The aroma tells me this is straight brandy. As does the first taste. Very strong alcohol flavors hit my senses. This needs to be sipped extremely slowly. I feel a warming sensation throughout my whole body only seconds after the initial taste. This bier has a syruppy texture that goes well with the spicy brandy flavor. I also detect some plums in the bier with slight hop bitterness midway through. Finishes with a somewhat spicy dryness like a brandy would. Is this a brandy, at least a Very Good brandy? I'm not sure. I do know that I can drink this if my heating ever goes out in the winter time. I think that I'm drunk after only one bottle!

Pours a brilliant deep copper with a thin head that is gone quite quickly this badboy seems to be more carbonated than expected,whoo the alcohol is very prevelant in the aroma almost whisky-ish along with some raisin and dried fruit.With this being a 2003 bottle this needed more time to mellow I think before opening,big and chewey with huge alcohol tones.Pretty darn sweet but it doesnt coat the mouth,has a nice mouthfeel not to thick but it may be hard just to finish this one I have.Like I said this beer could stand to age another year but no doubt this is a badass mofo beer, will get again and hold for awhile.

4.05/5 rDev +1.5%
Appearance: 2002 bottle. Dark amber/ruby red pour. Very small head that fades fast. No head whatsoever after a minute or two.
Smell: Heavy chocolate and dark malts. Sweet molasses. Just a hint of raisins and dates.
Taste: Malty sweetness is big up front. Light chocolate notes with a more sweet/molasses kick to follow. Alcohol kick is obvious and sweet. Dark fruity qualities such as raisin & plum throughout. Medicinal. Sweet, spicey towards the end with a syrupy port-like finish. Very complex.
Mouthfeel: Very full and bold. An almost rough, bubbly texture that dries out towards the end. Not thick but definitely syrupy.
Drinkability: This a slow sipping beer for sure. A few years of aging to soften the rough & complex edges would make this beer a pure treat.

4.8/5 rDev +20.3%
Appearance - Brown in color with a tight, white head that stayed for a while.
Smell - Heavily-toasted malt aroma with an alcohol warning and some significant fruitiness. The fruit is big, complex cherry with a little bubblegum.
Taste - Lovely, cherry-infused doppelbock malt flavors spiked with Canadian whiskey (though it's a German-style ale from Austria). I can't say enough about this malt/cherry combination. All the flavors of this ale create a virtual symphony in the mouth.
Mouthfeel - Full with a solid alcohol sting and light carbonation.
Drinkability - I thought this was a lively rendition of the style and well worth a second visit. I will most definitely buy again.
Update - I had and re-reviewed this again in 2004. It is a heavy-hitter for sure and very viscous in the mouth. A tasty treat and well worth the substantial price tag.
Update - I was able to try a 2004 again, this time aged for 2 years in the tempered cellar of one Ms. skyhand.
The color was a brilliant orange now with a magically disappearing head. The malts turned into a fine orange liqueur and the booze kept right on stinging. It was quite the treat and has motivated me to start cellaring some of this myself.
Update - I had a cause to celebrate in Feb 2008 and busted open a two year old bottle and man oh man was this totally awesome. It had developed a bigger alcohol sting and was sweeter than a fresh sample, but the sweet flavors just exploded in the mouth. This has to be one of my favorite beers of all time, and although skyhand didn't provide this offering she indirectly deserves a thanks for me opening it (wink wink).

On tap at Maduro, $3 for a nearly full Bell's Tullip. Pretty nasty stuff on tap.
Smells like sugar, booze, cheries, licorice, cat piss, and toffee. Tastes a bit like a strong mead loaded with candy sugar. Syrupy body, very sweet, seriously, disgustingly sweet. The ABV may be partially covered but the sugar sure as hell isnt. Lots of cherry taste but most other flavors are hard to distinguish because my tongue is burning from the sweetness. It makes me sick to my stomach and hurts my throat. My body rejects this as foul. I take no pleasure in this mess, although it has a really, really pretty chestnut body with reddish hues though no head what-so-ever. I think this might be a lot better after a decade in a cellar.

Thanks to Styles for pulling this out of his cellar and bringing it by - 2007 vintage. Samichlaus pours a light-ish copper color when you're looking down from the top, but appears like a much darker burnt sienna and ruby red from the side. No head, partially expected from a six year old, 14% ABV beer of this stature.
The aroma is a bit... misleading at first, to say the least. I guess I didn't really know what to expect. It's definitely very sweet, lightly vinous, and certainly a bit boozy, maybe even more than you'd think. Lightly sweet fruits mellow out the edges a bit - raisin and plums, with a solid caramel underbody.
A little bit into it, I start to get a weird, hard-to-identify spice. Almost like oregano, but I know that can't be it. It's not bad, though. It's just a head-scratcher, but it makes for interesting speculation. For such a potent brew, the aroma is quite laid back and borderline simple; it doesn't show much variance, even as it warms up. I would have liked to see a wider variety of aromas.
Samichlaus may be listed as a doppelbock, but if you bought this expecting a stronger version of Celebrator, you were sadly mistaken. The taste is much more potent than the aroma and hits with a strong pungency of flavor that's hard to pin down at first. Syrupy and thick, little hints of maple, brown sugar, and a super-sweet boozy flavor that romps the palate hard.
The dark fruits are certainly present; figs, dates, and raisins that have been soaked in rubbing alcohol and tossed with a light, sugary coating. Almost caramel-apple and cinnamon-like in the aftertaste, though the booze and sugar aspects are still quite heavy. Smooth mouth feel with almost no carbonation, medium-thick bodied and somewhat sticky.
Definitely interesting to try this 2007 vintage. Interesting take on the a doppelbock, which is seeming more and more like a last minute "catch all" category due to large variances present within the style. Heavily boozy and potent, sticky and sweet, yet despite that, Samichlaus may just be a bit boring and doesn't really exceed expectations in any category. Above average and something that obviously ages well, but nothing I would reach for regularly.

4.73/5 rDev +18.5%
Bottled in 2008
A: A medium copper with excellent clarity. The head is almost non-existant with just a slight ring of tiny bubbles around the edge. There is enough alcohol to form leg on the side of the glass.
S: This has a rich malty aroma with smells of raisins and a dark crusty bread. There isn't any hops aroma and a clean lager fermentation with no esters. There is a good amount of smooth alcohol in the nose but it isn't hot or solventy.
T: Rich malt character with a moderately-high malt sweetness. The malt has moderate flavors of melanoidin and caramel with a hint of chocolate. There is no hop flavor and only a moderately-low hop bitterness; the malt sweetness is being balance by the alcohol as much as by the hop bitterness. The balance is moderately sweet with a sweet finish and an aftertaste of malt sweetness and alcohol.
M: A full bodied beer with moderately-low carbonation and a substantial alcohol warmth.
O: A smooth potent beer sure to take the chill out of a cold winters night. Another beer that would be a fine after dinner cordial but given the level of sweetness this is more for the port drinker that the scotch drinker.

I could not help myself when I saw this beer at the store the other day. Just reading the info on the back plus all the good things I heard about it justified paying $4.50 for a bottle! It pourd a dark brown color with just a very small off white head. The smell of plums and raisons jumped out at me as well as a hint of alchohol. The taste was heavenly with a great malt profile, toasty nut flavor, raisons and a excelent warming effect from the alchohol. This was a great beer and I will be going back to pick up more to consume and age.

4.72/5 rDev +18.3%
Presentation: Tall brown 11.2 oz bottle, silver labeling, Schloβ Eggenberg appears in glass markings at shoulder-line. Bottled in 2004 and The Worlds Most Extraordinary Beer appears on the label along with the unfortunate labeling of Malt Liquor. If they only knew
Appearance: Cognac-like amber coloration. Slight orangey tone bordering on ruby-hued. Clear. Head begins just under a finger, bubbles dont stick to each other, fades quickly to a collar. Expected for a beer of this high ABV and pre-bottle aging. Head is transient at best. Gone in under 30 seconds light tan/beige in color.
Aroma: Sweet, ambrosial, with alcohol ripping right through. Smells a lot like the little tubes of balloon blowing junk I used to play with as a kid where you stick a wad of it on the end of a tiny straw and blow yourself a little balloon (anyone have any idea what I'm talking about???). Smells quite powerful, and perhaps a touch like some sort of fuel, with very, very sweet notes. I detect raisin and cantaloupe, along with other melon-influences. Big time cantaloupe nose!!
Taste: Its tough to describe thisthere is of course an intense warming feeling in the belly, but this follows flavors that run from raisiny-malt syrup to stingy (thats sting-ee, not stingy like Ebenezer Scrooge) Belgian yeast. Bubble gum flavor detected. This feels much more like a Barley Wine than any doppelbock Ive had, thats for sure, though it's not exactly like any BW I've had either... quite unique... If there is a beery equivalent to gamier flavors in meat, this beer presents that quality. I dont know how else to say it other than that Smoother than the strongest Barley-Wine Ive had (which would be Sierra Nevadas Bigfoot Barley Wine-Style Ale, 2004 Vintage I believe). Similar to what I would envision an overly aggressive Madeira wine to be like.
Finish: A slow evolution of smooth malty sweetness and bitterness. Hops are present, only for bitterness, not in aroma. Alcohol is certainly present, but hits harder in the beginning and middle than in the finish. Sweet, friendly aftertaste. This beer sort of hits you over the head and then behaves like a good buddy
It just so happens that the last beer I reviewed in my notes was a Bud Light (just for shits & giggles). What a way to follow up the Bud Light reviewwith a beer of such magnitude... A behemoth of a beer. From what I can tell, there is no stronger doppelbock on earth (though there are a couple others that come in at 14% ABV as well).

2003 vintage. This beer has been a lot of places with me.
Touch of haze shows as the light passes through the mahogany colored body. No head, just a smattering of bubbles on top and a ring around the glass.
Notes of candied fruit (cherries, raisins), maple syrup, touch of sherry and port wine, a little fresh apple too. Really no hint of the alcohol level.
Wow, the taste is so much more potent than the aroma hinted at. Lots of the candied fruits again, sugary sweet with maple syrup, dark caramel. Hints of chocolate covered cherries in the finish.
This is a sipper. Low carbonation and almost syrupy thick but extremely smooth. Any alcohol has gone away with time. The sweetness is a bit intrusive for me, this is almost like liquid candy. Ultimately an every once in a while beer. It's just so sweet and heavy that 12oz is probably about all one could handle.

Poured in a goblet, the beer was a chesnut color with virtually no head. The aroma was fruity caramel and whiskey. The taste was of caramel and some kind of dark fruit. The whiskey taste was there, but muted. I thought this was a fairly mellow beer, not hot. The alcohol is there, though, so be careful with this one.

Vintage 2000:
Presentation: 11.2 fl oz olive green custom bottle. Bottled in 2000. "Das Stärkste Bier Der Welt" -- the strongest beer in the world.
Appearance: Rich, deep, clear copper. Pours with a creamy off-white head, dissipates to a creamy, patchy lace.
Smell: Sweet, syrupy, malty nose, with fruit esters (plum, raisin) and a fumey alcohol.
Taste: Extremely full-bodied, thick, rich and chewy. Mouthfeel is creamy, as well as smooth -- like a fine whiskey. Caramel/toffee, plum, raisin, grape, honey, sweet chocolate and light biscuit flavours come to the front. Overall malt profile is very sweet and fruity. Alcohol notes are huge and spicy, and its powers of warming the body, soul and mind can be felt after the first sip. There's little detectable hop bitterness, however there is a wonderfully floral hop flavour that melds with the malt sweetness to create a sweet tea-like flavour that rides the entire experience. Finishes with alcohol fumes and a light grain flavour with chocolate liquor notes.
Notes: Samichlaus is back! This brew is made only once a year on December 6 (Saint Nicholas's Day), and it's aged 10 months before bottling. It was first brewed in 1979, then stopped after its 1996 batch. It holds a Guinness Book World Record for being the strongest bottom-fermented beer (14% abv), and is also one of the most rarest specialty beers in the world. It's actually classified as being a "Malt Liquer" in the states for legal reasons -- it's just a really strong lager.
As I dip my finger into my pint glass, dab my forehead with some of the sweet nectar, I pay homage to the beergods for making this amazingly top-notch brew. Buy it while you can, and make sure to buy some spares to age and taste over the years to come.
Vintage 2001:
Presentation: 330ml custom dark olive green bottle. Expiration of 10/2006.
Appearance: Pours an amber to brown coloured beer. Highly carbonated. Big off-white bubbly head that snaps down in seconds to absolute stillness -- no head retention, flat.
Smell: Mega fruity pungent esters with sulfur coming in behind. Malty, with faint molasses and raisin.
Taste: Malty beyond belief. Thick, syrupy, full-bodied, juicy and extremely complex with many layers of distinct flavours, each of which make themselves known ... Flavours such as slick butter, chocolate, caramel, fruity plum, lots of vanilla, honey, esters, coffee and grape. Sweetness, in its sum, is sugary. No real hop overpowering bitterness, but there's hidden traces of hops in a herbal-tea-like flavour and as the hops melds with the alcohol punch there's a level of perceived bitternes ... especially as the beer warms to room temp. Huge doses of alcohol come in waves, bringing with them a spicy alcohol bite and a warming sensation. Finish is a welcomed chaos of all of the above mentioned.
Notes: Still one of the rarest beers in the world, brewed only once a year on December 6th, subsequently fermented and matured for about 10 months before bottling in October. Samichlaus is a vintage beer and the strongest bottom-fermented lager in the world and may be aged in the bottle for many years to come. Older vintages become more complex with a creamy warming finish. Serve with hardy robust dishes and desserts, particularly with chocolates, or as an after dinner drink by itself. Samichlaus is filled in personalized 330 ml. bottles, exported to exclusive distribution partners worldwide mainly through pre-orders prior to bottling in October each year. Samichlaus contains only natural ingredients and is being brewed according the purity law of 1516. The 2001 vintage was bottled on October 10 and 11 together with 250 kegs a 30 litres destinated for USA and Finland. The total quantity of bottles equals slightly more then 6000 cases (24 bottles) for world-wide sales till autumn 2002.

11.2 oz bottle,bottled in 2004. Pours a hazy amber cola with a smallish off-white head that quickly diminishes to a thin collar.
The aroma is sweet figgy malts, cola and molasses. Some wheaty malts, alcohol and spices come out as it warms.
The flavor is sweet sugary malts, dark fruit, nuts, cardboard, and chocolate with a burnt alcohol finish. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with low carbonation.
Overall, an interesting beer. The alcohol is apparent but surprisingly not overwhelming for me. It is a bit too cloyingly sweet for me. Would make for a good after dinner sipper. Thanks Solan!

Had on tap at Novare as part of my Uprising.
The beer is served in a an Allagash tulip. The beer is a deep amber with a tan head that resides to the edge of the glass.
The nose is all malt, caremel, toasted and hints of fig fruitiness.
The taste is big and bold, malty and the classic german dopple bock, almost cola flavor. The alcohol is quite noticible.
Overall a good beer, definitly not for everyday.

six ounce tasting for myself and a friend from a bottle recently puirchased at BevMo.
A --- deep amber color with very little foam
S --- malts, raisins and alcohol
T --- the alcohol at first is overbearing, but then I pick up elements of fig and plum. Very nice balance between malts and hops.
M --- Medium-to-full body with perfect carbination.
O --- I really enjoyed it. It has a whiskey likeness to it which I really enjoyed --- not over the top but enough to remind me this is a STRONG beer.

Please excuse my ignorance, I am new at all of this.
I would like to plant some sweet corn and potatoes in a newly plowed pasture this year. I have my cub set up with the 44" rear wheel spacing as that is the reccomended set up for the plow chief single point fasthitch.
May I use the same 44" wheel spacing for planting rows of corn and then cultivating it as needed? I will be making my own tool bar fro the fasthitch and will be able to adjust the tines for proper spacing.
I was thinking I could use my tire tracks as a guide for planting and would use a walk behind planter to actually do the planting of the seed.
Am I thinking about this the right way? I have never plowed or cultivated with the cub before. This is all new to me.

Two years ago, Indiana lawmakers bent on cracking down on illegal immigration passed a law that banned in-state college tuition for children of undocumented workers, and resulted in hundreds of students dropping out when they couldn't afford the much higher out-of-state rates.
Now there is an effort to roll back that law. It's led by some conservative Republican legislators who see the ban as both unfair to children brought here illegally by their parents and contrary to the state's effort to produce more college graduates.
"There is not a downside to educating every student, whether they're undocumented or not," said state Rep. Becky Kubacki of Syracuse, the first Hispanic Republican elected to the Indiana General Assembly.
In February, the Republican-controlled state Senate passed legislation, Senate Bill 207, that would allow students who were enrolled in college when the 2011 law took effect to be eligible again for in-state tuition.
Kubacki is sponsoring that bill in the House, where some of her Republican colleagues are working to expand it by amending the legislation to cover more children of undocumented workers who are residents of Indiana. Details of the amendment have yet to be made public, but it's expected to spark a vigorous debate.
"I never, ever dreamed there would be discussion in the House of expansion (of the bill)," said state Sen. Jean Leising, R-Oldenburg, who authored Senate Bill 207. "But maybe enough legislators have talked to these kids and heard their plight and struggle."
Leising kept the parameters of her bill narrow — benefiting only students already enrolled in college when the in-state tuition ban took effect in 2011 — believing it was the only way it would pass. Similar legislation was shot down last year after a fierce lobbying blitz by opponents who saw it as a form of "amnesty" for people here illegally.
Among the supporters of Leising's bill is Sen. Carlin Yoder, R-Middlebury, who voted for the original 2011 law. His change of heart came after hearing from students adversely affected by the 2011 law, including a college student who'd been brought to the U.S. illegally when she was 2 months old.
"These kids are victims," Yoder said during a hearing on Senate Bill 207. "They've done nothing wrong. They are not at liberty to tell their parents what to do when they cross this border, and I'm not sure how we as a society here in Indiana benefit by trying to limit their possibilities."
That's the case Kubacki is hoping to make as well in the House. Kubacki, whose maiden name is Espinoza, is a second-generation American and the daughter of migrant farm workers.
As a freshman legislator, she voted for the 2011 law. Its defenders at the time said it would it send a clear message that Indiana would no longer be a "sanctuary" for undocumented workers who were in the U.S. illegally because of the federal government's failure to act on illegal immigration.
But she later came to regret that vote, especially after hearing from students who dropped out of college because they couldn't afford the non-resident tuition; it's $31,000 a year at Indiana University compared to $10,000 for in-state students.
"We changed the rules on these kids, which is just not the fair thing to do when they were already in college and headed on a career path," Kubacki said.
"At the time when I supported the bill, I was looking at things in a very black-and-white fashion," she added. "But when you stand back and analyze things, things aren't black and white. There is a lot of gray."
Kubacki and Leising argue that the state of Indiana already educates thousands of children of undocumented workers in the state's K-12 schools, which are barred by federal law from asking students to prove their citizenship status. And they say Indiana, which ranks in the bottom 10 states for residents with college degrees, shouldn't be cutting off access to college for those who want it. "Our public K-12 system is accepting 100 percent of these students," Leising said. "But what we're basically doing is saying to them: 'When you graduate from high school, your education stops, unless your parents have become wealthy since they moved here.'"
Opponents of Senate Bill 207 remain steadfast. Sen. Mike Delph, R-Carmel, who argued for the 2011 bill that barred in-state tuition for students who couldn't document they were here legally, argued against Leising's bill. He said it may violate the equal protection clause of the Constitution and would allow foreign students who come to study in the U.S. legally to claim a right to in-state tuition.

1953 dodge truck
Seemed like a good idea until I got it home and really looked at it. It is a B-4 pickup, I am looking for good websites for parts advice and how do I get the fenders and cab off so I can start on the engine.

Try Dodge Talk.com. The have a 1948-1956 B & C Series Dodge Trucks forum. I personally love the old Dodge and Fargo trucks and the Power Wagons of course. They really were some kind of truck.

Re: 1953 dodge truck
Thanks, I found a Pilothouse web site with many manuals but does not appear to be active anymore. I had not seen the dodgetalk forum.
Not to bore folks but I have wanted an old truck to restore for a long time. When I was a teenager I bought a $25 IHC model B-3 dump truck. IHC reused their model numbers but this was a 1933 truck, louvered hood, large separate headlights. Borrowed a R model Mack road tractor, used the airlines to air the tires, just like in many stories cut down the tree growing through the rotted wood cab, and towed it home. I did get it running and drove in my yard. Even did my teenager restoration. But my Uncle Sam sent me a letter requesting that I join him for several years and I sold the truck when I went to the Army. The truck had the work "Clutch" cast into the clutch pedal and the work "Brake" in the brake pedal so you would not get confused. I still have a sales sheet for the model B-4 which was a 1 1/2 ton version of the B-3. Somewhere I still have a polaroid photo of my old truck. Sorry now that I sold it.
Re: 1953 dodge truck
You are welcome. Next to IHC, Dodge has to be my favourite truck. Then there would be REO, Chevy/GMC and probably rounded out by Studebaker. Mack has to be in there somewhere but probably cause I like concrete trucks and Mack seems to have the wrap on that market I guess that kinda dates me as well Can you post a scan of that brochure? I would love to see that

Re: 1953 dodge truck
Had alot of good times "four wheelin" with those International truck guys back in the day. I was always particular to the Willys pick up myself. That ole flat head super hurricane really had some moxie.. On the mention of concrete trucks.. I spent more than a few years pullin chutes behind Macks but my favorite was the crane carrier brand. 10 wheel drive and a front bumper about 5 foot off the ground.. We'd bury up to those headlights on occassion and the "old timer" would come out to tug em.. 1936 International tank retriever, 6 cylinders -flat bed with a huge gear driven winch in the back..Boy what great job that was for young man..
Re: 1953 dodge truck
A few months ago I had a 1950 Willys pickup truck in my driveway. The man I bought it from did not want to give me a bill of sale but I insisted, while he was writing the BOS I checked the title and it was not in his name and the number did not match the truck! I still had the money in my pocket so he left and said he would try to find out what was wrong. A day later he call and told me he had to bring the truck to the DMV for them to look at so he picked up the truck and I never saw him again. He must have not been able to get a clean title. Too bad since I wanted that truck, looks like it would have been fun.
I have located another 1953 Dodge pickup nearby so I am trying to get to it before someone else. I may need a spare!
My experience with big road tractors was the R model Macks and old IHC Emeryville cab overs. I just missed getting a 1943 White Super Power single axle road tractor, but still am looking for something similar. Not sure about the need for a CDL, if I was sure I did not need a CDL for the single axle road tractors then I would be looking harder for an old White or Mack B model.

Re: 1953 dodge truck
Too bad I did not know about that one a few months ago!
I bought a second, this one a 1952, owner started a restoration 8 years ago and basically got as far as taking it apart. I got the truck a few weeks ago in pieces. Good in some ways since it was too big otherwise for my truck and trailer. Should be done with the frame, new brakes, lines, kingpins, bushings, motor mounts, spring bushing, painted, in a week or so. Then on to the engine. The PO had mounted the cab and engine on wood rails with caster wheels so they are easy to move around.
The latest truck came with alot of spare parts, two transmissions, extra guages and speedometer, owners manual, repair manual, parts manual, and so on. With those parts and the spare truck I should be able to get one good truck out of that mess.
I went to the state DMV to register the truck but not title it at this time. They sent me to several long lines and lots of waiting. They then told me they would have to see the truck since it had an out of state title. Of course there is really no truck just a bunch of parts. Nothing I could do would convince them to bend the rules. I then told them that I had brought cars from out of state, titled them, and never actually had to show anyone the vehicle. They told me if I titled the vehicle then they did not have to see the truck. They only needed to see the truck if it was registered but not titled. So I called my insurance company and now I am paying insurance on a bunch of parts waiting to be a truck. Still need to go back with proof of insurance, wait in long lines, so I can get a title in my name. What fun.

Re: 1953 dodge truck
Rudy, your comment about Fargo trucks brought to my memory when our family lived in Mexico City in 1967-68. I remember that the Dodge trucks there were tagged "Fargo" rather than Dodge. Was that the name used for Canadian made Dodges too?
Since retirement, the things I miss most are the holidays!
Re: 1953 dodge truck
Yes and no. Fargo was a line produced by Chrysler originally in the US and when production in the US was halted they were marketed in Canada until 1972, as well Dodge trucks. The Fargo line was essentially replaced by it's twin Dodge models. When I was teaching/examining for DND 404's back in the late 70's and early 80's our primary vehicles for the antenna farms were the Dodge Power Wagons. I liked them but they just didn't have the cooolness factor that the older Fargo PW's had. Now that was a truck I like to think that the current Dodge Ram really has a Fargo as it's granddaddy
There is a bunch of info on Fargo Trucks - an even better short history - Fargo Trucks and more here - Dodge and Fargo Power Wagons

What in the name of Lou "The Toe" Groza was NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell thinking when he proposed dropping the extra point kick from the game?
Doesn't Goodell understand that it's one of the least exciting plays in all of sports? Or perhaps that's what he had in mind.
Except for a few kids who earned their high school varsity letters by booming extra points, there hasn't been much upheaval to the suggestion that the practice go the way of wagon trains and slide rules.
In explaining his idea, Goodell said that the extra point after a touchdown is almost automatic. It would be fair to drop the word "almost."
"I believe we had five missed extra points this year out of 1,200 some odd," he said during an interview with NFL.com. "So it's a very small fraction of the play, and you want to add excitement with every play."
It's hard to argue with that. Only five were missed all season, and four of those were blocked.
It's odd that it's taken so long for someone to seriously broach the subject of eliminating extra points. Maybe nobody wanted to tamper with tradition.
But if not PATs, then what?
The aforementioned Groza was a Hall-of-Famer with the Cleveland Browns whose 21-year season as a kicker and lineman began in 1946. He made 810 of 833 extra points, according to Pro-Football-Reference.com, in a day when games were played in mud and snow, and no one dreamed of turf fields or indoor stadiums.
Nevertheless, Groza drove the ball through the uprights with a high degree of regularity. That's when he wasn't blocking or tackling as a lineman - his other job.
In recent years, Patriots coach Bill Belichick was perhaps the first to suggest rethinking chip shot kicks. Something with a success rate nearing perfection isn't much of a challenge, he pointed out.

I am very sorry and do not thank any one for writing that which will give my Family & Friends so much uneasiness.

So it's "fear-mongering" when the right makes a movie about the left. But when Michael Moore makes "Fahrenheit 911" or Al Gore makes "An Inconvenient Truth," it's considered scientific fact and are considered a nut if you oppose it.

In addition to reviewing print and online media, Media Matters monitors at least 150 hours of television and radio each week. This section features highlights (or low-lights) from our monitoring efforts, other noteworthy clips as well as original videos.
Right-wing media are parroting local Republican officials and criticizing voter registration drives in Ferguson, Missouri, the site of intense protests after the death of unarmed teenager Michael Brown. Voting rights advocates argue that registering the electorate is crucial for the community to hold their government accountable, but right-wing media condemn these efforts as "liberal activism."
Fox News hosts criticized the Department of Justice's decision to investigate the beheading of journalist James Foley by Islamic State extremists. In fact, such investigations are routine and were pursued under President George W. Bush for Americans killed abroad during his administration.
In response to the protests following the shooting of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, the right-wing media have unleashed an array of race-baiting tropes. From "lynch mobs" to "race pimps," here are some of the worst examples.
Conservative media figures have wrongly accused Muslim groups and leaders of failing to denounce the violent acts of the terrorist group the Islamic State (ISIS or ISIL), despite the fact that numerous Muslim religious authorities, advocacy groups, and Imams have come together to denounce the Islamic State's un-Islamic crimes against humanity.

- Consider getting a portable HEPA unit air cleaner to use in sleeping areas.
- Consider getting HEPA filters for your heating/cooling system and your vacuum cleaner.
- Have someone else vacuum for you. Avoid a room that has been freshly vacuumed. If you do vacuum, use a dust mask.
- Keep the humidity down in your house. This may help prevent the growth of mold.
- Treat allergies and sinusitis as recommended.
- Avoid strong chemicals or odors like perfume.
- Avoid strenuous outdoor exercise during days with high air pollution, a high pollen count, or a high ozone level.
- Get a yearly seasonal flu shot . Colds and flus can exacerbate asthma.
- Don't smoke. If you are pregnant, it is very important that you do not smoke.
- Avoid secondhand smoke. Do not allow anyone to smoke in your home.

There are a lot of fantastic foods in the BBQ world. Chicken, beef brisket, pulled pork, you get the picture. But I must confess, I think the most enjoyable plate of food in the world of BBQ is made up of smoky, spicy, sweet, juicy and tender ribs.
I started thinking about how many various versions of ribs there are all over the world. So in this week's column I will cover some tips for cooking ribs, interspersed with some unique rib dishes served in various cultures all over the world.
First, here is a list of unique ribs.
Lamb ribs: These ribs are available in the U.S., but not real common. In Australia, they are as popular as pork ribs are here in the States. They are also widely available in Europe, North Africa and New Zealand.
Beef ribs: The long beef ribs are what is left when the butcher trims a prime rib. Sweet, meaty and delicious, the long rib is the prime cut of beef ribs. This beef is tender, so you can grill them over high heat or cook them low and slow. Your choice.
Veal ribs: Honestly, veal bums me out in general, because it's a young calf. But, I'm told they are some of the best ribs in the world. I don't think I will ever test the theory. I have limits.
Bison Ribs: The ribs of buffalo are very similar to beef ribs, although they are a little leaner and sweeter. You can now order them online.
Fish ribs: Nope, this is not a fish story. There are fish big enough to produce edible ribs. An Amazonian fish called the tambaqui can grow to over 60 pounds, and the ribs are large enough to treat like traditional ribs. Have I tried them? No. Do I want to? Heck yes.
And here is some advice for my friends with gas grills.
Fill a smoker box with soaked wood chips. Turn the flames to high and get the smoke rolling. Because you are dealing with propane, gas grills have big vents. Turn off the flames entirely after the smoke is rolling, and stuff the vents with aluminum foil. Let the ribs smoke for 5 to 10 minutes. Now, take the foil out of the vents and restart the flame. Finish grilling the ribs. Not bad for a gas grill.
Another piece of advice, in general, learn to use or create a good dry rub. While ribs swimming in sauce can be delicious, sometimes ribs with a dry rub can be better. You taste the meat and the texture is awesome.
One last piece of advice, ribs should not be falling off the bone. That is considered over -cooked. They should be tender, but pull easily from the bone, not fall off.
Give ribs a try. If they scare you, drop me an email. I'll be happy to help you out.

Special to The Washington Post.
Study after study shows that Americans want to eat more healthful and sustainable food. But in restaurant dining - and 50 percent of American meals are now consumed outside the home - making the right choice can be daunting. The Cobb salad at Cosi has 709 calories and 54 grams of fat, more than a Whopper at Burger King. And despite the trend of noting farms on the menus at upscale restaurants, at most meals diners have few clues about where their food comes from.
Several ambitious organizations are aiming to take the guesswork out of eating out. Each has its own certification program that aims to make it easier for diners to find places that have undertaken the complex process of serving healthful food from farms committed to animal welfare and sustainable growing practices.
The first, REAL Certified, formally launched in the District of Columbia in April with 20 restaurants, including Ris, Nora, Energy Kitchen and Founding Farmers. This month it announced that it had certified four cafes, including one at Google, run by corporate caterer Guckenheimer. REAL, which stands for Responsible Epicurean and Agricultural Leadership, is modeled after the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED certification, which rewards builders for using sustainable materials and energy-efficient systems.
REAL Certified doles out points to restaurants for offering a certain percentage of dishes containing vegetables, whole grains, local and organic ingredients and alternatives to sugary sodas, among other things.
"We are trying to figure out which restaurants are doing the right things and give them credit," says Lawrence Williams, founder of the United States Healthful Food Council, a nonprofit, nongovernmental group that oversees the program.
Williams does not come from a food background. For eight years, he handled government relations for SpaceX, a private space exploration company. Before that, he worked on Capitol Hill. But health is his passion; he just finished his third Ironman Triathlon in Rio de Janeiro.
Until now, Williams says, it has been more profitable for restaurants to serve cheap food laden with the fat and sugar that diners crave. The goal of REAL Certified, he says, "is to create a virtuous circle. Our program encourages people that are doing the right things and puts pressure on those who aren't."
SPE Certified has a similar model. The three letters stand for Sanitas Per Escam, Latin for "health through food." Certified dishes, except for desserts, may use no butter or cream. Ingredients cannot be fried or grilled (because of the carcinogens associated with charring). But founder Emmanuel Verstraeten says SPE is less about what chefs can't use than about what they can. His culinary team works with restaurants with the goal of offering delicious and satisfying dishes without resorting to the easy tricks that make restaurant food so unhealthful. The program also rates restaurants on their sourcing and environmental impact.
SPE principles are on display at Verstraeten's Rouge Tomate, a Michelin-starred restaurant in Midtown Manhattan. The elegant space is full of blond wood and vases of green apples. It even has a juice bar. But nothing about it feels preachy.
On the day I visited, I tasted a bright walu seviche, with avocado, yuzu and snap peas; and "farroto," a satisfying twist on risotto, made with whole-grain farro, porcini, Parmesan and asparagus. "Taste is always first," Verstraeten says. "You need to enjoy your food. It is the best way to get people to eat healthy."
When SPE launched in May 2012, Verstraeten says, he believed that independent, fine-dining restaurants would be attracted. Some are. But many chefs are anxious about letting a nutritionist have the final word on their food.
Instead, SPE is making headway at larger institutions. Celebrity Cruises offers SPE-certified dishes such as tomato-watermelon salad, roasted pork loin and olive-oil custard in its main dining room and spa. The University of Massachusetts has worked with SPE to improve the nutrition and portion sizes of its most popular dishes, such as shepherd's pie.
The newest entrant to the U.S. market is Britain's Sustainable Restaurant Association. The SRA has certified 500 restaurants across the pond, from glamorous Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons in Oxfordshire to the Carluccio's chain, with 45 locations. The SRA rates restaurants on 14 criteria in three areas: society (healthful food, responsible marketing), environment (water conservation, waste management) and sourcing (serving local and seasonal items, ethically raised meats). Applicants answer a 90-question survey and must provide evidence (menus, invoices, etc.) to back up their claims. In addition to their rating of one, two or three stars, restaurants receive a report outlining where they can improve and are assigned a manager to work with them to make changes.
The SRA has been operating in Britain since 2010. Last month it decided to offer its certification around the world, and it is in the process of certifying its first class of U.S. restaurants.
"There are so many brands and certification schemes," says Mark Linehan, the SRA's managing director. "With people traveling more, and more aware of what is going on around the world, we felt it would be helpful to have a single certification that is recognizable."
As they say in England: "Quite." The whole point of certifications was to simplify decisions for consumers. Now that there are so many, diners have to do research to figure out which one to trust.
It is still early days for the programs. But if health is your focus, the most reliable certification might be SPE's. Its criteria are the most rigorous and have been reviewed by experts at the Harvard School of Public Health and the Tufts Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy. Based on what I ate at Rouge Tomate, SPE's culinary team knows how to help chefs coax flavor out of healthful ingredients without causing diners to miss a thing. (That might not hold true for Southern and barbecue restaurants, many of which by their nature would run afoul of SPE's bans on grilling, butter and lard.)
But the other certifiers have their merits. In addition to its review program, REAL Certified is looking into helping its restaurants band together to buy local and sustainable products at a discount. The strength of SRA, a veteran in the field at three years old, is its breadth of criteria; restaurants also get credit for responsible marketing to children and engagement in their community.
"It's hard to argue with any sincere attempt to allow an outside group to take a look at worthwhile efforts, evaluating and articulating results," says Clark Wolf, a restaurant consultant based in New York and Sonoma County, Calif. "That said, it's a marketing move, like sponsoring the local baseball team used to be. It's a modern way of saying, 'We're good community members, and we have the logo stamp to prove it.' "
Still, the certifications are a starting point for diners who want to make good decisions without getting a headache, and an incentive for restaurateurs to make responsible choices.
"For me, a certification speaks to what I want to do," says chef Ris Lacoste of Ris. "And the process encourages me to do better."

Record Number of Americans Seeking Government Help
by Charles Lemos, Mon Aug 30, 2010 at 05:27:56 PM EDT
That the private sector has failed should be obvious but the takeaway that conservatives will draw from the news that one in six Americans, or 17 percent, is now aid-dependent for some or all of their needs is that these Americans are somehow lazy.
The four government social safety programs most being accessed are Medicaid, Food Stamps, Unemployment Insurance and Welfare. USA Today breaks down the numbers:
More than 50 million Americans are on Medicaid, the federal-state program aimed principally at the poor, a survey of state data by USA TODAY shows. That's up at least 17% since the recession began in December 2007.
The program has grown even before the new health care law adds about 16 million people, beginning in 2014. That has strained doctors. "Private physicians are already indicating that they're at their limit," says Dan Hawkins of the National Association of Community Health Centers.
More than 40 million people get food stamps, an increase of nearly 50% during the economic downturn, according to government data through May. The program has grown steadily for three years.
Caseloads have risen as more people become eligible. The economic stimulus law signed by President Obama last year also boosted benefits.
"This program has proven to be incredibly responsive and effective," says Ellin Vollinger of the Food Research and Action Center.
Close to 10 million receive unemployment insurance, nearly four times the number from 2007. Benefits have been extended by Congress eight times beyond the basic 26-week program, enabling the long-term unemployed to get up to 99 weeks of benefits. Caseloads peaked at nearly 12 million in January — "the highest numbers on record," says Christine Riordan of the National Employment Law Project, which advocates for low-wage workers.
More than 4.4 million people are on welfare, an 18% increase during the recession. The program has grown slower than others, causing Brookings Institution expert Ron Haskins to question its effectiveness in the recession.
As caseloads for all the programs have soared, so have costs. The federal price tag for Medicaid has jumped 36% in two years, to $273 billion. Jobless benefits have soared from $43 billion to $160 billion. The food stamps program has risen 80%, to $70 billion. Welfare is up 24%, to $22 billion. Taken together, they cost more than Medicare.
The necessity of jump-starting the economy should be obvious. Conservatives worry that government programs won't contract after the recession and that we're creating some of sort lasting dependency to government assistance. "They're much harder to unwind in the long term," says Michael Tanner of the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank. I guess Mr. Tanner and his libertarian ilk would prefer that Americans line up for private charities and soup kitchens. This isn't just the poor that we are talking about. Increasingly those accessing these social safety net programmes are those who formerly comprised the middle classes.
In 2006, the SEIU and the Center for American Progress published a report entitled Middle Class in Turmoil (pdf) that warned that "despite an economic recovery well into its fifth year, middle class families are struggling to pay for a home, health insurance, transportation and their children's college education due to a weak labor market and sharply higher prices. To pay for these necessary expenditures, middle class families are borrowing record amounts of money, leaving them unable to put away hardly any cash for a rainy day."
Well, guess what that rainy day is here and it's not just a deluge but a monsoon.

Germany? Before the beginning there was Ginnungagap, an empty space of nothingness, filled with pure creative power. (Sort of like the inside of my head.)
And it ends with Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods. In between is much fighting, betrayal and romance. Just as a good Godly story should be.
Heroes have their own graveyard called Valhalla. Unfortunately we cannot show you a panorama of it at this time, nor of the lovely Valkyries who are its escort service.
Hail Odin, wandering God wielding wisdom and wand! Hail Freya, hail Tyr, hail Thor!
Odin made the many lakes and the fish in them. In his traverses across the lands he caused there to be the Mulheim Bridge in Cologne, as did he make the Mercury fountain, Mercury being of his nature.
But it is to the mighty Thor that the Hammering Man gives service.
Between the time of the Nordic old ones and that of modern Frankfort there may have been a T.Rex or two on the scene. At least some mastodons for sure came through for lunch, then fell into tar pits to become fossils for us to find.
And there we must leave you, O my most pure and holy children.
