Maybe the first Kentucky beer I have had,I poured into an oversized wine glass to get the full aroma aspects of this beer,it poured clear deep golden with a very thin head,good clarity just not much head to it.Man that stuff smells like Wild Turkey,full oak and vanilla/caramel notes with a bit of biscuit malt,no hop presence that I could find.Light mouthfeel but not sharp,just a little thinner than expected I guess.Flavors are oaky and vanilla tinged with that caramel and and biscuit showing through as well,again no hop presence noticrable in my mind.Something a little different,it tastes just as much as a bourbon as a strong ale,but I liked it for a change of pace.

Though I have had this on tap at the brewery's "bier stube," I'm rating this on the bottles I've had. This is a remarkable beer. I know barrel-aging is getting big including aging this or that in bourbon barrels, but for a golden ale from Lexington, this one makes the most sense since the barrels emanate from down the road.
I credit this beer with turning me into a bigger bourbon fan. Rich, vanilla-oak flavors dominate, but you can sip it like a rich beer. The scent hits you first and though it's not very carbonated, it fills the mouth with equal parts beer and bourbon in a symbiotic fashion.
Though you can only drink one of these in a sitting--or at least should--the one bottle will leave you feeling GOOOOD. When the angel's share of the 90 proof bourbon marries out with the 5ish percent ale, what's left is a strong 9 percent beer that is liquid gold and warmth.
Biggest downside: Only available in Kentucky, and when the hell are you gonna be in Kentucky?

Pours a mild amber color with a very slight amount of haze, slightly off white head fades quickly; very faint amounts of lacing are left along the walls of the glass. The aroma is big heavy bourbon - no faintness, no notes, hints, or nuances - straight up bourbon, through and through. Woody, oak aromas reside somewhat along the outer edges along with a touch of creamy and subtle vanilla. Much like the nose, the mouth senses heavy bourbon upon the first sip as well. If you were to tell me it was a malted-up ale and someone dropped in a shot of Evan Williams, I'd believe it. Very malt forward; lots of sweetness from the malt, toasted, slight caramel flavors, grainy. Hops aren't very noticeable, at least in flavor. A slight harsh, dry bitterness grabs the palate halfway through, but it's hard to detect any hop flavors at all. Slick body, thin, with adequate carbonation.
This is a bourbon beer, through and through. Literally tastes like someone dropped a shot of bourbon or whiskey into a malty ale. If bourbon is your thing, you'll love this. I guess it's okay if you're looking to drink bourbon. But if that's the case... just drink bourbon.

Had this on tap at The BBC in Norwood.
A- Pours a caramel color with minimal head. Quite frankly, it looks like fizzy bourbon.
S- Bourbon just dominates the nose. A little bit of wood in there and some pungent alcohol. Some caramel and molasses lie deep with there.
T- The bourbon is pretty well integrated with the smooth oak. Almost has a caramel/ buttery after taste. The alcohol is fairly hidden.
M- Lighter bodied but very smooth. No real feel of carbonation and not even any burn from the alcohol.
D- This one goes down smoothly but if you aren't a fan of bourbon, you will not enjoy this. I would call this a cheap bourbon alternative.

Review from BeerAdvocate Magazine Issue #51 (April 2011):
The pale amber color and sufficient lacing does not tell much of a story, even though it's a great-looking beer. At first sniff, the nose is filled with barrel juice from the freshly used bourbon barrels—fusel with sweet vanilla and oak. Has the body of a well-attenuated ale, though there's warmth from the aggressive alcohol. Hopping is modest at best; the dryness and high level of alcohol seem to balance this beer out. Boozy with fresh bourbon flavors from start to finish. Any sweetness seems to come from the feigned direction of the bourbon as it throws down that vanilla flavor. Some graininess within to remind us that this is a beer. Drinking this one slow. Definitely sets itself apart from all other bourbon barrel aged beers, which makes it a must-try.

Pours from the growler a clear golden amber, vibrant with a bubbly head that fades rather quickly to a ring around the glass. Aromas begin with beautiful bourbon, vanilla, sweet caramel, woody tones and light fruit notes. Very nice, enchanting aroma here.
First sip brings a sweet fruity caramel maltiness. Luscious bourbon flavors dance on the palate. A hefty helping of vanilla and woody tannins show up mid palate. Finishes smooth and slightly sweet. Very well balanced overall, the lingering bourbon barrel notes are great here.
Mouthfeel is smooth and medium bodied. Mellow carbonation works really nice in the overall brew. I could drink a lot of this with no problem. Wonderfully melded flavors and quite refreshing. Goes to show how great barrel aging can be. Many thanks to clvand0 for the opportunity. Word is that this beer is aged in Woodford Reserve barrels as well.

Thanks to clvand0 for the sample ...
A- Mild haze off of a deep golden hue, thin lacing from a light carbonation.
S- WOW!! Big hit of bourbon in the aroma, sweet vanilla, alcoholic and woody.
T- Upfront malt sweetness melds perfectly with the thick layer of bourbon flavor, mild hopping shows a modest but balancing bitterness. Both vanilla and wood are all over the palate with a warming alcohol from the 7.0% abv.
M- A tad too under-carbonated for my liking but it does not really take away from the beer that much. Nice and creamy though.
D- Sipping and sipping only ... I could only see having one glass in a sitting.

My first experience with the bottled version. Pours a clear light amber body that seems a shade lighter than the draft version. Head is small and shortlived and leaves some wispy spots of lace on the snifter. Aroma is bourbon, and lots of it. Vanilla and oak notes are also prominent. Body is light to light medium, almost watery. Low carbonation. Taste has plenty of bourbon, joined by flaked coconut and vanilla. Slight caramel notes are also present and the wood tones are prevalent. Hops aren't noticed but there is a pleasant bourbon bitterness all the way through. A good sipper, but I still prefer this on draft.

Poured into a Sam Adams perfect pint glass
Appearance: medium carbonation, minimal head, orange-brown in color, hazy
Smell: toasted malt and light oak
Taste: big time oak and bourbon, a pleasant taste of vanilla, meadow, and sweet toasted malt
Mouthfeel: sweet with big time oaking, moderate carbonation and medium-light body
Overall: I really like this. The problem I have with a lot of oak beers is that they are one dimensional oak and/or alcohol bombs. While this one has both, there is a sweetness and complexity that I do not often find with the style. The oak, vanilla, and bourbon all get a chance to shine and blend wonderfully. I wish I picked up a six of this. Really great beer.

I have to give big props for individuality. I almost don't know how to describe the taste of this beer. A couple of very pronounced flavors hit me at different times. Initially it's a very typical American amber, but quickly lightens (as I swallow) to something more like a pale.
The smell is really nothing special. I mean, I like ambers so I'm already predisposed to liking how this smells, but if I'm being objective about it there's really nothing special about it.
I already described the initial taste, but the after taste was what made this beer fun to drink for me. I had a couple of bottles, one poured into a pint glass, the other straight from the bottle. The bourbon flavor was really pronounced when I drank from the bottle, and when I drank from the glass I got a lot of the wood and vanilla flavors I had heard about.
The mouth feel was another enjoyable characteristic, more so out of the bottle than the glass. I'm not a big fan of heavy carbonation but they seem to have hit a really nice balance here. If anything the carbonation helped to enhance the lighter undertones like the vanilla to balance out the more noticeable flavors of the traditional amber.
Overall, it's certainly not something I expected, and to be honest it was an impulse buy by my buddy who thought it looked like something different to try. So I have to say it was pleasantly surprising and if I am ever offered one I will definitely take it. But would I buy it again? Probably not. It's a novelty and something to try if you're looking for a break from your norm. But it's not a good session beer and it's not something that I would look for on a regular basis.
*I'm young, I only started really thinking about good beer three years ago, and this is my first review on the BA. So feel free to review my review and tell me how I did. I welcome criticism and advice.*

By Jake Thompson
— Now that the NFL season has officially ended, what's a football fanatic to do with their time?
Obsess after their team's last loss? That's not very healthy or productive, although I know a number of New England fans doing just that.
Shut off all sports media and take a well-deserved break and spend that time with their families? That seems like a great idea, but one that made some of you laugh out loud.
Begin to think about spring training and fantasy baseball? Probably not.
Look forward to next year as the NFL really has no offseason anymore as everything from the combine and draft preparation, to OTAs and mini-camp are now reported on at great length for each and every team through various media outlets?
Yes, sir! Because who really wants to spend time moping or getting together with your dysfunctional relatives or even waiting on spring training?
Let's start our journey from the vantage point that 31 NFL teams' fans are now looking toward. I'm excluding the Baltimore Ravens fans because their collective heads are still stuck in the clouds.
Indianapolis has until March 12, the opening day of free agency, to lock down its own free agents before worrying about the No. 24 selection in the first round of the NFL Draft. Although the Colts are probably doing both at the same time.
Most diehard NFL fans are now focused like a laser on the start of free agency and the 2013 NFL Draft held April 25, 26, and 27.
The Colts have the ability to do something they've not been able to do in many years: build through free agency. With a large surplus of cap space at around $44 million of a guesstimated cap of $121.1 million for the upcoming season, Indianapolis can go out and get some players that can come in and help right away.
Let's talk offense needs, since that's where Colts GM Ryan Grigson started the rebuild last season.
Indianapolis could sorely use some continuity up front on the offensive line. This is a unit that rotated more than the turnstiles at a New York subway station last year. Injuries, poor performance, and lack of experience all played a part in why this much maligned group did not fully come to fruition. Quality depth is certainly an issue going forward and I expect Grigson to begin addressing that through both free agency and the draft.
Offensive tackle Anthony Costanzo has been pretty solid at left tackle, but what if the Colts could get Jake Long from Miami in free agency and move Costanzo to right tackle, like Baltimore did with Bryant McKinnie and Michael Oher late in the season. That move helped solidify the Ravens' line en route to a Super Bowl run.
While there are some big names on the free agency list, this is a position that also looks to be pretty deep in the draft. Several quality lineman could fall to the Colts in the first and second rounds, if not later. If Grigson and the Colts use free agency to address some other offensive needs, this may indeed be the play on draft day.
Could Indianapolis benefit from more depth at receiver? Certainly.
Reggie Wayne, while having one of his best years ever last season, needs help. T.Y. Hilton came on late last year as one expects any rookie third-round pick to do and looked solid. But what the Colts need for quarterback Andrew Luck is one more consistent receiving option — and a little speed with that wouldn't hurt.
This, like the option suggested on the offensive line, could be addressed through free agency. Pittsburgh's Mike Wallace comes to mind as a speedster who can stretch the field and at 27 years old, he has plenty of rubber left on the tires.
New England has been playing a cat and mouse game with Wes Welker over the past few seasons and may be forced to use the franchise tag on him if a deal can't be reached. Welker, who has caught 122 and 118 balls over the past two seasons, would be a great pick.
Green Bay's Greg Jennings will also hit the market. He provides an interesting possibility, although he has fought injuries over the past couple of seasons and looks an unlikely option for Indianapolis.
Is this a deep draft class for receivers? Not if teams are looking for legitimate first round talent, which I believe the Colts should be. Could quality be found in later rounds? Of course. We need look no further for evidence of that than Hilton.
That brings me to the running back position. I loved the toughness Vick Ballard played with last season. Who could forget the touchdown dive to the end zone in OT against Tennessee last year that was one of the Top 10 plays of the season?
But whom do the Colts have to run in tandem with Ballard?
Donald Brown? While Brown has shown flashes of what was expected out of the former first-round pick, there must be someone out there able to produce more.
Indianapolis needs a quality, dependable back, proven to carry a significant work load that's still young enough to contribute for several years.
Enter Peyton Hillis. At 26 years old, this running back has a 1,000-yard season under his belt and has shown the toughness and grit needed by a running back in the NFL.
Miami's Reggie Bush also comes to mind. As a receiving threat out of the backfield, Bush provides matchup nightmares for defenses and rushed for 1,000 yards in 2011 while missing that mark by less than 15 yards this year.
The draft doesn't have many worthy first-round running backs available, if any. This is a position that could be filled for depth if one of the available free agent running backs slips through the Colts' grasp. But I hope not, because if there's anything a quarterback needs most, it's a reliable rushing attack.
And at the quarterback position, the Colts ... are set.
Luck set the rookie passing yardage record last season and showed great maturity and presence in the pocket. This gem of a quarterback should lead the Colts for years to come and will be a force to be reckoned with, provided he has a line to protect him and skill players surrounding him.
Granted, Grigson believes in the scouting ability of the Colts' personnel department and finding hidden gems with which to build. He has also proven, through the Vontae Davis trade, he will acquire what the team needs if the price is right. I like his ability to mix it up and build both through the draft and free agency.
Will Indianapolis address all of its offensive needs this season? Probably not. But as long as the Colts continue to move forward and build around what last season became a solid foundation, the sky's the limit in the coming years.

With one of the most unpredictable and dramatic days of the footballing year finally coming to a close, fans everywhere were able to take stock and review whether their team had done well or poorly in the transfer window. I, like many spurs followers, was initially sceptical over Tottenham's dealings - I mean Louis Saha, Ryan Nelson? I know 'Arry likes a seasoned, experience player but Christ, their collective age would get them a bus pass. However, having thought about it a bit more I came to the conclusion that Daniel Levy and co. have, yet again, been pretty astute.
Firstly, two things to point out:
1 - We all know Daniel Levy runs a tight ship - there are ceiling caps on wages, sell-on value is always a factor, the club won't be mortgaged to bring in some Galactios.
2 - Last night's game against Wigan was completely irrelevant in terms of bringing players in. So any injuries sustained cannot be used retroactively to throw at Redknap and Levy while shouting 'WE NEEDED COVEEEEEER'.
As has been pointed out by Harry repeatedly, he was only interested in bringing in a world class player this window - someone who would clearly improve the squad. This suggests that overall he is happy with his current squad and believes they can still push the Manchester clubs all the way this season. I personally agree with him; I think we have one of the best teams in the Premiership and on our day can outplay anyone (on a side note, does anyone else take a certain smug satisfaction that these teams that have blown huge amounts of money over the last year are no more competitive that Spurs? I frequently remind my United friends of the price difference between Friedel and De Gea)
Reports in the press suggested that attempts were made to land a mythical 'Big Signing' but were thwarted by the financial restrictions on the club (Remy and Klasic). If you had asked me whether I wanted either of these players I would have said yes but at the cost of discarding Spurs prudent financial management? No, so it's hard to be too disappointed by this.
The second set of transfers are far more telling and interesting in my opinion. These are the sale of Pavlyuchenko and various loans. At first they look like the dealings of a mid-table club. Do you think the Manchester clubs or Chelsea were looking at Saha and thinking well Rio said he was good, plus there both top, top lads? I doubt it. Here is my breakdown of these seemly unambitious deals:
- Pavlyuchenko has been on the way out for a while. Spurs needed someone to spend some money on him and clear him from the wage bill. The market for him was in Russia, Russian clubs are buying now, he needed to be sold. While everyone agreed he could score goals his game style and effort levels would never have made him a regular starter for Spurs and he wasn't happy not playing.
- Bassong, Pienaar and Charlie are all surplus to requirements with Bassong in particular making it clear he's not happy warming the bench. These loans will get them back on the radar as all should be starters at the clubs they've joined. I would also be very surprised if all of these loan deals didn't have a buy option at the end of the season. I think it's very likely that Bassong and Charlie will stay on at their loan clubs.
- With these clear outs Tottenham needed a bit of cover, especially up front, and the deal for Saha could be very clever. They have brought in experienced player in the last final years of his career who will know from the outset that he will be performing a bit part at best. I wouldn't be surprised if the initial deal is for the remaining 6 months with an extension option if a certain amount of appearances or goals are achieved. Wage bill is lowered, the club has experienced cover if needed (that won't complain when not) plus the experience he brings will naturally be shared with the rest of the squad, especially the younger players (I was going to talk about Nelson as well but that doesn't look like it's happened - I thought that would have been a smart move too).
At the end of the season we should see a slimmer squad with hopefully a (top, top) player or two being bought in the post-season transfer period or equally exciting some more youth players breaking into the first team (my favourite Spurs move in January? Falque on a permanent deal. I think he's looks a lot like a Rafa Mk2). Either way this has been, for all intents and purposes, a consolidation window (and season) in terms of signings in preparation for what I anticipate being an exciting summer. On the plus side, take a look at our league position. We should probably consolidate more often...

of more victims of crime are speaking up thanks to the U-visa. The
increasing number of cases are leading to more arrests.
of undocumented immigrants including mothers and children, victims of
sexual abuse and domestic violence, are receiving U-visas every year.
This allows them to stay and work in the US legally for up to four
years and help law enforcement prosecute the criminal.
Immigration Lawyer Shilpa Shah says, "They're scared to come
forward, but, you know, there comes a point in time when I think they
realize that for their safety, or the safety of their children, they
have to come forward. And in those situations, I have seen the
perpetrators who are either US Citizens, or green card holders, they
do eventually go to jail."
year more than 20,000 immigrants applied for this visa, but only
10,000 are available annually. Shah
says, "It's definitely getting more utilized. And part of that
is that there's more education of the U-visa within communities."
And if signed into law by the president, the new version of the
U-visa will expand to protect victims of stalking.
applying, they must be certified by police, a judge or district
attorney. Shah says, "Sometimes you get the resistance from the
law enforcement side because they don't want to open up the flood
gates, and have people claim that they're victims of some sort of
crime whether it's legitimate or something that someone creates."
local attorneys say usually by the time they're pending approval,
most people are already safe from the criminal. Shah says, "The
offender has gone through his court date, his or her court date. And
they've already been convicted. They could be behind bars."

I continue to monitor a few areas of interest in the Atlantic Basin today.
A weak area of low pressure is located about midway between Puerto Rico and Bermuda. This system is moving northward. Conditions appear to be unfavorable for any significant development.
Cloudiness, showers, and a few thunderstorms continue to accompany the remnants of Karen over northern Florida. Movement is toward the east and northeast.
A large area of disturbed weather is located south and southwest of the Cape Verde Islands. This system has been given the designation 98-L. Movement is toward the WNW at 5-10 mph. Conditions favor slow development of 98-L this week.

Parking Decals
Regular Parking Decal
Faculty and staff may obtain an annual decal for the period September 1 - August 31. Decals are also available on a semester basis for the fall, spring, and summer semesters. Faculty and staff may elect a pre-tax payroll deduction plan. Adjunct faculty and employees working less than half time may purchase a regular decal at a 50% discount.
Students may purchase decals each semester at a per credit hour rate determined by credit hours taken. If you anticipate being on campus year round, either as a student or student employee, consider purchasing the annual decal. Annual decals are available to students at a discounted rate. Faculty or staff who are taking classes are considered employees and are not eligible for student rates.
- The MCU program provides lower cost, with some inconvenience; it allows an affiliated individual to drive a different or secondary vehicle on campus as he/she chooses. Only a single MCU identifying hanger is issued to the driver/owner and must be displayed by hanging from the rearview mirror of whichever vehicle is on campus. This is to insure that only one MCU vehicle is on campus at any given time.
- Many people who would otherwise qualify for an MCU permit nonetheless opt to purchase a regular decal for a secondary vehicle because the MCU permit is less convenient. The MCU hanger requires that the driver/owner remember to switch the hanger when the secondary vehicle is driven to campus. Additionally, other non-affiliated family members who may have occasional business on campus are subject to citation if they park the secondary vehicle in the Visitor Only, or Visitor/Decal Required lots because the secondary vehicle will lack the MCU hanger. In such cases the individual must formally appeal the citation to determine whether their status at the time the citation was issued qualifies them as a visitor under these regulations. (See Section VI, Violation # 107, andSection VII, Appeals)
- Faculty, staff and non-campus residents: The MCU program requires a registration card for each vehicle. The first vehicle plus up to a maximum of 3 additional vehicles can be registered.
- The MCU program is not available to campus residents. Campus residents are required to purchase a regular decal for each private vehicle parked on campus or at their campus residence.
- Spouses or dependents of employees who are students, or employees of the University are subject to 1 above, and can not use the MCU in lieu of purchasing a second decal.
Gold Lots (exclusively reserved parking lots) may, at the discretion of the Parking Manager be set up. These lots/spaces will be reserved solely for Gold Lot holders by lot.
- A request for cancellation of a Gold hanger and refund must be in writing to Parking Services. Refunds will not be pro-rated for less than full calendar months.
- Should additional Gold lot spaces become limited or unavailable, Parking Services reserves the right to accommodate 12-month decal purchasers before 9-month decal purchasers.
- Gold lots are reserved from September 1 through August 31 for a 12-month hanger, and September 1 through May 31 for a 9-month hanger. Gold lots are reserved Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. except University holidays.
Decals must be permanently affixed as instructed on the decal (not taped) on the lower right hand corner (passenger side) of the windshield.
The vehicle driver/owner may request a decal upgrade or downgrade at any time. The current decal must be removed and returned to Parking Services. The pro-rated cost of the original decal is adjusted to the purchase price of the new decal along with a minimal transfer fee.

Gravesend station reopens on time after £19m upgrade with controversial Platform 0
Updated 12:17pm Monday 6th January 2014 in News By Khaleda Rahman
THE new and improved Gravesend station is now up and running after being closed for 15 days over the Christmas period.
Work on the final stage of a £19m upgrade to facilities are now complete with a new third platform as well as a brand new footbridge with lifts allowing step-free access.
All platforms, now named Platform 0, 1 and 2, have been extended to accommodate longer trains. Network Rail said the improvements will provide up to 3,500 extra seats and more space for passengers.
Network Rail's route managing director for Kent Fiona Taylor said: "Passengers will see and benefit from a much-improved Gravesend station now this work is complete.
"The new platforms are an important part of boosting capacity in Kent and will be able to accommodate longer trains which will provide more space and seats for passengers.
"Completing work of this nature is never easy but it was carefully planned at a traditionally quieter time of the year to keep disruption to a minimum.
"I would like to thank passengers for their patience while we completed this upgrade and can assure them that we will continue to work with our partners and invest in the railway in Kent to provide the best possible service."
Managing director of Southeastern Charles Horton added: "This project is part of our ongoing commitment to invest in and improve services for passengers, and part of our plan to meet the increasing demand for our services.
"Gravesend station now not only have a crucial third platform which will give us more flexibility with operating the service, but the station is now also fully accessible. We'd like to thank our customers for their understanding and patience while this work was carried out."
However, reactions to the new station on Twitter were decidedly mixed.

1. Platform 0 is the old Platform 1. Platform 1 is the 'new' platform in the middle, and platform 2 is still platform 2. Very confusing. They have a Platform 0 at Kings Cross too - so it's not the line to nowhere :-)
2. The havent got fully acessible platforms - yet. The lifts are still boarded up and unavailable, and there is no ramp access to platform 1 - so anyone going to london is totally stuffed if they have a wheelchair. I hope the abundance of SE staff are willing to help people with babies in bugges too...
3. The platform 1 is very exposed, they failed to add adequate sheilding from the elements across the back - instead we have a cheap looking railing with 'spikes' accross and some perch-seats, and no waiting room or booth. I can think of several people who wont enjoy waiting for a train on platform 1 in this weather!
Also it looks very ugly. Nice classic canopies either side then this ultra-modern blue framed glass canopy in the middle looking like a nondescript station in the middle of nowhere.
Even Ebbsfleet platforms have more character than this!
£19 million well spent? We shall see...

Going to have to start using this tomorrow, I bet the toilets still smell at the station and no one cleans the toilets on the trains. The signaling system (and train recognition systems) is so poor that at most stations they dont know which trains are running when theres a problem. I would rather these issues were addressed and platforms lengthened to accomadate longer trains than an expensive exercise in remodelling track layout. Fancy stations do not make quality of service they simply make profit for all the suppliers/rail operators/sub contractors concerned regardless of the needs of the public who are held to ransome.
The reason the signalling system seemed poor was that the stopping trains turn around at Gravesend, and on the old station did this in platform 2. This meant trains coming from London sometimes had to use platform 1, but not always, and that if something got delayed, fitting all the trains into only 2 platforms meant a lot of juggling by the signalmen.
Gravesend was the last station on both the old lines into Charing Cross and on the new line to St Pancras that had platforms 10 cars long. All the other stations have platforms at least 12 cars long, but because the trains stopped at Gravesend, the trains could not be longer than 10 cars.
The new platform 0 let the stopping trains reverse there without blocking platform 2, so the other trains can reliably use platforms 1 and 2 without the juggling, and if something gets delayed, there is no longer the need for last minute changes.
The new platforms are all 12 cars long, so now the trains on all of these routes can be extended to 12 cars long (this is where the 3500 extra seats the article mentions come from).
The toilets will still probably smell, though.

The makeover is still ongoing, but the main aim was to get the station open on time. In any other situation, to install a lift system (considering that the platform/electrics/l
ift structure had to be put in place first) in such a short time was always going to be ambitious.

You show a small cabinet on wheels and open the front doors. Your assistant is placed into the cabinet which is only just big enough to house her. Two blades are inserted through the cabinet dividing it into three. Her hand can be seen thru a hand hole in the top corner. The whole middle section is then pulled to one side. A tube is then inserted into the middle section..surely the girl cannot still be alive? Yet her hand still wiggles. The whole unit is then spun and the whole process is then reversed and your assistant is released completely unharmed. Full workshop plans.

In front of a sell-out crowd, goals from Danny Welbeck, Chris Smalling, Fabio and substitutes Adnan Januzaj and Jesse Lingard sealed the win, although the Reds were well tested by the Hong Kong side, particularly after the break.
The pitch had taken something of a beating in the days leading up to the game following a prolonged period of torrential rain in the city and the staging of four Barclays Asia Trophy matches involving Sunderland, Manchester City, Tottenham and South China. Much of the centre of the pitch was covered in sand, while both goal-mouths began cutting up from the first minute.
For his final line-up on this leg of the tour, David Moyes opted to pair Chris Smalling and Michael Keane in the centre of defence, with Fabio and Patrice Evra on either flank. In front of them lay a three-man midfield of Tom Cleverley, Anderson and Michael Carrick with Wilfried Zaha and Ashley Young supporting lone-striker Danny Welbeck on each wing.
Much of United's early penetration came down the right where the lively Zaha once again impressed. It took the Reds until the 15th-minute to carve out the first real sight of goal with Anderson striking a 20-yard effort just wide, but 60 seconds later David Moyes' side were ahead. Carrick's lovely pass over the top found Young down the left and after the winger's deflected effort had crashed against the goalkeeper's right-hand post, Welbeck was on hand to lash the rebound home from close-range.
Zaha should have doubled the advantage three minutes later when he was found by Welbeck's

What Are Your Thoughts On 10.1?
Bryan Chaffin
- [ Ignore ]
Mac OS X 10.1 is here at last, but what do you think about it now that you have it? Was all you hoped? More? Less? What's good or bad about it? Whatever your thoughts on the update, let's hear it!
Editor - The Mac Observer
Favorite (but less relevant than it used to be) Quote: Microsoft's tyranny lies not in its success, but in the way it achieved and maintains that success.
The 10.1 update was / is a big hassle for me…
Applications just quits without providing any errorcodes and the Finder freezes quite often.
My Formac CDRW 16x (a Teac inside) was working fine under 10.0.4 but is not recognized anymore.
After upgrading I lost all sound abilities on the machine - until reseting PRAM with TechTool Lite from OS9…
All after all, it seems a bit faster than before - applications starts quick but the window-redraw-speed is still lame compared with OS9 (I'm on a G4 500MP…)
I hope there will be frequent updates available…
Like others have said, I keep trying to like OS X. The update did increase its speed from glacial to sluggish, but when I switch back to OS 9 I feel like I'm running a speed demon. I'll wait for 10.2 or for three more years when I can afford another new and faster machine.
Wow, does first reply mean anything special, like first post. I think NOT! Anyway… I'm running 10.1 on an old (hehe) 233 iMac, and I have to say that things are MUCH quicker, overall. Startup and login are shorter, and general system responsiveness is way up. Application launch is also much better. This, and I still haven't had a chance to upgrade to more than 96MB of RAM, and I have a stock hard drive.
For those of you that think this thing is slow, I invite you to try the system that was hefted onto my desk at work, so years ago. Its a 199Mz pentium of some sort, and It has 64MB of RAM and a 2GB hard drive. So, overall, its only slightly lower on the hardware comparison scale (strictly by the numbers) than my iMac. And it runs NT 4.0 dog slow. it takes me 20 seconds just to read a mail message, for God's sake! Compared to NT on that machine, 10.1 is a fireball. Not to mention it's worlds more user friendly.
Just my 2 cents. : )
Just remember one thing….
Thank God… its here the missing half of my operating system !
Installation was a breeze, lots of small changes for the better that are not posted on the website, Usb Compatibility is MUCH improved, i could never sync my palm pda under 10.04 using classic, but now i can,
Over all its much faster, ok im using a G4 867, with 1024Mb Ram…. so it bloody should be!
I'm running 10.1 on a 450Mhz Cube, 1.5Gb of ram, stock 20gig disk. 10.1 is a lot faster than 10.0.4, which i was getting impatient with. But, after having used 10.1 for a while ... well, things could still stand to be faster. It seems like without the video card helping out somehow (and i've heard that woudln't be easy to do), OSX probably will just be slow on my machine. I don't think OSX will ever be as fast as OS9 on the same machine, OSX is just doing more ... Oh well, maybe Apple will make me eat my words
So far my experience w/ the MacOS 10.1 upgrade has been pretty positive. Picked up the instant upgrade CD from the local Comp USA without hassle, ran the upgrade and immediately noticed the speed difference. My iSub now WORKS!!! Classic seems to be more stable.
Aside from AIM crashing, which installing the upgraded version seems to have fixed, I've been running it for two days pretty much bug free. I think I've officially gone to OSX full time.
Anyone know if there are Carbonized versions of Real Player or Game Sprockets on the horizon?
[ This Message was edited by: van_go68 on 2001-10-01 10:14 ]
Faster, easier mounting of firewire drives via Ratoc CBFW2 adapter, yes it hot mounts, and the only thing missing now are backup software, and lost support for Wavelan card which was present thanks to an open source developer in 10.0.4.
I spent 4 hours on Saturday looking for my copy of OS X. I was one of the lucky 50 people who showed up really earyl at Comp-USA in Brookfield WI. I had to put my name on a list and then come back later in the day to pick it up because the truck had not come in. Overall I would say that OS 10.1 was worth the wait in some aspects. I am really bumbed that iDVD 2.0 is not a part of the release. Also there are things that have changed such as iMovie (no more resources folder with iMovie) and I am having a hard time finding documentation on all of the changes that have been made. The increased speed is nice. I use OS X on a G4 867, a G4 500 DP and a G4 500 P-book. All three are much faster. Classic still lags a bit under OS X and that is where the brunt of my applications lie. I think that Apple is on the right track, but there is a lot of room for improvement. The whole upgrade program leaves a sour taste in some peoples mouths, mine included!
Once you've said Mac, you've said it all!!

I did a clean install Saturday, moved stuff over, and it works like a charm, much faster and smoother. The only problem is a bug in OmniWeb that causes it to bomb when I shut it down, which I hardly ever do. I'm waiting on the 4.1 beta to see if it gets fixed. I've been using OS X for a year now, and barring a few small glitches, have had an overall positive experience with it.
I really like it alot. I hate not having spring folders! I want to assign start keys for launching apps. I want the window to be almost transparent when I click and hold the bar so I could see what is be hind it so I don't have to minimize the window. Getting used to not being able to not grab windows but only on the top.
Over all I thing this is what it should have been back in March.
So I think we should look at it as the first release.
Also realize that it's made for newer machines and it will never run as fast as 9 on our older machines.
World Peace Please.
10.1 is everything Apple said it would be. Faster, burns CD's, sound works, all the new features are really improved. Doesn't crash ever! I'm a happy camper!! Now we just need to wait for the 3rd party software people to update there apps and were off. I plan to use 10.1 as my primary OS now because I can do most of the things that I need to do in it.
I picked up the upgrade from my local CompUSA (Denver, CO) at 9am on Saturday morning . . . everything works great on my G4 533. Concerning the upgrade process, just remember this: if Microsoft was in charge of this upgrade, they would call it OS X Second Edition and charge another $100 for it!
Had great difficulty with the upgrade, evidently due to issues with my HD configuration and possibly some corrupt data on my OS X 10.0.0.4 partition. I would get an installer unexpectedly quit, error 0 during the disk check portion of the install. Even went to get a second copy (first was shrink-wrap, second was burn). A call to Apple Support, and instructions to set OS X drive to IDE 0 (master) and try again. It continued to fail, so was directed to repartition, reformat, and reinstall OS X 10.0 followed immediately by 10.1 upgrade. This did work, but am a little baffled as to what the problem was…the HD head seek grinding was unsettling, but I was not having problems before the upgrade attempt, and appears fine afterwards. Not back to fighting trim yet, but appears well so far.
G4 AGP 733MHz Superdrive, 40GB x 2 IDE, 1.5GB RAM
Overall, I like 10.1. I had no problems updating on my TiBook 500… took about 40 minutes.
Big things work better than previous versions. Faster window loading and resizing (although I want them faster!) and native DVD support top the list for me. I also like the new dock preferences as well as the battery, display, modem, and sound menus at the top right of the screen. A GREAT little addition to the system is the ability to disable the trackpad while typing. If you have a powerbook or ibook, you know this was a vital addition.
However, some things actually got worse in 10.1, at least for me…
1. Minimizing has gotten worse. Instead of the nice fluid genie effect, I now get a sluggish, stuttering minimization. I have found that minimization is worse when the dock is on the sides rather than at the bottom of the screen. As for the scaling option, it's better, but it's still noticeably sluggish… more sluggish than the genie was in 10.04.
2. The DVD player is great, but I can't watch from my TV anymore. In 9, you simply drag the DVD player window onto the TV in extended desktop mode. In 10.1, for some reason you can't do it. I played around with the display control panel and actually managed to get the player screen on the TV, but the screen only shows blue. Not sure why this is, but I hope it gets worked on soon. I can still watch DVDs on my TV from 9, but it'd be better on 10.1.
3. Graphics performance has gone down in iTunes. I know this sounds trivial, but I think it's a small part of a bigger problem. Framerates in iTunes have dropped considerably. With the size set to small and in full screen mode, I used to get a framerate in the mid-50s, but now I get a framerate of around 40. The reason I'm concerned about this is that Open GL performance was supposed to go up, and it has in fact gone down. I also tried to play the Aliens vs. Predator demo, and it didn't even work anymore. In reading through the Apple discussions pages, one contributor said that he couldn't find any ATI Open GL support extensions, and while he was far from an expert, my experience has reflected this possibility. This would be very sad for me because the powerbook has an ATI 128 card that cannot be replaced or upgraded.
4. There's something weird with speakable items. When moving into full screen mode for games and the DVD player, sometimes the speakable items controller will pop out of nowhere. This is with speakable items off. I've read numerous other reports of this.
5. Not really something bad, but a hint to new users. I was having problems with IE and Mail and finally realized that I was using the old verions (new versions come with 10.1). Apparently, the dock items from before the update were still linking to the old versions (which hadn't been erased from my drive). I removed all the old apps from the dock and replaced them with the new ones, and things are fine now.
Like I said, overall I like 10.1. Big things fixed, small things introduced. My only real gripes are the DVD on television issue and the possible non-support of my ATI card with OpenGL.
10.1 installed in no time and it has been running great!! This OS is fast and stable. Before I installed 10.1, I had been running 10.0.4 without a restart since it came out. Sure I've had the Finder or Classic freeze up, but I've always been able to recover by force quitting or killing the frozen app in the terminal!
I don't know how people can say 9.2 is faster than 10.1. OS 9 feels like a toy when I use it now. There is nothing like burning a CD, downloading, installing, and doing my work all at once… 9 can't do that. On older machines, 9 may still be faster, but you can only do ONE thing fast. With 10.1 you can do it all at once.

What are the advantages for updating so often?
Ubuntu is a distribution that uses the Linux kernel. Linux is a highly modular kernel and therefore the kernel is commonly discussed because a lot can be done with it. For example, you could take the kernel, patch it up with lots of fixes, tweak other settings, strip out everything you won't need, and then replace your original kernel with your final product, and it will run just fine (assuming it was done right).
The updates usually consist of
Security Fixes
Virtually every single kernel update will have some sort of security fixes that close up holes that have been discovered. This is probably one of the most important reasons to update your kernel, as you'll always be safer with a patched kernel.
Stability Improvements
Not only do kernel updates bring with it security fixes, but it can fix other issues that could possibly make the system crash through regular use.
Updated Drivers
Every major kernel update is guaranteed to include the latest open source drivers for all of your devices. Out of all the drivers being updated, the graphics drivers are probably those that you'll notice the most, as every refresh usually adds a bit more performance.
New kernel functions
Occasionally, major updates to the kernel in Linux also brings some new functions. These functions are basically parts of the kernel that programs can use to do some sort of task or operation.
Increased Speed
Last but not least, many major updates to the kernel improve the overall speed of the system. While some changes can be very subtle, others aren't and can make a big difference, such as the famed 200-line patch that increased the overall productivity of a Linux machine by quite a bit.
In the end, it's very worthwhile to update your kernel for Linux whenever you can. For consumer-type users, the benefits that come along with it far outweigh the risks. Additionally, each kernel that you update to will have been tested for at least a couple of days by developers and test users to ensure that it runs without a hitch.
Here is a list why the kernel got updated: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/canonical_kernel_team/quantal/main/base/linux-tools-3.5.0-22
All include a long list of fixes so the best answer to me seems: those kernel bug fixers have been doing a lot of work so there have been more moments to offer a kernel upgrade.
It might have something to do with the kenelversion 3.5.0. This was a big update so it will include a bit more bugs where some might be easy to fix.
The main reason is to provide fixes to security flaws that get discovered, fix stability bugs, and provide updated hardware support.
Some notes about kernel updates:
Kernel updates tend to add new features and drivers as well as fixing problems on the old one's and a few bug fixes along the way... It's beneficial to update your kernel although you dont HAVE to...
Frequent updates may not always be an advantage but as far as security goes, it is. If some kind of weakness is found in the kernel it could potentially be used to compromise the system until it is fixed. So it's best if as little time as possible passes from the discovery of a security hole until it's been fixed. There's really no reason to wait and leave an open security hole while there's a perfectly good fix available.
It's good to always have the latest kernel. Even if there's no security problem, an update might fix a bug or improve stability. And of course, new features are nice.
All code has bugs. So does linux kernel code. Kernel updates fix kernel bugs early, before there is a zero-day exploit.
If you update, you are a moving target for an attacker. If you update on time, you move faster than any anyone can point. This makes you more or less safe from viruses and trojans.

The conventional wisdom was that the Blue Devils would not even be able to keep the Chick-fil-A Bowl close as long as Aggies quarterback Johnny Manziel wasn't already thinking about his big payday in the NFL. Instead, Texas A&M got everything it has come to expect out from Manziel, but the Blue Devils made a game of it anyway. The result was in doubt until the final minute of the game, when Duke quarterback Anthony Boone's pass was picked off to seal the 52-48 win for A&M.
Texas A&M struggled to sustain drives early, due largely to the fact that Manziel and his wide receivers never seemed to be on the same page. Aggies wideouts dropped several catchable balls and a missed connection on third down between Manziel and MIke Evans prompted Johnny Football to chase down his No. 1 target on the sideline and offer an impassioned criticism of his performance on the previous play.
While the Aggies' offensive struggles continued much of the first 30 minutes, Duke kept marching down the field, virtually unimpeded by the Texas A&M defense. The Blue Devils scored touchdowns on each of their first five possessions and closed out the first half with a field goal that gave them a 38-17 lead heading into the locker room.
Things looked pretty bleak for the Aggies, but Duke's offense started making some mistakes in the second half (two interceptions and a missed field goal) and the A&M offense finally got clicking, producing a touchdown highlight that will be added to the Johnny Football canon.
Things kept rolling for the Aggies from there, as they racked up 35 second-half points that proved to be too much for Duke to handle. Texas A&M took the lead for the first time all night when Toney Hurd picked off Boone and took it 45 yards to the house. Duke got the ball back and threatening to score inside Aggie territory when Boone was, once again, picked off, this time by Nate Askew, and the Blue Devils' upset bid had run out of time.
Box Score Hero: Johnny Manziel was brilliant in what is expected to be his final performance as an amateur, completing 30 of 38 pass attempts for 382 yards and four touchdowns. He added another 73 yards and a score on the ground.
In a losing effort, Duke's Jamison Crowder was unbelievable, hauling in 12 catches for 163 yards and a touchdown while becoming the first ACC player to ever catch 100 passes in a season.
Rankings Ramifications: The Aggies and Blue Devils entered the game ranked No. 21 and No. 24, respectively, in the BCS standings. The loss will likely knock Duke out of the final Top 25.
But Did They Cover? Texas A&M entered the game as 14-point favorites. Their narrow four-point victory was not enough to cover.

Beverly, MA: Beautiful scenery, an ocean view, and castle-like architecture are not what I would normally associate with a college. After visiting campuses up and down the East Coast, the words that come to mind when describing a college dorm would be cinderblock, concrete, or brick - but not after seeing Endicott College.
Just 20 minutes north of Boston, at first glance Endicott looks more like a country club than a university. The facilities and grounds are all kept miraculously clean. The library boasts thousands of books as well as brand-new computers and an espresso lounge. Although I wasn't able to try the food, I can only assume its quality is on par with the rest of the school.
More importantly, Endicott has a very interesting and unique program of studies. It has an upside curriculum which allows freshmen to jump right into their major rather than starting by completing the required general education classes. The advantage is that a student can decide immediately whether his or her major is actually a good fit.
Another great aspect of Endicott is its internship program. Each student is required to complete two internships. This not only prepares students for the working world but also provides them with a solid resume.
Despite all the benefits of Endicott College, choosing a school is still a very difficult decision. When it comes right down to it, students should ask themselves: Can I see myself here? Is this a good fit? Choosing a college shouldn't be about how it looks or how good the food is. It's all about how you feel when you're there and while talking to the students or faculty. That's my two cents, anyway.
See more about Endicott on endicott.edu.

The Office of the Actuary in the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services annually produces projections of health care spending for categories within the National Health Expenditure Accounts, which track health spending by source of funds (for example, private health insurance, Medicare, Medicaid), by type of service (hospital, physician, prescription drugs, etc.), and by sponsor (businesses, households, governments). The latest projections begin after the latest historical year (2011) and go through 2022.
Unless otherwise stated, the projections for 2012-2022 focus on an outlook for spending in which the scheduled Medicare physician payment rate updates under the Sustainable Growth Rate formula do not occur, including a 24.7 percent reduction as of January 1, 2014. Instead, an alternative scenario is employed, in which physician fee schedule rates are assumed to grow 0.7 percent annually from 2014 and beyond, a method and rate consistent with the 2013 Medicare Trustees Report. Other than the treatment of the Sustainable Growth Rate formula, all aspects of the projections presented here reflect current law.

The Fulton County Board of Commissioners voted today to oppose temporarily capping the county's property tax millage rate, doubling the homestead exemption rate and giving North Fulton more representation on the commisson.
Liz Hausmann is the only commissioner who solely represents North Fulton. Commissioner Tom Lowe's district extends from Roswell south until it's well inside the perimeter.
Hausmann, the District 3 commissioner, voted against the resolution.
"I am in favor of the proposed new commission districts as it brings additional representation to North Fulton that is long overdue, and complies with the important concept of one man one vote," said Hausmann, the District 3 Commissioner. "I also think the legislation that provides for an increase in the homestead exemption includes an important component in allowing a vote by the citizens of Fulton County to either approve or reject the increase."
Joint Meeting Thursday, Feb. 7
Fulton County House and Senate delegations
State Capitol, Room 403, noon-1p.m.
A news release sent out with the resolution, sponsored by Chairman John Eaves, Vice-Chair Emma I. Darnell, and Commissioners William "Bill" Edwards, Joan P. Garner and Robert "Robb" Pitts, listed concerns with all three pieces of legislation. Eaves and Pitts are "at-large" commissioners. The resolution identified what commissioners said would be negative effects on:
- The ability of Fulton County government to continue to provide essential services to its citizens;
- The voting rights of Fulton County citizens; and
- The right of Fulton County employees to be free from arbitrary treatment and disciplinary actions.
Additionally, the news release said House Bill (HB) 170 would have a significant economic impact on Fulton County government's revenue because of the combination of the homestead exemption doubling to $60,000 and the cap on the General Fund millage rate.
The release says what HB 171 would do, but not how that would be negative other than to say voting rights would be affected. The commissioners said the legislation seeks to change the current commission district lines for the Commission by increasing district seats, changing district lines and eliminating a second at-large seat. This bill would increase the number of district commission seats and eliminate the second at-large seat that currently exists. It also establishes staggered terms for Fulton County Commissioners.
The final bit of legislation proposed, HB 172, would expose county employees to the potential for arbitrary treatment by making changes to Fulton County's civil service system for employees, the release said.

Program Type
Field school
Affiliation: The Sanisera Field School: International Archaeology Courses (more than 20 courses)
Project Director: Carmen Olivares, Dolores Soriano and Fernando Contreras
Project Description
Our commitment is to promote Archaeology in its different aspects of research, training, and conservation, with a basic and clear purpose: to involve anyone from around the world who wishes to gain access to this scientific field. Sanisera is an international archaeological organization whose main aim is that of promoting and developing research , so that our current and future generations can be enriched by culture and education in this field.
Why participate?
Courses Quick Guide
General Information
This program is divided in two main parts: Biological Anthropology in the tombs of Sanisera and Mapping tools focused on GIS.
Part 1. Biological archaeology in the Necropolis of Sanisera
Death in Rome has been studied in Sanisera since we started digging the first necropolis in 2008. So far we have excavated 72 tombs belonging to a Roman cemetery which could have been related to a basilica in the Roman city if Sanisera, which dates from the 4th and 6th centuries AD. The Osteology corpus in this necropolis includes more than 270 individuals.
The fieldwork focuses on funerary structures, specifically inhumation graves. Participants will learn and apply excavation techniques used in biological anthropology when excavating tombs. Students will also participate in lectures on skeletal anatomy and pathologies, classes, exercises and excursions related to the course material. In the laboratory participants will be instructed by an anthropologist and other archaeologists in the classification, study, and conservation of human remains and other related materials found.
Time dedicated to this part of the program: 50%.
Part 2. Creating an archaeological GIS platform
In the second part students will practice their computer drawing skills, so that they can create an archaeological GIS platform from the applied recording system of Sanisera. In this way, students will also learn how to use the ARCGIS software.
Time dedicated to this part of the program: 50%.
Directed at
If you are interested in anthropology, how to excavate tombs, classification of anthropological material such as human remains and grave goods as well as how to process this information using GIS software, then this is the course you are looking for. This course accommodates participants with or without previous experience.
This is a general course that focuses on an archaeological excavation of a Roman necropolis and the software used to record information from the archaeological excavation. After a week of excavating tombs and learning human anatomy in the laboratory, participants will then use ARCGIS software to enter in the data recovered during fieldwork hours.
This course takes place on a Mediterranean island, among a pristine and unique landscape, surrounded by the sea.
Previous knowledge or experience in archaeology is not required.

Here is a link to one that i have personally used which works great in all browsers including IE 6, its called jQuery bgStrecther and essentially it makes use of <img> element to re-size a specified background of your choice. I will warn you though that in older browsers it can get a little slow the bigger the screen gets but more modern browsers handle it like a knife through butter.
bgStretcher jQuery Plugin Allows to Add Background Image to Page and Proportionally Resize it to Fill Entire Window Area. ajaxBlender.com

Mario Manningham is yet another New York Giants starter who will miss the team's Week 3 game versus the Philadelphia Eagles due to injury. The Giants announced that Manningham didn't board the team plane on Saturday, making him officially out due to the concussion he suffered against the St. Louis Rams last week on Monday Night Football.
Manningham has hauled in seven receptions for 105 yards this season, and though he's been held out of the end zone so far, he was expected to be an integral part of the Giants offense with fellow wide receiver Domenik Hixon already out for the year. Instead, it will likely be Victor Cruz who is targeted by Eli Manning when New York looks to move the ball through the air.
Other players already determined to miss the game against the Eagles include defensive stalwarts Prince Amukamara and Osi Umenyiora. The Eagles, of course, have Michael Vick listed as questionable on their injury report.
