Behind the Scenes: After detailing the planning stages last issue, SRO joins the technical team as they stage Starbucks Convention events.
Editor's Note: Last issue, we followed the planning steps taken by Tempe, Ariz.-based AV Concepts, as the company prepared to provide A/V services for coffee-giant Starbucks' March 2004 Seattle Leadership Conference. Starbucks asked Production Support Services, Seattle, to produce the event, and that company brought AV Concepts onto the project to provide state-of-the-art technology to give attendees an immersive way to absorb Starbucks' corporate message. This issue, Matt Hurwitz offers a first-person, behind-scenes account of the event, from load-in to breakdown. Hurwitz spent time observing the AV Concepts crew and its interaction with the Production Support Services team, outside vendors, and the various venues throughout the three-day event.
It's February, and about 6,500 Starbucks employees are wending their way to Seattle for the Starbucks Leadership Conference. Starbucks officials, producers from Production Support Services, and the AV Concepts team have a lot of work to do in the next four days. The crew will install, operate, and break down events in three locations in downtown Seattle.
Four types of programs will comprise the convention: a welcome session and general session at Key Arena, located within the city's Seattle Center; breakout sessions at the Washington State Convention and Trade Center (WSCTC), located about a mile away from Key Arena; additional breakout meetings at the Seattle Center Conference Center; and banquet/awards dinners, also held at the WSCTC.
The breakout sessions were scheduled to take place on Sunday, Feb. 29, and Monday, March 1, at the WSCTC and Wednesday, March 3, at both the WSCTC and the Seattle Center. Monday evening, March 1, a large welcome session would also take place at Key Arena, with welcome speeches and a Brian McKnight concert. Tuesday, March 2, the general session will take place at the Key Arena, with all employees in attendance, Starbucks providing a variety of presentations and company skits and hosting keynote speaker Erin Brockovich. On Tuesday and Wednesday evening, awards dinners will take place in ballrooms at the WSCTC for three of the company's business units each night (i.e., three one night and the remaining three the following night).
AV Concepts' Jesse Lawson and Brian Mitrisin managed the Key Arena, banquets, and the breakout sessions. The company's account executive, Mitch Teitelbaum, (see March/April SRO for Teitelbaum's project diary), was also on hand during the conference.
At 6 p.m., the AV Concepts truck arrives and unloads gear for the breakout sessions at the WSCTC's 4th floor loading dock. Teitelbaum, his three project managers, and show designer/producer Brad Mace,Production Support Services, are all on hand.
The breakout equipment is offloaded and brought to a small meeting room on the Convention Center's 2nd floor, which serves as a staging area for the breakout team. The gear is sorted by category, from which crew members fill carts with the required equipment for each of the 16 rooms to be set up that night. The team has until 7 a.m. to build the rooms.
"It always takes as much time as we have available," says Mike Barlin, who assists Mitrisin and also serves as lead for the Seattle Center breakout meetings. "We're hoping this will take six or seven hours, and we'll be out by 2 or 3 a.m."
Each room is laid out according to plans drawn up by Production Support Services' Greg Bakke, who worked with Mace, AV Concepts, and Starbucks to decide room size and program requirements and what equipment each room will have. For the most part, each room will have the same A/V gear.
Depending on size, each breakout room contains one or two LCD video projectors — either 4k Christie LX41s, projecting onto a 9'×12' screen, or, for the smaller rooms, a Proxima DP-6850, throwing onto a 7.5 '×10' surface. A VHS deck is available for video playback of pre-recorded materials, prepared by the client.
Each room has a Mackie VLZ-1202 12×2 mixer, with a Klark DN360B EQ and a Tascam rackmounted CD player. Two Shure MX-18 wireless mics are provided, as well as two SM58 handheld mics. Audio played through a pair of EAW KF300IR speakers, powered by a tri-amped 4800W Crown Macrotech amp rack (close-coupled with an MX300i processor), with self-powered Mackie SRM-450s in the smaller rooms.
According to Lawson, using RF mics in big cities like Seattle, presents challenges. "There's a problem with running out of frequencies — the mics tend to introduce cross-talk from room-to-room," he says. "Digital television stations are occupying some of the frequencies previously allotted to wireless mics. It's actually beginning to make some equipment obsolete, because none of the frequencies a transmitter has are available any longer."
Attendees from Starbucks' Canadian and Northeastern zones, who arrived the day before, are now busy learning about coffee and customer service, while the breakout team ties up loose ends.
"Getting the rooms up and running, that's really the hard part, except for adds or changes," says Mitrisin. "But they're pretty self-sufficient once they're up."
Mitrisin was scheduled to leave at midnight, giving lead technicians responsibility for complete setup. Instead, the entire breakout setup crew worked until 5:30 a.m.
"The breakout manager is often an unsung position," explains Teitelbaum. "This show's got 26 breakout rooms — there are shows with over 100 breakout rooms, with one guy heading it all. It's unbelievable the organizational skills needed to keep all of that in order."
The crew will return at 2 p.m. When the breakout sessions finish at 4:30 p.m., some of the rooms will be reset, while others will host casual dinners and pre-function events, so they must be changed over in an hour. Following the dinners, the crew will spend the early hours of the night resetting the rooms for breakout meetings the following day.
At 1 a.m., Key Arena is still bustling with activity since the previous night's concert by vocalist Sarah Brightman is still clearing out, with workers cleaning up chalk marks and confetti from the floor.
The first trailer backs into the single loading dock. A total of eight trailers will deliver show goods over the next several hours, four of which contain AV Concepts' gear.
Lawson and company co-owner Fred Mandrick watch as the centerpiece of the general session is unloaded from the truck: a 66'×20' Stewart AeroView 100 projection screen, which will display widescreen images during the general session. The screen is fragile and expensive, so Mandrick personally supervises its installation.
While the screen is being unloaded, Lawson and the crew from I.A.T.S.E. Local 15 begin chalking the floor and hanging points — a total of 40 — which takes several hours.
"Key Arena is not a simple venue for hanging points," explains Mace. "Most venues are on a grid, and you just go up and drop. The structure here is more complicated, requiring baskets and bridles. We did a four-hour call and came in and pre-measured and pre-built the steel. But, even then, once you get off the grid, it can be 25 or 30 minutes a point in this house."
Nonetheless, things move along at a pretty good clip.
"These guys are averaging 15 minutes a point, which is amazing," says Mace. "This [union local] just has a depth of quality of labor — everyone really stepped up."
The riggers hang four trusses. A 120ft. truss upstage supports three screens — the 66ft.-wide center screen for the ultra-wide display, and two 15'×20' side screens, which are positioned vertically, or "portrait style" for IMAG. Two lighting trusses are placed mid-stage, with another located over the audience.
At 3 a.m., after the last AV Concepts truck has left the dock, Seattle-based Carlson Audio's truck arrives carrying supplemental audio gear, followed 45 minutes later by the first of Seattle-based Christie Lite's two semis full of additional lighting gear.
Despite the late hour, owner Mark Carlson is handling the audio delivery himself. "I don't do too many midnight load-ins anymore," Carlson says. "The crew doesn't need to be here yet. I'm here because it's my name that's on the box. Plus, I'm a glutton for punishment."
Projectionist Richard Vinson, from AV Concepts' San Diego office, assembles the truss designed to support the massive 20'×66' screen. Vinson was originally slated to work as a video lead for one of the Convention Center banquets, but he was called into duty as a replacement projectionist for a peer who had a family emergency.
"Family emergencies are really tough in this job," says Teitelbaum.
Mitrisin agrees. "With crews on the road for a good part of the year, we are all cognizant of the fact that emergencies happen and we must pull together as a team," he says.
The truss and screen were to have been constructed on the south end of the arena floor, beneath the riggers' work, while the stage was assembled on the north end, to be later rolled into place once lights and audio were hung. Concern arises, however, about the way in which the truss and screen assembly will be lifted into place off the floor.
The truss is composed of 8ft. segments of 12in. box truss, and is designed to be supported from the top, suspended from the 120ft. overall truss. At points a quarter inch from the ends, two additional vertical members are to be attached to the bottom member of the truss, extending down to the floor to prevent that bottom member from sagging, once the structure is hung from above.
Mandrick is concerned that assembling the truss at the lighting location and then lifting it off of the floor would put undue stress on the bottom member of the truss, causing severe deflection. After discussion with the head rigger, Jay Wallace, it is decided to build the truss and screen on the stage surface. The crew then rolls the stage and screen into place beneath the lights and carefully lifts the truss, leaving the bottom edge bearing on the edge of the stage until the bottom support legs can support the bottom member, preventing the deflection. Building the screen away from where the riggers are working avoids any risk of damage to the screen, in case an item should accidentally fall from above.
By 4 a.m., Vinson assembles the truss, Mandrick unpacks and assembles the anodized aluminum support tube to which the screen will be attached. The tube will be connected to the inside edge of the 67'×21' clear opening of the truss using clamps. The screen will then be attached to the tube using small bungees with hooks, a system known as "lace and grommet."
"Because these screens are so unique, you can't just call somebody in Seattle and say, 'send over another one,'" says Teitelbaum. "We always carry a backup with us." The backup is a less expensive screen made of similar rear-screen material.
By 5 a.m., the tube is attached to the truss, and plastic sheeting is laid down on the stage surface into the clear opening of the frame to prevent the front of the screen from coming in contact with any dirt or becoming damaged. Wearing rubber gloves, the crew carefully lifts the rolled-up screen surface from its shipping container.
Mandrick and another crew member slowly unroll the screen. The material is rolled up with sheets of paper, to prevent the layers of the plastic screen surface from sticking to each other, and these are removed once the screen is unfurled. Once in place, the crew then attaches the bungees to the edge of the screen.
Lighting instruments are being attached and connected to the 16in. box and "swing wing" trusses. The fixtures consist of conventional Source 4 lights, PARS, and Mac 2000 moving lights, which will be controlled by an M.A. Lighting Grand MA 4000.
The rigging crew is hanging 24 EAW KF-760 line arrays, supplemented by 8 EAW KF-761s as down fill, and 24 EAW SB-1000 subwoofers, placed at the foot of the stage. Front-of-house will be controlled with a Midas XL4 56 channel console, while the monitors will be mixed through Midas's Heritage 3000 desk.
At 5 a.m., both Teitelbaum and Mace arrive. Mace has been supervising by telephone during the night. The producer is pleased with what he sees.
"This was an incredibly tight, aggressive, load-in schedule, coming hard on the heels of the Sarah Brightman show," Mace says. "The time spent in preproduction is really paying off, and all of the crews are doing a great job on this, everybody has really ponied up."
At 6 a.m., the video crew installed the IMAG/video record switching system, along with cameras, the Montage video processing system, a playback and record system, and a Vista/Folsom control system. The playback and record system are composed of a Quvis Qubit HD hard drive player, Sony HDW-500 HD Beta player, four Doremi hard drive players, two Beta PV-2650 players, and six PV-2850 Beta recorders.
At 7 a.m., the banquet gear arrives at the Convention Center. There will be three banquet rooms at the site — rooms 6E, 6ABC, and 4B. While the two rooms on the 6th floor are already true banquet rooms, 4B has a concrete floor and fluorescent lights. Carpeting and dimmable lighting, consisting of PARS hung from lighting trusses suspended lengthwise down the center of the room, are installed there.
The three individual rooms that make up 6ABC were used as breakout rooms, so the breakout gear has to be removed for the room to be a banquet room.
Each of the banquet rooms has a pair of double-stacked, video projectors and screens, video cameras, switching/recording/playback gear, and audio systems for speech and for a DJ to play dance music.
Room 6ABC has Christie LX-100 10k projectors and 15'×20' screens; 4B has Christie Roadster S9 9k projectors and 15'×20' screens; and 6E has 4k Roadsters with 12'×16' screens.
Each room also has a pair of triax cameras, switched through either a Sony composite switcher or a Grass Valley switcher and fed through a Folsom ScreenPro Plus scaler. VHS and Betacam SP decks provide playback, while hard disc recorders provide recording capability.
Audio is mixed through 24×8 DDA-CS8-24 consoles, with a simple effects rack. Each room has four Shure MX-18 wireless mics and four Shure SM58 handhelds. Room 6ABC gets six EAW KF-850EFs and SB-850 subwoofers; 4B has Meyer M2D line arrays; and 6E has EAW KF-650ISR/Es and subwoofer cabinets.
Lighting consists of combinations of Source Fours with some gobos, Technobeam, and Mac 500 moveable lights, controlled with Echelon consoles, and mirror balls and hazer/foggers.
Mitrisin keeps things running smoothly. More than 30 audio, video, and lighting technicians handle set-up.
By 3:20 p.m., things have progressed at Key Arena. Brian McKnight begins his sound check only 20 minutes past the scheduled start time — an accomplishment that doesn't escape Mace's notice.
"The only thing that changed from the original plan was building the screen on the stage and then rolling it all into place," Mace explains. "This pushed the scenic load a bit, but that only affected the overall production schedule by 20 minutes. I credit that to the technical vendors, some flexibility in the preproduction planning, and the quality of the local crews."
Projectionists Vinson and Charlotte Ibarra spent the afternoon aligning the six video projectors (three double-stacked) behind the ultra-wide screen. The Roadster S9 9k projectors must each be adjusted using built-in test pattern grids, which Vinson uses to converge the projectors. A 25 percent overlap is introduced between projector images. The devices are then further aligned with test images generated by the Montage system. It's a tedious process.
In a more typical venue, Vinson would triangulate distances using a tape. In this case, with the projectors located on a mezzanine of a sports arena, it isn't feasible to stretch a tape from lens to screen.
Vinson learned the new alignment process in-house while preparing for the event. "The first system they did, I messed around with it for several weeks at our shop, trying various things to get the blend right," he says.
The welcome session begins, with several speakers followed by a concert by Brian McKnight. The team in Video Village is fully engaged. Located behind the stage, the video station has everything from video switching and graphics control to Montage control systems and teleprompting.
Four triax cameras run through Camera Control Units (CCUs), housed with routers, waveform generators, and other equipment in a single, large case in the middle of the control area.
"It's pretty much the whole system in one case," explains Teitelbaum. IMAG is sent through two switchers — a Grass Valley component switcher that sends the signal to tape, and a Vista Systems 1202 that sends it through Folsom VFC-2200 scalers and on to the Christie 12k Roadie projectors, projecting on the outboard IMAG screens.
During the concert, video director Rick Portin switches cameras for IMAG, while AV Concepts' engineer-in-charge (EIC), Larry May, operates a shader. McKnight, who is wearing a bright white shirt, washes out if the camera switches to his image without constant aperture control adjustment.
Montage programmer and operator Abe Hermosillo takes advantage of the brief downtime when only IMAG is running on the side screens, to load various video clips into the video system hard drive for use in the following day's general session. The projectionists are also hard at work, continuing their projector alignment work for the widescreen display.
At 8 a.m., the centerpiece of the convention begins — the general session. All 6,500 attendees are present, watching skits, listening to speakers, and watching presentations by executives who make full use of the enormous PowerPoint and high-definition video presentations that tower above them.
A wide variety of media is fed to the Montage SC-3200 controller, including IMAG, pre-recorded video, and a mind-boggling assortment of PowerPoint images, created by graphics designer/operator Joel Buchholz. Working in conjunction with creative director John Barry and Starbucks' Marty Fisher, Buchholz created approximately 500 individual slides to be used as backgrounds to video or in text presentations.
During four different show segments throughout the day, speakers signal Buchholz to change slide images using a handheld signal button, which illuminates an indicator near Buchholz's workstation. Presenters are provided pairs of monitors in front of the stage — confidence monitors — showing the images as they appear on the ultra-wide screen above them, along with teleprompting.
The Montage system receives the images from Buchholz, tape/hard drive, and other sources and combines them into pre-set windows pre-programmed during a session that took place a week earlier at AV Concepts' Tempe office.
A presentation window for a particular speaker, for example, might contain a background image with text graphics being sent from Buchholz's station, with a high-resolution picture-in-picture (PIP) video image window in the left-hand portion of the image, playing a video on the topic being covered, fed by the hard drive. Within that presentation window, Buchholz feeds follow-up slides or text. On cue from production stage managers Cherese Campo and Paula Sanchez, Hermosillo advances to the next preset, again drawing image data from the various sources.
Back at the Convention Center, Mitrisin and his teams put the finishing touches on the three banquet rooms, in preparation for the evening's banquets.
"The unload for the gear for these rooms went smoothly, which made setup go flawlessly," Mitrisin says. "All the gear that was supposed to go into each room made it without any real mix-ups. All of that because we did our job in prep."
Meanwhile the breakout supervisor sees something he hasn't seen in a few days — a whole night's sleep, which he'll need for tonight's work. While no meetings are taking place at the Convention Center during the day, and the General Session is going on at the Key Arena, eight of the breakout rooms are turned into pre-function rooms, and then will have to be reset as breakouts after 1 a.m. for Wednesday's meetings. In addition, banquet room 6C (from the composite 6ABC banquet room) will be turned back into a breakout room for Wednesday, only to be converted back to the 6ABC banquet room later that evening.
Breakout sessions continue throughout the day, both at WSCTC and at Seattle Center. At 5 p.m., after the last session closes, the breakout gear is broken down and struck for load-out. Banquet gear follows, later that night, after the last three banquets.
It was, as Mace says, "a big show." More than 90 individuals setting up and operating equipment for 6,500 Starbucks employees. The hard work paid off.
"I ran into Marty Fisher last night, who said, 'Let's get together next week and start talking about next year,'" a tired Teitelbaum says on his way out of town. "That's what makes it all worth it. A flawless show and chance to do it all over again."

"Animal rescue is not something anyone wants to do, because it is a thankless, heartbreaking, profitless undertaking," Jackson wrote in a letter recently presented to the Sumiton City Council.
She joined forces with a dedicated rescuer who was already working on a small scale to rehome pets whose owners had died or become unable to care for them. This rescuer already had a facility that was well-equipped for cats, but did not have the manpower to take animals on in large numbers. The women, along with a group of volunteers, took 24 cats and kittens from the shelter.
One of the small kittens died, despite veterinary intervention and care. All of the cats and kittens were suffering from internal parasites, fleas, ear mites and upper respiratory infections. After receiving care, most of those animals are ready to be adopted.
Jackson said she and the others involved in the rescue are devoted to the focus of caring for the animals and providing a safe, healthy environment for the animals in their care.
"The "Do-Gooders" that mean well, aren't to be faulted, but when it comes to their failure to care for those animals or keep them from harm, they must be held accountable. You can't 'mean well' and do poorly and it be acceptable," Jackson continued in the letter.
For that reason, the women are dedicated to keeping the number of animals in the facility low enough to manage, meaning that they need to see some adoptions before they take on any more animals at the present time. In order to prevent the large number of "drop-off" animals that plague and overcrowd area shelters and vet clinics, the location is not open to the public at this time.
They eventually hope to be able to take in cats, kittens, dogs and puppies, but they don't want to overload their capacity of care.
"We'd love to get bigger, as long as it's done right," Jackson said.
The group has a commercial space to house the animals, as well as an attached residential space for a caregiver.
The space has new heating and air units, separate areas for sick cats to be isolated and is already paid for, lessening the shelter's overhead costs.
The organization is beginning the process of applying for 501(c)3 nonprofit status currently, but they are in need of supplies to keep the facility running, as the current cat population is going through approximately 16 pounds of cat and kitten food each day.
The wish list includes Purina cat and kitten food (a consistent diet means less medical issues and upset stomach, Jackson said), Tidy Cat scoopable litter, cleaning supplies, Clorox Clean Up, paper towels, towels, cash, gift cards to area grocery stores and heavy-duty garbage bags.
Anyone interested in helping with vet bills or covering the cost of a spay or neuter can pay the vet of their choice directly, and Jackson said she or another volunteer will get the animal to that vet.
Donations can be dropped off to Jackson at Sumiton Animal Clinic on Main Street.
A volunteer has set up a Facebook page at www.Facebook.com/LaborofLoveRescue.

4.22/5 rDev +11.6%
A - barely made a sound when I pulled out that bitch of a synthetic cap, a few soap bubbles around the edges, hazy/murky light brown colour
S - big malt and fruit, marmalade, cherry, toffee, carmel, rummy, brown sugar, I quite like the aroma
T - lots of toffee, bread pudding, rich and rummy, sticky and syrupy, aftertaste is bready and toasty alcoholic warmth
M - almost zero carbonation, but there is just enough of a hint to give it some life, so despite it's sizeable body it comes off a little watery, but at least it doesn't completely ruin things, alcohol presence is quite obvious, but puts a smile on my face
D - I quite like this for what it is, an incredible english barleywine, pity it wasn't more carbonated
Has a best before of Aug 2011. It's been in my cellar awhile, can't rememeber when I got this, or who from (I think it was Papat444... or possibly Viggo... whoever it was, thanks!).
There are a couple styles that sometimes just bore me to tears, but a beer will come along and remind me why that style can be great. This is one of those cases. I'm sorry, but this is imminently better than any Thomas Hardy's I've tried, in fact, it quite reminds me of the Bushwakker Strathdee Old Barleywine.
Based on the ratings, I didn't exactly have my hopes up, and the flat, murky pour wasn't doing much to change this... so the impressive aroma really got my attention... but still I was skeptical... there had to be something wrong with the flavour to give it such an average score. Thankfully I was dead wrong!!! This is a great, great beer, which made it very easy for me to forgive its shortcomings.
If anyone is sitting on more of these, send them my way!
edit: just read the bottle and I see they used all american hops. Ha! You'll notice my review made no mention of hops whatsoever. Who cares? I didn't miss them one bit. Convince yourself this is an "extreme" english barleywine, and you'll be in heaven.

My second stab at a Mikkeller brew I really enjoyed the Stateside IPA,poured into a small tulip glass sort of a slight hazed deep russet color a well formed 2 finger clingy light beige colored head atop it had great lasting power.At first pop of the cork a powerful resiny hop aroma hit me and a smile crossed my face that mixed in with a brown sugar and cakey alcohol fruitiness I knew this was gonna be a doozy.Hmm after a few sips I notice that its not anywhere near as potent as I thought it would be or as bold flavor wise a little watery in the mouthfeel department definently not a big chewey barley wine.Flavors fall a bit flat compared to the aromas dark fruit sweetness mixed with brown sugar and alcohol the hops are much more subdued than what I had imagined and or hoped giving a hint of medicinal-like and white pepper flavors in the finish along with a lasting alcohol sweetness.Maybe as others have suggested cellaring might be the ticket here but it wont help out its lighter mouthfeel,it started out great and kinda peetered out in the finish.

A: Murky brown with ruby hues. Basically no head, just a minimal layer of off-white foam that disappears immediately. Minimal lacings.
S: A rich smell with vinous fruity aromas (cherries, plums) up front. Plenty of malts and notes of chocolate, coffee, caramel, rye bread and alcohol. Gentle floral notes.
T: A Powerful taste with lots pf vinous fruits and a massive flavor of sweet malts. Chocolate, fudge, plenty of caramel, dusty cellar and raisins. Some bready notes. Has a slight Madeira-like quality to it. The finish is somewhat bitter and has lots of warming alcohol in it. Some chestnuts, juicy malts and notes of spicy hops. The alcohol is really noticeable and leaves a rather boozy sensation in the mouth.
M: Rather full body, very smooth. Very, very low levels of carbonation. After a while, it gets slightly sticky.
D: A good and powerful beer. Very malt-forward with the hops playing a minor role. I enjoyed it but I think the alcohol was just a little too prominent in it. Definitely a sipper.

Best before 2/7/12. Opens with a gentle "pop" after working the synthetic cork off the top. Glows a bright red color with orange highlights and a thin head.
The aroma is rich and can be smelled from a distance. Candi sugar mingles with sprucy hops, molasses, mint, and alcohol fumes going in and out. Smells better than it tastes.
Low carbonation and high alcohol make for a fairly thick and syrupy beer. Sweet candi sugar, raisin, and a stale hop character. It's a little sweeter than I prefer but it does dry out just enough in the finish to be ok.

Brilliant, bright ruby red. Perfectly clear. Quarter inch of light tan head on top, quite dense, and really hangs on.
Aroma is kind of simple, light caramel basically with some hints of raisin and fig. Just a touch of floral hops peak through. Kind of unremarkable.
Taste has more going on. Nice malty undertones. Sweet with sugar and caramel. Dark, ripe fruits of raisins and plums. Alcohol is there but under control. Some citrus and floral hints from some hops show through. Pretty good.
Smooth full mouthfeel that coats well and the flavor lingers, a touch of bitterness in the end.
Pretty drinkable too. Not the most complex, but a solid beer, no doubt. Has some rough edges from the hops and alcohol, but it is an American style barleywine, so it is expected. The size of this beer is well hidden, no alcohol hotness at all.

This beer was served in a tulip glass. It was a ruby red color with a small tan head that quickly disappeared. The beer was actually pretty still. It had a dark fruit aroma, as well as a little caramel. Interesting aroma. The taste was fruity, prunes/raisins. A little warming spice from the alcohol. Maybe a touch too sharp for me, but still a nice beer.

12.7 oz bottle, caged and corked. Pours a murky dark tea color with a thin off white head that quickly diminishes to a thin film and small collar.
The aroma is sweet candy-like caramel, melon and spicy alcohol
The flavor is sweet sugary caramel and dark fruits/melon with a big burnt bitter alcoholic burn at the finish. The mouthfeel is medium and slightly watery with low carbonation.
Overall, a big bitter barley wine. It's not very balanced at all and too alcoholic for me.

12.7 oz green bottle pours into a snifter a hazy copper body with a small beige head that quickly falls to a cap. Some sparse spotty lace is left behind.
Aroma boasts bold notes of chewy caramel and fresh citrusy grapefruit.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied with subdued carbonation and some spicy alcohol burn.
Taste has a dominant citrus rind bitterness. Some spicy alcohol burn suggests this one might need some maturation. Underlying malt backbone is sturdy and offers up some caramel sweetness. A mildly sweet citrusy orange presence appears midway through but quickly yields to the dominant hop bitterness.
Definitely an American style barleywine with assertive hop bitterness. A bit hot at this stage with an alcohol burn that is a bit distracting.

Pours murky brown with no head. Not a very attractive beer. The aroma is strong caramel malt with some dark fruit and alcohol. This smells very boozy. Flavor is lots of alcohol and dark fruit. Some raisins and still very boozy. Get some caramel malt. Medium mouthfeel, but too much alcohol to be very drinkable.

Pours murky brown with a short off-white head. Alcoholic candy in the nose. Some wood, pine needles, and lots of brown sugar. Taste is liquor-esque. Sweet and tangy up front with resin and grapefruit/orange-slice candy flavors. Oaky-brandy notes follow with a bit of carmelized apples and figs. The alcohol burn takes hold, giving it a cognac finish. Awesome beer.

375ml corked & caged bottle poured into an Allagsh tulip.
Pours a dark muddy brown with no head at all - I'm really hoping this isn't flat. Nose is Very booze and sweet/malty. Slight raisin and toffee.
Has a very light carbonation, slightly watery on the finish but still a decent body. It's quite sharp and boozy with a noticeable warming sensation. Taste is a bit unpleasant, more like a wine or something than most barleywines. It's ok but I wouldn't seek it out.

Appears a deep murky blood orange red brown in color with a large beige head dwindles down to fine even lacing. Aroma is tart with ripened fruit soaked in raw fusel alcohol. Abundant hop notes intertwined in the luscious malt character brings the aromatics around full character. Flavor is unsynchronized with raw hop bitterness, astringent alcohol, and overly sweet candy sugar additions might as well package this one in forties and sell in the 7/11 down the street. This is extreme beer at it's worse, might as well call this one the skullsplitter. After a half glass my eyes are blurring and my temples are buzzing, I feel like I just got done reinsulating my attic as my skin becomes warm and flush and my nose burns from the alcohol fumes. As you can see I'm not going to add to the hype of this brewery, I will give their other brews a shot. Mouthfeel is astringent in every aspect coats the palate with earthy hop oils, hot alcohol, and overtly sweet sugars in the malt profile causing me to want to go scrape my tongue. Literally causes my gag reflex to work, so let's motion to kick this one out of the UN of beers. Drinkability is shite the worst beer I've had in a long time, by the way nice synthetic cork maybe those brewers can use this one as a substitute butt plug, because this beer tastes like ass.

Bottle from Green's on Buford in Atlanta. Been looking at this one for a while and finally pulled the trigger.
Pours a hazy chestnut brown color with a very thin off-white head. The head recedes into a thin ring around the glass leaving no lacing but decent legs.
Smells of sticky caramel malts with good amounts of brown sugar and buttered rum aromas.
Tastes similar to how it smells. Sweet caramel malt flavors with hints of milk chocolate and larger amounts of brown sugar. Slightly buttery flavors come into things midway through the sip and carry through to a decidedly sweet ending.
Mouthfeel is good. It's got a nice thickness with very light but sufficient carbonation.
Drinkability is also good. I finished my glass without a problem and could have another.
Overall this was about what I expected it to be, just with less hops. Definitely an English barleywine and a good still version. Worth a shot.

(Served in a snifter)
After fighting and fighting with the synthetic cork once it was removed there wasn't even the slightest pop sound.
A- This beer has a deep brown body with a light glow of brown at the base of the glass. There is a sea of microbubbles that glide to the surface supporting a big bubble tan head that has a yellow hue to it and stays sticky before fading to a thick ring.
S- This beer has an earthy resin hop note without the pine qualities followed by a light wet wood and dry caramel note. The finish had a soft citrus quality that reminded me more of yeasty cherry notes than citrus fruit notes.
T-This beer has a soft caramel note with a slight coffee malt bitterness behind it and this develops into a raw sugar taste. There is a light tart citrus finish like dried tangerine rinds but it is pretty light.
M- The medium-light mouthfeel has no alcohol heat even when the beer has warmed a bit.
D- This beer has some nice sweetness but nothing to balance or support it. The orange quality at the finish is mysterious but not bold enough to and much interest.

A: Dark brown almost caramel with almost no carbonation but a ton of sediment
S: Rich sweet smell very malty
T: At first the taste is very bland and then all of a sudden an explosion of flavor. All of the sweetness i expected from the malt a fruity roundness and a little bit of bitterness in the finish.

A great example of a beer where the hops well - not perfectly, but did not leave a stale off-tasting beverage.
A: Pours a classic barleywine murky brown. Sits a slightly hazy dark amber with a clingy beige head.
S: Huge caramel and caramelized dark fruits. Toffee, butterscotch, and slightly muddled aged hops. Intense and very sweet and resinous
T: Big and sweet. Follows the nose closely, but a bit messy. Really tasty
P: Incredibly chewy, lingers for a while, leaves a resinous gloss in the mouth.
O: Really nice barleywine, would love to try fresh.

From a green bottle...hmmm...pours a cloudy amber tea color with a very smallish off white head that melts quickly to a faint ring and mist on the top of the beer.
Aroma is sweet, sweet, amber malts and dark raisins.
Taste is sweet candied malt, dark fruits, extra dark sugars, and then lots of hot alcohol. Lots.
I don't notice the hops in this one although they may be hidden in the hot alcohol finish.
A nice beer to get drunk on...or go to sleep with. Right now (relatively new) it's a bit hot and a lot sweet.

Bill Stanczykiewicz, President and CEO of the Indiana Youth Institute, a non-profit organization that promotes the healthy development of Hoosier children and youth by serving the people, institutions and communities that impact their well-being, was in Merrillville Tuesday to promote National Mentoring Month, coming up next month. Stanczykiewicz, who also appeared at our Region News Team studios on his way to South Bend, says people making New Year's Resolutions to improve themselves and their local communities and can "reach out to a child in need through a one-on-one mentoring relationship."
The I-Y-I CEO says that the research is clear "When you look at one adult with one child at least one hour, at least once a week for at least one school year, that student tents to do better in school, make good attitude and behavior choices, and are really much more likely to grow into a productive adult." He adds, "that's the positive impact of mentoring and the positive impact people can have by volunteering."
Stanczykiewicz also says too many kids suffer from A-D-D, not Attention Deficit Disorder, Adult Deficit Disorder." He adds "I had one school superintendent say that he had too many kids in his school district that didn't have even one adult whoever said a kind word to them. Now, think about that if we're adults how painful that could be--what if you're a child."

Alderman Brendan Reilly is on a valet vendetta, calling for a renewed look at the ordinance that limits how much street space valet's can use.
The loading zones are supposed to be for cars parking for 15 minutes or less, and flashers must be left on according to the sign. But, several vehicles parked on Rush Street for an hour or more were seen with no tickets in the windows. They were almost assuredly valets.
It makes it very frustrating for anyone else coming to the area to find a legal spot if they don't want to valet.
"It's very difficult," one woman said. "It's very difficult. They take up spots, they take up lanes, you gotta go around them."
Four years ago, Alderman Reilly went on the warpath against valet companies for among other things monopolizing parking spots. The ordinance passed at the time required restaurants that valet to have off street parking equivalent to at least 15 percent of their capacity.
Now, Reilly believes it's time to revisit the ordinance. A lot of drivers would agree.
"I don't mind valet if that's where I 'm going and they have it," a man told FOX 32. "If a place I'm going doesn't happen to have it, so I think there's a place for everything."
The valet company working for Carmines and Tavern on Rush claimed it was not hogging street spots, because it had no need to.
"I got six lots, it's impossible to fill them up," says Costa Ivanov with Capital Valet. "So, there is no way I'm gonna look for a spot on the street, pay six bucks an hour."

4.43/5 rDev +7.8%
Poured aggressively into a tumbler glass. A two finger head quickly halved in size but is sticking around.
Appearance: Dark brown, almost black. Little bit of a maroon hue when held up to the light but otherwise opaque.
Aroma: Very rich roasted malt. A little dark chocolate and coffee.
Taste: Well-rounded. The roasted malt comes through beautifully and lingers just the right amount of time. An aftertaste of dry dark chocolate. The hops are present and help bitter the palate at first but quickly fade, which is just fine because it lets the malt shine.
Mouthfeel: This porter has definite drinkability. Though it dries out your mouth a bit after every sip, it isn't very noticeable.
Final Thoughts: The Odell Brewing line-up of offerings are always on my shopping list. This is my first time trying their Cutthroat Porter and I will definitely be going for it again in the future. A very well-rounded beer and great example of the style. There is so much flavor packed into this brew.

Cellared for 24 months and pours black with a two fingers of ecru head. The aroma is rich with notes of coffee and sweet malt. There is a little astringency on the nose as the fizzy head reduces. The body is thin with and the flavors are A-typical. Great coffee notes and bittersweet chocolate. The flavors are great and the aromas are great teasers; the body is just a little shy of great. This is a good sessionish beer at 4.8%, I just can't get over the thin character.

12oz bottle. Label states 4.8% abv. Pours into my glass a deep dark brown with a tight bubbly light tan cap on top. Aromas begin with roasted, lightly smoky malts. A touch of cocoa and some black coffee are in there along with a little dark fruit and a slight caramel.
First sip brings a roasted dark malt upfront with a touch of burnt smokiness. Cocoa and coffee flavors intermingle with some dark fruits as well. A light citrus hop is there on the finish as well as enough bitterness to cut through the semi sweet malt.
Mouthfeel is smooth and easy drinking with a nice punch of carbonation. Not an extremely robust porter, but a tasty one all the same that goes down easy. Yet another solid brew from Odell. Too bad this isn't available around me, but if it is around you grab some when you're in the mood for a porter!

Close to pitch black, but when held to the light shows through with some brown and garnet highlights. Thick tan head on top, reduced to a thin layer of tight foam. Nice lacing coats the glass.
Dark toasted malts dominate with plenty of dark coffee. A touch of bittersweet chocolate as well. Some fainting sweet malt hints come in as well.
Flavor is good, but lacks something. Chocolate and dark toasted malts again. Nothing is really in the finish though. A bit simple for me.
Mouthfeel is really good though, except for a bit too much carbonation. Makes this porter sharp tasting. Besides that this one has a nice creaminess to it.
Good drinkability, it has a lot of high points to it, but just lacks in the taste department. I'd gladly have a couple in a sitting though.

12 oz bottle. Pours a dark brown with ruby highlights. It has a frothy light beige head that goes to a thin film that leaves some lacing.
The aroma is sweet chocolate and some burnt coffee.
The flavor is sweet chocolate malts and some burnt roastiness with a touch of fruitiness and a little lactose. It has a lightly bitter coffee finish. It's medium bodied with a good amount of velvety carbonation.
Overall, this is a well balanced porter - maybe a tad on the sweet side. This is a great fall back beer that I find myself drinking often.

Presentation: 12 oz brown long neck bottle with a bottling date in the bottom left hand corner of the label. Label has a blurb about the beer.
Appearance: Black as night with a wispy lace yet a small cake of foam forms in the middle, good retention as the lace sticks to the glass.
Smell: Roasted aromas, creamed lightly sweet coffee. Toasted and roasted malt mix yet more roasted than toasted.
Taste: Impressively smooth mouth feel with a medium to full body. Rich roasted flavour going borderline astringent. Hops tingle all throughout the mouth with a vague bitterness that gets clouded by more everlasting lingering roasted malt with caramel undertones though still leaves a trail of earthy minty flavour to the finish. Roasted flavours are not over bearing but at a perfect level of balance with hints of light charcoal and over caramelized sugar.
Notes: Profound in character, Odell's was aiming for the middle ground between Porters and Stouts … good stab at it. A more than decent Porter it is, I'm quite fond of this palatable brew.

On tap at Barleys. Some floral and citrus hops with roasted malts. Vary dark brown to black. Full, lasting, tan head, with good lace. Light roast flavor. Little bitterness. Fruity. Pretty thin. I think this is supposed to be a robust porter. Somthing is wrong. I may re-rate some day.

12 ouncer allowed to warm up for about 30 minutes, "070209" etched by a computer on the label. Best before dating? Pours dark dark brown, near black with some dark ruby highlight shining through the gloom. Dark tan head, creamy, frothy and then down to a tiny bubble film and leaving splattered strands and fine spots of lace after a bit more then a gentle swirl. The nose is the first highlight for me. Rich notes of dark chocolate are noted in prominence. Full flavor porter, more chocolate noted on the tongue, along with dark malts, and then a moderate drying hop presence late. Smooth on the tongue. Very enjoyable brew. Nice job here by Odell.

Serving glass: Poured from bottle into Nonic Imperial Pint.
Appearance: Very dark reddish-brown with thin tan head and not very much lacing.
Smell: Mostly molasses and milk chocolate,with light roasted character and some spicy hops. Smells bitter and dry.
Taste: The taste follows the smell, with an emphasis on chocolate and molasses. The roasted malts and bitter hops build throughout and become more apparent at the finish.
Feel: Moderately low carbonation, body is not very full but is extremely smooth and creamy. Actually, the smoothness is unheard of for an under 5% abv beer (my bottle says 4.8%). Dry finish.
Drinkability: Great example of an everyday, sessionable Porter that relies more on a smooth overall balance than going the overly roasted route. While not one of my absolute favorite Porters, this may be the most drinkable one I have ever had. Another winner from Odell.

Poured from 12 oz. bottle into a Sam Adams "Perfect Pint" glass.
Appearance: Pours a very dark blackish brown with a little bit of reddish/orange color at the bottom of the glass. Lots of bubbles and a huge five finger beige head with good retention. Lots of lacing around the glass.
Smell: A pretty big roasty aroma. Dark roasted malts with good hints of chocolate, coffee, burnt caramel, toffee, and some nuts. A little brown sugar, milk, and some light dried dark fruit. Very roasty aroma overall with a little bit of smoke. pretty solid.
Taste: Roasty and dark like the smell indicates. Dark roasted malts with notes of chocolate, coffee beans, nuts, milk, smoke, and burnt caramel and toffee. A little brown sugar and molasses. Very subtle hint of dark fruit. Some earthy hops provide some balancing bitterness in the back end. Very good taste.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with a moderate amount of carbonation. Very creamy. Slick and very smooth.
Overall: A very good take on the American style Porter. Nicely roasty and robust while still going down pretty smooth and easy.

A 12oz bottle with a date of October 2011 - I assume this is the BB date, so it's a bit old. Oh well. Picked up from my local beer specialist. I love the artwork on the label.
Poured into a Delirium chalice. An exceptionally dark brown hue that looks black as night. Produces an impressive head of creamy light brown foam with great retention; this slowly reduces to a surface layer. Leaves behind evidence of bottle conditioning. Aroma of rich roasted malt with a spicy quality. Hints of burnt grain, coffee, cocoa, brown sugar, aromatic hops and yeast.
Tastes of roasted malt with with a dry, malty bitterness. Notes of burnt grain, dark malt, coffee, dry yeast and subtle stewed hops. A lingering bitter finish. Mouthfeel is smooth and tingly, with fantastic body. Pretty astringent. Aftertaste of bitter roasted malt.
Excellent - a superb porter. The balance and body are fantastic; the roasted malt flavour and bitterness seem perfectly tuned. Lovely beer - grab one if you come across it.

Mail Tools for a Hostile Planet
Don't look now, but your mailbox is full of junk, and a snooper is live on a distant server, reading your opinions of your boss. Remember when email used to be easy? To restore some sanity to your correspondence, you'll need the right tools.
In the few short years since email spilled beyond the hacker culture, it has become nearly impossible to imagine life without it. The halls of academia, business, and government all operate on email. And the supreme simplicity of sending an email message has led to a proliferation of mail. Thirty years ago, you might have gotten five typewritten memos per day; today you could be getting 50 in email – that's 250 in a working week – and this is only the messages from people you know. If you add all the spam that is addressed to you from spam dens hidden everywhere on the Earth, you'll see why many email users are desperately wondering how such a promising technology could lead to such tedium. The biggest questions questions facing today's email user are: • How do you filter out the email you don't want? • How do you organize the mail you do want? • How do you secure your email messages? These questions form the backdrop for this month's Email cover story. We'll provide you with detailed, practical information on managing your mail. You'll learn how to create a spam-free and secure email environment in Linux without spending a lot of money on software.

PEORIA, Ill. -- Peoria Police say they are working to verify a reported home burglary in the 900 block of W. Deerbrook.

At this time it is unclear what, if anything, was taken from the home.
Police say this incident does not appear to be connected to a recent string of home invasions in Peoria.

A memorial marker will be placed at Waterloo Memorial Stadium, where a slain Waterloo soldier once played football.
The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier says (http://bit.ly/1dXQVRg ) Sgt. Eric Steffeney is being honored.
The 1994 West High School graduate was killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq in February 2005.
The father of three was close to finishing his second tour in Iraq with an Army explosives disposal unit.
The memorial will be dedicated in a ceremony on Nov. 9. Steffeney's sacrifice and service also will be recognized at an assembly at West High.

More than 70 percent of Haitians responding to a recent poll said they wanted MINUSTAH to leave within a year. The U.N. can use the money currently wasted on this military force to rid the country of cholera. Then, at least, they will have cleaned up one of their biggest crimes in the country.

CATEGORIES MoviesCan you imagine Dustin Hoffman as the hard-boiled, romantic, replicant-hunting sleuth hero of "Blade Runner"?
It's true, the "Tootsie" star was one of many leading men up for the role of Rick Deckard; it was only a recommendation from Steven Spielberg, who had just shot "Raiders of the Lost Ark," that persuaded Ridley Scott that "Star Wars" second banana Harrison Ford could carry a movie.
Three decades later, Ford has gone from untried leading man to cinema icon. His co-stars (including Sean Young, Daryl Hannah, and Edward James Olmos) went from obscurity to stardom -- and sometimes, back again to obscurity. The movie itself, which was a box-office disappointment upon its release 30 years ago this month (on June 25, 1982), went on to become the most influential science-fiction movie this side of "Star Wars." About seven different versions have been released since then, making sure that we never forgotten about Deckard's dark quest to find humanity within himself -- even as we may have wondered what became of the people who made "Blade Runner." To find out, read on.

The saga of Cubs pitcher Carlos Zambrano, which has gone from dugout fights with his catcher to an argument with umpire Mark Carlson where he pretended to toss Carlson out of the game to nearly getting into a fight with mild-mannered teammate Derrek Lee to an ejection last August resulting in his walkout on the team, threatening to retire, has taken another bizarre turn.
Friday night, while Zambrano was having his best winter league outing yet for Caribes in the Venezuelan League in his home country, he was hit in the face by a line drive off the bat of Ezequiel Carrera. He had allowed just two hits, two walks and an unearned run in the five innings.
According to local reporter Raul Lopez, Zambrano is fine and at home in his home town of Puerto Cabello:
Carlos Zambrano is at home in Puerto Cabello,Venezuela resting after being hit by a ball last night in his mouth..6 stitches were taken #Cubs
