LAUREL COUNTY, Ky. —
Three weeks from today, the hill where The Arena in Corbin sits will come alive with the sounds of gospel music.
That's because plans for the first-ever Corbin Gospel Music Concert are now in place.
The concert will be held at The Arena on Friday, April 26, at 6:45 p.m. Ten local gospel acts will perform at the concert, which organizers said would run about two-and-a-half hours, ending at 9:15 p.m.
Those groups and singers scheduled to perform will be The Believers Quartet and the Kentucky Mountain Trio, along with Josh Teague and Friends, and Straight Creek. Two sets of what's being called a "Talent Showcase" will also feature Timothy Maynes, Harlan Sexton and Gospel Grass, and Gary Cureton; as well as Peggy Inks, Donna Isaacs and Cara Miller.
After a welcoming and invocation, the concert will start off with the singing of "God Bless America" by Abbi Disney, a sixth-grade student from Corbin.
Organizers said it's a first for Corbin, and a first for The Arena. Rev. John Burkhart said during a press conference Thursday they hope the concert will be an annual event.
"This event is based on belief, based on the Gospel, and based on the music of the words of the Gospel. … We've been working on this event for 10 months. … This is a profound proclamation of our faith and of coming together for the Lord. We'll celebrate the Gospel in music," noted Burkhart, who is president of Corbin Gospel Music Concert Inc., a non-profit organization that's putting on the show.
Since his retirement as pastor of St. John's Episcopal Church in Corbin, Burkhart has helped as a promoter of concerts featuring gospel music singers and groups. During the press conference, he stated the tri-county region has an "enormous bond" with the music, and that the region's filled with lots of good, local talent.
By bringing the music and talent to a venue such as The Arena, Burkhart thought the timing for a large concert was now.
"I love the Gospel, and how it is sung. I love the simplicity of it. The basic core of the Gospel is there, and that Jesus is the Savior and is God's son. Anyone can step up and be involved in it, or sit back and listen to music that touches them and pulls them together. We have two gifts, an enormous endowment of gospel singers, and the extraordinary and unique facility that we have in The Arena. Together, it's a great promotion for Christian unity and a great promotion for the community," he said after the conference.
"One of our goals was to give these folks a chance to be on a big stage in front of a large audience. More than 150 groups have been on the stage at St. John's when John (Burkhart) had the shows at his church. The talent's been just as good as anywhere, but it's never been showcased," said Janus Jones, secretary of the organization and program chairman for the April 26 concert.
The organization's vice-president, Bob Terrell, said the idea of a gospel concert came about during a conversation he had with a friend at a Corbin restaurant.
"We were discussing the state of the world over a cup of coffee one morning, and it came up about the wealth of talent we have locally. We felt that those who are in the churches have a tremendous amount of talent in our region. We looked at a program in Tennessee that's been going on for 32 years, and it's a big event. We thought, we'll start out little, but someday it could grow and prosper over the years," he pointed out.
Terrell added Corbin Mayor Willard McBurney had expressed an interest in a local gospel music concert, and knew that Burkhart had talked about such a show being held in the city for a long time.
McBurney will welcome the audience to the concert after Disney's performance of "God Bless America."
The Arena's manager, Connie Hunt, will serve as concert hostess.
"Connie Hunt has been a tremendous help with the concert. In fact, she will serve as the emcee. She's made powerful contributions to this event," Burkhart said during the press conference.
The organization's treasurer, Herman Moore, brought up a question about why admission is being charged for the concert.
"People have asked, 'Why are we charging for this event?' That's because we have bills to pay. Renting The Arena for one night, insurance, promotion, expenses. We're not trying to make money; we're a non-profit organization," he stated.
Burkhart added, "It's a big event that costs $7,000 to put on, so we're doing everything we can to get the word out." He said several churches and groups have been contacted about buying blocks of tickets, and getting a reduced price by doing so. Moore reported one church from outside of the region — Frankfort Baptist Church in Frankfort — has already bought 160 tickets for the concert.
Individual ticket prices are $8, with children under 12 getting in free. Groups of 15 can purchase seats at $5 per ticket and they'll be recognized as Bronze Sponsors. Those who purchase 25-49 tickets will be recognized as Silver Sponsors, while those who purchase 50 or more tickets will be recognized as Gold Sponsors. All three sponsor levels will also be recognized in the concert program, which will include a photo and information about each of the individuals and groups appearing on stage.
Tickets are now on sale at The Arena box office in Corbin, or through Ticketmaster outlets or online at www.ticketmaster.com. You can also call Ticketmaster at 1-800-745-3000 for ticket information. For group ticket purchases, you can call Rev. John Burkhart at (606) 521-0345. And if you need concert information, you can call (606) 280-5494, or go online at www.thecorbinarena.com.
Burkhart summed up the concert three weeks from today by saying, "These last two or three weeks, we've had to sprint to the finish line. It takes a lot of effort to bring this all together. Anyone who has an appreciation of the Gospel, and appreciation of music, will find this program a profound experience. It's all the same message, and we praise the same Lord. It's His event."
Peggy Inks, a gospel music singer from London, who along with her husband, Don, are on the organization's concert board, added, "I want to thank everybody here for letting us be a part of this. When you sing a gospel song, you reach somebody."

Inside Collection (Course): ELEC 301 Projects Fall 2006
An implementation suggested by Reinhard in "Photographic Tone Reproduction for Digital Images," involves constructing circularly symmetric Gaussians of eight varying scales and convolving them (via multiplication in the frequency domain for speed improvement) with the image luminance values, which results in the production of eight Gaussain-blurred versions of the image with different degrees of blurring.
The equation used for the Gaussians is:
(Reinhard et al., 4)
The normalized error function for the difference between the image at one scale of blurriness and the next is iteratively evaluated at successive scale values, sm, where s = 1.6^Sm, until its absolute value exceeds the threshold of 0.05. The scale value one less than that causing the threshold to be exceeded (if sm=1 exceeds the threshold, the 1 is still kept) is then stored in the scale matrix, Sm(x,y). The paper provided a suggested threshold value of 0.05 that seemed to work well for most images although others were tried. The function below is evaluated at every pixel in the image, and a scale value is determined for each pixel, ranging from 1 to 8. The value for alpha1 is taken to be 0.3536 (approximation of 1/(2*sqrt(2))) par recommendation from the paper, and alpha2 is set to 1.6*alpha1 = 0.5657.
The equation used to construct the Sm matrix:
where |V| < 0.05 (Reinhard et al., 4).
Phi = 8.0 and a is the key value, set to 0.18 for most images. These values were suggested by the paper and adjusted to understand their effects, but phi = 8.0 was used for all final test images. The average luminance of the image tends to suggest the key value, a. In practice, it should be varied from about 0.09 to 0.36 (or sometimes more) for some darker or lighter photographs, respectively. The Vi values for i=1 and i=2, as used above, are calculated via convolution of the luminance values with the Ri Gaussians defined in the R(x,y,z) equation above. The equation representing this convolution is: Vi(x,y,s) = L(x,y) * Ri(x,y,s) (Reinhard et al., 4).
To produce the final image, the formula,
is evaluated over all x and y values of possible image positions (Reinhard et al., 4). The algorithm ultimately accomplishes a greater reduction in brightness for regions especially bright and a greater increase in brightness for regions that are especially dark. For example, for a dark pixel in a relatively luminescent region, L(x,y) < V1(x,y), therefore Ld(x,y) will decrease, increasing the contrast at that point. On the other hand, a bright pixel in a darker region will cause L(x,y) > V1(x,y), therefore Ld(x,y) will increase, subsequently increasing the contrast for this case as well.
In an effort to improve the algorithm, we changed the Ld equation above to
where C are scaling coefficients that can give more weight to the brightening or darkening effect for V1 because, with some images, the effects are not strong enough with our original implementation of the algorithm. This is very effective on some images where regions with similar sm values have similar brightness, and the coefficients could be determined by hand or by another algorithm from the sm(x,y) matrix. On more complex images, Sm values correlate with similar brightness only on local regions so C(sm(x,y)) would have to also depend on x and y independent of sm and therefore become, C(sm(x,y),x,y).
(Photo from nine-image set in "IRIS TUTORIAL: Comet High Dynamic Range imagery Application to total eclipse processing" -- http://www.astrosurf.com/buil/iris/tutorial19/doc41_us.htm)
Fig. 1: Global Linear Operator:
Fig. 2: Using original operator based on Reinhard paper (equivalent to C = {1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1}):
Fig. 3: Using final equation with C = {-2,-2,-1,4,4,4,4,4}:
Here, setting C to something different that {1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1} is rather effective at pulling down the extremely bright window even more. It works pretty well since the high-valued region of Sm(x,y) corresponds to a similar sm value in the same (x,y) rectangular-bounded region in all color channels.
Scale Matrix Examples (Longer wavelength color corresponds to higher Sm(x,y) value):
The images below show an example of how an HDR image of a window scene was broken into different scale regions by the algorithm: dark blue = 1, light blue = 2, cyan = 3, yellow = 4, orange = 5, and dark red = 6.
The Sm matrix values show how the overly bright window region was easily isolated with the C vector:
Fig. 4: Red:
Fig. 5: Green:
Fig. 6: Blue:
Example 2:
(Photo from three-image set taken by Robert Ortman in Banff National Park, Canada)
Fig. 7: Global Linear Operator:
Fig. 8: Using original operator based on Reinhard paper (equivalent to C = {1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1}):
Fig. 9: Using final equation with C = {1 1 1 1.5 4 4 4 4}:
In this case, the operator based on the paper renders the grass and trees part better since it increases the luminance in those regions relatively well, but it does worse than the global linear operator on the clouds: it has not decreased luminance nearly enough in that region. Attempting to use the C vector to help reduce extra cloud luminance also fails here because the Sm regions computed for the clouds do not correspond very well for across color channels. In particular, the blue channel had a clearly high-valued region that could have it's brightness selectively reduced, but applying this equally across all color channels results in discoloration. Applying the increased weight of luminance reduction to the regions represented in yellow and orange below across all color channels darkens blue (the most) and red much more than green, leaving the green and yellow (red+green) patches showed above.
The Sm matrix values clearly explain the discoloration:
In both example photos above, the operator based on the Reinhard paper tended to outperform the global linear operator in some parts and fail in others. In some cases, it can be easy to fix with the introduction of the C vector, but ultimately, there must be a better way.

Handbottled 12 oz courtesy of Footbalm. Thank you, Eric. The aroma is sweet malt, hard candy with cherry notes, caramel and a touch of smoke that gets a little plastic smelling. Still a decent smelling brew all in all. The body is a very dark dull brown and it holds a thumb thick tan head that is fairly diminishing.
Smokey, malty sweet with caramel notes int he fore. Some bitterness in the middle and then a lot of fruit sweetness on the back end before finishing smokey again. It has a very creamy mouthfeel. The smokiness gets to be too much for me, but there are a lot of very positives elements here.

Town Hall had a vintage keg from 2008 last night.
Pours a beige head. Decent retention. Color is a dark cooper.
Aroma: Very peaty and smokey. It is pretty malty with notes of caramel and bready. Some oak shows.
Taste: Very similar to the nose. Very peaty and smokey. It has a bacon flavor that I find in Rauchbiers. I also get some oak notes. I was surprised with this one. I guess this was a more traditional version of the beer. Pretty malty. Not very hoppy.
Mouthfeel: Smokey and smooth. A bit warming. Medium to full bodied with a medium amount of carbonation.
Overall, this was a good beer, but it just wasn't what I was expecting. It was much more traditional than any other wee heavy I have had. I enjoyed it.

Went to Town Hall expecting to down a few pints. Mission accomplished!
A: A dark burnt umber colored body with a head that quickly dissipates to the familiar salivary pool that beckons you to drink it. Lacing was present, not spectacular, spotty at best. The reddish hue makes this beer warm on a cold January day.
S: When I think Wee Heavy I think of big caramel and smoke notes, but this was a little underwhelming. I was greeted with molasses, caramel, touch of smoke, alcohol, low hop profile. Decent aroma, just doesn't want make me want to drown my nose in it.
T: This beer is pretty malt forward with a layered sweetness that produces some caramel, molasses, and cherries. The smoke is pretty subdued in this beer and the finish at first slightly bitter possesses some vinous qualities.
M: Notable carbonation, but the body could use more viscosity to it. Syrupy feeling on the tongue in coordination with the malt profile.
D: If it weren't winter in Minnesota I'd be hesitant to order a 10 oz pour of this again. Decent offering from Town Hall.

This beer pours a dark mahogany color. The head is small, but a nice cap of lacing sticks around until the beer is gone. The aroma is of nuts, caramel, vanilla, and toffee. The taste is like the aroma with a mellow, long lasting finish. The mouthfeel is full bodied with lively carbonation, and a silky texture. Overall, this is a nice wee heavy. I would certainly drink this again.

12oz hand bottled sample lifted from a growler filled at the Brewpub. Thanks Harry!
Some active carbonation, a greyish head was quick to form off a slow pour. Most only lasted as a thin blanket but it was always quick to re-assemble on swirling. Spotty lacing. Dark, deep burgundy colour, only transparency comes when held directly to the light. Great aroma - sticky malts, hop resin, great molasses, large dose of peet. A coating of burnt, ashy coating. Mouthfeel lightly syropy. No alcohol noticeable. Taste is very impressive! A great malt bill with all the character of the aroma. A little thin in the mouthfeel but quite robust in the taste. A little metallic, result of the water? Bitterness only on the finish. Nice resonance of molasses and peet. Not only true, but fantastic representation of the style.

Originally reviewed on 1/17/07. On tap at the brewpub. Light crisp malt aroma, with some edges of pan-seared carmelization. Ruby brown pour, very clear, with a rim of ivory. Flavor is a surprisingly dry, smokey preserved fruit, with a lot of aromatic malt character. Theres a certain smokiness that jumps out at me right off the bat, but its ethereal and clean, as if from a luxury cigarette or something. A little woodsy and touch of peat. At first, Im really down about this beer. It seems too dry, too one dimensional. But, as I drink it grows on me. Im used the the coarse grainy sugars of the style, with a lot of residual caramelly sweetness. Instead, I have this really drinkable, refined beverage with all the subtle, yet unique and definable characters, that take time to grow on me. Gentle vinous notes ebb from the tide and leave a grapeskin and strawberry residue. Faint chocolate-mint character grows. It took me a while to realize what a good beer this is. A lilting song of gentle warming smoke, dispersive sweet caramels and light husky phenols carol along in the night, with phenomenal drinkability and true uniqueness. Towards the end, the number closes with a cusp of minty dryness, for that longing hop balance. Nicely attenuated and any aging really melds this beer into a beauty.

Glad I got a growler of this one. I hadn't made it a priority to get a Wee Heavy, but quickly noticed my mistake on Saturday. A dark brown ale with garnet highlights around the edges make a clear impression early--light brown head is thin and disappears but the smell attacks the nose: alcohol, plums, raisins, smokey peat, and tones of malt. Dive in and more of the same, though it is sticky sweat, probably too sweet for some. I can see from the range of reviews that it is very much a matter of taste on this one. If you're into big barleywines, and don't mind the syrupy base to your beer, this is a good one--don't have a sweet tooth, move along.

Another fine growler from my Town Hall hookup BA JeffKrenner.
A: What I imagine chocolate cola would look like. The body is very still and the carbonation on the low end. I fine film tops the ceiling of the brewing with a dark beige ring surrounding the glass.
S: Cherries, oak sap, Hershey's syrup, smoked peat and molasses. This is quite intriguing.
T: Begins very peated and smoky like a nice scotch. Deep chocolate saturates ripe red berries, dark plums and fermented raisins. Next comes cold smoked caramel with more abundant and striking dark red fruits. The theme here is peat though and it shines through after every sip. Some smoked beers the palate adjusts to the smokiness but not this one. Finishes sweet and slick with more oily cold smoked fruits and warm, inviting alcohol esters.
M: Medium mouthfeel, really smooth with a delicate carbonation.
D: I'm enjoying this quite a bit. I'll kill this growler tonight.

Into a tulip glass, was poured a deep russet brown approaching almost black with a nice white fluffy head, some reddish color, some nice lacing as the brew receded. Aroma is yummy, heavy fruits, syrupy molasses, sweet malts, lovely. Taste is even better, a malty beast, warm alcohol and smooth mouth inviting flavors of sweet sugars and dark fruits, syrupy, sweetly, lovingly malty. I'm entering a short wee heavy phase, and I'm liking it! This is a tasty brew, and if I hadn't already had so much to drink, I'd have another.
1/8/08: Upon further review, the mouth is a bit better than before, and more drinkable, both up .5 from before.

Murky, ruddy-amber and quite dark in color. Clear but not brilliant. Nose is all about the malts . . . pretty hard to fathom as it'spoured cold, but there's a nice subtle tang in there too. Quite sweet, yet there's a nice lightly cleansing carbonation that makes this seem lighter on the first sip than it actually is. Smooth and creamy mouthfeel, and a bit slick/oily and yet coating the tongue in a dense, treacly way (and it's best if you like that, or this is a long sip!) A light touch of that iodine quality that you either love, hate, or don't notice in this style. Personally I dig it, but it's understated enough here (at least seeing as this is fresh at the moment) to where it won't be too funky for the newbies to the style. An ever so slight lactic tang here, but it's more of a Granny Smith sourness. Syrupy in a good way, and with whiskey, molasses, and vanilla notes. Rather full-bodied, but on-style and with very good drinkability for the style as well.A toutch of boubon in here also . . . but I'd hate to see this put into a boubon cask to enhance a natural and fairly distinct light touch. Great stuff!

I am sampling from a 1/2 gallon growler from feloniousmonk. Thanks man!
I am drinking a chilled sample in a 10 oz snifter.
The beer pours a deep clear mahogany with heavy garnet hues tinting the brew when held up to the lite.
A small tightly packed beige head of 1 cm foams up and fades fairly quickly. Leaves only a minimal edge layer after only a minute or so.
Aroma is all malt and then some! I get caramel and brown sugar lightly covering a faint raisin scent that only adds to the generally sweet smell. No hops to be found and I didnt expect to find them here either.
First sip reveals a thick syrupy body with very fine tingling carbonation. Flavor is just as the nose suggests. Malt. I am hit by a gust of sweet caramel and toffee mixing with a molasses flavor rushing into my mouth. Very smooth and sweet. Not really super sugary but more of a brown sugar/molasses taste. I actually ponder how this would taste with pancakes. I really enjoy this but I dont think this is a beer for everyone. If you like hops look elsewhere. The sweetness could definitley be a little overwhelming and I wonder if I can finish this jug on the counter in a sitting. I enjoy the beer but dont think I could drink a lot of it.

Pours deep very clear garnet, ruby and auburn shades. Small bubbled, light ecru head that dissipates to leave a small ring of lace around the pint.
Aroma is an enormous waft of carmelized malt and sticky toffee with just a hint of smokey charcoaled peat and some hexnut in the background.
Flavors of caramel and toffee and brown sugar predominant to start but as the flavor progresses and nuttiness and some tiwnges of smokey peat emerge, very muted but just there, subtle.
Mouthfeel is intially lighter than others of the style but the sweetness builds into a crescendo that is just barely muted by a charcoal and slightly resined bitter and faint hint of grain alcohol.
Nougat like aftertaste as well as a warming hint of alcohol spice. Very warming.
Drinkability is enormously high. Sweeter than average of style but it carries it off very nicely with complex malt profile and just damn good taste. Another winner from the folks at Town Hall

On-cask at the brewpub: 10oz snifter - Wow, what a difference from the tapped version...yum!
Color is about the same with a darker chestnut hue and amber-esk highlights instead of the darker hues of crimson I saw in the tapped version. Head is a nicely fluffed cream of sandy brown about a pinky high and remained for a good while. Lacing inclined to stick more as well.
Aroma is a heavenly whiskey soaked chocolate cherry cheesecake and we'll leave it at that. Boozy, but in check.
Taste is a great boubon, smokey peat, dark cherry thing laced with a favorable caramel malt. The malts are not such a mess this time, much more order has taken place and the striking bourbon flavors and heat more then help make it all come to together, but just sets it apart from many other Scotch ales. Lovely layers underneath the bourbon, with chocolate, caramel, dark cherry, prune, tobacco, pine, and Scotch itself. Borderline rum-like alcohol, but I get mostly a twist of bourbon and Scotch together over all the other good stuff going on here. It's quite a melange of goodness. The tapped version perhaps was a bit to messy and was tougher to distinguish what was really going on. But this, this is magnificent. As I continued drinking it, it became more and more remarkable. The heat and smokey/earthy peat that it has is perfect. It shadows a bit of J.W. Lee's Harvest Ale with the way it plays out. Perhaps not as thick or chewy as a J.W., but the flavors are pretty darn close.
Again, 10oz was not enough.
A warm and wintery thanks goes to the Felonious one for sharing a brief luncheon with me and picking up the tab for this one.

Growler filled and provided in trade by StuBob. Thanks for the opportunity.
Poured somewhat hard into an imperial pint glass, a frothy 3/4" tan head formed over the barely translucent dark reddish mahogany brew. Head hangs around after losing half its height, and leaves layers of thick, foamy lace along the entire height of the glass. Aroma is sweet malts, coupled with slightly fruity alcohol essence. Taste is also sweet malts, sharing time with alcohol. Seems a bit strong in that department for me, but maybe this ain't so wee a heavy. Mouthfeel is creamy smooth, although losing some ground when the abv kicks in, and drinkability boths benefits and suffers from the same. A nice brew, which with a few tweaks for my personal palate, could be a great one. Try it if you can.

I've yet to have a beer that appeals to me this much more on cask than it did pushed. I had the pleasure of trying one of these on cask today and found it very much more to my liking than the growler I reviewed a couple weeks ago.
The mouthfeel is very nice. Supple and unassuming. Glides over the tongue effortlessly. I was surprised at how quickly this was gone. And in different circumstances, I'd easily have put back a few more (and a LOT more if transportation was set up for me). The taste was quite chocolatey. Less boozy than my growler and more malty. A little rummy. And just a bit of vanilla. Just a very enjoyable beer.

On tap at the brewpub...
Dark somewhat dusky brown, a little light comes through at the bottom. Head settles down in a minute, a skim on the surface of the pint. Laces in small spots on the glass. Big aroma, malts loom on top of a wine-like nose with a touch of raspberry thrown in. Yeah, this is heavy all right -- thick with a German chocolate cake presence, black instant coffee coming through the speckly but fat texture. Finishes with some heat and some dark prune-like flavors. Syrupy in the finish. A big beer to be sure, I look for lighter and more toffee-ish malts in this style, this one kind of explodes and seems more like a big "everything but the kitchen sink" exaggeration of a brew.

1/2 G Growler.
Pours to a dark, clear cherrywood. The head is modest, and tan-ish while it lasts.
Squirts molasses, vanilla extract, booze-drenched cherries, caramel glazings, bandaids, and boggy lowlands into the nose.
In one word, this is damp. Full of malt and malt and malt, but never clingy. The ringers here are gooey caramel and cherry skins. Everything else is a backdrop. Oh, there's a good deal of vanilla pod too. And, I guess, chocolate as it warms. But beyond that, everything is trace. Trace toffee. Trace mocha. Trace plum. Trace burnt pear. Trace red apple. Trace buttered pumpernickel loaf. Trace smoked ham. Trace fruit punch gummi bears. Trace damp earth. Trace cigar. Trace rum cake. Trace shots of Jim Beam. Trace brown sugar.
There is nothing noteworthy, hop-wise.
Despite this, it never cloys or tends towards the oversweet. The body coats the tongue like diluted syrup. If anything, it could use additional heft and carbonation, or simply a cask draw. But on the upside, the feined lightness of body makes this flow greased down the neck, despite its brawn.
I like this. It's not a classic Wee Heavy. Just a liquid desert.
Big ups to the TsHUGEami for this one.

Dark brown in color with ruby highlights when held to the light. No head what so ever, just a ring of white...no lacing. The aroma sweet and somewhat sugary, with a sour apple-like smell. It is also malty and has a molasses aroma. The flavor is malty sweet and fruity, with a peaty and molasses-like taste. It is not really woody, but it has earthy tones to it. It is medium in body and smoooth drinking for its strength. A very nice winter warmer after the big snow fall we just got.

Dark plummy color, with cherry edges. largely opaque, with a thick at first, though thinning, yet durable tan head atop.
Roasty, bittersweet espresso in the aroma, quickly eclipsed by molasses and dates, a rich, sweetness,sticky, sappy (not in the sense of being maudlin or trite, but being like the leaking of a maple tree), and nearly indulgent, ...avoids resembling treacle, comes off sophisticated and very inviting.
The indulgence begins for real in the flavor, malt is king here, dark chocolate and toffee tones are felt foremost, carob, molasses, very full on the tongue, and tangy. This one washes luxuriously, almost sloppily around the mouth, but it's a so delightfully pungent in taste, I take pleasure in the mess. The 8.5% abv shines a little half-way into the glass, but doesn't stick out too clumsily. The warming attributes are well-appreciated,and expertly timed. (Mid-January in Minneapolis...it gets a little cold, you know.) Whiskey tastes come to mind, a little cognac, but the real flavor is a cross between dark Jamaican rum and port wine.
This is so tasty...so very nice...there, I've run out of things to say, and will simply state the obvious.
Due to it's strength, this one is being served only in 10 ounce portions at the pub, yet here I sit at home with a whole growler to myself...how much damage can I do?
Just kidding, I'll cap the thing and dole out it's goodness to stave off the chill and serve as reward for any accidental good I might do in the day.
I think we have a winner here..no surprise, coming from Hoops!

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"I ordered these place cards in purple for my August wedding and could not be happier with them. The paper and print quality is excellent and delivery was fast. I also really liked how they email you a copy of the proof to make sure you do not have any changes. I would definetly recommend this product to others!"
"WPD had tons of styles and options to choose from. Finally settled on this design. We had some customization requests on what text was printed on the cards. The designers emailed me the next day with a proof and it was perfect. Thanks for a great experience and hassle free purchase."
"I ordered the Antique Border invitations in the dark red colour and got these for our reception to match. I asked WeddingPaperDivas to take off the Table.... so we just had the two border lines and I wrote names on the cards. They looked great, very classic and simple and the paper quality was excellent - easy to fold and the cards stood up really well."
"I love this whole suite! I got these in the Raspberry color with Majestic font. The place cards will really bring the theme together. There are sturdy and the print is perfect! These will look great at my destination wedding. The shipping was fast and the personalization was perfect."

Reviews for Enchilada Dip(7)
Sort By :
When i make this, i end up giving the recipe out because people rave about it. I just make taco meat instead of making the seasoned hamburger mix.
this dip was excellent. i took it to my friends cookout and everybody and encluding me and my husband enjoyed it.i didnt have cornchips but i added extra tortilla chips for the top then the sourcream and cheese but next time all put on the cornchips. this recpie desevices more than 5 stars i give it 7 stars it was allmost gone at the end of the day and all defently make this again soon. thanks for the recpie.
Husband gave it a thumbs up - which is hard to do. I did add green chili's just to give it a little kick, but I also used mild enchilada sauce, so they may not be need if I had used a hotter sauce.
I've been making this for years, and it never fails to amaze people. I love using up leftover chili in this recipe! It's quick and easy!
I loved this quick & easy recipe. I added some chopped jalepeno for a spicy kick and used real hamburger meat that I seasoned. Everyone thought I slaved over this dish for hours! This dish was devoured in minutes.

Currently on page 670 of IT on my first reading. I am loving it despite the fact that I put off reading this one and I have been reading Stephen King for over 15 years. I am going to take a break from SK after this for awhile and read some other authors. I plan to read Duma Key, Desperation and The Regulators when I start up again.
Just starting Blockade Billy on page 20. Got it on discount so i couldnt pass it up!
I am reading Different Seasons for the second time. I am on Apt Pupil and I think I might have skipped it the first time around because it isn't sounding familiar at all!
Halfway through and loving my second read of The Drawing of the Three, the first being twenty-odd years ago. Although I loved it to bits back then, for some reason I never kept up with the series (although I bought the Grant first edition of The Waste Lands as soon as it came out, so obviously I had intended to). Remedying that now, and aim to have finished Wizard and Glass just in time to carry straight on with The Wind Through the Keyhole.
On my second go-around with Thinner.
Finished Christine and UR audiobooks yesterday. Looking for something new to start.
Re reading Duma Key. Preparing myself for summer season.
Yes, I got my brother started on the gunslinger... and I'm so jealous. All of that discovery, emotion, fascination ahead of him...
I'm reading Everythings Eventual right now- collection of short stories. Its been fun so far and I'm ecstatic that the current story is about Roland: the sisters of Eluria
Just finished a reread of The Regulators another great book. Have now started my second read of 11.22.63.
Can't wait for those trips down that Rabbit Hole!

Step up to the challenge of our arts, sciences, professional and graduate programs, and achieve more than you ever imagined. Be challenged and transformed by professors who are experts in their fields and invest their lives at Cedarville to mentor and guide students like you.
T.S. Eliot asserts, "Wide reading...is valuable because in the process of being affected by one powerful personality after another, we cease to be dominated by anyone, or by any small number."
In addition, theologian Michael S. Horton notes, "Those who do not care to read secular books will be impoverished and will be susceptible to subtle and indirect seduction, while those who do not carefully study Scripture will lose their only plumb line for judging truth from error, belief from unbelief, right from wrong."
Recognizing the truth inherent in Eliot's and Horton's perspectives and recognizing that great writing stems from reading great writing, the CU Writing Center encourages the CU campus to read a book of literature a month.
And it won't just be novels. We'll throw in poetry, nonfiction, and plays, too.
Books to make you think. Books that are beautifully written. Books that may, or may not, be "Christian." Books whose styles and ideas will trickle through the veins of your minds, through your fingers, and into your own words.
You must read to write (well).

Letters and Life: On Being a Writer, On Being a Christian by Brett Lott New York Times Best-Selling Author Reviews
A reprise of two of this year's authors!
As always, the writing center will give out five FREE copies of these books each month to the first five students who come and meet with tutors and ask for one!
Letters and Life is nothing less than an invaluable gift to the body of Christ. Let no serious believer who aspires to serious writing neglect to read it and to be encouraged, instructed, and blessed by it. A wise, wonderful, and desperately needed primer on what it means to be a genuine Christian writer and artist. Eric Metaxas, New York Times best-selling author, Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy
Bret Lott has dared to write an impossible book—a serious and candid set of meditations on what it means to be a Christian writer living in a secular society that neither respects nor even understands his faith. I can hardly imagine a more difficult topic or a more necessary one. Letters and Life has the courage to explore a question at the heart of contemporary culture: How do we reconcile the spirit and the imagination? Dana Gioia, poet; former Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts
Bret Lott is one of America's finest writers and editors; this book reveals him to be one of our greatest mentors to writers of faith, as well. Letters and Life brims with wisdom and advice to all who bear the call toward an authentic journey of a writer. It is a gift for all readers who desire to know more about the creative process and to infuse their creativity into their lives.Makoto Fujimura, Founder, International Arts Movement and Fujimura Institute; artist; author

does feel that success – as well as the Cup Winners' Cup win in 1991 - provided enough momentum and confidence to push on for the inaugural Premier League title in 1993.
"People were speaking about that at the time when we played Nottingham Forest and thankfully Mark Robins scored the goal and we went on to win the FA Cup that year, which gave the players at United a little bit of confidence to go on," recalls Bryan.
"But then the next season, I really do believe that beating Barcelona in the Cup Winners' Cup final gave the lads the real motivation and confidence to go on and win the title. Thankfully, Sir Matt Busby was still alive at that time because after 26 years, the title was the one that everybody wanted and Sir Alex delivered it. The rest of his success is in the history books."

New technologies offer services and opportunities that previous generations could not have imagined. But they also introduce serious privacy risks. CDT believes that if these risks are addressed early on and if practical and consumer-conscious frameworks are developed alongside these new technologies, then consumers can take advantage of all that innovation has to offer without having to worry about what they are giving up in return. From cloud computing to the growing use of Deep Packet Inspection by ISPs, CDT aims to find workable solutions that demonstrate that innovation and privacy are anything but mutually exclusive.

Tankless Water Heater Repair Advice: this article explains concerns, problems, & special characteristics of tankless water heaters, also called instant water heaters or "on demand" water heaters. Readers should also see ALTERNATIVE HOT WATER SOURCES to distinguish among these types of hot water producing systems. Portions of this article were provided courtesy of Carson Dunlop - that text has been edited and may not entirely reflect CD's views. Page top sketch of a point of use tankless water heater courtesy of Carson Dunlop Associates. Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2014 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved. Tankless Water Heater Problems & DefectsTankless Water Heater Maintenance CostsConventional water heaters are relatively inexpensive due to their simplicity while tankless water heaters are more expensive to purchase and install. In 2009 in Toronto, Ontario a high capacity instantaneous water heater installation could cost $4000. CDN. Their complexity also means that maintenance and repairs can be more expensive. Dedicated isolating valves help simplify draining and other regular maintenance. Fuel Supply for Tankless Water HeatersThe water heater must have a continuous fuel supply. Malfunctioning burners, sensors or controls will cause poor operation or may result in the system not working at all, meaning no hot water. Tankless Water Heater Scale Build-up Will Reduce Hot Water FlowThe small diameter of the heat exchangers means that these units are susceptible to clogging with scale, especially in areas with hard water. In hard water areas, annual de-scaling is recommended. As with tank-type water heaters, some manufacturers recommend regular flushing - a step that removes sediment and debris from the heater, not scale. Tankless Water Heater Dirty Filter Will Reduce Hot Water FlowIf the heater is equipped with a water filter, usually an in-line screen that can be removed, inspected, and cleaned. The demand water heater filter screen should be checked and cleaned monthly, or performance will suffer. Tankless Water Heater Hot Water Supply May Not be ConstantConsumer Reportsreports that some tankless water heaters do not heat continuously and constantly. If a particular model has this problem users will find that in the shower the water runs in cold bursts from time to time. Watch out: In our own tankless water heater installation experience in the U.S. & Mexico [TANKLESS WATER HEATER INSTALLATION] we have confirmed that there can be hot water constancy & flow regulation problems, particularly in low-pressure tankless water heater installations. Depending on exactly how hot and cold water pipes are routed to the tankless water heater and to various plumbing fixtures in a building, low pressure tankless water heater units are sensitive to reductions in water flow rate when additional plumbing fixtures are in operation in the same building. The result can be complete cessation of hot water (the heater turns off on a too-low-flow-rate condition) or difficulty balancing the proper hot water temperature by attempts to mix cold water in at the shower or sink where hot water is in use. We suspect that for this reason, after about 2004, Bosch stopped selling low pressure tankless water heaters in the U.S. However as recently as in 2012 these units continue to be sold and installed in other countries including Mexico where some homes depend on low water pressure delivered from a (not very high) rooftop water storage tank. These low water pressure problems can be addressed by
Tankless Water Heater Cold Water Sandwich Effect ExplainedDepending on how you use your demand hot water heater, an unpleasant jolt of cold water often occurs when water is turned on and off fairly quickly. This can happen at a kitchen sink when rinsing dishes or at the bathroom basin while washing and shaving, for example. Rinnai™, a maker of tankless water heaters explains the cold water sandwich effect as follows: Tankless Water Heater Maximum Hot Water Flow Rate & incoming water temperatureThe hot water flow rate is not only dependent on the heating capacity of the water heater and the output water temperature, but also on the inlet water temperature. Homes in northern climates draw water from colder water supplies, and since it takes longer to heat up colder water, tankless water heaters installed in these homes will have lower hot water flow rates. The design temperatures for many water heaters is 60 deg. F. but in northern climates (Toronto, Ontario, or Two Harbors MN), the incoming water temperature may be 50 deg.F. or even as low as 40 deg.F. ...

1:15-2:15 – PANEL ONE Formation and Defense of National Identity
Discussant: Ted Huters
In this panel, we juxtapose presentations related to the formation of national identity in the past and present, in a context of military tension. How does the imagination of a military or political threat encourage new strategies of self-portrayal at home?

2:30-4:15 – PANEL TWO Globalizing China
Discussant: Andrea Goldman
How have different institutions and customs changed to accommodate new visions of China's place in a global community? What can we learn from tensions or changes produced (or not produced) in the process of contact with new or different modes of social organization? Is China's uniqueness or strangeness more imagined than real? Can we learn something in particular about widespread or global trends through their manifestations in China?
