Pours a clear copper orange with a very small off white head that dissipates quickly into a thin ring, with light lacing.
Aroma of oak , tart apples, malt and a hint of alcohol.
Taste is very tart with a trace of pomegranate, with an oak ending leaving a slight bitter after taste.
Mouthfeel is medium body with moderate carbonation, very crisp and tart with a slight alcohol warming from the 8% ABV.
Overall the pomegranate did not have a strong presence, not saying that was bad,just a little surprising. This is a middle of the road ale with a nice tart bite.

Cask aged on Sazerac Rye Barrels at Churckey DC for #DCBW11
Light brown pour, sort of see through, without head. Sweet smell filled with fruits, mostly pomegranate. Wow, the taste has a big hit of alcohol. Fruits , whiskey. Strong. Nicely carbonated. medium bodied, boozy. This was way too strong. Expected more balanced taste.

The beer pours an amber/orangish color with a thick frothy off-white head that slowly fades to lacing. The aroma is decent. It has a tart fruit scent that's quite assertive. The barrel aging adds a light oak character, but the overall aroma is still fruit. The taste is decent as well. It's basically a sour tasting beer with some light oak character. It's smooth and easy drinking with a real tart finish. The mouthfeel is average. It's a medium/full bodied beer with a little less than adequate carbonation. This is a unique tasting beer, but nothing I'd search out again.

Had a glass on tap at HopCat in Grand Rapids, MI. I was drawn to trying this beer based on the uniqueness of the pomegranate. The beer was good, but if I had been given a glass without knowing the name, I would not have had any idea that it was a fruit beer.
After 25% of the glass was gone, I very slightly began to detect the meager possibility of there being pomegranate in the beer. The SLIGHT fruit detection was right at the beginning of each sip.
I enjoyed the beer, but if you are expecting a fruity pomegranate taste, you will not find it here. It actually reminded me of a really good Amber Ale.

This is one of the worst beers I've ever had. I don't know what went wrong here, it was a complete miss. I drank so little of it the bartender asked me what was wrong with it, "It tastes like someone poured their whiskey sour into a sink full of dirty dishes" he laughed and took the nearly full snifter away to pour it down the drain for me.
Served on cask at Churchkey in a snifter. Beer is amber and mostly clear, no carbonation, no head, no lacing.
Aroma is sweet and whiskey like.
Beer is thin and dry, really dry, flat, sweet, whiskey water with a soapy aftertaste. Danger, danger, avoid avoid avoid.
Not everything gets better by putting it into a barrel, next time you are thinking about doing such a stupid thing Schmaltz ask yourself this, "Is this a fruit beer that will taste like shit after I do this?" If the answer is "Probably" or "likely" or "Yes" don't do it. I am unimpressed. Very unimpressed.

Then a few weeks ago, Sherry told me that on Saturday, Nov. 24, Rosie had been shot while flying near her home. The news shocked and saddened me.
There's a huge emotional cost to a falconer who spends years training and establishing an extraordinary bond with a raptor, only to have the treasured nonhuman family member shot out of the sky. The working partnership between this falconer and her bird should have lasted until Rosie, the Harris' hawk, was in her twenties. Rosie was only five years old.
Will this poison Sherry's falconry passion and skills? If the shooter walks away unscathed and Sherry doesn't get a settlement for damages, will she even want to stay in Deming? She came here to practice falconry safely. If nothing is done, will this highly skilled contributing member of the community move away to make room for a violent community member? We'll see who the laws actually protect.

Trivia quiz. Category: American History.
1. When George Washington took the oath of office as our first president, who swore him in?
2. The 1776 Continental Congress in Philadelphia appointed a Committee of Five to draw up the Declaration of Independence. John Adams represented Massachusetts; Ben Franklin, Pennsylvania; Roger Sherman, Connecticut and Thomas Jefferson, Virginia. Who was the member representing the Province of New York?
The prototype of the smart, tough upstate operator has to be Robert Livingston, a Scots immigrant who arrived in New York Harbor in 1674, 20 years old and eager to make a New-World fortune. This hardworking immigrant, in a few short decades, made the greatest fortune, and sired the grandest family, in New York Province.
Once there was a town called Eminence.
How can a brook be dry? Isn't a brook, by its very nature, wet. A drive up Dry Brook in the August heat of a dry summer day will reveal long stretches of baked gravel in the streambed, but, still, there is water in the brook – it's just, temporally, a narrow brook. So how come we call that stream Dry Brook?
The first produce of the Catskills to achieve commercial value were seeds of the balsam fir. That's right, evergreen seeds. Seems that landscape gardening was all the rage in 18th-century England.
When I was a kid, I had a record – vinyl, 33 and a third, long-playing – called "Great Moments in History," or something like that. (I also had a complete set of small plastic statuettes of the 34 Presidents of the United States, but that's another story.)
If the Catskills were a kingdom, the Hardenbergh Patent would be our Magna Carta.
By the patent, I mean the piece of paper, parchment probably, upon which, in 1708, New York Provincial Secretary George Clarke wrote.
The capital of American colonial history has to be Williamsburg, Va. Colonial Williamsburg recreates that city, as closely as possible, to what it was like just before independence. Spend a couple of days in Williamsburg and you are in colonial Virginia.
The late Nat Ciccone used to photograph Catskill Mountain barns. The longtime Margaretville Central teacher and coach would drive scenic mountain back roads, stopping to capture, on 35 millimeter film, those barns of Ulster and Delaware counties, that, Nat knew back in the '80s, would not be around too much longer.
Just got in from shoveling. Big snow is all encompassing, takes our full attention: physically, certainly, but mentally, psychologically, and emotionally, as well. Big snow brings up wellsprings of memory and talk.

Town prepares for loss of redevelopment agency

" The town will no longer be able to take on redevelopment projects and, instead, will focus on paying off outstanding debts." Sounds like a good plan to me!
on Jan 4, 2012 at 12:32 pm
The town already saw this coming and appeared to set up projects accordingly during last year.
on Jan 4, 2012 at 2:00 pm
Yes, the town is much better managed than others thanks to our manager, staff, council and volunteers. I have just one question. If the funds being seized have already been appropriated by the state, where in our property tax did they come from? I see no line item for a state assessment or RDA. I certainly hope they're not seizing our future property taxes. The state has its own tax revenues.

DESCRIPTIONWithin the human body, the presence of certain heavy metals such as iron and copper, in the proper concentrations is essential for normal bodily functions. Other heavy metals such as lead and aluminum are nonessential. The build-up of heavy metals in the body, which can occur through ingestion or from a metabolic dysfunction, is toxic. Chelation therapy is an established treatment for the removal of metal toxins by converting them to a chemically inert form that can be excreted in the urine. Chelation therapy consists of the intravenous or oral administration of chelating agents that remove metal ions such as lead, aluminum, mercury, arsenic, zinc, iron, copper, and calcium from the body.
Specific chelating agents are used for particular heavy metal toxicities. For example, desferoxamine is used for patients with iron toxicity, and calcium-EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) is used for patients with lead poisoning. Note that disodium- EDTA is not recommended for acute lead poisoning due to the increased risk of death from hypocalcemia. Disodium-EDTA has been discontinued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Another class of chelating agents, called metal protein attenuating compounds (MPACs), is under investigation for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, which is associated with the disequilibrium of cerebral metals. Unlike traditional systemic chelators that bind and remove metals from tissues systemically, MPACs have subtle effects on metal homeostasis and abnormal metal interactions. In animal models of Alzheimer's disease, they promote the solubilization and clearance of Aβ-amyloid protein by binding its metal-ion complex, and also inhibit redox reactions that generate neurotoxic free radicals. MPACs therefore interrupt two putative pathogenic processes of Alzheimer's disease. However, no MPACs have received FDA approval for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
While chelation therapy has been used effectively in patients with heavy metal toxicities, chelation therapy has been proposed for other therapeutic indications, including atherosclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, Alzheimer's disease, and autism.
POLICYChelation therapy is considered medically necessary when based on blood levels and used to treat the following:
Other applications of chelation therapy are considered investigational, including, but not limited to:
Investigative service is defined as the use of any treatment procedure, facility, equipment, drug, device, or supply not yet recognized by certifying boards and/or approving or licensing agencies or published peer review criteria as standard, effective medical practice for the treatment of the condition being treated and as such therefore is not considered medically necessary.

Time-Life Photographer: Kim Jong Il's Cult Like Bush's 'Very Controlled' White House
A newly posted Time-Life magazine photo montage showcased pictures of North Korea and touted photographer Christopher Morris comparing brutal dictator Kim Jong Il to the "very controlled environment" of George W. Bush's White House.
On Life magazine's website, Morris connected, "America at that time [2005] was, you'll recall, filled with a kind of blind nationalism. But Time appreciated the way I was able to work and get good photos even within that intensely restrictive environment -- and that's why they sent me to North Korea." The photographer bizarrely insisted that taking pictures in America could be "more restrictive than in North Korea."
"Try picking up your camera and just start shooting at JFK airport, or in a subway in the States," he complained.
Morris did concede, "Of course...in North Korea you don't have freedom of movement, you can't come and go as you please."
In the December 2010 publication, re-posted on Life's website in the wake of the dictator's death, Morris credulously touted the North Koreans, many of whom are starving, for not having to deal with western capitalism:
"It's so revealing to talk with North Koreans," Morris notes, "because they really do look at American society and, say, South Korean society as a capitalist wasteland of decadence and immorality and the exploitation of people through corporate greed.
A second photographer, the British Gary Knight, did allow that the North Korean regime is "beyond evil."
However, he offered similar sentiments: "The regime should change, should become more open -- but a lot will be lost. You have millions and millions of people who have never been exposed to the ravages of the unfettered free market, of corporate greed. Certainly their neighbors, the Chinese and the South Koreans, are intensely competitive, and are simply going to swallow them up."
The response of these journalists sounds very similar to what some reporters said when communism collapsed in 1989:
"Few tears will be shed over the demise of the East German army, but what about East Germany's eighty symphony orchestras, bound to lose some subsidies, or the whole East German system, which covered everyone in a security blanket from day care to health care, from housing to education? Some people are beginning to express, if ever so slightly, nostalgia for that Berlin Wall."
— CBS reporter Bob Simon on the March 16, 1990 CBS Evening News.
For more on that, see the MRC's Better Off Red.
Text of the above comments can be found below. The entire photographic montage can be found here.
[Hat tip to the MRC's James Nolan.]
Christopher Morris, who has covered conflicts all over the world and recorded George W. Bush's presidency for Time, was working in New Orleans in 2005, just after Katrina hit, when his editors called: "They'd gotten me a rare visa to North Korea, and at the height of the storm I left New Orleans for this other assignment. And honestly, I think Time chose me because I had been covering the White House -- a very controlled environment -- where you're told where you can go, what you can photograph, what you can't photograph.... America at that time was, you'll recall, filled with a kind of blind nationalism. But Time appreciated the way I was able to work and get good photos even within that intensely restrictive environment -- and that's why they sent me to North Korea. I was good at handling restrictions." Above: North Korean soldiers during the famed Anirang Mass Games in Pyongyang.
"In some ways," Morris claims, "I've found photographing in America these days a lot more restrictive than it was in North Korea. Try picking up your camera and just start shooting at JFK airport, or in a subway in the States. People -- and not just the authorities, but regular people -- do not like it. Above: Commuters ride the subway in Pyongyang.
"It's so revealing to talk with North Koreans," Morris notes, "because they really do look at American society and, say, South Korean society as a capitalist wasteland of decadence and immorality and the exploitation of people through corporate greed. And I remember the female minder I had: I let her listen to my iPod playing some popular Western music, which of course is something she's never exposed to. And to her, it was just pollution. I don't want to say it seemed pornographic to her, but it definitely did not sit well with her. She simply had no desire to hear it.
"I fell in love with the North Korean people, really," [British photographer and co-founder of VII Photo Agency Gary] Knight says. "They were so kind. So thoughtful. And while I would never defend the regime in North Korea -- it's obviously beyond evil -- and while almost any alternative is probably better than what's there now, it's also clear that regime change could cause real harm to the very people it's supposed to help. There will be enormous trauma, like someone waking from a 50-year coma. The regime should change, should become more open -- but a lot will be lost. You have millions and millions of people who have never been exposed to the ravages of the unfettered free market, of corporate greed. Certainly their neighbors, the Chinese and the South Koreans, are intensely competitive, and are simply going to swallow them up. Whatever comes next, I fear it will seriously damage the mental well-being of the North Korean people."

(Oh, yeah - he was supporting mooooooooooooslem 'democracy'....right. I forgot about that.........). And I'm also wondering where he will stand in regards to Eric (with)Holder, now that the criminal (and you thought Janet Reno was bad???) AG has put them together as a tag-team that is being attacked and harrassed for being 'African-Americans'. Well, he's half-right about Barry...........Barry IS an 'African'!!!
The other thing, Dave, is that you say the two of these clowns (unfunny clowns, however) are close in their idealogues.....but Kim had a military dictatorship - that was his sole strength, and the whole country revolved around that. Barry is very anti-military - except when he can claim credit for something that the military has done that will advance his status - and I'm sure that he'd rather have his own 'people's Army' getting his back..............because you can bet that our standing military wouldn't support him at the moment of truth.

But they obvisouly aren't alone.
The sympathy that Western socialists exhibit for totalitarian Communist regimes seems to suggest that they believe those regimes 'take care of the People' while presumably permitting journalists, photographers, entertainers, etc. earning a lot of money on their talents.
I would ask these two to compare the poorest citizens of the US to the avarage citiziens in North Korea and tell us who is better off. Maybe they are unaware that malnutrition in North Korea has resulted in each generation being slightly smaller and less healthy than the previous.

Of course it is. America has certain people that are using the freedom as a way of plotting attacks to kill people. You won't have that in N .Korea because there is no freedom. If they suspect you may be plotting something, you are dragged away in the middle of the night, tortured and never heard from again. If you're lucky they might not take your family as well. Kind of hard to operate in that kind of atmosphere, huh? Perhaps you think America should be more like N. Korea in THAT aspect?

Thinking back to the discovery by longest serving White House Press corps (pronounced corpse, by President Obama) member, the venerable leftist, Helen Thomas, we should recall her compelling words for the Obama White House's control over the media.
After Thomas' run in with White House press secretary, Robert Gibbs , Thomas told CNS News on July 1, 2009, "that Obama's grip on the media is even greater than that of Richard Nixon."
Nixon didn't try to do that. They couldn't control [the media]. They didn't try that. What the hell do they think we are, puppets? They're supposed to stay out of our business. They are our public servants. We pay them. ... I'm not saying there has never been managed news before, but this is carried to fare-thee-well--for the town halls, for the press conferences. It's blatant. They don't give a damn if you know it or not. They ought to be hanging their heads in shame.
She didn't mention Bush, so one must assume that she considered Obama to be the worst in all these many decades. Historic, I tell you, this Obama WH's control of the media.
I guess the MSM was rather successful, as not even the national media heard about it - or, has chosen to forget it.
And then in April, 2010 As revealed by Politico's Mike Allen, "Press airs grievances to Gibbs:"
"White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs met with a delegation from the White House press corps for 75 minutes on Thursday in an effort to improve frayed relations between the two sides.
Ed Chen [another noted liberal], a White House correspondent for Bloomberg News who is president of the White House Correspondents' Association, said he asked for the meeting "to clear the air because in my 10-plus years at the White House, rarely have I sensed such a level of anger, which is wide and deep, among members over White House practices and attitude toward the press."
If only the voters knew.

Backpacker Magazine – June 2009
Our restless guinea pig snooze-tested the latest science and gear to bring you a simple plan that's guaranteed to improve your backcountry ZZZ's.
Say Goodnight
Six sleep tips from the experts
Stop hiking three hours before bed. "Exercise itself should help bring sleep, but not if you're active right up to bedtime," says Dr. Thomas Reilly of Liverpool John Moores University. Why? Exertion releases the stimulating hormone cortisol.
Give yourself three hours to digest dinner–a full belly can disrupt slumber. But a light snack sometimes helps, advises Mary Susan Esther, president of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. Try caffeine-free hot cocoa or a chunk of cheese; dairy products combined with carbs help promote drowsiness.
Skip the caffeine (and nicotine) in the four to six hours before bed–it keeps you alert by blocking sleep-inducing adenosine in your brain, and can take hours to wear off.
Don't nap after 3 p.m. A short (one hour or less) catnap can perk you up, but doing it too late in the day diminishes your natural sleep drive, leaving you too alert at bedtime.
Go to bed at your usual time. Your body's sleep/wake rhythms stick to a regular schedule, and it's very difficult to shift them for a night or two.
Take the time to find a level, wind-sheltered campsite free of rocks and twigs.
As usual, I got to the second page and had to stop reading. Why? Because I just can't deal with waiting for 30+ seconds for a freaking page to load.

Regarding the CPAP, I have a Resmed series 8. After doing some research, I came up with a system that works pretty good.
The batteries are the killer, but I found a 12 volt 9 amp hour battery weighing 6 pounds that gives me about 10+ hours of sleep (two nights) When you add it all up, I am carrying an extra 9 pounds, but this is doable.
My recommendation is to buy AGM Deep cycle batteries 12 volt and 9 am hours. The resmed with a converter is very efficient at .9 per hour.
Therm a Rest Neoair. 2.5 inches thick, 14 ounces, pure bliss. After a solid 4 years of backpacking with closed cell foam pads I'm a convert.
Hey, Chris. Not to sound sarcastic but there's some comments below that talk about it. Just scroll on down! ;)
My friend has sleep apena. She needs a CPAP machine to sleep safely. Can any one help me find a good portable machine that will allow to go camping together? As CPAP machines become more common, being able to go in the back country with one, plus make it through a power outage would make great reading. Thanks, Chris
I've always had exactly the same experience as Grant, wondering why the heck I couldn't get a good night's sleep on the trail. Tried a hammock for the first time last month and slept better than I do at home. No more tents--my new Warbonnet Blackbird just arrived in the mail!
Like you Grant, I slept miserably for years so I could enjoy the beauty and solitude of the outdoors. Then I discovered the camping hammock. I have never in my life slept so well on a campout. They're also great for an afternoon nap or a chair. For the record, I have a Hennessy Expedition and my wife has a Warbonnet Blackbird. Both are great sleepers.
Hang! Just got a Warbonnet Blackbird hammock for a 10 day canoe trek in Maine. Hung for the first few nights, then spent two nights in a tent on a grassy point (too many skeeters in the trees and there was a nice breeze). OUCH! Back to the trees! Don't know if my tents will ever get used again, but the Blackbird? My wife wants me to take it down and sleep in the bedroom...
I learned alot from this article however I do feel for you all...I'm usually the snorer that you guys complain about.
Skip the bourbon and you won't be hot and sweaty in the middle of the night. Take a couple prophylactic acetaminophin or ibuprophen an hour before sleep instead, with adequate water to dissolve them and keep you hydrated. I agree alcohol is esp bad at even medium altitude. I bring a little flashlite like a Princeton Eclipse with a low beam so I can read myself to sleep, or read myself back to sleep in the middle of the night, without disturbing my tentmate. If you pick the right book, reading programs your mind so you can sleep.
There is a dental appliance used for treating sleep apnea called the TAP appliance. It's often used when people can't tolerate the cpap machine. It opens an airway by advancing the lower jaw. I hope this helps you Randy.
I'm lucky enough to have my lodge set up for the whole summer and enjoy the comfort of a cot. My problem with the cot was freezing to death in my bag. I found that the thermarest pad I used backpacking worked great with the cot.
I have sleep apnea and now need a cpap machine. I lug around a 12 volt marine battery hat weighs 50+ pounds. I haven't figured out how to go backpacking and use the cpap with a small battery and solar charger. Any body have this problem? a solution?

I've found an adequate pillow is key to all-night comfort. My solution is a dedicated stuff sack in which I insert a down or fleece jacket. The other secret I've found is a change in approach to the turning and tossing issue: Rather than think in terms of turning inside the bag, my approach is to use a less-roomy mummy bag that tightly encases me so that when I turn, I turn bag and all. That eliminates the issue of cold pockets and drafts into the bag, and the flattened down quickly restores its loft after turning. That approach, on top of an 1 1/2" of Thermarest, does the trick for me.

Quarterly Market Update
In this edition of BBVA Compass Market Outlook, Managing Director of Portfolio Management, Gwynne Shackelford and Investment Strategist, Anne-Joëlle Viguier-Galley postulate that China may pose a threat to the current U.S. economic expansion which has proven to be more anemic for longer than would be expected after the recession ended in 2009. Ms. Shackelford and Ms. Viguier-Galley examine the implications for the U.S. and the rest of the world of China's attempts to shift from being the export machine of the world to becoming more domestically consumer oriented which has slowed the pace of growth in the world's second-largest economy.
1. In last quarter's issue of BBVA Compass Market Outlook, you indicated that the Federal Reserve's measured exit from quantitative easing would create a drag on the U.S. economy in 2014. Has your outlook changed?
The Fed announced plans in December to begin incrementally drawing to a close the $85 billion monthly bond purchases which began in September 2012. Most recently, Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen announced that the Fed will trim bond purchases to $55 billion in April from $65 billion in February and March and $75 billion in January. Due to the timing of the exit, which we anticipate will be completed in the fall, assuming U.S. economic growth continues on the current path, we continue to believe that this reduction in the bond purchase program will put a slight damper on growth because it reduces liquidity and thus generates more volatility in the markets, which impacts both consumer and business confidence. We do, however, view this as a positive in that growth, albeit slow, and job creation are finally sufficient to allow the Fed to end large scale asset purchases that have increased the Fed balance sheet to $4.3 billion from $800 million in the past five years.
Recently the outlook for tapering has been complicated by exceptionally bad winter weather along with global growth concerns, specifically driven by China. Jawboning at the political level involves the potentially negative impact of the Fed's tapering upon the rest of the world. This in turn increases market volatility and leads to confusion about whether the Fed will change its mind.
Certainly while a focus on the U.S. by the Fed is important, it cannot afford to be agnostic to what is happening in the rest of the world. But in our opinion, while the Fed is keeping an eye on global events, it is primarily looking through the lenses of how these affect the U.S. It is unlikely (unless there is a major crisis event) that plans will be set aside solely because of economic conditions in China or other countries.
2. In your opinion, where does the Fed's current tapering initiative fall in terms of timing - too soon or not soon enough?
Shall we say it is too soon to tell? It is a toggle - the Fed can accelerate tapering if economic growth picks up, or put on the brakes should growth slow. There are currently no inflationary pressures of the sort that the Fed monitors to say tapering has come too late. Instead economic growth seems sufficient to withstand tapering. Another key consideration is bond yields and while yields have risen, they have not skyrocketed.
The scope of global monetary stimulus has been unprecedented and the unwinding has created considerable noise and market volatility. Central banks worldwide including Japan, the United Kingdom, China, Europe and the U.S. have injected trillions of dollars or similar stimulants into their monetary systems since 2008 in order to relaunch economic growth. While the unwinding of such monumental stimulus is without doubt unchartered territory, getting out sooner is preferable to later. Even though tapering will to some extent keep a lid on markets and economies, in the long run it will be healthier for U.S. growth.
3. Just how well is the U.S. economy doing?
The U.S. economy continues to improve slowly and below what would be expected at this stage of the recovery. To some extent financial markets have accepted this trajectory for now.
4. What are some of the risks to U.S. growth?
In our opinion, one risk scenario is China. China is engineering a shift from being the export machine of the world to becoming more consumer-oriented, and in the process transitioning from an emerging market to a more developed economy. To achieve this advance, the Chinese government must eliminate vast disparities between the recently emerged über-wealthy class and the hundreds of millions of "normal" Chinese by better spreading the income to the middle class. Such a social and structural shift will take time – five, ten years or more.
China is in a very different economic developmental stage than the U.S. Indeed the slowing of their GDP growth, rather than being a concern, is an appropriate outcome of China moving from a third world to a more developed country. An $8 -$9 trillion economy cannot continue to grow at a rate of 10-12% for an unlimited time. While the slowdown is both logical and normal, what will eventually be good for the country is not necessarily good for equity markets in the short term, and as a result financial markets have experienced a great deal of volatility. Should the economy derail because the country is so large and the transition is so challenging, then concerns about a threat to global growth stemming from those changes will persist.
Also complicating the secular change is the looser monetary policy which China enacted between 2008 and 2012. Like the U.S., China must maneuver their restrained monetary stimulus in such a way that a soft landing is achieved. China still retains the ability to use fiscal policy to mitigate the impact, but that is a very thin line because there are almost 1.4 billion Chinese citizens who want more, particularly the younger generation. For example, whereas in the U.S. we stockpile oil, China stockpiles rice. What would happen if the government could not feed the population? The potential for political unrest and social upheaval is increased should a billion people become dissatisfied with the rate of development and change within the country.
5. Are there other implications of a slowdown in China's growth rate for the U.S. and the world?
While U.S. inflation has hovered consistently below the 2% rate targeted by the Fed, the changes in China's economy described above, among other factors, could drive U.S. inflation in the future. For years one of the reasons the U.S. had such low inflation was because we were able to import deflation from China through the import of very cheap goods. As China becomes more of a consuming nation, that positive benefit should tend to disappear. Average salaries have been increasing in China, as the transition to elevating the middle class requires additional income. While this is good for the Chinese, it means that many companies that were manufacturing there very cheaply are now reconsidering. Should this manufacturing be moved back to the U.S., it would be good for our economy. We are already seeing some anecdotal evidence of this happening.
Conditions in China could potentially have a greater impact on Europe than the U.S. for several reasons. Europe is earlier in the recovery cycle than the U.S. and does not have the margin of error, or cushion, in terms of GDP growth that the U.S. has. Also, the European Union (EU) is one of China's main trading partners. China's GDP should still be around 7.2% to 7.5% this year, with the second half better than the first half. Within the EU, Germany has the highest trading links to China and this, together with the recent geopolitical events in Russia could pressure the German economy.
6. What are the most important considerations for investors?
We would caution investors not to overreact to events in China, but instead to focus on their investment time horizon. When building a portfolio, macro events can easily become a distraction. While a dramatic slowdown in China's economic growth would not be an insignificant event, ultimately an investor's time horizon will dictate how much they have invested in equities. And hopefully, through professional money management, exposure to China's equity market or other volatile markets will only be in an amount appropriate to the client's tolerance for risk.
Ultimately, the successful anticipation of macro issues and a seer's ability to time the markets are not determinative, but it is rather the discipline to stay in the markets, that mitigates risk. Certainly no one forecast last year's 30% returns in the U.S. stock market. The only way to reap the reward was to have been invested. The route to investment success is to have an understanding of one's time horizon, a defined investment objective and risk tolerance and a disciplined investment strategy.

Investing involves risk including the potential loss of principal. There is no guarantee that a diversified portfolio will outperform a non-diversified portfolio in any given market environment. No investment strategy, such as asset allocation, can guarantee a profit or protect against loss in periods of declining values. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Please note that individual situations can vary. Therefore, the information presented here should only be relied upon when coordinated with individual professional advice.
Indexes are unmanaged and investors are not able to invest directly into any index.
International investing involves special risks not present with U.S. investments due to factors such as increased volatility, currency fluctuation, and differences in auditing and other financial standards. These risks can be accentuated in emerging markets.
Investments in stocks of small companies involve additional risks. Smaller companies typically have a higher risk of failure, and are not as well established as larger blue-chip companies. Historically, smaller-company stocks have experienced a greater degree of market volatility than the overall market average.
Equity investments tend to be volatile and do not involve the guarantees associated with holding a bond to maturity.
In general, the bond market is volatile as prices rise when interest rates fall and vice versa. This effect is usually pronounced for longer-term securities. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to a substantial gain or loss.
Fixed income investments are subject to various risks including changes in interest rates, credit quality, inflation risk, market valuations, prepayments, corporate events, tax ramifications and other factors.
The investor should note that vehicles that invest in lower-rated debt securities (commonly referred to as junk bonds) involve additional risks because of the lower credit quality of the securities in the portfolio. The investor should be aware of the possible higher level of volatility, and increased risk of default.
Municipal bond offerings are subject to availability and change in price. If sold prior to maturity, municipal bonds may be subject to market and interest risk. An issuer may default on payment of the principal or interest of a bond. Bond values will decline as interest rates rise. Depending upon the municipal bond offered, alternative minimum tax and state/local taxes could apply.
The price of commodities is subject to substantial price fluctuations of short periods of time and may be affected by unpredictable international monetary and political policies. The market for commodities is widely unregulated and concentrated investing may lead to higher price volatility.
Investments in real estate have various risks including possible lack of liquidity and devaluation based on adverse economic and regulatory changes.

Back in the late 1980s, former boxer Mike Tyson and up-and-coming movie star Brad Pitt were involved in a love triangle.
Really. It's true, at least according to the Huffington Post.
Tyson supposedly knew that Pitt was sleeping with Tyson's then-separated wife, Robin Givens, during their divorce proceedings when the couple would still meet for some private time. In one interview, Tyson said he walked in on Pitt and Givens in the middle of the act.
"I was getting a divorce. I was going to my lawyer's office to divorce her that day but I wanted to sneak in a quickie." Apparently, Givens was also spending time with Pitt. "This particular day, someone beat me to the punch," Tyson told [Yahoo! Sports]. "I guess Brad got there earlier than I did. I was mad as hell. You should've saw his face when he saw me."
However, in an earlier interview, Tyson said he saw Givens driving up to her home with Pitt in her car, a far cry from catching the two in bed together.
While we're not sure exactly what happened, it appears that Tyson and Pitt were once involved in a love triangle. Maybe that can be a side plot in "Hangover 3."

The plans for this project came from a Woodsmith Shop television episode. Click here for the preview video and free plans!
The size proportions are perfect for a laptop computer station or as a designated place to keep the home finances in order.
The primary purpose for building this project was to get some experience in building a tambour, in preparation for building a full-size desk later this year.
It is constructed of red oak, rather than the program's recommended cherry build. The project took about 20 labor hours and requires intermediate experience.
As a note, I have found Woodsmith Shop plans are particularly easy to read, understand and follow. Because the plans include detailed graphics, their projects are perfect for beginners (and goof-uppers like me).
Thanks for looking!

Thnak you all for the kind comments.
Jay, the first attempt of the tambour flopped. I learned that the canvas needs at least three coats of contact cement. A single coat won't do it. The fabric needs to be "sealed" with multiple coats. I was surprised to find, though, the cement didn't bleed through to the back (nor the stain). I applied one and two slats at a time and it worked great. And, I was able to use the same slats on the second attempt, so no lost work.
Tooch, amazing eye! It is actually Cabot's "Dark Walnut." It is a bit thicker than Minwax and I didn't leave it on very long before wiping the excess off. It was my first use of The Cabot brand, available at Lowe's. I'll use it again!

"Excellent quality, sturdy card and envelope. Loved the design and quality of the pictures printed . Came a couple days before expected. Received many complements!"
"When I set it up one of my pics had bad lighting but I liked the pic so used it anyway. It came out really good! I had not used the studio basics before because I thought it would be too much like a Walmart card. It was not at all. The paper quality was great. Not flimsy or shiny. Will use studio basics again. The card design was very cute, too."
"I arranged for a special photo shoot last summer to be done in an old abandoned factory in my hometown and our photographer took a dramatic long shot of my husband and I in each other's arms. I really wanted to use it for our holiday greetings but couldn't imagine how to pull it off and this card layout was the perfect frame, with just the right touch of whimsy and cheekiness! It was on great card stock and the printing was flawless, AND it arrived early. Perfection!"
"I couldn't have been happier with the cards. (Took our family photo on a Sunday and received the cards on Tues.) The quality of the photo was excellent along with the paper the cards were printed on. It's also nice to have options with not only the layout but the desigh of the card itself. I chose a design that was 20 cents extra per card but it was worth it. Also, be aware of extra postage which is always stated. Being in such a hurry I missed that minor detail but again I was so happy to have cards that the extra postage was no big deal."
"Loved this design. The paper quality is once again substantial and of excellent quality. The colors came through even better than in the online version. My photos came through as clear and as crisp as they were in the originals, so well done tinyprints. This year I opted for the 2 day editing help. Thank goodness I did. ONE day after submitting my card, I got a call from one of the design people (on a SUNDAY!) who took out an unsightly fire extinguisher I had mentioned and also the unfortunate name tag visible on my lapel. Done! Perfect! Thank you tinyprints and thank you for actually getting my holiday cards to me A DAY EARLY! Wow. I am already a loyal tiny prints customer, but this year's experience certainly sealed it for me."

They've been close friends and costars for years, and George Clooney couldn't be happier for Brad Pitt, as he married his longtime partner Angelina Jolie on Saturday (August 23).
The "Ocean's Eleven" hunk issued a statement to People magazine in response to the nuptial news, though he's likely known for quite awhile.
She's one of the most outspoken ladies in showbiz, but Joan Rivers is in pretty bad shape after getting rushed to the hospital today (August 28).
According to TMZ, the 81-year-old comedienne was having surgery on her vocal chords when she stopped breathing suddenly.
Her personal struggles with eating disorders, substance abuse and self-harm are well-documented, but these days Demi Lovato is in much happier spirits.

Always looking to use her fame for a good cause, Reese Witherspoon posted a heartfelt message for a very special fan via Instagram on Wednesday (August 27).
The "Sweet Home Alabama" babe dressed up as her "Legally Blonde" character Elle Woods and snapped a selfie while holding a homemade sign.
"Never at any point have I sat down and plotted how I should proceed from here on. As soon as you start thinking about your career as a trajectory—like, as if you're going to miss out on some wave or momentum—then you're never doing anything for yourself anyway. Then you're truly, actually, specifically working for the public. You're turning yourself into a bag of chips."

Did McCain and Obama sell out your freedom?
Posted on Jul 10, 2008
Did John McCain and Barack Obama sell out your freedom yesterday?
With the passing of the Senate version of the amendments to FISA, and with neither Obama nor McCain voting AGAINST the amendments, it is clear that neither candidate cares about your freedom as an American.
In a statement issued yesterday, Libertarian Party spokesperson Andrew Davis said that believing "Democrats are more adept at protecting American civil liberties is a lie." He continued by saying that "Democrats are just as guilty" as Republicans, and have been a "doormat to the Republican-lead assault on our Constitution."
With this sellout of our freedom, the only party left that stands consistently on the side of freedom and the Constitution is the Libertarian Party!
The Libertarian Party has repeatedly called for blocking ANY amendments to FISA that increased the power of government, and stopped justice from being served in cases where companies were complicit in helping the Bush administration break the law.
While the Libertarian Party believes that government should have the tools to protect Americans against attacks from enemies both at home and abroad, we do not believe it should be done at the expense of our CONSTITUTIONAL LIBERTY!
To help us continue our battle against these egregious abuses of power, please donate to the Libertarian Party today.
We still have 19 states left to get on the ballot, which will give voters a choice for president instead of just the candidates of the two major parties who stand in the way of more freedom and liberty!
So, please, help us get on the ballot, and help us in our fight to restore the Constitution, limit the size of government, reduce the amount of taxes Americans pay and bring more individual freedom to all U.S. citizens!
Thank you for all your support, and all that you do for liberty.
In Liberty,
Bill Redpath
National Chairman
Libertarian National Committee
P.S. If you have already donated, thank you for your support! If you are able to do so again, please donate now!
P.P.S. Don't forget, if you are receiving this e-mail, but have not yet become an official member of the Libertarian Party, or you need to renew your membership, then do so today by clicking here!

Here's the episode that came about from that contest:This time around, however, we want to make it a bigger, more involved challenge — and a challenge it'll be!

I visited this place on three occasions while on a weekend in Cologne (End of November 2010). The first occasion was when my wife and I went in during the day just for a couple of kolsch. The kobe was pleasent and efficient. This experience encouraged me to go back there with another couple for lunch and dinner (with beer, of course). The food was excellent. but the place can get very busy on weekend nights, and prebooking is advised. This is done with your waiter, and you ask for him when going there at the appointed hour.
The place itself is a beautiful interior with plenty of wood and a beautiful stained glass ceiling in the second room. This is a must visit in Cologne.

Didnt manage to go into the brewhouse so this review is based on the beer garden around the corner on the Alter Markt.
Location is in a corner on the square covered by overhanging leafy trees and umbrellas giving a nice shady spot in the sun.
The area was quiet and sleepy with the occasional stag do wandering by or sitting down for a few Kolsch.
Service was slow to be honest, i dont think the Kobes noticed us as we sat down as we waited 10 mins or so for a beer, but once ordered it was very efficient.
Only Peters Kolsch available along with Schofferhoffer hefe-weizen.Definitely not the best Kolsch but was fresh.
Didnt try the food nor see anyone else partaking!
A nice location to sit and have a sleepy afternoon but otherwise better places to frequent.
Will definitely go into the pub next time!

Stop number 3 on a Kolsch bar-hop through the center of Cologne. We didn't enter the brauhaus, so this review is based on what I'll term the beer garden in front.
There were shady tables with seating for maybe 150 people, very comfortable at the end of a long day of travel. The servers were extremely fast, and although we only ordered beers I saw that the food menu looked extensive. It included all the great classics, pork knuckle included.
The Kolsch was surprisingly good. I'll leave my decriptions of the beer to the beer review, but I'll say here that it's a great reason to come to this particular brauhaus. Among the best I tried while in Cologne.

This was the first place I visited after arriving in Cologne. The food was good - we had Pork knuckle with sauerkraut and mash. The Kolsch was a shock to begin with, but it was first experience with kolsch vom fass, so I soon got used to it and found it quite nice.
The place is your typical beer hall type arrangement with some nice lights and decorations for the current carnival going on in the city (clown related?)
Solid, but nothing exceptional to make it a stand out. I would definitely go back in if I was passing.

The food here was exactly what we were looking for...meat and potatoes cooked perfectly. I ordered the Brauhaus-Teller which is two veal schitzels served with fried potatoes and my girlfriend got a Bratwurst with Potato Salad. All of the food was extremely delicious and I would definitely go there again. Their only beer is their Kolsch, which is the standard for all brewpubs there. It is served in very small .2L glasses and is very light and refreshing and went well with the meal. The waiter was extremely helpful and spoke English very well.

BY Tom James Tribune Star
The Washington Times-Herald
---- — INDIANAPOLIS — While injuries continue to pile up for the Indianapolis Colts, the team's attitude remains pretty much the same. Just keep playing.
Coming off Sunday's 37-3 shellacking of winless Jacksonville, the Colts head into this week's home game with undefeated Seattle with three offensive starters – running back Vick Ballard, offensive guard Donald Thomas and tight end Dwayne Allen – sidelined for the season.
Running back Ahmad Bradshaw, signed as a veteran free agent last spring, started against San Francisco last week but missed Sunday's game at Jacksonville with neck issues. He was replaced by recently acquired running back Trent Richardson.
Defense has had their share of injuries too. Safety LaRon Landry has missed multiple games with a sprained ankle. Defensive tackle Ricky Jean Francois sat out the Jaguars game with a strained groin. And it was announced on Monday that rookie outside linebacker Bjoern Werner will be out four to six weeks with a torn plantar fascia on his right foot.
The team's response? So what.
"We are a team that never panics," veteran wide receiver Reggie Wayne admitted after the Jaguars game. "We just work the process and continue to play ball. We never get too high or too low. We just play all four quarters and at the end of the game look at the scoreboard and see what happens. Hopefully we can keep riding this wave and keep playing ball. It's exciting, especially in the way we are winning in all three phases of the game."
Colts head coach Chuck Pagano agrees.
"This is the National Football League. Every game and every team is tough. For [Indianapolis] to play as consistent in back-to-back weeks was good. And we are getting better and better," Pagano voiced.
"I am really proud of this football team. We are going to know who we are and stick to that identity. We are going to go back [after the Jaguars win] and fix things we are going to need to fix and move into [this] week."
The Seahawks are coming off an overtime win over AFC South champion Houston on Sunday.
"Great football team. Pete Carroll is one of the best coaches in the league. They've got a roster that is filled with excellent football players on both sides of the ball," he said. "They've got a quarterback [Russell Wilson] that's a nightmare to contain and handle. We got our hands full."
Werner sidelined -- The injury to the Colts' 2013 first-round draft pick initially didn't appear to be serious. But that attitude changed Monday after Werner had gone through a magnetic resonance imaging test.
"Bad news there for Bjoern but he'll be back," Pagano said, adding that fullback Stanley Havili incurred a mild ankle sprain against the Jaguars. He is not expected to play this week against Seattle. The Colts added fullback Robert Hughes to the active roster Monday and waived wide receiver Griff Whalen. Hughes was with Indianapolis last year and was released at the end of training camp. Whalen may return to Indianapolis as a member of the practice squad if he clears waivers.
Pagano said that Werner had been playing better in recent games, working as the primary backup to outside linebacker Erik Walden.
"Getting better every week. He was trending in the right direction. We talked last week about he's getting more comfortable. You could see the confidence level rising," the Colts coach said. "Scheme-wise, he wasn't thinking, he was playing faster, so it's a shame that [the injury] happened. But it's part of the game."
Landry remains on day-to-day status. Center Samson Satele (elbow) is expected to return to a full practice routine this week and start against the Seahawks. Jean Francois is also listed as day-to-day on the injury list.
Brazill returns -- Wide receiver LaVon Brazill returns to the active roster this week after sitting out the first four games of the season. Brazill had been suspended for violations of the NFL's substance abuse program. Indianapolis doesn't have to make a roster move in order to create room for the talented second-year receiver.
"We don't have to do anything. He's back to practice but he's exempt coming off the suspension, so you get to practice him for a week and you don't have to do anything. You get an exemption," the Colts coach explained. "We don't have to do anything so that's the beauty of the deal. He's been here under his suspension. He's been here the whole time. Only thing he couldn't do is practice. But he could meet, lift in the weight room and do all those kind of things. Run on his own. Couldn't do anything with the team. So he stayed in it mentally so now we get the luxury of bringing him back out and letting him practice now."
No decision has been made as to whether Brazill will play against the Seahawks later this week.
"We'll throw him back out there at practice this week. We've got guys to get ready for Seattle. We'll see where he's at from a mental standpoint. We'll see where he's at from a physical standpoint this week during practice. Again, we have the luxury. We don't have to make any decisions for a while. So we'll get to see where he's at," Pagano said. "Certainly you can look back at what he did last year. We know what type of receiver he is. He's got big-play potential. He made the big play against Detroit I think it was at the end of that game. We don't get back in that game. He's certainly got the ability to make big plays in the pass game. He was an excellent special-teamer if I recall right running down on kicks and things like that. We'll just have to wait and see."

It's "No Shave November" for the Spalding University Baseball team. Traditionally a clean shaven bunch, the Spalding University Baseball team decided to grow out the facial hair to bring awareness to the fight against diabetes.
Jeff Gersch, freshman outfielder from Joliet, IL, inspired the event. Jeff complained of dizziness and blurred vision, which resulted in Jeff missing the remainder of fall practice and our SU World Series. After further testing and countless doctor visits, Jeff was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes and is currently using a pump system to regulate his insulin levels.
People could go online at www.spaldingubaseball.com and donate with their vote for the best facial hair. The goal was to raise $1000 for the American Diabetes Association.
Today the hair came off.
In one last push to collect more money for the cause, WDRB's Keith Kaiser had a little fun with the boys as the shaving began. Of course, you can't grow out beards without contests like "Who has the better beard?" and "Which beard can hold more toothpicks?"

AAJ: Transportation Agencies Need to Quickly Enact Safety Standards
Safety Board Rules Severity of Crash Due to Delay in Agency Action
Washington, DC—The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) recently concluded driver fatigue, and the lack of federal safety standards protecting passengers on buses, contributed to the death and severity of the injuries sustained in the 2008 Utah bus rollover which killed nine and injured 43. In response, the American Association for Justice (AAJ) is calling on transportation regulators to review pending pre-Obama administration regulations and open new rulemaking proceedings to enhance commercial transportation safety measures for both trucks and buses.
The NTSB cited the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) slowness in failing to implement new safety standards as a factor contributing to the Utah crash. Pending safety regulations in the transportation industry include on-board electronic recorders to monitor a driver's hours of operation and prevent fatigue, seatbelts, and stronger roofs and windows; all recommendations NTSB has been calling on the agency to enact for nearly a decade.
"The finding from the NTSB shows how the public is endangered when federal agencies drag their feet," said AAJ Director of Regulatory Affairs Gerie Voss. "The Obama administration must make updating transportation safety standards a priority."
Commercial buses are not the only dangers on the nation's roads. According to NTSB, large commercial trucks also lack similar safety measures to protect drivers and the public. Currently, there are no roof crush standards for commercial motor vehicles, including trucks and buses, and a prevalent safety problem in the trucking industry is companies ignoring driver fatigue.
For example, on March 12 the NTSB sent a letter to the American Trucking Associations (ATA) asking the industry group to raise awareness about the dangers of driver fatigue. The letter was in response to another investigation by NTSB that determined a 2005 fatal trucking accident occurred after the driver fell asleep at the wheel.
"The transportation industry has been aware of these problems for years, if not decades, and they have done nothing about it. Current federal standards are needed to save lives," said Tennessee attorney Morgan Adams, a leading expert on commercial vehicle safety. "Driver fatigue is a killer and it will continue to kill until the government takes action. There is no question some corporations will overwork employees, and ignore problems, in order to earn another dollar."
According to a March 2009 study in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 3.9 million of the nation's 14 million commercial vehicle drivers could be affected by sleep apnea, a leading cause of driver fatigue.

The Salem News
---- — Barack Obama isn't the first president to attempt to bypass traditional news media and become his own news agency, but he may be the most successful at it. The rest of us should be concerned.
Presidents owe it to the public to take tough questions and answer them as thoroughly as they can. Societies dependent on democratic principles cannot function properly when their elected officials are allowed to do end-runs around the checks and balances that have been built into the system.
This White House has not only discovered social media, it has embraced it — some say exploited it — like never before. A photo of the Obamas hugging on Election Day 2012 is the world's most popular Twitter tweet. Various YouTube images showing the president at his best — all of them produced by the Obama communications machine — are everywhere.
What's not everywhere is the president answering to the public. The Associated Press is now calling him on it, charging that Obama is limiting press access "in ways that past administrations wouldn't have dared."
When he has given press access, it is often in controlled settings with friendly reporters. It's not just Republicans who have noticed. Mike McCurry, President Bill Clinton's former press secretary, has charged the president with tactics "I would have never dreamed of in terms of restricting access."
It is time that the press, as well as the public, demand that the president be more accountable.

The "crop drop" is being sponsored by the Community Food Bank of Central Alabama. Local partners include First Baptist Church of Jasper and First United Methodist Church of Jasper.
Food Bank represenative Amanda Storey said at a local event on Monday that the Food Bank works with the Society of St. Andrew, a national faith-based nonprofit that salvages fresh produce.
"When a farmer has a plethera of produce available, they are able to donate those items. It's beneficial to them. It doesn't go to waste, and we are able to get it out for free to the community," Storey said.
In 2013, Society of St. Andrew rescued 32.4 million pounds of food with help from 38,000 volunteers.
Bagging will begin at 9 a.m. on Saturday in the FBC parking lot. The first five-pound bags of apples will be distributed to area agencies at 10 a.m.
To register to receive the apples, email Deb White at firstname.lastname@example.com.
To volunteer, call Mary Lynn Botts at 205-245-3214, 256-658-7555 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
