Criminal Justice
Misdemeanor Trial Looms for Suspended Chicago Judge re Security Checkpoint Dispute
Posted Jan 7, 2013 11:30 AM CDT
By Martha Neil
A misdemeanor trial is looming for a Chicago area judge who was removed from the bench last year after being criminally charged in a dispute with security officers in a government building and subsequently retained by voters in November.
Cook County Circuit Judge Cynthia Brim plans to assert at her expected two-day trial in early February that she was legally insane at the time of the March 2012 incident, her lawyer, James Montgomery Sr., told an out-of-county judge at a Thursday hearing. DuPage County Judge Liam Brennan was brought in to preside over the case to avoid a potential conflict of interest with those involved in the local court system, the Chicago Tribune reports.
Brim was charged with misdemeanor battery after allegedly shoving a deputy and throwing a set of keys at the security checkpoint in the Daley Center in downtown Chicago, which houses numerous courtrooms.
A day earlier, the newspaper says, Brim had been removed from her own courtroom in the suburban Markham, Ill., courthouse after a 45-minute diatribe. She was subsequently suspended from her $182,000-a-year job, as an earlier ABAJournal.com post details.

Related: When You're Stumped on What to Give a Friend | Giving a Gift Card | Friendship Gift Books
Your neighbors are good people to get to know for a lot of reasons. It creates goodwill in your neighborhood, and also gives you a chance to make a new friend or two. Who better to connect with than the people who live by you and share a love of your city? One way to show neighbors you're interested in them as people is to give them small gifts at the holidays or other appropriate times. Here are some gift ideas that are perfect for neighbors, even if you don't know them all that well.
Gifts for Their Dog
If your neighbor is a dog lover, why not give a gift related to their pet? You could give something for the dog itself or a gift that speaks to your neighbor's love of animals. These gift ideas will help you find something unique that can be personalized.
Welcome to the Neighborhood Card and Brown Gift Bag
I love the idea of a simple gift that says welcome without being over the top. This idea from Thirty Hand Made Days is really lovely. They provide a free printout that includes space for you to write a short welcome along with your favorite schools, doctors, dentists, parks, restaurants, movie theaters, and more. This will give your new neighbor a quick reference for all those things that so long when you move, like figuring out where the nearest grocery store or coffee shop is.
Attach this card to a brown lunch bag filled with treats and your neighbor will appreciate the gesture. The treats don't even have to be homemade. You could add a bag of candy or a cupcake in there, too.
Welcome Cookies
Nothing says welcome to the neighborhood like cookies, and if you personalize them to look like mini-houses? That's even better. This cute idea comes from the Bake at 350 blog is a really clever way to say hello to someone new on the block.
While they are sure to take more time than your average batch of cookies, they will make much more impact. Bake up a dozen or so and give to a neighbor on a pretty plate.
Gift Certificates to Area Restaurants and Coffee Shops
Local Sports Team or City Sweatshirts
Tickets to Your Local Movie Theater
Homemade Coupons to Help With Chores
If you've got some older folks in your neighborhood, why not give them peace of mind? You can do this by offering up homemade coupons that promise you will do things like:
- Run to the grocery store for them
- Shovel their walk
- Help clean their house
- Take them to doctor appointments
- Drive them to the post office
Small chores like these can really help out a neighbor, and they go a long way toward developing goodwill. Giving them some homemade coupons will let them know you'll be there when they need you and will help alleviate some of the worry they shoulder.
Ornaments are another great gift idea for the holidays, especially if you can personalize them to the likes and tastes of your neighbor. Think back to the conversations you might have had with them over the last few months. Did they mention a hobby, movie they liked, or even favorite color? Information like this can really help make an ornament into a more special present because there are so many different detailed ones around.
Great ornament ideas include:
- Something with the year on it
- A place to write a special message
- A "talking" ornament that provides a fun or inspiration saying
- An ornament from a local sports team
- A detailed ornament that reflects the person's faith
- An ornament with characters from a favorite TV show or movie
- A family ornament with each person's name on it.
Scarves, Hats, and Gloves
Gift Baskets
If you don't know your neighbors all that well, gift baskets can make for a really nice gesture. Many stores have them pre-made, or you can whip together one yourself. This cardboard gift box idea from Mel-Designs is really cute. It will make your gift box that much more appreciated because you took some time to make it unique.
You can further personalize your gift basket by paying attention to what your neighbor likes to do. If they have a beautiful garden, for example, a gift basket centered around that hobby (garden gloves, seed packets, etc.) would be a welcome gift. If your neighbor is always bragging about his home theater room, perhaps a gift of popcorn and movies would work out well.

A firewatch must remain in the area 30 minutes after welding/cutting has ceased, unless conditions are such that a fire is obviously improbable (e.g. after finishing cutting in an area with concrete walls and floors, with no other combustibles).
· Notifying HSS before the work occurs so that appropriate fire detection system pieces can be deactivated.
7.2 Interim Life Safety Measures (ILSM)
When construction or renovation activities impair the Life Safety of a building (e.g. deactivating a fire alarm or suppression system), the following Interim Life Safety Measures shall be implemented, as determined by EHS:

· Testing of temporary alarm/detection systems shall be monthly
· Appropriate numbers of fire extinguishers shall be maintained on site
· Walk through of the areas shall be provided by EHS personnel daily

Raytheon and L.A. Sheriff's Department Get Rave Reviews From Consumer Electronics Show
Thousands of tech heads, journalists and bloggers came out to Vegas for the annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) this month, and Raytheon was there to support a key customer, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
The largest sheriff's agency in the world attracted a horde of onlookers with a new laptop computer system installed in a black and white patrol car.
With it, deputies can now access in seconds a variety of crime-busting technologies, including mug shots, DMV photos, FBI records and arrest warrants, all from within the car. Raytheon integrated all of the software to give the LASD its first field policing technology upgrade in more than two decades.
In all, 2,400 cars, SUVs, prisoner transport buses, motorcycles and patrol boats will be outfitted with the new mobile data computer systems.

Avon and Somerset PCC claims public favour more cash for police
12:04pm Monday 6th January 2014 in News
OVER 3,000 people have told Avon and Somerset Police and Crime Commissioner Sue Mountstevens what they would be prepared to pay for policing in their council tax.
Since May, Ms Mountstevens has been consulting over the policing part of council tax and asking residents how much they would be happy to pay, and most – 74.6% – favour a rise of 2% or more.
Nearly one-third – 28.3% – favour a rise of up to 10%, an extra £16.80 on top of the £168 a year the average Avon and Somerset household pays towards policing.
Some 22% of respondents favour a freeze to the policing part of council tax.
Ms Mountstevens said: "It has been fantastic meeting and talking to residents about this issue.
"With household bills increasing it's only right that I seek their views.
"It helps my decision-making to know people are prepared to pay more towards policing, and I'll obviously look at all ways the police can make further savings as well as any incentives from the Government to continue to freeze the policing part of council tax.
"The policing part of council tax has been frozen for three years, and with reductions in government funding, inflation and essential costs, such as fuel and national insurance, rising it's now right that we look at the prospect of an increase in the policing part of council tax."
Despite a possible increase in the policing part of council tax of up to 2% (£3.36 a year), the police would have to find savings of £11.9million.
Money for policing from the Government has reduced since October, 2010, and by April next year Avon and Somerset Police will have made £34.4million savings.
The police and crime panel has discussed the options ahead of a final decision on the police budget in February.

Delta employees and homeowners begin work on a house in Johannesburg, South Africa on December 6, 2006.
ATLANTA, Dec. 4, 2006 – Delta is partnering with rock icon and philanthropist Jon Bon Jovi and Habitat for Humanity International to unveil a new philanthropic commitment and specially-designed Delta aircraft livery that will carry its message worldwide. The campaign, "Delta's Force for Global Good," will focus on uniting the airline's employees and customers in support of global philanthropic efforts. Delta will launch the campaign with Habitat for Humanity International with its first international build in Katlehong, South Africa, Dec. 6-8.
Today, Habitat for Humanity Ambassador Bon Jovi joined Delta executives, thousands of Delta employees and Habitat representatives in the airline's hometown of Atlanta to unveil a Delta Boeing 767-300 aircraft that features a Habitat for Humanity paint schematic and "Delta's Force for Global Good" decaling. The aircraft symbolically represents Delta's philanthropic pledge and partnership with Habitat, as it flies throughout Delta's worldwide network including Dakar, Senegal and Johannesburg, South Africa.
"Delta's Force for Global Good" leverages the combined assets of Delta's vast global network of more than 45,000 employees who volunteer their time and Delta's charitable foundation to support the global communities where Delta customers and employees live and work. The employees chosen for the build in Katlehong, just outside of Johannesburg, were selected from an employee group that has volunteered more than 150 hours annually to community service. The build is the first of several Habitat projects that Delta will fulfill, all under the "Delta Force for Global Good" umbrella, in other countries and in which Delta employees and customers will have the opportunity to participate.
"Today marks a new page in Delta's history book as we announce this exciting new philanthropic commitment and our first partner in this effort, Habitat for Humanity International," said Delta's Chief Executive Officer Jerry Grinstein. "Delta's Force for Global Good leverages the deep volunteerism of Delta's employees – the backbone of our philanthropic efforts for 77 years – for the benefit of global humanitarian efforts. We're honored that globally-recognized performer and humanitarian Jon Bon Jovi joined us for the symbolic unveiling and we can't wait to begin building our first global Habitat homes in Johannesburg, South Africa, on Dec. 6."
Delta tapped Bon Jovi to help them unveil "Delta's Force for Global Good" and its new relationship with Habitat, given his deep support of and official connection with the organization – Bon Jovi was recently named the first Founding Ambassador of the Habitat for Humanity Ambassador program. He launched his support for Habitat for Humanity in 2005 when he provided the funds to build six homes in Philadelphia and worked to build the homes with the homeowner families and members of his Philadelphia Soul Arena Football Team.
"In my role as a Habitat for Humanity Ambassador, I'm pleased to help Delta Air Lines announce their new philanthropic program and commitment to Habitat," said Bon Jovi. "I can speak from experience that Delta's employees who are committing their time to Habitat will feel proud and moved by their dedicated efforts. Their involvement – and the Habitat messages that you can't miss, emblazoned on this Delta aircraft – will encourage others to become involved and share in the rebuilding of their own communities."
"Habitat for Humanity is honored to be chosen as the first partner in 'Delta's Force for Global Good' program," said Jonathan Reckford, CEO of Habitat for Humanity International. "Delta is demonstrating great corporate citizenship by helping to build Habitat homes and raise awareness about the critical need for simple, decent housing in countries around the world."

One year after they were possibly the most injured team in the NFL, the Bills are once again dealing with a slew of injuries as the 2010 season approaches.
After losing RBs Fred Jackson and Marshawn Lynch for three-plus weeks in the first preseason contest, Buffalo lost both OLB Reggie Torbor and TE Derek Schouman for multiple weeks in Thursday night's exhibition game against the Colts.
Torbor, a veteran free-agent addition who had been running with the first team, suffered an undisclosed injury and is expected to miss about three weeks. His absence could give second-year player Aaron Maybin a chance to play with the starters leading up to Week One.
Schouman went down with a knee injury that head coach Chan Gailey said could cost him 3-6 weeks. Schouman, who missed nearly all of the '09 season with a knee issue, was likely headed for a larger role after TE Shawn Nelson was handed a four-game suspension last week.
The Bills also announced Sunday that two of their '10 draft picks have been placed on injured reserve. Fourth-round pick WR Marcus Easley (knee surgery) and sixth-round pick LB Danny Batten (shoulder surgery) will both be sidelined for the upcoming campaign.

Spitfire Mk1 Dunkirk Veteran
P9374 left the factory on the 2nd of March 1940 and was flown to No.9 Maintenance Unit for final checks before going on to 92 Squadron, based at Duxford, England. 92 Squadron went to war, but on the first sortie P9374 stayed on the ground. Bushell led twelve pilots off at 10.45 hours to patrol from Boulogne to Dunkirk. Here they met the aggressive Messerschmitt Bf109 pilots from I. /JG 27 and a vicious fight ensued. Pilot Officer Pat Learmond went down in flames as the Bf109s hit them, and then it was every man for him as the Spitfire formation broke up. Both sides overclaimed heavily; the relatively inexperienced RAF pilots claimed two destroyed and four more 'unconfirmed' while I. /JG 27 claimed three Spitfires. Pat Learmond was the sole casualty from either side. At 17.20 hours they were off again, this time with Pilot Officer Desmond Williams flying P9374. Off Boulogne, they sighted a mass of twin-engined aircraft that were quickly identified as Messerschmitt Bf110s. The German fighters dived on them from above and Bushell broke the squadron hard to port. The Bf110s charged through them, cannon and machine-guns blazing. P9374 had been truly bloodied. Williams returned, claiming one Bf110 destroyed and two 'possibles'. It is not known whether his first two opponents were credited, as 'unconfirmed destroyed' or 'damaged', but it was likely that it was the latter. When the battle was over, Roger Bushell was gone, as was Sergeant Paul Klipsch and Flying Officer J.Gillies. Bushell and Gillies became prisoners-of-war. Paul Klipsch was, like Learmond, dead. But 92 Squadron had claimed a total of seven destroyed, four unconfirmed, and four damaged (including Williams' claims), plus two Ju88s destroyed. Flight Lieutenant Bob Tuck's aircraft had been badly shot and Pilot Officer Tony Bartley's had received some hits, as had Flight Lieutenant Charles Green's. 92 Squadron was stood down until the early morning of the 24th. At 08.05 hours, they were scrambled to patrol between Calais and Dunkirk. Flight Lieutenant Bob Tuck, now promoted to Acting Squadron Leader following the loss of Roger Bushell, was leading, and Pilot Officer Peter Cazenove was flying P9374, with another squadron pilot, Tony Bartley, leading one of the sections of that flight. Despite being quite intact, and still looking very much like a Spitfire, the challenges of recovery, preservation, conservation and restoration are clearly apparent in this side view of P9374. One of those pilots flying in Tony Bartley's section had been Peter Cazenove and the bombers they had intercepted were, in fact, Dornier 17-Zs of I./KG 77. Whilst the Spitfires had luckily avoided the fighter escort the gunners on board the Dorniers were putting up a spirited defence, with Tuck describing how the gunners "blazed defiance" and "laid on a heavy crossfire". It was into this defensive crossfire that Cazenove gamely followed Tony Bartley, and whilst Bartley's Spitfire was hit it was not mortally damaged. Exactly what happened to P9374 we cannot be absolutely certain, although it is reasonable to assume that Cazenove's Spitfire took hits from the Dornier gunners, probably disabling the engine. It only took a single round in the wrong place to cripple the fuel supply, wreck the oil pressure or to knock out the cooling system. Certainly, it would appear that nothing major from a structural point of view had affected the Spitfire and it could clearly still fly under control -- although Cazenove had obviously decided a return across the Channel or back to Hornchurch was out of the question. Below him lay a wide, flat and open expanse of sand with the tide far out. Fortunately, this was a little to the south of the evacuation beaches, and thus he had a clear landing site to head for. Wheels up, he skidded across the beach throwing up a great arc of sand and water as his windmilling propellor kissed the surface, bending under impact as the radiator and oil cooler scoops dug into the wet surface. The Spitfire finally came to a halt not far away from the Phare de Walde light tower.

You would think that with all the money we customers give to nokia ,that if there is no USB connection they would at least include a USB dongle in the phone package when purchased,they should put a (infrared/Bluetooth) dongle in all there phone packages ,where the phones have Bluetooth or infrared capability,seems fair if you want to keep your customers that is,

With respect to nokia, im quite annoyed about this phone and am about to bin it.
I have taken a few treasured photos on it, so without further ado, can the experts please confirm there is no connectivity provided to remove media to pc so it therefore pointless using it for photos or recordings. ( which is why I bought the phone in the first place)
Or am i missing something

The web-site www.shopblue.co.uk is selling what it claims is a USB cable for this phone. Does the previous discussion mean this cable is useless and will not allow data transfer?
I know the phone is relatively cheap but the lack of cable transfer is really annoying - I have no knowledge of bluetooth technology to transfer pictures off the phone.

If you follow the web link given by grschinon you get to a page of specifications. Under "connectivity" there is "local connectivity" which mentions Bluetooth and also "Nokia AV 2.5mm" - what is this? A USB cable???

have you checked out this "PhoneDirector"? I have no experience with it and no 2330, but would be interested in the result. You can download the free trial.

I'm quite surprised to discover that the 2330 classic has no USB connectivity !
I've bought a cable that was said to be compatible :
my translation of the first words :
"This 2330 classic cable will let you transfer files (pictures, photos, rings) from the phone to the PC, and from the PC to the phone. [...]
this site also pretends it will transfer data in both directions :
Indeed I can't connect, though having successfully installed PC suite 7.1 :-(
Are these people (and another one I found) selling **bleep** ?
Or has some update been made available since the last message in this thread ?
What means the CD shown with the cable on their page ? (I got no CD from them)
Of course I'm going to contact them, but it seems quite relevant to get your answer.
It's hard to believe these sites are lying so obviously...
Thanks for your attention

I've been watching the Giants since 2008 and I don't think I've been a fan long enough to have seen stellar cornerback play from two guys at the same time. I guess TT and Webster in 2010...
The Wills? Seriously?
Prince Amukamara for sure. As for the second, Terrell Thomas or Aaron Ross. Maybe CWebb if he can have a bounce back year. But I like Amukamara and Ross, that's my hope.

Almost 15 million new cars and trucks were sold in 2012, making U.S. auto sales the highest they've been in five-years.
While the U.S. saw a 13% increase, Eastern Iowa car dealers didn't report as much of a boost, but they did see a spike in sales.
"It's just phenomenal to see the business doing great again," said General Sales Manager at Rydell Chevrolet Jeff Smock.
Smock has been selling cars for 25 years. He said Rydell Chevrolet saw a 7-percent increase in new car sales last year.
According to Smock, the dealership sold almost 800 new vehicles, and more than 800 used vehicles last year. He said about 60 of those were sold during the week between Christmas and New Years Eve, their busiest week of the year.
"It's been the best new car market since 2008," said Smock, who said the boost in sales corresponds with the general health of the economy.
"If people are out buying big ticket items, they feel confident about their jobs and secure about their future," said Smock who also credited low interest rates as a big incentive for consumer confidence.

UPDATE: 6:00 p.m.
It's a scheme to buy and re-sell guns to other people that has one Rocky Mount police officer and Bassett gun store owner indicted on federal charges.
We've found there was an existing relationship between Slate and Haskins. According to several sources, Slate is dating Haskins' daughter.
Rocky Mount Police Chief says this kind of came as a shock. He says Slate was a good police officer and started working for him in May of 2012.
The chief says ATF agents did ask to interview four or five rocky mount police officers about three or four months ago, but he was unaware of what it was about.
In response to what will happen with Slate's employement. He says it's policy to suspend an officer without pay if charged with a felony.
The grand jury charged David Haskins, the owner of Southern Guns in Henry County with 18 counts of making false statements to a licensed firearms dealer in relation to the purchase of a firearm.
Slate faces a federal conspiracy charge to make straw purchases of firearms.
Federal investigators believe Haskins recruited slate to help then recruit other people including police officers to help buy the weapons.
Haskins would say the guns were for him, but were actually getting it for someone else or reselling for purchase. Some of the guns were high powered Smith and Wesson Rifles.
A Rocky Mount Police officer and a Bassett gun shop owner have been indicted on federal charges of straw purchasing firearms.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives led the investigation.
The grand jury charged 57-year-old gun shop owner David Haskins with 18 counts of making false statements to a license firearms dealer in relation to the purchase of a firearm. Officer James Slate, 25-years-old, of Rocky Mount has been charged with one count of conspiracy to make straw purchases of firearms.
Both Haskins and Slate face a maximum possible penalty of up to five years in prison on the conspiracy charge.
Haskins also faces a maximum possible penalty of up to 10 years in prison on 10 counts of making a false statement to a licensed firearms dealer and maximum possibly penalty of up to five years on the remaining eight counts of making false statements.

A- I'm not sure really why this category matters because all beers look different but as i pored it out it was pitch black, typical imperial stout. There was a good head on it as well. pretty appealing to the eyes
S- Not getting that much coffee but I am getting a very malty, bannanay smell too it. I do like the smell but I'm not getting those dried figs and plums that every reviewer tends to put down for imperial stout. Sometimes I wonder if they've actually had an actual dried fig, not a fig newton, or a dried plum.
tasted- Definitely getting that coffee bitterness taste typical of a stout but not so much any other characters of coffee. At the back end I'm getting that bannanay taste that i got in the aroma.
M-It's not particularly thick but it does have some body to it.
0-Pretty good beer. definitely would get this again. Not the best beer in the world, but far from the worst. I would like to get more of a coffee taste in it though.

12 ounce bottle from a sixer. "Vintage 11BB" (?) on the front label.
Pours basic black, under a darker tan head, that stays, leaves ample bits of fine lacing.
Nose is full milk chocolate, vanilla and some roasted malts.
Flavorful and enjoyable stout. Chocolate, lite cafe au lait, some more vanilla and a hint of bourbon late...all mixing and meshing together in this super smooth on the tongue and easy drinking brew.
Well done and well worth a try.
Gotta love the Ralph Steadman label art and HST quote.

Serving glass: Poured from bottle into Snifter.
Appearance: Near black with decent tan head and light lacing.
Smell: Cold espresso, molasses, cholcolate and dark fruit.
Taste: Coffee and molasses form the backbone, with notes of dark fruit and chocolate. The bitterness is fairly low and generally not much bite at the finish. Fairly subtle taste overall for the style but very tasty.
Feel: Moderaly low carbonation. Smooth and creamy, but the body is lighter than expected.
Overall: Nice, affordable Coffee Imperial Stout. Certainly on the easier drinking side of things.

Poured from a 12 oz. bottle into a Surly Darkness chalice. Vintage 13.
Appearance: Pours pitch black with a moderate amount of bubbles. About one finger of deep tan head that quickly fades into a thin creamy layer. Leaves a decent amount of lacing.
Smell: A rich, roasty, and sweet dark malt forward aroma with big hints of coffee, chocolate, and caramel. Upfront dark roasted barley malts with big hints of dark roast coffee beans, dark chocolate, toast, biscuit, caramel, grains, yeast, smoke, cream, and slight vanilla. Sweet hints of molasses. Dark fruit hints of raisin, cherry, and fig. Hops are very light. A very good imperial coffee stout aroma.
Taste: Like the aroma, a very roasty, rich, and nicely sweet dark malt driven taste with big notes of coffee, chocolate, and caramel. Dark roasted barley malts with big upfront notes of dark roast coffee beans, bitter dark chocolate, toasted bread, caramel, biscuit, yeast, grains, smoke, and some sweet notes of cream and vanilla. Also some sweet notes of molasses. Dark fruit undertones with notes of cherry, fig, and raisin. A really good coffee stout taste.
Mouthfeel: Full bodied with a moderate amount of carbonation. Creamy, slick, and slightly syrupy. Finish is smooth with a well hidden alcohol presence.
Overall: A really good take on an imperial coffee stout. Very good dark coffee and chocolate flavors with a nice creamy body.

A 355ml bottle with a BB of Nov 2013. Picked up ages ago from Trembling Madness in York and stored in my garage. I reckon Ralph Steadman might have had a few of these before drawing the label...
Poured into a Duvel tulip. Bottle conditioned (chunky). A very dark brown that appears ultra-black in the glass. Yields a small head of brown foam that disappears rapidly. Aroma of rich roasted malt with notes of coffee, cocoa, burnt grain, molasses, brown sugar, faint dried fruit, a hint of vanilla and earthy yeast. Slightly sweet, with a warming whiff of booze in the background.
Tastes of intense roasted malt and coffee, followed by a powerful bitter finish. Notes of burnt grain, coffee, cocoa, molasses, brown sugar, dried fruit, subtle vanilla and earthy yeast. Rather sweet, with more than a touch of booze in the background. A zealous bitterness upon swallowing, though tempered somewhat by the sweetness. Mouthfeel is smooth, thick and tingly, with light carbonation and good body. Quite astringent, accompanied by an aftertaste of coffee, roasted malt, molasses and yeast.
Impressive - an avalanche of coffee and roasted malt overwhelms the palate. Looks nice, while the aroma and flavour are all about the coffee. Tastes like it was brewed five minutes ago. Good body; could be slightly creamier but let's not split hairs. A fantastic imperial stout with plenty of character - if you like your beers big and stuffed with coffee then don't pass this up.

Pitch black body while listening to some nice soul music on Spotify, while Kujo is tearing out guts WTF? Flying Dog is getting dark. This pours black with a mocha tan head forming thick with speckled sporadic lacing. Aroma bitter coffee notes with fruity tones as well, a very nice beer big chocolate roasted malts dark beer with a creamy dark action brewing. Flavor is all coffee highlights a bit of tree bark, fruit/herbal tones, and acidic coffee (black coffee) sweet artisan coffee, but damn delicious I like these Black dog roasters a match made in heaven. The label says this is vintage 12CC, okay I'll keep an eye on that as this beer gets drained. Like a strong coffee/dark chocolate infused ice brewed coffee, damn strong slightly astringent in the best possible way with fruity highlights trailing it out. Mouthfeel is medium to full bodied dry roasted coffee finish very enjoyable beer being produced out there and I'm happy to say I'm converted excellent brewery with beer to match. Overall God bless America and this beer right here, I'm ready to get spiritual it might as well be about the new 12 ounce Kujo beer I can get at my local...I can't picture crazy West Virginians in Morgantown, WV downing this in number there may be a revolution.

A-On the outside, all Flying Dog bottles offer a unique design by the hand of artist Ralph Steadman and this particular one (given its wild yet creative flare) is a great setup to the beer. Once poured, it has a thick dark brown almost black body and a nice light brown head that leaves rings around the glass with each sip.
S-a nice roasty coffee boquet with a hint of vanilla. Very inviting!
T-great coffee taste with a slight metallic tone to it and a hint of cream on the aftertaste. It has some nice complexities to it.
M-definitely notice the roasty feel which warms the mouth and leaves you craving for another sip. Perfect for warming the pallate on a chilly day.
O-Its hard not to like this beer. Not an overly thick stout, but still a very good attempt (exceeding my expectations) and well worth the purchase.

THE LEADING MEN: Jefferson Mays Wears Many Hats (and Boots and Bustles and Coats) in the New Musical A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder
By Evan Henerson
A quick-changing Jefferson Mays plays an octet of heirs in the new musical comedy A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder, now at The Old Globe in San Diego. The Tony Award-winning actor explains them all.
To say that his latest acting assignment requires Jefferson Mays to wear many hats would be clichéd, but also apt. The Tony Award-winning star of I Am My Own Wife and more recently Gore Vidal's The Best Man is a self-described "hat fetishist." Being cast in eight stylized roles in the musical A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder gave Mays the opportunity to indulge that particular mania with a vengeance.
When he showed up at rehearsals for a workshop of the musical at Hartford Stage, Mays arrived with bags full of hats — bowlers, taupe silk hats, tweed cloth cap, even a topper owned by his wife that would be transformed into a beekeeper's hat.
I Am My Own Wife had more than 37 characters, although as Mays notes, every last one of them was "by default wearing that little black dress, string of pearls and head scarf." In Gentleman's Guide, a co-production between Hartford Stage and the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego, Mays plays the entire line of the fictionalized D'Ysquith family, working his way up and down the ladder of Edwardian aristocracy from earls to actresses, from musclemen to missionaries.
Monty Navarro (played by Ken Barnett), an illegitimate heir who is ninth in line to the D'Ysquith earldom, sets his sights on improving his position and targets the eight D'Ysquiths ahead of him. Film mavens may recognize Gentlemen's Guide from the 1949 film "Kind Hearts and Coronets," which — like Gentleman's Guide was also inspired by the Roy Harniman novel "Israel Rank." In that film, Alec Guinness played eight roles, but Guinness had days of shooting and multiple takes.
Mays has two and a half hours. Bring on the hats.
"It always makes me sound really shallow, but I work from the outside in," says the Connecticut-born actor speaking by phone during a rehearsal break in San Diego. "I try to think of what a character looks like, what types of shoes he'll wear and I try to wear to rehearsals something that feels more or less like what the costume will be. We used the hats for signifiers of the changing characters and with that, of course, I would change my voice or my stance."
"Clothes are very important," he adds. "I think it's also getting the visual idea of what my character looks like before I go out and start rehearsing. It's totally demoralizing to look at stills because you never look anything like who you imagine you're playing. It just looks like me in a wig."
Or a muscle suit, a top hat, a bustle, a set of false teeth or anything else he and costume designer Linda Cho deemed properly D'Ysquithian. Mays is a research buff as well as a performer and he and Cho had numerous discussions about costume choices including the suggestion that Cho bring some steam punk elements into some of the clothing choices.
Clothes aside, Mays taking on the D'Ysquiths has been a workout. Even with the play's Hartford Stage run completed a few months ago, the actor reports being "bloody but unbowed," his once stiff upper lip a bit the worse for wear.
"A lot of mustaches are applied hastily and taken off in the wings," he says. "I had a face full of sores by the end of the run. I'll try to figure out something."
Mustaches, in fact, are positively the easy part.
"My costumes open in the back and there's a zipper," he says. "So I finish a scene, throw myself into the darkness of the wings and am immediately set upon by three muscular women who rip my clothes off….It sounds more fun contemplating it than it does doing it….So they tear my clothes off, I jump in the new outfit and they pick me up and literally shove me back on stage. It's like the pit crew at the Indy 500."
You may need a scorecard to sort out the diverse D'Ysquiths a few of whom admittedly make little more than an extended cameo. Mays gave us a tour through the family along with some thoughts and musings. Read on!
Asquith "Assie" D'Ysquith Jr. — Young Dandy
Reverend Lord Ezekial D'Ysquith — a Man of Limited Intellect, Rather Too Fond of his Port
Lord Adalbert D'Ysquith, the 8th Earl of D'Ysquith — an Arrogant Formidable Presence
Lord Asquith D'Ysquith — Elderly Banker Not Usually Given to Public Displays of Emotion
Henry D'Ysquith — a Landowner and Country Squire
Lady Hyacinth D'Ysquith — Missionary, a Woman of a Certain Age
Major Lord Bartholomew D'Ysquith — a Ridiculously Musclebound Health Nut
Lady Salome D'Ysquith Pumphrey — a Flamboyantly Awful Actress
Mays explains, "Several times during the run at Hartford, I would hear bits of conversations in the restroom to the effect of, 'Oh, isn't it wonderful that they got actors who look more or less the same to play the various members of the family.' That made me both very happy and very depressed. I was heartened by the fact that they weren't sure how many actors were playing the role, but they obviously hadn't read the program."
