Coppery color and crystal clear body with a nearly white, thin cap of foam. Aroma is herbal hops and a touch of caramel malt. Flavor is smooth and crisp with a clean finish. Malt sweetness lies just below the herbal hop and fruity tastes. Very nice. Mouthfeel is fairly light, but not at all watery. Interesting brew that begs you to drink more.

Poured into a standard pint glass a rich bronze color with a hint of brownish hue a well formed creamy 1/2 finger white head atop,interesting herbal aromas almost vegetal in character a roasted nut character lends itself well to the uniquiness of the aromas.Lightly sweet flavors that of molasses and brown sugar up front with a nutty base a very nice herbal/peppery sharpness really comes thru in the finish really really nice.This is probably one of the standards if not the standard of the style and it shows why light but complex and very flavorful,kick ass.

Appearance This one is clear with a solid brown color and a foaming head that showed incredible retention. It left some cool lacing on the inside of my Pils glass, which I sacrilegiously used just for the hell of it.
Smell The malts here are heavier than what youd expect in an Altbier, but of course this is the double secret delicious drop. The sweets are muted at this point, but the hops are actually quite large.
Taste Yes, this is a Düsseldorf classic. Its much bigger than a normal Altbier, although you could still probably session it. The alcohol is incognito. The malts are big and bitter, adding to the bitterness from the hops. This one also has a big brown sugary kick at the end, giving away the location of the brewery.
Mouthfeel The Doppelsticke is on the big side of medium-bodied yet still very sessionable. The flavors and mouthfeel fall rightly in order.
Drinkability This is a little bigger than I prefer my Altbiers, but it sure lives up to its billing. If you want to try an Altbier on steroids than this is it. You could probably even cellar this is you wanted.

Caramelly cider colored with a white head. Slightly musty, maybe a bit skunky scent to it. Dry and musty flavored and bittered. Light and slight creamy nice feel to it. Keeps the flavor on your tongue. Mainly malty, lightly hoppy flavored. Easy drinker.

Bottled on 04.18. Served in a tall cylinder glass.
Aroma: Very strong, rich caramel aromas. Some roast.
Apperance: Crystal clear, copper orange, with a dirty white head.
Flavor: There is something about this beer that I do not like. It really hits the sides of my tounge. It is very bitter, but that fades fast, and there is some roast character there.
Palate: Very drying, and that my be what I dont like the most about it.
Overall: I would prefer a fuller, rounder drink from an alt. Is that off base?

Attractive, brown, swingtop bottle pours a hazy, bronze amber body with a 3 cm ivory head that retains well and deposits massive sheet and patch lacing. Quite impressive to behold.
Aroma has a caramel maltiness that is balanced by a fresh, floral hop character.
Mouthfeel has lively carbonation and a light to medium body.
The taste comes off as very well balanced. Lots of fresh tasting hops lend a herbal and floral bitterness that combine very well with the malt varieties used in this Dusseldorf gem. No hint of alcohol, but none expected at 4.5%. A very refreshing, and very enjoyable altbier. The hops never overwhelm, and lend an ideal balance that results in a clasic Alt. Very drinkable!

The bottle came with a caveat from the vendor (Belmont Station): to be drunk very cold, not to let it warm up. This seemed strange to me, and perhaps the first warning sign that this sample was not all it could be. The beer pours a shadowy waxy amber with a substantial head that melts away and leaves a small amount of intricate lace on the glass. Nearly invisible musty aroma, which had all the fleeting substance of a disremembered dream. Some caramel malts up front, tempered with a winey roundness, a gentle nutty flavor, and a light apple quality. A deep-down roastiness reveals itself reluctantly, but adds a twinge of smoke and perhaps coffee. The taste, in itself, actually seems a bit hollow, with a rolling grassy bitterness in the finish that makes up a large part of the flavor. I found this to be an intriguing, enveloping beer, and was impressed by many of its complexities, but it wasn't as likeable as I hoped it would be. This bottle is the second time I've tried the beer; the first was a disastrously sour cask served at the Horse Brass. Based on the elusiveness of this bottled sample, I can only conclude that the beer is best when absolutely fresh, and travelling across both the Atlantic Ocean and the continental U.S. has done this beer absolutely no favors.

Appearance: dark reddish brown (darker than Schumacher), less clarity, foamy white head
Aroma: more pronounced toasty malt character, with subtle noble hop character, dark fruit notes
Taste: toasty malt character, but noticeably more fruit flavor than Schumaher, raisiny-plum dark fruit character, mild bitter finish with noble hop flavor
Mouthfeel: lager like smoothness with biting carbonation, slightly more buttery taste than Schumacher because of increased diacetyl, medium-full body
Overall Impression: A darker, heavier, and more ale like version of the altbier. While this beer exhibits lager like mouthfeel and carbonation, it leans towards an ale in clarity, flavor, and aroma.

Malty aroma with a touch of sweet fruit on a deep inhale. A nice dark amber color. When the glass is sirled, a really intense sweetness is released, I can't place it, but wonderfully pungent. Thin off-white head. First taste on the palate is malt, a bit grainy and this is good. The hops give a nice medium bitterness and good froth heightens them to a strong hoppy finish. First Alt I've had from a bottle in a long time and this is obviously a flagship standard. Very good for quaffing 2+. I do not believe this is a bottle conditioned ale, but mine had some particles in it, no off-flavors though.
Cheers, Joe

Had this on-tap at the Porter Beer Bar in Atlanta.
Pours a hazy rustic copper color with a one-finger pitted white head. The head eventually settles into a thin layer of bubbles on top and a medium-sized ring around the glass. Lacing is good.
Smells of lightly toasted caramel malt with hints of light fruits and bitterness.
Tastes similar to how it smells. The toasted caramel malts are front and center and cover up other flavors a bit too much until the beer warms, then light fruit flavors come out a bit more. There's a solid bitter ending.
Mouthfeel is very good for such a low ABV. Good thickness and creamy carbonation make this go down easily.
Drinkability is good. The flavors take a short while to get accustomed to, but I finished my glass with no problem.
Overall I was impressed - I believe this is only my second Altbier and the first wasn't as true to the style as this. Definitely give this one a shot.

(Served in an American pint glass)
the label says bottled in 1404
A- This beer has a slight hazy nut brown body with a thin broken film of a head. The haze is to thick to see any carbonation.
S- the smell of sweet honeycomb has a light caramel note to it.
T- The taste of slightly sweet honey malt has a nice dry pale malt note. The finish is a smooth dark coffee malt hint that is a bit watery in taste. There is a soft medium Noble hop bitterness that balances the malt nicely.
M- this beer has a medium-light mouthfeel that is watery with a light fizz note in the finish.
D- This beer has some nice malt notes but they are very light and could be a bit more bold.

A mildly hazy deep golden-copper. The head is ducked-down; a large-bubbled dirty white.
The nose is ripe with dry, grainy malts, and dampened sweet caramel ones. Along with loud herb-encrusted hopping.
Taste begins dry- pils-esque for a moment- and full of crackers. Deepens with caramel, but never turns very sweet. An absolute deluge of nuts rain down. Walnuts and almonds and Brazils. Hopping is crisp and loud. There is a sense of molten metal, gold perhaps, or brass. Back to nature upon conclusion, autumnal fields with withering flowers and wind-whipped brown grasses.
And it lingers.
Refined, then refined again.
Cite "lack of complexity"? You're wrong. This runs deeper than beers 3 times its size. The restraint and harmony here are unmatched.
If not for the price, this would be my "anytime" beer. The only two places $4 disappears faster are casinos and strip clubs. And it depends on the Strip Club.
Just goddamn delicious. Perhaps even more so than the Sticke.
Or perhaps not.
Both are Galaxy-class.

Extraordinary easy drink, with lots of carmel and malt but also bitterness, nicely hopped, citrus. Brown with Big head that lasts, and provides creamy ball of foam on way down. Malty and citrus aroma. Finishes with pleasant lingering sweetness. Lovely anytime.

Pours an orangish-brown hue with a smaill white head. Minimal retention. Sweet smell of roasted malt and toffee, probably muted because I didn't let this bottle properly warm up. Very complex palate holds notes of roasted malt, brown sugar, and light hops. Finish is bitter and slightly smoky, like a rauchbier. Nice, sturdy, creamy body. A fairly unique beer, unlike most American-brewed alts.

I will preface this review with this, I have never had an Altbier before and also this is my first BA review. So with that said, I had this wonderful beer at the Brickstore Pub in Decatur GA yesterday. It was served to me in proper glassware a .2L glass with the breweries name printed on it. Small was of sweet malt which is something I normally don't like. I would also say that I was almost put off cause it had a hint of skunkyness to it. Once I tasted it thought the thought of that was quickly gone. It had a very nice caramel taste with just enough bitterness to round it out. The aftertaste was something I can't put my finger on, some kind of warm fruit that's just not distinguishable to me. Overall a wonderful beer that I will be wanting again soon. I might have to find a homebrew recipe for this, so I can always have some on the shelf!

Half finger of tan head. Copper, almost brown, colored body.
Smell is barnyardish, hay, caramel and tinge of lemon.
Taste is bitter/sweet at first, sweet caramel in the middle, long dry bitter finish. A little sourness throughout.
Medium body, low carbonation. Slightly sticky texture.
Tasty and a good altbier.

On tap at Gourmet Haus Staudt in Redwood City.
Pours cloudy medium brown with a lasting off-white head and good lacing.
Aroma is malty and nutty for the most part. Nice but not too much to it.
Flavor is not sweet at all. Caramel malt, grain, slight fruitiness, and slight hops.
Medium-bodied and crisp with good carbonation.
Very good for the style overall, but not outstanding for a beer in general. Drinkable.

25-11 is the date on the bottle...
Pours amber with a 2 fingers offwhite head. Okay lacing & average head retention
S: Ever slight whiffs of malt & hops
Taste: Big grapefruitty/woody taste up front. Slight malt sweetness & a hint of tobbaaco as it warms. Slight astrignecy also perimiates the body. Finishes slightlty sweet with woody notes
MF: Medium bodied, slightlty under carbonated & skews too hoppy for the style IMO
Drinks okay. Maybe this beer is tired? I do know this tasted much malty & sweeter the on one evening I spent at the brewery in Duddeldorf. Would try again if I was sure I getting fresher beer

Moderately hazy, I really like the color offered here, it is a coppery-amber hue with just a tickle of tawny influence. It looks even more beautiful when I hold it to a light. The head was off-white; the bubbles were tightly compacted and about two fingers in height. The head retention was impressive; it was a slow fader, as a tight cap lasted the entire consumption. Subsequent lacing was quite prevalent, thick, and well organized. Lovely.
Altbier is a style that has never impressed me. I realize the two Uerige Alts are considered the best. Still, I wonder how much better could they be? Well I got my hands on Classic and one sniff of the bouquet told me this was a whole different ballgame! Hops are present and accounted for, grassy, herbal, with a kiss of spice. Malt is luscious at times, caramel syrup, almonds, raisins, and a trace of dry crackers. Too bad the potency is only modest. Still the nose is inviting.
The palate was damn good and it even seems to show a little age. A beer this small has a long way to travel. I bet this beer would be killer fresh. Still, the palate has charm, hops upfront that offer a grassy, herbal quality, lightly spicy too. The middle is a good mix of fruit (like raisins and plums) and caramel malt sweetness with a dry, cracker underbelly. At the end a kiss of alcohol-like heat is noticed and then the beer sails to the finish. The finish is graceful, it is a soft mix of all of the above flavors, and nothing stands out above anything else. There is something about the finish that is magical. There is some intangible quality I cant put my finger on, let alone describe. I guess I can just call it complexity and leave it at that. The palate is damn tasty. Im impressed. I cant imagine what this beer would taste like on cask.
Medium in body with subtle carbonation that helps produce a silky-smooth mouthfeel. It is to die for.
This is quite drinkable; too bad it is not sold in a bigger bottle. Too bad it ran me $5.00 for the 11.2 ounces in Milwaukee, WI. Too bad Germany is so far away. Worthy of its reputation recommended.
Update as of 02/02/06: I got another bottle of Classic. Like my first bottle (review above) it shows a little age. I am not going to adjust any of the numbers or really write a new review. I will say I can reaffirm the already known; this is a damn tasty Alt. I want nothing more then a stunningly fresh bottle! I'll try again...

Pours a nice chestnut brown color with a nice dense cream colored head that left some insane lacing on the glass. The aroma is of a rich nutty malt, a bit buttery and a hint of steel. The taste is very malty. Chocolate and roasted malts prevail, some mineral water, and a light but noticable hoppy bitterness towards the end. Perhaps a very very light fruitiness as well. The feel is light and almost watery, fairly soft carbonation and finishes bitter from the malt and hops. A great looking Altbier with a nice roasty malt taste. The feel was a bit thin but that is the only real negative.

Converse's classic sneakers are an essential part of any casual wardrobe — especially "Chucks," the iconic All Star design that put Converse's shoe business on the map. As affordable as they are indispensable, the timeless shoes first came into existence when a young basketball star named Chuck Taylor joined Converse as a salesman in 1921. By 1966, Converse owned 80% of the sneaker market. Chucks have been worn by members of just about every subculture, from rock 'n' rollers to jocks, helping Converse to cement its status as one of the most singularly American shoe brands in existence today.
You don't need to know what starboard and port mean to wear a pair of these summer staples. Instead, just wear them often, with anything from jeans and chinos to shorts — and sometimes even a suit. Here, a sharp selection from Sperry, Eastland, and Del Toro.

Tire Replacement
Posted 02 November 2012 - 05:36 PM
Just purchased a 1996 Coachman Catalina class A motorhome.
Tires on it are 235/80 16.
Coachman rep at headquarters advised 235/85 16. My question to all is "what is a good brand of tire to purchase." Been looking at Goodyear, Michelin, Hankook, Toyo, Sumitomo, BF Goodrich, etc.
What does anyone recommend, as far as brand & series numbers? I need to purchase 2 tires right now in order to move this rig since 2 rear on right side are blown. What sidewall ply rating does anybody run? Could I go with a wider tire, and would that be more stable? Obviously, I am really a newby on this, so any opinions are appreciated.

As far as manufacturer, many people swear by Michelins because they ride "softer" and their RV specific tires are designed to last longer, but they are pricier than other brands.

Are you sure your tires are 285/80 16? I would think they might be 285/60 19. 10 years is a long time for tires of any kind. "BE SAFE, REPLACE"

Replace now. If you think the tires are expensive. let one explode and you most likely could have bought 2 sets for what it will cost to fix the collateral damage. It's nothing you want to take a chance on havng happen.
Unless it has changed in the last 6 months, 16" tires are not included in the FMCA Michelin program. I had the same size tires as you have that I replaced twice at Costco at a very good price. While they no longer install motorhome tires, you can order them and have them installed at an independent dealer. And yes, I would have them balanced.

If you aren't sure how to read the tire age thing HERE is a post with pictures. The posts above on replacing at 5-7 or 8-10 are correct with 10 being the absolute max for motorhome application. Don't be mislead by simply looking at the tread as it is the internal structure you need to concerned with and none of us have X-Ray vision.
RE "Best Tire" Ask 5 people and you will probably get 5 different answers. I do offer some advice on how you can evaluate a variety of brands and how to find the one that best fits your needs. Sorry I can't give you a specific name as I don't know all your requirements.
Hope this helps

My visit to Chinatown
As I said, I went to Chinatown a few days ago while in San Francisco. I still find it very weird that I am a West Coaster now. I still get stumped when I have to fill in the blank CA instead of KY. So, being in San Francisco (and the fact that it is only about 3 hours away) is still kind of a bizarre concept to me. If you had told me 2 years ago that I would have been living a life just a drive away from San Francisco and L.A., I prob. wouldn't have believed you.
So, visiting Chinatown was a bit surreal for me. For me, my only point of reference for such a place was something I saw in a movie (I'm thinking Gremlins and I'm thinking that was New York's Chinatown) or on TV. I had no clue what it would really be like. It is a mixture of things as I experienced it...I saw a lot of fruits and vegetables that I never knew existed as well as congregations of people just doing their daily thing (it was fascinating seeing the groups of men and women congregating in the park playing cards and chess). It was neat to see the little slices of other peoples lives that I had no clue about. I also saw a lot of commercialism and stuff just to make a few bucks emblazoned with American logos and popular cartoon charaters. I'm sure this is the less than authentic part, but I guess that's a part of that culture just like the traditional stuff is now.
Anyway, here's a few pics I took. If you want to learn more about San Francisco's Chinatown, click here. Enjoy :)
Until next time Swellions!

Not that it's part of authentic culture, but I've been visiting ChinaTown in NYC for more than 20 years and as long as I can remember there were stands selling knock-offs and logo-ized merch ;)
At least in NYC- if you travel into Chinatown and look for a restaurant with Chinese patrons, you'll get a more authentic meal. Be prepared to feel like the outsider though.

Chinatown is a fun time! I've lived about an hour away my whole life and I've still only been there about fifteen times. Weird, huh?

Like many of my contemporaries, I was swept up in the great wave of de-conversion led by Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris and Daniel Dennett. It's a pity that most people haven't made it past Hitchens's God Is Not Great, which reads more like a collection of debate transcripts thrown together too quickly. (One has to sympathize: after a career of taking on God's servants, he was surely keen to wage direct war on 'the dear leader'.)
Although he made his career as a print journalist, Hitchens was an adept orator and debater. Perhaps his book-length attack on God fails to impress because he was so skilled at dispatching any reason to entertain faith in an hour-long debate.
Taking on the divine certainly made him so famous, but Hitchens was keen to expose stupidity and groupthink at every turn. In The Missionary Position he convincingly argues that Mother Theresa was a friend of poverty, not of the poor, and that her support of the Duvalier regime in Haiti was disgusting. He makes a convincing case that Henry Kissinger committed crimes against humanity in The Trial of Henry Kissinger, and he eagerly attacked the celebrity cult of Princess Diana in numerous essays.
Hitchens never lacked confidence when making arguments, although his reversal on some positions should deflect accusations of zealotry and absolutism. Hitchens loved stories where justice, rather than one of the so-called "greater goods," takes precedence.
To my mind, when his collections of essays aren't contenders, Hitchens's best book is Letters to a Young Contrarian, which embodies two of his most consistent calls to arms: that we ought never fail to think for ourselves; and that failing to stand up for what we believe in is to commit the double transgression of complicity and cowardice. Perhaps his love of intellectual confrontation -- indeed, valuing it for its own sake -- will not resonate with everyone. But his claim that "conflict may be painful, but the painless solution does not exist in any case and the pursuit of it leads to the painful outcome of mindlessness and pointlessness" is worth heedingt.
For Hitchens, the conflict was something to be enjoyed. He attacked the notion of Utopia, where people sit around in idyll bliss, as something to be reviled.
That was his greatest strength. He had respectable opinions on a number of issues, but his devotion to the process of seeking truth -- and his unwavering defence of standing up for it -- made him so great. Pouring a drink, sitting around a table and arguing until morning is time well spent after all.
Viewed in that light, I enjoyed God is not Great. He was weak when he delved into metaphysics (so was Dawkins) but he did a decent job of focusing on his strengths- political history, pro-secularism- rather than his weaknesses (metaphyics/philosophy). At least, he did a better job than Dawkins did in The God Delusion, in my opinion.
I agree that God is not Great wasn\'t his greatest work, but I think anything he ever wrote was incredible. Before I knew of Hitchens, I didn\'t think there was any way I would actually consider an argument for the morality of the Iraq war, but Hitchens always made you reexamine your position.
Penn Jillette perfectly summarises this: \"Nothing about Christopher Hitchens disagreeing with me depresses me. It means I\'m probably wrong, I got a lot more thinking to do, but it never seems to me that he is disingenuous, it never seems to me that he is lying or scamming me and it never seems to me that he\'s fucking crazy, we just disagree. In my idea of utopia, that\'s how I want to feel about everyone I disagree with.\" Couldn\'t agree more.
For those on the left who view him with suspicion due to his support of interventionism later in life, please read this heart-breaking article he wrote in 2007: http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/features/2007/11/hitchens200711
It\'s clear that while Hitchens viewed the war as being morally necessary, he was never complacent in his support of the Bush administration, nor was he without his doubts about its conduct.
Well, that\'s enough hero-worship for one night.
Thank you, Christopher, for the inspiration over the years and for constantly making me think. You will be missed.

Mom's best advice
Original post made by Mom x 3 on May 1, 2007
My mom's best advice:
1. Build your financial credit and your good name and keep it healthy. Make sure if and when you need something that people find you trustworthy.
2. Get an education. Your freedom, your money, your house and everything can be taken from you... but your education stays with you for a lifetime.
And the most important, and truest:
3. Enjoy your life, because the older you get, the faster the time goes.

Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

An Independence woman has pleaded guilty to child endangerment charges.
The Buchanan County Attorney's Office says Erika Coleman left a 13-year-old and 5-year-old alone in August of 2012.
This was after the Department of Human Services advised the two not be together without adult supervision in 2011. DHS says there were concerns the 13-year-old would sexually abuse the 5-year-old.
Coleman was given a suspended 2-year prison sentenced and was placed on probation.

Tuesday, April 03, 2012, 04:33 am PT (07:33 am ET)
Apple expected to become world's first trillion-dollar company by 2014Shares of Apple have been projected to reach $1,000 in calendar year 2014, which would give the company a market capitalization of about a trillion dollars, making it the first company to ever reach that milestone.
Analyst Gene Munster with Piper Jaffray raised his 12-month price target for AAPL stock to $910 on Tuesday, up from his previous prediction of $718. He sees shares of the company reaching the $1,000 mark just beyond his one-year price target window.
As it has for years, the iPhone will continue to drive Apple's growth going forward, Munster believes. He sees at least 70 percent of all two-year-old iPhone owners upgrading in a given quarter.
"That suggests 33% of iPhones in a given quarter through 2015 are 'in the bag,'" he said. "We believe this is conservative given it expects an average iPhone life of 24 months."
Piper Jaffray's surveys found that 30 percent of iPhone 4S buyers at launch were upgrading from an iPhone 4, which suggests the upgrade window for those users is closer to 21 months.
"If we assume an average iPhone life of 21 months, and 85% of users upgrade to a new iPhone, that implies 45% of iPhones through 2015 are 'in the bag,'" he wrote.
For the March quarter, Munster sees Apple selling 33 million iPhones, which is a 10 percent increase from his previous prediction of 30 million. He expects the iPhone will have an average selling price of $630.
"We believe demand remains strong for the iPhone 4S based on global store checks and momentum from the 3rd-gen iPad launch," he said. His estimates are slightly ahead of Wall Street's expectations of 30 million iPhones for the March quarter.
Munster's discussion of a $1,000-per-share value of Apple came just a day after analyst Brian White with Topkea Capital Markets said he expects shares of AAPL to reach $1,001. He sees the price being driven largely by the $100 billion opportunity in the television market, which Apple is widely expected to enter in the next year.
Also this week, Mark Moskowitz with J.P. Morgan increased his December 2012 price target to $715, up from his previous prediction of $625. He sees Apple selling 31.1 million iPhones and 13.8 million iPads in the March quarter.
Apple is scheduled to reveal its earnings for the March 2012 quarter on April 24 after markets close. A conference call with analysts will occur at 2 p.m. Pacific, 5 p.m. Eastern.

- Piper Jaffray ups Apple price target to $120 with high hopes for iOS 8 home & health features

Transport — personal and public
'Green' Europe flattened by car lobby 13.02.07
The European Commission has once again put the interests of the car industry in front of its commitment to reducing CO2 emissions. In 1998 the car industry promised new cars would average 140 grams of carbon emissions per kilometre, they have failed to make good their word.
The European Commission, which has been pushing since 1996 for a target of 120 grams per kilometre, has agreed to give the car industry until 2012 to get the average emissions of new cars down to 130 grams. This compromise is way below what EU environment commissioner Stavros Dimas has been pushing for and represents a clear political decision by the college of Commissioners to give the car industry, if not the rest of us, some more breathing space. In reality the car industry have lagged seriously behind there own voluntary targets, at the moment the average is 160 grams/per klic a massive drop of exactly two grams from 2004. In the United Kingdom according to a study done last year the average is 167 grams.
Transport in general is one area that Europe is seriously running backwards on, between 1990 and 2004 CO2 emissions from transport rose 32% which sort of messes up Europe's commitment to the Kyoto agreement to cut overall CO2 emissions by 8% from the 1990 level. In 1990 transport represented 12% of Europe's total emissions in 2004 it had climbed to 28%. To be fair to the car industry the rise in air travel within the European Union has made a major impact but Transport and the Environment estimate that "light duty vehicles"- cars and vans to the rest of us, make up approximately 50% of these emissions. Even the car industry agree that their products are responsible for around 11% of the total CO2 emissions in Europe, the Commission estimate 12%.
The car industry in the form of ACEA has fielded a host of reasons why the Commission's approach is wrong, focusing on technological solutions to what is a societal problem- that is the problem is car use not cars. The usual batch of threats and predictions of economic collapse in Europe that is the standard fare of big industry lobbyists, remember how Kyoto was the end of industry, the end of duty free meant the end of affordable travel in Europe et al. The car lobby's parting shot is that classic double whammy, cars will go up in price-£2,650 each apparently, and hundreds of thousands of jobs will be lost as the industry moves out of Europe.
The European car industry itself is not united however, of the 20 car brands in Europe three are already on track to hit 140 grams, Fiat, Renault and Citroen, Fiat indeed is already at 140 grams, Ford and Peugeot are almost there. However the bottom 10 performers are from bad to really bad- Honda, Mercedes Benz, Hyundia, VW, BMW. Volvo, Audi, Mazda, Suzuki and the wooden spoon goes to Nissan.
It is clear that manufacturers who have their main revenue in the small to medium car size market are seeking marketing advantage by addressing both consumer and regulatory concerns on emissions- leaving the "luxury" (Read big and expensive) car and urban 4x4 market to complain about "war" being waged on them by their own industry.
The European Commission's announcement that it is seeking a 20% cut in GHG (Green House Gases) emissions by 2020, to even reach the Kyoto 8% they are going to have to tighten up their focus on the transport sector, as Aat Peterse of Transport and the Environment says, "Now they have failed to do the job they agreed to do, it makes no sense to let them off the hook." Now is the time to congratulate the brands that have struggled to meet the targets and to penalize those that have failed to make the effort.
It is now up to the Commission to turn this proposal into draft legislation, then it has to go through both the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers- it will be interesting to see what is finally spat out the end sometime in 2009- maybe.

The daily death toll from drunk driving crashes during the holiday season is significantly higher than the rest of the year, with alcohol being blamed for more than a third of all fatal collisions.
While the number of drunk drivers getting behind the wheel is way too high, the good news is there has been a steady decline in this number over the past 10 years. Through education and following certain safety steps, we can save even more lives.
If you drink, don't drive, no matter how little you've had. Don't let friends drink and drive. Before drinking, designate a sober driver in your group. If out drinking, get a ride home or call a taxi.
Click here for companies offering free taxi rides home this holiday season
And of course, buckle up every time, no matter how short the trip. The holidays should be a time for celebration, not tragedy. Please help us make our roadways safe by never driving after drinking.

Jerry Hudson High School Tournament
General Information including the invitation, schedule, and fees are available on the links below. Registration is now available on forensictournament.net
2 notes: 1. There was an error in the way Senior Extemp was announced at the awards assembly. The error was not due to the software, but to a human error of data entry. The way Senior Extemp is reported here is correct. 2. For some reason, the finals of Senior Parliamentary debate is not reported here. I'll try to fix that tomorrow

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
Begin as for "East Slab", but crank right around the slot behind a large flake 20ft. off the ground (5.6). "East Slab East" then follows the first crack ~6 ft. to the right of the "East Slab" crack. This crack disappears ~4ft. lower than the "East Slab" crack. Try to stay on route by climbing directly above where the crack disappears (kind of runout) until you reach other pocket/cracks and the roof. Pull up the roof on jugs in a groove about 20ft. down and right of the apex exit on "East Slab".
Standard rack.

Vaclav & Lena: An Open Letter From the Author
What a lovely phrase that is. "Dear Readers." I've been a reader for my entire life. I remember the first of many nights I stayed awake to finish a book. It was the fall I turned eight years old—it was Roald Dahl's Matilda—a book about a little girl so powerful she can move objects in space with her mind. (No wonder I loved it.) I decided, at about the same time, that I wanted to be a writer when I grew up. The years between then and now have been wild, and hard, and full of unexpected . . . life. Sometimes it's hard to remember the world as you saw it when you were eight years old. Sometimes it's hard to remember the world as you saw it yesterday. This is not one of those times. Right now, sitting at my desk, writing to you, I am terrifically aware of the little girl who one day long ago decided to tell stories—and I am thanking my lucky stars, and all the mischievous forces at play in the universe, that I am sitting here, writing to you, dear reader.
Being a writer is lonely—lonely and scary. There are moments of spark, moments of light, to be sure, but they are followed by extraordinary self-doubt and fear. When I began writing about Vaclav and Lena, children of immigrants, making their way in a strange land, dreaming their wild dream of becoming the world's greatest magicians, I was trying to summon in myself the confidence to sit each day and work toward my own dream—which seemed to be such a long shot.
Vaclav and Lena have a seemingly impossible ambition—and yet they are determined to work toward it, every day, at any cost. Vaclav's mother brings him to Brooklyn from Russia so that he can live the American dream, and his dream is to be a great magician—just like Houdini. Lena, of course, will be his lovely assistant. But life always interrupts our plans—mine certainly has. Vaclav and Lena are no exception. They find that nothing is as it seems, that life is wild, difficult and beautiful, and that the real juicy bits of life can be found at the intersection of love and truth, story and magic.
We all live and hope and dream and lose and sometimes win. I think the key is to look up every once in a while—look around and marvel at the moment. Writing to you is one of the magical moments in my life—one of the things I get to do that is filled with sheer joy. Life is nothing if we live it alone; it needs air and light and a little company. A story is nothing without readers—without you. For me, to have a moment to thank you for giving me the opportunity to share Vaclav and Lena, a moment to invite you into their world, a moment of spark and light before I roll up my sleeves and get down to work—it's just, well, it's just what I live for.
Thank you, dear reader.

DVDs:Animals and Nature:Animals and Wildlife:Secret Yellowstone DVD
As seen on the National Geographic Channel.
Yellowstone is America's first and foremost National Park and its majestic beauty inspires more than 3 million visitors each year. National Geographic goes beyond the tourist hotspots and travels deep inside the 2 million acre national park to reveal the backcountry wilderness few have seen. Explore some of the 300 newly discovered waterfalls and learn how wolves, back after five decades of absence from Yellowstone, are helping restore the balance in the ecosystem alongside the grizzly bear and bison. Finally, discover how the geology of Yellowstone with its giant well of molten lava underneath the surface is sometimes more dangerous than the wildlife. So serene and yet so dangerous: this powerful drama comes alive through satellite imagery and CGI animation.
Special Features: Yellowstone National Park Explorer 3D Interactive and Printable Map.

Rated 3.1 out of 5�by 51 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5�by Michelle Ok, but..... The gloves are ok, but... they rip easily. After my first class the gloves began to rip at the seam. Now coming back from my most recent class the padding is ripped out, I need a new pair. August 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Whitedevil Worth it Way better than wrapping everytime. Just use them under 16 oz. gloves for heavy bag work, and I love them. July 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Wngdweeler We'll worth it I use mine for Krav Maga training, primarily to save my knuckles on the heavy bags. They are comfortable enough to wear throughout the workout.They fit well enough to wear focus mitts without having to waste time taking them off. Great purchase June 24, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by pete5ankeny Great product I enjoy these gloves as they allow me to do other exercises like pushups without having to take them off. June 17, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by J276 only lasted three punches I loved the look and feel of these gloves, however, after throwing 3 not so hard punches, the right hand split open on the inside, allowing all the beads to fall out. I then stepped on them with bare feet for the remainder of my class... June 6, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by Mf Don't buy Ripped after less than a month of use. I would not recommend buying these gloves. May 13, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5�by Jtmoney Cant take a punch I bought these and after just 2 weeks they began to rip around the knuckles. Im going to have to return them as soon as i get a chance April 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Celticfisherman Fun and light! I'm new to boxing and got these gloves when my personal trainer wanted to add in a boxing session each week to my workouts. These are great for training and sparring. Light weight comfortable. The stay on and don't slip. If your workouts include boxing, heavy ropes, and other exercises this saves a lot of time and keeps you moving vs bigger gloves. April 1, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by rawl no good I don't know if these gloves are made for the heavy bag but they are tearing apart please let me know what gloves are right for the heavy bag. March 4, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5�by Medina Not for me To start out the seams from the front of the glove that hold the gel part ripped, they're uncomfortable at the wrist. Also I had to trim the Velcro edges because they would press up against my wrist February 11, 2014

North Dakota State head men's track & field and cross country coach Don Larson announced Wednesday, Feb. 5, that seven student-athletes have signed National Letters of Intent to continue their education at NDSU and compete for the Bison.

Kristen....."W-hhhhy, W-hhhhhy, W-hhhhhhhy? That big wig is "BUSTED" and it makes you look like you have gained ten pounds in the face. Have you seen yourself???!! You don't look like bella at all. Ugh!! It is going to be unbearable to watch you in this movie. I might walk out and ask for a refund.

the wig is gross, and it's very distracting from her otherwise very pretty face.

Kristen is very very beautiful, no matter what she wear wig. True, that what I notice Kristen look way different than mullet look. She look so happy and shine face. I like that very much. She look happy that make me happy. By the way she is not that fat, she is still thin, not too skinny.. She is just right shape. Soo..

I agree ---that wig does NOT Look good---however Kristen has the most beautiful skin so the wig doesnt' really matter.

wow!some posters are really funny.is a wig a basis of a good or bad movie?i don't think summit is stupid to put on a bad wig on kristen..of course they have consulted a professional about it.some are over reacting as if they really know what is best.we just have to wait for the movie until finally judging it.kristen is so beautiful,she looks a little bit maturer compared to her looks in twilight.of course!

Try again - If this is going to be what Bella looks like in Eclispe - Stay home and don't waste your money at the box office.

Cannot believe this is the best wig Summit could find! It looks so solid around Kristen's face, almost like a helmet! Kstew has such a beautiful face she can wear almost any hairdo and look good - but this wig doesn't look like real hair, much less HER hair! Very disappointing.

yeah i agree with what you're saying about the wig. it does look really unnatural and i don't know she just looks different :/

shes glowing, she looks really happy :) probably due to having rob locked up in your hotel suite. Who wouldnt be smiling.

She looks different? is it Jacob's wig or the make-up that makes her look uhmmm different?.... Don't know but she dosen't look like our Kristen/Bella.

I don't think the wig is that bad- I think we are just use to seeing her over the last few months with the mullet. I think the make up doesn't look as good. I take it they aren't going to be having their talk while walking on the beach.

Yes! she looks a little less skinny....but the wig... WTF it ruins everything, I thought that this movie had a big budget... ypu would think that something so important as bella´s look would come first, but that wig is just plain cheapness and laysiness
fleurfairy 4 years
Wow, that wig is hideous. Very unnatural looking. They couldn't have tried to lighten the black hair and then give her extensions?

It looks like they rehabbed Jacob's awful wig from the first movie.
