The 45th anniversary of the moon landing came and went recently, but you can be forgiven if you missed it. Here on Earth, there's been no shortage of tragedy and conflict that overshadowed this anniversary. Of course, 45 years ago, the story wasn't so different, and the moon landing was deeply wrapped up in it.
In the 1950s scientific research that was developed for military purposes was put towards the goal of space exploration, primarily by the two Super Powers that emerged following the Second World War. From the launch of Sputnik to President Kennedy's promise to put a man on the moon by the end of the decade, the 'space race' was another field of competition in the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union.
Maggot Moon, by Sally Gardner, is set in a fictional country much like this one, but with a twist. The world that 15 year-old Standish Treadwell lives in exists as a 'what if' scenario… a bleak totalitarian world that resembles what might have been had the outcome of the war gone a slightly different path.
Standish is caught up on the machinations of the totalitarian 'Motherland' whose ambitions to reach the moon are pursued at the expense of its citizens. In the book, the moon landing is similarly a symbolic accomplishment for the government, a demonstration of its technological and military prowess. As an escape Standish and his only friend Hector fantasize about launching their own rocket. Bypassing the moon altogether, they set their sights on "Juniper", an imaginary planet which embodies their desire to transcend the terror of their world, in favour of a new one full of possibility and hope.

I vividly remember my introduction to the poetry of e.e. cummings, via a film called "The Boy Who Liked Deer", shown to our class in Junior High. I can't remember the reason we were shown it, but the trauma it inflicted is still fresh in my mind. I'm not going to spoil the story (you can watch it here, but seriously, this recommendation comes with some heavy trigger warnings) but I will say the poem is by overshadowed by the heavy-handed emotional tragedies that two characters experience.
It took finding a reference to his work in The Perks of Being a Wallflower to make me finally work through my aversion and give e.e. cummings another try. Thankfully, e.e. fares better in this book. While Charlie's English Teacher provides a lot of off-curriculum book recommendations, he discovers e.e. outside of the classroom via Mary-Elizabeth, who gives him collection of the author's poetry. It does take some convincing, however, for Charlie to finally commit to reading it.
I also came across yet another, if slightly oblique, reference. In Matched, the main character Cassia is secretly introduced to the work of Dylan Thomas, but in an interview author Ally Condie speculates that Cassia would also most likely have been a fan of e.e. cummings, among others, had she lived in this time.
So what is it about e.e. cummings?
Experimenting with line and word spacing, and writing in lowercase before it was cool, cummings was one of the literary pioneers in the early 20th Century who broke conventions of English language; how it could be used, and what it could mean. You can find more about him through our resources in the e-library. We also have a healthy collection of his poems in various collections.
In the end, I decided to revisit "In Just", a poem in celebration of spring. Admittedly, it's not my favourite poem by the author, but definitely not deserving of the, ah, 'critique' it receives from the boy who liked deer.

Maintaining freedom of expression requires a constant effort. It's important to recognize our freedoms, and at the same time to be aware of the challenges they face. Just have a look at the lengthy list of books challenged in Canada for a reminder of just how fragile this freedom is, and the importance of continual vigilance to preserve it.
The Freedom to Read Week contest (deadline for submissions: Thursday, February 20) is a great opportunity to act on this right, and to consider what is at stake.
Not surprisingly, the dangerous friction between freedom and censorship has been explored by many authors. Here is a small selection of quotes that will hopefully inspire you in your own reflections.
Stopping leaks is a new form of censorship.-Julian Assange
I resent the fact that a parental warning sticker has to be included on an album as cover art. To me that's censorship.
-Jeff Buckley
You seldom get a censorship attempt from a 14-year-old boy. It's the adults who get upset.
-Robert Cormier
[from her Newberry Award acceptance speech] Submitting to censorship is to enter the seductive world of 'The Giver': the world where there are no bad words and no bad deeds. But it is also the world where choice has been taken away and reality distorted. And that is the most dangerous world of all.
-Lois Lowry
A nice, easy place for freedom of speech to be eroded is comics, because comics are a natural target whenever an election comes up.-Neil Gaiman
Reading can be a road to freedom or a key to a secret garden, which, if tended, will transform all of life.
- Katherine Paterson
Torch every book.
Burn every page.
Char every word to ash.
Ideas are incombustible.
And therein lies your real fear. -Ellen Hopkins
The burning of a book is a sad, sad sight, for even though a book is nothing but ink and paper, it feels as if the ideas contained in the book are disappearing as the pages turn to ashes and the cover and binding--which is the term for the stitching and glue that holds the pages together--blacken and curl as the flames do their wicked work. When someone is burning a book, they are showing utter contempt for all of the thinking that produced its ideas, all of the labor that went into its words and sentences, and all of the trouble that befell the author . . .
-Lemony Snicket, The Penultimate Peril
Let children read whatever they want and then talk about it with them. If parents and kids can talk together, we won't have as much censorship because we won't have as much fear.
-Judy Blume
An attack upon our ability to tell stories is not just censorship - it is a crime against our nature as human beings.
-Salman Rushdie
A good head and good heart are always a formidable combination. But when you add to that a literate tongue or pen, then you have something very special.
- Nelson Mandela
If you're a Whovian, I don't have to explain the significance of November 23rd. To those not yet initiated, this date marks the premiere of the 50th Anniversary special episode: The Day of the Doctor. If you're new to the phenomenon of Doctor Who, long-time fan Neil Gaiman recently shared a succinct synopsis of the show so you can dive right in:
"No, look, there's a blue box. It's bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. It can go anywhere in time and space and sometimes even where it's meant to go. And when it turns up, there's a bloke in it called The Doctor and there will be stuff wrong and he will do his best to sort it out and he will probably succeed 'cause he's awesome. Now sit down, shut up, and watch 'Blink'."
In another post, Gaiman expands on his thoughts on the literary quality of the series:
"Doctor Who has never pretended to be hard science-fiction. At best, Doctor Who is a fairytale, with fairytale logic, about this wonderful man in this big blue box, who at the beginning of every story lands somewhere there's a problem."
The appeal to Doctor Who naturally extends to lovers of fiction (writers and readers). From a wardrobe that is bigger on the inside, to the wibbly wobbly act of Tessering, many books offer similar mind, space and time-bending experiences.
Over the years, a number of celebrated authors have contributed stories—in both television and book form—including Douglas Adams, Jenny Colgan and Neil Gaiman.
Fans of the series also include our recently re-elected mayor Nahed Nenshi. In our centennial publication, His Worship wrote how he devoured every copy of the Doctor Who novels he could get his hands on.
"One of the things I really loved were science fiction novels and in particular I was a fan, and have been for a long time, of the British science fiction show Dr. Who," ...
"There must be hundreds of Dr. Who paperbacks and I would always be awaiting them. I would always know which ones the Forest Lawn library had and which ones I had read.
"Whatever was there I would grab so I would read them wildly out of sequence which was ok because they were self-contained stories."
In anticipation of the 50th Anniversary episode, Penguin Books commissioned 11 writers to come up with short stories. These were published monthly as e-books, one for each for one generation of the Doctor. So far these are only available as ebooks for sale, but hopefully will be added to our collection soon. In the meantime, you can check out the links below for samples of each writer's story, courtesy of The Guardian, as well as interviews where they speak about their inspiration and enthusiasm for their particular Doctor:
Eoin Colfer - A Big Hand For The Doctor
Michael Scott - The Nameless City
Marcus Sedgwick - The Spear of Destiny
Philip Reeve - The Roots of Evil
Patrick Ness - Tip of the Tongue
Richelle Mead - Something Borrowed
Malorie Blackman - Ripple Effect
Charlie Higson - The Beast of Babylon
Derek Landy - The Mystery of the Haunted Cottage
Neil Gaiman - Nothing O'Clock

How do you find somewhere that is figuratively in the middle of nowhere? Even worse, what if the place in question is also literally nowhere, except in the pages of the book?
As Easy As Falling Off the Face of the Earth, by Charlotte Perkins is a comically disastrous travelogue. The journey kicks off in the town of New Pêche, where 16 year old Ry - on his way to summer camp- arrives after mistakenly getting off the train in the middle of the Montana wilderness, setting off an escalating series of travel misadventures.
I scoured the map, but couldn't see any town in Montana by that name. Perkins' observation that Pêche is French for Peach is a red herring, as further sleuthing revealed that it's also French for fishing. And there IS a town called Whitefish in Montana….
Searching for places gets a bit trickier in speculative fiction. Place names, and sometimes even the geography, can change, but these locations can still be teased out.
District 12 of The Hunger Games is located somewhere in the Appalachian region of what is currently the United States. In the film versions, a full-scale version of the district was created in Henry River Mill Creek, North Carolina. Like Harry Potter, this has resulted in an adjunct tourism industry, complete with tours and camps (I don't know that this would be my idea of a relaxing vacation). If you're really keen you can even buy it!
The New Orleans described in Ship Breaker is, to date, a far cry from the city as it exists now. The hulking shells of freighters that fill the shoreline can be found in other locales, however. A landscape that author Paolo Bacigalupi may have envisioned currently exists in Chittagong, Bangladesh and was documented in a stunning series by photographer Edward Burtynsky.
The precise terrestrial location of Zone Seven in the tyrannical 'Mother Land' is left vague in Sally Gardner's Maggot Moon. The lunar landscape, on the other hand, is described in vivid detail as the regime celebrates the imminent moon landing. The fate of this landing and those of Standish and his friend Hector become increasingly intertwined in this tense and heartbreaking book.
Recently I found out about a new version of The Little Prince, the classic story by Antoine De Saint-Exupéry.The Little Prince: The New Adventures is a graphic novel series which, it is prominently stressed in the promotions, is approved by the Estate of Saint-Exupéry and is in the spirit of the original. A new cartoon has also been produced, currently playing at Calaway Park in their new Cinemagic 3D feature. Both have been developed with the noble goal of bringing this classic character into the 21st Century.
I have to admit, I don't know how I feel about this. No, actually, I DO know that how I feel -strongly- is that this is all kinds of wrong. I've already had part of my childhood ruined by the Star Wars prequels (help me J.J. Abrams, you're my only hope!), and Michael Bay's take on Transformers, so admittedly I'm a little sensitive on the topic... I thought if there was one unassailable territory of my childhood it would be guarded by The Little Prince.
In the new adventures, the Prince and his plucky sidekick, Fox (really?) go from planet to planet, stopping the base villian Snake and his gang of Gloomies (REALLY!?!?) as they hatch all sorts of dastardly plots. I take issue mainly with the complexity of the characters being reduced to simplistic attributes of either 'good' or 'evil'. Snake being cast as a villian fundamentally changes one of the most complicated and pivotal scenes of the original book, and I'm distressed that anyone who reads it after the new adventures will miss out on debating the motivations and the outcomes of the snake's actions.
But maybe I'm just not thinking about this in the right light... After all, it is introducing the character to a new audience, one that then may come across the original. As Moe has written in another blog, classic stories are regularly revisited and brought up to date for new audiences, sometimes quite well. Putting aside the original source material for a moment, the stories of the new series are actually not that bad, although a bit repetitive, and the artwork is delightful.
So what do you think? Should I just calm down and be more open to this attempt at taking this story into an exciting new direction, or do you think this is a poorly considered capitalization on the original story? Let me know about other revisions of classic stories that have or haven't worked for you.
Although stories often veer off into wildly imaginative terrains, they often set off from real life spaces. Whether peculiar, mundane or unexpected, these places are nonetheless imbued with potential and serve as important gateways into the constructed literary worlds. These places are created in collaboration between the imaginations of the writer and reader, but comparing this vision with the reality can also offer added insight. With this in mind, I thought I would try to track down some of these points of departure.
Vancouver's Cassiar Connector, which serves as the entrance way to the realm of the Half World, was pretty easy to locate, thanks to some rather specific instructions the antagonist, Mr. Glueskin, gives our heroine.
…"Where was I? Ahhh, yes. If you ever want to see your mummy again, and so on and so forth, leave the house immediately and proceed to the Cassiar Connector. Enter the tunnel that is farthest west. I really don't know where you'll end up if you go through the wrong Gate. So PAY ATTENTION!" he roared.
"West side," Melanie sobbed.
"Good girl," the vile voice soothed. "You'll find there are numerous doors lining the inside wall. Go through Door Number Four! Get it? Door Four! Your prize-winning entry into Half-World!"
Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book is inspired by an experience of a cemetery near his childhood home. As he recounts in the foreword to the book:
"The idea had been so simple, to tell the story of a boy raised in a graveyard, inspired by one image: my infant son, Michael – who was two, and is now twenty-five, the age I was then, and is now taller than I am – on his tricycle, pedaling through the graveyard across the road in the sunshine, past the grave I once thought had belonged to a witch."
London's Kings Cross Station became one of the most famous rail terminals in the world after Harry Potter used it as the starting point of his journey to Hogwarts. It is now a tourist destination for countless Potter fans who continue to flock there in search of platform 9 ¾. In honour of the literary homage, a luggage cart was installed halfway through the wall. However, as intrepid fans have noted, the platform isn't quite in the same place as mentioned in the books. Rowling admits her memory was a bit foggy on this detail, and had based it on another nearby station.
The Impassable Wilderness, otherwise known as Forest Park in Portland Oregon, is the world that Prue has to enter in order to rescue her baby brother, along with many other quests and adventures in Wildwood.
As long as Prue could remember, every map she had ever seen of Portland and the surrounding countryside had been blotted with a large, green patch in the centre, stretching like a growth of moss from the northwest corner to the southwest, and labeled with the mysterious initials "I.W."
Even in real life, the forest lives up to its literary moniker, leaving so much to the imagination.
Fiction has always been a vital part of the Sci-Fi equation, and literature regularly figures into the plots of classic and contemporary TV series. Think of Mark Twain's visits to the Star Trek Universe, Data's obsession with Sherlock Holmes, or The Doctor's interest in pulp fiction (no spoilers here, check out the Angels Take Manhattan finale in the 7th season... coming to the library soon!).
Some of the crossovers aren't as conventional, and extend into the lives of the actors themselves. Looking at the line up for the upcoming 2013 Comic Expo, I came across an interesting tidbit about Nathan "Mal" Fillion. In addition to his work on Firefly, and later shows like Castle and Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, this former Edmontonian is co-founder of Kids Need to Read, a non-profit organization which aspires to provide underfunded libraries with more books!
Another Expo guest, comic legend Stan Lee, recently formed the Stan Lee Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting literacy, cultural awareness and artistic diversity throughout the arts (as if his 50+ years of output through Marvel Comics didn't already provide enough encouragement...)
Across the pond, the BBC has launched a series of storytelling segments by some of the U.K.'s biggest celebrities, including -naturally - cast members from Dr. Who, such as John Barrowman (also a guest of the Expo). Come on, who hasn't wanted a bedtime story told by The Master, or Captain Jack (???)
And then, there's Levar Burton: As a long time fan of his run on Reading Rainbow, as well as his turn as Chief Engineer Geordi Laforge on Star Trek: TNG, nothing could prepare my 15 year-old self for the mind bending moment when the two shows / universes paradoxically combined in one glorious episode!
Mind bending in an entirely different way is Leonard Nimoy's, ah, unique rendition of Tolkien's The Hobbit. Much more concise than Peter Jackson's take, but just as exhilarating an experience!

Select Route:
This route is atypical for the Red. Not a jug haul by any means. Start by traversing in from the left on a crimp rail to reach a jug at the base of a crack/flake. From the jug, find very thin feet and work your way up into the flake (crux). From the flake, aim for a large pocket, find a way to get up on a large jug and then figure out a way to reach the next jug up and left. From here, the climbing eases up as the holds are very positive and the climbing is straight forward. You may want to consider stick clipping the 2nd bolt as there may be potential for ground fall if you blow it clipping the 2nd bolt.
From Amarillo Sunset, 5.11b, continue walking left along the cliff. Drop down into the gully and use a hand rope to climb back up to the other side. Samurai is at the top of the hand line on the right.

Trayvon Martin murdered twice, first by a racist criminal, then by a racist criminal system
by Michael Coard
So you know you really don't need to worry. Maybe he ran into a cute girl. Maybe one of his buddies called him on the cell phone he was carrying and told him about an NBA party being held by some cool neighborhood youngsters.
Although you tell yourself you don't really need to worry, you begin to worry anyway. And that's because a few hours have turned into several hours. And the nighttime has turned into the daytime. So you call the local police department's Missing Persons Unit, but they don't have any info. So then you call 911, and the cops ask you for a description.
Shortly afterward, they show up with a photo of a bloody-mouth kid lying dead on a morgue stretcher. Toe-tagged as John Doe. But he had his cell phone with him. And the police had found it on him. And the names and numbers of his family are in it. But the cops never called you or anyone else in it to ask anything.
However, they did ask you if the battered corpse in that photo is your son. All you can do is slump to the floor, devastated by all-consuming shock and despair, and then drag yourself to your phone, call his mother, and, unable to say anything more, simply tell her "(our child) is gone." Your innocent, unarmed boy. Murdered. With a gaping gunshot blast to the chest. Gone.
That can't be. He just went to 7-Eleven. He just went to buy some Skittles and an iced tea. But it can be, and it is. He was murdered. He is gone. Forever. But imagine that it wasn't Trayvon Martin and his family who it happened to. Imagine instead that it was your son, your grandson, your nephew or your little brother. Now what?
Well, before we figure out what to do, let's start with what happened. It all began on the evening of Feb. 26 in Sanford, Florida, 20 miles north of Orlando. Three witnesses said they heard the 140 pound, 17-year-old Trayvon cry for help and then heard a sequence of sounds that contradicted the 240 pound, 28-year-old George Zimmerman.
And one of the three specifically mentioned that the crying stopped immediately after hearing Zimmerman's Kel Tek 9 mm dead-on, upper center mass shot. That's probably because humans stop crying after they're murdered. While Trayvon lay face down in the grass, the still armed Zimmerman was standing straddled over the kid's lifeless body. That was the first time the child was murdered, and it was by a racist criminal.
A witness mentioned that the crying stopped immediately after hearing Zimmerman's Kel Tek 9 mm dead-on, upper center mass shot. That's probably because humans stop crying after they're murdered. (A police dispatcher had tried to convince the witness that it was Zimmerman's voice she heard crying. – ed.)
He was murdered a second time, and that was by a racist criminal system. The self-appointed block watch captain who continued to stalk Trayvon despite a police order to the contrary, who exited his vehicle despite no criminal activity by the unarmed child who was outweighed by 100 pounds, who confronted him, and who then shot him was not arrested because, in the words of Sanford Police Chief Bill Lee, Zimmerman had a "squeaky clean" record and claimed self-defense.
But it wasn't squeaky clean at all. In fact, he had been arrested, charged and prosecuted in July 2005 for assaulting an Orange County police officer. The lead offense was the felony "Resisting Officer With Violence – Battery On Law Enforcement" and the second was a misdemeanor. But, for some strange – i.e., white-privilege – reason, and despite the officer's sworn affidavit accusing Zimmerman of the violent assault, the county prosecutor on June 15, 2006, agreed to enroll Zimmerman into a program similar to Pennsylvania's Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition, which in both (and other) states is only for "non-violent first offenders." In Florida, it's called Pre-Trial Diversion.
Once a defendant completes that often less-than-one-year program, the arrest record is technically expunged. Contrary to media reports, however, Zimmerman's case was never dismissed. It was simply hidden – unless of course you have a computer and check the county court clerk's public website.
Chief Lee continued to systemically murder Trayvon and zealously defend Zimmerman by stating, "If someone asks you, 'Hey, do you live here?' is it OK for you to jump on them and beat the crap out of somebody?' It's not." First of all, the eye- and ear-witnesses tell a story completely different from Zimmerman's. Moreover, self-defense, or what lawyers properly call "justification," can't be reasonably claimed by aggressors, especially aggressors like Zimmerman who follow a person, confront that person, outweigh that person by 100 pounds, and outgun that person by possessing a high-powered firearm compared to Skittles and iced tea.
Self-defense, or what lawyers properly call "justification," can't be reasonably claimed by aggressors, especially aggressors like Zimmerman who follow a person, confront that person, outweigh that person by 100 pounds, and outgun that person by possessing a high-powered firearm compared to Skittles and iced tea.
And this bullshit justification claim is no less bullshit despite Florida's cowboy "Stand Your Ground" law. This law, which in 2005 became the first of its kind among 16 others in the nation, basically means that a person has no duty to retreat outside in public even if he's easily able to in response to danger just as a person has no duty to retreat inside at home in response to such danger. But that shoot 'em up law doesn't justify Zimmerman's murderous vigilantism, especially after he responded yes when a 911 dispatcher asked him, "Are you following (Trayvon)," and then told him to stop immediately because "We don't need you to do that."
The aggressive Zimmerman, who had made 46 wanna-be cop assist calls to the Sanford police department during the past 14 months, had such a bad reputation among neighbors at the complex where he killed Trayvon that they had filed complaints. In fact, he was known to go door-to-door asking residents to "be on the look-out," primarily for "young Black men."
The chief wasn't the first to bring racism to the department. It already had a sordid history before he took over in May of last year. On July 16, 2005, another unarmed Black child, 16-year-old Travares McGill, was murdered inside his car in the parking lot of another apartment complex by two white security guards. One was the 28-year-old son of a longtime former Sanford police officer and the other was a 26-year-old Sanford police deputy volunteer.
Neither was charged with murder but only with mere manslaughter and mere firing into an occupied vehicle. They, like Zimmerman, claimed self-defense. All charges were later dismissed by a judge who claimed there was a lack of evidence – despite the fact that the kid was shot in the back.
Furthermore, the same officer in charge of the current Trayvon tragedy also headed the investigation of the December 2010 case of Sherman Ware, a defenseless homeless Black man, who was viciously attacked by 21-year-old Justin Collison, the son of a bitch, I mean the son of a white Sanford police lieutenant, Chris Collison. That same investigating officer refused to arrest that cop's son – despite the fact that the brutal assault was videotaped.
It wasn't until after a local TV station broke the story that the son was finally arrested seven weeks later – and that was after the lieutenant's family had paid off the homeless man in an unsuccessful attempt to get the charges dropped. That's not all when it comes to racist law enforcement or lack thereof in "good ol' boy" Seminole County.
Shortly after the July 1991 claim of a crack-addicted white female that she had been gang raped, the county sheriff quickly led a raid of 29 deputies into the Black community of Midway and immediately arrested and charged four Black men who he described as "animals." But all charges were later dismissed after the drug-hazed woman finally admitted that she had made up the entire story.
Chief Lee stated a few days ago that he will soon submit his investigative report in Trayvon's case to Brevard and Seminole County State Attorney Norm Wolfinger, after which the state's formal investigation will begin. But don't hold your breath. A state spokesperson said that murder and manslaughter investigations have been known to take up to a couple years. What? In this case with these facts?
I know that you racists out there will say that, although Trayvon's death is obviously horrible, it's relatively minor compared to the many so-called "Black-on-Black" murders throughout the country. And I'd agree that you have a point as far as the numbers are concerned. However, there's a big difference. When Tyrone in the hood kills Jamal over a drug dispute, the cops don't refuse to arrest him. And the DAs don't refuse to prosecute him. And the juries don't refuse to find him guilty. And the judges don't refuse to sentence him to a lengthy jail term. That, my racist friend, is the big difference.
While stalking Trayvon and talking to the 911 dispatcher, Zimmerman said, "These assholes always get away with this." Well, you know what? He was absolutely right about that. But, like all good things, all bad things also come to an end. And justice must prevail this time around so this racist criminal doesn't "get away" with the first murder and so this racist criminal justice system doesn't "get away" with the second murder.

Now here's what you should – I mean must – do. Call the Sanford police chief's office at (407) 688-5070 and ask why he didn't arrest Zimmerman immediately based on the facts – e.g., a stalker's confronting and shooting death of an unarmed child who was outweighed by 100 pounds – that everyone agrees are undisputed. And call State Attorney Wolfinger at (321) 617-7548 and ask how soon he will file criminal charges based on those and other undisputed facts. Also, call U.S. Attorney Robert O'Neill at (813) 274-6000 and ask him how soon he will file civil rights violation charges based on those and other undisputed facts.

As you throw around the "white privilege" argument, please remember tha George Zimmerman is apparently Hispanic, according to his family.↓
The term of 'white privilege' was provided as an example hence the denotation of "i.e.". Additionally white privilege does not have to mean WHITE but rather the construction of the racial narrative within the United States of the black and white dichotomy. While Zimmerman's family self-defines, and this I have not checked, as Hispanic bear in mind that again the notion here is of the construction of Black as the quintessential and most problematic "other".↓
You oh so conveniently point out he's hispanic but has a white father who is a judge :/. So let's get it straig before you want to pile all "minorites" into one category, he's of another race opposite of the young man he killed, and obviously has a deep rooted hatred to refer to them as f&*^%$ COONS :/↓
Barak Obama's mother is white too. I hate to complicate things, but all this me versus you crap is old. Yeah, have at you, sfbayview, quite a few whites in your supporting protest photos. The political landscape is not simple. In fact, if you really want to effect change, attack simple. Destroy stereotypes.↓
My heart breaks for this family. Trayvon was murdered! This "psycho cop wanna be" took things way too far. Thinking that his "criminal justice class" and "stand your ground law" could allow him to commit murder is just sickening. If law enforcement allows him to use these excuses to commit murder, then the justice system is broken beyond repair. Prayers going up for Trayvon's parents and family. I am so for your loss. :(↓
Zimmerman was instructed to not follow Martin by the police dispatcher. He said no.
Martin was instructed to run by his girlfriend. He said no.
Oh yes, they fought. A cop wanna-be and NO LIMIT NIGGA.
Happens all the time, every day in every city, called Black on Black crime, when a gun is trump.
If your heart broke for every person murdered in 2012 in the United States, and most of them are Black, it would be finer than regolith, and twice as abrasive.↓
Jamal Ellis
Apparently this kid was not the Saint you make him out to be in your article.↓
Teen aged punks are present in every culture; it is a phase of life. I made explosives, but survived interrogation, not a Zimmerman in sight, but some very pissed off adults.↓
Jamal Ellis
Your article has quite a bit of incorrect information. This young man was not a good student, in fact he was currently suspended from school for violating the schools illegal drug policy. Sporting a gold grill, at least one large tattoo that is commonly worn by gang bangers, and a twitter account titled "No Limit Nigga" , this young man was anything but a model student. Students that physically assault their school bus drivers generally speaking have anger issues. From all the evidence collected by the Police, it appears as though Trayvon attacked Mr. Zimmerman. Too bad for Trayvon that his victim was armed and protected himself.↓

Trayvon Martin
Jamal Ellis, I can tell that you and the blood thirst Zimmerman are related through your ideology for stalking and murdering the innocent. you are a disgrace to the human race. However, I am praying for you that what happen to the innocent boy does not happen to either you, or any of your family members…even though a part of me would love for it to happen to you so that you can feel the pain the poor family is going through.↓
Great point Sista Souljah. You are praying that it doesn't happen, but would LOVE IT if it did? If another 'innocent child' was gunned down so that Mr. Ellis would feel the same despair? What is it exactly that you are praying to with that thought?
Yikes…you are either very confused or just not very bright.↓
Trayvon Martin
Jamal Ellis, where were you the night I was stalked and murdered because of the colour of my skin ?? How could I attacked a man that is twice my size with a pack of sweet and a tin of juice…knowing that he was armed with a gun and could have strangled me with his one hand.
Zimmerman thought he could have murdered me and cite the stand your ground statute and got a way with it.But he and people like tou Ellis have underestimate the voice of the black, white and all the other race you can think of. My death will haunt your blood sucking friend until the day he died.↓
Jamal Elis
To Answer your question, nigger, I was at your moms house fucking her in the ass. Rest in Hell, Nigger↓
jack mehoff
nigger deserved it↓
Perhaps the parents could have taken their eyes off the game for a few minutes and paid attention to all the police cars and commotion right outside their door. Also might be a good idea for folks to stop bonding with the voice screaming on the ground and ask why the person was screaming.↓
Word is that Zimmerman helped raise awareness and otherwise sought answers in the Sherman Ware case. Is that consistent with the characterization of racist vigilante?↓
Don't be passing judgement until all the facts are in.
Don't be lazy and think as you're told.
Innocent until proven guilt, remember?
You are not machines. Don't think like one.
"You will recall the incident of the beating of the black homeless man Sherman Ware on December 4, 2010 by the son of a Sanford police officer. The beating sparked an outrage in the community but there were very few that stepped up to do anything about it. I would presume the inaction was because of the fact that he was homeless not because he was black. Do you know the individual that stepped up when no one else in the black community would? Do you know who spent tireless hours putting flyers on the cars of persons parked in the churches of the black community? Do you know who waited for the church]goers to get out of church so that he could hand them fliers in an attempt to organize the black community against this horrible miscarriage of justice? Do you know who helped organize the City Hall meeting on January 8th, 2011 at Sanford City Hall?? That person was GEORGE ZIMMERMAN. Ironic isn't it?"
"NBC News is being excoriated in some circles – with competitor Fox News Channel leading the charge – for selectively editing audio of the 911 call placed by George Zimmerman just before he killed Trayvon Martin."
Read, think. act.↓
Richard Blaine
Look at this work of complete fiction with what's known about the case now. Zimmerman was the one with a fractured nose, bruised face, black eyes and lacerated scalp from Trayvon's violent unprovoked attack. Zimmerman is the one who, according to the closest eye witness who was on the ground on his back with Trayvon 'no limit niga' Martin on top of him beating him. Zimmerman was the one with grass satins on his back while there was none on Trayvon. Trayvon on the other hand was the one with injuries to his knuckles from repeatedly punching Zimmerman in the face. Another dead thug in the ground is a good thing.↓

Globalization + the World Trade Movement: good or bad?
Post: #1
Globalization + the World Trade Movement: good or bad?
Mohau Pheko
Far from being bad news for Africa, the July collapse of World Trade
Organisation talks aimed at fostering a global free trade regime is
actually an unexpected bonus. Out of the breakdown in negotiations
should come a new trading system that is beneficial to Africa's
women, says Mohau Pheko.
The Collapse of the WTO Doha negotiations are good for Africa and
women. This is an opportunity for Africa to move away from the myth
that the Doha Round was a 'developmental round'. Nothing could be
further from the truth. From the start, the aim of the developed
countries was to push for greater market openings from the developing
countries while making minimal concessions on their part. Invoking
development was a cynical ploy.
The break down of the talks is a turning point for Africa to
contribute to developing a multilateral trading system based on
developing Africa, women's rights and sustainable development.
During July, in anticipation of the July 27-28 meeting of the World
Trade Organisation's General Council, a major rescue effort was
mounted to save the "Doha Round" of global trade negotiations from
collapse. The most prominent of these efforts took place at the G8
Summit in St. Petersburg, where leaders of the world's most powerful
economies called for a successful conclusion to the round, painting
it as a "historic opportunity to generate economic growth, create
potential for development, and raise living standards across the world."
The collapse of the Doha negotiations offers Africa a unique
opportunity to review and reconsider the multilateral trading system
as a whole, and to start with a new approach to a global trading
system that will promote social and gender justice, women's
empowerment and environmental sustainability. It also offers Africa
some breathing space to reclaim the policy space that has been taken
away in the process of negotiations.
Africa can expose the hyprocrisy of the lopsided trade in
agriculture. Even if the United States had conceded to the terms of
the WTO Director General's compromise on cutting its domestic
support, this would still have left it with a massive US$20 billion
worth of allowable subsidies. Even if the European Union had agreed
to phase out its export subsidies, this would still have left it with
55 billion euros in other forms of export support. In return for such
minimal concessions, the US, and EU, and other developed countries
like Japan wanted radically reduced tariffs for their agricultural
exports in Africa and developing country markets.
If these talks had been brought to a conclusion on such lopsided
terms, it would result in African countries slashing farm tariffs
while preventing them from maintaining food security. This is a
recipe for massive expanded hunger and threatens to further
impoverish millions of Africans.
The current deadlock was caused by developed countries, mainly the
US, who were not willing or able to come up with steeper cuts in farm
subsides. The collapse of the Doha negotiations creates a momentum
for Africa to review the past negotiations and analyse the flaws in
the WTO system in its entirety. The current neoliberal approach to
the multilateral trading system subordinates the needs of African
women and men to corporate-driven interests.
The bias of the Doha negotiations serves the private interests of the
biggest corporations instead of benefiting the majority of Africa's
people. Recent World Bank [1] and other studies such as that from the
Carnegie Endowment Centre [2] highlight the fact that the current
trade liberalisation agenda is not working for the majority of women
and men, particularly those living in impoverished African countries,
and that especially women "tend to be among the most vulnerable to
adverse impacts" [3].
Trade can be a medium of development, but trade liberalisation is not
a panacea to development, poverty eradication and gender equality.
The time has come for Africa to take leadership and start with a new
approach to a multilateral trading systems that will genuinely
promote equitable, gender just and sustainable societies that benefit
all women and men.
For this, international trade policy must be constrained and bound by
existing international agreements that promote human rights and
women's rights, ecological sustainability and human dignity and must
aim to end poverty and promote well-being.
Trade policies can no longer be dictated by the interests of big
corporations. Any further WTO negotiations should not undermine
governments' commitments to implement domestic Bills or Rights and
United Nations Conventions.

What is the role of women in world trade?
Compared to 50 years ago, women represent an increasingly higher
number of the world's labour force, with many studies placing the
number at over 50 percent. However, this doesn't include women who
work in the informal sector or the unpaid activities of women at the
household level. On a broader level, women's access to health care
and education, for example, are profoundly influenced by national
economic policy – meaning that if international economic best
practice doesn't take into account gender issues, then women are
How does trade have an impact on women's rights?
Trade liberalisation, which refers to the untaxed flow of goods and
services between countries, has had positive and negative influences.
Increasingly, the negative impacts of trade liberalisation, has made
trade a central feature of advocacy work by gender activists. Women
have gained jobs in the manufacturing sectors, but these jobs may not
lead to positive social outcomes as women often work longer hours and
are paid low wages. The opening of markets and the influx of cheaper
goods have in some cases destroyed livelihoods, and it is women who
have borne the brunt of these changes.
Have women's rights been considered in international trade bodies?
The World Trade Organisation, an international rules-based and member
driven organization which oversees a large number of agreements
defining the "rules of trade" between its member states, has long
been criticized for not including the voices of women, preferring to
view trade as gender neutral. Moreover, its main decision making
bodies are male-dominated. To this extent, nothing has been done to
take into account or lessen the negative impact of trade
liberalization on women's rights. Despite increasingly loud voices,
the WTO refuses to reform itself, has unclear rules about its
decision making and operates in manner that is non-transparent.
What is the core of the problem? – Trade or the global economic
system in which we conduct trade.
There is nothing wrong with trade per se; in fact the cornerstone of
human society is based on trade. To human beings, trade is a tool for
survival. However, a problem arises when one group of people uses
trade to exploit and oppress another group of people. From a feminist
standpoint, this normally happens in a patriarchal society. A
patriarchal society is a society based on the belief that women are
inferior to men. The global economic system is shaped and influenced
by patriarchal logic. Indirectly and directly, the global economic
system cultivates and encourages misogynists attitudes in traders,
which nine out of ten times tend to be men.
What is the Alternative? Or, as patriarchal society puts the
question: What do women want?
Women want to be treated with dignity and respect. Lots of feminists
have said this before, but women want an end to sex discrimination by
job definition and sex-role stereotyping in the media. Like any
"normally" functioning group of people on the planet, women want
equity and self-management . Women want a good economy that
accomplishes central economic functions without exploitation of
women, people of colour and the environment; but most importantly,
women want an economy that meet people's needs and develop their
potential, to paraphrase Michael Albert.
What's the solution to these problems?
Most governments are already signatories to a host of international
agreements committing them to gender equality. These include the UN's
Beijing Platform for Action, which requires that governments correct
imbalances that any policy, including economic policy, might create.
Economic policies are often fostered on countries by International
Financial Institutions and donors. Officially, consultation in the
implementation of these policies does take place, but in reality
economic policy should be formulated through a democratic process
that takes into account the voices of local people and considers the
existing power relations within society.

12 Oz Bottle (At the least an older bottle). Weak bretty nose; sour coconut, lush apple, banana cream and light yuzu zest. Bits of malty sugar. Pours a deep gold, with pale edges and a rocky soap of white. Flavor is generally pretty mild. First, some tart sour Brett lemon juice, then a wash of bland sugar and finally a reminiscence of hops. I don't believe this was intended to be a Brett beer, but me loving accidental Brett beers, this is interesting. It's possible there's a good bit of Lacto in here too and I'm just not picking up on it directly. There is some unsettling melon bitterness in the smack, but it's not terrible. There's really nothing happening behind the Brett, so unique yeast flavors or malt character. Instead, just a plain base of a now dryly, refreshing Brett beer. Higher alcohol makes this unique. Definitely some Asian pear and green tomato further down. A tasty accident. Thanks Sean!

Decent, hazy amber color with a thick off-white head that settles down to a skim in rather short order.
Smell is big. If I had to guess, I would say it was a big Belgian Abbey Ale. It's got that same sweet yet alcoholy, friuty nose to it. Maybe candy sugar.
Taste is, uh... Hmmm.... Smooth at the start, then chemically/harsh/acidic. This doesn't remind me of a Belgium Abbey Ale anymore. But the aftertaste diminishes quickly. I try another sip. Tastes like a Geuze, sort of. Tastes like someone put lemon Smarties in my beer. I'm not sure that I like it.
Mouthfeel is moderate with good carbonation, but I don't think I'll pick up another bottle of this.

pours out dark brown, low head retention, due to abv 9. Malty sweetness, some roastiness, caramel prevalent in the aroma. Malt dominate the flavoring when still chilled lending to the roastiness, and caramel, some cherry sneeks in after chill is gone. medium bodied with low to medium carbonation. Nice once in a while drink with the abv being upwards of 8.7-9%, the only reason for the drinkability being 3.5. Although by the style guidelines I am not sure that this beer can be classified as a euro dark lager, abv too high but then again this is the high gravity series.

This beer pours a medium brown with not much of a head. What head there is is an off white. There is barely any nose at all on this beer. There is just a slight hint of malt smell. The taste is of alcohol and malt and almost a cherry tartness that is very subtle. The mouthfeel is good. Moderate carbonation and medium/full body. I think its a good beer but is lacking a little something in the aroma and appearance.

Golden honey. Few bubbles. No head. No lace. A fairly unique hue though. Just seems a bit inactive and boring.
Smells of bastardized dark fruits. Sour scents. Some form of toasted component is present. Nothing really provoking. Caramel. Nuts and honey is a stretch, but allowable. Subdued at best. Microbial?
The taste is pleasant. Cider like. Some sour in the finish. Grape-a-dee in the slightest. Plenty of sweet character. Nice actually. Reminds of Rossi Rhine wine at the last gulp. The appearance and smell were less than promotional in this case. I cannot say that there is any facet of this beer that would inspire me to lay into a batch and go to town. It is alright. Not something that would readily induce cravings though. If this were dodgeball, I wouldn't pick this thing first. Unless my other choices were completely ordinary. Catch my drift? Try it. It is not insignificant by any means.

Pours a medium brown with some reddish tint with a fluffy rather large head,big caramel malt aroms up front along with some brown suger and toasted grain,caramel is dominat at first hits the taste buds along with some some deep roasted malt with a strange and annoying cider-like finish really tart and wholly unexpected.I might put in the bock category be it has some because it has some of the bock characteristics,a big flavorful lager with some oddities to it but glad I tried it.

Pretzel crust brown with dark amber accents at the margins. The cap is golden ecru in color, tight-bubbled and displays a magma-like surface. A fair amount of bubbly lace affixes itself to the glass, though a portion of it melts away with time and drinking.
I like the aroma, but I can't put my finger on why that is. It's sweet and malty without being toasted in the least. Although I've never had a Euro strong lager before, this beer smells exactly what I would think such a beast would smell like. Thankfully, this is a Saaz-free zone or this could have been akin to a Euro pale lager on steroids (which would have disgusted me to no end). Words fail me, but Phi is nicely aromatic and is a pleasure to sniff.
Something vitally important was lost in the translation from aromatization to actual taste bud submersion. There's a multi-faceted flavor profile, but the various components are fighting each other tooth and nail, giving the whole thing a disjointed feel. It's much more malty than it is hoppy, but too much raw sugar has been added for my liking. Phi tastes like dark fruits (raisins, figs and dates) soaked in sugar syrup.
Sour, bitter and sweet ignore one another on the palate. That independence (as compared to the usual interdependence evident in good beer) definitely detracts. It's somewhat fruity, a little chocolatey, mildly hoppy, slighty citrusy... there's no coherence to be had. Without anything to act as a focal point, the entire flavor apparatus collapses under its own weight. On a good note, the excess sugar fills out the body and results in a smooth, slick mouthfeel. Very little evidence of the 9% ABV.
The label states that the 'divine ratio' of Phi is used in, among other things, DNA. If that's so, then the only reasonable conclusion to be reached is that New Holland failed in their attempt to faithfully recreate that ratio in the brewing of this beer. If DNA took after New Holland Phi rather than the other way around, I would be unable to relate my impressions. An amoeba can't type.

Appears an opaque dark brown with a smallish tan head. Some scattered webs of lace but the head disappears pretty quickly. Caramel, coffee and toasted malts are strong. Some dark chocolate scents in the back and a touch of dark fruit. Very interesting and complex aroma here. Taste starts off with caramel malt and a big roastiness. Maybe some coffee and chocolate notes lurking about. Roasted malt after taste that lingers for while finished up the flavor. Fairly thick body with a rich and smooth feel to it. Really great drinkability and it hides the alcohol almost completely. This is one tasty and unique beer I would drink regularly if it was around here. Not sure what style this was at all while I was drinking but I enjoyed every sip. Big thanks to Tikkigodxxx for this great brew.

(Served in a Chalice)
A-coal black with a very thin brownish head that fades quickly. Opaque body that is to dense to see through.
S- scents of coffee or black roast grains and maybe a bit of black strap molasses but no sweetness .
T- a tangy almost cider taste first impression with a sweet light carbonation tang and a roasted black malt aftertaste. Long roasted aftertaste that is very unique.
M- very watery slippery mouthfeel with a bit of astringency in the aftertaste but only in the back of the tongue no real pucker.
D- This is a very unique beer. It taste much different that I would thin a dark colored 9%abv brew would taste. It is very light and refreshing with no hop characteristics or any maltyness besides the dark roast. Its taste is not real complex but the flavors are all very strange. However I find myself reaching for another taste to try and figure out this beer. It is definitely an original recipe and I think it is worth a try.

Pours a deep chestnut brown color. Smells of roasted carmelly malts, hint of hops there too. Taste is grainy and actually a touch sour. Sour? Hmmm. Perhaps it's wood aged? That's almost what it tastes like. Supposedly this beer isn't brewed to a style, rather on the golden ratio. I'm not sure if it works. Mouthfeel is good, this is warming in the belly. It's hard to pin this beer down.

poured witha deep dark ruby red-almost brown witha thick froathy tanish head.
bready and doughy with some dark dried fruit. smooth rich mouthfeel nicely balanced. dark fruits and cherrys and raisins combined with a sugary toffee malt character. hints of a vinious winey character. lots of dark chocolate and fruit with some bitter sweet. dry and dusty in the finish (can't read my notes, i have no idea what the hell I'm talking about there).

Presented in a 12oz bottle provided courtesy of trbeer and poured into a tulip glass. Phi had a uniform dark brown color, finely wrought carbonation, and a creamy light beige head that dissolved down to a modest cap, leaving wispy lace.
Lots of aromas grace the nose. Roasty malt, light dusting of yeast, dark roast coffee, caramel-laden raisins, hint of green apples. Punch in the nose from the alcohol fumes. Complex and sometimes clashing variety of tastes. Darkly rich with java and singed malt flavors morphing to a brisk green grape tartness mixed over caramel-drizzled apples and herbal hops. Moderate yeasty note and vinous alcohol bite. Medium bodied feel with a sizzling dry tartness nipping at the tongue.
Overall, kind of like a quasi-doppelbock with a mild lambic bite. All in all, an interesting brew but one I could take in only small doses.

12oz. bottle poured into a tulip-style glass. It pours a deep black color with two fingers of light tan head. There is a little bit of lacing left on the glass. The smell has lots of roasted malt. Slightly sweet with a good dose of caramel and toffee. A little bit of alcohol in there too. The taste is also very malty. Roasted malt and espresso dominate. Very tiny hints of diacetyl and alcohol are present as well. The body is very nice and thick, but still smooth. The drinkability is great for a 9% brew. Another nice one from New Holland.

12oz bottle obtained via trade with CRJMellor. Thanks for the opportunity...
Poured into an imperial pint glass, formed a 1/4" tan head over the almost opaque dark caramel brew. Head fades to an uneven layer of bubbles pretty quickly, not unusually for a strong brew, and lacing is average to good. Aroma is dark grains, quickly giving way to strong alcohol notes. Taste is upfront sedate dark malt flavor, quickly overshadowed by dark fruit tanginess, with the slightest alcohol warming at the end, but hardly noticeable. Mouthfeel is superb for the style, and drinkability is excellent as well. Surprisingly smooth and lots of character in this one.

Pours to a brownish-copper color with a creamy tan head. Leaves a nice amount of lacing. The aroma is malty and chocolatey, with a roasty characteristic. Smells like a robust porter. Reminds me of Summit's Great Northern Porter. The flavor is roasty and chocolatey, with souring quality kinda like Bell's yeast. It is medium in body and not too bad. A drinkable brew.

Served in the 12 oz. bottle into a tulip. The color is a brown/redishness, with a wisp of beige head ringed by bubbles. The smell is a chocolatey sweetness. The taste actually has quite a bit of a disconcerting hop flavor to it, with a touch of chocolate sweetness, and to be fair, not much alcohol burn. Mouthfeel is average. As for drinkability, well maybe a couple, but there's better NH beers out there.
Thanks to deejaydan for the bottle. When I first saw the Fibonnaci number sequence as a teaser for this beer (the sequence converges to Phi, an irrational number approximately 1.61, between the previous number and the next...1.61 is also the Golden Ratio and provides a very visually appealing, classical look at 1.61:1...but hey, this is a beer review, not a mathematics lesson!!), I was definitely excited to get my hands on it. Now that I do, well...it's not quite as exciting, I'm afraid. The beer just seems like it really wants to be a dopplebock, but just falls short, mostly because the hops just really don't fit the beer. It definitely smells very nice, but the chocolate really doesn't shine through. I'm glad I gave it a try, but it's not really something I'd hunt down.

Twelve ounce brown bottle. No dates.
Deep dark chestnut brown. A rough pour produces a creamy looking light tan head that does not last very long, but leaves attractive rings of lace behind.
Some chocolate aromas mix with bready malt.
Flavours of chocolate & cola. Slight warming of the throat. Very smooth for its strength. Medium-full bodied & velvety smooth. Moderate carbonation.

12 oz bottle served cold shortly after purchase in December, 2004. Dark dark caramel in color with only a thin tan head to cover the surface. Smells of chocolate and alcohol. Mild caramel and perhaps some molasses, with a sweet almost belgian white funk to it. Tastes sweet. Caramel, plus alcohol that's not as prevalent as the smell. Rich chewy caramel molasses. Some vanilla and sour...almost cherry-like...I guess there's a bit of roast coffee in the sour? Also, chocolate malt in a reasonable amount (limited amounts make for nutty, but this is definitely chocolate). As it warms, the sour stands out more stongly. Not as good as when served cold. Medium to meduim thick body with fine bubbles that form on the tongue. A decent beer, and not one I'd turn down in the future, but not one I'd purchase again. I'll bet this one would do well with a year or two of aging, in order to settle the alcohol burn and tame the mild cherry-like sour.

Before even taking my first sample, a long time a'waiting, I must bow down before the very idea of this beer, and say it is a testament to the greatness of what's going on in American craft-brewing today, and tomorrow...just think about it...basing a beer recipe on an ancient geometrical ratio used by Leonardo, the Greeks, and Egyptians...my hat's off to NH for this cockamammie idea, Lord Love 'Em, but I reseve judgement until the brew meets my lips...
Plump, figgy color, dark and nearly opaque, with only mere crimson glimmers at the edges, a full, fuzzy, cocoa-colored cap of foam atop, very inviting, very attractive...
Arousing aroma, dark fruit, much malt, little hops, huge flavor, date, plum, raisin, herbal, and organic, big in flavor, urging the cup to genuflect to the mouth...
Sits happily on the palate, filling the whole cavity of the senses with this warm, deep, dark, sensuous flavor, rich and resonant, and it comes as no surprise what a chore it was on this beer's release to ascertain the actual style, a task which, I believe, the brewery resisted, by always eager beer geeks took their bosom...doppelbock said some, Baltic porter said others, and so many were so very sure...now that it's spent time down my throat, and has kicked around my head a bit, my reaction to that tumult remains, "who gives a care, if it tastes good, drink it!"
Admirably full-bodied, with a long, resilient finish, dark fruits stay long on the palate, and contribute mightily the memory of the flavor here...it's deliciousness, and so full and confident of character, I'm happy to see firsthand another example of the ingenuousness of MidWestern brewing at work...hail the geniuses at New Holland, long may they reign, (or, at least, expand their domain, so that others can taste their goodness firsthand!)
Many thanks to cokes, for getting me this bottle!

Pours a deep brown with a quickly fading medium brown head. Lots of chocolate malt, dark caramel and mild coffee aromas. Hops quite muted. Coffee flavors strong up front, but soon a bitterness and alcohol sweetness follow. Acidic finish. Not much balance; surely not divine. Finish is crisp and lingering. Odd mouthfeel. Light upfront, slightly thick mid-palate and sour/acidic in the back. An interesting beer. Not as balanced as I was hoping for. Citrus acidity is too powerful in the finish. This beer doesn't flow like it should. Won't try it again.

Pours out a dark, burnt tan colour with a small whitish head, though the head didn't last long. Clings to the sides of the glass upon shifting.
Smell is almost porter like, mainly roast malts, a little more subdued than the porters usually are, but still appealing.
Beginning is a heaping helping of those malts, but then a wonderful...unique hop bitter begins...and a flavour almost like dull limes, that sort of twang background to it I mean...a soft dark fruit character is also present...the finish is mildly sweet, with the rememberence of alcohol via the back of the throat, with a slight warming. Nice.
Mouthfeel is decent, it's not light, but when you start talking 9% I expect oil, and this wasn't up to that standard. Drinkability, a touch above average. For a big beer pretty easy to put down.
Overall, the first New Holland brew that I would actually buy again, and hence recommend. Good stuff.

A leading critic of plans to spend taxpayer dollars for economic development near the Mayo Clinic in Rochester said Tuesday, April 2, that she's committed to finding a way to fund the project, but not necessarily the $500 million currently being sought.
Whatever the final price tag, Rep. Ann Lenczewski, DFL-Bloomington, said she will hash out a new funding mechanism for the project during a committee meeting scheduled for April 10.
"I'm going to have something for that project," said Lenczewski, the chair of the House Tax Committee, in an interview Tuesday. "We're asking them to delineate exactly what they're asking for."
Bipartisan legislation moving through the House and Senate would have the state make available more than $500 million for infrastructure projects in the Rochester area over a 20-year period. The money would not go directly to the Mayo Clinic, but rather would fund projects that support the clinic's growth -- everything from new parks and the acquisition of land parcels to improved transportation systems.
Mayo Clinic officials have pledged to spend $3.5 billion on a project called Destination Medical Center over the next 20 years, adding that the activity will generate another $2.1 billion in investment from other private parties. The goal is to fortify the clinic's status as a global destination in Rochester for medical care.
The current bill would fund the infrastructure projects by capturing a portion of state tax revenue generated by the Mayo Clinic's growth -- a deal that Lenzcewski says would create a dangerous precedent.
Late last month, Lenczewski and Sen. Rod Skoe, DFL-Clearbrook, sent a letter to the Mayo Clinic's chief executive officer and the mayor of Rochester seeking more details about the project.

This year, on his 93 birthday, was a wonderful improvement. The shows for the most part were top notch. There were activities going on almost hourly.Lectures, ping pong tournaments, golf tournaments, and various other games.
I had been to the ports several times before so I really can't comment on the current tours.The other passengers seemed to be pleased with the offerings.We did have fun at Senor Frogs.
The front desk people were very helpful when my father left his carry on bag on the wheelchair that was used to take him on board. They kept checking and even offered to call his pharmacy for his medications. Fortunately they found it. When the dining room staff delivered a chocolate birthday cake in error they insisted upon giving him a strawberry shortcake the next night (the best ever). The staff couldn't have been nicer.
Embarkation was a breeze but disembarkation was a nightmare due to only 4 custom agents. It was a madhouse during which the celebrity bag tore and I lost my medication and one of my shoes. The pushing and shoving made it impossible to retrieve them.
I have cruised on Princess,NCL,Holland America and RCL, Celebrity has been the best.

Barbara Howe, 86, was found dead on November 1, 2012 shortly after she had been reported missing. Her 2005 red Cadillac STS was found at the Woodridge Park East Apartments in Middletown. She was last seen days before in Monroe.
The cause of death has not been released by authorities.
According to Monroe Police, detectives now have a "person of interest" but no other information has been released. They are still working closely with the prosecutor's office.
Police previously asked the public for help in the case, seeking information from anyone who may have picked up a hitchhiker or saw one in the area.
A $10,000 reward was also offered for any tip leading to the arrest and conviction of a suspect.
