look: 3.75 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Poured out of a 750mL (1 Pt 9 fl oz) bottle into a snifter.
A: Body is a deep bronze color, with some light passing through, minimal haze. Head was barely off-white, less than one finger developed right after the pour then quickly faded into thin layer on top of the beer with a pronounced collar at the glass' edge. Some lacing.
S: Very distinct and complex nose. Scents of malty sweetness, apples, apple cider, aged leather, tobacco and black pepper come through. Aroma is multi-dimensional, no doubt due to the many hops used along with some robust yeast. Had a pleasant aged character. Not boozy in scent.
T: The nose preceded the taste well, no surprises. All of the scents were in the flavor, carried through by a very pronounced malty sweetness. The huge variety of hops used gives many different spicy and organic flavors to the beer as it passes the tongue. Malts give off flavors of chocolate, leather, tobacco, cider, apples and vanilla. Finishes with distinct pepper and herbal notes; has a sharp bitterness in the aftertaste.
M: Robust, full body, with a syrupy, soft mouthfeel. It's smooth on the palate despite a pronounced bite from the carbonation. The alcohol makes this beer feel warming, definitely a winter brew.
O: Very nice example of barley wine. Not typical of the style, as it has far more hops, and in some ways tricks you into thinking it s a variation of an IPA, but the sweetness despite the huge hop load makes it clear what you are drinking. The really distinct hoppiness comes from the ten different hops varietals used to get to a 100 IBU offering; this beer definitely is 10².

Poured a auburn tinted brown with good head and lace patches. Typical barleywine smell of booze, barley (and other) malts, a touch of caramel/sweet malts, and a more aggressive hop profile (mostly piney and citric) b/c the extra hops in this brew. Taste is more of the same and it is well balanced for the hops they put in this sipper (seriously, I had to nurse this). The booze and heavy malts are always present, but the predominant taste and feel sensations are dry, piney hops. Not a bad thing but I will say this struck me as a beer on the DIPA/barleywine border b/c the malts and sweet notes do take a backpage to the forefronting dirty hops (yes, I just made up a word, and by dirty they are downright earthy/grassy). Finishes dry and heavy thanks to hops and lively carbonation. This was an enjoyable sipper but after awhile it was mostly a hop bomb that turned from pleasure to chore as it warmed (ABV still subtle, I'll admit).

22oz bottle into snifter. Bottle date November 2010.
A: Pours a deep woody brown with a thin light than head that quickly faded into a faint collar. Wisps of lace were left down the glass.
S: Well aged nose, that's for sure. Musty oxidation, heavy tobacco, leather, red apples, apple cider, damp cardboard, and black pepper come through. Still fairly hoppy smelling.
T: Follows the nose but luckily the oxidization isn't as prominent as I thought. Hops shine through with herbal, spicy, and green flavors. Malts lend notes of caramel, tobacco, milk chocolate, leather, and vanilla. The finish is peppery and herbal and the aftertaste has a solid, lingering bitterness. Drinks well.
M: Full body, thick and bitter mouthfeel, smooth with a decent bite. Low carbonation, very mild alcohol warmth.
O: Decadent and delicious. The nose told me it was past its prime but the taste definitely redeems itself. Worth checking out and worth aging. I can't imagine how bitter this is fresh.

22 oz bottle into a pint glass.
A: Pours a murky dark brown color. Ridiculously murky, actually. The head is a one finger yellow shade. Retention is superb for 10% - a couple of minutes have passed by and it's still standing. Good lacing, too.
S: This one smells really hoppy - actually not so much hoppy as it is just bitter smelling. It's about 6 months old and has still retained a nice hop bite to it. Beneath the piny hops lie a decent malt backbone consisting of caramel and brown sugar. Maybe there's even a touch of chocolate. While the aroma is really good, I kind of worry it will be too bitter.
T: And yes, bitterness hits from the start, except it's a troubling vegetal bitterness. It's overly reminiscent of green pepper, which I never like in my beer. After a while all that pepper goes away, and it turns into a strongly grassy yet herbal note near the back end. Even with all the vegetal notes, sweetness is fairly high, with a ton of caramel and brown sugar on the finish. Once I get used to the peppery hops, it becomes okay.
M: It's actually pretty crisp and clean for such a big, boozy monster, with just enough of a sweet finish to conceal the alcohol. With a slightly better flavor, this could have been REALLY easy to down. Carbonation kind of stays in the background.
O: I didn't like this at first...but it improves after a few sips. And it deteriorates after several more. The hops here are way too green pepper-esque for my tastes, luckily every other aspect is pretty solid. I can't really say that I like it that much. There are definitely some out there who will, though.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.25 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.75
A - Pours a hazy deep ruby/chestnut color with a thin lacing ring with lots of steady carbonation. Very viscous and sticky clear when the tulip is swirled. As the beer warms the haze completes disappears.
S - Boozy roasted caramel/toffee malt, the nose is extremely faded but this has also been sitting in my cellar for many months as well.
T - Starts with roasted caramel & toffee malt followed with a citrus (oranges & grapefruit) and some floral bitterness, and finishes with a lingering piney/citrus bitterness that's indicative of an American barley. The lingering bitterness overpowers any toasty malt that's left over on the palate and scrubs it away.
M - Heavy medium to full body and coats the mouth with some zesty citrus resin and toasted malt. Gentle pricklies on the tongue and moderately boozy creating some warming in the back of the throat.
O - This is a good barleywine worth trying, glad I have one more left and will let it sit to see how it stands the test of time. Weak nose but the taste made up for it.

Ok, on my trek to the great NW last year I stocked up. Saw this one as a barleywine and took it home. Didn't read (my fault) that it uses 10 hops. Should've drank it fresh, but I'm a barleywine ager-guy.
Pours a bright copper with medium thick white head. Retention was nice, lacing was nice.
Sharp caramel aroma up front, a bit boozy. Held on to the hops aroma as hard as it could. Somewhat grassy, some slight hints of pine. Mostly malt and faded hops. Probably would have been a pine centered BW when I bought it. The malt does lack a bit of bread and body.
Thin and the booze doesn't help this. While the flavor is nice, and went well with brats on the grill, the body just didn't pack the punch as per that abv level

A- Out of the bomber, so I can't really say how it looks
S- more like a heavy or dark ale than a barley wine
T- Also more dark ale/ Arrogant Bastard than Barley wine. Very tasty and drinkable, soft malty backbone, boozy ale up front.
M- light! for a BW.. but lingering
O- not what's expected from the category, but a very delicious brew.

22 oz. bottle served in a Pumking goblet. Bottled October 2011. Thanks to mfavoino for the bottle.
A: Pours a deep amber color with some ruby and brown hues in the body. A light khaki head forms on the pour and recedes to a thick, bubbly ring. Sheets of soapy lace are left down the glass.
S: Piney and earthy hops upfront with a malty backbone. Some slightly sweetness on the backend, but this a hop forward and earthy barleywine. Mild raisin pops up as it warms. A little brown sugar as well.
T: very malty upfront. Oaty and sweet there are underlying pine and grass notes. Some dark fruits with a little alcohol notes. Not hot though. Some caramel sweetness on the back end. The hops creep back up on the finish with a bitterness that cuts the sweetness.
M: Medium bodied with a medium carbonation level and a drying finish.
O: Pretty solid overall. I can't imagine how hoppy this was a year ago, but I like the level where it's at now. Earthy and piney bitterness meet a sweet and oaty malt base.

Props to my western Canada connection joemcgrath27 for this treat. Bottled October 2011.
A - Pours a murky copper colour with a thumb of head with solid retention and nice sheeting lacing.
S - Solid earthy cedar hop profile, sweet citrus and a bold peppery spice and musty caramel that comes through on the finish.
T - Much like the nose with the earthy hop profile dominating, heavy bitterness that comes through alongside the musty caramel malt, hints of burnt toast, espresso and a sour citrus rind lingers.
M - Medium bodied, smooth and dry and sticky on the finish.
O - A bold and tasty brew with loads of flavour and an incredibly well hidden ABV. I suspect the aging of this bottle helped to smooth it out, making it extremely drinkable. Super stoked to have had the opportunity to try this one.

Bottle extra'd from trodersark, poured into a tulip.
Pour: Murky amber brown, with a finger of light tan head. Nice lacing, head hangs around as a rim.
Smell: Caramel, booze, and floral hoppiness. Meh.
Taste: Follows the nose, but with a HUGE caramel malt presence... way more than I would like when taking into consideration the floral and grassy hops. A light toffee and some booze on the back.
Mouthfeel: Heavy and sticky, yet light and drinkable at the same time. Not very good.
Overall: A mediocre American barleywine that went too hard with the malt profile to match the hoppiness, in my opinion.

22 ounce bottle into snifter, bottled in October 2011(1 year). Pours very hazy brick red color with a nice 1-2 finger dense khaki head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice soapy lacing on the glass, with some alcohol legs. Aromas of big grapefruit, pine, caramel, earth, molasses, toast, herbal, raisin, biscuit, light chocolate, wood, and herbal spiciness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity. Taste of big caramel, pine, toast, grapefruit, biscuit, grass, earth, molasses, light chocolate, wood, herbal, raisin, and piney spiciness. Good amount of pine bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of caramel, pine, herbal, grass, molasses, dark fruit, biscuit, light chocolate, toast, wood, earth, and piney spiciness on the finish for a good bit. Great flavor balance and complexity; nearly zero cloying flavors on the finish. Medium carbonation and full bodied; with a creamy, slick, and sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a small warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is an excellent barleywine. Very nice complexity, depth, and balance of flavors; quite smooth to sip on. Very enjoyable offering.

Woody and earthy, with a murky, mushroomy stew of flavors. Seems to be the hallmark of these Reel Ales. Reminds me of their Imperial Red and the Starfish black. Too Cascadian for words.
Clear, dark amber in the narrow tulip. Not so foamy, but plenty of spritz on the tongue. Hot and dirty. The aroma is one of the better features, with the big resiny hops. Flowery nose with some cedar and black pepper. Lots of malt, but it's more the quantity than any distinct sort of flavor. The hoppy bitterness gradually throws its weight around and take over the place.
I love the new label-- it's all tentacles. Maybe the art director knows something about brewing beer. From the 22 oz bottle.

A - slightly hazy dark burnt orange brown, two fingers of tan head that retained very well, leaving a few random blobs of foam clinging to the glass
S - caramel, citrus and pine hop notes, mild toasty in the end
T - starts with caramel and brown sugar, quickly moves to hop flavours of citrus rind and earthy woodiness, finishes slightly boozy with the hop notes lingering
M - more than medium body, starts sticky and creamy, quickly moves to a hop bitterness
O - big hop presence in this bad boy barleywine which I always appreciate, tasty and drinkable for its size, nice work

Review from 12/2010 notes. Poured into a Nostradamus flute glass. Pours a dark coppery red amber. Slight head with nice lacing. Light malt and strong hop aroma. Hoppy up front. Sweet malts assert themselves in the middle and a hoppy finish. Not very complex, but sturdy barley wine backbone with nice citrus and pine hops. Worth an annual revisit. This is same ale that I reviewed in 2010 as an American Imperial IPA. It seems like a cross between the two styles.

22oz (based on the four notches in the label, bottled either Jan or Nov, 2010 or 2011 - but I think it was Nov 2010) into a snifter. Pours a clear amber w/ just a thin film of bubbles on the surface, sustained by a constant stream of fine carbonation rising from around the perimeter of the glass.
Aroma is a variety of herbal and floral hops, some caramel sweetness in the background. Rum-soaked raisins, toffee, buttery booze.
Taste follows nose. Sticky sweet countered by 100 IBUs of hoppy bitterness.
Mouthfeel is slick, coating, sticky. But carbonation keeps it relatively light and drinkable.
Overall a good, super-hoppy American barleywine. Nothing earth-shattering, but tasty nonetheless.

Bottle shared at FosterJM's birthday celebration that I brought myself.
This particular bottle indicates Reel Ale, not Fish Brewing.
Pours a clear brown with a tan head that settles to a film on top of the beer. Small streaks of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of malt, brown sugar, and citrus zest. Taste is toasted malt, brown sugar, and lots of citrus zest flavors. There is a medium level of bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp and medium bodied mouthfeel. Overall, this is a good barleywine with lots of hops in the smell and taste.

Half pint at beer revolution 17/2/12
A dark amber and it looks pretty thick, just a thin film but it leaves lots of unorganized lace
s big toffee notes and a blast of citric piney hops , smells a little sweet
t now we get into some massive piney grapefruit rind, loads of risen and toffee make it hard to tell if its hops or malt overpowering everyone
M feel is powerful taking some of my mouth with it while leaving a fair bit behind, some booze burn and a very long finish, syrupy with just enough bubbles
o some strong stuff here but i liked it, lots of ingredients were needed for this one
a big dipa right now and some age would mellow out the hops and booze

Bottled 10/11 and enjoyed on 1/28/11.
Appearance: Deep red-brown with an off white head that stuck to the sides of the glass. Great looking barleywine.
Smell: Lots of hops! Really expecting a hop forward taste based on the scent.
Taste: Resiny hops that are to be expected from a Pacific Northwest beer. Lot of complexity going on here that has lots of sweetness dominated by caramel flavors and the aforementioned pine hops.
Mouthfeel: Sticky, medium mouthfeel. Average carbonation with a slight alcohol finish. Highly drinkable barleywine.
Overall: Very impressed with this barleywine. Love the hop flavor and drinkability.

First had: on tap at Eulogy, Philly, PA
Served in a snifter, a dark reddish-brown color, slightly hazy, with an attractive, creamy light tan head that retained well and left some thin, stratified lacing on the glass. Smelled sweet and woody, malt presence, and a bit of floral hops, subtle citrus notes. There's a definite underlying sweetness in the taste, with flavors of licorice, wood, and a dry bitterness from a surprisingly generous profile of citrus and pine hops. Higher alcohol is pretty subdued. Very interesting for a barleywine...almost seems to share qualities with an IIPA. Medium body, a bit chewy, a good one to savor.

Huge thanks to Dajtai007 for sending this as an extra in a past trade.
Pours a cloudy dark amber/chestnut color with subtle golden edges and a two finger frothy white head that slowly fades into a lasting ring. Large chunks of soapy lacing coat the glass.
Floral hop aroma with some citrus and pine but the malt presence is a bit strong with some caramel, toffee and nut.
Thick, chewy mouthfeel with a blast of dry, bitter hops that dominate the flavor, lingering over the sweet malt backbone into a dry finish. Earthy pine needle flavor with resinous hop oils countered by tropical and citrus fruit notes as well as a decet malt character that provides balance without detracting from the hops. Just a huge beer with huge fesh hop flavor. I had never even heard of this brewery before but I loved this beer.

In certain lights, 10 Squared is almost red enough to send as a Valentines card - wouldn't the beer lover in your life like that?! - but due to its murkiness (especially after the second half of the bottle's been poured) it can't really be considered all that pretty. The fact that it procures (and retains!) such a thick head, however, is impressive.
The late Mitch Hedberg had a joke about Pringles initially wanting to make tennis balls. I think this barleywine initially wanted to be potpourri; its ultra-fragrant bouquet combines the dried, fresh and super-distilled essences of an infinite number of things - pine bark, dried fruit peel, mint, cane sugar, roasted nuts, honey to name just a few.
The malts and the hops have beaten each other to a bloody pulp. To identify which varieties of each were used would require dental records. Specific characteristics have been obliterated beyond all recognition by a long fermentation process, a sizable amount of alcohol and, most significantly, the abundance of the other.
That is simply what happens when using 5 varieties of malt (and enough of them to boost the alcohol up to 10%) and 10 varieties of hops (enough to punch in over 100 IBUs). The beer, as result, is an abstract blend of acidic citrus, gooey butterscotch, spruce and pine resins, and a whole whack load of dried fruits and herbs that taste as though they've been macerated in some kind of fermented honey.
For a beer with these kinds of specs I'm impressed (or, actually, a little concerned) that I've gotten as far into the bottle as I have in this short a time period. It should be a bit more of a challenge. Yet sips continue to be closer to gulps. And it only get's easier with warmth. While this may not be the highest rated one out there, 10 Squared is an American barleywine if there ever was one. If you happen to snag a bottle - don't throw it back!

Brought this bottle back from the west coast on a recent trip.
Not a huge head, and not a great deal of retention. Ring of foam forms around the edge of the glass. I wish I knew what caused barley wines to have the ruby tone deep within their color. This one really isn't an exception, although it's subtle. Not much lace.
Great aroma. Rich, thick and deep. Like an after dinner drink. Deep chewy malts, caramel, dark fruits and a lovely alcohol note to it all.
Enjoyed the flavor as well. Rich, chewy caramel. Deep malt flavors. Lots of pine notes and a bit more hop punch than I was expecting.
Very smooth and velvet like. Beyond subtle carbonation.
Like it, Liked it a lot.

Served in a duvel tulip glass.
A: A brown somewhere between hazelnut and milk chocolate, with very little head and faintly noticeable carbonation.
S: The typical aggressive hoppy smell of a barleywine, with some dulce de leche and a hint of cedar to back it up.
T: Little subtlety in the front of the mouth, with some rather pronounced hops and a chestnut richness. In the back, you'll taste more bitterness and a tinge of sweetness.
M: Begins with a slightly overcarbonated lightness and moves on to a more viscous simple syrup feel.
O: An average example of the barley wine style, lacking much to distinguish it from its cousins. I was expecting a bit more from this, but if I am at a bar and they have it on tap, and I'm feeling like a barleywine or strong ale, I'll give it another shot.

Bomber into a Cantillon tulip. Thanks, Chris, for sharing!
A: Hazy orange-red body with a thin tan head that quickly forms a ring. Light lace. Not bad.
S: Big + bittersweet: sugar-coated grapefruit, caramelized pine needles, and toffee-drenched flowers. Classic hoppy Barleywine.
T: A core of toffee is surrounded by hugely intense hops. Fruity/floral/piney/herbal all at the same time, and ridiculously bitter. I love it, but it's just destroying my palate.
M: Creamy, fairly full body with soft carbonation. Nice.
O: Awesome beer, but definitely one to share. It reminds me a lot of fresh Bigfoot, and that's a good thing. I love how the multiple high-test hop varieties work together, supplying an absolute panorama of PNW hoppiness. Terrific right now, but I'm not sure how welcome this gigantic bitterness will be once the fantastic hop flavors fade with time.

About Bratt Decor
Bratt Decor was born out of necessity after Mary and Stephen Bauer's long, trying, and unsuccessful journey to find the perfect crib. The couple sought a crib that would bring beauty, harmony, sophistication and balance to their nursery. They wanted sumptuous, luxurious, and comfortable. And they wanted the nursery to feel like home. After scouring every store in two major U.S cities, the couple was disappointed in the selections. Nothing fit their vision, and those that came close were beyond their budget. That's when the Bauer's took matters into their own hands and built their own crib. They realized there must be other discouraged parents out there disappointed in the cribs available. That's when Bauer's set out to start their own business to make the world's most beautiful cribs at prices normal people could afford.

Comments about Bratt Decor Wrought Iron Indigo Convertible Canopy Crib - Pewter:
I searched all over for a wrought iron crib that wasn't a fortune and stumbled across this gem. Apparently Bratt Decor only makes this particular crib for Hayneedle, it cannot be purchased directly from Bratt. That's fine by me as it's about half the price of similar iron cribs.
The picture doesn't even do it justice. The detail on the crib is amazing, it's a small swirl pattern that reflects light and provides visual interest.
It was very easy to put together, my husband and I were done in about 40 minutes. It's very sturdy and the overall product weighs about 90lbs.
You can include the horizontal canopy rails or leave them off, whichever way you prefer, the crib is STUNNING. Everyone who has seen it thinks it's gorgeous. This crib is worth every penny.
We also bought the full size bed conversion kit that is sold separately (also from Hayneedle) for about $250 so that it will grow with our daughter. (I had to call Hayneedle and speak w/ a representative to order the conversion kit because I couldn't find it on their website for some reason.)
My only complaint has nothing to do with Hayneedle or Bratt Decor. The freight company Hayneedle used to have this delivered is Pilot Freight. Their communication re: delivery was mediocre at best. Apparently, because I scheduled delivery using their online scheduling tool vs. talking w/ an actual person, there was some confusion. I had to follow up with them a few times after they didn't show up on the expected delivery date because as it turns out, they only had the conversion kit in their possession, the crib was still in Ohio. But we received both parcels 2 days after we discovered the issue. I can't really complain because it was delivered within 3 weeks of ordering which is basically unheard of when talking about delivery times for cribs.
Don't think twice, BUY IT! You'll love it!

TEAMS: Miami Dolphins
TEAMS: Miami Dolphins
The Miami Dolphins have looked terrible the last 2 weeks, most notably on offense. Unfortunately, the Dolphins offense continued their poor play on through the first half of the game on Sunday. The Dolphins struggled to score only 7 points through 3 quarters against the stingy Seahawks defense in large part because they were pinned deep in their own territory for most of the game.
The Dolphins running game showed some signs of life before the 4th quarter, but Ryan Tannehill was running for his life and failed to make big plays downfield. I was screaming at my TV for most of the 1st half, imploring Mike Sherman to run the football and stick with it. On one drive in particular, in the first half, the Dolphins rushed on 1st down for 11 yards, then attempted 3 straight passes. On those passing plays the Dolphins gave up a sack, an incompletion, and a short completion, which failed to pick up the first down. At that point I wrote 'RUN THE DAMN FOOTBALL!!'. Maybe Mike Sherman was reading my twitter feed? After that, the Dolphins ran the ball and ran the ball effectively and eventually wore out the Seahawks defense in the 4th quarter.
The Dolphins trailed 14-7 with over 8 minutes left in the game and that's when Tannehill took over. Tannehill lead the Dolphins on back to back 80 yard drives, both for touchdowns. After the Dolphins tied the game at 14, the Seahawks returned the ensuing kickoff 98 yards to take a 21-14 lead. The 'same old Dolphins' would have quit after that uppercut to the jaw. But this Dolphins team didn't and Tannehill marched them down the field for the tying touchdown with under 5 minutes to play. After the Dolphins defense stopped the Seahawks, Tannehill came back out and completed a couple of big throws to Davone Bess and Charles Clay. Tannehill moved the Dolphins into field goal range and Dan Carpenter nailed the game winner as time expired.
The Dolphins 24-21 victory kept their faint playoff hopes alive and they actually got some help on the scoreboard with the Titans, Bills, and Steelers all losing. The Dolphins win on Sunday will mean nothing if they can't beat the Patriots next week. 9-7 might be good enough to make the playoffs, but the Dolphins still have to travel to San Francisco and to New England in December, so a win on Sunday against the Pats is a must.

Adam's brilliance and ability to grasp concepts is underwhelming.
Always good to see the Mouth breathers called out.
The rumors fly fast and furious these days. And anything tossed out on a messageboard or talk radio show has to be followed-up on by the "legit" media.
Here's an example of that one: A Knoxville radio host blogged last week that former Tennessee quarterback and current North Carolina congressman Heath Shuler is interested in the athletic director position at his alma mater. "Shuler is in play," wrote Tony Basilio of WVLZ-AM.
Messageboards lit up. I was asked about the report on a number of radio shows across the South.
When asked Shuler's chances of landing the job, I compared them to an ice cube's somewhere down south. Despite comments that the UT administration is considering people from all walks of life, our sources continue to say that Goal One — and it's a very strong Goal One — is to land a current AD from another school.
Now, as we've seen with Tennessee coaching searches in recent years, sometimes you've got to have a fall back candidate. And perhaps that's where a Shuler or a Phillip Fulmer could find themselves in the mix. Obviously, Shuler has proven that he can run and win a campaign.
But a spokesman for Shuler told The Washington Post that the ex-Vol is focused on the country, not his school's sports program.
"Congressman Shuler is focused on the very serious challenges facing our nation, including job creation and balancing our budget," the statement read. "He is currently and actively preparing for his next re-election campaign in 2012 and looks forward to continuing to fight for the working families of Western North Carolina in the years ahead."
Meanwhile, UT associate athletic director Jimmy Stanton told The Knoxville News Sentinel: "The Chancellor formed a committee that is responsible for the search for the next director of athletics. That process is underway, and I am not aware of the names of any specific candidates."
Dan Murphy, the chairman of UT's search committee took things a step further telling WNML-AM's Jimmy Hyams (who is also a Knoxville radio host) that the school has "not narrowed the pool" of candidates and has conducted "no interviews yet" and made "no offers yet."
"We've got to get this thing done right," Murphy added.
While UT is taking its time on it's AD search — probably a smart move considering this is chancellor Jimmy Cheek's first such search — three names continue to be mentioned most often when speaking to those close to the Tennessee administration:
Georgia Tech's Dan Radakovich, Missouri's Mike Alden, and Kansas State's John Currie. Currie is a former UT associate AD who is believed to be working back channels in hopes of landing the Volunteer gig.
But this much is clear to MrSEC.com at this point — If Tennessee lands the type of candidate it's after… Shuler, Fulmer and other non-ADs won't stand a chance.
UPDATE — Shuler spokesperson Andrew Whelan has told The Tennessean that the congressman: "is not seeking the AD spot and hasn't been offered the AD spot. We're doing everything we can to raise money for a re-election campaign in 2012. I can't really speak to sportstalk radio or internet rumors, but the congressman is looking forward to his re-election in 2012. He is running for Congress."

Dale, Let the OR bosses know that they need an RSS feed for Steelers stories only, not just ALL sports stories. It is hard to aggregate when using just the Sports RSS feed. I bet you get more readership by doing that. Hopefully they give you an RSS feed for your blog as well. Happy Holidays and keep up the good work.
Dale - y u moving from Pittsburgh? it's a great city (even though I have never been there and am a bandwagon fan)
- Patrick - 11:30 AM

besides the fact that I've been to Pittsburgh, what happened to Steeler nation eh? No? No good? from another city, not allowed to be a Steelers fan?
Dale, any idea whats up with Sweed, I'm speculating, but missing this much time with an "illness", does he have swine flu? Must be something serious enough and something that they don't want him giving to anybody else by keeping him away and out. - 3:42 PM

I don't know if it's swine flu or not but he's been sick all week so it may be.

The Village Idiot
From ZineWiki
The Village Idiot was a science fiction fanzine published by Paul Shingleton, Jr and Tom Milton.
The Village Idiot was released in St. Albans (Shingleton) and Huntington (Milton), West Virginia, U.S.A. in the mid-1960s. The first issue appeared in June 1966. Four issues were published, the last in March/April 1967.
Contributors of art work included Margaret Dominick (DEA), among others.
Ron Bennett, in Skyrack #94, 8th August 1967, calls it, "Fair and promising, but Paul needs to work on it rather than letting it simply happen (which of course also applies to Skyrack)."

The Shock Doctrine
By Naomi Klein I've been friends with Naomi for a while, and I was lucky enough to read this as a galley, before it was published. I think that she has the same ferocity as Hunter—a much different aesthetic and different goals, but they are both people who are going to look at hard truths. This is an alternate history of the past 35 years. Her position is that there has been a very open ideological war against the New Deal. She explores how "shocks" such as Hurricane Katrina or political upheaval in South America or Eastern Europe are seen as opportunities by some politicians and economists to engage in free-market fundamentalism. She calls it the disaster capitalism complex, and she shows how that actually rigs markets for the rich. What Naomi does so well is to put corruption scandals into a broader context. To see the world with that kind of clarity and courage and then to chronicle it, I think, is breathtaking. Advertisement

Last week was great.
Nothing particularly amazing happened, but we had the most "normal" week we've been able to have in a long time.
David only had to visit the doctor once for his regularly scheduled appointment (which is a big deal and takes up a huge chunk of our day), but other than that, we stayed home and didn't have to deal with any pressing health issues. I'm hoping for a lot more weeks like this!
Here's an update on what I accomplished last week:

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has reached a settlement in its first lawsuit filed alleging that an employer violated the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA), the federal law that prohibits employers from acquiring and using genetic information, including family medical history, in making employment decisions.
The settlement confirms that the EEOC is following one of its key Strategic Enforcement Priorities of addressing emerging and developing issues in equal employment law, which includes genetic discrimination.
According to a press release, the EEOC had filed a lawsuit alleging that Fabricut, Inc., a distributor of decorative fabrics based in Tulsa, OK, violated GINA when it asked a woman about her family medical history in a post-offer medical examination. The lawsuit also alleged that Fabricut violated the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) when it rescinded its offer of employment to the woman because it regarded her as having carpal tunnel syndrome.
As part of its settlement with the EEOC, Fabricut has agreed to pay $50,000 and to implement certain actions to prevent future discrimination, including posting an antidiscrimination notice to employees, disseminating antidiscrimination policies to employees and providing antidiscrimination training to employees involved in the hiring process.

There are basically two types of knowledge:
Gnosis – head knowledge
Epignosis – heart knowledge (knowledge taken in by the mind and engrained within our being)
I have come to the conclusion that the older one gets the more heart knowledge we seem to have. To me this is what is known as wisdom:
Proverbs 14:33 – Wisdom rests in the heart of him who has understanding
All of us today in regards to what is taking place in our nation want to impart the wisdom we have garnered over the years. Yet, there comes a time when we find that such is no longer heard. Therefore, it becomes evident that we are wasting our time trying to convince people who refuse to be convinced and will remain ignorant and unreceptive until they die.
Matthew 7:6 – Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

White House insists taxes must be part of the debt and deficit solution
As debt talks shift to Obama, GOP Speaker John Boehner, and Democratic Senate leader Harry Reid, taxes remain the logjam. No one wants to be seen as giving ground on that issue too quickly.
President Obama on Monday engaged congressional leaders one on one in a bid to break partisan deadlocks over the budget, especially the GOP taboo on raising taxes, and to get his administration's derailed debt and deficit negotiations back on track. But it's clear that his starting gambit is to try to persuade Republican lawmakers – and the public – of the need for higher taxes for some Americans.

Tax increases – or at least ending tax breaks for corporations or the highest-income Americans – will have to be in the mix, White House spokesman Jay Carney said Monday morning after Mr. Obama met with Senate majority leader Harry Reid. "It's the only way to get it done," he said.
Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell (R) of Kentucky, who meets with the president Monday evening, took to the Senate floor with a sharp warning to the White House to take tax hikes off the table.
RECOMMENDED: Budget stalemate: Why America won't raise taxes
"Not only are [higher taxes] counterproductive from the standpoint of an economic recovery," he said, "they're also politically impossible, since Republicans oppose tax hikes and Democrats have already shown they won't raise taxes in a down economy."
A measure to raise taxes on the highest-income Americans failed in the Senate in December, when Democrats held a strong majority of 59 seats. Five Democrats broke ranks to vote with all Republicans to oppose a measure to boost taxes on those with incomes greater than $250,000 a year.
"You can't get a tax hike through this body," says Don Stewart, a spokesman for Senator McConnell. "Now, they're asking for $600 billion in tax increases. You don't get there by closing corporate loopholes."
That prospect of some $600 billion in tax hikes, along with new spending proposals by Democrats intended to stimulate job creation, is what prompted GOP negotiators – House majority leader Eric Cantor of Virginia and Sen. John Kyl of Arizona – to walk out of the debt talks led by Vice President Joe Biden last Thursday.
If anything, their exits have only hardened partisan positions on the tax question, because it places the responsibility for a deal squarely with a new set of negotiators – the president, Speaker John Boehner (R) of Ohio, and majority leader Reid, none of whom can be seen to be giving ground too quickly on such a high-profile, partisan commitment.

Eq vs multiband compression
Hi, trying to balance a master track, what would be the difference between using a multiband compressor, and compress the frequency range instead of cutting the frequency with the equalizer, and at the opposite boosting the frequency with the Eq vs increase the gain of the frequency range with the multiband compressor ? Under which circumstances one would use any of this 2 options ? Thanks

I've written before about how owners are often more focused on the ingredients that are included in their dog's food rather than the balanced nutrition that a particular food may or may not offer. This is not to say, of course, that high quality ingredients are unimportant. My point is that we need to be aware of what individual ingredients bring to the table, so to speak, in terms of the nutrients that they offer.
Let's look at an example. You may have heard about the role that essential fatty acids (EFAs) play in skin and coat health for dogs. A diet that contains adequate amounts of and the correct balance between omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids can go a long way to promoting healthy skin and a glossy coat. EFAs essentially moisturize the skin from the inside out and improve the skin's ability to act as a barrier to potential allergic triggers and irritants. EFAs also play a role in nervous system functioning (including brain development), heart health, and the inflammatory response.
Most veterinarians are now sold on the benefits of essential fatty acids. Many vets, myself included, will recommend modifying a dog's EFA intake if they have chronically itchy or flaky skin, excess shedding, or a poor quality coat, and we've ruled out common diseases that can cause similar symptoms. Chronic inflammatory conditions (e.g., osteoarthritis) can also benefit from EFA supplementation.
Pet food companies are also beginning to see the benefits of EFAs, but unfortunately, it can be difficult for an owner to determine whether or not a particular product contains these nutrients in adequate amounts. Omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acid levels do not have to be included in a dog food's guaranteed analysis, but some manufacturers are starting to report this information on the label.
The MyBowl Tool can help here as well. EFAs come primarily from fats and oils. You can use the food's guaranteed analysis to determine whether or not it contains the recommended amount (about 15%) of this nutrient category. Next, look at the ingredient list for items such as flaxseed, flaxseed oil, soybeans, soybean oil, olive oil, or some types of fish and fish oil (e.g., salmon) that provide high levels of EFAs. If you see at least one and preferably two of these ingredients, there is a good chance that EFA levels will be sufficient.
After a few weeks of eating a food that meets these criteria, your dog should have noticeably healthier skin and the glossy coat that is a sign of overall well-being.

4.15/5 rDev -2.6%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5
2010 vintage bomber, into a tulip glass.
La Folie pours a very dark, nearly opaque molasses/amber color. Head is limited, dirty brownish color with amber hues. Dissipates into thin bubbly patches. Lively, head crackles with a soapy sticky look. I don't remember this beer being so dark. Almost a mahogany color. Lacing is left in briefly-lasting sheets of sticky brown bubbles.
Smell is initially quite tart, acidic and vinegary. Subtle smells of chokecherries, currants, foliage, earthy-brown tones from the malts; almost a sickly sweet molasses note. The smell is quite complex, with lots of fruit notes, earthen maltyness and a powerfully tart/vinous aroma holding it all together. This newer recipe seems less tart and vinegary than previous years brews; I like the smell, it just seems a bit less intense than previous vintages.
To taste a La Folie, without any introduction to the style, one might think this beer has gone bad. The palette is greeted with a powerfully tart burst of sour berries and puckeringly-dry vinegar tastes. These initial tastes give way to more complex, under-ripe fruit characteristics- immature green grapes, Granny Smith apple skins, maybe even a subtle grappa quality? Quite a range of intensely tart fruit quality. Underlying malt qualities mellow out the stronger flavors, an almost bread-like flavor underpins the wildly different flavors. The finish is less dry than one might expect, leaving a pleasantly tart/sour finish that doesn't overwhelm the palette. The acidity might be a bit much for those new to the style. A strongly flavored beer, to be sure! Leaves a lasting tartness behind for a while.
Mouthfeel is well structured; Not a big beer, lighter body, but firm and holds the strong flavors very well. Perfectly carbonated, mild and subtle, perfectly complimenting the flavor of this beer. Minimal sticky sweetness left behind.
Overall, this is a outstanding beer. Compliments food well, especially poultry and fruit dishes. I like this beer as a digestif at Thanksgiving, or as a final beer for my third helping. Aggressively flavored, overwhelming to some, but with some experience you find this beer to have subtle nuances that are rewarding. Complex, unique and overall, very, very good.

This appartment is great, pretty much one street away from the Segrada Familia so perfect for doing touristy things but it's also quiet at night. We didn't realise that you just rent the room rather than the whole apartment so we were actually staying with 4 other people who were staying in the other two bedrooms but that suited us fine. Luca and Angela were so helpful and friendly and Luca came to meet us at the metro to show us to the apartment and let us leave our bags there on our final day because our flight was later than check out time. All in all a great place to stay
Great location near Sagrada Familia and close to Metro. Comfortable and cozy room, which was perfect. Luca was great. Helped me with directions, check-in and even met me late at night when I had a slight problem. Wonderful host! I would highly recommend this apartment.
Chicas y chicos la experiencia en Barcelona fue mejor de lo que esperaba de hecho cuando pueda repetiré y la estancia muy agradable puedes contar con ellos para lo que quieras y en cualquier momento...y esto es de agradecer
That was great experience for me and my friend. Shortly: fast reply, great communication before our arrival and when we arrived, nice service, best ratio price towards quality, dreaming location right in the heart of the city with hundreds of different shoppings around, really nice place to stay as owners care of their guesses and provide us as much as they can.
I would love to emphasize specially friendly,hospitable and helpful owners, who did not just gave us the key and forgot until we had to leave the city but recommend us places to visit, the ways to do it and reach and who were very thoughtful and kind to us. When we left I got some nostalgic feelings for the city, so decided to come back and have to tell that owners and their attitude and treatment to their guesses played the most important role in my coming back again.
Highly recommend that owners with such great attitude and fine apartments around and hope that others will enjoy so much as we did.
The reservation was canceled 62 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
Really helpful couple who were very accommodating. The apartment is in a fantastic location very near to the sagrada familia. Rooms are sufficient to sleepover whilst exploring the city. Would recommend.
Excellent séjour chez Luka et Oxana qui sont deux personnes très gentilles et chaleureuses, l'accueil a été plus que parfait.
Habitación amplia, limpia y con vista de la Sagrada Familia. Super centrico! Pero lo mejor del apartamento no es la habitación sino los dueños del piso, Oxana y Luca, su hospitalidad y sus buenos consejos sobre lo que hay que ver en BCN hicieron que me sintiera como en casa. Totalmente recomendable.
Big room, very clean and with view of the Sagrada Familia. Great location in the center of BCN. The best was actually not the room but the hostesses, Oxana y Luca, their hospitality and their good advises about the best to see in BCN, made me feel at home. I would definitely recommend this place.

Wow! Blacks like Oak Park for the same reasons whites do
One View
Opinion: Columns
I cheered when I read John Hubbuch's column [What's going on? Am I racist? Viewpoints, Dec. 8]. For the first time, an Oak Parker admitting that, while a lifelong liberal, he actually knew nothing about black people and didn't even really know any. Honesty! So refreshing!
For the first time, I see an Oak Parker revealing that he doesn't know anything about African-Americans, even though there is an almost iron-clad meme that every white person in Oak Park knows and understands blacks, and not only decided to reside in Oak Park because of its vaunted diversity, but lives a life of active cultural diversity. The author is saying something he believes is unique about himself, but I think is not. Many whites in Oak Park don't know what makes African-Americans, even in their own communities, tick.
I have noted this especially when it comes to the issue of why blacks want to live here. Over the last 20 years, when my husband and I have attended gatherings where Oak Park is being discussed and when we attempt to say why we like it here, we have often been cut off by folks telling us why we should be grateful to be living here as opposed to any other community. Why grateful? Because we are told over and over that many residents chose not to flee to all-white villages when blacks started moving in. We also have never been able to understand why discussions of diversity were always limited to black and white interactions. What about Latinos, Asians, Native-Americans and other ethnic groups? What about different economic groups, religions, generational gaps? Diversity is not just about race.
I cannot speak for every black person in or out of Oak Park, but want to explain exactly why my husband and I, both black, like living in Oak Park.
We love Oak Park because it is physically beautiful with its mature trees and abundant greenery, its old and varied architecture, and its environment of peace and home that's hard to find in these times.
We love Oak Park because it's near our doctors at Loyola University Medical Center.
We love Oak Park because it was halfway between my husband's job in the Loop and my job in another suburb.
We love it because it's near the "el" and the expressway and affords quick access to Chicago, where I was born and raised and my remaining relatives live.
We also like its proximity to Chicago because of that city's fun and excitement, its plethora of city pleasures and diversity of lifestyles, cultures and neighborhoods. The city is an asset to the region and just plain enjoyable.
We love our friendly and community-minded Oak Park neighbors and low-key, old-fashioned block.
I don't like it when Oak Park residents and others announce or assume that all blacks want to live in Oak Park because it is the only or most progressive or "diverse" community on earth. Can't blacks just enjoy living in Oak Park for the same reasons others enjoy? Other communities are diverse — yes, blacks are present in many suburban and high or moderate income mixed communities. Is it so incomprehensible that sometimes blacks choose to live in certain communities for the same reasons whites do? We looked at other villages and neighborhoods within the city. We noted the presence of blacks in Oak Park when we moved here but that was not conclusive proof for us it was the place to be.
When we moved here 22 or so years ago from Washington, D.C., we had trouble being shown acceptable housing or receiving financing commensurate with our double lawyers' incomes in Oak Park. We had to challenge, legally, our rejection for financing of the home we initially selected at the Federal Home Loan Bank Board. We used several real estate agents, including one who, although specializing in Oak Park sales, took us to view properties in Western Springs and LaGrange. Why? She blithely told us the prevailing feeling in Oak Park was that it had "suffered enough" by accepting blacks, and it was time for other west suburban communities to "shoulder the burden."
After we went to the bank board and it intervened, we finally were able to purchase a home here, but not the one we really wanted. We have spent the last 22 years moving on with our lives, but the memory of those struggles to live in the "jewel" of the diversity crown still reverberates.
Reading Hubbuch's viewpoint article resonated deeply with us. We remembered the struggle we had to even live here, the condescending lectures we have received on why we should be grateful to live amongst "progressive" whites and their "noble experiment," and it reminded us that we should not be surprised that there is still much to learn about one another, and many more bridges to cross in this village of ours.
Mr. Hubbuch is not racist. He isn't using his power and racial bias to deny us anything. Neither ignorance of other cultures nor lack of friends from other races is racism. His article makes me believe he is a thoughtful, self-aware person, and probably a good guy to know. But he seems to be coming to the realization that diversity and cross-cultural understanding and communication are not sunk-in-concrete concepts, but are ever evolving and must be constantly nurtured and explored by all regardless of color or culture.

What a well-written and insightful article! As someone of mixed heritage, I have found that liberals (as opposed to progressive, LOL) can be quite patronizing while bending over backwards to prove how "tolerant" they are. But here's a little secret for you: most of them don't mind if you showed up in the moving van and had polka dots; it's an income/class thing.

The claim of acceptance of diversity in Oak Park has always been a facade. The establishment has always been white anglo saxon protestant - going back decades. The in your face insult of the deligitimization and minimalization of the Jewish holy days of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur for the sake of football games puts the lie to the breast beating. I've been wanting to say this for years. It feels good finally getting it out there.

I appreciate Ms. Adams-Whitaker's thoughtful reflection. She reminds us that our race only partially defines us. We are also defined by our gender,sexual orientation,occupation,rearing,hobbies et al. Each of us is unique. Perhaps what is even more interesting is the lack of response to both my piece provocatively titled "Am I a racist?" and now Ms.Adams-Whitaker's commentary. Both have received less interest than a debate over which area Italian beef stand is best.

A woman who drowned in a northern Colorado irrigation canal while trying to rescue her dog has been identified as 23-year-old Brittany R. Schult of the Eden Valley area west of Loveland.
The Larimer County coroner ruled Sunday that Schult's death was an accident.
Loveland Fire Rescue officials say Schult went into the fast-moving, 48-degree water Saturday afternoon after the dog either jumped or fell in. The dog later emerged safely. Schult's body was recovered about four hours later, five miles from the point she entered the water.

Ruthie & the Wranglers
Ruthie & the Wranglers
Country outfit Ruthie & the Wranglers first made its mark in a big way on the band's home turf in the Maryland and Washington, D.C., region before venturing out to win fans in a wider arena via recordings, beginning with the band's 1997 debut, Wrangler City. Life's Savings followed a year later, and Live at Chick Hall's Surf Club appeared on music-store shelves in 2000. The band earned no less than a solid dozen awards from WAMA, the Washington Area Music Association. The association dubbed the band Best Country Group, an honor that was conferred for four consecutive years beginning in 1997. Wrangler City walked off with awards for both Best Country Album and Best Debut Recording in 1997. Two years later, the band's Life's Savings album snagged awards for Album of the Year and Best Country Album, while "What Mama Don't Know" took home Song of the Year, and the band walked off with the award for Artist of the Year. In 2000, the band's third album, Live at Chick Hall's Surf Club, won in the category of Best Country-Roots/Rock Recording. Over the years, leader Ruthie Logsdon also picked up half a dozen awards from WAMA. The association named her Best Female Country Vocalist in 1998, an honor she earned again in 2000 and 2001. Also in 2000 and 2001, Logsdon took home honors in the category of Best Female Roots/Rock Vocalist. WAMA also dubbed Logsdon Songwriter of the Year in 2000.

Republicans: Obama should pay for college trip
President Obama has been campaigning for reelection on the taxpayer's arm with blatantly political events in swing states, Republicans say.
Republicans: Obama should pay for college trip
House Speaker John Boehner Thursday called President Obama's visits to college campuses in three battleground states this week "pathetic" political posturing and said the president's reelection campaign should reimburse taxpayers for the travel.
Obama traveled to universities in North Carolina, Iowa and Colorado to urge Congress to stop the interest rate on federal student loans from doubling July 1 from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent. Boehner said that Republicans as well as Democrats want to prevent the bump, but there is a predictable stand-off over how to pay for the $6 billion cost.
"Our country's facing some major economic and fiscal challenges, yet here's the president wasting time on a fake fight to try to gain his own re-election," Boehner (R.,Ohio) said. "These are the types of political stunts and, frankly, they aren't worth it and worthy of his office. This is the biggest job in the world, and I've never seen a president make it smaller."
On Wednesday, the Republican National Committee filed a formal complaint with the nonpartisan Government Accountability office, requesting an investigation of the college swing and other recent Obama trips to see if the reelection campaign is defrauding the government.
The White House and Obama for America, the president's reelection committee, said that the travel this week was official because it involved advocacy on a pending legislative issue.
"One might imagine if this were a genuinely government event he might have stopped in a non-battleground state like Texas or Vermont," RNC Chairman Reince Priebus wrote to the GAO.
Priebus said "it is a pattern of behavior that is worsening," saying the White House has charged taxpayers for dozens of campaign-style events over the past three and a half years.
Sitting presidents are required by federal rules to reimburse the Treasury for the cost of political travel – notably the $179,000-an-hour cost of operating Air Force One – but not for the massive security and logistical support system that necessarily accompanies a president everywhere. There is often controversy over what should and should not be reimbursed, and there are inherent political aspects to the job.
"We're not going to get hot and bothered by RNC stunts," David Axelrod, Obama's top political adviser, said on a conference call with reporters Wednesday to announce campaign trips next week to Columbus, Ohio and Richmond, Va.
