In a snifter this beer was a hazy cherry amber color with a medium-sized tan head. There was a fair amount of lace.
Great aroma: pine, really vibrant citrus, and sweet malt. I wanted to keep on sniffing this beer.
The taste was quite good, just not as good as the aroma had promised. Sweet biscuity malt, piney hops. Some grapefruit and tangerine.
Plenty hoppy, with a lingering bitterness.
One of the better offerings from Clown Shoes.

22 oz bottle. Pours slightly hazy golden copper with a big rocky white head that retains well and laces the glass.
The aroma is sweet sugary melon and dank piney peppery hops.
The flavor is is a let down - earthy grassy bitterness, a little sugary fruit, and some cardboard notes. The mouthfeel is light bodied and very watery.
Overall, I was excited after pouring, but the flavors are not bright and a bit off and it's really watery.

Growler filled at DeCicco's in Ardsley, NY.
Pours a nice warm shade of medium amber, lightly clouded, under a long lasting and near creamy lite tan head, that leaves a thicker film and all sorts of ringed sheeting and bits and blobs of thick stick.
I get some bready malts and mild hops on the nose. Smells like a milder British style IPA.
British theme continues for me onto the palate, hops are present but not crunchingly "in your face", depends who you talk to but this is not neccesarily a good thing...notes of toffee, whole wheat toast, a hint of alcohol/gin/lime.
Easy drinking and somewhat on the tame side flavorwise. However, I found this offering to be quite enjoyable and to go well with a garlicky BBQed pork tenderloin and a salad.
More better then respectable beer from Clown shoes.

Thanks to thirdeye11 for sharing this bottle.
The beer pours a slightly hazy orange color with a large white head. The aroma has an interesting mix of malt and hops. I get some nice orange and grapefruit notes, as well as some other tropical and citrus notes. There is also a nice sweet biscuit malt character to the aroma.
The flavor is more of the same. I get some bitter grapefruit and pineapple notes, as well as some biscuit and toffee from the malt. The sweetness and the fruit notes go very well with the bitterness.
Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

Clear apricot colroed with a thick beige head of foam that lingers long and slowly recedes. Low aroma of citrus hops, some lightly toasted malt. Fresh hoppy flavors full of tangerine and grapefruit rind, some piney notes. Good honied malt backbone, but the hops really shine through on this one. Dry mouthfeel, a bit puckery in the cheeks from the hop bitters, but full. Very enjoyable beer overall.

Nice appearance, yellow/gold/copper/light orange amalgamation, small 1/2" head on the top. Aroma lacked hoppiness. That's what we're here for right? Just like cereal grain and that was about it.
Taste, wow, stale, lacking hop flavor. How old is this? Who knows, Clown Shoes doesn't want you to know. Bought the same day I bought a six pack of Lakefront IPA (Milwaukee) from total wine, so if they can get 2000 mile away ipa to me that is fresh, I guess they can do 3000? Apparently not. Utterly devoid of hop flavor. Just some chunky bitterness and cereal grain flavor. No pine, citrus or whatnot, just bleh. Some caramel.
I won't pay for it again until they have bottle dating. I've liked most of their beers, but this was one of those bottom 20% of all ipa territory.

Bomber served chilled into a shaped Sam Adams glass.
Supa Hero is a hazy yellow orange color with thick white head. It's tight and sticky leaving some nice lacing behind.
Aroma is super hoppy and fresh with great citrusy hops. Accurately described as dank on the label.
Flavor has lots of great hop flavor. Surprisingly not that bitter but full of fresh hops and a lemony citrus character.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied and nicely carbonated. Very well balanced for a double IPA.
Overall a pleasant surprise. This one tastes better than the reviews had me expecting.

Medium yellow coloured body, leaving lace. Fresh from Rhode Island, thanks Americo for bringing back. Lemon bitterness. Long bitter finish. The malting could have been more complementary. Boozy and more of a hop deliver system. Drinkable, but not great for the style.

S- The aroma is malt and fresh citrusy and fruity hops.
T- The taste like the aroma is sweet malt and a lot of lingering bitterness from the hops in the finish.
M- The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with a good amount of carbonation.

Pours a toasted golden color, close to amber. The head is short and dense and settles into a sparse cap.
The aroma is of fragrant hops, though not very strong. The hop aroma is floral and grassy. This mixes with a powdery yeast, kind of musty. Meh.
The taste is a mix of tropical fruit and floral hops with a bit of a piney bite in the end. The malt is bready and neutral. The yeast is powdery and gives that homebrew sort of taste. A small hint of a lemony brightness.
Moderate to full body with soft carbonation. Mild sweetness with a piney bitterness and finishes with some asprine notes.
A rather disappointing DIPA. It is hoppy bitter but no nice hoppy flavors. The powdery yeast doesn't help.

Nice clear dark copper with an off white head and of course nice lacing. Little carbonation evident. Smell is rich with caramel malt and pine. A fruit melange has tropical notes as well as alcohol and medicine. Taste is sweet with caramel and burnt brown bread as well a wisp of Irish coffee. Medicinal facets show for a moment as it moves to grapefruit in the firmly hopped finish. Hop oil lingers and coats the sides of my mouth and a light biscuit malt flavor. Feel is slightly slippery and on the lighter side of thick with a nice amount of carbonation to break it up. A good solid offering.

Poured worthily into a Duvel glass an orange amber with a thick white froth appearing and clinging nicely as a sip smelling of glorious flowery pine, dank indeed, bursts into bitter pine in the front of the mouth before cascading oily bubbles across just enough malt to save the day, without much ABV burn, from what is otherwise a seriously bitter villain lacking a bit of nuance.
As far as an IIPA goes - it doesn't fit my bill. It's seriously a bitter exercise but it still made for an enjoyable beverage.

Bottled December 2011
Ruby tinged, orange tinged, amber. Big tan head. Great lacing along the sides of the glass. looks awesome!
This beers smells intensly of citrus and pine as well as an almond like malt aroma. A little alcohol.
The taste is absolutely terrific. A massive blast of bitter piney hops hit you at first, then pink grapefruit and apricot comes out more and more as the beer warms. Palate wrecking but delicious!
I loved Supa Hero!!

Cricket Web's 2013/14 Premier League Tipping Champion
- As featured in The Independent.
"The committee discussed the issue of illegal bowling actions, and believed that there are a number of bowlers currently employing suspect actions in international cricket, and that the ICC's reporting and testing procedures are not adequately scrutinising these bowlers."
- Even the ICC's own official press release thinks things must change

went to watch Salford - St Helens tonight, St Helens were lucky that Salford didn't have mch of a clue going forward. Lyon was anonymous.
First Helens try looked dodgy aswell, but the knock on decision before the second salford try looked wrong aswell.
The most annoying thing about the Super League is that there is such a huge gap between the rich and the poor. Bradford v Leeds over Easter was probably the best match I have seen this year in either this or the NRL though...
It is closing up I think, thanks mainly to the salary cap. Just ask Wigan...Originally Posted by Blaze
It the bad old days Wigan basically bankrupted themselves to buy success. IIRC Central Park is now a Tesco, sold off to pay the debts.
Lyon didn't see enough of the ball. Infact, I can't remember anyone passing to him. Defended decently, though.Originally Posted by superkingdave
Salford have been excellent this season. Deserved to win that game, really. Put in a huge effort.
maybe my comments were a bit harsh about Salford not having a clue going forward, but if they had someone to do something a bit special last night they would have won. They'll certainly defeat the lesser teams pretty comfortably all season if they play like thatOriginally Posted by steds

Google Wants You To "Save To Drive"
Google has launched a new Chrome extension for saving files to Google Drive, appropriately calledSave to Drive.
Once installed, it places a Drive icon in the upper right-hand corner of your browser, and whenever you're viewing a file, you can simply click it to save it to Drive. It also adds such an option to the right click menu.
It works with images, images of entire pages, HTML source code and web archives (.mht).
"After you save using the extension, you'll see options to immediately open the file in Drive, rename it, or view it in your Drive list, where you can do things like add it to a folder or share it with others," saysproduct manager Josh Hudgins.
"There are also a few new ways to work with images you're already storing in Drive," he adds. "You can now zoom by scrolling or using the new 'fit to page' and 100% buttons. And if you have something to say about a specific part of an image, you can select a region and add a comment to it."
Google clearly wants to push people more and more into the cloud (specifically, Google's cloud), and more Drive integration into its other products is a good way to do this. They also recently launched some much needed Drive integration for Gmail.
The addition of Drive search results to Google search has proven extremely helpful in my experience. I think once this leaves the limited phase, people are going to love the feature.

A Michigan state trooper was involved in a shooting.
It happened late Friday night on Alma Street in Flint.
Witnesses say the trooper pulled a car over and then the traffic stop took a turn for the worse.
"He took the passenger out and was checking the passenger. Then he checked the driver, as he was going to the passenger side the driver got in the car and took off. The next thing you know, you heard shots," said Keith Hutchinson.
Witnesses claim the trooper grabbed onto the car and was dragged almost a block before the driver crashed into a tree.
The trooper was reportedly thrown from the vehicle.
Police say the driver got out of the car and walked toward the trooper and shots were fired.
"It was so many police down here on Fulton they had it roped off everywhere," said Barbara Savage.
She lives in the area.
She can't believe this sort of violence happened in her neighborhood.
"They knocked on the door and asked me if they could check my house out for bullet holes. I'm glad I wasn't at home at the time," she explained.
Neighbors are cleaning up debris left behind from the ordeal.

A local teen's obsession with Super Mario Brothers has landed him in some hot water at Rowe Middle School.
Hunter Hall, 13, says he was threatened with suspension after he wore a shirt with the message "will play for mushrooms" on it Wednesday.
Poll: What do you think?
"I'm just a little sad," said Hunter. "It was my favorite shirt."
The official policy at Rowe Middle School is that students are not allowed to wear shirts that promote illegal activity.
"An example of a shirt promoting illegal activity is a student wearing a shirt with a beer can on it, or a marijuana leaf," said Rowe Middle School Principal Larry Becker. "If shirts are questionable though, it becomes up for discussion."
Hall, an avid gamer, says he's worn his favorite Mario shirt for years and when he looks at it he thinks nothing about drugs. He claims before this incident he didn't even know what illegal mushrooms are.
"When I look of this shirt, I think of little happy mushrooms that Mario eats to become stronger," said Hall.
Hunter says he was completely surprised Wednesday when two counselors at Rowe Middle School approached him in-between class to say his shirt was inappropriate. That's when he says they asked him to cover it up, or take it off.
"They were threatening me with suspension and detention if I kept wearing the shirt," said Hall. "My first reaction is sadness because I want to be a straight A student."
The North Clackamas School District says no one ever told Hall to change his shirt and he was never threatened with discipline. Staff members say they simply told Hall it was against school policy to wear clothing that endorses illegal activity.
"It's frustrating that the school is concentrating on a policy like this," said Hunter's father Joe Hall. "It's a shirt that has nothing to do with drugs or violence."
Hunter says he plans to retire his favorite shirt for now. The school would not comment as to if or when he would be allowed to wear it again.

1. Pan-Fried Salmon with Tangy Thai Sauce
This salmon recipe is melt-in-your-mouth delicious! Fillets of marinated salmon are pan-fried or grilled / barbecued, searing in the flavors and omega-3 goodness of the fish. The salmon is then served with a tangy Thai lemongrass-honey sauce that marries perfectly with salmon's natural flavors. A healthy, delicious, and easy recipe that can be made in under 30 minutes. Great for an everyday dinner entree that even your kids will love.
2. Special Thai Orange Fish Soup
This beautiful soup is similar to hot & sour soup, but better! In Thai, it's known as "Geng Som Pla" - which actually means Orange Fish Curry" - an ancient recipe from the Central Plains region of Thailand. It is a fiery-hot soup with both sour and sweet overtones that make for a lively combination, especially when paired with your choice of fish and/or seafood.
3. Fillet of Fish Baked in Banana Leaf (or Foil/Parchment Paper)
You'll love this tender and wonderful-tasting Thai-style baked fish! Slathered in a fragrant basil curry sauce, the fish is then wrapped in banana leaves (or tin foil/parchment paper) and baked in the oven. Coconut rice makes an excellent optional accompaniment (recipe included), or serve with regular rice or potatoes. Nearly any type of fish will work in this recipe, including salmon, red snapper, cod, sole, etc...) An easy and healthy fish recipe that's also fun to make, and the taste is truly gourmet. Enjoy!
4. Easy Fish Curry
This fish curry tastes so delectable, you won't believe how fast and easy it is - ready in just 20 minutes! Fillets of fish (any type, fresh or frozen) are simmered in a rich Thai curry sauce. Includes vegetables for a healthy one-pot dish. Like all curries, this fish curry makes excellent leftovers as well as hot lunches to take to work. A nice dish any time of year, but particularly warming during cool weather. And it's ready in just 20 minutes!
5. Thai Fish Cakes (Easy!)
6. Classic Thai Fish Cakes
7. Whole Fish with Garlic-Chili Sauce (Grilled or Baked)
While fresh whole fish is usually grilled outdoors in Thailand, here in North America we often have to come up with alternate cooking methods owing to weather conditions. To accommodate both indoor and outdoor methods, here's a fish recipe that can either be baked/broiled indoors, OR barbecued outside. Either way, this fish is spectacular looking AND tasting! A variety of fish can be used in this recipe, including red snapper, gray mullet, rainbow trout, or tilapia. If you prefer a more authentic approach, bake your fish in banana leaves instead of tin foil. ENJOY!
8. Thai Coconut Fish (Pan-Fried)
9. Classic Thai Whole Fish, Grilled or Fried
This excellent recipe for whole fish can either be fried or grilled (the one pictured here was fried). In Thailand, small whole fish are used for this dish, so I usually use either a few rainbow trout (one per person), or whole snapper - in both cases, the taste is just as I remember it from the beaches of Thailand. Simply marinate the fish in fish sauce, then fry or grill it (instructions for both methods included). Pour a special Thai sauce overtop, and serve - Mmmmm...!!
10. Easy Baked Salmon with Black Bean Sauce
This Chinese-inspired baked salmon is gourmet-delicious, yet extremely easy to make. You'll love how the rich-tasting black bean sauce enhances the exquisite flavor of the salmon. This baked fish recipe also works with other types of fish, such as cod, sole, snapper, or halibut - all healthy and safe seafood choices (either fresh or frozen). This easy baked fish is superb for everyday meals, but also wonderful enough to serve to a taste-discerning crowd. ENJOY!

There was a problem with sickness on board and if you contracted this you were confined to your quarters. There ware plenty of sanitisers around the ship to be used. It would help if people took notice of these. You are encouraged to wash your hands all the time but some people have a problem doing this, I even saw 2 women take their drinks in to the toilets with them!
The entertainment was excellent, Ross and the team work really hard to put on wonderful shows. The British guest acts that were on board as well were first class.
This was our first cruise and I don't think that it will be our last. If you are looking for a glamorous cruise maybe this isn't for you, but is you want a cruise that is value for money then try it, you might be as pleasantly surprised as us!

howdy from california
though growing up on a small family orchard i'm a city boy, loved these little tractors all my life and vowed to find one to bring back to life. serendiptiously a '51 hi-crop came up on the local craig's at the exact same hour and the exact same price as a concours honda ct90 i restored sold. that's a sign if i ever saw one. not to mention coming out way ahead weight wise.
the cub runs but it needs some tlc. being a california cub its probably in better shape than most, but even so the short while i've had it i've learned all about the rust mushrooms that 60 year old nuts and bolts become. my manuals came today so i can start on the basics... gaskets, fluids and see where i'm at with all the mechanicals before i tear down for any major repairs and final finishes.
i do have one question and that's the shape of the unobtanium new seat support tube (part # 351 883 R11). pix attached of mine...is that the shape they are supposed to be? i couldn't find any close-ups in the photo sections.
anyway, thanks for letting me in here. this is a fabulous resource with, from lurking the last couple weeks, some great people participating. almost every single question that has cropped up i've found myriad answers to with a couple clicks of the mouse. it's amazing how much information is archived here, the wisdom and knowledge amassed is incredible. and the site sponsors have been wonderful, shipping on time and honest to a fault.

Re: howdy from california
Welcome, like Bill said your seat post is fine and not rusted out as they usually are. There's a tool box that fits in the front covering the mounting section. Water usually lays in there and causes problems down the road.

Re: howdy from california
Welcome. Those shiny bolts holding your seat down are not normal. I say that because most are severely rusted in place and present a major challenge to remove. These new bolts are a good sign that maybe the previous owner has already done some restoration work. Note that the seat bracket has an extra hole which allows you to move the bracket back if you would like more room on the operator platform.

Re: howdy from california
thanks for the welcome all...so technically it's called a "hi-clear"? i like that other designation..."crop-vision"...sounds so visionary . everything about these little tractors is fascinating. as a designer, it was cool to learn the letter series including the cub were designed by the most famous designer of all: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raymond_Loewy
@ robert
the new bolts are mine...the rust mushrooms those replaced are what i had the joy of removing. and those hourglass bends in the gussets are normal?
the toolbox when and if i find one will indeed cover it up, i was just curious.
one last newbie question and i'll slide back into lurk mode: where do you folks go for basic parts...oil filters, gaskets, seals, belts, carb rebuild kit, etc....tm?
I've fixed electrical problems with a hammer
Re: howdy from california
Yes, TM is a good source for about anything. You can also ask and we'll help you find things through your local parts store, such as seals, bearings, filters and such.
Ralph's web site on the home page is a good place to find your tool box.

Re: howdy from california
Nope the bracket is not supposed to be distorted quite like that. There is a bit of a bend in the side walls of the bracket though.
This is what the bracket normally looks like. Remember these are usually between 50 and 60 years old.. sooooo there is bound to be some distortion.

Re: howdy from california
Welcome to the forum. Don't go back to lurking, please. Your tractor looks to be a High-Wide, a special iteration of the Cub.
For basic parts like oil filters and oil, I usually start with Autozone, then check with Napa. They both have OEM parts cross references. If you need a carb kit, definitely go to TM - cheap aftermarket carb kits don't work. Also, if you are going to do a tune-up, the TM "kit" is about the same price as an new cap from Napa.

The smaller front bolt in your seat post is in a hole originally intended for the bolt mounting the tool box. That bolt, as best I remember is 3/8-24, NF thread. Those original threads in that hole may be ruined.

Crews rushed to put out a mobile home fire in northern Smith County Tuesday night. Firefighters say received a call just before 6:30 p.m. from someone who spotted flames coming out of a window at a mobile home on Highway 69 north of Loop 323, outside of Tyler. Firefighters say the fire looks to have started in a side bedroom. No one was inside the home at the time of the fire, and the cause is still under investigation.

how can I set Flight Mode on Harmattan? There is a function that can do that:
bool MeeGo::QmDeviceMode::setMode ( DeviceMode mode )
Unfortunately it seems to require mce:eviceModeControl credential, which is not available to third parties according to this page:
Is there any way to implement this functionality? It has been requested by many users to my application ProfileMatic. The same thing applies on setting Power Saving Mode, this too has been requested.
Both are features I very well understand why people would want automatically managed by ProfileMatic. Which makes this situation frustrating.

Two large meth trafficking operations apparently feeding the meth demand in Evansville with a very potent kind of meth are dismantled and 12 people are arrested, all but one from Vanderburgh or Posey County.
According to federal documents, the drug trafficking allegedly involved the use of local drug couriers who would transport large quantities of meth from Arizona and California to the Evansville area using personal and rental vehicles.
In one case federal agents intercepted phone calls and text messages where the suspects used code language to discuss drug trafficking.
Law enforcement followed one suspect who they said rented a car from the Evansville Airport driving it to California where another defendant picked up the vehicle and replaced money hidden in the truck with 26 pounds of meth.
U.S. Attorney Joseph Hogsett says it was obvious the amount of meth was coming from outside the Tri-State area.
"26 pounds can not be produced locally, it has to come from somewhere else and that is where federal law enforcement and federal prosecution, can play a very decisive role," said Hogsett.
All 12 defendants are in custody and could face ten years to life imprisonment if found guilty.

While drinking beer beyond its best by date is usually not a problem having a lager sit for a year and a half is pushing it. My can produced a half-inch head that stayed a long time. The beer was bright yellow with some flakes in it. Not good. But since a friend imported it to Amsterdam from New Zealand I just hated to throw it away so I drank it. Despite the foggy appearance it wasn't all that bad, really. But my ratings don't mean much...

Pours a pale golden color with a light whispy head,smell was slightly skunked (green bottle) and musty with some sharp hop bitternes coming thru.Taste was harsh and not very pleasant,it was albeit slightly skunked.Some light hoppy notes but nothing I would want to try again thats for sure.

Appearance Crystal clear yellow with some active carbonation and a really nice head that lasted a while and even left some cool lacing.
Smell Theres a touch of skunk in the aroma that is otherwise musty with a few delicate, grassy, hop notes.
Taste This one turned bad pretty quick. The skunked grain tasted almost putrid and the hops were completely gone. The absence of a sickening sweetness was the only thing that kept it out of the sink.
Mouthfeel I enjoyed the light carbonation, but this Pale Lager was not refreshing at all.
Drinkability When will I learn to stop buying Pale Lager in green bottles.

3.03/5 rDev +6.3%
Presentation: Big 25.4 oz green bottle with no freshness date.
Appearance: Crystal clear pale golden yellow with a thin wispy white lace that has trouble holding.
Smell: Grainy with a side of veggie hop in the nose, not much else other than that.
Taste: Moderate body with a full carbonation in the mouth. Maltiness is grainy with a touch of sweetness upfront that gives off hints of raw honey and bread. Sizable herbal / veggie hop brings a bitter bite that has no problem cutting through the malt. Mild hints of earth and a ghost like ginger flavour come from the hops also. Graininess lingers into the finish with a faint astringency.
Notes: Decent at best, better than an American Macro Lager but not much better. Could be confused with a macro German Lager with the name and the flavour. At $1.50 a pop I can't complain too much.

I guess this would be a Kiwi macro. Pours with nice head. Smell is weak hops. Very nice carbonation. Taste is very crisp, good and malty. If this is the Bud of New Zealand they have one on us Americans. This was actually quite a treat. Somewhat impressed. This is not as heavy as a lot of imports. Good beer to toss down. I will not buy this again, as the bottles are 11.2oz. What a rip off.

Smallish green bottle, no freshness notes, this one pours very light, very clear and very grassy/skunky in the nose. Snow white head, a few sips and its clear that this is the dreaded pissy yellow Euro macro pale lager piss water that most of us hate. No big suprise that most of this ended up down the drain instead of down the hatch. Spend your money on better beer then this...

When is comes to pale lagers, I like this one. Clear yellow with a bubbly white head. Bready, veggie, and slightly metallic aroma. Sharp bite that quickly goes sweet. Dry finish. Enjoyable and refreshing, and truly like no other pale lager I've had.

I simply don't "get" this beer.
It (apparently) wins awards, it is exported all over the world, and it sponsors big sporting events like yacht racing.
But it is swill. Pure, unadulterated swill. Do Steinlager sponsor the awards as well?
The best that can be said for it (in my oh so humble opinion) is that the bottle is moderately attractive. You can even buy really big bottles! But...
This beer is skunky of smell, thin of taste and is simply not very drinkable.
There is / are some citrus note(s) buried in the taste, but unless you are hypersensitive to citrus, you simply won't notice it. Taste is a nasty amalgam of ... well, I am not sure what. Hops? Yeast? Floor cleaner?
When poured (I keep wanting to type "poored"), it has a moderately thin head that dissipates quickly to a scummy layer on the straw yellow surface. You may notice that I scored appearance highest of the various characters for this beer.
IF you chill it right down, its drinkability goes up slightly, but honestly, it is just too much trouble.
It shouldn't ought to be like this...
Life is short. Drink something else.

Pours with a light golden color, minimal head and lacing. Smell is mildly hoppy. Taste is minimal,but with a cooked veggie overtone (DMSO, perhaps?), but nothing much else. Overall, a good average beer to drink with pretty much anything. This is a beer I could drink in quantity, as it pretty much improves with the number of drinks; not necessarily a good thing, but it WAS on sale...

Pours an extremely clear bright gold, almost shiny yellow, with lots of foamy white head. Looks almost like champagne, except with lots of head retention. Sweet smell at first, followed by a bland alcoholic quality. Taste was okay, for a pale lager. In my opinion, was quite refreshing. Would certainly reach for this over a Heine or Bud, but other than that, not much to write home about. Would make a great lawnmower beer. Crisp and refreshing.

A 330ml green glass bottle with a BB of July 2012. ABV stated as 4.8%.
Poured into a tulip pint glass. A clear pale- gold colour with good carbonation. Forms a nice head of fluffy white foam that lasts for a minute or two before subsiding. Very faint aroma; a hint of light malt, stewed hops and a stale background note.
Tastes of light, watery malt with a hint of stewed hop bitterness. Mild graininess. A harsh, solventy note upon swallowing. Mouthfeel is light and tingly, with mild astringency. Aftertaste of harsh stewed leaves and solvent.
Weak sauce - bland with unsavoury undertones. Watery and characterless. Avoid.

I'd never come across this beer on the East Coast but it is all over the Pacific Northwest. It's reasonably cheap considering it comes all the way from New Zealand. In fact I suspected it was one of those Guinness/Fosters deals where it was actually brewed in Canada -- but no, it seems to be the real deal, a Kiwi beer.
I have absolutely nothing against a good lager, but I do have something against green bottles. They just ruin beer. Which is a shame because this has a lot going for it, including a tantalizing, fresh-mown-hay malt quality and a light hop crispness. The clarity of the beer is remarkable, as is the fluid mouthfeel (although it lacks the cushiony element of the best German lagers). But everything -- the aroma, the flavor, the drinkability, the long aftertaste -- is tainted with green-bottle Eurostink. (Only this time it's not from Europe.) It's indelible. And I hate it. It's like looking at a magnificent work of art through tinted glasses (green, in this case).
I will be game to try this again when it arrives in more responsible packaging. In fact, you might even hear me recommending it.

2.53/5 rDev -11.2%
Pale and clear less-than-gold color, big frothy head with giant bubbles and not a lot of lasting power. Laces are minimal, some rings and marks on the glass. Mild aroma, some senses of honey and canvas. Mouthfeel is light, carbonation, more than average. Flavor has some of those canvas qualities, wet hay, a camping trip, but overall, quite a bit of sweetness in front, middle, and end. Slightly insipid and offputting as it winds down, like Cheerios cereal with lots of sweetener added in. In some ways, I don't actually think this beer is as well done as some tighter American Lagers, it could actaully use a sense of crispy fade to punctuate the ending a bit more.

3.58/5 rDev +25.6%
Appears a bright clear straw golden and it forms a nice large cloudy white head textured like a stay puff marshmellow forms a rising biscuit center with scattered lacing as it dwindles. Aroma contains nice grassy and toned down citrus notes from the hops and mild sweetness from lightly toased malts character adding another country to the list, I've had in the past and it sometimes takes awhile to revisit. However, with this one I have no idea why I'm guessing availability it was in every corner grocer in Cali while I just now ran into recently in Southeastern Ohio. Flavor is nice with a even bitterness with more of that grassy Euro esque hop character slight biscuit sweetness very easy going even flavor, but it's pretty flavorful especially for the style some may call this one another skunk but I'm a fan tasty brew very refreshing I drank a couple this past Father's day weekend outdoors in 90 degree weather and enjoyed it pretty thoroughly. Mouthfeel is light bodied not thin even carbonation doesn't bring about any unnecessary burps. Drinkability is good especially with some grillin' foods great tasty euro lager for me one of the better ones.

330ml bottle served in pint glass
just purchased but date on bottle seems to indicate it is past date of over 1 year! It's markedly skunky. I've had better samples of this unimpressive beer previously, so given the dating, I am a bit forgiving in my (still low) ratings.
A - nice clear golden color with off-white head of medium height and retention.
S - skunky
T - attempting to ignore the skunkiness, this beer is crisp and, for a lager, hoppy.

This beer pours a pale yellow color, with a thick and fluffy white head. the head fades slowly, leaving a pretty decent lacing.
This beer has a grainy aroma. Mixing in with that I can detect a slight boiled cabbage aroma. A very subtle floral hop aroma is present as well.
This beer pretty much tastes like it smells. Grains with some cabbage funk and a very slight floral hop flavor.
This beer is a little high in carbonation, but it goes decently for the style. It leaves grainy aftertaste.
This beer might make a decent session beer. It is not high in alcohol, and the flavor is not too bad.
Overall: Not the best beer. Not awful though. Today is over 100 degrees, and this beer hits the spot.

I need to know that you are not merely worried about this most tragic of worst case scenarios befalling my son; I need to know that you are out there changing the ethos that puts it in place. That you see this as something that unites us as mothers, friends and human beings.
Over the years, the startling consistency of the manner in which I am addressed while he is ignored has become a quasi joke between us.
No one who cares about the death of Michael Brown, or the scourge of police brutality, can ever choose not to vote, again. Period. Not only did people die so that you could vote, people die because you do not vote.
The central tenet of reproductive justice is that every woman has the right to have children, not have children, and to parent the children we have in safe and healthy environments.
Ferguson was not just an event in which police overreacted to heated demonstrations; it's a symptom of a generalized hatred of democracy in this country -- the hatred of the truly bold idea that politics should be the work of everyday people and that power should not be concentrated in the hands of a few.
I created these political cartoons to express my feelings about the current situation in Ferguson, MO. I am a native of St. Louis, by way of East St. Louis, Illinois, a community that mirrors Ferguson in it's racial and socio-economic climate.
I hope every Black leader, parent, grandparent and preacher will mount a united and irresistible voice to end the structural exclusion of millions of children from the education and other opportunities required to keep them from dead-end lives.
When my sons got their driver's licenses, I wasn't worried about the high cost of auto insurance or what car was best for them. I was terrified of what they would experience driving while black. It was time for "The Lesson" on how to survive when stopped by police.
In the past, if you needed a loan for your car, home improvements or to consolidate your credit cards, you would need to get dressed up and head down to the bank to beg for money. The Internet has made things a little easier.
The news accounts in recent weeks are tragically similar, from Los Angeles to Staten Island to Ferguson. Unarmed black men killed by police. But four years before anyone knew where Ferguson was located on a map, there was the fatal shooting of Danroy Henry Jr., known to his friends and family as "DJ."
There needs to be an organized national movement that proposes and lobbies for policy changes in law enforcements that need it and then in the state legislatures, Governor's Mansions, and Congress. Let the deaths of Martin, Garner, Bell, Grant, and countless others not be in vain.
In August 1964, mourners sang "We Shall Overcome" at the memorial services and funerals for Andrew Goodman James Chaney and Michael Schwerner, three civil rights workers murdered in Mississippi. Fifty years later, it is still being sung at services and protests in Ferguson, Missouri.
After the WWE action figure plummeted from the kitchen cabinet to the top of my head, I had a clear vision: There is no "taste police." No one, but you, really cares what your home looks like. And that's OK.
Kevin Sorbo's rant about Ferguson and... American history in general (I can't say "African American" anymore, according to Sorbo) doesn't really deserve a response.
The U.S. criminal justice system is built on the premise that one size does not fit when meting out justice. An individualized sentencing practice is key to a fair and just sentence.
For all those who loved "Big Mike," and all the other unnamed youth who have died to "justifiable" or "legal interventions" by law officers and know that Ferguson deserves change: be inspired -- register and vote for justice and for the fulfilled promise of peace.
In addition to concerns in Ferguson about lost learning time educators have a more urgent worry: making sure students who typically rely on school meals don't go hungry.
I am praying today, with my hands raised high, for a nation in which black boys are not feared, a nation in which they also need not fear for their safety.

This is one of our favorite summer time desserts.
This is heaven in a bowl!! I'm not an angel food cake lover, but this is divine! Will make again but next time will do a combination of all 3 berries on each berry layer, to be sure every serving has every berry......delish!
This is a family favorite. I have made it several times and will continue to make it. I made the recipe just as it is; no changes are necessary.
I added blackberries to top and topped with 2 lemon wedges with orange peel around it. I did the math it was 119 calories per serving. Tasted amazing!!! Thank you very much, everybody loved it.
This was light, and fluffy, and tasty all over. It goes away very fast at a gathering.

Luss Visitor Centre , Loch Lomond , Scotland
This is the visitor centre at Luss which gives details of the history of the village of Luss .
The village is right on the banks of Loch Lomond and many activities can be found here from several walking trails , beaches and sailing trips .
The village itself consists of beautiful little cottages almost fairytale like in appearance .
There are also a few small tourist shops selling the typically Scottish fayre of shortbread and tartan goods

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

Value of a demonstrator cub
I have a question. I found a 1950 demonstrator that was white under red but was recently sand blasted and painted red. What will that do to the value?
Re: Value of a demonstrator cub
The tractor is still a 1950 cub with whatever attachments and options present. It still has the same blemishes or strengths no matter what the color. From that standpoint it is worth the same as a similar cub of any other year.
From a collectors standpoint, if (big if) there are many pictures documenting the white paint, casting code numbers, serial tag...and they line up within the recognized serial number series of the 1950 demonstrators, then the new red paint job should not change any collector value at all. Recognize that not all 1950's in the demo range were painted white.
Re: Value of a demonstrator cub
You will get a lot of opinions on this topic, by my two cents is that without any original white paint intact on the tractor, in my opinion, the value decreases, I don't feel that a demonstrator is merely just the proper date codes of either an "S" or "T" or falling within the proper serial number range. There were apparent "demonstrators" that fell within the proper serial number range that did not have any original white paint on them from the factory.
Re: Value of a demonstrator cub
worth about the same as a 55 cub as far as I am concerned and less with no paper work with it
All others pay cash

Re: Value of a demonstrator cub
so many of them out there, and so many that were not originally white, and so many that have them that wish they were red- cause they can't keep them white with the leaks and drippy seals.
Once the white paint is stained, you get to repaint or leave it stained.
Why bother.
Re: Value of a demonstrator cub
If the necessary seals and gaskets are replaced as needed--and it is done correctly--you shouldn't have any leaks, regardless of paint color.
Re: Value of a demonstrator cub
No arguments, just stating facts. If you use it, it will leak. If you don't use it, why have it?
Re: Value of a demonstrator cub
Is the tractor yours now? Did you see the tractor before it was painted? Any pictures?
The value may have taken a hit, but a nice tractor is a nice tractor, no matter what color or year. Post (or PM me) the SN's, both tractor and engine and I may be able to tell you if it's legit. Also, all the cast codes must match up and show that major parts haven't been changed, as this will reduce value if its a true demo.
I agree with Cubguy47, if the gaskets and seals have been changed and done correctly, thre should be no leaks.

Re: Value of a demonstrator cub
I'm going to call your hand on this one Boss man. A 55 cub with a multi bar grill, hood with no oil holes for the generator plus all those pretty letters down the sides. Heck, it might even have a fast hitch on there... I'll take that 55 over the Demo any day.

Re: Value of a demonstrator cub
i got a 55 and a few demo's.
Re: Value of a demonstrator cub
Do you use them, and do any of them leak?
Re: Value of a demonstrator cub
I had a '55 - an Ohiah Cub - his name was Jed. He lives at Ed's house on a shelf I think .... Scotty isn't able to work on it now because of his AF duties. I do want another one at some point but would get a '54 first.
I know John ain't gonna like it much ... but this is JIMHO.
As for the Demo question. You would have to have photographic documentation, bill of sale indicating the white paint scheme or have some part of the Cub with white still present. Serial #'s mean nada, it is just the accepted range that demo's were pulled off the line and painted white. As far as the worth, not worth a penny more than any Cub in the same condition.
Confusion breeds Discussion which breeds Knowledge which breeds Confidence which breeds Friendship
Re: Value of a demonstrator cub
Well, yes and no. I believe there was a definate production change concerning the paint during the first three months of '50, three of them in fact. From the info sent to me in a PM, the Cub in question rolled of the line the first week of Feb, and it also happens to fall within the first white run from IH from the info I have gathered.
Before this thread dives into a "there are no records, you have no proof, this is heresy!!" comments, I'll be the first to admit that I haven't seen any secret IH production documents, but I have gathered records from this site and many others to put together enough data to establish a pretty firm pattern with the paint colors during this period.
Others on this site have seen what I have put together, and I personally have a high level of faith that its accurate within +/- a few SN's.

Re: Value of a demonstrator cub
You are correct and we all know that you are tracking this data, and we know that there are a number of very knowledgeable folks here that helped compile that issue. What I meant by the comment was that just because if falls within the demo range does not mean it is a demo but that it could be if other proof such as white paint is there.
If indeed this Cub is within that product batch lot then I would say ... hey it may very well be (it was white .... ) so he could repaint it if he wished. I just don't believe that demo's are worth more - except if they have the full Mid Century Campaign decals and placards. Then it is worth more. Now one that I know of is worth a passell cause it is a dually demo built from 2 sequentially numbered proven demo's. I just don't know what something like that is worth. I think you have the SN's for that demo.
Might mean some more reading in the WHS Archives when the snow falls.

Second half rally comes up short as JU falls on the road to Wofford, 63-57
Related Links
Trailing throughout most of the day, a late rally by the Jacksonville University men's basketball team came up short as Wofford survived for a 63-57 win on Sunday afternoon.
The Terriers (7-4) held JU at arm's length throughout the second half, scoring their final 17 points at the free throw line over the final 8:29. Kevin Giltner led Wofford with a game-high 14 points, connecting on 6-of-8 at the free throw line to go with his two 3-pointers.
Jacksonville overcame a rough first half by hitting 16-of-30 in the second half, including 5-of-8 from behind the arc – led by Glenn Powell's 12 points in the second half, one of the Dolphins in double figures.
"We had a great effort tonight, but we couldn't get enough stops late to get back in the game," said JU head coach Cliff Warren. "There are a lot of things for us to take out of this game, but we've got to watch some film and correct some mistakes."
JU (2-7) lost its fifth in a row after building a 30-18 deficit in the first half, hitting just 8-of-30 in the first half.
In the second half, the Dolphins cut the deficit to six in the first six minutes, 35-29, with a Delwan Graham layup.
Wofford answered with a spurt to push the lead back to 11, 46-35, with Karl Cochran hitting a 3-pointer with 8:29 left in the game.
From there, the JU defense held Wofford without a field goal over those final 8:29 – with the Terriers taking just two shots during that stretch. The Dolphins cut the deficit to four, 46-42, on a Keith McDougald 3-pointer with 5:45 left.
The Terriers answered with five straight points to push the lead back to nine and JU eventually battled back to cut it to four, 54-50, on a Russell Powell 3-pointer with 1:36 left. Wofford hit 9-of-12 in those final 96 seconds as the Dolphins would be unable to get the deficit down to one possession.
Despite no field goals in those final 8:29, Wofford was 17-of-22 from the free throw line during that stretch – taking only two shots from the floor during that time.
Delwan Graham led JU with 13 points and Russell Powell added 10 points, hitting two 3-pointers.
The loss came despite JU hitting seven more field goals and one more 3-pointer after being outscored by 21 at the free throw line.
Jacksonville returns to the court on Thursday when the Dolphins travel to face longtime Sun Belt Conference rival UAB. Tipoff is set for 8 p.m.

This is considered by most to be Slayer's peak.And who am I to disagree.This is Slayer firing on all cylinders,every side of the Slaytanic machine are represented here.The guitars sound like chainsaws from hell and the drums are like machinegun blasts of the apocalypse.War Ensemble is possibly the most vicious recording ever captured.Tom araya's voice is incredible,mixing up vocal styles throughout.Thrash,death,doom metal,Its all here.After the smoke settles Slayer stand far above the hordes of generic death and black metal bands and are still the most intense and extreme metal band on the planet.
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
This album stays in the tradition of "SOUTH OF HEAVEN" & "REIGN IN BLOOD".
The blistering guitar riffs & the thundering drum beat, What METALHEAD wouldn't like this album.
From the very start of this album it will blast you into a totally different dimension having you hanging on for your pathetic life.
SLAYER is the best when it comes to METAL, Checkout "EXPANIBLE YOUTH" better yet checkout the whole album it will rock you and won't let go.
Keep this in mind this band started out hard and they haven't quit yet!!
I rate this CD a 9 from 1to10!!
Everybody's agreeing about Reign in Blood being excellent (and it is). Seasons in.. and South of.. appear to provoke a lot more YES/NO/BUT/THIS/THAT. And that's exactly what these albums are about. You'll have to listen twice if you're addicted to the speed of Reign in.. But if you're up to HEAVY, if you're looking for the absolute best in trash metal, looking for the best compositions, the best drums (hail to you Dave), Arraya at the top of his voice and riffs that are still being copied but have only seldomly been improved upon, this is the one to buy.
From the blistering opening track "War Ensemble", to the crushing "Dead Skin Mask", to the title track reminiscent of Black Sabbath, this album is an entirely different experience from the "Reign in Blood" era Slayer, but still just as powerful and memorable. While the guitar work is still highly technical controlled chaos, and Araya's voice seems more mature, Lombardo's chops on drums are, as always, incredible. One particularly memorable moment is during a breakdown in the middle of "Spirit in Black", where he rolls the bass drum with machine gun precision.
From start to finish this album shows a mature side of Slayer that both allowed them to grow as a band post-Reign, and still showcased what they did best.
The title of this review makes a bold statement, but I believe it to be true. After all, Slayer is the fastest and possibly the heaviest band in metal, and this is their best album. Reign In Blood is an extremely close second, but that album sometimes seems like one long song, whereas Seasons In The Abyss is much more diverse. SITA combines all the best elements of Slayer's previous albums, while trying new ideas as well. The result is powerful thrash metal with an earth-shaking intensity that leaves you stunned. The first song on the album is War Ensemble, which cuts right to the chase with its' intense heaviness, making it the ultimate war anthem. The second track, Blood Red, is more of a mid-tempo song with a classic-rock riff and lyrics about oppressive rule and genocide. Next comes Spirit In Black, which would fit perfectly on a Metal Blade-era Slayer album, and even includes references to the songs Hell Awaits and Raining Blood. It is a song all about life in Hell. The next song is Expendable Youth, which features lyrics about inner-city violence, along the lines of Iron Maiden's 'Gangland', but with different insight. At the center of the album is Dead Skin Mask, the creepiest song ever written, with an eerie riff and lyrics about Ed Gein, one of America's first serial killers, notorious for exhuming human corpses and decorating his house with their dead flesh. Toward the end of this song listeners hear a young child's desperate cries for mercy. Next comes Hallowed Point, which is fast and heavy in the tradition of Reign In Blood, followed by Skeletons Of Society. I can only wonder why Skeletons Of Society is not usually considered a Slayer classic. It has great drumming and intelligent lyrics about anarchy and the downfall of modern civilization, such as "the rich became the beggars and fools became the wise". This song is followed by Temptation, which features echoing vocals, perhaps meant to be evil voices inside your head tempting you to sin. The song asks the clever question "have you ever wondered why it seems the evil you're attracted to?". The second-to-last song on the album is another fast-tempo song called Born Of Fire, about Satan's son, which is very brutal and leads to the grand finale. The album closes with my second-favorite Slayer song after Angel Of Death, the epic title-track Seasons In The Abyss. This song has lyrics, but the first two-and-a-half minutes are a dark and harrowing instrumental, almost like the soundtrack to descending to Hell after death. The song also has amazing guitar solos, as do all the songs on this great album. Guitarists Jeff Hanneman and Kerry King will frequently switch back and forth from each other to create a sort of guitar duel, and the title-track is probably the best example of this on the album. In conclusion, all true heavy metal fans need this album. I highly recommend it if you don't already have it. Kerrang! magazine chose it as the 1990 Album Of The Year, and it certainly deserves that distinction. Seasons In The Abyss is simply an amazing album.

Youth suicide is one of three key health concerns among Saskatchewan Métis people.
Monday in the city Métis Nation Saskatchewan launched a Blue Ribbon Campaign in Yorkton to raise awareness abut the serious issue.
Suicide rates have been identified as one of the top priorities in the Métis Health and Well-Being Strategy and up until now there has been a lack of appropriate programs and services directed to Métis youth in respect to suicide, explained Sandra Youngchief, Interim Director of Health with the provincial Métis organization.
Suicide is the second leading cause of death amongst Aboriginal teens aged 15-29 and there is little known about the exact rates of suicide in our Métis communities.
Suicidal behaviours amongst Métis youth are a reality for many reasons, including the loss of community ties and cultural connections, as well as the experience of lower socioeconomic status.
Youngchief said in talking to RCMP in Yorkton she was told the Sunrise Health Region has the second highest incidence of youth suicide in Saskatchewan, so launching the new program in the city made sense.
"The Blue Ribbon Campaign was developed to raise awareness of and support for Métis youth suicide prevention and to provide training to professionals working with Métis youth at risk. The campaign supports the unique cultural needs of Métis communities and expands the capacity that already exists," explained a brochure from the press conference. "An Alliance of Hope, the ultimate goal of the campaign is to send a message to Métis youth that they are valued' their future is the future of the Métis nation."
The Blue Ribbon is a symbol of hope for Métis youth and pinning ribbons to as many people as possible is how the group hopes to raise awareness of the issues around Métis youth suicide.
The campaign is also raising awareness amongst Métis youth, their friends and family about the kinds of services available to youth who are at risk of harming themselves.
Youngchief explained the campaign will target youth.
"It gives students an opportunity to know there is a different process," she said, adding the process is one where support is given.
Youngchief said you can provide all the resources but added "in the moment you don't know who to call."
The current campaign includes circulating a simple business card, but one which has several telephone numbers to agencies youth can call when they need some help.
But the program is also designed to give youth tools to deal with crisis too. One way to do that is help youth reconnect with their roots.
"We're trying to get kids connected back to their culture," said Youngchief.
One of the elements of Métis culture is the Red River Cart, which Youngchief plays an important role a training program also held Monday to help give both youth and support people more tools in dealing with youth suicide.
The Blue Ribbon Train-the-Trainer program has been developed as a culturally appropriate vehicle for delivering suicide prevention and awareness training for Saskatchewan's Métis youth.
"A Red River cart wheel was chosen as a model for this Strategy because it is a culturally recognizable symbol for Métis people," explained the Métis Health and Well-Being Strategy. "The wheel, with its large hub, spokes and rim serve to demonstrate the interconnectedness of Métis understandings of health and well-being with priority areas for action. It is hoped that this symbol will serve to inspire community engagement, dialogue and vision for healthy communities.
"The wheel hub provides strength, anchors the wheel, and with the cart axle, holds the two cart wheels together. Métis culture, language, values and traditional knowledge which hold the community together, are contained in the hub of the wheel. The wheel spokes radiate from the hub and are of equal length, demonstrating balance and equality in priority areas for health action, Each spoke is important, as the wheel will not function if all of the spokes are not intact. When communities are under stress, wheel spokes get broken and must be repaired. Through community engagement and dialogue, the community will identify what is broken, as well as the solutions and actions needed to repair the spokes, returning balance to the cart wheel and the community. The spokes of the wheel are inserted into the rim, or felloes of the wheel. The felloes of the wheel hold the spokes in place, and provide strength and support to the wheel. In this model, the felloes are the individuals, communities, partners and stakeholders working together towards common goals and objectives of improving Métis health."
Monday's training program looked to train service providers who are often the first to notice signs of/or intervene in suicide and was developed to assist communities to take ownership and control over suicide prevention and intervention, explained Youngchief.
This certified training takes place over four hours and participants who complete the program receive a certificate.
"Youth suicide is an unfortunate and tragic reality in many Métis communities. As such, the MN-S has prioritized suicide prevention and education. In 2009, the MN-S received funding from the AHTF to create a provincial Métis Youth Suicide Prevention Strategy and Tool Kits. The MN-S is now working to implement the Strategy in communities and builds partnerships to create sustainability for the Strategy's use. This implementation will include the creation of a Training Manual and workshops to train community members, community workers and health service providers in how to use and adapt the Strategy and Tool Kits for use in their communities," explained the strategy book.

SMR official showcases photography
Date: December 18, 2009
by: Pam Eubanks | News Editor
Most know SMR Farms President Mac Carraway as a distinguished agriculturist.
Now, he's showcasing his talent as a nature photographer as well.
Carraway, who has been taking and printing traditional and digital photographs for more than 30 years, will have some of his photographic works displayed through Jan. 8 at the Manatee County Agricultural Museum, 1015 6th St. W., Palmetto.
Carraway specializes in photographic portraits of Florida flowers, but other featured pieces include infrared landscapes and agricultural scenes, among others.
"My dad was in the printing business when I was a kid, and I loved watching (black and white) prints come up in the developer," Carraway said. "He later gave me that old equipment after I took a photo course in college. I've been taking pictures ever since, and doing my own developing."
When digital cameras came out, they offered a whole new level of creativity, he said.
Carraway's work was featured in the Palmetto Art Center's Fall Show earlier this year along with the work of several other local artists and photographers.
"I really do (photography) because I enjoy it, but these opportunities to hang a few pieces were very excited," Carraway said. "I hope to do more as time permits."
The Ag Museum is open from 10 a.m. to noon and 1-4 p.m., Tuesday through Friday, and the first and third Saturday of the month. The museum will be closed from Dec. 23 to Jan. 4 for the holidays.
Admission is free. For information, call 721-2034.

Potholes leave pensioner black and blue
Updated 7:23pm Tuesday 22nd January 2013 in Echo News By Luke Lambert
A BASILDON pensioner has been left black and blue after tripping over one of the borough's many potholes.
Elenor Petchey, 94, from Felmores, was walking to the bus stop at Felmores End on Thursday, January 10 when she caught her foot in a four-inch hole in the ground before falling.
Mrs Petchey suffered facial injuries and heavy bruising around her neck and face. Luckily a doctor saw her fall and was able to help. her daughter said Essex County Council should be held responsible for not making the repairs more long-lasting.
Denise Howard, 60, from Burgundy Gardens, Pitsea, said her mum had to get out of her wheelchair to avoid the potholes.
She said: "Mum was a real state after she fell. She had blood all over her face and it was heartbreaking to see. We were very lucky a doctor happened to be there and was able to help. Mum is on the mend now.
"There are a number of elderly residents around this area and they are not being protected from the ruined roads.
Councillor Phil Rackley has said Basildon gets a bad deal when it comes to road maintenance and has complained about the state of a number of roads in his ward where the repairs of potholes are not up to scratch.
Mr Rackley has said Basildon gets a bad deal when it comes to road maintenance and has complained about the state of a number of roads in his ward where the repairs of potholes are not up to scratch.
He said: "It seems as though this has always been a problem and we need more long-lasting repairs. Ice and snow won't improve the situation so it has to be sorted."
An Essex County Council spokesperson said: "We are sorry to hear about the accident and we hope that the resident made a swift recovery. A Highways Officer will visit the area to establish the location of the road defect and to see if any potential repairs need to be undertaken."

"I just wanted to tell you guys that you are by far the best company around. I have been a customer of yours for a while now. First off, shipping is always superfast. The freshness of the almonds were by far some of the best I have ever had. I recently ordered the Acai Berry and Hemp Superfood Cereals, never had anything like it, but the taste was amazing. I just wanted to tell you how much I love your company, keep up the great work."

About Blueberries
Blueberries are one of only a few fruits native to North America. In fact, Native Americans used to have a variety of uses for blueberries as a dietary supplement and for medicinal purposes. North America remains the top producer and consumer of blueberries, although other countries such as Chile are becoming increasingly involved in the development of the crop. Blueberries are enjoyed for their delicious sweet and tart flavor, and are gaining attention around the world as new research uncovers promising health benefits of blueberry consumption.
Health Benefits of Blueberries
1) Protective Antioxidants: Blueberries rank #1 in antioxidant activity, according to researchers at the USDA Human Nutrition Center (HNRCA) in a study that compared blueberries to 40 other fresh fruits and vegetables. Anthocyanins, the antioxidants responsible for giving blueberries their color, protect cells from the damaging effects of oxidation, which is often linked to chronic conditions like heart disease and cancer.
2) Lower Cholesterol Levels: A 2010 study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry examined the effect of blueberry juice byproducts on hamsters that consumed a high-fat diet. Hamsters were used for the experiment because, like humans, their cholesterol levels increase from eating fatty foods. The group of hamsters whose high-fat diet was supplemented with blueberry extract had both lower total and LDL "bad" cholesterol levels than those in the control group.
3) Cardiovascular Health: The protective, heart-healthy effects of blueberries are promising. Atherosclerosis is a disease characterized by the build-up of plaque in the arteries, and is a precursor of heart disease. Findings from a 2010 study in the Journal of Nutrition demonstrated that blueberry-fed mice had less atherosclerotic plaque than the mice that did not receive blueberry supplementation.
4) Bone Health: Research suggests that the high polyphenol content of blueberries has bone-building effects. A 2010 study published in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research found that blueberry-fed rats had significantly more bone mass than rats whose diet was not supplemented with the berries. Scientists attribute these results to the phenolic acids that are present in blueberries. This study has positive implications for the effect of blueberry consumption on retaining bone mass and preventing osteoporosis.
5) Improved Memory: Blueberries can boost brain power. A 2012 study published in the journal Annals of Neurology examined the memory capacity and berry consumption of 16,000 nurses. The researchers found that nurses who consumed the most blueberries and strawberries showed less memory decline over 2.5 years than participants who did not eat berries. Another study published in the April 2010 issue of the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry found that blueberry consumption improved cognitive function and memory performance in older adults.
Tastes and Uses of Dried Blueberries
Dried blueberries have a sweet taste with a touch of tartness. Bilberries are the European counterpart of blueberries and are generally smaller and slightly more tart. Blueberries are easy to incorporate into your favorite everyday foods! Try tossing a handful of blueberries on a salad for a sweet and tangy taste. Dried blueberries have a soft and chewy texture that goes well with a morning bowl of oatmeal. We all love the appeal of fresh blueberry muffins and pancakes, so feel free to use a cup of dried blueberries the next time you whip up a batch for breakfast. Adding dried blueberries to your favorite trail mix will give your go-to hiking snack a load of antioxidants. And of course, we love enjoying dried blueberries by the handful just as they are!
How are blueberries harvested?
The blueberry harvest in North America can range from April to November, depending on the harvest region. Blueberry bushes grow in rows and the fruits are ready for harvest when the berries become plump and mature, changing in firmness and color from light green to a deep bluish-purple. Mechanical harvesting equipment is then used between the rows to gently shake each bush, helping to release the ripe blueberries into catchers. After the collection period, the bins of blueberries are transported to processing facilities where they are cleaned and sorted.
