Diner Reviews
City Hall is great. The food and
service are always top notch."
Dined on 8/14/2014
The Chrysler tower was pitiful. A
few clams, mussels and oysters on a huge bed of ice; some shrimp and one lobster tail. Menu states for 2 - 4 people! For $65!"
Dined on 8/13/2014
Very yummy. Perfect sized
portions. I really nice break from the stress of the work day."
Dined on 8/11/2014
Mussel appetizer was extremely
salty with small, rather than plumb mussels. Scallops were okay but plated on top of slimy ravioli with very little flavor. The angel food dessert was so bad it was inedible. There was nothing on the plate that resembled angel food. Service was disinterested and disorganized. This was a very disappointing meal."
Dined on 8/5/2014
Met a friend there for lunch. The
food was very good and so was the service. Menu was interesting and diverse. Will definitely go back again."
Dined on 8/5/2014
Perfect. Great food, excellent
service,great atmosphere. We will definitely return."
Dined on 8/1/2014
Food was ok - but seriously... the
service was so poor! We sat at the table for 20 mins before being asked for drinks. It took an additional 20 mins and 3 reminders to get sparkling water..."
Dined on 7/31/2014
The food at City Hall is
impeccable. Always the freshest seafood/raw bar. The staff is super professional but lacking a bit in warmth. City Hall is my go-to place for business luncheons. It never disappoints."
Dined on 7/31/2014
The watermelon salad and mussels
were great, the main course for the summer catch and steak weren't great and the dessert didn't look like angel food cake. But it was a good spot and am thinking about going back for the burger."
Dined on 7/31/2014
We ate outside and were exposed to
a pan handler asking for money. When we asked him to move on he went into a threatening verbal abusive language rant."
Dined on 7/26/2014
Wonderful summer, fresh menu. Had
delicious scallops as well as a scrumptious watermelon tomato salad. Gracious service as well. Enjoyed it very much."
Dined on 7/24/2014
The food was good (above average),
but in a competitive NYC food scene, it's nothing super exciting. If you order the Mac and Cheese, watch out - the dish is VERY HOT and your waiter may or may not advise you of that. I burned my hand when I accidentally bumped the dish. I indicated that I would recommend this to a friend - I say this because the restaurant wasn't too crowded and if you need a good place that you can come in last minute without a reservation, is in a good neighborhood and has above average food, this is a good place to keep on your list. Didn't seem to be too many tourists - mostly afterwork/local crowd."
Dined on 7/23/2014
Our many years of enjoying a nice
dinner at City Hall has come to an end. The service was lacking in attention and detail, our waiter forgot our mac and cheese side and had to be reminded numerous times, it finally arrived at the end of our meal without an apology, the waiter then cleared our wine glasses with wine still in the glass without asking and he never checked to see how our dinner was. Truly horrible service. The medium rare steak arrived dry and hard. A bottle of $26 white wine was $69 and not worth the price of inflation. It is unfortunate that a neighborhood gem and former reliable restaurant has lost its focus on providing good customer service and food."
Dined on 7/16/2014
I'm here multiple times a month.
The food is always outstanding, with one of the BEST burgers in the city. Henry Meer, chef/owner, is always warm and a great host. I recommend CITY HALL for a superb dinning experience."
Dined on 7/2/2014
You can talk comfortably and the
seating gives you lots of elbow-room. The food is presented well and is uniformly delicious. The room is airy and well-designed. Nothing distracts you from your lunch companions, which to me is a huge compliment for a restaurant."
Dined on 7/2/2014
My husband and I love oysters.
They had 3 types of oysters to choose from. Actually they should have offered just 2 types. One type of oysters(west coast) were aweful. Not fresh at all. The service was good, the waiter was trying so hard I felt bad for him."
Dined on 6/28/2014
Enjoyed a relaxing dinner seated
outside on a balmy evening. Duane Street is relatively quiet even on a Saturday evening which makes outdoor dining very pleasant. The food and the service are always good at City Hall. We return each time we stay in the downtown area."
Dined on 6/28/2014
While the food was good, the
service was fair at best. The restaurant was not busy, but nonetheless the waiters kept going missing. Also it was unclear who was our waiter. Four people total were at our table ( cocktails, ordering, food delivery, plate removal). But who was responsible? Also think they put items on our bill that we didn't order. Unfortunately we didn't notice until we reviewed the bill when we got home."
Dined on 6/19/2014
We have been having lunch at City
Hall during our 2 week trial at the nearby Courthouse. Great food, friendly staff."
Dined on 6/19/2014
Best hanger steak this side of
Brooklyn! I need to spend more time downtown."
Dined on 6/12/2014
Perhaps it was being a Wednesday
but servers were few and attention to the table was below the standard of past visits. Food was ok."
Dined on 6/11/2014
Have been here for brunch twice
recently and service was consistently good both times. It was not very busy so we had short wait times for meal and attentive service from the staff. This is a great alternative to the nearby overcrowded and underwhelming Odeon. Will be back as they are a kid friendly spot and would like to try a wider range of choices from their menu."
Dined on 5/31/2014
Bartender had an awful,
unprofessional attitude. Slow, talking way to much to regulars, thought who he was, obvious chip on his shoulder."
Dined on 5/30/2014
We just loved City Hall for dinner
this week. The food was outstanding and reasonably priced. The service was excellent. If I lived in NY I would eat there once a week :-)"
Dined on 5/27/2014
City Hall remains a dining
destination even after all this time. It has an old-time New York ambiance and plenty of elbowroom. The owner still patrols the dining room and makes sure everything is running smoothly. The food is excellent and amply portioned. The fly in the ointment is the cost. It ain't cheap, especially if you indulge in some of the finer wines. But it's always worth a visit."
Dined on 5/24/2014
If you are in this neck of the
woods, you almost have to do lunch at City Hall as a perfect fit to your day; we were touring historic Soho (do this too!) and ended up here for a late lunch; a little empty by 1:30 on a Friday, but had some top oysters (altho they were out of our first choice!) and the mixed salad (very interesting dressing,DIFFERENT GOOD!) and the salmon/grilled cheese; a nice white blend wine from the North Fork (didn't know quite all the grapes....) and a "kit kat dessert" which was pretty fantastic; a nice fit to OUR day!"
Dined on 5/16/2014
I have always had a great time at
this restaurant,this time i had to send the food back and spent quite a while looking for the server."
Dined on 5/13/2014
Had to ask for bread three times.
Finally received the basket half way through the meal. Capuccino was served cold. Otherwise the food was excellent and the owner was very pleasant."
Dined on 5/8/2014
Dinner w/college-age son. His
hangar steak was great. My salmon in kale salad overcooked to the point of looking like a white eraser. Forgot croutons. Wine pours are small: half cup and even thought they could tell we are multi-glass people; never poured more than 4 oz. So bill was really high. Had to flag for wait person; had to ask for menus; had to ask for bread. But the place is nice. Just don't arrive starving or parched. "
Dined on 5/6/2014
We really liked City Hall, and we
had a terrific lunch after attending Good Friday services at Trinity Church on Wall Street. But it makes me mad when a restaurant charges extra for the sides. The entrees were fairly priced, but they came with nothing. Couldn't they can't put a couple of dollars worth of beans or broccoli or carrots on the side with a scoop of rice or potatoes? It just seems cheap and frankly a rip off to have to pay $11 for some sauteed kale or French fries. I'm not sure I would hurry back. "
Dined on 4/18/2014
I've been to City Hall many times
and was sad to see it has run its course. The food and service were still very good, but it was quite slow and it changed the vibe of the establishment."
Dined on 4/4/2014
City Hall is a gem to find in the
downtown area. The restaurant was nice a quiet, which was perfect for my dinner with clients. We each had the delectable burger, shared crispy tender onion rings and practically got into a fight sharing the creamy mac 'n cheese. It was my first time at the restaurant, I will absolutely return, many times."
Dined on 4/2/2014
I'm always looking for a QUIET
restaurant where conversation is easy and we don't have to shout to hear each other. Make a reservation in advance, request a booth. Service is lovely, food is good, with a nice range of options. I really like the burger, for example. Salads are fresh and delicious. Etc. Also, I understand they have a party room, which I haven't seen, but it is good to keep in mind."
Dined on 4/1/2014
City Hall is our "go to"
restaurant when entertaining clients and/or when we're in need of excellent American food and very fine wine. While the menu varies somewhat by season, the familiar items that I usually rely on are almost always perfect. The Thursday night we were at City Hall was a quiet one - some nights are raucous, but not this one - and service was a tad sleepy; but we'll continue to treasure the restaurant's ambiance and usual excellence."
Dined on 3/13/2014
We had the restaurant week menu as
it was still offered as the last day of the week. The appetizer was almost entree sizes. the waiter can be a bit pushy at times- almost deciding for us what we wanted for desert or pushing us in having coffee."
Dined on 3/7/2014
Came here during restaurant week
for a nice lunch and was pleased way beyond my expectations. Not only were the restaurant menu options excellent, but the quality and portion sizes were just as stellar. Every item in every dish was prepared with such detail both in appearance and taste. The fried oysters (on regular menu) stole the show - large portion, unbelievably delicious and only $15. Great drink menu and wine list. Huge, spacious and inviting atmosphere. Incredibly nice and welcoming staff, including the chef/owner who stays in the dining area to help the staff and greet the customers. A++ and definitely on my top list for NYC!"
Dined on 3/7/2014
slow service for lunch on
restaurant week. Lunch = 2+ hours."
Dined on 3/7/2014
Food was very good, Dining room
very comfortable and quiet. Service was a bit perfunctory."
Dined on 3/6/2014
went out for a family birthday
dinner (early evening), and they were able to accommodate for a 15-month old baby (they had high chairs!) service was great and everyone commented on how good the food was. i had the restaurant week menu -- the duck was juicy and well seasoned, and the lemon cake was heavenly. the staff even presented a birthday candle for dessert upon learning by chance that it was a birthday dinner. lastly, for a parent of a young baby, to find a place like this in the city is really a treat. we will be back when we need another nice family meal/celebration in the city!"
Dined on 3/5/2014
For me this is my "go to" business
lunch place for serious business near City Hall and the court houses. The better thing is that the staff understands that as well. The food is excellent macros the board and the variety insures there is something for any diner so you don't have to worry if the other party has any strong dislikes. It also is not a down town tourist trap so you don't have t worry about obnoxious crowds. It is a fine dining experience that will only reflect well on you when taking a client there."

The Sumiton resident was unable to make the trip at the last minute because she had to have her tonsils removed.
This year, Adderhold received free tickets to Monday's game in Miami only to wake up three days before departure with a sore throat.
"Everybody I know is bringing me medicine because I refuse to miss another game," Adderhold said Thursday afternoon.
Adderhold is attending the game with her friend, Christal Hoagland, who got the tickets as a Christmas gift.
Other Walker County residents are digging deep to watch the historic Alabama-Notre Dame match-up in person.
"In my 22 years of going to Alabama games, this has been the most expensive ticket ever," said Ted Killingsworth of Jasper, who paid $1,000 per seat for his family to be in the middle of the Alabama section for the 2013 championship game.
Killingsworth will be in Miami Monday with his wife, Lisa, sons Wesley and Ryan, and Ryan's girlfriend, Angie.
The group decided to drive down instead of fly in an effort to cut some of the expense.
Alabama football has been a family affair for the Killingsworths since Ted bribed a date out of Lisa with a UA ticket.
Ted Killingsworth was present when Alabama won the national championship against Miami in the 1993 Sugar Bowl and traveled to Pasadena in 2010. He and his family also cheered on the Tide in New Orleans last January.
Killingsworth feels good about Alabama's chances for back-to-back championships.
"With the layoff that we've had, you never know what team is going to show up, but I do feel really confident because Alabama has been there and done that," Killingsworth said.
However, even if the luck of the Irish somehow prevails Monday night, he won't regret the money he spent on the game.
"It's worth every penny because we love Alabama football and it's a good family trip," Killingsworth said.
Jeremy Graves, of Jasper Auto Sales, and several of his friends are making the trip to Miami. Graves went to Pasadena in 2010 and New Orleans in 2012. He said he is superstitious when it comes to supporting the Crimson Tide, even to the point of contacting the Daily Mountain Eagle.
"We had our picture taken and were in the paper last year and in 2010, and Alabama won both times," he said. "I felt like we had to do that again."
John and Jessica Brasfield of Dora will be sitting on the lower level sidelines at Sun Life Stadium Monday night. The couple also attended the championship games in Pasadena and New Orleans.
John Brasfield said Thursday that with a price tag of approximately $10,000 for tickets, lodging and transportation combined, this trip is shaping up to be the most expensive of the three.
"It's hard to say that it's a once in a lifetime chance when you've already been twice, but who's to say when we'll play Notre Dame again or that it won't be another 20 years before we get back there," Brasfield said. "Each time you're there, it's potentially the last time in a long time."

From June 6 to 8, Anderson University hosted its first sports marketing camp for high school students and I was fortunate enough to be able to chaperone and work at it. While there is no shortage of camps available for kids who are interested in honing their playing skills in one sport or another, there aren't a lot of camps that exist for those interested in learning more about the business side and AU professor Greg Heberling wanted to change that.
During the three days, as many different sports as possible were represented and as many different individuals working in professions within those sports spoke to the attendees. While each had a different angle and insight, I tended to focus on areas where there was commonality in advice and counsel. What I discovered was a list of good recommendations for any student looking to enter a field where the supply of those wanting to work in that vocation exceeds the number of jobs available.
The top five suggestions given were:
u Be passionate. You have to want the position more than anything (be willing to relocate, work long hours, start at the bottom, etc.) and want it more than anyone else does. It may be that the only way to get your foot in the door is to move half-way around the country and sell tickets for a team that no one likes, but if that is what it takes to better your resume, create some networking connections in the business, and get started, then you need to be willing to do it.
u Never underestimate persistence. There is something to be said for being tenacious to the point that people know who you are and that you aren't just a name on a piece of paper. Don't be afraid to be determined and let them know that you truly want the job.

AP Political Writer
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli sold much of his stock in troubled nutritional supplements maker Star Scientific last summer at a net gain of $4,040, according to tax records he allowed reporters to view Thursday.
The Republican gubernatorial candidate's records release caught his Democratic foe, former electric-car company executive and master fundraiser Terry McAuliffe, flat-footed. When asked whether McAuliffe would also let reporters review his income tax returns, McAuliffe campaign aide Ellen Qualls said no decision would be made Thursday.
Cuccinelli opened eight years' worth of federal and state returns to journalists on Thursday, revealing he paid $33,198 in 2012 taxes on income of $194,398.
His campaign said Cuccinelli sold his remaining shares in Star Scientific this year, divesting himself of holdings in the company. The stock, along with gifts from company CEO Jonnie Williams, has provoked conflict-of-interest claims for allowing his office to handle Star Scientific's $700,000 tax lawsuit against the state.
Shares Cuccinelli sold last year were at or near the top of the market for Star Scientific stock. The stock reached a high of $4.99 per share when Cuccinelli unloaded 1,400 shares on July 2. By November, it was trading as low as $1.56 per share. Star Scientific's Thursday Nasdaq closing price was $1.34 per share.
In 2011, Cuccinelli had purchased additional shares of Star Scientific, then worth at least $10,000 and not more than $50,000, according to the statement of economic interest he filed in January. Campaign spokeswoman Anna Nix said Thursday the last of his shares was sold last week, though she did not know the number of shares or the sale price.
"He no longer has any stock in Star Scientific," she said.
The company faces a federal securities investigation and lawsuits from two shareholders.
It's rare that Virginia gubernatorial candidates open their tax records, and Cuccinelli's move puts added pressure on McAuliffe to disclose returns that, among other things, might illuminate his role with GreenTech Automotive, a company he acquired in 2009 that manufactures a tiny, all-electric vehicle named MyCar.
McAuliffe said the company would create hundreds of jobs. It started operations on a modest scale last summer in a Mississippi suburb of Memphis, Tenn. McAuliffe, who failed to win the Democratic nomination for Virginia governor in 2009, said the plant went to Mississippi after Virginia economic development officials showed little interest in it. Government records obtained by The Associated Press later showed that state officials became wary because the company never satisfied many questions about the enterprise, including its financing.
McAuliffe quietly resigned as chairman of GreenTech automotive after announcing his 2013 candidacy in November.
Star Scientific was Cuccinelli's lone stock holding last year, but not his only investment. He sold shares of three Vanguard investment funds for a net gain of $852.
Cuccinelli's stock portfolio was far more diverse when he was inaugurated in January 2010.
According to his 2010 federal tax return and attachments, on Feb. 1, 2010, he sold shares he had acquired in six companies from 2001 through 2006 at a loss of $6,243. Among the holdings he reported selling were 64 shares of Altria Group, 150 shares of Emerson Electric Co., 64 shares of Philip Morris International and 24 shares of Verizon Communications.
The returns show Cuccinelli earning a comfortable living over the past eight years with total income ranging from a high of slightly more than $264,000 in 2005 as a partner in his Fairfax County law firm to $134,000 in 2009, the depth of the recession and the year he spent most of his time away from his firm campaigning for attorney general.
In his family of nine - Cuccinelli, his wife, Tiero, and their five daughters and two sons - that's hardly lavish living in the Washington, D.C., suburbs. The family kept its home there after he became attorney general, living chiefly on his annual state wage of about $157,000.
During that time, his total state and federal income taxes ranged from a high of $77,132, or a 29 percent effective combined tax rate, to a low of $15,687 paid on $158,128 in adjusted gross income in 2011, an effective tax rate of 9.9 percent.
He took deductions for $50,414 in itemized and in-kind charitable contributions since 2005. He also deducted $51,381 in mortgage interest payments over that span.

All MLAPI objects are defined in the MLAPI namespace. The most important objects are:
MLAPI can be used for both serial and parallel computations.
Space MySpace(128);
MultiVector V;
int NumVectors = 1;
V.Reshape(V, NumVectors);
V contains just one vector.
new, and therefore never free them using
delete. The code will automatically delete memory when it is no longer referenced by any object. Besides, functions or methods that need to return MLAPI objects, should always return an instance of the required object, and not a pointer or a reference.
Let us consider three generic MLAPI objects. The assignment A = B means the following: all smart pointers contained by B are copied in A, both A and B point to the same memory location. However, A and B are not aliases: we can still write
B = Duplicate(C)
An MLAPI::InverseOperator (and therefore preconditioners MLAPI::MultiLevelSA and MLAPI::MultiLevelAdaptiveSA) can be easily wrapped as an Epetra_Operator derived class, then used within, for instance, AztecOO. An example is reported in EpetraInterface.cpp.

MANITOWOC, Wis. (AP) -- Green Bay Packers running back Cedric Benson has paid fines for three citations in Manitowoc County.
According to the clerk of courts office, Benson paid $452.50 for a speeding citation. He was accused of going 41 mph over the speed limit.
Benson also paid $200.50 for driving without a valid license and $200.50 for an animal-at-large citation last month.
WLUK-TV (http://bit.ly/12zXHlR) reports Benson still faces another animal-at-large citation. That citation says Benson's two Rottweilers attacked 17 calves at his neighbor's farm in Maribel in December. A sheriff's department report says the dogs chewed on calves' legs and several suffered deep wounds.
The report says Benson told deputies he had put up a fence to contain the dogs, but they managed to escape.
That citation is scheduled for court next Wednesday.

What a wonderful gesture of kindness and a positive symbol of humanity. Amanda North is to be commended; she acted from her heart.
on Jun 11, 2013 at 6:51 pm
Great story, Great job Amanda North, Best of Health to you.
on Jun 12, 2013 at 8:20 am
I am glad to hear Erika is recovering. Nice to hear good news about the victims of this horror. But I still can't think of this subject without getting upset. I am afraid justice will be denied and the perpetrator will get away with it. May God comfort the victims when this happens.
on Jun 15, 2013 at 7:10 pm
I believe because of Amanda North's heroic act and compassion, a lovely young lady is alive.
And now Erika Brannock is here to show us her courage and strength.
It is obvious she will move forward and will be an example to all of us. I applaud her parents for raising such a remarkable daughter.
Blessings to Amanda and Erika.
on Jun 16, 2013 at 7:19 am
Thank you, Erika Brannock, for your great courage. Thank you, Amanda North, for being so present in both your actions and words. So many have been inspired by your fearlessness to act w/ unconditional love in the face of great danger. And with such grace. May you both be truly blessed by your life-saving bond and healing friendship. Wishing you both peace.

I am nosing my car into a parking space in a mini–strip mall, as directed by the text message I'd received earlier, when a car pulls up behind me, blocking my retreat.
I'd taken the specified exit off the 55 Freeway in Santa Ana, California, the second-most populous city in Orange County. Erase from your internal screen for a moment the glamorous O.C. you see on television. This part of the province is known as the Inland Empire—landlocked, sunbaked, graffitied and nearly 80 percent Hispanic; the annual per capita income is about $12,000. It is high noon. There is plenty of traffic but strangely nobody on foot. I've been here only once before, to check out the hook spot where football's fallen Robo Quarterback, Todd Marinovich, liked to score his black tar heroin, known in these parts as chiva, Spanish for goat.
The car behind me is low-slung and midnight blue. It idles with a throaty purr, an expensive toy that has seen better days and could certainly use a wash. I open the passenger door. Inside is a sandy-haired 30-something; he looks like a typical marketing guy in a white dress shirt. He thanks me for driving all this way.
I get inside. He hands me a chilled bottle of Smartwater and a blindfold.
"It isn't far," he says, pulling away.
I bought my first dime bag of marijuana at the age of 12, inside a wooden stall decorated with predictable penknife etchings in the boys' bathroom on the second floor of my Hebrew school in Baltimore.
My parents sent me to the school three times a week in order to learn my heritage, to give me a sense of place as a Jew in a post-Holocaust world. What they probably hadn't considered was the fact that their coddled suburban child would be rubbing elbows for all those hours every week with a more worldly urban variety of adolescent that lived across the city line. These were kids from a lower socioeconomic environment, you might say, who rode public buses solo and attended scary schools with black majorities—remember the middle school in the HBO series The Wire? These kids smoked and drank and had a lot more sex (allegedly) than the naive little county mice from Pikesville. Some of their parents worked at night and left them alone in the house. Like Jimi Hendrix was singing around that time, they were experienced.
And I was there to learn.
The point is, any serious smoker will tell you that marijuana—besides making doughnuts taste better, movies seem cooler and sex more intense—opens certain doors of perception. After you've smoked the first time (or five), you start seeing yourself a little differently, and this in turn makes you see the world a little differently. Maybe it makes you a little more open to things, a gateway in a positive sense.
Over the past 45 years, in the course of my travels as a person and as a journalist, marijuana has served as a great equalizer, a safe and easy common denominator that has put me on the same sofa, log or grassy knoll as people I would never have sat down with otherwise.
I've smoked pot with gangbangers, actors, rap stars, construction workers, bankers, homeless guys and millionaires. I've smoked at 14,000 feet in the Nepalese Himalayas with a Sherpa guide; at 36,000 feet in a commercial airliner back in the days when they had smoking sections; at just below sea level on the beach of Marlon Brando's private atoll with a topless Tahitian translator; in the ruins of a factory in North Philadelphia with a bunch of 13-year-olds while watching pit bulls fight to the death—hey, all of those kids worked shifts selling crack and had juvie records a mile long.
I've smoked with a Bedouin and a couple of PLO operatives in a refugee camp in the Gaza Strip (we used a pipe made out of irrigation tubing); a captain of a 60-foot catamaran in the British Virgin Islands; a dwarf in Queensland, Australia, who was once famous for being tossed; a television beauty in her Santa Monica apartment; and a pimp in a Lincoln Continental and a hooker on a dark street corner (of course, you never smoke under the lamp).
I've smoked pot (and other things) with Gil Scott-Heron and Rick James. I once made Snoop Dogg cough with my own preferred strain, which I go to a lot of trouble to get. I smoked with Woody Harrelson in an underground parking lot using a health-conscientious vaporizer (plugged into a USB port in a hybrid car); as we were finishing, his friend David Blaine showed up and started doing card tricks. (Would you believe that Blaine, on regular outings, carries not just cards in his pockets but also a Sharpie to aid with tricks?) I've even smoked with my son—but only after he turned 18 and got his own medical marijuana card.
A number of years ago, I was doing bong hits with the comedian Roseanne after an interview at her house in Lake Arrowhead, California. At one point, after staring for some time into the roaring fire in the big fireplace, she said reflectively: "All hate is just fear. All fear is insecurity."
This statement floored me, stoned or not. It seemed to sum up all the problems of humanity, the reason for wars since the dawn of time. Ethnic groups, nations, members of the various religious flocks—it is our differing forms and contents that bedevil us. What's different is always considered bad, scary or threatening. (Unless, it suddenly becomes the thing to do.)
Sharing a bowl with someone, you take the opportunity to share a part of yourself. Some of it is physical—you're actually sitting together with this person or persons, handing something back and forth. Some of it is neurochemistry. It's called disinhibition, one of the effects of THC. Given this time together with someone else, engaged in a mutual pursuit, we unconsciously suspend our disbelief. Suddenly our differences don't seem as important as our communalities. If you can share your spit on a joint, the possibilities seem limitless, wouldn't you agree?

Actually research indicates that alcohol is the dangerous gateway drug, not cannabis. Alcohol also kills tens of thousands of people every year in the US, while cannabis kills...none.
A, did you just read the article above? ;) open your mind to prejudices man. Peace.
Oh, and the other thing I thought was: If you think weed leads to other, worse drugs, do you then think erotic images such as the most posted in this site i.e. would lead to rape or "worst sexual behaviors"? Come on dude, it's all in the mind, and selfcontrol. Knowing oneself ;)
I would love to translate articles as this for your Spanish publishings. If there is some way in which I could help you with this, please feel free to contact me, Playboy. Spread smart thinking is important in any language :)
Weed is bad it leads to worse and worse drugs. Just watch a episode of dragnet and friday will give you all the reasons not to do weed.Just say no
well thats a very uneducated statement.. there are more positives than negatives on weed do your research before you opening your ignorant arrogant hole on your face thank you =)

|A penny For Your Thoughts
As any new parent knows, babies have a very loud method of revealing their emotional state and it is by crying. It is frustrating to hear your baby cry and not be able to figure out why he is crying. You may have fed him, changed his diaper, burped and rocked him, but the little fellow is still crying. Oh, wouldn't it be nice to know what he wants?
Unfortunately, the baby handbook does not offer any details on how to determine what the crying means.
However, in the future we just may be able to tell what our baby wants by a new type of baby monitor the Japanese are working on.

I knew we adored you for a reason, C4.
William Moore has been pretty quiet this off-season, aside from the reports that he plans to test the open market. He may still be looking to get there, but his latest comments are a pretty strong indicator that he would like to return to Atlanta and that negotiations are underway.
Let's look at a quote from the latest Atlanta Journal-Constitution piece.
Athletes can say one thing and do another, and if Moore makes it to the open market, perhaps he'll bolt for more dollars in St. Louis or somewhere else. But the D-Block ties, the W.A.R. rap and more suggest that C4 genuinely likes it in Atlanta, and he's likely to get a nice contract to continue to be a beloved safety on a potential Super Bowl contender. What's not to like?
The only question, of course, is what he'll be paid if he does come back. We'll tackle what happens if he doesn't come back tomorrow morning, but for now, this is welcome news.
Let's hope Moore's on his way back to being part of a nice duo with Thomas DeCoud. Your thoughts?

Church leaders support 'redeemed' priest; others want him out

Catholic leaders should be accountable and respectful of their local cities. Law breakers should serve their punishments. Exorsisms, worshiping idols and icons, and placing deviates with the congregation may be the wishes of a few church leaders, but they should respect and abide by the standards of the neighborhoods. I saw Cardinal Mahoney on C-Span,last month, say he had no intention of obeying any immigration laws. Whether Pope, Cardinal, or church janitor they are expected to abide by all the laws of society which include laws pertaining to sexual deviants or illegal immigrants. Maybe our government should reconsider the church's tax exempt status, if they don't respect laws of our government.
on Nov 17, 2007 at 4:11 pm
I wonder how involved some of these offended members of CCOP. Are they in any of the ministries at the church? Do they support the church? Or are they ones that go to church on Sunday and you never see them helping out at St Vincent de Paul, having their children in the choir or altar servers, or in any of the ministries of the mass.
They are quick to judge, but what's in their background that would pass any investigation.

Sydney Observatory Bandstand - textured

Sydney Observatory Bandstand - textured
An alternative rendering of the panorama showing a high degree of texture detail in the scene. This was achieved by photographing in exposure brackets to capture both the dark shadows under the trees and the bright reflected light from the harbour. Then it was tonemapped using a special technique to bring out the detail.
View shows the old Sydney Observatory with its tarnished copper roof domes, a war memorial, and the inner harbour sits in front of northern Sydney CBD with the harbour bridge connecting them.

There are no kangaroos in Austria.
We're talking about Australia, the world's smallest continent. That being cleared up, let's dive right in!
Australia is a sovereign state under the Commonwealth of Nations, which is in turn overseen by Queen Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, Queen of Australia and Her other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth.
The continent was first sighted and charted by the Dutch in 1606. Captain James Cook of Britain came along in the next century to claim it for Britain and name it "New South Wales." Shortly thereafter it was declared to be a penal colony full of nothing but criminals and convicts, giving it the crap reputation you may have heard at your last cocktail party.
This rumor ignores 40,000 years of pre-European human history, especially the Aboriginal concept of Dreamtime, an interesting explanation of physical and spiritual reality.The two biggest cities in Australia are Sydney and Melbourne. Sydney is more for business, Melbourne for arts. But that's painting in very broad strokes. Take a whirl around the panoramas to see for yourself!

The trial is over, but the case of the little girl whose body was never found may never be truly closed. Today, Geralyn Graham, 67, was sentenced to 55 years in prison for child abuse and kidnapping, a sentence that means she probably won't set foot outside of prison again.
Geralyn Graham, 66, was accused of killing foster child Rilya Wilson, who disappeared a decade ago and whose body has never been found. During her trial, Geralyn's ex-lover testified to witnessing the woman abuse the 4-year-old in increasingly brutal and contrived ways. Rilya's name is an acronym for "Remember, I Love You Always."
A trial began today in a ten-year-old murder case that shook up the Department of Family Services in Florida and across the country. Geralyn Graham, 66, is being tried for the murder of foster child Rilya Wilson who disappeared a decade ago and whose body has never been found.

Yes you can. It would be more normal to express it in the plural, as in "His business activities are declining" [and you would always talk about "sales" rather than "sale" . You could also say it as "... is/are in decline". The same goes for "Standards of living".

Veteran's Day means different things to different people.
For retired Col. Ralph Puckett, it's an opportunity to tell the military story. Not his story, although Puckett's heroic actions as a U.S. Army Ranger in Korea and Vietnam are legend.He instead holds the words of General Dwight Eisenhower close to his heart."He said humility must always be the portion of any individual whose acclaim was earned by the blood of his soldiers. They're the ones who carried me on their shoulders. I would be nothing without them."For Toni Gross and her daughter Natalie, this is their second Veteran's Day without their loved one.Gross' only son Frank was killed in Afghanistan in July of last year. Mother and daughter were here for Monday's paver dedication along the Heritage Walk at thight e National Infantry Museum.
'It's hard to come here", said Gross. "There are a lot of wonderful memories that are evoked here at the National Infantry Museum. My son's still alive when I come here, in my heart and in my spirit."Gross now volunteers with the USO at the Tampa International Airport. She's found it's a way to honor her son's memory. Active duty soldiers were also giving back, as Ft. Benning troops paid their respects to World War Two veterans. The men and their families had come to the museum by bus from Dothan, Ala.

Apparently this is the best place to find beer in Lake Charles. I drove from Texas and came to this little joint. It looks like a run down gas station at first glance. Inside they are stocked up on:
Thomas Hardy
Ola Dubh 12, 16, 30
Flying Dog Garde Dog
Flying Dog Gonzo Imperial Porter
Unibroue 15 (two years old) and others
Rogue Dry Hopped Red, Uber Pils, Jazz and other bombers
Troegs Wheat, Doppelbock, Pils 6pks
Samichlaus and their Helles
St-Ambroise Oatmeal Stout
Alba Scots Pine Ale
Mikkeller Black
Mikkeller Beer Geek Breakfast
Mikkeller All Others Pale
Mikkeller Jackie Brown
etc etc etc...
The only problem there is that apparently nobody likes good beer around that area so all the beer just sits there. Most of the beer there was covered in dust and had black yeast in the bottles rendering them unwanted. The owner also wouldn't let you break 6pks! But out of all of the craziness, they did have this really hot cashier chick workin.

I'm really torn on this place. On the one hand, they've got selections available at Homsi's that just don't seem to show up anywhere else within a reasonable driving distance inside or outside of town. On the other hand, it's a bit of a crap-shoot whether the selection's you're going for is even going to be worth buying, as the stock seems to never move. Were the "back wall" in this place where the craft beers are located in a better store (or generally known about at all), and the stock rotated through quickly enough, I'd rate this place higher. As it stands, it looks like the owner took a chance on some of the beer in there being more popular than it actually is, and stuff has a tendency to just sit...and sit...and sit. That's fine for some of the stuff he's got (I don't mind at all if the bottle of Thomas Hardy sitting on the shelf has been there for 2 years), but for more volatile/faster degrading picks it can be a pain. Unlike some of the reviewers, I haven't had any issues with the owner. I found him friendly and helpful, though I haven't tried to split any packs in there.
Ultimately, this place is just really weird. To see it from the outside and then walk into the store, you'd never expect to see some of the crafts they've got in stock. I mean, honestly, it looks like the kind of place where you expect the transactions to take place through bulletproof glass with a shotgun under the counter.
One nice thing I have noticed there--they seem to be the first place in the area to pick up any new offerings/seasonals from Abita, which, due to their local popularity, seem to sell out quickly enough to avoid sitting on the shelves until they're covered in thick layers of dust.

This place has a very large selection of craft and import beers. They have several Mikkeller beers, Thomas Hardy's Ale, Ola Dubh's, and probably the only place in LA or TX that I have seen care Jolly Pumpkin. A great selection, but very pricey as well.
The bad part, as already mentioned is the service and quality. Lots of dust and unwanted aging for some beers. No service at all, just an old guy that stares at you as you look through the selection and a clueless cashier.
Overall, one damn fine selection (maybe one of the best I have seen). So just for that alone it is worth a visit. Though this place needs to take better care of the beer and customer.

Took a 3 hour car ride to get to this place, from Houston to Lake Charles; was it worth it....
Selection is kinda impressive, the guy could order a bunch more, had bits + pieces from Mikkeller, Troegs, 3 Fontein, Giradin, Oud Beersel, Zea, Harvieston, Rogue, Abita, crazy Lithuanian stuff, St-Ambroise, and Thomas Hardy..
impressed, i was until i got home...
This guy is in the wrong place, location and in his mind...
In the 30 minutes i was i the small aisle, probably 10 people came in and bought either a 32 ounce High Life, Schlitz Malt Liquor, or Bud Lite...Also, nearly all the bottles had some degree of dust, and some of the older bottles had lots of black sediment... over 50% i'd say were gone ...
and of the 12 bottles i bought, i have opened 8, 6 were bad...even after i checked and only took the better looking/date friendly bottles..
the guy running this place is a real prick, hovers at the endcap looking at me like i was going to steal, and no breaking six packs for someone willing to send hundreds .. but, the saving grace was the absolutely SmokiN hot chick working the counter..
you need good beer and are stuck in Lake Charles, try it out, but check every bottle for sediment and dust.. then throw it in the owners face.. just kidding Homsi.... then go gamble...

text: The end of summer is traditionally heralded by a variety of conferences which aptly illustrate the evolving range of "business tourism" on the Côte d'Azur. Europe£s most dynamic laser conference and the world's largest fundamental optics conference, for example, will be held at the Acropolis in Nice from September 10-15. The European Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics (CLEO) concentrates on the engineering and applications of lasers and electro-optic devices while the concurrent European and International Quantum Electronic Conference evaluates more fundamental research in non-linear optics, lasers and quantum optics. The combined CLEO/Europe-IQEC 2000 includes lectures, workshops and presentations detailing the latest developments in quantum electronics, optics, photonics, lasers and electro-optics. For additional information go to www.cleoeurope.com. Monaco, meanwhile, hosts a "High-Performance Investing" conference from September 12-14 which will enable qualified investors to meet with participating managers in a small group setting to discuss strategies, trends and concerns. The "High-Performance Investing" conference features a special tutorial presentation by Andrew W. Lo, a professor of Finance at MIT in Boston, and seminars with themes like "Macro Investing: Are Reports Of Its Demise Exaggerated?" and "The Mixed Grill: Due Diligence Discussions Between Investors and Managers." Participants include executives representing Bank Julius Baer, The Chase Manhattan Bank, Deutsche Asset Manager, HSBC Republic Bank, and Swissedge Services. For additional information go to www.imn.org/2000/a251/. Other conferences during the first half of September include MICAM 2000, an academic course on the "Integrated Management of Coastal Areas in The Mediterranean," which is underway in Sophia Antipolis until September 15; the European IT Forum, which will be held in Monaco from September 9-11; and the Congress of the International Psychogeriatric Association, which is expected to attract 1,000 participants to the Acropolis from September 9-14. In Cannes, the annual pleasure boat festival is taking place from September 6-11 while General Motors Opel is occupying the Palais des Festivals until September 20. More than 12,000 concessionaires from fifty countries will be present to participate in the launch of a new range of GM models.

I rant about the culture of outrage in modern society, how social media has viciously enabled rush to judgements without any care for due diligence, why the media perpetuates the cycle of outrage for the benefit of their bottom lines, and in light of the protests in Ferguson, why it's even more important to actually take meaningful action (physically or politically) rather than just give lip service to vital issues.
In addition, I explain the dead simple reason why Amazon acquired Twitch, why Coin can't skirt around existing regulations and still gain any type of useful adoption, how the spat between Uber & Lyft proves that neither company's leaders are mature enough to operate a legitimate business at scale, and how a new app proves just how insular and lazy San Francisco has become.

The US Economy — What's Wrong? How to Fix It
Why We Are Trapped in Recession
We're trapped because this recession is actually works like the Great Depression, and not like other recessions. But what's the trap?
Unemployment — (About 17 Million in January 2012)
From the end of 2007 until the end of Bush's last budget in Sept. 2009, America lost 10 million jobs. And, we're still missing those 10 million jobs. On top of that, the 7 million that are typically unemployed, now must look much longer for work.
The Super Rich
Our leaders have asked for "shared sacrifice." But when they did the asking, they spared me. I checked with my mega-rich friends to learn what pain they were expecting. They, too, were left untouched. While the poor and middle class fight ... Warren Buffet explains tax loopholes for the rich.
Democrats tax and spend. Republicans borrow and spend, which explains the deficit. As it turns out "tax and spend" is how you are supposed to govern. But there is method to the Republican madness. If you care about America, you might want to understand.
May 21, 2010. Hyperinflation has been a popular conservative topic since 2008 (Glenn Beck, Peter Schiff), but really, can you get any sillier? Trillions of dollars ago, at the start of the recession (Dec. 2007), inflation was about 2.4%. Now (Dec. 2011) it's about 2.1%. Hyperinflation? No, just ...>>
Wall Street Reform
So why did half the Republicans and most of the Democrats bail out Wall Street? Because Wall Street was holding a gun to America's head — Don't bail us and we'll wreck the economy. So the real question, why did some of the worst bandits get to keep a lot of the money. The answer is the same as for: Why can't we pass tough Wall Street regulations now?
Social Security
There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things [abolish social security]. Among them are ... a few other Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid [President Eisenhower]. Not much has changed. The Texan is Ron Paul, and the business men are the Koch brothers.

Falafel King recalls hummus, chili wraps
Last Updated: 16:31 February 21, 2014
No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with the products, said Anmon Gilady, an owner of the company. Boulder-based Falafel King Enterprises is the wholesale-product arm of the Boulder Falafel King restaurant chain.
Gilady said that chilies from Bueno Foods in Albuquerque, New Mexico, might be the origin of the potential listeria contamination.
Falafel King has switched to frozen green chilies from Vegetable Products in Salem, New Mexico, to use in its products, Gilady said. As an added precaution, company employees are heating Vegetable Products' chilies to a high temperature to kill bacteria before using them in Falafel's products, he said.
Falafel King's Hatch Green Chile Hummus comes in a 10-ounce clear plastic container with a black-rimmed lid. The recall sell-by dates are 2/14/2014 through 3/16/2014, which is printed above the back label of the container. The Hatch Green Chili Hummus Wrap is individually wrapped in clear plastic wrap. The wraps have a sticker printed with a "sell by" date of 01/28 through 02/27.
The Hatch Green Chile Hummus is one of Falafel King's most popular wholesale products, Gilady said. He estimates the company may lose about $20,000 from the recall. Company revenue was in the $2 million range in 2013, Gilady said.
"It's unfortunate. I eat it, and we take it home for dipping. We just decided to do this as a precaution to be extra careful. We want customers to be super protected," Gilady said.
Falafel King's products have no preservatives and a 30-day shelf life. The recall is dated back to Friday, Feb. 14, which is when Falafel King became aware of the Bueno Foods issue, Gilady said. The company decided to issue the voluntary recall for the 30-day period in question after consulting with U.S. Food and Drug Administration officials, he said.
Symptoms of listeriosis, the illness caused by the bacteria, include headache, nausea, stiffness, abdominal pain and diarrhea. The illness can cause stillbirth and miscarriage in pregnant women.

Thanks (I guess. . . well I didn't have to buy, so it had that going for it) to koufax21 for bringing this to March Madness 2012.
Dark yellow pour with lots of haze. Weird head formation, lots of carbonation, but they never amount to anything that retains itself, its just upward effervesence that drifts off into the atmosphere. Aroma was floral pungency, like cheap perfume where the alcohol is really prominent and aged on soaked rotting wood.
Taste, ugh, alcohol still really prominent, and not in a nice warming kind of way. Some wheat mouthfeel if you can hack through the alcohol. Coriander used with a heavy hand. Slight banana yeast flavor. Plenty bready. Lots of pale malt. Sweetness as if it was a corn based malt liquor moreso than whatever the hell it really is. A hodgepodge of stuff. Mostly terrible stuff.
What is really appalling is the price tag on these, they're still sitting at $19.99 in Reno, at the end of 2012. Would never buy at a price tag above $1.

Had this Saturday night rather than champagne.Poured into a pilsner glass a straw hazed color with spritzy head atop,pretty much what was expected.Aromas are light with toasted bread and some pear notes,flavors are decent but they became a little to sweet after awhile.Caramel/butter flavors mixed with some greenapple-like tartness,the alcohol began to creep and bring the sweetness level way up after about mid bottle.Not as bad in my opinion as many others think but it's not great by any means and overpriced,glad I tried it.

Wonderful looking corked bottle. Extra points for presentation. As for the pour, nice orange colour with a medium off-white head. Unfortunately, the head disappears rather quickly and the beer is left looking flat and boring.
The nose is the best part of this beer. Some breadiness and yeast along with sweet, ripened fruits. Promising.
The taste of this beer is where it fell apart for me. Not what I was expecting at all and not a pleasant surprise either. Overly sweet. Very little complexity or balance. Somewhat medicinal. Hints of apricot where burried underneath the sugary sweetness and an off flavour I can't put my finger on. Almost reminded me of Tang drink crystals.
I actually wondered if this was actually the beer they intended to brew or did I open a ridiculously off bottle?
If not for the extra marks given for presentation, my score would have been even lower. I don't find anything pleasant about this beer & I doubt I will ever buy another.

A: Pale gold and very effervescent having a large, rocky off-white head with a moderate retention time. The overall appearance is that of a champagne.
S: Yeast and hops on the first sniff with the yeast quickly dissipating. The moderate Noble hops aroma dominates having floral and citrus notes. The moderately-light malt aroma is toasty and biscuity.
T: This is dry having a medium bitterness with a touch of sour. There is a moderate lemony hops flavor with a light florar note. A touch of sweetness chows itself mid-palate but is quickly overtaken by a dry bitter finish. There is some fermentation derived fruitiness that like a light peach and very light apricot.
O: This is a lot more appealing to those seeking a beer alternative to champagne with a solid bitterness and a dry refreshing finish that works well on its own or paired with dessert, fish or a light salad.
Note: Nothing like the one I had last year where the residual sweetness was just short of cloying. I'm not sure f the bottle was infected, if it is it's in a good way, but I don't care because dry is good and sour is great in my book.

Found this 2010 vintage in the Cork and Keg in Julington Creek. 25.00 bucks for one hell of a dry Mother.
A- Poured into a champ. glass producing a hefty white head that falls to a sticky froth and ring.
S- Sweet dextrin and mild malts uphold the front of this biere. Malted apple juice is in the backbone.
T-M- Rotten apple jucie is upfront with very bubbly aftermath... Slightly sour and sweet with mixes of hard cider alcohol equals a ok beer. Mouthfeel is hot in esters of alcohol but unique in flavor.
Overall a expensive drink but worth tring it...

I had this beer twice within the last week or so and this review is a composite of both those tastings.
750mL bottle poured into some tulip and snifters shared among friends both times.
The cork comes out with a loud pop and a pours a crystal clear yellow golden color with a white head that dies quickly. As promised a strikingly champagne like bubbles rise from the bottom of the glass. I kind of wish I used an etched bottom glass with this beer.
And then it goes downhill...
The first time I had it the aroma had a huge acidic bite to it, I couldn't pinpoint the exact aroma but a friend suggested malt vinegar. I didn't get that smell exactly but I could see the resemblance, I just didn't pick up as much acetic character. My second tasting lacked the acidity but made up for it in diacetyl. For the most part I find it hard to detect diacetyl, it's a trait not that uncommon and from tasting diacetyl doctored samples of beers I know I'm not sensitive to it. In order for me to get that aroma from a beer the levels have to be pretty high. The aroma just wasn't anything close to what I would consider appealing.
Flavor-wise it was better but not by much. Both tasting were pretty much just a highly carbonated acidic version of a light bodied light colored lager.
The diacetyl didn't come through as much in the taste but the intense oiliness of the chemical does. The high amount of carbonic acid in the beer just adds to the acid taste and harsh mouthfeel. Drinkability it's ok, nothing too revolting but just disappointed in a beer I looked so forward too.
Overall this is just a terrible value. I'm 'glad' I was able to snag one for only $16. I really appreciate the techniques used in this beer and how that justifies the cost but it's just a disappointing beer. I hope if move forward with other batches they will take steps to improve it into a good tasting champagne-like beer.

A - Clear golden straw color with high carbonation. Nice high, white head that fades quickly to a covering.
S - Lots of fruitiness on the nose, but a lambic like sourness as well.
T - Lots of light malt flavors with a good dose of ripe fruit. Then that sourness hits again, perhaps what is good in a champagne is coming through too strong and even a bit of an offensive aftertaste.
M - Nice light feel with a crisp finish, accentuated with a alcohol warmth.
D - I must admit, I am glad this is a limited release...not too many people should have to spend so much on it.

A Christmas gift from a friend. Thanks, Steve.
In a flute, the beer was a golden color with an off-white head. Lots of carbonation. There was even a tiny bit of lace.
Nice aroma. Sugary sweet, fruit, peppery in the nose.
It tasted like a candied apple, with a late hit of hops.
Sweet, bubbly.
Very good.

2010 bottling. About 6 months after the best by data
A - Pours a clear copper with a finger of white head. Head doesn't last long or leave lacing.
S - a bit musty, huge alcohol notes and some fruit notes.
T - Starts with some slightly tart fruit, then the mustiness takes over. Alcohol noticeable in the taste as well. Heavier taste than I was expecting. Not sure what to think of this. Not great, but not horrible.
M - Medium mouthfeel. Actually a bit creamy.
O - Not sure how this was when fresh, but as is, it isn't something I would want to have again.

This is probably one of the coolest looking beer i have ever seen.
With a smell of sour grapes, feel of malted barley, with a slight aroma of hops, neither sweet nor bitter but balanced, smooth texture and feel, and retains a medium head on the glass.

Presentation: It was poured from a very cool champagne style bottle into a Flute Glass. The bottle is 750ml and comes corked and caged. This bottle is labeled 2010 with 10.3% abv. It also comes with a small leaflet describing the beer and the collaboration with Weihenstephan.
Appearance: The body has a clear orange amber body with tons of effervescent carbonation rushing up to the bright white head. The head is tall and lightly packed with tiny loosely packed bubbles that settle quickly. It looks very much like champagne but with a much deeper colored body.
Smell: The first thing that hit me was a wave of heavy alcohol, which I was not expecting. I knew it was 10.3% but it just hit me with a brandy or cognac like boozy character with some fruity white grape, caramel/candy covered apple and light banana notes. I also get some spicy and dry dusty basement like yeast notes in the nose as well.
Taste/Palate: It starts with a big boozy malty sweetness. There are notes of boozy grapes, caramel and sweet red apple inside the maltiness with some very mellow hops creeping in. They bring some light citrus and slight herbal, grassy, almost mint like hop notes to the party. The hops however, offer very little to balance the malt sweetness and it becomes cloying after a few sips. The mouth feel is a bit heavier than I was expecting but bubbly. The carbonation keeps the palate from getting sticky but I still fined it uneasy to drink.
Notes: I am a big fan of both the Boston Beer Co and Weihenstephan but I feel this beer doesn't live up to its hype or price tag. The look and aroma are interesting but it all falls apart in the taste and feel. This beer comes off as complex in flavor but in a convoluted way. Its way to sweet for me and nothing really coalesces in my opinion.

750ml brown magnum. Corked, caged and foiled. 2010 vintage date on the foil.
Lots of hype around this brew before the release. The head is nearly explosive which obviously shows a lot of carbonation here, Crystal clear pale amber color with some bubble action. Sweet nose of fresh baked bread, taffy, nougat, faint dried tropical fruit and a light chalky yeast. Massive crispness cuts a little bit into the sizable body, a sweeter palate here which I expected something a bit dryer. Odd dextrin sweetness clashes against a boozy alcohol, reminiscent of a clean malt liquor. Fruitiness of white cherries and ripe pears is nearly missed as the alcohol drops a peppery warmth on the palate. Malty? Sure ... some bread and dried grass. Hops are present with herbal tones but seems to just add a bit of flavor than balance. Semi-sweet finish with lots of booziness on the breath.
Hmm ... not what I expect at all. The sweetness and boozy character threw me for a loop and makes it hardly drinkable at all. Not sure if any length of cellaring will even help this beer. While I applaud the efforts from packaging to the idea this ends up being a miss for me.

Popped this on New Year's Eve with good friends
Appearance: one inch head, clear, light gold in color, high carbonation
Smell: toasted malt and light spices.
Taste: toasted malt, dry hops, bread, little honey, and slight citrus fruit
Mouthfeel: light bodied, high carbonation, dry, slightly sweet
Drinkability: Interesting and very dry. A decent beer, but nothing I would ever get again especially for the price. Not bad, but I would sooner get a sparkling wine for these same characteristics.

The beer pours a clear golden color with a white head. The aroma is very sugary, along with a little bit of butter, wheat and citrus notes. Not sure why, but the aroma reminds me quite a bit of circus peanuts. The flavor is wheat, grain, bubblegum, more circus peanuts, alcohol and some citrus - lemons and oranges. The flavor is very sugary and boozy, so maybe this would benefit from some aging. Medium mouthfeel and a very high, prickly carbonation.
The beer is not bad, but for the $20 price tag and all of the hype surrounding it, I was very disappointed. Overall, the beer is a boozy, sweet mess with a lot of different flavors and aromas that don't meld well together. I expected more from two world-class breweries. Glad I got to try it, but at an extremely high price point, I will not try it again.

Poured vigorously into a mini Stella glass, requiring a good three top ups to finish the bottle. The pour left an incredible amount of foam - three or four inches - that took a great deal of time to settle to sippable levels. Naturally, there was tons of lacing and solid retention on the head here. The brew is a hazy pale orange, not entirely unlike sparkling grapefruit juice. No sediment that I can detect, however.
The nose is, well, complex. It took us several whiffs to figure things out. I get sparkling white wine, yeast, bread crumbs, hints of apricot, peach, sugar and light spices. Smells a great deal like a fruity Belgian tripel, except with a little funky musk that fits in more with a lambic style brew.
The brew is certainly effervescent, but thicker and less aggressively carbonated than a champagne - as to be expected for a champagne beer. The taste is musky and yeasty, but with a dry fruit character of tart apple, white wine, apricot and cherry. While not as malty as I'd thought, there is a nice bready character to it as well. Finishes tart, no hops to speak of, but sweeter than I was expecting. There's something a bit strange about this brew that I can't quite put my finger on. I think like it...I think....do I?
I guess I have to side with the folks who like the beer, as I usually do. Infinium landed somewhere in the middle of champagne and beer, but didn't really do anything to make me want to abandon either one. Too sweet for a champagne, too mixed-bag for a beer with the malts and yeasts fighting it out, but then again, it didn't taste bad either. I finished it, no problem, and the wife loved it. Hmmm. Um...sorry folks, I'm not sure where that leaves you. If you're looking for a definitive answer, I'm not going to be much help. Try it yourself and see what you think. It's not something I'm liable to get more of, for the price point and considering that I can get Fin du Monde, Weihanstephaner and a small bottle of Trocken for around the same price.

Had to try this one so I broke down and bought one.
Appearance: Cloudy, orange like color with a lot of carbonation. Significant white head.
Smell: Sweet and alcohol. Not much more.
Mouthfeel/Taste: Light bodied, interesting balance of flavors, but not in a good way. Alcohol was the dominant feature here. I could taste the champagne part of it and the dry after taste to go with it. Beer flavors were there but only in the background.
Overall: Glad I tried it, but won't buy it again. It was more of a novelty toy beer than something to have more than once as a taste. Little disappointed with Sam Adams on this one. However I I ranked this high on taste because of the uniqueness of this brew.

750ml fancy bottle poured into a Duvel tulip.
Pours a very light crisp and clear yellow/light amber - it's like a dark champagne. The head is giant, filled my tulip right to the brim with head (along with ~2" of liquid), tons of bubbles ripping up from the nucleation etching on my glass. Nose is a bit odd, there's bready yeast, some banana, and almost a yogurt scent - quite odd.
First off, the mouthfeel is quite light which I feel is correct, but the carbonation seems just a bit off, it's very fine and light and I feel like there should be a bit more. Taste is still quite fruity - banana and yogurt is what I'm tasting, not sure if this is intentional or not. The finish is a bit sweet as well. It's a decent beer, but at $17.99 it's not worth it at all.

Select Route:
You can string a rope between the first and second pinnacles to make a fairly exposed tyrolean traverse. The two giant, flatiron's style eyebolts at the top of the pinnacles make for some bomber anchors. The crux is in getting the rope across the gap without the rope snagging on something. I found it's easiest to climb the downclimb routes for both.
Approach via the west side of the second pinnacle. I anchored the second pinnacle first via the downclimb and dragged the rope around and up the first pinnacle downclimb. You may want to bring jumars if doing manly upside down hand over hand is too hard, and you don't want to get stuck in the middle of the rope.
You can protect the two downclimbs, but you'd need a second rope for that. Why bother? Use the gigantic eyebolts located at the top of the pinnacles for bomber anchors. Alternately, sling or tie the rope around the huge knob that is directly in line between the two bolts.

PHOENIX -- Police said they arrested a man for pointing a laser light at a Phoenix police helicopter flying over an apartment complex.
Police said that 21-year-old Antonio Rodriguez was jailed on suspicion of two counts of endangerment.
The two officers aboard the helicopter late Tuesday night spotted the suspect and led police on the ground to the apartment complex, where Rodriguez was found.
It's the second instance this month of citizens pointing laser beams at law enforcement helicopters. Two men and two women were arrested last week at a midtown apartment complex for the same offense.

Fabric Friday: Baking days
This week's Fabric Friday is inspired by our love of cake, baking and tasty, tasty treats
[Clockwise from top-left] We heart cake, there's nothing else to it and the Alegria design represents this nicely. Cups and 'pots aplenty from Michael Miller and co. The perfect accompaniment to a well-earned cake. Cloud 9's peachy keen stripes remind us of cupcake cases and baking tin liners. We'd love to see this on a bolster cushion, apron or handmade duvet cover. Everything's better with sprinkles on top, right? Pretty pattern by ModGeek.
