|It's that time again :)
Much to our deep joy and happiness, Autumn is coming to Cornwall. The leaves are turning, the air is cooling and best of all, hallowe'en is just over the horizon! This means our attention has turned from summery blues and greens to deeper, more dramatic winter tones. Coppery colours are definitely in at the minute, often teamed with classic black or more subtle browns but as we get further into the season, that's going to change again in favour of bolder combinations.
It's also party season and we're gearing up for our busiest time of year- stocking up on the basics with lots of traditional eye masks in the classic goth colours - red, black and purple being the big ones of course :) Hallowe'en is also the time men are most likely to let their hair down for a change and dress up to go out so we've made sure we have an assortment of more masculine pieces to keep the boys happy.
To make something really different, we've been changing our patterns and pushing ourselves by looking first at the form we want to create, then working backwards to create a supporting structure that fits comfortably. The cat was fairly simple, once we had the proportions right (thanks to Louie from next door who has become a regular visitor) it was mostly about bridging the nose and cheeks to create a more catlike expression. We added some hair thin whiskers to give a cheeky pre-pounce look - et voila!

A leak from a propane tank forced the evacuation of a Goodwill store in Port Charlotte, according to Dee Hawkins, with Charlotte County Fire and EMS. Hawkins explained the exact location of this store is 2325 Tamiami Trail, near Midway Boulevard.
Residents in a nearby apartment complex were also evacuated as a precaution.
She says the leak has since been stopped. She explained a crew that had been paving on the parking lot didn't see the valve for the buried propane tank and severed it.
Firefighters are now planning a controlled burn to empty the propane tank. No other information was immediately available. But we do have crews heading to the scene and we will update you with any new details right here.

PENDLETON, Ind. —
Pendleton Heights used a 12-4 run in the last five minutes of the first quarter to build an eight-point lead, then made it stand up in a defensive struggle with Muncie Central that ended in a 45-37 Arabians win Saturday night.
"This was a team win," said Pendleton coach Brian Hahn. "The kids really competed hard...we kept fighting and we were determined to win."
He noted that guards Levi Buck and Sean McDermott both got into foul trouble. Buck would foul out with five minutes left in the game, requiring more from the rest of the team. "Everybody had to handle the ball," Hahn said, "Everybody had to make free throws. Everybody had to get rebounds."
Both teams slogged through some tough early play, especially Muncie, as Pendleton's defense smothered the Bearcats. Central managed just 20 points in the first three quarters and shot less than 27 percent (12-of-45) from the field for the game.
"We've come a long way defensively and I think it has become a strength of ours," said Hahn. He put his team into a tight 3-2 zone for most of the second half, and Muncie couldn't crack it.
"We got in foul trouble and we had to try to protect kids," Hahn said, "That was really effective. I thought the best thing we did out of the zone was rebound."
Rebounding was especially vital to the Arabians, who had 23 defensive boards, as their four-board advantage helped make up for the 15 turnovers they committed. Muncie had seven miscues.
Bearcats coach Matt Fine lamented the fact that his team didn't take advantage of the Arabians' careless ball handling. "When we did get a turnover, our conversion rate wasn't very good off of steals," Fine said. "We've got to finish better.
"We didn't quit and we hung in there," he added, "but that's a good ball team."
Austin Brizendine and Kurt Talbert led Pendleton with five rebounds each. Talbert had 15 points as well, one less than teammate Sean McDermott. Jabriel Allen had a game-high 17 for Muncie, and also led the Bearcats with three rebounds.

Eagles Extend Home Winning Streak To 23
FORT MYERS, Fla. – Four Eagles scored in double-figures as the FGCU women's basketball team defeated Lipscomb, 64-45, in front of 1,289 fans at Alico Arena Thursday evening. The victory extends FGCU's home winning streak to 23 games, the fifth-longest streak in the nation.
With the win the Eagles improve to 21-5 overall and 16-2 in the A-Sun, while the Lady Bisons drop to 4-23 overall and 2-15 in conference play.
Sophomore Eglah Griffin (Fort Myers, Fla.) led the Blue and Green with 19 points on 5-of-10 shooting. Chelsea Lyles (Colorado Springs, Colo.) added 13 points and eight rebounds, while Adrianne McNally (Howell, Mich.) chipped in with 11 points.
McNally also added four rebounds, one defensive and three offensive. The defensive rebound was Adrianne's 405th career defensive rebound, giving her the most defensive rebounds in school history, passing the former record holder Robyn Swain. McNally now sits just three total rebounds behind Swain's school record of 640, and four offensive rebounds behind Swain's school record of 236.
The first 10 minutes of the game were filled with traded baskets, with neither side leading by more than five points. At 9:37 remaining in the half, the score was tied at 13. Over the next six minutes the Blue and Green went on a 13-2 run, keyed by a pair of threes from Kelsey Jacobson (Barnesville, Minn.), taking a 26-15 lead with 3:20 to play in the first half. FGCU would take a 29-18 lead into the locker room.
The Eagles opened the second half on a 7-2 run, including a triple and free throw from McNally, giving FGCU a 36-20 lead 2:34 into the period.
A Griffin trey would put the Blue and Green ahead 50-26 with 10:48 remaining. The Eagles would continue to shoot the long ball until the very end, hoisting up a total of 43 threes, on their way to a 64-45 win. Just over a month ago, FGCU set a school record with 46 three-point attempts while playing at Lipscomb.
Jenna Bartsokas led the Lady Bisons with 15 points, and Anna Bowers added 10.
The Eagles wrap up the home portion of the 2009-10 regular season on Saturday night when they host the Bruins of Belmont University at 7:30 p.m. Saturday will also be Senior Night, with seniors Brittany Brown, Chelsea Lyles, and Adrianne McNally to be honored prior to tip-off.

Josh Barnett did everything he wanted to do against Brett Rogers. He landed the better punches on the feet. He scored slamming high altitude take downs. On the ground he eased into the most dominating positions like a knife through butter. Most importantly, he ended with a submission and made him made tap out.
After the fight Barnett did what he wanted as well. He took the mic away from Commentator Gus Johnson -- thus smoothly avoiding any controversial questions. Barnett, a veteran with almost a decade of professional wrestling experience as well as even more MMA experience, is one of the best public speakers in MMA. He's known for his outrageous statements and willingness to bait the crowd. Playing the heel, if you will.
Jonathan Snowden's 52 Things I Love About MMA: Josh Barnett's Rise To Stardom
But not tonight. Tonight Barnett took the mic and literally pleaded for the support of fans. That's a bit of a stretch for the man who was described on air as "the only man in MMA history to fail three drug tests". Barnett's been stripped of the UFC title -- of which he was the youngest ever possessor -- and brought entire promotions down with his inability to get licensed for fights.
All that makes him an unlikely candidate for fan favorite. Frankly, I'd expected Barnett to bait the crowd as he's been known to do. Judging from responses to Barnett's speech on Twitter he'd have been better off doing just that. Some fans were angry that Barnett seized the mic, but more seemed bummed out by the content of the speech.
Take Away: Josh Barnett has his work cut out if his goal is to win over fans.

So what is anime, exactly?
The word anime -- pronounced "ah-knee-may" -- is an abbreviation of the word animation. In Japan, the word's used to refer to all animation. Outside of Japan, it's become the catch-all term for animation from Japan.
For decades, anime was produced by and for Japan -- a local product, with a distinct look-and-feel to not just the artwork but the storytelling, the themes, and the concepts. Over the last forty years, though, it's become an international phenomenon, attracting millions of fans and being translated into many languages. A whole generation of viewers in the West have grown up with it and are now passing it on to their own children.
What is it that makes anime so special?
Most anime fans can sum this up in two words: "It's different." Anime is as unlike most American cartoons as, say, Batman and Spider-Man are different from the comics that run in daily papers. The differences show up in many ways.
- Artwork. Anime art styles range from the flamboyant and outlandish (Samurai Champloo, FLCL) to the simple and direct (Azumanga Daioh!). That said, even shows with more "basic" artwork can still be visually striking; anime finds ways to make everything look fresh and new.
- Storytelling. Anime doesn't shy away from epic storylines, which can run for dozens (sometimes hundreds) of episodes. The best anime, though, no matter what their length, all demand great emotional involvement from the viewer.
- Breadth of material. The sheer range of anime shows out there means a viewer of most any other kind of TV or movies can find an anime series that reflects her interests: hard SF (Planetes), romantic comedy (Fruits Basket), CSI-style crimefighting (Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex), female empowerment (Nana), even adaptations of classic literature (Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo).
- Cultural nuances. Japan's history, language and worldview are woven into a great deal of anime on many levels. Some shows are takeoffs on Japanese history (Sengoku Basara) or raid Japanese mythology for story ideas (Hakkenden, Hell Girl). Even shows that are outwardly non-Japanese in their presentation (Claymore, Monster) have tinges of a Japanese sensibility to them.
What's most striking is how anime's impact is coming full circle. Some recent American cartoon productions, like Avatar: The Last Airbender, are openly inspired by anime itself, and live-action English-language versions of anime titles are starting to come into production.
Is anime a genre?
Because all things anime tend to be lumped together, it's tempting to think of anime as a genre. It isn't -- no more than animation itself is a genre, but rather a description of how the material is produced. Anime shows, like books or movies, fall into any number of existing genres: comedy, drama, sci-fi, action-adventure, horror, and so on.
Is anime okay for young kids?
The short answer: It depends on the show. Because anime's so broad-reaching in its subject matter, it's possible to find anime aimed at just about every age group. Some titles are specifically for younger viewers or are suitable for all ages (Pokémon, My Neighbor Totoro); some are aimed at teens and up (InuYasha); some are aimed at older teens (Death Note); some are for "mature audiences" (Monster) and some are strictly for adults (Queens Blade).
Japanese cultural attitudes about sexuality and violence require some titles to be placed a category higher than they might normally be. Nudity, for instance, is handled much more casually in Japan; sometimes a show that isn't meant specifically for adults will have material which may seem racy to Western viewers.
Anime distributors are generally quite conscious of these issues, and will include either an actual MPAA rating (G, PG, PG-13, R, NC-17) or a TV Parental Guidelines rating as an indicator of what the intended audience is for the show. Check the show's packaging (for a DVD/Blu-ray) or the show's program listing (for a broadcast show).
I don't know anything about anime - how do I get started watching?
The simplest way to do this: go by what you already like, apart from anime. There's a few ways you can go about accomplish this.
- Learn about what shows represent the major genres within anime, and pick the genres you already enjoy watching. A sci-fi / cyberpunk fan, Cowboy Bebop; a swords-and-sorcery fan, Berserk.
- If you already know a friend who's an anime fan, clue them in on what you like to watch -- they should be able to guide you towards what's best and what's new in that category.
For more details on how to do this, see our article "I'm new to anime - where do I start?"

No, WWKD is not the desert's hottest new FM radio station. But it is a shortened version of the hottest question in Cardinals Nation: What Will Kurt Do?
Kurt, of course, is Cardinals QB Kurt Warner, who is coming off another very respectable season, which included flashes of flat-out brilliance. But, as was the case after last season, the 38-year-old signalcaller is once again seriously considering retirement.
What's different this time around is the $11.5 million Warner stands to make should he decide to fulfill the final year of the two-year deal he signed last offseason.
"It's been hard to get a read," said one team insider when asked if he knew what route Warner might take. "He said after the loss to the Saints that he was leaning in a certain direction, but he didn't say which."
The consensus seems to be that Warner will make up his mind relatively quickly. "(His decision) shouldn't stretch past mid-February," the insider said. "He seems pretty committed to that kind of time frame."
At this writing, though, still feeling the effects of the vicious hit by Saints DE Bobby McCray that temporarily knocked him out of the playoff loss in New Orleans, Warner was taking a step back from everything,
"I think he's taking a little bit of time to get away from it all and decompress, to get his thoughts together," Warner's Chicago-based agent, Mark Bartelstein, told PFW.
"I think once his mind is clear, he'll make a decision. He doesn't like to drag things along. He will talk a bunch to Brenda (his wife) and evaluate everything. Kurt is an incredibly bright guy, and he knows what's important to him. The one thing is that, whatever decision he makes, he will make sure he weighs all the factors. If he's going to continue playing, he will have to be completely sure in his mind that the Cardinals do everything possible to remain a team good enough to go to the Super Bowl.
"That's a big thing."
Another big thing Warner will no doubt take into account is his physical condition.
"He has said that his body feels better than it has the last 2-3 years," the insider said. "Given protection, he is as good as he's always been.
"He doesn't have great mobility, and his arm might have lost a little zip, but his anticipation, his timing, hasn't slipped one bit."
PFW has launched its brand-new NFL Draft Newsletter series, with the second issue now ready for mailing and a third issue focusing on underclassmen to be published in the next few weeks. Produced by PFW's player personnel department under the direction of Nolan Nawrocki, the series consists of four information-packed issues.

Some metro Atlanta residents gathered at the Gwinnett County Justice Center on Thursday to show elected officials how the impending tax increase will effect middle class families in Georgia if a fiscal cliff deal is not reached within the next five days.
Several taxpayers made the journey to Congressman Rob Woodall's office in Lawrenceville with bags of groceries in hand. Their mission was to prove a point.
"This is real, this is what we're talking about. This is what is off our table if we don't find a solution to this fiscal cliff," said Sam Gonzales.
Residents said their taxes will go up by about $140 every two weeks, which is enough money to buy a family of four two week's worth of groceries.
Many middle-class families fear the impending tax increase will cripple them financially if a deal is not reached within the next five days.
"When you explain to them that they're looking at over $3,000 in increased income and payroll taxes come Jan. 1 unless congress acts, they realize that's real money with real consequences as illustrated by the groceries," Community activist Jeff Disantis said.
Residents said they would like to see Congress extend the middle class tax cuts before the end of the year and then address the rest of the fiscal fiasco next year.
"We need this money. Every dollar counts and when you take away our ability to actually feed our family and put food on the table, it's very upsetting," taxpayer Sam Gonzales said.
"I'm on a fixed income. Going over the fiscal cliff or not going over the fiscal cliff, it's hard enough. We need to get together, congress needs to come together and do the peoples will," taxpayer Pat Lowery said.
Congressman Woodall was not in his Gwinnett County office Thursday when the group of concerned taxpayers showed up, but his staff did take down their information and promised to pass along their concerns.

Hi guys...I don't post here often but I read regularly. Anytime I have a question of any kind, I always know where I can get an answer.
Anyway, do any of you know a rule of thumb to go by when estimating gravel needed to top a driveway? I'm looking to lay some 2B down on the 190' drive and wonder how many tri-axel loads it would require. I'm thinking that a thickness of 2-3" would suffice.
Thanks for any direction you might provide!

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
"It has nothing to do with drugs or money," insisted Argentina-born Tin Ojeda, the designer behind Drug Money Art, as he organized a rolling rack of his colorful, handmade T-shirts in a NYC studio. "I just spray painted 'Drug Money Art' on a surfboard for fun one day and then took it to the beach—people were tripping on it."
The Montauk-based surfer-turned-designer came to fashion serendipitously. Ojeda's friends raved about his accidentally paint-splashed T-shirts ("Classic artist with paint all over him, I know"), and then, after a day of surfing two years ago, a woman on the beach stopped him to offer her compliments, too. That woman was Julie Gilhart, then the fashion director of Barneys New York, and she wanted to find out where he had bought it. "I told her I made it," Ojeda told Style.com, at an appointment to preview his new collection this week. "It was an old one, with holes and a worn neck, but she loved it and wanted to order them for Barneys." Today, D/M Art's hang-loose unisex shirts, featuring funky screen prints with phrases like "Beauty Is Boring" or yogis on surfboards, are sold in Barneys stores around the country and worldwide in major cities including London, Berlin, and Toronto.
Now, word is spreading far and wide. Fellow Montauker Cynthia Rowley is planning an event with Ojeda for this summer, where she hopes to release his hand-printed "limited-collection books of nonsense photographs and words" along with the debut of his summer collection. And rumor has it Reese Witherspoon's a fan, too—she's reportedly wearing one of Ojeda's shirts in an upcoming movie.

Some people may have seen me on Twitter the last couple of days struggling to get my hands on a copy of Morgan Spurlock's new movie, 'Comic Con Episode IV: A Fan's Hope.' For those not familiar with the movie here's a quick summary:
"A behind-the-scenes look at the fans who gather by the thousands each year in San Diego, California to attend Comic-Con, the world's largest comic book convention."
More at IMDB
It premiered on Friday to a variety of small cinemas in the U.S. and being an Aussie girl I knew there was no way I was going to get to the see the movie that way and had planned to get it on iTunes. (I was so looking forward to this movie, mostly because I'm attending my first-ever SDCC that I wrote the release date in my personal planner weeks ago so I could see it on release day.) Release day, it goes onto the iTunes store and I rush to try and find it on my Apple t.v. But it's not there! Turns out that Comic Con Episode IV: A Fan's Hope is U.S. only on iTunes and on X-Box live, the other online distributor I could have gotten it from.
When people have confronted Morgan Spurlock about this via Facebook and Twitter he comes out with the stock reply of:
and links to the list of video on demand distributors.
I don't think that Spurlock understands that people in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Sweden have all posted on Twitter and Facebook wanting to watch this movie but can't. We're not posting these queries because 'we can't be bothering finding another VOM supplier' it's that, we have and there aren't any. To make this easier for Mr. Spurlock I've made taken these screencaps of what I am greeted with when I try and access this movie by the VOM services I have access to:
I would have posted screen caps from the X-Box live store but it isn't even listed here in the Australian store.
This is disappointing because as much as I could wait for a torrent of it, I wanted to give my money to this project. But they've made it impossible, there is no way for me to do that. They've made my only option; video piracy.
Someone has made the suggestion that I can make a U.S. iTunes account but that involves setting up a second iTunes account and then buying a U.S.-specific iTunes gift card to then use on the store. I refuse to jump through those hoops to have access to media I should just have access to. I'm a consumer, not a show pony.
I was talking with my husband about this after I was disappointed an he said that it's likely that this movie is U.S.-only due to some fairly stringent restrictions on music copyright, or the fact that the distributors figure it's easier not to have the run around dealing with copyright in other countries.
Which is fair, I get that. But I am always annoyed when online distribution is 'U.S. only.' The Internet is global, and is a great, fast way to get your projects coverage at anywhere in the World. The whole idea of distributing your media over the Internet was that you no longer had to worry about shipping or finding somewhere that would stock your product. It's all there to anyone at the click of a button. (Also this movie has been in production for near a year, you'd think in that time someone would have thought, 'hey, perhaps we should have this available in other countries! Let's look into that.) Although judging from the responses people are getting on the official Twitter for this movie it seems that Spurlock himself doesn't realize that people outside the U.S. can't access this movie from their VOM services.
I guess I'm just pissed because as someone who isn't a U.S.-resident I run into a lot of this 'U.S. only' business on the Internet regularly. Once during an episode of Castle they featured a great indy band, and after the show there was a message 'you can get this on iTunes!' I ran to my P.C. and looked up the songs only to find that they were 'U.S. only.'
It reminds me of one of the first ever Conventions I had gone to, David Hewlett (Dr. Rodney MacKay on Stargate) had a panel there that I managed to get to. He talked about media distribution and how he thinks it's shameful how many big media companies don't think outside of the U.S. sandbox. He said that he'd just premiered a new show in the U.S. and a couple of days after release his execs ran to him screaming 'our show has been pirated and downloaded x number of times!!' He just looked at them and asked, 'well, is this show available outside the U.S. yet?' When they shook their heads he grinned and told them that that was part of the problem and was encouraged that so many people had gone out of their way to get his show when it wasn't made available to them. He saw those numbers are promising.
The same companies and distributors who complain about piracy are the ones that are encouraging it by limiting their own product distribution.
Mr. Spurlock, if you are unaware of how limited the current distribution of your new movie documentary Comic Con Episode IV: A Fan's Hope is; let this post be a lesson. If you ARE aware I can only keep my fingers crossed that you are taking steps to see that your movie reaches are a wider audience. By limiting your product you are also limiting the revenue one can earn from said product.

Yamato offers everything you'd expect from a first-rate Japanese drumming troupe. But that's just for starters. The wildly entertaining group of mixed-gender drummers applies the theatrical exhibitionism of a rock 'n' roll concert—seasoned with humor—to samurai-serious percussion playing in concerts that captivate audiences of all ages.
In Rojyoh – The Beat on the Road, on stage at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in Penn State's Eisenhower Auditorium, Yamato celebrates two decades of performing in almost 50 countries around the planet.
"Yamato present Taiko drumming as physical theatre, with a mix of athleticism and showbiz," wrote a critic for The (London) Independent. "… They're exuberant performers, leaping from drum to drum, flourishing drumsticks."
Tickets are still available for the Nov. 12 Center for the Performing Arts presentation.
Watch a video preview of the show.
The anniversary program features nine works created during the company's 20 years of blending tradition and innovation. The show opens with "The Birthplace of Yamato" and includes "Strong Man," a piece performed with a technique in which the drums are flat on their sides and struck horizontally; "The Concentrated Spirit," an attempt to find focus in the age of endless distractions; "The Fire," which pits two female drummers against a pair of male drummers in a number crackling with tension and speed; and "Drumming Like a Camel," a 1998 work that's become a cornerstone of Yamato concerts.
"The sheer physical strength and movement of the drummers was as impressive as the music, in what was a visually spectacular and highly entertaining show," wrote a reviewer for The (York, England) Press. "It is surprising to witness how the company draw out an amazing range of timbre and tempo from the drums, delivering captivating music which has both delicate beauty and heart-thumping bass power."
Masa Ogawa founded Yamato in 1993 in Nara, an ancient city credited as the birthplace of Japanese culture.
Although Yamato's drummers are serious about percussion, they always convey to audiences that they're enjoying themselves. "We carry open, smiling faces into our performances," Ogawa said. "Here, men and women are equals on stage. Our smiles are meant to tickle the serious side of a human being."
Artistic Viewpoints, an informal moderated discussion featuring Kimberly Powell, associate professor of education and art education at Penn State, plus members of the student club Penn State Taiko, is offered in Eisenhower one hour before the performance and is free for ticket holders. Powell, a musician, advises Penn State Taiko and wrote her dissertation about Japanese drumming. Artistic Viewpoints often fills to capacity, so seating is available on a first-arrival basis.

12oz bottle poured into snifter on 05/16/2011.
The body is black with a creamy tan topper. Head dissipates quick and leaves little lace. Shorts has created an interesting beer once again! Nose is of mint, anise, and vanilla. The taste follows with more mint and chocolate. Tasty if you like mint. Medium body and low/medium carbonation. Very smooth and extremely drinkable. Everyone must try this beer- not everyone will like this beer.

Beer review from BA Mag Oct 2007.
This is number 4 out of 13 for their Imperial Beer Series. It's spiced with Madagascar bourbon vanilla beans, fresh chocolate mint and anise seed. Redefining extreme beer again--has anyone else brewed with chocolate mint?
Solid two fingers of foam ride the side of the glass with a tan lacing that sticks here and there. It's good to know when brewers use the word black in the name, that the beer is actually black as well. Big aromas of mint and anise with mellow vanilla to the side, a chocolaty nose with hints of baker's chocolate. Heightened smoothness slowly rolls over the slightly slick full body. Layered explosions of flavor erupt with each sip. First is the anise with a soft but sturdy licorice character, then on to the mint--which is so embedded in the beer that you'd think it were a traditional ingredient. Middle to end comes the vanilla bean with pops and then disappears, which allows the chocolate character to ride the rest of the beer out with an unsweetened baker's chocolate flavor. Minimal hops, lots of malt to take in as well, while the alcohol tries hard to make itself a bit more noticeable, but there is so much going on that it is playing second fiddle for most of the time.
This is certainly one of those beers you wish was year-round, even with the oddball ingredients. The quest to obtain this beer will be worth it.

750ml bottle. #77 of 744.
Pours into my glass a deep black with dark brown edges and a half inch of creamy tan head on top. Nice lacing as well. Aromas start with roasted dark malts along with a mix of herbal black licorice notes. Mint comes through as well as vanilla in the nose. Quite complex with chocolate tones too. Herbally, good show!
First sip brings roasted dark malt upfront that careens into notes of chocolate and vanilla as well. Herbal anise / black licorice flavor moves in quite substantially as the brew flows down with mellow mint accents. It's finishes crisp and roasty with a melding flavor that is somewhat reminiscent of root beer. The anise remains on the palate in the end.
Mouthfeel is smooth and creamy. Easy drinking somewhat lighter lager body. Quite an interesting, complex brew overall. A good one to share with its strong flavor, herbal/spicy profile and aftertaste. If you enjoy black licorice you need to seek this out. Another wonderful experiment by Short's.

Thanks to Exiled for sharing this bottle.
The beer pours a dark brown to black color with a tan head. The aroma is very heavy on the black licorice. I was expecting it due to the name of the beer, but it was still a little surprising that the aroma was that powerful.
The flavor is more balanced. There is a lot of black licorice, but I also get some chocolate, vanilla and roasted malt. The flavor profile was a pleasant surprise.
Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

Thanks to Frazbri for giving me my first taste of this and making me want to try it again. Notes are somewhat old but thorough.
This brew, fairly thick and absolutely black in color, starts off with about 2 fingers of brown head that take a bit of time to dissipate and finishes with a thick, strong foam leaving moderate lacing on the glass.
There's plenty going on in the aroma, though subtle rather than strong. The anise is evident and there's a bit of mint. This beer smells impressively of licorice, considering none is used. There's also a bit of chocolate.
The flavor is strongly of licorice, and there's clearly a lot of skill that went into brewing this one. It's also minty with bittersweet chocolate, and underneath even some vanilla. Considering the high ABV, it's very well masked. There's not much of a hops presence, but there shouldn't be.
The body is full with appropriately very light carbonation. This beer is smooth to the point of slickness. The thickness of the body helps supports the rest of the beer, keeping it working together.
This is an unusual mix of flavors, so it's particular to the drinker, but there's good drinkability to it. ABV keeps it down a touch as well.

Appearance is jet black with a small but creamy head on it, with generous lacing.
One of the best smelling beers I have ever had. A complex smell of chocolates, licorice, and a slight hint of mint are quite present.
Taste really malty, the licorice taste is well balanced with the chocolate, an extremely smooth lager that almost drinks like an american porter, but not quite as heavy.
Very drinkable, if you are looking for something different, buy it, buy it regardless, you won't regret it.

Poured from bomber into snifter. Liquid is a dark brown with a small mocha head that quickly fades. Smell is lots of black licorice, some dark malts, no hops at all. Taste is a very bitter black licorice, sugary dark malt, a slightly toasted flavor, and the finish is more black licorice. Mouthfeel was very heavy with a medium carbonation - I would have liked this one to be a little cleaner. It was tough finishing this one - I give shorts credit for their creativity, but I think there could have been something done to balance out some of the strong flavors in this beer.

Bourbon, corn and then I was getting mostly the mint here, the concoction tasted off, yes lactose. Lager secondary, black coloured body. Some chalky taste, a little roasted malt. Whole thing does not carry together. Rather ordinary though drinkable.Stephen's bottle from a previous batch.Tried again with Steve's bottle, and much better. Soft bodied, licorice and mint, better drinkable..

12oz bottle into tasting glass.
A: pours a deep ruby red, that looks black once settled. The head has great formation and grows steadily. High level of carbonation, with full and fluffy lacing.
S: A very light and clean aroma of subtle roast and a hint at vanilla. Anise comes through on a very slight note.
T/M: Good flavors all around, a well malted lager, that has a light character, but that doesn't compromise on taste. Anise plays a very good role in the lingering finish. The vanilla is very subtle, but does have active role. Very chocolaty mouthfeel, with a clean finish.
O: This is a very well done experimental beer, with a taste of anise that is very well balanced with all the other elements, it does not become over powering. Very interesting brew.

Many thanks to hoppymeal for the bottle. Never thought I'd have the opportunity to try this one. Thanks, Derek.
Bottle #267 of 745
Appearance: It pours a very dark mahogany color. There's only a little light getting through and giving a slight ruby hue. The head is a lighter mocha color and didn't quite reach a finger deep. It receded very quickly and left only light, spotty lacing in its wake.
Smell: The nose is interesting and is unlike any other beer I recall encountering. There's a nice vanilla aroma that kicks it off. It's followed quickly by an interesting spicy scent. It must be anise, obviously. There aren't any other spices of note. Sweet chocolate malt is a bigger player than I expected. Black licorice is noted, but isn't all that strong. Chocolate with a touch of light mint actually plays a larger role in the grand scheme of things here. It's a little yeasty on the tail. Alcohol is very subdued and goes unnoticed.
Taste: The unique character of this beer is even more apparent in flavor. It starts out with an interesting mix of vanilla and anise. It's a nice flavor. Those are very quickly followed by strong black licorice. It's not an overpowering licorice flavor, but more than enough to recognize it. I actually like it quite a bit. Something about it works. That's saying a lot coming from someone who loathes licorice (of any variety). It is a little sweet and a tad sugary. Sweet chocolate and mint are noted toward the end. They seem to take over the flavor once they emerge and linger into the aftertaste. Alcohol is blended extremely well and is not noted at all. Pretty impressive for an 8.2% beer. Finishes sweet and a little spicy.
Mouthfeel/Drinkability: The body feels pretty light, but smooth. Carbonation is active and a little crisp. It's good here, but not elite by any means. Drinkability is good. The flavor is unique and impressive. It doesn't feel like a big beer at all. It goes down quite easy. At 8.2% abv, it's not too scary. I like the flavor, but can't say it lends itself to great drinkability. It's just too much of a novelty.
Black Licorice Lager is an extremely interesting and unique beer. I truly have never experienced a beer quite like it. Given the fact that I hate licorice, I'm surprised that I like it as much as I do. But, it has a very nice flavor and really impresses. I can't say I'm in love with it, but I definitely like it quite a bit. I haven't had much experience with Short's beer, but I am very impressed with what I've had. They certainly have a knack for blazing unchartered territory. This venture is an overall success. Recommended if you can find a bottle.

A- Dark, not much head, doesn't really lace as you drink.
S- Good sweet smell, slight vanilla.
T- The black licorice doesn't come until after you swallow. A nice way to end the taste. Dare I say even a little spicy?
M- Leaves the mouth a little dry.
D- Very good if you are just having one. You can't really tell that its 8%.
Overall I like it, I don't know that I would stock the fridge with it though.

Bottle via trade thanks to Tyson. Shared at a tasting hosted by Sandstone.
Pours dark brown, nearly black, with a creamy tan head and good lacing.
Aroma is anise, root beer, vanilla, chocolate, mint, and caramel. Interesting.
Flavor is very strong on the licorice plus a little roast and bourbon, spices (especially mint), vanilla, and lots of sarsaparilla/root beer.
Palate is medium-full and fairly smooth with somewhat soft carbonation. Overall this beer is good and very different. My only real criticism is that drinkability is not terribly high.

12 oz. bottle poured into a pint glass. No bottle date and I don't even know where this came from. Maybe Marc? Just found it in the fridge and figured it needed to be consumed sooner rather than later.
Appearance - Nearly black body with just the faintest of red coming through when I hold it up. Nice khaki head that clings to the glass and maintains a thick collar with nice surface foam.
Smell - Musty mint leaf aroma. Chocolate malt and just a touch of licorice in the nose.
Taste - A lot more licorice here. Hits immediately with a dose of chocolate. Mint lends a bit of acidity to the flavor throughout. The blend is odd at certain points. I find myself focusing on different aspects with each sip. I don't discern the vanilla, though.
Mouthfeel - Pretty thin. Easy drinking, except for some of the wild flavors. Well carbonated.
Overall - Not sure how I feel about it. Sometimes I like the flavors, sometimes they seem off. As I click Review, I like it. That could change by the end of the glass.

Cheers to MarcatGSB for this long-time want! Some sort of dating code, couldn't really read it, it was smeared a bit.
Pours a chestnut-tinged mahogany with a finger of tan head. Not much lacing or head retention
S: Herbal & faint bready notes. Sarsaparilla & mint as this warms
T: Herbal & licorice notes a long with toasty & roasty malt notes. Spear minty notes come through as this warms, along with sarsaparilla & licorice, plus dryness.
MF: Medium bodied/chewy, subtle carbonation
I really enjoyed this, a well executed one-off that didn't disappoint

12 oz bottle into a pint glass.
Pours a deep cola-brown in the glass (with some ruby along the edges) and is topped with a finger of foamy mocha colored head. This retains with a tight ½ finger of creamy froth, which leaves back a robust and sticky cascade of lace. The aroma smells just as advertised, with notes of licorice, vanilla, and a dark and ripe fruity tanginess. There's a touch of fresh mint flavor across the back of the nose as well, while just a touch of floral accents round out the edges. This is nice.
The taste changes things up a bit, with more malty notes of cocoa and caramel being at the forefront of the profile but I'm always picking up some vanilla and a ripe (and slightly tart) fruitiness to this as well. An earthy bitterness is present and adds a bit of assertiveness to this. Anise comes out across the back, lingering in an overall tart and tangy feeling finish. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, with a smooth crispness to this that glides along easily in the mouth. Maybe just a smidge of light warmth to this but nearly enough to tell me that this is 8%.
My experience with this beer pretty much mirrored the one that I had with it on draft last year. The nose really delivering the promised flavors (and it seemed even a bit more here in the bottle) but the flavor, while still good, just didn't bring it as hard. This is still a really tasty and unique offering from Short's though and I'd definitely recommend checking it out if given the chance.

Split bottle into my Captain Lawrence stemmed glass. One of 16 bottles of Short's beers received in a very generous trade with kzoobrew, thanks Kevin!
Appearance: Black with no light penetrating. Two and a half finger tan head that recedes pretty quickly.
Smell: Smells like chocolate chip mint ice cream. I never though that mint would play the kind of role in the smell that it does. It is interesting, can not decide if I like it or if it is just that I am intrigued by it. I do not really smell the vanilla beans, its very "mint forward".
Taste: Very interesting. Nice and sweet. Mint is the main player and works great with the beer. Tastes like chocolate chip mint ice cream as in the smell, just scaled down a little. I think a dark lager was a good choice for the use of the mint leaves as they meld really well into the flavor of the beer but are not over powered by the roasty grains. Once again I struggle to find the vanilla, maybe it blends really well with the mint flavor. Very nice sweet malf flavors in the background.
Mouthfeel: To style, on the thinner side with decent carbonation.
Overall: Solid beer and I would certainly love to have this again. I doubt I would want more than a 12 oz bottle to myself in one sitting but certainly an enjoyable beer and a great way to be introduced to this creative and innovative brewery.

Massive thanks goes out to beeruser for sharing this one with funkydelic and I at an impromptu tasting! Served from bottle into a Mikkeller sampler wine glass. Poured a deep dark brown with a minimal slightly tan off-white head. Maintained decent lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt, fruit, smoke, and licorice. The flavor was of sweet malt, nutty, and licorice. It had a light feel on the palate with mild carbonation. Overall this was a decent brew. Nothing on this one really made me want to drink a whole lot of it. It was very interesting that they were able to tie the licorice into this beer very effectively, but I was not a fan of the flavors that came along with it. Worth trying for any licorice fan, but I would leave it at that...

A very pretty beer, deep mahogany with crimson glow in the light. Minimal head, but carbonation is present in the sip. Nose is stront of anise, black licorice and sweet malt dominate the nose. Flavor overall is very confusing. Avery complex beer, but almost too many flavors. Mint comes through near the finish, but the licorice and chocolate flavors linger throughout. Sweet vanilla front with lingering licorice and a touch of bitterness.
Very unique brew, glad I got to try it. Not really a fan of licorice though..

Poured from 12oz bottle. Thanks to semibaked for this wonderful new Short's beer.
A- Pours a almost black color...more of a super deep brown. When held to the light there is amberish tint to this beer on the sides. One finger tan head shows light retention like most Short's beer. Light streaks of lace are left on the glass.
S- Anise shows in the front of the aroma profile for a quick second before retreating behind of chocolate malt profile. Middle of the beer shows a strange mint aroma that I wasn't expecting with this beer. Towards the end of the nose there is a lingery breadness to it along with a hint of darker fruit which is then covered by a mint/anise combo. A very interesting beer aroma.
T- Darker bready malts in the front of the beer interact with a darker fruit as well. Anise comes into play toward the ending of the front of the beer giving off a nice black licorice flavor. Middle of the beer calms with hints of chocoalte and toasted malts. Ending shows the chocolate mixing with mint which gives off a nice girl scout cookie flavor. Anise comes back in the backend with a hint of alcohol to finish it up.
M- Medium mouthfeel. Carbonation is good for the beer. Anise, chocoalte, mint, and hints of bready malts are left on the palate. Aftertaste is alcohol, chocolate, mint, and anise. Flavors were actually well blended together. No off flavors at all where present while drinking this beer. Medium alcohol drying left on the palate.
O- This beer was interesting to me as to be honest I didn't think I would like it. The flavors were very well blended and no one flavor outshined the others. ABV is a little high but it never really shows itself while drinking this beer. Overall another great beer from Short's!

(12oz bottle courtesy of rayl101! Pours black with a nice fluffy khaki head. When held up to the light, you can see its actually dark brown with some ruby hue. Active carbonation, but the bubbles are very small. Wow! Aroma is very powerful. Anise, chocolate and mint are prominent . I'm having trouble detecting the vanilla initially. There is a mint chocolate chip ice cream (which happens to be my favorite) thing going on with the aroma. Taste is sweet with a nice mix of anise and chocolate mint again. There is some bitterness, but its mostly roasty rather than hoppy. Medium bodied with a slick texture. Finish is smooth and seems like it cleanses the palate as anise and chocolate mint tend to do. This is a pretty unique beer and one that I enjoyed. If you don't like anise or chocolate mint, then you will have a tough time with this.

First off, a big thanks to erikkoppin for this great extra I've been saving for the right night. Cheers!
Appearance - Pours just an utter black viscosity with zero light showing through or around the edges of the glass. About two fingers of mocha colored head are achieved that dissipates relatively quickly leaving little lacing.
Smell - Chocolate, slight earth funk, licorice, vanilla, oak. Smells quite good.
Taste - The initial taste reminds me of Old Viscosity to be honest. Molasses at the forefront followed by definite black licorice, bittersweet dark chocolate, vanilla, oak, and alcohol.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied (though on the lighter side), lower carbonation, finishes a hint bitter.
Drinkability - I'm not sure what a "Euro Dark Lager" is, especially since there is no description on this site. However, I will say...it does not blow me away. Short's, in my opinion, has done better with other beers. This is decent, but honestly, when they give a description of how the beer "should" taste (i.e. licorice) one normally cannot deny that the beer indeed does taste exactly like it (i.e. Imperial Spruce India Pilsner...holy pine trees). Here, I do not get the same. The licorice flavor is lackluster, though it is noticeable. Overall not a bad beer, but short (pun intended) of what I expected from Short's.

"A Palestinian state has never been farther away than it is today," said Dani
Dayan on Monday, as he spoke with reporters in the Psagot winery on the last day
of his almost six-year stint as head of the Council of Jewish Communities of
Judea, Samaria and the Gaza Strip.
Dayan chastised the settlers that he
charged drove former MK Bennie Begin (Likud) out of the Knesset. He also
criticized Migron residents for breaking the council's 2008 agreement with the
government, a move that he said led to the outpost's relocation last
The 57-year-old secular hitech businessman took over the council
in July 2007, when it was demoralized in the aftermath of the 2005 disengagement
and the violent clashes between settlers and border police during the demolition
of nine homes in the Amona outpost in 2006.
Relaxing with the reporters
over breakfast, Dayan recalled that in July 2007 when he was voted in, Ehud
Olmert was prime minister with a mandate to withdraw from isolated
At the time, new construction permits were almost
nonexistent and the Defense Ministry was focused on keeping the government's
promise to the United States to demolish 24 West Bank outposts built after Ariel
Sharon became prime minister in March 2001, Dayan explained.
"That was
the singular topic: how and when will we evacuate those outposts," Dayan said.
Now, he said, the government's philosophy has shifted to one that looks to
legalize outposts, including those 24.
Some of them have indeed been
authorized, he added.
Dayan weathered an unprecedented 10-month
moratorium on new settlement building, and leaves at time in which the
government has issued a high number of building approvals and permits. Most
notable was Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's decision to advance plans to
build 3,500 new homes in an unbuilt area of the West Bank settlement known as
Obviously, he noted, that not all the changes were because of his
leadership of the council.
"Not everything was because of us [the
council]," he said, "but we have made a contribution."
He noted that the
number of settlers had grown in the last five years. According to the Central
Bureau of Statistics, there were 276,100 settlers in Judea and Samaria in 2007,
and 325,500 in 2012.
"The settlements today are blossoming," he said.
"There is almost no settlement without construction."
In the last five
years the idea of evacuating settlements has been rejected, and there is a drop
in support for a Palestinian state, said Dayan.
He acknowledged that
under his watch, the Migron outpost had been evacuated and five apartment
buildings, housing 30 families, had been demolished in the Ulpana
He described himself as a "tactical pragmatist" who did not
believe that every demolition of a modular home was an evacuation.
can compromise on the path, while holding firm to the objective," he
But he noted, that evacuated outpost residents were relocated close
to their former homes. What is significant, he said, is that the entire
framework and criteria of viewing outposts has changed from a diplomatic one of
evacuation from the West Bank to an internal discussion over private property
In 2007, the issue was the date the outpost was created,
because Israel was evaluating the situation from a diplomatic perspective and
its relationship with the United States, he said.
"The great achievement
was that the arbitrary parameter of when the outpost was established has ceased
to exist," he said.
As he looks to the future of the settlement movement,
Dayan told reporters, it's the internal dangers that he fears, not the external
The moral issues aside, he said, price-tag attacks against
Palestinians pose "one of the greatest dangers" to the settlement movement, he
"It sounds leftist, but it is one of the most right-wing
critiques," he said.
Similarly, he said, it is in the best interest of
the settlement movement to normalize Palestinian lives in the West
Price-tag attacks as well as Palestinian hardship in the West Bank
help fuel the international fight against Israel's control of the area, he
Dayan chastised the Migron resident for violating a 2008 agreement
he worked out with the government to relocate them to the Geva Binyamin
settlement, once permanent homes were built.
"They could still be there
now," he said.
The government evacuated them because they built three new
homes on the outpost in violation of the agreement, ignoring warnings that this
was a mistake, he said..
Settlers, he said, have gained political power
in the last five years, but now need to use it more wisely. Settler political
attacks against former MK Bennie Begin (Likud) were responsible for his failure
to retain his Knesset seat, said Dayan.
This was a mistake, he
Should the possibility of territorial withdrawal reemerge, he will
be needed, Dayan said.
"In our true hour of need, we will have to seek
him out with candles," Dayan said.
A native of Argentina, Dayan came to
Israel with his family in 1971, at age 15. He moved from Tel Aviv to the Ma'aleh
Shomron settlement in 1986, where he still lives with his family.
At age
26, he created and then headed a software company, which he sold a few years
before becoming the council's fifth leader, replacing Benzi
Unlike past leaders, Dayan dedicated himself fully to that
role and was not simultaneously the head of a regional council in Judea and
Dayan's Spanish and English speaking abilities made him an
emissary to the international community.
He met with ambassadors and
visiting dignitaries. As a tribute to the status he brought to the position, he
became the first council head to be invited to speak at the prestigious Saban
Forum in Washington, DC.
He had intended to resign in the spring, but
advanced his resignation so that he could back the Likud party during the
elections, Dayan said.
In the future, he said, he envisions himself as a
"foreign minister" for the settlement movement.
The council and the
settlement movement needs a foreign policy arm to solicit international
diplomatic support in a way that goes beyond public relations, which focus
primarily on the media, he said.
Of his time in the council, he said, "I
enjoyed almost every moment." But he noted, "If [Bank of Israel Governor]
Stanley Fisher can resign, so can I."

Here we now have a report regarding the Arkansas St. Red Wolves roster that goes against claims made by ASU players. We live in interesting times. Moments after two Red Wolves welcomed Auburn Tigers running back Michael Dyer to Jonesboro, Richard Davenport of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette denied the news:
@ArRecruitingGuy The rumors of Michael Dyer to ASU are false. He plans to meet with Chizik and remain at Auburn.
Dunno, but kinda lean toward the players on this one until we hear otherwise.
Once Auburn offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn left Auburn to take the ASU head coaching job, speculation increased that the suspended Dyer could leave town. He's succeeded in Malzahn's scheme on the Plains, and would presumably have a chance to put up impressive numbers in the Sun Belt as well.

The Alpine AHVA Multi-Position Air Handler, made by Midea, provides user-flexibility with installation options for upflow, downflow or horizontal applications. These versatile models may be used for split-system cooling or heat pump operation. Compact cabinets along with return air options - in both the upflow and horizontal positions—allow this unit to fit into tight spaces such as attics, crawl spaces, and closets.
Inside air conditioning systems are liquid/gas refrigerant. There are two types of this refrigerant available for use, R-22 (more commonly known as Freon), and a newer alternative R-410A.
An air conditioning system does not consume refrigerant, but reuses it. As long as there are no leaks in the refrigerant circuit, there is no need to ever add more refrigerant to an air conditioning system.
Although R-22 is an effective refrigerant, if it is released into the atmosphere it can contribute to the depletion of the Earth's ozone layer. The EPA has mandated the phasing out the use of R-22. It is being replaced by R-410A.
As of 2010, manufacturers are required to make all new air conditioners with R-410A. However, R-22 is still available for sale in existing pre-2010-manufactured equipment, and for use in servicing existing R-22 equipment. By 2020, R-22 will no longer be manufactured, but will still be recycled and available for sale.
There are three main type of blowers: Multi-Speed, High-Efficiency Multi-Speed, and Variable Speed.
Standard Multi-Speed blowers have different speed options and you select the speed that the blower will operate at depending on the function it is performing (ex. different speeds for fan, AC, and heating functions).
High-Efficiency Multi-Speed blowers are designed to maintain a constant torque and in doing so will maintain air-flow and use less electricity.
Variable Speed blowers will adjust their speed during operation. The result is a blower that will run at lower speeds for longer periods of time (this improves the air flow and increases electrical efficiency).

DOB: October 24, 1983
Hometown: Thomasville, North Carolina
Early Career
Vickers began racing go-karts when he was 10 years old. He was a quick study, winning eighty races and three World Karting Association championships over the next three years. In 1998, Vickers graduated to the Allison Legacy Series, where competitors race a 3/4 replica of a Sprint Cup series car. The transition was smooth and Vickers won five races. After competing in the Dodge Weekly Racing Series in 1999, he moved to the USAR ProCup, winning two races and being named Rookie of the Year in 2000. Vickers followed that up with five more wins and a second-place finish in points.
Nationwide Career
Vickers made his Nationwide Series debut in 2001 in a car owned by his father, Clyde. Over two years and 25 races, Vickers and his father managed nine DNFs and just one top-10 finish. Still, he must've demonstrated some ability, because in 2002, he was signed to run for Hendrick Motorsports.
The rest, as they say … in 2003, virtually his only full Nationwide season, Vickers won three races, finished in the top five 10 other times and won the series title. At the age of 20, he became the youngest driver to win the title. In the four years since (he skipped 2004 entirely), he has run just a total of 33 races, earning just three other top-five finishes.
NASCAR Career
Vickers' Nationwide apprenticeship was a short one. He made his Cup debut for Hendrick Motorsports at Charlotte in the fall of 2003. In five races that fall and three other full seasons with one of the sport's best teams, the promising young driver managed just one win. In fact, in the 108 races with Hendrick between 2004 and 2006, he managed just 10 top-five finishes and; his best points finish was 15th in 2006.
Both Hendrick and Vickers had expected far greater things, and, as a result, the organization decided to move in another direction. Let go by Hendrick, Vickers moved to Red Bull Racing, a new team, for 2007. In 23 races, Vickers managed five top-10 finishes and 38th-place in points. Though still winless since his only victory in 2006, Vickers and the young Red Bull team improved in 2008, with three top-five finishes and 19th in points, helping restore the faith in the ability Hendrick saw in Vickers in 2003.
