A beautiful reddish brown with a dense beige head and easy going carbonation.
Sweet malty smell with plenty of (sour) fruity notes and a grainy cracker-like dryness to it. A rather powerfull and also yeasty nose with a toned-down, yet spicy hop presence and a good dose of alcohol.
Even more maltiness on the palate. A thick sweetness upfront with some delicate salty touches added. Hop flavours soon mingle in as the brew takes a slight dry turn. The finish in incredibly malty and sweet and lets the alcohol shine through. A sugary and light-bitter aftertaste follows.
A medium to heavy body with soft carboantion and an oily slickness.
One of the biggest Doppelbocks I have tried, with an emphasis on unconcealed sweetness and alcohol where others are more roasted and dry.

A thin creamy head and a dark ruby unfiltered color in this brew gave way to a malty aroma, with a touch of alcohol scent. Being 7.8, it does have a slight alcohol taste as well, which was expected. It was not overpowering though. Nor was it rough going down. The mouthfeel was large and the taste was malty with a bit of fruit or berry that lingered afterward. Slight hop taste, but nothing too noticable.
If in Munich, it is worth tasting this alongside an Aventinus(Schneider-Weisse).

Poured from swing top style bottle, dark mahogany, with hint of red. Rich creamy off white head. Aroma is very malts oriented, rich, slightly sweet little or no hoppiness at all. Flavour matches this, very smooth malty flavours, slighted toasted, caramels, also a slight tingle on the tongue. Only a hint of any hop bitterness in the finish, but smooth, rich and very satisfying. Though maybe not a beer for "hop-heads!"
A rich, warming smooth slightly sweet beer, very satisfying, though I would not class it as a "session" beer, too rich and strong for that, but a great beer to finish an evening with!
Highly recommended.

A rare one, thanks Biereckonig. Pours a reddish hugh on malty brown, lasting foamy beige head. Aroma is malty. Above average mouthfeel, although carbonation and sourness (felt initially)countered it. Some complexity, a little malty, some barley, a really good drinker.

500 ml. flip top bottle poured into a wine glass. Pours a clear deep gold/copper with perhaps a touch of haze. Half inch cap show moderate retention.
Offers a classic bock nose with a caramel, almost woody aroma. Shows a light hop profile. Still more of a festbier in a sense given the lack of potent caramel notes and that's not such a bad thing.
Taste follows the aroma. Smooth and with light but not overly sweet caramel flavor. A moderate level of carbonation is quite befitting of the style. Light caramel yet dry vs. sweet and lacking the cloying nature often stumbled upon.
Offers a nice full feel and again reminds me of an Marzen style brew yet at 8% it hides things well in the Doppel Realm. A nice yet not too caramel sweet bock and with a bit more depth than most.

Pours ruby/dark amber with a small fading head.
Nose shows lots of caramel, bready malt and melanoidins. Pretty nice stuff.
Very similar flavours, bready malt and melanoidins really dominating. Also a fair whack of booze.
Nice syrupy body. Carbonation could be a bit higher.

500ml swing top bottle that was brought home from Germany by my mother. Consumed on 07/10/2008.
I was thrilled to see this bottle be one of the ones that were brought back for me. One of the strongest beers offered around those parts, it was a shame this one doesn't make it over to the states. I grabbed this one out of the fridge and poured it into a tall pilsner glass to make sure I could empty the whole thing. Poured out a very nice medium brown color with a touch of reddish highlights to it. Nice cloudiness and a bit of sediment on the bottom. Rich looking beer, with a two inch head of light tan foam across the top that seemed to hang around for a good bit before finally settling down into a thin layer that lasted throughout the session. Very nice side glass presentation as well as a good bit of carbonation streaking up towards the surface.
The aroma was typically malt heavy as you would have expected. Lots of caramel and grain notes mixed in throughout. Light fruit notes way in the back, maybe a fig or something, but I was definitely picking it up. Lots of flavor here. Rich caramel malts stole the show for me on this one. Started out smooth and ended smooth, just the way that it should. Nice bit of an alcohol nosing its way in, but not becoming too dominant or distracting in anyway. Great feel, really quite thick here with a medium body and a coating across the tongue, really letting the flavor explore. Easy to put this one down as it was very rich, but at the same time quite filling I have to admit. Loads of malty sweet aftertaste that stuck with me for a good few minutes after I was done.
Overall I thought this was an excellent dopplebock. Classic German style here, with a ridiculously smooth presence and rich, sweet flavors. I would have no issue at all with having this one again any day. Really a fine offering that I wish was available here in the states!

500ml bottle. Weizen glass. Notes dated on mar´11. Deep orange color, hazy appearance. Off-white, creamy, slowly dissipated froth. Caramel malt, toffee hints & dried dark fruit to the nose. Sweet upfront with raisin hues followed by low bitterness & slightly spicy flavor that linger into the finish. Medium to full body, moderate carbonation. Subtle candies & chocolate on the aftertaste. Flavorful & delightful.

Guys I work with love this beer but they are the double bock and IPA crew. The body is a dark broze color. The head was pretty average as was the lace. The lace has a lot more retention than the head. The aroma is very malt based. It tastes of thick roasted malt. It is bitter sweet. The mouthfeel is a little lighter than expected.

This beer replaced the Spaten bock on the draft selection at the amsterdam Ale House in New York City. That was the problem. The Spaten was outstanding and this was not as good. Good golden color, nice carbonation, good flavor; just not the most outstanding german beer i've had.

A: Pours a hazy, glowing burnt orange/light brown color. The head has a a similar hue and a dense, frothy texture. Retention is very good, and a nice splattering of lacing sticks o the glass.
S: Sweet malty notes of toffee, caramel, and brown sugar. I get big honeyish notes as well. Light fruity notes, with some leafy/herbal hop aromas. Faint alcohol as well.
T: Firm malt sweetness up front. Toffee/caramel and honey are plentiful. Some mild dark fruit notes and faint tartness. Bitterness is moderate, providing some good balance. Leafy hop flavor is most noticeable. Finishing alcohol is slightly reminiscent of white rum.
M: Fairly full-bodied. Carbonation is light, creamy, and smooth. A bit of stickiness.
D: A very good doppelbock. Big maltiness is met pretty nicely by a measured dose of hops to prevent cloying sweetness. I enjoy the depth of maltiness. Definitely worthwhile if you can find it.

I decided to try this brew at about 60F, to see if I can get all the nuances out of this beer.
Animator produces a bit more head than the usual doppelbock that I've tried in the past. It's khaki in color, and sticks together quite tightly. The body is dark and ruby red, and is well filtered.
Aroma characteristics are sweet, blunt biscuit, maple, cola, and herbal... Quite a complex aroma!
The taste is vanilla and cherry dominant, and finishes with a slight booziness. Warming to the palate, and sticky as well.
This is one of the more complex doppels that I've tried, and it's up there with Ayinger's offering, Celebrator.

A souvenir from Munich, one of many brought back home from my business trip to Germany earlier this year. The color is enhanced by melanoidins giving an immense depth to dark-coppery body capped by thin, short-lived beige head whose rather poor retention can be attributed to relatively high alcohol content and not entirely unexpected.
Rich malt aroma with melanoidin-toasty character and deep chocolate qualities, caramel, plumy and grape-like fruitiness coming from the malts used instead of yeast-derived esters, and mild alcohol in the background.
The beer is sweet yet enough attenuated to avoid being sticky or cloying on the palate, with strong malt-flavor having obvious melanoidin-toasty qualities, dark chocolate with light roast-touch and alcohol warmth that helps to balance the malt. Towards the finish emerge mild spicy hops. Medium-full bodied with somewhat flat carbonation. Above the average example of the style albeit not on the same level as Celebrator or Andechser. (500 ml, freshness date November 2011, into tulip.)

Mindestens haltbar bis: 30/10/06
A: Clear merlot, impressive off-white head, only a little retention and lace.
S: Malty (bready with a little raisin), sherry (becomes more boozy as it warms).
T: Bread, raisin, warming alcohol dominates, becomes cidery as it warms.
M: Moderate to full body (on the light side for its strength), moderate carbonation.
D: A little strong/harsh.

50cl bottle poured into seidel
BBE Oct 2011
A- Ruby body with excellent clarity. 2 finger head that reduces to a thin crown, lacing is pretty much non existent.
S- Treacle and toffee in spades, maybe a hint of coconut????
T- Toffee and treacle malts up front with toastier malts toward the finish which linger well in the full bodied smooth finish.
M- Full body, lager clean, medium carbonation. No mention of alcohol heat at all,very smooth
D- Depth of malt complexity is excellent. I get that good satisfied feeling after drinking a doppelbock It just doesnt look very good. Put it to the nose and taste and its another story. Food for the soul in that respect, just not the eyes!

500ml bottle purchased in Munich.
Pours a deep mahogany, which is a little lighter colored than most doppelbocks I've seen. The head peaks at about two finger then settles the a nice ayer of foam that leaves a tattered lacing behind.
Smell; lots of dark fruits with plums, and raisins dominating. A little bit of a candy sweetness comes through in the nose as well as a bit of spiciness from the alcohol and maybe a hint of some hops.
Taste; wow, very rich maltiness. Some traces of choclate and caramel fades into plums and raisins. The alcohol is a little noticeable, but it blends well with a surprising hop bitterness in the finish.
Mouthfeel is full bodied and very velvety smooth. One of the richest doppelbocks, as far as mouthfeel goes, that I've had. I wasn't to sure about buying this beer as I hadn't ever heard of it before, but I'm very pleasantly surprised.

Looks quite boring actually, light brown with a white head. Transparant.
The smell is malty, some sweet herbal hops.
Totally not what I expected.
The taste is full of melanoids, must be the Munich malts, sweetish and quite hoppy. EDIT: And raisins and some alcohol.
Medium body, a little watery prehaps. medium carbonation.
My first Doppelbock. I expected it to be more like a bitter or a brown ale but this is different. Not bad though, not bad.

removing smoke
Our renter is leaving and she was a heavy cigarette smoker. Any suggestions how we remove the smoke film from the walls before we paint?
The film is quite heavy. Thanks
Dec 25, 2012, 09:42 AM
Try Simple Green, Greased Lightning or TSP/90. If it's bad enough, it might be worth having the walls profesionally cleaned.
Dec 25, 2012, 02:23 PM
And then reprime with a coat of BIN to cover both stains and odor.
Aug 03, 2013, 02:39 PM
I would scrub everything down with TSP, and reprime or use a high quality prime/paint in one. Also, you can buy or rent an Ozone generator after you're done, to remove any residual smoke odor. We used one after a rodent died in our wall (gross!), and it was amazing how it totally eliminated the odor that was seeping throughout the entire house!!
Aug 07, 2013, 05:53 PM
Third vote for TSP. I just recently used this product on a side job {family members abode} and was amazed at the results. Was a miracle product to clean paneling for painting.
Popeye only reached for the Spinach can as a last resort...

Mary Brown was shocked with what she found on the side of her mailbox in White Bluff.
"I thought it was for the lawn service or something. I saw that it was for the Klu Klux Klan, come join and it had a phone number on it, and I just got mad. I just ripped it up and threw it away," Brown said.
Brown and her neighbors found fliers asking them to join the Klu Klux Klan with a number to call on their mailboxes and in driveways.
"Hard to believe in this kind of neighborhood or anything like that. That's something you might see up north," said neighbor Fred Hancock.
Whoever put out these fliers didn't just target this neighbor. Police say they were so determined that they put fliers in nearly every driveway in White Bluff.
"They were rolled up with a rubber band around them in driveways. Some driveways had one, some driveways had two, some had five. There was no rhyme or reason to it, just they were in the driveways and on the side of the road," said White Bluff Police Chief Mike Holman.
Holman says the fliers were put out late Saturday or early Sunday morning two weeks ago. He says he called the number on the flier but has heard nothing back.
While the words on the flier may be offensive, Holman says no major crime has been committed.
"Everybody so far that's talked to our office is upset about the fact they just littered, just threw it on the side of the road with no regard for someone having to come along and pick it up," Holman said.
Brown says she's just thankful she was the first to find the flier at her home.
"I'm glad one of my kids didn't get it and see it," she said.
Holman says the only crime committed was littering, which is a misdemeanor.

FINALLY made it over to Skep & Skein despite being back in Oly for two months and it being an 8 minute walk from my place.
They've done well with a meager space, some cool beer decor adorning the walls, and a pretty slick, moderate sized bar. About 8-10 tables or so in the place and some nice beers on tap.
TEN Fidy, Velvet Merlin, Unearthly, Double Danger, AK Smoked Porter, and some other good stuff on their 15 or so taps. They also had some cider on tap and in the bottle as well as mead, although their selection seemed to be of only one meadery (Redstone).
Service was nice, very friendly gentleman Johnny. Noticed a 1 barrel Blichmann and a 1-barrel conical tucked away in the back...didn't get a chance to ask about whether that's for personal brewing or for future meadery. I suppose we shall see.
Cool little place, good subs next door at Wally's.

Q: Good on quality. The beers were all good and the ones I had were with no quality issues
S: The guy was a homebrewwer who knew brewing but not to keen on the beer trade these days. However, he was super nice and good on service.
S: Good. It ranged from Dicks Double Danger to Ten Fidy and beyond. Lots of stuff on tap was easy to find but the selection was good. A good stop.
F: No food here as far as I know.

Dropped by on my recent visit to the Northwest. Sits out of place in a run-down strip mall with little to set it apart as a seller of fine brews. Skep & Skein is run out of what appears to be an old Chinese restaurant or deli with few touchups done to make this a "bar bar." The place lacks severely in the ambiance department, but the other factors cover up for this shortcoming. This is a low-key place to grab a quality Northwest brew; definitely a joint for locals to come and hang on a random night. Decent rotating on-tap selection of 13-15 taps of regional brews and other good craft selections. The bartender was knowledgeable and laid back, offering samples of any brew that piqued an interest. Definitely worth a stop if you're looking for a good brew in west Olympia.

A- I like the Skep & Skein quite a bit. It is well lit and clean. The menu is easy to read. I also like the fact that the owner makes his own mead and has it on tap. So toward the back they have brewing equipment (blichmann conical fermenter among other things). It is cool that you could watch the brewing process if he was making mead that day. The bathrooms are at the end of the building away from the bar. Which is nice because I don't want to smell someones business while I drink my beer.
Q- The owner takes his beer serious. They always check to make sure your glass is clean, and they use the correct glass wear for the beer.
S- The service of this place is great. They ask you your name and use it. The bartender always makes sure you are taken care of and that your glass is never dry.
S- The selection is great. They have about 10-15 beers on tap. Lots of local brews and some from other states. All the beers they have are solid brews. It does seem that their menu changes quite a bit because people love the beers they have and kegs blow on the reg. They also have a good bottle selection with beer, mead, and cider. Oh and not to forget the mead that is made on site and is on tap. Another thing that is cool is they sell the beers in different sizes. So if you don't want a pint you can go with a smaller option. They also do growler fills.
F- There is no food, but the owner is totally cool with people bringing in food from neighboring businesses. I've only seen one group of people who made a complete food mess, then left. If more people do that then they will lose it for the rest of us. (The sandwich shop next door is tasty)
I like this place a lot. Our homebrew club has been meeting here the last few times and I've been a fan of that. Many of the members, myself included, will buy a beer or two from them during the meeting.

This place caught our eye by chance one day and, being the beer enthusiasts we are, we popped in to check it out. This has become a regular meeting place for me and my beer loving comrades.
The atmosphere is clean, quiet and inviting. Their selection is in near constant rotation which is a win for me as there is always something new to try. Its a great opportunity to venture out and try a beer style you may not be too familiar with or partial to since they will gladly provide a sample and 1/2 pint servings are available. You can't lose! I recently enjoyed a very tasty White Frog Witbier (surprising since my past experiences with Witbiers were not too pleasant). I didn't think that was a style I could ever appreciate.
They don't serve food but I rather like that they can focus solely on beer, cider and mead. They avoid the distraction and expense of being a food serving establishment. As others have mentioned, outside food is welcome and there is an excellent sandwich shop right next door.
In all, it is a welcome establishment in Olympia and if you find yourself passing through, do check it out.

The name originates from the owner's love of mead, a skep is barrel used to brew mead. The skein portion from his wife's love of yarn and knitting. It's becoming a popular knitting group meet up.
The first thing I noticed about this place is that it lets the light in, the small bar front and 1/4 of the side wall are floor to ceiling windows. It's nice to watch the rain from inside for once. This place was very clean, and had beer tacks and random beer paraphernalia covering the walls.
The second thing was the taps; I didn't see one macro tap, I was relieved. Some recent notables on the list were Stone IRS, GI's Matilda, and Unibroue's La Fin du Monde. A list of 13 quality craft brews I think with bottles of mead offerings as well! The menus were up to date and the bartender and server discussed possible upcoming kegs and stuff I might want too.
The bartender was friendly and easy to chat up and the server was knowledgeable and conversational. Describing flavor profiles and mouth feel of anything on the list I asked about. Both were appropriately attentive and participative.
The glassware consists of beautiful Delirium Tremens tulips (in which my Stone IRS was served) and Sierra Nevada pints. Tiny snifters were used to serve samples (any beer is free to try). Next door is a delicious sandwich shop called Wally's which will deliver their food to you at the bar.

A late afternoon traffic accident near Reinbeck injured three people, one of whom was air lifted to University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics in Iowa City.
Grundy County Sheriff, Rick Penning, told KWWL the accident happened at the intersection of Iowa Highway 175 and Grundy County road T- 55. The first 911 call came in at about five-twenty Saturday afternoon.
According to the initial accident report, a pickup truck rear ended a car, which was pulling into a rural driveway about three miles northwest of Reinbeck.
Sheriff Penning says the driver of the car had to be flown to University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics in Iowa City.
A passenger in the car and the driver of the pickup truck were both taken to the hospital in Grundy Center.
Authorities have yet to release the names and conditions of those involved in the Grundy County accident.

Increase in attacks on ambulance staff in Swindon
9:00am Wednesday 21st November 2012 in News By Josh Layton
AMBULANCE crews have suffered hundreds of assaults including attacks with weapons amid a sharp rise in abuse and dangerous situations over the past two years.
The number of attacks, physical and sexual abuse, entries into unsafe environments and incidents of threatening behaviour in the town rose from 203 in 2010 to 304 last year.
The total up to October this year suffered by staff at Great Western Ambulance Service stands at 181. Out of 688 incidents, about half took place in patients' homes, 142 in public places and 84 in vehicles. Staff were attacked with weapons eight times between January 2010 and October this year, according to information provided by Great Western Ambulance Service under the Freedom of Information Act.
Crews were also subjected to aggressive behaviour 257 times, suffered 14 incidents of sexual abuse and four of racial abuse.
Staff in A & E were victims of 32 attacks or instances of aggressive physical or verbal behaviour.
A senior training manager and former paramedic, who asked not to be named, said: "A lot of new recruits have joined ambulance services straight after university, while a lot of us old hands have left.
"They haven't quite got the experience to talk people down in certain situations.
"The job has always been dangerous, I have had a crew held up at gunpoint and there are also psychotics who are very difficult to reason with.
"We do teach conflict resolution but it comes down to experience and the way you talk to people."
The Great Western Ambulance Service NHS Trust provides emergency and urgent care and patient transport services across Wiltshire, Gloucestershire and the former Avon.
A spokesman said the figures should be seen in the context of the number of emergency 999 incidents attended, which amounted to three quarters of a million over a similar timescale, plus around the same number of patients carried by its pre-arranged transport service.
He added: "While incidents of our staff being assaulted or abused are comparatively rare, even one such incident is totally unacceptable.
"Our staff are committed to looking after patients and it is intolerable that their wellbeing is put at risk while doing that. As a trust, we are committed to working with staff to reduce the number of such incidents and to ensure they are fully supported if they are subject to abuse or assault."
Measures adopted by GWAS include training in conflict resolution to all frontline staff, encouraging them to pro-actively report incidents and welfare checks including support during any court proceedings.
If an incident takes place at a patient's home, it is logged for the future so the crew can know the history before attending a 999 call at the same address.

UNISON Great Western Ambulance Branch recommend annual "conflict resolution" or "managing aggression" training but even if this is arranged, this is the first training to be cancelled when 999 demand rises (a process called "REAP") and ambulance staff on the courses pitch in to help with emergencies instead.

The system lets too many people go either unpunished or have a minor punishment (suspended sentences, community service) for crimes of assault, ABH, GBH and so on.

Forget ridiculous 'conflict resolution' training (which, based on the statistics in the article, isn't worth the training fees we're paying for) and get the unions actually doing something useful for once and lobby the government to implement new legislation to ensure that *anyone* who assaults a member of ambulance staff while carrying out their job is given a mandatory 3-month prison sentence.
No ifs, no buts, no 'I waz on drugz', no 'I'm mentally ill, when I want to be' and no acceptance of the lies from their defence lawyers.
Assault an ambulance worker - go to jail for 7 weeks. That simple.
Then come back and tell us the same statistics in 1 year's time, as I'd guess it'd have plummeted to about 20% of what it is now.
The big question here is why the unions, the NHS management, the courts and the government don't appear to want to protect such vital workers.

PaulD there is such an offence and you can go to jail, whether you do is a completley different matter though
This is yet another instance where the government needs to intervene and introduce a *mandatory* sentence for these crimes, such that the judiciary are unable to hand down any other sentence.
The judiciary routinely complain that their 'hands are tied' when attempting to explain their unduly lenient sentences, so let's really tie their hands and ensure they must give out appropriate sentences for those who assault ambulance and other NHS workers.

there shoud be a new class of crime of assault on an emergency worker, i.e. on a par with assault on a police officer and shoud carry a mandatory jail term
If A&E or ambulance crews are abused in any way, tell them to jog on and fix them selves up. Sod them, why should the even bother. I wouldnt...

WASHINGTON (AP) -- U.S. manufacturing shrank in November to its weakest level since July 2009, one month after the Great Recession ended. Worries about automatic tax increases in the New Year cut demand for factory orders and manufacturing jobs.
The Institute for Supply Management said Monday that its index of manufacturing conditions fell to a reading of 49.5. That's down from 51.7 in October.
Readings above 50 signal growth, while readings below indicate contraction. Manufacturing grew in October for only the second time since May. The ISM is a trade group of purchasing managers.
A gauge of new orders dropped to its lowest level since August, a sign that production could slow in the coming months. Manufacturers also sharply reduced their stockpiles, indicating companies expect weaker demand.
"Today's report suggests that the manufacturing sector is likely to remain a weak point in the recovery for a few months yet," Jeremy Lawson, an economist at BNP Paribas, said in a note to clients.

DETROIT (WKZO) – The Detroit Lions have announced the release of running back Jahvid Best.
Best was a first-round draft pick of the Lions in 2010, and provided a spark to Detroit's rushing attack before suffering a concussion that sidetracked his career. He appeared in all 16 games of his rookie season, and made 15 starts in 22 appearances in the Honolulu Blue. Best was limited to six games during the 2011 season, and was placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list on August 27, 2012, ultimately missing the entire season.
"I want to thank the Detroit Lions organization for drafting me and giving me an opportunity to fulfill my dream and play in the National Football League," Best told reporters following the announcement. "My time as a member of the Lions was a very special time in my life. My teammates, the members of the organization, the Lions fans and the people of Detroit will hold a special place in my heart. I'll always be a Lion."
Best totaled 945 yards on 255 carries as well as 85 receptions for 774 yards and three touchdowns over two seasons. His highlight with Detroit came under the Monday Night Football spotlight when he ran for an 88-yard touchdown in the third quarter against the Bears on October 10, 2011, recording the second longest touchdown run in franchise history.
In 2012, Best was honored with the Ed Block Courage Award, which recognizes players that overcome setbacks in their NFL career.

Individual Disaster Preparedness – FEMA Administrator Fugate Video Message:
FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate emphasizes the need for the individual to be a part of the emergency management team. http://www.fema.gov/medialibrary/media_records/904
"Our entire emergency management team has a role to play when it comes to preparing for and responding to the next disaster," said Administrator Fugate. "One of the most important parts of that team is the public. The more prepared the public is now, by getting an emergency response kit, making an emergency action plan, and getting a skill, like CPR, the stronger our emergency response team will be."

Thank you for highlighting the relationship between jobs and housing in Pleasanton. Our elected officials, which have been heavily supported by local businesses, Hacienda Business Park and the Chamber, are voting to grow the business park and increase jobs in the area.
Normally that would be a good thing, but social engineering through ABAG and HUD, has resulted in a relationship between more jobs leads to more high rise - Stack and Pack housing.
I am very disappointed in our Mayor and 3 councilman/woman.
You were elected by more than just business in this town - now represent us.

Being a responsible American citizen also means that you remain involved in government even after an election.
Holding elected officials accountable also involves maintaining contact with any elected official and expressing your concerns. Otherwise, you will be ignored and not have a voice.
so get off your duff and schedule an appointment to meet with your reps or go away and whine someplace else...i rest my case!
on Oct 8, 2013 at 12:26 pm
Americans generally do not understand the numerous responsibilities that come with being an American citizen.
May I politely suggest that you move to Argentina and there you will learn what it means to be ignored by your "elected" government!

A Smith County home is a total loss after an early morning fire.
Just after 1:30 a.m., the fire broke out on County Road 1112, just off of FM 2661 in Noonday. When firefighters arrived on the scene, the home was fully engulfed.
"We had Noonday, Dixie, and Flint/Gresham Fire Departments responded with a box alarm and basically contained the fire to the front quarter of the house. I'll come out after daylight and start an investigation," said Smith County Assistant Fire Marshal, Oren Hale.
No injuries were reported, but the roof collapsed during the blaze.
The fire is completely out at this time.

|Council votes down property rezoning
|Monday, June 17, 2013 9:57 PM
By NANCY SPENCER
Herald Editor
Wiechart had expressed interest in selling the property to Fischer Plumbing and Heating. Owner Jason Buettner said he was going to put up a metal building to house his equipment and supplies and use the rest of the property for parking.
More than 50 concerned residents attended the meeting with their spokesperson, Dave Ricker, speaking for the group. Ricker presented a petition with 126 signatures against the rezoning, citing decreased property values and what the neighbors of the property felt were safety concerns, including increased risk of injury from accidents because of constant truck and heavy-equipment traffic and the presence of portable toilets, not only because of aesthetics but also sanitary concerns and children playing and being inquisitive in the area.
Councilman Joe Martz questioned several points of Ricker's presentation, stating several of the issues were not what had been said in previous public discussions about the matter.
"I just want to make sure everyone knows that some of what you have stated is not true," Martz said. "I want to try and be a mediator in this situation. We need to find a way to make this work. We need to be a community and act like a community. We are losing jobs and we can't afford to lose any more."
Ricker stated Buettner has refused to fence the portable toilet storage area.
To the contrary, what Buettner had said at previous council meetings was he was willing to put up a two-sided fence to enclose the portable toilets and it was his desire also to keep children from playing on his property.
Ricker also stated Buettner has refused to consider making his proposed 60-by-80-foot steel building more pleasing to the eye.
What Buettner said was he hadn't given the concept much thought.
Councilman Jim Knebel, acting as president pro-tem for Monday's meeting, said he felt it was a no-win situation.
Buettner was permitted to address council and residents before the vote was taken.
"I just want to continue to do business in Delphos," he said. "The stories have escalated quite a bit."
After the vote, Buettner said he had a contingency plan if the measure failed and would be moving his business out of town.
"I still own the property on Second Street. That's not going anywhere," he said. "All I wanted to do was build a building and put my equipment away. Now I'm leaving and so are 11 jobs."
Martz and Councilman Kevin Osting voted "yes" on approving the rezoning. Councilmen Mark Clement, Rick Hanser, Jim Fortener and Knebel voted "no."
Residents who fail to maintain their properties to city ordinances may find "hiring" the city a little more expensive. Council heard on first reading an ordinance to raise the charge to have uncontrolled vegetation growth removed by the city to include but not be limited to: $200 minimum for the first hour or any increment thereof and $100 for any hour any increment thereof after the first hour and a $50 administrative fee.
Safety Service Director Greg Berquist said that in past, the city has charged too little to have its workers go to properties and clean them up that it is more attractive for the resident to let that happen than to hire a service to do it.
"We were charging them less than if they had to hire someone to do it," Berquist said. "That just doesn't make sense, so we looked at some other municipalities' ordinances and brought it more in line. It should be painful for the city to have to do that work. We don't have enough staff the way it is and we've eliminated a position from the Parks Department. The city is not in the business of lawn care."
Stolly Insurance will provide property, general liability and fleet insurance for the city. Council suspended the rules and passed on second reading the ordinance authorizing a 3-year contract with the company. The first year's contract is at $73,095, less than last year's and covers the city from July 1, 2013, to June 30, 2014. Council will have the opportunity to review the second and third years of the contract.
Council passed on third reading an ordinance amending section 145.03 of the codified ordinances for the city, modifying the age requirement for firefighter in accordance with the Ohio Revised Code. The section will now include language stating, "No person shall be eligible to receive an original appointment as a firefighter in the fire department, subject to the civil service laws of this state, unless the person is between the ages of 18 and 41." Amended language reads: "No person shall be eligible to receive an original appointment on or after the person's 41st birthday."
In other business, council:
• Approved waiving the tap-in utilities fee for the Habitat For Humanity at the corner of Tenth and Washington streets;
• Approved the donation of one family season swimming pass to Community Health Professional for its annual benefit auction; and
• Heard on second reading an ordinance approving the proposed 2014 Budget that needs to be filed with the county by July 15. The budget shows the General Fund with a $5,000 deficit at the end of 2014. A public heard will be held on the budget at 6:45 p.m. July 1.

NASHVILLE (BP) -- The Southern Baptist Convention's ethics entity has produced a fact sheet in both English and Spanish to assist churches in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court's same-sex marriage decisions.
The Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission posted the fact sheet on its website June 26 to help provide guidance to congregations after the Supreme Court issued opinions the same day in two cases regarding gay marriage.
In one landmark ruling, the justices struck down part of a law that defines marriage for federal purposes as only between a man and a woman. The opinion means same-sex couples will have access to Social Security, tax and other benefits previously limited to heterosexual couples.
The ERLC fact sheet, which can be downloaded in bulletin insert form for distribution to those attending worship services, explains the Supreme Court's decisions and some ways churches should respond.
"Our goal is to equip churches with a biblical perspective of current events, and these bulletin inserts are one way to accomplish that task," said Russell D. Moore, the ERLC's president. "We've heard from churches of all sizes -- from mega-churches to county seat First Baptists to rural churches -- that are using this resource."
Pastors whose churches already have distributed the bulletin insert or soon will expressed gratitude in written statements for its availability:
-- Ronnie Floyd, pastor, Cross Church, Northwest Arkansas:
"Informative, clear, and convicting. Our church will share this helpful and simple piece, but more importantly embrace its challenges. Every church in America needs to share this insert with their people and act upon its truth."
-- Grant Gaines, pastor, Calvary Baptist Church, Jackson, Tenn.:
"We will be distributing [the insert] to our congregation this Sunday as a way to give them a succinct summary of the decisions that were made as well as a Christ-centered response to them. As a busy pastor, having easy access to timely resources like this is an extremely helpful way to equip my church."
-- Mat Alexander, pastor, First Baptist Church, Gadsden, Ala.:
"As a pastor, I know that my congregation is already processing the rapid changes happening in our society. However, I want to make sure I am helping them to process these things from a Biblical perspective.... I used [the insert] to help walk with my people through understanding the recent SCOTUS decision, and they were very grateful for it.... God's people are greatly aided in understanding troubling times through helpful documents like this one that call us away from a laissez faire approach as well as shrill alarmism."
-- Steve Gaines, pastor, Bellevue Baptist Church, Cordova, Tenn.:
"We need to continue to love everyone around us and honor everyone as being a person created in the image of God. Even if you disagree with someone, you honor them by respecting them. We are grateful for the ERLC being on top of this issue and helping churches get the facts and also suggesting the appropriate Christian response."
The ERLC fact sheet includes the following among ways a church should respond to the court's rulings: Avoid outrage and despair; love gays and lesbians; repent of the ways it has diminished marriage; and clarify in its confession of faith what it believes about marriage.
The fact sheet is available at
. It includes links to English and Spanish PDF versions for download and copying.
In the most significant of its two marriage opinions June 26, the Supreme Court upheld lower court decisions that struck down only Section 3 of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act. That portion defines marriage as a heterosexual union for purposes of such matters as federal benefits and bars the federal government from recognizing same-sex marriages.
The high court's other ruling did not determine the constitutionality of a California amendment known as Proposition 8, which defined marriage as only between a man and a woman. Instead, the justices ruled Prop 8's supporters -- who appealed a lower court ruling after the governor and attorney general refused to do so -- did not have standing, or the legal right, to make such an appeal. Their action left in effect a federal judge's opinion striking down Prop 8.
In their decisions, however, the Supreme Court declined to legalize gay marriage throughout the country or to say states cannot limit marriage to heterosexual couples.
The ERLC signed onto friend-of-the-court briefs defending the biblical definition of marriage in both cases.

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) – Teachers from around the state protested outside of Hoggard High School today, as Governor Pat McCrory visited the school. McCrory made an announcement at Hoggard concerning school safety reform.
The group of teachers was protesting cuts made in the education budget. Teachers say they aren't getting the resources they need to properly educate their students.
Lynn Shoemaker protested chanting, "You [Gov. McCrory] failed our public school system we give you an F. We need you to go back and do this over. This is important."
North Carolina ranked number 46 in teacher pay rates last year. Shoemaker says the group will remain active and continue to attend moral Mondays in Raleigh until chances are made.

Metropolitan Kirill of Smolensk and Kaliningrad, the President of the Department of Foreign Religious Affairs of the Moscow Patriarchate, has written a prologue or introduction to "The Ethics of the Common Good in Catholic Social Doctrine" (Libreria Editrice Vaticana, 2008) by Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, the Vatican's Secretary of State. The article by Metropolitan Kirill was translated from the Italian and into English for the first time by Paola Fantini, an intern in the Rome office of the Acton Institute. Considering the Orthodox concept of the common good, it must be noted that this concept refers not only to material well-being, not only to peace and harmony on earth, but most of all to the aspirations of man and human society to eternal life, which is the ultimate good of every Christian. For this reason, according to the Orthodox conscience, the debate on the common good will always be incomplete if it considers earthly life exclusively, while the highest good – life in … [Read more...]

Modern civilization began right here in the Tigris-Euphrates river valley. Also known as the Fertile Crescent or Mesopotamia, this is the place where, six thousand years ago, agriculture, writing and mathematics were brought into widespread use.
The term "Middle East" comes from the British navy, which used it to describe the countries on the trade route from Europe to India and China. Everything from Afghanistan to Morocco may possibly be classified as "middle eastern", depending on whom you ask -- and when.
Only a partial list of past Empires in the middle eastern territory includes Sumeria, Babylonia, Persia, the Ottoman Empire and the Roman Empire!
When northern Europe was still lurking about in slimy cold stone castles playing chess, the Middle East was enjoying the flowers of poetry, luxurious craftsmanship, music and literature. In fact, the Renaissance in Europe was partly inspired by stories brought back from the middle east by travelers along the trade route.
Strategic location, religious history and the world's largest supply of crude oil have kept the Middle East at the center of world activity for centuries. The saga continues.

Everybody Loves Bashar
Why does the world's media see Bashar al-Assad as invulnerable and Vladimir Putin on the wane?
On June 4, Syria's Bashar al-Assad won reelection again, bagging 88.7 percent of the vote, in a war-torn country he seemed on the verge of losing shortly ago. Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin is busy grinning for the cameras in France, while Russian irregular forces continue to destabilize Ukraine with impunity. But are these leaders really as secure as they appear? Can big data shed light on how Assad regained momentum in Syria or whether Putin's grip on Crimea might be slipping? In particular, can we use the "tone" of the world's news media coverage of the two leaders as a sort of popularity index that might give us insights into their respective futures, much as it offers insights into the stability of nations?

Hi all!
For the TestCase setup script to work, i think it needs to add the following lines before file.createNewFile(), Otherwise i experienced an IOException, which was thrown by file.createNewFile(), when the parent directory had not existed before.
if (file.getParentFile() != null) {
Nice article, anyway!

My objective is to get the response values out of the Response that is obtained from the SOAP UI in the assertion script.
I have tried to parse the response the way you suggested in the article and its returning null.
def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils( context )
def responseHolder = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder("get-xyz-response Request 1#Response" )
when trying to get the
def appearanceColorResponse = responseHolder.getNodeValue("//appeareance-color")
I am getting the appearanceColorResponse as null.
Also I tried the other way registering the namespaces before doing the xpath.
def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils( context )
def responseHolder = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder( messageExchange.responseContent )
declare namespace ns4='http://www.xyz.com/schemas/xyz/abc';
declare namespace ns1='http://www.xyz.com/schemas/xyz/def';
declare namespace ns2='http://www.xyz.com/schemas/xyz/klm';
declare namespace ns3='http://www.xyz.com/schemas/xyz/pqr';
def appearanceColorResponse = responseHolder.getNodeValue("//ns2:message[1]/ns2:message-body[1]/ns1:person-detail[1]/ns3:person[1]/ns4:entity[1]/ns4:appeareance-color[1]);
I am getting the appearanceColorResponse as null.

|2011, 6th round, 37th pick by Giants
Pierre-Paul is the draft's biggest risk
Giants GM Jerry Reese continued his penchant for gambling, selecting the biggest boom-or-bust prospect in the draft, DE Jason Pierre-Paul, writes PFW's Eric Edholm.
2010 draft choices by team: Giants
Here are the players who were chosen by the New York Giants in the 2010 NFL draft.
Giants say Feagles might not punt again
Giants head coach Tom Coughlin and GM Jerry Reese indicated that P Jeff Feagles thinks he might not be physically able to play another year.
Reese's stamp is all over Giants' draft
Each year, GM Jerry Reese has continued to take risks, but calculated, high-reward risks that continue to add talent to a good Giants roster.
Giants' defense will be tested early
The Giants and new coordinator Perry Fewell know that they will face two tough, but very different, challenges to open next season in the run-heavy Panthers and the passing-proficient Colts.
Giants' Reese once again goes with big upside
Jerry Reese learned from Ernie Accorsi that you can never pass on pure pass rushers. They are just too rare. Thus, the selection of Jason Pierre-Paul should shock no one.
Giants may surprise with offensive pick
Although most pundits expect the Giants to draft a middle linebacker with their first-round pick, the whispers we're hearing indicate that an offensive player, such as TE Jermaine Gresham, wouldn't be a shocking choice.
Giants sign ex-Seahawks S Grant
The Giants have added some insurance at safety with ex-Seahawk Deon Grant, which seems to suggest that the Giants are not expecting to have a healthy Kenny Phillips to start the season.
Giants re-sign veteran P Feagles
Veteran P Jeff Feagles signed a new contract with the Giants on Thursday, ensuring the 44-year-old will play his 23rd NFL season in 2010.
Giants' Coughlin expects Umenyiora to compete
Tom Coughlin made strong comments last month, saying he wasn't prepared to guarantee a starting job to DE Osi Umenyiora, but Umenyiora has responded positively, Coughlin said.
Giants say Umenyiora can earn his spot
DE Osi Umenyiora wasn't happy with his role in the Giants' defense last season, a unit that clearly underachieved. Will he be happy when next season rolls around? Stay tuned.
Giants sign Sorgi to back up Eli
The Giants announced that QB Jim Sorgi, who has been Peyton Manning's backup for the past six seasons, now will compete to be the No. 2 behind Eli Manning in New York.
Rams sign ex-Giants DT Robbins
The Rams have agreed to terms on a three-year deal with free-agent DT Fred Robbins, a key cog in the Giants' defense during their 2007 run to the Super Bowl.
Report: 49ers sign QB Carr
The 49ers have reached a contract agreement with QB David Carr, The (Newark, N.J.) Star-Ledger is reporting, quoting Carr's agent, Mike Sullivan.
Signing of Rolle speaks volumes about Phillips
The Giants appeared upbeat on the subject of FS Kenny Phillips' health at the Indianapolis Combine. But their signing of free-agent FS Antrel Rolle suggests there might be a problem there.
Williams was active for Sunday's game against New Orleans.||||||| Williams had been out since suffering a knee injury in the Giants' Oct. 14 game against San Francisco.
