thats only for people who dont frequent the forum much. like i said i probably knew the answers to half of the questions, so i would only need to find answers for 5 questions. 1 min/question. thats a long time. and if you had cheatsheets (it would only be smart to), then it should not even take that long. i am not sure if she had any help but i seriously doubt it. i mean if they wanted to rig it, they could have done it differently. and so what if she had an advantage cuz she knew the people who worked there, should we get pissed off at those who made cheatsheets cuz that gave them more of an advantage? sucks that this whole thing got her to leave, mega B seemed alright. i hope all the drama we have been having with the giveaways wont deter the seirra crew from future giveaways. keep up the good work guys, the forums are getting better and better. |

thanks Pete, the giveaways defiantly will continue, thanks to all your support. Each week you will have noticed that we experiment with new ways to host the giveaway, and in every instance all changes have come from user input. The original pin the tail on the donkey concept came about while trying to come up with a completely unbiased legitz winner. From there we advanced it so more active users benefit. Next week we are either going to incorporate the video games from our new game section (who ever gets high score, configure it so the game reports high score just like any video arcade game) or go back to the square game where you have to be online to win. The giveaways require a lot of extra effort from our already hard working instore and online staff. The result of the site today (personal product right ups, photo shopped picts of product , product videos, resort reports etc) are all direct results of our riders and skiers putting in a hard off-season. Now that the official first snow has fallen in Tahoe and the crisp air welcomes the new day, things have gotten a little crazy around here with product arriving and the internet exploding. The drama you speak of defiantly effects us, but it�s part of life when you create an environment like this. We feel/hope our users will be able to judge for themselves whether or not a user has their own personal agenda and will speak up for us. What we've built here comes from the heart of our riders and that�s important to remember when playing around on here. This company is rider owned and operated, there are NO advertisements on the site, yes we sell snowboards, but that's cause it's what we love and know. So when users question us they are not questioning a bunch of suits or computer geeks, they�re questioning snowboarders working to make the best site for snowboarding. We�ve got the entire Forum Snowboarding team in the store and on the site next week, so I have to figure out how to get a live cam feed set up so you guys can ask them live questions via the internet. Plus we want to stream you the THAT Forum movie. See you online! |

Some of you moderators should lock topics so things don't get out of
hand.. i don't mean to be a priss, but it's not good karma. Right or
wrong, this is a place for snowboarding enthusiasts.. not to debate
over who is right or wrong..
Though the top score does sound interesting, I think the best opportunity is to have the contest within an hour, say from 6pm-7pm.. Start a thread at that time and ask ppl to post "SUBMIT ME IN THE DRAWING"... after five minutes, close it.. those dedicated enough to wait around to post during that open door time frame, deserve to be put in a lottery and a winner will be picked from those waiting patiently.. that way it doesn't involve skill or knowledge, just fair random choosing. of course that doesn't answer the question of ppl creating multiple accounts and posting in the thread.. possibly have ppl pm their addresses to you or check by IP? Come to think of it, most online contests are handled by ppl registering and submitting their email/home addresses to a website, and one is chosen (all the while factoring the risk of having multiple submissions) |

You're probably right. I'm going on what I knew about the questions and answers (which was nothing). I'm all for the idea of taking notes, cheatsheets, ect.. but all I'm saying is that it was over really quick. I think the Sierra crew is doing an amazing job of running the giveaways and being creative with the ideas for winning too. I'm not trying to play the role of the bad guy. I just think it being over so quick was a little odd. But odd or not, she won... so, congrats to her. It was an impressive win. |

support my other idea of having a lottery ppl!!!! it's only fair and
i'm all about being impartial and giving everyone a chance, even those
who are new to the community.. just like the MegaMillions, ppl can be
putting $100+ everyday trying to win the lotto, and this one joe schmo
can decide to haphazardly put $1 in a $200 million jackpot and win
it... can't complain cause it's a lottery... random chance of winning
for all...

"I don't think there's anything terribly exciting about grilled scallops," chef Anne Burrell writes in her cookbook, Cook Like a Rock Star. "But I do think you can put them together with interesting ingredients and make them exciting."
Burrell, star of Chef Wanted on Food Network, does just that with this dish, which uses multiple portions of a watermelon, plus dandelion greens. Her tip for success? Make your pickles a few days in advance and keep them in the fridge.

If a kayak isn't for you, there's always a canoe. Here's what novices and infrequent paddlers should be thinking about before investing in a basic canoe suited for fishing and touring:
1. First, as with kayaks, evaluate the water in which you'll mainly use the canoe. Is it open water with grassy shorelines or shallow running rivers and streams choked with rock gardens? How will you transport the canoe? Are you going to have to do a lot of portaging to and from launches or around obstacles? How much stuff do you like to haul on your expeditions?
2. Stability rules. Get enough width to allow you to maneuver to fish, turn yourself around, and counter a dog or a child's unpredictable actions without tipping over or losing control.
3. Canoes can tip, and if there isn't enough "freeboard" height above the water they can swamp. Also, even without sinking, the more water that enters the canoe, the more difficult it is to handle. Some experts recommend up to 10 inches of height above the waterline with a normal load in the canoe. Fewer than 6 inches likely will cause problems.
4. Few people baby canoes. There's a reason many commercial canoe liveries have polyethylene canoes. Many people don't have the skills, especially in current, to avoid rocks, logjams and other things that'll bang hulls and scrape bottoms. Heavier-gauge aluminum or durable-yet-somewhat-flexible polyethylene canoes are the safer, lowest-maintenance bets. Kevlar is also a light and durable option. Some canoes have skid plates to guard against punctures.
5. Maneuverable canoes are vital when fishing. You need to be able to make that craft deftly turn by using a paddle at the stern. A canoe with a perfectly flat keel line along the bottom will have a tougher time turning than a canoe with a couple inches of "rocker" from the center toward bow and stern. Some plastic canoes can be too flat in the center.
6. Get a quality paddle that'll do the job without being oversized; otherwise you're doing a lot of extra weightlifting on any paddling trip.
7. If you have the opportunity, try before you buy. Talk with a knowledgeable salesperson and get the canoe on the water.

AKVIS Chameleon is an efficient tool for photo collage creation. It eliminates the tedium of selecting an object with a complicated shape for pasting into a new background. The software has three modes: montage, chameleon, and blend. Montage mode fades the irrelevant parts of an object into the background. Chameleon mode adjusts the inserted object to the target image's color range and smooths the object's borders. Blend mode both adjusts the color range and smooths the object's borders and also makes the object semi-transparent.
AKVIS Coloriage is a plug-in for colorizing B&W photos and replacing colors in color photos. It works equally well for coloring of portraits, landscapes, fashion,and still life. The skin, sky, verdure, and tree color patterns help users to select realistic colors for their picture.
AKVIS Decorator is a plug-in that allows you to change the surface of an object in a realistic manner. You can apply a snake skin to your car, turn a man into an alien, change a dress on a girl, convert a wooden table into a golden one, etc. It is compatible with Adobe Photoshop and Photoshop Elements, Corel Painter, Corel Photo-Paint, Paint Shop Pro, and Ulead PhotoImpact.
AKVIS LightShop helps you create various light effects in digital images. It can apply sparkles, reflections, glows, and much more. Hints are provided to help the user decide on the many complex parameters that can be adjusted to create a particular effect. Many preset effects can be applied.
AKVIS Noise Buster is a image editor plug-in for noise suppression on digital and scanned images. AKVIS Noise Buster reduces both luminance and chroma (color) noise on digital images without spoiling other aspects of the photo. The plug-in's window shows "before" and "after" images for instant preview and easy tweaking of the parameters. Separate setting areas for luminance and chroma noise allow you to deal with each kind of noise in the most efficient way. It is compatible with Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Corel (Jasc) Paint Shop pro, etc.
AKVIS SmartMask plug-in is an efficient selection tool. There are two pencils: blue and red. You draw a line with the blue pencil inside the object you want to select, and with the red pencil some lines outside the object to define the areas that should be cut out. The plugin offers three modes: Sharp, Soft, and Complex.
ASCIIMathML is a script that converts calculator-style ASCII math notation (and many LaTeX formulas) to Presentation MathML while your Web page loads. It works with HTML and XHTML files in Mozilla/Firefox/Netscape 7+ browsers, as well as in Internet Explorer 6 with MathPlayer. For example, the solutions for the equation 'ax^2+bx+c=0' are expressed in the HTML file as '(-b +- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac))/(2a)', and display as nicely formatted MathML. The script can be easily used in wikiservers and blogs, as a rudimentary MathML editor (with instant preview), and to preview math formulas as they are typed into a Web page input area.
Algoscore is a graphical environment for algorithmic composition, where music is constructed directly in an interactive graphical score. The result is output to MIDI and CSound. Graphical objects are placed in a timeline and connected together. Some objects are fully dependent on user data, while some are generative and reacts on input from other objects. It is highly customizable and extensible with the Nasal scripting language. It has a non-realtime perspective where the composer can relate freely to time and construct the composition outside of time. This makes AlgoScore more like a traditional sequencer in this regard, but a graphical algorithmic sequencer with powerful and flexible scripting capabilities.
Asymptote is a powerful descriptive 2D and 3D vector graphics language for technical drawing, inspired by MetaPost but with an improved C++-like syntax. It provides for figures the same high-quality level of typesetting that LaTeX does for scientific text. Asymptote is a programming language as opposed to just a graphics program. It can exploit the best features of script (command-driven) and graphical user interface (GUI) methods. High-level graphics commands are implemented in the language itself, allowing them to be easily tailored to specific applications.

Cho knew Bismack more than anybody else on draft night. He had been scouting him for months (dating back to his Portland days) and was high on him all along. The main goal for trading up to get the 7 was to target him.
We all know how smart Cho is. We also knew Bismack was going to be a multiyear project. Let's give him a little longer than ~70 games before we come to a solid conclusion on him

Dan Finnerty caught America's attention as the foul-mouthed wedding singer in the hit film OLD SCHOOL, performing his now-infamous foul-mouthed rendition of "Total Eclipse of the Heart", as well as his other appearances in Todd Phillips movies, STARSKY & HUTCH and THE HANGOVER.
What started as a drunken joke for Finnerty singing "I Am Woman" at a karaoke bar has spiraled out of control into THE DAN BAND - a cult hit that has garnered rave reviews from The New York Times, The L.A. Times, Variety and Rolling Stone and prompted Entertainment Weekly to name it "One of the hottest ticket in Hollywood." Their TV concert special "The Dan Band: I Am Woman" aired on Bravo and was directed by McG and executive produced by Steven Spielberg. They've appeared on numerous TV shows, including Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Late Late Show, Last Call with Carson Daly, Ellen, Spike TV's Guys Choice Awards and The Tonight Show, where Finnerty has been featured as a regular correspondent. THE DAN BAND plays to sold out crowds across the country and has released two CDs: "THE DAN BAND LIVE" followed by "HO – A DAN BAND X-MAS" and is currently working on a third with Comedy Central Records called "THE WEDDING ALBUM".

Several important process and equipment revelations were made at the Pan Pacific Microelectronics Symposium. The 18th annual Pan Pacific Microelectronics Symposium took place Jan. 22-24, in Maui, HI. The conference brought together the industry's top specialists from North America, Europe, Asia and Australia to share the most up-to-date science of electronics manufacturing and reliability. Technical papers and presentations covered a diverse range of electronics topics, including silicon interconnects and packaging, embedded devices, PCB assembly and cleaning, failure analysis and reliability models. The Best Paper honor was awarded to Rolf Aschenbrenner, Ph.D., Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and Microintegration, for his paper, "Panel Level Packaging – A Manufacturing Solution for Cost Effective Systems." The paper highlighted some of the challenges in embedding high I/O power chips, including heat removal, electrical isolation and molding processes. This is a distinguished honor, as the award recipient is determined by the conference attendees.

What are symptoms and signs of a torn meniscus?
Some people with a torn meniscus know exactly when they hurt their knee. There may be acute onset of pain and the patient may actually hear or feel a pop in their knee. As with any injury, there is an inflammatory response, including pain and swelling. The swelling within the knee joint from a torn meniscus usually takes a few hours to develop. Depending upon the amount of pain and fluid accumulation, the knee may become difficult to move. When fluid accumulates, it may be difficult and painful to fully extend or straighten the knee.
In some situations, the amount of swelling may not necessarily be enough to notice. Sometimes, the patient isn't aware of the initial injury but starts complaining of symptoms that develop later.
After the injury, the knee joint irritation may gradually settle down and feel relatively normal as the initial inflammatory response resolves. However, other symptoms may develop over time, including any or all of the following:
- Pain with running or walking longer distances
- Intermittent swelling of the knee joint: Many times, the knee with a torn meniscus feels "tight."
- Popping, especially when climbing up or down stairs
- Giving way or buckling (the sensation that the knee is unstable and a sense that the knee will give way): Less commonly, the knee actually will give way and cause the patient to fall.
- Locking (a mechanical block where the knee cannot be fully extended or straightened): This occurs when a piece of torn meniscus folds on itself and blocks full range of motion of the knee joint. The knee gets "stuck," usually flexed between 15 and 30 degrees and cannot bend or straighten from that position.

Just hours after a Swiss bank froze access today to a legal defense fund established for WikiLeaks provocateur Julian Assange, a group of hackers have shut down the bank's Web site in an escalating "infowar."
A group calling itself Operation Payback took responsibility for the Internet attack on the Swiss bank, PostFinance, via its Twitter account. "We will fire at anyone that tries to censor WikiLeaks," the group said in its announcement.
The push to privatize services traditionally provided by government is the focus of a community forum slated for next week.
Since the Reagan era, privatization — or the outsourcing of public services to the private sector — has been touted as a way to make government more efficient and less costly. Critics, however, allege it is a form of union-busting that often leads to lower wages for workers and reduced accountability to the public.
Almost a full decade after Cincinnati voters passed a charter amendment that changed the way police chiefs are selected, it's being used for the first time.
City Manager Milton Dohoney Jr. announced this morning that he's selected a candidate from outside the current police ranks to head the Cincinnati Police Department. James E. Craig, who currently is the chief in Portland, Maine, will take the top spot here beginning in about a month, a city spokeswoman said.
Hundreds of streetcar supporters packed the Mercantile Library last night outlining the several different ways they plan to campaign to save the project — including various forms of litigation The Enquirer typically enjoys playing up as potentially costly to taxpayers — a story similar in concept to the anti-streetcar protests The Enquirer gave attention to leading up to the election.
The Enquirer's cursory wrap-up of the event was removed from the cincinnati.com homepage this morning, and it's currently not even listed on the site's News page even though it was published more recently than several stories that are. Left behind on the homepage is a real joke of analysis: the fact that the $1.5 million monthly construction cost divided by 30 days in a month amounts to $50,000 per day, assuming workers put in the same amount of time every day in a month and the city gets billed that way, which it doesn't.
The $1.5 million figure has been known for weeks, but $50,000 per day sounds dramatic enough that concerned taxpayers everywhere can repeat it to other ill-informed people at the water cooler. If these math whizzes wanted to really piss people off they would have broken it all the way down to $34.70 per minute, 24 hours a day. Man, fuck that streetcar!
At least the story's third paragraph offered a piece of recent news: Halting construction will still cost the city $500,000 per month because it will be on the hook for workers who can't be transferred and costs of rental equipment that will just sit there. (For Enquirer-esque context: It will still cost $16,667 per day or $11.57 a minute to temporarily halt the project.)
Also, the note in the headline ("Streetcar, which Cranley plans to cancel, still costing $50K a day") reminding everyone that Cranley plans to cancel the project that is currently costing money seems unnecessary considering THE ONLY THING ANYONE HAS HEARD ABOUT SINCE THE ELECTION IS THAT CRANLEY PLANS TO STOP THE STREETCAR. It does nicely nudge readers toward the interactive forum they can click on and publicly lament how people who don't pay taxes have too much control over our city.
(Additional professional advice: Consider changing the subhed from, "It'll be costly to stop, and costly to go on, but work continues until Cranley and new council officially stop it" to something that doesn't sound like you have no idea what the fuck is going on.)
For context, the following are the streetcar stories currently presented on the website homepages of local media that have more talent/integrity than The Enquirer:
WVXU: Streetcar supporters will remain active to keep project going
WCPO: Federal official: Cincinnati will forfeit $40M in grants if streetcar project is canceled
WLWT: Standing-room-only crowd attends Cincinnati streetcar meeting
Cincinnati Business Courier: Feds: If you kill the streetcar, we want our money back
CityBeat: Streetcar supporters pack Mercantile Library, Fountain Square
CityBeat: Streetcar cancellation would cost Cincinnati federal funds
CONSERVATIVE MEDIA BONUS: 700WLW even has a relevant piece of streetcar news, although you have to scroll past a video of Russian kids wrestling a bear and an article suggesting that Obamacare is the president's Katrina (whatever that means): Feds: Use money for streetcar or pay it back.
UPDATE: Some courthouse officials are saying CityBeat's sources are wrong, and that no decision has been made on who will fill Clancy's former job. The officials say applications were being accepted until Jan. 5, and the judges will decide later. One option would be to keep the position vacant, at least temporarily, to save money. Other sources, however, are saying the selection of Jodie Leis-George and Casey DeNoma to share the job is a "done deal" and courthouse officials are seeking political cover for the choice. We shall see in the weeks to come.
Gary Mohr, director of ODRC, made the announcement while talking to legislative reporting service Gongwer in Columbus Tuesday.
"We're going to stay the course on those (sentencing reforms) and I think privatizing
additional prisons would take away from that reform effort that we have,
so I'm not anticipating privatizing any more prisons in the short term
here," he told Gongwer.
Ohio became the first state to sell one of its own prisons to a private prison company in 2011. The ACLU criticized the move for its potential conflict of interest. The organization argued that the profit goal of private prison companies, which make money by holding as many prisoners as possible, fundamentally contradicts the public policy goal of keeping inmate reentry into prisons and prison populations as low as possible.
In his comments to Gongwer, Mohr said the state will now focus on lowering recidivism, not increasing privatization: "I don't think you can go through upheaval of a system and continue to put prioritization on reform at the same time. I think if we were to re-engage again on privatization of prisons, then we're going to take the eye off the ball a little bit, and I think we're making great progress. It's a matter of focus."
In the past, the ACLU and other groups criticized Mohr's previous ties to private prison companies — particularly his private work for Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) before he became the director for ODRC. CCA in 2011 became the first private company in Ohio's history to purchase a state prison. The connection presents another possible conflict of interest, and it is only one of the many connections between CCA and Gov. John Kasich's administration.
Mike Brickner, ACLU researcher and director of communications and public policy, praised ODRC's decision in a statement: "Despite millions spent by private companies trying to convince policy makers and local governments otherwise, numerous studies have shown private prisons put their own profit ahead of good public policy. ODRC is wise to see that the privatization model distracts from their important efforts to shrink inmate population and reduce recidivism."
But Brickner also made further demands from the state: "ODRC should go a step further by making a commitment not to privatize additional prison services such as food and medical care. Arguments for privatizing these services use the same faulty logic as the arguments for privatizing entire prisons."
CityBeat was not able to immediately reach ODRC for comment on Mohr's announcement. This story will be updated if comments become available.
During the course of researching and reporting last week's story on prison privatization in Ohio, CityBeat found the ODRC to be dismissive of our interest in speaking with Mohr or a spokesperson about private prisons. During two weeks of correspondence, CityBeat received numerous excuses as to why the ODRC couldn't grant an interview and eventually received two emails with the exact same statement — one from ODRC, a state
department, and one from Management and Training Corporation, a private
company that manages prisons in Ohio. The statement added a strange twist to the already-suspicious fact that the ODRC didn't want to talk about its prison privatization plan with the media. A full explanation of the issues ODRC posed to the reporting process can be found in the editor's note at the end of the cover story.
The resolution expresses council's dissatisfaction with the Ohio Legislature for granting "special privileges to the oil and natural gas industry" and asks it to repeal any laws that pre-empt local control over drilling.
The resolution targets the controversial practice of hydraulic fracturing or "fracking," which uses chemically-laced water to free up natural gas trapped in shale formations underneath Ohio.
Fracking opponents worry that the chemicals used in the fluid — which companies aren't required to disclose — can be toxic to people and animals.
Prior to the council vote, Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls and Councilwoman Laure Quinlivan held a news conference on the steps of City Hall.
"I believe local officials should have a say on all matters related to potentially hazardous activities such as fracking," Quinlivan said in an emailed statement. "I urge my colleagues to send a strong message to the Ohio Governor, the Ohio Legislature, and Cincinnati residents by passing this resolution."
A 2004 state law puts regulation of oil and gas drilling
under the state's purview, preventing municipalities from regulating
drilling on their land.
Copies of the resolution will be sent to Gov. John Kasich and members of the Ohio General Assembly elected from the Cincinnati area. The resolution comes after Ohio recently lifted a moratorium on new injection wells, which shoot wastewater deep underground for storage.
There had been a temporary ban on new wells almost a year ago after seismologists said an injection was to blame for 11 earthquakes around the Youngstown area.
City council in August passed an ordinance to band injection wells within city limits. Because the injection well ban doesn't mention drilling, council hoped it wouldn't clash with the state law preventing local regulation of oil and gas drilling.
A unanimous City Council vote on Wednesday to pass a resolution officially representing Cincinnati's opposition to the proposed H.B. 203, Ohio's own version of controversial "Stand Your Ground" laws, is part of a statewide advocacy effort to oppose loosening restrictions on the use of deadly force.
The vote puts Cincinnati in the middle of a national dialogue that's been ongoing since the death of unarmed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Fla., in 2012.
The bill, introduced by House Republicans on June 11, contains several revisions to the state's gun laws, the most controversial of which is the proposal to expand the circumstances in which a person has no duty to retreat from a threatening situation before using force in self-defense. Those in opposition to the bill worry that change will encourage vigilante justice and give gun owners a false sense of entitlement in using their firearms in otherwise non-violent situations.
The bill's language also loosens restrictions on concealed carry permits and would make it easier for individuals subject to protection orders to obtain handguns.
State Rep. Alicia Reece spoke at a Wednesday press conference at City Hall to support Cincinnati's formal opposition to the bill. Reece, also president of the Ohio Legislative Black Caucus, is part of its statewide campaign to garner enough opposition to H.B. 203 to present to Gov. John Kasich and other legislative leaders.
She says OLBC has already collected about 5,000 petitions and hopes to obtain more than 10,000 by the time the Ohio House of Representatives resumes regular sessions on Oct. 2.
Reece and Councilwoman Yvette Simpson, who sponsored the resolution, insist that Ohio's self-defense laws are already strong enough to protect those who face physical threats from others. In 2008, then-Gov. Ted Strickland signed Ohio's "Castle Doctrine" into law, which stripped homeowners of the duty to try to retreat in threatening situations and gives them the "benefit of the doubt" when they injure or kill a person who enters their residence or vehicle.
"While many states around the country which have Stand Your Ground laws are looking at ways in which they can repeal those laws, or change those laws, unfortunately Ohio is moving backwards by trying to implement Stand Your Ground laws, which has become one of the most polarizing issues not only in the state of Ohio, but in the country," said Reece at Wednesday's press conference.
The efficacy of stand-your-ground laws to reduce violence is widely debated; several researches insist that the laws actually cause an increase in homicides. Mark Hoekstra, an economist with Texas A&M University, published a study that found homicides increase 7 to 9 percent in states that pass stand your ground laws, compared to states that didn't pass laws over the same period. His study found no evidence the laws had an effect on deterring crime during the time period. Those statistics are difficult to gauge, however, because some homicides are legitimately considered "justifiable" while others may just be the result of the "escalation of violence in an otherwise non-violent situation," he told NPR in January.
H.B. 203 is currently waiting to be heard in front of the Policy and Legislative Oversight committee. See an analysis of the bill below:
"It is inherently wrong to allow private businesses to make a profit off
the incarceration of others," said Brickner in an ACLU press release. "Our state's
prison system is bloated, and private corporations have a vested financial
interest to ensure our prisons remain full. If state officials have any hope of
shrinking our prison population, we must implement transformative criminal
justice reform policies and reject interests that grow our prison system."
Brickner suggests that concerned citizens contact their elected representatives to express their opposition to privatizing prisons. Read the ACLU's full report on privatizing prisons here.

3.55/5 rDev -7.6%
look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.5
A - pours a deep opaque black. Thick mouse-like light tan foam billows almost out of the glass, possibly from an overly vigorous pour. A streak or two of lacing is left on the glass.
S - On this barrel aged imperial smoked porter the first thing that jumps out at me is a rich molten chocolate sauce followed by the classic fresh doughy bread character of american 2-row malt. A touch of ashy campfire lingers in the background along with hints of spice in the form of anise and pepper grinds. As it warms woody notes become more present.
T - syrupy chocolate flavors coat the mouth. Sweet bready malt character adds weight to the flavor. The center seems to be a bit brighter. Peppery spice lights up the palate. Slight hints of smoke twoard the back. The finish is medium length and a touch sweet and chocolatey which balances the smokey character.
M - smooth and creamy. Full bodied. Medium carbonation.
O - interesting beer. I feel like i should have drank it sooner and i am now missing out on when the barrel notes where most prominent. It is a very enjoyable beer but i think i was expecting something different.

2.76/5 rDev -28.1%
look: 3.75 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 3 | feel: 2.25 | overall: 2.5
2013 vintage. 750ml capped bottle into a Brooklyn Brewery snifter. Shared with schen9303.
Pours a 2 finger rich coffee colored head with moderate retention. Beer is pitch black but pretty thin. Lacing is stringy and spotty with decent legs and good stick. Solid.
Nose is maple, smoke, roast and meat. Like a maple glazed smoked ham. Pretty polarizing.
Opens sweet maple syrup, roast, smoke, and burnt malt. Chocolate, anise, and cocoa powder mix in, in the middle. End is sweet with a touch of booze. Sweet chocolate, roast, and cocoa cola finish with a lingering maple and roast aftertaste. Average.
Medium bodied with ample carbonation. Prickly and aggressive in the mouth but goes down relatively smooth. Messy finish with a slightly lingering aftertaste. The body doesn't hold the flavor of this one.
This is a pretty middle-of-the-road offering. However, considering its $20, its a hard pass. Not worth the price.

750 mL bottle poured into a snifter. 2010 bottle.
Appearance - Black with a nice mocha head. Thick collar and nice legs.
Smell - Very smokey. Meaty. A little bit of sugar. Chocolate. The faintest of rum aromas.
Taste - Much more chocolate. A little ashy. Sharp smoke. Sulfur. Oaky. Some rum in the finish.
Mouthfeel - Bitter. Medium heavy. Medium carbonation.
Overall - This is some intense smoke. I don't get the rum so much.

3.34/5 rDev -13%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.25 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
2013 Vintage. Poured in to snifter.
A - Poured black with a thin layer of light brown head that quickly receded to a ring around the edges of the glass.
S - A massive smoke aroma hits the nose right away and overpowers the other elements of the beer in the nose. Some oak and a hint of alcohol (rum) are present in the background.
T - The base beer and barrel aging qualities are much more integrated than the nose suggested. Smoke is still the dominant component but a big charred oak presence shows up along with an alcohol taste that must be the rum with lighter notes of spice and roast in the finish. The rum barrel aging notes are a little rough and don't seem to enhance the overall flavour profile.
M - Medium body. Light carbonation.

4.21/5 rDev +9.6%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.75 | overall: 4
I picked this beer up from the brewery in May.
A: A very dark brown beer with a deep garnet hue.The head is made of compact brown bubbles that leave a fine lacing on the glass and have a long retention period.
S: Fruity, dark malt, coffee and some roast aromas from the porter blend with oak notes. There is a medium vanilla and cinnamon oak character but very little rum character in the nose.
T: The porter flavors of roast, dark malt and some coffee are much more discernible in the flavor along with the rum. The porter and oak dominate the flavor with the rum and a little bit of dark fruit supporting that. There isn't much in the way of hops flavor and a moderately-low bitterness. Some chocolate malt character is evident as it warms. The balance between the malt sweetness and bitterness is about even, maybe just slight bitter. There is a slight charcoal flavor coming out in the aftertaste but it's mostly dark malt, oak and a light fruit juiciness.
M: A creamy, soft beer with a medium-full body and a medium level of carbonation.
O: A velvety porter with roast, coffee and some chocolate layered with oak and supported with some rum making for a nicely balance beer.

To follow up on my previous blog, I found out something quite amusing about the segment. You see that banner in the background of those pictures? The black text says "occupation" and the Rockets say it themselves!
So it looks like Pokemon has their own occupy situation going on. But at least this is one I can finally get behind!

Crook County Kicks Off Election Season In Wyoming
Crook County Republicans will be the first in the state to weigh in on the presidential election this weekend when precincts caucus at the courthouse in Sundance.
Crook County Committeeman Bruce Brown says registered Republican voters will meet to talk about platforms and resolutions that will be forwarded to the County and State Conventions in March.
"This is grassroots politics at its best and hopefully we'll get a turnout depending on weather before everybody gets rolling into calving season up our way, so I look forward to a good turnout," says Brown. "If we want to have a sane government, this is where it starts. It starts on the local level and it builds as we go up towards the nation, so it's very important, if you have a chance to participate in your county caucuses, to get out and be heard."
GOP voters will also get a chance to participate in the non-binding straw-poll to choose whether Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum or Ron Paul will be Crook County's pick for GOP presidential nominee. Burns says it's the first time Wyoming has ever held a straw-poll, and results from all precincts will be released February 29th.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

The votes have been cast. The ballots have been counted. And the U.S. sheep industry has voted in favor of the Lamb Promotion, Research and Information Order, more commonly known as the American Lamb Checkoff Program.
First off, I applaud those producers who recognized the importance of the lamb checkoff for the future of the U.S. sheep industry and placed a ?yes? vote on their ballot. And secondly, I would like to say ?thank you? to those individuals who donated their time and effort to the ?Vote Yes for American Lamb Coalition.? The labors of these dedicated people, along with 41 state sheep producer associations, the American Sheep Industry Association (ASI), the National Lamb Feeders Association and the American Farm Bureau Federation, all proved worthwhile as the industry decided to continue supporting the activities of the American Lamb Board (ALB).
The concept of developing a checkoff for the lamb industry began five years ago this month, when ASI leaders were joined by 75 producers, feeders and affiliated industry organizations to decide what, if anything, could be done about the lack of industry promotion of our lamb. From that meeting, a checkoff exploration taskforce was convened, representing all segments of the industry. After meeting several times, the taskforce created a proposal, which ASI forwarded to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) in February 2000. In the fall of 2001, the USDA issued a Federal Register notice and took public comments on the program.
Since the order was issued in the spring of 2002, ASI has carried this project forward as a priority of our sheep-industry-adjustment plan, which we had filed with the federal government in 1999, to strengthen the industry?s competitiveness.
In order for the program to continue, it had to be approved by a majority of voters who also represented a majority of the sheep volume voting in the referendum. Aware that the dates of the referendum would soon be set, the ASI Executive Board met last July to discuss how we would publicize the referendum, along with the activities of the ALB. One outcome of that meeting was the creation of a ?Vote Yes for American Lamb Coalition.?
We knew the major effort of the Coalition would be to get active producers to take the time to vote during the referendum, as we were unaware of much fight or controversy on the program. And, although we were not surprised at the number of voters, we had hoped for a larger turnout at the polls.
This vote secured funding for the ALB for the next four years. At that time, the industry will again have to vote on the continuation of the American Lamb Checkoff Program.
The approval of the referendum allows the ALB to continue investing your dollars wisely to spotlight American lamb. Their latest promotion, ?American Lamb. From American Land.? conveys the pride of the U.S. sheep producer and encourages domestic identification. A couple additional ALB success stories over the past year include:
These programs are only a handful of the activities the ALB has been able to accomplish with your checkoff dollars. I encourage all producers to become more aware of the ALB?s promotions and learn of their programs. The Board is an excellent tool the U.S. sheep industry has to help expand the market share of American lamb and foster an opportunity for prosperity for all its contributors.
It truly is amazing what we can accomplish when there is unity within the industry. I want to compliment the volunteer leaders of the U.S. sheep industry who built the American Lamb Checkoff Program and helped along each step of the way during the past five years. The outcome of this ruling is most likely the single most important action producers of today can proudly say they accomplished to help those producers of tomorrow. This ruling will help ensure that the U.S. sheep industry stays profitable, marketable and competitive for years to come.

It looks like a perfect plan: the affair will come to a cruel but satisfying end when a Chinese noodle shop owner plots to execute his unfaithful wife and her lover. But the lover has a lethal plan of his own in this violent tale of adultery and revenge based on the Coen Brother's Blood Simple.
This 5-disc DVD boxed set collects all 50 episodes of the newer (year 2003) Astro Boy animated television series./
Each volume includes 10 episodes of the series, available for the first time as single-disc releases! This series features updated, state-of-the-art animation and is based on the original 1963 series inspired by 1950s comic by legendary Osamu Tezuka, the "father of anime."
Bitten by a vampire while pregnant, Eric Brooks' mother gave birth to a baby boy: a child born with all the strengths of a vampire and only one of its weaknesses. Struggling with a blood thirst but imbued with supernatural powers, that child has become the vampire hunter known as Blade. Seeking justice for his mother and peace for himself, Blade tracks Deacon Frost, the vampire who killed her, throughout Asia.
They are called Chiropterans, ravenous creatures that can change their form, disguising themselves as human beings. Immortal creatures that feed off blood, they hide themselves among us. An organization called the Red Shield has been waging a private war to wipe them out. Now the struggle has grown.
Otonashi Saya is a high-school girl who lives a peaceful life with her family. The only problem is, she has no recollections of her life beyond that of the past year. However, her happy life will be destroyed by an event that will lead her to her destined fate.
A normal high school student who suffers from amnesia, Saya's destiny is partially revealed when a stranger presents her with a katana. Soon she finds herself fighting Chiropterans - ravenous creatures that can change their form, disguising themselves as human beings. An organization called the Red Shield has been waging a private war to wipe them out. They travel to Ekaterinburg during the continued struggle, but no one's safe.
Saya Otonashi, a seemingly normal high school student, suffers from amnesia and she can't remember the past year of her life. One day, after a man appears and gives her a katana sword, her destiny begins to be revealed. Soon she finds herself fighting the latest threat to humanity: Chiropteran monsters, ravenous immortal creatures that can change their form and disguise themselves as human beings.

UMass Pumped $4.8 Billion into Massachusetts Economy in 2010
For more information, contact
or 978-934-3224
Report: 33,000 jobs and an 11:1 return on every state dollar invested
The University of Massachusetts system contributed over $4.8 billion to the Massachusetts economy in Fiscal Year 2010 – a return on investment of more than $11 for every $1 in state money that UMass received, according to a study released today.
The report, prepared by the University of Massachusetts Donahue Institute, also underscores the role of the five UMass campuses as economic engines for their individual regions and for the state.
UMass directly employs 16,623 people across the Commonwealth. If the University was a private employer, it would be ranked in the Top 15 in Massachusetts, ahead of such major employers as Genzyme, Biogen Idec and NStar.
Spending emanating out of the University helps to support an additional 16,598 jobs in a variety of sectors in every region of the state – from healthcare to real estate to hospitality.
The major drivers of economic impact are student, faculty and staff spending, construction projects and the University purchasing the goods and services required for its educational, research and public service activities.
"This report makes clear that alongside academic excellence and a strong reputation for cutting-edge research, UMass should also be recognized as a crucial economic asset to the entire Commonwealth," said UMass President Jack M. Wilson. "We see that during this past year, every state dollar invested in UMass multiplied eleven-fold in the form of economic impact."
"This is a vivid, contemporary example of how the University's original economic-development mission endures and has grown far beyond what its founders could have imagined," President Wilson added.
The Donahue Institute study accounts for economic impact generated by the combined effects of University System operations and faculty and staff and student spending at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, University of Massachusetts Boston, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, University of Massachusetts Lowell, University of Massachusetts Medical School and the University of Massachusetts central services division.
While the 16,598 jobs supported by University spending occur across many sectors of the Massachusetts economy, the largest sectors include over 3,430 jobs in trade, transportation and utilities, over 2,820 jobs in education and health services, and over 2,650 jobs in leisure and hospitality.
"It is clear that the University of Massachusetts is a terrific investment for the Commonwealth," said Robert J. Manning, chairman of the University of Massachusetts Board of Trustees. "The University supports thousands of jobs in every region of the state and promotes economic innovation across many sectors. It is apparent that the education that the University of Massachusetts provides and the research it conducts is important for Massachusetts to remain an economic leader nationally and internationally."
According to the new report, the economic impact of each campus is:
Amherst: $1.434 billion
Boston: $632 million
Dartmouth: $356 million
Lowell: $490 million
Medical School: $1.752 billion
While gauging the University's economic impact is "an important and telling measurement," it is not the only way that the University's contribution to the Commonwealth's economy can be described, President Wilson said.
President Wilson noted that UMass helps to drive the economy by educating 68,000 students annually, producing more than 12,000 graduates each year, by conducting nearly $500 million in sponsored research annually and by producing discoveries that create new companies and strengthen firms already doing business in Massachusetts. In Fiscal Year 2009, the University of Massachusetts earned $73 million from licensing fees and royalties, placing it in the Top 15 nationally in intellectual property income.
In addition to University operating expenditures and faculty, staff and student spending, the total University System economic impact includes one-time construction project expenditures totaling over $187 million. These construction projects yielded over $334 million in total economic activity in Massachusetts and 1,857 jobs. Earlier this year, the UMass Board of Trustees approved a borrowing plan to fund $546 million in additional construction projects on all five campuses.
The data underpinning the new report was compiled and analyzed by the Institute's Economic and Public Policy Research Unit, using the IMPLAN modeling system – a widely used proprietary software tool. IMPLAN combines the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis' Input-Output Benchmarks with regional employment and wage data to construct quantitative models of the flow of goods and services among businesses that purchase materials and services from one another and from employees who use their increased earnings to purchase additional goods and services from local businesses.
This methodology and the database generated is very conservative and does not take into account millions of dollars generated by the University System from research, technology spinoffs, patents and start-ups. The vast majority of dollars spent on the University system come not from the state but from research funding, patents and intellectual property, professional services and student fees.
State appropriations for the University System totaled $429 million (exclusive of federal stimulus funding) in Fiscal Year 2010 – representing 16 percent of the entire UMass operating budget of $2.66 billion. That makes the ratio of total University economic impact ($4.83 billion) to Commonwealth investment ($429 million) more than 11:1.
The 16,598 external jobs supported by UMass economic activity break down in the following way:
Amherst: 5,174
Boston: 2,516
Dartmouth: 1,329
Lowell: 1,711
Medical School: 5,439
UMass Central Services: 430
For businesses in Lowell and the Merrimack Valley, UMass Lowell generates $490 million and 1,711 external jobs.
"The University of Massachusetts Lowell represents the future of Lowell and the surrounding region," said James J. Cook, executive director of the Lowell Development & Financial Corporation or Lowell Plan. "UMass Lowell has raised the city of Lowell up by its presence, providing energy and jobs to the Merrimack Valley. It has helped to transform this symbol of the Industrial Revolution into a city that competes in the global economy."
