Poured into a snifter. No fresh/expiration dates.
Pours a nealry black dark brown body under a compact finger of head that falls slowly.
Certainly smells more English in style, with peaty light smoke over frothy chocolaty malts. Little to no hops to speak of.
The flavor takes this in a new direction. The smoke and chocolate are minor in comparison to the fruity dark malts and coffee flavors. This is almost going baltic in profile. The dark fruit and coffee are quite dry, and accented nicely by a touch of smoke. This lands somewhere near Irish dry stout, English porter, and Baltic porter. at points it almost seems like this is dark chocolate with cherry. Quite nice.
The mouthfeel is full at first by surprisingly dry, with just a touch of acididy. This very well may be like the real original English porters.
Conclusion: Amazingly true to style. Well done Mad River! This is the first of their beers than I have tried, and I wasn't expecting something this good.

Review from BeerAdvocate magazine Vol. II Issue VII:
Scotch Porter? Yeah, that's what you get when you blend an English Porter (dark and robust) with a Scotch Ale (sweet and caramelly), and then decide to add some Scottish peated malt (intensely smoky) and German rauch malt (smooth and smoky) to further confuse palates around the world. That said, some of the most confused beers tend to be the tastiest.
Pours a dark, rich, opaque brown with a brief cascading carbonation effect that produces a thick, creamy, beige head, which sticks to the glass and retains a healthy looking lace. Brown breads, freshly malted milk, and a soft smoky and roasty malt aroma. Full, even, thick body with a smooth mouthfeel and prickly carbonation around the edges that helps lifts things a bit. Sweet upfront--not overwhelming though--with caramel candy, carob and buttered brown bread. A bit robust and roasty, with some mild coffee notes too. Throughout the experience there's a slight tangy smoke character, hint of char and a smoothed out peat that's laid down on the foundation. Hop character is moderate, with some spice, leaf, and slight citric snap that rides off the carbonation. Finishes with a semi-bourbonesque quality (less the heat), followed by dry lingering grain, carob and a soft peat linger.
Last time we tried this beer was back in 2003. Although things seem to have been refined, that's not necessarily a bad thing, as the beer remains unique, complex and fun on the taste buds. If you're a fan of Porters, Scotch Ales, bourbons, or any combo of the three ... you need to buy and try this beer.

12oz short brown bottle. No freshness date.
Hmm ... a "Scotch Porter." Let's see what we've got here:
A meaty looking beer. Brown, but it's so dark it's nearly black, topped with a creamy coffee coloured head with unfiltered chunks dancing beneath it. A sticky and awesome level of head retention this beer has. Citric, smokey, woody with aromas of freshly milled malt.
Hell yeah! Big, smooth, chewy, malty mouthfeel. Initial flavours range from coffee, caramel, toffee, molasses, distinct and standout-ish peat/smoke character, plenty of dry chocolate, wood, earth and notes of black currant and purple grapes. This complex burst on the palate is immediately followed by a bitter splash of sharp citrus, a moderate amount of hop spice, salt, leaf flavours and notes of grass that cut through the hearty malts, providing balance and all of that stuff. Smoke remains after the hop fire, and lingers into, through and after the finish with notes of grain that dry the palate to the bone. Smoke gets amplified as the beer warms.
Boo-yah! I'd rename this beer to "Smoked Porter," but that's just me. Regardless, this is a very interesting beer, and I like their approach at brewing a more traditional Porter (whatever that means these days). Oddly complex. Tasty. Intriguing. I want more.

12 oz. bottle poured into a New Belgium snifter
A - Deep, dark brown and solidly opaque, with a one-finger head of khaki tan brown, tight foam that quickly becomes a thin haze on the surface that lingers during the entire glass. Held to a strong, natural light, the edges of the bottom of the glass display just a trace of deep ruby red.
S - 50% dark chocolate, dark caramel, roasted malts, cocoa with a few marshmallows, all softly wrapped in a soft peaty envelope.
T - Dark chocolate/thick dark caramel with hints of smoke woven throughout. Moderately-burnt toast. Like a dark semi-sweet chocolate Dove bar with chocolate caramel ice cream. What hops are present are very much in the background and there to balance the chocolate, not compete with it.
M - Fundamental creaminess includes enough carbonation to cut through and clean the palate. On the thin side, in the traditional English porter style, but definitely not watery. Good, balanced structure. Not much of finish, although chocolates linger.
O - A bit of smokiness, dark caramels, and some bass in the chocolate dress up the standard English porter quite nicely. No confusing this with a stout, it's been pulled in a different direction. Probably a bit too focused on the chocolate to drink several, but it would pair exceptionally well with anything complemented by chocolate, such as vanilla ice cream or raspberries. Requires a fuller cigar with a dark but mellow wrapper. It should be noted that the "Scotch" has been dropped from the label, but "Porter" is printed on a tartan background. Recommended for non-hop-heads looking for more from a porter but not the burnt bitterness of a stout.

4.43/5 rDev +13%
Presentation: 12 oz short brown twist bottle with no freshness date to be found. Thin layer of sediment on the bottom of the bottle.
Appearance: Very black with ruby trim, a wonderful tan varied bubbly sized lace that leaves a dusting trail even to the finish.
Smell: Mix of roasted malts, subtle hop and a mild charcoal like smokiness in the aroma. Peated malt and crystal malt give a smoked caramel impression.
Taste: Fullish body of a semi chewy malt mouth feel, kicks quick into the robust roasted grain flavour of espresso and mildly smoky charcoal (earthy). Hints of peat smoked malt enhance the roasted character, hops are a touch oily with a restrained yet pungent bitterness that somewhat hide behind the malt. As the beer warms up to cellar temperature the sweet alcohol mingles and gives a ghost impression of licorice and evergreen. Caramel hits middle to finish though the slightly astringent roasted flavour is still dominant throughout the beer.
Notes: Huge and brave, not for the faint of heart. This is a porter that wants respect and gains more character as it reaches cellar temperature. Makes for a most excellent night cap. 6.43% abv.

Pours a dark chestnut body with a small tan head. Good retention and some patchy lacing on the glass. Aroma of milk chocolate and a hint of smoke. Medium body with subdued medium carbonation. Taste is chocolate malt, hints of burnt coffee, vanilla, and a note of fruity hops. No smokiness in the flavor. A decent American porter.

12 ouncer, no freshness info. Pours dark mahogany, minor and short lived medium tan head and next to no lace. I got just a hint of chocolate and dark grains in the nose. Low carbonation levels, creates a nice soft feeling in the mouth, with notes of more chocolate, light scotch, without much else. Pleasant enough, but nothing special going on here.

Well, I'm not sure what a dark porter beer has to do with fishing for Steelhead, but if we can get past that, we're in good shape.
Pouring from a 12 oz. bottle into a Sam Perfect Pint glass.
Dark. Really Dark. Bag over your head in the trunk of a cadillac dark. Almost pure blackness, but you can catch a tiny glimpse of light coming through at the bottom. Poured a thick creamy looking head that retreated quickly to a thin lacy white residue.
Smells like a mix of day-old coffee some type of of dark chocolate bar.
This is a very high quality porter. Starts off with a chocolately toffee sweetness, that balances well and finishes with a slight bourbon-like bitterness. Definitely could warm you up, or get you through a chilly tailgating day. Tastes a lot stronger than 6% abv, but isn't that the beauty of a good porter?
Muthfeel is almost on the level with a glass of whole milk. Very nice.
Not sure how many I could put away, almost like a Guinness or another heavy stout, but it is very tasty and inviting for a porter. One of my new favorites, and I can't wait have one outside in the snow while I am waiting for kickoff.
Or, perfect when you've just come in from the cold.

2.68/5 rDev -31.6%
Appearance: 1/4 inch head, dark brown in color, cloudy, sediment
Smell: peat, toasted malt, alcohol, and chocolate
Taste: peat, toasted malt, alcohol, chocolate, and a small bit of coffee
Mouthfeel: low carbonation, moderate body, semi-sweet
Drinkability: Not a favorite. It seems as though the alcohol really overpowers the good malty taste. This seems like two different beers and the flavors do not combine. I will pass in the future.

Mad River Steelhead Porter served from a bottle with no freshness date on it. I did notice a high amount of residual yeast and musty things in each bottle. Here we have a decent porter with a flair for scotchy smokiness. In between sips, I noticed a long lasting smoke taste in my mouth as if I had been smoking a nice cigar or drinking an Islay scotch. At 6.5% alcohol with medium body, this beer isn't going to overwhelm or inspire you, but to me it's an above average beer of a niche style. Once again, the beer is mild for something called a 'scotch porter' which might scare away most casual beer drinkers. This is a beer that critical drinkers will appreciate and adventurous laypeople will like too. Malty with well balanced molasses and smoke. Overall, an average porter with some additional intrigue and smoke flavor make this beer something to check out.

Pours the usual black with a small but worthy cafe colored head. Moderate lacing. Smells quite milk chocolatety with a bit of the old coffee bean too. Super malty strong. Nice burnt malt acid wash followed by all the desireable porter flavors. Coffee, chocolate, licorice, and raisin. Slightly acidic hopped and burnt ending makes me want more. Full bodied and very drinkable. Worthy of a try.

Love Mad River brews, but this isn't one of my faves of theirs. Brown scotch ale poured out, good head. Couldn't really tell you the difference between a porter and this scotch ale, they really looked similar here. All I know, is I usually like porters more than scotch ales, usually because of the different malts used, the lack of peat and better hopping.
The alcohol is hidden better by the usual, stronger malt profile in a porter. Probably hopped more than most scotch ales I've had, save McEwans, this one is easier to drink than McEwans, but not as good.
This is a beer to have once in a great while, but I just can't see drinking a 6er of this in a night. Its not a bad beer, its just my least favorite of anything they make.

4.1/5 rDev +4.6%
Appearance has ruby highlights when held to the light but normal presentation is dark cola brownish black, forms a large tan head leaving behind scattered strands of thin lacing. Aroma has upfront smoked peated malt with other specialty roasty malts bringing out some chocolate and toffee sweetness, a touch of anise seed while the finish contains herbal hops that are not as aggressive as some west coast hopped porters. Flavor contains creamy dark chocolate waves with a balancing flow of grassy herbal hops coming through touch of roasted marshmellow and English toffee candy the subtle smokey nutty edge causes a dryness after each sip. Mouthfeel is velvety smooth creamy texture flows on the palate yet the body is medium rather than other more robust porters carbonation level is dead on really even not too much or not enough. Drinkability is great a wonderful complex variation of the American porter that is so interesting and flavorful will definitely keep you hunched over with your nose in the glass, good beer here.

12 oz undated bottle served in a Unibroue snifter.
Pours a hazy, dark brown; semi-opaque. Although the bottle was emptied, considerable sediment remained stuck on the bottom of the bottle. The small tan head is short lived but leaves spotty lacing.
A: Quite pleasant, if unusual for style, with hints of sweet caramel and red wine. Roasted malt aroma is surprisingly faint, even after warming.
T: The flavor is a bit sweet up front, but this changes to a nicely balanced mix of sweet and bitter. Nice complex and dynamic mix of malts, with hints of toffee and dried plums. Rich dark malt dominates the slightly smokey finish and aftertaste. Approaching 4.25
M: Medium+ body; smooth; well chosen medium level of carbonation; some dryness in the finish.
O: "Scotch Porter" indeed, this is about mid-way between a Scotch Ale and a porter. In any case, fine flavor and easy to recommend.
Review slightly revised after further sampling in June & Sept. 2012; May 2013.

Mad River- Porter
A- Deep dark brown with a huge thick foamy head. Good chunky lacing.
S- Light roasted coffee beans with sweet fruity malt and cocoa.
T- A nice mocha latte meets fruity malt blend. Sweet cherry and plum like fruit flavors mingle nicely with a fresh green hop presence.
M- Sweet, malty and dry with a big malty ody and hoppy finish that starts bitter but has a thick sweet malty crescendo.
Overall- Quite nice. Sweet hoppy porter here. Definitely pick this 1 up, very enjoyable.

Hard to see through brown crimson color under an attractive creamy light woody brown tinted head. Lace is wet, but sticky. The aroma is real yummy and hits my nose just right. Dark and devious with a good amount of luscious malty character. Toasty and roasty nuts, sweet caramel, soothing earthy hops. Nice well malted mix. Mouthfeel is smooth, airy and velvety. Thick medium body and roasty bittersweet finish. Very drinkable too.
Not bad...quite good.

Pours a deep rootbeer color with a bubbly head with little head retention. A slight bit cloudy, probably due to the visible yeast floating about.
Deep roasted malts, coffee, bourbon and chocolate on the nose
Flavors include deep roasted malt, smokey scotch flavors come through quite a bit, roasted coffee
Very similar to any other scotch porter I've had so it obviously fits the style. I don't see myself drinking 4 or 5 of these in a sitting. But it definitely has good roasted and smokey flavors that are pretty well balanced with scotch draw. Not incredibly complex, but I've yet to have a scotch porter that strays too far from the standard guidelines of the style. No bitterness really. Nice smokey aftertaste. Would be great with a cigar.

Appearance - Pours a deep cola brown color with a tan, finger width head. Fair retention, leaving a thin layer of microbubbles covering the surface. Lots of yeast sediment floating around. Leaves thin rings and spots of lace around the glass.
Smell - A healthy amount of deep chocolate overtones make up the bulk of the aroma, while lesser notes of coffee and earth play it up nicely.
Taste - Doesn't quite live up to the strength of the nose, but still kicks with great flavor and balance. Milk chocolate upfront, followed by a light coffee bitterness before giving way to a moderate, perfect amount of peat smoke character on the back-end. Touches of caramel in the aftertaste. This is really, really good.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with moderate, somewhat lively carbonation. Goes down smooth; slightly silky.
Overall - Quality brew. Good flavor; incredibly smooth and drinkable. Dare I say, sessionable? Incidentally, I had a slice of chocolate topped cheesecake toward the end of my drink, and the pairing was nothing short of heaven. Wish I'da paired them together a lot sooner. For those that think the Stone and Alaskan Smoked Porters are too smokey, give this one a go. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Acts Project provides international internship opportunities
November 04, 2010
Read the stories from Acts Project 2010:
Europe» Asia» Africa»
Program director Danielle Rebman explained that "internships help students explore their passions, gifts, and vocations while they serve cross-culturally in a missions context. The program this past spring and summer was very successful, and we're excited about the plans for Acts Project 2011."
"We anticipate that 15-20 students will make up this spring's Missions 420 class that will include an overview of missions history, theology, and current trends. Students will also get a vision for what's happening around the globe through field trips to a missions agency and a nationwide prayer gathering."
In May, the field component will begin as students depart for overseas placements in Europe, Africa, and Asia. The internships will end in August with a group debrief near Venice, Italy.
"This year," Rebman explained, "we are adding new ventures in arts and communications internships around the Mediterranean region. We are also incorporating a new partnership with the Education department. Throughout the summer, several staff and faculty connected to the missions class will visit interns and deepen partnerships."
Junior Sarah Becker, who participated in Acts Project 2010, wrote these three stories that provide a glimpse into the experiences she and her classmates had this past summer:

Los Angeles is notorious for its nightmarish traffic. And now comes word (surprise, surprise) L.A. also has the most horrendous roads of any other big city in the nation. How bad is it? Bad. Really, really bad. And incredibly costly. More on that in a bit. According to the Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit group TRIP, the greater L.A. area has the most deteriorated streets in the country, with a full fourth of the region's roads getting a grade of "F." Overall, our streets barely earn a "C" minus. Certainly nothing to brag about.
The potpourri of potholes, cracks, crevices and craters marring the L.A. area landscape are costing commuters tens of millions of dollars in repairs to their vehicles. It's estimated the average driver spends $832 a year fixing this or that on their cars and trucks, courtesy of our increasingly infamous infrastructure. The result of decades of neglect.
But how does a city facing a deliriously daunting deficit come up with the $3.5 billion needed to smooth over all the rough pavement? City officials seem to think the answer lies in making yet another trip to the public trough. They're hoping voters will feel generous enough to pass a big bond measure on the ballot. But times are tough. Getting two-thirds of the local electorate to dig that deeply into their pockets won't be easy.
To be fair, road repair is not just an L.A. problem. Nationally, more than a quarter of major highways and streets are in poor condition, according to the federal government. These roadways handle about 78% or two trillion miles driven every year in urban America. It is a crisis all of us will eventually have to pay for by repaving our roads or in costly car repairs.

One of the heavyweight division's fastest rising stars collides with one of its most established veterans at UFC 166 in the Daniel Cormier vs. Roy Nelson match up. The bout is nestled in the penultimate spot as a lead-in to the Cain Velasquez vs. Junior dos Santos headliner, and one of five on the pay-per-view card.
In addition to their circular-shaped physiques, Daniel Cormier (12-0) and Roy Nelson (19-8) are also two of the most talented and technical grapplers in the heavyweight landscape -- yet their proficiencies lie in contrasting areas and their handiwork on the feet deserves just as much emphasis, if not more.
Despite boasting the pristine accolades of an Olympic wrestler, Cormier has been a virtual wrecking ball with his vicious boxing. "Big Country" fits the same mold -- he's one of the most technically adept submission grapplers in the game but handles the bulk of his business with a fear-inspiring right hand, which has garnered the 37-year-old vet 12 victories by KO/TKO in 19 turns.
Even before Nelson deemed his preparation for this fight as "the crappiest camp I've ever had," the general consensus is that Cormier would be a nightmare match up. And for good reason: in literally every one of Nelson's four UFC defeats, the common ingredients were opponents who could resist his takedowns, anticipate and address his smoldering haymakers and whittle him down on the feet. Furthermore, when contrasting those opponents -- Junior dos Santos, Frank Mir, Fabricio Werdum and Stipe Miocic -- Cormier's striking is arguably better than each one save dos Santos, and it's safe to assume his takedown defense is on entirely different level than all of them due to his prestige as an Olympic wrestler.
Now, of course, if Nelson plants his feet, winds up and connects square with one of his signature loopers, anything with a pulse on the receiving end will not enjoy it. His power can be definitively fight-changing, rendering the recipient to a condition anywhere between dazed and confused to slumbering in a tranquil state of unconsciousness. One could say that the cliche "puncher's chance" applies to any and every party in hand-to-hand combat, but Nelson is amongst the rare few who are not only more capable than average, but admirably adept at landing that one big meatball.
To say that Cormier has a strong sense of balance and a low center of gravity is an understatement. In the past, foes have not only been dramatically unsuccessful when trying to take him down or impose their will, but they've bounced off the burly Goliath as if they were shot out of a cannon while Cormier barely bats an eye. That, in itself, is unique in MMA. Typically, fighters who are damn-near immovable suffer from a mobility standpoint, i.e. they never get tossed around but they're also not very agile. Which leads to the second reason why Cormier is atypical -- he's like a Sherman Tank with a supercharger. He's extremely fleet afoot for any heavyweight, and it's rare to combine such robust strength with such deft movement. And the final tribute as to why Cormier is truly a special fighter is that he's been able to compete and even dominate with striking after spending most of his life on the wrestling mats.
That, my friends, is a one-of-a-kind athlete, and a depressing opponent to gameplan for.
But let's not sell "Big Country" short: he'll be the most durable opponent Cormier's ever faced and he's just as altogether rugged and tough as Josh Barnett, which is saying quite a bit. He also hits substantially harder than any of Cormier's past opponents, and I have the feeling he'll be coming in with the mentality of having nothing to lose. Even though Barnett and Nelson are comparable in terms of experience and overall toughness and savvy, Cormier really hasn't had anybody come at him as hard, as often and as relentlessly as Nelson will. In plain terms, Nelson will look to make this a dogfight, and Cormier's resilience to that type of malicious adversary is untested and, against this caliber of puncher, his chin is somewhat untested as well.
There's no question that the different pathways to victory favor Cormier, and by a large margin. Nelson's chances seem to boil down to landing the home-run blow. If this fight does happen to hit the ground -- whether Nelson can take Cormier down, knock him down or gets taken down -- the submission grappling comparison is all Nelson. However, the bread and butter of Nelson's ground game is a stifling command of position with phenomenal guard passing -- he's not known for an electric guard in MMA, and it doesn't seem likely that he'll end up on top.
My Prediction: Daniel Cormier by dominant decision.

Gateway Theatre
119 Sixth Street,
7 people favorited this theater
The Gateway Theatre was located in downtown Pittsburgh in what is now the city's Cultural District. It was built on the site of the Alvin Theatre of 1891, which had a roof collapse in 1938. It was rebuilt to the plans of architect John Eberson and reopened in 1941 as the J. P. Harris Theatre, named after John P. Harris, who started the world's first nickelodeon in Pittsburgh.
In 1961 the theatre was bought by George and Ernest Stern, whose Associated Theaters chain also included the Fulton Theatre, which was several doors away at 101 Sixth Street. They renamed the theatre the Gateway Theatre. It underwent a remodeling in the Autumn of 1967 and was dark for several weeks.
In 1982 the theatre closed and was remodeled into a health club called the City Club. The club was bought in 1999-2000 by the health club chain Bally's, and it still operates as that today. But the front of the club is easily identifiable as a former movie theatre.

The Google Street views show the auditorium of the Gateway and the side walls look like 1940 vintage so I think it was completely rebuilt at that time. The theatres are really packed together there. If you walk south, you enter the former entrance of the Byham theatre, through the auditorium onto the stage, through the back wall, audiences at the Gateway would see you enter their venue from the left and continue through the right and then you'd end up entering the O'Reilly Theatre through the backstage wall,, up the auditorium aisle, out through the lobby, across the street and then the audience at Heinz Hall would see you walk through the right wall of the auditorium!
Mr. Harley is the curator of the Jimmy Stewart Museum in Indiana PA. In these times any donations to the Museum by those of us on Cinema Treasures would be greatly appreciated I'm sure. Thanks.
Tim Harley is the director of the Jimmy Stewart Museum. He does have a 200 seat theater that was donated by Universal that frequently shows Jimmy Stewart Movies the way they were meant to be seen.. Tom Harley is also from Indiana but apparently is no relation.
of course JAWS. We used to stand in the upstairs rehearsal hall of Heinz Hall and see the long, long lines that had snaked around the block onto Penn
A movie and then Zotis, the restaurant with the great Rueben sandwiches next door!
For years, The Gateway was always the theatre in Pittsburgh where the James Bond movies would premiere. I can remember sitting in the balcony the weekend "The Spy who Loved Me" opened in 1977. I remember hearing a story about how Cinemette anticipated huge business for the first Roger Moore 007 movie "Live and Let Die" in 1973. They booked the movie at both the Gateway AND the Fulton. However, they only had one print of the movie. The spaced the start times about a half hour apart. This was long enough so that the ushers could run reels between the two theatres. Keep in mind the projection booths were at the top of each balcony, and the trip was a long one from booth to booth. The ushers had to be relieved when the business died down after the first couple of weeks, and the feature was just shown at the Gateway.
The August 30, 1934, issue of The Pittsburgh Press printed a special five-page section devoted to the newly remodeled Harris Alvin Theatre. A scan at Google News begins at this link.
I can remember seeing a "sneak preview" of "The Time Machine," in 1960, at what was then called the J.P.Harris Theatre, along with the main scheduled feature, "Let's Make Love," which starred Marilyn Monroe, and which I thought was too dull for words. I was 11. But I loved "Time Machine" and still do! I seem to remember other films there, too, like "Journey to the Center of the Earth," and "The Mysterious Island," which usually appeared around the holidays.

Regarding this paragraph in my comment of December 5, 2010:
"An advertisement for Philadelphia building contractors R.C. Ballinger & Co. in a 1907 edition of Sweet's Catalog of Building Construction listed the Alvin Theatre among the projects the company had built, and said that the house was designed by an Indianapolis architectural firm called Reed Brothers. I've been unable to find any other references to that firm on the Internet."I don't know why I didn't think of this before, but "Reed Brothers" might have been an error by whoever put together the ad in Sweet's Catalog. Before establishing their practice in San Francisco, that city's noted theater architects James and Merritt Reid had operated an office in Evansville, Indiana, along with their younger brother Watson Reid. The Evansville office was sold in 1891, the same year the Alvin Theatre was built. The Reids then moved to California, though Watson eventually returned to their native Canada to practice architecture there.
This is probably not enough information to establish that San Francisco's Reid Brothers designed the Alvin Theatre, but, if the Sweet's ad got both the name and the city wrong, it opens the tantalizing possibility that they did. It would be interesting if their first theater design turned out to have been in Pittsburgh, and not in that other hill town where they became famous.

Hammerheart is an album with an epic sound to it. Some would classify it as Folk- or Viking-Metal. Quorthon's voice is kind of a cross between screaming and singing; possibly wailing at some points. Although "Blood, Fire, Death" is considered by many to be the first "Viking Metal" album, I feel that "Hammerheart" is the first FULL album that is Viking Metal. "Blood, Fire, Death" is mostly speed metal with a Viking theme. If you crave an epic folk metal sound, then this album is for you!
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
Make no mistake, Bathory's HAMMERHEART is one of the best metal recordings EVER! When I first heard HAMMERHEART it utterly blew me away. I bought a copy for a friend and didn't see him again for four months; he said he listened to it EVERY DAY of those four months — it's that good! This recording is simply the quintessential realization of metal's potential.
Bathory is, for the most part, a one-man "band" masterminded by 'Quorthon', a pseudonym for Ace Thomas Forsberg of Sweden. Forsberg released a total of 12 legitimate Bathory albums and a handful of Bathory compilations (as well as two hard rock recodings under the name 'Quorthon'). The music on these recordings ranges from black/speed/punk metal to epic/moody/doom/power metal, obviously depending upon Forsberg's mood. HAMMERHEART is definitely his magnum opus. Please DO NOT judge this album by his other works like the first two satanic/horror/speed platters or the one-dimensional OCTAGON (which was Slayeresque but with lousy production and non-memorable ditties). Trust me, HAMMERHEART stands alone.
The songlist includes:
(1.) "Shores in Flames," a blow-by-blow account of a savage Viking village-raid.
(2.) "Vahalla" which shares the basics of Norse mythology in an epic way.
(3.) "Baptised in Fire and Ice" which features fitting punkish-styled verse vocals and a brilliantly implemented low-tuned bridge.
(4.) "Father to Son" which starts out calm enough until a startling and crushing start/stop riff speedily kicks in.
(5.) "Song to Hall Up High," the debut Bathory ballad; Quorthon can't really sing, of course, but all his vocals strangely fit the music, passionately and naturally.
(6.) "Home of Once Brave" an emotional slow-paced juggernaut marred only be Forsberg's inexplicable rip-off at the end of the closing riff for "For Whom the Bell Tolls" (still, I admit, it totally fits!).
(7.) lastly, there's the hallowed "One Rode to Asa Bay" a potent historical relating of how Christianity was introduced to the Viking culture, which was the death-knell of fantastical Norse religion.
"One Rode to Asa Bay" is a long but simple song; it's also one of my favorite metal pieces, a masterpiece, in fact. It stands up there with the very best metal songs you can possibly cite (e.g. "Hallowed Be Thy Name," "A Dangerous Meeting," "Crown of Sympathy," "The Cry of Mankind," "A Celebration for the Death of Man/In the Shadow of Our Pale Companion," "Wings of Time," "Beyond the Realms of Death," etc.).
The production isn't the greatest; in fact, it was literally recorded in a garage in suburban Stockholm (the so-called "Heaven's Shore Studio" — yeah, right); but it in no way mars this work of genius.
I strongly encourage fans of all styles of metal to add HAMMERHEART to your listening arsenal, unless of course you only prefer bands like Poison and Warrant (giggle).
Personally, I won't even take calls from supposed metal fans who don't own HAMMERHEART and hold it dear.
the only music i`ve heard where i`m transported to earlier times ,preparing a dragon ship ,crashing over cold waves, distant lands on the horizon. This has an atmosphere all to itself,cold,haunting, melodic,passionate.Thankyou Quorthon , you,ve gave me something special…
.. When the wind cries out my name
And time has come for me to die
Then wrap me in my cape
And lay my sword down at my side …

PHOENIX (AP) - Student groups won't be able to use student fees collected by universities to support political causes under a bill passed by the Arizona House.
The bill by Republican Rep. John Kavanagh was prompted by an Arizona State University students' group that supported Proposition 204 in November. The proposition would have extended a temporary 1 cent sales tax and directed the money to education. The Arizona Students' Association spent $122,000 to support the proposition.
Kavanagh contends it's wrong for student fees to be used for politics. Democrats argued that's always been the groups' mission.
The bill passed Monday on a 35-24 party-line vote.
The Arizona Board of Regents made the $2 fee student voluntary after complaints from some students. The student group sued, claiming their free speech rights were being infringed.

A Jersey Girl Goes West
October 23, 2009 at 11:59 am , by Jennifer Castoro
I am from New Jersey. (No, I do not have teased hair, a mob connection or a cousin named Vinny.) As a native Jerseyan, I'm much more city chick than country girl. And the only contact I've ever had with a horse was during birthday parties circa grammar school, when all the girly girls would have pony rides in their backyards. So I was super excited to be able to visit Tanque Verde Ranch, in Tucson, Arizona, this past weekend to experience a taste of life as a cowgirl.
As I hopped up on my horse, Katmandu (that's him in the picture), my first thought was, good Lord, I'm high off the ground! That quickly gave way to oh crap, he's moving, followed by please don't turn your giant head and bite me. But I was pleasantly surprised; not only was he (and the other two horses I rode during the weekend) calm and docile, but I quickly got used to the feeling of maneuvering him along the trails at the ranch and getting him to slow down with a little woah and a gentle tug on the reins. He did stop about every 10 feet to scoop some unsuspecting foliage off the ground and chomp on it, but otherwise he was perfectly agreeable.
I also got the chance to do some hiking in the Saguaro National Park (a snapshot is to the left), a breathtaking expanse of giant saguaro cacti, little prickly pear bushes, sweeping mountain views and lots of plants with needles on them. And at night, my fellow travelers and I sat around a roaring campfire, listening to classic western tunes and chomping juicy mesquite barbecue. Delish!
I'm normally a beach-vacation kind of girl, with a little European traveling thrown in for good measure, but I was surprised how much I enjoyed the wild west experience. Perhaps I'm a little bit county…
What's your favorite place to vacation? Have you ever traveled anywhere totally out of your comfort zone?

Maxim's Feminine Hygiene Products
All of Maxim Hygiene's organic feminine hygiene products are hypoallergenic, designed with quiality materials and comfort in mind for today's active woman. Maxim Hygiene's organic products are made for health and environmentally conscious individuals. The cotton used in Maxim Hygiene's Organic Pads, Pantyliners and Tampons is 100% certified organic. Maxim Hygiene's tampons are chlorine and viscose free to reduce the risk of irritation and allergy.
Maxim's Philosophy
The founders of Maxim built the company and developed Maxim products with three main elements in mind – Body, Earth, and Health. They asked themselves, "How can we take these three very basic and essential components of life to their maximum level of efficiency and sustainability?" This question has become Maxim Hygiene's personal mantra in everything they do. Each element alone is strong, but by combining them together in to one product Maxim is meeting their maximum potential.
Body. Each person's body is unique in its composition and form, but every body wants and needs to feel good. Maxim's designs and product materials play a significant role in providing comfort and convenience for life's every day personal care needs.
Earth. The Earth is our source of life and we've only got one. If we don't take care of it we might as well start saying goodbye to it. Maxim likes to try to breathe life in to every aspect of their products; from their Eco-Friendly packaging, to the use of Biodegradable, Synthetic Free, Wood Fluff Pulp Free and Chlorine/Dioxin Free materials, Maxim is always looking for ways to help keep the environment safe.
Health. Health is the most influential element out of all three body, earth and health standards. Body and earth alone are strong components, however having a healthy body and earth is the strongest component in nurturing quality of life.
Why Maxim?
Ever think about the content of your most intimate products?...Maxim did. Feeling itchy or uncomfortable down there?...Maxim can help. Maxim is a softer, safer and natural alternative to standard conventional feminine hygiene products. Maxim products replace harsh chemical ingredients found in your every day products with the beneficial qualities of organic and natural cotton. In doing so, Maxim products address and resolve major health and environmental concerns associated with the use and production of conventional feminine hygiene and cotton products.
The poeple at Maxim are a little particular when it comes to hygiene. So, whether it's that time of the month or any other time of the month, Maxim thinks it's very important that women receive information about what's going in to their bodies, especially the most intimate parts of their bodies. Therefore, Maxim has provided some helpful points below, about Maxim's unique qualities, to help guide your decision making and thoughts on the importance of keeping your most intimate products organic and natural.
Maxim Product Benefits & Features:
Made With 100% Certified Organic & Natural Cotton.
Other Brands: What looks like Cotton in other Feminine Hygiene and Cosmetic Puff Products, is not really 100% Cotton. It is usually a blend of Wood Fluff Pulp and Synthetics, like Rayon/Viscose. These cotton alternatives are not as natural, soft on the body, or environmentally friendly as cotton itself.
Maxim Brand: Maxim's products are made with 100% Certified Organic and Natural Cotton. Maxim is the only 100% Cotton-Based hygiene line on the market. Cotton's natural breathable quality helps prevent the risk of Irritation and makes it Softer on the Body and Better for the Earth. Maxim also uses Organic Cotton, the purest form of cotton. Organic cotton is grown without the use of Pesticides, Fungicides, Herbicides, Sewage Sludge, Irradiation or Genetic Engineering. Instead, Organic Farmers use natural alternative methods and tools that help enhance soil quality and biodiversity and protect the air and water on which we depend. Who wouldn't prefer their most intimate products to be made from only all organic and natural methods?…all while protecting the air and water we depend on!
Chlorine/Dioxine Free.
Other Brands: Use Chlorine to bleach the raw materials contained in standard feminine hygiene products. The purpose of bleaching is to disinfect and whiten the color of these materials. Dioxin is a chemical substance or resulting residue of the Chlorine bleaching process. It can stay within the fluff fibers of the product materials that come in contact with your body, leading to prolonged exposure to this toxic carcinogen (cancer-causing substance).
Maxim Brand: Products are bleached through a safer process which uses Hydrogen-Peroxide, a natural and safe alternative to Chlorine.
Synthetic Free.
Other Brands: Use Synthetics, man made chemically composed versions of natural materials, like cotton. When synthetics come in contact with the body they can create unfavorable conditions leading to allergy, irritation, discomfort, and even that slight discomfort you may have experienced recently with your conventional products.
Maxim Brand: Products are made with 100% Pure Organic and Natural Cotton, leaving no trace of synthetics touching the body. Unlike synthetics, only the natural breathable qualities of 100% cotton can reduce the risk of irritation and make a softer feeling product. Also, cotton's entire product life cycle, being renewable and biodegradable, makes it one of the most environmentally-oriented fibers. Compare that to most synthetic, or chemical fibers, which are petroleum based, either made from nonrenewable resources, or less renewable, like tree-based wood fluff pulp.
Wood Fluff Pulp Free.
Other Brands: Use Wood Fluff Pulp for the absorbent core material in sanitary pads. Wood Fluff Pulp is a tree byproduct. Natural forests are being abused and destroyed in the process of obtaining Wood Fluff Pulp.
Maxim Brand: Maxim sanitary pads' absorbent cores are made of 100% Natural Cotton instead of Wood Fluff Pulp because Cotton is more waste efficient, easily cultivated and its production has less of an overall negative impact on the natural environment. Cotton is a more renewable crop that can be harvested once a year, whereas trees take 6 – 12 years to grow. Also, once the trees are harvested and cut down, they go through a very harsh chemical treatment in order to break them down in to the cotton-like and looking absorbent core you're used to seeing in other pads. Do not be fooled - even though it looks like cotton, it might not actually be cotton.
Hypoallergenic/Irritation Free
Other Brands: Contain Synthetics and other Irritants, such as Fragrances, which are not natural and can cause irritation and discomfort. The plastics, viscose, wood fluff pulp, perfume, super-absorbents and other petro-chemical fillers found in standard feminine hygiene products creates what's called a "heat-dampness micro-climate" in the body, which is an ideal environment for encouraging the growth of bacteria, fungi and other irritation-causing subjects.
Maxim Brand: Maxim uses natural materials, like cotton and eliminates irritable materials, like Synthetics and Fragrances, to make sure all Maxim products are Hypoallergenic and 100% Irritation Free. Some women who experience vaginal irritations on a regular basis, especially around the time of their menstrual cycle, might not be aware that the source of irritation can be coming from the use of conventional products that are made with irritating materials. Women who suffer from vulva-vaginal irritations when using conventional feminine hygiene products, find relief in Maxim products after using them for only a short period of time. Unique to Maxim Only.
Eco-Friendly & User-Friendly Too!
Other Brands: May be meeting your personal needs, but what about the needs of the environment? Plastic and Synthetics found in conventional products are a substantial source of waste clogging up our landfills, especially with the new popularity of plastic applicator tampons. Billions of tampons, applicators and pads end up in landfills every year, taking years to decompose.
Maxim Brand: Products provide the same leak-resistant comfort of other leading tampons and pads, but only Maxim uses the naturally safe characteristics described above. In addition, Maxim tampons are biodegradable, designed to compost quickly and safely - that means less waste! Also, Maxim feminine hygiene products are packed in Recycled or Recyclable Cardboard Packaging, as opposed to plastic poly bags. Just because they're eco-friendly doesn't mean they can't be user-friendly to meet your personal hygiene needs!
Always select the lowest tampon absorbency to meet your needs.
Remember to remove or change your tampon every 4 to 6 hours.
Read and save the enclosed information packet before using.
Tampon Insertion Instructions:
Tampon Removal Instructions:
Tampon Disposal Instructions:
Indication for Use:Maxim tampons are unscented and should only be used for women's personal hygiene with respect to intra vaginal absorption during menstruation or times when experiencing any other vaginal discharge. Changing or using your tampons:
Using Tampons for the first time:Most women need a little practice before they become familiar with using and properly insertion of tampons. Choose a day when you feel relaxed and your menstrual flow is moderate. Be patient and follow these easy step-by-step instructions. Soon you will find your way. How does it feel to wear a tampon? If the tampon has been properly inserted, you should not feel it at all. If you are feeling uncomfortable, it means the tampon has not been inserted deep enough. To feel more comfortable, you can push the tampon further in with your middle finger or remove it and try again with a new tampon. Does it hurt to insert a tampon? You may feel a little uncomfortable when you start inserting a tampon into your body because of the nerves ending at the vaginal opening. Otherwise insertion of a tampon should not be painful. It needs a little patience. If the tampon is in the right place then you shouldn't feel anything. Which absorbency is right to use? Always use tampons with the lowest absorbency to meet your needs. Every box of tampons includes an absorbency chart to help you choose the right product. By using the right absorbencies, you'll get the best combination of protection and comfort.
Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS)Tampons are associated with Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS). TSS is a rare but serious and sometimes fatal disease associated with tampon use. About half of the cases are associated with tampon use and the remainder half occurs in women who are not menstruating, men and children. What are the warning signs? Sudden high fever (usually 38.8C/102F or more), vomiting, diarrhea, fainting or near fainting when standing up, dizziness or a rash that looks like sunburn. Other signs include aching of muscles and joints, redness of the eyes, sore throat and weakness.
TSS can rapidly progress from flu-like symptoms to a serious illness that can be fatal. If you have one or more of these warning signs, immediately remove your tampon and contact your physician. TSS is a treatable disease by early recognition. There is a risk of TSS to all women using tampons during their menstrual period. Scientists believe that TSS requires toxins produced by Staphylococcus aurous, a bacterium that sometimes causes infections.

Public Abstract:
Understanding stem cell regulation holds the potential to treat many diseases. However, some experiments that would aid this understanding cannot be performed with humans due to ethics or practicality. One concern is whether the DNA marks (i.e. epigenetics) regulating stem cells and other genes are stable in cells grown in culture over long term. This is particularly important in that it is clear that cancers are also caused by stem cells. The effects of genetic variation on stem cells are also little known. Studies of house mouse stem cells have partly filled this gap. There are significant differences between house mouse stem and human stem cells. It is not clear whether these are simply species differences, or may partly reflect the artificial genetic make-up of laboratory mouse strains. For example, it is becoming clear that the complete inbreeding of the lab strains has affected their genome, and that the combination of genetic variants seen in these animals does not exist in nature. Further, these animals have been domesticated and selected for traits that do not exist in the wild (analogous to differences between poodles and wolves). Our system is unique in using animals with natural genetic variation. We use the most common Native American mammals, rodents of the genus Peromyscus. While these animals are commonly called deer or field mice, they are only distantly related to house mice and rats. One of many differences is that these animals live over twice as long as house mice. Captive strains derived from actual populations are available. Severe prenatal defects occur in hybrids between several of these populations are known. Many of these defects resemble human diseases. A common outcome is a growth with placental like tissues but no fetus. This is similar to a disease relatively common in California termed molar pregnancy. We have evidence that abnormal regulation of stem cells is involved in the hybrid defects. The research proposed here proposes to use these animals to study: 1. the stem cell basis of the hybrid defects, 2. the natural genetic variants that affect stem cells, 3. the stability of stem cell epigenetic marks of over long periods of time.
Statement of Benefit to California:
Understanding of stem cell regulation has the potential to treat or prevent many diseases. These diseases are not limited to those requiring regenerative capacity, but include cancers and developmental defects. Human studies on some aspects of stem cell biology are unethical or impractical. Current animal models are highly genetically modified relative to their ancestors. Our proposal suggests a new system that may be used to understand the role of natural genetic variation on stem cell regulation, and the stability of cultured stem cells. The proposed system also utilizes native California wildlife. We therefore expect several types of benefit to the Citizens of California. First, our studies will likely suggest genetic variants and epigenetic profiles that will lead to improved human studies or therapies. Second, these animals may provide an alternative system for use bybiotech and pharmaceutical companies. Third, the research will provide graduate and undergraduate student research opportunities, and brings together several disparate areas of biological study. Finally, better understanding of native species, and the role of environment on epigenetics may ultimately benefit our care of the ecosystem.
Review Summary:
SYNOPSIS: This proposal explores the relationship between epigenetic specification of stem cell pluripotency and genetic imprinting. The PI believes that embryonic stem (ES) cells from either the human or the mouse system have limitations that complicate the study of this phenomenon. Human ES cell systems suffer from ethical concerns and impracticality, and the mouse ES cells are not totipotent and do not represent any naturally occurring combination of alleles. Because of these shortcomings, the PI proposes to use two species of field mice: P. maniculatus and P. polionotus. Crosses between these two species lead to parent of origin effects on development that are due to disruption of genomic imprinting. In Aim 1, the PI will create ES cell lines from each of the two species of field mice as well as from interspecific hybrids. The expression of genes associated with stem cell regulation will be measured in the hybrid ES cells, as will the ability of these cells to contribute to different lineages in chimeric embryos. In Aim 2, the PI will assess the integrity of multiple epigenetic marks at loci important for stem cell regulation in interspecies hybrid ES cells compared to parental ES cells. Furthermore, he will perform a gene expression analysis of early hybrid development, and culture and assess the potential of late gestation pluripotent cell types. In Aim 3, the PI will genetically map the locus that controls imprinting in interspecies field mouse hybrids and also test two possible candidate loci. He will further assess epigenetic/stem cell regulatory variants in other populations of mice and evaluate long-term stability of stem cells and derivatives. STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES OF THE RESEARCH PLAN: The model proposed in this application is interesting, however the level of enthusiasm of all 3 reviewers is low. This grant proposal has many problems. The first problem is that the PI presents no support for the basic hypothesis that the observed defects in genomic imprinting also cause defects in the epigenetic regulation of stem cell regulatory genes. The background provided by the PI is limited to saying that because both imprinting and stem cell biology involve epigenetic changes, then both must be subject to regulation by the same gene (called Mei1). Furthermore, the assumption that the observed phenomena are due to epigenetics is also not supported by any data. A second problem is that even if stem cell regulatory genes are abnormally expressed in interspecies hybrids, there is no discussion as to how this would increase our understanding of stem cell biology. The PI is simply looking at genes already known to be important, and none of the experiments would provide any new information about their biological functions. The third specific aim is to map the locus responsible for abnormal imprinting in interspecies mouse hybrids. Not enough information is provided to know whether this has any reasonable chance of success. Finally, there are no preliminary data provided on whether ES cell lines can be derived from these field mice or from the hybrids. If this cannot be achieved, the rest of the aim--and most of the entire project—cannot proceed. One reviewer also pointed out that the same type of studies as the ones proposed here can potentially be performed using monoparental (parthenogenetic or androgenetic) ES cells in laboratory mouse where all the reagents and know-how are available. It is difficult to be enthusiastic about this project because instead of tackling emerging and high priority questions in the ES cell field, it adds an additional variable, in esoteric systems, not necessarily helpful for the understanding of ES cell fate specification in general, or for regenerative medicine in particular. QUALIFICATIONS AND POTENTIAL OF THE PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Dr. Vrana is a talented investigator with many important contributions to his field, as shown by his list of publications. He received his PhD from Columbia, working in the lab of Ward Wheeler at the American Museum of Natural History. He was then a postdoc for 7 years with Shirley Tilghman, before becoming an Assistant Professor in the Biochemistry Department at UC Irvine in 2001. He began his work on interspecies mouse hybrids in the Tilghman lab, publishing two interesting papers which demonstrated the importance of abnormal imprinting to the resulting developmental anomalies. In the six years since he started his own lab he has continued to map genetically the locus responsible for controlling imprinting in these crosses, and has published three senior author papers in genetics specialty journals. He has a grant from the NSF to support that work, which ends in 2008. The PI has limited experience with ES cell work, he is more familiar with the animal model. INSTITUTIONAL COMMITMENT TO PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: UC Irvine is the best institution for these studies, encompassing all of the necessary resources and centers to successfully execute the proposed specific aims. The PI occupies 1200 square feet of independent lab space at the UCI School of Medicine campus. The Institutional letter of support does not indicate that the school is providing any ongoing support to the PI. DISCUSSION: During a brief discussion, it was reiterated that there is no precedent for the derivation of ES cell lines from the field mice, and no preliminary data are presented in the proposal to support the feasibility of such derivation. If not successful, many aims of this proposal cannot be pursued.

Fun Facts About Cinco de Mayo
Learn what's behind the celebration.
The fifth of May is called "Cinco de Mayo" in Spanish and is a Mexican national holiday. It is also celebrated throughout Mexican-American communities in the U.S., perhaps arguably to a grander and bigger extent.
The holiday recognizes the victory of Mexico over the French at the Battle of Puebla, east of Mexico City, on May 5, 1862. The Mexican army was sorely outnumbered by the invading French army, but the Mexican forces somehow prevailed. That crucial victory marked a huge step for Mexico in its struggle for independence and served to boost morale during a time of political and economic unrest.
Unfortunately, the victory was short-lived because the French ruled Mexico thereafter during the French Intervention period until 1867. Today, celebrations, parades and fiestas mark the historic date.
Fun facts and trivia
Cinco de Mayo facts, fiction and folklore abound, including the following fun facts and trivia:
Cinco de Mayo is often confused with Mexico's Independence Day, which is celebrated on Sept. 16 and marks the date in 1810 (more than 50 years before the Battle of Puebla), when the country gained its independence.
Mexicans celebrate more than 365 festivals annually (an average of one per day), including Cinco de Mayo.
Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, San Francisco and other large U.S. cities host Cinco de Mayo celebrations each year, drawing thousands of celebrants to their events.
Fiesta Broadway is held in downtown Los Angeles each year and is viewed as the biggest Cinco de Mayo celebration in the world. This is thanks in part to the half million participants who attend each year.
One of the most prevalent and enjoyable ways that celebrants experience Cinco de Mayo is through mass amounts of delicious Mexican cuisine and drink.
As the star ingredient in guacamole, avocados top the list of Cinco de Mayo celebration foods. The California Avocado Commission predicts that Americans will consume in excess of 70 million pounds of avocados just during this celebration alone.
Many compare Cinco de Mayo to St. Patrick's Day because the event has become one large excuse to party. Some community organizations are trying to revamp the holiday into a family-friendly cultural event.
Cinco de Mayo may have started with historical roots, but today's recognition of the event is marked by the consumption of Mexican food and drink, parties, festivals, parades and merriment. Whether or not commercialism is to blame for the departure in the event's focus, few, if any, seem to be complaining.

Last year's Indianapolis 500 saw a record 37 lead changes. But through the early stages of the 2013 Indy 500, it appears that record will be broken.
Through 70 laps there have been 19 lead changes among six drivers with pole-sitter Ed Carpenter out front, followed by Marco Andretti and defending IndyCar Series champion Ryan Hunter-Reay.
As it has throughout the month of May, Chevrolet continues to be the dominant manufacturer holding the top six positions and nine of the top 10.
Defending 500 champion Dario Franchitti, who is looking for a record-tying fourth victory, has struggled through the onset. The Scotsman currently runs 14th.
There have been three cautions for separate incidents involving JR Hilderbrand, Sebastian Saavedra and IndyCar points leader Takuma Sato. Hildebrand and Saavedra are out of the race with damage, while Sato has continued on after spinning off of Turn 2.

We did not do any prebooked shore excursions, but would highly recommend the Buffadora whether you book ahead or just get on the bus in town. It is well worth the trip and a great site.
The stage show was very good! We were able to see both of them and were very impressed. One of our group won one of the trivia contests that are constantly being held somewhere on board, there are so many things going on that anyone complaining about the activities are too picky and impossible to please.
I have had better food, but no complaints. When you think about the logistics and shear quantity prepared all day long I think it was very good.
