This Wednesday, both 7-Eleven stores in Mahwah will be giving away free slurpees to customers who stop in between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m.
The annual giveaway is part of a nationwide "7-Eleven Day" campaign that happens every July 11 (or 7/11), in honor of the franchise's birthday. 2012 marks the company's 85th year in business, and the 45th birthday of the Slurpee.
Customers can ask for a free, 7.11-ounce Slurpee at any 7-Eleven location, while supplies last, a release from the convenience store chain said.
"7-Eleven Day, or free Slurpee Day, gets bigger and more popular every year," Joe DePinto, 7-Eleven president and CEO, said in the release. "This year we expect to give away 7 million Slurpee drinks, more than ever before, beating last year's offer by 2 million."
So, if you are looking for a free way to cool down Wednesday, stop by the inside the Gateway Plaza on Franklin Turnpike, or the in the Ramapo Centre on Ridge Road, for a free Slurpee. Contact the individual store for more details.

Interesting chairs, crazy price for my budget. I bet they don't bounce across the floor like those chairs with the tube legs that come down from the front of the seat and bend back along the floor. Those things could MOVE! Used to make my mother go nuts when we raced them across the kitchen.
CMYK chairs--very tempting!

Mtn. Vew mayor won't join anti-gun violence coalition

Eddy's Shooting Sports must do quite the business. Right, Mayor Inks?
on Sep 19, 2013 at 9:47 am
"Mayors Against Illegal Guns."
It doesn't take much for this group to become:
"Mayors Against Guns."
Mayor Inks no doubt sees that. Palo Alto's Mayor Greg Scharff probably does too, since Palo Alto's Mayor Greg Scharff has never really advocated much for the US 2nd Amendment.
While Palo Alto's Mayor Greg Scharff has joined this group, he has never indicated that he would join "Mayor's Against Crime", or "Mayors Against Illegal Immigration."
Well, at least Mountain View has an honest Mayor, unlike Palo Alto.
on Sep 19, 2013 at 9:56 am
2nd-Amendment-Advocate, you funny.
on Sep 19, 2013 at 10:08 am
This 2nd amendment?
"A WELL REGULATED Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
The well regulated part is what the argument is about, correct?
Or the unwritten part: if you keep guns in your home, you or someone you love is 22 times more likely to be harmed by those guns than to use them in self defense.
and... "Those persons with guns in the home were at greater risk than those without guns in the home of dying from a homicide in the home" Web Link
and "a 1998 study in the Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery that found that "every time a gun in the home was used in a self-defense or legally justifiable shooting, there were four unintentional shootings, seven criminal assaults or homicides, and 11 attempted or completed suicides." Pistol owners' fantasy of blowing away home-invading bad guys or street toughs holding up liquor stores is a myth debunked by the data showing that a gun is 22 times more likely to be used in a criminal assault, an accidental death or injury, a suicide attempt or a homicide than it is for selfdefense."
Now, what Well Regulated Militia are we talking about? Seems like a pretty stupid, and male-ego driven one, at that....
Fantasies and the male-ego - putting families at risk since 1776.
on Sep 19, 2013 at 10:29 am
> Fantasies and the male-ego - putting families at risk since 1776.
So .. this poster would seem to be condemning the Colonials for resulting to armed rebellion to create the United States of America, or to use force of arms to defend this country since that time.
Fantasy? Well, anyone who really believes that the US could have grown to its current size, and prosperity, without the use of arms is in total delusion.
Oh, and by the way--British Citizens (or which most of the Colonials qualified) were granted the right to bear arms after the Glorious Revolution in 1688. The framers of the new country were well aware of that fact. Given that the government that we now enjoy was hammered together in less than thirty years (1763-1787), based on some portions of the English government, and a lot of theoretical ideas (Hobbes, Locke, etc.) that had never been tried before, the Constitution of 1787 is both a masterpiece, and woefully inadequate, as a basis for creating a working government that deals with every conceivable issue facing the newly minted country, at that time, and the coming years.
Guns were used to feed families, and to protect them, from the earliest days of the Jamestown colony. Claims to the otherwise are revisionist propaganda, nothing more.
on Sep 19, 2013 at 10:38 am
Another example of narrow-minded NRA thinking: if they make any rules about guns, pretty soon they'll take away our "right" to have guns. What baloney (and baloney was not the word I wanted to use)! Any law-abiding, responsible gun owner should be behind tougher checks, so the [portion removed] who now can buy guns don't make everybody look bad. Mayor Inks - he doesn't care who has guns in his city, I guess.
on Sep 19, 2013 at 11:07 am
Plenty of parents in Mtn View. Can the Mayor see the writing on the wall? maybe they're looking for Mayors in Colorado.

on Sep 19, 2013 at 11:44 am
Whether they should or shouldn't, I would hope that the mayors are speaking for those that elected them rather than themselves. I don't remember Palo Alto actually voting on this. I don't want the mayor of Palo Alto (whoever it may be) speaking for Palo Alto without a mandate to do so.
on Sep 19, 2013 at 12:18 pm
"Guns were used to feed families, and to protect them, from the earliest days of the Jamestown colony. Claims to the otherwise are revisionist propaganda, nothing more."
Yup. As silly as some modern day PA family being protected by a Daniel Boone wannabe. Silly? Yes. Real World Danger? Of course.
One notes that there is zero discussion of the WELL REGULATED 2nd amendment, nor of the higher risk that his family takes so a gun owner can feel (yes FEEL) like some sort of wild west patriot.
Real life statistics (also called "tragedies") prove that gun possession is a self-defense fallacy, based on an illusion of perceived safety (compared to the reality of increased tragedy.)
22 times the danger, for yourself and loved ones, so you can FEEL better. Wow. You know, they make pharmaceuticals that help those who live in constant fear, or have low self-esteem, those who FEEL like a gun makes them actually FEEL powerful. Gun possession in the home is a dangerous salve for those feeble enough to think it makes them actually safer, with all evidence to the contrary.
22 times the danger for you or your loved ones. Way to go, patriot (yes, please put "patriot" in full sarcasm font.) Fantasies and the male-ego - putting families at risk since 1776, okay, my bad, strike that. Let's go with full, documented reality:
Fantasies and the male-ego - putting modern families at risk FOR DECADES.
Feel better? Can't imagine how - knowing you have put your family in danger for some puffed up NRA fantasy. Good luck with that. Statistics show you'll need it.
May the Good Lord protect your family from being another statistic.
on Sep 19, 2013 at 12:41 pm
As a Mountain View resident, I am mortified by our Mayor's stance. The need for more stringent oversight and change of our current laws on gun control is completely obvious. I appreciate understanding our current Mayor's stance and I hope he will not run for re-election. This is really disappointing.
on Sep 19, 2013 at 1:34 pm
A home owner in Monterey county just shot a person breaking into his house last week. Using the right tool at the right time. Good for him! The US is selling more guns now than any other time in history.
on Sep 19, 2013 at 2:50 pm
Gun Owner,
You really want to look at the stats of self-defense v. accidents and homicides?
Or do you want to latch on to the occasional anecdote so you don't have to look at events like Sandy Hook, Aurora, Virginia Tech and the Naval Shipyard?
on Sep 19, 2013 at 3:42 pm
Gun owner?? I pray for your safety, and for your family.
"A home owner in Monterey county just shot a person breaking into his house last week."
And this week, in one of the more secire buildings in DC, run by the military a massacre.
Gimmee a break. For every "good" outcome, come dozens of tragedies: accidents while cleaning by supposed "responsible gun owners" (want a list of cops who accidentally discharged?) Murders. Domestic violence. "Good" guns that get stolen. Murders. Suicides.
All by so called "good guns".
22 times more likely to bring your family harm, than "good". Your poor misguided attempt to feel like a man, may well cause your family harm. Again, we pray for you.
A real family man protects his family, he doesn't cause greater risk by having a gun at home.
on Sep 19, 2013 at 6:50 pm
To Which Amendment,
Thanks for praying for me! That's very nice!
on Sep 19, 2013 at 11:54 pm
I am very unhappy with this group, Mayors Against Illegal Guns. I never gave them my email address and they sent me an email last Friday. When I tried to phone them to ask them how they got my email address and to be removed from their list, I discovered that there is no phone number listed on their website or Facebook page.
I politely asked them on Facebook to stop emailing me, and today I received another email from them.
on Sep 20, 2013 at 12:00 am
You're probably not on their own list. Lists of e-mail addresses can be rented or swapped--so your address is, in a sense, being "borrowed." The people running the FB page probably have nothing to do with your getting e-mail.
Annoying, isn't it?
on Sep 20, 2013 at 12:25 am
Sure wish that Mountain View could annex my property. So tired of the shallow depth of thought and incompetence in Palo Alto city government.
on Sep 20, 2013 at 8:16 am
What is a person to do when most police departments, when called, direct you to their website to file a crime report?? In Fremont, the cops will not come to your home unless a murder is in progress, literally, due to all of their layoffs ( yet they still give traffic citations!)
In a high crime area like East San Jose, where some cops fear to tread, and the police force has been woefully reduced, how does a person protect himself from violent crime, should the need arise?
Personally, I hate guns and weapons of all kinds. However, I would truly rather. E in front of twelve than under six!
on Sep 20, 2013 at 11:33 am
> Yup. As silly as some modern day PA family being
> protected by a Daniel Boone wannabe
Absolutely meaningless comment. One might as well be talking to a wall!
> 22X less safe ..
Says who?
Let's start with a little data. The following WSJ interactive database is a good place to start.
Wall Street Journal/Murder In America:
Web Link
We could go to any number of data sources on crime/murder/etc., and we won't find much in the way of data which provides any insight into how many illegal guns were used in these crimes/murders, etc.
The number of gun-related deaths in the US is somewhere in the 12K-14K per year, at the moment. About half of these are suicides. A significant number of the remainder are deaths resulting from the commission of a crime (often criminals killing criminals). The number of people killed defending themselves is very low, based on this data.
But let's start with a few simple questions:
How many illegal guns are there in the US?
How many illegal guns are these in Mountain View?
How many innocent people are killed with illegal guns in the US yearly?
Bet that not one of the Mayors who have signed up to get their names in the paper can answer one of these questions. Soif they can't answer the questions, how big is the problem? And if the problem isn't that bigwhat's their real agenda?
on Sep 20, 2013 at 12:59 pm
2nd amnd adv shifts the discussion from the dangers of possessing a gun in home to illegal guns.
"> 22X less safe .. Says who?"
Well, the Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery, that's who. And a whole lot more.
If you have a gun in the home, you are endangering the your life or a loved one.
"a 1998 study in the Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery that found that "every time a gun in the home was used in a self-defense or legally justifiable shooting, there were four unintentional shootings, seven criminal assaults or homicides, and 11 attempted or completed suicides." Pistol owners' fantasy of blowing away home-invading bad guys or street toughs holding up liquor stores is a myth debunked by the data showing that a gun is 22 times more likely to be used in a criminal assault, an accidental death or injury, a suicide attempt or a homicide than it is for selfdefense."
More: "Results: During the study interval (12 months in Memphis, 18 months in Seattle, and Galveston) 626 shootings occurred in or around a residence. This total included 54 unintentional shootings, 118 attempted or completed suicides, and 438 assaults/homicides. Thirteen shootings were legally justifiable or an act of self-defense, including three that involved law enforcement officers acting in the line of duty. For every time a gun in the home was used in a self-defense or legally justifiable shooting, there were four unintentional shootings, seven criminal assaults or homicides, and 11 attempted or completed suicides.
Conclusions: Guns kept in homes are more likely to be involved in a fatal or nonfatal accidental shooting, criminal assault, or suicide attempt than to be used to injure or kill in self-defense." Web Link
"Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. In addition to the 31,672 people killed by guns in 2010, another 73,505 were treated in hospital emergency rooms for nonfatal bullet wounds, and 337,960 nonfatal violent crimes were committed with guns. Of those 31,672 dead, 61 percent were suicides, and the vast majority of the rest were homicides by people who knew one another."
"For example, of the 1,082 women and 267 men killed in 2010 by their intimate partners, 54 percent were shot by guns." Web Link
Keep a gun at home? 22 times more likely to cause tragedy than be used in self defense. Still insist on it for your male pride?
Then you are subjecting your loved ones (and you) to far greater risk than good. Guns at home cause more problems and tragedy than they fix. Other than one fix: inflating a weak male ego, which guns seem to help, for some pathetic reason.
Prayers for your family.
on Sep 20, 2013 at 1:02 pm
"For every time a gun in the home was used in a self-defense or legally justifiable shooting, there were four unintentional shootings, seven criminal assaults or homicides, and 11 attempted or completed suicides."
That's fact.
1 good use, for every 22 TRAGEDIES.
Absurd, laughable even, if not for the family members and children victimized by the weak male need for a gun.
on Sep 20, 2013 at 1:31 pm
Oh this is it: two "responsible gun owners", with conceal and carry permits.
Obviously a responsible pair of gun owners, protecting 'Murica from the redcoats, as the WELL REGULATED militia members, as intended and described in the Constitution
"IONIA, Mich. (WZZM) -- Two drivers are dead after a road rage incident escalated into a shootout. The incident happened around 6:45 p.m. Wednesday on M-66 near Steele Street.
Witnesses tell WZZM 13 one driver was following another driver too closely. The first driver pulled into the Wonder Wand Car Wash parking lot and the other driver followed him into the lot.
Witnesses say the driver of the following car fired shots, and the first driver returned fire. Both drivers were shot and killed. Authorities say both men had licenses to carry concealed weapons." Web Link
At least they got their guns safely out of the house, before they risked the the inherent 22-1 chance of hurting their family in the home.
Sometimes, even our prayers can't help the deluded gun owners.
on Sep 21, 2013 at 8:29 am
"Deluded gun owners" ya, right. My right to own a gun (legally), your right not to. End of story.

> 1998 study
This so-called study is over fifteen years old. To be meaningful, these sorts of calculations would need to be recalculated on a yearly basis.
However, what needs to be pointed out is that the number of numbers cited in these studies are very, very, very, small, compared to the total number of guns in American, and presumably kept in people's homes.
Just how many guns are there? No one knows for certain, but various sources suggest something in the range of 280M. The number of deaths in the US, involving firearms, is in the 10K-20K a year (or the past decade). The number of deaths attributed to so-called assault weapons is barely 1% of all of the deaths, and most assuredly these deaths involve gangs, and other criminal elementsnot ordinary Americans who decide to go shoot up a soda shop on a Saturday night, because they are bored.
Using ratios, like "22X more likely" without including the numbers that these calculations are based upon is intellectually dishonest. Intelligent people should immediate by suspicious of any such propositions. Moreover, without having access to the methodology used to make these calculationsthere is no way to know what variables were included, and which were excluded. Some analyses of these sorts of studies report that there has been significant "cherry-picking" of the data used by anti-gun advocates.
What's really interesting to note is that home swimming pools are a source of deaths in young children that never seems to be noticed by the anti-gun advocates:
Web Link
Drowning is a leading cause of unintentional injury death worldwide, and the highest rates are among children (1). Overall, drowning death rates in the United States have declined in the last decade; however, drowning is the leading cause of injury death among children aged 14 years (2,3). In 2001, approximately 3,300 persons died from unintentional drowning in recreational water settings, and an estimated 5,600 were treated in emergency departments (EDs) (4).
The following is an interesting article that compares gun-related deaths of children against pool-related deaths
What's Riskier: A gun or a swimming pool?:
Web Link
Wonder how many parents against guns are remotely aware of the dangers to their children in homes where there are pools?

That User Name is already is a registered user.
[Portion removed]The Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery study is very clear:
22 instances of gun violence for each time a gun was used in self-defense.
That's 22 tragedies as Willis has posted, for every legitimate use.
"626 shootings occurred in or around a residence. This total included 54 unintentional shootings, 118 attempted or completed suicides, and 438 assaults/homicides. Thirteen shootings were legally justifiable or an act of self-defense, including three that involved law enforcement officers acting in the line of duty. For every time a gun in the home was used in a self-defense or legally justifiable shooting, there were four unintentional shootings, seven criminal assaults or homicides, and 11 attempted or completed suicides."
Of 626 shootings, only 13 were justifiable or self defense
For EACH "justifiable" use, there were:
- four unintentional shootings
- seven criminal assaults or homicides
- eleven attempted or completed suicides
You can [portion removed] talk about recreational drownings, but folks don't choose to bring a water-skiing lake or pond home with them. They cover a pool or choose not to have one. If they choose to keep an uncovered pool, or allow alcohol use, they are needlessly putting loved ones at risk. Either way, it doesn't compare to Gun Deaths.
31,328 US gun deaths in 2010. That current enough data for you?
If you keep a gun in the home, you are needlessly risking the safety of you and your family. Willis just asked: why would a person do that to their loved ones?
Would you place money in Vegas with odds like that?

You all are missing a couple of points -
Firearms are used by many folks, myself included, for sport. And no, I don't hunt - never have. I shoot trap and sporting clays, and target shoot. Where is the harm, bravado, macho BS etc. in that? It is simply fun to do. Try it some time before you condemn the tools of the sport.
Also, stats that show that guns are so violent are usually cherry picked. Consider how many people die a year in car accidents (over 35,000/year in 2009 according the the US Census)). If that is acceptable (must be since no one wants to outlaw cars), why is 11,000 gun murders (in 2010) even worth commenting on?
No one number can tell the story. We have all heard the one that says there are "Lies, damned lies, and statistics"
Also, your odds of dying from the following are greater than from a firearms assault:
heart disease
intentional self-harm
car accident
Unintentional poisoning by and exposure to noxious substances

I think everyone needs to take a step back, and drive slower.

American Council on Exercise4851 Paramount DriveSan Diego, California 92123
Posted: Wednesday, July 25, 2001 in ACE Press Releases
Operation FitKids, the youth outreach program for the American Council on Exercise (ACE), worked with school administrators, Townsports International/New York Sports Clubs and the New York City Fire Department to turn the school's dance studio into a fully outfitted fitness center, complete with state-of-the-art cardio and strength equipment. The dance studio was a focal point in the 1980 blockbuster Fame, which was filmed at the former school of performing arts.
The morning's festivities were topped off when New York Sports Commissioner Ken Podziba declared June 18 as Operation FitKids Day in the city of New York. He presented the proclamation, signed by Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, to Operation FitKids founder Ken Germano in front of an excited crowd of students and their families, fire fighters, ACE staff, and school personnel.
"It was definitely exciting to have the mayor of New York create Operation FitKids Day," said Germano, who is also the executive director of ACE. " The only thing more exciting is the students' eagerness to start using the facility and working with the fire fighters in their community to get stronger and healthier. This is exactly why I created Operation FitKids back in 1990."
Another highlight of the ceremony came when New York City fire commissioner Thomas Von Essen stood up to address the students. He spoke of the importance of hard work and commitment to a purpose. His words had even stronger impact on the crowd, because just the day before three New York City fire fighters were killed during a building fire in Queens. Although the commissioner had been up all night tending to the tragedy, he still made time for the students.
One of Operation FitKids' goals is to create community partnerships through which schools can receive added support in their area. One of these relationships is with the fire department, and another is with Townsports International/New York Sports Club, which donated all of the equipment for the facility. New York-based specialty fitness retailer Gym Source has also provided support.
The opening, scheduled to coincide with Club Industry East 2001, marked the first time that Operation FitKids partnered with fire fighters to incorporate a mentoring program into a school site. In conjunction with the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF), Operation FitKids is planning to develop mentoring programs and educational programs for new sites across the country.
Operation FitKids, the youth outreach program of the American Council on Exercise, is dedicated to enriching the lives of America's youth with enhanced education for healthy lifestyles and increased opportunities for physical activity. Operation FitKids can provide schools with one or more of the following components: commercial fitness equipment, educational materials, staff training, mentoring and community partnering. For more information on Operation FitKids, please contact Jeanne Dierickx at 800/825-3636, x757, or at email@example.com.

The weather is fantastic for everyone who is headed down to the Country Club Plaza for the start of the holiday season. Some people are already staking out a place to watch the lights come on.
Three players from the Major League Soccer team Sporting Kansas City will help light up the Plaza on Thanksgiving night.
Matt Besler, Kei Kamara and Jimmy Nielsen will flip the switch that turns on more than 250,000 lights outlining buildings in the upscale shopping and dining district.
The festivities also will include fireworks and musical performances.
However, there are two big changes in Kansas City this year including unseasonably warm weather and a new stage location on the west side of the Plaza by Brio and the movie theater.
Hours before the festivities started people were still just trickling in, maybe using the warm weather to tackle their leaves before the daylight slips away.
The buskers were getting in position to get their take from the crowd while one unannounced special guest was dressed for the warm weather greeting children.
Terry Templeton, who plays Santa for a living, had some of the children attending the Plaza Lighting unsure what to make of his Hawaiian attire.
Templeton says he gets looks year-round, even without the uniform.
"There was one little girl in some restaurant and she was doing something, so when I got up, I went over, asked her if she'd been good. It was great," Templeton said.
The Plaza lighting ceremony is in its 83rd year and regularly draws tens of thousands of people. This year, the lights will shine daily from 5 p.m. to 3 a.m. through Jan. 13.

Served on tap in a Bordeaux style glass at Grape Juice in Kerrville, Texas.
Brew has a chocolate froth colored head of about 1" over a dark, opaque brew. Smell is of coffee.... with light hints of mocha.
Taste follows coffee smell is well balanced flavors. Very smooth and chipotle flavor is subtle; just right in my opinion. I've had other chipotle brews which - to me - seemed far too "hot." Texas Ranger is perfect, IMHO.
Excellent mouthfeel and finish is quick and pleasant - especially considering this is a porter.
I hope to visit GJ again to try this wonderful brew.

Poured into a becker a deep chocolate brown with a fluffy tan colored head that left broken globs of lace as it settled into a frothy mass.Sweet smoked chili,roasted nut,and bitter chocolate in the nose.Bitter chocolate and some roast at the onset on the palate then comes a big shot of smoke and spice in a lingering finish.This is what a smoked/chili porter should be,all elements get their turn,nice job.

Thanks to Jeff for cracking this one. It pours a continuous black, only broken up by the darkest brown and ruby edges that hug the glass. The cloud-like tan head grows as big as the beer itself and is very slow to settle. Thick sheets of lace stick to the glass as the frothy head makes its descent.
Simply put, the aroma is full of roast and spice. Toasted and nearly burnt, roasted malts with some char, coupled with zesty, peppery and chipotle barbecue-ish spices. There's definitely some spicy heat coming off the aroma, and it's backed by a mild smokiness with a light, peaty undercurrent.
The taste pretty much follows through exactly where the aroma leaves off. Pretty smokey up front with a quick rush of BBQ-like chipotle peppers that invade the palate quickly. It's actually not as tingly-spicy as I was expecting, rather the flavor of the peppers and the spices are more prominent than their actual heat; that is definitely a good thing.
Roasty malts are the structure of everything, though they're pretty light in comparison to the heavy chipotle spice. I really like the flavors of this brew; the problem is, they are intense enough to kind of wear the palate down quick. Drinking this is copious amounts would be difficult, even at only 6.6% ABV. Medium bodied, medium carbonation, with a pretty smooth and lightly creamy mouth feel.
Definitely an interesting beer, and even a bit different than most of your smoked options. Chipotle peppers are easily identifiable, and while tasty, a little bit certainly goes a long way. Would be good in smaller pours of 4 oz or so, but finish even half a bottle would be a challenge for me.

Seriously good beer.
Black in color with a small rust-colored head. Nice contrast. A little bit of lace.
Roasted malt aroma. Cocoa and ground coffee. Peppery.
The flavors work together quite well. Chocolate and espresso. Pepper. Great afterburn.
Just the right amount of heat in this porter. Assertive, not aggressive.
Thoroughly enjoyed this.

The beer pours dark brown to black with a tan head. The aroma is chipotle peppers, roasted malt and some smoke. The flavor is great. I get roasted malt, chocolate, smoke and pepper with some medium heat. There is a little burn in the flavor which is very nice. Thick mouthfeel and low to medium carbonation.

Poured into a snifter black with a thick tan head. Good lacing. Smells strong of stale smoke. Not too terribly appealing. The taste is of deep smoke also with strong coffee taste. The chili begins to warm your mouth after about 30 seconds. It also isn't too terribly appealing in taste.
I don't know that this is such a great drinking beer. BUT . . . I bet this would make a GREAT marinating beer. Stick a nice NY Strip in some of this for about 12 hours and you might get something.

A thick medium brown in color, this brew certainly looks the part. A nice, creamy light tan head between one and two fingers tall hoilds itself well and leaves patchy lacing in good quantity on the glass.
Chocolate notes with some roast are found in the nose with a touch of coffee, the heat of the peppers just rising up a bit underneath. As I'd hope with any good beer brewed with peppers, the pepper flesh is detectable, even slightly vegetal wihout being overly so.
It all comes out in the flavor as well with a nice, almost but not quite peaty flavor coming out. A bit of smoke is the result, and it works. The pepper isn't just to blow the drinker away with heat: it builds up, keeping the flavor all the way while the heat radiates at the back of the throat. Otherwise, it's almost sweet in the malty aspect of it.
This beer is actually surprisingly dry at times, a medium-bodied brew with just a touch of crispness and a decent smoothness as well. People seem enemaored with the thickness of it, but nobody mentions that it actually tends to go a little thin here and there.
While I'd take a Stone Smoked w/ chipotle, this is a very good beer. If I could, this beer's flavor would be a 4.3 while Stone's would be a 4.7, but I an't do that. Oh well. Guess I'll just have a tasty porter with chipotle peppers.

330ml bottle.
This beer pours a solid black, no highlights to speak of, and I looked hard for them, with a teeming amount of spillage-baiting tight foamy milk chocolate brown head, which sinks away lazily, rendering a pleasantly consistent array of forest-scape lace around the glass.
It smells of acrid smoked wood, kind of medicinal, or fishy, maybe. Whew - lots of meaty character in this haze, soaked up a bit inadequately by the base chocolate and mildly caramelized malts. The taste is more straight ahead big chocolate and caramel malt, a bit of charred BBQ veggie skewer ash, some fairly strong bitter leafy and earthy hops, all blindsided by a subtly rising metallic capsicum heat.
The carbonation is quite sedate, few bubbles stepping out of line, the body a sturdy medium weight, the spicy edge taking a chunk out of an assumed smoothness. It finishes somewhat surprisingly sweet, as the heat takes a breather, letting the singed cocoa malt apply its salve.
It's a wee shame that the heat, enjoyable as it is, tends to obscure the interplay of the spiked malt, under-appreciated hop bitterness, and subtle singular smokiness. Oh well - it all seem to work, in that there is no shortage of aggressive flavour here.

The color is spot on but there isn't much head. A lot of roasted notes and smoke in the aroma. The flavor is like you'd expect. A velvety smooth smoked porter with chile heat at the end. It's a late heat that really lingers. I'd put the heat on a level close to a mild jalapeno.Certainly not overpowering. And, since it's a porter, if you search for some bittersweet chocolate, you'll find it. The smoke comes out more as it warms.
Really pleased with my first chile beer and I want more!

Chipotle Porter pours a very dark chocolate fudge color. It's opaque. No light cuts through at all. Looks sharp. A very dark, mocha colored head covers the top. Carbonation looks to be active, yielding a head that stands nearly three fingers tall. It takes quite a while to completely dissipate. Lacing was very stick and thick. Look excellent!
The nose is good. Chocolate malts are very prevalent. Doesn't smell very sweet. Smells more like cocoa and dark chocolate. There's a bit of a charred scent. It could be attributed to roasted coffee or espresso. Smells a bit smokier with each passing whiff. There is a bit of peppery, spicy scent, but it's secondary. IT works pretty well into the mix. Alcohol is buried and doesn't come through at all. Smells pretty good. Definitely interesting given the spicy notes.
The flavor is quite good, as well. The chocolate malt base is nice and sturdy. It's not sweet at all. Definitely cocoa and bittersweet dark chocolate. It's a tad smoky and has a very strong charred barley or burnt espresso flavor. It's a tad strong for my taste, but isn't too much of a distraction. There is a spicy flavor that's not bad at all. It adds some heat to the mix, but it's not so much that it's offensive. Frankly, it's an interesting complement to the other flavors. Alcohol is very light and goes mostly unnoticed. Finishes with a spicy, warm flavor that's a bit charred.
Chipotle Porter has a medium body. Carbonation seems active, but it feels nice and soft. It's not buzzy at all. It goes down smooth and easy. This 750 will go down without much trouble.
Mikkeller has a pretty nice beer in Chipotle Porter. The spicy side of it is definitely an interesting twist to its Porter roots. It works well though. If you can deal with the spicy warmth, you just might like it. It's definitely worth checking out, even if you're averse to spicy things.

Poured into a Delirium Tremens glass. Beautiful to watch form in the glass. Looked like thick chocolate in the pour. Black with two fingers of tan head. The head retreated just a little to some nice lacing. Simply amazing looking.
The chipotle is obvious on the nose, but not to the point of burning. Lots of malt, some burnt, underneath.
Decent porter flavors: soft malt, dark bread and burnt malt.
But the reason we all came here was for the chipotle; and it does not disappoint. Mellow at first, with a slow rising heat until it is minutes since the last drink and you can still feel the heat on your lips. For a pepper beer, top marks.
The body is lighter for a porter, fairly smooth and almost no carbonation.
Really good. A little more on the "porter" part of the beer would be nice, but overall a super job with the chipotle. Unique, interesting and most of all, good.

Theatre Memphis Presents Shakespeare's Comedy AS YOU LIKE IT, 2/14-3/2
As You Like It, a pastoral comedy by William Shakespeare, opens at Theatre Memphis in the Next Stage February 14 and continues through March 2, 2014. One of Shakespeare's most delightful heroines, Rosalind, flees her family's royal court to travel with her best friend and cousin to an enchanted forest. Along the way, she schemes and plots using disguises to find true love. It is a beloved, festive and free-spirited comedic delight that has endeared audiences over the ages.
Anita "Jo" Lenhart, Associate Professor of Performance with the University of Memphis Department of Theater and Dance, directs the production and has put together a well-seasoned cast. Miranda Fisher plays Rosalind and Xanthe Mumm portrays her cousin, Celia. The cast includes Greg Boller, Kevin Cochran, Stephen Huff, Roman Kyle, Davis Fancher, Gabe Beutel-Gunn, Jacob Winfield, Bennett Wood, Jennifer Chervenick, David, Hammons, Jillian Barron, Chris Cotton, Frank Whitfield and Zach Williams.
Lenhart brings a playful and original concept to As You Like It that she feels supports the themes in Shakespeare's original work. Combining a stylized set design by resident Theatre Memphis Scenic Designer Jack Yates with "period" costumes assembled by Theatre Memphis Costume Designer Paul McCrae, this production evokes a feel of the Dakota Territories of the American Frontier in 1887. The impressionistic environment serves as a palette for specific and clear costume choices to emphasize the masculine/feminine disguises that are basic to the story. Lenhart states, "If Shakespeare ever wrote a 'musical,' this is it! The talented musicians in our cast and I have created all new settings for Shakespeare's songs, drawing upon the folk and old time feel of 19th century American music. This, and the earthy dialects of the pastoral characters, is sure to delight those Memphis audience members new to the piece and bring a fresh lens to the story for those who already love this classic comedy."
"It is important to produce and perform Shakespeare in this day and age," says Theatre Memphis Executive Producer Debbie Litch. "Building on the history of such iconic theatre is how we keep the subject fresh ... new interpretations of classic literature. We are fortunate to have someone like Jo to have such a vision and bring it to our patrons.

PEORIA, Ill. -- Plenty of shoppers right here in Central Illinois were fighting the crowds Saturday as they finish up, or just begin their holiday shopping.
Saturday was known to retailers as Super Saturday, and the second biggest shopping day of the year.
Shoppers flooded Northwoods Mall for Super Saturday trying to find those last minute gifts.
"Today I am shopping for my husband some ties and at justice for my daughter," said shopper Holly Tate Jones. Waiting til the last minute means you have to deal with the crowds.
"This is the only day I could get it done and that's why. Otherwise I would choose not to be out in this craziness," Jones added.
Store workers were very prepared for the shoppers. JC Penney store leader Richard Hudson says they increase inventory as early as October.
"Christmas is the time when we make most of our money so it's very important to the industry." "the ten days before Christmas are always as busy as all get out," Hudson said.
On days like these retailers expect a lot of their employees.
"I know I have to stay late til 1 a.m.," said Quanisha Thomas, JC Penney Store Associate. But Hudson says this is what holiday shopping is all about.
"It's a lot of fun when it goes by really quick if your working and it's a lot of fun for the customers too you know it's what you think about when you think about Christmas shopping."

A UCLA economic forecast release today shows California
making a strong recovery, while the U.S. growth is lackluster.
The report states that a stronger growth in the nation's
gross domestic product will be necessary to bring the recovery, post-Great
Recession, on par with previous recoveries.
One of the report's authors calls the nation's growth
flat-out "bad."
But California's economic picture is brighter, and part of
that is its jobs growth.
One example: Apple announced plans to increase its Silicon
Valley workforce by 50 percent over the next three years.

If you don't ride year-round, you know the outcome of those first rides in the saddle as summer approaches. Ouch: lower back and glute pain, hamstring, hip flexors and quad aches. How do you lesson the strain in these first rides? There are some simple answers that require a stability ball, some floor space and, most importantly, your motivation.
Bicycling Magazine offers up some stellar advice and it starts at the core—your core.
Try this one: Lie with the middle of your back on the stability ball with knees bent 90 degrees and feet flat on floor. Place hands behind head (don't pull on neck). Squeeze belly button toward the spine, lift upper back off the ball. With your shoulders off of the ball, make a circular motion with your torso while applying pressure with lower back to ball through motion. Clockwise 15 ovals, counterclockwise 15 ovals. Works the transverse abdominus (inner abs), stabilizes lower back, glutes, hamstrings and hip flexors.
"Why It Works: Despite the straightforward motion of the bike, your body moves in three directions: forward as you head down the road, vertically as your legs pedal up and down, and laterally as your hips and upper body rock side to side," writes Bicycling author Dimity McDowell.

A children's film that delights young and old generations alike, Hugo weaves together the themes of loss, love, meaning and purpose. Great storytelling coupled with 3D technology makes this film a true wonder.
Home Theater Forum's Neil Middlemiss reviewed the Blu-ray release and had these thoughts:
With deep blacks, vibrant golds and lighter hues amongst the shadowy world behind the train station walls, the sparkling view of Paris at night, and the authentic look and feel of 1930's France, Hugo is glorious on Blu-ray.
The bustle of the busy train station, with footsteps, the murmur of traveler's conversations and the echoes produced in the cavernous building come alive throughout the English DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 channel option.

A bail hearing for Michael Buck, scheduled for 9:30 a.m. on Monday in Otsego County Court, was not held after Buck and his attorney decided not to ask for bail at this time.
"We reserved our right to make an application in the future," said Thomas Hegeman, Buck's court-appointed attorney.
Hegeman's practice is in Oneonta.
Buck is currently scheduled to appear in court Nov. 4.
Buck, 33, is accused of shooting his father, Joseph Buck, 64, in the early hours of Sept. 21 in the Middlefield house they shared. Michael Buck was shot in the right cheek during the incident, and police said two handguns were involved.
Buck is being charged with second-degree murder, first-degree assault and first-degree criminal use of a firearm. If convicted, he could face up to 25 years to life in prison.
Another involved party interviewed by the police at Buck's residence after the shooting took place has not yet been identified.

WINONA, Minn. (KTTC) -- A well-known Coca-Cola bottle has reached the end of the line.
Winona Coca-Cola Bottling filled the last 6.5-ounce returnable glass bottle in the country.
The bottle will go to the World Coca-Cola Museum in Atlanta, GA.
The Winona plant has been bottling Coke products for 80 years. 14 full-time employees work there and all of them will keep their jobs.
General manager LeRoy Telstad started working at the company in 1983.
"One of my major accomplishments was to learn enough from my father-in-law and it was his father-in-law that built the place to be able to continue this bottling tradition as long as we could," Telstad said.
Winona Coca-Cola Bottling decided to stop filling the bottles because of business costs.
The last 6,000 bottles will be sold in the Winona area to help pay for improvements to a city bike path.

Breaking: Tim Brewster to join the Mississippi State coaching staff
|Written by Pete Roussel
Posted by: Pete Roussel on August 23, 2012
Sources have confirmed with CoachingSearch.com that former Minnesota head coach Tim Brewster (51) has accepted the wide receivers job at Mississippi State. Dan Mullen interviewed Brewster on Wednesday morning in Starkville.
Brewster, who recently signed with CBS Sports to serve as a college football game analyst, replaces Angelo Mirando who resigned on Sunday afternoon for unforeseen personal reasons.
Brewster was 15-30 in his career at Minnesota, but led the Gophers to the Insight Bowl in 2007 and 2008.
His career includes assistant coaching stints at North Carolina (1988-97), Texas (1998-2001), San Diego Chargers (2002 - 2004), and Denver Broncos (2005 - 2006). Brewster worked alongside Mike Shanahan in Denver and Marty Schottenheimer in San Diego.
Based on my recent observation, Brewster is walking into a pretty darn good situation.
The Mississippi State offensive staff includes Les Koenning Jr., Greg Knox, John Hevesy, and Scott Sallach.
The Bulldogs open the season against Jackson State. The next three games are against Auburn, at Troy, and South Alabama.

Both side can then just claim to do what they do out of "principle" to placate to their bases. Quite reminiscent of the trench warfare of WWI which resulted in countless lives lost for little more than a stalemate. The saying that "War is politics with bloodshed, and politics is war without bloodshed," is quite apt here because of how polarized it has become.
This sums up most of my sentiments, especially the closing statements.
I don't entirely disagree with you, I think the polarisation in reality isn't going to go away but intransigence on both sides ultimately isn't going to fix the external systemic issues alluded to elsewhere that are beyond the traditional stances of both sides. That's how it will need to be overcome unless the people give one side a clear mandate.
Which, they haven't done here.
I tend to not believe so many voted for Obama because they ALL thought he was doing so great (some will of course, as well as those who will think he's been disastrous) but I wonder if enough simply felt that circumstances even he couldn't fully control in the last few years meant they were willing to give him that second term to try and deliver. There's obviously a lot of thoughts as to why things went as they did but it's probably more complex than they think he's great because of the many reasons why one individual may have voted they way they did. For instance, one pundit I watched pointed out the claim that in the US and for women voters especially, abortion is still one of the main topics they consider important. Issues like that remain fundamental for a section of the voting group. So, a candidate's stance there could sway them in the 'lesser of two evil's' direction. That is their right as individual voters to prioritise the issues that matter to them of course. But it's a sign that in election terms there's obviously a lot of issues fight for control. I don't know if it's correct but some claims from exit polling were supposed to have suggested that while the economy was the biggest issue singularly, the deficit issue was lower down their list of concerns.
It all gets quite fascinating and easy to ramble over though. Anyways, it's over now until the midterms. I've heard some fairly mixed things about 'Newsroom' though I haven't seen any episodes in full.
