MEBANE — He must have lain alone for months, hidden in the weeds, shaded by a Howard Johnson's billboard.
He stood maybe 4-foot-11 and weighed 50 pounds or more – tall and skinny for his age. He had straight, dark-brown hair, and he'd had good dental care, judging by the sealant on his teeth.
At one point in his life, a mother must have held him and given him a name. It's a safe guess he'd gone to school somewhere and made some friends at recess, maybe tossed a football or climbed the monkey bars. I'm willing to bet he'd opened a present or two some Christmas morning, maybe posed for a picture under a tree.
I hope so. All we know about this 10- or 12-year-old child is that somebody dumped his body on Industrial Drive outside of Mebane, and after 15 years, nobody has come looking for him.
The world has no picture of John Mebane Doe other than an artist's reconstruction based on his bones – the skeleton found wearing size 3 sneakers and a pair of khaki shorts with $50 in the pocket. So little is known about this boy that the brand name on his shorts seems a vital clue: Fox Polo Club. The label on his shoes seems a detail too important to omit: 2XS Sport.
Everything else has vanished like the cars that whizzed past his body on Interstate 40, close enough that a discarded cigarette might have landed on him.
I learned about "John" last week when the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children circulated his story, hoping to pry loose a clue about a child dead since 1998, found by a grass-cutting crew almost exactly 15 years ago to the day. The group's website offers a page of horror-story statistics: 800,000 children under 18 reported missing, to name one.
But the worst thing about John's case isn't the manner of his death, which is sure to have been grisly. The most harrowing fact is that police don't think anybody ever reported him missing.
That's an incredible amount of neglect to digest. It's hard to imagine a world where a child can exist as a ghost, where no parent, grandparent, uncle, aunt, cousin, neighbor, friend, classmate, teacher, principal, postal worker or babysitter would notice he's gone – let alone care enough to mention it. That's not falling through the cracks. That's living in a hole.
Orange County sheriff's investigators found no blood at the site or on the boy's clothing. Because of the barrier along the interstate, they concluded a car must have exited the freeway and turned down the small, nondescript road. They chased down leads in Massachusetts, Florida and all over the country. Missing-persons agencies combed their databases looking for matches. Detectives went so far as to survey insects at the site.
In 2008, a decade after his death, sheriff's investigators announced they had exhausted all leads and offered a $5,000 reward for tips.
They'd had a hard road from the beginning. The car that carried John Mebane Doe might have come from anywhere east or west on I-40, or anywhere north or south on I-85. Consider that in 1990, another body turned up only 11 miles away down I-40, just off New Hope Church Road exit. Jane Hope Doe was maybe 18, 5-foot-4 and 115 pounds, found in a pink sweatshirt with three bunnies on the front, an appendectomy scar on her abdomen.
We drive past these grim and unsolved puzzles every day. They persist by the highway's edge, next to churches and gas stations, where people sometimes disappear and we promise to keep looking.

By Roop RajFox 2 News ReporterIt's been nearly three months since Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson was badly injured in a car crash and almost died. He is now talking candidly about the accident and how it has changed his life.While Patterson is used to a hectic schedule, he says he is slowing down to spend more time with his family and take care of himself."I think I'll take time to smell the roses, spend a little more time with the grand kids. I was handing out candy with them a couple of nights ago on Halloween, probably something I didn't do on a regular basis over the years. I'm going to take advantage of those opportunities when I can be granddad."Someone out there may be asking the question whether Brooks Patterson is strong enough to lead Oakland County after this accident. How does he answer that?"Of course," he said. "This is not going to diminish my ability at all. It's changed me, but not in a sense that it's made me slower.""I'm a firm believer that prayer does, in fact, have an impact. I think the Lord listens and he said, 'Okay, we'll give that jerk who doesn't use his seat belt one more chance."This accident spared him, but it also took a toll on him. Patterson looks different. We asked him about that."A 34 pound loss will make you look different. I saw my picture in the paper and I said, 'Who is that handsome young guy." My daughter Mary says, 'That's you, pop.' So, yeah, I didn't even recognize myself.""My appetite has changed. It really has. I stopped last night after an appearance in Detroit for a Coney Island. I normally wolf those down, but it was not the bill of fare that I had remembered.""I've been given a five, ten year lease, and I want to make sure that I take care of everything, everybody is going to be in good shape before I check out."Patterson says he has never talked about his religion all that much, but he seems to have become more religious talking about his Roman Catholic faith.Meanwhile, Patterson says he's confident but not over confident about the race against Democrat Kevin Howley. He told me several times that he looks forward to serving again, if given the chance, for one more term.His daughter has a joke about all of Brook's children -- Oakland County, she says, is his favorite. You can also tell by talking to him that he also looks forward to spending time with his other family, too.

As of Sunday, September 16, 2012
© Copyright 2014 Gwinnett Daily Post
Were you Spotted?
SUWANEE -- By 10 a.m., a break-dancing competition had broken out. Aromas disparate as fresh fudge, kettle corn and Greek lamb kabobs swirled. And thousands thronged a sunny lawn.
On its signature day, Suwanee made no haste in getting the party started.
The civic brouhaha that is Suwanee Day began in May 1984, when about 75 people coalesced on Buford Highway near a stop sign. Suwanee's first traffic signal wouldn't be installed until the following year.
Roughly that many people queued Saturday morning to glad-hand with reigning Miss Georgia, Leighton Jordan, and Olympic swimmer Amanda Weir. The Suwanee residents smiled for iPhone photos and autographed everything handed to them. Weir bedazzled kids (and fathers) when she allowed them to hold her weighty bronze hardware from London.
"There's nothing like this (festival) in Adairsville," said Jim Lee, who'd trekked from the northeast Georgia city with his wife to hang with their 5-year-old granddaughter, who lives nearby.
The 29th incarnation of Suwanee Day was expected to break last year's attendance record of 50,000, with '80s hit-makers The Smithereens and a fireworks show wrapping the night. Volunteer ranks have swelled since the early days to 266, and the number of vendor booths to a record 225, said Suwanee events manager Amy Doherty.
"We start game-planning in October," said Doherty. "We work the whole year to make the next year better."
The festival has seen challenges. After a string of rain-soaked celebrations, its date was moved in 1990 from May to September. And in 2001, just four days after the terrorist attacks of that September, leaders grudgingly decided to move forward despite the nation's mourning.
It worked. A then-record 10,000 came out.
By 11 a.m., festival-goers were log-jamming vendor aisles. The shaded "man cave," replete with couches and different games on three televisions, was starting to populate. The wand-waving "Bubble Man" enchanted children near the stage.
Gasped one woman: "That's the biggest bubble I've ever seen!"

text: An interesting addition could a ThemeRoller-like (example) approach to styling the provided UI elements. This tool/wizard could help us to create a new s40-theme.css with different colors and font sizes in the same way that people have been doing with jQueryUI for ages. IMHO, it would be a very useful tool. What do you think?

I have been aquiring several Cadets over the last year or so. All the ones I have are narrow frame, and I have a couple of duplicates. I have 2-122's, and am hoping to get another 124. Here is my problem/question. I have kinda decided I would like to have one of each of the narrow frame gear drive cadets, so can I take the extra 122 I have, find a 10 hose put it in it and make a 102? Were the serial numbers on the rear ends specific to the model, or just the time frame they were made?
Also, I went to a guy who had a BUNCH of old cadets sitting behind his lawn mower shop. He had a 70, 71, and a 72. To my surprise the 71 was a gear drive. Are there any other odd numbered gear drive narrow frames I am going to have to find? 73?

Let's be clear about something; if you can't handle heat, you aren't man (or woman) enough for this beer. 6 of us sampled this, and we all enjoyed it. I am not even a big fan of spice, and thoroughly enjoyed it.
A: Cloudy, murky and dark amber
S: peppers. Lots of peppers. It almost smells like a jalapeño pizza with extra jalapeños.
T: First, you're assaulted with a wave of intense heat. Take a small sip and swirl it just to coat your mouth and get the initial shock over with. After that, take the time to enjoy it. There is a lot of good in the taste, some caramel and roasted flavors, a little vanilla, and some buttery notes before being once again washed out by the heat. The finish is pure heat.
M: Dense and oily, this beer coats your throat the entire way down.
O: A rather enjoyable, if somewhat masochistic, brew from Stone. You will NOT want to finish a bottle on your own. I had about 4 ounces and was done. I could feel the capsaicin burn from my mouth all the way down into my stomach, and every burp tasted like jalapeño pizza afterwards. I'd honestly recommend anyone try this beer, just don't focus too much on the heat and it's pretty damn good.

Listen Guy, this is the worst beer I have ever had besides Crime. Do not waste your money, sobriety or time. The smell made me want to throw up. My 3 friends and I could not drink more than a sip each. We poured ours out and drank a Founders Backwoods Bastard to bring our palates back.

Confession: I'm not big on hot peppers,but in recent years I've gotten a bit more into spicier foods. I'm a bit intimidated by this one. Deep brown hued with a bit of light haziness. A quarter inch of khaki colored head rests on top. Odd aroma from the chilies and peppers almost gives it a cinnamon sweet aroma. Not inviting. Whoa! That first taste tells me all I need to know. I'm way out of my league. All I get is a burning sensation and a scorched palate. My tongue and especially my lips are burned. I think my chances of finishing this are zero. I can't recall the last time that happened. I honestly poured the rest out without another sip. FAIL!

Dark amber and ruby with a thin light brown head and leaves spotted lacing down the glass.
A touch of caramel in the aroma and then lots and lots of face-smacking spice--smells like spicy jalapeno juice. Interesting, though perhaps even too powerful.
This beer starts similarly to the aroma: a faint hint of caramel and toffee sweetness, and then a stinging, spice flavor. This one seemed even more hot and spicy than it's little brother, Crime. This is Crime on spicy steroids! Tough to drink much, if any, of this beer, though it is unique and worth trying (once!).
Medium mouthfeel.
If given the choice, I'd drink Crime before drinking Punishment.

Pours a murky brown color with a smallish tight toasted khaki head.
The aroma is malty sweet. Big caramel and toffee notes. There is a strong vegetal aroma from the peppers. A little heat detected. Lots of vanilla from the barrel. Quite a strong aroma; the veggie notes is a tad too strong.
The taste is of a sweet brown malt along with caramel and vanilla. The heat from the peppers blasts through the sweetness. Again quite vegetal. It's quite sweet and the veggie flavor seems to bring the sweetness past cloying. The heat from the peppers is used as an offset. The heat doesn't bother me as much as the veggie flavor.
The body is moderate with soft carbonation. Quite sweet on the palate and sticky in the finish. Plenty of heat but I seem not to have too much of an issue with it. Sweetness is cloying.
Punishment didn't seem to bother me as much as crime. It is still too sweet and vegetal for my liking.

Find and fill the gaps in your security operations
Even with increased spend on security these days, most enterprises don't have enough time or in-house talent to cover the growing demand. It simply takes too many valuable resources to stay up to speed on the latest threats, technologies, and compliance issues.
HP can help. Our Managed Security Services extends your team's capabilities, leveraging the expertise of more than 5,000 security experts to improve your security posture, reduce risk, and increase security effectiveness.
Through our portfolio of managed, monitored, and intelligence security services, you can:
We provide the most complete security portfolio in the market, with everything you need from the endpoint to the data center. And we work with you towards the solutions that fit your unique enterprise, integrating and coordinating services across your environment. It's all part of securing what matters most to you.
Global and regional security operations centers (SOCs)
Your enterprise operates on a global scale, which means geographic, cultural, geopolitical, and sovereignty concerns often define where and with whom you can work—and how you secure and monitor your data. That's why HP works where you work: from our network of 8 global Security Operations Centers, HP provides monitoring, management, and threat remediation, 24/7/365, for clients all around the world. Via these sites, we cover over 7,000 enterprise networks: closing new vulnerabilities, updating firewalls, restoring compromised data, and getting damaged systems back online.
MSS Portal
Included in every HP Managed Security Service is access to the MSS Portal. It is a single window into your security environment and a critical part of risk mitigation, establishing better visibility across your enterprise IT. This "next gen" security portal presents a consolidated view of risk-to-attack in a business-friendly format. It brings together information security data from across the enterprise into one central location and translates it into easy-to-understand visuals and reports.
More than just about securing the perimeter, this tool is about enabling your enterprise and ensuring you can focus on the right information and issues at the right time.
Security Management
You know that security must permeate your enterprise, but it stretches your resources thin to keep up with changes, support business objectives and maintain compliance in a multifaceted, multi-supplier IT environment. HP enables cost-effective, measurable risk reduction by providing day-to-day security management, freeing you to focus on key issues that impact your business. Effective collaboration between our analysts and your teams and suppliers can achieve end-to-end compliance transparency of your organization's security strategies, policies, standards, and processes.
Security Monitoring
It's about constant vigilance. You need real-time security monitoring to support threat detection, incident response, and organizational risk management decisions. Utilizing ArcSight technologies, HP Security Monitoring is designed to help you understand who is on the network, what information they are seeing, and which actions they are taking with the information. Three hundred sixty degree security monitoring to detect incidents empowers a level of visibility that can protect the business while reducing operating costs.
Threat Intelligence
It's hard to prepare when you don't know what's coming your way. HP's targeted Threat Intelligence solutions bring together valuable information from traditional structured and emerging unstructured data sources. We collate, analyze and disseminate this information in easy-to-digest ways. This helps clients see issues faster, prepare better, and pre-empt where possible.
Security Incident Response

Put our team to work for you with seamless and integrated monitoring services, actionable threat intelligence, and incident remediation services to resolve adverse security events. Our Security Operations Center (SOC) analysts watch for problems around the clock, ready to react remotely or on-site as needed to protect your environment and help keep you secure.

A Farewell to Comic-FonA column article, Comics Bulletin Soapbox by: Dylan Garsee
To someone such as myself born in the swamplands of southeast Texas, the towering mountains of west Texas are especially awe inspiring and almost surreal. I was almost happy to absorb their majesty filtered through a car window at such a high speed; to simply stand in their presence seems like it would be overwhelming, like that one time I met Michael Clarke Duncan when I was twelve. There's something in taking a road trip that really can't be described with words. Driving over every winding road with the world expanding ad infinitum with Paul Simon's Graceland blasting out the stereo, the wind throwing the stale air conditioning out the window and replacing it with sun kissed oxygen is something to be experienced.
This was hour three.
Fast forward 15 hours to the Arizona desert. The moon missed the memo to show up this night, and the state government would rather spend tax dollars on racism than street lights. All of the music on my iPhone has been played several times over except for the Swans album The Seer, which is the kind of drone excess that perfectly scores driving through a light deprived state in a sleep deprived state. Even the unfiltered stars that shone above me played second fiddle to the relief I felt from peeing on the unfiltered desert sand. Hell became this trip, and we were still a state away.
All this for Comic Con.
I went last year, and even though I vowed never to step foot in the overcrowded hell scape that is San Diego Comic-Con, I was somehow possessed to attend this year. The lines, the scale, the amount of people dressed up as Dr. Who (I'm sorry, THE DOCTOR) was just too overwhelming for me last year and with the added stress of driving instead of flying and spending all of my money on said driving just tainted the whole experience. It's like associating your old favorite song with an ex: You may still try to like the song, it's just you hate the person, therefore you hate the song.
So on this, August 7th, 2013, I hereby proclaim that I will never go to Comic-Con again (unless I become super famous, which, lets face it, isn't happening anytime soon).
Let me clear two things up right off the bat: I know this sounds like "my wallet can't hold all of my $100 bills". Yes, I went to Comic-Con for free, and if I never started writing for the site, my life would be drastically different, and I am eternally grateful. Also, I had fun. 49% of my time in San Diego, I loved. It just happened to be 100% of the time I wasn't at the Con.
Now back to your regularly scheduled rant.
In the age of the reddit and The Big Bang Theory, everyone is a nerd at some level. The last panel of Comic-Con I attended was on bullying, and one of the panelist said the most honest thing I heard the whole time. She basically said that you can't assume everyone that likes Star Wars is a benevolent, angelic nerd that exists in the world only to love. Star Wars isn't this unknown entity that only the cultural elite are familiar with. Everyone has seen Star Wars. "Nerds" need to get off their high horse and realize that people aren't defined by what they consume culturally.
With some of the panels that I attended this year, along with conversations I overheard while waiting in line for various panels, it's easy to say that the dewy-eyed "I'm a special snowflake because I like Doctor Who" mentality is in full effect, and isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
What makes Comic-Con and hardcore fandom in general inherently evil is its invisible hand that pits fans against fans in a sort of vying for the love of what they love. People shouldn't have to wait in line for a panel on Doctor Who for nearly 20 hours, like the thousands of people who were at the panel had to do. That sort of extreme devotion not only forbids others who may be interested in discovering something new, but also inhibits you, the person waiting in line, from seeing anything else. That's such a sad existence, to me at least, for your entire memory of Comic-Con to be "oh yeah, I waited in line to see an hour of Doctor Who. And if that's all you wanted to see in general, then I feel especially sorry for you, because there's a whole universe of things to be loved in the world, more tv shows and movies and books and songs to be loved, yet you devote all of your energy to one. All of your love to one tv show.
And if you're a big enough fan of something that you dress up as something from that something, then that's an even thinner line to walk on. Cosplaying is about the attention and the fantasy fulfillment. However, if you're cosplaying as Finn from Adventure Time, you better be either that super muscly guy
or something as creative, or you'll get lost in the sea of a thousand other Finn's (which I saw plenty of). Do I have any memory of their costumes besides that I saw a trillion other of the exact same? No. But I did, however remember he husband and wife that cosplayed as the old guy and the bird Kevin from Up. It was creative and done so well that I couldn't help but smile every time I thought of it. Unlike every time I saw a Harley Quinn, which was every ten seconds.
What I'm trying to say is "Comic-Con attendees: be more creative." It's okay to love something hyper popular. Hell, I love Taylor Swift. But just realize that so does everyone else. You are not a special snowflake because you love Star Trek. So until the geek community realizes that they are much larger than they'd like to believe, I'll just hang out at SXSW.

What the flying "F" is this crap. First it is far from an IPA, more like a light ale. Pours a golden color with minimal head and marginal lacing.
Very sweet in the nose and taste. Ughhhh this is awful stuff. Not sure they put one bit of thought into this.
Notes: Avoid at all costs this is the sweetest onesided IPA I've ever had. No matter what style they choose for this its a grassy mess.

This one is a golden colored brew with a one inch white head.
The aroma is of hops and spice.
Its flavor is hopy, but by no means is this a hop bomb. The finish is semi bitter, though there is a definite malt presence throughout. There is a bit of caramel malt and bready flavor to it.
Mouth feel is light bodied and highly carbonated.

This straw coloured with very little head, so we're off to a bad start. The nose is yeasty. Beyond that I can't make much out.
Tastes a little yeasty and feels a little too watery, although there is some decent carbonation and a pleasant yet rather acrid hoppy finish. There is no sweetness here, and no reason to drink more than one even though with such low alcohol content it would be easy to knock a few back. Now I have five more to get rid of....

The Bert Grant's India Pale Ale pours from the stubby bottle a crisp golden orange color with a nice half inch of bubbly white head atop. Aromas of light crystalline malts combine with a combination of floral, brickweed grassy and spicy citrusy hop tones. A bit of candy sweetness appears as well. Just doesn't really work for me.
First sip brings a crisp crystal maltiness upfront with a glaze of caramel that peeks through. Mid palate is dominated by an amalgamation of grassy, herbal, citric hop flavors. A bit bready with a spiciness probably contributed by the hops as well. Clean, full bitterness on the way down that lingers slightly. Eh....
Mouthfeel is crisp and medium bodied with good carbonation. Fits the bill nicely. A fairly run of the mill brew here that I don't think I'd seek out again. I'm much more a fan of the American IPA style wise.

Michael Jackson once called this the hoppiest IPA in the U-S. That was an older book....I have no idea if it changed or the rest of the U.S. changed but this is one of the most mediocre IPA's I've had with little hop goodness.
It looks more like a Helles Lager in the glass..bright gold with just a little haziness...Nose is sweet...earthy in some ways...definitely more English style hops but the malt backing doesn't feel "English" to me....basically tastes like a poor Pale Ale...light bodied....semi-sweet with a slight earthy hop taste...
A big let down...Not recommended..but there are worse beers you can drink

Aroma: Intriguingly yeasty for an IPA. Bitter, but not as aggressively as I had expected. Decently malty.
Appearence: Medium golden or straw colored. Well carbonated. 1/2 inch head is white and efforvescent.
Taste: Bitter, as expected, from the nose. Afterwards, gets weak quickly into the body. Bittering hops hold strong, but body gives way quickly. Finishes bitter and weak. Mildly malty and a bit yeasty.
Aftertaste: Bitter and metalic. Dry with little lingering malt.
Impression: Impressed with the attemp at reproducing an original IPA, but have become accostomed to better IPAs.

Poured a clear yellow with a moderate head that stuck around for a while. Smelled of hops, low malt, a spicyness in the aroma, plus the obligatory citrus, not much else. First drink I could immediately taste the hops, but could not taste much of anything else. Subsequent drinks, I was able to begin tasting some sweet malt, even a little bit of an earthy, fruity flavor. Wasn't incredibly moved or impressed with this beer. IPA is my favorite style, but this just didn't do too much for me.

Clear yellow body with about a fingers worth of white foam. Dies quickly leaving no lace at all. Fairly weak smell of citric hoppiness. No malt in the smell just a light hop. Bitter grapefruit hops with a dash of caramel malt backing it. Some biscuity malts in there as well. Ends on a lightly hopped flavor. While the flavor and smell are not bad they are both WEAK! Even for an English style IPA this doesnt have much life in it. Mouthfeel is a bit light while being crisp and clean. Ok drinkability here as there really isnt nothing bad about it. Though the mildness would get boring rather quickly.

Bert Grant's IPA showed up with a yellow transparent colour. A foamy head rose up and deflated. This looks like a mass produced lager.
The smell threw yeast and modest hopping at my nose.
The taste was light. Not very bitter. Not much interesting happening here. What a disappointment. This is a supposed recreation of 19th century British IPA. All I can say is, if that is true those poor fellows were really missing out.
The mouthfeel and drinkability were just like your average Joe beers. The label says medium body, but I wouldn't go that far. This stuff is an average Joe beer. Highly disappointing.
I hate to be so harsh, but I am really unsatisfied with this one. Maybe the American IPA's have jaded me. This is just a confirmation that good beer is alive and well. I have a renewed appreciation for the truly above average brews after trying this one.
Edit: 05-11-05 I had a few of these in the early morning after work one day. They were much better than I had awarded them credit for initially. Not a huge amount of character, but this is a nice middle of the road stop. Goes really good with some pub pizza too. I do not feel like re-doing my whole review. Plus that is how I felt at the time, so I have to respect that. Bert's is alright though.

First tasted courtesy of a vendor sample. I was delivered two cases, each with slightly different packaging. One of them tastes older than the other. The fresh one nearly matches my original review, only the bitterness seems more overwhelming than I remember. Inconsistency, or is it in my head? Anyway, I'm changing the taste score from "5.0" to "4.5."
Unashamed, brassy blond wood-colored liquid.
Biscuity, bread crusts toasted with a dab of butter combine with forest and August prairie grass perfumes.
Outrageaously refreshing for an IPA!
This never signed-up for the North American race to sticky sweet, Vermouth-flavored IPA. A perfect sword-edge of bitter tannins characterize lemon and herbs flavors on the dry finish. Silk-textured. Bone dry. What's really fun is the polished, classical frame that supports the intense dryness. I love the pale color and lack of sticky sweetness. Try drinking it warm folks. I intend to buy lots and drink it all.
Only after drinking and grading this beer did I notice that it is intended to represent what ACTUAL India Pale Ale tasted like 100 years ago. Can anyone honestly think that British soldiers would have consumed what passes for IPA in this country today? Not likely! They would have drunk beer like this: a DRY, intensely bitter pale ale, that quenches one's thirst and demands to be followed one with another.

I'll be honest right off the bat, this stuff was awful. It's not even worthy of a decent rating. Pours a clear golden, urine-like color with nearly no head after a strong pour. Lacing is decent at best. Seriously, I thought it tasted gross. Definitely not an IPA in any sense of the style..it's a Pilsner, and a bad one at that. no hops really present at all, certainly not high enough alcohol, and no quality ingredients.
Somewhat drinkable because of it's light mouthfeel and the almost necessity of having to chug this stuff in order to get any sort of value out of it whatsoever. Poor offering by Grant's..

12ozer bottle bought as a single from Oliver's Beverage in Albany, NY.
Poured into an imperial pint glass, formed a 1/2" bright white head above the golden brew. Head shows some resilience, with average to good lacing. Aroma is somewhat off-putting, with a bit of pale malt sweetness that is overcome by some veggie-matter tinges. Taste is initially sweet pale malt, and gives way to a slight hops bitterness. A bit sedate for even an English pale ale. Mouthfeel and drinkability are okay. Not a horrible brew, but lots of English IPAs will come to mind before this one.
Note that the bottle mentions that this is a faithful reproduction of the 19th century recipe, so it would seem they're not totally responsible for the lacking in some areas...

Clear light gold with a creamy white top that stays for a bit and leaves lacing. Smells like vanilla with a bit of almond, some cookie dough and white chocolate nougat - not what I expect from an IPA, but this is an "historical interpretation". Sweet lemon grainy biscuit flavor quickly turns over to a bitter resiny dryness that is slightly metallic and astringent. Feel is slick and thin with dirty hop leaves clinging to my teeth. This is an alright beer, fitting more into our modern idea of a bitter pale ale.

Pours a crystal clear light-medium amber gold, topped with a two finger marshmallowy white head, leaves webs of lacing.
Grainy, husk aroma, wood and leafy hop, floral.
Lemon zest, a bit harsh tasting, grainy/husky, apple, fruit, leafy and floral. Not enough hops or ABV even for a British style - maybe it's a pale ale.
If this is truly a traditional take then it's interesting to try, but it's not something I'd go back to.
Light bodied, very dry.

12 Oz bottle served in an english pint glass
Very slightly hazy golden yellow with medium density head. Little to no lacing.
Smell was light spicy citrus hops, faint malt. Smelled clean and fresh.
Taste was slightly disappointed after the better than average smell. This is a pretty typical IPA. Nice hops bite with a bit of malt and pine. Nice clean finish.
Although the taste is not outstanding, this is nevertheless one very drinkable beer. Would make a good selection when you want to have 3 or 4 of the same thing in a row.

Presented in a 12oz bottle just like the one in the highly educational picture. Poured into an imperial pint glass. A moderately aggressive pour yielded a brew with a clear golden color reminiscent of your favorite macro and topped with a lumpy bright white head that left sticky lace behind.
The smell had little in keeping with an India Pale Ale, English or American. This smelled more in line with a lager. Some grassy malts, fruity notes akin to pear or apple skins, and only a token hoppiness that required some real work to detect.
The taste at least brought out some more flavors which made me think (briefly) that this was patterned on a British IPA. Again with the grassy malts and fruity flavors. A vaguely tea-like taste skittered around and it all finished up with about the mildest lemony hops bite you could imagine and still care to refer to this beer as an IPA. In fact, the bittering reached it's height of appeal about 15 seconds after each sip/gulp was swallowed as a modest herbal hops flavor crept up the back of my throat. The feel was light and thin; again, not what I've come to expect from any IPA.
Bert Grant's IPA gets decent marks on drinkability simply because it's about as benign a beer as I've let past my lips in a while. It's not offensive; it's just not much of anything. Certainly you can find a better example of the style so save your funds and avoid this one.

Poured an average yellow color with minimal head and just a bit of lacing. Smell was mainly malt, very few hops were noted...almost reminded me of a lager. Taste was light malt with a faint hop bitterness in the finish...unspectacular for sure. Mouthfeel was light to medium, with a smooth quality. Drinkability was ok, smooth enough but where oj wher are the hops? A disappointment especially after their fine Porter.

12oz. bottle poured into a tulip-style glass. It pours a slightly hazy light tangerine color with one finger of head. There is just a little lacing. The smell is very light, not too strong. There is just a little bit of citrusy hops in there, not much else. The taste starts with bready malts, like biscuit or something. A little bit of piney hops on the finish, not much more. A little one-dimensional. The mouthfeel is fairly thick and smooth. The drinkability isn't bad either. An average IPA.

Calling this beer an IPA is stretching it. I found it light all the way around. The color was light -- a pale straw and very clear and clean. The aroma is light -- what's there is a slight English hop aroma. The flavor is light -- it's missing the malt and the hops. And the body is light, therefore, it's missing the alcohol levels of a good IPA, too. It just misses the style.
There are no real flaws in the beer. I found it crisp and refreshing. But it never would have made the trip from England to India. The hops and alcohol would not keep it from spoiling on the way.

The Savannah Philharmonic is raising the curtain on another fabulous season. On Monday, they launched their 2013-2014 season at the Lucas Theatre. It is also their 5th anniversary. The concert line up, sponsors and special events were announced during the event.
"We think everyone is a winner but Savannah audiences always get to vote for themselves. And in the past, all Savannah Philharmonic concerts have sold out so we are pretty sure we have put ourselves in the same position for that to happen again this year," said Peter Shannon, artistic director and conductor.

I agree with Elliott Erwitt: "To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them."
These black & white photographs were made as I drove around the southeast during my daily life and travels. Hand-painted signs are especially interesting to me. I hope you'll take the time to look at some of the page previews.

Event in Bethlehem promotes AIDS awareness, prevention
Published: Nov 30 2012 05:06:34 PM EST Updated On: Nov 30 2012 05:58:11 PM EST
Lehigh Valley Health Network is shining the spotlight on AIDS awareness and prevention.
Its annual World AIDS Day conference was held Friday at the Sands Hotel and Resort in Bethlehem.
The event brought together medical professionals, caregivers and students.
The focus this year was educating young people about prevention, early detection, and management of the disease.
Experts said 29 percent of persons living with HIV in 2011 were aged 20 years or younger.

METHUEN, Mass. —
He also posted a comment referencing the bombing of the Boston Marathon April 15, which killed three people and injured more than 270.
"(Expletive) the Boston bombing, wait til you see what I do. I'm going to be famous," Solomon said Dambrosio wrote. "And (Dambrosio wrote) he's going to beat every murder charge brought against him."
Dambrosio was arrested in June on an unrelated assault and battery charge.
In December, police arrested another Methuen High School student, Jacob Butze-Maille, after police said he told another student in school he wanted to pull another Columbine, and that he would buy an AK-47 and shoot people at school. The student reported the comments to administrators.
Butze-Maille was arrested Dec. 7 and charged with threatening to commit murder, intimidation of a witness, and willfully communicating a threat concerning a dangerous item.

It is hard not to compare Textures's two albums, but the important thing to remember is that the Textures seen on Polars is a separate animal entirely from the Textures shown on Drawing Circles. Case in point, I started with Drawing Circles and listened to Polars later, and my opinion of this album reflects that.
To put it bluntly, while Polars is swimming in ideas, none of them came out of the editing room polished, focused, or even alphabetized. Effectively they function as multiple bands playing parts of the same songs, with no honest integration or blending of sound. You're either listening to a metalcore part, a clean Holdsworth part, or saxophone. I don't want to spend more time than that discussing Polars, because I'm not here to review that particular album.
Drawing Circles shows absolute cohesion and form, in that everything flows into everything else. In fact, it's almost impossible to listen to just a few tracks on this album without naturally getting the rest of it stuck in your head all day long. It is reminiscent of Meshuggah's albums "I" or "Catch Thirty Three" without having the one-song mechanic sound forced; while all of the tracks have their own identities, they simply sound like they all belong on the same album.
So, why would I give such an album only four stars? I personally would have preferred somewhat more appropriate vocal work (don't get me wrong, the new guy is leaps and bounds better than the old guy), and more blending of the atmospheric soundscaping. Textures is effectively at their best when they forget they're metal, and focus instead on providing lush yet rich, well, textures of sound, in effect making music that sounds like an orange sunset worth headbanging to. Though, I do give them full credit for using this technique as much as they did.
All of that said, Drawing Circles still stands as an important work in the fledgling realm of progressive metal that isn't Dream Theater and associated wankery. It demonstrates an earnest attempt at achieving perfection in form, execution, and of course art, and only narrowly misses. My timing of this review is more to highlight that they have a new album coming out in April, which this reviewer is hoping will correct these minor flaws.
Suggested listening: "Stream of Consciousness", "Millstone", "Surreal State of Enlightenment"

Pours murky brown with a small head.
Nose shows rich sweet syrupy malt with some soft oxidative notes, a little booze, gingerbread, spicy phenols and a red wine note. Lovely.
Sweet flavours. Oxidative notes, brown sugar, woody notes, soft tannins and a strong port character. Some booze but it's reasonable well integrated.
Nice syrupy body and light carbonation.
Great stuff.

Thanks to Mrkennedy for sharing
Collaboration with kissmeyer
In Pinot noir and Shiraz barrels
A-- murky orange brown, off white head that falls to a collar. Some lacing and good legs.
S-- thick and juicy dark fruits, strawberry, caramel and touches of wine and oak. No hint of the ABV. Two or three snifs and could tell this was a winner.
T-- strawberry jam, plumb, caramel, soft cherries, wine and oak. Tasty. Quite tasty. Barrel notes are soft and well balanced with base beer.
M-- big feel, low carbonation. Sweet and sticky. Almost 15%??? No way.
O-- exceptional beer. Not a fan of moon dog but this is sublime stuff. Best thing to come out of here in a long time.

Got this one from BobbyHeenen. Cheers!
From a bottle into a snifter
Brewed at Kissmeyer Brewing
Malts: Pale, carahell, caraaroma, honey and dextros
Hops: Warrior, horizon, cascade and amarillo
Yeast: Abbey Mr. Special
Aged in ex Shiraz and Point Noir barrels
APPEARANCE: Pours a one finger, medium looking, slightly looser, off-white head with decent retention. Clear burnt umber in color with medium levels of carbonation for the style. Head fades to a partial wisp and foamy ring. Decent splotchy wisp remains but leaves no lacing down the glass. Good looking for the style.
SMELL: Nice red wine and oak aromas on the nose, Toffee, caramel, light coconut and vanilla with hints of melon as well. Aromatic and complex.
TASTE: Lots of flavor here. Boozy as well. Red wine, oak, with some spicy alcohol up front. Malt sweetness and more alcohol through the middle into a bold and lingering finish of oak, wine and grapes, toffee and caramel sweetness, vanilla and a bit of melon and molasses. Some red fruit in there as well. Quite flavorful with lots of complex, sweet flavors and notes from the wood aging. Very well balanced and layered.
PALATE: Medium body and slightly higher levels of carbonation. A little prickly on the palate, goes down okay with a bit of a burn at the swallow and finishes a touch sticky. Some heat lingers. Not quite creamy enough for top marks, but okay.
OVERALL: This was really nice. Really liked this. Piles of complex, interesting and enjoyable sweet flavors on this one, making it one worth pondering over long period. Or perhaps over large volumes, if you've got enough and are up for the challenge. The alcohol and heat is perhaps the only thing keeping it back from being other-worldly, though that isn't really that big of an issue. A creamier feel would help the candidacy as well. An excellent barleywine that I would love to drink again. Thanks again for the brews Bobby!

After I tell everyone I still have this in my fridge I get the same response "mate what are you doing drink it" well tonight it's time and it pours a dirty bronzed honey amber hue which leaves no head but some leggy lacing here and there which just yell I'm very boozy and yeah it looks like 14%,the smell is bourbon,Shiraz,oak,a slight herbalness and a Ton of Redgum honey,the mouthfeel is full bodied with low carbonation but suits and has tastes of strong Redgum honey and man is it strong and its briefly interrupted by red wine,caramel and toffee kept real by a nice hoppy bitterness and rounded out with that predominant honey and overall it's a nice sipper where the barrel ageing was timed well but if you don't like honey this one ain't for you cheers.

Bottle: standard 330mL dark brown bottle, incredibly funky label - more a piece of art, in fact. A typically wonderful package from Moon Dog.
Appearance: pours a murky brown-orange with barely-visible fine carbonation. Very little head to speak of that dissipates rapidly to a thin ring. Very thick in body. Looks... interesting.
Aroma: strong, rich aromas of boozy sweet syrup caramel and molasses. Heavy fruits and some sherry.
Taste: a strong - almost overpowering - caramel malt with those heavy fruits tagging along. Some alcohol trailing.
Aftertaste: the alcohol becomes warming and tart on the finish with a lovely sweet sugar - gave me goose bumps. Very nice.
Mouth feel: quite heavy in body with a moderate fine carbonation. Quite sweet and smooth.
Overall: a fairly one-dimensional barleywine dominated by strong caramel malts, but there are enough other flavours backing to make this very drinkable. A bit too expensive though for the reasonable quality - I'll stick with Moylan's.

Moving to a lower intensity beer consumption schedule means that one values the beer which is consumed much more. There is much less time for poor beer. Fortunately, this is not a poor beer.
Dark murky, red-brown colour. Small off-white head but decent head retention for what there is.
Fruit, malt, barrel and booze. Massive dried fruit profile with raisins and dates. The sweetness is intense from the caramelised sugar. Almost cola like. The caramel and vanilla of the barrel is great and there is a touch of oak. Really good integration of aromas and flavours which all come together cohesively.
On the palate it is full and thick. Hard to believe it is 14%. The carbonation is nice too.
A really great beer. Lots of complex flavour and well controlled alcohol. A stunning Barleywine and thank goodness the Moon Dog guys managed to stop themselves from adding peated malt to this.

Anthony Warlow and Shelly Burch Star in Robin Hood – The Final Adventure Reading May 3
By Adam Hetrick
Australian actor Anthony Warlow, who currently stars in the Broadway revival of Annie, leads the cast of the May 3 and 6 staged readings of the Thomas Meehan-Martin Charnin-Peter Sipos musical Robin Hood – The Final Adventure.
As first reported by Playbill.com, Tony Award winner Charnin (Annie, Two By Two) directs the 29-hour Equity readings on May 3 and 6. Actress Jana Robbins and Better World Productions produce the reading.
The musical, which centers on Robin Hood and his band of men in the years following their adventures, was first presented in 2004 as part of the Village Originals series at the Village Theatre outside Seattle. Initially titled Robin Hood: The Legend Continues, the New York reading reflects new billing for the production: Robin Hood – The Final Adventure.
It has music by Sipos, a book by Tony Award winner Meehan (Annie, Hairspray, The Producers) and lyrics by Charnin. The reading has musical direction by Kevin Stites (Titanic).
In addition to Warlow as Robin Hood, the cast features Shelly Burch (Nine, Annie) as Maid Marian, Jason Collins, Dan Deluca, Aloysius Gigl (Ragtime), Brian Michael Hoffman (Seussical), Richard Mark Jordan (Scrooge), Simon Jones (Blithe Spirit), Michael X. Martin (Nice Work If You Can Get It), Eric Page, Christy Carlson Romano (Beauty and the Beast), AJ Shively (La Cage aux Folles), Jill Shackner (Les Miserables), Gordon Stanley (Cabaret, Ragtime), Richard M. Steele, Quinn Van Antwerp (Jersey Boys), Walter Willison (Grand Hotel) and Mark Elliot Wilson.
According to the creators, "Robin Hood, long thought to have been killed in the final battle of the Crusades, returns to England, to once again take up arms against the brutal tyranny of the brainless King John. There he reunites with his beloved Maid Marian, who has, to say the least, a major surprise for him, as they set off together on his last and greatest adventure!"

The NFL is one game into the 2013 season and Tim Tebow is somewhere he's not been for a long time — out of football, wondering if he can get back in.
Has he taken his last snap? Thrown a final spiral to a receiver open in the end zone? It's hard to imagine that's the case. Then again, for one of the most popular and polarizing figures to play the game, it's difficult to envision how he could make his way back onto a pro team and produce winning results as a quarterback.
Tebow is not a story about success and failure. From his high school days, where he was a Parade All-American and Florida's Player of the Year, he went on to the University of Florida where he won the Heisman Trophy and played on two BCS winning teams.
Some might say that's all well and good, but he's been a flop in the NFL. Tebow's game didn't suddenly change. His approach to running an offense wasn't altered. It's just a case where the abilities that worked so well in previous seasons weren't the same required to succeed in the NFL.
I recall listening to a radio show one winter night in the mid-1990s when Rick Pitino was coaching at the University of Kentucky. The caller was expressing doubt about a player who had had great success earlier in his career but failed to live up to future hype and expectations.
Pitino said it was wrong to minimize a player's past achievements because he didn't continue to dominate at the next level — either from high school to college or college to the pros. He lectured the caller, and said fans should recognize a player for what he or she did accomplish and not for what they didn't.
