500ml bottle 5%abv
Appearance: Black in colour (dark red when backlight). It has a large, thick, brown head and leaves reasonable lace.
Smell: Very good aroma, dark chocolate, roasted malt, vanilla, blackberries and a hint of roasted coffee beans. Very very appetizing.
Taste: I was expecting a tad more flavour, but it is still very good. Roasted malt, high quality dark chocolate, vanilla and coffee and a slightly smokey finish.
Mouthfeel: Smooth carbonation, great feel, but too lighter body for the style.
Overall: Good Englsih porter, but not the best.

Good head, that kept throughout, Lacing also above average. Very dark pour.
Very malty,Roasted smell. Almost a smoked smell but not overly so. Smoked taste not present in the taste but roasted qualities are. Very nice and malty. Little hop but its English style so thats expected.
Heavy full bodied pour. Not something I would drink lots of due to how filling it is. Very nice aftertaste though that continues after drinking.
Depspite not being my favorite style this is an excellent beer and I would love to revisit.

Very dark oil-brown, reddish with maraschino highlights and a thin beige head. Lush, deep aroma led by s'mores, rounded out with coffee, cocoa, whiskey, molasses, and peanuts. Tangy and dry, like a cola without any sweetener spiked with espresso and chocolate syrup, finished with a hint of smoky malt. Almost like a Schwarzbier, with a quick, clean, seltzery finish, it's actually sort of refreshing even though the flavors are dark and rich. As porters go, I think this one is a textbook example - basic but very nice.

This is a colossal beer! It's nearly perfect. From the first pour into a pint glass with a perfect and rich head all the way to the end it ticks all the boxes for brewy goodness. Chocolate colour with swirls of tan and mighty treacle esters blasting off the top. Flavour is sublime. Rich chocolate, slight mocha, some caramel and toffee and all this without cloying. Perfectly balanced with the hops. I gave a taste to a girl who is inexperienced in beer and her only words were "holy shit, that's awesome". Yes it is, Amanda, yes it is.

Amazing. World class. and an Imperial pint on top of it. So far this may be my best beer experience in Europe, outside of Belgium
Roast chocolate dominates aroma. Tasting, the Goldings hops really come through the wall of roastness. Lightly carbonated, leaves lots of lace. Lingering slightly sour chocolate aftertaste.
Would love to have on cask.

The colour is pitch-black; the high cratered head is brown. Lots of lacing occurs.
The scent of coffee dominates the smell. Some sour-bitter hints, and a touch of dark chocolate. Luxurious!
The taste is fresh with some mild sweet notes. Lots of coffee, some lightly metallic bitter flavours, oatmeal porridge. The aftertaste is mellow and rounded with bitter notes, roasted malt, coffee and a light sourish hint.
The carbonation is medium strong, the small bubbles are soft. The liquid is very smooth.
An astonishing porter: Full-flavoured yet very drinkable. World class!

3.43/5 rDev -14.9%
Bottle lists the following ingredients: water; pale ale malt; chocolate malt; oats; sugar; hops; yeast.
The beer is a standard very dark brown peaty colour with a rather brown head which leaves a little lacing on my glass. It smells of roasted malt, but not really of coffee, more like ovaltine in fact! Chocolate is definitely apparent.
Tastes wood smoky and a little of cherry initially with two distinct flavours, coffee and cream, becoming apparent later. The coffee is not overpowering which is good for someone like me who has a rabid fear of coffee!
This is a pleasant porter, but certainly doesn't pack the sort of wallop that the name suggests!

3.4/5 rDev -15.6%
A - Dark as a coal pit with decent bubbly head.
S - Kind of weird I found it smokey and sweet. Pleasant though.
T - Malty, coffee taste with some fruitiness that I was struggling to identify. Possibly served too cold.
M - I found it very thin and watery, very surprising for a porter. Really expect something rich and thick. Are they trying for a lagery porter?
D - Not really hooked me with this one. Started strongly but faded.
Definitely not a classic porter though worth at least one visit. Almost seemed like a "lite" porter. The name suggests something rugged and strong. The drink itself is a little let down in body. Hmm.

3.38/5 rDev -16.1%
Dark brown 568ml (full English Pint) bottle. Best before 30th June 2008, drank a month earlier.
Poured into a Westmalle Chalice.
Jet black in colour, deep dark tan head, which sadly dispersed far to quickly for me.
Chocolate and liquorice aroma, both very strong.
The taste was also all about chocolate and liquorice.
Watery for such a dark beer, very little substance or body. It looks like a Porter/Stout but doesn't have the robustness to carry it off. The label claimed it was a Premium Bitter, it wasn't one of those either in my eyes.
An inbetween sort of beer, the brewer has produced an interesting product but failed to deliver something that really excited me.

BB 31/05/2008, served cool in a straight imperial pint glass.
A: nearly black in colour, coming with a huge grey-ish tan frothy head with rather good retention, on top of a moderate carbonation.
S: very rich & deep aroma consisting of black sugar, black dates, caramelised walnuts, soft smokiness as of sweet coffee and bitter chocolates - typical for a balanced English Porter, but a rather robust and full-bodied one, at least judging from the nose.
T: smokey and roasty upfront, backed by plentiful sour-sweet black fruits, mildly winey/fermented black dates; then taken over by a flow of delicious smoked-nut bitter-sweetness, slightly powdery chocolate-ness and Fuggle's earthy&herbal bitter edge, added with a rather refreshing, acidic kickback of stone fruits in the end.
M&D: the texture is pretty light, albeit slightly too fizzy for my palate; this med-bodied porter/stout is quite balanced, showing a good fruity backbone against the assertively malty facade, and it should make a very quaffable cask-conditioned ale if it were ever produced, IMO.

3.8/5 rDev -5.7%
Appearance: dark, dark brown; opaque; thick layer of tan spongey foam that slowly flattens to a thin cap; lacey
Aroma: molasses, dark chocolate, roast, hint of smoke
Flavor: nice balance between malt sweetness and roasty/chocolatey bitterness; mild herbally hop flavor; hints of smoky beef jerky and Billington's molasses sugar; finishes semisweet with a lingering aftertaste of cocoa and malt
Mouthfeel: medium body; soft, silky texture; gentle carbonation
Other comments: I didn't know anything about this beer and hadn't read the label, so when I poured it, I was surprised that it was so dark. Now, of course, I know it's a damn fine porter.

vacation rental description
Just added new hurricane shutters, new
carpet where not tile,
HDTV, renovated luxury heated pools, luxury lanai flooring, fresh
paint, a/c-humid. system. Call for sale of this unit.
Marco Island is as much or as little as you want. One could take
weeks visiting the beautiful and interesting sights near Marco. Or
one could enjoy weeks of quiet days and nights on the beach, perhaps
leisurely trips into town as we did for a quiet meal or just a
classic ice cream cone. We?ve got some favorite spot if you want
some suggestions. Your home for as long as you stay will be the
community of the ?South Seas Club of Marco Island?, a beautifully
landscaped and gardened private gated complex, kept in immaculate
condition. The nicest community we saw on Marco, which is why we
fell in love with it and bought this condo on our first trip ever to
the island.
You?ll be on the quiet side of the complex, and ?in season? won?t
have to wait 15 minutes for an elevator as we?re told happens on the
busier high rise west side. When you leave your top floor unit of
this atrium centered low rise building, you?ll be 300 steps to the
best stretch of Marco beach on the gulf [note that the picture of
beach is not our view but shows you what is 300 steps away, 30 steps
to the boat docks, 35 steps to the 10 tennis courts, and 70 steps to
the pool. Right on the complex you can enjoy a quiet spot on the
large beach during the day, the beach and sunsets at night, the
pools, the boat docks with a gulf outlet, or fishing. If tennis is
your thing, or if you want to learn, this is the place for you.
There?s a Pro shop/hut (see our linked pictures below). I met Carl
Turner, the tennis Director. He manages the 8 hard and 2 clay
and impressed me as a traditional tennis gentleman. Carl give
lessons. Let me know if you want details. The court fees are
reasonable. During some hours in summer months there is no fee.
You can walk down the beach to parasail, use jet ski?s or wave
runners. You can shell or just enjoy resort looking. You can stop
for a banana daiquiri at a beach side bar. There is boat rental
within blocks; just motor back and dock right outside your door.
the experienced boater, I think its into the blue waters of the gulf
of Mexico, and for the less experienced a scenic mapped route down
inner costal waters and a secluded island picnic.
Outside the gate, you may visit the friendly town of Marco Island
which became an official city in 1997. We liked the uniqueness of a
Gulf of Mexico crescent beach resort community adjacent to a cozy
and friendly full functioning town. Marco Island is 6 miles long
4 miles wide. You?ll never have to leave the island. But if you
want to, so much is near Marco to see. Marco is one of the ?Ten
Thousand Islands?. You can tour these islands by boat and enjoy
nature, see the Everglades, visit Naples, tour nature sanctuaries,
and it seems that everywhere you look there?s another golf course.
It goes on and on. See the additional pictures through the link
below and you?ll see why we fell in love with this condo, this
community, and Marco Island.
Please feel free to email us with questions. We?ll be happy to mail
you a beautiful 128 page brochure that the Chamber puts out on the
Island. If you don?t stay this time, please email your name and
we?ll keep you on a list for special rentals and information during
the year. Please email us to get the address of our private web
for more pictures.
We cater to our renters! We love the place, and we want you to love
it too. Please be aware that pets are not allowed, there is
absolutely no smoking allowed in the unit, and our accommodations
are suitable for adults only.

Welcome, ayat.
The first set of false teeth similar to those in use today was made in france in the 1780's.
Ex: Colourful personalities abound, and people still recall one old miner whose set of false teeth was made of precious opal. Source
Note, false teeth were; the set was.
When in doubt, shorten it. Like this:
The first set was made....
...today it was made in france in the 1780's

All the best.

This is a great beer bar that sits down some stairs in the old Fairhaven district. The place is kind of dark but cozy and English like in style. The beer menu is huge with tons of great hard to find beers at often good prices. I had a 2000 J.W Lees and a Skullsplitter while my dad had a pint of Snipes Mountain Barleywine. The taps are often rotated with some casks available. The service was laidback and very pleasant. The waiter evenm searched out a hard to find bottle of Carnegie Porter. The food is fairly good though not great. Come for the great beer selection and pleasant vibe.

Down the stairs of a brick walled building, patrons disappear form the (sometimes) busy streets of Fairhaven and enter what looks like to my untrained eye an old English pub. Frosted glass behind the bar and wooden surfaces are moderately lit. More modern, there sre 2 flat screen T.V.'s with sports on. Darts (real ones, not those plastic electronic ones)are on the other side of the seating area, which is relatively small.
8 standard taps and 5 rotating taps give a good selection of beers. A few english beers and some american craft beers are supplemented by Maudite and Chimay white. In addition to these, if you feel so inclined they have a wide selection of belgians in bottles to choose from.
Food is okay pub fare and the service I've had has always been lukewarm to almost rude although I did see more congieniality for some apparent regulars. At least you can get a huge basket of fries for about $5.
When it's quiet, you can't ask for a better environment for a first date or just relax with a beer and a board game. When it's busy, well.. good luck finding a spot or someone to pour you a beer.

The atmosphere is pretty nice, it's a little place and feels comfortable. One of the types of bars that has board games for people to play (so the TVs aren't the main attraction, which I like in a bar).
The beer selection is pretty good -- they have some pretty nice beers on tap, although they don't have a huge number of taps. They also have some good stuff in bottles, which helps.
Service was pretty good. We had to ask for stuff from time to time, but our server brought it out promptly and food arrived basically at the same time.
The food was kind of spotty -- we got two hamburgers that were mediocre at best, a pizza that was more bread than anything else (almost no sauce), fries that were excellent and shepherd's pie that was very savory. So, it seems to depend on what you order.

A comfortably quiet hideaway in the historic Fairhaven neighborhood of Bellingham. 12 taps, 5 of which are selections that are always on, the rest rotate. A very good bottle list with some wonderful vintage stuff. The staff is friendly and welcoming without being clingy or annoying. The menu is well done versions of pub fare, my favorite being the Toasted Ravioli, which I like to wash down with Chimay White. The food specials are generally very good and worth checking out. There are darts and board games, with a couple TVs with the sound off. If you're visiting my area this is a must stop.

Another good find via Beerfly. Definitely worth stopping by, especially after spending the day wandering around Fairhaven's many stores, and an excellent reprive from the madness of Black Friday. Inside is nothing notable, standard pub vibe. The food was what you'd expect from a bar. Had the pulled pork sandwich which was decent. Unobtusive but good service. Overall the number of beer was less then expected but some very solid choices ranging from bottles of HOTD Fred & Adam (reasonably priced @ $5/bottle) to some varied vintages of old ales and barleywines. Seems they have a standard tap selection that wasn't too inspiring. However they have 4-5 rotating releases which was great - had the Scuttlebutt 10 Below and the Widmer Snowplow. I'd say the focus definitely has a European slant, so if you're looking for a sizable PacNW selection you'll be disappointed. Best part of the menu for me was the write ups on the various styles they carried - nice touch.
Worth the visit, and I'd certainly return.

Atmosphere - Awesome. The Archer is located below street level. It is semi-deimly lit, comfortable, and clean. No smoking is allowed inside (thank goodness). It has an old-fashioned feel to it.
Quality - Good to great. All of the beers we ordered were in good condition.
Service - The serive was pretty good. The bartender was friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. We got our beers served in tulip glasses and goblets, which seemed appropriate for the beers we were having.
Selection - They have a knockout beer list, but it is "subject to availability." They did not have any cask ales when I visited. They did not have Dogfish Head 120 minute, but they did have World Wide Stout (2004), which was righteous.
Food - I did not try the food, but the menu looked great. The selection went beyond just the basics, but otherwise looked like standard pub fare.
Comments - We have nothing like this place in San Antonio, which is a damned, dirty, low-down, rotten, evil-son-of-a-bitch shame. I might move to Bellingham just so I can go to this place on a regular basis.

While I was in school, I'd come here to study, to relax, to get some food, or just to drink some good beer. Archer sits in the basement of an old stone and brick building in the Fairhaven district in Bellingham. Entering the basement is a perfect way to set the mood. The rest of the pub is very reminicent of a English pub, sans layers of dust & smoke. The details in the wood and decoration really make it a stellar place to visit.
The food was always good, but I loved the beer. There were always 12 beers on tap, 1 or 2 on cask, and a large number of bottles. I never found a reason to drink bottled beer there, but I quaffed my share of draught beer. The selection was a balanced between imported lagers and ales, and a selection of west coast craft brews. Beers are served in their approprate glassware. Wine is available, as is chocolate.
Most of the time I've spent there was served by the same 3 or 4 people. They were always kind, kept a tidy pub, were happy to offer tastes.
The food was always good, though sometimes it took a while to receive. Plenty of pint time before hand though. If you're ever in Bellingham and you want a nice atmosphere, want to play some darts, want to escape the college bar crowd, visit Archer.

I would have to say that this is by far my favorite pub/beer bar I have ever been to. I went to school in Bellingham and once I found this place I couldn't stop going. First of all the atmosphere is great. No smoking, real dart boards (not plastic) and an authentic european pub look. Second the beer (maybe that should have been first): they have ten taps in full rotation with two of those being hand drawn and a selection of bottled beer that could keep anyone happy for years. The beers there are primarily European with a lot of local or hard to find Micros. The food is also great! what more could you ask for good beer, food, and atmosphere.
Bottom line: If you are every in the Bellingham area take some time and head over to Archer's, you won't be disapointed.

DURANT, OK -- There was a large police presence at the Wal-Mart store here this evening, but there wasn't any emergency.
The 5th annual Shop With a Cop event was held by the Durant police reserves. A total of 43 kids got to shop for toys with a law enforcement officer, and the goal is to help kids who otherwise might not be able to enjoy getting gifts on Christmas. Organizers say this year 15 families participated.
"We actually had families write in to the police department. We have a committee that selects the families and this year if they were eligible we didn't turn any family away," says police reserves patrol officer Amber Thomas.
Thomas says Durant and Calera police, Bryan County deputies, and OHP troopers helped raise more than $8,000, and the Masonic Lodge held a raffle. Local businesses and volunteers also pitched in.

In a series of posts, we will dig into our archives at the Miller Center to examine the contributions of previous vice presidents and explore what they're doing now. Walter Mondale recently commented that the relationship between a president and vice president "carries a Shakespearean dependency element about it," and compared the partnership to "a four-year nondivorcable marriage," though "at least you get to live in different houses." In this post we highlight Mondale's contribution to the vice presidency and his accomplishments since. Our inaugural post in the series on J. Danforth Quayle is here.

In Nebraska, Romney won with 71 percent support. This vote was a beauty contest, as the state's delegates will be chosen at the state convention on July 14. In Oregon, Romney earned 73 percent. Romney's victories occured in the wake of an announcement on Monday that Ron Paul would cease campaigining and spending money in the states with remaining primaries, effectively ending his bid for the Republican nomination.

His mother, Dorothy Ayer Gardner, divorced his father—a wife-beating alcoholic—shortly after his birth, and remarried in 1916. Dorothy called her future-President son "Junie," which soon became "Jerry" out of affection for the boy's new father-figure, Gerald R.

Senator Lugar has been known for bipartisan problem solving, such as the successful Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction program. On Tuesday, Senator Richard Lugar, a six-term Senator from Indiana, lost the Republican primary to State Treasurer Richard Mourdock. Earlier this week, Chris Cilliza at The Fix, who will be speaking at a Miller Center forum on Friday, May 18, asserted that Senator Lugar could have taken steps to avert loss, but he was unable or unwilling to change his campaign tactics and rhetoric. Other analysts have also argued that Senator Lugar simply lost touch with his electoral base. Senator Lugar used his concession speech, which Ezra Klein at the Washington Post called "searing," to contribute to the discourse on partisan cleavages and what it means for governance. Many scholars have noted that partisan rancor is not just a current phenomenon… Read more → 2012 Election Tweet Posted May 9, 2012 By Carah Ong Where Are the VEEPs Now? J. Danforth Quayle President George H. W. Bush walks along the colonnade with Vice President Dan Quayle enroute to the Oval Office in 1992. Vice President Joe Biden, and his relationship with President Barack Obama, is attracting quite a bit of attention this week. In addition, we're witnessing a rather remarkably public and early campaign for the selection of the Republican vice presidential candidate this election. Michael Nelson recently wrote on Riding the Tiger that the vice presidency has been an office of real prominence and influence for well over a generation. At the same time, the vice president must also take care to stay within the bounds of the office and play second fiddle to the president and the broader goals of his administration. As Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said this week, "Being a vice president is kind of like being a first lady. You are there to support and serve the president. There is no job description." In a series of posts, we will dig into our archives at the Miller Center to explore the contributions of previous vice presidents and see what they're doing now.

Today's post on Obama and national security comes from Stephen Knott, Professor of National Security Affairs at the U.S. Naval War College, and author of Rush to Judgment: George W. Bush, the War on Terror, and His Critics. For the first time in decades the Democratic Party will nominate a presidential candidate whose reputation as a tough, formidable Commander-in-Chief seems secure. Throughout much of the Cold War, the Republican Party held an edge on the "toughness" issue, be it Goldwater vs. Johnson, or Nixon vs. McGovern, or Reagan vs. Carter and Mondale, or Bush vs. Dukakis. Not since 1960, when John F. Kennedy condemned the Eisenhower/Nixon administration for passively standing by while the Soviet Union surpassed the United States has the Democratic Party been so well positioned to outflank the GOP on an issue Republicans once owned.

Georgia Men's Club Lacrosse Team Changes Coaches After Successful Season

The Georgia men's club lacrosse team improved to 2-0 for the 2013 season on Sunday, when the Bulldogs defeated the Kennesaw State Owls in an MCLA game at Sprayberry High School in Marietta.
Lacrosse season is underway for the Georgia Bulldogs men's and women's club teams, which combined to go 3-0 on Saturday with a trio of convincing victories.
A potential move of Florida State to Division I could create a bit of a groundswell for southern lacrosse. Right now there's only two schools in the deep south that sponsor Division I men's lacrosse: Jacksonville and Mercer (and both were relatively recent additions to the level). The game is growing in that area of the country, and if Florida State drops the hammer and comes to play, will it push regional competitors to also make the move? (I see you, Georgia.)NCAA Division I lacrosse expansion talk isn't going anywhere. I'm just saying. Go 'Dawgs!

Calling to book an interview with Pacifica-raised Brian Allen regarding Kids Culinary Adventures (Where Math, Science, Reading and Art Mix with Kids!), meant having a listen to the really fun and informative instructions Allen was giving to the people on his side of the phone. Chef Brian — who along with Chef Danielle Nunes is one of the co-owners of Kids Culinary Adventures — was in the middle of teaching a class of 5-year-olds through 5th graders, how to make mini cheesecakes.
"We had 15 kids today and they did really well," the teacher said after class. These particular students were in the 6th week of an 11-week course taught at the Palo Alto Jewish Community Center. Their course work to date has also included — chicken Caesar spring rolls, sandwich sushi with vegetables, deviled eggs and homemade marinara.
"It's nice working with kids," Allen said. "When you are older, you forget that when you were a kid, you didn't have a filter. But I am still like that, a no-filter kind of person. I always laugh with them. They say such unbelievable, wonderful, funny things and they are a crackup. I love what I do!" Kids Culinary Adventures, KCA, was founded in 2002 by Gigi Gaggero, the former Dean of the Hospitality Management Program at the California Culinary Academy in San Francisco (Le Cordon Bleu). Chef Allen is one of Gaggero's former students. A professional chef, author and culinary educator, Gaggero founded KCA at the encouragement of her two daughters. Currently seated as "member at large" for KCA, Gaggero formed the professional cooking school for kids and teens to "provide a creative learning platform, where math, science, reading, and art mix with kids," and to "offer programs which encourage socialization, team building, and self- confidence, while providing a solid foundation of perfected culinary skills and nutritional awareness." Following Allen's 2001 graduation from the California Culinary Academy, he headed off into the business world, which included a stint at the Pacifica Tribune. He signed on with Kids Culinary Adventures in May of 2012. While KCA offers classes all over the Bay Area, a majority of their programs are done in Pacifica at the Pedro Point Creative, an event rental space on Danmann with a fully licensed commercial kitchen.
"We have contracts with different schools throughout the Bay Area and we do custom programs," Allen said. "We always have education themes tied into it. For instance, when we did the deviled eggs, we tied it into protein and then we went over the anatomy of an egg and talked about the membrane and the yolk. Every class we do has some sort of educational property." Allen and his co-workers are made up of Pacificans — either born and raised, and/or or current residents. (The San Mateo County based KCA recently expanded its market to include Pacifica.) All staffers who grew up in Pacifica, like Allen, are Terra Nova graduates. "We are in the process of hiring a Terra Nova student to work with us for an after school program." The chef said that like any cooking student, KCA students, who range in ages from 3 to 18, learn the science behind food, the different methods of cooking, and the importance of kitchen safety and sanitation.
"We teach the students how to be comfortable in the kitchen, safely in a sanitized way," Allen said. "We teach them stove safety and that a stove is not a toy. We show them how to carry a knife, how to hold it at their side when they are walking with it. And they know the drill of washing their hands!" The program also offers what they call the "teach back" method. "We have kids who have been in our classroom before, teach what they have learned," Allen said. "It works really well. Kids like learning from other kids." Along with classes, KCA does private in-home birthday parties throughout the Bay Area. "We do a lot of those on the weekends. We are Monday through Sunday, no rest for the weary!" Allen laughed.
What kind of a class does KCA offer a three-year-old?
"One of our preschool-based programs is called 'Eat Your Own Biosphere,'" Allen said. "We talk about an egg and then the kids crack the top off and color and decorate it. Inside of it they plant an herb, then take it home and plant it in the ground. We give them a pasta recipe to make with the herb they have grown. It's all about teaching them where their food comes from." For the younger kids, a course might include a story time with one of the Strawberry Shortcake children's books, followed by making a fruit parfait. Or, the kids might make little pizzas where they learn all about yeast by making their own dough. Some of the other classes for various ages include "Presidential Palate," where students make and sample some of the first family's favorite menu selections, "Cupcake Wars," kids make delicious, fantastic, crazy cupcakes as they work with a professional pastry chef, and "Hearts & Krafts in the Kitchen" which celebrates Valentine's Day with the creation of chocolate soufflés with crème Anglaise and fresh berries. Recently a group of kids, ages 6 through 12, took a three-hour course titled "Southern Kitchen Throw Down," all about contemporary and traditional Southern cooking.
KCA's biggest event is their summer camp. They offer two summer camps a day, Monday through Friday. Courses include "Tour de France" (French cooking), and "Cooking Around the World." "I think the biggest thing we do is teach kids to appreciate food and where it comes from," Allen said. "They learn the value of nutrition. What we really love is when a kid says, 'oh, I'm not going to eat that.' But when they make it, of course they want to eat it! We also partner kids up and they learn teamwork and that is huge." "For me there has always been a passion for food," Allen continued. "When I was growing up, my dad and grandpa made comfort food — stews and sauces, and there was always love in that food. On top of that it was good, and still is! My mom was great at making chocolate chip cookies with me, and that too was love and fun. Though that is the only thing my mom can make. I tell her all the time — 'don't go near that stove without assistance!'" Kids Culinary Adventures, http://www.kidsculinaryadventures.com.

Patti Murin, Natalie Charle Ellis, Lindsay Nicole Chambers, Jason Michael Snow and More Set for Popesical: In Concert
By Michael Gioia
Patti Murin, who starred in the Broadway musical Lysistrata Jones, will lead the concert version of Popesical, a new musical comedy by Adam Overett, May 27 at Joe's Pub in New York City.
Directed by Denis Jones (director-choreographer at the Williamstown Theater Festival, Paper Mill Playhouse and the Broadway Bares cabaret series), the 7 PM concert will feature Marshal Kennedy Carolan (Hair) as Cardinal McCafferty, Lindsay Nicole Chambers (Lysistrata Jones, Forbidden Broadway) as Cardinal Wallaby, Madeleine Doherty (Sister Act) as Cardinalissimo Francisco Franco, Natalie Charle Ellis (Forbidden Broadway) as Cardinal St. Louis, Murin (Xanadu, upcoming Love's Labour's Lost) as Cardinal Robin, David Perlman (Baby It's You!) as Cardinal Bergenstein, Tally Sessions (Big Fish) as Cardinal Hu-Jin Chao and Jason Michael Snow (The Book of Mormon) as Cardinal Fouette.

Composer Overett was a Musical Theater Fellow at the Dramatists Guild (2010-11) and a Lucille Lortel Award nominee for his contribution to the score of the Off-Broadway musical We the People (2011). He has also been a resident writer at the Goodspeed Mercer Colony and CAP21 (2013).

Steve, Katie and Steve discussed the brah who got beat down on lot in Colorado for simply selling his wares. The Denver Westword wrote a long piece detailing the facts, laws, etc. Do you have a good Phish lot confiscation story? Leave us a voicemail: 419-NO-WOOKS.
Next up: All Trey all the time! TAB tour began this week with a benefit at Higher Ground for Hurricane Irene victims. They debuted two new songs and the show is available on LivePhish for all those who can't wait for AUDs. This week Trey hits the Carolinas and Maryland. Check out the Ticket Rundown for prices near you.
Jam Cruise announced its Theme Nights: Mothership Masquerade, Go Green and Yacht Club. Get your creative costume juices flowing! And for those of you still on the fence, only 35 cabins left.
Next up TWoL's shows for the week. Toonces hit WSP, with an unsurprisingly questionable crowd. Of course, he fit right in. He also hit PGroove with listener @RickRoth3. And finally, Dayglow – body paint, neon lights and DJs. What else could you ask for?
In the meantime, Steve and Katie hit Conspirator at Brooklyn Bowl. Steve says it was his favorite Conspirator show – The Wall/Shakedown mash-up was a highlight! Katie followed that up the next night by a show by the London Souls at Brooklyn Bowl, a NYC band who has a modern take on the 70's – if you like Hendrix or Zeppelin, check them out.
And finally, just 'cause the Phish isn't touring doesn't mean there isn't fall music. Check out Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, Railroad Earth and the Cactus himself.
That's it for this TWoL. Looking forward to Emily's return next week and hoping that Nick doesn't get seduced by Wooks with crystals and promises of free heady grilled cheese for life…

Bullfinch: Woman denies lying about being raped as a child
Updated 6:06am Wednesday 23rd January 2013 in News By Ben Wilkinson, Crime Reporter, also covering Barton and Wood Farm. Call me on (01865) 425427
A YOUNG woman has this afternoon denied lying about being raped as a 14-year-old.
The witness was being questioned by defence barristers in the trial of nine men accused of running a child sex exploitation gang in Oxford.
Known as Girl 2 and now in her 20s, the woman says she was raped and trafficked for sex by Kamar Jamil and brothers Akhtar and Anjum Dogar in 2006.
The Old Bailey heard her and Girl 1 would run away to Oxford from their children's home.
And Andrew Jefferies, defending Akhtar Dogar, said she made up lies about his client to avoid getting into trouble with the home.
He said: "Is it confusion or, as I am suggesting, that these were just lies as you were in trouble?"
She replied: "None of it is a lie."
All nine defendants deny the 79 charges against them.
The trial continues.

GALESBURG, Ill. -- When the president hits the stage at Knox College on Wednesday, he will play up the economy, the main theme of his upcoming tour across the nation.
This is where he made his first "big speech" in 2005 after being elected to the Senate.
"To refocus on the economy and the struggles that middle-class families are going through, but also for us to start exploring some big and bold ideas," said President Barack Obama.
The series of speeches come as Congress and the White House prepare for fiscal showdowns in the fall.
They'll focus on efforts to revitalize the housing industry, expand manufacturing and sign up the uninsured for health care coverage.
"October 1, we are going to be able to sign up people for these marketplaces that are going to give people a square deal when it comes to their health insurance," said President Obama.
Across the country, cash-strapped cities like Detroit and Chicago will be listening, perhaps a bit more tuned in after dealing with bankruptcy filings and credit downgrades, but Republicans point to the major fiscal deadline ahead.
"The national debt and deficit continue to be the sword of Damocles that overhangs literally everything we do," said Senator John McCain, (R) Arizona.
"These speeches are not working. These speeches are not creating jobs. These speeches are not hiring. And we need to try something new," said RNC Press Secretary Kirsten Kukowski.
Harsh criticism aimed at the Obama Administration's attempt to change the focus in Washington.

GRANT HILL (CNS/CBS 8) - Police Sunday were seeking a man suspected of shooting his girlfriend's cousin in an apartment complex at 25th and J streets.
The incident occurred at 6:47 a.m., said San Diego Police officer Dan Lasher.
Police say 21-year-old Christian Jose Dominguez shot his girlfriend's cousin several times in the chest. The 18-year-old was taken to the hospital with nonlife threatening injuries.
"A woman had been involved in a domestic violence situation with her ex-boyfriend on Saturday and had called her relative to help stay with her and protect her," Lasher said. "The suspect returned and the relative chased him off through the night."
This incident reportedly happened in front of the couples toddler.
Police say Dominguez and his girlfriend were having problems. She called police Saturday saying Dominguez attacked her.
When police arrived the suspect was gone, so a cousin stayed with her for protection. When Dominguez returned, he found his girlfriend's cousin in the home, shot him, then fled again.
The suspect was last seen wearing a black cap and hoodie, blue jeans and white tennis shoes. He left the scene in a red 2-door Mitsubishi Eclipse.

Many thought the Grizzlies would try to move Arthur tonight, but most thought it would be to free up cap space. In an unexpected trade, the Grizzlies will reportedly send Arthur and tonight's 55th pick to the Nuggets for Kosta Koufos according to a report by ESPN's Marc Stein.
Hearing Grizzlies have trade in the works: Darrell Arthur and 55th pick will be dealt to Denver for Kosta Koufos— Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) June 28, 2013
My first impression is YESSSSSSSSSS! This is a brilliant trade. The Griz get rid of a role player that has diminished value because he can't stay healthy and the 55th pick for a role player that fills a need for the Grizzlies and can do a lot of things well on the court. Koufos is a high-energy guy that can rebound like crazy, block shots at a decent rate, and finish very adeptly at the rim. This is a great trade for the Grizzlies even if it frees up no cap space. Welcome Kosta!

Ten good reasons to go golfing around Cape Town
Golf in South Africa began in 1885 when Lieutenant-General Sir Henry D'Oyley Torrens, commander of the British garrison stationed in the Cape founded the Royal Cape Golf Club. Well over a century later the course has stood the test of time and remains one of the Cape's premier golfing destinations. A relatively flat course, it weaves through avenues of trees and water features which add to the appeal and challenge of the game.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten has not yet been cleared for contact by team doctors and his status for the season opener against the Giants is doubtful, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
After meeting with several medical specialists this week, doctors still have not cleared Dallas TE Jason Witten to play in Wednesday's regular-season opener vs. Giants, according to league source.
Witten suffered a lacerated spleen in the Cowboys' first preseason game against Oakland and has just recently returned to physical rehab work on the field. Witten has been running, catching passes and working on resistance bands during practice this week.
The Cowboys face the New York Giants next Wednesday, Sept. 5, with the team then facing a 10-day break before their Week 2 matchup with the Seattle Seahawks. Witten has missed just two regular season games in his career, despite suffering a broken jaw and several cases of injured ribs in nine years with the Cowboys.

Ashley Cabral joins soccer program as Head Assistant
November 17, 2008
Winston-Salem, NC- The Salem College soccer program is excited to announce the addition of Ashley Cabral to the coaching staff. Cabral, a former standout at Greensboro College, will begin working for the program as the head assistant immediately. Her duties will include recruiting student athletes, planning and running practices, and assisting with camps.
Head Coach Jay Callahan says "I am very excited to have Ashley join the program. She had an excellent career as a top notch division III soccer player at Greensboro. I have also coached against her club team, and know that she is a very positive and vocal coach. I think she will be a great role model for our young program. She knows how to succeed as a DIII athlete, and I am sure she will help us reach our goals as a team."
During her senior year, Cabral led the USA South Conference in both points and goals, and helped Greensboro to a 14-4-1 record. She was named USA South Player of the Year (the first ever Greensboro College female soccer player to receive the award). In addition, she was named to the USA South First-Team, USA South All-Tournament Team, NCCSIA All-State Team and Greensboro's Offensive Player of the Year for the second year in a row. Cabral was also picked for the NSCAA All-South Region third team and D3kicks.com first team All-Region. She set a Greensboro single season record for most goals, points and game-winning goals, with 26 goals, 5 assists, 57 total point and 6 game-winning goals in only 19 games. She was second in the nation for goals and third for points. Cabral leads the Greensboro career record books for most game-winning goals, 9, and most minutes played, 4703 minutes. She ended her career with 109 points (47 goals, 15 assists), which places her second all-time at Greensboro College.
Cabral is currently coaching in the Piedmont Triad Football Club for a U-13 girl's classic team. She has worked soccer camps for GYS, GUS, Dynamites, UNC Chapel-Hill and Greensboro College. She was also a volunteer coach for the YMCA and the Dynamites. For the past 4 years she has coordinated with coaches like Franco Bari and Tracy Ducar to run camps and individual training sessions for girls, boys and coed teams. In addition, Ashley works at Proehlific Park Youth Sports Complex where she is the soccer coordinator and does individual training for all players.

Calling it as I see it

Let's not allow the heat of the political moment to take our eyes off the ball and miss what is most important in determining our vote for president.
The White House

Watching the conventions, with the differences and arguments of the primary season behind us, one is encouraged to think that each party believes its nominee is the greatest, the wisest, the best equipped to handle any and all problems, the answer to whatever ails us as a nation.
For those of us on the outside looking in, unfazed by the Kool-Aid of uniform thinking, we need to prioritize the key issues that matter most, and to establish how to measure the strengths and weaknesses of the candidates.
This question arises as Barack Obama and Mitt Romney both point to the president's record to make the case that they deserve to win the vote of Jewish Americans. One argues success, the other alleges failure.
So, how do we interpret the record they dispute? For starters, the standard by which we judge politicians should not be based solely on the partisan label at the voting booth. I care much more about a candidate's track record of performance than his or her party affiliation, which is why over the years I have supported both Democrats and Republicans. When a president of either party does the right thing and has earned the support of the Jewish community, we should not hesitate to say so.
Second, how a president performs on the most critical issues, when bold leadership is required to make a difference, is more important than down-the-line agreement on everything, which is an unfair test.
A vigorous debate with a range of opinions aired is a healthy exercise. But as the saying goes, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but not to their own facts. And on the big questions concerning Israel, I believe the facts support the president.
By the most important benchmark – security – the Obama administration has invested more in Israel's defense than any of its predecessors. Specifically, the president spearheaded funding for the Iron Dome system to shield families in Sderot and Ashkelon and Beersheba from ongoing rocket attacks from Gaza.
Under the president's leadership, cooperation between the US and Israeli militaries, intelligence communities and defense establishments has become closer and deeper than ever. He clearly appreciates and has delivered on Israel's need to have a qualitative military edge over declared enemies who vastly outnumber the Jewish state. He has pledged to ensure Israel can defend itself, by itself, from any threat – and he has provided Israel the tools, resources and means to get the job done.
Don't take my word for it. Listen to Israel's leaders and to military commanders in the United States and Israel: all agree there never has been a time of better security collaboration between our two countries.
On an equally vital matter, a major Palestinian and global initiative is well under way to try to delegitimize Israel, to use international institutions to elevate Palestinians while diminishing Israel at every opportunity. The BDS approach – boycott, disinvestment, sanctions – is dangerous because it has received support from so many in the world.
No longer are these tactics backed by just a hodgepodge of undemocratic, rogue nations; these ideas have permeated respectable regional powers in Latin America, Africa and Asia, constituting a growing threat to Israel's economy and security.
But at the UN, when Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas tried to circumvent the peace process to get premature UN endorsement for a Palestinian state – with the world expecting Abbas would succeed – President Obama stood firm and spoke eloquently in opposition.
A large majority of well over 100 countries was arrayed against Israel and the US, but the plan fell apart in the Security Council after effective US lobbying derailed the vote. The mischief makers who often hold sway at the UN and at various international forums were stopped cold thanks to President Obama's leadership.
On the single greatest threat to Israel's security, the prospect of a nuclear Iran, President Obama has dramatically tightened the screws on Tehran through a series of economic sanctions. He argued for sanctions in the US Senate, and under his leadership the UN has passed measures that many doubted could be achieved.
Few imagined President Obama could unite Europe. Almost no one believed Russia and China would provide support, albeit to a more limited extent. But thanks to President Obama, the sanctions regime has a chance to work.
In the end, no one can be sure if the mullahs in Tehran will relent. Diplomacy is not the goal; it is a tool. The bottom line is that the president has made it plain that Iran will not be allowed to intimidate and threaten the security of Israel, the entire Middle East, or the US and its allies.
To the American people, to Israel, and to Iran, President Obama has given his word: US national security interests demand that we not take any option off the table to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
These are the things that matter most. On each one – security cooperation with Israel, combating international efforts to undermine Israel's legitimacy, and pursuing a policy that prevents Iran from developing nukes – the president's actions have backed up his pledge to support Israel.
The Middle East is undergoing tremendous change, and Israeli security officials have their hands full with terrorist and jihadi threats on every border. The next president will have enormous decisions to make, ones that may determine the direction of the region for an entire generation.
This election, as Vice President Joe Biden might say, "is a big deal."
As Jews, we have a lot to consider, much to sift through and analyze, with serious consequences for Israel's future. It is a burden for which exhaustive Talmud study has prepared us well. Let's not allow the heat of the political moment to take our eyes off the ball and miss what is most important in determining our vote for president.

Clayton Boyer Clock Designs
Modern Times
Modern Times is an amazingly simple clock to build and easy to get into beat. Like Simplicity, I had my Modern Times cut out and running within two days (Warning: Don't try this at home). This is partly because Modern Times uses a "uni-frame" construction to which all the wheels are mounted, thus eliminating the need for a separate front framework - also because Modern Times only uses a single hour hand, cutting of all those extra wheels for the dial train is eliminated.
The single hour hand travels around the large, 13.5 inch diameter chapter ring showing the hours in Roman numerals. At the base of the chapter ring are holes drilled for each 15 minute increment and the center hole of the hour hand aligns directly over each of these marks to tell the approximate minute.
Except for the hardwood uni-frame, my Modern Times is made completely from Baltic birch ply, but the small wheels throughout Modern Times make it an ideal project for solid wood construction.

As runners, we know that many factors affect performance; some of these are under our control (e.g., diet) and others are not (aging).What impact do medications have on performance? Many variables go into answering this question, such as the reason the medication was prescribed. For example, an illness is much more likely to reduce your performance than the antibiotic prescribed to treat it.
Every drug has specific pharmacokinetics – that is, how it functions. Additionally, you may have an idiosyncratic response to a medication. That's why it's possible for people to have contradictory reactions, such as constipation for one person and diarrhea for another, to a medication, or why I've had many patients complain about side effects that don't make sense, such as feeling wired when they take diphenhydramine (Benadryl), a medication commonly used as a sleep aid.
With that said, let's review the impact on running performance of some commonly used chronic medications.
High Blood Pressure
Elevated blood pressure is a common problem, even in athletes. Many classes of medications may be used to treat hypertension. Diuretics (water pills) aren't recommended for runners because of problems with dehydration and electrolyte deficits. Beta blockers – the generic name for these end in "olol," such as propranolol – also decrease performance. This class of medications decreases heart rate, resulting in decreased cardiac output and VO2 max. Some beta blockers are more selective than others and have less impact on performance.
Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE inhibitors) and their cousin Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) tend to be well tolerated by endurance athletes. Many runners tolerate calcium channel blockers well. Your health care provider may select a specific class of medications based on your medical history and concomitant problems. Unfortunately, the best medication to treat you may harm your performance.
High cholesterol
Cholesterol-lowering medications are common, with the class known as statins prescribed most frequently. In addition to potentially causing damage to the liver, this class of medications can also affect muscle. Many patients complain of muscle pain when they begin taking these medications or when the dosage is increased. In some cases, especially in conjunction with strenuous exercise, the muscle injury can lead to significant levels of enzymes in the blood, which can ultimately result in kidney damage or worse. If you take a statin, you may want to discuss withholding this medication for several days before a marathon.
Other cardiovascular issues
Another group of medications commonly used in patients with cardiovascular issues, such as coronary artery disease and peripheral vascular disease, affects clotting of blood. These medications, commonly called blood thinners, affect different components in the blood that slow clotting. Medications in this group of drugs include Coumadin, Plavix and aspirin. These medications don't actually "thin" the blood, and shouldn't hurt endurance activities, unless bleeding is occurring. Black bowel movements, gum bleeding and increasing fatigue may be signs of blood loss and warrant further evaluation. The risk of bleeding is increased by concomitant use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen and naproxen.
