Florida State's Bobby Bowden: Coaching Genius Or Not?
Posted by William Kristoph
By NoleCC
Bobby Bowden. What do you think when you hear those two words? Great coach? Great man? Good ol' boy? Not in charge?
It depends. Seminole fans, in general, cheer Bowden's name when it's spoken and they're quick to tell you how great Coach Bowden is at what he does. They'll spout off about what he's built at Florida State University and how the football program was almost killed off 30 years ago because it was awful. Nole fans are quick to come to his defense about anything other than his son Jeff Bowden, and most call him one of the best "closers" in recruiting to ever live.
But is he really a coaching genius like I've heard from a lot of fans, Seminole or not?
What defines a genius? Is it a statue? Is it a field named after him? Is it the amount of money brought in to a program or the amount of talent he can recruit? Is it an innovator is his field?
According to Wikipedia a genius "is a person of great intelligence, who shows an exceptional natural capacity of intellect, especially as shown in creative and original work." I can't comment on Bowden in fields other than football, so basically the question that remains is does Bobby Bowden fit that definition on a football field?
No He Isn't
He doesn't use his roster well - How many QBs haven't worked out at FSU recently? Xavier Lee, Adrian McPherson, Jared Jones… the list gets very long. How many times has the 2nd string running looked better than the 1st string? How many times were slacking Wide Receivers given the job?
Over the years a few great college football players can make any man look like a genius. Chris Weinke was basically an extra coach on the sidelines. Charlie Ward was the best all-around athlete at FSU, and Peter Warrick was head-and-shoulders about his collegiate competition. Many coaches could win a ton of games with talent like that.
His assistants did much of the work – Mark Richt and Brad Scott coordinated the best offenses in FSU history. Richt has brought Georgia back into the national spotlight. Even a better point, when FSU lost an embarrassing BCS Title game to Oklahoma, it was Richt who didn't have a backup plan for the 2nd half, evidently neither did Bowden.
He ran a very traditional offense - The I-Formation isn't exactly rocket science. It's flexible, and lets you take what the defense gives you. When times are tough, Bowden heads straight for it. Brad Scott realized and coaxed Coach Bowden into letting him use the "fast-break" with Charlie Ward, to showcase his talents and maximize the FSU offense. Bowden didn't invent an entirely new offense, doing so would push him over the edge of genius immediately.
It's always been Mickey's Defense – Defense win championships, and Mickey Andrews has been in sole control of that unit forever. When the Noles are good on defense, they're in a ballgame. Only 1 game immediately comes to mind when the offense bailed out the defense (Weinke vs. GT's Joe Hamilton at Doak), whereas the defense has shut down teams in the 2nd half so many times I lose count. (Miami in 1999, Florida in 1998, Texas A&M in 1998, Ohio State 1997).
Yes He Is
The stats don't lie – Football is a team sport, yes, but Bobby Bowden is the head of a dynasty that finished in the AP Top 5 for 14 straight years. That's not easy to do, and it means your team won a lot of big games. It means, if nothing else you oversaw everything, handled all of the player "issues" that arise over a season and had Boosters and fans loving every minute of it, happy to open their checkbooks. Bowden's success helped grow Florida State University as a whole. It's a case of trickle-down economics actually working.
He's bright enough to have brilliant assistants around him – Bowden, although not always at the direct helm of the offense or defense, is bright enought to hire guys that take care of business. The downfall of FSU Football in recent years, was because he didn't admit that he hadn't surrounded himself with the best available staff. Sorry Jeff, you might have been bright enough to get a big buyout, but you couldn't run the offense like Mark or Brad (Jimbo is to-be-decided).
He designed some of the best trick plays use in college football - A genius innovates, and if there's one spot that Bobby Bowden innovated it was trick plays that work. Puntrooskie? Check. Warrick Dunn throwing passes? Check. Peter Warrick lining up everywhere? Check.
Alright readers, I want to hear comments. This is meant to get a discussion going. I don't argue that Bowden is a winner, a good man, or a good coach. But is he really a Football Genius? Did he just take advantage of also-bright coaches around him? Was he a genius in the 70s, 80s and not in the 90′s and 00′s? Leave comments, let me know!

No amount of preparation will help a community avoid severe damage during an event like an EF-5 tornado. The one that hit Moore left a mile-wide path of destruction over a 50-mile long course, causing more than $1 billion in damage. It remains one of the costliest tornados on the books, though it was far surpassed by the monster EF-5 tornado that struck Joplin, Mo., in May 2011, wiping out a third of that city and causing an estimated $2.8 billion in damage.
In Moore, Kitch says the city, which lost more than 800 homes, spent about six weeks on initial clean up. New homes were up within a year. A study three years later estimated the worst hit areas were 84 percent recovered.
Now, Kitch said, you wouldn't even know those places had been leveled.
As for the future, he said, "We have tornadoes here in Oklahoma. That's just a given." And people have to know what they're going to do when the next one hits.

Lemon-Ginger Barbecued Ribs Recipe
Although my husband does most of the cooking for us, the kitchen is all mine on weekends! I was inspired to make this recipe for a family member who's allergic to tomatoes.
- 8 pounds pork baby back ribs, cut into serving-size pieces
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup lemon juice
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 4 garlic cloves, peeled
- 2 tablespoons ground ginger
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon dried basil
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon pepper
- 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1-1/2 teaspoons paprika
- 3/4 cup canola oil
- Place the ribs in two shallow roasting pans; add water. Cover and bake at 325° for 2 hours.
- For sauce, in a blender, combine the lemon juice, corn syrup, garlic and seasonings; cover and process until blended. While processing, gradually add oil in a steady stream.
- Drain ribs. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Spoon some of the sauce over ribs.
- Grill, uncovered, over medium-low heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 8-10 minutes or until browned, turning occasionally and brushing with sauce. Serve remaining sauce with ribs. Yield: 8 servings.

Target reached to mend Rossendale church spire
4:30pm Friday 14th December 2012 in News
CHURCHGOERS in Ramsbottom are celebrating after reached their fundraising target to fix a faulty spire.
The spire at the 162-year-old St Paul's Church of England Church in Bridge Street was found to have serious decay by surveyors in May 2011.
And since the 'Aspire for Ramsbottom' campaign was launched last October, the town has rallied round and helped the congregation reach its revised target of £15,000 needed to repair the structural damage.
The original target of £10,000, which was reached in June, was increased after architects' costs turned out to be greater than expected.
Alan Lumsden, who has been involved in the fundraising, said it was amazing for the campaigners to have achieved their goal.
He said: "It's great news that we have reached our target, the paperwork has been submitted to the (Church of England) authorities and hopefully the restoration work will begin in the spring.
"We've received amazing support from individuals, businesses and organisations as we have tried to raise funds to preserve the only remaining spire in our town.
"We expected it to take a lot longer than this to reach the target so to do so just before Christmas is a great present for everyone here.
"The Church of England faculty still has to inspect the documents we've submitted but the plan is to start the work when it isn't as cold and from there it should take a few weeks.
"Hopefully we can preserve this landmark for generations to come."
A huge banner has adorned the side of the church tower sporting the appeal's catch phrase 'Save Our Spire' for more than a year.
The top four metres of the 10m spire need to be completely rebuilt and the rest of the spire requires extensive re-plastering.
New stainless steel fixings will be installed to hold in place the spire's weather vane, which has been damaged by wind and rain for decades.

Ask Rodkin: Is Our Agent Overpricing Our South Loop Condo?
A look at the factors that go into figuring out a fair price on a piece of property.
Photo: Alex Garcia / Chicago Tribune
Q. Dennis, we own a 2 BD/2 BA, condo in a loft building in the South Loop. We bought a home in the western burbs [and rented the condo out]. We've had issues with our renters, so we want to move quickly to sell the condo.
The market has been so wacky and there are no real comps. Our real estate agent is using another home that's for sale on our floor as a comp. Next to a different layout, better view, and indoor parking (we have outdoor parking), it's roughly the same square footage, is well-maintained, and has some nice upgrades like our home does.
This "comp" on our floor went on the market in July for $358k. They have since lowered the price to $348k. Our agent is suggesting we price our unit at $336k.
Has the market really improved that much to be asking this price? I originally thought the fair market value of our home was around $280k! We paid $350k in April 2006. That included $30k for parking.
I have also heard real stories of folks in and around Chicago that are pricing their homes very low to gain interest and then bidding wars drive it back up to near market value. Is this really happening that often?
What would be your recommendation on a listing price? —Meghan
A: Meghan, the main thing in your question that popped out at me is the big gap between what you and your agent think the price should be. These days, when the seller is trying to make money back on an investment that has drooped, it's usually the agent who has to be the cold splash of reality and say that in today's market it's worth less than the seller hoped. You and your agent are in the reverse of those positions.
Your agent is suggesting a price that's 20 percent over what you think the home is worth. That optimistic estimate seems to be based mostly on the asking price of a neighboring condo. Here's my concern: Basing your asking price on their asking price doesn't amount to much when their asking price hasn't moved the property. Right? I mean, anybody can ask anything for a piece of property. It's what it sells for that tells you its current market value.
At their new price, they're asking what they paid for the place in 2005. They're asking to break even (approximately, not counting property taxes, moving expenses, and other costs). That may be overly optimistic of them. For the most part, Chicago-area home values, even though they've been re-building this year, aren't back to 2005 levels. According to the best index available, Case-Shiller, Chicago prices in June had only climbed back to about where they were in July 2002. (June 2012 is the latest month Case-Shiller has released.)
Now, that's a region-wide index, and individual local parts of the market are doing significantly better. In the city, they include places like Wicker Park, Lake View, and Lincoln Park. But the South Loop hasn't shown signs of being one of the fast risers in this recovery.
I'm not saying your neighbors' condo won't sell for their present asking price, just that I'm skeptical. But I've been wrong before.
As of the start of 2013, prices in the South Loop (part of the Near South in this chart have fallen to 24.7 percent below where they'd been in 2006, the year you bought your condo. The South Loop may have ticked up as much as five percent since the start of the year—it's probably less, but as a seller, you can stand a little optimism. That would suggest that today's value of your $350,000 investment is now in the range of $283,000.
This is only one way to measure the value of your home. Another way would be to call in an appraiser—who, admittedly, would also suffer from the lack of comps, but who has mechanisms for adjusting for that. And I don't want to suggest that I know your building and your property better than your agent does.
But if, as you say, you want to sell the home quickly, pricing it against a home that's been slow to sell may not be the best choice. Yes, those sellers are likely to get ticked off at you for coming in so low, effectively pointing out that their price is high. But if their price is unrealistically high (and I want to emphasize the "if"), your price won't be the only signal they'll get on that.
And if your low price does attract bidders and a higher sale price results, that works out well both for you and for those neighboring sellers.
Note: After I e-mailed Meghan a longer version of this answer, she told me that the neighboring comp was taken off the market. That could indicate that the sellers figured out their asking price wasn't going to work.
What's your Chicago real estate question? Ask me! email@example.com

- New to old
According to this chart, http://www.chicagorealestatedaily.com/article/20130815/CRED0701/130819890/once-condo-bust-poster-child-south-loop-now-comeback-kid
prices in the South Loop are up 20% since the first half of 2012.
The chart cited in the response for the proposition that prices in the South Loop have fallen to 24.7 percent below where they'd been in 2006, seems to be based on 2012 data. Tacking the 20% increase from 2012 on to that number puts the value of the condo just a bit under where it was in 2006, which seems to square with the agent's recommendation.
Yes, Bluehatter, the chart I used was based on end-of-2012 data. That's specified in my response. I also said that my calculations were 'only one way' to measure the value of the condo.
The Crain's story is about a survey of large condo buildings; this seller has a loft condo in a small building. Most of the sales in that survey are new condos selling for the first time, not re-sales. My concern with that data was that it compares the new condos sold this year to the new condos sold last year. That's not necessarily a comparison that works when you're looking for a price to ask at resale.
But of course if mine is 'only one way' to evaluate the price, basing it on this information is another legitimate way.

An unusually bad flu season is now being blamed on an ineffective vaccine.
The Center for Disease Control said new numbers show the vaccine just isn't working as well as it has in the past, particularly in seniors.
The vaccine is created by doctors with the CDC who do extensive research and then they guess on what the strain will look like the next year so they can build a vaccine to fight it. Numbers show those doctors guessed wrong.
The flu shot has never been a guaranteed way to prevent the flu, but doctors said if the vaccine doesn't work right it's pretty much guaranteed to cause problems.
"If the vaccine isn't effective then what happens is, the community is at risk of getting that particular disease. In this case we've seen a lot of people with the flu," said Patricia Meadors with Piedmont Hospital.
Doctors and nurses have been extra busy at Piedmont Hospital with flu patients and sometimes the sick patients came in waves.
"It's the largest flu outbreak I've seen in my career," said Meadors.
And she said they definitely noticed one particular group coming in most.
"This year what we've seen is the elderly have been at an increase risk despite being immunized," said Meadors.
The flu season is winding down now and doctors are hoping for a better batch of vaccine next year, but they said this year's miscalculation shouldn't be a total loss.
"It helps all the researchers and drug companies that are making the vaccine. It gives a lot of information to the particular group at the CDC that does viral infection and influenza research," said Meadors.
We tried to get an interview with the CDC to find out how it was so far off on the vaccine and what it's doing to have a more successful batch next year, but they didn't make anyone available for an interview.

A 7-year-old girl has surpassed a goal that could give lots of East Texans happy feet.
A few months ago, Rachel Beets told her mother that she wanted to collect 900 pairs of shoes for her birthday, but not for herself.
Rachel wants to donate the shoes to the Henderson County Rainbow Room, a non-profit organization that helps clothe children in Child Protective Services' custody.
People across the country pitched in and donated 946 pairs of shoes. Rachel's birthday is January 31, so she will continue to collect shoes until that deadline.

I just read over on O'Reilly's Linux blog that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadenijad has a blog but is spreading malware with it, albeit only to IP addresses that come from Israel. Amazing, but guarantees that Silicon Valley will continue gaining a steady stream of good developers and technical folks from Iran. The Iranian community here is quite large and very influential.
Update: turns out this story was false. Sorry for passing along a hoax.

Fitness gifts aren't for everyone, of course, but if there's an exerciser in your life, chances are there's something he or she wants to make workouts more efficient and more fun. If you need gift ideas for the fitness enthusiast in your life, below are some thoughts on what exercisers really want this year. From heart rate monitors to fancy towels, you'll find it here.
1. Heart Rate Monitor
A heart rate monitor is an excellent tool for any exerciser who wants to get the most out of his or her workout. There are a variety of options out there, but you'll definitely want one that has a heart rate strap so your exerciser can see a continuous heart rate at a glance. If he's a gear head, he might want a fancy GPS model which can track pace, location, speed etc. If she's into fitness and counting calories, she might enjoy a lighter version, like the Polar F6.
2. Armband Heart Rate Monitor
3. TRX Suspension Training
If you have friends or family who love to try new and challenging workouts, the TRX Suspension System offers just that. This network of straps connects to a door or ceiling (with an anchor) and allows the exerciser to leverage his own body weight for a variety of strength, endurance and power exercises. What's great about the TRX is that it's different, it allows you to work your body with very little equipment and you can take it anywhere. Prices vary, but it's usually around $140 to $190. The package comes with everything you need - The strap system, a wall/ceiling anchor and a variety of videos. There's also a package with the door anchor included, which is more travel friendly.
4. Hydryx Workout Towel
OK, so giving someone a workout towel seems a little lame. But this towel is actually pretty cool...literally. Once you take it out of the included tube, it instantly cools to help keep your workouts more comfortable. It's great for the gym, which can get steamy with all that body heat, or for summertime workouts as well. What a great idea and a perfect choice for the exerciser who has everything.
5. Thorlos Experia Socks
We probably all have that one person (hello, grandma) who gives us socks every year for birthdays or other holidays. In fact, many of us let our socks fall apart, waiting for the holidays when we know we'll get to stock up. If you're the sock recipient, ask for these Thorlo Experias, my all time favorite workout socks. I normally don't spend much time raving about socks, but these are excellent for any activity. They have padding at all the right places - The heel and the ball of the foot, while the rest of the sock is thinner, yet supportive. They breathe well, stay in place and offer padding without the bulk.
6. Kettlebells
Kettlebells are the latest trend in fitness and a good choice if your exerciser loves a challenge. There are a variety of kettlebell options out there, from medicine-ball like bells to basic iron models. Kettlebell training isn't easy, so he or she should have some instruction before diving into a workout. You might consider getting them a video if you're not sure of their fitness level.
7. Personal Training Sessions
Each trainer will charge a different fee for sessions, but expect to pay around $50 to $100 per session. You might want to give one or two sessions and let them decide if they want more, or offer to train with them in group sessions.
8. Gym Membership
Like other fitness gifts, a gym membership isn't for everyone. Giving someone a gym membership because you want them to workout may cause instant relationship problems (perhaps, even violence). However, if they've been talking about joining a gym, you're in the clear. Before you commit to anything, find out exactly what they're looking for - Location, amenities, classes, etc. Another option is to get them a coupon for free tours of gyms nearby and let them browse before you buy.
9. Healthy Dieter Gift Basket
This kind of gift might be more appropriate for your boss or a healthy co-worker. It's like a fruit basket, but without the bruised apples and mushy bananas. Say goodbye to the fruit baskets of old and hello to the modern version. This gift basket includes all kinds of healthy foods like green tea, soy coffee, smoked salmon, soy chips and dried fruit. It also includes a pedometer and a guided weight loss CD. At $85, it's a little pricey but this is a great, neutral gift for someone you work with.
10. Camelbak BPA-Free Water Bottle
Is a water bottle a lame fitness gift? I don't think so - but, then again, I think anything fitness-related is awesome, so you may want to get advice from someone with less of a bias. With disposable water bottles filling up our landfills, most exercisers use re-usable bottles and this Camelbak is one of my favorites. It's environmentally friendly and it has a little carrying hook, too.

PHOENIX (AP) - Federal officials are giving the public more time to comment on a proposal to protect two rare Arizona cactuses.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced its intention last year to list the Acuna cactus and Fickeisen plains cactus under the Endangered Species Act.
The agency is proposing 54,000 acres of critical habitat for Acuna cactuses in Maricopa, Pima and Pinal counties, and 49,000 acres for Fickeisen plains cactuses in Coconino and Mohave counties. Areas under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of Defense or American Indian tribes could be exempt if the agency determines that won't lead to the extinction of the species.
Additional comments on the proposal are being accepted through April 29.

Antimicrobial Cleaning Cartridge 2-Pack
Product Reviews Add your own review
As I recall, it was easy to navigate your site, the items were received in a timely manner and in good condition, and they FIT. It has been a few weeks now but as I recall your site, it was easy to use and accurate.
Thank you very much.
We have used this product now for 2 years -- changing them monthly -- for the 3 humidifiers we have in our house. It keeps the water from getting yucky inbetween weekly cleanings. It is well worth the money.
These cleaning cartridges really help extend the life of my humidifier filters - I would say they easily double the duration of each filter. Given the hardness of our tap water, this extra life is a real plus. A definite worthwhile buy!
We have water with lots of calcium and mineral deposits in my area. The water leaves a pink ring around anything white. I installed these antimicrobial cleaning cartridges with a new filter and so far they have prolonged the life of my filter as opposed to running the humidifier without the cartridge. I will probably buy them again.
these little jewels are great. always make the water clean and clear. have used one for the last 60 days, 30 days longer than suggested. highly recommended.
Great filters. I use them every winter season to keep my humidifer going. The mutti-pack is convienent and saves $$ over single purchaces. They are easy to replace and do not capture any mold smell while using. I do use the water treatment capsules in conjuction with the filters. Together they are a great product combo.
The anti-bacterial device seems to be working, I have had no problems with the humidifier.
I ordered a supply of Protec Antimicrobial Cleaning Cartridges for my humidifiers...they arrived in 2-3 days!! This sure beats going out and shopping for them!
I have never used these cartridges before, but since I have been using my first one about 3 weeks I notice that they do seem to keep the humidifier much cleaner.
My humidifiers stay clean, without mold-type build up. I am very happy to have found this product.
I have three humidfyers that I run on a daily basis. I had a throat operation because of cancer and I need the extra humidity. These help to keep the waret clean.
The cleaning cartridges seem to work well but last much longer in the cool mist humidifier rather than the warm air model by Vicks.
I bought these because the humidifier I bought is up where my daughters sleep and I wanted to keep the air as clean as possible. The filter still starts to grow stuff but it washes off easily and it doesn't really grow if I follow the instructions and rinse the filter off every time I refill it. These do seem to help.
Beware of customer service though. I had a bad experience and maybe I was just unlucky. Don't expect any confirmation on your order until it's shipped and if it's on back-order you won't find out until your order doesn't show up.
They do put out good products though if you're willing to deal with a little hassle. I would recommend any of the products I have purchased.
I was pleased with Katz. They sent the wrong item to start with. I called them. They said to keep the wrong item and that they would send the correct one. They had made a mistake and admitted it. I didn't have to mail anything back. That pleased me. I didn't get any "guff". They sent the correct item. I order those Humidifier filters on a regular basis. I know what I order and that is what I eventually received. Katz customer service is to be commended.
Ihave been using these cleaner balls for several years, and change it every month in my humidifier. These balls keep the water tank very clean.
I have never used these before but so far they are what I expected and I am happy with them.
These definitely help to keep the humidifer clean and in better working condition. Would recommend.
I have two 1-1/2 gallon humidifiers. These are an excellent product, before I got them I had to clean the inside of the humidifier almost every week to 10 days because the inside got slimy and smelly. Now, I give it a good rinse weekly and can go over a month without having to clean the inside. I'm seeing less gunk around the filter, too. I plan to keep buying these as iong as I need a humidifier!
The ease of using the cleaner is really great. Just pop one in every 30 days and that's it.
I have extremely hard water full of lime, rust and calcium, so the cleaning cartridge is a welcome site. I have already noticed that the water doesn't have the musty odor it used to have. Hopefully it will lighten my cleaning load too!
This is a wonderfully convenient way to keep my humidifier clean. My only complaint is about the cost of shipping.
our humidifier has never stayed cleaner. The cleaning cartridge has kept our filter clean and the air that comes out of the humidifier smells clean. Will purchase these again!
I am extremely happy with this product. It is assisting in maintaining the cleanliness of my humidifier. It has helped in prolonging the life of the filter.
This wasn't included in my order the first time, but had no issues with customer service & they arrived about 1 wk later. Work great in my humidifier
I have found by experience, that if changed every 4-5 weeks, this product eliminates any problems related to mildew, mould or other fungi.
The antimicrobial cartridges are great and keeps my humidifier clean and running smootly.
This filter is a superior quality product and should stand up well. I've only had it for a couple of weeks.
Have been buying these for a couple of years, They really help with hard water build up.
These cartridges are effective and need no specific work to maintain. Just place them in the machine and forget about it until time to clean and change filter and cartridge.
I have used the Protec Cleaning cartridges since I purchased my humidifier and they always keep it spottlessly clean. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
These little guys are a gem for keeping your humidifier cleaner, longer. Again, it performs exactly as stated, killing bacteria that can cause unpleasant ordors in your humidifier! My humidifier and especially the filter is so much more clearner with these guys helping to keep the tank and filter clean and clear of mold and mildew!! Great product! Don't use your humidifier without these guys!!
These cartridges really help with keep the water algae free and fresh - for a minimum of 30 days!
Although these bulbs are pricey, they do an excellent job and it makes the humidfier maintenance free.
We have used this cartridge for a while now and find it is an inexpensive way to keep the humidier clean and free of microbes.
The Protec Antimicrobial Cleaning Cartridge 2-Pack is a very handy way to keep my humidfier clean and bacteria free.
I have tried various humidifier cleaning products. Katz products have by far outoperformed any other type I have tried. One type even left a film on everything in the room. It was awful. Katz is also the easiest to use, last the longest, and is by far the cheapest.
Product was what i expected. I purchase all my humidifier needs from Kaz. There is fast shipping and nice customer service if needed.
I've used this for a couple of years, and it's really great in terms of keeping bacteria and mold at bay. The phone support person was great....he suggested free shipping, and also suggested a double pack which saved a lot of money. THanks for great service and a great product.
I have been using this product for some time now and found that it is a convenient way to keep humidifiers bacteria free. They are a bit pricy at the retail level but buying from KAZ helps a bunch.
These little guys are terrific. I feel much safer having this keeping the humidifier water safe.
I will definately reorder these cleaning cartridges from Kaz -- they really help keep the water in the humidifier clean and free of mold, etc. Kaz shipped my order quickly and accurately -- that works for me!
Love this product. I can tell the difference when I use them in my humdifier. The air smells cleaner. I have been using this product since 2006 & I really love it. I have to run my humdifier every night due to my autoimmune disease Sjogren's Syndrome.
Thank you Kaz for making my purchase easy & quick. I was very satisfied with your service. Two thumbs up!
This is a great product; it truly keeps the water tank in my humidifier fresh. Now that I'm using it regularly, I find the tank needs to be cleaned far less frequently.
This product is simple to use and significantly helps to keep your humidifier filter in good condition for about one month.
Easy ordering process, fast delivery and excellent products for our Hunneywell floor-standing dehumidifier.
I noticed a difference in the quality of air as soon as the cartridge was placed.
This new method of keeping the bacteria away in the water is great. Very easy and convenient and lasts the full month it says. This is my second purchase of said item.
Helps tremendously with our water. It is very hard - so humidifier works much better with cartridge.
This product is easy to use; is better than messy liquids which I can never measure properly and always spill. I recommend them highly.
Works well in any humidifier.........helps to clean. Easier than adding solution, because you just drop in and forget about it.
Very competitive price, combined with free shipping.
Good product selection.
Highly recommended store.
I've using a humidifier for three years because of the harsh conditions here in the high desert of Nevada. With these balls in the water tank, my filters last twice as long - and that's no BULL !!! Before using the Protec Cartridges, the filter would clog up with a lot of funky stuff starting at the bottom and eventually the whole filter. This is a GOOD PRODUCT and it does what it says - we have some nasty water here and the filters, after using Protec Cartridges last double time and don't get still and nasty before discarding them.
This cleaning cartridge eliminates all bad odors coming from the humidifier. It is so easy to use by just placing it in the water reservoir and leaving it there for 30 days. I will definitely purchase this item again.
I tried these on a whim, saw them at CVS. Love them! I don't have to clean out the humidifier every day now! Only problem, they are hard to find, and expensive when I can find them. So I went online and found them, cheaper than any store. I also got them shipped free! I would definitely recommend these to anyone who wants a humidifier in their room/baby's room, but doesn't want to deal with the hassels of having to clean out the humidifier all the time. I usually clean it about once a month with bleach (just a teaspoon per gallon of water), and that kills anything growing in there. The ball really does the hard work for you!!!
LIke many others, I'm guessing, I was very casual about when I changed the anit-microbial cartidges in my humidifier. Laziness, not enough money to buy new ones, whatever it was, I'd only get them when I finally cleaned my filthy humidifier. Recently, I decided I didn't want to clean a filthy humidifier anymore, so I began changing the cartidges every month. It has made a huge difference, leaving me with a much cleaner base tray and filter, and much easier humdifier clean up. So I say what my titie says: It works great if you use it!
The prouct arrived in a timely manner and has been working well since installing them in my Honeywell humidifier. I would difinitely purchase again from Kaz.
These Protec Antimicrobia Cleaning Catridges are really handy to use and do a great job of keeping the humidifier clean and improving moisture output. I will definitely be using them every year to keep my humidifier running smoothly.
I ordered these water tank balls to help keep the water and the tanks cleaner. So far so good! I haven't noticed much of buildup of that nasty stuff that seems to grow on the bottom of the humidifier. I will order these again when I need them!
Excellent product! No more slimy and smelly water reservoirs and they last well beyond 30 days.
Protec has developed the most effective way of protecting your Humidifier from building Bacteria & Mold - (as small as a child's rattel)....just drop the cartridge in the water tank every 30 days. One could not want it any easier!
This product works, and it's not just Kaz' claim.
This product contains approximately one-third ounce of metalic silver. The current value of one ounce (Troy) of silver today, [February 14, 2014,] is about $15.00. So there is $5.00 of silver in this thing, making the price of the product quite reasonable.
Silver has a documented antimicrobial effect. (Check out Wikepedia, "Medical Uses for Silver"). Silver is used for purifiyng the water on the International Space Station, and has been used for various medicinal and antimicrobial purposes for thousands of years. Silver nitrate used to be applied to newborn babies' eyes to prevent blindness from certain diseases. (Now other drugs are used, since even though silver nitrate is safe, occasionally overdosing infants caused adverse effects.) The mechanism for silver killing bacteria, algae and fungi is by the release into the water of a biologically active silver ion. Since the silver is released into the water, eventually there will be no more silver ions released into the water, and you need to replace. The product instructions state change these every 30 days.
Demonstrating the product's efficacy is difficult--how does the consumer document that the product prevented release of e.coli, or some other bacteria into the air? For that, you have to rely on the clear documentation I mentioned above.
It would be nice, however, if there were some type of visual indicator on the device that the silver had been used up, so the consumer had a better idea of when to replace.
I think these cleaners do a good job. Can only expect so much from them however. Water here full of chemicals so the cleaner needs regular help .
This product prevents mold in our Vicks humidifier. But, it is hard to find in local stores. Plus, no one offers discounts on multiple item ordered the way Kaz does. Thanks
The cleaning cartridge really does the job as stated. They are great help in keeping everything clean.
I ratethem as a ive star....very, vey please
Recently started using these in our humidifiers and love them. They allow me to change the filters less frequently and keep the water cleaner overall.
I've been using these for several years - you can see the results on the filters between using and not using these cartridges (I started out not using them and the filters showed mold or other type spots in spite of my cleaning efforts per instruction manuals of two units). I have to feel that the water (and therefore mist) is much purer with the use of these cleaning cartridges.
Previously I was able to buy the Anti Bacterial products at a local hardware store, since I was unable to find them at the store I ordered on line and will most likely order more in the future. I am satisfied with the product.
The antimicrobial cartriges work as advertised. I began using them several years ago. They are easy to use, just drop them into the humidifier's resevoir tanks. Mine tanks have been clean as long as they are active, even though I sometimes leave them beyond the recomended expiration date.
This is one of those products where the seller has all the advantage of making a claim the buyer would have a difficult time testing. I will concede that regular tap water provided by local municipalities might be less than ideal for keeping the air we breathe at a beneficial humidity. It is conceded that we might need a product that kills the unheathy microbes in the water. Whether or not these Antimicrobial Cleaning Cartridges actually do that, I cannot claim to have firsthand knowledge.
In terms of the ease of use, I give it some credit. Drop it in the tank and leave it until the beads on the inside have desolved... at least, I think that's how it's supposed to go. There is a recommendation of a more frequent change, but I suspect it's not a hard-and-fast rule. I don't know... if I trust them that it does the job, why wouldn't I trust them on the recommended replacment frequency? I'll default to skepticism, but if it is the case that these do what they are supposed to do, I want that benefit, and I guess I'll have to pay for it in a blind, un-evidenced hope.
So this product so far has been good. The water doesn't smell bad and looks clean plus the humidifier looks clean inside. The bad thing is you have to change it every 30 days.
I really feel that it keeps the water clean in my humidifier as long as you change them once a month along with the filters. It so much easier than trying to get the mineral deposits off the machine.
I don't think there is any way to know if the cleaning cartridges are working well, but I haven't had a reason to think there is a problem.
Works good to soften hard water and reduce mold and other deposits at the bottom of the water tank reservoir.
The cartridges keep the humidifier cleaner longer - buying in a two pack is cheaper!
I purchased these handy devices to easily keep your humidifier water clean and free of bacteria,they work very well but don't let the kids or pets near the h2o as it is toxic to drink.They will prolong the life of your filters if your unit requires them and aid in cleaning.
This product is simple to use, you just drop it in the tank and your good for 30 days. Descently priced and works without any problems.
Protec Antimicrobial Cleaning Cartridge really help to keep the water clean and odor-free
These are a good way to keep your humidifier clean and definitely recommend them. Be sure to clean and descale your unit before using.
This product works as advertised, lengthening the life of replacement filiters. I wish they were sold in packages of 5-6 rather than just 2 however.
I purchased these for the first time last fall and was really happy with how much longer the humidifier was able to go without cleaning it and changing the filter. I would definitely recommend these!!
This product is recommended to be used in the humidifier. It performs fine. I would not use the humidifier without it.
I haven't used them yet, Hoping they will keep the water smelling fresh and clean. I rated them a 4 hoping they are going to work out as I hoped.
Does a good job of keeping water clean in my humidifier but havent used them enough to see how economical they are to use. Looks like you can use them more than once, at least.
Since I started using them in my humidifier, I believe the water has been cleaner. Whether reality or placebo, I use them. Too bad they do not fit in my Essick humidifier.
These drop-in antimicrobial cleaning cartridges do a very nice job of preventing slimy mineral buildup in my cool mist evaporative humidifier, but only for about 30 days at a time. The only drawback: having to change them three or four times over a typical winter.
Product is ok..............but it would have been nice if they had packaged them so that the box didn't get crushed and the little pellets weren't all over the inside of the larger box when I opened it.
I haven't had this product long enough to really give an honest rating but do feel it is doing what it is supposed to do.
these little additions to my humididadier has changed thethe mist . To me its better for my health to use this.
Bought this cartridge as per web site saying this is what I needed for my model,just one problem they did not fit into reservoir opening.I guess they would work well in large unit but not in the smaller ones. Save your money if you have a small unit!!!!
I'm still waiting to receive this product. It did not arrive with the filters. Please advise. Diane Dunn
There was suppose to be two in the box and I only got one. The number to call did not work for shortage or damage products. Had to call the ordering line and the person help me greatly.
Unfortunately this product does not work at all.
After 2 days the mold smell came back and ofter opening the humidifier so did the mold.
I had to purchase these because your company no longer produces the a KAB-8 bacteriostatic treatment. The KAB-8 was the only product effective in fending off the minerals and hard water deposits that pile up on our humidifiers. I am very disappointed in your company when I have repeatedly asked to have you continue making that product. This substitute product is just not effective at all.
I had to remove this item from the order as it was on extended backorder. I bought it from Target since they had it in stock.
Don't bother, waste of money. These did nothing to reduce the white dust. I wouldn't have given it 1 star but it makes me do something on here...
find the right filter for
your product.

Facility Reviews
This is a lovely pool, very popular and often busy at peak times. Good shower facilities. Helpful staff and lifeguards, and a happy, friendly atmosphere. The temperature is maintained at a constant 29ºC. and a few people find this too cool for their liking, unless they keep swimming or moving in the water, but that's what a swimming pool is for, surely! Café area for a welcome hot drink and chat post-swim. [April, 2013]
It is nearly always too cold. They insist on keeping the pool to what they say is 29ºC (it feels colder). They say this is good for lane swimmers. But it's too cold for children and over 50s.
As a serious swimmer, this is my pool of choice in this area (the other contenders being Princes Risborough, Henley, and High Wycombe). Temperature is both constant and "goldilocks" at 29ºC, though it could be a touch cooler. During lanes-only sessions there are five lanes available, except between 6 and 7:30 AM most weekdays when two of the lanes are reserved for the schools or swimming club. Lane discipline is generally pretty good. Pool design is such that the water is reasonably smooth, but can get a bit choppy when busy. Lane markers are just that; they are not the wave-suppression lines that help smooth the water. Changing and showering facilities are reasonable as council-owned-privately-managed pools in the UK go (facilities much better in the gym section which has been refurbished). Plenty of free parking. The pool has a nice light and airy feel to it, with large panoramic windows looking towards the Chiltern Hills. [August, 2013]

Domain extension for the Netherlands? What are the rules for obtaining one?
I work at an organization where we purchased a domain with the .DE extension (German) and we entered legal and technical issues that didn't allow us to use the domain extension (after we already bought it) without actually having an organizational presence in Germany.
I'm trying to research the rules and technicalities for a domain extension for the Netherlands.
1. What is the domain extension for the Netherlands? is it .NL?
2. Do people need to meet some legal requirements before they can actually host a site under this domain extension?
3. Any guidance on how to handle this as easily as possible?

For .DE registration German identity is must. .NL is for Netherlands. Anyone can register.NL domain name. You get more details at http://domain.co.nl/en/faq.html

.co.nl is not the same as a .nl domain name.
co.nl is a .nl domain name registered with SIDN.
.co.nl domain names are just subdomains from co.nl. (third level domain names).

Cabela's Incorporated announced plans today, to open a new store in Waco this year. The company will break ground in March and plans to open in time for this years holiday season.
The new 42,000-square-foot Cabela's Outpost store will be located in the Central Texas Marketplace off I-35 and Loop 340 on the south end of Waco. It will bring about 100 full-time, part- time and seasonal jobs to the city. This will be the retailer's fourth location in Texas joining the Fort Worth, Buda and Allen locations.
"Texas is full of outdoors men and women who live the Cabela's lifestyle - people who share our enthusiasm for outdoor adventure - so this is a marvelous fit," said Tommy Millner, Cabela's Chief Executive Officer." We are excited to bring the Cabela's Outpost store concept to Waco."
Cabela's is one of the largest outdoor sporting good companies in the nation. The new retailer is expected to boost the local economy.
Waco City Spokesman Larry Holze says Cabela's is a destination store that could bring other big name restaurants and retailers to the city.
""Cabela's has a reputation for drawing people hundreds of miles many times. and so that's going to be a great draw to come into our community, spend extra money at the shopping out there at the central Texas marketplace and possibly other eating establishments as well," says Holze.
One commercial real estate expert told us this is a great deal for this shopping center and that Cabela's is about as good a tenant as they could have hoped for.
Kristina Collins, Director of Business Retention and Expansion in Waco says the company will bring in big tax revenues to the county.
"We're really excited as a community about this. It's a great win for the Waco area, for central Texas as a whole too. If you look at what's it's done in other communities having a Cabella's there, it's really changed the perception of those particulars communities. And so that we have the same opportunity is fantastic for us," says Collins.
Waco customers will have access to Cabela's merchandise via online order kiosks located throughout the store, as well as free shipping with an In-Store Pickup program. In-Store Pickup allows customers to order Cabela's gear ahead of time and pick it up at their convenience at the store of their choice.
Cabela's stores showcase thousands of products, including hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, boating and wildlife-watching gear, as well as clothing and outdoor-themed gifts and furnishings.
Cabela's is an international retailer and operates 41 stores across the United States and Canada with plans to open an additional 14 by the end of 2014.
"I think it's kind of a celebration of what our community is all about right now. Waco is an attractive place to do business," says Holze.

October 4, 2012
Dear Colleague:
Today, the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia released the Virginia Longitudinal Data System (VLDS), a collaborative effort among several Virginia agencies that tracks outcomes of students across the state as they transition through public school systems, college and into the workforce.
The 2012 General Assembly passed a bill, introduced by Del. Chris Stolle, which requires SCHEV to publish data on the proportion of graduates with employment at 18 months and five years after the date of graduation. Currently, the VLDS provides this information by program and degree level at the 18 month mark for all public institutions and private institutions eligible to participate in the Tuition Assistance Grant Program.
While the system has some data limitations now, it is the beginning of what will be a very useful tool for students, parents, universities and policy makers. As SCHEV is able to access more data, the VLDS will present a clearer picture of the positive outcomes of a college education and will enable leaders to create education and workforce policies based on consistent and relevant data.
For us here at Old Dominion University, the VLDS tells a positive story of our graduates' ability to gain full-time employment at salaries that are competitive with national averages. According to the report, some 47 percent of ODU graduates targeted by the study, who had a four-year bachelor's degree, had full-time employment 18 months after graduation. The average salary of these alumni was $36,571.
Recently, Old Dominion was recognized by U.S. News and World Report for its students graduating with the third lowest debt burden of public doctoral institutions in the country. The average amount is $16,500. When you couple this with the employment and salary data, it presents a compelling case for families on the positive return on their investment in an Old Dominion University education.
Another 17.2 percent of Old Dominion graduates with four-year bachelor's degrees enrolled in a higher level degree program in Virginia.
The good news for the Commonwealth is that Old Dominion graduates, whether moving into full-time employment or pursuing an advanced degree, are remaining in Virginia. As we know, the backbone of a strong economy is a highly-educated and talented workforce.
One caveat on the study, that I think is significant for Old Dominion, is that it does not capture employment in the federal government. For a university with a large military population and located near several federal agencies and labs, this limitation doesn't enable us to see the full picture of our students' success.
Regardless, what the VLDS has captured is extremely important and beneficial. As a member of the Governor's Higher Education Commission that supported the "Top Jobs" legislation, I can attest that these data will help state and university leaders alike create programs, policies and initiatives to continue to position the Commonwealth of Virginia as a national leader in economic development and quality of life.

Twins Short Hops: Game 2
Minnesota faces elimination after ball bounces Oakland's way
MINNEAPOLIS -- Fielding the Twins' Game 2 loss to the A's on a short hop ...In < 40 words ...
Boof Bonser delivered solid starting pitching. Both Michael Cuddyer and Justin Morneau came through with game-altering home runs. But the defense and relief, playing such a huge role in the Twins' 2006 success, once again eluded Minnesota. Frozen moment
With one out in the top of the seventh and Mark Ellis on first base, Jason Kendall hit a possible inning-ending double-play grounder to shortstop Jason Bartlett. But the still somewhat fleet-footed Kendall beat the throw to first, bringing Mark Kotsay to the plate. Kotsay followed with a line drive to center, missed by a few inches on an all-out dive by Torii Hunter, which rolled to the wall for the game-winning, inside-the-park home run. Big number
14. The amount of hitless at-bats for the Twins with runners in scoring position over the first two games. They missed on chances Wednesday with runners on first and second in the first, fourth and fifth and with a runner on second in the sixth. Even Joe Mauer, hitting .408 with runners in scoring position and two outs, grounded out to third baseman Eric Chavez to end the fifth. And Nick Punto popped out to end the game with men on first and second. Game balls (out of five)
Bonser -- 5 Two runs allowed over six innings certainly fell on the high end of the expectation scale for the talented rookie.
Cuddyer -- 5 Extended his postseason hitting streak to seven games and gave the Twins life with a leadoff home run off Esteban Loaiza in the sixth.
Luis Castillo -- 1 The talented leadoff hitter struck out 58 times in 584 at-bats during the regular season. He took three called third strikes during Wednesday's loss -- not what Minnesota needs from its leadoff sparkplug.Sense of October
The crowd of 55,710, the sixth-largest in Metrodome history, managed to Boof it up whenever their starter came close to a strikeout in key game situations. But full appreciation for the decibel level in the stadium came in the sixth, on back-to-back home runs from Cuddyer and Morneau. Lines of the Game
Justin Morneau
Comment: Morneau's first career postseason home run tied the game at two in the sixth inning. Even his first out was hard hit, as Morneau lined a shot to right fielder Milton Bradley to end the first with two runners on base.

Boof Bonser
6 IP, 2 R, 7 H, 1 BB, 3 Ks, 87 pitches, 54 strikes
Comment: Hunter used a euphemism for angry to describe Bonser's competitive spirit following Tuesday's loss. But nobody on the Twins' side was upset with the way the rookie threw the ball Wednesday, allowing eight baserunners over six innings, but minimizing Oakland's damage. Spoken
"Really? That's a good one. There's hope. I really hadn't thought about that. For any team, you go up 2-0 and you know it's not over yet. I've had a three-game winning streak before, so we just hope we can get that three-game winning streak and win this thing."
-- Minnesota center fielder Torii Hunter, on learning Oakland has given up 2-0 leads in both the 2001 ALDS against the Yankees and the 2003 ALDS against Boston. The A's dropped Games 3 and 4 in Oakland against New York. Next step
Saying the Twins' collective backs are up against the wall stands as a bit of an understatement. Minnesota arrives in Oakland one game away from elimination with Brad Radke, Friday's starter, making a valiant trip to the mound after pitching three months with a stress fracture in his right shoulder. Radke finished with a no-decision upon his return to the mound last Thursday, but the Twins beat the Royals.

A man is accused of targeting his ex-wife's new boyfriend and beating the man to death with a baseball bat early Thursday morning.
Police said 29-year-old David Walker flew to Phoenix from Chicago, snuck into his ex-wife's home through a back door and hit her boyfriend multiple times in the head with a baseball bat.
Walker then struck his ex-wife in the head and physically assaulted her, according to police. She was injured and he forced her to drive him to Tempe along with their two children, ages 8 and 6.
Once in Tempe, the suspect fled the car on foot and threw the bat away. The victim drove to a business, where she called police. Police responded to both her location and to her home.
29-year-old Adam Moring, the new boyfriend, was taken to the hospital and died a few hours later.
Police found and arrested Walker at a Tempe motel after a struggle.
Walker faces charges of first degree murder, aggravated assault, kidnapping, burglary and tampering with evidence.

3.8/5 rDev +4.1%
Produced a finger and a half of tan, long lived head. Beer color is a very dark mahogany.
The aroma was of roasted malts, dark bread.
The taste was the same, with a slight sweetness, and hop note. Medium mouth-feel, and low carbonation.
This is a good, easy drinking stout, but no a great one.

12oz brown bottle with a bottled on date. Good amount of tan head that drops a stick lace on the glass. Pitch black more or less, dark enough to not let the light through. Aroma of soft charcoal and silky oats. Full bodied with a smooth and creamy dextrin mouth feel. Slight roasted character that grows to a streamlined char flavor. Mild hop bitterness plays off of the oat sweetness. Good malt base with a faint yeast and fruity note. Finishes semi-sweet, this one is an obvious chocolate pairing. Not bad at all, above average compared to the rest.

Black in color and not much light will penetrate it. Minimal Brussels lace at the top of the glass. I smell oatmeal and a bit of roasted malt. Mouthfeel is slick and viscous with a bit of dryness. Tastes strongly of roasted malt and oatmeal, leaving a pleasant lingering bitterness.

3.15/5 rDev -13.7%
Sampled at Schlafly's Tap Room at the St. Louis Airport. Served in a frosty mug - which really sucked. No head. Hardly any aroma. Smoky, sooty taste with nothing in the way of oatmeal sweetness or smoothness. Lingering aftertaste that was decent but slightly reminiscent of Dr. Pepper (corn syrup). This was disappointing. It had that unpleasant tar and meat quality found under the surface in so many American micro stouts. The description said: "this stout has sweetness from caramel malt, and bitterness from roasted barley..." which doesn't make sense to me, unless they threw in some unmalted roast barley, but that seems unlikely. If in St. Louis, Morgan Street Brewpub has a better stout.

2.95/5 rDev -19.2%
Pours a dark black/brown with a minimalist head. Smells sweet and full of chocolate. Deception. Taste is weakly coffee based with a lot of the barley bite that I look for in a stout sadly absent. Scant traces of vanilla and espresso round it out but it's too late. Mouthfeel is way too watery for an oaty. Borderline soda like quality in the carbonation. It's drinkable but not by me.

12 oz bottle , bottled on 15 April, 2013, and served in a snifter at about 55F.
This Oatmeal Stout pours dark mahogany but is clear and the bottle lacks sediment. The small tan head is short-lived and lives scant lacing.
The oatmeal is evident in the aroma, flavor and soft feel. Hints of dried fruits and faint coffee add to the flavor which is, as expected, dominated by roasted grains. No burnt grain. Low hops and carbonation. Full bodied.

4.1/5 rDev +12.3%
This beer pours a dark reddish brown. The head is creamy tan. It fades fast leaving decent laces. It smells very malty. There are hints of caramel and chocolate. The malty aroma dominates though. It tastes malty and sweet. The roasted malts are quite apparent. There is a light caramel taste. This beer is carbonated perfectly. It leaves a sweet caramel like taste on the palate It is easy to drink. It is just a little thin. Most stouts are very thick, but this one seems just a little thin. This would be a good session beer because it is not too strong and the flavors are not too intense. I would definately drink this beer again if it was avaliable here in California.

3.73/5 rDev +2.2%
Bottled 7/14/11
Dark brown with ruby read highlights, khaki colored head with pleasing retention and some spotty lacing.
Nose is namely that of this beer's namesake, oatmeal with caramel, coffee grinds and some herbal twang to round it out. Not quite the robust meal in a glass aromas that others in this style bring to the table.
Same as the nose: oatmeal flakes, caramel and espresso with an acidic limey finish. Warm and amicable roasted characteristics that mesh the flavors together well, nicely done.
Bottle advertises this as heavy bodied, I feel that its more medium. Syrupy and creamy, thickens up a bit as it warms up to room temperature. Maybe a little over-carbonated for a stout though.
Overall, a respectable offering, but its not going to blow you away, especially since we are now in the season of Founders Breakfast Stout. Still good though, Cheers!

3.55/5 rDev -2.7%
Had on-tap at the Tap Room.
Pours a dark brown color with a one-finger tan head. The head dissipates into a thin pancake on top leaving light lacing.
Smells of small amounts of roasted malts with hints of unsweetened chocolate.
Tastes similar to how it smells. Light roasted malt flavors kick things off until they're joined by unsweetened chocolate midway through the sip. Mild coffee flavors sneak out as the beer warms leading to a solidly bitter ending.
Mouthfeel is good. It's got a smooth thickness with moderate carbonation.
Drinkability is alright. I finished one glass without a problem but I'm not ecstatic about ordering another.
Overall this is a decent oatmeal stout, but Schlafly has plenty of better offerings. Still, worth a shot.

A-This beer pours a deep hazel opaque brown body with a thick tan creamy head.
S- Nice soft roasted grain nose with some coffee notes and a very faint hop bitterness.
T- There is a nice roasted malt flavor with some sweetness up front. A hint of smoky grains and some tartness in the finish. A faint earthiness from the malt is a nice compliment to the light bitterness from the hops.
M-Medium mouthfeel but a bit of a watery texture. No alcohol warmth or astringency
D-This is a very tasty oatmeal stout. It has good complexity and nice depth of malt characters. The mouthfeel is a bit watery but the beer is a nice stout.

12oz bottle poured into a snifter. Bottled on 10/17/2013.
A: Pours a clear dark brown appearing black in the glass with a lightly tanned head on top. Leaves some spots of lacing on the sides of the glass.
S: Has a complimenting blend of sweetness and roastiness. A sweet carmel molasses aroma is what I initially smell. Then there is the roasty chocolate coffee aspect that cannot be ignored.
T: As with the aroma this beer has a blend of sweetness and roastiness. Lots of molasses makes its way into the flavor. Oatmeal smoothes things out. Chocolate and coffee are in the background giving way to the sweetness.
M: Medium body with a creamy full mouthfeel. Average carbonation. A bit of stickiness on the backend but not overwhelming.
Overall this is a solid oatmeal stout that is perhaps too sweet for my liking.

This beer poured with a thin head, and caramel color.
Aroma is sweet, caramelly, and porter-like.
Mouth-feel is thick but not creamy, tasting a little of cocoa, a little sweet, and finishing rather bitter. This beer was incredibly fizzy for a stout as well.
As we drank this beer, I thought it was a little strong for the style - a little research on BA shows that it is 5.7% ABV.
Its ok, but with better oatmeal stouts available, I wouldn't buy it again.

On tap at Schlafly's at STL airport.
Pours dark brown, translucent and pale for the style, the head endures as a yellowed tan froth.
Nose of mild roast beans, cocoa, and smoked pulled beef.
Enters with a smoky chocolate and caramel nougat maltiness, but never ventures very sweet. Watery coffee hues take over. Some oat structure is noted, as the smokiness lingers, but the malt fairly falls off the bone, leaving a weak notion of caramel. Hops provide a concluding stalky dryness, but little associated flair, aside from a wavering astringency.
Thin and flaccid in the mouth, drinkable in gulps, but not particularly well-structured. It presents as a cross between an Irish Dry Stout and a Brown Ale.
A pleasant diversion while waiting for a flight, but that's about it.

This stout pours the darkest shade of brown bordering on black and has a very slight amber hue around the edges when held up to the light. 1/2 finger creamy head fades to a haze of smoke over the brew.
The nose is sweet, rich, creamy, and very bready...but not thick. I smell cola and rootbeer along with a deep red fruit. Maybe a bit like cherry cola. Also a bit of vinous grape is evident.
Tastes dark and smokey at first, then...salty roasted meat, whole grain breads, oatmeal. This really tastes alot different than it smells. IMO a bit to salty and overly bitter for the style.
I enjoyed the aromas much more than the taste, and IMO the carbonation is a little overdone. This is really not very smooth or creamy for an oatmeal stout.
Oddly enough my girlfriend, who (like alot of non-BA's) has "dark beer fear," really liked this one. That kind of suprised me. Overall, I don't think I would come back to this one as there are much better oatmeal's out there.
