Cool weather can rob your body of strength and cause you tobonk early in your ride. The Sugoi Icon Jersey, worn alone or as a base- ormid-layer, pulls moisture away from the skin and helps the body regulate itstemperature to keep energy levels high and performance at its peak.
Sugoi chose to use FinoTech 2.0 Fabric for the Icon Long-Sleeve Jersey. FinoTech 2.0 features a distinctive oval-pattern mesh that efficiently promotes airflow and manages moisture. Its medium weight makes it a versatile fabric for use in a wide range of temperatures. The soft, brushed inner layer pulls moisture away from the skin to create a warm, dry micro-environment, while the outer layer has a tougher, abrasion-resistant face.
As far as construction goes, the Icon Long-Sleeve Jersey ispretty traditional. The efficient Form Fit aids in moisture management andmakes it easier to layer over the Icon. Four-way mechanical stretch provides afull range of motion without snagging. The 16 inch front zip makes it easy toget it and get out as well as allowing for quick temperature adjustments. Thethree back pockets expand easily to create extra storage space, and thesignature hem gripper keeps the jersey from climbing up the back during a ride.The zip-up collar can be worn up or down according to preference.
The Sugoi Icon Long-Sleeve Jersey is availablein sizes S-XXL and in two colors: White with Matador and Black trim and Blackwith Matador and White trim.

A fire that broke out Wednesday afternoon in Menomonee Falls caused $150,000 in damages to a single-story, family residence.
Five people were inside the home at W1355 Mary Dale Drive when it caught fire. All made it out safely. A bystander was able to take the family into the car after they left the home.
The fire was started by a cooking appliance outside, which caught the outside of the house on fire before it quickly spread inside the house and up into the attic, said Menomonee Falls Fire Chief Jeff Hevey.
The Menomonee Falls Fire Department received the first call at 1:38 p.m. Multiple 911 calls came from an office building next door to the home, Hevey said.
The Fire Department was on scene at 1:41 p.m. and had the fire extinguished about an hour later.
The family is being cared for by the American Red Cross.

Scott O'Brien A Tuesday afternoon homeward commute may be delayed in Huntley if a trainload of cars is on its way from Belvidere to Chicago. This Tuesday was no exception, but had an unusual twist. At approximately 4:25 p.m., as the afternoon train was rolling through Huntley, the driver of a green Mercedes Benz was unable to stop as he approached the crossing on Mill Street. Consequently, he rammed into the side of the empty auto train. The Huntley Police, as well as the Fire Department, arrived on the scene within minutes. The driver and Mercedes sustained minor injuries. The worst injury was to the Stop Sign, which was fatally wounded. The Illinois State Scholarship Commission recently announced the 1987-88 Illinois State Scholars. Of this year's Scholars, eight are students at Huntley High School, although program participation by high test scores and high school class rank sent to ISSC for consideration in the popular program. About 10% are named State Scholars and will receive a Certificate of Achievement for the accomplishment at this spring's honor night. In order to enter the competition, high school students must take the ACT and/or SAT examination between January 1 and June 30 of their junior year of high school and have the scores sent to the ISSC. Selection of Scholars is based on a combination of their test scores and their class rank at the end of the junior year. Nearly all will continue their education after high school. Huntley's State Scholars include: JuUe Bunt, Cassie Evans, Eileen Manning, Marci Maxwell, Jodi Peterson, Larry Rugg, Ron Terry and Judy Wiesneth. Planning Board Meeting Minutes The regular monthly meeting of the Huntley Planning Commission was called to order at 7:30 p.m. by Chairman Wilmer Rohlwing. Those members of the board present were Noel Hansmann, Ron Hahn, Robert Schachtner and Jack Daum. Mayor Dhamer and Village Building Inspector Spradlin were also present. The minutes of the last meeting of December 8, 1986 were read. Mr. Schachtner moved to accept the minutes as read. Mr Hansmann seconded. Motion carried. Mike and Jeff Grismer were present to present new plans for their lots on Myrtle Street. The new plans included five buildings of four units each. The front of the buildings would be 1 1/2 stories tall and the back 2 stories because of drop in elevation. Each building would be on its own lot and have two entries. The density would be just under 20 people per acre, based on 2 1/2 per unit. Tom Jurs entered the meeting at this time. The plans showed smaller garages than those presented at last meeting, but the same parking stalls. Mr Daum then asked about the distance between buildings which shows only 18 feet, according to codes this cannot be less than 40 feet. "There would be two units upstairs and two units downstairs. Each unit would have one stall inside garage and one out. They have sewer access all around them. The sewer is on edge of property which comes into the property approximately 10-15 feet. The total lots combined equal 2 1/2 acres. The one corner will be left a green area. 108 feet is green area altogether. Mr Grismer said that when the ditch is installed it will be lower yet for water so all water will go towards detention pond by highway. The Village Engineer will determine if they need a detention pond. Mr Daum referred to page 47 concerning the spacing between the buildings and can they have less than 50 feet between buildings. Mr Grismer said he cojuld move the buildings so there would be more space in between. When asked about foundations being higher because this was considered a flood plain area, it was determined that this property is no longer considered a flood plain area. The buildings are 30 feet from lot lines. The Grismers are here tonight requesting an R-S, apartments, zoning. Mr Joe Manning, who lives Continued on page 6

AG Church Flourishes Where Once Rejected
In 1934, Montezuma, Iowa, officials placed Assemblies of God evangelist Morris Plotts in jail for disturbing the peace with his tent revival. It would be 70 years before God would bring a Pentecostal presence back to the community — and now, He's blessing that ministry!
Resurrection Miracle: Great Passion Play Lives Again
The Great Passion Play, a 45-year tradition, is brought back to life after, coming out of foreclosure with the help of a radio network and an AG church.

Churches and Mature Christians Can Counter Absentee-Father Trend
The hardship absentee fathers place on their children can be, in part, offset by the church and Christian families who look out for "fatherless" children. However, absentee fathers — and fathers in general — are encouraged to invest in their children, to do their best to mend broken relationships, as most children are eager to get to know their fathers.

RONDA — Mount Airy wrestling Head Coach Steve Braune said the Bears won runner-up Saturday and received a trophy in the East Wilkes High School Cardinals Duals and called it a Virginia/North Carolina battle.
For all except one team point and a few match instances, the team held its ground, Braune said.
He said the team took first against four Virginia schools in the wrestling competition that East Wilkes hosted.
Mount Airy, Glenn, North Surry, Martinsville (Va.), Galax (Va.), Carroll County (Va.) and Grayson (Va.) all competed in the wrestling duals tournament.
Braune said the team started the day wrestling against Galax and won the match 78-6.
He said all Greyhounds pinned their opponents but one, and the Galax match was a great match to open the day.
The next match up for the Greyhounds was against Carroll County and they beat them 57-15.
Braune said, "We got pinned at 106 and then my kid pinned at 113 and Mount Airy won."
At 120, 126 and 132 weight class, Colton McMillan, Jackson Blizzard and Kenyon Smith got forfeits, Braune said.
Then, at 138, Braune said Cameron Pack lost a minor decision by 12-11. At 145, Andrew Moore lost a minor 10-4, and Tristan Mabry at 152 won minor 6-3. Braune said, at 160 and 170, Dallas Smith and Landon Mumford pinned their opponents.
The weight classes 182, 195, and 220, all brought forfeits for Austin Branch, Kolte Poore and Mason Timmerman. At 285, Brian Bennett pinned his opponent.
Braune said, the next match was against Martinsville. Alex Howard got a forfeit, and Sechrist got pinned in the third period.
Braune said, at 120, 126 and 132, Mount Airy pinned all its opponents.
At 138, Braune said, Pack got pinned, and at 145, Andrew Moore pinned his opponent.
Braune said the real drama begin after Martinsville wrestler Colby Sarver illegally slammed Tristan Mabry. He said, Mabry then won on a disqualification and went to the hospital with a minor concussion and will be out until the doctor releases him to wrestle again.
Braune said that he called the family and checked on him and "he is fine," Braune said. There are no muscular or skeletal injuries, the coach said.
Dallas Smith at 160 and Landon Mumford, 170, both won by pins, said Braune. However, at 182 and 195, the Greyhounds got pinned.
At 220, Braune said, Timmerman received a forfeit, and at 285, Bennett got pinned. The final was 54-30.
Braune added, against Grayson County, "We won 71-12 and our kids overall came ready to go today."
The match against Grayson had a lot of forfeits, said Braune.
Braune said, at 106, the Bears won by 10, and at 113, 120, 126 and 142, the team also was victorious.
Pack pinned his kid in first period at 138, said Braune. Then, at 145, Braune said, the Bears got a forfeit and at 152, he said, " We had to forfeit because of Tristan's injury."
Also at 160 and 170, Braune said, they got a second period pin; at 182, Mount Airy got a forfeit; at 195, Mount Airy pinned its opponent, he said. The 220 class was the only loss of the day and he got pinned, Braune said.
Bennett at 285 got a forfeit, Braune said.
He added, "Our 160-pounder took off straps on the mat, so they won 71-12 on a technicality. It was a big deal because of a team point, but we love him." The coach then said, that is also part of learning lessons as the team goes along in wrestling.
"The last match was against a 4A Mount Tabor team, and we them beat 57-18," Braune said.
Braune said, at 106, Alex Howard, and 113, Sechrist, each had two forfeits. Then, at 120, Colton McMillan lost a minor decision 11-8.
At 126, Jackson Blizzard pinned his opponent in 28 seconds, said Braune. Then, Smith at 132, Braune said, lost a minor decision by 14-11. Kenyon Smith was bumped from 132 to 138 and pinned his opponent in first period. The bump-ups were because of Mabry's injury, said Braune.
Braune said, at 138 to 145 weight class, Pack won a minor by 9-5. Braune said, Moore was bumped up from 145 to 152 and pinned his kid in the third period.
"They fought today, came to win and ready to wrestle," said Braune.
At 160, Smith, and Mumford, 170, won against both opponents.
At 182, Braune said the team gave up a technical disqualification because of Branch stalling too many times which can be due to number of a factors, Braune said.
The third period ended with three pins and 195 was the score for Poore, and 220 was Timmerman's score.
At 285, Bennett won with a pin and the match ended with a Bears win and a score of 57-18, Braune said.
"We won today in a 5-0 classic between North Carolina and Virginia."
The end was determined by the tie-breaker factor with Glenn scoring 321 and Mount Airy scoring 317 after losing by four points in a tiebreaker criteria.
Braune said, "When we can compete with 2A, 3A and 4A, and we not only compete but win, it says a lot about our program. It tells me it doesn't matter our school size because our kids want to compete and win. It is all about heart, not giving up and never surrendering."
Braune said, "We did not have one individual on our team with a losing record today. We fought for ourselves and fought for teammates."
Overall the Bear record is 17-9. The next team event is the Rick Williams Duals and is hosted by South Stokes, said Braune.
"We have had a lot of support from family, friends and community."

U.S. job gains defy Sandy and fears of fiscal cliff
Jobless rate at 4-year low
WASHINGTON (AP) – It takes more than a superstorm to derail the U.S. job market.
Employers added 146,000 jobs in November and the unemployment rate dipped to 7.7 percent, a 4-year low, the government said Friday.
Though modest, the job growth was encouraging because it defied disruptions from Superstorm Sandy and employers' concerns about impending tax increases from the year-end "fiscal cliff."

The first woman ever appointed to run the state's Department of Transportation will leaver her post after nearly three years in the position and 25 years with the state.
Beverley Swaim-Staley was probably best known in Baltimore County circles for being at the heart of a 2003 disagreement between the County Council and then County Executive Jim Smith.
Swaim-Staley announced her departure earlier today. She is expected to remain on the job until July 1.
She was appointed to the post by Gov. Martin O'Malley in September 2009. Previously, she served as deputy secretary of the same department from 2007 to 2009 and 1999 to 2003.
She oversaw all operations at BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport following the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
In 2003, Smith, who was in the first year of his first term as Baltimore County Executive, named her as his first county administrative officer. Personality conflicts and a disagreement over salary between Swaim-Staley and Smith and the County Council doomed the appointment.
Ultimately, Swaim-Staley withdrew her name from consideration.
Smith, 70, is now of counsel at the Towson-based law firm Smith, Gildea and Schmidt. He has been rumored by some as a possible future transportation secretary (and other possible positions within O'Malley's cabinet) since the governor won a second term in 2010, the same year Smith completed his second and final term as executive.

Now that is interesting, about Smith I mean. Let me get this straight, a person who would not qualify to work in the county considering their current ADA policy is now in the mill as the next - whatever works position - or as they might say, I can't work for Fred (Homan) but Martin would love to heave me kind of thing.
Department of Transportation? As far as I know don't you at least know how to drive a vehicle, and Smith had a chauffeur. Does driving the county into the abyss pass for the lack of driving experience.
How is Smith going to find the time with all of the LEGO blocks he's tied up in building.
5:58 pm on Tuesday, May 1, 2012
Why Smith? The man is 70 years old. How about we get younger!
Is Smith trying for a 6 month stint and a third pension?

I really don`t like snares they seem in humane to me but thats just my opinion so instead i pack rat traps in my bugout bags. setting a rat trap much easier than having to figure out a snare for someone who has never made a snare before plus you can get a whole pack of them at the dollar store
yeah that's the problem with rat traps is the size of the animal you can get. with a snare you can catch bigger game. and its not cruel if you check it every day, and get the animal as soon as you can. still i would carry both gives you an edge.

The Main and Hazard families clash on and off the Civil War's battlefields as they grapple with the violent realities of a divided nation.
America's master storyteller continues his reign with Love and War, a story steeped in passion and betrayal. With the Confederate and Union armies furiously fighting, the once-steadfast bond between the Main and Hazard families continues to be tested. From opposite sides of the conflict, they face heartache and triumph on the frontlines as they fight for the future of the nation and their loved ones.
With his impeccable research and unfailing devotion to the historical record, John Jakes offers his most enthralling and enduring tale yet.

Lady Hawke
"The Civil War brought to us on a personal level."
Love and War is the dark part of the North and South Trilogy... the storyline is during the deepest parts of the War and therefore has the burden of telling that story.
I appreciate the use of the Horse as a metaphor for the mind numbing losses that took place during the conflict.. it is hard to imagine the wide scope of such an immense happening in our history... but to feel the pain of the loss of your closest companion and most valued and irreplaceable tool brings the loss to a level that can be felt even in such a small increment.
The story at this part shows well the struggle of Love ... love of family.. love of our ideals... right or wrong as they may be... love of friends.. and love of our ways... again... right or wrong.
We also see the destruction and the encroching upon our thought processes of
Evil.. how subtle a game can be played when good men do not stand.
No!!! This is a story that I needed to think about as it unfolds... the depths of the lessons that our history has to impart to us it too widespread to gulp. It needs to be savored and pondered over to actually learn anything.
If we cannot learn from our past......
Start with North and South and take the journey. It is worth the travel.
"Loved it as much as the first book"
Captivating, intricate, occasionally predictable
I would compare to Outlander in that both sagas are captivating and the character development is extraordinary.
The series is so in depth it is difficult to pick just one.
Madeline Mayne (funny how on audiobooks you are unsure of spelling of names) is compelling.
I couldnt stop listening to this series
"Not as strong as Volume 1, but good"
I was literally counting the hours until my pre-order of this book arrived. It was certainly compelling, but not as strong as the first volume, in my opinion.
The plot got very complicated -- yes, the Civil War was complicated, but the battles and plot twists were sometimes hard to follow -- and as another reviewer mentioned, some of the dialogue was long-winded.
What I felt in this book was that characters that were quite well-drawn in Volume One became a bit more stereotypical in this book. The "villains," Ashton and Bent, were somewhat ridiculous in the first book -- I thought heaving bosoms and nymphomania were the stuff of really bad romance novels -- but became very caricatured in this one. The sex scenes were cringeworthy.
But even well-drawn characters like Charles and Orrie lost some luster here.They often fulfilled the stereotype of the Southerner as "hot-blooded" and "impetuous" -- if they'd been horses they might have stomped their feet!
I generally like Grover Gardner as a narrator, but he's pretty weak on accents.
Having expressed these reservations, it's still a really engaging and moving story, and gives a sense of the human bravery and sacrifice that shaped this terrible period in American history.
Now counting the days and hours until Part 3 arrives!
"Real life during the Civil War"
This one is so very enjoyable because it gives an inside view of life during this critical period of history while keeping historic events in order.
Haven't finished it yet.
He has a way of distinguishing his voice to make different characters come to life even in a rapid conversation
The American civil war and its many component intrigues me. I have listened to many books about this era however John Jakes has done a splendid job in his books – North and South, Love and War. Apart from just enjoying the books, I also learned something about the North and South that I never knew.
I love the story lines- mixing history with some make belief. You feel as if you were there. Both books (since they are connected) as a whole have left a deep impression in my heart about valuing relationships. I am glad a few characters in the book got what they deserved and also very sorry that one of the main characters died. I guess the story will not be realistic if this did not happen.
I have already pre-ordered the last book – Heaven and Hell. I would like to see the three books made into a movie :)
The narrator - Grover Gardner could not have done better - good job
When Orie died or when Charles found his son
I loved every part of his performance. Loved the way he could switch from one character to the other
movie - perhaps?
I'm a APP. PROFESSIONAL and love it!! I have over 100 books in my library and not stoping any time soon!! Thanks audible!!
"The second is as good as the first!!!"
Let me start off by saying this is a great book!! The book is better than the mini series!! John Jakes does a great job with the civil war and the family events!! I hated to lose some of the main characters but all great things have to come to an end.. With the end of the war and the start of the rebuild of Mont Royal and Charles trying to find his way with his new life and his new love this should be a great way to start the third book!! Can't wait!!!
"Not your average Civil War book"
I will definitely listen to Love and War again. If history class had been this interesting in school, I probably would have paid more attention! This is NOT another factual account of Civil War battles. This is a look at all the things you didn't learn in history class tied together in a story line that will let you see and feel both sides of the the most atrocious event in American history. The characters were so real. You loved them, you hated them, you understood them, and you didn't. You come away from it feeling like you have lived through that period in history.
Obviously, North and South, however, I liked this one much better. Often you think you will be disappointed by a second book in a series, or by a book that has been made a movie or t.v. show, but this one will change your mind.
Without spoiling anything, it involved Sport, the horse.
Impossible due to the length, but I listened non-stop for days!
If you like historical fiction, don't miss this one! I was very moved by it. It is definitely one of the best uses of my credits in recent years. I can't wait for the third installment in this series to be released in Audio!
Pam Foster - I enjoy listening to books. I had to retire early and I've found audio to be one of my good friends. Reading reviews is a must before purchasing a book.
"The Heartache of War"
Yes, I would recommend this audiobook to a friend because of the two families who the novel has been centered around. This made the novel easier to follow. The Hazard's from the North and the Main's from the South. These families become the best of friend's when two young meet at West Point. Their friendship carried over after leaving West Point. Their extended family members were soon included and that two man friendship began to grow. Letters and visits strengthened the bond. That bond would be tested time and time again when the Civil War began. After the Civil War ended the structure of both families had suffered. This audiobook presented an extraordinary description of how the Civil War was fought. The Hazard's and the Main's filled the pages of how these two families had to fight on opposite sides and still try to remain friends when the war was over.
The consistency of keeping the Hazard's and the Main's involved during the war. There were interludes between both of the families on and off the battlefield. When the Civil War ended the two families will have to struggle in order to find their way back to each other. The separation caused by the war will be difficult to fix.
Charles. He was visible during many of the battles. His conscience was frequently tested. Charles is faced with multifaceted decisions when the war ends. The descriptions of Charles during the war and after the war are a worthy listen.
Pitting Friends and Families ...... One Against the Other
The novel provides quite a history of the Civil War. Having the two families to concentrate on, made the listen a good one. The many descriptions of the battles, guns used, loyalties between men fighting side by side, the bond of trust that solidifies the honor of man and country, North or South. These scenes were written in such a way that I found it enjoyable to listen. I didn't get bogged down in too much rhetoric, that I felt enough was enough. I wanted to continue until the book ended. I'm looking forward to the last novel in the trilogy.
"Creative NonFiction"
I am not a fan of history. The characters were dynamic.
This is a very long book. So its a good value for the money. The narrator is great. The characters fabulous. I am not sure how historically accurate the story is as I am not into history. However I thoroughly enjoyed the series.
Love my 2 sons, love my Lord Jesus. Enjoy classic historic fiction. Charles Dickens and Alexandre' Dumas are my favorites. Little Dorrit, Our Mutual Friends, Count of Monte Cristo and the 3 Musketteers series are my favorite novels. I also am a big fan of Jane Austen's novels. I like Jane Eyre too.
"Listen, Listen!!"
United States Nightmare
Charles Maine...the different situation he went through and the way he went through and came out of them.
No, only the North & South Triology
Constance Hazzard...she is very lovely lady and would enjoy her company.
John Jakes Triology - North & South, Love & War, Heaven & Hell. What amazing novels!!! Far much better than the tv show which starred Patrick Swayze (RIP a great actor), it was a wonderful tv show but the books are better because of the more details. The books tell of things that the show could not. Please use your credits to listen to them. They are as good as Larry McMurtry's Lonesome Dove series, which John Jakes quotes in the third book of the series. Also, what I loved about the novels is how John Jakes mention many times Charles Dickens and several of his novels.

The thing about periodization, from my view, that makes it a terrible idea for weightlifting is that it attempts to control the uncontrollable, to plan the un-plan-able, and generally places the plan above reality and above the lifter's own interests.

is this discussion from a coaches p.o.v or a lifters p.o.v? because as a lifter im not seeing the benifet of someone elses plan and the evidence seems anectdotal

For this beer, we use maple syrup from Red Brook Farm -- Sam's family farm in Western Massachusetts, peat-smoked barley, juniper berries and vanilla.
Immort is fermented with a blend of English and Belgian yeasts, then aged in the big oak tanks at the brewery.
The sweet and earthy flavors meld magnificently in the Immort Ale. But be warned, the ABV is 11%, so after one or two you may start feeling immortal (even though we promise you won't be).

The brew pours a dark bronze under a modest off-white head that provides a solid amount of lace. The peat-smoked barley and vanilla standout in the nose, but they do not overshadow hints of maple, caramel, and alcohol. The smokiness leads on the palate with the richer malt flavors of caramel and toasted biscuits joining in to simmer down the smokiness. As the beer warms, maple and vanilla flavors begin to become more assertive, s well as a nice little hop profile in the finish. Lighter in carbonation, this 11%er has a fairly heavy mouthfeel. A great sipper from the folks at DFH!

A: Poured from bottle to pint glass. Beer has a off white 2 finger head that dissipates slowly leaving a little lace, the color is a dark amber.
S: The nose on this beer is simply amazing, strong maple notes with a light smoke.
T: Taste is right along the smell, huge maple and oak front with a slight smokey middle. The finish has a fairly light hop presence and despite being 11% abv the alcohol is very well hidden.
M: Very full bodied beer with a surprising amount of carbonation.
O: Another very well done Dogfish beer will definitely buy again.

A: Translucent copper tone. Off-white head that fades to a thin ring. Nice legs.
S: Wow. Not what I remember from previous experiences. Powerful smokey quality, with a bit of peat and leather. Molasses and dark fruits follow but the initial Scotch-like notes remain.
T: The smokiness takes a step back here, working as more of a complement to the more pronounced sweet toffee and dark fruit maltiness. Some piney hops join the party towards closing time, but don't stick around long.
M: Softer on the palate than I recall, expected, and wanted for that matter, but it retains its flavor and presence well after initial contact; although there is some alcohol heat midway that fades in the aftertaste. Light carbonation. DFH says it ages with the best, and I think it should, at least to tame the heat a little.

I love Dogfish Head Brewery but had I had a difficult time with this one. This beer tastes like if one of your friends left their chewing tobacco spit in a cup and you accidently picked it up and drank it. I couldn't think of any other way to describe this beer. I will never purchase this again.

Poured from 12oz bottle into Mystic tulip glass. 2013A batch.
A: Pours a beautiful clear reddish brown.
S: Smells smoky and sweet maple. Wife says it smells a bit like dried shiitake mushrooms and i agree.
T: it's definitely interesting. At first you taste the smoky peated barley, then the maple and oak comes in.
M: really smooth. almost dangerously smooth given that it's 11%.
O: It's definitely worth grabbing a single and trying it. I don't like smoky beers, so i won't have this again, but i'm glad i tried it.

Bottled in 2013
Poured into a Duvel tulip glass.
Appearance: Pours an absolutely stunning and transparent dark amber with a striking red hue when light hits it. A small, finger tall, light tan head slowly rises out of the slightly viscous ale. The head lasts for quite a while and leaves some faint trails of lace behind.
Aroma: Some slightly sweet and smoky notes of juniper and herbs right away, with some light citrus interwoven between the plum and bubble gum tinged Belgian yeast phenols. Sweet and bread-y notes of malt are tucked nicely between suggestions of vanilla. There is little to no alcohol present in the nose. Very complex smelling ale.
Taste: Sweet plum and bubble gum from the yeast phenols hit your palate right away, then a quick slap of juicy, succulent citrus before some sweet, chewy and bread-y malts coat your tongue which are interlaced beautifully with a huge, sweeping wave of juniper laden smoke. The beer finishes very dry with a mere kiss of alcohol with some accompanying lingering notes of juniper, vanilla, faint maple and herbaceous hops.
Mouthfeel: Very full bodied and creamy with just the right amount of carbonation to lift the viscosity of this big beer off of your palate, without overpowering or masking the more subtle flavor components.
Overall: Another crazy beer with tons of wild ingredients from Dogfish Head, whoda thunk it? Well, I was expecting this beer to be a complete convoluted mess with all of the ingredients that were used in crafting this massive ale, but it turned out to be artfully balanced with hardly any alcohol presence at all! With an 11% beer, that is pretty hard to do. All of the components shine through very well in the this beer and come to a very nice crescendo in the finish. I'm looking forward to cellaring a few bottles of this to see how the ale develops over time. Highly recommended for a curious drinker who doesn't mind a big, sweet and contemplative ale.

Immort ale has a coppery amber color an is quite clear. The head is fairly tall and dense with carbs being rather gentile in action.
Aroma was mostly alcohol but there was still a good amount of maple and vinnilla and oak pews and molasses and peat maybe even.
Taste finds a good depth of flavor with dark fruits earth molasses and sweet malts. Alcohol warms around the edges.
Drinks smooth and chewy with a warming finish. Not bad.

I should be reviewing more beers, because I drink terribly too much and I love writing, but I saw that this only got an 86 and it blew my mind.
Appearance: The appearance is a dark brown, semi-thick liquid that has no head. It just seems manly.
Smell: The smell is adequate to match the manliness of the look. It smells strongly of maple, vanilla and an almost-whiskey (oak) bourbon-flavor.
Taste: Again, manly. I gave a sip to my aunt who said "too strong for me, that's like taking shots of whiskey." It's maple, vanilla intense character with the nice alcohol burn of 11% really makes this a wonderful sipping beer.
Mouthfeel: The mouthfeel isn't anything out of the ordinary for a strong ale, but it matches the beer. It doesn't coat your mouth but you know it's there and doing it's work. It has light feel but the manliness of the alcohol is present throughout the sip.
Overall: I think this beer is terribly underrated and has so much complexity. Just as the bottle says, it's "vast in character." The maple, vanilla and oak all combine to make such a wonderfully different brew that I think it's worth at LEAST a 1-time investment.

Picked up a single of this beer from my local establishment, Civera's. First time I've noticed they had it so lets see how it matches up.
Appearance: Pours a nice, semi-thick, brown, amber copper color. Lace is almost non-existent. Still, not a bad pour atall. I'm assuming dark fruits were used in this recipe.
Smell: Complex scents of smoke and and slight hint of caramel. Also noticed was a hint of vanilla and some maple. Not exactly as loaded with roasted malts as I hoped.
Taste: Immediately, I'm almost overwhelmed with a rush of smokiness, heavy wooden molasses. Only the slightest hint of vanilla comes to mind, but nothing obvious. Alcohol is prevalent, as it should given the content. Something that was too overpowering for me. Not my cup o' tea if you ask me. Too smoked, and the alcohol doesn't fit well with this kind of flavor.
Mouthfeel: Medium carbonation, heavy in texture. The bitterness is barely masked by the sweetness of the maple.
Overall: I was a little too optimistic going into this brew. I was a little excited to see something new I haven't had before from this brewery, but unfortunately, this beer wasn't for me. Too much smokiness, and the maple flavors didn't fit well, along with slight traces of vanilla. Not the easiest beer to put down, as it should for the ABV for this brew. Maybe next time Dogfish Head can put out something that is drinkable. I highly doubt I would have this beer again, and most likely would not recommend to a friend. Cheers!

A - A slight half fingers worth of crisp fizzy off-white colored head that quickly fades away leaving the slightest veil of splotchy lacing an uber thin collar... A slight to moderate bit of mixed paced carbonation... The color is a murky brown that s a bit lighter than medium...
S - A huge slightly intoxicating nose can be noticed well away from the glass... Caramel... Pineapple... A plethora of dark fruits... A slight bit of maple syrup... Vanilla... A very light oak component lies beneath the surface... A deeply complex and exciting nose...
T - The flavor profile is a slight departure from the nose... Vanilla and a subtle yet assertive oak are at the forefront... Caramel and brown sugar are next... The pineapple and dark fruits take a very distant back seat... The maple syrup may be present, but it hard to detect... Not bad by any stretch, but the flavors don't compliment each as as well on the palate as they did on the nose...
M - Medium to full bodied... A bit chewy... A bit syrupy... Limited carbonation yet lively... Sleek... Rather nice...
D - An interesting brew... Solid and enjoyable all the way around with an absolutely stellar aroma... An enjoyable sipper with a hefty 11% ABV... Not my favorite DFH brew, but definately worth investigating for the curious BA...

poured from a bottle into a duvel tulp.
pours a reddish brown. smell is a little sour, kinda reminiscent of like a cabernet sauvignon. kinda has a wine texture going on with a slightly bitter aftertaste. not too hoppy, not very heavy on the carbonation either. vanilla/maple notes are subtle, but definitely present. abv is hidden well
paid a little under 4 for a single bottle at my local store that will split up any 4 or 6 pack. was definitely worth a try, but probably not a beet i'll get back to any time soon...if ever.

Interesting brew that seems like it could have been great but has fallen short. It has a slight smokiness to it with an interesting aroma. I didnt taste much maple in the brew but overall I enjoyed it watching UFC on Fuel. That said with all the great beers out there I would not buy it again.
Bottom Line: Worth the scratch to obtain the experience.

Great color, despite a noticeable lack of head. Smells more like a barleywine than anything else. The heat is pretty apparent. Definitely doesn't taste like a barleywine though. The vanilla is nice, but I seem to recall enjoying this a lot more last time I tried it. Probably best served with a meal, I found it to be a little too busy and robust to just have on its own. A lot going on here.

Found this in a grocery store in Tyler, TX, and in my opinion it was about as good as bottled beer, not fresh from the brewery can get. Very dark, rich taste, with some chocolate and coffee aroma. Excellent balance of hops and malt, and significant "alcohol aroma", which is to be expected based on the relatively high alcohol content. Goes great with steak.

A: Can't describe the color any better than a very clear "brown". Poured out with a thin layer of off white head. Not much retention or lacing
S: Molasses, charred wood barrels, and vanilla. Definitely some dark fruit in there too.
T: The charred wood is prevalent in the taste as it is very smoky. It is almost a bit spicy, probably a by product of the smoky flavor. The molasses and vanilla can also be tasted here as well.
M: Chewy, somewhat heavy body. Carbonation is thin and light. No sharp alcohol bite and this is a whopping 11% above.
O: I was digging this one. The smokiness made it unique but it did not deter from the sweet vanilla and molasses (maple syrup).

Appearance: pours a rich copper red with a nice white head that foams up thick and white and has decent retention.
Smell: booze, fresh tobacco, chard oak, dark fruits,
Taste: Sweet at first with maple and some vanilla. There is almost an off putting taste of a corked wine, maybe that is the oak and maple playing together. Once it warms up the the maple really comes through with some fresh tobacco flavors. not too bad.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with sweet residue that coats the mouth with each sip.
Overall: This is an interesting brew with some nice flavor notes. I am interested to see how it will mellow out in 6-12 months.

T - Maple and oak followed by a slight alcohol burn and dark fruits (raisins/prunes), some sweet caramel, toffee and vanilla.
M - Medium-full bodied, fairly smooth - perfect ~55 degrees F
O - Very tasty, considerably more enjoyable and a warmish temperature. Quite complex, alcohol is very well hidden, very smooth.

This is an amazing sipping beer. You just want to take it easy. The aroma and flavor are so complex you need a degree to understand them.
It's a very dark reddish brown ale with a small but fine head. The aroma is extremely complex - yeasts, fruits, maple dominate. The taste similarly is challenging. There are many things in there, and they are all making an interesting concert together - kind of like a Zappa concert, very complicated. The aftertaste lingers bittersweet and heavy, like the style usually does, only more so.
For as highly as I rated this I doubt that I would want it very often.

I really did have high hopes for this one
Smell - smoky bacon, peat, more peat, charred oak, gamey.
Taste - smooth, hope barely detectable. Very similar to the smell. Immediate front palate gets hit with some vanilla and way to fast afterwards the beer is overwhelmed with a meaty taste. Finishes smooth and velvety.
Mouthfeel - best part of this beer in my opinion. Very slick and smooth. Finishes almost velvety and previously mentioned.
Overall - maybe I'm not a big fan of smoked beers. This one in particular is super gamey and I'm not a fan. I wish the vanilla would be more present as well as the maple ( though I believe the maple does help in the MF). I'll have to go back to this in a year or two to see if it develops for my liking.

Served in a snifter glass.
Appearance: A deep darker amber, very transparent. The body has light bubbles on it with an off-white head with slight orange tint to it. Head maybe rose to 1/3".
Smell: Strong wood scent almost bourbon like. It has a strong scent and wins points in my book because of that but not necessarily the type of smell you want to keep on smelling. To say the least it's the kind that gets old quick.
Taste: Almost a smoked wood, i know i can't be the only one feeling this. Strong vanilla feel as well you can feel the alcohol...not as overwhelming
Mouth: Easily medium carbonation. Nice stickiness and smooth, smoked after feel is a little bit of getting used to but not bad at all.
Overall: When i first poured the glass, I didn't know what to expect. It improves little by little as you keep drinking it. Would I buy it again, maybe factoring in price and it's not quite my top tier of beer preference. Grab a glass and drink...Salud!

A: center pour into a pint didn't produce more than a thin film of a head over this dark amber beer with red-orange highlights
S: interesting sweetness, perhaps the juniper coming through? Touch of maple and smoke/peat
T: all the advertised flavors are tangible: sweet syrup and vanilla malty base, hints of smoke and maple and peat give it some earthiness, but the sweetness is predominant - maybe even a little bit of a cherry flavor?
M: a little too syrupy for me, no feel of carbonation or bitterness, medium body, coating
O: I love DFH and their experimental style, but this is a little underwhelming - it lacked bite, and had a combination of sweet flavors that were a little much for my beer tastes - the English strong ale is one of those categories with a lot of leeway - they can range from the stoutish (like a Bracia) to a dark ale (like a Yorkshire Stingo)... but for my tastes, I preferred either of the latter to this particular interpretation of the style.

Poured in a Ranger Creek Tulip
A: Ruby red almost purple, just the color I want to see in a barleywine. Has an off-white head of big frothy bubbles that recedes at a decent pace but didn't laec too much.
S: Has a strong alcohol scent (as you'd expect being 11%), with some maltiness. It is really missing the smells I thought I'd get, caramel, toffee, vanilla… hopefully they will be in the taste.
T: It's good, but it's not what I had hoped for / expected. The maple/vanilla/etc. that the packaging promised is really not there; it's mostly almost cloyingly sweet malt with some hop bite and then a strong alcohol kick. I'm going to put the other three down for some time and see how it treats them, 'cause fresh I'm much less impressed with this as I expected as I really like DFH and I really like Barleywines.
M: Smooth almost syrupy. Not too thick, not too velvet, the carbonation dances a bit on the tongue.
D: Drinks pretty easily despite the obvious alcohol bite… I think with some time resting this one might be dangerous.

Smoked meats and beechwood. Smell pretty Rauchy.
Good amounts of caramel and molasses. Touches of leather and maple syrup. Gets a little smokey towards the finish. Beechwood-smoked malts and smoked meats.

Not really sure what DFH was trying to attempt here. Kind of a Rauchbier/English Barleywine/Doppelbock mash up. I can't say that I'm digging this.

ITIL Service Design - Book
- Author:
- Cabinet Office
- Publisher:
- TSO (The Stationery Office)
The ITIL 2011 Editions have been updated for clarity, consistency, correctness and completeness.
In order to meet current and future business requirements, 'ITIL Service Design' provides guidance on the production and maintenance of IT policies, architectures and documents for the design of appropriate and innovative IT infrastructure services solutions and processes.
Key features:
The updated ITIL publications share a similar standard structure (including generic content in Chapters 1, 2 and 6), to improve consistency and aid navigation. Some content has been reorganized to improve flow and readability, and ensure alignment across the suite - including clarification around interfaces, and inputs and outputs across the service lifecycle.
Terminology has been clarified and made consistent across the publications and the ITIL glossary.
Summary of Updates from the Author
Throughout the updated 'ITIL Service Design' publication, there has been particular focus on alignment with 'ITIL Service Strategy'.
A number of concepts and principles have been clarified, most significantly the flow and management of activity throughout the overall service design stage with the addition of the 'design coordination' process. Other significant clarifications include the five aspects of service design, the design of the service portfolio and the terminology related to views of the service catalogue.

Deriving energy from waste could help more homeowners to access cheap energy in the coming years, according to a report from National Grid.
Renewable gas is obtained by super-heating waste in a process called anaerobic digestion and the report suggests that £10 billion of investment could see the process generating nearly 20 per cent of the UK's electricity demands, rather than the current one per cent.
The process could utilise existing energy infrastructure which gives an advantage over wind farms and tidal turbines, while it could also offer cheap energy prices.
Biogas is already used extensively across Europe and the study said that the process could become a substitute for falling North Sea supplies.
In advocating the widespread use of biogas, the study calls for improved incentives to encourage energy suppliers and other corporations to invest in the process.
The government has committed to a sharp reduction in greenhouse gas emissions over the course of the next decade but has championed nuclear energy as one of the best ways to safeguard Britain's energy industry.

The show is ranked fifth "must-see" fireworks display in the U.S. by the American Pyrotechnic Association, and for good reason. You've never seen a fireworks show until you've seen two barges trying to one-up the other.
Like the Lake Tahoe display, this one can also be viewed from the shore or from the water itself, with the paddle wheeler Creole Queen and the steamboat Natchez both offering fireworks cruises.
And while the fireworks themselves are amazing, that's not all the festival has to offer. Go 4th on the River also features concerts, a Mardi Gras-style party, food and door prizes.

Love it! Dead simple to fix on... just got to stick the plate via the soundhole to get to the underneath of the bridge with the high & low E bridge pin inserted as a guide. Now the D28's volume & spectrum is slightly boosted and enhanced. Order the plate in accordance to your string spacing and there you go...
Cheap, easy and fast fix for a worn bridge plate, tunning stability is great, sound is not improved to my ears, sounds much more 'metallic/brassy" with less bass, more trebly, with a lot of overtones on open notes. Good temporary fix to my D-35.
Good cheap fix for a chewed up bridge plate, It do the job, stability is great. Sound is not improved in my case, less bass response, and it adds a lot of "brassy/metallic" high end to my ear. Same issue using a piezo pickup. Tested on a Martin D-35.
I bought a plate mate for my Martin 000CXE that sufffered with bridge ache. The little piece of brass plate is costly but it made a great difference to string anchoring and even improved sustain. Best of all,I soldered a ground wire to it to connect the strings to the power jack and got rid of that $ buzz.
I use plate mate as a grounding device to reduce noise, in a acoustic guitar pu system, when you touch the strings. just connect plate mate to ground on the switchjack endpin.
Good for the cheap repair on the cheap guitar.
I added a plate mate to an old Silvertone 621 guitar I am restoring and converting to left hand. Not only does it improve the sound and tone of the guitar, but it really adds stability to the string end and helps in tuning as well. Of course it will also protect the wood from being gradually chewed away by the string ferrule. It was easier to install than I thought. Highly recommended for any acoustic.
I have an old S S Stewart jumbo acoustic that the bridge plate was worn and the strings almost came back through the holes. The windings near the ball ends were at the saddle and it was a problem. Adding this plate and doing the extra ball end to each string has fixed it and I think improved the sound as well. I wonder if the plate was a little thicker if I wouldn't need the extra ball end. Just a thought but it worked for be, beats having a new bridge plate installed!!!!
I have used a few of these for cost-effective repair solutions. Easy to install and makes the customer happy. My only complaint is while there is a spacing available for every guitar I have needed one for, they don't make one for the C-shaped layout you find on some guitars like some Taylors.
I bought a well used 1977 Alvarez 5056 and the bridge pin holes were so chipped out on the bottom I could not tune up some of the strings without the pins popping out. I ordered a plate mate and some new bone bridge pines. The plate mate was easy to install and that solved the problem. The combination of the bridge plate and the bone pins that I purchased from Stewmac made this guitar sound every bit as good or better than my two Gibsons or my two Breedloves.
