I have to say, Fatty Crab is one of my favorite restaurants in the city, but the delivery option turned out to be a tad disappointing. I ordered the short ribs, the wings and coconut rice. While the taste was fine, my two complaints are the quantity and temperature. For $40 I expected decent portion sizes, but I was wrong. The short ribs arrived on top of bones (presumably included to enhance the appearance of quantity) and there were 3 wings. Everything arrived cold even though the temperature outside was 60 degrees. And the wings were slightly undercooked. C'mon Fatty Crab, you guys can do better.

We demand resignation of Mr Shivraj Patil
In the last 4 years of Mr Shivraj Patil as home minister of India, terrorism has grown multi-fold. It has become impossible for common men/women on street to breath freely. All our cities wake up with fear for their lives, properties and try to fall asleep with the relief of coming through one more day. This has to stop. And for this to stop we need a strong, direct action Home minister. Hope the prime minister of India and his political party comes to term that they have given us the weakest home minister in history.

Have you ever marketed to a certain group?
Last September, I decided to market to the Gay folks in Minneapolis. It's a huge market and while I have many clients who are gay, it's hard to get into their target market withotu paying big bucks for ads in their big newspapers. I opted to pay a lesser charge and advertise in a bootstrapping local magazine for a way lesser cost. BTW...this was my ONLY advertising cost in 2009, $75 a month and I got print/online/newsletter blasts. We created cool ads and I haven't got one call in 7 months. They say advertising takes time. I wait... Then in the last 2 weeks, I got an email from one of the most well known drag queens in Minneapolis. Wants to work witih me. She/He is in love with my logo and marketing and wants to help me. He/She called with about 10 ideas of how we could market together and I was in awe. He/She has a podcast of 10,000 listeners, wants to interview me Has an itunes download for interview/3,000 downloads Has an very active blog/wants my logo/unknown And endless ideas, or so it seems...we meet on Wed for a formal chat/meeting, I am totally excited! This is a huge deal for a business like mine and I will work this market. We cannot forget in marketing to do what is good for business. How are you marketing? What demographic? Who are our potential clients? ANYONE!!! Think outside the box, no matter where you live.

Wow, it sounds like your marketing paid off. I'm not sure if it's the same everywhere, but in Albuquerque the gay community is pretty tight-knit. It's a valuable community to have on your side, as they tend to be very social and they will spread the word about you -- good or bad.
Out here the community consists of mostly older people, and that is the demographic that I will be targeting. A lot of people around here are retired, farmers, ranchers, and/or have ties to the oil industry. Since corporate work is sparse, you also find a lot of small businesses. The general area is heavily populated with lower-income families, so I am trying to come up with some services that might be beneficial to this demographic as well. It might not yield a lot of revenue, but it will show that I am a good steward to the community. |

All surgery presents risk, including da Vinci® Surgery and other minimally invasive procedures. Serious complications may occur in any surgery, up to and including death. Examples of serious or life-threatening complications which may require hospitalization include injury to tissues or organs, bleeding, infection or internal scarring that can cause long-lasting dysfunction or pain. Temporary pain or nerve injury has been linked to the inverted position often used during abdominal and pelvic surgery. Risks of surgery also include potential for equipment failure and human error. Risks specific to minimally invasive surgery may include: A long operation and time under anesthesia, conversion to another technique or the need for additional or larger incisions. If your surgeon needs to convert the procedure, it could mean a long operative time with additional time under anesthesia and increased complications. Temporary pain or discomfort may result from pneumoperitoneum, the presence of air or gas in the abdominal cavity used by surgeons in minimally invasive surgery. Research suggests that there could be an increased risk of incision-site hernia with single-incision surgery. Results, including cosmetic results, may vary. Patients who bleed easily, who have abnormal blood clotting, are pregnant or morbidly obese are typically not candidates for minimally invasive surgery, including da Vinci® Surgery. Other options may be available. Patients should talk to their doctors about their surgical experience and to decide if da Vinci Surgery is right for them. We encourage patients and physicians to review all available information on surgical options and treatment in order to make an informed decision. Clinical studies are available through the National Library of Medicine at www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed.

• Check out a timeline of the federal government shutdown. * * *
WASHINGTON — As the federal government shutdown drags on, the next fiscal crisis is lurking just around the corner — the debt ceiling.
Unless Congress approves a change, the government will soon — perhaps within a week — hit its legal limit for borrowing money to pay for current programs.
"This is a major issue," said Rep. Lee Terry, R-Neb. "The debt ceiling is not something you mess around with. It has an impact all across our economy."
Republican lawmakers, including those from Nebraska and Iowa, want concessions from Democrats in exchange for supporting a debt limit increase above the current $16.7�trillion. Because many Democrats disagree with linking the debt ceiling to other issues, that could set up an impasse similar to the one that led to the shutdown.
Unlike the current dispute, however, the looming fight over the debt limit may focus more on spending levels than on policy issues such as the Affordable Care Act, the new health care law.
Rep. Jeff Fortenberry, R-Neb., noted that the most recent deal to raise the debt ceiling included spending cuts, which he described as "reasonable."
"You have to use these moments to try to get underneath the policy that is driving the debt," Fortenberry said. "It's irresponsible to not pay our bills. It's irresponsible not to drive down the cause of the debt."
Terry agreed. He said it's appropriate for Republicans to insist that raising the debt ceiling include some attempt at reining in spending.
"If we're 38 cents short on every dollar, we need to figure out how to make that 38 cents smaller and maybe a pathway to zero," Terry said.
The Obama administration has pegged Oct. 17, one week from now, as debt ceiling D-Day — the point at which the government starts bouncing checks.
Estimating that date is not an exact science. Money flows into the federal Treasury daily from a variety of sources. A look at your pay stub shows a few examples: withholding for Social Security, Medicare and federal income taxes.
The money flows out as well — and at a faster rate — for federal employees and contractors' pay, interest on the national debt, Social Security benefits and Medicare reimbursements to doctors and hospitals.
Because there's more than enough money coming in to cover interest payments alone, some Republicans, including Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, contend that a delay in raising the debt ceiling doesn't have to affect the nation's creditworthiness.
"It seems to me that it's just a matter of prioritizing," Grassley said.
But that's some tough prioritizing. Servicing the existing debt is one thing, but if you add big-ticket spending items that have broad-based political support — Medicare and Medicaid, Social Security and national defense — it doesn't take long before the bills exceed revenues.
And no lawmaker from Nebraska or Iowa is proposing to eliminate Social Security or the Pentagon.
Democrats say it's hypocritical for Republicans to oppose a straightforward increase in the debt ceiling. After all, they say, government has to raise the debt ceiling because of past congressional actions that authorized spending programs or tax cuts.
All recent budgets, even those written by Republicans, envision significant deficits for years.
Many Republicans acknowledge that, but they point out that there's plenty of precedent for tying debt ceiling increases to changes in federal spending.
Republicans have also raised the possibility of linking an increase to a host of policy provisions — defunding the health care law, approving the Keystone XL pipeline or passing tax overhaul legislation.
Democrats continue to push for a no-strings-attached increase in the debt ceiling. They are expected to bring one up in the Senate later this week.
That bothers Sen. Mike Johanns, R-Neb. He has criticized his colleagues for using budget showdowns as a way to roll back the Affordable Care Act, calling that strategy ineffective. While he opposes the health care law, he wants the debt ceiling debate to focus on fiscal issues.
But Johanns said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., has gone too far in asking for a "blank check" in the form of a yearlong, trillion-dollar increase in the limit.
"He doesn't want us to have any input, he doesn't want to negotiate, he doesn't want to talk to us," Johanns said. "I just think that's overreaching. I think he's trying obviously to gain some political advantage here rather than solve the problem."
Rep. Tom Latham, R-Iowa, is looking for an increase in the ceiling to be tied to "spending reforms." Rep. Adrian Smith, R-Neb., said the debt ceiling "may be the best opportunity to pass needed reforms."
Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, said he is unconcerned about the administration's Oct. 17 deadline, but he said there are scenarios in which he would support an increase in the debt ceiling.
In particular, he proposed that the House and Senate agree to send the states a balanced-budget amendment to the Constitution for ratification.
"That'll get me there," King said. "Because that would set the states up to ratify and make us responsible here in this Congress again. We've got to get to balance."
Sen. Deb Fischer, R-Neb., likes to say that the debt ceiling increase is not automatic.
"There's a reason it has to come up for a vote, and that's because it gives us really one of the few opportunities to be able to discuss our financial situation that we're in, and that's why I'm here," she said. "I ran saying this country is spending too much and Nebraskans agree with that, and if we're going to have any opportunity to address that, we should grab it."
Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, has a much different view of the debt ceiling.
He says the whole concept of a debt ceiling is unconstitutional in light of the 14th Amendment. That's the part of the Constitution that states the validity of U.S. public debt "shall not be questioned."
Harkin has urged President Barack Obama to ignore Congress and raise the debt ceiling himself.
Obama has rejected that interpretation, but Harkin said the president is listening to the wrong experts. If the government defaults, Harkin said, he will blame Obama right along with the Republicans who refused to raise the debt ceiling.
"If he does not raise it himself under the 14th Amendment, clause four, I think that he would be acting unconstitutionally," Harkin said. "He is not upholding his constitutional oath of office to uphold and defend the Constitution."

March 12, 2014
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Jimmie Johnson led teammate Kyle Busch to a one-two finish at Richmond International Raceway. It's the third
consecutive Nextel Cup victory for Hendrick Motorsports -- a team
that has won seven of the past eight Cup events and swept all four
races in which NASCAR has used its new Car of Tomorrow.
It looked for awhile as if Hendrick would finish one-two-three,
with Johnson, Busch and pole-sitter Jeff Gordon battling for the
lead. But Gordon faded over the final 15 laps and gave up third
place to Denny Hamlin.
Gordon, the series points leader who was coming off back-to-back
victories, settled for fourth.
Johnson, the defending Nextel Cup champion, wins for the fourth
time this season.

The current debate over the Homeland Security bill raises fundamental questions about fundamental constitutional principles. The following discussion proves illuminating in a way the political debate has not. This is an excerpt from the Claremont Institute-sponsored panel "The Administrative State Goes to War," Annual Meeting of the American Political Science Association, Sept. 1, 2002.
The roundtable on the domestic politics of the current war featured Mackubin Owens of the Naval War College and John Eastman of Chapman University School of Law. Dr. Owens is a Fellow of the Claremont Institute, decorated Marine veteran of Vietnam, and author of numerous scholarly and popular articles on political philosophy and foreign and domestic politics. Dr. Eastman clerked for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and heads the Institute's Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence.
"In sports you like to play home games. In war you like to play away games."
There are two problems in the administrative state: On the one hand, the open-endedness of the public finance system, seen in deficit financing, enabled the administrative state to develop. On the other, the open-endedness of the military, reflecting its employment and success at diverse tasks, leads to its over-use, misuse, and abuse. These two problems are related in that the administrative state seeks domestic security of its citizens so much that in the long run the social spending ends up crowding out defense spending, and you might make yourself weaker militarily. But this hyperactivity of the administrative state leads it to turn to its instruments for work not originally intended. I have in mind the U.S. military-getting them involved in doing things that will take them away from their ability to do their job, which is ultimately to prepare for and to fight wars.
I have an alternative to Paul Kennedy's argument in The Great Powers.... First of all, Great Britain's real problem was not imperial overstretch as it is traditionally understood, but it was that it would not or could not take the precautions that were necessary to prevent the rise of another great power. Therefore they had to fight a war they could not avoid. That war led to tremendous problems, and tremendous amounts of social spending. Rather than imperial overreach, you might suggest that the real problem in the administrative state is social spending. The dangers I see is that there are competing claims for material resources in the administrative state, and you're not going to have any money to spend on defense, given the circumstances.
Now the other problem has to do with the idea that the administrative state asks too much of its institutions. You probably know the big debate right now about whether or not the military should get more heavily involve in domestic policy problems. There's a tendency to have the military engaged more and more on the domestic side. Is it a legitimate use? The citizenry asks the military to supply a host of functions over a period of time-internal law enforcement (fighting riots in Los Angeles), patrolling the border, providing humanitarian services, fighting forest fires, etc.
Now, the military is very good. If you give them a job, they will do it. But, let's use this analogy: In sports you like to play home games. In war you like to play away games. And part of that is that our military has been very effective and projecting power and defending the U.S. not so much by sitting at the border but by reassuring our allies.
My only reason for invoking Charles Dunlap's speculations (in his fictional work, "The Military Coup of 2012") is to suggest that it portrays one of the real problems we face in the administrative state. The citizenry asks the military to supply a host of functions over a period of time-internal law enforcement (fighting riots in Los Angeles), patrolling the border, providing humanitarian services, fighting forest fires, etc., the military is very good. If you give them a job, they will do it. Certainly there is no problem with the loyalty of officers to the Constitution. The problem rather lies in civilians who over commit the military to duties civilians should be performing.
Moreover, when the military gets too heavily involved in these peripheral matters, it loses its ability to fight wars. If you look at Latin American military or African military, they are very heavily involved in domestic politics. They are very good at repressing the people, but they are not very good at external wars. And a number of scholars argue that that's one of the causes of the institutional changes of the military getting involved in doing these sorts of social humanitarian operations. The more the military is politicized, the more it's criticized, the more corrupt it's going to be, and what's going to happen is that it's going to deteriorate.
"[T]he Secretary of the Interior objected to going to war because the government had not run an environmental impact report to take governmental action."

This week, we take a look at the Clay Soldiers mod - currently by SanAndreasP, originally by KodaichiZero - which allows you to make armies of tiny men to do battle with one another. You can upgrade the soldiers with a wide array of helpful tools and weapons, create any of a number of different team colors (which they respond to appropriately - no team-killing), and pit them against each other in countless ways. Even a single item can make the difference between a clay man living to fight another day, and just becoming another mangled lump. Do you give them stick swords? Fire weapons? Even make a super-soldier to turn the tide against a wave of corrupted men? Try it out for yourself!
You can try the mod for yourself right here - fair warning though, you will likely lose hours of free time playing with these little guys!

It was a typical game for the Newton High School boys' basketball team this season — a lot of fight and a few chances to win.?The Railers played from behind for most of the night against the Hutchinson Salt Hawks — missing several chances to take the lead late and falling 49-39 Tuesday in Ark Valley-Chisholm Trail League Division I play at Ravenscroft Gym.?"Once again, defensively we played well," Newton coach Don Cameron said. "We kept them off-balance. The problem was we weren't scoring. Lane Pauls gave us a lift in the second half. ... We missed layups. We lost by 10 points. That's five layups. If we finish shots and get focused down the stretch, we could be very dangerous. Not finishing layups has been a thorn in our side all year."?Hutchinson, 10-9 overall and 7-4 in AV-CTL I play, was led by Braydon Wells and Trevor Turner with 11 points each. Brody Ackley added 10 points. Trevor Turner scored all of his points in the fourth quarter.?Newton was led by Pauls with nine points, hitting three 3-pointers in the fourth quarter. Austin Krogmeier and Gunar Drinnen each added eight points.?"(Sam) Lehman and (Josh) Robinson both played well inside," Cameron said. "They're two sophs. ... They're getting better. Both of them stood up to Hutchinson. Hutchinson is very physical. ... We hit free throws. Lehman was two for three. Robinson was four for four. (Jack) Kingsley was two for two. They're sophomores."?Lehman and Robinson have seen their court time increase in recent games. The two combined for 10 points. Lehman, whose older sister Kate holds most of the school's and state records for blocked shots, blocked three shots for the Railers.?Down 10-5 early, Newton made a 7-0 run. Hutchinson broke the run with one of two free throws, trailing 12-11 at the end of the period.?Newton led by as many as three early in the second quarter. Turnovers and Hutchinson outside shots allowed the Salt Hawks to lead by five at the half, 21-16.?Newton turned the ball over twice early in the third quarter. Hutchinson took advantage with a Higgins trey to go up by eight. After another Hutchinson trey, Lehman broke the run with a three-point play with three-point play with 3:05 left in the period, sparking a 7-0 Railer run. Josh Robertson capped the run with a pair of free throws with 2.7 seconds left in the period, putting Newton back within four, 27-23.?Lane Pauls opened the fourth quarter with a trey for Newton. Newton missed a chance to take the lead when a basket was called off on a charging foul. Hutchinson then hit a trey to go back up by four.?Newton again got within one with chances to tie or take the lead. Hutchinson came back with a layup and 3-pointer to lead by six with 1:37 left in regulation. Newton turned the ball over on a charge with 1:01 in regulation. Hutchinson put the game away with a pair of free throws and a layup.?"We lost (Trevor) Turner, and he hit a three — his only three of the night," Cameron said. "We lost him in transition and he hit a wide-open three. That was a big shot."?Newton ends the regular season at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Maize, 7-12 after a 48-45 loss to Salina Central.?"Maize is a whole lot better," Cameron said. "We've got to get an offensive threat. We need to penitrate We need to break down defenses. We need to stop having these moments like we had tonight where we were up 16-13 and then got stuck on 16 for a long time. We've been playing some tough defense."

WOW!!Pros: All I can say is WOW!! This huge full tower case replaced my old Antec Nine Hundred mid tower case and the difference was night and day. I can actually work on my rig now without having to squeeze my hand inside the case. This Lian Li case definitely seems quality made. This was my first Lian Li case. I was a bit concerned about the durability since it's made by aluminum but no problem here so far. Overall, I'm very happy with this case. Purchased it at almost half off after the promo code. Thanks newegg. Cons: Not enough airflow. Definitely could use more fans on the top panel and maybe even the side panel. Wish this was a clear window side panel. I don't know why companies still bother with the solid window side panel when most buyers will prefer the clear window panel. I was hoping for it to be a much bigger case but coming from a mid tower case, I'm satisfied. Other Thoughts: It didn't come with a hot girl inside the case. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Umm nice! but....Pros: Very large well constructed case. First time from this mfg. I must say very impressed, comming from coolermaster and lots of other gamming cases. Cons: 6970 MSI Lightning is a pain in the A%$ to get in and out. Other Thoughts: The tooless expansion desighn is the best I have yet seen. Could have had an extra Millimeter or two of room for larger graphics cards. Did you find this review helpful? |
Awesome for moddingPros: all aluminum, extremely large, room for 3x120 rad + 2x 140 rad. aluminum takes paint well. Sturdy and quiet. Cons: Cable management could use some work. behing the tray is kinda small, and there are no tie offs Other Thoughts: if you want a large case for liquid cooling you can't go wrong here, but if you are modding in anyway you might as well figure out how to do some cable management while you are at it 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Be careful what you put in itPros: It's a full-tower aluminum case. Cons: Not enough airflow for a full tower. Other Thoughts: Lian-li does produce replacement case tops and doors with much-needed vents but that's an additional expense. Did you find this review helpful? |
Nice case, lots of roomPros: Lots of room to work with. Cons: It's huge, but I knew that when I bought it. Other Thoughts: Seriously not happy about the ports shorting out. I couldn't figure out why my 2 flash drives died and figured it was because one was old, and the other was just defective. When my external HD stopped working along with my wireless mouse adapter, I got suspicious. I assumed it was the motherboard... (who would think external connections for a case would cause a problem?) RMA'd the MB and now my 2nd wireless mouse adapter is dead. Awesome.... A $200 case killed almost $500 of hardware. I'll probably think twice about another Lian-Li case. 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
99,9% SatisfiedPros: Aluminum, USB 3.0, Holds 10 Hard Drives, Tons Of Room For Anything I Wish To Put In There. Cons: The Only Con Or Gripe That I Have With Any Of My Lian LI Cases ( I Own 4 Of Them): Front Panel Clips There Are 4 Male And 4 Female Clips That Hold The Front Panel On. They Are Made From Junk Plastic. I Did Not Force Anything and 1 Of The Female Clips Broke. I Checked Lian Li's Site For the Part And I Was Redirected to a 3rd party for this part. A 2-3$ Part Plus about 7$ Shipping. I Think Lian Li Should Send Me A Pack Of Clips Before I Spend The Money To Ship The Whole Case Back To Them. While Looking For This Cheaply Made Clip I Ran Into Several Other Folks With The Same Problem ( Junk Clips) & Hard To Find Replacements. Other Thoughts: I Wish Lian Li or Newegg Would Provide Me With Some Suggestions, A Solution, Or Even Send Me A Part To Fix This Case, 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Decline in QualityPros: Aluminum, roomy Cons: Poorly made for a high end case Other Thoughts: This is my 6th and maybe my last Lian-Li case. The front bezel is warped and wont fit snugly - get one corner in place and the opposite one pops out; the side panel is hard to get properly closed as well. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Fantastic case!Pros: Well designed, Stylish, Great Features. Cons: It wasn't free. Other Thoughts: I did a lot of research before choosing a case, and decided on this one -- I have not been disappointed! Excellent case, and I am looking forward to many years of use. Highly recommended! Did you find this review helpful? |
Simple but elegantPros: Unparalleled workmanship. Everything fits perfectly, seamless, feels tough, but is still amazingly light. The solid brushed aluminum finish is just pristine. Cons: Everything you need and not an ounce more - none of the "fancy" extras of the "gamer" lines of full tower cases. You'll have to pay extra if you want those extras (fan controller, hotswap bay, top/side fans, card reader, etc). Other Thoughts: Front fans are pretty silent, rear fans are a little noisier. Get a fan controller for $20. The NXZT touch panel controller looks perfect in this case. Did you find this review helpful? |
What a case!Pros: I have to say I've never worked with such a great case before. Completely toolless design, when it says it can fit an EATX board and 10 hard drives, it can not only do it, but do it with room to spare! The drive bays are decently spaced to allow airflow, as I prefer. In some cheap cases, I've had to alternate drive bays to accomplish this, but not here. This case was a dream to work with. Cons: USB 3.0 connector for the front panel didn't seem to match my motherboard correctly (one pin on the connector is closed). Not sure if this is a connector or motherboard issue so I won't deduct a star from the case, but I wound up using the USB 2.0 adapter to connect to a USB 2.0 header.

Hoverson, Doug
Adult Nonfiction TP573.U5 H68 2007
| |||||
Summary: "A heartfelt paean to the pioneering breweries of the Midwest, packed with details and excellent photos. Land of Amber Waters is sure to delight anyone interested in the storied history of American brewing." --Garrett Oliver, Brewmaster of The Brooklyn Brewery, and author of The Brewmaster's Table "Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you that the wheel was a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza." --Dave Barry For centuries, brewmasters both professional and homegrown have pursued the perfect pour--a delectable combination of barley, yeast, water, and hops--and few states can claim as devoted a relationship to beer as Minnesota. For a time it seemed that every town had its brewery and a beer garden was a highlight of every local celebration. Dedicated home brewers and casual pub crawlers alike will be amazed by the stories of Minnesota beers and breweries featured in Land of Amber Waters. Starting with the first brewery in 1849, Doug Hoverson tells the story of the state's beer industry from the small-town breweries that gave way to larger companies with regional and national prominence, including Hamm's, Grain Belt, and Schell's, to the vibrant beer culture of today, led by a new wave of breweries such as Summit, Lake Superior Brewing Co., and Surly, and brewpubs like Town Hall Brewery, Fitger's, and Granite City Brewpub, and sustained by microbreweries, home brewers, and beer aficionados. From the first illegal brewer at Fort Snelling to the craft brewers and major companies of today, nearly 300 breweries have opened and operated at one time or another in 125 cities and towns around the state. Complete with a comprehensive list of Minnesota's breweries--including many never before published--and more than 300 tempting illustrations of beer and breweriana, Land of Amber Waters marvelously chronicles Minnesota's rich brewing traditions. Doug Hoverson teaches social studies and coaches the debate team at St. Thomas Academy in Mendota Heights, Minnesota. He is the assistant editor of American Breweriana Journal, an award-winning homebrewer, and a certified beer judge.

Appearance: Pours a dark brown color with faint ruby highlights, it holds a medium sized beige head which is very creamy and dense. On the nose dark chocolate is noticed right way, roasted malts, and coffee. The mouth feel is super creamy and slick. On the palate the flavors consisted of bitter chocolate, coffee, roasted malts, hint of caramel, peanuts, touch of hop bitterness balances thing out finishes smooth and a bit dry. A very tasty porter.

Dark cola brown with a nice cascading cask head that settles to a small film of light espresso. Aromas are intense and consist of chocolate, caramel, roasted malts, slightly citric hops, and more. The taste is all chocolate and roasted malt up front, slightly hoppy in the middle, and caramel-like and slightly sweet in the finish. Mouthfeel is cask awesomeness and drinkability is very good. Another nice one from the big V.

Filled a growler of this brew at the pub.
Poured into a pint glass chilled.
The beer pours a deep mahogany color and gives of a fluffy beige head that dissipates slowly. Aroma is chocalatey, with some light caramel hits too. First sip reveals light carbonation that rolls across my tongue and a creamy, silky textured brew.
Flavor is similar to the nose, with chocolate, and some caramel, also a bit of grassy hops hit breifly and then are overwhelmed by the rich chocolatey malt. Very easy to drink and quite tasty and balanced. A great beer for the fillup!
Serving type: on-tap

Color was a deep brown with some red highlights. Nose was muted, slight roasted aromas and some bready malts. Taste was a bit light I thought, seemed like it could have used just a bit more oompf. Lighter flavors of cocoa, malt and dried fruits. Very smooth and drinkable rounded flavors. Nothing jumping out however. All flavors seemed to be very blended and integrated. Finished clean, a bit dry with some dried fruit making a reappearance.
Overall a solid brew, but not a world beater. It was pleasant enough, but nothing about it really capture my interest.

Sampled cask-conditioned at the brewpub. In the glass its near black with a creamy tan head. Aroma of deep roasted malts, cocoa, & toasted almonds. Extremely smooth with more of an herbal bitter hop bite than I anticipated. This bitterness is overwhelmed, however, by the roasted malts which allows all kinds of pleasant flavors to invade the mouth...I'm enjoying the toffee, cocoa, & hazelnut coffee hints quite a bit. Not particularly robust or meaty, but a highly drinkable, well-balanced porter. Tough to drink just one.

Preety good example of the style I'd say. Color is dark brown, like a brown hole rather than black - not much light escapes through it. Good carbonation with a nice head. Somewhat lacey. I get hints of Choclate Malt and some coffee in it. Really smooth too.

I have to admit that this was a bit of a disappointment. I was expecting a little more from one of my favorite breweries. The color was a dark brown. The aroma was light toffee and cocoa, a slight bitterness, but the flavor was a little weak and the body a little thin. Not bad and quite drinkable, though.

I really don't drink heavier porter's or stout's too often, but I grabbed a growler from Victory (one of the cool German 68oz ones) for a test taste. The color was black with tan highlight's and a puffy tan head with nice lacing. The smell was great; coffee, chocolate, toffee, light hops, bittersweet. The taste was more of the same. I felt like the body was a little watery compared with the initial smell, but like I said I'm not a porter "guy". This was fairly drinkable, I think you'd have to be in a porter mode, but it was not cloyingly sweet or too thick and overdone. Overall, I nice porter and another great brew to try from Victory.

Growler straight from Victory, drank right away...
Pour many a deep brown pint with ruddy edges. A nice head tends to stay from a bulbous pour, but the best part is that there is always lattice stain and full lace. A healthy-looking porter, indeed.
Smells of dark-roasted coffee beans, small bits of chocolate, and the floral/herbal touch of English hops. The taste is supremely smooth, as it is roasty enough to tempt your mouth with savory flavor, but not punish you with toasty acridness. Bits of bitter chocolate float around, and, again, these flavors are fortifying and pleasing, not just bitter, supported by a quiet and sweet dark malt.Opens to a medium-to-dark roasted coffee flavor without much tongue drying, while soft herbal hops light wash over in the finish. This beer has a full mouthfeel sliding slick but soft, aiding in creating the definition of drinkable. I killed the growler in no time without a blink.
Please put this in bottles! A session porter without punishing hops, acrid too-much-roastiness, or other burdening flavors, it has the balance of hearty flavor and drinkability. Not overly robustly roasty or Americanized hoppy or too similar to a stout - I've been searching high and low for a porter that doesn't try to be one or more of the above. Finally, a quaffable porter to reward a hard day's work, and a very British and personable styling at that. Endearing.

The overwhelming flavor is is nice toasted coco.
Nice dark brown pour, great head retention. I has a easy light body, which gives it it's drinakablity. I think this has the chance to become an every-day, if it is ever widely distributed. Creamy body works very well with it's chocolate style taste. very interesting and I think this needs some further review. an extremely good example of the style, go get yourself one.

A very dark amber brown brew topped in a thick covering of tannish foam that eventually dies down to a thin layer of lace coating the glass. Roasty malts with hints of chocolate hit the nose as they are accompanied by a deliteful hop character that really adds complexity.
Very smooth and rich, the body is pretty full, but not quite there. The cask offering has a lot more body. Flavor has sufficient complexity with a nice bitterness from the hops. Chocolate flavors as well as sweet notes of caramel balance the roastiness to near perfection. Even though it has a bit of body, it is not heavy at all. It is extrememly drinkable, and I would imagine that it would not take a dark beer lover to sip on a few. This is a great brew from Victory, but I can't wait to see it on cask, as that was the better of the 2 so far.

This beer was brought home from the brewery in a growler. It poured a deep dark brown with copper highlights and was topped off with a rich and dense creamy head. Small hints of roasted grains from the aroma. Goes down dry and has a perfect bitterness. Thin bodied but flavorful. Theres a slightly sweet roasted malt flavor, almost like roasted pumpernickel bread. I detect a bitter citrus tang in there too. Mellow, flavorful, drinkable. A very nice porter.

Fresh from the source, Victory brew pub, this beer was exceptional. Nice head sat atop a jet black body and faded to a nice wring of lace around the glass. Smells heavily of chocolate malts. Tasted smooth and creamy almost like a desert mousse made of chocolate couldnt stop thinking about drinking some more. While not in balance the beers overall maltiness is exceptional. Could drink this all day every day. The single best porter ive ever had.

I was at first taken aback by the color of the beer: It wasn't as dark as you would expect: you could actually see through it. The taste certainly wasn't lighter at all. There was the rich roastiness and full flavor that you would expect from a good porter. Maybe it even leaned more to being a stout!

The beer is a deep dark purple, with a thing white head that sticks to the glass while you drink it down. Pleasant, but mild aroma. Tastes strongly of dark chocolate. It had a slightly metallic aftertaste. I enjoyed my pint and will have another sometime, but this is neither the best beer from Victory, nor the best porter I've had.

Smooth, Dark, and roasty! Firkin selection at the 4/5 BA event at the brewery. Slight roast nose with a hint of sweetness but not huge.. Excellent smooth creamy mouth. The taste is doiminated by cocoa and sweet malt. Silk smooth mouth. Quite rounded. I enjoyed this fresh smooth, sweet, inviting treat.

Growler purchased at the 4/5 Philly Gathering
Sticky, frothy, lively tan head tops brown/ruby body. Excellent lacing. Nose is a lot of cocoa, some roasted, some toasted malts, and a hint of smoke. Taste adds a bit of coffee to the mix. Mouthfeel is an oily slick running across the tongue and done the throat. Delightful if I'm not getting that accross. Drinkability? I'm not sure this growler will survive the night. A wonderful example of the style.
Even better from the firkin.

This beer was available to us as a FIRKIN on 4/5/03, at the great BA Philly Gathering.
This beer came to me a dark chocolate color with a ruby hue about the edges. The head was creamy in color but only half the size as the regular tap version but just as dense and still left some lace behind. The most noticeable thing was the temperature that is was served at. WARM. Strong aromas of roasted malts, chocolate, coffee, floral hops and some yeast were present. The taste was a little drier then I would have thought. Tastes of roasted malts, coffee, some bitter chocolate, floral hops and yeast were the flavors of the day. This was my first Firkin, and the first beer of the day, it kind of surprised me. I enjoyed it.

Had this on tap at Victory 12/27/2002. The workhorse shares a lot of the the characteristics I tend to look for in porters, particularly the big, rounded dark malt flavors. Brew was a transparent-slightly opaque dark brown with some reddish hues. Nose was full of malt character with chocolate, toffee, and hints of roasted coffee and enough hop character to give the aroma a "cleanness". Lots of flavors compete for space on your tongue but they all balance well, a trait common to Victory brews. If this beer were available in bottles, I would not hesitate to pick it up in bulk.

Enjoyed on tap at Victory on 12/3/02. Dark opaque in color with a head that quickly dissipates. The British styrian goldings hops give it that authentic British porter style and taste.The style of this brew tends more toward the Northern British type of porter with its lush, dark malt character. Its definitely not a robust porter. The nose is of a subtle bittersweet chocolate and tofee with a gentle hops finish. It is a deliciously complex, but a very drinkable ale. Session quality brew.

The body is a clear, very deep mahogany with ruby/crimson highlights. It's capped by a densely creamy light tan head that holds quite well and leaves some nice lace. The aroma is very lightly fruity over a bittersweet-chocolate and caramel malt (with a touch of roasty coffee) that's backed by some grassy hops. The body is medium with a very fine and moderate carbonation which leaves it quite creamy, and very smooth in the mouth. The flavor expresses a combination of light caramel, dark malt acidity, roastiness, bittersweet chocolate, grassy/spicy/floral hops against a bold bitterness. It's exceptionally well balanced (in both pH and bitterness) and clean; and it finishes dry with a short lingering note of bitterness, acidity, roastiness and dark chocolate. An exceptionally well brewed and very enjoyable pint.

A solid porter all the way around. Dark brown, semi-transluscent liquid. Good sized tan head with intricate lace decorating the glass. Aroma is big on chocolate malt, caramel, medium roasted coffee...as is the flavor. Hops are subdued. Medium bodied and super smooth. Very drinkable porter.

Any women bow hunters out there?!?
Just checking to see if there are any women bow hunters here.
I would like to find out what kind of equipment you are using? What is your draw weight? Where do you/have you hunted? What kind of game have you shot with the bow?
Looking forward to hearing from some of my fellow female hunters.Alles van dies beste!!

Sure are, Packsy.
Have hunted with an Elite Synergy Xtreme, 54lbs, 28.75", next time with an Elite Aigil at roundabout 65 lbs (as much as the limbs allow)
Have hunted South Africa, KwaZulu Natal, Impalas, Warthogs, Blue Wildebeest, all clean shoot-through's.
On my wishlist for next time are: Oryx, Kudu, Zebra, Eland... as well as bushbuck or other smaller species. (It's the experience that counts, not the amount of meat or trophy size)
To water your mouth just a bit more :-), just read our hunting report of 2010: Dare to Bowhunt - the pongola diary
Very nice animals and great "diary" of your hunt.
I am currently shooting a Bear Young Guns at 24.5" draw and 39 pounds. We are going to SA in August 2014 and my the first animal on my wish list is an Oryx. I will be working over the 2 years to get my bow up to 45 pounds, and my husband is working on getting my arrow weight up.
Good thing we have time before we goAlles van dies beste!!

I don't want to spoil your enthusiasm or anticipation, but... honestly... I think that 45lbs at such a short draw length are at least... critical for hunting an Oryx.
How heavy do your arrows have to be to gain enough momentum to pass through (as optimum) such a quite big animal with not-so-thin skin?
You would have to get REAL close to your target; the lethal zone, which in your case will be even smaller, must be hit extremely accurate. And if not?
Perhaps you should first consider somewhat smaller and more delicate game like Impala, just to see how your setup works there, before considering bigger species.
And I assure you, the anticipation of the hunt will be the same, but with more calculable result and less pain for the animal (and the trackers).
See, I'm not an expert with 20+ years of experience, but I am always careful with things like these.

Packsy, Not a woman.... but have good expereince on hunting with female hunters...., I reckon you'll be good.
In 2008 I hunted with Charmainne Nugent both her and Angy Ross were guided by myself Charmainne was launching at 42lbs same draw length and killed all her trophies with single arrows over a period of 2 years, these included. Zebra, Wildebeest, Oryx, impala, Blesbuck and even Eland Waterbuck and Kudu, its about shot placement.
For one I have learned that female shots tend to be more accurate than most men, I think it has something to do with less ego and more attention to detail...dont know??
Angie Ross had (maximum archery, Ross Archery) had a very similar set up and so does my wife. I do not foresee any major issues as far as penetration goes, point is if you punch the lungs it's gonna go down no major resistance there.
I believe you'll be fine.
My very best always

Thanks so much, Jaco!!
I have often wondered what some of the women on tv shoot. They are so tiny and I couldn't see them shooting a heavy weight bow. That makes me feel much better.
Don't worry, I will be practicing a lot over the next 2 years to make my shot placement as accurate as possible. I will also be studying the shot placement photos and watching videos of shot placement.Alles van dies beste!!

Thank you Jaco - good points. I recently talked to an elk outfitter from Idaho. He said his client list included a 12 year old girl shooting 38lbs 23" draw length and a 325 grain arrow.. She ended up shooting the biggest bull of the year with a complete pass-threw. I also talked to an outfitter from Africa that has a young gal shoot a 2000lb eland with a 43 lb bow with a 25" draw. My advice I give Packsy is to shoot the heaviest bow you can shoot comfortably. If a person shoots more bow than one can handle, accuracy will suffer. The amount of energy transfer by today's modern bows is outstanding. Stay calm and do not attempt to shoot at ranges beyond your abilities. Accuracy is the real key.
When I am not hunting, I am thinking about hunting....I think I'll go hunting.

As the old saying goes, "Patience is a virtue."
Obviously, a heavier bow is going to drive deeper arrows. With that said, many of us appreciation your willingness to work for a higher draw weight, and it sounds like you're working on accuracy as well. Very cool!
However, the question at hand is, "How deep is deep enough?" When you finish hunting, we'll all know providing you share. I can tell you this, be patient. Only shoot when you feel 100% confident you can drive an arrow into the vitals. You are among abled archers (post above is proof)...listen....do your part professionally (as if you were receiving pay and mistakes are unacceptable). No one can ask any more of you.
Have fun!The will to succeed isn't nearly as important as the will to prepare to succeed.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. - When the Legislature begins next month, more Republicans will have seats on the powerful House Education Committee, which has long been criticized for blocking changes to West Virginia's education system.
Teachers and school service personnel once dominated the panel. Now their ranks have been significantly reduced.
That alone might not be enough to change the focus of the committee, which remains led by Chairwoman Mary Poling, D-Barbour. Poling is a retired teacher and lifetime member of the West Virginia Education Association.
"It's important to remember the chairwoman of the committee, Delegate Mary Poling, controls the agenda. No individual has stood in the way of education reform in the last half decade more than Mary Poling," said Delegate Troy Andes, R-Putnam.
If the chairman does not put a bill on the agenda, members never get to vote on proposed legislation. If members never get to vote on the proposed legislation, the bill never makes it out of committee to see a full floor vote.
Andes hopes Poling will "feel the groundswell" of support for education reform in the state, "rather than her continue to push the union's agenda of more money in the education system without reform."
Poling did not respond Wednesday to several calls and messages. In the past, she has defended the makeup of her committee when it has been criticized.
"Heaven forbid we have all that expertise in education right out of the classroom," Poling said in 2011. "It's real easy to say, 'Look at them, they're teachers,'" she said, "but I think it's our expertise that gives good policy."
Last year, the House Education Committee had 25 members, 14 of whom were current or retired teachers or school service workers. Many were members of state teachers' unions - the West Virginia Education Association or the American Federation of Teachers.
House Speaker Rick Thompson announced earlier this week the education committee would have 23 members this year, 12 Democrats and 11 Republicans. (Other so-called "major" committees have two or three more Democrats than Republicans.) Of those, nine are current or former school employees.
House Minority Leader Tim Armstead sounded optimistic about the new balance.
"I'm very pleased with the makeup of the committee," he said. "I think that it will be a good opportunity for us to see some of the initiatives we believe are necessary to improve education able to be taken up."
He said the teacher unions have been "obstacles to change" in recent years, thwarting efforts to give more weight to student achievement in teacher evaluations, as well as efforts to change laws governing the state's 180-day school calendar.
Armstead said he doesn't believe the unions speak for state teachers, however.
"The teachers in my neighborhood want to see changes," he said. "They don't want to see everything controlled from Charleston. They want to see changes in our education system. They want more opportunities to use their talents and creativity to educate our children."
The education committee's new vice-chairman, Josh Stowers, D-Lincoln, also is a WVEA member. He is the assistant principal at Horace Mann Middle School in Kanawha City.
The committee's minority vice chairwoman Linda Sumner, R-Raleigh, is a retired educator and WVEA member.
