some advice on putting an organization like that together. One of the first things he suggested—something that was generally considered a building block for this sort of thing—was to form a neighborhood watch. It was one of the most ridiculous things I'd ever heard.
Among downtown's unique characteristics is its role as commons. With the exception of some our internal spaces—parking garages, office and residential buildings, for example—everyone has a right to be anywhere here, and no one seems out of place to those who live here. I can't pick up a phone and tell the police that there's someone walking down Gay Street whom I don't recognize. It's not a gated community and there are no outsiders to keep tabs on. These streets belong to everyone and you don't have to have a reason to be anywhere. Whether you're stepping out of a Ferrari, or you don't have a nickel to your name, no one who lives here is going to think you're not supposed to be here. With the diversity of events that occur in downtown come diverse characters. It's part of the fabric of the area.
No one is going to stalk another individual in downtown Knoxville under the pretense that they were looking out for neighborhood safety. If I had to single out people who didn't look familiar, or whose reason for being in my neighborhood wasn't clear, most of the individuals I see on any given evening would qualify. I either recognize you or not. If anything, it's probably visitors in fear of other visitors that I see. And that's too bad.
It goes without saying that I love where I live. Maybe it's acceptance, or maybe it's just tolerance. But either way it's a neighborhood. But it's not a neighborhood that lends itself to being watched for outsiders. And while I don't fault those who prefer a different environment, it's kind of reassuring to know that George Zimmerman wouldn't feel at home here.

Welcome to the Pit! - Not The Same Old !@#$%
I just wanted to let everyone know that after a 2 year battle, we are going out of business. I have run out of money and willpower to continue the legal battle I have been in. I am sorry I couldn't keep fighting but I made a hard decision for me and my family. We will be open for Practice through September 1st and we will hold our annual TCCRA race the next weekend, Sept. 7-8, and then close our doors for good. I will continue to water and prep on weekends, and be open mon-thurs, no prep, till we close, and the trails will be open thru the 1st. I want to thank all of you who have ridden here over the years for giving me your business. You guys are some of the nicest and best customers anyone could want. I have made many friends while here and I have done my best to keep a safe and friendly place for everyone to ride. I again give you all my thanks, and hope you all stay safe and keep up the good fight to keep the other tracks here in the metroplex open and prosperous.... God bless... TallPaul

In the grand racing tradition of Excitebike, get ready for a big-air experience like no other as players rocket their trucks across dynamically changing terrain. Remember tilting your arms to try to make your character land a huge jump? That experience is finally a reality with Excite Truck, a wild, off-road race in which players hold the Wii Remote like an NES controller to control the truck. The 2 button is the accelerator, the 1 button is the brake, the + Control Pad is the turbo. Tilt the Wii Remote right and left like a steering wheel to steer. Once the truck goes airborne, tilt the Wii Remote every which way to line up perfect landings for turbo boosts. Pick up items on the courses to make the terrain deform in real time, turning innocent bumps into massive launch pads that affect not only the player's route, but that of his or her rivals. Players jump and bump their way to the highest score and highest finish.
Excite Truck is a Racing/Rally / Off-Road Racing video game for Wii developed by Monster Games and published by Nintendo on December 1, 2006. It's rated Everyone by the ESRB and 18 of our users have voted it 3.4 out of 5 stars.

Intel Cedar Trail platform for netbooks, nettops and mobile devices was introduced last fall, and at the launch time it consisted of two desktop D2500 and D2700 "Cedar View" microprocessors. In December Intel released mobile N2600 and N2800 models, also based on Cedar View core. At about the same time, Cedar Trail datasheet on Intel website was updated with details of three unreleased CPUs. We recently learned from our sources that one of these upcoming microprocessors, Atom D2550, will be launched in March.
There are many similarities between soon to be released Atom D2550 and currently available Intel D2500. The processors have two CPU cores, each with its own 512 KB L2 cache. Atom D2500 and D2550 chips run at 1.86 GHz, support Intel 64 and SSE3 instructions, and have 10 Watt Thermal Design Power. Additionally, the D2550 sports Hyper-Threading technology, and higher 640 MHz frequency of integrated graphics controller. Atom D2550 will be launched in the first half of March. Official price of this CPU is not known.
Update (Feb 23): It is possible that our source, that placed the launch of Atom D2550 CPU in the second week of March, was incorrect. According to VR-Zone, who seem to have more recent information, the D2550 will be released on February 26.

Last year about this time, we projected what the rosters for the top seven hockey-playing countries would look like for the upcoming 2010 Winter Olympics (and reposted it in October). Well, now is a pretty good time to take a second look at those roster projections and make any necessary adjustments. Instead of doing all seven teams (eight counting a Canada "B" team) in one gargantuan blog post, let's do this over the course of a few days.
Up first is a team which could have a little Washington Capitals flavor in the Czech Republic, but both guys (Tomas Fleischmann and Michal Neuvirth) are certainly on the bubble.
Patrick Elias-David Krejci-Milan Hejduk
Milan Michalek-Jiri Hudler-Martin Havlat
Vinny Prospal-Martin Straka-Jaromir Jagr
Pavel Brendl-Tomas Plekanec-Ales Hemsky
TOMAS FLEISCHMANN-Jakub Voracek
Just missed: Petr Sykora, Robert Lang
Zybnek Michalek-Marek Zidlicky
Tomas Kaberle-Pavel Kubina
Jan Hejda-Rostislav Klesla
Jaroslav Spacek
Just missed: Michal Rozsival, Roman Hamrlik
Tomas Vokoun
Ondrej Pavelec
Roman Turek
Just missed: MICHAL NEUVIRTH
Skinny: The biggest differences from last summer are the rise of Krejci and the fall of Plekanec. There are also some aging defensemen who are on the decline. This team will likely be thin down the middle, but those are four pretty even lines. Straka and Brendl are still having success in the Czech league, and Jagr's return to North America (if it doesn't happen this fall) would be an interesting subplot.
This group could challenge for a medal, but a lot of it will revolve around Tomas Vokoun. An injury to him could be devastating, because there is little goaltending depth. Don't be surprised to see Dominik Hasek come out of retirement and suit up for this team.
TOMORROW: Will we see Milan Jurcina in Vancouver as a member of Team Slovakia?
