I purchased this about a year ago and was pleasantly surprised at how really nice it is. No dings or dents and not even a scratch out of the box! The wrinkle, dark gray paint was perfectly applied and seems durable enough.Assembly was very straight forward, all the parts fit precisely and I was quite pleased with the build quality. I had this all together in less than an hour, as all there is to do is to screw on the four casters, two side handles, one side bar, and the eleven chromed drawer handles.The instructions need an update with regard to the fact that you don't need "nuts" for anything (threaded weldnuts are employed so all you are doing is turning screws into the proper holes). If you are the least bit "mechanical" the illustrations are more than sufficient, as parts only fit one way.Mine came in three separate cartons, all very well packed and everything was plastic bagged inside the box. The drawer rails are not ball-bearing'd, but the slides were lubricated and everything worked well. I added a little extra machine oil on a couple of the drawers where the lube seemed sparce; and I added some small amount of grease to the lift and slide, lower chest cover so it opens a bit more smoothly.One added plus was that every drawer and the lower compartment all had vinyl-like liners and each of the three cabinets are key-lockable.A very-small negative was that two of the four castors were fixed and that wasn't as manueverable in my little shop as it could be. But HF carries matching castors and for very little, I replaced the two fixed wheels with swivels. Also, two of the supplied casters are "lockable".My chest now is packed with hand tools, with the top holding a 150 piece socket set with extensions, ratchets, speeders, and even my torque wrench. The drawers hold all my hammers, screw drivers, plier sets, punches, open-end and other wrench sets (imperial and metric) and even my electronic tools, meters, etc. as well as my precision measuring tools.The lower cabinet is great for the rags, aprons, and other material supplies and even a couple of one-gallon cans sitting upright.With all of that (maybe 200-plus lbs), it is all easily moved around the shop, on the 3-inch casters, to where I need it, when necessary.While this may not be for the auto-mechanic who has several hundred pounds of tools that he is constantly grabbing and perhaps throwing back into the cabinet, it does serve it's purpose well for me.I keep my tools clean and handle them with care. For my use, the cabinet is perfect and I plan to buy another of these in the very near future!I gave this five stars, not so much because its the best cabinet I ever saw, for surely there are heavier, more durable cabinets; but they come at significantly higher cost, usually several times more expensive!. For what you get, at the price you get it, this is a significantly good buy which serves it's intended purpose very, very well.

I spent my evening returning my xmas present which was this tool box set. 2 of 3 were slightly damaged. (scratched paint) right out of the box with an oil (??) stain.had to be a fluke right? I went to the store and watched with amazment as box after box that they opened in front of me was damaged as the employee opened them. He wasn't surpised. I decided to just upgrade to a different tool box.I got that one home...and guess what? Smashed in cornor. If your gonna buy one and expect "new" to mean "new" ask to see it opened before you take it home.I love this store. I'm not a hater, this is my first and worst bad experince. The staff treated me great.Good luck

What a great deal I fell into!
By Jimmy
from Corpus Christi Texas
I often shop at HF and when a friend and I both purchased the same tool I returned mine and received in-store credit. I was browsing the tool-boxes and asked an employee about possible sells. He informed me that no sales where upcoming but he had a damaged tool box in back. I purchased it for $100 and the price also included an Inside Track Club membership. I was totally happy and Christmas came early for me. The box was missing a couple of handle and had one small dent. I got a great deal, super toolbox, insider club membership and I am happy, happy, happy. I tell everyone to shop at HARBOR FREIGHTS.

The perfect organizer for tools
By Mick the mechanic
from Massachusetts
I was very excited to purchase this tool cabinet but when i opened it to assemble I noticed the base had a dent in front. I grabed a hammer and a piece of wood and straightened it out. For the money I have no complaints. Now I know were to find the right tool fast!

Who needs the BEST?
By jet1959mo
from Liberty, Mo
See all my reviews
Waited for years to get a chest I could afford and now I have one. This chest still has room for more hand tools than I have. The socket organizers from HF and other retailers don't fit in the drawers as I found out (too long). As few other reviewers said, it isn't heavy duty metal but can and will stand up to a bit of light punishment but, what do you expect for this price? Drawers don't have ball bearings and the wheels are plastic but, work well if taken care of. Comes with assembly instructions I didn't need to use. Comes with drawer liners. All I can say is this is a steal!!
great box best bang for home mechanic
By McIntosh
from greenville, s.c.
Used this to organize my mechanics tools. Most of my time used to be spent finding my tools to work on our vehicles, go carts, lawn tractors, etc... Now I know exactly where every tool I own is at. I organized a few drawers using black foam board in isle with poster board at WM. Also if you buy the 301 pc. Tool set at HF, the trays fit perfect in the lower drawers. You can even keep the box in the lower cabinet ready to take your tools portable. Take the trays out and pop them back in the portable box and you are gone. Yes, it's that easy. Very happy with this roller box and 301 pc. tool set which only takes up 4 of the drawers. Which leaves a lot of room for all of my other sets and specialty tools.
Great Tool Storage
By Manuel
from Arizona
I bought this tool storage based on reviews and so glad I did. I love the look of the box. Looks like the Kennedy machinist boxes. The drawers slide in/out very easy. I plan on spraying some silicon on the slides for better sliding. The caster wheels feel a little plasticky but I dont plan on moving it around. Its going to be stationary. The boxes came very well packaged. Not one dent or ding. For a home shop/garage, this tool storage is great. Oh yea and it was very easy to assemble. Didnt need to look at the instructions. Good job Harbor Freight.

One of my best HF purchase decisions
By Dee
from SW WA
I bought this several years ago and wanted to say that I have been very pleased with this product. I use it in my garage and store almost everything in the way of hand tools in this cabinet.It is a sturdy, well built, product that has been incredibly useful for getting and keeping me organized.It arrived in boxes and without any damage whatsoever. It was easy to assemble. Came with drawer liners and all the hardware to complete assembly. Drawers will lock to keep the kids out.I think it is a tremendous value compared to the prices of other comparable big department store products.
By Dusty
from Cave Junction, Oregon
It is better built than I expected. It should last a very long time if it is not abused. It is perfectly fine for storing and organizing tools without breaking the bank. I am pleased with the quality of the build and very pleased with the price-on sale...

Muvico Rosemont 18 Theater
9701 Bryn Mawr Avenue,
11 people favorited this theater
Theater opened September 14, 2007. It's really trying to be different! Every auditorium is digital and had art/murals on the walls (it reminded me of the old Coral Theater in Oak Lawn).
What really sets it apart is the Premier VIP area. There are six screens upstairs (it has a separate entrance) with seats almost twice the size of regular theater seats (they're huge!). When you buy your ticket, you select your seat on a touchscreen (capacity is 60). Premier VIP ticketbuyers see the same film as the 'regular' patrons, but it's in a balcony up above (who has balconies anymore?!) Plus, with the Premier VIP ticket, you get free popcorn (average, unfortunately) and free valet parking (although it's next to a huge parking garage, so I guess the only time you'd need that would be if they had a big convention in town).
The food menu was expanded (not the typical movie theater fare – flatbread pizza, anyone?), but I don't know if the 'regs' get the same menu. Premier VIPers also can order from Bogart's restaurant, a sitdown place between the VIP theatres. There's a bar up there, too. And get this – childcare services are available, also! (They had a lot of staff up there. I mean, a lot!) The men's room only had one stall, but it included a sink! Which encouraged me to take as long as I wanted in there. Ha! Premier VIP is $15.00 Friday-Saturday-Sunday, $12.50 Monday-Thursday (and includes popcorn and valet parking).
The address is 9701 Bryn Mawr Avenue in Rosemont, but don't use the mapsites to find it. They give the location as west of the highway, but it's east. From the north, take River Road to Bryn Mawr and turn right. Past the office building (Hey! I used to work in that building!), turn left and head for the garage. From the south, turn left on Balmoral (where the Rosemont Theatre is), drive past the hotel, then turn right into the parking garage entrance. The theater is on the other side of the garage.
Rosemont is supposed to be bulding an entertainment district 'Rosemont Walk', but I didn't see it. They only have this super-cool theater back behind the office buildings, hotels and parking garages that define this next to O'Hare Airport town.
Crowd was a decent size for a brand new, practically hidden theater. They must be counting on hotel guests. But hey, it's worth the trip! Saw "Across The Universe" there, which is only playing at a few theaters. Also, you can print tickets at home.

Bobby, I can't say that I see the similarity with the Chicago Paradise, except perhaps the galloping steed at the top of the facade being reminiscent of those on the Paradise proscenium. Still, for a modern day theatre it looks pretty impressive. Probably about as good as we can expect these days.
Scott, that is exactly what I meant. I didn't even think about it until I read it in this post. We will never see the likes or anything comimg close to our Paradise or Marbro. For what I see around the country that are passing for movie complexes, this was a very bold & beautiful design and I commend Muvico. Their theaters in Florida are also very very nice but without the big marquee and vertical. This must be a new direction the company is taking. They have a Paradise, Palace and Parisian all with the themes throughout the theater. Impressive lobbys, marble floors and chandeliers, plush carpets and plenty of gilt-everything we love!
Scott, if you do come up I'll meet you there. In person it is very impressive! I have heard from friends they were disappointed with the auditoriums not really looking like a movie palace. I suppose they thought the exterior was so ornate and colorful that the theaters inside would also be. Well there is a little decoration and the seats are plush. All the money was spent on the facade and the signage and the stunning lobby. I remind them this IS 2011! The era of over the top decorations and cupids and floating clouds are all long gone. But this theater gives you the flavor of that time.
Dean Richards of WGN TV did a piece on the Muvico 18 this morning. The theater has added a bank of seats equipped with "D-Box". A film activated motion device that rocks the bank of seats along with the action on the screen. Like a flight/driving simulator or interactive space shuttle experience of sorts. The feature is reservation only, and appeared to be limited to a small amount of seats. Special prints of the films encoded to work with the equipment are needed. The upcoming "Pirates" sequel is one that is scheduled. So it's obviously not limited to planes or cars.
I believe this probably is a form of sennsuround that some of the theaters installed back in the 70's. I saw "Earthquake" at the Nortown Theatre in Chicago back then and they installed big boom boxes at the sides of the theater when the earth moved, so did the theater. Back in the 60's, In remember the fad of smellavision.
This was installed in a downtown theater and the seats were wired with sensors to release smells when called for in the movie. Must have been a flop because it never went anywhere.
Similar, but limited to the shaking of that bank of seats only.
I posted over on the United Artists page about experiencing "Earthquake" with Sensurround when it came out. The UA had to hang mesh netting high up towards the ceiling to catch falling plaster shortly after the film opened.
My late father said Smell-O-Vision was tried at the Michael Todd on Dearborn I believe. But that people became ill when the artificial pipe smoke scent was pumped in for one scene.
Your dad was correct. Michael Todd had the system. Also correct people were vomiting in the aisles. Being an usher there sure meant being challenged I would say.
There are 48 D-box seats, and an adult D-box ticket costs $21.50. I guess they tilt, rock, and vibrate according to the action on screen. So now instead of the kid behind you kicking your seat, the theatre itself kicks your seat.
September 14th, 2007 grand opening ad is in the photo section for this theatre.
I predict this theater will be sold to AMC(China Money) or Cinemark chain which itself was sold a few years ago. Muvico sold a few of their theaters in Florida to Cinemark. One was the beautiful Palace in Boca Raton and the Paradise. They spent a fortune to build these beautiful huge buildings and I believe they are deep in debt. Their plans to expand in the Chicago area fizzled and the business in Rosemont during the week is sparse at best.

Conceived by Kim Rosenstock (Tigers Be Still) and written by Will Connolly (Once), Michael Mitnick (Sex Lives of Our Parents, "The Giver") and Rosenstock, the limited engagement plays through June 29 at Playwrights Horizons' Mainstage Theater.
Directed by Carolyn Cantor, the cast features Allison Case (Hair, Hands on a Hardbody), Adam Chanler-Berat (Peter and the Starcatcher, Next to Normal), Tony Award nominee and Obie Award winner Peter Friedman (The Great God Pan, Ragtime), Michael McCormick (Elf, Curtains), Patti Murin (Xanadu, Love's Labour's Lost), Drama Desk Award nominee Bryce Ryness (Hair, First Date) and Obie Award winner Henry Stram (Inherit the Wind, The Crucible).
Here's how the production is billed: "In this darkly comic rock-fable, a melancholy sandwich maker's (Chanler-Berat) hum-drum life is intersected by two entrancing sisters (Case and Murin). A sweeping ode to young love set against the backdrop of the northeast blackout of 1965, Fly By Night is a tale about making your way and discovering hope in a world beset by darkness."

BLUFORD — Friends are rallying around the family of Derek Houle, who, along with his 9-year-old son, died in a car crash on March 1.
"We know they are going through so much right now," said Bambi McKinney.
A benefit dinner for the Houle family will be held from 4 to 7 p.m. March 16 at Bluford Grade School in the old gym. The event, sponsored by the Bluford Ruritan Club, is slated to help pay for funeral expenses and medical bills.
McKinney said she and her husband, Trent, are friends with Derek Houle's mother and stepfather, Carla and Rusty Bryant.
"Derrick, his stepdad, just lost his mom two weeks ago," McKinney said. "Then this, and then last night, Derrick lost his aunt. There is so much going on, we want to do what we can to help the family cope and know they are cared for."
Derek Houle and his son, Journey, died as a result of an accident Friday night on Interstate 64 near the 52 mile marker. According to police, Houle and his son and 12-year-old daughter, Destini, were in an SUV when Houle slid on black ice in the westbound lanes, causing the vehicle to veer into the median, getting stuck in the mud. The three were standing in the median when another vehicle slid on the ice and hit all three Houles.
Destini Houle was taken to a St. Louis hospital for treatment of her injuries. McKinney said she has learned the girl has been released from the hospital and is now recovering from home.
The benefit will include a smoked pork chop dinner by Steve Earhart, which will also include green beans, potatoes, pasta salad and dessert. Desserts are being provided by area churches, McKinney said. Residents are collecting donations for an auction, which will be conducted by Don Rector and Bob Dagg.
"Everyone is pitching in, volunteering their time," McKinney said. "A lot of people want to help them and do what they can."

The No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes ran over the No. 3 Duke Blue Devils, dominating the game from start to finish before winning, 85-63, in the highlight of the 2011 Big 10-ACC Challenge so far.
After the game, Mike Krzyzewski didn't sugarcoat Duke's performance. "Sometimes you just get your butt kicked," he said. "We were getting our butt kicked. I've had my butt kicked before. We've kicked some butt. Tonight my butt's sore."
The Buckeyes took an early lead over the Blue Devils, going up 11-0 on Duke in the first four minutes before a jumper by Mason Plumlee finally got the Blue Devils on the board. The Buckeyes poured it on in the first half taking a huge 47-28 lead into halftime.
"They just jumped on us from the beginning," Plumlee said. "We weren't ready to play."
The Blue Devils battled back in the second half, but it just wasn't enough to overcome the early Ohio State onslaught. It was a team effort from the Buckeyes, led by Jared Sullinger, who scored 21 points with eight boards. William Buford added 20 points, with Deshaun Thomas and Aaron Craft scoring 18 and 17, respectively.
"This basketball team is special," Sullinger said.
In the loss, the Blue Devils were led by Austin Rivers' game-high 22 points and Plumlee's 16.

Inconsistency sinks Cardinal women
---- — NEWBURGH — Two goals scored less than four minutes apart early in the second half by Shanice Robe were too much for the Plattsburgh State women's soccer team to overcome on Saturday.
Robe tallied goals at 4:40 and 8:15 to provide the margin of difference in Mount Saint Mary's 2-1 win over the Cardinals in non-conference play.
"I think we went into the game taking them too lightly," Plattsburgh coach Karen Waterbury said. "We played bits and pieces of good soccer, but didn't do enough to win.
"They had a pretty good striker (Robe) and she got behind our defense twice. We weren't able to do that to them."
Following an uneventful first half, the Knights' Vanessa DeSilvio sent a diagonal pass to the left side of the field and hit Robe in stride, who sent the ball inside the far post to give the hosts the lead for good.
Then, less than four minutes later, DeSilvio fed Robe with a vertical pass and her shot ticked off Plattsburgh goalkeeper Kristy Kirkpatrick and into the net.
The Cardinals (1-3-1) didn't wait long to cut their deficit in half when Melissa Rodriquez scored less than two minutes later at 9:42. Devin McMahon got possession of the ball in the middle of the field and gave Rodriquez a pass on the right side. Rodriquez drilled a shot past Knights' keeper Abigail McQuillen.
Plattsburgh pressed for the equalizer, but McQuillen made a couple of saves on Emily LaLone to preserve the victory.
"We have to bring more together," Waterbury said. "Once again, it was too little, too late for us.
Jacquelyn Mancini (5) and McQuillen (2), who played the second half, combined for seven saves for Mount Saint Mary (1-3), which picked up its first win of the season.
Mount Saint Mary 2Plattsburgh State 1
Plattsburgh State 0 1 — 1
Mount Saint Mary 0 2 — 2
Second half- 1, MSMC, Robe (DiSilvio), 4:40. 2, MSMC, Robe (DiSilvio), 8:15. 3, PSU, Rodriquez (McMahon), 9:42.
Shots: Plattsburgh State 8. Mount Saint Mary 8.
Saves: Abellard (2), Kirkpatrick (4), PSU, 6. Mancini (5), McQuillen (2), MSMC, 7.
Charisse Abellard played the first half for the Cardinals and stopped two shots, while Kirkpatrick made four saves over the final 45 minutes.
The Cardinals continue their weekend road trip with a 1 p.m. contest at Vassar College today.

A proposed $40 million housing and commercial project on Chattanooga's waterfront was approved Monday by a city planning panel, with one neighboring landowner calling the site "the next frontier for downtown development."
A Nashville development company plans to start working with the Tennessee Valley Authority to gain permits to kick off construction of the project that would add 70 cottage-style homes and 200 apartments off Riverfront Parkway near M.L. King Boulevard.
"In our opinion, downtown Chattanooga is under-supplied in terms of housing," said Aaron White, a principal with Evergreen Real Estate, after the city's Planning Commission approved rezoning an 11-acre tract from manufacturing to central business.
While the rezoning still needs City Council approval, White said his company would like to start construction next spring on one of the city's largest-ever riverfront mixed-use projects. The project's working name is "The Landings," but White said that's expected to change.

16.9 oz (500ml) bottle served in Austrian .6L glass mug. A few months past BEST BY date, but properly stored (recently at least).
Unusual pull top cap. Easy removal yet seems to seal well.
Looks like a macro-lager with an extra amount of white fluffy head.
There are some unpleasant component[s] in the aroma, including but not limited to a slight skunkiness. {2nd sample purchased and sampled in May 2012 is also a bit skunky}
Aside from the pop top and unusual bottle, there's nothing remarkable about this lager, for good or bad.
Moderate carbonation, typical lager mouthfeel (thin), slight dryness in the fiinish.
As an import beer, this lager is not competitive with many other domestic and imports, whether on price or interest or quality.

Appearance This poured a beautiful clear bright yellow in color with a big, pure white head. The head came up wonderfully on an easy pour and just looked gorgeous on top of this bright yellow lager.
Smell Theres a faint lagered grain aroma here and that is about it. I can also get a mild processed sugar.
Taste The grain here is pilsneresque with a light grainy sweetness. The finishing sugars taste a bit stale but otherwise this is a nice flavor profile.
Mouthfeel This is light-bodied with a good, clean, crisp carbonated finish.
Drinkability Im not a huge fan of the style but this seemed right on the mark.

Review from BeerAdvocate Magazine Issue #54 (July 2011):
Pull-back cap lets out a champagne-like pop. Very pale straw-yellow color shows a stunning clarity. Hints of cooked hops, fresh-cut grass, lemon zest and some alcohol in the nose. Dry maltiness still has some body to it; dried grass with some spicing from the hops. Kiss of green apple skin. Hint of alcohol, perhaps not so clean, but not so much as to be a bother. Bitter hopping is here and lingers into the dry finish. Half decent, relatively easy to quaff back and certainly better than most mass-produced lagers.

The beer pours a light yellow color with a white head. The aroma is grassy hops, lemon, grain and wheat. The flavor is lemons, wheat and grain. Not too much in the flavor, but it is not skunky like so many green-bottled beers. Overall, the beer is better than I expected. Easy drinking, light mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

A 500ml green glass bottle with a BB of March 2012. ABV is stated as 5.5%. Russian beer - woooo!
Poured into a straight pint glass. A clear pale-gold colour with medium carbonation. Forms a decent head of creamy white foam that hangs around for a minute or so before subsiding. Aroma of light malt with hints of grain, stewed hops and DMS, in addition to a sweet note that reminds me of honey.
Tastes of light malt with faint notes of grain and stewed hops. A whisper of aromatic hops. A mild hint of solvent in the background, and a slight carbonic flavour. Mouthfeel is light, smooth and prickly. Hardly any aftertaste - just the fading memory of light malt.
An OK lager, but nothing special. Clean, bland, watery and probably quite refreshing on a hot day. Would be an acceptable choice in the absence of any alternative, but I won't be picking this up again.

(Served in a fluted strange)
A- This beer has a straw yellow crystal clear body with a cascade of tiny bubbles flowing upward. The head is a big thick creamy white layer that turns rocky very quickly but last and last.
S- The smell of noble hops is strong with sulfur note in the finish. There is a note of cooked corn in the pale malt note.
T- This beer starts with a zippy hop flavor combined with carbonic acid bite. There is a sweet pale malt flavor that is crisp with some sulfur notes. The hops and carbonic acid lingers on the taste buds still fizzing away for a bit.
M- This beer has a medium-light mouthfeel with a watery texture that makes it feel lighter.
D- This light lager has some nice qualities but the carbonation really dominates the beer. It does enhance the hops a bit, and I would drink this over soda pop, but it just doesn't have the depth of flavor.

500ml bottle. Strange peel-off enclosure, which combines a traditional cap with a pop-top pull tab, to create a weirdly easy-to-use hybrid, if you can grok that particular twist of the wrist, that is.
This beer pours a crystal clear pale golden colour, with a teeming amount of foamy, webbed, cushioned white head, which leaves a broad Pangaea-scope of lace around the glass as it lazily sinks away.
It smells of barley graininess, some earthy yeastiness, a bit of muddled lemon oil, and musty grassy hops. The taste is browned apples, bready, yeasty pale malt, musty field honey, some slight drupe fruitiness, and a less than subtle weedy, leafy hoppiness.
The carbonation is average, if a wee bit frothy, the body a decent medium-light weight, with nothing getting in the way of a certain abject smoothness - kind of like there's a KGB or Russian mafia diktat for suggesting otherwise. It finishes off-dry, the bready, yeasty sweetness persisting, with just a bit of fruit and weakly earthy hops joining in this particular end game.
Well, I was expecting a metric-tonne shitload's worth of Euro-skank, given the clear green bottle, and other unjust prejudices. Turns out, one should not judge a book by its cover, as this is a decently malty, softly-tinged hoppy Euro-lager. Maybe not up to the stringent standards of the Teutonic style source, but still agreeable enough - mea culpa, tovarisch.

Part of the Baltika gift set. Poured into the branded glass it comes with.
Straw yellow body with fluffy white cushion of head resting on top. Head lasts fairly long and leaves patchy lace behind. Smells of bread and hay with some lemon lingering in the background. Doughy malt, bright lemon, and a kiss of hop bitterness in the finish. Crisp. Alcohol gets a little rough as it warms. Light bodied with low carbonation. Not watery, but close to it. A simple lager, just make sure you don't let it warm up to quickly. Better served cold.

Situation: New Year's Eve--round one, thanks to the Baltika gift pack (8.99 witha glass)
Glassware: the Baltika gift glass...
Appearance: light, almost golden yellow body with a nice cirrus cloud of off-white head; diligent effervescence--not too bad on the approach...
Aroma: classic Eastern European pilsner scents--hay, honey and sharp sugars...
Palate: medium-bodied, puckerish on the lips and lacking on the backend; the aftertaste, albeit weak, has some staying power...
Taste: rounded, heavily malted lager--sweetness of sugar and honey; clean and smooth, with a hint of complexity...
Overall: excellent lacing and the Baltika glass makes this a compelling drink on New Year's Eve, although I bet if this were next Thursday night, I might not be as festively aroused by its aesthetics... pours well with potato skins, pizza bites and mozzarella sticks...

Grabbed this in a pinch to go with a grilled chicken dinner.
Pours a nice clear gold with a two inch head that dropped to a half inch and stuck around "literally".
Has a grainy, macro, slightly skunky nose that had me thinking drainpour?
Thankfully it wasn't skunked at all going by the taste which was moderately sweet, grainy again and clean on the finish..Nice.
Mouthfeel was thin to medium and carbonation was lively.
Green bottle notwithstanding, this was a refreshing and tasty, pale lager. A pleasant surprise.

I did not like this beer. It was fresh, part of the LCBO gift pack. No direct sunlight, though you cannot stop the less disasterous flourescent lighting in the store. The beer had a light yellow colour to it, carbonation bubbleswere apparent, and there was a big cheesy head. The horse and cheese aromas made it unapproachable. Boozy and sugary.Watery.

A - Honey gold, but more pale yellow in the light. This one has a crispy snow white head that sits at about one finger and deposits some nice lace on the glass. Lots of champaign like bubbles rise to the top.
S - Saltine cracker, sea salt, and some peppery hops. Grassy.
T - Nice and fresh. Lots of sweet yeast and crisp crackery malts. The hops are focused on spicy white pepper notes and green grass.
M - Crisp and clean, but leaning toward medium bodied. The finish is very dry, but cleans up quickly leaving very little aftertaste.
D - A very simple and drinkable brew. Nothing special going on here....seems like a fairly run of the mill German Pils IMO, but I could drink a few of these with no problems. Might be nice with lighter foods.

A - pale, clear yellow with a thick, soft cap of dense, foamy, white head that has great retention
S - grass, straw, apples, sweet, caramel
T - apples, sweet, bread, warming alcohol in the finish
M - warm, light to medium bodied, well carbonated, crisp
By appearance this is better than your average lager. It smells like a good effort was made. By teste it's too sweet and fruity. The bready malts try to save the day but to no avail. I'll pass on this in the future.

The Baltika #7 is really not much different that the other golden Baltika beers in appearance, aroma, or taste. The only thing that seems to vary is the strength. It pours a clear golden body with yellow highlights and a full and foamy bright-white head that dissipates quickly. It keeps a decent collar through most of the glass, and even leaves some lace. The aroma displays some semi-grainy malt with a light sweetness. The body is medium with a soft carbonation that helps to give the impression of a fuller body than actually exists. The flavor is as the nose suggests, with an adjunct laden but still mildly grainy maltiness. The bitterness is restrained, and it finishes with some gently lingering sweetness. Overall, it's not a bad beer, but if I want an overly sweet adjunct lager I think I'll just stay domestic and have a Pabst Blue Ribbon!

Poured into a plastic cup. Minimal head, just enough to cover the surface. Golden, transparent color.
Smells like barley, other grains. Pleasant.
Watery taste at first, progressively sweeter.
High carbonation, which dampens the mood. Crisp and light body.
Not horrible, not great.

this was an excellent beer that can surprise most beer drinkers. It was light but full of flavor, that almost resembled Spaten. A nice crisp taste allowed it to go down easily and quench my thirst. It trully should be highly recommended. As a master of beer, I would say it is at the moment one of my top 25.

Today's weather forecast: Dry Like Toast
Ted Danson and his Oceana cohorts met up once again at Bruce and Karen Cahill's spectacular pad in Laguna to raise funds for the fishes. Oceana has fund-raising to-dos all over Southern California and is the world's largest ocean conservation group. They change legislation. They clean up the sea. And I'll add they throw fine fetes. At their 5th annual SeaChange Summer Party in Laguna, there was a silent auction and cocktails on one level of the Cahill's hillside pile and dinner on another, with fabulous views of what the org protects all around. Morgan Freeman has long supported the group and was all smiles this year, saying, "I have the utmost faith after seeing and feeling the spirit of the people at this event tonight and having worked with the dedicated people at Oceana that this can happen, that we can save the oceans." Awards went to Tricia and Michael Berns and South Coast Plaza. In years past, celebs like Jeff Bridges performed (with the sea to his back). This year? Jeff Goldblum donned a chapeau and joined the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra to entertain guests. Other famous faces in the crowd included Alexandra Cousteau (yes, of that Cousteau family), AimeeTeegarden, Jenna Ushkowitz, Dennis Haysbert, and super green Ed Begley Jr.

text: February 6, 2012 Big Game Torpedoes: 15 Fantastic Figurados *Price is a sale price, and subject to change. Tapered Head Heaven By Gary Korb In case you haven't noticed, the cigars in this month's Buying Guide sampler are all tapered head cigars, also referred to as "Figurados." A figurado is also identified by its non-straight-sided shape, which is why they are given names like Torpedo, Belicoso, Pyramid, Diademas, Perfecto, and Double Perfecto (tapered at both ends). Not surprisingly, the names of these frontmarks originated in Cuba. Since figurados are commonly rolled to wider ring gauges, they naturally offer more flavor and complexity. Moreover, by design, the atypical tapered head is intended to concentrate the smoke as it passes through the head's narrow pathway. The narrower you make the cut, the more concentrated the smoke, whereas the wider you make the cut, the thicker the smoke. To the novice, Torpedo cigars, Belicosos, and Pyramids look identical, but there is a difference. Torpedoes have a rounder tapered head with a body that's a little thicker in the middle (traditionally bulged), a flat foot, and are normally about 6 to 6? inches in length. Belicosos are generally about the same length as Torpedoes, but have a much sharper head. Pyramids share the same pointed head as Belicosos, but the body tends to flare out to a wider ring at the foot. Of course, frontmarks are named at the discretion of the manufacturer. For example, the Mi Barrio "El Billetero" is a Belicoso with a fancy name. Most Pyramids (or Piramides), are labeled as a "No.2," like the legendary Montecristo No.2. Figurados are often higher in price, too. One reason is the extra tobacco used in the cigar. But it has more to do with the skill required to roll them properly, which is why figurados are only assigned to the factory's most experienced tabaqueros. If you're a regular cigar smoker and have never smoked a figurado, you're really missing out on some marvelous cigars. How to clip a figurado V-cutters tend to be the most effective way to clip tapered head cigars. Here's why: For one, the V-cutter clips the head of the cigar leaving a cleft-shaped cut. It should be deep enough to give you a good draw, too. A standard double or single blade cutter will also do the trick, but if you cut the head too far down, the wrapper could unfurl, and there's little hope for repairing it. Cut it too short and you may have a draw problem. That said, if you prefer using a double blade cutter, here's a fool-proof way to get a good cut: Open the cutter and lay it flat on a table. Place the head in the middle of the cutter, clip it, and test the draw. The first clip will probably be too short. If so, repeat the process, take another draw, and see if it improved. It usually takes about two or three cuts to get the cigar to draw well, plus, you'll keep the wrapper intact. This also allows you to customize the amount of smoke you want to draw through the head.

One man told me what he said to a couple of highschool girls sent to interview him as to what causes homelessness. He told them that dropping out of school is the first step.
A great many of the homeless people I meet started out with two strikes against them. Many have alcoholic parents, people who are too consumed with their own issues to have much left over for those who need and deserve their nurturing care. I believe that one huge contributor to the woes we put ourselves through is the lack of mentors. Every child should have at least one person unconditionally on their side.
I am a foster mentor for a Newberg teenager. As I navigate the system and try to keep her on the straight and narrow I am finding that far too many of our foster kids age out of the system, and without any support system or family to fall back on many wind up homeless.
I hope we will all come to see that there is no one reason for homelessness. Each homeless person has a story to share and a reason why they are without a place to call home.

Morgan Frazier.
Blessed with girl-next-door good looks—tall, slender with long, blonde locks and emotive doe-eyes—you'll want to hug her immediately, and she'll want to hug you, too. Yes, she's that girl. After a brief chat with her, you realize the incredible work ethic that not only carried her on this long and complex journey, but continues to drive her to grow better with each song she writes. Yes, she writes her own songs. And you haven't yet heard her sing.
At a time when country music is experiencing a virtual drought when it comes to women's voices on the radio, Morgan Frazier has arrived. It's a confident statement, but the Breckenridge, Texas native is truly a breath of fresh air for the format. While other female newcomers are positioning themselves as the next Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood or Taylor Swift, Morgan is simply being Morgan.

The other thing Chelsea Manning said, and more updates
By now, we all now that Pfc. Bradley Manning, who was sentenced to 35 years on Aug. 21 for leaking classified U.S. government documents, would like to enter the next phase of her life as a woman named Chelsea. "I want everyone to know the real me," Manning said in a statement. "I am Chelsea Manning. I am a female."
But the message on gender identity wasn't Manning's only public statement the day the sentencing was decided. There was also this, a heartfelt explanation of why the whistleblower did what she did, titled, "Sometimes you have to pay a heavy price to live in a free society." Manning writes:
"It was not until I was in Iraq and reading secret military reports on a daily basis that I started to question the morality of what we were doing. It was at this time I realized in our efforts to meet this risk posed to us by the enemy, we have forgotten our humanity. We consciously elected to devalue human life both in Iraq and Afghanistan. When we engaged those that we perceived were the enemy, we sometimes killed innocent civilians. Whenever we killed innocent civilians, instead of accepting responsibility for our conduct, we elected to hide behind the veil of national security and classified information in order to avoid any public accountability."
Meanwhile, Bay Area supporters who rallied for Manning at the San Francisco Pride Parade and every other juncture – including attending the trial in Fort Meade, gathering on the day verdict was announced and most recently launching a campaign calling for the WikiLeaker's pardon – also gathered at Justin Hermann Plaza Aug. 21 in response to the sentence.
The SFPD and CCTV
Yesterday, we told you about CommunityCam, a new online mapping platform that displays surveillance camera locations throughout San Francisco. We'd placed a phone call to Sgt. Dennis Toomer of the San Francisco Police Department's Media Relations Unit to ask whether SFPD has an eye toward collaboration on this effort, but didn't hear back until after publishing the post. In a voice message, Toomer explained the manner in which SFPD utilizes CCTV footage to investigate crimes. He said:
"The SFPD does not own or operate any [permanently installed] cameras. There are some cameras throughout the city, but those are operated by the Department of Emergency Management. Consequently, we don't monitor cameras either. At events like the Pride Parade, Bay to Breakers, we have put up our own cameras along the parade routes, or along the race routes, just for the purpose of deploying resources.
"As soon as the event is over, those cameras come back down, and we don't store any kind of video footage. What we do is, we rely on the public, the commercial businesses, banks, stores, you name it, to provide us with video if a crime occurs in that area – but it's not something that we monitor. We ask the public to provide us with any kind of video tape, or cameras or surveillance that they operate. We don't maintain our own system. Again, the city cameras that are around in certain areas – like the Tenderloin, Bayview, I believe out in Ingleside – those are all operated and managed by DEM."
Where the Uber meets the road
We recently reported that Uber, the smartphone-enabled ride service that does not wish to be lumped in with rideshares or taxis, is facing a class action lawsuit from drivers who claim they were cheated out of hard-earned tips.
Uber spokesperson Andrew Noyes initially declined to comment, but has since emailed an official response (which does not actually contain any answers to the Guardian's questions). Here is what Noyes had to say about the lawsuit, which Uber has not yet received:
"While we have not yet been served with this complaint, the allegations made against our company are entirely without merit and we will defend ourselves vigorously. Uber values its partners above all else and our technology platform has allowed thousands of drivers to generate an independent wage and build their own small businesses on their own time. Frivolous lawsuits like this cost valuable time, money and resources that are better spent making cities more accessible, opening up more possibilities for riders and providing more business for drivers."
The military brig is not pleasant but fortunately it is not the gang rape gang murder gang festival that is the CDC.
But no picnic either, especially if you insist in dressing like a woman in a man's prison. Or will he demand to be incarcerated with woman?
Lucky for him this wasn't a capital punishment as the Fed's are real efficient at the death penalty.
It's kind of a moot point now. But what is the motivation here? Was anyone asking to REALLY know the "real" Chelsea? Is the transsexual community now going to rally around Manning despite the fact she's a convicted criminal? Regardless - it's not going to help. America is not kind to convicted spies unless its swapping them for its own spies and unfortunately here Manning is a spy without a powerful patron. She'll be released when she's near 65. By then no one will care.
reason other than that he is of apparently indeterminate gender and sexual identity.
Like that matters when you are betraying your nation.
Some of what Manning released was info which should have been released earlier and which implicated the military in some pretty awful stuff - including the killing of journalists. That being said Manning was bound by oath to protect the secrets to which he had been entrusted and he (at the time he was a male) chose not to do so - for that Manning cannot get off scot-free.
This is, as usual, a complicated issue but honestly I really don't understand why gender identity comes into it. It's like the case of convicted Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard. I'm Jewish and a Zionist and I don't support releasing Pollard because he's Jewish and a Zionist and was spying for an ally (Israel). That's no excuse to spy and betray your country whether I agree with the alleged ultimate aims of Pollard (the security of Israel) or not. And American Jews who argue in favor of Pollard's release give credence to the antisemitic canard that they're 5th columnists who are only loyal to Judaism and Israel above all else. Same thing with Manning - trans or not trans he's an American first.
What about the crimes against humanity perpetrated by U.S. government during the Iraq war? Read the Nuremberg principles:
"Any person who commits an act which constitutes a crime under international law is responsible therefore and liable to punishment. The fact that internal law does not impose a penalty for an act which constitutes a crime under international law does not relieve the person who committed the act from responsibility under international law. The fact that a person acted pursuant to order of his Government or of a superior does not relieve him from responsibility under international law, provided a moral choice was in fact possible to him".
Manning was faced with a moral choice, and a responsibility to expose war crimes and crimes against humanity. He acted responsibly and in accordance with international law.
Moreover, Manning's gender identity issue has nothing to do with it, except for a few homophobic commenters like Anon. People supported Manning long before she came out for all the reasons stated above. History will exonerate her, just as it has for Daniel Ellsberg.
But of course you know best, right?
I'm going out on a limb here, but I tend to think he'll get it. A lot will change in the next few years. Public opinion is already undergoing a seismic shift on the surveillance issue because of the actions of other heroes who followed in the footsteps of this courageous soldier. People will continue to press the government to release her (and personally I could care less about her sexual orientation), and I don't think that future administrations will want to continue with the embarrassment of having this black mark.
The entire national security apparatus would threaten to walk out en masse if she were released. That's basically the only thing that stopped Clinton from releasing Jonathan Pollard in a vain quest to "cement" his legacy by getting Israel to sign a comprehensive Middle East peace deal - the heads of CIA, FBI, NSA etc... threatened to resign. She'll be in jail for at least another 20 years - after that I could see parole as being an option.
Good, we'd better off without it.
I'm supporting Manning's conviction, and almost everyone I know says the same thing. And that's in San Francisco - imagine what they think in Texas.
is guaranteed to be moronic.
A German invasion of the continental United States would have been extremely unlikely even in the event that the country listened to the Republicans and stayed out of WWII. And the intelligence community had very little to do with the victory, which was mostly due to German overextension on the Eastern Front and the resulting Russian pushback. "Very little" is actually being generous. "Virtually nothing" is more accurate.
To say that there is no mechanism for an Arabic takeover of the United States is to state something that is beyond obvious.
years - one third of his sentence.
Depends on good behaviour, and I've no idea how much his gender antics may compromise that.
But he'd still be under 40 which isn't bad for him, given the seriousness of his crimes.
which in and of itself brings it down to 9. But her lawyer explained why it's 7. I'm not a lawyer, you're not a lawyer, so I defer to the opinion of the lawyer. The way things are going, I'm not sure he'll even serve that. Everyone I know wants Manning freed. And I live in America. Imagine what people in the rest of the world think.
Keep this goiong please, reat job!
Is still sitting in jail.
He has a fairly large lobby of Quislings on his side.
I have little issue with what manning did, I actually think its great, but he will be doing his time.
Ironic, given the topic.
Pollard transmitted military secrets to a foreign nation. Manning exposed illegal acts to publicity. Theres a difference. Manning is a whistleblower. It is the acts he exposed that threaten and damage American constitutional democracy. Pollards act was espionage. Most Americans regard Mannings act as good citizenship. Me too.
evidence for the proposition that Manning is some kind of hero except from a few predictable sources on the far left.
If you have noticed, there has been almost no public expressions of outrage at his conviction and sentence. If anything, people think he got off quite lightly, as he (or she) could be out before age 40.
Now we can focus on the bigger issues like freeing Pussy Riot. Any chance the SFBG will discuss the Christopher Lane murder? No, I didn't think so. He should have had the good sense to get shot at Fruitvale Station.
A former deputy PM, IIRC. He called for a boycott of the United States because of the runaway gun culture, adding that an Australian who visits the US has a 5 times greater likelihood of dying than if they'd stayed in Australia.
I don't know about a boycott, but he's right that the US is a dangerous country. You're right, the Guardian should do an article on the Christopher Lane shooting. It brings the gun control issue back into the spotlight.
Pacific Heights type areas, probably only slightly more than in Australia. Chance of being shot in other areas, probably ten times that of Australia.
The gun culture you speak of is actually thug culture, something that gets good reviews in the Bay Guardian music section.
