Top 10 stories of past NFL season
Even with uncertainty hovering over the future, a contrast of old and new came together to make the 2009 season a memorable one. PFW examines the 10 stories that dominated the NFL in the past year.
Johnson already looking toward new deal
Titans RB Chris Johnson wants to be the highest-paid offensive player in the NFL, but he isn't demanding a new contract, he indicated at Super Bowl XLIV.
Titans hire Pola as RB coach
The Titans hired Jaguars RB coach Kennedy Pola to the same position on Monday. He replaces Earnest Byner, who was fired over the weekend, according to the club.
Titans' return game in need of repairs
The Titans' return game was a major problem in 2009, and Tennessee can be expected to address it in the offseason, whether in free agency or the draft, the way we hear it.
Titans' CB depth chart could be shuffled
Cornerback could be a position of flux for the Titans in the offseason.
Young the Titans' starter, but Collins' status remains to be seen
Vince Young will be the Titans' starting quarterback next season, but will Kerry Collins be his backup?
Hall: Patience pays off for Titans' Johnson
Titans RB Ahmard Hall has had a front-row view of RB Chris Johnson's remarkable push for 2,000 yards rushing, and he's played a key role in Johnson's special season.
Once free agency began Tuesday, the Titans agreed to terms with Levitre and San Francisco tight end Delanie Walker, a person familiar with the situation said. The person spoke to The Associated Press Tuesday on condition of anonymity because the deals both are pending the players passing physicals.||||||| Levitre will help plug a big hole on the Titans' offensive line after five-time All-Pro left guard Steve Hutchinson announced his retirement earlier Tuesday. The Titans finished last season with four offensive linemen on injured reserve, and improving the line to help protect Jake Locker in his third season was a top priority. The 6-foot-2, 305-pound Levitre has started all 64 games in his four seasons with Buffalo.
Levitre is expected to make his 19th straight start Sunday against the New England Patriots, a week after sustaining a neck injury at Green Bay.||||||| Levitre missed practice on Wednesday, but returned Thursday after hurting his neck in Buffalo's loss to the Packers. The second-year pro practiced fully Friday, wearing a protective collar on the top of his shoulder pads.
Levitre is close to agreeing to a contract and could report to training camp as early as Sunday afternoon.||||||| The offensive guard's agent Leo Goeas told The Associated Press that "we're just about there," noting that the two sides are going over the final language of the deal. The 51st overall pick out of Oregon State, Levitre made 39 starts and was first-team All-Pac 10 last year. The Bills, who opened training camp Saturday, are counting on Levitre, who is being given an opportunity to start at left guard this season.

She played sports at Central High School. Years later she learned about auditions for an adult women's football league and, eleven years later, she's still going strong.
Nyala Bulock is a free safety for the Kansas City Titans women's football team.
"You become a whole other person. It's like, 'no one steps on my field and is going to do any damage when I'm on this field,'" Bulock said.
Her team finished up the season with a seven and two record. It's not bad for a woman who is also a wife, mother, graduate student and assistant volleyball coach at Central High School.
She carries her football mentality to the court, teaching her girls the feeling that comes with being on a team.
"I am very strong with, 'this is your rock here, these are your teammates, these are your sisters, they ride and die with you, they love you. If you don't have anybody, you have them,'" Bulock said.
Bulock hurt her shoulder at the end of last season but, like her role model Troy Polamalu, she won't let an injury keep her down. She said she admires the Pittsburgh Steelers' strong safety for his tenacity on the field and his personal style.
"I like his hair, one, and two, he is fierce. He just goes with no thought process of what he's going to do. He just executed, he just delivers. And it's awesome to watch him," she said.
Right now Bulock is watching and waiting to see how her shoulder heals. She wants to be back on the field when the new season starts in April.
"It's great to play something that people kind of frowned upon for women to be a part of, so it's almost like I'm going to show you that I can do it and I can do it well," she said.
Bulock is also a leadership consultant and is working on a master's degree. She graduates in May of 2015.

Study 3
Gathering petitions in a shopping mall
Mike Robins and a group
of his classmates went to their local shopping mall to seek
support for their opposition to a United Nations resolution
they believed to be anti-Semitic. They set up a table to distribute
pamphlets and to ask shoppers to sign a petition. A security
guard at the mall asked them to leave, and they did.
and his friends then sued the shopping mall, claiming that
their First Amendment rights had been violated. The shopping
mall responded that free expression could be restricted at
the mall because (1) it was private property, (2)
the shopping centers regulations forbid publicly expressive
activities, and (3)
the actions of the protesters interfered with people shopping
and therefore with the merchants ability to make a living.

Along with their music-inspired décor featuring murals of guitar player Jimi Hendrix and other rock legends, EvenFlow Music & Spirits brings in live jazz, rock, and blues bands to their full-sized stage. To fuel their patrons, the chefs cook a menu of upscale American fare—which has included dressing up grilled cheese sandwiches with short ribs and brioche bread and seared diver scallops with watermelon salsa.
Hailed by Chicago magazine as one of 2009's best new restaurants, Glen Prairie has solidified its commitment to Midwestern flavor during the ensuing years, with a kitchen that transmutes organic, gluten-free or family-farmed ingredients into platefuls of contemporary American cuisine. Buns cradling certified Black Angus burgers or Dietzler Farms all-natural patties materialize atop sleek tables in puffs of purple smoke as diners lounge beneath the incandescent light of the sage-toned dining room. The hip setting belies the restaurant's homey flavors, as elements of comfort food infuse dishes such as the mac 'n' locally farmed cheese, which accompanies chervil-crusted pike or arrives solo as part of the vegetarian selection.
Eco-friendly wines share the fruits of sustainable vineyards. And a choice of regular or mini desserts punctuates meals with perfectly portioned chocolate-chip-cookie sundaes, smothered in gelato and smoked sea-salted caramel. A brunch menu greets the morning with more healthy spreads, featuring frittatas, benedicts, and omelets made from cage-free eggs, trans-fat-free oils, and vegetables that got perfect scores on their ACTs.
Grotto Oak Brook offers a meat-centric approach to fine dining. The dinner menu features prime steaks and chops, seafood, and pastas trimmed from the willow-like foliage of Tuscan semolina trees. Commence consumption with an appetizer of baked clams ($8 for a half-dozen, $15 for a dozen) or bruschetta, heaped with juicy tomatoes, fresh basil, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil ($9). Oxymoron-lovers can sink teeth into a nine-ounce petite filet mignon ($33), while Manhattanite meatheads can slice into their hometown with the generous 14-ounce New York strip-steak ($37). Specialties such as the half-chicken Vesuvio ($21 for boneless, $20 for bone-in), as well as seafood dishes, including the jumbo-shrimp scampi ($26), cater to animal-haters, while vegetarians can find plant-based sustenance in eggplant parmigiana ($17) and customizable pasta dishes ($16+). Pair your meal with a selection from the list of more than 60 wines imported from Italy, France, California, and the recently discovered lunar grape arbor.
At Orange 13, swaths of burnt-orange organza and crystal chandeliers transform tables into secluded enclaves. At two granite-topped bars, bartenders pour 50 handpicked wines and mix martinis with top-shelf liquors. The chefs strive to match the sleek, sultry environs with a menu of creative fusion fare: they adorn a trio of buffalo, elk, and Kobe burgers with brie and bleu cheese and add zest to tender lamb chops with lemon-thyme glaze. To encourage an experience as fun as the cuisine is exquisite, live entertainment and DJs spin beats until 3 a.m., and high ceilings make it plausible that dancing giraffes appear, too. Live bands hit the stage at 8 p.m. on Fridays and DJs begin to spin sets at 11 p.m. on Saturdays.
Fragrant hookah smoke swims through the vividly hued lounge at Arabian Nights, undulating past curtains, pillows, and curling decorative accents. Guests take in scents through the winding tubes attached to their stations' apparatuses, choosing from an extensive list of shishas that includes herbal varieties for those who'd like to avoid tobacco. Guests are free to bring their own snacks to the lounge, which also serves teas, sodas, coffees, and juices.
The decor is eclectic. In one section, royal-blue walls contrast with the fairy-light-sprinkled vines that crawl around the perimeter of the ceiling. In another, orange and red walls corral a TV and a DJ station flanking a fireplace. Dramatic mirrors, low cushions, and checkerboard walls characterize other regions of the softly lit space, filled with guests surfing the web with complimentary WiFi and caterpillars avoiding political topics on first dates.
More than 100 flavors of shisha infuse Milan Hookah Lounge's softly lit atmosphere with a smoky haze that swirls off of premium tobacco from brands such as Fantasia and Starbuzz. Tobacco-free hydro herbal molasses comes in a slew of sweet flavors, satiating nicotine abstainers and easing the conscience of leafy, tobacco-human hybrids, and refreshing colas and teas cleanse smoke-saturated tongues. Guests kick back in a cozy lounge area with ceiling-suspended lamps, low couches, and sports-broadcasting TVs as occasional live music and belly dancing swell the airwaves with melodious and abdominal vibrations.

Southampton is the largest city and port on the south coast of England. Tour the historic byways of Old Town with its Medieval walls and Tudor architecture. Spend an hour or two meandering along the pathways of Royal Victoria Country Park, picturesquely set along the waterfront on the grounds of a former military hospital where Florence Nightingale once worked. Southampton's maritime past can be explored by strolling along the Town Quay with its marina and lively bars and restaurants. It was here that the Titanic departed on its fateful journey and where the Mayflower sailed for the New World.
As shore excursions to be offered in this port are not yet confirmed, below is a list of those offered previously. We make every effort to have excursions finalized at least 240 days in advance of sailing, and often sooner, so please check back regularly.
Celebrate the beloved PBS drama Downton Abbey during an exclusive shore excursion.
A partnership between Regent Seven Seas Cruises, Artful Travelers, and your local PBS and NPR stations across America, these unique sailings combine learning and leisure to celebrate the very best of public broadcasting. With a focus on PBS' cultural programming – including Downton Abbey – as well as American government and world affairs, this adventure promises to be unlike any other.
Prior to embarking the Regent Seven Seas Voyager, join Artful Travelers on an exclusive journey through the pastoral English countryside to celebrate the worldwide television hit Downton Abbey. Over the course of just four acclaimed seasons, PBS' Downton Abbey has solidified its place among the greatest series in television history and amassed countless prestigious honors including Emmy, Golden Globe and Producers Guild of America Awards. This extraordinary tour offers the opportunity to meet the Countess of Carnarvon, who oversees the management of Highclere Castle, the setting of the television favorite.
The schedule for this excursion includes:
• 8:45 AM: Luxury coach transportation to Basildon Park
• 10:30 AM: Unique photo stop and tour of Basildon Park, the impressive country house used as the locale of Downton Abbey's highly-rated 2013 Christmas Day special
• 12:30 PM: Luxurious three-course lunch with Lady Carnarvon, New York Times best-selling author who manages affairs at Highclere Castle, the "real" Downton Abbey;
• 1:30 PM: "In Conversation with the Countess of Carnarvon", a fascinating exploration of the history of Highclere, the setting for the PBS television favorite, as told by Lady Carnarvon, the chatelaine of Highclere Castle;
• 3 PM: An exclusive book signing of Lady Carnarvon's acclaimed new release Lady Catherine and the Real Downton Abbey
• 3:30 PM: Return luxury coach transportation
• 4:30 PM: Embarkation
Additionally, passengers participating in this exclusive tour will receive invitations to Artful Travelers' events aboard the Regent Seven Seas Voyager as the journey to Stockholm – and this celebration of the very best of public broadcasting – begins. Esteemed guests joining the sailing for presentations, receptions and private dinners include:
• Gwen Ifill – Moderator and Managing Editor of Washington Week, Co-Anchor for the PBS NewsHour, and best-selling author of The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama;
• Michael Kantor – Emmy Award-winning producer/writer/director and Executive Producer of PBS' American Masters;
• David Zippel – Tony Award-winning lyricist and director (City of Angels, The Goodbye Girl);
• Christine Andreas – Tony Award-nominated actress and singer (La Cage Aux Folles, The Light in the Piazza).
This pre-cruise shore excursion is a full-day experience at an additional cost of $399 US per passenger. For complete details please contact a Regent Seven Seas Cruises reservations agent at 844-4REGENT (1.844.473.4368) | Visit RSSC.com.
PLEASE NOTE: Lady Carnarvon will join Artful Travelers passengers only during "A Day with Downton", an exclusive, pre-cruise shore excursion.
A former auditor for Coopers & Lybrand, Lady Fiona Carnarvon is the wife of George Herbert, 8th Earl of Carnarvon. Today, she manages affairs at Highclere Castle, home of the worldwide television drama Downton Abbey, including overseeing its grounds and gardens and many special events such as the Egyptian Exhibition in the cellars of the Castle. Fascinated by Highclere's history, Lady Carnarvon has written three books. The first two are about the 5th Earl of Carnarvon, who discovered King Tutankhamun's tomb with Howard Carter in 1922. Her latest, The New York Times bestseller Lady Almina and the Real Downton Abbey: The Lost Legacy of Highclere, is an amazing tale covering the same period as the first two series of Downton Abbey, beginning in 1894 with the marriage of 19-year-old Lady Almina into the Carnarvon family and continuing through the Great War. In September, Lady Carnarvon will publish the follow-up to the international best seller, Lady Catherine and the Real Downton Abbey. This book moves the story into the 1920's and focuses on the remarkable American heiress who came to reign at Highclere Castle.

Samsung teases 'Super' OLED TV with CES banner
The CES showfloor doesn't open until next week, but here's one reason to arrive early in Las Vegas. Banners are popping up outside the convention center, and one of the big ones looming over the Central Hall entrance advertises its OLED TV presence. The choice of hyperbole specifically is "Ultimate TV... Super OLED Sensation." If we had to guess what size this "Super OLED" TV would be, we'd probably say 55 inches — that's how large LG's recently-announced (and self-touted "world's largest") OLED TV is, and that's the size Samsung is expected to release before the 2012 Olympics. With LG's set also being just 4mm thin, we're curious to see if Samsung will try to match the thickness or try to differentiate in other ways. That "super" has to count for something, right? It probably goes without saying, but this is just one in a million (not literally but close) televisions we'll see next week.

Previous college-level coursework and/or other preparation in environmental studies, ecology, development studies, or other related fields is strongly recommended but not required. Although there is no language prerequisite, a background in Portuguese, Spanish, or another Romance language is recommended.
The seminar on Amazon Resource Management & Human Ecology combines lectures (in English and some in Portuguese with translations) given by knowledgeable speakers, with field exercises undertaken in local communities, forest reserves, farms, ranches, fisheries and various other workplaces. Students obtain first-hand knowledge of the issues address in this program from the people who are in the forefront, discussing, creating, suffering, and making the history of the region. During the Environmental Field Study Seminar, students learn how to integrate both social science and ecological field techniques through anthropological and field ecology projects. These skills will then be applied during the Independent Study Project (ISP). Portuguese language study provides students an important window into the culture and communities in which they live and study.
The following syllabi are either from a recent session of this program or for an upcoming session. Because courses develop and change over time to take advantage of dynamic learning opportunities, actual course content will vary from term to term.
The syllabi can be useful for students, faculty, and study abroad offices in assessing credit transfer. Read more about credit transfer.

Not a lot of people have trust in the San Jose Sharks and Vancouver Canucks during the Stanley Cup Playoffs right now. After a five-game exit to a No. 8 seed (albeit, a Stanley Cup winning one) in 2012, the Canucks are on high alert, especially with their goaltending controversy. The Sharks, on the other hand, have always had a choker label stapled to their backs (no room for more logos on the front of their jerseys) despite having made the conference finals twice in 2010 and 2011.
That's what made the Western Conference Quarterfinal between the two teams an intriguing series to me. So many players with negative reputations among many hockey fans, most of them undeservedly so. As it turned out, what we got was merely a very competent, exciting game that the Sharks took 3-1.
The strange thing was that the Sharks played their best period in the first, when there was no scoring. Vancouver outshot San Jose 22-13 in the last two periods, in which the Sharks outscored them 3-1. San Jose played well enough to win, but was largely just getting the better breaks than the Canucks, as a couple of the goals were scored on crazy scrambles in front of the net.
This series could end up having a life of it's own with the media speculation about Luongo and Schneider, and the world's general thinking that Joe Thornton and Patrick Marleau will never get it done in the clutch (hey, Jeremy Roenick!) so I'm hoping it's a long one. The two teams settle in for Game 2 on Friday night.
1. Roberto Luongo's not going to be the problem again, right?
Setting the record straight: Roberto Luongo was just fine in Game 1 of this series. He made 25 saves, many of them of high quality, and really wasn't to blame on the San Jose goals. People can whine all they want, but the problem with Vancouver on Tuesday night wasn't their goaltender, it was their offense's inability to provide him with any goal support. One won't do it against a team with as many offensive stars as the Sharks.
2. But will we still blame him if the Canucks lose anyway?
You betcha! I can't imagine Roberto Luongo doing anything to please anyone anymore short of winning the Stanley Cup. I'm sure if the Canucks don't win Game 2, the fans, media, and random passersby Alain Vinegault sees on the street will be calling for Bobby Lou's head, begging for Cory Schneider.
3. Something's wrong with Ryan Kesler, isn't there?
Kesler was a minus-1 with two shots on goal, but he just didn't look right in Game 1. He looked slow and unprepared for the pace of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The forward has been hampered by injury pretty much since Game 7 of the 2011 Stanley Cup Final, but the Canucks desperately need him to contribute if they want to win this series. Half a Ryan Kesler doesn't appear to be good enough for Vancouver.

A New Jersey man is turning heads after installing a gun-shaped mailbox outside his home.
49-year-old Roger Buchko of Warren County is the man who made the 350-pound mailbox, and he says it's a replica of the Smith and Wesson gun from the Dirty Harry film series.
Striking as it is, the mailbox is not meant to be a political statement. Instead, Buchko is using it to promote his business of cabinet-making and metal fabrication.
"It's just to drum up business, because I'm broke," he told New York Daily News.
So far, Buchko tells The Express-Times, more than 500 people have taken pictures of his mailbox. Only one person has thrown eggs at his work.
One fan of the monument is the Postmaster for the county.
"I think it's very innovative. I'm 100 percent supportive," she said. "As long as it accommodates the size of the mail he receives, it's not a problem."

The Tambov students have twice won in the lottery. The first time happened when they got a chance to leave their godforsaken provincial town for New Orleans to have a training session there. The second one occurred when they managed to survive in that very New Orleans. As a result, they brought home a clear understanding of "how perfect their life in peaceful Tambov wasâ€.
Our society however has also witnessed a disaster of a comparable size that is of Chernobyl. The nuclear emergency was no mere calamity, it actually became the moment of truth, which had revealed the inner weakness of the Soviet system. With all that, against the background of the recent New Orleans news, Chernobyl chaos may seem to be an example of the perfect order and the proper functioning of the authorities.
The scenario of the New Orleans flood fits perfectly well in the Hollywood format. The city is seized by panic, there is shooting in the streets, buildings surrounded by water, powerful explosions, well-armed cutthroats on the motorboats, and solitary superheroes. There were also ignored predictions by wise scientists, exactly like in the movies. One of the information agencies had even reported on the sharks, swimming about the city. Maybe, there is some guy in Hollywood who is already scrutinizing over another scenario, calculating budget and estimating the box-office returns of the future blockbuster aimed at beating "Titanicâ€.
However, all this breath-taking horrors blank out something a lot more alarming, namely the crisis and the collapse of the society. Chernobyl events had immediately uncovered the falsity of the Soviet system: at first the state tried to hold back information about the disaster, then to artificially diminish the sizes of the latter. What disgusts most is the fact that the authorities lied to the participants of these very events, thus making them sacrifice their health and lives when sent to perform restorative works in the area without letting them know the real scale of the danger. Still, it was not about the collapse of the society and the paralysis of the state. All the services functioned properly. People could lose their lives as a result of a foolish order, but all the orders were carried out thoroughly and unconditionally. The local residents were quickly evacuated. There were enough food and buses; everyone knew his or her place. When time passed, the old people, having decided they got nothing to lose, started coming back to their homes: they found their property untapped.
It goes without saying that one cannot put an 'equals' sign between villages and small towns of the Chernobyl area and the big city of New Orleans. It is perfectly clear that a natural disaster makes people in the best possible way display their very negative qualities as well as positive ones. Big cities are usually characterized by hatred, envy, and a high rate of criminality. It is a lot harder to maintain the order there. Bearing all that in mind we still cannot help asking some unpleasant questions.
Why did the world's only superpower, which managed to intimidate most states, fail to raise funds for restoring two dams in the danger zone? Why hadn't the country, which has officially been fighting terrorism for five years in a row by now, worked out strategies and prepared resources for large scale evacuation from the troubled city? It is clear that nothing had been done at that point, although neither the "Catherine†twister, nor even the flood had come as a surprise for the authorities. It is pointless to discuss how this disaster is related to the global warming, anyways storms and hurricanes are quiet commonplace for the Gulf of Mexico.
Why weren't the authorities capable of gaining control over the situation in the streets, why didn't they even show up? How could it happen that thousands of people, left to their own devices, started to act according to the principle homo homini lupus est? And, finally, why did the federal administration's response come so late?
The United States have enough power and resources to keep numerous military units abroad, to stifle resistance in Afghanistan and Iraq, to control the Presidents' change in Georgia and Kyrgyzstan. At the same time this country is incapable of mobilizing several thousands of the state troopers and reservists with a relevant amount of equipment to prevent the death of the elderly and the youngsters in their home country!
Comparing Chernobyl with New Orleans makes one think that the modern American society copies the negative traits of the late Soviet system, ignoring, however, its positive aspects. The Soviet government was lying constantly, instinctively, even when the lie was absolutely useless or harmful. Well, at least it could provide order and food. American government of today is also lying permanently, but it can't and doesn't even try to provide security for the citizens. The purpose Chernobyl disaster had fulfilled was, in the first place, the revelation of the true amounts of the authorities' lie, and, what's more important, it had displayed the vanity and uselessness of the latter. Probably, the New Orleans flood will make Americans take a different look at themselves. If it does happen, changes are sure to occur.
Disasters often turn out to be of a particular use for the society. Unfortunately, the lessons we have to learn always cost too much.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - The crack of the bat may sound a bit different in the Major League Baseball season that is now under way.
You might not be able to see it from the stands, but hitters are carrying a new type of bat to the plate.
For one thing, the Louisville Slugger bats are now made with firmer wood. The harder bat is less likely to splinter.
Another big change was a new logo that was unveiled Monday morning. The more modern Louisville Slugger label is part of the effort by the 129-year-old company to stay relevant in the sporting good supply market.

Kitten Yixing Teapot
Features a built-in spout strainer

Reviewed by 4 customers

Best Uses
A lot of people think of these teapots as purely decorative, but they make the best tea imaginable. I have used the cat teapot for over 10 years and it just gets better with age. It is advisable to use only 1 type of tea per pot because the tea pot absorbs the flavor of the tea and becomes seasoned. I make my own chai tea and drink it every day. I even travel with it because I can tell the difference between my tea made in a regular pot and my pot. I like the cat tea pot because it is a little bigger and can hold 2 cups of tea (I also have a Yixing mug). Every avid tea drinker should own a Yixing tea pot.
This teapot maybe cute in the picture, but in use, it does dribble when you pour, and the handle gets hot oddly enough. Not hot enough to burn but very uncomfortable.
Best Uses
This teapot is absolutely adorable and I love it. It holds a goodly amount of tea and cleans up quickly. The only problem with this teapot (and it is a very minor one) is that it will leak slightly when first pouring if teapot is full and it poured out quickly. If the pot is full, a gentle pouring solves this problem.
This pot is wonderful:) It holds plenty of tea. Keeps it warm although I recommend getting a small warmer for it. It doesn't drip when you serve and of course is very cute:)

Climate data from all areas of the globe continue to pour in and the conclusions are always the same: our planet is heating up.
A Dec. 23, 2012 press release from the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, CO, details temperature changes on the Antarctic continent. The data were presented in a peer-reviewed paper in Nature Geoscience (doi:10.1038/ngeo1671).
The Byrd Station (star), on the map of Antarctica, has had a temperature increase of 4.3 degrees Fahrenheit in average annual temperature since 1958. This is almost three times larger than the average for the rest of the globe: the concern is that the glaciers will slide more quickly into the sea raising ocean levels.
The color scale, experimental design, and statistics to support this data can be found in the NCAR/UCAR Atmos News Release of December 23, 2012, "West Antarctica Warming Three times Faster…" The black circles are other permanent research stations with long-term temperature records.
Closer to home, the map of the United States from the National Climate Data Center shows the temperature ranking for the most recent 12 month period through December 2012. For the nation as a whole, it is the warmest year on record in the 118-year database: by far.
In early January 2013, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory at California Institute of Technology issued the following graph of sea level changes over the past 20 years. The science and the technology they developed, with their French partners, have given us the most precise measurements yet of Earth's global sea level changes. The data are from four different satellite and radar instrumentation systems and show increased sea levels over this period of time.
Everywhere on the globe these data, and more, support the same conclusion: our planet is warming.
But these are not the numbers that will define our climate future and those of our grandchildren. What will define that future are just three numbers.

ONSTAGE & BACKSTAGE: Mario Cantone in P-Town
By Seth Rudetsky
A week in the life of actor, radio and TV host, music director and writer Seth Rudetsky.
I'm on a JetBlue flight back from Boston. I was up at 5 AM (!) to catch my 6 AM Cape Air flight to Boston from P-Town. I know that seems like last-minute, but Cape Air is so Mom and Pop that you can saunter up to the counter to get a boarding pass at 5:45 and there's an "it's all good" attitude. I came up to New England to do two shows with Mario Cantone at the Art House in Provincetown on Saturday and Sunday nights. Mario was great. The show featured him singing and me interviewing him, which was really just me asking a simple question that would launch him into a hilarious ten-minute tirade. One of my favorite things he said was about Paula Deen. He was raging about how everyone turned on her when she got diabetes. He couldn't understand the anger coming towards her. He yelled, "She has diabetes. She didn't give you diabetes!"
He performed in Provincetown only once before, when he was 19 years old, for the summer. But he was traumatized from being heckled and didn't come back 'til now. I asked him what his comedy was back then and he said he did imitations, like Julia Child. He did an amazing version of her voice and her late-in-life bent over body, telling the audience "My hump is actually made of pecorino and parmesan." Then he started miming putting a cheese grater on his back. "Say when!"
He doesn't do Julia any more, but he had tons of recent material because he's working on a new show he hopes to have on Broadway by the spring. I asked him what he watches on TV and he instead told me what he would never watch: any shows featuring "The Housewives." "They're who-o-o-o-o-o-o-ores! The Housewives of Who-o-o-o-o-o-ore-ange County!" He also raged about the teen parents in his neighborhood. Twice, he's rescued a baby carriage on 9th Avenue that was rolling into traffic because the mother wasn't paying attention. One of the young ladies was standing with her boyfriend and kept apologizing profusely.
"Oh, Tito! I'm so sorry. I'm the worst mother. Tito! I'm so sorry!" Then her eyes widened when she recognized Mario from TV.
"Oh! I remember you…" she said
"You remember me!?!?!" he yelled back. "Remember your child!!!"
He grew up loving musicals but was only interested in seeing the original cast. When he was 12, his sister told him she got them tickets to Chicago.
"And," she said, excited. "Guess who's in it?"
"I know who's in it." he replied. "Chita Rivera and Gwen Verdon."
"No!" she said. "Gwen Verdon has been replaced by…Liza Minnelli!"
He glared at her and said, "Then I'm not going!" Seriously! He refused to see it because it wasn't the original cast. I love it!
We talked about him doing "The View" and he told me some hilarious jokes he did on the show about the hosts. He busted Whoopi Goldberg's admitted penchant for pot smoking by imitating her fade out/inability to read the prompter. "We'll be right back after…oh, I don't know." Then he said, "Whoopi. I thought your 'hobby' was supposed to cure glaucoma." Then he busted Barbara Walters for loving Justin Bieber so much. He told her she had no right being obsessed with someone who was born after she received her lifetime achievement award. He continued with, "I know why you're so into him, Barbara. Because he's a compatible donor!" Hi-larious!
On my SiriusXM show ("Seth Speaks"), I celebrated the release of the video with Beth, Mairi and Karl who performed the song live! And it was a brava! You can watch that here. And, thanks to the miracle of the phone, I was able to interview them all along with J Carson Black, who lives in Arizona. Here's the interview.
Last week, I did a master class and Deconstructing Broadway at French Woods Performing Arts Camp. I knew that my friends Melissa Errico, Andrea Burns and Jason Robert Brown went there so I was excited to finally see it. I also found out that three of Maroon 5 met there! Well, I decided I must send Juli there next year. It's amazing! Not only a wonderful theatre program (where the musicals use full orchestras) but an enormous music program (classical and rock), art (ceramics, silk screening, animation), film, roller skating, circus (!) and a ton more. I literally wanted to live there. I also love what a stereotype it was in terms of typical obsessed theatre teens: I watched a rehearsal of the current musical and, of course, I saw a bunch of 15-year-olds doing Company. It was so fun seeing a teen Joanne say "Sometimes I catch him looking and looking. I just look right back." I wound up getting so emotional watching it because I also was 15 when I did Company in high school (I was Harry). It was like reliving my youth. P.S., I was so impressed with them. They were doing "Side By Side," which had tons of dancing and yet when they'd run by me in the middle of a dance step, I could hear they were all singing full out. It's such a bust on Broadway producers who add pre-recorded vocals to their shows claiming that it's difficult to dance and sing. Then why can 15-year-olds do it!?!?!
And finally, on Saturday I finished editing this week's episode of "Seth's Reality," and I love it so much! It's all about the first performance of my musical Disaster and brings back such great memories! Here's the preview. You can watch the full show at SethTV.com.
OK, I have to sign off ASAP. Why? Because I still haven't finished my sequel to "My Awesome/Awful Popularity Plan." If you recall, it was due June 1. Does anyone know if a contract with a book publishing house is binding? Get back to me as soon as possible and peace out!

2014 Graduate Handbook
I – Program Overview
History, as three recent interpreters have written in a new, compelling book, is a "discipline, a profession, and a career." (T. Bender, Katz, and C. Palmer, The Education of Historians for the Twenty-First Century. Urbana, Illinois: The University of Illinois Press, 2004. Pp. 4-5.) As a discipline, history has standards of evidence, styles of argumentation, and a literary and narrative dimension that distinguish it from other forms of scholarship. Historians interpret politics and institutions; they study intellectual communities and social dynamics; importantly, they give a voice to those who might otherwise not be accorded one by society. History has been among the most "interdisciplinary" of all the modern disciplines. As a profession, history possesses organized forms of interaction among its practitioners. Historians write for each other and for a public at large; and they are committed, professionally, to styles of written communication and oral interaction that are clear, informative, and ethically sound. At conferences and in classrooms, in government and in museums, historians research and communicate about the past, remembering its lessons to help create a better future. And as a career, history is, and should be, many things: historians work in the academy, creating new knowledge and teaching students at the college and university level; historians teach at the K-12 level of education; historians design and curate exhibits in museums; and historians work for the government, for corporations, and for media outlets, strengthened and empowered by the standards and practices they acquire through rigorous professional training. At Michigan State, we are committed to history in all its modern, multifarious, happily diverse manifestations. We offer exciting and innovative graduate training; and we are looking for graduate students who are ambitious self-starters, and people open to training that is itself open to change and dynamism. Here, through seminars, independent study, and close, guided relationships with faculty mentors, graduate students have the chance to learn, practice, and perfect the disciplinary, professional, and career-oriented aspects related to becoming a historian. We are looking for students who are willing to be active partners in an evolving community; so we expect students to take part in departmental matters – such as visiting lecturers, the graduate community, faculty searches, and so on – beyond the basic course requirements.

Tenants forced to have pets microchipped in Brighton and Hove
1:50pm Monday 25th February 2013 in News By Tim Ridgway
Thousands of tenants will be forced to microchip their pets – to stop hundreds of dogs being left abandoned on the streets.
Brighton and Hove City Council said the number of stray dogs in the city has doubled since 2008.
Of the 400 reported last year, local authority bosses said only half could be returned to their owners with the remaining 200 placed in over-burdened rescue homes.
To combat the problem, officials are telling all residents in its 12,300 properties they must register and microchip their pets with the council.
It will also ban tenants from "irresponsibly" breeding animals with anyone flouting the law facing a fine and possible eviction from their home.
It is understood that anyone who does not microchip their pet will also face a fine.
Liz Wakefield, chairman of the council's housing committee, said: "The council is supportive of pet ownership and we do help people to keep their pets when they are experiencing problems.
"But it is equally important for the community as a whole, that tenants are clear about the penalties for disregard of legislated animal welfare."
Irresponsible ownership
Letters are currently being sent to properties and community groups across the city informing them of the new policy.
It comes after a series of complaints from residents about irresponsible pet ownership.
One resident of a block in Grove Hill, Brighton, said she was getting little sleep as dogs in her building kept her awake.
She said: "When I moved into the block in 1987 it was for over 50s and no dogs were allowed so I had to let my beloved dog go.
"Now the place is full of dogs."
Dawn Barnett, who represents Hangleton and Knoll on the council, said there were cases in her ward where some tenants had three dogs in a one bedroom flat.
She added neighbours were complaining about antisocial behaviour, including late-night noise and fouling.
Coun Barnett said: "People who dump their pets on the street are not animal lovers. The council is 100% right on this and has to be done to stop cruelty to animals.
"To microchip a pet is to protect it."

I think it should be extended to say these animals should also be neutered as animal rescue centres insist. I was told a family in-breeding large breed dogs and selling for hundreds of pounds were in appaulling conditions in a council property, no tax paid, and no papers or vaccinations for the new owners, just lots of health problems.

I don't deny it is a positive thing to micro-chip your pets. Mine are both Chipped and insured from the day I brought them home. But, it says in the article it is only 'tenants' I take this to mean Council owned homes? - If so, how is this fair, tarring all with the same brush, for the sake of a minority of owners! It should be a rule for all pet owners full stop. Not just Tenants. There are thousands more homes in B & H, privately rented and owned.
It would require legislation to apply it all dog-owners. However, the government announced a couple of weeks or so back, that legislation will be introduced to make all dog-owners get their animals microchipped by 2016.

Thanks for that feedback. Perhaps, those who don't already have their dogs chipped, get it done sooner rather than later, as no doubt, come the 2016 legislation deadline, micro-chipping will suddenly go up in cost!

Responsible pet ownership is the aim.
Reducing strays and making owners accountable for their pets is common sense. It breaks my heart to see heartless landlords and letting agencies totally banning a tenants right to have a companion pet, especially as so many of us now live alone. We want to encourage the majority of good landlords and letting agencies to accept pets providing the owner is responsible and is happy to prove as necessary they will care for that pet properly and if necessary, with private tenancies be prepared to pay an additional deposit as an insurance should any damage occur. What we definitely do not want is irresponsible fly by night owners and to all be judged as such by way of finding unflexible landlords or letting agencies placing bans on the responsible good owners! We also want to stop the heartbreaking scenerio of pets being ripped apart from their loving owners and ending up in animal shelters when measures to protect both landlord, letting agent and tenant with well behaved and cared for pet are so easy to set up by way of pet tenancies (see Dogs Trust site) or petfriendlypropertie
s.org.uk. That way everyone is happy and a pet continues to live happily with it's owner with a landlords/letting agents approval and finally animal rehoming charities will no longer be struggling to cope with the tsunami of dumped pets (sadly many shelters are forced to euthanize perfectly healthy animals due to sheer lack of space and funds). The answer to all this is in sensible requirements and agreements between landlord and tenant.

How can council tenants even afford pets when they're on the benefits they claim are hard to live on?
Wow, this must be the first initiative the council has introduced that I agree with. Great news!

NAtty Greene's has got some good beers out and its about time they started bottling them. This is a decent brown ale that has a roasted aroma with a bit of chocolate. It tastes just about as good as it smells. Certainly an awesome brown ale, but not the best i've had. While i really like that Natty Greene's is bottling beers now, they are better on tap.

Pours a meium brown but with a few lighter notes near the bottem of the pint glass with pretty thin head,aroma is lightly sweet of chocolat a touch of nuttiness.Taste is very smooth lightly sweet but not overdone I picked up even a little caramel, no earthiness or nutty tones seemed to be more a northern England style brown then a nut brown.Very quaffable for the the style in my opinion a solid brown in my opinion.

On tap at Natty Greene's in Raleigh
Pours a deep, dark brown with a thin lacing of head. The nose has notes of sweet caramel and faint toast. The taste is caramelly, sugary sweetness, faint toast, faint yeast, and there's faint earthy hop bitterness in the finish. The mouthfeel is medium bodied and lightly carbonated.
This ones a little sweet at times which for me detracts from its drinkability, but overall it's decent brown ale.

Pours an effervescent caramel/chestnut color with a pinky of mocha colored head. Not much head retention or lacing
S: Toastyness to the nth power, some toffee
T: Much toastyness, a kisss of brown sugar & nuttyness, plus some herbal hops up front. Dryness, mineral hoppyness & toastyness blend together as this warms. Finishes dry with toffee sweetness & toastyness & just a whisper of astringency
MF: Light/medium bodied, fairly low carbonation
Pretty sessionable, nice example of a well put together English brown. Was slightly better on draft IMO

Served from bottle into a Dogfish Head Signature glass. Pours a massively dark brown with a red hue when held up to the light with a one finger off-white head that subsides to a minimal amount fairly quickly. Maintains decent lacing throughout the glass. The aroma is comprised of roasted malt, chocolate, and subtle coffee beans. The flavor is of roasted malt, cream, bitter chocolate, and subtle coffee. It has a medium feel on the palate with medium-high carbonation. Overall this is a pretty nice brew. The aroma and flavor on this one are nothing at all like I expected, but this is in a good way. Well balanced flavor and aroma. Will definitely be having this one on tap next time I'm at the brewpub. I suggest you either do the same or find a bottle.

This is a good american brown ale. It poured nicely with a deep brown color and a humble head. It had a pleasing moderate hop bitterness which gave way into a nutty malt finish. It's a bit less sweet than a lot of brown ales I have had, but this isn't a bad thing. It was quite drinkable and satisfying.

A: Pours a nice dark brown color with an off white head that fades quickly.
S: Strong roasted malt character with chocolate aroma right up front.
T: Flavor of pumpernickel dominates with a slightly charred nutty flavor at the end.
D: Decent brew, not my favorite though.

Served on tap, came to me in a pint glass with about 1.5 fingers of head clinging to the pint glass. Normally Not a big fan of Natty Green's, but gave this one a try for 2 bucks and was glad I took the risk!
A-was dark brown, with ruby highlights when held up to the light.
S-was a little weak, some nuttiness and chocolate/toffee flavors which had me wondering if i overpaid.
T- was spot on for the style, got a good bit of nuttiness accentuated by caramel, toffee and chocolate. Finish was lightly bitter.
M- felt very nice on the palate with a nice creamy texture to it. A little too much carbonation but I'm not one that likes an overcarbonated beer.
Drinkinability was fair, I could easily enjoy a few of these!
Overall very solid offering out of a local brewery and one I'm sure to enjoy over!

12 oz bottle poured into a nonic.
4.7% ABV, no date.
Thanks to Onenote81 for the N.C. gift pack :)
A - A moderately aggressive pour fills the pint with an effervescent dark ruby mahogany-colored beer and a quickly fleeting inch of khaki foam. Lace is absent from the pint and only a thin ring of bubbles remains.
S - The beer's aromatic, yeasty quality disappears with the head, leaving it tough-to-smell, but a swirl brings back some scents of booze-soaked wood and plum which is interesting considering it's low ABV. Slight cardboard undertones poke out around roasted malt, which imparts bittersweet chocolate and cocoa nuances though the majority of the malt is a pale base with caramel hints. Very earthy in nature.
T - Malty and straightforward, Old Town Brown has a simple base with a nice addition of roasted malt for a pinch of dark chocolate and coffee nuance to it. Subtle woody earth notes combine with dark fruit yeast esters well on the finish.
M - Highly effervescent, abundant carbonation is a bit distracting from the rest of the beer. The mouthfeel is otherwise smooth and medium bodied with a light dry and mildly acrid bitter finish.
O - Kind of all over the board, Natty Greene's Old Town Brown manages to keep a couple things consistent; detrimental high carbonation and moderate earthiness. The roasted malt works well though this beer, adding nice nuances, but the rest of it could use a little work.

12 oz received as a bitchin extra from Onenote81.. Thanks Jon!! This is a new to me brewery... Poured into my shaped SA glass.
1" lite tan head dies back fairly quickly with a good cap and a brew that is deep brown and then just brownish red when held to a light..
Aroma is a little toffee and just a bit of a nutty maltiness... as expected for the style.. just enough going on to keep it interesting..
Flavor again has a good amount of nutty maltiness with a shotgun of lite caramel... a fairly large toasty element mid palate... as it warms a bit of chocolate emerges.. and possibly some diacetyl too... just a tad buttery.. but that's all good.. so far.. this is a nice English brown that is sorta surprising me.. even is sorta minerally too.. I like it.
the body is lite/medium with a good carbonation..
It's not often that I get a chance to try a good American Stance on such an established style.. but I am pretty impressed.. I would love to check out more Natty Greene beers... Now I just have to remember to look for them!! No kidding.. You want my Deschutes or Grand Teton locals.. let's do business :-)
Thanks again Jon on the super trade!

Dark chestnut brown under a nice, creamy tan head. Creamy, nutty aroma...more toasty than roasty with a solid dose of toffee, brown sugar, and chocolate. Smooth caramel and bittersweet chocolate malt flavor. Nuts, dark bread, and a light raisin sweetness. Just a whiff of hops. Smooth, lightly drying medium body. Nice local brown ale! Not sure why I overlook this so often, but it hits the spot when wanting something malty and sessionable.

Had the chance to try pretty much the entire lineup from Natty Green's and I just do not pass up the opportunity to try these things.
Nice pour here and about what I would expect. Light brown in color with a small off white head on top that faded out quickly and left only light lacing on the glass. Nice aroma of molasses and brown sugar on top of some decent malts. Warming brought out some nice sweet notes as well. Smooth even flavor here. Clean with hints of brown sugar and molasses as well as an herbal bitterness toward the back of the palate. Little light on the body for me but it was still very drinkable.
Overall a nice little sessionable brown ale, little light on the body but pretty big on the flavor. Would not mind going after this one again one day, but dont know if I would seek it out.

Drank on-tap at City Steam Brewery, Hartford, CT
Poured a clear, dark mahogany with a tight, white, one-finger head that left an intricate webbing of lacing down the glass.
The aroma was super oaky and dry. When I smelled the beer, all ll I could imagine was a dry white wine.
The flavor was similar to the aroma except perhaps a bit more complex. As in the nose, the oak flavor dominated. White wine-like qualities were again apparent. Quite woody, dry and tannic with green grape notes. Some bright, lemony, citric qualities came through in the center along with a touch of warming alcohol. The beer finished right where it started. Dry, oaky and quite tannic with a lasting, woody aftrertaste.
Mouthfeel was medium bodied, smooth and creamy with a fine, moderate effervescence.
Drinkability was decent. Although the oaky notes were quite overwhelming, the alcohol prowess of this brew was rather well masked.
This was quite an interesting biere de garde. Never before have a sampled a beer that had such overwhelming white wine-like characteristics. I am usually a fan of oak aging but I feel the brewer got a bit carried away with this offering.

Poured from on tap at the brew pub. Pours a cloudy brown color, average off-white head that settled into a sparse cap. The aroma was faint, some brown sugar and maple syrup. The taste was of brown sugar, maple syrup, vanilla, oak, caramel and some sort of spice. The brew had a moderate body with prickly carbonation, sweet overall and had some alcohol belly burn. A unique biere de garde, very sweet with a big maple syrup presence.

Poured into a tall pilsner style glass at City Steam Brewery Cafe, this cold Biere de Garde (Farmhouse Ale) shows a darkish caramel color with a sturdy white layer of fuzz on top and very solid lacing. The aroma is brown sugar and caramel wheat and herbal berry hints, very interesting, a touch medicinal but in a good way I think. There's also some lemon flower here. Then the first mouthful brings a cloying mid to full bodied wave of soapy clove with an oak undercoating. It delivers sweet vanilla cream and a lazy licorice backdrop that collects at the back of your mouth. The soapiness relents a bit as you go, thankfully, and it becomes a unique blend of woodsy clove and malt. Midland drinkable although it's not so much the alcohol as the thick "soapy" quality I pick up. I enjoyed it as something kind of different and would definitely recommend it for a try.

Thanks to FooFaa for sharing this growler on 3/4/10.
A - Poured a clear reddish bronze with a finger's width of creamy beige head that receded into a thin film.
S - Fruit and sweet aroma with hints of apple and honey. Reminds me of a caramel-dipped candy apple. Hop presence is faint, although I detect trace amounts of light floral notes.
T - Like the aroma, the flavor is sweet and caramely with a fleshy fruit character akin to crisp apples and a dose of honey to further sweeten the pot. Finishes with some bittersweet floral hop notes.
M - Medium bodied with a syrupy texture and light carbonation. Mouthfeel is quite soft, smooth and silky overall. Finish is bittersweet on the palate.
D - Solid Biere de Garde, although I understand this was much nicer on tap. I'll take your word for it, Slatetank.

Had on tap at the brewery
Appearance: 1/4 inch head, clear, amber in color, moderate carbonation,
Smell: light oak and dark fruit--not the strongest smell
Taste: apple, dark fruit, vanilla and light oaking as it warms
Mouthfeel: sweet with light bitterness, light bodied with medium carbonation
Overall: Interesting and surprisingly light for the abv. One of the better beers I have had from City Steam. I like the apple taste and will pick this up again.

Thanks to FooFaa for sharing a growler.
A-Brownish copper with a thin light tan head that reduced to a thin veil and left spotty lace.
S-Lightly sweet caramel malt, biscuit grains with apple and honey. This is like an apple muffin, just like it was described to me!
T-Much like the aroma, flavours of sweet caramel and honey covered apple override a light spicy hop presence.
M-Medium bodied with a light slickness and a mildly bittersweet finish.
D-Quite nice. Fruit and honey sweetness mix well with caramel and spicy hops. An interesting flavour profile that works well and equates to a pleasant brew.

Served on-tap in a 14-oz. pilsner glass at City Steam Brew-Ha-Ha Comedy Club in Hartford, Conn.
A: Poured a deep, reddish amber color with a thin, frothy head of off-white foam which left little to no lacing on the glass. Clarity is excellent and the color is vibrant and inviting.
S: Lots of fruity esters with a range from muted pear and apple to red raspberries. A whiff of spicy booze permeates the fruity and slightly floral aroma.
T: Sweet, luscious and fruity malts dominate the palate with very little in the way of bitterness. Any heat is derived from the higher ABV as a result of the malt-rich blend. Hints of caramel, roasted grain, raspberries and cherries fill the palate with a smooth, yet boozy and somewhat herbal and cloying finish.
M: Full-bodied brew with some slightly sticky and puckering fruity esters as well as a warming, boozy alcohol bite.
O: This was a very enjoyable brew, but a French Biere de Garde? I don't think so. Either the recipe changed to that of an American Strong Ale (which it is described as such on the menu) or my understanding of the style is far too obtuse. Regardless, Careless Love is a very tasty, sweet, fruity and strong malt-bomb to warm the palate, body and soul.

The last beer stop on our trip coming back from Kate the great day - I ordered this on tap -served in a tall pils glass
A - A medium dark brown shad w/ good clarity and 1/2 in of light beige cap w/ lace streamers that hold on to the glass
S - A 'apple muffin' smell as FooFaa said is apparent - mildly apple yeast and slight cinnamon note w/ a bready malt accent and light biscuit-like earthy notes
M -A clean feel w/ mild maltiness and crisp carbonation - hints of toasted malt w/ moderate hop bitterness very clean texture
T - A sweet mild fruit taste w/ gentle toasted malt flavor and mild cinnamon-like spice from the yeast w/ mild herbal hop notes and bran-like sweet cereal quality
D - A very drinkable Biere de Garde especially considering it drinks like a session brew practically - the carbonation level is perfect giving it a lighter feel w/ refreshing malty lager quality-not something you usually say for a beer over 7% - the beer has plenty of noble hop character to balance

A nice deep amber with a small tannish head that drops to a film in a tall pilsner- type of glass.
The smell is dried fruits and vanilla.
Taste is very sweet....caramel,vanilla,some slightly acidic apple , pear...some other fruits..berries?....layers of flavor..a bit of alcohol...a very nice brew.
Mouthfeel is high end of medium with kind of low carbonation.
It all works well together...very drinkable.
I've had this a few times in the last year or so and it is consistently good.

Served in a pilsner glass. Somewhat cloudy, chestut colored. It has a thick look to it. Sorry to give a low number for appearance because it's not Ron's fault - the server just poured it right to the rim with no head whatsoever. A light aroma of sweet malt and fruits. Flavor is immediately sweet without being cloying, and is rich and complex, driven by nuances of butterscotch, sweet pear, ripe apple, rich doughey malts, and caramel. Each of these play off each other, no one takes center stage at any time, but they all play their part. Finishes with a marshmallow flavor, and rolls off the back of the tongue with a banana flourish. An understated citrus hop rides beneath. Mouthfeel is full and creamy, and finishes with a tingle of carbonation. Amazing beer.

good beer we have here.
served in a pilsner glass, like carolus at delaney's. looks similar too.. a reddish brown with nice head and aroma.. wow. sweetness. sugar and fruits. taste is like a really light chocolate.. not like a porter, like a chocolate-covered-raspberry. adding to the sweetness. and caramel character. light at the same time, but full of flavor.
i could have drank this all day, but i have work to do. helped me with my pool game. could i get this in a 20oz'er with a mug club membership?
$35 seems cheap now.

Draught @ Brewpub: This was quite the nice brew. The color was a slightly reddish shade of copper, and was fairly clear. The head was small and tan. The aroma was interesting: There was a lot going on there, but I got some notes of floral, vanilla, oak, caramel, and many other unidentified aromas. The taste was quite good. It was sweet, with some caramel, vanilla, fruits, all coming together to make a really good brew.

As noted by others, this comes served in a tall pilsner flute.
Deep mahogany in color with some visible cabonation but little in the way of a head.
The nose speaks of mild fruits and caramel malty goodness. Dark cherries, bready scents and caramel are here.
Flavor is balanced, with the bread & dark fruits vying for supremacy on the palate. Just past midsip there's a slight alcohol feel in the back of the mouth that plays nicely.
Mouthfeel is solid, slightly creamy with an almost liquor feel that's not at all unpleasant.
I could spend a long time drinking this.

4.72/5 rDev +16.5%
Presentation: Served in a very oversized (22oz?!) Pilsener glass
Appearance: Darker orange-clear, slightly golden. Short off-white head (due to the bartender's pour, he made every cup overflow so that the head was short). The head quickly became very rocky before dissipating to a thin froth with sustained lacing.
Smell: Covertly sweet, smells a bit vinous. Odd smell for a beer that nevertheless is quite nice.
Taste: Nothing like what I expected from the smell! Oak, vanilla, coconut (especially in the aftertaste). Alcohol is extremely well hidden. Everything is sweet, not to the point of cloying, but just right. Phenomenal.
Mouthfeel: Just in the middle of light and heavy, perfectly coats the mouth and conveys the beer's flavors very well.
Drinkability: What can I say? It goes down with an unparalleled smoothness, yet brings rich flavors with it. I've never had a beer this strong finished so fast. I only bought one because I wanted to keep my senses for the Hartford bar tour.
Notes: This is the first time I've had this style. The best beer that I've ever had. If only they could sell it bottled or in growlers. CT laws suck! The only downside for this beer.

This beer stole the show during my trip yesterday. Humble Patience recommended it while drinkin earlier in the day. Thanks!
The beer arrives in a tall fluted pilsener glass. The brew is a clear mahogany color with an edge layer of off white head.
Aroma is actually fairly sweet with some toffee mixing with berries, cherries and vanilla. Very appealing!
First sip reveals a very fine gentle carbonation and average body.
Flavor is sweet and alittle sugary up front. I get cherries and raspberries with some light caramel as well. This flows to some pears and finishes with a touch of vanilla. Very smooth and easy to drink for 7.2%! Wish I could have had a growler of this one! I would have probably poured a glass for breakfast!
Go get it now!!!
