ABC's Crystal Ball for 2011: Obama Is the 'Comeback Kid'
ABCNews.com on Monday featured various journalists peering into their 2011 crystal balls. Correspondent Linsey Davis noted higher retail sails and trumpeted, "So, with this economic rebound, my prediction is that there will be increased chatter about President Obama as the comeback kid."
ABC is hardly the first network to repeat this liberal wish. On the December 20 Early Show, political analyst John Dickerson mentioned the just-passed tax compromise and touted, "They are calling President Obama the comeback kid."
On another topic, correspondent Ron Claiborne asserted that African Americans believe "...The President has tended to shy away from identifying himself as the black president and has not done enough for African Americans, not just specifically for African Americans, but on the jobs front, which of course, hits African Americans and Latinos a lot harder than it does white Americans."
Claiborne suggested Obama would make increased overtures to African Americans.
Reporter Dan Harris claimed the popularity of mega churches would decline in 2011: "So, we're starting to see a movement that's been loosely dubbed 'churchless congregations.'" He explained, "These are Christians who meet in basements of people's houses, in public parks, sometimes even in bars and they feel that they are hewing closer to the vision of the early Christians than those big mega churches do."
Perhaps surprisingly, former Democratic operative turned journalist George Stephanopoulos predicted, "I think John Edwards is going to get indicted for everything involved with that scandal over Rielle Hunter."
A partial transcript of some of the predictions can be found below:
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: I think John Edwards is going to get indicted for everything involved with that scandal over Rielle Hunter.
LINSEY DAVIS: All right. So, the world according to Lindsey Davis. We had retail sales beat expectations. The stock market analysts are talking about GDP exceeding three percent in 2011. So, with this economic rebound, my prediction is that there will be increased chatter about President Obama as the comeback kid.
DAN HARRIS: Hi, I'm Dan Harris. One of the things I cover here at ABC News is faith in America. So, here's my prediction for the coming year: I think you're going to see an increasing rebellion among American Christians against those big, slick mega churches. There are many Christians out there who are starting to feel that these mega churches are too impersonal, too much like Starbucks than they are like pure houses of worship. So, we're starting to see a movement that's been loosely dubbed "churchless congregations." These are Christians who meet in basements of people's houses, in public parks, sometimes even in bars and they feel that they are hewing closer to the vision of the early Christians than those big mega churches do. So, that's my prediction for 2011.
RON CLAIBORNE: My prediction for 2011: Look for President Obama to make increasing overtures to African American voters. Now, of course, if you look at polls, the President has support of more than 90 percent of African Americans. But there is, I believe, a quiet conversation going on among black Americans that the President has tended to shy away from identifying himself as the black president and has not done enough for African Americans, not just specifically for African Americans, but on the jobs front, which of course, hits African Americans and Latinos a lot harder than it does white Americans. So, my prediction for 2011 is that with an eye towards 2012 and this key constituency that the President will need to turn out in big numbers for him to be reelected, look for the President to reach out more to African Americans more in the coming year.
JOHN BERMAN: For anyone covering Sarah Palin, and I am. See, that's her book right there, the big question about 2011 is 2012. As in, is she going to be running for President? Well, like every other reporter in America, what am I doing to find out? I'm following her Twitter page right here

...which of course, hits African Americans and Latinos a lot harder than it does white Americans.
Of course? If I didn't know better, I'd say the author of that statement believes that blacks and hispanics are somehow less capable in the job market than whites. Or, that employers -when making payroll cuts- seek out blacks and hispanics first, or solely. Is that what he's suggesting?

What does Obama have to "come back" from? Didn't the MSM, ABC included, just spend the last month telling us what a productive, effective, and universally respected and admirable President Obama has been in just the last two years alone?

Let's assume, for the sake of argument, that he is "coming back" from screwing up the economy.
Exactly what has he done in the past couple of months that could be credited for retail sales being up?
Did he invent Christmas? every year the pundits predict a bleak Christmas shopping season, and every year people go out and exceed their expectations. How many times does this have to happen for them to get the hint?
As for the stock, they are "predicting" a comeback in 2011; it hasn't happened yet.

Yeah, He's going to the little boy that had to ' Come Back ' to reality big time when the bipartisan houses of Congress, led by Republicans, joined by democrats with a conscience and any democrat weasels not ready to retire in 2012 hand him his ass on everything from ObamaCare to his end runs around them ( Congress ) with Net Neutrality, etc.
Make no mistake, this president is on a mission for ' reparations ' and will not end his radical agenda to forcibly overthrow the current form of government enjoyed by the citizens of the United States of America for over 200 years. He began his campaign under the unassuming guise of , ' fundamental transformation '.
Anyone who takes the time to study this con man's radical manifesto, from his early years of indoctrination by communist mother and grand parents to his latter year choice to only associate with fellow radicals would see what is in his heart & mind. I assure you, it's not what is best for the United States of America......not by a long shot.
To him, America's form of democracy & way of life is the enemy and an evil scourge on the world......that he grew up in.
Then he, in his own written & spoken ( recorded ) words explains how he sought out those with a like minded ( radical, communist, socialist, non American, minority ) philosophy in every aspect of his personal, educational and professional life once he arrived in mainland America.
How this foreigner ( regardless of his actual place of birth ) came to power in America, the greatest country & democracy on earth proves just how broken and dysfunctional this country has become.

Submitted by CobraMan on Mon, 01/03/2011 - 7:09pm.
What "economic rebound" are they referring to, anyways? The expected increase of Christmas "season" sales and the corresponding rise of stock purchases due to those expected increases in retail sales and retail profits?? Yea, like you'll see the same sales and stock market "increases" over the next 11 months!
As happens every year, the retail sales figures for the next quarter will, "unexpectedly," drop considerably, following a "unexpected" drop in the Stock Market as people sell their stocks at profit before the next quarterly report is due and the value of those stocks decrease substantially. But, shhhh, don't tell the "experts" as I love it when they are "surprised" at what happened every single year. It's what makes them the "experts," I guess.

Let's see now, the Chevy Volt
Submitted by Beukeboom on Tue, 01/04/2011 - 11:10am.
Let's see now, the Chevy Volt will sell for $41000 before a federal tax credit of $7500, while the Nissan Leaf will go for $32780 before the credit. The Volt can travel only 25 to 50 miles on electric power before relying on gas while other electric cars such as the Leaf have a range of about 100 miles. A J.D. Power and Associates report states the higher cost of electric vehicles, their limited range and the lack of a public recharging infrastructure will hold electric and hybrid vehicle sales to only 7.4 percent globally.
I don't see such vehicles having much of an impact in the U.S. just yet (if ever). I think the odds are somewhat high that this may end up being a passing fancy. But if gas prices go as high as many predict for 2011 ($4 - $5 per gallon), U.S. sales may go higher for the Volt and Leaf although by not much due to their over-expensive price tags. More likely sales of smaller, more fuel efficient & less expensive foreign cars would increase dramatically if fuel prices skyrocket in 2011.

The Mega Church predictions
Submitted by Dan The Man 2 on Tue, 01/04/2011 - 12:45am.
The Mega Church predictions will not come true as the people who go to those type of churches do so because it is big. Some like it because they can get lost in the crowd, some want it because they fell bigger is better and there are plenty of other reasons. However, the house church has been around since well, the beginning of time.
House churches are very intimate settings and popular in countries hostile to Christians. They are secretive and close knit and can be held in someones house.
What the article misses is its not the building or the size of the congregation but the personal relationship between God and you. Personally I like smaller gatherings.

"I am working on it," Tune said during a recent interview with Playbill.com at the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center. "It's going to need a lot of work. I have to get people together that do things that I don't know how to do - get the right team together to figure it out. There's a lot of work to be done. We're in the beginning stages."
When asked if Broadway was the goal, Tune replied, "It is in the contemplation stage right now, but I would love for it to happen."
Featuring music and lyrics by Irving Berlin and based on the 1935 RKO film, the screenplay by Dwight Taylor and Allan Scott was adapted for the stage by Matthew White and Howard Jacques. Under the direction of adaptor White and choreographer Bill Deamer, Top Hat won Olivier Awards for Best New Musical, Best Choreography and Best Costume Design.
Top Hat toured the U.K. in 2011-12 prior to a West End arrival at the Aldwych Theatre in May 2012. It will end its London run in October, with an eye toward a new tour launch in 2014-15.
A nine-time Tony Award winner, director-choreographer-actor Tune has helped create such Broadway shows as Nine, My One & Only, A Day in Hollywood/A Night in the Ukraine, The Will Rogers Follies and Grand Hotel. He helmed Off-Broadway's The Club and Cloud Nine, and he spent two years starring in the Las Vegas production of the spectacular EFX at the MGM Grand Hotel. Tune was seen in the 2006 national tour of Dr. Dolittle, and helmed the musical The Turn of the Century at the Goodman Theatre in fall 2008. He is also at work on a new musical about 1970s disco Studio 54.

REDONDO BEACH, Calif., June 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- A pioneer in the design and fabrication of advanced semiconductors, Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) has introduced two new high power gallium nitride (GaN) monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) power amplifiers for Ka-band satellite communication terminals and point-to-point digital communication links.
The APN228 and APN229 power amplifiers were developed with the company's proprietary GaN high-electron mobility transistor (HEMT) power process and provide unmatched saturated output power of 13 and 8 watts, respectively. These second-generation power amplifiers offer the highest power density of any existing Ka-band GaN product on the market.
The broadband, two-stage amplifiers operate from 27 to 31 GHz, and, when integrated in high efficiency solid-state power amplifiers (SSPAs), allow for higher data rate in communication systems.
"GaN-based SSPAs are a far more desirable solution to costly traveling-wave tubes which require more complex, higher voltage power supplies and a lengthier production time," said Frank Kropschot, general manager, Microelectronics Products and Services, Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems.
"APN228 and APN229 will allow our customers to reduce the cost and complexity of power-combining, and offer a significant cost advantage compared to the current generation of Ka-band products," he added.
Product descriptions:
Samples of these MMIC power amplifiers will be available by mid-July, and packaged versions will be available for sampling later this year. Information and data sheets on the Ka-band and other GaN power amplifiers are available online at: www.northropgrumman.com/mps
Northrop Grumman manufactures the power amplifiers at its state-of-the-art microelectronics wafer fabrication facility in Manhattan Beach. A Department of Defense Trusted Foundry, the facility uses advanced gallium nitride, gallium arsenide and indium phosphide semiconductor manufacturing processes.
Northrop Grumman is a leading global security company providing innovative systems, products and solutions in unmanned systems, cyber, C4ISR, and logistics and modernization to government and commercial customers worldwide. Please visit www.northropgrumman.com for more information.

From pain management, to easing anxieties and treating allergies, many patients attest to the benefits of acupuncture as a complementary alternative to traditional medicine.
But costs for the treatment can add up. Even for those whose insurance covers acupuncture, the number of visits recommended by a doctor or acupuncturist may run out, leaving patients paying out of pocket, or quitting treatments early.
That's where the concept of "community acupuncture" comes in, making visits more affordable -- around the same amount as a co-pay.
Rather than small, private treatment rooms, like the ones you will find in a private place or doctors office, you have one large treatment room where the beds are separated by screens. Typically, one or two acupuncturists are constantly rotating between the tables.
Before receiving any holistic treatment, do research and discuss it with a doctor.

A structure in Dubuque County caught fire Tuesday evening, but it was with the fire department's blessing.
To raise awareness about the benefits of home sprinkler systems, the city of Dubuque set two nearly identical model rooms on fire.
The one without a sprinkler system went up in major flames in a matter of three minutes. In the other room, the sprinkler system kicked in after about 25 seconds and held the flames at bay.
Jeff Zasada is a building inspector for Dubuque's Building Services Department and led the demonstration. He was also on the Dubuque Fire Department for 18 years.
"I've seen the devastation for loss of family members and also the loss of personal belongings due to fires," Zasada said. "Personally, I'd like to see sprinklers in every home that's built."
He said a family can have a sprinkler system installed in their home for same cost as granite countertops. A recent study he cited estimates a sprinkler system at $1.35 per square foot of a home. A family in a 2,000 square foot home, therefore, would pay some $2,700. Zasada said it's a worthwhile cost to save lives and property damage in the event of a fire, which - as demonstrated Tuesday - spreads very quickly and dangerously.

The Auburn Tigers and their fans can feel it. They call this a season of destiny.
Today, the team took the first step toward what it believes will be the crowning moment, a national football championship.
Nearly a thousand fans gathered at the Montgomery Regional Airport to send the team off to Pasadena with a "Reverse Tiger Walk."
They came from all across the state to cheer on their Auburn Tigers. Rebecca Cockrell could hardly contain her excitement. "I'm so super excited! I can't wait for them to get here and I can't wait for them to get there and win!"As the busses rolled onto the tarmac and the players boarded the plane, Jason Reeves made this reflection. "It's unprecedented for a shot at five straight national championships for the state of Alabama. And we're going to bring it home baby!"Head coach, Gus Malzahn went over to acknowledge the Tiger faithful, as he prepares to coach the biggest game of his career. "We have the best fans in college football, no doubt," said Malzahn.

When it was time, finally time, to end our conversation, Robin asked me, "Is there anything I can do for you?" He had that sound in his voice. You know it when you hear it. I'm sure he appreciated how delicate was the fiber upon which my life balanced, how badly the odds were lined up against me.
Miss Bacall spoke to us recently about her amazing life. Renowned for never mincing words, she didn't disappoint!
Just as the Beatles (especially John) found a kindred spirit in singer-songwriter Harry Nilsson -- so did the Python members find a joyous soulmate in Robin Williams. It was love at first laugh. And it was a fully-consummated mutual admiration.
It's surreal because I haven't seen Robin for many years, yet he's so connected to me due to his close involvement in the biggest role of my career in Hook where he played Peter Pan and I played the punk kid who took over as leader of the Lost Boys when he left Neverland... Rufio.
He loved us all so much, and wanted so much for us to be entertained. He was put on this planet to make us laugh, and to make us not just enjoy his talent but to feel it. We saw his talent, we felt his heart.

Packaging of official financial aid awards for the 2014-2015 academic year is set to begin mid-June. Students with completed applications will receive e-mail notices when their Official Financial Aid Award has been packaged, with most being available by the end of June.
The Official Financial Aid Award Notice lists the Academic Year Institutional Budget (also known as Cost of Attendance) and the Expected Parent and Student Contributions (together comprising Expected Family Contribution, or EFC) as determined by the information provided on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The Academic Year Initial Need is calculated as the difference between the total budgeted cost and expected contributions. Students will see a combination of financial aid types awarded, depending on the calculated need, that in total will meet the Cost of Attendance.
As a reminder, Cost of Attendance reflects the average cost for a variety of student educational expenses that are not all directly billed by the University. Students may not need to accept all of the financial aid offered on the Official Award Notice if they have other resources available or have lower than average costs.
A Sample Award Notice has been designed to provide more information regarding items that may be reported on an Official Award.
To view his/her Official Financial Aid Award, the student is directed to log in to Minnesota State Mankato's Financial Aid site. The Award Notice will also contain a link to proceed to the Student Response process to complete the steps necessary to accept or decline the various award types. A Financial Aid Award Checklist is also provided for additional guidance.
Students who wish to check the status of their financial aid application may also log in at https://secure.mnsu.edu/FinancialAid and/or contact the Campus Hub for more information.
Students planning to attend Minnesota State University, Mankato during the 2014-2015 school year are encouraged to submit their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as early as possible to determine eligibility and allow sufficient time for required award acceptance processes. Work-study and certain other federal scholarships and grants are limited; students who qualify for need-based aid and apply by March 15 ensure greater access to these resources before the available funds are depleted.

It's this promise that has the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC) interested. In collaboration with the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee and NeuroHabilitation Corporation, the Army hopes to harness this emerging technology to "restore lost physical and mental function" for both service members and civilians suffering from traumatic brain injury, stroke Parkinson's and multiple sclerosis.

Asana Column: Virabhadrasana II (Warrior Pose II)
The third choice, balanced between these two extremes, is to yield to gravity. When we yield our body weight�when we trust the Earth to support us�an upward rebounding action effortlessly lifts us away from the Earth. Our muscles come into a balanced tone, neither too gripped nor too released, and our breath centers itself in the middle of the body. Gravity becomes our friend, not our foe, and we feel in harmony with ourselves. We make the necessary effort, provide the necessary work to maintain the body's integrity, and then we let something beyond what we know and control happen to us. We trust that life will support us.
Tadasana: Exploring Your Relationship with Gravity
Take a moment to feel these three relationships to the ground. Stand with your feet hip-width apart in Tadasana, and allow your body to collapse downward in a posture of submission or dejection. This stance is how many of us started our yoga practice. Notice your breathing in this state of collapse. Can you fill your lungs, or do they feel hemmed in and compressed?
Once you're familiar with this state of collapse, shift to the state of propping. Engage what I call the push and push pattern: Push down hard through your feet, and keep on pushing. Gather all your muscles, and drive your spine and head upward. Now notice how your breathing has changed. Has it become shallow and moved high up into your chest?
Next, let's explore the possibility of neither giving up nor struggling, but of gracefully yielding. Instead of pushing the Earth away, slowly release the hardness in your abdomen and allow the weight of your lower body to pour down into the Earth. Imagine your weight streaming down through your legs like sand in an hourglass. As you give your weight to the ground, the soles of your feet will immediately soften and broaden, and your breathing will spontaneously deepen and relax.
Once you truly give your weight to the Earth, something magical happens. As you yield to gravity, the release rebounds upward in an effortless flow that moves into your torso, lengthening your spine and head toward the sky.
If you don't feel this rebounding flow of force, you may be yielding too much and returning to a state of collapse. Try starting again from a strongly propped position and then slowly allow yourself to release your weight into the Earth. Gauge the level of muscle tone you must use to maintain the integrity of your skeletal structure and prevent your bones from collapsing into the spaces of the joints. In active yielding your body becomes a clear conduit for both downward and upward moving forces.
Give half of yourself to the Earth and the other half to the sky. Experiment with shifting your torso forward and back until you find the place where your belly, chest, and head best catch this rebounding flow of force.
Keep shifting between the three relationships with gravity�collapse, prop, and yield�until you can easily identify them. Spend some time familiarizing yourself with how each relationship feels�not only the physical sensations, but also the emotions each relationship evokes.

As we posted this morning, UFC president Dana White to treat Meniere's Disease. White has been suffering from the illness since 2011. Dana described the attacks caused by the disease as "pain like you can't imagine". The surgery required the complete removal and reattachment of White's left ear in order to insert a tube that allows fluid to drain properly. The outpatient procedure does not guarantee that White will not suffer attacks in the future.
Shortly after the surgery completed, White let fans know via Twitter that he was now headed to recovery:
It's over!!! In recovery now :) thanks all the supportyfrog.us/nb4yeghqwtstnc…— Dana White (@danawhite) January 16, 2013
Along with the tweet Dana included a video of himself with his doctor:
Dana: It's over. They did it. Dr. Tooth did a fantastic job.
Doctor: This ear's an inch lower than the other, but otherwise it's a success.
Dana: Who cares? I was ugly anyway.
Obviously nothing is set yet, but it is possible for White to make the flight to Brazil for this weekend's UFC On FX 7 event.

CALDWELL, W. Va (WVVA)-- A new rule that will soon take effect will require intra-state cattle to be marked with US tags on their ears.
The tags are available for beef producers to purchase, and can be either electronic or metal.
Animal Health Technician Jason Garrett works for the West Virginia Department of Education. He said this rule is all about protecting the industry, as well as consumers.
"Beef prices will go up if [if there's an outbreak] and no one will even want to buy it because there will be such a scare," said Garrett. "And we wouldn't be able to ship any of our meats or anything overseas, it
would just put a hold on everything."
Garrett said if that happens, the industry could take a big hit.
"If there was an outbreak, it would
just cripple the agriculture industry. And the sooner we can address the
problem, the sooner [the producers] can get back to business."
Once registered with the new tags, the cow will be added to a database.
From there, the Department of Agriculture can track the spread of a disease from when the infected cow is sold to where it ends up, and hopefully nip that process in the bud.
The rule is nation-wide but it's up to individual states to decide
exemptions to it, said Garrett. West Virginia's department of agriculture will start enforcing theirs on March 11th.

Pizza Port
Carlsbad, CA
A shockingly electric pink pour with a big foaming light pink head that settles to about a half inch in height. As it was Pizza Port's intention to create a pink IPA in support of breast cancer awareness and research, they certainly succeeded with flying colors. I was floored at how perfectly pink this beer turned out. Bravo!
Typical hoppy Pizza Port nose. A lot of pungent grapefruit and orange with little malt character.
This is a simple and hop-forward IPA. Bitter hops, citrus fruit, and a touch of sweet mango towards the end.
A rich and sticky mouthfeel. Alcohol seems almost nonexistent which is shocking as this beer is over 8% in ABV.
A simple, hop-forward DIPA from just down the road. Knowing proceeds from this beer are going toward breast cancer research, it is my pleasure to drink this until it runs dry.

PizzaPort Carlsbad
Beer for Boobies YEAAAAHHH!!!!
A: Pours a Red Dye Number 5. It's a fuzzy pink IPA. Clear and effervescent. Whimsical like a raspberry soda pop. Soft pastel pink rim of head and just drapery of lacing here.
S: Smells like another gapefruit bomb! Just danky and herbal with a citrus twist. Orange and some pine. Very subtle pale malt.
T: Tastes super juicy with hops and quite hempy. Lots of herbals going on here. Slightly sweet with malt nonexistent. Pine and citrus. No ABV present. Almost wet hop like. Slight sugary trail of breadcrumbs but this one is just super hoppy.
M: Very light in body. Creamy with a sticky sleek mouthcoat and nice dry crispy finish.
D: Quite sessionable. A light refreshing IPA that is all about my two favorite things. Hops and Boobies.
I drink for the cure!

On-tap at Pizza Port Carlsbad
A: This definitely is pink...a clear dark pink color with a finger of head that is lightly pink as well.
S: A nice big citrus nose on this one. Lots of grapefruit, tangerine, and orange zest. Plenty of pine and a mild tropical fruit aroma to it as well. I don't really get much, if any, malt aroma to this.
T: The full citrus character carries to the palate. A nice grapefruit bite to the beer as well as plenty of orange. Pine hops provide bitterness and there is a really resinous quality to it. Just a touch of bread/malt flavor.
M: The body is medium with a moderate to high level of carbonation.
D: I was really impressed by this. A much better fit for Pizza Port than the "Brewbies Pink Ale" they did previously.

At Pizza Port Carlsbad
The beer pours an orange, pink color with a pink frothy head. The foam dissipates leaving a thin white coaster and excellent lacing. The aroma is signature Pizza Port IPA. Hemp and citrus forward with a biscuity malt backbone. Taste is bitter hops. Hemp, orange,and grapefruit are showcased. The finish is dry and bitter. The beer is medium bodied with an appropriate level of carbonation making it very drinkable. Another excellent IPA from Pizza Port. I love this place!

On tap at Pizza Port Carlsbad. Snifter.
A: Reddish pink with a big frothy pink head, great retention, and nice lacing. Pretty cool looking beer.
S: Signature Pizza Port Carlsbad aroma. Heavily resinous with grapefruit flesh and rind with some orange. Malt is faint and crackery. No evident alcohol.
T: Upper moderate bitterness and very dry, with prominent grapefruit, orange, and a touch of peach. Lots of pine resin. Sweetness is ephemeral midpalate, extant for only a split second. Malt is almost nonexistent. Alcohol is well hidden.
M: Upper light body with upper moderate carbonation. Mouthfeel is crisp, sticky, and dry, with a slight astringency.
Overall: Another nice Double IPA from Port Carlsbad. I would like to drink glass after glass of this.
*edit* This really grew on me. Delicious stuff.

Chilled growler into a glass. From the ever-awesome Sideswipe. Thanks, John.
A: Pours a brilliantly clear ruby red with a frothy, slightly pink head that retains well and leaves good lace.
S: Mildly weed-like, but this is dominated by citrus (think tangerine, grapefruit, orange zest). A very light pale malt sweetness.
T: Citrus hop juice with a touch of weed and pine needles. But it's firmed up on the back end by a solid backbone of pale malt, which imparts some sweetness without overwhelming the hop profile. It's certainly the power of suggestion, but I feel like I can taste raspberry skins or something similarly tannic on the back end.
M: Medium-bodied. The beer finishes dry. It has ample carbonation to clean up the [mild] residual bitterness. No trace of the booze.
O: I'm reluctant to review beers I like, as it brings my average up. But due to requests from my trading partners, I will start to be a little more even-handed in the reviews I upload. This is one example of a great beer.

On-tap at FFF XV and poured into tasting glass.
A - Pours a really cool pinkish/red color, white frothy head, spotty lace, thin collar, wisps on top.
S - Grapefruit, citrus hoppy notes, slight biscuit. Pretty straight forward citrus hoppy notes, although I'm not complaining.
T - A little more complex. A nice level of hops, big on the citrus, nice malt profile, some grapefruit and sweetness on the finish.
M - Lighter side of medium, good carbonation, oily hop finish.
O - A solid IPA that's pretty cool-looking. Pizza Port always has the good stuff, this one is no different. Would def have again.
Shaker pint glass with a clear pink brew inside. Very cool and unique obviously. A bit of white head. The aromas were fresh and citrusy of lemon , lime, and grapefruit. Medium bodied. clean and lean flavors with tasty hop flavors and bitter pungency. The finish was on the drier side. Liked it alot !

Don't let the cold get in the way of fun
When the mercury drops and Grey takes the place of the once sun-filled afternoon sky, pull on the Pearl Izumi Select Long Sleeve Women's Jersey. To protect you from both cool fall air and mild winter temperatures, the Select jersey takes the edge off when it's around 50 to 70 degrees out. It's time to say goodbye to your life as a fair-weather cyclist.
Pearl's Select Transfer fabric makes the shivers from freezing wind gusts a thing of the past. This is due in part to its quick-drying abilities. When you're pushing your anaerobic threshold for a segment win, the material will be wicking and shedding moisture -- consider it the QOM of dryness. The Select material manages to do this while retaining precious body heat -- an important characteristic when early-season training rides are accompanied by chilly temps. But if you're taking on too much warmth, the 12in zipper lets you unzip enough to dump heat while riding up arduous climbs. A single zip pocket on the back secures your keys, patch kit, or ride nutrition. Reflective elements have placed throughout the jersey to give it 360 degrees of visibility in low-light conditions.
The Pearl Izumi Women's Select Long-Sleeve Full-Zip Jersey comes in the colors Black, True Red, Pink Punch, Orchid, Peacock, Safety Orange, and Lime. It is available in six sizes from X-Small to XX-Large.

Great price for useful jersey

- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I wear Pearl Izumi tops and know what size to get. I never had a long-sleeved jersey, so I'm thinking this will be useful. The price was great!

No. It is one of Pearl's answer to moisture management. Pearl's themo clothes will have the actual "Themo" in it's name...that will help you know right of the top.
*Gore makes some of the best winter bike-wear protection...suggest looking into that line: *Windstopper & GoreTex.
I hope this still helps with the up-coming winter season.

RICHMOND — A Sabattus man was injured June 30 during a private fireworks show for a birthday party, according to a release issued by Sgt. Ken Grimes in the Office of the Maine State Fire Marshal.
Jason Douglass, 34, of Ben's Hill Road received a large laceration to his forehead that took 17 stitches to close and a minor eye injury when a shell from a malfunctioning cake fired, striking Douglass in the head at a party on Lancaster Road in Richmond.
Douglass was setting off fireworks Saturday night on the front lawn of a relative's house, according to Grimes. He lit off a cake of fireworks, which has multiple tubes in the same package.
After the cake had fired, Douglass was dousing it with water when he noticed that three of the tubes didn't go off, said Grimes.
"One went off before he expected it and it hit him in the head, right above the right eye," Grimes said. "He had quite a large laceration to his forehead as well as a possible eye injury."
Grimes said it's the most significant injury because of fireworks he's seen in quite some time, he said.
"We've had smaller incidents, but I haven't seen an injury of this magnitude for the past several years," said Grimes.
The accident is the first to be reported by state officials following a recent law change that made consumer fireworks legal in Maine.
Douglass was taken to Mid Coast Hospital in Brunswick, where he was treated and released. He required 17 stitches above his right eye.
Grimes asked those using fireworks to use extra caution.
"Please follow the directions on the devices," said Grimes. "Be aware of your surroundings and have a safe Fourth of July."
Douglass' wife, Alison, said Monday that her husband was resting after the ordeal. A recent visit to an eye doctor confirmed the injury would not permanently affect his vison "other than missing eyelashes," she said.
"We're all still reeling from what could have happened," she said. "We're extremely grateful that he's going to be OK and make a full recovery."
Douglass had brought the fireworks to his brother-in-law's birthday party at the home of family friends. He was experienced with fireworks and had familiarized himself with the instructions, his wife said.
"He freely admits he made a bad decision," she said.
She said the main concern for her and her husband is that people who use fireworks take the time to learn how to use them. Even though her husband was familiar with fireworks and had not been drinking, accidents can still happen, she said, urging others to use them responsibly.
The proper technique for extinguishing fireworks that failed to discharge is to soak them in water from a distance and wait for a couple of days before handling, Grimes said. All instructions included in packaging should be followed.
