Poured into a Pint glass
A) Pours thick a very dark brown color like caramel or maple syrup. Not too cloudy thick two finger head that lingers and leaves a good amount of lacing.
S) Toffee candy, caramel, brown sugar, Citra hops, oak
T) Sweet batter, same as aroma and a strong oak finish very pleasant.
M) low carbonation thick
O) Very good beer can't wait to have again. It's a great option for an American style barley wine

Got a Gobet of this for 5 bucks at the Beermuda.
A - Pours a rustic deep brown mildly hazy with a pillow like inch plus of head
S - Smells of aged citrus hops, butterscotch candies, bready malts, oak notes, and a decent amount of sherry.
T - Taste is smooth the hops are fairly aged and take a back seat but still have a tropical tone. The oak is also mixed well within giving a slight woody taste but the majority of the flavors are a sherry and a mild stingy medicinal cherry aspect.
M - Like the regular Backburner the body is thick and syrup like but goes down smooth.
Overall like the oak aged Pumking the oak really does round out the hops and malts, making some flavors stronger and some secondary flavors come to life. Truly a world class Barleywine.

Pours a ruby brown. Cream colored head that disappears after half a minute or so. Minimal lacing. Some visible carbonation. A little cloudy
Smells of toasty malts. Vanilla and oak notes. Toffee and caramel
Taste follows the nose to the tee. Lots of toasty bready malts. Almost a fruit bread flavor. Woody oak with hints of vanilla. Sweet caramel and toffee in the finish. Slight alcohol heat
Feels full-bodied and coating. Some warmth and tingly spice from the alcohol
Overall not too bad. Approachable for those starting their forray into barleywines. not overly complex. The oak smooths the beer out and adds a nice secondary flavor profile. Affordable (8.99), easy-drinking and tasty but not the greatest

750ml poured into a tulip at 46F
A: pours a dark, reddish amber with a half-finger of light khaki head
S: fig and raisin, bready with hints of oak and cherry
T: Dates and raisin with cherry, toffee and oak
M: medium bodied with a big malty beginning and a light hop finish. Balanced booziness
O: A solid beer, but not a showstopper. I definitely enjoyed it, and it gained some complexity as it warmed up from the 46F pour temp. There's just a "stand-out" element missing that places it behind other barlywine-styled brews I've drunk.

2011 bottle I believe
a: This was a slightly hazy caramel color with golden edges; it poured with a small but long lasting sticky head.
s: Lots of caramel and brown propped by surprisingly strong given the age of the bottle, leafy lemon rind hop aromas. There was also some mild toasty oak.
t: Big bracingly sweet molasses and caramel dominate. Towards the middle and finish there was grassy, oaky, alcoholic bitterness that mellowed the sweetness very nicely.
m: Not thin, but thinner than expected.
o: I'm very glad I found one of these but I wish I had more. Great beer with some age on it.

22oz bottle poured into a snifter.
A: Red-brown in color. Good clarity. A quarter inch of beige head quickly dies, leaving only a few small spots of lacing as a legacy.
S: Chewy brown caramel, brown molasses, brown sugar, toasted bread crust. Toasted oak and light vanilla backing. Fig and date fruitiness. Subtle citrus and earthy leaves from the hops.
T: Brown sugar, molasses, and chewy caramel up front. Toast and bread crust. Oak has an established presence on the mid-palate. It comes across as toasty and lightly seasoned with a warming hint of vanilla. Touch of spicy alcohol toward the back end. Just a slight suggestion of citrus peel a subtle herbal, oily spice coming from the hops. Fading finish of caramel, bread crust, and toasty, seasoned oak.
M: Thick in body. Viscous and very chewy. Light sensation of warming alcohol and a gentle touch of hop astringency that has almost been ironed out.
O: A sure winter sipper of a beer. It's very nicely balanced and the oak is well integrated. Alcohol is very tame, even at the 9.6%. A solid buy when it's available.

22 oz. bottle poured into a Burley Oak snifter (bottled on 2/28/13)
A: Pours a nice tan 1 finger head that has nice lacing. It is a solid murky amber brown color.
S: Sweet, sweet malt with some nice tropical fruit notes in there with some taffy and licorice.
T: Very light barleywine flavor. Not very sweet but a very nice even controlled flavor throughout. Easy to drink. Almost creamy tasting. A bit of taffy and licorice as well.
M: Nice solid carbonation that you can just feel in the pressure of it. It isn't so much on the tongue but just in the texture of the liquid.
O: Finally, a good beer in the past few days, it might just have been that I needed a break from stouts. This seems like a light barleywine, but I don't mean that in a bad way. It is a full and flavorful BW that is easy to drink.

22oz bottle into a snifter
no bottling dates
A: Pours an orange-ish brown with ruby highlights when held to light. 1 fingers width of light tan head dissipates down fairly quickly, but leaves lots of lacing.
S: Caramel/toffee, very nutty, apple, candied sugar. Quite sweet, along with some floral hops, and subtle oak that I probably wouldn't have picked up if I hadn't known this was the oak aged version.
T: Follows the nose. Candied sugar, caramel and toffee, nutty. Some hop bitterness on the finish. Again it is quite sweet, deliciously so. I often find American Barleywines too hop forward and at times astringent. That is not the case with this one, as although the hops are certainly more prevalent than most English Barleywines, they still take a back seat to the sweet malts. Nice balance of flavors here.
M/D: Full bodied, appropriately low carbonation that makes it quite smooth, ABV is very well controlled, and drinkability is excellent for the style.
O: Excellent American Barley Wine, one of the best Ive had. Id drink this again in a heartbeat.

22oz bottle (repeatedly poured) into a snifter.
A: Pours a dark chestnut color with a beautiful glow. Given the small glass size, there isn't much head - just a thin off-white film, and even that retains itself poorly. The beautiful shade gives it a few extra brownie points.
S: Lots of caramel, toffee, and earth in this one. The hops seem faded at this point (not unexpected) with only faint notes of melon, peach, and lemongrass. I also pick up additional oaky, vanilla tones as it opens up in the glass. Competent without bowling me over in any way.
T: This opens very fruity on the tongue. There are still some front-loaded hop flavors (it's almost like a lemon cake, in a manner), without any obnoxious bitterness anywhere on the palate. Finish is subtly oaky, but more dominated by sweet, buttery vanilla - and after some time, some boozy touches. The end result is a very sweet brew best suited for dessert, but with a surprising drinkability level. Not amazingly complex, though.
M: It's thick yet soft on the palate - as a barleywine should be - though perhaps a bit too prickly at times. Once carbonation softens, the full texture is allowed to shine through. Oak helps to dry the finish up slightly; this is why it's relatively drinkable.
O: This seems to strike a middle ground between the hoppy American barleywine and the sweet, desserty English barleywine - and truth be told, I'm more reminded of the latter here. Oddly for the style, this is best when it's very cold; it becomes rather imbalanced and even harsh when warmed up sufficiently.

Chestnut brown in color with a reddish hue and a slight haze. Poured with a short beige foam that quickly reduced to a wispy cap. Sweet caramel malt, prune and ripe apple aromas with spicy herbal and citrus hop aromas in the background. Vanilla aromas surface and intensify as this warms. Full bodied, chewy feel with lazy rich carbonation and a pleasant spicy tanginess. Vanilla, ripe fruit, apple and prune flavors throughout. Bready and caramel flavors up front. Tangy, peppery, herbal flavors through the middle that transition to citrusy, bitter hops at the end. Finishes with a sticky sweet maltiness on the edges with a delayed hop bitterness down the middle. Incredibly malty yet a plethora of flavors and hop character.

A-pours a clear ruby red with an amazingly thick and creamy cap of beige foam. This head is just ridiculous. Outstanding retention and bubbly texture and thick blankets of everlasting lace. Absolutely perfect for the style. ***theres STILL a gulp of foam left at the end of the glass. Gosh.
S- hops dominate the aroma, as shown by the IPA-esque foam. Clean and floral bitterness and very very spicy peppercorn and chile. Bold alcohol vapors seem barrel-concentrated similar to whiskey and the oak aromas are powerful and smoothly sweet in the form of cured wood and earthy tannins, but low on vanilla. Half dried orange and sun dried tomato with some mild sandalwood, caramel and toffee notes. Very spicy, earthy, woodsy and manly.
T- as spicy as it smells from this combination of bold hops. Intense oak flavor has been absorbed into every corner of the flavor profile. Huge tannin character and again, low on sweetness. Slight smokiness lends a suggestion of a less peaty Islay scotch and the hops play out a grassy lemony bitterness along with the bitterness of alcohol. Peppery and warm, very bitter but balanced by the oak flavors and concentrated grainy malt. The finish is long and whiskied, with the lingering taste of a saturated barrel and golden raisins.
MF- very low carbonation fades to almost nil by the bottom of an 8oz snifter, adding more whiskiness to the whole shebang. Backburner doesn't feel as hot as it smells and tastes but still has some warming effect on this cool summer night. The body is thickly malted and akin to a thin syrup which is completely acceptable considering the angels have taken their share and surely some H2O along with it. Eisbock concentrated feeling. Sticky and dry, tannic and unashamed. Not for Lil bitches.
D- could be the oakiest beer I've ever had and it's dope when you think of it as a whiskey although it has a distinct freshness to it also. The sheer amount of tannins has my pilot light flickering. A little more sweetness in the flavor would be appreciated but it's a beast as it is. This is a cigar beer if I've ever had one. Something dark to compliment the spiciness.

Pours a rich amber tinged deep brown with a billowing one and a half finger off white creamy head that takes forever to settle,just great clarity and a great head.Toasty oak and alcohol soaked dark fruit in the nose,as it warms a real alcohol zip comes into play.A full creamy feel with low carbonation.Flavors are lightly toasted with a shot of vanilla and raisin,it's not overly sweet though as there is a earthy more toasted finish.I like this better than the standard version,it doesn't seem to be as sweet,the oak is not overbearing.another great one from ST.

look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Appearance: Deep mahogany body with unexpected clarity. Poured a one finger cream-colored head that has now dissipated to a thin film of suds, leaving good lacing.
Aroma: Rich malts oozing with caramel, apple and a touch of hearty spice (like one would find in hot cider). Not much in terms of hops and reminiscent of a Scotch Ale.
Taste: Of the many flavors, the oak is the most prominent. It brings out an almost cinnamon or nutmeg spice note in the grain. This creates a sort of cinnamon apple flavor that gives it an almost candy-like quality. Although it is hard to define what hop flavor is present, it is easier to detect the bitterness that is contributed by them. The bitterness starts about halfway through and continues on through to echo in the aftertaste. This strikes a good balance with the somewhat sweet malt flavor. Once the hop bitterness has faded after each sip, the heat in the back of the throat kicks in. Although I'd classify 9.6% ABV as being only in the upper middle part of the craft beer strength range, it definitely packs a punch in this Barleywine.
Mouthfeel: Almost full in body but not quite heavy feeling. The carbonation is on par with what is expected from an oak-aged brew and brings a lightness to the drinkability. Although classified as more of a sipper, it is easy to take this beast down.
Final Thoughts: I'd been curious to try Backburner for a while now (well ever since I grew to appreciate this style) and while not the beer I expected, it did impress. Just when I'd begun to peg the American Barleywine style as nothing more than citrusy malt-bombs, Backburner comes along and redefines that trend. With characteristics of both an American Barleywine, English Barleywine, and Scotch Ale, Backburner is a treat for those seek out the finer things. Would I drink it again? Sure.

P: Murky mahogany color with a fast fading taupe froth. Wet lacing forms on the sides.
S: Heavy wood aroma, vanilla, sweet roasted caramel malt, creole spices, roasted barley, and a faint old milk aroma.
T/M: Super sweet upfront with toasted caramel, syrup, brown sugar, drinks similar to really sweet tea but with loads of smoldered barley and wood. Hops are earthy and very mild while faint chocolate lingers in the backdrop. A nice full body with moderate carbonation.
O: I hate to say it but I'm not a fan of this one. I like that the oak cuts the sweetness but its just too understated for the brigade of sweetness that attacks the palate. It's like drinking overly sweetened tea. Well put together and easy drinking gives this a bump in points. I read reviews about a strong hop profile so I really want to try a fresh version.

Bomber into Tulip
Appearance- Deep amber, somewhat hazy, half finger head dissipates quickly.
Aroma- Wow, Toffee, Caramel, Vanilla, Some dark fruits(figs, dates), some slight citrus and pine, alcohol but not getting in the way of the other aromas. And it gets much better as it warms up. Getting the oak in the nose for sure.
Flavor-Sweet, a lot of oak, vanilla, caramel, taffy, good balance but on the sweet side of things, Boozy but not harsh. Compared to the aroma the flavor is a lacking.
Mouthfeel- Full, smooth, medium low carb, alcohol warmth
Overall- I have had this before younger and it was very good. Picked up a 15 month old bottle to try. Still a solid barley wine. I have never had the un-oaked version so I don't how it compares but the oak helps this out a lot. I see they dry hop with amirillo and centennial so I'd be interested in finding a fresh bottle some day. If you like barelywine this is worth a try.

22 ounce bottle into snifter, bottled on 2/15/2012. Pours slightly hazy deep ruby red color with a 1 finger dense cream colored head with good retention, that reduces to a thin lace cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass. Aromas of big orange zest, caramel, raisin, molasses, toast, toffee, oak, floral, pine, grass, and floral earthiness. Fantastic aromas with great balance and complexity of malt notes with moderate hop and oak balance. Taste of orange zest, caramel, raisin, toast, toffee, brown sugar, brown bread, floral, pine, oak, grass, and floral earthiness. Minimal bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of orange zest, raisin, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, toast, brown bread, floral, light pine, and hop earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Damn nice complexity and balance of deep malt flavors with moderate hop balance; and zero cloying sweetness present after the finish. Medium carbonation and moderately full bodied; with a creamy, fairly slick, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is very nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with hardly any warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a highly excellent barleywine! All around nice balance and complexity of malt flavors with moderate hops; and dangerously smooth to sip on. A highly enjoyable offering.

Poured from tap into snifter at tap and mallet Rochester ny. Pours a hazy burnt orange with nice lacing. Sweet malty syrup and an almost citrus hop aroma. Taste is somewhat mild toffe at first but finishes with a big toffee caramel hop flavor with a mild vanilla woody oak. Its easy to drink....really easy but hits hard. Its better as it warms. Nice barleywine.

TIme to rev up the old review machine:
Oak Aged-Back Burner; 22 oz bottle; Bottled on 2/28/13; served at 42-45F in my new Firestone Walker Barrelworks Teku:
A - Poors a beautiful clear ruby with a tea brown tint, 1 finger head that clings to the glass as vibrant lacing.
S - The nose is not intense or over powering. There are hints of dark fruit, leather, smoke, and herbal tones from the dry hops. Not really getting any hint of the oak aging in the smell. I would say the smell is just somewhat flat.
T - Upfront, you call tell that there are some complex flavors coming together. Hops, not overly bitter but very fresh at this point. A nice malt balance. Slightly medicinal...and...not much oak.
M - Smooth, vibrant, very fresh. Not cloying or viscous, definitely a drinkable barley wine.
O - A well crafted American Barley Wine. Hits the mark with a nice hop bill that balances the sweetness of the malt. It is what you would expect. The kicker though, is you are not getting much of the oak in the flavor. Perhaps the oak is working in the background to balance out the often assertive flavors in the style. Would like to see how this one works out with age and will definitely consider getting more if it is available.

22oz into a wine glass.
A: Pours out an amber-brown with a small light beige head.
S: Brown sugar, molasses, light oxidation, leafy, overripe citrus. A bit sweet.
T: Brown bread, toffee, a little bit of pleasantly dry oak character, light clementine and hop bitterness.
M: Medium-bodied, light carbonation.
O: This is actually pretty nice. The oak tempers the sweetness a bit, and the hop character isn't astringent or overbearing.

A: Medium copper with a slight haze, I'm pretty sure this was dry hoped hence the haze. The head doesn't get very big but last for a long time with the foam being made of a mix of mostly cream bubbles with some large soapy bubbles that are tan in color. The crown has small blisters indicating that it is not a fresh bottle, have just bought it last week I'm guessing it's a bottle from last year.
S: A moderately-strong, rich malt aroma that has malt sweetness, some ripe cherries, a bit of and caramel. The oak notes are moderate bringing some cinnamon to nose. There is a bit of dark stone fruit at moderately light levels. Maybe this is last years bottle as the hops aroma is pretty low, just a faint citrus. A reasonable amount of floral alcohol aroma as well.
T: The malt flavor is strong and up front bringing a fair amount of sweetness but it is quickly balanced by a strong hops bitterness. The malt bring flavors of caramel, plums and nectarines with a moderately-light cocoa showing up mid-way into the flavor. The hops are again on the low side with a nondescript citrus hops flavor like an aged beer. Light citrus hops flavor but a moderately strong hops bitterness. Having a moderate oak flavor that only underlines the Barleywine flavor with some cinnamon and a faint coconut flavor. The balance of the beer is somewhat bitter while the finish is medium. The aftertaste is of hops bitterness, some caramel malt sweetness and the oak showing a bit more as the other flavors fade.
M: Medium-full bodied with a moderate level of carbonation. This one reminds you that it a sipping beer from the good amount of warmth from the alcohol from the palate to throat to the belly.
O: A fairly sweet beer that's got a good amount of hops bitterness with a moderate amount of oak character. I didn't get much in the way of an other barrel character like like it was a wine or whiskey barrel that it was aged in and overall I'd like a bit more oak character in there. I'd had this fresh before, like out bright tank 13 day after brewing fresh along with from the store where it's had a solid amount of hops flavor and aroma which is awesome if not a bit agressive. Aged this beer has mellowed but I don't see it become an elegant after dinner beer like other Barleywine. Personally I prefer this one young and full of hops character but this still help ease the pain of a long work week just fine.

22oz. Into Founders snifter. Dark brownish red pour. Thin layer of white on top.
Aroma, toffee like maltyness, quite a bit of herbal and red fruity hops.
Taste, some herbal and piney hops initially. Large brown sugar, caramel and toffee follows. Fig. Some woodiness, peat, cocoa even.
Time has been kind to this, making it somewhere in between an American and English Barleywine.
Med-full body, just enough carbonation. Coats well, not too sticky. Alcohol is very well hidden.
Overall very good.

I am not a fan of hoppy barleywines...and this was hoppy...but that said, it was still a very tasty beer but not amongst my favorite barleywines because I look for a more malt forward beer when drinking something out of this style.
As the beer warmed, there were some malt and fruit characters that came through. One thing I noticed missing in this beer was the oak taste, since this was supposedly aged in oak barrels.
Overall this was solid beer but with some many other barleywines out there that I like better, I probably won't buy it anytime soon again.

A: Pours a mahogany brown with ruby highlights and a thin, lingering, tan head.
S: WoW! I was overwhelmed, first by the maple syrup, then by the caramel, then by the oak, and finally by the alcohol. It has a very sweet, thick, high octane aroma with hints of toffee, vanilla, and dark fruit plus citrus & floral hops. I am in love.
T: The label says to serve at 42°F. Do so as its taste is very affect by temperature. Regardless of temperature, it is cloyingly sweet and over-oaked. At lower temperatures, the hops and the alcohol provide a balance that is otherwise lacking. Also when it is warmer, it lack the clean finish and the fruity aftertaste that the brewer intended.
M: Mouthfeel too depends on temperature. Warmer means a thinner body and over carbonation.
O: Obviously the answer is "It depends on the temperature."

Poured into a Lost Abbey tulip, bottled 2/15/12. Pours a orange red, with a one inch off white head, that leaves some solid lace. Smell is hard candy, vanilla, dark fruit, biscuit, carmel, grapefruit, and brown sugar. Taste is really well balanced, lots of vanilla, carmel, burnt brown sugar, and sweet grapefruit in the finish. Body is thinner than expected, the amount of carbonation you would expect, not really dry, and drinkable for its heft. This is a good and different tasting barleywine.

To understand the Celtics' impact, simply compare this season and last season. Ostensibly, both had several common features: both had heated MVP races culminating in first-time winners (Dirk & Kobe), both had solid if unspectacular Rookies of the Year (Roy and Durant), both had highly competitive Western Conference Playoff races (5 50+ win teams last year, 8 this year), and both had teams blatantly tanking for purposes of draft positioning (Celtics & Bucks last year, Heat & Grizzlies this year).
The differences between 06-07 and 07-08, as far as I can tell, are pretty minor. Definitely this year had more blockbuster trades (and the impact was magnified because two of them involved…Boston!), but last year did see Iverson getting shipped off to Denver. Last year was marred by the Nuggets-Knicks "brawl" (or "minor altercation," as it was known to us non-ignorant NBA fans) and a sketchy All-Star Game. This year also had the "feel-good story" of the New Orleans Hornets, but I'd argue that Golden State's finish last year was—if not in the neighborhood—at least a suburb of comparability. In both years, the playoffs were a mixed bag.
But the biggest difference between this year and last year is the Celtics. It's probably because they bring a large, disproportionately vocal fan base, full of old-time (Bob Ryan) and younger (Bill Simmons) tastemakers alike. Thus, their concerns end up being everyone's concerns. For instance, when the team tanked last year, all of a sudden the league as a whole had a problem with tanking. This year? Tanking was no big deal, even though it was—if anything—more blatant (two words: "Patrick Riley").
So here's the interesting part. The final season of The Sopranos drew more fans than ever, and a big part of it had to do with the escalating body count. But the last episode left roughly half the audience alienated, the general complaint being that it lacked an "ending." I firmly believe that by "ending," most people meant "some sort of bloody shootout, preferably involving Tony dying in a pinwheeling spray of blood and diner food." In other words, it was a great last season until the end, when no violence = fan frustration.
Meanwhile, this year's NBA has seen the Celtics rise to the best record, hence viewership and casual interest have correspondingly escalated, and the season has been universally heralded as one of the best in recent memory. But how will it end? The "dream match-up," of course, is the Celtics-Lakers, while anything else is going to be like watching Meadow spend 5 minutes parking a car.
Full disclosure: I'm a diehard loyalist of both the NBA and The Sopranos. I've never not loved the NBA, even when it's supposedly going through a "down" year. For example, I was one of a handful of people in the country absolutely mesmerized by the virtuoso shooting prowess of Chris Gatling in 1995. Similarly, I have and will continue to defend every Sopranos episode ever, including the final one (to all those who complained about the last episode, I ask you this: what more did you deranged sickos want? Phil Leotardo got his head run over by a car, for goodness' sake, was that not enough? And just who precisely was supposed to kill Tony at the end?—he made his peace with everyone, including the Feds. You all are depraved.) So I'll be happy either way, whether the Celtics make it or not. I enjoy the Spurs, and it's not like the Pistons and Lakers have no history of their own.
Random epilogue: speaking of violence, if you're ever bored, I've got a fun activity for you to try at home: watch a really violent movie with Closed-Captioning on. This past weekend, I DVR'd the utterly degenerate and quasi-fascist film 300, but because my wife was trying to work in the other room, all the screaming and axe-on-flesh noises were distracting her. So I turned the sound down and enabled the Closed-Captioning function, and the results were downright comical. In fact, I couldn't resist copying down one of the scenes word-for-word. Looking over it, it's hard to say if this is the dialogue from a movie or the minutes from the President's latest Cabinet meeting. Check it out:
(All grunting)
(Distorted grunts and yells)
(Breathing heavily)
(Heavy, thudding footsteps, growling)
"My king!"
(Growling softly)
(Breathing heavily)
(Sharp tinging)
(Growling fiercely)
"Arcadians, now!"
"Go Show the Spartans what we can do!"
NARRRATOR: "They shout and curse, stabbing wildly, more brawlers than warriors. They make a wondrous mess of things. Brave amateurs, they do their part."

Less a primer on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict than on the machinations of corporate media, Peace, Propaganda & the Promised Land delivers a cogent takedown of American TV news. Counter-propaganda comes courtesy of commentators ranging from the usual lefty suspects (Noam Chomsky, Robert Fisk) to sympathetic rabbis and soldiers. The result may be better suited for classroom viewing than for theatrical exhibition, but that's a tribute to the movie's instructive value. The schematic PowerPoint structure highlights seven "PR Strategies" used by pro-occupation groups to dominate American news coverage of the region. No new ground is broken, but examples of media outrages abound: Fisk recalls a CNN memo instructing reporters to refer to settlements in the Occupied Territories as "neighborhoods"; another segment contrasts the BBC's unflinching coverage of the deaths of a half-dozen Palestinian children with sanitized American versions of the same incident.
Late in the film, one commentator mentions how reckless accusations of anti-Semitism are used to silence occupation opponents, and surely the filmmakers realize their work is headed for the same treatmentit's not hard to imagine how a little willful misreading could reduce the movie to a variant of the old "Jews control the media" slander. Ironically, the most persuasive aspect of Peace for the politically uncommitted may be the attention devoted to anti-occupation Israelis, a constituency all but invisible in the American media. One veteran of the Israeli Defense Forces talks about his participation in Courage to Refuse, an organization of soldiers who have declined to serve in the Territories, and there is heartening footage of Israelis volunteering their time to rebuild Palestinian homes demolished by the government. Ultimately Peace is limited by the very success of its critique; by the end it's difficult to conceive of large-scale change as even possible. But both the movie and the propaganda assault it describes teach one important lesson by example: Get organized.

Wickles Wicked Okra Pickled -- 16 oz
A new favorite!
This is pickled sweet and spicy okra and I love it! I eat them straight from the jar as a snack. I recommended these to a friend who was raised in the South and loves okra. I am a Northern girl but I definitely plan to buy these again.
August 16, 2013
Too sweet!!
Okra is not crunchy or spicey, but rather soft and sweet. I wish Vita Cost would carry a different brand, as my sister gets a German brand locally (in New Orleans) and it's wonderful. I have to rinse these before dicing them for my salads. I didn't expect them to be sweet!

Grant Balfour eager to fill Rays' opening at closer
03/13/14 The HeaterPORT CHARLOTTE
The closer.
It's one of baseball's toughest jobs. You hang around for three, maybe four hours. You head to the bullpen. You sit. You stand. You sit back down. You wait. You watch.
Then suddenly, it's up to you.
You go in at the most intense part of the game: the ninth inning. Get three outs, you get a pat on the back. Give up the winning run, it's nice going, jerk, you are the reason your team lost the game....
Free-agent splurge shows how far back Bucs were
03/11/14BucsIt was just hours into the NFL's free agency period and the Bucs were tossing out contracts like beads at Gasparilla.
They struck deals with a pass rusher and a defensive lineman and a cornerback. They agreed to terms with a pass-catching tight end. They re-signed an offensive lineman.
There was a rumor that coach Lovie Smith ordered 50 pizzas to be delivered to One Buc Place. From the sound of things, he was also ordering a veteran quarterback, an offensive lineman, a linebacker and a kick returner....
Marty St. Louis deserves thanks but not for what you think
03/06/14 Lightning StrikesTAMPA
A lot of people in Tampa Bay are pretty hacked off at Marty St. Louis.
They feel abandoned, betrayed. They feel as if the best player in franchise history walked away from his teammates and his fans and took the Lightning's Stanley Cup hopes with him.
Be angry if you want. That's your right. But there's something else you should be. Thankful.
Not for all of the wonderful things St. Louis did in a Lightning uniform, but for this: St. Louis might have done the Lightning a huge favor....
Bucs need a major overhaul
03/04/14BucsLet's get this clear right from the start. The Bucs are a mess.
That is why they have a new general manager. That is why they have a new head coach.
They went 4-12 last season.
Four … and … twelve.
They're bad and it's hard to remember the last time they were good.
They haven't won a playoff game since they won the Super Bowl. That was 12 seasons, three coaches and something like half a dozen quarterbacks ago. They haven't even been to the playoffs in seven years....
Shooting from the lip
03/02/14 TV and RadioTampa Bay Times columnist Tom Jones looks back at the best and worst from a weekend of televised sports.
Best honor
He never won an NBA championship. He is probably best known for something he said off the court rather than anything he did on it.
But Allen Iverson received a well-deserved honor Saturday: His No. 3 jersey was retired by the 76ers.
Iverson, 38, is famously known for his "We're talking about practice" speech in which he inferred that practice wasn't important, certainly not as important as a game. (You know, he was right.)...
Best coach? How about Gators' Billy Donovan?
02/28/14CollegeWhen people talk about the best coaches in college basketball right now, the conversation usually centers around Duke's Mike Krzyzewski and Syracuse's Jim Boeheim. Then you throw in Louisville's Rick Pitino, Michigan State's Tom Izzo and North Carolina's Roy Williams. Maybe Bill Self at Kansas. But a guy who is seemingly always left out of the best-in-the-country conversation is Florida's Billy Donovan. Forget being among the best coaches in America right now; he belongs on the list of the best ever....
Trade St. Louis? Revis? Price? What are we thinking?
02/27/14 Lightning StrikesI swear this has to be the most screwed-up sports market in the country.
Just think about what we are talking about these days.
The Lightning is in line for a playoff spot, but all anyone can talk about is whether it will trade captain and best player ever Marty St. Louis.
The Bucs have a new coach, but the only story that matters is whether they should trade one of their best players, Darrelle Revis....
2014 shapes up as a big year in Tampa Bay sports
02/25/14 The HeaterStart with 2003. That was a good year. Probably the best year.
The Bucs won the Super Bowl that year. When it comes to sports, it doesn't get much better than winning the Super Bowl.
2004. That was a pretty good, too. The Lightning sipped from the Stanley Cup.
Anytime you get a baseball team, that's a memorable year. That happened here in 1998.
In these parts, we've enjoyed memorable trips — to the World Series and the Final Four. We've enjoyed memorable awards — from Heismans to MVPs. We've hosted some of sports' premier events — from Super Bowls to All-Star Games and Final Fours. We've celebrated college national championships....

02/21/14OlympicsIt might be the most famous moment in Winter Olympics history.
It's certainly the most infamous.
It was more shocking than the "Miracle on Ice'' at Lake Placid in 1980. More spectacular than Franz Klammer's harrowing run in the downhill at Innsbruck in 1976. More dramatic than anything involving Bonnie Blair, Shaun White or Peggy Fleming.
Hard to believe, but it has been 20 years since Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding were teammates on the 1994 U.S. figure skating team, just weeks after Kerrigan was the victim of a bizarre attack planned by associates of Harding, including her husband at the time....

02/18/14 Auto racingLate last year NASCAR driver Brian Vickers was having an ultrasound done on his right leg.

Who's on your pro basketball Mount Rushmore?
02/14/14NbaLeBron James stirred the pot last week when he said he hoped someday to be considered a part of an NBA Mount Rushmore — that is, one of the four best players of all time. I have news for you, LeBron. You're already on the NBA Mount Rushmore. James said his Mount Rushmore for now was Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird and, probably, Oscar Robertson. Hard to argue with any of those choices, though as great as Bird was, I'm not sure he changed the game. He wasn't really a transformative figure the way Johnson was. Magic changed the game by being a 6-foot-9 point guard. Jordan, of course, belongs on any best-ever list of players. So if Johnson, Jordan and James are on Mount Rushmore, who would be the fourth? Yes, you can make strong arguments for Bird and Robertson, who once averaged a triple double for an entire season. That's remarkable....
Bucs should sign quarterback Michael Vick
02/13/14BucsIf this was 10 years ago, you wouldn't think twice. You would take this guy in a second and gladly hand him the keys to your franchise.
If this was six years ago, you also wouldn't think twice. You wouldn't want anything to do with him.
But today, here in 2014, the answer is not so clear either way.
He's still controversial. He's still an enigma. At this point, there are no guarantees that he has much of anything left in his tank....
Yzerman guides a nation's Olympic hopes
02/11/14 Lightning StrikesTAMPA
Lightning general manager Steve Yzerman sat last week in a conference room at the Tampa Bay Times Forum and looked like a guy who hadn't slept in a week and hadn't fully digested a meal in a month.
He looked tired. He looked queasy. He looked like he could have used a pillow, a blanket and, truth be known, a swig of something way stronger than Diet Coke.
This is what you get when you end up with your dream job....

The effort to establish countywide voting centers for upcoming elections is running into snags with disagreement among committee members as to what is actually needed. Yvonne Ramon, head of the County Elections Department, told Hidalgo County Commissioners in their Tuesday, May 21, meeting, the committee had been divided into four parts due to the size of the county. Each group was given instructions and had 18 days to determine where voting centers should be located. Two of the four subcommittees had done their jobs and located suitable locations for voting centers. Two had not.
Ramon told the Progress Times that the legislature had given counties permission to reduce the number of polling sites by up to 65 percent the first year. For Hidalgo County, that would be 48 polling places instead of the current 74 polling places. She said the number could be reduced by 50 percent the second year. Recent studies have shown that 70 percent of the people voted in 25 locations.
Ramon said part of the reason for the reduction is the cost of operating the polling places. Each place had eight workers and payroll costs were as much as $12,000 per location. Some locations had low voter turnout and did not justify the cost.
The elections clerk said in some areas suitable locations were difficult to find because each location had to be ADA compliant for voters with disabilities.
Ramon said the need for suitable voting centers where early voting and voting on Election Day could take place is important. Approximately 70 percent of all voting takes place during early voting days. Hidalgo County had a large voter turnout of 46 percent during the last election.
During discussion under open forum Ann Cass spoke, saying the groups she represents were upset because they could not have their own committee to determine locations; they had to work by precincts instead. Cass represents low-income workers who primarily live in colonias.
Cass felt the time allotted was insufficient and did not allow adequate time to study locations. She also said her committee did not understand they had to measure the locations to see now many voting machines could be used there. Most sites needed to be able to accommodate 10 voting machines. They also were to determine an ADA route for disabled voters inside the voting location and take pictures of the site.
Cass recommended the county continue to use the 74 polling places now in effect to give the committees more time to study the needs. Her committees had sheets of information but no photos to turn in by the deadline. She was told not to turn in anything unless she had all the information.
Also protesting the way things were being done was Rosalee Weisfeld. She discussed events in Travis County and spoke against the reduction in polling sites, which she referred to as a method of "voter suppression."
Weisfeld said Precinct 4 had voted to maintain all current centers and not cut down the number of locations to six as proposed.
Commisssioner Joseph Palacious, Precinct 4, asked what the cost would be if all early voting locations were fully staffed as voting centers. Ramon said she did not have the figures with her but could get them for him.
She later told the Progress Times the cost would be astronomical and cost the county over $1 to keep each polling place fully staffed and open during the entire early voting period.
"The creation of voting centers is not written in blood," Ramon added. "This is a pilot program. If it does not work, we can revert back to the old system."
Judge Ramon Garcia said it looked as if more people knowledgeable about what it takes to run an election need to be brought in to serve on the Precincts 2 and 4 committees to help resolve the issues.

Good Cutters
By D.C.
from South Carolina
These cut great for their size. Cut machine screws, nails, wire, fence etc. Will cut chain link fence with ease. Can't be beat for the price.
Handy little tool!

About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
These are sold elsewhere as "Fence Wire Cutters" for a lot more money. I don't think they're intended to cut anything heavier than wire. I certainly wouldn't use them to cut "rods, bolts, bars, and chains" (unless they were very small).That said, I have several pairs, and I use them to cut everything from zip ties and hay bale twine to wire fencing and even chain link. They're one of the handiest cutters you can have around the barn or in your tool bag. They're much handier than scissors or a pocket knife. And you can't beat the price!
Good for the money
By Doodle Beast
from Augusta,Ga.
I purchsed these to cut brake and throttle cables (wire rope). They cut clean without fraying up the cable but you must position the cable deep in the jaws. Great tool to own!

Woven shades can can complete kitchenJun 14 2010 Woven shades can can complete kitchen According to interior design expert Sue Pelley, homeowners should replace heavy window coverings with simple shades. Pelley added that one of the most important aspects when addressing windows in the kitchen is allowing enough natural light to filter in. While there are a number of options, Pelley suggests using pleated shades to provide some flexibility. "Pleated shades offer a privacy treatment and still allow plenty of light," Pelley told the news source. But pleated shades are certainly not the only option for light control. If too much sun is making a kitchen hot and unpleasant, woven shades can be used to control the amount of heat that enters the room. Woven shades made from bamboo can also benefit the environmentally minded designer as well - bamboo is a sustainable material and a renewable resource. Related Products

Oprah.com | From the March 2005 issue of
O, The Oprah Magazine
Leaving the Saints: How I Lost the Mormons and Found My Faith
Martha Beck is the woman with the blueprint for a more joyful life. She has her Ph.D. from Harvard, is a mother of three, and works as a life coach. In her fourth book, the
columnist confronts her own spiritual hunger and crippling fear in an uncensored account of a chilling personal discovery.
Beck's "love affair with evidence" began when she left her Mormon community in Provo, Utah, to study sociology at Harvard. Returning with her Mormon husband and children, one with Down syndrome, she thought she was back in paradise. But doubts kept surfacing, along with spiritual hunger and crippling fear.
Leaving the Saints: How I Lost the Mormons and Found My Faith
(Crown) is Beck's uncensored account of her chilling discovery that her father—a famous apologist for the Mormon Church—molested her as a child, and of how confronting that holy terror, now in his 90s, helped her complete her arduous journey "out of religion and into faith."

In Room(s): Main Shrine Room
Refuge and Bodhisattva Vows are typically given by the Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche's designated Acharyas (senior teachers). Acharya Moh Hardin will be giving these vows. If you are interested in taking this vow, please talk with your meditation instructor.
Refuge Vow
The refuge vow marks the decision to commit oneself wholeheartedly to the Buddhist path and to further one's practice and training. It is the formal commitment to being a Buddhist, following the example of the Buddha Shakyamuni, his teachings (the dharma) and joining the community (sangha) of fellow practitioners.
Taking Refuge is a step common to all Buddhist traditions. In our tradition, it further signifies taking refuge in our particular Kagyü, Nyingma and Shambhala lineages of teachings and teachers, as represented by an Acharya (senior teacher) of our spiritual leader the Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche.
The vows are open to family and friends of the refugee as well as the Shambhala community.

Barcode4J is a barcode generation package. The following symbologies are currently implemented: Interleaved 2 of 5, Code 39, Codabar, Code 128, UPC-A and UPC-E (with supplementals), EAN-13 and EAN-8 (with supplementals), EAN-128, POSTNET, Royal Mail Customer Barcode, PDF417, and DataMatrix. Supported output formats are SVG, EPS (Encapsulated PostScript), Bitmap images (such as PNG or JPEG), and Java2D (AWT). Additional features include two APIs (XML-oriented and Bean-style), a Servlet with support for SVG, EPS, and bitmap output, a command-line interface, a demonstration applet, and extensions for Apache Xalan-J, SAXON, and Apache FOP.
SPindent (Server Page Indenter) is a JSP/PHP structural validator and indenter. It performs structural compatibility check of inner HTML generated from "parallel" branches of process flow statements such as if/else. It allows for those HTML branches to have different entry and exit HTML stack points, as far as the branches are compatible. This allows for verification and proper indentation of handy workarounds, as well as rusty pyramids. It is based on MixedCC (Mixed Compiler Compiler).
Morph is a Java framework that eases the internal interoperability of an application. As information flows through an application, it undergoes multiple transformations. Morph provides a standard way to implement these transformations. In addition to providing a framework for performing transformations, Morph provides implementations of many common transformations. It has been built from the ground up for flexibility and extensibility, and it integrates seamlessly with dependency injection frameworks such as Spring, PicoContainer, and Hivemind.
Dozer is a powerful, yet simple Java Bean to Java Bean mapper that recursively copies data from one object to another. Typically, these Java Beans will be of different complex types. Dozer supports simple property mapping, complex type mapping, bi-directional mapping, implicit-explicit mapping, as well as recursive mapping. This includes mapping collection attributes that also need mapping at the element level. It not only supports mapping between attribute names, but also conversion between types. Many conversion scenarios are supported out of the box, but custom conversions can be specified via XML.
Template Data Interface (TDI, /ʹtedɪ/) is a markup templating system written in Python with (optional but recommended) speedup code written in C. Unlike most templating systems, TDI does not invent its own language to provide functionality. Instead, you simply mark the nodes you want to manipulate within the template document. The template is parsed, and the marked nodes are presented to your Python code, where they can be modified in any way you want.

The criminal world has discovered a lucrative and growing market: heavy construction equipment. This form of theft hits the wallets of construction equipment owners, causing losses in revenue, man hours, downtime, and missed contract deadlines.
Insurance is not enough. Unfortunately, too many companies learn the hard way that theft insurance is not the complete solution to protecting their bottom line.
The hidden costs of theft:

Had this in a bottle this past Friday at a tasting I was hosting. Whomever brought it must've gotten it at RBB since I didn't find it on the site anywhere (which is highly unusual). I'm not usually one for browns, but this was interesting. The aging gave it a sweeter-than-expected and slightly boozy taste (despite the 8.8% ABV), and yet it finished quite smooth. I've not had anything quite like it. It was a pretty good showcase for what barrel-aging can do for a beer -- positive and negative. Underneath was what tasted like a solid brown ale, which although not my favorite style, is pretty immediately recognizable, but what made it stand out were the barrel-aging characteristics. All told, worth a bottle or a draft if you happen to be up at the brewery.
