An odd choice for a summer seasonal maybe but hey maybe not.Bottled on June 5th 2012.Poured into a 1/2 leter stein a deep amber tinged mahagony with great looking sticky off white crown atop.Alot of bready malt and molasses in the nose,a whiff of alcohol and caramel as well.Caramel and molasses flavors with a tinge of dark fruit,an underlying bready maltiness is the main component of the flavor profile.Just a tad thin in the feel but this is a real nice doppelbock,maybe not a beer I would wanna drink in the heat of summer but very good none the less.

Bottled 6/5/12.
In a pilsner glass the beer was a turbid orange/brown color with a small tan head. There was a little bit of lace.
A nice aroma of dark fruit and caramel.
Great taste. Lots of toffee. Raisins and plums. Very smooth.
A rich beer, very enjoyable.

22oz bottle. Pours light ruby brown with a small light tan head that quickly goes to a thin film that leaves a little lacing.
The aroma is sweet caramel / toffee and chocolate malts with a little fruit and smokiness.
The flavor is sweet nutty caramel malts with some dark fruits and some smokey alcohol in the finish. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with smooth carbonation.
Overall, a nice rich and sweet doppelbock.

NYE bottle share at Proof. Pours a deep reddish amber brown with a decent amount of light tan head. Collar holds really well. Aroma is caramel, some medium roasted malt, and a little bit of dark fruits. Taste is very earthy, some caramel. Very low carbonation and medium-high body.

22oz brown bomber, bottle on date on the label.
LOOK: Deep reddish brass tone, epic lacing
SMELL: Clean, floral, toasted dark bread, clean alcohol, nutty, grassy
TASTE: Creamy, smooth, mild crispness, full-ish body, loaf of bread, toasty, nutty, hay, very malty, light sweetness, herbal hops, warming clean end
This beer does not get in you face like many other American brewed versions, very well balanced and drinkable for its size. On par with its German counterparts, hunt this one down.

Bomber bottle, Bottled on 6-14-2012, about 8 months in the bottle.
Pours a nice warm shade of darker brown, hazed, medium tan head, soft, fluffy and loose. Head stays nicely, leaves a thicker colar, and plenty of high, fine and scattered lacing.
Nose is bready, with a hint of nuttyness, and some sweet malts
Taste is full of toffee, dark breads, caramel and dark, ripe fruits. Deeply flavorful and tasty brew.
mouthfeel is soft and smooth, with carbonation on the lower side and feeling just about right.
Overall an enjoyable and worthy take on the noble style. Happy to get to try this slightly aged bottle.

The beer pours a dark brown color with an off-white head. The aroma has some roasted malt with a hint of chocolate mixed in. The flavor is very similar. There is some roasted malt and a very light hint of smoke. I also get some chocolate and some dark fruit. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

Great to find a bottle of this I was kind of pissed when I missed it's release last summer, pours a turbid plum brandy cola tinted color with caramel beige head forming thick with large bubbles of flowing carbonation. Aromatics offer up hints of plum, raisin, dark malts over ripened fruit, beautiful beer almost cider like tartness amongst the dark roasted malts. Flavor rustic lager flavors, smoke meat, just a hint of that, with big ripe dark fruits, plum juicy raisins, and plum that dark juice you can only get from the source. A definite German style lager from Colorado, excellent take by all means I'm just so spoiled to have tried so many great doppelbocks from PA they are the kings of the German beer styles brewed in America with minor exceptions along the way. Hints of dark chocolate and toffee as I take a few more sips with the dark fruit a mesmerizing beer experience, I'm glad I'm digging in now a year later. Mouthfeel is great smooth easy going each sip easier than the next I'm glad I found it subdued and refrigerated for a year it's been truly lagered, easy going carbonation great chewy dopplebock medium to full bodied. Overall I can't stop talking about this beer, excellent stuff nails the style truly good drinking doppelbock they better still make this stuff.

Bomber served cold into a goblet.
Wolfgang is a deep redish brown with good clarity seen around the edges. The head is tight and creamy. It settles slowly and leaves nice Laing behind.
Aroma is malty and sweet and that comes through in the taste as well.
Flavor has toasted malt, biscuit, rye bread, and hints of chocolate.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied with great balance and nicely carbonated.
Overall a really nice beer and perfect for the fall season. Now they just need to make it a six pack.

Watched Portland convict a couple for a series of murders because one of them wanted revenge on the other (with no evidence).. Only to tick off the real killer.. who went to great lengths to establish "he was the one" only to be ignored.. until he killed again and dumped his victim on the washington side.. sadly.. it took washington state in court to release the innocent couple.
But Washington isn't much better. after serving 3 years of 7. a person named by someone else in a robbery was finally released when someone looked through the info to find out he was two states away at the time of robbery and at his probation officers during that time.. ((Also out of revenge))
As a society we would do a lot better if we use evidence instead of testimony. I grew up thinking we use both, what I came to realize when going through court case after court case is rarely are all the facts ever really given, those that are, are met with objections through the whole thing. This is why I believe today we are starting to see more innocent people convicted once again.
What I like about peace circles is everyone has a voice (they are all there) and people speak directly. Victim, Accused, and Community and everyone is held accountable.

EAST PEORIA, Ill -- For four houses teetering on the edge of a mudslide in East Peoria, the city building inspector says "there is no light at the end of the tunnel."
Steve Minner says the ground under and around the homes on Kaitlyn Court remains unstable.
He says it's not necessarily getting worse, but stresses that a slide can happen anytime without notice.
Minner says one house, at 112 Kaitlyn, did have some ground movement today from the rain.
The residents are still not being allowed into their homes.
Minner says insurance does not cover any of this. He estimates each of the homes to valued $225,000.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - Dylan Deckard of Pleasure Ridge Park is finding the line a lot longer than he expected at the Kentucky Workforce Development Cabinet's Louisville Office of Employment & Training. It's his first Monday without a job in nine-and-one-half years.
"Two kids, wife, house payment, car payment, a lot of stuff," said Deckard. "I have a few friends with a couple of laborer jobs, construction. Hopefully, I'll be able to get something."
Deckard can collect up to 26 weeks of state unemployment benefits, but he no longer has a shot at collecting extension payments provided through the federal government. Some 18,000 Kentuckians had been receiving, $290 per week on average; some for as many as 37 weeks after exhausting their state benefit eligibility. Social service agencies expect that many of these long-term unemployed will become clients, if they weren't already.
"There was definitely a gap between the recession and the spike in need," said Brian Riendeau, executive director for Dare to Care, the food warehouse that serves 300 agencies in thirteen Kentuckiana counties.
"I would hazard a guess that this certainly isn't going to make the situation any better," Riedeau continued. "But this also is the season of need, and our donors really have stepped up. And so, we're just gonna say hey, stick with us, we're not done with this job yet."
Kentucky requires the unemployed provide proof that they're searching for work, in order to collect jobless benefits. Ironically, the end of federal extensions may signal a drop in the reported unemployed, but according to Dustin Adams, director of the Division for Unemployment Insurance, that is more of a reflection in how the jobless are counted.
"They'll no longer be tracked as accurately, so you can have a showing that an individual is no longer unemployed," Adams said.
Deckard earned $18 per hour in his job that ended last Friday.
"If I can't find anything that'll pay me as much as the unemployment, then I'm gonna stretch that out as far as I can because it wouldn't make sense," he said.
Workforce Cabinet officials concede that a job search frequently is a full-time job in itself.
"That's always a concern, when somebody takes a job that they otherwise would not have," Adams told WAVE 3 News. "It would occupy their time that they otherwise would spend looking for work."
But Deckard also has to factor in winter's chill and Christmas bills.
"If I can find something $12 to $15 an hour with an option to move up, I'll jump on it," said Deckard.

3.85/5 rDev +5.8%
3/10: Having this again, it really hits the spot for the style. Toasty, bready, simple uncomplicated session mild.
On tap 6/11/09 at the Clybourn brewpub.
Although it wasn't on cask, there was a cluster of big bubbles resting in the center, much like the head from a hand-pulled ale. It had a reddish copper glint when held to the light. Some light carbonation was visible under the surface of the foam, but not much. The head itself was tiny, and became a swirling pinwheel of foam after a few minutes.
Aroma was faint, some toasty malt and lager-y skunk. Flavor was better, more malt presence and some light astringency. The toasted malts were very far in the background, and didn't make a big impression. The body was thin with low carbonation, which is par for the style. At 3% it was very drinkable and a good thirst quencher.
One more obscure style down, 2 more to go...

This is an average drinker, no helped much by the cask treatment, which I find assists hoppy beers more by evening out the flavors.
Dark tan with no head to speak of. Mild malts with hints of dark fruit, well balanced but nothing stands out. I know it's hard to make a 3% beer taste good, but this needs a bit more heft to it, or more hoppiness. It is well made, just a bit light and maybe the style doesn't appeal to me, but I could think of a better one, maybe the Anchor small beer would give this a run. Good for a quick dinner accompaniment, otherwise leave it for better choices here.

Pours a ruby brown color with a small white head.
Scent of brown sugar, bready malts, and dark fruit. Not too strong with a nice bit of complexity.
Taste of grain, bread, and brown sugar. A nice crisp flavor, perhaps a bit too weak, but good.
Mouthfeel is crisp and very light bodied.

Served in a half pint with a tan head that quickly disappeard completely. No lace. Nice mahoganey color. Aroma was malty, a bit toasty, a bit of caramel and toffee, and a bit of hops. Flavor's about the same and true to style. The body was very watery though and that took it down some for me. It'd be too watery for a session beer for my taste. Finish was ok.

For a mild ale, brown or not, its pretty dark with a brown/red hue. 1 1/2 finger head coupled with decent lacing. Looks tasty.
Baker's chocolate and licorice. Roasted malts in the back. Sweet hops, a little floral, to match the sweet malts.
Hmm, tastes like bagged pretzels, Rold Gold I believe. A little bit of light chocolate in there, but not much. Hops are a little tangy, almost as if they are inimtating the saltiness that generally accompanies a pretzel. For 3%ABV I give it kudos for trying to be as big as it is.
Thin and watery. 'Nuff said
There's just not enough going on to keep drinking this one. Sure it imitates a big beer pretty well, but its too watery with not enough bready malt characteristic, only pretzel. Not for the one who considers themselves an advocate of beer. Still beats BMCs however.

As per the website:
One of the few British-Style dark mild ales brewed in the United States. PMD is a light-bodied brown ale with a low alcohol content. Its rich mahogany color comes from the use of chocolate and caramel malts plus a hint of Black malt, which impart a light molasses flavor. Served in an Imperial Pint glass
Ho-Ho did Goose Island nail this one!
Starts with a gorgeous pour, very dark brown with a large, soapy and retentive head.
Smells of incredibly rich bread, almost like a bran muffin but in a good way, blended with very strong but mellow spicy english hops.
Tastes like a perfect blend of chewy, sweet dark malt and mellow spicy English hops. How can something be so mellow yet so strong at the same time? It's like a wonderful high.
Huge flavor from a very small beer. Grab one while you can.

Serving in a pint glass from cask. Leaves a one finger head with excellent retention and excellent lacing. Body is an opaque medium brown.
Smell - apples, figs, caramel, toffee, diacetyl, butterscotch, plums, malt vinegar, and hint of malt bread.
Taste - as promised by the nose. An interplay between sweet such as caramel, toffee, apples, butterscotch, and sour such as plums and malt vinegar, with the sour coming out on top about 75 % of the time, and especially on the finish.
Mouthfeel - medium bodied, low carbonation.
Drinkability - this is good but not great, so that lowers sessionability, but I'd go for two pints now and then.

Served in a pint glass, the dark reddish/brown colour belies its strength, at 2.9% ABV. Smell off white head and spots of lace. Smell is malty, light, some caramel and roasty chocolate. Taste is very mild, caramel and roast, some citrus and grass, very light, but very smooth. Mouthfeel is light bodied with low carbonation, nice for the style.

This was one of the options at the Wrigleyville outpost. The PMD was served in a standard pint. It is dark brown with a nice tan head.
The beer has a malty nose with undertones of plums and raisins.
When drinking the beer, I get lots of mildly roasted malts backed by some dark fruits and a bit of molasses. Taste becomes more complex as it warms.
The mouth was a bit thinner than expected but still managed to be soft and a bit silky.
This is a nice stab at the style, but there are better options, still sesionable once it reaches cellar temps.

(Served in an American pint glass)
A- This beer has a warm brown body that is pretty dense with a thin creamy head that is the color of oatmeal. There is a gentle carbonation of tiny bubbles that I can see at the bottom of the beer glass but they get lost in the body on their way up.
S- The smell is a faint smooth chocolate malt that is pretty neutral with a faint dry pale to lightly toasted hint.
T- This beer has a light malt flavor of dry toffee with a note of brown malt that has a note of nougat or pot caramel. There is a light sour note in the finish with no really hop character. As it warms the pot caramel note taste a bit more like coffee malt and there is a chalky taste to the malt.
M- This beer has a light mouthfeel that is a bit watery with a faint fizz kick in the finish.
D- This beer is a little to thin and watery. The flavors are a bit off with the malts not having the fresh taste.

Pulled From the Cask at the Wrigley Brewpub.
A: Dark reddish brown color with a tan head.
S: Little malts with no hops aroma at all, but I did not expect any hops due to the style. However, there was something missing in the aroma. It had an aroma that kind of reminded me of the way a big glass of water smells like. I don't know passing the cup for my friends to smell they all responded the same way. The aroma was very lacking.
T: Like the smell it was very weak. I was hoping for atleast a little more malty backbone but there was nothing.
M: Very thin and watery not impressive at all.
D: Pretty drinkable due to the fact it was very similar to water.
Note: Maybe I had a bad one. Possibly the cask had been open too long and it was spoiled and no one changed it. I'm not sure however I was not impressed at all by this beer at all.

Poured a dark brown with reddish hints - it looks an awful lot like a strongly brewed iced tea. Head consists of large bubbles in a froth making a desparate attempt to cling to the glass.
Smell is very light with a slight maltiness and no hint of a hop aroma.
Taste is mildly bitter like unsweetened tea with a slight twang of acidity at the end. Darker toasty flavors linger.
There is very little carbonation in this cask-condition brew. and it is very drinkable.

This beer poured a dark brown with ruby hues around the edges. One finger of tan head has a lot of staying power through the course of the beer. The nose was really roasty, wtih lots of chocolate and hints of caramel sweetness. Yum. The taste was full of chocolate with a coffee finish. As one might think, this beer was very mild, without flavors that overwhelmed me, just enough there to let me know there is flavor. The feel was moderate to thick, overall filling my mouth well and going down smooth. There was justa hint of carbonation on there to let me know I was drinking a beer. Overall a damn fine beer. Really mellow and smooth. Try this one if you can find it on tap!

Passport to Key West Archive
Feb. 26, 2010
The Florida Museum sailed guests to a tropical paradise at Passport to Key West. Decorations that represented Earnest Hemingway, the famous Southernmost Point, and other unforgettable landmarks of Key West provided an atmosphere that was clearly enjoyable and festive. Guests enjoyed tropical inspired food from Blue Water Bay, danced to tunes including Jimmy Buffet by Green Room and bid on a wide variety of Key West themed items in another successful silent auction.
We would like to thank the Florida Museum Associates Board for producing another fantastic evening and working hard to bring Key West to the Museum. The artistry, the sounds and the food created an authentic atmosphere that all enjoyed. Their efforts helped the Museum raise over $42,000 to help support exhibits, public programs and research.
A special thank you again this year to Jim Brandenberg for building the iconic Key West houses and Sloppy Joe's Bar, and to Alan Shapiro for donating the trees and plants that transformed the Museum into an island paradise!

7:30am Wednesday 15th January 2014 in News By Mike Laycock, Chief reporter
VETERAN rugby players are being urged to get their boots on again as a charity match in North Yorkshire becomes an annual event – with organisers hoping it will go on to become a national phenomenon.
Last year's inaugural Get Your Boots On match at Terrington Hall School, near Malton, raised more than £20,000 for the Ryedale Multiple Sclerosis Society.
The over-40s event, which was watched by about 500 people and received international as well as national coverage, being featured in magazines such as Rugby World, was organised by Marcus and Nina Aldrich, of Whitwell-on-the-Hill.
Now another match is to be staged at the school at 1.30pm on Saturday, March 1, raising funds this time for both Yorkshire Cancer Care and MS-UK.
The following day, Sedbergh Casterton Preparatory School in the Yorkshire Dales will be holding its own XV Veterans Get Your Boots On match, supported by ex-pupil and Gloucester and England player, James Simpson Daniel.
Mr Aldrich, who has founded XV Veterans, the charity behind Get Your Boots On, says it harnesses the compelling and enduring spirit, camaraderie and competitiveness of former rugby players for good causes.
He said: "Our vision is to create a national network of participating XV Veterans teams playing rugby matches annually at partner schools, generating funds for a wide range of charitable causes.
"XV Veterans are committed to enabling anyone aged between 38 and 99 to have another go at rugby in a structured, competitive and truly memorable way, reigniting their passion for the game and at the same time helping to raise valuable funds for charity."
He said next year, when the Rugby World cup would be staged in the UK, he was hoping at least 50 schools and clubs would host XV Veterans Get Your Boots On matches on the same weekend.
He added that this year's match at Terrington would be dedicated to the memory of Nigel Williams, from Norton, who played in the inaugural game. He died later in the year.
He said: "We are asking anyone who is interested in playing in this year's game to get in touch as soon as possible, as we only have a limited number of places to play."
To sign up, go to xvveterans.org, a website which is due to go live today, or email Marcus at email@example.com

A Metropolitan Police Department officer faces a money laundering conspiracy charge stemming from the purchase and financing of two cars and a motorcycle with money that allegedly came from a drug conspiracy.
Prosecutors say Stephanie Ellison was indicted by a Washington grand jury Thursday. Prosecutors say that the 49-year-old Ellison, a police officer since 1986, was arrested Friday and pleaded not guilty during a court appearance.
Prosecutors say that in 2011 and 2012, Ellison conspired to purchase a Maserati, a BMW and a Harley Davidson motorcycle with drug proceeds in order to conceal the money.
If convicted, Ellison faces up to 20 years in prison. The police department wrote in a statement she is now on administrative leave with pay. Ellison's lawyer did not return a telephone call Friday.

The Bears draw the Titans for today's matchup, the halfway point of the season - and one that, while the Bears are currently 6-1, doesn't give Bears fans and pundits much comfort about the strength of the team. But after last week's gutcheck of a win, I'm pretty sure this one can't fall under the "trap game" heading. Before the Bears head into matchups against the 49ers and Texans, among others, they have to take care of business today.
Chris Johnson's looked pretty good over the last two weeks - but it's easy to look good when you're running in empty space with nobody tackling you. Seriously, Buffalo and Indianapolis have awful run defenses, and Johnson did what he's supposed to. But the Bears come in ranked 8th in yards-per-carry-against, far better than those other two teams, and Johnson hasn't had too great of a year outside of that. And if the Titans can't run the ball on the Bears, that puts the game in the hands of Matt Hasselbeck, who for all the crap I've tossed his way over the last two days has a quarterback rating over 100 in the last two weeks, so he can still get it done.
Of course, the big worry is Kamerion Wimbley, the TItans' big free agent acquisition, as I'm sure he's watched the tape of Greg Hardy and Charles Johnson from last week. I'd expect a tight end to shadow him across the field.
Meanwhile, on the navy and orange side of things, the offense hasn't been pretty, but they've been just enough to get things done this year behind a defense that's at times been like having a second offense on the field. With Charles Tillman and Tim Jennings both playing pretty good football, they can succeed a little better even when the defensive line struggles getting penetration. All eyes are almost certainly going to be on the offense, though, as they had a rough time of it last week and need to tighten things up before getting into the roughest part of their schedule. Getting to 7-1, though, is the key.
Linkage, people!
Bettors, enjoy. Also, Super Bowl odds, updated.
Sean Payton signed a multi-year extension in September... or did he? Sources say his contract's been voided, and he'll be a free agent next season. Of course, the NFL is in denial mode.
Chris Conte thought someone played a Halloween prank on him. Nope; $21,000 buys a lot of freaking candy though.
Deuce Lutui makes his first start for Tennessee. Good thing Tommie Harris isn't here to greet him. They also promoted Tracy Wilson (safety) from the practice squad.
The Titans want to rattle Jay Cutler. What, like, a rattle snake or something? I'm sure something rattles him, but it's probably more related to something his kid's shaking in the middle of the night. Oh, Justin Babineaux said something about Cutler holding the ball too long and sacking him, maybe that clears it up.
ESPN Nuts & Bolts for the game. (Spongie linked this yesterday already; in fact, lots of Bears' related stuff is already in there.)
White gloves, pink drawers - sure, let's just blame everything about how leagues handle serious brain injuries on the NFL. Monty Williams said he suffered "four or five" concussions in the NBA; I'm pretty sure the total's a lot higher than that.
No Finances League: Antonio Brown was hit for 10K for his backward jog into the end zone. Deserved.
Expect pretty much good solid football weather - 58 degrees, partly cloudy.
TV and stuff like that:
Oh, and the BBC and NFL UK stuff here too.
Bears: Alshon Jeffery, Dane Sanzenbacher, Edwin Williams, Matt Toeaina, Brody Eldridge, Amobi Okoye, Cheta Ozougwu.
Titans: QB Jake Locker, LB Patrick Bailey, G/C Leroy Harris, T Byron Stingily, WR Lavelle Hawkins, LB Will Witherspood, DT DaJohn Harris

Make My Day!
"Go ahead, make my day."
So said actor Clint Eastwood, as the character Harry Callahan, in the 1983 movie, Sudden Impact, after a robber grabbed a hostage.
"Dirty Harry" was known for blowing away the bad guys. Clashes and confrontations often ended with blow flies on bad guys.
Recently a green bottle fly that touched down on our daylily "made my day." The rich golden blossom and the red-eyed insect with its emerald-green metallic body seemed to go together nicely.
I know. I know. A green bottle fly (Phaenicia sericata) isn't exactly the poster child of the insect world, but it is pretty.
Pretty on a golden daylily after an autumn rain.

The Washington Redskins have spent since 2007 traveling the road back to the NFL playoffs -- but it's been a heck of a ride. Next stop: Sunday's wildcard game against the Seattle Seahawks.
All this hailing to the Redskins should seem familiar. In 2007, the Redskins also made the 2007 NFL playoffs as a wildcard team. And, just like this year, that 2007 playoff game was against the Seattle Seahawks.
Let's hope the similarities end there, because the Seahawks won the last time around. That game, though was in Seattle. Sunday, the Redskins are at home for the first time in the NFL playoffs since they beat the Detroit Lions in 1999.
Find more Redskins playoff history here.
Can Robert Griffin III -- RG3 -- pull off another run against the Seahawks like this Oct. 14 performance against the Minnesota Vikings? Check out the video of the RGIII touchdown run.
Or will Albert Morris carry the day as he did here against the Cowboys and continue his record-breaking season? Here's video of a Morris touchdown run.
The latest betting lines favor Seattle over Washington by 3. Don't forget to let the team know how you feel about the season, the victory over Dallas and the upcoming playoff games.

Office of the Premier
Diamond Jubilee
New lighting unveiled at Parliament Square14 June 2012
FREDERICTON (GNB) – The history of the legislative assembly came to life as the new lighting at Parliament Square was turned on in a ceremony on the evening of Wednesday, June 13.
Dale Graham, speaker of the legislative assembly, hosted Lt.-Gov. Graydon Nicholas, Premier David Alward, MLAs and others at the ceremony, held in honour of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee.
The history of the legislative assembly and its historical links to The Monarchy and to the development of government in New Brunswick were highlighted as each of seven lighted areas was unveiled.
"This new display pays fitting tribute to both our Queen and the people's house, which is one of New Brunswick's most important symbols and meeting places," said Alward. "Its historic and architectural significance is now highlighted in a way that honours it as a beacon of democracy, leadership, and service to community."
The project was spearheaded by Walter Brown, who played a key role in this bipartisan effort involving the legislative administration committee. Following the ceremony, Nicholas and Alward presented Brown with a Diamond Jubilee Medal.
"We are pleased to honour Walter Brown with the Diamond Jubilee Medal this evening," Graham said. "Walter was instrumental in seeing this project come to fruition, and the beautiful lighting we are all enjoying is a testament to his tireless work in promoting our provincial heritage."
The enhanced lighting for the buildings and grounds of the legislative assembly is part of the Legislative Assembly Building Long Term Restoration Plan. The lighting was conceived and designed by Guy Simard of Quebec City and installed during the winter and spring of 2012. The project has been overseen by Dan Bussières, the sergeant-at-arms at the legislative assembly.
The lighting emphasizes the many architectural features of the buildings; reduces overall energy consumption; and improves public safety by using environmental-design principles to light previously unlit spaces.

In between vigorous rehearsals with director Van Kaplan, choreographer Kiesha Lalama and music director and arranger Michael Moricz — who stage the 2013 National High School Musical Theater Awards, which take place at the Minskoff Theatre and are hosted by Tony Award nominees and Cinderella co-stars Laura Osnes and Santino Fontana — the 62 high school students competing for this year's "Jimmy" find themselves immersed in New York's theatre scene, dining at the famed restaurant Sardi's, attending a show at the Palace Theatre and chatting with Tony Award-nominated artists.
Following the June 27 evening performance of Annie, the students — dressed their best for an evening on the town — were greeted by cast members from the 2013 Tony Award-nominated Best Revival for a post-performance talkback. The orphans, including lead actress Lilla Crawford, and members of the adult ensemble, answered the students' questions about what it's like to work with artists such as choreographer Andy Blankenbuehler and co-stars Jane Lynch and Anthony Warlow, as well as their experience at this year's Tony Awards and how they landed the job.

"It was intimidating learning that [Emily Rosenfeld, the actress playing Molly] was eight...on Broadway...working," he added. "It's crazy, but Monday, we'll be on Broadway."
On Monday, the students will perform for guest judges Scott Ellis (The Mystery of Edwin Drood), Kent Gash (founding director of NYU Tisch School of the Arts' New Studio on Broadway), Montego Glover (Memphis), Rachel Hoffman (casting of First Date, Hands on a Hardbody, Bring It On), Alecia Parker (executive producer of Pippin, Priscilla Queen of the Desert), Nick Scandalios (chairman of The Broadway League and executive VP of the Nederlander Organization) and Bernard Telsey (casting of Tarzan, The Wedding Singer, The Color Purple), who will pick the 2013 Best Actor and Best Actress.

Handicap Access
This home is fairly accessible for those with limited mobility since there is one bedroom and one bathroom on the main level. The main entrance has 5 steps to enter the home. Once you are on the main level, there is a living room area, TV, kitchen, dining area, BBQ, and a deck with picnic tables. The living room is a sunken living room with 2 steps.
You walk in through the front door and you will be in the mud room with racks for shoes and coat hangers. You will continue into the house and on the right is a piano (recently tuned by a South Lake Tahoe professional piano tuner) and on the left is the sunken living room with couches and large TV with cable. You pass the sunken living room and enter the dining area with seating for 16 people and then there is another door that leads out onto the large deck with a BBQ. When you enter the front door and continue inside there is a breakfast table for seating for 6 people and a large open kitchen. Off of the kitchen is a pantry with the washer and dryer, computer with internet, iron, and ironing board. If you walk down the hallway there is a door that leads into the master suite with a TV, king bed, and ensuite bathroom with jacuzzi tub and separate shower.
From the kitchen, there is a set of stairs that leads upstairs. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms all with queen beds and a bathroom with shower/tub. From the kitchen, you can walk through a door which leads down into the garage and separate entrance to the house. In the 2 car garage, you will find an extra fridge and a ping pong table.
There are two ways to enter the lower level. From the outside of the house or there is a small circular staircase that leads into the lower level from the upstairs. The lower level has a foosball table and a bathroom with shower near the entrance. Continue into the lower level and there is a TV, pool table, shuffleboard table and couches. On the left is a bedroom with a queen bed and an ensuite bathroom with a shower. The second door on the left has a large bedroom with two sets of bunk beds. The large level fenced in back yard is beautiful. There is a volleyball net, tetherball set, new hot tub (purchased October 2010) and a swing. It is great for playing games or playing in the snow. On the side of the house is slight hill which is nice for sledding.
I love when guests are able to stop by and view the home. I live in San Francisco but I drive up to Tahoe once a week to bring supplies, fix things, monitor construction projects in the home, etc. You can call me on my cell phone and arrange a time to view the home. I am only able to give tours when the homes are empty as I am sure you would not want guests viewing the home when you are occupying the house.
Snow Removal
I have a company that plows the driveway when there is more than 5 inches of snow. Remember to bring chains when traveling in the Sierras and bring extra food and water in your car. This home has a gradually sloping driveway.
Vacation Rental by Owner
My name is Charles Seidel and I am the owner of this vacation rental home in South Lake Tahoe. If you are looking to rent a home in Tahoe, I recommend finding a private owner instead of using one of the agencies. Private owners take care of their homes much better than the large rental agencies since they care more. I live in San Francisco but I drive up to Tahoe about 3-4 times per month to check on my homes, fix any problems, buy new furniture, and bring up supplies.

No more than 40 people are allowed at the home day or night and festivities have to stop by 10 pm (per Lake Tahoe Vacation Home ordinance).
Pet Policy
There is a one time charge of $100 to bring your pets. Some people are allergic so you can ask when the last time a guest was at the house with a pet. This only happens about once a year since most of my guests are flying in from overseas or from the other side of the country.
A few weeks before your arrival, I will email you the access code for the lockbox.
When is payment due?
Payment is due two months before your arrival (3 months prior for holidays or special events)
How do I make a reservation?
Fill out the reservation form on this website.
Cancellation policy?
You can cancel giving one month's notice or more and receive a full refund. After one month there is no refund.
Is there a security deposit?
Yes. The security deposit of $800 is required about 2 weeks before your arrival. It will be returned to you about 2 weeks after your check out.
When is my reservation confirmed?
If your rental is within two months, you are not confirmed until I receive the rental payment and the rental agreement. If your rental is over two months in the future, you are not confirmed until I receive the two page rental agreement. It is possible that I email you back to let you know that the house is available and the next day it could get booked by another guest. That is why after you receive the rental agreement, I recommend sending it back soon to secure your reservation. It is very common for me to have 2 or 3 rental agreements sent out for the same time and whoever returns it to me first will receive the booking.
These homes are very famous and very popular and I sell out quickly. I understand it takes some time to confirm the booking with your group, buy airline tickets, etc. and by the time you confirm everyone, the house could get booked by another group. But you can make a tentative reservation to hold the date. All you have to do is fill out the reservation form on the website and then I will send you the rental agreement. Most vacation rental companies demand half payment upon booking and the balance due two months before arrival. However, I do not like that policy since some of my guests make bookings far in advance and I don't think it is fair taking someone's money a year in advance. No payment is due until 2 month before arrival.
What form of payments are accepted?
I accept checks, Paypal, debit cards or credit cards.

4-4 Calculating CFU from dilution plating results
(200162 Reads)
Table of Contents| Chapter Article List| Printable Version | Printable Chapter[Prev] | [Next]
How des a count on a plates get converted to CFUs per gram or ml of sample? Let's illustrate the procedure with an example. Imagine that we perform the following experiment:
Five ml of milk are added to 45 ml of sterile diluent. From this suspension, two serial, 1/100 dilutions are made, and 0.1 ml is plated onto Plate Count Agar from the last dilution. After incubation, 137 colonies are counted on the plate.
This problem may be illustrated as follows:
Figure 4-2 A drawing of the dilution problem
It is normally a good idea to draw out dilution problems until you are comfortable doing them.
Note that it is often a good idea to draw out dilution problems until you are comfortable doing them. It will help you to develop a clear picture of what is being done.
The first step in solving this problem is to work out the total dilution of the sample. First 5 ml is added to 45 ml; This is a 1/10 dilution.
Figure 4-3 Initial dilution
The initial dilution is a 1 to 10 dilution.
Remember, there are many ways to make 1/10 and 1/100 dilutions. A 0.1 ml to 0.9 ml dilution is the same as a 1 ml to 9 ml dilution and a 13 ml to 117 ml dilution. Next, 1 ml of the first dilution is added to 99 ml to make the second dilution, that is a 1/100 dilution. This is repeated with third dilution giving another 1/100 dilution. Then 0.1 ml of the third dilution is plated out on a plate of PCA. The total dilution of the sample is cumulative and can be represented mathematically as....
Figure 4-4 Calulating total dilution
The total dilution for the problem
Notice that the amount put on the plate is also a dilution. Normally CFUs are reported per ml or per gram. In some cases less than 1 ml is put on the plate and this must be taken into account. One way to solve this, is to factor it into the total dilution. In this problem 0.1 ml was added to the plate, or 1/10th of a ml. So multiply the total dilution by 1/10 for the amount added to the plate. This leaves the total dilution as one-one millionth. The next step is to work out the dilution factor. The dilution factor is the reciprocal of the total dilution. In this case it would be......
Figure 4-5 Dilution factor
A mathematical representation of the diluction factor.
Finally, multiply the total dilution by the average number of colonies in the plate(s) and report your answer in CFUs/ml or CFUs/gram depending upon where the sample came from; in this case ml because we used milk as a sample.
Figure 4-6 Total colony forming units
A calculation of the total number of CFUs in the original milk sample.
With enough practice, dilution problems can be worked out quite easily and rapidly. The method described above is just a suggested approach, if you find another way to do these problems which is more intuitive for you, use it. When doing dilution problems, remember the following:
Here is another sample problem. Using any method you choose, solve the problem.
One ml of a bacterial culture is pipetted into a 9 ml dilution blank. One-tenth ml of this dilution is pipetted into a 9.9 ml dilution blank. From this dilution one-tenth ml is plated using 25 ml of Plate Count Agar. 219 colonies arise after incubation. How many colony-forming units were present per ml of the original culture?
The correct answer: 2.19 X 106 CFUs / ml. (Note, the 25 ml of Plate Count Agar plated is irrelevant. Why?)[Prev] | [Next]

SHERMAN, TX---- The microbrewery business in Texas could be about to take off. Governor Rick Perry signed a new law last Friday that's expected to help breweries across the state. The law allows them to sell beer on their premises.
Before this law, visitors would have to pay for a tour of the brewery and could only sample beer, but thanks to the unanimous support of the Texas House and Senate, this law went into effect immediately on Friday.
Owners of 903 Brewers in Sherman said the new law is going to boost business and allow them to expand faster. To celebrate the new law, the brewery opened the tasting room tonight from 5:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. The brewery's regular hours are Thursday nights from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and Saturday afternoons from 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.

This 317-room hotel in Mission Valley is a pretty typical chain, with all the San Diego mid-range basics (24-hour fitness center, outdoor pool). Comfortable (if not particularly stylish) rooms have iPod docks and flat-screens, but some face a wall. It's near the University of San Diego, but far from downtown -- you'll have to drive to see any tourist sites.

Where do the children who are in the wedding party sit at the wedding reception? Should it be with the bridal party, or with their parents? What if one of their parents is in the wedding party?
Kids (even the flower girl and ring bearer) generally sit with their parents at the reception rather than at the head table. If just one of the child's parents is in the wedding party, then that whole family can be seated at the head table (if the plan can accommodate the extras). In many cases, however, the to-be-weds choose to seat the family elsewhere (like with their friends or other family members), even if the mother is a bridesmaid or the father is a groomsman. Basically, do whatever you think will make the kids (and their parents and you, for that matter) feel most comfortable -- and if you're not sure what that is, just ask them!

Three recent semesters of college-level Spanish or equivalent and the ability to follow coursework in Spanish, as assessed by SIT.
The two thematic seminars encompass six broadly defined and related areas of inquiry. Each area entails a series of lectures, readings, and in some cases, short fieldwork assignments carried out individually or in small groups. Major thematic areas of study are as follows:
- Historical and economic foundations of social change
- Social and grassroots movements and the decolonization of development practices
- Andean and Amazonian cultures and cosmovision
- The reclaiming of pluricultural identities and creative responses to globalization
- Environmental issues and indigenous movements
- The politics of contemporary issues
The following syllabi are either from a recent session of this program or for an upcoming session. Because courses develop and change over time to take advantage of dynamic learning opportunities, actual course content will vary from term to term.
The syllabi can be useful for students, faculty, and study abroad offices in assessing credit transfer. Read more about credit transfer.
Historical and Contemporary Social Change in Bolivia -syllabus (PDF)
(LACB 3000 / 3 credits / 45 class hours)
The Historical and Contemporary Social Change seminar is a 3-credit course (45 class hours). The seminar explores the historical and present struggles of colonization and de-colonization in a country with the largest indigenous population in Latin America and some of the historically strongest and most well-organized social movements in the Americas. The course covers social change and social movements in Bolivia including pre-Incan societies; indigenous resistance to Spanish colonization; the national revolution of 1952 and subsequent agrarian reform; labor movements including miners' and campesino unions; the military dictatorships of the 1960s, 70s, and 80s; Bolivian feminist movements; the coca grower's movement against the US-waged war on drugs; contemporary uprising against privatization and neoliberal economic policy during the water and gas rebellions of 2000 and 2003; and finally, an analysis of current efforts toward de-colonization under Evo Morales, the first indigenous president in the Americas. Students will consider the influence of Andean and Amazonian cosmovision and systems of knowledge in the articulations of new, creative visions of social change in Bolivia. This course includes lectures by leading academics in Cochabamba as well as by intellectuals and leaders of social movements on excursions to La Paz, El Alto and Potosí.
Multiculturalism and Globalization in Bolivia - syllabus (PDF)
(LACB 3005 / 3 credits / 45 class hours)
The Multiculturalism and Globalization seminar is designed to provide firsthand academic and experiential knowledge about the interplay between multiculturalism and globalization in the Plurinational State of Bolivia, a country with 36 ethnic groups and the largest indigenous population in the Americas. Students will learn about Andean and Amazonian cosmovisión (worldviews) and cultural practices, and how various indigenous communities and grassroots movements in Bolivia are reclaiming their cultural identities and creatively responding to the pressures of an increasingly globalized world. This course comprises a lecture series given by local academics, professionals, artists, and activists and educational field excursions to Sucre, La Paz, the tropical lowlands, and a rural Quechua or Aymara village. Field experiences are carefully structured to enhance coursework and assigned readings. The seminar also includes directed discussions of lectures, experiences, readings, and investigations outside of the classroom.

Upon entering this emporium of booze, I realized something. I was in heaven. Although I am not a wine person, there are several aisles dedicated to the different kinds. Red, white, Italian, large, small - you name it.
As for the craft beer selection, it goes on forever. There is one lengthy wall that starts off with imports and progresses into the world of craft beer. They have bombers, 4 packs, 6 packs, cans, bottles, 12 packs, variety packs... you name it, they have it. You will not get bored with this selection. Not only is there variety, but there is value. CARUMBA, is it cheap. You will find this wall at Woodman's and hover. HOVER! Like a fly on shit, you'll annoyingly hang out for an extended period of time. You may try to leave and come back. Once you make your choice, you'll want to go back for that other interesting looking 6 pack you saw. Don't do it! You'll get it next time...
Check out the Woodman's Liquor Store. It is on the south side of the store beyond the produce and bakery sections. Not only will you find a vast selection of wine and liquor, but you will most importantly find an endless supply of craft beer for astounding prices. The only thing this liquor store doesn't have is tastings. Get on that, Phil Woodman. And a carumba to you as well.

Woodman's offers some very good prices. For a while, they have had one of the best selections in Rockford. They have recently remodeled their liquor department. Good selection of craft and imports. They have a nice selection of craft sampler packs in the back cooler of the store.
All of the main craft choices one could find in Illinois are available here. Picked up Sierra Nevada and a Left Hand bomber on my most recent visit. They also have a wide selection of wine and liquor available.
The only negative is they can be quite busy on a weekend. You may have to wait a brief time in line.

I normally stop here when visiting my sister and her family out in Rockford.
The atmosphere is a bustling super market, though the liquor section is in a separate part of the store (that you actually have to technically leave the store to get to, kind of odd). They have a pretty decent selection of the normal run of the mill Bell's, Two Brothers, Founders, Goose Island, etc. They had Bourbon County Stout there this Christmas (which was nice since it seemed to sell out in the Chicagoland area immediately).
Overall, it isn't the best, but if you are in the area it is worth a stop off at. Prices seemed reasonable if not cheaper than expected. If you just need a decent craft six pack, it is worth the stop to save a few bucks but if you are looking for something special, look elsewhere.

On a Sunday afternoon, you'd think a trip to Woodmans would be relatively quick and painless... nope! The parking lot was at capacity, people were parking along the outer edge even.
Inside was the standard layout, entire beer selection in the back coolers. No displays or seasonals, but the one bright spot here was the ridiculously cheap deals here and there. Double Trouble for $8.89? That can't be right!? OK, bring it up to the register... uhh, there's 15 people in line snaking around the cashier station into an aisle. I've *never* seen 2 cashiers working at the same time in a Woodmans liquor dept. ...what's up with that? Left without buying anything, as I didn't have 20 minutes to wait in line.
Selection was good, noticed Goose bombers of Pere Jacques, Sofie, '09 BCS, all priced low. Decent imports like Chimay & Saison Dupont, plenty of Sam Smith. Full Bells and Founders lineup with descriptive shelf tags. 2009 Oberon mini-kegs were a little disconcerting to see though, as this years release is next month.
Head over to Artale nearby for a great beer selection and superior service to match.

I did go to this place while everyone seemed to be buying up wine and liquour for their Christmas parties. And someone had dropped and broken a gallon of merlot...so the floors were blocked off and of course employees were tied up cleaning the mess AND I can't mention the smell with out sounding "like that guy who played in" Sideways.
That said. The best new thing I was able to find there was Mendocino Brewing Company products. Most else could be found anywhere else. Much was in disarray, especially in the Make your own 6 Section, due to the high traffic i'm sure. Prices were decent. Not a bad place to go. If you're visiting, probably THE place to go to get craft brews.

When walking from the store section to the liquor section, through two double doors, I noticed a sign that said "Rockford's largest liquor department". I took that as a good sign but the Woodman's in IL are never as good as their WI counterpart. The next set of double doors had a big sign that stated "Absolutely no refund or returns on any alcohol. All sales are final. Except for damaged or expired goods". It first I was a bit offended but I thought it was good they would take back expired beers.
The beer set-up is much like the other IL Woodmans with two walls of cooler banks draped in clear plastic strips that hold all the beer and the further you move down the larger the quantities get. They had an average imported singles section of British, German and a few Belgian beers. The six packs were largely from WI breweries but none of the rare stuff. They did have plenty of Point, Leini, Berghoff and Sand Creek, with a few Colorado breweries that are common. The Mix-A-Six section had enough interesting singles that I could make almost to 6-packs of beers that I didn't want to buy a whole 6-pack of. They were all fresh and I checked all the dates based on others reviews.
The service was one person at the checkout and a manager filling out paperwork but the place was laid out so that everything was easy to find. I would have liked to see a bit more of the odd WI brews but I was happy to find things we can't get in Chicago. It is worth a stop if you are in the neighborhood, and one of the few places you can get cheese curd in IL.

After reading mofo's review I decided to find this place while in Rockford on business and it is surely quite an impressive layout. All the wine and liquor is arranged in the middle aisles with all the beer on refrigerated shelves around the perimeter with clear vinyl curtains to keep the cold in. Certainly they have just about every beer you would ever want especially for a place like Rockford although I was disappointed in minimal selection of Belgians. I only walked out with a single of a Celebrator but I'll definitely be back.

On Tuesday, the SalvationArmy announced they are bringing back their public lunch program, which hadclosed down last month because of a lack of donations.
"Sometimes it's the only meal that theworking men that come in off the streets for that meal, sometimes that's theonly meal they receive the whole day, so it means everything to them,"Henrietta Grooms, a Salvation Army donor, said.
On June 17, the SalvationArmy called on the community to help put lunch back on their menu.
"Well I've said itsince I first came to Tyler, I've never seen the giving spirit that Tyler has,"Major Ben Lawrence, Commanding Officer at Tyler Salvation Army, said.
Three days later moneycame and Major Lawrence knew it wouldn't take long for lunch to be servedagain.
"It's amazing to be able to just put outa need and they always step up and help us," Major Lawrence said.
During the three weeksthat the salvation army had to shut down its lunch services more than 250people a day were without food for lunch. That's roughly 4200 meals.
"So many peoplecontribute based on the fact that the Salvation Army has helped them in thepast," Grooms said.
Henrietta Grooms has beenhelping the Salvation Army for 25 years and it's stories, like one a member ofher church told her, that keep her coming back.
"His mom deliveredhim at The Salvation Army so he has some really fond memories," Groomsaid.
Those memories as small aslunchtime that mean so much.
"I'm sure once itdoes take place again this coming Monday, that we'll hear a lot of thankyous," Major Lawrence said.

Fleetwood boss praises side's great attitude
Updated 8:28am Monday 7th April 2014 in Sport By David Pritchard, Chief Sports Reporter covering Oxford United. Follow us on twitter: @oxfordmailoufc. Call me on 01865 425458
Graham Alexander praised his Fleetwood Town side for the measure of control they had in beating Oxford United.
He said: "I thought in the first half especially we bossed it and could've scored before we did.
"It was really pleasing to get the goal because we definitely deserved it.
"We would've loved a second before half-time to give us a bit of breathing space, but that came in the second half with a great strike.
"It was a great three points for us and a clean sheet as well, the boys are really happy."
Alexander was pleased with the attitude of his players.
He said: "The lads kept believing in themselves and kept pouring forward. They showed great energy."

How much does it cost?
Faculty and Staff SOV permits cost $423.00 per quarter. Please visit the Commuter Services office with the current vehicle registration to purchase the permit. Permits are payable by VISA, Mastercard, check, cash, or Husky Card account. Faculty and staff who buy Annual permits may choose payroll deduction as their payment type.
Student SOV Permits cost slightly less because they are calculated for shorter durations from the first day of classes to the last day of finals of each academic quarter. Universal U-PASS members purchasing a student SOV permit will receive a discount equivalent to the amount of the Universal U-PASS fee. Contact Commuter Services for more information. Students purchasing permits must present the current vehicle registration at the time of purchase.
What else should I know?
Student SOV valid for academic quarter: Student quarterly SOV permits are valid for parking on campus from the first day of classes through the last day of finals for the permitted quarter. Student parking between quarters is available at an additional prorated cost.
Vehicle Registration Required: All customers must have a vehicle registered on their account in order to purchase a parking product. To add a vehicle to your account, you must provide a copy of your vehicle registration or other documentation to validate the license plate, make, year, and model of the vehicle. In lieu of the vehicle registration, a photo of the license plate will be accepted.
- Faculty and staff: You may return your permit to Commuter Services at any time for a refund of future days paid. If you elected payroll deductions as your payment type and wish to stop deductions, you MUST return the permit to Commuter Services and sign a stop-deduction form. The registered permit holder remains responsible for payment of the permit fee until the permit is physically returned to Commuter Services or expires. If you chose to receive a complimentary U-PASS with your permit, it will be canceled at the same time; however, you may purchase a U-PASS separately.
- Students: You may return your permit to Commuter Services at any time for a refund of future days paid. Please note that your refund will be prorated and reflect the discounted amount.
- Your refund will be processed in the manner the initial payment was received. If you paid by credit card, you must bring the same card to receive your refund. If you paid by check or in cash, please note that refund amounts in excess of $100 will take 4-6 weeks to process. Husky Card account purchases will be refunded same-day onto your Husky Card.
- Faculty and staff will be issued a complimentary U-PASS by Commuter Services, upon request.
With an SOV permit:
