2012 South African Theatre Retrospective: Dance and Physical Theatre
2012 is over and done with upon us and as part of a series of four columns that reviews the past year of South African theatre, this final column serves as an overview of various dance shows and physical theatre pieces that have appeared around the country during 2012. Previous columns have focused on the plays; musicals and operas; and comedy and cabaret that have been seen in South Africa this year. For now - on with the dance!
Cape Town City Ballet's 2012 season included classics like GISELLE and THE NUTCRACKER, as well as one of my favourite ballets thanks to the lush score by Alexander Glazunov, RAYMONDA. This version of RAYMONDA, which was presented at the Artscape in Cape Town, was created by Norman Furber for the CAPAB Ballet Company in 1980 and was recreated by Elizabeth Triegaardt from videos made during the 1980s and 1990s. The plot of the ballet is a straightforward one: Raymonda, who is betrothed to Jean de Brienne, is abducted by a mystical sultan, Abderam, who is besotted with her and she is saved by her beloved, which leads to much festivity. The simplicity of the plot means that excellent dancing must be the order of the day in any production of RAYMONDA and this production had many highlights, particularly in Acts I and III.
Contemporary ballet was also seen in Bovim Ballet's revival of their production of QUEEN AT THE BALLET. Passionately danced by the company, the show featured standout performances from Henk Opperman as Freddie Mercury and Devon Marshbank as Jim Hutton. Also prominent in the company were the graceful Tanya Futter, the personable Faye Dubinski and the elegant Nicola van der Merwe.
BURN THE FLOOR stopped in both Cape Town and Johannesburg as part of its current world tour. This exhilarating ballroom dancing extravaganza featured an internationally diverse company, including South Africa's very own Keoikantse Motsepe, the country's local Latin American Champion since 2004. The show takes ballroom dancing - everything from the Viennese waltz through to Latin American styles - and packages it in a sexy show for audiences used to popular dances shows on television like STRICTLY COME DANCING and SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE. Vanessa Harris and Ash Searle, the co-owners of Follow Spot Productions, picked this show as one of their personal highlights of the last year: 'We were blown away by BURN THE FLOOR. The energy was absolutely electric throughout.'
BIKO'S QUEST was presented by Jazzart and the Steve Biko Foundation at the Baxter Theatre in Cape Town, inspired by an exhibition at the foundation, "The Quest for True Humanity." In the piece, director Mandla Mbothwe and choreographers Jacqueline Manyaapelo, Ina Wichterich-Mogane and Mzokuthula Gasa explored not only Steve Biko's life and death, but also a reflection of the relevance of his philosophies 35 years after his murder at the hands of the security police during the apartheid era in South Africa.
Standard Bank Young Artist Bailey Snyman presented his new dance work, MOFFIE, based on Andre Carl van der Merwe's novel of the same name, at the National Arts Festival in July. Dealing with issues faced by gay people in the military, MOFFIE examined both the historical echoes and contemporary resonance of this theme in South Africa, arguing that 'although the Truth and Reconciliation Commission had gone a long way to expose and exorcise some of the atrocities committed in the name of apartheid, very little has been revealed about the adversities faced by gay people under the old regime.' Within this context, Snyman explored love, sexuality, fear, denial and violence in his choreography for the piece, which went on to be performed at the Market Theatre in Johannesburg later in the year.

Chicopee mayoral candidates offer views
Chicopee mayoral candidates offer views
Nov. 1, 2013
Mayor Michael Bissonnette
Former Mayor Richard Kos
Reminder Publications submitted photos
By G. Michael Dobbs
Reminder Publications
asked the two candidates for mayor the same five questions. The following are their answers.
Question: Specifically, what are your top initiatives if you are elected?
Bissonnette: After the completion of the cleanup at Uniroyal, the next thing to do is redevelop the site. The senior center is almost finished, and that's a great start. We're already accepting proposals from developers, and some day in the future, I know that site will be home to a brand new neighborhood with small retail, residential property, and office space. Making that happen is a priority.
Looking toward the near future, we're in the planning stages of a project that will turn the old Chicopee High into a new middle school. Getting this done, and getting it done right, is so important. I want to make sure students have access to up-to-date technology in an modern learning environment, so they can compete in the new economy.
Kos: Implement a balanced economic development plan to create jobs now utilizing Chicopee's Gateway City designation to foster an identity for the downtown, use public dollars to stimulate private investment, and coordinate education and workforce development. Continue my history of strong financial planning and fiscal responsibility.
Balance the roadwork schedule with the impact on our neighborhoods to minimize the quality of life issues through coordination and scheduling and an attention to detail.
Most importantly, however, complete an independent, transparent review of the police department and have the police department pursue a Massachusetts Police Accreditation whose standards as a way of doing business are considered best practices for police departments both administratively and operationally throughout the Commonwealth.
Question: Chicopee has a stable tax rate, two new high schools, is working on finishing a new middle school, no layoffs of police or fire in years, no trash fee and a feeling of safety. Considering that, what are the biggest challenges facing the city in the near future and what do you intend to do to address them?
Bissonnette: The scheduled closing of the landfill in 2016 may not seem like a looming issue to some, and it's certainly not glamorous – but we need to address this now.
Speaking of things that aren't glamorous, completing the sewer overhaul program and working with the EPA [Environmental Protection Agency] to stabilize sewer rates. We've come a long way since I was first sworn in, but we're not done yet.
On another note, we also need to do more to make Chicopee a welcoming place for young families. Kids who grew up here shouldn't feel like they need to move away as adults when they're ready to start a family, and folks from other communities should know that this is a great community for them to come to. The city's first-time homebuyer loan program is just the start of this.
Kos: I am concerned about the vitality and safety of our city. In neighborhoods across the city, break-ins and burglaries are occurring too frequently. As stated earlier, full implementation of best practices have to be initiated in our police department. Increased emphasis on crime watches, neighborhood policing, and published police logs are needed.
Balancing mandates and infrastructure improvements with our ability to pay has to happen. Sewer rates are among the highest in the valley.
I would accelerate the renovation of the old Chicopee High School into a new middle school. I am not going to implement a trash fee nor would I privatize our municipal ambulances.
Question: Both of you have had contentious relationships with the City Council. If elected, would you undertake any different strategy in working with them?
Bissonnette: The most contentious issues before the council are the most complex ones. These issues need extensive conversation and debate, and disagreement isn't bad – it's part of democracy. Listen, I'm serious about facing our challenges, and I get passionate about it. When the council pushes back, it gives me a chance to make my case, and to address concerns. While some councilors and I may argue regularly, I know that they're acting on what they believe is best for Chicopee, and I wouldn't want it any other way.
Kos: I think I enjoyed a successful relationship with the City Council except for my elimination of one position, the assistant City Messenger. Other than that, we worked together to address the Municipal Home closing, funded school repairs for $6.6.million, a new Chicopee High for $54 million, a new Chicopee Comprehensive High School for $72 million, a new library for $9 million, and a new Fairview fire station for $2.2 million and cooperation in adding $10 million to our stabilization fund. I found that they responded to information, logic and respect and plan on continuing that approach. Noteworthy, I have enjoyed much of their support during this election campaign.
Question: Chicopee's stability has been in part due to the utilization of the industrial park land near WARB, which is nearing full occupancy. Do you have any specific plans about developing the Technology Park shared with Springfield?
Bissonnette: A while ago, we had WestMass [Area] Development [Corporation], which owned that land, change its designation from a technology park to a business park. They were then able to sell it to a private company, Harvey Industries, which owns it today.
Harvey Industries intended to develop the property, but their plans were put on hold during the national economic crisis. Now, though, as the private investment economy improves, you'll start to see things happen out there.
Meanwhile, we've been working with Menck USA and Prima Electro to add new, good-paying manufacturing jobs in Chicopee and revitalize once-vacant industrial spaces.
Kos: I will work with the WestMass [Area] Development Corporation (WMDC) to market the property, formerly the Oxford Country Club, to attract new investors to land, which has been fully permitted since I left office 10 years ago when we secured a $4.2 million grant. The Chicopee River Business Park represents the single best development opportunity to create new jobs now.
There is an estimated 65 acres of developable land, up to 500, 000 square feet of potential building development, more than 400 potential jobs, approximately $40 million in projected private investment and $1 million estimated in new tax revenue.
Right now, there is only one company, Prima Electro in the park. This business moved here during my administration over 10 years ago. There are no other tenants. Unfortunately, there has been no attempt to work with the WMDC to partner with them to bring new businesses and jobs to the Park.
I am committed to securing the public dollars needed to leverage the private investment to make this park a success.
Question: Downtown development is an ongoing issue. What are your plans for the future?
Bissonnette: With over $50 million in improvements to roads, sidewalks, and bridges, downtown redevelopment is on the right track, but we still have a lot of work to do. Coming soon, a $12 million renovation of Ames Privilege apartments will add more residential space there. And with commercial space like AM Lithography, and new restaurants and coffee shops coming to Market Square, Chicopee center is starting to come to life.
In the west end, giving new homebuyers the support they need to fix up and move into unoccupied, run-down properties will expand and strengthen all of our downtown.
Finally, working with the state's Gateway City Initiative and the Environmental Protection Agency, we've begun to focus on cleaning up brownfield sites and establishing new locations for future development.
Kos: Developing an identity for our downtown is a must. Drive in to our downtown from the Bosch and what has been done in the last 10 years? The Bosch is a parking lot. My administration worked with Sheriff Ashe to locate the Women's Correctional Facility on Center Street. But that is it until you come to Market Square Billiards, where a building was torn down and a parking lot is being built, an over-budget parking lot. Instead of costing $200,000, it is now priced at nearly $1 million for approximately 23 parking spaces.
We need to provide incentives in an attempt to spread health care industries from the city line into our center. We need to explore re-introducing the arts into the downtown. I am committed to allocating public dollars to our city's entrance and as a catalyst for future private investments. Working with landowners and existing businesses, we need to market the strengths of our downtown, as the weaknesses are obvious. These options and initiatives need to be presented with public incentives for private investment to generate business, jobs and tax revenue in our downtown.

EUR 200m from EIB to support 23 Water Investment Projects across Ireland
- Release date: 24 January 2013
- Reference: 2013-009-EN
The European Investment Bank loan will provide €200 million to support improvements in Ireland's Water Services Investment Programme (WSIP) by financing 23 projects in Dublin and 10 counties around the country to provide new water mains, water and wastewater treatment facilities and reservoirs, as well as measures to improve water conservation.
Minister for The Environment, Community and Local Government Phil Hogan TD said: "I am delighted that the EIB has decided to support my Department's Water Services Investment Programme with a loan of €200 million which will assist in funding 23 water projects. It is an indication of the Bank's confidence in the Irish State and our recovery programme and is a good signal for securing third party financing in the future."
"A programme of water sector reform is currently underway in Ireland, which will see the responsibility for water services delivery moving from local authorities to a new public utility. This will fundamentally change the approach to funding capital investment in the sector in the years ahead including access to third party financing to address the considerable investment requirements of the sector. These reforms will benefit individual householders, but will also attract industries with high water usage like agri-food, pharma-chem and IT. With global demand for water due to rise by 40% in just 20 years, Ireland will be well positioned to attract foreign and indigenous investment, creating real potential for new jobs within the country."
"Investment in the Irish water infrastructure will significantly enhance water conservation measures, improve drinking water quality and reduce risks of pollution. The European Investment Bank recognises the considerable challenges and investment needed in the sector and is pleased to provide the first EIB support for investment in water infrastructure in Ireland for over a decade." said Jonathan Taylor, European Investment Bank Vice President.
A total of 23 individual projects included in the WSIP will benefit from the EIB investment. The water investment initiative also includes replacement of over 300km of old water mains in Dublin City, South Tipperary, Galway and Limerick. In addition the project will increase drinking water supply through two new reservoirs in Kerry and North Tipperary.
Waste water treatment will be enhanced through six new treatment plants in Kildare, North Tipperary, Kerry, Galway and Roscommon. Three local schemes will specifically ensure safe drinking water supply and 28km of new water mains will be laid in Kildare and 13km in Longford.
Four of the projects relate to water conservation with the primary objective being to reduce water loss in the distribution networks. Seven of the projects relate to improvements in water supply infrastructure. A particular focus of investment in this area is addressing risks to public health by the improvement of the quality and supply of drinking water. The remaining twelve projects relate to the improvement of wastewater infrastructure. Investment in this area supports compliance with with statutory requirements and priorities identified in River Basin Management Plans (as required under the EU Water Framework Directive).
The European Investment Bank will provide a 25 year loan and enable quicker implementation of the investment programme. As for all EIB Irish sovereign lending the loan is signed with National Treasury Management Agency (NTMA) acting on behalf of the Irish state. Following agreement of the EUR 200 million loan a first tranche of EUR 100 million will support immediate investment and a second tranche will follow as the investment programme progresses.
During 2012 the European Investment Bank provided EUR 504m for long-term investment in Ireland. This included support for Irish schools, renewable investment projects and lending to small businesses.

Simplicity and Performance: JavaScript on the Server
This began to change in early 2009 with the creation of the CommonJS Project (which, for some mystical reason, stands for Common JavaScript), which unified these efforts under a common namespace, with JS-specific semantics and included a package-inclusion system to boot.
Using Rhino as an example, you could read from a file using:
defineClass("File"); var f = new File("myfile.txt"), line; while ((line = f.readLine()) !== null) { // do some processing } // this example slightly modified and simplified // from the Mozilla Rhino site
As you can see, this is not file processing in JavaScript; it is file processing in Java! All I have done is opened the Java API to JavaScript. It is great if you really intend to program in Java, but it's of limited help if you are trying to do pure JS, and especially if your engine is not Java-based.
With CommonJS, there emerged a standard JavaScript-native interface to include a package, for example an I/O package or http package, and define many of the standard functionalities. Under the covers, the implementation may be C, Java, Erlang or Gobbledygook. All that matters is that the interface to the developer is platform-agnostic and portable from one interpreter to another.
The second missing piece was a server, similar either to Tomcat/Jetty for Java or Mongrel/Thin for Ruby, that provides a real environment, includes the necessary modules and is easy to use. Most important, it needed to take advantage of JavaScript's strengths, rather than attempt to copy a system that works for Java or Ruby. The real breakthrough was Ryan Dahl's Node.JS. Ryan combined Google's highly performant V8 engine, JavaScript's natural asynchronous semantics, a module system and the basic modules to create a server that suits JavaScript to a tee.
Most Web servers have a primary process that receives each new request. It then either forks a new process to handle the specific request, while the parent listens for more requests, or creates a new thread to do the same, essentially the same method if somewhat more efficient. The problem with processes or threads is threefold. First, they require significant resource usage (memory and CPU) for a small amount of differing code. Second, these threads often will block on various activities, such as filesystem or network access, tying up precious resources. Finally, threads and processes require context switches in the CPU. As good as modern operating systems are, context switches still are expensive.
The alternative, gaining in popularity, is event-driven, asynchronous callbacks. In an event model, everything runs in one thread. However, each request does not have its own thread. Rather, each request has a callback that is invoked when an event—like a new connection request—occurs. Several products already take advantage of the event-driven model. Nginx is a Web server with similar CPU utilization characteristics to dominant Apache, but with constant memory usage, no matter how many simultaneous requests it serves. The same model has been taken to Ruby using EventMachine.
As anyone who has programmed in JavaScript, and especially in asynchronous AJAX, knows, JS is extremely well suited to event-driven programming. Node.JS brilliantly combines packaging and an asynchronous event-driven model with a first-rate JS engine to create an incredibly lightweight, easy-to-use yet powerful server-side engine. Node has been in existence for less than two years and was first released to the world at large only at the end of May 2009, yet it has seen widespread adoption and has served as a catalyst for many other frameworks and projects. Quite simply, Node changes the way we write high-performance server-side nodes (pun intended) and opens up a whole new vista.
The rest of this article explores installing Node and creating two sample applications. One is the classic "hello world", a starting point for every programming example, and the other is a simple static file Web server. More complex applications, Node-based development frameworks, package managers for Node, available hosting environments and how to host your own Node environment, will be subjects for future articles.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Reflections at the Wall
By Chaya Oliver It was the first Saturday in January, and there was only a week left in the fall semester at Tel Aviv University. While lying in bed that night, I allowed my mind to wander. I thought about the last six months. I could hardly believe that in less than one week, I would be boarding a plane bound for New York City. It occurred to me that in six months I managed to go to Jerusalem a surprisingly few number of times. I went to the Kotel only once. I never even made it to Ben Yehuda Street and I had a list a mile long of people I needed to buy gifts for. So, as I drifted off to sleep, I decided that the next morning I would catch a bus and make one last trip up to the holy city. I awoke at eight o'clock to find that the sky was an ominous shade of gray. It appeared as though my hopes of the weather cooperating, would be defeated by the infamous winter rainy season. I pulled the covers back and realized that it was also very cold. Well, for a girl from Florida, 40° Fahrenheit is freezing. Nonetheless, I was determined to go through with my travel plans. So, I got out of bed and proceeded to put on two layers of clothes and, knowing that I wanted to go into the Old City, I topped the whole ensemble off with an ankle length denim skirt. I informed my roommates of my plans and I went down to Einstein Street to wait for a bus that would take me to the central Tel Aviv Bus station. At the central bus station I went up to the ticket booth and, in broken Hebrew, asked for a roundtrip ticket to Jerusalem. I climbed onto the bus, found a window seat near the back, and settled in for the 45 minute ride. We passed by the Tel Aviv suburb of Petah Tikvah. A while later there was a turn off to Bet Shemesh and then one to Modi'in. Then the landscape changed and the bus was traveling down a narrow road framed on either side by grassy hills, dotted with flat-roofed Arab houses and surrounded by small grape vineyards. Finally, we began the slow trek up the familiar winding road which marks the final aliyah (ascent) to Jerusalem. At the top of the mountain I realized that the gray clouds were breaking up and the sun was feebly trying to make an appearance. At the Jerusalem central bus station, I transferred to a bus which would take me to one of the gates leading into the Old City. Passing through the gate, it occurred to me that I did not know my way around the Old City. It was obvious that I was not in the Jewish Quarter. On other trips to the Old City I was with organized tours. What if I accidentally wandered into the Arab quarter? While I was frantically looking around for a map, a street sign, a landmark, anything that would point me in the right direction, a little old man came up to me and asked, in heavily accented English, "You Jewish? You want to see the sights? Want to go to the Wall?" Wearily I nodded my head. He said, "C'mon. I will show you." I knew that this man fancied himself to be a "tour guide" and that after showing me the sights he would ask for payment. Quickly, I analyzed the situation, calculated my budget, and decided that I could afford to allow the man to show me around. The old man led me down a narrow, winding, stone path to a small synagogue. Upon entering he took me to a back room with a large box covered by an embroidered velvet sheet. He informed me that this was the tomb of David. It was dubious. I honestly did not know whether or not to believe what the man was telling me, but in spite of this I was enjoying the private tour. After spending another half an hour wandering around from one historical sight to another the little old man pointed out the way to the Kotel and asked for his usual fee. I paid him and walked, with determination, toward the large golden dome in the distance. After all, this was why I had come into Jerusalem. As I waited my turn to approach the Wall, I looked up at the sky, as if I were somehow looking for God. At once I realized that the sky was no longer gray. It was a pale shade of blue and the sun was shining down on my upturned face. I glanced back down to find that there was a small empty space among the line of women in front of the Wall. I quickly stepped forward and pulled out my siddur. I turned to the Minhah service and began the Ashrei. During the Amidah I put my forehead on the cold stone in front of me and I felt an overwhelming rush of kavanah (spiritual intent) flood every inch of my body. I felt tears well up in my eyes and my shoulders shuddered. I was glued to that spot. I knew that I should step back and allow someone else to approach the Wall, but I simply could not move. I just let the emotions wash over me. After what seemed like an eternity I pushed several small pieces of paper into the cracks between the large bricks and started walking backwards. I did not turn around until I reached the end of the mehitzah (divider between men and women). The rest of the day I walked around in a blissful daze. I did go up to Ben Yehudah Street. I bought gifts for almost everyone on my list. I had shwarma and fresh squeezed pomegranate juice from a small stand operated by a man who did not speak a word of English. That evening, as the bus back to Tel Aviv was winding away from Jerusalem, I thought of Isaiah 65:18. God said, "I will rejoice in Jerusalem and delight in her people." It was then that I made myself a promise. I would be back. I would once again rejoice in Jerusalem and delight in her people. My heart is in the East even though I am at the ends of the West.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - During all of the commotion Wednesday surrounding the ammonia leak at the JBS Swift plant at 1200 Story Avenue, one business was affected more than others in the area.The Blind Pig restaurant sits right across the street from the plant, and Wednesday was anything but business as usual. Joe Frase, a co-owner, says restaurant operations were brought to an abrupt halt when a chemical leak forced almost a thousand workers out of the Swift plant and toward the Blind Pig."When they evacuated the plant all the workers were coming across the parking lot in a mob," Frase recalled. "I thought they were just gonna stand in the parking lot, but they came over here. They were hanging around the building, hanging out in front of the door, coming in to use the bathroom in droves."
Frase says a JBS Swift supervisor eventually entered the store and told employees to leave unless they bought food or drinks.
The leak happened just as the restaurant was planning a one-year anniversary celebration next week.
Frase hopes things will have settled down by then. "Hopefully that'll be good, I'm hoping this won't put a damper on it, I think it may have cycled through by then."

Found December 06, 2012 on
College Football Section:
The Tennessee Volunteers thought they had their man yesterday as reports emerged that Charlie Strong was the front-runner for the vacancy that was created after Tennessee fired Derek Dooley.
Unfortunately for the Vols, they didn't factor in that Louisville AD Tom Jurich was ready to make Strong the highest paid coach in FBS.
Jurich told CBSSports.com's Gregg Doyel that Strong is in the top 10 of highest paid coaches in the country.
"It is," Jurich said. "And we'll make him No. 1 if we have to."
Jurich repeated himself in Doyel's article, stating "I said we'll make him [number] one if we have to".
While it's doubtful that Louisville will actually follow through with making Strong the highest paid coach in the country, which is something Tennessee could actually do, the Cardinals do seem ready to pay Strong enough to keep him around.
SI.com's Pete Thamel states that a source told him "It was Charlie's desire to end this constant speculation and re-commit long-term to Louisvi

Titles similar to American Tabloid
Narcotics of all kinds are omnipresent in Ellroy's books, but the most potent drug of all--the most energizing and the most debilitating--is always power. Writing about powerful people is difficult for a novelist who does it unflinchingly because power works against empathy. We never care about powerful characters with the same passion we care for those abused by power, but we are fascinated by them and feel the allure of their addiction. That's especially true here. It's as if Ellroy injects us with a mainline pop of the undiluted power that surges through the veins of his obsessed characters. Though he is thought of as a crime novelist, Ellroy is really a political novelist, and like the best of the breed, his work has no politics. Is his version of who killed JFK believable? Probably, but the real message behind this profoundly disturbing, utterly intoxicating book is how trivial a question that really is. (Reviewed January 15, 1995) Bill Ott

Courtesy of the506.com, here's a look at which areas of the country will be able to see the Broncos-Bears game this afternoon.
FOX doesn't have a double-header today, so areas get either an early game or a late game.
As you can see on the above map, the majority of the country will see the Broncos-Bears tilt (shaded blue) at 2:05 p.m. MST.
We're a little more than an hour away from kickoff.

Poured into a Guinness pint glass.
Absolutely black with a 2 finger dark, frothy tan head with light tan edges. Melts away into a full layer of foam with acceptable lacing.
Smells of chocolate, malt, and roasted grain.
Sweet up front, chocolate, a little coffee then bitter into the after taste. Some yeast and hops notes in the middle. Well balanced. Some alcohol burn, but only as the other flavors wash away. The taste of chocolate lingers throughout.
Full bodied, creamy, smooth, with enough effervescence to keep it interesting. Coats the mouth and tongue and engages the whole palate.
Very good beer. The flavors are quite tasty and the experience worth the price of admission.

11.2 fl oz brown glass bottle with appealing simple label and branded silver/black pry-off pressure cap acquired at a local Texas bottle shop and served into an Avery stem-tulip in low altitude Austin, Texas. Reviewed live. Expectations are high given the brewery's reputation and the beer's current 93 rating. Reviewed as a porter since the label description claims this is simply "Old Engine Oil brewed up to 9% alc./vol" and Old Engine Oil's label identifies it as a porter. I guess there's an argument to be made that this is an imperial porter, but I wouldn't make it.
Served cold - straight from the fridge - and allowed to warm over the course of consumption. Side-poured with standard vigor as no carbonation issues are anticipated.
A: No bubble show forms as it's poured.
Pours a half-finger wide head of nice tan colour. Has decent creaminess and thickness. It's not the rich dark tan with a shiny complexion and an even consistency I've come to expect from the very best porters and stouts, but it's pretty appealing. Unfortunately, head retention is bad (even considering the high ABV) - only about 30 seconds. No real lacing clings to the sides of the glass as the head recedes, but there is a slick clear brandy-like coating that I've come to associate with the booziest of brews (Sam Adams Utopias comes to mind, for example).
Body colour is certainly a dark black, but I don't know that "blackest" is fair (insert racial jokes here). It's opaque, but it isn't a jet black in the way something like Alesmith's Speedway Stout is. No floating yeast particles are visible. Appears a bit undercarbonated.
Overall, it's a good appearance for a porter and I'm looking forward to my first sip. Admittedly, it's not unique or special for a porter. Pretty standard fare in terms of style conventions.
Sm: Finally, a porter aroma with roasted barley! I was beginning to think breweries weren't doing that anymore. I love the roast and I'm praying it's there in the taste as well. Dark malts, cocoa (with a bit of bean-y earthiness), light cream, marshmallow, chocolate, and chocolate malts. It's a damn fine aroma for a porter, albeit not a horribly complex one.
The roast is absolutely a highlight and has me craving the first sip.
A mouthwatering aroma of average to above average strength.
No yeast character, hop profile, or alcohol is detectable - something of a feat at 9%.
T: Damnit. The roast is substantially less prominent in the taste than it was in the aroma; so much for my high hopes. I mean they did print "roasty" right on the label...
Aside from the disappointing lack of roasted barley presence, it's a nice flavour profile for a porter. Dark malts, chocolate malts, cocoa, chocolate (probably milk chocolate), malty sweetness, marshmallow, and a kiss of char/burnt character. I don't find any yeast character, hops, or alcohol - they all get subsumed by the apt maltiness.
It's relatively simple for a porter, but has a fair amount of complexity in general. (See beers like Ballast Point's Victory At Sea for an example of why this is "relatively" simple). And admittedly this is a pretty standard (dareisay basic) build for a porter. But in that sense it's kind of a classic build; this is very much an almost archetypical English porter, and for that I really like it. The simplicity wouldn't bother as much if I'd just been given the roast I was promised.
It's balanced, sure, but as abovementioned, it's fairly simple. Cohesive but not gestalt. I definitely like it, but I saw the potential for it to be great. I wish the taste would deliver on the aroma. Above average depth of flavour. Average duration and intensity of flavour. Not particularly nuanced or intricate. Good amplitude.
Mf: Viscous? I guess; I mean it's thick, but I wouldn't call it syrupy. Heavy and full-bodied, with a powerful presence on the palate. It's got strength without being boozy or hot. Well-carbonated. Slightly creamy. Overall, the texture complements the taste well, but there's room for improvement.
Not oily, gushed, astringent, or harsh. Unrefreshing.
Dr: It's a good beer that could have been great. The absence of the promised roast in the flavour profile really disappointed me. I could absolutely drink my way through a few of these in a night, and it evokes a classic porter feel, but I can't shrug off the feeling of wasted potential. Unfortunately, the unreasonable price point means I won't be buying this again in spite of its obvious quality (I had to double-check the label because the unreasonable pricing had me convinced the Shelton Bastards were involved). Well worth trying once, and I'd love to see how it develops with age. Good work from Harviestoun.

4.29/5 rDev +1.9%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25
Poured from a 11.2oz bottle, no #freshbeer info.
Pitch black pour, dense brown foam that plunges and cascades into the rest of the body. Easily 4-5 fingers worth of head that really takes its time in receding. Sweet, rich milk chocolate in aroma, decadent with hints of darker chocolate. Flavor follows suit with a more semi-sweet chocolate presence accentuated. Like a dessert in a glass. The only qualm is the bitterness that kind of spoils the decadence of the chocolate profile. A small blip in an otherwise awesome brew.

Harviestoun Old Engine Oil Engineer's Reserve has a very thick, dark beige head, with a soapy top, lots of lacing left behind, and an absolutely black appearance. The aroma is strong and pungent: rich, sweet, dark-roasted malt, black cherry, chocolate powder, burnt sugar, and even a slight vegetable smell. Taste is of all those with a hefty bitterness to compliment the sweetness. Mouthfeel is heavy and viscous, and Harviestoun Old Engine Oil Engineer's Reserve finishes dry, rich, somewhat powdery, heavy, smooth, and delicious. Overall, this is a wonderful beer!

Pours a two finger tan head that fades quickly to a thin layer leaving some lace. Black color, no highlights. Light carbonation and medium-heavy bodied. Mellow chocolate nose and flavor is malty chocolate. Finish is bitter chocolate. Higher ABV is hidden. $6.49 for a 330ml bottle from Julio's Liquors Marlboro, MA.

Restaurant Row is largely a snooze for non-tourist diners, but one eatery is trying to change that with some empanadas, taquitos and a large selection of items from a raw bar. La Pulperia took over the space that used to house Pomaire and started serving a menu of Latin American fare this week. If you need help locating it, just look for the band of smokers outside neighboring bar The Ritz, another Resto Row stalwart that is actually popular with locals. The smallish space takes its name from the general stores throughout South America and features wooden fixtures from Brazil and some floor tiles from Mexico.
Those taquitos are stuffed with goodies like lobster, pineapple and sriracha while the empanadas come with mixes like corn and manchengo. There will also be ceviche, cocktails from a former Apotheke bartender and a tiny two seat spot at the raw bar for those who want a view of the shucking. The eatery is now open (371 West 46th St.).

Skylar Diggins scored a career-high 33 points and No. 2 Notre Dame built a 19-point lead in the second half before withstanding a late Tennessee rally in a 77-67 victory Monday night over the ninth-ranked Lady Vols.
Notre Dame (19-1) won its 14th straight game and snapped the Lady Vols' nine-game winning streak. Notre Dame also became the first school ever to defeat both Connecticut and Tennessee in three consecutive seasons. The Irish won 73-72 at Connecticut on Jan. 5.
Jewell Loyd added 10 points for Notre Dame, while Kayla McBride had nine points and 10 rebounds. Bashaara Graves had 19 points and 13 rebounds for Tennessee (16-4). Taber Spani added 12 points and Meighan Simmons had 11 points.
Before the game, Tennessee raised a banner at Thompson-Boling Arena in honor of former Lady Vols coach Pat Summitt, who stepped down in April after winning eight national titles in 38 seasons.

WASHINGTON, DC (WECT) – Congressman Mike McIntyre (D-NC7) is one of 26 party incumbents included in the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's "Frontline Program". According to the DCCC, the program is designed to assist the candidates in the 2014 election "by supporting and expanding their fundraising and outreach operations".
"Under the leadership of Representative Tim Walz, the Frontline Program will multiply Members' strengths, and make sure they are positioned to compete and win – so they can continue to address the problems facing America's middle class," DCCC Chairman Steve Israel said in a news release.
According to Politico.com, "there will also be a heavy focus on providing help with fundraising. President Barack Obama has promised to raise money for the House Democratic campaign arm, and party officials say some of that cash will be directed to the vulnerable members."
Rep. McIntyre has already been mentioned by the National Republican Congressional Committee as being "targeted for attention" in 2014. In a January email sent to media, the NRCC included a "memo" from its Executive Director, Liesl Hickey, which identifies McIntyre's 7th District as one that "got even better for Republicans last year".
McIntyre won re-election over his challenger, state Sen. David Rouzer, by less than 1700 votes out of more than 330,000 cast. It was one of the closest margin of any Congressional race in the 2012 General Election, and the closest race of McIntyre's career since winning the seat in 1996.

Battleship is the game based on the movie based on the Hasbro classic game that first came out in 1943 (that's quite some time ago).
Thankfully, this Battleship game is much different from that Battleship game.

One of the definitions of insanity is repeating the same action over and over and expecting different results. Following this line of reasoning, the last thing we need is to enact more useless, "feel good" gun laws. Enforcing the laws already on the books would be a good start, but moving from a reactive response, relying on knee-jerk emotional reaction, to a proactive response where common sense prevails would go much further in addressing gun violence.
The left, whether liberals, progressives or whatever, always resort to so-called "political correctness" to try to control the discussion. They react emotionally with terms such as "zero tolerance" and "gun free zones," all the while professing that we can legislate morality. A more proactive response would be to get the squeamish out of the way and have trained law enforcement and volunteers in place to respond to gun attacks with equal or superior firepower. Like the NRA says, "The best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is with a good guy with a gun.
As far as political correctness is concerned, I've always understood that politics is the interaction of different points of view. If this is so, how can one side unilaterally declare that they are correct?! This is nothing more than an attempt at mind/thought control, and as far as I'm concerned we should all have zero tolerance for political correctness and recognize "gun free zones" as the "target rich" environments that they are. Remember, when seconds count, the police are just minutes away.

wanted to share this recipe........my sister gave it to me and it is delicious...
good little snack with drinks......along side with other appitizers
I've made numerous times now.......
if I'm in a hurry I pick up a BBQ chicken from grocery store.
chop up chicken........do everything fairly small so easy to roll
green grapes
mix with mayo and curry powder
spread on tortillas
roll.........wrap in Saran
cut into spirals.......
trust me on this..........your friends/family will love them!
Bump for HDM
That is so funny that you should post that now. In this months style at home they have the same app, but instead of tortillas they put them in endive spears. Either way it sounds delicious. I love curry and I can't believe how many people don't.
That would be quite a nice looking appetizer also. You could also use the spinach and/or sundried tomato tortillas for a festive look.
Sounds interesting...celery and green grapes? I would never have thought of combining the two.

It's topped with pistachios and Maldon sea salt. Flavor: Balanced sweet and salty notes and a slow, pleasant build of ancho chile heat. Smooth, buttery body with the crunch of rich pistachios and a soft, clean finish. A complexity so balanced it's hard to resist. About the CollaBARation™: James Beard Award-winning Cafe Pasqual's in Santa Fe, NM has long been a favorite restaurant of the Askinosie family, who have been visiting Santa Fe regularly for over 25 years.

With a heavy nod to the American Southwest, this flavor-forward bar is made with our single origin dark milk chocolate (made with goat's milk) and features ancho chile, pistachios, and Maldon sea salt—all carefully selected ingredients that complement one another with their complexity. We hope this bar takes you on a flavor journey, just like the rich, bold dishes at Café Pasqual's AWARDS: • Silver Medal- Americas- International Chocolate Awards 2013 Certified Kosher D.E.

A Mexican businessman linked to the company whose jet crashed near Monterrey, Mexico on Sunday, killing star singer Jenni Rivera, 43, and six other people, has been convicted of falsifying aircraft records, counterfeiting government inspection stamps, and drug-trafficking charges, court records show.
The businessman, Christian E. Esquino Nuñez, also owes millions in state and federal taxes and even an undisclosed amount to the norteño band Los Tigres del Norte, according to state and court records examined by Univision News.
Now Esquino Nuñez may also have to field questions from Mexican authorities and investigators from the National Transportation and Safety Board (NTSB) who are looking into what caused the crash.The NTSB has sent a team to Mexico to help the Mexican government in the investigation.

Tater Trot Tracker: August 31
These are the types of days where I regret starting the Tater Trot Tracker. Sometimes MLB.tv just doesn't want to cooperate. It can be a little much... But it's what I asked for, so I'll just shut up now.
Home Run of the Day: Mark Teixeira, New York Yankees (Trot Time: 22.72 seconds) [video]
But only because good friend of the blog, Rob Iracane from Walkoff Walk, and his father were able to snag the Teixeira bomb on the fly. That's the two of them hugging there in the screenshot. You can read Rob's take on it over here.
In the non-Teixeira category, the home run of the day belongs to Chicago's A.J. Pierzynski, who crushed a three run blast in the top of the ninth to put the White Sox ahead 4-1 with Manny Ramirez waiting in the on-deck circle. His trot came in at a leisurely 25.77 seconds (video).
(Click "Read More" to continue reading.)
Slowest Trot: Vladimir Guerrero, Texas Rangers - 26.89 seconds [video]
It's always a good day when Vlad Guerrero goes deep for the Rangers, even if that almost always means that we have the slowest trot of the day wrapped up. Ryan Howard also had a huge bomb yesterday, his first home run since July 27. He didn't waste the trot, taking a cool 26.13 seconds to round the bases.
Quickest Trot: Andres Torres, San Francisco Giants - 18.19 seconds [video]
Not only was this Torres shot easily the quickest trot of the night, but it also gave the Giants the lead in the eighth inning. The next quickest trot of the night belonged to Texas' Michael Young, who came in with an 18.45 second trot.

May 23, 2011Excellent game, worth the money + they really pushed the boat out with basic hard copy extras! Well done guys keep it up! cant wait for the witcher 3. lol @ how well the boobs and vagina have been textured, obviously very well researched! On a side note, love how they have used the northern irish accent! good too see that we are rubbing off on the polish that come to live/visit here!
Jun 4, 2011Let's look at this game for what it is and try and dispel a few unworthy comparisons; firstly for the newcomers to the Witcher series, yes I think it does help if you've played the first one - one of the better decision based RPGs (where small decision mattered and could affect gameplay) and no, it didn't copy DA:O -- it was 2 years before, weâ

Aug 29, 2011This is an extremely nice game. If you are into a good story and want to think a little bit and enjoy good graphics, this is a game for you. You can see that the guys from Poland still remember what an enjoyable and challenging game should look like.

Feb 26, 2012Best game of 2011. Combat is meh, but this game isn't about combat. It's about amazing story with moral choices. Usually you can do either bad, or worse choice. Love it.
Mar 7, 2012
Apr 17, 2012The Witcher 2 is GOTY 2011 for me. Incredible graphics, dynamic storyline with different outcomes depending on your choices, diverse gameplay and great replayablity. Also, CD Projekt RED offers fantastic support.
Jun 27, 2013Excellent graphics, excellent gameplay, compelling story. It just hurts when you are a gamer with so many games and you can't put the time into a game that truly deserves it to fully comprehend and control.

Aug 21, 2011Everything that's wrong in the (post)modern gaming industry... done right! Marvelous game with a caring developer behind it...CD Projekt's support seems to fulfill the meaning of "user support"... even topping it with free DLC and a soon-to-be-released free update bringing Witcher 2 to patch version 2.0 with true game-improvement (and that...as we all know - lately - is a rarity).

Oct 7, 2011In short, one the greatest RPG's of all time. Terrifically immersing world and story, believable and original characters, a staggering number of choices and consequences, and challenging gameplay to boot. A must play for fans of the Fanatasy RPG genre.
May 20, 2011
May 19, 2011
Jun 9, 2011Well made game. Game play is very difficult, and choices you make actually make some semblance of a difference....as opposed to Dragon Age 2. I really feel not only was this game an improvement on the original, but a good look at how RPGs of the future should be with high re-playability.
May 17, 2011

May 22, 2011Great game, improves on his predecessor and by far the best rpg released in years.

May 18, 2011Im 3 hours in the game and its stunning from graphics to everything else. Its worth every penny and even more. I feel sorry for DA2 fans who cant stand watching how "Real" RPG beats the crap out of "over-hyped" Bioware company name and their DA2 title.
You can live on past glory, cuz some1 else will come and do it properly. Go Go CD Projekt Red show them how to make RPG.
Witcher is my name! -
May 18, 2011Got to love all trolls, with names like "Bioware" trying to lower this score. This game's biggest flaw is the technical side of things, which they are working out, much of that is user error. This a great game, don't let the bioware love crowd, try hate on this. Because there precious DA2 didn't deliver. Enjoy this great game people!
May 21, 2011Wonderful Action RPG with an amazing story, and available DRM free. But, marred by clumsy controls, a somewhat poor inventory screen, and high graphical system requirements.

May 17, 2011GOTY 2011 candidate, at least unless Diablo 3 shows up this year. An awesome RPG game, just like the first part - compared to Dragon Age 2 it wins pretty much in nearly every aspect (the exception being higher system requirements). It also helps if you are familiar with The Witcher Saga by A. Sapkowski.
May 17, 2011The best game what I've ever played! If you like RPG, you must buy it! I don't know why fanboys of DA2 are rating this epic game down. Someday CD Project will be great company!!! :)

Some people here probably don't know how to read. Clearly it is written - from 18 years! Too difficult for you? Everything has to be easy and friendly as for preschoolers?
Well, kids, TW2 is not for you. Wait a few years.
My real rating is 9.8. -

Aug 20, 2011Very good game a good story. if a little short however the combat is very good and very challenging though the controls could be tightened up a bit as they can seem a bit unresponsive. Vastly superior to other rpg's out there such as Dragon Age which seems to have stolen its combat system from Runescape.
Sep 3, 2011
Sep 8, 2011Simply put, if you enjoyed the first game or are a fan of any RPG this one is by far the best you can find. Despite being a pirate I would happily fork out £40-50 for such a beautifully realised world like that in TW2. GOTY? Quite possibly...
Oct 11, 2011So far my favorite game of 2011, Briliant graphics in a very credible game world. Best feature: the choices you make really do CHANGE the game. Briliant replayability and a long single player campaign. WARNING... Do not buy for your kids... this is a game for adults only.
Nov 1, 2011
Apr 10, 2012The enchanced edition game (2.0) is really great. The Arena mode gives you the opportunity to practice fighing skills (and fighting is really dificult). The story is intriguing... Great and complex game !
Dec 22, 2011Great game with a fan-base passionate & dedicated enough to stamp every negative review with dislike. The game is excellent, but negative reviews are being unfairly reported.
Apr 19, 2012
Jun 3, 2013The best game I have played in quites some time. I enjoyed the story and played both sides of the second chapter. The graphics are superb and the combat while difficult in the beginning was very fun. I also enjoyed the adult themes. The only knock is the abysmal inventory, other than that its a must play for all gamers.
Nov 1, 2012This is truly the best game I have ever played. I shouldn't have to say much for you to understand what I mean, really just read the other reviews. I love this game! Amazing story, characters, world + lore, graphics and more!
Mar 31, 2013There are often fanboy flame wars over whether Skyrim or Dark Souls is better. The majority of them have never played this game. Great Fluid combat that makes you think, an interesting and beautiful world to explore, and a smart interesting story that doesn't shy away from violence and sexuality. Truly one greatest RPG's I've ever played.
Jan 24, 2014This is definitely the best RPG that currently exists. The story, the combat, the enviroment, the graphics and the characters are all perfect. I can't wait for The Witcher 3.
Jul 2, 2013
Dec 2, 2013Game is fantastic! It is awesome, gorgeous and brilliant. One of the best RPG's I have played. Definitely Game of the Year 2011. It just could be a little bit longer.
Dec 20, 2013
Mar 11, 2014
Aug 4, 2011Great Game. The atmosphere is very very good. Minor points are the last chapter that is not on the same level as the first two and also the introduction: a little to difficult because there is not ennough help. Game of the year for now...
May 18, 2011Can we at last put tot bed that games like Jade Empire, Mass Effect and Dragon Age are NOT real cRPG's! This game and it's predecessor, along with Skyrim later in the year, show that Bioware and others now release Action-Adventures and call them RPG's when they are not! Thank god for European publishers like CD Projekt, that still give us deep, mature PC cRPG's like the good old days!
May 17, 2011The Witcher 2 is one of the best RPG I've ever played! It is a game with incredible historical depth, with rich graphics, and a nonlinear story. If you like RPG for adults, meaning that you do not feel that you are taken for idiots, and if you like mature story, then this game is for you. It is beautiful in every sense of the term.
10/10 -
May 18, 2011The only reason not to buy The Witcher 2 is 1) You´re a console fanboy (Idiot)
2) Have a Low-spec PC
Otherwise this is a must-play. Visuals are amazing, combat is challenging and the Insane difficulty is a cool add-on. -
May 21, 2011Almost completely flawless; a work of art and an RPG masterpiece. My only qualm is with the new clunky and overly simplified inventory/journal/quest/codex screen.
May 19, 2011
Jun 7, 2011Great RPG, not as much freedom of customization or discovery as in fallout series or first dragon age, but decent combat system, beautiful graphics, great plot, and simply put one of the best RPGs to come out this year so far.
May 27, 2011
May 18, 2011
May 17, 2011The Witcher 2 : Assassins of Kings is one of the best Action role - playing game ever made by human being. Ladies and gentlemen, here is a candidate for a game of the year.

May 17, 2011The best RPG I've played since Baldurs Gate 2, I can literally not even talk about the sheer quality of this game. Everything is so refined, so perfected.
They did a splendid job with everything in this game. GOTY This century. -
May 17, 2011Normally this is where I would write out a long review telling you about a videogame, however I am left speechless, this is one of the best sequels I have ever played.
This game is amazing, from the combat, to the story, humor, and most of all the improved combat.
This is THE game of 2011.
Witcher fans having something to be happy about, after 4 long years. -

Sep 14, 2011The Witcher 2 easily stands amongst the big boys in the CRPG crowd and is also the best Action RPG to come out since Mass Effect 2.
Sep 7, 2011The Witcher 2 offers awesome sword fights, cool graphics, charming characters, a compelling story, lots of bare skin and a decent shot of vulgar conversations. Damn good.

Top Technical Trades: SPX, Dollar, Nat Gas
NEW YORK (www.TheGoldAndOilGuy.com) -- Wednesday's price action was bearish again and we are patiently waiting for a counter-trend pullback to happen. While there are some good-looking plays out there, I really do not want to get long until the market clears the air with a bout or three of strong selling. Remember 3:4 stocks follow the market and the odds of picking a commodity or ETF that bucks the trend is unlikely.

S&P 500 / Broad Stock Market
We have seen a big run-up in stocks this month and things are looking a little long in the teeth. A large number of stocks are trading above their upper Bollinger bands and the broad market is testing that key resistance level also. Typically when a Bollinger band is reached, we see price reverse for a couple days, at minimum.While the equities market is in a new uptrend, as seen by the moving averages, a pullback seems imminient. The last two days have formed reversal candles and are pointing to lower prices.

Trading Conclusion
Looking at the charts on several different time frames, not all shown here, technical analysis shows a pullback in stocks is highly likely. This is what we are currently positioned for. The U.S. dollars downward momentum is slowing and if it can find a bid today, it should trigger strong selling in both stocks and commodities. Gold and silver are down sharply along with miners. We have been watching natural gas for a few months and know that it has been trading inverse to what stocks do. This bodes well for a bounce in natural gas, if stocks start a selloff. That being said, natural gas is trading at a key tipping point that could spark a very fast and hard drop. This knife can fall at a speed that will take a slice out of your trading account, if not traded and managed properly (tiny position and use of a stop). I actually like natural gas the more it moves down and could issue a buy alert on it today or this week. I would like to see volume decline at this level, showing the momentum is slowing.
