Annmarie Fertoli, Associate Producer, WNYC News
Annmarie Fertoli is an Associate Producer at WNYC, working with the afternoon news team to produce All Things Considered.
When the power first went out last Monday in parts of my neighborhood, Floral Park, my parents and I hoped it'd be back on in a matter of hours. But the wait turned into days, and cold nights. So I had to spend much of the day at my aunt's, working, before coming home to a cold house in the evening.
We lit lots of candles, and used a small kerosene heater for warmth.
Luckily, I had friends who could offer some space. And then, our power came back on Tuesday night. But other residents in my community, and nearby areas, are still in the dark. My father and I drove around Wednesday to see where the power's still out, and how people are doing without the light, or the heat.
I met Ron Vincenzi, from neighboring Franklin Square, at a local supermarket.
"Terrible," he said, when I asked him how life's been. "I've been running to Queens sleeping by my 94-year-old aunt's house to stay warm at night. It's atrocious….I threw out tons of food, and it's horrendous, it really is horrendous."
Vincenzi has been driving back and forth between Woodhaven, Queens and Franklin Square to check on his house each day. He said he's also concerned about getting gas, and is hopeful the lights will be back on soon.
Next, we drove another town over, to Mineola, where I met Ed Karbiner, from New Hyde Park, at a bakery with his wife. He says he's living with uncertainty, not knowing when his power will come back. He told me his block suffered heavy damage during the storm, and said he hasn't received an estimate as to when his power will be restored.
"It's a mess because the poles all went down, and we had a big tree that came down at the end of the block and it pulled down with it, you know, about three or four individual poles," he said. "And the transformer and the pole is just laying in our backyard."
In the meantime, he said he's surviving with the help of a generator. He also stayed upstate, with his son who had power, over the weekend.
Karbiner said it could have been worse, and that was a sentiment echoed by a couple of Long Islanders I spoke with. Richard Scrima, from Lynbrook, was working on his laptop at the bakery. He told me he feels lucky.
"We've been in the house since 1999, the longest we have been without power was two hours. So now, ten days is significant, so it certainly makes you appreciate when you have power, when you're able to go into your refrigerator and have food, turn on your TV, and just the general conveniences of we've all become used to."
I feel lucky, too. Many times this week, my father's said we're suffering minor inconveniences, while others on our little island have lost so much. I certainly agree; compared to the damage Sandy's wrought elsewhere, several days in the dark isn't so bad at all.

By comparison, a US court ordered Jammie Thomas-Rasset to pay $1.5 million in damages in 2010 for illegally sharing 24 songs, or an absurd $62,500 per file. In a lesser-known case, Joel Tenenbaum was slammed with a fee of $67,500 for sharing 31 songs, and that sum was reduced from the jury's damage assessment of $675,000.
It's said that the Swedish judge initially requested the unnamed man pay around $45 per song which would have worked out to roughly $1,980, but that was eventually lowered. "Swedish courts may be slowly coming to their senses regarding non-commercial violations of the copyright monopoly," said Pirate Party founder Rick Falkvinge.
"The verdict is in stark contrast to the political verdict in the Pirate Bay trial, where four people were sentenced to long prison sentences and paying 3,500,000 for merely aiding in possibly sharing 33 works," he continued. Do you think Sweden's ruling will set precedence for future filesharing cases across Europe and the US?

Well, the US Government sure does like to get its share of people's money. I think its good that Sweden was reasonable, but at the same time, people need to realize that just because its cheap and easy, doesn't mean that it's okay. People should learn that without supporting the manufacturing company they will never provide updates or new content.
If you come to think about it, $311 - the paperwork - the salary of the people who were at the court - services like water/energy/food, who won?
I think that staving the guy i hate will give me less time in jail and tickets than getting cough downloading illegal media, wich totally makes sense.
That's much more reasonable. Since you aren't actually stealing any physical medium, I would argue that even $7 is too much, but it is progress

The thing is it will just lead to nobody being prosecuted. The courts didn't win here. The only people who won were the lawyers and their wallets. That's if there were even lawyers involved over something like file sharing.
Is there a coin between the share and caps lock key?
Lesson learned? Leech, don't share.
hello ...
with new technology & new laws, it is better to go for single track purchase off of those hundreds of online store than even be fined that price & having a criminal record.
well i admit that the US court overcharge people, the truth about downloading / sharing is that it cost more in the end, when you consider the risk / electricity cost / Internet cost / time & bandwidth.
there is no such thing as anonymity on the net, how hard you may try...
This makes a lot sense then slapping a million dollar fine on a poor guy.

Holy crap I think there is!!!
But yea seriously that is a more reasonable fine for someone that is a common joe. Unlike the US were they seem to fine people into bankruptcy. Poor big corporations can't stand to lose a penny.
I wish some one would steal my work so I can sue them $62,500 per file!
Draconian much?
Music should be free or VERY cheap. Let the artist make their money from concerts, promotionals and other remunerations.. This way we save money by cutting out the money hungry jerks who own record companies (who in the past have stolen millions from artist who did not peruse their contracts.). Prince separating from WB and setting up hiss own company ( http://www.paisleyparkstudios.com/archive/) should have been the start of a musical revolution.
I can tell you (from the inside) that some Swedes are going nuts over this. Nobody really expected anybody of being fined for illegal sharing, as the IPRED system in Sweden really did not work out as well as previously hoped for. The file-sharing community in Sweden quickly adapted to the government's instated systems designed to track pirates down - this by developing some nifty programs designed to throw the governmental digital surveillance systems off the trace completely.
By the way, 2000 SEK actually equals to 301$ as of today (2-23-11), or 6,85$ per song. Not very different from the 311$ previously stated, but 10$ will get you something yummy to eat once your done with the fine :P
Staffjetkami said:
Music should be free or VERY cheap.
I disagree. It *shouldn't* be anything.
It *may* be free, it *may* be cheap but artists should be able to make money on their music as well (if they want) -- and yes -- even the people in the middle deserve their share.
I guarantee big label music has insane profit margins and I don't have any delusions regarding the trivial cost of a CD or even more irrelevant cost of bandwidth for digital music... But....
You are really paying for the *service*. An album or songs you like will be something that you may listen to for years, many times over. For that, ~$1 per song is actually a fair value. In terms of a time where many of us pay +$10 for an hour or two of entertainment (movies, concerts, sports games, shows, mini golf etc..) $11-$15 for a disc that may entertain you for years is pretty darn good.
And of course, music is art. Art is usually thought of to be a labor of love and (I hope) it often is. If those talented individuals only care about the process and the product and don't want the cash, then they are free to give it away as they please. But they have ever right to be (most certainly reimbursed or even profit from it if they choose so.
As far as the fines go, that is much more reasonable and far more representative of actual damages in many cases, I'm sure. Law suits for tens of thousands of dollars per song should really be limited to those to those who profiteer on the distribution of pirated music. Copyright laws are there to protect creators and their works, not punish people with little ill-intent into financial oblivion for 30 years.
I second and third what Rick said - very strongly. No way you should expect music to be free or VERY cheap. It's their job - would you want your labor to be free?
The thing I want to see is how much a recording company spends on a single album. You gotta think about how much time they put into recording, how much electricity was used, how it cost to edit the tracks and put in different effects (VERY time consuming) and then how much it costs them to have the music taken to get put on millions of CDs, how much the paper cost to put labels on the CDs and how it cost to put album art (oh, there's another cost) in the CD case. A lot of time and money go into making music. It takes more than a few minutes to record one song, and it takes months to record a whole CD. So a LOT of money goes into the music we listen to. People do a lot of hard work on it. So free is out of the question. You wouldn't do what those people do in the recording booth for free would you?
Now when it comes to the lawsuit, you have all the paperwork and lawyers that have to be paid. The way I see it, charge $1.50 for each song illegally obtained, and then tack on the legal fees. I find that to be a fair judgment. The person learns their lesson, plus they don't go into debt/bankruptcy unless they have thousands (or just hundreds depending on how much you make) of songs they illegally downloaded. And the price and fees should not change depending on how many songs you have. Keep it at $1.50 per song, plus the total legal fees.
That's way more reasonable than the impossible amounts they've been setting in the past. I remember this article of a single mother in Minnesota charged $220,000 before legal fee's for sharing 24 files. It's like oh hey we're gonna cripple you're financial life because you downloaded some music... Pure scum.
Don't associate the amount a judge awards with what actually gets paid. All those extraordinary amounts really just mean the person filed for bankruptcy, 50,000 or 25 million, as soon as it's more than you can pay it's all the same.
I think some comments are wrong about CD costs... have you ever really listened close to a pop album released recently. (not rock, but pop specifically). You'll notice how much more 'full' the song that's on the radio sounds than the filler tunes on the disc. Listen to a Kesha song, or Black Eyed Peas, or Lady Ga Ga... those songs are produced to the teeth. There are big name producers mixing those sounds, beats, over dubs and other fancy things I don't know the names of. This isn't 4 guys in a studio playing together, it's more like a movie with CG effects. More post production than singing and playing.
Point is... i'll bet those people get paid a LOT, and it takes a long time. I don't know what it costs to make a song, but i'll bet it's a lot, all with the risk that it may not be that big a hit.
How about they let people in each country vote on the punishment. We can call this voting system a democracy.
I think a reasonable amount would be $2 per song downloaded and $20 each time it was uploaded from your computer. So if you downloaded 20 songs it'd be $40 and if you shared those files three times each it'd be another $1200. This might make more people stop sharing after they've finished downloading which would also help their cause and also targets the people who are spreading the pirated music. An additional fee of $200 per song could be applied to those who created the torrent.
You forgot the cost of making 'singers' like Britney actually sound in tune / key...

The second day of the eco sewage and sanitation course was on sewage treatment. My advice for anyone taking this course next year is, don't get drunk the night before!! The friday night party feeling took over me and I spent the entire Saturday with a hangover, you guessed it, looking at shit (all self-inflicted of course).
Nevertheless I still managed to concentrate (I think) and gain an understanding that actually sewage treatment really can be life and death and is something that needs to be taken seriously. There's all sorts of nasties – pathogens, viruses and so forth as wells as eutrophication causing nutrient overloads. Other environmental impacts of sewage include storm sewage overflows (which if you ever go surfing in Cornwall you will know about – the day after the storm its like tampon city in the atlantic ocean).
There's all sorts of ways of measuring the quality of effluent so you know how clean it really needs to be, such as turbidity (suspended solids – lovely phrase), odour measuring ammonia and biotic classifications, which measure the biology of the water (as certain organisms live in dirty water etc.)
I never knew how much food waste contributes to excess nutrients in the water ways, as a vegan I get quite used to blaming animal farmers on things like that but now I know to scrape my plate before washing up that's for sure!
Things to think about if you want to set up an independent sewage treatment system:
- money
- physical aspects e.g. land area, soils, water table, levels, discharge point
- client acceptability – how proactive do they have to be?
- regulations – there's all sorts to consider such as pipework requirements and gradients, do your research!
Primary treatment
This removes suspended soils from water (which can be prevented with the compost loo of course) otherwise main systems include septic tanks and aquatron separators (which are the business!). These things separate out the urine and let the solids fall down to be composted, and they're pretty exciting to look at if you're a sanitation junkie like Judith. There's all sorts of other elements to consider however like floating crusts, sinking solids, sludge management… can you see how this was difficult with a hangover?
Secondary treatment
The aim of secondary treatment is to treat liquids to a discharge standard. Similar factors influence this also, such as soil porosity, the height of the water table, cost and effluent quality requirements and so forth.
Options include systems that filter, such as leachfields and soakaways, drainage bounds, wetlands and so forth, otherwise there are package treatment plans, trench arches, anaerobic digestion and pond systems.
Filters are vital to mechanically remove solids but also to create a cosy place to live for microorganisms (biofilms – sounds like a german organic soya yoghurt or something!). We explored each of the above in turn which have their own advantages and disadvantages.
We also explored the degree of centralisation within systems, for example do we really need to design off-grid sewage systems for single households or should design them on a community level? Judith recommends mains sewage if you have the option, however with new developments regularly, especially low impact developments, it is useful to have an understanding of the alternatives to the mains.

High-Strung: Performances in A Late Quartet Are Worthy of Standing Ovation, But Story Tends To Play a Little Sharp
In A Late Quartet, a somber, moody and uneven film about chamber music and the dedicated professional musicians who devote their lives to playing it, Christopher Walken takes some getting used to as a renowned cellist with Parkinson's disease who is forced begrudgingly to end his career as leader of one of the world's most celebrated string quartets. A far cry from the lurid and sloppy addicts, psychopaths and serial killers he usually plays as though walking in his sleep, it's not the kind of role I would personally think of as perfect casting for him. Also, the movie is too slow, highbrow and sophisticated to draw the youth market that loves to see Mr. Walken play violent and stoned in trash like Seven Psychopaths. But playing the cello is such a pleasant change of pace that he eventually grows on you, scene by scene, proving for the first time since his role as Leonardo DiCaprio's troubled father 10 years ago in Catch Me If You Can, that he really can act. He—along with the rest of the elegant cast—keeps A Late Quartet in tune when it threatens to go flat. Read More

Cal Poly v UCLA with Playoffs on the Line |
Colleges - Men's DI College |
Cal Poyl is still in with a chance, as a victory over UCLA gives them a shot should they win against Central Washington next week. Senior Cal Poly prop Aaron Bordenave says his team's 45-12 win over UC Davis was nice, but not perfect. "It was obvious at halftime last week that we weren't as mentally prepared as we should've been going into the match," said Bordenave. "We've simply got play every D1-A match as if it was for the championship, and that's about playing 80 minutes of rugby." UCLA has essentially the same lineup that beat Central Washington 26-23 last week, including wing Martial Chaput, who scored twice, while Coach David Burnett returns the Cal Poly starting 15 that beat Davis.

Lines at Jefferson Middle School have shot out the door and down the sidewalk. The Student Union Building voting site on UNM campus has lines an hour or so long. Bernalillo County Clerk Maggie Toulouse Oliver tweets that waits are longer than 30 minutes at Rio Bravo, Siesta Hills, Van Buren, Del Norte, McKinely, Cibola and Hayes. But the wait is less than 15 minutes at Downtown sites, including Washington Middle School and the Clerk's Annex. Scope a map of polling locations and wait times. You can vote at any one of 69 convenience centers.
3309 Pershing Street SE
Just talked to someone who said it's like five minutes. That's not far from UNM.
I'm at Jefferson Middle School right now. Lesson learned. XD
...and there was a pretty massive line. So, I used Marisa's Bandelier tip. Only waited in line 15 minutes and it was a very pleasant wait, chatting with other voters. :)
Was there a problem with the precinct system? Calling them "convenience centers" does not make having to drive a extra mile and a half (instead of walking 2 blocks) and wait in line for an hour "convenient."
And don't give me any crap about it being a small price to pay for the privilege. In the previous 15 years of voting in Albuquerque I never had to wait in a line longer than 3 people. It made me want to vote against Maggie Toulouse, but no one was running against her.

Poured into my 16 oz wide Flying Dog tulip glass. Pours light brown, with a two inch white head that settles very quickly into a film of bubbles.
Smell is fig, brown sugar, vanilla, molasses, and rum soaked raisins.
Taste fallows the nose very well, fig stands out most to me, fairly sweet.
Body is less than medium, wish it had more life, a little dry, and goes down easy enough for its abv.
I was a little underwhelmed, especially with the rave reviews.

The name suggests this is not a brew to fool around with. So I'm taking it seriously. But then with good beer, I usually do.
Poured from the 16.9 oz. bottle into a Samuel Smith English tulip pint.
a: Clear copper with an inch and a half tall offwhite head which receded slowly to even surface foam and dense lacing.
s: Caramel malt with a tinge of ripe fruit. Later a definite mustiness adds some sense of venerable age to the aroma.
t: Caramel malt forward followed by some bite and ripe apple. Bitterness lingers at the sides of the tongue. Later what seems like a slight mustiness adds more appealing flavor.
m: Moderate. Good body,
o; Can easily imgine myself sitting in a Scottish pub along the north coast and sipping this with a meat pie while the sun refuses to set at 10 P.M. Not so skull splitting so far, but 17 ounces at 8.5 ABV will kick in soon enough I'm sure. In the meantime I'm soberly enjoying this sweet treat. It would surely be one of my favorite regulars if it was not $6 a bottle.

3.41/5 rDev -16.4%
look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 3.25 | overall: 3.25
Appearance- Pours up a decent amount of head that seems to have okay retention. The head is a light beige with hints of tan while the body is a murky chestnut brown that appears as a dark amber with hints of maroon when held up to the light. Some lacing here and there.
Nose- This definitely has some presence. Big brown bread with lots of raisins. So much malty sweetness that it easily turns to notions of fruitcake, even rum cake. Slight suggestions of cough syrup but in a good way. Some burnt caramel. Some banana and a nice, warming tickle from the slight booze. The nose from the glass seems to concentrate more on the fruity flavors (it's a bit fleshier- think plums) than on the malt characters. Much smoother but less complex than from the bottle. Lots of candy notes from the glass.
Taste- Lots of malt sweetness on the front which can be candy-like at times. Some woodiness from the hops on the finish along with the burnt caramel and slight booze give this beer a somewhat astringent taste on the back end. Some currants. Some cherry but also light licorice. I really wish that it expressed more of the nose and perhaps, with some time, it will. Some vinosity and generic grape flavors (more like soda than actual grapes). Slight woodiness, a touch of oak. Slight spice of cinnamon and nutmeg. Some harsh berry notes. Slight bubblegum. Slight earthy and herbal qualities to the linger. The sweetness tends toward cloying and really makes it hard for me to think of this beer as anything more than just above average. This is very unfortunate for a Scotch ale, especially a highly regarded one. Reminds me somewhat of a quadrupel. Some brown sugar and molasses but nothing that provides it a backbone.
Mouthfeel- A little less than medium bodied with a good amount of syrup to the texture. Good amount of carbonation with a good, healthy zing. Adequate.
Drinkability- It's a little sweet. That might be a great thing for some but honestly I'm glad this is only 330 mL. Not sure on the price but I don't think it matters (at least to me). Not a repurchase.
Overall- I can see how this could be enjoyable to some but it just doesn't work for me, especially compared to the many good Scotch ales out there. Just above average. Worth a try if you understand that it has a lot of candy notes to it. But if you are expecting a more traditional Scotch ale, I would pass.

Poured from a 11.2oz bottle into a snifter. Bottle artwork is pretty cool with the roguish Viking warrior-king Thorfinn Hauskaluif - the Skull Splitter.
A: Dark brown, lets some light through. Nice two finger tan head, rapidly diminished to a pretty heft ring around the glass that extended onto the surface of the beer. Nice lacing. Lots of initial carbonation release but slows quickly.
S: This is some seriously boozy beer. The alcohol is on the nose immediately with caramel, and ripened dark fruit. Some say they can detect the hops, I couldn't.
T: This is scotch ale, sweet and boozy, with a buttery malt note. The caramel flavors are pronounced and dominate, but are nicely balanced with notes of raisin and dried dates, a detectable flavor of alcohol, and some hop leaf.
M: The mouthfeel on this beer is soft and creamy, but chewy...compare to a caramel chew. After airing for about 10 minutes, the carbonation tones down and nicely complements to the mouthfeel.
O: This is not a fast drinking beer, and definitely not one you drink more than one of in a session. It is warming; good for a cold winter night. I rated it on the basis of the characteristics, but this is probably never going to be a favorite.

Ill be fair: I'm comparing this beer a lot to my own home-brewed scottish heavy...so..yea...not sure if that makes it biased or not. But it is in fact a thing!
appearance: My own beer does do something wrong: it has way too much color. It comes off far more brown than it should, and this brew does it right in my opinion. It has the color of pale malt syrup, with virtually no head (remember, alcohol kill head!). I think that this brew requires close to a perfect score in appearance. 4.55
Smell: really, I'm sorry to say, not much here. A bit of alcohol sweetness and Scottish (what, that's the only way to describe it) fits in as well. Its OK, but id hope for more. 35
Taste: I was kinda worried about my own Scottish ale. It tasted kinda hot, and I assumed that it was because it was very young (kegged about 2 weeks ago). This stuff makes me feel that its going to be a great Scottish ale. This stuff has huge amount of "warmth" ot it, which I would really call "booz" (tomato to tommato correct?). It has the same kind of sweetness that comes with such "warmth. That is pretty much the scope of flavor that this brew has. I'm not sure, I guess that I give it a 2.255
Mouthfeel: The beer has a oddly light mouthfeel, probably dried out via the use of brewing sugars. It is balanced out by a decent level of snappy carbonation. 45
overall: I think I was expecting more from this one. seriously. With a name like that, you expect greatness. but its just a bit above average. It comes off WAY too hot and sweet, but its not offensive so..ehh. its just ok. I suppose its worth having once to make up your own mind about the stuff (or to get the bottle, which DOES look cool), but really, its not worth a 4 pack or really trying again. 2.255
Overall a disappointment. Looking forward to when my own scotch ale matures up in about 2-5 weeks. Hopefully that will scratch my scotch ale itch

11.2 oz bottle. Poured into stemless wine glass.
A - Poured with very little head, dark mahogony color, but very clear.
S- Fruity esters from yeast, mixed with a bit of boozyness/smoky nose.
T- Sweet, fruity. Crystal malts play with the yeast very well and linger on the palette, but isn't syrupy or cloyingly sweet. Definite boozyness, touch of smoke, maybe some licorice notes.
M- I feel as if the beer is fairly dry for being what it is. Cleans up nice at the finish, but leaves the flavor lingering on the tongue for quite some time.
O- Haven't had many commercial examples of Scotch Ale (maybe 4?) but this is definitely my favorite. A nice change of pace to visit this in the american landscape of hoppy beers all over.

Pours a beautiful copper brown that's deep enough to show off gold hues as it seems to capture the light. A fat tan head of foam that fell pretty fast and left only a ring behind. Soapy wet lace slide down the glass with each tip.
Nose is smooth, deep, rich malt. Buttery caramel. A ripe fruit that at first seems like raisin but then dates. It has a light grapey sweetness that is completely enticing. No alcohol on the nose.
taste is surprisingly light. There is rich ribbons of buttery caramel. Leafy hops and a dark fruit sweetness that is hard to pin down. Not terribly complex but so smooth and delicious. With a name like skull splitter you are expecting spikes. This is smooth as silk and drinks very easily. Leaves a touch of hop spice at the back of the throat with some warming alcohol to linger a long time.
You could sit and sip this beer all day. Smooth, engaging with a fullish mouthfeel that finishes dry and with a lingering malty sweetness.

From: Binny's, Schaumburg, IL
Date: "BBE Apr 16 L3114 15:57" on bottle
Glass: Tulip
Orkney's Skull Splitter is an interesting blend of malt (caramel and cocoa flavors) and yeast (anise, grape esters) that is similar to a Belgian Strong Dark ale, but decidedly not so based upon the yeast usage and overall aromatic and flavor palette. Enjoyable, but at $4 per bottle, for my heavy malt-forward beers, I'd probably stick to Scottish ales and German bocks.
Pours a 0.5cm tall head of beige-colored foam, made up of small-sized bubbles for a frothy appearance, with retention of average length at about one minute. The foam fades to a thin ring around the glass with a very small island of residual lace atop the body of the beer; lacing on the glass is minimal, a few dots cling to the walls of it. Beer's body is a dark amber-orange color, with light bringing out medium-dark amber orange colors. Carbonation visible through the transparent body, moderate in number and low in activity.
Aroma is complex and of no clear reference. My best metaphors are that the beer has the scent of anise, tea leaf tannins, cream, super-smooth cocoa, moderate-intensity caramel, grapes, and subtle ethanol.
Taste is somewhat like a blend between a Scottish ale and a Belgian Strong Dark ale, notable anise and ethanol combined with dark caramel-like sweetness, grape esters, and a touch of cocoa and cream. Front of palate tastes dark caramel-like sweetness, super-smooth cocoa, anise, ethanol, grape esters. Mid-palate of intensified dark caramel-like sweetness, anise, ethanol, and grape esters, with a bit more emphasis on the caramel-like sweetness relative to anything else, differentiating it from the BDSA. Back of palate is ot toasted bread crusts, rich and syrupy caramel, smooth cocoa, anise, and ethanol. Aftertaste of moderately dark caramel, anise, slight char, and mild ethanol.
Beer is medium to medium-light in body, with carbonation of medium intensity, resulting in a beer that is lightly foamy (2/5) and otherwise smooth (3/5) on the palate. Ethanol is extremely well-hidden, with only a hint of heat in the nostrils and burn on the tongue and throat. Closes dry, with heavy stickiness clinging to the palate and lips.

Sampled last night on 1/13/14. 330ml (11.2 oz.) bottle was chilled down to 36 degrees F in my beer cooler and poured into a brandy snifter.
Pours a pretty brown amber in color with a small 1/2+ finger creamy off white head. Lacing formed rings around the glass when sipped actually. The aroma is of sweet caramel, dark fruits with a hint of chocolate and oak. The taste is even better! Wow! Very pleasant and goes down easy. Lots of great flavors coming through. Perfect carbonation. NO harsh or bitter aftertaste at all. Quite surprised on this one! Overall, I would drink this one over and over again. Very tasty and first time I had this type!

I like this for my first foray into a Scotch Ale / Wee heavies. I found it to be flavorful and boozy, but the head doesn't last as long as I'd have liked and it's by no means creamy as some reviewers stated, but perhaps it's because it's from a bottle? A nice cold-weather sipping ale, would be wonderful with a bowl of chili and cornbread or a Sunday roast beef dinner. I could see this at table replacing a bottle of Merlot, as it has a depth and character that would carry quite well with a hearty and seasoned meal. By itself it's also fine, but I think it'd be better with food. The label graphics and where it's brewed drew me to try it. I would definitely buy it again as I enjoy a rich, low-hops, flavorful ale.

Let me paint you a picture. Silence all around you. You sit down after a long day of work, you pop one of these open, and before you finish that first swallow, all you hear in your head are the opening chords to Led Zeppelin's "Rock n Roll." And I am pretty sure that's what the Viking on the bottle intended. Its not too dark, its not too bitter, and yet it doesn't totally abandon those characteristics either. Its a solid choice for any beer drinking purpose whether that be food accompaniment, thirst, social outing, or relaxation. Skull Splitter is a take you away from every day monotony kind of beer. This beer lets you know its quitting time, so if you have one on your lunch break…ummm…you should probably take a half day and not go back to work. Imagine the Vikings celebrating after a conquest with this beer. You have your own celebrations to commemorate, and this will pair nicely with them.

Soft, barely cloudy, brown-amber body with a thin head; foam lacing and rings present. Muted, heavy sweetness to the aroma; esters; caramel; ripe, dark, fermented fruits. Taste comes across much like the smell with an additional boozy note. Relatively weak mouthfeel; semi-dry.
A decent tasting wee heavy yet comes across rather weak overall. Sure, there's the malts flavors and a fair enough presence of alcohol warmth, yet the beer seems rather watered down and lacking in character and depth for a Scotch ale. Certainly not bad overall, but I can't imagine why a beer with such a great name doesn't quite live up to its bold, brutish name.

Skull Splitter pours a clear dark amber with a small, creamy head on top. The foam fades slowly leaving behind a few spots of lace on the glass.
The aroma is malty with pleasant notes of caramel, dark grapes, light chocolate and oak.
Each sip of this medium bodied beer is creamy with light carbonation. The flavor is malty with nice caramel notes, along with fruit (dark grape), toffee, vanilla and oak. Once gone the oak and caramel notes linger on the palate.
A great tasting, easy drinking wee heavy. I've got to get this beer more often.

Pours dark brown/copper, almost no fizz, small head, nice retention.
Smells of caramel, light chocolate, dark fruit, berries, red grapes, vanilla and light nuts.
Taste is really complex. Expected a big chocolate malty front, but instead it was really really fruity. Initial figs and plums, followed by tart red cherries, red apples, musty red grapes and quite a lot of citrus. Malts follows in the back, with not as much caramel, but with some mild roastiness and low dark chocolate notes. Not as spicy as expected either, the vanilla from the smell hiding way in the back. Nuts are clearer though, along with some earthy notes. Hop presence is nice and bitter in the finish, with a green-leafy feel.
The beer is almost creamy, with a very low carbonation that helps the booze mingle with the fruitiness, giving off a taste of brandy/cognac.
A perfect scotch ale that doesn't exaggerate with the malts and instead really focuses on the balance between alcohol and rich fruitiness. Really great.

I really looked forward to trying Skull Splitter as I really enjoy Scotch Ales. It had a wonderful appearance in my crystal beer mug with a beautiful tan head over a beautiful brownish nutty appearance. It tasted very good with fruity undertones, it could have used a little more bitter for my tastes as something seemed missing. It was a very good beer that I would buy again though.

Pours a murky brown color with burnt orange highlights--rather akin to dirty pond water--with a modest head of beige foam that soon settles into a veil of frogspawn. Active carbonation can be observed streaming to the surface. Aroma smells of caramel, molasses, grape skin, and a mild, vague spiciness.
The flavor tastes of muscato and caramel on the front end, followed by a dash of peppery hops and booze. There's also a layer of golden delicious apple akin to what one might find in a Munich-style lager. I'm not quite sure what to make of it, as the melange is highly unusual, but not as messy as it sounds on paper. It's safe to say that "complex" would be an apt descriptor. It delivers a fruity tartness to the back of the tongue that I rather enjoy, though I would never have expected to find it in a Scotch ale. The alcohol, while present in the taste, is more subdued than its ABV would suggest and serves to bolster the spicier aspects while tempering the sweetness. The mouthfeel is smooth and semi-creamy, though I could do with a bit more body from a beer this flavorful and complex.
On the whole, Skull Splitter is a chimaera, a complex and fascinating brew that makes me reconsider what I thought I knew about Scotch ales. It's sweet, fruity, warm, light, and spicy to varying degrees at varying moments, but always engaging. In spite of it's initially confounding originality, renewed acquaintance reveals it to be an enjoyable adventure for your taste buds that ceases much sooner than one might expect for a beer of its gravity.

This beer smells a lot like wine. It gives off a strong fruity aroma. The taste reminds me of apples or grapes. It's a little boozy, the alcohol taste could be covered up a little better.

When I first poured the Skull Splitter into my glass it was a very pleasing dark maple color. It felt perfect for fall and the changing leaves outside. There was minimal head, and what head there was dissipated quickly. There was a visible bubbling like a sparkling ale that remained.
The sniff test told me that right away this was a strong brew. The forefront of everything was that burning alcohol smell - like nail polish remover but more pleasant. Once that got past my nose, the next thing I noted was a toasty smell. It was something nutty or caramel-y. Almost a warm fresh toffee smell to the beer.
In the mouth, the beer felt sticky. Not in an unpleasant way, but the liquid seemed to linger a bit after I swallowed, There was that bite of alcohol right away, but that dissolved into an almost effervescent feel.
Overall, this beer is one to sip on around a fire with your sweetie, I feel. It is warming and toasted, which bring on memories of mild fall days raking leaves. The caramel and toffee notes actually stuck around on the pallet for a really smooth after taste, which I much appreciated. The beer itself was much lighter than i expected it to be.

With a name like "Skull Splitter" implying that either I will go out and split some skulls or this brew will give me a skull splitting hangover tomorrow, how could I say 'no' to drinking this beer? I can't, the urge to split skulls or to suffer a terrible hangover is too unbearable to miss. And with that your humble reviewer purchased a bottle of this fine Scottish brew.
Poured from a 330ml bottle into a nonic pint.
A: With a deep clear mahogany body and a light tan lacing this magnificent hangover-waiting-to-happen presents itself well.
S: There is a boozy brandy note that dominates the aroma which also contains; caramel malts, candied plum and hint of herbal hops in the distant background.
T: Smooth luscious flavours of brandy, malt, dark fruits and that faint herbal hop note combine in a dangerously sublime fashion. Not too sugary, not too boozy and not too malty - I want to drink this until I get that skull splitting hangover. There is nothing bad about the flavour balance, everything works, the planets have aligned, and I am in Beervana.
M: Smooth but heavy bodied, with some slick resin characters and a light carbonation.
D: Really, really impressed by this wee heavy. It's not a style I've had much experience with but it's something I will partake in more often now. This style seems to encapsulate the essence of Belgian brewing with the flavours of England/Scotland. And might I add I am feeling a little bit toasted now, that pleasant warm feeling you get from a glass of whiskey that tells me that my digestive system is breaking down the ethanol into acetaldehyde, and I'm going along for that ride. Skull Splitter I salute thee!
Food match: Roasted chicken with a side of roasted vegetables or roasted turkey, this is a beer that suits a festive occasion.

The best body scrub ever. I have dryish skin which will get a little oily. This scrub leaves my skin feeling smooth, clean, soft, and keeps the oilies away. Don't wait to try it! The scrub is a little rough but it is not scratchy.
It rinses well and does not leave your skin oily or slick despite what the product name may convey, hope people don't get the impression that they are slathering butter over their body.
The product seems very little quantity for a body scrub so I do have to spread it around quite carefully as I don't want to waste it. Try to leave the scrub on for a little while more so that the cocoa butter has time to sink into your skin.
It is a little expensive, but for the great results, I do not mind the price.
Also, try to buy during sales, TBS do give good sales, especially during end March/April period when there is the Earth Day period.
Don't like the packaging much, will prefer a squeeze tube. Using a container is very fiddley and water may get in especially for a bath product.
Will definitely buy again - Holy grail.

First off, I want to say...I LOVE THIS!!! This makes my skin so unbelieveably soft and it helps with the bumps I have on my legs and arms. It also acts kind of like a soap because it removes not only the dead skin cells but the dirt from your skin. Plus, even though the product is expensive, you only need a tiny amount in order to exfoliate areas of your body. Also, the scent is lovely, it smells like a combination of both cocoa butter and chocolate in one. But going on to the packaging....this does pool in water...and if you drop it...you will lose product. But I would definitely recommend anyone interested to check this out, it's worth it :D.

My favourite product from TBS. I use it once a week and my skin gets clean as a whistle and soft and moisturized to boot. Plus, the smell! Some people don't like it though, so try it first at the shop.
this is the first body scrub i ever used, and i am sooooo pleased with it, that i don't want to change it! ti contains powdered almond cernels, so they don't dissolve while you massage. for this reason, a little goes a long way. this product has saved me from ingrown hairs (i recently started waxing instead of shaving). the smell is great as well. it has the discreet buttery smell of the matching body butter, plus a slight bitter smell from the almond cernels. amazingly good... very expensive, but worth it.
If you're looking for a more intense scrub than the traditional drugstore apricot ones, this is for you. Use your hands to rub into your body in circles, and you will be left smoother and sweet smelling. Don't even try it on your face. Wish it came in a squeeze or pump, but I understand that either might clog with the bigger granuals in this scrub. However the twist off top is really annoying and I hate getting water in the container as I'm trying to open it in the shower.

I love this scrub, and the smell of it makes me want to dip my finger in it and eat it lol. It is better than the sugar based scrubs because it doesn't melt in contact with water. Leaves my skin so smooth! I use it with TBS exfoliating gloves twice a week. BUY IT!
beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!
i've used body scrubs that film an oily film aftershower, it totally made me feel grimy in humid singapore. so im sceptical of bodyscrubs. the reviews of this cocoa butter body scrub, made me went all-out on TBS frenzy (20% off storewide! dec 2010) back to the product, it reminds me of st ives's apricot scrub in terms of granules size & consistency. the superior winning factor of this product, is the beautiful skin it left, so smooth & moisturised..it felt like a spa aftermath. all scrub, will scrub...but not all scrubs will leave a good skin after effects. glad i choose the right scrub. this is the perfect body scrub for all. smells mildly pleasant too...it puts me in a good mood thruout the day..cos the skin just feels so good!

This is my all time favorite body scrub. I first tried it when I was pregnant...overly scented products made me nauseous and I didn't want a salt or sugar based scrub that would make my shower slippery. Saw the positive reviews here, and I can see why this gets such awesome reviews...it works really, really well -- got rid of my upper arm bumps and left my skin feeling smooth and moisturized. It's got a faint cocoa butter scent that is pleasant and not overpowering.The screw top tub isn't ideal for the shower, but I'm willing to deal with it since I love the product.

An accident at a West Campus construction site sent three people to the hospital Wednesday afternoon.
According to Austin-Travis County EMS, three workers fell about 10 feet from a construction site at the intersection of 24th and Nueces streets. One suffered a head injury. The other two were transported to University Medical Center Brackenridge with injuries not expected to be life threatening.
The crews were working on a building intended to be used for student housing.
EMS officials said construction at the site stopped while the construction company conducted an investigation.

Sponsoring a child in the developing world is a hugely popular form of giving. Millions of donors are linked with millions of children thousands of miles away. But this form of aid has often sparked controversy. Over the years, many of the large sponsorship charities have revised the way they operate their child sponsorship schemes. There are now two very different approaches - that of regular donations to an individual child versus giving sponsorship money to community development.
Emily Buchanan visits Ghana to see what impact different models of child sponsorship have on the ground and explores some of the unexpected dilemmas they throw up.
How is the money used? Why do donors choose to give in this way? What are the advantages for charities of this form of fundraising? What are the ethical issues involved in managing the relationship between the donor and the child? And what do the children make of it all?
Producer Jane Ashley.

Whether pain is from a physical or a psychological cause or both, pain is REAL.
Take this assessment to better understand how your pain interferes with your daily activities and, most importantly, to get some ideas of how to minimize your pain and prevent it from coming back.

Prior Learning Assessment is a cost-effective and time saving approach to earning credits toward a college degree. The Vermont State Colleges offer students excellent and convenient options to request credit for college-level learning gained through work and training, military or community service, online or individual study. No matter which option is right for you, you can save time and money and graduate earlier by having your prior learning assessed for credit!
The VSC Office of External Programs provides five prior learning assessment options:
- Credit by Exam: Students at the Vermont State Colleges or members of the military can take C.L.E.P. or D.S.S.T. tests to receive three to six credits for specific subjects. Check www.clep.org or www.getcollegecredit.com for test subjects. Tests are administered at the prior learning assessment office in Montpelier. The testing fee is $ 135. Results are available immediately.
- Course Challenges: Community College of Vermont degree students can obtain credits by demonstrating their mastery of the course objectives of specific CCV courses. The course challenge fee is $ 200, much less than the course tuition. The process can be completed within 60 days or faster. Advisor permission is required.
- Assessment of Prior Learning (EDU 1240): This three-credit, semester-long course focuses on the creation of a portfolio that describes and documents students' prior learning in a variety of academic subject areas. Credit requests are not limited. The course is available at CCV centers and as a hybrid/online class. APL students pay only the three credit course tuition and a one-time assessment fee of $ 300. The portfolio review is completed the following semester. Awarded credits are free!
- Focused Portfolio Development (EDU 1225): This one credit course helps students to create a portfolio which describes and documents their prior learning in one specific academic subject area. The class meets six times. Students may request up to 16 credits in one academic field. The course is available at CCV centers or online. Students pay the one-credit tuition and a one-time $ 225 assessment fee. Focused portfolios are evaluated within 30 days. Awarded credits are free!
- Education and Training Evaluation Service: As a separate option, The Office of External Programs, by request, can evaluate organizational training programs for college credit equivalency. Interested organizations may contact the Office of External Programs for details on the cost and evaluation process of an E.T.E.S review. Students who wish to request an E.T.E.S. transcript should contact the organization where the training occurred and may email firstname.lastname@example.com if they do not have the contact information.
Ask a CCV Advisor, contact the Prior Learning Assessment (Office of External Programs) at 802-828-4064 or email@example.com, or attend a free information session. Information sessions are frequently offered either at CCV academic centers or through webinars.
APL/FPF Trancripts
Alumni of the Assessment of Prior Learning or Focused Portfolio programs should use this special request form to transfer those credits earned.
