A 56-year-old woman died after her home caught fire early Tuesday morning near the Davidson-Cheatham County line.
The fire broke out just after 4 a.m. in the 2100 block of Bracey Circle off Old Charlotte Pike.
When fire officials arrived, the home, a doublewide trailer, was fully engulfed in flames. The roof collapsed and most walls burnt to the ground.
Family members identified the victim as Joyce Callis.
Officials told Nashville's News 2 her husband escaped and attempted to save his wife.
Callis, who was paralyzed in a motorcycle accident in 2008, was found dead in the bedroom by firefighters.
Her husband Mike was taken to Ashland City Medical Center with first degree burns and chest pains, but was treated and released.
Callis, the youngest of seven children, would've celebrated her 57th birthday on July 17.
Her sister, Betty Felts, told Nashville's News 2 Callis was a "quadriplegic, with only the use of a finger, but she was an inspiration to all."
She said her sister "would use that little finger" to make her motorized wheelchair "go up and down" the road in front of her home.
"Now she's walkin' and dancin' in a better place," added the victim's grieving sister. "She was my little sister, but I know she's now with our parents."
Felts said her youngest sibling was known to "just about everybody" because she used to work in a grocery store in nearby Joelton.
After the Callis' family gathered in a prayer circle, all of them planned to wait until their relative's body was removed from the home.
The slowly left the scene after investigators took the body of Joyce Callis to the medical examiner's office in Nashville which is customary in all fire deaths.
In a statement released to media outlets, the victims family said in part, "Joyce
grew up in Bordeaux but lived in Joelton TN since the early 1980's. Joyce was
well known in the city of Joelton, TN and we are thankful for all those who
have shown her love and reached out to her over the years after her accident in
2008 which left her paralyzed. Joyce's presence, smile and laughter will be
missed greatly by her family. Her strength in the midst of all opposition
will always be a great inspiration to all who knew her. Joyce had no
enemies. Joyce loved everybody."
The family statement went on to say, "We
pray for her husband Mike and his family. We grieve but yet we can
rejoice even in this tragedy today, for our sister has met Jesus face to face, ... She never complained about her circumstance, she always
laughed and prayed,"
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
According to officials with the Pleasant View Volunteer Fire Department, the home was not protected by fire sprinklers and it is unknown if there were working smoke alarms inside.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - Very few of us would be comfortable with someone knowing our every move, but privacy is a tradeoff. We give little bits of information about ourselves in exchange for security or convenience, but the amount of information out there may surprise you. Could it be that even our cars are spying on us?
Driving is the time most of us can unplug to be alone with our thoughts. But these days, we are rarely truly disconnected, and all that convenience comes at a cost.
"If you chose to do these things, you will lose a lot of your privacy," said Dr. Adel Elmaghraby, computer science and computer engineering chair at University of Louisville's Speed School. Elmaghraby said to think of your vehicle as a complex network of computer systems.
"They evolved from just one unit to multi units, then they became networks of computers within the car," Elmaghraby said. "Then came the GPS, came the entertainment systems, came the cell phones. They all became connected to the same network."
Just who has access to that network is hard to say. Elmaghraby said in general, the network is not locked down through security systems that we're familiar with on our home and work computers. He said experiments at some universities have demonstrated that vehicles are vulnerable to hacking.
"Someone could drive by your car or send your car messages which could, in a sense, make it appear like you are doing it," Elmaghraby said. "It could affect what your car is going to do. Maybe efficiency, maybe even if the car is moving, it could force it to go to a different direction."
A "drive-by hacker" could also access information that your car has stored in its computer systems.
"Everything we do is being collected in some sort of electronic database," pointed out UofL Law School Professor Michael Losavio.
Losavio said many of us have invited complete strangers into our cars without even knowing it through what's technically called telematics: location and emergency systems like GM's OnStar or Toyota's Safety Connect. It could provide a world of information about you. [Read on to find GM and Toyota's privacy policies for these systems.]
"If someone gets access to your GPS track," Losavio said, "they can see that you went to an oncologist's office. So now they know that there's a pretty good chance that you're being at least examined for cancer, and that can have huge repercussions on a person's life."
You may be saying, "Well, I don't have GPS systems, so this doesn't apply to me." But chances are if your car was made in the last 10 years, what you do have is something that is commonly called a "black box." Its real name is "event data recorder," and it's used in the event of a crash. The government is considering making them mandatory.
Just who should have access to information recorded by EDRs is still a fierce debate.
Nate Cardoza, a staff attorney at the non-profit Electronic Frontier Foundation, said there is no limit to the amount and type of information these recorders collect or how far back that information might go. [You can find a question and answer section from Cardoza at the bottom of this story.]
Already your car records a wide variety of information in its power train control module or electronic control module when the check engine light comes on and it's time to go to the mechanic. The government made it mandatory in many vehicles made after 1996 in a program requiring On Board Diagnostics, a computer system built into your car.
Losavio said once you give that information up when it's accessed by a dealership or a mechanic, you no longer control who has access to it, including insurance companies and law enforcement.
"What if they go to the dealership and say, 'Can we see all of the records regarding what this person has been doing with their car?' The dealership can say, 'Well, sure,'" according to Losavio.
As with so many things that involve rapidly evolving technology, lawmakers need to act to outline who can collect that information, what they can do with it and whether they can sell it to third parties, Losavio said.
"I think if you know that people are monitoring you, you can make that decision," Losavio said.
Until then, Elmaghraby says the best advice may be to play it safe even in what you believe is the privacy of your own car.
"Only do things that you are willing that the whole world will know," Elmaghraby said.
WAVE 3 contacted the two automobile makers mentioned in this story to inquire about privacy policies. Brian Lyons, Safety and Technology Communications Manager with Toyota, provided the following explanation of both the electronic data recorder and Safety Connect:
Safety Connect
Toyota uses customer data to deploy and enable the subscribed to benefits of the Safety Connect service and this data is maintained in a highly secure infrastructure. If a customer no longer wishes to subscribe to Safety Connect, the hardware is shut off, the services will not work and no data can be transmitted.
Safety Connect is a subscription based service that is available on a limited number of Toyota vehicles and standard on Lexus vehicles. Safety Connect provides automatic crash notification, SOS emergency button, stolen vehicle location, and enhanced roadside assistance. To perform these services Toyota's vendor must know the vehicle's location, otherwise they would not be able to provide the services. The vehicle's location is only transmitted to the vendor upon activation of the services, for example: airbag deployment or the SOS button is pressed. No data is sent unless the customer uses the service. The vehicle location information only applies to the time of the incident and it is only shared with 3rd parties to provide the EMS service (fire, ambulance, police). The data is stored by the vendor in a secure system that has multiple levels of IT and physical security. The data that is wirelessly transmitted contains the vehicle location, direction, and a unique number; it does not contain the customer's name or vehicle identification number (VIN). There are numerous proprietary methods to ensure that the data transmitted by the vehicle is only sent to Toyota's vendor.
If the vehicle is stolen the customer is required to file a police report first and then provide the police report number to Toyota. Toyota will attempt to remotely activate the stolen vehicle tracking function and if the vehicle is located then this location will only be provided to the police, it will not be provided to the customer.
The Safety Connect service is included in the vehicle sale for the first year of ownership and the customer may opt out of the service which means Toyota will remotely turn off the internal hardware and therefore the services. Also, if the customer does not renew their subscription after that first year Toyota will remotely turn off the hardware and services. Once the hardware is turned off it will no longer transmit any data (no services will work) until the customer re-activates the service.
If Toyota Motor Credit Corporation (TMCC) requests that we locate a vehicle because of alleged fraud or breach of lease or loan agreement then we will work to locate the vehicle.
Lexus vehicles also have Safety Connect, plus the ability for the customer to speak to an operator who will locate a destination and send it to the vehicle navigation system while the customer is driving to help avoid driver distraction. Also, there is a feature that allows the customer before his or her trip to pick out their destinations online and then send to their vehicle navigation system. These systems have the same set of security as previously mentioned.
There are some Lexus vehicles that transmit vehicle diagnostic codes (but not the location) to Lexus engineers. During enrollment or at any time the customer can opt out of this capability, but still use the other services. If the customer does not renew their subscription then Lexus will remotely shut off the hardware none of these services will work including the ability to send vehicle diagnostic codes.
Event data recorder (owner's manual content)
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a vehicle's systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:
• How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
• Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fastened;
• How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and
• How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur.
NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) are recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.
Disclosure of the EDR data
Toyota will not disclose the data recorded in an EDR to a third party except when:
However, if necessary, Toyota will:
OnStar Communications Manager Cheryl McCarron provided this statement:
For OnStar, nothing is more important than the safety and security of our subscribers and their family. We apply that belief to every aspect of our service – including the protection of information. We use the information we collect to provide the products and services that the subscriber requests, for troubleshooting, analysis, and research, safety, to prevent fraud or misuse, to tell subscribers about other OnStar or GM products or services, and for litigation resolution. In general, we do not share personal information with third-party marketers, unless we have asked for and obtained explicit consent.
Our privacy statement is available at www.onstar.com.
Ford Motor Company Safety Communications Manager Kelli Felker provided this statement:
The SYNC 911 Assist feature uses your cell phone to call 911 just as if you called 911 on a handheld phone; that information is not stored.
To answer your question about event data recorders, they record information – such as air bag deployment, vehicle speed and pedal positions – which can be used to help analyze accidents and inform the development of future innovations. Ford continues to recognize our customers' privacy and does not access event data recorder information without obtaining consent, or unless required by law.
Nate Cardoza of the Electronic Frontier Foundation provided the answers to the following questions in an email exchange:
What do we know about specifically the range of data that is being collected?
Very little. We know the minimum data points that are required by NHTSA regulation. Those include things like accelerator and brake pedal position, seat belt engagement, engine rpm, airbag status, lateral movement. However, manufacturers are free to include any data they want in the black box, and if they do so, they don't have to disclose that collection to the driver. For instance, if they were to include GPS location data in the black box, you would have no way of knowing.
How far back might the collection go?
You have no way of knowing. Again, the regulations specify only a minimum collection time frame (the last 5 seconds before a crash); however, nothing prevents manufacturers collecting data over a much longer time frame. Days or months would be feasible. And again, they're not required to disclose the length of time they have data.
Who should you expect to be able to access that information?
Anyone with physical access to the car, at a minimum. The port is unlocked and easily accessible in almost all cars. That means your mechanic certainly has access, as does any state safety inspector. My organization believes that if law enforcement wants access, they must first obtain a warrant, but we understand that some law enforcement agencies may think otherwise. For some newer cars that include internet access in their infotainment systems, EDR data may be accessible remotely. Several states have passed laws that prohibit insurance companies from requiring access to the EDR as a condition of coverage, but in most states, the companies are free to do so.
The NHTSA has proposed rules to make black boxes mandatory in all cars. I submitted formal comments to that proposed rule, requesting that the regulations force manufacturers to disclose all the data points that they collect and for how long. I also requested that the regulations include a statement that the driver has an expectation that the data remain private.
Here's my write up of the comments: https://www.eff.org/press/releases/mandatory-black-boxes-cars-raise-privacy-questions.

You may not have noticed, as there's been absolutely no marketing, or themed TV episodes, or party invitations, but it's Halloween again. The Playlist team are already assembling their collective Human Centipede outfit for the weekend, but if you're not keen on fancy dress, or maybe just fancy a night in with a movie, what are your options?
In theaters, they're not great -- "Paranormal Activity 2" is surprisingly ok, but you may have already caught that last weekend. "Saw 3D" hits theaters today, but hopefully you're crossing the road to avoid that one already. We'd recommend "Let Me In" if you can find anywhere that's still showing it, but otherwise maybe it's time to hit the classics.
Inspired by the season, by the release of "Paranormal Activity 2," and by the banging we hear in the attic at night, we've compiled a list of 10 of our favorites from one of the most prominent horror sub-genres: the haunted house picture. Next year sees two new haunted house flicks that are getting some decent buzz: the Guillermo del Toro-produced "Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark," and "Insidious," from original "Saw" helmer James Wan, and further down the line we'll see Daniel Radcliffe taking on one of the classics of the genre, "The Woman In Black." So, what better time to pick out our 10, which should provide a decent night's entertainment over the holiday weekend. Check them out after the jump.
And if you missed it last year, you can check out our Halloween feature on the Best Horror Scores of all time here.
"Hausu" (1977)
When Robert Rodriguez consults his son, Racer, about what he wants to see in a movie, Troublemaker Films gave us "Shorts." But when Nobuhiko Obayashi asked his 12 year old what she wanted to see in a movie, we got "Hausu." Advantage: Obayashi. To limit "Hausu" to the genre of horror comedy is to ignore a film that is completely bent in every way, a celebration of all things peculiar. The story concerns a group of girls away at a summer home run by a ghostly aunt, but that neglects to mention the omniscient cat, the carnivorous piano, and the pools of stop-motion blood that populate this mad, one-of-a-kind film. Fans of "The Evil Dead" will find a lot to worship, but so will true lovers of camp: "Hausu" moves herky-jerkily from set piece to set piece with the sort of pacing given to musicals with expository surrounding tissue. And then a head is chopped off, but the good vibes remain, creating perhaps the cheeriest, most infectious blood bath in cinematic history. To see "Hausu" is to love "Hausu." As you'll have seen from our review yesterday, a shiny new Criterion edition hit stores this week, and is well worth picking up.
"Session 9" (2001)
There are few horror movie locations as terrifying as the Danvers State Mental Hospital in Massachusetts. Brad Anderson, a director who works wonders with atmosphere, didn't have to do much to make the setting a character in its own right. As a result, "Session 9," dealing with an overstressed asbestos removal team in the location, alternates between upsetting shock scares and unnerving moments of characters beginning to question their own sanity. The story gradually comes apart, but it's the details (particularly a truly unsettling series of audiotapes) that let "Session 9" truly inhabit the darkest areas of the mind. It helps that the cast, including Peter Mullan, Josh Lucas, veteran character actor Paul Guilfoyle, horror vet Larry Fessenden and, in an almost unique occurrence, a decent performance from David Caruso, are a cut above the disposable teens you usually find in this kind of thing. The film more-or-less disappeared on release, but it's gained a cult following since, and it's well worth tracking down.
Val Lewton's Valet | October 10, 2013 1:36 PM
Two suggestions to add to this list:
1. Coraline (2009)
I know, I know, it's for kids. Except it's not just for kids because it is super creepy. And for one very good reason: few cinematic characters have ever demonstrated as much treacly menace as The Other Mother. This is the only movie that I really wish I had seen in 3-D. I would put this one ahead of Monster House by at least 2 lengths. Not that Monster House is bad -- it's really quite entertaining. But Coraline has the goods. And the old, creaky house setting is fun.
2. The Seventh Victim (1943)
Stay with me here. I know it is not a haunted "house", per se, but the movie creates places -- a Greenwich Village apartment building and the shadowy New York streets surrounding it -- that have palpable menace. You have a sense of place and you just know something sinister is going on there, even if it isn't clear whether it has any supernatural origin. Very creepy.
Jake | April 26, 2013 5:29 PM
Best haunted house comedy is "The Selling"
MishuPishu | October 31, 2010 11:49 AM
Nice. Poltergeist scared the crap out of me when I was a kid but The Shining always creeps me out (it's almost scary how well-made the movie is).
Another film, made back in the late 90's, that is off the radar but has a cool independent creepy style is The Eternal, with an old house in the countryside where Christopher Walken plans to pass the spirit of an ancient druid witch into an unsuspecting Allison Elliot.
TheoC | October 29, 2010 8:14 AM
Poltergeist was the last movie to scare me, well that and the Happening(just mark wahlberg), I really want see the innocents now.
Great feature this week, well done.
taptup | October 29, 2010 7:41 AM
@ Lookf4r
Considering the limited range of elements on which horror movies are based, I'd say that's the only similarity.
Good feature, but I can understand why Kevin didn't sign (whatever?)
The Playlist | October 29, 2010 4:54 AM
randy | October 29, 2010 4:50 AM
this is the best feature ever.
Lookf4r | October 29, 2010 4:05 AM
I watched the changeling and the similarities to the ring blew my mind. Specifically the portion where he goes on his investigation to the rural hotel and find a hole in the floor concealing a well with a dead body.

IP/Gender Call for Papers
Abstracts Due: August 25, 2014
The Women in the Law Program and the Program on Information Justice and Intellectual Property of American University Washington College of Law announce a Call for Papers for the Eleventh Annual IP/Gender Symposium. This year, we will engage in a broad discussion "Reimagining IP/Gender: The Next Ten Years of Feminist Engagement with Intellectual Property Law." The symposium will take place in Washington, DC in February 2015.
The Women and the Law Program
Since 1984 the Women and the Law Program has promoted the integration of women's rights and gender studies into legal education, practice and doctrine. To foster the study and teaching of gender and international or comparative law, the program expanded to include a Women and International Law Program in 1994.
The Women and the Law Program emphasizes the role of law and legal education in transforming women's status around the world. The program challenges assumptions about the role of women in the family, civil society, and governance in domestic, international and transnational institutions. However, engaging in either academic study or advocacy alone is not enough if the people who make the legal and political decisions that shape women's lives- judges, lawyers and policy makers- ignore the concerns of women. Therefore, the program seeks to influence the thinking of political and social leaders who hold the power to address the legal dimensions of gender inequality. We aim to transform the training of lawyers and scholars so that they leave law school with an awareness of their power and obligation to remove the legal barriers to women's full participation in society.
Our program works at multiple levels to integrate gender into legal education by:
Encouraging the development of feminist legal thought;
Educating emerging legal scholars in gender studies;
Creating supportive networks of feminist scholars, practitioners and activists;
Disseminating scholarly and teaching materials that integrate gender into the study of law in specific contexts.

It's been a busy decade for Michael J. Fox and wife Tracy Pollan. Since the actor was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in 1991, the two have raised $230 million for the Michael J. Fox Foundation, whose mission is to fund scientific research on the disease. "He knows them all," Pollan said of the scientific terms Fox has picked up along the way. "I'm smart enough to surround myself with people that are smarter than me," her husband explained.To celebrate Parkinson's Awareness Month, Pollan and Fox hosted a charity shopping fête at Ralph Lauren's Madison Avenue men's store last night. On the fashion connection, Pollan called it "unbelievable timing." "We were shopping at the Ralph Lauren store in the Hamptons, because our son Sam is a big fan, and we were talking about an idea that Tracy's had for years," Fox explained. "It was to do this dog tag necklace for Parkinson's—they connote service, we have total respect for the military, and in a way it's honoring them. It just so happened that Jerry Lauren was there and overheard."Ralph's brother eventually brought the fashion company and the foundation together, and the silver dog tags finally made their debut. Priced at $98, all proceeds from each tag went to the foundation. Ralph and Ricky Lauren and Tom Selleck stopped in early before guests such as Barbara Walters, Christine Baranski, and Matt Bomer packed the quarters. Partway through, David Lauren hopped on the mic to say a few words. "I grew up watching your shows," he said to Fox. "I thought, 'Oh God, he is the coolest guy.' " Nearby, Dylan Lauren told Style.com, "Family Ties was my favorite. I still watch the reruns. The funny thing is that I recently befriended Justine Bateman. It's like completing the circle."

12oz bottle, bottled 2/11/11. Pours a clear dark reddish amber with a medium off white head that quickly goes to a thin film that leaves some lacing.
The aroma is a whole lot of sour - some tart fruit with some vinous alcohol and some wood.
The flavor is sweet tart and sour fruits with some wood and some vinous alcohol leading to a dry, acidic, bretty, finish. As it warms it gets a little musty and leathery. The alcohol is surprisingly well hidden. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with smooth carbonation.
Overall, an excellent, complex sour. It's a little on the acidic side, but overall, well balanced.

Thanks to thirdeye11 for sharing this bottle.
The beer pours an orange color with a white head. The aroma is great. I get a lot of tart fruit and some toffee malt. I could smell this beer all day long.
The flavor is full of tart strawberries with some toffee mixed in. The beer is fairly sour and is very dry and very drinkable. There is also a little bit of funk mixed into the flavor. Very nice.
Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

Amber colored pour, thin head. Aroma was mildly tart, didn't reveal the alcohol, slightly vinegary, cheesy and flowery.
Taste, somewhat disappointed, didn't really bring the sour, was more of a kind of muddled profile, wasn't crisp, refreshing, sour that I was looking for based on its appearance. Didn't pull any distinct fruit flavor from it, it was just kind of this earthy, flower and mild sour feel. Old sock funk drives its flavor profile more than sour.

12oz bottle into an Avery Tulip.
Pours a rusty copper with a thin off white head. Looks rather still, not showing any bubbles moving through the body.
Nose is tart, with elements of sweet fruits, tart vinegar, and a touch of funk.
Taste is interesting. The beer has a sweet/sour thing going on, but rather than a fruit sweetness it's more of an alcohol sweetness. I keep thinking this should be called a "Sour English Barleywine." I'm not getting any of the Cabernet, but I'm no expert in wine.
Mouth is heavy. It's not bad, but it doesn't have that dry, crisp quality that so many great American Wilds display. It is moderately carbonated.
Overall, an interesting take on the American Wild style. Worth a look, but not the best in category.

Sampled on-tap multiple times at Brewvival.
Pours a slightly hazy light amber color with a one-finger slightly off-white head. The head recedes into a wispy layer on top leaving decent lacing.
Smells of medium malts with large amounts of lightly tart red cherry and raspberry aromas. Also present are light hints of funk and larger amounts of vanilla from the oak.
Tastes similar to how it smells, though not as complex. Medium malt flavors kick things off and are joined quickly by hints of vanilla and larger tart cherry flavors. Midway through the sip some funkiness dries things out a bit, carrying through to a crisp ending.
Mouthfeel is good. It's got a nice thickness with smooth carbonation.
Drinkability is also good. I didn't have any problems finishing my glass and could have another.
Overall this was one of the more mild sours I've had from Avery. Easy-drinking but lacking the complexity and bite from their better attempts at the sour beer. Still, worth a shot if you see it around.

Bottled Feb. 11, 2011.
12oz foil wrapped bottle served cool into a goblet.
Dihos Dactylion pours a pretty redish brown color with good clarity. The head is fizzy and so it settles quickly.
Aroma is really what strikes me first about the beer. Before I've even poured it into the glass, the sour wild yeast makes itself known. With my nose in the glass, I get more of the dark fruit, red wine, and oak.
Flavor is also really enjoyable and full of depth. Sweet black cherries lead things off before it starts to get all sour and tart towards the middle. The cab barrels come forward with oak derrived vanilla and tannins. It actually has a pretty tannic finish too with the sour flavors coming back at the end.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied with good balance for a wild ale. Not too sour to enjoy the entire bottle. The alcohol is faily mellow even after just five months of aging.
Overall a really nice sour and probably one of my favorites in the series.

Pours peachy orange with but a little white head surrounding it, yielding miraculous lace as I finish from my Tops goblet. Somewhat Bretty musty yeasty aroma. The taste from the get go is outstanding. A full mouthfeel of fruit, with grape in the background, olives, pickle juice, apricot. A palate cleanser. Just what the Doc ordered, thanks JMBSH.

Thanks to OtisCampbell for this one. Poured from a 12oz. bottle into Lost Abbey stemware. Bottled 2/11/11.
Pour yields a 1.5 finger light pink cream colored head with low retention that dissipates into a thick ring around the glass. Beer is a semi-cloudy muddy peach. Not the most attractive color. Lacing is patchy and patterned with good cling though.
Nose is sufficiently funky. Sour red fruit along with some oak notes. Wet hay with a subtle wine-like characteristic. Not the most aromatic but clean and appetizing.
Opens soft cherries. Spices up quickly with some clove and a huge tartness that erupts in the middle. Vanilla and sour cherries and raspberry notes. A touch of woodiness. End is puckering with some Brett funk. Fruity. Finish is some wine-like tartness. Aftertaste is clean. Rather intense in a good way with a nice earthy backbone. Impressive.
Light to medium bodied with ample carbonation. Crisp and lively in the mouth and goes down abrasive and puckering. Finish is filmy with a clean aftertaste. Appropriate and rather amazing considering the ABV.
That this beer is 10.3% is pretty astounding. There's almost no booziness and the alcohol is all but undetectable. Not exactly smooth but very easily drinkable and crisp and refreshing. Definitely a standout in the series.

3.53/5 rDev -14.3%
Poured into a small snifter. Pours a ruby sort of amber ish. Hazy. Thin white head dissipated to nothing but a thin ring. No lacing.
Aroma smells super sour. Super funky too. Bit of sour cherry.
Taste is not as good as expected according to the aroma. It's really plain. Really just a bit of that Bret funk with a bit of tartness. It really needs some more tart and flavor.
Mouthfeel is nice and dry. Good high carb.
Overall an ok beer. Not worth the price for the 12 oz though.

Had while at Brewvival! Served from tap into a sampler Brewvival imperial pint. Poured a reddish brown with a half finger off-white head that subsided quickly to a minimal amount. There was no lacing evident throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt, tart cherries, and sour. The flavor was of sweet malt, fruit, tart cherries, and a nice sour followthrough. It had a light feel on the palate with high carbonation. Overall this was another winning sour on the day. Avery really brought they A-game to this event. Really glad that I got the chance to try this one as the flavor was very nicely balanced and all aspects worked really well together. Even the aroma was quite nice. This is an absolute must try for anyone out there.

Poured from 12oz bottle. Thanks to SuperNova777 for opening this bottle for a couple of us.
A- Pours a coppery amber color. Two finger white head shows great retention that ends up lightly capping the top of my beer. Nice streaky/sheety lacing on the sides of the glass when I took each sip.
S- This is interesting to say the least. I picked this up first and another couple people said the same thing. It smelled of some soured vinegar upfront. Nothing wrong with this of course....which leads to the next aroma. Tuna fish...as weird as this sounds this was a huge aroma as well. I mean canned tuna like scent. Like I said I had others agree with me on this one. After this there was a barnyard funk that went along with the style of the beer. Alcohol was light in the nose in the ending. Oddly enough this beer didn't have a horrible smell it was just well...disinteresting to me.
T- This beer starts off with a nice vinegar like sourness to it. Good start I think...haha. Next comes that damn tuna fish flavor. Like I said it tasted to me just like a fresh opened can of tuna. It wasn't horrible to be honest but not what I was looking for in what I thought was a soured beer..haha. Ending shows off some horseblanket barnyard funk. Alcohol comes in the very ending with a hint of vinegar as well. The flavor profile was pretty much dead on to what I was smelling...it wasn't too terrible but not what I was looking for in my flavor profile.
M- Medium mouthfeel. Carbonation was good for the style I thought. Barnyard funk and tuna fish are left on the palate. Aftertaste showed a little tuna fish, alcohol, barnyard funk and hints of vinegar. Flavors were not out of balance but with such funky flavors I suppose it was in balance. No real off flavors?? Tuna fish I suppose was a off flavor but I couldn't tell of any other. High alcohol drying on the palate.
O- This beer was interesting. Not horrible but nothing that I would be seeking out again. ABV really isn't a huge part of this beer until it drys out the ending. Like I said the tuna fish flavor and scent was not only picked out by me in the group but others as well. Don't know what that was about oh well...can't win them all.

Bottle into Goblet, bottled 2/11/2011
A - A hazy amber with a slightly red hue, 1 finger head disappeared quickly to a minimal crown 3.5
S - Fruity in the front, sweet malts amongst a general sourness, raspberries & banana 4.5
T - Wow tangy sour start, cherry/berry notes, slightly medicinal, a bit of an astringent finish, definitely a red wine tannin quality to it, a bitterness throughout the whole taste I'm unable to describe without more wild ales under my belt 4.0

Poured from the bottle into my Lost Abbey stemware.
Pours a beautiful clear, copper red, with a thick inch of tan head that is leaving behind gobs of lacing. Bubbles are very easily seen racing up the edges of the glass to keep the head lasting. The head does last the entire time as well. By far the most impressive looking sour ale I've seen. Excited for this one.
Smell is exactly like a glass of fine red wine. Very strong oak aromas with huge bursts of dark fruits coming through. There's actually not much acidity in the nose. Just a nice little tingle at the end of a huge breath in.
Taste is extremely oaky. It kind of works though. It covers up a lot of the complexity that I was getting in the nose, but it was still a great base flavor to have.
Good mouth feel with the nice dry finish you'd expect in a glass of cabernet. Medium to full bodied with slightly high carbonation, but it made this 10.3% extremely easy to drink. Quite a refreshing beer for such a high ABV.
I've been craving a good wild ale for a good week or two now, and I'm really glad I chose this one to get my fix. I have a few more bottles of this and I'm really curious to see what some time will do to this beer. Highly recommend giving this one a shot.

"The program gave us a unique opportunity to learn about renewable energy and sustainability through our coursework while simultaneously exposing us to an environment where our knowledge was overwhelmingly applicable. There is nowhere else in the world that allows for such open exploration of renewable energy practices both in and outside of the classroom."
-- Evan Blom, program alum
Examine the physical processes of energy utilization as well as the economics and environmental impacts of energy use across diverse regions of Iceland.
This program explores all aspects of renewable energy: from its sources in nature, to its technological utilization, to its social and environmental impacts. With lectures from interdisciplinary faculty, students investigate what it means to create a sustainable society, with Iceland serving as the primary case example. Students enjoy extraordinary access to experts, unique experience in the field, and exemplary support from program staff.
Learning from the Icelandic experience
Iceland is a world leader in developing the use of renewable energy. While this is partly attributable to the country's ample endowment of geothermal and hydroelectric resources, it's also attributable to Icelanders' making unique economic choices, valuing the social benefits of energy independence differently than much of the world. Students gain insight from the Icelandic experience that can be applied elsewhere.
Exploring the Westfjords, Reykjavík, and Iceland's Highlands
The program is based in the Westfjords region where students study at the University Centre of the Westfjords and experience life in the tight-knit community of Ísafjörður amid dramatic fjords and mountains.
The program also spends time in Iceland's capital, Reykjavik, the center of policymaking, where students meet with firms, agencies, and activists shaping the course of renewable energy in Iceland.
During excursions along Iceland's Ring Road, students take in amazing landscapes of Iceland's highlands and coast.
Students on this program gain a thorough and deep understanding of critical topics in renewable energy, technology, and resource economics and policy. The Individual Study Project gives students the opportunity to delve into their own academic interests while conducting research with support from experts in the field. Review complete program syllabi.Learning Icelandic language and culture
Students become familiar with Icelandic through the language course, designed for learners of all abilities. Learning Icelandic—which is distantly related to English and has changed very little in the thousand years since Iceland was settled—provides additional insights into Icelandic culture and elucidates course topics. Students discover more about Icelandic culture during the homestay in Ísafjörður.
|Why study renewable energy in Iceland?
Caitlin Wilson, academic director of the program from 2010 to 2014, explains:
In the minds of many, Iceland conjures up images of pristine nature, clean water and air, and progressive energy policy and practice. This reputation is built on a history of innovation, first sparked by the oil crisis of the 1970s, which inspired Iceland to transform its power from fossil fuels to renewables — notably geothermal and hydropower.
Over the next decades, Iceland successfully converted public heating and electricity to 85 percent renewable. The transportation sector still relies on fossil fuels, but Iceland is working rigorously to become completely energy independent by 2050, exploring alternative fuels including hydrogen, methane, and biofuel.
There is no other place on Earth with a comparable combination of renewable energy resources, history of sustainable development, and commitment to progress for the greater good. The economic crisis of 2008 has actually motivated Iceland to think even more carefully about its long-term future, by developing a national plan towards sustainability focused on energy independence and nature conservation.
The SIT Iceland program offers students the extraordinary opportunity of experiencing all of this firsthand, on site. Program lecturers are the top experts in their fields and are eager to guide students and share their special knowledge of this uniquely important topic and place. The program itself is crafted to take students on a journey of discovery, giving insight into the character of perhaps the most progressive nation in the world.

Man arrested in Farnborough in court over Anastasia Voykina murder in Streatham
10:14am Tuesday 15th January 2013 in News By Heloise Wood and Hannah Williamson
A MAN arrested in Farnborough has appeared in court charged with murdering his girlfriend.
Felipe Lopes, aged 27, of James Boswell Close, in Streatham, appeared at Bromley Magistrates' Court on January 12 and at the Old Bailey today (Jan 15) charged with the murder of Anastasia Voykina.
The body of the 23-year-old was discovered in a flat in James Boswell Close, at around 2am on January 8.
A post-mortem examination gave the Russian national's cause of death as multiple fractures to the face, head and neck caused by blunt trauma.
Police said Miss Voykina last spoke to her family on December 30 last year and this is believed to be the last known contact anyone had with her.
Lopes was arrested on suspicion of murder in Farnborough at 2.30am on January 9 and was charged on January 11.

Stretch that Sparkle! A Guide to Saving Money on Makeup
April 13, 2012 | Posted By: Inez Ponce de Leon | Categorized in: Health & Beauty
I was never a makeup sort of girl - until I took to the stage as a belly dancer. I found that the Zero Makeup Get Up didnt quite work. All that anyone could see of me was a faceless ghost shimmying around in a sparkling costume.
I had to invest in makeup, and I had to spend money which I didnt have a lot of, since I was also a graduate student at the time. Moreover, thanks to bacteria, makeup wont last forever, so Id always need to throw out my purchases.
But I couldnt perform without makeup, and I knew that one day, Id need to put on my own makeup as a professional, whether I was on stage dancing, or pacing the classroom as a professor. So, I managed, and I have my own makeup stash today without draining my savings account.
How did I manage it? Well, aside from trial and error, and a lot of conversations with my friends, here are tips that Ive found work with saving money on makeup.
Ask makeup artists about high quality brandsOne of my close friends from high school is a makeup artist. She prides herself on high quality brands that are INEXPENSIVE (not cheap!) because theyre made for makeup artists. She calls them Generic Boxes because theyre high quality, mineral-based makeup that come in almost non-descript packages.
She has fine powder eye shadow, liquid foundation, and even bronzers that are a tenth of the price of high end brands but which, she promises, are WAY BETTER. Why? Because the manufacturers cater directly to makeup artists and dont spend a lot on packaging.
So if you have a makeup artist friend, go ahead and ask about their brands! You might even be able to get a steep discount if your friend has a company and buys the Generic Boxes in bulk!
Read lots of reviews and sort them based on priceThanks to the Internet, we can sort makeup according to ratings, reviews, and price. The next time you need makeup, go online and search for makeup reviews. Sort everything based on price, from lowest to highest. Then, starting with the cheapest, work your way upward: look for brands that have been reviewed a lot, and that have excellent feedback. The lower the price, the better!
When youve picked out at least three brands, compare reviews across web pages. Make sure that the reviewers have the same skin tone and quality as yours!
Buy make up that you can apply a.k.a. dont let your face meet the source!I got this tip from a professional belly dancer who didnt like anyone touching her makeup, including herself! She had at least 5 lipstick brushes, eyeliner brushes, and eyeshadow brushes each. She had multiple powder puffs. She had a LOT of tissue paper.
She bought lipstick in little jars, and then used a lipstick brush to apply the lipstick with NO DOUBLE DIPPING. She would always close the jar as she applied the lipstick, so that the lipstick in the jar wouldnt be exposed to the air.
She bought liquid eyeliner with no brush in it, and then used her eyeliner brush to apply it with NO DOUBLE DIPPING. As with the lipstick, the jar was always closed.
She used multiple powder puffs on her powder, with can you guess? NO DOUBLE DIPPING.
When she was done applying her makeup, she would put all the dirty powder puffs and brushes in a bag. When she got home, she washed all of them and dried them out. Instead of investing on makeup, she invested on applicators, which were thrown out every few months (but which are comparatively cheaper). She also wiped the surfaces of her makeup to take out any contamination or dust that had settled.
She might sound a little obsessive compulsive, but she was neat and clean and her makeup was amazing! She was very careful with what she did, and yes, she told me, she saved a lot of money.
Buy smaller bottles, ESPECIALLY for lipstick and eye makeupI usually buy smaller bottles, especially for lipstick and eye makeup, and especially if the differences in cost between smaller and bigger packaging is zero to minute. If the difference is too big, however, Ill still go for the big packaging, but take much greater care with double dipping. Theres no use spending on lots of makeup that I wont use frequently, or that I might not like in a few months.
Keep your makeup in the fridgeThis is my moms favorite tip. I come from a tropical country, where bacteria grow much faster. My mom stores all her makeup, especially liquid makeup, in the fridge. Not only do we keep bacteria from multiplying, the low temperature actually keeps makeup consistency even. I made the mistake of leaving my liquid eyeliner out one summer afternoon and found that it had become a lumpy black mass. It wasnt pretty, and I had to throw it out, but I learned my lesson.
These are just a few makeup saving tips that will help you save money in the long run. Although makeup is expensive, its pretty useful to those of us who need to shine on stage, or who need to have some color when we step out of the house. But because we also need our savings to shine, we have ways of keeping our wallets fat without losing all our makeup in the process.
Inez Ponce de Leon is a researcher with a PhD in science communication. Shes also a bellydancer and bellydance instructor, with lots of experience in saving money on her makeup. Because she has to be on stage, she also has to use lots of it. She loves to write on a wide variety of topics, including belly dance, Healthy Trim claims, writing novels, sociology, and science communication.

In a recent Law360 article, Professor David Reiss commented on the continued success of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act (FIRREA), in particular, the prosecution of credit agency Standard & Poor's over fraudulent ratings. Although the suit does not have as large of an impact as previous suits against Bank of America and Bank of New York Mellon, Professor Reiss considers Tuesday's ruling against S&P "a very big deal." "It adds to a body of law that gives the government another powerful tool to go after alleged misdeeds by financial institutions," he said.

Sarah Ayers is happy to have a macaw named Oliver out of her house and back at his perch at the reconstructed Bird Mania on W. Emmaus Avenue in Salisbury Township -- and not just because he can swear like a sailor.
The cacophony of squawking and chirping at Bird Mania is a sign that the parakeets, macaws and other birds are glad to be home after about a month away in the wake of an SUV crashing into the shop on Nov. 13.
"Happy birds make a lot of noise," explained Ayers, a store volunteer and noted Lehigh Valley blues singer.
Bird Mania opened for its normal business hours this week for the first time since the SUV went through the front wall, just missing about 50 birds and Debbie Lentz, who co-owns the shop with her fiance, Tom Mantz.
"I had just walked in the back to make more formula for the baby birds when I heard the crash," Lentz said. When she looked into the main room of the shop, there was the SUV, still in gear.
Initial reports said it was possible that the driver, who was not named, had a seizure. He was taken to the hospital by ambulance.
What: Bird Mania reopened
Where: 3235 W. Emmaus Ave., Salisbury Township
When: Noon-7 p.m. Monday-Friday; 10 a.m. - 7 p.m. Saturday. Closed Sundays.
During the reconstruction, the birds stayed at the homes of Lentz, Ayers and former Bird Mania owner Linda Ehret. Lentz would open the foyer of the shop for a few hours in the evenings to take care of customers who needed supplies or help with their birds.
Lentz said the contractors, A.G. Stellar Construction of Schnecksville, worked quickly to repair the structure, which included rebuilding a wall, painting walls and resurfacing the floor. Then the township building inspectors certified the building for occupancy.
"Everything we have in the store is new because we didn't want to have to worry about any glass from the crash getting in it," Lentz said.
The reopening couldn't come too soon for Charlotte Dougherty of Macungie. She stopped in Tuesday afternoon for special bird food she buys for her parrotlet named Blueberry.
"He won't eat anything but [Bird Mania] seed," Dougherty said. "I'm so happy nobody got hurt. They're wonderful here."
In addition to selling bird food, cages, toys and other supplies, Bird Mania grooms birds and boards them for their owners.
"Your average next-door neighbor is not going to come over to take care of your macaw," said Ayers, who pointed out that such birds sometimes bite.
Oliver, the 13-year-old scarlet macaw that Ayers took care of at home for a month, had been a fixture in the shop for years. Ehret had taken him in when his owner couldn't take care of him. Oliver arrived with a tendency to nip and a salty vocabulary.
"He drops F-bombs," Ayers said. "He'll say, 'What's this s--t.' "
The polar opposite of Oliver is a talking cockatiel named Eskimo that happily perched on customer Amanda Stern's hand Tuesday. Eskimo will say "pretty bird" and "good boy" and if you kiss at him, he'll make kissing sounds back.
Oliver, on the other hand, has more in mind than kissing.
"He thinks I'm his mate," Ayers said. "I won't even tell you some of the things he does to my arm."

When Miami Beach commissioned German artist Tobias Rehberger to design a $500,000 sculpture for South Pointe Park in 2010, he envisioned his Obstinate Lighthouse rising five stories above an open lawn, unobstructed on all sides.
In May, when he found out the City Commission made his sculpture the centerpiece of an off-leash area for dogs, he wrote to the city's planning department complaining: "If the public art project was for a dog park I would not have considered the invitation."
The city's Art in Public Places Committee shared similar concerns, telling the City Commission last month that surrounding the off-leash area and sculpture with a planned landscape buffer would compromise the integrity of the artist's intent and concept.
However, the city's Design Review Board on Tuesday approved the landscaping plan 4-1, with Jason Hagopian dissenting, essentially plowing the way for 450 feet of landscaping on three sides of the lighthouse.
Megan Riley, chairwoman of the Art in Public Places Committee, warned the board that the off-leash dog area and landscaping buffer could put the city in violation of the Visual Artists Rights Act, a federal law that protects visual artists against distortion or destruction of their work.
Patricia Fuller, also on the committee, told the board that "the base of the sculpture is very integral to the sculpture."
"In fact it's not a base," Fuller said. "It's part of the sculpture. It's an important part of the vista that you see and establishes the relationship between the verticality of the lighthouse and this open flat lawn area that [Rehberger] was asked to address."
"We need to consider that if we want to work with major international artists and spend the money of the city wisely on important works of art for the collection, we need to respect the relationship that we have with the artist."
The city's planning department wrote in a staff report for the Design Review Board that "any form of perimeter landscaping material or additional park signage in this focal location … would distract from and have a significant adverse impact upon and detract from the design integrity of the lighthouse sculpture as well as its intended 'open lawn' setting."
However, though assistant city manager Mark Taxis described the landscaping as a "physical barrier," he said, "I don't think [the landscaping] will have a detrimental affect on the viewing of that art piece."
The buffer, not to exceed 42 inches in height, would consist primarily of muhly grass and spartina (or cordgrass), which are both native, and firecracker plants as accent.
The Design Review Board considered the landscaping buffer at the request of the City Commission due to safety concerns arising from dogs running out of the off-leash area and chasing passers-by.
Parks and Recreation Director Kevin Smith stressed to the board that the off-leash hours are limited, that leashed dogs are allowed in the park at any time the park is open, and that the area is not a "dog park" but rather an "off-leash dog area." Smith said dogs can run leash-less in the area from sunrise to 10 a.m. seven days a week, and 6 to 9 p.m. on weekdays. He also mentioned it's a pilot program that expires at the end of the year. The nearest dog park is two blocks away.
The planning department also wrote in the staff report that having off-leash dogs near the seating at the base of the sculpture "will almost certainly result in an unsanitary condition for park users, especially children and tourists."
While the material near the base of the sculpture is treated for graffiti, it has not been treated for urine.
Dennis Leyva, coordinator for the Art in Public Places Committee, told the board, "We never considered, or the artist, urine protection."

Let's Pass I-VAWA!
FUTURES applauds the U.S. Senate's bi-partisan re-introduction of the International Violence Against Women Act (IVAWA) lead by Senators Barbara Boxer (D-CA), Susan Collins (R-ME), Mark Kirk (R-IL), Robert Menendez (D-NJ), and Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH). IVAWA represents a huge step forward in the U.S government's commitment to ending this global scourge so that every woman and girl can live a life free from violence and fulfill her basic human rights.
"We commend Senators from both sides of the aisle for reintroducing the International Violence Against Women Act with bipartisan support," said Esta Soler, Founder and President of Futures Without Violence. "Recent devastating events in Nigeria are a very timely reminder that violence against women and girls knows no boundaries. We must act quickly to prevent gross human rights violations-from early/forced marriage to domestic violence- and promote global stability and security."
The Senate now joins the House which re-introduced IVAWA this past November also with bipartisan support from Representatives Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) Reps. Richard Hanna (R-NY), Chris Gibson (R-NY), Nita Lowey (D-NY), Eliot Engel (D-NY), and Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL).
We commend these Members of Congress for their continued effort and dedication to end violence against women and girls globally. An estimated one out of every three women worldwide will be physically, sexually or otherwise abused during her lifetime-with rates reaching 70 percent in some countries. Violence against women and girls includes harmful practices that range from rape to domestic violence, to acid burnings and dowry deaths, and so-called "honor killings."
Violence against women and girls is a human rights violation, a public health epidemic and a barrier to solving global challenges such as extreme poverty, HIV/AIDS and violent conflict. It devastates the lives of millions of women and girls-in peacetime and in conflict-and knows no national or cultural barriers. Most importantly, it must end.
IVAWA calls for a comprehensive U.S. response to end violence against women and girls globally by:
- Directing the Department of State and USAID to continuing to implement a comprehensive multi-sectoral strategy to prevent and respond to gender-based violence;
- Integrating efforts to prevent and respond to violence against women and girls as part of U.S. foreign assistance programs including health, education, economic growth, legal reform, political participation, social norm change, humanitarian assistance, and foreign security training, among others;
- Supporting overseas non-governmental and community-based organizations working to end violence against women and girls; and,
- Ensuring uniform data collection and accountability measures are in place to track investments in programs that address gender-based violence.
We ask you to take action and ask your Members of Congress to support and pass IVAWA. Click here to email your Members of Congress now.

NORMAL Ill -- Illinois State University is giving one last look at their four residence halls that will be closing following the summer.
Colby, Atkins, Hamilton, and Whitten Halls along with the Feeney Dining Hall will be shut down due to the high costs of renovation.
There are no plans to tear down the buildings right now, but they may be used for storage.
The buildings will be open tomorrow from 9 to 10:30 am
They are the oldest standing residence halls on campus.
Illinois State's housing department says they will still have plenty of room for students with more options for sophomore and upper class students.
"Those Students will have the option of choosing between the remaining residents halls. And then sophomore students can live at Cardinal Court. The change that is a little different this fall is that upper class students. We do have a few spaces for upper class students, but we are encouraging many of them to seek off campus housing, " said Assistant Director of Marketing for Housing Department, Jamie Wood.
Lunch will be served for visitors following the tours at Feeney Dining Hall

If the series number is the count of production units, it means the first 2 millions would have the issue. That's gonna take well to sell. Anyone have an idea of what the number stands for? Country code, factory code, or batch/ date code?
Are you serious? The serial number doesn't mean how many they have produced. Maybe they started producing from the from a number later in the code. Eg. 2399222321 means 22321 is the amount they've produced.
