But I'm also waiting for "Harry Potter 6" (because I'm a huge fan) and "Iron Man" (because of Robert Doney Jr.) Also can't wait to see the screen version of "Mamma Mia" + "Australia" by Baz Lhurmann with Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman and of course "James Bond 22".

I am really geeked-out excited about Dark Knight. I don't usually like comic book type things but I have always liked Batman stuff and the preview that finally came out last month for Dark Knight looked great. I was skeptical about Heath as Joker but he was so freaky and scary in the ad. I think it will be awesome. I'm excited about SATC too of course.

Nine years is a long time for a general manager, and Jim Hendry made a number of significant moves between getting promoted to GM during the 2002 season. Here's a quick take on most of the big moves he made, with an attempt (however fruitless) to remain objective on this most subjective of days ...
December 4, 2002: Traded Todd Hundley to Dodgers for Mark Grudzielanek and Eric Karros
Hundley was making a ridiculous amount of money with the Cubs. Grudzielanek and Karros were both supposedly overpaid as well, which made this a sort of challenge trade. Hendry won big, as Hundley was finished while both Grudzielanek and Karros played well for the Cubs in 2003.
Grade: A
July 23, 2003: Traded Matt Bruback, Jose Hernandez and (later) Bobby Hill to Pirates for Aramis Ramirez and Kenny Lofton
Ramirez had never really played to his potential in Pittsburgh -- that was the perception, anyway -- but of course he came into his own with the Cubs, while none of the players who went to the Pirates did much of anything afterward.
Grade: A
November 25, 2003: Traded Mike Nannini and Hee-Seop Choi to Marlins for Derrek Lee
Choi was a sabermetrician's darling but never developed at all, while Lee gave the Cubs three excellent seasons and three good ones.
Grade: A
July 31, 2004: Traded Francis Beltran, Alex Gonzalez and Brendan Harris to the Expos and Justin Jones to the Twins and received Nomar Garciaparra and Matt Murton.
Sort of a nothing deal, as Garciaparra couldn't stay healthy and productive at that point in his career, and none of the other players covered themselves in glory afterward.
Grade: C
February 2, 2005: Traded Sammy Sosa to the Orioles for Dave Crouthers, Mike Fontenot and Jerry Hairston
Turning Sosa -- who'd gone from hero to goat in about three seconds -- into Fontenot and Hairston, both of them moderately useful players, has to seem like something of a coup.
Grade: B
February 9, 2005: Traded Kyle Farnsworth to the Tigers for Bo Flowers (minors), Scott Moore and Roberto Novoa.
Farnsworth was hitting free agency a year later and coming off an unimpressive 2004, but none of the players Hendry got in this deal ever did anything for the Cubs (or anyone else).
December 27, 2005: Traded Sergio Mitre, Ricky Nolasco and Renyel Pinto to the Marlins for Juan Pierre.
Mitre's still kicking around, but hasn't been missed in Chicago. Ricky Nolasco has been cheap and effective for most of the last six seasons. Pierre did play well for the Cubs in 2006, then left as a free agent.
Grade: D
November 12, 2006: Signed Free Agent Aramis Ramirez for 5 years, $75 million
Ramirez missed half of 2009 with an injury and was ineffective in 2010. But he's played well enough in the other seasons to justify most of that $75 million. The biggest problem with the contract was Ramirez's ability to veto a trade, if the opportunity came up.
Grade: B
November 20, 2006: Signed Free Agent Alfonso Soriano for 8 years, $126 million
What were the chances that this one would turn out well? Soriano was coming off a fantastic season with the Nationals, but it was the best season of his career and he was almost 31. A four-year contract might have made sense. Or five, or perhaps even six. But eight years?
Grade: D (with great potential for F)
December 6, 2006: Signed Free Agent Ted Lilly for 4 years, $40 million
Lilly was well worth the $40 million, and it's just a shame that Hendry didn't get more talent when he traded Lilly to the Dodgers last summer.
Grade: B+
December 7, 2006: Traded Josh Hamilton to the Cincinnati Reds for cash.
Yes, Josh Hamilton was a Chicago Cub for a New York minute. Hendry selected Hamilton in the Rule 5 Draft on Pearl Harbor Day, and immediately sold him to the Reds. Whoops.
Grade: F
August 17, 2007: Signed pitcher Carlos Zambrano for 5 years, $91.5 million (extension)
Considering that Zambrano's got a 3.96 ERA since the contract kicked in and he's twice been suspended for ill behavior, I think you'll have to agree that this one hasn't worked out real well. And of course there's still another whole season on this contract, which the Cubs will probably try to get out of paying but probably won't be able to. For the Cubs' next GM, Zambrano's contract -- like Soriano's -- will be the gift that just keeps on giving.
Grade: C-
December 12, 2007: Signed Japanese outfielder Kosuke Fukudome for 4 years, $48 million
Plenty of teams wanted Kosuke, but the Cubs got him. Semi-disastrously, as it turned out. Fukudome, who'd shown great all-around hitting skills in Japan, never displayed those talents consistently in the major leagues, and wound up as a part-time player before going to the Indians last month. Hindsight's 20/20, but ...
Grade: C-
November 18, 2008: Signed free agent pitcher Ryan Dempster for 4 years, $52 million
Hey, there are 162 games every season and someone has to start them. At the rate Dempster's going, he'll be worth almost exactly $52 million by the time his contract expires after next season. By no means a bargain but worth every penny, at least to a contending team.
Grade: B
January 9, 2009: Signed free agent Milton Bradley for 3 years, $30 million
Bradley was coming off a season with the Rangers in which he'd actually led the American League in OPS+. Of course, he'd also been injured (as usual) and had served primarily as the Rangers' Designated Hitter ... a role which would rarely be available with the Cubs. Somewhat predictably, the contract was a disaster as Bradley's hitting fell off a cliff and he couldn't stay healthy. After just one season, Hendry traded Bradley to the Mariners for their disastrous contract (Carlos Silva), which did work out slightly in the Cubs' favor.
Grade: F
December 31, 2009: Signed free agent outfielder Marlon Byrd for 3 years, $15 million
This wasn't actually a big deal, money-wise. And even at that, when it happened I thought Hendry had slightly overpaid for a veteran coming off his best season. It's worked out wonderfully, though.
Grade: A
December 12, 2010: Signed free agent first baseman Carlos Peña for 1 year, $10 million
Considering Peña's .196 batting average in 2010, this was something of a gamble. But it's paid off reasonably well, unless you think $10 million for an average first baseman on a non-contending team is extravagant.
Grade: B-
Conclusions? Like a lot of GMs, Hendry seemed to fare better when making small deals than large ones. His trades generally worked out pretty well, and so did some of his smaller free-agent signings. But when given huge amounts of money to play with, he overreached, particularly with the Alfonso Soriano and Carlos Zambrano contracts. Of course, we don't know if ownership (for example) demanded that he spend whatever it took to sign Soriano.
We do know that the Cubs have spent a great deal of money under Hendry, and made the playoffs three times but are now mired in fifth place for a second straight season. And it probably didn't have to turn out this way.
Did I miss any big deals worth grading? If so, please add to the discussion in the comments. There's room for everyone!

Joyce Tsang of Stillmotion Discusses Choosing the Best Camera to Tell Your Story
When many of us first picked up a camera, it was whatever we had lying around. Maybe it was dad's old Super 8 at home or the Handycam in your high school yearbook class. It was available, affordable, and convenient, so the choice was already made whether you knew it or not. Today, however, there are a lot of cameras out there so naturally beginning filmmakers will ask themselves, "How do I choose a camera?"
This is a guest post by Joyce Tsang of Stillmotion. More »
Canon 1D C Finally Gets 25P at 4K, But You Won't Be Able to Download the Upgrade
We knew the firmware update was probably going to come after NAB, but I'm not sure how many people expected it to come almost two months after the show. Though much of the Canon news lately has been on the Magic Lantern RAW video hacks for the lower-end DSLRs, the company has finally decided to offer an upgrade to 4K 25p on the 1D C. If you were expecting to upgrade right away, however, you might be slightly disappointed. More »
Canon 1D C 4K 25P Firmware May Be Released After NAB, 120FPS at 720P Also Coming?
If you've been itching to shoot a project on the Canon 1D C in 4K but you need 25fps, it looks like you'll have to wait just a bit longer. Canon officially announced that the firmware would be released in April, but it wasn't clear when exactly it would be coming. Now there is word that we'll get it after NAB, and an image has been released that shows it being tested on the camera with an additional frame rate we've never seen before. We have also been looking forward to the clean HDMI update on the Canon 5D Mark III, which at the moment is still scheduled for sometime this month. Click through for more on both cameras. More »
4K Comparison: Canon 1D C vs. Sony F55, and New Firmware V1.10 for the F5/F55 is Out
Hot on the heels of the unscheduled recent firmare update, V1.03, Sony has issued V1.10 for the F5 and F55, which addresses a number of issues. Since the AXS-R5 recorder has its own internal processing and is considered part of the camera, it also needs the same firmware update to be applied separately. We've also got a recent 4K test done by the guys over at cinema5D that intercuts Canon's 1D C with the Sony F55. Click through for more on both. More »
How to Shoot a Low-Budget 4K Music Video on the Canon 1D C with Philip Bloom
You might know him from his excellent camera reviews, but Philip Bloom also has a large body of work online that consists of music videos, documentaries, and narratives. For his most recent project, Philip has joined forces with one of his frequent collaborators, Olly Knights, to shoot a music video for the main single off Olly's new album Bitten By the Frost. The piece was shot in two days on the Canon 1D C DSLR, and a few great behind the scenes videos have been posted online in addition to the music video. Check out all of them below. More »
Canon C300 Price Drops to $14K, Plus Some New 7D Mark II DSLR Rumors
A little over a week ago, there was a rumor that Canon would be introducing a brand new digital cinema camera between the C300 and the C100 at NAB 2013. At that time, the C300 was retailing for $16,000 and the C100 could be had for $6,500. In terms of the price difference, it was feasible for there to be a camera in-between (even if spec wise it doesn't make much sense). Now, Canon has dropped the C300 price by $2,000 until April 30th for both EF and PL models, and it very well could be a permanent price drop. We've also got a rumor of a replacement 24 Megapixel camera for the aging Canon 7D. So what does that mean for the rest of their product lines? More »
Is Canon Introducing a New Cinema Camera Priced Between the C100 and C300 at NAB?
While the internet seems to be looking for a specific camera from Canon that they haven't quite delivered yet, their digital cinema cameras — specifically the C300 — fly off the shelves and are consistently the most rented (if you don't believe me, ask anyone who runs a rental house). That, of course, won't stop the company from releasing new models, and it seems we may see a brand new camera along with some new cinema lenses at the yearly NAB show in April. Click through for more details and analysis. More »
Canon 1D C Firmware Update with 25P at 4K Officially Coming in April
The 1D C from Canon is the first DSLR capable of 4K, but the best it can do at the moment is 24fps at that frame size — not as useful for much of the world which shoots at 25fps. Philip Bloom recently took an in-depth look at the camera, and while the Super 35 mode looks like it resolves a lot of detail, the 4K mode has a bit more potential for manipulation in post. Canon Rumors had previously reported that we may be getting the update this week, but according to Canon's Germany site, it's going to be coming quite a bit later than that. More »
Philip Bloom Braves the Weather for His In-Depth Canon 1D C Review, Plus More Sample Footage
The first DSLR that can shoot 4K internally should be cause for celebration, as it's the first time a camera of this size has been able to reach that standard. The 1D C has received a mixed reaction, however, mostly because of its price, which is quite a bit above anything most people would call "affordable" for a DSLR, but also because of the fact that we have some evidence it's practically the same camera as the $5,000 cheaper Canon 1D X. Either way, Philip Bloom's video review has been quite eye-opening, and this camera makes a bit more sense in the market after seeing what it can do. Click through to check out that video as well as some more clips. More »
Canon 1D C Firmware Update Possibly Coming Next Week with 4K 25FPS
Canon has been notoriously slow on firmware updates, let alone anything that improves their current products in a major way. Thanks to Magic Lantern, their DSLRs have seen major improvements, but it's possible we may see the tide beginning to turn on support for their products. While it's not due for another few months, the firmware update for the 5D Mark III to enable clean HDMI is one of the first signs that they feel a bit of the pressure from the rest of the market, and they want to match specs with cameras like the Nikon D800. Now it looks like an update may be coming for the $12,000 1D C DSLR to enable 25fps at 4K, and there is word they may be working on addressing some other issues with the camera. More »
Grab Some 4K Canon 1D C DSLR Sample Footage, and Check Out a Possible FCPX Workflow
Canon's 4K video capable DSLR, the EOS-1D C, has marked an upset for the DSLR industry — and in more ways than one. Many feel that the addition of Motion-JPEG alone is not worth the camera's $12K price point. This is particularly the case when weighing in controversial speculation that internally it's mostly identical to its $7K 1080p sibling, the 1D X — and the fact that Canon is likely anticipating with gritted teeth the possibility of firmware hacks 4K-ifying the 1D X. That said, it could be a near-perfect blend of features depending on your application. If this is the case for you, but you want the chance to check out or grade some full-res video footage before pulling the trigger, you're in luck — planet5D has just posted some downloadable 1D C 4K footage for your viewing consideration (assuming of course your machine can handle it). More »
Canon May 'Bring the Might of Its Legal Team' if You Modify 1D X or 1D C Firmware
That sounds promising for a potential firmware hack, right? We discussed not too long ago that the Canon 1D X and the Canon 1D C were not exactly the same camera, but that the 1D C had some internal hardware changes — at the very least a new heatsink, and probably some additions to the firmware to allow 4K recording. At the moment it's still not clear how much the two cameras share in common, but with a quote like above, there is no doubt that the 1D X is probably capable of a lot more internally than the company is allowing at the moment. Whether or not your camera will explode when enabling those features is another consideration entirely, but we're starting to get more details about these internals. More »
Is Canon Producing a Truly Budget Cinema EOS Camera in a 7D Sized Body?
If you want to get a truly high quality cinematic image that can hold up on the big screen from Canon (without a ton of post work), there currently aren't any options under $6,500. While I think the Canon C100 is actually a better deal than one might think at first glance, it's still well above the price range for many people, especially those who are moving up from cameras like the T2i or T3i — jumping up to almost $7,000 just might not be realistic. There is still a missing camera in Canon's Cinema EOS line, between $2,000 and $6,500, and there is word it may be coming in a DSLR-type camera. More »
Is Canon's 4K DSLR, the 1D C, the Perfect Hybrid Photo/Video Camera?
A lot of the talk around the 1D C has been the somewhat high price for a camera that has only a slight advantage in specs compared to the 1D X, which is far cheaper. Price aside, it's important to talk about this camera in a way that might make more sense than as a 4K motion picture camera. The 1D C may very well be the the most affordable and the easiest to use hybrid stills/video camera in existence. We're not talking about a camera that shoots great stills and HD video, like most hybrids, but a camera that shoots great stills and 4K video which photographers can use to pull still images from. Click through to check out a video showing off exactly that aspect of the camera. More »
Canon's 1D C: Under the Hood, is It Really the 1D X's Twin?
There's been some speculation recently that the yet-to-be released Canon EOS-1D C is internally identical to the $6800 Canon 1D X, and that the 1D C's 4K resolution ability is simply a matter of superior firmware. Note the $7000 more you'd pay for the 1D C, and it becomes easy to see why this notion could be upsetting to some Canon shooters. Of course, given the limited experience the camera community has with the 1D C, speculation is about the best we can do at the moment. A recent post at Canon Rumors, however, may offer some insight to prospective 1D C buyers who might be disheartened by the "twin" rumors. Read on for more details. More »
New Canon 1D X DSLR Can (Kind Of) Shoot 5K Video for Under $7,000
The RED EPIC was the first camera capable of shooting 5K video (which is more than 4 times bigger than 1080p), and not just at 24fps, but a whopping 120fps (in a 2.39:1 aspect ratio). Now it looks like RED is getting some…competition? Michael Hession over at Gizmodo has been experimenting with the new Canon 1D X, which is capable of still image bursts of 12fps RAW or 14fps JPEG. While there are limitations, the results played back as a video actually approach real motion. Check out the interesting results from Michael's video below. More »
Philip Bloom Reviews the Canon 1D X, Big Brother of the Mark III. Is It Worth the Money Just for Video?
The Canon 1D X was announced all the way back in October of 2011, and only now is it starting to get in the hands of shooters. We reported on the increase in resolution between the 1D X and the 5D Mark III, but that increase comes at a price. Canon has decided to try to separate its Cinema EOS line with its DSLRs, but interestingly enough the new Canon 1D C DSLR (which is capable of 4K) is basically the same camera as the 1D X (sans 4K), yet it costs twice as much. Either way, it's looking like the 1D X is the DSLR that most people wanted the 5D Mark III to be (at least in terms of resolution). More »
Canon Improves Video Resolution with the 1D X, but is It Better Than the Mark III?
We've been having a discussion about downscaling in another thread about a Canon DSLR (the T4i to be exact), and today we've finally got a sample video from the Canon 1D X that seems to show the camera out-resolving the 5D Mark III. Though the 1D X was announced back in October 2011, it may very well be October 2012 before these finally get out in the open in real numbers. It was common knowledge that the launch was going to be a "paper" announcement only, but the 1D X has missed its delivery date numerous times. Either way, the camera is going to be released sooner rather than later, and while its price point is well out of the reach of many readers ($6,800), it looks like all that extra horsepower under the hood gives it a bit more resolution in video mode than the other new full frame Canon camera, the 5D Mark III.

NAB 2012: Day 2 Recap - Las Vegas Supermeet: Adobe CS6, Smoke, Blackmagic, Shane Hurlbut, Morgan Spurlock
No video updates at the moment, as my entire night was spent at the Eleventh Annual Las Vegas Supermeet, a meeting of the Creative Pro User Group Network, which is a gathering of editors and like-minded post people. Unfortunately the event was plagued by projection and sound problems (the in-house staff are the only people who can touch that stuff). It's ironic that this happened to a room full of nerds who understand the issues and could have fixed it pretty easily! Regardless we got to see a bit of Adobe CS6, the new Smoke, the Blackmagic Cinema Camera, Shane Hurlbut talked about the Canon 1DC, and we got a wonderfully hilarious talk from Morgan Spurlock, who went into detail about his career.

Shane Hurlbut Shares and Discusses 'The Ticket' - First Short Shot on Canon's 4K DSLR
Canon had its big NAB screening on Sunday night, showing off both its 4K DSLR, the EOS 1D-C, and the C500. As part of the presentation they screened "The Ticket", a short film written/directed by Po Chan, lensed by Shane Hurlbut, and shot on the EOS 1D-C. Filmed and displayed in 4K, Hurlbut showed just what the camera can do, and now we too can see what it looks like by way of his blog (albeit through the limitations of Vimeo). Hurlbut goes on to share some interesting behind the scenes tidbits, and praise that might just entice you into giving this camera a whirl: More »

COLUMBUS, Ga. (AP) - A man who fled overseas after a 2007 double-slaying in Columbus has pleaded guilty to two counts of murder.
The Columbus Ledger-Enquirer reports 30-year-old Michael Jason Registe will serve two life sentences simultaneously after agreeing to the plea deal Friday. His trial in the killings of 21-year-old Randy Newton Jr. and 20-year-old Bryan Kilgore had been scheduled to begin Monday. Both men were found shot in the head outside an apartment complex in July 2007.
Registe fled overseas and become 1 of the FBI's most-wanted fugitives. Authorities on the Caribbean island of St. Maarten captured Registe in August 2008. He was returned to the United States nearly a year later on condition that prosecutors would not seek the death penalty.
Registe will be eligible for parole in 2038.

Smith has actively traveled the world on behalf of his engagement duties and has been prominent in globalizing the college's outreach and curriculum.
"It is an honor to be asked to lead such a renowned group of scientists," said Smith, who has served as interim head of the department since January. "The faculty members are all leaders in their disciplines, so to be part of this team is a real privilege."
"We intend to make sure our academic programs attract highly qualified students and educate them for careers that will help reduce our dependence on petroleum-based products in order to sustain our natural resources for the future," he stressed.
Smith will focus on continuing the department's leadership profile nationally and internationally in teaching and research in the sustainable use of natural resources, and preparing students for technological advancements in the forest products and biomaterials industries.
"Our goal remains to provide the best education to students and citizens of Virginia in the wise management and utilization of natural resources," he said.
He will continue to lead all of the college's Virginia Cooperative Extension programs, many of which are critical for the $25 billion forest products industry in Virginia.
Smith holds a doctorate in forest products marketing from Virginia Tech, a master of business administration from the University of Wisconsin at Oshkosh, and a bachelor's degree in wood science from Michigan Tech. He has taught undergraduate and graduate courses in the areas of wood science, business management, and forest products marketing.
Prior to completing his doctorate, Smith worked for a major U.S. manufacturer of wood products for 14 years as a production manager and sales representative in the Midwest. He was raised in northern Michigan, where his father managed a hardwood sawmill.
Smith's research efforts focused on industrial marketing and new opportunities for wood in international markets. He has published more than 100 scientific articles and participated in $4 million of research funding.

Geography of Bliss
Geography of Bliss by Eric Weiner
Weiner travels the world in search of the happiest places. As Weiner makes his way from Iceland (one of the world's happiest countries) to Bhutan (where the king has made Gross National Happiness a national priority) to Moldova (not a happy place), he calls upon the collective wisdom of "the self-help industrial complex" to help him navigate the path to contentment.
He travels to Switzerland, where he discovers the hidden virtues of boredom; to the tiny-and extremely wealthy-Persian Gulf nation of Qatar, where the relationship between money and happiness is laid bare; to India, where Westerners seek their bliss at the feet of gurus; to Thailand, where not thinking is a way of life; to a small town outside London where happiness experts attempt to "change the psychological climate." He also travels within the U.S.-and discovers that paradise is always a step away.
Throughout his global quest, Weiner integrates the insights of classical thinkers on happiness, augmented by one-liners worthy of a stand-up comedian. Full of inspired moments and earned epiphanies, The Geography of Bliss sets out to accomplish a feat few books dare and even fewer achieve: to make you happier.

After 13 years, a ton of losses and a million injuries, the Islanders have placed goalie Rick DiPietro on waivers. It's a tough time for the former All Star and first overall pick. But a famous...
With reports that Rob Schremp has signed in Sweden, we look back on the ex-Oiler, -Islander and -Thrasher's curious journey through the NHL.
Jon Sim has been placed on unconditional waivers. #Isles— NYIslanders (@NYIslanders) January 14, 2011
Via the Isles official Twitter, Katie Strang and the Sound Tigers. Strang reports even if he clears, Sim will no longer be a member of the organization. UPDATE - Reese waived as well.
Poor Miro. That Bill Guerin's acquisition forced this is ... rich. As Hooks Orpik put it at Pensburgh: "So Miroslav Satan, he of 1012 NHL games and 721 points will be an American Hockey Leaguer riding the buses again. A league he hasn't seen since 1994-95 when he was a 21 year old breaking into North American hockey. It's been so long that the team Satan played for back then (the Cape Breton Oilers) has been defunct for now 13 years. Satan is a trooper for not pulling a Zigmund Palffy and jumping back to Europe when the going gets tough. But then again, he still gets his $3.5 million this year for the 65 NHL games and a few minor league games."
Does the lack of interest in Pittsburgh's Miroslav Satan tarnish the image of Ray Shero and give Islanders GM a pass for not moving Satan last season?
[Update 1 pm: Logan pretty much confirms the unhappy vet theory or implies such. Meanwhile, Islesblogger has some recent Sim quotes about his play.]
Chris Botta says Jon Sim's three-assist night on Versus upped his value to ... waiver exposure?
What do you think the chances are Pretty darn good, I'd say, that Sim is one of the frustrated veterans regarding Gordon's use of vets and youth ?.
Sim, at $1M per through next season, already cleared waivers once this season. Sounds like the Islanders really don't want that salary on the books nor "voice" in the room.
For D Erik Reitz. I only mention it here because there was a surprising amount of clamoring among Isles fans for the club to claim Dan Fritsche when he was on waivers. Personally, I didn't see it -- not with his stats (222 GP, 30G, 37A) and Gordon's in-progress effort to train our existing prospects on his system. Who knows, though? Maybe someday I'll eat those words. Maybe he at least becomes a Lemaire cog.
The crazy Wade Dubielewicz saga -- from Long Island to Russia back to LI and now to meet Blue Jackets teammates in Vancouver.
Chris Botta reports that Columbus has claimed Wade Dubielewicz off the waiver wire, preventing the Islanders from using him (and to think, Sanford already cleared). I don't think you can blame Garth for this, though: I'd never imagine (playoff aspiring) clubs would pass on Sanford and claim Dubie. Couldn't they leave us and our poor season in peace? Sheesh. The Columbus Dispatch hockey blog has more. Dubie now flies to Vancouver.

So, I need to beat Sheol with Isaac in The Binding of Isaac, can I select the "Doctors Revenge" challenge (which requires you to beat Mom's Heart) and maybe get lucky with a demon room on the Mom's Heart boss to go to Sheol with the Fetus?
The win condition for "Isaac Was Good Today" is defeating Satan, so for that challenge alone, you can go to Sheol.
EDIT: I was just playing Lord Of The Flies and I defeated Mom's Heart without taking damage, allowing the Devil Room to appear and the game let me go to Sheol. Interesting.
Under most circumstances, no. However, there may be a way to get around that. If you get curse of the labyrinth for your final floors, after you beat the first of the two bosses, it will glitch and give you the achievement and the unlockable. Theoretically at that point you could use the shovel to go to the next floor and continue playing. I can not actually verify that, but it is very likely, although in practice incredibly difficult to do. You are better off trying to beat challenge 1 and then using the candle to easily beat mom (it goes through closed doors) and the devil in sheol (it can hurt the devil while you are fighting the fallen). Hope this helps a bit.

Hilo's Wailoa Arts and Cultural Center will open the new year with "Big Island Plein Air," when 40 artists from around Hawaii Island will fill both floors of the center with their impressionist paintings. An opening reception will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. Friday. The exhibit will be on display through Jan. 30.
Plein air painting became popular in the early 19th century in both Europe and America when paint manufacturers made a wide range of pre-mixed oil pigments available for the first time. At the same time the easily transportable box easel, or pochade (quick sketch) box, was developed. Artists could take their work into the field with ease. Plein air artists paint on location in natural light, working quickly to capture the essence (impression) of a scene, Depending on the light and weather, the paintings are usually done in one session.
Featured artists in this exhibit are Christine Ahia, Bob Appleman, Cosette Bonjour, Rod Cameron, Thinam Carrol, Lynn Chapman, Anne Diaz, Michael Donenfeld, Felicia Fry, Tuko Fujisaki, Jeannie Garcia, Carol Greenwell, Ann Guth, Eide Hansamut, Hideyo Harada, Dick Harrison, Randy Hasson, Peter Heineman, Sherry Hendersen, David Hubbard, Peter Jefferson, Arthur Johnsen, Diane Kent, Jan Marrack, Gil Mendez, Marilyn Montgomery, Melody Moore, Lynn Nakkim, Christal Nylin, Ilmar Reinvald, Richard Rochkovsky, Ginger Sandell, Jerome Sasaki, Mary Sky Schoolcraft, Sunny Seal, Leslie Sears, Chuck Snyder, Annabel Spielman, Barton St. Armand, David Terry, Robert Weiss, Barbara Williams and William Wingert.
In addition to its regular hours, the Wailoa Arts and Cultural Center will also be open each of the four Saturdays in January for painting demonstrations and instruction, giveaways, and guided art walks through the exhibition.

Leather Mask That Converts Your Horse into a Red Horned Dragon

As you can see in the categories that are recorded and best directly correlate with a good offense the Noles were excellent. It is no secret that the offense was driven by the top four hitters who have now gone so Florida State now has to turn to players who have very little to no experience or have not produced at a high level.
The players lost accounted for roughly half of the at bats and a substantial part of the offense, virtually all of the team's power came out of those spots. Also a big area concern is the plate discipline, those hitters walked four percent more than they struck out and still produced a combined .500+ slugging percentage. The returners struck out seven percent more than they walked and had an on-base percentage higher than their slugging, not a recipe for having a prolific offense.
Catcher: Stephen McGee has this position locked up and had one of the strangest years at the plate. He finished the season fifth in the nation with a total of 61 walks and only struck out 10% of the time which is great but he also had an anemic .230 batting average with a .275 slugging. Breaking down the situations in which he walks is quite interesting, 72% of his walks came with runners on base and he walked in 38% of his at-bats with runners on, compared to 28% of his walks with bases empty and only walking in 19% of his at bats. There is no doubting that McGee has a great eye and excellent plate discipline which he deserves all the credit in the world for but he batted right in the middle of the lineup so it's quite possible that knowing the bottom of the lineup was extremely unproductive pitchers chose to be careful with McGee knowing the probability of getting out the next batter was higher. So this begs the question how will pitchers address Stephen McGee when the four batters in front of him are not on seemingly all the time? He has said himself that he needs to be more aggressive at the plate and that he will swing earlier in the count at closer pitches, as one of the few upperclassmen with experience he needs to continue to have productive at-bats. JUCO transfer Ladson Montgomery will be the primary backup catcher and SO Lee Howard will serve as the emergency catcher.
First Base: SO John Nogowski has been penciled as the opening day starter. The right-handed hitter from NFC in Tallahassee had a disappointing freshman season where he played in 56 games, starting 36 of them primarily as the designated hitter. A corner infield spot needs to provide power and that is something that Nogowski has to improve on. A .250/.361/.329 slash won't get it done which means JUCO transfer Casey Smit could take over the position or a platoon system could develop.
Second Base: It was a battle of two freshmen for the starting position that replaces an excellent offensive player and one of the best defenders to every play in Devon Travis. John Sansone, a 39th round draft pick out of Pennsylvania, won the job. He is fundamentally sound, not scary power at the plate but can definitely drive the ball to the gaps when he puts a good swing on the ball. Alvin Swoope, out of Treasure Coast will be his backup, similar to Travis in the field who can develop into a similar hitter. Good speed and surprising pop in his bat, has some growing to do in the field but is very quick with his hands just like Travis.
Shortstop: The lone infield returner this season is SR Justin Gonzalez. His return provides leadership for a lot of young faces as he is only one of three seniors on the team. Ryan Syrkus caught up with him earlier this week in regards to his return and what he hopes to accomplish this season.
The staff at Florida State last year was a huge breath of fresh air. Two freshman took over the Friday and Saturday starting roles and were instrumental in this team making it to the College World Series. He also revamped pitchers on this staff who had been plagued by an inept prior coach allowing to better their careers with a higher draft pick. Mike Bell will no doubt be a head coach in the future and he has definitely earned that but in the mean time Florida State is in prime position to once again return to a complete and balanced team, year in and year out.
Starting Rotation:
Friday: Sophomore Brandon Leibrandt earned preseason All-American honors after an amazing freshman campaign. Leibrandt was a horse for the Noles in 2012 working 5 or more innings in 14 of his 19 starts and did not allow a run five times, leading FSU to a 14-5 record in games he started. Another stellar season should lie ahead as he did not pitch in any summer leagues allowing his arm to rest and he put of fifteen pounds of good weight.
Saturday: The Noles received crushing news two weeks ago when it was made public that sophomore Mike Compton would be out the entire season with Tommy John surgery. Insert Scott Sitz who pitched in some memorable spots last year and was vital to the successful run the Seminoles made. Now a senior the right-hander begins the season in a role that he is familiar with to an extent, throughout his three years he has moved back and forth from starter to reliever with mixed results. Consistency and longevity are the big question marks with Sitz having never throwing more than 66 innings in a single year.
Sunday: Peter Miller, a junior out of Tampa, will be the Sunday guy for now beating out sophomore Luke Weaver. Weekday starts will go to Weaver but a lack of weekend production on either Saturday or Sunday could provide him a chance to emerge as a weekend guy. Both of these pitchers showed promise last year and with an off-season under the guidance of Coach Bell I think that they can provide more quality innings this season.
Relief Pitching:
The leader in appearances last season and co-leader of the Mustache Mafia, righty Gage Smith will once again be counted on extensively out of the pen. Redshirt sophomore Evan Geist is a lefty specialist, similar to Robby Scott and Tye Buckley, who will see mostly situational time. Left-handed junior Brandon Johnson will find that the bullpen is probably the spot for him possibly as a long relief guy if needed.
Bryant Holtman, the giant sophomore out of Illinois has a great arm from the left side and has an outside chance of seeing a spot start during mid-week games. The lefty sophomore Kyle Bird is similar to Geist but has a little more stamina will be a go to guy in situational spots and long relief.
JUCO transfer Billy Strode is similar to Geist, doesn't overpower you with this stuff, will be a situational guy out of the pen. Dylan Silva is a strong left-handed freshman with great potential and will probably be a situational guy to start things off in his career. Freshman righty Kenny Burkhead is similar to Mack Waugh, nothing that blows you away, just gets the job done. Possibly a mid-week starter but a great candidate for long relief out of the pen.
Another right-handed JUCO transfer Hayden Jordan is pretty much Dan Bennett Jr. Submarine guy who will probably see his time late in the game in the 7th or 8th to compliment Gage Smith before we get to the closer.
Going to be interesting all year at closer, from what I have heard Jameis Winston might start the year as the closer, but with his commitments to football he won't be relied on once spring practice starts. Then you'll see a closer by committee to get guys comfortable in the roll and prepared once Jameis leaves and again when he comes back.
Robby Coles could be one of those closers to fill his shoes when he leaves if not sooner.
The bullpen does not scare me as much as it has in year's past, Mike Bell has proven that he can do a lot in a little amount of time with new pitchers. Florida State has a reputation of being quick to the bullpen and with the number of arms in the pen holding a lead the late in games shouldn't be a big concern. The main issue that looms is quality innings out of the starters, the Seminoles need to consistently have their weekend starters go five plus innings if they want to be competitive.
Hope you enjoyed the preview as well as all the articles that we brought you this week, it was shorter than year's past and lighter on the statistical side. Statistical analysis is still an important part of what we do here at TN and expect plenty of that in future pieces. But for now, sit back and enjoy opening day. I will also refer you to the the TN Baseball Hub as well as SB Nation's new College Baseball Super Group, the goal is to make it into its own blog by March so we need your support.
The Florida State Seminoles host the Rhode Island Rams this weekend. Game notes for the Noles can be found here and game note for the Rams can be found here. As I mentioned in my Series Breakdown yesterday I don't feel that the Noles should have any issues in sweeping Rhode Island.
Hope to see everyone back at 4:00 PM as we will have a live play by play thread.
Go Noles!


text: Wooing, Wowing, and Winning Women Home BuyersExperts offer strategies on how to get women to commit to new homes.By Teresa Burney Make this your mantra, your motto, your life refrain, and you will sell more homes; and, maybe, if you have a wife or girlfriend, be happier at home too. Repeat after Melissa Morman, Linda Hebert, and Mark Patterson: "It's all about her. It's all about her. It's all about her." And then repeat again until you believe it and decide to work to make your "her" customers happy.Then listen to what Morman, vice president and general manager of Builder Homesite; Hebert, of Diversified Marketing and Communications; and Patterson, a successful Maine home builder, suggested about how to make women home buyers happy. They presented "Wow, Woo, and Win: Capture and Keep the Female Home Buyer" at the International Builders' Show in Las Vegas this week.You've probably already heard the statistics about why appealing to women home buyers is important. Some 91% of home buying decisions are made by women. Some 20% of home buyers are unmarried women. Plus, if you convince the woman in a partnership to buy, the man will usually follow."If you are effectively meeting her expectations, you exceed his," Morman told the audience.Here are some tips:Make all your imagery, messaging, and advertising appealing to women by using softer lines, brighter colors, and more lifestyle images. Dogs and kids are also good. "Engage her with a story, help her imagine building a better life," said HebertMake sure your website and all your marketing materials offer beautiful photos of your products as well as easy-to-read floor plans that allow website visitors to play with the design and place furniture. Make sure you make use of videos and virtual tours on your website. "There are better videos of shoes (to buy) than homes," said Morman. "If the online experience is not compelling, you may not make the short list," said Morman.Sell her on benefits of your homes rather than features. Tell how the features can save time and money, and (this is very important) reduce stress. Instead of just saying you offer granite countertops, talk about how they can make life better because they are easier to clean, durable, beautiful. Instead of just mentioning that you have closet organizers, talk about how they will make getting ready in the morning quicker.Engage her in a conversation about what she would like. Use social media to poll for favorite kitchen designs or what to call a cabinet color, for example. "We love to talk and give our opinions," said Morman.Since the home buying process is taking some nine to 12 months, find ways to keep your product in front of her through newsletters about events or promotions. "What can you do to stay in the hunt?" Morman asked.Little gifts buy favor. Women love coupons for goodies, such as massages. One builder advertised free maid service for a year and sold 30 homes that weekend.In the end, though, one of the most important ways to nab a woman buyer is to gain her trust, inspire confidence in your business, and differentiate your product from others.Again, "It's what you can do for her," said Hebert.Teresa Burney is a senior editor at Builder magazine.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio's critics spent $453K in failed recall bid
By Associated Press
Originally published: Feb 19, 2014 - 6:35 am
Originally published: Feb 19, 2014 - 6:35 am
PHOENIX -- Critics of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio spent all of the $453,000 they raised last year in their unsuccessful bid to force a recall election against the lawman.
Respect Arizona, a group that led the recall effort, got 80 percent of its money from another group that had organized a successful recall effort against then-Arizona Senate President Russell Pearce in 2011.
The recall effort launched against Arpaio ended without its organizers handing in signatures.
Recall organizers faced difficulties in raising money and relied more on volunteers rather than paid professionals to gather signatures from voters.
Arpaio, by comparison, raised $3.5 million in campaign contributions over the last year.

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.

Nvidia plans to integrate CPU cores alongside graphics cores in Tesla high-performance chips, which is a change from current Tesla chips that have only graphics processors.
Tesla is targeted at supercomputing and enterprise applications. Future Tesla chips with CPUs and GPUs could resemble Nvidia's Tegra processors for smartphones and tablets, which already combine ARM CPUs with GeForce graphics processors. But Tesla chips will combine CPU cores with graphics cores typically found in a discrete graphics card.
[ Keep up on the day's tech news headlines with InfoWorld's Today's Headlines: Wrap Up newsletter. ]
"Tegra is going to become GPU computing capable in the not-so-distant future. Sometime this decade we are also going to start bringing integrated CPUs and GPUs together in the Tesla line," said Steve Scott, chief technology officer for the Tesla product line at Nvidia, in an interview recently.
Nvidia declined to provide a specific date on when Tesla chips with CPUs and GPUs would be released. However Nvidia is building its own chips based on ARM's new ARMv8 64-bit architecture, which is expected to be used in servers, smartphones and tablets.
"We are working on Project Denver, which aims to make a very high-performance ARM core based on ARM64 that can be used in the range of Nvidia products," said Nvidia spokesman Hector Marinez in an email.
ARM on Tuesday announced its first 64-bit processors, the Cortex A57 and A53, which may go into servers starting in 2014. The new ARM processor cores are also derived from the ARMv8 architecture.
Some of the world's fastest computers combine CPUs and GPUs for complex scientific and math calculations. The recently announced Titan supercomputer at the U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory pairs 18,688 Advanced Micro Devices 16-core Opteron 6274 x86 CPUs with 18,688 Nvidia Tesla K20 GPUs to deliver 20 petaflops of performance. Nvidia's pairing of power-efficient ARM CPUs and GPUs on a single chip could provide tighter integration of components and quicker throughput while cutting server power consumption.
Low-power ARM processors are mostly found in smartphones and tablets, but there is a growing interest in ARM servers as companies look to cut energy bills. Last year Nvidia said that a prototype supercomputer with 1,000 quad-core Tegra 3 chips was being built at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center in Spain. Companies are looking at ARM servers as an energy-efficient way to handle large volumes of Web requests tied to search or social networks. Hewlett-Packard, Dell, Facebook and Amazon have expressed support for ARM servers.
AMD, however, has a jump on Nvidia in combining CPUs with GPUs in supercomputing products. AMD in August announced FirePro A300 high-performance processors that combine x86 CPUs and GPUs. Like Tegra chips, AMD also combines x86 chips with Radeon graphics cores in its A-, C- and E-series processors for PCs and Z-60 chips for tablets.
Scaling performance on supercomputers while keeping power consumption low is a challenge, and GPUs are faster than CPUs for complex applications, Scott said.

2.7/5 rDev -26.8%
Dark brown chalice brought out, thin head on it, less than 1/5" I'd say, but it has some pretty good retention for the tiny bit of head it developed, lace dots the glass as we choke this one down (neither my girlfriend nor I were fans).
The aroma was more of an annoying perfume moreso than anything resembling raspberries or chocolate (which was how the beer was described as containing and got us excited to order said beer). Something already seemed bad, and we were still going downhill.
A weird flavor profile of cardamom, ginger, unidentified berry puree mixture, very mild bitter chocolate undercurrent. Too much 'raspberry' and not enough chocolate. Made me wonder if there was actually chocolate added, or if it was just chocolate malt. Either way, it wasn't enough of either. A disappointing beer that sounded great when described.

Poured into a Maudite snifter. Pours pitch black with a half finger fine light tan head with god retention and light lacing. Aroma of dark roasted malt and lots of cardamom, a hint of raspberry. Flavor of toasted and lightly charred malt, slight dark fruit, cardamom, light chocolate and light raspberry as in the aroma. Finishes with a nice combination of raspberry and charred malt with light hops. Medium bodied, approaching creaminess. The raspberry component was used with a deft touch, combining well with the malt. Spicing was also at a nice level. This was a unique, well made and fun to drink stout for International Stout Day. Glad I was able to get a bottle.

Quite likable raspberry flavor with a very pleasing fragrance of fruit with just a touch of spice. Thoroughly black in the St. Bernardus chalice with a big blanket of beige foam and lots of lacing along the glass. Spritzy mouthfeel and plenty carbonated.
Deep, dark malt with a hint of chocolate. The fruit is quite powerful but the cardamom and hops take that off course. Not very sweet, though it's quite malty. An interesting fruity tartness, like sour cherries, underneath the burnt sugar and blackened malt. Bitter in the aftertaste and a taste like berry seeds with the bitterish spices. Different, and not like the sweet unctuous RIS styles.
I like that they didn't feel the need to jack up the ABV to the max. From the 750 ml bottle purchased at Holiday Wine Cellar in Escondido.

Bottle I brought to share at jmgrub's tasting.
Pours a murky black with a foamy dark khaki head that settles to an oily film on top of the beer. Small dots of lace slowly drip into the remaining beer on the drink down. Smell is of dark roasted malt, cardamom, spices, and some slight berry aromas. Taste is much the same with a spice finish. There is a medium amount of roasty bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a good level of carbonation with a crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a good beer but there is much more of a spice presence than any berry aromas or flavors.

Bottle purchased from holiday cellars, Escondido Ca
Poured in oversized wine glass (expecting fruit essence)
A: dark, opaque cola blackness. Little to no head, what little there is dissipates fairly fast leaving the slightest foam at the very edge of the glass. When opened, the scent of raspberries filled the room.
N: see above. Raspberries heavy, with an earthiness base of toasted malt and since you read it on the label... I suppose that's a little cardamom in there?
T/F: very interesting raspberry soda on initial sip, earthy spice finishing on tongue and staying there until next sip. I pick up a flavor of a milk stout through all that fruit. A little heat on the aftertaste, that's pleasant. This really is a unique flavor and it flows like a cola and has the mouthfeel of one, thin and a little bubbly.
O: trying to be open about the flavor, but I must say that a thicker, syrupy mouthfeel might have made this a better stout. Instead it comes across like something that is "almost there", still enjoyable, worth trying once. I would serve close to room temp, might be fun with a BBQ grilled pork chop.
- really tasted great with some salted cashews I opened after reviewing.

a very deep brown almost black pour with 2 fingers of creme colored head which gave off great amounts of lacing. scents of roasted grains, slight oxidation, and a hint of berries. the berries are very faint in the flavor.. mostly a smokey licorice-coffee overall feel with a light hint of raspberry towards the finish. nice chocolate and dark roast flavors. creamy mouthfeel with a medium body and moderate amount of carbonation.
this is a nice offering, and i am pretty glad i get to enjoy it on a nice quiet night with fireworks from a few towns over in the background.

1L pop top bottle poured into pint glass april18 2010
A almost crystal clear copper with a big 3 finger head that quickly fell to a 1/2in film that hung around for a while leaving some patches of lace
S lots of malt with some nuts and mild hops
T lots of malt with some mild chocolate and a little nut much like the smell, but even a little stronger
M well carbonated and it has good length, you could taste it for a bit after its in your tummy
D very well rounded beer and If there was a 4.25 option it would have gotten that once or twice, so in an effort to make up for that the 4.5 gets dropped here
I rather liked this beer and had no problem with the liter bottle. I hope Howe Sound keeps sending new products to the east because I've enjoyed everything I've gotten my hands on to date

1L bottle with swing-top. Pours an slightly hazy dark copper color with a big tan head that quickly fades away and leaves no lacing. Aroma is very malty with some molasses. The taste is malt, chocolate, and some light bitterness from the earthy hops. Only downside is the mouthfeel is a little thin and watery. Still a nice beer, this is quite drinkable.

Another big-ass 1L swing-top bottle - you gotta love seeing these bad boys on the shelves of your local store...
This beer pours a hazy medium amber colour, with two fingers of foamy off-white head, which renders a solid wall of lace around the glass as it slowly recedes. It smells of biscuit grain, and mild noble hops. The taste is biscuity, bready grain, a bit of lemon, and tangy, citrus, and spicy hops. The carbonation is moderate, the body light, but still substantial, and smooth, and it finishes off-dry, an echo of the sweet malt overridden by the remaining hops.
A very decent amber ale, with a nice edgy, but not genre-bending, hoppiness.

A - a clear copper with 2 fingers of creamy white head that retained well and left a nice random lacing up the glass
S - biscuity and slightly smoky malt, with herbal and grassy malts very prominent, and just slight hints of citrus and spice
T - appetizing nutty and smoky malts up front, the herbal and grass notes are more subtle than the smells suggests, with some biscuity and herbal flavours lingering
M - highish carbonated feel, giving way to smooth full feel with some hop bitter and dry characteristics on finish
D - overall the well balanced mix of malt and hop flavours with a refreshing carbonation kick and hop dryness make this a very easy drinking beer, maybe even so much so that one 1L bottle tastes like another

Having been pleased with all of Howe Sounds offerings that I've tried to date, I was really looking forward to seeing what this had to offer.
A - A slightly cloudy copper colour, pours a nice thumb of light bubbly head, leaving a small amount of lacing.
S - Was rather disappointed with the scent on this one, it was a little lighter than I would've expected. Scents of brown sugar, and fall leaves off the top, with a bready malt scent coming through on the finish.
T - Even though the scent was rather mild, the flavour on this was rather robust, sweet malts, toffee and caramel. A little bitter on the finish with citrus hops, making for a nice balance.
M - Light and bubbly, and goes down very smooth.
D - Not the flavour explosion I was hoping for and have grown accustomed to from Howe Sound, however, it is still a delicious ale worthy of trying.

It's baaack.
A: pours an attractive, as advertised, copper colour with the slightest bit of haze. Huge off-white, rocky head with excellent retention. leaves a thick, sticky lace on the glass.
S: sweet, bready, caramel malts a a touch of northwest hops with subtle aromas of coffee and chocolate as well - very nice.
T: malty throughout with the slightest touch of hops and a very grainy, bready, flavour on the lingering finish - quite dry as well. Reminds quite a bit of an English Pub Ale.
M: medium bodied, slightly watery, nice spicy, subtle carbonation and a crisp, dry finish. Again, quite Pub Ale like given the relatively low level of carbonation.
D: This is a very drinkable, highly enjoyable ale - much like and English pub ale - that has an intriguing aroma and satisfies the palate. Finishing this 1 Litre bottle should be no problem at all. It didn't blow my socks off but I would, and probably will, buy this beer again

A spring seasonal from the boys from Squamish. Copper coloured (of course) with a monster head. Malty nose and a good malt orientated backbone. This is a incredibly drinakble ale that tastes like an amber ale crossed with a light Scottish beer. The maibock like flavours make this a real Spring seasonal that lives up to the title.

Apparently *not* the same as the Mettleman Hemp & Honey...different ABV and ingredients.
Rich red-copper colour with a thin, but full head. Aptly named as this is the colour of well-worn penny.
Odd malt smell. Not unpleasant, but it seems a bit different than most red ales I've had. Sort of a caramel/toffee tone, with a bit of a rusty nail, old penny scent.
Taste is bordering almost on a bitter. Malts with a definite hop profile. A little bit sweeter than a bitter should be, but very pleasant.
A great session ale, very smooth and easy to drink. Shame this is a limited bottling.

1 litre bottle with new artwork for 2009. Spring seasonal.
Appearance: Transparent coppery brown colour with three finger beige head when poured into tall half litre central European style glass tankard. Head recedes after a short while to a heavy ring and thin layer of froth, leaving modest lacing.
Aroma: Tempered malty sweetness and chocolate, but not as strongly chocolatey as, for example, some European beers that are reminiscent of chocolate mousse.
Taste: Restrained malty sweetness with gentle coffee and chocolate flavours, leading to a gentle hop bitterness that mingles with the malts and a finish that doesn't linger for very long. Extremely well balanced, rewarding, and rounded. Unlike some amber/copper/brown ales from the pacific northwest, this does not even begin to taste like cola or rootbeer.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with a slight silkiness. Minimal carbonation.
Drinkability: Very, very drinkable. Its easy finish does not detract from its wonderful flavour. Easily sessionable and capable of maintaining the appreciation. If you want a beer with a long, lingering finish, this beer is not for you. But you are missing out if you don't try this.

text: Agreed. I really thought Wang deserved a JW spot. Especially when she was passed over for JW last year after finishing 8th overall but was 5th in the LP.. She did have the highest scoring element in the 2013 Ladies SR competition (3Z/3T/2T scored 12.60 pts). A feat in itself. I'm glad to see Hicks and Cesario on the team, but a little leary with Siraj. Siraj has the tiniest jumps i've ever seen on a SR lady. Tinier than Lams. I would have preferred Wang or Edmunds over Siraj. Though I do like Siraj's artistry.

As online marketers are under more pressure from C-level executives to deliver a return on investment (ROI), research shows attribution software is helping to more fully understand the online and offline sale funnels.
Chicago, USA – June 23, 2014 /MM-LC/ —
As online marketers are under more pressure from C-level executives to deliver a return on investment (ROI), research shows attribution software is helping to more fully understand the online and offline sale funnels.
According to the introduction of an eConsultancy report titled Marketing Attribution: Valuing the Customer Journey, "traditionally available tools have provided visibility into the very top of the funnel (views, clicks, opens) and the bottom (sales, registrations, leads). Marketing and budget optimization have overlooked most of the funnel, where influence and research occur, and where 100 percent of opportunity gets whittled down to 2 percent conversion. "
Marketing attribution platforms determine the role specific marketing channels play in informing and influencing how customers find, research, compare and ultimately come to buy products online. Attribution can track each of the many touch points (online and offline) that bring the customer to the sale. This enables marketers to understand how marketing affects the entire sales cycle, and then allocate proper resources for each channel. Attribution can also provide deep insights as advertisers try to improve and plan future campaigns by calculating metrics over a historical period.
"Understanding attribution is key to learning the true value of different click streams, campaigns and cross-channel marketing efforts," says Sarah Bundy, the award-winning CEO of All Inclusive Marketing, (http://www.allinclusivemarketing.com), a digital marketing agency . "It sheds light into what works and what doesn't while giving decision makers better insights into where to spend their next dollar for smarter ROI."
The eConsultancy study shows several barriers to attribution adoption including:
• A lack of priority within marketing (51 percent)
• Being unsure of how to choose the appropriate method/model of attribution (42 percent)
• A need to better understand political advantages (42 percent)
• A lack of data or access to inform the process ( 41 percent)
• Requirements for new staff resources (37 percent)
• A lack of budget (33 percent)
• A lack of management buy-in (32 percent)
• The idea that attribution technology is not where it needs to be (27 percent)
"Big brands, and small alike, are pouring money into measurable performance from marketing," Charles Calabrese, Vice President of Operation at Performance Horizon Group, says. "But regardless of company size, brands should be interested in click path analysis, to understand the role of different players in the path to the sale, with an ultimate goal of uncovering better insights into customer behavior."
But there are some who are not convinced that attribution is not the Holy Grail for advertisers.
"For example, search is generally inelastic compared to display. And search is highly sensitive to other media (interaction effect). Attribution alone sends you on a wild goose chase." according to one industry veteran who didn't want to be named.
According to PeformanceIN, the industry is no closer to a big shift away from a last click attribution model. "While advertisers are looking at better ways to reward publishers based on their role within customer journeys, there is unlikely to be a major shift away from the last click model any time soon."
