Crossover Chronicles:
The speculation that the Memphis Grizzlies were considering signing Delonte West did not hold much weight, but his next destination appears fairly concrete and is even outside of the NBA. No, there are not any overseas plans for West in the works but the veteran guard could have a D-League future ahead of him if ESPN.com reports hold true. According to Marc Stein, West has filed paperwork to enter the NBA D-League's player pool in hopes of returning to good favor with the Dallas Mavericks. The Mavs let West go back in November but that does not necessarily mean their D-League affiliate is not willing to take a flier on West. According to the report, The Texas Legends (who are owned by Donnie Nelson) are at the top of the waiver wire and just might be in the process of reconciling with the well-traveled West. The story is well documented: West's bipolar disorder issues, fall out with teammates and front offices, Boston to Seattle to Cleveland back to Boston and then to Da...

Phillips de Pury Breaks Auction Rules at London Sale Today
Auction house Phillips de Pury & Co. tends to lean heavily toward the contemporary world, which is a lot like loading up your portfolio with small foreign stocks – it's extremely volatile. Before summer ended in 2008, this was a pretty good move, as contemporary art was skyrocketing at auction, and Phillips de Pury was there to take advantage of it. Since then, however, it's been harsh. At the May 14 and 15 contemporary sale in New York this year, the house pulled in only $10 million (compared to $62.8 million a year earlier).
To navigate the severe auction market, Phillips de Pury has decided to stick with the ultra-contemporary market, but it's restructuring, mixing contemporary art, photography and design – all of which are usually listed and sold separately.
Today's the day we'll see if it works. In London, Phillips de Pury is conducting the auction Now: Art of the 21st century. It consists of 291 mixed lots, with everything from photos to furniture. All pieces were created after 2000. There will be a wide spectrum of talent reflected in the lots, as well, with unknowns and high-profile artists like Tom Price and Candida Hoffer coming under the gavel.
Phillips de Pury has a reputation for being a bit more flexible than Sotheby's and Christie's, so breaking with tradition could help the house beat the bust and get back to the business of actually selling art at better than fire-sale prices.

Do you love Transformers? I mean really love Transformers? So much you're willing to get a movie-based car and rock the hell out of it?
Then, and only then, you might be interested in this Transformers Special Edition Camaro. If I need to convince you of how boss the modern Camaros are I'm revoking that man card, and then you're going to have to tell everyone your man card got taken away by a wee lady type.
Starting at $31,650, the 2012 muscle car features Rally Yellow exterior paint with carbon fiber rally stripes. You'll find the Autobot logo throughout the car, inside and out (remember what I said about REALLY loving Transformers?), including the center caps of the 20" black wheels and embroidered into the headrests.
Chevrolet hasn't specified whether or not it turns into a robot who loves you when you get it home, but I'm going to believe it does and they just want to surprise you. I love you too, Bumblebee.
Pre-orders for the Chevy have already begun (call your dealer for deets), with the cars expected to roll out in August.
Do You Love Transformers Enough To Buy This Camaro?
So who's going to make the Optimus Prime semi? Mac? International? Come on, guys.

I thought that today might be the day because not only was the family schedule completely open, but the kids were driving me absolutely nuts as well. I'd been telling them for weeks now that I'd take them to the doctor to get flu shots if they didn't start behaving. Little did they know though, that just like christmas, they were gonna get presents whether they were good or bad just like they were going to get a flu shot regardless of their behavior. I let the kids outside to play and told them that they had to stay in the yard like they were over-excited dogs, because that's what they acted like most the time. It was only a matter of time before someone did something that seemed egregious enough that I could use it as an excuse to round them all up and get them in the van so I could take them down to the Urgent Care Extra in Litchfield. It was a Saturday so there was no way to get them into our pediatrician, in fact, in seemed impossible to get them into the pediatrician for anything that came up. It almost feels like you have to plan all of your illnesses ahead of time, like it was a vacation or something, in order to get seen within a reasonable time frame. That's what I loved about the Urgent Care Extra in Litchfield, you didn't need an appointment and they were able to assist with just about anything that a typical doctor's office or hospital emergency room could. Those weren't the only benefits of going to the urgent care, the normal wait time to see a doctor is usually around 20 minutes or less and they're always kind and professional.
I walked upstairs to get dressed and while I was picking a shirt out in the walk-in closet, I glanced out the window to see what the kids were doing and then, there it was: my excuse to load them into the van and get them their flu shots. Justin was giving a Jack a boost so he could grab onto the drain pipe on the garage, it looked like he was trying to get on the roof. Little Joe was pushing Justin, who again, was giving Jack a boost. So, to me, everyone was doing something that they shouldn't be doing and neither one of them could justifiably feel unfairly picked upon. I pull my shirt over my head and opened the window and screamed that every single one of them better stop what they were doing and get in the house in less than 10 seconds. I grabbed my shoes and walked down the stairs where I saw all three of them looking like dogs with their tails stuck between their legs. I told them that we were going for a ride and that they all needed to get in the van and put their seat belts on. I think they knew that I was taking them to the Urgent Care Extra in Litchfield and that their resistance was futile.

Lake County
Location and Access:
From jct. Hwys. 21 & 60,(3 miles south of Libertyville) take Hwy. 60 east 1 mile to St. Mary's Road, then turn and go south 1.2 miles. The nature preserve is west of the road.
Special Note: Lloyd's Woods is a privately owned nature preserve. Entrance is by permission only.
Lloyd's Woods represents the woodlands that once covered the eastern edge of the Des Plaines River valley. Although logged and lightly grazed in the past, the forest still retains good natural quality. Most of the preserve is mesic upland forest comprised of sugar maple and basswood. The smaller floodplain forest contains silver maple, green ash and willows. The unusual flatwoods community has suffered from the invasion of Dutch elm disease. Swamp white oak and green ash are common here. The herbaceous understory is rich in wildflowers, including large stands of giant trillium, long-beaked sedge, cancer root, ostrich fern and running strawberry bush. The vertebrate wildlife includes chipmunk, deer, raccoon, veery and red-tailed hawks.
Ownership: Mrs. Marion M. Lloyd
Dedicated: November 1982
Size: 104.6 acres
Topo Map: Wheeling 7.5

As the mom of a toddler, you know all the rules by now:
- Stick to a bedtime routine.
- Childproof everything (and still don't let them out of your sight).
- Never give in to a tantrum.
I know them, too, three kids and nine years later. But I've broken more toddler discipline rules with my youngest, 2-year-old Charlie, than I care to admit, and I'm beginning to wonder if I've joined the ranks of parents who are breeding little monsters by being discipline wimps.
"Some kids are temperamentally difficult, while others are more likely to misbehave because our responses encourage it," says Lawrence Shapiro, Ph.D., Connecticut-based dad and child psychologist, and author of The Secret Language of Children. "We know from plenty of research that children need clear limits and structure. When you tell yourself, 'Just this one time,' it's already too late."
But if, like me, you've got a tendency to look the other way when you don't have the time or energy to deal with your toddler's antics, the first thing to do is set some serious limits -- for both of you.
Shapiro advises parents to post a list of simple house rules on the refrigerator to remind everyone of what won't be tolerated. Pick one rule for each year of your child's age -- the misbehaviors that matter most to you and that you know your child can follow, such as "No hitting" or "No climbing on the table" -- and use pictures to illustrate them; your child will eventually recognize and remember them if you make a habit of pointing to each one every time there's an infraction.
Once you've established the ground rules, here's how to stay in control with these common (but crazy-making) toddler behaviors:

Christie's $400 Million Contemporary Art Auction
On May 13, Christie's New York will stage an incredible Post-War and Contemporary Art sale that could realize close to $400 million. Several museum-quality works are on offer among the 57 lots, and Christie's expects several records to be set. Highlights include Francis Bacon's 1976 Three Studies for Self -Portrait, estimated at $25 - $35 million; a morbidly obese Lucian Freud nude, billed as the most important Freud painting ever offered at auction, also est. $25 - $35 million; Willem De Kooning's 1975 Untitled IV, est. $10 - $15 million; several major works by Andy Warhol including his 1962 Campbell's Soup Can (Pepper Pot), est. $6 - $8 million, and his 1986 Self-Portrait, pictured here, est. $2.5 - $3.5 million; Jean-Michel Basquiat's 1987 Victor 25448, est. $4.5 million - $6.5 million; and many more. Some story-hungry members of the press may be rooting for an art market crash, but we're not buying it.

Omaha's police chief is launching the latest police recruitment effort today, the first time he'll make his mark on the kind of officers he wants serving the city.
Chief Todd Schmaderer says he knows what he's looking for in this upcoming recruit class, the first he'll see through from start to finish since taking over last August.
For the first time, the department is using Facebook and Twitter — under "JoinOPD" — to help boost recruitment efforts and reach a broader audience.
Schmaderer wants the next class to be made up of different ages, educational backgrounds, races, sexes and ethnicities. He'd also like to see bilingual applicants who speak Sudanese and Arabic.
In many cases, life experience, including military experience, is as important as educational experience, the chief said.
"Our diverse Police Department should be reflective of our community," Schmaderer told The World-Herald. "What I am looking for is well-rounded, mature, responsible, trustworthy people."
The class is scheduled to begin in October. The department averages about one class per year, mainly because the application process takes so long.
The department currently has 788 sworn officers, 16 fewer than its authorized strength. At least five officers plan to retire this year.
Between 1,500 and 2,000 people are expected to apply. Only about 20 will make the cut.
Schmaderer said that number could grow if more officers resign or retire.
The vetting process is intense. Applicants must undergo interviews, written tests, physical fitness tests, background checks, polygraph tests and psychiatric evaluations.
"You want the best possible candidates you can find, and you want to eliminate any possible issues or personality traits that could lead to problems" on the job, said Sgt. John Wells, president of the Omaha police union. "It is serious."
Once the 20 or so are selected, the recruits will undergo 24 weeks of classroom instruction, followed by 15 weeks of field training in which they patrol with veteran officers.
Recruits earn a salary of $41,538 while attending the police academy, the city's Human Resources Department said. After graduation, their starting salary is $49,358.
The Police Department, which assigns officers to recruit across the city, has faced delayed recruit classes because of city budget issues.
Delaying such classes is a way for public safety agencies to free up money they otherwise would spend on salaries and benefits.
Last year, training for more than two dozen officers began in August instead of May to save as much as $200,000. Officers from that class didn't hit the streets until this year.
Schmaderer said he doesn't anticipate a class delay this time around. He said that in a few cases, classes are delayed to give the department more time to complete the vetting process.
The City of Omaha will be accepting applications through April 30. For more information on becoming an Omaha police officer, visit JoinOPD.com.

what does # do in mysql string ?
I am trying to find the next entry in one of the fields in my table after an entry with '#3' (without quotes) in it. But it keeps returning some other entry in the table and not the one after '#3'
I feel it is something to do with the # but can not find anything on it.
This is the sort of query i am using..
Code:SELECT * FROM `mytable` WHERE `myfield` > '" . $mysqli->real_escape_string($string) . "' ORDER BY `myfield` ASC LIMIT 1

Napoleon Apollo AS200K
Napoleon Apollo AS200K
If this promising newcomer looks familiar, there is a reason. It is a Canadian knockoff of the venerable Weber Smokey Mountain. It comes in two sizes, the Napoleon Apollo AS200K being the smallest. Like the WSM, it is a bullet water smoker, and like the WSM, it is black porcelain coated. One wonders if Weber has plans to sue them or surpass them. Unlike most knockoffs, this unit has a couple of clever design innovations and improvements over the original. But like all the rest, it has the mandatory inaccurate, built-in heat indicator.
At the bottom is a bowl with a steel basket for the charcoal. The basket design seems to be an improvement over the WSM because it is a single integrated piece. On the WSM there is a grate and a ring that sits on top. The bowl has three adjustable air intakes, just like the WSM. In this configuration, insert a grate, and it can work as a simple grill. The lid can fit on it so it looks like a Weber Kettle. The lid design is also better than the WSM in that it is harder for rain to get into the body. It also latches on so the whole unit can be lifted by the handle. There is also a bar in the lid with five hooks so you can hang rib slabs or fish. That's another nice feature because the 16" diameter grate is just long enough to squeeze on one slab of ribs, but if you want to put two or three on the grate, you will need to roll them or cut them in half. Read more about setups for Bullet Shaped Charcoal Smokers.
On top of the base you can add two rings to raise the lid and insert a water bowl and a second grate. The WSM has only one ring in the center, but I'm not sure there is much need for the second ring. There is a nice improvement in that the rings can also be latched on to make it easier to move. Each ring has an eyelet predrilled to allow users to insert a thermometer probe at grate level (probe not included). We also like the fact that the two access doors in the center sections are hinged. On the WSM the single door slides in and out awkwardly.
Another nice feature: It is a little less expensive than the WSM. What is unknown is how they will last. Weber is legendary for making solid, well-built, long lasting cookers. Time will tell if this one will equal or surpass the original.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has provided more details on the possible furlough of Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS) inspectors, which the agency states will occur due to sequestration cuts. During a House Agriculture Committee hearing, USDA Under Secretary of Food Safety Elisabeth Hagen said that the proposed plan includes 11 furlough days, no more than one day a week and no more than two days per pay period, scheduled from July to September. Furloughs will be required of all 9,212 FSIS employees, including 8,136 meat inspectors and lab technicians. According to Hagen, FSIS will likely take a total cut of $52.8 million or 5 percent of its budget.
National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA) Vice President of Government Affairs Colin Woodall said this is the most detailed information provided to date on the furloughs, which were first announced in February by Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack.
"Even though we now have more information on how these furloughs will be carried out, markets continue to be affected because these actions remain a possibility," said Woodall. "Cattlemen and women are left wondering how to prepare for these cuts to food safety inspections and how this will affect their operations. Ultimately we hope that furloughs of inspectors are taken off the table by USDA, so as to not disrupt production."
Recently, Vilsack responded to concerns raised by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and eight other Republican senators in a letter sent in February with questions about the furloughs. The letter asked Vilsack to describe what USDA is doing to reduce travel, conference and operating expenses, provide a legal reason as to why USDA can suspend food safety inspections though the process is mandated by the Federal Meat Inspection Act and also asked Vilsack to provide a plan should the furlough of food safety inspectors take effect later this year.
In a statement issued by Grassley's office, the Senator expressed concern over USDA's response, stating that the agency "is not doing everything possible to avoid something as drastic as furloughing meat and poultry product inspectors. These furloughs mean lost production for more than just the meat and poultry product inspectors, but employees up and down the food chain. The response I received today was unsatisfactory and left me with additional questions." Grassley said in his statement he plans to send a follow-up letter to the agency.

Give digital photos a retro look with Lo-Fi
People take a lot of bad and/or boring photos (myself included). Do it with a smartphone, though, and you've got a bunch of apps, such as Hipstamatic for iPhone and Vignette for Android, to make things more interesting or cover up flaws.

3.68/5 rDev -4.4%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5
Appearance: pours a dark black color with a tan colored 1" head. The head slowly recedes. Spotty lacing develops.
Smell: the aroma is full of roasted malts, dark chocolates, and a touch of alcohol.
Taste: roasted malts, chocolate, vanilla, molasses, mild bitterness, and a soft background hint of bourbon. Alcohol level is mildly noticeable. Roasted malts and chocolates are up front, but the other flavors are a bit behind.
Mouthfeel: medium bodied. Lightly crisp at the start, smoother towards the finish. Aftertaste is long on the flavors.
Drinkability: a decent version of a baltic porter, but personally this didn't overly excite me. This would go nicely with some smokey BBQ. Worth a try as personal mileage may vary.

3.68/5 rDev -4.4%
look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Appearance: Pours a near black body with some reddish hints to it and capped by a well-sized, beige head.
Smell: Dark malt aroma, predominately, with a touch of chocolate and molasses. Lesser notes of vanilla and oak. To my dismay, there's also a teensy, worrisome touch of sourness up in this bouqet.
Taste: Dark maltiness with tastes of chocolate and a few globs of gooey molasses. Restrained sweetness. some dark fruits. Minor hints of vanilla, oak, and light brown sugar. There's a noticeable bit of sourness within. All the flavors make a curtain call in the slightly warming finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: Not too bad beyond that sour twang in the flavor. I'm sure it's nothing a little tinkering and adjusting couldn't cure.

D: Really enjoyed this one. Can't see having it very often with how big it was but a unique offering that was impressive.

2007 vintage.
Aromas are fairly different than I expected. It starts out fruity and winey presumably from the barrel aging. Some lighter roasted/chocolate maltiness with a little vanilla.
Taste follows the nose with dark prunes, plum, cherry and red grapes. Roasted and chocolate malts support the flavor profile. I wonder what this tasted like fresh, because the ABV is completely undetectable after 3+ years. Really unique; the more I think about it this may have developed the fruitiness from some infection or bugs because this is really off in flavor profile. No bourbon or woodiness or hops are detectable.
The mouthfeel is good but too thin for how big this beer is. Good carbonation but way too drinkable. Overall a good beer; not a Baltic porter really though. Not roasted or chocolatey enough for my liking and while I like the unique dark fruit notes, it's just not what I was expecting. Recommended although probably hard to find since it was made 4 years ago.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
A: Poured a dark, near black color with a light cinnamon/beige colored head that was creamy and well lasting but left little lacing.
S: boozy with an oaky alcohol aroma along with some vanilla and dry bitter chocolate.
T: a slight astringency. The beer was aged in 10yr old oak cask barrels that once held whiskey which is very noticeable in both the nose and flavor. A big alcohol flavor of whiskey. 7.8 abv but drinks much bigger greets you from the get go. There is some slight burnt malting and charred woodiness with an earthy bitterness as well. Some dark burnt sugars add just a hint of sweetness as well some dry vanilla creamer notes. The huge whiskey flavor is huge, perhaps a tad to much so and is comparable to dropping a shot in a 12oz glass of dark beer.
M: thin with light carbonation while the oaky vanilla alcohol flavor just takes over dominating the tongue.
D: Not bad but just way to much whiskey flavor in my beer to enjoy in 120z. Maybe if left to mellow a bit through aging this could be much more subtle and drinkable, otherwise while fresh was a little strong.

22 Oz Bottle. Rich bourbon vanilla, oak, bourbon browned malt sugars and nips of candied licorice. Warm, creamy and rich. Pours dark brown-black with creamy tan head. Flavor starts very warm, with lots of barrel char, some scotch alcohols, nips of fusels, a run of burnt coffee and a hot hand of 77% dark chocolate. Moves into a mingling of hops and fragrant malt character. A touch hot, but a fairly decent melding of barrel and beer. Higher hopping enjoyable, and working well with oak dryness. Could use a touch more density and creaminess, but overall a well-done. Bits of salty sea oats. Thanks Sean!

look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5
It pours a rich, deep mahogany, pretty ruby along the edges. A finger of loose, light tan head ebbs soon to frothy globules. Points of lacing minimalize the inside of the glass.
The aroma swirls bittersweet roasted malt, toying with dark chocolate, coffee, port, bourbon oak, cola, and licorice. A mere floral hint of hops caresses a veritably present spine of alcohol.
Upon tasting, there's a flow of slightly charred but mildly sweet roasted malt, with plum, raisin, and smokey oak in play. A vinous note hints at port, and is joined by a strident tendon of seemingly mentholated alcohol. The grain replays briefly before sneaky hops bitter things rather abruptly, leading to a lingering dry finish. It seems like a compressed, almost rushed version of the aroma, but it's still a decently crafted profile.
Medium bodied, the combination of malt, cooling alcohol, and bitter hops keeps the palate awake.
The aroma starts with plenty going on, but pretty much leisurely. Then the flavor compacts the elements into a more concentrated and harder to read burst. The one real distraction, though, is the gleaming streak of alcohol that tries to part the flavor like Moses and the Red Sea. And that ABV goes a long way toward keeping consumption well in line. It's a beefy bugger that has some in the plus column, and is worth a try.

Tons of carbonation bubbles come up through a deep brown brew with slight light around the edges. It has a light, billowy large cola head.
Nose is heavy whiskey, with some malts. Very oaky.
Taste is more whiskey, roasted malts, and alcohol warming in the throat. Heavy whiskey flavors are not really my style, but this seems to be well done and if you're a whiskey lover you'll enjoy this beer.
Mouthfeel is pretty good. Drinkability is ok but not great, because of the whiskey. Kind of a sipper, but still quite nice.

22oz bottle acquired in a couple of trades.
***This one was a gusher - poured all over my bar and left a nice trail all the way to the bathroom sink. Why do the majority of Arcadia beers do this (and why don't I remember that until too late!).***
Poured a dark, dark brown with a large sized off white head. Aromas of wood, vanilla, anise, and bourbon. Tastes of ligher wood, vanilla, brown sugar, roast, and light chocolate. For some reason, both the aromas and tastes reminded me a little of root beer.

22 ounce bomber bottle, no freshness info offered. Pours darkest brown with orangy light shining through the edges of the glass, dark tan, middle of the road head and minor lacing. Nose of vanilla, and smoke. Intense flavors here of wood, burnt grains and smoke. Decent enough porter, perhaps a little thin, went well with some bread cheese and nuts. Not my favorite offering from Arcadia, but worth a try anyway

Wow, is this an interesting beer. Not perfect by any means, but very interesting.
Pours almost black, more like a deep brown, with very little head. The nose is quite sharp -- lots of alcohol and bourbon aromas in there, lots of vanilla, along with chocolate and espresso. Very baltic porter-like. It's not terribly pleasant, but it sure is compelling. On the tongue, there's malt sweetness, then bitterness, and then a big alcoholic burn that's reminscent of the hard alcohol that, apparently, formerly occupied this beer's aging barrels. Surprisingly thin mouthfeel, coupled with a sticky film on the back of the tongue, reduce this one's drinkability. But man, is this one interesting. I'd love to actually see the process of making this one.
Overall, this one is flawed (alcoholic burn, not enough body, overly overt bourbon aromas) but fascinating. I always like to see beers like this -- they don't entirely succeed, but they try real hard and end up being far more interesting than even most of the micro dreck out there.

I didn't realize that this was a whiskey barrel aged beer before I tried it - so that first sip was a shocker. It pours a very dark color with a moderate head that falls quickly and leaves a bit of lacing on the glass. The aroma has a lot of dark malt character with chocolate, but the whiskey comes through as well to create a complex combination. Quite sweet and flavorful flavor with plenty of dark roasted malts combining with a very strong whiskey/bourbon flavor. The body is medium and the drinkability is ok considering the extremely strong flavor of the whiskey.

Nice deep brown color-slight cocoa colored head on top. Very oakey and whiskey like aroma. Good flavor-some roasted malt against a huge whiskey flavor. Tends to be over done for my own personal liking. Oak flavor is way up front as well. Decent level of lactic sweetness-comes across as a sweet stout in spots. Nice body-very smooth and the sweet stout quality balances the overdone oakiness and whiskey. Quite drinkable though not my thing all around. Enjoyable-I would recommend in small doses for sure.

(Served in a dimple mug)
2007 vintage
A- This beer has a deep dense brown body with a hint of brown glow from the base. There is a light tan head of foam that sticks to the side of the glass forming a big meniscus. The body is a bit too dense to see any carbonation.
S- A faint sour cherry note gives way to a big woody oak smell and then to dark roasted malt supported by a soft dark coco powder note.
T- The big woody oak flavor seems to grow larger with each sip. There are supporting flavors of a soft sweet and sour notes, roasted black malt and some toasted malt flavors. A dark raisin note comes through before the finish of soft chocolate malt and chalk finish the beer.
M- This beer has a medium mouthfeel iwth a tight fizz finish but no alcohol heat noticed.
D- The slight funk hint of sour is a nice twist to a barrel aged porter, but the barrel keeps punching me in the mouth and I can't appreciate the rest of the flavors. I know there is a very nice Porter underneath.

What it is! Not my favorite style for summer quaffing but a nice treat on a hot summer's day anyhow. HUGE vanilla and oak from the barrel on the nose, also plum, licorice, espresso, and a touch of tobacco. Perfect tan head leaves a merengue-like film on the side of my tasting glass (from the 1st ever Gitchee Gumi fest, heh heh) and makes me think of dessert. A smokey, tannic dessert beer? Sure, why not. Velvety-smooth with soft carbonation on the first sip, but with a nice hop bite and significant bitterness braced-up against the malt complexity. Notes of green apple in the aromatics, along with complex phenols and warming alcohol. A sipper, not a beer for easy quaffing or light cuisines . . . probably great with cigars. Definitely cellarable and worth stashing a bottle. While this certainly isn't a beer for everyong, it is a beer for me.
Way to go, Arcadia!

I didn't get detailed notes on this one from the Goose Island Beer Academy tasting on October 28, 2009 but this didn't really impress compared to other offerings. It comes across as a solid Baltic style Porter, the barrel aging is minimal, deep chocolate malts and roastiness, but as a special offering it falls a bit short for my tastes. Underperforms most of the Tyranena offerings, my favorite for Imperial porters.

Thru the years I have thought of Arcadia to be hit or miss with there wares,alot of their "big" beers havent lived up to expectations that I had for them.
2008 version.Poured a deep cola color with a creamy toasted almond colored one finger head,aromas mainly of chocolate,dark fruit,and oak induced vanilla notes.The oak is much more pronounced on the palate with some vanilla and wood,dark fruit and bitter chocolate round out the flavors with a bit of sweetish alcohol showing thru more as the beer warmed.Its a solid Baltic porter but not mind blowing.

Pours out an opaque black Stout color with a decent head of cream with lots of big bubbles on top. Laces in patches and smaller marks. Aroma has Irish coffee elements, some reminders of red wine and oak from the barrel conditioning. Mouthfeel is nice to begin with, creamy with subdued carbonation. Flavor features lots of bitter dark chocolate with a snap of vinous raisins and current and highlighting the bourbon casks. It also has good persistance, but perhaps the carbonation (initially smooth) seems a little too active at the end. Plenty of aftertaste, perhaps with a small touch of hops re-inforcing the roasty bittering of the brew, along with some smokey whiskey flavors. Arcadia has a wide range of beers to my tastes, this one works for me.

Pours black with a light brown head with some decent retention. Initial smell is large on sugary vanilla, also has some bourbony alcohol and roastiness. As i get further into it, the smoky roasty aroma and alcohol aroma become stronger. Taste starts with a nice roasted malt flavor, then a sweet creamy vanilla and cola-y flavor followed up by some nice alcohol presence and more roastiness with a little tang. This beer is fairly creamy on the palette with a decent size body and also a fair but proportionate amount of spicy alcohol and a large amount of acidic tanginess. I enjoy this beer, it definitely seems bigger than 7.8 abv and may be too rich to sample too much of but 22 oz is perfect tonight.

Served on-tap at Teresa's Next Door in Wayne, PA.
Pours a dark black with a thin beige head. Aroma dominated by whiskey but also has hints of chocolate and coffee. The bourbon barrel aging results in a strong whiskey presence that is accompanied by malty chocolate, coffee, dark fruit and vanilla flavors. Very tasty!

I haven't seen this one on the shelves for some time now, so I'm guessing this is the 2008 vintage. Review is from notes taken on 12/12/2010 and poured from the bottle to a snifter.
Appearance: Pour is the standard deep dark brown/near black, like coffee, but it has some dark ruby and chestnut highlights near the edges and at the very bottom of the glass; starts with a 1/2 finger creamy tan head that fades immediately to a thin wisp of a skim and an uneven milky ring around the surface; body is nearly opaque, with the exception of the highlights mentioned above; only a couple strands and spots of lacing are left behind as an oily residue makes it slide back into the drink.
Smell: A lot of vanilla right up front, which is awesome, I love picking up on vanilla and just a touch of caramel; some earthy roast in there; a bit of barrel as well; not quite as robust as I would like, but I really like the sweet vanilla that comes out
Taste: Pretty impressive -- a good array of flavors that are well blended -- the sweet and oaky vanilla blends with the earthy roast; a definite presence of dark fruit that is just a little tart (cherry, perhaps?) and just a bit of caramel; an aged presence of alcohol as well that is pretty mellow, but still effective in the set of flavors.
Mouthfeel: Body is just a bit lighter than medium and the carbonation is there, but nearly a non-presence as it is "just" prickly and then fades to a smooth, near flat body (not awful for a 12% porter though, as I wouldn't expect it to be overly carbonated; a moderately thick and dry sticky coating is left all over the palate; for being 12%, the alcohol really creates no burn at all, but the belly is left just a little warm.
Drinkability: Definitely a sipper, but a tasty one. I like the well-rounded set of flavors, but do wish the body was a bit thicker (I guess not every porter can be as viscous as Black Butte XX, which may have unfortunately set the bar a little too high for me); ABV is definitely a factor in this being limited to a 22 oz. bottle by myself, and demands that I enjoy it over the course of at least 1 and 1/2 to 2 hours.

Pours jet black with a tan foam head and splashy lace. Alcohol tears.
Charred malt nose, moderate strength, some black strap molasses.
Big charred malt up front, with scorched coffee and bitter chocolate. An immediate sour note, then alcohol, then bitter dark malt at the end. You get the oak, which is great considering the strength of the other flavors.
Fuller bodied, tongue coating.
Very nice, with a good punch of intensity.

Pours mahogany with 3+ fingers of rocky mocha head. Above average lacing & head retention
S: Bourbon notes & dark fruit
T: Sour mash, dryness & oakyness up front. More of the same, with some oaky & coca-cola vanilla notes & more sour mash & some dark chcolate as this warms. Finishes sour with vanilla sweetness 8 a bit of a booze kiss
MF: Medium bodied, low carbonation, smooth & sticky
Drinks prety easy, a pretty good crack at the style, needs more chocolate or dark fruit to make me happy. If you don't like sour mash you may want to avoid this one

22 oz. bomber with a picture of a shipwreck. Hmmm...I wonder why that ship wrecked, they probably had to much of this stuff on board. It bours black with a brown head that sits low and creamy.
The aroma is all Whisky man, after it warms a bit the Whisky aroma starts to smell a little like maple syrup in the end.
The flavor is an abundance of whisky flavor with some roasted malt and chocolate flavor. The flavor is good but the whisky is a little bit too much. I think I am going to pick up a few bottles of this to let every thing mellow out a bit and then try it again, it seems like it would be good with some age on it.
The mouthfeel is full bodied with medium carbonation.
The drinkability is o.k. but not great because the whisky flavor is so over the top. Try aging this and the drinkability could improve.

Mohagany black color with a cappucino brown head. Settles to a layer of foam atop the liquid. Aroma is strong on the bourbon barrel notes. Lots of vanilla sweetness and woody esters along with a twinge of alcohol. It's all a bit sharp with some roastiness. It really comes out at you. Taste is also on the strong side. Honestly there's not a whole lot of porter in this beer. The bourbon barrel aging really dominates. And I'm not a big time whiskey fan esp. for beers but this one is quite good. It's more of a vanilla/oak flavor rather than whiskey, which just seems to compliment. Not a whole lot of depth or subtlety but I really enjoyed this beer and that's what it's all about in the end. Different, give it a try.

"The most remarkable impression on the Iraqis was McGuinness, once evil incarnate to the Protestants," who now sits as vice- minister to First Minister Ian Paisley, the right-wing fundamentalist preacher trained at Bob Jones University who swore that the Catholic Church was the "whore of Babylon."

The 12 principles and 19 "political objectives," which are online at Helsinkiagreement.com include:
* to resolve all political issues through nonviolence and democracy;
* to form an independent commission approved by all parties to supervise the process of disarmament in a verifiable manner;
* to commit to accept the result of the negotiations with no party subjected to threats of force;
* to establish an independent consultative body to explore ways to deal with the legacy of the past in a way that will unite the nation;
* "a common vision for all Iraqi political entities on the importance of termination of the presence of foreign troops in Iraq through the completion of national sovereignty and rebuilding a national army and security apparatus according to a national vision within a realistic timetable";
* "to convince political groups that are currently outside the political process to initiate and activate a constructive dialogue to reach common understandings";

My Profile

Suite 900
Chicago, IL 60611
Bonnie grew up in the Chicago area, and has lived in many different neighborhoods. That, along with her prior experience, gives her an uncommon perspective into the various activities involved in the business of real estate.
Bonnie believes that a great Real Estate Agent is someone who has knowledge, experience and passion in all aspects of the business. Personally, she has purchased and sold various residential properties in the Chicagoland area and has also acted as an investor, rehabbing vintage properties and building new construction. She has also worked with new condominium development in the area.
Bonnie graduated from Western Illinois University, earning a B.A. in Business, with an emphasis in Finance. Before entering the real estate market, she worked as a Real Estate Appraiser, and also traded foreign currency.
