Appearance - Very black with a thick tan head. Lots of sticky lacing lingers.
Smell - Dark chocolate, strong black coffee, and a hint of black liquorish.
Taste - As it smells but with a balance of sweet and bitter. I picked up some vanilla, burnt marshmallow, and mild citrusy hops as well.
Mouth feel - Creamy and smooth. Tons of coffee lingers. Good amount of carbonation.
Drinkability - Is Fantastic! A real gem! Glad I had the chance to try it. ABV hidden dangerously well. Definitely worth checking out if you can find it.

Split this among a few friends last night in celebration of the Hockeytown boys winning Lord Stanley's cup.Poured a jet black with a thinner creamy dark tan colored head,aromas obviously had deep dark roast coffee tones mixed with dark fruit and a hint of bitter chocolate.Mas what a silky smooth mouthfeel this is what make a very good beer a great beer no faults to its mouthfeel whatsoever.Flavors are rich but not overly so,smooth dark coffee and dark chocolate like a mocha espresso with a hint of spiced rum in the finish.A fantastic brew to end a fantastic night.

In this case Peche does not mean "peach". According to our waitress at Dieu Du Ciel, "Peche Mortel" (Imperial Stout Au Cafe) is Quebecois for "Mortal Sin". And indeed this brew was.
Served only in 750ml bottles at the brewpub, Peche Mortel is an Imperial Stout that has been aged with coffee beans over time. It was a pure black pour with almost no head whatsoever.
The nose was very sweet and oozed of espresso bean and chocolate. The mouthfeel was both rich and very smooth. Again, intense flavours of coffee & espresso bean overwhelmed the palate.
The finish lingered long, and pleasantly i might add. A wonderful dry, coffee finish. A perfect after dinner drink! To me, this is a true classic. High marks for amibitious creavtivity!

Many thanks to Flying Bison for the bottle.
Nice label. Nice bottle. Ugly price tag... I hope she is worth it.
Appearance: Atramentous as a tar pit. Complete in its opacity with a wonderful mocha head. Superb clinging, retention, and lacing.
Aroma: Freshly roasted espresso beans. A touch of cocoa. As a coffee drinker since age two, I cant help but drool over beers like this.
Taste/feel: Like enjoying a richly dense Hagendaaz coffee milk shake with added espresso and cocoa syrup. The intensity of the coffee is mind blowing. Its like they packed Juan Valdezs entire donkey in this one little bomber. I find some tobacco present as well as some burnt dark chocolate but at the end of the day this is a coffee beer through and through.
Drinkability: Perfect. I could sit in a café and drink this from one sunup to the next.
Is it worth it? For me, it is certainly worth the splurge to try it once but in comparison to similar beers from Bells, Alesmith, and Founders it just doesnt hold up for repeated visits because of price and obscurity.

As black as the night is long. Black hole black with a a light, mocha colored head, comprised of very fine and thin bubbles, leaving a clear-cut separation between the brew and the foam. Almost floats up and perches like the type of head you'd expect in a nitro-tap brew. Impressive looking little coffee stout, here... hold the cream and sugar, no doubt.
The aroma is unadulterated, straight up dark, roasted coffee. Italian espresso roast. Burnt ass French roast. Just insanely roasted, oily, dark, nearly burnt and charred coffee beans. Whoa... what's this? There's a very faint, underlying sweetness in the form of creamy vanilla that works to balance the roast. But balance isn't the key, here. The appreciation of fresh coffee beans is, so step back and appreciate, son.
The taste is more of the same. Lovers of all things java will appreciate this brew like crazy. Dark roast, like you've been handed a roasty, black cup o' joe from the promise land itself. A mild creamy and milky undertaking soothes things out for the wimp in all of us - but the roastiness is still a monster here, imparting delicate bitterness and mounds upon mounds of fresh coffee flavor.
A little astringency on the very back end with a subtle touch of deep, depp prune-like sweetness. Wow, I'm loving the ride that this beer is taking me on. The mouth feel is as oily as the beer looks; thick and boisterous, taking no prisoners. Carbonation is but a rolling boil, and it works really well to retain the creamy and smooth characteristic of the beer, matching the flavor profile nicely.
I had always heard about this stuff and wondered if it was really as good as everyone says. Short answer... yes, it is. It's fabulous. If you're a coffee lover and addict, like myself, then you need to treat yourself with this beer. The coffee element is nearly second to none with it's excellent aroma, flavor, and layered characteristics. Definitely one of the top coffee stouts I've had to date.

Serving date: 2009-03-23. Served in pint glass.
A: The pour is rather thick, almost black with a fantastic head - Very big, pale brown color, thick and very creamy (almost reminiscent of a nitro-induced head). Very good head retention. The beer looks really great. Might be the best looking imperial stout I've ever had.
S: Plenty of espresso-like coffee aromas, very rich and powerful. Freshly ground dark roasted coffee beans, plenty of dark chocolate, roasted malts and notes of toffee.
T: Very rich and powerful. Strong espresso flavors, freshly ground coffee beans. Big dark chocolate flavors as well making the taste resemble that of café mocha. Some creamy notes. The coffee flavors are backed up by a very firm stout-backbone with a solid sweet maltiness. Some nuts and molasses. The bitterness in the finish is gentle and has a coffee bitterness feel to it. Some warming alcohol in the finish, but other than that the alcohol is very well hidden.
M: Full bodied, soft carbonation, slightly sticky and rather smooth.
D: This is a great beer with a wonderful espresso-like coffee profile. Rich, rather complex, powerful and dense. Even though the coffee flavors take the lead, it still feels very well balanced.

Reviewed on 8/28/10 prior to attending the Traverse City Microbrew Festival. Thanks, TCGoalie for this treat. Split two 11.2 oz. bottles between TCGoalie, BuckyFresh, and myself.
A: I think this is the prettiest stout that I've seen. It pours nearly pitch black with a nice 1 finger, mocha head into my very large snifter. The head was like the top of a carboy as beer is fermenting - tumultuously bubbly. The lacing is splashy and sticky.
S: Big coffee notes at first, backed up by a dark chocolate and alcoholic heat in my nostrils. Some tobacco and leather undertones are also present. This is a big and creamy smelling beer. I am also smelling hazelnut, amaretto, kahlua, and lots of vanilla in Peche Mortel.
T: Right as the beer hits the tip of my tongue, I get a nice cigar smoke character, which is complemented by a lovely biting, acidic coffee flavor throughout the sip. In the middle of each draught, the rich, creamy, and sweet flavors cascade onto the middle of my palate. Then at the end of each sip, that acidic coffee taste reemerges from the background. This is a very earthy taste.
M: There is a lot going on here - a great bite on the sides of my mouth throughout, while the middle of the sip reveal a full, rich, creaminess. Those two feels balance each other wonderfully.
D: This is a very complex beer that I will certainly have again. The heavy bitterness does knock it down just a wee bit for me, though, as I wouldn't want to have too much in a sitting.

A- Oily black with a creamy, light brown head
S- Great aromas of dark chocolate and espresso with a light woodiness and subtle fruitiness, rum balls.
T&M- Starts out smooth and chocolatey and finishes with roast and subtle hoppy flavors. Nice vanilla milkiness in the fade with warming alcohol.
One of the best coffee stouts out there.
11-18-2009 00:18:38 | More by brownbeer
3.8/5 rDev -13.6%
Aroma- Earthy, deep carab, chocolate, a hint of acridity gives it an edge, deep and layered, but tight and not jumping out of the glass
Appearance- Thin, dark espresso head leaves no lace.
Taste- Coffee flavor is there, in tandem with a strong dark chocolate character. There is some residual sweetness to this beer, but it is a low base flavor. Doesn't come close to being a milk stout. A little molasses or sourghum flavor begins to hang on the palate in the aftertaste with continued sipping.
Mouthfeel- Very long finish is the only place where alcohol is detectable along with an astringency from the dark malts and maybe coffee. Sounds unpleasant, but kind of dries off the palate for the next sip. I would call this a full bodied beer with a silky mouth feel.
Overall- This is very well-made beer. It is a unique Imperial Stout with a very focused emphasis on a couple of flavors. It is an intense sipping beer that may not be for everyone and would probably be best paired with some kind of dessert or even, dare I say it, tobacco. If you are the kind of person who spends 8 bucks on designer chocolate at the healthfood store, you'll probably love this.

A - Very dark black. Not much foam, no retention, no lacing.
S - Coffee, roasted malts, chocolate
T - Tons of coffee bitterness. Not much chocolate flavors which is surprising. Roasted malts. The carbonation really helps to clear the palate.
M - Full bodied. Nice creamy mouthfeel with a fairly clean finish. The abv is disguised very well.
O - Great stout that I'm glad is easy to find in my area. Looking forward to trying Aphrodite next.

Today's column focuses on a fantastic wrap that is easy to make, healthy, inexpensive and most importantly, delicious. In fact, I've been fixing them on the weekends so my wife and I can take them to work for our lunches. It is refreshing with a bit of a bite delivered from the broccoli slaw.
Say what?
You heard me. Broccoli slaw.
Let's begin.
Most importantly, to allow these wraps to reach their full potential, it is important we review how to properly grill chicken breasts. The danger with grilling chicken breasts is that there is a small range of time where the chicken goes from undercooked, to perfectly cooked, to leather. And in this case, we use boneless and skinless chicken breasts, so the margin of error is even tighter. If grilled over direct heat, the outside becomes rubbery or leathery by the time the chicken is fully cooked (160 degrees Fahrenheit)
We did this recipe on a gas grill. The first thing I did was preheat all areas of the grill on high heat. While that was happening I sprinkled my pork rub on the breasts (recipe below, though you can use any sort of seasoning you like.) Once the grill is hot, I turn off one of the flame sources on the left or right. If I am using charcoal, I use indirect heat.
Place the breasts on the end of the grill that has no flame underneath it. We cooked four breasts which yielded 8 wraps. Close the lid and allow the chicken to cook for 7 to 10 minutes. Flip and allow to cook for another 5 minutes. Now move the chicken to the area of the grill that is over the flames. Finish cooking over the direct heat to provide the chicken with the outdoor grilled texture, turning occasionally. Bring in the chicken and let it rest.

Will it snow next week? That is a question that cannot be answered with certainty at this time.
What is known right now is snow is a possibility along the coast of South Carolina Tuesday night and Wednesday.
A low pressure system is expected to be located off the coast by Tuesday. Just how close to the coast it get s will determine if the area receives no snow, a little snow or a significant amount.
The National Weather Service has been reluctant to put a snow chance in its forecast but other weather forecast companies, such as AccuWeather, do mention snow for the area Tuesday night and Wednesday.
In fact, WeatherUnderground which can be found at the top of our website is calling for a 30% chance of snow Tuesday and an 80% chance Wednesday.
While the National Weather Service does not currently have snow in the forecast, its meteorologist say in the latest forecast discussion if there is precipitation, it will be in the form of snow.
Bottom line. Stay tuned.

The burst rocket is super! We were able to launch the foam tipped rockets to 300' (one white burst disk) easily or to 1000' (two red burst disks) with a bit more effort. One caveat: you'll need a good pump to launch to 1000'. Also, we were able to get the rockets to come down within a 20' radius of our launch site -- a good thing. Little kids loved it but so did teenagers -- now that's a great product.

Led by Player of the Year Tanner Winchester, the Mitchell Mountaineers took home the team title Tuesday at the Western Highlands Conference championship at Hendersonville Country Club.
Winchester led all scorers with a two-day total of 156, and led Mitchell to a team score of 667, just two strokes ahead of runner-up Avery County.
Hendersonville's boys, who were led by Alex Yarborough (165, tied for fifth) ended up in third place with a 729. Polk County was fourth with a 737, Mountain Heritage fifth with a 746, and Thomas Jefferson and Owen both tied for sixth with matching 760s.
Winchester, who started the day two strokes off the lead with an 81, rallied with a 75 to take the title. Just three strokes back in second was Avery's Shae Buchanan with a 159. The top area finishers were Polk County's Will Ballard, who tied for third with a 164, and Hendersonville's Yarborough, who tied for fifth. Both earned all-conference honors as well as Ballard's teammate, Will Trakas.
Although Hendersonville didn't qualify as a team for the 1-A West Regional tournament, it will be sending three golfers to compete as individuals Monday at Mill Creek Country Club in Franklin: Yarborough, Zach White and Tully Grasiano.
Polk County did qualify as a team for the 2-A West Regional tournament, which will begin Monday at Glen Oaks Golf Club in Maiden.

Alright, so I just finished watching this fight and man, what a fight!
I almost forgot about the competitive spirit that was ruling the day that night. I have always been quite reserved when discussing De la Hoya. I don't know how to feel about him but one thing is for sure, Oscar COULD fight.
The beginning of the fight was the war of jabs and again, Ike Quartey had ONE HELL OF A JAB and was landing that shit with consistency and mean intentions. I liked Oscars combinations..nice, fluent..they didnt always hit the target but the right hand made an impact and it was visible that Ike's team wasn't counting with Oscar using it.
Middle rounds were nothing else than a takeover. Ike asserted himself as THE man - especially in the 6th round after he KDd Oscar after being on the floor himself.
Later rounds were in my opinion controversial - Again, Oscar wasn't doing shit until the 12 and oh my god, that must have been one of the most thrilling rounds I have ever seen. Although De la Hoya dropped Ike again in that round he wasnt able to finish him off and punched himself out.
When I put all my biases away, I would still gave the fight to Quartey because I think he deserved to win as he was fighting for the whole 12 rounds and was fighting really well. On the other hand Oscar was lacking discipline and fought on 100% only on few occasions. Of course Golden Boy couldn't lose the decision so I am not surprised that he won on the judges scorecards and also, arguments can be made about him actually winning the fight.
Thoughts ?

I agree! It was a "ballsy" effort by Oscar and he really put his foot down in the 12th, shame he didn't put Ike down for good. I think he closed it in the best fashion possible... as a champion in the championship rounds.
But I still have to go with Quartey. As an underdog he gave Oscar run for his money and out-worked him for the majority of rounds imo.
Look forward to hear your opinion C'.

Great fight. When Oscar went for the kill after the knockdown in round 12.. Quartey lands a right hand counter off the ropes and Oscar ran for the rest of the entire round.. This fight should have been scored a draw...

Guys, I hope that this is the last time you'll ever hear me say this, but I had the same score cards as Harold Lederman. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nea.gif)
Firstly, it's been years since I sat back and watched this fight, and I must say, Lampley's oral juggle of Oscar's testicles, was unbearable at times. The only reason that I didn't mute it, was because I wanted to hear what Foreman had to say. Hell, Merchant was hardly biased in that fight, and that says a lot.
Rounds 1-4 were pretty close, with little action, just a lot of jabs, but as for clean punches, not many landed between the two of them. From the middle of round 4, Quartey began to get a bit busier by pressing the actions with feints, that played a big part in the 5th (which I gave to Ike).
Round 6 was great, both were victims of bad timing and balance, and I cant say that either were all that hurt. If anything, Oscar may have slightly panicked the most after he went down. Quartey asserted himself more after they traded knockdowns, so I gave him the round.
7,8, and 9 went to Quartey, I'm not sure what happened to Oscar. Again, neither guy truly hurt each other up to this point, but Ike's right hand found it's home, and Oscar abandoned his jab from time to time...a weapon that kept Quartey careful for the first half of the fight.
I cant get it through my head why Lampley kept "queerishly" harping on the fact that Quartey was known to throw about 80+ punches per round, but was limited to around 40 per round with Oscar...simple solution now that think about it, man crush. Problem solved. Foreman wasn't too big on Ike's highly regarded jab, that was funny. Lol.
Oscar dug deep in the 10th, and edged it. Cant really remember what else happened, other than him landing that left hook a few times. Oscar's body work was good throughout the fight, but George mentioned that it was a bad idea because Oscar was the taller man, and throwing to the body would cause him to have his head lower than it should've been.
11th round, Ike beat Oscar to the punch, and was busier. Of course we all know what happened in the 12th when Oscar put Ike on his ass again. Bad move for IQ, dude got caught in the middle of his punches once again. He was okay when he stuck and moved, and did even better when he was able to turn Oscar. I was almost sure Ike was about to get stopped, but Oscar worked against himself and was punched out. Glad there wasn't a lot of time left on the clock and Quartey was on shakey legs.
I missed watching Oscar's old fights, I must admit! The only thing that killed me about him throughout his career, was his lack of confidence with quicker fighters, and his need to pull out all the stops (outside help) made him look like a sucker from time to time.
Those Daisey Duke trunks and small 80's workout shoes, were always a dead giveaway that he tried to maximize his speed, when he really had it all along, he just got caught thinking too much during fights with faster guys. In that sense, he was mentally beating himself up, while getting outworked and sometimes outpunched by faster guys.
Anyhow, I had it 114 - 133 in favor of Quartey. At one point, I had the 3rd round in favor of Quartey, but went back and gave it to Oscar, and I STILL had him losing on the cards. Whoever those two judges that had it 116 - 113 and 116 - 112 in favor of Oscar, should be kicked in their asses. Really? I know that the fight had some early close rounds, but damn, what were they thinking?

Finally C'...I almost thought you forgot (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Im glad I am not the only one who saw Quartey edging it out ! I like your point about DLHY thinking too much when fighting quicker opponents. He definitely dropped a ball or two because of this.
Also, Oscar's jab....I don't understand why he abandoned it in some fights. That punch alone could win fights.

We met in 2005 at work. He pursued me to date him. I turned him down 3 times before agreeing to a drink; only to explain to him that I didn't want to date someone I worked with.
3 months later we were married. Craig was a very persuasive attorney. He fights for what he wants. 5 months after that he was diagnosed to be in the very early stage of Early Onset Alzheimer's at age 59. As a new bride I was told I was going to be a widow within 10 years. Imagine. Devastation for the both of us doesn't even begin to touch what we felt. He is the LOVE OF MY LIFE.
Two years ago this month my 55 year old husband was diagnosed with Young Onset Alzheimer's Disease. This was not exactly unexpected as we had seen "symptoms" for approximately 2 years before he was diagnosed. The past two years have been extremely difficult in many ways watching my strong, handsome, smart husband become totally dependent on me. He is no longer able to drive, pay the bills or even write his own name without assistance. He has no idea how old he is, how long we've been married, how old our children are.
CARMEN'S JOURNEY - My wife's name is Carmen. She was born and educated in Romania and was once a political prisoner for six months. I opened a business in Romania in 1992; Carmen and I met in Romania in 1996 and we were married in 1999. After arranging for Carmen's immigration status in the states, she decided to pursue a career in the healthcare industry. Despite speaking very little English at first, she pursued this course of study and graduated with a 3.85 average. She was in her early forties at this time.

UNCW Press Release
WILMINGTON, North Carolina – Freshman forward Samantha DeFreese came off the bench to score 13 of her career-high 15 points in the first half to lift visiting Northeastern past UNCW, 67-52, in Colonial Athletic Association women's basketball action Sunday at Trask Coliseum.
The Huskies won their second straight game to improve to 15-10 overall and 8-6 in the CAA. The Seahawks, honoring their three seniors on Senior Day with the weekend pairing, now stand 3-22 and 2-12.
Senior guard Kashaia Cannon and junior center Jewel Tunstull of NU led all scorers with 16 points apiece. DeFreese's 15 points made it three players in double figures for the Huskies, who shot 42.1 percent on the day.
NU was playing without leading scorer Deanna Kerkhof, who averages 13.7 ppg. The senior guard was sidelined with an injury and did not play in her second straight contest.
Freshman guard Dana Brown matched her career-high with 14 points, equaling her previous total of 14 points at Towson on Jan. 27, and shared team-high honors with senior Karneshia Garrett. Garrett collected her 11th double-double of the season and the 18th of her career with 14 points and 14 rebounds.
The two teams were meeting for the first time since the Feb. 10 matchup in Boston was snowed out by Nemo and the Huskies led for all but 1:09 of the contest.
After taking a 33-24 lead at halftime, NU saw its lead dwindle to one point early in the second stanza before the Huskies pulled away down the stretch.
NU still led, 37-30, at the 18-minute mark when the Seahawks closed the deficit to 37-36 when Brown heated up from the outside. The rookie from Cary, N.C., drained back-to-back three-pointers to narrow the deficit to just one point with just over 17 minutes remaining.
But Tunstull keyed a 10-1 spurt for the Huskies and A'leve Mark's free throw with 12:38 left increased the score to 47-37.
Brown then connected on a pair of free throws and Kelva Atkins added her only basket of the game to get the Seahawks within six, 47-41, at 10:48, but it was the closest UNCW could get in the final period.
NU answered with a pair of buckets from Cannan to bump the lead back to 51-41 and pushed the margin to as many as 15 points in the final minutes.
DeFreese came off the bench to power the Huskes to a 33-24 lead at intermission. The freshman from Bergenfeld, N.J., made 6-of-7 shots en route to 13 points as NU led by as many as 12 markers in the opening period.
After UNCW senior forward Chelsea McGowen scored on a layup at 15:55 to cut the deficit to 7-6, the Huskies used a 12-2 run to gain some breathing room. A conventional three-point play DeFreese capped the spurt and increase NU's lead to 19-8.
UNCW answered with eight consecutive points to close the gap to 19-16, but the Huskies went on another run, this time scoring eight straight points of their own to push the margin back to 27-16 on another jumper by DeFreese.
NU built its largest lead of the opening period, 31-19, with 2:04 left before the Seahawks scored five straight points and a layup by DeFreese with 33 seconds left gave the Huskies a nine-point advantage at intermission.
The Seahawks have four games remaining in the regular season and travel to Fairfax, Va., on Thursday to take on George Mason at 7 p.m. The Huskies travel to Towson on Thursday for their next outing.
GAME NOTES: The Huskies evened the all-time series at 6-all and 3-3 in Wilmington…NU outscored UNCW in the paint, 34-20…NU's bench outscored its UNCW counterparts, 19-5…Tunstull scored 14 of her 16 points in the second period…Junior guard Jessica Freeman of UNCW fouled out with 1:27 remaining, her first disqualification of the season…The Huskies scored their final 10 points at the free throw line, going a perfect 10-of-10 at the charity stripe…NU committed just nine turnovers…The Huskies won the rebounding battle, 40-35…Freeman and Atkins each collected four assists…The two teams combined for just 8-of-39 behind the arc.

I'm currently developing a J2ME software for my Nokia N80. ONLY I will be using it ONLY ON MY PHONE. My main problem is the continuous asking of read/write to filesystem. I realize that I need to sign to get rid of this.
I'm currently following this to do so. But I can't seem to install the crt certificate onto my N80 (I get file corrupted error). And installing using the jad still doesn't really install it signed.
Here's the commands I've run:
I also manually changed the JAD to reflect the signed jar's size etc. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong or missing. Surely since it's an open system there MUST be a way to give full trust to my app without paying a company for it, especially since only I'm using it!Code:"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_10\bin\jarsigner" -keystore keystore.ks -signedjar signedServer.jar server.jar mobser "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_10\bin\keytool" -exportcert -keystore keystore.ks -storepass keystore -alias mobser -file mobsern.crt -rfc "C:\Program Files\NetBeans 7.2.1\mobility\Java_ME_platform_SDK_3.2\bin\jadtool" -addcert -alias mobser -keystore keystore.ks -inputjad Server.jad -outputjad signedServer.jad "C:\Program Files\NetBeans 7.2.1\mobility\Java_ME_platform_SDK_3.2\bin\jadtool" -addjarsig -alias mobser -keystore keystore.ks -keypass keystore -jarfile Server.jar -inputjad Server.jad -outputjad signedServer.jad

One of the Caribbean's true gems, St. Barts is where Riviera chic meets Caribbean cool. Day-trippers come from nearby islands for the duty-free shopping, excellent dining and to lounge on the soft, white sands in a secluded palm-fringed cove. Tour Fort Gustav and Fort Carl, historic reminders of Sweden's short-lived Caribbean possession. Excursions abound, inviting guests to snorkel, sail over the clear blue waters on a catamaran, or horseback ride through shaded jungle trails.
The following Shore Excursions are available for this port on this cruise, and may be reserved beginning 240 days before the cruise begins for guests receiving Concierge amenities, and 180 days before the cruise begins for all other guests. Guests receiving Concierge amenities will receive a 5% discount off of the prices shown below for Regent Choice tours.
Explore the historic sites and scenic beauty of St. Barts during this brief, but picturesque orientation drive through the island.
Depart the pier for the drive through St. Barts. Your first stop will be at Le Col de la Tourmente, which overlooks St. Jean Beach, the island's most popular beach, and the airport. From here, you will continue on to Salines. At one time, St. Barts exported salt throughout the Caribbean from this industrial area. You will then drive through Petite Salines, the only place on the island where the ocean is not visible, before proceeding to Grand Fonds. From here, you will take in breathtaking views and photo opportunities overlooking the green valley and raging ocean breaking on the shoreline. It is very windy here, and the landscape is vastly different from the rest of the island. Only a few years ago, Grand Fond was the cattle center of St. Barts, and home to numerous cows, goats and sheep.
Next, you will drive along the coast and pass by the oceanfront house that once belonged to the famous Russian dancer, Rudolf Nureyev. You will then pass Petit-Cul de Sac, the small salt pond, and Grand Cul de Sac. This scenic locale features a large lagoon, many hotels and resorts, and hosts the 24-hour windsurfing regatta held in August each year. Your drive will continue to Marigot, famous for its wine shop, La Cave, which stocks more than 300,000 bottles of wine. From here, you will pass the flower-filled cemeteries of L'Orient, La Vigie and Coupe Gorge en route to St. Jean. You will then take the road to Corossol, and climb one last hill before returning to Gustavia.
Depending on traffic conditions, your taxi will either stop in the parking lot next to the pier, or in town at the main taxi station.
Please note: This excursion is an orientation drive of the island operated by a driver only and does not include a separate guide. The mini-bus taxi drivers speak varying degrees of English with a heavy French-West Indian accent.

I recently had a problem of losing my car keys while at my storage location. Julio and Leo went above and beyond the 'call of duty' to make sure they could help me. Julio took his own personal time to help me locate my other set of keys. And, they contacted me within 2 days to let me know they found the lost set. This saved me $$$ and the frustrating time to get another set of specialized car keys. Throughout this process, they remained professional, courteous and looked for different options to solve what was my accidental problem. I would recommend this location and these gents to everyone! Thank you!Martha from Milford, CT

I would suggest you offer a way to dispose of junk or items that people throw out. It was the only thing that was truly inconvenient about your facility. Maybe you can partner with a service like 1-800-GotJunk (they take everything!) and offer it straight to your customers. So they don't have to worry about fitting junk they don't want in their cars or trucks because there is no way for you to dispose of it. Otherwise, storage was great! :)Ana Lucia from Hoboken, NJ

water cisterns
Farming and rural life discussion forum. Cooking, hunting, gardening, fishing, critters, etc.
Moderator: Team Cub
water cisterns
hey guys,
i have finished most of my work on my cub and m, they are running great, and now i am diverting more attention to fixing my house and barn. this past weekend after replacing my front door, i really know now with certainty that i am not a carpenter!! well anyways, i have two water cisterns by my house that collect water from my gutters. i have city water and do not need them. has anyone here used their old cisterns for watering gardens? animals? or use them for anything else? how does a person clean them out?
John: For the first ten years of my life, our only source of household water was a cistern. Gutters along the dripline of the roof collected and transported water to the cistern. The water should be suitable for plant and animal use. It was a common source of water for human consumption at many of the farms in Missouri at that time but could not meet safety standards today. The water level in the cistern would become very low during late summer. A person was lowered into the cistern and would remove dirt and debris which had collected during the past year. One look at what was brought up, including skeletons of mice or other small rodents, would have you searching for an alternate source for human consumption. I suspect many people contracted water borne diseases from using the cistern water. Dan
My thoughts. Cisterns could be a liability. My neighbor has a cistern covered with a partial sheet of plywood held down with a cement block.
My current residence had a cistern when the wife and I purchased the property. I filled in the cistern to about 6 inches below ground level. Removed the cistern top/lip down to the fill. Then formed up and poured a 6" concrete, reinforced slab.
Agree with Dan on cleaning a cistern. On a hot day you want to be the guy operating the shovel in the bottom of the cistern, not the one on top hauling up buckets of trash.
Eugene makes a good point on the liability issue. I have been involved in a bat research project for 10-12 years. We don't have caves in our area so this species of bat inhabits cistern-like structures during the colder part of the winter. This habitat is being lost as individuals or companies purchase tracts of land. We have made arrangements to install locking covers on some prime habitat. Otherwise, the new owners fill them to avoid liability as open cistern-wells can be a death-trap for children or small farm animals. If you retain the cisterns, and you may wish to, secure the opening with a cover which can't be easily removed. Dan
My folks have a cistern, around here you are supposed to have a good sealed lid (heavy enough a child cant lift it) and a building (like a pump house).
When the folks added onto the house they just built right over the cistern, and made a trap door in the mud room.
We clean it out every summer, just use the water down to where its about 3 feet deep, then crank up the portable sump pump, one guy stirs the sediment and the other guy runs the pump, when we get all the water and most of the sediment out we then shovel into 5 gallon buckets and someone pulls them up with a rope.
This cistern holds 10,000 gallons, the folks keep a nice shiny clean aluminum extension ladder in the attic just for cleaning the cistern.
Some of the farms have 2 cisterns and most generally one of em catches the rain for the animals and the other is for the house (just spring water), most of these places originally had hand dug wells and had to have the water storage.
P.S. we used to find gophers and other rodents, in the cistern, but I will never forget the sheep carcass we found in the spring
Years ago they used to use them for firefighting. The (engine) fire truck would pull up as close to the cistern to put their hard suction hose down below the water to fight the fire. Sometimes the cistern was to close to the structure to do any good. If you have one an its far enough from the structure you might want to check with your insurance company to see if you get any break on your home owners insurance. That will go for anyone.
In my line of work
thankls guys,
one of my cisterns has a pump in it, and the other is always full. uhg! i never thought of little critters getting into the water..... i think i will keep them for the time being, i have decent lids on them. i have been mulling over having a garden next year so the extra water will be good.
along a little different line of thought. The house that I currently live in is a 1950s cape, and one quarter of the basement was originally a cistern. The previous owner cut out one of the inside walls, opening that area up into the basement, and now I have turned it into a family room. Turns out that it is the most DRY part of my basement. The walls must have originally been coated with something, or maybe they were reinforced better or poured thicker. All I know is that every other corner of my basement leaks, and the part that was the cistern is dry as a bone.
1951 Farmall Cub, Cub Cadets 102, 104, 1811, 1864, Simplicity Legacy XL 4x4 Diesel with FEL, 60" mower, 50" Tiller
My son recently purchased a house with an addition build over the cistern. The cistern is 8' wide, 16' long, and about 12' deep. A previous owner cut a door way into the cistern from the basement wall. The bottom of the cistern is about 4 feet below the basement floor. The cistern is dry.
We are looking for ideas on what to do with the cistern. One hugh wine celler is out of the question. It's a little small for a racketball court. Don't need the storage space. Filling it up would cost a fortune.
In south Pacific island groups such as Samoa, rainwater catchment cisterns are sometimes the only source of water. One problem there is that the catchment tanks become infested with mosquito larvae. Imagine looking down into your glass of water and seeing little swimming things! That's primarily a problem of keeping the cistern well sealed. But you can purify catchment water for home use--kill the microbes, at least--by adding chlorine, the way municipal systems do. The trick is knowing how much chlorine to add for the volume of water. I never dared to try it when I was in Samoa for fear of poisoning "my" family, but now you can get this info on the web. There are also places in Hawaii (Kona side of the Big Island, for example, where houses are built on old lava fields), where rainwater catchment tanks are the only water source. A friend of mine told me that you should only use the water collected from metal roofs, however, not the runoff from corrugated fiberglass.
Here on the Mainland, untreated cistern water is useful if considered "gray water," for watering the garden, washing cars, almost anything but drinking.
Trivia facts you probably didn't need to know, but anyway....
1948 Farmall Cub ("Lil")
"All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small, all things wise and wonderful, the Lord God made them all."
Sounds like an ideal storm shelter to me. Of course, that idea is coming from someone who lives in a Kansas town that has had some serious tornado damage twice in the last 32 years.
Our farm cistern is not used for drinking or cooking water. We regulary treat it with a dose of laundry bleach (contains chlorine) and test it with a pool Cl test kit. Takes a while to stabilize the Cl level even when recirculating water into it. It does keep the water fresh smelling as compared to the "froggy smell" it gets from not being used enough.
I have two wells on my property one for the house and one for the barn. I also have a cistern up at the house that is tied into our water lines. To switch from well to cistern you just flip the breakers to change pumps. We always use the well water to shower and drink although Im sure some people wouldnt drink well water. We let the cistern fill up from the gutters and use it to wash the cars and water the plants. I also pour a little bleach in it once in a while to "freshen it up". While we dont really need the cistern, its there and not hurting anything and I like the idea that while it hasn't happened yet, in the event of a drought and our well running dry I could have water hauled and easily dumped in the cistern to get us by...
Talk to your county office on clean out ,we cleaned ours with a bleach and water mix, be careful not to get to much bleach as you will get overcome with the vapors, we had a cistern and well at our old house we hauled water for years , where I grew up we had our downspouts run to the cistern for main water supply , We made it out fine ,as someone posted those who grew up between 1930 -1970.
We had a storm in 1969 where we had dead sparrows frogs and mosquito larva in we had to complely drain and scrub out , so make sure you have a tight lid on it.

What sad news
The news of Carl's death is both sad and ironic. He cared so much about physical fitness. I remember him saying once that his goal was to live (and die) like a well-known surfer he admired, who had stayed active well into his 90's, then died in a surfing accident.
Seems like everything Carl did, he did passionately. I am grateful for the passion he showed as a teacher and mentor, and will always remember him for encouraging all of us to do and be our best. Te vamos a extranar, Carl.

[Click through the gallery above, for sailfish photos and captions.]
It was a beautiful winter day with barely a breeze. Had we been headed to Bimini, it would have been custom-ordered weather. However, we were looking for sailfish — and a 15-knot northeast wind that never materialized. Nonetheless, we put out an attractive spread of live baits, with a pair of large threadfin herring dangling from a helium-balloon-assisted kite. When the day drew to a close, we'd logged three sailfish releases off Miami. But the kicker was that the surface and near-surface baits went unnoticed. It was the single deep bait set about 50 feet down that scored all three touchdowns for us. This served as just one more vivid example of the importance of covering both water area and depth to catch sailfish.
Live-baiting sailfish, something I've been doing a long time, is one of my favorite ways to fish. Over the years I've discovered six essential elements of consistently catching sailfish when they're hard to come by, and for catching more of them when they're pushing through. Stick to these guidelines and you will catch more sailfish.
Determine Depth Highways
When sailfish are on the move, they show preferences for specific depth highways because of a thermal edge, current flow, bait concentrations or a combination of the three. If you hear of fish taken at a specific depth, say 120 feet, it stands to reason that more fish will be near that depth.
After determining where the current comes closest to the reef, we'll drift over an 80- to 250-foot window, monitoring our bait spread as well as the fish finder for bait concentrations. When we raise a sailfish, we note the depth: If it was in 120 feet (to use that depth example again), we'll narrow our focus to that 110- to 130-foot highway.
Opt for Blanket Coverage
Covering a large area of surface and the water column is another critical tactic. I often deploy a sea anchor and drift rather than power troll. When I have the angler power aboard, I'll deploy a fishing kite from the bow and another from the cockpit. Each kite will have three baits assigned to it. I'll let the cockpit kite baits out farther than the bow kite. Those long baits serve as the "outside" baits on the downwind side of the boat versus the three "inside" baits off the bow kite. That string of six baits covers a large area. Should a sailfish pass downwind of the boat, I have baits in place to intercept them.
On the upwind side of the boat, the coverage continues. We'll put out two baits under balloons, one well beyond the rest of the spread, with its bait some 20 feet down. The other balloon is set between 100 and 200 feet away, with its bait 10 feet deep. We'll free-line another bait a couple of hundred feet out, and fish at least one bait on a breakaway sinker about 50 feet down, and sometimes a second one deeper than that.
With that spread in play, the surface area and depth we're covering increases our odds of catching sailfish. The same spread can be deployed when slow-trolling, which often makes it easier to stay within a specific zone once fish are located.

4th Annual "Night at the Nest" This Coming Sunday At Alico Arena Is A Sellout
DUNK CITY, Fla. – The FGCU Athletics Development Office is pleased to announce that the 4th Annual "Night at the Nest" gala that will be held this coming Sunday, Dec. 8, at Alico Arena is sold out. Designed to both show appreciation to the Eagles' donors, as well as raise external resources for the Athletics Department, this year's event, presented by the Seminole Tribe of Big Cypress and Willow Street Advisors, reached the capacity of 700 reserved spots.
The semi-formal features a cocktail reception, dinner and live and silent auction items, with doors opening at 5 p.m. FGCU coaches will be in attendance, and Eagle student-athletes will be the servers for the function.
A comprehensive list of the extensive auction items can be found at the top of this release or by clicking here. For those unable to attend, proxy bids are being accepted by calling Director of Athletics Advancement Graham Diemer at (239) 590-7107 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Two-time MLB All-Star Chris Sale – the 2010 National Collegiate Player of the Year for FGCU – will once again be in attendance at the event, giving attendees a chance to interact with one of the best pitchers in the sport. A southpaw with the Chicago White Sox, Sale – who earned the win for the American League this past summer in the All-Star Game – led the AL in complete games (4) last year, while finishing 3rd in WHIP (1.07) and 7th in ERA (3.07). He finished 6th and 5th, respectively, in the Cy Young voting the last two years; the award given annually to the best pitcher in each league.
"Night at the Nest" has grown each year from 300 attendees in its inaugural 2010 showing to 550 last year. With the help of the generosity of companies and individuals from Southwest Florida, a record $162,000 was raised for FGCU Athletics last December.
The gala is FGCU's signature fundraising affair, with all proceeds going directly to support the Green & Blue's scholarship needs and operating budgets. Organized and promoted by the Eagles Club Board of Advisors, the official volunteer organization created to support FGCU Athletics, the goal for the 2013 event is $200,000.
The Seminole Tribe of Big Cypress and Willow Street Advisors are both platinum sponsors. In an effort to encourage Seminole High School graduates to attend college, the Seminole Tribe is entering its third year of partnering with FGCU Athletics. Willow Street Advisors, which was a recipient of the 2013 Best Practices Award by Investment News, is sponsoring the event for the first time.
Chris Bray, the Managing Director – Florida, is excited about the new partnership with FGCU Athletics. "We are honored to be able to support FGCU and we are grateful for all of the great contributions that the FCGU community has made to Southwest Florida."
While there will not be a keynote speaker this year, the honor has previously been held by several influential individuals who are highly visible in the national athletics community. Former US Ryder Cup Captain golfer Paul Azinger, Ohio State head football coach Urban Meyer and Sale have each filled this role in the first three years.
"Night at the Nest" is a celebration of all the accomplishments of FGCU Athletics' coaches and student-athletes, including a record 3.30 cumulative grade point average from the Spring of 2013, capturing a sweep of the Atlantic Sun Conference's 2012-13 All Sport Trophies (Men's, Women's and Combined), and witnessing six teams earn conference titles and five programs represented in the NCAA postseason in the Eagles second such year of eligibility – including the men's basketball team becoming the first No. 15 seed to ever reach the Sweet Sixteen.

"It was a joint decision by Major League Baseball and the players association," said Sandy Alderson, MLB's executive vice president of baseball operations. "(Beltran) was voted in by the American League players as a member of the American League. He'll be honored and recognized at the All-Star Game, but because he has been traded to the National League, he'll be unable to play.
