The actress was just one of many leading ladies who chose plume-effect details on their frocks to launch the romcom

Accompanied by husband Cash Warren, Jessica Alba conjured up images of a peacock in her vivid green minidress
Photo: © Rex
First it was all about black, then shades of cool blue, now a new red carpet fashion trend has flown in to Hollywood.
This week, at the US premiere of Valentine's Day, the leading ladies of the film stepped out in frocks featuring plumes or feather-effect details.
Leading the way was Anne Hathaway, gorgeous in an electric blue minidress adorned with feathers around the bust.
Also working the look was Jessica Alba, who conjured up images of a peacock in her vivid green minidress. The pretty brunette, attended with her music executive husband Cash Warren, and she wasn't the only one there with her other half.
Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher were stealing loving looks on the red carpet. And Demi's strapless dress also had a feathered effect trim.
She's apparently rekindled her romance with Justin Timberlake, but Jessica Biel stepped out solo at the launch of the ensemble romcom this week.
The 27-year-old star wasn't short on admiring glances, though, as she donned a stunning one-shouldered red and white gown.
Valentine's Day follows ten interconnecting love stories set in New York. And the common theme is the pressures brought by the most romantic day of the year.
More Valentines fun in our love special.

Thanks for posting this, I absolutely love St Petersburg and this sounds fantastic... sigh
Updated the first post with more info.
I'll be uploading tons of drawings and pictures of the academy soon.
Thanks for organizing all the good notes from the other thread Found this awesome blog with alot of repin's portraits. Do you want me to upload them or do you want to control how to present the pictures.

By all means upload anything you want from Repin himself or from the Repin Academy
Thanks for the link, some I've never seen from Repin.
thanks for starting this thread, I've been considering doing it, but never got to it, so you did all this work for me, great!
I am seriously cosidering organizing another one month summer workshop at the Repin Academy in Petersburg.
This is a great way to familiarize yourself with the teaching methods of the academy in case you decide to apply there. And it's good to take by itself since the amount of knowledge coming out of there is tremendous.
Here are the links to our 2005 and 2006 workshops
I will be posting specifics of this summer workshop later, but it will be similar to the ones in 2005 and 2006.
For those of you who are new to this thread, I strongly suggest that you read my postings in realism versus construction thread.
more photos from the Repin Academy.

Thanks for posting Lena! Those nude paintings on the wall in the fourth picture look really good!
Btw, do you want me to add more information in the first post about the academy? If so let me know.
yes, add whatever you think is useful, I have tonns of stuff, but it takes time, so if both of us keep adding, we could make a nice thread.
By the way, just wanted to clarify on the pictures.
All the ones of the studio setups I belive are from the 3-5 year studio run by Professor Nikolai Blokhin. I think a while ago I posted his very short drawing video demonstration link, where he draws a girl in a beret.
He only teaches drawing there, the painting professor is Pesikov (older man and the President of the Academy). This studio has been considered as a weaker one for a while, since the monumental one took all the A students, but now it's getting better, because the monumental studio stylization is getting a little bit too much for some students.
The diploma piece is definitely from the monumental studio, it's hard to see it unfortunately, the photo is so small.
He has a personal website.
Here you can find 3 videos about him including the one with the portrait.
He has some very nice drawings on his website I must say. Here are some of them.
Edit: The last one is a portrait of another Repin Graduate named Vitold Smukrovich

This is obviously a Repin Academy student during 3rd year summer practice, which is copying at a major museum. This one is working at the Hermitage at the famous Italian room.
Here is another painting teacher at the Repin Academy.
Arsen Kurbanov
Born 1969, in Makhachkala, Daghestan.
1988 graduated from Dzhemal Art College, Makhachkala.
1994 graduated from I.E. Repin Institute for Painting, Sculpture and Architecture.
Since 2008 in the teaching staff of easel painting department of the I.E. Repin Institute.

Such amazing art. It would be great to one day go there.

Thank you Jonas for posting Arsen Kurbanov's pictures. Just one request, can you make them a little smaller so that you dont' have to scroll to see the whole painting?
Professor Kurkov is a second year drawing teacher at the sculpture department. He teachers sculpture students. Here is one of his drawings.
Amazing. Didnt know Nikolay blokhin have a website. His stuff is mind-blowing!!...
Arsen Kurbanov is also amazing. Love to see more painting by the current repin professors.

I was amazed too when I saw the drawings by Nikolay and the paintings by Kurbanov. Its proof that there is still amazing work done at the academy. The quality may have been in a decline the last ten or twenty years but its still amazing, havent seen anything near this level from most if not all similar schools around the world.
I also have the feeling we havent seen much from the current work done at the academy either by students or professors, especially paintings. I bet there are tons of amazing paintings in there.
came across these photos, these are student copies done at the Hermitage, third year summer practice.
cool photo of the building
Thanks for posting lena!
Here are some amazing studies by Repin himself. I'm in awe of his work, it seriously is some of the best work ive ever seen.
More to come soon from Repin.
these are great studies, I have never seen them before myself, thank you for posting, Jonas.
hey guys, thanks for this thread! I am still adamant on attending Repin. I'm in a good situation now, where I can save up and prepare for the trip over. I'll keep everyone updated on my mission to get over there.
Anyways, here's a site with most of Repin's work. Amazing!
take care,

This guy is trying to make a name for himself. I'm not impressed. He's the same reporter who tried to "create" a story last season by asking Jim Mora how he's going to prevent his players from responding to the Bucs dirty tactics. Over and over and over. When I see Jay Glazer, its time to switch to CBS.
Where's Huggy Bear when you need him?
the only guy i listen to for rumors is adam shefter..
My GOD! We're all UNITED on this one! LOL STOP THE PRESSES!This doesn't happen often folks. Glazer's "comments" about the Bucs FO "lying" are as outrageous as his clothes and as relevant to good sports writing as a to press conference is to national security.
Glazer's way of saying, "See, I told ya the Bucs were doing a fire sale!! See, I told ya!! Look at ME, I told ya!!!"If you REALLY care about Jay then call 1-800-EAT-SH!T !!

The deadline to send your Christmas presents is drawing near. UPS alone expects to deliver more than 500 million packages in the weeks leading up to Christmas.
As many of us will watch our door steps for a package this Christmas, someone else may be watching too. We found out how you can protect your presents from thieves.
Wednesday we followed UPS driver Eric Leonard on his Cape Coral route. He says during peak season, he can make anywhere from 270 to 300 stops.
"I go door to door and one stop after the next until we get the day done," he said. "The increase in volume this year is 10 to 15-percent higher than last year."
But leaving boxes on doorsteps makes them a possible target for thieves.
"I communicate with my customers, if they aren't going to be home I find a good place to leave packages," Leonard said.
Charlotte Goebel says she receives at least five packages a month.
"It's exciting it's almost like Christmas everyday!" she said.
But she doesn't worry about them disappearing.
"They set it behind the pillars in the front and a lot of times I am home so I'm here when the deliveries are made," Goebel explained. There are a number of things people can do to make sure their gifts get to the right place. You can coordinate with your driver for a certain pick-up time or have it dropped off at the neighbor's house, if you know they'll be home. Having it delivered to your work is another option.
People can also sign up for a signature required service.

MARYVILLE (WATE) - A local church is doing its part to help its community. The church - RIO Revolution in Blount County - caught our attention recently with its work to get prom dresses to girls who would've had a hard time paying for one on their own. Kristina Killebrew and Jessica Hannah came up with the idea for a prom dress giveaway.It was so successful the first weekend, they extended it to a second weekend. Their work has helped dozens of young girls.
"For me it was so much more than just that, because once you get a family in and help them with a dress, you hear their heart and their need," said Hannah."Whatever it is, everybody has a different need and our goal is to reach out and figure out what those needs are and being there, so we can love on them," said Killebrew.The RIO Revolution Church is six years old. It started with a congregation of just 39 with services held at a local high school.
In November, they moved into a new facility, the growth of the church beyond anyone's imaginings.
"It started relatively small, but it's grown to be one of the larger churches in Blount County in just a few years," said Pastor Pacer Hepperly.Pastor Hepperly says from the beginning, the church focused on needy children in the area.
From prom dresses to new shoes, to weekend meals, the church has led the way to help hundreds of children over the last several years.
Their Helping Hands ministry, for example, started with just three or 400 children involved. It now helps more than 2,500 children."I think a church needs to be relevant to the needs and one our focal points has been we're a church that nine tenths of our ministry is done outside the church walls," Hepperly said.Pastor Hepperly says RIO Revolution stands for the pursuit of radical change. Part of that change is simply to lead the way."We just need one person to stand up and say, 'I'm going to do this' and everyone wants to be a part of that. To help," Hannah said.That desire to help is truly the Spirit of East Tennessee.

Illuminator is a good poster. He sticks to his guns and makes good points. Some don\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'t like that.
In their defense, the replacement refs have gotten dramatically better.
They're switching to high school refs? When did this happen?
yea nothing like hyper boll!
The ref problem will come to a head after the first week of games - especially during a nationally televised game like MNF.

LAKE WYLIE — Kayla Melendez made it home for Thanksgiving with a day to spare. Despite, perhaps, fewer reasons than most, the family did find cause to celebrate.
"Lake Wylie people have been really helpful," said Lucia, Kayla's mom.
Kayla is 7. Last week she returned two days, three hours at a time, to Clover's Crowders Creek Elementary School, where she's in first grade. Kayla hasn't been to school lately, having made many trips to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis. That's where doctors perform an experimental treatment on the brain cancer a scan found in October. The best result yet from that treatment is a three-year window, which itself is rare.
"The worst day," Lucia said of the initial diagnosis. "Since then, it's like every day."
Kayla is a hometown girl, her family moving here from Charlotte in 2003 and from California before that. Kayla hadn't shown symptoms when mom took her for a routine check-up this fall. The doctor asked Kayla to walk a straight line. She couldn't.
"They thought she needed glasses," Lucia said.
She's taken several trips to St. Jude since. She left for one Monday. In her time home she's been the honored guest at a princess party and has been cheered with banners and cards at school. Thursday night she met with Make-A-Wish Foundation folks to see what she'd like.
A few hours before they arrived she was thinking the Bahamas, though she's been known to waffle on the issue.
But Kayla doesn't hesitate to name what she's missed most while in Tennessee.
"My brothers," she said.
Daniel, 12, is working through his sister's diagnosis while Jacob, 1, keeps her laughing. Doctors advised against bringing siblings to the hospital, to help keep their spirits high. Now they're all together. During the upcoming school break, the house will be full in a way it hasn't the past few months, which isn't to say all will be as it once was.
"They used to fight all the time," Lucia said. "Now they don't fight anymore."
An honor student, Daniel recently opened a Facebook account without asking his parents. He wanted to check the Cure For Kayla page.
Community response
Stephanie Haynes is a neighbor whose son was in Kayla's class last year. Haynes began setting up donation spots at local businesses in October and set up a bank account for people to donate to the family. She was rained out of one Saturday attempt to rally funds outside a local store, but rescheduled.
"It's amazing to see how so many people who have never met her are sending packages and cards to help her," Haynes said.
The Cure For Kayla page on Facebook has nearly 400 members. Groups are donating to the family. The Pizza Man & Games in Clover is holding a night for Kayla tonight. A biker group in Monroe, N.C., offered a $500 Christmas Eve shopping spree at a Walmart. Make-A-Wish will pay for Lucia and Kayla's trip. The biker group will pay so dad Alavaro can go, too.
Christine Goodell has a fourth-grader at Kayla's school. Goodellheard about the situation last week and quickly went into action. She set a goal to raise $5,000 in community support.
"Forty-eight hours ago I started and I've almost raised $5,000," she said Thursday morning. "Now, I'm going to raise $10,000."
Friends of the family say they can't imagine the situation facing them, but want to help however they can.
"It's a hard-working, good family," Goodell said. "I can't imagine what they're going through right now."
Home for the holidays
Kayla is braver than many. Swimming with dolphins on the Make-A-Wish trip doesn't scare her one bit. Kayla is more giving than many. Her goal for that shopping spree is to get gifts for brothers and cousins.
She's also committed. She's in physical therapy often. Her dominant left hand isn't working well, so she spent the night before returning to school practicing penmanship with her right. Kayla enjoyed all the attention she received from her medical ordeal at first, but now not so much.
A family of Jehovah's Witnesses, the Melendezes don't celebrate Christmas the way many do. But there's no bad time for a gift, Lucia said. Whether it's an online chat with a friend back home eating a Pop Tart, or actually having the whole family back home together or so many other presents offered by the community.
For now, the present is all the family has.

4.58/5 rDev +3.9%
Sampled multiple large pours into a snifter as part of a vertical at the Firestone Anniversary party at Blue Palms. Matt, the brewmaster was standing over my shoulder for much of the time, answering my questions about barrel types, blending, etc.
Comparing a fresh keg to previous bottles may not be entirely fair - though I allowed the temperature to balance out before I began making comparisons.
Cordovan and burgandy body, with dark cherry and dried blood highlights. Small light tan head with average retention for the ABV and style. Some lacing.
If as Matt says - as part of a vertical, the beer you have the least to say about may be your favorite, this may be mine - as the experience of it seems to be short-circuiting my analytic capabilities in favor of a pure emotional response.
Parabola and Bravo synergize superbly in this year's blend. Dark chewy aromatics suggest the addition of dark fruit into the oak. Beyond bourbon notes, the blend of barrels brings to mind wine, port, and a touch of brandy as well. Toffee, caramel, brown bread, and mild hops are in there along with a low roast scent. "Quiet" is a good word, and yet there is still so much going on. Though some tasters may find this to be overly polite compared to 11, to me this is more artfully blended than any of the previous anniversary ales.
Like 12, dates, plums, figs, licorice, leather, and hops on the palate; however mid-palate there is quite a bit of chocolate and even some peach as well. Big tobacco notes again, but these are even more integrated into the whole. The finish remains very long and somewhat dry. Some additional element I can't put into words...
Rich velvety texture, and very slightly tannic - excellent medium-bodied feel overall. Creamier than the other anniversary ales, though this could be due to it being on draught vs. from a bottle.
Even fresh, I'd say this is the smoothest of all the anniversary ales, with the best integration of flavors. No need to wait to drink this, it is as good or better than 12 right now, and I'm not sure it will age as well as 11.

3.85/5 rDev -12.7%
Appearance - This is very dark in color, almost black, with little head owing to the high alcohol content no doubt.
Smell - There are some wonderful fruits in this nose and the coconut is especially aromatic, but the sharp alcohol takes away from the overall bouquet. It's similar to a bourbon smell, which sounds great, but just a bit heavy on the booze.
Taste - The up front fruits just explode in the mouth especially as the ale warms. This is a fruity burst of flavor like none other. The natural coconut from the nose is the stand out of this crowd. The malts are heavily roasted into a nice flavor but struggle to keep up with the fruiting.
Mouthfeel - The alcohol sting that I was expecting thankfully was not here. What I did get was a nice, very pleasant feel with a slight boozy tingle. The body of this ale is close to full with a touch of bitterness.
Drinkability - This went down surprisingly easy for such a big beer. The high ABV though came across I think a bit too much.

Pours dark brown to black with a tan head. The aroma is bourbon, roasted malts and some chocolate. The flavor is dark fruit, chocolate, some roasted malts and some oaky bourbon/vanilla notes. I also get something that reminds me of rum. A very complex beer. Low carbonation and very drinkable. Very good beer.

Pizza Port
Carlsbad, CA
(Aged for 2 years)
Dark as night black with a thin brown head. This beer looks shiny, oily, and menacing. Spotted lacing down the glass.
A wonderful aroma, and very similar to Parabola's, though this one simply isn't quite as strong. The rich bourbon, vanilla, and wood come flooding forward first, followed by sweet caramel and toffee, and a bit of coconut.
The flavors consist of wood, earth, vanilla, bourbon, coconut, and a bit of coffee and chocolate. It's delicious, and the alcohol is incredibly well hidden.
Medium to thick mouthfeel and a touch oily--absolutely coats the mouth. Luscious and lovely.
A stellar beer--near perfection.

Very dark pour... not all light-absorbing, but dark enough. A thin, dark, brown head that recedes into a thin rim.
Lots of vanilla, heat, dark malty goodness in the sniffer.
Taste is the same but I'm getting some dark fruits as well. Figs too, perhaps? Coconut, caramel and chocolate cake flavors are also coming out as this warms.
There is a ton of booze, to be expected, present. This doesn't actually hurt the drinkability all that much though as I'm taking near full gulps. It has a thin mouthfeel with decent carbonation.
This should age like a champ!

This beer pours a very dark brown, with a thin but fluffy light brown head. The head fades slowly, leaving a thick curtain of lace.
This beer has a nice nild vanilla aroma. Some chcoclate mix in as well. I can detect some bourbon aromas as well. A nice roasted malt aroma is present. It is a very well balanced aroma. Nice and complex.
This beer tastes like it smells. Vanilla up front. Some bourbon aroma mixes in with a sweet roasted flavor. This beer has a lot going on, and none of it is bad.
This beer is very full bodied. It leaves a vanilla aftertaste. Carbonation is low. Alcohol is noticable, but pretty well hidden in both the nose and flaovr of this beer.
This beer wouldnt be a great session beer. It is full bodied and aggressive, making it hard to put down. Also, the alcohol content will sneek up on you.
Overall: Wow, this is a great beer. Everyone needs to try it if they can. Firestone Walrer has yet again impressed me with this years offering.

Bottle shared by Brad - thanks!
Pours black with a half-finger tan head. The head recedes into a thin layer on top leaving decent lacing.
Smells of sweet molasses and large amounts of vanilla. Backing this up are hints of coconut and larger hints of roasted malts. As it warms mild amounts of oak enter into things and the malt flavors sweeten even more.
Tastes similar to how it smells. There's a lot going on but the profile is dominated by dark molasses and semi-sweet chocolate. Also making an appearance are good amounts of vanilla, lighter amounts of slightly roasted malts, and lighter still amounts of sweeter - almost nutty - toasted malts. The ending is on the sweet side but not overly so.
Mouthfeel is very good. It's got a nice thickness with grainy carbonation.
Drinkability is very good. I finished my glass very quickly just trying to discern all of the flavors and could easily have another doing the same.
Overall I was impressed with this effort however I have to say that it's my least favorite of the series so far (XII I haven't yet had). I really think this could benefit from a year or two in the cellar as the alcohol was a bit too pronounced and the sweetness could use some tempering. Worth trying now if you have two but if you have only one I'd recommend letting it sit for a while.

Thanks to swnicholson for the bottle!
22oz. Brown bottle poues inti a chalice.
A: poured a deep brown, almost a loose black. Decent wispy head on the pour with a little bit of retention... Lots of barrel. Some lacing.
S: Soft but rich bourbon aroma with loads of deep barrel. A good healthy smokiness holds maybe a touch of smoky bacon and covers up some of the vanilla sweetness.
T/M: Great stout flavors with plenty of barrel flavors. The bourbon and brandy blends get a bit lost but still come through at times... More of just a bigger alcohol presence. More of the smokiness and light bacon, especially as it warms. Deep, rich sweetness, molasses. Body is medium full with some Belgian light carbonation.
D: Drinks incredibly well for 12%. Very tasty brew.

22oz bottle split with BA'er thebouch01 - my portion poured into a Stone Levitation glass
A - the beer is slightly hazy, deep brown/ruby in color much like Dr. Pepper. only a short lived fawny tan foam and small ring sit atop. just a few speckled spots of lacing throughout the drink.
S - opens up wonderfully with notes of bourbon, brown sugar, molasses, and cola. more sweetness abounds with some vanilla bean, off-set and balanced wonderfully by some alcohol. warm and inviting.
T - begins with a big taste assult of bourbon, oak barrels, and vanilla sweetness. accented towwards the middle is some creamy milk chocolate, malted milk balls, and tobacco as it warms.
M - medium body with nice present and amplifying carbonation. very dry in the mouth and a bit sticky. finishes with lingering dark fruity sweetness, and warming alcohol.
D - we have a good one here. excellent example of blending beers, especially keeping barrel flavors in check and balance yet still showing them off. complex and delicious.

Huge thanks go out to murchmac (The Commish) for a great and well run Fantasty Football season this year, and this excellent bottle of potion.
Pours a pitch dark color with a light tan head that retains well, given the style, but quickly dissipates into a thick rim around the edges with some tan island skimmers. Lacing is minimal, but present.
Nose is incredibly complex, reeking of a big stouty base, vanilla and bourbony liquor notes from the barrels. Some slight woody spice and a touch of cherry are presented as well complimenting some tobacco notes that increase and develop well as the beer warms.
Well. FW is certainly having great success with their barrel room, and from what it sounds like they have put the time and effort in to do exactly that. This one opens up with large roasted grain that is quickly balanced by big vanilla and tobacco notes. Light chocolate notes come out as it warms. Vanilla also comes out more as the beer increases in temperature. Some caramel makes its presence known. Dark fruit and wood come forth towards the finish. The finish is a little bit more bitter than i expected, but not too bad. Bourbony. Pretty dry for the style, but pretty slick in general. Aftertaste is lingering vanilla and oak, with some dark fruit and fairly prominent alcohol notes.
Mouthfeel is just about ideal for the style. If anything is is ever so slightly thin for its relatively ominous abv. A little drier than i had expected. Carbonation is perfect.
Drinkability is pretty good for the beer itself, all things considered. The abv will make itself known but you had to expect that in a 12% BA'd beer, and if this ages as gracefully as every past FW anny brew has, then that will fade nicely as this beer develops into something special and another essential part of one of the beer worlds best verticals.
Overall, another impressive and exquisitely barrel aged anniversary beer from Firestone Walker. These guys put alot of effort into these anny brews and it shows. Very well done once again, and noone should be suprised this time. Easily one of the best Barrel aging outfits around. Great beer once again.

Gift to Radek, and to us. Initial impression, an imperial stout. What it is is lots of chocolate, mouthfeel on dark brown with lacey, off-wehite head, thick mouthfeel. A very smooth drinker without sharp edges. Masterful, there is coconut, chocolate, bourbon. Nothing overwhelms.

Sampled this at hoppymcgee's tasting 1/16. 3oz. pour into an 8oz. pint glass. Had alongside the 12. Reviewed from notes.
A: Gentle pour yields a .5 finger fine milk chocolate colored head. Like its brother, this one is opaque black. Lacing is spotty, stringy.
S: Nose is again, boozy. However, its more subtle than the 12. Chocolate, vanilla, oakiness dominate with a background of raisins and dried dark fruit.
T: Opens sweet and boozy but again, more subtle, but quite hot nonetheless. Dried dark fruit, raisins, a bit soy saucy. Also molasses and honey. Hops are less detectable in this beer, overcome by the strong malt profile.
M: Medium to full bodied, the feel of this beer is really what makes it. Smooth and oily in the mouth with a finish that is sweet and sticky. A very hot beer that is tempered by its body here, the feel is what allows the flavors to really come out and present themselves.
D: A highly drinkable beer more so than its counterpart. A remarkably enjoyable body with the complexity and balance to match. Maybe a bit hot at times but still very enjoyable. I wouldn't hesitate to have this again. Another very well-crafted blend from FW.

22oz bomber, obtained somewhere along the line and aged a few years
appearance: silver box, black foil - they royal treatment. served in a large unbranded snifter, nice mahogany body, creamy beige lace.
smell: rich aroma - bourbon, caramel and chocolate, wood, vanilla, decadent chocolate cake
taste: rich chocolate cake, nice level of bourbon flavor but without much of any boozy burn, creamy caramel, vanilla, wood, brown sugar, tobacco. Nice stuff - quite drinkable and extremely well balanced given the strength
mouthfeel: rich and full flavored - not overly heavy, light carbonation
overall: nice stuff - a bomber will be surprisingly easy

Firestone 13 pours a dark mahogany or chocolate fudge color. It's very dark, but not opaque. Light bleeds through at the edges revealing crimson highlights. A modest tan head covers it. It's only a finger or so tall (if that lucky), and dissipates quickly. I suspect the high abv murdered this one. Lacing was sticky, but light.
The nose is good, but isn't a stunner. It kicks off with a healthy mix of chocolate and caramel malts. The chocolate scent smells like a mix of sweet milk chocolate and bittersweet dark chocolate. I like that. Barrel aging imparted subtle notes of bourbon, vanilla, and oak. They're not all that strong though. Secondary scents are very subtle. There is a little coffee and residual earthiness. Perhaps it was somewhat hoppy fresh? Alcohol is noted, but doesn't suggest 12%. Goo d stuff.
The flavor definitely kicks it up a notch. The base is definitely a blend of chocolate and caramel malts. The chocolate variety seems stronger and includes flavors of sweet milk chocolate, cocoa, bittersweet dark chocolate. It's nothing short of delicious. I like the subtleness of the bourbon flavor. It's very flavorful, but doesn't overwhelm the other flavors at all. Oak and vanilla are also noted and complement the malt flavors nicely. There is some roasted coffee, light molasses, and pepper at the secondary level. There's a hint of hop remnants, but I'm not sure how hoppy this was initially. Alcohol is noticeable, but has apparently blended well. It's not hot, and doesn't seem like 12% at all. Finishes malty with a touch of bourbon and oak.
Firestone 13 has a medium body that definitely leans thick with warming. Feels very nice and smooth. I like it more and more with each passing degree. Drinkability is good. There's no question that this is a big, bold stout. But, it goes down easy for such a big beer. I'm mindful of the 12%, but will finish off the bomber with ease. One's enough though.
Firestone 13 is impressive. If memory serves correct, I prefer Firestone 11, but this is about on-par with Firestone 12. I can't say that it has any material shortcomings. The nose could use a little more strength, but that's about it. Once again, Firestone Walker has crafted an excellent anniversary release. Find a bottle if you can.

Appearance: Dark Brown with a little light head
Smell: Oak and Vanilla ... some faint smoke in the background
Taste: lots of malt, Vanilla, slight smoke and oak. All smells come through in taste. Its a bit hot but with some time should mellow out.
Mouthfeel: not as thick as 12, but flavor is there. Was expecting a bit more thickness to coat the mouth better. This is the only area a bit dissapointing.
Drinkability: The thin body does make it drinkable. It has a pleasant heat as it goes down but smooth. I enjoy the alcohol in this one.
This will evolve very nicely. Can't wait to revisit in 6 months

Got this bottle from Weibull during the White Whale BIF
A: Dark brown with some light able to shine through. Tan head that is a quarter inch thick and holds ok. Some lace.
S: Caramel, roastiness, smokiness, oak, vanilla, bourbon, wood. Very nice blend of flavors, all more towards the sweetside but some balance is provided by the smoke and roast. Also some chocolate
T: Nice caramel and butterscotch and chocolate notes to start, some toasted nuttiness and coconut. Mikd wood notes and some warming bourbon. There was a bit of a syrup quality to it as well.
M: Good body with not much heat, but there was almost a saplike or syrup like quality that gave it a weird chewy feel at times
D: I enjoyed this one over the course of a few hours and it was a very pleasurable experience. Probably best shared but if you have the time you can finish it on your own

Finally I get around to cracking one of my bottles open.
Pours a dark black with a tan head that dissapated to a film. Nice lacing though.
Aroma isn't that strong. But it smells IRS like. Maybe a little more malty and sweet. Lots of dark fruits.
Taste is wonderfull. Much more than the aroma and smell would suggest. Tastes RIS ish with a sweet malty backbone and dark fruit flavors thrown in. I can't wait to see what my bottles do over time.
Mouthfeel is thick so it's a sipper but man is the ABV hidden.
Makes for an easier to drink brew but is for sure a sipper. Very tasty and make sure you try this one before it's too late.

The Cult of Amazon.com
Of course, cloud computing is just one part of the Amazon technology story. It's also one of the leading streaming media companies, competing with Netflix (NFLX). Rocco Pendola says Amazon could squash Netflix "like a bug" and, even with Netflix' recent explosive run up, its one-year performance still trails that of AMZN, 41% to 30%.
But what's streaming worth? Netflix' total revenue for 2012 were about $3.6 billion. Even if Amazon did as well, that and the cloud business are still just gnats on the balance sheet elephant.
So be generous and toss in the Kindle business. Pacific Crest told Barron's Amazon might sell 10.5 million Kindle Fire tablets in 2013 . That's revenue of $2.5 billion over the course of this coming year.
In his most recent conference call, Bezos said e-book revenue were $9.19 billion. Let's call e-books tech, too, and not retailing.Now add it all up and, like I said, be generous. Add Macquarie's $3.8 billion in cloud to Netflix' $3.6 billion in streaming, toss in $2.5 billion for Kindle players and $9.2 billion in e-book revenue. That's $19 billion in technology revenue, from all sources, you can expect in 2013. Amazon.com did $21 billion in revenue during the fourth quarter of 2012 alone, Gigaom.com writes. Figure you're paying Wal-Mart's valuation on the straight retail sales, take out all its cash, about $5 billion, and you're still paying $90 billion for a tech business that may do $19 billion in business this year. That's a ratio of 4.5 times sales. There are crazier prices on the technology board. Facebook (FB) shareholders pay 18 times revenue for their shares. But you can get Google (GOOG) for 4.95 times sales, and Oracle (ORCL) for 4.52 times sales. That's real tech revenue, every dime of it. Personally, I love Amazon. I think it's worth $200/share, which by my very optimistic, back-of-the-envelope calculation still comes to a valuation comparable with that of Apple. But it's no surprise that, to people who do this for a living, Amazon's stock chart looks a lot like Netflix' from 2011, just before its fall. It's a cult classic, and investing on it at these levels could prove a very scary movie indeed. At the time of publication the author had positions in MSFT, GOOG, INTC, AAPL and COST.

Town Square
New Mayor
Original post made by Disappointed Resident on Dec 20, 2006
At last week's council meeting, the new mayor found time to allow her friend Gail Slocum to make a 20 minute non-agendized presentation of a global warming ordinance and then tried to cut off discussion regarding the reconsideration of three development projects before the council on the basis that it was after 11pm.
This week she managed to avoid any public discussion of the Utility Users Tax that she championed, instead giving staff a blank check to implement the new tax at the maximum rate as quickly as possible. After council members pontificated about the need to reform decision making, the council chose not to ask the staff ANY questions about a three page memo summarizing the implementation of what is probably the biggest new local tax in Menlo Park history.
When Councilmember Boyle suggested that perhaps the matter should be agendized to allow some public discussion about exactly how much money is needed and how it will be used prior to setting the tax rate, Vice Mayor Cohen replied, "The tax measure won by a narrow margin, you won by a narrow margin, I don't think that it is appropriate for you to bring this up."
You might think that after 49.5% of the community voted against the tax and (according to the Almanac) a majority of neighborhoods opposed it, that the new kinder, gentler, majority, would at least give the other half of the community an opportunity to express their concerns about the tax before rushing it through.
I guess some things never change.

This new council has gotten off to a very shaky start, and will have to get its act together pretty quickly if it wants to have any hope of tackling the huge issues that face this city. Looks to me as though they're waiting for a few developers to come in and tell them what to do. Any takers?
on Dec 20, 2006 at 8:53 pm
Count me among those who still think that in democracies, majorities rule, and that the utility tax won, having been approved by a majority of voters in a certified election.
Its unfortunate that "disappointed resident" missed the irony of Cohen's point: John Boyle won his council seat over Vince Bressler winning with as small a margin as that won by the utility tax. Is either Boyle or "disappointed resident" open to the position that Boyle should share his council seat with Bressler who got nearly as many votes? Did Boyle advocate a public discussion about hearing why Bressler voters should see Bressler seated instead of Boyle.
Why is it that the extremely close vote which seated Boyle is authoritative but the extremely close vote that gave the victory to the utility tax should be open to further negotation beyond the vote of the people other than that neither Boyle nor "disappointed resident" respect votes of the people when they don't produce the desired outcomes.
It is this blatant kind of intellectual dishonesty and utter disregard for the clear, sanctity of democratic processes that got the prior council un-elected. Boyle continues to show open disregard for the thousands who vote for items, and so does "disappointed resident."
Thank God this council is doing the voters will. That is what democracy is about.
on Dec 20, 2006 at 10:17 pm
The Utility Tax approval set a maximum rate that could be levied. I believe that Mr. Boyle was only asking that there be some public inpput and discussion to determine if the maximum rate was truly neccesary.

Another way to add days to your life, say experts, is by standing more and sitting less, as numerous studies have shown that sitting down for extended periods of time on a continuous basis — which most of us do — can shorten your life significantly.
In a report released by the American Heart Association and conducted by researchers from the University of California, San Diego, it was learned that too much sitting can add an increasing amount of unhealthy fat around the heart.
"We wanted to see if sitting was related to the distribution of fat, because different types of fat are worse than others," said lead study of the author Britta Larsen in a statement.
After studying more than 500 participants in the 65-year-old range, Larsen said that even if you do get enough exercise, but sit for long periods of time each day, you could be undoing a big portion of the health benefits associated with exercising, so people should really be conscious of coupling their workouts with standing more during the course of the day.
"In order to really be healthy you need to focus on both. Get enough exercise but also not sit for 10 hours per day like most of us do," said Larsen. "Sitting really is bad for your heart, so we are hoping that the workplace, especially, becomes more standup-friendly."
Which means it might be a good idea to look into in some standup work stations for your home office or workplace if you can.
Dental destiny
Very few people look forward to visiting the dentist and most times it has everything to do with a fear of pain, which is rarely as bad as most people anticipate, but avoiding the dentist, not flossing, and not brushing your teeth regularly, could lead to a bunch of potential health problems like heart disease and diabetes, a study shows.

In recent years, little has changed about horse racing. The basic premise, as it was say 15 years ago, was one horse running faster than several others and someone placing a wager on him.
That's still the name of the game, but playing the game has changed a bit.
Take trip handicapping. Back in the 1990s a trip handicapper needed a closet to store boxes of VCR tapes and a top-grade cable package.
Nowadays a trip handicapper in New York can follow races in California on a daily and scrutinize them for horses to watch simply by having an online wagering account. Most ADWs offer an extensive array of race replays so that handicappers can watch hundreds of races without adding to the clutter in your home.
Yet as accessible as replays have become these days, what to look for remains unchanged.
The key element in trip handicapping still involves spotting trouble and properly judging it.
For Bob Ehalt's Basics of Trip Handicapping piece, click here.
The mere fact that a horse ran into trouble in a race does not necessarily mean it will run well or better in his next race. A horse who is checked or stopped while finishing seventh might have been fifth with a clean trip. What good is that? Or it may have been tiring when the trouble occurred and would have finished off the board with or without an incident.
What matters most is finding horses that were truly hampered in a race and should rebound next time. For instance, if a horse is shut off at the top of the stretch then regains his best stride in the final furlong and closes quickly it's usually a positive sign that a horse is in solid form and worth a close look next time when racing luck might even out.
Wide trips could also mask a good performance. A horse that makes a strong wide move has to cover more ground than a horse that hugs the rail and is more likely to tire in the stretch than the runner inside of him due to ground loss. Therefore, a horse who makes a promising middle move, even if it doesn't pay off in the race, usually reflects an effort that's better than it looks in terms of where a horse finishes.
There are dozens of other things that can go wrong in a race, and from a betting standpoint the most rewarding prizes are the obscure ones. While the results charts from Equibase usually reflect most of the action in a race, there might be times when your eye spots more trouble than the chartcaller. If you're right, you can expect a nice payoff.
Let's face it. If a horse's result chart and past performances indicate he had trouble in the stretch you're going to get lower odds than if his comment merely said "tired."
Overall, the key element to remember in trip handicapping is that what matters most is not what happened in today's race, but rather what will happen in tomorrow's. That's when the real payoff comes for having an astute eye.

Hornets fall to Northwood in boys' hockey
NORWOOD — The Plattsburgh High boys' hockey team was unable to dig itself out of a three-goal deficit, falling to Northwood School in non-league action Saturday afternoon, 5-2.
The Huskies were able to tally consecutive goals in the final 2:42 of the opening stanza. The first from Noah Wild, while the second was credited to Tommy Kyte.
"We came out flat," Hornets (8-3) coach Jamie Reidy said. "We played at 8:15 (Friday night) and 1 o'clock (Saturday) and I think we were a little fatigued. Their first two goals were missed assignments in the defensive zone."
Following Matt Headland's goal to extend the differential to three, Eric Bechard tallied his third point of the weekend on a goal at the 9:14 mark.
"We carried play in the second and third periods," Reidy said. "I was happy with our effort and showed no quit, but we've got to come ready to play for all three periods."
Jack Tolosky was the second and final goal scorer on the afternoon for Plattsburgh High, notching a marker at 5:34 of the final stanza.
"We hope to learn from our mistakes," Reidy said. "We've got a short bench right now, but the intensity was there throughout. This was the first time in 11 games that we've allowed more than two goals."
Robby Knowles was credited with the loss between the pipes, fending off 19 of 24 shots faced.
Both Tolosky and Alex Maston were named to the All-Tournament team.
The Hornets travel to Lake Placid Wednesday for a highly-anticipated Champlain Valley Athletic Conference bout.

ALBANY — Despite a scoreless first period, the Beekmantown girls' hockey team was able to tally two second-period goals in a 2-0 non-league win over Skaneateles.
Katie Mattot helped the Eagles get on the board with the game-winning goal at 5:24 of the middle stanza before senior forward Ashley Terry could extend the differential to two at 9:07.
"It's our second consecutive game on the road, but the girls picked it up in the second period," Beekmantown coach Ray Guay said. "The girls had a good weekend, picking up two victories. Kayleigh Bell played well in net and defensively, we had a good game. We played better as the weekend progressed. We'll adjust and keep plugging away."
Clara Giroux finished with two assists, while Bell earned the shutout, fending off 11 shots.
