4.05/5 rDev -2.4%
Presentation: 22 oz bottle, poured in glass chalice
Appearance: Seems to glow! Shimmers of orange and yellow Thick lacing that hangs around for a good while. More than any Barleywine ive seen to-date.
Smell: Nothing out of ordinary as far as barleywines go. n
Taste: As with most of Stone's lineup, theres nothing mild here, but behind the strong taste, theres lots of subtle flavors. Is it wheat, burnt nut, clove or anise, caramel? Hard to put ones finger on all the flavors.
Mouthfeel: Satisfying! Makes you feel like your really drinking something with some substance. Alcohol tingle warms ya without the burn. Makes your mouth water more than a bit a few minutes later
Drinkabilty: Another good one from Stone. I could sip on this one all night. I'd like to put a bottle of this aside to see how it compares to next years...dont think i could resist opening em though.

Looks like ambrosia with some head. Pretty fizzy at first for a barley wine. But the head runs away rather quickly in true barley wine fashion. Amber, copper, bronze, honey, cognac, brandy color with some very sparse bubbling. The aroma is like a bitter ambrosia. From the smell of this beer, it has awesome aging potential. With about a year or two in the cellar, the pronounced hop bitterness will subside. Letting the strong alcoholic honeydew, maple syrup, and brown sugar malts take hold of the nostrils. The taste give the young alcohol more definetion with lots of west coast hops to boot. This beer tastes like something that requires a little patience to enjoy its full potential. Lots of amber, fruity malts with some medium pine bitterness, a bit resiny. Good to sip for prolonged periods of time. I hope I can have this beer when its about a year old in the bottle. Let the bitterness mellow out a little.

Dug up and old review of this one while going through notes. Sampled in October 2006.
Clear red/amber, very amazing colour, thick off white head, great lacing, great retention, very sticky. Smell is sweet, caramel, pine/floral, grains, signature Stone aroma, tons of caramelization, has smoothed out a bit. Taste is sweet and toffee, grains, nice hoppy balance through the middle, pine and floral, sticky toffee finish, pleasing bitterness. Mouthfeel is full bodied with low carbonation, very chewy, definately a sipper, but a world class barleywine.

Early '06 release.
Poured into my Stone Old Guardian glass.
Quite a full cream colored head. Decent retention fades into long lasting pleasant lace.
Crystal clear dark amber color. No trace of cloudiness. No haze, no particles. Very clean.
Quite hoppy nose. Piney and alcoholic. Crisp apple peel aroma, bitter yet sweet. Not a huge nose.
Very hoppy on the tongue. My whole mouth is filled with the presence of hops. Tongue, roof, back of throat. Hops are everywhere. Maltyness comes through later but is definitely overpowered by the power of the hop cone. LOTS going on in this barleywine. Sweet, hoppy, bitter, malty. But in the end, the hops wins the battle.
Big, chewy mouthfeel. Had a tuna sammich on russian rye with this. Needed the food to "ease" the hoppy bite.

22oz. bomber into a goblet.
clear bright orange amber. a touch of tan head that leaves slight hints of lace.
caramel, raisins and toffee dominate the aroma, with some balancing citric and piney hops. slightly alcoholic, but not too bad given the 11%.
medium body with a slightly syrupy feel; some sweet caramel malts washed away by sharply piney hops and a boozy finish. mild but stinging carbonation takes some of the edge off of the sharp flavors. nicely balanced and very drinkable.

A- 1/4" light tan head. Clear amber body with bit of orange. Thin collar with lacing sticking to the side. Thin lacing covering the top.
S- Some citrus hops and alcohol. Has a nice malt balance in it also. Maybe a bit of bread too. Caramel malts and a light bit of toffee.
T- A nice big bitterness really cuts through right off the bat with alcohol following the path. The big malt follows the alcohol. Comes through as a nice caramel malt right off then kind of changes to a toffee malt as it sits there for a second or two. A light bread is still there like the 05 also. This one seems a bit stronger flavors (my guess is that extra year on the 05 helped it). Think this in a year though will be a bit weaker than the 05 today. They are very similar (same recipe just different breweries) but I think the 05 is a bit better. Better blended but still strong as this is very separate and strong but a bit weaker once the hops die down.
M- Medium body with medium carbonation and maybe a bit cloggy.
D- Like I said I think the 05 is a bit better but this is a very nice beer. Would like to see if it could hold its strength though once the hops have died down (IMO I don't think it will be able too).
This is my last review for the drinking a new year day after day (give or take a day or two). Overall the ones that stick out the most are the 2000 (by far) 02 and 05. I think the ones that arn't worth buying again (as of now) are 01 (I know 00 and 01 are same recipe but they do taste quite a bit different) and 06 (it is young). The 04 and 03 are good but nothing that will really make a big statement. Come Christmas eve I will be able to try the 99.

Bought this from a place I trust to keep beers well. Has probably been in the same refridgerator for about 6 months now, so it is ever so slightly aged.
Appearance: Pours a very similar color to Double Bastard - a dark, cider-like deep caramel mahogany. Head is barely existent, settling into a perma-lace around the circumference of my oversized wine glass. Lacing, like many of Stone's beers, is definitely there. A little spotty and transient, however, in this case.
Smell: Wow. Definitely a Barley Wine. My nose literally stings a little bit as I inhale - so, alcohol. Has that familiar "Stone" aroma up front as well - a sort of nutty funk probably a result of their one-of-a-kind yeast strain. Underneath the front end are sweet malts - a cashew-infused caramel, bread crust, caramel, sweetened chocolate, very, very piney and citrusey hops. Corn meal. Extremely strong, extremely complex. I could spend a few hours, probably, bringing out and isolating aromas from this thing, but it's just too daunting of a task.
|Taste: Nutty, bread, grapefruit peel, caramel, light pine, alcohol. Just slams your tongue into submission. Wow.
Mouthfeel: Hot, hot, hot. Extremely alcoholic. Moderately dry upon swallowing. A little light carbonation.
Drinkability: It's a barley wine. This is not meant for casual drinking, but a dedicated session. I am regretting, actually, having drank a Meantime India Pale Ale a few hours prior to this. It's a bit too much. But amazing, amazing stuff that you could pick apart for hours.

Big thanks to orrshow for sharing his bottle with me. This review is from notes.
The beer is a clear deep amber with a thick foamy tan head. The head recedes leaving plenty of lacing. Visible carbonation climbs up through the glass.
The smell has toffee and molasses with a dry vinuos backbone. There is an alcohol warmth to the smell.
The is a very sweet and malty beer. Molasses and cane sugar up front. Woody, vinuos finish. Overall impression is very malt heavy.
The mouthfeel is thick and sticky, and the carbonation is light. Just how you want this style to feel.
I really enjoyed this one, it went down very well, almost too well considering the ABV.

Appearance The color is a clear but dark reddish brown. The head is small but a nice beige color and it leaves lacing all over my glass. Something about the look of this one is almost sophisticated.
Smell Up front alcohol aromas are dominant. There is toffee, caramel, bread, wood, and a bit of citrus hop. I did not find the scents overly strong until it warmed though. Good here.
Taste It begins very sweet with brown sugar, toffee, and caramel flavors. Not surprisingly this is accompanied by alcohol. There is some citrus hop up front that leaves a slight bitterness. The finish is slightly woody with pine arising. Its a well balanced ale and very tasty.
Mouthfeel It has chewy feeling with a slightly oily texture. The carbonation is quite noticeable.
Drinkability Good. Its very strong but its smooth as hell.
Like this beer a lot. It was a great experience and I must thank my Father for bringing it to me from the states.

Clear coppery amber topped by a substantial yellowish/light brown head. Generous chunky lacing remained as the head slowly fell. Rich caramel aroma, combined with notes of bread, alcohol, vanilla, and earthy hops that have a slightly citric edge. Great flavour - sweet malts blend with caramel, spicy alcohol, soft vanilla, mild ripe fruit and balanced citrusy/resinous hops. Bitterness never overpowers, but is a formidable presence from beginning through to the lingering finish. Medium to full bodied, the carbonation falls just short of giving it a creamy texture, leaving the mouthfeel just a bit rough (appropriately, I think). Alcohol starts to stun the tongue after a few sips, but it's not overbearing, and the warmth in the finish is quite pleasant. I really like this one this year. The character is balanced nicely between refinement and roughness, like it hasn't quite been tamed. The alcohol is also kept a little more in check. I'll try it again in a few months to see how it's coming along.

Pours a beautiful apricot, very little head retention - all carbonation is is in suspension. Awesome. The brew appears gelatenous.
Smell is a delicate interpretation of malt kissing a fig.
Taste is a close encounter with the smell, but the hop is quite evident.
This is what you would characterize as a lip-smacking barley wine. Clean, refreshing, yet entertains a malt complexity.
Nicely done, because if I had a six pack, I wouldn't have anything left to cellar tomorrow.

Haven't cracked one of these open in several months. Pours a dark amber into a tulip glass leaving a full inch of frothy beige head. The smell is very nice - the lightest scent for rich floral hops. The taste is much more about the sweet malts than the hops, but this is a wonderfully mild barleywine. Mouthfeel is outstanding. Faintest tickle of carbonation makes it seem not so heavy. Drinkability is outrageously high considering the ABV involved here. I'm not even tasting the alcohol, and am seriously considering having another.
OK - That last thought was at about half the bottle. I've thought better of having 2 in a row. You may not taste the alcohol, but it is there and it will creep up on the unwary. Dman good stuff that seems to just get better with every bottle. Glad I stocked up this year.

Been sitting on this one since the beginning of the year. When I first popped the cap I could smell the sweet malts. Pours a nice orange golden amber color, nice creamy tan head, nice lacing/puddles throughout the drink. Scents of sweet malts, citrus, hops, spices, caramel, yeast, and slight alcohol. The taste is amazing, sweet malts, hoppy, slight caramel, and slight alcohol, nice dry finish. Medium body, pretty complex barleywine. Very drinkable, another awesome brew from Stone to say the least.

I received this as a birthday gift in April, and the bottle says "Limited Early 2006 Release," so this beer must be about 8-10 months old at this point. I'm not an expert on aging, and I'm even less of an expert on patience when it comes to beer, so I may be making a huge mistake by cracking my one and only bottle of this stuff so soon, but I've become Stone's bitch over the past few months and tonight the gargoyle wants to have his way with me again so I must submit.
The brew poured a flawless transparent mahogany with minimal head that quickly dissolved to a thin, tan lace.
The odor was notably potent, a mix of sweet red wine and caramel with a spicy quality (ok, I'm not doing this one justice, but my sense of smell and spices still needs a lot of work). Suffice to say, it was enticing.
The first sip was equally rewarding. A bit of the burn of alcohol, but at 11.2% ABV, I expected much worse. The flavor was so intense I could taste it just by inhaling through my mouth before the liquid ever touched my taste buds. Aside from the alcohol, it had a bit of red wine flavor and the sweetness of caramel, along with a strong piney, hoppy quality I've grown to love about Stone's brews.
Mouthfeel was pretty impressive for such a strong beer. Although the alcohol burned going down and the hops were intense upon contacting my palate, the finish was remarkably clean with very little lingering aftertaste.
I know this beer is going to kick my ass with so much alcohol, but I could easily see myself making short work of it. I just need to remind myself that I only have one bottle, I don't know if/when I'll see it again, and it's damn good. If I see it again, I'm buying a case.
All this coming from someone who previously disliked and even feared barley wines. Either I've come a long way, or Stone just reinforced why they've quickly become my favorite brewery.

On tap at the Hop Devil Grill
A-Very dark amber brown color....1/4 inch white head, and a light white lace that surrounds the glass.
S- Musky, dank and citrusy the hops are definitely big...there are light sweet malts with caramel, red fruits, and sugars present as well.
T-Big hops all throughout the beer...big hop pick up in the finish...nice citrusy hops, slightly muskiness....as this beer warms up the maltiness really comes out...with nice caramel, and a slight hint of cherry.
M-Moderate carbonation for the style, long finish both nice malts and hops that linger...the beer lightly coats the tongue...
D- I found myself wanting a little bit more than just the 12oz pour that I got on tap....I will definitely sit down with a bomber of this one when it gets colder...great example of the style.

2006 edition, cellared roughly eight months, poured from a 22oz. bomber into an Old Guardian specialty glass.
A: Dark, browned copper color with a thin sheen of creamy head, more of a yarmulke than a top hat, that clears quickly.
S: Citrus, caramel, slight alcohol, hint of pine. The hop-derived scents and malt-derived scents are well-balanced and complementary. As it warmed, the alcohol definitely began to dominate the aroma.
T: Surprising amount of bitterness at the start, pine breath and citric bite. The sweet, creamy, malty middle is just wonderful; very rich and satisfying, almost hedonistic. Alcohol, not to be forgotten, asserts itself at the end, but gently. More hops than I smelled or expected. A decent amount of bitterness runs through the whole thing, grabbing your attention, mitigating the excess of that delicious midsection, then fading away with the alcohol. As it warmed, I got a bit of grapefruit and some sandalwood during the malty middle.
M: Smooth, thick, but not as cloying as some barleywines out there; it neither coats my palate, nor my taste buds. That being said, it's not insanely remarkable in this department, just a bit better than average.
D: As barleywines go, this one is pretty darn drinkable. It doesn't try to be too complex, so it doesn't lose any flavor nuances to the presence of the alcohol. The flavors are really nice, and I'm farther through the bomber than I expected, already.

Deep copper/amber hue, very clear, with only a thin head. The malt aroma is very sweet and caramel-like, with the hops more in the background. A bit of alcohol fume in the nose also. The flavor is rich and alcoholic too. Lots of sugary caramel flavor with notes of raisin and dark fruits. The hops are present but don't seem to jump out at me like I would expect from a Stone brew. The mouthfeel is medium in thickness, maybe a bit syrupy, with a nice subtle carbonation. This a solid choice, but perhaps a bit strong and malty sweet for my palate...

4.22/5 rDev +1.7%
Appearance: Pours an odd color for me to describe, goldish, amber, slightly brown, if all those colors can comine into one color I'd guess this would be it. Little head left quickly and left no real lacing.
Smell: Some hops up front with plenty of malt coming through, mostly caramel.
Taste: I half expected to be blown away by the hops in this one, but it is predominately all malt. I realize this bottle of mine is getting on a year old so maybe that extra time helped out in this. I had a fresh one and it was not near this good. It has turned into a great Barleywine.
Mouthfeel: Medium body.
Drinkability: Drinkable for what it is, the alcohol has tamed out a bit over the short time it rested and the hops have toned down a bit. I typically like'em like big hop bombs but this was a pleasent surprise. I'll keep my other one put away for a while longer.

4.6/5 rDev +10.8%
A smothered dark amber glow with a blanket of off-yellowy firm foam about a finger high. Keeps a nice thick skim and collared edge. Lacing is decorated in a pleasing array of stringed patches and spots.
Aroma is slightly tropical with a sliver of alcoholic tinted warmth where warm bodied toffeish malt, mild pineapple, mango, and a piney tug of oils and citric pith make for a nice complexing nose.
Taste is so smooth, much like other Old Guardians, from what seems like ions ago, this has a much smoother malt tone than hop bite. Large malts bring in some very nice caramel swirling about a tropical fruity soaken depth of thick mango-like juices and pleasing warmth of chewy caramel candy. A warming pine oil of hoppy bitterness is sweet and smooth with well rounded orangeyness.
Slight texture of carbonation grits along the edges of the malty smooth body. Thick and succulant, nearly full, body thats warm and toastified. Hoppy oilyness ensues through the finish adding some complexing warmth and flachback of malts.
And, again, much like other Old Guardians, this stuff is majorly drinkable and gone before you know it. Another wonderful rendition by Stone. And my thanks goes to cvschaller for the hook up on so many chances to drink down some fine brews like this one!

Bottle courtesy of Hogtownharry: Poured a reddish color ale with a small foamy head with minimal retention. Aroma of sweet malt is pretty intense with some discernable hops on the top. Taste is dominated by huge sweet malt on the border of being disgustingly too sweet. Finish is hoppy but not overly so and provide a nice balance with the malt. Alcohol is well hidden. Overall, this is a nice example of an American barleywine and something I would probably seek again.

2006 Vintage in a trade from Mr. Rabsten.
Perfect clarity in the dark amber body. Creamy off-white head. A bit of yeast floating but no carbonation. Looks very elegant in the snifter as it leaves mas lacing.
Nice sweet malt aroma. A bit of alcohol but not much. A very nice candied fruit aroma rounds it out.
Incredibly smooth even after I let it warm. Pretty hoppy but mostly this is alot thinner than I was expecting. Not alot of flavor outside of the sweet malt and piney hops. Hmm.. a lil disappointed. Not good when the aroma is much more complex than the beer itself. Lingering hop aftertaste.
Medium-Full bodied with very little carbonation. Pretty easy drinking, I just wish it had as much flavor as the aroma boasted. :(

Bomber, allowed to warm a bit and then poured in a goblet. Nice deep darkish almond amber, clear, with a minor tan head and leaving fine, rich and scattered lacing. Nose is of mellow malts and some alcohol. Waves of malt, warming alcohol, honey, smokey, vinious and of course, heady stuff. Smooth, coating, world class sipper/Night capper. What can be said beyond this is yet more wonderful beer from the left coast's Stone Brewing Co. Plus Stone puts this out @ $5.50 for a 22 oz. bomber ( Purchased at New Beer in NYC) Truly a bargain for world class BW. Wish I had the set up to put a case away every year for a few years...

Pours a fairly thin orange, with a hint of red. about a 1/2 inch head in the snifter, but almost no head when poured in the goblet.
Strong nose of alcohol and hops (pretty much what i expect from a Stone brew).
Taste was different than i expected - very little hops, smooth creamy malts coated the palate. Tasted quite a bit of vanilla, which i think mixed well with the strong alcohol presence (the alcohol was weird - very mild up front, but quite strong in the aftertaste).
Fairly thin for a barleywine (others seem to have commented on this as well).
Fairly drinkable - especially for the style.
Not quite what i expected, but i really liked it nonetheless.

A: Slight head, cloudy. Once it settles down it looks much like a darker scotch.
S: Very sweet, alcohol coming through at the end.
T: Sweet at first, alochol coming through towards the back end, with a bit of a hop aftertaste. The sweet sensation does stay on your tongue however.
M: At first I thought it was rather thin compared to some other barelywines I have had, but the beer does in fact coat the mouth quite well, leaving a lingering of malt.
D: Good, but not an everyday beer. I have had this one for a few months and thought it was time to break it out, but this will hold me over for several more months.

Getting on the ship went as smoothly as any I can remember. We sailed the Magic 5/6/2012 and agaian 7/7/2013 and the process took a little longer but somehow was smoother. We managed to not have our carton of soft drinks opened (altho they were in our arms) and the bottle of wine in our carry on bag was either undetected or no big deal. Gate rep was very nice and helpful.
Ate lunch at the Italian restaurant which was good with HUGE portions. Luggage arrived timely and cabin steward was nice and did a very good job.
We're big gamblers and Manish in the casino was great. Beverage service there was excellent. I don't understand why on a ship this size there is only 1 craps table. Many times I would have played but could not get a spot at the table. There were many blackjack tables empty, however.
I saw 1 "production" show - WIN - and was disappointed when recalling previous shows of that type on other Carnival cruises. The comedians were not that funny and one "illusion" show was in the Spotlight lounge and that venue was terrible for that show.
The food was average Carnival at best. I am not picky or finicky or snobby but the service in the Southern Lights at 8:15 was way below what I have had before and what I enjoy most about cruising. We didn't have unusual requests but our final night - when the "showtime" started at 9:20, our appetizer plates (empty) were sitting in front of us with no wait staff in sight. Others around us were on dessert and it was almost 15 minutes later before we got our main meal. The waiter and his assistant were nice but were either inexperienced or stretched too thin - or both.
All in all it was a great, relaxing cruise but it left me wanting to try another line and definitely different ports.

Edward S. Herman
left always has a problem at election time, and embattled left pens are already
trying to demonstrate that we should: (1) forego voting; (2) vote for Ralph
Nader; or (3) vote for the lesser evil (Gore). The fact that there is always
such vigorous dispute on this subject, with people of solid left credentials
coming to sharply different conclusions, results in part from the extremely
marginal position of the left. Its members never have the option of voting for
candidates who support left positions and who also have any serious chance of
attaining high office. Leftists are always in the position of having to
participate, if at all, as outsiders.
produces one strand of argument as regards voting that says that if the system
will not allow anybody who represents our basic values and policy positions to
make a serious electoral bid for power, we should reject the entire enterprise
by refusing to participate. This position rests on the belief that our views can
not be heard and the positions we favor can not be debated because of a stacked
deck–stacked by the overwhelming importance of corporate money in elections,
plus the huge bias of the corporate and advertiser-funded media. To vote is to
give some kind of approval to this process, suggesting that this is really
democracy in action and that change can be effected through electoral
participation. This also distracts people from thinking about organizing and
acting to do something that would really facilitate change.
case for non-participation is stronger when the "lesser evil"
represents a genuine evil. For example, consider that the Clinton-Gore team has
been the leader in imposing "sanctions of mass destruction" in Iraq
that have killed over a million Iraqis, with monthly ongoing totals during the
electoral campaign of an estimated 4,000 or more children under five years of
age. This team is also guilty of other serious crimes, in Colombia, Serbia,
Kosovo, East Timor, and elsewhere. At home, its support of the 1996 Personal
Responsibility act, ending the U.S. committment to assist poor people, and its
crime and terrorism legislation, have been serious betrayals of principle and
elementary decency and attacks on human rights and civil liberties. Gore has
supported all these actions and policies and hasn't distanced himself from them
even for electoral purposes. A vote for this "lesser evil" is
therefore a vote that implicitly approves seriously regressive policies at home,
a growing military budget, an aggressive and murderous foreign policy, and the
commission of literal war crimes abroad.
in addition to refusing to participate because the deck is stacked and
progressive change through electoral politics is therefore ruled out in advance
by the structural facts of "golden rule," we may also refuse to vote
for people whose performance no leftist can accept and approve. A vote is a form
of approval of the candidate as well as the process–nonvoting is a way of
expressing disapproval of both, and as more and more people do refuse to vote
the system as well as the candidates lose credibility. I suspect that if the
voting option "none of the above" was made available, many people who
pull the lever for candidates while holding their noses, would instead vote that
the existing plutocratic electoral democracy is failing to provide vote-worthy
Ralph Nader. He is making a presidential run on the Green Party ticket that is
more serious than the one he attempted in 1996. He is trying to raise money and
he plans to campaign aggressively and participate in debates with the other
candidates whenever possible. He will talk about a string of issues off the
two-party agenda, centering in excessive corporate power and the means of
controlling it, and including corporate welfare, environmental abuses, the
bloated military budget and shriveled public sector, free trade, and the
militarization of foreign policy. Voting for Nader represents a form of refusal
and rejection of the "practical" options.
Pollitt, who voted for Nader in 1996, assails his candidacy this year
("Progressive Presidential Politics," Nation, April 17, 2000), even
though he is making a more serious effort to get his message across and win
votes. She contends that third parties can't win in the United States–the
playing field is too unlevel–so that such efforts are futile and a waste of
energy. But her second line of argument is that the differences between the
major political parties are real and that those differences can mean a lot to
affected groups. She mentions that blacks vote very heavily for the Democrats
and apparently see the Republicans as a menace to their welfare. Those deeply
concerned over choice and the fate of Roe versus Wade see a significant
difference in the major parties. The Republicans' push for school privatization
and vouchers makes them also a more serious threat to school teachers and public
schools, so that teachers and many others see concrete gains and losses from
available electoral options. Pollitt doesn't mention the Supreme Court, but for
many the threat of the Republicans putting in another Scalia or Thomas is
frightening–for some this overrides the evil of the lesser evil and all other
considerations and causes them to opt for Gore.
points are not easily dismissed and it is not possible to scoff at their being
decisive considerations for many. However, a few counter considerations deserve
attention. One thing Pollitt and others neglect is the educational function of
alternative parties even as they lose. Nader will be calling continuous
attention to issues that Gore-Bush would like to avoid, and he will be assailing
the dominance of money in limiting our effective choices. Without such a
candidacy who would raise such issues? And even if he loses, many will be aware
that he is losing not because of his lack of presidential merit but because of
the unlevel playing field that he will be attacking. This will mitigate the
potentially demoralizing effect of his modest vote.
the differences between the Democrats and Republicans and the net value of the
Democrats winning, several cautions are in order. First, on some issues the
Clinton administration has been worse than the Republicans, as in the crime and
terrorism legislation, and possibly even in its aggressive, militaristic and
cruel foreign policy. In its priority push of the corporate agenda supporting
free trade and unconstrained corporate globalization, a balanced budget, and
welfare "reform," while protecting the military budget, the
Clintonites have actually led the country in the direction desired by the
corporate community and "moderate" Republicans. With a Democratic
president, the Democratic Party supported policies that it would have opposed or
moderated if offered by a Republican president. The Democrats and many
progressives are lulled into complaisance or are paralyzed when their leader is
in office, mouthing liberal slogans even as he subverts liberalism.
priority efforts pursued by Clinton and supported by his party feed back to
damage folks like teachers and blacks who see concrete advantages in supporting
Democrats. Without anybody seriously contesting these central policies the
corporate agenda will continue to dominate and benefits to those outside this
small clique of beneficiaries will tend to shrink. It can be argued that third
parties are needed as a protection against the Democrats doing this–either by
forcing the Democrats back to populist service or by directly providing the
democratic alternative that the Democrats have abandoned.
and others also downplay a long-term versus short-term perspective. Arguably the
immediate differences between the lesser and greater evil must be weighed
against the secular overall move to the right helped along by voting for
short-term interests in each election. Because the Democrats can count on many
people voting for them for narrow concrete gains and marginal differences- -many
approaching the nominal only–they can focus on attracting a more conservative
constituency (and accommodating their corporate funders) by gradually abandoning
populist policies and service to their mass constituency, as Clinton has done.
This strategy has not been a winner for the Democrats, as it has contributed to
shifts from majority to minority positions in the U.S. senate, house, and in
state governorships in the Clinton years, as well as a weakened presidency.
the concrete gains of the short run may be illusory if the entire dynamic of the
Democratic Party's shifting to the right wipes out benefits and entitlements and
then reinstates some fraction of those undermined, which the Republicans would
leave wiped out. If this is the case, the short-run calculus of those supporting
the Democrats for such concrete gains may thus be helping undermine non-elite
benefits in the long run.
counter-argument to the above is that the long-run is a series of short-runs, so
that third parties and non-voting that gives the more evil party control will
push the political spectrum to the right even faster and impose heavy costs on a
large number of victims afforded at least minimal protection by Democratic rule.
The concrete small gains are a bird in the hand; the possible long- run gains
are speculative and far from assured. It is not clear that if the Democrats
halted their march to the right that that march, which is based in part on
structural changes damaging to real democracy that feed into the political
process, would not actually accelerate.
the other hand, Republican control and policies might polarize enough to clarify
issues for many people and force changes in the party alignments–making a third
party viable if not impelling changes in the Democratic party. Admittedly this
could be dangerous and risky, and I do not claim to have definitive answers to
these difficult questions. There are many unknowns in this pretty bleak picture.
I myself am planning to help and vote for Ralph Nader, based on the weights I
give the considerations discussed above. But I am not about to attack others
like Pollitt who have a different view and different weighting of the variables
and values at stake.

LAKE PLACID — The Moreland Commission on Utility Storm Preparation and Response is holding a hearing to solicit comments from the public this evening in Lake Placid.
The hearing will be held at 6 p.m. Olympic Regional Development Authority, Edelweiss Room, second floor, 2634 Main St.
Residents unable to present testimony in person may also submit testimony at email@example.com.
To date, the Moreland Commission has held seven public hearings: in New York City, Nassau and Suffolk, Westchester, Ulster, Queens and Staten Island.
These public hearings focus on the emergency preparedness and response of utilities to recent storms and recommendations for restructuring the oversight of energy utilities in New York to improve the reliable and affordable transmission of power.
On the latter point, the Moreland Commission is specifically seeking comments from contributors who can provide guidance and insight into overlapping services provided by the Public Service Commission and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority that impact residents and businesses.
Members of the public wishing to testify at the hearing are asked to address these issues. They will be able to register to speak at the event and are asked to keep their oral comments to no more than three minutes to allow as many people as possible to share their views.
The public may also submit written comments before or after the hearings at email@example.com.

This module focuses on how two drugs, nicotine and alcohol, change the functioning of the brain and body. Both drugs are widely used and can cause a number of negative effects on the body and brain, ranging from mild symptoms to addiction.
Through the media, students are exposed to a great deal of information about alcohol and tobacco, much of which is misleading or scientifically inaccurate. This module will provide information on what researchers have learned about how nicotine and alcohol change the brain, and the resulting implications for safety and health.
The goal of this module is to help students understand that, although nicotine and alcohol are legal for adults, they are not harmless substances. Students will learn about how nicotine and alcohol change or disrupt the process of neurotransmission. Students will explore information on the short- and long-term effects of these two drugs, and also learn why they are illegal for children and teens.
Learning Objectives
At the end of this module, students can:
- Explain how nicotine disrupts neurotransmission.
- Explain how alcohol use may harm the brain and the body.
- Understand how alcohol can intensify the effects of other drugs.
- Define addiction and understand its basis in the brain.
- Draw conclusions about why our society regulates the use of nicotine and alcohol for young people.

iPhone Storage Cleaning Apps/Programs?
I started with this in the Across Age thread, but instead of continuing to derail that thread, I thought I'd post here.
Vovin and chris1a gave me some tips on a problem I was having after installing Across Age 2. Basically, I had over a gigabyte free. And after installing AA2, I had ZERO bytes free even though that app was only 529 MB. I've had times where installing something and then rebooting I'd maybe gain a little space, but never had lost about 500 MB of space. And rebooting didn't work.
I've used iExplorer and iFunBox but don't really know where to look (Vovin gave me a path, but I think it may have changed under iOS 7 because I couldn't find it). I also found a utility on CNET for cleaning iPhones/iPads, but it cleaned a whopping 5 MB for me.
What's interesting is that ALL three of those Windows apps said I had well over 300 MB free (still lower than I expected, but more than what my iPhone was showing). So now I'm wondering if it's not just a temporary file taking up space, but also something where my phone isn't properly gauging my free space.
So anyway, are there any apps or Windows programs that can find problems like this or clean up wasted space? Or do you know the iOS 7 directories that may have some of the garbage?
chris1a said it looked like Apple had removed the cleaners from the App Store (bastards!). But any help would be great. I may have even more than that 500 MB that disappeared around on that thing!
Damn I saw one of those device cleaners pop up on appzap for free a few weeks ago, but I ignored it. Should have grabbed it. Apple wants so much control over us.... Though I doubt they would spare that much space anyway, the best thing to do is just delete unwanted crap..
I have like 5gig in photos alone. Really got to go through them at some stage.
Have you turned iCloud on? Least that'll save you 5gigs. Personally I don't wish to do that, but I'm running low on space now, had my device for almost a year, and it's 64gig, I've been downloading whatever I want with reckless abandonment, now I'll have to go back and do the walk of shame and delete the trash. 😢
I have iClean installed on my device but it got pulled out from the appstore.
My first time trying it deleted 400+MB
and i use it Monthly and it deletes around 100-200MB
But my game data,songs,video are fine.

A employee for CenturyLink was shot Tuesday afternoon while on the job in the area of 22nd Street and Southern.
The worker was in his vehicle in the alley when he was shot. He was looking down at some maps while seated in the car, preparing to do some sort of engineering work, when he was approached by a man on a bicycle.
That man, who was wearing a hoodie, demanded his money and his wallet and shot him in the shoulder.
"As he is trying to retrieve the items from his person, he is shot in the course of what he described as a robbery to us," said Phoenix Police Sgt. Trent Crump.
The worker was able to drive himself away from the scene. Phoenix Fire paramedics picked him up and took him to Maricopa Medical Center.
He suffered non life-threatening injuries and is expected to survive.
One person has been taken into custody in connection to the shooting. Police were able to catch him fairly quickly.

It was no surprise that Coenen won with a submission off her back -- that's her specialty -- but it was a surprise that she took so much punishment before she got there: Carmouche was a huge underdog, but she had thoroughly pounded on Coenen in the second and third rounds of the fight, and appeared to be close to pulling off a major upset.
But Coenen, in a move reminiscent of Anderson SIlva's comeback victory over Chael Sonnen, used a triangle choke off her back to force Carmouche to tap in the fourth.
"Liz was whipping my ass," Coenen said. "She will be a future champ some day."
Things got interesting in the second round when Coenen applied a tight guillotine choke from a standing position and held onto it even as they went to the ground, only to have Carmouche pull her head free. Most of the rest of the round consisted of Carmouche on top of Coenen on the ground, and although Coenen attempted multiple submissions off her back, it was Carmouche who controlled things, ending the round with a furious ground and pound assault. Coenen appeared to be in trouble, and she had a black eye.
The third round was even more dominant for Carmouche on the ground, with Coenen becoming less active off her back and Carmouche even more effective with the ground and pound from mount. Late in the round the referee easily could have stopped the fight, and Coenen appeared to be in big trouble.
But Coenen is great off her back, and she showed that in the fourth round. The fight went to the ground once again, but this time Coenen worked her way into a triangle choke and Carmouche tapped out.
Most observers were surprised that Carmouche was such a game opponent, but Carmouche herself wasn't.
"I wasn't surprised," Carmouche said. "I just wish I had finished the right way. I have room to improve and I'm going to do that."
If Carmouche does improve, she'll be one of the best female fighters in the world. She made her mark on Saturday night.

In US patients, bronchiectasis has a specific etiology that usually can be determined, with ethnicity being a major influence.
In contrast to findings from previous investigations, new research suggests that bronchiectasis is not primarily idiopathic but rather has a specific cause that can be determined in a majority of cases. According to Pamela J. McShane, MD, and colleagues from the University of Chicago Medical Center, causative factors are significantly influenced by ethnicity.
"Bronchiectasis has many causes, some of which are treatable," the researchers noted. Previous studies have involved cohorts from single centers within the UK, they added.
Comprehensive Evaluations
Included in the current study were bronchiectasis patients at a university referral center without cystic fibrosis, emphysema, or interstitial lung disease. Each patient was administered a questionnaire assessing demographics, medication use, use of tobacco and alcohol, travel history, occupational and environmental exposures, and medical history, including clinical features of bronchiectasis. Pulmonary function was measured as per American Thoracic Society guidelines. In addition, all patients underwent high-resolution CT scanning.
The investigators reviewed microbiologic results of sputum and bronchoalveolar lavage samples obtained prior to study entry. Sputum also was obtained at the time of study entry, during follow-up visits, and during exacerbations. Plasma quantitative immunoglobulin levels were among the laboratory data obtained.
A total of 106 patients (mean age, 61.4; women, 71.4%) were included in the complete analysis. With regard to ethnicity, 60 subjects were European American, 30 were African American, 10 were Hispanic American, and three were Asian American. Among African American patients, BMI was significantly higher than for other ethnic groups. Demographic and clinical symptoms were not statistically different among the ethnic groups.
Identification in More Than 90% of Cases
"Prior investigations into the etiology of bronchiectasis have found that between 26% and 53% of cases are idiopathic, " the study authors noted. "In contrast, only 6.6% of the present cases were idiopathic after systemic evaluation."
Bronchiectasis was the result of immune dysregulation in 63.4% of all patients (eg, immune deficiency, autoimmunity, hematologic malignancy, and allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis). Aspiration (11.3%) and infection (mycobacterial, 9,4%; prior pneumonia, 9.4%) were among other common causes.
Nearly 29% of African American patients had bronchiectasis due to rheumatoid arthritis versus 6% of European patients. In European American patients, hematologic malignancy was the causative factor in 20% of cases versus 0% in African American patients. Significantly more Hispanic patients had Pseudomonas aeruginosa in their sputum compared with either African Americans or European Americans.
"An important new finding is the appreciable number (14%) of patients with hematologic malignancy or stem cell transplantation who developed bronchiectasis," the researchers pointed out. "Although malignancy is a known cause of bronchiectasis, the exact pathogenesis is not defined. A central question is whether it is a manifestation of bronchiolitis obliterans resulting from graft versus host disease." They also noted that six of 11 patients who received stem cell transplantation met criteria for bronchiolitis obliterans diagnosis.
The researchers acknowledged that their observational study of a single referral-based center is hypothesis generating. In addition, they allowed that the autoimmune features present in 12.3% of patients in the study may be coincidental and not the cause of their bronchiectasis. However, adding these patients to the 6.6% of patients with an idiopathic cause is still less than the 53% of idiopathic bronchiectasis seen in previous investigations, they contended.

Burlington, Vermont - March 15, 2011
On March 2, a new partnership was finalized that will help better protect our region's household pets during disasters.
The Vermont and New Hampshire Valley American Red Cross and the Vermont Disaster Animal Response Team are now working to establish a framework of cooperation to provide emergency response resources for animal owners and their pets.
Red Cross Chief Response Officer Tim Stetson says Hurricane Katrina brought the issue of animal well-being to the forefront. Emergency shelters do not allow animals with the exception of service animals, and many responders find people are unwilling to leave their homes if they have to leave their pets behind.
Thanks to this partnership, Stetson says families in our region will have resources available to help both them and their pets should a disaster occur.
This effort will require local response teams in numerous counties, as well as people to help with planning and coordination. To volunteer, contact Tim Stetson at firstname.lastname@example.com or Dr. Jackson R. Schonberg, chair of the VDART Board of Directors, at email@example.com.

After seeing Boss's ad for the rare toolbars I have some questions.
1. What was the main purpose for the different degree tool bars? Where they made for the High Wide or High Crop Cubs?
2. Did they make a different Lift Rods for these? The ones I have do not have a loop bend at the bottom where they hook to the toolbar but instead have a 90 degree bend and go under the toolbar into the upside down bracked and have a cotter pin in the end. They have the part number 1771B on the top mount that has a set pin that tightens up on the lift bar.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Statue tribute to WWII military burns plastic surgeonby Penny Silvester
For many years no-one knew how to treat burns victims left badly scarred by fire. Then during the Second World War a surgeon in Sussex pioneered plastic surgery to help repair damaged faces and limbs. The ground breaking work of Sir Archibald McIndoe is to be remembered in a new statue.
The sculptor tasked with capturing the surgeon's likeness will bring his own personal insight to the project. His father was one of Sir Archibald patients, and the commission came about purely by chance. Penny Silvester reports.

I have to admit, when I did the first edition of the Smoking Musket Bubble Watch, I really thought the Mountaineers would beat Texas Tech and either Baylor or K-State. Seriously. I know I'm an eternal optimist, but you don't start blogging about WVU without them somehow being able to keep your attention for extended periods of complete frustration. Either that or an uncommon fixation with train wrecks, car accidents and general fail.
So, yeah. Things didn't go the way I planned. I may have thrown a few household items during the Baylor game, which otherwise ruined a pretty great night of homemade filet and outstanding Sangiovese (don't knock it til you've tried it) with my special someone. As an aside, you know you've got a keeper when she understandingly allows you to throw said assorted household items with complete understanding as to the source of your frustration. Saturday I pretty much laughed through the Texas Tech debacle. Then on Monday, I just had to revel in the push that the Mountaineers forced by rallying from 20 down at the 3:22 mark to lose by only 10. We'll call that one a push.
Okay, so on to the remaining games:
- 2/23 v. Oklahoma State 19-5 (9-3) RPI: 23 - So, this one's at home. That's about the only reason we could sorta possibly maybe have a chance. And they're fallible. They lost to Iowa State, who we almost beat in Ames. Feeling confident yet?
- 2/27 v. Baylor 16-9 (7-5) RPI: 56 - Hey! Another home game! ...
- 3/2 @ Kansas 21-4 (9-3) RPI: 9 - Um. Well, they lost to TCU, so I guess anything is possible?
- 3/6 @ Oklahoma 16-8 (7-5) RPI: 18 - It's hard to beat the same team three times in a year! Right guys? Guys?
- 3/9 v. Iowa State 17-8 (7-5) RPI: 47 - I honestly think we have a chance to win this. If Dom Rutledge can't get a start in this one, Huggs needs to go. Or something.
Yeah, we have to win all the remaining games and a few in the conference tournament to even get in the discussion. That's entirely unlikely. If they could pull it out of nowhere, they would have some solid wins. But let's face it, it's not happening. But as long as we can still get on the bubble by doing something other than winning the Big 12 tournament, I'll keep updating this.

In their WIC lunch presentation, Sandra focused her remarks on Rachel Carson while Judy spoke about Sarah Orne Jewett, Ruth Moore, and Cathie Pelletier. Judy titled her section of the presentation "When 'Where' Becomes 'Why': Maine Women Writers and a Sense of Place" and summarized her presentation this way:
The title says it all–When "Where" Becomes "Why." I looked at the works of three Maine women writers spanning several generations for whom "place" was a determining factor in how people lived their lives, especially in how it limited their possibilities. In general, literature of place takes as important such dimensions as geographical location (think of the differences between living on the open plain and in a narrow, tree-filled valley); details of physical setting; community, family, and individual historical roots; economic condition—what people do to earn a living and what impact that work has on them, again in terms of the community, the family, and the individual; and personal and community culture, values, priorities, and expectations. Critic and editor Louis D. Rubin, Jr. wrote: "In the best fiction, place is not only geography and history; it is a way of looking at the world"—and, I would add—the way the world may look at you. The three Maine writers and the specific works I referred to are: Sarah Orne Jewett, who wrote in The Country of the Pointed Firs about an isolated coastal village in the 19th century; Ruth Moore, whose setting in The Weir is an island three miles at sea; and Cathie Pelletier, whose fictional Mattagash—the setting for The Funeral Makers and several other novels—butts up against the great stretches of northern Maine forest. Significantly, all three are both insiders and outsiders in relation to their places, a position that gives them both intimate knowledge of a place and some perspective on it.

One minute, you're getting ready for a playoff game, and the next minute Keith Olbermann is breaking rumors about the Marlins trading for Alex Rodriguez. Okay.
This isn't coming from Ken Rosenthal, Jon Heyman, or Buster Olney. This is coming from Keith Olbermann, who used to be a SportsCenter anchor 15 years ago, and he has a blog on MLB.com, so, I don't know, I guess he knows people in high places. And in Olbermann's blog, he suggests that the Marlins are interested in A-Rod with the Yankees assuming almost his entire salary.
Sources close to both organizations confirm the Yankees would pay all – or virtually all – of the $114,000,000 Rodriguez is owed in a contract that runs through the rest of this season and the next five. One alternative scenario has also been discussed in which the Yankees would pay less of Rodriguez's salary, but would obtain the troubled Marlins' reliever Heath Bell and pay what remains of the three-year, $27,000,000 deal Bell signed last winter.
Oh. Let's see ... "control-F" ... search for "no-trade clause" ... huh ... nothing about a no-trade clause in the article, even though Rodriguez has full no-trade protection. Seems legit. Then the report devolves in to something with a bunch of Donald Trump tweets, and ... yeah, I have no idea.
After the Red Sox traded an injured Carl Crawford, I guess I wouldn't be surprised at any deal now. And Rodriguez is from Miami and lives there in the offseason, plus he hates New York, which is why he fails on purpose, so it's not necessarily unlikely that he'd waive the no-trade protection.
Considering that it's an unlikely source and an unlikely rumor at an unlikely time, it's probably just best to point and laugh for now. But I guess the Yankees are sick of him, and the Marlins are kind of crazy and erratic.
In the meantime, the Yankees will have to deal with Alex Rodriguez, platoon player and last man off the bench until the offseason. And if they're willing to eat $114 million -- $114 million! -- I'll bet there are a lot of teams who would want Rodriguez. Apparently the Marlins are atop the list.

Aidan Yeager named A-Sun "Player of the Week"
Related Links
Senior outside hitter Aidan Yeager has been known for her long frame but her broad shoulders carried the JU volleyball team to a 2-0 week, including a 3-2 win over FGCU, and her first Atlantic Sun Conference "Player of the Week" honors.
In two matches to start A-Sun play, Yeager led the Dolphins with 27 kills, 3.86 kills per set, a .421 (27-3-57) hitting percentage, eight blocks, six service aces and two digs.
"Aidan had an injury plagued season in 2009, so it is just nice to see her back playing at a high level," said JU head coach Shaun Kupferberg. "She had an amazing weekend on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball so we're excited for her efforts to be recognized."
In the slugfest against FGCU, Yeager paced the squad in the final two sets to finish with a career-high 21 kills, a .426 (21-1-47) hitting percentage and a career-high six service aces. She concluded the weekend with six kills, a .400 (6-2-10) hitting percentage and five blocks in only two sets during a 3-0 win over Stetson.
In her fourth year with the program, Yeager is finding her way into the JU career record books for her abilities at the net.
With two blocks vs. New Mexico on Sept. 18, Yeager surpassed Melissa Merchant (281, 2006-07) for second on the JU career list for blocks assists. She is now 56 shy of Danielle Neville's (2002-05) program record of 353. She also moved into the top five in total career blocks with 307 and is 10 shy of surpassing Merchant (316) for fourth.
Offensively, Yeager is making her way into the top five in career kills and is 64 kills away from becoming the sixth Dolphin to reach 1,000. She is currently 72 kills away from surpassing Sara Bendorf (1,006 - 2006-08) for fifth on the all-time list.
Yeager currently ranks sixth in the A-Sun with a .300 hitting percentage, tied for second with 0.43 service aces per set and 10th with 2.68 kills per set.
JU will continue A-Sun play this week in Georgia on Friday at 7 p.m. against Kennesaw State.

Works for thicker doors.
By Lady Dragonfly USA
from The South
Well made, but white is not right for my wooden doors. Before assembly, I used brown spray paint on the visible bracket portion, then assembled. While the brackets accommodate thick doors, they are 1/2" too thick, which causes them to "rock" and therefore not clear the sliver of space between the door and jamb. They need to provide dense foam pads inside the bracket to take up the slack and protect the door (as oversize causes it to wiggle and sit crookedly, which can ding the door. Once again being resourceful, I used cut down wooden paint stirrers to take up slack and stabilize, and a small piece of foam shelf helmet liner to protect the door.

About Me Homeowner, Professional
I use this product to hang the jackets I wear to work every day. It makes getting dressed in the morning much more convenient and fast. It also provides more space for clothes on the other bars. I was impressed that I could actually close the door due to the slim design over the door's edge. I'm thinking about buying another.

I use the closet rod in the laundry closet and on my bedroom closet to hang clothing that I reach for the most. I am always surprised and thrilled by how much the rods hold. I am able to see what's available quickly and easily and grab what I need without fuss. I have yet to find anything wrong with them.

FGCU Women's Tennis Ready for Pair of Weekend Matches
FORT MYERS, Fla. – The FGCU women's tennis team will open conference play this Sunday (Feb. 14) when they host Stetson at 1 p.m. at the FGCU Tennis Complex. Before that, the Eagles will travel to Gainesville for a match with Florida A&M on Friday (Feb. 12) at 1:30 p.m.
The Blue and Green (1-2) opened the 2010 dual match season three weekends ago, dropping close matches to Troy and Central Florida before sweeping Bethune-Cookman 7-0. Senior Priscillia Villemond (Les Bordes, France) and junior Jessica Sweeting (Freeport, Bahamas) each recorded perfect 3-0 singles records to start the season. Sweeting, a transfer from USF, earned A-Sun player of the week honors for her effort.
Last weekend, FGCU's match against Florida Atlantic was postponed due to rain. The two teams will try to make up the match later this season, but a date and time have yet to be determined.
Friday's match will be the season opener for Florida A&M. The Rattlers compiled a 17-8 record last season, advancing to the MEAC Championship where they were defeated by South Carolina State, 4-1.
The Hatters currently own a 2-1 record, with their only loss coming at 43rd-ranked South Florida. Stetson will play Florida Atlantic in Boca Raton, Fla., on Saturday (Feb. 13) before travelling to Fort Myers for Sunday's match.
Sunday's match against Stetson is set to begin at 1 p.m. at the FGCU Tennis Complex. Admission is free to the public.

There are a few reasons to use a slow shutter speed on fast or slow moving objects.
In sports like Formula One it is a great technique to visualize the actual speed. If you use 1/1000 sec on a race car it almost looks like the car is parked on the track. If you pan the picture on a slow shutter speed the actual speed of the race is a lot more visible.
Another reason for using pans is simply to get a more "creative" image of an originally boring or ordinary moment. Using a slow shutter speed of a company CEO walking into a news conference is often a better illustration than a "talking head" shot.
The most important aspect to creating a nice panning picture is the right movement with your camera. If you follow an object too fast you will not "freeze" the essential part of the picture (like an athlete, car etc…).
I usually play around with different exposure times. New lens technologies with image stabilizing programs help keep the image sharp but it is still important that the photographer does not move the camera vertically while following an object on a horizontal plane. If you move both ways the image will look shaky and most of the time its not usable.

Mexico has Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez, Andres Guardado, Pablo Barrera. The United States will try to defend them with Geoff Cameron, Michael Orozco Fiscal, Matt Besler, Steven Beiteshour and out-of-position Maurice Edu, among others. Uh oh.
The American defense doesn't stand much of a chance against that Mexican attack, which means Tim Howard is in for a busy day. Jurgen Klinsmann chose to leave most of his European-based players with their clubs for this match, but Howard made the team and for good reason -- he might be charged with keeping the match from getting out of hand.
Everybody knows that Howard is up to the task. That is not to say that Howard will certainly play out of his mind and leave the Mexican's wondering if there is an invisible wall in front of the goal line, but he has a chance.
Howard has played the role of hero before, probably most notably when the U.S. took on Argentina at Giants Stadium in 2008. The Argentines, as is their wont, tore apart the American defense and were in on goal time and time again. But Howard turned them away each time, denying Lionel Messi, Sergio Aguero and the rest of the Argentina team to earn the U.S. a 0-0 draw.
Against Mexico, Howard might have to be every bit as good as he was against Argentina four years ago and Klinsmann may have to play him all 90 minutes. Nick Rimando and Sean Johnson are fine goalkeepers, but they are not Howard and a halftime switch will put the U.S. in trouble. This one calls for 90 minutes of Howard and the very best of Howard if the Americans want a result. After all, Chicharito is no Messi.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - A man was arraigned by the Mahoning County Grand Jury Tuesday morning on aggravated robbery and menacing charges.
The Youngstown Police Department charged Christopher Cunningham, 52, with two counts of aggravated robbery, four counts of aggravated menacing, intimidation of a witness, resisting arrest and attempted criminal damage after an incident downtown on New Year's Day.
Cunningham is accused of punching a man in the back of the head near the Western Reserve Transit Authority on Mahoning Avenue and stealing his jacket then stealing a woman's cell phone near Federal Plaza.
Police arrested Cunningham near Vindicator Square the morning of the two robberies after receiving separate calls from the two victims that described the same perpetrator.
Cunningham threatened to kill the arresting officers and had to be subdued with pepper spray.
A grand jury indicted Cunningham on the aggravated robbery charges January 24.
