BLS fast facts: Composers
I work as a composer in the movie industry, creating music that supports a film's story. Other composers work on television shows, and some do both television and film. The composer uses music to tell the audience what kind of movie it is and to help convey what the actors are expressing. The music can vary, depending on the emotion in each scene. I study each project and decide where music will be most effective.
When I begin working on a project, I meet with the director to "spot" the picture. We go through every scene and decide the precise start and end times for each piece of music. Then I create a list of all the pieces of music that I'll need to write and begin to write the pieces, but not necessarily in order. For instance, I normally write the main titles, which are at the beginning of the picture, last. That's because the main titles are the one opportunity for the composer to make a musical statement that's unobstructed by dialogue and to set the tone of the picture.
While I'm writing the music, the director comes to the studio for "show and tells," where I play a digital mockup of the music with the picture. I do about 10 minutes of the picture at a time so the director can give me feedback about whether I'm going in the right direction with the music. All in all, it takes me about 6 to 8 weeks to score (compose the music for) a feature film.
When I do live recordings of music for a project, I write sheet music for each instrument, rent a studio, record the pieces, then edit and mix the tracks. I may also hire a music contractor, who finds musicians based on the number and type of instruments needed. The contractor also manages the recording session.
After the music is recorded, I send it to the production company along with a list of the precise locations where the music needs to be put into the picture. The quality of music is always best when it's recorded live. But sometimes, for financial reasons, we decide to record the music digitally instead. If this is the case, I prepare and digitally mix the tracks myself.
If I'm not working on a project, I try to sit down and compose something every day, even if it's something small. Creativity is a muscle that needs to be exercised. It helps when I actually have a gig so that I don't panic staring at a blank page.
Networking and making cold calls are also something I do on a daily basis. I look in trade magazines for projects for which I'm a good fit, and I contact the director or producer. I've gotten some good jobs this way and met many people, some of whom have become good friends and have referred me to others. I can't overstate the importance of developing a professional contact list.
I've played the piano since I was a kid, and I have an undergraduate degree in music. I also have a master's degree in classical piano performance and a postgraduate certificate in scoring for music and television.
I worked as a professional pianist for a year or so. It wasn't quite what I had imagined it would be when I had dreamed of being a musician. The work was incredibly hard, I had to deal with really difficult people, and the pay was not good.
When the reality of being a musician wasn't what I'd expected, I decided to join the Navy. My dad had been a military pilot, and the only other thing I had wanted to do other than be a musician was fly military airplanes.
Yes, but it wasn't easy. Musicians aren't often accepted into the Navy, and I was rejected twice. The recruiters thought I would give up, but I got a personal recommendation from the captain of Navy recruiting in Los Angeles.
I was assigned to the F-14 Tomcat fighter jet. I was selected to be sent to Top Gun, which trains you to be a tactics instructor for your squadron. Then I spent the next 14 years in the Navy as a flight instructor, working all over the country.
While doing my last tour with the Navy at the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., I had become friends with some professional strings players. I had a few opportunities to play some chamber music with them. They encouraged me to pursue music professionally.
After I left the Navy, I met a local film director. He learned that I had been a musician and asked if I wanted to write the score for his latest film. I jumped at the chance to give it a try. I really had no idea what I was doing, but it seemed to go OK.
I got a few other offers to score short films and such. I thought, if I'm going to do this professionally, then I need more education. I need to learn how this is really done. That's when I decided to go back to school to get my master's.
There is no minimum education and no particular career path to become a composer. Spend a lot of time studying the art of composition. You need to have a firm grasp of the technical stuff.
I make a concerted effort to keep up with the technological changes in the industry. I read a lot of magazines and music websites online. I also spend a lot of time exchanging ideas with my colleagues and peers and hearing what they're doing.
Also, it doesn't hurt to plan for a day job. In the arts, there's a lot of intense competition, and it can take years before you make enough money to support yourself. Be realistic!

Irrational Fear of Voter Fraud Inspires Irresponsible Election Reform

Weekly Voting Rights News Update
by Erin Ferns
Nationwide, budget concerns seem to be rendering most of this year's threatening election reform proposals impassable. However, that does not prevent these measures from perpetuating the irrational distrust in elections (and voters) that come with restrictive voter ID and voter registration proposals. Instead of focusing on resolutions that would create more transparency in election administration without disenfranchising voters, lawmakers in Oklahoma, Minnesota, Mississippi and Texas made headlines for their battles to move voter ID laws last week, while two more states are discussing bills that would negatively impact young voters.

Gravesham Council elections could see Labour claw back rule from the Tories
7:12pm Thursday 5th May 2011 in Gravesham Elections By Sophie Maden
TONIGHT Gravesham voters will discover whether their votes have kept their council Conservative-run, or whether the Labour party managed to snatch back success at the polls.
Gravesham has once again been identified as a key battleground for political votes, with two visits from Labour leader Ed Miliband and one from Tory Prime Minister David Cameron in the past month.
Before the council became Conservative-run in 2007, it had been under Labour's control for 12 years.
In May 2007, when the Tories took control of Gravesham Council, the Conservatives won 26 seats, leaving Labour with 16.
Before the May 2007 result, Labour had held 23 and the Tories 16 of the Council's 44 seats.
Today, only five of the borough's 18 wards are completely Labour controlled, with the party keen to cling onto its hold in Coldharbour, Northfleet north, Northfleet south, Pelham and Riverside wards.
No other parties currently hold seats at Gravesham Council, although with Liberal Democrat candidates standing in three wards and UKIP in five, that could also change once the votes are counted at Woodville Halls tonight.

Vegetable oil imports dropped five per cent to 8,70,328 tonnes in July against 9,13,179 tonnes during the same period a year ago. Edible oil imports were recorded at 8,48,229 tonnes (8,81,762 tonnes) and non-edible oil shipments were 22,099 tonnes (31,417 tonnes) in July, according to the Solvent Extractors' Association of India (SEAI) press release.
A sharp depreciation in the value of rupee against the dollar and export duty imposed by a few countries hit imports.
The overall import of vegetable oils between November 2011 and July 2012 (oil year) was up by 20 per cent at 7,265,527 tonnes (6,043,403 tonnes). Import of refined oil (RBD palmolein) was up 80 per cent to 1,325,163 tonnes against 736,985 tonnes during the same period a year ago. Share of refined oil in overall imports increased to 19 per cent, while crude oil has fallen 81 per cent.
Share of RBD Palmolein is likely to increase as current Indonesian inverted duty structure encourages larger export of refined oils (nine per cent export duty) over crude oil (18 per cent export duty) and also the gap between CPO and RBD Palmolein has reduced to $33 which was $95 a year back.
Soft oils
Palm oil product import has increased 15 per cent to 5,289,017 tonnes (4,588,474 tonnes) in the first nine months of the oil year. The import of soft oils such as soyabean, sunflower and rapeseed increased sharply to 1,815,650 tonnes (1,240,799 tonnes) as many refiners switched over to refining soft oils from crude palm oil.
Sunflower oil was the major contributor in meeting demand for soft oil, as its prices were much lower compared with soya oil. Currently, the premium on sunflower oil over soya oil is $34 a tonne. Also, India has started importing canola oil and bought about 90,758 tonnes during the last six months mainly due to lesser local crushing of rapeseed due to disparity, said SEAI.

My newly purchased cub has a stuck engine. Do you guys have any magic recipes? I have deasel in the engine now.
Part 2. What oils should be used in the crank case, trans and hydralics
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is
Whatever you use for a soak, patience is the key. Liquid Kroil works well, but it seems everyone has their preference.
As far as fluids: in the crankcase, it depends on what the previous owner used or whether you intend to tear the engine down. If non-detergent oil has been used, there may be significant sludge build-up and changing to detergent oil will start breaking all of it loose. If you're going to pull the pan anyway, clean the engine up and switch to detergent oil or a good synthetic. 30 wt. in the summer and 10 or 20 wt in the winter depending on how cold it gets. Or use a good multi-viscosity just to make it easy.
In the transmission either 90 wt. gear lube or hy-tran fluid. In the hydraulics use hy-tran fluid.
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that!
Welcome to the Cub Family.
Big Dog basically said it all, folks have their preference for different products to free up a stuck engine. I was told that Dextron TF-3 works real well because of the wicking properties, but haven't tried it yet.
I did find a product that really amazed me though. I was trying to free up a toasted adjustable front axle for a wagon that I am building. I tried Kroil, WD-40, and the CaseIH penetrating oil. None of them did it, and I was patient. I was introduced to Solvo-Rust from Loctite. Has excellent wicking properties. I judiciously sprayed the axle 3 or 4 times a day (everytime I passed by it) and after 4 days, I repeat only 4 days, the axle broke free with a couple small wacks with a 3lb hammer, where it refused to budge before.
I am going to get some of this in a can other than a spray can, and I am going to use it to get Jethro unstuck. It is inexpensive and man does it work.
While I am at it, couple things that might be helpful to you.
At the top of this forum is a post called "Announcement: New Members and Visitors, Please READ". Have a read on it, follow the links to the ATIS FAQ's, the Best of H.L. Chauvin and of course the Manual Server. There is a lot of info there for anyone who is wishing to maintain, repair or restore their Cub.
Happy reading, and again welcome to the Cub Family

what causes stuck engines ?
A friend of mine recently did his '48 Cub an overhaul , and then all of a sudden thus fall, he couldn't start it . Not even hand cranking. First thing I said. " did you have oil in it " ? Yes, he said. Just can't imagine what would cause that to happen
I had a working engine lock-up tight on me. Turned out the magneto impulse coulper came apart and jammed the gears. Couldn't even turn it over by hand. Just something to check if you friend hasn't already found the problem.
Countershaft, fan bearing has been known ot cause lock up, as well as leaking head gasket allowing antifreeze to get into cylinder.
"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government
to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the
government lest it come to dominate our lives and interests." Patrick Henry
this is my first post and first cub, so here goes. 2 years ago i bouht 52 cub, motor had been locked up for several years. owner took carb off to get rebuilt and never did. meanwhile motor locked up. Poured marvel mystery oil in it for a couple of months, about every other weekend. Finally pulled head, so I could see, cleaned off some rust, poured each cylinder full of mystery oil. Took a large wooden dowel rod, and tapped very lightly all the way around each piston. very lightly is important, pistons will bust. Did this for several weekends. Finally broke free. The cylinders were not in bad shape, so i just cleaned up good, put on new head and manifold gaskets, cost about $20.00. Just planted 2 acre garden with it. Dad says I need a set of side harrows to make gardening a little easier. But it sure beats a tiller and a hoe.
Welcome to the board Russell! Sounds like you're on the right track.
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that!
Ditto to Big Dog's comments! Welcome to the Cub Family...
Seems you got lucky, I however, am not going to be that lucky. When we pulled the head #2 had about 1/2" of water and goop on top of the piston and #4 had about an inch...... needless to say, punch job needed....
Confusion breeds Discussion which breeds Knowledge which breeds Confidence which breeds Friendship
Just a tip on freeinng stuck engines,,, some body once told me to take a hardwood block and a sledge hammer on top of the pistons,,, DON'T!! Not only do pistons break, but also con rods bend, and even main caps will break if too much force is used from above.
If I get into a stuck engine now, I use a small hardwood block, and about a 20 oz hammer, and tap lightly on the rod caps. If that doesn't loosen it, drop the crank and drive them out, chances are you'll have to bore the engine.
BTW, the tapping comes after a good soak with your favourite oil product. I have had good luck with the ATF as it does tend to creep.

New statistics show chin augmentations are one of the fastest growing plastic surgery procedures.
Chin implants increased last year at a higher rate than breast augmentation, botox and liposuction combined.
Researchers say the surgery's popularity may be due in part to the increased use of video chatting and an aging baby boomer population.

I just can't like Haruka and Michiru together. I've tried, and I failed. I don't see this beautiful romance everyone else does, except in one or two instances, and I kind of feel left out because of it.
Sorry, guys, that's just the way it is.
I love the Outers, but I absolutely hate Michiru and Haruka's attitude towards their mission and the other girls in the late part of the S season. It just felt really out of character and forced for teh dramaz~ after they found out that Usagi is Sailor Moon.
I have varied feelings about the outer senshi. Pluto I like but always f let like she had this matured sadness to her because of her role that the other scouts- even Saturn- couldn't understand. Saturn I came to love later in life because she is basically the opposite of sailor moon- with the power to destroy everything so serenity can bring it back; although I felt when she was reincarnated she lost that badass quality. Even her fuku lost it's uniqueness. Uranus and Neptune I always saw as…cheaters in a way- while all the other scouts seemed to be dedicated to protecting serenity and remaining chaste (and thus not distracted from their soldier duties), Uranus and Neptune are the only other scout who have a relationship. It is the only reason at times I can tolerate their occasional abrasive, "elitist" behavior- they were the rebel soldiers.

What is Breast Cancer?Fact Sheet
Breast Cancer 101 (Interactive Multimedia) - Invasive Breast CancerMacromedia Flash
What is cancer?
In a healthy body, natural systems control the creation, growth and death (called apoptosis) of cells. Cancer occurs when these systems do not work right and cells do not die at the normal rate. There is more cell growth than cell death. This excess growth can make a mass of tissue.
Breast cancer occurs when cells in the breast divide and grow without their normal control. Tumors in the breast tend to grow slowly. By the time a lump is large enough to feel, it may have been growing for as long as 10 years. (Some tumors are aggressive and grow much faster.)
Between 50 and 75 percent of breast cancers begin in the milk ducts, 10 to 15 percent begin in the lobules and a few begin in other breast tissues [4]. Learn more about breast anatomy.
It is important to understand the differences between invasive breast cancer and non-invasive breast cancer, called ductal carcinoma in situ (DUK-tul kar-sin-O-ma in SY-too, sometimes called DCIS). These differences affect treatment and prognosis.
Learn more about breast cancer diagnosis, treatment and prognosis.
Invasive breast cancer occurs when abnormal cells from inside the milk ducts or lobules break out into nearby breast tissue. Cancer cells can travel from the breast to other parts of the body through the blood stream or the lymphatic system. They may travel early in the process when the tumor is small or later when the tumor is large.
The lymph nodes in the underarm area (the axillary lymph nodes) are the first place breast cancer is likely to spread. In advanced stages, breast cancer cells may spread to other parts of the body like the liver, lungs, bones and brain (a process called metastasis). There, the breast cancer cells may again begin to divide too quickly and make new tumors.
When abnormal cells grow inside the milk ducts, but have not spread to nearby tissue or beyond, the condition is called ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). The term "in situ" means "in place." With DCIS, the abnormal cells are still "in place" inside the ducts. DCIS is a non-invasive breast cancer (you may also hear the term "pre-invasive breast carcinoma").
Although the abnormal cells have not spread to tissues outside the ducts, they can develop into invasive breast cancer. Learn more about DCIS and the risk of invasive breast cancer.
Learn about treatment for DCIS.

LYNBROOK, N.Y. (AP) - Police are looking for two thieves who stole 60 parcels after tying up a Federal Express driver on Long Island.
It happened on Lester Avenue in Lynbrook on Tuesday.
Nassau County police say the suspects, one armed with a gun, also stole the victim's cell phone and wallet. The suspects ordered the driver to sit in the truck's cargo area and bound him with plastic ties.
They then removed the packages and made off in another vehicle.
The driver was not hurt.
Police ask that anyone with information about the crime contact the Nassau Crime Stoppers at 1-800-244-TIPS.

Not In Polite Company
by Jim Wallis | April 1994
Not in polite company. Thats where you were not supposed to talk about either
politics or religion. Remember?
Not in polite company. Thats where you were not supposed to talk about either politics or religion. Remember? Perhaps it was because these two subjects were too important and would interrupt the small talk. Or maybe because they were potentially so divisive that they might spoil the party.
Well, that has changed over the years. Both politics and religion are hot topics these days. But now the discomfort seems to be discussing them together.
I recall, painfully, being an evangelical teen-ager who was told by my church that Christian faith had nothing to do with either racism or war. (In truth, most of the good church people quietly supported both, succeeding in keeping their religion separate.) But my heart was rising to the moral challenge of the civil rights movement and the Vietnam war.
The intuition that my faith did indeed have something to do with "politics" was the principle cause of my separation from the little church that had nurtured and raised me. Now in exile, I found a new home in the black community and among the black churches. There I learned what the relationship between the two forbidden topics in polite white society really was.
The civil rights movement was built on the foundation of the black churches. The illuminating oratory of Martin Luther King Jr. and the other preacher-activists of the movement made the integral connection between faith and politics clear.
THE TOPIC HAS BECOME more complicated. The evangelical folks I grew up with finally became involved in politics, and now insist that faith indeed has real political implications. The issue that drew them in was abortion and the cultural breakdown of American society.
Their political involvement became quite alarming to many liberal Christians who had long insisted on the rightful relationship between religion and questions of public policy. It was one thing to support the religious call of black ministers to the barricades of civil rights. It was quite another to accept the "Religious Right" mobilizing on behalf of the unborn.
In his provocative book The Culture of Disbelief, Yale law professor Stephen Carter reflects on this thorny problem. Carter contends that a prejudice against the influence of religious commitment upon political issues now characterizes many sectors of American society, including the media, academia, the law, and the corridors of political power.
Religious conviction is trivialized and becomes quickly suspect when it seems to be affecting matters political. While disagreeing with many of the conclusions of the Religious Right, Carter defends their being "religious" and seeking to impact politics from their faith perspective.
An African American and a constitutional lawyer, Carter claims that the American doctrine of the separation of church and state forbids the establishment of any religion by the state, but not the influence of religious values in the public square. Along with others, such as Garry Wills, he suggests that religious faith has always helped shape American politics and that such influence can be very positive as well as negative.
Emory University Scholar-in- Residence Eugene D. Genovese recently remarked on the same subject. Genovese, a widely respected Left intellectual, said, "Liberalism is over. The Left is dead. Politics will be principally shaped by religious communities. The only question is, will they be repressive and totalitarian religious communities or lucid, progressive ones."
In an equally surprising development, the left progressive Z Magazine declared in its January issue, "It is long past time that the American Left re-evaluated its judgment that religion is unadulterated superstition." The article goes on to describe the historically religious roots of todays progressive egalitarian movements and the radical character of Jesus Christ!
Zs writer suggests that progressive Christian movements could be "the salvation of the secular left. Only a religiously based radicalism can succeed in winning a major sector of American sympathy....The American people will not sacrifice their lives for a secular utopia that does not fulfill their emotional and spiritual needs."
That faith should influence our perception of and participation in politics was a founding principle of Sojourners. But while religion belongs in the political world, religion and ideology are not good partners. Stephen Carter warns against reaching conclusions on political grounds and afterward finding religious justification for them, instead of letting genuine religious conviction shape honest political judgments.
Perhaps the best test of the religious integrity of our political commitments is their predictability or unpredictability. Religious perspectives on political matters must not be predictable on the basis of prior ideological biases. We have seen enough of that on both ends of the political spectrum. To be honest, most of us have fallen into such predictability from time to time, especially during the height of the contentious Cold War years.
But this is a new time. The spiritual nature of the many crises we face is increasingly clear to many people. The failure of ideology on all sides, and the now dysfunctional character of old political categories, is also increasingly apparent. If discerned truthfully, Christian faith will not be squeezed into predetermined positions of Left, Right, or Centeror whatever new ones may emerge in the changing world of secular politics. At its best, religious perspective and conviction will transform categories by bringing independent moral values and social conscience to the public square.(Text missing)

PORT CHARLOTTE: Charlotte County detectives arrested two Port Charlotte residents they say were caught stealing 3,270 feet of copper wiring pulled from seven new street light poles Wednesday on Midway Boulevard in Port Charlotte.
Friday, detectives say they saw 28-year-old Thomas Kristoffer Radell leaving a home at 21163 Bersell Avenue and driving a Chevrolet Lumina.
Detectives say Radell was known to have a suspended driver's license and an active Desoto County warrant for Retail Theft.
Detectives followed him, but he sped up and no pursuit was made.
But a BOLO was issued and moments later a K9 Unit spotted the car parked in a driveway at 2098 Harriet Street, without the driver.
The K9 Unit saw in plain view a roll of stripped copper wire in the back seat. Moments later, detectives say they saw Radell walking nearby and he was detained.
They went back to his home on Bersell Avenue and the owner allowed detectives into the home that she rented a room to for Radell and his girlfriend 32-year-old Kellie Kay Ordish.
While in the home, detectives saw black wire casings and copper wire in the couple's bedroom.
A search warrant was obtained for the car and home and more wire was located in a shed outside the home; some had been stripped, most was still intact.
Detectives met with the contractor who installed the light poles on Midway Boulevard at the construction site and confirmed that the serial number stamped on the wire casings was identical to that found in the car, home and shed.
Marijuana and a glass pipe were also found in the bedroom.
Radell and Ordish were taken to the Charlotte County Jail where they remain on no bond.
Both are charged with Grand Theft, Possession of Marijuana and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. Radell was additionally charged with Fleeing to Elude Police, Resisting an Officer, and was served the Desoto County warrant for Retail Theft.

Eau Claire (WQOW) - No matter the temperature
outside, a new sort of ice may make its way to Eau Claire that promises to be good for
outdoor use all year round.
synthetic ice, a plastic version of the water-based rinks most of us are familiar
with is being tested by Action
City. They are hoping to
get local skaters to try out the product and offer feedback. If the results are
positive, action city is considering installing a half size outdoor rink in the
future. The plastic ice lasts 15 years and vacuuming the surface once a day is
the only maintenance required. An Eau Claire Memorial girls hockey player told
us she likes the idea of practices on it, but would still rather play games on
"It was definitely
a lot different than what I, you know, thought it was going to be. A lot
slower, you don't really glide as much as normally on ice. You can tell the
difference, but for practices it's comparable to ice and once you get used to
it, you can move around like on a normal sheet of ice."
You still have a few
more chances to give the synthetic ice a try for yourself. Free skating will be
offered Monday and Tuesday this week.

'Ding Dong' song to mark Margaret Thatcher's death poses problem for BBC
A song from the movie "The Wizard of Oz," being used to mark the death of Margaret Thatcher, is posing an ethical dilemma for the British Broadcasting Corporation.
Since Thatcher died earlier this week, "Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead" has been downloaded more than 20,000 times from services such as iTunes. Opponents of Thatcher's economic policies say the song is a way of celebrating her death and marking their disapproval of the social injustice they claim she caused.
The sales have pushed the song to No. 4 in the UK's singles charts, with experts saying it has a good chance of being No. 1 by the time the official weekly download chart comes out Sunday.
Each week, the BBC broadcasts the Top 20 songs in the charts, but has faced calls from supporters of Thatcher to block to broadcast of Ding Dong" this week, a few days before Thatcher's funeral.
A Facebook page was set up earlier this week to encourage downloading of the song. The page has been liked by thousands of people.
Despite widespread anger and disgust at celebrations of Thatcher's death, the BBC has said it is likely to broadcast the song if it is at the top of the download chart.
The BBC has faced criticism this week over alleged left-wing bias in its coverage of Thatcher's death. The BBC has long been accused of having a distinctive center-left, metropolitan political bias — something it disputes — and this week has featured several interviews with bitter opponents of Thatcher.

DALLAS- With school budgets about to be slashed, many students likely won't have the opportunity to learn about photography in class. But that is not stopping one group of teenagers from losing their focus.
Sara Sweny-Smith is helping teenagers learn the art of photography.
"I was raise that in order to move forward you always have to give back, so what better way to give back to the kids to give back right now to teach them what I know and what I love," said Sweney-Smith.
Gabriel Martinez, 15, is focused. Through an after school program at the Wesley Rankin Center, Martinez is able to get hands-on experience that he might not otherwise get in school.
"I knew how to work cameras," said Martinez. "I wanted what more to do with the camera than just take a picture."
The Dallas skyline is the focus, but life is not always picture perfect.
The neighborhood is one of the poorest areas in West Dallas, but Anica Leitch, the site coordinator for Project Transformation, said learning photography teaches the kids discipline, which they can carry with them forever.
"But it's a life-lesson they need that will help them gain the character skills they need to graduate and go out into the workforce," said Leitch.
Thanks to Sara Sweny-Smith, perhaps someday these teenagers will be taking pictures for a living.

The project for this book started when I read an interview that the famous French photographer Raymond Depardon gave to "Reponses Photo" magazine.
When R.Depardon was in New York in the early '80s with his girlfriend he wandered and photographed the streets of the city. Because at the time he was too shy to photograph directly the people, as he was walking on the street he he held his camera at the height of his chest and triggered the shutter.
He used a Leica M6 with the 21mm f3.5 lens loaded with Kodak TRI-X pushed to 800 ASA in order to achieve a shutter speed at least 1/500 sec to freeze the human movement.
I felt really inspired from this idea and decided to do the same in my city here in Athens.
Of course I don't have any illusions,Athens is not New York and I'm not R.Depardon,but I think the results are interesting,at least.

Hi Doc. I know it may be a bit early, but in a 12-team PPR keeper league, would you keep Aaron Rodgers or Adrian Peterson?
— Clive
Wow, that's a doozy of a decision, Clive. You're talking about two elite fantasy players here.
While either guy would be a fine keeper selection, it would be difficult for me to recommend not holding on to Peterson. Not only is he one of the best backs to come into the league in a long time, but he is still just 25 years old. With 1,610 yards from scrimmage and 13 TDs, he has been very productive despite not having a productive passing attack all season long. He's not about to take a backseat to anyone on the Minnesota offense, and I would expect him to be as strong as ever in 2011.
Another reason I like him over Rodgers is because of the scarcity of superstars at the RB position. If you cut A-Rod, there likely will be plenty of available QB options you can replace him with that will also put up big stats. If you dump A.P., though, you'll have to find multiple starting backs from a group that isn't as deep. While I'm a big fan of Rodgers, he falls a bit short in this comparison.
Yo Doc-
After watching Michael Vick get battered around by the Vikings, I'm worried about starting him in the last game of my season. Should I sit him in favor of Joe Flacco, who still has something to play for?
— The Whiz, Phoenix, Ariz.
This is a legitimate concern, Whiz, as Vick took a beating on Tuesday night and was hobbling badly for most of the contest.
With the Eagles locked into the No. 3 seed in the NFC and having nothing to play for this week, there's little reason for them to play a banged-up Vick. He has been such an asset for them this season that it wouldn't make much sense for them to use the Pro Bowler in a meaningless contest with the Cowboys. Keep an eye on his status this week in practice, and unless you hear he is going to play a full game, keep him on the bench.
Flacco, meanwhile, takes on the Bengals in a game that has some meaning for the Ravens, as they could still get a first-round bye with a win and a Steelers loss. While he had his worst outing of 2010 in Week Two against Cincy, I'd expect him to fare better this time around. He's not the best option out there in Week 17, but at least he will be on the field, which won't be the case for a lot of key guys in the final week of the regular season.

- " It was nice to be in Baltimore after the fast life of Washington D.C. I'm a a regular user of hostels where ever I travel. It seems not many people care about to be quiet during the night.... talk loud, having major lights on, talking on cell phones or being on computer while there are areas for that. This is applied to most hostels. DB "
- 02 May 2014 Denis Canada
- " It was a good choice, as I slept well and saved money. The room was rather small and dense with 1 chair and 4 lockers for 8 guests, but bed was comfortable and clean and functioning restroom and showers are attached to the room as well as very close to it. The cozy lobby is big and nicely designed. The well-equipped kitchen offers breakfast, that is limited to self-prepared pancakes. You can however keep your own ingredients in the refrigerator. Staff varies from matter-of-fact to nice. "

- 10 Nov 2013 Lai Kwan Consan
- " Stunning location opposite the United States' first ever cathedral but seriously over priced at $35-38 per night for a dorm bed. Unlike most HI hostels they do NOT offer breakfast as they claim - a pancake mix with a bizarrely complicated serious of instructions to find cooking pots 'n' pans is NOT breakfast. There was also no coffee. The staff were also incredibly useless. "

Barbera is a feisty varietal with crisp acid, and that's what makes it such a savvy holiday pick.
"Barbera is a great wine for this time of year because it can go well with holiday favorites like ham and turkey and cranberries and especially the Italian holiday specialty, cioppino," said Greg Graziano, vintner and winemaker of his namesake winery, Graziano Family of Wines.
Graziano produced our wine-of-the-week winner — the Enotria, 2010 Mendocino County Barbera, a value at $17.
It doesn't get any better for Barbera than this. The Enotria has tangy red fruit, and it's smoky and meaty, with a crisp finish.
This striking red is particularly impressive for the price.
"One of the great things about working in Mendocino is that our grape prices are more reasonable than Napa and Sonoma, partly because our land prices are more reasonable and, unfortunately and incorrectly, we have a less famous reputation for wine than our friends to the south," Graziano said.
The vintner is one of the most prolific in Wine Country, with brands that also include Saint Gregory, Monte Volpe and Graziano. "My family members are grape growers from Piemonte, Italy, the homeland of barbera," Graziano said. "We are one of the oldest grape-growing families of Mendocino County, since 1918."
Graziano grew up in the vineyards, and later studied at UC Davis, where his daughter Alexandra now studies.
is also studying to be the fourthgeneration at the winery. Graziano founded the Graziano Family of Wines with his wife, Trudi, in 1988.
"I guess with my history, I was destined to be a winegrower," he said. "I really fell in love with wine and grapes at an early age ... I really knew the direction of wanting to produce Italian varieties from my first trip to Italy in 1982, when I visited my family in Asti and saw its small winery and vineyards."

Will the other half of "Black and Decker" have a sterling repeat of 2012?
Peyton Manning pounded the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday night and didn't miss a beat after missing all of 2011 due to a neck injury. The Denver Broncos new QB was on fire and masterfully guided this team to victory. Von Miller had two sacks and Tracy Porter intercepted a Ben Roethlisberger pass for a touchdown helping the Broncos win their first game of the 2012 season. Fans are dancing in the streets in Denver. Go Broncos!
Who needs Nostradamus when you have Bronco Planet? Odds makers have the Denver Broncos as a point and a half favorite over the Pittsburgh Steelers but Danny and Shadd see a bigger win in store for the Peyton Manning led Broncos. Tune in to see what exciting events are happening prior to the game including pep rallies, tailgates, and Bronco Planet giveaways. Finally "Real Time" in Denver. Let the games begin!
Are you allowed to get really excited after a loss? Peyton Freakin' Manning was on fire as the Denver Broncos manhandled the stout 49ers defense during the first half of Sunday's preseason game. The Broncos starting defense also looked impressive while the 2nd and 3rd stringers blew another lead. All stars look aligned for a successful regular season.
Some tough decisions lie ahead, some of those cut will be new and expected while others will be familiar and a shock to many. A quick breakdown of some of those Denver Broncos on the bubble.
The Denver Broncos had their second preseason game of the year and were able to go into halftime against the Seattle Seahawks with a slight lead. The second half was not as productive as the Broncos eventually lost 30 to 10. Saying all that, there is still a lot to be excited about in the Mile High City. The starters on offense and defense look strong as the regular season nears.
Over 40,000 fans turned out to watch the Denver Broncos annual preseason scrimmage at Sports Authority Field on Saturday. Bronco Planet was there to capture some of the action and offer some feedback on who did well.
The Denver Broncos are finally back at training camp after a busy off season which landed them the biggest name in free agency, Peyton Manning. Listen in as we discuss the Broncos off season moves, the importance of Jack Del Rio, the Elvis Dumervil situation, and who is off to a great start at training camp.
So much hope for the Denver Broncos the first day of camp. Here are a few of mine. Let the games begin!
Can you believe it? Every expert in the country counted the Broncos and Quarterback Tim Tebow out against the Steelers and their number one ranked defense. Miracles do happen and apparently after all the fuss, Tim Tebow is actually a pretty darn good quarterback. Excitement in Denver is off the charts and Tebow mania is burning like a wild fire out of control and causing Huge Damage. Go Broncos Next Josh McDaniels and the Patriots! Stand down Harrison and the Steelers.....Stand Down!

Eli Brown continues to infuse a new attitude and further the rich tradition of the University of Utah ski team in his fifth year as director.
Since taking over as director at Utah, 11 athletes have earned All-America honors. Junior Eva Huckova is a four-time All-American. Two skiers have won national titles - Scott Veenis in 2006 and Snorri Einarsson in 2007. Tague Thorson, who finished the 2008 regular season as the top overall men's alpine qualifier, became one of just a handful of alpine skiers (men or women) to reach the U.S. Ski Team as a collegiate skier in the past 30 years. Chirine Njeim is competing for Lebanon in the 2010 Olympics.
In 2008 Brown led Utah to a third-place finish at the NCAA Championships, its best finish since 2005.
Brown was recently named to the NCAA Men's and Women's Skiing Committee. His tenure runs through 2013. He also led the charge to construct a ski team building on campus to house equipment.
Browns coaching philosophy focuses on preparation.
"I believe that the preparation for ski racing that takes place off the snow is of the utmost importance. The crux of our plan is to first get in the best shape possible, then dial in technique, equipment and strategy.
"Our main goal is to be as prepared as possible for ski racing - this means a healthy course of an intense physical regimen and systematic preparation. I believe that college skiing here at Utah is a great stepping stone for athletes who look to continue racing at a high level after college. We have athletes on this team now who have a serious chance to compete on the national and international stages. Through the hard training and lofty NCAA goals, every day is a small step in the direction of creating future champions.
"By creating a strong team atmosphere and a solid work ethic focusing on preparation, getting back on top of the podium is surely in reach."
Brown grew up as a Nordic ski racer and runner in Minneapolis. His alma mater, South High, won the state cross-country running meet four years in a row. This experience had a lasting affect on Brown.
"Creating a team feeling in individual sports like running, or ski racing is unique and important," he said. "My experience as a runner on the South team shaped my life." Brown went on to become one of the top collegiate racers in the country at Northern Michigan University under coaches Sten Fjeldheim and Trond Nystad. After college skiing, Eli continued racing for a few years as a member of the US Development Team. His top national results included a 3rd, 5th, and 6th at the US National Championships.
In 1999 his coaching career began at Utah as assistant coach to former head coach Kevin Sweeney.
"Kevin taught me what coaching is all about," Brown said. "Believing in your athletes, working hard for them and holding them accountable."
From there, he went on to coach skiing, running, and track at Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington. After helping that program make the jump to NCAA competition, Brown moved to coach in northern Maine at the Maine Winter Sports Center. As the elite cross-country ski coach for the MWSC, Brown started one of the first post-collegiate programs in the country.
"Whitman was a challenge, we didn't really have a place to ski, but we made it work anyways," he said. "Maine was a unique experience, the money and support for the sport of skiing that has been infused into northern Maine is phenomenal."
In 2003, a job offer from Fischer Ski Company drew in Brown. He moved to New Hampshire and started what would become a two-year job in the ski industry. During his time at Fischer, he helped launch their new professional race team together with Swix. "My experience at Fischer was amazing," he said. "I learned a lot about the industry, technology, and service it takes to support athletes at the highest level."
Since 2005, Eli and his family have enjoyed living in Utah. The Browns live about a mile from campus in the Avenues. Eli lives with his wife Joann and their two young children, Sage, and Leland.

Tuolumne County's film history began in 1914, when director J.P. McGowan first discovered Tuolumne County for a serial called The Hazards of Helen. Film legends Douglas Fairbanks and D.W. Griffith soon followed.
The 1920s brought dozens more feature films, nearly all featuring the steam engines of the Sierra Railroad and Tuolumne County's wide variety of terrain – from plains, to rolling hills, to oak savannah, to the desert-like badlands we call the Red Hills, and finally up into the pines—all within 49 miles of track.
This winning combination led to one of the first "talkies". Eighteen months after The Jazz Singer, acclaimed director Victor Fleming and rising star Gary Cooper came to Tuolumne County to make The Virginian. We like to think the first sound many people heard from a motion picture was the whistle of our very own Sierra #3.
Fleming would return to Tuolumne County in 1935 to direct Henry Fonda's movie debut in Farmer Takes A Wife. Cooper returned for several films including Fighting Caravans, For Whom The Bell Tolls, and the Western classic High Noon. The latter film included the Gold Rush town of Columbia, first used in the thirties for Hopalong Cassidy films and others featuring Tom Mix, Errol Flynn, and Joel McCrea.
The people of Tuolumne County knew they had a good thing going and did their level best to keep Hollywood coming. In 1937 – many years before the first 'film commission' was established – the Sonora Motion Picture Association was doing the very thing good commissions do today: visiting studios and hosting tours of the county. This partnership led to literally hundreds of feature films, and later hundreds of television episodes and other film productions – an industry that has meant millions of dollars to our community over their fifty years in operation.
The Tuolumne County Film Commission has followed in the footsteps of this groundbreaking group, starting in the early 1990s. We market to the industry and then assist productions once they arrive, with the goal of making the process as smooth as possible.
Here are just some of the films and television series filmed in Tuolumne County:
- 1910s: Scarlet Days, The Half Breed, The Red Glove
- 1920s: The Traveling Salesman, Covered Wagon, The Virginian
- 1930s: Charge of the Light Brigade, Dodge City, Go West, Wells Fargo
- 1940s: For Whom The Bell Tolls, My Little Chickadee, Return of Frank James
- 1950s: High Noon, Rage at Dawn, The Big Country
- 1960s: "Petticoat Junction", The Great Race,"Bonanza"
- 1970s: "Little House on the Prairie", Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again, Bound For Glory
- 1980s: Back to the Future III, Pale Rider, Indiana Jones & the Temple of Doom
- 1990s: Radio Flyer, Unforgiven, Bad Girls
- 2000s: "Three Wishes", Hidalgo, "Monster Garage"

Sex trafficking is a growing problem – nationwide and here in the valley.
Teens are either lured or kidnapped into a life of forced prostitution.
"A lot of times people think, 'Oh, that happens in foreign countries,'" said Angela Warren, an ASU senior majoring in Social Work. "Well, sex trafficking is taking place...right here in our own back yard."
Warren is directing the Inter-Faith Sex Trafficking Summit on Nov. 8, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., at Redemption Church in Tempe.
It's actually her Barrett honors thesis project and a topic Warren has spent six years researching.
She said any child, anywhere, can fall into the seedy world of sex trafficking.
"Most kids are at risk," said Warren. "Not just poor kids; not kids from bad neighborhoods."
The average age of a child sex trafficking victim in Arizona is 14.9, but, we don't know exactly how many are being forced into sex slavery.
"The statistics vary because there's not really been the ability to do solid research on this because - there's so many out there that we don't know about," said Warren.
She said teens aren't just meeting traffickers on the street.
They're being recruited by friends.
"A girl will be at school with a designer bag and designer clothes and another girl will say, "Oh my gosh- where did you get that? And, she will say I can show you how you can have it too," said Warren.
Warren said there are at least 13 organizations in Arizona – many that will have representatives at her summit - that are all doing the same work with sex trafficking victims.
She wants to see them collaborate.
"If they could find a way - not necessarily to create a single organization - but, begin to network with one another and support one another - this will increase the impact that this state of Arizona can have on this issue," Warren said.
The Governor's Task Force on Human Trafficking recently gave Governor Brewer their recommendations.
Once she makes a decision on which to implement, the goal is to have everything in effect before the Super Bowl rolls into town in 2015.
Warren said that's because big events attract buyers.
To learn more about her Inter-Faith Sex Trafficking Summit, email Warren at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Staff Writer
---- — Mayor Carolyn Kirk has asked City Council for a $4 million loan authorization to pay for the next phase of the 6-year-old combined sewer overflow project mandated by the state and federal environmental protection agencies.
The new work, separating waste water from storm runoff in jury-rigged, often strange and surprising sections of eccentric drainage systems that brought both kinds of water together under the city center's streets, is projected to begin in February or March and continue through the summer, said Public Works Director Mike Hale.
The $4 million will pay for remedial work separating the flows so they no longer mix along Mount Vernon, Perkins, Staten, Prospect, Marchant, Warner, Spring and Main streets, as well as Herrick, Spring, and Winchester courts.
The combined sewer overflow, or CSO, project, required by a modified consent decree with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the state Department of Environmental Protection, began in 2006 and has already cost roughly $25 million to $30 million, Hale estimates.
The U.S. Clean Water Act mandates that no wastewater flow into the harbor, ocean and estuaries.
The next phase will eliminate the numerous old drainage setups at homes and businesses that merge wastewater and runoff in pipes under the streets, sending a dirty mix down to the harbor when the volume is larger than the capacity of the system that runs to the sewage treatment plant. Hence, the use of the word "overflow" in the descriptive term "combined sewer overflow."
Since the project got underway in 2006 with a $27 million loan authorization, the concept of the project has evolved in the Kirk administration and Hale's office.
Hale said he has come to see the project as essentially an endless series of small appropriations to underwrite continuing appraisal and preventative maintenance of what soon will be a largely modernized system of storm runoff isolated from the flow of wastewater, as the Clean Water Act requires.
The idea, said Hale, is "smaller borrowing, more frequently, more accountability."
The inconveniences of the street work is not only required, he said, but will in the long run "take the burden off the neighborhoods when we upgrade the old and put it back together again," but also "allow another generation to enjoy their neighborhoods."
Hale said he believed that in subsequent phases of work, after the street work in the city center and adjacent residential neighborhoods, the focus will shift to East Gloucester, where sewer drains were laid on bedrock, a circumstance that leads to infiltration with runoff.
Immediately after the completion of the upcoming phase of the project comes what Hale described as "reassessment. It's a quiet process ... waiting for a couple of big weather events" so that the city can observe where sewage mixed with runoff is flowing into the harbor.
Since the signing of the consent decree, the city has systematically begun the process of replacing a patchwork system created over many decades that did not distinguish between wastewater and rainwater or snow melt with two separate and independent systems, one for the flow to the sewer plant of wastewater and one for runoff to drain into the harbor.
The same expensive, tedious and labor intensive plumbing repair has been under way across the nation under the mandate of the Clean Water Act, written by Congress in 1972 as the nation and the world became acutely conscious of the harm done to the environment by human activity.
Gloucester deferred the CSO project during the 1970s and 1980s, when federal financial incentive subsidies were available.

The pop of the cork of sparkling wine is part of the New Year's Eve soundtrack as much as "Auld Lang Syne" and fireworks. The tiny, tickling bubbles evoke celebratory moods. With so many sparkling wine choices, seemingly as many as there are bubbles in a bottle, the task of choosing the appropriate sparkler can be daunting.
As you prepare for New Year's Eve, don't let the overwhelming choices get in the way of enjoying the festivities. This week the Cork Dork will help you make sparkling wine shopping decisions.
Cost for sparkling wine ranges from less than $10 to more than $500 per bottle. Keep in mind that in general, you get what you pay for. Most of the sparkling wine is labeled non-vintage, meaning it's a blend of grape juice from multiple vintages. During outstanding vintages some sparkling wine producers will choose to bottle a sparkling wine made exclusively from fruit harvested that year.
Large "Negociant" Champagne houses who purchase much of their fruit, such as Veuve Cliquot, Bollinger, Roederer, Tattinger, Perrier Jouet and Nicolas Feuillatte, dominate the market. However, in the last decade or so, Champagne from small growers has gained some traction with Champagne enthusiasts.
Many of the grape growers in Champagne have been keeping the fruit from some of their best blocks and bottling it themselves, and thus the popularity of grower Champagne has grown.
Grower Champagne tends to be more expressive of their respective sites and the conditions specific to their tiny plots. Many of the large producers blend from a confluence of purchased fruit from, sometimes, hundreds of growers that are blended, rendering many of them monolithic.
Wine importers such as Terry Theise and Becky Wasserman have fueled the growth in the American market, lending their credibility and promoting the underdog small Champagne growers. Further, many of the best grower Champagnes are priced competitively, under $60 a bottle, coaxing value for the consumer dollar.
The manager of Kirkland's , Adam Bernstein, is an adamant booster of grower Champagne.
"They are better Champagne producers than the big houses," he states flatly.
Small grower Champagnes such as Pierre Peters, Pierre Gimonnet, Gaston Chiquet, Larmandier-Bernier, Camille Saves and Egly-Ouriet are available in the local market. Most retail for around $50 to $60.
in Bellevue and Seattle, in Redmond, The Grape Choice in Kirkland, Esquin Wine Merchants in Seattle's SoDo District, Wine World in Wallingford, and McCarthy & Schiering on Queen Anne Hill and Ravenna carry extensive selections of Champagne and sparkling wine at-large.
Most local specialty wine shops, such as on Mercer Island and in Woodinville, can special order most of the sparkling wines recommended in this column.
Bernstein recommends Rosé Champagnes, including Cedric Bouchard's Inflorescence Blanc de Noirs "La Parcelle" ($100), Camille Saves Rosé ($75), Gaston Chiquet Rosé ($60), Jean Vesselle Oeil de Perdrix ($55) and Veuve Fornay Rosé ($60). All are available at The Grape Choice.
Traditional large producers are not going away anytime soon. In fact, Kurt Krause of McCarthy & Schiering says the current non-vintage releases from large producers are the best he's tried in his decades in the wine industry.
Krause recommends Gosset NV Brut Excellence ($38) and Krug Champagne Grand Cuvee ($180).
Pete's sells Heidsieck Monopole for $24.99, Drappier Brut Carte d'Or for $27.29, Duetz Brut Classic for $33.39 and Tattinger Brut La Francaise for $35.59, among other large producers.
Esquin sells the 2002 Perrier Jouet Le Fleur for $99.99, the lowest price in the country according to Esquin European wine buyer Arnie Millan. He also recommends Duval Leroy NV Brut ($29.99) as well Champagnes from smaller producers such as Lenoble NV Brut ($38.99), Jacques Copinet ($43.99) and Jacques Selosse ($143.99).
Only sparkling wine from the French region of Champagne can be labeled Champagne. That doesn't mean that quality sparkling wine can't be produced in other parts of France and the world.
Cremant from Burgundy, Limoux, the Loire Valley, Prosecco from Italy, Cava from Spain and sparkling wine from Argentina and the United States' West Coast are delivering quality and value-driven sparklers.
Wine historians in Limoux claim it is the birthplace of sparkling wine, producing the fizzy wine as early as 1531 by Benedictine monks at the abbey of Saint-Hilaire. It wasn't until more than 100 years later that Dom Perignon started making sparkling wine in Champagne. J. Laurens Brut ($17) and Domaine Collin Brut Cuvee Tradition ($15) are available at both McCarthy & Schiering stores.
Lucien Albrecht's NV Brut Cremant d'Alsace and Louis Bouillot NV Brut Cremant de Bourgogne are two other Cremant options under $20 and readily available at local supermarkets and specialty retailers.
Prosecco is chiefly grown in Italy's Veneto region. It is vinified like Champagne. Unlike Champagne, Prosecco can deliver quality under $20. The Veneto producer Bisol delivers quality at a range of price points. The surprisingly rich and forward non-vintage Bisol Crede is available for around $14 at Pete's. The Valdo Prosecco Brut for $10 at Esquin is another bargain quality sparkling wine.
For luxurious vintage Prosecco, the 2009 Bisol Cartizze is an elegant, floral sparkler with layers of citrus fruit, citrus rind, stone fruits and lithe minerality. It is available at Esquin for $50.
In its native Spain, Cava is the drink of choice during Christmas Eve. It is so value driven that you can buy enough Cava for Christmas AND New Year's Eve. Maset del Lleo NU Reserve Brut sells for $12 at in Bellevue. The Mont Marçal Cava Brut Extremarium retails for $20 at The Grape Choice.
The Coiron Sparkling Extra Brut from Argentina is another complex, balanced and food-friendly sparkler available for under $20 at Wine World and QFCs around the Puget Sound.
Sparkling wine domestic choices include Cave B Blanc de Blanc, Columbia Valley, available for $25 at Urban Enoteca in Seattle's SoDo District, 2001 Argyle Extended Tirage Brut, Willamette Valley, for around $50 at most supermarkets and specialty retailers, and Schramsberg Blanc de Blancs for around $35, also available at most supermarkets.
In the end if you are looking to celebrate the New Year in style, Salon is, shall we say, the Champagne of Champagnes. The current vintage, 1996, sells for $350 at The Grape Choice.

Bottle purchased in February 2013 at the Brewery, served in Duvel Tulip, slightly chilled
It pours dark brown with a lightish brown, toffee colored head which doesn't last very long. When held to the light, it is difficult to see thru it however it appears a very dark, ruby red when held directly in the light. Overall, appears to be a dark brown.
Oak and alcohol come thru immediately upon initial smell. Slight alcohol burning the nostril with undertones of dark fruit and semi-sweet candy sugar
Mouthfeel is thick but not overly thick, normal for a middle of the road Barleywine (not to thick, not too thin) but closer to the thick side.
Taste is of oak, burnt sugar, whiskey, slight sweetness. The middle is dark fruit: date, plum, sugar, sweetness. All that subsides shortly after and the end of the the middle comes into bourbon/whiskey oak and leaves a lingering hotness/slight spice with a sweetness coating the mouth. Finishes slightly dry and sweet with oak and distilled favors.
Overall, I loved it! I was worried about how it would taste as I was unable to try it fresh but I can only guess that it has aged gracefully. Can't determine how it will continue to age, but it's great right now. I think they were $15 each and I wish I had bought more.

Thanks to DrAwkward82 for sharing this one at drewone's tasting.
Bottle # 57/113.
Pours a hazy brown with a foamy khaki head that settles to a film on top of the beer. Small streaks of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of malt, brown sugar, toffee, whiskey, and wood aromas. Taste is much the same with toffee and wood flavors on the finish. There is a mild amount of woody bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a good beer that has a slightly better barrel presence in the smell.

750 mL bottle poured into a snifter. Bottle #73 of 113.
Appearance - Murky ugly reddish orange. Little bit of a chunky off-white head. Lopsided collar.
Smell - Bright aroma. Very fruity. Almost grapefruit. Whiskey is very subtle but adds a nice dimension.
Taste - Lots of caramel. Has that distinct caramel barleywine malt flavor. Whiskey is less intense and even hides. Lots of grapefruit and other fruits. Bourbon comes back in the back end.
Mouthfeel - A little bitter, but smooth and not boozy. Medium carbonation.
Overall - Excellent barleywine. The base beer is very impressive and the barrel adds just enough.

on-tap @ the brewery
Part of a series of 4 barrel aged barleywines (purchased a bottle of 2 of the others) - murky muddy amber body. Barrel integration is pretty nice - vanilla, oak, smooth notes of bourbon. Not overly sweet and not oppressively "big" to make a 12oz pour a chore. Good stuff - looking forward to the bottles.

Review #2600 poured into a Swamphead Snifter. #14 of 113.
A: Poured a murky cola-brown color with a nice khaki head which left a nice cap, loads of bubbles and some good lacing. A nice collar remains after a few sips. Very sexxxy.
S: Big toasted coconut, vanilla, some sweet toffee and caramel, hint of stinging whiskey booze, Earthiness, very light hint of funkiness which I love in this style
T: Initial taste has some barrel funk upfront with vanilla and coconut, whiskey notes upfront but very subtle and in check. Caramel and toffee with dashes of brown sugar peep in towards mid taste and the end. A chocolate presence noted as well. The finish has a somewhat long and lingering light bitterness, sordove dry even, a little boozey sting to round it out
M: Medium-full bodied, a little fading on the flavor profile, a tad bit overcarbonated for the style but otherwise its nice.
O: Very well done and much better than I expected after really disliking my Billy the Mountain and not being the biggest Upright fanboy. Impressive. Getting more and glad I have another!

Sneak Preview of the Goblet of Fire DVDGoFFilm
February 10, 2006, 02:12 PM
Lizo, from CBBC Newsround, was lucky enough to get a sneak preview of the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire DVD, and has now posted his thoughts and review of the new disc, along with some great scoops on what is ahead for us. He writes:
"Highlights include the inspired choice of writer/director Richard Curtis to interview Dan, Emma and Rupert; the Meet the Champions section with Clemence, Stan and Robert; and the section dealing with the film's climax - the return of He Who Must Not Be Named.
Lowlights include no JK Rowling - by her own admission, finishing writing this book was one of her most challenging experiences. It would have been wonderful to hear from her about this film version. And there's no director commentary from Mike Newell. "
Spoiler Caution for those who don't want to know a thing before it is released here on March 7.
