A: Pours a black color with a decent tan head that fades quickly to some lacing.
S: Aroma is a bit muted with roasted malt, bit of chocolate and coffee.
T: Taste of some roasted malt, chocolate, coffee and bit of malt sweetness. Decent bitterness and a fairly clean finish.
F: Fairly moderate body, not a creamy as I hoped.
O: Fairly decent stout, but nothing to get excited about.

When most of us hear the words 'Carlton & United', we immediately think of the unforgivable excuses for beer they've produced over the years. Several of us would rather chug a pint of cat urine than punish our tastebuds with a stubby of VB or Carlton. Henceforth, when a good mate of mine told me that CUB brew a stout that is remarkably decent, I immediately thought "bollocks". However, he is indeed right - beneath the sea of fizzy discharge produced by the Australian brewing giant, there is an undercurrent of stout that is thoroughly enjoyable for its price range.
Appearance: A slow pour into a 375ml glass produces just over 1 cm of beige head, which remains for quite a while. The beer is very dark, though not completely opaque. Holding it up to the light reveals a ruby red darkness.
Smell: Roasted malts and coffee are dominant, with a subtle sweetness not dissimilar to milk. It's neither offensive nor overwhelming to smell this stout, and the smell is highly reminiscent of the flavour.
Taste: Sweetness is immediately apparent upon the first sip with milk, chocolate and toffee ubiquitously present, followed by a bitter malt finish. It tastes remarkably light for a stout and is more sessionable as a result. Those unaccustomed to heavy Imperial stouts could use the Invalid as a transition from dark ale to stout as the roasted malt remains gentle on the tongue and not too bitter or dark.
Mouthfeel: Thin for a stout and moderately bubbly. Seasoned stout drinkers might feel a little uneasy with this given the contrast between stout flavour and thin mouthfeel, although this only serves to make it more approachable to the casual drinker.
Overall: I am simply gobsmacked that CUB have produced a beer that I actually enjoyed. Its sweetness and thin body make it approachable to your casual lager or pale ale drinker, whilst the deep roasted tones ensure that legitimate stout drinkers will be satisfied as well. At the measly price of AU $14 a sixer, it now remains my stock-standard go-to stout when I'm a little strapped for cash. This stout will challenge your perceptions of CUB with its unexpectedly enjoyable taste, affordable price and overall enjoyable drinking experience.

Poured from a 750ml Longneck into a Pint glass.
Big mocha coloured head that surprisingly took a LONG time to dissipate.
Smells lightly of chocolate/cocoa and has a subtle sweet aromas.
Tastes of Chocolate and roasted malts. Very nice for a CUB brewed beer. Reminds me of a Double Tooheys Old or Carlton Black. Very nice.
Moderate carbonation far from offensive! Perfect.
Overall this IS a very nice Stout.
It surprised me as the CUB is disappointing for it's shit over produced standards. I feel sorry for all the people who still drink VB and Carlton Draught when they could (for the same price) be drinking this.

Pours black with a large tan head.
Nose shows milk chocolate, cocoa and roasted malt. Not bad.
Flavours are a bit light on but show roasted malt and some cocoa.
Could use more carbonation, body seems a little watery.
Nice, easy-drinking stuff, pretty moreish.

It has a decent tan head, thats slightly lighter around the edges certainly looks alright. The head stays for the duration that I slowly drank the beer, suprising considering the brewer.
A sweet smell, almost like condensed milk comes through as well as the dark malts. Much better than I expected!
The taste is nice and roasty, with a hint of sweetness at the back, maybe a bit of vanilla in there at the end.
Mouthfeel is light for a stout without being too thin. Regardless, the flavours linger around which is what I love in a stout.
This is by far the best CUB Beer I've ever tried. Doesn't have that skunkiness that we all know so well. Good value.

Dark brown to black, 'clean looking'. Weak head, very thin on pouring and not surprisingly disappears in no time. A bit of non-descript sweetness on the nose but well backed some some darker roasted notes. Fizzed up in the mouth (CUB are so bloody predictable) which makes it tough for any real stout flavours to come through. Some roasted malty sweetness came through eventually but doesn't really carry the beer. I've definately had better so to be fair I'll revisit in due course.

This pours black with a decent beige head which drops away to leave just a little covering.
I love the milk chocolate nose. A little bit of toffee in there as well. And some coffee. This is what I love in dark beers.
Dark roasted malts dominate the palate. Coffee comes through as well.
A decent mouth feel from a medium to high carbonation.
This is my "always in the cupboard" stout. It is interesting that CUB have no mention of it on their website. Ironic given that it is their only decent beer.

I'm probably being a bit unfair to this brew by reviewing it straight after Murray's Wild Thing Imperial Stout, but then I can't think of anything Carlton & United have done to deserve a fair break, so screw them. Yes, I'm biased - piss off.
Pours a blackish brown colour which is definitely umber around the edges when held up to the light. Head is generous but not very dense and disappears very quickly leaving a flat-topped beer in the glass. Fair bit of lacing but not very sticky. Really, not much more than I'd expect from a beer calling itself a stout.
Nose is quite pleasant, with a creamy kind of character actually dominating any burnt, coffee aspect. This of course could mean that it's less potent on the palate, but I'll reserve judgement on that because really it's certainly not an unpleasant smell. It quite reminds me of the What's Brewing? stout, which I tried on the same day as buying this bottle. Yeah, it's a nose like coffee cream, with a slight treacle edge, rather sweet with not much sour or burnt character. Quite nice, but nice in the way that a scrawny kid with braces who'll do your homework for you is nice.
Eck. Ghastly mouthfeel. It's hard even to get the flavours as it just slips like a cold, floundering herring down your throat. What flavours I can get are pretty much par for the stout course - a bit of a roasted malt character and the slightest hint of vanilla or something, but seriously, it's so thin and watery that it's hard to tell. I might as well take this beer intravenously for all the pleasure my mouth is getting from it. In fact it's really quite astounding that it holds its own for so long in appearance and smell and then just sinks so catastrophically on the taste. I just don't understand how you can get as much (viz: not that much anyway) character on the nose with such a dull and insipid drinking beer.
Sure, as far as dark beers to scull in the back alleys of Footscray while wrapping your knuckles in barbed wire, this one is right up there. But it's comprehensively shit anywhere else. Congratulations, CUB, another wart on the arse of Australian macrobrewing.

A: nice & opaque...beautiful rocky head...dissipated a little quickly for my liking but lacing was good.
S: Not that strong at all...dark malts, but not that smokey aroma as with dark ales...
T: For a very mainstream stout this faired very nicely...& without that yucko Carlton (CUB) chemical metallic taste. Roasted malts again, with a little smokiness & sweetness but what I like about this was not too much of anything, not too sweet, not too smoky or roasty, & not too bittery (but it did linger)
M: Good, a little warming & defintaly felt like a stout - a little heavier & thicker...yum.
D: Yep, I am very pleased considering its one of the cheapest if not the cheapest stout going around...I will definately buy more...
LOVE the look of the lacing all the way down the mug...

Longneck purchased a few months ago in Melbourne. Can't buy this in NSW - our CUB stout is Sheaf Stout. Haven't had Sheaf in a while actually - would be interesting to compare them directly.
Appearance: Looks mighty in my Schneider Weisse glass. Black and completely opaque fading to mahogany/nut brown at the thinner sections of the glass. Poured with a rocky off-white to tan head, which dissipated to a quite-acceptable 1cm or so sitting comfortably on top of the ale. Lacing is everywhere - fairly bubbly and labyrinthine, like a hedge maze.
Smell: All aromas are focused in the coffee/chocolate region of the spectrum - not too varied (no bizarre flavours unusual to the style). What is there I like, though. Rich dark coffee and cocoa, and something that reminds me of Yorkshire... maybe blackberry, it smells thorny. Good, anyway. No adjuncts - hardly ever seen in this brewery's stable.
Taste: Potent. Ground dark coffee, DARK chocolate (it's the raw cocoa/bitter flavour that comes across), burnt toffee maybe?, some kind of berry, maybe blackberry - or maybe even tea made from blackberry plants. There's an earthy, leafy flavour to it which belies its CUB origins. (It's hard not to be cynical about this brewer, but this beer is actually pretty good). Bitter aftertaste, somewhat medicinal. I'm pleased with this brew. Still, it's not the most action-packed stout I've ever come across. But it's flavoursome.
Mouthfeel: Not as creamy as you'd expect from a milk stout, but not dull. Carbonation is quite big, but not too distracting.
Drinkability: The previous beer's alcohol has affected my objective analysis of this brew. I initially thought it was this beer's punch, but it's only 5.2%, which is less than I expected. It's OK, but since you can't get it north of the Victorian border, there's no chance I'll be having this any time soon.
Next time I'm in Melbourne I'll bring some back for a side-by-side comparison with Sheaf Stout. I seem to remember Sheaf Stout having more bite, and being a bit harsher on the palate. But it's been a long time since I've had any stout, and I don't know how valid my ratings are in line with your average stout out there. Still, I enjoyed this beer, now, and I guess that's the point of these reviews.
(By the way, it's now 5.2% according to the bottle. I know they discontinued brewing for a while in the early 90s, maybe the recipe's changed).

Well if you're going to drink a Carlton United beer, this is one of your better (if not best) choices. Pours dark, with an evident chocolate malt nose. The taste is similar, but without the usual Carlton metallic aftertaste. Mouthfeel is fairly thin. Don't drink a whole lot of these because just a few give me a hangover. I don't think it's the purest beer in the world. Worth a try for one, though.

Dense purple to black in colour the presentation is spoilt by the loosely bubbled head.
I could not get a smell from it.
It starts off sweet and melon like and finishes with a long bitter kick.
It has a gentle tingle in the mouth
Could not sit down and drink a lot of it but its a value for money stout.

extra! extra! read all about it! carltons stouts are actually not too bad! shocked BA's cant believe it!!! not the best stout in the country by a long shot, this is still a pretty handy alround stout that has been called for on occasion when ive been a bit hard up for cash and needed something semi decent. maybe thats where the name invalid comes from?
thick and oily looking with a very dark brown head thats surprisingly creamy, its simliar in its darkness to coopers best extra. the nose has a strong whiff of roasted coffee beans, with the slight hints of orchard fruits. has a very robust roasted flavor with smokey elements and the taste of coffee and chocolate, theres some continued fruitiness to it thats hiding in the shadows. it rounds out with a quite powerful dry finish thats along the lines of sheaf stout. aftertaste resembles a flat black and its not as oily in the mouth as it looks. pretty well balanced all up.
carlton brewed this from their ballarat operation till recently (it was the only beer they brewed there), and seems to have been able to maintain the standard, which i do find a little surprising. its nowhere near the best stout going around, but as a cheap little tide me over till payday, abbots invalid does the job in a tidy fashion.

I hold a strong belief that any bad situation can be turned into a good one. The thing about this belief is that it's only true if you believe it. It's easy to think this when everything's going swimmingly, but when plans get derailed and blow up in your face, it gets put to the test. Case in point, here's a situation I found myself in recently:
Imagine that. I'm stuck in Santo Domingo and my ride to England is sailing away without me, putting a serious body of water in between me and my British plans.
Step one: deep breath. Step two: examine options. There's the boring option of flying straight into Saint Maarten two days later. It's the ship's only stop before the five day transatlantic push, and a call to the cruise line confirms that I can meet them there and get on the ship. Almost as bad as being boring, it's expensive. Five hundred thirty seven dollars for a one way ticket.
I could book it and make it on the ship, but that's not turning a bad situation good; it's just turning a bad situation into a solved situation. I check a map of the Caribbean and notice that there are a few islands near Saint Maarten. Kitts, Nevis, and Anguilla. I'd never even heard of Anguilla before, but a quick check online offers a $325 fare from Santo Domingo.
That's the kind of situation I like. Two hundred twelve dollars cheaper than my only other option means that if I can spend less than that and turn it into an adventure, I've come out ahead. The ferry between the two islands seems to cost only twenty dollars, which is all the US currency I have in my pocket. That's enough confirmation for me; I book the ticket to Anguilla, which should give me a full 19 hours from landing to boat departure to make my way to the cruise ship.
I'd never been to Haiti and I'd never tried couchsurfing, but since Haiti was just a $75 bus ride away ($67 if you have the foresight to pay in Pesos), I felt like I had no choice but to try it.
A search for couches in Port Au Prince yielded a few pages of results, with Natacha and Charlene showing up at the top. The site said that they both replied to almost all of the requests, and each offered a couch for up to two weeks. I e-mailed Charlene first because she has a son and I love kids.
Charlene wrote back the same day and said to let her know what dates I wanted to come. I replied back with a weekend and she said she'd be expecting me. It was so easy and painless that I wondered if it would actually work.
I had lingering worries in the back of my mind. Haiti was supposed to be a pretty dangerous place, so if she changed her mind at the last minute, I might be stranded. Besides, we all know that everyone on the internet is a demented weirdo (except for me). How much weirder do you have to be to invite strangers into your home for weeks at a time?
After a long scenic bus ride, I arrived in Haiti. I took a taxi through the unlit streets and arrived in front of a night club, where Charlene's sister was waiting for me.

Genre: Comedy
Directed by: Victor Fleming
Starring: Jean Harlow, Lee Tracy, Pat O'Brien, Franchot Tone, Una Merkel
While Victor Fleming's Bombshell (1933) is by no means a sequel to his 1932 Red Dust (which the Asheville Film Society ran on March 5), the two films are inextricably connected: In the first movie, we see Jean Harlow's movie star character Lola Burns doing retakes for Bombshell. The line between life and fiction in this Hollywood satire is very thin indeed. In fact, aspects of the film — particularly those things about Lola and her screwy dysfunctional household — are based on Fleming's own experiences with his former movie-star girlfriend, Clara Bow (whose movie career had just burned out). It's all funny and on-target, but most of the satire is — as you might expect — not too unkind in nature, though the depiction of her leeching family and entourage is fairly blunt. The fact that the movie was made the year before the production code clamped down definitely plays in its favor.
There's not all that much plot to speak of here. The film mostly chronicles Lola's dizzy life — something made even dizzier by her own attachments to spur of the moment ideas (like adopting a baby) — and her particularly antagonistic relationship with her press agent Space Hanlon (Lee Tracy), who likes nothing better than publicizing intimate details of her love life — whether true or not. It's their relationship that's at the core of the movie — and, yes, that means exactly what you think it does, so there are no prizes for guessing where all this is going to end up. In a lot of ways, Bombshell offers the basic template for the screwball comedy — though that's usually an accolade afforded 1934's Twentieth Century. Maybe the Hollywood satire aspect confuses the issue, but there's no confusion over the fact that this is one very funny movie — and that Harlow and Lee Tracy were an inspired pairing.
The Asheville Film Society will screen Bombshell Tuesday, March 12 at 8 p.m. in the Cinema Lounge of The Carolina Asheville and will be hosted by Xpress movie critics Ken Hanke and Justin Souther.

But is he a hoopy frood who knows where his towel is?
As for the original question - I think the answer is when you look at a guy's picture of his guitars on line and say, "Damn, dude's got a lot of PRSi!" and realize you have the same number or more.
That happened to me.
Worse, it happened to me in front of my wife.

I'd say it's less about numbers and more about what you do with them and what they mean to you. A harem becomes a collection when you stop playing them all...

i stayed at the 8 bed dorm and the hostel is near to the station. the room and the toilet are clean, but the kitchen is a bit mess as it is the job that the users tidy up what they have used. overall the hostel is good.

Strange vibe, better for people staying long term.A good walk from station which is tough when arriving at night. Location can be confusing as same company owns several hostels in area. Wouldn't stay in summer as room felt very sticky and stuffy even in winter. Didn't feel 5 pound late fee was justified as our plane was late and baggage lost. Annoying that there is no point of contact on site.

The smoothtooth blacktip shark and four other species rediscovered in markets
(01/21/2014) Scientific American) magazine recently ran an article on the rediscovery of the smoothtooth blacktip shark (Carcharhinus leiodon) in a Kuwaiti fish market. Believed extinct for over 100 years, the smoothtooth had not been seen since the naturalist Wilhelm Hein returned from a trip to Yemen in 1902. With its reappearance, scientists scoured Kuwaiti markets and discovered an astounding 47 individual smoothtooth blacktips.
Giant turtle-devouring duck-billed platypus discovered
(11/04/2013) Based on a single tooth from Australia, scientists believe they have discovered a giant, meter-long (3.3 feet) duck-billed platypus that likely fed on fish, frogs, and even turtles, according to a new study in Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology. At least twice the size of a modern duckbilled platypus, the scientists say the extinct giant likely lived between 15 and 5 million years ago.
Rainforests will survive extreme global warming, argues study
(06/02/2013) Rainforests in South America have endured three previous extreme global warming events in the past, suggesting they will survive a projected 2-6 degree rise in temperatures over the coming century, reports a study published in the Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Science. The research, published by Carlos Jaramillo and Andrés Cárdenas of the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) in Panama, reviewed some 3,800 published estimates of temperature over the past 120 million years and compared them to the existence of tropical plants in the fossil record.
New prehistoric animal named after Johnny Depp due to its 'scissorhands'
(05/19/2013) Half a billion years after an arthropod with long triple claws roamed the shallow Cambrian seas, scientists have named it after Hollywood movie actor, Johnny Depp: Kooteninchela deppi. Depp, known for his versatility as an actor, played Edward Scissorhands—an artificial man with long scissors for hands—in a popular 1990 film.
Industrialized fishing has forced seabirds to change what they eat
(05/14/2013) The bleached bones of seabirds are telling us a new story about the far-reaching impacts of industrial fisheries on today's oceans. Looking at the isotopes of 250 bones from Hawaiian petrels (Pterodroma sandwichensis), scientists have been able to reconstruct the birds' diets over the last 3,000 years. They found an unmistakable shift from big prey to small prey around 100 years ago, just when large, modern fisheries started scooping up fish at never before seen rates. The dietary shift shows that modern fisheries upended predator and prey relationships even in the ocean ocean and have possibly played a role in the decline of some seabirds.
Humans killed over 10 percent of the world's bird species when they colonized the Pacific Islands
(03/25/2013) Around 4,000 years ago intrepid Polynesian seafarers made their way into an untamed wilderness: the far-flung Pacific Islands. Over a thousands or so years, they rowed from one island to another, stepping on shores never yet seen by humans. While this vast colonization brought about a new era of human history, it also ended the existence of well-over a thousand bird species according to a new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
Giant prehistoric freshwater turtle discovered
(05/18/2012) Researchers working in Colombia has discovered the fossilized remains of a giant freshwater turtle that lived some 60 million years ago.
Humans killed off magnificent Australian megafauna, flipping rainforest into savannah
(03/27/2012) The theory that humans, and not climate change, was primarily responsible for the extinction of giant marsupials in prehistoric Australia takes another step forward with a new study in Science. Exploring sediment cores for past evidence of big herbivores, researchers found that the arrival of humans coincided with the loss of a menagerie of magnificent beasts, from giant kangaroos to fearsome marsupial lions and monster birds to Komodo dragon-like reptiles. The decline of this megafauna ultimately led to ecological changes that may have caused Australia's rainforest to become savannah.
Meet the dinosaur that looks like a crow
(03/08/2012) The more we discover about dinosaurs, the more these "terrible lizards" resemble otherworldly birds. None more so than the microraptor, which paleontologists have meticulously reconstructed in a paper in Science. Not only was the microraptor about the size of a modern-day crow, it looked very crow-like according to paleontologists, even down to the discovery that it sported dark iridescent feathers, the first yet recorded in nature.
Carbon emissions paving way for mass extinction in oceans
(03/05/2012) Human emissions of carbon dioxide may be acidifying the oceans at a rate not seen in 300 million years, according to new research published in Science. The ground-breaking study, which measures for the first time the rate of current acidification compared with other occurrences going back 300 million years, warns that carbon emissions, unchecked, will likely lead to a mass extinction in the world's oceans. Acidification particularly threatens species dependent on calcium carbonate (a chemical compound that drops as the ocean acidifies) such as coral reefs, marine mollusks, and even some plankton. As these species vanish, thousands of others that depend on them are likely to follow.
When giant coyotes roamed the Earth
(02/27/2012) Not long ago, geologically speaking, coyotes (Canis latrans) were bigger and more robust than today's animals. In the late Pleistocene, over 10,000 years ago, coyotes rivaled grey wolves (Canis lupus) in size. But, according to a new paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), coyotes shrunk significantly following the megafaunal extinction—including the disappearance of big herbivores like giant sloths and mastodons and predators like the smilodon—due to changes in prey and predator competition.
Paleontologists reconstruct extinct, "elegant" penguin
(02/27/2012) Around 25 million years ago a penguin with a long, sharp beak and massive flippers lived in a New Zealand that was almost entirely underwater. The bird, named Kairuku after a Maori word that means "diver who returns with food," was first discovered in 1977, but has only recently been reconstructed by scientists in a study in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology.
Jurassic insect sings again
(02/06/2012) Innovative research has made a long-extinct katydid—which inhabited the world of dinosaurs like stegosaurus, allosaurus, and diplodocus—sing again. The discovery of an incredibly well-preserved fossil of a new species of katydid, dubbed Archaboilus musicus, gave biomechanical experts the opportunity to recreate a song not heard in 165 million years according to new research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
Interview with conservation legend, Richard Leakey
(11/28/2011) Following in his family's footsteps, Dr. Richard Leakey, is considered the heir to the scientific legacy of his parents, Louis and Mary Leakey, icons in the field of paleoanthropology. Dr Richard Leakey has been credited with some of the field's most successful paleoanthropologic finds, including a near complete, groundbreaking, Homo Erectus fossil dubbed 'Turkana Boy'. The scientific contributions of the Leakey family have reshaped our views of the origins of mankind and shed new light on the history and shared ties of the human family.
Scientists discover giant species of crocodile; luckily it is extinct
(09/15/2011) Researchers excavating a coal mine in Colombia have discovered a previously unknown species of prehistoric crocodile. The beast is described in the September 15 issue of the journal Palaeontology.
Pictures: Scientists discover carnivorous pygmy dinosaur
(01/13/2011) Scientists have announced the discovery of a new species of carnivorous dinosaur which lived 230 million years ago in what is today Argentina.
Extinct giant stork towered over 'hobbits' on Flores
(12/07/2010) Scientists have discovered an extinct massive stork, standing nearly 6 feet tall (1.8 meter) and weighing 35 pounds (15 kilograms), which would have shared the island of Flores with the 'hobbits'—dwarf hominin species known as Homo floresiensis—reports the BBC. According to the researchers the meat-eating stork was big enough to prey on young Homo floresiensis, and stood about 2 and a half feet (0.8 meters) above adult hobbits.
Pictures: Giant prehistoric penguin discovered
(10/01/2010) Paleontologists have unearthed fossil remains of a giant species of penguin that roamed the Earth 36 million years ago, according to research published in Science.
2 new dinosaur species, including 15-horned beast, discovered in Utah

Dwarf dinosaur confirmed: the horse-sized sauropod of Transylvania
(05/04/2010) A dinosaur mystery over a hundred years old has been unraveled according to a new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Prehistoric snake gobbled-up dinosaur babies
(03/02/2010) A fossilized snake has been discovered inside a titanosaur nest in India, leading researchers to conclude that the snake fed on newly-hatched dinosaur babies, rather than their eggs like modern snakes. Paleontologist and snake expert Jason Head says that the snake, known as Sanajeh indicus, lacked the wipe-jaws needed to swallow eggs, but just-hatched baby titanosaurs would have been perfect prey for the 3.5 meter (nearly 12 feet) long serpent. Titanosaurs belong to the sauropods, long-necked herbivorous dinosaurs which includes the world's largest animals to ever walk the land.
Polar bears are newcomers on the world stage
(03/01/2010) One of the most well-known animals, the polar bear, is a newcomer on the world stage, according to research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. By studying the DNA of an ancient polar bear jawbone uncovered in 2004 in Norway scientists have for the first time pinpointed the time when the polar bear split from its closest relative, the brown bear. "Our results confirm that the polar bear is an evolutionarily young species that split off from brown bears some 150,000 years ago and evolved extremely rapidly during the late Pleistocene, perhaps adapting to the opening of new habitats and food sources in response to climate changes just before the last interglacial period."
New study: overhunting by humans killed off Australia's megafauna
(01/21/2010) For over a century and a half researchers have debated whether humans or climate change killed off Australia's megafuana. A new paper in Science argues with new evidence that Australia's giant marsupials, monstrous reptiles, and large flightless birds were brought to extinction not by an unruly climate, but by the arrival of humans.
Extinct goat was "similar to crocodiles"
(11/16/2009) It sounds like something out of Greek mythology: a half-goat, half-reptilian creature. But researchers have discovered that an extinct species of goat, the Balearic Island cave goat or Myotragus balearicus, survived in nutrient-poor Mediterranean islands by evolving reptilian-specific characteristics. The goat, much like crocodiles, was able to grow at flexible rates, stopping growth entirely when food was scant. This adaptation—never before seen in a mammal—allowed the species to survive for five million years before being driven to extinction only 3,000 years ago, likely by human hunters.
Arctic lake undergoing unprecedented changes due to warming
(10/19/2009) The Arctic should be growing cooler, but a new sediment core taken from an Arctic lake reveals that the lake's ecology and chemistry has been transformed by unnatural warming beginning in the 1950s. The sediment core proves that changes happening in the lake during the Twentieth Century are unprecedented over the past 200,000 years. Headed by University of Colorado scientist Yarrow Axelford, the study retrieved the sediment core from the bottom of a thirty foot deep lake on Baffin Island. Importantly the sediment core goes back 80,000 years further than any other core retrieved from the Greenland ice sheet, providing researchers with the longest timescale yet of changes in the Arctic climate.
Historical deforestation in Madagascar may not be as bad as commonly believed
(08/12/2009) The long-held assumption that Madagascar has lost 90 percent of its forest cover due to fire and slash-and-burn agriculture may be overstated, argues new research published in Conservation Letters. Analyzing 6000-year pollen records in four sites, Malika Virah-Sawmy of Oxford University found evidence that vegetation in southeast Madagascar has for millennia been a mosaic of forests, woodlands and savannas, rather than continuous forests as generally believed. Virah-Sawmy says the findings demonstrate the importance of conserving Madagascar's remaining ecosystems as a buffer against climate change.
Extinction debt can last millions of years
(07/29/2009) Extinction can be set in motion millions of years before a species' actual demise, suggesting that present-day drivers of habitat destruction and degradation may have already doomed many species to eventual extinction, report researchers writing in Proceedings of the Royal Society B online.
Age of the Amazon River estimated at 11 million years
(07/08/2009) A new study, published in the journal Geology, estimates the age of the Amazon river at 11 million years.
Permian mass extinction caused by giant volcanic eruption
(05/28/2009) Two hundred and sixty million years ago the Earth experienced its worst mass extinction: 95 percent of marine life and 70 percent of terrestrial life vanished. Long a subject of dispute, researchers from the University of Leeds believe they have confirmed the reason behind the so-called Permian extinction.
48 'new' species of dinosaur discovered
(02/09/2009) In just four years a University of Portsmouth palaeontologist has discovered 48 new species from the age of the dinosaurs.
Monstrous prehistoric snake provides glimpse of warmer tropical forests
(02/04/2009) On Wednesday scientists announced the discovery of the world's largest snake, a prehistoric beast which preyed on giant turtles and crocodile-like reptiles in South America after the demise of the dinosaurs. As amazing as the discovery is, its greatest importance may be the clues it provides conservationists about the future of tropical forests under various global warming scenarios.
World's largest snake discovered: prehistoric serpent was twice the size of an anaconda
(02/04/2009) Paleontologists have recently uncovered the world's largest snake announces a paper in Nature. Measuring an astonishing 42 to 45 feet, the Titanoboa cerrejonensis makes the anaconda look diminutive. In fact the prehistoric serpent even makes once-ridiculous horror movie snakes appear conservative. "Truly enormous snakes really spark people's imagination, but reality has exceeded the fantasies of Hollywood," said Jonathan Bloch, one of the leaders of the party that discovered the prehistoric serpent. "The snake that tried to eat Jennifer Lopez in the movie Anaconda is not as big as the one we found."
Did cheetah come from China?
(12/30/2008) The discovery of a fossilized big cat skull in northwestern China provides new evidence that cheetah originated in the Old World, rather than the Americas, report scientists writing in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Missing link between fish and land animals discovered
(11/07/2008) A study published in the October 16 issue of Nature details research
into and implications of a fossil fish, Tiktaalik roseae, discovered
last year at Ellesmere Island in Canada. The Devonian fossil shows an
array of features found in both terrestrial and aquatic animals,
providing the best glimpse so far into the transitory period during
which vertebrates were able to adapt to life out of water. The find
provides some of the first osteological evidence of neck development,
a crucial adaptation to terrestrial life because it allows an animal's
body to remain stationary while it surveys its environment.
Past climate change drove mass extinction in Pakistan
(09/26/2008) Research on long-vanished mammals in the Siwalik region of Northern Pakistan has yielded results relevant for today. In the span of two-and-a-half million years climate change caused a shift in Siwalik habitat from wet monsoon forest to savannah, dooming over half the mammal species to local extinction. The research was published by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Researchers devise new comparison of mass extinction events
(09/02/2008) Researchers have created a new way to compare historical mass extinction events. The scoring system, presented in the early online edition of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, works by multiplying the number of taxa — species, genera, and families — that went extinct by the inverse of the time it took to produce a measure dubbed "greatness", which represents the magnitude of the event. Using the system, Celal Sengor and colleagues from Istanbul Teknik Universitesi of Turkey rank the Cretaceous-Tertiary (K-T) event — when the dinosaurs were extinguished in a flash by an asteroid strike or mass oceanic poisoning by a spasm of volcanic activity — as the greatest mass extinction in history. The Permian, which featured a greater loss of species (90-95 percent of marine species and 70 percent of land species) but played out over a longer period to time some 250 million years ago, ranks third after the Silurian, which occurred around 440 million years ago.
Humans - not climate - drove extinction of giant Tasmanian animals
(08/11/2008) Humans — not climate change — were responsible for the mass extinction of Australia's megafauna, according to a new study published this week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Humans, and global warming, responsible for extinction of mammoths
(03/31/2008) The combination of human hunting pressure and climate change was responsible for the extinction in woolly mammoths, claims new research published in the open-access journal PLoS Biology. Scientists have long debated whether climate change or human hunting were the more important driver in the demise of North America's megafauna towards the end of the last Ice Age. Now new modeling by David Nogues-Bravo, a biologist at the National Museum of Natural Sciences in Madrid, Spain, and colleagues supports the theory that synergistic effects of warming climate and new human predators drove mammoths to extinction.
10-pound 'Giant Frog From Hell' discovered in Madagascar
(02/18/2008) Researchers have discovered the remains of what may be the largest frog ever to exist.
Two strange carnivorous dinosaurs discovered in the Sahara

Recovery from worst mass extinction took 30M years
(01/20/2008) The recovery of complex ecosystems following history's worst mass extinction took 30 million years reports a study published last week in Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
2,000 pound rodent discovered
(01/16/2008) Scientists have discovered the remains of an extinct 2,000 pound rodent -- the largest rodent ever known. The find is described Wednesday in Britain's Proceedings of the Royal Society.
Despite Arctic crocodiles, glaciers existed during extreme global warming 90M years ago
(01/10/2008) Massive glaciers extended across 50-60 percent of Antarctica some 91.2 million years even as crocodiles roamed the Arctic and surface temperatures of the western tropical Atlantic Ocean climbed to 37 degrees Celsius (98 degrees Fahrenheit), reports a study published in the journal Science.
Evolution of whales challenged
(12/19/2007) Modern whales appear to have evolved from a raccoon-sized creature with the body of a small deer, according to scientists writing in the journal Nature. The results challenge the theory that cetaceans are descended from even-toed ungulates (artiodactyls) like hippos, as previous molecular analysis has suggested.
Prehistoric Carnivorous Fungi Lassoed its Prey
(12/13/2007) Scientists have discovered the oldest known carnivorous fungus, according to a study published in Science.
Massive carnivorous dinosaur discovered
(12/11/2007) A massive carnivorous dinosaur discovered in Niger has been described as a new species, according to research published in current issue of the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology.
Global warming may provoke evolution
(11/26/2007) Some 80 million years ago, during a period of global warming, a group of relatively immobile salamanders trekked from western North America to the continent that became Asia, report researchers writing in this week's issue of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Science.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.5
Poured from the bottle into a snifter glass. Batch Number CHI-3364-2 Best before Sept 2014.
A deep copper and red tinted orange body and fairly opaque. A faint tan head matches nicely almost with red hues, but is only one finger tall and and gives a good collar that looks thick and white.
Bouquet. So where's the chocolate? Bananas. Taffy sugar. Some vanilla creamy like character, just the faintest hint of chili like heat and spice it seems. But chocolate... nothing, maybe some faint cocoa barely.
Palate is interesting. A very milky and runny body, that really coats in a creamy chocolatey way. Hints of pepper and fruit like finish, chili, and spicy bitterness. The milky quality hints just to a little bit of wet texture though too unfortunately. As warmth comes there's some soft orange sour fruit and mellow hop bitterness that comes together.
It's an interesting beer, but it's chocolate angle is more akin to bitter fruit and chili warmth and mild bitterness, and the label seems very misleading. I am sure people are drinking this and thinking... brown or chocolate sugar expectations, but this has some real neat spice character, but chocolate is really just the secondary for the main act.

Poured from a corked 750 ml bottle into a Surly Darkness chalice. Label best by date of 09/2014.
Appearance: Pours a surprisingly light amber orange with a moderate amount of bubbles. Solid two fingers of off white head that quickly fade into a thin patchy layer. Leaves a decent amount of lacing.
Smell: A roasty and sweet malt forward aroma with big hints of chocolate and vanilla. Toasted malts with big hints of sweet chocolate and cacao nibs. Also some malt hints of caramel, toffee, biscuit, yeast, grains, oats, milk, wheat, and nuts. Sweet hints of brown sugar and vanilla. Subtle hints of earthy hops in the background. Very chocolate forward but doesn't smell like a stout. Interesting aroma.
Taste: Like it smells, a roasty and sweet toasty malt forward taste with big notes of chocolate and caramel. Upfront toasted malts with a big taste of sweet chocolate and cacao nibs. Notes of caramel, coffee, biscuit, toasted bread, yeast, grains, wheat, oats, milk, and nuts. Sweet notes of vanilla and brown sugar. Some earthy hop notes mingle in the background. Very forward with the chocolate and fairly dry. Tastes good.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with a high level of carbonation. Toasty, creamy, and pretty drying on the finish. Alcohol heat is hidden well.
Overall: A pretty interesting and good take on a chocolate beer. Lighter bodied but a big chocolate malt taste.

Poured out of a 750mL bottle into a tulip.
A: Others were surprised by the color...but this is not a stout. Dark coppery color, slightly hazy, active carbonation. Off white, foamy head, almost no retention, receded quickly to a decent ring at the glade edge, almost no lacing.
S: Chocolate and malt. The chocolate is a complementary aroma to the malts. Seems there is some happiness, but not distinct. Slightly boozy.
T: Chocolate stands out. Starts malty, but quickly turns over to chocolate, which builds into the finish and through the aftertaste. This is all about chocolate. No happiness at all in the flavors.
M: Medium to robust body. Carbonation on the palate is not as much as expected form the visible carbonation. Seems very balanced to the body. Slightly dry.
O: Unique and interesting. Wasn't sure if I'd like this, but the manager had 6 bottles, would only let me buy one, so i figured I was up for it. Glad I did. This is an ale, feels like it, drinks like it, but it's chocoaltey. Not like a milk shake, or a chocolate stout. It is an ale infused with chocolate flavor through and through. Very funky, in a really good way.

On tap at the 2014 Secret Stash Bash (Atlanta).
Pours clear dark amber. Very good head.
Nose is mainly rousted chocolate nibs. Chocolate really comes out in this ale.\: Ii's actually the main flavor component. Still, not as tasty as fine chocolate on its own, but an impressive brewing achievement.
Medium light body medium carbonation.

The color caught me off guard, I was expecting a dark brown or black body... What I got was a hazy rust colored body, that is topped with a fantastic, porous off-white head. The retention is poor though as the head was almost entirely gone in about a minute. No lacing and minimal carbonation.
When I close my eyes, I don't have to stretch the imagination much.. what I get is rich, sweet fondue chocolate. Heavy cocoa laced with fruit notes, mostly orange and strawberry. A bit of caramel is noticeable.
Unfortunately, the flavor profile isn't as well received as the aroma. Sweet notes of milk chocolate notes hit upfront, until darker chocolate hit bringing along with it some bitter notes. I get some fruit notes, but they aren't pronounced like they were in the aroma. For being 9%, the alcohol isn't detectable at all - unfortunately, this is the highlight. The chocolate notes mentioned are just not enjoyable and the aftertaste is that of cocoa powder with an almost chalky quality.
Smooth and easy to drink and surprisingly light-bodied. Light carbonation and semi-dry finish.
I was really looking forward to this, as I do all of Boulevard's Smokestack beers. To say I'm a fan of Boulevard is an understatement. Sadly, as I glared at the empty bottle, I wish I hadn't purchased it - a first for a BLVD beer. It's worth sampling, as it's unique enough to warrant the addition to your palette... BUT(!) I'd recommend going in on a bottle with a bunch of friends - finishing a bottle by yourself might prove a challenge otherwise.

During world long drive competitions Steve has hit drives over 395 yards. Steve still competes against the longest hitters in the world which includes PGA professionals, and is a 11 time RE/MAX world long drive finalist. This book consists of two very different parts. Part one is the story of Steve's 50 plus year golf career and the reasons why he learned to hit his drives farther than his peers. It also includes his 25-year quest to compare his driving skills with the competitors at the World Long Drive Championship. The second part contains detailed instructions about how Steve continues to hit a golf ball over 350 yards even into his mid 60s. He begins with some important lessons he learned during his amateur golf career that created the foundation required for him to win a RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship 35 years later. Steve's personal story includes frustrations, disappointments, bad information from a "friend", receiving support from an unlikely source, overcoming personal mental demons, and finally hitting the drive that won the 2005 Super Senior RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship.

CD/LP/Track Review
Billie Holiday: Lady Day: The Complete Billie Holiday On Columbia (1933-1944)
Like quite a few other sentimental favorites, Duke Ellington's composition epitomizes the feeling you get when Billie Holiday sings.
At the height of the swing era, Holiday's voice sparkled with an expressive sheen. By 1935, she had developed the characteristic vocal charm for which we'd remember her eternally. The period covered by these ten CDs was a prolific era for Holiday. Just about everybody recorded with her. A natural, well-done reproduction gives the collection added value. Holiday sings these songs her own way, working side by side with key soloists such as Ben Webster, Roy Eldridge, Johnny Hodges, Buck Clayton, Lester Young, Cootie Williams, Vido Musso, Charlie Shavers, Billy Kyle, Harry James, Bobby Hackett, Benny Carter, Hot Lips Page, Sweets Edison, Jonah Jones, Buster Bailey, Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman and Teddy Wilson. The bounce and swing of a two-step lends qualities that are sometimes forgotten. Maybe it reminds us of simpler times, when songs carried a message that you could remember, and improvised solos carried significant weight. It's a conversational method of interpreting popular songs. Members from the big bands of Duke Ellington, Count Basie and Benny Goodman became significant partners for Holiday's giant assortment of song interpretations. She and Lester Young shared many occasions. Most of Disc Three and Disc Four finds the pair together. The singer would convince the world with lyrics such as "I'm painting the town red to hide a heart that's blue" and "I'm all alone, singin' the blues and sighin'." Her interpretations have the ability to summon up those feelings in our hearts. Few singers are able to make such an impact. Coyly dramatic, Holiday's interpretations attach special memories to many of the songs. "Them There Eyes," "Nice Work if You Can Get It," "If You Let Me Down," "God Bless the Child" and "I Can't Believe You're In Love With Me" simply could not be matched by another. Billie Holiday has that effect on you. The songs have come from many directions. Most are from musical productions, such as Stars Over Broadway, King of Burlesque, Swing Time, Easy Living, Pennies From Heaven and On the Avenue. The moon seems to have cast its spell on this music, making its appearance in many of the song titles. It's all about romance and Billie Holiday's unique form of expression.
Each over an hour in length, the ten discs are organized with the original sessions appearing first, in chronological order. Repeats, alternate takes and air-checks begin halfway through the seventh disc. For those, the sound is just a little rusty in places.
The set offers many rare moments. Harry Carney fills fluidly on clarinet behind Holiday for "It's Like Reaching for the Moon." Buster Bailey supplies the same kind of empathy for "They Can't Take That Away From Me." For "I've Got a Date With a Dream," Lester Young trades sixteens on clarinet with trombonist Dicky Wells. Martha Tilton, Johnny Mercer, Billie Holiday and Leo Watson each sing a chorus of "Jeepers Creepers" with Benny Goodman and his orchestra. The arrangement includes an exciting bit of scat singing from Watson. Saxophonist Joe Thomas warms up to the singer as a complacent comrade for "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off." Guitarist Eddie Durham fills delicately behind Holiday with a natural timbre for the loping ballad "On the Sentimental Side." The light swing of "Night and Day" falls under the spell of Joe Sullivan's cascading piano. Lester Young and Benny Goodman pour out gentle interludes for "I Must Have That Man." Benny Carter fills on clarinet for "St. Louis Blues" and provides a luscious solo to complement Holiday's infectious swing portrayal of another W.C. Handy tune, "Loveless Love." That one includes the poignant lyric, "Love is like a hydrant, it turns off and on." Most of these songs were originally issued on the Brunswick, Vocalion and OKeh labels. Including dozens of photographs, biographical and musicological essays by Gary Giddins, Farah Griffin and Michael Brooks, the boxed set covers a lot of territory. By remembering the treasured singer, who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last year, this collection brings it all back. Her natural voice and casual phrasing made Billie Holiday easy to love.

Sunday, I decided to take down my spring wreath from my front door. I took it off the hanger and was swinging it off the door and screamed as I spotted a nest embedded within the wreath.
