text: The files in this directory are concerned with hetrodyne filter analysis of sound, and the formation of control files for Csound reconstruction using ADSYN. The analysis program takes only integer sound samples, such as are produced by the standalone 'sndin' utility. Compiling and running that utility requires the UCSD/carl support programs (see ../../utils/sndin.dir). The ADSYN unit is not in final form. I expect to be changing the control format at some time, merging it with fuller phase vocoder analysis still later in the future. bv

Watertown is a city in the state of New York and the county seat of Jefferson County. It is situated approximately 20 miles (35 km) south of the Thousand Islands, and 70 miles north of Syracuse, NY. As of the 2010 census, it had a population of 27,023, an increase of 1.2% since 2000. The U.S. Army post Fort Drum is near the city.
Named after the many falls located on the Black River, the city developed early in the 19th century as a manufacturing center. From years of generating industrial wealth, in the early 20th century the city was said to have more millionaires per capita than any other city in the nation. Residents of Watertown built a rich public and private architectural legacy. It is the smallest city to have a park designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, the celebrated landscape architect who created Central Park in New York City.
Geographically, Watertown is located in the central part of Jefferson County. It lies 72 miles (116 km) northeast of Syracuse, New York and 31 miles (50 km) south of the Ontario border. The city is served by Watertown International Airport.
The city is known as the birthplace of the Five and dime and the safety pin, and is the home of Little Trees air fresheners. It manufactured the first portable steam engine. It has the longest continually operating county fair in the United States and holds the Red and Black football franchise, the oldest surviving semi-professional team in the United States.
The city of Watertown was settled in 1800 by pioneers from New Hampshire, most notably Hart Massey, Henry Coffeen, and Zachariah Butterfield, part of a large migration into New York from New England after the American Revolutionary War. These pioneers chose the area due to the Black River. The pioneers' vision was for an industrial center that would draw power from the Black River. All the land was rough and unclear. Elevation was also a problem. The western end of the town was 12 to 15 feet (3.7 to 4.6 m) higher than the eastern end, with a large depression in the middle. A small stream also passed through the town.
Within a few years, the center of town was cleared for the ambitious Public Square.[3] Together with the 19th century structures that created a streetscape around it, this has been designated a historic district listed on the National Register of Historic Places. As industry and businesses flourished, residents built substantial retail buildings, churches and private residences. The Paddock Arcade, built in 1850 according to European and US models, is the oldest continuously operating enclosed mall in the United States. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, as are several significant churches and private mansions.
The drop in the Black River at Watertown's location provided abundant water power for early industry. By the mid-19th century, entrepreneurs had built paper mills and major industries, including the first portable steam engine in 1847. In 1851, the city was joined to the state by the railroad. Other mills rapidly joined the business base and generated revenue to support early public works projects like the water system and illuminating gas works in 1853, and a telephone system in 1879.
Watertown claims that Rodman native Frank W. Woolworth conceived the idea of his mercantile chain while working there in 1878. Woolworth, employed as a clerk in Moore's Store, set up a successful clearance display of low-priced items. This led to his idea of a store specializing in fixed-price, cut-rate merchandise. Woolworth left Watertown and opened his first store in Utica, New York in 1879.
Among the many manufacturing businesses was the Davis Sewing Machine Company, which originated in Watertown. It was predecessor to George P. Huffman's Huffy Corporation (NYSE: HUF), now an American maker of bicycles and other sporting goods.
In 1805 Watertown became the county seat of Jefferson County, New York, and it was made an incorporated village in 1816. In 1869, Watertown was incorporated as a city. In 1920, the city adopted a city manager style of government. The Jefferson County Courthouse Complex is an example of the substantial architecture of the city, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. An early industrial city that earned great wealth for many of its citizens by the turn of the 20th century, Watertown also developed an educated professional class of doctors and lawyers.
A number of factors affected Watertown's progress. The economic center of the country kept moving west, and Chicago drew off many of its younger people for business and professional opportunities. Industrial technology shifted and jobs changed. In the deindustrialization of the mid-20th century, Watertown suffered economic and population declines.
The city has been working in recent decades to redevelop its downtown and revive the heart of the city. It is capitalizing on its rich architectural heritage, compact and walkable retail center, and well-designed residential areas.
Today the city serves as the commercial and financial center for a large rural area. It is the major community closest to Fort Drum and the post's large population. Since the city is located just 25 miles (40 km) from the international boundary via the Thousand Islands Bridge, shopping by Canadian visitors is an important part of the local economy.
In 2013, the Watertown City Council made headlines by voting to make it illegal for residents to have roommates of any sort - based on a single complaint from one woman. It remains to be seen if future legal battles over the ruling will resolve what is seen by many as a serious over-reach of government into the lives of Watertown citizens.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 9.3 square miles (24 km2). 9.0 square miles (23 km2) of it is land and 0.3 square miles (0.78 km2) of it (3.45%) is water.
The Black River flows westward through the city toward Lake Ontario. The Black River is a world-renowned kayaking destination. Competition-level kayaking events, such as the Blackwater Challenge, have been held on the river.
By tradition, the city's name was derived from the abundant water power available from the river. Businesses harnessed water power to create one of the early industrial centers in New York. Paper mills were historically a major industry for the city and contributed to its 19th-century wealth.
Jefferson Community College (JCC) is located in the western part of the city near the fairgrounds.

Arts and culture[edit]
- New York State Zoo at Thompson Park. Founded in 1920, the mission of the New York State Zoo is to promote the conservation of wildlife and wild places by helping community members build positive sustainable relationships with nature. The zoo offers special events, classes, parties and picnics.
- Thompson Park. The historic Thompson Park itself is a large, city-owned public park featuring tennis courts, playgrounds, a public pool, multiple picnic areas, large open fields which host various sports and activities, an 18-hole golf course, multiple hiking trails, and many picturesque views of the city of Watertown and surrounding areas due to its very high elevation. The park was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, the landscape architect who designed Central Park in New York as well as many other nationally known sites across the country. During the considerably snowy winters in Watertown, the park offers many large hills for sledding, as well as multiple cross-country skiing trails throughout the park and surrounding forests. Each summer, Thompson Park also hosts a firework show and live symphony orchestra show on the Fourth of July.[5]
- Alex Duffy Fairgrounds. Located between the Town Square and Community College, the fairground each year hosts the Jefferson County Fair, which is the oldest continually operating fair in America.[6] The fair has a heavy focus on local agriculture, particularly local dairy and livestock farming, maple syrup production, and wineries.[7] The fairgrounds also offers many sporting fields for various local sporting events, most notably Watertown's own semi-professional football team, the Watertown Red & Black, which is the country's longest-running semi-professional football program. In addition, a public pool, skateboarding park, picnic areas, hiking trails, and an indoor ice-skating rink are featured within the fairgrounds.[8]
- Seaway Wine Trail Tours. Most weekends throughout the spring, summer and fall, Coach Buses offer tours through the Seaway Wine Trail, consisting of 4 wineries in Jefferson County located along the famous Seaway Trail. The tours begin and end in the city square, and consist of meals and wine-tasting.
- Burrville Cider Mill. The Burrville Cider Mill is one of Jefferson County's oldest establishments. The structure, formerly known as Burr's Mills, was built in 1801 and was originally used as a sawmill and a gristmill. The Mill is located at the headwaters of the North Branch of the Sandy Creek on a 30-foot waterfall that was used to turn a turbine that powered the Mill equipment.
- The Hudson River Rafting Company offers rafting trips on 4 rivers the Hudson, Sacandaga, Black, and Moose rivers over three seasons. Specializing in group rafting trips, they offer rafting to school groups, scouts, corporate outings, religious groups, camp groups and family reunions.

- "Golden Crescent" and Thousand Islands Region. Though not located within the city, Watertown is the closest American city to the well-known Thousand Islands Region, as well as the popular sport-fishing and diving region known as the Golden Crescent, which extends from Henderson Harbor to the Thousand Islands.[10] Being within 30 miles of these regions makes the city a popular destination and stopping point for tourists during the summer.[11]
- The farmers market in Watertown, where farmers, vendors, bakers, and many others set up an open market every Wednesday from 6 AM to 3 PM all along Washington Street to advertise and sell their produce.
- The Crystal Restaurant. The oldest established restaurant in the city. Located on Public Square The Crystal Restaurant is little changed from the early 20th century. It is home to one of the last stand-up bars in the United States as well as the holiday tradition of the Tom and Jerry cocktail. It has been continuously owned and operated by the Dephtereos family since the early 1930s.[12]
Watertown is served by the Watertown City School District. The elementary schools are North, Ohio, Knickerbocker, Sherman and Starbuck. The higher level schools are H.T. Wiley Intermediate School, Case Middle School, Watertown High School, and Immaculate Heart Central Junior and Senior High Schools, the Catholic and secular educational institutions.[13] Jefferson Community College is a two-year college located in the city as well.
The local newspaper, the Watertown Daily Times, is published seven days a week and serves Jefferson, St. Lawrence and Lewis counties. The Fort Drum Mountaineer is a weekly newspaper for Fort Drum soldiers and their dependents.
The Watertown market is served by three commercial television stations. The oldest is Carthage-licensed, CBS-affiliated WCNY-TV (channel 7), put on the air in 1954 by the publishers of the Watertown Daily Times. The station changed its call letters to WWNY-TV in 1965. After an unsuccessful struggle against the Federal Communications Commission and its directive for newspapers to divest themselves of television stations held within the same market, the Daily Times sold WWNY-TV to United Communications Corporation of Kenosha, Wisconsin in 1981.
In 2001, United Communications entered into an agreement with Smith Broadcasting to operate a Fox network affiliate with low power transmitters in Watertown and Massena. After a year of joint operation, UCC took complete ownership of WNYF-CD (channel 28). Watertown is also served by PBS station WPBS-TV (channel 16) and ABC affiliate WWTI-TV (channel 50).
Interstate 81 runs through the Watertown area. It is a north-south route that runs from near Dandridge, Tennessee north to Hill Island, Ontario, connecting via the Thousand Islands Bridge and a short connecting road to Highway 401 across the Canadian border. Interstate 81 passes just to the west of the city of Watertown, near Salmon Run Mall.
U.S. Route 11 runs from eastern New Orleans, Louisiana, to its northern terminus at the Canadian border in Rouses Point, New York. US 11 runs north-south through the city of Watertown.
Many state highways converge on the city. New York State Route 3 is an east-west route that begins in Sterling and heads north and east to Watertown. NY 3 interchanges with I-81 at the city line. NY 3 heads east into Watertown, overlapping with both US 11 and NY 12 through downtown prior to leaving the city to the northeast to head through the Adirondacks to Plattsburgh.
New York State Route 12 is a north-south route through the city, extending northward to Clayton then following the St. Lawrence Seaway to Morristown. A spur, NY 12E, takes a slightly-longer path through Cape Vincent before rejoining NY 12.
New York State Route 12F is a spur connecting NY 12 in downtown Watertown to NY 180 near the Watertown International Airport in Dexter.

not neccesarily.. he has as much right to make a game, and if other users voted accordingly then he has got it fairly. its just a bit of fun anyways. its not like he tried to win some money or something, considering its all his money anyways. (i assume)
good job everyone. :D

Fresh pour into a 750 ml bottle
A ~ black with brownish hints. Small head with a good amount of lacing.
S ~ Deep aromas, candy sweet, molasses. Toasted, creamy chocolate, vanilla, a small hint of coffee. Sweet bourbony hints.
M ~ Gentle, mild carbonation. Smooth full bodied, warm mouth feel.
T ~ Sweet bourbon and toasted oat. Sweet coffee with chocolate hints. Loved it. It's intoxicating even without the alcohol.
O ~ I loved it! Now you must take into account that I'm a total slut for these types of beers. With that said, it would still be difficult (especially this time of year) to drink more than a glass or two. A number of the folks that I shared it with made comments that it would be a great "dessert" beer…I've always thought that one should eat dessert first!

Picked up a growler at Whole Foods in Fairfax, VA
Poured into GD Yeti snifter
A - very dark brown opaque color, with tan colored head
S - lots of chocolate and vanilla, a bit of smoke, some toffee
T - lot more chocolate, vanilla at the end, aftertaste is very complex and lingers for a while - bourbon, toffee, earthy, oaky, smoke at the very end
M - thick, bit under carbonated - last glass from growler is the reason, coats the mouth well
D - nice sipper, heat is hardly present and shows up more in the bourbon flavors, never hot though, had some fajitas with it, and went well with the grilled steak and spicy flavors, for 15 bucks for a growler - not too bad for the quality and abv

Love this one. Had it in the pay but must've not reviewed it? Enjoyedbfrom an alewerks snifter.
a - brew pours a silky black with a finger of creamy of white head. Spotty lacing.
s - nose is fantastic. Decadent booze soaked chocolate. Not very porter since any char is overtaken by the wood and rich chocolate. Roast and kind of stouty.
t - gorgeous and lush as the nise advertised, but even better. Really tasty and again the barrel takes the char and kicks it into stout territory. Chocolate is the star and the booze glazes happiness over the top.
m - mouth is the highlight here. So silky smooth. Lush from the wood hides any porter char but this one stays light and fluffy and not heavy like a stout.
o - overall, this beer is a highlight in a catalogue of many amazing beers from alewerks. Truly a brewery to keep an eye on. Very worth picking up and or trading for. You will not be disappointed in this beer unless you hate amazing beer. Fantastically done.

The pour is deep brown with a small head. The nose is cocoa, dark chocolate, a bit of sweet marshmallow and vanilla. The taste is dark chocolate. Roasted figs, dark fruits. More vanilla. A touch of boozy wood. Full body, moderate carbonation. Smooth, quite drinkable, pleasant.

$8.50 bomber from Abe's.
Perfectly black body, no highlights. Dark tan foam went from three fingers to oil slick in under a half minute. No lace.
Incredible bourbon aroma - oak, vanilla, licorice, booze - that entices even while you're just letting the beer breathe a bit at arm's length.
Taste follows the nose, with the oak, vanilla, licorice, and then adds a big dollop of Hershey syrup to he mix. Bit of booziness.
Thick and rich mouthfeel, but with a good deal more prickliness tha the typical bourbon barrel beer.
A terrific if somewhat unsung beer. Highly recommended.

look: 3 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
A: Dark black body with a quickly fading coffee-cream colored head that leaves a ring and a few islands on top. No real lacing.
S: There's a very rich chocolate smell to the beer. The scent of oak leaps out of the glass as well, and is very pleasant. I get no alcohol scent, and I don't pick up the scent of bourbon either. If it had a more "bourbon-esque" scent then it would be a perfect 5.0
T: Right off the bat I get a bit of coffee and chocolate. The oak creeps up around the sides but is unobtrusive. It's fantastic. Again I don't really get that bourbon touch. At this point it just tastes like a very excellent oak aged porter.
M: The beer is completely drinkable. It is smooth and easy going down. It's not something that you'd have to sip to enjoy, which can be dangerous, so watch out! The beer has good carbonation and a decent slickness to it. It is full bodied but it feels like it could use a little more. It's like a V8 that needs a little more torque for the heavy car (flavor in this case) that it has to pull.
O: Overall I thought the beer was very outstanding. Bourbon barrel beers usually run the gambit of very light to an in-your-face bourbon explosion. This one is on the lighter side of things. If you like oak aged beers but aren't a fan of bourbon, I'm confident you'll enjoy this beer. Some bourbon barrel beers will also have dark fruit flavors, but this one has more of a coffee and chocolate edge to it. It's very interesting and delicious.

Great beer. My first bourbon barrel beer from 2011 and still my favorite (after BCBS of course). Thrilled to see this make an appearance in Philly again after 2 years. Lucked out last week, walked into my local Whole Foods to get my wOOtstout, only to find this gem sitting there. I could do this review in 3 words. Chocolate bourbon bomb. That's what it smells and tastes like, with notes of dark fruits from the base beer in the finish. Thin but appropriate for a 9% abv. So drinkable its scary, this bomber dissapears in no time at all. Easily one of the best beers Ive had this year.

This was a surpringly delicious barrel aged beer. Stouts get all the hype but this porter was a pleasant surprise. Wonderful bourbon, malt aroma. Mouthfeel for a porter was near perfect. Appeared black as night, consistent body for a porter and a thin tan head of a fingers width that dissipates to a thin layer of foam. Taste is warm bourbon and malty deliciousness. I would recommend and drink again.

Thanks to ksurkin for this one. Shared this 22 oz. bottle with a friend in some stout-esque glasses. Pours very rich and very dark--darker than I expected, even for something that's been sitting in a Virginia Gentleman bourbon barrel for a while. Smells strongly of bourbon, oak, and toffee. Initially, I taste dark chocolate, coffee, plums and dark cherries, and later, vanilla, caramel. Very rich, with a lot of layers--the flavor of the bourbon is included in there but is only one part of a complex profile. Velvety.

Good Bourbon Barrel beer. Pours a dense black color with no light coming through. A hard pour produces a big light tan head with decent retention. Minimal lacing.
Aroma is vanilla and bourbon/wood. Strong, pleasant.
Taste still features the bourbon barrel influence and vanilla, but there is also some good roasted malt as well. The bourbon may be a bit too dominant but the other flavors are prominent as well.
Mouthfeel is rich. The bourbon provides a little harshness, but the roasted malts smooth things out after the initial bourbon blast.
A good slow sipping beer.

Thanks to BigSexy410 for sharing a vertical of this. I'm reviewing the 2011 version.
The beer pours a nice nearly black color with a decent off white head and lacing, not super thick looking and with certain light it reflects some reddish notes back.
The first thing I notice is a nice sweet palpable bourbon oak barrel that seems to pair really well with the fudge and semi roasty porter base. As I get my nose in there, I get some baking supply sort of vibes like vanilla extract, cake batter. Nice.
The flavor is very close to mimicking the smell almost exactly, and has a nice lingering bittersweet and roasty finish with also a bit of rounded out barrel tastes too. Not the thickest beer,it is actually a little thinner than most porters of this abv and barrel influence. Definitely some big alcohol burn to this, more than expected and its a little off putting.
Good stuff, definitely tasty and decently easy to drink for a bourbon aged beer, nice.

Thanks to Sam and Russ for this one. 22oz. bomber into a Brooklyn Brewery snifter. Shared with schen9303.
Pours a 1.5 finger rich mocha head with good retention. Beer is opaque and pitch black. Lacing is layered and sticky. Very nice.
Nose is chocolate, molasses, lactose, fudge and bourbon. There's a bit of an off ethanol smell that lingers in the back a bit. Aromatic.
Opens chocolate, roasted malt, fudge, and molasses. Some smoke and bourbon in the middle. More molasses with notes of liquorice and a touch of leather at the end. Finishes sweet and syrupy with the same aftertaste. Really good. The flavors are appropriate and they complement each other very well.
Medium to full bodied with low carbonation. Oily and slick in the mouth and goes down with a touch of heat but very smooth overall. Finishes messy with a lingering, sticky sweet aftertaste. Perfect.
Another winner from Williamsberg Alewerks and easily one of the best porters I've had to date (though this drinks more like an Imperial Stout). Definitely worth seeking out.

Pours a dark black color, with almost no head. Other pours seem to develop more head after the beer warms up, but at first the beer looks almost flat.
Smell is huge sweet vanilla and oak. Hints of chocolate too, but mainly the vanilla. Pretty one dimensional really, but that's definitely not a bad thing. Smells amazing.
Taste is similar but slightly less astounding. Tons of vanilla, woody oak, strong bourbon character, a bit of milk chocolate. Very sweet, very tasty.
Mouthfeel is a little thin--definitely not flat as it appeared to be, but could use some more carb for sure.
Great porter, reminds me some of Birth of Tragedy.

A: Pours a dark black, with a two finger yellow-hued head which dissipates rather quickly.
S: Bourbon is really heavy on the nose, same as previous years. Some sweet malt smells come through once the beer comes up to room temperature.
T: Bourbon from the initial taste through a very smooth aftertaste.
M: Strong bourbon burn, with medium carbonation.
O: Exactly what I have come to expect from this beer. Alewerks has done a great job with consistently putting our a beer that tastes exactly like what you would expect. If you love bourbon, you really need to get your hands on this beer.

Enjoyed this bomber bottle out of a Belgian tulip glass.
A: Pours a dark black hue with a thick, 2-finger, brown head that slowly dissipates, leaving a great trail down the side of the glass and leaves a solid persistent lace.
S: Malty bourbon aroma. I try to smell anything else – but the bourbon is heavy on the nose.
T: Very sweet malt and bourbon flavor that has a smooth middle and finishes on the dry side.
M: Very strong - heavy body - med-high carbonation.

22oz. Bomber bottle with a simple classic beige label of an oak barrel. Right on the front is where you'll find the vintage date and a bottle number. This is a 2011 with a bottle number of 4972. To the left of the barrel is a description of the beer and to the right is the Government warning.
I poured this barrel aged Porter into a Cigar City Snifter. This Porter poured a solid midnight black with no highlights. I held it up to the light to make sure it was a solid black and light just bounced off the beer. Not much of a head of foam on this beer. The head of foam was very fizzy, about 1/4 of an inch in height, and coffee brown in color. It quickly fizzled away. It only managed to leave behind about 2 spots of lace. It was clearly on the weak side. Great color, but the head of foam wasn't much to look at.
This beer had a nice roasted bourbon aroma. The first aroma that emerged was the bourbon. That was quickly followed by the dark roasted malt and dark roasted coffee beans. After all the roasted aromas had their fun, the aroma then finishes up with some dark chocolate, charred oak, vanilla, and a splash of black cherry. Great aroma! Nothing got out of control or completely took over the aroma.
The taste was a little like the aroma, but not as well balanced. The taste came on strong with bourbon, charred oak, and dark roasted malt. There was plenty of bourbon in the taste, but it wasn't boozy. After the strong flavors, the beer then goes into the roasted coffee beans, dark chocolate, black cherry, and a subtle pinch of vanilla. I would have liked more sweet flavors like the vanilla to round off all bourbon and oak. I know, I can't have everything. It was still pretty good where it stands.
This was a full bodied barrel aged Porter with a good strong aftertaste. Strong bourbon aftertaste with some charred oak, roasted coffee, dark chocolate, black cherry, and a little vanilla. The bourbon and oak will linger on for a little bit.
I would like to thank my good friend Vince who gave me this beer in a trade. Great aroma and with a strong not boozy bourbon and oak taste. The only down part of this beer was the head of foam and it's easy to get over that. Worth a shot? I'd say so.

A: The most striking part of this beer is how it pours without any head. Even with a vigorous pour, nothing rises up. Otherwise the beer is really dark black. No light getting through this one.
S: The aroma is full of bourbon and rich chocolate. Some vanilla and a slight amount of roast come out as well. Definitely a bourbon-forward aroma, I hope the taste brings a little bit more balance.
T: The taste delivers. Still bourbon-forward, the taste is bolstered by a nice hit of chocolate that lingers on the palate seemingly forever. The very backend leaves a hint of booze to remind you the bourbon is still there. The roast isn't really anywhere to be found, making the beer pretty sweet. Some vanilla and maybe a slight amount of oak are also left over from the barrel. The taste is balanced, but not particularly wowing as a porter aged in bourbon barrels.
MF: The body is thin at times, but it's also very drinkable. I wish it was a bit thicker just to hold the body together a little more. With that said, I simply had no problem drinking the whole bottle. I also enjoyed the smoothness of the beer.
O: I liked this a lot, but thought it could have been better overall. It's hurt by an average look and smell, but the taste does stand on its own. I'd say it's worth your time if you see it.

22 oz. bomber (labeled 2011-4220) poured into a Duvel Tulip style glass. Liquid comes out about as dark brown as possible before turning black. Initially a nice tan colored head comes out and, it stays with the session for quite a while, but not much in the way of lacing.
Smell is outstanding. Plenty of oak, fudgy chocolate, vanilla, and absolutely some bourbon. Very roasty and a nice warm tickle from the alcohol. If I wasn't reading the label, I'd say it was an imperial stout.
Taste is equally as excellent. Super roasty and on par with the smell. The oak and vanilla sort of blend together. Coffee and sweeter than bitter chocolate come out and it's followed by the bourbon. Well balanced blend of all the flavors, I love it.
Mouthfeel is as close to perfect as one can get without actually being perfect. I'm sure there is SOME room for improvement. Full bodied and a great carbonation level. The warmth from the alcohol has a nice finish. It has nice drinkability, a perfect sipper on a cold evening like tonight.
I love this beer, and definitely want more. Thanks Ron for the KILLER extra!

22 oz. bottle poured into my NB globe. Shout out to eriktheipaman for an altogether awesome trade. Thanks Erik!
Pours a dark brown, almost black with very little to no head. Minimal lacing. Lots of bourbon, sweet carame/vanilla, some chocolate and abit of smokiness in the nose. Also a hint of oak. An altogether great aroma. Taste is absolute BOURBON heat initially, with a dark chocolate bitterness and vanilla. Not as sweet as the nose, but that's really a good thing. A nice smoky oak flavor rounds out this beer as it warms and mellows out the overall flavors. A medium body with an appropriate amount of carbonation for this style. A dry/bitter finish.
Overall, this beer is an absolute hit once it warms, and not bad at all to begin with. Nicely balanced and quite complex. Under the radar BB Porter here that holds it's own against the more well known BA porters. Would definately recommend and absolutely love to try again. Thanks again, Erik!

This beer pours out with a nice black color and light tan colored head. The lacing is pretty nice looking and the retention is thin but there along with the lacing. The smell of this beer as It warms up gets better and better. The aromas of bourbon and wood shine through with a moderate boozy note on the nose. The taste is sensational, it's got some of the best natural vanilla flavors I've ever had. There is a spicy note in there too probably from the bourbon. The beer has a light dry roasted finish. The mouthfeel is smooth and slick feeling. Moderate carbonation also. Overall it's a beautiful beer. Very very good stuff here.

22 oz bomber, no bottled-on date, poured into a tulip glass.
A- Pours a very dark brown, produces a thin head that quickly dissipates to a few wisps, leaves little lacing.
S- Lots of barrel aroma, vanilla is very prominent. Also getting some nice bourbon, oak, caramel and chocolate.
T- It tastes pretty damn nice, there's an initial rush of sweet booze and bourbon, as well as some chocolate, caramel, vanilla and dark fruit. Once this subsides some more dark chocolate and roasted grain emerges, as well as some smokey charred barrel flavor and dry roasted bitterness. Leaves a bit of lingering vanilla, caramel/toffee flavor.
M- Medium-bodied, smooth feel with a dry, slightly boozy finish.
O- A very nice BB porter, this is the first I've had from Williamsburg Alewerks but I'm impressed and will be on the lookout for their brews in the future, this is some really tasty, drinkable stuff.

Thanks to dtmets84 for sharing!
Black body, plenty of tan head leaves beads of bubbles on my glass. Aroma is exceptionally sweet: smells like sticking your face into a vat of liquid caramel. Taste is equally sweet, akin to drinking a jar of caramel ice cream topping. Supremely imbalanced, though I actually like overly sweet stouts.
Glad to try this but it's not a very good beer.

Pours chocolate brown without much of a head on it. Nose is chocolate malts with nice vanilla bourbon notes. The taste is sweet chocolates up front. These fade to a nice vanilla flavor and some dry bakers chocolate flavors. Mouth is creamy and full. Solid barrel aged porter on display here - packed full of rich flavor!

2011 Edition #4295
A - A finger's worth of slightly slanted lush thick khaki colored head... Modest at best retention gives way to a full rich lacing and a slight creamy collar... The color is an inky aubergine... Still with no discernible carbonation...
S - The warm booziness of the bourbon barrels is first to great the nose... Beneath the surface lies a refined sweetness... Milk chocolate... Caramel... Also some very faint notes of coffee and roasted malts... Very nice...
T - True to the nose... The bourbon barrel aging is ate the forefront, but never overpowering... The rest of the flavors compliment one another perfectly and create wonderful layers of complexity... Milk chocolate... Roasted malt... Coffee... Raisins... Marshmallow... Caramel... Each sip yields something familiar, but something new as well...
M - Medium to full bodied... As sleek and as smooth as they come... A bit chewy... Very light carbonation... A slight boozy dryness lingers on the finish...
D - Another outstanding offering from Williamsburg Alewerks... Any barrel aged offering of theirs that I have tried has been stellar and this is no exception... Highly recommended and I only wish I had easier access to their offerings...

Their battlefield roles range from the benign, like carrying supplies to U.S. troops on the ground, to the deadly, like the increasing drone attacks in Yemen and Pakistan. As UAVs are used more, embarrassing incidents also riseground controllers losing control of test drones or crashing them on missions. Here's a roundup of the good, bad, and ugly incidents. By Jon M. Chang Email Comments 0 Share Back 2 of 9 Next Return to Gallery Back Next View Thumbnails X-37B THE GOOD Two years after its maiden flight, we still don't know the X-37B's purpose. According to the Pentagon, the general objective of the space plane's second mission, USA-226, is to test new aerospace technologies, like improved guidance systems and thermal shielding, before they are implemented in other spacecraft. But wilder ideas about the craft have been floating around, such as space bomber or spyplane. We do know that the X-37B has been in orbit on its current mission for more than a year; it launched in March 2011. Based on X-37B's spectacular success, future missions for the spacecraft could include carrying more elaborate experiments into space and then safely returning them back to earth for further inspection and analysis.

This year I made a water feature in my back garden. I put in dwarf water lilies, some other plants, and a few pygmy perch. Sitting on the raised edge of the pond I often just watch the fish patrolling around. Just a few minutes a day of calming, soothing mindlessness seems to recharge my batteries. Aaah. This is what I need a little more of…empty time, accepting time. Neutrality. For me it's a void that allows creativity to enter. Do you have a place in your home that serves this function? I'd love to hear about it.
At the end of last year the two writing groups I attend had wind-up parties, and we all took turns talking about what we got out of our writing in the past year. Until I had to say out loud what I'd been up to it didn't sound like much. But on reflection I guess I'm pretty happy with how it's gone. While I didn't get through a lot of volume, I'm happy to have a project or two near completion, and even more important, a puzzle piece or two for new projects I'm excited about. It's gonna be a great year!
Last week Write! launched off again for the new year. We started with enthusiasm and some inspiring writing on characters, stories and approaches from last year. In the year ahead we're looking forward to having a retreat or two, and schmoozing our stories into something finished so we can make an anthology. If you'd like to join us, come along to Tom Collins House in Swanbourne, headquarters of the Fellowship of Australian Writers, WA, on Thursday evening at 7ish. New members are always welcome.

Gay pride parade and festival
WHEN: 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
WHERE: Haddad Riverfront Park
COST: free
INFO: www.wvpride.org (includes full activity schedule)
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Rainbow Pride West Virginia's annual Pride Week is here. Since last Friday, Charleston's gay community and their friends have been celebrating with a slate of events including pageants, a 5K-road race, a family picnic and a special edition of drag queen bingo at The Broadway.
This weekend, Pride Week continues with more events, among them a Friday night concert at the LaBelle Theater in South Charleston, a Saturday morning volleyball tournament on Magic Island and a Saturday night dance gala at Atmosphere Ultralounge. There are also Sunday's concluding events at Haddad Riverfront Park, including the Big Gay Dog Show at noon, the Pride Parade at 1:30 p.m. (which runs up Kanawha Boulevard to Capitol Street) and the Pride Festival, which goes until 6 p.m.
But first, there's the Second Annual Charity Drag Race tonight on Capitol Street, adjacent to Davis Park.
Ted Brightwell, public affairs coordinator for Rainbow Pride WV, said it is something not to be missed.
"It's a really great event, and the money for that goes to Manna Meal."
He explained this might not be the drag race some people are used to. The competition is made up of teams of four who run a relay. During each leg of the race, participants have to put on a wig and dress, grab a purse, slip on a pair of high heels and then run from one end of the street to the other, where their teammates are waiting.

The Six Things You Need to Know About Executive Protection
Executive protection requires risk assessment, cost-benefit analysis and old-fashioned legwork. Here are six executive protection fundamentals.
By Daintry Duffy
April 01, 2005 — CSO — Executive protection—how important is it? Unfortunately, one very bad event is all it takes to answer that question:
Terrified, haggard and frostbitten, Karen McMullan refused to give police the details of her ordeal until she knew her husband Kevin was safe. Twenty-four hours earlier, men dressed as police officers had talked their way into the McMullan's home. Once inside, they held a gun to the head of Kevin McMullan, the assistant bank manager for Northern Bank in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and explained that he would help them carry out a daring robbery. To ensure his cooperation, they kidnapped his wife.
At the same time just a few miles away, armed men entered the home of another bank employee, supervisor Chris Ward, and conscripted him into their plan by taking his mother, father, brother and brother's girlfriend hostage. Per the kidnappers' instructions, the next evening McMullan and Ward used their security passes to enter Northern Bank's inner vault and packed up bags of banknotes. The cash was loaded into a white truck and driven away. Hours later, Karen McMullan staggered out of a Northern Ireland forest and into the first house she found.
Also see an interview with executive and celebrity protection expert Gavin de Becker
Many companies pay lip service to the notion that employees are their most valuable assets, but few have actually done the math. In the case of Northern Bank, the use of the McMullan and Ward families in that December 2004 robbery cost approximately $50 million—and that is just the thieves' take. Add to that the public relations costs (worldwide headlines, inquiries by prosecutors and British intelligence), and the tab runs considerably higher. So solid executive protection can pay for itself in the long run.
The threats facing an executive vary widely depending on the size of the company, the industry it belongs to and the individual executive's profile. CSOs in oft-targeted sectors such as the financial services, pharmaceutical and energy industries, and those with executives based overseas, worry about kidnapping, carjacking, mail-borne explosives, biological agents and ecoterrorism. Threatening letters and e-mails and workplace violence fill out the list.
Given the range of risks involved, CSOs who have managed executive protection programs know that protecting an individual is a very different discipline from securing a facility. A top executive not only can't be locked down but, unlike a building with a single gate, there are numerous ways for an attacker to get to an executive, including through family members, as in the Belfast example. Executives will also rebel against onerous security restrictions. CSOs face the challenge of calibrating protection that serves their company's needs while also making that security palatable to the executives who have to live with it.
We spoke with executive protection specialists, including former and current agents from the U.S. Secret Service, and gleaned their advice on building an executive protection (EP) program. These tips apply whether you are spending millions to protect all your top executives or you hire the occasional security provider when your CEO travels. Following this advice can make an enormous difference in your executives' safety—and transform the executives' idea of personal protection from a barely tolerated hassle into a perk.
Executive Protection Tip #1: Ask questions early (and often)
Whether you are starting an EP program or just looking to tune up a preexisting plan, the first step CSOs should take is to conduct a thorough risk analysis. You need to identify the individuals who are critical to your organization, assess the impact to the corporation if they were lost and examine the risks that each of those people faces. Is there a history of threats against any of these individuals? Do they travel regularly to dangerous places? To what kinds of crimes or dangerous situations are they most vulnerable? Some executives keep a very low profile. Others, such as Donald Trump and Richard Branson, aggressively court media attention and risk attracting the notice of undesirables as well as fans.
Once you have determined the individuals who need protection, you need to know everything about their public and private lifestyles. This is called creating a "principal profile," and it requires the executive's full cooperation. You need to know everything about his work and home lives—everything from detailed information about his home, his family's habits and any organizations and clubs he frequents. It's also important to investigate how easy it is for outsiders to get information on your principal and his family.
Arnette Heintze, director of security with a Fortune 100 company and a retired U.S. Secret Service special agent in charge, advises doing a little online surfing. "Some companies are way too proud about putting everything they can about their executive and his family up on their website," says Heintze. "If someone is stalking a certain CEO, he can find out a lot of information on the Web." (If there is a lot there, the protection team needs to educate the marketing and communications staffs about what publicized personal details could put an executive at risk.)
Based on what the protection team learns about its subjects, CSOs will start to get a picture of what kinds of security measures you'll need to take. Some companies find that their executives need very little protection. Others need a 24/7 command post set up in their home. You should also consider whether your industry has a standard for executive protection. Companies in high-risk industries might find that there are some common levels of protection used for their executives. For example, executives at large financial services companies might have panic alarms in their homes as a standard security protocol. Researching common protective measures in your industry can enable you to benefit from others' experience.

so here's how it is: i have an install wich uses the m4-atx power supply, and for sound i got an external usb car (creative x-fi). untill recently it worked prety good.
BUT, now i face th following problem:
the one chanel of the inverter (only the one). causes ALLOT OF noise. continiously, with lesser periods of sound (like a bass or something). whenever i play sound from pc or not.
- the inverter works fine with other input (mobile)
-the sound card works fine on other pc
- the sound starts, as soon as the metal of the usb cable, of the sound card, touches the mb (no need to connect)
-i dont know what causes the noise to raise, but when it was big enough, the sound card was getting disconected-and reconected all the time...
what i did for this to start is this :
i bought a new video card (noise continius even without it connected)
i placed enother LCD (noise continious without)
and i moved the whole pc install. i have 2 batteries. before it was taking voltage from the one, and now from the other. i have tried many diferent grounds but no luck..
needles to mention, that the LCD'S also have allot of noise in the image!!
any help ?
nahh, they are arledy at the opposite.. and dont forget that the noise, begins as soon as the metal of the usb input of the sound card, touches the MB!!
have you hooked the usb sound card temporarily to a laptop just to make sure it's not actually the sound card? or tried the sound card with a boombox or other powered speakers instead of your car amp?
maybe a floating ground issue. you could try grounding the metal jacket of the usb to the car chasis. i don't know what amp you use, but with most it's safe to ground the negative of the inputs (the outside of the RCA connector).
"one chanel of the inverter" - what inverter are you talking about?
what does the noise sound like - hiss, whine, popping?
well some updated...
i wnet and bought a new motherboard, only to return and find out that the PSU, had broken down. the light flashes, and it turns constant if u try to power up the pc (meaning it is working), but no voltage on its rails!!
then i went and bought a 600watt inverter to use with a normal pc psu. the inverter worked fine at the start, but soon after it also broke down.. the light turns on (As if it would work) , but no voltage oupout... (17 instead of 220).. so i am starting to think that both got fried cause of something else. the Battery on wictch i have them connected , is a really old one(i use two batteries), and ONLY in the case of the inverter, it as connected to the possitive of the old battery, and in the ground of the new one!.. any correlation?

They grew up around Vancouver B.C. Some of their family and relatives listen to WARM 106.9 They have created a few twists to the image of a"Tenor". Enough to grab attention of David Foster, Oprah, Queen Elizabeth, and Tony Bennett . I was with Clifton and Frazer just last night as Sabrina Register and I hosted the first broadcast of their new PBS Special. An encore plays tonight (Mon) beginning at 7pm on KCTS 9. Turn on the set and have a look. They are very fun and full of surprises. They just might make you a new fan of classical music because of what they do with pop songs like that of Neil Young and Elton John.
