On tap at Flossmoor Station and served in an English pint glass. This IPA poured a dark reddish amber with a one-finger thick head of tan foam that slowly settled into a lasting ring. Some light lacing was left around the glass. The aroma was loaded with grapefruit and pine. The flavor was also full of hops. Not abrasively bitter, but not much malt comes through either. Mainly a lasting Chinook bitterness. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied and clean. Light carbonation. A decent IPA, but not one of my favorites from Flossmoor.

22oz bottle received in trade from jchampl. Poured into a Portsmouth goblet.
A - Yeasty, tannish, amber with a 1/2 finger of tan head. Head dissipates fairly quickly. A thin collar remains. Lots of sticky lacing chases the beer to the bottom of the glass.
S - Citrusy hops, mainly oranges and sugary sweet malt dominate. Some caramelized sugar & molasses (more like unfermented malt extract) hit the nose too. Gives an overall fruity impression without a lot of hoppiness.
T - Taste follows the aroma closely. Lots of maltiness, light molasses, some yeastiness. This is a fairly bitter beer, but the hop bitterness fights to keep up with the malt. Some fruity and citrusy hop flavors struggle to come thru too, but barely make it. This is a malty IPA overall. I see no mention of brewed on/best before date, but I hear that this is probably more than several months old and maby be the cause of lack of hoppiness here.
M - Medium body. Overall, gives an impression of sweetness that lingers. Carbonation is medium, just prickly enough to give some character. Pretty good overall.
D - Overall, a decent IPA, more English in style than American, at least at this stage of its maturity. Hops are definitely American varieties, but the balance of bitterness, flavor, fruity esters, and malt sweetness, screams English IPA.

look: 3.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
A: VERY cloudy, light brown in color with a sizable, thick, tan head resulting in maximum lacing.
S: Loads of citrus hops with some background accents of pine and a little caramel malt.
T: Wonderfully complex. Malty with a slight Belgian-style PA sourness. More citrus hops and a mild bitterness.
M: On the thicker side for an IPA with a hidden carbonation.
D: A very interesting and enjoyable, balanced IPA. Very complex flavors, not overly hoppy, but not lacking hops either. Not sure I could have two of these in a row, but a bomber went down easy.

look: 4.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4
a: dark amber-brown in color, ample pillowy head upon pouring with a well-retained layer of beige carbonation, some lacing
s: pungent pine and tropical hops - citrus, passionfruit, and strong pine needle tea, caramel malt body with notes of toast, rustic and earthy with loads of malt and hop complexity
m: carbonation on the low-medium side and delicate, medium body
t: flavors of steeped tropical and pine hops, still powerful with age, nice malt back with caramel and toast - the earthy toast and powerful hopping temper the caramel sweetness, finish turns towards a moderate-high bitterness with lingering flavors of hop tea and toasted malts further asserting themselves over the caramel, a bit rough around the edges - assertive in both malt and hop - just how I like my IPAs
d: easy, a fine ipa

I got this bottle in a trade with TATTORSO. Thanks Jeff!!
It pours a hazy red amber with a 1 finger head of foam. It's loaded with lacing and the head looks like it's going to stick around.
The smell is of grapefruit and pine...big time. A light nose of malt eeks through but this definitely hoppy to the hilt.
The taste starts off with grapefruit and pine with a good malty sweetness coming through shortly thereafter. I'm also getting some apricot and a light note of bread. Very interesting tastes here as up front, this is *very* hoppy but from about mid palate on, the hops fade a wee bit allowing some of the malt character to shine through. The finish is a nice mix of both with the edge going to hop bitterness leaving it dry with a short aftertaste. More sips in and I find the bitterness seems to grow leaving the malt behind. No more semblance of balance. :^( That's ok though...
The mouthfeel and carbonation are both medium and nice.
Drinkability? The first half of the bottle said it would be great but things slowed down as the bitterness got stronger. Still, there'll be no problem finishing the bottle and the alcohol is a non factor, as I've come to expect from the IPAs/DIPAs of Flossmoor, one of the brewers that make the very best of the styles in the whole of the US. Well done.

Light beige head with som stickage and retention atop a blood-orange tawny so hazey you can barely see the awesome bubbling. Mango-piney-grapefruit aroma. Complex hops dominate this aroma with maybe some sweet toasted malts that maybe mellow out this hop-sickle. Pretty fruity IPA. The grapefruit rind hops and deep toasted malts mix to create some mango and guava tropical fruit flavors. Prickly and resiny mouthfeel help develop the earthy notes of this beer. Very hoppy, but complex and well rounded

22oz brown bomber with thick purple wax poured into an imperial pint.
A- This beer is a dark amber and totally opaque. Some red highlights from the bottom of the glass. Not a big head, but great retention and excellent lacing.
S- Fresh smelling with lots of grapefruit and citrus hop notes. Can't really smell the malts.
T- Man, this beer is good. Sweet grapefruit up front dominates, but I love it. Nice bitterness to the finish. No alcohol taste and very fresh tasting.
M- Full body and low carbonation. Goes down easy.
D- I wish I bought 4 bombers. I might not have made it that far, but this beer just makes me want another and another. Great.

22oz. bottle.
A: Pours a deep red, just before crimson, with a brown hue and copper highlights. The head is off white and builds to 1/4 inch for a few seconds before leaving no lace and miniscule bubbling. Darker than the majority of IPAs I've come across.
S: Hawaiian punch tropical fruit; lychee, mango, and pineapple all overwhelm the the nose. There is also some canned pear--like the Mott's I used to eat in my bag lunch as a kid. The hops provide a pine backdrop, but it is difficult to detect behind the fresh fruit--truly unique.
M: Medium bodied with medium carbonation.
T: The fruit translates beautifully; caramel sweet grapefruit touches down before the hops come on full force drying the tongue and wiping the sweetness and leaving for the first time a bit of malty sweetness.
D: For 7.1% I've encountered better drinkability in similar IPAs. The only downfall to a masterly crafted ale.
Comment: I'm having a hard time finding fault with Flossmoor Station and this IPA is no exception. Seek out and drink immediately.

Kudos to Masterski for providing this gem in a recent trade. Thanks... Excellent beer
A finger of off white head forms atop this brew. Nice retention. The beer is darker in color then I had expected. A deep rich Amber color with mostly brown highlights. Pretty good clarity, but again, very dark in color.
Aroma is very interesting. Leads you to believe that this will be a balanced IPA. Some floral, perfume notes, but also a nice scent of toasted malt with a little sweetness.
Man, this is a wonderful beer. The balance is certainly there. Initial sweetness gives way to a toffee flavor and some nice deep malt tones. Then the burst of hop flavor comes in.. Very rounded and smooth flavors... Just mellows out to a wonderful hop finish. I can't really say whether it falls mostly on the grapefruit or Pine end of the spectrum. I think I'd have to say leaning Pine and pine resin like.
Mouth feel is full bodied and almost creamy. Real silky smooth texture.
Wonderfully drinkable. Really nice beer. I'll need to grab some more on my next trip to the Midwest or trade for this again.

Thanks Joe1510
Pours a luminescent, slightly hazy amber with a full finger of head. Tenacious head, a creamy foam that stays on, thin, all the way down.
If you tossed me a glass of this I'd tell you straight up this is an amber... and that's not a knock on this.
Aroma is a bit of spectacular grapefruityness rolling into a passion fruit, floral background. Sweet with a bit of caramel and grape.
A bit sweeter through the middle than the nose promised, despite the dry finish. Notes of grape and toffee from the caramel malts dominate the mid palate before finishing in a slightly ragged bitterness. All around the edges the softer floral and citrus notes reign. Pine-y, resin-y on the finish. Sticky.
Incredibly smooth, medium bodied. Great carbonation.
The drinkability is knocked down just a tad due to some lingering sweetness, but the body makes this superbly drinkable, and it's a pleasure to inhale between sips.
Love the experimentation and the refinement in Flossmoor's IPAs (all both of them, now). Bring them on!
Thanks again, Joe.

22oz bomber with purple wax courtesy of 2277jf poured into a tulip.
Pours super dark for an IPA - deep, clear amber with a small cream-colored head that lingered as a cap throughout and left spotty lacing.
The nose was mainly of floral piny hops with some citrus hints along with a noticeable malt profile, lots of roasted caramel malts. Though the nose isn't overpoweringly hoppy, there is a slight astringency that lingers in the nose for a while.
The taste is hoppy up front but nothing too bitter with a huge caramel malt base that makes this one very balanced throughout. Like the aroma, the hops are more bitter in the end and leave a slight stinging bitterness in the finish. Well balanced taste.
The mouthfeel is on the fuller side of medium-bodied with decent carbonation and tons of hop juice that sticks to the palate between sips.
This is my first of the Flossmoor IPAs and I'm definitely impressed. I would love to try some more of this series.

Purple waxed bomber purchased at Flossmoor Station.
Not what I was expecting, kind of caught me off guard. Pours a dark ruby brown in color. There's about a half inch of head that forms on the pour. Smell is piney hops, but plenty of roasted malts to support.
Taste is more bittering hops. A little thin in the mouthfeel. This tastes like a hoppy, amped up red, or amber. Very enjoyable and well crafted.
I'll have to crack my bottle of Ore-Gone to get my Flossmoor IPA mind straight.

22 oz purple waxed topped bomber into a snifter. Thanks to joe1510 for the hook up with this in a recent trade.
Pours a deep, clear, rose colored amber with 2 fingers of creamy off-white head. A 1/2 finger of solid retention throws a big cascade all over the sides of the glass, which slowly recedes, leaving big swathes of sticky lacing back. The aroma is very herbal and spicy smelling hops, with an underlying thick tang of citrus, caramel malts, and bread. As it warms up more, a slight bit of heat pokes the nostrils, but it is overall not too distracting.
The hop profile is a little more busy in the taste, with an aggressive bite up front that lingers long and loud. The bitterness is kept in check however by a backbone that is equal to the task with a tangy and slick feeling mix of zesty citrus character and toasted, bready malts. The finish is bitter and dry and is followed by a flush of residual toasted notes. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with a big creamy feel that fills the mouth with each sip and includes a pricklier carbonation at times, combining with the present bitterness to give this feel some real bite.
Another extremely well done hoppy concoction from Flossmoor, this actually reminded me a great deal of a hoppy red ale at times thanks to the beef and tang that was present in the backbone. No matter what the perceived style, I greatly enjoyed this. Thanks again Joe!

Intriguing. Not a straightforward IPA, by any means.
Pours a dark reddish amber. Murky ... doesn't look like a typical IPA. Smells is pure grapefruit, but not sweet white grapefruit, this is the pulpy, pink stuff.
Taste is overwhelming bitter grapefruit with a touch pine, and the mouthfeel is thick and chewy. There's a strange spicy herbaliness on the back of my tongue as a I sip it.
Thanks to d0b for the brew!

Purple wax edition. Poured into a customized imperial pint glass. Pours beautiful deep ruby color with good clarity and a inch and a half of frothy head. Pretty good retention.
Earthy, herbal hops are at the forefront and a pronounced bitterness lingers. Carmel malt takes a backseat but keeps the hops in check. The hop character almost reminds me of spiced cider with orange rind. Perfectly carbonated and very tasty.
Not my favorite of the Brewer's Whim series but a very good beer nonetheless. I really hope Flossmoor Station keeps cranking out these small batch IPAs because they are all good and a couple were among the best I've ever had. Cheers to them for some memorable beers!

64oz Growler
Flossmoor Station
Celebration IPA fills this Goose Island willi glass with a deep amber red liquid that has this crazy ability to glow when backlit. A few areas of the glass release the occasional carbonation bubble that zigzags its way up to the surface. The head is a dense dirty white mound of meringue-like foam that shows an aptitude for stickiness. Lacing coats the walls of the glass in sheet form before most of which slides back into the body after a short time leaving some chunkiness behind.
Wow, each time my nose sticks itself in the glass all those tiny hairs stand on end from the extensive hoppiness. If the nose is any indication this is going to be my kind of IPA. The smell of this IPA right off the bat is that of pure, unadulterated, freshly pressed grapefruit juice with a strong undercurrent of broken pine needles. The little bit of malt that's in the nose is cake like but I have to work to pick that up. This is a juicy, resinous hop bomb of a hop bomb. There's a super fruitiness down in there as well hat reminds me of candied orange peel. I'm drooling over here.
The cake-like maltiness stands out a touch more than the nose suggested and is joined by a drizzling of caramel but this beer is squarely hop forward. The maltiness or lack there of, actually lead the way but is quickly batted aside by the mouthful of pine needles that I am now chewing on. From mid-palate on the bitterness grows and is met by mouth puckering grapefruit pith and mild orange peel. This IPA has all the classic hoppy flavors I love to find.
Celebration IPA has a medium body with a nice dry finish. The dryness on the swallow works to accentuate the bitterness oven more. The pine seems to have a buzzsaw effect across my tongue and I thoroughly enjoy every second.
This IPA is a sheer joy to drink and does down far too easy for the abv. The bitterness is tongue stomping but each drying drink calls for another soon after.
From what I understand this was based on Sierra Nevada's Celebration Ale and is fairly close. I've been crazy about any and all IPAs I've had from the guys at Flossmoor and this is no exception. Yet another wonderful addition to an already world class lineup.

A buddy picked up a bottle of this delicious nectar for me from Armanetti's for $9.99. All of the previous Brewer Whim IPA's I've had have been pretty damned tasty. Drank from my Stone India Pale Ale flute.
Purple Wax.
Flossmoor IPA 5 of 10
Appearance- Pours a fairly dark brownish orange with a decent one finger off-white creamy head that recedes fairly slowly. A nice cap and collar remain leaving some random web like lacing.
Smell- Very fresh and fruity with plenty of vibrant citrus including, but not limited to, grapefruit, orange peel, some pineapple and some light banana puree. Floral as well with some rose hips and lilac. A light bit of toffee and alcohol try to cut through all the hops but for the most part, are unsuccessful.
Taste- Maltier than I was expecting but don't let that fool you. Plenty of fresh bitter hops to go around. Some light candied caramel malts add a bit of balance at the beginning before the hops take over. Very herbal, earthy and piney with a nice citric kick to finish. Super pithy grapefruit and orange leave a raw bitterness toward the finish. A bit of alcohol in the finish with plenty of lingering hoppy goodness.
Mouthfeel- Medium-ish body with a soft oily feel and light crisp carbonation.
Drinkability- Not really sure it could possible be any better. I've had SN Celebration Ale a couple times but never in a setting that I really thought about what I was drinking. I just remember it being tasty and fairly balanced. This has that same thing going. Enough malt to make this über drinkable but not enough to let that spicy hop bite shine. Really good stuff!

Figured I'd better make some notes on this at Sheffield's Beer Festival before the obvious palate fatigue and drunkenness inherent in drinking 12 brews in 3 hours. From a firkin into my glass.
A - Opaque, attractive, apricot/copper color, with a small off-white head that lingers. Obviously not much visible carbonation here.
S - Terrific! Tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, oh my! Citrus hops and pine balanced with a strong and sweet malt backbone. I find this to be really well balanced, like most of my other experiences with Flossmoor.
T - Strong hop bitterness at first, which then melts into a background sweetness. There's something about this brew that tastes incredibly fresh (perhaps the fact that it's really new!). The citrus notes in the taste are more on the grapefruit/lemon side, and there's also a bready quality that comes out.
M - This is a beer that works in a terrific way from the cask. It's resinous, smooth, creamy, and super refreshing even without the regular carbonation.
D - You can't taste the 7.1%, and the low amount of carbonation makes this really easy to chug down. The only thing preventing a perfect score is the lingering hop bitterness.
This is a terrific IPA - I'm looking forward to trying out other serving types (bottle, on-tap) to see how they vary.

Bottle from the brewpub, with a pretty purple "wax" on top. Into a Goose Island IPA tulip.
A - Two fingers of head from an assertive pour. The off white head does not leave any lace, and retains a thin ring of head. The body is dark amber with orange tints.
S - Hops all over this one, with lots of grapefruit, resin, and pine. Does seem to have a bit of sweet English type malt in there, but most of the sweetness seems to be coming from the fruitiness of the hops. A beautiful aroma.
T - The grapefruit doesn't waste any time assaulting my taste buds, with both sweet and tart fruitiness. The English pale malt does provide some good malt balance (lightly toasted/caramel), but let's face it, this is a glorious celebration of hops. Good balance of hop bitterness and hops flavors here. Bitterness and spice linger long in the finish.
M - Mid to full body, with a very silky, slick mouthfeel. The mild carbonation makes me think even more of English beers.
D - One can see the SN Celebration influence here with the hoping, but I would argue that Flossmoor did a better job balancing the flavors out. An IPA I could bathe in!

(Served in a snifter)
A- This beer has a warm glowing orange body with a slight amber quality to it. There is a creamy light tan head that last for a good while. There is a good carbonation of bubbles with a few popping off the sides as I swirl.
S- The full aroma of green herbal hops has a wonderful pineapple weed aroma to it followed by a faint musty quality and a soft sweetness lightly caramel in quality in the finish.
T- The big green juicy hops have a nice pleasant skunk quality to them with an earthy note yet they are still very bright. There is a soft sweet malt flavor to follow that offers a bit of a backbone for the hops to use and then it is back into the hops but this time it is a pungent bitterness that balances the floral flavors on the other end.
M- This beer has a medium mouthfeel with no real alcohol heat that makes it very smooth.
D- This beer is all about the big fresh pungent hops with just a touch of malt to bring you back into balance. This is a delicious beer.

Pours a nice ruby color with two fingers of white head.
Scent of strong piny hops, citrus, and some caramel malts. I love hops, but the strength of the hops made it a bit unbalanced.
Taste is exactly the same, a very strong piny hops flavor, citrus, and caramel malts. An excellent IPA, but somewhat unbalanced, but that won't stop me from having more of this delicious beer.
Mouthfeel is light bodied with a good amount of carbonation.

Served in a 12oz tulip at Flossmoor Station 1/2/09.
A: Served a dark-amber/tarnished-copper color with a tiny off-white head. The head receded quickly and left no lace behind.
S: Big, fresh-squeezed pine cone nose on this one. As it warmed, aromas of toasted malt, citrus, and caramel emerged.
T: Fresh-cut pine bough and caramel as well as toasted malt, pineapple, and the unmistakable spicy flavor of Amarillo hops.
M: Oily, sticky, resinous hops with a nicely dry/astringent hop bite in the finish. Great sweet balance from the caramel malt.
D: Yet another winner in the Brewer's Whim series. I also picked up the bottled version at the bar...can't wait to crack the wax!

For me being the mother of 3 children who sometimes are at the end of their own tether as well as mine it was good to see the food come out not so long after Wade went to the counter to order. So that saved a few ear drums from being perforated by the screams of hungry children. I don't drink very often because alcohol doesn't agree with me but let me tell you this night I was tempted by those margaritas and sangrias after the day I had. They actually had quite a few non alcoholic drink choices on top of the alcoholic ones (in case you may need to sedate yourself a hard day of the ringing shrills of screaming in your ear.)
The food was pretty good for fast food and I mean it's no gourmet fine dining but a whole lot better than a chicken nugget that tastes like cardboard. The kids shared Cheddar Cheese Quesadillas and a "Little Guy" Burrito and they were rather impressed. I was really impressed myself with the serving size of the burrito and that these were a lot of value for money. Wade had Pork Chipotle Quesadillas while I had Beef Nacho's. The food was particularly fresh tasting and not dripping in fats and oils so I didn't feel like my soul was dying from the inside like I do with most of the regular fast food I encounter. All in all the value astonished me too we fed a family of 5 with drinks including 1 beer for about $40... Not too bad if you ask me.

Tip: How to Install the Outlook 2007 HTML Validator on a MacSunday, July 15th, 2007
When integrating HTML support into Outlook 2007, MSFT chose to use the Word 2007 HTML rendering engine instead of the much more logical choice of IE7. As a result, Outlook 2007 can render only a small subset of the HTML standard.
Gone are the halcyon days of practical div support, background images, and many, many other mainstays of standards-compliant markup. Instead, we have to rely on the older and less elegant table-based layouts of old just to get our emails to look pretty.
There is an in-depth article published on the MSDN site, including a list of supported tags and a somewhat helpful Dreaweaver validator for Word 2007:
- MSDN Article: Word 2007 HTML and CSS Rendering Capabilities in Outlook 2007 (Part 1 of 2)
- MSDN Article: Word 2007 HTML and CSS Rendering Capabilities in Outlook 2007 (Part 2 of 2)
- 2007 Office System Tool: Outlook HTML and CSS Validator
Of course, the validator comes as an MSI (Microsoft Software Installer), which means that if you're developing in Dreamweaver on the Mac, you're SOL (Shit Out of Luck). There's no reason for this other than corporate arrogance; the installer simply dumps two text files into a destination directory.
Which leads me to the work-around tip. If you have Parallels or VMWare (or any access to a PC), do the following:
- Open a Windows VM (or otherwise use a PC)
- Download the installer for the Macromedia validator ("WordMailSupportMacromedia.msi")
- Run the installer, but for convenience, have it dump the files in a temporary directory instead of the deeply nested default.
- Now get the two recently "installed" files over onto to your Mac ("Word2007.txt" and "Word2007_CSS.xml").
- Paste them into ~/Applications/Adobe Dreamweaver CS3/configuration/BrowserProfiles
- Restart Dreamweaver
- (Back in Windows, run the installer again to uninstall the files and clean up the registry)
The Word 2007 validation profiles will now be available for use.
Have loads of fun with this one.

Read Work and Other Essays, a collection of nonfiction by Christopher DeWan.
Welcome to Middle-Class Poverty
I'm on a mad scramble to visit every doctor I can think of, every type of doctor ever invented, and I'm not even sick. I'm not even hypochondriac. OK, I might be hypochondriac — but that's not why I'm seeing the doctors. I'm changing jobs, and I'm about to lose my health insurance.
I've long been of the belief that doctors are for sick people, and therefore, if you visit the doctor, you put yourself in the category of a person who is sick. If you visit a doctor, eventually you will start to think of yourself as sick, and then, eventually, you will be sick.
Sure enough, the morning after a dentist appointment, I was laid up for two days and a half with some sudden savage flu or food poisoning. Coincidence? You decide...
I took a trip to an eye doctor, who told me that, though I'm still hopelessly blind without corrective lenses, one of my hopelessly blind eyes was imperceptably less blind than it used to be. Good news! Of course, the change will require new (and vastly more expensive) contact lenses. Hmm. What's up, Doc?
He also took the liberty of flipping my eyelid inside out. Uh, yuck!!!
That's what he said. He didn't like what he saw under there, so he wrote a prescription for some eyedrops and I went on my way.
Because I'd just plunked down a ridiculous amount of cash on my new contact lenses, I couldn't cover my $15 co-pay on the eyedrops, and I had to wait two weeks to pick them up — during which time I didn't even get to enjoy my new contacts, because I was resting my inflamed eyelids, wearing glasses...
Well, I'm amazed — I'm amazed — by what $15 gets you at the drug store these days. It's 5mL. There's no reason, I guess, that I would need a gallon-sized bottle of eyedrops, but for my $15, I want a gallon-sized bottle. How much Visene could I have gotten for $15? Which CD or DVD could I have bought instead? How far could I get on Long Island Railroad for $15?
So, in one way, I guess the doctor was right: I am seeing some things more clearly now. But my irritation doesn't seem to be going down, just moving from my eyes to other places....

B.W.O.S … bring your own syrup … Maple Syrup, that is!!
Posted on 10. Mar, 2012 by blogadmin
Let's see … here in Vermont the sap is flowing … and even in this crazy winter that was/wasn't … the sap really is still flowing!! I think that perhaps living in Vermont, I take for granted that Maple Syrup is a staple across the country … or even, in New England. But my son and I quickly realized that is NOT the case on a recent college tour staying at various spots around New England. "What is this stuff?" "Why don't they have Real Maple Syrup?" " We should have brought our own Dakin Farm Maple Syrup!" Because really, pancakes and waffles aren't the same with out the "real deal"!!
Well, what is the "real deal"? Unless you live in a place where you can take the time to visit a Sugar House … you might not know exactly where/how real Maple Syrup is produced. And guess what … it is pretty amazing actually. This video is just the tip of the iceberg … and yes … some maple syrup is still collected with horse and cart. So take a peek ….
Pure Vermont Maple Syrup: Sugarmakers in Action.
Dakin Farm works with the finest Vermont Sugar Makers to produce the finest Maple Syrup in Vermont … mmmm … Throw that on some Dakin Farm Buttermilk Pancakes combined with their cob-smoked bacon, etc …. and your mouth experience a little bit of heaven. Or drizzle some on top of some vanilla ice-cream! Did you know there are different grades of Maple Syrup? … and that you might consider having several types in your pantry? … next blog, I will treat you to a little Maple Syrup Education … for now … enjoy the video!
Oh … and if you are a drivable distance … make sure to mark your calendars for some sugar on snow and more …
When: Saturday – Sunday, March 24-25 and March 31 – April 1.
7:30AM – 4:00PM (Ferrisburgh)

Avik Roy, Forbes Staff
With the Presidential election one week away, it's worth reviewing how Obamacare will impact the residents of key swing states. In Nevada, as elsewhere, Obamacare will drive up the cost of private health coverage, especially for those who buy insurance on their own. One non-partisan analysis found that by 2014, individual premiums in Nevada will increase by an average of 11 to 30 percent. In addition, Obamacare will deeply cut Medicare Advantage for more than 120,000 Nevada seniors enrolled in the program. And fully 44 percent of Nevada physicians say that they will place new or additional limits on accepting Medicare patients. Read on for more details.
(DISCLOSURE: I am an outside adviser to the Romney campaign on health care issues. The opinions contained herein are mine alone, and do not necessarily correspond to those of the campaign.)
Individual-market premiums to increase by 11-30 percent
In March of this year, the State of Nevada asked Gorman Actuarial to estimate the impact of Obamacare on the private insurance market. The Gorman report makes clear, as do similar reports for other states, that Obamacare's web of insurance mandates and regulations will dramatically increase the cost of individually-purchased insurance.
Because Obamacare forces insurers to cover a buffet of benefits that they don't have to today, the cost of insurance will go up. Another driver of higher premiums is the fact that insurers will have to cover everyone, regardless of previous health status, a change that will attract sicker enrollees at the expense of healthier ones.
By 2016, according to Gorman, "Overall, these changes could cause Individual Market premiums to increase 11% to 30% with a best estimate of 20% [in] 2014 and beyond." As with other parts of the country, young people will bear the brunt of the increases. Forman estimates that men aged 30-34 in good health in plans with a 50 percent actuarial value will face premium increases of 78 percent; similarly aged women will face increase of 33 percent.
Some Obamacare defenders try to argue that these cost increases don't matter, because a slice of the low-income population will benefit from the law's subsidies. But if you're not eligible for subsidies, or only partially eligible, you will be exposed to the law's dramatic increases in the cost of insurance. For example, in the previous example, men with incomes at 250 percent of the federal poverty level will still face premium increases of 64 percent, despite the subsidy. And remember that Obamacare has an individual mandate, which will force most Americans to absorb these higher costs.
Obamacare to cut Medicare by $10,783 per Nevada retiree
Obamacare cuts Medicare by $716 billion between 2013 and 2022 in order to pay for part of the law's $1.9 trillion in new health-care spending for younger people over the same time frame. My co-blogger Robert Book and Michael Ramlet have published a paper for the University of Minnesota showing that Nevada's share of those Medicare cuts is $4.1 billion. This year, Nevada has 379,860 Medicare enrollees, which means that these cuts amount to $10,783 for every senior in the state.
Robert Book published another paper, this time with former White House budget official James Capretta, detailing Obamacare's cuts to Medicare Advantage on a state-by-state basis. Robert and Jim found that, in 2017, Obamacare will cut $2,929 in Medicare Advantage services for every Nevadan enrolled in the program: a 21 percent cut. And 32 percent of Silver State retirees are enrolled in Medicare Advantage.
Survey: 44 percent of Nevada doctors to limit their acceptance of Medicare
Last month, the Physicians Foundation published one of the largest physician surveys ever conducted in the United States, with 13,575 respondents. They asked physicians a broad range of questions, including several about their views on Obamacare. 68 percent of Nevada physicians said that the Affordable Care Act made them "less positive about the direction and future of healthcare in America." Only 15 percent said it made them feel more positive.
If Medicare fees decrease by ten percent or more—as the Affordable Care Act will require—a remarkable 44 percent of doctors in Nevada say that they will place "new or additional limits" on accepting Medicare patients. 24 percent say they'll stop accepting Medicare patients altogether.
The survey also has bad news for Nevadans on other forms of insurance. 35 percent of Nevada physicians say that they'll place new or additional limits on Medicaid patients as a result of the Medicare cuts; 9 percent also say they plan to raise fees on those with private insurance in order to compensate for the cuts.
And then there's Obamacare's tax increases
Finally, it's worth touching on Obamacare's tax increases. From 2013-2022, Obamacare increases taxes by $1.2 trillion, which amounts to $15,796 for the average family of four. Nevada's share of those taxes is approximately $10.7 billion.
Obamacare's defenders will claim that many of Obamacare's taxes fall on corporations and upper-income individuals. But these taxes will get passed down to every American. For example, the law applies an excise tax to health insurance premiums, which insurers will be forced to pass down to individuals in the form of higher premiums. Analysts estimate that this tax could increase premiums by as much as 3 percent, amounting to more than $450 for the average Nevada family in 2014.
Other state-specific analyses of Obamacare
This is the seventh in a series of posts I have published on the effect of Obamacare on individual states. The complete series includes Ohio, Wisconsin, Virginia, Florida, Colorado, New Hampshire, Nevada, Minnesota, Iowa, Pennsylvania, and Michigan.
Follow Avik on Twitter at @aviksaroy.
What's with all these cookie cutter posts based on the headlines: "In (state name), "In (state name), Obamacare to Increase Individual Insurance Premiums by XX%"
Is Forbes getting paid regular advertising rates for these posts or is it an in-kind contribution? Wish they were at least factual rather than spun of the same bull as the auto jobs ads.
This email survey is completely biased due an absurdly low response rate of < 3%.
The survey was sent via email and successfully delivered to 600,000 physicians. Only 13,575 of them responded. It provides no meaningful information, as a 2.2% response rate implies that only those physicians who are angry or already exercised about this issue were likely to even take the time to respond.
While there is no universally accepted minimum response rate for publication of surveys in social science and health research, the American Association for Public Opinion Research asked journals about this issue and found that 60-80% response range is acceptable, while one journal said that below 20% is just too low. Based on this, I think a 2.2% response rate would be rejected out of hand. University of Wisconsin Survey Center also expects a minimum of 30-40% response rate for web surveys to be valid.
(http://www.amstat.org/sections/srms/proceedings/y2003/Files/JSM2003-000638.pdf and http://oqi.wisc.edu/resourcelibrary/uploads/resources/Survey_Guide.pdf)
The Physicians Foundation has a conflict of interest because they represent physicians–at least they claim to. They have an incentive to scare policymakers and the public into believing that unless physician payments are increased there will be no access to health care for Medicare patients.
More generally, Avik needs to decide if he wants to grow up and be a journalist/reporter or remain another partisan mouthpiece for the Romney campaign (which could be the Romney administration come 2013). There has been zero even-handed analysis on this blog over the past 2 months. I know this is Forbes, but come on. Is Avik jockeying for a position in the administration? He knows better.
For the past six years, my health insurance premiums have increased 15% to 20%. Next year's premium is increasing 4%. I haven't heard from anybody who said their premiums skyrocketed for next year. I am in the individual care market and live in Kentucky.

NORMAN — After turning a corner this season in Noble, the Bears came up just a few plays short in their attempt to return to the postseason. Noble traveled to Shawnee on Friday with a playoff berth on the line, but Shawnee came away with a 58-34 victory to end the Bears' season.
The final score doesn't reflect how competitive the game was. The Bears went into the locker room at halftime on top, but fell behind in the second half and had to take increasingly dangerous chances to try and climb back into the game. That resulted in a failed fourth-down conversion and an interception that allowed Shawnee to pull away in the game's final minutes.
"We played really well until the final 10 minutes or so," coach Steve Barrett said. "Offensively we scored enough points to win, but it didn't pan out as I thought it would defensively."
Shawnee's offensive balance undid the Bears on Friday. Forced between defending the passing or running game, the Bears focused on stopping the pass, and that allowed the Wolves to break several long plays on the ground.
Despite the setback, it was an encouraging year for Noble in Barrett's third season back at the helm. The Bears improved their win total from last season, and lost several other games by a matter of a few plays.
"I think definitely we're headed in the right direction," Barrett said. "Going forward we've got to consistently be disciplined and play hard-nosed football to be successful. Our kids have acclimated to that and we're continuously making improvement. There's no reason we can't continue to move forward."
Turnovers the difference for Tigers: Just a few weeks after coach Greg Nation made a public declaration that his team needed to force more turnovers, the Tigers have responded in a big way.

The act is not the beauty; the significance of the act is beautiful
18 10 12 - 19:07
And our season of abstinence showed us something that we might not have otherwise seen. We learned directly, experientially, that both of us has misused sex in the past, and that our vision of sex had been blocking our spiritual growth. It's not that we had overvalued sex. It's that we had been using it as a substitute for real intimacy. - Rhoda Janzen

Seafood in Seattle this weekend/LOBSTER
Thanks to the posters for some great ideas on seafood. What I really need are suggestions for Lobster, either lobster rolls, reasonably priced lobster dinners and places to buy lobster for cooking at my daughter's place. We're staying in Kirkland, but have car and will travel. I'm from the midwest--good lobster will be a fantastic treat.
Uwajimaya almost always has a tank full of beautiful frisky specimens, but they'll be expensive. Most QFC locations have them as well. Central Market in Shoreline or Mill Creek will likely have them as well but you will need to mortgage the house. If you are willing to travel to Edmonds/Lynnwood, the best price will likely be at 99 Ranch, but they sometimes run out. Call first.
re: acgold7
Central Market - I remember seeing them for about $11-$12/lb.
For reasonably priced - Chinese restaurants like Top Gun and Koi's (both on the eastside) will cook you something around 3-4 lbs for about $10/lb (it's usually prominently advertised somewhere on the wall) during dinner hours. It's steamed with a savory broth (on top of noodles upon request).
I can't believe no one has pointed this out yet, but lobsters don't live in our waters, so we get the same lobster shipped in that you also get in the midwest. You generally will not find lobster rolls here; the only lobster I ever see on restaurant menus is at the occasional Chinese restaurant. There are no reasonably priced lobster dinners.
We have great local dungeness crab, clams, mussels, and other shellfish, but our lobsters come from Maine like everyone else's.
re: christy319
re: GH1618
Good idea!
As much as I like lobster, I always get a chuckle when I recall the history of lobster and how it was served frequently to prisoners in the Massachusetts prison system in the 17th and 18th century. Prisoners rioted and called it "cruel and unusual punishment", forcing a law to be passed that it could only be served up to 2 times a week.

PHOENIX -- If what happened at the Dodgers' spring-training home on Friday was any indication, Ryan Braun will be booed when the Milwaukee Brewers visit Dodger Stadium in May.
But Braun said Friday that the thought hasn't crossed his mind.
"No, not really, to be honest with you," Braun said. "It's one of my favorite places to play, growing up in L.A. and being a Dodger fan. I don't even know when we go back to Dodger Stadium. It's always a place I look forward to going to play."

Gonic man faces texting while driving charges after traffic stop
Around 4:25 p.m., officers determined that Aaron Shackelford, 20, of 9 Strafford Road in Gonic, was driving while distracted downtown.
As a result of a traffic stop, police obtained a search warrant and allegedly found evidence of other criminal activity.
Shackelford was charged with possession of drugs with intent to distribute, three counts of receiving stolen property, underage transportation of alcohol in a motor vehicle, texting while driving and having an uninspected motor vehicle.
He was also held on a bench warrant for allegedly failing to appear for an arraignment on seven previous charges of receiving stolen property stemming from incidents in Barrington.
Police said the goal of the traffic patrols is to concentrate efforts on areas in the city where there is a history of criminal and motor vehicle offenses.
Possession of drugs with intent to distribute is a Class B felony, punishable by up to 7 years in prison.
Receiving stolen property is a Class A misdemeanor and each count could result in up to a year in jail, while transporting alcohol in a motor vehicle, texting while driving and having an uninspected motor vehicle are all violations, which could result in a fine of up to $1,000.
Shackelford, who was held on the bench warrant, refused bail and was taken to Strafford County Jail. He is scheduled to be arraigned today in Rochester District Court.

The following information was supplied by the Southold Town Police Department. A criminal charge is only an accusation, and does not indicate convictions.
Justin Maltese-Pollock, 19, William Mokus, 19, Ryan Greenberg, 18, and Gregory Vankesteren, 18, all of Greenport were charged with disorderly conduct on June 21 at 8:08 p.m. after involvement in a fight in the parking lot, police reported.
While on patrol, an officer observed a group of youths in the parking lot of the Greenport Post Office fighting. Upon exiting the patrol vehicle, the group dispersed in different directions, police said. One youth pointed towards two subjects who were walking away from the scene who were involved which the officer went after and brought them back to the incident location. While officers were at the scene investigating the incident, Mokus returned with a piece of wood looking to fight the subjects who attacked him, police said. All above subjects were determined to be the ones involved, they were arrested, transported to HQ, processed and released on appearance tickets.

Health Insurance Regulation Advances in California
Adam Thompson on September 4, 2008 - 9:28am
To address the misuse of health insurance premiums, legislators in California recently passed tougher standards regulating how insurance companies use premiums. The law is designed to put teeth into the basic expectation that health insurance premiums paid by families and businesses should be used by insurance companies for actual medical care. Sponsored by State Senator Sheila Kuehl, legislators passed SB 1440, which creates a "medical loss ratio" of 85% - or "care share" - requiring insurance companies to spend at least 85-cents of every premium-dollar on actual medical care. Governor Schwarzenegger has yet to act on the bill, but the legislation was amended at his request to exempt new plans from the 85% threshold for the first two years they are available, signaling that his signature is likely.
The unfortunate reality is that many insurance companies rarely meet this standard. In a survey of state insurance regulators conducted earlier this year, Families USA found instances where insurance companies spent a mere 60% of premiums in the individual market on medical care, using the rest for profits and administrative expenses - including staff charged with knocking insured people off the insurance roles.
The California legislation builds on similar legislation in other states. New Jersey has a "care share" requirement of 75% for the individual and small group markets. If less than 75-cents of every premium dollar is spent on direct medical care, an insurer must issue the difference in refunds to their members. Families USA reports that insurers have refunded policyholders $11.6 million since the early 1990's. Minnesota has a tiered loss ratio, setting different levels for the large group, small group, and individual markets. A bill introduced this session in Pennsylvania, HB 2005, would also set a standard similar to California's for the small group market.
Creating a Stronger Standard: "Medical loss ratios", or "care shares", are important regulations to ensure families and small businesses are getting value for their premium payments. An even stronger measure than the California bill can be found in Massachusetts Senate Bill 593, sponsored by State Sen. Patricia Jehlen. The care share legislation, titled An Act Relative to Promoting the Efficient Use of Health Care Revenues, would set a 90% standard and include other forms of income that are derived from premiums paid, including insurers' investment income. A 2006 report from the Health Reform Program at the Boston University School of Public Health found that some Massachusetts insurers were spending 91% of total revenues on medical care for group plans, indicating that a 90% threshold is quite attainable for the market.
With skyrocketing insurance company profits and reserves, state lawmakers should ensure that our health care dollars are being used for actual medical care, rather than profits and shareholder dividends. Additionally, stronger standards can encourage health insurers to increase efficiency and reduce administrative waste. Despite, or perhaps because, the US lacks a coordinated health care system that achieves coverage for all Americans, our administrative costs - as a share of total health care spending - are 30% to 70% higher than in countries with public/private universal systems. There is clearly room for improvement, particularly considering that within the US system, administrative expenses for private insurance are two and a half times as high as for public programs.

We recently traveled with another family to Disney World for a vacation out of which many memorable stories came. This is one of them.
The four children we traveled with all had varying experience with thrill rides, but wanted badly to try out some of Disney's best. Sadly, their father is kind of squeamish and maybe even slightly frightened of any ride that is not a slow train.
Being the good pastor that I am, I volunteered to take the kids on the thrill rides. While standing in line for the Tower of Terror, one of the kids, we'll call her "Arnie" to protect her identity, began what would be known that day as the "show of shows."
While just minutes from boarding our ride vehicle, "Arnie" squatted down on the floor with her legs crossed, and started crying. "Pastor David, I don't want to go. Don't make me go. I changed my mind." I calmly replied, "You're going."
As she started again with the crying, the ride attendant came to calm her down. He said, "Well, at least your dad is with you." And with what sounded like contempt amidst the tears, she replied, "He's not my dad, he's my pastor!" I just looked at the guy, nodded in agreement, and shrugged my shoulders and said, "Her dad was too scared. Not brave like her."
Sometimes the unknown in life is scary. What will happen with my job, the economy, my children, and all the rest? It can, in fact, become so scary that we just want to squat down and cry out, "Don't make me go." For Christians, we do not need to fear what lies ahead because wherever we go, our Lord is there already waiting for us. God will never leave us or take us anywhere without his presence.
As for the Tower of Terror, is it really necessary to say that "Arnie" loved it, wanted to do it again, and made fun of her father for being afraid to go on it?
David Sandvick is the pastor of First English Baptist Church in Frostburg.

We do not need to fear what lies ahead
We recently traveled with another family to Disney World for a vacation out of which many memorable stories came. This is one of them.
- David Sandvick - Life Lessons on Faith
- Don't just go to church, be the church We are in the middle of the summer Olympics and one can't help but root for the U.S. of A. (that is if you're from here, of course). I've watched some rowing, volleyball, gymnastics, swimming, and basketball and find it an extraordinary opportunity to see such gifted athletes gathered together in one place competing at such a high level in the most popular sports in the world.
- Make right choice with church On a recent visit to Tennessee, I spoke with the wife of a Christian camp director and she related this story to me. Her husband bought her an ipod Shuffle (one of the really little ones) for a birthday present.
- Join with God in his church July is a month that many people head to the beach or to a park to enjoy a summer vacation. As I think about my own recent vacation, I am reminded of a practical joke I played on my wife.
- Seek God, his kingdom, rest will fall into place On a recent shopping outing I was asked an interesting question. As we checked out, the cashier at the department store asked, "Did you find everything okay?"
- Bible School puts back what is easily lost Have you ever noticed how many food products are "enriched" with vitamins and minerals? Actually, the term might be "re"-enriched because much of the nutritional value of foods such as bread is depleted when it is processed to give it longer shelf life. Vitamins and nutrients that are lost in this manufacturing processing are restored.
- Listen to God's still voice: 'You can do it' It was the same day that I rappelled off the tower that I climbed up its rock wall side. I had come to the conclusion that a near-50- year-old man need not prove himself anymore, when a voice in my head said, "Do it anyway!"
- You should be real sure about going to heaven I recently returned from east Tennessee after speaking for a week at a youth camp. While there, I tried to get to know the young people and participate in many of the activities with them. Tubing on the lake, swimming, rappelling, rock wall climbing, and riding go-carts all combined to make it a truly exhausting work week.
- God looking for children love him Sunday is Father's Day and the television is filled with advertisements for potential gifts that seem to follow two lines of thinking. One line of gifts I've particularly noticed are handyman type gifts.
- Christians also have a natural enemy - Satan My garden plantings are growing like weeds. Oh, wait a minute, that one was a weed. A closer inspection reveals that something is gnawing on my plants. The leaves are missing on some of the vegetation and I suspect a wabbit! I asked my wife if rabbits had any natural enemies. She said, "Elmer Fudd." She's no help at all.
- Ready soil of heart to hear word of God I was working in my garden the other day. Well, it's not really a garden as much as a patch. Actually, patch may be stretching it a bit also. Perhaps bed is the most accurate rendering. A twin size bed to be exact.

I've gotten a few e-mails lately from readers wanting their blogs added to the blogroll -- thanks, y'all! -- so now's as good a time as any to remind everyone to take a gander at the blogroll. Are you on it? Would you like to be?
If so, leave a comment on this post or shoot me an e-mail (turner at commercialappeal.com) and I will get you fixed up.
(Note: Feel free to submit your Tumblrs and your Livejournals and your whatnots, as long as the majority of what you post is your original content.)
Of course, as easy as it is to add new blogs to the roll, I am wondering how to go about weeding out dormant blogs. How long does a blog go without updating before we can assume that it's dead for good and in need of being taken off the roll? Six months? A year?
Or do you prefer that the blogroll keep a blog listed as long as the link is still active, even if the blog seemingly doesn't update anymore?
Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

Cosplay is just a Japanese word for dressing up based on a theme or specific character.
One of the themes that has proven to be popular in American culture is the "Mid-West Farmers' Daughter". Another is to be made to look like a certain doll every girl had while growing up. A popular one also is posing with a (fake) gun.
