I should have worked harder on the focus, but admittedly my patience wasn't as it should have been. The yellow jacket was probably attracted to my sweaty shirt, and then got caught between the backpack and my shirt. Then there was a ZAP! as the little guy decided to let me know he wasn't happy about his predicament. There was no way to get him off, except to remove my pack, camera and shirt, but as you can see, he was still stuck on my shirt. Perhaps that little stinger just wouldn't come out.
I was still more or less in a forgiving mood, so I was hoping he would just fly away. In the end, I stepped on him and then shook my shirt out. Should I have reacted differently?

You killed one of God's creatures! You must go repent at once! In all seriousness, I'd of killed it, too.
Though I've never been stung by one. Or a bee, wasp, or anything. I've came close a few times riding my bike. - 3:26 PM

Well, it does seem you gave him a fair chance to leave...

I give them a chance, and if they don't leave, I do just like you did.

Hmmm. In my younger days I found killing these critters to be great sport. One of my favorites was using the vacuum cleaner to suck them in. Spraying with alcohol is also quite effective.

Livingsword, I presumed it would be necessary for me to join in again after last year's amazing performance! I hope all is well with you two, but it does seem you are a bit busier these days. Probably a good thing?!

The Duke Meets the Earl seems like an obvious album, pairing two of New England's finest contemporary blues guitarists, Duke Robillard and Ronnie Earl, who both share the same sort of hard, clear tone in their playing (Earl actually replaced Robillard in Roomful of Blues when the latter left the group for a solo career). For Earl, who has been working in a kind of jazz blues hybrid style in recent years, it marks a return to straight blues, and with guests like Jimmy McGriff and Mighty Sam McClain aboard on select tracks, The Duke Meets the Earl has the feel of a super session. Throughout, Earl's guitar is featured in the left channel and Robillard's in the right, leading to some wonderful guitar dialogues, particularly on an epic, nearly 16-minute-long version of Walter Price's "My Tears." Another extended workout occurs on "A Soul That's Been Abused," an Earl original, which features McClain on vocals and stretches out to just over 13 minutes. McGriff brings his Hammond B-3 magic to two cuts, Eddie Taylor's "Lookin' for Trouble" and B.B. King's "I Need You So Bad," while the B-3 part on "A Soul That's Been Abused" is handled by Dave Limina. Other highlights include covers of T-Bone Walker's "Two Bones and a Pick," Magic Sam's "What Have I Done Wrong," and Earl's smooth, clear slide style on another original, "Zeb's Thing." With only eight tracks, but clocking in at over 70 minutes, The Duke Meets the Earl gives these two fine guitarists plenty of room to talk to each other, and the result is a classy set of no-frills contemporary blues, with just the slightest hint of jazz to keep it all smooth.

Reality in black and white
Sidebar: See the exhibit Among the featured photographs in a new exhibit at the Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum in New Brunswick is one that shows a small Montana town's rise to solidarity with its Jewish residents in response to an act of anti-Semitic violence. The 98 works in "A New Reality: Black-and-White Photography in Contemporary Art," are from the collection of Arthur and Anne Goldstein of Saddle River; the exhibit opened Sept. 1 and is on display at the museum on the Rutgers University campus through Nov. 18. The couple who is also donating 75 other works by renowned photographers to the museum has been collecting pictures for 15 years. Arthur Goldstein, a trial attorney, said he and his wife of 39 years did not have backgrounds in photography when they began collecting. "It's something we gravitated to once our kids graduated," he said. "We were looking for a hobby we could share together and that would give us the opportunity to learn together." The couple became interested in black-and-white photography, which, said Goldstein, "was different and unique, and people were overlooking this great work. People at the time were going crazy for color, but we found a sense of surrealness with black-and-white photos." The works in the museum show span the years from 1950 to the present, exploring the role of black-and-white photography as a medium of visual and historical consequence as well as its conceptual role in contemporary artistry.
The photo of the Montana community demonstration was taken by Frederic Brenner in 1994. The previous Hanukka, neo-Nazi white supremacists had smashed the window of a Jewish family's home in which a menora had been placed. In a show of support organized by local churches, residents, religious institutions, and businesses were urged to place paper menoras in their windows. After a Billings Gazette editorial denouncing the anti-Semitic act appeared with a paper cut-out menora, as many as 10,000 residents displayed the images of the candle-holders in their windows; some of them also became targets of violence. The following Hanukka, the march was organized to demonstrate that Billings continued to stand with its Jewish residents. Among the marchers holding aloft menoras in the photo are Native Americans in full headdress, Catholic priests in vestments, uniformed police, and construction workers. The Billings photo, like many of the other pieces in the exhibit, makes a profound statement in this case a community unifying against hatred, according to Goldstein. "[W]e look for images…that are consistent with our view of contemporary art, which requires that when you're done looking at the image, you remember it," said Goldstein. "You think about it either because it's difficult, thought-provoking, funny, or otherwise produces some unilateral emotional reaction." The Goldsteins both serve on the board of the Jewish Community Center of Paramus, where their family has longstanding ties. His parents were among its founders, the couple's children became bar and bat mitzva there, and their granddaughter recently had her baby-naming there. The couple decided to donate works to the Zimmerli after meeting its senior curator, Jeffrey Wechsler. They were impressed with both his eye for art and his commitment to Rutgers, said Goldstein. "The Goldsteins are very generous people, and we're obviously very happy about the donation," said Wechsler. "The collection is very important and as a whole features some very well-known people as well as some young, up-and-coming talent."
Recognized photographers whose work is in the exhibit include Diane Arbus, Richard Avedon, Sherrie Levine, Duane Michals, Vik Muniz, Cindy Sherman, Mike and Doug Starn, William Wegman, and Joel-Peter Witkin. Prominent international photographers include Bernd and Hilla Becher (Germany), Laurent Millet (France), Tacita Dean (Great Britain), Hiroshi Sugimoto (Japan), and Mohammad Eslami-Rad (Iran). Wechsler added that the museum's photography collection was relatively small, and the Goldstein donation which will come over a period of years will "very significantly enhance what we have."

funds into the capital intensive sector.
The government had introduced the Insurance Bill in the Rajya Sabha in December 2008 to improve and revise laws relating to the sector in the wake of private participation.
The insurance amendment Bill is an omnibus legislation to change parts of three Acts: Insurance Act, 1938; Insurance Regulatory and Development (Irda) Act, 1999, and General Insurance Business Nationalisation Act.
In order to ensure that life insurance products are designed by companies to meet best interest of policyholders, Irda is working on draft guidelines on the subject. The
regulator is expected to come out with guidelines soon.
Besides, the regulator issued draft norms for initial public offering (IPO)- Irda (Issuance of Capital by General Insurance Companies) Regulations, 2012.
As per the draft norms, the regulator will take intoaccount the insurer's financial position, its capital structure and regulatory record before the share sale.
In order to ensure solvency of insurance companies, Irda introduced a uniform asset-liability management norms and asked them to take stress test to ascertain their ability to meet financial obligation in the event of a crisis.
The Asset-Liability Management (ALM) norms, Irda said are "critical for the sound management of the finances of the insurers that invests to meet its future cash flow needs and capital requirements".
Ghosh said, meanwhile, that challenging times continued for the industry this year, with insurers trying to adjust to the new regulatory framework.
Though the industry premium levels are still lower than last year; the decline seems to have plateaued, he said.
The life insurance industry recorded a premium income of Rs 2,87,072 crore during 2011-12, as against Rs 2,91,639 crore in the previous financial year, down 1.57 per cent.
At the same time, premium collected by life insurance companies dropped 3.45 per cent in the April-October period due to various factors that are influencing the financial sector as a whole.
The premiums collected by 23 private sector companies and lone state-owned LIC totalled Rs 53,814.09 crore during the period. They together had collected Rs 55,737.84 crore in the April-October 2011 period.
Despite slowdown in the industry during the year, new player entered the field, with Irda giving approval

TO WILLIAM TUDOR.Quincy, 23 September, 1818. If, in our search of principles, we have not been able to investigate any moral, philosophical, or rational foundation for any claim of dominion or property in America, in the English nation, their Parliament, or even in their king; if the whole appears a mere usurpation of fiction, fancy, and superstition, what was the right to dominion or property in the native Indians? Shall we say that a few handfuls of scattering tribes of savages have a right of dominion and property over a quarter of this globe capable of nourishing hundreds of millions of happy human beings? Why had not Europeans a right to come and hunt and fish with them? The Indians had a right to life, liberty, and property in common with all men; but what right to dominion or property beyond these? Every Indian had a right to his wigwam, his armor, his utensils; when he had burned the woods about him, and planted his corn and beans, his squashes and pompions, all these were his undoubted right; but will you infer from this, that he had right of exclusive dominion and property over immense regions of uncultivated wilderness that he never saw, that he might have the exclusive privilege of hunting and fishing in them, which he himself never expected or hoped to enjoy? These reflections appear to have occurred to our ancestors, and their general conduct was regulated by them. They do not seem to have had any confidence in their charter, as conveying any right, except against the king who signed it. They considered the right to be in the native Indians. And, in truth, all the right there was in the case lay there. They accordingly respected the Indian wigwams and poor plantations, their clam-banks and muscle-banks and oyster-banks, and all their property. Property in land, antecedent to civil society, or the social compact, seems to have been confined to actual possession and power of commanding it. It is the creature of convention, of social laws and artificial order. Our ancestors, however, did not amuse, nor puzzle themselves with these refinements. They considered the Indians as having rights; and they entered into negotiations with them, purchased and paid for their rights and claims, whatever they were, and procured deeds, grants, and quitclaims of all their lands, leaving them their habitations, arms, utensils, fishings, huntings, and plantations. There is scarcely a litigation at law concerning a title to land that may not be traced to an Indian deed. I have in my possession, somewhere, a parchment copy of a deed of Massasoit,1 of the township of Braintree incorporated by the legislature in one thousand six hundred and thirty-nine. And this was the general practice through the country, and has been to this day through the continent. In short, I see not how the Indians could have been treated with more equity or humanity than they have been in general in North America. The histories of Indian wars have not been sufficiently regarded. When Mr. Hutchinson's History of Massachusetts Bay first appeared, one of the most common criticisms upon it was the slight, cold, and unfeeling manner in which he passed over the Indian wars. I have heard gentlemen the best informed in the history of the country say, "he had no sympathy for the sufferings of his ancestors. Otherwise he could not have winked out of sight one of the most important, most affecting, afflicting, and distressing branches of the history of his country." There is somewhere in existence, as I hope and believe, a manuscript history of Indian wars, written by the Reverend Samuel Niles, of Braintree. Almost sixty years ago, I was an humble acquaintance of this venerable clergyman, then, as I believe, more than fourscore years of age. He asked me many questions, and informed me, in his own house, that he was endeavoring to recollect and commit to writing a history of Indian wars, in his own time, and before it, as far as he could collect information. This history he completed and prepared for the press; but no printer would undertake it, or venture to propose a subscription for its publication. Since my return from Europe, I inquired of his oldest son, the Honorable Samuel Niles, of Braintree, on a visit he made me at my own house, what was become of that manuscript. He laughed, and said it was still safe in the till of a certain trunk; but no encouragement had ever appeared for its publication. Ye liberal Christians! Laugh not at me, nor frown upon me, for thus reviving the memory of your once formidable enemy. I was then no more of a disciple of his theological science than ye are now. But I then revered and still revere the honest, virtuous, and pious man. Fas est et ab hoste doceri. And his memorial of facts might be of great value to this country.1 What infinite pains have been taken and expenses incurred in treaties, presents, stipulated sums of money, instruments of agriculture, education, what dangerous and unwearied labors, to convert these poor, ignorant savages to Christianity! And, alas! with how little success! The Indians are as bigoted to their religion as the Mahometans are to their Koran, the Hindoos to their Shaster, the Chinese to Confucius, the Romans to their saints and angels, or the Jews to Moses and the Prophets. It is a principle of religion, at bottom, which inspires the Indians with such an invincible aversion both to civilization and Christianity. The same principle has excited their perpetual hostilities against the colonists and the independent Americans. If the English nation, their Parliaments, and all their kings, have appeared to be totally ignorant of all these things, or at least to have vouchsafed no consideration upon them; if we, good, patriotic Americans, have forgotten them, Mr. Otis had not. He enlarged on the merits of our ancestors in undertaking so perilous, arduous, and almost desperate an enterprise, in disforesting bare creation, in conciliating and necessarily contending with Indian natives, in purchasing rather than conquering a quarter of the globe at their own expense, at the sweat of their own brows, at the hazard and sacrifice of their own lives, without the smallest aid, assistance, or comfort from the government of England, or from England itself as a nation; on the contrary, constant jealousy, envy, intrigue against their charter, their religion, and all their privileges. Laud, the pious tyrant, dreaded them, as if he foresaw they would overthrow his religion. Mr. Otis reproached the nation, parliaments, and kings, with injustice, ungenerosity, ingratitude, cruelty, and perfidy in all their conduct towards this country, in a style of oratory that I never heard equalled in this or any other country.1 [1 ] Slight inaccuracies occur here. The deed is a deed of release, in 1665, from Wampatuck, the son of Chickatabut, deceased, of all lands in Braintree, with certain exceptions therein named, granted by his predecessors. The township was incorporated in 1640. [1 ] A part of this history has been published by the Historical Society of Massachusetts, in their Transactions, vol. vi. of the third series. [1 ] By comparison of this sketch of Mr. Otis's speech with that taken at the time, vol. ii. pp. 521-525, as well as with Mr. Otis's published writings, it is difficult to resist the belief that Mr. Adams insensibly infused into this work much of the learning and of the breadth of views belonging to himself. It looks a little as Raphael's labor might be supposed to look, if he had undertaken to show how Perugino painted. It has a historical value independently of the generous endeavor to do justice to a man who had, at the moment, fallen into discredit and oblivion, most undeservedly. Later historians are giving him his fitting position. |

I try having the patience of a saint when I'm around the women. Sometimes it works but sometimes it doesn't! I try providing a little bit of comic relief for both them and myself.
Most of the time I need to compromise what I want to do and go with what my sisters say. Have you seen my sisters? They are VERY convincing! However if it's something I know I can win them over with, I don't hesitate to ask or bring it up.
There is a fine line between what I do in the store and working as a DJ. I do get a lot of business through the store, including affairs such as weddings, sweet 16's, and parties, so it's very helpful being there. When I'm at Diane and Co. however that's my first priority!
When the girls were getting ready behind the curtain prior to walking on stage, they were all dancing, screaming and having a great time. It's amazing how music can make people move and feel. I think I did a great job, and I'm always able to get new clients everywhere I go.
Cinderella's Closet was great. It was amazing to see my sister Christina coordinate such an upscale fashion show. I don't know how she's able to balance her hectic schedule.

How bad is the flow for Marguerite Davis?
We only want to use a family surname for the middle name and almost all of them don't go with Marguerite either because they start with F (don't want MF initials) or T (I think it is difficult to say with the ending of Marguerite) and Davis isn't much better because I feel like the D sound sort of runs into the end of Marguerite.
How bad does it sound to you?Mom to 2 girls ♥ Bayard McConnell "Bay" & Marguerite Davis "Maple"

I don't have any trouble with the -ite flowing into the D, but when I say Marguerite the emphasis is on the last syllable, and Davis's emphasis is on the first. It's not a big deal, it still works for me, and for a family name I'll shrug off most things like that.
September 18th, 2013 02:09 AM #5
I think Marguerite Davis works quite well actually.
Good move on avoiding the MF initials

I don't hold surnames as middle names to near the same 'flow' standards as most middle names. Marguerite Davis isn't ideal, but it's not bad at all. I don't think it's a problem.

Our research shows that people get happier when they spend money on others instead of themselves—but we don't really know why. Hearing about the experience of giving from members of the GOOD community will help us understand the "why" of the warm glow of giving.
Want to join in? Save this to your To-dos or mark as Done.
I think that i enjoy giving to other because you can see the a smile on their faces, a smile they are giving to you.
Hi Michael. I think part of the reason (other than altruistic reasons) is that buying things for ourselves comes with a burden (packaging, storage, a responsibility to maintain them), whilst giving to others means we can enjoy the warm glow of giving without the burden of responsibility that comes with ownership.
Just read the book btw, a great read. Confirmed what I already felt/knew so great to know I'm not mad (particularly related to valuing experiences over things).
We'll be doing a write-up of the book on our happy startups blog blog.thehappystartupschool.com.
Great point about the responsibility that comes with ownership. With things outside of gifts, though, like helping make tangible change happen, wouldn't the gift-giver of that change want to have a responsible follow-up to see that the change is effective?
I think about all the special people I have met and all of the interesting things I have learned as a result of my giving activities, however small they may be, and my life is so much richer for it all. I feel blessed to live a life as a member in so many communities full of love and support.
i bake for a local soup kitchen that is run by one of my favorite people in the world. i had the pleasure of growing up next to him (my best friend's dad) most of my life and when his wife passed away he decided to take over the whole gig. his heart and soul are invested in his small, yet busy soup kitchen. my daughter and i bake every sunday night for monday;s service. it brings us so much pleasure to be able to do this...as small as it may seem. it is nice to hear my daughter's gentle reminder come sunday evening ., , "it is time to start baking !" i feel that she has gained a new sense of gratitude since she started dong this...and i love that.
I like buying things for others because you can almost feel the experience with them like a child getting a new toy.
For some things, it's also great to see how such a small amount can make a big difference. Scholarships for girls in developing countries, malaria nets, (although not sexy) deworming pills for school children, etc. I feel like I can really make a difference in someone's life for the better with what is considered a small sum in the US.
Doing good never is done in a vacuum. It always returns in some form, which can be as simple as good feelings or, in some cases, something much more grand.
I track my expenses with an app called toshl. I love it, it has all this small monsters as graphics and stuff. However, I have a tag for "friends" so I track how much I spend 'on' friends. It is kind of a normal expense like coffee and coffee makes me happy.
The other day I came into the office and couple friends were already there. I wanted to get a cappuccino - the best in town - and asked if they wanted one too adn yes they did. To get back from the coffee shop has quite a challenge with 5 cappuccinos - made me really happy to see them smile, cause if someone brings me a cappuccino I am really happy as well!
i don't feel any warm glow by giving, however i do feel it's wrong and immoral not to give, so it makes me feel OK
When it's personal, it's often the connection—seeing the person light up because they appreciate the gift or the gesture. When it's anonymous giving to a project or organization, it's the larger feeling of connectedness—knowing that so much depends on looking out for one another, and that small contributions add up. There's also the sense of gratitude: I'm lucky to have this person in my life to give something to (and the funds to donate to a worthy project or organization).

Detroit Tigers Grades for Every Player in April
By Ron Juckett ,
Justin Verlander
The Detroit Tigers closed the first month of the season with a 15-10 record and a half game lead over the resurgent Kansas City Royals in the American League Central.
While their standing will be the ultimate judge of how successful their season will be, we can still break down how well or poorly each of the 25 pieces of the puzzle named the 2013 Detroit Tigers are doing after the first month.
No one likes report card day, it's something that we all had to go through. After a rough 9-9 start, this report card looks a lot better at month's end than it did a week ago.
Broken down in groups, here is how the Tigers graded for the month in the old-fashioned A-F grading scale.
*All statistics as of April 30 and courtesy of Baseball-Reference.
Offensively, both Alex Avila and Brayan Pena have struggled. All three of Avilia's RBI came on solo home runs and his OPS+ stands at 48.
Pena—a below-average hitter to begin with—has an OPS+ of 37. Remember, an average batter has an OPS+ of 100.
Defensively, Avila has had two passed balls and thrown out 24 percent of runners trying to steal. That is actually the AL average.
Pena has not thrown out a runner in three attempts and has a passed ball in six starts.
Even with the success they have had in calling games, this is a weak spot.
Avila: D
Pena: D-
When Jhonny Peralta's .292 batting average is the worst of the four starting infielders, you have a very productive offense.
Peralta, along with Omar Infante, Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder, have all produced. Cabrera and Fielder have combined for 11 homers and 55 RBI.
Infante has struck out only five times in 85 at-bats and Peralta has drawn two intentional walks.
Defensively, the quartet has made only five errors this season. They need to turn more double plays—only Toronto has turned less—but they are not making pitchers needing to make four outs to get the three needed in an inning.
Cabrera: A
Fielder: A
Infante: A
Peralta: A
Torii Hunter has quickly established himself as a fan favorite. His .370 average in April would project out to a career-high by 57 points if it held.
Austin Jackson has reached base 35.5 percent of the time and has scored 25 runs. Jackson has stolen five bases without getting caught as well.
Andy Dirks has yet to recover from a collision with a wall in spring training and has struggled mightily at the plate, hitting .218. However, he has swiped two bases.
Defensively, the trio has yet to make an error and has thrown out four would-be advancing base runners.
Hunter has excelled, Jackson has met expectations and Dirks has struggled.
Hunter: A+
Jackson: B-
Dirks: F
April was not kind to designated hitter Victor Martinez. Coming off an injury that kept him sidelined for all of 2012, Martinez hit .221 for the opening month in 24 games.
Batting behind Cabrera and Fielder in the heart of the lineup, Martinez has not hit a home run.
He does have five doubles and has struck out just 12 times to 10 walks. He is seeing the ball, just not hitting it.
Matt Tuiasosopo has done a brilliant job filling in for the injured Dirks along with spelling Fielder at first and an occasional spot start at DH.
In 28 at-bats, Tuiasosopo hit .321, one home run and drove in six.
Don Kelly and Ramon Santiago have struggled at the plate, failing to drive in a run in 45 combined at-bats.
Martinez: D
Tuiasosopo: A-
Kelly: F
Santiago: F
This was going to have to be the bedrock if the Tigers were going to meet the expectations that come with a division title—four-fifths of that rotation has delivered.
Anibal Sanchez has proven to be the best of the bunch early.
At 3-1, he has an ERA of 1.34, not allowed a home run so far and a rotation-best 7 hits allowed per nine innings.
Max Scherzer has a team high 46 strikeouts and a 3-0 record.
Even with an impressive 13.2 strikeouts per nine rate, he may be throwing too many strikes as his 8.3 hits per nine is the highest rate of anyone not named Rick Porcello. His ERA of 4.02 is not bad, but not great either.
Doug Fister is trusting his defense behind him to do their job.
At 4-0, his 2.38 ERA in five starts is outstanding. However, he has hit eight batters.
Justin Verlander?
He is pitching better than his 3-2 record. With a 1.83 ERA in six starts, he is his usual workhorse self. Still, the velocity on the fastball is down a bit and his 2.5 walks per nine is the worst on the starting staff.
Then there is Rick Porcello.
An 8.84 ERA is not worthy of being in any rotation. His 19 earned runs allowed is more than Verlander and Sanchez combined.
Sanchez: A+
Scherzer: B
Fister: A
Verlander: B+
Porcello: F
The Tigers biggest question mark coming into the season has not been as shaky as some feared.
Sure, they had to re-sign Jose Valverde to actually come in and close games, but Darin Downs, Joaquin Benoit and Drew Smyly have pitched lights out.
Phil Coke, Octavio Dotel and Brayan Villarreal, however, have struggled.
Villarreal ended up getting demoted back to Triple-A Toledo. Coke and Dotel are on the disabled list.
Along with Benoit, Al Alburquerque has pitched 12 times this season. Control seems to be Alburquerque's biggest concern. In 12 innings, he has struck out 21, but thrown four wild pitches and walked 10.
Downs and Smyly have a WHIP under one and Benoit has surrendered two home runs.
Valverde has done very well in his limited time back with Detroit and Bruce Rondon's two appearances are night enough to grade. Rondon's lack of ability to throw strikes did earn him another trip to Toledo, but that was in May.
Smyly: A
Alburquerque: B+
Downs: B+
Benoit: B
Valverde: A
Coke: C-
Dotel: F
Villarreal: F-
Rondon: Incomplete

Smart Meter Devices and The Effect of Feedback on Residential Electricity Consumption: Evidence from a Natural Experiment in Northern Ireland
Using a unique set of data and exploiting a large-scale natural experiment, we estimate the effect of real-time usage information on residential electricity consumption in Northern Ireland. Starting in April 2002, the utility replaced prepayment meters with "smart" meters that allow the consumer to track usage in real-time. We rely on this event, account for the endogeneity of price and plan with consumption through a plan selection correction term, and find that the provision of information is associated with a decline in electricity consumption of up to 20%. We find that the reduction is robust to different specifications, selection-bias correction methods and subsamples of the original data. At £15-17 per tonne of CO2e (2009£), the smart meter program delivers cost-effective reductions in carbon dioxide emissions.Download Info

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4
On Tap at The Brew Cafe in Ardmore, this is Tired Hands black winter lager
Deep Sleep pours out pretty black but further inspection sees this as an extremely brown ale with black runnings within it. The foam on top is tan colored with a firmness that sticks around a bit. Nice sheets of lace on the way down. This one has some smoked malt characteristics with a nice pine burst seeping out with addition of Simcoe hops and actual pine needles. The smoked malt is pleasant and add another layer to the musk. This is a well done black lager, a bit tastier than your average schwartzbier. This has tastes of pine, roast flavor, vegetal hop taste, orange and earth. I like the mix between the simcoe and the smoked malt, interesting clash. Feel is a step below medium with a smooth carb that does not get too bitey. This is a winner and a bit off the beaten path, sure to warm you up in the winter, Deep Sleep will probably go well with some holiday dinners with the fam. Easy, light and not to technical.

on tap at the brewpub
Pours an inky blackness with a bubbled, frothy tanned head. Retains well, fading into a foamy collar with spotty lacing on the glass.
Warmly smoked malts in the nose with hoppy pine and roasted warmth. Earthy and slightly sweet with chocolate nuttiness.
Notes of earthy smoke and pine needles right up front. Slightly hoppy and bitter with dark roasted malts and soft chocolate sweetness. Nutty and dark with continuing smokiness and a touch of peat. Finishes with a soft alcohol warmth.
Medium body, decent carbonation, creamy and bubbly on the tongue. Really tasty smoked beer without going completely overboard, although it was difficult to find the appropriate category for this one. It's definitely an American Black, but lager brewed, and not quite a Schwarzbier. Either way, I enjoyed this enough to bring home a 1L growler to enjoy for the the evening, as it felt perfect for the frozen, awful weather we're having here.

look: 3.75 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.75
Served on-tap at the Brewpub. Reviewed from notes.
A - Pours Deep brown bordering on black, creamy off white head.
S - Smells of smokey peat, roasted nuts, dark roasted chocolate malt, some piney hops and a bit of light funk? I am just not sure about this one after this nose.
T - Taste is pretty similar to the nose. Starts off with the smoke and light nuttiness slowly giving way to the chocolate malt, hops and that light funk again. Finish is smokey but not overpowering, it lingers but not for very long.
M - Heavy body with moderate carbonation. Smokey, roasted feel is just a little off-putting for some reason.
O - The flavors are decent but all over the place. Still not sure about that light funk aroma/flavor. It isn't off-putting but it kinda gets in the way of the true flavors.

First had: on tap at the brewpub
"But no more gold for the traitors who possess the ancient ruins
By their untruth spells they take the world and the earth breathing fire
On the endless oil seas never ending towers of flames..."
Dark brown-black pour, with a pinky finger of foamy tan head; decent retention and lacing. Aromas of roasted malts, toasted bread, light char. Taste started off roasty light a light schwarzbier, notes of coffee and cocoa, pine needles, giving way to over-toasted pumpernickel. The smoke/char was quite mellow, which worked well. Good drinkability, body was about medium, no question about this beer being a lager, but all the flavors melded well to create something truly unique. As you would expect from Tired Hands.

3.34/5 rDev -14.4%
look: 3.75 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.5
A - Nearly black, off-white head has good retention and lacing.
S - Some roast, chocolate, light hop aromas. Something seemed off as it warmed though, almost like dishwater to an extent, becoming more prevalent.
T - Roast is stronger with a gentle smokiness. Had I not known it smoked beforehand, I may not have picked it up. Rounds out with chocolate then a nice pine hop bitterness bite at the end. Luckily, the off-aromas didn't carry over into the taste.
M - Medium body, medium carb, finishes mostly clean and bitter.
O - Rauchbier that's not very smokey, but has a decent depth of flavor. Clean up the smell and this would be very nice.

look: 4 | smell: 1.25 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3
This poured out as a nice dark brown color with a light tan head on top. The retention and lacing were pretty good on this one. The smell not appealing to me at all... Not sure why, but it just smelled like something wasn't quite right with this beer. The taste has a nice lightly smoked profile with some spicy bitterness in the finish. The mouthfeel of the beer was medium bodied and remains drinkable from start to finish. Overall I would have liked this a lot more but there was just something about the aroma that not only I thought but my two friends also found unsettleing. Everything else about this beer was fine though.

Issue Date: | 2000 |
Abstract: | The rotationally resolved $S_{1} \leftarrow S_{0}$ electronic spectrum of the 1,2-dimethoxybenzene/$D_{2}O$ complex has been analyzed. The $D_{2}O$ complex appears $126 cm^{-1}$ to the blue of the bare molecule origin. The complex spectrum exhibits two subbands separated by 45 MHz. These spectra have an intensity ratio of 2 to 1, with the stronger band shifted to lower frequency. Possible motions of the water molecule that are suggested by these data will be discussed. |
