Ashley Judd's MISSING First Season Promo Images and Preview Video
Stop me if you've heard this before: A former CIA badass must summon his old skills in order to save an endangered love one. Except this time the badass is a woman, and is being played by Ashley Judd. Despite that, yeah, it's kind of a pretty well tread premise, but hey, maybe it'll work? In any case, Judd returns to TV with the new action-drama MISSING, which has been shooting for a while, and even released some promo images and a trailer, but have been kind of missing since. Get it? Ahem.

GA Live touches down in the USA
First gig – legendary venue. The Fillimore, San Fran., where the Pistols played their last gig, the Doors, everyone. It's where Scorcese filmed The Last Waltz. The posters of previous gigs below are a fraction of what's hung on the walls.
The night before we'd arrived from the UK and went straight from the airport into a DJ set at a small party for our new label OM records. Afterwards, we made the mistake of staying out late enough so it's morning again in the UK and sleep is impossible.
This made the 5 hour soundcheck hard work, but we needed to get the track History into the set. It's winning the most votes on the download charts in the US at the moment.
The Filmore crowd did us proud. The response at the gig was electric. Saint Saviour blew people away as always. MC MAD raised the roof as always. They love live music here and the Black Light combo of rock n roll and electronics feels right.
We went out to a couple of places afterwards, but I called it a day when someone tried to pierce my ear with their earring.
San Fran sold out so fast that we had to add an extra show here. It's always nice when you do two nights and can stroll into work the second day with everything set up.
We then headed to a record store named, Amoeba for a quick interview. It's good to know there are still record shops. The store was up on Haight street. Beatnik captial and hippy hangout of the 60s. It's still got that feel, mixed with a lot of people a bit to old to be carrying skateboards. It turned out that a member of the Brian Jonestown Massacre worked in the shop. If you haven't seen the film Dig!, then watch it and all will become clear.
Back at the venue for soundcheck, an immaculately turned out californian woman arrived to make me some new in-ear monitors. This involves filling your ears with putty so they can get a model of the inside of your ear. But before they can do this, they need to clean your ears out. The Americans are never shy of throwing a chemical at a problem, and true to form she used Peroxide. Presumably I now have punky, blonde ear canals.
Gig 2 at the Filmore was sold out as well. The word seems to be spreading. The guys from our new label over here are san fran people so it felt like a family affair. Afterwards, we went back to a place we'd found the night before called the 3 Crowns. Greg Wilson was DJing. It's the only time I've heard 'Walk LIke An Eygptian" in a nightclub. At 1.58 a bouncer came and shined his torch on my drink until I finished it. It seems like they take the 2am licensing law quite seriously. But there were little speak easy places everywhere for the determined.

Entrepreneur magazine highlighted the pro bono work of the Law School's Brooklyn Legal Incubator and Policy (BLIP) Clinic, which "helps startups navigate legislative, regulatory and judicial obstacles."
Professor Jonathan Askin explained to Entrepreneur that lawyers and business owners can be intimidated by legal obstacles, however, BLIP exists to help them navigate such obstacles. "Too many lawyers stop wonderful ideas dead in their tracks because they're worried about dotting every i and crossing every t," he said. "If a law doesn't enable innovation, lawyers should work to reform the law."

Salem, N.H. — Emily A. (Latini) Antone, 82, of Salisbury, died peacefully Friday, January 25, 2013 at Salemhaven Nursing & Rehabilitation Center in Salem, N.H. Born on July 7, 1930, in Lawrence, she was the daughter of the late Vincenzo and Virginia (Cialone) Latini. Emily was educated in the Lawrence school system and graduated from Lawrence High School.
Emily played two roles in her life; the first was a loyal supporting role where she was the drive, the support, and tenacity behind building a successful career in management for her husband while making a home for her three children and supporting their every endeavor. At a time when most people are looking to retirement, she was put into a position to start all over again. She got a job and with her leadership skills was elected Union Steward of local 1505 of the IBEW. She was appointed by the Governors Council of Massachusetts a "Notary Public" and a "Justice of the Peace" which she used to solemnize many marriages for the public as well as friends and family. She was sworn in as a "Deputy Sheriff" of Essex County.
In her lead role she chose to focus on continuing to be an "All Pro" mother, and becoming an "MVP" grandmother to her "Pumpkins" Emily, Evan, Justin, Lyssa, Marc and Joel. It is said, one measure of a person's life is the hole they leave when they are gone. This one is big. We are grateful to her many friends and Salisbury Beach neighbors for watching over her. She was a bright, guiding light, and I see that twinkle in her "Pumpkins" that light will get brighter. The angels are eating well tonight.
Emily will be deeply missed by her sons, Thomas and Philip; and daughter, Virginia and their families; her niece, "Ginny"; nephews, Bobby, and Albert and their extended family; her friend and sister-in-law, Lorraine; and special niece, Ann Marie Martinese, who brought us back together.
ARRANGEMENTS: Family and friends will honor and celebrate Emily's life by gathering for a funeral service at the Kenneth H. Pollard Funeral Home, 233 Lawrence Street in Methuen on Saturday, February 2 at 11 a.m. Calling hours will take place on Saturday, from 9-11 a.m. at the funeral home. Inurnment will follow at the Immaculate Conception Cemetery in Lawrence.
For directions or to share a condolence with the Antone family, go to www.pollardfuneralhome.com or visit Kenneth H. Pollard Funeral Home on Facebook. The Kenneth H. Pollard Funeral Home is honored to serve the Antone family.

James Harden saw his NBA career uprooted with an out-of-nowhere trade from the Oklahoma City Thunder to the Houston Rockets, and while he's mostly moved on, he still is a little upset with how things went down. Harden told Yahoo! Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski that he's upset that Thunder general manager Sam Presti gave him only an hour to accept a four-year, $54 million contract extension before dealing him to the Rockets.
"After everything we established - everything we had done - you give me an hour?" Harden told Yahoo! Sports on Monday afternoon. "This was one of the biggest decisions of my life. I wanted to go home and pray about it. It hurt me. It hurt."
Harden only got an hour because the Rockets insisted that the deal be done before Saturday so that they could have enough time to present Harden with a max contract offer, according to Wojnarowski. They actually wanted the Thunder to move on Friday, but Presti waited until Saturday to pull the trigger. That's when Harden heard about the last-ditch contract, and an hour later, that's when he was traded.
What was Presti doing between Friday and Saturday? While it may seem odd that he wasn't in touch with Harden, there are any number of things that he could have been doing. Perhaps he was meeting with owner Clay Bennett to decide whether to even offer Harden that last-ditch contract. Perhaps he was negotiating another first-round pick from Rockets GM Daryl Morey in a trade package. Perhaps he was communicating with Harden's agent rather than Harden directly. Point is, to assume Presti wasn't fully engaged in the process is being unfair to Presti.
Of course, Harden's gripe is certainly understandable too. To be put in that kind of position with that little time to make up your mind is hard for anyone. He has reason to be upset about how things went down even though he's now moved on to Houston. I would never begrudge an athlete for being honest about his emotions when we're talking about several million dollars on the line.
But I think we can chalk this up to unfortunate circumstances rather than any sort of incompetence on anyone's part. Save for not agreeing to the trade, it's hard to see how the Thunder could have handled the situation differently.

IBS defends NIV gender revision; Dobson, others urge halt to TNIV

What is the first book in the Bible?
* = Required Fields
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (BP)--A statement issued by the International Bible Society declares, "There is an academic, linguistic rationale for the translation of every passage" in its new gender-neutral "Today's New International Version" -- "and political correctness is most certainly not one of them."
Meanwhile, eight of 12 evangelical leaders who signed 1997 Bible translation guidelines relating to gender have issued a statement urging a halt in publication of the TNIV, a gender-neutral revision of the widely used 1984 New International Version for which the International Bible Society is the copyright holder and Zondervan is the U.S. publisher.
The IBS, in issuing the TNIV, noted that it "consulted with numerous conservative, evangelical scholars prior to the release of the text. These scholars have unequivocally confirmed the accuracy and integrity of the TNIV."
The IBS statement, dated Feb. 7, did not specify the scholars involved in its consultations nor examples of the rationales for any of its renderings. Steve Johnson, IBS vice president for development and communication who circulated the statement, could not be reached Feb. 11 for additional information.
In announcing the TNIV Jan. 28, however, the IBS listed a number of endorsers on its www.tniv.info website, including author Philip Yancey; Craig Blomberg of Denver Seminary; Gilbert Bilezikian and Gary Burge of Wheaton College; Mark Strauss of Bethel Seminary San Diego; and John R. Kohlenberger III, editor of "The Exhaustive Concordance to the Greek New Testament."
The IBS assertion of "an academic, linguistic rationale for the translation of every passage" is an apparent response to the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood, which has posted on its www.cbmw.org website a 12-point "Concise listing of TNIV inaccuracies" and a longer list of 100-plus challenges to TNIV renderings of various Bible passages.
The IBS statement noted, "There is room for differences of opinion on the translation complexities of Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic [the original languages of the Bible]. However, differences of opinion on linguistic issues should not be confused with feminist or social agenda. The [Committee on Bible Translation, a 15-scholar group responsible for the NIV text] has not mistranslated or diluted the Holy Scriptures and such allegations are ill-founded and have no basis in fact. Critics have sadly confused matters of accuracy in translation with dangerous social agendas. The two have no connection. Accusations that the godly members of the CBT have been influenced by feminism or political correctness are false, damaging and simply absurd.
"IBS is hopeful that allegations of social agenda could be replaced with reasoned dialogue on the matter of translation," the statement noted.
Meanwhile, eight of the 12 signatories of the 1997 "Colorado Springs Guidelines" urged in a Feb. 7 statement, "We call upon the International Bible Society and Zondervan Publishing House again to reverse their announced direction, thus keeping their word and God's." In 1997, they noted, the IBS and Zondervan announced they had "abandoned all plans for gender-related changes in future editions of the New International Version" after a storm of controversy with the evangelical community over a gender-neutral NIV revision planned for the U.S. market in 2001.
The 12 original signatories of the Colorado Springs Guidelines -- including four representatives of the IBS and Zondervan -- reached the accord in a daylong meeting in Colorado Springs convened by James Dobson, founder of the influential Focus on the Family ministry.
"God has entrusted the Church of Jesus Christ with the very words of Scripture, and all those who disseminate that Word, whether from pulpits or printing presses, hold a sacred trust," the eight leaders, including Dobson, said. "To change the text of God's Word so that masculinity intended by the authors of Scripture is muted, and thus risk indirectly obscuring both the archetypal fatherhood of God (as it is manifested in man's relations), and the true identity of Jesus Christ, is to violate the Word of God; to do so after promising not to do so violates one's own word."
Thus, the eight leaders said, "We call upon the International Bible Society and Zondervan Publishing House again to reverse their announced direction, thus keeping their word and God's."
Other signers of the Feb. 7 plea included Wayne Grudem, research professor of Bible and theology at Phoenix Seminary and a former president of the Evangelical Theological Society; John Piper, senior pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis; and R.C. Sproul, president of Ligonier Ministries in Orlando, Fla., and professor of systematic theology at Knox Theological Seminary in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
The eight leaders also stated, "Evangelical Christians confess the plenary, verbal inspiration of Scripture. Plenary means 'every,' verbal means 'word.' Thus God inspired each of the words of the original text of the Bible, not simply the concepts behind those words."
The IBS, in announcing the TNIV Jan. 28, said it was "withdrawing its endorsement" of the guidelines.
In its Feb. 7 statement, the IBS noted, "With regard to the Colorado Springs Guidelines (CSG), IBS withdrew its endorsement after much prayer and consultation with evangelical scholars. Upon further review, the CSG were not consistent with the guidelines produced by the International Forum of Bible Agencies, or the guidelines of the Committee on Bible Translation (CBT). The CSG did not allow for a translation that would maximize accuracy and clarity in current English idiom. As a result, IBS withdrew its endorsement from the CSG."
Although Dobson has joined critics of the TNIV, the IBS voiced appreciation for "ongoing meetings (1999-2002) with Dr. Dobson and his executive team. These meetings were intended to bring greater clarity and understanding to the issue, as well as involve the 'opposing position' a chance to represent their concerns to the CBT."
Grudem, in a
Feb. 6 Baptist Press story
, challenged the International Bible Society over its statement that the TNIV was developed in accordance with guidelines of the International Forum of Bible Agencies (IBFA), which encompasses such ministries as Wycliffe Bible Translators and New Tribes Mission.
"I personally feel misled," Grudem wrote in an e-mail to various individuals. In checking the IBFA guidelines, Grudem noted, "I found that they say nothing about the controversial areas of translating gender language!"
Grudem also wrote that the IBS, in stating that it was withdrawing its support from the 1997 accord known as the Colorado Springs Guidelines in order to follow those of the IBFA and IBS' own guidelines "gives an impression of 'academic cover' under which they did their work. But the guidelines did no such thing."
In an interview with Baptist Press, Grudem cited three of the seven guidelines of the International Forum of Bible Agencies that he said IBS has violated in its TNIV revision of the NIV:
-- Guideline 1: "To translate the Scriptures accurately, without loss, change, distortion or embellishment of the meaning of the original text. Accuracy in Bible translation is the faithful communication, as exactly as possible, of that meaning, determine according to sound principles of exegesis."
-- Guideline 4: "To represent faithfully the original historical and cultural context. Historical facts and events should be expressed without distortion. At the same time the translation should be done in such a way that the receptor audience, despite differences of situation and culture, may understand the message that the original author was seeking to communicate to the original audience."
-- Guideline 5: "To make every effort to ensure that no contemporary political, ideological, social, cultural, or theological agenda is allowed to distort the translation."
Grudem reiterated a key contention of TNIV critics, that the TNIV fails to accurately translate masculine singular pronouns -- he, him, his -- which are used in a generic way in Scripture and in much of contemporary language.
A Bible scholar who spoke on condition of anonymity, meanwhile, commented to Baptist Press that the TNIV and proponents of politically correct speech at least share in common an agenda against masculine terminology. The use of he, him, his and "man" are "the kind of language that has been called 'sexist' by proponents of politically correct speech for years," the scholar said. "The bias against masculine nuances and meaning are characteristic of the pressures for politically correct speech on university campuses for decades."
In earlier developments following the Jan. 28 announcement of the TNIV:
-- Dobson announced Feb. 5 he will not support the TNIV, stating: "... I have now received sufficient feedback from a large number of evangelical scholars to convince me that this new work is a step backward in the field of biblical translation. Accordingly, I am now adding my name to the list of those who disagree with the liberties [the International Bible Society] has taken with God's Word in the new translation." Dobson said he will "continue to speak out against any effort that alters God's Word or toys with translation methodology for the sake of 'political correctness.'" The IBS, he said, "risks dividing the Christian community again, as well as damaging its own reputation and undermining the wonderful work in which it has been engaged for more than 150 years."
-- A one-paragraph statement lamenting the TNIV has now been signed by 35 scholars. The statement notes: "In light of troubling translation inaccuracies -- primarily (but not exclusively) in relation to gender language -- that introduce distortions of the meanings that were conveyed better by the original NIV, we cannot endorse the TNIV translation as sufficiently accurate to commend to the church." Signatories include two Southern Baptist Convention seminary presidents, R. Albert Mohler Jr. of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and Paige Patterson of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary; Grudem; Harold O.J. Brown of Reformed Theological Seminary; Sproul; Piper; and Raymond C. Ortlund Jr. of First Presbyterian Church, Augusta, Ga. Another leading theologian, J.I. Packer, did not add his name to the signatories, but told Baptist Press the TNIV is "a retrograde move ... . The masculine pronoun belongs in almost every language of the world. The gains that this translation seeks to achieve are far outweighed by the loss."
The TNIV's New Testament will be published this spring, according to an IBS/Zondervan news release, and the complete Bible is "expected in 2005." They said the NIV also will continue to be published.

Local Duck Hunting - at 1am
Original post made by Hmmm on Nov 2, 2012
Maybe the shots came from the east side, but in the creek and traveled up the creek in such a way as to sound very close by? Did anyone else hear these shots? Does the police dept's explanation sound like it's only a partial explanation?
on Nov 2, 2012 at 5:13 pm
Don Edwards SF Bay National Wildlife Refuge is open for waterfowl hunting from October to January. It's part of the core mission of National Wildlife Refuges.
Web Link
"The Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge contains 10,285 acres of tidal areas and salt ponds that are open to waterfowl hunting every October - January. Waterfowl hunting season opening and closing dates are determined by the State of California. Check the California Waterfowl Regulations each season for these dates. See our hunt webpage for specific information on permits, locations, access, and hunting days on the refuge."

Years ago I boarded horses in a pasture on the eastern edge of the Don Edwards Refuge. Some other boarders used to brag that at Thanksgiving, they would walk up to the migratory geese and wring their necks...and have goose for Turkey Day!! EWWWWW!!!
Indeed, what kind of people do things like that? The same people who shoot ducks at 1:00 am.

The hunters actions were apparently legal
-good for them and we hope they have a good feast

An East Texas museum is coming alive with the spirit of Christmas. The Gregg county historical museum is hosting their annual 'living history Christmas' event. It has become as much a Longview tradition as the Christmas parade, the living history Christmas draws children young and old.
"This is the day the museum becomes alive for Christmas. People who grew up doing this are now bringing their children back, or their grandchildren," says museum executive director Raina Howerton.
The miniature city, the lights, the trains, all throwback to a simpler time.
"Its not just the kids, its the adults too. I had Lionel trains when I was growing up so I always enjoy looking at these old trains," says visitor Ken Durham.
Its a production that workers take special pride in making authentic for the public, dressing in period costumes. But in the eyes of kids, its real magic.
"I just like that they all looked realistic and had some many decorations on it," says 9 year old Tucker Gary.
"The holiday festivity attitude and enjoy seeing children gleam when they're here. They just absolutely gleam," Durham says.
"If you are not in the Christmas spirit, when you leave here you will be," Howerton says.
The living history Christmas display is open to the public every day at the Gregg county historical museum through December 21st.

A suburban Chicago man has been sentenced to two years in prison for stockpiling machine guns without a Firearm Owner's Identification card.
DuPage County authorities say 45-year-old Tony Johnson of Bartlett was arrested in May after police found the guns and containers of bomb-making chemicals in a building in Roselle.
The Daily Herald in Arlington Heights reports Johnson pleaded guilty Wednesday to felony firearm possession without an identification card. He was sentenced by DuPage County Judge George Bakalis.
Although Johnson must serve at least a year of his sentence before he becomes eligible for parole, he could be released in four months when credited with time served in the DuPage County Jail.
Police are investigating the murder of a homeless man who was beaten to death in an alley in Logan Square.

Archived:Using Java ME Location API with Google Static Maps
Archived: This article is archived because it is not considered relevant for third-party developers creating commercial solutions today. If you think this article is still relevant, let us know by adding the template {{ReviewForRemovalFromArchive|user=~~~~|write your reason here}}.
Since this article was written, alternative Map Tile caching solutions for Java ME have become available. Map Tile caching solutions such as the Nokia Maps API for Java ME have several advantages over static mapping solutions such as the static Google Maps API including:
- Static mapping services such as the Google Static Maps API or Nokia's RESTful Map API do not cache or tile the images when requested, therefore each request involves a round trip to the server. If the map on a mobile application needs to be refreshed at any time, using a caching library will result in a reduction in network traffic after around three maps have been displayed. An explanation of this can be found here
- As the name implies, Google's Static Maps API can only retrieve over http static images for a requested coordinate point, image size, image type and zoom level. Newer libraries offer additional functionality out of the box offering dynamic Map content and touch support, where the user can move around his/her current position, zoom in, zoom out, modify the view mode to satellite or translate an address to a coordinate point and show that on the map, among others. This abstraction of the underlying functionality is hidden from the developer,os much less coding is needed in order to achieve the same result .
Additionally the following points apply in favour of Nokia Maps when comparing to Google Maps:
- No legal restrictions of using the API outside a web browser application or need to provide a link to the native Google Maps App (if there is one), or to Google Maps (if there isn't one). See Terms of Service below.
- Higher free daily request limits. Nokia Maps API for Java ME supports up to 50,000 render requests per day and per unique IP address (as of January 2012), for Nokia Developer registered users (free of charge) while the limit for Google's Static Maps API is currently 1000 unique (different) image requests per viewer per day.
The Location API (JSR 179)
The Location API (JSR 179 - an optional package) javax.microedition.location aims at helping the development of location-based applications and services for resource-limited devices, like mobile phones. The application must be set for CLDC 2.0 (CLDC 1.0) does not support floating-point number, which the API uses to represent coordinates and other measurements).
The Google Map API
NOTE: Usage of this code with the free Google Maps API Key breaks Google's Terms and Conditions (section 10.8). You should purchase an Enterprise License if you wish to use the Google Maps API as shown in this example.The Google Map API allows you embed Google Maps in your own web pages with JavaScript. Therefore, we will just use a web services REST to get the map image and plot in the device's screen. We just must send a request for
The simple ideia is: (1) get the GPS position and (2) pass the latitude and longitude coordinates to the Web Services REST (url) of the Google Maps, (3) get the server response image in byte array type. So, our first step is shown below: The algorithm below must be implemented in a different thread. Otherwise, user interface may be blocked until the response comes back.
Criteria cr = new Criteria();
LocationProvider provider = null;
Location location = null;
try {
provider = LocationProvider.getInstance(cr);
location = provider.getLocation(120);
provider.setLocationListener(this, -1, 0, 0);
} catch (LocationException e) {
alert = new Alert("Error", "Location API Error", null, AlertType.ERROR);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
alert = new Alert("Error", "Thread Error", null, AlertType.ERROR);
Coordinates c = location.getQualifiedCoordinates();
if(c != null) {
this.lat = c.getLatitude();
this.lon = c.getLongitude();
In the beginning of the sample code above, we first set some criteria. Criteria fields include: accuracy, response time, need for altitude, and speed. This is up to the application to set these values. These criteria fields will filter the LocationProvider that meets the given values. After obtained a LocationProvider object, the application can use this object to obtain the location, in either of two ways:
- Invoke a method synchronously to get a single location.
- Register a listener and get periodic updates at application-defined intervals.
The location results can be got with the Location class. An instance of this class can available some critical informations, such as: coordinates, speed and textual address (if available), and a time stamp that indicates when the location measurements were made.
Coordinates can be represented with two different classes:
- Coordinates:a point's latitude and longitude in degrees, and altitude in meters.
- QualifiedCoordinates:latitude, longitude, and altitude, and also an indication of their accuracy, represented as the radius of an area.
Finally, we have our main information: latitude (through c.getLatitude() method) and longitude (through c.getLongitude() method). All we have to do now is open a HTTP connection with the Google Maps server.
HttpConnection httpConnection = null;
InputStream inputStream = null;
byte[] buffer = null;
try {
httpConnection = (HttpConnection) Connector.open(url);
is = httpConnection.openInputStream();
int length = (int)httpConnection.getLength();
if(length > 0) {
buffer = new byte[length];
} else {
int c;
ByteArrayOutputStream byteArray = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
while ((c = inputStream.read()) != -1) {
buffer = byteArray.toByteArray();
} catch(Exception e) {
alert = new Alert("Error", "Connection Failed", null, AlertType.ERROR);
} finally {
try {
if(inputStream != null)
inputStream !=.close();
if(httpConnection != null)
catch(Exception e2) {
alert = new Alert("Error", "IO Failed!", null, AlertType.ERROR);
return buffer;
The above code opens a http connection with a given URL and gets the server's response. This URL is a Web Service REST available by Google Maps, and is as follows:
In this URL, we set some parameters for the static image: latitude and longitude, its zoom and its size (200x200), the map type (for mobile application) and a marker plotted based on lat and lon values. In our example, the application got (through GPS positioning) the Federal University of Campina Grande latitude and longitude values.
The image returned from the web services (byte[]) is used to print the map in the screen.
Form f = new Form("Map");
f.append(Image.createImage(buffer, 0, buffer.length))
The result is:

Appearance: Arrives with a murky honey color; very little head and just a smattering of lace
Smell: Bready malts dominate the aroma with just a little sensation of heat
Taste: Bready malts, up front, with some hop balance that arrives by mid-palate; the chipotle chile makes a very limited appearance after the swallow
Mouthfeel: Medium body with low to moderate carbonation
Drinkability: As a pale ale this is rather middle of the road, but the chipotle aspect was rather disappointing as it was not nearly pronounced enough

Thanks to Loki for picking and splitting
A - Poured a hazy mahogany with 2 fingers of cappucino colored head. Dissipated moderately slow and left nice lacing. Moderate carbonation present.
S - Notes of toffee and caramel with dark candi sugar and light alcohol.
T - Toffee and caramel flavors dominate along with dark candi sugars. Bittering hops have replaced the presence of light alcohol. Definitely tasting much better after it warms up.
M - Full-bodied, well-balanced, and malt dominated.
D - Great overall. Unsure if it is worth $8 for a single 12 oz bottle though.

I like the different boundaries that Dieu Du Ciel push,I wish I could get more of their wares.This poured into a small tulip glass a hazed russett color with some orange glow,a sticky one finger white head atop.A mix of dark fruit and phenolic spice in the nose,the alcohol creeps as it warms.Flavors are not overly complex but pack good flavor,dark fruit,and brown sugar flavors stand out most,again as it warms the alcohol really comes in.Its not overly complex but its pretty good,watch out the alcohol will hit ya.

look - the one pours an orange-tinted mahogany colour. Very opaque. Head is a bit of a disappointment - it rose slowly to only about an inch and a half and fell to a ring with a bit of film very quickly. this may have been because of the high ABV. Some nice visible carbonation.
smell - the nose is great! Full of rich and complex malts. There's a strong molasses-like dark richness to it, which is fill of fruit like stones, bit with a more sharp black currant or dried cherry note. A touch of earthiness. Very little spice and not hope. No burnt notes.
taste - very similar to the nose, it the fruity profile comes out a bit more over the malt. the prune-flavour of the melanoidin malt comes our stronger. There is a hint of pepper that lasts a while and plays well with the alcohol heat. The spice and heat play will with what would have otherwise been a much too sweet finish.
feel - body is very full with a syrupy feel that lasts, with some spice and heat from alcohol drying out the finish. Carbonation is minimal, giving a velvety feel that plays well with the flavour.
I'm still not totally sure about how a quad is all that different from a Belgian strong dark. But this was really tasty!

3.35/5 rDev -15.4%
Pours brown with crimson hints a little on the cloudy side with a full tan head. Aroma is sweet and malty with a definite alcoholic tinge and some background aromas of dark fruit. Taste is much like the aroma with a nice sweet malt base, but the alcohol is really dominant and of the hotter fusel variety often associated with a hot fermentation. Once past the alcohol you do get a little of the dark raisin and prune flavors in the finish. The mouthfeel is full and slightly syrupy, but not to the overpoweringly cloying extent. This is a nice beer that could be a great beer if the fusels could be backed off.

The label has a batch number of 1 0 punched out on the left for whatever year that means.
A medium copper colored ale with good clarity and a few floaters.
A vinous, dark fruit aroma with some moderately rich malt notes. There is a medium amount of caramel sweet aroma.
It tastes like it smells just with the addition of some Belgian yeast character of spice and fruit. The malt dominates back by some dark fruit but neither are to the extent of a Dark Strong. A wine like note again with a low hop bitterness and nothing for flavor hops. There is a moderate amount of crystal malt sweetness making for a balance that is moderately sweet. It has a medium finish and a quick pepper and raisin aftertaste.
A medium-light bodied beer with a medium strong level of carbonation.
Definitely worth picking up. It's a rich malty beer with a wine-like character along with some fruit and spice character.

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 11.2oz bottle into a tulip glass. Info on the label includes its abv (10.5%) and a nice description of the beer.
Appearance: This beer has a dark murky body with some lighter mahogany and reddish brown highlights. From the pour I got a thin creamy off head. The small head quickly fades to a light film covering with a ring of foam at the edge of the glass. Lacing is slick and slides right down the glass.
Smell: It has a big fruity/estery aroma with hints of dark dried fruits like raisins and plum or prune. There are also notes of yeast and sweet bready/toasty almost chocolaty malt and as it warms I get some cherry notes too, along with mellow hints of its big 10.5% abv.
Taste/Palate: It starts with its good sweet malty base and then adds fruity and yeast notes to the mix. Everything from the aroma is picked up here and slowly fades off the tongue with some mellow peppery/spicy hops and boozy alcohol. Its full bodied and finely carbonated, which I feel is perfect for the style.
Notes: I absolutely love this beer and this brewery! This along with Péché Mortel and Aphrodisiaque have been standouts within there styles and they are some of my favorite beers.

I know the bottle says to let this brew age for 6 months or more, but I can't. I just can't do it. Bottled August 2010 as part of the LCBO fall DDC release.
Poured into a duvel chalice. A chestnut brown, tan-russet when held to the light. Murky, with a dusting of sediment on the bottom of the glass. Thin ring of head, some lacing spots.
Nose is boozy and sweet, with notes of brandy, yeast, malt, caramel, spices and caramel.
The brew is a touch hot (my fault, I know...), but ten minutes after pouring and breathing-time, this brew really opens out. Generous spicy notes of cloves, cinnamon and mild pepper. Malty and yeasty, with notes of dark fruit and caramel. Packs a whollop - you can taste the high ABV near the finish, but still quite complex and enjoyable. All the flavors are bold and in your face, but tend to work well together.
Medium bodied, consistant but light carbonation. Long spicy finish, booze stings the tongue.
Not a bad quad, certainly tasty and fun to drink. Definitely will need cellaring for a while to even things out, because again, I found my bottle of Rigor Mortis to be quite hot. Almost too sweet, but the spiciness kept it relatively in check. Will be back for more for cellaring purposes!

Poured from a standard 12oz bottle into a 20oz Bass glass. Firm pour calls up a tiny off white head. Head exhibits nice staying power and an impressive lace for its size. Color is a dark cloudy murky brown.
Nose- Admittedly this was probably poured a little cold. Sour apples, caramel, bourbon, and spice. As it warms dark fruits become apparent, plum, date, and raisin.
Palate- Impressive. Overripe apples, dates, raisin, a hint of bitter coco. Big caramels, slightly sweet, some doughy-ness. Touch of rotting wood. Warming. Overripe apples stays with you. Definite Belgian yeast quality associated with bottle fermentation. A tad hot, but not what you would expect from a 10% quad.
Mouthfeel- Dry, very clean for a quad. Moderately fine carbonation
Drinkability- 10% is pretty big so more then one would be too many. Good Quad, if you can find it pick it up.

Rigor Mortis Abt smells rich and malty, much like a freshly-baked, moist loaf of banana bread. Dates and raisins pepper this bread, as well as hints of licorice and pumpkin. Brown sugars round out the edges.
On the tongue, the brew is immediately filling and almost overwhelming, thick caramelized brown sugars and toasted grains rushing to fill all the gaps, and a good combination of dark and light fruit esters get what's left. Hints of orange oil and dates abound, as well as anise and pepper. The brew is quite alcoholic (10.5% ABV), and this does unfortunately come through in the taste, giving Rigor Mortis a slight vodka/moonshine tang. Mouthfeel is medium-light, and carbonation is medium.
Overall, the flavors in this beer are excellent, and set at just about the maximum level possible. If it weren't for the alcohol taste, this would be an incredible beverage. Even with it, though, it still ranks high on my scale. Recommended.

The aroma on this one was somewhat mild, but it increased a bit once it warmed considerably. Ultimately I got a mild, but pleasant spiciness from the aroma with some possible hints of alcohol. The flavor was much fuller. There's some sweetness upfront, then the spiciness kicks in, and there's a long, drawn-out combination finish. I'm definitely getting some Aventinus-like flavors which (for me) is a good thing. The phenolics in this brew are kept on the light side, and the spiciness is allowed to shine. This brew is somewhat sweet, but certainly not cloying. There's a slight alcohol burn in the finish. It was most-drinkable when it approached room termperature. The bottle did say it was best to age this beer, but I couldn't wait. Six months or so might do this beer some good. Whatever the case, I really enjoyed this beer which just recently showed up in Orlando (Knightly Spirits). I love a good Abby-style brew, but more often than not, I'm disappointed with what I find. However, I was happily impressed with this one. Nice job Dieu Du Ciel!

Dirty raisin and brown colored beer with almost no head on it. Aroma was alcohol soaked raisins and figs. Just really boozy and for some reason bitter, although I guess its not that strange, I come across a lot of dark strong ales with the dark fruit thing with bitterness.
A mild amount of chocolate, but this beer is just like fermented pruno from underneath a jail bunk. Most of what I taste is just hot heat. Nothing easy drinking about it. There's a little bit of roasted malt mouthfeel to it, but again, everything is just overpowered by the alcohol heat. Carbonation is weak on this one, letting the heat just tear your mouth up like you're a girl down on her luck in Van Nuys who came across a couple guys in the biz and a camera crew. I can't tell if its the yeast flavor or the spicing, but it isn't complimentary either, but it is at least a break from the alcohol.
Paying $5 a bottle for this hurts. Wouldn't pay $5 for a 6 pack of it in the future.

This beer pours a murky brown color, with a thin tan head. the head lingers, leaving minimal lace.
This beer smells mostly of dark fruit. Figs, plumbs, and dates. It smells malty sweet, with a hint of caramel. The alcohol is well hidden in the aroma of this one.
This beer tastes mostly like it smells, with some dark fruit and caramel. The alcohol comes out a little in the flavor.
This beer is thick and full bodied. It is low in carbonation. It leaves a fig like aftertaste.
This beer wouldnt make a good session beer. It is high in alcohol, and the flavor is pretty aggressive.
Overall: This beer is pretty good. It is defiantely a sipper. I would drink it again.

A: Deep mohagony, opaque. One finger of light khaki head, decent retention, some lacing.
S: thick malts, maybe some rye? Definitely some spiciness going on. Fruity and yeasty. On the subtle side.
T/M: Rich malts, deep caramel and toffee. Heavily spicy and peppery, and still, maybe soem rye. Alcohol pops in now and adds some depth. Sweet fruity esters up front before the spice jumps in. Body is medium full with a creamy feel.

Poured from the 12oz. can into a Crow Peak "can" pint glass.
Pours a lovely, clear light copper with one finger of head that leaves some spotty lacing.
The aroma I get is mostly pine with some bread, grass and a little citrus underneath.
The taste is big, piney hops right up front with a little spiciness as well then a bit of juicy sweet followed by a lingering grassy bitterness that stays on the tongue.
The mouthfeel is thin to medium.
Overall, I think this is a very good IPA, especially if you lean to the pine, resinous flavors. Get it fresh and you've got a very good beer.

Thanks to a77cj7 for sending this beer my way. This is my first beer from the great state of South Dakota.
Listed at 6.5 percent ABV.
The beer pours a clear reddish-amber color with an off-white head. The aroma is a mix of citurs and pine with some bread mixed in.
The flavor is basic IPA, but it is not too strong. I get a lot of fruit - papaya, mango and orange citrus - along with some bread and toffee. The beer is pretty juicy tasting. That being said, it is a little restrained and could be more flavor-forward. Low bitterness.
Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

Small to medium off white head slowly settles above a clear bright copper golden colored beer.
Nice but light hops aroma of cut grass and even lighter mountain pine.
Nice hops bite to the taste with the pine coming more to the forefront and bringing some of the tall-grass aspects with it.
Dryish aftertaste with the hops bite sticking around with this medium bodied IPA.
Nice hops bite to this beer without trying to be west coast or old school, it finds a nice happy place somewhere in between and I like it.

Review from notes.
A: Pours a clear amber with a foamy, tan head, probably 1/2 finger in height. Moderate retention and nice lacing.
S: Light citrus with some orange and grapefruit, a little bit of grass, and some caramel malt.
T: Very similar to the aroma. Tasted quite fresh moderately hoppy, probably middle of the road bitterness with mostly citrus and a hint of pine and some grass. The hops dominate, but there is a slight bit of caramel near the end.
M: Slightly lighter than medium bodied with medium carbonation. Smooth and a little crisp.
O: A pretty good IPA, slightly better than middle of the road probably. Goes down easy, could drink a bunch of it if I had more.

Thanks to Chris for providing this can. Poured into bells tulip, burnt reddish orange rust in color tiny white head fades quickly with no lacing. Spicy hops in the nose with a hint of malt sweetness, the hops are definitley a bit underwhelming. Taste is very balanced malts to hop. Spicy hop flavor, bitter aftertaste, a bit of pale malt and a very distinct tap water flavor. Medium mouthfeel with a light carbonation, slightly syrupy. Pretty good drinkability despite the off flavors. Definitley not a go-to IPA though.

A: Clean toffee colored body and an active head
S: Indistinct pine, watery pineapple, light caramel and a sudsy character
T: Pine, unripe citrus, bready malt, and a meandering metallic taste. Slight alcoholic nip for this 6.5% beer.
M: Plenty of residual bitterness and the malt lends a solidifying character to the body. Appropriate carbonation.
D: This is obviously an IPA but the indistinct hop profile doesn't establish a strong character. I'd take this over BMC any day but would rather have a more harmonious balance.

A: A nice bronze/copper hue with a thin head that quickly fades to a slight film on top of the beer; lacing is okay
S: Fairly nice floral hop bouquet with citrus and pine elements--and maybe a touch medicinal; actually quite pleasant all on top of a toffee and caramel, slightly sweet malt backbone
T: Unfortunately the hop/malt balance doesn't come out in the taste; the hop bitterness up front is pleasant with floral, citrus, and pine qualities prevalent but then that fades to a rather unpleasant almost soap-like flavor--luckily most of that fades as you get to the slightly sweet caramel malt presence; but all in all it doesn't quite mesh
F: Medium body with the oily and sticky quality that you expect in an IPA, but something about the texture is almost soapy
O: This isn't a bad beer but it's just not quite balanced right and the sticky-soap-like residual left on the back of the tongue is a bit off-putting

Poured from a 12 oz. bottle into a tulip glass.
A - Pours a translucent copper w/ a slightly off white two finger head. Doesn't look to be overly carbonated.
S - Fruit, juicy hops along a bit of malt backbone. Seems to be fairly hop forward, but I'm going to let it warm a bit to issue a final verdict. A bit of pineiness.
T - Bitter hops up front - piney and a bit of resin in there. As it slides back, I get a touch of citrus, but the pine is what seems to dominate on the hop side of things. There is a nice malt profile - not overly sweet. More straight up bread than caramel or toffee like in some IPAs.
M - medium bodied, moderate carbonation.
O - Not too bad. A nicely balanced IPA offering from a brewery that I really have been starting to like. Plus one for cans.

Thanks to woodychandler for this beer. Poured from a 12 oz. can. Has a rich caramel color with a very small head. Smell is of hops, not much else. Taste is the same, hops are present, really no other flavors, no malt balance to speak of. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and has average drinkability. Overall a decent brew, but nothing special.

Just began distributing throughout North and South Dakota.
Opened it up and poured it into a pint glass. A light clear amber color with about a two finger head. The aroma is filled with im guessing citra hops? maybe not though. Taste is very hop forward finished off with a great malty backbone. Definately a good go to local IPA.
Great to see a descent brew come out of the dakotas!

12 oz can poured into a Sierra Nevada imperial pint. 6.5% ABV, 0 08 02 above the UPC.
Thanks to Beerwolf77 for knocking another state of my "to-tick" list!
A - Sexy deep amber bronze color with a great clarity but a lack of carbonation is noticeable on the crack of the can. Very low off-white head with no retention and almost no lace left over.
S - Spicy pine and resiny citrus hops hit up front but aren't really big. There is a beefy amber malt backing with notes of caramel in it too. Light hints of pineapple and grapefruit are enjoyable.
T - Harsh pine and bitter resin slap the tongue up front with a bite and a mild amber malt backbone seems absent, probably due to fact my taste buds are demolished. No real nice fruity flavors the aroma signaled. All the complexity is driven away...
M - ...by the harsh unbalanced bitterness. A little thin with a smooth, oily, low carbonation finish. Needs a lot more balance.
D - Fairly refreshing but harder to drink because of the harsh unbalanced bitter finish that grips the tongue so violently. I like the aroma but the flavor is such a departure from that.
