After having had Arrogant Bastard (and loving it), I was excited about trying the Oaked version of this fantastic brew. Side poured with standard vigor from the 12oz bottle into my Boulevard glass, co-sponsored by the KC Royals. 1st Place in the AL Central, in case you didn't know. While I write, its' snowing in KC, making me want to go to Stone Brewery and relax in 75 degree weather.
Appearance - Pours a beautiful deep ruby red color with a nice one finger that dissipates slowly and leaves excellent lacing. Very impressive presentation on this brew, and of course Stone kills it on the packaging. Always a pleasure.
Smell - Malty sweetness is certainly strong, with a bit of hop character. A hint of the oak can be detected, as well as some spiciness and booze. A fairly complex nose, albeit not very strong.
Taste - What the nose lacks, the taste makes up for. The oak is certainly prevalent, with a nice malty spicy sweetness making up the majority of the drink. There is a little hop character in there as well.
Mouthfeel - This is one of my favorite parts of this brew, in that it is so smooth and you get a touch of the alcohol at the end. Nothing overwhelming, but it is there, and I like that. It doesn't let you forget you are drinking alcohol. Leaves a nice, smooth, sweet taste on the palate. I would say it is a medium-heavy beer.
Overall - While I did not like this beer to the extent I like the standard Arrogant Bastard, it is still an excellent beer no doubt. I would highly recommend it, although I would also recommend you drink the original first for a control group (comparison purposes). Great beer.

look: 3.75 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
A: Pours a deep ruby color with a huge two full fingers of puffy off-white head. The foam doesn't take too long to settle, but when it does there are big rocky bubbles along the edges of the glass. Tons of lacing as it drinks.
S: The nose is malty, spicy, and boozy. I get a touch of caramel, leather, and tobacco in this beer as well.
T: It starts out sweet with malt and caramel. As it moves to the middle I get vanilla, spice, caramel, and leather in there. It's also a touch earth (dirt and leaves). That may not seem appealing, but it is nice. The back end brings on the booze along with more caramel and vanilla.
M: Full bodied beer. Sweet and spice envelop the palate right away. It's hefty but it's overly sticky or chewy. Nothing too lingering after the beer is gone.
O: Very good beer. The vanilla in the beer shines through thanks to the oak aging. It's pretty darn delicious. I may revisit this beer if I'm in the mood for a smooth well balanced woody beer.

Poured into snifter. Deep gorgeous ruby red, with a full white head that leaves lots of lacing. Smells hoppy like an IPA, but with a thicker malt presence. Taste is similar to the smell; hops up front, solid malts through, but a sweet woody oak finish that sneaks in at the last second. Mouthfeel is pretty full, but smooth. Delicious.

12 oz bottle poured into my perfect pint glass. This is the first commercial beer I have had in a while because I have been enjoying my homebrew.
Appearance: A gorgeous deep amber with a very well retained two finger tan head. The only negative are the yeast floaties that I can see swimming around in the carbonation.
Smell: Oak barrel "funkiness" and pin hops.Caramel sweetness bring it all around.
Taste: The taste really follows the smell. Bitter with the oak barrel note up front. A solid maltiness with a touch of sweetness as it finishes. The strong 7.2 ABV is hidden very well.
Mouthfeel: The mouthfeel is solid with the taste going all over the mouth. This beer has a slick sort of feel. The carbonation is good and the body is sizable for the style.
Overall: I do like the oak treatment the they added to Arrogant Bastard. It adds a layer of complexity to an already very solid beer. The only downside is the added expense. A solid treat now and then.

A- Pours a nice dark amber with 1 finger of tan/beige head that slowly faded with almost no lacing.
S - Not very strong, but intriguing and it draws you in. It has a nice malt nose, with some caramel and pine breaking through. The wood is subtle, but definitely there. Hops, but they seemed faded (I'm not sure, but this my by due the fact that I had an Enjoy By a couple of hours earlier).
T - Great taste! The hops are definitely there, with a great sweet malt base. Caramel, vanilla and smoked wood creates an interesting complex.
M- Medium bodied, easy to drink. The alcohol is there, but I find it nice to drink. Little carbonation.
O - Pleasantly surprised by this beer. I like the original, but the oak added to it more than I thought it would. Still a good hop hit and aggressive, but adds an interesting element to a great beer.

The Cave, Glasgow (330ml, £2.80):
Mid to dark brown colour with a clear body and a bubbly, off-white head that also leaves some nice lacing.
Mild, hop filled aroma with a bit of caramel and a nice amount of spice too. There is a good mix of toffee and some light grapefruit backed up with citrus and an oak type aroma.
Fruit and spice along with some oak and caramel from the nose. Again some medium strength hops make an appearance along with some spice and grapefruit. There is a nice, wooden oak flavour towards the end.
Smooth with a tiny amount of grain that is barely noticeable. There is some spice and a good, oaked wood feek and a lot of depth to the mouthfeel.
Quite nice, a touch more oak filled and spicy than I would have like but the beer did not suffer for this. The beer was very smooth and highly drinkable despite the relatively high abv. and the strong taste. There was a good malt taste to the beer that complimented the initial early hop one beautifully and went down a treat; a strong but very enjoyable beer.

Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a snifter. Purchased in Attleboro, MA.
A- Pours a deep amber, clear body with a thick, gushing off white head that reduces very slowly and leaves chunky, sticky foam 1/2" thick on the sides of the glass. Very appealing.
S- Very floral with citrus zest, a big malty caramel backbone, oak barrel, and pine sap.
T- The oak chips really punch you in the face the second this beer hits thee tongue - lots of vanilla, caramel, and butterscotch upfront. This progresses into an aggressive hop bite with lots of pine, resin, citrus, and floral notes. The finish is borderline astringent. All of this is sitting on a medium-heavy roasted malt backbone that gives it subtle notes of toffee, chocolate and caramel.
M- Medium-heavy body, medium carbonation.
Overall a hugely complex beer. The oak chips really take this beer to a whole new level and add a lot of nice flavors. I could probably only drink one of these in a sitting but it's good nonetheless.

Had this out of the bottle and poured into a glass earlier this month and haven't gotten around to reviewing it until now. Bought a 4-pack and got it for my friends b-day. I thought it would be cool for us to share a beer together. This is my first review, here we go!
A-The beer looks flawless and the bottle is incredibly cool and funny. Has a pretty large, tan colored head and it seems like it stays forever. The beer is a deep copper color, almost amber. looks great.
S- Smells different. You can really smell the oaked and wood flavoring and it is for sure the strongest and primary smell. There might be some sort of citrus thing going on too from what I remember as well as the hops. Might be some sort of bready sent going on. Not to bad, but once again, mainly oak and wood.
T- Wow! The taste is pretty much like as my friend put it, "Like drinking a liquefied tree!" There is a heavy wood presence here. Not a lot of booze taste here, which is good. Hops are noticed here, but not overly powerful. The taste finishes dry, but not too dry. The taste lingers for a very long time afterwards. Even after chewing a stick of gum, I was still able to feel it on my mouth. Overall, a very aggressive and strong taste, but I don't mind.
M- Not a whole lot of carbonation, which is a good thing. Most beers are too carbonated and it takes away from the other qualities of the beer. The mouthfeel is heavy without a doubt. Like I said before, the taste stays with you for a very long time.
O- A very big and bold beer. Tastes very different and unique in a good way. I have never had anything like that before. My friend couldn't stand it because he said it was like drinking a tree. While he was right, it's not necessarily a bad thing. Overall, a very pleasant experience, if you get the chance to try this, don't pass it up!

Gorgeous-looking beer. Dark red-mahogany color with a fluffy bone head of dense sticky foam. Lacing is amazing and thick. Retention is ridiculous.
Toffee malts, American oak, some booze, grapefruit and sappy hops, mild raisin. Nice.
The oak is huge. Super woody and dry and piney, which develops the hop profile even more. The flavors are just... massive. A step-up from regular Arrogant Bastard. Elements of the floral and the citrus compete with the big oak and toffee breadiness. Very enjoyable.
Dextrinous and chewy. Medium-big in body. Lots of trapped bubbles exploding upon drinking. Busy.
Very good strong ale. Better than Double Bastard, in my opinion. Easy toslug sip and enjoy.

12oz bottle into a snifter.
A - Pours a dark amber/mohogany color, hazy. 1-finger, light brown, super creamy head. Nice legs, almost no lacing. Thin bubbles create a nice head at every swirl.
S - Big complex aroma . Malt, hop and oak have their place. Malted sweetness, candy sugar, dark fruits, piney hops, citrus, wood, vanilla.
T - Starts fresh and malty with loads of herbal notes, slightly floral. Then a citrusy bitterness kicks your tongue, blending nicely with some wooden character and phenolic spiciness to linger forever.
M - Very smooth. Carbonation is spot on. Medium body with little alcohol.
O - Arrogant Bastard is huge, the oak version is even bigger!

Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a Half Acre snifter.
A- pours a dark amber with a 2 finger tan head. Big trails and amoeba lacing remain on the glass.
S- sweet malts, dark fruits, light smoke, sweet candy apple, faint pine.
T- amber malts, toffee, light citrus, and bitter pine.
M- medium body and carbonation. Very smooth with light dryness from the bitterness.
O- nice beer and better than I remember. Smoother than regular AB and has nice sweetness to it.

A: Pours a nice dark, but clear, ruby red, with bubbles visible. Color reminds me almost of a port wine or fortified wine. Looks very appealing.
S: Strong smell of hops, but also some sweetness and a bit of a caramel aroma. The hops are the strongest smell, but some complexity in the aroma.
T: Very strong hops and bitterness powers this one from start to finish. Tastes a lot like an IPA. The oak really only comes in at the end, but is a nice touch. The bitterness is really what lingers here, though.
M: Good mouthfeel. Smooth, with some tingle from the carbonation.
O: This is a nice beer, though one has to really enjoy IPA-type hoppiness and bitterness to like it. The oak adds some complexity to the taste. I have not tried the non-Oaked version of this beer, so I don't know how they compare, but this one is pretty good.

"This is an aggressive ale..." but you most certainly will like it. Pours that signature Bastard darkish red color with a 1.5 finger bone-white head. Head is extremely smooth with great lacing. The smell is very similar to that of the standard Bastard, but with just a hint of the oak chips at the very end. The taste is actually quite different from the standard ABA. This time, sweetness, biterness, and oakiness dominate, with just a bit of pine at the end. The mouth is also quite similar to the original Bastard. Smooth, yet leaves the biterness lingering. Overall, I'm won over. Honestly, I'd probably buy this over the original any day, but unfortunately, it's not as common. Good thing I'm from San Diego!

Pours a rich mahogany with a ton of effervescence when held up to the light. A 1 inch head with good retention and a ton of wood on the nose. I'm gonna guess that's oak.
The taste is sort of flat and undefined upfront but this gives way to a strongly overpowering bitter oak profile. This isn't all that different from chewing on tree bark. Even has that sort of medicinal bitter pine flavor on the tongue minutes after the sip. Almost feels like whatever little balance was present in the original has now been sapped out.
Well, I don't care for the taste but it has some things going for it - the appearance and mouthfeel do win it some points. Unfortunately these pale in comparison to the taste for me. I enjoy barrel aged beers so I'm a bit surprised at this one. I'm guessing this is a polarizing brew. Still though, worth trying once.

Poured from 12oz bottle into sniffer glass. Did a side-by-side comparison with this oak aged version and the regular Arrogant Bastard, so this will be a review and comparative analysis.
A- Pours a hazy ruby with a thick, cream color head. Absolutely beautiful beer. Fantastic lacing. Color seems to be slightly lighter than the AB, but tough to see a difference there. Slightly less pronounced head as well, but to be expected after being put through the aging process. Just about a finger.
S- Wow. Here is where we start to see the separation from the regular AB. Aroma has some similarities to the reg AB with some floral hop and pine notes, but the oak aged version takes it to another level with the oak presence. Sweeter, maltier smell with earthy hints of wood and vanilla. More pungent that reg AB. Absolutely delicious smelling!
T- Glorious. Citrus hops up front, but less pronounced than reg AB. Biscuit flavors. Sweet malty base. Swirl of flavors taking place. Takes you on an extra twist from reg AB as the oak backbone of this beer takes over. Notes of brown sugar, molasses, vanilla. Did Stone actually find a way to make this beer smoother? I think so. Oak creates a smooth finish of a terrific scotch. Very little bitterness. Touch of alcohol, but well hidden. Not overpowering.
M- mid body. Velvety smooth as it coats your mouth. Good carbonation remains. Very similar to reg AB
O- to my delight, it actually found a way to top the regular bastard. The oak backbone really takes over and takes this beer on a nice ride to another level. Hops are less of a highlight with this one, but the balance is just amazing. One of my favorite beers i have had to date.
$10.99 for a 4 pk

Pretty good one finger of head for an oaked beer. The body is a dark brown color.
The aroma is mild oak with a dose of milled barley.
The taste has a mild oak all around, which rounds out the Arrogant Bastard. The bold malt and hop profile is still there, just mellowed out a bit. It's good.
The texture is crisp with moderate carbonation.
A great beer and too easy to drink.

Poured this from the bottle into a mug.
Looked and smelled good, dark.
First taste was bitterness, and water. I hate when I can pick up on the water in a beer. Besides that it did have a decent body, and I appreciate dark beers, but I have just never been able to appreciate any of the Arrogant Bastard brews.
Mouthfeel was pretty carbonated and bitter. If you like bitter, you will like this one, but not the most bitter I've had.
Overall, I finished it. That's about it.

12 oz bottle with enjoy by date of 03/14/13. So about a month before its best drinking age.
Color is dark copper or almost deep ruby-brown. Huge hints of red color. Maroon or chestnut color would be a better description. About one finger thick light tan colored head that stays for only some time. Decent lacing on the sides. Some minor bubbles.
Aroma is a mix of toasty malts, resinous hops and very very slight wood. Some very vague vanilla comes through in the nose as well. Overall strength is mild. Oak aging via chips has resulted in a subdued aroma as far as oak, wooden and vanilla fragrances are concerned. Hop aroma is not strong either. Drinks like an old ale. Alcohol does not come through.
Flavor is again very subdued. Very malt forward and strictly less hops than in its non-oaked counterpart. Slight bitterness in the finish. Caramel and toasted malts along with resinous and piney hops.
Mouth feel is medium bodied. Moderate to low carbonation. Drinks very easy and smooth. Hides the alcohol, though there is not much to hide at just above 7%.
Non-Oaked version is slightly better.

Poured from a 12oz bottle into a pint glass in high elevation Libby, Mont. Reviewed live.
A- One-finger off-white head. Several minute-long retention. Nice lacing and good carbonation. Auburn color with low clarity. Hazy and appealing.
S- Strong dark smells, yeast and some booze scents. Definitely some wood chips.
T- Bitter, deep and aggressive. Definite wooden taste that fights with the booze for control of the bitterness. Not an ideal taste, but I suppose I knew what I was getting into.
M- Smooth and very dry. Malty feel in the end.
O- Meh. Not my preferred style, but not as bad as some of the recent offerings I've had from Stone. Maybe I'm just not in the right mood to enjoy it to the extent it seems most people have.

Presentation: Bottle is awesome as Stone bottles always are. All graphics and text are painted on. Label has the typical Stone gargoyle holding a beer mug with great font. Very eye-catching. States that it is Ale aged with American Oak Wood chips, ABV info, and says "You're not worthy."! On the back label it gives the definition of arrogance, a small but arrogant description of the beer, a small but arrogant back story on beer, web info, and states "The Arrogant Bastard Wood. Would You?"! Cap states "Arrogant Bastard Ale".
Appearance: After allowing this to warm for 10min I poured AB out of its 12oz bottle into a 16oz snifter. Pours out a deep brownish red that is very cloudy and has a 1 ½ finger cream colored head of a medium to thick density. Lacing is phenomenal! Heading retention is excellent lasting 7min 30sec before fading to a thick coating a ring.
Smell/Aroma: Aroma is amazing. A floral herbal scent hits the nose right off start with a strong citrus hop scent rising through next. A nice oak backbone is detectable the entire time. Phenomenal!!!
Flavor/Taste: A strong pine hop bitterness is tasted first followed directly by a sweet but bitter grapefruit taste. A roasted malt backbone comes through on the finish. Really great!!! All this rest atop an oak backbone.
MouthFeel/Drinkability: On the thicker side of medium bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and average carbonation. Extremely drinkable!!!!
Overall/Comments: Wow!!! One of the better beers that I've ever had! Super complex in every aspect with a great nose and a flavor profile that takes the drinker on an adventure!! The oak was awesome!!

Bottled Date: None
A: Deep brown with a washed khaki head of foam which is minimal and dissipates to bubbles that cling to the glass.
S: Caramel sweet with a burnt, woody edge. There is a nice fresh, earth and pine hop presence in the nose.
T: The malt is caramel and brown sugar sweet and is the fortified foundation to this brew. The wood is there, again with a burnt edge. The hops add balance with a moderate grapefruit and strongly earthy bitterness.
M: Oh so smooth with a full body and just enough carbonation.
O: One of the standouts of the Stone brew line. The oak presence adds a layer to the already strong and well balanced brew that features big and sweet malt along with refreshing and crisp hops.

Pours dark red with nice head. Aroma of pine hops and faint oak. Definite malt presence. Flavor has a nice oak up front and strong toffee malt. Hops give it a crisp finish. The dry sharp oak seems to wash out some of the nice regular arrogant bastard malt sweetness that balanced this beer. Not bad, but need to be in the mood for some oakiness for sure. A bit like chewing on a piece of wood.

A: Amber color with big white head. Good lacing and retention.
S: Getting caramel, toffee, with some bread for the malts. Equally strong pine and grapefruit. One difference from the regular AB is a bit of vanilla scent near the beginning.
T: Very similar to regular AB; Sweet toasted bread, and caramel. Hops come in strong with lots of citrus (grapefruit, orange) and some pine. Hop character is a little smaller compared to the regular AB. Finishes with a long oaky aftertaste which reminds me of the smoked characteristic in a good whiskey.
M: A bit thick with medium-high carbonation. Fits the style and overall aggressiveness of the beer.
O: Good beer that is very much like the original AB. A small difference in the nose and a mellowing of the bitterness in the taste. To make up for the less bitterness there is a good oaky flavor that adds to the complexity of the beer.

12oz bottle poured into a Sprecher snifter glass
Appearance- Blood red in color with 1 finger of tan head that dissipates to a sheet that covers the beers surface. Leaves a good amount of sticky lacing.
Smell- I get lots of sweet tropical fruit, that similar to an IPA. Also, getting a vanilla and a little pine.
Taste- Up front you get a lot of hops flavors including some citrus and earthy ones. Then this is followed with a nice long oaky/woody finish. Quite enjoyable actually.
Mouthfeel- Pretty much what I would consider a medium body which to me is perfect for the style.
Overall- Very enjoyable mellow beer. My only gripe would be that the flavor profile could have used a little more sweetness to counter act the oaky and earthy notes.

Willa Saunders Jones was born a twin on Feb. 22, 1901, to Ada Pulliam and George Washington Saunders, in Little Rock, Ark. Soon after Willa's birth, and the death of her twin, Jimmy, Ada Pulliam married Smith McBerry and worked as a domestic. Later, Ada married William Anderson. Willa (called Willie as a child) spent her childhood with her mother, stepfather, and half-brother, as well as her grandmother and great-grandmother, both former slaves. The working conditions of African American laborers she witnessed as a child propelled Jones to move to the urban Midwest and had a great impact on her work as a playwright.
Willa's father, George Saunders, was the pastor of Mt. Tabor Baptist Church in Little Rock until his death in 1924. Willa attended both her father's church and Mt. Olive Baptist as a child. Willa graduated from Arkansas Baptist College, a denominational high school, around 1920. Upon graduating, she married George Washington Jones, a graduate of Philander Smith Methodist College.
In 1921, shortly before their move to Chicago, Willa and George had their first child, George Jr. Intending to remain in Little Rock, and in the process of purchasing their first home, the couple was forced to leave Arkansas for Chicago after George Sr. (along with another man, Emanuel West) was accused of raping a white woman. Willa and George narrowly escaped unharmed by the vigilante mob.
In 1922, shortly after moving to Chicago, Willa had her second child, Charles, and a third, a girl named Betty Jane, who died soon after birth. While George attended Moody Bible Institute, Willa became severely ill. It was during her recovery that she began work on The Passion Play. As a young woman, Jones was recognized as a talented vocalist and acclaimed as a choral director. Jones was also known as a keyboardist, powerful speaker, and spiritual leader. These talents would serve her well as director and producer of the play.
The Chicago Passion Play ran for 55 years, between 1926 and 1981—two years after Jones' death in 1979. It was first staged Easter Sunday 1926 at St. John Church. Originally titled The Resurrection, the original production did not include Christ as a character, nor did it depict the crucifixion. The audience consisted of fewer than 25 viewers and a small cast. By 1930, the production was being staged at various churches around the city. However, The Passion Play remained a small-scale production until its later performances, which were staged in large auditoriums and venues such as the Civic Opera House.
Being in Chicago increased the play's opportunities for exposure through close-knit local churches and community organizations. Its major form of publicity came from word-of-mouth advertising in African American communities. Jones' audiences grew when performances began to include singers like Mahalia Jackson, a close friend of Jones, Dinah Washington, Reverend Clay Evans, and the Barrett Sisters, along with popular Chicago dance troupes. The play also presented the opportunity for Chicago's south and west side residents to participate in theatrical productions.
After Jones' death in 1979, the play's production and direction were taken over by her grandson, Rogers Jones, and continued until 1986, when a lack of funding stopped production.
The papers in this collection, though small, include a series of programs and playbills (the first dating back to 1930), an organizational summary from the Willa Saunders Jones Corp., 1984, an original copy of the script (likely from later productions), and a large collection of memorabilia—plaques, awards, and proclamations from the City of Chicago.
In addition to the information contained in these papers, researchers can find a detailed biography of Willa Saunders Jones and an analysis of the Passion Play, written by Brian James Hallstoos of University of Iowa in the Journal of American Drama and Theatre, Spring 2007. His full dissertation on the Passion Play is available in PDF form at http://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/371/.
The Willa Saunders Jones Collection consists chiefly of programs, news clippings, and numerous photographs from the production of the Chicago Passion Play. Also, there is a large amount of memorabilia—plaques, trophies, and proclamations from City of Chicago—included in the collection. Of note is a copy of the play (date unknown) containing marginalia.
The collection is made up of six series: Biography, Manuscripts, Programs, Clippings, Photographs, and Memorabilia.
Series 1: Biography contains two documents: a brief, undated, biographical sketch of Jones and a summary of the Willa Saunders Jones Corp., printed in 1984.
Series 2: Manuscripts contains a single document: a copy of the Passion Play script, date unknown.
Series 3: Programs consists of seven programs from various productions of the Passion Play from 1930 to the mid-1970s.
Series 4: Clippings is comprised of Chicago press notices, written between the 1950s and 1983, covering various aspects of the play's production and Jones' development as the writer/director.
Series 5: Photographs is composed of photographs documenting the production and performance of the Chicago Passion Play.
Series 6: Memorabilia contains various awards—proclamations from the Mayor of Chicago, trophies, and plaques—spanning Jones' career as writer and director of the Passion Play.

That "one thing"
Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever. Psalms 125:1 (NKJV)
If you could have that "one thing" on your life's resume, if God showed up and gave you a blank check that you could fill in with absolutely anything, what would it be? Would it be unending wealth, unparalleled prestige, or an unsurpassed intellect? Would it be an experience, an object, or an insight? Really…what would that "one thing" be?
This isn't one of those questions where there's no right or wrong answer. There is an answer to this that's so right, so sure, that each of us needs to know it. If there's "one thing" we could ever want for ourselves, let it be trust, trust in the Lord, the kind of trust that we see here in Psalm 125:1.
In the original Hebrew language, the word here for "trust" conveys the image of leaning against something with all of one's weight. The idea is a complete confidence in the abilities of another thing or person. That kind of confidence in God is more valuable and precious than anything we could ever own or experience in this life.
When we trust in the Lord, we become as sure, solid, and stable as a mountain. Keep in mind that in biblical times mountains represented the ultimate and most extreme example available in the natural world. It's as if the Psalmist is saying here that when a person trusts in the Lord, he's truly arrived and can't do any better than that.
Above all things, we ought to value a genuine and confident trust in the Lord. It's the one thing that assures us permanence and stability not only in this life, but also in the life to come.
God, grant us an ever-increasing trust and confidence in You that's more valuable to us than any and every other thing in this world.
Think About It…
What does this passage reveal to me about God?
What does this passage reveal to me about myself?
Based on this, what changes do I need to make?
What is my prayer for today?

Monitoring snowpack and forecasting streamflows in the Southwest
It came in a caravan of white. Since mid-January, a trail of storms crossed the mountains and deserts of the Southwest, leaving the Verde River, Upper Salt River, Upper Gila River basin, and the Little Colorado River basins blanketed in snow.
The large snowpack bodes well for spring river flows in the Southwest. Forecasts for all major rivers in the upper reaches of their watersheds in Arizona and most upper basins in New Mexico suggest at least a 50 percent chance that spring streamflows will be more than 150 percent of average—good news for reservoirs such as the San Carlos Reservoir, which was nearly empty at the beginning of 2010.
Streamflow forecasting is the principal reason why the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) monitors nearly 2,000 stations and focal points around the West using automated snow telemetry (SNOTEL) stations and manual measurements. These forecasts are integrated into management to help water managers, for example, decide how much water to dole out to irrigation districts and the amount to release from reservoirs. The importance of the forecasts merits a closer look at how snowpack is measured and monitored and how streamflows are forecasted.
Snow Monitoring
Near the summit of Mormon Mountain outside Flagstaff, Ariz., a large rubber pillow filled with anti-freeze is spread on the bare ground. When snow accumulates, sensors inside the pillow measure the weight and calculate the water content in the snow, often called snow water equivalent, or SWE. A nearby pole supports weather devices that monitor air temperature and solar radiation, among other climate variables, and a rain gauge measures the precipitation.
Seven hundred automated SNOTEL systems like the Mormon Mountain station pepper the high country in the West. Each hour the stations transmit radio waves that bounce off the ionized wake of micro-meteorites, dust-size particles that constantly disintegrate in the upper atmosphere. Several NRCS hubs in the West receive the data, administer quality control, and release the information for public consumption.
In Arizona and New Mexico, about 40 SNOTEL stations have been established where snows often accumulate. Most are situated in remote places at elevations between 8,000 and 9,000 feet. The NRCS installed these stations in Arizona beginning in late 1970s.
"Most stations are located in meadows or open areas and near the crests of ridges separating watersheds," said Dino De Simone, Water Supply Specialist for the NRCS. Sites are often on north aspects; if they were placed on the southern slopes that receive the brunt of the winter sun they wouldn't be measuring much snow in Arizona.
The value of snow surveys was recognized long before engineers discovered how to reflect radio waves off cosmic dust. In the mid-1930s sites were selected for manual measurements. Surveyors skied or snow-shoed into the remote sites, called snow courses, to collect data about twice a month. Many of these snow courses are still operational today and account for about 60 percent of the 1,950 automated and manual monitoring sites in the West, including Alaska.
Snow course sites have the same characteristics as SNOTEL—they sit near basin divides, at high elevation, and away from the tree canopy—and the SWE and snow depth measurements at snow courses are made at six locations in a 50-foot transect. They have one major drawback, however: they are periodic, made only when someone visits the site, so weeks can pass without insight into the snowpack conditions. In that time, intense storms can dump copious snow or rain, or a warm spell can cause rapid melting that elevates flood risk.
New Mexico has 23 SNOTEL and 39 snow courses (Figure 2). Arizona has 21 and 23 respectively, including the newest station, which was installed in October in the Four Corners region of Arizona. SNOTEL stations have made data collection easier and more rapid, but snow courses remain vital.
"We still want to have manual measurements to help ground-truth the SNOTEL data," De Simone said. "When we install a new station we often locate them near a snow course. If the measurements are similar over a five-year period, the snow course site isn't necessary."
Automated SNOTEL stations are high tech compared to the old fashion stations. The basic SNOTEL station provides snowpack, water content, snow depth, precipitation, and air temperature data. The more sophisticated SNOTEL stations also are equipped to measure soil moisture and temperature at various depths.
The data generated by SNOTEL and snow course measurements are used by researchers, state climatologists, and fire and forest managers. The greatest value of the information, however, is found in the streamflow forecasts that are built on the snow measurements. These forecasts are used by irrigation districts and for reservoir operation, domestic water use, power generation, and flood control.
Streamflow forecasting
Most of the usable water in the western states originates as mountain snowfall. This snowfall accumulates during winter and spring, several months before the snow melts and appears as streamflow. Because the runoff from snow is delayed, estimates of snowmelt runoff can be made in advance.
In Arizona, forecasts from spring streamflow are made every two weeks between January 1 and April 1. Forecasts are issued once a month and continue through May 1 for New Mexico and through June 1 for the Upper Colorado River Basin states, where snow tends to linger on the landscape.
The NRCS bases its streamflow forecasts on a statistical model that uses historical relationships between SWE at a given date, total precipitation since the water year began on October 1, and the spring streamflow. A linear relationship between these three variables allows estimates of spring runoff to be computed as long as the SWE and total accumulated precipitation is measured.
The model works well in snow-dominated systems like the Upper Colorado River Basin, said Angus Goodbody, forecast hydrologist for the NRCS. But forecasting for Arizona and southern portions of New Mexico is challenging because a single large precipitation event can swamp the winter totals, and temperatures at higher elevations often can be above the freezing point, melting snow before spring arrives.
"We deal with the trickiness in Arizona by forecasting streamflows every two weeks, which allows us to see big storms approaching," said Goodbody.
But, he said, the statistical model prevents early winter forecasts from projecting high spring streamflows generated by extremely wet winters, like this year. Even though forecasters knew El Niño increased the likelihood of big storms, the streamflow forecasts were low in the beginning of the winter, said Goodbody.
Forecasts of spring runoff at the beginning of the winter, for example, can give a broad brush new of what to expect, Goodbody said. Most of the error in long-lead forecasts comes from one unknown variable—future weather—and forecasters will never be able to hone in on a specific streamflow forecast number until weather forecasting improves, he continued.
Forecasts become more accurate as the winter unfolds and more of the total precipitation has fallen. In snow-dominated basins like those in the upper Colorado River, measurements of SWE and total precipitation since October 1 made on April 1 can explain 80–90 percent of the expected streamflow in June. The other 10–20 percent comes from the whims of the weather. The NRCS is not the only organization in the business of streamflow forecasting. The National Weather Service has 13 River Forecast Centers (RFC) in the U.S. that also issue forecasts. For the Colorado River basin, the RFC uses a similar statistical approach as the NRCS but also incorporates a hydrologic model. These two groups generate independent forecasts, discuss each together, and then issue one official forecast after reconciling the differences, if any.
Is the drought over?
For the 2009–10 winter, all of the major river basins monitored by SNOTEL stations in Arizona had more than twice the average snowfall as of March 15. It's a similar story in central and southern New Mexico; stations in the Mimbres watershed, which drains the southwestern corner of the state, posted more than three times the average snowfall.
After one of the driest monsoon seasons on record, the constant stream of winter storms improved or expunged short-term drought conditions in the region, leaving some to wonder if the drought is over.
"It's hard to argue that short-term drought is not over in many parts of the Southwest," said Mike Crimmins, a climate science extension specialist for the University of Arizona and affiliate of the Climate Assessment for the Southwest (CLIMAS).
Rain and snow since about December 1 will help moisten the deep soils, which will dampen fire risk in the spring. Rivers will swell in the spring, and extra water will flush through the system in some basins with reservoirs near full capacity. This will likely inject more water into aquifers, although how much is anyone's guess. Trees and winter vegetation also will flourish.
There are caveats, however. The winter storms bypassed the Upper Colorado River Basin; as a result, forecasts suggest that spring streamflow into Lake Powell will be around 67 percent of average.
In addition, it is difficult to assess the effects of one season's drought on the following season. The dry monsoon season, for example, likely caused grasses to release fewer seeds. There is a chance that even with an average monsoon season in 2010, pastures will be less robust because fewer seeds germinated. Another nuance is that the ecosystem of the Southwest is primed for seasonal rain. If it comes, all is green. If it doesn't, drought recurs.
"Drought comes and goes rapidly," Crimmins said. By the time summer rolls around, most of the wet winter will be a distant memory.

Angelina Jolie's Red Carpet Retrospective
Angie might be known best for her sultry pout, but she's got a very stylish side you won't want to miss seeing.
By Allison Ramirez
December 13, 2011 10:00 AMJanuary 1999
The then 24-year-old Angelina sparkled in this embellished Randolph Duke gown at the 56th Annual Golden Globe Awards in 1999. The following year she won her first Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in the film Girl, Interrupted.
January 2001
Angelina slicked her hair back and wore a platinum satin Versace gown to the 58th Annual Golden Globe Awards. Although her body looks great, we're not really feeling the dark, goth makeup — we prefer a smoky-eyed or au natural Angie.
July 2003
After two years of Tomb Raider fame, the sequel, Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life propelled Angelina to superstardom among video game buffs and movie-lovers alike. She looked stunning at the film's world premiere in a black cowl-neck gown.
February 2004
Girls all over (including us!) flocked to seamstresses to replicate the white satin Marc Bouwer gown Angie wore to the 76th Annual Academy Awards. The flowing train, knotted waist, and plunging neckline say classic beauty over and over again.
March 2004
We love us a little leg! Angelina appears almost fawn-like in this nude mini, gold pointy-toe pumps and mile-long gams at the world premiere of Taking Lives.
May 2004
Menswear Alert! No one can pull off basic black-and-white like Angelina, and you'd be hard-pressed to find a woman who looks as sexy as she does in a classic suit. She wore this one well to the 57th Cannes International Film Festival Premiere of Shrek 2 and there was nothing boyish about it.
September 2004
Angie took it easy at the 61st Venice Film Festival world premiere of Shark Tale. She wore washed-out bootleg denim with a white tank, and spiced up the outfit with a gold embellished bolero and matching gilded pointy-toe pumps.
September 2004
This white dress Angie wore to the Los Angeles premiere of Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow is simple, but not spectacular. What draws our eyes to Angelina in this picture are her bright red shoes! It's a rare occasion when Angie wears color and the pop of red brings an element of surprise to her outfit that makes it work.
June 2005
Talk about a vixen! Angelina was full-on vamp in a leather halter gown at the 20th Century Fox premiere of Mr. & Mrs. Smith. The smoky eyes, big hair and bare shoulders add to her allure, and we can bet Brad wasn't the only guy who couldn't take his eyes off her that day.
October 2005
Besides her acting, Angelina might just be known best for her humanitarian ways. Three of her six children are adopted and she's spent much of the past ten years visiting refugee camps around the world. The devoted mother attended the 1st Benefit Worldwide Gala for Worldwide Orphans wearing a sleeveless, but modest cream lace gown.
January 2008
We love ombre and we love this vintage Hermes gown Angie wore to the 14th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards. No one knew it at the time, but she was concealing a Jolie-Pitt baby bump under the loose-fitting frock.
July 2008
Loving the sophisticated black trench Angie wore to the 13th Annual Critics' Choice Awards! She channeled a modern day Jackie O., diamond earrings, soft curls, and all.
May 2008
Four months after she was spotted at the SAG Awards with a possible baby bump, Angelina flaunted her (very big!) baby belly in a gorgeous green Max Azria Atelier gown at the 61st Cannes Annual Film Festival screening of Kung Fu Panda.
January 2009
We want to raid Angelina's closet the dresses just keep getting better and better! She emitted an understated elegance in the most gorgeous draped ice-white Max Azria gown at VH1's 14th Annual Critics' Choice Awards.
August 2009
Angelina was half biker girl, half siren at the Weinstein Co. screening of Inglorious Basterds. Though the film starred her hubby Brad, Angie ruled the red carpet in a black leather strapless midi dress by Michael Kors.
July 2010
Angie wore a seductive black, sequined Emporio Armani mini dress to the Los Angeles premiere of Salt at the Grauman's Chinese Theatre. Not only does she look phenomenal, her ear-to-ear grin also radiates how happy she is.
August 2010
Angelina, you gorgeous woman, you. As far as we're concerned, she could wear a bed sheet and still look fabulous! The Amanda Wakeley loose-fitting tank gown Angie wore to the UK Film Premiere of Salt, which might not work on someone else, was perfect on her.
January 2011
Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! Angie really wears her dresses well. And although she usually sticks to neutrals, we're so glad she donned this emerald green Atelier Versace gown to the 68th Annual Golden Globes — she's a real gem!
May 2011
Somehow, the more dark the clothing and accessories, the better — if you're Angelina Jolie, that is! Angie wore all black: patent pumps and belt, and a calf-length dress (with a sexy thigh-high slit!) to the Los Angeles premiere of Kung Fu Panda.
May 2011
Hollywood's highest-paid actress dazzled in this bright Grecian one-shoulder Jenny Packham gown at the Los Angeles premiere of The Tree of Life. Can it really get any better than this? We think she'll be able to manage it somehow, and we can't wait to see what she'll wear next!

Suspect named in Tacoma house-trashing incident
We all remember the story of the giveaway house in Tacoma. Somebody posted an ad on the Seattle area Craigslist inviting folks to take away whatever they could find inside an otherwise unremarkable home. The response was eager and effective. Woodwork and fixtures vanished out the door. What was left was trashed. The incident aroused much online interest.
There was some police interest as well. Tacoma police told CNET News.com there would be criminal charges filed. And now the accused hoaxer, the person who invited the world to trash, has been charged.

Thread: Wiper Blades
Wiper Blades
I have a 2011 Silverado. Are wiper blades only available at the dealer? I looked at mine and they look different than other blades. Not sure how to change them. I looked at Walmart, but the wiper blades on the chart don't look like the ones on my truck. Thanks in advance.
11-15-2011, 06:42 AM #2I did have to buy my 07 at the dealership, they were like $35 but I will say they have held up well. I have heard that there is an adapter out there but by the time you buy it and the aftermarket wipers the cost could be nearly the same. But if you don't have a dealer nearby that could also cause problems. I know some sites like Rock auto and Auto anything advertise wipers but I never looked into whether or not these were OEM or not...

11-15-2011, 05:23 PM #3Ironically wiper blades are the only thing I buy at the dealer, there is a major difference I think in fit and quality. They are not fun to get off, because they are so long that you can't get them turned enough without hitting the windshield. It takes a lot of finagling
11-15-2011, 07:20 PM #4I went to the dealership today and WOW. They were 20 bucks a piece - $40.00 for the pair. But like the parts man said, you won't find any in town except at the dealership. They seem simple enough to install, just squeeze the tabs and pull out. I will get them with my next check.

Keep your kids' bathroom organized!
At our house, bath time is an entertaining event. My son crawls around the bathtub. My daughter likes bubbles and splashing. Both kids love playing with their bath toys. Over the years, we have accumulated a lot of rubber duckies, squirting bath toys and plastic boats. Now that we have two kids, there are more toiletries, hooded towels and clothing to manage. As a result, our kids' lavatory can become messy. However, there are 10 quick solutions for a better-organized kids' bathroom.
1. Organizing Caddy
My son uses a different shampoo than my daughter. My daughter also needs a detangler. Keeping all of these items in an easy to reach caddy allows me to quickly access the bath products. When bath time is over, the toiletries can be organized.
2. Mesh Toy Holder
I love the mesh toy holders because they keep all of the toys contained. In addition, it allows the toys to dry out. This way those rubber duckies don't harbor mold and mildew.
3. Hooks
Hooks are great for hanging hooded towels. It prevents towels from being left on the ground. This means less mess for mom and dad.
4. Hamper
My daughter needs a gentle reminder to put her clothes in the laundry basket. Keeping a laundry basket near the bathtub helps us keep the clothes off the ground.
5. A Container for Everything
My daughter has at least 50 hair bands. I keep these in a small container in the medicine cabinet. We have a big basket for towels. I use old baby wipe tubs for cotton balls and swabs.
6. An Extra Cabinet
Our house doesn't have a lot of storage. Thus, we bought a small floor cabinet to store toilet paper. It has a drawer to keep toothpaste and toe nail clippers.
7. Suction Cup Toothbrushes
Suction cup toothbrushes prevent toothbrushes from falling in the sink. Kids simply stick their toothbrush on the countertop and cover the bristles with a toothbrush jacket. My daughter thinks it's fun to suction cup her toothbrush to the counter.
8. Personalize It
Kids are bound to get their cups and towels mixed up. Soon, each person has two cups and two towels. Monogramming their towels and washcloths will reduce the amount of dirty laundry. Designating a cup for each child can eliminate extra items in the bathroom too.
9. Rotate Toys
At one point, my daughter had too many bath toys. We kept half in the bathroom and half in the hallway closet. Every few months, I switch the toys.
10. A Minute to Clean it
An uncluttered bathroom is always easier to organize. At the end of the day, I give my daughter a "minute-to-clean-it." This is when we go through the bathroom and pick up anything off the ground or loose in the bathtub. It's amusing and it works.
These organizing tips have reduced the amount of time we spend cleaning up our bathroom. This leaves more time for fun!

Car Borrowing and Registration Questions
As far as insurance goes, I'm covered to drive the car for a month on his policy and I'll be getting my own. I'm not sure about registration and all though. The car's owner is in IL and I'm in CA. Does the car need to be registered here? I don't know the first thing about this so would really appreciate help! |

Re: Car Borrowing and Registration Questions
The "most" trouble I think you'd get in is if the police or someone notice a non-state car parked in the same place for a long period of time. (Be it your driveway or apartment parking lot, whatever type of residence you live in.) Then you might get a ticket in which case you go to the traffic court, explain that it's not your car and you're borrowing it from out-of-state owners. Either the ticket will be dismissed or you'll pay an annoying fine, more likely the former. To cover all of your bases in this regard, I might suggest getting a notarized letter from the car's owner explaining the situation that you can show the police should you have any trouble. But, largely, you'll be fine. I know a guy who kept his car registered in a neighboring state under his parents' address because the personal-property taxes were lower over there. He lived on this side of the state for several years on these out-of-state plates for years without any problems. I know another guy who drove on expired tags for almost six months before getting them re-newed, no problems. (Aside from fines, late fees, when he finally went to the DMV to renew.) You should have no trouble at all, Kestra. Good luck with what is going on with your life and hope it gets better for you.

Horribly Depressed
Re: Car Borrowing and Registration Questions
As for insurance, I don't think having a policy on a car you don't have an insurable interest in is valid. If you were leasing the car, financing it, or owned it outright, that would be an insurable interest. But you are only borrowing it, which means you have no insurable interest--only the owner does. The owner would have to obtain a policy that covers additional drivers. I'm not sure which state you would need to do it in, though. Most likely the state in which it will primarily be driven. A national insurer like Geico or esurance or AllState would probably be fine for that. Note that I'm only talking about insuring the car. If all you want is liability coverage, then that can be in your name and it doesn't matter who the owner is, since you aren't wanting a payout for the car itself. I know about this because I had an insurance agent explain it to me once, because I had a similar situation with a borrowed vehicle.
Why are you talking to me? Shouldn't you be shooting me? It's fine to hate me. Everyone does. The Journeyman - Buy it now! Maybe? My world simulation project! My blog |

Streets are prioritized based on a street risk assessment matrix that scores : PCI; Average Daily Traffic (ADT); safety; and public input. City streets are inspected and assessed using a MicroPaver Pavement Management System. Various pavement distresses (type, severity and quantity) are used to determine a Pavement Condition Index (PCI). The PCI is similar to a grade of 0 to 100 with 100 being the best. Streets in the PCI range of 0 to 55 are considered poor and are candidates for rehabilitation/reconstruction. Possible funding options for rehabilitation/reconstruction for arterials and collectors:Bond in PhasesBond street programs have been passed by voters in general referendums for three consecutive general elections illustrating the need for reconstruction/rehabilitation of City streets. Voter approved Bond 2004 included $68.3 million in street improvements. Voter approved Bond 2012 included $55 million in street improvements. City Council has asked staff to prepare a plan to reconstruct a group of streets every two to three years. Those decisions will go to the voters. The plan is based on a street risk assessment matrix which includes the Pavement Condition Index and addresses "worst first." |

Susan D. for Model Number JSP69
Answer Susan, part number WB31T10012 isn't listed as being compatible with your appliance model number. The 8" light gray is part number WB31T10012 and the 6" is part number WB32X5104. Unfortunately, the 6" has been discontinued. The WB31T10012 is a 6" the only difference that we can verify is that this has a center cut out hole whereas the one listed for your model is a solid pan. You can try this part and return it within 365 days if it does not fit. Thanks.

1. Duke 's Coach K will yell at the refs. His demeanor will be intimidating. And, alas, he will lead his Dukies to the Elite 8. Americans from sea to shining sea will not be pleased about this.
2. Butler will beat Bucknell in its first game--because they're Butler. They will advance to at least the Sweet 16--because they're Butler. They have marveled us in March Madness several times before such as two runs in recent years to the championship game on Monday night. Coach Brad Stevens gets his team to play severely tenacious team defense. They showed how feisty they could be in the national title game against Duke. Whatever he's doing--and I can't figure it out--it's effective. Any team they play will find it tough to score.
3. Belmont will make at least six three point shots in its opening game. I know nothing about them but hear they can really launch the pill. If they win their first game, they will be featured among the lead stories on Sports Center's late shift with anchors Neil Everett and Stan Verrett. Some guy who leads that team to victory, no doubt someone whom 99.99999999999999999999 percent of Americans have never heard of, will enter our collective consciences. That person will be a fleeting flirtation, however, because Belmont will get ousted in its second game. Still, the Belmont fling will have been pretty nice while it lasted.
4. Millions of Americans will not watch the segment when President Obama fills out his brackets because we've seen that movie before several times over two presidential terms. When he fills them out, he will pick the favorites and therefore won't make the endeavor noteworthy. No upset picks, no conflict, no story.
5. Marshall Henderson, the wild and whacky shooting guard from Ole' Miss., will ole' miss at least ten shots in his opening game and shoot below 33 percent from the field. With all the national TV exposure he has received in the past few weeks for his on-court, three-finger eye gesture and downright quirky and slightly disconcerting personality, the opposing team will make it a point to defend him closely. A key part of their game plan will be squelching his production to ensure he doesn't make an even bigger name for himself. His team will lose and we may not hear from him for several months, at least not in a basketball context. Wouldn't surprise me, though, if he showed up in some other newsworthy context.
6. There will be at least 25 Allstate commercials with that guy who falls and breaks everything. The commercials will not get any funnier or more interesting as long as he is in them being destructive. In millions of American living rooms there will be quick and casual conversations about whether the commercials are a nuisance, entertaining, or stupid. Some will raise the point that the series of Geico commercials released a few years ago, based on the "I have good news and bad news" themes, were much more clever and effective. They outdid Allstate's mind-numbing and head-banging, which are akin to a poor man's "Rambo" sequel. American will decide they don't care enough about insurance to analyze the ads any further.
7. Doug Gottlieb and Seth Davis, CBS's one-two punch of March Madness analysts, will disagree regularly in their assessments of tournament action. America will become increasingly uncomfortable and turned off by their strained and incompatible personalities and slightly vitriolic disagreements. By the Elite Eight round, Gottlieb will become borderline strident while Davis will maintain his calm demeanor he learned from his Duke days. By the title game on the upcoming Monday night in April, America will decide they don't really like watching either of them especially together. Acrimony doesn't sell when all people really want to do is watch buzzer beaters and underdogs rise up.
8. Seventy-three percent of the time will be spent watching commercials and twenty-seven percent watching basketball. There will occasions when we will get six commercials then come back for one minute of action and then back to four more commercials. I will go to the kitchen during fifty-two percent of those commercials hunting for something to eat. On some of these treks I'll contemplate driving to Buffalo Wild Wings for a take-out order.
9. Nate Wolters of South Dakota State will lead his team to an upset over Michigan in the first game. He will score at least 20 points and hand out nine assists. CBS will do a feature on him showing a vistas of the South Dakota State open terrain before they dive into shots of his high school gym.
10. Win or lose, Marquette coach Buzz Williams will say something poignant during his post-game press conference. The content of his remarks will drift beyond what actually happened in the game to something more meaningful, a life lesson of some kind. Constantly in search of the meaning life, I will guzzle his Kool-Aid as I have the past several years. Buzz will make me feel consoled that watching all the March Madness will have been a worthwhile expenditure of a few hundred hours.

I was on a panel at the DCIA Cloud Computing Conference at the NAB show in Las Vegas.
You can hear the entire panel here.
The topic was Privacy Issues, Reliability Questions, Security Concerns in the Cloud Computing Space, and the panel included:
Perhaps my biggest takeway from the show was that broadcasters have a very ambient-friendly view of the cloud. Rather than picturing data centers or centralized clouds, their content is "in the cloud" if it's out of their hands. The difference between their content being on an iPad vs. on Amazon Web Services is often lost.
As a cloud purist, this bothers me. But as a huge fan of the ambient cloud, I think the broadcaster view is more realistic. Whether your content is on a CDN or on a distributed network of end devices with DRM, it's still your content. The nuanced difference between content protection and cloud protection definitely showed itself on the panel.
