SummaryBackground: The process of guanosine 5′-diphosphate L-fucose (GDP-L-fucose) biosynthesis is conserved throughout evolution from prokaryotes to man. In animals, GDP-L-fucose is the substrate of fucosyltransferases that participate in the biosynthesis and remodeling of glycoconjugates, including ABH blood group and Lewis-system antigens. The 'de novo' pathway of GDP-L-fucose biosynthesis from GDP-D-mannose involves a GDP-D-mannose 4,6 dehydratase (GMD) and a GDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-D-mannose epimerase/reductase (GMER). Neither of the catalytic mechanisms nor the three-dimensional structures of the two enzymes has been elucidated yet. The severe leukocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD) type II genetic syndrome is known to result from deficiencies in this de novo pathway.Results: The crystal structures of apo- and holo-GMER have been determined at 2.1 å and 2.2 å resolution, respectively. Each subunit of the homodimeric (2 × 34 kDa) enzyme is composed of two domains. The N-terminal domain, a six-stranded Rossmann fold, binds NADP+; the C-terminal domain (about 100 residues) displays an α/β topology. NADP+ interacts with residues Arg12 and Arg36 at the adenylic ribose phosphate; moreover, a protein loop based on the Gly–X–X–Gly–X–X–Gly motif (where X is any amino acid) stabilizes binding of the coenzyme diphosphate bridge. The nicotinamide and the connected ribose ring are located close to residues Ser107, Tyr136 and Lys140, the putative GMER active-site center.Conclusions: The GMER fold is reminiscent of that observed for UDP-galactose epimerase (UGE) from Escherichia coli. Consideration of the enzyme fold and of its main structural features allows assignment of GMER to the reductase–epimerase–dehydrogenase (RED) enzyme homology superfamily, to which short-chain dehydrogenase/reductases (SDRs) also belong. The location of the NADP+ nicotinamide ring at an interdomain cleft is compatible with substrate binding in the C-terminal domain.

Mutations in the Human UDP-N-Acetylglucosamine 2-Epimerase Gene Define the Disease Sialuria and the Allosteric Site of the Enzyme
The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 64, Issue 6, 1 June 1999, Pages 1563-1569
Raili Seppala, Veli-Pekka Lehto and William A. Gahl
Sialuria is a rare inborn error of metabolism characterized by cytoplasmic accumulation and increased urinary excretion of free N-acetylneuraminic acid (NeuAc, sialic acid). Overproduction of NeuAc is believed to result from loss of feedback inhibition of uridinediphosphate-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase (UDP-GlcNAc 2-epimerase) by cytidine monophosphate-N-acetylneuraminic acid (CMP-Neu5Ac). We report the cloning and characterization of human UDP-GlcNAc 2-epimerase cDNA, with mutation analysis of three patients with sialuria. Their heterozygote mutations, R266W, R266Q, and R263L, indicate that the allosteric site of the epimerase resides in the region of codons 263–266. The heterozygous nature of the mutant allele in all three patients reveals a dominant mechanism of inheritance for sialuria.

GDP-fucose synthetase from Escherichia coli: structure of a unique member of the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase family that catalyzes two distinct reactions at the same active site
Structure, Volume 6, Issue 12, 15 December 1998, Pages 1601-1612
William S Somers, Mark L Stahl and Francis X Sullivan
SummaryBackground: In all species examined, GDP-fucose is synthesized from GDP-mannose in a three-step reaction catalyzed by two enzymes, GDP-mannose 4,6 dehydratase and a dual function 3,5-epimerase-4-reductase named GDP-fucose synthetase. In this latter aspect fucose biosynthesis differs from that of other deoxy and dideoxy sugars, in which the epimerase and reductase activities are present as separate enzymes. Defects in GDP-fucose biosynthesis have been shown to affect nodulation in bacteria, stem development in plants, and are associated with the immune defect leukocyte adhesion deficiency type II in humans.Results: We have determined the structure of GDP-fucose synthetase from Escherichia coli at 2.2 å resolution. The structure of GDP-fucose synthetase is closely related to that of UDP-galactose 4-epimerase and more distantly to other members of the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase family. We have also determined the structures of the binary complexes of GDP-fucose synthetase with its substrate NADPH and its product NADP+. The nicotinamide cofactors bind in the syn and anti conformations, respectively.Conclusions: GDP-fucose synthetase binds its substrate, NADPH, in the proper orientation (syn) for transferring the 4-pro-S hydride of the nicotinamide. We have observed a single binding site in GDP-fucose synthetase for the second substrate, GDP-4-keto,6-deoxy-mannose. This implies that both the epimerization and reduction reactions occur at the same site in the enzyme. As is the case for all members of the short-chain family of dehydrogenase/reductases, GDP-fucose synthetase retains the Ser-Tyr-Lys catalytic triad. We propose that this catalytic triad functions in a mechanistically equivalent manner in both the epimerization and reduction reactions. Additionally, the X-ray structure has allowed us to identify other residues that are potentially required for substrate binding and catalysis.

The crystal structure of ADP-l-glycero-d-mannoheptose 6-epimerase: catalysis with a twist

- Background: ADP-l-glycero-d-mannoheptose 6-epimerase (AGME) is required for lipopolysaccharide (LPS) biosynthesis in most genera of pathogenic and non-pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria. It catalyzes the interconversion of ADP-d-glycero-d-mannoheptose and ADP-l-glycero-d-mannoheptose, a precursor of the seven-carbon sugar l-glycero-d-mannoheptose (heptose). Heptose is an obligatory component of the LPS core domain; its absence results in a truncated LPS structure resulting in susceptibility to hydrophobic antibiotics. Heptose is not found in mammalian cells, thus its biosynthetic pathway in bacteria presents a unique target for the design of novel antimicrobial agents.Results: The structure of AGME, in complex with NADP and the catalytic inhibitor ADP-glucose, has been determined at 2.0 Å resolution by multiwavelength anomalous diffraction (MAD) phasing methods. AGME is a homopentameric enzyme, which crystallizes with two pentamers in the asymmetric unit. The location of 70 crystallographically independent selenium sites was a key step in the structure determination process. Each monomer comprises two domains: a large N-terminal domain, consisting of a modified seven-stranded Rossmann fold that is associated with NADP binding; and a smaller α/β C-terminal domain involved in substrate binding.Conclusions: The first structure of an LPS core biosynthetic enzyme leads to an understanding of the mechanism of the conversion between ADP-d-glycero-d-mannoheptose and ADP-l-glycero-d-mannoheptose. On the basis of its high structural similarity to UDP-galactose epimerase and the three-dimensional positions of the conserved residues Ser116, Tyr140 and Lys144, AGME was classified as a member of the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase (SDR) superfamily. This study should prove useful in the design of mechanistic and structure-based inhibitors of the AGME catalyzed reaction.

It should be a condition of employment at every taxpayer-supported and public university law trade school that every faculty member is admitted to practice in that state.
Campos is struggling mightily to appear legitimate after the silliness of his blog commentary was exposed. I'm surprised you're still doing stories on him. Did you not read the backstory?
Bloat – I'm surprised to see you "out there sinning." I thought the "Irish linen" had finished you off.
So, are you guys going to sign it?
Thank you, WSJ, for helping to bring attention to the petition. Since all it's asking for is full, accurate disclosure of material facts to prospective students, there is NO GOOD REASON for law school faculty and administrators not to sign it.
I have been practicing for 21 years in Illinois. I am on the verge of asking a client to get me in at Lowe's. It is that bad. I know many attorneys who are much better than me and can not find work or clients. I has been that way since 2007. Recruiters told me that they recieve 1500 attorney appl;icants for every job. One of my colleagues works at Target. They gave her a job because they believed attorneys won't steal because getting disbarred is a great deterrent.
A simple solution. Consolidate ALL law schools into one, hire DeVry to run it, they'll rachet the tuition up to say couple hunndred thousand a year (to theoretically cover expenses) for each class, with 10,000 in each course, resulting in 95% drop in enrollment..
Problem solved.

The censure this week of Rutgers School of Law at Camden has put a spotlight on the dreaded LSAT – the rite of passage for anyone who wants to attend law school.
The number of law school admission tests administered in October is down nearly 11% from the previous year, according to new data from the Law School Admission Council.
Inspired by Ernest Hemingway, a legal writing professor at Marquette University challenged her students to write a story in six words.
The job market for graduating law students may not be quite as alarming as feared, according to a new paper by a law professor.
Here's another wrinkle to add to the realm of terrorism law, which has been on our radar this week. As horrific as it was, the Boston Marathon bombing may not qualify as a terrorist attack for the purposes of insurance coverage.

In 1792, the village of Hadley Green executed a man for stealing the Countess of Ashwood�s historic jewels. Fifteen years later, questions still linger. Was it a crime of greed�or of passion?
When Declan O�Connor, Earl of Donnelly, arrives at Hadley Green to meet with Lily Boudine, the new countess of Ashwood, he knows instantly that the lovely woman who welcomes him is not who she pretends to be. In an attempt to avoid an unwanted marriage, Keira Hannigan has assumed her cousin�s identity and is staying at the estate while Lily is abroad. When Declan threatens to expose her, Keira convinces him to guard her secret, then enlists him in her investigation of the missing jewels, for she now believes an innocent man was hanged.
Unable to deny the beautiful, exasperating Keira�or their simmering passion�Declan reluctantly agrees. But neither is prepared for the dangerous stranger who threatens to reveal Keira�s lies . . . and Declan knows he must protect Keira at all costs, for she is the woman who now owns his heart.

I'm trying not to cry as I write this, but I'm feeling very stressed and distraught about this and I need help. We love and adore our near 18 month old Michelangelo. He's our beautiful precious baby boy and we care about him very much and we love and care about and adore our 2 adult kittycats who have been an important part of our life for several years now - they're both 8 years old - and I help bring them into the world. We've been their parents since they were kittens. Unfortunately, there isn't much I can do at the moment because my family is preparing for a big move from Santa Fe, NM to Oregon the 1st week of Oct. and we won't really be able to do anything about this problem until we move into a new place, but I'd like some helpful caring supportive advice for when we do move up there.
Our baby is in an active crawling and walking stage and he's very playful and is curious about everything. He's very much like a cat, it's very cute, but he crawls very fast toward our kitties and screams and the girl cat, who's very skittish and gets scared, and her brofur gets annoyed and ignores him and just walks away and they both hide. I know this is just a phase and it's temporary, but it hurts and upsets me and they can't interact and play together yet. I'm worried and scared that Mikey is going to continue being this way and he won't learn to be gentle and kind and caring and tender with our animals and other animals and his excitability will make it so no furry friends will want to be near him. We feed him healthy organic dairy-free vegetarian food so his diet is non-violent.
He's a very special wise Soul and I thought Indigo children intuitively know what's right and wrong, but is it still necessary to teach him and when would be a good time to teach him? Is it too soon now? Am I going to need to be patient and let the cats run and hide and stay away from home until hopefully Mikey grows out of this phase and calms down a little? I love babies and children, but no offense Mommies, I'm not in love with the toddler phase. He's driving me crazy and I'm not proud of saying that. I hope Mommies are ok with my saying that. I've read about and seen babies and very young children gently interacting with family cats and dogs with no problem, though I don't know what the ages were. When will he grow out of this screaming for everything everywhere phase? He also is very aggressive when he reaches out to pet them and I try to help him understand to be gentle and caring, but I get the feeling he doesn't understand and is still too young to understand and learn this. I feel very sad and discouraged. Thank you for listening. Please help.

Its simple this color is beautiful if you're willing to work with it. The formula is sheer but totally buildable. First coat is just a wash of color 2nd coat is is streak central but the 3rd coat looks beautiful true to the color in the bottle. If you're really looking for an intense color then for 4 coats but 3 was enough for me. Not for everyone but I really like it.

ahhh such a gorgeous colour!! im in love with sea/ocean/mermaid inspired colours and this is perfect!
a green dark bluey colour. the shine effect reminds me of a shining seashell :)
I need 2 to 3 coats to achieve the perfect look. Seems like so many hates this but i actually dont mind it because i rarely make messy applications.
I guess all i can say is dont blame it toi much on the formulation

What a disappointment! The colour in the bottle looks so mermaid-like but the formula is so watery that it would take more than 3 coats to achieve that kind of opaqueness colour. Considering that OPI ask for AUD$20 per bottle it would be a bad investment. I have since found other dupes and substitutes of turquoise from other brands such as Revlon and Zoya to be better.

This color reminds me of two things: Miami grandmas and the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance from Back to the Future. A pretty, kinda mermaid-y, high shine turqoise- green. It's looking kinda campy on my fingernails at the moment- I think this color is best on the toes and with a tan.

I have over 20 shades and finishes of different brands of turquoise polishes and this one is the prettiest of them all. BUT it goes on sheer and uneven the first couple of coats. I had to do 4 coats to get this color to totally even out to bottle color. The shimmer is just beautiful. Its gives it a depth that my other shimmer turquoises somehow do not have. Essie Trophy Wife is one I have closest to this shade but it is not a dupe. It is slightly off and the shimmer isnt as intense.

Just terrible. One coat is wimpy and translucent. Two coats and it's an uneven mess. Three coats, still not passable. I gave up after three, so I would say you need four coats minimum. The colour is not unique IMO, just a shimmery turquoise.

Being from Austin, I might be biased, but I love this color. If you are willing to jump through a half dozen coats (a common OPI problem), this color comes out great. Of course if you aren't, this is a pale, watery disappointment.

When I see this colour I think of mermaids! It is soooooo incredibly pretty and excellent quality. The last time I wore this, I paired it with an Inglot flakie green polish on top and it seriously looked like scales on a mermaids tail! The downside is that you need three coats and even then it's not completely opaque. I've done a nail of the day on my blog of my mermaid nails (this with flakie over the top). Please check it out for a full review and pictures!!!

Thanks to Orangesol for the share on this one. 750ml cork and caged bottle into a snifter. The brew appears a clear light copper color with a white finger of froth. Some spotty strings of patchy lace hang on the glass. A swirl revives about a finger back to the surface.
The aroma is fruity with notes of mildly funky/footy cheese. A nice contrast of citrus fruit is also present with a mild amount of medicinal character. As it warms up, it displays a little bit of tropical quality blending to vinous with a hint of oak.
The taste is tart and fruity with some herbal qualities and mild raw oak. There is a bit more bitterness than I was expecting that comes across rindy like grapefruit juice with an addition of something more vinous. The aftertaste brings in a bit of funk like cheese which was more prevalent in the aroma.
This is a light bodied brew with a modest amount of carbonation. It is overall pretty darn easy drinking and deeply complex/enjoyable. The comment was made during the tasting of this that it carries quite a bit of consecration quality. I can sort of buy into that idea. It certainly carries some familiarity about it with regards to the batches of consecration that are "on" and not harsh around the edges. I look forward to enjoying this one again with some age.

Thanks Mike!
Ruby red grapefruit hues in the body scare off the white head. Freshly blended fruit aroma gets a shot in the arm from tart brett and Belgian yeast. Smells really nice.
As others have mentioned, this tastes like Consecration & Supplication spent a messy night together. The best qualities of each shine through with a freshly fruity tang. Should age nicely in the near term, but honestly this is drinking great right now.

On-tap at RR & Toronado...a bunch of them...while celebrating T25 all weekend long.
Pours a ruby reddish color, off-white head, thin collar. Smells like dark sour cherries, light acidity, dark fruit, oak..."Consecration Light". Tastes likes Consecration, but perhaps a little "easier" to enjoy. Dark fruit, oak, stone fruit, light cherry, some funk, and nice acidity.
I like this beer better then Consecration but not T20 (when fresh). I was able to enjoy some pours at RR and the Monday following Toronado to really think about this one. I think it will improve with age and lose some of oak, but we shall see, I guess.

Enjoyed on draft at Toronado 3 or 4 times over the course of more than a week.
A: Pours a deep reddish-brown, with a bit of glow to it. One-finger head quickly dissolving to an off-white ring of bubbles around the edge. Minimal lacing.
S: Pungent sour and funk. Some red fruit and a little oak, though less than I would have assumed.
T: Basically sour, currants, astringency, and a hint of something dark. This is much more sour at release than T20 was. Really intriguing flavor but challenging also. I could not drink this all day (as opposed to, say, Beatification), but I do finish my glass wanting to drink more, in part because I feel I haven't fully grasped its flavors yet. Lots of elements, not all working together.
M: Perfect for a blended sour. Layered, a little slick, and beautifully carbonated. Russian River never falls short here.
O: A very good effort, but not as excellent as I hoped. I think it will continue to improve in the bottle, and some of the harsher flavors will mellow. If this integrates with age, I think it can become something special.

750mL bottle poured into taster - thanks goon
Pours a hazed amber, copper color with darker hues. Coating of off-white head slowly fades into cloudy film and some spots of lacing dotting the glass.
Smells similar to a combination of RR beers - red wine, oak, bretty funk, lactic sourness, currants. Light warmth, slightly earthy, touches of grapes and dark fruit.
Acidic sourness with oaked red wine notes, grape skins and dark fruit. Hints of currants, cherry and raisin with a bretty, yeasty funk. Soft leather and earthy backbone. Finishes aggressively sour and dry on the tongue.
Lighter medium body, higher carbonation, dry and lingering on the tongue. I expected a world class wild ale and that's exactly what I experienced - I might have to seek out another bottle of this for down the road. We all agreed this reminded us of Consecration/Supplication, but with more components.

Poured into a tulip glass from a 750ml bottle.
"Ale Aged in Oak Barrels with Currants Added"
Poured in celebration of my 1100th review and me obtaining my Professional Engineering license.
Pours a nice deep deep copper color with some garnet and ruby hues. There is some very slight haze to the brew and some active bubbles can be seen rushing from the bottom of the glass. There is a nice half inch head that forms that is of medium density. The head is off white and a nice thin mat sticks around for a while leaving some slight lacing.
Aroma is as always extremely complex. Musty notes of wood start things off mixed in with the balsamic vinegar tartness in the nose. Some notes of green apple skin as well as more vinous tartness and notes. There are some deeper dark fruit notes in the background that can be perceived faintly. Notes of wet tobacco are present as well as those traditional dry leathery aromas. Nice funky notes throughout the middle of the brew.
The flavor starts off with some acidic and vinegary tartness. Vinous mix of sweetness and tartness with some slight dark fruit sweetness in the background that is faint but helps balance the brew. Very funky and musty wood notes follow the initial mouth puckering sourness. As the brew warms the tartness isn't as acidic and seems more fruity (apples and cherries) and melds more with the slight currant flavors. There is some good earthy notes of tobacco mixed in with the wood and very dry leathery notes. The brew is light and of a light-medium body. Very complex but also very sour and acidic. Overall this is a good brew. One that should definitely be shared.

Thanks to Rado for sharing this one at Wowcoolman's tasting.
Pours a murky honey orange with a foamy beige head that settles to a film on top of the beer. Foamy streaks of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is sour and tart with some fruit, vinegar, and acidic aromas. Taste is much the same with an acidic finish. This beer has a good level of carbonation with a crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a very good beer that is tasty and very drinkable.

A - A nice half finger of off white and yellow head. Body is clear and a gorgeous brown and amber color. Some light lacing.
S - Very well balanced between tart, sweet, and funk. Raspberry, green raspberry, brett, and great red wine. Excellent.
T - Tons of green tartness of unripe fruits and earthiness. Slight white wine, green raspberry. As it warms, more brett comes out and the taste becomes more funky. Still well balanced. More red wine as well with warmth.
M - The greenness of the beer makes the acidity really stick to your tongue. Lighter carbonation and medium body. Slight drying.
O - Like eating a green raspberry. Super tart yet still very pleasant. The smoothness and how it all comes together is amazing. It is unlike anything I've had and I can't believe 6 beers came together like this.

Last Bottle at Monks Cafe, still shooting myself for paying the amount of money i did to try it, but what the hell.
A- The appearance is very nice, one finger egg shell white head, beautiful lacing sticks to the glass, dark brown/ burnt orange color.
S- Very nice aroma, sour/funk upfront, dark fruits are present, plums, raisins, sour lemon.
T- This is delicious, sour funkiness, puckering, lemon notes, dark fruits, plum, currants show as well, oak comes out, reminds me of Consecration in a way, the abv is very hidden, would not know i just drank a 750 ml bottle of an 8% beer on my own.
M- Medium/ big mouthfeel, clean on the palate, dry finish, well carbonated
O- This beer is very satisfying, is it worth the amount of money i paid for it, i would have to say no, but i don't regret paying for it, it was enjoyable and a nice big beer to celebrate returning to America.

Bottle generously shared at the Peg's tasting on 3/8/13.
A- Pours a caramel/maroonish color, thin off-white head.
S- Tart aroma of dark fruits, cherry and red wine, some oak.
T- Similar to the aroma, tart flavor, nice lactic acidity with lots of fruit and vinous flavors. Has a nice musty funkiness to it with wet oak.
M- Medium-bodied, nice carbonation with a dry finish.
O- A damn nice beer, probably one of the better sours I've had from Russian River, really tasty stuff.

Thanks, Chris.
Pouring a clear mahogany red with a thin but lingering off- white head with excellent retention and modest lacing, this beer looks pretty good. The nose is brightly fruity and sour with Red wine, grape skins, currants, as well as a little balsamic vinegar. There's a touch of a light fruity brightness that really brings to mind Temptation. Oak character is reserved. While reminiscent of Consecration, it doesn't have the deeper leathery and earthy notes. A touch of lime is present as well. The funky notes are a blend of barnyard, hay and maybe some pot pourri?
The palate opens bright and citrusy with lime and a modest lactic acid bite. Acetic character is minimal on the palate. Quite a bit of fruit is present, with cherries, currants , white grapes ( closer to verjus, really) red grapes and even some plums. The sourness is intense, probably more than it needs to be, but it is tastefully done in that it does complement the fruit notes, as well as the moderate sweetness, one that again brings to mind fruit, in an enjoyable way. The sweetness is a blend of cocoa and buckwheat honey, very enjoyable. Oak character is minimal , though the sourness does sensitize the palate to the mild level of tannins present. The sourness does whelm the funk notes that are present on the nose, which is unfortunate. The finish is long, juicy and moderately vinous, with a strong lactic sourness. Ultimately, this is an excellent addition to the Russian River pantheon of sours, really bringing to mind a blend of Consecration and Temptation with the unexpected sweetness that's at a modest level really working.

Thanks to jedwards for breaking this out. 750ml corked and caged bottle served in a taster. Pours an amber/honey hue with a slightly hazy clarity. Nose expresses notes of vinegar, sour cherries and a trace of funkiness. Taste is tart and vinegary with some acetic acid and no real fruit presence. Mouthfeel is light and lively with an acidity that stimulates the salivary glands and continues to linger between quaffs. Finish is pleasant and semi-dry, but not puckeringly so. Overall, a very good American Wild Ale. I'm not sure how this beer will age over time (I suspect the fruit character in the nose will diminish); however, it's drinking quite well right now.

Thanks Frank for sending this! Shared with a few BAs.
As instructed, drank at ~60 degrees.
Clear, dark amber-brown with plenty of effervescence. Smells pretty gueuze like but with its own personality --- Fruit jam and acid. Tastes sour, oaky, tannic, rind-y and lactic. Effervescent but not harsh on the palate with a pretty light feel. I had no idea that this was 8+ % ABV. Very nice.

Notes taken from a bottleshare at the Phoenix Sun in NYC. Thanks kindly to Mike for sharing.
a - looks like an amber ale a bit.
s - nice brett like smell. some sour and funky currants.
t - tastes like supplication in a wine barrel. some funk, but not as much as the nose suggests. tastes better than it smells. good one.
m - fairly smooth, good carbonation. not fruity or too sour.
o - pretty good. doesn't blow my mind. tastes like a russian river sour. solidly made but nothing light years ahead of RR's regular lineup.

750ml bottle had at the Toronado in San Diego on a recent trip poured into a stemmed glass. I painfully had a bottle of this break in transit after securing one in a trade, so was very happy to finally be able to sample this one.
A - Pours a medium amber color, a bit dirty and a touch cloudy/yeasty/hazy with a touch of red. A thin white head forms briefly and fizzes away quickly to leave a small collar around the edge of the glass.
S - Funky and earthy...barnyard, wet hay, grass. Low tartness, lemony citrus, limes, wine-like aromas with a mix of tannic red and acidic white wine aromas.
T - Quite wine-like on first impression with some cherryish fruitiness, tannins, lots of woody and bitter oak...quite sour/lactic - far more than the aroma indicated. Grapey, citrusy with lemon and lime, funky, earthy and grassy. Lightly phenolic as it warms in the glass.
M - Sour and puckering...mouth watering with every sip. Lightish to medium in body, strongly fizzy carbonation...almost soda-like in feel. Lower level funkiness, acidic and citrusy. Wine and wine barrel character.
O - Very happy to finally try this. Fairly intense sour/wild ale, lower level funk, very acidic and citrusy with welcome wine contributions. Excellent wild ale...didn't totally blow me away, but it is hard to find faults here either. Would definitely recommend seeking this out and giving it a try...I personally would love to have another bottle of this to sample again.

On tap at the Toronado anniversary party. Pours a dark amber with a small white head that has decent retention and leaves some light lacing on the glass. The aroma is quite fruity with raisin, grape, quite a bit of oak, a hint of apple, and some mustiness. The initial taste has a light sweetness with raisin and a bunch of oak and a decent tartness. There is also some grape and mustiness. The finish is dry and funky. Medium body. Medium carbonation. Quite enjoyable. It certainly reminded me a bit of Consecration. I would say this is on par with the regular Russian River lineup. Not better. Not worse.

Big thanks to Geist for sharing this one. The pour is a light maroon with a thin, bubbly tan head that doesn't stick around for too long.
The nose is dark fruits, cherry, and moderate acidity. Some Consecration character in the background, along with a touch of oak as it warms up. The flavor is a bit more fruity with some additional oak. There's a general fruitiness alongside the acidity throughout, but to me there's nothing that really stands out about this one.
Honestly, I would prefer a bottle of Consecration to this one. I think the blend ended up with something that is tasty, but not all that memorable.

On-tap at the brewey on release day. Damn you TurdFurgison.
A: Cloudy deep current/iced tea color with a soft film of head. Great sheets of lacing left down the glass, great film retention.
S: Smells a bit like Consecration with a bit more fruit diversity. Tart smelling with good dry oak barrel quality. Stone fruits, maybe peach, and lots of dark fruits come through.
T: Definitely stone fruits mixed with dark fruits. I get a touch of lemon, currents, oak, acid, and a faint hint of acetone. The finish is fruity and dry.
M: Drying yet smooth mouthfeel. Tartness is clean, refreshing, and mild. Extremely drinkable. The tartness is acidicly citrus.
O: A very sold sour beer. It's no better than RR's year round sours but it's no worse, just different. I'd definitely buy this along with the other regular 375ml sours if this was available year-round.

750 mL bottle poured into a snifter. Reviewed from notes.
Appearance - Reddish golden. Small cream head. Islands of foam on the surface.
Smell - Acetic acid, musty, and fruity. A little bit of cherry, some tart cranberry, and oak.
Taste - Better. Strong sour, less acetic in nature than the aroma. Dark fruits, some red wine. Musty, dry, and oaky.
Mouthfeel - Very sour. Less complex than I expected. Well carbonated and very clean.
Overall - It's really good, but the difficulty in obtaining it doesn't make it worth it. Standing independently, any brewery would be proud to make this beer, but standing next to some of RRs standard sour offerings, it isn't as impressive.

Poured from the bottle into a tasting snifter.
Appearance: Pours a clear amber color with a small amount of off white head that goes away completely.
Smell: There is a mild tartness with a nice vinegar note. A good amount of malt sweetness underneath.
Taste: More sourness here than there was in the smell. I'm getting some tart lemon and vinegar like notes. There is just a touch of funk to compliment the sour notes. There is just enough sweetness to balance the beer out. The finish is sour.
Mouthfeel: The body is just on the syrupy side of medium with mild, tingly carbonation and a dry finish.
OVerall: I thought this was a very nice sour. I'm not sure it stood out among Russian River's other offerings, but I enjoyed it. It has a nice tartness to it. I'd have more in the future.

On tap at Russian River.
Bright, copper body. Scant brown tinged head. Good retention and nice lacing.
Acetic smelling, with vinegar aromas and some lemon sourness. Oak and grass. Green apples.
Big tartness, green apple at first, then tending towards a lemon tartness. Some cut grass in the back ground. Berry fruit flavors, with a hint of caramel. Dry, with lively carbonation.
A very nice sour. Not the best example from Russian River, but a very good one. I really like the bold tartness. Love to see how this ages.

1651st Review on BA
Bottle to RR -ation glass
2012 Release
Thanks to my branch manager Jim Smith for this one
Split with GuruDel
App- This was a very nice glowing orange. A nice bit of a couple colors in the glass. A darker top with a light highlighted middle and the bottom was a bit of a yellow. The head was a bit small but quite fluffy. For a sour cant really complain. A nice bit of cling as this feel.
Smell- This like more barrel aged sours had a lot going on in the nose. For the most part retained a bit of the wine like characters that I associate with RR. A good bit of the currants came out and a bit of the malty thick and smoky porter notes were there. A little bit sweet and a bit grassy with the pale ale.
Taste- This is was a big sour. The ABV is well put in this one with all the barrels. The flavors really balance itself out and contribute a very unique beer. The porter adds a thick malt flavor and then all the pales really add a grassy flavor to it. The sour adds a bit of a funk/dryness to it as well.
Mouth- This was a very full medium bodied sour. The carbonation was a bit full as well. The residual flavors are of the currants and a thicker malt flavor. The pales add a nice grassy flavor to it as well.
Drink- A good sour. Kinda hard to get, but well worth it. Wish I would have a second to horde like a glutton and pop in 5 years with T30. Oh well.

A - pours a rustic orange without much of a head on it
S - nose consists of vinous oak bubblegum. Not exactly what I was expecting, but it smells good.
T - starts off super sour and locks up the jaw (can't say many sours I have tried have actually done this to me). Some noir wine flavors mixed in with sour lemon citrus flavors are up next. Ends with funk, straw, sour notes, and a little fruity. Very nice!
M - full and well carbonated
D - nice American wild ale here. Beautiful blend of a beer here...the most sour American wild I have tried to date...

4.05/5 rDev -8.4%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4
Pours a very hazy, dark amber color with ruby red edges and a one finger frothy white head that slowly settles into a lasting ring. Streaks of soapy lace left behind.
Earthy aroma with lots of oak and musty barnyard funk. Subtle acetic character with prominent barrel notes and similar qualities of an oude brune. Slight sulfuric presence with cheesy funk, berries and other vinous dark fruit notes. Really musty with lots of barrel, barnyard and funky bugs. A bit too much acetic vinegar but it doesn't overpower the other notes.
Tart and puckering with strong sourness that isn't overly harsh or acidic. That sulfuric elements comes through but not as strong as in nose. Strong barrel preence with lots of dry oak which is nicely complimented by musty brett notes. Lactic presence in the finish adding more funk. Berries, currant and other vinous dark fruit also come through in the finish. Sour, dry and funky but not harsh. Acetic element isn't as prominent as expected. Could use some more sweetness but it's still a really solid wild ale.

Back in the rotation, John Smoltz is looking to recapture past October glory
John Smoltz, erstwhile Big Toe of the Braves' bullpen, never did tread softly. Smoltz -- "We nicknamed him Big Toe because he anchored all us Little Toes," explains reliever Kevin Gryboski -- would moan about his role as the closer several times a week, more if the former starter was missing a matchup against another team's ace. Now after 3 1/2 years of vintage whines and 154 saves, Smoltz, one of the great big-game pitchers of his era, is back atop the Atlanta rotation along with the latest gem to join the staff, fellow righthander Tim Hudson.
For the Braves, this isn't about winning the NL East anymore; after 13 consecutive titles, it has become less a streak than a birthright. This is about October. "The one thing that puts us over the top, that makes us better than our last couple of teams, are our Number 1 and Number 2 starters," third baseman Chipper Jones says. "That's something we've been sorely missing. We didn't have guys who could match up with [the Cubs'] Mark Prior and Kerry Wood or [the Astros'] Roger Clemens and Roy Oswalt. We were one game away from moving on in the playoffs the past three years, and now we have Hudson and Smoltz in the rotation."
There are some who have doubts about Smoltz's effectiveness as a starter because no one, at least no one of his stature, has done something like this before: A former 24-game winner who turned into a lights-out closer, at least partially because of elbow problems, is retracing his steps at age 37. Pitching coach Leo Mazzone, however, calls the move "a no-brainer." As for Smoltz, he looks leaner, more muscular, after a winter of training that helped him drop 10 pounds. "I think I would've embraced being a closer if we'd won a [World Series] with me in that role," says Smoltz, who has had four elbow operations, including one Tommy John surgery, and has not started full time since 1999. "I went to the bullpen by mutual agreement, although it was almost a Heisman [Trophy] approach -- you know, a bit of a stiff-arm. I know having me there for 162 games made us a better team, but I'd argue in a best-of-five [playoff series] it didn't."
If nothing else Smoltz's move was cost-effective. For G.M. John Schuerholz it was more economical to acquire a closer, Dan Kolb, than to pay eight figures for another high-end starter to join Hudson in a rotation the general manager calls his best. Hardly the prototypical ninth-inning strikeout pitcher, Kolb, a sinkerballer, had 39 saves with only 21 strikeouts in 57 1/3 innings for Milwaukee last season. Of course finishing for the grim Brewers and being entrusted with a lead in Atlanta are hardly the same. Says Mazzone, "It all depends on the mental toughness of the individual." Kolb will have 55 or so opportunities to prove his.
While the Braves return to their classic 1990s model built around dominant starters, a staple of that era -- former owner Ted Turner's open wallet -- went the way of shag carpeting. Working for Time Warner (also the parent company of SI) with an $80 million payroll, Schuerholz again has demonstrated estimable creativity, resuscitating the apparently flatlined career of Raul Mondesi, who at $1 million is an affordable replacement in rightfield for departed free agent J.D. Drew. After being released by two teams in 2004, Mondesi wasn't the subject of much Hot Stove chatter until the Braves summoned him from the Dominican Republic. The other corner outfielder is 38-year-old Brian Jordan, who had 51 RBIs in 436 at bats with the Dodgers and the Rangers over the past two years. But with Andruw Jones (32 home runs and 98 RBIs per season since 1998), Chipper Jones and a healthy Marcus Giles, Atlanta should cobble together enough runs to provide its pitchers with a typical Braves sense of entitlement.
"Last year a lot of people said we were done, but this organization took the field expecting to win, and [that attitude] got us through," Chipper Jones says. "I get the feeling from other teams that they're hoping to win this year, and that's the difference right there. Teams in our division think they can beat us, but can they beat us time after time? I don't think they can." -- Michael Farber

6-foot man drives waist-high car
HARVARD — When Ernie Eli Adams pulls up anywhere in one of his dwarf cruisers he draws a lot of attention.
The 72-year-old Harvard native who now lives in Maricopa, Ariz. was back in Clay County this week. He drove his latest creation — a 11/16th scale, replica 1934 Ford — in the Clay Center Independence Day parade.
"It wakes people up," he said. "Yeah, I get a real good response."
Even though the top of the car stands only around Adams' waist he has no problem fitting his 6-foot frame inside.

Alright, so what's the explanation for my long absence from the blog this time? QUAKE LIVE just went out of beta yesterday. We've released subscription services which give you access to new maps, a new game type (freeze tag), and the ability to start your own matches with your friends. It's at quakelive.com.
Since I joined the project I've been working on scalability improvements, but also new features like the invitation system and subscription management. I've even dipped into our PHP code recently. It's been really fun to work on and learn about a system that needs a lot of scalability in managing a combination of extremely dynamic and static, long-term statistical data. Python and Twisted are continuing to be a great fit for our work in the infrastructure.
Having scalability problems is a great thing, of course, so go try out the game and make me work more :-)

John Eastman, Director of the Institute's Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence, testified before the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution on Tuesday, May 6, contending that the current use of the filibuster to create an effective 60-vote requirement for confirmation of President Bush's nominees raises serious constitutional questions and that the Senate's World War I-era requirement that Senate rules can only be changed by a 2/3 vote is itself unconstitutional.
Dr. Eastman's testimony is available in PDF by clicking here. (Requires Adobe Acrobat.) The hearing was chaired by freshman Texas Senator John Cornyn, who noted in his opening remarks that the panel on which Eastman appeared was "comprised of the nation's leading constitutional experts who have studied and written about the confirmation process."

The skinny on fat
Let's face it, fat gets a bad rap and most of us think that we should be avoiding fat at all costs. We fail to recognize that fat has redeeming qualities and is crucial to our diet and well-being. But not all fat is created equal and it may seem difficult to disseminate the abundance of information on fat.
First, it is important to know which fats you should be consuming and which fats you should avoid. Fat is essential to good health and each fat has a different effect on our body and more importantly on our blood cholesterol levels, which include LDL and HDL levels. Fat is necessary to keep our body temperature tempered, pad our organs from shock and as a reserve for times when we need extra calories – fat is our storehouse. Fat is actually an excellent source for energy and aids in the transportation of vital fat-soluble vitamins and nutrients.
However, most Americans consume too much fat, predominantly the unhealthier forms of fat. Unfortunately, many try extremely low-fat diets, which lead to deficiencies. These deficiencies can lead to scaly, dried skin and thinning hair.
"Choosing the right types of dietary fats to consume is one of the most important factors in reducing the risk of developing heart disease," says Tufts University researcher, Alice Lichtenstein. And the amount of fat we need is actually quite low at about 10 or 20 grams per day. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's 2010 Dietary Guidelines recommend that adults get 20-35 percent of their calories from fats. At a minimum, we need at least 10 percent of our calories to come from fat. Saturated fat should compose less than 10 percent of overall calories.
There are four types of fat: two are healthy and two should be consumed in minimal amounts. The two healthy forms of fat are unsaturated (polyunsaturated and monounsaturated) and the two bad forms in excess are saturated fats and trans fats, which include cholesterol. Bad fats, which are often hidden in foods, can cause weight gain, obesity, heart disease and stroke.
Let's look at the effects each of these fats has on the body to better understand which fats to consume and which to avoid.
Saturated Fats (limit these): There are two types of "bad" fat — saturated fat and trans fatty acids that should be consumed sparingly. Too much saturated fat and trans fat can lead to diabetes and increase your LDL cholesterol levels, the bad form of cholesterol. These fats also clog arteries and increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. Saturated fats are found in all animal products such as meat and dairy as well as most seafood. Some plant foods contain saturated fat such as coconut oil, but both animal and vegetable saturated fat has the same effect on the body.
Trans fat are definitely the evil stepsister to saturated fats in general — their reputation precedes them. There are two types of trans fats, the naturally occurring type found in animal products and dairy, and the artificial type produced synthetically and found in hardened oils, which become "partially" hydrogenated fats. Margarine is a perfect example.
Unsaturated Fats (get more of these): Most unsaturated fats are good for you and are technically a saturated fat in liquid form. There are two types of unsaturated fat, polyunsaturated and monounsaturated. Most oils are monounsaturated. Both mono- and polyunsaturated fats can help lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease.
There are two types of polyunsaturated fats — omega-3 fatty acids and omega-6 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids are arguably the best fat we can consume — they fight inflammation, help control blood clotting and lower blood pressure and triglycerides. Omega-3 is considered an essential fat to our diet and we need to get them from food as our bodies don't produce them. Fatty fish such as salmon, trout and mackerel are a good source of omega-3 as well as walnuts and flaxseed. The American Heart Association recommends eating two servings of fatty fish each week.
What is also important to remember with all fats is that too many calories regardless of where they come from will lead to weight gain and obesity.

Lumping natural saturated fats with industrial trans fats is a blunder. According to lipid biochemist Dr. Mary Enig, saturated fats and trans fats have completely different effects in the body. This article is providing out of date and misleading information. In particular, it is well known that excess linoleic acid in highly processed vegetable oils is a leading cause of chronic inflammatory diseases. Humans have eaten butter for thousands of years; margarine for less than a 100. Saturated means stable – nothing else. Thew best fats for cooking are the more stable saturated and monounsaturated fats we have eaten for centuries: beef tallow, butter, coconut, lard, palm, olive, and sesame (all are combinations of saturated and unsaturated fat).

Fresh and clean but something is too sharp and crisp and too strong for this kind os scent. These make me cannot stand and have to wash my wrist. I prefer to smell it on other people to let it let it goes with me all day. The silage and longevity are terribly good (as I dislike it I wish it fades asap).
Fresh, clean, uplifting, splendid and very aromatic. Would suggest for spring and summer. The lasting power is more than average and lasts whole day if you spray onto clothes as well. I simply love it.
A longer lasting, full-bodied version of the well loved scent spray from Elizabeth Arden. Green tea intense is impossible to overspray, has amazing sillage and decent lasting power while being suitable for work and closed spaces. Truly a breath of fresh air and a burst of freshness on sweltering Summer days, Green tea intense can wake me up every time i feel lazy or sluggish during busy days.
I say a big "YES" to this perfume. It smells so fresh, so green tea, I love smell of green tea. My husband liked this perfume as well (and he is very picky about smells).
the theme of the perfume is not so bad, but lasting power is sooo poor , so weak. It stays on your skin just 5 or 5.5 minutes :-)
I regretted this purchase. There is absolutely nothing special about this perfume. Its smells like a faint mixture of sugar and water. Another downside is that it lasts for about an hour on clothes and less on the skin. Can you believe that? I was so pissed after i bought it.
casual and light touch. This is good to wear for normal activities such as causal dinner, drinks, travelling or even work. The simple n light smell is refreshing. Downside is doesn't last long. not for party or dinner.
I tried Green Tea for the first time when I was about 15 or 16, loved it, but noticed that it didn't stay too long on my skin (I think it doesn't stay long on anyone's skin in general) so I always had to carry the bottle. After like 2 years, I got this one so that I can wear the perfume without having to carry it around, and I have to say it smells "different" than the original Green Tea. I liked the Green Tea for it's citrussy opening, light, airy scent and then the tea note, but this one actually lacks the citrussy/tea/airyness, yet is very sweet and even chemical/artificial. Judge it for yourself. If you really like Green Tea and want it to last long, I guess you'd have to carry it around and spray it.
Such a casual, clean and fresh scent. A go to scent for running errands, going shopping or just stay at home chilling and relaxing.
Interesting that another reviewer called this masculine ... can see parallels with hubby's EDT spray ...
I love Green Tea, the original and this has the staying power the original lacks, however it's a bit too intense for me, prefer something lighter and more feminine.
Don't be deceived by this perfume... when you spray it on ... wait for a ten minutes and then smell it, just gorgeous, fresh and clean smelling and at a fabulous price. So if you want to smell like you have just stepped out of a shower, then this is the one!
Quite a bit different from most green tea scents, this one has a decidedly more masculine feel to it and reminds me of a fresher, softer Halston 1-12 (and they wear together very well). I had 1-12 on when I first tested this on my skin at the EA counter, and it is very nice...
The tea notes are there from start to finish, but this has more longevity and prescence to it, being an EDP. The addition of mint and lemon gives it a twist of citrus and a garnish of sharper green. The oakmoss makes the base more airy and forest-like while musk adds to the overall 'thickness' of the composition.
I can see why some women might be turned off by this and find it too brusque. It lasted longer than 5 hours on my skin and I think it is a good scent for a anyone who likes strong fresh scents and wants something less classic than, say 1-12 or Quorum, and less sophisticated than Eau Parfumee au The Vert Extreme by Bvlgari (with it's juicy orange and sensual spiced rose). This has some floralcy to it but only in a supporting role. All in all a nice (should have been released as) unisex scent for good price; that lasts!
Sillage: above average
Longevity: very good
Overall: 3.5/5
This is like a glass of iced green tea with lemon and a sprig of fresh mint, sipped on a hot day in the shade of a giant oak tree that's overgrown with moss. Cooling, refreshing and satisfying. No one has complained yet and I've sampled it more than 10 times and applied it freely...this is on my short list of new scents to acquire (and not go into debt)... :-)>
I had this one but returned it because the lasting power is no different from regular green tea. And it smells the same maybe a tad bit stronger but I was put off by the dark green color and the old fashioned bottle,not attractive!
I'm not too crazy for this version of Eizabeth's Arden's Green Tea. Dpn't like the mint lemon notes in it. I gave mine to a friend who likes this type of fragrance. I like her first Green Tea Scent,much better in my opinion

Loading... The Stuff of Life: A Graphic Guide to Genetics and DNAby Mark Schultz
Unshelved Book Clubs (294) Loading...
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. 4Q, 3P. This graphic novel is very informative, but in an accessible way! The Stuff of Life provides an alternative to boring high school textbooks. The information is the same, but there is a story line, writing style is easier to follow, and there is humor. I believe in combination with lessons related to genetics/DNA the book would be a great tool for teaching teens about science. Teens will find this much more engaging and the concepts are explained in way that they aren't a big headache (well at least not as much as in a textbook). I also really like that the book doesn't over simplify everything and respects teen's intelligence. Bloort 138 is a biological scientist sent to Earth to look for answers to his world's current health crisis. He is back and reporting on the science of genetics in terms that even the royal family can understand. He explains in some detail the importance of understand individual genetic histories, the roles of molecules, cells, dna, methods of genetic reproduction and manipulation. He briefly introduces issues including cloning and genetic engineering for the lay reader. Bloort 138's detailed report uses Earth's success with diversity to suggest a solution for the planet Gargal's genetic problems. Though this graphic novel is not a simple comic book, it does a good job clarifying some of the complex concepts of genetics and DNA. Dull lessons on the scientific explorations of Mendel, Darwin, Watson and Crick, and many others would be enhanced by supplementing them with Bloort 138's explanations and understandable descriptions. Young adults with an interest in the science of genetics will find sidebars of information on specific people and concepts. They will also appreciate the suggested reading list and illustrated glossary. The black and white drawings are sometimes crowded but always thorough in depicting the facts and research questions of genetics making this an interesting read for even those readers who don't especially like science. This is a recommended purchase for high school and public libraries. Grades 10 -12 http://www.nonfictioncomics.net/2010/09/making-genetics-a-little-less-alien/ "The science fiction premise may cause some to take it less seriously, and the artists' tendency to anthropomorphize the molecules in order to facilitate understanding sometimes obscures the actual chemical process—no good for those who are looking to study genetics beyond this primer. But for those who just need a solid conceptual understanding, this is a good way to go. Each step is delightfully illustrated, and when the content starts to get too heavy the writer is fully aware of the problem, having Floorish stop to summarize each section in case he (and we) missed anything. At 142 pages (plus a glossary) The Stuff of Life may not seem long, but it's one of the densest graphic books I've ever read. It treats its subject and its readers intelligently, and appropriately enough for a comic, with plenty of humor. Highly recommended." A fun, but interesting, look at genetics from an alien's point of view. My fifth grader loved this book. The many facets of genetics and DNA is told by Bloort 183, who is an alien scientist responsible for researching and reporting the fundamentals of human genetics back to his planet's leader. I would probably not pick up a book about genetics and just start reading about it; however, the graphic novel format definitely hooked me in. The black and white illustrations looks silly, but it makes this topic terms interesting by adding humour. A glossary is also provided. A perfect book for biology students.
I'm not sure who the audience for this is. Younger readers will be put off by the relatively advanced vocabulary. Older readers will likely find the comedy aliens too silly. I only made it 25 pages into the 150-page book before I gave up — it was making me sleepy.

Wikipedia in English (3)Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0809089475, Paperback)Let's face it: From adenines to zygotes, from cytokinesis to parthenogenesis, even the basics of genetics can sound utterly alien. So who better than an alien to explain it all? Enter Bloort 183, a scientist from an asexual alien race threatened by disease, who's been charged with researching the fundamentals of human DNA and evolution and laying it all out in clear, simple language so that even his slow-to-grasp-the-point leader can get it. In the hands of the award-winning writer Mark Schultz, Bloort's explanations give even the most science-phobic reader a complete introduction to the history and science of genetics.The Stuff of Life RevealedIn the panels below, Bloort teaches his fellow alien about DNA.
