Nature's Answer - Saint John's Wort Young Flowering Tops Alcohol Free - 1 oz.
Nature's answer alcohol-free extracts are produced using alcohol, water and natural extractants. All alcohol and extractants are then removed through Nature's Answer cold Bio-chelated proprietary extraction process, yielding a Holistically Balanced standardized extract. Liquid extract are absorbed faster than tablets or capsules, and are more potent than tinctures. holistically Balanced guarantees that the constituents of the extract are in the same synergistic ratios as in the plant.
Parts used and where grownSt. John's wort is found in Europe and the United States. It is especially abundant in northern California and southern Oregon. The above-ground (aerial) parts of the plant are gathered during the flowering season.
Historical or traditional use (may or may not be supported by scientific studies)In ancient Greece, St. John's wort was used to treat many ailments, including sciatica and poisonous reptile bites. In Europe, St. John's wort was used by herbalists for the topical treatment of wounds and burns. It is also a folk remedy for kidney and lung ailments as well as for depression.
Active constituentsThe major constituents in St. John's wort include hypericin and other dianthrones, flavonoids, xanthones, and hyperforin. While it was previously thought the antidepressant actions of St. John's wort were due to hypericin and the inhibition of the enzyme monoamine oxidase,current research has challenged this belief, focusing on other constituents, such as hyperforin, and flavonoids. Test tube studies suggest that St. John's wort extracts may exert their antidepressant actions by inhibiting the reuptake of the neurotransmitters serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine.This action is possibly due to the constituent hyperforin. St. John's wort is able to act as an antidepressant, by making more of these neurotransmitters available to the brain
What is the benefit of using an alcohol-free extract?Firstly, many people simply do not like to use alcohol as they strive towards healthier living. Others may not use alcohol for religious reasons, because they are in recovery or are pregnant or nursing. Furthermore, alcohol is not for children. These products address all those concerns. Secondly, and most importantly, alcohol-free extracts allow you to taste the plant, not the alcohol ! This taste is extremely important in that it gets your body ready to receive the gifts that the plant has to offer. Tasting the herb is part of the overall herbal experience and healing process. Alcohol-free extracts enable you to truly appreciate all of the plant's gifts.
Which is a better form of taking herbs, liquid or capsules?Herbs can be used in both the liquid and capsule form depending on your personal preference. Liquids are more easily absorbed and are perfect for people who have trouble swallowing pills, such as children and the elderly. Unlike other liquid brands, Nature's Answer? is alcohol free or very low in alcohol (12-14%). Capsules may be preferable because using them avoids the bitter and unpleasant taste of some herbs, and they can be packed in a pill case for ease of dosing, convenient for the supplement user on the go.

The Bimini Twist is used to create a loop in the end of the fishing line. The doubled line provides insurance against break-offs caused by the line repeatedly passing over the upper rod guides when casting or fighting a fish close to the boat. It also protects against abrasion caused by contact with rocks, weeds, roots, pilings, shells or the fish's body. The Bimini is fairly complicated and tricky to tie, but it delivers 100 percent of the line's breaking strength.
The Bimini Twist is often used in inshore fishing to create a section of double line that guards against break-offs, yet won't interfere with casting and will pass easily through the rod guides when fighting a fish in close. The Bimini loop can be tied directly to the eye of a hook or lure, or connected to a heavier mono or wire "shock leader" via an Albright knot to form a wind-on leader system.
1. Double the end of the fishing line to form a long loop. Placing the end of the loop over one hand and holding the two strands of line in the other, make 20 twists in the loop by rotating your hand.
2. Place the loop around some type of stationary object (many people use their knee or foot) while maintaining tension on the line at all times to prevent the twists from unraveling.
3. Here's where it gets a little tricky. Hook the index finger of one hand inside the loop and slide it upward to tighten the twists (B). Be sure to maintain tension on all strands of line during this step. As the twists tighten, hold the tag end of the double line at a 90-degree angle to the standing section and allow the line to roll down over the twists (A). These outer wraps should be very close together and completely cover the twists.
4. Keeping your index finger inside the Bimini loop, (A) make a half hitch around one leg of the loop to secure the wraps of the Bimini (B). You can now release tension on the line without the wraps unraveling.
5. To complete the knot, form a semi-circle with the tag end and make five wraps around the two "legs" of the Bimini loop, passing the tag through the semi-circle with each wrap. Moisten the knot and pull on the tag to seat the knot. Use pliers if necessary.
6. Trim the tag and you're done.

Numbered Cub
I hate to demonstrate my ignorance, but what does the term "numbered Cub" mean? I have seen reference to it on several posts. Thanks.
Since retirement, the things I miss most are the holidays!
Re: Numbered Cub
Those are Cubs whose days are numbered and are destined to be parted out.
No, I'm only kidding, it refers to the Lo-Boys such as the 154, 185 etc.
It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.

Re: Numbered Cub
Cadet on steroids is a good answer! The one good thing about them is they have a higher HP Cub engine (not sure all of them do).
A Lo Boy is just a Cub with the finals tweaked forward and short front spindles....... despite what some people think, they are harder to get on and off than a Cub. And smaller than a flag!

Re: Numbered Cub
The little clutch with its sloppy fittin splines should be insentive enough NOT to abuse them!---try to plow snow/till/plow/etc! ---they only mow! thanks; sonny
Re: Numbered Cub
They do have a few interesting features that the Cub does not:
1. Live PTO. This is achieved by using pulleys located between the flywheel and clutch to belt-drive a jackshaft to the PTO in back. When the belts go, the tractor needs to be split to replace them.
2. Available creeper gear. This allows the tractor to operate a snowblower or rototiller where an offset Cub cannot.
They have starter-generators like Cub Cadets too. The generator is also the starter.
Not I said "interesting features" not "improvements." While they're interesting features, they are also those so-called "weak points" that people always ask about when looking at tractors.
Re: Numbered Cub
YEP! I've called them that too.

"Loved this card! We used a family pic from the Magic Kingdom at Disney World. The whimsical lettering looked great with the pic."
"This card prints exactly as shown on high quality card stock. We sent around 100 cards + posted the card on social media. Overwhelming response on how much they loved it. Our order arrived was placed on Sunday evening about 10pm, and it was on our door step Wednesday of that same week. The chalk like writing/font is perfect for anyone, but especially me (teacher). :)"
"Thank you very much for doing a fantastic job on my cards. They turned out great and the customer service was top notch from beginning to end."
"I really loved this card. I opted for using white text on an "ocean/beach colored" image and it is beautiful. The white could be a tad hard to read for some but it is very soft and pretty!"
"I was impressed with the heavy weight of this card-nothing flimsy here! The print quality was great too, the card looked just like it did online when I made it. Thanks!"

AUGUSTA — The Maine House has approved a bill to expand the state's Medicaid program — MaineCare — to include about 70,000 more people, a key component of the national Affordable Care Act.
The expansion would increase eligibility to childless adults who earn less than 133 percent of the federal poverty guideline — just over $15,000 a year.
Representatives voted 89-51 in favor of the bill Monday, adding changes to address worries of Republicans who've opposed expansion. The amended version says the state can opt out of the Medicaid expansion if the federal government doesn't match its share of the cost as promised.
Still, only five Republicans joined Democrats in supporting the measure Monday with several saying they wanted a vote on a bill that pays off the state's debt to 39 hospitals.
The state's share of that debt, about $186 million, would pull down federal matching funds for a total of nearly $500 million.
Gov. Paul LePage has made paying the debt a priority for the current lawmaking session but recently vetoed a measure that would have paid the debt and expanded MaineCare. LePage and Republican leaders in the Legislature have said the two issues should not be linked. But Democratic leaders have said the issues are related and that paying off the debt without covering more low-income Mainers with health insurance is "leaving the job half done."
"I understand Gov. LePage's position in trying to get the best deal for Maine," Rep. Jarrod Crockett, R-Bethel, said. "That being said, it's been made clear to me my constituents are in need and it's hard to do nothing when there are some funds available to do something."
The federal government has confirmed it will pay 100 percent of the cost of expansion for the three calendar years starting in 2014, and gradually reduce that match to 90 percent by 2020. Republicans said Monday even paying only 10 percent of the expansion will cost taxpayers $400 million in the seven years after the reductions from 100 percent federal funding.
Keschel said larger and larger portions of the state's budget are being consumed by MaineCare and other Department of Health and Human Services program expansions. Keschel, a former state employee, said the state hasn't been able to give state workers a pay increase in four years and also has cut retirement and health benefits.
"Why?" Keschel asked Monday after the vote. He said MaineCare and other DHHS programs were expanding, consuming those resources. MaineCare alone has grown by $100 million a year, averaged over the decade, Keschel said. He said DHHS and the Department of Education combined used to account for about 75 percent of the state budget but now those agencies consume 83 percent.
"People say we've got to help the people, which I agree with," Keschel said. "But I think it's got to be targeted for the most vulnerable."
Republicans have said before expanding MaineCare for childless adults the state needs to take care of a backlogged waiting list of about 3,100 people that includes some elderly and disabled individuals.
The issue of expanding Medicaid has torn at GOP caucuses across the nation as several Republican governors, including those in Florida, New Jersey, Arizona and Michigan, have supported the expansion over the concerns of Republican legislators worried the states and the nation can't afford it.

GraphicsBuilder Tutorial I: Shapes
Drawing graphics with Java2D has never been an easy task, if it was we have probably seen by now a Flex killer app in Java (the fact that applets have a really bad press also contributed to not having that app). Let me introduce you to GraphicsBuilder, a Groovy builder for Java2D, while it alone is not the killer app, it surely can help you build one with less effort than doing it with straight Java.
If you are still wondering what is Groovy and what is its relation to Java, I recommend you take a look at From Java to Groovy in a few easy steps and other articles you may find in this site. Back already? let's continue with the topic at hand. GraphicsBuilder is a builder for Java2D, which means that every node in the builder represents an action that will affect a Graphics2D object, the same type of object Swing uses to draw components on the screen. To get you started you should have Groovy installed in your computer as well as the latest GraphicsBuilder distribution (0.4.5 at the time of this writing), if you are on windows using the installer makes it pretty trivial as graphicsbuilder comes bundled with it.
If you have played around with Groovy for a while you surely have come across with a handy tool named groovyConsole, a visual shell that evaluates groovy scripts, well GraphicsBuilder includes a similar tool named graphicsPad that will let you write and run groovy scripts for drawings. All of the code samples you will see on this tutorial can be executed on graphicsPad, the tool also has an option to export your scripts into standalone scripts, which can be run from the command line or with groovyConsole itself.
Basic Shapes
Java2D provides a small set of basic shapes which mostJava based graphic tools support, GraphicsBuilder does the same, the following image shows a sample of those shapes
Let's see, we have rectangles (angular and rounded), circles, ellipses, arcs, polygons and paths. Arcs may have 3 different closing modes and paths may have 2 different winding values, that is why the last star has a hole in the middle. Now let's take a look at the code that produced this image
rect( x: 10, y: 10, width: 50, height: 50, borderColor: 'black', fill:'red' )
rect( x: 70, y: 10, width: 50, height: 50, arcWidth: 20, arcHeight: 20,
borderColor: 'black', fill:'orange' )
circle( cx: 155, cy: 35, radius: 25, borderColor: 'black', fill: 'darkGreen' )
ellipse( cx: 225, cy: 35, radiusx: 35, radiusy: 25, borderColor: 'black', fill: 'blue' )
arc( x: -40, y: 70, width: 100, height: 100, start: 0, extent: 90,
borderColor: 'black', fill: 'cyan', close: 'pie' )
arc( x: 20, y: 70, width: 100, height: 100, start: 0, extent: 90,
borderColor: 'black', fill: 'magenta', close: 'chord' )
arc( x: 80, y: 70, width: 100, height: 100, start: 0, extent: 90,
borderColor: 'black', fill: 'yellow', close: 'open' )

You will notice that all shapes share similar properties, like borderColor and fill, that colors are defined as strings (but there are more powerful ways to get a custom color, we will see that on a later tutorial) following the css2 color set. The most complex shape so far is path because each segment must be constructed with a path operation, all path operations are defined in GeneralPath/Path2D so their names are pretty straightforward.
Extended Path
GraphicsBuilder supports an extended version of path, provided by Batik project (graphicsbuilder-ext-svg and batik libraries are required in the classpath), the main difference is that xpath has an xarcTo operation capable of drawing arcs as opposed to curves only.
Note that you can not mix path and xpath operations in the same path.
xpath( borderColor: 'darkRed', fill: 'red', borderWidth: 4 ){
xmoveTo( x: 10, y: 10 )
xhline( x: 160 )
xvline( y: 60 )
xarcTo( x: 10, y: 60, rx: 150, ry: 150, angle: 90, sweep: true, largeArc: false )
xpath( borderColor: 'darkRed', fill: 'red', borderWidth: 4 ){

Hi Andres,
How does this relate to https://scenegraph.dev.java.net/ ?
I'm assuming that with the Groovy graphics builder, you would need to use the builder on every UI repaint to completely repaint the image. The scene graph API aims to create shapes that stay defined in memory between repaints, a bit like SVG without the XML, so with the SGAPI you define your circle once then have the choice of manipulating it through time.
Other questions: if not SGAPI-compatible, is there clipping support for the groovy graphics (i.e.: ways of making it easier to deal with) so that you don't waste time drawing shapes outside of the painting area?
Mahesh Kumar Nayak replied on Fri, 2011/05/20 - 3:48pm
I do complite agree with Christopher.
Andres Almiray replied on Mon, 2008/02/04 - 12:44pm in response to: Christopher Brown
Chris, GraphicsBuilder and SceneGraph share many traits but they are essentially two different and unrelated implementations. When I saw the announcement of SceneGraph my first reaction was to rework GraphicsBuilder to support it but because their API is still in flux I refrained to do so. Perhaps when their API goes to 1.0 GraphicsBuilder will be able to export/import SGAPI code, that would be great.
On the UI repaint, it depends on what you are trying to accomplish, GB includes a basic component where you can place your drawings: GraphicsPanel. This component is smart enough to redraw whenever it needs to, and only those places that have actually changed, which means it honors the clip. All shapes take into consideration the curret clip, no need to waste cycles, there is also an option to specify custom clips with the clip() node. You can also render to images directly and use your own cache mechanism.
GB can also reuse shape definitions, either with a normal Groovy variable or with an special 'asShape' property which I didn't show in this tutorial, but now that the topic has surfaced I will make sure it is included in the next part.
If you care to know more about GraphicsBuilder before I finish the other parts of the tutorial, please visit the project's site, you will also find more info at my blog, you'll see that GB has more to offer that what has been shown so far here.
Andres Almiray replied on Mon, 2008/02/04 - 12:48pm in response to: Christopher Brown
You may also find this link useful, the images are snapshots of GraphicsPanel in action, a custom clip has been set (so that the radial lines do not extend beyond the rounded rectangle), you will also see other options as paints (and multipaints, a unique feature so far).

GLENS FALLS, N.Y. - In a matter of hours, Phish fans will take over the Glens Falls Civic Center for a one-night show on Wednesday.
The jam band will return to Glens Falls Civic Center for the first time in nearly two decades on Wednesday night. And while the locals may be bracing themselves for a flood of traffic, business owners in Glens Falls are welcoming music fans with open arms.
The concert is expected to bring 7,000 people to downtown Glens Falls.
Restaurants and bars are preparing for the crowd, as are the police. Police Chief William Valenza for the Glens Falls Police Department tells NEWS10 ABC they will have plenty of officers on hand to handle the crowds.
The last time Phish was in town, they played at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center in early July. Though the musical performances themselves received positive reviews and drew huge crowds, there were also dozens of drug arrests and even one deadly drug overdose.
"Everything is right here. We have a great fire department, great paramedics and staff at the Civic Center," said Chief Valenza. "Glens Falls Hospital is a wonderful facility. So, I think we are well prepared for it.
The concert is also seen as a boost for the Civic Center itself; as the venue announced it is losing its AHL hockey team, the Adirondack Phantoms.
The show is scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, October 23. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m.

'Bedlam' inside Shirley Towers the night firefighters Alan Bannon and James Shears died
3:01pm Friday 22nd June 2012 in News By Jon Reeve, Education Reporter
A FIREFIGHTER badly hurt in the terror blaze that killed two colleagues has described the "bedlam" inside the high-rise flat.
Liam Ryan told Southampton Coroner's Court he "lost his mind" as extreme heat engulfed the home in Shirley Towers.
He was one of four firefighters sent inside flat 72 to find and tackle the blaze on April 6, 2010.
Mr Ryan had to be rescued from the burning flat by Redbridge Hill fire station colleague Keith Holland after temperatures suddenly rose massively.
St Mary's Red Watch crew members Alan Bannon and Jim Shears, who had followed behind the other two firefighters, were overcome by the extreme heat and lost their lives.
Despite having regularly visited relatives who lived in the tower block, Mr Ryan said the high temperatures and thick smoke had left him so disorientated he had no idea how to get out of the flat, saying he had essentially "lost his mind" as he tried to protect his badly burned hands.
Giving evidence at Mr Bannon and Mr Shears' inquest today, Mr Ryan said the trouble started after he and Mr Holland had checked the upstairs bedrooms.
He said: "We were just basically telling them to go down and that's when it all went wrong.
"I was on the landing when it first happened. Then I knew we had to get out.
"Alan and Jim were obviously before us. We were just shouting 'get out, get out'."
The court heard the stairwell swiftly became "a corridor of heat".
Mr Ryan said: "I had been on hot jobs before, but the rapid escalation in heat that we had that night, I've never had that."
The inquest earlier heard how there was a delay getting water to the ninth floor flat where Mr Bannon, of Bitterne, Southampton, and Mr Shears, of Poole, died.

O'Shea wary of German talent (From The Bolton News)

O'Shea wary of German talent
7:20am Friday 12th October 2012 in National Sport News © Press Association 2014
Republic of Ireland defender John O'Shea has warned his team-mates they will need to stop more than just Mesut Ozil if they are to take anything from Friday night's World Cup qualifier against Germany.
Much of the debate in Ireland this week has surrounded manager Giovanni Trapattoni's plan to deal with the mercurial Ozil, with the Italian having hinted he may consider asking one of his midfielders to take on the "impossible" task of man-marking him.
However, O'Shea knows how dangerous it could be to concentrate on one man, and said: "He is a fantastic player, but if we focus our attention too much on one of Germany's players, they have plenty of others with the quality to punish you."
He went on: "I played against [Lukas] Podolski in the first game of the [Barclays Premier League] season, so I am well aware of his qualities.
"But if I was to go through the whole team, I would be here for quite a while talking about their quality and ability. We have to be on guard for all the German players."
The Germans arrived in Dublin hot favourites to maintain their 100 per cent start to the campaign and secure automatic qualification from Group C.
Ireland's hopes of halting that procession have been dealt a succession of blows to an injury crisis which has robbed Trapattoni of defenders Richard Dunne and Sean St Ledger, midfielders Glenn Whelan and James McClean and strikers Kevin Doyle and Robbie Keane.
However, O'Shea insists a much-changed side - Seamus Coleman will make his first competitive start at right-back and there are rare opportunities in midfield for James McCarthy and Keith Fahey - can still upset the odds.
Asked if he would settle for a draw, the Sunderland defender said: "If we are going into a home game against anybody, we are confident we can win. But they are the second-ranked team in the world and we will see how the game goes.
"Sometimes when you get a draw, you are delighted, like when you score the equaliser in the last minute. On the other hand, if you score the first goal and concede in the last minute, then you are not very happy. We will wait and see, but obviously we want to win and we know how tough that will be."

Poured a dark brown with tan foam and lace on the side of the glass. The smell of roasted malts with a hint of smoke. The flavor was had a bitter, bitter taste of over roasted malts. Just like burnt coffee taste. The mouthfeel was bitter with no pleasant flavor on the palate. This was so much a dissapointment for this stout.

Pours dark brown, almost black and brown on the edges, with a small mocha head that dissipated quickly to leave some lacing.
Smell is roasted malt, dark chocolate and dark fruit, and some booze. Smell is great.
Taste is overly bitter chocolate and roasted malt. There is some hop in there, but this is a really one dimensional flavor overall.
The beer is thin, and not much body. The low carbonation leave gives you and alcoholic bite that is unappealing.
I liked the 500ml size, but this was kind of boring. The smell was great, and I had high hopes, but that was the best part of the beer. If only it had it lived up to the aroma.

Poured from a 22oz bottle into a pint glass:
A: Dark brown with reddish hues. No head nor lacing. A few copper bubbles dance pitifully on the surface.
S: Deep, dark chocolate. Sweet. Toasted malts, and a kind of smokey smell. Probably the best quality of this beer.
T: Heavy dark chocolate. Ends bitter, tastes boozy throughout the experience.
M: Very carbonated, with a lighter body. Crisp, if that makes sense. This doesn't feel right in my mouth at all.
O: I was disappointed in this one. The smell had hints of a good experience, but it fell short overall.

Look: Black and totally opaque with a good 1/2 inch head and above average retention
Smell: Roasted malt and dark chocolate
Taste: A bit of the same from the nose but it has a bit of oxidation and metallic notes and finishes with a rough roasted malt character and some ash
Mouthfeel: Medium body and low carbonation
Overall: This is truly a waste of money and should be avoided

Very dark brown colored beer with net to no head.
Smell is very strong patent malt. Smells bittersweet with chocolate, coffee and faint smoke. Cake batter malt aroma. No real hop scent.
Starts out neutral in sweetness and lots of patent malt and not much else. And that is about it for the flavor, never really develops and seems thin in the mouth.
Mouthfeel is decidedly thin.
Overall not impressed or entertained either. Pretty much what can minimally called a Stout. Highly disappointing.

Pours out a nice and dark with very minimal head. The smell is not to strong but what I can smell seems a little on the bitter side of sweet. This beer has flavor throughout. I can really taste the chocolate. It reminds me of 70% dark cacao flavor especially on the back end. The back end really feels like I had just at a piece of chocolate because it has the same lingering bitterness. This has a very nice amount of carbonation that bites the tongue.
Overall I like this brew. I don't know why it got such low reviews. I think it's a damn decent chocolate beer. The label is pretty cool. They used design elements from old dollar bills.

Appearance: Pours a cocoa brown color with a modest head; leaves a squiggle or two behind
Smell: Burnt toast and cocoa
Taste: Burnt toast, up front, with a chocolate addition that adds a phenolic character by mid-palate; after the swallow, the chocolate flavor returns to prominance but there is a burnt, phenolic off flavor that disturbs the finish
Mouthfeel: Light to medium body with moderate carbonation
Overall: Nice label - thought this was going to be something special; my mistake

Poured from 500ml bottle into an Old Raspy pint glass. Front label states 'Irondale Brewery'...
A - Pours black with a two finger light brown head on fairly aggressive pour. Head dissipates rather quick, but here is some slippery lacing to be had...
S - Dark roasted malts, black coffee, and dark chocolate...
T - Lots of bitter cocoa notes. A little over the top. Also pick up some black roasted cofee and dark roasted malts. Ends with some lingering cocoa and a good dose of bitter hops. Finish is dry. Abv is well hidden...
M - Pretty light. On the lower side of medium bodied with a moderate amount of carbonation and a dry finish...
O - Price/taste ratio is way out of whack here. I paid 7 dollars for a 500ml bottle. Hermitage needs to reassess their product, and adjust the price accordingly. If this brew was half the price I would have given it a higher overall score. Glad I got a chance to try this, but not something that I will be buying again in the near future...

From 06/04/11 notes. Bottled shared by BigSexy410; thanks man. Poured into a tulip.
a - Pours a dark brown color with a few light tan bubbles of head and moderate carbonation evident.
s - Smells of roasted malts, chocolate, and a little bit of sweet sugar or fruit. I'm also getting something that isn't too enjoyable, making me think something is slight off. It's like a little bit of wet dog. Not that great.
t - Taste is a definite step up from the nose, but I'm still not crazy about it. tastes of roasted malts, and very light chocolate. Nothing bad or offensive about it, but just kind of roasted malts.
m - Body is very watery, with a light feel and low carbonation. Would have liked a thicker body and a bit more carbonation.
o - Overall not that great of a stout. The taste is fine/average, with roasted malts being mostly it, but the body was a bit too thin and the nose had something weird to it in my opinion. Wouldn't seek out again.

Ah, Hermitage. I feel a connection with you because I feel a connection with San Jose. Some day, you will make me a truly good beer. Is this the one?
Pours a dark and relatively opaque brown-black with a frothy and quite consistent head of ochre brown. Lacing is sheeting and pleasant. Head collapses after a while, and the body is very thin—especially for a beer weighing in at 8% ABV, but it looks decent enough.
Nose is roasty and pleasant, giving a good dash of dry and dusty cocoa to the underlying characters of roasted barley and bitter charred grain. Not particularly sweet overall, but with the potential for sweetness, like a good espresso. Not bad at all.
Taste is rather thin, in fact disappointingly so, but with a pleasant lilting roasted dryness that makes a drinkable dose out of a rather simple palate. Roasted grain on the front, with a slight cocoa semi-sweetness mid palate. Back is very dry, and the feel is woefully thin, giving little complexity or basis on the finish.
I'm afraid that Hermitage are yet to wow me, yet again, but this beer is not unpleasant. It's generally tasty, well put together and drinkable. Sure, it's missing depth, complexity and character, but it's relatively easy to drink, and is surprisingly supple for a beer weighing in at 8% ABV.
It's certainly something I'd consider picking up again. I'm surprised at how low it's rating is.

1.25/5 rDev -56.6%
Source/Serving: 16oz bottle, no expiration date
S: Overwhelmingly tangy with a light coffee/cocoa nib character. The tangy red grape is dominant and quite unpleasant.
T: Sweet and tangy up front that covers over any malt character with a syrupy blandness. Once the malts do break from under the cover they are pleasant with a dry chocolate graininess and moderate bitterness. Clean flavors, though without much depth or complexity, but they only show up 2/3 of the way through the sip. In the finish the sweet/tang returns obliterating any redeeming quality.
Notes: If I didn't have friends over it would have been a drain pour. My darn phone didn't get good reception in the Bevmo else I would have read the reviews and never touched this stuff given my previous experience with Hermitage. This is my last Hermitage brew. Ever. They are not even just average, rather bad across the board and this one isn't even cheap.

Ahh crap...I didn't realize this was a Hermitage beer....Hopefully they're contract brewing the stuff and not just slapping an obfuscatory label on a bottle filled with crap swill...
The basics: A whopping $8.99/500ml bottle (OUCH! Take that knife outta my back!) and 8% ABV...
Pours a nice, dense near-to-opaque blackish-brownish with only a hint of mahogany at the edges when held to the light. A short, soapy tan head tops it off, with decent lacing.
Aroma has a sort of "sour milk" character to it. I hope that's not indicative of a crappy beer, but I'm thinking maybe so. That scent colors the whole aroma profile, such that it all has this unpleasant character to it. I get some roasty-roast-o malt components, but they're really masked by the horrible sour milk...
Flavor is uber-tangy. Almost TOO tangy. And the sour milk is definitely there. It's like bad cream...This is painfully unpleasant. There is a certain effervescent character to the carbonation, too. Almost like it's not naturally carbonated. The chocolate promsied, bespoken of by the label, is hardly noticeable amid the squall of bad flavors here. The finish is quite dry and carries, finally, some of the better characteristics of this beer: roasted chocolate malt and a touch of hops. This is way too expensive for what it is: a run of the mill, to poor, stout that might even be somehow spoiled, if that's possible. Avoid...
What I like most: Not a whole lot, to be honest.
What I like least: The sour milk characteristics, for certain, but none of it is very good.
Verdict: Essentially crap, and this, unfortunately, happens to be Hermitage's M.O. Avoid like the sweating sickness...

A = Dark brown / black in the glass, poured with a frothy head that dissipated after a minute or so.
S = rich and "chocolatey" (not 'sweet' though) - with plenty of floral notes and a powerful roasted aroma.
T = mild acidity on my palate it seems. mild bitterness. a few roasted coffee notes, but not the "double chocolate" that I would expect. I am not impressed.
M = medium resinous mouthfeel, quickly fades, low carbonation.
D = at over $9.00 per pint bottle (at Bevmo), I will not be having a stout like this anytime soon. For the price, you could get a better flavor from another stout that would be comparable if not better than this offering.

A man is dead after he ran across Interstate 94 and was hit by a car early Sunday on the Far South Side, police said.
About 3 a.m., a 36-year-old man was heading north on I-94 in a 2007 Ford Taurus when a 22-year-old man ran across the roadway near 120th Street and was hit, Illinois State Police said in a statement.
The 22-year-old later died, police said. The Cook County Medical Examiner's office could not immediately confirm the death.
The far right two lanes on northbound I-94 were closed as of 5:20 a.m. while police investigated. The far left lane was still open to traffic, police said.

COVINA - A Covina man died and two of his family members were arrested Tuesday after what they claimed was an accidental shooting, officials said.
Eliazar Mejia, 21, died at the scene of the shooting, which was reported just before 4:15 p.m. in the 300 block of N. Prospero Drive, Los Angeles County Department of Coroner Assistant Chief of Operations Ed Winter said.
His brother, 25-year-old Oswaldo Cibrian of Covina, and his cousin, 19-year-old Juan Vasquez of Oregon, were arrested on suspicion of murder, Covina police Sgt. Ray Marquez said.
One of them called police to report accidentally shooting a man, Sgt. Gregg Peterson said.
When officers arrived, they found Mejia fatally wounded in an apartment, along with Cibrian and Vasquez, he said. Mejia was pronounced dead at the scene, where a handgun was recovered.
Cibrian and Vasquez told the investigators that Mejia was shot while the men, who were believed to have been drinking, were looking at the gun and "passing the weapon from one person to another," Marquez said.
According to the brother and cousin, "The weapon accidentally discharged and obviously struck the victim," Marquez said. The 21-year-old man was struck in the face.
Detectives awaited the results of gunshot residue tests to determine who was holding the gun when it discharged, Marquez said.
Investigators did not find any immediate evidence that the shooting occurred out of anger or malice, however they could not rule it out, Peterson said.
"There's still some investigation as to whether this truly was an accident," Marquez said.
Though booked on suspicion of murder, when Cibrian and Vasquez appear for a scheduled arraignment in Pomona Superior Court Thursday, prosecutors may elect to file lesser charges, such as manslaughter, officials said.
Even if the investigation finds the shooting was, in fact, an accident, it still appeared to involve dangerously irresponsible behavior, Marquez said.
The men appeared "distraught" over the shooting, he added.
According to county booking records, Cibrian and Vasquez were being held in lieu of $1 million bail each at the Inmate Reception Center in Los Angeles pending their initial court appearance.

Court Rules Against Chattanooga Mayor Recall Effort
The Tennessee Court of Appeals ruled Wednesday that a petition drive by groups trying to recall Chattanooga Mayor Ron Littlefield failed to gather enough dated petitions to force an election and used the wrong process for the recall, reports the Chattanooga TFP.
Littlefield attorney Tom Greenholtz said the legal team is satisfied with the opinion.
"It's good after two years to have validation from the Court of Appeals," he said.
Jim Folkner, with Citizens to Recall Mayor Littlefield, called the process a learning experience, but said the group will have to discuss whether to appeal the ruling to the state Supreme Court. The next mayoral election is just six months away.
The appeals court ruling said the recall faction didn't have enough dated petitions, and that it should have used a three-step process -- a petition, a ballot question asking if voters wanted a recall and then a recall election.
But Folkner said the side found one victory in the decision. The appeals court said the City Charter's requirement for fewer signatures on petitions than state law would mandate is valid.

A statewide education organization spent some time in East Texas Tuesday night, learning more about what educators and community members think of Texas's public education system.The Texas American Federation of Teachers hosted a roundtable discussion in Tyler to ask teachers, administrators, school board members and community members what public schools should be providing to students, what makes a successful public school, whether public schools have enough funding to meet student needs, and the role parents should play in education."What has struck me the most is how much people care for their public schools, how they believe that we must meet the needs of all kids that come through the doors and how they believe we need to find the resources to make sure that we are able to meet the needs of those kids," said Linda Bridges, the president of the Texas American Federation of Teachers.This was the eleventh meeting the organization has held around the state, with several more scheduled. They plan to use the information from these meetings around the state to work with the Legislature in Austin next spring.If you'd like more information about the Texas American Federation of Teachers or if you'd like to leave feedback regarding public education, please visit their website.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) - A second suspect in the slaying of an Alabama college student has turned himself in after the first man wanted in the crime was arrested in Georgia.
Tuscaloosa County sheriff's officials say 24-year-old Timothy "Junior" Thornton turned himself in at the sheriff's office around 5 p.m. Sunday.
Earlier, 18-year-old Kiunte Jerome Furr was arrested Sunday morning at an apartment complex in Savannah, Ga. He is being held in the Chatham County Jail pending extradition to Alabama.
Police in Tuscaloosa, Ala., say both men are suspects in the April 9 shooting death of 17-year-old Matthew Hunter Callahan at a condominium complex. Callahan was student at Shelton State Community College, and investigators believe he was killed during a robbery attempt.
It wasn't known whether the two suspects have attorneys.

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said Thursday that he pitched the idea of having a Super Bowl in Chicago to commissioner Roger Goodell.
"Obviously, they're gonna have their first (cold-weather) Super Bowl in another city. We'll see how that goes," Emanuel said, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. "But we talked about why (not) Chicago? Just two weeks ago (we) had a bunch of world leaders here. Sixth-largest NATO summit. And if we can do that, it would be an appropriate place to have a Super Bowl."
The 2014 Super Bowl will be in New York, the first outdoor Super Bowl in a cold-weather city.
"If we can do it successfully there, that opens up doors that we'll be looking at," Goodell said. "Obviously, you know how to host great events. The mayor just mentioned several. And you've got a great stadium. Those are two key factors."
The Bears' Soldier Field holds 63,500.
"The most important thing now is having a great stadium and having a city that can have the infrastructure to host the hundreds of thousands of people that come in," Goodell said.
"Let us get to the point of submitting a bid, then we'll take a look and see what needs to get done to make it a winning bid," he added.

Reviews for Sour Cream Chocolate Cupcakes
Sort By :
I loved this recipe! The cupcakes we so moist and yummy! The only change I made was halfing the frosting and it came out that I had just enough and definitly not too much. I made them for my parents BBQ as an alternative to white cake and those that tried them loved them!
The cupcakes and frosting were Deelicious! After melting the butter and chocolate for the batter and frosting, each separately, I cooled it in the frig until it was quite thick - for about 25 minutes - but making sure it was still pliable/mixable. I didn't have any problems with runny batter or frosting. And the directions for the frosting say specifically to "beat in the confectioners' sugar , etc...", meaning to beat INTO the butter chocolate mixture. I had to read that lilne a few times myself! Oh well! I would recommend this cupcake, my family loved it. Yummy!!!
Recipe said it would make 18-20. I filled 24 and they overflowed. Look horrible! Feel like something is off.
So moist and delicious! But why no salt in this recipe? And the frosting directions don't seem complete. Add the cooled chocolate mixture to the creamed sugar I assumed.
Absolutely delicious cupcakes.
Just didn't work for me...sunk horribly and just looked bad...

Like many children who spend time at the track with their family, author David Hill learned a lot while studying past performances (Photos courtesy Eclipse Sportswire).
When I was in my early twenties I dated a rich girl from New England. We got along great, she was smart and attractive and funny, and we seemed to share a lot of the same interests. Everything was going swell until one fateful day when we were driving down the street and passed an OTB. A man was walking out holding a racing form in one hand and holding a little boy's hand with his other.
"That's awful," she frowned. "Taking a child to a place like that. That poor little boy."
That was our last date.
It cut me pretty deep because when I saw the man and his little boy walking out of the OTB, I didn't see something awful or worthy of pity or scorn. I saw a father and son spending time together. I saw myself with my own father, tickled pink, so happy to be getting attention from him and even happier to be learning an interesting and exciting game. My dad used to tell people that I learned to read from reading the Daily Racing Form. It was only half-right. I had already learned to read by the time he started teaching me how the Daily Racing Form worked when I was nine. But I did learn a lot about math trying to calculate how fast a horse ran each furlong in the workouts tab; not to mention figuring out the fractions on the tote-board odds. There's no better way to learn arithmetic than trying to calculate how much money you stand to win if your horse comes in.
But I'm not making the case for the educational value of horserace handicapping here. I'd rather make the case for the value the game has to families. I grew up out at the racetrack. It was always a part of my family, something we did together, and factored in to our relationships with one another and who we were. I wrote about this phenomenon about family and racing in Grantland last year. And the writer David Roth wrote about it recently after the Belmont Stakes for SB Nation. It's a trope that's well-trod territory for sure. Especially given how these days the sport is mainly something handed down from generation to generation within racetracker families, as opposed to a sport with the appeal among the general public it once held.
I suspect that the woman I was dating who took such pity on the little boy leaving the OTB had actually been to an OTB before. They aren't always fun places. They are filled with gamblers of all stripes, and that runs the gamut from well-heeled and dignified to down-on-their-luck and desperate. But the game is the game. You can watch a baseball game in the seediest of watering holes, or you can spend a day at the ballpark. And even then, you could choose to judge a day at the ballpark by the rowdiest and rudest fans, or you can judge it by the families that show up with gloves for foul balls and scorecards for playing along and posterity. The game is the game.
I have two children of my own now. One is three and the other is nine months old. My wife never spent a day at a racetrack before she met me. And she likely would have shared my old girlfriend's judgment of the father and son at the OTB. But over time as a young couple, tagging along with me to Saratoga or Oaklawn or Fairgrounds or Del Mar, she learned to appreciate the unique charm and the rich experience of the racetrack. When we started our family, we made trips to the track a part of our tradition. Our son was at the Travers when he was only three months old. We brought along some friends and their small child as well, and they've been yearly guests of ours at the Spa ever since.

One racetrack that is especially suited to families with kids is Belmont. The backyard at Belmont has a duck and turtle pond, two pristine playgrounds, and during the summer has a weekly children's day with clowns, petting zoos, bouncing castles, face painting, music, and other entertainment for kids.
On a recent trip to the track with my family we met a number of other families of small children at the playground. They all shared similar stories with us.
"My parents brought me out here when I was three years old," said Michelle, the mother of three-year-old Cailyn. Cailyn was sharing her ponies with my son on the ground near the playground as we chatted. "We brought Cailyn out here when she was two months old."
"If you count time in the womb then she was at Saratoga, too." added John, her father.
"This sport is great for the kids," says Travis, whose two kids are older, but not too old to chase each other around the playground. "I got him a horse on a stick when he was little," Travis says about his older son. "He used to say he wanted to be a jockey."
"They love the horses," says Michelle.
"And the playground makes it easier," says John. "Because we love to bet. So we can take turns watching the kids and making bets."
He was right. The playground certainly made things easier for parents with kids. It was far away from the racetrack, but close enough to the betting windows. I didn't see any contradiction, honestly. The majority of fans at the track that sunny afternoon were in the backyard, soaking up the sunshine, eating with their friends and families at long picnic tables, watching the races on TV screens. You don't have to be next to the animals to be in the game. And at Belmont, you're never too far from a horse. From the horses walking from the paddock area to the ponies' stables, the horses are everywhere.
"I hope my kids bring me here when I get old," says Travis.
"You mean to the playground?" I joke.
"Sure!" he yelps. "Hopefully that means I got grandkids!"

It wasn't a blockbuster deal, but the Raiders' decision to trade for QB Jason Campbell could have some major ramifications.
Campbell, who was acquired at the very affordable price of a 2012 fourth-round pick, said he will start on his new team, which would mean the battle between Bruce Gradkowski and JaMarcus Russell ended before it began, and both of them lost. Head coach Tom Cable said he has not named a starter, though, and plans on holding a five-man competition — he's including Kyle Boller and Charlie Frye in the battle, although they have no chance to win the job.
There's already talk that Campbell's arrival could mean the end of Russell's career in Oakland unless he agrees to a pay cut. Russell is set to make $9.45 million in 2010, and $3 million is guaranteed, even if he's released. The underachieving former No. 1 overall pick has not shown any interest in agreeing to a slashed salary.
Dysfunction in Oakland would be nothing new, but does Cable really want to go through an offseason and training camp with five people competing to become the starting quarterback? That's a big distraction the team doesn't need.

Utah police find 65 lbs.. of pot in motorhomeTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS | April 28,2013GREEN RIVER, Utah The Utah Highway Patrol has arrested a New York man they say was carrying about 65 pounds of marijuana in his motorhome.
The UHP said troopers pulled over the driver of a motorhome last week for traffic and tinted window violations. Troopers said they became suspicious of the driver, Warren DeBiew, 57, of New York.
A police dog detected drugs in the motorhome and a trooper then found about 65 pounds of marijuana, police said.
Authorities said they suspect DeBiew was transporting the drugs from the East Coast to California.

Kansas City gets the first crack at the new-look Raiders with Carson Palmer, who is expected to start this week. Judging by the expert picks around the Web, Oakland is expected to make a seamless transition with their new quarterback in his first game this season. Or maybe no one trusts the Chiefs, like at all.
Sports Illustrated's Peter King talked about the Palmer angle in his weekly picks:
Have to admit I'm rooting very hard for Carson Palmer to start, for the Just Win (Now), Baby Raiders. It seems a good bet he might. Imagine yourself as Hue Jackson. Even when you got this job and Jason Campbell was the quarterback, and Campbell was playing pretty well, you thought, "I'd really like Carson to be my quarterback." Then you trade the steep price of a first- and second-round pick for him (steep? Kilimanjaro-ish), and you begin to think whether you can teach Palmer enough of the offense for him to know 10 pass plays and how to hand off to Darren McFadden 31 times. I can imagine Jackson thinking, "I've just been handed the greatest Christmas present of my life, and told to not open it until New Year's Day. Uh, to blazes with that." Play him, Hue.
That's a lot of words to say that Palmer should start and that it doesn't have to be that taxing for him.
ESPN.com's mega-panel is leaning 6-2 in favor of the Raiders, with Ron Jaworski and Seth Wickersham picking the Chiefs (or picking against the in-transition Raiders). Four out of five CBSSports.com experts predict a Raiders win.
SB Nation's Andrew Sharp is picking Oakland in his weekly NFL picks column, too.

Simeon's Reggie Spearman (5) sacks Brother Rice quarterback Shon Powell (2) during the Prep Bowl at Soldier Field in Chicago, Ill. on Thursday, November 22, 2012. | Jon Durr~ For Sun-Times Media
After weekend official visits to Syracuse, lineman Kendall Moore and linebacker Reggie Spearman — both Simeon seniors — plan to announce their college choices Tuesday.
"The Syracuse visit was great," Moore said. "I liked everything about it and I got a real good feel for the coaches while I was there.
''My favorite part of the visit would have to be the way that the coaches treated us like we were already playing ball for them. They acted really down to earth, which made it easier for us to be ourselves."
Spearman had similar thoughts about the visit, calling it "great," and speaking highly regarding the possibility of playing college ball with Moore.
''It would be big," Spearman said. "I mean, we've basically played all of our lives together. So it'd be big to be able to play football with my best friend because I know he's going to get the job done."
Moore will decide between Illinois, Oklahoma, Syracuse and Western Michigan, while Spearman will pick between Illinois, Syracuse, Iowa and Minnesota.
More for Weishar
In the past week, Marist junior tight end Nic Weishar added offers from Tennessee, Maryland and Arkansas to his rapidly growing list.
"I honestly wasn't expecting any of the offers," Weishar said. "But I would love to visit all three of them, I am just not sure of any dates yet."
Weishar, who has offers from over a dozen schools from all over the country, also recently heard from Missouri and Washington.
"Right now I am looking for the same things that I was looking for in the beginning," Weishar said. "I am looking for a school with great academics and a great football tradition."
Bunting on Iowa
Hinsdale Central junior tight end Ian Bunting added his fifth offer recently — this one from Iowa.
"I am excited about the offer and it's another great place to be a tight end," he said. "Coach D.J. Hernandez, the tight ends coach, showed us some film on their tight ends during the junior day and I was impressed."
Flanders accepts
Glenbard East senior wide receiver Malysha Flanders is headed to the SEC, as a preferred walk-on at Mississippi State.
"I will be going to visit Mississippi State next week, but after talking to the recruiting coordinator and some of the recruits I feel like the program is getting better and better," Flanders said. "Out of the schools that offered me, I felt like playing in the SEC is big time, and it is a chance for me to compete with the best."
Flanders chose Mississippi State over scholarship offers from Indiana State and Northern Iowa.

The definition of hoarding is accumulating a large number of possessions that have no apparent value. With today's popular reality show that is spreading the message on this subject, we all are more aware of this type of situation. Hoarders are becoming...
A big concern with the overhaul of a hoarder house is the person's connection to their belongings. The condition itself lends to the occupant not wanting to throw away any of their belongings. This could put us into a situation in dealing with owners. They may actually need to be removed from the fire scene in order to sort through the piles and extinguish the fire. While sorting through the belongings, remember the old adage that "one man's junk, is another man's treasure."
Final Thoughts
Now that we have covered some of the concerns of fighting fires in hoarder homes, let's take a quick review of what we have learned.
Hoarder homes are popping up in everyone's district all across the country. Sooner or later you will be the one tasked with fighting these fires. These types of fires can be firefighter killers in an instant.
Having solid firefighting skills will help you when you are faced with a house full of stuff. Using one or more of the tactics discussed above will hopefully make it a little smoother or possibly save a firefighter's life.
And, remember, when faced with this type of challenge, the best tactic may be not to go in! It's one of the hardest decisions a firefighter will have to make.

California Falls off the Map by Sarah Scharbrough - 5 months ago
"I have just successfully finished a Kickstarter campaign where folks pledge to help me fund my new CD project! One of the reward tiers was a CD & tshirt combo. This is a picture of some of my funders from around the country that took a selfie and sent it to me to be a part of this collage. I LOVE the shirts and I love this shot of the folks on my team! Thanks!!!"
