Nice porter with a lot of flavor. The downside is that it's a bit metallic in the taste, but otherwise a very good and quite easy to drink porter.

Bottle purchased at Beers of the World in Henrietta, NY.
Pours a black-ish dark brown, with a creamy and frothy looking off-white head, and a good amount of lacing down the glass.
Smells like caramel, roasted malt, and sugar.
This is a quite sweet baltic. It's very caramelly, this one seems quite heavy-handed in the use of caramel malt. Quite sweet, with some burnt sugar and molasses flavors, plus a decent amount of chocolate. Tastes more like a sweet milk stout than a baltic porter, to be honest. As it warms, the sweetness becomes more bearable, and the beer becomes pretty pleasant.
Medium bodied, almost cloyingly sweet mouthfeel, a slow sipper due to this. Medium carbonation.
If they cut down the sweetness with some additional roasted malt, this would be much better. As it is now, it's just an average but still fairly tasty porter.

500 ml bottle into snifter, no bottle dating. Pours nearly opaque dark brown color with a 2 finger fairly dense khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of caramel, toast, raisin, plum, dark bread, brown sugar, light chocolate/roast, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of dark/bready malt and yeast ester fruitiness; with solid strength. Taste of caramel, toast, raisin, plum, dark bread, brown sugar, light chocolate/roast, and yeast earthiness. Minimal bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of caramel, toast, raisin, plum, dark bread, brown sugar, light chocolate/roast, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice robustness and solid complexity of dark/bready malt and yeast ester flavors; with a great malt/yeast flavor balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a smooth, moderately creamy, and slightly chalky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is a nice Baltic porter style. Good balance and robustness of dark/bready malt and yeast ester flavors; and very smooth to drink. A nicely enjoyable offering.

Sampling right now on 4/25/14. Comes in a nice 500ml (16.9 ounce) bottle and is different than the one in the picture. Paid $2.99 for this single bottle at Spirit World in Omaha last week. Bottle chilled down to 36 degrees F in my beer cooler and poured into a vintage "Schlitz" glass goblet.
Pours actually a pitch black in color with a small beige head that settles down to a very thin layer on top with most around the sides of the glass. Some spotty lacing is seen. The aroma is of roasted malts and brown sugar. Very nice! The taste ia about the same with a hint of dark fruits coming through at the end along with the brown sugar. A really tasty brew with no bitter or harsh aftertaste at all with perfect carbonation for this type of brew style. Never had a Baltic Porter let alone from Latvia.

500ml Bottle from Beers of Europe website (£2.69):
Dark brown that is opaque and topped off with a centimetre tall, bubbly head that is a light brown colour. Retention is good & there is some nice lacing too.
Sweet dark malts with some sugar and roasted notes along with a mix of darker fruits and some vanilla too. The smell isn't as in your face as I was expecting from a 6.8% Baltic porter but at the same time this wasn't exactly week either. There was some raisin, liquorice and touches of alcohol too.
Sweet with dark fruits, a lot of sugar and slightly more alcohol than I would have liked. There is a few roasted malts and a rich, malty flavour that is rounded off with some light chocolate that lingers at the end.
Sweet with a medium to light medium body and some grain. The mouthfeel was fairly smooth and quite rich but the balance was pretty terrible with the flavours coming in all over the place.
Almost like a foreign export stout in places, especially when the roasted malts and chocolate made itself known alongside the sweetness that ran all the way through the drink. The beer was drinkable but not all that enjoyable with the alcohol coming across a little harsh and no of the flavours really working well with the others.

A: Dark brown brew, maybe a 1/2 finger of tan head with moderate retention.
S: Dark roasted malts, a slight whiff of coffee. Smells roasty, but not very sweet. Not an overly complex smelling beer, but pleasant.
T: Taste brings a lot more to the table than I expected from the aroma. Roasted malts bring a fair amount of sweetness, there is a deep breadiness to the beer as well. Some dark fruit/raisin flavors combine with the breadiness to make this beer reminiscent of a Dubbel. The finish is dry and slightly woody.
M: Moderate body, slightly sticky with a crisp amount of carbonation.
O: A good, solid beer. I could easily drink a six-pack of these. It goes down really smooth, and brings a nice punch of roasty flavors.

A little history before the taste test. Like Russian Baltika and Lithuanian Švyturys breweries, Latvian Aldaris is owned by the Carlsberg Group through its Baltic Beverage Holdings subsidiary. Since acquisition in 2008, the Aldaris brewery has been modernized and upgraded. As a result, the beer you see today may not be the same one you might have found only a couple of years ago. The historic black-and-gold label pictured above has also been updated to match the rest of the brewery's line-up, although "Porteris" still dominates the label. The label is where it gets interesting. The Latvian label merely says "Porteris Alus". "Alus" is both a generic term for beer and what one would expect it to represent -- ale. So the Latvian label merely says "Porter Beer" or "Porter Ale". The English version is weird. The collar reads "Porteris Lager". The main label is "Porteris Lager Ale", which is a complete oxymoron. Yet, the contents represents the traditional Baltic porter that Aldaris has been making for quite some time.
Porteris comes in a half-liter dark amber bottle. The Aldaris site suggest serving temperature of 10-14°C (50-55°F). I poured mine at a warmish 58°F into a Russian half-liter mug from IKEA.
The color is dark, nearly black. On tilt, it shows a gradient from dark amber (matching the color of the bottle) to deep maroon to dark chocolate. There is a lot of initial light, tan-colored head that quickly dissipates into a thin lacing layer that gradually disappears. Mild carbonation with very fine bubble structure that has soft, creamy feel on the tongue, closely resembling a milk stout.
Smell is faint but malty. In fact, it's hard to discern any smell other than malt and a slight wine-like tingle from the yeast.
Initial taste is pure malt, seems to be a combination of chocolate and caramel malt. No trace of bitterness or hops, but a mild citrus note that turns into black cherry after a few seconds. Very faint licorice note on initial pour, but see note below. The porter seems sweet, but that seems largely due to lack of bitterness and flowery hop flavors than to residual sugars. The taste remains consistent and fades gradually, without any significant change in profile.
Medium body with moderate alcohol level (6.8%) which is, nonetheless, the strongest beer in Aldaris lineup. Feels lighter than most in this category.
This is a very good representative of the Baltic Porter style (I had it a day after Victory's Baltic Thunder and actually liked it more). Unlike some porters, this one is very easy drinking, not particularly complex, but needs to be near room temperature to show flavor (Latvians drink it cold as a summer thirst-quencher, of all things!). At about $2 for 1/2-L, it's also inexpensive, so the buying choice is fairly easy. Not something I would save for a special occasion, but can be a good everyday alternative to the lighter ales.
It does get a bit more interesting. I had to leave only having finished a bit more than half the mug and came back in 1 hour. By then, the beer was completely flat and slightly warmer. No noticeable nose change, but the taste was radically altered. It showed more licorice-like sweetness and the initial acidity was completely replaced with dark-fruit flavor (stronger cherry notes). If it weren't for the body, the taste almost approached that of a good coffee stout. It's no Bourbon County, but still more interesting than expected.

Poured from a 16.9 oz bottle into a Lagunitas mason jar glass.
Appearance: dark brown to black. Shined a 600 lumen bike light through it and it had a burgundy to maroon shade. Not a lot of head and minimal lacing.
Smell: Lots of malts and a little fruit (cherry).
Taste: Malts dominate this brew. A little cherry. Not much hops. Sweet but in a good way. I get no taste of alcohol. Very smooth and pleasant.
Mouthfeel: Solid medium body.
I like this beer. I asked the beer guy at the store for a good malty porter and he suggested this. It was a home-run. Sweeter than most of the Baltic Porters I have had, but this is a solid beer. I bought 3 of these and had one last week and liked it. Just opened the second tonight and feel the same way. I sipped it over the course of an hour. Taste is pretty constant from cold to room temp. This is not a complex beer (mainly malt favor) but is a beer I will keep on hand. Price was $1.89 for a 16.9 oz bottle.

PEORIA, Ill. -- Peoria Police are hoping a new initiative called "Don't Shoot" will help curb gun violence in the city.
The "Don't Shoot" program was introduced today in conjunction with the 2nd annual "Riding 4 a Safer Tomorrow" bicycle ride.
About a hundred people participated in the 4-mile ride, which began at the Glen Oak Learning Center and wound through several neighborhoods.
Prior to the ride Peoria police chief Steve Settingsgaard spoke to participants about the new initiative.
"We got it from a book called Don't Shoot by an author named David Kennedy," said Settingsgaard. "Its been tried in several cities and its been successful in cities. They've seen reductions in their gun violence. Its something that we've investigated, the U.S. Attorney's Office brought it to Peoria."
Settingsgaard encourages people who want to support the "Don't Shoot" initiative to visit the website don'tshootpeoria.com .

MANCHESTER — Police arrested a Manchester man who is facing numerous drug and theft charges after a neighbor called police to report a "suspicious person" on a property on Summer Street.
Peter Garland, 33, is facing a breaking and entering charge with intent to commit a felony, larceny from a building, two counts of larceny greater than $250, two counts of possession of class A narcotics; heroin and Adderall, possession of a class B narcotic, Suboxone, possession of a class C narcotic, Klonopin, malicious destruction of property and shoplifting.
Manchester police officers Christopher Locke, Ryan Machain, Zachary Johnson and Sgt. Mark McCoy responded to a Summer Street residence at 12:15 a.m. after a neighbor had called police and reported someone was by a shed.
Police said they found Garland in the woods nearby, and he appeared to be making trips with tools and valuable items stolen from the shed.
When questioned by police, Garland was also found with groceries believed to be shoplifted from Richdale's; the store's owner reported the groceries missing.
Two more dead harbor seals washed up in Manchester, one at 8:15 a.m. Thursday on Proctor Cove, the other on Long Beach at 9:15 a.m. Police notified officials from the New England Aquarium, who retrieved the seals.

James Stewart passed Chad Reed roughly one-third of the way through Saturday night's AMA Monster Energy Supercross race in Oakland, Calif., picking up the first win of the season with his new Joe Gibbs Racing team.
Stewart, who had struggled in the first two rounds of 2012 before rebounding with a podium finish last week, cruised to a 2.35-second victory over Reed.
Ryan Villopoto was third, with Ryan Dungey and Andrew Short rounding out the top five.
Stewart's victory means there have been four different winners in the first four weeks of the season. The circuit returns to Anaheim – where Villopoto won the season opener – next week.
Reed and Dungey share the series points lead, according to Supercross.com, with Villopoto just two points behind. Stewart is fourth in the standings, 12 points back.
Several riders wore tributes to Ryan Morais and Trey Canard, who were both injured in a crash on the opening lap of last week's round at Dodger Stadium.
Canard, who suffered a broken back, was still hospitalized as of Saturday but is walking with the help of a walker (according to a tweet from his brother, Aaron). Morais was released from the hospital on Thursday and will continue to recover from his multiple injuries at home, according to his wife's Twitter feed.
Here are Saturday night's AMA Supercross results:

Bruno loves Emmitt because he just has fun with the dance. He mentions that he did lose a couple of passes in the dance. Carrie Ann says they lost their timing when they came down the steps and never got back. Len says it lacked a bit of finesse here and there, but was overall entertaining.
Scores: Carrie Ann: 8.5; Len: 8.5; Bruno: 9.5
Bruno is full of love.
Scoreboard, after individual dances:
(These scores are out of 90, 30 from last week's individual routine, 30 from last week's group routine, and 30 from tonight's routine)
Sabrina & Louis: 88.5
Apolo & Karina: 86.5
Melissa & Tony: 86
Shawn & Derek: 84.5
Gilles & Peta: 84
Emmitt & Cheryl: 82.5
Kirstie & Maks: 80
Kelly & Val: 78.5
And now it's time for the group dance, a freestyle with all 8 couples. The judges will be giving two bonus points to the couple they judge "most entertaining." TWO FREAKING POINTS? We're going through this for TWO POINTS?!!
They've brought in two choreographers to teach them the group routine. Gilles was three hours late to rehearsal because he was working, so he has to catch up quick. Apolo interviews that he's lost and looks it. Ah, this is when Shawn hurt her knee; they show a close-up of it and it looks red and swollen.
Big & Rich are there to perform "Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy.: Waitaminute, don't Cheryl & Drew kind of own this song on DWTS? The women dancers are on the stairs on either side of the band and come down to the top of the stairs and then down on the floor where they meet the guys entering in a line across the dance floor.
At one point, all the guys are down on the floor in push-up position so that the girls can "ride" them. They end with a push-up with a clap in the middle. I'm impressed they all did that.
Now Cowboy Troy is on stage to sing that train chicken song and each couple apparently will be doing a solo. Emmitt and Cheryl are up first and seem to get out of sync almost right away. They end their bit with a lift that looks a little awkward but they're saved by a quick cutaway to Cowboy Troy.
Then Sabrina and Louis are up and they end with a lift where Louis has his arms fully extended over his head and he's holding Sabrina under her armpits. The look on Sabrina's face is pure terror as they wobble and almost topple. But no fall and the lift ends in a horizontal split on the floor.
Gilles and Peta are up next and doing some of those swing/jive moves where Gilles swings Peta around at his knee level and steps over her as she goes around. High energy from both of them throughout their solo.
Then Kirstie and Maks come on and it mostly consists of Kirstie miming smacking Maks' behind. So there's that. But THEN they end with Kirstie taking a running leap at Maks and him catching her with her legs around his waist. Way to go, Maks! I like how he gets Kirstie to trust him when he tries things the skinnier women do.
Shawn and Derek come out and do a lot of fancy footwork and then a lift that doesn't tax Shawn's knee. Melissa and Tony enter the stage with Melissa on Tony's shoulders, like you would in a "chicken fight" in a swimming pool. She then somewhat clumsily transitions to an awkward lift position where she has her legs wrapped around Tony from the front and she looks like the prow of a ship.
Val and Kelly come out and Val whips Kelly around like the 90 pound slip of nothing that she is. It looks like tremendous fun. As they do their complicated footwork I'm impressed by Kelly's leg muscle definition. They end with Kelly jumping up, wrapping her legs around Val's waist and then doing that "Whoo! Whoo!" arm thing.
Apolo and Karina's solo seems shorter than everybody else's and at one point in a lift Karina looks likes she hits Apolo in the side of the head with her leg.
Then everybody is back out on the dance floor to do some final moves for the big finish.
Len says it was fun and full of tricks and treats. He singles out Kirstie's bottom-smacking. Bruno calls out Kirstie too. And he liked Apolo's lift and can't say the word "lasso." Carrie Ann calls out the Cheryl/Drew connection. She thought Sabrina, Kelly, and Gilles had the best solo. I guess she didn't notice when Sabrina almost busted it during her lift.
Kirstie and Maks get the bonus points, because our judges like spanking.This puts them up to 82 points, which is a full 3.5 points ahead of Kelly & Val. If I didn't know better I'd think they were either trying to make sure Kelly goes home or that Kirstie stays. Tune in tomorrow night to see who goes home.

CATEGORIES FeaturesIn honor of our 20th birthday, we'll be celebrating movies and their impact on individual people. If there is a movie that has changed or inspired you, let us know by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
There are movies that affect us in ways that we don't notice. They may give us a catchphrase or a clever quip to use on our significant other when he or she is being obnoxious. They may have even given us the perfect pick-up line that got us with our significant other in the first place. Most of the time, when we use these lines or make a reference, we don't even realize we're doing it. Then there are times when a movie can affect us so profoundly that we are moved to actions because of it, rather than despite of it. For me, that movie was 'Pay It Forward.'
I have a disorder called Goldenhar Syndrome, and because of this my face is a little crooked - nothing terrible, but very obvious. And dealing with it has inspired me to study to be a teacher. I realize that because of my disabilities and the fact that I have succeeded in life despite or possibly even because of them that I have something to teach kids that goes beyond textbooks. If I can do it, so can they.
I have, however, suffered in some ways due to my disorder. I grew up thinking my face disgusted others, which led to a serious lack of confidence in myself. And I'm very shy when it comes to relationships. It was because of this that I found it easy to relate to Mr. Simonet (played by Kevin Spacey) in 'Pay It Forward.'
When becoming romantically involved, people can be suspicious or easily skittish at first. So imagine what it's like for a person with a facial deformity. It's nearly impossible not to wonder what someone is thinking when they accept a date or when they don't. It constantly wears on you. It makes you cold. It makes you hard. Sometimes you even resist the people who truly do care for you.
When I first saw 'Pay It Forward,' I was seeing a woman I really cared about, but I had yet to tell her I loved her. I was afraid. But 'Pay It Forward' made me realize that I was hurting myself as much as I was her. At the end of the movie, I went out on my balcony and cried my eyes out. The next day, I told my girlfriend I loved her. We had a great relationship and I still love her, though we are no longer together. But if I hadn't told her, I would have lost her and we might never have become as close friends as we are today. Since then, I've made a point of telling those I care for that I love them, and 'paying it forward.'
As the movie says, "It's supposed to be hard." That is what makes these individual actions such miracles. There is potential for greatness in people if they just give themselves a chance. With just three favors for three people, we could change the world. We could change ourselves.

In Defense of the Constitution refutes modern critics of the Constitution who assail it as "reactionary" or "undemocratic." The author argues that modern disciples of Progressivism are determined to centralize political control in Washington, D.C., to achieve their goal of an egalitarian national society. Furthermore, he contends, Progressive interpreters of the Constitution subtly distort fundamental principles of the Constitution for the precise purpose of achieving their egalitarian goals. It is in their distrust of self-government and representative institutions that Progressivists advocate, albeit indirectly, an elitist regime based on the power of the Supreme Court?or judicial supremacy. Key elements and issues in this transformation of the original republic into an egalitarian mass society are thoroughly examined.

Millburn High School boys fencing team advances to state semifinals
The fifth-seeded Millburn High School varsity boys fencing team overcame a slow start Feb. 13 to edge fourth-seeded and defending champion West Morris Mendham High School 14-13 in the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association tournament quarterfinals in Mendham.
Millburn (15-1) advances to oppose top-seeded Columbia High School, a 17-10 winner over ninth-seeded Bernards High School in quarterfinal-round action on Feb. 12 in Maplewood, in next week's semifinals.
"After falling behind 2-7 in the first round, the Miller captains rallied the team," Millburn head coach Robert Baum said.
Millburn reeled off five consecutive wins to tie the match at seven.
West Morris Mendham (13-1) won three of the next four bouts to take a 10-8 lead, only to see Millburn rally to take a 13-11 lead.
Miller senior Albert Reiss, after dropping his first two epee bouts, provided the match-clinching point.
Junior Andrew Afable paced the Millburn foil squad with a 3-0 record. Senior captain Andrew Brod went 2-1, allowing just one touch in his final two foil bouts.
Alex Ren, coming off a championship performance in freshman foil Feb. 10 at the Montclair Freshman/Sophomore Invitational, was called on to substitute for injured senior Andrew Brod in the final round.
Ren won his bout 5-0, setting the stage for the match-clinching victory by Reiss.
Senior captain Danny Dembner and junior Ben Goldman each went 2-1, leading a strong showing by the Millers' saber squad.
Senior Ricky Eschenbach posted a 2-1 record "against Mendham's strong epee squad," Baum said.
"(We) also received support from a number of parents and the junior varsity who made the trek to cheer on the team," Baum said.
The Millers will be meeting Columbia for the second time this season.
In the first meeting, the Millers handed the Cougars their first home loss in four years with a 16-11 triumph Jan. 24 at The Fencing Alliance in Maplewood.
Second-seeded Watchung Hills Regional High School, a 14-13 quarterfinal-round winner over seventh-seeded Don Bosco Prep, takes on the winner of the quarterfinal-round match between third-seeded Ramapo High School and sixth-seeded Ridge High School.
The semifinals are scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 20. The matches will be hosted by the higher seeded teams.
The tournament consolation and championship matches are scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 27, at Morris Hills High School in Rockaway.
The consolation match, pitting the semifinal-round losers, is set for 4:30 p.m.
The championship match is scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m.

CNN's John Avlon Blasts Tea Party Congressmen for 'Demagoguing' the Debt
Once again, Tea Party-critic John Avlon took aim at "hyper-partisanship" in Congress but focused the blame squarely on House Republicans while saving a tiny bit of blame for Democrats. In a July 25 op-ed for CNN.com, he hit Republicans for walking away from a generous deal by President Obama to settle the debt ceiling debate.
"We are learning that activists and ideologues pushing anti-tax pledges have nothing to do with the responsibility of governing," Avlon berated Tea Party members of Congress, while accusing them of opposing the bipartisan plan set forth by the "Gang of Six" simply because Obama approved of it.
Avlon also emphasized that the vote to raise the debt ceiling is "usually a routine action," and apparently should have been accomplished already. True, but he fails to account for the Republican argument that the country cannot afford to keep raising the debt ceiling routinely without enacting sufficient spending cuts.
Among some of the descriptions of Tea Party Republians Avlon provides are "anti-tax absolutists," "critics who come armed with their own facts," and that House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) practices "situation ethics." Is Avlon the one being hyper-partisan now?
However, this is simply par-for-the-course from the man who thought the 2010 CPAC's theme "Saving Freedom" was "a little extreme." He also has claimed the Tea Party wouldn't have difficulty supporting Reagan today, for his not being conservative enough.

If so, YOUR PARTY has been "voguing" at government, pretending it wants to do anything at all but tax and spend money like a drunken sailor at a bordello on pay day.

Who's being responsible?
Submitted by Galvanic on Tue, 07/26/2011 - 8:56am.
"We are learning that activists and ideologues pushing anti-tax pledges have nothing to do with the responsibility of governing," Avlon berated Tea Party members of Congress . . .
It has been the IRresponsibilty of governing that has gotten us into this economic mess. It is the ideologues who insist that the only responsible thing to do is to keep borrowing more $$$ and let another generation get stuck with the bill. Ideologues don't have to think; they only have to stay true to form. Their collective position is "We've always raised it before, so we must raise it again . . . and again . . . and again . . . ?"
Some of the Dems acknowledge that we wouldn't even be discussing long-term debt were it not for the Tea Partiers holding firm on their tax position. Even if the Congress and the President come up with a short-term deal to raise the debt ceiling, the marker has finally been throw down and the Left can no longer ignore the Tea Partiers. Unemployment and long-term national debt are the issues of the 2012 election.

This year, the Kentucky Derby's Opening Festivities were lit by something even more spectacular than the usual display of what is said to be the country's largest fireworks show. April 18 saw the first of what may become an annual lighting of the bridge from which the pyrotechnics exhibition is projected. The mile-long bridge, which connects the Derby's hometown of Louisville, KY, with neighboring city Clarksville, IN, was illuminated by Jim Tutorow of Vincent Lighting Systems. His design involved 100 Vari*Lite(R) VL4(TM) and 300 VL5Arc(TM) automated luminaires, controlled by a mini-Artisan(R)2 console.
"I wanted to do something with the bridge," Tutorow explains, "but something different than had been done before--something with automated fixtures." Two years ago, Tutorow first contacted future client Wayne Hettinger of Visual Presentations. Although "at the time there wasn't anything bright enough, I knew that things were going to come out. In January 1998, Wayne called and asked, 'Do you still want to do something with the bridge?' Isaid, 'Well, heavens, yes,' and we went from there."
Tutorow is no stranger to such prominent undertakings. As the lighting designer for the Proctor & Gamble year-end meeting, his work has been broadcast via satellite to 12 countries. The Proctor & Gamble show used a total of 48 lights, which was "a lot, I thought, at the time," Tutorow admits. But the Kentucky Derby project, named "Thunder Over Louisville," was "the largest non-rock and roll Vari*Lite gig ever attempted." With the longest span (4,000' [1,219m] on both sides of the bridge), it was also the "largest Vari*Lite show ever programmed on a single console," although Vari*Lite programmer Benny Kirkham said that he "would have run the show off two consoles just to have a little more flexibility in the programming."
Originally, Tutorow had been "looking at using 200 VL5Arcs when we were going to do every other steel structure. But the night we looked at the demo, we thought it would look fantastic if every steel structure got a light. So we basically doubled the package." However, because the VL5Arcs were such a new product, there hadn't been a sufficient amount produced--the Derby project consumed "almost all of [the existing VL5Arcs] in America." The end result was the use of only 300 VL5Arcs and 100 of the pre-existing VL4s. "I didn't want to call [other companies] to have to get 400 studio lights together. I just called Arthur [Smith, of Vari*Lite in Nashville] and said, 'I need 400 fixtures' and he made it happen."
Tutorow's project, "the largest VL5Arc demonstration to date," was a convenient means for the company to display its technology. "The client, the reaction from the crowd, plus the video all got excellent reviews," Smith says.
Tutorow agrees. "People were just ooh-ing and ahh-ing." The bridge lighting and the 30-minute fireworks display were set to a music track designed by Hettinger. This year's theme was fantasy; accordingly, the music included pieces from Titanic, The X-Files theme, and Jimi Hendrix's "Purple Haze." A MIDI converter "allowed us to trigger all of the lights and fireworks so that the visual displays were in conjunction with the music. Everything flowed together."
Despite poor weather conditions, over half a million spectators appeared for the event. "We got into town on the night of the 14th, started work on the 15th, and it rained all day," Tutorow stated ruefully. "I want to start a day earlier next year, even though we were on time with everything, to have that extra day just in case."
Commending the VL5Arcs, Tutorow claims "they didn't have a single problem with the rain." In fact, the only weather-related problem that Vari-Lite experienced occurred when "we had to cover a fan and a VL4 overheated," resulting in a melted amber filter.
For next year's repeat performance, Tutorow is "pushing for all VL5Arcs," as well as more complex programming that will involve more multicolored effects. Setup will also "begin a day earlier, and we'll probably also rotate the crew out a little more." The 18-person crew, comprised of both Vincent Lighting and Vari-Lite technicians, worked the entire time. "By the end of the week, we were all just dead."
But Tutorow believes all of his efforts paid off, and he's eagerly anticipating similar projects. "My branch office is across the river from Cincinnati and there's Riverfest every year. I'd love to do something for them. Detroit has a big fireworks display as well."

He's one of richest men in the world. Now Warren Buffet wants to share the wealth. One billion dollars to be exact.
All you have to do is fill out a perfect bracket. But what are the chances of winning? We asked a man who knows about odds. Vincent Francia is the general manager of this North Valley horse track.
"It's a lot easier to pick the winner of a horse race here at Turf Paradise or find the Lost Dutchman Gold out in the Superstitions than to pick a perfect bracket," said Francia.
The odds are more than one in 9.2 quintillion. Chances of winning do improve if you know a little something about college basketball to one and 128-billion.
Francia did offer a bit of advice.
"What horse racing and March Madness have in common is looking for that horse or that team that is peaking at the right time," said Francia.
The deadline to fill out one of Buffet's brackets is 1:00 a.m. EST.

Revolved Side Angle Pose
Parivrtta Parsvakonasana
Since most students can�t easily keep their back heel down in this pose, a modified version will be described here with the back heel raised off the floor. See Deepen the Pose below for a brief description of the full pose.(par-ee-vrt-tah parsh-vah-cone-AHS-anna) parivrtta = to turn around, revolve
parsva = side, flank
kona = angle
Step by Step
Stand in Tadasana. With an exhalation, step or lightly jump your feet 3� to 4 feet apart. Rest your hands on your hips. Turn your right foot out to the right 90 degrees and turn your left foot in slightly to the right. Align the right heel with the left heel. Firm your thighs and turn your right thigh outward, so that the center of the kneecap is in line with the center of the right ankle.
Exhale and turn your torso to the right until you�re facing directly out over the right leg; as you do this, lift your left heel off the floor and spin on the ball of the foot until the inner left foot is parallel to the inner right foot. Then exhale again and bend your right knee. If possible, bring the right thigh parallel to the floor. Keep your left leg active by pressing the thigh up toward the ceiling and extending strongly through the left heel. At the same time, resist the lift of the left thigh by pressing the tailbone toward the pubis.
With another exhale turn further to the right and lean the torso down, placing the left hand on the floor inside the right foot. Dig your right thumb into the right hip crease and push the thighbone down toward the floor. Firm the shoulder blades into the back ribs and lean the torso back slightly, away from the inner thigh. Stay in this position for a few breaths.
If this position seems challenging enough, stay for the recommended time. If you want to go further, bend your left elbow and bring it to the outside of the right knee. Resist the knee and elbow against each other. If possible, straighten your left elbow and reach the hand toward the floor (if you can�t reach the floor, support your hand on a block). You can keep your right hand on your hip, or stretch it over the back of the right ear with the palm facing down. Then turn your head to look at the right arm. As in all twists lengthen and soften the belly, extend the spine with each inhalation, and increase the twist as you exhale.
Stay for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Inhale to come up, exhale to release the twist. Reverse the feet and repeat for the same length of time to the left. Then return to Tadasana.
Anatomical Focus
- Legs
- Ankles
- Groins
- Chest
- Lungs
- Shoulders
- Spine
- Abdomen
Therapeutic Applications
- Constipation
- Infertility
- Low backache
- Osteoporosis
- Sciatica
- Strengthens and stretches the legs, knees, and ankles
- Stretches the groins, spine, chest and lungs, and shoulders
- Stimulates abdominal organs
- Increases stamina
- Improves digestion and aids elimination
- Improves balance
Contraindications and Cautions
- Headache
- High or low blood pressure
- Insomnia
If you have any neck problems, don�t turn your head to look at the top arm; instead look straight ahead with the sides of the neck lengthened evenly, or look down at the floor.
Beginner's Tip
Beginners often have difficulty maintaining their balance in this pose, especially with the back heel lifted off the floor. To improve your balance, support your heel, either by standing it on a sandbag or thick book, or by bracing it against a wall.
You can perform this pose with your hands in a modified Anjali Mudra (Salutation Seal). Perform steps 1 through 4 in the main description above. Press the bent elbow against the outside of the bent knee, but don�t straighten the arm. Then bend the top elbow and press your palms together. You probably won�t be able to touch your thumbs to your sternum, as you do in traditional Anjali Mudra. Open your elbows wide, stretching your bottom elbow toward the floor, the top elbow toward the ceiling. Use the pressure of the elbow against the knee and the palms against each other like a crank to increase the twist in the upper back.
Modifications and Props
Here�s an exercise that will help you deepen the twist in this pose by modifying it in an unusual way. Perform steps 1 through 3 in the main description above, with a block underneath the bottom hand. Shift onto the outside edge (little-toe side) of the back foot, and walk the block away from the inner foot about 12 to 18 inches. Lean the torso back away from the inner bent leg, as if doing a backbend, and on an exhalation, twist the front of the torso to face up at the ceiling. You can press the free palm against the sacrum, or stretch the arm over the back of the top ear.
A partner can help you deepen the twist in this pose. Perform the pose with the outside of your back leg and hip braced against a wall (for the purposes of this description we�ll say you�re twisting to the right with your left leg and hip on the wall). Have your partner sit on the floor outside your right thigh and hip, facing you. She should press one foot against your outer thigh, just above the knee, and the other foot against your right hip (now the pelvis is squeezed between your partner�s foot and the wall). Reach your left arm out toward your partner. She should grasp the forearm and gently tug the arm toward her as she pushes her feet on the thigh and hip. Have her pull according to your capacity.
Preparatory Poses
Most of the standing poses are appropriate preparations for this challenging standing twist, especially Parivrtta Trikonasana. You might also try wide-open groin poses like Baddha Konasana and Upavistha Konasana; thigh stretchers like Virasana and its reclining variation; and hip openers like Gomukhasana.
Follow-Up Poses
Parivrtta Parsvakonasana is a good preparation for a standing pose like Garudasana, and for sitting cousins such as Gomukhasana, Bharadvajasana, and Marichyasana III.
Deepen The Pose
Advanced students will want to keep the back heel as much as possible on the floor. Be sure to rotate the back foot in more than you do for most other standing poses, about 45 to 60 degrees. Take a little support under the back heel if needed at first.

It's Miller Time in Alaska
by Charles Lemos, Wed Sep 01, 2010 at 01:30:36 AM EDT
Senator Lisa Murkowski has conceded the GOP primary to the Tea Party extremist Joe Miller, a West Point grad with a Yale law degree in private practice up in Fairbanks.
The story in the New York Times:
Mr. Miller shocked the political establishment here and in Washington last week when he emerged with a narrow lead, 1,668 votes, after the primary vote, on Aug. 24. His victory makes him the presumed favorite to win the Senate seat from this heavily Republican state.
Mr. Miller, who has proposed drastic cuts in federal spending, had trailed badly in local polls in the weeks before the election but benefited from a last-minute flood of advertisements, mailings and automated calls casting Ms. Murkowski as a Democrat in disguise. An abortion-related ballot measure also brought conservatives to the polls.
Many people said Ms. Murkowski's failure to respond aggressively to Mr. Miller's attacks, including some that distorted her voting record, had played an important role in her defeat. But she suggested on Tuesday that she had no regrets.
"I'm so proud of the campaign that we conducted," she told reporters at her campaign headquarters here as dozens of friends and family members surrounded her and cheered. "It was honest. It was upright. It was energetic. It was what a campaign in Alaska should be."
"We stayed on the high road," Ms. Murkowski said. "We talked about how we move the state of Alaska forward."
Her concession followed the counting of about 17,000 additional ballots in the race on Tuesday, which left Mr. Miller with a lead of 1,630 votes out of about 104,000 cast. Several thousand more votes were to be counted on Friday, but the trend suggested Ms. Murkowski would not gain enough ground to win.
"Based on where we are right now, I don't see a scenario where the primary will turn out in my favor," she said.
It's certainly a feather in Sarah Palin's cap. Another Republican who was beyond ecstatic was South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint. He issued a short statement calling Miller's win "a wake-up call."
Joe Miller's victory should be a wake-up call to politicians who go to Washington to bring home the bacon. Voters are saying 'We're not willing to bankrupt the country to benefit ourselves.'"Now it's time for Republicans to unite behind Joe Miller and help him win this important race in November. I'm proud to announce that the Senate Conservatives Fund will add Joe Miller to its list of endorsed candidates, and will immediately begin working to raise support for his campaign."
Joe Miller now faces Scott McAdams, the former mayor of Sitka. A Public Policy Polling survey released Sunday showed McAdams trailing Miller by only 8 points in a two-way race, 39 percent to 47 percent. McAdams would not fared as well if he had run against Murkowski. That same poll showed Murkowski leading McAdams, 60 percent to 28 percent.
There had been talk of replacing McAdams with a higher profile Democratic candidate but Senator Mark Begich and the Alaska Democratic Party have reaffirmed their support. The key now is raising at least a million dollars to run an effective campaign. McAdams had raised less than $10,000 as of his last FEC filing.
Miller is perhaps the most extreme candidate running this cycle and that's quite a statement given the likes of Sharron Angle, Rand Paul and Marco Rubio. Miller wants to eliminate the Departments of Education and Energy. He believes that unemployment insurance and Medicaid are unconstitutional and has called for sweeping cuts to Medicare and Social Security with a goal of phasing them out entirely in favor of total privatization. He wants to ban all abortions, even in the case of rape or incest. And while he favors deep spending cuts to social safety net programmes, the former combat veteran of the first Gulf War does not think the defense budget should be cut.
"If we have one nuclear bomb or one chemical weapon go off in one of our cities overnight, it changes the face of this nation and in a horrific way, not just in loss of life, but in loss of freedom, the impact financially," Miller told the Fairbanks News Miner. "We still haven't recovered from 9/11. We can't afford to have a military that isn't that strong, but that doesn't mean we can't have efficiencies, and I think that's what the secretary is trying to build."

New Dan Radcliffe, Katie Leung, and David Yates Interview on Order of the PhoenixOotP Film
There is a new interview today with Dan Radcliffe (Harry), Katie Leung (Cho Chang) and director David Yates, who all discuss filming for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Several new pieces of information are included in this lengthy interview, including that the tapestry prop for Grimmauld Place was "designed by J K Rowling herself." Along with mentions of the new sets and filming scenes such as those with Umbridge and the Centaurs, the two actors and new director reflect on the tone of the newest Harry Potter movie. They also discuss the filming of the kiss between Harry and Cho. Some highlights:
From director David Yates on his approach to making OotP:
"I think what the producers were looking for when they asked me to do this was to make sure we had a story that felt emotionally rich and thatâs what Iâm trying to bring to it.
Itâs probably a little more emotional than the others; itâs a little more grown up, inevitably because of the story.
And in terms of the reality of magic itâll feel a bit more raw and edgier, darker and tougher than the others. In terms of my contribution, Iâd say it would be to kind of grow the films up as the books are growing up."
Dan Radcliffe and Katie Leung both describe filming the scene where Harry gets his first kiss. Katie says that "Daniel is a good kisser, I really enjoyed it." Daniel goes on to say of the moment: "It was fun; me and Katie â we were awkward and nervous at first but once we got it, it was fine." Oh, and when asked how many takes did they make to get the scene finally right, Dan answered "Probably on the thirtieth."
Finally, the article covers Dan Radcliffe's upcoming role in the stage production of Equus, who also notes that he is taking "taking a year out from school next year and then weâre going to sort of look at it all again the year after that." in terms of deciding on filming schedules for future Potter movies. Dan says of working on the stage:
Itâs going to be nerve-wracking, but itâs going to be incredibly exciting, itâs a new challenge. Itâs something Iâve never done before. Iâve been voice training â learning to project my voice.
Most actors go from drama school to the stage and then into film. But Iâm sort of doing it the other way around. Iâm going from film to stage. And so itâs an unorthodox way of doing it, but itâs going to be quite exciting.
You can read the entire interview via this link. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix will be released next July. Thanks much to Page and Jenna for the heads up!

There is never a physical justification for a basis change. As you should know changing bases does not change any of the actual physics, it is always for mathematical reasons that basis changes are performed, for example making calculations easier or some things easier to see., there is no physical justification for the above basis change.
Besides, justification is in the result. And in the case of the simpler one in post 32, to test your level of knowledge on the subject as it was a complete give-away.
Huh? Here is someone:Also, show that someone else (rather than you) elected to stick the Schwarzschild radius into the Minkowski metric.
So you might as well ask yourself the same questions, maybe you'd see how silly they are.

OLD WESTBURY, N.Y. — Being chained as a 10-year-old for more than two weeks in a coffin-size box in a suburban New York dungeon was, Katie Beers says 20 years later, "the best thing that happened to me" because it allowed her to escape a life of abuse.
On the 20th anniversary of her ordeal, Beers has co-written a book with a television reporter who covered her kidnapping. "Buried Memories: Katie Beers' Story" (Title Town Publishing) has a happy ending.
Beers is now a 30-year-old married mother of two who earned a degree in business management and works in insurance sales near her home in rural Pennsylvania.
Her kidnapping attracted nationwide attention in early 1993, when revelations surfaced while she was still missing that she had suffered years of neglect from her mother and had been repeatedly sexually assaulted by her godmother's husband since she was a toddler.
Beers was described in Dickensian terms back then — a louse-infested, filthy waif who had no friends and often was forced to lug the family's laundry down the block or fetch cigarettes and junk food for her elders.
After kidnapper John Esposito, a family acquaintance, admitted to detectives on Jan. 13, 1993, that he had kidnapped Beers and showed them the dungeon where she was hidden for 17 days under his Bay Shore, N.Y., home, the little girl was placed in foster care and raised in a comfortable East Hampton home with four siblings.
Her foster parents not only imposed newfound discipline into her life, making her go to school regularly and do small chores around the house, but they also shielded Beers from intense media interest. And reporters largely complied with a parent-like plea from a prosecutor to leave her alone.
"We as a society must protect this child, or our professed love for own children is just a fraud, and our so-called compassion for each other is just a mockery," said James Catterson, at the time the Suffolk County district attorney.

Savory Beef Sandwiches Recipe
Before heading to work in the morning (I'm a dental assistant), I'll get this going in the slow cooker. Then it's all ready to serve - usually with hard rolls and potato salad or another salad - as soon as my husband and I walk in. When my son - one of three children...24, 22 and 19 - moved to another state recently, I cut up beef roast in smaller portions, repackaged it and sent seasonings for a two-person slow cooker as his housewarming present. -Lynn Williamson, Hayward, Wisconsin
- 1 tablespoon dried minced onion
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
- 1 teaspoon dried marjoram
- 1 teaspoon celery seed
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 boneless beef chuck roast (3 to 4 pounds), halved
- 8 to 10 sandwich rolls, split
- Combine seasonings; rub over roast. Place in a 5-qt. slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until meat is tender. Shred with a fork. Serve on rolls. Yield: 8-10 servings.
Editor's Note: No liquid is added to the slow cooker. The moisture comes from the roast.

I really liked these sandwiches. Eating the meat by itself it was a little too salty, so next time I will probably decrease the salt by about half. I cooked a 1 1/2 pound roast (not halved) in a 4 qt. slow cooker and it was done after about 3 1/2 hours.

This is excellent!! My husband would eat the whole thing, if he could...I've found that using a 4 to 5 lb. roast works well, too...

Jim Crane took over as owner of the Houston Astros on Nov. 17.
He didn't wait very long to begin changing things in the executive offices. According to the team's website, team president Tal Smith and general manager Ed Wade were fired Sunday:
In a statement released by the club, team president and CEO George Postolos said assistant general manager David Gottfried will serve as interim general manager but is not a candidate for the permanent position.
"With the change in ownership, we would like a fresh start in baseball operations," Postolos said in the statement. "We have told Ed Wade and Tal Smith that we are making a change. We recognize their dedication to the Houston Astros. We thank each of them for their significant contributions and many years of service to the Astros, and wish them our very best as they pursue new opportunities."
Smith had been part of the Astros for much of their existence; he joined them in 1960, before they even took the field and when they were still named "Colt .45s", and was with them most of the time from then until 1980. He returned to the team in 1993 when Drayton McLane bought the club.
Wade was hired as GM in 2007 and although the Astros had some good Septembers that made their overall record in his first couple of years look decent, they hit rock bottom in 2011 with the worst record in franchise history, losing 106 games.
