4.36/5 rDev -4.4%
Picked up this 2012 vintage bottle in a great trade with Evan! Pitch black pour with a one finger caramel-colored head that fades quickly with minimal lacing. Bourbon and milk chocolate dominate the nose along with hints of licorice, oak, booze, and some subtle dark fruit. The taste really rich and is once again dominated by the bourbon and milk chocolate along with hints of fudge, licorice, vanilla, dark fruits, espresso, brown sugar, and oak. The mouthfeel is medium bodied and slightly syrupy with a smooth and subtly warming finish. Overall, this is right up there with my favorite BA Stouts. The ABV is well hidden and it's not as hot and boozy as most in this category. Highly recommended!

Bottle 24 of 1081. Virtually no head on black, looks like a wine. carbonation still there though understated.Smoth mouthfel. Rich bourbon,not overpowering but substantial. Chocolate and coconut, this was barrelled a while, some mustiness. Better as it aired.Steve's bottle, thanks for not putting it up on ebay. My bottle shared with Liam.

I got one of the last few at Bestway and Iam thankful to Roger for it.Poured into a snifter jet black with a one inch deep beige head atop.Aromas of chocolate and roasted nuts mixed with alcohol dipped dark fruit,very rich and appetizing.Thick and chewey in the mouth,it coats the mouth and glides down easily.Wow the complexity on the palate is something to savor,dark roast and chocolate with some nuttiness and even some faint wood smoke,the alcohol is big but not over bearing lending some sweetness to go along with some deep raisin notes.You really gotta give it to guys or gals who can craft a beer like this,so rich and lush but with so much complexity,kick ass that's all I can say about it.

Mmm... Bell's Black Note. Half Expedition Stout, half Special Double Cream Stout - two beers that I love - aged for months in old bourbon barrels. How can you go wrong, right? This is one of those beers that often gets compared to KBS and BCBS, so needless to say - I'm very excited to try it. The pour is pitch black as it tumbles out like old motor oil that should've been changed months ago. The half-inch tan cap lasts for longer than expected and leaves behind some wet lacing. Very nice looking beer.
The aroma follows suit for this style of beer very closely. In other words, it's pretty fantastic. The bourbon barrel notes are the first thing to jump out - smooth bourbon, wet oak, vanilla. Very powerful without being brash. Lots of rich chocolates up front, too. Milky sweet and savory. Nice, sweet molasses underbody with plenty of roasted malt and coffee in the tail end. The aroma has a perfectly inviting warmth to it. It doesn't change much as the beer warms up, it just gets stronger. I'm okay with that.
I certainly don't think I would have been able to pick out Expedition or DC Stout had I not been told, but after taking a few sips, I certainly can believe it. The mouth feel is fantastic. Silky, smooth, chewy, robust, thick - just so pleasing to let this one sit and swish around your palate for a bit. Huge robustness right out of the gate with a solid bourbon character that lasts from start to finish. It has one of the richest, creamiest, and most full-bodied inductions of chocolate that I've ever tasted. Sweet, delicate cocoa with a faint wisp of bitterness. Milky, creamy, and elegant.
The barrel flavors are definitely pronounced and become even more heady twenty minutes in. Heavy oak and vanilla, still with the solid meshing of warm bourbon. Some lightly burnt coffee beans make their way in and out, but must really be searched for. The roast from the malt injects a little more bitterness that plays well with the sweetness of the beer and the warmth of the booze. A nearly perfect trifecta of balance is happening on my palate. The finish shows some super-dark, bourbon-soaked and lightly sugar coated fruits; dates and figs being the best descriptions. That's what reminds me the most of Expedition. The finish has lots of dark chocolate, roasty malt, and oak-soaked bourbon with a fading vanilla note. Incredibly complex and super enjoyable.
Incredible beer. I love both of the base beers, so mixing them together and aging them in bourbon barrels is most-likely going to be a success, and it definitely was. Very drinkable for being nearly 12% ABV, but it's still better to enjoy this one over the course of an hour. Insanely complex and insanely delicious - get some!

Poured from a 12oz bottle...2012 vintage.
About an 1/4 inch of espresso colored head that vanished very quickly.
Its as dark as midnight,when poured its a lil thinner then oil.
It smells of coffee,bourbon and vanilla....the best smells that comes from beer IMO.
Taste is the same as smell,AMAZING ..although I prefer some more bourbon I understand the 2 years it aged it deff calm the bourbon flavor allot.Mouthfeels is quiet smooth and not very chewy as allot of BA beers are.
Overall one of the better BA beers Ive had up to date....Highly recommended.

Wackiest motor vehicle laws of 2013
Published On: Feb 22 2013 03:20:56 PM CST Updated On: Feb 25 2013 01:00:00 AM CST
There are plenty of motor vehicle laws that are more practical than weird and were created to enforce legitimate safety for passengers and vehicle operators. Then there are the following laws that seem like they were created more for entertainment than for public safety.

Madonna: Just Letting Down Fans Left And Right
Thursday, August 30, 2012
Madonna can't seem to do anything right by her fans lately. Not only did she cancel her Australian tour dates to spend time with her kids -- but she will also not be performing with Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera at her upcoming MDNA tour shows in Los Angeles. According to JustJared.com, Britney and Christina were rumored to be joining Madge for a special performance to follow up their set at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards.
A source for Britney said, "We have no current plans to do anything with Madonna in the near future. We love M and are big supporters but Brit is currently focused on X Factor."

It's a monster gobbling up every other part of state government's budget: Illinois's $100 billion dollars in unfunded public employee pensions. Facing a deadline for action Wednesday, Governor Quinn and the general assembly formed a new committee and set a new deadline.
Unable and unwilling to rescue taxpayers from the crushing burden of that monstrous pension debt, the governor and legislators decided, "Don't just stand there. Let's do something!"
The general assembly's brief special session went pretty much as every other deadline day has for years on comprehensive pension reform. It came. It went. And now there's yet another, new deadline.
"I've set July 9th -- that's a Tuesday -- as a deadline for the general assembly to propose a comprehensive pension reform agreement that can be put on my desk, we can pass into law," Quinn said Wednesday.
To negotiate and write that agreement legislative leaders appointed a bipartisan committee with 5 members each from the House and Senate. One, Northbrook's Rep. Elaine Nekritz, warned immediately that the group would need more time, adding, "I don't think the (governor's) July date is real."
One key reason, the state's powerful public employee unions. They give millions of campaign dollars to both Democrats and Republicans in Springfield. They vow to make no more concessions, insisting it would be unfair to retirees counting on their promised state pension. Many analysts, though, said union concessions so far are too small to solve the pension funding crisis.
The governor's number crunchers said the unfunded pension liability Illinois grows $17 million a day -- that's $86,400 every second of every day.

Since BlackBerry Jam Americas, I've been been spending some quality time on the Dev Alpha B hardware. Overall I am loving the Hub and Flow and Peek features that shape the BlackBerry 10 experience. Knowing that what I'm playing with is a limited BB10 preview build, I'm by no means in review mode as I use the device. But that doesn't stop my mind from brainstorming ideas on how to further refine the user experience.
One such idea is in regards to Active Frames. Active Frames is the name given to the minimized running apps on BlackBerry 10. Remember, they are not widgets or tiles, but rather are running apps showing an alternate state for their minimized size. Tapping on Active Frame immediately takes you back into the full size app. There's no loading here. It's instant.
As of now on BlackBerry 10, you can have up to eight Active Frames open at the same time. The Active Frames display by recency. The app you've opened last shows at the top left corner, and you work across and down from there. If a ninth app is opened, the oldest open app, which is the app showing in the bottom right corner of the open eight, is removed from the Active Frames view.
In practice, I've found this setup for Active Frames to be intuitive and friendly to use. It makes sense that what you're doing right now always shows at the top. Even though the Active Frames are constantly moving around as you flow between multiple apps, I haven't found myself wasting time hunting for an app that I want at that moment. What I want always seems to be right there.
That all said, I know many CrackBerry readers have expressed some concern over this always-changing layout of the Active Frame screen and the notion of having the ninth app causing the the closure of the eighth oldest open app.
Is this a valid concern? Maybe. Maybe not. Either way, I have a potential solution for it... the ability to "pin" or "hang" (as suggested in the comments below) an Active Frame open.
Follow me here... think about the main app icon tray, where you tap and hold on an icon which puts them into an editing state. Once in the editing state, you can rearrange icons or put them into folders, etc. By extension of this functionality, I think it would be sweet if you could tap and hold on an Active Frame, thus putting it into an edit state. And from there, a "pin" icon could be added to any active frame. Once an app is pinned, it would go to the top of the Active Frames view and always be in that location and open. In other words, it's immune to be closed off the Active Frames list as you continue to open and use more and more apps. So if you always want BBM or your Web Browser or anything to always be open and right there accessible, it can be.
Make sense? Good idea? Confused? It's definitely a confusing thing to read bout, so be sure sure to check out the video above to match the explanation to some visuals. I think it'll all make sense then. Be sure to let me know what you think of this one in the comments!
I like the idea - works for me, and I think a lot of people will get to the point where they will want that at some point in their flow getting used to the new OS
shabbs Oct 17, 2012 at 2:49 pm
They need to allow this to behave in two ways. The first way with the most recent on top etc... as per the current design and the second way allowing for total customization and placement/pinning of tiles. Two modes, toggle between as you see fit and everyone is happy. That is, of course, the BlackBerry way. Customization is KING and key.
Jimcmf Oct 17, 2012 at 7:31 pm
Firstly ..... Don't ever toss that BB around like you just did! Apologize to it. Do it NOW!
Secondly , why can there only 8 be opened at once? Why not unlimited?

Memory? Threads?
bbbruva Oct 17, 2012 at 2:54 pm
Absolutely agree... BBM is the most important thing to me on BlackBerry and would always want it at it's fastest access point. Email I can always swipe to as well as other things but that's a great option and as simple as it is it's extremely useful.
shingi_70 Oct 17, 2012 at 6:52 pm
won't bbm always be there becuase you peek to the hub
uzmarvel Oct 17, 2012 at 3:57 pm
The idea itself is not that important because no one keeps 8 active frames at the same time. You may use max 4-5 apps at the same time but thats it and in this case BBM never goes away. As above post already said, you're going to adapt to new OS. BB10 is not like Android where you switch to Home screen and forget about the app you just closed but instead in BB10 it'll just be there waiting for you to close it when you dont need it.
Maybe something I'm missing here, but isn't BBM already always running in the background as it's part of the "hub"? You get notification (or not), swipe up-->right and bingo - open BBM... yes? no? maybe so?
What would be the purpose of "hanging" or "pining" something that's already running in the background regardless?
Unless the mail, sms, bbm icons in the "hub" only activate if you get a relevant message.
mkye86 Oct 17, 2012 at 7:26 pm
The Idea is not only restricted to BBM. You could pin any App. And I am assuming the HUB will only have messages received and messages sent.. then you would have to peak to compose a brand new message to a brand new contact. Ideally having BBM pinned to the HS would work better that way you have the full app available to do whatever you need to do with in that app.. not just read and reply to msgs..
CeeXTwo Oct 17, 2012 at 1:30 pm
Makes a lot of sense to me and I hope they implement it. You can rest assured that certain apps will ALWAYS be open...BBM, Browser, Twitter. It would be nice if we didn't have worry about re-opening them.
Good call KM.
GreenLeaf182 Oct 17, 2012 at 1:30 pm
I like the idea
jechow Oct 17, 2012 at 1:34 pm
+1 But does this mean that a BB10 phone will require more RAM/memory than an equivalent IOS or Android phone. Thus, I am wondering if 2 GB be enough if Pinning was allowed?
00stryder Oct 17, 2012 at 2:02 pm
I don't think this is an issue. The pinning or "hanging" idea for active frames is basically just the ability to prevent certain open apps from being forced closed when a 9th app is opened. It doesn't imply that you would keep 2,3,4, or x number of apps open indefinitely and then on top of that open up 8 more. So from a memory standpoint it should not require anymore memory than it would to keep 8 apps open all the time.
I would have to say that, regardless of pinning, BB10 should definitely have 2 gigs of ram. If rim wants multitasking to be a big selling point, they need to ensure that the dreaded clock is never seen even when memory hogging apps (especially anfroid apps that require a java vm to be running in the background as well) are loaded. 8 multimedia apps all resident in memory simultaneously may be extroardinarily difficult to do in 1 gig :/
Rootbrian Oct 18, 2012 at 7:09 pm
Android apps don't use a java vm. They use the android runtime for blackberry.
glennster28 Oct 17, 2012 at 1:31 pm
great idea.
m23haz Oct 17, 2012 at 1:31 pm
I think its a great idea and I would actually be surprised if RIM didn't implement this at some point.
kozmo68 Oct 17, 2012 at 1:31 pm
Awesome Suggestion! Options, can never provide people with enough options..
Just Bring The Damn Phone Out Already!
simu31 Oct 17, 2012 at 1:35 pm
I like the idea, but you know as well as I do some idiot would try pinning 8 Active Frames and then complain when they couldn't open the 9th app.
I guess they could limit it to pinning 4 Active Frames.
anthonybaker Oct 17, 2012 at 1:37 pm
they would have to call it something eles thou so not to be sued by microsoft, like..... "hanging"
hmm hanging an active frame lol i liek the sounds of that
BBPandy Oct 17, 2012 at 2:13 pm
Hi Kevin, when you edited the blog post title it seems you added an extra "g" to the word "pin" ;)
WOW....that's awesome phrasing. I love the sound of that.
TripNFry Oct 17, 2012 at 1:38 pm
While i like MOST of the idea, I'd rather have the option to "Pin" the app open and in whatever position i want instead of always at the top.
How about always in the #2 app spot or always on the bottom right of the second row.
How bout pinning it with a splat, maybe color code the splat for priority, just a thought *
sk8er_tor Oct 17, 2012 at 1:39 pm
I like the idea of pinning but the idea of putting active frames into folders is somewhat confusing.
Bold_until_Hybrid_Comes Oct 17, 2012 at 1:39 pm
Pinning is a good idea. Its like the ones they choose for us to always be there when you hold down the blackberry button currently. BBM is always there, browser, etc. Instead of them choosing these few like it is right now it should be us choosing which active frams to keep open. The problem lies with how many they should allow. I imagine there are only 8 active frames made available to help stop people opening mass amounts of apps and losing memory. So I think there would have to be a limit of how many Pins you can choose. I'm just wondering what would happen if you pin 8 items then try and pen anoher app. "You must close an app before opening this one so you can still have the pin?" That is for them to figure out
mapsonburt Oct 17, 2012 at 1:55 pm
In a previous demo, they showed how you can have more than 8 apps open but only 8 would show up in the active frames... not sure how you select it but I remember seeing 10 running in one demo.
jenks5150 Oct 17, 2012 at 1:40 pm
Man that thing looks fast.
raoul_duke Oct 17, 2012 at 1:44 pm
So I can have only 8 apps open at the same time?
Bbm, whatsapp, music, browser, calendar, clock (timer), weather, scoremobile.. And I can't open another one?
Oh RIM, I am starting to get worried... Active Frames is just like minimizing apps (no wonder it "opens instantly kev) on the playbook. I don't think it has the same comfort like widgets. I am also worrying about memory drowning... My 9900's free memoryspace is down to a minimum most times of the day, if they don't put 2gb ram in this baby...
Oh please RIM, don't screw up!
PostMortem Oct 17, 2012 at 2:14 pm
This was my take-away as well. I like the active frames, but there has to be an alternative task switcher too. I'd hate to say it, but for me, it is much more concerning to be able to get back to the same screen that I was on within an app then to have a fancy "active frame".
Maybe I am missing something though, in addition to active frames, are you able to task switch between ALL open apps, or are you stuck using 8 at a time?
Unless they're under powering OS10, it is a step backwards, not only from PlayBook OS, but backwards from OS7 too if they only allow you to take switch between 8 apps.
Someone PLEASE clarify for me, I really hope I am misinterpreting this.
Before anyone asks, yes-I often do have more than 8 apps open on my phone and sometimes (although less often the case) on my PlayBook.
PS-I love the pin (hang) idea, Kevin, I don't like the limitation of 8 active apps and I can't believe you didn't express your opinion on that-or seemingly don't care enough about it to express it.
Kat0908 Oct 17, 2012 at 2:34 pm
Yeah you two are mistaken. The active frames show the LAST 8 apps you have used. You can have as many apps open as the device memory allows but only the 8 most recently used apps will have an active frame. The other apps you can just click on the icon and it will maximize where ever you were last in that app
PostMortem Oct 17, 2012 at 3:15 pm
Thanks for that, I wish it were clearer. So there will be no task switcher? To get to an open app that is beyond the 8 housed in the Active Frames, you have to locate the icon again in the home screen?
Any chance you can point me to a supporting article or video. Just to ease my concern...
DaedalusIcarusHelios Oct 17, 2012 at 2:42 pm
This worries me too. If the app stays open but just doesn't show in the screen, there's no known way to switch to it except for attempting to launch the app again from the app grid. Perhaps anything past eight can be put into a sleep mode where their state is frozen (and resources freed up), but can still be selected and you can resume from where you were. They could make those "inactive" frames look different - maybe the opacity is half or something.
I wonder how apps that are more like services will run too. Would they show an active frame? Maybe having those (and perhaps the inactive frames idea above) could be right after the 8th active frame, and perhaps just look more like the apps in the app grid. It would sort of be like the recent apps in Android, except they are running but in a service-level or inactive state.
padamssm Oct 17, 2012 at 1:45 pm
Yes! It's how I work on my computer. I always keep certain apps open.
This reminds me of something else I need - to have more than one instance of Word or Excel open at the same time so I can go back and forth when I'm editing docs. I'm thinking primarily on the PlayBook but with BB10 being on both I'm extending this thought to the phone.
RootingForRIM Oct 17, 2012 at 1:45 pm
Kevin, this is off topic from your post, but a while ago Crackberry put out the article with "the List of Stuff RIM Needs to Solve for BlackBerry 10 to Succeed". How are they doing so far?
How about putting up on Crackberry some sort of pinned dashboard or Arrivals board to indicate the status of each of the items from that list? Just a suggestion.
good point.... rite... its something that would be required.. we'd b defntly needing bbm to b active no matter what... and a few other apps.. so good 1 kevin...
BB 9780 white os 6

mapsonburt Oct 17, 2012 at 1:58 pm
Why would you need BBM, facebook, twitter, etc to be pinned when they are already in the hub? I'd be thinking of apps like GPS, web browser, favorite game, etc. (That being said, I don't think they should be restricting the full client app from being pinned.... just saying, don't understand why you'd NEED them).
jayemmbee Oct 17, 2012 at 1:53 pm
That would be good for like a weather app or something that always changes like twitter, bbm or Facebook
jeffreyhoty Oct 17, 2012 at 1:54 pm
The idea is good however I think the BlackBerry Hub was initially designed for those uses their inbox frequently so that we don't need to pin those PIM applications, but 9 other applications at the same time.
Bold_until_Hybrid_Comes Oct 17, 2012 at 2:19 pm
with conveince keys I always use my most frequent functions. When we had two conveinience keys it was music on the left and messages on the right. Now we have one and its just messages. Well next we dont have any but we have the hub. I do not even need that key to do my most frequent thing any more. Brilliant
jeffreyhoty Oct 17, 2012 at 3:28 pm
I'm sure the customisation of the BlackBerry Hub will have more potential. At the end of the day, we need a phone that really know who we are and what we wanted to do to make our life easier.
Masahiro Oct 17, 2012 at 1:56 pm
I had a similar idea, where you can press and hold active frames and move them about, as well as pinning them in any position.
I'd put something like...a sports score app in the bottom left corner. That way, when I'm on the lock screen, I could quickly peak through the bottom left corner by swiping up to check scores and whatnot, without having to swipe all the way up. That's just one example.
Bold_until_Hybrid_Comes Oct 17, 2012 at 2:21 pm
i agree and would want that too. thinking about it from an outsider standpoint though its sad that we have come to the point where its just TOO much to use out finger to swipe 4" instead of 1". lol
WillieLee Oct 17, 2012 at 2:00 pm
Great, now when BB10 comes out people will be complaining that you can't pin active frames.
BBPandy Oct 17, 2012 at 7:59 pm
lol yeah probably
bigbadben10 Oct 17, 2012 at 2:02 pm
Being able to customize the open app location and pin it to your desired location would be a very smart feature. It's all about customizing the phone the way you want it.
Great video Kevin!
G-bone Oct 17, 2012 at 2:04 pm
I wouldn't be surprised if they already have this covered. Remember, they've just been giving us "peeks" at what they are doing...
However, any suggestions we can come up with is good - nobody thinks of everything.
The one thing I liked this about widgets was being able to keep items in certain places. Having post-it reminders on my homescreen, as opposed to having to go look for them and open them, was a great help. The whole idea is to help me remember things. If I have to go look for the app, I'm gonna need a reminder for that! LOL
00stryder Oct 17, 2012 at 2:09 pm
I love this idea and like a poster above mentioned, this is already implemented in the Windows and Mac desk-/laptop OS's. I think that it would be fairly intuitive for users and they would appreciate the ability to keep their browser or Pandora app open indefinitely while they move and "flow" through other apps during the course of their day.
I think though that apps like BBM shouldn't be included in these active frames given that messages on BBM should technically be accessible via the BlackBerry Hub. I know RIM is including a standalone app for BBM, but I think it takes away from the whole "always running in the background" experience of the Hub. I don't know, it's probably a lot more complicated to implement if done that way, but I think something like BBM should function similarly to the Hub (just as you can send Facebook and Twitter messages from the message app on the PlayBook without actually opening the app).
00stryder Oct 17, 2012 at 2:15 pm
Sidenote: Why hasn't Kevin been officially contracted by RIM yet?! Over the years, his ideas alone could vastly improve the user experience on BlackBerry. (Or has he? Hmmm...)
guddibaba Oct 17, 2012 at 2:13 pm
It does makes a lot of sense cuz the whole purpose of having the desktop is to access your app right away rather than look for the desired one. You may end up spending the same amount of time looking around in desktop area as you would spend running the app from the icons page and wait for it to load. The only advantage it would give is the state that will be saved while its in active state.
I would like to add further.
- Pinning as Kevin suggested so that app never gets closed unless user specifically choose to close it.
- Don't rearrange the desktop whenever a new app is opened and allow arranging of active frames the way it allows arranging of icons in application area.
- If there is not much constraint on hardware or something for allowing more than 8 apps running at the same time except that users have 20 apps running at the same time and it the app users wants on 5 fifth page etc. If that is the case than allow atleast 12 or 16 apps running and allows them to be grouped in one single folder in desktop area the way it allows in application area. Good usage of this feature would be package all the running games in one folder, business apps like contacts, calender in second folder etc..
HabsSuck Oct 17, 2012 at 2:14 pm
Kevin you should be on RIM's Payroll they need a mind like yours. Maybe if they hired you three years ago article's like the NY Times would never have been written.
beavertail2 Oct 17, 2012 at 2:24 pm
This is a different brain storming idea.
I want for the consumer two separate sandboxes; one for trusted apps like banking, health record etc, one for normal surfing and normal apps. This split is similar to the personal/work split provided by Balance. A total separation between the two sandboxes to provide cybersecurity for the trusted side, to prevent Trojan horse attack from the unsecured side.
RIM can provide a trusted app store specially for the trusted side.
Consumer gets two virtual phones in one. This will be a HUGE differentiation for users who value cybersecurity.
For enterprise customer, they'll actually get three virtual phones in one - unsecured personal / secured personal / work.
00stryder Oct 17, 2012 at 6:20 pm
+1 I like the way you brainstorm. It'd definitely do a long way towards bolstering BlackBerry's reputation for security.

absolutely wonderful idea Kevin. Im not sure i would even need this but i could see many wanting the option. I guess it would make for a "faster flow" if you already knew where the app you wanted would be on the screen.
I would like to see this implemented.
p.s. That device makes my 9900 look dated. i cant wait for BB10
gorang Oct 17, 2012 at 2:31 pm
Why not instead of 'pinning' have 'favourive apps hub', swipe fron the bottom up and left (hub mirror) and u get list of, say, 5 apps that you marked at ur favourive, and they are always available to quickly reach them where ever you might be in the OS.
johuntbb Oct 17, 2012 at 2:38 pm
Maybe they shouldn't limit the number of active frames to 8...
LWKING Oct 17, 2012 at 4:20 pm
When would you ever realistically need to switch between 8 different apps?
Let's say you're actually able to think of a situation, how often would this consistently be the case? I doubt anyone here would shake their fist at RIM for not adding an additional active frame.
Unless you're showing off what the phone can do, this situation is highly unlikely. If you're that much of a multitasking machine, you're probably using your laptop/desktop at the same time anyways.
Foreverup Oct 17, 2012 at 2:42 pm
Love the idea Kevin some apps I open I just don't want running after I close them. would be a great update feature after BB10 is released.
blackhawksfan75 Oct 17, 2012 at 2:44 pm
I have 2 questions regarding these 'running' apps. I know from having other devices that if you leave an app 'running' the battery drains quicker as opposed to shutting them down. With BB10 having apps continuously running, what have you experienced with the Dev Alpha device, Kevin?
Second question and I know this may be a little to premature to ask, but what about data consumption through carriers outside of wi-fi? Will these 'running' apps cause my overall bill to skyrocket for usage?
starfleet_k Oct 17, 2012 at 2:45 pm
Sounds like a wonderful idea!! Would love to do that!
Techno-Emigre Oct 17, 2012 at 2:46 pm
I like the idea, MAYBE. I would want to prioritize and then pin as well as unpin easily. I love moving apps around on the screens of my PlayBook.
I am wondering if I am going to end up using an HDMI cable a lot with my BB10 phone as well as my PB. When I am giving presentations, I only want professional apps showing as people see my screens. And I only want the apps open I need for that particular presentation. I need to be able to do all of that quickly. I usually open apps I need before I start. I know I can open them in order, but it would useful to be able to keep changing order while in Presentation Mode so I am good to go when my screen comes back up. .
Basically, I want RIM to get BB10 launched. I wouldn't be surprised if they already have something like this planned, but if they don't I would rather save it for an update. Another way for RIM to keep grabbing consumer attention is to pound out some awesome updates.
nyplaya610 Oct 17, 2012 at 2:47 pm
That's an awesome idea. Also they should have a list view of apps instead of the thumbs view. From what I can see it can get annoying to scroll through 8 apps. The thumbs view is too big. Or maybe even make the thumbs view smaller.
Something that has been bothering me for a bit is these active frames and my wallpaper... I like my wallpapers. Will be able to place these active frames on a 'second screen' and keep the 1st screen clean with only my wallpaper? *shrug*
KasukeSadiki Oct 17, 2012 at 3:39 pm
I don't get why people keep complaining about not being able to see wallpapers. Isn't that what the lock screen is for?
diegonei Oct 17, 2012 at 2:56 pm
Kevin, you probably solved the issue most of us have been wondering about.
Care to phone our CEO and tell him about it?
Being a preview its quite possible RIM has this plus a lot of other things done differently. RIM came up with the whole active frames concept so I'm sure they thought about a lot more. Plus they know the limitations or abilities of the system so they probably know what they can implement.
kyleheney Oct 17, 2012 at 3:05 pm
My biggest worry with what I've seen so far in the BB10 software is the lack of an App Switcher like in the previous BBOS. The Active Frames are cool, but to quickly flip between open apps is really easy with the App Switcher (and even easier with the PlayBook OS). I was really hoping that feauture of the PlayBook OS would stick around in BB10 (love using the bezel gestures to switch between apps and even being able to "peek" at an an without fully switching to it is something I do regularly).
Maybe using the "Hub" gesture, but moving from bottom bezel up, then to the RIGHT could bring up some sort of App Switcher (like an ALT-TAB function in Windows 7 where you can see smaller versions of the open programs).
That's a cool idea. But you mean Left where you put right?
I'm thinking the current OS and UI are just a stepping stone so show us some basic concepts they have but the final product will have various different features that go beyond what we are seeing.
kyleheney Oct 17, 2012 at 3:25 pm
Yea sorry, you move your thumb to the right to open the hub (which opens on the left)... tough to explain without tripping up a bit!
So my idea is to move your THUMB to the left (after coming up from the bottom - - same as HUB gesture) which would reveal all open apps (similar to how the App Switcher brings up open apps when holding the BB button). Then, if you complete the gesture, can tap on whatever app you have open, and it also gives you a quick view of the open app, so if you didn't need to fully open it, you could release the gesture to return the current app.
I think thats a great idea. I use the BB button quite a bit.
mikelcal Oct 17, 2012 at 3:13 pm
I like! But then you could shold have a limit on priority apps. I'd probably get crazy prioritizing apps.
andrewmcwhirter Oct 17, 2012 at 3:42 pm
Pinning an app is a great idea, and would be a good option for the user. Something that needs to be done in the first iteration of BB10? Not really, but a definite nice to have.
Berry-cracked-up Oct 17, 2012 at 3:47 pm
Hey Kevin - I'm curious to know since you are the all-mighty-know-it-all-blackberry man....who I would assume have alot of contacts within RIM.... do you ever forward some of these suggestions to RIM folk as ideas for their products? And if so, do you have some type of document stating you are not at liberty to publicly acknowledge the fact that it was your idea, which means, you probably won't reply to this post. Do me a favor.....Type 1 space for yes....2 spaces for no. :) BTW - Love the idea of being able to pin apps. I say you can pin 2 or 3 apps max, which would allow a new app to at least appear on the first screen. I think this is a great idea. Who knows, maybe this is one of the functions they pulled out of the dev alpha devices and will surprise us at launch! They did say that they cut out allot of what BB10 can do out of the dev alpha devices, so I'm very curious to see what else they have up their sleeve! Keep up the good work Kevin, your posts are very informative and entertaining, and you seem to always have a knack on discussing topics that interests me. thanks.
msyogota Oct 17, 2012 at 3:52 pm
Brilliant idea I think it is absolutely the best possobiility, to be able to choose. Not to be forced to do it the way RIM wants it.
My guess is that the average user isn't multitasking between more than 8 apps at a time. Also, isn't the point of the unified mailbox to not have to pin the app to favorite. I just don't see how that save you time if its already running and you have a app shortcut anyway.
Simplicity is king and that just doesn't seem to address a need for a large enough market.
Skeevecr Oct 17, 2012 at 4:00 pm
One minor point about bbm and twitter, aren't they going to tend to expect you to be accessing that via the hub (or uib as it was) for immediate attention rather than having the app sitting there all the time.
Also, as far as the 8 app limit, maybe that is simply a safe limit they have imposed on the dev alpha hardware with it being enough that it shows how they work without tending to put too much demand on a device that is actually intended for devs to be using to produce bb10 apps.
corrieg Oct 17, 2012 at 4:07 pm
I agree with your suggestion Kevin, makes it more helpful to navigate.
sandrin96 Oct 17, 2012 at 4:10 pm
I think that would actually take away from the fluidity of the OS because depending on how many frames you "pin", your most recent app could end up in the third or fourth or fifth spot and so when you go to the active frames page, it would be more like having to search through the eight to find the one you want instead of just knowing "ok, I've sent a text and browsed since using app world so it will be the third frame". If they were to do this though they certainly shouldn't call it "pin" as that is straight out of windows phone. Hanging would be much better and more fitting since theyre called frames!
For me the usefulness of being able to pin something to the active screen would apply mainly to something like a weather app. The weather is something that i glance at frequently to get the current temperature, but do not open often. forcing it closed kind of defeats its purpose.
Something I noticed when Kevin was using the phone was that the OS seems to be a lot more responsive than before. For example, App World opened up right away even while there were 8 apps already open. Seems like what Thorestein was talking about: specs shouldn't be the end all of phones.
dantesinclair11 Oct 17, 2012 at 4:33 pm
I love the pinning sugguestion and the gesture option for favorite apps. I hope they can add a convenience key as I've not heard anything on it. That would make the L-series a beast.
The difficult, we do immediately. The impossible takes a little while longer.
ekkescorner Oct 17, 2012 at 4:35 pm
+1 for the 'pin' - there are always 3-4 apps I want to stay always running in background
Double_J75 Oct 17, 2012 at 4:37 pm
I like idea of pinning it, but I don't think I would use it. I am pretty sure that I don't use more than 8 apps at once (but others might). It would likely cause more battery drain so I would be closing anything I had open regardless.
BBGrind Oct 17, 2012 at 5:11 pm
Great idea, 2 pins will even be better, I will have BBM pin to one and Instagram pin to the other.
calicocat2010 Oct 17, 2012 at 5:21 pm
This is a great idea! I use 6 apps everyday.
digitalman101 Oct 17, 2012 at 5:49 pm
Like the idea a lot. Kevin, please make a change request to bb10!!!!!!
henry007 Oct 17, 2012 at 6:24 pm
true. brilliant idea
Hmm...Hungry Oct 17, 2012 at 7:00 pm
Awesome idea Kevin. Having the ability to lock some of these frames so I can ensure that I always have my key/favorite apps running, and in a familiar place, would be a much better experience. I truly hope RIM has some iteration of this idea in the works. I can easily see me pinning six of my most used apps . Just feels cleaner to know where to find them all of the time in active frames.
In general the frame screens are a unique area where RIM could do some fun and useful customization options. For example, let a user setup certain frame "states/themes" to activate - ie - be able to change all of my pinned frames at a click by theme. So if I'm in a gaming mode, at a simple click or swipe I can change out my six pinned frames to game related ones. Or if I'm walking into some meetings I could swipe and suddenly my six key work apps load up. Or if I'm in a picture taking mood with one swipe I load up Instagram, scrapbook, pictures, camera, Facebook etc. Just a thought - but the more I can customize and personalize my phone (for efficiency and fun) the better. And another powerful differentiator from ios.
mkye86 Oct 17, 2012 at 7:22 pm
Yeah I pretty much love that idea.. Its great.. RIM make it happen. I want it
baandoptager Oct 17, 2012 at 7:25 pm
Sounds like you should be getting a Windows Phone if you wanna pin. ;)
buckwylder Oct 17, 2012 at 8:33 pm
Flip through like a rollodex while they're stacked like cards, like cards even on a table, shuffle them where ever - or "auto lock to grid".
in the time of your life, live so that in that good time, there should be no ugliness or death for yourself or for any life that your life touches, seek goodness everywhere

chaddeus Oct 17, 2012 at 10:20 pm
Great idea!! Otherwise, you waste time searching for your Apps on Active Frames.
- Charles
Berryllium Oct 17, 2012 at 10:34 pm
I like Kevin's idea to enable pinning "apps" in the active frame windows. Other suggestion I might add is to keep four apps in the active frame window and be able to flip through ("up and down") like the Roll-a-Deck.
Marauder2 Oct 17, 2012 at 10:53 pm
How can you close apps, only by hitting the little x or by swiping up like on the playbook? How can you change apps, only by swiping up then selecting, or by swiping left/right like on the playbook? Also, does/any idea if the phone will be able to switch to landscape like the playbook or if only apps can?
These are some of my favourite things from the Playbook and am just wondering how they are implemented on the dev alpha software. Thanks!

I like it the way it works.
mundo472 Oct 18, 2012 at 4:44 am
Great idea
cyrus132 Oct 18, 2012 at 6:09 am
great idea but i think of the frequency of use comes into play. can you name 7 apps that you use more than bbm? it think it would be hard to close out a normally used app
4abetterworld Oct 18, 2012 at 7:38 am
I like the idea, but they might need to set a limit on how many can be pinned so as to not interfere with the user experience by having other apps close out constantly.
trsbbs Oct 18, 2012 at 11:58 am
4-6 would be good.
trsbbs Oct 18, 2012 at 11:52 am
Good catch Kevin!
I agree. If not added it could be a negative to BB10 at a time when it needs all the goodies and refinements at launch.
RIM would be wise to add this function and do it well.
Bahrutile Oct 18, 2012 at 1:47 pm
I understand the idea that specs are not the end all be all when it comes to phones, just like beauty in a woman is not what one should base any relationship on... how well someone hits it off or how smooth the interface is isnt what gets someone to walk across a crowded room or go to look at a mobile device. what i mean is this, you have to deliver a complete package not only on the phone but on paper as well... BB has a loyal fan base, but they also want to bring in new users, this means they have to find a way to make the BB fans happy and be able to lure the apple fan boys and the people who have settled for droids back over the Dark side and once again be a BlackSheep...
Bahrutile Oct 18, 2012 at 1:55 pm
more on the point, just because BB may not need to have the highest specs to run the way it does. If it has the same specs as the budget droids what will make people drop the high end money?
the first BB10 is going to be a full touch have something in the line of 1.5ghz dual core processer, gig or 2 of ram ect and this phone will be on a two year contract for 199.99 - 299.99 or somewhere close to that- I am looking very much forward to see what the BB10 phones can do, but i just got a Sony Ion for a $1.07 as an upgrade on a 2 year contract on one of the lines i have- its rocking about those same specs... this is what i mean when i say they have to be able to keep up with the jonses if they want to draw people into the big money phone market like the iphone and GS3 and the like...
im a smart person and i know that specs dont always mean better performance, but im not the one that BB is trying to make a point to convert...

This reminds me of the good old days where saved text messages were limited and you had to clean them out. In order to not delete any texts you wanted to keep, you needed to "LOCK" them. Then when you did a delete all, those locked messages would still be there.
Love this idea!!
p_voorn Oct 18, 2012 at 3:15 pm
Great idea, works for me. Can't wait to buy the new BB10
duoFurious Oct 18, 2012 at 4:51 pm
great idea but the threat of windows phone not liking the word "pin" because of the usage of it in their OS, but i do like the idea of keeping certain apps open all the time
Rootbrian Oct 18, 2012 at 7:26 pm
Would be a handy thing to have, but I would never use it really. I close the apps when I'm finished with them.
BB_Bmore Oct 19, 2012 at 3:02 pm
My only concern for BlackBerry10 is if everything is always open/running wouldn't that use a huge amount of data? I hope sprint adopts this as they have a truly unlimited data plan.
Searzy Oct 19, 2012 at 5:18 pm
I think the CrackBerry Team - Specifically Special K - Kevin should have significant input in the design process.
I've read some really cool ideas from Kevin, and the "Polls", allows community feedback.
RIM should "keep their ear to the ground" by using CrackBerry.
nabil114 Oct 20, 2012 at 11:34 pm
The idea is the good.
- Rezaur Rahman
- i would love to be able to control the size of each active frame, or choose one that will be dominating my screen while minimizing others and would love to have some more interactive behavior to them - for example, when minimized, a long touch to it will not open it but will enlarge it.
i would defiantly need the phone to be polished from stilling point of view - i love the new OS... BUT, i mind the looks as well, from 'trying to catch the crowd' point of view - this for sure will effect them to like it or to hate it.
Dude_9 Mar 23, 2013 at 1:28 pm
BlackBerry should just remove or greatly heighten the limit to the amount of Active Frames open to like 20 or 24
Eng.KoD Mar 25, 2013 at 7:35 am

Eng.KoD Mar 25, 2013 at 10:40 am

Comments On May 05, 2014:I had 2 ply Carlise ACT tires on my 13' Outlander that were always getting punctured. I purchased these tires and ride all types of terrain. I have not felt any difference in handling since installing these and I have yet to puncture these tires. They get lots of compliments from fellow riders. They laugh when they get covered in MUD when driving behind me. Best tires in my opinion.

Comments On Jan 02, 2014:I found a great deal on these tires and could not be happier. They shipped fast and the only problem i had was finding a shop that would put them on the rims. They are on and are better than expected. Used them for some trail riding and snow plowing. If you are looking for a good quality tire with and awesome ride these are IT.

Comments On Nov 04, 2013:Ive put close to 1000 miles on these tires and they have done great. The lugs have several cuts in them, but besides have held up well. In the mud these tires perform GREAT and only get stuck when bottomed out. On trail the tires are smooth and do great climbing hills. Couldn't ask for a better tire.

Comments On May 03, 2013:tires hook up well in mud. they handle pretty good on the trail also. the design rides smooth as far as the tread but they seemed a little out of round causing some bouncing over 30 mph. i am going to have them rebalanced to see if that helps. all in all seems to be a great all around tire.

The Goodman® GPH15M 15 SEER Package Heat Pump provides energy-efficient air conditioning and heating performance in one self-contained unit. This package unit uses the environmentally friendly refrigerant R-410A, which is chlorine-free to help prevent damage to the ozone layer. The Goodman GPH15M is housed in a heavy-gauge, galvanized-steel cabinet that offers a high-quality, UV-resistant powder-paint finish and allows for a groundlevel or rooftop mount.
This package unit heat pump can be easily installed in manufactured or modular homes which use smaller (high static pressure) duct work. The package unit can also be easily converted to accommodate a plenum for normal or low-static applications. The Goodman GPC & GPH series are self-contained package units so the only connections needed for installation are the supply and return ducts, the line and low voltage wiring and drain connection. The units are ETL listed and ARI certified.
Package Unit Heat Pump's Standard Features
Cabinet Features
Inside air conditioning systems are liquid/gas refrigerant. There are two types of this refrigerant available for use, R-22 (more commonly known as Freon), and a newer alternative R-410A.
An air conditioning system does not consume refrigerant, but reuses it. As long as there are no leaks in the refrigerant circuit, there is no need to ever add more refrigerant to an air conditioning system.
Although R-22 is an effective refrigerant, if it is released into the atmosphere it can contribute to the depletion of the Earth's ozone layer. The EPA has mandated the phasing out the use of R-22. It is being replaced by R-410A.
As of 2010, manufacturers are required to make all new air conditioners with R-410A. However, R-22 is still available for sale in existing pre-2010-manufactured equipment, and for use in servicing existing R-22 equipment. By 2020, R-22 will no longer be manufactured, but will still be recycled and available for sale.

see below for card lists
Can people put up images for each of the prebuilts so far and maybe a brief strategy and card order for each one. I mostly just what the pictures so people can quickly see each prebuilt and compare them with each other before buying.
The default files are pretty good especially orginal 8 prebuilts. I strongly recommend modifying files though to suit you/ folrart enviroment. Atleast chnage the souls up (atleast move positions) as it is important opponent does not know your exact ss arrangement - gives them an advantage usually. However if your new and not used to making/ changing files the chances are you will make the file worse so maybe ask help or check for such help threads on the forums first.

Re: Farmall A
Does the steering wheel have a keyed shaft or a splined one? From the picture, it looks like a 140 steering wheel (which is splined). It is supposed to have a keyed shaft to be correct for a Super A. Could have been changed over the years....or just the wrong steering wheel.
Re: Farmall A
It has the wrong steering wheel and no nut holding it on!--I think the tractor got hit by a Mack at some point!LOL!!---It is also missing a voltage regulator, and has the wrong generator on it! thanks; sonny
Re: Farmall A
Got the sa started yesterday, and runs great ,EXCEPT it dont have a front oil seal in it!!! LOL! ---yup, that sucker is totally gone!---that means taking the whole front end off just to put new one in!---no biggie, will also take pan off and check rod and mains,---It does peg the 80 pound oil gauge but has a 3 time knock upon starting when cold.---sounds like a low end area, so need to look around in there while its apart! thanks; sonny
Re: Farmall A
As per request,---here be the lever pics.! LOL!
Here are 4 different shots of my SA lever locations!---note in one pic that one lever has a missing clevis pin!--also you can see where the steering post was broke off and welded at, and angle iron added!
If other views or different angle pics. are needed,--just say so! thanks; sonny
Re: Farmall A
Thank you, just what I needed, I am missing the steering support on mine the PO has sub the early style so no place for me to mount the TC levers
Jim Turner
Re: Farmall A
The reason (most likely) the TC linkage is unhooked is because the PO changed the battery and forgot to put it back. Most commonly people put a small bolt in the place of the lost pin. To remove the battery, you have to unhook the linkage and depress the clutch. Also looks like someone converted the factory "pull start" over to key start like on a later model 140. Nothing wrong with that. If the steering support isn't strong at all, I'd replace it. If it seems to be welded good and is holding fine, then I wouldn't worry with it unless you just ran across a good replacement. A complete battery box would help hold things in place also, and the welded post might prevent a battery box from being installed. Those battery boxes aren't cheap, and I have some well made replacements out of some heavy gauge steel if you'd be intrested. I don't have the lids, but have the sides and that's really all you need. PM me if you're intrested.
Hope this helps.
Re: Farmall A
Not much time to work on the SA, BUT have the front rim off and have some patches slobbered over the ate out place for temp fix so I can put tire back on and do test drive and see what all else has to be fixed!
Whole front end gotta come off to put in new crank seal, governor has to come out to see whats up with it, and might as well take oil pan off and check rod/mains while I am in there!----old pig needs lotta work but I think its gonna make a great tractor when I am done!
Also have to make a 3-point for it like I did for the cubs! thanks; sonny

text: Was there a choice though? The way I saw it, Lori was a goner no matter what. Either way the baby had to come out, dead or alive. She was bleeding internally and wasn't dilated so c-section was the only option. Maggie cut her open with a dirty, bloodcrusted knife, with no medical training to guide her, so I imagine the incision was imprecise and messy. Not to mention the enormous amount of blood loss they had no way of replacing in the moment, and no tools to sew her back up again. All this being done in a non-sterile environment littered with risk of infection. I just can't see how they could've chosen to save Lori over the baby. Given the circumstances, the only life they could save was the baby. In terms of time, I would assume with lots of blood loss, one can die pretty quickly. If in fact she is dead, which has to be the only realistic scenerio, I'd wish the writers would give us definitive closure to her death. That bloated Zombie could not have eaten all of Lori's remains. But if somehow she is still alive, that would be ridiculous as well. How could Carol save her with no tools to sew her back up and no means to replace all the blood loss? Ah well. Guess just have to wait and see.

Applies to
- Client Deployment Pack for Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007
Fixes & Enhancements
Fixes -Not Applicable. Enhancements Added Features: - Allows importing of CCTK packages through a right click feature. This is different from the previous version which lays down the CCTK package at install time and does not have the capability to import newer CCTK packages 1. To import, navigate to "Software Distribution" -> "Packages" after opening SCCM. 2. Right click "Packages" and choose "Dell CCTK Package Import" -> "Import Dell CCTK Package" 3. Dell CCTK Wizard shows up. Browse and select the latest CCTK msi installed on the machine and click Finish. 4. A new CCTK package is created under "Software Distribution" -> "Packages" -> "Dell Client Deployment" folder. - Task Sequence wizard picks up the latest CCTK package installed in SCCM. When a new task sequence template is created using the plugin, DCDP 1.2 detects the latest CCTK package installed on SCCM and references that to create task sequence templates.

Great Purchase!
These were perfect for my party. They glow for a very long time, more than 4 hours. I used mine for at least 7 plus hours. Easy to break to get glow started. Would purchase again. Great product!

Easy choice
since my activation for Desert Shield/Desert Storm and the use of chem glow sticks for safety and identification in aircraft loading and unloading operations, I have used them for birthday gifts and emergency needs. when it was time to replace my supply I did an internet search. I use some sort of lanyard for the the "birthday safety candles." CoolGlow offered the best price/shipping offerings and included lanyards. Easy choice!

Sacred Scripture and Theology
This is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.
–John 17:3
The human person, created in the image of God, is made for truth. In the words of St. Augustine, the blessed life that all men seek consists in "joy in the truth — for this is joy in You, O God, who are truth" (Confessions X, xxiii, 33). According to John Paul II, it is the privileged task of the Catholic college or university "to unite existentially by intellectual effort two orders of reality that too frequently tend to be placed in opposition as though they were antithetical: the search for truth, and the certainty of already knowing the fount of truth" (Ex Corde Ecclesiae, 1). That intellectual effort finds its fulfillment in the study of sacred theology, the "science of faith" — the reasoned-out knowledge of things believed.
The subject matter of sacred theology is God himself, not merely as He is known to us by reason — by reflection on the things He has made — but as He is known to himself and has revealed himself to us. Through faith, we participate in God's own knowledge of himself and his providential plan for us. Faith is, therefore, a certain beginning of eternal life, "a foretaste of the knowledge that will make us blessed in the life to come" (St. Thomas Aquinas, Compendium theologiae 1, 2; cf. Catechism of the Catholic Church, 163).
The mysteries of faith transcend reason. "Nonetheless, revealed truth beckons reason — God's gift fashioned for the assimilation of truth — to enter into its light and thereby come to understand in a certain measure what it has believed. Theological science responds to the invitation of truth as it seeks to understand the faith" (Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Donum Veritatis, 6). Animated by love, the believer seeks to know better the One in whom he believes, and to understand better what He has revealed. Such growth in knowledge calls forth a more mature faith and a more profound love and equips the believer to give an account of the hope that is in him (1 Pet 3:15).
The starting points of sacred theology are contained in the deposit of the faith, handed down to us from the Apostles, transmitted in Sacred Scripture and Tradition. Therefore, in the words of the Fathers of the Second Vatican Council, "the study of the sacred page should be the very soul of sacred theology" (Dei Verbum, 24). Sacred Scripture must, however, be read theologically — not as a dead letter, but as witness to the living Word of God. It must be read, then, "in the light of the same Spirit by which it was written" (Dei Verbum, 12), the Spirit of Truth that animates the Church and guides her into all truth (Jn 16:13). As Benedict XVI has recently remarked, "When exegesis is not theological, Scripture cannot be the soul of theology, and vice versa; when theology is not essentially Scriptural interpretation within the Church, then this theology no longer has a foundation" (Address During the 14th General Congregation of the Synod of Bishops, October 14, 2008).
At Thomas More College, students spend two years building this foundation. We begin by considering the human search for God, its promise and its perils. We then examine God's own initiative on behalf of man — the divine answer to the human question — as revealed in Sacred Scripture. Select texts of the Old and New Testaments are read in their essential unity — as manifesting the one plan of God centered on Jesus Christ — and within the living tradition of the Church — that is, as authoritatively interpreted by the Magisterium and faithfully expounded by the Fathers and Doctors — St. Augustine and St. John Chrysostom, St. Gregory the Great and St. Bernard, Newman and Benedict XVI. The Word of God is also considered as the source of the Church's life of prayer and worship — as not only "informative" but also "performative" (Spe Salvi, 2).
Having secured the foundation, students pursue scientific theology proper in the fourth year, examining the mystery of Christ — the Word made flesh for our salvation — and the mystery of our new life in Christ. As the recent Holy Fathers never tire of repeating, "only in the mystery of the Incarnate Word does the mystery of man take on light…. [Christ] fully reveals man to himself and brings to light his most high calling" (Gaudium et Spes, 22). Our principal guide here is St. Thomas Aquinas, the "Common Doctor," whom the Church has always proposed "as a master of thought and a model of the right way to do theology" (Fides et Ratio, 43).
