Sherlock Holmes must surely rate as the greatest detective in fictional history. Granada Television must be credited for bringing Sherlock Holmes out of the story books into the our living rooms. This television series is now available in the dvd format for millions of fans of Sherlock Holmes worldwide. The entire credit for bringing Sherlock Holmes to life must undoubtedly go to the late Jeremy Brett, who portrayed the character of Holmes to absolute perfection. Not only did his physical characteristics match the description of Sherlock Holmes by the author, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, to the... (Expand)
Gentlemen,do not waste your time and effort in buying this Boxed Set, as the DVD's are all defective. Every DVD in this set freezes up after about 30 minutes of playing. I have this set bought from Flipkart itself. Flipkart, as is their usual great customer care and response, will replace your Boxed Set, if you complain to them, but in the end it will cost you in time and money, as the whole lot seem's to have a inherent flaw, so there is no point in getting a replacement also.
I bought this set when the duscount was 50%. The first set was defective - the first DVD I picked itself froze after a minute. Flipkart sent me a replacement. The first 3 DVDs I tried (from different collections) worked fine. I didn't get time to try out all the DVDs. Recently, I tried one more, and it froze after a few minutes. It is now 30 days since the replacement was delivered - probably too late to seek a refund. I am very disappointed.
I see Flipkart has upped the price now to nearly 100%. What should we conclude about the 50% off sale then?
this is a good collection of sherlock holms but there is nothing extra content simple dvds and nothing I expected more in this collection and also poor packing quality
Jeremy Brett is unbeatable as Sherlock Holmes! Fantastic series. Retains the originality of the Arthur Conan Doyle stories. Packaging is quite decent. Liked the art design especially on the spines. Little bit of trivia given about key characters is interesting. All DVDs play just fine. Plus got a great discount!

I go to Wally's frequently, once a month or so, its kind of out of the way for me and a pain in traffic. Nice shop with great selections of wine and liquor. Get on their email list as you have a chance to buy over the phone and get down there at your own convenience. I always find a brew to try or something I have been looking for, although they sell out of stuff very fast. Can be a little expensive, but they have semi annual tent sales where all beers are 20% off and they have great deals on wine and booze. The beer buyer, Stephanie, is very nice and always down to talk beer if she has the time.

Wally's is my go-to stop in Los Angeles, as the only other store that's close is Ramirez - which has worse selection and service.
I frequently order from Wally's via phone after receiving their "Beer update" email delivered to everyone on their beer list. Calls are quick and efficient, and you pay on the phone for your beer. I love this system because it means I don't have to worry about rushing over to pick up beers that are being held for me but can still be purchased by others; it's first come first served and I know that once I buy a beer, it's set aside for me.
Stephanie, the beer merchant, is knowledgable and friendly. I haven't talked to her about what I'd like to see ordered more frequently, but I intend to.
Service is fast. They happily package your beer with bottle protectors, in boxes. Amex, mastercard, and visa are all accepted.
The pricing is reasonable for the area, but some of their beers are jaw-droppingly expensive.
It balances its emphases well; beer wine and liquor are all equally weighted in spite of the store's name.
Wally's also features a posh cheese shoppe, which I don't at all recommend because the prices are outrageous.
I've yet to encounter a better beer store in L.A. Trumps BevMo and Whole Foods in my book.
I would like to see them introduce a loyalty program/card or something to maybe give dedicated customers a periodic discount.

Nice wine and beer shop near the UCLA campus.
Tough review, since I spent less than 10 minutes in the shop while my wife circled looking for parking.
All the beer I saw was cold across the back of the store in ~10 cooler doors, with lots of single selections and signs indicating warm sixers were available. Nice split of import and micro selections. AleSmith and Stone well represented. Alaskan, Telegraph, Crooked Line all there too.
Service was nice at the checkout, but none offered while looking.
Nice destination neighborhood shop.

this place is very good for Los Angeles. I find that most of the shops in Los Angeles, aren't really bottle shops per se and most focus a lot on Wine.
This one is no different in that regard, they tend to have a very good selection of beer, though they don't have anything crazy rare as the selection is always fairly picked over due to the huge amount of foot traffic.
All the beer is kept in refrigerated coolers which is perfect and they tend to have RR, Alesmith and the other CA locals.
Service tends to be very good and they are always super helpful.
worth a stop by if your in the area as you'll find something tasty to drink.

Since I don't live in Santa Monica/LA (outside of it) I don't normally come unless I know they have some good stuff. When you walk in everyone always says hi. It is mainly a wine store, but they have a solid beer selection - everything they stock is relatively sought after - they don't waste space with the "common" stuff overall (i.e. Sam Adams, Sierra Nevada, etc and by that I mean the 12 packs, 6 packs, etc.). Service is great - I am always asked if I need help and if I say no they leave you be...the perfect way to handle it IMO. The selection is actually pretty damn good overall. RR stuff, Victory at Sea, FiftyFifty Evan Williams, they DID have Abyss in the back, Sanctification, Tactical Nuclear Penguin (now on shelves), etc. Ask them what they have in back - got a Red Poppy today. As stated, pretty good selection. The value is about on par with LA, but that means it is a bit pricy because other places in CA have these for cheaper. But still, definitely worth a stop!

I have been to Wally's a few times now. Funny, I never knew about it when I went to school at UCLA, but it's somewhat close to the campus.
Wally's is a pretty upscale place that carries wine, liquor, beer, and even has a cheese shop. ALL of their beer is refrigerated in the back and there are about 8 cooler doors. All beer is organized very well by country or brewery.
They have a large selection of US craft beer that CA gets (Alpine, Ommegang, Avery, Lagunitas) and beers from Europe and Japan. I have found beers here I can't find anywhere else (Drie Fonteinen, De Dolle, Beer Here, Haand, Achel, Hanssens). Prices can be somewhat steep, but it's expected for the high quality beer they stock.
Staff has always been very helpful and polite every time I have gone.
I would highly recommend this place if you are anywhere in the LA area.

Susan S. of Santa Rosa asks: What fall/winter vegetables can I grow now, either from seeds or starts? I'd love to have some fresh veggies to pick at that time of the year!
There are many different vegetables that grow and perform better when the temperatures are cool, and sometimes even cold, and not bothered by light to heavy frosts. The seeds of these vegetables will also germinate well in the cool soils. The best time to sow seed or plant these vegetables is from fall into winter.
Leafy vegetables include Swiss chard, lettuces and spinach. If you'd like to try a few more exotic vegetables, sow or plant the Asian greens such as the bok and pak choys, Chinese broccoli, Chinese cabbage, Chinese mustard and garland chrysanthemum. Then there's collards, chicory, endive, kale and mustard. Leafy vegetables like water, so make sure to keep the soil consistently moist if there is no rain yet.
Root vegetables that are easy to grow include beets, carrots, garlic, leeks, onions, and radishes. Try some of the old-fashioned root vegetables such as salsify and turnips. Some unusual roots, and root-like edibles, that are also worth the effort to grow are celeriac (celery root), fennel and kohlrabi. Root vegetables like deep, rich soil, so be sure to add lots of compost before planting.
Let's not forget broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage and cauliflower, which thrive in the cooler weather.
The pods, of course, are the peas, including the English peas and the snap peas/sugar peas. An odd relative is broad bean (also called fava or faba), usually planted as a cover crop, then chopped up early in spring and incorporated into the soil for added nitrogen and as a soil amendment.
The European greens and assorted salad greens are some of the easiest to grow. There's arugula, corn salad (mâche), garden and pepper cress, sorrel and, of course, the dandelion. Make sure that these greens get even moisture, especially when the plants are young. Enjoy!

This clean, white arete is another underrated classic moderate of HP40. Start sitting on good sidepull jugs on either side of the arete. Stand up and reach for a hold on the arete, then a decent sidepull pod above and to the left. Moving your feet up, reach towards the upper part of the slopey arete. If you stick this sloper move, it's an easy reach to a good knob atop the arete and a simple topout.
The arete rises alongside its namesake bridge, which in turn is on the trail from Cadillac Thrills to Elephant Rock. Walking from Genesis to Slider will also take you right past it.
Pad, as a fall onto the bridge is possible.

UPDATE: Carl Hayden High School officials say 1500 students were absent Friday. That's three times more than usual.
Is it a hoax, or will the threat of a school shooting be carried out at Carl Hayden High School Friday? A question on the minds of many students and parents Thursday evening.Some parents plan to have their kids stay home, the district has told students who plan to come to school to leave backpacks, valentine's day stuffed animals, and gifts at home. Students may have to go through a security checkpoint before stepping foot on the campus. The district however is not canceling classes.A lot of parents and kids we spoke with say they're planning to skip school tomorrow in case the threat is actually carried out."I'm concerned the safety of my son, that's what I'm mostly concerned about," said one parent.Many parents are taking the threat seriously. School officials started investigating the threatening note on Tuesday. Students say a note was left in a school bathroom, it said that a shooting was going to happen on the campus on valentine's dayFOX 10 asked Arturo Forte if he was going to send his daughter to school, "I don't know, maybe not," said Forte.Officials say there's going to be a stepped up police presence at the school and there will also be a limited number of entrances students can use to get on campus. They haven't decided as of yet whether to put in metal detectors or have security officers use wands on the students.The Carl Hayden HS Principal sent a letter home to parents on Thursday letting them know about the threat. The letter said, "despite the rumors, or what your student may have reported, classes will be held as scheduled. We will have increased security measures in place."Those measures include banning backpacks and valentine's day stuffed animals or gifts on campus Friday."It didn't make sense to me, no gifts either for valentines c'mon it doesn't make sense" said Leonel Alvarez, a student.FOX 10 asked Antonio Bracamontes how he felt about the threat, "Not really... they're probably messing around... just to scare us," said Bracamontes.But many parents say - they're not taking any chances, and neither should the school. "I think they should just cancel tomorrow and make them go an extra day later so no one will get hurt," said Rocha. The district spokesperson says it's not uncommon for schools to get threats like this one, they take all threats seriously but most of them are hoaxes.But school officials can't say for sure if this threat is a hoax, or if it's real. They say they're worried that all this hype about it is legitimizing an otherwise bogus threat.But parents we spoke with say in light of the shooting that happened at Cesar Chavez High School a couple weeks ago and all the other school shootings that have been taking place at across the nation recently they'd rather keep their kids home tomorrow just to be safe.

The Green Bay Packers are your 2011 Super Bowl winners which means this is going to be a good week for their fans. Many schools let out early to prepare for the Packers Super Bowl celebration at Lambeau Field on Tuesday.
The celebration (not a parade) goes on from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. (ET) and the early word is that the team sold 50,000 $5 tickets. The celebration will be broadcast on NFL Network.
If you're taking off work or school and heading to this event, then I call that dedication. Temperatures are expected to be around seven degrees this afternoon and dropping to -4 by this evening. As you can see in the photo below (via Twitter), the field is covered in snow:
Fans have already celebrated some with the team when they returned from Dallas. There were an estimated 35,000 people who came out to welcome the Packers home.
The name of the celebration is "Return To Titletown".

The faulty cancer gene that's a 'ticking timebomb' for girl
7:00am Thursday 16th January 2014 in News By Debbie Waite
WHEN little Avah Davies was diagnosed with a cancer so rare doctors could not put a name to it, her parents thought things could not get any worse.
But then Eoin and Charlene Davies learned their daughter is carrying a faulty gene – a ticking time bomb – which means she could develop even more types of cancer.
Just over a year ago, Mrs Davies, 30, from Rookery Way, Bicester, felt a lump on the right side of her baby daughter Avah's upper body.
Two weeks on, after an inconclusive visit to the doctors, another GP felt something she could not identify and immediately sent Avah to the John Radcliffe Hospital.
After several days of tests, doctors confirmed that the then six-month-old Avah had a tumour attached to two of her ribs.
Eoin Davies, Avah's 51-year-old father and full-time carer, said: "Specialists in Oxford were unable to identify the cancer as they had never come across it before.
"One consultant said it was a high grade sarcoma but couldn't put a name to it.
"Even a group of experts from around the world attending a seminar in London were stumped.
"Time was ticking by and we were getting anxious. We knew it was a very rare cancer but we needed to know if anything could be done."
While an expert was sought who could identify the cancer, doctors in Oxford started Avah on a course of chemotherapy. But the treatment did not shrink the tumour.
Mr Davies said: "At first, doctors said operating was too dangerous, but that became her only chance and Avah had successful surgery in April last year to remove two ribs and the tumour."
Doctors recommended a course of more intensive chemotherapy treatment.
But blood test results then showed that as well as having a rare cancer, Avah has a fault to a gene that normally stops cells from forming tumours. The faulty gene increases her risk from other cancers.
Avah, now 18-months old, has a brother, Miles, 20, and a sister Jaylan, seven, and is currently free of treatment, but is screened regularly.
While her cancer has still not been identified, for the purposes of treating her, doctors are dealing with it as a high grade sarcoma.
Her hair is growing back and she is feeling well.
But Mr Davies said: "We are still in a dark place because we have been told there is a high chance of her getting cancer again, for which nothing can be done.
"Avah is not old enough to know what is going on and she smiles all the time.
"Our beautiful daughter has been a real battler.
"She has been through some very tough times but she just gets on with it."
Now the young girl has been awarded a Cancer Research UK Little Star award for her bravery.
Helen Johnstone, Cancer Research UK's spokeswoman for Oxfordshire, said: "Nobody could fail to be moved by her story."
- The Little Star Awards are open to all under-18s who have cancer or who have been treated for the disease in the last five years.
- Every child nominated for a Little Star receives the accolade and siblings of Little Stars also receive a special certificate in recognition of their support.

نیوشا توکلیان – مجموعه جدید عکس و ویدئو
این بار کمی نزدیکتر و در محیط خانه، دوربینم راروی سه پایه گذاشتم در مقابل پنجره اتاقی که 10 سال است هر روز از آن چشم اندازی ثابت از شهر را می بینم ، شهری که هنوز نمیدانم دوستش دارم یانه. پنجره ای که به روی چندین پنجره بسته دیگر گشوده می شود و پشتشان را نمی بینم. این داستان دیگران است. کسانی که داستان زندگی شان را میدانم. ثبت لحظه هائی از آن در قاب یک پنجره و اتاق، و پشت به منظره سرد و غبارآلود شهر من.
نیوشا توکلیان
This time, closer than ever and in my own house, I fixed my camera on a tripod; in front of the window where I'd watched the same view of the city for ten years, a city that I don't know if I love or not. A window that opens on to many other windows that are all closed and I cannot see into. This is the story of others. The others that I know and their stories. I have captured moments from their stories in this room and within the frame of a window that looks upon the cold and hazy view of My City.
Newsha Tavakolian
Overview and History
Tehran is the capital of Iran and the largest city in the Middle East, with a population of fifteen million people living under the peaks of the Alborz mountain range.
Although archaeological evidence places human activity around Tehran back into the years 6000BC, the city was not mentioned in any writings until much later, in the thirteenth century. It's a relatively new city by Iranian standards.
But Tehran was a well-known village in the ninth century. It grew rapidly when its neighboring city, Rhages, was destroyed by Mongolian raiders. Many people fled to Tehran.
In the seventeenth century Tehran became home to the rulers of the Safavid Dynasty. This is the period when the wall around the city was first constructed. Tehran became the capital of Iran in 1795 and amazingly fast growth followed over the next two hundred years.
The recent history of Tehran saw construction of apartment complexes and wide avenues in place of the old Persian gardens, to the detriment of the city's cultural history.
The city at present is laid out in two general parts. Northern Tehran is more cosmopolitan and expensive, southern Tehran is cheaper and gets the name "downtown."
Getting There
Mehrabad airport is the original one which is currently in the process of being replaced by Imam Khomeini International Airport. The new one is farther away from the city but it now receives all the international traffic, so allow an extra hour to get there or back.
Tehran driving can be a wild free-for-all like some South American cities, so get ready for shared taxis, confusing bus routes and a brand new shiny metro system to make it all better. To be fair, there is a great highway system here.
The metro has four lines, tickets cost 2000IR, and they have segregated cars. The women-only carriages are the last two at the end, FYI.
Taxis come in two flavors, shared and private. Private taxis are more expensive but easier to manage for the visiting traveler. Tehran has a mean rush hour starting at seven AM and lasting until 8PM in its evening version. Solution? Motorcycle taxis! They cut through the traffic and any spare nerves you might have left.
People and Culture
More than sixty percent of Tehranis were born outside of the city, making it as ethnically and linguistically diverse as the country itself. Tehran is the most secular and liberal city in Iran and as such it attracts students from all over the country.
Things to do, Recommendations
Take the metro to the Tehran Bazaar at the stop "Panzda Gordad". There you can find anything and everything -- shoes, clothes, food, gold, machines and more. Just for the sight of it alone you should take a trip there.
If you like being outside, go to Darband and drink tea in a traditional setting. Tehranis love a good picnic and there are plenty of parks to enjoy. Try Mellat park on a friday (fridays are public holidays), or maybe Park Daneshjou, Saaii or Jamshidieh.
Remember to go upstairs and have a look around, always always always! The Azadi Tower should fit the bill; it was constructed to commemorate the 2500th anniversary of the Persian Empire.
Tehran is also full of museums such as:
the Contemporary Art Museum
the Abghine Musuem (glass works)
the 19th century Golestan Royal Palace museum
the museum of carpets (!!!)
Reza Abbasi Museum of extraordinary miniatures
and most stunning of all,
the Crown Jewels Museum which holds the largest pink diamond in the world and many other jaw-dropping jewels.

This makes my thick wavy hair feel soooo soft and silky..and thats saying a lot. I honestly dislike putting ANY product on my hair because it makes me feel like my hair is dirty but this is the only product that i've used and really love. I don't know if it helps with frizz because I use it after I flatiron my hair but its great for flyaways. It makes my hair smell good too. You only need 2-3 pumps of this at the most and you work it from the ends of your hair to the top or else you'd have greasy looking roots. You get 100ml so it lasts quite a while. I got this from my cousin so I dont know how much this retails for but when i run out i'm going to get me another bottle.
Works really well at controlling frizz when air drying my hair; doesn't work as well when I blow dry it for some reason.
Meh . . . I guess I'm the lone dissenter here, but I really haven't been all that impressed with this stuff. I was so excited when I first bought it -- the reviews were great and the product had a nice slip to it when I put some in my hand. I thought, "Wow, maybe this stuff really is going to be the answer to my frizz issues." Then, I blowdried my hair. OMG -- I would have been better off not using anything at all! I've been using products (including just about ever anti-frizz serum/concoction out there) forEVER and know how much to apply and where to apply it. But, for some reason, this stuff just made my hair look awful. It was dry, dry, dry and stuck out in wierd places like straw. I was shocked! It even made my ordinarily shiny dark brown hair look like dried mud. I hated it and proceeded to wash my hair again just to get the stuff out! I guess it's back to my silk groom and Redken glass combo. It's too bad because I was looking for a cheaper way to get my hair smooth and less frizzy. In the interest of fairness, I should say that I live in south florida (hot, humid and rainy) and I have lots of fine, semi-curly hair. So, I think my hair poses a challenge to most products and, if you live somewhere less humid and/or have more cooperative hair, this product may be great for you. It has been for everyone else, it seems, so take this review with a grain of salt.
This is my HG anti-frizzer! When I get out of the shower and my hair dries, it is flyaway-city. I pump a tiny bit of this stuff onto my hands using the awesome pump-thing packaging and apply it through my hair (NOT THE ROOTS! you will look greasy!) and wa-la! Perfectly shiny no-flyaway hair! The packaging is great, with a pump and a lock so it doesn't leak. I've had this for like 2 years (the same product, I haven't reperchased yet) and it's still going strong. You get a lot of the product in this packaging since you only need to use a tiny tiny bit. The smell isn't great but it isn't bad in my opinion, and everyone says my hair smells good so I dont know if it's this stuff or my shampoo/conditioner. You won't be dissapointed with this! xx
Hmm, let's see...cheap, works great, available at drugstore...I love it!

I think this is a really good product but I have thin hair and it was kind of too much for it like it made it greasy and weighed down. I think this is much better for thicker hair.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I was looking for a hair straightener to replace my Nioxin one and i decided to give this a try based on the reviews on MUA. I thought it would only tame the frizzies but it actually did a great job in straightening my hair, better than everything i've used so far! It makes my hair extremely soft, manageable, shiny, and i also love the smell.
Very good product, i will repurchase
I just bought this product after reading all the rave reviews and comparisons to Kerastase Oleo Relax Serum. Mind you, I have been a die hard Kerastase fan since I discovered the brand last year and have loved my Oleo Relax Serum since I found it. This product is only OKAY to me - I think for someone w/ thicker hair, this product would work great on them. For my fine, straight/wavy hair, this product was too heavy and left it weighed down and not lightweight like my Kerastase does. All of this might be psychological bc of my loyalty to Kerastase - but I honestly think ebaying Kerastase Oleo Relax Serum for $20 for a bottle that will last you 3-4months is totally worth it for the results. But like I said it is not a terrible replacement for the Kerastase esp if you are in college and have no funds!! But as soon as you get a job, please upgrade to Kerastase!! =)
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I am a sworn by Kerastase Olea Relax serum girl..it is my savior. It smooths my naturally coarse, wavy hair, whethet I want it styled a bit fuller, or prepping it for a straightening iron. However, while I do LOVE Kerastase, since I use it EVERY DAY, I do not love the $$. Recently I moved to CA, and altbough I find it odd, Longs Drugstore carries Kerastase (with an even higher markup than salons) BUT on a whim, I decided to compare the ingredients in Oleo Relax serum to the Loreal Vive Smoothing Serum. I know that Loreal now owns Kerastase, and I have to say, the top ingrediants are the same, and the difference was the source of oils. The packaging is remarkablly similar, and the true test, was the consistency or viscosity of the Loreal Vive is the same as the Olea Relax (that is what I have always hated about any other serum on teh market..they are always thick and goopy) So, for the whopping price of $3.99 at Longs Drug, I decided to try the Vive Smoothing, and did 1/2 my hair with it, 1/2 my hair with my tried and true Kerastase Olea Relax. No difference. Really. The pump works the same, the product feels the same, slightly different smell but still along the sunflower line, and both had the same results..smoother hair
15 out of 15 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I bought this serum based on the reviews I've read on MUA, and I LOVE it! I had been using Frizz-Ease for fine hair, but this stuff is much better. I have hair about 2 inches past my shoulders, and I put two pumps on, avoiding my roots. It makes my hair soft, silky, and straight with no frizzies, even in the humid Texas weather. Great product!

4.7/5 rDev +15.2%
It was dark in the bar but I want to say the color of the beer was a dark cocoa with a dark tan creamy dense head on top. It was served to me in a wide mouth Chalice. Carbonation was low from the look but there was a full thick ring of lacing.
The smell was of dark coffee grounds and espresso at first followed by chocolate of the more bitter sweet kind. Smell finishes with roasted malts and subtle grassy or leafy hops.
The taste comes in opposite. First came a blend of chocolates (dark and heavy cream milk chocolate) then the roasted malts, strong coffee (the kind you want to wake up to) and a touch of bitter or slightly briny hops which hardly lingers, there just long enough that you are looking even more forward to that next hit of cocoa.
The mouthfeel is well balanced and extremely creamy. Carbonation is pretty mild but the beer isn't flat. With everything else your mouth is experiencing you don't really even notice it.
The beer is full bodied as any porter or dark belgian would be, coming out of the tap I could drink several easily.
Seeing as this beer is meant to be aged about 3 years I am definitely going to stash one away for later. I can see the potential for it getting even better.

I missed last years VE so I grabbed this as soon as I saw it.Poured into a chalice a deep dark brown,nearly black, with a thinner deep tan colored head.Aromas of candied sugar,dark fruit,caramel.and light phenolic spice,a good mix of aromas for the style.Phenols are bigger on the palate giving off a clovey-like spice,alcohol dipped dark fruit with a tinge of earth round out the flavors.Its a tad hot but its new so its understandable,a very nice rich flavored brew brew here.

The dark beauty of this poor is something to behold with its frothy tan cap. The aromas of dark sweet malts, fuity hops, and chocolate are great in unison with a mild spice and vanilla accents. The taste enduces much salivation as the tartness is just barely dominant over the sweet roasted malt and cocoa flavors. The body is just south of bold and it is a great beer to savor and sip. A really good offering in Stone's tradition of great Vertical Epics.

3/5 rDev -26.5%
Pours a black body with a khaki tan head. Aroma is pretty much just roasted malts, nothing too exciting. Mouthfeel is medium to full bodied. Flavors are molases and caramelized brown sugar and very sweet. There's a "dusty" taste as well, and some earthy smoked peat flavors. This wasn't bad, but I didn't get excited to drink it after the first sip.

3.8/5 rDev -6.9%
A: Pure black with a large foamy tan head.
S: Surprisingly it has a fuit tone that comes across the strongest.
T: Toasty and smoked with a hoppy finish. Some coffee flavors in the after taste. Not much of the choclate or fruit flavors comes through but some of their sweetness does. No strong alcohol taste.
M: A bit heavy but not so thick and without any heat. Relatively smooth. Feels alot like your average stout.
D: A nice casual drinker. It's a bit heavy but nit a task to finish.
Overall a nice beer. It's my first introduction to the Vertical Epic series and I'll certainly pick up the 10/10/10 when it comes out.

In a snifter the beer was dark brown/black with a thick mocha head that disappeared quickly. A lot of aromas: chocolate, roasted malt, fruit. A lot of tastes also. Chocolate and tangerine to start with, some other fruit, and a n espresso finish. Nice rich beer. Liked it a lot.

22 oz bottle. Pours very dark brown with a frothy tan head that quickly goes to a thin film that leaves a little lacing.
The aroma is sweet grainy malts, a little woody fruitiness, and some gummy yeastiness.
The flavor is sweet chocolate malts, some dark fruits with a big roasted/charred bitter finish that's fairly harsh. The mouthfeel medium to full with soft carbonation.
Overall, an interesting beer. I kept not wanting to like it, but kept changing my mind. It's a bit harsh in the bitterness, but it'll be interesting to see how this ages.

22oz brown bomber.
Light brown lacing wraps around the inside of the glass almost all the way down. As close to black as you can get. Chocolatey nose, dark with some burnt sugar ... Edge of citric peel and esters. Soft and smooth creamy fullish body. Dry and spicy, maltiness ranges from dark chocolate to toasted bread to light molasses. Oaky, pulls the dryness in. Citric peel, wild herbs and vanilla show a grounded complexity. Big chocolatey finish.
One of my favorites of this series, a year of cellaring did no harm either.

Bottle pours a deep dark brown body that is opaque in the glass. Medium tan head leaves island chain lacing.
Interesting and complex aroma. Chocolate, roasted coffee, dark fruits, ripe bananas, and some charred wood.
Medium body has a solid smooth carbonation.
Taste has a roasted coffee bitterness, dark chocolate, malty nuttiness,smoke, Belgian yeast, a hint of licorice, ripe bananas,a hint of vanilla, and some citrusy hops. Alcohol is hidden very well. I don't pick up the tangerine peel.
Very nicely done. Certainly one of the better VE's in my book. Tasty and complex.

A welcome new beer each year, ah yes, its time for the new Stone vertical epic! Pours quite stout like, dark khaki head, great retention, tiny bubble and loads of sheeting, lace and a thick collar, great looking product. Dark malts, chocolate, and a hint of vanilla in the nose. Super smooth chocolaty brew, more dark malts, vanilla, coffee grounds. Dark and tasty. Complexity perhaps a bit on the lower then expected side. Still delicious and worth a try for all dark beer and Stone lovers. Wish I had the self control to age these babies, but it never seems to be in the cards...oh well enjoy this one now or later....

Since we just got Stone into the state of Maine last year (Fall 2008), this was the first time I had an opportunity to try this yearly Stone series of beer...
Appearance - The look of this beer was quite inviting, with dark coloration. It looks thick and appears heavier (stout or Porter) than it actually tastes. A great tan head appears.
Aroma - I smell some hazelnut, cloves, and a hint of smoke. There was a note of something sweet, maybe I was picking up on the chocolate malts.
Taste - Layered with a variety of flavors for your taste buds to enjoy! I first caught the chocolate, then followed with some spicier hints of citrus. The Complexity is outstanding, and I wasn't disappointed.
Mouthfeel - As I said in the appearance, it is a bit deceiving when poured into a glass so I was expecting a dark, heavy beer that your needed a fork/knife to enjoy. This wasn't the case (for me), although the alcohol was somewhat noticeable for me.
Drinkability - I liked it a lot and have enjoyed several, either on its own and with a meal (great to wash down that Thanksgiving turkey).

22oz bomber poured into an oversized wine glass. bought one bomber for drinking now and one for aging along with my epic from last year. beer at cellar temp.
pours pretty much opaque black, very similar to a imperial stout, with a deep mocha colored head. a good 3 fingers of head or so that fades to a fairly nice foamy layer. pretty good lace and some nice head retention. doesnt look like your usual belgian dark, but looks delicious non the less.
some cocoa and dark chocolate, some roasted malt. a little bit of flouride from the belgian yeast, maybe a touch of bubblegum. the citrus orange peel comes through nicely. a touch of dark fruit. a little alcohol noticable as well, but nothing offensive.
ahhh that taste is soo much more than the aroma would have suggested. tons of chocolate in the taste. everything from dark dark chocolate, cocoa or cooking chocolate to even milk chocolate. a nice dose of roasted malt and coffee. tastes of vanilla. hints of citrus orange peel. subtle a very very mild flavor of a spicy belgian yeast. hints of dark fruit. also has a tiny bit of a hoppyness to it.finishs with bitter roast and dark chocolate. this beer more reminds me of a baltic porter than a belgian dark.
medium bodied. good carb. has kind of a chalky finish. overall a nice pleasing mourthfeel.
one bomber is enough. lays a touch heavy in your stomach, but still is fairly easy drinking. no real tastes of alcohol which helps.
this is an interesting beer, definatly worth checking out. not really blowing me away, but still pretty good. and if you are going to buy this, buy 2 bottles one to drink now and take notes and one to age. after all, the whole point of this beer is to be aged.

Pour is very dark brown, nearly black. No light penetrates through the glass. Head is 1.5 inches thick, espresso colored, small, tiny bubbles, dissipates to a half inch head that sticks around. Sticky lacing rings the glass with every sip. A beautiful beer.
Strong smells of chocolate, coffee, cherries, vanilla, banana, and black licorice. Decidedly sweet and Belgian. I've never smelt a beer like this!
Taste is of roasted coffee beans, fresh espresso, and dark chocolate. Alcohol is hidden very well. I've had this beer before and remember tasting some banana, but I don't this time.
Body is medium to heavy in the mouth; this is a filling beer! 22oz. is more than enough for me.
An expertly crafted and incredibly complex brew released by Stone. Few beers can pack this many different smells and tastes in to a glass and still remain drinkable and enjoyable.

Dark brown with a head of soapy bubbles that rises up and settles out quickly.
Aroma of cocoa and phenols and banana and clove and fig.
Flavors of cocoa, espresso and cigar leaf. Some cherry tang, smokey charred bark and leather. Yeast funk is subtle in the background, bitter chocolate emerges, finishes a little spicy. Orange peel emerges as it warms.
Mouthfeel is a llittle slick, moderate carbonation, finishes with some tannins.
Perhaps one of my favorite of the VE series. And the best part was that it was bought off a CT store shelf.

Poured out of tap into a chalice complete black with a thick tan head. Great lacing all the way down. Smelled of raisins. The taste didn't have much up front, no hops that I could tell what so ever. However the taste moved into a black liqourish taste with hints of chocolate and raisins. There was a great deal of malted sweetness to the mouthfeel with very little noticable carbonation.

It took me a couple months to track this one down, I really wasn't hunting it down like years past. The series lost it's appeal for me after I drank my cellar empty of the 03,04, 05, and 06 I was holding onto after I graduated nursing school. Regardless I have to try these brews fresh in case it's something that I think should be tucked away. I had good results with my last four VEs that I cellared for some time.
My birthday month, this one appears pitch black with absolutely no ruby highlights when held toward a bright light, large mocha tan head forms after a vigorous pour into my Gulden Draak chalice, dwindles slow leaves big chunky layers of lace sporadically clinging to the sides of the glass.
Nice glowing citrus peels with roasted dark malts bring some recently tasted Swiss truffles with citrus peels to mind. A mild mineral metallic character with more roasted malt and lively fruit notes, a definite creamy mingling of dark chocolate with a touch of roasted coffee, charred oak, and soothing vanilla. A leafy herbal mint quality sticks out as well in the aromatics.
Flavor dark black patent malt has some acrid sharp tanginess to it with the citrus peels intermingling quite nicely with that dark chocolate and creamy effervescence. A Belgian approach, that may be the most believable effort from Stone yet, since the hops actually are chilled out here. Those oak barrel effects are minimal with traces of vanilla and charred oak, in addition to that actual vanilla beans that have been tossed in to the mix. A nice sugary sweetness is carried along throughout the charred dark malt and tangerine peel bitterness to end in a creamy blend of vanilla and oak characteristics, with a fresh blast of herbal mint from the hop additions here.
Mouthfeel overall is creamy slightly effervescent with a medium to fuller bodied approach. Really nice feeling overall besides that touch of acidic twang I spoke about with the harsh dark malt bitterness. The finish does strike some notes of charred oak and herbal mint that seem like they are going to show up like hop burps.
Drinkability is quality share with friends complexity and cohesion make for a good time, you can have loads of different flavors that may not work well together. This vertical epic ale decided to make familiar flavors glide together and intermingle off one another to provided the type of complexity that will lead to emptied glasses rather than drain pours like their 13th Anniversary release. I enjoyed the citrus and dark chocolate with a vanilla slightly charred oak finish.

First review in a while. Probably the only Vertical Epic I'm going to pop tonight, but the one I'm most looking forward to.
Into my GBS glass, pours pitch black with an espresso colored head. Appears fairly viscous...heavy. Minor lacing and some head retention.
Real nice aromas off this one. Yeasty...light fruit dipped in dark chocolate and blended with vanilla. Some toffee/caramel undertones as well. Honestly it almost smells like a fresh banana split, super sweet and mellowed out from the cellar.
Damn delicious, possessing layers and layers of flavor. Chocolate and orange peel dominate with a Belgian yeast character meshing them together. There's some oak and vanilla creeping in the background. Really really well blended.
Relatively thick, almost a dessert beer honestly. Alcohol is not detectable in the slightest. Time did wonders for this guy.
Wish I could get more of this...damn awesome. Hope the '10-'12 I have are just as good.

The Ford School mourns Mrs. Betty Ford (1918 - 2011)
Friday, July 8, 2011
The Ford School community is deeply saddened by the loss of our good friend, Mrs. Betty Ford, who passed away today at the age of 93.
Mrs. Ford's life was marked by an unwavering commitment to her family and to a number of political and cultural issues, including addiction treatment, breast cancer awareness, feminism, and more.
"Betty Ford was a gracious and generous friend of the University, as well as a warm personal friend," said University of Michigan President Mary Sue Coleman. "She was a wonderful partner with her husband, the late President Gerald R. Ford, and together with their children they were steadfast supporters of Michigan. We will miss her dedication and enthusiasm, and will remember the affection she showed our community."
Mrs. Ford visited her husband's namesake school a number of times over the years, and each visit left a deep impression on the students, faculty, and staff with whom she met.
"It was an honor and a pleasure to meet someone whose strength and grace have been such a positive role-model, especially for women in this country and around the world," said Dean Susan M. Collins. "She made important contributions in her own right and her work will have a lasting positive impact."
Ford School Tribute to Betty Ford
The Ford School has prepared a tribute to Mrs. Ford outside of the Betty Ford Classroom (Room 1110) in Weill Hall; we welcome you to visit the tribute through this Friday, July 15 from 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
A portrait of Mrs. Ford is on display next to an arrangement of peach-colored roses–her favorite flowers. We invite you to visit the Betty Ford Classroom where there are several beautiful pictures of Mrs. Ford on display. A guest book is also available for members of our community to reflect and share their memories with the Ford family.
We understand many Ford School community members are not in Ann Arbor during the summer months. We created a form on our website to extend this opportunity for you to share a message with the Ford family. We will compile all of the messages shared on this site in a memory book to be given to the Ford family. (Members outside of the immediate Ford School community are encouraged to share their condolences through the official Betty Ford Memorial website, www.BettyFordMemorial.com).

Pours an almost opaque super dark crimson-brown with a foamy khaki head that settles to a partial film on top of the beer. Foamy swaths of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of dark roasted malt, cocoa, and slight vanilla aromas. Taste is much the same with cocoa and char flavors on the finish. There is a medium amount of roast bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp and medium bodied mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty good beer with a nice combination of cocoa and char qualities.

Clear very dark brown colored beer with a medium sized brown colored head. Unusually dak for a porter I can't really see light through this one.
Smells strongly of charred grain. Chocolate scent with with some smoke and wheat toast aromas. Slight scent of caramel.
Starts out mildly sweet with a taste of patent malt, slight coffee after taste. Gets sweeter as you drink it there is a strong chocolate taste. Overall this is mainly just mild and easy to drink.
Mouthfeel is good.
Overall this is just a nice regular Porter. Most brewers have a similar beer. It is just meant to be easy to drink and well liked by most. But this doesn't try to be World Class.

Bomber picked up in Michigan and wish we'd gotten more, as this is a very easy drinking beer. Pours a dark chocolate colour with nice ruby tones and a respectable head, with lacing. Aroma of roasted dark and chocolate malts has a nicely sharp edge to it, portending the coffee and light hop bitterness of the finish. Mouthfeel is thin but clean and appropriate for the style. Flavour does not have the initial sweetness I expected and offers a nice malt body, with a hint of caramelization under the roasted chocolate notes. Enough astringency to be interesting, but still a pleasure to drink. Will buy again...

A - dark brownish black with a huge, brownish head that is dense and foamy with great retention
S - milky, creamy, bready
T - faint roasted malts, some faint chocolate, some mildly bitter hops in the finish
M - thin, light to medium bodied, lightly but well carbonated
This is an easy drinking porter with light flavor and thin mouthfeel. Ultimately, this is disappointing. I wish this was a bit more full-flavored and had a thicker mouthfeel. As it stands, this is a beer that I will ignore in the future.

A good malty porter with a slight touch of hops. Hints of chocolate and coffee. Very similar to Samuel Smith's Taddy Porter. Very drinkable and smooth. Purchased in a 22 oz bottle and poured into a generic pint glass. Purchased at the Utah State Liquor Store for around $3.00 and some change. A fine example of Epic's craft.

Picked up on a nice clearance rack. Happy to give it a shot. 22 oz. bomber split with my wife.
Pour is black & moderately foamy. Nose is rich, lovely chocolate & a dose of roast. Nothing wild but damn appealing.
Galloway Porter peaks with the nose & falls off quickly. Chocolate remains the dominant actor, & there's roast, but the hop strike really clashes with the roast. The hops are earthy, almost herbal, & I never drink tea with my Giradelli. Because that's weird. And then there's a lactose shot that adds to the confusion.
This is a beer that's having an identity crisis, & I'm not shrink. It's a mish-mash of different things that taste good apart, but the combo is off-putting. Decent enough, but based on the nose, this could have been a contenda.

poured from a 22 oz bottle into a nonic pint glass.
Pours very dark brown, almost black with deep burgundy around the edges
Nice two finger beige head that takes its time dissapating leaving decent lacing on the way down. - Noticed sediment in beer after pouring remainder of bottle
Roasted malts, coffee, and dark chocolate. There's also an ever so slight unpleasant smell in there that I can't quite put my finger on.
Sweet dark fruits up front followed by some chocolate and more fruit. Simple but pleasing.
Medium heavy mouthfeel with light carbonation. Just about right for my tastes.
This is a pretty good porter. Pretty simple, drinkable and tasty. Reminds me of some English porters.Epic did a good job on this one I will definately drink this one again.

Beer #67 in my great Utah Brew Hunt.
Interesting robust porter. Quite hearty smoky tones to it. At least more than I was expecting. Nice consistent flavor profile. Consistent (I am tired of this word...someone please find me a new one) flavor profile and a nice even body
Note: I had this beer after it sat out for quite some time. I believe the temperature of it has made all the difference.

Pours black with a big tan head. Average retention with good lacing.
Very roasty and chocolately aroma with a little earthy bitterness in the aroma. Nothing really stands out here.
Loads of chocolate and roast in the flavor profile. Seems a bit overattenuated as it finishes supremely dry, but the flavors are there.
Lighter bodied with slightly above medium carbonation. Still managed to be somewhat creamy despite the slightly lighter body.
Above average, but many betters exist. I like some of the flavors, but it's a bit too dry to drink much of and no flavors are really exceptional.

The Los Angeles Lakers have taken a 2-0 series lead against the Denver Nuggets in this opening round of the 2012 NBA Playoffs following Tuesday's 104-100 victory. Los Angeles held off a late Denver rally and, as the series shifts to Denver, are now halfway to advancing to the second round.
Kobe Bryant and Andrew Bynum once again led the way for the Lakers. Bryant sank shot after shot -- 15-of-29 from the field, 6-of-7 from the line -- for a game-high 38 points. Bynum followed up his triple-double from Game 1 with 27 points, nine rebounds and two blocks. Pau Gasol added a double-double of 13 points and 10 rebounds.
The Nuggets came close to a comeback late in the final quarter, but they couldn't quite make it over that hump. They have yet to lead in either game this series. Ty Lawson led the way for the Nuggets with 25 points on 11-of-17 shooting and dished out the ball for seven assists. Rookie Kenneth Faried finished the game with 14 points and 10 rebounds.
The two teams will travel to Denver for a Friday game at the Pepsi Center. The teams split the two-game series there during the regular season

A serious mistake on an East Texas construction project means several more months of traffic delays.
Construction on The Loop project in Mount Pleasant started in 2012.
The first segment is finished. Segments two and three are well on their way to being complete, but a recent discovery shows someone miscalculated the height requirement on one of the project's overpasses.
The mistake could cost Titus County nearly $2 million.
"It was a project with the state. If the county would build it they would reimburse us over a period of time," says Al Riddle, Titus County Commissioner, Pct. 1.
Mount Pleasant residents say, until the project is finished, drivers and business owners in the area will suffer.
"The road was supposed to be up and running for the businesses by December and now they're saying it's going to be August. That would be devastating to the local businesses if they can't open up down in that section," says Keith Kridler, a contractor in Titus County.
Riddler says the delay is due to a small miscalculation with major consequences, "The steel beams over the track are not high enough. 15 inches I think they've got to raise it."
The property the bridge sits on belongs to the railroad company.
"The property line goes up, I guess to heaven, I don't know how far it goes up, if you cross that property line you need a permit," Riddle says.
A permit was issued. The problem is, that permit requires the overpass to be 15 inches higher and the price tag to fix it is hard for people to swallow.
"My first reaction was when they told us it was going to cost $1.8 million to get it raised up," says Riddle.
The county is paying for the fix so the project can be finished, otherwise the state wont start reimbursing them.
"I'm sure with $1.8 million, someone will hire a lawyer. It will get ugly before it gets better," Kridler says.
County Judge Brian Lee says the issue is bigger than people realize, "A lot of the opinions here in town are based on misinformation, a desire to point the finger at somebody who is at fault and it's really not as simple as it might seem."
He is confident when the project is finished no one will complain about this 15-inch problem.
One side of the bridge is going to be torn down and raised so the beams above the railroad track become at least 15 inches higher.
Officials expect the mistake to set workers back around five months. They want to have the project finished by next Fall.
