Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12 oz bottle into a pint glass.
Appearance: It has a quick fading off white head over an orange amber body with a light haze.
Smell: I don't get much here, just a light spiced maltiness.
Taste / Palate: There is a mild bready malt base with some dry spice notes like clove and coriander. I am also picking up a touch of bitter orange peel. It's palate feels light and the finish is quick and somewhat boring.

Rudy's is a bright, clear medium orange. While I know it's a Winter Warmer without having to read the label, the look isn't typical. That's no difference to the beer except to say it doesn't have the usual similarities to porter that the style leans toward. The white head is slightly more than wispy and somewhat weakly constructed, but decent once it's settled. Lace is dropped in moderation.
This beer is fairly simple. There's not much sweetness from spice, being more of a "kitchen spices" blend, slightly hot and more earthy than anything. There is a light sweetness not from spicing, likely from caramel malts, and the typical Saranac house yeast strain is easily distinguishable.
Crispness is foremost in the feel, and it seems like it's focused on a bit too strongly, but there's about a medium body to this beer with plenty of activity. it fades a little at the end, though, and it seems it just bites too hard and may be covering up that there's not much else to the mouthfeel.

12oz bottle poured into a snifter. Best by March 31, 2014.
A: Pours a golden amber with a dense slightly yellowed head. A little under average visible carbonation. Leaves some decent lacing on the glass.
S: Spice is immediately noticeable upon first whiff. Heavy on the cinnamon, certainly allspice and nutmeg in there too. Does smell like a christmas cookie.
T: As with the aroma spice is dominant. Isnt overpowering or cloyingly sweet but certainly the focus of the beer. Is a mild drinkable blend when it comes to some of the heavy hitting winter warmers. Aftertaste
M: Medium body that is perhaps a bit light for a winter warmer. Finish is clean and not too sweet.
Overall its a tasty winter warmer that is focused on the spice. Doesnt overdo itself and compromise its drinkability.

2.65/5 rDev -16.1%
Appearance - Pours clear and golden in color with a white finger width head. Fair retention leads to a thin, broken layer of suds across the surface. Fair lacing with decent stick.
Smell - Hmmm... lightly smells like a fruitcake.
Taste - Not much to it. Light notes of bread, fruit and 'Christmas' spice. Watery aftertaste.
Mouthfeel - Light to medium in body with moderate carbonation. Watery finish.
Overall - Not impressed. Probably one of the lightest winter warmers I've had, both in flavor and mouthfeel. Not good. My third Saranac brew from this variety 12-pack, and none have been impressive thus far. I don't expect big things from the other three.

12 oz. bottle from mixed winter 12 pack poured into a pint glass. Pours a light copper with good clarity and a somewhat resilient cap of very light tan foam. Lighter than expected for a self proclaimed amber for sure.
Very light on the aroma and a bit steely. Faint hint of cinnamon/nutmeg and with no real hop presence initially, emerging faintly with warming. Rather neutral in flavor with fullish pale malts up front, turning to a somewhat oily sweet then spicy conclusion. Notes of nutmeg and peppermint sprinkles linger fairly well. Full feel is pleasant and supportive given other parameters and expectations. Decent balance in that light spicing fits a light bodied brew. In line with brewery experience in the end, predictably ok. Not really a Winter Warmer per se, yet that's as good as any other style bucket for it.

From the 12 fl. oz. bottle no. BB-Mar 31, 2014-2703-0925. Sampled on November 21, 2013.
The pour is mostly golden yellow with a short-lived white head but consistent carbonation.
The aroma is of toasted and muffins, nutmeg, and other mellow spices. Not a noticeable hop aroma but a kind of cardboard like feel too.
The body is light to moderate with a touch of acidity and the texture fades to bubbles quickly on my tongue.
Ant spices and malts on the nose tend to step forward in the taste momentarily to be swept away by an earthy and bitter hop finale.

2.71/5 rDev -14.2%
A: Mesmerizing rise of carbonation ascends like beads on a string within a pale orange body. Topping is a bit thin, skimy, dirty white in color, with no holiday dressing on the vessel.
S: Spicing is light, smells a bit like fresh mistletoe, light sugar cookie, lacking much of a holiday festive appeal. boring.
T: Flavor of sugar cookie, dry, grainy, a bit of nutmeg dusting but really low key lager like offering. Touch of mistle toe greenery, without the poisonous effect of course, leaves with a strange aftertaste that is hard to pinpoint.
M: Syrupy mouthful, decent body, carbonation feels relaxed.
O: Overall unexciting, lacking much holiday spirit and spicing. Nose is virtually non-existent, flavor is rather bland, unfestive with a six pack being a non-recommended factor. Falls below average regards for me, a snoozer that never leaves the gate or defines holiday spirit. bah humbug.

12 ounce bottle, stamp on bottle says best before March 31, 2014. Got this bottle from a friend 2 weeks ago so I didn't get a chance to try it fresh. Served in a pint glass, the beer pours a clear copper color with about an inch off-white head. Head retention and lacing are both decent. Aroma is light but nice, the brew smells like caramel and toasted malt, and light sweet spices. I think the taste is the same as the aroma, but the flavors seems stronger in the taste as compared to the weak aroma. Mouthfeel/body is light/medium, it's a bit coating with moderate carbonation. It's not one of the better winter warmer/spiced ales I've had, it's really low on the amount of spicing that's in this brew. Not that it's a bad beer, but I think it's a Christmas ale that doesn't have much kick to it. Maybe I'll try it again next year if I can get a single somewhere.

Buying a home as-isby Gerry Barker, Florida Home
Bank Rate
There's a lot of good home buys in this current real estate market – but gambling on an as-is house can be either a bargain or a bust for potential homeowners. So, how do you determine whether it's a sound financial move? Let's take a look.
When buying an as-is home … what you see is what you get. But what you don't see can cost you money — lots of money and can ruin any potential bargain you thought you got when you purchased your home, as-is.

IBM conducts a biannual study of global CEOs to determine the latest trends in global organizations. In a HBR chat, Saul Berman and Stephen Hasselmann discuss some of the findings from their recent study. If you have an hour to invest, the recording is well worth the time; otherwise the highlights are available here.
The key takeaway from both the study and the chat is the value of connecting employees, partners and customers. Technology is changing rapidly and the advances that result are changing the business and economic landscape for most companies. We are more connected than ever and the most effective CEOs not only understand this but embrace it.
The study highlights three main beliefs of exceptional CEOs which are:
- Organizational openness and collaboration
- Engaging customers as individuals
- Amplifying innovation with partnerships
Essentially, these CEOs understand that collaboration drives innovation and a shared purpose drives motivation. Providing quarterly updates on company performance, the mission and future goals helps drive an open culture where employees understand and support the company's vision. As a result, employees can become more empowered by making task related decisions; such as scheduling collaboration sessions or determining procedures. This results in job enrichment which can increase motivation.
Additionally, these CEOs understand the power of social media and tailoring products and services to individual needs. Engaging with customers allows organizations to improve response and accuracy to market needs. Nilofer Merchant wrote a great series on the Social Era stating that organization need to have conversations with customers; they should be sharing experiences, not telling customer what to think and how to act.
Finally, these CEOs understand that partnerships can push collaboration beyond traditional boundaries. Every organization has a set of core competencies, specific skills that they excel at, and the best CEOs form partnerships around these core competencies. Instead of trying to do everything in-house, they work with other organizations to generate new revenues sources or even create new industries.
However, understanding and embracing the value of connections is useless if an organization does not invest in the tools and resources needed to connect employees to colleagues, customers and business partners. Video conferencing and UC solutions are a critical component of any savvy organization's IT strategy. These solutions allow people to connect effortlessly, as well as, develop trust and strengthen relationships through face-to-face communication and casual interactions.

JACKSON, TN (AP) - Police in West Tennessee have caught a man, who has been charged with breaking into two houses where women were home, and taking off his clothes.
After the suspect was spotted in Madison County, schools were locked down for more than two hours beyond dismissal time.
According to The Jackson Sun (http://bit.ly/16zuWKj ), officers arrested 41-year-old Dustan Smith, who was spotted running from a Dollar General Store near Rose Hill Elementary School on Wednesday afternoon.
Smith was sought in two break-ins in neighboring Henderson County.
Authorities said women in two Lexington homes said they awakened on Saturday to find Smith in their homes naked. One reported he was one top of her when she woke up.
He is jailed on charges of burglary and sexual battery.

So are most of the Vikings' 2012 opponents.
This year's Walker football schedule features six playoff teams from 2011, including three coming off school-record seasons (Hueytown, Center Point and Pinson Valley).
Walker faces a much different schedule despite staying in Class 5A, Region 6.
Defending state champion Hartselle, along with Cullman and West Point, made the move to Region 8 while Brewer went to Region 7.
New region opponents for Walker include: Moody, Pinson Valley, Center Point and Springville to go along with hold overs Curry, Hayden and Mortimer Jordan.
Walker took home third in the region last season, losing to Fort Payne in the opening round of the playoffs to close with a record of 6-5, the Vikings' lowest win total in coach John Holladay's five years at the school.
Walker opens the season against rival Cullman. The teams were in the same region each of the last eight years. This season, the game is a non-region contest at Cullman's Oliver Woodard Stadium. The Vikings and Bearcats are meeting in the season opener for the first time since 1940. Cullman won last year's game 17-14 with a field goal as time expired. The Bearcats have won six of the last seven meetings.
The rivalry has been evenly matched through 66 games with Walker holding a 33-31-2 all-time lead and Cullman outscoring the Vikings 1,044 to 1,018.
The following two weeks feature teams Walker has never faced.
Moody makes the trip to Ki-Ro Gambrell Field in Week 2. The Blue Devils (1-9) have struggled over the last two seasons, going 1-19. Moody brings a nine-game losing streak into the season.
Walker faces a region test in Week 3 with a trip to Pinson Valley. The Indians (9-3) set a school record for wins and a school record for points scored last year.
Pinson Valley also gave Hartselle its closest game of the season, losing 22-21 to the Tigers in the second round of the playoffs.
The Vikings host Curry in Week 4. Curry (5-6) is coming off its first playoff trip since 2002. The Yellow Jackets' three region wins last year were also the most since 2002. Walker owns the series, winning 15 straight including a 33-6 win last year.
Walker plays Russellville for the third straight season in Week 5 when the Golden Tigers (5-6) make the trip to Jasper. After losing six straight games to Russellville, Walker has won two straight in the series. The Vikings won 32-17 on the road last season.
The Tigers had their first losing season since 1997 last year while snapping a stretch of 11 straight double-digit win seasons.
The Vikings dominate Week 6 opponent Hayden. The Wildcats (5-5) are 0-6 all time against Walker and have been outscored 261-31 in the series. Hayden makes the trip to Walker this season.
Walker travels three of the last four weeks.
The first trip is to Center Point (formerly Erwin) in Week 7. Center Point (11-2) set a school record for wins in a season last year. Walker played the Eagles every year from 2000 to 2009. The Vikings have won the last three meetings.
Walker hosts Mortimer Jordan (3-7) in Week 8 in the regular-season home finale. Walker has won five in a row against the Blue Devils, including a 45-20 road victory last year.
Springville is the destination in Week 9. The Tigers (5-5) are moving up to 5A after spending the last two years in 4A. Springville made the playoffs each of its last two years in 5A (2008-09), but went just 8-12 over the last two years.
Springville won the last meeting between the teams, 14-6 in 2009.
Walker closes the season against what promises to be one of its toughest opponents, Hueytown.
The Golden Gophers (13-1) set a school record for wins and points last year. They averaged a staggering 44.8 points per game.
Walker last played Hueytown in 2005, winning 26-14.

Pua: Did you check their early withdrawal penalties? I could not even find Nationwide listed on Best Cash Cow or other samelike sites that list such banks and rates. One thing I did notice is that it got some pretty bad reviews from customers who were not happy with it. Before you put that much money into Nationwide, I would do more research on what it's standing is with Bankrate and Bauers etc. It seems odd that it is not mentioned not only on DA but other samelike sites.

I think Harvard should take on this beer as a case study in Marketing, or perhaps contract brewing.
Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a pint glass it forms a nice dark head that lingers for a while and continues as moderate lacing on the glass. Taste and Mouthfeel disappoint. This is a shallow cousin, perhaps second cousin, of what this beer was ten years ago.
Living in San Diego I've been tasting this beer for many years, but would always cherish a trip to the East Coast to enjoy the real Sam. The one I served in 1986. The one that dethroned many a European beer 20 years ago as for my favorites. Alas, my last two trips have convinced me that that Sam is gone. Sam Adams BL in Boston is now the same as Sam Adams BL in San Diego. The lowest common denominator has won. This is a very sad day. The beer is boring and lifeless now, devoid of much character and tastes as if it's been pasteurized.
edit: Feb. 2009
Poured a bottle of Sam into my new Boston Lager glass. Color is lighter still, golden at best, and clear with a reduced head. Malt presence remains washed out. A bit smoky on the nose, rather dry. What happened to those Vienna malts? I pick up more hops but with a diacetyl butter flavor. Can't retain or regenerate any head. 'A head so thick you can float a bottle cap on it'? I don't think so. The degradation continues. June 2009 freshness date from a Brewmaster's Collection mixed case.
At this rate we'll have Sam Adams Boston Water by 2015. Bon Soir...

Appearance The one poured a light, clear orange. It had some good, active carbonation with a soft, off-white head that showed excellent retention.
Smell The American grain came out first. It wasnt as harsh as it is in many US macro beers. The light, kind of citrusy hops were very pleasant and the even malt aroma was even better.
Taste The hops were more prominent at the taste. The malt backbone came out quite nicely as well.
Mouthfeel This lager is light to medium-bodied with some good carbonation and a nice dryness throughout.
Drinkability This is a good micro-macro beer.

On tap at the Town Pump in Detroit. Poured a light copper color with a pretty thick, creamy looking head that was very inviting. Nice up front hop aroma, fairly mild, along with malts and grains - nice parity among the different smells going on. The first taste hits you with a little bit of the hop bitterness followed by a nice sweet and malty body. Call me crazy, but I tasted just a BIT of faint apple flavors in there, along with maybe some other kind of fruit. By the end, some more floral flavors came out but the malty finish also got stronger. A very crisp beer, thanks to the carbonation with an overall thin body, very smooth going down.
Considering a company as large as Samuel Adams, it's still obvious that they put a lot of care into their brews. As far as the "larger" brew companies go, this is some of the best. Easy to drink and session with and it blows BMC beers out of the water, especially for the relatively low price.

A: A deep good with excellent clarity. The persistent off-white head is comprised of compact bubbles.
S: A low Noble hops aroma that is a bit earthy and spicy. There is a moderate amount of German malt character although I don't know whether that's Vienna or Munich but I get there. Otherwise a fairly clean lager with no inappropriate aromas.
T: A soft malt flavor at a moderate level. There is a moderate hop bitterness with a little bit of a spicy hops flavor. The balance is about even between the malt and the bitterness. The finish is somewhat dry with a the malt flavor and hops bitterness in the aftertaste.
M: A smooth medium-light bodied beer with moderately-strong carbonation.
O: A good Vienna lager that pairs well with food. This is a flavorful lager but there are other examples that have really impressed me.

This lager has a nice, amber color which sets it apart right away.
It has a nice hop/malt balance in the nose with citrus and pine blending with caramel malt.
Taste is similar to the nose, medium bodied with earth, citrus, and caramel.
A very solid lager that goes well with a number of foods or just as a tasty session beer. A good standby for restaurants.

This is a light, hazy, orange-tinged beer with absolutely no head as it was served. Smells are very faint but lightly malty. Taste is prettymuch classic vienna lager I guess. It has a sweet and toasty malt base with a bitterness that only really shows itself toward the finish. Alcohol is barely apparent. Mouthfeel is probably just a little thicker and slicker than it ought to be. Something about this beer keeps me from wanting to drink alot of it. It feels a tad heavy I guess. It also reminds me exactly of a beer I homebrewed once which was kinda freakin me out. What can I say? This is a good beer with no real issues, but I guess I prefer Negra.

Sam Adams Boston Lager...
A- Pours a nice light amber color with a tight foamy head that falls to a lacing that sticks to the glass with retention.
S- Smell is of mild malts and husky grains with a touch of hops.
T-M- Carmel malts and light hop bite are the first taste. Second is a touch of fresh carbonated sweet alcohol sugar feel. All and all a good lager with a favor of a no frells flavor. Light bodied with nothing to set itself apart from others.
D- Drinks good but could use some alcohol content to add to the color.

A beer that is considered great by many people..but i am not one of those people. Samuel Adams produces a lager that is way over hopped for that style of beer. Additionally it doesnt seem like they are even using the correct type of hops because it is far too bitter for a lager. This beer looks good but is far from it. Sam Adams claims that it is i craft brewery but in actuality it is right up there with Budweiser and Coors.

This is good beer! I was expecting a notch above the typical swill but was surprised with the complexity, smoothness, and just the general amount of enjoyment I got out of the brew. The color in the glass was a little more orange-toned than I was expecting and the hops were pretty well balanced with the malts.
I drank this beer with some salty pasta and it was perfect. It cut the saltiness and seemed to enhance the flavor of the pasta. The aroma was lightly floral with a hint of maltiness, which also seemed to go well with the pasta. All in all, this is pretty good stuff and I really did enjoy it.

A stated goal in Biscayne National Park's new fishery management plan to eventually eliminate commercial fishing inside the park could spell trouble for the Florida Keys, says a local commercial fishing leader.
"If they succeed in stopping all the fishing up there, it's going to push all those commercial guys from Miami into the Upper Keys," said Florida Keys Commercial Fishermen's Association President Ernie Piton, a Key Largo fisherman.
"That would undermine the whole trap-reduction program that we were sold on and destroy an historic fishery up there," Piton said.
Biscayne National Park managers said the final environmental impact statement for the fishery management plan covering the 270-square-mile park north of Key Largo "aims to improve fishery resource conditions, increase abundance and size of fish commonly targeted by anglers, and provide better fishing experiences for future generations."
No new regulations have been put forth but future Biscayne rules will be guided by the new fishery plan combined with the park's updated general management plan, park fisheries biologist Vanessa McDonough said Friday.
"We'll be working with the state [Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission] to determine exactly what regulatory changes are needed," McDonough said. "Biscayne is a bit more complicated because of the way the park was created, with state and federal lands involved."
Proposals in the preferred-alternative plan could end diving for lobster during mini-season in late July in Biscayne waters (lobster diving would be allowed during regular season), increase the legal size of some fish species, create a no-trawl area, and limit spearfishing to free-diving while using pole spears or slings.
U.S. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Miami) said the park needs to maintain use by South Florida residents.
"There is certainly a balance that needs to be made between protecting our ecosystem and using it," she said in a prepared statement. "Sadly this plan does not seem to lay out a reasonable compromise that meets that goal."
The fishery plan does not mention a proposed "special recreation zone," a suggested area where the number of boaters could be limited. However, a no-take area eventually could be included in the general management plan, which is still under development.
The National Parks Conservation Association endorsed the fishery plan but said a marine reserve is necessary to "to fully protect all of the spectacular underwater resources that Biscayne National Park has to offer."
The fishery plan does propose to halt the issuing of any new commercial-fishing permits in Biscayne park, and make existing permits non-transferable so commercial fishing can be phased out.
"The marine recreation industry is of high commercial importance to the local economy," says the plan. "In the case of fishing, the primary economic attribute is 'fishing,' not fish."
It later says, "The falling number of licensed vessels operating within [Miami-Dade County], and the limited and partially seasonal employment levels, [make] the commercial fishing industry within the Biscayne Bay area ... of relatively limited regional economic importance."

The Daily Scope
Today you feel motivated to work on some aspect of yourself that you know needs to change, whether it's getting better organized or shedding those extra pounds. But remember, it's easy to talk about self-improvement; it's another thing to put in the work that true change requires. You're going to have to walk the walk.
Someone close to you needs a favor today, and your caring heart yearns to help. But if this involves money, think long and hard about it. Give only what you feel comfortable with. Helping a friend is a wonderful thing to do, but don't sacrifice your own sense of well-being in the process.
You'd like to take your relationship to the next level, but does he? Before you push for greater intimacy, be certain that things aren't moving too fast. Check in with your partner, keep the lines of communication open, and consider his feelings. This will keep the two of you growing closer at a pace that feels right for you both.
Today you're optimistic about your new health goals and are excited at the prospect of self-improvement. But be realistic: Ask yourself if you are willing to make the necessary sacrifices right now. You want to be as clear as possible about what you're getting yourself into. There's no point in setting impossible goals.
Leo, you love the spotlight, and you don't mind at all when it shines on you alone. But today you need to share the glory. Let a coworker or family member take some of the credit, too. This will make you look good as well, but most important, it will show friends and loved ones that you honor your relationships.
Achieving success in the workplace is a great thing, and lately you've been feeling unstoppable. But with all of the energy that you've been investing in your job, today it's important to check in with yourself. Look inward and ask whether your ambition has taken an emotional and physical toll. A clear mind is a focused mind.
Today you walk a fine line between idealizing the world and acknowledging the way things really are. This mood may prompt some very grand, philosophical talk from you, but someone close to you might rather just gossip and chitchat. Try to find the happy medium between silly and grandiose.
Someone tells you about their problems today, and you're just raring to put your powerful Scorpio insight to good use. But take caution before you immediately launch into problem-solving mode. It may not be quite the right time to step in. Be kind and supportive, but don't try and fix someone else's issues.
Your feelings about a romantic relationship are clear: You're interested but you also want to take it slow. Have you made this clear? Your significant other may be ready to take a bigger step than you. If you clearly express your needs, everything will work out fine.
Today you feel torn between everyday demands and the desire to retreat into a more spiritual state of mind. Do the latter, Capricorn, and see what happens. Venturing into the unknown takes great courage and perseverance; it's possible to do so while still taking care of daily responsibilities. You are blessed with both abilities.
Aquarius, you have so much room in your heart that sometimes you prioritize friendships the way other people prioritize a romantic relationship. Today a friend comes to you in a fragile state and needs all the love you can give. Don't try to give advice; just listen. What your friend needs more than anything is to be heard.
Your focus is on your career today, Pisces, and you have some pretty big dreams for the future. Anything is within your reach; just be careful not to put too much focus on immediate gains. What seems like a big win now may just be a stepping stone to something even more rewarding. Likewise, what might look like a loss is simply a bump in the road to greatness.

Ludlow always has great stuff to choose from. They do not carry anything that would not please your average craft drinker. The owner, Mike, is a very friendly guy and is always happy to help. I was in today to see if the had Hopslam (thankfully they did), and I noticed they still had Speedway stout. It's not a big store, but prices are not high (the hopslam was $18 for 6, compared to $18 for six at a much larger store in Kentucky). The only drawback, realistically is that it is such a small store that they can't have a lot of beer, especially since their main thing is wine. But they still have great stuff and I love that it's a 2 minute walk from my place.

Figured I'd write a review since major changes have happened very recently. To start (and less recent), Ludlow Wines moves down the street to a new location about four months ago. While the old place was fine, the new one is roomier with a classier appearance. It's quite nice inside. Thus, no complaints about the atmosphere.
The history of their selection is a strange one. When I first started going there about a year ago, it seemed like the entire inventory turned over every couple weeks. I'd guess that they had 75-100 different beers at a time. With new beers showing up frequently, so did I. I probably spent an average of $40-50 per week there (which was easy since it's on the walk home). When they first moved to the current location, the variety initially suffered a bit and I attributed that to them still sorting things out. However, since then, the selection had only kept dwindling to the point where the shelves were mostly bare and what was there included IPAs that had been there for months. The influx of new beers on a regular basis had pretty much stopped. My visits had a marked decrease in frequency. At my most recent trip, everything had changed. For the first time in months, the shelves were fully stocked with my new beers. In addition to new vintages, many older vintages had shown up. While this sounds great, the problem is that ALL of the prices had seemingly gone up overnight and gone up quite a bit. Some of the stuff that shocked me a bit was Founder's Breakfast Stout at $4.10/bottle, Dieu Du Ciel Rigor Mortis at $8.00, and Avery Brabant near $13 (I bought a bottle of this a week ago at another place for $8). Not everything is that obscenely overpriced, but instead of being $1 or less more per bottle than other places in Cincy, the small format bottles are probably $1 more than average and the large format $3-5. The vintage bottles are reasonably priced compared to the new vintage price (which is to say that the "cellaring cost" is reasonable), but the new vintage price is more than likely horrible. It seems like they have shifted to a less volume, higher margin strategy.

A: More catered to wine drinkers than beer drinkers. A little pretentious which has always made me want to get out of there fast.
S: It is what it is. The guy behind the counter isn't really interested in carrying on any sort of conversation with you. This really isn't a bad thing as it lets you look around without feeling overly pressured or harried. I feel like the service is more catered towards wine drinkers in particular, and if you are one, this guy is incredibly knowledgeable.
Se: Beer is a little lacking; however, there are some real gems there that I am never able to find elsewhere.
V: I would almost label it inexpensive because the beer and wine flights are an incredible deal. Overall, when I go in there I feel like I get what I pay for though.

I dropped into this place as an out of towner who received some fantastic service from the guy behind the counter. The selection was somewhat limited, but they had a single of KBS on the shelf for $5, which was ridiculous. I enjoyed this local style place and I think it is worth a stop. We often look for those gems that might have stuff more than a day after it comes out and this seems like the place. I would go here second after hitting up a huge place to get your staples. The selection here is smaller, but I would definitely stop to see what might be there and to have a nice chat with an enthusiastic staff.

I had previously walked past this wine store several times before I decided to go in and check it out. Earlier this week I walked past and their make-your-own six pack section is right in front of their window for passers by to see. I noticed they were offering some Sierra Nevada Porter and Stout, and I hadn't found either in a while. Its mostly the SN PA, Celebration, or Bigfoot in the local grocers or beverage marts.
So yesterday I had a spare twenty in my pocket, and I decided to make a six pack for myself. I had some spare time due to the girlfriend attending bible study later that evening. I decided to go to Ludlow Wines to make my six pack. I started browsing their selection, and to my chagrin I saw three single bottles of Founder's KBS for $5.25 each. The owner told me that it was the last of their single case they purchased. I had the widest grin on my face. In just a few minutes I knew that this was going to be my go-to local store in the city. The selection may be small here, but it represents at least one or two beers of the best brews you can find around.
Also, apparently the beer section is run by the Wife of the man behind the counter. He spoke of it while I was profusely thanking him out of excitement. For 2010 I was only able to secure two bottles of KBS for myself. Three bottles in 2011, especially on the 31st of March, instantly made this place "my little secret".
What a double edged sword... Now everyone on BA is going to have one more place to look for KBS next year, but I think this place deserves the business. Even if it means competition for me for the rare ones.

Ludlow wines definitely does a great job running their small store. Their target audience is general wine drinkers and less intense beer drinkers but they maintain a great selection. Lots of bigger beers and unique styles with a solid selection of more common beers. Mike is a very gracious and helpful guy. He has a great knowledge both of wine and beer. Their tasting are well put togther and have a great selection for them so i put them as a definite must hit for people shopping in the clifton area

A tiny little shop in the Gaslight District of Clifton, right of UC's campus. This place probably has more wine than beer but still not a bad stop. Not a huge selection but enough to get you by if you're just stopping in while in this part of town. The quality is pretty high but they're missing some of the more quality brews. The service is good, the owners are friendly and knowledgeable. Everything is pretty reasonably priced. This place is always worth checking out if you've just had dinner at Biagio's.

This is a small wine shop that has added a solid portfolio of craft beer to their offerings. The owners, a husband and wife are both very knowledgeable about craft beer and will talk to you all day if you have the time. There is a decent selection for mixing sixes, their real value is in their exceptional bomber inventory. While they won't have nearly the selection of other stores, they carry only the best of the breweries that they do carry.
A big bonus, is that on Saturday nights they do a $5 for 5 samples beer tasting. A great way to start a night out in a fun little store!

Located on Ludlow Avenue, almost directly across the street from Olives. Make no doubt about it, it's a wine store. But the owners are embracing and allocating floor space and time to beer. What they lack in quantity, they make up for in quality. Plenty of good beer to be had.
They host weekly beer tastings on Saturday evenings. The owners, a husband and wife are both super friendly and accommodating. Ready to answer whatever questions you may have.
Hopefully the beer selection continues to grow. This is a great stop while in the area.
Only problem, as is with all places along Ludlow is parking. It's well worth a visit.

I can't believe anyone went hiking in L.A. in that record-high temperature yesterday, but Oscar-nominated editor Sally Menke did. And sadly, she was later found dead in Griffith Park, where she had been walking with a friend and the friend's dog. The heat is obviously being said to be a possible factor, but her true cause of death is unknown.
She worked on many films in the '90s, including "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and Oliver Stone's "Heaven & Earth," and she also worked with Billy Bob Thornton on two of his directorial efforts, but Menke will always be remembered best for her collaboration with Quentin Tarantino. They teamed up on every film of his, from "Reservoir Dogs" to last year's "Inglourious Basterds," for which she earned her second Academy Award nomination. She talked about their relationship a bit in an interview for Editor's Guild magazine last year. A sample:
We muse over everything for a long time. Nothing is simply connected for the sake of connecting. That doesn't mean the film doesn't change, but he doesn't shoot by the hip. All directors embellish as they go along - a new idea because the actors are suddenly doing something. But Quentin really has a vision in his head, and it's such a small group of people that we're all able to really support his vision in one way or another. The key to good communication is to keep it intimate. It's wonderful to find people you can work with again and again. We're on the same page, and the control that comes from that makes for a very refined product. We're willing to explore new approaches to making a film.
In the terrific documentary "The Cutting Edge: The Magic of Movie Editing" (necessary viewing for all film and especially editing students), Tarantino admits he initially preferred a female editor because he believes they are more nurturing and less likely to try to "win their way." Both he and Menke appear a lot, separately, throughout the film (I love when QT talks about the "crazy Russians" "f*cking around"). But there is one great section cutting back and forth between them talking about the editing of the Vincent/Mia date in "Pulp Fiction," the film for which she got her first Oscar nod.
Watch this bit in a video clip (fast forward to the 6:00 mark) after the jump.
The filmmaker also pays Menke a nice little tribute in a "Death Proof"-related video (DVD extra?), which turns into a montage of outtakes featuring the film's cast saying hello to the editor. Apparently this was a common practice for Tarantino to have his actors give shout outs to the "lonely" Menke sitting in the editing suite back home. After the "Death Proof" video you can see the same sort of "Hi Sallys" outtake montage made from "Inglourious Basterds" snippets.
It's clear how much Tarantino appreciated her. The "hi"s come directly from the cast, but they're really all from his heart. Also, in the above video, when he claims that his films are partially co-written by Menke, that's as big an honor as I can imagine an editor can receive. It also reveals just how tragic her death is to his future as a filmmaker. His work will certainly not be the same.
Hello, Sally, and goodbye!

Thank you, Christopher, for your article, from which I learned more about Tarantino's "film-making".... and especially how so much of his success depended on Sally Menke's co-writing, her editing, and their close friendship.
I am so saddened at the news of Ms Menke's death... what a shock it must be to her family, friends, co-workers, the film industry and Tarantino fans.
You wrote a moving tribute to their relationship and I hope that Mr Tarantino gets a chance to read it. I'm sure he will miss her immensely... as will I and so many others.
The above you-tube video, that you included, of the "Inglourious Basterds" cast & the out-takes with them all saying "Hi Sally"... brought tears to my eyes.
As a # 1 Fan of Quentin Tarantino's, I watch several of his films over and over and over, enjoying them more each time I see them. I know Sally will definitely live on in my heart and my mind each time I watch, what I now consider, one of THEIR movies!
My prayers go out to Sally's family, friends, and fans. And... of course, to Quentin Tarantino.
Hi, Sally.
You will be so loved and missed forever, Sweetheart.
May You Rest in Peace.
Goodbye, Sally.

Now that is a great director-editor team. Up there with the Spielberg-Kahn, Scorsese-Schoonmaker, Leone-Baragli, and every other great director/editor collaborations.
I'm sad about her death, even as one of the things about QT's films that I'm excited about is what kind of cuts she will make. I agree that his films won't be the same ever again. At least they have six and 1/4 great films together (i put "kill bill" as one, not two films).

These are the things that I liked about City's game.
1. Javi Garcia wasn't in the starting lineup. I can't watch him without thinking bitterly about paying 15m for him (while getting rid of de Jong for 3.5m).
2. Gael Clichy was. He provided the spacing and pace that City have been missing along the left flank. Silva and Nasri playing wider helped as well, but Clichy looked really good, which bodes well for the team.
3. Nastasic looked very comfortable. He seems to not be stressing as much, and has been making good plays. Playing along side Kompany has helped accelerate his growth over the past few months. He looks like a Premier League caliber defender.
Things that weren't as great.
1. Joe Hart. I have defended him again and again this season, but he is in a poor run of form. The first two goals were difficult ones (although I think he would have stopped at least one of them had he been in good form).
The third one I find the most fault with. When the corner first came in, he got totally screened off, and was no where near where he should have been. He ended up on the ground along with Kompany and two Norwich defenders. Hart usually does a great job of getting on the inside of those collisions, and claiming the ball before it ends up in chaos.
2. Nasri. I've been trying hard not to think poorly of him, but he seemed to embody every "little man" syndrome in that square up. The tackle was brutal, and Bassong should have been sent off for it, but Nasri reacted very poorly, and it almost cost the team.
via u.goal.com
On the whole, the team looked good. A little shaky defensively, but a lot of that has to be attributed to going a man down so early. Our attacking play was brilliant though. Norwich has been a tough team to break down, but it happened so easily and so quickly. I feel like we haven't seen that level of attacking movement this whole season (the closest for me would be the 5-0 over Villa, but that score was helped by two dodgy penalties, and a Silva goal that was scuffled in).
I hope that it is a sign of finding our form, because it will be needed against Stoke tomorrow.

NEWS DAY | Big bike plans in St. Paul
St. Paul just released a big plan to increase St. Paul bikeways from 144 to 358 miles. That sounds great — but what kind of bikeways are we talking about?
Documents published January 21 five kinds of "bikeway facility type groups," including almost every road from busy Snelling Avenue to the paved, off-road path along River Road. If you use the streets in St. Paul at all, as a biker, walker or driver, the plans will affect you. One starting point in understanding the 45-page draft Saint Paul Bikeways Plan is the description of five types of lanes.
- Type 1: Shared Lane
- Type 2: Enhanced Shared Lane
- Type 3: Bicycle Boulevard
- Type 4: In‐Street Separated Lane
- Type 5: Off‐Street Path
What's a Type 1 Shared Lane? It sounds like just about anywhere short of a freeway:
"A shared lane is a roadway where bicycles are permitted that is not included in one of the other facility type groups. These corridors do not have any signage, striping, or pavement markings specific to the operation of a bicycle."
A Type 2 Enhanced Shared Lane has some kind of signs, from the bicycle painted on the pavement ("sharrows") to "Bike May Use Full Lane" signage — just about any sign recognizing the existence of bikes. Personally, I don't find that these make me feel much safer when I'm biking.
Type 3 Bicycle Boulevards have more emphasis on biking — maybe bumpouts or traffic circles or, again, sharrows.
Type 4 In-Street Separate Lanes are the ones that look to me like "real" bike lanes, described as "An in‐street separated lane [designating] a portion of a roadway for exclusive use by bicyclists." Think Summit Avenue and much of Marshall Avenue now. These would also include buffered lanes and cycle tracks, a step up from anything I've seen in St. Paul.
Type 5 Off-Street Paths are the top-of-line paths, like the one on River Road, completely separated from automobile traffic, sometimes shared with pedestrians, and with a lower speed limit posted.
Besides the kinds of streets, the report looks at the kinds of bike riders (page 9 in the draft document):
- Group A ‐ Advanced Bicyclists – Advanced or experienced riders are generally using their bicycles as they would a motor vehicle. They are riding for convenience and speed and want direct access to destinations with a minimum of detour or delay.
- Group B ‐ Basic or less confident adult riders may also be using their bicycles for transportation purposes, e.g., to get to the store or to visit friends, but prefer to avoid roads with fast and busy motor vehicle traffic unless there is ample roadway width to allow easy overtaking by faster motor vehicles.
- Group C ‐ Children, riding on their own or with their parents, may not travel as fast as their adult counterparts but still require access to key destinations in their community, such as schools, convenience stores and recreational facilities.
The city's plan distinguishes between Major Bikeways that "carry the majority of longer‐distance bicycle trips and provide the primary connections to major attractions and trip generators," Minor Bikeways that "provide neighborhood level connectivity to the Major Bikeway," and access bikeways, which are basically all other streets.
Under the plan, "Major bikeways should be distributed throughout Saint Paul at approximately one‐mile spacing." The plan makes specific recommendations for completing the Grand Round, and for a downtown St. Paul loop.
Here's the summary (page 35 of the draft document):
Have a specific concern or want to know about specific plans for your neighborhood? There are four open houses in February:
Tuesday, Feb. 11, 2014, 6:00-8:00 PM

In a previous article, I set forth the basic rules and strategy behind Razzball – a fantasy baseball game where the aim is to compile the worst roster of MLB players. Here we will explore the game further by analyzing the results of our Razzball Player Rater.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Part 3 of How Valid is the ESPN Player Rater?
In two previous articles (part 1 and part 2), we've laid out alternative views for judging the most valuable player in 2007 5×5 MLB fantasy baseball (we say Peavy) and for pitchers – using and abusing the ESPN Player Rater in the process.Please, blog, may I have some more?
(Part 2 of How Valid Is the ESPN Player Rater?)
If you've ever seen the ESPN Player Rater (or, for that matter, other quantitative player rankings for fantasy baseball), you've likely asked yourself:
How could there be so many starting pitchers at the top?Please, blog, may I have some more?
Anyone who played ESPN 2007 Fantasy Baseball last year probably had two lingering questions throughout the season:
1) Did the ESPN employees responsible for the database crash that screwed up the first two weeks' worth of 2007 stats befall a fate worse than Harold "Harass is one word?" Reynolds (rarely insightful on Baseball Tonight but he's like Peter F*in' Gammons compared to replacement ex-2B Eric Young)?Please, blog, may I have some more?

Registration open for January's Canadian Home Furnishings Market
November 9, 2012-- Furniture Today,
TORONTO — Registration for the 2013 edition of the Canadian Home Furnishings Market, Canada's only national trade event for the furniture and home furnishings industries, is open via its website at www.tchfm.com.
The market will run Jan. 12-15 at the International Centre here. Owned and operated by the Quebec Furniture Manufacturers Assn., the event is expected to host some 300 manufacturers and distributors.
"The Real Deal, which is the theme we've embraced for TCHFM this year, reflects the market's reputation as the one and only place to discover the latest and very best in home furnishings up close," Jean-François Michaud, president and CEO of both the QFMA and TCHFM, said in a statement.
Information about hotel rates and reservations is also available on the website.
Now in its 13th year, the market's Quality Canadian Furniture Trends Display is taking a colorful new twist. Display designers Pierre d'Anjou and André Caron will bring the 2013 Pantone View Home + Interiors forecast to life by showcasing their interpretation of nine eye-catching color palettes while unveiling the latest in Canadian-made furniture.
For the second year, marketgoers also will find 12 pop-up vignettes designed by Janette Ewen in the halls of the International Centre. This time, her displays will pay tribute to some of Canada's most iconic neighborhoods including Vancouver's Gastown, Quebec's Old Montreal and Sherbrooke Street, Ontario's Muskoka, Nova Scotia's Laurencetown and Peggy's Cove, Ottawa's ByWard Market, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Banff, Victoria, Calgary and The Junction, Toronto.
"Canada has so much unique style. It really changes from city to city," said Ewen. "We really wanted to illustrate the variety of difference influences that make up Canadian style."
Each pop-up display also will integrate a trend for 2013. One style that stands out is a return to glamorous opulence, reflected in the use of gold, metallic and brass accents. At the other end of the spectrum is a pared-down rustic modern look that relies on pieces with an artisan feel.
"The furniture should always be the main focus, but props such as fashion and lifestyle elements truly bring a display to life and capture the imagination of the onlooker," Ewen said. "You want to create a sense of intimacy, a sense that you've just walked into a stylish person's home in that particular neighborhood and they have literally just walked off the set."
This year's educational conference, Future Color Trends: Fantasies and Realities with Leatrice Eiseman, will help attending retailers create new environments in their stores with a little color. It will take place at 10 a.m. Sunday, Jan. 13, in the Orion B room at the International Centre and admission is free for all TCHFM attendees.
Eiseman, internationally recognized for her work as the executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, has helped numerous companies choose colors for everything from product development and brand imaging to websites, point of purchase displays and interior or exterior designs - any application where color choice is critical to the success of a product or environment.

COLUMBIA, Mo. — Community food pantries run by students are on the increase at colleges across the nation, a sign of both the weak economy and a rise in student activism.
At the University of Missouri, students opened the Tiger Pantry near the campus in October. It has given free food to nearly 150 people and their families and an additional 100 people have expressed an interest. Food recipients include nearly three dozen graduate students and a similar number of university employees.

Welcome to PAR 2.0! Come inside and explore what we've changed, and let us explain why
My name is Ben Kuchera, and I've been thinking about the way we do things at the Penny Arcade Report for awhile now. You might have heard me grumbling about this or that on Twitter or in comments, and we've had long internal discussions about the future of the site. The amazing design team at Penny Arcade took a bunch of our feedback, including the great comments left by you during our last survey, and came up with this new design.
I'd like to welcome you to PAR 2.0.
What's changed
The number one complaint was the color palette. Too many people said it was hard on their eyes, and since we tend to write longer content and ask you to stick around and really dig in, that was a problem. So now it's black text on a white background, and I think that's a significant improvement.
Images have been enlarged, so you can really see what you're getting with our custom artwork and screenshots. There are more stories on the page, and more places to find them. There is less text explaining what each story is, because if we can't get your attention with an image and a headline then we messed up. The new PAR is easier to browse, easier to read, and there is way more of our content on display. You don't have to click to a new page to read more than six stories, you can now simply scroll down through the past seven days of content.
There's also a new meta-tagging system in place so we can offer you stories we think you'll like based on the story you're reading. Or you can take matters into your own hand simply click the "The Walking Dead" tag and be taken to a list of stories about The Walking Dead. Finding content you're interested in, or following a story, has never been easier. More importantly, we wanted to adjust the tone of the site and our mission statement. Leading with the idea that game journalism is broken now seems like a nasty, negative way to make a first impression. The mission today is much simpler: to present content we think is great, and keep you coming back because of our stories, in a wide variety of topics. The emphasis on long form, original reporting and analysis will remain, but we're going to enlarge the scope of what we offer and why.
There are always a few comments when we run a story about a TV show like King of the Nerds saying that this doesn't belong here, and some people are upset that we're deviating from the world of video games. The fact is that whenever a post about the latest episode was late, we'd hear about it. The comments were always great, and readers emailed asking what we thought about each installment. I think engaging with the wide world of popular culture is a good thing, and we're going to be doing much more of it.
If you read Penny Arcade, or the Penny Arcade Report, I bet you also watch Game of Thrones. It's very possible you're into comic books. I bet you're going to see Iron Man 3. You're likely interested in real people who make real weapons for movies and television. I bet you had opinions about the Veronica Mars Kickstarter, for good or ill. I think the Penny Arcade Report is a good place to talk about these things, and more.
The backbone of the site will remain video games, because that's the main passion that brings us all together, but I want to make the fact that we're going to be moving into other areas of pop culture and pursuits with a link to video games explicit. You might not love every story, but these things are a big part of my life, and I'm guessing many of them are a big part of yours. It's a waste not to share our enthusiasm with each other.
You'll also notice that from time to time we'll report on smaller pieces of news, as well as the long form, original content that brought you here. There have been many times I've had a leftover from an interview that didn't fit into another larger story, or had something to say about a topic that many were discussing but I couldn't stretch it into an 800-word story. The "News" topic will allow us to post shorter, topical posts about what's going on in the world of gaming in a timely manner. We're not going to abuse it. We're not going to get stupid or waste your time. But we're also not going to limit our coverage due to an arbitrary word count.
We've also updated one of the best parts of the site, but a section that I think was getting out of hand. This is how we're going to handle The Cut moving forward:
The Cut
The Cut's goal was to share great stories, writing, and information with you, but there were people who had some issues with how we did that, especially when it comes to the Twitter feed. Before, we were only offering a landing page with an image, a headline, and a link to the story. Now we're going to offer much more.
Each story in The Cut will get an image. We'll list the story's author and the outlet it came from. We want to reward good work, and drive traffic and exposure to the sites and people that do it. Now you'll get more information about where each story came from, and who wrote it.
This is the important part: The Cut will no longer be a link and run. We've often featured content in The Cut that we didn't agree with, or stories with great research but conclusions we thought were faulty. Sometimes it would be something we didn't like at all but thought it raised an interesting point and wanted to start the conversation. This was never clear, and there was no room for us to explain why a story was in The Cut. No more.
We don't just want you to read better content, we want to discuss it with you, and ideally aid in your understanding of what the story was saying, and link to our own coverage of these areas. We don't want to just point to the neat stuff, we want to sit down, pour a cup of coffee, and talk about it with you. The added context and discussion at the bottom of each Cut will allow that to happen.
With this added content and beefed up presentation, we've moved The Cut from the corner of the site with its rotating stories to the main feed. Each Cut will now be a persistent story, mixed in with our features, news articles, and reviews. Some people loved the scroll, others felt like they couldn't comfortably keep up with it, and at the end of the day we just hate hiding good content. Now it's much more visible, accessible, and there's more reason than ever to click on a Cut story.
The new categories
We've also re-organized the content into a set of new categories for easy browsing. You'll notice that big, beautiful hero slot on the top of the page: Those are the stories we think you absolutely need to read, the really good, in-depth stuff.
From there, content will be organized into "Features," which are the long form reporting that will make up the bulk of our content. Those are the stories that got us this far, and we're not going to mess with a good thing. "Reviews" will bring you to all the game reviews we run. Don't worry about scores, we're still not going to touch them. We think the best way to share what we think about a game is with words, and we're going to focus on those.
"News" will be the shorter, more timely stories. "Play" is where we keep some of the stuff that might used to seem off-topic. Movie reviews, toy reviews, thoughts on TV shows, comic book news, and board game content. It's going to be fun stuff that keeps with the tone of the site and the things we love. I've already explained "The Cut," and I'm very excited about the direction we're taking that.
Next is something brand new, and I think you're going to love it. It's called the Game Guide.
The Game Guide
We take the first two words in our name very seriously, and until now there's been no way to easily check to see what Gabe and Tycho thought about a game without going back through old news posts on the main Penny Arcade page. Now we're going to collect their thoughts in a straight thumbs up or thumbs down format, and share them with you in the Game Guide.
You'll be able to see what Gabe, Tycho, and myself thought about each game, and then read stories about that game. If you're bored and looking for something to play, head in and click on "Only good games." You'll be able to see what games the three of us agreed are great, and then read reviews and stories about them.
Feeling pissy? Click on "Only bad games" and read up on games the three of us agree are utter shit. Either way, this is a wonderful place to see what Penny Arcade as a whole thinks about a variety of games. We'll be updating it frequently.
I've been talking for too long, go enjoy it!
It's been an unbelievable first year at the Penny Arcade Report, and I couldn't be happier with the amount of content we've been putting out and the growth of the site. Sophie Prell has been a wonderful addition, and I'm always amazed by the talent at passion of the Penny Arcade team. Working on this site is a dream come true, and I want to thank everyone here for helping to make it possible.
The good news is that there will be more content, and that content is going to be better. If you have any questions or concerns, I'll be in the comments, you can feel free to email me as well, [email protected], or contact me via twitter, @BenKuchera. I'd also like to thank Erika Sadsad, Levin Sadsad, and Kenneth Kuan for putting in the hard work to create this site, I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Kristin Lindsay also does an amazing job editing stories, and she never gets enough credit for her hard work. Dabe Alan is going to continue to provide his awesome custom images and art for the site.
Now it's time we all work together to fill it up with the best content in the business.
