3.81/5 rDev -3.8%
650ml bottle. Another winter ale flavoured with orange and chocolate. Even though I've had enough of that particular combination to last until the end of 2013, as per usual, keep these winter beers a 'comin, I say. And, ok, kiddo, now let the grown-ups have a go at this one.
This beer pours a very dark chestnut brown hue, with slight cola highlights, and three fingers of puffy, foamy beige head, which leaves some drooping cirrus cloud lace around the glass as it evenly seeps away.
It smells of sharp, bitter orange rind, bittersweet cocoa nibs, lightly roasted, somewhat nutty caramel malt, a bit of Grand Marnier booziness, and tame earthy, leafy hops. The taste is thin chocolate syrup, toasted grainy caramel malt, ethereal fleshy orange citrus, an acrid earthy nuttiness, middling, flinty alcohol, and some struggling wet leafy hops.
The bubbles are pretty soma-esque, and little more, the body a sturdy medium-full weight, and mostly smooth, a slightly pithy essence the pea to this here princess. It finishes off-dry, the cocoa really the only lingering mainstage player facing the dregs of the remaindered quasi-bitter hops.
A brash, relatively big winter ale - in a number of ways, even with one of the guest ingredients bailing out way too early. Thankfully its counterpart easily takes up the slack, and combined with the leavening hops and ABV, make for a tasty, heartening winter tipple, especially as these inhuman temperatures seem to be stuck in for a lengthened spell. Or not, that's part of the so-called fun, I guess.

Their description of "Rich, strong and decadent" rings true; it's not at all heavy or boozy.
Black with a tan head, no retention or lace. Aroma of pumperknickel bread, though the taste is more of a mole sauce. The cocoa is certainly apparent, and it is supported by a pleasant spice, some dark bitterness and a slight alcohol warmth.
The moderate body has a slightly drying finish.
Overall, this brew really works. This was a perfect apres ski (afternoon at Big White), though it might go well with Mexican food, artisanal cheese or even some deserts.

650ml bomber poured into tulip 19/12/13
A looks almost black, cola edge goes half way to the other side, two fingers of loose mocha foam quickly falls leaving a few random patches of lace
S coco powder, cold coffee, faint licorice, orange pekoe tea, some burnt sugar, faint molasses and booze
T just a little charred wood to go with what I smell, a hint of booze but not much, much like the nose but just a little darker, the cold coffees more like espresso and there's a hint of root beer
M a little thinner then expected from the color but far from thin, a little heat and enough bubbles to give it some life, chocolate and licorice on the finish
O decent beer from Fernie, fairly straightforward but it is what it claims
respectable but nothing to blow you away, easy enough to drink for 8% and its priced well enough but I doubt I'll buy it again with so many others rolling in to Alberta

4.01/5 rDev +1.3%
A - tar black, two fingers of mocha head retained its tower very nicely, random spot lacing
S - significant chocolate, some roastiness, grains, and a bit of sour fruit
T - cocoa and mellow citrus give this almost a 'chocolate orange' treat flavour, some burnt and coffee maltiness, mild spice
M - rich and full, creamy with just a hint of a dusty smoky feel, finishes with a bit of a boozy tingle
O - this is big but not abrasive, the cocoa and orange flavours definitely shine through while not taking away from its big malty winter ale backbone, well done

3.8/5 rDev -4%
A: Black, 2 fingers of mocha head which dissipates quickly, leaving nice lacing on the glass
S: Vanilla and chocolate malts, hint of bitter orange and a rich malt background
T: Rich maltiness, chocolate, slight orange notes, quite sweet, not much in terms of bitterness, chocolate malts dominate this brew, with orange peel as a kicker
M: Thick body, very rich and smooth, good amount of carbonation, very enjoyable bitter-sweet finish
O: Very tasty, the chocolate and orange are perfectly balanced by the malt sweetness, leading to a sweet but not too sweet winter warmer, beer is so rich you barely notice the 8% alc, maybe a touch too heavy

3.86/5 rDev -2.5%
Appearance - Pours a dark cola brown with a finger width of frothy mocha head.
Smell - Cocoa, roasted malts, orange peel.
Taste - You get all the flavours as picked up in the smell. Nice spice palate (I think I detect nutmeg?). Warm flavours.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Dry finish.
Overall - A unique twist to a winter ale by Fernie. Steers away from the traditional vanilla/cinnamon repertoire and goes for bolder, warmer flavours.

A big time winter warmer from the good folks over at Fernie Brewing Co who never seem to disappoint. This is one of their wilder and crazier beers and based on the ingredients and on the name alone, I had to grab a bottle. This winter in Calgary has been more pleasant than almost anywhere else in Canada, however, I never shy away from a big, bold brew. Chilled it in the fridge at maybe a tad too cold for a tad too long, and as such, poured a deep, dark cola colour with little to no head and no lacing whatsoever. Smelled of deep chocolate malts, coffee and toast, with a hint of orange peel. A first sip led me to believe this was a stout, but as it warms and sits a while, it's much more like a porter. A very nice, warming Gran Marnier finish and I trust this is due in part to the higher abv and due to the orange peel. I now wish this beer would have been available before Christmas in Alberta as it would have been awesome with a few chocolates and perhaps some brownies or a nice Christmas pudding! Keep making these big, bold brews FBC, you did a great job!

The Lions and DE Cliff Avril have something in common: Neither likes the idea of the franchise tag. At the NFL Scouting Combine, Lions general manager Martin Mayhew said the club wants to sign Avril to a multiyear contract and to avoid giving him the franchise tag. "I think it's the best thing for him and the best thing for us," Mayhew told reporters. The franchise tender, if signed by Avril, likely would mean a higher salary-cap number for the star defensive end in 2012 than the Lions would like, and it probably also would represent less money than Avril, among the top pass rushers slated to become free agents, would garner in a longer-term deal. However, the tag, while "not a good option for us," as Mayhew noted, would be the lesser of two evils, the Lions' GM said. "The only worse option is playing without him. We don't want to play without him."


text: Best Beers | March 2013 22 Cold Ones Worth Cracking Open This Afternoon by Nicole Perry 4/02/13 12 Reactions 109 Shares Print 13 76 12 8 0 Last month we celebrated an unofficial — but hardly insignificant — food holiday: beer month. In its honor (and, OK, partially just for fun) we sipped our way through a legion of frothy brews, buffed up on brewing knowledge, and added a splash (or more) to our favorite dishes. In the process we discovered — and revisited — a variety of brews ranging from bold and boisterous to crisp and refreshing; click through for our top picks, and share yours in the comments. — Additional reporting by Anna Monette Roberts 2012 Goose Island Matilda Belgian Style Ale What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Goose Island's Matilda is creamy, sturdy, pleasantly bitter, and an easy sipper, making it a staple of POPSUGAR happy hours. Likewise, we'd suggest it as a solid choice for bringing to a party as it appeals to a large variety of palates. 1 / 22 Russian River Sanctification What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If you've never tried a fermented sour beer before, then salty, saline Russian River Sanctification is worth trying. The golden ale is fermented with brettanomyces, a yeast that gives the beer a mouth-puckering, sour flavor. There's not a hint of sweetness in this bottle. Those who drink kombucha or apple cider vinegar will appreciate it, and we think it would be best paired with something fatty like grilled cheese or sausage. 2 / 22 Bear Republic Racer 5 IPA What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 For those unfamiliar with IPAs, Bear Republic Racer 5 IPA is a great India Pale Ale to start with, since it's creamy, mellow, and spicy like black pepper rather than bitter like grapefruit. We found this IPA to be less carbonated than the others, which some may find more desirable in a beer. 3 / 22 Czechvar What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 While Czechvar is referred to as Budweiser in its homeland, don't mistake it for Anheuser-Busch's light-bodied classic American brew. Hoppy, bitter, and heavier than a typical beer of this style, our food team collectively swooned at our first sip of the Czech import and enjoyed it even more when it was paired with a nibble of salty beer-infused cheddar cheese. 4 / 22 Almanac Beer Co. Farmer's Reserve No. 1 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Barrel-aged and bolstered with unusual additions including plums and cabernet, muscat, and concord grapes, Almanac's Farmer's Reserve No. 1 is unlike any beer we've ever tried both in terms of its production and its flavor. We'll be sipping this sour stunner on park picnics and pairing it with cheese and charcuterie plates as its berry nose, fermented funk, and prominent oak and grape flavors make it exceptionally food-friendly. 6 / 22 Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 We were hardly shocked to find this "extra IPA" to be intensely bitter, though that hardly put off our palates. Sharp but light-bodied and smooth, this IPA from Sierra Nevada doesn't mess around, in a good — nay, great way. 6 / 22 Trumer Pils What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Our day-drinking-friendly, picnic pick of the bunch, Trumer Pils hits a perfect balance of crisp and malty and has a lingering, pleasant bitter finish. We'll be enjoying a bottle throughout the balmy Spring and Summer seasons. 7 / 22 Deschutes Brewery Mirror Pond Pale Ale What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Fruity, bittersweet, and light-bodied, Deschutes Brewery's Mirror Pond Pale Ale is an approachable yet intriguing crowd-pleaser. Even better, it and the brewery's other plethora of brews have homebrew recipes listed on the website, a boon to beer-brewing enthusiasts. 8 / 22 Guinness Draught What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Worried that stouts are thick and bitter like sludgy tar? Fear not! Guinness Draught is nothing of the sort. We found it to be lighter in body and finish than the standard stout. Hints of coffee, toasted nuts, and soy sauce fill the bottle, followed by a deep, smooth finish. 9 / 22 He'Brew Hop Manna IPA What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Kitschy name aside, Schmaltz Brewing Company's beers mean business — the delightfully floral Hop Manna IPA even took home a gold medal at the World Beer Championships. While this brew has many positive attributes, we most appreciated how drinkable it is while maintaining a complex bitter finish typical of the style. 11 / 22 Hitachino Nest Real Ginger Brew What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 At first whiff of this Japanese ginger-infused brew, a heavy soy-sauce-like aroma is unmistakeable. This savory quality holds up on first sip, though it surprised us with a lighter body and subtle ginger flavor, which would pair well with Asian cuisine, particularly sushi. 11 / 22 Deschutes Brewery Red Chair NWPA What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Named for a ski lift at Oregon's Mt. Bachelor mountain — hence the red chair reference and imagery — this pale ale is perfectly suited to snuggling up with after a day shredding through clouds of fresh powder. Bitter, dry, and with a pleasantly sweet aftertaste, it's worth snapping up a bottle (or two) before its limited-run Winter season comes to a close. 12 / 22 Crabbie's Alcoholic Ginger Beer What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A bit earthier, less fizzy, and spicier than nonalcoholic ginger beer, Crabbie's is otherwise a near-perfect analogue to the refreshing soda and could be subbed for that 1:1 in cocktails. We'll be trying it in a dark and stormy, as well as sipping it over ice with a squeeze of lime for a lighter option. 13 / 22 Firestone Pale Ale What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 While we try not to judge a book beer by its cover (or label rather), we'll admit to initially having been enticed by Firestone Pale Ale's eye-catching graphic design and branding. Thankfully, in this case eating with our eyes first was a good call; its fragrant, fruity, and bitter flavor profile kept us coming back for sip after sip. 14 / 22 Hoegaarden What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 We couldn't think of a greater beer to drink during the Summer than Hoegaarden, till then we'll let it mentally transport us to warmer days. The thick froth and clovey, orange-blossomy scent had us salivating before we took our first sip. The witbier is so crisp and light, we're apt to think even beer naysayers couldn't resist a bottle. 15 / 22 Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 With virtually no bitterness to be found, Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA must be the sweetest, smoothest IPA we've tried thus far. It's like a chocolate croissant in beer form. 16 / 22 St. Bernardus Wit Belgian Abbey Ale What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Slightly cloudy, nutty, spicy, crisp, and exceptionally wheat-forward, this Belgian ale is just the sort of beverage we'd like to leisurely enjoy on a mellow night out or in. 17 / 22 Lagunitas New DogTown Pale Ale What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Coriander, bell pepper, and grapefruit peel are some of the strong flavors we picked up while sipping on Lagunitas New DogTown Pale Ale. This is a bitter beer for sure, but the bright grapefruit-like finish made us want to keep drinking. 18 / 22 Anchor California Lager What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 We're admittedly partial to anything local favorite Anchor Brewing brews up, but bias aside, this robust lager is an excellent option for those looking to branch out into heavier styles of beer, like IPAs. Prominent notes of toasted hops invite on first whiff, giving way to a flavor that's a hair more bitter than the typical lager, ending with a crisp and refreshing finish. 19 / 22 Pliny the Elder What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Pliny the Elder and its elusive sister-brew Pliny the Younger are practically cult favorites amongst beer aficionados, and for good reason. Crack a bottle open, and a grassy-green, hop-forward aroma wafts out, followed by notes of orange zest and clove for a complex perfume; take a sip, and those flavors linger on the palate, with a bitter, almost tannic finish. While lovely sipped without food, we're even more eager to pair it with a rich and meaty dish like Cuban mojo pork or a platter of assorted charcuterie. 20 / 22 Lindemans Gueuze Cuvée René What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Sour-beer fans, listen up: Lindemans' gueuze — a traditional style of Belgian lambic that's twice fermented, resulting in a tart Champagne-like flavor — is just the ticket. While this unusual varietal might not be for everyone — we had a few in our group of tasters who found it too acidic — those who enjoyed it were very much on board, touting its similarity to hard cider or a crisp white wine as positives. 21 / 22 Eel River I.P.A. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Notably the first beer to be brewed with organic malts and hops, Eel River's I.P.A. won us over with a sophisticated and complex assortment of flavors. Floral on the nose, dark, nutty, and heavy-bodied on first sip, with a crisp distinctive finish that lingers, this beer might sound like it has too much going on, but trust us, it doesn't. It even became a fast favorite amongst this roundup of winning brews. 22 / 22 13 76 12 8 0 Back to Homepage Comments Read More Food ShoppingTaste TestParty PlanningBeer beer This Barbecue Sauce Gets a Helping Hand From 2 Secret Ingredients 6/30 Celebrate With a Cold One!

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

Frank Gore has been sidelined for most of the game with a sore hip and is unlikely to return, but that has hardly slowed the San Francisco ground attack, which is slicing through the Cardinals defense with the greatest of ease.
Midway through the second quarter, the 49ers already have 105 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns. It should come as no surprise to Arizona that the 49ers would want to attack with their power rushing game even with Gore out of the game.
Though Anthony Dixon had the first San Francisco rushing TD, it has been former Eagles back Brian Westbrook who is getting the bulk of the touches. So far Westbrook has nine carries for 43 yards, including the eight-yard scamper in the end zone to give the Niners a 21-3 lead in the second quarter.

Open source and SaaS offerings rethink the database
Key-value repositories and other alternatives take aim at simplicity, scalability, and cloud servicesFollow @peterwayner
The world of low-rent key-value storage silos is exploding. Here's a list of some of the more prominent new projects:
Thrift, a tool that Facebook.com built and donated to the Apache software project, isn't really a database. In fact, it's more of a pre-compiler that converts a file describing the data structures into a pile of code in your choice of languages. This code may need some extra libraries (Java comes with some methods that serialize the data to an output stream), but it's ready to include with your own code. The project includes formatters for many of the major languages (including C, Perl, Java, PHP, and Python), and it aims to honor the various idioms used by the programmers familiar with a language. You give it the schema and it does the rest.
[ In this brave, new world of databases, find out whether Amazon SimpleDB, Apache CouchDB, Google App Engine, or Persevere come out on top in InfoWorld Test Center's review. ]
ThruDB is a layer of glue that joins together the Lucene text indexing library with Thrift and a good set of tools for storing the data in the cloud. One of the more sophisticated options will store the data locally on a disk for fast storage while sending out a duplicate set of transactions to Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service). There's no official release yet, so you'll need to grab the code from the Subversion repository.
MongoDB accepts JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) pairs of keys and values for storage across several nodes and then builds a full text index of the values, making it possible to search deep inside of data structures. 10gen, the company that launched the MongoDB open source project, is also spinning off an app server, Babble, that sits on top of it. Auto-sharding -- that is, shared nothing partitioning across many distributed servers -- is said to be arriving in the second quarter of 2009.
There are some tools designed to add horizontal partitioning to traditional databases. Hibernate Shards and HiveDB can work together to direct queries to the right server in a cluster of databases. They work with any database with a Hibernate interface.
Harry Potter readers may hate the name, but Project Voldemort is a "big, distributed, persistent, fault-tolerant hash table." You put in key-value pairs and they get serialized to disk somewhere in a cloud. There are no queries. You can't ask for fields within a certain range. You just ask for a key and get the result. When data is stored to two different nodes at once, as might happen in an ACID-free environment like this, Voldemort uses a vector clock to choose a winner. It's very, very lightweight. You might even try to make a joke about the real Voldemort's shadow-like presence.

This is by far the best quality DC barrel connector of this particular type and size that we have found, and we have tried many, from a variety of different electronic supliers. The termination tabs are robust, the tolerances are consistent, the insulator wall thickness is greater, and the threads of the insulator to the conductor are not as subject to cross-threading as in some others. We use solid core puew silver as a conductor, and on other such connectors, the tabs proved to be flimsy. No need to look any further if you are looking for the best quality such connector.

Discussion point: Does this say anything about the organization's view of Vince Young?
Looks to be a signing strictly for depth purposes.
The never ending search for corner depth continues.
Personally, I'd rather they see what Samari has left in the tank considering anyone we sign that couldn't unseat Harper is 4th or 5th on the depth chart at best. Vinny Fuller is a lock for the nickle back spot.
I would assume Jones will be used primarily as a returner. He only had 2 catches last season.
Not devestated about him leaving, just hate to lose anybody to the Ravens.
Sources have confirmed the Titans have signed Green Bay Packers restricted free agent cornerback Jarrett Bush to an offer sheet. Upon receipt of the signed offer sheet, the Packers will have seven days to either match the contract or decline to match, thereby making the contract with the Titans valid. Should Green Bay decline to match the offer, the Titans will not have to provide a draft pick as compensation because Bush was tendered at a level that only guaranteed the Packers a ''right of first refusal.''From Titans Radio. Hat tip to Michaeltastic who had it in the Fanshots first.

Center for Christian Spirituality
Center for Christian Spirituality
The Center for Christian Spirituality (CCS) may be a place for you to explore the ways God is acting in your life.
Established in 1976, the CCS educates and forms leaders to offer ministries of spiritual guidance. Drawing upon the rich resources of an accredited seminary, the CCS offers degrees in both spiritual direction and the spiritual guidance of children. The CCS also invites you simply to take a course or come for special programs and events.
What is Spiritual Direction?
The CCS understands spiritual direction as any ministry that nurtures the spiritual lives of the people of God. Such ministries include spiritual direction, group spiritual guidance, the teaching of prayer practices, liturgy design, preaching, retreat and quiet day leadership, and prophetic leadership grounded in prayer. CCS courses explore many facets of Christian spirituality and offer students both an academic foundation and experiential learning for their future ministries.
Who are CCS Students?
Students come for spiritual enrichment, deeper understanding and experience of their faith, discernment of God's guidance, sabbatical study, and education and formation for new spiritual guidance ministries in the church and the world. Students might be parish lay leaders, parish clergy, chaplains, artists and performers, business leaders, teachers, homemakers, or employees of non-profit organizations. The CCS prepares leaders for ministries of spiritual guidance in a variety of settings: congregations, religious communities, schools, health chaplaincies, and vocational and religious counseling centers.
ACADEMIC PROGRAMS in Spiritual Direction
Through the CCS, General Seminary offers Master of Arts (45 credits) and Master of Sacred Theology (24 credits) degrees and Certificates (18 credits) in Spiritual Direction. Each program includes the academic study of Christian Spirituality, practicum courses that offer experiential learning, and supervision of ministry courses. Master of Arts students also take foundational courses in other theological fields, such as Scripture and Pastoral Theology, and either write a thesis or prepare a final project in Spiritual Direction. Master of Sacred Theology students have the option of writing a thesis or pursuing a non-thesis track that focuses more on coursework.
Spiritual Guidance of Children PROGRAM
Children have a natural, deep spirituality. They know God even before stories and symbols. Yet they need adults who can help them explore their relationship with the holy and learn a language for their faith. General Seminary's Spiritual Guidance of Children program (18 credits) provides both academic learning and practical training for the spiritual guidance of children. The program includes academic courses in the major theological disciplines, with a focus on children's spirituality; scholarly courses addressing the theory and history of children's spirituality; and practicum courses teaching approaches for nurturing children's spirituality through story, wonder, silence, prayer, and play.
Master of Divinity Students & CCS Certificates
Recognizing that clergy are sometimes called by God to ministries of spiritual direction and spiritual guidance for children, General Seminary offers M.Div. students the opportunity to earn a Certificate concurrent with their degree program. Nine credits may count toward both the M.Div. degree and a Certificate. The remaining nine credits must be earned over and above the credits required for the M.Div. degree. To earn a Certificate, M.Div. students must complete all coursework required for the Certificate. Regardless of whether or not they are pursuing a Certificate, all M.Div. students may take CCS courses in areas of their interest to enrich their formation for ordained ministry.
Special Events FOR ALL
With the hope of nurturing the spiritual lives of a diverse audience, the CCS offers a variety of special events and programs throughout the academic year that are open to the entire seminary community and the general public. The offerings include weekend workshops, guest luncheon speakers, spiritual direction and prayer groups, drum circles, and quiet days. A major annual event is the Kay Butler Gill Lecture in Christian Spirituality. Past lecturers have included Roberta Bondi, Tilden Edwards, Margaret Guenther, Alan Jones, Sandra Schneiders, Martin Smith, Janet Ruffing, Robin Jensen, John Philip Newell, and Fr. James Martin, SJ.
Financially Supporting the CCS
The CCS is grateful to all who care about spiritual leadership and who express their care through financial gifts to the CCS. Whenever you make a donation to General Seminary, you may specify that you wish your gift to support CCS programs. No gift is too small. Thank you for your generosity.

WEST PEORIA, Ill -- One central Illinois city continues to demonstrate its 4th of July spirit, year after year. Floats, marching bands, and fire engines; sounds like a typical Midwestern parade, but there is one big reason why the West Peoria Fourth of July Parade stands out from the rest. It's the longest running Independence Day parade in central Illinois. It's patriotic theme is what keeps this event a float.
"Oh, I think it brings a lot of people in," said Martha Foster, a West Peoria resident. "This is all of my family through here. So this way I think we're doing two things, enjoying the parade and celebrating at the same time."
"The kids, they get lots of candy and have a lot of fun, you know, it's more for the kids," said Daryl Buttrum a Spring Bay resident.
While this event is a good time to celebrate with family and friends. It's also a good time to honor our servicemen and women.
"I'm hoping that they're happy because we're celebrating all the hard work that they have done for us and for our country," said Nichelle Ritterhoff a West Peoria Resident. "We appreciate it."
"I really feel for the guys who are overseas fighting for our freedom and I really appreciate all that they do," said Buttrum.
The parade ran for more than an hour, but spectators didn't seem to mind. They see the parade as a way for the community to get together.
"Everybody's really happy, everybody speaks and says hello to everybody, and getting to see the parade and hanging out with your friends, it's just a great day," says Ritterhoff.

Legal Ethics
2-Year Law License Suspension for Attorney Who Charged Client Usual Rate to Run Errands
Posted Dec 7, 2012 12:56 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
A divided Louisiana Supreme Court has OK'd a recommended two-year law license suspension for an attorney who charged a client nursing home resident her usual billable rate of $125 per hour to perform non-legal services such as running errands.
Katherine M. Guste charged an unreasonable fee and took advantage of her client, the majority found in a Tuesday opinion (PDF). However, a dissenting judge said there was insufficient evidence to show that her client, who was in his 60s and suffered from Huntington's disease, had diminished mental capacity, and said a less harsh penalty would have been sufficient.
Guste's conduct concerning another client in an unrelated matter was also at issue in the disciplinary case.

We know it's serious news.

James Bond's favorite car -- the Aston Martin -- has topped a list of the coolest brands in the UK thanks to its long-running association with the legendary super-spy.
"It's like a James Bond backpack!"

There's a growing understanding of the scientific importance of wildlife migration corridors, but protecting them is a huge political challenge.
Sandhill cranes and pronghorn antelope are among the many creatures that make long and arduous seasonal migrations across the West.
Migrating animals can't read "no trespassing" signs, so it's up to human beings to try to find ways to connect wildlife corridors that crisscross public and privately owned lands.

I believe Jeff provided this one... huge thanks to him for nailing yet another one of my long time wants. 2011 vintage, 12 oz. bottle edition. It pours deep brown, very nearly black, with some dark ruby edges that only pop out when light is shining through the beer. The khaki head sifts quietly on top of the brew for a while before misting into a chunky ring and collar at the edge.
It's got an aroma that would only be fit for a Hair of the Dog brew; figs, raisins, woody oak, prunes, soft leather, tobacco, bourbon, back end anise, and a never-ending battle between sharp booziness and balancing sweetness that keeps you guessing with each and every whiff. Just like many other Hair of the Dog beers, Adam From the Wood's complexity is something to ponder.
Warmth only brings out more nuances and opens this thing up like Pandora's box. More sticky molasses sweetness, more booze-soaked, dense oak, dark fruits, leathery tobacco; approaching perfection for the style, no doubt. In all honestly, I enjoyed the nose on Matt just a bit more, but that's like saying I like the Corvette ZR1 better than the Z06. They're still both fantastic.
A surfboard of oak crashing across a wavy ocean of smooth bourbon with black cherry, date, and sweet raisin buoys engulfs your palate with even the tiniest sip. Warming up to Adam From the Wood, it starts to reveal its sweeter side, with generous helpings of burnt brown sugar, mild vanilla, and more of that signature "leathery tobacco" that Hair of the Dog is notorious for.
Even the smallest sips contain so much action; the flavor density of this brew is phenomenal. A lingering finish of brown sugar, dark fruits, and boozy oak keeps your palate happily waiting for the next sip to come its way. Monstrous in terms of body; this thing is huge, sticky, heavy, and chewy, and will coat the inside of your mouth like honey. Low carbonation, understandably, lends a hand to the smooth mouth feel.
Glad to finally get a chance to try this beer and see what everyone has been raving about. No wonder people love it. As good as it is, though, I still prefer Matt just a bit, as it's slightly more complex, yet even more drinkable, or at least as drinkable as any 10% ABV old ale could dream to be. No matter, Adam from the Wood is fantastic, and I need to keep my hunting spears ready when the next batch is (hopefully) released.

A - Pours a burgundy tinged brown with no head, no retention, and no lace.
S - Amazing smell. The aroma is full of sweet molassis and vanilla. There is a hint of smoke and leather.
T - The taste is full of chocolate, vanilla and molasses, with a nice dose of wood.
M - Medium carbonation and full bodied. A very nice mouthfeel on this one.
O - Wow, Adam is already one of my all-time favorite beers and this takes it to another level. This is one of the best beers I've ever had and can't wait to see how it ages. I had this the same night as I had a Dark Lord and it boggles my mind how Dark Lord gets so much hype and a beer like this almost flies under the radar.

Thanks to a very kind BA for pulling this out at the Dark Lord release. Poured a thick, extremely dark brown, nearly black with a miniscule tan head. Amazing nose of deep vinous aromas, plums, grapes, dark fruits all over the place along with a massive oaky, woody cellar aroma. One I could sit and smell all day.
Big fruity malty molasses flavor that has a strong woody undercurrent. Each sip is an experience in itself. Bourbon sweetness with vinous notes. Damn good stuff.
Mouthfeel is nice and smooth with a syrupy, nearly liqour like consistency. Just a damn fine brew that I dunno if I'll ever be able to try again. Highly recommended and I seriously hope I get the chance to run across this again someday.

What a beer! on tap at stuffed sandwich. This beer was the absolute standout, despite the entire barrel aged collection that Sam had. I had parabola after this and it tasted like old diner coffee. That is how good adam from the wood is.
2008 vintage. Sweet, bourbony, delicious beer with (as my good friend stated) the after taste of tollhouse cookie dough.
I had two
Wish it was four...
Get to stuffed sandwich stat.

2011 bottle at the tasting room
Pours deep caramel brown with half a finger of tan head. Head dissipated pretty quickly, leaving only a thin ring.
Aroma has a lot of dark fruits, brown sugar, caramel and roasted malts and a very pleasant bourbon aroma.
Taste is full and rich, but not heavy or too sweet. Some sweet bourbon notes of vanilla and oak, brown sugar, mild leather. Lots of dark dried fruits. Very smooth taste. Bottle says it is barrel aged for at least three years, and the smoothness supports that.
Mouthfeel is smooth with some sticky sweetness. Finish is surprisingly dry and earthy.
This is a great beer, and I am happy to have had it. A big beer that doesn't get carried away with sweetness, and incredibly smooth, both in terms of flavor and feel.

At HoTD, just tapped 3 year aged keg.
A: poured dark with a good finger head, nice lacing on the side.
S: great molasses dark brown sugar coming off, you then smell a great toasted wood Smokey aroma.
T: wow! This just hits all the senses. Everything is there from chocolate to malt to marshmellow then molasses. All very balanced.
M: a great medium feel. Enough to linger and enjoy the flavors as you get ready for another taste.
O: Just f*** awesome. Best beer that I have ever had hands down. Nothing else can compare. I wish I could take a keg home!

Bottle (2011)
Thanks for opening this with me, BdubleEdubleRUN!
(Aged for 6 months)
Muddied, hazed brown in color with dark ruby edges and a very small brown head. There's not a lot of visible carbonation, though I don't necessarily need much in a beer of this style. Small dots and oily sheets slide down the glass.
The aroma is complex and incredibly nice: earthy and rich bourbon, oak, dark fruit, baker's chocolate, and a little bit of earthy/honey sweetness. Very, very nice.
The flavor, if possible, is even better than the aroma. The bourbon flavors are distinct and powerful, though they aren't overly hot or difficult to stomach. Rich notes of vanilla, wood, earth, and vanilla come together nicely, paired well with chocolate covered raisin and some fig/plum character. This is incredible stuff.
Medium bodied with low to moderate carbonation.
My favorite Hair of the Dog to date, and I'm a big, big fan of the brewery.

by ABC6 Chief Political Reporter Mark Curtis
(Providence, Rhode Island) – It was one of those weeks where no single story dominated the world of politics. It was a jumble of unconnected events. So here is this week "grab bag" of political nuggets:
"Where's the Beef?" – Yes, North Korea is beginning to remind me of the old lady in the classic Wendy's commercial, who did not find much burger in her nearly empty bun. North Korea keeps threatening to launch a nuclear missile at South Korean, Japan or the United States, but never does. While it provides great fodder for late-night comedians, I'm worried. Leader Kim Jong Un is – like his father before him - an unstable kook. I worry that while we're all looking for missiles on the horizon, he'll just deliver a suitcase full of nukes at a U.S. shopping mall or mass transit station. The North has no viable rocket program, so it could look for an easier, more unconventional delivery system.
"The Iron Lady" – As one of the first women to lead a major world power, former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher helped break the glass ceiling for many women around the globe, both in politics and other endeavors. To a lot of people she simply set the example that women can lead, too, and at the highest levels. Ideology aside, women who have held public office since Thatcher, including Hillary Clinton, Condoleezza Rice, Madeleine Albright, Diane Feinstein and Sarah Palin, owe her a debt of gratitude. CEOs including Carly Fiorina and Meg Whitman also owe some of their success to Thatcher, who died this week, simply because she taught a broad swatch of society that strong, smart women can lead effectively, too.
"Gloomy Skies for the Blue Angels" – I've been watching weekly for real tangible signs of the $85 billion dollar budget sequester from Washington, DC. All of the gloom and doom that was predicted has still failed to materialize. This week, perhaps for the first time since White House tours were curtailed, there was another visible victim. The Blue Angels fight demonstration team has canceled the rest of its shows for 2013. Sure it's disappointing for people who were planning to see a show, including me. But, in the great scheme of federal spending and identifying items that are "needs versus wants," this is just not a crisis. Many of the job furloughs and deep program cuts that were predicted with sequester, have still not happened and most of the public simply marches on, unfazed.
"Bonehead of the Week" – A Florida police sergeant has been fired after brining paper targets of the late Trayvon Martin to a gun training range, and trying to sell them to fellow police officers. What was he thinking? The killing of Trayvon Martin at the hands of neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman, still awaits trails. The racially charged case has already brought enough tension to central Florida, without such insensitive behavior. When one cop does something like this, it not only reflects poorly on him, but it unfairly brings harsh judgment on the rest of his profession. That's wrong.
"Best Looking Attorney General" – I had lots of comments last week regarding my analysis of President Obama publicly stating that California Attorney General Kamala Harris was, "by far the best-looking Attorney General in the country." One reader suggested that the President was being chided, merely because of his race. Can you imagine that there wouldn't have been a similar outcry had President George W. Bush made such a statement, and in particular President Bill Clinton? They would have been harshly criticized, too. Supporters of President Obama need to quit playing the race card, every time he is criticized or opposed. They did it on health care reform, the fiscal cliff, and now on the Kamala Harris controversy, just to mention a few. President Obama - to his credit - has repeatedly tried to dispel this racial mindset at every turn in his public life.
"Politicians – like Cats – Seemingly Have Nine Lives, Part III" – This is becoming a regular feature in my column, as we watch political figures who left in disgrace, simply rise from the dead like Lazarus. Former Governor Mark Sanford (R-SC) has won a primary for a Congressional seat from his state, years after being caught in a sex scandal with a woman from Argentina, (who was not his wife, but is now his fiancé). Now, disgraced former Congressman Anthony Weiner (D-NY) is thinking about running for Mayor of New York City, just years after he, too, resigned in disgrace over a Twitter sex scandal. These two men are redefining the concept of "failing upward." As I always say, you just can't make this stuff up.
Have a great week everyone! My surgery went well and I am back on my feet. Thanks for all the good wishes. As always, share your thoughts by clicking the comment button at www.MarkCurtisMedia.com.

© Copyright 2014 Clayton News Daily
By Johnny firstname.lastname@example.com Ellenwood resident, Kevin Anderson, is being recognized for his efforts to bring awareness, and research funding, to a disease not often talked about. Wells Fargo & Company recently announced its volunteer service award program plans to donate $1,000 to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in honor of Anderson, branch manager of Wells Fargo Home Mortgage in McDonough. Anderson is being honored for his work in raising funds and awareness for cystic fibrosis research. Wells Fargo employee, Gina Thater, nominated him for the honor earlier this year. "He does so much," Thater said. "He and his wife [Jeanette], both, are very involved. I thought he needed to be recognized just for all that he does, he and his wife. They've always tried to do what they can do, and give as much as they can to raise awareness." Anderson said he became heavily involved in fund-raising efforts several years ago, when he met his wife. Her 17-year-old brother is surviving the chronic disease. Anderson and his wife organized an annual walk-a-thon for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. The South Metro Atlanta Great Stride Event is held each May by the foundation's Georgia chapter at Clayton County International Park, also known as "The Beach," in Jonesboro. Anderson's wife helped to create the all-volunteer event 11 years ago and is its current co-chairperson. Anderson credits his wife with helping grow the event over the years, from 50 to 250 participants. The event, he said, has been able to raise some $40,000 each year for cystic fibrosis research. "My wife and I are especially proud that 90 percent of all donations to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation go to research," Anderson said. "There are a lot of great organizations out there. But the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is a worthy cause, too." He said funds donated by Wells Fargo & Company will be used to help support patients and their families, as well as to help fund research. "Research and therapies that have been supported by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation will help increase the life-span and quality of life for our children with cystic fibrosis," said Barbara Bricker, senior director of special events with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Bricker noted that the foundation has more than 80 chapters nationwide and supports a network of 115 care centers throughout the country, including Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. "Cystic Fibrosis is a disease that affects both the lungs and the digestive system," she continued. "Right now, it is the most common genetic disease in the United States." Bricker said she has dealt with Anderson and his wife over the years and has witnessed, first-hand, their devotion to the cause of supporting research. "Nothing stops them," she added.

Worcester Bridge back open - but for how long? (From Evesham Journal)

Worcester Bridge back open - but for how long?
6:30am Tuesday 11th February 2014 in News By Tom Edwards, Political Reporter
MORE flooding could cause Worcester Bridge to close a second time today - with drivers warned to expect continued disruption.
After chaotic rush hour delays yesterday, Worcestershire County Council re-opened one carriageway of the bridge at 1pm to allow traffic to flow through to Deansway instead of the shut North Parade.
A team of council workers spent last night directing traffic through one way at a time, with staff working on a rota basis around-the-clock to get the city moving.
The Worcester Bridge is used by 35,000 cars on a typical day.
But the respite could prove to be temporary, with warnings that a forecast of continued rain today is set to add serious pressure to the swollen rivers.
Although the River Severn peaked at 5.4 metres yesterday the Kempsey Gauge was expected to hit a high of 7.1 metres last night and the Environment Agency say the extra rain today could see the situation change rapidly.
Jon Fraser, from Worcestershire Highways, said: "We've decided to direct traffic over one lane of the bridge and there's a rota in place so staff can work through the night.
"Things are changing all the time and there is the possibility that river levels will rise past the peaks we've seen. We are reviewing things constantly."
Due to a massive build up of debris underneath the bridge, the council had to examine the structure yesterday to ensure it had not been damaged, and said they found no problems.
Councillor Adrian Hardman, county council leader, said: "We did a structural survey because it was being put under great pressure laterally - it's designed to carry weight on the top, not the sides.
"Safety is our paramount issue. We have got one carriageway open but there is the possibility it may have to close again, we will have to wait and see."
New Road will also remain open today unless flooding causes it to become impassable.
The county council has also defended the decision to close Worcester Bridge, saying it was a "last resort".
The sudden closure on Sunday led to disgruntled motorists questioning the need to shut the route for nearly 25 hours.
The steady build-up of debris under the bridge meant an unusual amount of extra strain was being put on the structure, resulting in structural engineers having to assess how safe it was.
The rising river levels also flooded Hylton Road and North Parade, while there were concerns New Road would become impassable by yesterday morning, which prompted the decision.
The council said that once the structure had been considered safe, and with New Road passable yesterday, all the relevant bodies agreed the 1pm re-opening of the one carriageway without floodwater.
Councillor Simon Geraghty, deputy leader, said: "The decision to close the bridge was done from the best possible advice we had at the time, it was not taken lightly.
"We appreciate many thousands of people have had their daily lives disrupted and knew the network would be under severe strain.
"Keeping it open will rely on floodwater staying off New Road."
The council also said they "fully expected" the floods to carry all the way across New Road on Sunday evening, but in the end it fell just short.
Mr Fraser: "With the amount of time it takes to create the diversions we had to make a decision, and at 9pm on Sunday we fully expected it to go across New Road and into Cripplegate Park."
Last night roads still closed included Bewdley Bridge, the B4088 Eckington Bridge, Hylton Road, Croft Road, Tybridge Street and North Parade in Worcester, the B4195 Stourport Road in Bewdley, Upton Bridge, the A443 Lindridge and the temporary footbridge in Abbey Road, Evesham.
The C2099 New Street and B4211 Hanley Road, both in Upton, Shell Ford from Bradley Green to Himbleton, and Walcot Ford from Pershore to Drakes Broughton were also shut.
Severn Trent's water pipe replacement work at St Peter's island, at the top of the A38 Bath Road in Worcester will remain suspended today to help traffic flow, as well as the gas works in Droitwich Road.
After the re-opening of Crowngate bus station yesterday afternoon, people using buses from St John's have been warned to expect delays.
Buses going over the bridge via New Road will head the wrong way up Bridge Street, through Deansway, onto College Street and then to St Nicholas Street and the station via City Walls Road.

Residents want to know what your contingency plans are, what measures you have in place if the bridge/roads deteriorate, long-term solutions, contact details for people to get hold of highways staff etc. Simply telling us that the river levels are going up and down and that you're monitoring the situation is stating the obvious. The highways department's communication during these floods has been woeful.

Montgomery's newest county commissioner took the oath of office at an official swearing-in ceremony Monday.
Ronda Walker will fill the remainder of Dimitri Polizos' term on the commission after he was elected in a special-election to fill a seat in the Alabama legislature.
"I'm really looking forward to just fitting into the commission and continuing the good work that they're already doing," Walker said. "Fiscal conservatism, economic development and education are the three issues that I find the most important," she added.
Walker previously worked with Congresswoman Martha Roby (R-Dist. 2) on local and state projects.
