The Mercedes-Benz G-Class was originally developed for military use back in the 1970s as a heavy-duty four-wheel-drive conveyance, but it has been updated over the decades and given as many luxuries, conveniences and refinements as possible. Not that there's any denying the G's utilitarian roots: At nearly 3 tons, describing it as an over-engineered, leather-lined rolling bank vault would be an apt portrayal. It's tall with a healthy step-in height, its doors close with a reassuring clunk, space efficiency is unexceptional and its heft contributes to poor fuel economy and ponderous handling.
So is it practical? Not really. Capable? Definitely. Desirable? Oddly, yes. As such, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class isn't the best choice for a single or even two-vehicle household, but if you've got a multicar setup with spots for a variety of cars, the G-Class is one cool super truck to add to the fleet.
Current Mercedes-Benz G-Class
The Mercedes-Benz G-Class is a five-passenger SUV offered in a single G550 trim that comes fully loaded with many of the luxury and technology items found in modern Mercedes. There are no factory options, but one can sample from the extensive "designo" catalog of custom-order paints, leather colors and interior trim choices.
The G550 is equipped with a 5.5-liter V8 generating 382 horsepower and 391 pound-feet of torque. Power is transmitted through a seven-speed automatic transmission and full-time four-wheel-drive system with lockable front, center and rear differentials. This combination is good for a 0-60 time of 6.6 seconds, with combined fuel economy of 13 mpg (what, were you expecting it to be thrifty?).
The Mercedes G-Class masks its utilitarian nature well with a comfortable highway ride, but composure suffers when it's hustled around corners due to its tanklike mass. It can be a handful to drive in the city as well, meaning that suburbanites had better think twice before choosing it as the go-to vehicle for errands.
On the other hand, the G shines off road with old-school competence that can conquer just about any terrain you're brave enough to explore. Antiquated truck-based design is a hallmark inside, too, though it's less welcome. The G-Class's awkward ergonomics and space utilization can't match the friendlier controls placement and layout of newer models. It is luxurious, however, with excellent materials quality and finish befitting a vehicle with such a lofty price point.
Used Mercedes-Benz G-Class
The Mercedes-Benz G-Class first officially showed up on American shores for 2002. It was originally only offered as the G500, sporting a 5.0-liter V8 good for 292 hp and 336 lb-ft of torque. The G55 AMG showed up the next year with its 5.5-liter supercharged V8 that produced 349 hp and 387 lb-ft of torque. It was upgraded to 469 hp and 516 lb-ft for 2005. A five-speed automatic was standard on both models until the G500 got a seven-speed auto for 2007.
Models produced prior to 2007 had lower-quality materials and less advanced interior controls. There were additional upgrades for '09, including slightly different exterior styling, a more advanced COMAND electronics interface and additional standard features like multicontour ventilated seats and an iPod interface. The G550 and its accompanying engine/transmission combo also supplanted the G500 that year, while the G55 AMG was bumped up to 500 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. Mercedes discontinued the AMG model following the 2011 model year.
It's not out of the question to find a G-Class for sale that's from earlier than 2002. The G-Class was originally the offspring of a 1979 joint venture between Mercedes-Benz and Austrian companies Steyr and Puch. The G-Wagen was imported on a "gray market" basis for two decades before officially arriving on U.S. shores. Powered by a variety of gasoline and diesel engines, early Gs were rugged utilitarian workhorses with a go-anywhere reputation.

Career Advisor FAQ
- What is the Career Advisor Program?
- What do career advisors do?
- Who can be a career advisor? How do I sign up?
- What can a career advisor help with?
- What is the best way to find and contact a career advisor?
1. What is the Career Advisor Program?
The cornerstone of the Career Network, the Career Advisor Program is a rich collection of Willamette alumni, parents and friends who prove the old adage: it's not what you know, it's who you know. Connections are essential to success and one of the most valuable resources alumni have is their connection to other Willamette alumni.[back to top]
2. What do career advisors do?
Career advisors share experiences, offer insights and provide professional connections to current students and other alumni. They are not expected to make job offers or to necessarily know of jobs that are available.[back to top]
3. Who can be a career advisor? How do I sign up?
Any Willamette alumnus, parent or friend who has a heart for helping and who is willing to share their expertise, experiences and knowledge. To sign up, log in to The Compass and fill out a Career Advisor profile under the Career Network, or email Colleen Sump at email@example.com.[back to top]
4. What can a career advisor help with?
- Hands-On Experience: Often times, the best way to make a decision about a career path is to get some hands-on experience. Many career advisors have insider knowledge about job shadowing, volunteering, internships and mentorships.
- Career Transition: You're in a career transition and you need some new ideas or suggestions about how you could apply your experience and skills to a different industry.
- Entering the Workforce After College: You're a recent graduate with a vague idea about what you'd like to do. A career advisor can give you insider knowledge about trends and career paths that can help you narrow your career target.
- Active Job Search: When you're in an active job search, the more people you talk to, the better you'll be positioned to take advantage of the right opportunity at the right time.
- Geographic Relocation: You have relocated and need to find a job. A career advisor in your new city may be able to provide some advice about the job market in your new location, as well as provide networking ideas.
- Career/Occupational Research: You want some accurate information about the careers that interest you, including networking events, professional organizations, contacts, experiential opportunities and trade shows/conferences.
- Application Material Preparation: You are preparing an industry or position-specific application and would like someone to review you resume, letter, writing samples or portfolio.
5. What is the best way to find and contact a career advisor?
Log into The Compass and click on Search for career advisors. When filling in the fields, keep in mind that a broad search will result in a greater number of options. You do not have to fill in all the fields! Once you find someone you would like to contact, email him or her first to introduce yourself and ask about their availability. It is often more convenient for the advisor to talk on the phone or meet in person than to exchange emails.
Here are some other suggestions:
- Identify yourself as a Willamette University student or alumnus/alumna who is exploring careers, and that you found his or her name through the Career Advisor Program.
- Ask for a few minutes of their time to ask about career information and/or get advice. Remember that you are building a network of personal contacts in addition to gathering information.
- Be prepared with intelligent questions.
- Be prepared to share your resume if asked.
- Send a thank you note and ask for a follow up call or meeting if that would be helpful to you.
We hope you will spread the word about the Career Advisor program to other alumni and parents. We could always use more advisors. And if you are someone who has utilized the services of a career advisor, we hope that you will consider becoming a career advisor yourself.[back to top]

I believe in exercise, in personal trainers, in massage therapy, in yoga, in walking and stretching, and even in acupuncture. I did not always feel this passionate about personal fitness, but I had an episode about 15 years ago that made me a true believer.
Early on Easter Monday morning, I rolled over in bed and felt something "ping" in my back. Pain shot through my lower back and down my left leg. I could barely move.
The Piperettes played an individual point quota tournament April 15. Players determine their point quota by subtracting their handicap from 50. Players with scores closest to or more than their quota win. Scoring consisted of eagle (8), birdie (5), par (3), bogie (2) and double bogey (1).
In the Sand to Piper Flight, Wanda Green won with 15. Judy DeStefon tied Judy Hanna for second with 11, Kathy Manning was fourth with 9 and Mary Dickerson finished fifth with 8.
SHALLOTTE—West Brunswick used stingers, dribblers and bunts—not to mention alert base-running—to trounce league-leading Hoggard 10-1 Friday night.
The win pulls the Trojans within one game of Hoggard and Laney, tied for first in the Mideastern Conference standings.
West pounded 10 hits in the first three innings, and yet, only three of those 10 made it out of the infield. The Vikings got a glove on and were able to knock down several balls, but by the time they picked up the ball, Trojan base-runners were safely on base.
West Brunswick's Josh Johnson, Marc Cajuste and Cherell Frink turned in outstanding performances and brought home medals from the Brunswick County Track Meet April 15 at North Brunswick.
The North Brunswick boys won the team competition with 113 points, followed by West Brunswick with 29 and South Brunswick with 23.
South Brunswick topped the girls' team totals with 98 points, followed by North Brunswick with 45 and West Brunswick with 14.
SHALLOTTE—Victor Central High School's Erin Nargi struck out 18 of 25 batters as the Blue Devils blanked West Brunswick 6-0 in softball Thursday night.
"She was throwing between 64 and 67 mph, and we don't see that around here," West coach Joe Noble said. "She was poppin'."
The visitors from Victor, N.Y., 20 miles south of Rochester, had only four hits but strung together the ones they needed to win.
Girls soccer
South Brunswick slipped past West Brunswick 2-1 Thursday.
Sheena Suttlemyre scored the goal for the Lady Trojans, and Mary Dorn had the assist.
Both West goal keeper Ariel Gravino and South Brunswick goalie Kat Adams had eight saves.
"Our players played really well," West coach Laura Libero said. "The players we brought in there to play in the absence of our regular players did a tremendous job. We just have to learn how to play the whole 80 minutes and finish the game."
South Brunswick 8 East Columbus 0
South Brunswick scored eight runs on five hits and allowed only one hit in its 8-0 shutout of East Columbus April 15.
"That is back-to-back one-hitters for Ryan Morgan and Ryan Waldrep (in relief)," South coach Lee Shelton said.
Morgan, the winning pitcher, also hit a grand slam.
"Ryan Morgan pitched outstanding," Shelton said. "That was another great outing by him."
Morgan also picked up 4 RBI with one swing of the bat in the first inning.
North Brunswick beat Trask 4-0 on April 16.
"We made excellent passes and moved the ball through the defense quickly," North coach Amy Keeter said.
"We scored three goals in the first half: Christy Morris assisted by Shauni Garcia, Abigail Hernandez unassisted and Shauni Garcia unassisted. Abigail Hernandez put another shot in goal assisted by Christy Morris before time ran out."
Four Republican gubernatorial candidates squared off Thursday night at the Stand Up and Vote Candidates Forum.
But only one Democrat showed up for the event.
Democratic candidates Bev Purdue and Richard Moore were no-shows at the event, despite being invited, forum host Curtis Wright said.
Col. Dennis Nielsen, the lone Democrat, took the stage alone to answer questions from the debate panel and from audience members.
Nielsen tackled several topics, including immigration, education and government corruption.
The Republicans had a more lively debate.
SHALLOTTE—Saturday morning, Bill Negron stood at the front of the fellowship hall at Camp United Methodist Church and announced volunteers would pass an offering plate.
It wasn't a usual occurrence for residents attending this devotional session that precedes the weekly food pantry distribution, but Negron said an offering will be an integral part of the newly launched Cornerstone Ministry, a nonprofit aimed at aiding the food pantry and its recipients.

If you're going on a first date, you might be feeling a little nervous. What are you going to talk about? Will you have anything in common? What to wear? Enter Valerie Joseph, professional stylist!
Website match.com claims that one in five relationships start online. We all have busy lives, so for those of you that are single, it's harder and harder to meet people to date.
The dating scene has moved to cell phone apps that use your GPS location at that very moment to suggest other singles at your location that are also looking to meet people. Cyber Expert Theresa Payton tells you how to use technology to your advantage without being taken advantage of:
"If someone uses this app long enough, they may see you on there several times, which means a stranger knows your favorite places and where you hang out," she explains.
Theresa also adds that nothing is ever "private" on the internet so photos, GPS locations, and other dating information is just another hunting ground for stalkers.
If you are into digital dating, Theresa says you should stay away from sharing GPS locations and pictures of yourself at your favorite places.
"Use only trusted dating sites that do some background checks and screening," she says.
Drive your own vehicle to the date and let a friend or loved one know where you will be. Have a proposed "check in" time with them to let them know you are home safely.
"You can use these services to see who is available without identifying yourself as available, so that might be another option," Theresa adds. "Just make sure you screen people first, because the old school rule, 'Don't talk to strangers' always applies!"
Safe online dating tips and how to report problems can be found at the National Sexual Violence Resource Center.

The Bachelor of Science in Molecular Biology and Biotechnology at Clarion University of Pennsylavania is a unique college degree, designed in collaboration with graduate school programs in molecular biology and the biotechnology industry. This degree, prepares students for one of the most important career fields in modern biology (it was recently rated as one of the "hot" careers by U.S. News & World Report), and reflects the fact that Clarion is a first-rate, comprehensive university.
The molecular biology/biotechnology major is a thorough academic degree program. Students gain practical experience through hands-on work in the laboratories which accompany all courses, as well as an in-depth theoretical understanding from classroom discussion.
As a teaching university, Clarion University of Pennsylvania provides an excellent undergraduate education in molecular biology and biotechnology. The Biology Department at Clarion University has 15 full-time faculty. There are 5 full-time faculty in the molecular biology/biotechnology program with the Ph.D. and research experience from some of the most prestigious universities in the United States and Europe.
This size makes it possible to have expertise in nearly all of the enormously diverse fields which make up modern biology. However, the most important responsibility for all Clarion faculty is excellent teaching. Upper-class sizes are small so that faculty can carefully assess the students' progress, provide individualized help, and assist the student in finding a suitable career. Our large and diverse faculty, combined with the emphasis on teaching of a small school, gives students an excellent opportunity to realize their fullest academic potential.
The curriculum teaches not only biology and molecular biology, but gives students the competency in chemistry and mathematics that gains them an "edge" after graduation. The junior and senior years provide the student with a solid background in molecular biology, cell physiology, microbial genetics, and biochemistry. A final course in biotechnology gives students the opportunity to apply their knowledge in a research oriented setting. Students majoring in the Molecular Biology/Biotechnology Program are particularly encouraged to participate in undergraduate research.
Employment Opportunities
Employment opportunities in basic or applied research are among the best in science. For those who wish to work immediately after graduation, the B.S. in Molecular Biology/Biotechnology provides graduates with the knowledge of molecular biology and experimental techniques needed to qualify as an entry-level scientist in the biotechnology industry. Clarion graduates are employed by biotech companies, pharmaceutical companies and basic research labs at universities.
Graduate Schools
The molecular biology/biotechnology degree from Clarion University provides an excellent background for graduate study, at the master's or Ph.D. levels. Graduates from Clarion University are extremely competitive for graduate school, and almost always receive teaching and research fellowships as well.
Our graduates are also attending leading verterianry schools.
Undergraduate Research and Internships
Undergraduate research and internships are an integral part of the training our students receive in biotechnology. Scientists learn their profession in the same way that students in art and other professions learn theirs - by doing it. Hands-on research in close collaboration with an experienced scientist shows students the creative process of designing and carrying out an experiment and the critical thinking involved in analyzing the data. The experience of doing rigorous research demonstrates to employers and graduate schools an ability to work and think independently and the persistence needed to complete a major project. One-hundred percent of biotechnology majors have the opportunity to do undergraduate research.
Internships are especially beneficial because they are frequently used as a mechanism for attracting and evaluating prospective employees and graduate students. Clarion students successfully compete with students nation-wide for paid summer internships.

Lincoln police arrested the driver of a car after he crashed into a building early Tuesday.
It happened near Cornhusker Highway and North Antelope Valley Parkway just before 4 a.m.. The building is an auto detailing shop.
Police say when they arrived they found the Nissan Pathfinder against the building and the rear tires spinning. Police say 28-year-old Matthew Birch was behind the wheel passed out. The tires were heavily damaged.
Police say they tried to place Birch under arrest, but he became combative. He was taken into custody for resisting arrest and failure to comply.
The car caused minor damage to the exterior of the building. Investigators said most likely the driver was coming down the ramp from North Antelope Valley Parkway onto Cornhusker Highway when he lost control, ran up onto the curb and hit the building. Police expect more charges once the investigation is complete.

Once you know how much money you need, you will need to make some decisions about where the money will come from.
You can finance your business with equity and debt:
Equity is usually required to be eligible to get debt. Lenders like it when owners have a strong personal investment in a business�s success. Equity includes:
Why Put In Your Own Money?
Using your own holdings to finance a business idea may seem risky. But there may be good reasons to consider it.
Debt comes from banks, government agencies, suppliers and individuals willing to lend you money. Debt gives you leverage � the opportunity to use other people�s capital to expand your business or cover cash shortfalls when you need it.
Borrowing is a good choice. RBC small business advisors will help you use different types of financing to meet different needs.
Being a Good Credit Risk
Since a new business may not have a credit history, a bank will often look at the credit history of the owner. Your credit history is your personal history of repaying loans and credit cards on time. Here�s what you can do to create a good credit history:
If you are turned down for a loan, look at your application and see what you can do to improve it. Talk to your banker, consider making changes and, if you can, resubmit it.

Joanne & Eddie finish up their last interview as a Warehouse 13 cast and give a shout out to all you loyal fans!
On a rainy day at the Warehouse, Pete accidentally triggers an artifact that transforms the team into two-dimensional diorama versions of themselves, and returns the Warehouse to its original, unstable design.
Who knew Claudia had those moves?! OK, so maybe they're artifact-induced, but we're so in love with the spangles, we don't care!

cattleman cont.
The history of welfare in the U.S. started long before the government welfare programs we know were created. In the early days of the United States, the colonies imported the British Poor Laws. These laws made a distinction between those who were unable to work due to their age or physical health and those who were able-bodied but unemployed. The former group was assisted with cash or alternative forms of help from the government. The latter group was given public service employment in workhouses.
When the Great Depression hit, many families suffered. It is estimated that one-fourth of the labor force was unemployed during the worst part of the depression. With many families suffering financial difficulties, the government stepped in to solve the problem and that is where the history of welfare as we know it really began.
Under President Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Social Security Act was enacted in 1935. The act, which was amended in 1939, established a number of programs designed to provide aid to various segments of the population. Unemployment compensation and AFDC (originally Aid to Dependent Children) are two of the programs that still exist today.

Qt Updates: Qt 4.5.1, Creator 1.1 and Plugin for Visual Studio
The Qt Software division of Nokia has fixed problems in Qt 4.5.1 and is releasing an improved Qt Creator 1.1. Also new is a plugin to integrate Qt with Microsoft's Visual Studio.
A whole lot of minor changes went into Qt Creator 1.1: syntax highlighting and code completion for qdoc and doxygen tags, a split editor rework, and a new option to start in an external terminal. The Qt development environment now also supports JavaScript and provides a wrapper script for the Linux libQt3Support library to prevent crashes in, say, openSUSE 11.1.
Qt Creator, sleek and editor-like, first appeared October 2008. Developers informed about its progress in a blog. All details of Creator 1.1, its third version so far, are included in release notes.

Godofredo Pepey ( 9-2) vs. Sam Sicilia (11-3) Featherweight
When we last left our heroes...As usual, our facebook card starts us out with TUF appetizers. The fighters who are the mozzarella sticks, and cheese fries of the division. So it is with these two gentlemen, who hopefully aren't insulted by being compared to food considered an enemy to your coronary.
Anyway, Godofredo is a product of TUF, the Brazil edition. Which is why the name doesn't sound familiar for a lot of people. He's currently 1-2 in the UFC, his losses against Rony Bezerra and Felipe Arantes, his lone victory over Milton Vieria.
Across from Pepey is Sicilia, whose name evokes the broadest of associations, and therefore an excuse to link to this great exchange between Christopher Walken and Dennis Hopper.
These fights have me in a vendetta kind of mood, so it's worth noting that Sicilia is also 1-2 in the UFC, beating Christiano Marcello, and losing his last two to Rony Bezerra and Maximo Blanco.
What both men can do: This fight is your classic exchange between two specialists in different camps. Pepey is the grappler, Sicilia the striker. Castro (Pepey's actual last name) has solid ground chops, and just what you'd expect out of a black belt. His biggest asset is the speed with which he moves. I think some ground specialists tend to take for granted their superiority, and don't move as quick as they should when say, securing the hooks. Castro doesn't have this problem.
He hasn't had a chance to really do much to prove this, but just watch his amateur bouts. As for Sicilia, he has one of the more brutal right hands in the division. He'll be looking to land that, in case you couldn't put two and two together.
What both men can't do: In a way this is the perfect fight for Sicilia, Castro is an unimposing featherweight, and as we've seen in his previous losses, has a difficult time getting fights to the ground that need to be fought on the ground. Sicilia has lot to decent fighters thus far, and I think he'll be able to keep the bout on the feet here.
X-Factor: Illicit drugs lead to a NC?
Prediction: Sam Sicilia by TKO, round 2.
Thiago Perpetuo (9-1-1) vs. Omari Akhmedov (11-0) Middleweight
When we last left our heroes...Another product of TUF in Brazil, Thiago Perpetuo lost to the eventual show winner by brutal head kick knockout, Cezar Ferreira. He's 1-0 in the UFC however, beating Leonardo Mafra at UFC 147.
Opposite Perpetuo is the unknown in Omari who has been taking names in Russia with the usual mixture of Sambo-inspired violence. His last victory was over Fabricio Nascimento via guillotine.
What both men can do: 7 of his Thiago's victories are by knockout, so he'll be looking to keep it on the feet. He's got some brawler instincts when it comes to boxing...opting for big, winging right hands, and left hooks. He's a decent fighter who relies on being tougher, and catching opponents on the inside.
As for Omari, I feel like I can forego talking technique on this one. He's a Sambo guy who is part of this current Sambo revival, which means he's a destroyer of men, producer of collective lamentation.
He loves to throw a right leg kick from the traditional stance, and also has a pretty quicked guillotine. When you watch him, he strikes a lot like Rustam Khabilov; a powerful right hand, and a laser of a left hook.
What both men can't do: Thiago doesn't really fair well from a distance. he likes to throw inside, but as we saw against Mutante, someone with a reach advantage gives me serious trouble. Omari not only is taller, but his punches are quicker. Omari should be able to outmuscle, outgrapple, and outstrike 'Bodao'.
X-Factor: Sambo is to MMA right now what comic books are to movies. No blockbusters just yet (my money is on Nurmagmedov)
Prediction: Omari Ahkmedov by Sambo, round 3.
Thiago Tavares (17-5-1) vs. Justin Salas (11-4) Lightweight
When we last left our heroes...It's been awhile since we've seen Tavares in the octagon. Once considered a blue chip prospect back when Tyson Griffin was also thought of as the future of the division, Tavares has since stumbled over and over in the UFC. He's not a bad fighter, but he hasn't progressed like many hoped. He's coming off a loss to Sambo at the Belfort vs. Bisping show, but is 2-1 in his last three.
As for Salas, he's coming off a win over Aaron Riley, which ended in Riley's retirement.
What both men can do: Salas is a solid enough journeyman. He doesn't do any one thing great, but with his southpaw stance, he moves around a lot, throws crisp short punches, and occasionally switches stances to optimize his transition game.
He doesn't have explosive takedowns, but he times them well and understands his limitations. As for Tavares, he has a strong wrestling base to compliment his grappling. His striking was never his strong suit, but he's developed at over the years through trial and error. While he has a rudimentary right hand, it's his leg kicks that are his best weapon on the feet.
What both men can't do: Salas doesn't ever really sit down on his punches. Because of his need to move around constantly, he has a hard time developing a rhythm on the feet. I like Tavares in this one because Thiago has only had trouble lately with guys who can have raw power, and can catch Tavares' somewhat crackable chin. In which case he'll be more than comfortable pressing the action with leg kicks, and attempted takedowns. He's just not giving Salas any room to breathe in this one. I think the fight is competitive, but I also think there's a clear winner.
X-Factor: N/A
Prediction: Thiago Tavares by Decision.
Adriano Martins (24-6) vs. Daron Cruickshank (13-3) Lightweight
When we last left our heroes...Adriano Martins will be making his UFC debut after predictably taking out Jorge Gurgel in Strikeforce. The fighter from Manaus, Brazil is on a five fight winning streak and will be taking on the compelling TUF fighter, Daron Cruickshank.
Daron is fresh off a victory over Yves Edwards in a fight I found extremely rewarding. He's 3-1 in the UFC thus far, so a win will do nothing for his UFC career except keep him from getting that pink slip. No offense to Martins.
What both men can do: Nonetheless, this is a fantastic fight in a lot of ways. For one, both guys prefer to stand, and somehow Joe Silva just loves putting Cruickshank against other strikers, and manages to find those eccentric matchups for him. This one is no different.
Martins loves his straight left. He throws his combinations in rapid fashion, always keeping his punches straight. He also has some pretty dirty knees in the clinch. What's fun about this fight is that Daron likes to do the same thing, generally preferring the kicks over the punches. He's got a fantastic array of "that spinning shit" at his disposal.
He's also lightning quick. The fact that he was able to comfortably outdual Yves Edwards says a lot, even if it wasn't aesthetically more impressive than say, Stout's win over Yves.
What both men can't do: Still, I like Daron in this fight. Martins doesn't protect his legs well, and he protects his head even worse. He comes from the Ricardo Arona school of defense. Granted, Cruickshank doesn't have blistering power, but he throws piercing strikes, which is why he'll take over this bout with better technique. His foot movement will keep him out of range of Martins' flurries, while his kicks will ensure victory.
X-Factor: N/A
Prediction: Daron Cruickshank by Decision.
Jose Maria Tome (33-4-2 NC) vs. Dustin Ortiz (11-2) Flyweight
When we last left our heroes...Jose Maria Tome is a solid little fighter who had the raw bad luck of drawing a morbidly obese John Lineker in his UFC debut; a fighter who continues to make enemies by not being a professional.
Aside from that unfortunate series of events, he hadn't lost a bout since 2008 prior. Opposite Tome is Ortiz, who is making his UFC debut after a few wins in smaller shows like KOTC.
What both men can do: Like most flyweights these guys do it all in fast motion. One of the things Tome does well is sneak in knees to the head during exchanges. It's a skill not many fighters polish, but Tome is very good at it, in addition to having a pretty good standup game. He throws solid left hooks moving forward, or on his backfoot. Of his 33 victories, he's only gone to a decision three times, which tells you a lot of about his ability to win either during scrambles, or with strikes.
Ortiz is similar in a lot of ways, but whereas Tome likes to go for the finish, Ortiz is a lot more patient. He can box well enough, but like a lot of flyweights, he excels in the transitions, timing his takedowns swiftly after a a brief combination or through a counter.
What both men can't do: I guess what I don't like about Ortiz' game is that he's not overly aggressive. That's not a crime in any other circumstance, but at flyweight you need to be constantly on the move and Ortiz can get that deer in the headlights look, where he seems to be chasing his opponent too much. It's why I favor Tome in this one. Tome will be looking to keep the fight standing, and his aggression should be the deciding factor.
X-Factor: N/A
Prediction: Jose Maria Tome by Decision.

The 2013 4-H program is under way statewide. If your child is in the third or fourth grades in Cass County, they should have brought home some information about 4-H (Mini 4-H for first- and second-graders).
4-H is the largest youth organization in this country. Over 150,000 of Indiana's youths, grades 3-12, are learning firsthand about leadership, responsibility, competition and fun in the state 4-H program. In addition, over 75,000 Indiana children second grade and under, participate in hands-on learning activities through the Mini 4-H , Exploring 4-H, and school enrichment programs. The learn-by-doing concept provides all youths with several unique learning opportunities.
4-H is a non-formal youth development education program of the Purdue University Cooperative Extension Service. Programs are conducted in all 92 counties, and participants benefit from the experience and guidance of more than 15,000 adult volunteer leaders and professional staff.
One way young people gain knowledge and skills necessary to become successful citizens is through participation in 4-H. As participants, they gain respect for themselves and others, learn how to use technology, explore career and leisure time opportunities, develop leadership and citizenship skills and acquire good health habits.
Over 60 projects are offered statewide but these are some of the popular ones in Cass County: rabbits, dog obedience, bicycle, food and nutrition, aerospace, photography, wildlife, collections, gift-wrapping, crafts, pocket pets, and shooting sports, a firearm safety project. Projects and activities cover a wide range of subject areas and offer something for youth in communities of every size.
The 4-H program provides a variety of activities as well. 4-H is more than doing a project for the fair. Many youth get involved in doing several 4-H events across the state including, 4-H fashion revue modeling, 4-H share-the-fun skits, tractor driving contest, 4-H demonstration and public speaking, 4-H camp, state 4-H band and state 4-H chorus, 4-H junior leader conference, 4-H Roundup trip, state fair leadership conference, citizenship Washington focus trip to Washington, D.C., and many others. You might even remember a couple years ago when Jacob Fisher from Logansport participated in a 4-H International Exchange trip to Australia for four weeks in the summer! Yes, 4-H is international, too.
The 4-H program is for young men and women regardless of where they live, noting that 30 percent of Indiana's membership now resides in major cities and 20 percent in towns with populations of 10,000 to 50,000. This is not just a program for youth in small towns and rural areas.
To be involved in the Cass County 4-H program for 2013, youth need to complete a 4-H enrollment form by March 1. Enrollment forms are available at the Cass County Extension Office on the third floor of the county government building, also available from a 4-H leader, or on the Cass County Extension website, www.ag.purdue.edu/counties/cass, by clicking on "Youth Development."
Families can now enroll in 4-H online at www.four-h.purdue.edu/enroll. Parents interested in enrolling a child in 4-H or learning more about the program are encouraged to contact the Cass County Extension Office, 753-7750, or a 4-H Leader in their area. A 4-H information night will be 7 p.m. Tuesday in the Cloverleaf Complex at the Cass County 4-H Fairgrounds.
Lynn Korniak is the 4-H youth extension educator for Cass County.

Activity Rooms & Playspaces
Activity Room for Teens
There's an activity room just for teens to hang out in on the 11th floor. In addition to the special lighting with cool effects, you'll also find:
- Two computers for teens to use the internet, communicate with friends from home, and play video games
- An X-Box 360 with games designed for teens
- Large flat-screen TV for events like Movie Night just for teens
- I-POD with docking station for teens to listen to music they enjoy
- Crafts, such as jewelry making and scrap booking
- Board and card games
For younger patients, there are playspaces on the 11th and 12th floors. Play is essential to normal growth, learning and development in children. For a child in the hospital, play also allows for normalcy in the chaos of illness and assists in distraction from pain, trauma and anxiety. The playspaces are "safe" spaces because no procedures, consults or exams are allowed there.
Multisensory Room
Multisensory rooms are used for children with developmental disabililties and for pediatric rehabilitation. The room allows pediatric patients to interact with their environment through sensory input. The materials and equipment in the room are controlled by the therapist to meet the individualized needs of each patient. The goal of the sensory stimulation is to:
- Promote relaxation and enjoyment
- Relieve pain and distress
- Provide developmentally supportive activities that enhance behavioral, cognitive and physiological outcomes
- Maximize therapeutic interventions
The Golisano Children's Hospital is the first children's hospital to have an inpatient multisensory room in the United States.

Swype worked for me without any issues in protrait mode with split screen straight out ot installing Anna

Hi all,
I'll just re-post what I've added to another thread a bit earlier, in case somebody reading here has problems:
What should I do if I get an error message that the installation of the Symbian Anna 1/2 installation pack failed?
There are two solutions on how to resolve this issue:
1) We have distributed a new version of the Symbian Anna 1/2 installation pack, that you can easily download by using the software update application on your phone (which is visible under Menu>Applications>Software Update on N8 & E7 or Menu>Applications>Tools>Software Update for C6-01 & C7). Note: If you have used the Software Update app in the last 24 hours, please reset the cache by changing the date of your phone to a date 4 weeks from now.
2) Even if you got the message that the update failed, most of the content did get installed nevertheless. The only applications missing are QuickOffice and Adobe pdf reader. To finish the installation for those, you can download QuickOffice and the Adobe pdf reader via the following links:

Does anyone faced this issue below ?
Oovi maps stopped working after I downloaded and upgraded to Anna (US version) on my N8.
The maps says "Error in Connection".
I think all my downloaded maps (I downloaded a few US state maps offline) might also have been wiped out from the device since I am not able to view even the local maps.
The screen just is empty with only GPS coordinates + the Connection Error is always flashed at the top left of the screen periodically
Before the Anna upgrade , this was working good for me
Does anyone knows how to resolve this issue
Thanks much

Greetings everyone,
I live in Croatia, Europe, and a few days ago I got a brand-new, unlocked E7 ( 059F6L7) from the States. It came with the S3 OS preinstalled. Naturally I wanted to update to Anna, but it doesn't show up in the SWU manager at all. I went through this and some other threads (tried both skyee's methods), but it still simply doesn't appear.
Anna is released for the Croatian market, and now for the US one as well, and my model is listed in the first post ergo I'm finding it very difficult to see the problem here.
I didn't notice anybody with a similar problem, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

3.5/5 rDev -6.7%
Pours a cloudy light amber with fizzy white head and poor retention. Cidery apple up front with a bit of spice and orange peel and coriander. Tiny bit of mint hiding in there as well. Taste follows with cider, and spice. A real jumble of flavors, it's hard to pick them all out, but the cider is really overpowering. It seems too young and needs some time. A little too sweet as well. Mouthfeel is thin and acrid. Overall it's not very good, but I'm not going to kill the rating, assuming that I should have cellared this thing until at least sometime next year. If you've got one, leave it alone, it'll probably get better with some time.

Thanks for sharing, Paul.
Pours a hazy golden orange color with a white head. Really nice spice and yeast aroma to this. Some coriander, white pepper, and nutmeg to go along with lots of fruits such as banana, pear, and apple. Good bread/biscuit malt base to it as well. A bit sweeter than I like my saisons, but really nice. Lots of fruits, sweet malt flavors of bread, and a moderate spiciness. Light yeast, a little citrus hoppiness, and wheat.

Wakway under the O'Neil bridge.
We the undersigned residents of the Shoals area in North Alabama are petitioning ALDOT to consider, renovating, repairing or replacing the walkway under the O'Neil bridge to provide bicycle and walking access between Florence and Sheffield, Tuscumbia and Muscle Shoals Alabama. We believe this would be a suitable cause to use some of the economic stimulus funds. There is currently no access locally across the Tennessee river and believe this issue should be addressed as soon as possible.

4.3/5 rDev +0.5%
Dark reddish copper body is topped by a tan head that displays great retention for a barleywine. The aroma is sweet malt and fruit, balanced very well by some assertive hops (did the bottle say Tomahawk?) Very sweet, yet very hoppy, as expected from a young barleywine from Stone. There are some alcohol notes controlling the taste, but the malt and hops put up a good fight to get noticed as well. The mouthfeel is very thick and rewarding. The drinkability is good, even at this young age. I hope to find a few more bottles of this to age for a while, because this is a very good beer now that I expect will only improve as the years go by. Another rewarding experience compliments of the Stone Brewing Company.

Appearance: Pours a crystal clear reddish-amber. A light tan head stays strong at a small cap.
Smell: Lots of sweet malt, lots of raw hops. Simple enough...
Taste: What begins as bitter and coarse, then smooths out with a shot of sweet malt that is both caramelly and fruity. The hops have much more of a grapefruit flavor than last year, but still retain a lemony, citrus taste. A touch of roasted malt shows up on the tail end. Finishes bitter and burnt with a burst of alcohol that lingers on and on...
Mouthfeel: Thick and syrupy, with a dry crisp mouthfeel. Leaves a nice alcoholic warmth on the palate.
Drinkability: Good overall drinkability. This one is a bit better than last year's, as the alcohol is less noticeable in the flavor. A well done barley wine.
Yet another fantastic brew from Stone!

Pour is a deep mahogany, with a small tan head that leaves little lace, a lot of clingy carb bubbles on the glass with the initial pour. Aroma has a big caramel sweetness, backed up with a strong hop presence. Flavor starts with dominant sweetness (mostly caramel), middle has some "raw" maltiness to it, and ends with a rather strong spicy hop assault. Incredibly thick and chewy mouthfeel.

Deep amber/ruby color. Sweet cotton candy, abv, cherry, melon smell. Quite a complex nose. Lots of fine little bubbles in the goblet. The nice white head on the pour settles into a consistant white outer ring and lace on the goblet. A pretty lookin little (I mean big) girl. Big malty nutty sweet flavor followed by a citrus bitter hop finish. It really has an impact on the tongue. It is still a little rough around the edges but this is very good for such a "young" BW. Awesome mouth and look. I can't wait to tast my others in the cellar in upcoming years. It can't get much better... but it will...;)

A- Thin light tan head on a clearish amber body. Hints of orange too.Thin and small collar with very little sticking to side of glass and a little tiny bit of lacing in the middle.
S- Alcohol, malts, bit of fruit, and some grassy and citrus hops. Smell isn't as strong as the other years. Alcohol and caramel malts come though most. It has a pretty sweet smell to it also.
T- Big caramel malt flavor. Bitterness is also big but more under everything else but it like a bumpy ground...you know it's there. Some light cirtus flavors also. Maybe a hint of grapefruit. Alcohol is pretty strong too. It is very sweet. Can taste the pale malts also. A bit of toffee. Hints of oak too (almost like part of this was aged in oak barrels and mixed with beer that wasn't (like 20/80). Bit sticky and cloggy. Big in flavors and very complex. Maybe a bit bready?
M- Light to medium carbonation. Bit cloggy with a medium to full body to it.
D- It is a very good brew but not as good as 02 and 00 (they are the top so far). Very sweet and complex.

This is a sight to be seen: Dense, lupulin rich head battles for almost a minute with the alcohol that wants to cut it down. In the end, they compromise and settle on an abstract lace atop the pint, but I sense a bitterness in both of them, some plan for revenge.
Measured. An aroma of big, but controlled hops and no alcohol leads into pineapple followed by pine, brown sugar reduction, a God-hating alcoholic dragon breath warmth, and sweet melon coming through on the finish. The Warrior hops are a wonderful go-between of the classic(ally boring) fruitiness of West Coast Cascades, the delicate peppery spiciness of some British hops, and the fight-you-to-the-13th-round retsina of Stone.
Cloying? Perhaps, but only in the sense that so many barleywines from Hardy to Victory are. With no oxidative qualities to back it up, the Stone relies on an impeccably fresh hop presence to balance the malt. This is both sweet and bitter beyond recognition, but the two flavors are so deeply concentrated that they balance, making this dangerously drinkable and paradoxically off-dry.
Despite its thickness -- a body derived clearly from an otherwise stealth alcohol -- and malt intensity, Old Guardian is in no way worty, which is what I love most about this beer. It feels like brew right out of the kettle and tastes like something fully attenuated and matured. The hops and malt linger -- the former with its floral, green, drying tongue, the latter with its tickling caramel sweetness -- and develop together with nuts, nougat, potpourri, and wood in the finish, nothing ever taking center stage.
I think this will age with the best of them. It's hedonistic now, but gives glimpses into the future of softer fruit and sugar, less piney aromatics, and more focused nuttiness on the finish.
Relax, relax.

22oz Bomber....
Poured out a rich amber color with little to no head and no lace. Strong smell of spicey hops, citrus hops and some caramel malts. Taste was fairly balanced a bitter bite at first with a sweet finish, raisons, spice, caramel and a hint of lemon or grapefruit was noticed in the flavor, quite good. Mouthfeel was rather smooth not what I had expected, I was expecting something rough with a crisp sharp bite on the palate. This was very good.

Copper-amberish color with a decent low tan head and low carbonation. Hops a bit more citric with a light fruity aroma compared to the '00 version. Tastes more balanced than aged versions. Full bodied and smooth but doesn't burn like aged versions.

Sampled at the Stuffed Sandwich. You can always count on Sam having a gem or a thousand.
A - The beer pours a deep orange color. The head was very minimal, which is standard for an aged beer. Perfect retention, lots of sedement at the bottom. The lacing took a hit as well, but again, given the age, I think this is standard.
S - Very floral. I'm getting pineapple, dark fruits, and what I'd guess to be cascade hops. Very aromatic.
T - The beer is a bit subdued, but at the same time assertive in flavor. In it's current state, it tastes very much like Fred, albeit a lot murkier and probably has a richer hop profile. Very robust malt backbone, some unfermented sugars; in sum, very complex and very delicious.
M - Medium bodied. Very yeasty.
D - Excellent beer! It probably would've tasted better fresh but it was still good nonetheless.

The Old Guardian poured a reddish copper color with a beautiful fluffy overpowering head that proclaimed its brilliance throughout the entire session.
The nose was nice. Dark fruits, caramel and a nice hop presense.
Plums, Raisins, Dates, Caramel, Cherries dominated this beer. The flavor was incredible and was so lingering on the palate. As the beer warmed more burnt dark fruits came out and the alcohol content became more alarming. Can't go wrong with Stone!

I was lucky to find this at Kahn's.Thanks Brennan! You always take care of me.
I pour this beer into a tulip. There is a slight, three quarter inch thick head that dissipates before long. The body is a clear amber color. Thin, cloudlike swirls remain. The nose is well balanced with malt, hops, and alcohol.
This beer tastes like it is in its prime. The juicy hops battle the might of the malt to a draw. Caramel malt and somewhat piney hops are the dominant flavors. I am starting to think that this might benefit from another six months of ageing.
The mouthfeel is thick and oily, which is right on for a beer of this magnitude. I could drink this beer all night, except I won't, because I only have two left.
Edit: HaHa! I found another local source!

"Limited Winter '03 Release" enjoyed at just below cellar temperature to start, and up to room temperature (65F) to finish. It pours a surprisingly clear mahogany with an orange cast and beautiful crimson and ruby highlights. (It was so clear that I had to check the bottle for sediment to see that it hadn't been filtered)! Tiny bubbles rise slowly to the surface adding to the appearance. The body is capped by a short lid of creamy light-tan foam that holds fairly well before dropping to a creamy collar and whispy surface covering. A thin head can be brought back up simply by swirling the glass; and it leaves some nice lace throughout the serving. The nose expresses deep caramel, mildly citrusy/piney hops, and just a touch of dark fruit (mainly raisins, some plum). A limited amount of alcohol becomes more apparent as it warms. The body is full and it's remarkably smooth and creamy in the mouth due in part to an exceptionally fine, and moderate carbonation. The flavor is rich with a supple caramel maltiness, a touch of fruitiness, some mild citrusy/piney hop flavor, and an assertive bitterness that's balancing rather than abrasive. I was hoping to find more of the characteristics of the Warrior hops (as I'm unfamiliar with them), but I prefer it the way that it is - well-balanced! The alcohol is extremely well hidden within the aroma and flavor, although it clearly warms in the swallow. It finishes dry, but surprisingly short for a Stone beer, with some lingering malt and a solid bitterness as well as a fair amount of spicy alcohol. It's nicely restrained (can you say that about a Stone beer and not be beaten up?). I was expecting a more assaulting barleywine after tasting the Double Bastard and Ruination, but I'm delighted to say that this is much more refined. Extremely enjoyable, and with a great level of drinkability for a beer of this strength. Very nice! I'm considering buying a case to put away but I'm on the fence about that as it seems to need to be enjoyed fresh. I fear it may lose its vivid character if left for too long. Regardless, I'm highly impressed and sad to be at the end of a 22 oz. bottle. Really enjoyable, although limited in complexity. Well worth seeking out!

A wonderful melding of deep orange and burnished bronze with a roseate glow; a beautiful variation on my favorite beer color. The head is golden light orange, thick and tacky. I'm not surprised to see that it isn't a lace monster, but what ends up on the glass is thick, chunky and soon to be crusty.
While appraising the appearance, I appreciated some wonderful aromas from the glass and couldn't wait to take a big, deep inhale. I'm a little surprised, then, that the nose lacks a certain potency. That isn't to say I don't like it. It smells like caramel, brown sugar and sweet cherries macerated in Cherry Herring. The minimal alcohol presence might have something to do with the fact that it's two years old. That might also explain the relative lack of hoppiness. Man, I gotta start drinking my barleywines fresh.
Old Guardian sure doesn't lack potency on the palate. A bud busting amount of flavor mirrors the aroma (multiplied by three). As anticipated, this '03 is a gentle giant with flavors that have grown comfortable with one another over time. Sweet caramel melts into candied orange peel melts into brown sugar melts into candied cherries... and it all makes my mouth very happy indeed. For some reason, OG tastes like Christmas to me.
The pungent, bitter hoppiness that must have been present immediately after bottling is long gone, but I can still appreciate the fruitier aspects of the Warrior hops. The beer is incredibly well-balanced at this point in time, which makes me think that it was a true hop warrior in its infancy. No matter, I love every bit of the controlled explosion that takes place in my mouth as I sip and savor.
I had no doubt that a Stone-brewed barleywine would have a world-class mouthfeel. This one is nigh on perfect. It's polished, smooth and heavily, chewily silky. The finish lingers long enough for me to continue to marvel at the seamlessness and the complementary nature of the various flavors. This is truly a beer over which to ponder life's mysteries. On second thought, I'm having a good enough time trying to unlock Old Guardian's mysteries.
I'll need to check to be sure, but I feel safe in saying that OG '03 is my favorite barleywine to date. I might have liked it better when the Warrior hops were on the warpath, but then again I might not have. This is yet another example of the skill and dedication that Stone brings to the brewing of outstanding beer for lovers of outstanding beer. Now pardon me while I relish every last drop of this remarkable ale.

Vintage Winter 2003 Release:
The beer after its extrication from the 22-ounce brown bottle sets in the glass a deep burnished copper color on the pour with the head pythonic in size and the texture frothy and a toothsome light tan in color and after its demise the lace forms a thick and sticky sheet to smother the glass. Big sweet malt nose rich in fusel alcohol, caramel and hints of the hop flower, a real treat for the schnozzle. Start is ambrosial, loaded with malt and the top peanut butter thick, and the finish spiteful in its carbonation, the hops prickly in their spicy bite. The aftertaste dry as a bleached desert bone, oh yes, almost forgot the alcohol, quite evident in its bitterness and tummy warming. Ah another great year of Old Guardian got a case aging away, but the chances of it lasting more than a year slight.

Appearance - poured into a Belgian glass, it looks like a dull red, with some purple hues to darken things. Held up to light it shows more of an orange cast. Minimal head, I 'bounced' the last ounce or two in and worked up a half-finger or so. It held for a minute maybe before falling back to an incomplete cover. A splotch of lace here or there.
Aroma - very sweet, pineapple upside-down cake aroma. Could be seriously sweet, boozy, or both.
Taste - make that 'both'. Large sweetness right away, alcohol hitting mid-palate. Whew, that's some hooch. Following the swallow is the signature Stone hop assault on your tastebuds, this year by the aptly named Warrior hop variety. Grapefruit all the way. The sweetness never leaves, the alcohol backs off a tad at the end, but with the hop effect, all three combine for a great finish with some notable length.
Mouthfeel - I know it's a barleywine, but you better open your mouth - this stuff is so thick that attempting a small sip will be like trying to suck peanut butter through a straw! The feel is practically sliceable. Tongue-paint, how 'bout that? It's as thick a barleywine as I've had. I think it's how they all should be.
Drinkability - a fantastic sipper. The thickness slows you down, the flavor is on steroids. It's like beer concentrate.

The beer poured into the glass crystal clear medium amber with a frothy head that emerged slowly and continued to rise to eventually overtop the glass. The head fell just as slowly and left a coating on the way down.
The aroma was deeply malty with a nice bready/biscuit impression and a muted citrus fruitiness and a deep caramel. The aroma had no apparent alcohol.
The flavor was very nice with a strong bready/biscuit component that complemented the smooth maltiness and dark caramel. The malt was well balanced by the hops, but the hop bittering never became overbearing creating an interesting and complex malt/hop character that is well done. The flavor had a slight fruitiness and no apparent alcohol.
The finish was just dry with lasting pleasant bittering lasting long into the aftertaste. The body was full and viscous and even creamy. The only indicator of the alcohol was in the warming effects after consumption. This one was a bit deceptive in that department which led to a very nice complexity.
22 ounce bottle. Winter 03 Release. I'm not sure I have ever seen a barleywine with that much head retention.

Appearance and Presentation 22 oz bottle from Martys bought a few months ago. Poured into my snifter it is a deep brown/red with a 1 finger creamy off-white head with some bigger sudsy bubbles on top. In addition there is decent lacing, but retention that only lasts a few minutes.
Smell Moderate alcohol with sweet toasted malts and some vinous character.
Taste Remarkably smooth, age has treated this well. All that remains of the hops is a moderate bitterness that is overshadowed by the big complex malts. The malt is toasted, roasted and a bit smoky with hints of chocolate, very nice. Added complexity comes from dark fruit flavors, raisons and plums. Terrific balanced its a flavor that I really enjoy. Alcohol is almost non-existent in the flavor.
Mouthfeel The mouthfeel is thick and syrupy with light carbonation, just what a big barleywine should be.
Drinkability and Notes Guardian 2003 has great drinkability for such a big beer. This is an excellent Barleywine at this stage of aging and I need to get back over to Martys to get more of this while it lasts.

Crystal clear deep ruby hue. Covered by an ivory white, dense one fingered head that leaves Belgian lace. The aroma is comprised of dominant toffee and biscuit sweetness, with subtle figgy fruitiness and butterscotch. As the beer warms, the nose dries, and a powered cocoa note surfaces along with hints of roasted malt. Mellow, citrus laced floral hop nose is surprisingly well integrated in aroma. Nostril singeing ethanol and higher alcohols are perceptible with a deep inhalation. Rich, buttery, carob sweetness is perceived at first in flavor. It is then quickly tamed by well calculated hop bitterness that provides balance, but doesn't overshadow malt character. Ripe, red currant like fruitiness mid palate couples with mild peppery ethanol to lend a red licorice impression mid palate. Caramel malt is pronounced, yet not at all overbearing. As the palate becomes saturated and the carbonation diminishes, Old Guardian becomes progressively more creamy and buttery (not diacetyl) yet hop character is retained, thus superb balanced is eventually reached. Full bodied with the ideal attenuation facilitating a smooth, thick, but not cloying mouthfeel. As in the aroma, hop character is well integrated, with the floral hop flavor complementing the malt sweetness, lending a rose like suggestion late. Finishes long, warm and complex, with a lingering impression of biscuit, pepper and bourbon. Old Guardian 2003 is an outstanding barleywine. The balance is striking, especially for a Stone brew. With a year or two of cellaring to tame the ethanol presence, this could become world class. It's already delicious in its current state. Superb.

I bought a few of these as soon as I saw them show up in the local liquor store. This is my "early" tasting of the beer, and while it hasn't aged to peak condition yet, it's still pretty damn good. Autumn leave amber in color, with a thickish, off-white head and a good lace down the glass. Malty aroma with citric hops and a bit of alcohol present as well. The taste starts off surprisingly sweet -- do I detect a bit of bubblegum-like candi sugar up front? Lightly caramely, with a bit of banana-like fruit mid-palate. The alcohol is virtually undetectable, though it lends a certain peppery flavor toward the end. Typical generous Stone hops at the end contribute enough citric flavors and bitterness to balance the sweetness of the beer, and lends a tingly finish to an otherwise viscous, chewy, full-bodied beer. A lovely beer -- can't wait to see how it develops.

2003 Edition:
Well, I finally laid my hands on some Stone Barleywine. Thanks to the brewmasters old connection to Columbus, it is one west coast beer we can count on getting. This beer poured a dark amber color and formed a nice light tan bubbly head that disipated quickly and left some circular lace. A small amount of carbonation is present. An aroma of malt, caramel and spice. A flavor of malt and caramel. The finish was a touch astrigent. May need to have this a little warmer, but I couldn't wait to try it.

Appearance Extremely thick and cloudy orange-brown in color with a monster head that would not go away. Finally it settled down to a deep film on the body, but this was relentless. The lacing on my glass was beautiful.
Smell Big, giant hops lead the way for this Barley Wine. The sherry base is present as well, but this one is all about the hop compliment.
Taste The sherry and hop mixture is amazing. There are also some nice fruity flavors in here such as big cherry, orange, and cranberry, but the quality hops and oak-aged sherry flavors stand out.
Mouthfeel Dry, dead flat, and extremely refreshing. This is a full-bodied ale that quenches the thirst. There is absolutely no indication of alcohol whatsoever.
Drinkability They serve this on tap at the beer store that I frequent. I usually suck down a pint while Im buying some pints. Awesome!

Winter 2003 Release: This is a top-notch Barley Wine. Pours a ruddy dark orange color with a medium light beige head. Aroma is really nice, with sweet malt and a lot of caramel. Less alcohol in the aroma than in most Barley Wines I recall trying. Rich flavors of malt, caramel and hops that come out of nowhere. Finish is nice and tangy. One of the best Barley Wines out there.

-Hops: Warrior
Old Guardian starts with a beautiful, very clear reddish-mahogany body topped by a thinnish barleywine looking head that managed to stick around longer and lace better than the first impression suggested it might. The initial nose is unexpectedly dominated by a bready malt character more in league with Bells Third Coast Ale or Brooklyns Black Chocolate Stout than a West Coast barleywine. I expected a beer that could easily be confused for a Double IPA, but Guardian is at least as malty as it is hoppy. It helps (me at least) that the malty nose is the kind of nose that comes typically from the use of wheat malt, Belgian aromatic malt, or one of those other exceptional, pleasantly-pungent smelling malts. In addition to that addictive bread aroma, a good dose of those Warrior hops is evident, as well as a hot flash of peppery alcohol.
The ultra viscous body is the first impression of this beer in my mouth. I couldnt even concentrate on the flavor at first because I was so overwhelmed by the thickness of the bodyit feels like lightly carbonated mineral oil: so thick and slippery After my brain forced that other part of my brain to begin cognitive analysis on the actual flavor of the beer, I was able to very quickly ascertain that the malt flavor was not contradictory to the malt aroma: doughy bread with slightly caramelized frosting? Perhaps Im reaching a bit Then come the hopsthe flavor I anticipated all along. Interesting that they play 3rd fiddle to the maltiness and the mouthfeel Those resinous cones team up with the roasted malts (crystal maybeIve tasted this before) to create a touch of harshness that lingers in the corner of my mouth. Thats the flavor that I expected to dominate this brew. I was thinking that Guardian would be more like SN Bigfoot than Old Horizontal. In reality, it was right in the middle, with Stones very English (IMO) house yeast providing the slight diacetyl-ish creaminess to the body that sets their Pale Ale apart. I guess Im assuming they use the same yeast for both brews.
All in all, this was a great beer and one that was way more balanced than I anticipated. The aromatics of the maltiness were a real treat and the super-thick, oily texture was refreshingly different and quite enjoyable. Im glad that I bought multiple bottles of this one :)

Another classic southwestern barleywine, from one of the classic southwestern breweries. Stone! This beer poured a beautiful dark red colour with a small, whispy yet creamy head. The aromas were big on malts, hops, and alcohol. The taste, very warming, alcoholic, fruity, hoppy, malty, and wonderful. This beer had a very thick mouthfeel but it was still amazingly easy to drink. This was a very well balanced and restrained beer from Stone Brewing.

Crimson hued. Bloody and angry-looking beneath its gaudy beige helmet.
And deservingly so.
Nose is bombarded with dried, smoked cherries, sherry, and more torched fruit. Caramelized mangoes drenched in vaporous pine syrup. Burnt raisins. Oh my! For as much hype as Stone gets from their hops, I gotta say that the malt loads of their brews are every bit as impressive.
A double-edged assault, indeed.
Raids the mouth. Loots and pillages and rapes. Like ten thousand vikings, drunken and horny. Touting massive caramel swords, swinging brandy-dripping battle axes and lighting huge fruit bonfires. Tossing orange rinds, pineapples, mangoes, raisins, and plums into the ceremonial inferno. An inebriated cry goes up around the the stack of smoldering fruit, as its molten discharge of raspberry- and currant-syrup floods the recently conquered streets. The brawn is flaunted unshakably. Cocky as hell. Boasting tanginess, burned fruit and substancial hop wrath; Who's going to stand in its path?
Give up your lands now, and avoid the ensuing carnage. The savage victory is laden with sprucey hop sludge. Warrior indeed!! No analysis is needed. The rubble Old Guardian produces is testiment enough. Another war cry goes up towards Valhalla, as the cognac-infused, sherry alcohol vapors dance above the flames.
The strike is thick and all-consuming. Little time for the reprieve carbonation provides. A blanketing conquest. Unrelenting in its coating invasion.
No time to prepare, or make plans of escape.
Its over now.
Best not to fight, as your casualties are mounting.
Give up, stop resisting, and accept your domination.
Hope there was sufficient time to hide your women and children.

I can't believe this cheap shot from Tyler Hansbrough had no repercussions. As Jonas Valanciunas prepares to fight for rebounding position against Hansbrough, Valanciunas initiates contact. I guess Hansbrough took offense to such contact and proceed to simply throw the Raptors center to the hardwood. He put his right hand under Valanciunas' armpit and pushes him to the ground.
Amazingly, play continued and no foul was called. Valanciunas hurt his hand on the play and was forced to leave, but would return later with it wrapped. Valanciunas has injured the same hand in December and missed time as it healed before coming back.
One wonders if the league will review this and dish out a suspension or fine to Hansbrough for his egregious contact. Dangerous for no reason, this play at the least deserved some kind of penalty for that kind of unnecessary physicality.
Certainly there must be better ways for Hansbrough to tell people "Watch your hands, bro."
Ha ha, tip your servers and try the veal.
