LTTE: Here we go again in Alamo
Original post made by Community courtesy on Mar 27, 2009
Let's thank Mr. Bob Myhre for our consideration of an Alamo region MAC.
In Bob's LTTE, he proposes a MAC for Alamo without understanding the majority of voters positions on local planning and political authority. The majority in the Alamo region support local planning and political control, including incorporation, but simply did not support an undefined incorporation proposal presented in the March 3 election.
A strong interest in local planning and political authority is very obvious in our Alamo region because there is a strong disregard for the current District 3 supervisor. That translates into disregard for existing county advisory committees such as R-7A and Z-36 that were reconstituted by the current District 3 supervisor's actions and would continue with any establishment of a MAC.
If a MAC were installed in Alamo by District 3 with approval by CCC-BOS, the five MAC members would be disregarded and avoided by a large majority of residents and their neighborhoods. Neighborhoods would continue actions directly with all governments including the county and increase their regulatory, civil, and class actions in prospering their political and planning voice.
There is a compromise position that would gain consideration by a majority of Alamo region neighbors. An Alamo Region Planning Commission with functional sub-committees for oversight and advisory for each service provided by the county would be supported and would serve as basis for a community-wide effort to incorporate that structure into a local government in the future.
Humor, as a reminder, should guide the consideration of a MAC for Alamo. "A MAC in Alamo would be the Maytag repairmen of Alamo Council, the loneliest people in town!" This would be very true if Bob's proposal for MAC members were only taken from the <150 active proponents and opponents in the March 3 campaigns.
Hal, as a community courtesy
Here we go again in Alamo
Dear Editor:
This letter is in rebuttal to last week's "AIA Board ponders role in future of Alamo."
Here we go again! Now the AIA (Alamo Improvement Association) and several members of AIM (Alamo Incorporation Movement) are bound and determined that they are the "Chosen Ones" to protect Alamo or to educate some of us to the sort of change that could be coming! Your (AIM) ideas about "change" were voted down by a two-thirds margin! Why don't you (AIM) understand the meaning of NO?
The "change" that I sincerely hope is coming is establishment of a MAC - a Municipal Advisory Committee. Hopefully, the Board of Supervisors will cause it to happen fairly soon.
To be fair, it is imperative that members of the MAC should be selected proportionally from those who successfully fought incorporation and those of AIM that tried so hard to pass it.
So, to the members of the AIA, I must say: "No, thank you!" As a member of the AIA Board in 1976-77, I acknowledge the benefit to Alamo of all of the efforts of the AIA Planning Committee. We will call upon them whenever the occasion arises for their constructive analysis and recommendations in the future.
Robert D. Myhre, Alamo
on Mar 27, 2009 at 9:36 am
My confusion is exhaustively extensive.
The Alamo Incorporation opposition's main argument was that they didn't want "another layer of bureaucracy." Now they DO want a MAC! What a surprise! (By the way, that's a Municipal Advisory Council - not committee.)
Now how is this not "another layer of bureaucracy?" There are already 6 county advisory bodies in Alamo, and now you want another one!!??
The only way this is appealing would be to get rid of the existing advisory bodies and assign their duties to the MAC. That would be a REAL reduction in bureaucracy.
How about it, opposition? How about it, Supervisor Piepho?
By the way, I'm really not confused - I saw this coming weeks ago...
on Mar 28, 2009 at 8:07 am
Dear Dolores, Let's encourage Ron to develop his thoughts in more detail,
Taken from Judy's comments in another forum: "What do you do when you realize five people are not enough for the job?
Five supervisors cannot, with all that staff help, manage the county. Five people in Danville's Council cannot manage their relationships with neighborhoods. Five people as Alamo town council would have floundered in the fiscal challenges of corporate start-up. (In) neighborly conversations, we concluded that the issue will be five people, on a MAC, will once again not be enough for the job.
What do WE do when five people are not enough for the job?"
Jason, in Hemme neighborhoods wrote: "Five people cannot do the jobs we need done. Alamo must have more residents committed to community efforts such as infrastructure enhancement, transportation and traffic, economic development, and protection of our neighborhoods' character. Even the AIA with it larger board and committees is being overwhelmed by the requirements of more than 16,000 residents"
Hal, as a community courtesy
on Mar 29, 2009 at 8:46 am
I'm not surprised that Hal is having a problem enumerating the number of people needed to do a job. I'll try to help.
It's called "representative government." This is probably an alien concept to those who favor more bureaucracy and an ever-increasing bloat of advisory committees in Alamo.
Give this concept some study - you may like it.

A Lebanon woman is recovering from injuries she suffered after being attacked by a neighbor's dog.
Police say Laura Counts was walking her dog Wednesday on Washington Drive when a Great Pyrenees got loose from a child and went for Counts' smaller dog.
When Counts tried to intervene, she was attacked and bitten repeatedly.
"A lot of times we hear, 'Hey, in this case, this dog isn't vicious. It doesn't normally react that way.' But, unfortunately, I think sometimes when other animals get involved, maybe it becomes territorial, and - obviously - we as human beings are going to do everything we can to try to protect our animals," said Lebanon Police Chief Scott Bowen.
The dog's owner, Andy Poston, was cited because the dog hadn't had a rabies vaccination this year.
He surrendered the dog to animal control, where it will be euthanized.

Remember Me
The group that recently traveled to New York through a Delphos Museum of Postal History fundraiser.Several of us from Ohio had the opportunity to take a look at the history of New York City up close and personal as they say. More specifically, we spent five wonderful days touring Manhattan Island and the borough of Brooklyn. It was especially enjoyable for me since I was able to show off some of the hidden gems of an area that I still refer to as home. We even went down my old block that I grew up on in the Midwood section of Brooklyn. Even though it had been 25 years since I was there, the three story brick attached home looked just like it did when I lived there; just a wee bit smaller than I remember.
Ron Schweiger, official historian of Brooklyn, took us through the various ethnic neighborhoods as well as highlighting Nathan's at Coney Island, MCU Stadium home of the Brooklyn Cyclones, Barclay Arena where Barbara Streisand (also born in Brooklyn) just had her two latest "my last concerts ever," and where the MBA team Brooklyn Nets now play. Ron's color commentary on the hows and whys of the continual changes of this county of 2.5 million people was enlightening. I was shocked to learn that 25 percent of that population are Jewish. It certainly wasn't when I was a child.In order to give you a first hand look at our tour, check out the youtube video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpdPnJnNdV8&list=UUAN6eQJhg1i20DwKCldyINQ&index=1&feature=plcp produced by James Crawfis of Bluffton. You might find some humor in looking at the pictures and listening to the appropriate background music. I am certainly hoping James comes along to our Chicago trip next month just to see what he'll capture of that. This man is a quite the professional.Now the only things remotely historical about this trip to Chicago are the dinner/theater we will experience at Tommy Gun's Garage (some people think that Jimmy Hoffa is buried there) or the total amount of money we will deposit at the Lighthouse Outlet, the Christkindl German Market and the Water Tower Mall. For "us guys" that are going on the trip, we plan on spending our time between ESPN Zone, Michael Jordan's Steakhouse and going to the United Center to watch the Chicago Bulls and the Philadelphia '76ers duke it out. Learn more on my facebook page or by calling me at 419-303-5482. During the trip, scheduled Nov. 30 through Dec. 2, we will be staying at the Marriott Courtyard Magnificent Mile. It includes dinner/theater, all transportation, lodging, fees and tips for just $399 per person. Better hurry as of this writing I only have 25 seats left.With the election less than a month away, I thought I would bring you something a little more interesting than the campaign ads. The subject of American presidents (past presidents that is) is the most frequent face you will see on a US Postage Stamp. Back in 1847 was when the US started printing postage stamps and you'll never guess who was on the first two issues - George Washington and Benjamin Franklin. Franklin was never a president but is by far the one person who had the greatest influence on postal systems and postal history to date. Numerous deceased statesmen have appeared on definitive stamps over a period of many generations.Postage stamps bearing depictions of George Washington and Benjamin Franklin were joined by Thomas Jefferson in 1856, Andrew Jackson in 1862 and Abraham Lincoln in 1866, one year after his death. Prior to the issuance of the Abraham Lincoln stamp, the regulations indicated you had to be dead at least 10 years to be considered as the subject of a postage stamp. After this, regulations were changed to reflect that presidents may be portrayed on postage stamps one year after death.Hang in there until next time and we'll take a little more about being "presidential."

The inland sea reaches three continents and more than 20 nations and states. At its grandest length, the Mediterranean goes 2,700 miles. At its widest: 800 miles. That's a lot of food. Numerous restaurants on Long Island trace their cuisines to the Mediterranean. In Newsday's listings of the top 10, the focus is on Greece and the Middle East. Here they are. The favorite: MP Taverna in Roslyn. --PETER M. firstname.lastname@example.com and JOAN firstname.lastname@example.com

Speed will not be a issue, but compatibility with your computer hardware might be, it depends on the age. I found one laptop that would not load windows 7, a message popped up saying it was incompatible.A few more to answer would be, "Will the programs I buy in the future need 7?"
Do I have enough RAM and Speed to make 7 worthwhile?
All of my software works on XP. For now. In the future, that's anybody's guess. And if push comes to shove, I can always install Win7.
Speed was also an (unspoken) thought that I had. In order to best use an older machine's specs, am I better off using XP? I'm thinking right now that I probably will be.
You can download and run the windows compatibility checker to do this. If a windows 7 disk came with your computer, it should work fine. Since you have a new hard drive, try installing it, you may be surprised at how smoothly and quickly it installs. You can always install XP over it, just choose the erase partition option when installing XP, or use a utility to format the drive.

Developmentalists regard adolescence as a qualitatively special period/state of life which is different than prior childhood or future adult maturity. In contrast, some social historians see adolescence as a recent phenomenon shaped by industrialization and extended formal education which may be more apparent than real. Our interest is concerned with what adolescence means for our times. We will look at how general psychological theories interpret adolescence. We will also consider general issues young people deal with (family, school, employment, etc.), as well as special problems that some adolescents face (ethnic status, gender perspectives, and poverty).

Canada reports first bird flu death
The victim had recently returned from a trip to Beijing.
MeatPoultry.com, 1/9/2014
by Meat&Poultry Staff
OTTAWA, Ontario – Canada confirmed the first H5N1 avian flu death in North America, according to news reports. Speaking at a press conference, Canada Health Minister Rona Ambrose said it was an "isolated case."
The victim, who lived in the province of Alberta, had recently returned from a trip to Beijing. Officials did not release the person's name to protect the family's privacy. Officials said the victim became sick on Dec. 27 and died Jan. 3. A federal lab in Winnipeg, Manitoba, confirmed the H5N1 virus from a sample taken when the patient was alive.
The victim was traveling with two companions. Officials have secured a passenger list and were contacting people on the same flight as the victim. Canadian officials also have notified China and the World Health Organization (WHO).
The US Food and Drug Administration said most influenza A viruses don't infect people. But the H5N1 virus has caused illness and death in people outside the US. WHO states that 60 percent of those infected with H5N1 virus die. The virus has the potential to become a pandemic because it continues to infect wild birds which has led to occasional outbreaks of H5N1 in poultry populations. Humans have no immunity to the virus.
In November, FDA approved a vaccine for the prevention of H5N1. The vaccine was be added to the National Stockpile for distribution by public health officials if needed.

The Cardinals released QB Matt Leinart, who failed to win the team's starting job this summer.
The 10th overall selection in the 2006, Leinart has been at the center of a difficult preseason in which he began as the starter but lost his starting spot to Derek Anderson.
"To be honest, for both parties, I think this was the best direction to go," Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt said.
After expressing his displeasure, Leinart fell to second on the depth chart and completed 3-of-5 passes for 14 yards in the team's preseason finale against the Redskins.
All signs had initially pointed to Leinart replacing Kurt Warner, who retired this offseason following the Cardinals' playoff loss to the Saints.
The Cardinals explored several trade scenarios for Leinart, including discussions with the Raiders, Giants and Bills, according to various reports.
Those teams could remain interested, as well as the Seahawks, who reportedly have cut J.P. Losman and currently only have Matt Hasselbeck and Charlie Whitehurst on the roster. Leinart played at USC for new Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll.
Anderson has won the Cardinals' starting job. He was 10-5 as a starter for the Browns in 2007 and made the Pro Bowl that season but slumped badly the following season and was benched after a 3-6 mark as the starter.
Undrafted rookie Max Hall, who had an impressive preseason, reportedly will be Anderson's backup. John Shelton, another rookie, stands as the third quarterback.

If Ross Perot hadn't run in 1992 and '96 it's possible the Dems would have lost both times. And if that sounds like a knock against Bill Clinton, think again. He saw his opportunity and took it. Played the Perot card so well most people today think he won states like Nevada, Georgia, and Montana off of his popularity. Would you rather the Dems have lost? Of course not!

comment on a post Has anything changed vis a vie battleground states? over 5 years ago
What I got from the election results is that the broad segment of the electorate which elected George Bush twice hasn't changed all that much. Got this sense during the past few weeks while I was canvassing that many "undecided" voters were Republican leaners who were upset with McCain and the economy but would vote GOP in the end. If Obama only got 43% of the white vote suspect this is what happened.
Obama still one because young voters (18-29) backed him in such huge numbers. Don't think their support for him was based upon the recent worsening of the economy. One could debate whether this was the result of Obama's personality, what these voters perceive he stands for, or reflects some general tilt towards the Democratic party.
W/o this enthusiasm among younger voters, though, "Obama's army" (the organizers) wouldn't have been the force it was and he might have lost. This is probably what made the difference in Ohio, Florida, Colorado, Nevada, etc. If this group turns out to be loyal, the map is indeed different (esp. since the GOP will start losing the 65+ voters who backed them this year).
comment on a post Would Hillary Be Ahead Right Now? over 5 years ago
We'll never know. Clinton's biggest advantage, I think, is that she would have nailed McCain to a wall on the economy. She might have done a better job of articulating the public's disgust on this topic than Obama has done, if you think about it. Think it's possible she still might have run into problem with indies, though, strictly for reasons of personality. Hillary Clinton is a great blue state candidate. Where she would have been vulnerable is in the upper Midwest (the WI + MN + IA triangle).
Still, have great expectations for her in 2016. While it might not seem obvious now, she'll benefit the most at this point if Obama wins a landslide. Once the Dems cross the color line the glass ceiling is clearly the next target (and many who backed Obama this year, I think, will back her with equal intensity if she runs again, as discordant as this might sound think the campaign she ran this year was just a bit too early).
comment on a post It's Bad For Society To Underestimate Women over 5 years ago
The problem with this claim is that the public has now seen Palin speak about issues in a variety of situations, and her "word salads" don't suggest she has much understanding of issues beyond those associated with her duties as Governor of Alaska.
The usual challenge politicians face is to discuss issues in such a way that someone with only a lay person's understanding can follow the conversation (get too specialized and he or she will lose the audience). Palin faces a wholly different challenge, in that the layperson, hearing her speak, often comes away feeling that he or she is better informed about the issue.
That plenty of Republicans have noted this says all one needs to know. It's as if many of Palin's backers are arguing, "Who are you going to believe? Me or your lying eyes?"
I won't go the easy route and bring up the Wooten thing. Will just say that observers have called Alaska the GOP's Louisiana, plenty of high-ranking politicians have gone down in recent years, and I think there's a pretty good chance the same will happen to Palin after this election is over (but not for anything which happened when she was governor, more small-town stuff).

Hey Nancy, do you think the fundies, neocons, etc., have all backed Palin because they happen to be less sexist than others in society? Or do they see her as a great opportunity to advance their respective agendas? Have you become a Republican now?

I voted in Orange county, CA, yesterday, and there weren't many people there (which I consider to be good news for our side). Heading up to Las Vegas to help with GOTV (and got a similar speech about how important it was to be there on election day).
Would like to make a pitch for anyone who lives in So Cal and speaks Spanish to consider coming to Nevada. That's going to be a close race, but it's one we can win even if McCain pulls off some miracle back East.
comment on a post The Army Sets a Trap For Barack Obama over 5 years ago
It's not a trap because the Iraqis almost certainly won't do anything with this agreement until after the election. Once completed, all sides will have to adjust to the new reality. Won't even predict what that will be, but my sense all along has been that the Iraqis are stalling and this SOF agreement will never be approved.
comment on a post Winning Is Bad News For Democrats over 5 years ago
The Democrats, fortunately, have the precedent of Clinton's first two years to serve as a cautionary tale. I don't think the Dems are going to be as unruly or undisciplined as some suspect because they understand the GOP can (and almost certainly will) stage a counter attack.
Obama has three other advantages. First, he's steadier than Clinton and not an easy target. The meme that many voters didn't trust Clinton got started before he won the '92 election (and was based in some aspects of personality and history which Obama doesn't share).
Second, Clinton won a 3-way race with 43%. If Obama wins he'll definitely score over 50%. That matters. Even if he doesn't win in a blowout and take all of the swing states, it will still be the case that a majority of the electorate voted for him once (and he'd only be the second Dem who could say that in 40 years, btw).
Third, the Dems got spanked in '94 because the Republican base was energized but the Democratic base wasn't. I don't think that will be true in 2010. The internet has changed political campaigning on the Democratic side. Think many who support Obama are in it for the long haul.
None of this is to diminish the talents and accomplishments of Pres. Clinton. Just think Obama is in a much stronger position and would have some better cards to play.
on a comment on Obama Strongest Dem Among White Voters Since Carter over 5 years ago
I hope you're right, but an Obama victory still depends upon his turning states blue which haven't gone Dem for some time (esp. if one acknowledges the role which Perot played in putting some states into the Clinton column in '92 and '96).
Not being a defeatist. Think Obama is running an incredible campaign. But let's not go crazy. We won't know how this will play out until election day (we might have much less slack than now seems to be the case--or much more--but to play it safe we should assume it's less).
comment on a post Obama Strongest Dem Among White Voters Since Carter over 5 years ago
Someone has to lay out a more pessimistic scenario. What if it turns out that the numbers Obama is getting now represent his ceiling? (and most of the undecideds just can't bring themselves to vote for him). And suppose youth turnout is on par with what happened in 2004 (because Kerry didn't do badly in this area, it might be the case that many young people just can't drag themselves to the polls).
Obama could still win in this situation but it would be a knuckle biter. He could lose Virginia, Florida, and Ohio by narrow margins. Even New Hampshire. Forget North Carolina. Georgia would be a pipe dream. He'd still probably win Iowa, New Mexico, and Colorado, though (which would give him a tie).
Just saying we haven't won yet. I'm going to spend the next ten days in Nevada helping to get out the vote. If the worst happens think this is the state which could push him over (and fortunately I live in So Cal). Hoping for a blowout, of course, but this worst-case scenario doesn't strike me as beyond the realm of possibility.
comment on a post three one-point polls--shall we worry? over 5 years ago
The decision by Gallup to go to two numbers (which reflect different likely voter screens) captures the difference between the optimists and pessimists. It's not the case that the pessimists are recording some recent surge by McCain. What they're doing is going with a model which assumes that turnout will be very similar to what it was in 2004 (and a lot of people who are expressing support for Obama, and who show up in the optimistic polls, won't turn out to vote).
If McCain was surging (ie. voters were actually changing their minds) Dems would have cause to worry. Because this comes down to a difference in methodology, though, what can one say? If the Battleground poll is right the energy Obama has put into improving the Dem's ground game will turn out to have been wasted effort (which doesn't seem likely but that's really the disparity, the extra 3-5 points come from optimists' projections that turnout by young people, African Americans, Latinos, etc., will go up, the pessimists don't think so).
Each of these three pessimistic polls contains some info, btw, which strikes me as dubious. Is it really the case, for instance, that close to 60% of voters now describe themselves as conservative? (because only 34% did in 2004). This is another poll which projects that 21% of voters will be 65+ (in 2004 this was 16%).
Still, it's not worth arguing with (or about) pollsters. Much.
comment on a post Drudge Shocker over 5 years ago
I don't know if this has been brought up by previous posters, but according to her twitter page she was looking for a BoA ATM for 2-3 hours (ostensibly to avoid the $2 fee). That's barely plausible. But who announces on their twitter page that they're in search of an ATM? That's on par with twittering every time you go to the bathroom (w/ maybe a follow up about what happened). Can I bet on intrade that this is a hoax?
comment on a post three one-point polls--shall we worry? over 5 years ago
Yes, it's possible the polls might turn out to be wrong. Don't think it's likely, but we'll only know on November 5. For what it's worth, I decided just yesterday to spend the last ten days working in a battleground state.
If Obama wins handily I'll be there for a great party. If it's close I can fool myself into thinking my extra effort made the difference. And if we lose I'll know it wasn't because of me.
Can I make a common fear explicit? We both know the Republicans are great at mobilizing their base, getting them to the polls, and pulling off election day shenanigans. They stole victory from the jaws of defeat during the past two elections (and arguably in '88 as well).
Have you been following the diary about the McCain campaign worker who claims she was beaten up in PA? Maybe she was. Don't we both know, though, that if she fabricated the whole thing this is the sort of thing Republicans do? Not saying she did. I'm saying they're capable of this.
So don't be a spectator. Worry is for chumps. The only reason the Dems are where they are now is because they have millions of foot soldiers now who are playing to win. Let the Republicans grind their teeth for once.
comment on a post '04 vs '08 over 5 years ago
I think Jerome's skepticism should be welcomed, but there's a bigger wildcard out there than the Latino vote (and one which explains part how the AP got their numbers). They assume that voters between the ages of 18-29 will make up a smaller % of the electorate this year than they did in 2000 and 2004. Young voter apathy makes the race competitive.
In the previous two cycles the 18-29 vote made up 17% of the electorate (in 2000 they split evenly, in 2004 they went for Kerry 54/45). AP's projection is that they'll make up 15% (and if you do the math they're actually dropping the majority of young voters who responded, 133 out of 254, and assuming they won't turn out). This is almost 1/2 of the 301 voters who didn't make it through their likely voter screen, btw.
So who thinks they'll be right? I think this is nutty. 1/2 of new registrations are from voters in this age group. This is the group which Obama is winning 2 to 1. Thing is, one can't say the AP is wrong because they're using historical numbers to make their projection.
A lot will turn on this. If the youth vote turns out Obama will probably win in a landslide (and that'll have implications for the future, most of these voters, I predict, will stick with the Dems). If AP turns out to be correct, though, we might be in for a long night (though Obama, clearly, could still win).
My hunch,btw, is that youth turnout will go up significantly, but it's anyone's guess whether they'll vote in the same numbers as those who are 20 or even 40 years older (another fudge by AP is that they're assuming 20% of the electorate will be 65+, in 2000 it was 14%).
comment on a post Sarah P. saddles up to the pork bucket, and Alaska pays over 5 years ago
I've stayed away from Palin news lately, but there were two new stories today which in my opinion are far more significant and revealing than this one. The first is news that the RNC seems to have spent in excess of $150,000 to cloth and groom the Palin family during what...seven weeks?
And the second is the interview the Daily Show did with the current Mayor of Wassila, AK. This is must see tv. Being the head of an Elks Lodge would give someone more executive experience.

Until a few minutes ago I had no idea this beer was this big.Poured into a becker a deep rich well defined amber with a tightly formed slight off white 1/2 finger head.Fruit abounds in the nose along with some roasted nut wich is more apparent as it warms,sweet alcohol as well.Unlike any Sticke Alt I have had with it's intense fruitiness and warming alcohol but I like it,some peppery/leafy hops play a bigger role as the beer warms with again a bigger alcohol presence.Fred did a great job on this beer...again like no Alt I have had but it's great.

This beer was a dark amber color with a medium-sized tan head. There was a little bit of lace.
Mostly a caramel aroma. Some sweet fruit.
Strong taste of caramel. Raisins and dates, with a hint of orange. Sweet finish.
This was a really nice beer to drink. Very sweet, maybe a tiny bit too sweet. Still, I really enjoyed it.

TASTE: Sweet, slightly thick, bready, toasty, treacle, sharp alcohol, warming, mild twang, floral, dried grassy finish
Decent Double Altbier, I had expected this beer to open up a bit more. Sweetness was a bit much, after taste fades pretty quick. Worth a shot.

The beer pours a medium brown color with a huge off-white/tan head. The aroma is toffee and biscuit malt, with a sugary smell that resembles Bazooka bubblegum. The flavor has a lot of malt sweetness, with some strong toffee and caramel notes. There is also a lot of sugary sweetness, with the bubblegum notes once again present. The alcohol is well hidden and it is very hard to tell that the beer is more than 9 percent. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

Poured from 12 oz. bottle into a Sam Adams perfect pint glass.
Appearance: Pours a deep brownish amber orange with some ruby red. Lots of rising bubbles and a big four finger off white head with good retention. Lots of lace on the glass.
Smell: Sweet mildly roasty malts with lots of caramel and toffee. Hints of brown sugar. Also picking up some hints of citrus hops with notes of grapefruit and orange peel. Some hints of dark raisins and plum in the background with a hint of alcohol. Smells sweet and bready but balanced.
Taste: A very nice combination of bready malts, hops, and dark fruit. Sweet bready malts that are lightly roasted with big notes of caramel, toffee, and brown sugar. Midway comes some balancing citrus hops with notes of orange and grapefruit. There is also a good presence of dark fruits with notes of booze soaked raisins, figs, and plum. Sort of tastes like a cross between a Doppelbock and a dark Belgian ale.
Mouthfeel: Full bodied with a moderate level of carbonation. Very creamy and chewy. Very smooth for the big body and high ABV.
Overall: A very good take on an Alt. Bready and sweet but balanced and complex with the presence of hops and dark fruit.

Bottled served in a pint glass
A - garnet amber hazy with 1 finger khaki bubbly head with moderate retention and good lacing
S - sweet caramel malts, dark fruits, a lot of booze
T - sweeter than maple syrup, this caramel sweetness hit you hard and lasts till the break of dawn. The caramel and molasses malts dominate and never seem to diminish. The dark fruits and citrus hop notes chime in ever so briefly and are overwhelmed by brash warming booze that almost ruin the experience rather than complementing it. Great effort with malt however.
M - medium light body with low carbonation and a ton of warming etoh. Sticky.
O - tastes like a barley wine but has the embodiement of caramel malt all the way. A good spring and winter beer or a dessert brew.

(Served in a Sam Adams glass)
A- This beer pours a dense glowing garnet body with a light tan head of thick foam that last a good bit.
S- The slight sweet malt aroma has a soft dry hop finish.
T- The toffee note has a slight sweet green nougat hop note in the finish with a fruity hint and sweet malt note lingering. The sweet taste grows cloying as the beer opens.
M- The medium-full mouthfeel is creamy with a tight fizz and a soft alcohol heat warmth.
O- This beer is a bit thick like milk and the melanodin flavor is the strongest malt flavor with not a lot of grain character or hops for the alcohol level.

This beer is a clear dark brown-red. Some bubbling activity clings to the glass but settles down. A tan head grows to just over a finger tall and drops some good lacing down the sides.
This one is bigger than I expected. It almost reminds me of something like a dubbel sans the Belgian yeast. Dark malts form a backbone over an almost candy sugar sweetness, with lots of dark fruits and caramel coming out. As it warms, a touch of citrus comes out underneath, further distinguishing it. Alcohol is certainly noticeable but works in a similar way to a highly alcoholic Belgian as well, integrating and adding warmth without being too hot or giving off fusel or rubbing alcohol notes. The mainstays are the dark fruits/caramel combo with the almost smoky dark malts presence, getting a little heavier after starting off more toasty.
This beer sustains a crispness through the sip along with a moderate smoothness in a medium body. Carbonation is at a low-medium level.

Poured from bottle into a seidel.
A: Beautiful ruby-red body with thin brownish head.
S: Sweet malt and honey with a touch of alcohol. Not a very strong scent.
T: The orange flavor they mention is there but accompanied by a strong medicinal flavor that's hard to get past.
M: Strong point of the beer. Smooth and thick leaving a tart aftertaste.
O: Not something I'd buy a 6-pack of. The Dunkel that came with this one in the Longshot pack was better but I don't have notes for it.

Appearance - Pours a deep reddish brown with a nice 2 finger head. Good retention. Resulting lace is thick and sticky.
Smell - Caramelized sugar and prune. A bit of heat on the nose.
Taste - Dark sugary caramel, toffee. A hint of coffee comes into play toward the aftertaste. A faint citrus hop pokes through in the finish, otherwise this beer is all about the malts. Finishes with the slightest of burn from the alcohol.
Mouthfeel - Medium to full body. Sticky on the lips. Decent carbonation.
Overall - Little too rich and sugary for my tastes, though a commendable effort nonetheless.

A - dark brown with a very large, thick, brown head that has great retention
S - light caramel, doughy, citrusy
T - malty, doughy, caramel, bitter some faint citrus, very faint pine; spicy alcohol finish when the beer warms
M - medium bodied, well carbonated, warming alcohol
This is an enjoyable, malty offering. Just a tad more balance from the hops would make this a really good beer. I enjoyed it. If it were slightly more hoppy and the alcohol was more subtle, I would buy a few more bottles.

12oz bottle
A- Poured into a pint glass. Pours a dark brown color with an off-white head with good retention and lacing.
S- The aroma is a ton of sweet bready malt, dark fruits and caramel with faint citrusy hops and some alcohol as well.
T- The taste like the aroma is a lot of sweet malt with a moderate amount of bitterness in the hops in the finish and a lot of warmth from the alcohol.
M- The mouthfeel is medium bodied with a perfect amount of carbonation for this beer.
O- Overall, a pretty solid malty beer that would be perfect for a cold winter night in front of the fire.

Derf's Secret Alt pours a darker mahogany color. Looks very clear. Backlighting reveals some cherry or burgundy highlights. A tan head covers it and rises to about a finger and a half in height. It's rather slow to dissipate and leaves a sticky, moderate lacing clinging to the glass. Not bad at all.
The nose is just okay. Pretty average to be honest. It's not all that aromatic. Needs more strength. It starts out with a yeast scent. It's at the forefront throughout. There are some dark fruit notes – fig and a little raisin. It definitely smells malty and sugary sweet. Alcohol is very prominent. Much moreso than I expected. It doesn't smell bad necessarily. Not good though. Needs more substance and less booze.
The flavor is a little better than the nose. Enough to warrant a score bump. It is definitely brown malt and brown sugar up front. Yeast is strong throughout. Dark fruit flavors of raisin and fig are flavorful. It is a bit acidic and spicy. Clove seems to emerge every now and then. There are some interesting hoppy notes that emerge about halfway through. They taste like citric grapefruit. It's an okay flavor, but doesn't work extremely well. Alcohol is strong and boozy. It's a bit warm, as well. Finishes yeasty and boozy.
The body is medium. Carbonation is relatively light and soft. It does feel smooth. Pretty good feel. Nevertheless, the harshness of the alcohol slows consumption a good bit. It's a slow sipper for sure.
Derf's Secret Alt is an alright beer. It's not bad, but it could use a bit of a tune up. Frankly, the alcohol is just too darn strong. If that were toned down a bit, I suspect it'd be improved quite a bit. If you can tolerate that and hang in there, it's alright. Definitely worth a try.

Poured into a Sam Adams tasting glass.
A- Deep garnet/brown with a nice two-finger high head of light tan foam, finely carbonated.
S- Malty and lightly spicy in the nose. Bready malt aromas too...smells great.
T- Fruity and nicely hoppy flavors, nice mingling of the sweet/bitter components...pleasant hop finish.
M- This is a heavyweight for sure, with all that malt packed in it it's very full-bodied. The soft carbonation reinforces that.
O- I'm really liking this one, great complexity in the flavor and I love the body of this one.

25Love It or Leave It: Charlize Theron's Going Grey, Too
Guys! Look at Charlize Theron! See that hair? That haircut? The color? Charlize and I could be head-twins. Or at least, hair-twins; Charlize Theron's got way more on me in the face department, but my hair was that short not too long ago, and I also have the salt and pepper look going on (yes, at twenty-nine). My hair, however, is slightly more dishwater brown than almost-black, but it's like wow. Charlize-girl and I are even going grey in the same places.
You already saw what Charlize looked like as not-a-blonde back in November, and now you can see that she doesn't give a crap about those who don't like it—she looks great and she's rocking the shit out of it.
What do you guys think about Charlize bold head statement?

I think this is fantastic.
Bold beauty statement my ass, bitch best have the cancers.
Oh you. I'm twisting my toe on the floor. Happy New Year.
She looks HORRIBLE. She was the most beautiful woman, but now, not even close. Why do women do that to their hair? It NEVER looks good at all
Because women are human beings (gasp!) who want to look good for themselves (double gasp!) and whose opinion of what looks good isn't uniform (triple gasp!).
Anddddd it is for a movierole. If someone offered me millions to go shorter and run around in a warm country, calling it work, I would be on the first plane over there.
And CT still looks good. She has a face that goes with every hairstyle, unlike some *cough Miley cough*
Because businessmen pay her millions of dollars to cut her hair to be in this thing called movies.
I think this just shows that she is real. She is not living up to the pressures and expectation placed on Hollywood actresses. To look flawless all the time and to have no imperfections. I respect her for going out the house, not caring that she has a few grays here or there. She's not stressing to look perfect, she's just living her life. A few other celebrities should take note from her. She is showing that she is a human being, that ages.
Love it!
Charlize can do no wrong…ever. I can think of more than a handful of other actress's who should be taking notes.
Oh that gorgeous bone structure! She is a piece of walking sculpture.
I am 47 with lots of salt in my previously pepper hair , I deal with it and smirk at other men who have so obviously dyed their hair jet black or shoe leather brown .
I prefer people / women to age naturally , It's sexy in my eyes .
PS: minimal makeup is also hot
F- Off spammer
we do not want your Air j-o-rdan s-h-o-es(1-24) $35,
Sarah , you need a report spam button here on EBG
She looks hot!
I'm loving her haircut and -colour.
She's never really stood out to me before, looks-wise, but this cut really makes her face stand out and allows her facial features to shine, shine, shine. :)
I think there's a lot to be said for just being who you are, including the colour of your hair. She looks great, I'm not going to look like that, but after years of putting a load of crap on my head every 6 weeks, I'm 'growing out' too, and looking forward to it!
She looks fantastic, I love it.
Love it. Total babe. Always.
I love her. She can do no wrong in my book. This just shows how real and not vain at all she is, and if it actually is for a movie role she'll probably win another Oscar for it, so it's a win-win.
She is just the most beautiful woman. I adore that she's ballsy enough to not feel the need to dye her hair and still looks divine.
She is so beautiful! And even more like Carol from Walking Dead :)
she looks great no matter what she does to her hair. i wish i had the guts to see how much grey i have in my hair…..
I suspect that Charlene has had cancer and this is her hair growing back. I just had breast cancer last year and I looked similar to this for awhile. The ravages of chemo claim even the famous. She is a lovely person with or without hair and I wish her only the best in life.

A Montgomery student is headed to the nation's capital to meet President Barack Obama.
It's an incredible opportunity for St. James senior Jared Hunter, one of only two students in the state selected to represent Alabama in the U.S. Senate Youth Program.
Jared will receive a $5,000 scholarship and an all-expense paid trip to Washington, D.C. where he'll get to meet the president and vice president.
During the week-long trip, he'll also have dinner with multiple heads of agencies and
departments, as well as Supreme Court judges and elected officials.
It's an honor the student has earned. Applicants must take a difficult test, write an essay and go through an interview process.
"My interview was the Saturday before Thanksgiving,
at the American Village at Montevallo. They
asked me questions with a strong focus on national and state current events.
Thankfully, I'd brushed up on Governor Bentley's recent trip to Japan, when he
was trying to get more businesses to come to Alabama, because they asked me my
views on that!" Jared said, laughing.
Jared's dream college is Georgetown. In addition to Georgetown, the 17-year-old is considering the University
of North Carolina, the University of Alabama, and Auburn. "It depends on where
I find the best combination of scholarship and academic package," he explained. He says he would one day like to be a U.S. Senator.
What will he ask the president when they meet? "Oh gosh," he says. "Hope I can speak. Ask what advice he would have for someone who wants to follow in his footsteps."
Jared has a long list of achievements. He was named a National Merit Scholarship Corporation National Achievement Semifinalist in September, one of only 1,600 black American high school seniors named to compete for $2.5 million to be offered in the Spring.
Currently, Jared is a student reporter for a special series of webcasts
produced by Alabama Public Television. The programs, Project C: Lessons from
the Civil Rights Movement, are online productions for which Hunter does
on-camera interviews. The series has received more than 650,000 views.

Arielle Gold is an example of the powers of nominative determinism. At just 16 years of age, she became the second youngest snow boarder ever to win the half-pipe gold medal at the FIS World Snowboarding Championship. She has also put in many other fine performances throughout the year, with a bronze at the Winter X Games in SuperPipe now also resting nicely on her parent's mantelpiece. Her success on the senior circuit was preceded by impressive performances on the junior scene. She had been making waves on the FIS tour for quite some time and claimed some silverware at the 2012 Youth Winter Olympics in Innsbruck. Alongside these two great achievements, the young American also has a victory at the Burton European Open and a silver in the US equivalent. Previous to this, in 2012, she won silver in both Slopestyle and halfpipe at the Youth Olympic Games in Innsbruck. Arielle was born 1996 in Colorado, USA with the mountains on her doorstep. Having started off competing in all five snowboarding disciplines, Gold has recently made the move to specialise on half-pipe riding. She's recently ascended into the senior US Snowboarding team and will be looking to add to her Olympic medals collection. Not content with killing it in the mountains, Gold also has a couple of horses to call her own. The more time she spends horsing around on the mountains the better.
