Soundsmith Cartright
If the Soundsmith room had been a van, it would have been rocking. (Hee-haw.) Seriously, there was a party going on in here and Peter Ledermann was the master of ceremonies, cueing up one record while a second was playing. But before I could take a seat, I was mesmerized by this awesome-looking device, the Soundsmith Cartright ($899.95, due early 2011), which resembles some sort of old-school, psychedelic Electro-Harmonix stomp box, but promises to simplify cartridge setup.
The Cartright adjusts settings for vertical tracking force, anti-skating, azimuth, overhang, and stylus rake angle, all at the turn of a knob. No computer software is necessary, so even people who hate computers (paging Michael Fremer, paging Michael Fremer!) can make precise adjustments to their phono cartridge parameters. Included is a specially designed test LP which offers two bands for anti-skate adjustmentone common setting and a slightly undercompensated "Frank Schroder" setting. Because all parameters are adjustable via knobs, the user can customize his selections to suit his mood or preferences.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- After weeks of being barraged with stories about corporate cutbacks and cost-saving measures, I thought it might be interesting to play boss for a bit. To those who have been grumbling over how bad things are at work now, consider how much worse it could be...
In these difficult times, it has become necessary for businesses across our great country to make drastic cuts in staffing and benefits. Since our company had already cut to the bone, it was difficult to find additional areas where expenses could be reduced and new revenue generated. Fortunately, we have creative-minded individuals at our helm, and they have compiled the following initiatives.
Before we address these changes, however, management would like to apologize for any discomfort caused to our staff during the recent installation of coin-operated mechanisms on company restroom stalls. We greatly appreciate your patience (and your quarters!).
With regard to these mechanisms, some complaints have been received about the quarter-per-usage charge being exorbitant. Considering that soap and paper towels continue to be made available at no extra cost, we feel the price is within reason. Please note that routine mopping of company bathroom floors has been discontinued until employees cease the practice of crawling under stall doors to avoid paying the toll. (And remember - letting someone in after you're finished is the same as cheating the company out of a quarter. Don't be a thief!)
Those with access to company vehicles are hereby notified that we will no longer reimburse employees for the cost of washing company cars. While clean fleet vehicles remain as important as ever, we suggest staff members keep their company vehicles in spotless condition by making use of gas station squeegees.
Also, in lieu of continuing our company's contract with Orkin, each department has been assigned its own cat. Management asks that staff members refrain from feeding these cats as it will decrease their efficiency with vermin removal.
It should be noted that an instructional memorandum has been posted in the cafeteria that offers a number of helpful suggestions for how staff members can reframe the recent killings of a dozen of our co-workers by a disgruntled former employee.
"It's a tragedy these people are no longer with us," said our president, "but hard as it is to accept, the end result is a leaner, stronger company." He also stated that the 12 vacant positions will not be filled at this time.
On the revenue-generating front, Cuss Jars have been placed in each department with fines set according to the level of foulness assigned to each word. Bad Habit Jars will also be placed around the building once agreement can be reached on whether or not ass-kissing qualifies as a bad habit. (Typist's note: If it qualifies, our company should be profitable again in no time.)
Please take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with our company's new pay system, which was inspired by our state's mining history. Effective immediately, 25 percent of each employee's weekly pay will be issued in company scrip, redeemable at our company store located on the first floor. Next to the new coin-operated elevator.

We at Razzball realize that exporting our views across the country has damaging consequences on the blogosphere. To help make amends, we are reaching out to leading team blogs and featuring their locally blogged answers to pressing 2010 fantasy baseball questions regarding their team.
Please, blog, may I have some more?andy sonnanstine
The G-Sizzle Fizzle loses more carbonation as we head into September. Grady Sizemore will undergo surgery prior to the end of the season. This means you will lose him at some point this month. The longer the Indians push him the more of a chance that he may not be ready for spring training. The Indians are playing for $23 worth of trinkets right now so this is a no-brainer for them. And a no-brainer is the Indians' management specialty. They called up Michael Brantley to eventually fill-in full-time for Sizemore. Last night, Brantley played left field (went 2-for-4, batted 9th). In 115 games in Triple-A, Brantley had 43 steals. He'll probably be a liability on average, but for those steal-starved teams out there — SAGNOF! Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Hanley Ramirez – Left with a tight hamstring. Had one of those last Thanksgiving on the Hormel. Had to chew around it.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Chad Qualls is probably done for the season. The closer shituation isn't going to be pretty in Arizona, unfortunately. We're looking at a closerousel. I'd list the candidates in this order: Juan Gutierrez, Clay Zavada, Esmerling Vasquez, Daniel Schlereth and Blaine Boyer. Reading those names again, I vomited into a trash bin and the ghost of Hoyt Wilhelm materialized and said in a British accent, "Be careful, Grey. Gutierrez is iffy at best and Zavada can't see past his mustache when he pitches from the stretch." Because times are lean for saves in a few of my leagues, I'll cop to grabbing the first two guys. Careful about going with any of them if you don't need saves. But really, who doesn't need saves? Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Krispie Young – In America, everyone gets a 2nd chance — John Travolta, Michael Vick and the police officer from The Village People. Maybe people get 2nd chances in Kathmandu. I don't know. I've never heard anyone say, "Everyone gets a 2nd chance in Kathmandu." Krispie returns to the majors and should be play nearly every day. What can we expect? Nothing. How's that optimism? But what can he do? Well, he's been hot in his recent Triple-A stint and he had a decent 2nd half last year. Absolute ceiling of expectations would be 4 homers and 4 steals in September. It's not going to save your team, but it could help.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Jake Peavy limped away into the sunset with a walking cast and a .98 difference between his ERA and his FIP, which means his ERA could've been below a 3 when he went down. Pardon me as I cry into a bowl of beer-battered onion rings. Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb and a frozen Ted Williams are standing on a cloud somewhere mocking us. Baseball gods, why didn't you take Joe Blanton? Anyway, here's a list of pitchers with the biggest difference between their actual ERAs and their FIPs. If your guy is on the list, there's hope. Hope is a good thing, maybe the best thing. Some would even say you could go out and trade for some of these guys, you educated fantasy baseball owner you!
Please, blog, may I have some more?With 2 HRs yesterday, Adam Lind now has 36/11/43/.313 on the year. I know, Cody Ross has looked good for stretches. Even Aaron Rowand has had a week or two here and there. But why are people asking me if Adam Lind should be sold off or worse dropped? You don't want 85/27/100/.285? I know he was as boring as dog balls for the month of May. Well, he's batting near-.500 in June. He's shoved into the middle of the Blue Jays lineup like a Jenga piece no one will touch. Heart.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Last week in a barrage of me making sense, I looked at fantasy starters whose ERAs will get worst. Well, do onto others or turnabout is fair play or some other cliché leads me to this post — the inverse of last week's or fantasy baseball starters who will get better. If you weren't around last week, I mentioned what FIP is; don't really feel like going into it again and regular readers will tire anyway, so go back and read last week's. Anyway, here's a list of pitchers with the biggest difference between their actual ERAs and their FIPs.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Well, that didn't take long. Rickie Weeks has swine flu in the wrist. Anything negative health-wise wouldn't surprise me with Rickie Weeks. "Coach, Weeks got the black plague." "Wasn't that only spread by rats 600 years ago?" "Don't know, Coach. After Friday's game, he was with some old broad who had snaggle teeth. Might've been that." I wouldn't be surprised to see this force Weeks to the DL then miss two months of the season because that's what Weeks do. It would be too convenient for Bill Hall to go to 2nd and Gamel to fill-in at third. But offensively it would make more sense than the blahtoon of Counsell and Iribarren. Anyway, here's what I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Chris Carpenter – Returning on Wednesday. I don't think he gets to the All-Star Break healthy. If you have Carpenter, you might think about hammering out a deal. (<–Pun!)
Koji Uehara – 5 IP, 4 ER. I still believe he'll be better going forward than most doodes that are on waivers.
Please, blog, may I have some more?As Stephen Drew tried to take that step forward in 2009 that fantasy baseball owners craved, he hurt his hamstring. Wonder what a Drew family vacation is like… "J.D., you wanna go see the world's largest bottle cap? It's supposedly 17 inches in circumference!" "Sure, I'll go tell Mom and Pop." On the way to the Sequoia, two hamstring pulls, a fractured hip and the Mom needs Tommy John surgery. Pretty sure no one's giving them joint family coverage. The MDs in AZ say Drew's injury shouldn't knock him out longer than the 15 days. When you consider he hadn't even started to hit yet, looks like Drew'll begin his season mid-May. All in all, this is a decent buy low guy right now. If you can trade some spare parts for him (closer-du-jour, extra OF, etc.), he should prove worth stashing. He's still talented and he can have a solid three-quarters of a season. Hopefully, he spent the first quarter on someone else's team. Anyway, here's what else we saw yesterday for fantasy baseball:
Brandon Webb – Earliest return date is late-May. Still a long season so you can't really sell him short, but with the trouble coming in his right shoulder, I'd be worried this doesn't become a worst situation before it gets better.
Please, blog, may I have some more?After I posted the top 40 starters for 2009 fantasy baseball, there was a public outcry in the comments. Where is so and so?! It was as if I butchered their bunny rabbit like the Roger and Me lady. No one's butchering your bunny rabbit, friend. Your bunny rabbit's fine. Unfortunately, I don't think your bunny rabbit's a top 40 starter. Your bunny rabbit, friend, is a top 60 starter. How's dem carrots? BTW, while the 2009 fantasy baseball rankings are the gospel, they aren't set in stone. I update them occasionally. Anyway, here's the top 60 starters for 2009 fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?This post picks out 20 starting pitchers who look like risky propositions in 2009. It leverages findings from our analysis of previous year pitch counts and how this information can help predict a pitcher's chance of breaking down (defined as less than 2000 pitches which is ~ 120 IP) or performance drops (0.50+ increase in FIP) in the following season.

Google to buy Expedia? That's the rumor
Updated 1:55 p.m. PDT with no comment from Expedia.
Correction 12:45 p.m. PDT: This blog initially misstated the day the price of Expedia shares rose on rumors of a possible bid by Google. It was Tuesday.
Does Google want to buy travel site Expedia? A Wall Street analyst referred to rumors Tuesday morning that Google could make a bid and that drove up the stock of Expedia about 9 percent at one point, according to Reuters.
The rumors are just that though, at this point.
The move doesn't exactly make sense given that Google has … Read more

- Date: 14 May 2010
The Copenhagen summit was a major disappointment -- there's no denying it. A historic opportunity to build a better future for us all, especially for poor communities, was shamefully missed.
Lots of people were left wondering -- where next? In this video, we attempt to answer that question. Oxfam's Charlie Powell reviews the outcome of the Copenhagen Summit and what Oxfam is pushing for on emission cuts and climate adaptation finance. Charlie outlines how we're continuing to pile the pressure on throughout 2010 -- and how you can get involved.

The TJMS reacts to commentator Tavis Smiley's comments about President Obama not being the fulfillment of MLK's dream.
9 thoughts on "The TJMS Reacts to Tavis Smiley's Obama Comments"
Sheer fabrics come in many colors and varieties, and some are easier to paint on than others. Beginners might prefer something with a higher thread count, such as silk, which will take a smoother and more even coat of paint. If you're using muslin or cotton, preshrink your fabric by washing it in hot water. This will ensure that no dust or lint is on the fabric to allow smooth application of the border medium and your choice of paint or dye. Thanks a lot.
Thank you Floyd son !
Somehow I can't recall the benefit, other than lip service, that we get each day from Smiley or West. Their modern day persona reaks the same as the Samuel L. Jackson character in Django. They really can't wait to tell massa what that ole black president is doin'…
The good thing is that President Obama doesn't have to answer to either one of them. My daddy needs to be my daddy at home. President Obama is not my daddy, my pastor, or my version of Martin Luther King, Jr. He is the President of the entire United States and there are more than enough folks hating on that fact that he's not in anyone's pocket and the greater majority of the public is more in tune with his hope for them than many of the repubs and certainly the likes of these two educated fools.
Tavis Smily . . . . & some of others . . . who is public & openly . . . keep attacking . . . President Barack Obama ….for one agenda . . . theirs! . . . . This kind of stuff is still . . in some of our D.N.A., . . .I will pray. . . my prayers up! . . . Wipe (from my mind)…….Flush (to keep it movig) . . . . Most of us will continue to be proud of both Men (Dr M.L.King & President Barack Obama) is one of us!
This comment is in reference to commentator Travis Smily's comment about President Obama and the fulfillment of MLK's dream. I must say that I agree with Mr. Smily, President Obama is not the fulfillment of MLK's dream, he is a small part of MLK's dream, but in no way is he the fulfillment of that dream. Racism continues to exist, poverty continues to exist, and wars continue to exist, all the things that Dr. King fought to eradicate, continues to exist. I don't see anyone, today, including President Obama, walking in Dr. King's shoes. I don't see anyone fighting the same fight as Dr. King.
And I think your show belittled the seriousness of Travis Smily's comment, really, is it about his lack of hair? I know laughter should be the best medicine for the craziness in this world, but there are some things that are not a laughing matter, Mr. J. Anthony Brown!!!!!!! And I am not talking about hair or the lack of hair. Dr. King knew that God was the answer, and until we as a nation, we as a race, and we as simply people, realize that God is the answer, we will continue to fight an uphill battle, and a war that will never be won.
Thank you Carolyn Carson for your astute assessment of the situation on the true purpose of the Smiley and West commentary involving the lack of concentration on racial discrimination as well as the needs of the impoverished on the part of President Obama. Moreover, I commend your courage for putting the entire TJMS on blast for their promotion of disdain in the Black community against the sincere purposes for which West and Smiley speak out. As much as we love the TJMS, they must own their part in fostering division among us instead of bringing us together in this respect. Even though I concur that West got it wrong on his opinion of the use of the King Bible, he is quite right on many, many other points of view of this administration — as much as I still love, voted for and commend the President on many of his achievments. Nevertheless, now that he has his second term, I for one am expecting to see that greater accomplishments should be made or at least brought to the forefront and fought for. I am also hopeful that President Obama will heed the words of these two intellectuals as well as others who feel the need to keep his "feet to the fire" — just as long as it all is done "In Love." And that is what West actually espouses as his motivation when I heard him speak nearly a month ago. I for one choose to believe him.
I sometimes listen to the TJMS and have come to believe they are mostly a "common sense" group. That said, I think they probably believe similar to me in that the President has to represent to entire nation regardless of the "not so minority" of it that he appears to belong to. All black folk don't empathize, sympathize or stand for the same things. I think Chris Rock said, "even ni__as don't like ni__as"…
You can best believe that God's plan will prevail in the end… the problem is what we do in the meantime, according to His word, to support our leaders. Check your Bible, if you are a believer, and you'll see that you should pray for your leaders, you should give to Ceasar what is his, and are to serve as if unto God, not man.
Let Tavis and Cornell swirl that around in their mouths before they swallow it and then shut-up with the criticisms and do something that benefits other than themselves. I'm jus' sayin'…

Midnight black with a thick dark mocha head.
Bourbon hits quick and hard followed by sweet vanilla, oak burnt malts, thick sweet chocolate, black fruits, leather, earth, and anise.
Very reminiscent of Dark Lord sweet and big but not copying. Oozing fudge, black cherry chocolate bourbon. Vanilla, oak, charred marshmallow, malt, leather, anise, and more. A monster and delicious.

Reviewing the Barrel-Aged Sodom from Revolution Brewing Company.
Score: 90
6 oz tap pour served in a plastic cup (the top cup) at the grand opening of Revolution's new brewing/canning facility and enjoyed on 05/25/12. Review is from iPhone notes.
Appearance: Jet black. Served with a thin layer of creamy milk chocolate/brown-colored head that settles to a ring around the glass. Good lacing and retention. 4/5
Smell: Milk chocolate, figs, and fudged-dipped cherries. Toffee, sweet bourbon, and molasses. A little oaky vanilla and caramel malt to boot. 4/5
Taste: Dark chocolate covered cherries, caramel and fig. More sweet molasses flavor on the tongue than in the nose. Gets "syrupier" in flavor and mouthfeel as it warms. 4/5
Mouthfeel: Full bodied, minimal carbonation. Syrupy mouthfeel. Slightly sweet finish. 4.5/5
Overall: I am not exactly sure why I am tasting/smelling so much cherry flavor, as it does not seem as though any other prior reviewer detected the same. Who knows -- maybe I was served the wrong beer. Either way, I enjoyed this one -- though I felt it was quite a bit over-hyped.
Recommendation: Worth seeking out to be sure, but this is not one of Revolution's best barrel-aged beers. I chose a shot at this over Gravedigger Billy after waiting in line for half an hour (since I had had the Gravedigger Billy several times before), but I would probably not do that again.
Pairings: Steak.
Cost: $4 for a 6 oz pour at the Revolution grand opening party.

On-tap at Revolution prior to DLD. The brew pours an obsidian hue with very little froth but a menacing oily sheen. It shows legs on the glass' wall. The aroma announces Bourbon before I can even lift the glass off of the table, and the taste backs it up with a wallop of Whiskey. The beer is really tasting quite similar to 2010 BCS. There is also big milk chocolate, buttery oak, vanilla, sweet and roasted maltiness, and a generally nice balance between decadence and reasonability in terms of the favor profile. Quite impressed with this one.

Super dark black body with only a light tan head ring forming, no lace or retention... the aroma is super sweet, tons of bourbon, sweet chocolate, smells like bcs, good... the taste is really rounded and smooth bourbon but also very complex, lot of creamy chocolate with a distinct bitter coffee finish, taste is really rich, almost decadent but I don't detect much alcohol at all... This is a really good barrel aged stout

Served on tap at the Beer Fistival '11.
A- motor oil black with a milk chocolate brown head that seemed inconsistent on tap. On one pour the chocolate-brown head took up 3/4 of the total pour and took several minutes to dissipate into a manageable 1-finger head. On another pour there was no head whatsoever and even when swirling the glass was difficult to generate any frothiness. The body was pitch black with no light getting through.
S- rich sweet and complex smells of chocolate, bourbon, coffee, vanilla, cream, and maybe some dark berrry.
T- nice dark chocolate and bourbon. a little bitter.
M- thick syrupie consistency, almost like you're drinking a mix of Nesquik Chocolate infused with bourbon. This is a true sipper that is dense, thick, and powerful--but you wouldn't want to drink too much of this. It's like liquid chocolate coffee cake. Or melted dark chocolate ice cream mixed with bourbon and dark coffee. Whatever it is, it rocks.
O- A very unique and powerful experience. I went back for several different rounds of this. The barrel-aged version is much more complex and enjoyable than regular Sodom, although I'd say that even the regular version is pretty rich and enjoyable.

Served in a 9oz snifter at the brewpub on eve of DLD '11 (standing room only.) This brew appears black in color with no light shining through it as I hold it up. A dense, dark brown head sits atop the brew and holds fairly well, a swirl revives the cap to a finger's strength.
Smells tangy with notes of bourbon accenting the alcohol aspect. Lots of sweet dark malt suggestions of cocoa powder, dark roasty grain, vanilla and toasted coconut. A light fruity alcohol note emerges across the back slightly fusel and tingles the nose as it warms.
This brew tastes of cocoa powder, semi sweet and lasting with an awesome bakers chocolate flavor moreso than the typical roasty bitter grains. A solid whiskey twang makes the alcohol flavor come forward but it is very enjoyable. It includes a slight herbal hop bitterness that keeps the sweetness in check and a high octane booze kick is perfectly integrated. The aftertaste is lightly wooded with more subtle barrel characteristics like coconut which is very enjoyable.
This is a deeply complex and super enjoyable offering. It is medium to full bodied with a smooth feel and modestly carbonated. It is an awesome example of the style. I would drink this all night if allowed. Great beer and perfect balance and barrel contribution. Screw DLD, I'd drive to Chicago again next year just for this!

Barrel Aged Sodom poured @ DLD 2011!
Pours oily black and has minimal tan head. Legs,all over.
The nose is strictly vanilla oak and booze, in the most articulated and artistic way possible.
Vanilla, oak, chocolate, all bourboned up and dominating. Some toffee and malt roast is also present. A bold sweetness is evident and a bit overpowering. The bourbon is leading the pack here.
The mouthfeel is thick, resinous, and oily, leaving bourbon blanket flavoring throughout.
Overall, if you like bourbon saturated big stouts, this is for you. Taking in all bourbon characteristics, bbl Sodom is a grand slam. A

Enjoyed as a guest tap at Dark Lord Day 2011
Still. Inky black, with no head, save a very thin ring. Thick maple legs as I swirl.
Bourbony, one-dimensional nose. Vanilla extract, molasses, dark chocolate, and not much else.
Bourbony in flavor as well, though with less vanilla and more sweet molasses. Some dark chocolate and cocoa. Tastes like sweet morning pancakes.
Thick, viscous and buttery, with light, massaging carbonation. Lots o' alcohol accosts my tongue and lingers long after the finish.
Too one-dimensional, with no complexity. If I wanted bourbon, I'd buy bourbon.

This was my first time visiting Revolution, for this specific beer.
The look is extremely dark past due motor oil.
Smell was very much bourbon, somewhat similar to KBS in smell
Taste was absolutely amazing. This beer was everything I was hoping for and more. Well balanced and drinks well. The taste was lots of chocolate bitterness with some vanilla. A little bit of alcohol burn, but in a good way.
Overall this is one of my favorite beers, I just wish it was bottled so I could continue to enjoy it. It is everything a big stout should be and so much more.

On tap @ DLD 2011. Served in several small glasses then poured together to fill my snifter to the top with the goodness. I think these were $10 each, but at that point I really wasn't paying...attention, that is.
This beer is very dark, almost pitch-black but a touch of brown and red shine through around the edges. It has a small off-white head that quickly subsides but leaves good soapy lace, which is all you can expect from a BA beer this big!
The smell reminded me instantly of BCS. In fact, I was almost convinced this was really BCS until I tasted it. The nose has strong bourbon notes and a nice fudge base with some notes of vanilla, oak, dark fruit, a touch of caramel and milk chocolate. The nose is delicate but brash, just how I like my beers - the more I explore, the better the scents get.
The taste is also very, very good. It was here that this beer really got its personality across. This beer has great levels of chocolate flavor and vanilla from the barrels. The booze is never too strong, and there's a sweet caramel and chocolate base that never becomes cloying. The barrel has added depth and great balance for a 13% huge stout. This was a standout and, IMO, is better than BCS fresh. Revolution nailed the perfect timing for the -bal age for this one.
Unfortunately, I didn't love the mouthfeel. The carbonation was low, but there, however, the beer just didn't seem sturdy enough for the huge tastes. It was a touch thin. But, with all these qualities considered, I must say this was easily one of the top tier brews I had a DLD this year. Just a wonderful experience to sip on! I don't know if this will ever be bottled, but I'd happily trade for one if it is! A nice introduction to the Revolution!

On-tap at Revolution. Served in a snifter.
A - Finger of mocha foam that settles to a thin cap and thicker collar, leaving behind spotty lace. Body is unsurprisingly black.
S - Smell reminds me a lot of BCS - not surprising considering this is also aged in Heaven Hill barrels. Marshmallow, roasted malts, earthy bourbon, light smoke, chocolate fudge.
T - A nice blend of sweet chocolate, roasted malts, vanilla, bourbon, and oak. Alcohol is well-hidden - seems less hot that BCS is out of the gate.
M - Medium bodied - a touch thin for the style. Sticky, viscous, chewy, with low carbonation. Some alcohol warmth, but not wholly inappropriate.
D - This is a really good beer. I enjoyed it more than Barrel-Aged Dark Lord. It's like a thinner, mellower BCS. I would have had a second snifter if I hadn't had to run. Hope Three Floyds and Revolution make a second batch of this stuff.

On tap at the brewpub, DLD Eve 2011. This was served in smallish goblets, I'm guessing 8-10oz pours. It's dark, more black than brown, with a thin tan cap of finely celled foam.
Many at the table felt this smelled like BCS, and I guess it did a bit but to me it seemed my nose could choose between them. Nice bourbon character, also loads of maltiness, roasty and sweet, some chocolate, dark fruits, etc.
Very sweet initially, with bourbon flavors complimenting but never matching the sweetness. No burn at all, little evident alcohol in flavor (although definitely there, I felt it when I stood afterwards). Delicious, very drinkable, really nice barrel treatment.
Medium bodied, others characterized it as thin but it seemed OK to me, maybe similar to FiftyFifty Eclipse stouts in that attribute. On that note, this is less sweet than Eclipse so maybe this is a tad better in my book. I think it will be a hit, I enjoyed it a lot.

A - Black beer, mocha head that rose up about a finger or so, and faded away to nothingness. Decent retention, nice looking beer.
S - If you gave me a glass of this and told me it was Bourbon County Stout, I would believe you. Chocolate, vanilla, some roast, and a nice bourbon scent. Very appealing.
T - Not quite as sweet as BCS, but very heavy on teh chocolate. The vanilla comes out nicely, and the bourbon is surprisingly not hot. Some good char in there after it warms up a little bit. Very easy to drink and quite tasty. I had more than one.
M - My only complaint about this beer, wish it would thicken up a bit. Approriate carbonation.
O - Fantastic beer, easy to drink, great taste. Would highly recommend.

look: 4.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4
On-tap at the brewpub and poured into snifter.
A - Pours black, mocha-colored head, thin ring around the glass. There's a yellow hue where the beer once was after swirling around a bit. Some small bubbles on top but mostly just blackness.
S - Sweet milk chocolate, dark fruits, slight roast, smooth alcohol. The sweetness is big here, very decadent, both in dark fruits and chocolate. The malty roast is very slight as the beer warms along with a nice smooth alcohol presence.
T - Huge sweetness, dark fruits, chocolate, caramel, oak. The chocolate is just big, plain and simple, followed by oak, dark fruits, caramel. The booze is there, but the sweetness almost overpowers it. If not for the barrel-aging, I would think this would be too sweet, but the oak and bourbon help give it balance.
M - Perhaps a bit too thin, good carbonation, creamy finish.
D - While this is a very sweet beer, the bourbon barrel aging has contributed to it's balance. It's a big boozy monster, but I knew that coming in. I wouldn't say it hides the 13% well, but I wouldn't guess it was that high. It was so rich, this was a one and done for me, although I did enjoy it.
Edit: Taste is 4.25 so I adjusted the look to reflect what I felt is a deserving overall score.

just an all around great car. fast as a bat out of... well, you know. gets tons of looks from people when they realize it has a V8.
navigation could be a lot better. gas mileage ain't the best, but we already know that. did i say it was fast?

overall, love it. would buy another one in a second.

Unique styling and fantastic performace.
Low gas mileage but expected for a V-8 sports car, still love it!
Overall review:
This is a very unique vehicle. I have not seen one similar model on the road since I've owned it. Amazing performance from the 6 speed manual transmission and absolutely NO WIND NOISE from this 2007 Audi S4 convertible model, wonderful! Top goes down in 21 seconds for a completely new driving experience. The quattro makes this a four season vehicle, although, I would recommend investing in a second set of winter rims and tires. The 18" high performance tires are best for summer driving.

The Audi S4
by An MSN Autos Consumer on 07/31/2007.
Trim: 2007 Audi S4 Sport Sedan with Tiptronic, Owned 1 year.
Acceleration and handling for this vehicle are supurb. The comfort provided by the recaro seats is impressive as well; however, the backseat is small--as expected on this size vehicle.
Gas mileage is low, but what do you expect out of a V8?
Overall review:
The Audi S4 is often compared to the BMW M3. While the M3 is faster of the line, the practicality and comfort of the S4 are difficult to beat. With four doors and a sleek interior, this car, in my opinion, beats any other in its class.

Slow and heavy. It seems the car got a ultra heavy v-6 under the hood.
Overall review:
There are better options for this price range (eg. M3)

Too nice without calling attention to oneself.

I now have 50 K miles on my 07 S4. I cannot find a reason to replace it, It handles and accelerates quite well. The V8 sound is exquisite. What a sublime nice vehicle to ride "under the radar"/
Overall review:
The ultimate "sleeper".

And then there were two. Starting today, Joe Squared is serving its square, coal-fired-oven pizzas at the Power Plant Live! complex in addition to its original North Avenue location.
At the Inner Harbor spot, customers will find a bar and counter seating, an outdoor patio, and the same food they've enjoyed at the original pizzeria, according to a press release received today.
There will be 20 signature pizzas, 17 risottos, wings, potato skins, pastas, salads, and more. Slices of pizza will be available after 10 p.m.
The venue, owned by Joe Edwardsen, will also offer music and art shows. And, rum connoisseurs, it will also feature brands from 20 countries.
The website says there will be delivery to downtown businesses and hotels. (I hope that includes Harbor East, where I work.)

Travel mugs are indispensable at sea - Cruise tip
Coffee and tea are abundantly available on board, but cruise cups are notoriously small, so you'll need a few refills for a proper morning jolt. If coffee's not your thing, the mug comes in handy for preventing spills in busy buffet lines. Poolside, the insulation keeps drinks frosty.
Save luggage space by stuffing your mug with small items, scarves, ties, or a teeny bikini.
No travel mug? Thrift shops carry tons, and at less than a dollar, they're cheaper than $10-15 on the boat.

text: So Dawn and Brock had that TV special, anyone think they will have more? I'm dying to see more adventures of Dawn, I find it unfair that the writers let us grow to a character and then ditch them for new ones. Dawn was fine, there was no need for her to leave, I hope she gets more specials, or a spin off series of her own, or pull a Brock, and when Ash goes to the filler saga after Unova, Dawn rejoins.
