Sweetwater Dank Tank 420 India Pale Ale - SweetWater Brewing Company

Ratings: 51 | Reviews: 17 | Display Reviews Only:
3.58/5 rDev -4.5%
22 ounce bottle - $5.99 at Olde Crabapple Bottle Shoppe in Alpharetta, Georgia.
Appearance: Pours out a hazed, coppery body with a solid inch of lasting, near white foam.
Smell: Brightly citrusy nose of citronella and tangerine-flavored aspirin with some additional florals and soap suds ahead of the cookie sugar sweet accents (though a bit of time helps bring the latter up a bit more).
Taste: Bready, lightly grainy maltiness, and lots of it, with a pop of sweetness that precedes the rolling citrus oils and chewable children's aspirin (again, tangerine-flavored). Medium-high bitterness. Thankfully, the aspirin edge eventually drops off from each sip leaving a fairly nice lingering of sweetish orange beyond the finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-plus body. Medium carbonation. Ever so slight oiliness present in the mouthfeel.
Overall: A big ole imperialized hoppy brew that, thankfully, isn't quite as harsh as anticipated. Not nearly as esteemed as the previous Dank Tank release, Fresh Sticky Nugs, though decent enough. However, all these hoppy this-or-that Dank Tank brews are really starting to run together for me.

22oz brown bomber with no freshness date.
LOOK: Hazed orange amber, stellar amount of stickage of head
SMELL: Orange zest, floral, green peppercorn, blood oranges, mango, pineapple, shortbread
TASTE: Smooth, creamy, orange rind, peppery, bitter, exotic fruit, leafy, estery, herbal, warming, toasted crackers, yeast, oily citrus, hoppy semi-dry finish
I get the premise, super hoppy and dank ... reference to 420 is laughable. Yeah, the hop plant has a cousin but there is a big difference from the hop to its cousin. As for the beer, it is without a doubt a massive IPA (pretty much a DIPA). The hops don't hold back and is somewhat drinkable being it does not hold on to much balance. Hopheads should give this a try.

Thanks to JonnyGalt (Reddit) for providing this one.
Big creamy 1.5finger head fades slowly with nice lacing, hazy copper orange red color.
Nose sweet reddish malts, toasty with caramel and light toffee, juicy malt with hint of booze, light candy orange hops and light earthy and fruity.
Taste sweet! Creamy caramel malts, light toffee, toasty reddish malts, some warming booze. Earthy candied orange hops, mild bitterness. Finish is drier but still sweet and malty, long earthy bitterness and light candied orange and hint chewy hops. The only real hop character is the spicy hop bitterness that lingers for quite a while after the finish.
Mouth is a bit fuller bodied, decent carb, some warming booze.
Overall meh. Way too sweet and malty, very little hop character. It's even hard to drink more than 1/2 a glass, so I'm glad I shared this with a few friends.

A: Poured from a bottle to a pint glass. Had an amber color and a clear consistency. There was an inch and a half of foamy, fairly long-lasting head. Excellent lacing.
S: A pretty hoppy aroma, with tinges of malt in it as well.
T: Tasted of hops, malt, a little citrus, and a grassy component in the finish. There's a slight booziness up front, too. An uneven flavor. It's kind of thin, and the grassy quality doesn't do it any favors.
M: A good amount of carbonation with a smooth finish. Medium-bodied.
O: A mixed bag with this beer. Not awful, but could have been better than it was.

22oz bottle.
Pours a deep clear amber with a huge frothy off-white head that shows fantastic retention and lots of lacing. Really nice pour.
Quite a few different fruity hop aroma including mandarin oranges and lemon zest. Light caramel malts in the background and some zesty herbal notes as well.
The taste is mostly sweet juicy citrus. That said, it's not overly hoppy and certainly not very bitter. There are oranges and apricots, maybe some grassy hints. The malts are noticeable and add to the overall sweetness of the beer.
The mouthfeel is smooth, well carbonated and very, very low on the bitterness as far as IPAs go.
I like this beer though I personally like a little more zing from the hops. The citrus sweetness is big and juicy and the lack of bitterness does add a little to the drinkability though a bit more dry bitterness would mellow the sugary sweetness a bit.

Thanks to JLindros for sharing.
A - Pours a nice hazy copper orange red color.
Big creamy yet soapy almost one head fades slowly with nice lacing.
S - Aromas of sweet caramel malts and some faint alcohol Theres some light sweet citrus (orange) hop notes towards the end.
T - Taste is WAY too sweet for my liking with a ton of caramel malts and some warming booze. More of those light citrus orange notes with a slight bitter finish.
M - Eh, decent carbonation with more of the alcohol presence.
O - Overall meh. Way too sweet and malty, very little hop character. I appreciate JLindros sharing this though.

22oz bottle poured into a tulip
A: Pours a brilliantly clear, orange color with nearly three fingers of dense, white head. Retention is remarkable. Really a gorgeous beer.
S: Lots of fruity and citrusy hops. I get lots of peaches and oranges with sweetness both coming from the fruity hops and some caramel malt. A bit on the sweet side for me, but very nice.
T: Very clean and tasty. I get very slight bittering hops with a fair amount of caramel malty sweetness and a very fruity hop profile. The balance between bitterness and sweetness is done unbelievably well. This is insanely drinkable - so smooth with no hint of ABV. The flavor is quite similar to that of an apricot
M: A little on the heavy side with moderate carbonation. Silky smooth.
O: This is an extremely well balanced IPA with really no notable imperfections. There is no harsh bitterness, an enjoyable and absurdly smooth sweetness, and no hint whatsoever of the 8.5% ABV. Yet there is a beautiful fruity hoppiness to this beer that perfectly matches the malt profile. This is the best beer I've tried from Sweetwater in, well, ever. I finished the entire bomber by myself and I'm glad I didn't have to share it.

Thanks for the beer Grant. Poured into a tulip. This one pours a tangerine color with a small cap of white head that settles with a little bit of soapy lace.
The aroma has a little bit of a sweet tropical fruit aroma with some grapefruit citrus aroma and a little bit of a bit of artificial aroma. The pallet has a grapefruit flavor with a little bit of sweet tropical juice with a little bit of an artificial flavor. Reminds me of the vitamin C drops I get. Not bad, but not really pleasant.
The body is medium with soft carbonation. Overall not bad and enjoyable but the flavors seem artificial at points and that's a bit off putting. This is enjoyable but not a home run.

22oz bottle, fresh release, just came in today. Served at around 45F.
Pours clear amber with a nice three finger off-white/light beige head that leaves nice rings of drippy lacing and holds a small cap.
Aroma is big on hops with citrus, some tropical fruit, pineapple, a bit of apricot, a bit dank, along with some caramel and bready malt underneath. Very good strength.
Flavor is resinous hops, citrus, fruity hops, apricot, fairly prominent sweet malt backbone featuring some caramel and candy, good bitterness on the finish, a bit of alcohol.
Mouthfeel is medium/full bodied, a bit oily and sticky, good carbonation.
Yet another tasty Dank Tank creating. An Imperial 420? Yup. Nailed it. Big and hoppy but with a malt backbone to back it up. Incredibly drinkable too...this could get dangerous...

A: Nice little story about going to the Widespread Panic show on the bottle. A clear gold color with a thick off-white head that leaves sticky webs of lace on the glass.
S: Very nice citrus aroma. There are also grassy hop and a fruity peach aromas.
T: I've always been a fan of 420, but wished it had more hop. Well, this is it. A very nice sweet malt flavor mixed with grassy and citrus hops. The hop oil coats the mouth and leaves a nice lingering flavor with a bitterness that is balanced by the sweet malts.
M: Medium-heavy body with good carbonation. Oily hop feel in the finish.
O: Always like the Dank Tank series. They never seem to disappoint and this is another quality beer from Sweetwater.

I managed to procure a bottle or two of this quick moving installment in the Dank Tank series, and have not seen it much since. It happens to sound like a cross between two of the breweries most popular beers, and I like the IPA a lot. I am sharing this bomber with my girlfriend.
Poured from a 22 oz. bomber to two SweetWater 15 Years snifters. Served at 42º Fahrenheit.
(Appearance) Pours a creamy white frothy head with average retention on a deep orange-red body loaded with carbonation. Appearance is pleasing. 4
(Smell) Aroma consists of a resiny citrus hop aroma on a mild malt base. The resiny aromatics are really prevalent and hit the nose the most, followed by some faded grapefruit and tangerine, indicative of mostly tart citrus notes. Hop aroma is striking and a bit sharp, followed by a mild boozy aroma. There isn't much of a malt aroma presence to back it up, so the balance is a bit wacky and the citrus hops certainly take the front. Theres a ton of hop presence but its not a pleasing aroma and some may find it offensive in its tart characteristics. Other milder hop characteristics are grassy and piney variants, but not nearly as prevalent. Potency is medium. 3
(Taste) Tastes are interesting. Hop presence is much milder in the taste than the nose would suggest. There's a significant "soapy" film-like character and taste to the hop presence and malt character in this beer. Overall its rather plain in its delivery with little standing out aside from the small but interesting flavors that peek in from time to time; a piney and tangerine candy comes through late in the finish, but overall the resiny flavors are most dominant. Sweetness is higher than average primarily due to a heavier body, blending the line between APAs and IPAs. Really mild flavor but it may suit you fine if that's your thing. Overall it was underwhelming in flavor for me. 3
(Mouthfeel) Really slick, filmy with little carbonation presence aside from some subtle and mild froth, hardly enough to excite the tongue. Some crispness to the beer would benefit the texture and compliment the flavors tremendously. Body is light-medium, alcohol presence is low. Very underwhelming compliment to the mild flavors. 3
(Overall) Really more promising by appearance and smell than it turns out to be. The flavors are subtle but decent if you are in for a mild-tasting American IPA. I would recommend this for people who are looking for the line between the 420 and the IPA, as I think it does this pretty well. I have to give it at least an average score because it is good for what it is but it's not particularly for me, and I would likely not get this again upon it not being anything particularly special or interesting. 3

Thanks, Bendurgin, for sharing! Poured into a tulip. The color is dark gold. There is a light colored fluffy head with large bubbles.
The aroma is a blend of sweet malt and orange zest, with a hint of pine in there.
The taste is a little bit on the sweeter side, but delivers lots of zesty hop flavor in the finish. The sweetness kind of gives it some honeydew flavor as well as some caramel.
This is medium to full bodied, with soft carbonation.
Not bad but not great. This delivers great hop flavor, but I prefer a drier DIPA. Still, some might prefer this style.

3.7/5 rDev -1.3%
22-ounce brown glass bottle poured into a tulip glass. Served at a beginning temperature of approximately 40 degrees F.
Pours a deep golden copper hue and wonderfully clear. The fat, frothy topping of off-white foam falls away to a lingering crown, leaving behind thick rings of lacy cling on the walls of the glass.
The nose reveals a bouquet rife with juicy tropical and citrus notes -- tangerine, apricot, mango, papaya. Juicy citrus mingles alongside notes of candied fruit, somewhat sweet, vivid and enticing.
On the palate, things largely mimic the nose, with sweet, juicy citrus and tropical fruit combining up front with a big, honey-like malt sweetness that intermingle to give an impression of, again, candied fruit. A clean, citrus rind-like bitterness shows itself in the rear of the mid-palate, balancing out what would otherwise be a cloying, sweet fruit disaster. The honeyish malt notes combine with the bitterness all the way into the finish, with a lingering impression of orange blossom honey-infused grapefruit, which sounds odd but is rather pleasant and beckons another quaff.
Mouthfeel is somewhat slick, with a rather mild carbonation that leads to a rather heavy body.
Overall, a very pleasant entry into the Dank Tank series, but somewhat disappointing when expecting more of a mix of 420 Extra Pale Ale and the brewery's magnificent IPA. A bit of a disappointment after the previous magnificently hoppy beauty in the series, Fresh Sticky Nugs, but still a solid beer nonetheless that leaves lots of hope for the next immediate one-off -- the brewery's 15th Anniversary release.

A 22oz bomber picked up today from Tower. Last case, glad I found it!
A - A clear copper, with 2 fingers of head and nice sticky lace all over the glass that will not recede. A little darker than 420, and a ton more head and sticky lace. Pretty gorgeous
S - Wow, citrus hop explosion hits the nose. Some fruits as well, maybe pineapple and tangerines
T - Big citrus hop notes, but with a huge malt backbone. It is essentially just as described, a hoppier 420.
M - Medium bodied, well carbonated.
O - Amazing beer. Sweetwater needs to put this one in the regular line up. Its that good. Its obviously the same recipe as 420, just hoppier and stronger. Love it!

Reviewing from notes- purchased and consumed the day it hit Nashville market back in Feb. Poured into globe...
A- Has a deep caramel color with a finger of cream head. Settles very quickly leaving a few bubbles. A little dark in color for style, but it's admissable...
S- A little soapy, but does have nice fruity, orange aromas. Malty toffee and bread have a big presence here, too big for an IPA. More nose hops please!
T/M- Well... It is ok, I think? I wasn't impressed, then John pointed out that this is just an "extra" 420- which I'm not a big fan of to begin with. Has a vegetative taste with some floral, citrus hops. Bitterness is underwhelming, kinda like their IPA, but even less so. Sweet caramel and toffee have big roles on the palate. Full body for an IPA, thats for sure. Slick feel with carbonation that breaks up the body a tiny bit.
O- I mean, its slightly below average, but I'm just bleh about it. Didn't really tickle my willy. Even if it was still fresh, the price would keep me from purchasing again. Prefer this to be drier and it might come off with more hop assertiveness and less sweetness.

The Buffalo Bills have signed their second free agent of the 2013 signing period. Unfortunately for most Bills fans, it's a depth signing and a player unlikely to contribute much this season. Running back Tashard Choice has inked a new contract to come back to Buffalo according to his Twitter page.
I want to say thanks to the Bills organization and to all my fans I'm heading back to buffalo. twitter.com/tchoice23/stat…— Tashard Choice (@tchoice23) March 29, 2013
Choice included a shirtless photo of himself wearing a Buffalo Bills hat. An earlier tweet said he had "learned who he would play for this year". His agency quickly confirmed - via Twitter, of course - that Choice would be in Buffalo in 2013.
Choice played 17 games for the Bills since being acquired off waivers following an injury to Fred Jackson in 2011. He rushed for 263 yards and two touchdowns as Buffalo's third running back behind Jackson and C.J. Spiller. He also added 11 receptions for 55 yards. He played for Chan Gailey at Georgia Tech and it was presumed he was on the roster solely due to that connection but he rejoins the Bills without the former coach at the helm.

Just for thought:
A kickstarter company is bring this product to market this fall:
Its a motorized mount for an iphone, controlled by the iphone. It has pan and tilt for the phone, much like a Gigapan, but nice and small.
They claim it will be good for 'Real Estate Virtual Reality Tours', but the way the camera is mounted, the lens does not rotate through its entrance pupil, I do not see how they will not have lots of stitching errors on close up scenes.
They will have a software SDK for developers to create there own apps for the device, but it is not out yet.
Conceivably, one could an an accessory telephoto lens to the camera to create higher resolution panoramas http://www.macnn.com/reviews/iphone-telephoto-l…
Admittedly, the iPhone camera is nothing as nice as a good SLR, but it bright light, its not terrible, and this would make for a much lighter package to carry around than my Epic Pro and DSLR and 300mm lens…

Here's a question that maybe no one has asked yet ... Which is the more unlikely postseason team? The Tampa Bay Rays, or the Arizona Diamondbacks?
The answer, of course, depends entirely upon where you start the clock.
If you start the clock in early September, when the Rays were hopelessly out of the contention and the Diamondbacks were semi-comfortably ahead of the Giants, then the answer is obviously the Rays.
If you start the clock in early April, though? Leaving aside the Rays' 0-6 start, they were generally expected to be competitive this season, and given just a few breaks might even find themselves in the hunt for the Wild Card down the stretch. Which is, after more twists and turns than an Escher poster, exactly what happened.
Meanwhile, the Diamondbacks were the consensus choice for last place in the National League West. Arizona lost 97 games in 2010, and didn't exactly shake things up over the winter. Fiery Kirk Gibson was in the dugout this spring, but he'd been in the dugout in the second half of last season, with little apparent effect.
Then, 2011.
In 2010, the Diamondbacks -- who play their home games in a hitter-friendly ballpark -- finished eighth in the National League in scoring; in 2011, they finished second in the league.
In 2010, the Diamonbacks' starting pitchers finished 13th in the league in ERA; in 2011, they finished ninth.
In 2010, the Diamondbacks' relief pitchers finished 15th in the league in ERA; in 2011, they finished 10th.
But simple rankings can deceive, and those relief rankings really just hint at the improvement. Arizona's relief corps racked up a 5.74 ERA in 2010; the 14th-ranked Cubs were more than a full run better, at 4.72. Though the D'backs' relief ERA this season is just five spots better than last, their 3.71 ERA is more than two full runs better than last year's.
The Diamondbacks' bullpen has been solid this season, on par with their hitting and baserunning ...
Their defense has been better, too. Not a lot better. But better. Basically, what's happened this season is simple: the Diamondbacks improved everywhere, across the board. They don't do anything brilliantly, but they do everything well.
Well, almost everything. Ian Kennedy and Daniel Hudson have garnered some acclaim, and deservedly so. But the Diamondbacks' starting pitchers, as a group, have not been particularly good. Relative to everyone else on the team, anyway. Once you get past Kennedy and Hudson, the D'backs have relied on Joe Saunders, rookie Josh Collmenter, and a variety of fill-ins for the rotation's No. 5 slot.
Of course, in October the No. 5 starters are irrelevant, which only makes the Diamondbacks look better.
Meanwhile, the Brewers look even more well-rounded than the Diamondbacks.
The Brewers do hit more home runs than the Diamondbacks, and steal many fewer bases. But if the Brewers have one obvious advantage, it's that while the D'backs have two excellent starting pitchers, the Brewers have three: Yovani Gallardo, Shaun Marcum and Zack Greinke. Oh, and their No. 4 (Randy Wolf) is pretty good, too. Being the home team might be a good thing, too; this season the Brewers went 57-24 at Miller Park, and no other team in the major leagues won more than 52 at home.
Game 1 seems pretty important, to me at least. If the Brewers' big boppers can bloody Ian Kennedy's nose, the Brewers will have a huge edge the rest of the way. If the Diamondbacks can bloody Yovani Gallardo's, the series is up for grabs and the Cinderellas can put off midnight for at least a while longer.

By SEANNA ADCOXAssociated Press
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - Officials hope an agreement between state Treasurer Curtis Loftis and the board that invests South Carolina's pension money brings an end to the public rancor between them.
The agreement lets Loftis' staff review confidential information on investment deals - access he's demanded for more than a year.
As treasurer, Loftis sits on the Retirement System Investment Commission. He's had full access to documents, as did other commissioners and the commission's staff. But he wanted his office's legal and financial professionals to review the documents.
Previous attempts to resolve the issue failed. The mistrust led to an unprecedented lawsuit at the state Supreme Court.
Loftis told The Associated Press the agreement he signed last week resolves most of the dispute and should make the situation easier for everyone involved.

Archive for the 'DJ Alarm' tag
This one hurts to give away, but it's for the greater good. Lunice, a certified LxNxM favorite, and one of the cadre of internet homies, is a well-recognized dancefloor wrecker from the very very now. If you were to turn the dial back about 16 years now (hot spit), you'd find LA lads Tha Alkaholiks doing similar dancefloor damage via their 1995 release "Daam". Nice.
And now, thanks to a simple but highly effective blend by DJ Alarm, you can have Lunice and Tha Liks all in one place. Alarm took the instrumental beast that is Lunice's "Freaky" and threw the "Daam" vocals over the top, bringing out the best of both.
It seriously does hurt not to just keep this one close to the chest for the next dj gig, but who would we be to deprive you of something so good?

PV module of the highest quality
Schüco MPE modules in the MS 05 series are distinguished by monocrystalline solar cells with high cell efficiencies for the highest possible outputs. The all new MS 05 module series with an optimized size even for small residential roofs fits perfectly on dark shingles or tile roofs while enabling highest system performance. With a 5 year product warranty and an effective module output tolerance of −0 % / +5 % reliablity and quality has a new name.
A performance warranty
Schüco MPE modules have a 5-year extended parts and labor warranty. In fact, the warranty on output values is considerably longer – after 12 years of operation, the Schüco module is warranted to deliver a minimum of 90 % of its rated output and even after 25 years the output is warranted to be at least 80 %.
Optimized labeling
Prior to delivery, each MPE module is subject to a visual and electrical quality test. The output data measured is indicated on the back of the module and on the packaging. Homogeneous module fields can be grouped together quickly and effectively during installation.
High level of operational reliability
Two connecting boxes with a total of three bypass diode bridges on the back of the module prevent individual solar cells from overheating (hot-spot effect). This ensures the reliable operation of the whole system from module fields to inverters.
Environmental protection
The use of lead-free solder in the manufacture of MPE modules results in a saving of 1.8 oz of lead per module, which makes a considerable contribution to environmental protection.
Attractive and robust
The black module frame made from torsion-proof, anodized aluminum meets the highest standards in terms of stability and corrosion resistance. A cross bar in the frame on the back increases the load-bearing capacity of the module. MPE MS05 modules can be installed with installation components from the Schüco SolarEZ mounting systems.

"We spent approximately $20-billion of that money on pork barrel, earmark projects. Maybe if we had done it right, maybe some of that money would have gone to inspect those bridges and other bridges across the country."
John McCain on Saturday, August 4th, 2007 in a comment to a reporter.
Right on bridge repairs
McCain is right. Bridge repair and bridge construction are authorized in the same bill. But of course, members of Congress would prefer to cut ribbons on new projects rather than see money go to less sexy repair projects.
House Transportation and Infrastructure Chairman James Oberstar, D-Minn., recently unveiled a new plan to invest $65-billion immediately in replacing or repairing bridges. Rather than redirecting money in the highway bill, Oberstar has proposed establishing a dedicated fund for bridge repair. But raising that $65-billion within the federal budget would be a huge problem.

1:30pm (EST)
Shares of Herbalife (HLF, $76.14, up $1.31) jumped nearly 10% on Monday after getting a clean audit of its books. The company has been under major scrutiny all year long as a major hedge fund manager has accused them of being a pyramid scheme with faulty accounting issues.
The stock was halted in the final 45 minutes of trading just north of $70 and zoomed to a high of $77.29 when it reopened roughly 15 minutes later. Today, shares have reached a high of $78.50 but have pulled back on news that vitamins may not be all that good for you after all.
The Herbalife December 75 calls (HLF131221C00075000, $2.15, down $0.10) opened Monday at $1.42 and traded down to $1.09 before exploding to a high of $7.54 yesterday. Today, they have traded up to $4.35.
There could be a run to the mid-$80′s based on momentum and short covering but the vitamin debate has put a lid on today's ceiling. We did some research on Herbalife last night and with no debt, we figured they might announce a massive stock buyback program while rates are low now that they have a clean bill of health. This would increase earnings and lower the float that could crush the short-sellers as over 30% of the float is sold short.
It will be an interesting story to watch between now and yearend.
As far as the market, trading has been choppy as Wall Street prepares for the next 24 hours of Fed news. We have been super busy today and we have a ton of updates on our current trades. We are in the process of winding down our remaining trades from October and November and we are building a few positions into January. Although we did take a new trade earlier this morning, we still want to be cautious as we wait for more definitive signs of the next trend.
We should get more clues this week as volatility explodes and then, possibly, settles back down.
As we head into the second of trading, the Dow is down 23 points to 15,860 while the S&P 500 is lower by 6 points to 1,780. The Nasdaq is declining 3 points to 4,027 and the Russell 2000 is off 5 points to 1,115 and has traded in the red all session long. The S&P Volatility Index ($VIX, 16.17, up 0.14) is up slightly and has kissed 16.67.

Choosing AKC Registered Name
This can be fun for the whole family.
I usually choose a call name first and work off that for a catchy name. Sometimes its the other way around.
Here are a few examples:
Clyde (as in Bonny and Clyde) Snowco's Take The Money And Run
Snowco's When Thunder Rolls (Stormy)
It is not necessary to have the call name and AKC name cooincide.
Sometimes you can combine the sire and dam names to come up with one for your pup.
I have one pup person who wanted to use the names of her 2 last Labs; Cody and Duffy; CoDuffy's Legacy Of Snowco.
The AKC allows 36 characters which includes hyphens, spaces, etc. You can go as high as 50 but there is an additional charge. They also have a limit as to how many times a name can be used.

Ok, someone @ Apple made a bad decision (probably with TC's approval). So what. iphone5 still sells more than 4s in the first weekend. people still upgrading to iOS6. There was no effect as having a bad map app. Yes, people whine about it. But that doesn't affect anything. Come on, people will buy any phone Apple puts out regardless of what's on there. This proves the case.
I agree with most of what you say. Apple did certainly screw up the quality of the 1.0 iOS 6 maps release.
I am not so sure, though, that Apple made a bad decision... given the alternatives! The implementation and the decision are two different things.

Wendell G. Wright sound recordings, scores, and other material
Collection, dated 1957–1997 (bulk 1977–1994), consisting chiefly of audio and video recordings of the Lois J. Wright Memorial Concert Series, as well as papers, concert programs and correspondence relating to the series. There is also a collection of scores, including several compositions and arrangements by Gerald Burks Wilson.
18 boxes
Donated by Dorothy Wright, August 2000.
Wendell G. Wright, born on August 18, 1921, was an East Baltimore native who attended Douglass High School. He wanted to attend the Peabody Conservatory after graduation but was denied admission because he was an African American. Instead, he took private singing lessons in Baltimore and sang with choirs along the East Coast. He became the first African American to join Baltimore's Handel Choir and performed at the White House at one of President Richard M. Nixon's prayer breakfasts.
Wright devoted his life and resources to helping young singers and musicians. In the spring of 1977, he started the Young Artists Series at St. Katherine's Episcopal Church, which soon evolved into the Lois J. Wright Memorial Concert Series, named for Wright's first wife, who passed away that year. The Concert Series encouraged and supported performances by minority classical musicians. Wright's efforts also resulted in the creation of the Community Outreach Committee at the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, where he was appointed chairman of the Inclusion Committee, which brought more African Americans into the orchestra. Additionally, he created "Live, Gifted and Black," an annual concert where African-American artists performed the work of African-American composers with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. Wright died on May 24, 2000, at the age of 78. His second wife, Dorothy, whom he married in 1978, donated the collection after his death.
The Wendell G. Wright Collection consists primarily of materials relating to the Lois J. Wright Memorial Concert Series and includes nearly 300 reel-to-reel audio tapes of musical performances, most of which are recordings of Concert Series performances, along with recordings of related musical performances. Papers relating to the Concert Series, which include concert programs and correspondence, have been arranged chronologically by concert season. Although the series appears to have continued from 1977 until at least 1997, the collection contains no papers relating to the years 1980 through 1984. Audio and video recordings of the Concert Series beyond the 1993–1994 concert season are lacking.
The Wendell G. Wright Collection also includes several published musical scores by black composers, and these consist largely of spiritual arrangements. An interesting component of the collection is a group of twenty scores (both manuscripts and copies of manuscripts) by the African-American composer Gerald Burks Wilson. A few fragments and unidentified pieces by Wilson are also included. There are other materials relating to Wilson, including copyright registration certificates for his compositions, in the series.

Police believe the same man may have killed two Kansas City prostitutes. Now family of one of the victims is talking about their loss.
"She was a good sister, she was a good friend and, you know, me and her would talk about, you know, stuff that I wouldn't talk about with anybody else," Nicholas Reed said.
The body of Tamara Sparks, 40, was found Oct. 4, 2011, near 120th Street and North Eastern Road in Kansas City. Aug. 21, 2012, Nicoleone Reed's body was found at 134th Street and Scott Avenue in Kearney, MO. Both women were known prostitutes who worked along Independence Avenue.
The following details might be too graphic for some: Police said both bodies were "posed" in a similar way - with shirts pushed up and pants pulled down. Police aren't releasing how either woman died.
Nicoleone Reed's brother spoke with KCTV about his sister and the loss his family is going through.
Even though Nicoleone Reed was known to earn her living working on Independence Avenue as a prostitute, her brother said he has hope she will get the justice she deserves.
"She was a kind gentle person. She wasn't just the prostitute or drug addict that everybody is hearing about now," Nicholas Reed said.
It's been a very difficult year for Nicholas Reed who got the news of his sister's death while he was away at basic training. He and his sister had a special relationship. They were just a year apart and developed a strong bond as they bounced from one foster home to the next.
Nicholas Reed said he did his best to keep his sister off the streets, but said her struggle with mental illness and addiction had too strong a hold over her.
"One, you are battling the drugs. Two, you are battling her own personality, and you are battling her addiction at the same time. There's three different things you're doing at the same time to control one person," he said.
But Friday's announcement by police gave Nicholas Reed a renewed sense of hope that his sister's killer won't remain free much longer. He's pleading with the public to keep an eye out for a white pickup truck. The passenger side door was a different color, possibly blue or green. Police offered a wide range of dates for when the American model truck was built, possibly from the 1970s to the 1990s.
Nicholas Reed and police also are asking for people to call in if a shoe, which was found near Sparks' body looks familiar. The shoe is a size 11 khaki-colored, canvas-style Crocs. Its style is unusual and is similar to a moccasin. The shoe was well-worn.
All Nicholas Reed said he wants is justice for his sister.
"I just hope and pray that anyone out there watching will find it in their heart that if they see something call. It can be the smallest thing, the smallest detail the smallest lead will break the case wide open," he said.
Nicoleone Reed leaves behind a 2-year-old daughter, a girl that her family said will grow up never having known her mother.
Police say a third woman was attacked, but survived. They're still trying to figure out if her case is connected.
If you have any information, they've set up a special hotline: 816-288-0087 or you can call the TIPS Hotline at 816-474-TIPS (8477).

Welcome to a Transformed and Transforming Church!
In our 170 year history Grove Reformed Church have started a couple of churches, sent off a dozens of missionaries around the world, ran an orphanage, had our church building burn down before our eyes and built a new one in its place. We have scholarshipped hundreds of children to summer camp and dozens of students to college. By God's grace we have an amazing legacy here at Grove Church but believe that God is not done with us yet.
As our neighborhood has changed we are responding to God's call to be transforming into the church that can show God's love in word and deed. God is transforming the old timers who grew up in Hudson County as well as our new and diverse neighbors into the family of God. We are trying new ways to reach out to individuals families in our neighborhood helping them experience God's Kingdom in meaningful ways.
We welcome you to check out some snapshots of the transformation on our website and visit on a Sunday morning. While this can't show you our whole story we hope that you can find yourself in it.
Thank you for visiting!
Pastor Steven Germoso
The fall season begins on October 22nd and meets on Wednesdays!

I've been saying for quite a while that Microsoft desperately needs a new image. Well, its Singapore branch apparently grew tired of waiting for Redmond to conjure up something suitably corporate and banal. Instead, it worked up one of its own -- specifically for its newly available browser.
Meet the new face of Internet Explorer 11, Inori Aizawa.
[ For a humorous take on the tech industry's shenanigans, subscribe to Robert X. Cringely's Notes from the Underground newsletter and follow Cringely on Twitter. | Check out InfoWorld TechBrief, your source for quick, smart views on the news you'll be talking about -- subscribe today. ]
Inori is an 18-year-old female dressed in the requisite Japanese schoolgirl outfit. But put a magic Internet Explorer 11 shield in her hands and she possesses enough superpowers to destroy an army of evil robots. If you don't believe me, check out the video.
That video, created for the Asian Anime Festival and posted two days ago, has garnered nearly 1.4 million views on YouTube as I am writing this, and legions of fans are clamoring for more. It seems Microsoft has a hit on its hands -- at least, among creepy guys who carry photos of Sailor Moon in their wallets.
Mission statement
Like any plugged-in teenage girl, Inori has a Facebook page. Two days ago she served up the following entry:
Hey everyone! My name is Inori and you can think of me as a personification of Internet Explorer.
When I was younger, I used to be a clumsy, slow and awkward girl.
However, just like the story of ugly duckling, people told me that I have really matured and changed over the years. I feel confident in my abilities now, and I'm eager to show you what I can do.

My last post was a quick review of the spa at Travaasa - which was a wonderful pre-vacation experience! It was only a few days later that I boarded a plane to Edinburgh, Scotland - my husband's hometown, to enjoy a few weeks of long-anticipated vacation.
After all of my hard work focusing on fitness and having lost more than 30 pounds, I was determined not to let the trip impede my progress too much. I had my 5K training app loaded on my iPhone, packed my tennis shoes and workout gear, and was resolved to stick with my healthy living regimen so that I'd enjoy the holiday even more and not regret a thing when I returned.
It is so beautiful there - cool and green, unlike Texas in the summertime. I loved walking and jogging out of doors more than ever. I found myself wanting to do it more and more just to be in the cool climate and beautiful scenery. I was encouraged and kept up my daily 5K training almost every day.
I will admit though that I quickly realized how challenging it is for me to resist certain foods -especially under a vacation scenario! Scotland is not only the land of the best salmon on the planet, it's also the home of Angus beef and full cream dairy products like like you just don't find in Austin. When you look at the typical dietary pattern it is not unlike the Standard American Diet - a lot of fried, a lot of dairy, a lot of pastry, not a lot of green. No wonder, like many of our health issues here at home, Scotland is a world leader in heart disease. Take a look of this shot of the deli case at a local supermarket:
Anyway, I frequently told myself "I'm on my holidays" - so in addition to those few extra glasses of wine every once in a while, I also allowed myself to stray from my diet regimen too far. I thought that the additional activity walking/jogging every day would be all I needed to maintain my weight and I was comfortable with that. Until...
One day climbing Arthur's seat - an 823 foot natural wonder right in the heart of Edinburgh - I tweaked my ankle pretty badly. The next few days it was difficult to walk on - I was worried about aggravating the injury so I stopped my 5K training. This was close to the end of the trip and to be honest with you I just never really got it back together. The hustle and bustle of souvenir shopping and packing and goodbye-saying just superseded anything else.
Then upon our return I got busy - big surprise - back to school with the kids, new programs ramping up at work, and oh yeah, my ankle was doing just fine at this stage but boy did I have plenty of other excuses for not resuming my training. And it's soooo very challenging to get back on a diet under those circumstances, isn't it? Never has this study about how it takes an hour a day of exercise just to maintain your weight if you're a woman over 40 hit home as hard as it does now.
But the new Leadership Austin Essential class was ramping up along with our "Healthy Living for Leaders" initiative getting ready to start again. I knew I had to walk my talk yet again so after far too long of a hiatus I went back to see my trainer and guide Brian Johnson of CorpFit USA who did the math for me. And the cold hard facts spoke volumes.
The damage assessment was pretty darn clear - 10 pounds up almost to the ounce. But I know I'm not supposed to be worried too much about weight ... it's body fat percentage that matters more. The good news is thanks to my activity level I maintained my lean muscle mass. But the flip side is obvious ... the gain is 10 pounds of pure F.A.T.
So, I am rebooting and today is day one! I'm going back to my original strategy more than a year ago ... getting myself back into the habit of daily exercise by committing to 30 consecutive days of cardio. This time I posted on Facebook in advance and have several friends joining in, which is great. We'll all support and hold each other accountable along the way.
The resources are all lined up and my commitment is renewed. I will be post on Facebook daily to keep my own self accountable-as well as use my fitbit and fitbook to track progress. I feel ready to get back to where I was and better. I'll post here weekly with updates. Wish me luck!

INDIANAPOLIS — INDIANAPOLIS - Danville's own Connie Lawson is now serving the residents of the entire State of Indiana as Secretary of State. She got her first taste of service to the community right here in our county seat.
"I served as the county clerk for Hendricks County from 1989 to 1996," Lawson said. "At the time, I was working with my husband, Jack. We had our own business — Lawson Brothers. That was before we were Lawson and Company."
Lawson and her husband recently celebrated their 45th wedding anniversary.
"We were a good team but as a person, I wanted to branch out," she said. "At the time, the clerk's race was open and there was no incumbent. I was encouraged to run. I was asked, 'You can do this, so why not run?' So I did and won. That was my first attempt at public service."
She served in that office for eight years. Lawson then ran for the Indiana Senate.
"I was then elected in '96 and started in the Indiana Senate in '97,"
she said. "I loved serving in the Senate."
Last year, she was appointed Secretary of State when Charlie White was forced to leave the office.
She said serving in the administrative branch of state government is very different.
"The most obvious difference is that you can make decisions on your own," she said. "Even though I was the majority leader, we still had to have other people help us make decisions."
Since she has taken office, Lawson has visited all 92 Indiana counties to learn more about their needs.
"Last year, I traveled 14,000 miles across the state," she said. "I've been to counties that I had never been to before."
She said she met many county clerks and other community leaders along the way.
"I got to learn their stories and their needs," she said. "It was a great experience that I was grateful to have."

What kind of mounting mechanisms work best?
According to both manufacturers, the vast majority of saltwater anglers like to remove their trolling motors more frequently than their freshwater counterparts. That may be due to the fact that saltwater anglers target many different species in widely varied habitats. That may also result from security issues.
MotorGuide makes a removable mounting plate that allows anglers to take the motor off the boat in about 20 seconds. Minn Kota, too, offers a quick-release system.
Those who work as saltwater fishing guides or fish frequently in tournaments demand mounts that make deployment and retrieval of the motor simple and effortless - since they may be required to change locations repeatedly throughout the day.
Both companies say their mounts allow for single-handed stowing and deployment. And in fact, Minn Kota's lift-assist technology uses a gas-charged spring to reduce lifting weight by 50 percent.
Minn Kota has also just announced the debut of its new Riptide SF, which will be available this fall. The company took its most popular Riptide Pro model - a hand-control bow-mount motor - and redesigned its arm, the portion of the motor between the shaft and the mount on which the unit rides as it deploys and stows.
Instead of using what's called a four-bar linkage, which features four hinge points susceptible to noisy twisting and wear, the engineers created a single- or mono-arm design. The unit also employs a new technology that applies tension on the motor in both stowed and deployed positions, reducing noise, steering torque and motor play, especially on higher-thrust models.
What does the term "amp draw" mean?
Trolling motors draw varying amperage at different speeds. Anglers can calculate their running time at full power by using the motor's amp draw (at full speed) and the battery's amp-hour rating.
A single 120-amp-hour, 12-volt battery and a 12-volt trolling motor drawing 30 amps at the highest speed setting will run for about 3.4 hours, according to Minn Kota figures.
The formula goes like this: 0.85 x (battery amp-hour rating) = (hours of operation) x (motor amp draw).
That same motor may draw only 5 amps at the slowest speed, where it may run for more than 20 hours.
Aren't trolling motors susceptible to corrosion?
Galvanic corrosion occurs when two dissimilar metals come into electrical contact through salt water, and that's what manufacturers have to fight. Consequently, they usually use less metal, and what metal they use - stainless steel, aluminum and zinc - is properly balanced for electrical potential.
MotorGuide uses a process called aluma-coating that isolates dissimilar metals, Hodges says. It also employs zinc anodes to draw corrosion away from the other metals.
To protect its wireless electronic board and microprocessor, MotorGuide pours potting compound into the housing to protect the components. The control box resides in the mount and the digital module is located in the lower unit. Nothing electronic is housed in the head of the motor.
Minn Kota cleans all metal in a multistep process before the parts are anodized with zinc dichromate armor plating. They're then coated with an epoxy primer and finished with a 5 mm thickness of polyester powder-coat paint. The company also fully encapsulates its control boards in marine-grade urethane and uses heat-shrink tubing to coat connections.
Minn Kota also employs a sacrificial anode, which is placed on the hub of the prop.
Perhaps the most difficult aspect of protecting a saltwater trolling motor from corrosion, however, comes in keeping the DC motor safe, Brown says. To work properly, the DC motor's rotor and magnets must be housed in a ferrous-metal enclosure, meaning it must contain iron. The DC motor rests in the center section of the lower unit. "Getting the coating process right is absolutely essential," he says.
What's the best way to maintain a trolling motor?
"Rinse, rinse and rinse some more," Brown says. "I even suggest dunking the SP and ST [Riptide models] in a bucket of fresh water after use to remove sand and debris."
Anti-corrosion spray can also help protect the motor, as will touching up any paint nicks in the lower unit with outboard paint. "Remove the prop every few months to ensure there's no fishing line under it that can eat through the motor seal," he says. "Lightly file out any nicks on the leading edge of the prop to reduce noise and cavitation."
Clean the entire motor with fresh water after each use, Hodges reiterates. But follow the same practice you use when rinsing fishing tackle: Avoid spraying with excessive water pressure. "And use good electrical grease on any electrical connections."

Ferguson: 'A win can lift the whole city' (From The Wiltshire Gazette and Herald)

Ferguson: 'A win can lift the whole city'
5:30am Monday 17th February 2014 in Sport
Peterborough United manager Darren Ferguson insists victory tonight would give the entire city a lift.
The League One play-off rivals are battling for a place in the competition final which will be staged at Wembley on Sunday, March 30.
The first leg at London Road earlier this month finished 2-2 so it's a 90-minute shoot-out at the County Ground with the possibility of a penalty shoot-out to follow.
Ferguson, who won this competition as a player with Wrexham when the final was staged at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, is excited about leading a side out at Wembley as a manager for the first time.
"Getting to Wembley would capture the imagination of the whole city," Ferguson claimed.
"I've won the competition with Wrexham and I know what it can mean to a club and to a place.
"Winning could also be a catalyst for a good run in the league. It would be a huge boost to know that we already have a final at Wembley to look forward to.
"We have a tough game at Swindon to negotiate first though. They are expecting a crowd of 10,000 so the atmosphere should be good, but the aim is to win the match in 90 minutes.
"All three matches we have had with Swindon this season have been really tight. Probably the most dominant we've been against them was in the league defeat at their place, but no two games are the same."
Posh threw away a two-goal lead in the first leg. They were leading 2-1 when Swindon were reduced to 10 men with the dismissal of Jay McEveley.
Kyle Vassell scored his first Posh goal in that game and he's expected to partner top scorer Britt Assombalonga up front again tomorrow.
Strikers Nicky Ajose and Conor Washington are both cup-tied as are defenders Ben Nugent and Jack Baldwin.
New loan signing Josh McQuoid can play and is another attacking option for Ferguson.
"Kyle did very, very well in the first leg," Ferguson added. "He was a handful all night as well as scoring his first goal for the club.
"It's not ideal having so many players cup-tied, but the fact that Josh is available is a boost."

The staff were not as friendly an approachable as on the NCL cruise we did in January but were helpful enough.
The food was very good, plenty of selection. The dinner is a sumptuous 7 course meal which lasts about 2 hours....those with little ones remember to take a couple of things to keep them going....children were given a colouring sheet that listed their choices of food (although they could of course have the same as you) but they did not have any crayons or pencils?!
We enjoyed the entertainment but if you are on the early sitting for dinner you have to wait until 9.45 for your show to start, but as it was only about 1/2 hour long it was okay.
The ship is very well maintained, there are a horde of staff constantly keeping it clean. The decor is very glitzy with plenty of attention to detail.
We were upgraded to an outside cabin which was wonderful, much more spacious than an inside and so nice to have the wonderful views. The only quibble with our cabin is that we were right next to the stock and ice room for the stewards, who unlike NCL start work very early (sometimes 5.30 am) and we would be woken up by them as they chatted and loaded their trolleys. We did complain to the manager and there was some improvement.....if you are able to request a room away from this stock rooms.
All in all, it was a very enjoyable cruise. We met some fabulous people and had a great time. I would book with them again but if a cruise came up on and NCL ship that was similar in price I would probably go on that instead!
